Mothers’ Milk Bank Announces Critical Need for Donor Milk

Mothers' Milk Bank

Mothers’ Milk Bank (MMB), the California-based nonprofit, is inviting lactating mothers to join its network of milk donors, aiming to expand its pool of contributors. This announcement comes on the heels of a new University of Iowa study on the health benefits of donated breast milk for extremely premature infants. The importance of donated breast milk has garnered international media attention in recent months after tennis champion Serena Williams shared her milk donation in a viral social media post. In response to the significant demand for human donor milk and the urgent need to support our communities' most vulnerable members, Mother’s Milk Bank is leading a comprehensive initiative to recruit new milk donors. This initiative includes "Milk Meet-Ups," providing opportunities for individuals to begin the month-long process of qualifying as milk donors. These Meet-Ups will kick off with an in-person Milk Drive on February 29 in Madera County at the Madera Department of Public Health, marking the start of an ambitious Milk Donor Drive aiming to enlist 5,000 new donors throughout 2024. Mothers’ Milk Bank Milk Meet-Up Schedule: Madera County (north of Fresno): Madera Department of Public Health Date: February 29, 2024 | Time: 10:30am - 12:30pm Location: 1604 Sunrise Ave, Madera, CA 93638 | Oz Conference Room Los Angeles County: Henry Mayo’s Lactation Department Date: March 28, 2024 | Time: TBD Location: 23861 McBean Pkwy Suite B-14 Valencia CA, 91355 VIRTUAL Milk Drive with Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Click to start the donor registration process beginning April 1, 2024 Santa Cruz County: Watsonville Community Hospital Date: May 2, 2024 | Time: 10:00am - 12:00pm Location: 75 Nielson St., Watsonville, CA 95076 | Conference Room 1 & 2 Sacramento County: McKinley Park Date: May 3, 2024 | Time: 10:00am - 1:00pm Location: 601 Alhambra Blvd, Sacramento, CA 95816 Placer County: Women’s & Children’s Center Date: May 4, 2024 | Time:10:00am - 1:00pm Location: 1600 Eureka Rd., Roseville, CA 95661 | Building B Premature infants, medically fragile babies, and those with special medical needs depend on donated breast milk for their survival. In 2023, over 2,000 generous donors contributed to Mothers’ Milk Bank, providing 1.64 million ounces of this life-saving mothers’ milk to babies in need across the United States. Recognizing the growing demand, Mothers’ Milk Bank anticipates an increased need in 2024. To meet this demand, the organization aims to recruit 5,000 lactating mothers from diverse backgrounds to become donors of this precious "liquid gold”. The process to become a donor typically takes a month, resulting in an ongoing need to recruit new donors to ensure a steady supply of donor milk. On average, most donors only send milk for less than one year or until their baby turns one, it is critical to consistently raise awareness of the importance of donating surplus mothers’ milk. “We are experiencing a pressing need for more milk donors, and it's vital for the welfare of the infants depending on our services that we expand our donor network without delay," states Jennifer Benito-Kowalski, chief executive officer of Mothers' Milk Bank. Mothers who are currently breastfeeding and have excess milk are encouraged to consider donating to help fill this crucial need. To start the process, visit the Mothers’ Milk Bank website to fill out an application. Those who are unable to donate breast milk can still help by sponsoring a cooler for $98 or by making a financial contribution. Why donate breast milk? The need for donated breast milk remains constant, especially for infants facing health complications. According to the National Institute of Health, more than 300,000 babies require advanced medical care in neonatal intensive care units across the United States every year. This need may arise when infants are born prematurely before their mother's milk has developed, when they face specific health challenges during infancy, or when they are adopted or born through surrogacy. Eligible milk donors include lactating mothers whose bodies produce more milk than their own baby needs, when they have lost their own child postpartum and need to help their body transition from lactation, or simply because they are altruistically driven to support infant health through equal access to breast milk. How does milk donation work? Mothers’ Milk Bank screens all potential breast milk donors through a comprehensive but easy, facilitated process per internationally recognized guidelines. All donated milk is pooled, pasteurized and tested before distribution to hospitals and families in need. There is no cost to becoming a milk donor – nor are donors compensated. Mothers’ Milk Bank provides donors with professional support and resources during the donation process and covers all screening and shipping costs. Lactating mothers interested in becoming a donor can learn more about the Milk Meetups and Spring Donor Drive at MothersMilk.org. To get started send an email to donate@MothersMilk.org, call 1-877-375-6645, Ext. 3 or apply online. *** To schedule an interview, contact Liza Batallones at 415-766-0846 or liza@landispr.com.

About Mothers’ Milk Bank Founded nearly 50 years ago, the Mothers’ Milk Bank is a leading nonprofit organization based in San Jose, California, that is dedicated to providing screened, donated human milk to all babies. The organization collects, pasteurizes, and distributes safe human milk to hospitals and families in need, ensuring that infants receive the essential nutrition required for optimal health and development.

Navigating the North: A Look at Nordic Gambling Casino Laws in 2024

AM Europe

The Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland - are known for their progressive approach to governance, and gambling laws are no exception. While each nation has its own unique framework, they share certain commonalities, making the region a fascinating case study for responsible gambling regulations. Let's delve into the current state of Nordic gambling laws in 2024: Similarities across the Nordics: State Monopoly Roots: Traditionally, all Nordic countries had state-run monopolies on gambling activities. While this is still largely true for land-based casinos and lotteries, online gambling has seen significant liberalization. Focus on Responsible Gambling: All Nordic countries prioritize responsible gambling practices. This includes measures like age verification, deposit limits, self-exclusion programs, and awareness campaigns. Licensing Systems: Each nation operates a licensing system for online gambling operators, ensuring compliance with regulations and responsible gambling standards. Taxation: Gambling activities are subject to taxation in all Nordic countries, generating revenue for the government. Individual Country Nuances: Denmark: Currently undergoing significant legislative changes, including a B2B licensing regime, expanded powers for the Danish Gambling Authority, and stricter measures against match-fixing. Finland: Maintains a state monopoly on most gambling activities, with limited exceptions for online operators. Norway: Has the strictest regulations, with only state-run Norsk Tipping offering legal gambling options. Sweden: Implemented a new Gambling Act in 2019, further details on utländskacasinomedbankid.net, opening up the online gambling market to licensed operators while emphasizing responsible gambling practices. Iceland: Offers state-run lotteries and sports betting, with limited online gambling options under strict regulations. Recent Developments: Sweden: In December 2023, a court ruled that a gambling operator must reimburse a customer's losses due to targeted marketing despite the customer's gambling addiction, highlighting the focus on responsible gambling enforcement. Denmark: Proposed changes include a new revenue-based fee structure for licenses and expanded data collection to combat money laundering and match-fixing. Looking Ahead: The Nordic gambling landscape is constantly evolving. With ongoing legislative changes and a focus on responsible gambling, these countries remain at the forefront of regulating this complex industry. As technology and consumer preferences continue to develop, it will be interesting to see how Nordic gambling laws adapt to ensure a safe and responsible environment for all stakeholders.

Fastest Growing North American-Based Sports Media Company, Basketball Forever, Signs First North American Gaming Partnership with Dabble

Basketball Forever

Basketball Forever, one of the fastest growing and most engaged independent sports content brands in the world, announced its first North American gaming partnership with fantasy operator Dabble to offer free-to-play games to North American audiences. Though more than 50% of its website traffic and user base comes from the United States, this will mark Basketball Forever’s debut into the North American market. Since launching in the U.S. at the start of 2024, Dabble has garnered over 500,000 unique downloads and amassed more than 10,000 players, proving to be one of the most appealing fantasy operators in the industry. The partnership kicked off during NBA All-Star weekend when Dabble offered Basketball Forever’s Hot Hands game during the 2024 All-Star Game. The opening day saw nearly 10,000 players participating, culminating in more than 70,000 total sessions over All-Star weekend. “Our launch with Dabble during All-Star weekend proved that we are definitely in the right place at the right time by expanding our business operation into North America,” said Alex Sumsky, CEO and co-founder of Basketball Forever. “Our success with Dabble will be an incredible case study of what we can offer to North American fantasy and real money operators—something we have a proven track record of in Australia. For instance, through our content portfolio in Australia, we were able to drive A$15 million of LTV to TAB whilst only spending A$500,000 on player acquisition. With a highly engaged audience and an extremely low cost per acquisition, we can offer American operators the same type of impact, as well as the eventual launch of our own owned and operated products and game suites” Basketball Forever will offer Hot Hands again on March 26 during a matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. To play the game, users are given randomly generated, personalized bingo cards filled with player prediction tiles. Tracking the progress of selected player performances in real-time, users chase winning combinations, creating an immersive and interactive experience that blends the thrill of live sports with the anticipation of winning. All a user needs to do is complete a line to win a prize and fill the board to claim the jackpot. Two additional games, V.O.A.T. and Streaker, are currently in development and will go live before the end of the 2024 NBA season. In V.O.A.T., players will answer a series of live questions across various in-game events, testing knowledge and strategic decision making. Incorrect guesses eliminate users until one is left standing. The winner scoops the prize offered for that game. In Streaker, users will participate in a pick-em style game built around digital trading cards with trading mechanics. Both games will be offered as free-to-play versions for now, with real-money versions offered in the immediate future. In open beta, the V.O.A.T. product boasted a 91% organic retention rate with the 30,000 strong user base averaging 35 unique sessions per week on the game. “With our V.O.A.T. game, we were able to acquire our entire beta population and watch it grow four times over without spending a dollar on marketing or user acquisition tactics,” said Basketball Forever Chief Strategy Officer Nick Kelland. “ Because we own and operate our games, the majority of Basketball Forever’s content can have V.O.A.T.-related calls to action integrated, which is a pure opportunity for free daily user acquisition. We are expecting V.O.A.T. to grow to 300,000 users by the end of 2024 with a CPA of essentially $0.00. This is a massive opportunity for brands and sponsors in the North American market to reach a large and motivated audience for an extremely low cost.” Founded in 2015, Basketball Forever is a digital media platform creating news and content on the global basketball market. For more than a decade, the company has built its brand organically from Australia, amassing a monthly global audience of more than 110 million unique visitors. Previously, all of its partners, sponsors and development efforts focused on the Australian market, even though the platform reaches 45 million unique visitors per month from the United States alone. With its first major push into the North American market, Basketball Forever will be making several strategic business announcements in the upcoming months. ABOUT BASKETBALL FOREVER Basketball Forever was founded in 2015 with a mission to celebrate the game and embrace its ability to unite people from all over the world. The brand reaches millions globally as the best source of breaking news, commentary, rumors, and culture through a uniquely social-first approach, bringing the best content to the consumer and removing the barriers between the creative and the consumer. The company is currently the top ranked global sports company amongst millennials by engagement, garnering 3.9 billion impressions yearly, with a monthly global reach of 105 million unique visitors.

Willy Woo Bitcoin (BTC) Price Forecast, Rising Interest in Ethereum (ETH) ETFs - KangaMoon (KANG) Price Surges

Kangamoon

Renowned analyst Willy Woo predicts a significant shift in Bitcoin's price dynamics, suggesting that the pioneer cryptocurrency may not dip below $30,000 again if a particular on-chain pattern persists. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) ETFs have emerged as a focal point of interest following the recent approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). More interestingly, KangaMoon (KANG) has made waves in the meme coin market with its innovative approach and emphasis on utility and innovation. Serving as the in-game currency for an upcoming play-to-earn (P2E) game, KangaMoon offers players a unique gaming experience coupled with social-fi elements. Willy Woo: Bitcoin (BTC) Won’t Drop Below $30,000 Again According to Willy Woo, if a specific on-chain pattern remains consistent, it's unlikely that Bitcoin (BTC) will drop below $30,000 again. Bitcoin’s chart illustrates dense horizontal bands representing price regions where a significant portion of the supply changed hands among investors, indicating strong agreed-upon values. Woo highlights three key factors associated with this Bitcoin pattern: strong bands of agreed-upon price, transitioning out of a bear market, and approaching the next halving event, marked by vertical bands on the chart. In instances where these conditions align, Bitcoin's price tends to avoid revisiting these established support levels, leading to an "up only” trend. Rising Interest in Ethereum ETFs: SEC Decision Awaited This year, there have been significant developments in the crypto market, indicating a growing interest among companies in establishing a spot Ethereum ETF. Following the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of Bitcoin spot ETFs, analysts are now looking towards Ethereum (ETH). Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart has suggested that a decision on Ethereum ETFs will be made on May 23. Major firms such as BlackRock, VanEck, Hashdex, and Grayscale are actively seeking approval from the SEC. Recently, Franklin Templeton also joined the race for an Ethereum ETF approval, reflecting increasing investor interest in the second-ranked asset. KangaMoon (KANG): Redefining MemeCoins KangaMoon (KANG) is causing a stir in the meme coin market with its unique approach. Unlike traditional memecoins, KangaMoon aims to stand out by emphasizing utility and innovation. Instead of being just meme coin, KangaMoon serves as the in-game currency for an upcoming KangaMoon play-to-earn (P2E) game. In this game, players can engage in battles, spectate matches, and even bet on outcomes, creating an exciting mix of gaming and social-fi elements. Moreover, KangaMoon holders enjoy exclusive benefits such as access to weekly, monthly, and quarterly challenges, which offer extra tokens and in-game items. These items can then be traded on the KangaMoon marketplace, adding another layer of utility to the token. Currently, KangaMoon is in Stage 2 of its presale, with a price of $0.0075 per token. However, anticipation is high for another significant surge in value once a Tier-1 centralized exchange lists KangaMoon in the second quarter of 2024. With experts predicting a potential 1,000% surge in value post-listing, there's no better time to get involved with KangaMoon. Investors can take advantage of the current 15% bonus available for a limited time and start earning KANG tokens by purchasing them and spreading the word on social media.

Ripple CEO Supports BlackRock XRP ETF & HBAR Soars; Is KangaMoon Next 100x Meme Coin?

Kangamoon

Ripple (XRP) CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently supported a possible XRP ETF from BlackRock. Meanwhile, KangaMoon (KANG) looks to shake up the meme coin market. Analysts have pegged this Stage 2 presale star as the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Simultaneously, Hedera (HBAR) continues its climb. Ripple CEO Backs BlackRock XRP ETF The CEO of Ripple (XRP), Brad Garlinghouse, is hyped on the idea of BlackRock bringing in an XRP ETF. During an interview with Bloomberg, he admitted it would be a no-brainer for the community. He also stated that if Bitcoin's spot ETF got approved by regulators, then why can't Ripple? This Ripple news may trigger a bullish rally for this crypto. The Ripple coin has surged from $0.53 to $0.54 in the past week alone. Its market cap jumped from $28B to $29B during that time. Additionally, Ripple is now trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Therefore, market analysts predict this altcoin will hit $0.80 within Q2 of 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): A Future Member of the Meme Coin Titans With features that make it stand out, KangaMoon (KANG) is an emerging force in the meme coin space. Not only is it an in-game currency and a governance token, but it's built for utility, too. This project's Play-to-Earn (P2E) and Social-Fi elements are innovative and scream "first place." By holding this innovative meme coin, you will obtain the ability to spectate battles and place bets. Furthermore, you could participate in unique challenges only available to KANG holders. These challenges are done weekly, monthly, and quarterly with extra tokens and in-game items as rewards. During its Stage 2 presale, each KANG costs only $0.0075. That's a 50% increase from its initial price. However, experts predict further growth as a Tier-1 CEX listing in Q2 of 2024 may pump this meme coin up. Some are even hinting at a 1,000% surge. In other words, KANG could replicate the success of other top meme coins such as Shiba Inu and Dogecoin. You need to become a KANG owner and spread the word on social media to earn KANG tokens. A 15% bonus for each purchase is in effect - so take advantage of this unique opportunity. Hedera (HBAR): Hits Peak TVL Meanwhile, Hedera (HBAR) has also been making headlines. Notably, crypto analyst House of Chimera revealed that Hedera has now hit a peak in TVL and a surge in trading volume. Over the past week alone, the Hedera price has jumped from $0.082 to $0.10. Its market cap also grew from $2.77B to $3.50B in that period. This altcoin has a positive sentiment because 28 technical indicators are green. Because of this, experts have made a bullish Hedera price prediction. They forecast a growth to $0.15 for HBAR within Q2 of 2024. What Gives KangaMoon an Advantage Over Ripple and Hedera? With a market cap of just $7.5M, KangaMoon is more agile than competitors like Ripple and Hedera. It would take less money to keep it growing quickly, allowing it to move faster. Because of this, countless investors are rushing to this meme coin presale. As close to $100,000 has been raised so far, the future of KangaMoon looks very bright.

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/LXqBkJ5imDA E-cigarette use remains a public health threat among youth and young adults with more than 2.1 million middle and high schoolers currently using e-cigarettes, according to the 2023 National Youth Tobacco Survey. Nearly one in four students surveyed use e-cigarettes vape every day or nearly daily, underscoring the highly addictive nature of nicotine, which is harmful to developing brains.

Grayscale's New ETF To Track Zcash, THORChain Price Dips, KangaMoon Soars

Kangamoon

Grayscale wants to introduce a new ETF to track privacy-based coins like Zcash. In other news, THORChain price has dropped, forcing investors to buy KangaMoon. KangaMoon has shown bullish momentum in the past week, skyrocketing 50%, making it the best coin to invest in. Grayscale Working on New ETF To Track Privacy-based Coins Like Zcash (ZEC) Grayscale Investments has told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its plan to launch a novel ETF, the Grayscale Privacy ETF (PRVC), focusing on the data privacy sector. This ETF will dedicate over 80% of its assets to companies specializing in data privacy solutions and blockchain-based privacy technologies, including protocols such as Zcash (ZEC). While PRVC will not hold cryptocurrencies directly, it will mirror the Indxx Data Privacy Index. Additionally, Grayscale plans to invest about 10% of its assets in privacy-centric protocols through ZCSH, Grayscale's Zcash Trust. Meanwhile, Zcash is one of the altcoins that has been banned by most centralized exchanges. Yet, the token has managed to maintain a bullish price movement in the past week. Its price has increased 20.7% to a peak of $29.26 from a 7-day low of $22.29. THORChain (RUNE) Price Drops 15.6% THORChain (RUNE), the native token of a decentralized exchange (DEX) that supports cross-chain swaps, has dropped into the red region. A look at its price chart shows that bears are leading the market on the weekly timeframe. They have pushed the price of THORChain down 15.6% from a peak of $5.88 to a low of $4.97. Nevertheless, THORChain RUNE joins other altcoins that are bullish on the monthly and yearly timeframes, with an increase of 23.1% and 191.7%, respectively. Therefore, the token still has a chance to clear the losses on the weekly chart. THORChain's technical indicators show that it is trading above the 50-day SMA ($4.60) and 200-day SMA ($3.47). As a result, analysts predict that THORChain will rise by 32.03% and reach $6.60 soon. KangaMoon (KANG) Stage 2 Selling Fast The crypto community's growing interest in meme coins with real utility has pushed investors towards KangaMoon (KANG). KangaMoon, a project still in its blockchain ICO, seeks to redefine meme coins by adding utility to them. It is building a community-centric space that merges Social-Fi elements with competitive gaming to reward participation and in-game achievements. KANG token holders stand to benefit significantly, with numerous opportunities to earn additional tokens through contests and competitions. These tokens not only serve as the platform's primary currency but also play a crucial role in its ecosystem, facilitating various transactions and activities. The blockchain ICO's stage 2 has already seen high interest, raising about $67,250, and its selling out rapidly where each token is priced at $0.0075. With the play-to-earn gaming market's value at $885M in 2023 and expected to grow, KangaMoon is poised for huge growth. Also, analysts are anticipating further price increases, making this the best time to get involved before it moves to the next stage. Conclusion While THORChain is grappling with bearish pressure in the market, KangaMoon has reached a new peak of $0.0075. Still, analysts see KangaMoon rising to higher heights in the coming weeks, making it the best coin to invest in right now. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!
