  • Rolling Stone Joins a Growing Media Consensus Around SMX’s Proof-Driven Circularity Platform (NASDAQ:SMX)

    Rolling Stone Joins a Growing Media Consensus Around SMX’s Proof-Driven Circularity Platform (NASDAQ:SMX)

    NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2025 / When mainstream, business, and lifestyle media all start telling the same story, it usually means something’s shifted.

    At first, it was Rolling Stone – the cultural north star that doesn’t hand out attention lightly. When it declared that plastic promises are dead and proof is the new flex, it marked a turning point in how we talk about sustainability. Then came USA Today, The Straits Times, Morning Honey, OPIS, and The Los Angeles Tribune, each echoing the same message from different corners of the conversation: SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) isn’t selling ideals. It’s selling evidence.

    That’s what makes this moment different. For years, coverage around recycling and traceability bounced between corporate pledges and political debates. Now the tone has changed – the media isn’t describing an aspiration; it’s reporting on execution. SMX’s molecular marker technology gives physical materials a digital identity, embedding memory into everything from plastics to textiles to metals. The result? Recycling no longer relies on trust. It runs on proof.

    When Headlines Align, Markets Listen

    It’s rare to see Rolling Stone and USA Today agree on anything. But here, they’re harmonizing. Rolling Stone tackled the cultural shift, where transparency has become a status symbol. USA Today presented the data, showing that a $824 billion plastics market can’t function without traceability. When a product can prove where it came from, what it’s made of, and where it’s been, the story changes from compliance to profitability. Proof stops being a sustainability checkbox and starts becoming a competitive edge.

    The Straits Times weighed in from Singapore, describing a digital passport for plastics that reads like an SMX playbook. OPIS went industrial, breaking down how digitalized waste becomes a measurable, tradable resource. Morning Honey translated it for consumers, linking transparent supply chains to tariff fairness and trust. Even Sourcing Journal joined in, tracing SMX’s markers through the fashion industry, while The Los Angeles Tribune framed the bigger picture with a headline that said it all: “Carbon Credits Had Their Day.”

    From Coverage to Consensus

    Together, these outlets didn’t just amplify a press cycle – they created validation. Culture, policy, and commerce rarely overlap so cleanly, but when they do, it means the idea has left the lab and entered public consciousness. The reporting has shifted from “who’s trying” to “who’s proving,” and SMX is the common thread tying those stories together.

    This isn’t PR – it’s momentum made visible. SMX’s platform spans plastics, rubber, textiles, metals, and electronics, giving each material a verifiable fingerprint in a world now demanding transparency. Governments see regulation made practical. Brands see compliance made profitable. Investors see scalability made inevitable.

    And the media? They see a story that’s writing itself. Proof is no longer a concept to explain – it’s a fact to report. It’s a bizarro world all over: SMX isn’t just in the headlines. It’s becoming the reason they exist. Because Proof is now the headline and SMX is the source.

    About SMX

    As global businesses face new and complex challenges relating to carbon neutrality and meeting new governmental and regional regulations and standards, SMX is able to offer players along the value chain access to its marking, tracking, measuring and digital platform technology to transition more successfully to a low-carbon economy.

    Press Advantage, a full-service press release distribution company, highlights its white-label reporting capabilities designed to help marketing agencies strengthen client relationships and improve retention rates through professional PR campaigns.

    The company’s white-label solution allows agencies to present press release results under their own brand, giving them full credit for media placements and SEO improvements achieved through strategic PR distribution. This approach enables agencies to expand their service offerings without investing in additional infrastructure or specialized PR staff.

    Agencies using the platform gain access to comprehensive distribution networks that include major outlets such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX affiliates, Yahoo!, Digital Journal, and regional newspapers. The white-label reporting feature generates professional PDF reports branded with the agency’s logo and contact information, eliminating any reference to Press Advantage in client-facing materials.

    Client Retention for Agencies has become increasingly challenging as businesses demand more comprehensive marketing solutions,” said Jeremy Noetzelman, CEO of Press Advantage. “By offering white-label PR services, agencies can deliver measurable media exposure results that strengthen their value proposition and create deeper client partnerships. The ability to showcase press releases on major news sites under the agency’s brand builds tremendous credibility.”

    The platform includes several features specifically designed for agency use. Dynamic self-updating reports track every news outlet publication in real-time, providing agencies with immediate proof of performance. The system supports video and image integration, enhancing the visual appeal and engagement potential of each release. Additionally, retargeting pixel capabilities allow agencies to continue marketing efforts to prospects who interact with published press releases.

    Press Advantage employs US-based professional writers who craft news stories based on agency specifications. Each release undergoes editorial review before distribution, ensuring quality standards are maintained across all client campaigns. The service includes access to a keyword research tool developed over five years, helping agencies identify optimal SEO opportunities for their clients.

    The white-label solution extends beyond basic distribution. Agencies receive personalized newsroom pages for each client, local SEO optimization features, and built-in retargeting ad capabilities. Training resources available through the Press Advantage YouTube Channel help agency teams maximize the platform’s capabilities and develop effective PR strategies. Videos include information about embedded links, schema, silo cloud techniques, and other techniques to help press releases have both impact and visibility.

    “Agencies need tools that demonstrate tangible results while maintaining their brand authority,” added Noetzelman. “Our white-label reports showcase placements on recognized news sites, giving agencies concrete evidence of their marketing impact. This transparency builds the trust necessary for long-term client relationships.”

    The platform accommodates agencies of various sizes, from boutique firms to large marketing companies. Premium distribution options include placement on Yahoo! Finance, NASDAQ, and other financial newswires for clients who require a broader reach. Each agency account includes access to US-based account representatives who provide strategic guidance and technical support.

    Press Advantage operates under Velluto Tech Incubator, a software development company founded in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2011.

  • IRS to Monitor Vacation Home Rentals More Closely – Clear Start Tax Explains How Short-Term Use Can Spark Tax Liability

    IRS to Monitor Vacation Home Rentals More Closely – Clear Start Tax Explains How Short-Term Use Can Spark Tax Liability

    New IRS focus on short-term rental income could leave homeowners facing unexpected tax bills in 2025.

    IRVINE, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / September 19, 2025 / The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced increased scrutiny of vacation home rentals, warning that income from short-term stays arranged through platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo must be properly reported. Homeowners who casually rent out their vacation properties – even for a few weekends – could face surprise tax liability if they fail to follow IRS rules.

    The agency says rental activity will be a priority enforcement area in 2025 as more taxpayers turn to vacation home rentals for extra income. The distinction between personal use and rental use is key: once a property is rented beyond certain limits, the IRS requires that income be reported and, in many cases, taxes paid on the profits.

    By answering a few simple questions, taxpayers can find out if they’re eligible for the IRS Fresh Start Program and take the first step toward resolving their tax debt.

    “Many homeowners think that if they only rent out their vacation home a handful of times, it won’t matter,” said a spokesperson for Clear Start Tax. “But the IRS has specific thresholds, and even limited rental activity can change the tax treatment of the property. Misunderstanding the rules could lead to unexpected bills or even an audit.”

    Clear Start Tax advises vacation homeowners to carefully track days of personal use versus rental use and keep detailed records of expenses. “The line between a personal property and a rental property is thinner than most people realize,” the spokesperson added. “With IRS enforcement ramping up, it’s better to review the rules now than to face penalties later.”

    Experts recommend consulting with a tax professional to ensure compliance, especially for those juggling multiple properties or using online rental platforms.

    About Clear Start Tax

    Clear Start Tax is a trusted tax relief company that helps individuals and families resolve back taxes, navigate IRS programs, and protect themselves from enforcement actions. With a client-first approach, the firm provides education and personalized solutions to reduce financial stress and restore peace of mind.

  • Harold Clarke on the Shift From Trophy Properties to Generational Holdings

    Harold Clarke on the Shift From Trophy Properties to Generational Holdings

    HONOLULU, HI / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2025 / Harold Clarke isn’t a traditional realtor. As CEO of MegaCapital Hawaii Corp.-a private real estate office specializing in discreet acquisitions and long-term holdings in Hawai‘i-he works with ultra-high-net-worth families seeking privacy, permanence, and legacy. But Clarke’s philosophy around real estate was shaped decades ago, far from the islands.

    Photo Courtesy of: MegaCapital Hawaii Corp.

    In the 1980s, when Clarke was growing up in Peru, real estate was viewed through the lens of legacy. “Where I came from, homes weren’t trophies in the superficial sense,” he explains. “They were generational estates-deeply considered, quietly held, and built to last. The scale and intentionality of those properties shaped how I think about permanence today.”

    Today, Clarke is one of the most discreet and influential figures in Hawai‘i’s luxury real estate market. His clientele consists almost exclusively of ultra-high-net-worth individuals who buy not from public listings, but from whispered conversations and private dossiers, often without a property ever touching the open market. He does not advertise. His clients do not scroll.

    For decades, the prevailing myth around wealth and real estate in America, especially in places like Hawai‘i, the Hamptons, and Malibu, has been centered on the trophy: the gated estate, the panoramic pool, the beachside architectural marvel featured in glossy spreads and watched from behind velvet ropes.

    That era, Clarke argues, is quietly closing. What’s replacing it isn’t louder. It’s quieter. More intentional. And far more permanent.

    A Shift in Function, Not Just Form

    “Real estate is no longer about display. It’s about insulation.” That’s how Clarke frames what he’s seeing, and facilitating, every day. Over the last five years, a noticeable shift has taken hold among the wealthiest families: the move away from high-visibility, high-vanity purchases toward holdings that are invisible by design.

    Data from private wealth consultancies supports this. More than 70% of family offices surveyed in 2024 said they are now prioritizing real estate as an intergenerational asset over short-term appreciation. In the U.S., luxury properties are increasingly being acquired by trusts rather than individuals – structures structured not for liquidity but for permanence.

    These transactions are rarely publicized. They occur in legal offices, not online portals. The buyers aren’t chasing acclaim. They’re protecting bloodlines.

    Clarke’s firm, MegaCapital Hawaii Corp, manages both public and private real estate platforms – Luxury Big Island and Private Listings. The distinction isn’t about price point. It’s about intention. Trophy properties are often sold for the reaction they create. Generational holdings are secured for the silence they offer.

    “When someone asks me to find them a home,” Clarke says, “I ask what they want to protect. Because that’s what the purchase is really about.”

    Why the Market You See Isn’t the One That Moves

    It’s tempting to look at listing sites or high-profile property sales and assume that’s where the action is. But Clarke would disagree.

    His Private Listings platform contains several of the most valuable residential properties in Hawai‘i – none of which have ever been seen by the public. Access is invite-only. Viewings happen quietly. Transactions are conducted directly between families, with no trace online.

    “By the time something’s visible,” Clarke says, “it’s already passed through the hands of people who chose not to take it.”

    This model, he believes, reflects how serious capital actually moves. The majority of real estate wealth in Hawai‘i, as in much of the world, is not trading hands through public spectacle. It’s moving through lineage. Through trust. Through the silent mechanisms of generational planning.

    And it’s not just anecdotal. Institutional investors have followed suit. In 2025, Carlyle raised $9 billion for U.S. real estate, focusing almost entirely on properties with multigenerational potential – logistics hubs, residential land, and safe-haven estates. The flash is fading. The function is ascending.

    The Moral Imperative of Stability

    It’s easy to dismiss this shift as another iteration of the ultra-rich protecting their assets. But to reduce it to that is to miss something deeper-something Clarke has witnessed across continents, from Lima to Miami to Kona.

    “For many of our clients, wealth came from volatility,” he says. “What they’re looking for now isn’t luxury. It’s control. Not control over others. Control over uncertainty.”

    In this sense, real estate becomes a moral decision. A decision about where children will return after the storms. A decision about keeping something untouched by chaos, whether economic, environmental, or political. For UHNW families, property becomes a perimeter , against exposure, against fragility, against the unpredictable edges of the future.

    And that, perhaps, is why Clarke’s message resonates so deeply now. In a world gripped by climate risk, institutional erosion, and algorithmic noise, the idea of permanence carries weight. Not permanence in concrete, but permanence in intention. In protection. In silence.

    No Signage, No Spotlight, No Applause

    Harold Clarke doesn’t place signs on the properties he represents. His clients don’t want them. They don’t need them. And increasingly, they see those signs not as a badge of opportunity, but as a signal that the opportunity has already passed.

    “We’re not selling homes,” Clarke says. “We’re helping people place their history. Their future.”

    That may not make for flashy headlines. But it creates something far more lasting. Something that doesn’t seek attention, because it already has what matters: roots.

  • Högg Liftsysteme AG Highlights Elevator and Platform Lifts Amid Demand for Accessible Architecture

    Högg Liftsysteme AG Highlights Elevator and Platform Lifts Amid Demand for Accessible Architecture

    Wattwil, St. Gallen – October 08, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Högg Liftsysteme AG, a Swiss lift systems manufacturer with over three decades of experience, addresses the increasing global demand for accessible building solutions through its comprehensive range of mobility systems. The company, which has been installing lifts across Switzerland since 1990, specializes in custom-engineered wheelchair lifts, seat lifts, vertical lifts, platform lifts, and ceiling lifts designed to enhance accessibility in both residential and commercial environments.

    The growing emphasis on inclusive architecture and aging-in-place design has created unprecedented demand for sophisticated mobility solutions. Industry data indicates that the global accessibility equipment market continues to expand as building codes increasingly mandate barrier-free access and as demographics shift toward an aging population requiring enhanced mobility support.

    Högg Liftsysteme AG operates from three strategic locations in St. Gallen, Bern, and Lausanne, providing comprehensive lift solutions that combine Swiss precision engineering with modern technology. The company’s product portfolio addresses diverse accessibility challenges, from narrow spiral staircases in historic buildings to modern commercial spaces requiring seamless vertical transportation.

    The company’s ceiling lift systems represent a particularly innovative approach to accessibility challenges. These suspension lifts mount to the ceiling rather than the staircase itself, leaving passages completely unobstructed for other users. This design proves especially valuable in multi-family buildings where fire safety regulations require clear evacuation routes. More information about their complete product range can be found at https://www.hoegglift.ch/en/products.

    Each lift system undergoes custom engineering to match the specific architectural requirements of its installation site. Whether addressing a straight staircase, curved configuration, or outdoor installation, the company’s engineering team develops tailored solutions that integrate seamlessly with existing structures. The vertical lifts, or homelifts, operate without requiring a machine room or lift pit, making them suitable for retrofit installations in buildings where traditional elevators would be impractical.

    The company’s commitment to long-term reliability extends through its comprehensive service offerings, including a five-year guarantee on products, maintenance programs, and the availability of second-hand and rental units for temporary accessibility needs. As a member of Liftunion, a European network of lift specialists, the company maintains connections with international expertise and technological developments in the mobility sector.

    Beyond standard installations, Högg Liftsysteme AG has developed specialized solutions for unique applications, including custom lift units for the railway industry. These projects demonstrate the company’s capability to move from initial concept through development to final delivery of complex mobility systems.

    Högg Liftsysteme AG continues to serve the Swiss market with planning, installation, and maintenance services, supporting the transformation of buildings into accessible spaces that accommodate users of all mobility levels. The company’s three-decade presence in the Swiss lift industry has established it as a trusted partner for architects, building owners, and individuals seeking reliable accessibility solutions. The company maintains its headquarters in Wattwil, Switzerland, where it coordinates installations throughout the country.
