Neighbors Helping Neighbors Event Benefits Seniors in Detroit

Posted on September 8, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Key Points

Valerie Norrell’s mother, who has multiple sclerosis, received help from Marathon Petroleum volunteers to clean up her yard, which had been neglected due to health issues in the family.
The Neighbors Helping Neighbors event, organized by Marathon Petroleum’s Detroit refinery, involved 50 volunteers assisting seniors with yardwork, tree trimming and small repairs.
The volunteers’ efforts transformed Norrell’s mother’s yard, and their dedication was greatly appreciated by the community.

Valerie Norrell said her mom becomes emotional every time she thinks about the volunteers from Marathon Petroleum who came to help clean up her yard during its annual day of service. Norrell said that her mother, who is 84 and has had multiple sclerosis since 1973, has lived in the same Colonial-style home near Marathon Petroleum’s Detroit refinery since Norrell was a child. Norrell and her husband used to take care of the yard until he started experiencing health issues last year.

“We physically couldn’t do it anymore,” said Norrell. “It was heartbreaking because my mom loves to look out the window to see her yard, and it was not being maintained. After a storm hit Michigan, it was even worse.”

For the sixth consecutive year, volunteers from the Detroit refinery hosted its Neighbors Helping Neighbors community service event. Employees volunteered their time to assist seniors living in the Boyton neighborhood near the refinery with yardwork, tree trimming and small repairs.

“This event allows us to get to know our neighbors and spend time helping them with yard projects they aren’t able to do on their own,” said Whitney Walton, Senior Security Specialist at the refinery and organizer of the Neighbors Helping Neighbors event.

Fifty employees, contractors, and co-ops from the Detroit refinery volunteered at 20 homes that were selected for assistance.

“They just went above and beyond to help in our community,” said Norrell. “They worked for hours, and now my mom’s huge yard looks like a park. I just really appreciate it.”

The Neighbors Helping Neighbors event takes place each summer to help get yards overgrown with grass, brush and fallen trees in shape for residents to be able to maintain it themselves.

When Disaster Hits, So Do Scams — Stay Alert and Stay Protected

Posted on September 8, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Natural disasters like wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes and winter storms can bring visible danger and destruction – but don’t overlook the hidden threats that can follow these devastating events. Bad actors often take advantage of people’s tragedy, vulnerability and empathy, exploiting the chaos during and after disasters to target both those in need and those eager to help.

Scammers and fraudsters have a wide variety of tactics in their arsenal, like making deceptive calls, creating fake websites and sending malicious texts, emails and social media posts. Some will even go door-to-door impersonating government officials or disaster relief workers in an attempt to steal money meant for rebuilding lives, homes and communities.

Whether you live in a disaster-prone area or not, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the types of scams and fraudulent activity that can occur. Here are the main ones to know:

Contractor Fraud: Dishonest contractors demanding payment for repairs they never finish, inflating costs or delivering unsafe, poor-quality work.
Insurance Scams: Scammers impersonating insurance agents or adjusters, offering fake policies, charging inflated premiums or collecting personal information to commit identity theft.
Fake Offers of Aid: Criminals posing as government or relief agencies to trick people into sharing personal and financial information or paying fraudulent “application fees” — agencies like FEMA don’t charge to apply.
Donation and Charity Scams: Bad actors posing as legitimate charities or relief organizations to steal money or personal information instead of helping disaster victims.

Awareness of these scams is key, but there are also simple steps you can take to protect yourself and avoid becoming a target:

Be careful with unsolicited messages: If you receive unexpected calls, texts or emails asking for money or personal information, do not respond or click on links. Instead, hang up, delete the message and contact the organization directly through an official website or phone number.
Approach door-to-door visits with caution: Always ask for official identification and verify credentials before allowing anyone inside your home. Legitimate FEMA inspectors and government workers will never demand cash, request sensitive financial information or pressure you into immediate payments.
Monitor accounts and freeze credit: Regularly check your bank accounts and statements for unauthorized transactions and activity and freeze your credit reports with all three credit bureaus to protect against identity theft.
Verify charities first: Research charities through trusted sources like Charity Navigator and donate directly to known organizations through their website.
Stay informed: Watch and read credible news sourcesto stay up-to-date about the latest scams and official disaster relief efforts.
Report scams and fraud: If you encounter suspicious activity — disaster-related or otherwise — file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and notify the National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF).

In addition to taking these general precautions, look into tools your wireless provider offers to help block scammers and fraudsters. For example, T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile customers have Scam Shield, a benefit included in customers’ plans that automatically identifies possible scam calls at the network level and labels them as “Scam Likely” on your phone. Scam Block can be turned on to automatically block those calls by dialing #662# or through T-Mobile’s T-Life app. You can also forward suspicious text messages to 7726.

Scammers count on chaos and confusion to succeed, but with awareness and proactive steps, you can protect yourself, your loved ones and your community from becoming their next target.

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Absolute Dental, a leading dental care provider in Nevada, proudly announces it will surpass a major philanthropic milestone this fall: raising $250,000 for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation of Nevada. This remarkable achievement will be reached during the upcoming SuperHero 5K at the end of September—culminating years of committed partnership, employee pledges, and community-driven events.

Candlelighters, a nonprofit supporting families facing pediatric cancer, has provided financial assistance, emotional support, and advocacy for over 40 years. The funds raised by Absolute Dental have helped ensure that local families in crisis receive the resources they need during their most difficult times.

“This cause is deeply personal to our team,” said Julie Cotton, Director of Talent and Community Partnerships at Absolute Dental. “We’re honored to stand alongside Candlelighters and the families they serve. Our mission is to change lives—one smile, and one act of support at a time.”

Absolute Dental Cares Day with Cowabunga Waterparks
Dinks to Fight Cancer Pickleball Tournament at Chicken N Pickle
Candlelighters Nights with the Reno Aces and Las Vegas Aviators

These efforts have not only driven donations but have also rallied families, patients, and community partners together in support of Nevada’s youngest cancer warriors.

“We’re incredibly grateful for Absolute Dental’s unwavering support,” said Christina Ramirez, Candlelighters Interim CEO. “With the landscape of nonprofit funding becoming increasingly uncertain, direct donations like these are critical to continuing our programs. Every dollar helps us offer hope, stability, and tangible assistance to families when they need it most.”

This latest milestone brings Absolute Dental Cares’ total community giving to over $450,000 since its creation in 2018. Contributions have supported uninsured patients, veterans, local dental students, and even Absolute Dental team members in need—reaffirming the organization’s mission to serve Nevada’s communities beyond the dental chair.

Baker Hughes, PETRONAS Collaborate To Meet Asia-Pacific Region’s Energy Expansion and Transition Demands Through Technology Solutions and Enhanced Local Supply Chain

Posted on September 8, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Memorandum of Understanding aims to identify technologies within Baker Hughes’ and PETRONAS’ broad portfolio of solutions that are complementary and have potential to support Asia’s energy expansion and transition demands
Companies to collaborate also to support growing installed base in the region through initiatives that strengthen local supply chain and services capabilities for gas projects, including training and talent development
As a first step to enhance local services capabilities, Baker Hughes will expand existing gas technology services facility footprint to develop a full aeroderivative gas turbine module repair services facility inclusive of testing capabilities

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, HOUSTON and LONDON, September 8, 2025 /3BL/ – Baker Hughes, an energy technology company, and Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS), announced that they have entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on a strategic partnership to explore business initiatives that have the potential to support the delivery of Asia’s energy expansion and transition.

The MoU serves as a foundation for collaboration initiatives between the two companies to enhance local supply chain capabilities and explore the feasibility of implementing a variety of technology solutions including:

Enhanced LNG services footprint and cross-border talent training and development programs to strengthen local field operations capabilities
Exploration & production, chemicals and mature assets solutions
Digital solutions, including AI
Sustainable energy solutions including carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS), as well as lubricants and biofuels for turbomachinery supply chain

In support of these initiatives, Baker Hughes announced plans to expand on its existing services footprint in Malaysia to develop a full aeroderivative gas turbine module repair services facility, inclusive of disassembly, assembling, grinding and testing capabilities. With an installed base of over 600 gas turbines and continued expected growth given the energy expansion, these augmented services capabilities will provide enhanced service to customers across the region with the aim to accelerate service turnaround time and enable continued best-in-class reliability and availability.

“It is critically important to grow alongside our customers in Asia-Pacific, including PETRONAS, as we work toward our shared goal of sustainable energy development to provide for a world that needs more reliable, secure and lower-carbon energy,” said Baker Hughes Chairman and CEO Lorenzo Simonelli. “We look forward to working alongside PETRONAS, as well as other local partners, to realize this additional localization effort to help ensure energy is available today and in the future.”

PETRONAS Senior Vice President of Projects, Technology & Health, Safety, Security & Environment (PT&HSSE) Ir. Ts. Mohd Yusri Mohamed Yusof said, “Our extended strategic partnership with Baker Hughes is poised to drive excellence in project delivery, decarbonisation, supply chain resilience, and technology adoption. It signifies what’s possible when two industry leaders unite to foster innovation ecosystems and shape the future of energy. Furthermore, the setting up of an enhanced aeroderivative facility here is a positive development towards the region’s cleaner energy pursuit, underlining the strong partnerships needed to deliver Asia’s energy transition.”

Baker Hughes’ longstanding relationship with PETRONAS began in 1975, when the companies jointly pioneered LNG solutions for natural gas supply and collaborated on exploration and production projects. Currently Baker Hughes operates two turbomachinery services facilities in Malaysia: an aeroderivative gas turbine repairs facility in Port Klang, Selangor, which is operationalized through Aero Alliance, a joint venture between Baker Hughes and GE Vernova; and a heavy-duty gas turbine technology repairs, field service and digital services facility operated through its joint venture with Sapura Energy.

Baker Hughes also operates two supply bases to support its in-country oilfield services operations, while a Kuala Lumpur based iCenter™ facility provides monitoring and diagnostics for Baker Hughes’ turbomachinery equipment across the region.

Baker Hughes is currently undergoing assessments to identify the best location for placing its new expanded aeroderivative gas turbine services footprint in the country.

Elanco Innovation Builds Momentum, Credelio Quattro™ (Lotilaner, Moxidectin, Praziquantel, and Pyrantel Chewable Tablets) Reaches Blockbuster Status

Posted on September 8, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Credelio Quattro marked $100 million in net sales making it Elanco’s fastest pet health blockbuster in history and one of the industry’s fastest ever, especially with a single geographic approval
Credelio Quattro joins Experior® as Elanco’s second of six recently launched blockbuster-potential products to reach the $100 million annual net sales milestone
Zenrelia™ (ilunocitinib tablets) now in market in the European Union (EU) and Great Britain

GREENFIELD, Ind., September 8, 2025 /3BL/ – Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN) has announced significant advancements with its two most recent pet health innovations — Credelio Quattro and Zenrelia — further demonstrating the company’s commitment to helping pet owners and veterinarians around the world go beyond today’s standard of treatment.

Credelio Quattro, Elanco’s latest parasite innovation brought to market, became Elanco’s fastest pet health blockbuster in history and one of the industry’s fastest ever, especially with a single geographic approval, reaching blockbuster status of $100 million in net sales in less than eight months. Credelio Quattro offers the broadestⁱ parasite protection available in an isoxazoline endectocide covering six types of parasites — fleas, ticks, heartworm disease, and three risky intestinal parasites — roundworms, hookworms, and tapeworms.

“Credelio Quattro continues to break boundaries when it comes to offering veterinarians and pet owners parasite protection,” said Bobby Modi, Executive Vice President, U.S. Pet Health and Global Digital Transformation at Elanco. “We’re seeing incredibly strong demand for all-in-one products from pet owners and veterinarians alike. In fact, Credelio Quattro captured approximately 14% of the dollar share in broad-spectrum sales out of U.S. veterinary clinics in June. The introduction of Credelio Quattro has bolstered our broader Elanco portfolio in U.S. veterinary clinics, with Elanco now offering veterinarians a complete ecto, endo, and endecto portfolio with a variety of parasite coverage at a variety of price points to meet veterinarian and pet owner needs.”

Human and pet cases of tickborne disease, such as Lyme disease which is spread by the black-legged tick, are on the rise. According to the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), black-legged ticks are found across much of the eastern half of the United States, with aggressive populations in the North that appear to pose a higher risk of transmitting Lyme disease to humans and dogs; and these populations are also spreading South and West in the United States, as well as northward into new areas of Canada. Multiple studies have shown that areas of high risk for dogs are the same areas that humans are most likely to test positive for Lyme disease as well. CAPC recommends using products on pets that repel or quickly kill ticks before pathogens are transmitted. Credelio Quattro (lotilaner, moxidectin, praziquantel, and pyrantel chewable tablets) also contains lotilaner that kills ticksⁱⁱ fasterⁱⁱⁱ than sarolaner in Simparica Trio^® and afoxolaner in NexGard^®, protecting dogs against pathogen-carrying ticks.

“When I talk to veterinarians and pet owners, I hear they want something that’s reliable, that’s going to be easy to give and that’s powerful against the different parasites: heartworms, ticks, and intestinal parasites including hookworms and tapeworms,” said Dr. Lindsay Starkey, veterinarian and tenured Associate Professor of Parasitology at Oklahoma State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. “Credelio Quattro meets all of these expectations with its broad spectrum parasite control.”

Credelio Quattro joins Experior® as Elanco’s second of six recently launched blockbuster-potential products to reach the blockbuster milestone of $100 million annual net sales. Elanco continues to prepare to take Credelio Quattro global, with numerous submissions made in Australia, Canada, the EU, the UK, and Japan, setting up the company’s expected geographic expansion for the product starting in 2026.

Zenrelia Now in Market in EU and Great Britain

Zenrelia, an effective, convenient, and safe once-daily oral JAK inhibitor, continues its launch progress globally, gaining approval from the United Kingdom’s Veterinary Medicines Directorate in August. Additionally, launch progress continues across the EU and Great Britain with product supply now in market for veterinarians and pet owners.

“Now we have a medication that is once a day right from the start. I think it will really help improve that owner, patient, pet bond, it will hopefully help reduce caregiver burden and will improve patient and carer quality of life as well,” said Dr. Victoria Robinson BVM&S, BSc, CertAVP (VD), DipECVD, MRCVS, RCVS and European Specialist in Veterinary Dermatology. “Knowing what I currently know about Zenrelia, I am keen to use it in the clinic and start prescribing it.”

This launch represents a pivotal milestone within the international canine dermatology market, offering a single daily dose for controlling pruritus (itching) associated with allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs over 12 months of age. Zenrelia is now available in the European Union, Great Britain, Brazil, Canada, Japan, and the United States. The Zenrelia EU label is consistent with other markets outside North America where the product has already been approved. 

“Zenrelia joins our exciting, growing international pet health portfolio, including AdTab, Credelio Plus, Galliprant (grapiprant tablets) and others,” said Ramiro Cabral, Executive Vice President, Elanco International. “We are very pleased with the results we are seeing in the global market, with more than half a million dogs treated with Zenrelia.” 

As part of the EU approval process, Elanco conducted a head-to-head non-inferiority study versus the marketplace incumbent, Apoquel. The randomized, double-blind study of 338 client-owned dogs with confirmed atopic dermatitis was conducted across 25 study sites in four countries. The study is published in a leading peer-reviewed, international journal, Veterinary Dermatology: https://doi.org/10.1111/vde.13319.

WARNING: VACCINE-INDUCED DISEASE AND INADEQUATE IMMUNE RESPONSE TO VACCINES. Based on results of the vaccine response study, dogs receiving Zenrelia are at risk of fatal vaccine-induced disease from modified live virus vaccines and inadequate immune response to any vaccine. Discontinue Zenrelia for at least 28 days to 3 months prior to vaccination and withhold Zenrelia for at least 28 days after vaccination. Dogs should be up to date on vaccinations prior to starting Zenrelia. Do not use in dogs less than 12 months old or dogs with a serious infection. Dogs should be monitored for the development of infections because Zenrelia may increase the chances of developing an infection. Neoplastic conditions (benign and malignant) were observed during clinical studies. The most common side effects were vomiting, diarrhea and tiredness. Zenrelia has not been tested in dogs used for breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs and has not been evaluated in combination with glucocorticoids, cyclosporine, or other immune suppressive drugs.

Indications for Credelio Quattro

Credelio Quattro is indicated for the prevention of heartworm disease and the treatment and control of roundworm, hookworm, and tapeworm infections. Credelio Quattro kills adult fleas and is indicated for the treatment and prevention of flea infestations and the treatment and control of tick infestations for 1 month in dogs and puppies 8 weeks of age and older and weighing 3.3 pounds or greater.

Important Safety Information for Credelio Quattro

Lotilaner, an ingredient in Credelio Quattro, belongs to the isoxazoline class and has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions like tremors, ataxia, and seizures even in dogs without a history of seizures. Use with caution in dogs with a history of seizures or neurologic disorders. Dogs should be tested for existing heartworm infections before Credelio Quattro administration as it is not effective against adult D. immitis. The safe use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs has not been evaluated. The most frequently reported adverse reactions in clinical trials were vomiting and diarrhea. For complete safety information, please see the Credelio Quattro product label or ask your veterinarian.
