My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York

“My Cemetery Friends” is back in the global limelight, set to be highlighted at the Frankfurt Book Fair and The Word on the Street Toronto.

In “My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York”, Tomeo masterfully guides readers on a contemplative journey through life’s fleeting moments, all while walking the tranquil paths of a cemetery. Serving as a tribute to military personnel, loved ones, and even the forgotten, this 80-page book delves into themes of connection, compassion, and the six degrees of separation, illustrating how even the briefest encounters can spark a chain of meaningful experiences.

Tomeo’s participation in global literary events has long underscored his international influence. Following his appearances at two of the most prominent book fairs earlier this year, his presence at both the Toronto and Frankfurt fairs this fall further cements his standing in contemporary literature.

The Word On The Street Toronto Book and Magazine Festival, Canada’s largest celebration of literacy and Canadian writing, will occur at Queen’s Park Crescent East, Toronto, from September 28-29, 2024. Visitors will find Tomeo’s book showcased at The Maple Staple Booth in Zone B, near Stage B: Across The Universe, among a vibrant lineup of authors, publishers, and literary exhibitors. This bustling marketplace invites visitors to engage with authors, attend readings, and participate in various activities, creating an immersive literary experience.

Following this event, Tomeo’s book will be displayed at the 76th Frankfurt Book Fair from October 16-20, 2024, at Hall 5.1, Stand C35, Meese Frankfurt. As the largest book fair in the world, with representation from over 100 countries, the Frankfurt Book Fair is a premier global hub for literature, culture, and intellectual exchange. Tomeo’s work will stand alongside a wide array of international literary voices, placing him at the center of this prestigious event. Visitors are invited to stop by the booth and pick up complimentary copies of the book.

Vincent J. Tomeo, a native of Corona, Queens, NYC, has an illustrious career that spans decades and continents, with his poetry reaching audiences in Australia, South Korea, Spain, Italy, and other parts of the globe. His accolades include an Honorable Mention in the Rainer Maria Rilke International Poetry Competition and having his poem, "A View from a Tower in Calabria, Italy," sculpted into marble in Italy. In 2018, Tomeo received the Best Overall Free Verse award from United Poets Laureate International for his poignant poem, "I Visited the Grave of Marine Michael D. Glover." His work has been featured in unique venues, such as his poem "Idaho," which is framed and displayed at the Idaho Potato Museum.

In 2021, two of Tomeo's poems, "Belleau Wood 2020" and "Remembering A Corona Marine, US Marine, Private William Frederick Moore," were chosen to be distributed and read in schools as part of the Aisne-Marne (WWI) Cemetery Project in Belleau, France. His latest book, “My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York,” has received significant acclaim, earning three prestigious seals from Pacific Book Review, US Review of Books, and Hollywood Book Reviews, and being included in the Vatican City archives. This fall, Tomeo is yet to achieve another milestone to his name as he joins two premier international book events, reaffirming his place as a celebrated voice in contemporary literature.

Readers and literary enthusiasts attending The Word On The Street Toronto Book and Magazine Festival or the Frankfurt Book Fair are invited to explore “My Cemetery Friends: A Garden of Encounters at Mount Saint Mary in Queens, New York” at The Maple Staple Booth. Discover Tomeo’s compelling narrative style and his profound reflections on the beauty found in life’s unexpected encounters by purchasing a copy of his book on Amazon.

The lawsuit was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, against Neptune Resources, LLC; Super Chill CBD Products; and Hometown Market, who are named as manufacturers, distributors and/or sellers of Neptune's Fix. The litigation is led by Feldman Shepherd shareholders John M. Dodig and Jason A. Daria.

According to the suit, Neptune's Fix, marketed as a dietary supplement, contains tianeptine, an unapproved antidepressant drug which is advertised as "Happiness in a Bottle." The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued warnings about adverse reactions from products containing tianeptine, including seizures, coma and death. In January 2024, after Cornier's death, Neptune Resources voluntarily recalled Neptune's Fix Elixir.

New Jersey officials, including U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, Jr., have highlighted the dangerous and addictive properties of Neptune's Fix and other products containing tianeptine, leading to calls for stricter regulation and enforcement to protect public health.

The Ocean County Medical Examiner concluded that Cornier's death was caused by the adverse effect of tianeptine with THC, which the lawsuit attributes to Cornier's consumption of Neptune's Fix.

"Matthew Cornier was a devoted and loving son, brother, friend, and fiancé to his longtime girlfriend and soulmate. Matt did not have a history of health issues or addiction.  He bought Neptune's Fix thinking that it was a dietary supplement, that it was safe, and that it would help him focus at work as a talented and up-and-coming Graphic Design Artist.  He purchased it at a local convenience store, not some back alley. Neptune Resources and other companies that have put tianeptine-containing products into the marketplace must be held legally accountable when their products cause deaths and serious injuries," Dodig said.

"No one should die because they drank a small energy drink that they purchased at a local convenience store. We hope that this lawsuit will shine a spotlight on this public health concern and prompt the companies behind products with tianeptine to take immediate action to remove them from the marketplace," Daria said.

Nansen G. Saleri, chairman of the Omnis Technical Advisory Board

— Nansen G. Saleri, chairman of the Omnis Technical Advisory Board

PENN VALLEY, PA, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Omnis Energy is transforming an old, coal-fired power plant in Pleasants County, WV into the world’s first commercial coal-to-hydrogen net-zero power plant with high-value graphite co-products. In mid-August 2024, Omnis Energy demonstrated the operation of its patented Quantum technology at the Pleasants site, featuring ultra-high-temperature pyrolysis at 3,600 degrees Celsius.

“This process breaks the assumption that fossil fuels and the green economy are mutually exclusive,” said Nansen G. Saleri, chairman of the Omnis Technical Advisory Board, “This is truly a special moment. We are powering the green economy with the aim of becoming the pre-eminent force toward net zero.”

Omnis Energy President Rich Hulme stated, “We will have numerous modules in the ultimate commercial facility.” “We have heard and participated in presentations by others that have talked about how the industry in general is trying to achieve a goal of roughly $2,000 a ton for the production of hydrogen,” he said. “Our all-in cost of production should put us roughly around $100 a ton.”

While hydrogen is widely recognized as the net-zero fuel of the future, the co-products are also critical to the future. Graphite is in demand for batteries, steel manufacturing, and enhanced composite materials. Currently, 80% of the world’s graphite is produced in China, with no significant production in the United States. Graphene, a derivative of graphite, is 200 times stronger than steel and is used for electronic circuits, solar cells, sensors, biomedical applications, and liquid crystal displays.

Saleri is one of several quality speakers slated to participate in Appalachian Hydrogen & Carbon Capture Conference VI. The all-day program, organized by the Hydrogen-Carbon Storage & Sequestration (H2-CCS) Network and Shale Directories, will be held on Nov. 7 at the Hilton Garden Inn Pittsburgh Southpointe.

“Omnis Energy’s innovative approach to upgrading inexpensive, abundant coal to provide net zero emissions hydrogen energy with critically important graphite seems like science fiction,” stated Tom Gellrich, CEO and Founder of H2-CC2 Network, “We are excited to see it come to life.”

In coming years, Omnis Energy aims to retrofit existing power plants throughout the United States and beyond with its patented high-performance hydrogen burners using various fossil resources (coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, or blend) as feedstock. These burners enable the efficient and clean burning of hydrogen fuel, thus eliminating millions of metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
When fully operational, the Pleasants County plant will produce 1300 megawatts of power generating capacity, enough electricity to sustain 1 million homes. The process is designed to capture 100 percent of any greenhouse gases produced.

AnaKacia Shifflet's book "Throwing Paint", released earlier this year, is the inspiration for the new non-profit organization The Painted Dress Project she is currently launching.

AnaKacia's daughter Laila Shifflet models one of her mother's original designs and the dress she will paint live tomorrow at Basecamp Book in Colorado Springs.

Each painted dress is a unique art object featuring different colors and techniques. Fatima Stansell-Gordon models one such dress from a fashion show in Denver, CO.

The Painted Dress Project Has Been Launched To Raise Awareness About Long COVID

— AnaKacia Shifflet

“Each dress I paint is named for and dedicated to someone dealing with chronic illness,” says Shifflet. “The inspiration for each dress comes from their story, their journey.”

She has named the dress being painted tomorrow the Remi Dress for a beautiful young woman who has been left with several disabilities from Long COVID; Shifflet has gotten to know Remi from their shared commitment to Long COVID activism.

“Remi is a chronic illness and mental health advocate,” says Shifflet. “She is sweet, young, and loving. I wanted to create something that fits that vibe. I felt that this design with the shorter petal skirt and sweetheart neckline was perfect. I am combining the colors of red (for energy) blue (for calm) to make different hues of purple. Purple is both uplifting and calming, it promotes harmony of the mind and emotions creating stability.”

AnaKacia Shifflet’s personal story and art therapy projected now known as The Painted Dress Project provides a unique take on living with Long COVID. Throwing Paint details her experi-ences, and the Painted Dress Project is non-profit organization that has been launched this year to raise awareness both locally and nationally about the ongoing challenges faced every day by people living with Long COVID.

“This experience has given me the motivation and the drive to support and bring awareness to misunderstood chronic conditions like Long COVID, MECFS, Lymes, and other devastat-ing conditions,” says Shifflet. “The Painted Dress Project helps me connect more deeply with a community that desperately needs to be seen and heard. We want to find a way to lift some of the heaviness of disease especially when even our closest friends and family don’t understand – we want people with Long COVID to know that there is someone in their corner.”

Anakacia has since emerged as a national leader on this subject, even sharing the podium with Governor Polis last year at a statewide issues conference.

“Basecamp Books and Adventure is excited to host AnaKacia for this truly one of a kind event,” says Joe Shearer, who along with his wife Mikayla own Basecamp Books and Adventure. “Healing through creative practice is something that deeply resonates with us, and the book community. We believe her book and her work as an artist is of incredible importance and we are proud to host this for the public.”

Highlights

• Net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. was $230.4 million for fiscal 2024 compared to net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. of $268.1 million for fiscal 2023.
• Resort Reported EBITDA was $825.1 million for fiscal 2024, which included an $11.1 million negative impact related to Crans-Montana, including negative $7.9 million from acquisition, closing, and integration expenses and negative $3.2 million from operating results in the fourth quarter. Resort Reported EBITDA was $834.8 million for fiscal 2023.
• Pass product sales through September 20, 2024 for the upcoming 2024/2025 North American ski season decreased approximately 3% in units and increased approximately 3% in sales dollars as compared to the prior year period through September 22, 2023. These figures are adjusted to eliminate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates by applying current U.S. dollar exchange rates to both current period and prior period sales for Whistler Blackcomb.
• The Company announced a two-year resource efficiency transformation plan including scaled operations, global shared services, and expanded workforce management to create organizational effectiveness and scale for operating leverage as the Company expands and grows globally. The Company expects to achieve $100 million in annualized savings by the end of fiscal 2026 before one-time costs, with approximately $27 million realized in fiscal 2025 before $15 million of one-time costs.
• The Company provided its outlook for fiscal 2025 and expects net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. to be between $224 million and $300 million and Resort Reported EBITDA to be between $838 million and $894 million. This outlook reflects an expected Resort Reported EBITDA decline in Australia of $10 million for the first fiscal quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year, an estimated $15 million impact related to one-time costs in support of the Company's resource efficiency transformation plan, and an estimated $1 million impact related to acquisition and integration related expenses specific to Crans-Montana.
• The Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.22 per share of Vail Resorts' common stock that will be paid on October 24, 2024 to shareholders of record as of October 8, 2024. In addition, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares during the quarter at an average price of approximately $180 per share for a total of $25 million. For the full fiscal year, the Company repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares, or 1.9% of shares outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal 2024, at an average price of approximately $208 per share for a total of $150 million. The Board of Directors increased the Company's authorization for share repurchases by 1.1 million shares to approximately 1.7 million shares.

Commenting on the Company's fiscal 2024 results, Kirsten Lynch, Chief Executive Officer, said, "Our overall results for the year highlight the stability and resilience of our advance commitment strategy. Skier visitation declined 9.5% compared to the prior year, driven by unfavorable conditions across our resorts in North America and Australia, combined with the impact of broader industry normalization post-COVID following record visitation in North America during the 2022/2023 ski season. In North America, snowfall across our western resorts was down 28% from the prior year and our eastern U.S. resorts experienced limited natural snow and variable temperatures. Despite industry normalization and challenging conditions, Resort Reported EBITDA, excluding the impact of the Crans-Montana acquisition, remained consistent with prior year results. Performance was supported by strong growth in ancillary spending per visit across ski school, dining, and rental businesses at our resorts, and by strong delivery of the guest experience and cost discipline across our operations."

Regarding the Company's fiscal 2024 fourth quarter results, Lynch said, "Fourth quarter Resort Reported EBITDA declined from the prior year and expectations, primarily driven by underperformance in our Australian winter business. During the fourth quarter, snowfall at our Australian resorts declined 28% from the prior year and was 44% below the ten-year average. The challenging conditions, combined with softer demand heading into the winter season, negatively impacted Australian skier visitation, which declined 18% in the quarter relative to the prior year period. In our North America summer mountain business, while results underperformed our expectations, we were pleased to see 15% revenue growth versus prior year from fewer weather-related and construction-related disruptions."

Operating Results

A more complete discussion of our operating results can be found within the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section of the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, which was filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The discussion of operating results below compares the results for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024 to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, unless otherwise noted. The following are segment highlights:

Mountain Segment

• Total lift revenue increased $21.9 million, or 1.5%, to $1,442.8 million primarily due to an increase in pass revenue of 9.4%, which was primarily driven by an increase in pass product sales for the 2023/2024 North American ski season compared to the prior year, partially offset by a decrease in non-pass revenue of 10.7%, primarily driven by challenging conditions at our North American resorts for a large portion of the season compared to the prior year, as well as broader industry normalization post-COVID following record visitation in North America during the 2022/2023 ski season, and a decrease in non-pass revenue at our Australian resorts as a result of decreased visitation from weather-related challenges that impacted terrain during the 2023 and 2024 Australian ski seasons, compared to record visitation and favorable snow conditions in the 2022 Australian ski season. The decrease in non-pass revenue was partially offset by an increase in non-pass Effective Ticket Price ("ETP") of 11.2%.
• Ski school revenue increased $17.3 million, or 6.0% and dining revenue increased $2.9 million, or 1.3%, both primarily as a result of an increase in guest spending per visit at our North American resorts. Retail/rental revenue decreased $44.3 million, or 12.3%, for which retail sales decreased $29.2 million, or 13.8%, and rental sales decreased $15.2 million, or 10.1%. The decrease in both retail and rental revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in skier visitation which impacted sales at our on-mountain retail outlets in North America, as well as our exit of certain leased store operations which we operated in the prior year, which resulted in a revenue reduction of approximately $18.2 million.
• Operating expense increased $24.4 million, or 1.4%, which was primarily attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses, property tax expense, and repairs and maintenance expense, partially offset by reduced labor hours at our North American resorts in the current year as a result of challenging weather conditions that existed for a large portion of the season, which impacted our ability to operate at full capacity, as well as disciplined cost management.
• Mountain Reported EBITDA decreased $20.5 million, or 2.5%, which includes $23.2 million of stock-based compensation for fiscal 2024 compared to $21.2 million in the prior year.

Lodging Segment

• Lodging segment net revenue (excluding payroll cost reimbursements) decreased $3.3 million, or 1.0%, primarily due to a decrease in revenue from managed condominium rooms as a result of a reduction in our inventory of available managed condominium rooms proximate to our mountain resorts, as well as decreased demand, including the impact of decreased skier visitation driven by challenging weather conditions at our North American resorts for a large portion of the season compared to the prior year. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in revenue from owned hotel rooms, primarily due to an increase in revenue at Grand Teton Lodge Company as a result of improved visitation which was assisted by favorable weather conditions, and which enabled increased room pricing for owned hotel rooms and resulted in higher Average Daily Rate ("ADR").
• Operating expense (excluding reimbursed payroll costs) decreased $14.1 million, or 4.5%, which was primarily attributable to lower staffing required to support a reduced inventory of managed condominium rooms and a reduction in labor hours as a result of decreased demand.
• Lodging Reported EBITDA increased $10.8 million, or 87.6%, which includes $3.3 million of stock-based compensation expense in fiscal 2024 compared to $4.0 million in the prior year.

Resort - Combination of Mountain and Lodging Segments

• Resort net revenue was $2,880.5 million for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $0.8 million, compared to resort net revenue of $2,881.3 million for fiscal 2023.
• Resort Reported EBITDA was $825.1 million for fiscal 2024, a decrease of $9.7 million, or 1.2%, compared to fiscal 2023.

Total Performance

• Total net revenue decreased $4.2 million, or 0.1%, to $2,885.2 million for fiscal 2024.
• Net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. was $230.4 million, or $6.07 per diluted share, for fiscal 2024 compared to net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. of $268.1 million, or $6.74 per diluted share, in fiscal 2023. The decrease in net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. was primarily due to: (i) an increase in our provision for income taxes, primarily due to an increase in net unfavorable discrete items impacting the tax provision in fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year; (ii) decreased Resort Reported EBITDA; (iii) an increase in interest expense due to an increase in variable interest rates associated with the unhedged portion of our term loan borrowings under our U.S. credit agreement during fiscal 2024 compared to the prior year; and (iv) an increase in depreciation and amortization expense, primarily due to capital projects recently completed at our resorts and assets acquired at Crans-Montana.

Season Pass Sales

Pass product sales through September 20, 2024 for the upcoming 2024/2025 North American ski season decreased approximately 3% in units and increased approximately 3% in sales dollars as compared to the period in the prior year through September 22, 2023. Pass sales dollars are benefiting from an 8% price increase relative to the 2023/2024 season, partially offset by the mix impact from the growth of Epic Day Pass products. Pass product sales are adjusted to eliminate the impact of foreign currency by applying an exchange rate of $0.74 between the Canadian dollar and U.S. dollar in both periods for Whistler Blackcomb pass sales.

Commenting on the Company's season pass sales, Lynch said, "For the period between May 29, 2024 and September 20, 2024, pass product sales trends improved relative to spring pass product sales through May 28, 2024, with unit growth approximately flat and sales dollars growth of approximately 5% as compared to the period in the prior year May 31, 2023 through September 22, 2023 due to expected renewal strength following the Memorial Day deadline, which we believe reflects delayed decision-making.

"Season to date through September 20, 2024, the pass business achieved growth among renewing pass holders, demonstrating strong loyalty among our most tenured pass holders (those that have had a pass for three years or more) to the guest experience at our mountain resorts and the compelling value proposition of our pass products. The decline in total units versus last year was driven by a decline in new pass holders. Within new pass holders, we saw growth from guests who previously purchased passes but did not buy a pass in the previous season, offset by a decline of new pass purchases from guests in our database who purchased lift tickets in the past season, as well as a decline from guests who are completely new to our database. The decline in lift ticket visitation in the past season, driven by challenging weather and industry normalization, reduced that audience size of guests to drive conversion into pass holders, and the weather may have delayed the decision-making timing for new guests. Overall, unit performance is consistent across destination and local guest segments, and Epic Day Pass products achieved modest unit growth driven by the strength in renewing pass holders. As we enter the final period for season pass sales, we expect our December 2024 season to date growth rates to be relatively consistent with our September 2024 season to date growth rates."

Resource Efficiency Transformation Plan 

Commenting on the Company's multi-year resource efficiency transformation plan, Lynch said, "Over the past decade, Vail Resorts has expanded significantly, growing from 10 to 42 owned and operated mountain resorts, more than doubling our workforce. During that expansion, the Company captured initial acquisition synergies in corporate support functions and technology integration. However, as we have shared publicly over the past two years, the Company has a unique opportunity to further transform resource efficiency given the scale of our 42 owned and operated mountain resorts, a common enterprise-wide technology ecosystem, and robust data and analytics capabilities.

"The Company is implementing a two-year resource efficiency transformation plan to create organizational effectiveness and scale for operating leverage as the Company expands and grows globally. The transformation plan is focused on three pillars: scaled operations, a global shared services model and guest support center, and an expansion of workforce management. We expect that the transformation plan will achieve $100 million in annualized cost efficiencies by the end of fiscal 2026, with approximately $27 million to be realized in fiscal 2025 and approximately $67 million realized in fiscal 2026, all before one-time costs.

"We expect the efficiencies to be partially offset by one-time operating expenses of approximately $15 million in fiscal 2025 and approximately $14 million in fiscal 2026. In addition, we expect capital investments of approximately $6 million in calendar year 2025 and approximately $12 million in calendar year 2026. The Company's Mission is to create an Experience of a Lifetime for our guests. The transformation plan is designed to prioritize delivering the Company's Mission, while also providing operating leverage for future growth."

Guidance

The Company is providing its initial guidance for the year ending July 31, 2025 and expects net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. to be between $224 million and $300 million for fiscal 2025. The Company expects Resort Reported EBITDA for fiscal 2025 to be between $838 million and $894 million, including an estimated $15 million in one-time costs related to the multi-year resource efficiency transformation plan and an estimated $1 million of acquisition and integration related expenses specific to Crans-Montana. As compared to fiscal 2024, fiscal 2025 guidance includes the assumed benefit of a return to normal weather conditions after the challenging conditions in fiscal 2024, more than offset by a return to normal operating costs and the impact of the continued industry normalization, impacting demand. Additionally, the guidance reflects the negative impact from the record low snowfall and related shortened season in Australia in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, which is expected to result in a $10 million decline of Resort Reported EBITDA compared to the prior year period. After considering these items, we expect Resort Reported EBITDA to grow from price increases and ancillary spending, the resource efficiency transformation plan, and the addition of Crans-Montana for the full year. At the midpoint, the guidance implies an estimated Resort EBITDA Margin for fiscal 2025 to be approximately 28.6%, or 29.1% before one-time costs from the resource efficiency transformation plan and integration expenses.

The guidance is based on certain assumptions, including (1) a continuation of the current economic environment, (2) normal weather conditions for the 2024/2025 North American and European ski season and the 2025 Australian ski season, and reflects the challenging conditions in Australia for the end of the 2024 winter ski season, and (3) an exchange rate of $0.74 between the Canadian Dollar and U.S. Dollar related to the operations of Whistler Blackcomb in Canada, an exchange rate of $0.67 between the Australian Dollar and U.S. Dollar related to the operations of Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham in Australia, and an exchange rate of $1.18 between the Swiss Franc and U.S. Dollar related to the operations of Andermatt-Sedrun and Crans Montana in Switzerland.

The following table reflects the forecasted guidance range for the Company's fiscal year ending July 31, 2025 for Total Reported EBITDA (after stock-based compensation expense) and reconciles net income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. guidance to such Total Reported EBITDA guidance.

Liquidity and Return of Capital

As of July 31, 2024, the Company's total liquidity as measured by total cash plus revolver availability was approximately $946 million. Total liquidity is comprised of $323 million of cash on hand, $408 million of U.S. revolver availability under the Vail Holdings Credit Agreement, and $215 million of revolver availability under the Whistler Credit Agreement. As of July 31, 2024, the Company's Net Debt was 3.0 times its trailing twelve months Total Reported EBITDA. Regarding the return of capital to shareholders, the Company declared a quarterly cash dividend of $2.22 per share of Vail Resorts' common stock that will be paid on October 24, 2024 to shareholders of record as of October 8, 2024. In addition, during the quarter, the Company repurchased approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock at an average price of approximately $180 for a total of $25 million. For the full fiscal year, the Company repurchased a total of approximately 0.7 million shares of common stock during fiscal 2024 at an average price of approximately $208 for a total of $150 million. Additionally, the Board of Directors increased the Company's authorization for share repurchases by 1.1 million shares to approximately 1.7 million shares.

Commenting on capital allocation, Lynch said, "We will continue to be disciplined stewards of our shareholders' capital, prioritizing investments in our guest and employee experience, high-return capital projects, strategic acquisition opportunities, and returning capital to our shareholders. The Company has a strong balance sheet and remains focused on returning capital to shareholders while always prioritizing the long-term value of our shares."

Capital Investments

Commenting on the Company's investments for the 2024/2025 North American ski season, Lynch said, "We remain dedicated to delivering an exceptional guest experience and will continue to prioritize reinvesting in the experience at our resorts, including consistently increasing capacity through lift, terrain and food and beverage expansion projects. As previously announced, we expect our capital plan for calendar year 2024 to be approximately $189 million to $194 million, excluding incremental capital investments in premium fleet and fulfillment infrastructure to support the official launch of My Epic Gear for the 2024/2025 winter season, growth capital investments at Andermatt-Sedrun, reimbursable capital, and investments at Crans-Montana.  

"At Whistler Blackcomb, the Company plans to replace the four-person high speed Jersey Cream lift with a new six-person high speed lift. This lift is expected to provide a meaningful increase to uphill capacity and better distribute guests at a central part of the resort. At Hunter Mountain, we plan to replace the four-person fixed-grip Broadway lift with a new six-person high speed lift and plan to relocate the existing Broadway lift to replace the two-person fixed-grip E lift, providing a meaningful increase in uphill capacity and improved access to terrain that is key to the progressive learning experience for our guests. At Park City, we are in the planning process to support the approved replacement of the Sunrise lift with a new 10-person gondola in partnership with the Canyons Village Management Association in calendar year 2025, which will provide improved access and enhanced guest experience for existing and future developments within Canyons Village.

"At Park City and Hunter Mountain, beyond the planned lift investments, we plan to enhance snowmaking systems to improve the experience for key terrain, increase early season terrain consistency, and improve the efficiency through the installation of automated and energy-efficient snowguns. We also plan to further support the Company's Commitment to Zero by investing in waste reduction projects across our resorts to achieve the goal of zero waste to landfill by 2030. At Afton Alps, we plan to install a 10-lane tubing experience and renovate the existing Alpine Building to create a 200-seat restaurant to further enhance the guest experience. At Seven Springs, we plan to add 390 new parking spaces to increase capacity and improve the guest experience. At Perisher, in advance of the 2025 winter season in Australia, we plan to replace the Mt Perisher Double and Triple Chairs with a new six person high speed lift, with capital spending commencing in calendar year 2024 and continuing into calendar year 2025.

"In addition, we are continuing to invest in innovative technology to enhance the guest experience. In the coming year, we are investing in new functionality for the My Epic App, and expanding Mobile Pass and Mobile Lift Tickets to Whistler Blackcomb. At Vail Mountain, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, and Keystone, the Company plans to launch My Epic Assistant, a new technology within the My Epic app providing mountain information at guests' fingertips powered by advanced AI and resort experts. Across our resorts, we plan to pilot new technologies at select restaurants to make it both easier and faster for guests to dine at our resorts. In addition, in order to support the launch of My Epic Gear, we plan to invest in logistics and technology infrastructure to help deliver a transformational and elevated gear access experience for our guests.

"The 2023/2024 My Epic Gear pilot at Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, and Keystone delivered a strong guest experience to pilot participants and valuable learnings for the business launch. My Epic Gear provides its members with the ability to choose the gear they want, for the full season or for the day, from a selection of the most popular and latest ski and snowboard models, and have it delivered to them when and where they want it, including slopeside pick up and drop off every day. In addition to offering the latest skis and snowboards, My Epic Gear will also offer name brand, high-quality ski and snowboard boots with personalized insoles and boot fit scanning technology. The entire My Epic Gear membership, from gear selection to boot fit to personalized recommendations to delivery, will be at the members' fingertips in the new My Epic app.

The Company is launching My Epic Gear for the 2024/2025 winter season at 12 destination and regional resorts across North America, including kids gear, and will be limiting membership to 60,000 to 80,000 members in the first year as the business scales. To support the initial year of this new business, in calendar year 2024 the Company plans to invest an additional $13 million beyond our typical annual capital plan in incremental premium gear fleet and fulfillment infrastructure investment to support the anticipated growth of this business. We plan to provide additional updates on My Epic Gear and the on-going capital needs of the business in December.

"At Andermatt-Sedrun, we previously announced plans to invest approximately $11 million in growth capital projects as part of a multi-year strategic growth investment plan to enhance guest experience, which will be funded by the CHF 110 million capital that was invested as part of the purchase of our majority stake in Andermatt-Sedrun. As part of the calendar year 2024 investments, we are planning to upgrade and replace snowmaking infrastructure at the Sedrun-Milez area on the eastern side of the resort to enhance the guest experience for key beginner and intermediate terrain and significantly improve energy efficiency. In addition, we plan to invest in the on-mountain dining experience with improvements to the Milez and Natschen restaurants. These investments received partial regulatory approvals and are expected to be substantially completed ahead of the 2024/2025 European ski season, with the remainder of the work being completed in calendar year 2025. As a result, calendar year 2024 investment costs are now expected to be $8 million.

"Including $13 million of incremental capital investments in premium fleet and fulfillment infrastructure to support the official launch of My Epic Gear, $8 million of growth capital investments at Andermatt-Sedrun, $1 million of reimbursable capital, and investments at Crans-Montana, which include $3 million of maintenance capital expenditures and $2 million associated with integration activities, our total capital plan for calendar year 2024 is expected to be approximately $216 million to $221 million."

Regarding calendar year 2025 expenditures, Lynch said, "In addition to this year's significant investments, we are pleased to highlight some select projects from our calendar year 2025 capital plan, with the full capital investment announcement planned for December 2024, including a core capital plan consistent with the Company's long-term capital guidance. At Park City, we are replacing the Sunrise lift with a new 10-person gondola in partnership with the Canyons Village Management Association, which will provide improved access and enhanced guest experience for existing and future developments within Canyons Village. At Perisher, in advance of the 2025 winter season in Australia, we plan to replace the Mt Perisher Double and Triple Chairs with a new six person high speed lift, with capital spending commencing in calendar year 2024 and continuing into calendar year 2025. These projects are subject to approvals."

Statement Concerning Non-GAAP Financial Measures

When reporting financial results, we use the terms Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Real Estate Cash Flow, which are not financial measures under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). Resort Reported EBITDA, Total Reported EBITDA, Resort EBITDA Margin, Net Debt and Net Real Estate Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to, or substitute for, measures of financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, we report segment Reported EBITDA (i.e. Mountain, Lodging and Real Estate), the measure of segment profit or loss required to be disclosed in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures of other companies. Additionally, with respect to discussion of impacts from currency, the Company calculates the impact by applying current period foreign exchange rates to the prior period results, as the Company believes that comparing financial information using comparable foreign exchange rates is a more objective and useful measure of changes in operating performance.

Reported EBITDA (and its counterpart for each of our segments) has been presented herein as a measure of the Company's performance. The Company believes that Reported EBITDA is an indicative measurement of the Company's operating performance, and is similar to performance metrics generally used by investors to evaluate other companies in the resort and lodging industries. The Company defines Resort EBITDA Margin as Resort Reported EBITDA divided by Resort net revenue. The Company believes Resort EBITDA Margin is an important measurement of operating performance. The Company believes that Net Debt is an important measurement of liquidity as it is an indicator of the Company's ability to obtain additional capital resources for its future cash needs. Additionally, the Company believes Net Real Estate Cash Flow is important as a cash flow indicator for its Real Estate segment. See the tables provided in this release for reconciliations of our measures of segment profitability and non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Reconciliation of Measures of Segment Profitability and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Presented below is a reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to Vail Resorts, Inc. to Total Reported EBITDA for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following table reconciles long-term debt, net to Net Debt and the calculation of Net Debt to Total Reported EBITDA for the twelve months ended July 31, 2024.

The following table reconciles Real Estate Reported EBITDA to Net Real Estate Cash Flow for the three and twelve months ended July 31, 2024 and 2023.

The following table reconciles Resort net revenue to Resort EBITDA Margin for the year ended July 31, 2024 and fiscal 2025 guidance.

In a groundbreaking decision, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals has reversed the lower court's dismissal of key claims filed under the District of Columbia Consumer Protection Procedures Act (CPPA). This ruling holds that the District of Columbia, through its Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), can be liable under the CPPA as a "merchant" when it facilitates the sale of substandard housing through government programs.

Background

The plaintiffs in this case are homebuyers who were promised affordable, habitable housing through the HPAP program. Shortly after moving into their units, the plaintiffs reported numerous issues with their brand new homes, including foundational cracks, sewage odors, mold, leaks, and electrical issues—all of which rendered their homes uninhabitable. Despite repeated requests for repairs and pleas for help from the District, these issues persisted, ultimately resulting in mandatory evacuations from their homes. The general contractors, Stanton View Dev., LLP and RiverEast at Anacostia, LLP, who received approval of the project and over $6 million dollars from the District, later filed for bankruptcy, leaving the homeowners with little recourse.

After Judge Lopez dismissed key claims against the District, including violations under the CPPA, the plaintiffs, represented by May Jung LLP, appealed the decision. On September 12, 2024, the D.C. Court of Appeals issued a ruling that reversed and remanded the dismissal of the CPPA claim, re-opening the door for the plaintiffs to pursue justice for the unfair and deceptive practices' claims alleged against the District.

Why This Ruling Is Important

This decision is unprecedented and marks a critical victory for housing justice and consumer protection in the District of Columbia. The Court of Appeals held that the District is a "merchant" under the CPPA under these facts, allowing claims for unfair and deceptive practices to proceed against the government entity for its role in facilitating the sale of uninhabitable housing. This is a significant step toward ensuring that government agencies are held accountable for their role in administering housing programs and protecting the rights of vulnerable homebuyers.

"This decision affirms the principle that nobody is above the law, including government entities, especially when consumers are harmed in such egregious ways related to their homes," said Je Yon Jung, lead counsel for the plaintiffs. "Our clients did everything that the District required of them to participate in the American dream of homeownership. Instead, they have been forced to spend years in a house of horrors and nightmares fighting for accountability and justice. While we awaited the court of appeal's correction of the dismissal of the District from the original case filed in early 2021, we have continued to litigate against several subcontractors and individuals involved with this property. To date, nobody has taken accountability for this debacle. We look forward to holding the District and all of the other responsible parties accountable."

Implications for Future Cases

This ruling not only provides the plaintiffs with the opportunity to pursue their claims but also sets a new legal precedent for holding government entities responsible under consumer protection laws. The case will return to the trial court before Judge Yvonne Williams for further proceedings, where the plaintiffs will pursue their CPPA claim, and will be consolidated with other cases involving the subcontractors and the individual owners of the bankrupt entities.

May Jung, LLP filed a related case in federal U.S. District Court alleging unconstitutional takings and first amendment retaliation against the District. May Jung LLP will continue to represent the plaintiffs as they fight for fair treatment, and the right to live in safe, habitable homes.

Banks and credit unions win primary financial institution status with Swaystack's gamified onboarding and engagement platform in Q2 Digital Banking.

Har Rai and Simran are second- time founders who share a passion for helping banks and credit unions compete with megabank and neobank technology.

Gamify onboarding in digital banking to win primary financial institution and top of wallet status.

Financial Institutions can now provide gamified onboarding and personalized engagement to customers through Q2’s Digital Banking Platform

— Har Rai Khalsa, CEO & Co-founder of Swaystack

The Q2 Partner Accelerator is a program through the Q2 Innovation Studio that allows in-demand financial services companies who are leveraging the Q2 Software Development Kit (SDK) to pre-integrate their technology to the Q2 Digital Banking Platform.

“Swaystack is honored to join the Q2 Partner Accelerator program, furthering our mission to help banks and credit unions compete with neobank and megabank personalized onboarding and engagement,” said Har Rai Khalsa, Swaystack’s CEO and Co-founder. “Banks and credit unions face a dual strain: coming out of pocket to acquire account holders, while nearly half of those accounts go inactive. In an effort to win primary financial institution and top of wallet status, we must earn the direct deposit relationship and help consumers put their card on-file with popular merchants.”

What are the primary reasons new accounts go inactive?
• Funding never happens • Direct deposit never gets set up • Debit cards are seldom used

Swaystack’s integration with the Q2 Digital Banking Platform means banks and credit unions can deliver gamified onboarding and personalized engagement day one to deal with the most common challenges that financial institutions face when onboarding new customers:

• Funding: Facilitate immediate funding with Instant Account Verification (IAV) • Direct Deposit: Switch direct deposit seamlessly by connecting with payroll providers • Debit Card Usage: Update card-on-file with APIs to popular merchants

Vail Resorts has expanded significantly over the past 10 years, from 10 owned and operated mountain resorts to 42 across four countries, more than doubling the size of the company's workforce. During that expansion, the company captured initial acquisition synergies in corporate support functions and through technology integrations, while investing more than $2 billion in the guest and employee experience and industry leading innovations. The company now has a unique opportunity to transform resource efficiency given the scale of its 42 owned and operated mountain resorts, its common enterprise technology ecosystem, and its robust data and analytics capabilities.

The two-year Resource Efficiency Transformation Plan is designed to improve organizational effectiveness and scale for operating leverage as the company grows. Through scaled operations, global shared services, and expanded workforce management, the company expects $100 million in annualized cost efficiencies by the end of its 2026 fiscal year.

"We believe this is a natural progression and next step for our company, that builds upon our success and paves the way for the next phase of growth," said Vail Resorts CEO Kirsten Lynch. "Our mission: to create an Experience of a Lifetime for our employees and our guests, galvanizes our company, as does our commitment to reinvesting for growth."

A portion of the cost efficiencies are position eliminations, impacting less than 2 percent of the company's total workforce, including 14 percent of its corporate workforce and less than 1 percent of the company's operations workforce. Impacts in operations are focused on management structure and back-end support structure, with only 0.2 percent impact on frontline roles. Impacted employees will have the opportunity to apply for open roles across the company.

"No matter how big or small the impact of position eliminations, we do not take lightly any decision that affects our team members," Lynch said. "Our team members are the core of our mission to create an Experience of a Lifetime, and we have tremendous gratitude for their passion and commitment to our mission, our mountains, and our guests."

The Transformation Plan includes three pillars: 

Scaled Operations: With 42 owned and operated mountain resorts, plus hospitality operations, as well as retail and rental operations, the company's operations leaders have developed substantial operating best practices and learnings on how the ski industry solves the same problems differently across the U.S., Canada, and Australia. The company now has an opportunity to capture acquisition synergies by leveraging those best practices and introducing new tools to scale the way operations are supported across the company. This will enable operations to focus on the guest experience and reduce the administrative burden on frontline managers.

Global Shared Services: As a part of the Transformation Plan, the company plans to consolidate and outsource its internal business services and call centers into best-in-class global shared services to support its North American businesses while creating a scalable model that can expand for future global expansion support. In addition to its 37 North American mountain resorts, the company owns and operates three mountain resorts in Australia – and over the past two years has expanded into Europe, with the purchase of Andermatt-Sedrun and Crans-Montana Mountain Resort in Switzerland.

Expanded Workforce Management: Vail Resorts recently implemented Workforce Management technology across its North American resorts to provide the company's frontline managers with the tools and data insights needed to allocate talent based on the guest experience and demand, resulting in more efficient use of hours. The tool also gives frontline team members visibility, access, and cross-training for available shifts in-resort and network-wide. The Transformation Plan includes an expansion of Workforce Management by leveraging best practice models, adding lines of businesses and departments, and adding new functionality.

"We are very pleased with the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit," stated a BMO spokesperson.

As a result of this outcome, in accordance with applicable accounting standards, BMO expects to reverse its current provision of CAD$1,190 million, which includes accrued interest, with respect to this matter, the details of which are set out in BMO's continuous disclosure material, resulting in an expected after-tax recovery of CAD$875 million to be recorded in the fourth quarter in the Corporate Services segment and treated as an adjusting item.

Cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements. All such statements are made pursuant to the "safe harbor" provisions of, and are intended to be forward-looking statements under, the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and any applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking statements in this press release may include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the expected reversal of the charge taken by BMO, including, but not limited to, the amount of the expected reversal of the charge and the related after-tax recovery, and the ultimate resolution of the Petters matter, which remains subject to the plaintiff's right to request a rehearing and any related appeal rights. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "expects" or negative or grammatical variations thereof.

By their nature, forward-looking statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific in nature. There is significant risk that predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections will not prove to be accurate, that our assumptions may not be correct, and that actual results may differ materially from such predictions, forecasts, conclusions or projections. We caution readers of this press release not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, as a number of factors – many of which are beyond our control and the effects of which can be difficult to predict – could cause actual future results, conditions, actions or events to differ materially from the targets, expectations, estimates or intentions expressed in the forward-looking statements.

The future outcomes that relate to forward-looking statements may be influenced by many factors, including, but not limited to: the final outcome of the Petter's matter, including the plaintiff's right to request a rehearing of the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit and any related appeal rights of both the plaintiff and BMO, as well as legal and other developments in litigation, such as the risk of judicial and/or jury rulings or findings or any resolution of litigation that differ from what is anticipated or expected, all of which could result in a potentially material provision and charge; the timing and determination of the amount of the reversal of the charge taken by BMO in connection with the Petters' matter and the related after-tax recovery; and those other factors discussed in the "Enterprise-Wide Risk Management" section of BMO's 2023 Annual Report, as updated by quarterly reports, all of which outline certain key factors and risks that may affect our future results and our ability to anticipate and effectively manage risks arising from all of the foregoing factors.

We caution that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all possible factors. Other factors and risks could adversely affect our results. Investors and others should carefully consider these factors and risks, as well as other uncertainties and potential events, and the inherent uncertainty of forward-looking statements. We do not undertake to update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time by us or on our behalf, except as required by law.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A Philadelphia jury's $725.5 Million verdict against ExxonMobil in a benzene case has been upheld by the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. The Court denied all of ExxonMobil's post-trial motions and added over $90 million in delay damages, to bring the total award to just under $816 Million. The verdict, which was obtained by Andrew DuPont of Locks Law Firm and Patrick Wigle and Rajeev Mittal of Waters Krause Paul & Siegel on behalf of Paul Gill and his wife Diane Gill, is a major victory for the plaintiffs and a significant setback for ExxonMobil.

The case stemmed from Mr. Gill's exposure to benzene contained in Mobil Oil gasoline when he worked as a mechanic and gasoline station attendant between 1974 and 1979. As a result of this exposure, he developed Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Over a 7-day trial this past spring, the jury heard evidence of Mr. Gill's exposures to benzene from gasoline, Mobil Oil's failure to warn him and the significant harm that he and his wife Diane Gill sustained as the result of his developing both Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Colon Cancer that metastasized to his liver.

ExxonMobil filed several motions following the verdict which sought to overturn or reduce the jury's verdict. In addition to denying the motions, the Court also ordered ExxonMobil to pay over $90 million in delay damages, bringing the total award to just under $816 million.

"The denial of the post-trial motions reinforces the jury's determination that ExxonMobil must be held responsible for causing Mr. Gill's injuries," said Andrew DuPont, a partner with Locks Law Firm. "It's important that we continue to fight to bring to light the cancer hazard of exposure to benzene in gasoline. Mr. and Mrs. Gill thank the Court for its careful review of ExxonMobil's assignments of error against the backdrop of the trial evidence and the jury's verdict. They hope that ExxonMobil and all companies that incorporate benzene into their products will take appropriate steps to prevent benzene exposure and prevent people like Mr. Gill from developing cancer and suffering the terrible effects of that disease."

The Gills' victory is a major step forward in the fight for justice for those who have been harmed by exposure to benzene. It is a reminder that our justice system is a powerful tool for protecting the rights of individuals.

The case is Paul Gill and Diane Gill v. ExxonMobil et al., Case ID 200501803, in Pennsylvania's First Judicial District.

Locks Law Firm's benzene team consistently obtains great results in benzene cases. DuPont, the leader of this team, has over 20 years of experience litigating benzene cases, making him one of the preeminent lawyers on the subject matter, with over 50 settlements. Mr. and Mrs. Gills' verdict was the largest ever in a benzene case.

About Locks Law Firm

With offices in Philadelphia, New York City and Cherry Hill, New Jersey, Locks Law Firm is known for protecting the rights of consumers throughout the country, as well as individuals and families who have suffered injuries or death as a result of the recklessness or negligence of another party including cases involving benzene, dangerous pharmaceuticals, toxic chemicals and asbestos.

"We're thrilled to bring our 1,250-guest Riviera to Alaska for the very first time," said Frank A. Del Rio, President of Oceania Cruises. "Our elegant, ultra-premium small-ship experience offers the perfect juxtaposition to Alaska's outdoor adventures, and with Riviera being 30 to 50 percent smaller than other premium cruise lines sailing in the region, we're able to bring our guests to lesser-known, more remote ports, for a true immersion into this fascinating destination."

The timeless allure of Alaska means it is a perfect destination for multi-generational gatherings; teens, parents, and grandparents alike will marvel at the majesty of the landscape and the amazing wildlife. Oceania Cruises' popular Alaska Explorer Youth Program is available on all voyages in the region in 2025. Designed for children between the ages of 5 to 12 years old, the program will include engaging games, activities, and Alaska-inspired special events, where young adventurers will be supervised by experienced and enthusiastic youth counselors.

To further enhance Oceania Cruises' robust cruise itineraries, guests have the option to include a pre- or post-cruise land program where they'll have the opportunity to explore even more of Alaska. Among the land programs offered is Discover Denali, where travelers will enjoy one show-stopping vista after another, including North America's highest peak, while exploring Denali National Park, the first national park created specifically to protect wildlife.

Covering a mind-blowing six million acres, Denali offers true insight into the 49th state. With over two full days in the park, Oceania Cruises' guests will revel in a fully escorted experience including travel by domed railcar and along scenic byways through the iconic wilds of Alaska. Wildlife-spotting opportunities abound – including bald eagles, caribou, and Dall sheep – alongside marveling at glacial-fed rivers and the chance to see the original ranger's cabin, once the only outpost in the vast park. The four day / three night program also features an Alaskan Native presentation on the history of the land and a natural history tour.

Shipboard Highlights of Riviera – The Only True Foodie Ship in Alaska

The beautifully reinspired 1,250-guest Riviera offers an unparalleled experience to curious world travelers. Guests will enjoy incredibly spacious standard staterooms measuring an astounding 291 square feet, with all categories of staterooms having been stunningly reimagined with luxurious furnishings, thoughtful design touches, and larger showers. Riviera is the only true foodie ship sailing in Alaska, boasting one chef for every 10 guests and seven open-seating gourmet restaurants including the four always included specialty dining venues: the Polo Grill Steakhouse; Italian Toscana; Asian-fusion Red Ginger; and French restaurant, Jacques.

In addition, Oceania Cruises incorporates the culinary scene of The Last Frontier into its guest experience through new hands-on cooking classes in The Culinary Center and the Chef's Market Dinners in the Terrace Café curated by the onboard culinary team using fresh, local ingredients from the region.

Savor Alaska – Oceania Cruises Culinary Shore Excursion Highlights

As the only true foodie ship sailing in Alaska, Oceania Cruises' Riviera offers an abundance of food-focused excursions where travelers can be immersed in the culinary scene of the 49th state.

Alaskan Coastal Brunch Escape & Cruise, Juneau: Cruise through the pristine waters of Juneau and onto a remote speck of an island in Stephens Passage for a classic Alaskan-style brunch. While cruising to the remote Colt Island, visitors will look for humpback whales and other marine life. After settling in, enjoy a hearty brunch at the seaside Orca Point Lodge featuring entrées prepared with locally sourced ingredients all while admiring the serenity of the setting and the panoramic views of the wilderness.

Exclusive Crabbing Experience, Ketchikan: Set out on a private charter to prime fishing grounds where you'll help the crew set crab pots and reel in Dungeness crabs, a true Alaskan delicacy. As the pots settle, enjoy fishing, breathtaking scenery, and insights into sustainable fishing practices. Once the catch is in, head to shore for a campfire feast featuring your fresh crabs in a saffron-infused bouillabaisse, followed by a rhubarb-blueberry crisp and hot coffee.

Exclusive Flightseeing & The Taste of Alaska, Ketchikan: Fly over the stunning Tongass National Forest in a DeHavilland Beaver floatplane, landing at Salmon Falls Resort for a feast of iconic Alaskan dishes.

After landing in Clover Pass Inlet, tour the fishing resort before enjoying a classic Alaskan lunch featuring crab cakes, soy-glazed salmon, and baked halibut.

Sitka Culinary Adventure, Sitka: Explore the gastronomy of Sitka, a city once known as the "Paris of the Pacific." As Alaska's second-largest seafood exporter, Sitka is a culinary hub with rich cultural influences. You'll sample locally brewed beers made with glacial water, taste versatile sea salts from Alaska Pure Sea Salt Company, and enjoy Russian dumplings at Sitka Pelmeni, honoring the city's Russian heritage. Additional tastings may include cod tips, reindeer hot dogs, ceviche, and chowder, all crafted with locally sourced ingredients.

Your catch will be prepared at Timbers Restaurant in the resort and paired with delicious side dishes.

Tongass Hike & Taste of Alaska, Ketchikan: Hike a challenging but rewarding two-mile coastal gravel trail through the Tongass National Forest, led by a guide who will point out local flora and fauna.

“Prize will help NFW tackle plastic health emergency. Microplastics may be the new asbestos, but worse,” said Dr. Luke Haverhals, CEO NFW.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 24, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Today, NFW, an innovative biomaterials company based in Peoria, Illinois, was announced as a Finalist for Prince William’s Earthshot Prize. As a Finalist, NFW is in the running to receive one of five £1 million prizes, which will be awarded at The Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony in Cape Town, South Africa on Wednesday 6 November.

NFW is the only company worldwide that’s replacing a range of petroleum-derived plastics with non-toxic biomaterials at scale in the fashion, footwear, and automotive industries with brands like BMW, H&M, Ralph Lauren, and Stella McCartney. NFW’s innovative plant-based materials span textiles, leather alternatives, outsoles, and foams.

The Earthshot Prize unveiled NFW as a Finalist in its fourth cohort of 15 Prize Finalists at the third-annual Earthshot Innovation Summit held at New York Climate Week, which includes global innovators, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and advocates pioneering solutions to our most pressing climate and environmental challenges.

This year’s Finalists were selected from nearly 2,500 nominees submitted by the Prize’s network of more than 430 nominators from 75 countries. The 15 Finalists were chosen by The Earthshot Prize based on assessments done by its selection partners and Expert Advisory Panel, a global group of more than 100 subject-matter experts with deep backgrounds in conservation, science, technology, business, finance, academia and policy.

“Today, we celebrate the incredible achievement, unwavering dedication and urgent optimism that drives our fourth class of Earthshot innovators,” said Prince William, Founder and President of The Earthshot Prize. “The passion of these Finalists is a testament to what can be achieved when we tap into the enormous creativity, ingenuity, and optimism of communities around the world. Representing every corner of the globe, these Finalists are leading the way in solving some of the most urgent environmental challenges. Their groundbreaking work is inspiring hope and action as we work to create a sustainable future for generations to come.”

“I am honored and grateful that Prince William and his leading partners and advisors have recognized our work and selected NFW as a Finalist for the Earthshot Prize, because we urgently need to solve the plastics waste and health emergency,” said Dr Luke Haverhals, Founder and CEO of NFW.

Microplastics may be the new asbestos, but worse. Microplastic pollution is much more ubiquitous than asbestos. It is literally everywhere—it's in the soil, the air, the water. We’re eating it, drinking it, and we are breathing it in. It’s no surprise researchers are therefore finding microplastics in nearly every part of the human body including our brain. We’re increasingly understanding the links to serious health problems like cancer, infertility, hormone disruption, and cognitive decline. Plastic is quite literally poisoning us and the planet.

NFW’s solution to this seemingly wicked problem is to create useful, beautiful materials that come from the Earth and can safely return to the Earth when they're done being used, staying within nature's own circular economy. We’ve developed biomaterials to replace plastic in fashion, footwear, and interiors. Instead of using crude oil to create synthetic plastics, we start with natural materials to create high-performance yarns, fabrics, foams, and outsoles—all from plants, not plastic.

Our system of materials makes it possible to replace not just a single plastic in a shoe made of a dozen different types of plastic, but to design the whole shoe – from outsole to midsole to upper – entirely without plastic. We are empowering consumer brands and designers to create plastic-free products and set new standards for their industry. Plastic-free design is critical to stop the deluge of toxic plastic waste from flooding the biosphere and our bodies.”

Said JB Pritzker, Governor of Illinois: “Since day one of my administration, we’ve taken bold steps to position Illinois as a national leader in the fight against climate change. From our nation-leading Climate and Equitable Jobs Act to our investments in environmental protections across the board, the global recognition of Peoria-based NFW is proof that Illinois is at the forefront of building a greener, more sustainable world.”

NFW was selected as a Finalist in the Earthshot Prize ‘Build A Waste Free World’ category for their unique solution to displacing plastics in fashion, footwear, and automotive. There are five categories in total that include: Protect and Restore Nature, Clean Our Air, Revive Our Oceans, Build A Waste-Free World and Fix Our Climate. The Illinois based company joins Finalists from six continents including the first Finalists from France, Ghana, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Nepal in a cohort the 2024 Earthshot Prize celebrates as its most competitive cohort to date.

As The Earthshot Prize continues its journey to repair and regenerate the planet, it has become a powerful global search engine unearthing the best environmental solutions and a platform for impact to catalyze critical investment and resources towards these solutions. Today’s announcement brings the number of global solutions honored as Prize Finalists to 60, a major milestone in The Prize’s efforts to uncover and elevate the most promising climate solutions around the world. The Prize has also helped unlock more than £75 million in direct and in-kind support for Finalists since its founding in 2020.

Market Driver

Asymmetric warfare, characterized by significant differences in military capabilities and strategies between opposing forces, has become prevalent in various global conflicts. Guerrilla warfare, a form of asymmetric warfare, is employed by militant groups who do not occupy large bases and instead use surprise attacks, ambushes, and terrorist tactics. Night combat is a common strategy in such conflicts, leading to an increased demand for advanced imaging systems and ammunition. The US military has utilized passive night vision devices and thermal imagers in weapons such as RPG-7 rocket launchers, M-72 66mm Light Anti-Tank Weapons, M-79 40mm grenade launchers, and M-67 90mm recoilless rifles. The Middle East's economic and political instability over the last quarter-century has resulted in numerous instances of asymmetric warfare, increasing the demand for ammunition. Consequently, the global ammunition market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period. 

The Ammunition Market is experiencing significant growth due to the demand for newer generation ammunition by armed forces and militaries worldwide. Penetrating power and accuracy are key factors driving this trend. Training ammunition is also in high demand for peacekeeping missions and military personnel training. Companies like Rheinmetall and General Dynamics lead the market with innovative solutions, such as polymer-cased ammunition and advanced calibers. Militaries are modernizing their infantry weapons, leading to increased competition among munitions manufacturers. Military spending and geopolitical tensions continue to fuel demand for combat equipment, arms, and ammunition. Law enforcement agencies and reserve forces also contribute to the market's gross volume. Expressions of Interest for artillery guns and the development of new calibers, like the Advanced 9mm Cartridge, further boost the industry. The area of impact and munition range are crucial considerations for military personnel, leading to the stockpiling of war reserves and inventory management. Terrorism and warfare equipment also contribute to the market's growth.

Market Challenges

• The global ammunition market faces significant challenges due to the illicit production and trade of ammunition. According to the United Nations Office of Disarmament Affairs (UNODA), over 80% of ammunition trade remains outside of reliable export data. The causes of weapons diversion are classified into six major categories by Conflict Armament Research (CAR): battlefield capture, loss from state custody, state-sponsored diversion, poorly managed national stockpiles, state collapse, and unknown causes. However, expert groups monitoring UN arms embargoes attribute the deviation of ammunition to the lack of basic accountability systems. The proliferation of illicit ammunition manufacturers poses a major threat to global security, as these manufacturers produce and transfer unmarked ammunition across international borders. This illegally manufactured ammunition is often used in terrorist activities and negatively impacts the demand for branded ammunition. Therefore, the rise of illicit ammunition manufacturers is expected to negatively impact the growth of the global ammunition market during the forecast period.
• The Ammunition Market faces numerous challenges in various sectors. In the military and law enforcement arenas, terrorism and warfare equipment requirements drive demand for ammunition and combat equipment. Defense budgets prioritize inventory for armed personnel, necessitating stockpiling of war reserves, artillery, and small-caliber ammunition. In civilian sectors, demand comes from sporting, hunting, self-defense, and territorial conflicts. Political instabilities, economic inequalities, and ceasefire violations fuel the need for military ordnance. The ammunition industry confronts regulatory hurdles, including restrictive legislation and compliance issues. The Gun Control bill and the Arms Trade Treaty, as multilateral treaties, impact international measures. Military modernization calls for infantry support programs and weaponry upgrades, often in specific calibers. Cross-border terrorism and drug trafficking activities further complicate the landscape. The ammunition market must adapt to these challenges while addressing civilian disarmament initiatives and firearms-related products.

NEW YORK, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 20 years, the collaboration between Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic has been synonymous with small-ship modern expedition cruising. Today, the two companies are taking their industry-defining relationship to the next level with the debut of a new name and refreshed co-branded identity, National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions.

The launch of the new co-brand represents a significant milestone in the long-term extension and expansion of the strategic relationship between Lindblad Expeditions, National Geographic, and The Walt Disney Company. The move was made possible under the new 17-year agreement between the three innovative brands announced in November 2023, which granted Lindblad Expeditions global rights to the National Geographic brand for expedition cruises until at least 2040.

"With the launch of our new National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions co-branded identity, we made the strategic decision to lead with the power and name recognition of National Geographic, bolstered by Lindblad Expeditions' rich heritage as the pioneers of modern expedition cruising," said Sven-Olof Lindblad, founder and CEO, Lindblad Expeditions. "Together with National Geographic and The Walt Disney Company, we will be demonstrating the power of this new co-brand and improved name recognition, which will be vitally important as we expand our footprint in key growth markets around the world. We strongly believe that this updated co-brand will drive consumer intent, search efficiency and conversion, bringing more discerning travelers on board our growing fleet."

"National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions embarked on an exciting future together more than 20 years ago, and I am proud to see that relationship and shared vision continue to expand through the launch of this co-brand," said Stephanie Young, President, Disney Vacation Club, Adventures & Expeditions and Disney Institute. "Discovering the world with National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions is one of the most educational and insightful ways to travel. The knowledgeable Naturalists and Expedition Leaders on board, state-of-the-art equipment and capability of these ships take guests on a journey unlike any other, educating travelers and inspiring them to conserve the world around them."

"Over the past two decades, National Geographic and Lindblad Expeditions have traveled the world together, united by a shared dedication to purposeful exploration," added Jill Tiefenthaler, chief executive officer, National Geographic Society. "With the refreshed National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions co-branded identity, we're embarking on the next phase of our long-standing partnership, looking ahead to many more years of deep discovery and meaningful conservation work that will continue to educate, embolden and inspire future generations of global changemakers."

The new National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions co-branded identity and logo will be fully implemented across all owned-marketing channels by the end of the year, starting today with the launch of the redesigned consumer website, www.expeditions.com. In early 2025, the co-brand will debut a sweeping omnichannel consumer and trade marketing campaign—the largest in Lindblad Expeditions' history—powered in part by the reach of The Walt Disney Company. The implementation of new branding across Lindblad Expeditions' growing fleet of 20 owned, leased and chartered vessels will begin in 2025.

With its pioneering history in modern expedition cruising, Lindblad Expeditions has expertly led curious and discerning travelers on journeys of deep discovery to the farthest reaches of the planet for more than half a century. For the past two decades, Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic have collaborated through a shared mission: To foster a spirit of discovery and community by blending science, nature and purpose-driven travel.

Together, the brands and their guests have embarked on thousands of expeditions designed for discovery to highlight the wonder of the world and their collective role in protecting it. These voyages helped to progress important conservation priorities, educational opportunities and environmental scientific research at local, regional, and global levels with initiatives like the Visiting Scientist Program.

MARIETTA, Ga., Sept. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- 10 former employees of MiMedx Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDXG) have now filed counterclaims against the placental biologics company in response to a non-compete lawsuit filed by MiMedx earlier this year.  Among other allegations, the employee countersuits assert that in some cases that MiMedx engaged in "schemes to bilk Medicare and other government and third-party taxpayers" and that "MiMedx tried to compel its employees to continue selling a product that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined could not lawfully be marketed without prior FDA approval."  The filings describe the MiMedx suit as a "blatant intimidation tactic" against former employees who were "forced to leave" MiMedx as a result of its alleged wrongdoing.

Specifically, the counterclaims allege that MiMedx "pressure[d] healthcare providers to treat wounded veterans, diabetics, chronic wound sufferers, and other patients with medically unnecessary or unsuitable products—all to the detriment of patients "that are amongst the most vulnerable populations". Key filings also allege that MiMedx "engaged in and has directed members of its sales team including [the defendants] to engage in, predatory sales practices aimed at increasing its revenue by incentivizing fraud on the United States government, including Medicare fraud."

Some of the claims reference a warning letter issued by the FDA to MiMedx's CEO, Joseph H. Capper, concerning its AXIOFILL product on December 20, 2023, and assert that former employees believed "that the company had wasted the sales team's time claiming that there were no issues regarding AxioFill" even after receiving the letter, and that MiMedx's "lack of communication and transparency" regarding the facts were disturbing and led to them seeking employment elsewhere.

The claims filed by the former employees' attorneys at Mintz and Fellows Labriola allege that the employees left MiMedx after "MiMedx tried to compel its employees to continue selling a product that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ('FDA') determined could not lawfully be marketed without prior FDA approval."

Today's counterclaims come on the heels of complaints filed last month on behalf of ex-MiMedx employees.  To read the LATEST claims please click below.

TORONTO, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- estiatorio Milos, the renowned Greek restaurant celebrated globally for its uncompromising dedication to quality, simplicity, and authenticity, proudly announces the grand opening of its newest location in the heart of Toronto's revitalized financial district at 330 Bay Street. This marks Milos' second Canadian location and its 12th globally, introducing a refined dining experience within an historic Toronto landmark designed by Alfred Chapman in 1924.

The new location brings with it exciting offerings exclusive to Milos Toronto.

"I am deeply proud to open estiatorio Milos in Toronto, a sister restaurant to my very first in Montreal," says Chef Spiliadis. "When I opened in Montreal, it was a new adventure, and in many ways, this feels like a new chapter, nearly 50 years later. For me and my family, Milos has always been about preserving and sharing our rich Greek heritage through both our food and our memories. I wanted to create a place where everyone feels welcome, where the joy of dining is embraced in a refined yet warm and inviting environment. Toronto is the ideal city to continue this journey, and I hope everyone will enjoy the authenticity and heart of our cuisine and our experience."

"We are thrilled to return to Canada after so many years and to bring Milos back to this vibrant culinary landscape. The incredible mark Milos has made around the world is a testament to Costas' unwavering commitment to excellence, and to preserving the heritage and quality of Greece's culinary traditions," said Joey Simons, CEO estiatorio Milos.

SAVANNAH, GA, UNITED STATES, September 27, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- According to a 2023 article by Scientific American, “Two Thirds of American Kids Can’t Read Fluently.” According to renowned educator Dr. Clifford King, the problem is that an insufficient amount of time is being devoted to reading. According to Dr. King, recent trends have shifted focus predominantly to writing and arithmetic, leaving reading to fall by the wayside.

“Reading is the cornerstone of all learning,” Dr. King argues. “It influences every subject area and is essential for students whether they choose to pursue higher education or enter the workforce. Without strong reading skills, students are disadvantaged across the board.”

The crux of the issue, as Dr. King sees it, is in how time is allocated within the curriculum. “Teachers are under immense pressure to cover everything in the curriculum,” he explains. “The risk of skipping over mandated subjects is high, so they often prioritize writing and arithmetic at the expense of reading. This imbalance is detrimental to our students.”

Dr. King emphasizes the criticality of reading for comprehensive education. “Reading skills underpin every other subject. Whether it’s history, science, or even mathematics, the ability to read and comprehend plays a vital role. Ignoring reading in favor of other subjects can cause students to struggle universally.”

Class Sizes and Support Systems

Another concern raised by Dr. King is the increasing class sizes and the scarcity of paraprofessionals, particularly in higher grades. “It’s common now to find classes with 20 to 25 students, often without additional support,” he notes. “This makes it incredibly difficult for teachers to give each student the attention they need, particularly in developing reading skills.”

In smaller class settings, peer tutoring can be an effective strategy. Dr. King reminisces, “I used to employ peer tutors in my classes. Students often respond better to help from a peer rather than from an adult. This method not only aids the struggling student but also reinforces the tutor’s understanding.”

Traditional Methods Revisited

Dr. King is an advocate for blending traditional methods with modern techniques to foster a balanced approach to reading. “When I taught, I used newspapers to engage students with current events,” he shares. “This made reading relevant and interesting to them. Implementing varied methods can make a substantial difference.”

He also highlights time-honored practices such as reading aloud to children and involving them in activities that incorporate spelling and phonetics. He recalls, “Before bedtime, I would read stories to my children or have them read to me. These small interactions significantly contribute to a child’s reading development.”

Parental Involvement

A significant aspect of Dr. King’s philosophy is parental involvement in education. He suggests that parents can play a crucial role in reinforcing lessons at home. “Parents, even those who might not be highly educated, can ask their children about their homework and ensure it’s done before chores. This involvement can make a substantial difference in a child’s academic journey.”

He proposes that schools introduce subject matter to parents to help them support their children’s learning. “Educating parents wouldn’t require a lot of time and would be highly beneficial. Parents would feel empowered and engaged, knowing they are actively contributing to their child’s education.”

The Role of Modern Technology

While acknowledging the benefits of technology, Dr. King cautions against over-reliance on tools like Artificial Intelligence (AI). “AI can serve as a useful assistant, but there’s a risk of creating a generation that lacks fundamental skills. It’s crucial to strike a balance and ensure students have a strong grasp of rudimentary tasks.”

Dr. King points out that while computers provide valuable resources, their ubiquity can lead to a saturation point where basic learning gets overshadowed. “We need to ensure that basic skills, like reading, are not lost amidst the digital tools.”

Reflections and Call to Action

Dr. King’s reflections also touch on changes he has seen over the decades. “In the past, techniques like spelling bees were common and effective. These practices not only enhanced spelling skills but also fostered a spirit of healthy competition and camaraderie among students.”

He emphasizes the importance of adapting successful past methods to today’s educational needs. “Educational techniques have evolved, but some traditional methods still hold value. A balanced approach that includes both time-tested and innovative strategies will yield the best outcomes.”

Dr. Clifford King calls for a reevaluation of current educational priorities to better serve students. “Teachers and administrators need to reassess how time is allocated to ensure reading receives the attention it deserves. Involving parents, employing varied teaching methods, and addressing class sizes will make a profound difference.”

He hopes that addressing these issues will ignite a broader conversation about the future of education and the essential role of reading. “It’s not just about meeting curriculum requirements; it’s about preparing our students for life. Strong reading skills are the foundation for all future success.”

Close Up Radio will feature Dr. Clifford King in an interview with Jim Masters on Tuesday, October 1st at 4pm EST and with Doug Llewelyn on Tuesday, October 8th at 4pm EST

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- MGM Resorts International (NYSE: MGM) ("MGM Resorts" or the "Company") is making a bold leap toward its ambitious sustainability goals, signing a power purchase agreement with Escape Solar LLC that will more than double its access to clean solar electricity—an extraordinary stride toward a greener future. The agreement will help propel the Company closer to its goal of procuring 100% renewable electricity in North America by 2030. Already a global leader in sustainability with the world's largest direct connect solar array in the hospitality industry, MGM Resorts currently uses solar power for 90% of the total daytime needs at 11 of its iconic Las Vegas Strip properties. This visionary 25-year compact will amplify the Company's renewable energy capabilities and extend production to cover 100% of those properties' total daytime needs. In addition, Escape Solar +'s battery storage will enable the extension of renewable power provided into the late afternoon and early evening hours to include uses such as exterior property lighting.

The Escape Solar + Storage project, which will be operated by Estuary Power, is slated for construction in Lincoln County, Nevada. It will combine a 115 megawatt (MW) solar facility with a state-of-the-art 100 MW/400 MWh battery storage system. The facility will produce an amount of renewable electricity equivalent to the annual power usage of more than 28,000 average U.S. homes. Operations are expected to kick off in early 2026, marking a significant milestone in MGM Resorts' journey to sustainability leadership. 

"This agreement is the next step toward the achievement of our climate goals.  We have our eyes on meeting our science-based targets and goal of sourcing 100% of our electricity in North America from renewable sources by 2030," said Bill Hornbuckle, CEO and President at MGM Resorts. "As we continue the journey toward greater sustainability, we remain dedicated to finding new ways to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve resources and inspire others to join in building a more sustainable world for generations to come."

In 2023, the company achieved two notable goals related to carbon emissions: reduce emissions by square foot by 45% by 2025 and reduce emissions per square foot by 50% by 2030. Since 2016, MGM Resorts has significantly reduced its carbon emissions through renewable energy projects including:

• 323,000-panel Mega Solar Array providing 100 MW to MGM Resorts locations in Las Vegas
• 26,000 solar panels atop the Mandalay Bay Convention Center providing 8.3MW to that property
• 100-kW rooftop solar array to help power T-Mobile Arena
• 3,456 solar panels atop the parking garage at MGM Springfield in Massachusetts

The Company strives to lead the hospitality industry in its response to a changing climate with transparency, accountability and actions informed by the latest climate science. Click here to learn more about climate action at MGM Resorts.

"Estuary is delighted to contribute to MGM Resorts' industry-leading renewable energy objectives by supplying solar energy and battery capacity from our Escape Solar project," said Jill Daniel, CEO of Estuary Power.  "MGM Resorts' purchase of renewable energy from Escape will reduce carbon emissions by nearly 250,000 metric tons annually.  In addition, Escape will generate substantial economic benefits for Lincoln County, Nevada as the first utility scale solar project in the county and will create over 250 well-paying construction jobs."

For nearly two decades, Cox was the Executive Director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, the group widely credited with a near perfect record of advocacy in legislative efforts at the state and federal levels during that time period.

"President Biden bragged in June in a speech to a gun control group that his administration has done more for the anti-gun agenda than any of his predecessors," Cox said. "We are going to make the case to the American public that he is wrong, anti-gun liberals are wrong, and that the right to self-defense is fundamental to every law-abiding American."

The Secure Our Freedom Alliance launches its public face with a six-figure ad buy promoting the right to self-defense to digital audiences in the Great Lakes states, including Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

"Our purpose is to win the hearts and minds of the American public to protect the right to self-defense," Cox said. "Every American family has a right to protect themselves and their homes from violent criminals, and the right to choose the method of self-defense they deem best."

Cox said the group will seek grassroots support nation-wide from individuals who support the Second Amendment and want to see it defended in society. "We know there are a hundred million Americans who cherish their right to self-defense, and we want them to know there's a place they can come to band together and fight for that right. The leaders we have assembled are experienced in marshalling supporters of the Second Amendment to succeed, and we will do it again."

At the festival, attendees will be able to explore End Times: According to Scripture, a detailed study on biblical prophecies regarding the End Times. This book, which draws from Pallaghy’s extensive knowledge and spiritual insights, builds on a series of teachings he led in his church, where he captivated a small yet devoted audience.

FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Princess Cruises, the world-famous cruise line delivering dream vacations to millions each year, celebrated a major construction milestone today of its second Sphere-Class vessel, Star Princess, with the traditional maritime float out ceremony at the Fincantieri Shipyard in Monfalcone, Italy. The new ship will now transfer to the outfitting quay where construction will continue in anticipation of her Fall 2025 debut.

Honoring the hundreds-year-old seafaring custom, the float out celebrates the first time the superstructure of a new ship meets water for the first time. Third Engineer Chiara del Vecchio, who currently works aboard sister ship Sun Princess, served as the brand's madrina and became the first member of the Princess technical team to hold this time-honored role.

"Today is a celebration of teamwork, craftsmanship, and innovation. Star Princess is the second ship in our new Sphere class, and now as she prepares to take to the water for the first time it is a testament to the incredible dedication and skill of the entire shipyard team," said John Padgett, Princess Cruises president. "Fincantieri has again turned vision into reality, building on the success of her sister ship - Sun Princess, which has already captured the hearts of our guests with its elegance and cutting-edge design. Together, we are creating amazing machines that will inspire adventure and deliver unforgettable experiences for all who sail with us for decades to come."

Padgett also announced that Commodore Nick Nash and Captain Gennaro Arma, who both were on hand for the ceremony, will serve as masters of Star Princess. Arma will serve as master of Star Princess when the ship is delivered next fall ahead of Commodore Nash's turn at the helm.

Additional Star Princess senior officers include:

• Chief Engineer Gaetano Guida who joined Princess Cruises in 2002 and was named chief engineer aboard Royal Princess in 2017. Guida was part of the team that delivered Sun Princess and continues to play an important role in guiding the construction and delivery of Star Princess from the Fincantieri shipyard.
• Chief Engineer Massimiliano Imperiale is a 15-year Princess Cruises veteran, having joined the company in 1999 as third engineer, with his first appointment as Chief Engineer in 2013 aboard Caribbean Princess.
• Staff Captain Chris King joined Princess in 2010 as a third officer, following several years working as a deck cadet on container ships. He was named Staff Captain in 2023 and currently serves in this capacity aboard Discovery Princess.
• Staff Captain Michele Russo has worked at Princess for nearly two decades, joining the company as a deck cadet on the since-retired Dawn Princess. After moving up through the ranks he was named Safety Officer in 2017 and his current position, Staff Captain, last year.
• Hotel General Manager Ralph D'Souza joined Princess in 2006 as a junior purser and was named hotel general manager in 2019. He has been part of the launch team for several ships, including the new Sun Princess, and was also part of the deployment team for the MedallionClass Experience in 2017.
• Hotel General Manager Bosco Pires has been a Princess Cruises hotel general manager since 2019 and has served on a variety of ships throughout the fleet. His nearly 25 years of specialized cruise industry experience has provided him with a solid foundation in both business and hospitality operations.

The 4,300-guest, 178,000-ton Star Princess is the second in the new Sphere Class of ships for Princess and will also be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG). Sister ship Sun Princess, also built by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, debuted in February and is hailed as the next-level Love Boat featuring the iconic and elegant structural lines Princess is known for, while delivering an evolution of the brand with new eye-catching architectural spectacles like The Dome, the cruise industry's first geodesic feature on the top deck; The Sphere, the suspended glass Sphere Piazza at the center of the cruise ship; and The Arena, the most technically advanced theater at sea.

Voyages for the inaugural season of Star Princess are on sale now.

If you're a lawyer or plaintiff involved in an active lawsuit of any kind and need an immediate cash advance lawsuit loan against an impending lawsuit settlement, please visit Legal-Bay here: New Jersey Lawsuit Loans

Legal-Bay offers cash settlement funding and lawsuit loans for all types of cases including wrongful death, personal injury, premise liability, slips and falls, construction accidents, medical malpractice, truck accidents, bus collisions, police brutality, wrongful incarceration, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, workplace discrimination, unlawful termination, and more.

Their loan for settlement funding programs are designed to provide immediate cash in advance of a plaintiff's anticipated monetary award. While it's common to refer to these legal funding requests as settlement loans, loans for settlements, law suit loans, loans for lawsuits, etc., the "lawsuit loan" funds are, in fact, non-recourse. That means there's no risk when it comes to lawsuit loan funds because there is no obligation to repay the money if the recipient loses their case. Therefore, terms like settlement loan, loans for lawsuit, or loans on settlement don't necessarily apply, as the "loan on lawsuit" isn't really a loan at all, but rather a stress-free cash advance.

Legal-Bay is known to many as the best lawsuit loan funding provider in the industry for their helpful and knowledgeable staff, and one of the best lawsuit loan companies overall for their low rates and quick turnaround, sometimes within 24-48 hours once all documents have been received.

To apply right now for a loan settlement program, please visit the company's website at New Jersey Lawsuit Loans or call toll-free at: 877.571.0405 where agents are standing by to answer any questions.

To gather this data, Poston Communications studied each law firm's website in search of information on its crisis management efforts. Top results following this research concluded that of the firms reviewed:

• 89% reference "crisis" in practice area descriptions.
• 49% have a top-line crisis management practice. 
• 35% offer crisis management as a sub-practice.
• 15% are Chambers ranked for crisis management.

The study highlights a growing demand from clients for holistic support during critical situations, including guidance on reputational exposure in high-stakes litigation and legal decisions. Despite this trend, many top law firms are not fully capitalizing on the potential for expanded client services and revenue in crisis management, as services are often vaguely described and primarily reactive, with communication frequently serving as an afterthought.

"Law firms that position themselves as leaders in crisis management should include robust communications capabilities to fully meet client needs and drive growth," said Dave Poston, Esq., Poston Communications CEO and general counsel. "Those who proactively develop and promote these capabilities will have a competitive edge in the marketplace."

The study emphasizes the critical importance of crisis communications in effective crisis management. With only 2% of firms indicating they have crisis communications consultants on staff, there is a clear opportunity for law firms to differentiate themselves by enhancing their capabilities in this area, and they are encouraged to reassess their offerings and consider strategic partnerships to bolster their crisis communications capabilities.
