FedEx and International Youth Foundation Mind the Gap in Logistics

Posted on February 11, 2026 by sHq_LoGiNz

Around the world, the logistics sector is growing fast, but companies can’t find enough qualified workers to keep up. In fact, a shortage of skilled talent is now one of the top barriers to growth across the industry. In Mexico, for example, the logistics sector is projected to grow by approximately 7% annually by 2030, yet 68% of logistics companies already report difficulty finding skilled talent (ManpowerGroup).

At the same time, many young people in Mexico are looking for work. But misaligned school systems and limited access to technical training leave them unprepared for jobs in modern logistics. As a result, young people are locked out of high-potential careers, and companies face severe difficulties hiring the best talent.

Four students showing their work

In 2018, FedEx approached the International Youth Foundation (iyfglobal.org) with a shared challenge: How can we best close this workforce gap while building a more inclusive, future-ready logistics sector?

Maine’s First Utility-Scale Battery Energy Storage System Now Online

Posted on February 11, 2026 by sHq_LoGiNz

Plus Power’s 175 MW / 350 MWh facility is now the largest of its kind in New England, and
will help strengthen the reliability of the regional grid

GORHAM, Maine, Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — At a ribbon cutting today, Plus Power announced it is now operating its Cross Town Energy Storage facility in Gorham, Maine. Cross Town is the state’s first utility-scale standalone battery energy storage system, and the largest of its kind on the ISO New England grid.

This utility-scale battery project absorbs excess energy when customer demand is lower and stores it for use during times of peak demand. As such, it will help balance intermittent energy resources, enhance power reliability and efficiency, and mitigate energy price spikes.

“Today, Maine welcomed the largest energy storage project of its kind in New England, delivering real cost savings and reliable power for Maine,” said Governor Janet Mills. “This project will help lower electricity costs by reducing the need for costly fossil fuels when the grid is strained, as we’ve seen during recent extreme cold weather. I congratulate the Town of Gorham and Plus Power on this significant achievement that will deliver lasting savings and reliability for Maine people.”

Maine’s leadership on battery storage policies led Plus Power to invest in Gorham and build this 175 MW / 350 MWh resource, which will support the state’s goal to deploy 400 MW of battery energy storage by 2030. Batteries like Cross Town also enable the integration of higher penetrations of variable renewable energy, supporting Maine’s goal for 90 percent of its electricity sales to be from renewable sources by 2030, and 100 percent by 2040.

Located on roughly 5 acres of land, Cross Town interconnects adjacent to Central Maine Power’s 115kV Moshers substation, where the transmission grid is particularly congested. The facility’s location enables it to ease congestion and facilitate the use of wind power from Northern Maine to meet demand in Southern Maine and Boston.

Cross Town will also help ISO New England make up for the power capacity lost by retiring gas and other power plants.

“Plus Power is proud to operate another landmark facility in New England and further strengthen power reliability in the region,” said Naveen Abraham, chief executive officer of Plus Power. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with ISO New England as our facilities demonstrate the unique capabilities of battery energy storage systems.”

Cross Town features 156 units of Sungrow’s flagship PowerTitan battery energy storage system, which are well suited for peak performance in Maine’s dynamic climate. Plus Power worked with Maine-based Cianbro Corporation on engineering, procurement, and construction of the facility.

Cross Town is Plus Power’s second battery energy storage project in New England. Its 150 MW / 300 MWh Cranberry Point Energy Storage in Carver, Massachusetts came online in spring 2025, and supported ISO New England during a heat-driven scarcity event on June 24. Demand was 200 MW higher than the forecasted peak for the day, pushing prices to $1,110/MWh, more than double the average daily price. Cranberry Point was 100% available and provided critical energy to the grid when ISO-NE requested it through its generation dispatch system.

Cross Town and Cranberry Point were also 100% available and at full capacity during the recent Winter Storm Fern, providing critical reinforcements to ISO New England and helping maintain power for its customers through bitter cold. As the region continues to face extreme weather, Cross Town and Cranberry Point will play a crucial role in maintaining reliable power and controlling costs.

About Plus Power

The Plus Power team is accelerating the deployment of transmission-connected battery energy storage throughout the United States. Plus Power develops, owns, and operates standalone battery energy storage systems that provide capacity, energy, and ancillary services, enabling the rapid integration of renewable generation resources.

The company’s portfolio includes 11 GW of projects in more than 20 states. It owns nine operating facilities located in Arizona, Hawaii, Maine, Massachusetts, and Texas that total 1,650 MW / 4,150 MWh. Headquartered near Houston, with offices in San Francisco, Chicago, and Palm Beach Gardens, Plus Power operates at the nexus of energy, technology, and finance.

Guiding Stars: Trend-Proof Nutrition

Posted on February 11, 2026 by sHq_LoGiNz

Originally published on Guiding Stars Health & Nutrition News

by Allison Stowell

We’re often flooded with diet promises claiming to be the key to better health. Popular plans like keto and paleo encourage more meat. At the same time, fibermaxxing focuses on daily fiber intake (a difficult goal when you’re eliminating carbohydrates). It’s easy to be confused and wonder what approach makes the most sense. What if you could take the best parts of these trends—like fiber-rich produce, quality protein, and nutrient-dense foods—and make them work for you? Guiding Stars is here to show us how we can.

Keto, but Better

The typical keto diet is very low in carbohydrates (less than 50 grams). It’s also very high in fat (about 70% of calories). Putting your body into ketosis will likely lead to weight loss—that is true. However, consuming so few carbohydrates can have a negative impact on your digestive system, mood, energy output, and strength. And a diet so high in saturated fat from higher-fat meat and full-fat dairy also increases risk of heart disease.

Are you curious about the keto diet but also looking for an approach that’s sustainable (with fewer negative impacts)? Then modify the traditional approach. Go for Guiding Stars-earning, lean meats for high-protein intake without saturated fat. Choose very lean ground turkey, 90% lean ground sirloin, and skinless chicken breast. Limit higher-fat proteins to salmon and other fish high in omega fats. And include just enough whole grains and fiber-rich vegetables to sustain your energy and protect your digestive system.

Intermittent Fasting

The eating pattern known as intermittent fasting remains popular. But for many people, it’s unsustainable and creates extreme hunger that leads to the same or more daily intake (just in fewer hours). Instead, eat earlier in the day and limit evening eating to create a 10-12-hour overnight fast. This gives the digestive system time to rest and may positively impact metabolism as well. For many of us, this simply means not eating after 6 or 7pm.

Plant-Based Protein

Interest in plant-based eating has increased over the past few years, with more products proudly calling out “plant-based” on their packaging. But it’s easy to overlook the nutritional quality of a product if “plant-based” is the only consideration. Look for Guiding Stars to ensure a product isn’t just made from plants, but that it’s nutritious too. Remember, you aren’t just not eating meat, you’re choosing plant-based protein. Viewing it through this lens encourages a balanced diet with adequate protein. Without this focus, your diet may lack the nutritional balance you need.

Paleo

The paleo diet attempts to replicate the way hunters and gatherers ate before we could farm (and process) foods. The emphasis is on grass-fed meat, fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, seeds, and lower-glycemic vegetables and fruit. Unlike the keto diet, a paleo approach won’t leave you in ketosis. However, eliminating whole grains, dairy, and legumes means missing out on fiber and other essential micronutrients. Try a more balanced, sustainable approach instead—choose fewer processed products, limit added sugar, and use Guiding Stars to find nutrient-dense products

About Guiding Stars

Guiding Stars is an objective, evidence-based, nutrition guidance program that evaluates foods and beverages to make nutritious choices simple. Products that meet transparent nutrition criteria earn a 1, 2, or 3 star rating for good, better, and best nutrition. Guiding Stars can be found in more than 2,000 grocery stores and through the Guiding Stars Food Finder app.
