GARNER, N.C., Nov. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Butterball, the best known and most loved* brand of turkey in the U.S., today announced a partnership with StoryCorps Studios, the brand storytelling division of StoryCorps, the national nonprofit that records and preserves at the Library of Congress conversations between everyday Americans.

According to the Butterball Togetherness Report: 2024 Thanksgiving Outlook, when looking ahead to Thanksgiving, consumers are excited about spending time with family (70%), enjoying the food (57%) and relaxing (46%). However, they’re feeling most anxious about discussing current events or politics (67%) – even worse than cost (57%) or travel (49%).**

Beginning today, in an effort to foster togetherness through positive connection this holiday, consumers are encouraged to visit storycorps.org/nationalthanksgivingarchive and record a conversation with a loved one.

“For all the incredible ways Thanksgiving traditionally brings people together, we recognize it’s been a tough year,” said Christa Leupen, director of purpose at Butterball. “That’s why we saw a unique opportunity to partner with StoryCorps Studios to create this archive – to remind us of the conversations, memories and traditions that can bring us together, even if we’ve never felt further apart. It’s another example of Butterball’s commitment to helping people pass love on.” 

Everyone who participates will have the option to submit their recording to the StoryCorps collection in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress—the largest single collection of human voices ever gathered. The website features instructions, helpful recording tips, and timely conversation prompts.

“As a time for being with family and friends, and for counting our blessings, Thanksgiving is a perfect time to show loved ones how much they mean to us by recording a conversation together and preserving it for posterity in the Library of Congress,” said Caitlin Moses-Bowser, managing director of StoryCorps Studios. “StoryCorps Studios is excited to collaborate with Butterball to help people across the country find connection while preserving their treasured family traditions and memories this holiday season.”

Later this month, the stories submitted to the National Thanksgiving Archive will be unveiled on Butterball and StoryCorps social media platforms, just in time to remind us of the joys of gathering with friends and family.

RIVERSIDE, S.C., Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Real Relax , a top online massage chair brand, is committed to offering consumers high-quality, comfortable massage products designed to relieve physical fatigue. With the holiday season approaching, Real Relax has launched its Black Friday event, providing a unique opportunity for consumers in the United States to experience the brand’s innovative products and truly relax. The event will continue through the end of November.

 

Since its inception, Real Relax has been dedicated to innovation, quickly expanding its presence to over 40 countries, including the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and various regions across Europe and Southeast Asia. The brand’s direct-to-consumer sales model allows customers to enjoy competitive pricing by eliminating the markups usually added by retailers and distributors. For example, while a massage chair with similar features might cost over $5,000 in a physical store, Real Relax offers it for just over $1,000.

This Black Friday, Real Relax is offering a range of massage chairs to American consumers, with items shipped directly from within the United States, making them the perfect holiday gift.

Take the PS5200 4D Massage Chair, for example. This product offers a 4D massage mechanism for a multidimensional experience. Its motor extends rollers 1.1-2.5 inches for a deep Shiatsu and Thai-style massage. With smart muscle fatigue monitoring, it adjusts across five intensity levels, targeting seven body areas, three roller widths, and six massage techniques for a personalized massage. The PS5200 includes 20 auto programs to meet the different needs of customers and a SL-Track system that follows body curves from neck to thighs. Such ergonomic 4D massage mechanism and SL track enhance massage coverage by 50% over standard chairs. Full-body airbags and precision rollers provide targeted relief.

Originally priced at $7,999.99, the PS5200 is available for $2,999.99 during Black Friday, offering a 63% discount.

Another featured product is the Favor-06 3D Massage Chair. In addition to the SL-Track system, full-body airbag massage, zero gravity, and Thai stretch massage, its 3D massage mechanism fits the user’s body curves perfectly and delivers a comprehensive and intelligent massage, easing tension in the shoulders, spine, lumbar region, and gluteal muscles. With precise body scanning, the system identifies key areas of the neck and back, ensuring optimal pressure throughout the massage. Far-infrared technology enhances blood flow just beneath the skin, reducing muscle fatigue and poor circulation associated with prolonged sitting. It aids in treating lumbar disc herniation, waist and leg pain, and cervical spondylosis. Originally priced at $3,999.99, the Favor-06 is available for $1,699.99 during Black Friday, offering a 58% discount.

In addition to the opportunity to own a massage chair at more than 50% off, consumers can also purchase a select range of products for under $1,500 during Black Friday.

Sungrow Partners with Zenith Energy to Power Australia’s Largest Off-Grid Hybrid Project for Mining Operations at Kathleen Valley

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Nov. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, a global leading PV inverter and energy storage system provider, is proud to announce its pivotal role in the Kathleen Valley Operation, Australia’s largest off-grid hybrid renewable energy system. Developed in collaboration with Zenith Energy and Liontown Resources, this landmark initiative sets a new precedent for integrating renewable energy solutions in the mining sector, driving sustainable practices, and reducing environmental impacts in one of Australia’s most significant industries.

Australia’s mining sector continues to play a vital role in the economy, contributing 10-11% to the nation’s GDP and generating a record $455 billion in export revenue in 2022-23, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Kathleen Valley, located in a remote region of Western Australia, is far from an established power infrastructure but rich in abundant mining resources, utilizing off-grid energy solutions essential for reliable and continuous mining operations. The renewable off-grid solution will reduce reliance on costly and polluting diesel fuel, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and cut energy costs. As Australia moves toward sustainable practices, it also helps mining companies comply with stricter environmental regulations and enhance the overall sustainability of their operations.

This project features an advanced hybrid power system that integrates 17 MW / 20 MWh of battery storage, 17 MW of solar energy, and 30 MW of wind power. Additionally, the system includes 32 MW of thermal generation, comprising 27 MW of gas and 5 MW of diesel. The project applied Sungrow’s SG350HX string inverter, SC4000UD-MV power conversion system, and ST2236UX PowerTitan liquid cooling energy storage system to provide a highly efficient renewable energy solution, supporting sustainability and energy optimization for mining operations. These advanced systems have powered the entire site on 100% renewables continuously for three and a half days since being commissioned on 30 June this year. The system design will enable delivery of up to an 80% renewable energy fraction over the course of a year significantly reducing its carbon footprint and setting new benchmarks for environmentally responsible mining.

The country director of Sungrow Australia, Joe Zhou, said, “We are proud to collaborate with Zenith Energy and Liontown Resources on this transformative project. By integrating advanced renewable solutions, we are driving the mining industry’s energy transition and demonstrating the power of sustainable innovation in one of Australia’s key economic sectors.”

Sungrow, Zenith Energy, and Liontown Resources are leading the charge in transforming Australia’s mining industry by integrating renewable energy systems into mining operations. As Australia works towards achieving its net-zero goals by 2050, this project serves as a benchmark for integrating renewables into traditionally hard-to-decarbonize sectors like mining. Looking ahead, Sungrow is committed to delivering innovative and sustainable solutions across diverse industries.

About Zenith Energy

Zenith Energy is one of Australia’s foremost Independent Power Producers, with a contracted and in-development portfolio exceeding 710 MW. Dedicated to supporting clients on their journey to net-zero, Zenith combines thermal and renewable fuel sources with innovative technology to deliver cost-effective, reliable power solutions. Offering a full-service Build–Own–Operate model, Zenith Energy specializes in customized microgrids for remote off-grid sites and grid-connected precincts. This unique approach positions Zenith as a leader in integrating sustainable energy with innovative systems to meet the demands of Australia’s evolving energy landscape.
