Details: https://x.gd/L2rJu

Despite being located in the heart of Tokyo, just 20 minutes away from Tokyo Station, every guest room at this waterfront hotel features a private balcony where guests can enjoy the breeze coming in from Tokyo Bay while enjoying a stunning view of the water. The hotel began renovations in February 2026, under the concept of “TOKYO STILLNESS: Unwind in the Heart of the City,” aiming to create an experience where guests can relax and recharge while observing the gradual change of the sky and sea in a serene location just outside the hustle and bustle of the city.

In order to achieve this goal of “Tokyo Stillness,” this renovation focuses not only on the specifications of the room, such as size and amenities, but also on the experiential value of the time spent inside, striving to create the feeling of a “private mansion in Tokyo” where the elegance of the room harmonizes with the sweeping view of Tokyo Bay. The hotel aims for a new type of accommodation where guests not only receive hospitality, but are also free to spend their time as they please.

Renovation Examples

Presidential Terrace Bath Suite (200 m2)

Presidential Terrace Bath Suite, Living Room, Open Terrace Jetted Bath, Bathroom, and Bedroom 

The hotel’s only Presidential Suite offers panoramic views of Tokyo Bay. Spanning 200 m², the suite features a living room, dining room, and an open terrace with an outdoor jetted bath, and is being renovated to offer guests an even more private stay.

Living and Dining: Welcome guests and relax as one would in a mansion

The living room features a large window with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay and a large, spacious L-shaped sofa where guests can gather and unwind. Guests can unwind and enjoy the ever-changing view of the bay.

In addition, the room features a private kitchen, bar counter, and a large dining table that can seat up to 10 guests, creating a space that feels like a second home. Private dining experiences with the hotel’s chefs can also be arranged for dinners and gatherings.

Bedroom and Terrace: Surrounded by Sea Breezes and Breathtaking Views, with an Unparalleled Sense of Openness

The bedroom and outdoor terrace have been connected in a way that facilitates smooth movement between the indoor and outdoor spaces of the room. Sweeping views of Tokyo Bay can be enjoyed to the heart’s content while lying in bed, and guests can enjoy a comfortable sea breeze by simply opening the door.

Additionally, there is a chaise lounge sofa next to the bed where guests can relax and stretch their legs. A jetted bath has been added to the outdoor terrace, creating a space where guests can unwind mentally and physically and enjoy an open but private stay.

Bathroom: An exquisite private spa

The bathroom has been extensively renovated to enhance both aesthetics and functionality. It features elegant marble finishes and a spacious jetted bathtub for two. Furthermore, it features a spacious vanity counter and glass shower booth, transforming the space into a private spa. Guests can also call therapists from the hotel spa for in-room treatment.

Deluxe Terrace Bath Suite (80 m2)

Nova Publishers Announces Four Titles Published Under Its Own ISBN Imprint

Virginia-based Nova Publishers announces four titles released under its own ISBN imprint between December 2025 and March 2026: a memoir, a self-help guide, a criminal justice textbook and a hairstyling guide. Each author keeps their rights and 100% of retailer royalties.

Together for 50 Years, Legally Strangers: NYC Estate Attorney Lists Common Estate Plan Gaps

From unmarried partners to the family pet, the Law Offices of Vlad Portnoy says the biggest gaps are the ones people never think to ask about

New York, United States, 27th Oct 2026 – A couple can live together for 50 years in New York and the surviving partner can still inherit nothing. It is one of several gaps the Law Offices of Vlad Portnoy, a Manhattan estate planning, probate and elder law firm, sees regularly, and one that families often discover only after a death.

Together for 50 Years, Legally Strangers: NYC Estate Attorney Lists Common Estate Plan Gaps

The firm identified five things New Yorkers most often leave out of their plans:

1. An unmarried partner. New York does not recognize common-law marriage, so a long-term partner is not a legal spouse. The firm has handled a case involving a couple together for 50 years. “They’re always shocked,” says attorney Vlad Portnoy. Without a will naming the partner, the law does not treat them as family.

2. The family pet. Many owners assume a will takes care of their pet, but probate in New York can take months, and a pet needs food and shelter the same day. Without a plan, no one may even know there is an animal in the apartment. The firm uses pet trust provisions, along with naming someone to be notified, so the animal is looked after right away.

3. Digital assets, including crypto. Digital assets should be addressed in a will, but never with account names or passwords. A will is private only until death. According to the New York State court system, “Once the Will is admitted to probate or a small estate, it becomes a public document that anyone can see and read.”

4. Beneficiaries that are out of date. Beneficiaries named in a will, and on accounts and policies that pass outside it, should be reviewed at least once a year and after any major life change. The consequences of skipping this can be serious and, as the firm puts it, keep “backfiring long after” the person has died.

5. Do-it-yourself documents. “DIY is rarely a good thing in anything,” says Portnoy. A trust can affect taxes, asset protection and public benefits such as SSI and Medicaid, and a document can fail over a missing formality, as small as one overlooked requirement. The firm has seen wills, trusts and powers of attorney fail this way. In Medicaid planning, Portnoy says, a poorly done DIY plan can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

New Yorkers who want to check their plan can find more information at our estate planning and Medicaid planning pages.

About the Law Offices of Vlad Portnoy, P.C.
The firm is an estate planning, probate and elder law practice with offices in Manhattan, New York, and Hackensack, New Jersey, serving families across all five New York boroughs and Bergen County. Services are offered in English, Russian and Spanish. Its work includes wills, trusts, special needs planning, Medicaid planning, guardianship and estate administration.

i-payout Simplifies Global Disbursements Through Local Payment Solutions

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, October 26th, 2026, FinanceWire

Global payout platform helps businesses manage international payments, reduce operational complexity, and offer beneficiaries more flexible ways to access their funds.

i-payout, a global financial technology company specializing in payment and disbursement solutions, is helping businesses simplify international payouts by connecting them to local payment networks and multiple withdrawal options through a single platform.

For companies paying beneficiaries across multiple countries, traditional wire transfers can introduce additional fees, processing challenges, and operational complexity. Managing different payment providers and integrations across markets can make global disbursements even more difficult to scale.

i-payout addresses these challenges by giving businesses access to local and international payment methods through one centralized solution, helping them streamline operations, manage payment costs, and improve the beneficiary experience.

Global Reach. Local Payment Options.

i-payout supports more than 20 payment methods across supported markets, including local bank transfers, push-to-card payments, digital wallets, and prepaid cards.

By leveraging local payment networks where available, businesses can reduce their reliance on traditional international wire transfers and access payment options that better align with regional needs and beneficiary preferences.

One Platform. Less Complexity.

Managing payouts across multiple countries shouldn’t require managing multiple payment systems.

i-payout brings global disbursement operations together through a centralized platform, helping businesses simplify payment management, reduce administrative complexity, and support international growth.

The platform serves marketplaces, gig economy platforms, affiliate networks, direct selling organizations, gaming companies, and enterprises managing recurring payments to beneficiaries across different markets.

Built for Businesses Operating Across Borders

“Global payouts shouldn’t be complicated or unnecessarily expensive,” said Eddie Gonzalez, CEO of i-payout. “Businesses need practical ways to manage payments across markets while giving beneficiaries access to the methods that work best for them. Our goal is to make that process simpler, more flexible, and easier to scale.”

As businesses continue expanding internationally, access to efficient payment infrastructure becomes increasingly important. By combining global coverage with local payout capabilities, i-payout helps organizations manage international disbursements through a single, adaptable solution.

Together for 50 Years, Legally Strangers: NYC Estate Attorney Lists Common Estate Plan Gaps

From unmarried partners to the family pet, the Law Offices of Vlad Portnoy says the biggest gaps are the ones people never think to ask about

New York, United States, 27th Oct 2026 – A couple can live together for 50 years in New York and the surviving partner can still inherit nothing. It is one of several gaps the Law Offices of Vlad Portnoy, a Manhattan estate planning, probate and elder law firm, sees regularly, and one that families often discover only after a death.

Together for 50 Years, Legally Strangers: NYC Estate Attorney Lists Common Estate Plan Gaps

The firm identified five things New Yorkers most often leave out of their plans:

1. An unmarried partner. New York does not recognize common-law marriage, so a long-term partner is not a legal spouse. The firm has handled a case involving a couple together for 50 years. “They’re always shocked,” says attorney Vlad Portnoy. Without a will naming the partner, the law does not treat them as family.

2. The family pet. Many owners assume a will takes care of their pet, but probate in New York can take months, and a pet needs food and shelter the same day. Without a plan, no one may even know there is an animal in the apartment. The firm uses pet trust provisions, along with naming someone to be notified, so the animal is looked after right away.

3. Digital assets, including crypto. Digital assets should be addressed in a will, but never with account names or passwords. A will is private only until death. According to the New York State court system, “Once the Will is admitted to probate or a small estate, it becomes a public document that anyone can see and read.”

4. Beneficiaries that are out of date. Beneficiaries named in a will, and on accounts and policies that pass outside it, should be reviewed at least once a year and after any major life change. The consequences of skipping this can be serious and, as the firm puts it, keep “backfiring long after” the person has died.

5. Do-it-yourself documents. “DIY is rarely a good thing in anything,” says Portnoy. A trust can affect taxes, asset protection and public benefits such as SSI and Medicaid, and a document can fail over a missing formality, as small as one overlooked requirement. The firm has seen wills, trusts and powers of attorney fail this way. In Medicaid planning, Portnoy says, a poorly done DIY plan can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

New Yorkers who want to check their plan can find more information at our estate planning and Medicaid planning pages.

i-payout Simplifies Global Disbursements Through Local Payment Solutions

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States, October 26th, 2026, FinanceWire

Global payout platform helps businesses manage international payments, reduce operational complexity, and offer beneficiaries more flexible ways to access their funds.

i-payout, a global financial technology company specializing in payment and disbursement solutions, is helping businesses simplify international payouts by connecting them to local payment networks and multiple withdrawal options through a single platform.

For companies paying beneficiaries across multiple countries, traditional wire transfers can introduce additional fees, processing challenges, and operational complexity. Managing different payment providers and integrations across markets can make global disbursements even more difficult to scale.

i-payout addresses these challenges by giving businesses access to local and international payment methods through one centralized solution, helping them streamline operations, manage payment costs, and improve the beneficiary experience.

Global Reach. Local Payment Options.

i-payout supports more than 20 payment methods across supported markets, including local bank transfers, push-to-card payments, digital wallets, and prepaid cards.

By leveraging local payment networks where available, businesses can reduce their reliance on traditional international wire transfers and access payment options that better align with regional needs and beneficiary preferences.

One Platform. Less Complexity.

Managing payouts across multiple countries shouldn’t require managing multiple payment systems.

i-payout brings global disbursement operations together through a centralized platform, helping businesses simplify payment management, reduce administrative complexity, and support international growth.

The platform serves marketplaces, gig economy platforms, affiliate networks, direct selling organizations, gaming companies, and enterprises managing recurring payments to beneficiaries across different markets.

Built for Businesses Operating Across Borders

“Global payouts shouldn’t be complicated or unnecessarily expensive,” said Eddie Gonzalez, CEO of i-payout. “Businesses need practical ways to manage payments across markets while giving beneficiaries access to the methods that work best for them. Our goal is to make that process simpler, more flexible, and easier to scale.”

As businesses continue expanding internationally, access to efficient payment infrastructure becomes increasingly important. By combining global coverage with local payout capabilities, i-payout helps organizations manage international disbursements through a single, adaptable solution.

Ritual Launches AI-Native Layer 1 for Autonomous Agents

New York, United States, October 26th, 2026, Chainwire

Ritual Chain turns AI agents into persistent economic actors that control their own wallets, onchain identity, and private state.

Ritual, a lab for autonomous intelligence founded by former Polychain Capital partners Niraj Pant and Akilesh Potti, has launched Ritual Chain, an EVM-compatible Layer 1. Unlike conventional blockchains built primarily to execute financial transactions, Ritual Chain is designed to support software that can independently use intelligence, control capital, interact with external services, and continue operating without constant human intervention. The network makes AI model access, private computation, and autonomous scheduling native capabilities for EVM applications.

This makes the reason for building a new chain clearer while preserving the technical differentiation.

The most visible demonstration of that combination is long-lived AI agents, the kind designed to operate for months or years rather than a single session. An agent on Ritual Chain persists independently of the machine or operator that created it, controls and spends funds held in its own non-custodial wallet, and can keep sensitive prompts and keys confidential from compute operators through trusted execution environments.

The network launches with integrations to Phala Network, Nous Research, LayerZero and Stargate, following a public testnet that has been live since June and processed over 40 million transactions, both agent- and human-originated. Ritual Chain delivers sub-300 millisecond block times, placing it among the fastest Layer 1 networks in the industry. Ritual Chain includes 15 native precompiles that bring capabilities like LLM inference, web access, and autonomous scheduling directly into the execution layer. The protocol has been audited by Zellic.

Ritual introduces a new execution and verification architecture that allows computationally intensive work to be delegated to specialized nodes and verified by the network, avoiding the replicated execution required by most blockchains. This execute-once, verify-many-times model allows the network to support far larger workloads, including AI inference, without requiring every validator to perform the same computation.

Long Horizon Agents Require Dedicated Blockchain Infrastructure

Most AI agents today live inside a session: they run while a human is watching, on infrastructure someone else controls, with an API key that can be revoked at any time. That is fine for a chatbot. It does not work for an agent meant to manage its own treasury, run a recurring paid service, or coordinate with other agents over long periods. A long-lived agent needs continuity that does not depend on its creator, capital it actually controls, and privacy from the machines it runs on. On Ritual Chain, an agent’s state and identity are held onchain, its scheduled work continues within the permissions and budget it was given, and its sensitive inputs can be processed inside trusted execution environments designed to shield them from node operators.

Continuity is handled at the protocol level. If an agent stops, the chain’s heartbeat mechanism can restart it within the permissions and budget it was given; no keeper network or off-chain cron job is required, and an agent’s state and identity survive beyond its deployer’s involvement. Economic autonomy comes from agent-controlled wallets: an agent controls its own funds, prices its own services, and settles its own transactions without a human signer in the loop. For confidential workloads, trusted execution environments are designed to isolate an agent’s sensitive prompts, keys, and strategy data from the node operators running its compute.

“As we move toward AGI, intelligence is beginning to separate from human agency and enter the economy on its own terms. It can hold assets, make commitments, transact, and persist independently. Once that becomes possible at scale, humans are no longer the only entities capable of forming markets or economic relationships. Ritual provides the infrastructure for those actors to exist and operate on their own,” said Niraj Pant, co-founder of Ritual.

Ritual Chain Launches With Core Infrastructure Partners

Ritual Chain launches with its core infrastructure partners in place. Phala Network provides the GPU-backed trusted execution environments that run Ritual’s confidential inference, so delegated AI work executes on hardware that attests to what it ran. LayerZero serves as the network’s cross-chain messaging layer, with Stargate enabling USDC to move between Ritual Chain and other networks from day one. On the application side, Nous Research is bringing Hermes to Ritual Chain. 

Unlike chains that add AI access through external oracles, Ritual Chain makes AI execution part of the protocol. Smart contracts can call a language model, fetch data from the web, run private computation, or schedule their own future execution as directly as they transfer assets. Developers deploy standard EVM contracts and gain those capabilities without new tooling.

Backed by Archetype and Polychain

Ritual has raised more than $30 million from Archetype and Polychain Capital, with advisors including NEAR co-founder Illia Polosukhin, Gauntlet founder Tarun Chitra, and BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes. Archetype led the company’s 2023 round.

“Programmable value and programmable intelligence are the two most important technologies since the internet, and Ritual mainnet is where they finally run on the same rails. When we led the round in 2023, a chain that could execute agentic and autonomous work natively did not exist. Today it does,” said Ash Egan, Founder and General Partner of Archetype.

Developers can deploy from day one on external sites hosted at docs.ritualfoundation.org; the network explorer is at explorer.ritualfoundation.org.

About Ritual

Ritual is a lab for autonomous intelligence. Its first network, Ritual Chain, is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 where applications can use AI models, access external services, and carry out private or scheduled work alongside onchain transactions, with delegated computation executed in trusted hardware and verified onchain. Founded in 2023 by former Polychain Capital partners Niraj Pant and Akilesh Potti, Ritual has raised $30M+ from Archetype and Polychain Capital, with a team drawn from Polychain, DeepMind, a16z crypto, Flashbots, and Palantir. ritual.net

Veterans in the Park Podcast Releases Five New Episodes about Post-Military Transition On Spotify

Veteran podcast is hosted by Charles Chou, a Marine Corps veteran, and produced by VeteranDegrees.com, a free education and career-planning resource for veterans, service members, and military families

United States, 26th Oct 2026—Veterans in the Park, the podcast about military transition, today announced the release of five new episodes on Spotify. The documentary-style interview podcast is hosted by Charles Chou, a Marine Corps veteran. In each episode, a veteran shares an honest story about life after military service, covering such topics as changing careers, returning to school, rebuilding identity, and finding purpose. The episodes reveal the lessons no transition handbook can teach. The podcast is produced by VeteranDegrees.com, a free education and career-planning resource for veterans, service members, and military families. 

Veterans in the Park Podcast Releases Five New Episodes about Post-Military Transition On Spotify

“Leaving the military is one of the biggest changes a service member goes through, and official resources rarely cover what it actually feels like. However, no matter what rank you made, every veteran eventually starts looking for something beyond the uniform, and the skills you built in service can take you there, even if you don’t realize yet what you have,” said Chou. “That’s why we sit down with veterans who’ve already made the jump, so the next person getting out can hear how it actually works.”

The veteran podcast features calm, candid, and peer-to-peer conversations, as if they were discussions between two people sitting on a park bench. Guests come from different service backgrounds, career paths, and stages of transition. To date, guests have included a former Army armor officer and an Air Force veteran who used the DoD SkillBridge program to move into tech. The latest episode (released October 15, 2026), “Service Members, We Don’t Stop”, features Eric Arzaga, a West Point graduate and Army MP on Transition, Purpose, and Building Arzaga Media. Arzaga shares how he went from the farmlands of the Philippines to West Point and Army leadership, and how he started a media company.

The show is for anyone preparing to leave the military, building a first civilian career, going back to school, or planning a second act after retirement.

Across the five episodes, listeners can find advice on topics as:

  • Planning a transition early, before separation
  • Translating military experience for civilian employers
  • Job searching, networking, and using LinkedIn
  • Deciding when, and whether, to go back to school
  • Starting a business after service
  • Rebuilding identity and finding purpose outside the uniform

Listen to Veterans in the Park on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/show/033QiE9Y15aYBhuq98ixeu, and book a Free Benefits Navigator call at https://veterandegrees.com/consultations.

KodyGas Boiler Repair Adds F-Gas Certified Air Conditioning Installation and Servicing Across South Yorkshire

KodyGas extends its services to include air conditioning following F-gas certification, covering homes and small businesses across Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley.

United Kingdom, 26th Oct 2026 – KodyGas Boiler Repair, a Gas Safe registered heating and boiler company based in Rotherham, has obtained F-gas certification and added air conditioning installation, servicing, and repair to its services. The expansion covers homes and small businesses across South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Doncaster and Barnsley.

F-gas certification is a legal requirement under UK regulations for any engineer handling refrigerants used in air conditioning systems. The certification authorises KodyGas engineers to install, service, and repair split and multi-split air conditioning units in residential and light commercial properties.

KodyGas has been operating in South Yorkshire since 2010, providing boiler repair, servicing, installation, power flushing, gas safety checks, central heating, and commercial gas work. The company holds Gas Safe registration 625280 and is fully insured. The addition of air conditioning brings its work under two regulated frameworks, covering both gas and refrigerant handling within a single local team.

The company already holds F-gas certification for heat pump installation, which uses the same refrigerant-handling requirements as air conditioning. The air conditioning service extends that existing capability to cooling systems for homes and small businesses that have seen increased demand following recent summers across the region.
