Horizon Copper Corp

Horizon Copper CEO Erfan Kazemi joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share insights into the company's robust portfolio and strategic future plans, emphasizing a focus on copper assets. Horizon Copper is dedicated to building a strong portfolio of copper projects. The company currently holds interests in three major copper assets.

Loneliness Crisis Being Faced by Older Americans: AmeriCorps Seniors Believes Volunteering Fosters Connections and Conquers Loneliness

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/dcH7-VsQaYQ Older adults are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation, which can have a serious effect on health, according to a recent report issued by the U.S. Surgeon General. Chronic loneliness (persistent feelings of isolation and/or a lack of companionship) can adversely affect mental, cognitive, and physical health, general well-being and even longevity. However, there are ways to overcome loneliness and volunteering might be the answer. AmeriCorps Seniors is helping older adults form connections in their community, provide purpose and improve their lives through volunteering. After two years of volunteering with AmeriCorps Seniors, 78% of those who reported more than five symptoms of depression at the beginning of the study said that they felt less depressed two years later. Of those who first described a lack of companionship, 88% said they felt less isolated after two years. AmeriCorps is the federal agency for national service and volunteerism. AmeriCorps Seniors focuses on engaging adults ages 55 and up in service in their local communities. Through three signature programs, RSVP, the Foster Grandparent Program and the Senior Companion Program, AmeriCorps Seniors provides a space for older adults to take charge of this moment in life and use their time in impactful ways. Each year, AmeriCorps Seniors matches more than 140,000 Americans with service opportunities. For example, Shelley Brosnan, a volunteer with AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP through Volunteer Fairfax, Fairfax, Va., said, “Giving back is so very important. I’ve been volunteering for most of my adult life. Volunteering allows me to connect with my community and make it a better place. I also love the social aspects and meeting people who share my interests. We have a chance to help others and form new relationships, which has grown my social circle.” RSVP offers flexible scheduling and a diverse mix of opportunities. The Foster Grandparent Program pairs volunteers with children and youth in mentoring and tutoring relationships. Lastly, the Senior Companion Program provides a helping hand to other older adults and those with disabilities. They also support caregivers through respite services.

HTX Shines at GM Vietnam 2024 and Hosts Web3 Future Night: Spotlighting Crypto Trends, Advancing Global Expansion

HTX

HTX, the world-leading crypto exchange, made a noteworthy appearance at GM Vietnam 2024 as a gold sponsor on June 7. This strategic move marks a significant step in HTX's global expansion efforts, as close connections and cooperations were formed with local blockchain startups, tech teams, and the crypto communities to drive technological innovation and contribute to the growth of the blockchain ecosystem, both in Vietnam and globally. At the event, HTX's booth G6 attracted widespread attention and active engagement from attendees. Additionally, Amelia Chan, head of strategic partnerships at HTX, was invited to participate in a roundtable discussion, themed "Importance of Liquidity in Digital Assets Markets". Chan dived into the measures exchange venues employ to ensure a constant stream of asset flows. Crypto markets are volatile and susceptible to large price swings and abnormal conditions. Chan stated that as a well-established large centralized exchange, HTX has mature experience and resources in dealing with such situations. "We ensure the safety of user assets on the platform, and we maintain a 100% reserve fund to cope with extreme situations. We have implemented powerful risk management systems that monitor market conditions in real-time and identify potential risks," she said. She also highlighted HTX's strict measures in response to extreme conditions, such as price fluctuations, to ensure user asset security. HTX is committed to providing a safe and reliable user experience and continuously monitors and adapts to changing market dynamics. In terms of using digital asset platforms, Chan provided several reminders including enabling two-factor authentication, awareness of phishing websites, staying informed about market dynamics, as well as cautious and diversified investments. Another highlight was the "Web3 Future Night" event held by HTX in Ho Chi Minh City on June 6, in collaboration with well-known media outlet ChainCatcher. The party, buzzing with energy and optimism, brought together Vietnam’s most active crypto KOLs and community members, charting a promising future for Vietnamese Web3 enthusiasts and practitioners. Speakers from HTX, ChainCatcher, LBank, 4E, GoPlus, SOEX, and BTC Beta shared their insights and forward-thinking perspectives on the Web3 industry. GM Vietnam 2024, held from June 7 to 8 in Ho Chi Minh City, gathered globally renowned crypto projects, investors, entrepreneurs, and tech experts to discuss the latest trends and uncover new growth opportunities in the market. HTX has set its sights on the Vietnamese Web3 markets. The move comes amidst a surge of Web3 projects in Vietnam, sparked by wildly popular Axie Infinity in 2021 and subsequently influential startups like Yield Guild Games (YGG) and Ancient 8. That's why Vietnam is rapidly becoming a focal point for the Web3 ecosystem in Asia. HTX holds long-standing interest and support for cutting-edge sectors like meme coins, blockchain gaming, and social finance, and is well-positioned to capitalize on this trend with its efforts to increase user base in Vietnamese markets. The exchange anticipates collaborating with Vietnamese users to explore the crypto infinity.
