(BPT) – Kennedy was a vibrant, healthy two-year-old until she developed a fever and tested positive for influenza (flu). As busy first-time parents, Kennedy’s parents didn’t realize that because her last wellness checkup fell outside flu season, they missed flu vaccination for her that year.

“Little did we know this critical misstep would change our lives forever,” said Kennedy’s mom, Megan Parks.

Initially, Kennedy’s pediatrician recommended rest, and for her parents to watch for signs of breathing problems. After three days, she did not improve, and her lips started turning blue. Alarmed, Kennedy’s parents rushed her to the hospital.

“I kept a close, constant watch on Kennedy in my rearview mirror,” Megan recalled. “The last time I looked up to check on her, she was no longer responding.” Kennedy’s mom pulled over to call 9-1-1.

“That day, we lost our beautiful Kennedy to the flu,” Megan said. “We simply didn’t realize that when a child receives a flu vaccination, it can significantly help reduce their chances of hospitalization or death. Unfortunately, we found out too late.”

The Parks family turned tragedy into advocacy and is now focused on spreading awareness about the potential seriousness of the flu, urging families to get yearly vaccinations for everyone six months of age and older.

Severe flu season

The Parks are one of many families who have lost loved ones to the flu. The 2024-2025 flu season was among the most severe in U.S. history, with record-breaking pediatric deaths and overwhelming levels of illness and hospitalization.[1] The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there were at least 43 million flu illnesses, 560,000 flu hospitalizations, and 38,000 flu deaths last season. Children were hit especially hard, with 287 confirmed flu-associated pediatric deaths.[2] Nearly 90% of those deaths were children who were eligible for the flu vaccine but were not vaccinated.[3]

Flu is a serious illness

The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by viruses that infect the nose, throat, and sometimes the lungs.[4] Flu season is the time of year that flu viruses most commonly circulate in the population, typically between October through May, and peaking between December and February.[5]

Although most people who get the flu recover in a few days to under two weeks, sometimes the flu can lead to complications (like pneumonia) and death.[6] While the flu may impact each person differently, symptoms can appear suddenly and include fever (or feeling feverish and chills), cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle or body aches, headaches, and fatigue. Vomiting and diarrhea are more common in children.

Who is at risk for the flu

The harsh reality is, anyone can get sick from the flu, even people who are or feel healthy, and serious flu-related problems can impact people of any age, race, or gender.[7] However, some people are at higher risk of developing serious flu-related complications if they get sick, including people 65 and older, people with certain chronic health conditions (like asthma, diabetes, obesity, or heart disease), pregnant women, and young children.[7]

“The flu is a serious respiratory illness everyone needs to be aware of, especially now that flu season is here,” said Dr. Luis Romano, U.S. Medical and Clinical Affairs Lead for Flu at GSK. “It’s especially important for high-risk groups to prioritize flu vaccination to help reduce the risk of illness, hospitalization, and flu-related death.”

Since 2010, there have been deep and persistent disparities in flu-related outcomes among racial and ethnic minority groups.[8] Hispanic and Black communities have consistently experienced higher rates of flu-related complications and death, often due to lower vaccination rates and delayed access to care.[8] According to the CDC, 39.2% of Hispanic adults and 43.1% of Black adults received a flu shot, compared to 49.8% of White adults and 54.9% of Asian adults.[9] This persistent gap in vaccination coverage increases vulnerability to severe flu-related illness and hospitalization.[9],[10]

Educating families

The best way to help protect yourself and your loved ones from the flu every season is by talking to your doctor or pharmacist about flu vaccination.[11] The CDC recommends flu vaccination for everyone six months of age and older who do not have contraindications.[12]

“Decades of data confirm flu vaccines have an excellent safety record,” added Dr. Romano. “Hundreds of millions of Americans have received flu vaccines over the past 50 years, and ongoing monitoring consistently reinforces their strong safety profile.”

The body of scientific evidence overwhelmingly supports flu vaccines are safe, making them a critical tool in helping to protect public health.[13]

Where to get vaccinated

If you haven’t gotten vaccinated against the flu yet, it’s not too late. While it’s best to get vaccinated by the end of October, getting your flu shot in November or later is still recommended since flu activity often peaks in February and can last into May.[14]

Getting a flu shot is typically quick and convenient, so you can help protect yourself and your family from the flu with minimal time commitment. Flu vaccinations are usually offered in doctor’s offices and clinics, but you can also get them in pharmacies, college health centers, and even some schools or workplaces.[15] Some vaccination locations, like pharmacies, may accept walk-ins. Flu vaccinations are usually free for people with medical insurance (including Medicaid, Medicare, ACA plans and private plans).[16]

(BPT) – The holiday season is one of the busiest travel periods of the year, with millions of drivers hitting the road to visit loved ones. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most common times for parking lot mishaps, rental car confusion and unexpected roadside incidents. Mercury Insurance (NYSE: MCY) is offering drivers practical tips to help them stay safe and avoid costly surprises while traveling this season.

“Between crowded parking lots, unpredictable weather and rental car agreements, holiday travel can get complicated fast,” said Justin Yoshizawa, Director, Product Management, State at Mercury Insurance. “A little preparation and understanding of your insurance coverage can make all the difference if something unexpected happens on the road.”

Top Auto Insurance Tips for Holiday Travel

Review your policy before hitting the road. Make sure your coverage is up to date and fits your travel plans. Comprehensive and collision coverage can help protect you from fender benders, theft and damage that may occur far from home.

Check your rental car coverage. If you’re renting a car, verify whether your personal auto policy extends to rentals. Most personal auto insurance policies do, and if you have an active auto policy with liability, collision, or comprehensive coverage, those same coverages usually apply when you rent a car for personal use. Talk to an agent about your options if your policy doesn’t include rental car coverage.

Protect your car in parking lots. Parking lots are a hot spot for dings, scratches and minor accidents during the holidays. Park in well-lit areas, avoid tight spots and consider backing into your space for better visibility when leaving.

Keep emergency supplies handy. Prepare an emergency kit with jumper cables, a flashlight, blankets, a first-aid kit and water. Winter weather and heavy traffic can mean longer wait times for roadside assistance.

Plan ahead for long drives. Schedule regular breaks, rotate drivers when possible, and don’t drive distracted or drowsy. Mercury encourages travelers to use navigation apps for real-time updates on traffic, road closures and weather conditions.

“Mishaps can happen even when you plan carefully,” added Yoshizawa. “Understanding your policy and knowing what’s covered helps you stay calm and focused if something goes wrong.”

(BPT) – Gen Z is expected to make up over 27% of the U.S. workforce by the end of 2025, and if your workplace wants to attract top talent from this generation, you’ll need to provide a positive company culture that fosters work-life balance and opportunities for growth.

According to a survey of 3,000 Gen Z students and graduates, their top three priorities for an ideal workplace are:

1. Career growth potential (74%).
2. Competitive compensation (72%).
3. Location convenience (69%).

Priority #1: Career growth potential.

In a 2023 study 70% of Gen Z shared that they expected a promotion within 18 months of starting a new role. Many employers are helping facilitate this by providing ongoing professional development opportunities. These can be in-house trainings by companies like Niche Academy or through stipends for conferences, workshops or webinars.

And while not all employees may be ready to promote within that 18-month window, some employers are helping them dress for the role they want by providing a Stitch Fix subscription to build out a more professional wardrobe.

Priority #2: Competitive compensation.

A Handshake survey found 74% of 2023’s grads say a top priority is stability and salary. Gen Z’ers are seeking a level of compensation that enables a true work-life balance amidst growing feelings of financial insecurity.

Employers can contribute to this sense of stability by bringing in a financial planner that employees can work with directly, such as those through BrightPlan. Providing other incentives beyond a paycheck, such as gas cards or Spotify subscriptions, can also help alleviate the day-to-day financial pressures Gen Z’ers face.

Priority #3: Location convenience.

When choosing where to work, often Gen-Zer’s will select jobs that offer more convenience, including proximity to retail, closer commutes and in-person interactions with their coworkers. One way employers are helping to foster personal interactions is with better break rooms. Companies are keeping their employees at the office and helping with breakroom hangouts with offerings like Java House’s ready-brewed Peel & Pour Pods. These allow Gen-Zer’s to make cafe-quality, eco-friendly cold brews right in the office — ideal for the 60% of coffee drinkers who prefer their coffee cold.

Also consider catering lunch from some of Gen Z’s favorite restaurants, such as First Watch or Torchy’s Tacos, which can also serve as a financial incentive.

When you invest in Gen Z’s priorities of career growth, compensation and convenience, you’re setting both your company and your Gen Z employees up for a successful future: attracting today’s top talent that will turn into tomorrow’s leaders.

In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the milk and 2 tablespoons of the syrup. Shake for 30 seconds. Strain into a glass and serve.

Strawberry Matcha Milk

It may not be pink, but the matcha in this Strawberry Matcha Milk is a gentle green that arouses curiosity.

Experiment with other juices to jazz up your morning milk routine.

(BPT) – Solar panels have been installed on homes since the 1970s, but many homeowners are still reluctant to embrace the technology. If you’ve considered solar but are still on the fence, you may want to learn how much solar roofs have changed. Going solar may be a lot easier, more affordable and more aesthetically pleasing than you think.

Solar panels have been around a long time

Did you know the first U.S. patents for solar cells were granted in the 1880s? But it wasn’t until the 1950s that space-age technology inspired solar panel development for satellites. With improved technology, solar panels began supplying energy to some homes in the 1970s through large, bulky roof panels that were far from easy on the eyes.

As sustainability concerns grew over the next few decades, solar panels became more efficient and somewhat easier to install. Although homeowners appreciated their environmental benefits and potential energy savings, many still saw solar roofs as unappealing. Companies began developing more integrated solar roofing materials, like photovoltaic shingles and tiles, to try to make solar roofs more attractive to homeowners.

Today’s solar roofs can blend right in

Fast forward to 2025: Solar roofing has entered a whole new era of efficiency and appearance. With innovative technology like the Jackery Solar Roof, homeowners can now have the best of both worlds: high performing, efficient panels that are almost indistinguishable from a regular roof.

As the world’s first XBC curved solar roof tile design, Jackery’s solar roof panels can blend in seamlessly with existing architecture in classic roof tile colors like dark obsidian or terracotta. Ultra-thin crystalline silicon solar cells (just 0.13 millimeters) help create elegant tiles offering superior aesthetics combined with high performance. Their unique 150-degree curved shape resembles traditional terracotta roofing tiles, and they achieve over 25% cell conversion efficiency.

These attractive new tiles are quick and easy to install, balancing energy performance with visual appeal. They’re also part of a larger solar system that can be integrated with battery storage for a complete home power solution. These are just a few of the reasons the Jackery Solar Roof was named one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions for 2025.

Additional benefits of going solar with Jackery

Still not sure about solar roofs? You’ll also want to know:

• Jackery’s rooftop system can generate 170 watts per square meter, with each tile generating 38W.
• The tiles come with a 25-Year Limited Warranty.
• They can handle extreme weather conditions: hail, high winds and temperatures of -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Jackery Solar Roof is compatible with smart energy management systems, as well as Jackery’s solar generators and battery systems like the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus, the premium option for essential home backup.

Reach top efficiency combining solar with advanced storage

The Explorer 5000 Plus is Jackery’s most advanced modular storage system designed with the option of off-grid home power supply, with portability in mind.

Starting with a base capacity of 5 kilowatt-hours (kWh), it can scale up to 60 kWh using additional battery packs combined with Jackery’s Smart Transfer Switch (STS) for a flexible, powerful energy solution. Designed as a versatile extension to home solar systems, the Explorer 5000 Plus is compatible with standard High-PV Input MC4 connections, from standalone solar modules to full-scale roof installations.

For seamless integration into home power networks, the system can be paired with the optional Jackery Smart Transfer Switch to handle up to 4,000 watts of input power. It delivers a staggering 7,200 watts of output power, supports UPS functionality for uninterrupted emergency power and offers ultra-fast charging options. The system can be fully charged in just 3.5 hours via the power grid or as fast as 102 minutes with hybrid charging.

The Explorer 5000 Plus is equipped with app-based controls, letting you monitor and optimize energy usage in real time. Built with robust LiFePO4 batteries, the system meets the highest safety standards, and is equipped with castor wheels for easy mobility.

Home backup allows you the control and ownership of power generated by a solar system, crucial for power outages, night-time use and energy cost-savings.

An award-winning innovation

In addition to TIME Magazine’s recognition, the Solar Roof has earned honors from the Good Design Award 2024, IDEA Certificate 2025, iF Design Award 2025 and the Red Dot Design Award 2024, underscoring Jackery’s long-term vision for integrating cutting-edge engineering with sustainable living, highlighting how the company is redefining home energy solutions for a greener future.

These energy solutions are designed to meet the demands of today’s homeowners who also want a more eco-conscious lifestyle. Learn more about rooftop solar and energy storage options for your home at Jackery.com.
