TFCU Joins 21 Organizations In Catalina High School Mock Interview Program

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 13:07 EST

Tucson Federal Credit Union (TFCU) team members joined business professionals from 21 organizations across Tucson on Wednesday, January 21, to conduct mock interviews with students from Catalina High Magnet School (CHS) and Tucson High Magnet School (THMS) Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) chapters, reinforcing the credit union's strategic commitment to workforce development and community investment. TFCU Community Impact Manager Robyn Austin along with In-Branch Trainers Andrea Morales Luna and Damien Sims served as professional interviewers during the three-hour program in the CHS Library. "At TFCU, we believe our high school students are the spark for Tucson's future," said TFCU President & CEO Matthew Gaspari. "Participating in this program ignites their confidence and opens doors to possibility. We are proud that TFCU team members are investing their time and expertise in helping future leaders." The highly structured event provided students with multiple real-world interview experiences and immediate feedback, which are critical competencies for successful transition from education to employment. The program opened with an introduction by CHS Business teacher and FBLA moderator Karl Oxnam, followed by introductions from the FBLA student board members, which included a presentation of its annual report highlighting 32 leadership activities and progress toward national recognition. Activities kicked off with an icebreaker that encouraged students to introduce themselves to as many professionals as possible within one minute. Students competed to collect a four-card suit from a 24-karat gold foil playing card set designed to resemble Benjamin Franklin $100 bills by completing all three checkpoints-an incentive that channeled student motivation into professional networking practice. The activity set a dynamic tone for the day's professional development focus. Today's event included an invitation to THMS's FBLA team with Career and Technical Education (CTE) business management teacher Pam Dominguez coordinating to maximize student participation. Next week, CHS FBLA students will be back in competition-mode at a regional event. Representatives from twenty-one participating organizations-including AZPM, Frontier Towing, the Pima County Superintendent's Office and Merril Lynch-retirees and volunteers from Junior Achievement used standardized scoresheets and a set of standard interview questions to evaluate students. Afterwards, students had 1-minute to ask any questions, restate why they think they are the best candidate, and thank the interviewer for their time. Interviewers had 1-minute for notes and then delivered constructive feedback on professionalism, interview skills, and the overall presentation. A 1986 Catalina High School graduate, Oxnam returned to his original classroom in 2024 after 13 years in TUSD's central office. Under his leadership, he has developed one of Arizona's premier CTE programs where students achieve 100% Microsoft Office certification and consistently earn the highest scores statewide on the two-year final assessment. "The caliber of these students is exceptional," Oxnam noted. "Some are skilled enough to earn scholarships and immediate employment opportunities with participating companies." TFCU's participation aligns with the credit union's strategic focus on education and economic opportunity within the communities it serves. The organization regularly engages in initiatives that support youth development, career readiness, and economic mobility.

CORE Saves & Heals More Lives Through Donation and Innovation in 2025

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 12:46 EST

The Center for Organ Recovery & Education (CORE) has increased the number of lives saved and healed through organ, tissue, and cornea for the seventh consecutive year. In 2025, the selfless contributions of 484 organ donors from CORE's service area-spanning western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Chemung County, New York-resulted in 1,191 organs donated for life-saving transplants, representing a 23% increase in organs transplanted from the previous year. This milestone reflects CORE's leadership among the nation's more than 50 organ procurement organizations (OPOs) and was supported by continued investment in innovative technologies, including advanced organ perfusion systems such as OrganOx, to increase organ utilization and expand access to life-saving transplants. Among those donors was Liam Lee Cash , 4, of Mount Lookout, WV, who was able to give the gift of life as a donor after his passing in April 2025. According to his mother, Ali Cash, her son's donation has brought comfort and meaning to her and her family. "In the middle of that heartbreak, I was given a choice, to let Liam's story end there, or to let his life ripple outward. I knew my answer. Yes-to organ donation. That choice didn't erase the pain, but it gave meaning. It meant Liam's heart could still beat in this world. It meant my little boy's life would continue in someone else's story-and it has." Susan Stuart , President/CEO of CORE, expressed her gratitude, saying, "Increasing the number of lives saved and healed through organ, tissue, and cornea for the seventh consecutive year is a testament to the generosity of our donors and their families, the commitment of our partner hospitals and transplant centers, and the passion and innovation of the CORE team. Together, we're giving second chances and changing lives." Sierra Smith , 28, of Uniontown, Pa., is a two-time liver transplant recipient, first receiving a life-saving transplant in 2020 and again in 2025. Grateful for the care she received and the generosity that made her transplants possible, Sierra credits organ donors and donor families for giving her the chance to keep moving forward. "It's hard to put into words what it means to be given not just one, but two second chances at life," Smith says. "Every donor represents hope for someone like me, and I'm incredibly thankful for the families who chose to give during their most difficult moments. Because of them, I'm here-and I'm looking ahead to the future with gratitude." CORE's life-saving efforts in 2025 made possible: - 573 donated kidneys - 313 donated livers - 134 donated hearts - 139 donated lungs - 28 donated pancreata - 4 donated intestines However, the need remains urgent, with more than 100,000 people nationwide awaiting transplants. Stuart urged everyone to consider making a difference and discuss the topic of donation with their families: "One donor can save up to eight lives and heal 75 others. Signing up to be an organ, tissue, and cornea donor is a simple step that can change the world for someone else. Visit core.org/register to confirm that decision." Mark Wallace , 42, of New Castle, Pa., is one of more than 100,000 Americans currently waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. He has been on the kidney transplant waitlist for more than three years. Wallace says knowing that organ donation continues to grow each year gives him hope. "There are so many people in need. Every year has to be a record-breaking year-because every donor means another family gets more time, more memories, more life." Wallace often thinks about the person who will one day make that selfless decision, and the family who will stand behind it. "One day, I hope I can look my donor's family in the eye and tell them that because of the incredible gift their loved one gave, I didn't just survive," he says. "I lived. I built something meaningful. I helped people. I made their gift count." In addition to organ donations, CORE reported 985 cornea donors , an 9% increase over 2024, and 1,885 tissue donors , reflecting a 14% rise. These gifts restored sight to 990 people and provided healing through tissue transplants-including bone repairs, skin grafts, and heart valve replacements-for more than 140,000 others . Specifically, in western Pennsylvania, in 2025, 363 generous people were organ donors after their deaths, donating 918 organs for life-saving transplants, 1,373 were tissue donors, each of them healing as many as 75 others through tissue transplants, and 833 cornea donors from western Pennsylvania. In CORE's West Virginia territory, which spans nearly the entire state apart from six counties, an incredible 121 individuals became organ donors after their passing. Through their generosity, 273 organs were transplanted, giving others the gift of life. Furthermore, 512 tissue donors brought healing to over 38,000 people, while 152 cornea donors gave the precious gift of sight. Throughout 2025, CORE continued to advance its mission through strategic investment in innovation, including enhanced recovery practices, preservation methods, and emerging technologies. These efforts support donor families, partner hospitals, and transplant centers by improving organ utilization, reducing barriers to transplantation, and helping ensure more donated organs can be used for life-saving transplants. By combining innovation with compassion and clinical excellence, CORE is strengthening outcomes today while helping shape the future of organ recovery and transplantation. "It goes without saying that everyone at CORE is driven not by a desire to break records, but by a dedication to generous donors, their brave families, hopeful waiting list candidates, and thankful transplant recipients," Stuart said. "This is an incredible achievement for them as much as it is for us."

Salt Security Expands "Universal Visibility" with API Security for Databricks and Edge Support for Netlify

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 12:20 EST

New capabilities extend Salt's discovery engine into the Agentic AI Action Layer and modern composable web architectures, providing the only dedicated API security visibility for Databricks agentic workloads. Salt Security , the leader in API security and AI governance, today announced a major expansion of its platform's connectivity fabric with two new strategic integrations: the Salt Databricks Connector and the Salt Netlify Collector . These additions reinforce Salt's "Universal Visibility" strategy, ensuring that security teams can capture deep API context from every corner of the enterprise, whether it's a legacy on-premise server, a modern edge deployment, or the rapidly evolving Agentic AI Action Layer . Securing the Agentic AI Action Layer at the Source. As enterprises rush to build Agentic AI, platforms like Databricks have become the operating system for AI workloads. While generalist security tools (CNAPPs) can scan Databricks infrastructure for misconfigurations, they remain blind to the actual behaviour of the AI agents running inside. The new Salt Databricks Connector bridges this gap, providing a dedicated API security discovery engine for Databricks environments. It specifically targets the "Agentic Action Layer," identifying the Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers and AI agents that connect proprietary data models to the outside world. Ease of Use: Connects in minutes without complex instrumentation or manual configuration. Action-Layer Visibility: Instantly maps which APIs and data sources internal AI agents are accessing-visibility that infrastructure scanners miss. Unified Governance: Allows teams to apply the same rigorous security policies to their AI workloads as they do to their traditional APIs. "Databricks is where the enterprise brain lives, but until now, we have not been able to see what the hands, the AI agents, are actually touching," said Eric Schwake, Cybersecurity Director at Salt Security. "Generalist tools can tell you if your S3 bucket is open, but only Salt can tell you if an AI agent inside Databricks is actively leaking PII through an unmonitored API. We are turning the lights on in the agentic action layer." Rapid Support for the Modern Edge. Alongside AI visibility, Salt is addressing the fragmentation of modern web architectures. The new Salt Netlify Collector brings feature-parity traffic collection to decoupled frontend applications and Jamstack architectures. Built to support major enterprise deployments, this collector demonstrates Salt's agility and ability to rapidly build and deploy collectors as the market evolves. As organisations decouple their frontends and push logic to the edge, standard gateways are often bypassed. Salt ensures security travels with the code. Universal Reach: Extends Salt's best-in-class traffic analysis to Netlify's edge network. Rapid Adaptation: Showcases Salt's flexible architecture, allowing the platform to support modern Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and edge runtimes as fast as developers adopt them. Availability: The Salt Databricks Connector and Netlify Collector are available immediately as part of the Salt Illuminate™ platform. About Salt Security: Salt Security secures the APIs that power today's digital businesses. Salt delivers the fastest API discovery in the industry-surfacing shadow, zombie, and unknown APIs before attackers find them. The company's posture governance engine and centralised Policy Hub automate security checks and enforce safe API development at scale. With built-in rules and customisable policies, Salt makes it easy to stay ahead of compliance and reduce API risk. Salt also uses machine learning and AI to detect threats early, giving companies a critical advantage against today's sophisticated API attacks. The world's leading organisations trust Salt to find API gaps fast, shut down risks, and keep their businesses moving.

Forklift-free Zones and The Role of Pallet Trucks in Safer Warehouses

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 04:08 EST

A growing number of operators across the UK are quietly redesigning how space is used, with forklift-free zones becoming more common in areas where safety and footfall are a concern. Forklifts remain essential for heavy lifting and high racking, but they also introduce risks in tight spaces where pedestrians, temporary staff and mixed workflows are common. In response, some warehouses are redesigning layouts to limit forklift movement near packing benches, mezzanine floors and goods-in areas, relying instead on pallet trucks to keep stock moving at ground level. According to Pallet Trucks UK, a leading importer of pallet trucks to stackers and lift tables , this approach is gaining traction as operations become busier and more complex. High order volumes, year-round returns and rapid turnaround times mean more people on the warehouse floor at any given moment. Reducing forklift traffic in these environments can help lower the risk of collisions, near-misses and costly downtime, while also making workflows easier to manage. Pallet trucks play a key role in making forklift-free zones workable. Compact, manoeuvrable and easy to use, they allow staff to move pallets safely through narrow aisles and shared spaces without the visibility and noise issues associated with powered trucks. When well maintained, pallet trucks can support smoother pallet flow and reduce strain on operators, even during peak periods. Phil Chesworth, Managing Director at Pallet Trucks UK, said, "We're seeing more warehouses take a hard look at where forklifts add value and where they simply add risk. In busy, people-heavy areas, pallet trucks often make far more sense. They give teams control, visibility and flexibility without compromising safety." He added, "Forklift-free zones aren't about removing equipment for the sake of it. It's a matter of designing smarter layouts that match how modern warehouses work. Reliable pallet trucks are a big part of that, especially in spaces where forklifts would be overkill or a hazard." The move towards forklift-free zones is part of a sector-wide response to several challenges, including skills shortages and the need to onboard temporary or seasonal workers quickly. The most effective warehouse designs use a mix of handling solutions, deployed in the right places. By clearly defining forklift-free zones and equipping them with robust pallet trucks, operators can create safer working environments without sacrificing efficiency across the UK logistics sector.

Swansea Engineer Launches Ulex Energy to Deliver Bespoke Solar Solutions Across South Wales

Thu, Jan 22, 2026 03:59 EST

A Swansea-based chartered engineer has launched a new renewable energy business to address a growing gap in the local solar market. Ulex Energy, founded by Ian Mach, brings together engineering expertise, bespoke system design and hands-on installation to help homeowners and businesses across South Wales make informed decisions about solar and battery storage. Mach is already well known as the founder of Charge Gully, an innovative product which provides home electric vehicle charging for houses without a driveway, which was acquired by a company backed by Deborah Meaden. With Ulex Energy, he is now turning his focus to solar solutions, drawing on more than a decade of engineering experience and first-hand insight into the challenges facing homes and businesses investing in renewable technologies. Ulex Energy has been created in response to what Mach describes as an over-reliance on packaged, one-size-fits-all solar solutions. While these systems may suit some properties, many properties fail to achieve their full generation potential without careful design and technical consideration. "Solar is a significant investment, and it deserves more than a standard approach," said Ian Mach, Founder of Ulex Energy. "Every roof, property and usage pattern is different. By taking the time to understand each property, we can design systems that make better use of available space, improve performance and shorten the payback period. It often surprises people how much difference fitting just a couple of additional panels can make." Ulex Energy carries out all installations using its own team, ensuring systems are properly integrated with existing electrics and built to a high engineering standard. All work is backed by a comprehensive 10-year insurance-backed workmanship guarantee. Ulex Energy is also fully independent, allowing it to select equipment based on performance and suitability rather than manufacturer ties - including the latest technologies such as high-wattage panels and advanced battery storage. Beyond installation, the company aims to provide ongoing support, helping customers adapt as energy prices and technologies evolve. This includes long-term aftercare and regular advice on energy tariffs to ensure systems continue to deliver value. Mach's background includes work with a major engineering consultancy and a large solar installation company, where he gained exposure to a wide range of renewable systems and emerging technologies. He is also regularly invited to share technical expertise at industry events. "With Ulex Energy, we want to be a trusted local partner," Mach added. "From the first conversation through installation and years of aftercare, our goal is to ensure that each system of our customers has been designed properly, installed correctly and will perform as expected."

RMT Rejects Inadequate 4.5% Pay Offer for RFA Seafarers

Wed, Jan 21, 2026 11:21 EST

Maritime union, RMT has rejected a 4.5% pay offer for seafarers employed by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA), describing it as wholly inadequate and failing to address years of below-inflation offers, minimum wage concerns and a growing retention crisis across the service. RMT says successive pay deals below RPI have significantly eroded earnings, with RFA management unable to demonstrate that pay rates comply with the legal minimum wage once the actual hours worked by seafarers are taken into account. Seafarers can routinely work up to 12 hours a day and there remains no clear or transparent formula setting out how pay is calculated against those hours. During previous industrial action, some of the lowest-paid RFA workers faced deductions of £87 for a single day, showing how little RFA management believed they were being paid. RMT General Secretary Eddie Dempsey said: "This pay offer falls short of our members expectations based on their years of dedication and service. "Years of real terms falling behind in pay have left RFA seafarers worse off, and management still cannot show if all of our members are even being paid at least the minimum wage for the hours they are required to work. "The absence of a transparent system for calculating pay, combined with excessive working hours, has created an unsustainable situation. "Skilled and experienced seafarers doing incredibly important and often dangerous work around the globe are leaving the service because they cannot afford to stay, creating serious retention problems that threaten RFA's effectiveness. "Our members deserve a pay deal that reflects the work they do, deals with the issue around complying with legal minimum standards, and addresses the recruitment and retention crisis now facing the service." The RFA strike ballot closes on 17 February. END

Beat the Winter Blues with This Ancient Food Supplement

Wed, Jan 21, 2026 08:45 EST

By the time winter reaches its deepest point, many people feel noticeably different from how they did in autumn. Motivation dips, concentration feels harder to hold and even small tasks can feel more draining than usual. The post-festive period is often marked by low energy, disrupted routines and a lingering sense of fatigue that is difficult to shake. While this seasonal slowdown is common, it is not purely psychological. Reduced daylight can influence mood-regulating hormones, while colder temperatures often lead to less movement and poorer sleep quality. At the same time diets tend to shift, with fewer fresh foods and less nutritional variety. Together, these changes can leave the body short of key vitamins and minerals needed to maintain balance. But a solution is at hand: rather than relying on stimulants or short-term fixes, many people are turning towards food-based supplements that work gradually and consistently. Irish Sea Moss, a nutrient-rich sea vegetable traditionally used in coastal communities, is being rediscovered as a way to support wellbeing during winter. The Moss Way's Irish Sea Moss has been independently lab tested and shown to contain a broad range of minerals and vitamins that play a role in energy, immunity and mental wellbeing. Magnesium, for example, contributes to reduced tiredness and fatigue and supports normal psychological function. Potassium helps maintain normal nervous system activity, while iron contributes to oxygen transport in the body and supports energy production. These nutrients are particularly relevant during winter, when fatigue and sluggishness are common complaints. Irish Sea Moss also contains iodine, which supports normal thyroid function. The thyroid plays a central role in regulating metabolism, body temperature and energy levels, all of which can feel out of balance during the colder months. Alongside this, antioxidant compounds found naturally in Sea Moss help protect cells from oxidative stress, supporting overall resilience. Harry Morgan, founder of The Moss Way, said, "Winter asks more of the body, even if we don't always notice it straight away. Ancient foods like Irish Sea Moss are finding renewed relevance against modern challenges. Sea Moss offers steady nutritional support at a time when energy, immunity and mood all need extra care. It can be taken daily as a gel, added to warm drinks or blended into meals, making it easy to integrate into existing routines without disruption." For more information, visit www.themossway.co.uk .

The Doors - A Unique Archive

Wed, Jan 21, 2026 07:17 EST

A unique archive of letters, invoices and even a signed copy of The Doors album Morrison Hotel have been unveiled for the first time as they come to auction at Ewbank's on February 26. They all relate to the late 1960s and early 1970s as the band - one of the biggest names in the history of rock - tried to break into the European market. Largely written by Leon Barnard, a superfan trying to persuade the band's manager Bill Siddons to put him in charge of the European arm of their operation, they shed light on the often chaotic and drug-fueled approach to marketing their music on this side of the Atlantic. Barnard eventually became The Doors' publicist from 1969-70 before Siddons fired him 'for misbehavin'. The fascinating archive of letters details Barnard's attempts to promote the band in Sweden and Denmark, together with tensions caused by his fears of being sidelined by the US PR company, problems with money and Siddons' reservations about Barnard's anarchic behaviour. The rise of Jim Morrison Amid all the chaos are important historical details too. On June 4, 1968, Barnard notes how The Doors were the first American band to make the Danish hitlist; on June 23, he explains how Jim Morrison is beginning to overshadow Mick Jagger as the fans' favourite; while in early July that year he reveals that the album Waiting for the Sun has already sold 4,000 copies and two planned concerts are sell-outs - just as doubts arise as to whether The Doors will even embark on the tour. While Barnard comes across as a highly disorganised loose cannon, Siddons keeps faith with him and even discusses the prospect of an official role for him as part of the US PR firm's operation. The speed of the band's rise is reflected in the revelation of an early October 1968 letter that Waiting for the Sun has now sold over 700,000 copies and will hit the one million mark soon: 'Dear Leon, What's happening brother???? . . . I'm meeting with Rogers, Cowan and Brenner Monday [the PR firm], to fight about the London-European situation . . . The Doors are all fine and good . . . I would like you to send me a very detailed report on the cooperation and non-cooperation your are getting from Denmark. "Waiting for the Sun" has sold 700,000 copies. Rothchild and Holzman think the album should go over the million mark by the end of the year. Chomp on that one for a while!!!!" In all, 28 autograph, signed and typed letters are included, all relating to The Doors' planned 1968 European promotional activities, the reception of promotional showings of their films Unknown Soldier and Break on Through, censorship issues, and Leon Barnard's attempts to establish an official European representative role for the band. Details of the archive The archive contains previously unpublished insights into Jim Morrison, the band's European exposure, Elektra's marketing strategy, and the short-lived Scandinavian promotional campaign. Among the earliest documents in the archive are original Elektra Corporation Artist/Writer royalty payment statements issued to band members Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek in October 1966, immediately following The Doors' signing to Elektra Records and prior to the release of their debut album. "These documents likely represent some of the earliest advances or contractual royalty payments made to individual members of the band, predating the group's commercial breakthrough with recordings such as Light My Fire, Break On Through, and The End," says Ewbank's consultant specialist Denise Kelly. "As early Elektra financial records tied directly to named members of the group, they offer rare documentary insight into the moment The Doors transitioned from an unsigned Los Angeles club act to a major label recording artist." At the heart of the archive is an extensive run of original blue T.T.G. Inc. studio invoices, together with Sunset Sound and Elektra Records accounting documentation, recording session-by-session activity including tracking, overdubbing, playback, editing, and tape stock usage. The documents name key figures central to the Elektra story - label founder Jac Holzman, producer Paul Rothchild, engineer Bruce Botnick, and A&R executive Dave Anderle - providing contemporary evidence of how the band, studio, and label interacted on a day-to-day basis during the recording of Waiting for the Sun. "These documents go beyond routine accounting," says Denise Kelly. "They record revealing moments from the sessions themselves, including aborted studio time in which 'client showed but nothing was accomplished', late night sessions running until 4am, and charges for microphone damage incurred during recording - small but telling details that vividly illustrate the intensity and unpredictability of The Doors' creative process." It also includes three 1967-68 original invoices from Sunset Sound Recorders, California, to Elektra Corp, issued for The Doors recording, dubbing and editing sessions from the height of their career, as well as royalty statements for members of the band. The invoices form a continuous documentary record of the creation of the album Waiting For The Sun. Hollywood's Sunset Sound Recorders was the iconic studio where The Doors recorded their first two albums, The Doors (1967) and Strange Days (1967). The studios unique acoustics and custom-built recording equipment enabled the band to capture their ground-breaking signature sound, working with producer, Paul Rothchild and engineer, Bruce Bothnick, especially notable for their hits such as Light My Fire and The End. In December 1967, The Doors were busy with live performances, a legendary televised performance on The Jonathan Winters Show, and multiple shows at San Francisco's Winterland Arena which showcased the band's musical prowess. The month was also marked by Jim Morrison's infamous arrest on stage after a pre-show altercation with the police during a chaotic New Haven concert on December 9, an incident that led to a riot and added to the band's rebellious image. "This archive provides a hugely detailed and fascinating insight into an iconic band whose music and character resonates as strongly today as it did more than 55 years ago when Jim Morrison, then only 27 years old and the most charismatic front man in rock, died tragically in Paris," said Denise Kelly. "It comes to auction here unaltered after nearly 60 years, instantly recapturing the 'hippie' spirit of the times, and is a must for serious collectors." Offered in a series of lots that keep the 28 letters together, the archive comes with an overall upper auction guide of £10,500.

PFAS Labeling Language Approved for Specified Products in Connecticut

Wed, Jan 21, 2026 06:16 EST

SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 001.26, highlighting the approval of labeling language for certain products containing intentionally-added per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the US state of Connecticut. The Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) in the state announced an order in late 2025 approving the specific words, phrases or symbols required to inform purchasers when PFAS are intentionally added to products. This follows the signing into law of SB 292, which restricts the sale of certain products with intentionally added PFAS unless they carry compliant labeling. This will be implemented from July 1, 2026, and is codified as Section 22a-903c of the Connecticut General Statutes. SGS experts publish SafeGuardS to keep stakeholders informed about regulatory changes that could impact their business. SafeGuardS 001.26 includes a concise table summarizing the order's scope, labeling requirements and affected product categories. Stakeholders are encouraged to refer to the original SafeGuardS 001.26 for more details.
