Dig Architects is at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of energy-efficient, low-energy homesTORPOINT, U.K. - March 3, 2025 - PRLog -- In a landscape dominated by larger architectural firms, Dig Architects, a solo-run practice based in East Cornwall, proves that small businesses can make a significant impact on the design world. Specialising in creating affordable, low-energy homes, the firm blends modern aesthetics with outstanding energy performance, offering clients a personalised, high-quality service that sets them apart.Founded in 2022 by the experienced architect Daniel 'Dig' Mattholie, Dig Architects is reshaping custom home design to create residences that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings. By taking on a select number of projects each year, the firm ensures a bespoke, hands-on approach, providing clients with tailored attention and a design experience that meets their specific needs. Mattholie's philosophy centres on building long-lasting relationships and delivering energy-efficient, affordable, and visually striking homes."I've always believed in quality over quantity," says Mattholie. "As a solo practice, I can personally guide each project from start to finish, ensuring every detail is executed precisely. My goal is to create beautiful and affordable homes, offering a space that complements my clients' lifestyles while performing exceptionally well in energy efficiency."Located in the picturesque Rame Peninsula, Dig Architects works primarily in Cornwall and the South West, though its reputation for innovative design extends far beyond the region. The firm's portfolio includes an array of contemporary projects, a mix of new builds and refurbishment/extensions, all crafted with a focus on energy-efficient, low-energy construction solutions.Dig Architects is at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of energy-efficient, low-energy homes.  The company takes a 'fabric first' approach to house design to reduce operational energy demand. This is executed from the design stage through the construction of the building. Projects by Dig Architects are Net Zero operation as standard and have been for some time.With more UK construction projects setting ambitious energy and sustainability targets (estimated at 70% by the 2024 National Building Specification poll), the firm is well-aligned with growing national priorities for reducing energy consumption. Local councils are increasingly committed to new policies that require energy-efficient heating systems, reduced energy usage, and the integration of renewable energy into the performance of all new-build homes. The aim is to ensure that they generate or offset as much renewable energy as they consume.Dig says, "I work closely with each client to ensure their needs are met and that the design is environmentally sensitive and harmonious with the wider community. " The founder continues, "Every project is about creating something meaningful that reflects the area's unique qualities and is a home that meets energy performance targets whilst retaining both style, affordability and functionality."Although sustainability remains a core principle, the firm places equal emphasis on energy performance and affordability. Dig Architects endeavour to design simple yet high-performance buildings that actively incorporate renewable technologies like solar panels. Using carefully selected natural materials ensures that each home supports modern living while keeping operating costs low and contributing to a sustainable future.Dig lives in his own self-designed energy-efficient home, 'Hillside, ' an experimental case study to influence future projects. Dig strongly advocates for how low-energy design can save money in the long run and has the data to back it up. "With our onsite renewable energy production, like solar panels, combined with minimal energy demand (for space and water heating), our home acts as a mini 'green energy' power station," he explains. "It's fully electric—no oil or gas—and generates twice the energy it uses, even making a profit by selling back to the grid." He estimates that the energy savings be over £2,500 annually, adding up to more than £50,000 over 20 years. In addition to this, the house was built at a below national average build cost.Dig Architects is making a substantial impact as energy efficiency and low-energy homes become increasingly vital in the face of climate challenges. The firm offers affordable, high-performance homes that push the boundaries of what's possible. The firm is shaping the future of architecture in Cornwall and beyond through a perfect blend of innovative design and energy-conscious solutions.For more information on Dig Architects and how the firm can help bring your dream home to life, visit www.digarchitects.co.uk or contact hello@digarchitects.co.uk

LAS VEGAS - March 3, 2025 - PRLog -- The Nevada Supreme Court will review an appeal filed by Karina Singer—trustee and beneficiary of the Steven J. Singer Trust and Estate—in light of serious allegations of judicial and attorney misconduct. Evidence presented by Ms. Singer alleges that the court system has mistreated pro se litigants, indigent parties, and the elderly.Key Allegations Include:Fiduciary Breaches & Financial Misconduct:- Co-trustees Lenore Boekankamp and Natasha Singer are accused of embezzling and converting over $1 million in family trust funds, commingling assets, and withholding distributions.- The district court is alleged to have approved fraudulent accountings and altered evidence even after submissions became part of the official record.Elder Abuse:- Evidence shows that the co-trustees, Lenore and Natasha, neglected Steven J. Singer's care, isolating him from family while financially exploiting his resources in clear violation of Nevada statutes and trust provisions.Procedural and Due Process Failures:- The appeal asserts that the district court denied due process rights by failing to conduct proper evidentiary hearings, relying on outdated and altered evidence, and thereby committing what Ms. Singer describes as criminal fraud.Improper Use of Trust Funds for Legal Fees:- Trust funds were allegedly diverted to pay attorneys who engaged in bad faith litigation, further protecting the accused co-trustees.Ms. Singer's Statement:"I've stood in a rigged system, and I refuse to be silenced. Every injustice teaches us to fight harder. We must hold every institution accountable—whether Judges, Police, or those in power. This is our moment to demand truth and reform."The Court's Decision:The upcoming review could have far-reaching implications for fiduciary accountability, trust administration, and the protection of vulnerable parties.

The mental health industry watchdog, CCHR, shares the report's human rights abuse concerns and demands accountability as U.S. mental health facilities profit from coercion and neglect.LOS ANGELES - March 3, 2025 - PRLog -- A groundbreaking report from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights on Mental Health and Human Rights has called for an end to coercive psychiatric practices, highlighting widespread human rights violations within psychiatric institutions. The report exposes the mistreatment of individuals subjected to involuntary hospitalization, often in inhumane conditions, including cases where patients are physically restrained or chained. The lack of independent oversight and accountability is exacerbating violations of basic human rights in psychiatric treatment, across the globe, according to the report.[1]The Citizens Commission on Human Rights International (CCHR), a 56-year mental health industry watchdog, warns that these abuses remain prevalent in the United States. CCHR President Jan Eastgate asserts, "The UN and other agencies have determined that forced hospitalization strips individuals of their autonomy, often subjecting them to degrading conditions, physical restraints, forced drugging, and electroshock treatment against their will  Yet despite the US-ratified Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment, and even the American Convention on Human Rights, approximately 54% of psychiatric admissions in the country are involuntary, demonstrating a blatant disregard for human rights."[2]Evidence shows that forced hospitalization may also constitute a life-threatening risk. A study published in Suicide and Life-Threatening Behavior found that involuntary hospitalization is associated with an increased risk of suicide after psychiatric care.[3]The UN report calls for legal safeguards to ensure free and informed consent, prevent coercion, and address abuses in psychiatric interventions through comprehensive civil law reforms.Beyond forced hospitalization, the profit-driven exploitation of patients is another growing concern. Many private, for-profit psychiatric facilities hold voluntary patients against their will to maximize insurance reimbursements. In Washington, D.C., a woman was committed involuntarily after only a five-minute conversation with a doctor—despite the psychiatrist noting she was calm, cooperative, and possessed good judgment. Her medical records, however, falsely reflected the need for an involuntary stay, ensuring the hospital could bill insurance for the maximum amount. She was only released after securing a judge's intervention.[4]CCHR has also documented shocking levels of abuse within U.S. for-profit psychiatric facilities.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - March 2, 2025 - PRLog -- March is annually observed as Self-Harm Awareness Month but unless you are involved in mental health circles, you may not realize that around 17% of all people will self-harm during their lifetime and that 45% of people use cutting as their method of self-injury.Often children or teens have been brushed off as attention-seekers, but this dismissive attitude will not get at the core of the problem and can sometimes serve to justify no assistance.The Citizens Commission on Human Rights (CCHR), warns that the natural progression laid out by the psychiatric community often leads to a prescription of psychotropic drugs with no resolution of the original problem. The Florida chapter of CCHR, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to the protection of mental health human rights, notes that for children who have exhibited threat of self-harm at school, Baker Acting (the involuntary seizure and commitment to a psychiatric facility for up to 72 hours) is often the solution.However, there are studies that show certain lifestyle changes have been effective in treating those that self-harm.Information from almost 500 individuals who were being treated for self-harm or suicidal ideation was collected over 11 years from lifestyle and mental health measures. The information gathered revealed that "poor diet, and smoking were all associated with a higher average number of deliberate self-harm episodes" and that the lack of "balanced meals and smoking were the lifestyle behaviors that were found to have the strongest independent association with repeated self-harm"."The prescribing of psychiatric drugs with side effects such as suicide to those that self-harm is criminal," states the president for CCHR Florida, Diane Stein. "When someone you know is deliberately hurting themselves it can be very confusing and upsetting which is why it is important that a person seek help from a competent non-psychiatric medical doctor as a first course of action."In recognition of "Self-Harm Month", CCHR is inviting anyone interested in learning more about mental health human rights, parental rights or the mental health industry to visit the center in Florida located at 109 N. Fort Harrison Ave., in downtown Clearwater. For more information, please call 800-782-2878.About CCHR: Initially established by the Church of Scientology and renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas Szasz in 1969, CCHR's mission is to eradicate abuses committed under the guise of mental health and enact patient and consumer protections. L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology, first brought psychiatric imprisonment to wide public notice: "Thousands and thousands are seized without process of law, every week, over the 'free world' tortured, castrated, killed. All in the name of 'mental health,'" he wrote in March 1969.

Over the past few years, Georgia has increasingly denied entry to tourists from GCC countries, particularly those holding passports from Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka.BUR DUBAI, UAE - March 1, 2025 - PRLog -- The recent trends in Georgia's immigration policies have raised serious concerns among GCC residents, particularly those of South Asian origin. The country's continued denial of entry to tourists from the Middle East, often without valid reasons, has caused significant inconvenience, financial losses, and emotional distress to countless families. This issue has reached a point where it is no longer just a matter of individual frustration but a broader diplomatic and economic concern that demands immediate attention.The Problem: Unjust Denials and Inconsistent PoliciesOver the past few years, Georgia has increasingly denied entry to tourists from GCC countries, particularly those holding passports from Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka. The reasons provided by Georgian immigration authorities are frequently vague, inconsistent, and nonsensical, leaving both the affected individuals and the airlines baffled.One such incident occurred on 20th February 2025, when I traveled with my wife and our infant baby girl from Abu Dhabi to Kutaisi on a Wizz Air flight. Our family, along with twenty-five other GCC residents, was denied entry upon arrival in Georgia. The group included individuals holding Pakistani, Indian, and Sri Lankan passports, all of whom were legal residents of GCC countries. The Georgian immigration officers provided no clear reason for their decision, leaving us in a state of shock and confusion.Upon our return to Abu Dhabi, the investigation officer who received us confirmed that the reason given by Georgian immigration made no sense to the airline or the authorities at Abu Dhabi Airport.A Call for Action: GCC Governments Must Step InThe governments of GCC countries, particularly the UAE, must take decisive action to address this issue. GCC authorities should engage in diplomatic discussions with their Georgian counterparts to clarify the terms of entry and ensure that such incidents do not recur. If Georgia is unwilling to cooperate, then GCC countries should consider severing or reducing their tourism and economic ties with Georgia.Tourism is a two-way street, and countries that fail to respect their visitors do not deserve their patronage. GCC residents contribute significantly to Georgia's tourism sector, and it is only fair that they are treated with dignity and respect. Georgia's unjust and inconsistent immigration policies are causing more harm than good, not only to GCC tourists but also to its own tourism industry. If Georgia does not want or care about GCC tourists, then it is time for GCC countries to invest their tourism dollars elsewhere. Georgia's loss will undoubtedly be another country's gain.The experience has been shared by Waqar Ul Hassan, a Tech Entrepreneur and a Travel Enthusiast. Full story is here.

Top touring sound mixers, musicians and industry executives share entertaining anecdotes in book that benefits The Roadie ClinicPALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Feb. 28, 2025 - PRLog -- A new book, Just 100* Questions by Greg McVeigh offers an insider's look into the dynamics that make live sound reinforcement such a vibrant industry. Building on the successful Just One Question series of posts developed for Heil Sound, Just 100* Questions distills down the absolute essence of what it takes to be successful in the touring world. Featuring insights from sound mixers, musicians and executives in the pro audio industry, Just 100* Questions shines the spotlight on the people behind the scenes who make concerts come to life.  Rather than long-winded lengthy interviews, McVeigh asks top 100 professionals just one specific question based on their background and expertise. Individually, each "interview" is fun and punchy – full of joy and personality. But taken as a whole, the book is a veritable who's who of the industry."Greg has spent 50 years supporting touring professionals. From his time as director of marketing for QSC Audio to stints with Crest Audio and vice president of tour sound for Meyer Sound to his longtime relationship with Heil Sound and the late Bob Heil, he is one of the most respected players in the space," said pro audio consultant Mike Dias. "Very few individuals have the know how or access to pull off a project like this. It's one thing finding 100 A-List individuals in any industry, but for people who make their living blending into the darkness and being invisible by nature, this only happened because of Greg's relationships.""This is my love letter to the industry," says McVeigh. "As I've said many times, it's not about the show business glamour or the gear, it's about the people in the trenches. This book is my way of saying thank you and of acknowledging the focus and dedication that it takes to breathe life into shows night after night.""What I love most about this project is that Greg gives a face and a name to everyone side stage and backstage," says Paul Klimson, founder of The Roadie Clinic in Niles, MI. "He makes the concert industry human and relatable. I flip through the pages and see friends and extended family."A portion of each sale of Just 100* Questions will be donated to help support the mission of The Roadie Clinic. Says McVeigh, "Paul and Courtney Klimson are doing great things at their clinic. I'm a Michigan boy at heart and it's time to give back."Just 100* Questions is available now at Amazon.com.For more information on Roadie Clinic, visit www.theroadieclinic.com.

How One Man Lost Millions in Bitcoin and Fought Back Against Corporate NegligenceFORT WORTH, Texas & DETROIT - Feb. 26, 2025 - PRLog -- Brian Oakes, an IT network engineer, early cryptocurrency miner, and data privacy advocate, shares his gripping story in Undermined. The memoir chronicles his rise in the digital asset space, the devastating loss of over 500 Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (valued at $31.5 million) due to a sophisticated hack through his cell phone service provider, and his mission to expose consumer vulnerabilities while challenging corporations to take greater responsibility for safeguarding our data.This real-life David vs. Goliath story not only addresses digital security flaws but also delves into personal struggles, including his wife, Brandi's, battle with breast cancer. Through resilience and commitment to educating others, Oakes has transformed his tragedy into a mission for cybersecurity and data privacy awareness.Oakes' interest in cryptocurrency began with gold panning, eventually leading him to Bitcoin mining. His success made him a prime target for cybercriminals, who exploited his cell phone carrier's security weaknesses in a SIM swap attack that drained his digital fortune."I watched them drain everything, and then telling my wife Brandi was the hardest part—until her breast cancer diagnosis," says Oakes in Undermined.Oakes embarked on a legal battle against the cell service giant, highlighting the dangers of corporate negligence in cybersecurity.Above all, Oakes' story is about human resilience. As he navigated the aftermath of financial ruin, his family faced another heartbreaking challenge: Brandi's breast cancer diagnosis. Forced to confront both emotional and financial devastation, he found strength in his family and a renewed sense of purpose.Part financial thriller, part cautionary tale, Undermined goes beyond the numbers. Oakes takes readers on a deeply personal journey, from his early days as a self-proclaimed computer nerd to a respected IT engineer and crypto miner who built a digital fortune, only to see it vanish overnight."This book isn't just about Bitcoin or hackers.
