Here are more details from their press release: (PRESS RELEASE)_TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Tel Aviv University and The Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at Shamir Medical Center announced today that, for the first time in humans, two key biological hallmarks of aging, telomere length shortening and accumulation of senescent cells, can be reversed, according to a new study. Using a specific protocol of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), telomere length was significantly increased and senescent cells were reduced in a population of healthy aging subjects. The study, part of a comprehensive research program targeting aging as a reversible disease, is to be published in the peer-review journal Aging, and titled: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Increases Telomere Length and Decreases Immunosenescence in Isolated Blood Cells: A Prospective Trial. The biological deterioration of aging is cited as a major risk factor for cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, dementia and Alzheimer's disease. At the cellular level, two key hallmarks of the aging process are: The shortening of telomere length, of approximately 20-40 bases per year, which is associated with a variety of serious life-threatening illnesses; and The accumulation of senescent cells, the so-called "old malfunctioning cells," which inhibit cell proliferation. The accumulation of senescence contributes to many age-associated conditions and illnesses, while elimination of those cells can reverse them, as shown in previous animal studies. (PRESS RELEASE)_PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL – The past 12 months will go down as one of the most difficult stretches in the history of the restaurant industry. But staff members at one local restaurant are benefitting thanks to #RestaurantChallenge. The campaign launched by the Certified Angus Beef ® brand is aimed at getting customers back to dining with restaurants – whether that's dining in, or getting to-go orders – and driving dollars back into the industry at a time when it’s needed most. On April 13, the staff at III Forks, 4645 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens, received a $2,500 “big tip” given to two restaurants across the country each week as part of #RestaurantChallenge. Each III Forks staff member was presented with a $100 gift card. “We’re honored to win this incredible award. It’s been a very tough year and I’m proud of how my staff and our customers rallied through it,” says Tommy Nevill, proprietor and general manager of III Forks. “Providing the best service to the community is our main focus.” The social media campaign spurs consumers to use the hashtag #RestaurantChallenge on Instagram and Facebook when posting their dining experiences. Each post enters them into a drawing for one of many $100 gift cards being awarded each week. By tagging the restaurant where they’re dining, they also enter that restaurant’s staff into a drawing for one of the $2,500 prizes that will be shared among the team. “Restaurants play such an important role in our society,” says Deanna Walenciak, Certified Angus Beef® vice president of marketing. “They’re places where we celebrate some of the most important moments of our lives. We encourage everyone to go out and support their favorite restaurants, and please use the hashtag, so they can win and can continue to go back out and support these wonderful places.” JOIN THE CHALLENGE There’s lots of ways to get involved, but what’s most important is supporting your favorite restaurant. Pick what works best for you.

AWARD FINALISTS: From left: Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island and Rosemary Square (PRESS RELEASE)_WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (April 12, 2021) – Discover The Palm Beaches, the official tourism marketing agency for Palm Beach County, announced today the start of the online public voting process to select the recipient of the esteemed 29th Providencia Award. The award is given to a local business, organization or individual who has demonstrated an extraordinary contribution to the vitality and prosperity of The Palm Beaches as a desirable tourist destination.
As part of the selection process, the community is invited to cast their vote for the winner of the Providencia Award beginning April 12, 2021 through April 26, 2021 by 11:59 p.m. through this link: https://palmbeachpost.gannettcontests.com/29th-Providencia-Awards/. This year’s three finalists are: Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island and Rosemary Square. “The Providencia Award has become a time-honored tradition and way to celebrate outstanding entities or individual contributors in our local tourism community,” said Jorge Pesquera, president and CEO for Discover The Palm Beaches. “Our diverse destination of eclectic attractions, accommodations and community retailers shine through in this year’s nominees, representing a leading marine life and ocean conservation center, a luxury resort and refreshed park-like mixed-due entertainment neighborhood. We’re humbled to have these industry partners as key elements of what makes The Palm Beaches an ideal place to visit, work and live.

Its crew salvaged the cargo of 20,000 Trinidad coconuts and sold them to local residents, who planted them along the waterfront, eventually inspiring the town's name.
