A local robotics club is having its most successful season to date, with an annual competition in Kingston this weekend seeing more participants than ever before. WAFFLES Community Robotics, a volunteer-led robotics organization that provides different programs to area students, held its 13th annual tournament on Saturday where close to 200 students researched, designed, and built their own custom-built robots. “This is our biggest event ever,” said Taegen Poles, program lead at WAFFLES. The challenge was opened up to area students in August, Poles said, and the competition on Saturday was the culmination of all the work they’ve put in since then. As part of the challenge, teams of young people were told to research a real-world problem, propose an innovative solution, and build and program a Lego robot. The theme this year was ‘Submerged,’ Poles said, so all of the teams completed a small project tackling something to do with ocean exploration or oceanography. This year, around 200 children on 31 teams went “head-to-head, putting eight weeks of research, design, and programming to the test in a regional tournament to win honours, recognition and a chance to go to the Ontario Provincial Championship.” “It’s been great to have any many people out as we’ve had,” Poles said. “We are really proud of growing the program in the Kingston region, because it’s so good for the kids. Many of these students will go on to study in post-secondary at a higher rate than their peers, and go into STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields at a much higher rate than their peers, as well.” And that’s the goal, she said – getting kids passionate about science and technology. “(It’s about) learning skills that are helpful at a young age.” The group has provided programming for Kingston-area youth since 2006, and this event in particular is in its 13 th year. It was held at Queen’s University’s Duncan McArthur Hall, where hordes of children were busy with their projects Saturday after being challenged to make custom-built robots come to life in fast-paced, timed competitions. There were 18 teams for nine- to 14-year-olds, and 12 teams for six to 10-year-olds, Poles said. The students come from across the city, including from elementary and secondary schools, the Boys and Girls Club, or from the local homeschooling community. Angela Gillespie, the treasurer for WAFFLES and a member of its board of directors, said she was thrilled at the event’s popularity this year. Getting local kids involved in the program is beneficial, she said, particularly given the modern challenges with technology for youth. “I think it’s great they can get exposed to it when they’re little and they’re not as afraid of it when they’re older,” Gillespie said. Gillespie and her husband have been involved with the organization for around nine years, and began when their daughter was in Grade 9 as a participant. Both of their children went through the program and are now older and in the working world. But they believe in the program deeply, she said, and the impact it has on local children. “It is so exciting for them. I think it’s great. That’s why we’re still helping.” sbedford@postmedia.com
The counterprogramming of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” in July 2023 hit a nerve culturally and had the receipts to back it up. Unlike so many things that begin as memes, it transcended its online beginnings. Instead of an either-or, the two movies ultimately complemented and boosted one another at the box office. And ever since, moviegoers, marketers and meme makers have been trying to recreate that moment, searching the movie release schedule for odd mashups and sending candidates off into the social media void. Most attempts have fizzled (sorry, “Saw Patrol” ). This weekend is perhaps the closest approximation yet as the Broadway musical adaptation “Wicked” opens Friday against the chest-thumping sword-and-sandals epic “Gladiator II.” Two big studio releases (Universal and Paramount), with one-name titles, opposite tones and aesthetics and big blockbuster energy — it was already halfway there before the name game began: “Wickiator,” “Wadiator,” “Gladwick” and even the eyebrow raising “Gladicked” have all been suggested. “'Glicked' rolls off the tongue a little bit more,” actor Fred Hechinger said at the New York screening of “Gladiator II” this week. “I think we should all band around ‘Glicked.’ It gets too confusing if you have four or five different names for it.” As with “Barbenheimer," as reductive as it might seem, “Glicked” also has the male/female divide that make the fan art extra silly. One is pink and bright and awash in sparkles, tulle, Broadway bangers and brand tie-ins; The other is all sweat and sand, blood and bulging muscles. Both films topped Fandango’s most anticipated holiday movie survey, where 65% of respondents said that they were interested in the “Glicked” double feature. Theaters big and small are also pulling out the stops with movie-themed tie-ins. B&B Theaters will have Roman guards tearing tickets at some locations and Maximus popcorn tubs. Marcus Theaters is doing Oz photo ops and friendship bracelet-making. Alamo Drafthouse is leaning into the singalong aspect (beware, though, not all theaters are embracing this) and the punny drinks like “Defying Gravi-Tea.” “Rather than it being in competition, I think they’re in conversation,” “Gladiator II” star Paul Mescal said. “This industry needs a shot in the arm. Those films gave it last year. We hope to do it this year.” And the hope is that audiences will flock to theaters to be part of this moment as well. It's a sorely needed influx of could-be blockbusters into a marketplace that's still at an 11% deficit from last year and down 27.2% from 2019, according to data from Comscore. “Competition is good for the marketplace. It’s good for consumers,” said Michael O'Leary, the president and CEO of the National Association of Theatre Owners. “Having two great movies coming out at the same time is simply a multiplier effect.” “Glicked” is currently tracking for a combined North American debut in the $165 million range, with “Wicked” forecast to earn around $100 million (up from the $80 million estimates a few weeks ago) and “Gladiator II” pegged for the $65 million range. “Barbenheimer” shattered its projections last July. Going into that weekend, “Barbie” had been pegged for $90 million and “Oppenheimer” around $40 million. Ultimately, they brought in a combined $244 million in that first outing, and nearly $2.4 billion by the end of their runs. It’s possible “Glicked” will exceed expectations, too. And it has the advantage of another behemoth coming close behind: “Moana 2,” which opens just five days later on the Wednesday before the Thanksgiving holiday. “Glickedana” triple feature anyone? “These are 10 important days,” O'Leary said. “It’s going to show the moviegoing audience that there’s a lot of compelling stuff out there for them to see.” There are infinite caveats to the imperfect comparison to “Barbenheimer,” as well. “Wicked” is a “Part One.” Musicals carry their own baggage with moviegoers, even those based on wildly successful productions (ahem, “Cats”). “Gladiator II” got a head start and opened internationally last weekend. In fact, in the U.K. it played alongside “Paddington in Peru,” where that double was pegged “Gladdington.” “Gladiator” reviews, while positive, are a little more divided than the others. And neither directors Ridley Scott nor Jon M. Chu has the built-in box office cache that Christopher Nolan’s name alone carries at the moment. The new films also cost more than “Barbie” ($145 million) and “Oppenheimer” ($100 million). According to reports, “Gladiator II” had a $250 million price tag; “Wicked” reportedly cost $150 million to produce (and that does not include the cost of the second film, due next year). The narrative, though, has shifted away from “who will win the weekend.” Earlier this year, Chu told The Associated Press that he loves that this is a moment where “we can root for all movies all the time.” Close behind are a bevy of Christmas releases with double feature potential, but those feel a little more niche. There’s the remake of “Nosferatu,” the Nicole Kidman kink pic “Babygirl” and the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.” The internet can’t even seem to decide on its angle for that batch of contenders, and none exactly screams blockbuster. Sometimes the joy is just in the game, however. Some are sticking with the one-name mashup (“Babyratu”); others are suggesting that the fact that two of the movies feature real-life exes (Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp) is enough reason for a double feature. And getting people talking is half the battle. When in doubt, or lacking a catchy name, there’s always the default: “This is my Barbenheimer.” Associated Press journalist John Carucci and Film Writer Jake Coyle contributed reporting.No. 5 UCLA stuns No. 1 South Carolina to reaffirm its national title aims
AleAnna Accelerates Efforts to Improve Italy's Energy Sustainability and Security with Strategic Business Combination Concurrent with the completion of the Business Combination, Swiftmerge has changed its name to AleAnna, Inc. Commencing at the open of trading on December 16, 2024, the Class A shares of common stock and warrants of AleAnna are expected to begin trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the ticker symbols "ANNA” and "ANNAW”, respectively. The transaction was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of Swiftmerge and was approved at an extraordinary general meeting (the "Shareholders Meeting”) of Swiftmerge's shareholders on December 12, 2024. Former equity holders of AleAnna Energy rolled 100% of their equity interests into the combined company. Prior to the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated June 6, 2024, AleAnna Energy's equity holders contributed over $60 million in cash, bringing the company's total cumulative investment to nearly $175 million. This infusion of capital enabled the completion of the Longanesi Field tie-in and the acquisition of initial renewable natural gas ("RNG”) assets, both finalized in Q3 2024. Additionally, the investment covered expenses related to the business combination and provided funding for general corporate liquidity. As of the transaction close, AleAnna had approximately $28 million in cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet and no debt. This disciplined approach to financial management has empowered AleAnna to allocate significant capital to innovative exploration and development projects while preserving financial flexibility. Long History In Developing Resources in Italy AleAnna has a distinguished history in Italy, having been a leader in energy exploration and development for over a decade. Since its founding in 2007, the company has been dedicated to unlocking the significant potential of Italy's natural gas reserves through the application of cutting-edge seismic imaging and environmentally responsible practices.

Alongside this, additional gas discoveries at Gradizza and Trava, 13 development prospects in various permitting stages, and leases covering approximately 2.3 million net acres underscore AleAnna's commitment to future exploration and development. AleAnna is also helping drive the European Union's clean energy transition through its innovative approach to RNG.
