Water War presents a fictional account set in 1920s California, inspired by the history of water acquisition by Los Angeles in the Owens Valley.

New York City, New York, United States, 4th Mar 2026 – Author James R Morris announces the release of his novel, Water War: The Fight For California Water In The 1920s. The book is a work of Historical Fiction and is available on Amazon in multiple formats.

About the Book Theme

Water War: The Fight For California Water In The 1920s is a Historical Fiction novel set in California during the 1920s. The story is based on real historical events connected to the acquisition of water by Los Angeles from the Owens Valley.

The novel follows a ranching family living in the Owens Valley during a period of major change. At that time, Los Angeles was increasing the amount of water it was taking from the Owens Valley. The book presents this period of California history through the daily lives and experiences of local residents.

The narrative provides a fictional account inspired by documented events. It presents the social and economic conditions of the time and highlights how infrastructure projects affected rural communities. As a work of Historical Fiction, the novel combines historical background with imagined characters and personal stories.

This publication contributes to the limited number of novels written about the Owens Valley water developments of the early twentieth century. While several nonfiction works have examined the subject, this book approaches the topic through a fictional format.

Genre and Category

 
The book is classified as Historical Fiction. It explores a significant period in California history and presents it in narrative form. Readers interested in Historical Fiction that is rooted in documented events will find this work relevant.

Author Background

James R Morris was born and raised in Owens Valley, California. His family has lived in the region for several generations. During his childhood, he lived in verious Owens Valley communities, including Olancha, Lone Pine, Bishop, and Independence.

He also spent summers in the mountains with local ranching families. During those years, he heard firsthand accounts from people who had knowledge of the historical events that later became part of this novel’s background.

Morris later attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he earned a Bachelor of Science degree, a Master of Business Administration, and a PhD in finance. He taught finance at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Houston, and the University of Colorado Denver. He retired as Professor Emeritus.

Although his professional background is in finance, he has maintained a long-standing interest in history, particularly the history of California. Water War: The Fight For California Water In The 1920s reflects that interest and his personal connection to the Owens Valley region.

He currently lives in Denver, Colorado.

Centar Klima Prepares Homes and Businesses for Summer 2026 with Reliable Air Conditioning Solutions

Published

on

Zagreb-based air conditioning company offers sales, expert guidance, installation, maintenance, and servicing for residential and commercial customers.

Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia (Hrvatska), 19th Jun 2026 – As summer temperatures continue to rise, Centar Klima is preparing homeowners, apartment owners, offices, and businesses across Croatia with a wide selection of air conditioning solutions for the 2026 cooling season.

Centar Klima offers air conditioning units from well-known global brands, including Bosch, Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi Electric, Samsung, Toshiba, and Vivax. With a range of models, capacities, and price points available, customers can find a suitable system based on the size of their space, cooling and heating requirements, energy efficiency expectations, and budget.

In addition to selling air conditioning units, Centar Klima provides professional guidance, installation, maintenance, repair, and servicing. The company’s goal is to make the entire process easier for customers, from choosing the right unit to ensuring proper installation and long-term performance.

Choosing the Right Air Conditioner Can Improve Comfort and Reduce Energy Use

Selecting an air conditioning unit should not be based on price alone. The size of the room, insulation quality, layout, sun exposure, number of occupants, and intended use all play an important role in determining the most suitable system.

An undersized air conditioner may need to operate continuously to reach the desired temperature, while an oversized unit may increase the initial investment and reduce comfort due to frequent cycling.

“Customers often contact us because they are unsure which air conditioning unit is the right choice for their home, apartment, or office. Our goal is to recommend a solution that provides reliable cooling, efficient energy use, quiet operation, and long-term value,” said Ivan at Centar Klima.

Modern inverter air conditioners automatically adjust compressor operation according to the needs of the room. This allows them to maintain a more stable temperature, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, and deliver more comfortable performance compared to older, conventional systems.

Many modern units are also suitable for more than just cooling. Thanks to heating functionality, air conditioners can be used during transitional seasons and, in some spaces, as an additional heating source during colder months.

Air Conditioning Solutions for Different Types of Spaces

Centar Klima offers air conditioning systems suitable for bedrooms, children’s rooms, apartments, home offices, living rooms, rental properties, and larger commercial spaces.

Customers looking for a practical and cost-effective solution can choose from reliable entry-level inverter models, while more advanced units may include features such as Wi-Fi control, improved filtration, quiet operation, advanced airflow control, and higher energy efficiency.

When choosing an air conditioner, customers should consider:

  • The recommended room size
  • Cooling and heating capacity
  • Energy efficiency rating
  • Indoor unit noise level
  • Wi-Fi control options
  • Warranty terms
  • Installation requirements
  • Maintenance and servicing availability

Professional advice before purchase helps reduce the risk of choosing a unit that is not properly matched to the space or the customer’s expectations.

Regular Maintenance Supports Better Performance and Cleaner Air

Along with proper selection and professional installation, regular maintenance is essential for keeping an air conditioning system efficient, hygienic, and reliable.

Over time, dust and other particles can accumulate on filters, the evaporator, and other internal components. A poorly maintained unit may cool less effectively, consume more energy, produce unpleasant odors, or affect indoor air quality.

A standard service usually includes inspection of the unit’s operation, cleaning of the indoor and outdoor units, checking the condensate drain, and reviewing key system performance parameters.

Centar Klima recommends servicing air conditioners at least once per year, ideally before the start of the main cooling season. In spaces where air conditioners are used daily, such as offices, apartments, rental properties, and hospitality facilities, more frequent maintenance may be recommended.

Early Preparation Before Peak Summer Demand

During the hottest weeks of summer, demand for air conditioning units, installation, and servicing can increase significantly. For this reason, Centar Klima encourages customers to plan their purchase, installation, or annual maintenance before the first major heatwave.

Early preparation gives customers more time to compare models, receive expert advice, schedule installation, and make a confident decision without the pressure of peak-season demand.

Customers can view available air conditioning units and learn more about Centar Klima’s services at centarklima.com. For advice, installation, repairs, or servicing, customers can contact the Centar Klima team directly.

About Centar Klima

Centar Klima is a Zagreb-based air conditioning company specializing in the sale, installation, repair, maintenance, and servicing of air conditioning units. Operating as part of Smart Switch d.o.o., the company has more than ten years of experience helping residential and commercial customers choose and maintain reliable climate control solutions.

Centar Klima offers air conditioning units from leading global manufacturers and provides professional support for different types of homes, apartments, offices, and business spaces.

Stratosphere, Pudgy Penguins and Streamex Host Founders Table VIP Dinner During ETHConf 2026 and NYC Tech Week

Published

on

New York, United States, June 18th, 2026, Chainwire

Stratosphere, Pudgy Penguins and Streamex hosted a private Founders Table VIP Dinner in New York City during ETHConf 2026 and NYC Tech Week, bringing together leaders across digital assets, tech, AI, traditional finance and institutional capital.

The invite-only dinner took place on June 9th and gathered a curated room of founders, operators, funds, C-level executives and institutional leaders for an intimate evening of dinner and conversation.

Guests in attendance included leaders from Citi, BitMine, BitGo, Mirae Asset Securities USA, Experian, Pyth Network, Space and Time, MegaETH, B3, Stable, Antler, Delphi Digital, Fun, Linera, Vanta Trading, Streamex, PolyData, Horizen Labs, World Foundation, Zipcode, OpenLedger, Onyx, Definitive, Notalone Ventures and more.

The Founders Table format is intentionally simple: a selected guest list, a private room and no stage agenda. The goal is to bring the right people together in a setting where conversations can happen naturally.

The dinner was hosted by Stratosphere with Pudgy Penguins and Streamex. Stratosphere brought its network across founders, operators, investors and institutional teams. Pudgy Penguins added one of the strongest consumer brands and communities in digital assets. Streamex brought the institutional and real-world asset side of the conversation, with its focus on tokenized gold and commodity markets.

The Stratosphere team and its CEO, Hassan Shaikh, have continued to build Founders Table into a private dinner series around major industry conferences. After previous editions during Digital Asset Summit and Consensus, the New York dinner continued the same idea: high-quality rooms, selected attendance and conversations that are hard to recreate on a conference floor.For Stratosphere, the dinner reinforces the company’s position as an ecosystem partner for leading brands across tech, finance and digital assets. Established projects work with Stratosphere to deepen cultural relevance, strengthen market narratives and connect with founders, investors, institutions and operators across the industry.

“I’m optimistic about the next phase of digital assets, especially around the tokenization of commodities,” said Hassan Shaikh, CEO of Stratosphere. “These dinners give us a way to bring funds, institutions, and founders into the same room to talk about where the market is heading.”

The Founders Table series is expected to continue around major global conferences throughout the year, with future editions focused on bringing together founders, capital, institutions and leading brands in private, relationship-driven rooms.

For those interested in attending or getting involved in future Founders Table editions, reach out to the Stratosphere team.

First Block, Onpharma Company, and Crito Capital Announce First Solana Sto for U.S. Medical Device Business

Published

on

London, United Kingdom, June 17th, 2026, Chainwire

Landmark transaction brings real operating company equity to Solana-based tokenised capital formation  

First Block deploys next-generation digital securities architecture for real- world operating business 

Onpharma’s medical device technology for dentistry brings recurring revenue, high gross margins and a significant market opportunity to a tokenised capital raise 

This offering is available for investment at sto.onpharma.com  

First Block, Inc., a digital securities and tokenisation infrastructure company, together with Onpharma Company (Delaware) and UK-based Crito Capital LLP, today announce the launch of what is believed to be the first Solana-based Security Token Offering (“STO”) for an established U.S. operating business, a structural turning point in the modernisation of global private markets. 

The Tokenisation Framework 

The STO deploys Solana blockchain infrastructure combining atomic settlement technology, programmable ownership architecture, and digital distribution capabilities, structured within existing U.S. securities law. Where traditional private markets have struggled with fragmented, multi-intermediary processes, the tokenised framework enables issuance, settlement, and cross-border distribution to qualified investors quickly, transparently, and at low cost. Secondary transactions occur on-chain across compatible wallets subject to KYC controls, delivering near-instantaneous settlement, secondary trading liquidity, and international accessibility under Regulation S and other applicable frameworks. 

The STO Structure 

A Security Token Offering represents and transfers ownership rights in a company’s common stock via blockchain-based digital tokens rather than traditional share registers. The Onpharma STO is structured as a Regulation S offshore issuance to non-U.S. investors, combining the legal certainty of an exempt securities offering with the operational efficiency of Solana infrastructure, settling and distributing at speed and cost traditional private markets cannot match. 

Onpharma: The Investment Case 

Onpharma occupies a distinctive position in global dental technology. Its Onset EZ local anaesthetic buffering product is already used to buffer millions of dental injections annually, addressing the slow, uncomfortable, and unreliable performance of dental local anaesthetic that has remained largely unsolved for decades. The Onset EZ Pen requires no assembly or specialist training, integrating directly into existing workflows for an improved patient experience. 

Onpharma sits at a post-validation, pre-scale inflection point: infrastructure, supply chain, regulatory compliance, and initial commercialisation are complete, while the growth phase is beginning. Septodont’s February 2025 market entry has validated anaesthetic buffering as an emerging standard of care, reducing category risk and increasing awareness. The disposable Onset EZ Pen provides operational leverage through scalable direct marketing, customer conversion, and repeat consumable revenue. The global dental anaesthesia buffering market is valued at $2bn and projected to reach $2.65bn by 2030. Capital raised will extend field sales and expand direct selling via the company’s recently deployed AI marketing tools. 

The Infrastructure 

First Block’s digital securities architecture underpins the transaction from issuance and compliance through to Solana-based settlement and distribution, compressing conventional private placement infrastructure, fragmented custodial arrangements, manual processing, multi-intermediary chains, into a single programmable, blockchain-enabled system built for the scale, speed, and wallet-level accessibility international investors increasingly require. Crito Capital LLP, an FCA-authorised investment banking and advisory platform focused on institutional capital formation, is providing structuring and advisory for the offering. 

“This is larger than a traditional financing,” said Daniel P. Cannon, CEO of First Block. “We believe this transaction represents the beginning of the convergence between capital markets and Solana-based securities infrastructure. The STO itself is the story, but it starts with a real operating company, a real product, and exceptional revenue growth potential.” 

“Onpharma has spent years building a real operating business around a simple clinical objective: making local anaesthetic better for dentists and patients,” said Matt Stepovich, Onpharma’s CEO. “This offering allows us to present a validated, revenue-generating medical device platform to a wider base of qualified international investors via a structure that reflects how capital markets are evolving. Combining Onpharma’s real-world commercial traction with First Block’s Solana-based securities infrastructure is an important step in making growth capital formation more efficient, accessible and transparent.”
