Did you know that nestled in scenic Warren County, New Jersey, lies a 2,727-acre area that serves as a vital water supply, a sanctuary for wildlife and a recreational escape – thanks in part to PSEG?

The Merrill Creek Reservoir is a 650-acre body of water surrounded by over 2,000 additional acres of preserved land. Constructed in 1988 by a coalition of seven electric utilities, including PSE&G, the reservoir was designed to replenish the Delaware River during low-flow conditions so that water could continue to be used for cooling power plants. The reservoir helps power plants maintain safe operations while also supporting regional water stability.

But its impact doesn’t end there.

Supporting biodiversity

Home to more than 380 wildlife species – many of them threatened or endangered – Merrill Creek has evolved into a vibrant habitat teeming with life. Open to the public, visitors can explore hiking trails, enjoy fishing or simply appreciate the natural beauty of the preserve.

Our support of the Merrill Creek Reservoir is part of our company’s focus on promoting and enhancing biodiversity while continuing to operate in a safe and reliable manner. We work with external partners through corporate investment and philanthropy to support the enhancement of important biodiversity areas and habitats.

The work at Merrill Creek Reservoir includes ongoing ecological forestry practices, which aim to create a varied age-class of forest that supports a diversity of wildlife species habitats. These practices include active forest conservation management, invasive species control and native plantings, with a long-term goal of facilitating the development of Old Growth Forest characteristics. Old Growth Forests feature plants of varying species and ages in minimally disturbed environments. These settings provide essential habitats for diverse species, store significant amounts of carbon, and play a key role in maintaining clean water and preserving soil quality. Efforts to improve forest quality are crucial for maintaining and enhancing biodiversity and ensuring the resilience of the reservoir’s ecosystem

An award-winning initiative

In December 2024, the reservoir earned the Governor’s Environmental Excellence Award in the “Healthy Ecosystems & Habitat” category. This honor from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection recognized the site’s groundbreaking restoration and conservation efforts.

The award-winning initiatives recognized by the NJDEP include:

• Restoration of 175 acres of native habitat.
• Forest stand (contiguous community of trees) improvement and native grassland management.
• Riparian plantings (plantings on waterways that prevent erosion and enhance water quality).
• Pollinator gardens to support essential species.
• Creative repurposing of invasive autumn olive shrubs to build fish habitats, offering refuge without relying on plastic materials.

A model for conservation

Merrill Creek Reservoir is an example of how conservation work and efficient operations can be mutually beneficial. Through close work with our partners, thoughtful stewardship of the preserve has created a thriving ecosystem, and we hope that the practices at the reservoir can serve as a model for other organizations and landowners.

We’re proud to be a part owner of the Merrill Creek Reservoir and of the hard work our team undertakes statewide to incorporate sound conservation practices into the work we do to deliver safe, reliable and affordable energy to our customers around New Jersey.

If you’re taking a GLP-1 hormone medication like Ozempic, Wegovy, Victoza, or Mounjaro (or a compounded version), you already know its positive effects. Decreasing your appetite, calming cravings, reducing “food noise,” and helping you feel full. Simply put, the medication makes it easier to lose weight because you’re not hungry very often. (Learn more here about how to eat well on GLP-1s.) Unfortunately, these medications are not without side effects, such as nausea and stomach discomfort. So is there an alternative—is it possible that eating certain foods can deliver similar benefits without the downsides?

What Does GLP-1 Do?

GLP-1 is an acronym that stands for Glucagon-Like Peptide-1. We all have the GLP-1 hormone in our bodies. It’s primarily produced in the intestines, pancreas, and hypothalamus area of the brain. And taking a GLP-1 medication increases the amount of the hormone in your body. 

GLP-1 levels naturally rise and fall in response to eating. When food enters the gastrointestinal system, GLP-1 releases as part of the body’s mechanism to help us moderate food intake. It’s a signal to tell us to slow down now that food has arrived on the scene. GLP-1’s combined effects help promote satiety, and include:  

• Slowing gastric emptying
• Decreasing food cravings and desire for alcohol
• Improving blood sugar control, especially for people with type-2 diabetes
• Reducing appetite

What Foods Help Increase the GLP-1 Hormone?

Studies suggest that certain types of foods can stimulate the release of GLP-1 and other appetite-regulating hormones. They are proven to help promote fullness and even potentially help with weight loss. And the use of food to support GLP-1 minimizes the potential adverse side effects that typically come with GLP-1 medications.

High-Fiber Foods

Many GLP-1-secreting cells are located toward the end of the intestines. Foods with ample fiber reach the lower intestine more readily than other foods because they don’t digest as quickly. Soluble fiber directly stimulates release of the GLP-1 hormone. And insoluble fiber can also help by supporting satiety and contributing to a healthy gut environment. All plant foods contain fiber—in general, the more fruits and veggies you eat, the better for your health overall. Good sources of soluble fiber include oats, beans, peas, barley, bananas, ground flax, nuts, and chia seeds.

Protein Foods

When we eat foods with protein, the digestion process breaks the proteins down into units called peptides and amino acids. Some peptides and amino acids trigger the release of GLP-1 in the intestines. Proteins take a while to digest, and therefore reach those GLP-1-secreting cells that are further along in the intestinal tract. Research also suggests that certain peptides help extend the biological activity of GLP-1, essentially keeping it around longer. Protein is already considered the most satiating of all the macronutrients and is often linked with weight loss. It also increases other satiety hormones in the body, so it’s a wise choice when you’re pursuing weight management.

Both animal protein and plant-based protein sources can impact GLP-1. Our advice: choose lean proteins such as eggs and egg whites, which show potential for positive effects in some studies. Low-fat dairy products are good options as well—they deliver protein, and their calcium can enhance GLP-1 too. And protein shakes, fish, and seafood are always good choices for lean protein. Among plant-based proteins, soy protein shows GLP-1-enhancing effects and there are many ways to incorporate soy protein into meals. Other plant-based protein-containing foods like nuts, pulses, beans, and certain grains are also a-ok, and have the advantage of providing fiber as well as protein. Overall though, it’s more about getting protein throughout the day—and less about exactly which foods provide it.  

Foods Rich in Monounsaturated Fats

Numerous studies indicate that monounsaturated fatty acids trigger GLP-1 release. Many of these studies tested with olive oil, but other oils are also good sources of this healthy fat. Avocado oil, safflower oil, canola oil, peanut oil, and sesame oil, to name a few. Plus, there are foods that contain monounsaturated fats. Almonds, hazelnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sesame seeds (as well as nut and seed butters made from them), and avocados. Whenever possible, use monounsaturated oils instead of less-healthy saturated fats to help boost GLP-1 levels and keep your heart happy.

For the past ten years, Cisco has been proud to partner with the Connected Conservation Foundation (CCF), combining technology and devoted field teams to make a real difference in wildlife conservation. This World Rhino Day, we pause to honor these incredible animals and reflect on our shared journey to help protect them and their homes.

A Partnership That Goes Beyond Technology

From Kenya to South Africa, Uganda to Zambia, we’ve equipped 46 protected areas with connectivity and tools needed to help monitor and protect rhinos, elephants, gorillas, pangolins, and so many other species. Together with CCF and local partners, Cisco has helped bring advanced technology to wildlife areas in 15 countries.

But this work is about more than just devices — it’s about empowering the people on the ground who care deeply for these animals and their ecosystems.

How Technology Makes a Difference

Cisco Meraki routers, servers, and LoRaWAN networks help track rhino, wildlife, and ranger movements, monitor weather and fence alarms, and even support more sustainable livestock grazing practices. All this data comes together in one place, giving conservation teams a clear, real-time picture of what’s happening so they can act quickly and plan for the future.

Sophie Maxwell, Executive Director of CCF, sums up the technology’s impact:“With real-time monitoring and the ability to track wildlife, patrols, and vehicles, rangers are empowered like never before to protect these iconic animals. We’re proud to help build a future where protected areas have the tools they need for rhinos to roam wild, free, and safe once again.”

Real Impact in the Field

By supporting a tech ecosystem for early warning and wildlife tracking, we’ve helped create safer parks. According to CCF, Sabi Sand Nature Reserve has remained poaching-free for over 700 days, and several reserves are now secure enough for rhino reintroduction. Parks, including the Mara-Serengeti, Tsavo and Loisaba, have fitted newly introduced rhinos with LoRaWAN trackers, transmitting real-time data to central operations and ranger teams. This continuous stream of insights supports health and behavior monitoring while guiding and strengthening protection strategies.

CCF reports that we’ve expanded LoRaWAN to 35 sites, including five new ones in 2024-25 across Tsavo, the Mara, Lewa, and more, creating a blueprint for conservation success. In Kenya, 17% of national parks are covered by Cisco’s LoRaWAN infrastructure, helping protect vast wilderness areas.

Building a Future for Conservation

We’re also investing in people. In July 2025, CCF and Cisco Networking Academy launched a free, global Protected Area Technician Training Program. This course, complete with sponsorships and internships, is designed to equip local community members with the skills to maintain and grow these vital technologies – helping to create new career paths and champions for conservation. Already, hundreds of learners are building tech skills for nature protection and earning course certificates.

Recognition and Hope

On this World Rhino Day, we celebrate not just the rhinos, but the people, technology, and partnerships working tirelessly to make their protection possible. Together, we’re building a future where wildlife and communities can thrive side by side.

NEW YORK, October 7, 2025 /3BL/ – In celebration of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month this October, Subaru of America, Inc., is joining the ASPCA^® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) in support of The Rescue Effect campaign to encourage the public to help animal shelters to find homes for the dogs in their care by adopting or fostering an animal. Launched on August 1 and continuing through the end of October, more than 600 shelters and rescues nationwide joined this lifesaving campaign to engage more adopters and reduce the time animals spend waiting for loving homes.

In addition, throughout October, as part of their Subaru Loves Pets^® initiative, more than 630 Subaru retailers will provide over $3.1 million in direct funding through grants administered by the ASPCA to their local animal shelters nationwide to help cover costs for adoption preparation, veterinary care and more. Many Subaru retailers across the country will host adoption, microchipping or other types of pet-focused events to help ensure that more animals in need can find loving homes in their communities.

Many shelters across the country are full with nearly six million dogs and cats entering shelters and rescues in 2024, and animals, especially dogs, are often staying longer in their care before being adopted. Choosing adoption helps the animal you take home while also freeing up space and resources so that shelters can help other animals in need. Animal shelters have pets of all sizes, ages, and an array of wonderful personalities, and if you aren’t able to adopt, temporarily fostering also provides lifesaving support.

“We’re grateful for Subaru’s unwavering commitment to animals in need, especially during Subaru Loves Pets,” said Christa Chadwick, vice president of shelter services for the ASPCA. “Subaru and its local retailers are helping bring the ASPCA’s Rescue Effect campaign to life by supporting shelters and improving the lives of animals in need across the country. Together, we’re creating a lifesaving impact that extends far beyond a single adoption.”

As part of The Rescue Effect campaign, the ASPCA provided $2 million in grant funding to more than 100 of the participating shelters to help waive adoption fees and support their operating costs, giving more animals a chance to find loving homes. The national campaign also includes video ads running on digital and social platforms in select markets across the country to raise awareness about the importance of animal adoption. The ASPCA is also providing an additional $2.5 million in grant funding to support qualifying proposals submitted by non-profit and municipal shelters to improve outcomes for animals and increase access to care.

For more information about the ASPCA’s Rescue Effect campaign and to find a participating shelter or rescue, visit aspca.org/therescueeffect. Join the conversation on social media by using #TheRescueEffect and tagging the ASPCA or spread the word with one of the ASPCA’s GIFs to encourage others to adopt a pet.

Three Points to Remember 

1. Leidos is sponsoring the 50th Marine Corps Marathon for the 10th consecutive year.
    
2. Our Executive Race Sponsor, Daryle Lademan, will be running her 30th marathon.
    
3. The marathon champions well-being while honoring the dedication and sacrifice of the U.S. Marine Corps.

For the 10th consecutive year, Leidos stands as a proud sponsor of the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM). This year, our Executive Race Sponsor, Daryle Lademan, will run her 30th marathon on the MCM route that begins at the Pentagon and finishes at the Marine Corps War Memorial. Rounding out the milestones, MCM – also known as “The People’s Marathon” – celebrates its 50th year as a world-class event that exemplifies endurance, purpose, and service.

The MCM brings together tens of thousands of runners and supporters to recognize the dedication and sacrifice of the U.S. Marine Corps. Since Leidos’ sponsorship began ten years ago, MCM has marked a number of extraordinary moments, and we can’t wait to see what history is made this year.

To run a marathon, you prepare for the long haul, stay focused when it gets tough, and trust the work you put in.

Daryle Lademan
SVP of Corporate Strategy and MCM Executive Race Sponsor

Leidos applauds all marathon participants as they embody what the marathon is all about: well-being, community, and the values of honor, courage, and commitment that the Marine Corps represents. We believe Lademan describes running a marathon well when she says, “…you prepare for the long haul, stay focused when it gets tough, and trust the work you put in.”

Joining Lademan in the marathon are nearly 400 Leidos employees, as well as their family members and friends. Participants range in age from 11 to 72 years old, and some will even run the race virtually in locations as far away as Melbourne, Australia.

We look forward to cheering on our runners and every participant in this historic 50th running of The People’s Marathon. And we are honored to be a part of this year’s race that champions well-being while recognizing the dedication and sacrifice of the U.S. Marine Corps.

Save the Children is a global charity operating in 115 countries. Founded after the First World War, it is committed to providing over 100 million children worldwide with vital resources from food and medical care to education. In recent years the organization has increasingly had to react to environmental disasters, as outlined in its ‘Born into the Climate Crisis’ report. For example, in late 2024 the charity’s Spanish arm, headquartered in Madrid, jumped into action after an extreme weather event caused dramatic flooding in the Valencia region, with 164,000 young people requiring assistance.

The charity relies on technology to provide the best care and support for children in need. It is also acutely aware that children born in 2020 will face up to seven times more heatwaves and extreme weather events than their grandparents. So, when Save the Children Spain was looking for a partner to support with a device refresh for its frontline workers, this indispensable charity needed to know that its commitment to environmental and social responsibility would be held as an uppermost priority, with device reuse and recycling utilized wherever possible. To make this possible, it turned to Lenovo.

“We are committed to equipping our frontline teams with the tools they need to support children, while doing so in the most sustainable way possible,” said a Save the Children spokesperson. “Our goal is to deliver impact today without compromising the world future generations will inherit. We use digital tools to help ensure every child’s right to survival, learning and protection. It was vital that we approached our technology refresh in a cost-effective and environmentally conscious way, ensuring that our workers have the right equipment to deliver for children in Spain and around the world.”

A circular approach

Given the nature of its work, the charity also needed to safely dispose of outdated devices – as it handles sensitive information – and required a solution with low operational overheads. With just 200 staff across the country and no dedicated IT support team, it was essential that the chosen approach included reliable, ongoing technical assistance to keep systems running smoothly.

John Stamer, Vice President & General Manager, Global Product Services at Lenovo says: “At Lenovo, we believe technology should not only drive innovation but also serve a greater purpose. We’re proud to support Save the Children Spain by providing affordable and more sustainable IT solutions that align with their climate goals while empowering their frontline teams to continue their vital work with vulnerable children. Through Lenovo services like Asset Recovery and CO2 Offset, we’re helping to reduce the environmental impact of their devices while making sure those doing the most important work have the tools they need to do so effectively.”

To manage the responsible disposal of its end-of-life IT equipment, Save the Children Spain selected Lenovo’s Asset Recovery Services (ARS). ARS provides secure, documented disposal of devices, regardless of brand, ensuring IT equipment can be recycled or reused wherever possible to minimize environmental impact.

In addition to supporting its environmental commitments, ARS enabled Save the Children to recover $7,000 in value from their existing devices, which was reinvested into the new technology deployment.

To align technology choices with its climate advocacy work, the charity further chose Lenovo CO2 Offset Services to offset the carbon footprint of its new hardware across the full lifecycle, from production and transportation to energy consumption, bolstering its broader climate advocacy goals. This choice reflected its commitment to responsible practices across all aspects of its operations, including how they are powered.

On the ground, where every minute matters, Lenovo deployed 200 Lenovo ThinkPad E16 laptops, delivering the performance frontline workers need to support children in Spain and beyond. To keep devices running smoothly and improve support efficiency, Save the Children Spain also opted for Premier Support Plus, giving its users direct access to expert technicians for fast, unscripted resolutions to both hardware and software issues. If a problem can’t be solved remotely, Lenovo provides on-site assistance by the next business day, ensuring smooth operations without pulling staff away from their core mission.

Premier Support Plus also includes Accidental Damage Protection (ADP), which is particularly relevant for devices used in the field, where they may be more susceptible to accidental drops or other physical damage. ADP and other features of Premier Support Plus, such as Sealed Battery Warranty Extension, help extend device usability and promote repair over replacement. This supports waste reduction, and CO2 offset credits are applied to all ADP

A Save the Children spokesperson said: “With Lenovo Premier Support Plus, we were able to provide our teams with always-on access to the digital resources they need.”

Making an impact

For Save the Children, the impact of partnering with Lenovo goes beyond logistics; it’s about aligning operational efficiency with its broader mission. Through a secure, cost-effective process for recycling and reusing end-of-life devices, the organization supports a more circular approach to IT while responsibly managing IT asset disposal, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability. More importantly, frontline staff are now equipped with reliable, high-performance tools to support children across Spain and strengthen their advocacy for those facing crisis around the world. In this way, Lenovo technology plays a practical role in helping the charity advance its mission.

A Save the Children spokesperson added: “Save the Children’s campaigns on climate change meant that it made sense to choose a solution which enabled us to support the circular economy. With Lenovo’s help, our staff are equipped not only with the devices they need, but with 24-hour support to help them deliver for sick, impoverished and hungry children across the world.”
