<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>While her older brothers grab headlines for their size and pack dynamics, Khaleesi, the youngest member of <a href="https://time.com/7274542/colossal-dire-wolf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossal Biosciences’ dire wolf</a> family, is emerging as a personality powerhouse who perfectly embodies her legendary namesake. The three-month-old female dire wolf represents far more than a scientific achievement—she’s demonstrating that courage, curiosity, and fierce independence transcend species and even extinction itself.</p>
<p><strong>A Singleton’s Bold Spirit</strong></p>
<p>Born in January 2025 as the lone pup in her litter, Khaleesi entered the world under unique circumstances that seem to have shaped her remarkable personality. Unlike her brothers Romulus and Remus, who had each other for companionship from birth, Khaleesi developed as what animal behaviorists call a “singleton”—an experience that appears to have fostered extraordinary confidence and self-reliance.</p>
<p>“Khaleesi was a singleton, and she’s just so brave and she’s happy and excited all the time, in all the best ways,” explains Paige McNickle, Colossal’s animal husbandry manager, who has observed the female dire wolf’s development since birth. “That fun, fierce, female is definitely, like what always pops into mind.”</p>
<p>At 35 pounds, Khaleesi already demonstrates the genetic modifications that distinguish dire wolves from their modern gray wolf relatives. Despite being three months younger than her brothers, she tracks 10-15% larger than comparable gray wolves of her age, validating Colossal’s successful integration of ancient <a href="https://colossal.com/direwolf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dire wolf</a> characteristics.</p>
<p><strong>The Pool Conquest: A Study in Problem-Solving</strong></p>
<p>Perhaps no single moment better captures Khaleesi’s character than her <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OHC_eHmDo8&t=1s" target="_blank" rel="noopener">first encounter with a swimming pool</a>—an experience that revealed both vulnerability and remarkable adaptability. Unlike her brothers, who had each other for mutual support during new experiences, Khaleesi faced this challenge alone, initially showing the only hesitation her caretakers had ever observed from her.</p>
<p>“Khaleesi, when we introduced her to the swimming pool, she was a little bit hesitant. She had never seen that,” McNickle recalls. “She also didn’t have a buddy to give her that sense of let’s go explore and do something different. It’s the only time we’ve actually seen her be a little nervous around anything.”</p>
<p>The team’s approach demonstrated sophisticated understanding of animal psychology. Rather than forcing the interaction, they provided graduated exposure and positive associations. “So how we bridge that is we just went over with her, put our hands in so she can see, put some of her favorite toys in that she likes to play with and chew on,” McNickle explains.</p>
<p>Within hours, Khaleesi’s natural boldness reasserted itself. Her curiosity overcame caution as she reached for toys in the water, progressing from tentative paw placement to full exploration. “And then she wanted to start grabbing at all of the toys that were in the pool. And so she started, you know, to explore by putting her head down.”</p>
<p>The transformation was dramatic and swift. “And then within, just like a day, she was jumping in, splashing around,” McNickle notes. This rapid adaptation showcases the problem-solving abilities and behavioral flexibility that may have made <a href="https://people.com/dire-wolves-double-in-size-over-6-months-after-de-extinction-11765475" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dire wolves</a> such successful predators during the Ice Age.</p>
<p><strong>Natural Instincts and Modern Applications</strong></p>
<p>Khaleesi’s behavior extends far beyond swimming adventures. Her daily activities demonstrate authentic dire wolf instincts emerging through genetic memory. She engages enthusiastically in what her care team calls “weight training”—activities designed to develop the powerful musculature that characterized her extinct ancestors.</p>
<p>Her interaction with bones and natural materials reveals fascinating parallels to ancient feeding behaviors. “People want to know why the dire wolves are always seen chewing sticks and antlers,” McNickle explains. “The bones help strengthen their teeth with the extra calcium and minerals that are in that.”</p>
<p>More intriguingly, Khaleesi demonstrates sophisticated foraging behaviors that likely mirror those of her Ice Age predecessors. “There’s a lot of behaviors where you see them picking off the bark and the moss. One, that’s nutrients, so they can eat that. And in the wild, they would pick off some of that stuff and eat it.”</p>
<p>These activities serve multiple purposes beyond nutrition. “Also it’s just good for learning how to skin something, pull it apart and developing all the muscles you need with that,” McNickle notes, indicating how genetic programming continues to express itself even in carefully managed captive environments.</p>
<p><strong>The Science of Personality</strong></p>
<p>Khaleesi’s distinctive character traits offer researchers unprecedented insights into the intersection of genetics, environment, and personality development in de-extinct species. Her boldness and social confidence contrast sharply with the typical wariness exhibited by wild canids, yet her feeding and exploration behaviors remain authentically lupine.</p>
<p>“She’s spunky, she’s smart. She has still this big sweet side where she’ll turn her back so you can scratch her back,” McNickle observes. “She’s always kind of like seeing what everyone’s doing and ready to, like, experience it.”</p>
<p>This combination of approachability and wild authenticity presents fascinating questions for de-extinction science. How much of personality stems from genetic inheritance versus environmental factors? Can ancient behavioral programs successfully integrate with modern care protocols?</p>
<p><strong>Conservation Implications</strong></p>
<p>While Khaleesi’s charming personality captures public attention, her existence serves broader conservation goals. The techniques used to create her are simultaneously being applied to critically endangered species, including the red wolf conservation program that <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@Colossal" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colossal Biosciences</a> supports through genetic rescue efforts.</p>
<p>Her successful development validates non-invasive cloning methods that could revolutionize conservation biology. Rather than requiring tissue samples that stress endangered animals, Colossal’s approach uses blood-derived cells, making genetic rescue more practical for vulnerable populations.</p>
<p><strong>Future Integration</strong></p>
<p>As Khaleesi continues developing, Colossal’s team is carefully planning her eventual integration with her older brothers. The process will require patience and scientific rigor, given the complex social dynamics of wolf packs and the significant age difference between the animals.</p>
<p>“We’re really excited about that,” McNickle explains regarding future pack formation. “Will have a lot of opportunity in sort of a stage gated process where Khaleesi gets closer and closer to the boys, until one day we’re able to open the doors and put them all out on the preserve together.”</p>
<p>This integration will provide crucial data about social dynamics in de-extinct species and could influence future decisions about breeding programs and habitat management.</p>
<p><strong>Beyond Science Fiction</strong></p>
<p>Three months after her birth, Khaleesi represents far more than a remarkable scientific achievement. She embodies the potential for genetic engineering to restore not just physical characteristics but complex behavioral traits that disappeared millennia ago. Her boldness, problem-solving abilities, and social confidence suggest that de-extinction can successfully resurrect the essential “wildness” that made dire wolves apex predators.</p>
<p>As she grows toward her eventual adult size of 130-150 pounds, Khaleesi will continue serving as a living laboratory for understanding how ancient genetics express themselves in modern environments. But perhaps more importantly, she demonstrates that extinction need not be permanent—that with scientific innovation, even legendary predators can reclaim their place in the world, bringing their ancient wisdom and fierce independence back to life.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p><strong>As the Egghead arc approaches a pivotal point, episode 1138 of One Piece is shaping up to be one of the most emotionally charged instalments of the series so far. With Kuma’s surprise reappearance, Bonney’s moment of heartbreak, and a confrontation with the fearsome Saturn, this episode promises to blend action with narrative depth. It’s not just another fight or backstory it’s a reunion long awaited and a clash with implications that stretch across the entire world of One Piece. Whether you’re a long-time follower or someone catching up on the anime’s most dramatic arcs, this episode is bound to resonate. Let’s unpack the key developments, character dynamics, and major takeaways from this upcoming release.</strong></p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>When and where will episode 1138 of One Piece be released?</strong></h2>
<p>Mark your calendars for 3 August 2025 that’s when episode 1138 of One Piece officially drops. The release schedule is split by platform, giving fans a variety of options depending on where and how they prefer to watch. For those watching in the UK, Crunchyroll will make the episode available at 9:30 AM, while ADN will stream it at 8:00 PM. If you’re someone who prefers to binge-watch episodes or access content via subscription bundles, you’ll be pleased to know that Netflix will include the episode from 10 August 2025 onwards.</p>
<p>To enhance your One Piece experience, you might also enjoy browsing the <a href="https://anime-figures-shop.co.uk/collections/one-piece-figures" target="_blank" rel="noopener">One Piece figures</a> collection. It’s part of a broader assortment of <a href="https://anime-figures-shop.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">anime figures</a> that reflect key characters, dramatic scenes, and iconic moments from the series including those found in the Egghead arc. Perfect for collectors or fans who want a tangible link to the saga. Episode 1138 isn’t just filler or setup. It signals a major narrative progression, particularly concerning Kuma’s relationship with Bonney and the direct challenge to Saturn’s authority. Fans who’ve been tracking the evolution of Vegapunk’s inventions and the mysterious workings of the World Government are likely to find this episode especially revealing.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Why is episode 1138 a turning point in the Egghead arc?</strong></h2>
<p>This episode dives into layered storytelling where emotional stakes and revolutionary technologies intersect. The Egghead arc has already raised the bar for tension, but episode 1138 is where emotional weight overtakes raw spectacle. We witness Bonney reliving fragments of her father’s past an act that not only humanises Kuma but also raises profound questions about memory, loyalty, and the cost of technological advancement.</p>
<p>By failing to use the power of Nika due to her hesitation, Bonney highlights a recurring theme in One Piece: that belief and emotional certainty often carry more weight than brute strength. Saturn’s villainous role becomes more pronounced here, with chilling revelations about his involvement in Kuma’s suffering and the underlying forces shaping the power of Devil Fruits. The episode is also a commentary on resilience Kuma’s body, despite being biologically altered and memory-wiped, continues to fight with a kind of primal instinct. His emergence on Egghead is not just physical it is symbolic of suppressed history bursting through layers of manipulation.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>What does Kuma’s return really mean?</strong></h2>
<p>Kuma’s sudden entrance onto the battlefield is far more than a dramatic rescue. It challenges everything viewers thought they understood about programming, autonomy and the loss of humanity. The moment he lands a powerful punch on Saturn, the entire premise of his helplessness is turned on its head. Despite being stripped of memory, function and will, Kuma’s act of protection reveals that love and duty can transcend even the most brutal scientific interference. The episode thus becomes an exploration of what remains when all else has been erased. Can the body remember what the mind has forgotten? Kuma’s actions suggest it can.</p>
<p>This throws Saturn off balance not just physically but ideologically. His reaction isn’t merely to an enemy attack; it’s to a breach in a system he believed airtight. This adds a layer of philosophical intrigue to the fight, echoing motifs of rebellion, identity and freedom. Whether Sanji, Franky or other Straw Hat members will join the fray remains to be seen, but the emotional stakes have already reached boiling point.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Bonney’s emotional breakthrough</li>
<li>Kuma’s suppressed humanity</li>
<li>Vegapunk’s moral conflict</li>
<li>Saturn’s terrifying abilities</li>
<li>Power of memories</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>How does this episode reshape Saturn’s character?</strong></h2>
<p>Episode 1138 exposes more than just Saturn’s power it peels back the layers of his political and moral façade. Once seen as a calm and composed leader, Saturn here descends into open aggression, revealing both desperation and fear in the face of defiance.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Saturn’s hypocrisy laid bare</strong></h3>
<p>Saturn has long represented the cold, calculated grip of the World Government. However, this episode hints at deeper personal investments perhaps guilt, pride, or something even darker. His admission of involvement in Bonney’s mother’s illness and Kuma’s transformation brings emotional gravity to his antagonism. He is no longer an abstract villain; he is personally responsible for suffering.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The shifting dynamic of authority</strong></h3>
<p>With Saturn rattled and Kuma reborn as a fighter, the balance of control starts to shift. Authority, in the world of One Piece, has always been vulnerable to courage. And in this episode, that vulnerability is visible in Saturn’s hesitation and surprise. The stage is set for wider rebellion not just among pirates, but within the systems of control themselves.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>What should viewers expect next?</strong></h2>
<p>The tension built in episode 1138 is far from over. With the fight disrupted and alliances tested, the next episodes are likely to dive deeper into Bonney’s origins, Kuma’s true purpose, and Vegapunk’s final intentions. The introduction of advanced technology alongside ancient family legacies gives this storyline a unique flavour part sci-fi thriller, part emotional drama. Fans can anticipate expanded scenes of internal conflict among the Straw Hats, possibly drawing in Luffy, Zoro and Robin. What happens on Egghead has implications for the wider narrative, especially with growing hints at the fall of the World Government and the endgame involving Nika’s legend.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The future of One Piece is here</strong></h2>
<p><em>Episode 1138 isn’t just about Bonney and Kuma. It’s about every viewer who’s ever believed in the power of human connection against overwhelming odds. It’s about memory, loss, rebellion and hope. The heart of One Piece beats louder than ever.</em></p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Key points to remember</strong></h3>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Episode airs on 3 August 2025 on Crunchyroll and ADN</li>
<li>Netflix release scheduled for 10 August 2025</li>
<li>Kuma returns to protect Bonney despite memory loss</li>
<li>Saturn’s involvement in Kuma’s past is revealed</li>
<li>Bonney attempts to use Nika’s power but hesitates</li>
<li>Vegapunk’s role becomes increasingly complex</li>
<li>Other Straw Hats may soon join the confrontation</li>
<li>Emotional storytelling drives the episode’s core</li>
</ul>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Few executives will admit their mistakes—after all, CEOs must appear untouchable and confident. However, <a href="https://www.marketscreener.com/insider/MICHAEL-POLK-A00Q6Y/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">former CEO of Newell Brands Michael Polk</a> believes the opposite is true: authentic leaders need to admit their mistakes and learn from them. Not only does that make them more relatable to employees, but it also fosters a culture where it’s okay to take risks, think outside the box, and create real change.</p>
<p>In <a href="https://m.doyoubuzz.com/michael-polk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Polk’s experience</a>, mistakes sting in the moment, but they’re essential to learning and doing better in the future. “I’ve made plenty of mistakes and had plenty of challenges in my career that have hurt in the moment, but you grow through those experiences,” he adds. Michael Polk explains how he put this unique philosophy into practice over the course of his 42-year career.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Learning Through Adversity</h2>
<p>Polk’s ability to lead through adversity has been a hallmark of his career. His current <a href="https://www.implus.com/leadership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">role at Implus</a>, which he originally took on an interim basis in 2020, became more demanding when COVID-19 hit. “Two months after I got there, COVID struck, and we went through a period of complete turmoil. Moments like that require rolling up your sleeves and figuring out how to help the company prevail,” he says.</p>
<p>Under Polk’s leadership, Implus implemented the “Double Down” strategy, restructuring operations and cutting costs through “Project Rise,” which saved over $20 million. These efforts contributed to a 60% increase in EBITDA and positioned the company for sustained growth. It wasn’t an easy road, but making mistakes—and plenty of them—allowed the brand to pivot during historic uncertainty.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Former CEO of Newell Brands Michael Polk’s Priorities</h2>
<p>Leaders can’t be everywhere at once. It’s necessary to understand which factors will have the biggest impact on the company and how to leverage them. However, external factors make this far from a simple choice.</p>
<p><a href="https://nyweekly.com/business/michael-polk-from-newell-ceo-to-growth-mindset-advocate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">According to Polk</a>, leadership roles differ significantly based on company size and ownership structure. For large public companies, Polk notes, “Your time is allocated differently. As a CEO of a public company, I was spending 30% of my time with investors and the public markets. The role is about unlocking shareholder value, focusing on strategic agendas, and leading through others.”</p>
<p>Small companies, on the other hand, allow for a more hands-on approach. “In a small company, you are leading by doing. I’m working directly with the marketing team, sales team, and building the architecture for the company’s future. There are no multiple layers between me and the people doing the work,” Polk says. “Private equity infuses capital into businesses that need breathing room to transform. You can take a little more risk in strategic directions and make mistakes without material consequences, as long as resources aren’t wasted.”</p>
<p>After working in both types of companies, <a href="https://cyprus-mail.com/2025/01/23/why-private-companies-excel-according-to-former-ceo-of-newell-brands-michael-polk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Polk</a> believes that small, private businesses are a better fit for his more iterative approach to growth. Since the stakes are much lower in private equity, where companies aren’t expected to generate returns quarter after quarter, it’s okay to take risks. Not all risks pay off, but that’s just part of the journey of growing, learning, and ultimately transforming mistakes into opportunities.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Leadership Is A Learning Curve</h2>
<p>Nobody’s perfect, including CEOs. But after more than 40 years in the hot seat, Michael Polk has refined his approach not by avoiding potential mistakes, but by embracing their <a href="https://www.youngupstarts.com/2024/11/22/implus-ceo-michael-polk-explains-why-leaders-thrive-in-privately-owned-businesses/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lessons for leaders</a>. For Polk, leadership is not about perfection but progress. “The satisfaction has always been about personal growth and the relationships I’ve built. It’s about applying what I’ve learned over 40 years and seeing the impact of those lessons,” he says. “It’s all been opportunity. Some of that opportunity realized in a way I couldn’t have imagined and others maybe not fully realized, but part of the growth experience.”</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>MetaTrader 4 launched over two decades ago, yet it continues to dominate the trading platform landscape. While newer platforms emerge regularly, millions of traders worldwide still choose MT4 for their daily trading activities. What makes this platform so enduring?</p>
<p>The answer lies in a combination of reliability, functionality, and accessibility that newer platforms struggle to match. MT4 has proven itself through market crashes, technological advances, and changing trading regulations. </p>
<p>It remains the foundation for countless trading strategies and continues to attract both newcomers and experienced professionals. Let’s explore five compelling reasons why traders keep coming back to this established platform.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Simplicity and User-Friendleness</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.tmgm.com/en/platform/metatrader-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MetaTrader 4</a> strikes the perfect balance between powerful functionality and intuitive design. New traders can navigate the platform without feeling overwhelmed, while experienced users appreciate the streamlined workflow.</p>
<p>The platform’s interface presents essential information clearly. Charts, order windows, and account details are organized logically. You won’t waste time searching for basic functions or deciphering complex menus. Everything you need appears where you expect it.</p>
<p>This simplicity extends to order execution. Placing trades requires just a few clicks. The platform responds quickly to commands, reducing the friction between decision and action. </p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tailoring MT4 to Your Trading Style</h2>
<p>Every trader works differently, and MT4 accommodates these individual preferences through <a href="https://www.ask.com/news/customize-mt4-desktop-interface-optimal-trading" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extensive customization</a> options. You can modify virtually every aspect of the platform to match your trading approach.</p>
<p>The workspace adapts to your needs. Arrange charts, indicators, and tools exactly how you want them. Save multiple layouts for different trading strategies or market conditions. Switch between setups instantly as opportunities arise.</p>
<p>Color schemes, chart styles, and indicator parameters all bend to your preferences. Create a trading environment that feels natural and reduces eye strain during long sessions. These customizations might seem minor, but they significantly impact your daily trading experience.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Automated Trading with Expert Advisors (EAs)</h2>
<p>Expert Advisors transform MT4 from a manual trading platform into an automated trading powerhouse. These programs execute trades according to predefined rules, removing emotion from trading decisions.</p>
<p>Creating EAs doesn’t require advanced programming knowledge. The platform’s MQL4 language offers sufficient flexibility for most trading strategies while remaining accessible to beginners. You can automate simple tasks like closing positions at specific times or complex strategies involving multiple indicators.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Strong Community Support and Resources for MT4 Users</h2>
<p>The MT4 community spans decades and includes millions of active traders worldwide. This extensive network creates an unmatched resource for learning, troubleshooting, and strategy development.</p>
<p>Online forums buzz with discussions about trading strategies, technical issues, and market analysis. Experienced traders share insights freely, helping newcomers avoid common pitfalls. The collective knowledge accumulated over years of MT4 usage creates a valuable learning environment.</p>
<p>Educational resources abound across multiple platforms. Video tutorials, strategy guides, and indicator explanations help traders maximize the platform’s potential. This wealth of information reduces the learning curve significantly.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Downtown Pittsburgh’s streetscape has evolved from an austere business district into a vibrant pedestrian-oriented environment. Sidewalk cafes occupy formerly vacant sidewalks, restored historic facades reflect afternoon light, and walkable spaces prioritize human interaction over automobile convenience. Such transformation stems from European urban design principles paired with Pittsburgh philanthropic investment, anchored by <a href="https://grantexec.com/foundations/311479839" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colcom Foundation’s sustained support</a> of the Paris to Pittsburgh program.</p>
<p>A matching grant initiative launched in 2007 has generated $4.6 million in private investment across 73 projects throughout <a href="https://gwpa.org/enlivening-our-streetscapes-paris-pittsburgh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle</a>. Property owners receive grants up to $50,000 with required 50 percent matching funds, targeting facade improvements and sidewalk activation projects that mirror pedestrian-oriented design found in major European cities.</p>
<p><strong>Foundation Support Drives Urban Design Innovation</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://www.colcomfdn.org/about/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colcom Foundation</a>, established by Cordelia Scaife May in 1996, has provided continuous funding for the Paris to Pittsburgh program administered by the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership. Environmental conservation principles guide the foundation’s approach through urban sustainability—supporting projects that reduce automobile dependence while enhancing walkable community spaces.</p>
<p>Jeremy Waldrup, President and CEO of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, <a href="https://gwpa.org/enlivening-our-streetscapes-paris-pittsburgh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted the foundation’s impact</a>: “Through their investment in the Paris to Pittsburgh program, Colcom Foundation has demonstrated a commitment to restoring and revitalizing properties throughout Downtown, ensuring that Downtown Pittsburgh remains vibrant and beautiful.”</p>
<p>John Rohe, a member of Colcom Foundation’s board of directors, emphasized the community-building aspects: “By restoring historic facades and opening restaurants to outdoor dining, Paris to Pittsburgh draws on the charm of European cities. It builds community. With eyes on the street, it promotes security. This is home. Thank you, Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, for enabling livability to just happen”.</p>
<p>Two distinct grant categories structure the program. Sidewalk Activation Grants encourage outdoor dining elements including retractable awnings, street furniture, enhanced lighting, and landscaping features. <a href="https://downtownpittsburgh.com/do-business/paris-to-pittsburgh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Facade Grants</a> support building exterior improvements independent of dining installations, focusing on architectural restoration and accessibility enhancements.</p>
<p><strong>Contemporary Context and Broader Revitalization Efforts</strong></p>
<p>Paris to Pittsburgh now operates within a significantly expanded downtown revitalization framework. Governor Josh Shapiro announced a <a href="https://dced.pa.gov/newsroom/governor-shapiro-announces-historic-plan-to-revitalize-downtown-pittsburgh-with-targeted-investments-from-the-commonwealth-local-government-the-private-sector-and-philanthropic-organizations/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$600 million downtown Pittsburgh investment package</a> in October 2024, featuring collaborative funding from state government, private sector partners, and philanthropic organizations.</p>
<p>Comprehensive planning includes $30 million allocated specifically for Market Square improvements and Liberty Avenue median enhancements, extending the pedestrian-focused design philosophy that Paris to Pittsburgh pioneered. Officials aim to create 1,000 residential units downtown by 2028, with affordable housing comprising one-third of new developments.</p>
<p>Current planning documents show Market Square operating with <a href="https://nextpittsburgh.com/city-design/10-major-developments-were-watching-in-2025/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reduced automobile access</a>, following successful implementation during the 2024 summer market season. A permanent crescent-shaped trellis will reference the area’s historical market structures from the early 1800s, demonstrating how contemporary urban design can acknowledge historical precedent while serving modern community.</p>
<p>Timing coincides with Pittsburgh’s preparation to host the 2026 NFL Draft, creating additional motivation for public space improvements that will showcase the city’s urban design achievements to national audiences. Point State Park renovations, including fountain lighting updates and expanded recreational facilities, complement the Paris to Pittsburgh program’s emphasis on creating engaging public spaces.</p>
<p>Private sector involvement has expanded beyond individual property owners to include major regional employers and foundations. Companies including PNC Bank, PPG Industries, Giant Eagle, and Pittsburgh’s professional sports teams have committed funding alongside foundations such as the Heinz Endowments and Hillman Foundation.</p>
<p>Paris to Pittsburgh demonstrates how targeted philanthropic investment can catalyze broader urban transformation. What began as individual facade improvements and sidewalk cafe installations has evolved into comprehensive neighborhood redesign that prioritizes pedestrian experience, historic preservation, and community interaction. Colcom Foundation’s sustained support provided the foundational investment that enabled this evolution from isolated projects to systematic urban improvement.</p>
<p>Downtown Pittsburgh’s current trajectory toward residential development and mixed-use programming validates the environmental and community principles that originally motivated the Paris to Pittsburgh concept. Reduced automobile dependence through enhanced walkability contributes to measurable environmental benefits while creating more livable urban spaces that foster community engagement and historic preservation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>In recent years, most homeowners have started to choose metal roofs. It is one of the most durable roofs, lasting for up to 70 years with the least maintenance. It also comes in various textures that enhance the beauty of your home. Make sure to hire reliable metal roofing experts in Texas for proper installation. This blog discusses key reasons for choosing metal roofs for your home. Read more below.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Benefits of Metal Roofs for Your Home</strong></h2>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>1. Extreme Strength and Durability</strong></h3>
<p>The incredibly long life span of metal roofs is, without a doubt, one of the primary reasons for a homeowners’ roof material transition. Asphalt shingles have an average lifespan of 15 to 25 years, but a properly installed metal roof will last at least twice as long; most metal roofs will last 40 to 70 years. Metal roofs are designed to withstand extreme weather such as heavy snow, strong winds, and rain. They’re also resistant to cracking, shrinking, and eroding.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>2. Cost Saving and Energy Saving</strong></h3>
<p><a href="https://www.911exteriors.com/metal-roofs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metal roofing experts</a> can help homeowners reduce their energy bills, particularly in hotter climates. The majority of metal roofs come with a special coating that reflects sunlight, reflects heat, and reduces the amount of heat absorbed by the house during the summer. That translates to less strain on the air conditioning and cheaper energy bills. Make sure to collaborate with a reliable contractor like 911 Exteriors Roofing & Construction for efficient installation.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>3. Low Maintenance</strong></h3>
<p>Due to the fact that shingles break, loosen, and fall out, metal roofing is much easier to maintain. You’ll need to keep your eye on asphalt shingles, which may dry out, curl, or disappear over time and need regular maintenance. Metal roofs, on the other hand, don’t host moisture, mildew, rot, or insects. For a metal roof, a round of periodic cleaning and an occasional inspection typically do the trick in maintaining its health and shine for decades.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>4. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable</strong></h3>
<p>Sustainability is a primary goal for a lot of homeowners these days, and metal roofing satisfies that demand. The majority of metal roofs contain recycled materials, and upon reaching the end of their lifespan, they’re 100 percent recyclable! Metal not only can be recycled but in many cases already contains a high percentage of recycled material, so it is much greener versus asphalt shingles, which often go to landfill.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>5. Improve Curb Appeal</strong></h3>
<p>Metal roofing has come a long way from utilitarian, and today’s versions are both functional and stylish. With both colors, finishes, and profiles to choose from, a homeowner can customize their look to be traditional or modern ranging from rustic cabins to modern homes. In fact, standing seam metal roofs in particular provide the clean, modern look that appeals to many. A good-looking, high-functioning roof is an important part of a house; for potential buyers, it could be a selling point. Hiring professional metal roofing experts will provide diverse options that match the exterior of your home.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>6. Fire and Weather Resistance</strong></h3>
<p>Metal roofs are naturally fire-resistant. A huge pro is that they are not flammable, which is great if you live in a wildfire-prone environment. And they withstand harsh weather better than traditional roofs. From hail to heavy snow, metal roofs are built to last under pressure. In regions where hurricanes or severe storms can pose a threat, a well-installed metal roof can serve as an invaluable first line of defense for your home.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>In an era when technological innovation and environmental conservation are often positioned as opposing forces, entrepreneur Ben Lamm has pioneered a different approach through Colossal Biosciences. By integrating cutting-edge genetic technology with conservation biology, Lamm has created a unique business model that addresses biodiversity challenges while advancing scientific understanding. The company’s groundbreaking work with the dire wolf exemplifies this vision and potentially signals a new chapter in conservation science.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>A Conservation-First Philosophy</strong></h2>
<p>When Ben Lamm co-founded Colossal Biosciences, he established a company with a distinctive approach to genetic technology. Unlike entities focused primarily on commercial applications or academic research, Colossal positioned itself at the intersection of conservation biology and genetic innovation.</p>
<p>This conservation-first philosophy shapes every aspect of the company’s work. As <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/07/science/dire-wolf-de-extinction-cloning-colossal/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN reported following the announcement</a>, Lamm has consistently emphasized that Colossal “develops and leverages synthetic biology to achieve conservation aims, with beneficial side-effects for fundamental biological research and medical research alike.”</p>
<p>The dire wolf project exemplifies this approach. Rather than pursuing de-extinction as an end in itself, Lamm has positioned it as a means of developing technologies that can help address the broader biodiversity crisis while simultaneously exploring the possibility of restoring lost ecological functions.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Beyond Perfect Replication</strong></h2>
<p>A key aspect of Ben Lamm’s vision at Colossal is the focus on ecological function rather than perfect genetic recreation. The company defines species primarily by their ecological niche—the specific role they play within ecosystems—rather than solely by genetic markers or morphological features.</p>
<p>This perspective acknowledges that creating a 100% genetically identical copy of an extinct species may be impossible given the degradation of ancient DNA and our incomplete understanding of gene interactions. Instead, Lamm has directed Colossal to focus on identifying and recreating the genetic traits that allowed extinct species to fulfill specific ecological functions.</p>
<p>For the dire wolf, this meant targeting genes that created the distinctive physical and behavioral traits separating them from modern wolves. These traits allowed dire wolves to occupy a specific ecological niche in Pleistocene North America—a niche that has remained unfilled since their extinction approximately 13,000 years ago.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Building Interdisciplinary Teams</strong></h2>
<p>To implement his vision, Lamm has assembled extraordinarily diverse teams of experts at Colossal Biosciences. The dire wolf project integrated expertise from paleogenomics, computational biology, evolutionary genetics, molecular biology, and reproductive science—fields that traditionally operate in separate academic silos.</p>
<p>This interdisciplinary approach represents one of Lamm’s most significant contributions to conservation science. By bringing together specialists who might not otherwise collaborate, he creates opportunities for innovation that wouldn’t exist within traditional research structures.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20250407444322/en/Colossal-Announces-Worlds-First-De-Extinction-Birth-of-Dire-Wolves" target="_blank" rel="noopener">company’s official announcement</a> emphasized this collaborative approach, noting that the dire wolf achievement required integrating multiple scientific disciplines around a shared conservation mission. This model potentially offers a template for how other conservation challenges might be addressed through interdisciplinary innovation.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Technology Development with Multiple Applications</strong></h2>
<p>Lamm’s business acumen is evident in how Colossal develops technologies with applications beyond a single project. The genetic techniques created for the dire wolf work have potential uses across conservation biology, medical research, and other fields—creating multiple pathways for both scientific advancement and commercial sustainability.</p>
<p>These technologies include:</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Methods for extracting and analyzing highly degraded DNA</li>
<li>Computational approaches for identifying functionally significant genetic variations</li>
<li>Multiplex gene editing techniques for modifying multiple genes simultaneously</li>
<li>Reproductive technologies optimized for endangered species</li>
</ul>
<p>By creating tools with broad applicability, Lamm ensures that Colossal’s work has value regardless of how completely they can recreate extinct species. This approach reflects sophisticated business thinking that balances ambitious conservation goals with practical considerations about sustainability and impact.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Tangible Results in Scientific Innovation</strong></h2>
<p>One of the most remarkable aspects of Ben Lamm’s leadership at Colossal is the focus on producing tangible scientific results. Unlike purely theoretical science or speculative technology ventures, Colossal has created living animals that embody their scientific hypotheses—concrete achievements that demonstrate the viability of their approach.</p>
<p>The wolf pups carrying dire wolf traits, featured prominently in <a href="https://time.com/7274542/colossal-dire-wolf/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Time Magazine’s exclusive coverage</a>, provide compelling validation of the science in ways that academic papers or theoretical proposals cannot. This physicality distinguishes Colossal’s work from many technology companies that operate primarily in digital or conceptual realms.</p>
<p>Lamm’s emphasis on tangible results reflects his understanding of both scientific validation and public engagement. By creating observable, physical embodiments of their work, Colossal makes complex genetic science accessible to broader audiences while providing empirical evidence of their technological capabilities.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>Engaging Public Support Through Education</strong></h2>
<p>Recognizing that addressing biodiversity challenges requires both technological innovation and public support, Lamm has prioritized educational outreach alongside scientific advancement. Colossal produces<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV-a-2sT_5z9bt5lktscUdQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV-a-2sT_5z9bt5lktscUdQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extensive educational content</a> explaining both their specific projects and the broader scientific concepts underlying their work.</p>
<p>This approach acknowledges that conservation success depends on public understanding and engagement—factors that can’t be addressed through technology alone. By making complex genetic science accessible to non-specialists, Colossal potentially builds broader support for both their specific work and conservation efforts more generally.</p>
<p>The educational materials highlight both the scientific sophistication of their approach and its practical conservation applications. This dual focus reflects Lamm’s understanding that effective science communication requires both technical accuracy and clear explanation of real-world relevance.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>A Global Conservation Vision</strong></h2>
<p>While the dire wolf project focuses on a North American species, Lamm’s vision for Colossal extends globally. The company has engaged with conservation organizations, research institutions, and indigenous communities worldwide, building networks that can support both de-extinction research and broader conservation applications.</p>
<p>This global perspective acknowledges that biodiversity challenges transcend national boundaries and require international collaboration. By developing technologies with worldwide applicability while engaging diverse stakeholders, Lamm positions Colossal as a global conservation leader rather than simply a U.S.-based technology company.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>The Evolving Vision</strong></h2>
<p>As Colossal continues to develop under Lamm’s leadership, the vision continues to evolve based on scientific discoveries, technological capabilities, and emerging conservation priorities. This adaptability represents another strength of Lamm’s approach—balancing clear long-term goals with flexibility about specific implementations.</p>
<p>The dire wolf project provides a foundation for this evolving vision. As <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/04/14/the-dire-wolf-is-back" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New Yorker documented in their profile</a>, each advancement in the project has revealed new possibilities for conservation applications, suggesting how the company’s work might continue to develop in coming years.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a><strong>A New Model for Conservation Leadership</strong></h2>
<p>Through his work at Colossal Biosciences, Ben Lamm has created a new model for conservation leadership—one that integrates scientific innovation, business acumen, and environmental commitment. This approach differs from traditional conservation organizations that may lack technological capabilities, as well as from technology companies that may lack conservation expertise or commitment.</p>
<p>By positioning conservation as a driving force for technological innovation rather than a constraint on it, Lamm potentially transforms how we think about the relationship between technology and environment. This perspective suggests that addressing our planet’s most significant environmental challenges requires not just protecting what remains, but actively developing new tools for restoration and resilience.</p>
<p>The successful birth of wolves carrying dire wolf traits represents a milestone in this vision—tangible proof that genetic technology can potentially help address biodiversity challenges while advancing scientific understanding. As these animals mature and the technologies developed for their creation find additional applications, Ben Lamm’s vision for transforming genetic technology into conservation solutions continues to unfold, offering new possibilities for preserving and potentially restoring the biodiversity that sustains our living world.</p>

In this blog, we explore the must-have cotton summer dresses, skirts, and tops that every woman should consider for an easy, elegant, and sustainable summer look.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Charm of Cotton</strong></h2>
<p>Cotton is a natural fiber that is soft, lightweight, and highly breathable. These qualities make cotton garments ideal for hot weather. The fabric absorbs sweat and allows air to circulate, ensuring you stay comfortable all day long. In addition to its comfort, cotton is durable and easy to care for, making it a practical choice for everyday wear. With a range of colors and patterns available, cotton pieces can fit any style—from casual outings to more polished occasions.</p>

Their airy fabric and relaxed fit provide both comfort and style. Whether you choose a flowy maxi dress or a flirty mini dress, cotton dresses are perfect for everything from beach trips to garden parties. The versatility of these dresses allows you to dress them up with accessories or keep it simple for a laid-back look. With prints ranging from subtle stripes to vibrant floral patterns, there is a cotton dress to match every mood and occasion.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Skirts and Tops: Versatile Essentials</strong></h2>
<p>Pairing a cotton skirt with a matching top can create a fresh and coordinated outfit. <a href="https://beyondbyvera.com/collections/skirts-shorts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cotton skirts</a> come in various styles, from A-line to pencil, offering a flattering fit for different body types. They are perfect for both casual days at the park and more formal summer events. Similarly, cotton tops, whether in the form of breezy blouses or casual tees, provide a light and airy feel that is ideal for the heat. Mix and match skirts and tops to create endless outfit combinations that are both chic and comfortable.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Style Tips for a Fresh Summer Look</strong></h2>
<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Layer Smartly:</strong> Even in summer, early mornings and evenings can be cool. A lightweight cotton cardigan or denim jacket can add both warmth and style.</li>
<li><strong>Accessorize:</strong> Pair your cotton pieces with simple accessories like a straw hat, layered necklaces, or a pair of sunglasses to enhance your overall look.</li>
<li><strong>Mix Prints and Solids:</strong> Don’t be afraid to play with patterns. Pair a printed cotton dress with solid-colored accessories for a balanced and eye-catching outfit.</li>
</ol>

<p>In a modern fast-paced planet, the new woman inquires about elegance, common sense, and sustainability in her bracelet selections. Artificial solitaire rings have arisen as a favorite alternative to usual diamond rings, offering a blend of advantages, affordability, and moral concerns. </p>
<p>Here’s why an <strong>artificial solitaire ring</strong> may be the perfect choice for the contemporary woman.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Affordability Without Compromise</strong></h2>
<p>One of the ultimate compelling reasons to select an affected solitaire ring is its cost influence. These rings offer the same cute appearance as basic diamonds but at a part of the price. This affordability allows women to appreciate the indulgence of a solitaire ring without the monetary strain.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Budget-Friendly: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Artificial stones like cubic zirconia or moissanite determine a similar sparkle to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diamond" target="_blank" rel="noopener">diamonds</a> but are significantly less expensive.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>More Options: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>With the money sustained, women can purchase multiple pieces or opt for the best stone breadth without breaking the bank.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ethical and Sustainable Choice</strong></h2>
<p>The modern woman is progressively conscious of the righteous implications of her purchases. An <a href="https://www.luxuria.diamonds/product/fake-solitaire-diamond-ring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>artificial solitaire ring</strong></a> offers an innocent alternative to mined diamonds, which often guide environmental depravity and unethical labor practices.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Conflict-Free: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Artificial stones are generated in controlled atmospheres, ensuring they are empty of the ethical concerns associated with blood diamonds.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Eco-Friendly: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The production of artificial crystals has a lower environmental impact distinguished from traditional excavating, making them a tenable choice.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Versatility and Style</strong></h2>
<p>An<strong> artificial solitaire ring</strong> is feasible in a wide range of styles and settings, allowing women to express their tastes and styles. Whether it’s a classic round cut or a trendy radiance setting, there is an artificial solitaire ring to suit each preference.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Customizable: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Many jewelers offer customization alternatives, allowing women to design a ring that perfectly matches their style.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Variety of Colors: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Unlike natural diamonds, artificial stones may be produced in different colors, contributing unique and embodied options.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Durability and Longevity</strong></h2>
<p>Contrary to prevalent misconceptions, artificial stones like moissanite are incredibly long-lasting, often rivaling or even passing diamonds in severity. This makes them a superior choice for everyday wear.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Long-Lasting Shine: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>These rocks maintain their brightness over time, ensuring that the ring remains as elegant as the day it was bought.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Embracing Modern Trends</strong></h2>
<p>The modern woman is not afraid to embrace new flows and technologies. An<strong> artificial solitaire ring</strong> is at the forefront of gem innovation, contributing cutting-edge designs and fabrics that reflect contemporary fashion.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Innovative Designs: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Jewelers are uniformly experimenting accompanying new settings and styles, providing new and exciting alternatives.</p>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Tech-Savvy Appeal: </strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The creation of pretended stones involves state-of-the-art technology, attractive to women who appreciate novelty and progress.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Conclusion</strong></h2>
<p>Choosing an <strong>artificial solitaire ring</strong> is a smart and fashionable decision for the modern woman. With their affordability, moral production, and beautiful appearance, these rings offer a perfect blend of common sense and elegance. Whether for an engagement, celebration or simply as a statement piece, an <strong>artificial solitaire ring</strong> is a testament to the modern woman’s principles and style. Embrace the future of jewelry with a choice that indicates both private and global knowledge.</p>
