NEW YORK, NY — June 16, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Verizon (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) today announced the next step in its ongoing transformation, replacing complexity and friction with simplicity and true customer choice. The company is putting its customers first – existing and new – by redefining loyalty and eliminating activation and upgrade fees. As part of the customer-centered reboot, Verizon is also launching “Verizon Simplicity,” the industry’s most simple and cost-effective plan. With Simplicity, there are no network tiers; everyone gets Verizon’s best 5G network. Also available starting today, the company launched Verizon One, a streamlined plan that combines Mobility and Home on one bill with taxes and fees included.

«We’re fundamentally reshaping Verizon inside and out to put the customer at the center of everything we do. We’re listening, designing for them, and moving faster than we ever have before,” said Dan Schulman, Verizon CEO. “For too long, this industry has burdened people with complex plans, forced upgrades they don’t need, and so-called ‘rewards’ with tons of caveats. We are working to ensure everything that we do is simple, clear and delightful.”

Today’s announcement is part of Verizon’s multi-year transformation, redefining its relationship with customers now and for the long-term.

“With today’s news, we’re doubling down on what customers actually want: simpler experiences, less friction and more rewards for being a customer.

Verizon Dollars lets us reward them back, on their terms,” said Villanueva. “Not just some customers, on some plans, but for all. Customers earn Dollars every single month just for being with us, and we let them choose how to spend it.”

NEW YORK, NY — June 11, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — Every year, doctors tell more than 5,000 Americans they have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known as ALS. It is a life-changing diagnosis.

Still, it’s hard to estimate the total number of ALS cases in the United States. No one knows what causes most cases of ALS, something the U.S. National ALS Registry is working to change.

In honor of ALS Awareness Month, learn more about the registry, how the information is used and how to enroll if you have ALS.

What is ALS?

ALS is a disease that affects the nerve cells that make muscles work in the body. This disease makes the nerve cells stop working and die. The nerves lose the ability to trigger specific muscles, which causes the muscles to become weak and leads to paralysis.

What is the registry?

“The National ALS Registry is a program of, by and for those living with ALS,” said Dr. Paul Mehta, principal investigator of the Registry. “The program collects, manages and analyzes data about people with ALS in the United States. It includes data and information provided by individuals who choose to register and complete the risk factor surveys.”

What is its purpose?

The main purpose is to gather information that can be used in the fight against ALS. The information is used to:

• Estimate the number of new cases of ALS diagnosed each year
• Estimate the number of people who have ALS at any given point in time
• Better understand who gets ALS and what factors affect the disease
• Enhance research that could improve care for people with ALS

How do researchers use the data?

Researchers can use the data to look for disease pattern changes over time and try to identify whether there are common risk factors among people with ALS. Since 2010, the registry has funded more than a dozen studies exploring potential ALS risk factors.

What does participation look like?

Individuals with ALS are encouraged to share their stories, enhancing ALS data and supporting research efforts. People living with ALS can help the National ALS Registry by completing up to 18 risk factor surveys, covering topics such as occupational history and environmental exposures, which help create a more complete picture of their ALS story.

How can someone join?

Anyone living with ALS can enroll. By joining and taking the risk factor surveys, individuals living with ALS can help future generations.

NEW YORK, NY — June 10, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — A bit of shade and diligent sunscreen use can go a long way, but protecting your skin – the body’s largest organ – takes more than just the basics for optimal health, particularly during the hottest times of the year.

In fact, it’s not only about what you put on your body, but in it, too. Emerging research suggests grapes may do more than simply provide hydration, nutrition and natural sweetness; they may help support health at the genetic level. A study published in “ACS Nutrition Science” found consuming grapes changed gene expression in human skin and helped support biological processes associated with healthier, more resilient skin.

These findings add to mounting evidence that grapes act as a “nutrigenomic” food, meaning the antioxidant and other polyphenol compounds naturally found in grapes may influence how genes behave in the body. The results also highlight how whole foods like grapes may influence important biological pathways in the body, according to John Pezzuto, dean and professor of pharmaceutics at the Western New England University College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences.

“We are now certain that grapes are a superfood and mediate a nutrigenomic response in humans,” Pezzuto said. “The changes in gene expression indicated improvements in skin health.”

Along with making foods like Grapes from California a regular part of your diet, consider these ways to support and protect skin throughout the year.

Cool Down After Sun Exposure

Time in the sun can leave skin feeling dry or irritated, even with sunscreen and protective clothing. After going for a run or spending time at the pool, make sure to rinse off sweat and chlorine with a gentle cleanser then follow up with a lightweight moisturizer or lotion to replenish skin and leave it feeling fresh. Applying moisturizer regularly – especially after showering or washing your face – can help lock in hydration and support your skin’s natural barrier.

Consume Skin-Friendly Foods and Beverages

A cold glass of water goes a long way, but what you put on your plate can play a role in how your skin looks and feels, too. Foods that deliver antioxidants and other polyphenols, like California grapes, may help support skin health from the inside out. An additional bonus: With their high water content, grapes can help maintain hydration, particularly during warmer months.

For the best of both worlds, add an easy beverage to your menu with California Grape Rosemary Spritzers, which combine sparkling water and grapes with a hint of rosemary for a sip that’s equal parts refreshing and delicious.

Don’t Forget Lips and Eyes

Layering sunscreen on exposed skin might be your first priority before stepping into the sun. However, lips and eyes shouldn’t be forgotten. Often overlooked in skin care routines, lips are especially vulnerable to sun damage and dehydration. Make sure to use a lip balm with SPF protection throughout the day and reapply often.

Similarly, the delicate skin around the eyes might be one of the first places to show signs of sun damage. Wear sunglasses with UV protection to shield both your eyes and surrounding skin from harsh rays.

Keep an Eye on Changing Skin

New spots, skin changes or itchiness shouldn’t be ignored. Perform regular skin checks at home, particularly if you spend a lot of time outdoors, and routinely visit a dermatologist who can help catch potential concerns early in support of long-term skin health.

MIAMI, FL — June 8, 2026 — (NOTICIAS NEWSWIRE) — From family restaurants and barbershops to small local shops, small business owners are preparing for what is expected to be one of the busiest seasons of the year.

With rising tourism and the arrival of major events like Formula 1 and the FIFA World Cup—which will drive an influx of visitors, many small businesses are stocking up on inventory, hiring staff, and extending their operating hours to meet demand. However, a constant challenge remains for many: having access to working capital right when they need it most.

In high-growth, economically active markets like Miami, where millions of visitors drive local spending each year, small businesses often face added pressure to grow quickly and respond to demand.

For business owners, growth also brings pressure. A surge in demand often requires upfront investment in inventory, staff, and equipment before the revenue comes in.

«One of the biggest challenges for small business owners is time,» said Jose Miguel Vera, Senior Vice President of Growth and Marketing at One Park Financial. «Opportunities don’t wait, especially in a market like Miami. Business owners need access to capital that moves as fast as they do.»

One Park Financial, a Miami-based financing provider, offers revenue-based solutions designed to meet that need. Business owners can pre-qualify in minutes, receive an offer within hours, and, in many cases, secure funding on the same day.

The ability to act quickly can make a significant difference. According to the company, repeat clients who had previously received financing managed to increase their sales by an average of 20% (data based on the last five years of One Park Financial’s internal client information).

Tips for small business owners facing periods of high demand:

• Act proactively, not reactively: If you are missing out on opportunities due to a lack of cash flow, it might be time to explore financing options before demand peaks.
• in revenue-generating areas: Prioritize inventory, staff, and equipment that directly drives growth.
• Maintain constant control of cash flow: understanding inflows and outflows allows you to make faster, better-informed decisions.

As various cities enter a period of sustained economic activity, access to flexible financing solutions will remain crucial for small businesses looking to meet demand and scale strategically. For more information, visit oneparkfinancial.com. Services not available in California or New York.
