The Humane Society of the United States Helping Pets in Poverty: Keeping People and Pets Together in Hard Times

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement with Humane Society of the United States president and CEO Kitty Block, is available at: https://youtu.be/qtc_jIvU_nU Millions of loving pet owners cannot afford or do not have access to veterinary services and pet resources. Over 20 million pets live in poverty with their families in the US and 70% of pets living in poverty have never seen a veterinarian. This is a serious issue that is being addressed by the Humane Society of the United States through its More than a Pet campaign. A nationwide media tour was conducted featuring Kitty Block, President and CEO, The Humane Society of the United States, discussing the aim of the campaign which is to help pets living in poverty with their families and keep people and their pets together, no matter what challenges they face. The Humane Society of the United States’ More Than a Pet campaign addresses this nationwide crisis head on by elevating awareness and providing solutions for those facing economic hardship and struggling to access care for their pets. With the help of campaign partners TQL, Motel 6, Smalls and Tractive, along with the campaign’s celebrity ambassador Jackson Galaxy—renowned cat behavior and wellness expert, author and television host—More Than a Pet focuses on advancing equity and access to care to keep families and their pets together, happy and healthy. Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, said, “The human-animal bond transcends demographics, and everyone should have the opportunity to experience the joy of animal companionship. Millions of loving pet owners cannot afford or don’t have access to veterinary services or pet resources. Most people are aware of how poverty and structural inequality create challenges and barriers to accessing healthy food, education, jobs, healthcare and housing for people. Pet resources are no different.” Galaxy added, “There is no greater joy than the unconditional love and relationship we have with our animal family members. They are more than just pets; they’re part of our lives and our hearts, and no one should ever have to even think about giving them up because they don’t have access to pet food, supplies and essential resources. We need to do all we can to keep these families together. People can make a difference by helping a neighbor out, whether that be giving them a bag of cat food, offering to care for their cat if they have fallen on hard times, or driving them to veterinary appointments if they don’t have a car. Every bit helps and means more than you know.” An important component of the campaign is the More Than a Pet Community Hero Award, recognizing the contributions of three community heroes who are making a difference by working to ensure the well-being of people and their pets in communities lacking access to resources like pet food and veterinary care. The public is encouraged to show their support by voting for the hero whose story impacts them most. People can also make a big difference by simply spreading the word about this enormous crisis and by helping their neighbors. Every act of kindness goes a long way: Offer to pet sit Drive them to a veterinary appointment Collect pet essential donations for them Buy an extra bag of cat or dog food Foster someone’s pet if they fall on hard times Since 2002, the Humane Society of the United States has served more than 500,000 pets and their families living in poverty with veterinary services such as spay/neuter and vaccinations at no cost to the pet’s family. The HSUS has also donated more than $40 million worth of pet supplies, including 14 million pounds of pet food. For more information, visit HUMANESOCIETY.ORG/MORETHANAPET About More Than a Pet Launched in 2023, the Humane Society of the United States’ More Than a Pet campaign honors the love people have for their pets, celebrates and protects the human-animal bond and aims to show that this bond transcends race, ethnicity, geography and socioeconomic status. Through programs like Pets for Life and Rural Area Veterinary Services, the HSUS supports hundreds of thousands of people and pets who do not have access to veterinary care and pet essentials. A key part of this work is to bring equity in access to pet care for underserved communities and increase diversity in the animal welfare movement, efforts which are long overdue and necessary to recognize the human in humane. Together with our corporate partners, More Than a Pet raises awareness and funds for these critical programs and the HSUS’ work to fight for all animals.

The Regenerative Power Of Seaweed: Nurturing Health, Empowering Women And Sustaining The Planet

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Seaweed is a staple food in many Asian cultures, but it is only now gaining significant popularity in the West as well, largely due to its numerous health benefits. Seaweed contains an array of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, B vitamins, zinc, and iron. Scientists have cited weight control, anticancer, and antioxidant effects and prebiotic intake as some of the benefits of regularly including seaweed in your diet. Simply put, seaweed might be an underutilized superfood, with reports estimating that the market could be worth $11.8 billion by 2030. In addition to the health benefits, many scientists and environmentalists are looking to seaweed as a solution to food insecurity and climate change concerns. Seaweed is known for absorbing nitrogen from the water and bolstering biodiversity by providing food and habitat for marine life, among other benefits. Current estimates reveal that food production is responsible for 80% of all land degradation, 70% of global freshwater use, and a staggering one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions. In stark contrast, seaweed cultivation requires neither land nor freshwater, effectively avoiding these environmental costs altogether. Further, the minimal greenhouse gas emissions associated with seaweed farming make it a highly sustainable alternative to land-based food production. How Rootless Is Using Seaweed To Benefit Women’s Health Rootless is a company dedicated to revolutionizing the global food system, with a particular focus on women's health. Founded by Sachi Singh, a passionate advocate of seaweed, this company is on a mission to make the health benefits of seaweed accessible to all. The company sources its seaweed from the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Maine and Ireland, and says it ensures it meets rigorous quality standards. The seaweed is sustainably harvested, providing livelihoods to coastal communities while simultaneously helping to heal the surrounding ocean environment by absorbing carbon and nitrogen. Rootless's flagship product, The Daily Bites, a whole-food snackable supplement, can support hormone balance in menopause and beyond with over 40 macro and micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and unique bioactives. In a consumer trial where women ate one of the company’s Daily Bites every day for four weeks, 86% experienced higher energy and/or improved metabolism and 83% experienced less bloating and/or constipation, while 97% experienced less hormonal acne and/or dryness. Rootless is currently hosting a raise to assist with increasing the company’s presence and support more women worldwide, while contributing to the fight against climate change. In an era of dwindling global resources, it is crucial to seize opportunities presented by readily replenishable and ecosystem-enhancing resources like seaweed. Rootless seems well-positioned to introduce seaweed to women searching for solutions to various issues like hormonal acne and hormonal disorders, as well as broadly supporting overall women’s health.

Menopause Is A $600 Billion Market Opportunity For Companies Like Rootless That Are Looking To Provide Women Much-Needed Solutions

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga In the past few years, women’s health has been brought to the foreground, and many women are turning to more natural approaches to feel like their best selves. From cycle syncing to eating certain herbal remedies to even transitioning away from hormonal birth control, there seems to be a cultural shift of women embracing more natural remedies to support their overall wellness. Doctors have witnessed a slow decline in prescription requests, with a 9% decrease in oral contraceptive use between 2002 and 2017. However, notably, Gen Z has taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction with Big Pharma and concerns over the side effects of hormonal drugs. This isn’t to say that only younger women are developing a deeper awareness of different approaches to wellness. Herbal medicine has been shown to help women from menstruation to menopause and beyond. Historically, women’s health issues like menopause have often been relegated to the sidelines – many women were expected to suffer in silence – but today, education around menopause is growing, which has created an estimated $600 billion opportunity in treating women experiencing menopause for companies willing to provide solutions to half of the population. This Seaweed Company Is Reshaping How We Approach Women’s Health Rootless is a company dedicated to revolutionizing aspects of the global food system, with a particular focus on women's health. Founded by Sachi Singh, a passionate advocate of seaweed, this company is on a mission to make the health benefits of seaweed accessible to all. Recognizing the transformative power of this superfood, Rootless aims to create products that not only enhance individual health but also contribute positively to the planet and communities. Sachi's personal health journey has played a significant role in shaping the vision of Rootless. Having struggled with hormonal acne and various hormonal disorders since her early teens, like so many other women, she discovered that treating the root cause of these issues was more effective than simply addressing the symptoms. She has pursued this passion to create a business model that intersects women’s health and the environment. Rootless's flagship product, The Daily Bites, supports hormone health in menopause and beyond with over 40 macro and micronutrients in a whole-food snackable supplement, including vitamins, minerals, and unique bioactives. Rootless goes beyond individual health to attempting to address the well-being of the planet. The company sources its seaweed from the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Maine and Ireland and says it meets rigorous quality standards. The seaweed is sustainably harvested, providing livelihoods to coastal communities while simultaneously helping to heal the surrounding ocean environment by absorbing carbon. By sourcing their seaweed sustainably and supporting coastal communities, Rootless not only aims to help women navigate their health but also contributes to the healing of our planet. In a consumer trial where women ate one of the company’s Daily Bites every day for four weeks, 86% experienced higher energy and/or improved metabolism and 83% experienced less bloating and/or constipation, while 97% experienced less hormonal acne and/or dryness.

New Tech Paves the Way for Faster Airport Security

MarketJar

Airport security delays and operational disruptions are becoming an increasingly common headache for travelers around the globe, often leading to missed flights and mounting frustrations. A recent incident at Birmingham Airport vividly illustrates this growing problem. Lucy Kenneally and her boyfriend Matthew experienced the chaos firsthand when they endured a staggering four-hour wait in the security line and ultimately missed their flight. 1 Days later, Gatwick Airport faced significant delays after a fire alarm in the South Terminal prompted a full evacuation, causing passengers to be stuck on the runway and leading to a cascading effect of delayed departures. 2 Of course, these are just a few examples that highlight a much bigger issue. In reality there are thousands of delayed flights every day across the US and up to 20,000 delays every single day around the world. The problem has gotten so bad that the Biden administration has developed a new rule to address one of the most pressing travel grievances: flight delays. 3 Announced in late April, the rule mandates airlines to provide automatic refunds for delays that disrupt travelers' plans significantly, reflecting a major shift towards enhancing passenger rights. Another major issue that demands an urgent solution are airport security breaches. According to the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), there have been at least 300 instances of people bypassing parts of airport security in the last year. 4 These security concerns are coming to light at a time when the TSA is working to solve airport security issues by upgrading checkpoints with more advanced technology developed by AI security company Liberty Defense Holdings (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF). Liberty Defense specializes in advanced security solutions tailored for areas with high pedestrian traffic and heightened security needs, including airports, stadiums, and educational institutions. The company's flagship product, HEXWAVE, licensed from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), offers discreet, scalable protection that detects both metallic and non-metallic weapons. Revolutionizing Airport Security with Advanced Technology Liberty Defense Holdings (TSXV:SCAN) (OTCQB:LDDFF) has successfully deployed HEXWAVE across various market verticals and signed several large contracts with airports around the globe. The company also inked a $3.8 million contract with the TSA for its High-Definition Advanced Imaging Technology (HD-AIT) Wideband Upgrade Kit to improve detection capabilities and enhance the passenger experience. On May 13, Liberty Defense announced that its HEXWAVE system has been selected by the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport (ROC) to enhance the TSA’s Aviation Worker Security Screening. ROC, a vital transportation hub serving about 2.4 million passengers annually with 120 daily flights, is now the first U.S. airport to integrate HEXWAVE into its security operations. This deployment marks a notable step in using advanced technology to bolster airport security and operational efficiency. “As industry leaders, we are excited to be the first airport in the United States to acquire the HEXWAVE system to use in our broader airport security program,” said Deputy Director at the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport Andrew Moore. “ We will use the HEXWAVE to provide enhanced security and an improved screening experience in non-traditional areas of the airport. We are excited to work with Liberty Defense as we are continually looking to innovate and improve the overall safety of our airport.” Unlike traditional weapon detection technologies, HEXWAVE utilizes millimeter wave technology, advanced 3D imaging, and AI to detect a wide range of concealed metallic and non-metallic threats—including liquid, powder and plastic explosives, and 3D printed ghost guns—without requiring passengers to remove common items like belts and shoes. This capability allows for a faster, more seamless screening process, enhancing the flow of traffic and reducing bottlenecks at security checkpoints. Liberty Defense is also expanding into international markets, announcing a recent shipment of its HEXWAVE™ system to Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands and Subic Bay Airport in the Philippines.
