Leeds Mental Health Advocate Shares Crucial Message with Local School Pupils ahead of Exam Season
Thu, May 15, 2025 10:52 EDT
A new Leeds-based educational travel provider has teamed up with a renowned mental health advocate to deliver a crucial message to secondary school students across the city. This Mental Health Awareness Week (May 12 - 18), Ottimi , an offshoot from the long-standing family business Max Ski , is collaborating with Oly Newton to remind pupils of the importance of resilience through a number of free talks taking place at schools across the city. Oly, an international advocate for mental health and neurodiversity, will be speaking to students including Year 9 pupils at Corpus Christi Catholic College, in Neville Road, Leeds, and Year 10s at 14+ Academies, in talks organised by Ottimi, drawing from his personal journey of overcoming severe mental illness. He said: "Exam seasons can put a phenomenal amount of stress on children, where they are facing the dual pressures of final exams and important decisions around their GCSE options or future pathways. Movement and mindset transformed my life, and grasping how earlier mental health interventions and an understanding of neurodivergence within educational settings can prevent many issues from escalating into adulthood." The message is one which Oly has conveyed in his previous "100 Talks for Schools" tour, in which he spoke with over 10,000 students across the country in 20 days. Ottimi's collaboration comes at a crucial time. Recent national statistics show that 1 in 5 individuals aged eight to 25 in England now have a probable mental health disorder, with young people in deprived areas almost twice as likely to be affected. Mental health challenges in these communities are linked to higher rates of absenteeism, lower academic achievement, and long-term social exclusion. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) such as abuse, neglect, or instability-more common in areas facing economic hardship-double the risk of mental illness later in life. Despite this, access to mental health support in underserved areas remains disproportionately low, with long waiting times and under-resourced services. Initiatives like Ottimi's school talks offer vital early intervention, helping young people build resilience, improve life outcomes, and break cycles of disadvantage that can persist across generations. Tom Bedford, CEO at Ottimi , said: "There are a number of unique pressures that children face today which weren't as prevalent a decade ago, particularly from social media, which we know can place a significant strain on their mental wellbeing. That's why we need to keep adapting to meet these needs to make sure pupils get the most out of their extracurricular experiences. "We're more than just an educational trips provider, we place strong focus on wellbeing, by creating subject- and sports-based school travel experiences that nurture emotional growth, confidence, and a sense of belonging. We push for any chance we can to share these crucial messages of resilience with pupils, so getting in to as many schools as possible this Mental Health Awareness Week is a great way to share this message." Ottimi is offering £20,000 worth of prizes for schools, including all expenses paid three-day, two-night trip for 40 students inclusive of accommodation, food, travel and insurance to London or Edinburgh.

Disappointment as communities overlooked by government green upgrades funding
Thu, May 15, 2025 07:02 EDT
In response to today's announcement from Government (DESNZ) of an additional £630 million to support decarbonisation in public buildings, Social Investment Business expresses frustration as community-run buildings continue to be overlooked: In response, Jack Wakefield, Policy Manager at Social Investment Business, said: "Today's announcement of £630 million for public buildings will be met with frustration and disappointment by the voluntary sector, as they continue to serve communities in draughty buildings overlooked by government support. Our recent research raised the alarm that vital youth services are now having to commit half their entire budgets just to cover energy bills, while 50% of buildings run by charities and community groups are some of the most inefficient, and desperately need green upgrades to improve efficiency, lower costs and cut carbon emissions. At the Spending Review in June, it's crucial the government ends this oversight and invests in vital community-run buildings to safeguard the future of public services." Social Investment Business provide finance and support to charities and community organisations working to improve society, including a new Energy Resilience Fund to support organisations invest in renewable energy or efficiency measures. New research published by SIB in April this year, and backed by Scouts , found that youth charities are now spending as much as 50% of their budgets just to pay energy and water bills, putting their vital community services at risk. The research also found that over half of all community buildings fall below basic energy efficiency levels, with conditions far worse in the most deprived areas. Social Investment Business have been calling for urgent government intervention to invest in these buildings and safeguard their contributions to society.

Deck Rebellion: Revolutionary Concepts for Outdoor Living
Wed, May 14, 2025 17:07 EDT
Once considered nothing but a square add-on to the back of a house, decks have transformed into an additional living space, an entertainment space, a family space, and much more. Founder and president of Deck Remodelers , Sean McAleer has compiled a stunning collection of his artistry and design of these outdoor spaces in his new book, Deck Rebellion: Revolutionary Concepts for Outdoor Living . It combines beautiful photos with personal accounts and Sean's history with architecture. (Watch the book trailer here: https://bit.ly/DeckRebellionTrailer ) Deck Rebellion is a beautiful collection of photographs that emphasize the importance of design and practical construction. It will give any reader 'deck envy!' John Kelly, Detroit Free Press As the most awarded builder in North America, Sean is a revolutionary when it comes to deck design. Deck Remodelers has received over 70 NADRA (North American Deck and Railing Association) national design awards. He has redefined what a deck is and highlights the ways homeowners can use the space in an ever-changing world. Including Sean's top ten award winners, this book reveals the eye of a craftsman and businessman. He goes into detail about the process of the design from start to finish, using distinct examples. This is a perfect title for readers who love architecture and architectural photography, home design and landscaping. Other readers may enjoy it just for the talking points it may give for thinking about their own decks and outdoor areas. Kathryn Picard, Librarian Book Connoisseur, 5-Stars "It starts with someone asking, 'Can you do this?' My answer is always, 'If it's possible, we'll make it happen,'" Sean says. Pools, kitchens, fans, fireplaces-these only scratch the surface of what Sean designs. He highlights the two most important steps when it comes to deck planning: cover the space, and then let the possibilities ride. He asks the important questions of what purpose a deck serves: "How do they want to live in the space? What do they want to use it for? Entertaining? A private sanctuary? Do they have a wedding or another big event coming up? And of course, the kids. Are the kids little? Teenagers? How does the family want to use the deck as their kids grow? What does the client want to highlight-the view?" This superb book is a collage usurping the author's propinquities into expressive realities, an artful pathway that invites the reader to expand expectations and possibilities with photographic examples of concepts progressing to realities. Grady Harp, Amazon Top Ten Hall of Fame Reviewer, 5-Stars Deck Rebellion is a coffee table book that all artists and architects will appreciate.

Shell Shock Technologies , LLC. (SST), a leading innovator in the ammunition industry, is proud to announce its sponsored shooter, John Vlieger, won High Overall and First Place in the Open Division at the 2025 USPSA Buckeye Blast - Ohio State Championship , held in Marengo, Ohio, from May 1 - 4, 2025. Vlieger competed against 289 competitors to finish with 1495.5573 match points. "Battling through steady rain and low 40s temps, I shot all 12 stages of the 2025 Buckeye Blast in a single day-and came away with the win," commented Vlieger. "It was one of the toughest match days I have faced in over a decade of competition, and while I did not feel it was my absolute best, I am proud of the result. Through it all, my gear never let me down. My Rafferty Custom open gun and 9mm major loads, built with Shell Shock Technologies NAS³ cases, ran flawlessly from the first shot to the last. The match staff deserves credit for running an efficient and professional event despite the weather. I'll be hitting the range with the same trusted setup as I prepare for the World Shoot in September." Vlieger has fired over 150,000 rounds of ammunition with SST's NAS 3 cases since first becoming a sponsored shooter in 2017. Vlieger will next be seen competing in the 2025 Bluegrass State Championship, to be held at the Blue Grass Sportsmen's League in Wil, Kentucky, from June 13 - 15, 2025.

Burkhan World Investments (BWI) , a United States-based global investment platform with hubs in Abu Dhabi and Miami, has signed three landmark Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with Saudi partners, totaling USD $15 billion in new investment commitments. The MoUs were signed during the USA-Saudi Strategic Investment Forum in Riyadh, as part of President Donald J. Trump's official delegation , reinforcing the deepening of economic and technological ties between the United States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These agreements span critical minerals, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and dual-purpose defense technologies , marking a major advancement in transnational collaboration between two global allies. Each MoU was designed to align with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 , a bold national framework aimed at economic diversification, industrial capability building, and future-focused innovation. Three Strategic Memoranda of Understanding Signed: 1. Mining & Critical Minerals - Grand Mines Mining LLC The first Memorandum of Understanding, valued at $9 billion , was signed with Grand Mines Mining LLC to launch a new Mining Investment and Operations Company, headquartered in Saudi Arabia. This initiative will focus on the exploration, development, processing, and export of critical minerals -including lithium, cobalt, and rare earth elements-vital to advanced manufacturing, energy storage, and clean energy infrastructure in the United States and allied nations. The company will integrate cutting-edge technologies to enhance mineral extraction and refinement and will serve as a key supplier of processed critical minerals to U.S. and global markets. In addition, the initiative is designed to catalyze local and international capital through Saudi Arabia's capital markets , positioning the Kingdom as a regional and global hub for mineral wealth and strategic resource delivery. The agreement directly supports Saudi Vision 2030 by unlocking the economic potential of the Kingdom's untapped mineral reserves, creating skilled jobs, enhancing industrial capacity, and accelerating the shift toward a diversified and innovation-led economy . 2. AI & Semiconductor Innovation - Watad Digital The second Memorandum of Understanding was signed with Watad Digital , a Saudi private sector leader in emerging technologies.

Tue, May 13, 2025 15:29 EDT
Niagara Parks invests in new world-class visitor experience opening this summer inside Table Rock Centre, just steps from the Horseshoe Falls The state-of-the-art flying theatre attraction will immerse visitors in a breathtaking flight over Niagara's most iconic sites and landmarks, offering views like never before $25 million project marks the completion of a multi-phased transformation of Niagara Parks' flagship site, Table Rock Centre Niagara's newest must-see attraction will open its doors to visitors on August 29. Niagara Takes Flight is Ontario's first flying theatre experience, featuring a massive, 180-degree domed screen that invites guests to soar above the region's most iconic landscapes and get closer than ever to Niagara Falls. Located inside Niagara Parks' flagship site, Table Rock Centre, at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls, this immersive, sensory-rich ride uses the latest advancements in drone technology to take passengers on a thrilling 56-kilometre journey celebrating Niagara's geography, history and people. A Dynamic New Visitor Experience at Niagara Parks with Views like Never Before Visitors to Niagara Takes Flight will experience the exhilarating sights of Niagara from a perspective they simply could not enjoy any other way. The completed theatre will feature a massive 17-metre-wide domed screen and gondola-style seating, which suspends riders in the air, providing an unbelievable sensation that will make guests feel like they are flying through the air. Wind, mist and scent effects complement the dynamic motion of the ride to create a fully immersive experience. Niagara's beauty and character is constantly changing with the seasons and the epic journey offered by Niagara Takes Flight showcases it all, from the energy of a bustling summer day in Queen Victoria Park to a stunning winter evening, filled with colourful holiday lights. Beyond the remarkable sights they will take in, guests will leave with a deeper appreciation and understanding of Niagara's rich history and culture through engaging pre-show areas that authentically celebrate the stories of Niagara's formation, the region's first Indigenous inhabitants and its role in popular culture as a global tourism icon. About the Project In 2023, Niagara Parks completed a competitive procurement process, awarding development of the attraction to Brogent Technologies, the worldwide leader in flying theatre attractions, with recent projects in Vancouver, Chicago, New York and Las Vegas. Attraction industry legend and former Disney Imagineer Rick Rothschild, who was a principal creator of the very first flying theatre attraction, Disney's Soarin' Over California , is serving as creative director on the project. Conceptual design and media production planning began in January 2024, with construction starting that September. Filming for Niagara Takes Flight took place between September 2024 and January 2025, at sites across the Niagara River corridor. Drones were used to capture never-before-seen perspectives of landmarks including the Niagara Parks Power Station, Niagara Whirlpool, Landscape of Nations Memorial, Old Fort Erie and, of course, the Horseshoe Falls. Hundreds of extras participated in the production, bringing the sites to life with authenticity and spirit. The attraction's design and thematic elements have been supported by Canadian experiential design firm FORREC. The Toronto-based firm has established itself as an industry leader, working with top theme parks and attractions around the world, including recent conceptual design work on the award-winning redevelopment of the Niagara Parks Power Station. The rich thematic environments designed by FORREC for the immersive pre-show areas will be produced by Great Lakes Scenic Studios, a renowned, Burlington-based design and fabrication shop with a global portfolio. Under the attraction's general contractor, Merit Contractors Niagara, numerous Ontario-based companies and contractors have been involved with the on-site construction. Next Steps Construction and media production are in the final stages in preparation for the August 29 opening date. Additional details, including behind the scenes footage and exclusive sneak peaks, will be shared across Niagara Parks' social media channels leading up to the opening.

SGS simplifies regulatory approval for food contact substances in North America
Tue, May 13, 2025 11:58 EDT
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has launched an all-in-one solution to assist manufacturers and suppliers of food contact substances in obtaining regulatory authorization for North American markets. Food contact substances are subject to stringent safety standards and need to undergo a rigorous authorization process in many markets before being allowed to be used in the manufacturing of food contact materials. The authorization process, which typically takes between six months and two years to complete, involves complex procedures and specialized expertise that many manufacturers may lack internally. In the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) offers the Food Contact Notification (FCN) pathway, a preferred route due to its two key advantages: proprietary approval and a relatively fast process once the notification is submitted. In Canada, while regulatory authorization is only mandatory for specific applications - such as food contact substances used in infant formula packaging and certain novel processes - it is common practice to seek a voluntary letter of no objection (LONO) from Health Canada to demonstrate compliance. SGS's new regulatory submission service simplifies and accelerates the approval process for both FCN and LONO applications. By partnering with a trusted industry leader, this solution offers a seamless approach that integrates expert preparation of regulatory dossiers with advanced migration testing. Beyond FCN and LONO submissions, this service has the potential to expand into additional markets, providing a truly comprehensive, one-stop solution for optimizing authorization processes. Learn more about SGS Food Contact Materials services About SGS SGS is the world's leading Testing, Inspection and Certification company. We operate a network of over 2,500 laboratories and business facilities across 115 countries, supported by a team of 99,500 dedicated professionals.

Keeper Security Launches New Ad Campaign Starring F1 Driver Carlos Sainz
Tue, May 13, 2025 10:41 EDT
Cybersecurity takes centre stage in a two-part commercial series and social media videos featuring the Atlassian Williams Racing Driver Keeper Security , the leading cybersecurity provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) software protecting passwords, passkeys, privileged accounts, secrets and remote connections, has announced a dynamic new advertising campaign featuring Atlassian Williams Racing Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz. The multi-part campaign, launching today, highlights the importance of Keeper's cybersecurity solutions to protect sensitive information and digital assets. As the Official Cybersecurity Partner of Atlassian Williams Racing, Keeper developed this campaign to raise cybersecurity awareness and showcase its products for consumers and organisations of all sizes, including the historic Formula 1 racing team itself. The campaign includes two television commercials as well as two social media videos. The first commercial, Driving Cybersecurity , will premiere on YouTube on 13th May, followed by Deepfake Carlos on 27th May and social media videos on 20th May and 3rd June. Driving Cybersecurity In this cinematic spot, Sainz highlights the importance of privileged access management in cybersecurity, drawing parallels between the precision of an F1 team and the seamless protection offered by a modern, cloud-first security solution. Set against the backdrop of the Bahrain International Circuit, the video features stunning shots of Sainz, the Atlassian Williams pit crew and the meticulous coordination that drives both racing and cybersecurity success. The video emphasises the need for businesses to protect their most critical systems, data and accounts - just as a racing team protects its engineering, strategy and sensitive data. Deepfake Carlos This commercial follows Sainz as he trains in the gym, only to encounter eerily accurate AI-generated versions of himself during the training session. As the real Carlos and AI-generated deepfake go head-to-head in training exercises, even his trainers struggle to tell them apart. The video underscores the growing threat of AI-driven cybercrime and how both individuals and organisations can protect themselves from digital deception through proactive cybersecurity practices and solutions such as Keeper's password manager and PAM platform. Carlos vs. Carlos This playful social media spot features F1 driver Carlos Sainz and IT professional Carlos Sein. While Sainz races on the track, Sein keeps his company's IT infrastructure running smoothly. Both rely on Keeper to protect what matters most, emphasising that cybersecurity is crucial for everyone and in every industry. The video highlights the growing need for individuals and businesses to adopt strong cybersecurity habits and the right protective solutions. What's In My Bag Designed for social media, this playful behind-the-scenes video gives fans a look inside Sainz's daily essentials, with a few hilarious surprises along the way. The segment reinforces that just as Sainz prepares for any sport, meal, daily activity or race, individuals and businesses must be equipped with the right cybersecurity tools to stay protected in an increasingly digital world. Atlassian Williams Racing and Keeper Security "Cybersecurity and Formula 1 racing share common fundamentals - both require precision, teamwork and preparation to achieve success," said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder, Keeper Security. "Through this campaign, Carlos Sainz's career success and gravitating personality help him connect with fans to emphasise the importance of proactive cybersecurity protection. By showcasing real-world threats like ransomware and deepfakes, we help people and business stakeholders understand why cybersecurity protection is critical." The video series launches ahead of the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix on May 16, fueling excitement for the race. Fans can join the YouTube Premiere of Driving Cybersecurity at 2PM BST on 13th May . The other videos will be debuted on Keeper Security's social media channels in the weeks to come. ### NOTE TO EDITORS: Click here to preview and download images from the campaign.
Mackenzie Hughes LLP Secures Landmark Victory for Private Golf Club
Tue, May 13, 2025 09:27 EDT
Mackenzie Hughes LLP successfully defended Cazenovia Golf Club in a pivotal New York Court of Appeals decision ( Katleski v. Cazenovia Golf Club ), reinforcing significant legal protections for golf course owners and operators nationwide. The case centered on an incident in which the plaintiff was struck by an errant golf ball during a tournament at Cazenovia Golf Club. Allegations included claims of negligence based on course design. The Court decisively ruled in favor of Cazenovia Golf Club, affirming the primary assumption of risk doctrine and establishing clear boundaries for liability associated with inherent risks in golf.
