New Jersey American Water Donates $25,000 and 1,000 Pounds of Food Through Statewide Food Drive for New Jersey Food Banks
New Jersey American Water recently donated $25,000 to ten food banks across the state and held food drives at each of its operating centers, which garnered over 1,000 pounds of food in donations from employees and company partners. The company announced its pledge to donate and kicked off the food drive in late October to provide emergency relief to foodbanks facing increases in demand due to the federal shutdown.
"Access to basic needs like clean water and nutritious food is essential for healthy communities," said Kimberly Schalek Downes, vice president of Business Development, Government & External Affairs at New Jersey American Water. "By partnering with food banks across the state, we're proud to help provide relief during this challenging time and support our neighbors who need it most."
According to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey and Feeding America's latest analysis, nearly 1.1 million New Jerseyans, including more than 270,000 children, are food insecure, a 65% increase since 2020. To help combat this, donations from New Jersey American Water and its employees directly benefit the following food banks:
* Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Hillside in Union & Essex Counties
* Community Food Bank of New Jersey, Egg Harbor Township in Atlantic, Cape May & Cumberland Counties
* The Food Bank of South Jersey in Burlington, Camden & Salem, Gloucester Counties
* FulFill Food Bank in Monmouth & Ocean Counties

* Mercer Street Friends Food Bank in Mercer County
* Norwescap Food Bank in Warren County
* REPLENISH in Middlesex County
* John's Pentecostal Church food bank in Salem County
* United Methodist Church food bank in Warren County
"I'm humbled by the enthusiasm of our employees to give back," said Schalek Downes. "Their dedication reflects the heart of our company and our commitment to the communities we serve."

LOS ANGLES, California, Nov. 27 -- TikTok, a destination for a short-form mobile video, issued the following news:

Introducing a new way to unwind, reset, and recharge on TikTok
People around the world come to TikTok to discover new interests, find inspiration, and catch up with the latest from their favorite creators as they unwind and recharge. From growing communities like #JournalTok, which has doubled in the past year, or #NatureTok, TikTok sparks moments of joy and relaxation. Today we're announcing a new Time and Well-being space that introduces more features to help people relaxand build mindful digital habits.
Today's updates build on our ongoing work to support the safety and well-being of the TikTok community, especially teens. Teen accounts on TikTok have more than 50 preset safety, privacy, and security settings automatically turned on, so they can safely express their creativity, connect with friends, and learn on our platform. This year we introduced a meditation feature and turned it on by default for teens at 10pm to support them as they wind down at night. We then made it available for everyone, and tens of millions of people have chosen to meditate with TikTok. We also launched Well-being Missions to promote positive digital habits and expanded our Mental Health Education Fund to 22 countries to enhance reliable mental health information from trusted sources on TikTok. And we launched AMBER Alerts in the U.S. to harness the power of the TikTok community to help bring missing children home, which we've seen successfully happen across states like Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina. Recognizing that every teen and every family is different, this year we also continued to add more Family Pairing features that offer parents more options to tailor their teens' account. We launched Time Away which enables parents to pause their teen's TikTok access when it's best for them to take a break, and provided more transparency into a variety of their teen's account settings. More than 1 million people visited our Family Pairing tool in the last six weeks, and millions of families continue to benefit from Family Pairing.
A new Time and Well-being space, only on TikTok
Time and Well-being makes it easier than ever for our community to relax and unwind. This comes as research shows that people who use TikTok are more likely than non-users to be interested in meditation and mindfulness*. It replaces the previous screen time management page and offers new features, including:
* An affirmational journal, allowing people to set their intention for the day, with more than 120 different affirmation cards to download or even share with others.
* A soothing sound generator, featuring the sounds of rain, waves, and white noise. Survey data shows that people who use TikTok are 14% more likely than non-users to listen to music to help them sleep or relax*.
* Breathing exercises, featuring different types of mindful breathing.
The new space also includes videos from creators that offer practical guidance on maximizing TikTok tools, such as screen time limits, customizing the For You feed, and using Family Pairing. We collaborated with @louislevanti, @thepsychdoctormd, @oh.henrys, @quenwilliamss and @juicybodygoddess to launch the first series of videos, with more to come from creators around the world.
New Well-being Missions
As we roll out the new Time and Well-being space, we're also launching four new Well-being Missions. These are short, fun tasks designed to help our community, and teens in particular, use technology with greater purpose and confidence. Well-being Missions is guided by academic literature that shows how restrictive approaches to building habits can be punitive and counterproductive as well as clinically-informed insights from experts like the Digital Wellness Lab. We also listened to our Youth Council as well as research showing that two-thirds of teens say tools to help manage their time on digital media are useful. As people complete missions, they earn badges that encourage and reinforce mindful behaviors.
* To complete the new Sleep Hours Mission, people have to stay off TikTok at night. They can also meditate during Sleep Hours to collect their badge. This Mission lasts eight weeks and people can grow their own 'Well-being tree' as they successfully complete the Mission each week. This idea was inspired by input from our Youth Council during our recent Summit in London.
* To earn the daily screen time badge, people need to set a screen time limit and then stick to their goal.
* Our new weekly screen time Mission prompts people to check their weekly screen time report. This is designed to help people more intentionally reflect and be aware of the time they spend on TikTok.
* We've also launched a Well-being Ambassador Mission to reward people who invite others to explore the Well-being Missions.
We're already seeing encouraging results from early testing: more people are returning to our new Time and Well-being space compared to the previous screen time settings menu, and the affirmation journal is proving to be the most popular new addition so far.
"In today's online landscape, well-being has to be a priority. I'm glad to see my project brought to life for millions of people around the world to experience. This idea, born thanks to the TikTok Youth Council, recognizes the impact young people can have when given the right platform. I look forward to seeing the change the Time and Well-being space will bring, and I hope it helps teens and adults alike to balance their online lives."
- Tomas Cermak, 19, TikTok Youth Council member
Helping people discover Time and Well-being
Time and Well-being is accessible from the Account Settings page. To help people intuitively access it throughout our app, we'll also link to it when someone reaches their daily screen time limit or their Sleep Hours are active. We've also added a prompt to our Take A Break videos to further promote the new feature.
Supporting independent research
As we look to 2026, we will be making a $100,000 contribution to the Tech Coalition SafeOnline Research Fund to support their work at the intersection of young people, researchers, and digital well-being. And as we continue testing and hearing feedback from our community, we look forward to sharing more.
"We know that the way we use technology can influence our mental well-being. TikTok's new Time and Well-being space is a meaningful step toward digital environments designed with care, balance, and reflection in mind. When platforms incorporate science and social responsibility into their design, they help people build healthier relationships with technology, and with themselves." - Dr Eva Trujillo, Executive Director of Comenzar de Nuevo
"It's great to see TikTok acting upon direct feedback from their Youth Council and building out a suite of well-being tools to help people manage their screen time and center their well-being when using the app." - Dr. Vicki Harrison, Member of TikTok's Content Advisory Counsel and Program Director for Stanford Psychiatry's Center for Youth Mental Health & Wellbeing

STAMFORD, Connecticut, Nov. 27 (TNSrep) -- Gartner, an information technology research and advisory company, issued the following news release:
* * *
Gartner Survey Reveals 52% of Government CIOs Outside of the U.S. Expect IT Budgets to Increase in 2026
IT Investments to Rise Despite Overall Budget Pressures, Driven by Demand for Tangible Mission Outcomes
*
Fifty-two percent of government CIOs (not including the U.S.) expect their IT budgets to increase for AI and other key technologies in 2026, according to a survey by Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company. This is despiteoverall budget pressures, with governments recognizing their transformational potential for modernizing public services and achieving critical mission objectives.
The 2026 Gartner CIO and Technology Executive Survey gathered data from 2,501 respondents from May 1 to June 30, 2025, including 284 government CIOs (not including the U.S).
"Geopolitical shifts and economic volatility are forcing government CIOs to rapidly adjust their priorities for next year," said Arthur Mickoleit, Director Analyst at Gartner. "They are being asked to demonstrate the mission impact of technology investments - including, but not limited to, cost savings and user experience."
The top four technologies government CIOs (not including the U.S.) plan to increase investments in next year are cybersecurity (85%), AI (80%), generative AI (80%) and cloud platforms (76%).
AI Deployments to Accelerate
According to the survey, 74% of government CIOs (not including the U.S.) have already deployed or plan to deploy AI within the next 12 months, with GenAI higher at 78%. Interest in AI agents is also rising, with 49% reporting current or planned deployment in the next 12 months (see Figure 1).
Figure 1: State of AI Deployments in Government (not including the U.S.)
"Agentic AI is emerging as an enabler of government transformation, but CIOs must remain mindful of the hype that can distract from more mature technologies like machine learning and business process automation," said Mickoleit. "This next wave of innovation will be essential for delivering on public sector priorities, especially as expectations are high following years of investments in digital government."
The survey reveals high expectations for both AI and other key technologies as government leaders focus on building a more productive workforce in 2026. More than half (51%) of government CIOs (not including the U.S.) will increase focus on boosting employee productivity next year, followed by launching new digital products and services (38%) and improving the overall citizen experience (37%).
"CIOs should prioritize AI initiatives that rapidly improve internal efficiency and productivity," said Mickoleit. "At the same time, governance practices must be updated to modernize procurement, manage limited resources and balance risks with opportunities in citizen-facing AI applications."
Reassessing Vendor Relationships Amid Global Uncertainty
According to the survey, 55% of government CIOs (not including the U.S.) expect changes in how they engage with technology providers due to rising geopolitical tensions and digital sovereignty concerns. Location is now a defining factor in procurement decisions next to cost or scale, with 39% of government CIOs (not including the U.S.) planning to work closer with technology providers based in their own region.
"Government CIOs are increasingly seeking to reduce dependence on global technology vendors to strengthen resilience," said Mickoleit. "Many are now factoring geopolitical risk into vendor selection and long-term planning. Mapping risks and dependencies across public sector technology stacks will ensure they can mitigate and absorb future disruptions."
