The Come Up Continues – Cincy’s Very Own JayFlyin Returns with a Debut Album, “The Jay Flys In”

Hip hop with a fresh, fearless voice, blending hustle, humor, and heart.

Los Angeles, CA, California, United States, September 30, 2025 — After making a splash in 2018 with tracks No Offense and Savages, which together racked up over 150,000 streams on Spotify alone, JayFlyin is back for real. Born Justin Flynn, he spent the last several years balancing music with family life, business ventures, and real estate. Now he returns with his debut album, The Jay Flys In, a 17-minute ride through sharp wordplay, wit, ambition, and unapologetic confidence. Released independently, the album marks a turning point for an artist whose music has always been about expression, storytelling, and connection rather than chasing fame.

The album opens with Honey, a track that immediately sets the tone. Playful, pointed, and witty, it’s a song about priorities, loyalty, and the grind of life—delivered with the kind of humor and punchy phrasing that makes JayFlyin stand out. It’s a cut that blends narrative with swagger, showing that he’s not just rapping, he’s giving listeners a peek into his world. The production, handled by RIAA Certified Gold Producer MaMaNamedMeEvan, provides a clean, polished backdrop, while recording engineer Cash D at Timeless Recording Studio ensures every word hits with precision. Nothing feels overproduced here—just crisp, professional beats that let JayFlyin’s voice shine.

From there, the album moves into Big Plans and FreeStyle, tracks that showcase his versatility and knack for inventive bars. JayFlyin can switch flows effortlessly, moving from rapid-fire verses to more measured reflections, giving each song its own personality. These moments reveal a side of him that’s thoughtful and driven, balancing the humor and bravado with a deeper sense of purpose. It’s clear that this isn’t music made lightly—every line reflects an artist who’s lived, learned, and worked for everything he has.

Boonedocks and Spaz bring another dimension, full of vivid imagery, humor, and streetwise perspective. JayFlyin crafts little cinematic scenes here: nights in the city, encounters with friends and lovers, and the chaos of life lived fast. There’s an energetic spark throughout, but it’s grounded by a sharp sense of observation. Tracks like Bron and Ralph push boundaries even further. Raw, unfiltered, and fearless, they reveal a side of JayFlyin that’s unapologetic, daring, and unmistakably his own.

His Cincinnati roots run deep, and his life experience—growing up during hard economic times, navigating family struggles, and building a business with his family—shapes the honesty of his lyrics. He tells his story, and in doing so, he creates music that’s relatable, insightful, and dynamic. His personality comes through in every verse, making the album feel like a conversation with someone who’s hustled and learned a few things along the way.

Even with top-tier production, there’s a distinctly human quality throughout. You can hear JayFlyin’s character in every delivery—the smirk in a line, the punch of a sharp rhyme, the sincerity beneath the bravado. He’s an artist with something to say and a style that refuses to be boxed in. Each track tells a story, whether it’s a night out, a personal reflection, or a humorous look at life’s absurdities.

The Jay Flys In is an opportunity to know the artist, to experience his energy, and to witness a voice that’s unique, confident, and undeniably his own. For longtime fans who followed his early releases and for new listeners discovering him for the first time, this project is a celebration of life, ambition, and authenticity. The Jay Flys In isn’t just JayFlyin announcing his arrival—it’s him reminding the world why his voice matters. It’s fun, it’s smart, it’s fearless, and above all, it’s real.

Helpany’s Paul Sweeps McKnight’s Tech Awards, Redefining Senior Care Safety

San Francisco, California, United States, September 30, 2025 — Falls are the leading cause of injury for adults 65 and older, with more than 14 million—about 1 in 4—reporting a fall each year, according to the CDC. Helpany’s Paul, a radar- and AI-powered fall prevention system that operates without cameras or microphones, shows those numbers aren’t inevitable. By enabling caregivers to intervene before a fall occurs, Paul is reshaping safety and dignity in senior care. And at this year’s McKnight’s Tech Awards, Paul didn’t just stand out—it swept the field.

The McKnight’s Tech Awards are one of the industry’s leading benchmarks for innovation in senior care, spotlighting technologies that measurably improve safety, efficiency, and quality of life for older adults.

Paul Earned The Following Awards:

  • Gold for Innovator of the Year
  • Gold for Resident Monitoring and Safety
  • Silver for Falls Prevention
  • Best of Show, the event’s top honor

“Of course we’re honored to receive these awards, but what truly matters are the lives behind the numbers,” said Eugenie Nicoud, Co-Founder and COO at Helpany. “At Fellowship Square Mesa, for example, falls dropped by 70% in just two months. This isn’t just about technology—it’s about giving caregivers the support they need to prevent accidents and keep residents safe and independent. What sets Paul apart is that it achieves this in a fully privacy-preserving way, so dignity is never compromised. For us, the real reward isn’t the recognition—it’s knowing residents are safer and caregivers are empowered to do what they do best: care for people.”

Falls are the leading cause of injury and hospitalization for older adults according to the National Council on Aging, yet most communities still rely on reactive solutions—pull cords, wearables, or cameras—that are either ineffective or compromise privacy and dignity. Paul takes a smarter approach: using AI and radar to understand how each individual moves, in a way that fully preserves privacy. Because every person is unique, Paul recognizes subtle changes and provides caregivers with meaningful insights that help identify residents at risk, detect early declines in well-being, and catch the warning signs that can lead to a fall for example.

The impact is tangible. At Fellowship Square in Mesa, Arizona, Paul was installed across every assisted living, memory care and independent living apartment, cutting falls by 70% in two months, eliminating nighttime falls during the trial period, and reducing ER visits. Care teams also gained back 500 hours per caregiver annually by eliminating unnecessary checks and documentation, allowing more time for direct resident care.

Across 10 senior living communities in case studies—serving more than 2,000 residents—Paul has consistently delivered measurable results: improved safety, more efficient caregiving, and greater overall well-being.

Some impressive findings include:

  • Falls have been reduced by as much as up to 72% within weeks of deployment.
  • In multiple communities, zero nighttime falls were reported during the study period.
  • Caregivers have gained back an average of 21% more time with residents—without communities needing to add staff.
  • In just three months, Paul enabled over 1,160 proactive interventions, turning invisible risks into early action.
  • Communities have reported up to $200,000 in annual savings, driven by fewer ER visits and smarter staffing.
  • In some cases, 911 calls have been reduced by as much as 80%.

“These results are just the beginning,” Nicoud said. “We believe AI will redefine how the entire senior care industry operates—moving from reactive, crisis-driven responses to proactive, preventive care. Our vision is straightforward: a future where every resident lives with safety and dignity, and every caregiver has the tools and time to provide the kind of care they always wanted to deliver.”

Helpany is poised for rapid growth as it expands its award-winning technology across senior living communities nationwide. The company is scaling deployments and deepening partnerships with forward-thinking providers. “Our vision is laser-focused,” Nicoud said. “We want Paul to become the standard of care, across every level of senior living. The goal is a safer, smarter, and more dignified future for older adults everywhere.”

EBL Deepens Commitment to Sustainable Living with New Focus Charger and Gen.3 Battery Launch

Shenzhen, China, September 30, 2025 — EBL, a brand that has become a staple in American households for its rechargeable power solutions, today announced a significant new release. The EBL Focus Charger and Gen.3 Batteries are now available. This launch is not just a routine product update. It represents a thoughtful response to a growing consumer desire for simpler, more sustainable, and beautifully designed technology in their homes.

The company’s direction has long been guided by a single, powerful idea: to lead the transition away from a disposable culture. EBL sees a future where sustainable choices are easy and intuitive, becoming the default for everyone. The work behind the scenes is always aimed at making that future a reality. The new Focus Charger is a direct result of this philosophy. It’s a well-crafted tool designed for longevity, helping people reduce waste without adding complexity to their lives. This approach creates a clear benefit for the consumer and marks a positive step for the environment.

Design That Solves Problems

The design process for the Focus Charger started with listening to common user frustrations. People often feel uncertain about the charging process. In response, the device features a clean, borderless LED screen. Paired with a unique Prism-style control knob, it provides an immediate, easy-to-understand status update for each battery. The goal was to bring a sense of calm and clarity to a typically cluttered tech chore.

The theme of simplification extends to its physical form. The charger integrates 8 charging slots directly into a unit that also serves as a protective storage case. This decision came from observing how people manage their batteries at home—often scattered in drawers or in separate, clumsy containers. This integrated design helps organize spaces, whether it’s a family’s living room, a photographer’s gear bag, or a busy office. It’s a practical design for modern life.

A System for the Long Haul

The Gen.3 batteries, now with updated, more eco-friendly packaging, are a key part of this system. Continuing EBL’s focus on sustainable and reliable power solutions, the new generation maintains the brand’s consistent advantages of high recharge cycles, stable performance, and cost efficiency. In addition, EBL plans to complete a full packaging refresh across its battery lineup by the end of this year. The new design will visually distinguish different product types, helping users identify the right battery more easily and reduce time spent on selection.

The Focus Charger complements this system with wide compatibility. It supports both AA and AAA sizes and works with multiple battery types, including 1.2V Ni-MH/Ni-CD and 1.5V Li-ion. This flexibility allows a single, organized setup to meet diverse household power needs, from children’s toys and remote controls to smart home devices.

Together, the charger and Gen.3 batteries offer a practical, long-term solution for everyday energy use—one that emphasizes simplicity, durability, and reduced waste without adding complexity to daily life.

Availability

Consumers can purchase the EBL Focus Charger and Gen.3 Rechargeable Batteries starting today on Amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7X443N7),

or learn more about the new releases on EBL’s official website at EBL (https://www.eblofficial.com/products/rechargeable-aa-lithium-batteries-with-charger).

About EBL

EBL is a global brand focused on creating practical and sustainable power solutions. The company has earned its reputation by designing reliable, eco-friendly products that meet the real needs of millions of customers.

How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Dog? CitizenShipper Explains the Real Costs and Options for Pet Owners

CitizenShipper was recently featured in USA Today for outlining the actual costs, logistics, and safe travel options available to pet owners across the country.

Austin, TX, Texas, United States, September 25, 2025 — CitizenShipper, the nation’s leading peer-to-peer pet transportation platform, has been featured in USA Today for its role in redefining the way pet owners understand the costs and logistics of dog shipping. The article highlights the complexity of transporting pets across the country and how CitizenShipper provides clarity, safety, and peace of mind for families.

“It’s one thing to move furniture across the country. Moving your dog without you along for the ride, is another story,” the article notes. That’s the reality for many pet owners who are adopting from another state, relocating cross-country, or simply facing circumstances where their dogs must travel solo.

A Transparent Look at Pet Shipping Costs

Unlike moving personal belongings, transporting pets comes with unique challenges—ranging from veterinary paperwork and airline restrictions to handling nervous or large-breed animals. CitizenShipper’s CEO, Richard Obousy, made it clear that there is no one-size-fits-all answer:

“There’s no flat number we can point to,” said Obousy. “Every trip looks different. A 10-pound dog flying with a nanny from Chicago to Dallas is a very different job than a 90-pound lab riding in a van to rural Oregon.”

This nuanced reality has created demand for services that can adapt to pet owners’ diverse needs. CitizenShipper, founded in 2008, connects pet owners with trusted, background-checked drivers who specialize in animal transport.

Air Travel vs. Ground Transport

The feature outlined two major options available to pet owners:

  • Air Travel: For small dogs, airlines allow in-cabin transport for about $125 each way. But pets can’t travel alone. This creates demand for “air nannies”—professionals who accompany pets on flights, ensuring safe check-ins, layovers, and connections. Prices can range from $300 to $1,500 or more depending on the destination. Large dogs, unable to fly in-cabin, face cargo options that typically cost $500–$1,200.
  • Ground Transport: For pets who can’t fly—or whose owners prefer not to risk it—ground transport offers a more flexible solution. On CitizenShipper, drivers typically quote between 50 cents and $1.60 per mile. A 600-mile trip could range from $300 to nearly $1,000.

“Some people want the cheapest ride possible,” Obousy said. “Others want a private ride, no other pets, GPS tracking, updates every few hours. You can find both.”

Beyond the Ride: Hidden Costs and Preparation

The article also noted that the costs extend beyond the trip itself. Certificates of Veterinary Inspection (CVIs)—required for most transports—range from $75 to $250. Airline-approved crates for cargo flights can cost several hundred dollars, particularly for larger breeds. And, of course, there are additional expenses such as medications, food, and ID tags.

Factoring in these requirements, the bottom line for transporting a pet can range from $500 to well over $1,500.

Trust and Transparency at the Core

For CitizenShipper, the focus has always been on trust. With drivers who are ID-verified and background-checked, plus a Pet Protection Plan included with every trip, the company has made transparency central to its mission.

“People just want to know their dog is in good hands,” Obousy explained. “We built CitizenShipper to make sure they have options, whether that means getting multiple quotes or finding a driver who sends updates from the road.”

By offering flexibility and choice, CitizenShipper empowers pet owners to make informed decisions based on budget, comfort, and safety needs.

Growing Demand for Pet Transportation

The rise of pet adoption across state lines, coupled with families relocating more frequently, has made professional pet transport an increasingly common necessity. As pets become more integrated into the family unit, the demand for safe and reliable transportation has grown.

CitizenShipper, with over 135,000 successful pet transports completed, has emerged as a trusted leader in this space. Its human-first approach ensures that families don’t just get their pets from point A to point B, but also experience peace of mind throughout the journey.

About CitizenShipper

Launched in 2008, CitizenShipper is a U.S.-based pet transportation platform that connects families with verified, independent drivers nationwide. The company has completed more than 135,000 pet transports, providing safe, transparent, and flexible travel solutions. Through background-checked drivers, a Pet Protection Plan, and personalized updates, CitizenShipper has become a leader in the growing pet transport industry, ensuring pets arrive safely while owners enjoy peace of mind.

She shared the remarkable contributions of women from all ethnic groups in Xinjiang to economic and social development, bringing to the world an authentic voice of Xinjiang’s diversity and prosperity.

Parizati Aini was born in Xinjiang, a land nourished by the snowmelt of the Tianshan Mountains and kissed by the sun of the Gobi Desert. In 1998, by chance, she shifted from dance to acting and went on to play the lead role in a TV drama. The experience impressed upon her that “passion enables people to shine.” In 2009, at the height of her career, she traveled to Australia for further study. Though she faced setbacks from language and cultural barriers, she persevered—studying while running a small shop—and deepened her conviction that “no matter how far I go, my roots are always in China.” This strengthened her resolve to return home and start her own business.

In 2015, with a broadened international perspective, Parizati Aini returned to Xinjiang. Drawing on the region’s unique natural plant resources, combining top Chinese research expertise with Australian natural skincare techniques, she founded the skincare brand PERIDEO. After years of dedicated work, her company actively expanded into international markets, participating in exhibitions and learning advanced business practices in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East—countries along the Belt and Road. In doing so, she demonstrated to the world the quality and appeal of products made in Xinjiang, China.

A turning point came in 2021 when a speech by Professor Peng Liyuan profoundly influenced her path. Phrases such as “where there is warmth, there is light,” “let the light of education illuminate the path of women’s hope,” “teach people how to fish,” and “the level of women’s development marks the height of human civilization” inspired her to redefine both her personal mission and her company’s direction—focusing on women’s empowerment and children’s welfare. Since then, she has devoted herself to public welfare, demonstrating through action the social value and responsibility of a female entrepreneur advancing the rights of women and children.

At the United Nations, Parizati Aini said with emotion: “Standing here at the United Nations today is not just a personal honor, but also a recognition of thousands of women in Xinjiang. They are shining in every field, using their diligence and wisdom to write a brilliant chapter of Chinese women in the new era.”

She also extended a heartfelt invitation to the world: “Welcome to China and visit Xinjiang—come walk the land, marvel at the grandeur of the Tianshan Mountains, taste the fruits of the Silk Road, experience the warm hospitality of its many ethnic groups, and witness firsthand Xinjiang’s vibrant development and boundless opportunities for cooperation.”

Her UN speech, together with Kurbanjan Samat’s documentary I’m Going to Xinjiang, to be released worldwide, represents an important dual effort in Xinjiang’s global outreach. The former highlights the confidence and responsibility of Xinjiang women through the lens of an entrepreneur, while the latter presents a real and diverse Xinjiang through film—its landscapes, cultural traditions, young entrepreneurship, and the fusion of folk culture with modern development. Together, they offer global audiences rich cultural perspectives and vivid images to better understand Xinjiang.

Since its founding nine years ago, the “I Am From Xinjiang” New Media Center has consistently pursued international communication from a grassroots perspective. By telling authentic personal stories, it has sought to break down prejudice and stereotypes, and by building bridges on international platforms, it has transformed Xinjiang’s development achievements into accessible cultural narratives. Organizing entrepreneurs to participate in United Nations events marks an important step in its efforts to engage in international dialogue, and shows how outstanding grassroots organizations like it can, through diverse works and innovative approaches, present to the world a three-dimensional, authentic, and vibrant China.

About the company: “I Am From Xinjiang” New Media Center is a grassroots initiative dedicated to telling authentic personal stories from Xinjiang and fostering international understanding. Through documentaries, cultural projects, and global events, the centre showcases the region’s diversity, development, and entrepreneurial spirit, breaking down stereotypes and building bridges between Xinjiang and the world.

PrivacyPod Unveils Smart Soundproof Office Pods, Redefining ROI in the Future of Work

PrivacyPod Unveils Smart Soundproof Office Pods, Redefining ROI in the Future of Work

Washington, DC (Hagerstown, MD), United States, September 25, 2025 — PrivacyPod, a category leader in modular, soundproof office pods, today announced the upcoming launch of its Smart Pod—a first-of-its-kind office pod with built-in booking, payments, and monetization capabilities. Arriving this September, the Smart Pod is set to transform underutilised office space into a measurable, revenue-generating asset.

Sound-Proof Office Pods.

As hybrid work continues to reshape corporate real estate strategies, companies are under increasing pressure to maximize every square foot. A recent CBRE study reports that 60% of organizations plan to reduce their real estate footprint by at least 20% in the next two years, while JLL data shows that most traditional conference rooms remain underutilized, sitting empty for more than half the workday. “The old office layout no longer supports the way we work,” said a PrivacyPod spokesperson. “Companies need infrastructure that’s agile, flexible, and financially justified. PrivacyPod delivers on all three.”

Traditional conference rooms have become costly relics in the hybrid era. Microsoft’s 2024 Work Trend Index shows that two-thirds of meetings involve remote participants, typically small groups that don’t need oversized rooms. Yet companies continue to spend upwards of $8,000 annually on each six-seat conference room in high-rent markets like New York or San Francisco, not including maintenance and opportunity costs. PrivacyPod offers a flexible alternative with its modular pods, from the XL Pod for team huddles to the compact S Pod for solo work. Unlike fixed buildouts, pods require no construction, permits, or sunk costs. They can be relocated, reconfigured, or even resold, making them both practical and financially efficient.

Each PrivacyPod is engineered with ISO 23351-1 certified soundproofing, delivering up to 30 dB of speech privacy. Equipped with whisper-quiet ventilation, LED lighting, and modular add-ons such as Ethernet ports and height-adjustable desks, the pods can be tailored to evolving workplace needs. “Noise distractions reduce cognitive performance by as much as 66%,” noted PrivacyPod. “Our pods combat this directly, ensuring employees can focus, collaborate, and innovate without interruption.”

The upcoming Smart Pod takes this vision further by enabling direct monetization of workspace. Outfitted with QR-based access, real-time booking, digital payments, and admin dashboards, Smart Pods empower organizations to treat workspaces as revenue streams. For coworking operators, landlords, universities, and hospitality groups, the Smart Pod presents a turnkey opportunity: deployable in hours, rentable by the hour, and able to achieve full ROI within one to two fiscal quarters. “This isn’t just about privacy—it’s about profitability,” added the spokesperson. “The Smart Pod is a micro real estate investment that pays for itself.”

PrivacyPod solutions are already in use across enterprise headquarters, startup campuses, public libraries, and nonprofit organizations. Clients report reduced meeting conflicts, clearer calls, and improved employee satisfaction. The addition of monetizable Smart Pods is expected to accelerate adoption, particularly among property managers seeking new income streams without heavy construction.

The PrivacyPod Smart Pod will officially launch in September 2025, with early inquiries now open for enterprises, coworking operators, and commercial real estate owners looking to integrate rentable, bookable pods into their spaces.

PrivacyPod is a leader in modular, soundproof office pods designed for the hybrid era. From solo focus spaces to team collaboration pods, PrivacyPod solutions provide privacy, flexibility, and measurable ROI. With the launch of its Smart Pod, the company is extending its mission to not only enhance productivity but also generate new revenue opportunities for organisations worldwide.
