REVA PROJECTS LLC Offers Hope with Temporary Housing Units

Posted on September 30, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

RED BANK, N.J., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — When disaster strikes, REVA PROJECTS LLC offers more than just shelter; it offers dignity, safety, and hope. Inspired by personal challenges, founder Mariya Reva-Tamburrino turned crisis into purpose, designing innovative, rapidly deployable shelters that prioritize people’s needs – and their humanity.

REVA PROJECTS LLC provides temporary shelters for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Reva shelters are designed to address homelessness, refugee crises, extreme weather occurrences, and other emergency situations.

“The concept was born in 2012 after Superstorm Sandy when my parents were stuck in an apartment building in Brooklyn, New York for a week,” said Reva-Tamburrino. “They had no heat, no power, and were sharing food with their neighbors. They could not evacuate because they had pets, and other neighbors had medical conditions that would have made it impossible to live in a group housing setting. That’s when the idea clicked of building shelters that ensure privacy and personal needs are met in times of emergency.”

The REVA PROJECTS team designed modules that can be installed as individual lodgings or combined into multiple-unit dwellings. Each structure was carefully planned to allow assembly by two people in under three hours. The Reva Cold Shelter, designed by Max Borshchevskiy for REVA PROJECTS, is the company’s inaugural product.

“The modules can be assembled with gloves on in arctic settings,” Borshchevskiy said. “The applied aluminum grade ensures the frame remains durable yet lightweight. The material is recyclable, temperature- and corrosion-resistant, radiation-protected, and easy to clean. The front door of the structure can even be used as an emergency floatation device in case of a flood. We’re proud to say all materials used are sustainably sourced from NATO countries.”

The structure can endure temperatures as low as -22 degrees F/-30 degrees C. The sloped roof is aerodynamically shaped to withstand winds up to 180 mph/290 kph and to shed heavy snow loads. This design maximizes headroom inside the shelter, allowing for bunk beds to be placed along the south wall, where maximum natural light and heat are expected.

The top of the Reva Cold Shelter is shielded by marine-grade PVC vinyl. The soft cover also features waterproof zippers.

In extreme cold and high-altitude climates, the structure must be elevated and secured against winds. There are four footing options: rock, sand, mud/clay, and ice. Reva shelters can be deployed using any international power grid or generator and are capable of off-grid use. The Reva Cold Shelter supports add-on heating and air conditioning units and is operated by a power load center of 35 amps or more. Solar panels and battery systems are also available for sustainable off-grid power. Shelters feature interior LED lighting, which illuminates interior areas, while the reflective exterior offers visibility from evacuation vehicles.

The standard three-module configuration fits six people, has a 165-square-foot/15.329-square-meter interior, and weighs 1,940lb/880kg. REVA PROJECTS LLC developed a system that enables the frame to be flat-packed to fit within common shipping container sizes.

REVA PROJECTS LLC is a woman-owned international design studio and manufacturer of transitional architecture structures and emergency shelters, including the revolutionary Reva Cold Shelter, a customizable housing unit that adapts to the diverse requirements of those who need it most. Traditional disaster relief and temporary shelters often overlook the unique challenges of individuals in crisis. Many require space for pets, medical care, or mental health support – needs that demand privacy and adaptability. REVA PROJECTS LLC addresses these needs with a sustainable, environmentally conscious approach. The Reva Cold Shelter is built on cutting-edge design principles for enhanced thermal efficiency and structural integrity in arctic conditions. To learn more, visit RevaProjectsLLC.com.

Leading With Heart: Gen Expands Global Giving and Volunteering

Posted on September 30, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

Gen Blog | Impact

By Kimberly Bishop, Corporate Responsibility

Last year, more than 67% of our team members participated in our volunteering and giving programs, logging 8,300 hours globally for the causes that matter to them. This showcases just how much Team Gen values giving in our communities. As we challenge ourselves to expand our programs, we listened to employee feedback to make community service easier and more personal to local needs.

We’re excited to introduce Passion to Purpose, the newest addition to our suite of volunteering and giving opportunities. This program allows employees all over the world to apply for Gen grants, which go to a nonprofit of their choice, and organize volunteer projects using the company’s reach and resources.

Together with our ongoing mentorship programs, which help employees put their skills and expertise to use in service to others; Passion to Purpose helps employees lead with heart, take bold action and drive lasting impact.

Passion to purpose drives global impact

In its first few weeks, Passion to Purpose has inspired employees to organize projects based on local needs. At our office in Chennai, India, our team members partnered with GiftAbled to host a workshop on creating an inclusive environment for people with disabilities. More than 30 employees attended the session, which also included an Indian Sign Language training.

Additionally, our MoneyLion office in Kuala Lumpur planned a hands-on volunteer experience to support indigenous communities and other community members in Peninsular Malaysia. The team partnered with local organization EPIC (Extraordinary People Impacting Communities), bringing together 70 employees for a two-day interactive workshop called The Good Builder.

Guided by experts, the MoneyLion team were trained to use various hand and power tools. This training enabled them to assemble 32 chairs, 32 tables, and six bookshelves for students at the Subang Bestari 2 National School, fulfilling a critical need for safe, sturdy classroom furniture. The training also certifies MoneyLion volunteers for future builds with EPIC Homes, a program that provides indigenous communities in Malaysia with safe homes that can be built in just three days.

Gen supported both events through grant funding and paid time off for team members to volunteer.

Cyber skills for the next generation

Through Passion to Purpose, Gen team members are also taking advantage of multiple opportunities to use their skills to volunteer, often in the form of mentorship programs to support students and emerging tech professionals.

Through our partnership with HBCU Heroes, Gen volunteers meet quarterly with students attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) that are about to enter the workforce. The most recent session focused on mapping out students’ desired career journeys, and the final session will include mock interviews and prep for job hunting as students embark on their professional lives.

In addition, we hosted a reverse mentoring session with GirlBoss New Zealand. Gen provided full scholarships to 31 students, allowing them to attend the organization’s 10-day school holiday program. Through the program, young women were provided with a mentor and growth opportunities to build their confidence and leadership skills. We have also teamed up with #LatinaGeeks for workshops during National Hispanic Heritage Month to help Latinas build confidence and sharpen their professional communication and public speaking skills.

These efforts complement our signature partnerships with Women4Cyber and Czechitas to close the cybersecurity talent gap. Through a year-round mentorship program with Women4Cyber and a six-month studying and mentorship intensive with Czechitas, Gen employees work directly with women in Europe, providing them with the tools needed to enter the IT industry.

For more on how Gen team members make a difference in their communities, visit our 2025 Social Impact Report.

These grants were awarded from the Gen Foundation, a corporate advised fund of Silicon Valley Community Foundation.

Medtronic Joins U.N. Call to Action Against High Blood Pressure

Posted on September 30, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

The United Nations (U.N.) called on member nations to commit “with the utmost urgency” to an ambitious goal of fast-tracking progress in fighting mental health issues and non-communicable diseases (NCDs), particularly high blood pressure—the largest risk factor for premature death in the world.

“We therefore commit, with the utmost urgency, to preventing and scaling up effective treatment of hypertension so that 150 million more people have hypertension under control by 2030,” the U.N. said in its declaration.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular deaths, including stroke, heart attack, sudden death, heart failure, and end-stage renal disease.¹ And the problem is rapidly worsening. Globally, 1.3 billion adults are living with hypertension, double the number since 1990. And only 1 in 5 (about 260 million) have it under control, according to the U.N.

“Current approaches to hypertension control are not enough,” said Jason Weidman, Senior Vice President and President, Coronary & Renal Denervation, at Medtronic. “But a new and promising field is emerging. One in which technological advancements can be harnessed for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension, offering new hope to patients managing this global health challenge.”

Weidman joined a U.N. panel discussion focused on the need for action and how recently developed medical technology might help reach the U.N. goals.

For decades, medication and lifestyle changes were the only treatments for high blood pressure. But in November of 2023, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the first-ever medical device procedures to treat high blood pressure. The Medtronic therapy is know as the Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation procedure. See how it works.

“Medications and lifestyle changes were an effective approach for many but left a significant number of patients at elevated risk due to challenges with long-term medication adherence,” Dr. Taisei Kobayashi, Interventional Cardiologist at the University of Pennsylvania, told the U.N. panel. “The Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system — a one-time, minimally invasive procedure — can help patients with uncontrolled hypertension reduce their blood pressure.”*

The Medtronic Symplicity Spyral™ renal denervation procedure delivers radio frequency energy to nerves near the kidneys that can become overactive and contribute to high blood pressure. It’s now approved for commercial use in more than 75 countries around the world. See how the Symplicity blood pressure procedure helped Paul Griffin.

“We stand ready to integrate our renal denervation technology into both public and private healthcare systems,” Weidman said. “We’re prepared to partner at every level of care. Let us seize this opportunity to transform the landscape of NCDs, harness the power of innovation, and improve the health of generations to come.”

The U.N. declaration came at the Fourth High-level Meeting of the UN General Assembly on the prevention and control of NCDs and the promotion of mental health and well-being on Sept. 25. In addition to high blood pressure, the declaration also set worldwide goals of making access to mental health care available to 150 million more people by 2030, and reducing the number of people using tobacco, also by 150 million before 2030.

Ukrainian Mother of Five Survives Postpartum Hemorrhage Thanks to Abdominal Tourniquet by Compression Works

Posted on September 30, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine, Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a remarkable case that underscores both clinical ingenuity and the global urgency of maternal health, Ukrainian physicians turned to a battlefield bleeding control intervention in a last-ditch effort to save a young mother experiencing severe postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). The case marks the first documented use of the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet – Stabilized (AAJT-S) to manage uncontrolled bleeding after childbirth — with life-saving results.

Olya, a mother of five, had just completed what appeared to be a fast, routine labor when she suddenly began to bleed uncontrollably. Standard interventions, including uterotonics such as Pitocin, failed to stop the hemorrhage. Facing a rapidly deteriorating situation, Dr. Yevheniia Poliakova made the decision to use the AAJT-S.

Dr. Yevheniia Poliakova, the attending physician, had previously studied advanced hemorrhage control tools used in military medicine, including the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet – Stabilized (AAJT-S) — an FDA-cleared device indicated to control difficult-to-manage bleeding in the abdomen, pelvis, inguinal region, and axilla.

“She was one of four patients in our feasibility study using the AAJT to treat postpartum hemorrhage, and her bleeding completely stopped following the application of the device,” said Dr. Yevheniia Poliakova. “It gave us the time we needed to stabilize her and begin surgical intervention. We have since gone on to use the AAJT in four additional patients, bringing our total to eight — with 100% success and no complications.”

Olya remembers only fragments of the day — but enough to understand just how close she came to losing her life.

“This was my fifth delivery. I have five wonderful children, all delivered by Dr. Yevheniia,” Olya said. “Everything went very well, but very quickly — just around two hours. When the baby was already in my arms, I felt okay. But then, something started to feel wrong. Doctors kept checking on me. Then I started to feel… not very good. They gave me medicine and said, ‘Don’t worry, you will sleep now. Everything will be fine.”

“
The next thing I remember, I woke up in the hospital. I was alive. My baby was there. I don’t know how the device works. But I believe, thanks to it — and thanks to my doctor — I’m here. I’m alive for my children.”

A Global First in Postpartum Hemorrhage Care

The initiative was led by Dr. Viktor Oshovskyy, whose foresight enabled exploration of trauma technology in obstetric emergencies. To date, eight patients with severe postpartum hemorrhage have been treated using the AAJT-S at the facility — with 100% survival and no complications reported.

This case marks the first documented use of the AAJT-S in a postpartum hemorrhage setting — and adds to the more than 70 peer-reviewed studies and growing clinical evidence supporting its use in managing life-threatening hemorrhage.

Originally developed for battlefield trauma, the AAJT-S is the only device FDA-cleared to occlude blood flow in the abdominal aorta — enabling rapid hemorrhage control when standard interventions fail. While not yet indicated for obstetric use, this case study offers a compelling look at how trauma-informed technologies may help address one of the leading causes of maternal death worldwide.

“Dr. Poliakova acted with courage and clarity in an environment where maternal hemorrhage claims lives far too often,” said Scott Dodson, CEO of Compression Works. “What she did — and what her patient survived — matters deeply in this moment of global maternal health crisis.”

A Call for Global Attention

Globally, postpartum hemorrhage affects more than 14 million women each year and is responsible for approximately 70,000 maternal deaths — accounting for over 20% of all maternal mortality worldwide. Maternal mortality from hemorrhage remains a devastating challenge — particularly in resource-limited settings across Eastern Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. From Ukraine to Uganda, emergency obstetric care teams continue to seek better tools, faster responses, and more adaptable treatment options.

This case study points to the urgent need for adaptive technologies that can be deployed rapidly in both hospital and prehospital environments.

About the AAJT-S

The Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet – Stabilized (AAJT-S) is an FDA-cleared and CE-marked hemorrhage control device designed to occlude blood flow in the abdomen, pelvis, inguinal region, and axilla. It is the only device of its kind capable of achieving aortic occlusion outside the operating room. The AAJT-S is currently used across military, prehospital, and hospital settings around the world.

Debt.com Survey Reveals Credit Card Debt Driving More Divorces Than Ever

Posted on September 30, 2025 by sHq_LoGiNz

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Credit card debt is increasingly being blamed for the breakdown of marriages, according to Debt.com’s fourth-annual Debt and Divorce survey. This year, 42% of divorced Americans said credit card debt and spending contributed to their split—a sharp rise from 34% last year and 29% in 2023.

The survey revealed that younger generations are especially vulnerable. Gen Z respondents were the most likely to cite credit card debt as a factor in their divorce, with nearly two-thirds pointing to it. Millennials followed closely, while Gen X and Baby Boomers reported lower, but still significant rates.

“Couples will talk about everything from where to live to how many kids to have—but too many still avoid talking about money,” said Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Chairman of Debt.com. “When credit card debt goes unaddressed, it doesn’t just strain a budget—it strains a marriage. Our survey shows younger generations are paying the highest price for staying silent.”

Despite the growing financial strain, nearly two-thirds of respondents admitted they never sought professional help before filing for divorce. That includes financial planners, nonprofit credit counseling agencies, or debt settlement companies.

Financial Infidelity Is Widespread

Financial secrecy also played a major role. More than one-third of respondents said they or their spouse hid credit card debt during their marriage. Gen Z again led the way, with over half admitting to hiding debt. And for the first time, the survey asked whether hiding credit card debt should be grounds for divorce—38% said yes.

“Credit card debt has quietly become one of the leading homewreckers in America,” Dvorkin added. “It’s not just the balances, it’s the secrecy, the stress, and the silence. Until couples treat debt like the life-changing issue it is, we’ll keep seeing love lost to late fees.”

The emotional toll of financial dishonesty is clear. Nearly 70% of respondents agreed that hiding credit card debt constitutes “financial infidelity.” Yet despite these strong feelings, most couples didn’t seek help. Only a small fraction enrolled in debt management programs or consulted financial professionals.

Divorce Takes A Toll

The aftermath of divorce often brought more financial hardship. Over half of respondents said they took on new debt after their split, with 26% taking on five-figure balances over $10,000. Many also saw their credit scores drop—some by more than 50 points.

Income changes were common as well. Nearly one-third said their household income decreased by more than 25% within a year of their divorce. Others saw increases, but the financial instability was widespread.

When asked whether they recovered faster emotionally or financially, 27% said they handled the financial aspect more quickly. Still, a 20% reported they’re still recovering—either emotionally or financially.

Debt.com’s survey paints a sobering picture: credit card debt isn’t just a financial issue—it’s a relationship killer. And while the numbers continue to rise, the lack of professional intervention suggests many couples are struggling in silence.
