Paymon A. Khatibi

Paymon A. Khatibi, Attorney, calls for greater transparency to protect consumer rights.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, October 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Paymon A. Khatibi, Esq., CEO and founder of Wave Law Firm, APC, is voicing serious concerns about how some companies are interpreting arbitration clauses from their services—even from seemingly unrelated services. This practice can potentially limit injured individuals' ability to pursue justice in court, as highlighted by recent high-profile cases involving Uber and Disney.

"These cases raise important questions about arbitration clauses and their impact on consumers' rights to seek justice," Khatibi said. "Agreements intended for specific services—like ordering food through Uber Eats or subscribing to Disney+—can be used to attempt to limit people's rights in situations that go beyond what many consumers might expect."

Uber Case

In March 2022, John and Georgia McGinty, a couple from New Jersey, were injured in a car crash during an Uber ride. Their driver allegedly ran a red light and collided with another vehicle. Georgia alleges that she suffered multiple fractures requiring surgeries and extensive medical care, while John alleges he experienced diminished use of his wrist and a fractured sternum.

When they sought to hold Uber accountable in court, they were barred due to an arbitration clause that had reportedly been accepted via the Uber app. Uber argued that Georgia, a longtime customer of Uber Rides and Uber Eats, had agreed to arbitrate any disputes with the company on three separate occasions, including the most recent acceptance, which allegedly occurred while placing an Uber Eats order. The McGintys contended that it was their minor daughter, not Georgia, who had clicked to accept the terms while using Georgia's phone to order food, and that they were unaware of the implications of this action.

A lower court initially sided with the McGintys, ruling that the arbitration agreement was invalid due to unclear and ambiguous language. However, Uber appealed the decision, and the appellate court ultimately ruled in Uber's favor. The court held that the arbitration provision was valid and enforceable, regardless of whether Georgia herself or her daughter had accepted the terms using Georgia's account.

"Imagine allowing your child to use your phone to order dinner through Uber Eats," Khatibi said. "Then, a year later, you're injured in an Uber ride and want to seek justice in court—only to be told that your right to do so was waived due to a prior agreement, possibly accepted during that takeout order. Many consumers could find this unexpected and unfair."

"Even if Georgia accepted all the terms by clicking through, how many consumers truly understand they are waiving their right to go to court?" Khatibi added. "This issue extends beyond any single company or app. Most people either do not read or cannot easily read these lengthy agreements, especially when they are presented in small font on a cellphone. Even if they do, the legal jargon often makes it difficult to fully grasp the implications, leading many to overlook critical clauses that limit their rights."

Disney Case

In another case, Jeffrey Piccolo filed a wrongful death lawsuit after his wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from an alleged severe allergic reaction to a meal at a Disney park restaurant in 2023. Disney initially sought to enforce an arbitration clause from Piccolo's Disney+ streaming subscription, which he had signed up for years earlier. They also cited terms agreed upon when he purchased EPCOT tickets through the My Disney Experience app.

Eventually, Disney reversed its position and allowed the lawsuit to proceed in court, with some speculating that public outcry and negative press played a role in the decision. However, the attempt to apply arbitration clauses from seemingly unrelated services raises important questions.

"Consumers might feel like they've stepped into a real-life version of Alice in Wonderland," Khatibi remarked. "You sign up for Disney+ to watch your favorite movies, and suddenly you're facing potential obstacles when trying to seek justice in court after an injury at Disneyland."

Unfair Disadvantages for Loyal Customers

Khatibi pointed out the disparity in consumer rights based on how services are accessed.

"Let's consider a hypothetical. Consider two people visiting Disneyland," he explained. "One buys a ticket in person, while the other purchases through the Disney app and subscribes to Disney+. The loyal fan who engages more with Disney's digital services could end up with fewer rights if something goes wrong. If Disney had succeeded in enforcing these arbitration clauses, it would set a precedent where loyal customers are potentially at a disadvantage as a result of engaging more with a company's services and apps."

Another critical issue is how difficult it is to opt out of these arbitration clauses.

"We should simplify opt-out requirements," Khatibi urged. "Why can consumers opt in with a simple click, yet opting out often requires sending physical mail within a short time frame? This process is unnecessarily burdensome and discourages consumers from exercising their rights."

A Call for Greater Transparency

"I want to clarify that these examples are used to illustrate a critical issue that affects many consumers. This isn't about singling out any specific company or their legal strategies—it's about advocating for consumer rights and demanding greater transparency around arbitration clauses," Khatibi said.

"We're not debating whether arbitration clauses should exist or be enforced, that's a separate discussion," Khatibi clarified. "The issue is that consumers often aren't fully aware they're entering into such broad agreements. If you subscribe to Disney+ or order food from Uber Eats, why should that potentially prevent you or your loved ones from seeking justice in court if you're injured or die when visiting a theme park or taking a ride?"

He emphasized the need for consumers to understand the rights they're giving up.

"Even if you support arbitration clauses, most would agree that the average consumer should be fully informed about their implications and aware that they are agreeing to one," he said. "Convenience should not come at the expense of fundamental rights."

"While convenience is king in today’s digital world, it should not override justice," Khatibi continued. "Should ordering a late-night snack or subscribing to a streaming service determine whether you get to stand before a judge and jury?"

Local businesses are at risk of falling into common traps when using tools like ChatGPT for their website content. David Howse discusses how to best avoid them.

— David Howse, President Matterhorn Business Solutions Inc.

CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA, October 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing content creation, but local businesses are at risk of falling into common traps when using tools like ChatGPT for their website content. David Howse, a digital marketing expert, sheds light on these pitfalls in a recent interview with Calgary Business News.

In the article entitled, "Some Business Owners in Calgary are Struggling on How to Best Use ChatGPT and Other AI Writing Tools," Howse makes several important points on better AI use.

"The allure of AI-generated content is undeniable, but it's a double-edged sword," warns Howse. "Some Calgary businesses are unknowingly compromising their brand identity and credibility in their rush to adopt these tools."

According to Howse, the primary mistakes businesses make include:

Lack of Human Oversight: Relying solely on AI without human review can lead to inaccuracies and tone mismatches.

Overreliance on AI-Generated Content: Failing to balance AI-generated content with human creativity and expertise.

Ignoring Brand Voice: Allowing AI to overshadow the unique personality and tone of the brand.

Neglecting Fact-Checking: Assuming AI-generated information is always accurate without verification.

Using Unusual Words: Accepting AI's sometimes overly complex or inappropriate word choices.

"It's important for businesses to understand that AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity and judgment," Howse emphasizes. "The key is to harness AI's efficiency while maintaining the human touch that resonates with your audience."

Howse advises businesses to implement a robust review process for AI-generated content, ensuring it aligns with their brand voice and values. He also stresses the importance of fact-checking and fine-tuning AI outputs to maintain authenticity and relevance.

As AI continues to evolve, Calgary businesses must navigate this new landscape carefully. Howse's insights serve as a timely reminder of the balance needed between technological advancement and maintaining a genuine connection with customers.

Rubio releases new single "YUGEN," blending drum and bass with melancholic melodies. She’s set for a European tour after her Latin GRAMMY nomination.

— Rolling Stone

The artist had the luxury of exploring new genres for her project, creating through “YUGEN” a drum and bass beat, mixed with melodies that evoke sadness and melancholy. Together with Pablo Stipicic, Rubio composed this piece taking listeners on a journey through the deep reflections of her mind.

The Japanese term that gives “YUGEN” its name, refers to a deep and mysterious sense of the universe’s beauty, and the sad beauty of human suffering. With this concept in mind, Rubio explains: “It is this awareness of the universe that triggers emotional reactions that are too mysterious and profound to express in words. When you realize how long it took the universe to create the world we live in, when you think about how many cells make up your body, etc.” The artist's soft voice communicates feelings of crisis and conflict with oneself, linked to the environment in which one lives.

The “YUGEN” video was directed by Germán Tejada and shot in the bustling streets of Mexico City and the luscious greenery of Tepoztlán.

The song's tempo is matched by time lapses of a chaotic walk through the town, with intercuts of serenity visually represented through the greenery within the mountains. This continues the streak of carefully crafted visuals within Rubio's artistic world.

Rubio just received her first Latin GRAMMY nomination in the Best Long Form Music Video category for her short film, Nacimos Llorando. In the past few months, Rubio was on the road performing on her Venus & Blue Tour throughout US & Latin America, including stops at Outside Lands Festival in San Francisco, CA, and Festival Hera in Mexico City.

In October, Rubio will debut at the BIME conference in Bilbao and embark on a European tour, with performances in Barcelona, Madrid, and Madeira. Don’t miss her show on December 4th at The Lunario in Mexico City, tickets and more information for all shows here. More news and new music from Rubio coming soon!

Versión en Español

Los Ángeles, CA (4 de octubre de 2024) - Rubio, el experimento artístico de la reconocida artista, baterista y productora chilena Francisca Straube, lanza nuevo sencillo “YUGEN” a través de FAMA Collective, concluyendo así el lanzamiento de su proyecto Las Voces del Jacaranda. La artista se dio el lujo de explorar nuevos géneros para su proyecto, creando “YUGEN” con la ayuda de su batería y bajo, y con melodías que evocan tristeza y melancolía. Junto a Pablo Stipicic, Rubio compuso esta pieza que lleva a la audiencia a un viaje por las reflexiones profundas de su mente.

El término japonés, el cual le da nombre a “YUGEN,” significa un sentido profundo y misterioso de la belleza del universo, y la triste belleza del sufrimiento humano. Con este concepto en mente, Rubio explica: “Es esta conciencia del universo que desencadena reacciones emocionales que son demasiado misteriosas y profundas como para expresarlas con palabras. Cuando te das cuenta del tiempo que tardó el universo en crear el mundo en el que vivimos, cuando piensas en cuántas células forman tu cuerpo, etcétera”. La voz suave de la artista comunica en “YUGEN” sentimientos de crisis y conflicto con uno mismo, vinculados al entorno en el que se vive.

El video de “YUGEN” fue dirigido por Germán Tejada y grabado en las concurridas calles de la Ciudad de México y en la frondosa vegetación de Tepoztlán. El tempo de la canción va acompañado con lapsos de tiempo de un paseo caótico por la ciudad con interrupciones de serenidad representadas visualmente a través del verdor de las montañas. Esto continúa la racha de visuales cuidadosamente elaboradas dentro del mundo artístico de Rubio.

Rubio acaba de recibir su primera nominación al Latin GRAMMY bajo la categoría Mejor Video Musical Versión Larga con su cortometraje, Nacimos Llorando. En los últimos meses, Rubio estuvo en su gira Venus & Blue por Estados Unidos y América Latina, con paradas en el Outside Lands Festival en San Francisco, CA, y el Festival Hera en la Ciudad de México. En octubre, Rubio se presentará por primera vez en la conferencia de BIME en Bilbao y tendrá gira europea con paradas en Barcelona, Madrid, y Madeira. No te pierdas su presentación el 4 de diciembre en el Lunario en la Ciudad De México. Boletos y más información de su gira aquí. ¡Próximamente, más noticias y nueva música de Rubio!

Composer, Steven Chesne (2024)

The new album from Steven Chesne is now available on all major streaming platforms.

Diane Chesne (Co-Producer) and Steven Chesne at the official premiere live screening of the accompanying music video at the Clive Davis Theatre located in the Grammy® Museum in Los Angeles, CA on September 27, 2024.

“Liberators of Descendants”, an Electronic/World music track by Steven Chesne, wins the John Lennon Award in the Electronic division.

— STEVEN CHESNE

The John Lennon Songwriting Awards Competition was founded in 1997 and is a prestigious songwriting contest made possible by Yoko Ono Lennon. Songs in 12 music genre categories are judged by a panel of prominent music industry artists, producers, and executives. The winners are judged by originality, melody, composition, and lyrics. Some of the judges include George Clinton, Prince Royce, 311, and Flea (from Red Hot Chili Peppers).

"Liberators of the Descendants" is an electronic groove-based song featuring vocals in Ilonggo, Dine (Navajo), Hindi, and Korean languages in the A-section, and the triumphant B-section features Khmer, Gujarati, and Bosnian. It is the 4th track off the newly released album 'Descendants (in 79 Languages)’.

Composer Steven Chesne’s lifelong fascination with commonalities between people and cultures led him to create the concept album “Descendants (in 79 Languages)”, which was released on July 19, 2024. The words “We are the Descendants” are sung in 79 different languages by vocalists around the world and are nearly the only lyrics throughout the entire album which includes languages Khmer, French, Igbo, Portuguese, Xhosa, Korean, and Ukrainian, among many others. The album is an eclectic collection that crosses the genre lines of World-Beat, New Age, Neo-Classical, and Electronica, all bound by the one common phrase that weaves in and out through joyous dances, mysterious explorations, and contemplative orchestral pieces as it takes the listener on a musical journey of humanity.

This first-of-its-kind collection is the fruit of 4 years of production. It took Mr. Chesne a year to acquire and study recordings of accurate translations from native speakers in all 79 languages and then to compose a different melody for each phrase so that all of the phrases worked together musically. Another year was spent connecting with eminent vocalists and arranging recordings all over the world, from Madagascar to Albania, from Kenya to the Netherlands. The next two years were devoted to creating additional songs using these phrases, and producing the album and video. The album is currently on the Grammy^® ballot for Best Global Music Album where members of the Recording Academy^® will soon be voting on which albums will receive an official nomination.

Mr. Chesne is an accomplished musician who has won various accolades in his career for his work and has scored 17 theatrical films and over 300 episodes of prime-time network shows including: Batman: the Animated Series (nominated by the International Film Music Critics Association), Family Man, Family Matters, Getting By, Girls Across the Lake, Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, The Hogan Family, Kirk, Life Happens, Perfect Strangers, Step by Step, Two of a Kind, Valerie, LA Times Critics’ Pick Zen Noir, Determined, The Trip, and No Turning Back.

The track, “Liberators of the Descendants” and the new album, ‘Descendants (in 79 Languages)’ are currently available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. Music from the album is currently playing on community radio stations across the country and the official music film for the project most recently had its first "live" screening at the Clive Davis Theatre at the Grammy^® museum in Los Angeles, California on September 29.

Form 5695 Instructions

One such opportunity for homeowners in the United States is the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit, which can be claimed by filing Form 5695.

TRAVERSE CITY, MI, UNITED STATES, October 4, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the world continues to embrace a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to living, individuals and families are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their carbon footprint while also saving money.

One such opportunity for homeowners in the United States is the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit, which can be claimed by filing Form 5695. This tax credit is designed to incentivize homeowners to make energy-efficient improvements to their residences, thereby reducing energy consumption and contributing to a greener future.

Key Highlights of Filing Form 5695 to Claim Energy Tax Credits

1. Understanding Form 5695: Form 5695, officially titled "Residential Energy Credits," is the document that homeowners need to file in order to claim the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit. This form allows individuals to claim tax credits for qualified energy efficiency improvements made to their homes.

2. Eligible Improvements: Homeowners can claim tax credits for a variety of energy-efficient upgrades, including the installation of solar electric systems, solar water heating equipment, small wind energy property, geothermal heat pumps, and fuel cell property. These improvements not only benefit the environment but also lead to long-term cost savings on energy bills.

3. Calculating the Credit: The tax credit amount for qualified improvements is generally 30% of the cost, including installation, with no upper limit. However, certain limitations and restrictions apply, and it's essential for homeowners to carefully review the eligibility criteria and consult with a tax professional to maximize their potential credit.

4. Filing Process: Form 5695 is filed as part of the homeowner's annual tax return. It's important to ensure that all information provided is accurate and supported by documentation, such as receipts and manufacturer certifications for the installed energy-efficient property.

By taking advantage of the Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit, homeowners can not only reduce their tax liability but also contribute to a more sustainable future. Making energy-efficient upgrades to residential properties not only benefits individual homeowners but also has a positive impact on the environment by reducing overall energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

For more information on how to file Form 5695 and claim residential energy tax credits, homeowners are encouraged to visit https://nationaltaxreports.com/how-to-file-form-5695-for-residential-energy-tax-credits/

"I am thrilled to announce that our exhaustive search for a new Chief Supply Chain Officer (CSCO) has concluded. As we continue to promote from within and attract world-class outside talent to our organization, we seek leaders who not only bring relevant experience and industry expertise but also share our passion for Whataburger and our steadfast commitment to fresh ingredients, bold flavors, and extraordinary hospitality," Alexander Ivannikov, EVP and Chief Administrative Officer said.

"At Whataburger, we are sticklers for quality, and Todd's extensive background in developing quality systems across vast geographies was particularly valuable to us," Alexander added. "While our growth plans are ambitious, we only expand if we can maintain the same high standards for both product and experience. Todd brings a unique and valuable perspective to the CSCO role to help ensure we uphold these commitments as we grow."

Todd's career with CKE began in 2006 in Quality Assurance, where he managed compliance for both Carl's Jr. and Hardee's. During his tenure, he implemented a SaaS system to improve supplier and product management efficiency. In 2017, CKE promoted Todd to Vice President, Quality Assurance, leading Global Quality Assurance and Food Safety for 3,600 restaurants in 40 countries; and in 2019, he was promoted to Vice President of Purchasing and Quality Assurance.

In 2021, Todd became Senior Vice President of Supply Chain Management, a role that managed more than $1 billion in annual purchases and led four key departments: purchasing, distribution, quality assurance/product compliance, and restaurant food safety. His leadership extended to overseeing a distribution network of 15 warehouses and collaborating with culinary innovation teams to commercialize new products.

Todd holds a bachelor's degree in biology from the University of California at Riverside and a Master of Business Administration in Supply Chain Management from California State University, San Bernardino. Outside of work, he volunteers as an EMT and firefighter in the Nashville area. Todd and his wife, Jill, will relocate to San Antonio.

Todd's first day at Whataburger is Tuesday, Oct. 1.

"My first experience at Whataburger was more than 30 years ago during a family vacation in Texas. I'm excited to join the Whataburger family and contribute to the brand's legacy and growth," Todd said. "I was drawn to Whataburger by its rich heritage and legacy, and I look forward to growing the brand while honoring the traditions that shaped it."

The Sub Sandwich Brand Climbs Six Spots on Franchise Times Top 400 List

CINCINNATI, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Penn Station East Coast Subs, a leading fast-casual sandwich franchise brand, known for its fresh grilled subs and hand-cut fries, is honored to celebrate another impressive ranking on the Franchise Times Top 400. Penn Station sits at No. 208 on the newly released list of the best-performing franchise system in the country.

"It is a privilege to secure a position once again on the Franchise Times Top 400 list," said Lance Vaught, President of Penn Station East Coast Subs. "This recognition reflects the unwavering commitment and trust of our corporate team, franchise partners, and valued customers."

The Franchise Times Top 400 ranks franchise-based businesses on systemwide sales for the previous year. Penn Station has more than 320 locations nationwide, and together the system hit $267 million in sales in 2023, a $3 million dollar increase from the previous year.

"A key to our success is understanding the behavior of our customers. We know our customer experience is essential," explains Craig Dunaway, COO of Penn Station. "It is critical for brands to understand how customers order. We listen to our valued guests. Just a few months ago, we launched a loyalty app with enhanced technology, designed to strengthen the one-to-one connection with every customer and make it easier to order their favorite subs in minutes from their phone. Ultimately, the goal is to continue to enhance return on investment for our franchisees."

For nearly 40 years, the brand has been serving quality ingredients in a craveable and unique product that spans both lunch and dinner options. The brand's continued success can be attributed to the quality ingredients used in irresistible, hard to copy sandwiches. The franchise also serves hand-squeezed lemonade, freshly baked bread, fresh-cut fries, and high-quality meats—and does it all right in front of the customer's eyes. 

The Franchise Times Top 400 is the most comprehensive ranking of the largest United States franchises. The annual rankings, are the result of a five-month research process to determine each brand's global systemwide sales, based on the previous year's performance. To qualify, a company must be a legal U.S. franchise and franchisees must own at least 10 percent of the company's total units. 

The Franchise Top 400 honor is just the latest ranking Penn Station has earned over the last two months. Other recent awards include Penn Station recognition on Franchise Business Review's (FBR) list of Most Profitable Franchises and QSR Magazine's Top QSR Contenders for 2024.

About Penn Station East Coast Subs:

Jeff Osterfeld started the award-winning sandwich chain in 1985 in Dayton, Ohio. Three years later, he sold his first Penn Station franchise.

Jon Jeter, Author

WASHINGTON D.C., DC, UNITED STATES, October 15, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A new book, Class War in America: How the Elites Divide the Nation by Asking ‘Are You a Worker or Are You White?’ explores the history of a political strategy that dates back to Reconstruction and continues to influence American politics to this day.

Relying heavily on data (more than 300 footnotes) and storytelling, Class War shines a light on America’s heroic class warriors—from a Confederate general named William A. Mahone to a Black lesbian labor organizer named Moranda Smith; from Ethel Rosenberg to Lorraine Hansberry; Richard Pryor to Howard Zinn; Fred Hampton to the labor leader Walter Reuther—and its villains—Mahone, Reuther, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, Elon Musk and many more.

“It is not”, says Jeter, “that class is more fundamental than race, nor that race is more fundamental than class, but that you cannot parse one from the other if you truly want to understand America’s deepening inequality and ennui.”

Equal parts scholarship and literature, Class War in America describes Jim Crow as merely a means to an end for a landowning elite that struggled to put down a workers’ insurgency, demanding a bigger cut of the spoils as the 20th century dawned.

David Simon, creator of The Wire, had this to say about Class War in America: “Jeter’s historical rendering of the American labor movement and capital’s incessant misuse of race as a means of dividing workers from each other is carefully and definitively chronicled. Race hate and racial fears have long been the most valuable weapon in keeping working people disorganized, alienated and, in the end, cheated.”

Class War in America is certainly in the running for the most dangerous book in America.

CLASS WAR IN AMERICA: How the Elites Divide the Nation by Asking ‘Are You a Worker or Are You White? is available now.

JON JETER is a published book author and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist with more than 20 years of journalistic experience. He is a former Washington Post bureau chief and award-winning foreign correspondent on two continents, as well as a former radio and television producer for Chicago Public Media’s “THIS AMERICAN LIFE.” Jeter is a Knight Fellowship recipient – Stanford University’s highest professional journalism award — as well as the author of FLAT BROKE IN THE FREE MARKET (WW Norton, 2009), co-author of A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT (Wiley & Sons, 2010) and CLASS WAR IN AMERICA (DRUM Publishing, 2024).

DRUM PUBLISHING was founded in 2024 to restore the authentic Black voice that is largely absent from today’s public discourse. DRUM publications combine narrative nonfiction with Black scholarship to inform our collective decision-making in what is a critical moment in the nation’s history.

— Dr. Arwen Podesta

Dr. Arwen Podesta, owner of Podesta Wellness in New Orleans, Louisiana, emphasizes that addiction is a brain disorder with deep neurological implications. "Drug addiction alters brain pathways in a way that reshapes the brain's reward system and decision-making processes," she explains. These changes make it difficult for individuals to break free from the cycle of substance abuse, as the brain becomes increasingly dependent on the drug to maintain a sense of normalcy.

How Drugs Affect the Brain’s Reward System
One of the most significant ways that drugs alter the brain is by targeting its reward system, a network of neurons responsible for reinforcing behaviors that are beneficial for survival, such as eating and social interaction. This system is primarily driven by dopamine, a neurotransmitter that promotes feelings of pleasure and satisfaction.

When an individual uses drugs, this natural reward system becomes hijacked. Drugs like cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine stimulate the release of large amounts of dopamine, creating an intense sense of euphoria. This surge in dopamine is far greater than what the brain would experience from natural rewards, which is why drugs can be so powerfully addictive. Over time, the brain adapts to these unnaturally high levels of dopamine by reducing the number of dopamine receptors or lowering dopamine production. This downregulation process, known as tolerance, leaves individuals feeling less pleasure from the drug and also less pleasure from everyday activities, driving them to seek out the drug to achieve the same euphoric effect.

The disruption of the brain’s reward system, whether related to predisposing genetic factors or to environment or to drug exposer itself, is a central feature of addiction. As the individual continues using the drug, the brain becomes rewired to prioritize drug-seeking behavior, making it difficult to control impulses or make rational decisions. This phenomenon explains why people with addiction often struggle to stop using drugs despite knowing the negative consequences.

Long-Term Changes in Brain Pathways The effects of drug addiction are not limited to the reward system. Prolonged drug use can cause structural and functional changes in other key areas of the brain, including the prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Repeated drug-use, and also repeated use then withdrawal cycles, weakens the connections between neurons in the prefrontal cortex, impairing executive functioning, including impairing an individual's ability to weigh the risks and benefits of their actions. This loss of control is a hallmark of addiction and contributes to the compulsive drug use seen in many individuals with substance use disorders.

Additionally, the brain’s stress and anxiety pathways are significantly affected by drug addiction. Chronic drug use can alter the brain’s stress response, making individuals more sensitive to stressors in their environment. This heightened stress sensitivity often leads to drug use as a coping mechanism, perpetuating the cycle of addiction.

Dr. Podesta notes that "the changes in the brain's stress pathways are a major reason why addiction is such a chronic condition. Individuals with addiction often experience intense cravings and withdrawal symptoms when they attempt to stop using the drug, making it very difficult to achieve lasting recovery."

Neuroplasticity and Addiction One of the key insights into the neuroscience of addiction is the concept of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to change and adapt in response to experience. While neuroplasticity allows the brain to develop and learn new skills, it also means that repeated drug use can engrain addictive behaviors into the brain’s circuitry. The longer an individual uses drugs, the more deeply these behaviors become wired into the brain, making recovery a complex and challenging process.

However, neuroplasticity also offers hope for those struggling with addiction. Just as the brain can adapt to drug use, it can also rewire itself during the recovery process. With the right treatment, individuals can form new, healthier connections in the brain that support long-term sobriety. This is why many treatment programs focus on behavioral therapies that encourage positive habits and coping mechanisms to replace drug-seeking behaviors. Using precise individualized treatment plans, Dr. Podesta creates treatment plans for her patients in which she recommends additional tools to enhance neuroplascticity, such as certain micronutrients, hyperbaric oxygen, techniques and more.

The Role of Genetics in Addiction While the environment plays a critical role in the development of addiction, genetic factors also contribute to an individual’s susceptibility to substance use disorders. Studies have shown that genetic variations can influence how a person’s brain responds to drugs, with some individuals being more prone to addiction due to inherited traits. For example, genetic differences in the dopamine system may affect how intensely a person experiences pleasure from drug use, which can increase the risk of addiction.

Moreover, genetics can also play a role in how quickly an individual develops tolerance and dependence on a drug. Those with a family history of addiction may have a higher likelihood of developing substance use disorders themselves. This understanding of the genetic basis of addiction underscores the importance of personalized treatment approaches that consider an individual’s genetic background.

Treatment Implications: A Holistic Approach The growing understanding of how drugs alter brain pathways has profound implications for treatment. Addiction is not a moral failing or a lack of willpower, but rather a chronic brain disease that requires comprehensive medical and psychological care. Treatment programs that address the neurological aspects of addiction, including therapies that target the brain’s reward and decision-making systems, are essential for long-term recovery.

Medications that regulate neurotransmitter levels can be used to help restore balance to the brain and reduce cravings, while behavioral therapies can support the brain’s neuroplasticity, helping individuals develop new ways of thinking and coping. Effective treatment requires a multifaceted approach that addresses the biological, psychological, and social factors contributing to addiction.

Dr. Podesta’s practice at Podesta Wellness in New Orleans emphasizes the importance of treating addiction from a neuroscientific perspective. By addressing the underlying changes in brain pathways, treatment programs can offer individuals the tools they need to manage cravings, reduce the risk of relapse, and rebuild a healthy, fulfilling life.

Conclusion The neuroscience of drug addiction reveals that substance use disorders are deeply rooted in the brain’s pathways, affecting both the reward system and key areas involved in decision-making and stress management. Understanding these neurological changes is critical for developing effective treatment strategies that can help individuals break free from the cycle of addiction. As the field of neuroscience continues to evolve, new insights into brain function will play a crucial role in shaping the future of addiction treatment.

Shannon’s has become the leading auction house for American art and this season proves their strength in attracting quality consignments in this genre. The firm secured 15 paintings from a major private collection of American art. Many of the paintings from this group are fresh-to-the-market, having been in private hands for decades.

The top lot from this collection is an exceptional Alfred Thompson Bricher, titled Morning at Narragansett – The Turn of the Tide (1871), estimated at $150,000-$200,000. This masterful, Luminist painting depicts a mother with her two children enjoying a day at the beach, young boys playing in the gentle waves, and a couple walking in the sand.

Entries accepted 10/25 to 10/29.
• Tug Of War Showdown: Users can vote for their favorite flavor and toppings in a froyo tug-of-war on the @16Handles Instagram story.

"I can't wait to see all the tongue pics with our social media challenges and I know this launch will bring some new guests in our stores across the county to try 16 Handles for the first time!"

16 Handles pushes the boundaries of innovation and flavor, with recent limited-edition monthly launches including flavors like French Fry, Butter Beer, Dune Spice and Keto Chocolate Brownie, alongside staples like Classic Vanilla, Original Tart, and Made with Nutella. The menu features 16 different soft serve flavors, 50+ toppings, and sauces, as well as a variety of frozen novelties such as cakes, take-home pints, and DŌ gourmet edible cookie dough. 16 Handles is a national franchise brand that features a contemporary store design and unparalleled customer experience.

Trophy hunting entails using dogs to trap mountain lions up a tree

Richard Reading, James Pribyl, and CPW Commissioners say commercial trapping and trophy hunting of big cats violates wildlife management principles

— Parks and Wildlife Commission Vice Chair Richard Reading

“Proposition 127 bans chasing mountain lions with dogs, in which the ‘hunter’ follows the GPS signal from the dogs’ collars to a treed lion, walks up and shoots the animal. That is not hunting, and something we would never allow with ungulates (animals with hooves),” writes Parks and Wildlife Commission Vice Chair Richard Reading, PhD, a wildlife biologist, in his letter published Sunday in the Ark Valley Voice. “Similarly, bobcats are trapped not for personal use, but for the sale of their fur for sale to buyers from outside the U.S. — the very definition of commodification.”

The CPW Commission is the governing body that sets policy on wildlife for all citizens across the great state of Colorado.

“Prop 127 allows voters to recognize not all hunting is defensible, and these are indefensible state-sanctioned acts of cruelty,” explains James Pribyl, Jack Murphy and Jessical Beaulieu in their opinion piece in the Grand Junction Sentinel Sunday.

Murphy, Beaulieu and Reading are three current members of the CPW Commission, while Pribyl is the former Chair. Commissioners were appointed to the commission by two former governors.

“Opponents of Proposition 127 argue that we must allow our agency to professionally and scientifically manage wildlife. Nothing in Proposition 127 prevents the agency from doing that, it simply sets the ground rules by which the agency operates. We already do that. We do not permit use of night lights and baiting, for example. Yes, we may have to change some management, but our professionals at CPW are up to the task,” Reading says.

“Prop 127 is based on not a little, but more than a half-century of the best science as evidence for commissioners to confidently tell the voters that lion populations will stabilize, not increase, without hunting. In California without lion hunting, populations are stable, not increasing, and at the same level as they are here in Colorado,” multiple Commissioners report.

A “YES” on 127 protects mountain lions from trophy hunters while allowing management to protect people, pets and livestock. A “YES” on 127 preserves the balance of nature.

The Commissioners join a larger group of leading wildlife biologists who report that the scientific consensus is that mountain lion populations do not ever need to be trophy hunted, because populations naturally balance themselves based on environmental factors. That list includes Dan Ashe, the long-time director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the nation’s top wildlife manager. And Elaine Leslie, PhD, Chief of Biological Resources for the National Park Service, who lives in Durango.

Weeks ago, 22 top wildlife scientists, many of them with field experience studying lions in the West, wrote a letter to Colorado voters reminding them that lions are self-limiting and that they preserve the balance of nature, even reducing the incidence and spread of Chronic Wasting Disease in deer and elk. 

That letter may be read HERE.

The scientists also noted that trophy hunting creates chaos among lion populations, creating a population with more juveniles less experienced at killing traditional prey.

Prop 127, as commissioners note, allows control of any lion or bobcat involved in conflicts by state or federal authorities. Those exemptions cover livestock or pet protection and human safety.

Breaking Barriers: FREE Legal Help for Students Expands, Covering 100% of WI!

Addressing Critical Legal Challenges
Civil legal issues often affect fundamental aspects of life, including family stability, housing security, access to benefits, and employment opportunities. Unfortunately, many learners, particularly those living at or near the poverty line, face significant barriers to obtaining legal help. Consider the following:

92% of civil legal issues faced by low-income Americans remain unresolved due to inadequate access to legal resources (Source: Legal Services Corporation). This amounts to over 120 million unmet legal needs yearly (Source: Stanford Law School). Rural areas are particularly affected, creating "legal deserts" where legal services are scarce and access to justice is severely limited (Source: Wisconsin Law Journal).

Immediate Benefits for Learners Since its founding in 2019, Lawyers for Learners has been addressing these challenges head-on. Lawyers for Learners collaborate with Ascendium Education Group, Wisconsin schools, and legal aid providers, including Legal Action of Wisconsin, Judicare Legal Aid, and clinics at the University of Wisconsin and Marquette law schools. Over 3,000 learners have contacted Lawyers for Learners for help with legal problems that might have jeopardized their academic progress or future employment. In 2024 alone, 678 learners accessed the program's services, demonstrating the urgent need for legal support.

The requests span a range of legal issues, such as criminal records, rental housing issues, family matters, driver's license recovery, immigration, name and gender changes, and public benefits. Some legal issues, like criminal records, can prevent learners from pursuing certain career paths. Others, like family law and housing, create tremendous stressors in people's lives that can impede their ability to access or succeed at education, training, or employment opportunities.

Expanding Statewide Access to Legal Resources Lawyers for Learners now partners with all 31 public colleges and universities in Wisconsin, covering 100% of the state. The program helps learners access critical legal support by working closely with educational institutions. Approximately 62% of learners who reached out for assistance learned about the program through school communications or staff members, emphasizing the importance of these partnerships.

Empowering Institutions to Support Learners "Those of us who work with students know we can refer them to Lawyers for Learners for free, confidential legal assistance through an easy-to-navigate, seamless process," Jackie Morgan, a student equity and resource specialist at Moraine Park Technical College, said. "Lawyers for Learners is an impactful resource in our toolkit, providing a much-needed service that bridges the justice gap and advocates for our students and community."

By connecting learners to legal support, postsecondary institutions can help eliminate barriers to educational attainment and employment, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to succeed in their academic and career goals.

About Lawyers for Learners: Lawyers for Learners connects Wisconsin learners with free, confidential legal help and resources to overcome legal obstacles and stay on the path to achieving their academic and career goals. For more information about Lawyers for Learners or to request legal assistance, visit their website at lawyersforlearners.org.

About Ascendium Education Group: Ascendium Education Group is committed to making education and training after high school a reality for learners from low-income backgrounds. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Ascendium funds initiatives across the U.S. that help learners from low-income backgrounds achieve upward mobility; provide student and employee success solutions to colleges and businesses; invest in education-focused innovations to improve learner outcomes; and provide information, tools, and counseling to help millions of borrowers successfully repay their federal student loans. While Ascendium has many roles, they have one goal — elevating opportunity by creating a world where everyone can reach their highest potential. To learn more, visit ascendiumeducation.org.

Bring the whole family on October 19, 2024 to the Calgary Chinese Cultural Centre.

— Amanda Hamilton

This family-friendly event offers live entertainment, interactive activities, and community connection.

Spark Joy: Celebrate Living is designed to bring together people of all ages and backgrounds, celebrating life and the power of community. From traditional Lion and Dragon dances to mesmerizing magic shows, martial arts performances, and face painting, attendees will experience a day filled with excitement, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

Admission is $20 per person, with free entry for kids, and delicious food and beverages available from local vendors.

Event highlights include:

- Lion & Dragon Dance by the Jing Wo Cultural Association

- Magic show by renowned magician Malcolm Russell

- Martial arts performance by the Mo Fan Taichi Wushu Academy

- Face painting by Smileland, perfect for children and the young at heart

- And much more!

This event is more than just entertainment – it’s a celebration of life and community. Spark Group’s mission is to ignite kindness, empower individuals, and bring people together for meaningful change.

Kathryn Waslen, founder of Spark Group, created the organization after facing personal tragedy. Following the diagnosis and eventual loss of her partner, she recognized the gaps in how communities support one another during challenging times.

“I realized that grief is shared and that it is universal. We all find ourselves in a variety of life changing circumstances. I like to think of grief as a reorientation towards living. Unexpectedly, I also found that it can be a creative process. I continue to learn and explore the art of healing. Community shouldn’t just be something we turn to in hardship, but something we experience in everyday life. It can be a challenge but attempting to always spot the goodness, in my opinion, is a worthwhile pursuit. Spark Group is about creating spaces where people can celebrate life, support one another, learn, experience togetherness and find beauty and hope in all the moments.”

Amanda Hamilton, spokesperson for the event, also shares her own personal experiences of finding joy in difficult moments. “This event, and Spark Group, are about reimagining how we can come together – not just during life’s tough moments, but to celebrate and support one another every day,” says Amanda. “This is more than an event. It’s a joyful revolution, and we’re inviting everyone to join.”

Spark Group is a community-driven organization dedicated to empowering individuals and creating lasting, positive change. By focusing on virtues like kindness, playfulness, heart power, and gentleness, Spark Group’s projects inspire and uplift communities, encouraging people to take small but meaningful actions that contribute to a brighter, more compassionate world.

Join us on October 19 for the Spark Joy: Celebrate Living event and experience the magic of community, connection, and celebration. Tickets are available for purchase on Eventbrite.

MEDFORD, Ore., Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Human Bean drive-thrus across the U.S. are inviting customers to "drink pink" on Friday, October 18 for the company's annual Coffee for a Cure breast cancer giveback event. All food and beverage proceeds on this day — from all locations — will be donated to local breast cancer foundations. 

This is the coffee company's largest nationwide fundraiser of the year, held each October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In 2021, the latest year with complete statistics available, there were 272,454 new cases of breast cancer reported in the United States. This is the equivalent of 134 cases for every 100,000 women (according to CDC data).

"With each year's Coffee for a Cure event, the aim is to raise awareness and help save the lives of women in our communities," says Rhonda Hawkins, co-founder of The Human Bean. "It's about celebrating strength, honoring loved ones, and spreading a message of hope to breast cancer patients and survivors."

Coming soon, the event's official pink and orange cups will be served at drive-thrus to encourage customers to return on October 18 for the giveback event. This year's theme of "Season of Hope" is illustrated in a cup that highlights both the season and the essential message of hope for breast cancer patients and survivors. There will also be limited edition Coffee for a Cure tumblers and Sili Pints available for sale at select locations and online.

Since 2005, The Human Bean's Coffee for a Cure giveback program has raised over $3.5 million. With this year's goal of breaking the $4 million mark, all locations nationwide will donate 100% of food and beverage sales to local foundations — funds can be used to support patients with mammograms, post-diagnosis care and support, and breast cancer education.

The Human Bean customers and fans are invited to spread awareness by tagging #CoffeeForACure on Instagram while sharing their stories and photos.

About The Human BeanWith a passion for creating happy 'Human Beans', the company's drive-thrus around the U.S. have established a reputation for friendly baristas, high-quality coffee, and innovative flavors. The Human Bean opened its first espresso stand in Ashland, Oregon in 1998, and currently supports over 260 locations open or under development in 23 states.

• With Four Pillars of Service Under the Foundation, The New Initiative Aims to Inspire Young Entrepreneurs
• Fast-Growing Pizza Brand Kickstarts New Partnership with Round Up Donations
• This Marks Foundation's Second National Non-Profit Collaboration, After Raising Over $475,000 for No Kid Hungry

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Marco's Pizza Foundation joins forces with Junior Achievement USA (JA) to further fuel entrepreneurial opportunity for young people. With a goal of reaching $500,000 in donations to the Junior Achievement organization, the Foundation looks to support its mission of providing tools, resources, and hands-on learning opportunities for students to promote financial literacy, workforce readiness, and inspire entrepreneurship.

The nationwide collaboration unites the Marco's Pizza brand, its franchisees, and the communities it serves around a shared mission. Funds collected at each location will be directly donated to the Foundation, which will allocate a portion of those funds to JA to be distributed to local Junior Achievement chapters, affirming the brand's belief in actively benefitting the communities it serves. To participate, guests are encouraged to round up or give a $1, $3 or $5 donation when ordering their favorite menu items. For those interested in donating directly to the Foundation, they are encouraged to visit marcos.com/foundation*.

"We have an obligation as an organization to be a source of good in our local communities," said the Marco's Pizza Foundation President and Multi-Unit Franchisee Stephanie Moseley. "At Marco's, we believe in the power of uplifting students to unlock their full potential. Now, we will provide resources to spark big dreams across the country."

The Marco's Pizza Foundation's mission is to bring people together to nurture and nourish the communities they call home through four cause pillars - school and education, hunger prevention & nutrition, workforce development, and entrepreneurship. The partnership with Junior Achievement places a special focus on providing young people with the tools and resources to inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs. As a franchisee-focused organization, Marco's Pizza has witnessed the overwhelming impact of entrepreneurship on individuals and communities and is eager to provide resources to an organization that offers valuable guidance for those looking to start and own their own businesses.

With over 100 offices in all 50 states, Junior Achievement has amassed a large network of dedicated volunteers in inner cities, suburbs, and rural areas. As they continue to provide resources to over 4.4 million students per year, donations help provide additional resources, classrooms, and supplies to further the reach of the organization.

"Our efforts with Marco's Pizza are a testament to the power of collaboration in shaping the future," said Tim Greinert, President of Junior Achievement USA. "As an organization founded on the idea of promoting business ownership, they are a great partner to show our students across the country that business ownership is possible, and there are resources to achieve it. Together, we can equip young minds with the skills, resources, and inspiration they need to become the entrepreneurs and leaders of tomorrow."

For many Marco's franchisees, Junior Achievement was a resource personally utilized, serving as a reminder of the power the organization holds. Travis Worley, a former Junior Achievement student, and his wife Jackie, Marco's Pizza franchisees in Arkansas, continue to have a thriving relationship with the organization.

"I remember being a JA kid myself and for one of our projects we learned how to make a product and business plan that would be successful in our home state of Ohio," said Travis Worley, Franchisee and Area Representative for Marco's Pizza. "I got introduced to the feeling of running a successful business, a memory I carry with me today. Junior Achievement supported and nurtured my entrepreneurial spirit when I was just a kid, and we are extremely lucky to have the opportunity to grant that same support to other local children."

Now, the duo volunteers with Junior Achievement to give students a glimpse into their world as business owners with interactive workshops that allow children a behind the scenes look of the pizza industry.

This is the Marco's Pizza Foundation's second time teaming up with a national non-profit organization to make a big impact in communities nationwide. Previously, the Foundation worked with No Kid Hungry, resulting in $475K in aid to help ensure that all kids in the U.S. have access to three meals a day. Now the Foundation is eager to engage customers across the country by helping JA provide resources to local children in hopes of fueling their successful futures.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NATSO, representing truck stops and travel plazas, and a diverse coalition from restaurants and fuel retailers to city governments, transportation energy providers, and blind entrepreneurs today urged lawmakers to oppose the RECHARGE Act (S.4989), introduced by Senators Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), which threatens to halt private investment in electric vehicle charging stations by amending the longstanding federal law prohibiting automotive services at rest areas.

Incentivizing the thousands of travel centers, gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, and hotels located near the Interstate Highway to offer electric vehicle charging and other alternative fuels represents the best way to prompt investments in low-carbon fuel technologies and limit range anxiety for electric vehicle drivers.

"Rather than undermine off-highway businesses, policymakers have an opportunity to build upon positive momentum by solving the most pressing existing impediments to charging station investment, rather than creating new ones," the associations wrote in a letter to the U.S. Senate. "Maintaining the ban on commercialization, and developing incentive programs within that regulatory structure, will foster the proliferation of EV charging in the long-term."

Allowing EV charging stations at rest areas will discourage private investment in electric fuel by creating an unlevel playing field in which state governments do not have to compete for customers from an advantaged location on the Interstate right-of-way.  Since 1960, federal law has prohibited the sale of automotive services and food at state operated rest areas to encourage competition between private businesses located at the Interstate exits.

Altering the longstanding law prohibiting commercial rest areas also threatens the livelihood of blind business owners who currently enjoy a priority for installing and operating vending machines at Interstate rest areas. If commercialized rest areas were allowed, these business owners would be out of work virtually overnight.

Congress directed state transportation departments to work with the private sector to kick-start a nationwide network of electric vehicle charging stations by establishing the $5 billion National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Grant Program under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The private sector is actively participating in the program in many states. Federal policy set through the IIJA and NEVI grant program is designed to leverage private investment in electric vehicle charging. The RECHARGE Act threatens to undermine those policies when they are just gaining momentum.

NATSO was joined in signing the letter by SIGMA: America's Leading Fuel Marketers; Energy Marketers of America; National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS); National Federation of the Blind; National League of Cities; National Restaurant Association; and the National Retail Federation.

About NATSO, representing travel centers and truck stops: NATSO is the trade association of America's travel plaza and truck stop industry. Founded in 1960, NATSO represents the industry on legislative and regulatory matters; serves as the official source of information on the diverse travel plaza and truck stop industry; provides education to its members; conducts an annual convention and trade show; and supports efforts to generally improve the business climate in which its members operate.

Experior is proud to announce its recent fundraising event, "Shine with Experior: Stride & Ride," which raised $18,492 to support the Shine Foundation.

— CBDO, Shawn Redford

The fundraising event was part of Experior Financials' ongoing commitment to support the Shine Foundation, a Canadian charity dedicated to fulfilling the dreams of young people with disabilities. In line with its $1 million, five-year commitment to Shine, Experior matched the donations raised by participants to double the impact.

“We are overwhelmed by the dedication and passion shown by our team and our partners,” said Shawn Redford, Chief Business Development Officer and Chair of the Experior Charitable Giving Committee. “The funds raised will go directly to making dreams come true for young people who face incredible physical challenges.

Contributions from major partners, including Empire Life and Assumption Life, added $3,000 to the total.

Thanks to the generosity of participants and sponsors, the event was able to surpass initial fundraising expectations, with enough raised to fund three Shine Dreams so far. Each Shine Dream offers life-changing experiences that empower young people to overcome challenges and embrace new possibilities.

Supporting Shine Beyond Stride & Ride For those unable to participate in the Stride & Ride event, donations remain open through the Shine Foundation’s official website. Additionally, sponsorship opportunities are still available for those who wish to contribute further to this cause.

Eleven secondary winners will win surprise birthday presents. Fans can enter on social media beginning Sept. 18, and details on how to enter are here.

Lawrence Shipley Sr. opened the Shipley Cream Glazed Do-Nuts bakery at 1417 Crockett St. in Houston in 1936, selling hot glazed donuts for five cents a dozen. Using a proprietary recipe that he created himself, Shipley made the donuts fresh daily, hand-cutting them into their now-famous hexagon shape and cooking them to light, fluffy perfection. The signature hot glazed donut – still handmade fresh using the same recipe – remains the brand's best seller.

"Our 88^th birthday marks one dozen – our favorite number here at Shipley – years from our 100^th. We wanted to take a moment to celebrate the sweet success we've experienced for nearly a century as we keep growing and bringing our famous donuts and kolaches to more people across the country," said Shipley Do-Nuts CEO Flynn Dekker. "Not many brands have had the opportunity, like we have, to serve generations of guests and become a part of family traditions. We're looking forward to even more growth and innovation over our next 88 years."

Shipley recently received recognition from the Texas Historical Commission's Texas Treasure Business Award program for its exceptional historical contributions to the state's economic growth and prosperity. The fast-growing brand has plans to double in size over the next five years.

AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Upgraded Points' latest analysis examines which NFL stadiums provide the most concessions variety, ranking each stadium based on the breadth of options and food accessibility by section and crowd density. Whether a home team supporter or traveling across the country to cheer on favorite players, enjoying great food fuels great game-day memories.

"Football isn't just about the touchdowns, it's about the full fan experience," said Keri Stooksbury, editor-in-chief at Upgraded Points. "Our study took an analytical approach to find which stadiums offer the highest number and the most accessible concession options. That way, fans can be best equipped to grab snacks while cheering for their team."

Study Methodology

To identify the NFL stadiums with the most concession options, Upgraded Points analyzed the approximate number of food and beverage locations available at each venue, using information sourced directly from each stadium's official website. Concession locations were defined as any point within the stadium where food and/or beverages were offered to fans. They also compare the number of concessions to each stadium's seating capacity and the approximate number of seating sections to highlight the stadiums where concessions are most accessible.

Top 5 NFL Stadiums for Game Day Eats

1. Leading the League in Options: State Farm Stadium

• Home Team: Arizona Cardinals
• Location: Glendale, Arizona
• Total Concessions: 176

State Farm Stadium sits in the top spot with 176 concession locations, making it the NFL stadium with the most food and beverage options. Fans can indulge in seven new restaurant options this season, further enhancing the game day atmosphere.

3. Fan Favorites and Fresh Sushi: Mercedes-Benz Stadium

• Home Team: Atlanta Falcons
• Location: Atlanta, Georgia
• Total Concessions: 151

With 151 concession locations, Mercedes-Benz Stadium offers fans a first-class experience. The 2024 season includes exciting new features like the Gallagher Club and Lounge, as well as freshly prepared sushi.

“If the personal security of your family and country is of utmost importance, please read on,” Scott said.

“If we hope to alert military leaders, Congress, and the nation to the dangers of DEI/CRT in the military, STARRS must expand its voice to more Americans at the grassroots level,” Scott said.

"Therefore, STARRS is expanding its outreach efforts to increase awareness of our purpose, activities, and mission to a wider audience in all 50 states," Scott said.

Part of this effort involves identifying and recruiting state volunteers to organize a statewide network of people who support a strong military and want to help STARRS spread the word about the dangerous Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) programs that are weakening our military's combat readiness.

• We have the smallest military since before WWII (1930’s).

• The Military Services were short 41,000 in 2023. https://americanmilitarynews.com/2023/12/us-military-41000-troops-short-of-recruitment-goal/#google_vignette

• For the first time in 7 years, the Heritage Foundation rated our military as “weak” in 2023 – downgraded from “marginal” the year prior.

• The highest ranking 4-Star in our military says our military must be color-conscious instead of color-blind regarding race. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjPco68usEo

• Because of DEI, CRT, and other woke policies, the best-qualified candidates for given positions are often rejected in favor of less qualified based on quotas for skin color, gender, and sexual orientation. https://starrs.us/congresss-ndaa-merit-provision-enables-more-of-the-identity-politics-destroying-our-military/

STARRS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, apolitical, and non-partisan organization of retired military members and patriots who educate our fellow Americans on the dangers of the racist, radical, and divisive CRT/DEI Marxist ideology infiltrating our military.

“YOU CAN HELP by volunteering to be or assist a State Leader,” Scott said. “STARRS ‘Outreach Leaders’ will personally train you, provide you with ready-made messages and materials, and support your efforts,” said Scott.

Here are a few ways to volunteer:
• Be a STARRS State Leader • Be a STARRS Assistant State Leader • Be a STARRS State Section Leader • Help out STARRS leaders in my state • Help organize events in my state • Help spread the STARRS message using social media (e.g. LinkedIn) • Conduct research; analyze reports • Attend/Monitor govt meetings (virtual or in-person) • Write articles related to STARRS's mission • Help with fundraising • Provide useful Congressional or other contacts for STARRS • Other

If you have questions about being a Volunteer, contact STARRS at starrsoutreach@icloud.com.

If you are ready to volunteer now, go to the STARRS website https://starrs.us and click the Volunteer menu or go here: https://starrs.us/volunteer/

Once your Volunteer Form is received, your STARRS State Leader will contact you to discuss how you can support the STARRS mission.

Chicago Law Firm Contributes to the Skylar Henkes Foundation

Chicago Law Firm Contributes to the Skylar Henkes Foundation

— Jack Beam, founder and partner at Beam Legal Team

CHICAGO, IL, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Beam Legal Team, a Chicago-based law firm specializing in birth injury cases, is pleased to announce a $25,000 donation to the Skylar Henkes Foundation. Founded in memory of Skylar, a vibrant 3-year-old girl with cerebral palsy who loved spending time outdoors and gardening, the foundation aims to create a more inclusive and accessible community for individuals with disabilities in southern West Virginia. It carries on Skylar's spirit by offering fresh-cut flowers to the community and providing essential resources like adaptive equipment and home accessibility modifications.

“This generous donation from Beam Legal Team has more than doubled our funding for the first grant period,” said Autumn Henkes, board president of the Skylar Henkes Foundation. “This will allow us to help children like Adam, a young boy who was denied coverage by insurance for a Rifton activity chair. We were able to provide funding for Adam to receive this essential equipment. The chair will give Adam proper positioning, allowing him to focus on both schoolwork and playtime activities. Beam Legal Team fights for justice and genuinely cares about the well-being of children facing disabilities.”

"Skylar's story deeply touched our firm," said Jack Beam, founder and partner at Beam Legal Team. "We see the daily struggles families face as a result of birth injuries, and we believe every child deserves the opportunity to live a fulfilling life. We are honored to support the Skylar Henkes Foundation's mission of creating a world where children like Skylar can thrive."

The Beam Legal Team’s commitment to the community is unwavering. Whether supporting global initiatives like Doctors Without Borders or local endeavors like the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a deep-rooted belief in advocacy and service drives the firm’s actions. The recent donation to the Skylar Henkes Foundation is a testament to this commitment as the law firm strives to create a more inclusive and accessible community for individuals with disabilities.

California's Sizzling Hot Chicken Sensation Set to Spice Up Mantua, Washington, and Gloucester Townships

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Red Chickz, the fast-casual sensation known for its West Coast twist on the crunchiest, most flavorful Nashville Hot Chicken on the market, is again spreading its wings. The brand is thrilled to announce the signing of a 3-unit development deal that will introduce its famous hot chicken to New Jersey, with new locations planned for Mantua Township, Washington Township, and Gloucester Township.

A Bold Move in Nationwide Expansion

TLDR:

• Seeing fans' callouts on National Taco Day not landing on Taco Tuesday, Taco Bell secures official approval from National Day Calendar to move the nationally recognized holiday to the first Tuesday of October, permanently.
• The change will begin this year, officially moving National Taco Day from Friday, October 4 to Tuesday, October 1.
• The move was set into motion after Taco Bell freed 'Taco Tuesday' making all, including National Day Calendar, free to use the phrase.
• National Taco Day assets can be found here.

IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark your calendars because National Taco Day is getting a new date thanks to the efforts of Taco Bell and support from National Day Calendar. As it stood, National Taco Day was annually celebrated on October 4, making the odds of a combined National Taco Day and Taco Tuesday an epically joyous rarity. To right this wrong, Taco Bell has worked tirelessly with the powers that be, in this case National Day Calendar, to move the National Taco Day recognition to fall solely on Tuesdays henceforth. The change will officially take place in 2024, moving National Taco Day from Friday, October 4 to Tuesday, October 1.

The Official Day CalendarSince 2013, National Day Calendar has been the original and authoritative entity curating, registering and celebrating national days, weeks, months and international days. Changes in the calendar, while not impossible, are a rarity.

"For years, we've celebrated National Taco Day on October 4th, but it's always felt like there was a bigger opportunity to align it with something even more special—Taco Tuesday," said Marlo Anderson, founder of National Day Calendar. "Thanks to Taco Bell's efforts, we're excited to officially move National Taco Day to the first Tuesday in October, creating the Taco Tuesday of all Taco Tuesdays. National Day Calendar has always thrived on the grassroots support of people who love celebrating these moments, and this change is a perfect example of that. It's more than just moving a date—it's about bringing taco lovers together in a bigger way, and we couldn't be more excited!"

The History of National Taco DayNational Taco Day began much earlier than the modernized and marketed celebration we know today. According to Gustavo Arellano, author of the 2012 book "Tacos USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America", its origin can be dated back to the 1960's in San Antonio, Texas from Roberto L. Gomez, Esq. While the celebration eventually grew from a day to a week, to eventually a month, National Taco Day was locally celebrated on May 3, celebrating the week leading up to Cinco de Mayo. While it was honored in some local areas, it sadly faded away and it wasn't until 2009 when several businesses rallied behind a new day to mark the occasion, October 4. With the rise of internet culture, the popularity caught on and by 2013, National Taco Day cemented itself on the National Day Calendar to be celebrated on October 4.

Enter Taco Bell...

Why the Move? Why Now?Since the turn of the century, only four times has National Taco Day landed on a Tuesday. Year over year, social conversations continue to rise around the discrepancy. Both Taco Bell and National Day Calendar have taken notice and decided to take action. Prior to Taco Bell's efforts to free Taco Tuesday, a move like this would have had potential legal repercussions.

Taco Bell's Taco Tuesday HistoryThis isn't Taco Bell's first foray in taking bold actions in the name of Taco Tuesday lovers. The brand has a storied history dating back to early last year, when it filed legal petitions on May 16, 2023 to cancel the trademark registrations, liberating them for all to use. After six months of fighting the good fight, the phrase was officially liberated on October 24, 2023 in all 50 states.

"When we liberated Taco Tuesday last year, we did it for all who make, sell, eat and celebrate tacos; but we couldn't just stop there," said Taco Bell's Chief Marketing Officer, Taylor Montgomery. "With National Taco Day coming up, it felt unnatural for it to not fall on a Tuesday, and as some of the biggest advocates of Taco Tuesday out there, we knew we had to help shift the holiday permanently to give taco makers and lovers the opportunity to celebrate bigger and better every year."

Celebrate National Taco Day like Never Before To celebrate the momentous move of National Taco Day to its rightful home – Taco Tuesday – Taco Bell is planning a frenzy of Tuesday Drop celebrations kicking off on October 1 and continuing all month long. Fans are encouraged to mark the new date on their calendars, sign up for Taco Bell Rewards* and follow along on social channels to stay up to date on more celebration details being announced closer to the holiday.

*Taco Bell Rewards program is available at participating US locations and subject to terms and conditions: ta.co/terms.
