PASADENA, Calif., June 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bellhold Legacy, a private sovereign archive of technical and territorial systems, has appointed Treeline Global as sole operator for the public release of its internal scientific portfolio. The mandate grants Treeline exclusive deployment rights across all domains under a secured 25-year agreement. Total valuation: $6.2 trillion USD.
Structured through legacy stewardship, the archive contains operational systems spanning energy dynamics, predictive stability, and high-order planning architectures. No equity positions or private investments were accepted. Treeline assumes rollout responsibilities across U.S. jurisdictions and allied sovereign regions, including Japan, Norway, and designated EU partners.
Confirmed systems entering first-phase execution include:
- The Resonance Model
Formally designated Vertolomaic Cosmographia, the model serves as a structural successor to the Ptolemaic system. It eliminates fixed celestial centers and introduces Λ₀, a non-spatial organizing constant governing systemic regularity and predictive behavior.
- BRAT Principle
A precision formulation of energy behavior in engineered environments, enabling controlled transfer efficiencies in structured applications. Developed in-house after a multi-century literary review and synthesis.
- Terranis, Ignis, Voltis, GravitasCore, Cognis, Maris
Six integrated platforms now in sovereign simulation across primary sectors.
- The Key Series
Five technical position papers releasing Fall 2026: Collapse Index, Frequency Law, Timeline Engineering, Coherence Governance, and The Aesthetic Equation.
- Appointment of Chief of Staff
Connor McGaughran now directs full global coordination under Bellhold and Treeline’s joint operational structure. His role spans cross-division oversight, live rollout synchronization, and institutional validation sequencing—marking one of the most complex scientific activations on record.
- Fellowship Award to Raegan Wright
Selected for her discernment, integrity, and command of visual and spatial design, Wright was appointed as the sole Fellow of Bellhold Ltd. She will oversee the commercial interface for heritage land portfolios and luxury infrastructure deployments, launching with a $240 million project suite under her executive direction.
- Sealed Systems
Fourteen additional technologies remain classified under Bellhold’s sovereign discretion clause: We Politely Decline to Engage.
The mandate is positioned to be the most expansive scientific rollout since Newtonian infrastructure first formalized planetary modeling. Stewardship remains with Treeline’s co-founders Dr. M. Geiger and Dr. S. Fehnel. Analysts have begun placing the activation within the top three private science-led frameworks of the century—marking a structural transition not seen since ARPANET or GPS grid standardization.

Findings Highlight Potential for Novel Approach to Insulin Delivery in Pediatric Population
CHICAGO, June 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Today, a new study demonstrates inhaled insulin as a safe and effective replacement for rapid-acting meal insulin in children with type 1 diabetes. Results from the INHALE-1 study were presented today as a symposium at the 85th Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association® (ADA) in Chicago.
In the U.S., 304,000 children and adolescents have type 1 diabetes and depend on ongoing insulin treatment to regulate their blood glucose levels. Although most manage their condition through daily injections or insulin pumps, there is a growing demand for next-generation, tailored treatment approaches.
INHALE-1 evaluated the safety and efficacy of an inhaled insulin regimen (Afrezza) as a replacement for rapid-acting meal insulin in children with type 1 diabetes. The study included 230 patients aged 4–17, using basal injected insulin and randomized to either inhaled insulin or rapid-acting analogue for meals. The primary endpoint was the change in A1C at 26 weeks.
The findings indicate that inhaled insulin is safe and effective in children with type 1 diabetes, demonstrating glycemic control comparable to injected rapid-acting insulin. Inhaled insulin was also associated with less weight gain and slightly higher patient and parent preference scores.
“Inhaled insulin is the fastest acting insulin available and is a valuable alternative to injected analogue insulin. Afrezza should be available as an option to all children and adults with type 1 diabetes,” said Michael J. Haller, MD, MS-CI, professor and chief of pediatric endocrinology, University of Florida, and lead author of the study. “These results will help clinicians better tailor treatment plans, ultimately improving patient satisfaction and overall outcomes.”
Building on the findings of the inhaled insulin study, they are looking ahead to potential FDA approval and additional studies to evaluate inhaled insulin at diagnosis and in automated insulin delivery systems.
Research presentation details:
Dr. Haller will present the findings of, Discovery to Treatment—Latest Updates on Inhaled Insulin Treatment, at the following symposium:
- Symposium: Future Ready—Breakthroughs in Pediatric Type 1 Diabetes Care
- Presented on Sunday, June 22 from 1:30–3:00 p.m. CT

LOWELL, Mass., June 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In recognition of National HVAC Tech Day, Al Fagundes, founder and owner of A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating Inc., is honoring the skilled professionals who keep homes and businesses comfortable year-round — while looking ahead to the future of the trades through a homegrown solution: a Student Co-Op Program built to inspire and develop tomorrow’s HVAC technicians.
Since 2012, Fagundes has partnered with Massachusetts’ vocational technical high schools to participate in their official Student Co-Op Program. For A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating, the partnership is more than just an internship pipeline — it’s a mission-driven investment in the future of the trades and the local community.
“As a former Co-Op student myself, I know how life-changing this kind of opportunity can be,” says Fagundes, who graduated from Greater Lowell Technical High School in the late ’90s. “Now I have the chance to return the favor and make the experience even more structured, supportive, and impactful for students coming up in the trades today.”
The program welcomes qualified juniors and seniors who meet their school’s academic and attendance benchmarks. Fagundes looks beyond grades when selecting candidates, prioritizing students who demonstrate responsibility, initiative, and involvement beyond the classroom. Participants rotate between school and fieldwork, spending several months alongside experienced technicians.
These students don’t just shadow — they contribute. From installing water heaters and ductwork to learning how to communicate with clients on job sites, participants get hands-on experience that integrates both technical and soft skills. “We treat our Co-Op students like future professionals,” Fagundes explains. “They’re gaining real-world exposure and mentorship that sets them up for long-term success.”
The purpose of the program is to show students there’s more than one path to a stable and rewarding future. “A career in the trades can offer immediate opportunities, strong earning potential, and no college debt,” says Fagundes. “Whether a student is already committed to this path or just exploring, the Co-Op gives them the space to learn, grow, and make an informed decision about their future.”
As the skilled labor shortage continues to impact industries across the country, Fagundes believes it’s more important than ever to raise awareness — not just of the career potential in HVAC, plumbing, and heating, but of the responsibility employers have to nurture it.
“National HVAC Tech Day is a time to recognize the vital role our technicians play — but it’s also a reminder to prepare for who comes next,” Fagundes says. “If we want great talent in the future, we need to be willing to invest in them today.”
About A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating Inc.
Founded by Al Fagundes, A. Fagundes Plumbing & Heating Inc. has been proudly serving the Greater Lowell area for over two decades.

CINCINNATI, June 20, 2025 /3BL/ – Fifth Third (NASDAQ: FITB) and Nashville leaders announced today that North Nashville will join the Fifth Third Neighborhood Program, bringing an influx of $20 million over three years to help revitalize the community.
“Fifth Third could not be more excited to bring our innovative Neighborhood Program to North Nashville,” said Kala Gibson, chief corporate responsibility officer for Fifth Third. “We piloted our place-based economic development program back in 2019 and rolled it out in nine neighborhoods across our footprint in 2021. We have invested nearly $255 million since that time and witnessed generational, transformative change. We’re thrilled about the opportunity to apply what we’ve learned and help North Nashville realize similar outcomes and impact.”
In partnership with Affordable Housing Resources, Inc., Pathway Lending and United Way of Greater Nashville, Fifth Third and lead technical assistance partner Enterprise Community Partners will help community members implement their economic mobility roadmap that will help advance economic mobility and financial inclusion for the residents and businesses of North Nashville.
To support this work, Fifth Third is pledging a $20 million investment in traditional financial and philanthropic capital in North Nashville over the next three years, including $1 million each to Affordable Housing Resources and the United Way from the Fifth Third Foundation.
“As a long-time resident of North Nashville I welcome this investment in our neighborhoods,” said Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell. “We’ve been trying to shift how we invest in North Nashville. Recently, we’ve taken a special budgeting process and directed hundreds of thousands of dollars into four North Nashville Council districts. Then, we put $1 million directly into a multi-year effort anchored at Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center focused on lowering blood pressure. We’ve started to lower electric bills through a new insulation partnership with NES. And at least $7 million in federal funding to help North Nashville continue to recover from the long-term impacts of the 2020 tornado.
“Now we will amplify those investments with a $20 million commitment from Fifth Third that will result in community development through housing preservation, small business assistance, and vacant lot activation. Community members will see the results starting later this year,” Mayor O’Connell said.
Nashville’s economic mobility roadmap includes several key focus areas: growing housing and homeownership, such as by developing and preserving affordable housing; investing in small businesses and community wealth-building, such as by expanding access to capital and business planning; investing in people-based programs and services, such as by supporting education-to-career pathways; and investing in infrastructure and environmental priorities, such as by addressing tornado damage and highway impacts.
“I am thrilled that North Nashville has been selected for Fifth Third’s Neighborhood Program,” said David Briggs, Tennessee region president for Fifth Third Bank. “The North Nashville community embodies both the rich history of this city and the promise and challenges of its future. This investment of financial and intellectual capital illustrates Fifth Third’s commitment to ensuring that all the members of the North Nashville community can share in its growth and truly make their lives a Fifth Third Better.”
Fifth Third prioritizes broadening financial access and neighborhood revitalization through its Neighborhood Program, a community development initiative launched in 2021 which creates and implements innovative place-based strategies to effect positive change in historically disinvested neighborhoods across the Bank’s 11-state consumer bank footprint.
The program is pioneering a new place-based approach to community development by partnering with a lead partner organization, Enterprise Community Partners, and local organizations to build ecosystems that drive real change through both financial and social investments. This collective ecosystem approach is focused on identifying solutions to key challenges in partnership with the community, with the goal of creating lasting, transformative change.
The place-based concept was piloted in 2019 in Detroit’s Gratiot & Seven Mile neighborhood. Two years later, the program expanded into the Neighborhood Program, adding nine additional neighborhoods in seven states.
Through the Neighborhood Program, Fifth Third has directly invested nearly $255 million across the nine neighborhoods. That investment helped catalyze over $200 million in additional investment. The result: $455 million in total Fifth Third-driven investments and tangible community impact, including:
- 584 new rental homes developed to increase the supply of affordable rental housing;
- 437 existing homes preserved;
- 1,932 homeowners assisted through purchase assistance, classes, repairs, and other programs;
- 926 small businesses supported through technical assistance and other programs;
- 70 key positions filled to help community organizations build capacity;
- $25 million in philanthropic investment by Fifth Third.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 20, 2025 /3BL/ – Inogen Alliance is proud to announce recent awards and short-listed award entries from multiple Associate companies, including Antea Group USA, Antea Group Belgium, Antea Group France, Antea Group Netherlands, CDG Environmental Costa Rica, and Tonkin + Taylor New Zealand. The awards included the Global Innovation Awards with Antea Group, as well as the Environment Analyst Sustainability Delivery Awards, where CDG Environmental was shortlisted, and Tonkin + Taylor won Transportation Project of the Year for the second consecutive year.
Environment Analyst Sustainability Delivery Awards
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, in collaboration with Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, and Te Ara Tupua Alliance; Tonkin + Taylor, Downer NZ, HEB Construction, is thrilled to announce that the Te Ara Tupua Project has been awarded the Transportation Project of the Year at the Environment Analyst Sustainability Delivery Awards.
Te Ara Tupua is a shared walking and cycling path that will provide a vital connection between Wellington and Petone, while strengthening the resilience of a nationally significant transport corridor.
In an earthquake prone city and along a windswept coastline, the project is designed to withstand the environmental, social, and economic challenges inherent to the region. It also enhances the resilience of the adjacent Hutt Valley rail line and State Highway 2, two critical components of the national transport network.
At the heart of Te Ara Tupua is a unique partnership model that has been in place since the project’s inception. Waka Kotahi, New Zealand Transport Agency, has worked in close collaboration with iwi Taranaki Whānui ki Te Upoko o Te Ika and Ngāti Toa Rangatira, to develop a shared approach that reflects the intergenerational view of Māori. This relationship is formalised through the Project Steering Group, where iwi representatives are involved in all aspects of the project, including procurement, design, construction, monitoring and compliance.
Ngā Ūranga ki Pito-One, the middle section of Te Ara Tupua, includes a 4.5-kilometre shared path constructed along reclaimed coastline. The design incorporates seawalls, revetments, culvert extensions, and ūranga – gathering and viewing points that offer space for rest, reflection, and reconnection with the habour environment. The project is now approximately 60 percent complete and is scheduled for completion in 2026.
From the outset, the project team developed a Project Sustainability Policy to embed environmental, social, and cultural sustainability into every stage of the project’s lifecycle. Te Ara Tupua is using the Infrastructure Sustainability Council (ISC) rating scheme to measure its performance across 25 categories, exceeding standard practice in several key areas.
The completed path is projected to increase walking and cycling by approximately 1,700 journeys per day. The shift toward active transport modes will continue to contribute to emission reduction, support public health outcomes, and ease pressure on existing transport networks.
Read more about the project with Tonkin + Taylor here.
Short-listed for the Nature Positive Award was Associate CDG Environmental Costa Rica, with Zapotal Golf & Beach Club.
The Zapotal Golf & Beach Club project stands as a beacon of nature-positive development, delivering measurable benefits across multiple domains. Its wildlife protection efforts have boosted biodiversity, establishing a baseline to analyze behavioral trends of key species in the area. Landscape conservation has revitalized hundreds of hectares of native vegetation, while water management innovations aim to minimize pressure on the local aquifer. The use of RESIN8 technology on paved surfaces exemplifies sustainable infrastructure, cutting emissions and waste, and the archaeological program preserves the region’s rich cultural heritage. Together, these initiatives reflect a commitment to enhancing ecosystems, conserving resources, and honoring history.
