United States, 14th May 2026 – Paramedical tattoo specialist and educator Jayd Hernandez has been selected as a featured speaker at the Be+Well Conference 2026, one of the beauty industry’s leading national events, taking place June 27 through 29, 2026, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
The Be+Well Conference brings together thousands of beauty professionals, educators, med spa owners, and industry leaders from across the United States to explore emerging trends, business growth opportunities, and innovations shaping the future of aesthetics.
Hernandez will lead two educational sessions during the conference.
Her first presentation, “The Hidden Goldmine in Beauty Services: Paramedical Tattooing for Scars, Confidence, and Cashflow,” will take place on Sunday, June 28, from 12:45 PM to 2:00 PM in Room N113. The session will explore why paramedical tattooing is rapidly emerging as a high demand, high margin service for beauty businesses, particularly in cases where lasers, chemical peels, and microneedling are unable to fully address scars or skin tone irregularities.
Her second session, “Steal My Secret: The Client Experience That Sells My Beauty Services For Me,” will take place on Monday, June 29, from 12:45 PM to 2:00 PM in Room N110, focusing on how client experience and review driven trust can help beauty professionals increase bookings and grow their businesses without relying on aggressive sales tactics.
Hernandez is nationally recognized for her work in hyper realistic 3D areola and nipple tattooing, particularly for breast cancer survivors following mastectomy. With more than a decade of experience and over 1,000 restorative procedures performed, her work bridges medical precision and advanced aesthetic technique. She also leads one of the industry’s most comprehensive paramedical tattoo training programs, helping practitioners integrate medically responsible, client centered paramedical tattoo services into their practices.
Her inclusion as a featured Be+Well speaker reflects growing recognition of both paramedical tattooing as an important extension of modern aesthetics and Hernandez’s role in helping shape the future of corrective beauty services.

At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, to be held June 17–21 at the China National Convention Center (CNCC) in Beijing, Explora Books will present When the Radio Went Silent by James S. Wynecoop—a memoir that examines the quiet psychological toll of rural and tribal law enforcement.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 14th May 2026 – Wynecoop’s work moves beyond procedural accounts of policing to focus on the lived reality of service in isolated communities, where professional duty and personal life exist in close, often unavoidable proximity. In these settings, work does not end at the station door; it continues into the same neighborhoods, roads, and homes that are shared with family and community members.
Rather than centering dramatic incidents, the memoir focuses on the steady accumulation of responsibility that defines long-term service. Wynecoop reflects on this reality through grounded observation, including the blurred boundaries between officer and family life, where public duty and private identity often intersect.
“The weight doesn’t live in the uniform,” Wynecoop said. “It settles into you. Into your shoulders. Your sleep. Your patience. It shows up in the way silence feels heavier than noise and how crowds start to exhaust you even when nothing is wrong.”
The book situates these experiences within a broader discussion of first responder well-being, highlighting the long-term emotional demands placed on those in law enforcement, EMS, fire services, and military roles. It also addresses the concept of ongoing vigilance and the difficulty of separating occupational stress from personal life once the shift ends.
Wynecoop draws on decades of experience in law enforcement and public service. His writing is direct and observational, shaped by years of responding to situations that do not always resolve cleanly or fit familiar narratives of resolution. This perspective informs his exploration of how duty, family, and personal resilience converge under sustained pressure.
In addition to its narrative content, When the Radio Went Silent includes a dedicated section on seeking support, along with practical resources for first responders and their families. The book emphasizes the importance of acknowledging psychological strain and encourages open access to support systems across emergency service professions.
The memoir ultimately presents a sustained reflection on service and its human cost, offering insight into the realities of work that continues beyond formal duty hours and into everyday life. It contributes to ongoing conversations about mental health awareness and support structures within first responder communities.
At the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair, Explora Books will showcase the title as part of its international presentation of works that explore lived experience, public service, and contemporary social realities.
When the Radio Went Silent is available through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other major retailers. For further information, visit https://jamesscottwynecoop.com.

A groundbreaking, evidence-based model aims to close literacy gaps, strengthen compliance, and improve outcomes for students with disabilities across the United States
United States, 14th May 2026 — Dr. Mary Gene Pacut, an instructional leadership specialist in special education and early literacy systems, has unveiled a comprehensive national framework designed to transform inclusive early literacy instruction and Individualized Education Program (IEP) alignment in Kindergarten through Grade 5 (K–5) education.
Despite decades of federal mandates such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), students with disabilities continue to lag significantly behind their peers in reading proficiency. National data show persistent disparities, underscoring the urgent need for systemic instructional reform and better alignment between policy compliance and classroom practice.
“Early literacy is the foundation of lifelong success,” said Dr. Pacut. “If we fail to equip students, especially those with disabilities, with strong reading skills early on, we risk limiting their academic achievement, career opportunities, and participation in society. This framework is designed to ensure that every child receives the instruction they need to succeed.”
A New Vision for Inclusive Literacy Instruction
At the core of Dr. Pacut’s framework is the integration of inclusive education, structured literacy, and IEP-aligned instruction into a cohesive system that bridges the gap between compliance and meaningful student outcomes.
The model is built on three foundational pillars:
Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction The framework emphasizes structured literacy grounded in the science of reading. This approach includes explicit, systematic instruction in phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension components proven to significantly improve reading outcomes, particularly for students with learning disabilities.
IEP-Aligned Instructional Design Rather than treating IEPs as static compliance documents, the framework transforms them into active instructional tools. Teachers are guided to translate IEP goals into daily lesson objectives, ensuring consistent delivery of individualized support and continuous progress monitoring.
Educator Capacity Building Recognizing that teacher effectiveness is a critical factor in student success, the framework prioritizes sustained professional development, instructional coaching, and collaborative learning communities to strengthen educator expertise.
Together, these pillars create a unified system that supports both instructional rigor and policy compliance while promoting equitable access to high-quality education.
From Policy to Practice: A Comprehensive Implementation Guide
The guide outlines a phased implementation model that includes:
Needs assessment and system evaluation
Framework design and resource mapping
Pilot implementation with coaching and monitoring
Scaling through training and cross-district collaboration
This approach aligns with federal education guidance and emphasizes continuous improvement through data-driven decision-making.
“The goal is not just to introduce a new model, but to ensure it is implemented effectively and sustainably,” Dr. Pacut explained. “We must move beyond one-time training and toward systems that support ongoing growth and refinement.”
Addressing a Critical National Challenge
The urgency of this initiative is underscored by national education data. According to the National Center for Education Statistics, students with disabilities score significantly lower in reading compared to their peers, with gaps that persist across grade levels.
These disparities are often linked to inconsistent implementation of evidence-based literacy practices and insufficient alignment between IEP goals and classroom instruction.
Dr. Pacut’s framework directly addresses these challenges by:
Embedding literacy instruction within IEP goals
Standardizing instructional practices across classrooms
Strengthening collaboration between general and special education teachers
Utilizing data monitoring tools to track progress and inform instruction
The result is a system that not only meets federal requirements but also delivers measurable improvements in student learning outcomes.
Expected Impact on Students and Educators
The implementation of this framework is expected to produce significant, long-term benefits, including:
Improved Reading Proficiency: Targeted, evidence-based instruction leads to stronger literacy outcomes for students with disabilities.
Enhanced IEP Effectiveness: Alignment with daily instruction ensures that IEPs drive meaningful progress.
Increased Teacher Effectiveness: Professional development and coaching enhance instructional quality and confidence.
Stronger Policy Compliance: Integrated systems ensure adherence to IDEA and ESSA requirements.
System-Level Improvement: Data-driven practices foster continuous improvement and accountability.
By addressing both instructional and systemic factors, the framework offers a comprehensive solution to longstanding educational inequities.
Scalable, Sustainable, and Future-Ready
A key strength of the PACUT framework is its scalability. Designed for implementation across diverse educational settings, the model includes:
Train-the-trainer systems to build internal capacity
Digital platforms for resource access and data tracking
Cross-district collaboration networks
Integration with existing school systems and policies
These features ensure that the framework can be adapted to meet the needs of schools, districts, and states while maintaining fidelity and effectiveness
About Dr. Mary Gene Pacut
Dr. Mary Gene Pacut is a highly accomplished educator and instructional leader with over 11 years of teaching experience, including roles as a Kindergarten teacher in the Philippines and a Special Education teacher in Dallas Independent School District.
She is widely recognized for her contributions to early literacy and special education, having received multiple awards, including Most Outstanding Kindergarten Teacher for three consecutive years. She is also a sought-after speaker and mentor, delivering workshops on IEP development, differentiated instruction, and inclusive teaching practices.
Dr. Pacut’s work is grounded in a commitment to educational equity and excellence, with a focus on improving outcomes for all learners through evidence-based practices and innovative instructional strategies.
Media Education Leaders
As education systems across the United States continue to deal with achievement gaps and evolving policy demands, Dr. Pacut’s framework offers a timely and practical solution.
“This is more than a framework, it’s a call to action,” said Dr. Pacut. “We have the research, the policy support, and the instructional tools. Now is the time to align them into a system that truly works for every student.
Education leaders, policymakers, and practitioners are encouraged to adopt and adapt the PACUT framework to drive meaningful change in their schools and communities.

San Antonio, Texas, United States, 14th May 2026 – San Antonio-based specialty coffee company Café Del Llano is continuing its expansion across Texas and online markets while introducing American consumers to authentic Colombian coffee culture inspired by the traditions of Los Llanos, Colombia. Founded by entrepreneur Jason Torres, the growing coffee brand combines premium Colombian coffee, luxury branding, and cultural authenticity while building momentum through retail partnerships, e-commerce sales, and Amazon distribution.
Based in San Antonio, Café Del Llano was created with a vision of connecting consumers in the United States to the richness and heritage of Colombian coffee traditions through premium specialty coffee products rooted in authenticity, resilience, and craftsmanship.
The company’s story reflects an uncommon entrepreneurial journey shaped by discipline, persistence, and cultural pride. Founder Jason Torres currently works full-time in the oilfield chemical industry in Texas, managing operations in a demanding and high-pressure environment where leadership, accountability, and consistency are essential every day. Prior to his work in the energy sector, Torres also served as a Spanish analytical linguist supporting the Department of Justice.
Despite balancing long shifts and a demanding career, Torres continued pursuing his entrepreneurial vision of building a premium coffee brand that would represent more than just a beverage product.
That vision ultimately became Café Del Llano.
Inspired by Colombia’s deep-rooted coffee culture and the identity of the Los Llanos region, Torres sought to build a company centered on premium quality, cultural connection, and meaningful storytelling. Rather than positioning the brand as simply another coffee label entering the specialty market, Café Del Llano was developed to reflect resilience, family values, heritage, and the pursuit of long-term legacy.
“Café Del Llano was created to bring the richness of Colombian coffee culture to the United States while building something meaningful through hard work, authenticity, and vision,” said Jason Torres, Founder of Café Del Llano. “This brand represents more than coffee — it represents heritage, resilience, and the pursuit of the American dream.”
The company focuses on premium Colombian coffee sourced directly from Colombia while emphasizing freshness, consistency, and authenticity throughout the production process. The brand’s visual identity and product positioning combine modern luxury branding with a strong cultural foundation inspired by the traditions and character of Los Llanos, Colombia.
As Café Del Llano continues expanding its presence in the specialty coffee market, the company is growing through multiple channels, including retail partnerships throughout Texas, direct-to-consumer online sales, and Amazon distribution.
The company’s flagship product, the Café Del Llano Premium Colombian Coffee 1 lb Medium Roast Single Origin (Ground), is currently available through Amazon and features 100% Colombian Arabica beans sourced from select regions across Colombia. The product includes the Castillo coffee variety, known for consistency and strength, and is developed with a medium roast profile designed to deliver chocolate and caramel notes alongside a smooth, full-bodied finish.
The coffee is crafted to provide dependable flavor consistency while maintaining a clean and balanced taste profile without harshness. The product is packaged to preserve freshness and is designed to perform across multiple brewing methods, including drip coffee makers, pour-over brewing, French press, and espresso preparation.
The coffee’s branding and inspiration are closely tied to Meta, Colombia, and the broader Los Llanos region, which plays a central role in the company’s identity and cultural storytelling.
What continues to distinguish Café Del Llano is the contrast behind the company’s growth story.
While many emerging consumer brands are built through large startup funding rounds or full-time entrepreneurial teams, Café Del Llano has largely been developed independently while Torres simultaneously maintained a demanding full-time career in the oilfield industry.
From product development and packaging design to website creation, retail outreach, and e-commerce growth, the company has been built through persistence, self-belief, and long-term vision.
The brand’s expansion comes amid continued consumer interest in specialty coffee products, premium sourcing, and culturally authentic food and beverage experiences. By combining Colombian heritage with premium positioning and modern branding, Café Del Llano aims to establish itself as an emerging name within the competitive specialty coffee industry.
The company also continues building its digital presence through multiple online platforms, including its official website, Amazon storefront, and social media channels focused on engaging consumers interested in premium Colombian coffee culture and specialty coffee experiences.
Looking ahead, Café Del Llano plans to continue expanding its retail footprint while growing national brand recognition through e-commerce and strategic partnerships.
At its core, the company remains focused on the belief that hard work, authenticity, culture, and long-term vision can create something meaningful regardless of where the journey begins.
For Café Del Llano, the brand represents more than coffee alone.
It represents ambition, identity, entrepreneurship, and the process of building a lasting legacy one bag at a time.

Lightspeed X store owners can now ask plain-English questions about their live POS data — sales, inventory, trends, and margins — and get instant, accurate answers. No reports. No spreadsheets. No waiting.
San Jose, CA, United States, 14th May 2026 – 24Seven Commerce, a leading provider of retail integration and middleware solutions, today announced the launch of Retail Advisor by Octopus Bridge, an AI-powered retail intelligence assistant built specifically for Lightspeed X store owners and managers. The tool is available now with straightforward, accessible pricing designed for independent and multi-location retailers.
Designed exclusively for Lightspeed X users, Retail Advisor connects directly to a store’s live POS data and enables owners to ask natural language questions about inventory, sales performance, reorder needs, and business trends — receiving accurate, data-backed answers in seconds. No reports to build. No spreadsheets to maintain. No analyst required.
The average brick-and-mortar retailer spends 4+ hours every week pulling and reading operational reports — time that could be spent serving customers and growing the business. Retail Advisor reduces that to seconds.
The Problem: Data Without Access
Modern retail POS systems capture enormous amounts of operational data — every sale, every inventory movement, every customer transaction. Yet for most independent and multi-location retailers, accessing meaningful insights from that data remains a slow, manual, and technically demanding process.
“Retailers are sitting on a goldmine of data every single day,” said the team at 24Seven Commerce. “The problem has never been the data itself — it’s always been the time and technical effort required to get a straight answer from it. Retail Advisor eliminates that barrier entirely.”
The Solution: Ask Your Store Anything
Retail Advisor by Octopus Bridge functions like a ChatGPT-style assistant — but one connected directly to a Lightspeed X store’s live data. Once onboarded, Lightspeed X store owners and managers can type any business question in plain English and receive an instant, accurate answer drawn directly from their own operational data. Setup takes under two minutes with no technical configuration required.
Example queries the system answers in real time:
“Which products will run out of stock before the weekend?”
“What is my best-selling category this month compared to last year?”
“Which SKUs have not sold in the past 60 days?”
“What is my gross margin on footwear this quarter?”
“Which store location is underperforming this week?”
Key Features and Capabilities
Plain-English Conversations: Store owners interact with their data using natural language — no technical training, no query language, no dashboard configuration required.
Built for Lightspeed X: Retail Advisor is designed and optimized specifically for Lightspeed X users — connecting directly to live store data with no migration, no additional hardware, and no IT involvement required.
Single and Multi-Location Support: Whether managing one store or a network of locations, Retail Advisor provides a unified view of operations across all sites in a single conversation.
Inventory and Reorder Intelligence: Automatically surfaces products trending upward but approaching low stock, enabling proactive reordering before stockouts occur.
Sales and Margin Analysis: Provides instant breakdowns of sales performance, category trends, and margin data by product, category, location, or time period.
Zero Setup Friction: Two-minute connection to existing POS system. No data migration. No new hardware. No IT involvement required.
Availability — Built for Lightspeed X
Retail Advisor by Octopus Bridge is available now for Lightspeed X store owners and managers. The platform is offered at competitive, transparent pricing tailored to the needs of independent and multi-location brick-and-mortar retailers — with a setup process that takes under two minutes and requires no technical resources.
The tool is currently available exclusively for Lightspeed X users. Support for additional POS platforms is planned for future releases.
24Seven Commerce is a retail technology company specializing in middleware integration and AI-powered tools for brick-and-mortar and omnichannel retailers. The company’s flagship platform, Octopus Bridge, connects leading POS systems — including Lightspeed, Retail Pro, CounterPoint, and Heartland Retail — with eCommerce platforms and marketplaces including Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, Amazon, eBay, and Walmart.

The new integration improves data quality by linking referee profiles across different sources.
Malta, 14th May 2026 — Scores24 announced the implementation of a new football-focused data integration system by linking referees between its internal database and the external provider Sportmonks. This update represents a significant advancement in the consistency and depth of the information available on the platform.
The system makes it possible to correctly identify and connect referee profiles using criteria such as first name, last name, and country, facilitating the unification of data coming from different sources. As a result, users can access more structured and reliable information about the referees participating in each match.
Improvement in Data Quality and Consistency
The integration with Sportmonks not only expands the volume of available information, but also optimizes the accuracy of the data displayed in real time. This reduces duplication and improves consistency within the referee database.
“A solid data infrastructure is key to delivering reliable statistics. This integration allows us to take another step toward a more complete and consistent experience,” commented the Scores24 team.
Main Features of the Integration:
Automatic linking of referees between databases
Improved accuracy and consistency of information
Access to more complete referee profiles
Reduction of duplicates in the database
Optimization of the football data system
With this update, Scores24 continues strengthening its technological infrastructure and reaffirms its commitment to the quality of sports information provided on a global level.
