Schuster Law Expands Workers’ Compensation Representation in Delaware County

MEDIA, PA - December 22, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Schuster Law has announced an expanded focus on workers’ compensation representation for employees across Delaware County, Pennsylvania. The firm’s practice assists individuals who have been injured in the workplace or developed occupational illnesses while performing their job duties.
“Workplace injuries can occur in any industry, and each case requires a thorough understanding of Pennsylvania’s workers’ compensation procedures,” said Ken R. Schuster, Esq., founder and managing attorney of Schuster Law. “Our work centers on ensuring that injured employees receive accurate information about their legal rights and the claims process under state law.”

Established in 1998, Schuster Law provides legal services in civil and employment-related injury cases from its office in Media, Pennsylvania. The firm represents workers from manufacturing, healthcare, construction, transportation, and service industries throughout Delaware County and neighboring regions. Its attorneys handle both initial claims and appeals involving denied or disputed benefits, focusing on compliance with Pennsylvania’s Workers’ Compensation Act.
The Pennsylvania workers’ compensation system provides wage replacement and medical benefits to employees injured on the job. Schuster Law assists clients in filing claims for injuries that include falls, repetitive motion disorders, machinery accidents, and exposure-related illnesses. The firm reviews accident reports, employer communications, and medical evaluations to confirm eligibility and ensure timely submission of required documentation. Attorneys also represent clients in hearings before the Pennsylvania Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and the Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board when disputes arise over benefit amounts or coverage.
In addition to representing employees in standard benefit claims, Schuster Law handles cases involving third-party liability when a non-employer’s negligence contributes to an injury. These situations can include defective machinery, unsafe premises, or negligent subcontractors. The firm evaluates whether additional civil claims are warranted while maintaining compliance with the exclusive-remedy provisions of Pennsylvania law.
The firm also advises on occupational disease cases, including those related to long-term exposure to hazardous materials, repetitive strain, or workplace stressors. In these matters, attorneys coordinate medical documentation to establish causation and address insurer challenges to diagnosis or coverage. Schuster Law ensures that evidence meets the statutory criteria for occupational disease claims as defined by Pennsylvania regulations.
Schuster Law’s representation includes assisting with wage-loss benefits, medical expense reimbursement, specific-loss benefits for permanent injuries, and vocational rehabilitation issues. The firm works with clients and medical providers to track treatment progress and document ongoing disability when required by insurers or the courts. This documentation often determines whether temporary benefits are converted to permanent disability status or whether modified-duty assignments are appropriate.
When a claim is denied, Schuster Law provides appeal representation before administrative judges and higher review boards. The appeal process requires a detailed record, including medical testimony, employer reports, and prior administrative decisions. The firm’s attorneys ensure that procedural timelines are met and that all relevant evidence is properly presented for review.
The firm also offers guidance for employers and employees seeking to understand how workers’ compensation interacts with other benefit systems, such as Social Security Disability or unemployment compensation. This coordination helps prevent benefit overlap or reduction while maintaining compliance with statutory requirements.
Ken R. Schuster, Esq., brings more than three decades of legal experience to the firm’s workers’ compensation practice. His background includes litigation in Pennsylvania state and federal courts, focusing on personal injury and employment-related cases. Under his leadership, Schuster Law continues to maintain a focus on professional integrity, factual accuracy, and procedural precision in all workers’ compensation matters.
From its Media office, Schuster Law serves clients throughout Delaware County, including Chester, Upper Darby, Springfield, and surrounding municipalities. The firm’s expansion of workers’ compensation representation underscores its continued role in helping local employees navigate Pennsylvania’s complex claims process and safeguard their workplace rights.

Raydium Foundation and Utherverse Finalize Agreement That Resolves Trademark Conflict, Which Included CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko

NEW WESTMINSTER, BC - December 22, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Utherverse®️, described by Business Wire as “one of the largest metaverse platforms in the world,” announced today that a final deal has been signed between the company and the Raydium Foundation. This organization supports Raydium, a major automated market maker and liquidity platform on the Solana blockchain. While the specific terms of the agreement remain confidential, the parties have outlined immediate operational steps that reflect the agreement’s intent and scope.
As part of the agreement, Utherverse®️, owner of the “RAYS” trademark, has granted a license to Raydium, resolving the conflict created by the similarity between digital asset symbols and the uncertainty it posed for exchanges, listing services, and token holders. Utherverse®️ has also increased liquidity support for its digital asset by adding new capital and expanding liquidity pools, the on-chain token reserves that enable direct trading between assets. This agreement includes a new pool that allows users to purchase Utherverse’s digital asset directly with Raydium’s digital asset.
These trades occur on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), which are on-chain platforms that enable token swaps without intermediaries, meaning third parties that would normally execute or control trades, all operating on the Solana blockchain, a high-performance network designed for fast, low-cost decentralized transactions.
This agreement also coincides with Utherverse’s dismissal of lawsuits previously filed against CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko. The litigation and its resolution have contributed to broader industry clarity around how token symbols and trademark rights intersect across the digital-asset landscape.
“We are pleased to have reached a constructive resolution that supports the Radium and Utherverse®️ token holders, as well as organizations participating in the Solana ecosystem,” said Brian Shuster, CEO of Utherverse®️.

“As Web3 matures, legal infrastructure will be essential for reducing regulatory uncertainty and unlocking value for builders and users,” said Aaron Wright, Professor at Cardozo School of Law and Co-Founder of OpenLaw (Decrypt, September 2022, SourceOpens). Furthermore, he said, “We need frameworks that provide clarity and flexibility so DAOs can experiment while protecting participants and staying compliant" (Bankless Podcast, Jan. 2023).
This development comes amid heightened scrutiny of trademark governance, token identity standards, and liquidity-pool transparency, issues that have gained greater visibility across blockchain communities following recent regulatory commentary and shifts in the broader digital-asset market.

Milestone Church Haslet to Hold Annual “Prepare” Event

Haslet, Texas - December 22, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Milestone Church will hold its annual Prepare event from January 5–7, 2026, bringing three days of prayer, fasting, and worship services to its campus in Haslet and livestreamed to participants across the country. Taking place each January, Prepare marks a unified beginning to the year for the Milestone Church community, helping attendees focus on God’s direction for their lives, families, workplaces, and the world around them.
Prepare is structured around nightly services featuring nationally recognized guest speakers, times of worship, and intentional moments of prayer. This year’s speakers include Tom Mullins, the founder of Christ Fellowship Church and Place of Hope; Jabin Chavez, pastor of City Light Church and a recognized leadership voice in ministry; and Dr. Dharius Daniels, a pastor, author, and communicator known for helping others live out their purpose. Each speaker will share timely messages designed to guide the church body into the new year with clarity and spiritual strength.
Nightly services at the Haslet campus will have live worship followed by a broadcast message from the central Keller campus and shown live on-site, with doors opening at 6:00 PM for pre-service prayer followed by services from 7:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Online access will also be available each evening for those joining remotely. In addition, Milestone Church invites participants to join a daily ten-minute online prayer session at noon, streamed live on Milestone Live, Facebook, and YouTube, and to follow along with daily emailed devotionals provided during the three-day event.
Located at 12300 US-287 in Haslet, the campus will be fully engaged throughout the Prepare experience, creating an environment for individuals and families to gather in worship, prayer, and fasting. Participants will receive printed Prayer Guides to help focus their prayers, and can also visit the in-campus Prayer Wall to write down personal requests during the event.
Prepare is open to the public and does not require advance registration. There is no cost to attend, and the event is accessible for people of all ages and backgrounds. The three-day fast begins on January 5 and concludes at the end of the final service on January 7. While there is no specific fasting requirement, participants are encouraged to choose a meaningful form of fasting—whether dietary or digital—that will help eliminate distractions and create space to hear from God.
Prepare is a cornerstone event for Milestone Church each year. With thousands attending across all campuses and online, the event has become a rhythm of renewal and alignment that many look forward to as they set spiritual priorities for the coming year. The Haslet campus plays a key role in expanding the reach of this experience to the growing number of families and individuals in the north Fort Worth area who are part of the Milestone community.
During Prepare, Milestone staff and volunteers will be available at the Haslet campus to assist attendees and help create a welcoming, distraction-free environment for worship and reflection. Families with young children will be able to utilize the children’s ministry during evening services so that parents and guardians can participate fully in the event.
The goal of Prepare is not just to begin the year with good intentions, but to activate faith, build community, and lay the foundation for what God wants to do in the lives of those attending. Through fasting, prayer, and unified worship, Milestone Church encourages participants to approach 2026 with spiritual focus and a heart open to transformation.
Additional information about Prepare, including livestream links and daily content, can be found on the Milestone Church website.


Milestone Church is a life-giving, Bible-centered, and Spirit-filled church with campuses in Keller, Haslet, McKinney, and Argyle, TX.

Workers Compensation Lawyer Coalition Publishes Educational Guide for Sandy Springs Workplace Injury Claims

ATLANTA, GA - December 22, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Workers Compensation Lawyer Coalition has published a comprehensive educational resource addressing workplace injury claims in Sandy Springs, Georgia. The guide examines procedural requirements under the Georgia Workers' Compensation Act and provides detailed information about claim filing deadlines, benefit calculations, and dispute resolution processes affecting injured workers across the region.
The publication responds to evolving workplace injury patterns throughout Georgia and addresses common procedural obstacles that workers' comp lawyers encounter when assisting clients through the claims process. The coalition developed the resource after identifying gaps in public understanding of workers' compensation procedures and requirements.

"Understanding claim procedures and deadlines is essential for Sandy Springs workers who suffer workplace injuries," stated a spokesperson for Workers' Compensation Lawyers Coalition Sandy Springs. "Many injured workers lose their right to compensation simply because they didn't know when or how to file claims. This guide provides the procedural information that workers need to protect their legal rights under Georgia law."
The educational guide covers multiple categories of workplace injuries that Sandy Springs workers' comp lawyers commonly handle. These include repetitive stress injuries from office work, construction accidents, healthcare worker injuries from patient handling, and occupational diseases from chemical exposure. Each injury type involves distinct medical documentation requirements and legal considerations under Georgia workers' compensation law.
The Georgia Workers' Compensation Act establishes specific timeframes that injured workers must follow to secure benefits. The educational resource details the 30-day reporting deadline for workplace injuries and the one-year statute of limitations for filing formal workers' compensation claims. The guide also explains how maximum medical improvement determinations affect benefit calculations and when injured workers may need to pursue dispute resolution through the State Board of Workers' Compensation.
Industry-specific challenges receive particular attention in the publication. Construction workers in Sandy Springs face risks from falls and equipment accidents, while healthcare professionals encounter workplace injuries from patient lifting and needle sticks. Office workers increasingly report repetitive stress injuries and ergonomic-related conditions. Each industry presents unique documentation challenges that workers' compensation attorneys must address when filing compensation claims.
The resource provides detailed information about Georgia workers' compensation procedures relevant to multiple employment sectors. Manufacturing workers, postal service employees, and federal workers each face distinct procedural requirements when filing workplace injury claims. The guide addresses these variations and explains how different employment classifications affect workers' comp benefits.
Workers Compensation Lawyer Coalition represents a network of law firms specializing in Georgia workers' compensation cases. The coalition handles workplace injury claims across construction, healthcare, manufacturing, postal services, and federal employment sectors. Through this educational initiative, the organization addresses the information gap that often prevents injured workers from successfully navigating the claims process.


The publication marks an expansion of the coalition's educational efforts throughout Sandy Springs and surrounding Georgia communities. By clarifying procedural requirements and deadlines, the resource aims to reduce the number of workers' compensation claims dismissed due to procedural errors.

India’s Global Capability Centers (GCC) Landscape Shifts to Emerging Enterprises with 610+ Centers Powering Growth, revealed in ANSR report

BENGALURU, KA - December 22, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
ANSR, the global leader in building Global Capability Centers (GCCs), is drawing attention to key insights from its Emerging Enterprises’ GCCs in India – Landscape Report 2025, which was published on the ANSR website in November. Developed with research support from Wizmatic, the report is a comprehensive study of one of the fastest-growing segments within the GCC ecosystem and examines how emerging enterprises are reshaping India’s role as a global capability hub. For a deeper understanding of what Global Capability Centers are and how enterprises are leveraging them worldwide, readers can explore ANSR’s insights hub at https://ansr.com/insights-overview/all-about-global-capability-centers/.
According to the report, GCCs established by high-growth, investor-backed, and digital-first enterprises have become a critical driver of enterprise transformation. As of September 30, 2025, more than 610 Emerging Enterprises operate GCCs in India, employing over 462,000 professionals and generating $14.23 billion in cumulative revenue for FY2025. These findings reinforce India’s position as a preferred global destination for companies seeking to scale product innovation, technology capabilities, and engineering excellence.

The report notes that Private Equity–backed organizations account for more than 64 percent of new GCCs established since 2020, underscoring the segment’s strategic importance. These centers are described as tightly aligned to capability-building mandates, often driving significant efficiency gains, improvements in product velocity, and better EBITDA outcomes. The study projects that Emerging Enterprise GCCs in India are expected to grow at an approximate 14 percent CAGR, with the total number of centers anticipated to cross 1,200 by 2030. The complete findings are presented in the Emerging Enterprise GCC in India Landscape Report 2025.
In terms of industry distribution, Technology and SaaS companies account for 56 percent of Emerging Enterprise GCCs, highlighting India’s strength in digital engineering and product-led capabilities. The report also points to growing adoption across Manufacturing and Industrial, Telecom, Media and Entertainment, and BFSI, where enterprises increasingly rely on India-based GCCs to run digital operations, modernization initiatives, and engineering-led transformation programs. This diversification indicates that the GCC model is being applied to a broader range of business functions and sectors than ever before.
The report further observes that Bengaluru remains the leading GCC hub, hosting more than 205 Emerging Enterprise GCCs and continuing to attract companies seeking deep talent pools and a dense innovation ecosystem. Hyderabad is identified as one of the fastest-growing GCC destinations, supported by infrastructure readiness, progressive policy frameworks, and a rapidly expanding technology workforce. In parallel, non-metro cities such as Coimbatore, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Trivandrum, Vizag, Jaipur, and Indore now account for roughly 14 percent of Emerging Enterprise GCCs, signaling the rise of emerging cities as high-quality, cost-effective hubs for specialized, domain-led teams.
Vikram Ahuja, Co-Founder, ANSR, commented: “Emerging Enterprises are redefining what it means to build a GCC. Their centers are lean, high-impact, and designed around digital engineering, data, AI, and core product capabilities, enabling global outcomes with remarkable agility. Unlike traditional large-scale models, their focus isn’t on size, but on capability creation, differentiation, and time-to-value. This democratization of the GCC model signals the next phase of India’s evolution as the world’s preferred destination for global capability. Innovation and impact are no longer defined by scale, but by intent, architecture, and execution -- and Emerging Enterprises are proving that.”
The report underlines the role of GCCs as strategic assets that help enterprises build resilience, accelerate innovation, and maintain competitiveness in an increasingly digital and global market. By enabling globally distributed teams to operate with unified governance, scalable operations, and strong alignment to enterprise strategy, Emerging Enterprise GCCs continue to serve as engines for long-term growth and transformation.

Crack'd Kitchen Explores Evolving Expectations for Catering in Andover, MA

December 22, 2025 - PRESSADVANTAGE - 
Local event dining in Andover continues to shift as workplaces, families, and community groups recalibrate what matters most in food service. Crack'd Kitchen is taking a close look at these changes, focusing on practical, guest-first expectations that increasingly shape catering decisions for meetings, celebrations, school-related gatherings, and seasonal events across the area.
Catering in Andover, MA, has long balanced convenience with quality, but recent patterns suggest a stronger emphasis on flexibility and clarity. Hosts increasingly want menus that fit tight schedules, varied appetites, and different levels of formality without turning a simple gathering into a complex production. For morning meetings, staff appreciations, and informal milestones, breakfast and brunch-style spreads and straightforward lunch options remain central to what many local organizers seek.
Workplace needs are also evolving. With hybrid schedules and more intentional in-person moments, corporate orders often prioritize food that supports connection without slowing down the day. Well-organized drop-off service, clear labeling, and easy-to-serve formats are becoming as important as the menu itself. In this environment, catering success is measured by smooth timing, minimal disruption, and a meal experience that feels like a thoughtful addition to the agenda rather than a logistical hurdle.
Dietary awareness continues to play a growing role in planning. More hosts aim to accommodate vegetarian preferences, gluten-aware choices, and common allergens while keeping the overall menu cohesive. This trend reflects both increased awareness and a desire to ensure everyone at the table feels considered. The expectation is not only variety but also straightforward communication about ingredients and preparation, especially for group orders where decisions are made quickly.
Seasonality is influencing choices in more subtle ways. Beyond traditional holiday gatherings, local organizers are leaning into lighter, fresh-forward menus during warmer months and more comfort-driven selections as the weather cools. The shift suggests a preference for menus that match the moment and complement the rhythm of the local calendar, including school cycles, community programming, and year-end workplace traditions.
Another evolving preference is the move toward right-sized ordering. Hosts are increasingly focused on selecting the correct amount and type of food for the occasion rather than aiming for excess. This approach aligns with broader concerns about waste and budget clarity. Clear portion guidance and practical menu structuring help reduce uncertainty, especially for frequent office orders and multi-department gatherings.
Service style expectations are also becoming more nuanced. Many events in Andover now fall into an in-between category: more planned than a casual pickup, less formal than a fully staffed function. The result is growing demand for catering in Andover, MA, that can scale from small team meals to larger community or business gatherings while still staying easy to manage. Simple buffet setups, individually packaged meals, and shareable platters each serve distinct needs, and hosts are increasingly comfortable choosing a mix of these formats within the same event framework.
Local identity remains important. Andover-area customers often value catering that feels tuned to the preferences of the region, including balanced comfort foods, approachable flavors, and crowd-friendly staples suited to varied age groups. That local sensibility can matter just as much as novelty, particularly for family events and community-centered occasions where familiarity and ease shape the guest experience.
Crack'd Kitchen’s review of these trends reflects a broader conversation happening across the town’s dining and event landscape. The goal is to understand how modern expectations intersect with the realities of smaller-scale catering, where reliability, food quality, and practical service design drive decision-making. The analysis highlights a clear theme: the most appreciated catering experiences often come from thoughtful execution of the basics, strong menu clarity, and consistent attention to the details that keep gatherings running smoothly.
As Andover continues to grow as a hub for professional life, family neighborhoods, and local programming, catering in Andover, MA, is likely to keep evolving toward flexible formats and guest-aware menus. Crack'd Kitchen’s perspective suggests that the future of local catering will be shaped less by spectacle and more by responsiveness to real-world hosting needs, from weekday meetings to seasonal community moments.
About Crack’d Kitchen:
Whether it’s freshly made breakfast, craft sandwiches, salads, or bowls, our menu is comfortable yet innovative. Our beverage program offers items such as smoothies and exceptional coffee products with proprietary blends.
We believe that operating at perfection is the most important element. Excellence must be achieved at all levels of the customer experience so that it will be shared with friends and family.


We are always concentrating our efforts and resources on strategic initiatives intended to enhance the experience for both our dine-in and take-out guests. This enhanced guest experience is enabled by technology and operational designs constructed to keep up with high transaction volumes and to deliver unrestrained production demand.
