YourUpdateTV

Is your diet supporting your gut health effectively? Recently, Registered Dietician and MyFitnessPal Scientific Advisory Council member, Maya Feller, conducted a satellite media tour to explain better eating habits that support gut health to enhance your focus, energy, mood, sleep, and weight. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/rjznUQsEet0 According to a recent MyFitnessPal survey 1 86% of people say they’re aware of the importance of maintaining gut health and 43% actively seek out gut health-related information. However, only 18% consider themselves to be “very” knowledgeable about what contributes to gut health. In response, the no. 1 global nutrition and food tracking app, MyFitnessPal collaborated with MyFitnessPal Scientific Advisory Council Member Dr. Janese Laster, to create the Gut Health Nutrition Plan, available now to all members for free in the MyFitnessPal app. Those who opt into the week-long plan will have access to nutrition ideas and suggestions, quizzes that test knowledge and assess current eating habits, and daily check-ins that encourage reflection on progress and current knowledge to help enable behavior change and fuel motivations. MyFitnessPal’s survey found that despite 85% of people trying to incorporate a variety of fruits and vegetables into their diet to improve gut health, only 2% are consuming more than 20 fruits and vegetables each week. To bring even more awareness to a person’s food intake, MyFitnessPal introduced a free feature, Food Group Insights, which gives members an overview of the number of foods they logged in a week categorized by food groups. And for those wondering how to get gut-healthy foods on their plate, MyFitnessPal introduced a new gut health recipe collection featuring high-fiber recipes that include a variety of fruits and vegetables.

Department of the Army Debuts First Campaign Highlighting Army Civilian Careers

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/FMkGY43U8FQ For the first time, the Department of the Army debuted a campaign focused on Army Civilian Careers. “Find Your Next Level” demonstrates how private citizens can bring their existing skills and abilities to an Army Civilian Career and have an impact that can only be found in the Department of the Army. Individuals looking for a new challenge in their career can choose from more than 500 career paths. Army Civilians work across industries with roles in finance, cybersecurity, engineering, and beyond. With more than 265,000 employees, the Army Civilian workforce is one of the largest groups of Civilian employees within the Department of Defense. The Civilian role in the Army dates back to the founding of our country in 1776, and Army Civilians continue to play a critical role in the Army’s success today. Because there is low public awareness that the Department of the Army employs Civilians, the campaign aims to bridge this gap by demonstrating how professionals can bring their existing skills and abilities to an Army Civilian Career. On May 22nd, a media tour was conducted with Army Civilian, Dr. John E. Deaton. He shared his unique perspective on the campaign as a former Army Ranger who ultimately returned to the Army as a Civilian later in his career – this time in veterinary sciences. His experience as an Army Ranger brought him the critical skills of discipline and leadership that would serve as the foundation for a fulfilling career in veterinary medicine after his service in uniform. Today he serves as the Deputy Director of Veterinary Sciences at Joint Base San Antonio where he leverages insights from his veterinary expertise to train the next generation of Soldiers. Topics that Dr. Deaton discussed included: · Why the Army is launching a campaign focused on Civilians. · His journey to the Army and why he chose to return as a Civilian. · What opportunities his Civilian career in the Army has provided. · Types of Army Civilian Career paths are available. For more information, visit ArmyCivilianCareers.com. Army Civilian Careers will have a presence at upcoming events throughout the U.S. where potential candidates can interview for open positions, and potentially receive a tentative job offer on the spot: · June 26-28: The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) in Las Vegas, NV · September 18-20: Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing (CMDIT) in San Diego, CA · October 4: American Indian Society of Engineers & Scientists (AISES) National Conference in San Antonio, TX · October 12: Society of Asian Scientists & Engineers (SASE) in Boston, MA · November 1-2: Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) in Anaheim, CA · November 9: Great Minds in STEM (GMiS) in Fort Worth, TX Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Bridge the Gap: The Transformative Impact of Cross-Company Integration (CCI)

500NewsWire

Antwerp, Belgium, May 30, 2024 - ( 500NewsWire ) -- In today's network economy, collaboration across organizational boundaries is key to driving innovation and resilience. Businesses are increasingly leveraging Cross-Company integration (CCI) to forge powerful partnerships, enhance efficiency, and boost competitiveness in dynamic markets. Cross-company integration involves connecting diverse systems across companies and finding common ground for information exchange tailored to the needs of multiple stakeholders. At its core, CCI embodies the vision of a worldwide network of interconnected companies pooling their strengths for positive change. So, how can CCI build on the power of the network effect? Harnessing the Power of the Network Effect The network effect is central to CCI's impact. Similar to how the value of a product increases with more users in the network economy, CCI's value grows as more companies join. Initially, companies establish connections with customers, partners, or suppliers through point-to-point integration. As they reap benefits, they expand the network, adding more users and applications. The larger the network, the greater the value. The integration provider's strength and scalability are crucial, but companies must also have a comprehensive strategy to realize tangible benefits like real-time data access, faster decision-making, streamlined processes, improved ROI, and accelerated growth. Benefits of Outsourcing Integration Outsourcing integration to third-party providers enhances enterprise-wide efforts. From multinational corporations to agile startups, CCI offers significant advantages across various industries. Some examples: Automotive: A leading player in connected digital services uses CCI to streamline collaboration with automotive brands, ensuring real-time data sharing and improving operational efficiency. Insurance: A major insurance company leverages CCI for real-time synchronization with suppliers, improving processing times and service quality. Media: A prominent media company employs CCI to consolidate workflows and teams, integrating content management and distribution systems for streamlined operations. Finance: A global financial institution uses CCI to integrate banking systems with third-party financial service providers, enabling real-time transaction processing and improved compliance monitoring. Managed Service Providers (MSPs): MSPs utilize CCI to integrate their clients' IT systems with various third-party applications. This enables efficient monitoring and management of IT services, enhances security through unified systems, and improves service delivery. Logistics: A large logistics company uses CCI to streamline processes between their call center and support teams. By integrating their customer service platform with their internal support system, they achieve real-time information sharing, faster issue resolution, and improved customer satisfaction. Navigating Complexity with Precision Cross-company integration involves unique complexities, particularly in terms of data security and compliance. Francis Martens, CEO of Exalate, an integration solution, emphasizes: "Integration can bridge disconnected environments, but choosing the right integration solution is critical to avoid scenarios that create more problems than they solve." Organizations considering CCI adoption should prioritize environments with high volumes of repetitive tasks within process-oriented frameworks. These environments offer fertile ground for integrating disparate entities and driving shared objectives forward. A well-implemented CCI project harmonizes collaboration between external and internal teams, aligning efforts for optimal results. Shaping the Future of Work The future of work belongs to those who seize opportunities and embrace change. CCI offers a powerful mechanism for unlocking collaboration and driving innovation across organizational boundaries. CCI is a strategic shift for forward-thinking companies, enabling them to tap into collective expertise and resources and tackle complex challenges with newfound agility and resilience. It also focuses on human-centric values to guide the ethical and equitable deployment of technology and ensure collaboration serves the greater good.

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris Discusses Strong Performance for Midstream Sector

HANetf Holdings Limited

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris joined Steve Darling from Proactive to discuss the robust performance of the midstream energy sector. The midstream energy dividend UCITS ETF has exhibited strong growth, rising 11% year-to-date. This performance outpaces major European energy companies and the Euro Stoxx 600 oil and gas index. The sector's growth is primarily driven by companies generating substantial free cash flow and increasing their dividends. Impressively, 90% of the index's companies have raised their dividends in the past year. Morris highlighted that first-quarter earnings in the sector exceeded analyst expectations, prompting some companies to raise their annual guidance. The sector also saw a significant $1.5 billion in equity buybacks, underscoring the financial health and shareholder-friendly policies of midstream companies. One of the key drivers benefiting the midstream sector is the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in data centers, which is boosting demand for natural gas. This trend supports the midstream sector without exposing it to the volatility of commodity prices. Morris emphasized that investors should consider midstream investments due to their stable returns derived from fees for moving and processing natural gas, attractive yields, and defensive energy exposure. Despite the strong performance, valuations in the midstream sector remain attractive relative to historical averages. This presents potential opportunities for re-rating as companies continue to execute their strategies effectively. The outlook for the remainder of the year is positive, with expectations of continued dividend growth and equity buybacks. Importantly, these positive trends are expected to persist regardless of the upcoming elections, providing investors with a degree of certainty and stability. Morris noted that the midstream sector's ability to generate consistent free cash flow and its commitment to returning capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks make it an appealing investment. The sector's resilience and growth potential are underpinned by strong operational execution and favorable market dynamics. Looking ahead, VettaFi expects the midstream energy sector to continue delivering robust performance. The combination of attractive valuations, stable income streams, and growth opportunities driven by increasing natural gas demand positions the sector for sustained success. Investors are encouraged to explore midstream energy investments to capitalize on these favorable trends. Contact Details Proactive UK Ltd +44 20 7989 0813 uk@proactiveinvestors.com

Royal Road Minerals Advances Exploration at Jabal Sahabiyah Project in Saudi Arabia

Royal Road Minerals Ltd

Royal Road Minerals CEO Tim Coughlin joined Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company’s exploration activities at the Jabal Sahabiyah project in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The underlying rights to Jabal Sahabiyah are held by Royal Road Arabia, a joint venture between Royal Road Minerals and MIDU Company Limited, each holding a 50% stake. The Jabal Sahabiyah Exploration tender covers three contiguous Exploration Licenses, encompassing approximately 284 square kilometers. Coughlin shared that the initial detailed fieldwork at Jabal Sahabiyah has concentrated on two exposed polymetallic gossans, Jabal Muwayqirah and Hanash North. These gossans were first identified in the 1970s and were initially assessed for their potential to host zinc mineralization. Historical work by Riofinex included geological mapping, soil sampling, and limited shallow open-hole percussion drilling. Geochemical analyses from this work indicated the presence of zinc, copper, lead, and silver. At the Hanash North target, ongoing rock-chip and soil sampling have revealed that the fold geometry suggests repeated mineralization, which is exposed again at the southwestern gossan area and concealed under shallow cover towards the east. This finding is significant as it indicates the potential for extensive mineralization beyond what is currently exposed. To advance the project, Royal Road Minerals plans to conduct more structural mapping at Jabal Sahabiyah. This will be supported by the use of advanced technologies, including a drone-borne hyperspectral scanner, magnetometer, and radiometer. Additionally, the company will carry out grid-based auger soil sampling across both gossan areas. These efforts aim to identify targets for drill-testing before the end of 2024. Coughlin emphasized the importance of these exploration activities in understanding the full potential of the Jabal Sahabiyah project. The company is focused on systematically evaluating the mineralization to delineate viable drilling targets and ultimately expand the resource base. The use of modern exploration techniques and technologies will enhance the precision and efficiency of these efforts. In conclusion, Royal Road Minerals' ongoing exploration at the Jabal Sahabiyah project represents a significant step towards unlocking the potential of this promising mineral asset. With a comprehensive fieldwork plan and the integration of advanced exploration tools, the company is well-positioned to make substantial progress in the coming year. The successful identification of drill targets and subsequent drilling will be crucial in advancing the project and creating value for shareholders Contact Details Proactive North America +1 604-688-8158 na-editorial@proactiveinvestors.com

Kariba REDD+ Project withdrawal from VCS GHG Program

Carbon Green PR

Lake Kariba - Zimbabwe - May 30, 2024 - ( ThriveNewsWire ) - Carbon Green Investments (CGI) has announced its decision to withdraw the Kariba REDD+ Project and Chirisa REDD+ Project from the VCS GHG Program due to challenges such as communication delays and inadequate engagement, transitioning them to a suitable GHG program provider. This move, driven by issues including delayed responses and operational inefficiencies, aims to maintain the integrity and credibility of the Projects, with CGI expressing optimism for their future with the chosen GHG registry. Carbon Green Investments (CGI), a leading firm in the environmental sustainability sector, has formally announced the withdrawal of the Kariba REDD+ Project and Chirisa REDD+ Project from the VCS GHG program registry. This strategic decision, effective immediately, comes after extensive deliberations and a detailed review of the Projects' engagement and communications with VERRA over the past seven months. The decision to transition these projects to an alternate GHG program was driven by a series of challenges that hindered their effective management and operations. Significant issues included prolonged communication delays and inadequate engagement from VERRA, which have impacted the projects' implementation and CGI's business operations. CGI has cited several specific issues “these not limited” to the lead-up of withdrawal: Engagement and Cooperation: CGI has faced considerable challenges in obtaining timely and constructive responses from VERRA, resulting in extended periods of uncertainty that have affected the project's beneficiaries, staff, and business operations. Communication Delays: VERRA’s persistent delays in addressing inquiries and providing necessary access to accounts have significantly hindered CGI’s business and project management capabilities. Account Access and Transparency: Denial in accessing and managing the treasury/registry account, coupled with unexplained modifications detected within the account, have raised serious concerns about transparency and operational integrity. Project Impact: These administrative challenges have led to further reputational damage and financial losses for all beneficiaries, further compelling CGI to seek a more supportive and responsive registry partnership. Both projects are now in the process of finalizing their registration applications with the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) program and are scheduled for imminent revalidation and verification. CGI is committed to adhering to the highest standards of transparency and accountability, ensuring the integrity of the projects and the credibility of the issued credits. CGI, along with the appointed Validation & Verification Body, will continue to engage with VERRA as necessary throughout the revalidation process. CGI expects full cooperation from Verra to facilitate a smooth transition and efficient handling of the credit transfer process, safeguarding the interests of all beneficiaries. CGI, withdrawing from the VCS GHG program after twelve years of collaboration, remains optimistic about their future under the new program. We are committed to fulfilling our environmental goals and ensuring the continued success and integrity of our projects.
