OLD BRIDGE, N.J., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Calvary Old Bridge will be hosting an informational session with Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey on Sunday, March 28 at 6pm to raise awareness of New Jersey State legislation impacting education. The gathering is a call to action to get the word out to families regarding public school curriculum that infringes on the Constitutional rights of parents and students to freedom of conscience. Shawn Hyland, Executive Director of Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey, will be discussing changes in public school curriculum that conflict with the religious convictions of many families.

The goal of the gathering is to inform parents and mobilize the community to get involved in school curriculum issues and work to remedy the state legislature’s violation of constitutional and religious rights, taking back control of their child’s education. Family Policy Alliance of New Jersey will be informing parents of proposed New Jersey State legislation that aims to protect parental rights. In particular, Shawn Hyland will be discussing Assembly Bill 3000 and Senate Bill 3002 which provides that public school parents who object to learning materials or activity that a parent considers harmful may receive a voucher from the school district to enroll the student in a non-public school. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and learn how to get involved.

Lloyd Pulley, Senior Pastor of Calvary Old Bridge stated, «Parents need to know what their children are being taught in public schools (really government schools). Biblically, parents are responsible for their children, and historically, public schools reflected the values of a community. An unprecedented radical leftist agenda now seeks to negate parental choice. Parents need to learn what options they have in how their children are being educated.»

Calvary Old Bridge is a non-denominational Christian church located in Old Bridge that is committed to equipping families with a biblical worldview whether in their Christian school, home education group or in the public school setting.

All are welcome to attend the meeting on March 28. To learn more and to register visit ccob.org.

MOSCOW, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Arkady Dvorkovich, President of the International Chess Federation (FIDE), presented Andrey Guryev, Vice-President of the Russian Chess Federation, with a gold medal for the significant contribution he has made to the development of the chess movement in Russia and abroad. The award marked the Russian National Team’s victory in FIDE’s first ever online chess olympiad.

The FIDE Online Olympiad held last summer was the largest tournament consisting of national teams ever held in a pandemic. It was a truly global competition, with 163 teams and over 1,500 chess players taking part.

Presenting the medal, FIDE President and Chairman of the Skolkovo Foundation Arkady Dvorkovich, said that PhosAgro’s support as a permanent general partner of the Chess Federation of Russia helped the Russian national team to put on an excellent game and secure a well-deserved victory.

«The Russian national team demonstrated maximum dedication and an unwavering desire to win in each game. Yet what is more important to us still is seeing the great and constantly growing interest in chess in Russia and around the world. We take great pride, therefore, in sharing this latest medal with those who have played a part in developing domestic chess and contributing to Russia’s success.

«The greater than ten-year partnership between the Russian Chess Federation and PhosAgro has been as an excellent example of the Federation’s strong working relationship with its business partners. The Federation’s approach to developing chess needs to be as comprehensive as possible in order to popularise chess not only in Russia but also abroad and PhosAgro has helped with this effort by opening chess classes in company-sponsored schools and kindergartens, creating the necessary infrastructure to conduct chess classes in Russia’s regions and supporting leading Russian grandmasters. PhosAgro has also supported a number of major international tournaments through sponsorship, including the World Chess Championship matches in Sochi, New York and London,» said Arkady Dvorkovich.

Andrey Guryev, Vice-President of the Chess Federation of Russia and CEO of PhosAgro, thanked Arkady Dvorkovich for his continued trust and noted how highly professional the FIDE team’s work has been in organising international tournaments and promoting chess around the world.

«Another golden page in the history of Russian chess has just been written. For the first time, the Russian national team has held the winning spot in the World Championship, the European Championship, and the Olympic Games simultaneously. This is a fantastic result!

«I would like to take this opportunity to note the great coordination between the Chess Federation of Russia and FIDE. The COVID-19 pandemic has prevented the normal functioning of many areas in society, but the world of chess has not stopped for a second. The industry has found new formats and been able to significantly expand the audience of the most intelligent sport on the planet. I would like to wish the Russian chess industry continued success in 2021. On our side, we will do everything we can to help our grandmasters bring the world chess crown home,» declared Andrey Guryev.

Alberta Company leading the way In Carbon Capture and Storage

This event is Today, March 9th

11:30 Mountain Standard
1:30 Eastern Time

CALGARY, AB, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ – Big news from Alberta.

Enhance Energy is a privately owned Alberta based carbon mitigation company and a trusted leader in reducing carbon emissions through carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS).

The company has been making great strides in helping to reduce our carbon footprint while producing low cost, low carbon energy.

Today, they celebrate a monumental accomplishment, having captured, and sequestered 1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

That is 1 million tonnes of CO₂ that would otherwise have gone into the atmosphere, but instead was captured, compressed, and transported to a mature oilfield in Clive, AB where it was sequestered. This rate of carbon mitigation has the equivalent emissions impact of taking approximately 350,000 cars off the road.

«There’s no question that the world is moving toward a more sustainable path» says Kevin Jabusch, Enhance President and CEO. «At Enhance we are part of the solution. We can continue to produce the energy we need to power our homes, our vehicles, and the economy, and we can do it in a less carbon intensive way. We are sequestering CO₂ and we are using it to help produce some of the lowest cost lowest carbon energy on the planet. All Albertans can be proud of this work.»

Now ten years into their efforts, Enhance received funding from the Provincial and Federal governments to move this project forward and support the critical infrastructure to allow for future growth.

The CO₂ is captured from both the NWR Sturgeon Refinery and the Nutrien Fertilizer facility located in the Alberta Industrial Heartland, and then is transported via the Alberta Carbon Trunkline (ACTL) to the mature oilfield near the town of Clive in Central Alberta.  Enhance Energy founded the ACTL Project over a decade ago and the ACTL pipeline is now owned and operated by Wolf Midstream.

Jeff Pearson of Wolf Midstream on operating the world’s largest capacity man made CO2 transportation network:

«This is an amazing accomplishment in a short period of time — an accomplishment that demonstrates the ACTL system is a reliable solution for large-scale CO₂ emissions reduction. The pipeline has excess capacity and will serve as the backbone for a larger CO₂ pipeline network. Emitters can utilize this network to safely send CO₂ down the line to sequestration, keeping their emissions out of the atmosphere.»

The Clive CCUS project reached full commercial operation in mid-2020, and since then more than one million tonnes of carbon has been returned deep underground into our geology.

Enhance Energy is proud to be an innovator- utilizing CO₂ that otherwise would have been emitted to the atmosphere to produce energy.    Enhance Energy is producing exactly what the world is seeking, low cost and lower carbon energy. 

This project has helped put thousands of Albertans to work and helps to generate royalties for the province. Enhance Energy sees opportunity for more CCUS to be an enabler for additional reduction of CO₂ emissions from industrial sources in the province.  Enhance is extremely proud of this accomplishment and this made-in-Alberta approach to addressing greenhouse gas emissions.

This is a good news story for Alberta, Canada, and the world, showcasing that Alberta can and will innovate to remain a leader in producing energy in a low carbon economy.

HOUSTON, and ORLANDO, Fla., Mar. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In response to the introduction of the CLEAN Future ACT, Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB) has unveiled their new programs for companies providing construction and O&M services for the wind-energy sector.

CICB’s ‘Wind Service Advanced Rigging with Lift Planning’ and the management-level ‘Crane Safety for the Wind-Energy Sector’ have been designed in response to the needs of industry leaders aware of the significant uptick in demand for renewable energy. The CLEAN Future ACT sets out ambitious goals, including 100 percent clean electricity by 2035. This follows on the heels of what American Clean Power call «a banner year», as Q4 2020 saw a record high in wind installation with more capacity installed than any other year combined, except 2012.

John O’Connor, co-author of CICB’s White Paper on roles and responsibilities in lifting operations on wind farms, noted the importance of developing training for the wind industry. «There is no doubt that crews working above and below the hook are under increased pressure to meet the growing demands of the wind-energy industry. Operating safely under these conditions is as important as ever.

«Developing an authoritative program for the wind-energy sector was a natural consequence of CICB’s 52-year mandate to furnish comprehensive safety training and guidance for crane and rigging operations across industries.»

O’Connor continued, «It is clear that the ambitious goals of the current administration will spark increased hiring of entire crews that will, in turn, need to be properly trained, certified and evaluated. CICB’s fully customizable ‘Wind Service Advanced Rigging with Lift Planning’ program was formulated to meet the specific needs of contractors engaged in the construction and maintenance of wind farms. Similarly, the ‘Crane Safety for the Wind-Energy Sector’ course is management-level instruction for those with supervisor roles.»
