SwimmingPoolBuilders announces November 2025 platform redesign launching enhanced directory service connecting reputable swimming pool construction professionals with South African homeowners. The platform addresses growing demand in the nation’s market of nearly 800,000 residential pools, representing the sixth-largest pool industry globally.

Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa, 20th Oct 2025 – Swimming Pool Builders announced the upcoming launch of its redesigned platform scheduled for November 2025, introducing an enhanced directory service that connects reputable swimming pool construction professionals with homeowners across South Africa. The platform transformation addresses growing demand in a market that represents the sixth-largest pool industry globally, with nearly 800,000 residential pools nationwide.

The platform redesign focuses on creating a curated marketplace where certified pool construction professionals can showcase their expertise while providing homeowners with streamlined access to verified contractors. This development responds to industry data indicating South Africa maintains approximately 800,000 residential swimming pools, establishing the nation as a significant player in the global pool construction sector.

“The swimming pool industry in South Africa has demonstrated consistent growth, with homeowners increasingly seeking reliable information sources for major construction projects,” said a representative from Swimming Pool Builders. “The redesigned platform addresses this need by creating a transparent connection point between quality-focused contractors and discerning property owners.”

The new Swimming Pool Builders platform will feature enhanced search functionality, allowing users to locate swimming pool builders based on geographic location, specialization, and project type. The service targets homeowners researching construction options for residential properties, providing access to contractor profiles, service descriptions, and company credentials.

Industry analysis reveals the global swimming pool market continues expanding, with projections indicating growth from 8.9 billion USD in 2025 to 11.54 billion USD by 2030. South Africa’s position as the sixth-largest pool market globally reflects both residential demand and favorable climate conditions that support year-round pool usage across multiple regions.

The platform transformation emphasizes transparency in the swimming pool construction sector by establishing clear standards for contractor participation. Participating construction companies undergo verification processes designed to confirm licensing, insurance coverage, and professional credentials before gaining platform access.

“Property owners investing in swimming pool construction deserve access to contractors who demonstrate proven expertise and professional accountability,” the company representative stated. “This platform serves both parties by creating a trusted environment where quality standards drive marketplace participation.”

The redesigned website will incorporate updated technology infrastructure supporting mobile device accessibility, improved navigation architecture, and enhanced user experience design. These technical improvements address evolving consumer behavior patterns, with industry data showing increased reliance on digital platforms for contractor research and selection processes.

South Africa’s established pool construction industry benefits from experienced contractor networks, established supply chains, and regional expertise in various pool types including concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl installations. The platform’s directory structure accommodates this diversity by allowing pool builders to specify their technical capabilities and preferred project categories.

The November 2025 launch timeline positions the platform redesign ahead of the Southern Hemisphere summer season, traditionally representing peak demand periods for pool construction inquiries and project commencements. This strategic timing aligns with homeowner planning cycles for outdoor living space improvements.

Platform features will include comprehensive contractor profiles detailing years of experience, geographic service areas, project portfolios, and contact information. The system architecture supports direct communication between homeowners and contractors while maintaining the platform’s role as an information resource rather than a transaction intermediary.

“The construction of a residential swimming pool represents a significant investment requiring careful contractor selection,” noted the company representative. “Our platform provides the research foundation homeowners need to make informed decisions about their projects.”

The service addresses common challenges in the contractor selection process, including difficulty verifying credentials, limited access to contractor comparison information, and uncertainty about industry standards. By consolidating verified contractor information in a centralized directory, the platform reduces research time while improving decision-making quality for property owners.

Swimming Pool Builders operates as a specialized directory service focused exclusively on the swimming pool industry in South Africa. This sector-specific approach differentiates the platform from general contractor directories by providing targeted information relevant to pool construction projects.

The platform redesign incorporates feedback from both contractors and homeowners regarding information needs, search functionality preferences, and user experience expectations. This collaborative development approach ensures the final platform design addresses practical requirements from both user groups.

Industry participants can access additional information about platform participation requirements and listing processes through the company’s website at https://swimmingpoolbuilders.co.za/. The platform welcomes inquiries from qualified swimming pool construction professionals interested in directory inclusion ahead of the November 2025 launch date.

About Swimming Pool Builders: Swimming Pool Builders operates as a specialized online directory connecting homeowners with professional swimming pool construction contractors across South Africa. The platform focuses on facilitating informed contractor selection through verified professional listings and comprehensive service information.

Dystopian novel ‘Sanctuary’ examines corporate control and Ojibwe resilience through a reporter’s journey toward freedom. Now on display at Explora Books, Hall 5.1 D59 during Frankfurter Buchmesse, October 15-19, 2025.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 20th Oct 2025 – Explora Books Ltd. presents Sanctuary, a new novel by Karen East, on display at Hall 5.1 D59 during the Frankfurter Buchmesse (October 15-19, 2025). The presentation highlights the novel’s examination of corporate power, environmental decline, tightened security measures, and the search for alternative ways of living.

Set in the mid-twenty-first century, Sanctuary follows Janet Ryan, a thirty-year-old reporter at the Minneapolis Herald. In a nation where major corporations exert decisive influence over government, environmental protections erode and travel outside local neighborhoods becomes suspect, Janet discovers a circle of people skeptical of official narratives. An unauthorized journey to northern Wisconsin brings Janet to an Ojibwe reservation where residents maintain traditional practices and communal survival.

Karen East writes from a background in marriage and family therapy and long experience working with several Midwest tribes. That experience informs the novel’s portrayal of ceremony, kinship, and practical strategies for sustaining community in an unhealthy environment. East is the mother of two children, grandmother to a grandson, and a great-grandmother to four great-grandchildren.

Critical response highlights the book’s timely perspective and cultural insight. “I enjoyed reading Sanctuary by Karen East. I’ve known her for a number of years and knew she was working on this. I was somewhat surprised, as I heard the book. I assumed it would be from the past and some present things. However, it went into the future (about 40 years from the modern day), and it is ironic how it affects the happenings occurring with COVID-19. In the larger cities and the precautions they have to have, just for basic survival. And yet, in our Tribal Communities, with returning to the Traditional ways… how we have been able to survive in an unhealthy world. A huge lesson here to all to learn about the Indian/Native American ways.”

“Sanctuary takes us through polluted haze to ceremonial smoke guided by the spirit of the Anishinaabe. Karen East’s background in the humanities of our two cultures and her ties to the Ojibway weave this story of desperation, hope and survival.”

Frankfurter Buchmesse is a defining fair for print and digital content, bringing publishers, authors, agents, journalists and cultural professionals together to discover new titles and discuss ongoing challenges in publishing. Sanctuary contributes to conversations about cultural preservation and societal resilience.

A cinematic trailer for Sanctuary will be released through Explora Books Ltd. social media channels. Attendees, journalists, and industry representatives can locate the title on display at Explora Books Ltd., Hall 5.1 D59 for the duration of the fair. Copies are available at the display, and requests for review or library copies may be directed to Explora Books Ltd. using the contact information below.

Historical narrative poem ‘Mary and Sir Edward’ by Stewart T. Monti Sr. will be on display at Explora Books Ltd., Hall 5.1 D59 during Frankfurter Buchmesse, October 15 to 19, 2025.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 20th Oct 2025 – Explora Books Ltd. announces that Mary and Sir Edward, a narrative poem by Stewart T. Monti Sr., will be prominently displayed at Hall 5.1 D59 during the Frankfurter Buchmesse. The fair, recognized as the defining event for the print and digital content business, gathers publishing professionals, authors, journalists, and cultural enthusiasts from around the globe.

Stewart T. Monti Sr., born in 1951 in Bland, Virginia, draws upon a varied life that includes military service, aviation, and academic instruction. A retired Major of the United States Air Force with thousands of flight hours, Monti earned two master’s degrees and has served as an adjunct instructor at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. His first poetry collection, 135 Poems for Today, was published in 2017. Mary and Sir Edward, published in 2023, represents a development toward extended verse that combines historical narrative with lyrical detail.

Monti’s poems have been visible in community venues, including a church thrift shop, a friend’s hair salon, church kitchens, a railway museum, and numerous private homes in the Greater Sanford, North Carolina area. These placements reflect an engagement with accessible public art and grassroots literary culture, demonstrating the reach of Monti’s verse beyond conventional literary venues.

At Frankfurter Buchmesse, the Explora Books Ltd. presentation will situate Mary and Sir Edward within an international marketplace. Visitors to Hall 5.1 D59 may examine printed editions, publication information, and supporting materials that contextualize the poem within Monti’s wider work. The display will also reference forthcoming publication Hilary and Sir Edward, which is expected to be available soon through Explora.

The presence of narrative poetry at Hall 5.1 D59 offers fair attendees an opportunity to encounter a literary form that often receives less attention in commercial exhibition spaces. Explora Books Ltd. positions the display as part of its editorial program to showcase a range of literary expressions and to support authors whose work bridges traditional verse and storytelling.

Media representatives and members of the trade seeking review copies, rights information, or interview opportunities are requested to contact Explora Books Ltd. directly. Contact information follows.

Author Judith A. Perkins will sign copies from her Journey to the Pacific trilogy on October 18, 2025, at Frankfurter Buchmesse, giving readers a chance to meet the author and learn about stories of resilience, family, and discovery.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 20th Oct 2025 – Judith A. Perkins, author of the Journey to the Pacific series, will hold a book signing on October 18, 2025, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Frankfurt Trade Fair Grounds during Frankfurter Buchmesse. The signing highlights Perkins’s three-volume saga — One Man’s Quest; The Emancipation of William Jones Jr.; and Finding Love in the Trenches — and coincides with the global publishing community’s annual gathering from October 15 to 19.

Perkins’s first volume, One Man’s Quest, follows George Seevers, an Illinois orphan who dreams of the Pacific Ocean. Raised in an orphanage and denied formal schooling, George learns to read, flees west at fifteen, and pursues steady work and family life across Rapid City, Cheyenne, and ultimately eastern Washington. Years later, a journey to Cannon Beach, Oregon, fulfills his long-held desire to see Haystack Rock and taste the ocean’s salt, closing a circle of longing and perseverance.

The second volume, The Emancipation of William Jones Jr., centers on a young boy removed from an abusive home and placed with relatives in Rawlings, Washington. The narrative traces William’s difficult beginnings, his struggle to trust, and the slow-building confidence that allows him to grow and connect with family and community.

Together with Finding Love in the Trenches, Perkins’s trilogy addresses themes of survival, family bonds, migration, and personal redemption. The books are grounded in place-based detail and character-driven storytelling that reflect Perkins’s own familiarity with the Pacific Northwest.

Judith A. Perkins was raised in Portland, Oregon. After a period of work and family life in Tacoma, Washington, she and her husband retired in 2000 and traveled the United States by motorhome, visiting all lower 48 states. Perkins now divides her time between summers in Tacoma and winters in Yuma, Arizona. Her lived experience in the region informs the settings and sensibilities of the Journey to the Pacific books.

The book signing will be held in Hall 5.1 D59 at the Frankfurt Trade Fair Grounds. Attendees at Frankfurter Buchmesse are invited to meet Perkins, obtain signed copies, and engage briefly about the series. The event forms part of the fair’s rich program of author appearances, rights negotiations, and cultural exchange.

Wilma Cotten presents “Is the Swing High or Low?” and discusses her daughter’s struggle with bipolar disorder during a book signing at Frankfurter Buchmesse on October 19, 2025.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 20th Oct 2025 – Wilma Cotten, author of the memoir Is the Swing High or Low?: Living with Someone with Bipolar Disorder, will host a book signing at the Frankfurter Buchmesse. The signing, scheduled for 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on October 19 at the Frankfurt Trade Fair Grounds, brings a personal narrative of caregiving, loss, and resilience to one of the world’s most influential publishing events. The Frankfurter Buchmesse convenes publishing experts, creative professionals, authors, journalists, and culture enthusiasts from around the world to exchange ideas, negotiate rights, and spotlight new work. Cotten’s appearance situates family-centered mental health discourse within that international forum, offering attendees a chance to engage directly with an author who experienced the complexities of caregiving across medical, legal, and social dimensions.

Cotten’s memoir accounts years of caregiving for her daughter, Alisa, who struggled with bipolar disorder and later turned to drugs as a form of self-medication. The book traces Cotten’s efforts to secure counseling, medication, and rehabilitation services, and documents the limits of available support systems. It frames mental health conditions as medical illnesses that demand early recognition, sustained treatment plans, and community support.

The memoir addresses a range of real-world consequences that can accompany untreated or undertreated mood disorders, including legal entanglements, property loss, and family trauma. Cotten describes encounters with the criminal justice system, efforts to access mental health services, and the eventual, tragic loss of her daughter to violence. The narrative also recounts the personal toll exacted on a caregiver, including job loss, displacement, and ongoing symptoms of post-traumatic stress.

Is the Swing High or Low? is positioned as a resource for family members, clinicians, and advocates seeking clearer pathways to diagnosis and sustained treatment. The book emphasizes symptom recognition and practical steps families can pursue to obtain comprehensive care. Cotten’s account invites healthcare professionals and policymakers to consider the systemic gaps that complicate long-term recovery for people living with severe mental illness.

The book signing at Frankfurter Buchmesse will give attendees an opportunity to obtain signed copies and to hear Cotten’s reflections on caregiving, advocacy, and healing. Attendance is open to registered fair visitors; credentialed media should request interview access and press materials from Explora Books Ltd. The event aligns with the fair’s role as an international hub for new titles and cross-sector conversation, positioning Cotten’s memoir within conversations about public health, social services, and family support networks.

Celebrated author A. Ben Bacon will be featured at the prestigious Frankfurter Buchmesse 2025, hosting an exclusive book signing for his latest spiritual thriller, The Coming, on October 18, 2025, from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM at the Frankfurt Trade Fair Grounds.

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 20th Oct 2025 – Frankfurt International Book Fair, recognized as the world’s leading fair for the print and digital content industries, attracts publishing experts, authors, journalists, and culture enthusiasts from across the globe.

“The Coming” reimagines the timeless Nativity story, introducing a contemporary setting and interesting supernatural elements. Set in 1983, the narrative follows Joseph (Joe) Everlasting, who, amid a deadly snowstorm on a SW Colorado mountain highway, rescues Mareilene (Mary) Johnson, pregnant with twins destined to become God’s Saviors. Bacon’s novel combines spiritual drama with suspenseful thriller elements, offering readers a modern exploration of faith, family, and the eternal struggle between good and evil.

Key themes in “The Coming” include:

Faith and Redemption: The story highlights Joseph’s cautious belief in his divine mission to protect God’s twin saviors, depicting a nuanced exploration of spiritual devotion and moral courage.

The Battle Between Good and Evil: Bacon presents a vivid conflict between divine forces, represented by Joseph and his family, and the Prince of Darkness with his minions.

Family and Sacrifice: Central to the narrative is Joseph’s unwavering commitment to Mary and their children, underscoring the sacrifices necessary to fulfill a higher purpose.

By merging timeless religious motifs with modern storytelling, The Coming speaks to a broad audience, particularly contemporary readers seeking narratives that resonate with both spiritual and thrilling dimensions. The novel’s approach provides an accessible yet deep meditation on love, courage, and the responsibilities that accompany divine destiny.

Bacon’s book signing at the Frankfurt International Book Fair gives a unique opportunity for attendees to meet the author, discuss the inspirations behind The Coming, and obtain signed copies of the novel. This event coincides with the fair’s mission to celebrate creativity and knowledge exchange across the global publishing industry.

The Frankfurter Buchmesse, held from October 15 to 19, 2025, remains an essential platform for the international publishing community, providing a dynamic environment for networking, literary discovery, and cultural exchange.

Eighty years ago, as the world recovered from one of the bloodiest conflicts in human history, the United Nations was born to maintain international peace and security and promote international cooperation.

It has served as a key pillar for the post-World War II (WWII) global order till this day – in spite of the mounting challenges to its effectiveness from rising nationalism and unilateralism across the globe.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the UN, China’s Wuhan University and Egypt’s Benha University held an event in the city of Wuhan on October 18. Titled “The 80th anniversary of the UN: World order, international law and the future of multilateralism,” the event saw officials, scholars and legal experts from all over the world discuss the challenges and the road ahead.

As Miguel de Serpa Soares, former UN Under-Secretary-General for Legal Affairs, said in his keynote speech, the UN represents a fundamental change in the concept of international security. Peace is not forged by the balance of power, but governed by the rule of law. The conduct of state is governed by norm, not by might.

However, 80 years of norm and rule building is now under serious threat. With the rise of unilateralism in international politics, economy and military relationships, the world is on the brink of returning to the bygone era of great power politics that led to the deaths of millions.

In China’s case, there are constant efforts to undermine a cornerstone of its sovereignty – the Taiwan question.

A series of actions have been emboldening the separatists on the island and causing rising tension in the region. They include moves like the “Taiwan International Solidarity Act” passed by the U.S. and unilateral attempts to change the status of China’s Taiwan region – according it de facto “independence” without officially recognizing it.

Zhao Shitong, Vice Minister of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council, said challenges to UN General Assembly Resolution 2758, which established the representatives of the People’s Republic of China as the only lawful representatives of China to the UN, not only challenge China’s core interest but the legal foundation of international law.

The UN needs to change. Huang Jin, President of the Chinese Society of International Law and senior humanities and social sciences professor of Wuhan University, said the UN is largely a  product of its time. Its operation and rules reflect the post-WWII structure.

The voice of the developing countries was neither prominent nor treated as an urgency at that time. As the world progresses, the UN needs to improve its operation and update its priorities and mission to make sure it can maintain and enlarge its influence in this tumultuous world that desperately needs the pillar of multilateralism to remain firm and powerful.

However, there are things that are and should remain unchanged – the fundamental commitment to peace, sincerity to cooperation, and respect for the core interest and equality of all nations.

As the UN steers through this volatile time, it needs to be strengthened so that it includes more voices from the Global South, addresses the ongoing conflicts between nations, and resists the erosion of international norms.

Multilateralism won’t survive on rhetoric. It needs real actions by all those who believe in it.

Salt Lake City, Utah — Thousands of homebuyers are finding themselves in limbo as the ongoing federal government shutdown halts new flood insurance policies from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). With hurricane season still active across much of the country, many buyers in flood-prone regions are now scrambling to secure coverage before closing on their homes.

The federal government officially shut down on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass a funding bill — suspending operations at multiple agencies, including FEMA and NOAA, and pausing the issuance and renewal of NFIP flood policies. The timing has created a ripple effect in coastal and flood-zone markets across the U.S., where lenders often require active flood coverage before approving mortgages.

During the lapse, companies like FloodPrice.com — which normally allow homeowners to compare NFIP and private flood insurance options side by side — can only provide quotes from private flood insurers. These private carriers continue to issue new and renewal policies while FEMA’s NFIP program remains offline.

“Homebuyers who expected to rely on the NFIP may now find their financing or closings delayed unless they turn to private flood options,” said Brian, spokesperson for FloodPrice.com. “We’re seeing increased demand in many states, where thousands of NFIP-backed policies exist, and private policies are becoming the only viable option during this lapse.”

According to FEMA, more than 4.7 million Americans depend on the NFIP for flood protection — and roughly 1.8 million of those policyholders are in Florida alone. While existing NFIP policies remain active, the shutdown means no new policies or renewals can be processed until Congress restores funding. NOAA, which supports flood forecasting and mapping, has also limited operations, creating further uncertainty for risk assessments and new development approvals in flood zones.

A Temporary Pause, but Real-World Consequences

Industry experts warn that even a short NFIP lapse can have major effects on real estate transactions and local economies. During previous shutdowns, the National Association of Realtors estimated that up to 40,000 home sales per month could be delayed or canceled due to flood insurance lapses.

For now, private flood insurers remain fully operational, providing a much-needed safety net. FloodPrice.com continues to help homeowners explore private flood insurance options online — offering coverage from top-rated carriers and shopping for the lowest available prices among its network of insurers.

Even as Washington works toward a funding resolution, flood risk doesn’t pause. Homebuyers in affected areas should act quickly to ensure they have coverage in place before closing.
