ZIYNX Unveils Groundbreaking Online Academy to Equip Student-Athletes with Career-Building and Personal Development Skills, with The Coca-Cola Company as Founding Partner

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ZIYNX, the innovative athlete marketing company transforming how brands collaborate with student-athletes, is launching ZIYNX Academy—the first-ever online, on-demand internship and professional development program tailored to the unique demands of a student-athlete’s schedule. In partnership with Coca-Cola this groundbreaking initiative provides student-athletes with access to career-building and mental health resources that fit within their busy lives.

Unlike their non-athlete peers, student-athletes often struggle to take on traditional summer internships and extracurricular activities, leaving their resumes lacking when it’s time to enter the job market. They also face a common challenge of identity foreclosure after graduation, grappling with the question: “If I’m no longer an athlete, who am I?” This struggle can lead to anxiety, depression, and uncertainty about their future. In response, ZIYNX Academy was created in collaboration with over 75 current student athletes from ZIYNX’s rapidly growing community of 4,000+ athletes to address these issues head-on and help them successfully transition into the workforce when their playing days are over.

ZIYNX Academy offers web-based modules, each 45-60 minutes long, divided into three dynamic sections: roundtable discussions with athletes and subject matter experts, two-minute drills, and 24-second shots, something unique to ZIYNX. The 24-second shots featuring fellow student-athletes were intentionally crafted to that length, offering a strategic model for their peers on how to develop concise yet impactful elevator pitches.

The courses will cover essential topics that matter most to athletes—discovering their identity beyond sports, mental health and wellness, career readiness, financial literacy, entrepreneurship and much more. These learning modules are enhanced with interactive activities and live events designed to introduce student-athletes to various industries and connect them with thought leaders who can help them identify how their skills from sports can transfer to new professional opportunities. As athletes’ complete modules, they will receive certificates to enhance their resumes and professional profiles.

“We were so excited to partner with Coca-Cola, an iconic brand that transcends generations while remaining deeply invested in local communities,” said Joe Carney, Founder and CEO of ZIYNX. “Leveraging Coca-Cola’s brand equity and reach within college athletics amplifies the positive impact we’re striving to create for all athletes—helping them develop as people beyond their roles on the field.” As a founding partner of ZIYNX Academy, Coca-Cola will sponsor the second course, “Mental Health & Wellness,” making it available not only to every student-athlete but also to high school athletes and their parents. In addition, Coca-Cola will partner with ZIYNX to ensure that every student-athlete across all 107 HBCUs has free access to the entire ZIYNX Academy for the full academic year.

“Partnering with ZIYNX aligns with our shared commitment to support the personal and professional development of all student-athletes,” said Dori Silverman, Senior Director, Integrated Marketing. “Their innovative, authentic approach to storytelling matches our goal of engaging with students in ways that truly matter.”

In addition to Coca-Cola, ZIYNX is partnering directly with schools such as Fordham University, Vanderbilt University, Old Dominion University and Marist College to ensure all their student-athletes will be able to access all modules at no cost to the athlete.

To access the first course, visit https://ziynxacademy.thinkific.com/ and sign up to begin the module immediately.

About ZIYNX: ZIYNX is a US-based athlete marketing platform and mobile app for student-athletes and graduates. Driven by social impact and purpose, our strength lies in empowering student-athletes with the tools they need to discover, develop, and market their personal brands beyond the sports they play. Through our platform and authentic storytelling, we strive to create a brighter future for all student-athletes regardless of social following by connecting them with brands they love during their time in school, providing support that seamlessly bridges their transition into life after graduation.

The decision follows the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s announcement of an order issued by its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act, prohibiting U.S. financial institutions from processing funds transfers involving MEXC Global.

NatGold is a U.S. company whose wholly owned subsidiary, NatGold Integrity Vault LLC, is registered with FinCEN as a money services business. The Company is acting ahead of the order’s effective date.

NatGold is in advanced discussions with multiple regulatory-compliant exchanges and venues  serving global markets, including the United States, and intends to replace MEXC as soon as possible. Once new listings are confirmed, NATG token holders will be advised of the arrangements and encouraged to register accounts and link their wallets, as applicable, to continue trading.

What to Look for in an Online GLP-1 Provider: Meant Outlines Five Questions Worth Asking Before Signing Up

Published

November 7, 2026

By

MANASSAS, Va., Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As more telehealth companies offer GLP-1 care, the options can look alike from the outside, and telling them apart takes more than a glance at a landing page. Meant is sharing five questions consumers can ask when choosing an online GLP-1 provider, along with how it approaches each one.

Five Questions Worth Asking

Who makes the clinical decisions? A trustworthy provider should be clear about which licensed clinicians review each person’s information. At Meant, those decisions are made by licensed providers through its clinical partner, OpenLoop Health.Is there a real evaluation first? Look for a health-history review before anything is prescribed, and for plain language that a prescription is never guaranteed. Meant’s online assessment covers health history, current medications, and goals.Can the company’s credentials be checked? Independent certifications are one signal consumers can verify for themselves. Meant displays the seal for its LegitScript certification on its website.Is it clear who fills prescriptions? Providers should be open about the pharmacies they work with and whether those pharmacies are licensed in the United States.Is ongoing support spelled out, limits included? Good providers explain what follow-up looks like and who handles which questions. Meant pairs care with an optional Care Coach, and medical questions go to the care team.

A certification is a transparency signal, not a government approval or a promise about results, and no checklist replaces a conversation with a licensed clinician. Meant does not diagnose or prescribe, and treatment is not guaranteed for every applicant.

Take a Closer Look

Consumers who want to see how the assessment, clinical oversight, and coaching fit together can visit Meant‘s website and compare the details against the questions above.

About Meant

Meant is a health and wellness technology company focused on personalized GLP-1 weight-care support delivered through telehealth. The platform combines an online clinical assessment, licensed oversight through OpenLoop Health, Care Coach support, and supplemental wellness resources. Meant does not itself diagnose or prescribe; clinical decisions are made by its clinical partners. Learn more at meant.health.

HUANGSHAN, China, Nov. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from Crionline.

Spanning summer and autumn across three successive photography tours, the “Picturesque Anhui • Imaging Anhui” 2026 Anhui Photography Season officially wrapped up on November 4. Co-hosted by the Fédération Internationale de l’Art Photographique (FIAP), the Anhui Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and the Foreign Affairs Office of Anhui Provincial People’s Government, the event drew 116 photographers from 38 countries and regions. They visited 46 distinctive cultural and tourism attractions across five cities: Hefei, Chizhou, Anqing, Huangshan and Xuancheng. Through their lenses, they presented Anhui’s landscapes, cultural heritage and vibrant everyday life to the world.

Looking back on the three sessions: The first session kicked off in Hefei. Photographers documented the city’s innovation-driven urban landscape as well as the picturesque scenery and intangible cultural heritage of Chizhou’s ancient villages. The second session took them deep into Huangshan and Anqing. They explored time-honored Huizhou villages, magnificent mountains and Huangmei Opera culture, immersing themselves in Huizhou traditions and the cultural charm of the Yangtze River region in western Anhui. The concluding third session was held in Huangshan and Xuancheng, focusing on brilliant autumn hues, Huizhou‑style ancient architecture, and the traditional craftsmanship behind the Four Treasures of the Study.

From lush summer greens to rich autumn colours, the photographers produced more than 11,000 high‑resolution photographs. Reflecting the unique perspectives of international participants, these images will be disseminated globally in diverse forms. They will help tell compelling stories of Anhui’s cultural tourism and further boost the province’s international profile.
