Remote Gaming Duty Has Turned Casino Retention Into a Boardroom Issue

The online casino market in the UK has reached a new level. Retention cannot be viewed as just a CRM concern or a marketing team metric, as Remote Gaming Duty rates will increase drastically from 21% to 40% from April 2026 forward for casino operators. It is now a boardroom consideration because the economics of each bonus, each player’s return, each game, and each pound of gross gaming revenue differ, with higher tax pressure.

VitaDrive Natural Shilajit Gummies Review: Does the Science Hold Up? My Honest Take

The Short VersionVitaDrive Natural Shilajit Gummies are built on a real ingredient story. Shilajit has two peer-reviewed clinical trials behind its energy and testosterone claims, including a 90-day study that showed a 20 percent rise in total testosterone at a clinical dose. The gummy format itself is a defensible choice for daily compliance, but it comes with a real trade-off: gummies typically dose lower than the milligram levels used in those clinical trials, and traditional shilajit resin is still the gold standard for purists. The brand history adds an informed-buying layer, which I cover separately in my VitaDrive Reviews piece. My verdict on the product itself is 7.0 out of 10. Strong enough to recommend with realistic expectations, qualified enough to be honest. Give it the full four to six weeks before you decide whether it works for your body.

A product-focused look at what is in the bottle and whether the format delivers.

People search “VitaDrive Natural Shilajit Gummies review” to find out whether the product works, not whether the company is legit. For brand history, see my VitaDrive Reviews piece. This is the product.

Does the gummy deliver enough shilajit in a usable form for the benefits the ingredient is known for? That breaks into three questions: what is in the bottle, what should it do, and how does the gummy format compare to resin?

Jefferson Recognizes Nurses for Extraordinary Patient Care

Jefferson Health has announced its latest New Jersey recipients of the DAISY Award, an international recognition program that honors nurses for their extraordinary clinical skill and compassionate care. Recipients are selected by Jefferson’s Clinical Recognition Committee in New Jersey in order to celebrate team members who go “above and beyond” in delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.

“The compassionate and patient-centered approach of these honorees exemplifies the purpose of the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, which recognizes nurses who combine exceptional clinical skill with extraordinary human connection,” said Kim Edson, DNP, MBA, MS, RN, NEA-BC, FACHE, Chief Nursing Officer, Jefferson Health–East Region.

DAISY Award Honorees:

Deborah Dominy, BSN, RN, CCRN, an Intensive Care Unit nurse at Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital and a resident of Wenonah, New Jersey, received the DAISY Award after being nominated by a grateful patient who praised her calm presence and attentiveness during a frightening cardiac episode.

According to the nomination, Deborah listened closely to the patient and family, carefully reviewed physician orders, adjusted the patient’s intravenous medication, and helped to stabilize their heart rhythm and significantly improved their physical well-being. She also provided the patient with a copy of their electrocardiogram printout to share with their doctor closer to home. Deborah’s actions left a lasting impact on the patient and family, who described her as someone who saw “a person with a monitor attached, not a monitor with a person attached.”

Jane Dauito, BSN, RN, MEDSURG-BC, an MS-4 Unit nurse at Jefferson Washington Township Hospital and a resident of Vineland, New Jersey, also received the DAISY Award after being recognized by a grateful patient for the compassionate care she provided during a 10-day hospital stay.

The patient shared that Jane consistently informed them about their condition, answered questions with patience, and clarity, and took time to engage thoughtfully with the patient’s daughter throughout the hospitalization. Jane’s attentiveness, positivity, and dedication helped create a supportive environment during a physically and emotionally challenging experience. The nomination highlighted Jane’s ability to combine strong clinical care with meaningful human connection, helping ease anxiety and foster trust throughout the patient’s recovery process.

As part of an international recognition program, DAISY honorees are nominated by patients, family members and colleagues, then selected by Jefferson’s Clinical Recognition Committee in New Jersey following a review of the nominations. The nonprofit DAISY Foundation was established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died in 1999 from complications of an autoimmune disease. For more information, visit www.daisyfoundation.org.

New Jersey Blood Services Calls for Immediate Blood Donations as Summer “Trauma Season” Begins

New Jersey Blood Services (NJBS) is urgently calling on New Jersey residents to donate blood ahead of Memorial Day weekend as the region faces dangerously low blood collections at the start of the summer “trauma season,” one of the most difficult and critical times of year for maintaining the blood supply.

Blood donations are down nearly 15%, representing approximately 4,500 fewer donations than needed to meet hospital demand across the region. The shortfall comes just before Memorial Day weekend, when donations traditionally decline due to travel, vacations, school breaks, and holiday activities. Following a difficult winter season, spring donations have also failed to rebound as expected, and without an immediate increase in donations, the region risks entering blood emergency territory in the weeks ahead.

Seat Belts Saves LivesBuckle Up May 18 – May 31, and Every Day

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration is urging drivers to buckle up ahead of the Click It or Ticket seat belt
safety campaign. The national high-visibility seat belt enforcement effort, which coincides
with the Memorial Day holiday, runs May 18-31, 2026.
In 2024, there were 9,758 unbuckled passenger vehicle occupants killed in traffic crashes. The
national seat belt use rate in 2024 was 91.2%, which is good — but it can be better. The other
8.8% still need to be reminded that seat belts save lives. Participating law enforcement
agencies will be taking a no-excuses approach to seat belt law enforcement, writing citations
day and night.
One of the focuses of the Click It or Ticket seat belt campaign is nighttime enforcement.
NHTSA data shows a higher number of unrestrained occupant fatalities happen at night (56%
between the hours of 6 p.m. and 5:59 a.m.). Of the males killed in crashes in 2023, more than
half (53%) were unrestrained. For females killed in crashes, 41% were not buckled up.
Buckle Up the Right Way
