Allsup Employment Services Honors ADA 35th Anniversary By Empowering People With Disabilities To Return To Work
By GlobeNewswire Published on July 22, 2025, 22:18 IST Belleville, Illinois, July 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In recognition of the 35th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Allsup Employment Services (AES) is highlighting the importance of improving workforce participation among people with disabilities. As a Social-Security authorized Employment Network, AES supports the Social Security Administration's (SSA) Ticket To Work Program, a voluntary program that helps individuals explore employment while maintaining vital Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) protections. The ADA, enacted July 26, 1990, prohibits discrimination based on disability and ensures equal access to public life, including employment. Today, an estimated 44.7 million Americans—13.6% of the population—live with a disability, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Progress has been made, yet workers with disabilities continue to face significant barriers to employment. Companies that actively hire and support people with disabilities see significant advantages—generating more than one-and-half times more revenue, more than two-and-a-half times more net income, and twice the profit of their peers, according to an Accenture report. These findings underscore the value of workforce participation for people with disabilities and the need for practical support to make employment possible. AES is committed to bridging this gap by providing expert vocational guidance to help individuals set work goals, understand their benefits and return to the workforce with confidence. 'Our vocational experts help individuals move toward work while protecting important benefits during the transition,' said Diane Winiarski, director of AES.

SS Rajamouli Debuts In Death Stranding 2 Video Game, Fans React
Director SS Rajamouli is making a thrilling cameo in Death Stranding 2 alongside son Karthikeya, captivating fans and redefining creative boundaries instantly. SS Rajamouli, the director behind global cinematic phenomena like Baahubali and RRR, is now redefining boundaries by making a surprise appearance in the world of video games. Can he bring the same magic to a virtual one? The acclaimed director, known for catapulting Telugu cinema to worldwide acclaim, has teamed up with his son, Karthikeya, for a cameo in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. The highly anticipated video game is crafted by the visionary Japanese game designer, Hideo Kojima. This unexpected fusion of Indian cinema and global gaming follows a string of interactions between Rajamouli, Karthikeya, and Kojima, with their recent virtual meeting fueling speculation about a potential collaboration. Karthikeya's cryptic hints about working with Kojima Productions had fans buzzing with anticipation. Fans, in no time, flocked to the comments section showing their excitement about the collab. 'Wow , this is too good !! I remember @ssrajamouli getting scanned in @KojiPro2015_EN office , hoping for his cameo in #DS2 ….But I think some collab is happening where @HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN's help is being asked for #SSMB29," read a comment suspecting for a possible collab of the gaming firm for Rajamouli's next production. 'Too good to kill," read another comment. The connection between Rajamouli and Kojima dates back to 2022 when the director visited Japan during RRR's global promotional tour. It was then that he met Kojima in person, touring his state-of-the-art studio and experiencing an immersive 360-degree screening of some of Kojima's latest projects in an innovative, interactive setup. As early access to Death Stranding 2 unfolds, keen-eyed players have spotted two intriguing characters – The Adventurer and Adventurer's Son – who bear a striking resemblance to Rajamouli and Karthikeya. Though their roles are minor and non-playable, these cameos have sent fans of both cinema and gaming into a frenzy, celebrating this unexpected and delightful convergence of two distinct creative worlds. Death Stranding 2: Cast Hideo Kojima's hallmark is creating video games that rival cinematic masterpieces, and Death Stranding 2 is poised to be another tour de force. With a star-studded cast including Norman Reedus, Elle Fanning, and Léa Seydoux, this game promises a breathtakingly visual and emotionally charged experience. Set to hit the global market on June 26, 2025, Death Stranding 2 will make its exclusive debut on the PlayStation 5. On the work front, SS Rajamouli is currently busy with his next project, tentatively titled SSMB29, featuring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra in the lead roles.

Coca-Cola launches global initiative to reshape supply systems: 'Catalyze long-term change'
The Coca-Cola Foundation has teamed up with the United Nations Development Programme in an effort to combat plastic waste in Sri Lanka. According to Economy Next, the UNDP is giving Sri Lanka $1.1 million to develop a system for managing the country's plastic waste. The agency's Sri Lanka office will oversee the execution of the project. "Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, and addressing it requires collaborative, scalable action," UNDP Sri Lanka deputy resident representative Malin Herwig told EN. "This project will not only help reduce plastic leakage into ecosystems but also catalyze long-term change in how plastic is managed and valued in Sri Lanka," Herwig continued. Plastic pollution is a global crisis, with a staggering 460 million metric tons of plastic waste produced each year across the globe, per the U.N. Environment Programme. Since plastic is not biodegradable, it leaches toxic chemicals into the environment that threaten the health of ecosystems. As a result, plastic waste management is essential for ensuring a safe future. Across the globe, countries are developing innovative ways to reduce plastic waste and mitigate its environmental footprint. Though this project is a step in the right direction, Coca-Cola still generates a significant amount of plastic waste. Despite its plastic waste reduction campaigns, the company is one of the world's biggest plastic polluters and has been accused of greenwashing. However, the new partnership and project with the UNDP demonstrate Coca-Cola's efforts to combat plastic waste on a global scale. Eight other countries in the region are part of the $15 million initiative: Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Maldives, Nepal, Philippines, and Vietnam. Do you think America has a plastic waste problem? Definitely Only in some areas Not really I'm not sure Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. "The project is expected to contribute to collecting at least 55,610 tons of plastics and support 72,100 direct beneficiaries during the implementation period across all nine participating countries," EN stated.
