Eat It, Drink It? Track It - Thrive Through the Holiday Season: Don't Wait for January to Begin Calorie Tracking

YourUpdateTV

The holiday season is upon us, and with it comes the temptation to put off our health goals until the new year. Recently, Registered Dietician, Maya Feller, conducted a satellite media tour to share some easy tips and tricks to enjoy the holiday cheer while sticking to healthy habits. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/b_Kh_o3jNI4 Holiday gatherings typically revolve around food and drink, and now it’s easier to stay on track with your health goals during the holidays while still partaking in all the fun. Tracking your food and drink intake with the free MyFitnessPal app is an easy way to keep an eye on how you’re tracking against your goals. How To Have a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season Tracking involves both quantity (calories) and quality (macros, which include protein, fat, and carbs) of what you eat. It can be difficult to make sure you are getting enough protein and fiber without tracking with a tool, like MyFitnessPal. MyFitnessPal’s food database contains over 18 million foods, so you’ll be able to find nutrition insights on whatever holiday treat you’re looking forward to eating. Go one-for-one. Consider matching a glass of water for each cocktail you enjoy. Alcohol, along with added sugars found in cocktails, can add up quickly - leading to dehydration, changes in blood sugar, and unwanted morning-after headaches if you’re not careful. Tracking with MyFitnessPal can provide insights into how much added sugar you’re eating - and drinking. Give yourself some grace; enjoying celebration meals does not mean you need to go into a cycle of restricting food intake and over-exercising as compensation. The foundation of your health is built on routines and what you do the majority of the time. Nourish your body throughout the day to take the charge out of the celebratory meal. Add plants (fruits and veggies) that are accessible, affordable, culturally relevant, and tasty to your routine. Adding these foods increases the nutrient density of your meals. If you want to finish the year off strong, MyFitnessPal can provide inspiration on making small daily changes that add up to big improvements over time. Whether inspiration for new recipes, or providing healthier holiday alternatives, the app is like having a nutritionist and support community in the palm of your hand, plus the insights can be very eye-opening. To learn more, download the MyFitnessPal app on iOS and Android or visit MYFITNESSPAL.COM About Maya Feller Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN is the founder and lead dietitian at Maya Feller Nutrition. In her practice, her team provides medical nutrition therapy and nutrition coaching for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, mood disorders, developmental disabilities, disordered eating, and more.

Beginning December 9 th at 8am eastern, the new Cleared For Takeoff episode will be available to watch here and on the Hibbett YouTube channel. Bryce Young, filmed the first episode of Cleared for Takeoff in his current hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina at the Panthers Practice Facility and a local Hibbett store. Young shared how focusing on his dreams as a kid led him on a path to become a first-round draft pick for the Panthers. “My dream began in Pasadena, California at Victory Park running around, having fun and not worrying about anything but playing football. Football is where I found myself and not just in sports, but through life.” Young talked about how hard work, encouragement from his mentors and his own self-belief, led him to football success. “Challenges are inevitable in sports and life. The game gave me a sense of direction and a sense of accomplishment. No matter how hard, ultimately it allowed me to grow.” “We are excited to kick off our first episode of Cleared For Takeoff while celebrating the launch of the iconic Air Jordan 11 Gratitude,” said Sarah-Sharp Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. “We believe in inspiring kids and providing opportunities for them to “take flight,” follow their dreams and live boldy without limits. We appreciate Bryce Young, Jordan Brand and the Jordan Wings Initiative for helping us bring this episode to life.” During the episode, Young is seen stopping by Hibbett in Charlotte and visiting with 23 Jordan Wings students from the Carolina Youth Coalition and Rise2Impact, both partners of the Jordan Wings Initiative. The purpose of the Jordan Wings Initiative - which works with partners globally - is to unlock access to education and mentorship, as well as, create inspiration and access that helps youth create a better future. It is inspired by Michael Jordan’s legacy of greatness and commitment to education. The students got the surprise of their lives when Young showed up to meet with them and discuss how he approached his own journey to success. Young encouraged the students to follow their own dreams and to find their passion. “Dreams are something that have always guided me and always pushed me. The beautiful thing is that there is no limit to what it can be. I’m grateful to be in the position I am to inspire the next generation. Understand that no matter where you’re from, your background, what is against you, or isn’t, all things are possible.” Young then ended his visit by gifting the students with their very own pairs of Air Jordan 11’s. Hibbett also presented each student in attendance with a $1000 giftcard to enjoy a private shopping experience and purchase shoes for the year ahead. Fans can look forward to more Cleared For Takeoff episodes coming in 2024. About Hibbett, Inc.

Minuteman Press Franchise Review: King's Lynn Owners Paula & Keith Boyce Share Key Lessons Learned & Growth Insights for 2024

Minuteman Press International Inc

For nearly two decades, Paula and Keith Boyce have been the dynamic duo behind the Minuteman Press franchise in the vibrant town of King's Lynn, Norfolk, UK. Their journey has been nothing short of extraordinary, transforming their business from a traditional high street print shop into a cutting-edge powerhouse, delivering ingenious print solutions to a roster of prestigious corporate clients. The highlight of their journey came in 2021 when they received the coveted invitation to join the Minuteman Press International President’s Club, a testament to their unwavering dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. Keith Boyce shares the nearly 20-year journey of Minuteman Press in King’s Lynn as well as the key lessons learned, growth insights for 2024, and advice for other owners. History of the Business According to Keith Boyce, “it all began in 2004 with the introduction to Minuteman Press International’s invaluable network of suppliers and partners.” With a focus on marketing, the Boyces conquered new markets, concentrating on delivering unparalleled service that shifted the conversation from price to value. This blueprint for success has powered year after year of remarkable growth, with one notable exception—2021 (during the height of the pandemic). So, what makes Minuteman King’s Lynn such a tour de force? Keith shares, “The system isn't a rigid framework; it's a catalyst for innovation. The transition from the bustling High Street to our present location at 12 Campbells Business Park was a thrilling exercise in adaptability, rooted in Minuteman Press' fundamental principles. Through open channels of communication, our entire team embraced opportunities.” Keith continues, “Then came the curveball – COVID-19. The world changed overnight, and our customers needed novel ways to engage with clients and expand their online presence. We already had a head start serving this market and seized this unique moment, igniting a spark of reinvention in the business, setting us apart from the competition. The reward? A robust financial position to propel us through this thrilling metamorphosis.” Growing the Business Today Today, Keith shares, “Our business is a perfect blend of tradition and innovation. Traditional core products still make up 50% of our operations. However, more recently in 2023 we took a bold leap forward by acquiring an apparel company. The remaining 50% is a whirlwind of online services, with virtual shops, print-on-demand, fulfilment, and drop-shipping at the forefront. These cutting-edge solutions are on everyone's lips as they adapt to the evolving business landscape. In 2023 and beyond, we are elated to provide ‘managed print services’ to 10 customers, with grand plans to expand to 20 in the coming year. The magic lies in the fact that our relationships with these customers evolve into vital partnerships, creating a vibrant ecosystem of success and learning.” What's next for Minuteman Press in King’s Lynn? Keith says, “Thankfully, the close-knit team and deep customer connections put us in a unique position. We know our customers inside and out, and partner ourselves with industry leaders. It's about weaving all these threads into a tapestry of opportunity. The market may throw curveballs, but we have pumped up the excitement in 2023 and heading into 2024 with a multi-channel marketing push. We are covering Google, social media, and a reinvigorated campaign to meet our existing, dormant, and new customers face to face.” Keith continues, “As Minuteman Head Office puts it, there's direct marketing, and then there's everything else! This is the fundamental tenet of our ongoing quest for year-on-year growth. We also strive to achieve this with careful consideration of our environmental footprint and the need to focus on sustainability, which is a big point of focus here in the UK.” Key Lessons Learned & Advice for Others Keith concludes by sharing, “The most gripping lessons we’ve learned in our 19-year journey are that marketing and nurturing new & existing customers is an unending adventure. It's about keeping focus on profitability and aligning your employees with stretching objectives and lofty goals. Innovating, problem solving, establishing new revenue streams, all with a view to support customers’ needs is what being a part of the franchise family is all about—boldly venturing into the unknown, setting sights high, and writing our success story, one thrilling chapter at a time.” For more information on Minuteman Press in King’s Lynn, England, visit https://minuteman.com/uk/locations/england/kings-lynn/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.co.uk Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com

Comcast and Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission Commit $2 Million to Shrink Digital Divide in Multnomah County

Comcast Oregon / SW Washington

Comcast and the Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission today announced a new $2 million investment in Free Geek, a leading local non-profit advancing economic equity through technology training and career building. This investment will help the most disconnected communities in Multnomah County get online and receive the resources, devices and technology education needed to advance digital skills for education and work, enhance economic mobility, and promote digital equity. “We see firsthand that the digital divide continues to be a persistent challenge for communities in Multnomah County. East Portland, Gresham, Fairview, Wood Village, and Troutdale are home to some of our most disconnected communities. More than 3,000 residents do not own a computer and many others don’t know how to use it effectively,” said Juan Muro, Executive Director, Free Geek. “This investment will ensure that these families have the same benefits as others and their children have access to online resources to be successful in school.” Free Geek will use the investment to help bridge the digital divide by working to connect more people to the internet and getting devices into the hands of people who need them. In addition, Free Geek will serve as consultants to enable community partners to expand their own digital equity programs in alignment with the region's Digital Equity Action Plan, which is focused on helping the most vulnerable communities in Portland and Multnomah County. "All Oregonians should be able to access the internet in order to connect with educational, health care, and economic opportunities," Governor Tina Kotek said. “Together, with public and private partners, we are working towards a common purpose of empowering individuals to get online, enhance digital skills, and advance economic mobility.” Free Geek will also bring additional capacity to its network of community partners as they work to remove barriers to broadband adoption. This includes addressing the lack of awareness about how to participate in the federal government’s Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), which provides eligible low-income households with a credit of up to $30 per month toward their internet and/or mobile service – $75 per month on tribal lands, as well as the wider availability of free digital skills programs. “The MHCRC has a long history of advocating for digital equity through access to and use of telecommunications technology through public-private partnerships. We are excited to be able to partner with Comcast and Free Geek to bring this resource to the community at a time when funding and support for local efforts in urban communities is limited,” said Julia DeGraw, Chair, MHCRC. Today’s announcement is the latest example of investment in Oregon under Comcast’s Project UP program, a comprehensive initiative to advance digital equity and help build a future of unlimited possibilities. Earlier this year, the company invested $300,000 to advance digital equity and economic opportunity in the greater Portland area. At that time, Comcast and Free Geek joined together to launch a Lift Zone, which provides free WiFi at the new Center for Technology Education & Digital Equity, and scale a Digital Navigators program that will help connect more people in the area to the internet and teach them how to use it. “While high-speed internet is widely available in Multnomah County, the unfortunate reality is that not everyone has the resources and digital skills they need to benefit from it,” said Comcast Pacific Northwest Region Senior Vice President Rodrigo Lopez. “By continuing our partnership with Free Geek, we are creating a more prepared and inclusive workforce and ensuring that communities in the Greater Portland area are not left behind.” Over the last three years, Comcast has provided $5.8 million in financial and in-kind charitable contributions to Oregon nonprofits. These contributions support local community programs that help establish and promote the company’s Digital Equity Network in Oregon. The efforts also enable partner organizations to acquire technology equipment, provide digital skills trainings, and offer opportunities for community members to explore and train for careers in tech-related fields, or to develop the kinds of technology skills that can help them launch and grow their own businesses. Thanks to the ACP, eligible Comcast customers can get home Internet either through Comcast’s Internet Essentials or Internet Essentials Plus service tiers at no cost, once the federal credit is applied. Internet Essentials customers can also add a line of unlimited 5G cellular data ($45/month) through Xfinity Mobile for as little as $24.95/month, after the ACP benefit is applied. For more information about Project UP and Comcast’s commitment to education and digital equity, please visit https://corporate.comcast.com/impact/project-up. To apply for ACP or Internet Essentials visit www.Xfinity.com/free or www.internetessentials.com or call 1-855-846-8376 for English or 1-855-765-6995 for Spanish. About Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission: Mt. Hood Cable Regulatory Commission represents the cities of Fairview, Gresham, Portland, Troutdale, and Wood Village, and Multnomah County. The Commission is comprised of eight volunteers who represent the communities’ cable communications technology needs and collaborate to ensure the region benefits from cable service franchise agreements. About Free Geek: Free Geek is a Portland-based non-profit organization with a mission to repurpose technology and discover sustainable solutions while providing educational resources. Its ultimate aim is to foster a vibrant community where individuals are empowered to unlock their full potential. Through their dedicated efforts, they strive to transform the world by leveraging technology, sustainability, and education to create a brighter, more inclusive future, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and make a meaningful impact. About Comcast Corporation: Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA) is a global media and technology company. From the connectivity and platforms we provide, to the content and experiences we create, our businesses reach hundreds of millions of customers, viewers, and guests worldwide.

TICK TOCK, IT’S GIFT O’CLOCK

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/isxODjRl8hw The holiday retail season is sneaking up on consumers who are eager to find the latest and greatest gifts for family and friends. According to the latest industry data, sales are expected to increase between 3.5% and 4.6% when compared to last year. That means most shoppers plan on spending just over $800 on holiday gifts this year. That rings in to more than $180 billion in total. Popular gifting categories remain consistent with last year’s trends, with tech gadgets reining supreme, followed by footwear, bath and body goods, scents, and travel. However, a growing number of Americans plan on gifting quality time to loved ones, in the form of concerts, movies, and restaurant experiences. Brahney has compiled a list of her favorite holiday hosting and gift ideas. GIFTING POPULAR & TRENDING: Brahney says, “Tractor Supply, the largest rural lifestyle retailer in the nation, is committed to helping shoppers sleigh the holidays by providing a one-stop shop for everyone on your list.” She continues, by pointing out one of the best gifts out there, which is a TikTok sensation, “ The Tractor Supply 12V Zero-Turn Lawn Mower Ride-On Toy is so popular and the kiddos are loving it!” It’s a toy lawn mower with an enclosed translucent deck that provides a lifelike illusion of mowing. The dual motor handle drive system is easy for little hands to operate and even allows for 360-degree spins. The rubber traction strip tires keep the ride smooth and steady, while the included seatbelt and cup holder add safety and convenience. It comes with a 12V rechargeable battery and wall charger. The lifestyle expert also points to another gift for people of all ages, saying “We can’t forget about the YETI Ramble 30 oz Tumbler. It’s perfect for the moms and dads who are outside playing with their kids.” The tumbler is double-wall insulated with an 18/8 stainless steel body, which means a drink keeps its temperature no matter how much of a beating this cup takes. The YETI Ramblers are BPA-free, dishwasher safe, and have a No Sweat Design to make sure your hands stay dry. Tractor Supply now has a robust line of Yeti products, like coolers, chairs, mugs and more Tractor Supply recently released its helpful holiday gift guide chock full of gift ideas that fit every budget and occasion - and all with the goal of sparking joy and connection this holiday season.
