igo777 Jets deliver payback to Leafs, claim NHL’s top spot before Christmas break( MENAFN - 3BL) By Candace Higginbotham Ever heard of the benefits cliff? It's a term to describe the impact of a sudden or gradual decrease in public benefits that occurs when a family's income exceeds the eligibility threshold for an assistance program. People who participate in programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Children's health Insurance Program (CHIP) or receive childcare subsidies or child tax credits can face a benefits cliff when they get a raise, take a new job or simply work more hours. This seemingly positive wage increase can result in an individual making too much money to receive the benefits – but not enough to sustain themselves and their household. In short, their income gain results in them being worse off financially than before the income gain (a benefits cliff), or no better off (a benefits plateau). And that can have significant consequences for families and communities: it can keep people in low-wage jobs, discourage them from joining the workforce and influence other decisions that hold them back from long-term financial success. Education and workforce readiness is one of Regions Bank's community engagement priority areas and the bank offers wide-ranging support to community partners that provide job readiness programs, skills training and career coaching. These organizations are well aware of the benefits cliff problem – and the lack of simple solutions. So, as part of its Important Insights series, the Regions Making Life Better Institute® recently hosted a webinar to provide tools and information to help community partners prepare their clients for some of the difficult realities of career advancement. Regions invited Alex Ruder, Community and Economic Development director and principal adviser at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, to expand understanding of the benefits cliff. Ruder began the discussion with a case study that demonstrates the benefits cliff and plateau, by walking participants through a familiar example: A person working full-time in a near-minimum wage job participating in public assistance programs wants to enter the health care sector to increase their career and financial opportunities. He outlined points in the person's career trajectory where their net financial resources would actually decline or remain the same, even with pay raises, additional certifications and promotions. According to Ruder, there are three potential ways for nonprofits to assist clients who may face a benefits cliff in their journey from entry level to a living wage job. “Building skills, getting certifications and pursuing new roles are proven ways people can advance their career and increase economic mobility,” said Leroy Abrahams, head of Community Engagement at Regions.“Engaging in dialogue with our community partners and workforce development experts helps foster prosperity in our communities.” The webinar participants, representing community organizations around the country, welcomed the discussion and resources. “This has been a terrific presentation and really makes me think of new ways to have conversations that are simple and purposeful that contacts can understand and feel confident regarding their future,” said Dr. Douglas Stewart of the Tennessee College of Applied Technology. That's the reaction that Gina Sian, head of the Regions Making Life Better Institute, was hoping for. “Regions launched this program of free webinars four years ago to help our valuable community partners navigate challenges and provide technical assistance as they work toward their mission,” Sian said.“Investing in knowledge-sharing and skill-building opportunities like these deepen our understanding of the barriers that our communities face and helps us work collaboratively together toward meaningful solutions.” MENAFN13122024007202015466ID1108992037 Legal Disclaimer: MENAFN provides the information “as is” without warranty of any kind.

Eagles vs. Ravens: Odds, picks, predictions, and betting previewWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau returned home Saturday after his meeting with Donald Trump without assurances the president-elect will back away from threatened tariffs on all products from the major American trading partner. Trump called the talks “productive” but signaled no retreat from a pledge that Canada says unfairly lumps it in with Mexico over the flow of drugs and migrants into the United States. After the leaders’ hastily arranged dinner Friday night at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, Trudeau spoke of “an excellent conversation" and said in a post later Saturday on X, accompanied by a photo of the two men seated a table and smiling, that he looked forward to “the work we can do together, again.” Trump said earlier on Truth Social that they discussed “many important topics that will require both Countries to work together to address.” For issues in need of such cooperation, Trump cited fentanyl and the “Drug Crisis that has decimated so many lives as a result of Illegal Immigration," fair trade deals "that do not jeopardize American Workers” and the U.S. trade deficit with its ally to the north. Trump asserted that the prime minister had made “a commitment to work with us to end this terrible devastation” of American families from fentanyl from China reaching the United States through its neighbors. The U.S., he said, “will no longer sit idly by as our Citizens become victims to the scourge of this Drug Epidemic.” The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. U.S. customs agents seized 43 pounds of fentanyl at the Canadian border last fiscal year, compared with 21,100 pounds at the Mexican border. On immigration, the U.S. Border Patrol made 56,530 arrests at the Mexican border in October alone and 23,721 arrests at the Canadian border between October 2023 and September 2024 — and Canadian officials say they are ready to make new investments in border security. Trudeau called Trump after the Republican's social media posts about the tariffs last Monday and they agreed to meet, according to a official familiar with the matter who was not authorized to publicly discuss detail of the private talks. The official said other countries are calling Canadian officials to hear how about how the meeting was arranged and to ask for advice. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, after speaking with Trump on the telephone, said Thursday she was confident a tariff war with Washington would be averted. At the dinner that was said to last three hours, Trump said he and Trudeau also discussed energy, trade and the Arctic. A second official cited defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast, pipelines and the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year as other issues that arose. Trudeau's office said in a statement that the leaders “shared a productive wide-ranging discussion” centering on “collaboration and strengthening our relationship,” adding, "As Canada’s closest friend and ally, the United States is our key partner, and we are committed to working together in the interests of Canadians and Americans.” Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. "Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Trudeau had said before leaving from Friday that Trump was elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now was talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products, including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. The threatened tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. When Trump imposed higher tariffs as president, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, and 85% of U.S. electricity imports are from Canada. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is eager for and investing in for national security. Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of Canada’s exports go to the U.S. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto.

Albanese denies parliament's bill rush means Labor is preparing for early election

The Philippines, a biodiversity hotspot, has grappled with an ecological deficit for over six decades, worsening the country’s environmental and sustainability challenges, according to National Scientist Lourdes Cruz. Cruz linked the rising ecological deficit to increasing problems, such as resource scarcity, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss, which have profound implications for sustainable development. In her keynote lecture at the recent 2024 Philippine Textile Congress at a Makati City hotel that had the theme “Fostering Transdisciplinary Textile Knowledge Generation and Translation,” the National Scientist highlighting the importance of integrating sustainable practices into various industries, especially in the textile sector. She noted that the Philippine textile industry, which has faced significant challenges in the past, is now experiencing a resurgence with a focus on natural fibers and sustainable materials. She further pointed out the potential of local industries, such as those producing fabrics from natural fibers like “kapok,” to contribute to both economic growth and environmental preservation. “I am happy to see the rise in the philippine textile industry. With this focus on natural fibers and the trend in looking for more sustainable materials,” she said. The ecological deficit, Cruz explained, occurs when a country’s demand for ecological resources exceeds the environment’s ability to regenerate those resources, leading to a depletion of natural capital. “Our biocapacity is still going down. The data is up to 2016 and the ecological footprint is rising. It was last balanced in the year 1963 and then the deficit has been continuously growing,” Cruz said. PHL struggling in SDG In the global Sustainable Development Goals, the Philippines ranked 92nd out of 166 nations, with many of the SDGs in a stagnating state. The country only excels in SDG 12, which focuses on responsible consumption and production. But in other areas, such as biodiversity and poverty alleviation, the nation is struggling to make sufficient progress. According to the World Population Review, the Philippines faces a severe ecological deficit of negative 210 percent, with its ecological footprint at 142 million global hectares—more than triple its total biocapacity of 45.9 million hectares. This indicates that each person uses an average of 1.3 hectares while only 0.4 hectares per capita is available. From knowledge to action Cruz pointed out the importance of bridging the gap between academic research and real-world solutions, particularly in the field of sustainability. “Many of the works done in universities are just inbound theses filed in libraries and never used again,” she said. “We want to ensure that this knowledge is put into action for the benefit of the people.” As part of her commitment to sustainability, Cruz co-founded the Future Earth Philippines Program, launched in 2018, and is an affiliate of the Future Earth Global Program, which brings together scientists and researchers to address issues related to environmental sustainability and resilience. The initiative aims to engage all sectors of society in a collective effort to reverse the ecological deficit and build a more sustainable and resilient future for the Philippines. “Our urgent mission is to advocate and work for the participation of all sectors in a national effort to balance the ecological deficit of the Philippines. The vision is a progressive and resilient Philippines sustained by inclusive science and technology innovation and culture of integrity, equity, and Filipino values,” she explained. Sust(AI)nability Cruz also highlighted the role of new technologies in advancing sustainability efforts, particularly the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in optimizing resource management and production processes. However, she cautioned that AI’s potential benefits must be carefully balanced with ethical considerations and the risk of reinforcing existing inequalities. “There’s a risk of reinforcing existing inequalities with respect to AI because of lack of or very limited use of AI in developing countries and there are environmental concerns and then ethical concerns particularly surrounding privacy and surveillance that arise with respect to AI,” Cruz warned. To address these challenges, Cruz called for a more collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, emphasizing the need for both natural scientists and social scientists to work together. “So from the productions to the end, to the consumption of materials that we need to be concerned with,” she said. “We have all the SDGs around us but we cannot attain this if we don’t collaborate or we don’t partner for the goals.”After weeks of roster uncertainty and losing football, everything went right for the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Following quarterback Kirk Cousins' benching, eighth overall draft pick Michael Penix Jr. won his first career start, throwing for 202 yards in a 34-7 home win over the hapless New York Giants. Atlanta (8-7) had squandered a comfortable lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South after dropping four in a row, but thanks to Tampa Bay's Sunday Night loss to the Dallas Cowboys, the Falcons now sit atop the division and control their own destiny heading into meetings with the Washington Commanders and Carolina Panthers. Ahead of Sunday night's massive game outside the nation's capital, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris liked what he saw from his 24-year-old quarterback. "I was really pleased with his composure and his poise, his ability to work through progressions," Morris said of Penix on Monday. "Realistically, it was a pretty clean game at the quarterback position. ... I thought he did a great job of taking what was given to him, looking at his reads, throwing to open receivers, and really putting some nice zip on it." Atlanta's eighth win of the season marks its most since 2017, when it finished 10-6. That was also the last year the Falcons appeared in the postseason. A win in Washington on Sunday, paired with a Buccaneers' loss to Carolina, would clinch Atlanta's first divisional crown since 2016. Morris will be squaring off with a well-connected counterpart in Commanders head coach Dan Quinn. When Morris played at Hofstra from 1994-97, Quinn was a defensive assistant. Morris then served on Quinn's staff in Atlanta from 2015-20, before taking over as interim head coach when Atlanta fired Quinn midway through the 2020 season. "It's always fun to play against your friends, your confidants, your mentors," Morris said. "From Dan coaching me in college, then having a chance to work together and now having a chance to follow the same path to the National Football League. We have a chance to compete against each other at a very high level with high stakes on the line and in primetime. But this week he's got to be a nameless gray face and we've got to go out there and get a win." As for getting caught up in the playoff scenarios, Morris won't be found monitoring other games. "I am not the emotional roller coaster guy," Morris said. "I do not like to watch those games with anything ill in my heart. I found out (Dallas) won when I woke up this morning and looked on the ESPN app. I closed the phone and realized we had the pen back. Got to go keep it." --Field Level Media

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FIREWEED METALS CORP. (“Fireweed” or the “Company”) (TSXV: FWZ; OTCQX: FWEDF) is pleased to announce it has been awarded US$15.8 M (~C$22.5 M) from the U.S. Department of Defense and up to C$12.9 M from the Government of Canada in support of its critical minerals projects at Macmillan Pass, Yukon Territory. Highlights Fireweed has been awarded US$15.8M (~C$22.5 M) from the U.S. Department of Defense under Title III of the Defense Production Act of 1950 (“DPA Title III”) to advance its 100%-owned Mactung tungsten project toward a final investment decision. Fireweed will also receive up to C$12.9 M from the Government of Canada, pending final due diligence, through the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (“CMIF”) to lead planning for road and power infrastructure supporting Fireweed’s critical mineral assets at Macmillan Pass, Yukon Territory. With this funding, Fireweed’s team will advance its Mactung tungsten project to a final investment decision, while concurrently leading the planning for improvements to regional infrastructure (road and power) that serve the entire critical mineral district at Macmillan Pass. CEO Statement Peter Hemstead, President and CEO, commented: “The coordinated investments by the United States and Canadian governments underscore the critical importance and strategic value of Fireweed’s mineral assets at Macmillan Pass. This joint announcement is a testament to the determination of both governments to unlock this new critical minerals district in Canada. In the coming months and years, our team will work to ensure our projects and the enabling infrastructure move forward in a way that respects rights-holders, provides benefits to communities in the region, and demonstrates how critical minerals can be developed responsibly.” Adam Lundin Statement Adam Lundin, Fireweed’s Strategic Advisor, stated: “The emerging critical minerals district at Macmillan Pass is a profound opportunity to address key supply chain vulnerabilities of the North American industrial base. These investments are significant milestones on the path to advancing both Macpass and Mactung projects toward development.” Statement from the Honorable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources The Honorable Jonathan Wilkinson, Canada’s Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, stated: “Canada is positioning itself as a global supplier of responsibly sourced critical minerals, which are increasingly in demand for the clean and digital economy as well as for defence applications. The Fireweed project will develop the necessary energy infrastructure to power multiple critical minerals mines and communities with clean energy. These investments by Canada and the United States build on our long history of friendship and collaboration, complement the region’s deep expertise in mining, create good jobs in the Yukon and advance economic growth, now and into the future.” A Critical Minerals District at Macmillan Pass Macmillan Pass is an emerging critical minerals district (the “Macpass District”), with two immediately-adjacent, best-in-class critical mineral projects being advanced by Fireweed. The Macpass Project (“Macpass”) is a district-scale collection of high-grade zinc deposits, forming one of the largest undeveloped zinc resources globally, while also containing the world's largest known accumulation of germanium and gallium 1,2 . The Mactung Project (“Mactung”) is the world’s largest, high-grade tungsten deposit 1 ,3 , with sufficient mineral resources to potentially supply North America’s expected tungsten demand for decades. Macmillan Pass and the North Canol Road (the district’s primary overland access) are located within Kaska Nation Traditional Territory and the Traditional Territory of the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyӓk Dun. The Mactung access road passes through the Sahtú Settlement Area (Tulı́tʼa District in the Northwest Territories), which include both First Nations and Métis communities. US Government Funding to Advance the Mactung Tungsten Project Fireweed has been awarded US$15.8 M (~C$22.5 M) by the U.S. Department of Defense under DPA Title III to advance its 100%-owned Mactung tungsten project toward a final investment decision. The objective of the DPA Title III funding is to progress Mactung to a final investment decision, a precursor to project construction and subsequent production of domestic tungsten concentrates for the North American industrial base. The award will support an expansive, Fireweed team-led program that includes mine design optimization, geotechnical investigations, and metallurgical test programs, culminating in the development of a new feasibility study. A range of environmental studies will be undertaken, supporting the pursuit of licenses and permits necessary to construct Mactung. The program builds on extensive past drilling at Mactung and an updated 2023 mineral resource estimate that supersedes a historical 2009 Feasibility Study. The project also benefits from a positive environmental assessment decision issued in 2014 by Yukon and Canadian Federal regulators. The DPA Title III award is non-dilutive to Fireweed shareholders and no commercial covenants are included in the award conditions that would impair Fireweed’s current business nor its future sale of tungsten concentrates to the industrial base. Fireweed’s own management team will lead the work and periodically report progress to administrators of the award. Canadian Government Funding to Advance the “North Canol Infrastructure Improvement Project” Fireweed will also receive up to C$12.9 M, pending final due diligence, from the Government of Canada through the Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (“CMIF”) to lead planning efforts for infrastructure improvements that would serve the critical minerals district at Macmillan Pass. The CMIF funding will support Fireweed’s implementation of the first phase (Phase I) of the “North Canol Infrastructure Improvement Project” (“NCIIP”), which includes developing preliminary designs for approximately 250 kilometers of road improvements, as well as upgrades to an existing transmission line between Faro and Ross River, and the construction of a new transmission line from Ross River to Macmillan Pass. The effort also includes seeking the consent of local Indigenous groups, completing necessary environmental assessment processes and facilitating multi-party project agreements necessary to advance NCIIP toward construction (Phase II). Fireweed anticipates NCIIP Phase II to be advanced through a collaboration of government, Indigenous groups and industry. Funding sources for NCIIP construction have yet to be determined but will likely involve ‘stacking’ a range of new and existing funding sources, potentially including previously announced Yukon Resource Gateway funding.
