Largest hunger-relief investment in Foundation history includes $1.3 million for New Jersey as part of a $5 million regional initiative supporting nearly 150 organizations

HOLMDEL, N.J., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The FirstEnergy Foundation is making its largest investment in hunger relief to date, awarding $1.3 million to 25 New Jersey food banks and pantries during Hunger Action Month. The grants are part of a $5 million initiative supporting nearly 150 hunger-relief organizations across six states and the District of Columbia, helping stock local shelves and keeping meals on tables in households facing food insecurity.

The FirstEnergy Foundation is making its largest investment in hunger relief to date, awarding $1.3 million to 25 New Jersey food banks and pantries during Hunger Action Month.

The funding is expected to provide more than 3.8 million meals for families and neighbors across the Garden State, helping food banks and pantries meet growing demand in communities served by Jersey Central Power & Light (JCP&L). 

Funding Organizations on the Front Lines of Hunger Relief

National Hunger Action Month, observed each September, raises awareness of food insecurity and encourages volunteerism, advocacy and charitable giving to help address hunger in local communities. Despite ongoing efforts by food banks and nonprofit organizations, food insecurity remains a significant challenge across the country and in New Jersey.

Feeding America estimates that more than 1.2 million New Jerseyans, or 13% of the population, experienced food insecurity in 2024, including approximately one out of every six children. Across the state, food banks and pantries continue to play a critical role in helping families access nutritious meals as they navigate ongoing economic pressures.

Doug Mokoid, FirstEnergy's President of New Jersey: "No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from, especially in a state nicknamed the Garden State. People across New Jersey are feeling real pressure right now. Costs are going up, and food is one more thing stretching household budgets. Food banks and pantries are working every day to meet growing needs, but they can't do it alone. This investment will help provide more than 3.8 million meals for New Jersey families, seniors and children while strengthening the organizations on the front lines of hunger relief. We're proud to support their work and to stand beside them through volunteer service in the communities we call home."

Deborah Berry-Toon, Executive Director, Project Self-Sufficiency: "The FirstEnergy Foundation has provided invaluable support to Project Self-Sufficiency and the low-income families and individuals we serve. As the need grows, they have been right by our side. Together, we are making a transformational impact on hunger."

Supporting 25 Hunger-Relief Organizations Across New Jersey

Building on last year's initiative, the Foundation expanded its New Jersey support to 25 organizations in 2026, including three first-time recipients, and increased investments in several of the state's largest food banks, pantries and hunger-relief partners.

Largest hunger relief investment in Foundation history includes $1.2 million for Ohio as part of a $5 million regional initiative supporting 140 organizations

AKRON, Ohio, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The FirstEnergy Foundation is making its largest investment in hunger relief to date, awarding $1.2 million to 29 Ohio food banks and pantries during Hunger Action Month. The grants are part of a $5 million initiative supporting 140 hunger relief organizations across six states and the District of Columbia, helping stock local shelves and keep meals on tables in households facing food insecurity.

The funding is expected to provide more than 3.6 million meals for families and neighbors across Ohio, helping food banks and pantries meet growing demand in communities served by Ohio Edison, The Illuminating Company and Toledo Edison.

Funding Organizations on the Front Lines of Hunger Relief

National Hunger Action Month, observed each September, raises awareness of food insecurity and encourages volunteerism, advocacy and charitable giving to help address hunger in local communities. Despite ongoing efforts by food banks and nonprofit organizations, food insecurity remains a significant challenge across the country and in Ohio.

Feeding America estimates that more than 1.8 million Ohioans, or 15.3% of the population, experienced food insecurity in 2024, including approximately 535,000 children. Across the state, food banks and pantries continue to play a critical role in helping families access nutritious meals as they navigate ongoing economic pressures.

Torrence L. Hinton, President, FirstEnergy Ohio: "No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Across Ohio, food banks and pantries are working every day to meet growing needs, but they can't do it alone. This investment will help provide more than 3.6 million meals for families, seniors and children while strengthening the organizations on the front lines of hunger relief. We're proud to support their work and to stand beside them through volunteer service in the communities we call home."

77% of Fleet Drivers Say the Benefits of Safety Technology Outweigh Privacy Concerns, New Linxup Survey Finds

NEWS PROVIDED BY

Linxup

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

Nearly half of drivers say they or a coworker have benefited from dash cam evidence in an accident dispute, contrasting with fleet leaders' previous privacy and resistance concerns

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey of 267 commercial fleet professionals from Linxup, a GPS fleet tracking and safety technology company, found that 77% of drivers say the benefits of fleet safety tools outweigh privacy concerns, and that drivers value the protection it provides and the accidents it prevents. The findings also point to the broader role of safety culture, with employer safety practices influencing retention, customer trust and day-to-day confidence.

To learn more about Linxup's findings, visit linxup.com/blog/what-drivers-think-about-fleet-safety-technology.

When asked what would make the biggest difference in their day-to-day work, 29% of drivers ranked "protection if something goes wrong" as their top choice, followed by 27% who chose "fewer accidents." Nearly half (44%) of field service professionals say they or a coworker have been involved in an accident where dash cam footage or GPS tracking worked in their favor during an insurance claim or legal dispute. The finding reflects a broader shift in perception. As more drivers see the technology work in their favor, they're increasingly viewing it as a tool that protects them rather than one that monitors them.

"Safety technology is often viewed through the lens of reducing accidents, but drivers are telling us they value technology that can provide an objective record when something goes wrong," said Naeem Bari, founder and chief product officer at Linxup. "Fleet drivers want greater confidence every time they get behind the wheel; that isn't and shouldn't be an impossible ask. Our findings show that protection, accountability, and knowing your company has your back all matter to today's workforce, reinforcing that safety programs work best when technology is positioned as a tool that supports employees, not just company operations."

The research found the impact of fleet safety extends well beyond driver behavior. More than three-quarters (76%) of respondents said how their employer approaches safety influences their decision to stay with a company, while 61% said customers have mentioned their company's safety practices as a reason for doing business with them. Additionally, 42% reported their employer has become more serious about safety over the past year, highlighting safety's growing role in both employee retention and customer confidence.

The survey also found that organizations with formal safety programs see stronger engagement with safety initiatives. Respondents at companies with formal programs reported higher adoption of GPS tracking (80%) and dash cameras (68%) and were more likely to say safety makes them want to stay with their employer compared to those without a formal safety program (49% compared to 38%). Those with a formal safety program also reported more consistent driver feedback and proactive monitoring of accidents and near misses than those at organizations with informal or no safety programs.

Compared with Linxup's 2025 fleet safety research, this year's survey highlights greater alignment between managers and drivers on the value of fleet safety technology. While last year's survey found fleet leaders believed driver privacy concerns were a significant barrier to dash cam adoption, this year's driver survey found that 77% believe the benefits of fleet safety tools outweigh privacy or resistance concerns.

Additional key findings from the survey include:

Safety incentives matter. Eighty-two percent of respondents say tying pay or bonuses to safety scores would motivate them to improve their driving performance, with cash bonuses ranking as the top motivator.

Operational pressures remain a challenge. More than (73%) say real-world job demands make it hard to drive efficiently at least some of the time, including 44.6% who say it happens sometimes and 28.5% who say it happens often. Leadership shares the blame too. 22.5% say management sets safety rules but doesn't follow through, and another 22.5% say rules only change after an incident.

Drivers want communication, not just technology. More than 72% say their employer has explained how GPS tracking or dash cameras affect insurance coverage, reinforcing the importance of transparency around fleet safety tools.

Women were even more likely than men to view fleet safety technology positively. More than 91% of women agreed the benefits of fleet safety tools outweigh privacy or driver resistance concerns, compared to 75% of men. Women were also significantly more likely to say "protection if something goes wrong" would make the biggest difference in their day-to-day work (41% vs. 28%).

The Linxup fleet safety industry survey was conducted in June 2026 among 267 field service professionals across commercial fleets in HVAC, electrical, landscaping, plumbing and other field service industries.

Methodology

This survey was conducted by Centiment on behalf of Linxup in June 2026. It is based on a survey of 267 field service professionals who are part of a commercial fleet in the United States.

耶魯大學醫學院獲近 2,500 萬美元研究補助，推動人腦發育圖譜與自閉症研究 USA - Traditional Chinese

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

康乃狄克州紐哈芬2026年9月2日 /美通社/ -- 耶魯大學醫學院（Yale School of Medicine，YSM）獲 Aligning Research to Impact Autism（ARIA）計畫提供近 2,500 萬美元研究補助。這筆補助是 ARIA「人類發育神經生物學研究中心」計畫的一部分，將用於建立人類大腦發育的基礎圖譜與模型，並釐清自閉症相關的發育差異何時出現，以及如何偏離典型發育軌跡。

耶魯大學醫學院院長 Nancy J. Brown 醫學博士（Jean and David W. Wallace Dean）表示：「我們非常感謝 ARIA 對耶魯的支持。ARIA 的慈善挹注正為自閉症研究開啟新紀元，我們期望藉此了解自閉症在大腦發育過程中最早如何形成。這筆補助的影響將不僅止於耶魯大學醫學院。研究所累積的知識將有助於更早發現自閉症、建立更明確的生物標記，並為自閉症者及其家庭提供更精準的介入措施。」

這項研究計畫由耶魯大學醫學院 Harvey and Kate Cushing 神經科學講座教授，並兼任比較醫學、遺傳學及精神醫學教授的 Nenad Sestan 醫學博士、哲學博士，與哈佛大學 Golub Family 幹細胞與再生生物學講座教授 Paola Arlotta 博士共同主持。研究團隊將從大腦早期發育這一科學問題的源頭切入，建立偵測、解讀及因應發育差異所需的基礎模型。

Sestan 表示：「我和同事們由衷感謝 ARIA 提供這項極具前瞻性的支持。這筆補助讓我們得以進一步探索人類大腦神經迴路的發育過程。透過匯集不同領域及研究機構的專家，我們希望更深入了解大腦發育如何展開，以及自閉症如何形成。最終，我們期望這項研究能加速科學發現、改善早期偵測，並為更有效的介入策略提供依據。」

自閉症是一種神經發展狀況，會影響溝通、社交互動及行為，也經常伴隨學習、注意力、感覺處理、睡眠或動作技能方面的差異。根據美國疾病管制暨預防中心（CDC）的資料，美國每 31 名兒童中就有 1 名被診斷為自閉症。世界衛生組織（WHO）則估計，全球每 100 名兒童中約有 1 名患有自閉症。

大腦早期發育研究的科學「登月計畫」

儘管神經科學在過去數十年間取得長足進展，研究人員至今仍缺乏一幅能呈現人類大腦發育過程的高解析度動態圖譜。Sestan 表示：「我們已有非常詳盡的地球地圖，但對大腦、尤其是發育中大腦的了解，仍缺少一幅完整圖譜。」

由於大腦成熟歷時近 20 年，加上可供研究的發育中人腦組織相當有限，科學家很難直接研究大腦最早期的發育階段。與此同時，自閉症相關差異最初出現的時期，也正是大腦變化最迅速的階段。許多神經元及大多數突觸迴路會在生命最初幾年形成，因此不能直接將成人大腦模型縮小，用來理解嬰兒或幼兒的大腦。

缺乏精準的發育參照，也使科學家難以準確釐清相關機制、辨識生命早期的發育偏離，或設計符合特定個體在特定發展階段生物特性的介入措施。承接耶魯在 ARIA 支持下持續擴展的研究，這筆補助將促成一套跨領域協作模式，整合實驗、影像分析、運算研究及臨床合作，以建立所需的發育參照，並將其轉化為新的科學發現。

ARIA 對 YSM 的資助將支持兩項旨在產出實用工具與研究資源的計畫，包括：

繪製發育中大腦神經連結的高解析度圖譜

建立細胞與分子模型，呈現自閉症發展軌跡與典型發展產生分歧之處

這兩項計畫也是耶魯與哈佛大學四項合作研究的一部分，其他兩項包括：

建立患者來源的腦類器官，以連結遺傳、發育及臨床特徵

運用生成式人工智慧預測介入策略，並篩選優先治療標靶

耶魯大學醫學院簡介

耶魯大學醫學院 (Yale School of Medicine) 為醫學和科學領域培育出領導者，培養好奇心和批判性的探索精神。耶魯大學醫學院是生物醫學研究、臨床照護與醫學教育的全球領導者。耶魯大學醫學院擁有超過 1,700 名醫生，為世界各地的患者提供富有同理心的醫療照護。耶魯醫學教育系統強調批判性思維和獨立研究，培育學術醫學領域的領導者。

"Die Demokratien Europas haben bei ihrer Reaktion auf die Attacken einen entscheidenden "Nachteil": Anders als für das Putin-Regime hat das Völkerrecht für uns eine Bedeutung. Wir können nicht einfach blindlings zurückschlagen, sondern müssen bei jeder Maßnahme abwägen, welche unbeabsichtigten Folgen sie haben könnte. Umso wichtiger ist es aber, dass der Rahmen des Möglichen jetzt ausgeschöpft und dem Kreml sowie seinen skrupellosen Geheimdiensten unmissverständlich klargemacht wird: Wir lassen uns nicht einschüchtern.

- Las listas de deseos ahora son listas de espera: las probabilidades de entrar en los eventos más populares del mundo

El índice de acceso inaugural de Jade Peak analizó decenas de eventos y expediciones al aire libre tras crear un registro de más de 300 actividades en 90 países.

MADRID, 1 de septiembre de 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Para muchos de los eventos más solicitados del mundo, es posible que ahora tengas que esperar años para asistir debido a la cantidad de solicitantes. El Maratón de Nueva York aceptó solo al 1 % de sus 240.000 solicitantes de la lotería pública este año. Al ritmo actual, conseguir una reserva para hacer rafting en el Gran Cañón podría tardar hasta 18 años.

Jade Peak, una empresa editorial y organizadora de expediciones de viajes, publicó hoy la primera edición de su Índice de Acceso, "Las listas de deseos ahora son listas de espera". El informe creó un registro de más de 300 actividades al aire libre en 90 países y luego analizó docenas de viajes utilizando factores como el coste, el estándar de calificación y el tiempo para agotar las plazas.

La probabilidad de que alguien entre a través del sistema de lotería pública está disminuyendo, mientras que las tarifas apenas han variado.

"Para los residentes de EE.UU., nueve de cada diez parques nacionales estadounidenses cobran la misma tarifa de entrada que en 2020", dijo Marina Herraiz, cofundadora de Jade Peak. "En términos reales, esto representa una reducción de precio frente a la inflación".

Para los viajeros, el consejo de Herraiz es priorizar los eventos que les dan prioridad. "Algunos organizadores tienen rutas especiales para quienes solicitan plaza repetidamente, donde las entradas se duplican cada año consecutivo".

Junto con el informe, Jade Peak publicó las Directrices para Organizadores de Eventos. "Es un documento en constante actualización que esperamos mantener con los organizadores de eventos", declaró Ian Zhang, cofundador de Jade Peak. "Nuestro objetivo es definir estándares justos y equitativos para los años venideros".

HelloNation Article Examines Roof Damage After a Storm With Insights From Roofing Expert Greg English

NEWS PROVIDED BY

HelloNation

Sep 01, 2026, 14:30 ET

SHARE THIS ARTICLE

The article explains how to identify common warning signs early and why timely inspection matters after severe weather.

BATON ROUGE, La., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What are the most common signs you need roof repair after a storm? HelloNation has published an article that provides clear answers, featuring insights from Roofing Expert Greg English of Red Stick Roofing in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Greg English, Owner

The HelloNation article explains that roof damage after a storm is not always easy to spot from the ground, yet it can lead to serious problems if left unchecked. Wind, rain, and debris can weaken roofing materials, making early detection critical. In areas prone to Baton Rouge roof damage, recognizing warning signs quickly can help prevent long-term structural issues and costly repairs.

One of the most common indicators discussed is missing shingles. High winds often cause shingles to be missing or cracked, curled, or loose. The article notes that missing shingles expose the underlying roof to moisture, increasing the risk of leaks. Even when shingles appear intact, subtle lifting can still signal roof damage after a storm that requires attention.

The article also highlights how discoloration can point to problems. Dark patches or uneven coloring may indicate trapped moisture or worn protective granules. Over time, heavy rain can cause roof damage and weaken the roof's surface. Inside the home, water stains on ceilings are often among the first visible signs that damage has progressed beyond the exterior.

Another key issue covered is debris buildup in roof conditions. After storms, debris buildup in roof areas such as valleys and gutters can trap water and block proper drainage. The article explains that debris buildup on the roof can quietly lead to moisture intrusion, especially when combined with heavy rain and roof damage. Clearing debris is an important step in maintaining roof health after severe weather.

The HelloNation article further describes how water intrusion may develop gradually. Signs such as damp insulation, musty odors, or faint dripping sounds can indicate hidden leaks. These issues are often linked to worn flashing or aging sealants that fail during heavy rain or roof damage events. In the article, Roofing Expert Greg English emphasizes that these subtle signs should not be overlooked.

In regions like Baton Rouge, strong storms can cause roof damage without obvious external evidence. The article notes that uneven rooflines or slightly lifted shingles may indicate underlying structural issues. This makes a roof inspection after storm events especially important, even when damage is not immediately visible.

The article stresses that a roof inspection after storm conditions can identify both visible and hidden issues. While homeowners can perform a basic visual check, a professional roof inspection after storm damage is more likely to uncover deeper concerns, such as compromised underlayment. Early detection of roof damage after a storm helps reduce the risk of more extensive repairs later.

In addition, the article explains that combining regular maintenance with timely inspections helps homeowners stay ahead of the risks of Baton Rouge roof damage. By watching for missing shingles, clearing debris buildup in roof areas, and monitoring for water stains on ceiling surfaces, homeowners can take practical steps to protect their property.

The article concludes that understanding the signs of roof damage after a storm allows homeowners to act quickly and confidently. With proper awareness and a proactive approach, it becomes easier to manage roof damage from heavy rain and maintain the home's long-term integrity.

The article explains how flexible pumping solutions help parents balance breastfeeding with changing daily routines.

EMMAUS, Pa., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- What is the best breast pump for a busy schedule? A HelloNation article features insights from Breast Pump Expert Patty Gatter of The Breastfeeding Shop in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, explaining how choosing a breast pump that fits changing routines can make breastfeeding easier to manage.

The article explains that becoming a parent often means adjusting to schedules that change from one day to the next. Meetings may run late, errands take longer than expected, and childcare responsibilities can interrupt carefully planned routines. Choosing a breast pump that supports flexibility instead of adding extra demands can help parents continue breastfeeding while balancing work, family responsibilities, and everyday life.

According to the article, a flexible breast pump is designed to fit into a variety of routines rather than requiring parents to stop everything for each pumping session. Whether pumping while working from home, during breaks at the office, or between appointments, equipment that adapts to changing schedules helps reduce stress and supports a more consistent breastfeeding routine.

The article also highlights the convenience of a wearable breast pump. Unlike traditional systems that often require parents to remain seated near an outlet, wearable options fit inside a nursing bra and provide greater freedom of movement. Parents may be able to answer emails, complete household tasks, prepare simple meals, or care for their baby while pumping, making it easier to use available time efficiently.

Portability is another important feature discussed in the article. A portable breast pump can be especially helpful for parents who commute, travel regularly, or spend much of the day away from home. Lightweight designs that fit easily into a diaper bag, work bag, or backpack make it easier to stay consistent with pumping regardless of where the day leads.

The article emphasizes that comfort should remain a priority when selecting a breast pump. Adjustable suction settings, proper flange sizing, and an easy-to-use design all contribute to a better pumping experience. Comfortable equipment often encourages more consistent pumping, which may better support ongoing breastfeeding goals.

Battery life and noise level are also important considerations covered in the article. Rechargeable batteries that last through multiple pumping sessions reduce the need for frequent charging, while quieter operation can provide additional privacy in workplaces and other shared environments. These practical features often become more valuable as parents settle into their daily routines.

Cleaning and maintenance are equally important. The article explains that wearable breast pumps and portable breast pumps with fewer individual parts may reduce the time spent washing and reassembling equipment after each use. Those small conveniences can make pumping feel more manageable for parents with demanding schedules.

The article also encourages parents to think about their long-term needs instead of focusing only on the first weeks after birth. Family routines often change as babies grow, work responsibilities evolve, and childcare arrangements develop. Choosing a breast pump that continues meeting those changing needs can provide lasting value throughout the breastfeeding journey.

The article concludes that there is no single breast pump that is right for every parent. Some families prioritize portability, while others place greater importance on comfort, quiet operation, or wearable convenience. Carefully considering personal routines, pumping frequency, and daily responsibilities helps narrow the available options and makes choosing a breast pump feel less overwhelming.

SUN PRAIRIE, Wis., Sept. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Independent Pharmacy Cooperative (IPC) today announced its acquisition of USave Pharmacy Group, effective September 1, 2026. The acquisition brings together two organizations with a shared commitment to preserving and strengthening independent community pharmacy.

Independent Pharmacy Cooperative Acquires USave Pharmacy Group

For more than 40 years, USave Pharmacy Group has brought independent pharmacy owners together through purchasing opportunities, peer collaboration, dedicated representation and a shared commitment to helping locally owned pharmacies succeed. The acquisition allows IPC to build upon that legacy while maintaining the identity, relationships and sense of community that have defined USave.

"USave was built around pharmacy owners supporting pharmacy owners," said Bill Hamik of USave Pharmacy Group. "Our stores value the relationships, responsiveness and shared identity that come with being part of this group. IPC understands that history and recognizes that USave's identity is something to preserve, not replace. This next chapter will allow our pharmacies to retain what they value about USave while gaining access to additional resources and opportunities for the future."

IPC and USave have worked together for several years. IPC announced an agreement with the Nebraska-based pharmacy group in 2017, establishing a relationship focused on connecting USave pharmacies with IPC resources and purchasing opportunities.

"IPC's purpose has always been to help independent pharmacies remain strong, locally owned and positioned for the future," said Marc Essensa, President and CEO of IPC. "USave shares that purpose. This acquisition is about preserving a respected organization, building on the trust it has earned and bringing additional strength and resources to its pharmacies. We believe USave's history, identity and relationships will remain an important part of its future."

The entire IPC team from Member Service to our Distribution team, from Member Performance to our Government Relations, will continue to support the USave Pharmacy Group as we have since 2017. Kate Helf, IPC Vice President of Pharmacy Innovation, having worked closely with the USave Pharmacy Group for the past 10 years, will be the liaison ensuring continuity throughout the transition.

IPC provides its members with access to purchasing opportunities, pharmacy services, operational support, advocacy, business development resources and innovative solutions designed to help independent pharmacy owners remain competitive and continue serving their communities.
