Award-Winning Eco-Thriller “Rhino” Plunges Readers Into a Deadly Hunt for Love, Survival, and Justice

Award-Winning Eco-Thriller "Rhino" Plunges Readers Into a Deadly Hunt for Love, Survival, and Justice

Time is running out, and not just for Dr. Minh Tran. In Rhino, the electrifying eco-thriller from Canadian author Paul Smith, desperation propels a young scientist into Hanoi’s lethal underworld, where every choice could save a life, or destroy it. Recipient of the Literary Titan Book Award, Rhino delivers a taut, emotionally charged narrative that fuses environmental urgency with the raw stakes of human resilience.

When Linh Tran learns that her father, a respected Vietnamese oncologist, is secretly battling terminal cancer, she launches a desperate search for a cure, one as ancient as it is forbidden. Her quest drags her deep into the shadows of Vietnam’s illegal wildlife trade, ensnaring her in a bloody network of poachers, smugglers, and killers trafficking in extinction.

As the bodies mount and evidence disappears, a relentless inspector and a fervent conservationist close in from opposite sides. Stalked by unseen enemies and haunted by impossible choices, Linh is forced to confront the ultimate question: how far would you go to save someone you love?

In its review, Literary Titan praised Rhino as “a powerful and emotionally charged story… bold and uncomfortable in the best way,” noting its deft balance of suspense, moral complexity, and intimate human drama. “Smith writes with a quiet force,” the review states, “capturing the nuance of human vulnerability without overplaying the drama.”

With pacing as relentless as its stakes, Rhino immerses readers in a dangerous game where everyone is both hunter and hunted, and survival means crossing lines that can never be uncrossed.

Don’t miss the award-winning thriller that’s leaving readers breathless. Rhino is available now on Kindle and in paperback. It’s perfect for fans of gripping suspense, moral tension, and unforgettable characters. Step into the shadowy streets of Hanoi, where love and survival collide in a fight against extinction.

The apartment homes are all located around Downtown Los Angeles and are featured on the VF’s website – https://vf-developments.com/ and Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/vfdevelopments.

Axos Bank provided the takeout refinance loans for the five-property portfolio that totaled $7.8 million. The team of Michael Derk, Linsey Farrahi, Daizy Gomez, Zack Metzner of Marcus & Millichap Capital Corporation sourced the lender for the refinancing. Freedom Financial and First Entertainment were paid off in full with the new loans.

As a first-generation Asian American female and a leader and trendsetter in the Halloween costume and lingerie industry, Victoria Venice Vu has taken her passion and trend setting skills in fashion design and business and applied them to real estate development. In 2015, she founded and is Managing Partner of VF Developments, LLC.

VF Developments, LLC strives itself with strength, honor, and integrity to provide emerging neighborhoods throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties to develop Class “A” building and design finishes at affordable market rents to our new residents. VF Developments, LLC has acquired and transformed dozens of properties to throughout the region in high demand, gentrifying areas in Los Angeles and Orange Counties.

Victoria Vu, a renowned designer and Managing Partner of VF Developments, LLC carefully designed and restored the rental homes. Ms. Vu was formerly a leading Halloween costume designer and is a graduate of the prestigious Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. These luxury rental homes feature keyless entry door locks to spacious one-, two- and three- bedroom floor plans with newly modernized kitchens, bathrooms and in-unit washer and dryers. The kitchens boast white stone quartz countertops with brand new self-closing cabinetry and high-end stainless-steel Whirlpool refrigerators with matching gas cooktop with oven and microwave. Bathrooms have been enhanced with new bathtubs and glass shower doors with designer touches. The apartment homes are separately metered with 10 onsite parking spaces. All have Walk Scores of 85 out of 100 or better – a Very Walkable location so most errands can be accomplished on foot.

Ms. Vu noted “We have worked very hard to renovate these units to welcome our new incoming residents home. We enjoyed transforming these units into modern day living spaces. The team that completed the renovations on the units were entirely locally based minority vendors, employees, and contractors. Many were military veteran and women owned business. We are proud to create jobs in the downtown Los Angeles area for minorities, significantly improve the community, and provide more affordable housing.”

Victoria Vu commented, “The past five years in Los Angeles have been very challenging for a multifamily owner. First, the Covid pandemic hit in early 2020. And then LA instituted a series of eviction moratoriums for almost four years which resulted in many tenants electing not to pay rent for years. There were also no rent increases allowed for several years while inflation took its toll on operating expenses. Insurance costs skyrocketed with State Farm pulling out of California. We are happy to say we survived this difficult period, the properties all look amazing, and all lenders were paid off in full.”

Ms. Vu added, “This is just the start to a new beginning – We are in the process of obtaining our California class B general contractors license and are planning to build ground up ADUs (accessory dwelling units) in the large vacant parking areas with a very affordable rent.”

Vision Marine Technologies Partners with Université de Sherbrooke to Power Next-Gen Marine Engineers at Monaco Energy Boat Challenge

MONTREAL, QC – August 11, 2025 – Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), a leader in high-performance electric marine propulsion, proudly announces a strategic partnership with Memphré Boat Racing, the student engineering team from the Université de Sherbrooke’s Faculty of Engineering.

“Vision Marine’s support allows us to focus on what matters most: designing the next generation of marine propulsion,” said Alexis Bellefeuille, spokesperson for Memphré Boat Racing. “This kind of collaboration between industry and academia sets a powerful precedent.”

Sod Installation Improved Through Advanced Soil Testing by Taravella’s Hydro-Turf in Colorado Springs

Sod Installation Improved Through Advanced Soil Testing by Taravella's Hydro-Turf in Colorado Springs
Taravella’s Hydro-Turf, a long-established hydroseeding and hydromulching service provider in Colorado, announces the addition of advanced soil testing services to their comprehensive lawn care offerings in Colorado Springs.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – Taravella’s Hydro-Turf, a long-established hydroseeding and hydromulching service provider in Colorado, announces the addition of advanced soil testing services to their comprehensive lawn care offerings in Colorado Springs. This new service aims to provide property owners with detailed soil analysis to optimize lawn health and sustainability.

The introduction of advanced soil testing represents a significant enhancement to the company’s existing lawn installation and maintenance services. This scientific approach to lawn care enables property owners to make informed decisions about soil amendments, fertilization, and irrigation based on the specific composition and needs of their soil.

“Soil testing provides critical information that many property owners simply don’t have access to otherwise,” states John Taravella, owner of Taravella’s Hydro-Turf. “By analyzing the exact makeup of the soil and its nutrient concentrations, our clients can make better financial and environmental decisions that lead to optimal plant growth and lawn health. This service aligns perfectly with our 40-year commitment to providing beautiful, sustainable lawns throughout Colorado Springs and the Front Range.”

The advanced soil testing service examines multiple factors, including pH levels, nutrient content, organic matter, and potential contaminants. This comprehensive analysis helps identify deficiencies or imbalances that might impede successful grass installation or long-term lawn health.

Optimal Timing for Sod Installation in Colorado Springs

The implementation of advanced soil testing comes at a pivotal time for Colorado Springs property owners considering sod installation. Industry experts agree that the best time to install sod in Colorado Springs occurs during spring and early fall when temperatures are moderate and moisture levels are typically higher.

Soil testing conducted prior to sod installation provides valuable insights that significantly improve success rates. Understanding soil composition before installing new turf enables proper soil preparation, which is critical for strong root development and establishment.

Taravella’s Hydro-Turf recommends soil testing 3-4 weeks before scheduled sod installation in Colorado Springs to allow sufficient time for any necessary soil amendments. This timing ensures that the soil conditions are optimized before the new sod is placed.

Comprehensive Turf Installation Services Enhanced by Soil Analysis

The company’s turf installation services now benefit from the scientific insights provided by advanced soil testing. This integration allows for customized approaches to each property based on specific soil conditions rather than applying one-size-fits-all methods.

For Colorado Springs properties with challenging soil conditions, such as high clay content or alkalinity issues common in the region, soil testing proves particularly valuable. The analysis identifies specific challenges and enables targeted solutions that improve turf establishment and longevity.

The data gathered through soil testing also informs irrigation system design and scheduling, ensuring water conservation while maintaining optimal soil moisture for healthy turf development. This approach aligns with sustainable landscaping practices increasingly valued by Colorado Springs residents.

Landscaping Services Backed by Scientific Data

As a comprehensive provider of landscaping services in Colorado Springs, Taravella’s Hydro-Turf utilizes soil testing data to enhance all aspects of landscape design and implementation. The scientific approach ensures that plant selections and placements are compatible with existing soil conditions.

For properties requiring extensive landscaping services, soil testing may be conducted at multiple locations to map variations across the property. This detailed understanding allows for microclimate-appropriate plantings and specialized soil amendments where needed.

The integration of soil science into landscaping services represents an evolution in the company’s approach to creating sustainable outdoor living spaces. This methodology supports long-term landscape health while potentially reducing maintenance requirements and resource consumption.

Grass Installation Optimized Through Soil Analysis

The process of grass installation benefits significantly from preliminary soil testing. Whether through hydroseeding or traditional methods, understanding soil composition before installation allows for appropriate seed selection and soil preparation.

For Colorado Springs properties with soil conditions that might typically challenge grass establishment, the testing service identifies specific limitations and guides remediation efforts. This might include addressing compaction issues, correcting pH imbalances, or supplementing deficient nutrients.

The soil testing service also helps determine the most suitable grass varieties for specific properties based on soil type, sun exposure, and intended use. This customized approach increases success rates for new lawn establishments while reducing water and resource requirements.

Enhanced Lawn Care Through Scientific Soil Management

Beyond installation, the advanced soil testing service supports ongoing lawn care and lawn maintenance programs. Regular soil analysis enables precise fertilization schedules based on actual nutrient needs rather than generalized recommendations.

This targeted approach to lawn care not only promotes healthier turf but also reduces environmental impact by preventing over-application of fertilizers and amendments. For environmentally conscious property owners, this scientific methodology aligns with sustainable landscape management goals.

The company’s lawn maintenance services now incorporate soil testing results to develop customized care programs for each property. This might include specialized aeration schedules, specific amendment applications, or adjusted irrigation protocols based on soil structure and composition.
