Today, a new initiative is calling for a shift — to change how we think, talk about, and respond to obesity, through a lens of science, empathy, and early intervention. Novo Nordisk's ‘Beyond the Scale' initiative Breaking the Myths: A Public Health Reframe "Just eat less." "Try harder." "It's a lifestyle choice."

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 27 June 2025 - Crypto has been booming for quite a while now. But for those who missed the hype train or find the highly volatile crypto market unsuitable, contracts for difference (CFD) present a viable—and arguably more secure—asset type. The experts at Octa, a global broker since 2011, explain why CFDs are worth exploring to expand experience with the financial markets. New trends, old problems The crypto market experienced turmoil throughout 2024. Bitcoin reached multiple all-time highs in a span of one year, and altcoins tried to follow suit. In early 2025, the appearance of the TRUMP coin reinforces the global trend for crypto's increasing media presence and violent fluctuations of the crypto market. However, even with the current uptrend, the downsides of the crypto market persist. Excessive volatility and the speculative nature of most crypto assets make it a bumpy ride for anyone who aims for consistent outcomes. Among the most popular assets that can be traded instead of crypto, one stands apart for flexibility and accessibility: contracts for difference, or CFDs. These financial instruments allow traders to speculate on the price movements of an asset without owning it. Instead of buying or selling the actual asset, traders enter into an ......read more

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 June 2025 - Singapore-based cloud provider CLDY has announced the launch of Always-On Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) across all WordPress sites it hosts, setting a new benchmark for default security in managed hosting environments. The feature comes pre-installed and fully configured—offering site owners strong, frictionless protection from the moment they go live. The move comes amid a surge In CMS-targeted cyberattacks. WordPress now powers over 43% of websites worldwide (W3Techs), making it a top target for attackers. In 2024 alone, over 90,000 attacks per minute were recorded against WordPress sites (Wordfence), with brute-force login attempts among the most common methods of compromise. "Many web hosting owners still skip basic security because setting it up can be confusing or technical," said Dan Chen, Managing Director at CLDY. "We've taken that barrier away—our Always-On 2FA is pre-installed and enforced out of the box, so site admins don't need to lift a finger." Unlike self-installed plugins that rely on the user to configure settings correctly, CLDY's solution is centrally managed and standardized across its hosting platform. This ensures consistent protection and removes the risk of misconfiguration—especially important for small businesses or first-time site owners. Security by Default, Not Upsell CLDY's 2FA implementation adds to its already robust security stack, which includes: ......read more

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 June 2025 - Singapore based fintech ROSHI has released a new report analysing credit card debt levels across Southeast Asia, providing insights into how consumers in the region are managing high-interest unsecured debt amidst ongoing economic pressures. Credit Card Debt in ASEAN and Beyond 2025 The report reveals that Singapore has one of the highest average credit card balances in the region with cardholders carrying an average of S$5,335 equivalent to 86% of the average monthly income. While this may appear significant, ROSHI's analysis suggests that strong repayment habits and access to advanced financial infrastructure mean that credit card usage in Singapore is largely strategic rather than unsustainable. However, the situation varies dramatically across the region. In the Philippines, the average credit card balance stands at S$2,092, while the average monthly income is just S$492 resulting in a debt-to-income ratio of over 425%. This finding highlights growing consumer vulnerability in emerging markets with limited access to affordable credit solutions. "Our research shows that while Singaporeans are carrying high card balances, they tend to use credit more strategically for cashback and point rewards compared to some of their regional neighbours," said Mr. Amir Nada, ROSHI CEO. "But with interest rates on credit cards still hovering around 25–29%, it's critical for consumers to remain proactive ......read more
