2025 marks the 85th year of the American Diabetes Association® (ADA), and while there have been extraordinary advancements in diabetes knowledge, treatment, and care, there remains more to be done to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by the disease.

“Looking back at the progress made over the last 85 years, you can see how every learning, every policy shift, every moment spent in pursuit of a cure helped get to where we are today. It all mattered— and it still does as we continue toward a future free from diabetes and all its burdens,” said Charles “Chuck” Henderson, the ADA’s chief executive officer.

This November, the ADA will be taking to screens both big and small, encouraging everyone to gather hope and join the fight to end diabetes in whatever way they can. A public service announcement will run ahead of big holiday blockbusters at AMC, Cinemark, and Regal cinemas, as well as regional and smaller theaters across the country. Throughout the month on the ADA’s social media channels, people will find inspirational stories, opportunities for community, resources, and encouragement in the fight.

Whether it’s donating, sharing your story and spreading awareness about diabetes, or joining an event in person, every contribution keeps the momentum going.

Arnold & Itkin Files Lawsuit After Transformer Explosion Severely Burns Worker at Denton Worksite

DALLAS, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Arnold & Itkin LLP has filed a lawsuit on behalf of Joseph Soroka, a Washington worker who sustained catastrophic burn injuries when electrical transformers exploded at a worksite in Denton, Texas. The suit names multiple corporate defendants, including T5 Construction, T5 Data Centers, Core Scientific, Coreweave, OpenAI, Telios Corporation, Walker Electrical Contractors, Walker Engineering, and Giga Energy.

Logo

On the day of the incident, Mr. Soroka was working at a facility located on Jim Christal Road in Denton when one or more high-voltage transformers catastrophically failed while being energized. The explosion sent burning oil into the air, raining down onto Mr. Soroka and causing second- and third-degree burns across his body.

The complaint alleges that the defendants were fully responsible for the failed equipment and the worksite in general, and that their negligence and gross negligence created unsafe conditions. Failures cited include improper design and inspection of equipment, failure to provide safe warnings or procedures for energizing high-voltage transformers, and failure to maintain a reasonably safe workplace.

Several defendants are further accused of premises liability, as they allegedly owned or controlled the site and failed to mitigate the dangerous conditions that led to the accident.

Mr. Soroka suffered life-altering injuries, including severe burns, physical impairment, disfigurement, and long-term disability. The petition states he has already incurred substantial medical expenses and faces continuing treatment needs, as well as a loss of past and future earning capacity. The lawsuit seeks compensatory damages for these losses, as well as exemplary damages on grounds that the defendants acted knowingly and recklessly in disregarding worker safety.

The plaintiff is represented by Texas burn injury attorneys Jason Itkin, Noah Wexler, Trevor Courtney, and Daniel Cassee of Arnold & Itkin LLP. The case was filed in Dallas County District Court, and Mr. Soroka has requested a jury trial with specified monetary relief in excess of $1,000,000.

Comment from Jason Itkin, co-founder of Arnold & Itkin LLP: 

“There’s nothing inevitable about what happened to Joseph Soroka. The defendants were responsible for making sure Mr. Soroka could get home safely at the end of his shift. His injuries are the result of real choices made by the management of T5 Construction, Core Scientific, and the other named defendants.”

Comment from Noah Wexler, trial attorney at Arnold & Itkin LLP:

“Second- and third-degree burns are among the costliest injuries anyone can sustain—not only in a financial sense, but in a personal sense. His treatment, rehabilitation, and financial security are the defendants’ responsibility. They need to do the right thing by him.”

CARLISLE, Pa., Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In a powerful act of healing and reclamation, Dickinson College will dedicate the Jim Thorpe Center for the Futures of Native Peoples near the site of the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School (CIIS)—the first federal off-reservation boarding school founded with the intent to “kill the Indian… save the man” through forced assimilation of Indigenous children and young adults.

“Just a few miles from the former grounds of a place that sought to erase our cultures and identities, the new space will stand as a testament to our strength and thriving presence,” says Amanda Cheromiah (KawaiKa-Laguna Pueblo), executive director of the Center for the Futures of Native Peoples (CFNP) and a granddaughter of six CIIS students.

Made possible through a $20 million gift from alumnus and philanthropist Samuel G. Rose, the building will include the Samuel G. Rose ’58 Art Gallery, celebrating Indigenous art and representing the largest arts investment in Dickinson’s history. The gallery will elevate Dickinson’s art collection and enhance its academic programs.

The center honors Jim Thorpe (Wa-Tho-Huk), a member of the Sac and Fox and Potawatomi Nations, who attended the CIIS. Thorpe excelled at sports, winning Olympic gold medals and playing professional football and baseball, but he was much more than an athlete. Thorpe committed himself and his resources to the advancement of Native Peoples.

The project reflects Dickinson’s work confronting its historical ties to the CIIS, which operated in Carlisle from 1879 to 1918. The college now hosts the world’s most comprehensive digital archive of CIIS materials and established the CFNP in 2023 with Mellon Foundation support.

The design team is led by Richard Olaya, AIA, of O Z Collaborative as the architect of record and Johnpaul Jones, FAIA, of Jones +Jones as the design architect. Johnpaul Jones, who is of Choctaw, Cherokee and Welsh American heritage and is one of the founding principals of Jones + Jones Architects and Landscape Architects was one of the lead designers of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian, and the first Native American architect honored with the National Humanities Medal.

Rose, a real estate developer and Dickinson’s most significant benefactor, has contributed more than $100 million to the college, including gifts supporting scholarships, campus initiatives and art acquisitions.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana, Oct. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — On the evening of October 24, 2025, GAC held a grand brand launch ceremony in George Town, the capital of the Cayman Islands – a world-renowned financial center and the “Pearl of the Caribbean”.

The event, themed “Experience The Future Of Driving”, demonstrated GAC’s strategic layout for the international market and its brand confidence.

This launch marks the deepening of GAC’s accelerated globalization process. The Cayman Islands is a British Overseas Territory in the northwestern Caribbean Sea, consisting of three islands: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman, and Cayman Brac, with an area of 264 square kilometers and a population of 76,000.

Meanwhile, it also hosts major Chinese enterprises such as China Mobile, Sinopec, and PetroChina. In 2024, its per capita GDP reached US$97,700. It is also a well-known Caribbean diving resort that attracts millions of European and American tourists every year. By launching in the Cayman Islands, an international financial hub, GAC’s brand development is expected to strengthen its connection with global capital markets.

With “safety” and “technology” as its core concepts, GAC emphasizes independent technology research and development as well as product quality. This event showcased new products such as EMKOO, EMZOOM, AION V, GS8, GS4 MAX, and EMPOW. This launch is of great significance – it may further enhance the international competitiveness of Chinese auto companies in the high-end market, while injecting innovative vitality into the global automotive industry. GAC stated that it will rely on the financial advantages and international platform of the Cayman Islands to continuously expand emerging markets in the Americas and strive to become a benchmark brand in the global intelligent mobility field.
