Wiikwemkoong Unceded Territories has taken a significant step toward energy sustainability with the launch of a groundbreaking Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure project. Approved by Wiikwemkoong Leadership, this initiative combines cutting-edge technology and renewable energy to benefit the community and environment. In collaboration with Vortex Technology Group and supported by key funding programs, the project includes the installation of Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers alongside a revolutionary Battery Energy Storage Solution (BESS) at the community’s Recreational Complex. The launch event on November 27, 2024, was celebrated by Ogimaah Ominika and Vortex CEO Brian Walters. Ogimaah Ominika remarked, “When private sector companies partner and invest with Indigenous communities, the outcomes benefit technology, the environment, and the people.” The Vortex BESS technology, central to this initiative, offers unique advantages over traditional lithium-ion systems. Utilizing graphene-based, solid-state cells, the batteries are safer, longer-lasting, and faster-charging. They integrate seamlessly with the complex’s rooftop solar array, enabling EV charging and critical power supplies even during outages. This innovative design reflects Wiikwemkoong’s commitment to green energy and resilience. The project has been made possible through partnerships and funding from the IESO Indigenous Energy Support Program (IESP), NRCAN’s ZEVIP program, and in-kind contributions from Vortex. The IESP has supported over 170 Indigenous communities with $74 million since its inception, funding initiatives in renewable energy, storage systems, and microgrid development.The program underscores the role of Indigenous leadership in driving Ontario’s energy transition. Brian Walters highlighted, “This installation showcases how our technology can enhance EV charging and emergency power systems, reinforcing Wiikwemkoong’s leadership in sustainable innovation.” The project is more than infrastructure—it’s a vision for the future. The 24/7 accessible chargers will attract visitors to explore Wiikwemkoong’s cultural and ecological offerings while supporting a shift to cleaner transportation. By commissioning the chargers in mid-2025, the community will further its goals of environmental stewardship and energy independence. Wiikwemkoong’s initiative sets a national example, blending green innovation with cultural leadership to create lasting benefits for its people and the planet. -30- No media for this storyNoneThis festive season, Aloft Kuala Lumpur Sentral is presenting a jolly feast for the holiday season.

How major US stock indexes fared Tuesday, 11/26/2024CALGARY, Alberta, Nov. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enerflex Ltd. (TSX: EFX) (NYSE: EFXT) ("Enerflex” or the "Company”) today provided an update of a modularized cryogenic natural gas processing facility in Kurdistan (the "EH Cryo project”). As previously announced, during the second quarter of 2024, Enerflex suspended activity at the EH Cryo project, demobilized its personnel and provided its customer with notice of Force Majeure following a fatal drone attack at an adjacent facility. Due to the continuing Force Majeure and circumstances that make it impossible for Enerflex to fulfill its obligations under the EH Cryo project contract, Enerflex today provided its customer with formal notice of termination. As previously announced, Enerflex's customer has commenced arbitration proceedings against the Company, asserting certain baseless and unsubstantiated claims. Enerflex is disputing these claims and, following today's termination, Enerflex will seek to recover amounts owing in connection with the EH Cryo project. At the end of Q3/24, the net asset position associated with the EH Cryo project was $161 million. Approximately $75 million of work associated with the EH Cryo project was included in the Company's Engineered Systems ("ES”) backlog at the end of Q3/24. With the termination of the EH Cryo project, Enerflex expects to reverse this amount during the fourth quarter of 2024. The future ES revenue associated with the EH Cryo project was expected to contribute minimal gross margin. Since inception of the EH Cryo project, Enerflex has maintained a $31 million letter of credit to support its obligations under the EH Cryo project contract. Enerflex would view any drawing of this financial security in the prevailing circumstances as improper and would increase the amount owing by the customer. Any drawing of the financial security would not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or liquidity. At the end of Q3/24, Enerflex had $588 million available for future drawings, which reflects the $31 million letter of credit funded with the Company's revolving credit facility.

(USTAAI) launched “Project First 1,000 Days” during its masquerade ball dubbed as “La Tomasina Baile De Mascaras” on Oct. 26 at the Manila Hotel. The event was a collaboration between and among the committees of the USTAAI, specifically the committees on advocacy and resource, and the interrelatedness of its three advocacies—quality education, sustainable environment, and disaster response. The highlighted advocacy that night was quality education, which is the most important factor for the human resource development of our country. By all indications, the launch (as well as the masquerade ball) was a huge success, drawing many Thomasian and non-Thomasian attendees. But, of course, we are well aware that it was just the beginning, and more work has to be done. The USTAAI was moved to initiate “Project First 1,000 Days” because of the much-lamented outcome of the 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment, which was sponsored by the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. The Philippines scored 355 in Math, 347 in Reading, and 356 in Science. According to reports, these scores placed us at the bottom of the international quintile of the socioeconomic scale. While these results, which are very telling, have implications for the quality of basic education in our country regarding curriculum and teacher competence enhancement, we believe that human resource development is a complex process that requires an integrated approach, especially when it deals with the pupils’ readiness for academic participation and success. A very important factor in this is the child’s development in the first 1,000 days of his or her life, which begins from the time of conception up to two and a half years old. This is the period during which the child’s brain, immune system and body organs are developed. This period also determines the child’s readiness for academic participation and success and, consequently, his or her life success. Studies have shown that the impact of how the child is cared for during his or her first 1,000 days is irreversible. A child’s poor growth leads to stunting, which means shorter height, poor participation in school, little or no employability skills, poor income as adults, and increased susceptibility to chronic diseases. The study conducted by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies and the Second Congressional Commission on Education revealed that one in three Filipino children is stunted due to malnutrition and inadequate access to high-quality childcare. The government has been taking the necessary steps to address this concern. Republic Act No. 11148, also known as the Kalusugan at Nutrisyon ng Mag-Nanay Act, was signed in 2018. Under the leadership of the National Nutrition Council, the coordinating agency for implementing nutrition-related programs, the Philippine Plan of Action for Nutrition was formulated. The Department of Science and Technology has the Pinoy Malnutrition Reduction Program that aims to prevent stunting among Filipino children. Local government units have established structures that could implement RA 11148. Barangay Nutrition Scholars are likewise present in every barangay. But despite all these, the stunting among marginalized Filipino children continues. The USTAAI believes that we can all help address this concern. We can invest part of our time, talent, and treasure as we reach out to marginalized families, enabling them to spin away from the vicious cycle of poverty by helping prevent stunting among their children. We can collaborate with government agencies, private individuals and institutions, and non-government organizations. We are now exploring partnerships with Caleruega Philippines in Batulao, Batangas, St. Clare College Life Skills for Life Success Program in Caloocan, and Pasig City Nutrition Committee. The prevention and elimination of stunting among Filipino children is a long, challenging, and tedious journey. But we can overcome all this with our determination to make a difference and God’s unending grace. By saving our children, the leaders of tomorrow, we are also helping build our nation. —————- Dr. Evelyn A.

There was a rare sight along the Fremont Street Experience over the weekend, which is no small statement. But this qualified: Tourists clad in Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari and F1 apparel descended on the entertainment promenade. “The number of F1 jerseys and jackets that were out during the day, through the weekend, was huge,” Neon City Festival CEO Jeff Victor said in a phone chat Tuesday. “The (F1) event happens at night, so they were like ‘Hey, this is pretty cool, there’s a festival going on at the same time, so our eyeballs get filled with more fun stuff during our visit.” The festival averaged 60,000 unique visitors per day and night, 180,000 total. That’s a 30-percent increase over those visiting downtown Las Vegas during F1 week in ‘23. Designed as an alternative event during the F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix, the first Neon City Festival was staged Friday, Saturday and Sunday throughout downtown. All three FSE stages and Downtown Las Vegas Event Center were in operation. Alison Wonderland, Seven Lions and TroyBoi performed at DTLVEC. Russell Dickerson, the All-American Rejects and Neon Trees took over 3rd Street Stage. That is just a sampling of the entertainment offered during the festival, which also presented ample Vegas F&B offerings, art installations, by Area15, and fireworks. Victor is also vice president of operations of Circa Hospitality Group. The company is co-owned by Derek Stevens, a leading visionary behind Neon City Festival. All downtown properties have been on board as partners. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority contributed at $1 million grant to kick off the event. The FSE partner hotels added about $500K, revenue produced by the SlotZilla zipline attraction inside the FSE canopy. NCF was created to help downtown hotels return business to at least average weekend levels during F1. “Last year was just so bad, and all we wanted the festival to do in year one was get us back to kind of normal, a normal weekend level,” Victor said. “It it did that, and a little more.” The exec said business at Circa’s departments were up anywhere from 20 to 35 percent over last year. Organizers have said the first NCF would be the debut of an ongoing event. The festival is planned to run as long as F1 is held in Vegas. “Just F1 can’t fill this town, and I don’t say that critically,” Victor said. “NASCAR alone couldn’t fill this town, with similar numbers. We usually don’t have weekends with just one thing going on. When NASCAR is here, there are many other things going on ... That’s how you fill up 150,000-plus rooms.” And, draw 180,00o to the heart of Las Vegas. Top out Carrot Top has called off his shows after his Dec. 27 performance, returning Jan. 27. Why? “Sex-change operation,” the entertainer born Scott Thompson texted Wednesday. “If you wanna see me perform still as a dude, make sure you see me soon.” A bunch of laughing emojis accompanied that text. For real, he said “just taking an extra week off from my normal January break. All is good.” Tease this ... A Las Vegas producer and multi-talented performer and TV-show host are working together on a fun, new production designed for Vegas. Early stages. Huge potential. Your VegasVille Moment I pulled into the City of Las Vegas parking garage for the Carolyn and Oscar Goodman mayoral sculpture and happened upon a gentleman parked on the same floor: Richard Bryan , the former Democratic governor of Nevada (1983-1989) and ex-U.S. Senator (1989-2001). This visit was a bit of a homecoming for Bryan, to a building he doesn’t recall fondly. His family’s first Las Vegas home was on 3rd Street and Lewis Avenue, just to the north of today’s City Hall annex. “It was a dreadful, two-story apartment,” said Bryan, who lived in the dwelling from age 4 1/2 to 6. “It wasn’t like we were in danger of freezing to death or anything, but even at age 4 I knew it was dreadful.” The Bryans moved to a home in the Huntridge neighborhood, a 1,000-square-foot home he said was “like a mansion, in the nicest subdivision in town.” That was in October 1943, when Huntridge Theater was being built. The theater was finished a year later, and little Richard went to his first matinee movie (he remembers it being a Laurel & Hardy flick), which he thought cost 14 cents. It was actually 25 cents. “So I had to panhandle, one penny at a time, to get into this movie,” Bryan said. “I did it. I got the 25 cents. But I hated to raise money then, and I hated all my entire political career. I still do.” Cool Hang Alert Sax great Jimmy Carpenter plays the OG Sand Dollar Lounge on Polaris and Spring Mountain at 10 p.m. Friday. Jimmy always has the blues, and you will too. No cover.

Olympic gold medalist Lindsey Vonn returned to competition for the first time in almost six years on Saturday, as the 40-year-old American finished in the middle of the pack in her opening run in Copper Mountain, Colorado. The four-time overall World Cup champion retired in 2019 and underwent partial knee replacement surgery in April, returning to training in recent months and announcing her comeback in November. Vonn finished 24th out of 45 skiers in her first of two downhill runs in 1:07.23, 1.44 seconds slower than winner Mirjam Puchner of Austria at the lower-level FIS Fall Festival. "Today was a solid start and I had a blast being in start with my teammates again," Vonn wrote on social media . "While I'm sure people will speculate and say I'm not in top form because of the results, I disagree. This was training for me. "I'm still testing equipment and getting back in the groove. This is only the beginning and the way I'm skiing is more important than the times at this point." Vonn had retired as the most decorated woman in alpine skiing with 82 World Cup wins, a record that was overtaken as her compatriot Mikaela Shiffrin amassed 99 wins and counting.
