Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose fight for justice, equality, and economic empowerment reshaped our nation. Few cities embody the Civil Rights Movement as profoundly as Birmingham, Alabama—a city where Dr. King’s courage and vision ignited transformational change.
In 1963, Dr. King led the Birmingham Campaign, a series of nonviolent protests against segregation, culminating in mass demonstrations that drew national attention to the injustices Black Americans faced. During his imprisonment that same year, he penned the historic Letter from Birmingham Jail, a powerful call to action that still resonates today:
“We will reach the goal of freedom in Birmingham and all over the nation, because the goal of America is freedom.”
As we reflect on his words, we invite you to continue his mission of progress by joining us in Birmingham for the 39th Annual NOBCO Economic Development Conference, May 28 – June 1, 2025. Just as Dr. King challenged systemic barriers, our conference will focus on economic empowerment, leadership development, and advancing policies that uplift Black communities.
This is more than a gathering—it’s a commitment to action. Let’s come together in Birmingham to build on Dr. King’s legacy and create a stronger future for the next generation.
The celebrated Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel, Ibiza’s iconic rural luxury estate, is delighted to announce its highly anticipated 2025 spring reopening, on 15th March 2025.
Spring is a beautiful time to visit Ibiza, with wildflowers blanketing fields and almond blossom in bloom. The climate is warm and inviting with the island peaceful and crowd-free. Set amidst a vast and sprawling 13-hectare estate of fragrant orange groves, horticultural, vegetable, and formal gardens, Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel is the perfect place for a nature-connected stay in a deeply luxurious and stylish environment.
As one of Ibiza’s original rural favourities, Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel is much-loved for being the grandest and most authentic estate hotel in Ibiza.

For the 2025 season, the estate continues its commitment to sustainability and refined hospitality, offering guests a harmonious escape where traditional architecture meets elegantly modern comforts.
Stylish Heritage-Respecting Renovations

Seasonal Wellbeing Gastronomy
The hotel’s farm-to-fork restaurant, renowned for its organic Mediterranean cuisine, will debut a spring 2025 menu showcasing seasonal produce harvested from Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel’s own organic vegetable garden. Rich in heirloom varieties, the dishes are restorative and respectful of the ingredients, adding to every aspect of a wellbeing stay.

Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel values its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainability, from its three-hectare vegetable garden supplying the kitchen to the energy from the 200 estate solar panels. Fresh water comes from the estate’s wells.

Atzaró Agroturismo Hotel’s estate is a sanctuary where luxury meets sustainability. Guests enjoy farm-to-fork dining freshly sourced from the organic Vegetable Garden, wellness experiences are rooted in nature and eco-conscious amenities.

A combined African experience, a couple of days in the cultural mother city, then several on safari, exploring the wild, is the perfect city and safari experience. 2018 saw the group voyage into Indonesia with the luxury charter yacht, Prana by Atzaró, a traditional, yet opulent Phinisi, heralded the biggest and best in the world, sailing the Komodo National Park, Spice Islands, and Raja Ampat.

‘I Heart LA’ NFT Collection Launched to Support LA Wildfire Response, with All Proceeds Going to Families In Need
Tech-enabled fashion brand, mmERCH, rallies top digital artists to help raise vital funds for LA Charity, Baby2Baby
In response to the devastating wildfires that have impacted families across Los Angeles, CA., the blockchain-enabled Web3 fashion start-up, mmERCH, has collaborated with acclaimed digital artists to launch the ‘I Heart LA’ NFT collection in an effort to quickly raise vital funds for those most impacted by the disaster. mmERCH, along with the participating artists, will donate 100% of the proceeds from the sale to Baby2Baby, a nonprofit that provides essential supplies to children and families in crisis.
The collection, featuring 7 artists’ distinct interpretations of the iconic ‘I Heart LA’ graphic, will be available for an open-edition mint from 8am EST / 5am PST on Friday, January 17th, 2025, until 11.59pm EST / 8.59 PST on Sunday, January 19th. Anyone with a compatible crypto wallet (such as MetaMask) will be able to mint an NFT from the collection on highlight.xyz for just 0.0069 ETH (approx. $23).
All mints are random and the odds of minting across the collection are weighted equally. All proceeds from the mint will go directly to Baby2Baby, which has already distributed over 3 million emergency supplies, including diapers, formula, food, and hygiene products, to displaced families. Given the urgency of the ongoing crisis in Los Angeles, mmERCH will work to ensure that funds are swiftly distributed to Baby2Baby after the auction closes on Sunday, January 19th.
Speaking about the idea, Colby Mugrabi, founder and CEO of mmERCH, said: “It’s impossible to not be affected by what’s happening in Los Angeles. Just amongst our team, we have dozens of friends, collaborators, and colleagues who have been directly impacted by this sequence of horrific events, with their lives and livelihoods turned upside down overnight.”
“We quickly realized that there was an opportunity to harness the power of digital assets and blockchain technology to have a direct and immediate impact on fundraising efforts. I’m so grateful to the artists and partners who jumped at the chance to produce an ‘I Heart LA’ badge of support. With this project, we hope to deliver much-needed resources to those affected by this ongoing tragedy through an organization whose work we so deeply admire and respect.
Baby2Baby has been serving children and families in need throughout the city of Los Angeles and nationwide for well over a decade, and we hope this initiative will help drive much needed funding in support of their ongoing emergency response efforts.”

Today, fans can peek ahead at ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM tie-in issues coming in April.
Just in time for a milestone issue of Jed MacKay and Valerio Schiti’s acclaimed Avengers run, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes find themselves in an explosive battle against Doom in AVENGERS #25. While the Avengers strike, a terrifying group of villains will take advantage and stage an assault on their Impossible City headquarters—the new MASTERS OF EVIL! Then, following their humbling defeat at Doom’s hands, a desperate plan to reverse their circumstances threatens to further diminish Marvel’s First Family to the FANTASTIC TWO in Ryan North and Cory Smith’s FANTASTIC FOUR #31.

SECRET LATVERIAN LEGENDS REVEALED!
Zoe fights the monsters of your childhood nightmares – which, c’mon, you have to admit, that’s pretty cool. Meanwhile, her friends are forced to ask – why do the good rescue plans always involve asking people you really don’t like for help?!
“Something I have always appreciated about Doctor Doom is that while he looks to the future he never discounts the past,” Cadenhead explained to CBR in a recent interview. “Magic, arcana, folklore – it’s integral to his technological advances. I started thinking about Doom as a collector and realized his school would have the most awesome library (which is one of my favorite locations Pasqual Ferry designed for the series). We realized right away how dangerous such a collection could be and the idea of this other realm within which the Doom Academy students would be tested was born.”

FANTASTIC TWO!
As Ben recovers from what Doom has done to him, the Fantastic Four learn they’re losing their powers at the one time they need them the most desperately! If they can’t reverse the effect, they may be lost forever – and Doom will be unstoppable. But the family has an idea of how to get them back – and to do it safely. They need only recreate the circumstances that first gave them their powers. But when safety doesn’t get them results, there is a more desperate path available to the Four – and they take it. It all comes down to this! A young woman. Her kid brother. The man she loves. His only friend… and a desperate launch into space.
RED HULK #3

HUNTED BY DOOM!
Thunderbolt Ross has escaped Doctor Doom’s dungeon, but the wounded general is too weak to turn into the Red Hulk. In the hostile, snowbound Latverian mountains, Ross, Machine Man and Deathlok are relentlessly chased by an army of Doombots! Will these heroes survive this issue’s explosive ending?!
“This is a war book,” Percy teased in a recent interview with ComicBook.com. “That’s how I’ve been talking about this with Editor Mark Paniccia from the beginning. That’s why Geoff Shaw is such a brilliant partner, since he draws such brutal, kinetic, gritty action. Wars don’t consist of a single battle. They’re long-lasting and complicated and require much more than brute force to win. The first few issues will feel like The Great Escape. The next few issues will feel like First Blood. And after that? Things get even wilder and thornier.”
THUNDERBOLTS: DOOMSTRIKE #3 (OF 5)

LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE!
Bucky, Songbird, Sharon Carter and the Midnight Angels launch a daring plan to target Doctor Doom’s supply of vibranium. But standing in their way are – THE THUNDERBOLTS?! It’s THUNDERBOLTS VS. THUNDERBOLTS – ’NUFF SAID!
“We’re thrilled to invite the original Thunderbolts back into the mix and cross them over with Bucky’s new reimagined operation,” Kelly told IGN in a recent interview. “From the heartbreaking conclusion to Songbird and Abner’s relationship, beautifully brought to life (and death) by Jim Zub, to the disastrous return of Citizen V, it’s a real honor to return to these characters, and – more importantly – return them to their original core dilemma: is redemption even possible for a villainous life?”
