BETHESDA, Maryland., Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The National Institutes of Health has awarded eight research grants to develop approaches for identifying children at high risk for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), a rare and severe after-effect of COVID-19 or exposure to the virus that causes it. Up to $20 million will be provided for the projects over four years, pending the availability of funds.

«These awards underscore NIH’s commitment to identifying children at risk for MIS-C, which will inform development of interventions to improve their health outcomes,» said Diana Bianchi, M.D., director of NIH’s Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). NICHD and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute lead the NIH-wide effort to understand the SARS-CoV-2 spectrum of illness among children.

In most cases, children exposed to or infected with SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, will not develop any symptoms or will develop only a mild illness. Some children become seriously ill at the time of infection. Others who initially have no symptoms may go on to develop MIS-C, a severe, sometimes fatal, condition marked by inflammation of one or more organs, including the heart, lungs, kidneys, brain, skin, eyes and gastrointestinal tract.

The NIH awards will fund studies enrolling children with diverse geographic, racial and ethnic backgrounds across 30 U.S. States, Canada, the U.K. and South America. The studies will explore how genetic, immune, viral, environmental, and other factors influence the severity of COVID-19 in children and the chances of progression to MIS-C and other long-term complications. The awards come from NIH’s Predicting Viral-Associated Inflammatory Disease Severity in Children with Laboratory Diagnostics and Artificial Intelligence (PreVAIL kIds) initiative. These awards are part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) Radical (RADx-rad) program to support new, non-traditional approaches and reimagined uses of existing tools to address gaps in COVID-19 testing and surveillance.

The new awards will evaluate genes, immune system proteins, and other biomarkers, examine how the virus interacts with the body and how the immune system responds to it. These studies will rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning to interpret the data they acquire, to understand risk factors underlying the severity of COVID-19 and MIS-C.

SAN ANTONIO, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CPS Energy, the nation’s largest municipally owned electric and natural gas provider based in San Antonio, is announcing a new agreement it has entered with the City of San Antonio, AT&T, and Itron, to implement a pilot for Smart Streetlight Technology.  This pilot will leverage CPS Energy’s existing lighting infrastructure and is just one more example of how the utility continues to establish itself as a forward-thinking energy provider that is eager to test global ideas that create helpful local solutions. This joint effort aligns with SmartSA – which is a consortium of partners comprised of CPS Energy, the City of San Antonio, and other local entities with the goal of leveraging data and technology to build a connected, inclusive, and resilient community that supports high quality of life.

As part of their Flexible PathSM, CPS Energy has thoughtfully positioned itself as an integral partner in San Antonio’s journey toward evolving its Smart City Strategy. To accomplish this, the utility has focused on securing relationships with global technology leaders that deliver new products, efficiencies, and solutions for their customers and community. The utility continually looks for new organizations to team with to bring innovative and technologically sound ideas that propel San Antonio further into the emerging and global Smart City era.

«At CPS Energy, we believe great collaborators are key to implementing game-changing Smart City solutions,» said Paula Gold-Williams, President & CEO of CPS Energy. «This approach and new initiative are parts of our creative and broader Flexible Path Strategy, through which we embrace change and disruption, while contributing to the global energy evolution that is already well underway. Despite the challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has presented, we remain focused on moving our industry and our community forward. The project that we are announcing today is another great example of how the right collaborations will help the City of San Antonio and CPS Energy create viable solutions to convert the challenges of developing a Smart City into new opportunities for success.  Both AT&T and Itron are respected global technology leaders, and we are proud to be entering into this strategic relationship together.»

As part of this SmartSA agreement, CPS Energy and the City of San Antonio launched a smart streetlight sensor pilot program. Smart streetlight sensors can provide near real-time operational performance of the utility’s assets, while enhancing service levels for their customers. Additionally, the City of San Antonio will leverage these smart streetlights to test sensors focused on the following:

  • Air Quality,
  • Temperature,
  • Ambient Noise,
  • Parking, and
  • Flooding.

The goal is to evaluate the performance of sensing technology that can be attached to CPS Energy’s existing and more efficient LED lighting systems. The evaluation will include data analysis to help us determine how to use it best to serve our broader community and align with the City’s Climate Action & Adaptation Plan (CAAP) and ozone attainment goals. Aligned to its on-going commitment to its customers, CPS Energy and SmartSA will also prioritize the importance of protecting the privacy rights of the public as it works on this and future Smart City initiatives.

The pilot program includes the installation of smart streetlight solutions in each of the three SmartSA Innovation Zones that include the following San Antonio regions:

  • Downtown;
  • Brooks City-Base, a 1,000-plus acre mixed-use community developed at the former Brooks Air Force Base; and
  • The Medical Center, which is home to 12 major hospitals, the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and numerous medical clinics and practices.

«The launch of the Smart Streetlight Technology pilot program is one of the most exciting announcements to come down the pike in a long time,» said Mayor Ron Nirenberg. «I am looking forward to seeing the results from the Innovation Zones. The possibilities – ranging from energy savings to valuable data collection that will inform city services – are extraordinary.»  

«This initiative highlights what our SmartSA partnership with CPS Energy can achieve when we come together to solve community challenges,» said Erik Walsh, San Antonio City Manager. «The City of San Antonio is taking a data-driven approach to addressing city-wide issues, and the environmental data these sensors will produce can help us meet our Climate Action and ozone attainment goals. We are excited to collaborate with technology leaders AT&T and Itron on this initiative that will move our smart city strategy forward.»

The Innovation Zones were established in 2017 by the San Antonio City Council to test new technologies.  In 2019, San Antonio residents completed an Innovation Zone Survey and identified environmental quality, pedestrian safety and traffic congestion as challenges in the zones. Implementing pilots in these zones is the first steps towards acquiring data and developing practical solutions.

AT&T and Itron will each install smart streetlight sensors in all three Innovation Zones on up to fifteen streetlights in each Zone for a total of 45 streetlights. These sensors will include remote lighting controls and up to five «smart» use case applications: parking sensing, air quality, temperature, ambient noise, and flood sensing. The first sensors were installed in the Brooks Innovation Zone by Itron, and AT&T will install its sensors soon.

«As a smart cities leader, AT&T is committed to delivering impactful solutions that help cities address the issues facing their communities,» said JD Salinas, assistant vice president, AT&T External Affairs. «We’re helping communities by connecting things like utility meters, streetlights and water systems – adding connectivity to help transform how cities serve their citizens, use energy and preserve natural resources. Communities that are contemplating or planning investing in innovative solutions can learn from those who have successfully implemented their own. By taking a programmatic approach, cities can optimize technology investments to create more efficient, safe and sustainable communities.»

«We are proud to take part in this collaborative and innovative smart city program that leverages Itron’s smart streetlight solution and partner ecosystem applications. Through this partnership, CPS Energy and the City of San Antonio can unlock efficiencies and build a foundation for smarter city services, while improving the quality of life for all residents,» said, John Marcolini, senior vice president of Networked Solutions at Itron.  

Results from the six-month streetlight pilot will be evaluated in the Summer of 2021.  Lessons learned will help shape a path towards citywide deployment and serve as the first of many steps toward San Antonio’s Smart City goals.

Jurassic Quest’s herd of animatronic dinos are displayed in realistic scenes that allow guests to experience them roaring and moving as they drive through the tour.  Although the drive-thru experience means visitors will stay safe inside their vehicle, they’ll still need to avoid the swinging tail of our 80 foot-long Spinosaurus!  

More than 300,000 vehicles and 1.5 million people have attended the Jurassic Quest Drive Thru since the national tour launched in mid-July with stops in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, San Antonio, Dallas, Oklahoma City, Detroit, Atlanta, Cincinnati, Ft. Lauderdale and Houston. 

The Jurassic Quest Drive Thru is the only place to encounter some of the largest dinosaurs to ever roam the Earth, and some of the eeriest marine creatures to ever lurk the ocean’s depths, from the safety of your family vehicle. Guests will be among the first in the nation to go on a quest with our adventure-for-all-ages online audio tour that will lead them through the thrilling dinosaur safari. The audio tour is available in English and Spanish, and special accommodations can be made for the hearing impaired. For $49 per vehicle (8 people or less), your dino crew can time-travel and enjoy about an hour-long ride back in time.

Jurassic Quest worked in collaboration with leading paleontologists to ensure each dinosaur was painstakingly replicated in every detail, depicting how we understand dinosaurs looked and moved!

In addition to the life-like dinosaur exhibits, there will be opportunities to visit with our one-of-a-kind baby dinosaurs and our team of dino trainers as well as the chance to capture the moment with a safari-style photo of your vehicle and family transported back in time via a Jurassic setting complete with a dinosaur backdrop.

The majority of the deal amount of approximately TWD 75 billion (approximately DKK 16 billion, or 3.4 billion CAD) will be used to pay for the EPC services for Greater Changhua 1. 

The transaction is still subject to all customary and regulatory approvals by Taiwanese authorities.

Matthias Bausenwein, President of Ørsted Asia-Pacific, says: «It has been our commitment to share our vast offshore wind financing experience with Taiwan’s financial community since the early stages of developing the Greater Changhua projects. We are glad to successfully achieve this important milestone by bringing our reliable and experienced partner CDPQ to Taiwan for the first time. We are equally thrilled to collaborate with our local partner Cathay PE, so that the Greater Changhua 1 will also be locally owned.»

Kunal Patel, Vice President and Ørsted Head of Partnerships & Structured Solutions, says: «This transaction marks the evolution of our partnership model into Taiwan, leveraging our extensive track record of development, construction and operation of large offshore wind farms. With a long–term agenda in Taiwan, we remain committed to the Greater Changhua 1 project and will also reutilize the capital into further developing new offshore wind projects to assist Taiwan in achieving its energy transition goals.»

Emmanuel Jaclot, Executive Vice-President and Head of Infrastructure, CDPQ, says: «This investment in Taiwan, which represents an attractive market for CDPQ, allows us to further diversify our presence in Asia. As an investor with vast experience in renewable energy, we seek this kind of greenfield opportunity to contribute to the transition towards a low–carbon economy. Working alongside our long-term partner Ørsted, and experienced local investor Cathay PE, we are proud to support the Greater Changhua 1 Offshore Wind Farm, which will supply clean power to over 650,000 Taiwanese families.»

Cyril Cabanes, Managing Director, Infrastructure, Asia Pacific, CDPQ, adds: «We are excited to take this first step in Taiwan’s renewable energy market, where we see many prospects and opportunities to collaborate with esteemed international and local partners who share our interest in developing high-quality infrastructure. We are also committed to further expand our renewables and energy footprint in Asia Pacific, building upon this investment and other successful platforms that we have developed in India and Australia over the past few years.»

This investment in Greater Changhua 1 is an important step for CDPQ’s CAD 28-billion infrastructure portfolio. Indeed, this marks the first time that CDPQ is investing in an offshore wind farm in Asia Pacific, which reflects CDPQ’s confidence in Ørsted’s track record and adds the asset to the institutional investor’s long list of investments in solar and wind energy across the Americas, Europe and India.

Jeff Chang, Chairman, Cathay PE, says: «We are delighted to team up with CDPQ to invest alongside Ørsted in the Greater Changhua 1 Offshore Wind Farm project. This landmark transaction represents an important milestone in Taiwan’s energy transition towards a low-carbon future and fits perfectly with Cathay PE’s investment mandate to invest in high–quality energy infrastructure projects alongside world–class partners.»

The 50-50 partnership is the first of its kind in the APAC offshore wind sector and will help stimulate further opportunities in the Taiwanese market for offshore wind. Ørsted will retain 50% share of the Greater Changhua 1, which will be financed by its corporate balance sheet and will deliver the long-term operations and maintenance (O&M) services to the project. Greater Changhua 1 is part of the 900MW Greater Changhua 1 & 2a Offshore Wind Farms, which Ørsted is currently constructing and expects to be completed in 2022.

CDPQ and Cathay PE will acquire a 50% share of the Greater Changhua 1 via a multi-tranche financing package from 15 international and local banks and two local life insurance companies: Cathay United Bank, CTBC Bank, E-SUN Bank, Taipei Fubon Bank, Cathay Life Insurance Co., Taiwan Life Insurance Co., BNP Paribas, Crédit Agricole, Deutsche Bank, DZ Bank, HSBC, Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation, Korea Development Bank, Siemens Bank, Société Générale, Standard Chartered and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation.

The financing package, which was structured and led by Ørsted, will be partially supported by guarantees and/or loans from five international export credit agencies (ECAs); Eksport Kredit Fonden (EKF) of Denmark, UK Export Finance (UKEF), Atradius of the Netherlands, Korea Trade Insurance Corporation (KSURE), and Export Development Canada (EDC), which participates for the first time in an offshore wind farm deal in Taiwan.

NFL’S Week 17 Produces Unique Challenges for Oddsmakers, According to TheLines

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The final week of the NFL season is unlike any other, according to analysts from TheLines, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting market.

LAS VEGAS, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The final week of the NFL season is unlike any other, according to analysts from TheLines, which tracks odds in the U.S. regulated sports betting market. Most teams’ playoff fortunes are already decided, making it difficult to gauge motivation for certain teams. And the best teams often rest their top players in preparation for more important games ahead.

For those games with playoff ramifications, Week 17 offers high drama. And those games typically offer more dependable odds. Games between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, Jacksonville Jaguars and Indianapolis Colts, Arizona Cardinals and Los Angeles Rams, and the matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants all feature at least one team playing for the playoffs. Four of those games offer a spread of a touchdown or less, according to a consensus of the nation’s largest legal online sportsbooks — including DraftKings, FanDuel, PointsBet, PlaySugarHouse, BetMGM, Unibet, and William Hill.

The two outliers include games against the hapless Jaguars and injury-riddled Bengals, who enter their games as 13.5-point and 11.5-point underdogs, respectively. Such games, with one team making a playoff push and the other playing out the string, can produce the unpredictable, particularly against the spread.

«The first and last week of the NFL season are typically the two most difficult to handicap,» said Brett Collson, lead analyst for TheLines.com. «The final week in particular brings a level of uncertainty not seen in any other week, and why odds on games with playoff implications tend to be more dependable. It’s uniquely challenging — and fun — for oddsmakers and bettors, alike.»

The consensus point spreads for Week 17 and remaining Week 16 games, as of Monday, Dec. 28:

  • Buffalo Bills (-7) at New England Patriots; over/under 46.5
  • Atlanta Falcons at Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-6); over/under 50
  • Minnesota Vikings (-6.5) at Detroit Lions; over/under N/A
  • Miami Dolphins at Buffalo Bills (-3.5); over/under 40
  • Baltimore Ravens (-11.5) at Cincinnati Bengals; over/under 44.5
  • Dallas Cowboys (-2.5) at New York Giants; over/under 45.5
  • Jacksonville Jaguars at Indianapolis Colts (-13.5); over/under 49.5
  • New Orleans Saints (-5.5) at Carolina Panthers; over/under 51
  • New York Jets at New England Patriots (-5.5); over/under 43
  • Pittsburgh Steelers at Cleveland Browns (-6.5); over/under N/A
  • Tennessee Titans (-7.5) at Houston Texans; over/under 56
  • Las Vegas Raiders at Denver Broncos (-1); over/under 50.5
  • Green Bay Packers (-4) at Chicago Bears; over/under 50
  • Seattle Seahawks (-4.5) at San Francisco 49ers; over/under 47.5
  • Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams (-4); over/under N/A
  • Washington Football Team at Philadelphia Eagles (-1.5); over/under 42

Sheremetyevo Opens Reconstructed Runway One

MOSCOW, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sheremetyevo International Airport commissioned its newly reconstructed runway one (Runway-1) on December 24th in a ceremony that featured a parade of airfield equipment.

MOSCOW, Dec. 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Sheremetyevo International Airport commissioned its newly reconstructed runway one (Runway-1) on December 24th in a ceremony that featured a parade of airfield equipment.

With the commissioning of Runway-1, which features two new high-speed-exit taxiways, the capacity of Sheremetyevo airfield’s three runways will increase to 110 million passengers per year.  

Officials participating in the commissioning ceremony were Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation V.G. Saveliev, First Deputy Minister of Transport of the Russian Federation and Head of the Federal Air Transport Agency A.V. Neradko, First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation M.V. Babich, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of the Russian Federation for Supporting the Activities of the State Council of the Russian Federation A.A. Yurchik, Director General of PJSC Aeroflot M.I. Poluboyarinov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of JSC SIA A.A. Ponomarenko, member of the Board of Directors of JSC SIA A.I. Skorobogatko and Director General of JSC SIA M.M. Vasilenko.

«We were able to do the reconstruction of Runway-1, which is an important stage in the development of the airfield complex thanks to the current concession agreement between the government, represented by Rosaviatsia, and Sheremetyevo airport,» said Alexander Ponomarenko. «As a result, today we have three runways, which, together with the development of terminal capacity and in the context of normalizing passenger traffic volume, provide an opportunity to achieve our strategic goal: serving 110 million passengers per year.»

Participants and guests of the event witnessed a unique large-scale parade of airfield equipment in which a convoy of 38 items of special equipment used for the maintenance of the summer field and various aircraft traveled through the new Runway-1. Thanks to its powerful technical armament and hundreds of effective airfield equipment pieces and vehicles, the airport provides a high degree of punctuality, reliability and flight safety even in extreme weather conditions.

Reconstruction of RWY-1 has been a priority project for 2020 as part of the implementation of the Long-term Development Program of Sheremetyevo Airport. The total capital investment exceeded $114 million. The project was funded directly, and investments made under the terms of the concession agreement will be recouped from the investment component of the aircraft take-off and landing fees.

Construction work was competed in record time, within 10 months during a period of significant decline in the airport’s activities and revenue and the need to comply with strict anti-epidemiological measures. Construction and installation work proceeded without interruption while the airport was operational. Takeoff and landing operations at the airfield were performed on the existing Runway-2 and Runway-3 while Runway-1 was closed for reconstruction. This has been a unique project for the international aviation industry in terms of its technological complexity and short lead time.

Runway-1 is 3552.5 meters long, with a load-bearing section that measures 60 meters wide. The runway can accommodate all types and modifications of Russian and foreign aircraft for takeoff and landing, including the Airbus A380, as well as future anticipated aircraft types.

The commissioning of a new airspace structure and the operation of three runways at Sheremetyevo airport will improve the fuel efficiency of airlines and the safety and punctuality of flights, and also will reduce the workload on traffic-control and flight personnel through the use of conflict-free arrival and departure patterns.

The modern airfield and terminal infrastructure of Sheremetyevo open up broad opportunities for long-term growth and development for base air carriers and new airlines.

In the long term, taking into account the further development of infrastructure and bringing passenger and cargo terminals to their design capacity, Sheremetyevo International Airport plans to join the league of the world’s largest aviation hubs and strengthen its status as the main transit air hub between Europe and Asia.

Sheremetyevo International Airport is among the TOP-10 airport hubs in Europe, the largest Russian airport in terms of passenger and cargo traffic. The route network comprises more than 230 destinations. In 2019, the airport served 49 million 933 thousand passengers, which is 8.9% more than in 2018. Sheremetyevo, being the best European airport in terms of quality of services, the absolute world leader in punctual flights, is the holder of the highest 5-star Skytrax rating.
