Former Patient’s Gift Is Music to Bone Marrow Recipients’ Ears

Originally published on Aflac Newsroom

Four years ago, Taylor Brown received a bone marrow transplant at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta as treatment for severe aplastic anemia. To honor the anniversary of her transplant, 16-year-old Taylor was deeply inspired to give back in a meaningful way, using her Make-a-Wish to donate a mobile music therapy cart to ensure even more patients get to experience the healing benefits of music therapy.

After her diagnosis, Taylor underwent four rounds of chemotherapy before finding a 100% match for a bone marrow transplant — her sister. So, in 2021, she received the transplant and spent several months in the bone marrow transplant unit.

“Being in the bone marrow transplant wing meant being totally quarantined, which was very isolating,” said Taylor. “The music therapy program was a source of strength and comfort for me during that time — that’s the power of music.”

Today, anyone walking the halls of this unit will likely hear the sounds of music being made by patients. Working with Make-A-Wish Georgia, Taylor recently presented a state-of-the-art instrument cart for the Bone Marrow Transplant Unit at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. The specially designed cart, called “Taylor’s Music Mover,” is equipped with high-quality instruments and recording technology, giving patients a unique opportunity to create music and record music videos.

The music therapy program at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center allows patients to experience the hope, joy and healing that music can bring. Music therapists use instruments to help children cope with anxiety, express emotions and connect with others.

The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center is a national leader among childhood cancer, hematology and blood and marrow transplant programs. Since 1995, Aflac agents, employees and The Aflac Foundation have given more than $191 million to help fund programs, like this one, that focus on research and care for childhood cancer and blood disorders.

Dynamic Infrastructure and Enso Geospatial International Partner to Deliver Underwater Erosion Intelligence for County Engineers and Asset Managers

NEW YORK, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Dynamic Infrastructure, a leader in implementing AI for civil infrastructure performance management, and Enso Geospatial International, a specialist in geospatial data acquisition and analytics, today announced a strategic cooperation to provide U.S. County engineers and asset managers with actionable insights on underwater erosion across coastlines, marine structures, reservoirs, and riverbanks.

The joint offering combines Enso Geospatial International’s multi-sensor data collection (e.g., bathymetric, drone, aerial, and other geospatial sources) with Dynamic Infrastructure’s Engineering AI™ to detect, quantify, and track hidden erosion and sedimentation risks that traditional inspections often overlook. The result is a clear, prioritized picture of where to act first, before minor issues become bigger, costly failures.

Making County Engineers More Knowledgeable
Shallow underwater erosion detection and trend analysis: AI-driven change detection highlights trends over time in scouring, channel migration, shoreline retreat, toe erosion, and embankment instability beneath the waterline.

Reservoir sedimentation monitoring: Volume changes and siltation hot spot identification helps plan dredging, preserve reservoir storage capacity, and safeguard water quality.

Riverbank and coastal risk scoring: Site-specific risk indices link observed change to likelihood and potential consequences, enabling teams to prioritize mitigation based on real impact, not guesswork.

Map-first workflows: Intuitive map layers and time sliders for visualized changes by asset, reach, or basin, ideal for briefings to commissioners, public works, and emergency management teams.

Post-storm intelligence: Rapid post-storm assessments, after hurricanes or extreme rain, help prioritize field crews and provide condition documentation for reimbursement and grants.

“County engineers are asked to do more with less resources, often across water assets where issues aren’t always visible,” said Saar Dickman, CEO of Dynamic Infrastructure. “By combining Enso’s high-quality geospatial capture with our Engineering AI, we surface the subsurface — turning underwater erosion into a clear, fundable maintenance plan.”

“Enso Geospatial International is excited to bring our advanced collection and processing capabilities into a workflow that directly supports public owners,” said Ben Laugomer, owner of Enso Geospatial International. “Together we deliver defensible, decision-ready information that stands up to engineering review, budgeting, and regulatory processes.”

Immediately Available, Built for Public Agencies

Ready to deploy for public agencies through Dynamic Infrastructure’s SaaS platform, the solution is designed to be procurement-friendly, with service packages scoped by shoreline miles, reservoir acreage, or river reach. It delivers defensible engineering-grade reports with full audit trails, and before/after evidence ready for stakeholder review. It also aligns with funding needs by generating documentation that supports and justifies resilience grants, hazard mitigation programs, and capital planning.

About Dynamic Infrastructure
Dynamic Infrastructure (diglobal.tech) provides Engineering AI™ services for civil infrastructure—turning visual and geospatial data into proactive maintenance actions across bridges, culverts, roads, shorelines, and more. The platform helps public agencies cut risk, avoid closures, and stretch limited budgets with evidence-based decisions.

About Enso Geospatial International
Enso Geospatial International delivers end-to-end geospatial data acquisition and analytics for stakeholders in natural and complex environments, including shallow water assets such as coastlines, rivers, estuaries, and reservoirs.

Helping Drive Outcomes Through Community Health Engagement

“It’s so important to know your numbers. As someone living with diabetes and other health conditions, I hadn’t had a kidney screening before, so I was really glad to get one for free today.”

Quote from DaVita community health event

Research shows that Americans only go to the doctor when they feel sick.
In fact, nearly two in three people have a reactive approach to their health, rather than a proactive one — making appointments only when something feels “extremely wrong.”[1] And in 2021, nearly 20% of adults hadn’t seen a doctor in the previous 5 years.[2]

Barriers such as lack of insurance, limited time or inadequate transportation, combined with the often-intimidating environment of traditional clinics, worsen health disparities and restrict access to care.

Community health events present a powerful response to systemic barriers in healthcare. By bringing essential screenings and health education directly into trusted community spaces, these initiatives enhance individuals’ comfort and confidence in managing their health[3]— ultimately supporting better health outcomes.[4]

“It’s important to have these kinds of things because people don’t always have access or make time to go to the doctor. But if you got this, at least it gives you something to take back to your primary care. I’m so glad DaVita is here doing this for us.”

Quote from DaVita community health event

Building on past successes, DaVita is launching this year’s Community Health Experience, a strategic, three-city initiative targeting Orlando, Houston, and Los Angeles.

These areas were identified as having significant barriers to healthcare access. In response, DaVita will host free health education sessions and no-cost screenings for diabetes, hypertension and kidney disease. These screenings are crucial for early detection, enabling timely interventions that can slow disease progression and reduce the burden of advanced chronic conditions, directly impacting clinical outcomes in chronic disease management.

The strength of these events lies in meeting people where they are — in familiar spaces. Even a single interaction can equip individuals with essential knowledge and resources, encouraging greater engagement in their health journey and supporting long-term improvements.

“When I saw the news story about free health screenings, I knew I had to bring my whole family. We lost our insurance and haven’t been able to see a doctor in over a year.”

Quote from DaVita community health event

The Community Health Experience kicks off on August 14 in Orlando. More information can be found at CommunityHealth.DaVita.com.

Legacy Beauty Brand Mary Kay Debuts Miss Conceptions, a Social Media Series Set To Modernize & Destigmatize

DALLAS, September 5, 2025 /3BL/ – Mary Kay Inc., a global beauty powerhouse with 60+ years of innovation, is furthering its mission of enriching the lives of women worldwide with the launch of Miss Conceptions. This bold new social media series leans into “real talk” to address longstanding myths about the brand with humor, authenticity, and cultural relevance. Through short-form, shareable content, Miss Conceptions introduces a fresh digital persona that empowers the next generation of beauty lovers and aspiring entrepreneurs while sharing facts about the company.

Crafted to resonate with Gen Z and Millennial consumers, Miss Conceptions brings “no filters, just facts” to TikTok, Instagram and beyond – debunking misconceptions like “Isn’t Mary Kay just for grandmas?” and “Is Mary Kay still around?” The series also reclaims the brand’s iconic status. From the pink Cadillac to its role in shaping countless women’s first beauty experiences, Mary Kay’s legacy extends far beyond products. Today, the company leverages its heritage to fuel forward-looking growth by modernizing its voice, embracing innovation, driving global social impact, and empowering women to define success on their own terms.

“Mary Kay has always been about more than makeup – it’s about changing women’s lives,” said Candie Rodriguez, Vice President, Marketing & Sales Support, Mary Kay. “For over six decades, we’ve been honored with global recognition for our innovation, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, but the most powerful legacy is the millions of women whose lives have been touched by Mary Kay. Through Miss Conceptions, we’re reintroducing ourselves to today’s consumer – while reminding the next generation that Mary Kay is a place where beauty and opportunity meet.”

At a time when consumers are not only beauty savvy but brand savvy – and constantly inundated with purchasing options and conflicting information – Miss Conceptions breaks through the clutter with a fresh voice that speaks directly and confidently. Mary Kay drew inspiration for the “Miss Conceptions” persona from today’s rising beauty consumers – playful trendsetters who thrive on creativity as well as ambitious, boundary-pushers. The character embodies this mix of energy: bold in her approach to beauty, authentic in her outlook, and confident in her pursuit of progress. By culminating these traits, Miss Conceptions reframes Mary Kay as a modern, social-driven path that resonates with the next generation of beauty lovers and entrepreneurs.

The launch of this series builds upon Mary Kay’s commitment to the next generation of brand loyalists and business owners, which includes:

  • Mary Kay® Skin Care: a customizable line for younger consumers who are not ready for age-defying products yet.
  • AI Foundation Finder: a first in direct selling industry, this intuitive technology is designed to help consumers effortlessly find their foundation match, while empowering Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants to guide their customers in finding the right match from their phones.
  • Brand Refresh: sleek new packaging that balances heritage with bold, modern design and commitments to product stewardship.

In 2024, nearly 30% of new Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants were under the age of 352, and today, 38% of the brand’s social following is made up of Next Gen audiences3. Miss Conceptions is designed to accelerate this momentum—further expanding reach, reshaping perceptions, and supporting the next wave of Mary Kay brand lovers.

The Miss Conceptions social media series begins this September on Mary Kay’s social platforms (@marykayus) and will run through December. Content will also extend beyond organic channels through paid placements across connected TV (Hulu/Disney+, Peacock, Max, Paramount, Discovery+) and digital out-of-home advertising, ensuring the message reaches Next Gen audiences wherever they are consuming content.

Pelagos Data Centres unveils ambitious plan for new 250MW facility near the Port of Gibraltar

GIBRALTAR, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A major data centre that will deliver up to 250 megawatts (MW) of capacity by 2033 is to be built in Gibraltar by Pelagos Data Centres.

Announced today at a launch event at the offices of the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, Hon. Fabian Picardo, the state-of-the-art facility is expected to attract investment of approximately £1.8 billion. The facility will be constructed in five phases at a 20,000 square meters site near the Port of Gibraltar. It is the largest current development project in the territory by value and among the largest in its history.

Mr. Fabian Picardo, Chief Minister of Gibraltar; Mr. Konstantin Sokolov, Chairman of Pelagos Data Centres; Mr. Christian J.A. Ryan, President for Gibraltar Operations, Pelagos Data Centres Project; Mr. James Levy KC, Senior Partner at Hassans International Law Firm. (PRNewsfoto/Pelagos Data Centres)

 

Funded entirely by private investment and backed by the Government of Gibraltar, the Pelagos Data Centres Project represents a transformative step for the territory’s digital and economic landscape. It will also make an important contribution to meeting Europe’s demand for data centre capacity, positioning Gibraltar as a significant new node in Europe’s digital infrastructure that can serve the broader needs of the UK and continental Europe. This comes at a pivotal moment, as AI’s rapid adoption across industries is reshaping digital infrastructure needs, creating significant demand for scalable, high-performance data centres capable of supporting complex and compute-intensive workloads.

The first stage of the project is scheduled to become operational in late 2027, with subsequent phases to follow at approximately 18-month intervals. The data centre will be powered independently of Gibraltar’s existing power grid and the site will feature a public leisure facility, providing a valuable amenity for the local community.

Mr. Konstantin Sokolov, Chairman of Pelagos Data Centres, said: “The scale of this project marks a new chapter for Gibraltar and for Europe’s digital capabilities. Just as electricity and the internet transformed society in the past, AI is now emerging as the defining technology of our time with the power to redefine entire industries, economies, and communities. With our new facility, Pelagos Data Centres is laying the foundation for the next era of AI-driven innovation, positioning Gibraltar as a strategic hub and enabling Europe’s brightest minds to unlock the full potential of this revolutionary technology.”

Chief Minister of Gibraltar Hon. Mr. Picardo said: “I am delighted that Pelagos Data Centres have decided that Gibraltar is the place to establish their first facility and that the whole community will benefit from their massive investment and its huge economic impact. I look forward to this project becoming a reality as soon as possible.”

The economic benefit to Gibraltar of the Pelagos Data Centres project is expected to be substantial. Up to 500 jobs will be created during construction of the centre, with around 100 permanent positions upon its completion. The company currently employs 50 full-time staff in London and Gibraltar, with plans to hire and train local staff extensively for operational roles. The project will also stimulate demand for local services, support the growth of Gibraltar’s digital and technology sectors and enhance the territory’s and the wider region’s attractiveness as a destination for international business and investment.

The facility is the first to be developed by Pelagos Data Centres and will be built to Tier III standards as defined by the independent Uptime Institute organisation, ensuring high availability and reliability. It will be carrier-neutral, offer services to both public and private sector clients, and will pursue leading international certifications for information security, quality management, environmental sustainability, and energy management. It intends to achieve a Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of approximately 1.2 or better, reflecting a commitment to high energy efficiency.

Sustainability is central to the Pelagos Data Centres project. From day one, the facilities are expected to be powered by a combination of renewable energy and liquefied natural gas (LNG), with a goal of achieving net-zero operational emissions by 2030. Advanced air and liquid cooling systems will be used to minimise water usage, and the company is in talks about initiatives to recover or repurpose heat from the data centre for use by community projects in Gibraltar.

Emphasising the importance of the project the Minister for Economic Development and Inward Investment, the Hon. Sir Joe Bossano, said: “This is the most significant infrastructure investment in Gibraltar since the early 1990s, when the GSLP Government brought state-of-the-art telecommunications as inward investment from the United States and made possible the creation of a centre for online services. Then, we future-proofed Gibraltar’s economy. Today, we are doing so again.

“The technology of the future – on which every advanced economy will depend – will be Artificial Intelligence. AI requires data, processing power, and energy resources on a scale never before seen. The Ministry for Economic Development will put all its resources at the service of this initiative to ensure that it is delivered in the shortest possible time. In this field, speed of delivery is everything. Gibraltar should be the fastest jurisdiction on the planet when it comes to delivery.”

Joining Mr. Picardo, Mr. Sokolov and Sir Joe Bossano at the official launch event was Mr. Christian J.A Ryan, President for Gibraltar Operations for the Pelagos Data Centres Project; and Mr. James Levy KC and Mr. Tony Provasoli, senior partners at Hassans International Law Firm.

A further technical briefing and press conference will be arranged for the first quarter of 2026, in line with the estimated start date for construction of this project. This will provide further information about the engineering, design, and implementation phases.

About Pelagos Data Centres

Pelagos Data Centres combines advanced engineering, modular scalability and environmental responsibility to help meet the demands of today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape. With offices in London and Gibraltar, it currently employs around 50 staff.
