Even now, at 86 years old, Richard lives in Manhattan, full of energy and grateful for every new day. He continues to give back to others, share his experiences and support causes that matter to him. His passion for life is clear in every chapter of Out & About. Readers will feel like they are sitting across from him, listening to a wise and kind friend tell the story of his life, his challenges, his victories and the lessons he’s learned along the way.

The book also highlights how the places we live help shape who we become. From the quiet, traditional world of Glendale to the vibrant, ever-changing culture of Manhattan, Richard shows how location, community and time play big roles in our development. Out & About offers a unique view of American life across decades of change, told through one man’s powerful story of growth and perseverance.

This is the kind of memoir that stays with you. It’s written in a style that is warm, simple and welcoming, perfect for both new readers and experienced book lovers.

Press Release

Trescon’s CARE series launches in Riyadh, powering Saudi Arabia’s $266 billion vision for a sustainable future

Published

1 hour ago

on

July 7, 2025

By

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 7th July 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In response to Saudi Arabia’s ambitious clean energy and sustainability vision and the global urgency for climate solutions, Trescon proudly unveils the KSA edition of CARE – the Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo, debuting in Riyadh on 8–9 December 2025. As a cornerstone of the global CARE series — alongside editions in India and Dubai — the KSA edition is dedicated to advancing climate action, clean energy adoption, and sustainable finance through meaningful public-private collaboration. With 10,000+ attendees, 950 investors, 225 sponsors, and 200+ global speakers expected across the series, CARE is built for action, driving transformative dialogue, deal-making, and cross-border partnerships across more than 100 countries. 

The series opened with the CARE Dialogues on 24 June 2025 – an exclusive, invite-only session, held in Dubai under the theme “Green Finance and Beyond: Driving ESG Across Sectors.” Powered by Emtribe, the event convened senior leaders from finance, policy, and technology to explore practical strategies for embedding ESG into core business models.  

 “As a partner of CARE, we’re proud to back a platform that focuses on what really matters — getting the right people in the room and driving honest, outcome-focused conversations,” said Mohammed Saleem, Founder of Emtribe. He continued, “There’s a lot of talk in this space. CARE stands out by pushing for action that’s practical, collaborative, and needed.” 

As the first official prelude to CARE, the session set the tone for cross-sector collaboration and is helping shape a summit agenda grounded in real-world priorities and regional relevance. 

Saudi Arabia is driving a transformative energy shift. Under Vision 2030, the Kingdom has committed over $266 billion to renewable energy and sustainable development, aiming for 50% renewable electricity by 2030 (Reuters). From green hydrogen initiatives to expansive solar parks and giga-projects like NEOM, these efforts are redefining the region’s energy and economic future. CARE KSA emerges as a vital platform to amplify this progress, uniting key public and private sector players, accelerating project momentum, and showcasing global innovations aligned with Saudi Arabia’s sustainability ambitions.  

Speaking about the series, Naveen Bharadwaj, Group CEO of Trescon, said: “CARE KSA will bring together global innovators and Saudi stakeholders to accelerate tangible outcomes in renewables, climate tech, and green finance. Our goal is to help turn the Kingdom’s bold vision into implemented, bankable projects.” 

Each CARE edition features keynotes, panel discussions, policy roundtables and workshops, dialogues, and a dynamic exhibition floor showcasing next-gen solutions in solar, wind, green hydrogen, water, climate finance, and carbon markets. CARE KSA will also host the ClimateTech World Cup, a global pitch competition spotlighting early-stage innovations in climate adaptation, energy storage, carbon capture, and circular economy. Finalists will pitch live to international investors and corporates, accelerating the deployment of scalable, high-impact solutions. 

CARE is guided by the Global CARE Alliance, a high-level advisory board featuring sustainability leaders including: 

  • Dr. Waleed Alkalash, Former Deputy Minister for Labor Policies / CEO Ministry of Labour / Business Consulting & Services, KSA 
  • Adnan Bin Abdulrahman Alalyani, Director General Environmental Technologies, National Center of Environmental Compliance, KSA 
  • Nizar Kammourie, CEO SAWACO Water & Board Member – ESG Committee at The American Chamber of Commerce Saudi Arabia (Amcham), KSA 
  • Julie Newman, Director of Sustainability, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA 
  • Erik Solheim, Former Minister of Environment, & Former Under Secretary General, UNEP, Norway 
  • Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Former Minister of Environment UAE, and others 

Their combined experience grounds CARE in global best practice and helps shape meaningful outcomes for each host region. 

As Saudi Arabia doubles down on its net-zero commitment and climate financing mechanisms, CARE KSA arrives at a pivotal moment — offering a focused platform to turn vision into execution, capital into projects, and ideas into large-scale impact.

Press Release

Landlord Launches First Fully On-Chain Competitive Season

Published

2 hours ago

on

July 7, 2025

By

7 July 2025 – Landlord, the first fully on-chain business strategy game built on opBNB, is proud to announce the official launch of Season One, marking a major milestone in the evolution of on-chain gaming.

Inspired by the classic Monopoly-style gameplay and supercharged with blockchain technology, Landlord redefines what it means to play, earn, and own in the Web3 era. With every move, trade, and transaction executed directly on-chain, players experience unprecedented transparency, security, and true digital ownership — no servers, no compromises.

What’s New in Season One:

  • Competitive Leaderboards: Players will compete in a dynamic, season-based environment. Rankings are transparent, on-chain, and updated in real time.
  • New Assets: Unlock powerful cards, functional avatars, and themed lands to boost your in-game advantage.
  • Player-to-Player Economy: Trade land, rent space, and build your empire in an open and decentralized market.
  • Seasonal Structure for Sustainability: A continuous season system ensures long-term value for both casual and competitive players, while enabling fresh economic cycles.

 Why We Chose to Build Landlord as a Fully On-Chain Game

From the beginning, our mission was clear: to build a game that is fair, transparent, unstoppable — and truly belongs to its players. The only way to realize that vision was to go fully on-chain.

Unlike traditional Web2 games or even hybrid Web3 games (where only assets like NFTs or currencies are stored on-chain), a fully on-chain game puts the entire gameplay logic — movement, dice rolls, rent calculations, trades, economic rules — directly onto the blockchain.

Why this matters:

  • Transparency & Fairness: Players can verify every rule and action, eliminating hidden algorithms or manipulation.
  • Trustless by Design: There’s no central authority controlling game outcomes — only code and consensus.
  • True Digital Ownership: Lands, avatars, and cards are not just assets — they are on-chain entities under full player control.
  • Composable and Permissionless: Third-party developers can build on top of Landlord’s open logic, expanding the ecosystem naturally.
  • Immutable and Autonomous: Once deployed, the game cannot be changed or shut down by a central server.

For a competitive strategy game where fairness and value matter, this was the only path forward. Landlord isn’t just a game you play — it’s a system you participate in, a world you help shape.

“Landlord Season One represents a major step forward for fully on-chain games,” said the Landlord team. “We’re proving that on-chain doesn’t have to mean boring — it can be fun, strategic, fast, and rewarding. This season, players aren’t just playing a game — they’re shaping an economy.”

Whether you’re a GameFi veteran, a Web3 explorer, or a board game nostalgic, Landlord offers a new way to play and earn — with full ownership, full transparency, and zero limits.
