Calgary-based Volt Carbon Technologies (TSXV: VCT; OTCQB: TORVF) has acquired a U.S. patent for its air classifier technology. The company stated the technology is a breakthrough in graphite extraction. It said it offers a dry, efficient, and environmentally sustainable method for processing large flake graphite. Volt Carbon said its new patented air classifier eliminates the use of chemical reagents and virtually eliminates the use of water, addressing two of the most significant challenges in traditional graphite processing. "This patent secures our intellectual property and validates our commitment to solving critical mineral supply challenges," said V-Bond Lee, CEO, president, and chairman of Volt Carbon Technologies. "The air classifier is designed to meet the growing demand for sustainably sourced graphite. It is a key step toward building North America's capacity to process and commercialize its own local critical mineral resources." Natureblocks Technology – the firm Volt Carbon commissioned to do an independent carbon credit preliminary feasibility study – found the technology offers a novel method in delivering high purity graphite at reduced environmental and operational costs. The study also concluded this new process can cut greenhouse gas emissions by up to 99%. Volt Carbon intends to scale this process and deliver a cost-competitive and environmentally sustainable alternative to traditional graphite processing. The company’s preliminary feasibility study highlighted the potential for Volt Carbon's technology to generate carbon credits valued between US$140 to US$340 per tonne, further enhancing its economic and environmental impact. Volt Carbon demonstrated this technology by purifying the Berkwood deposit to 98% purity. These results independently verified by a third party for Green Battery Minerals (TSXV: GEM). Green Battery acquired the Berkwood deposit in northern Quebec for its graphite-bearing claims. The company is also collaborating with Green Battery to develop applications for expandable graphite, a key material used in high-performance batteries, thermal management systems, and flame-retardant solutions. Volt Carbon is now focusing on constructing a demonstrator unit to validate the air classifier's feasibility at industrial scale.

Zo AhmedNoneBanihal/Bhaderwah (J-K), Dec 28 (PTI) Stuck in snow, while many sulked, some chose to allay their hardships by playing cricket inside the out-of-bounds 8.5-km Navyug Tunnel in Kashmir. Heavy snowfall has stranded hundreds of commuters on the Jammu-Srinagar national highway. Many spent the night inside their vehicles in the freezing temperature and demanded a fast reopening of the arterial road.

The cold, however, failed to dampen certain sturdy spirits who warmed up with a good game of cricket inside the Navyug Tunnel that connects Banihal town in Ramban district of Jammu region with Qazigund in south Kashmir's Anantnag district. A video of the scene showed up on social media and was shared widely.

Authorities on Saturday pressed men and machinery to ensure early reopening of the highway – the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country. The highway was closed down for vehicular traffic late Friday evening after the heavy snowfall – this season's first – rendered the road slippery. Ramban Deputy Commissioner Baseer-ul-Haq Chaudhary along with Senior Superintendent of Police Kulbir Singh visited Banihal to take stock of the situation. Many tourists had to spend the night inside their vehicles in the freezing temperatures. Lakhpat Behal, a tourist from Chandigarh, said they reached the tunnel around 7 pm on Friday and were not allowed to move forward. "We have been waiting in our vehicles for more than 20 hours, waiting for clearance from the authorities," he told PTI near the Navyug tunnel. A newlywed couple from Mumbai was also forced to spend the night in the vehicle. "The policemen asked us to return from the tunnel while we were heading for Kashmir but there were no hotels for accommodation...It is a nightmare to stay in the vehicle for 20 hours with no information when the road is going to be thrown open," the husband, who wished not to be named, said. Tourists from Sangrur-Punjab and Madhya Pradesh said their dream visit to Kashmir turned horrendous for them. "We had decided to visit Kashmir on New Year to enjoy snow. We did enjoy the snowfall but faced a lot of trouble. We were concerned for our children who had to spend the night in the vehicle," Yasmeena, who was accompanied by two children and three more family members, said. Ramban, along with adjoining Doda and Kishtwar districts, experienced the first major snowfall overnight, much to the delight of the locals, especially agriculturalists and those associated with the tourism industry. The snowfall not only ended the nearly two-and-a-half months dry spell in the Chenab Valley region but also turned Bhaderwah, Bhallessa, Doda and Kishtwar towns white after a gap of two years.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Over 18,000 people in Mexico have registered online to run for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships in the country's contentious new selection process , but a random drawing in the end will determine who gets on the ballot, officials said Monday. The ruling party pushed through a constitutional reform in September to make all federal judges stand for election, replacing the system where court employees and lawyers mainly move up through the ranks. Current court employees and their supporters have staged dozens of demonstrations against the reforms, calling them part of a ruling-party campaign to weaken checks and balances and eliminate independent regulatory and oversight bodies. Now, candidates for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships need only a law degree, a grade point average of 3.2, “five years of professional experience” and five letters of recommendation from neighbors or friends. That, and some luck in the final drawing. Officials rejected criticism that has called the process rushed or amateurish for the often highly technical posts that can hear cases including intellectual property, organized crime and Constitutional law. “The results have been spectacular,” said Arturo Zaldivar, a top advisor to President Claudia Sheinbaum. According to the plan, evaluation committees will have just over a month to review thousands of resumes and whittle the field to about 10 candidates or less for each for the 881 judgeships and nine seats on the Supreme Court. Then 1,793 names chosen at random from those selected will appear on the ballot on June 1. Critics warn that many who land on the ballot will be unknowns who perhaps have never argued a case in the courts they seek to run. “You don’t elect a doctor or a surgeon for an operation based on their popularity, you elect them based on their technical expertise, their ability, their knowledge,” said Sergio Méndez Silva, the legal coordinator for the civic group Foundation for Justice. “That also applies for a judge.” With candidates now having to run election campaigns, critics warn there's a chance drug cartels or political parties could finance them to get friendly judges onto the bench. There are also concerns that the evaluation committees deciding who makes the cut for the selection to appear on ballots may not be impartial. Most committee members were appointed by the legislative or executive branches, controlled by the ruling Morena party. Some critics argue that the current justice system, which is riddled with nepotism, corruption and a lack of accountability, needs to be changed. “We need a justice system that gives results,” said Martínez Garza, an academic and former head of the human rights commission in the northern border state of Nuevo Leon who has registered to run for a Supreme Court seat. Trials in Mexico can last for years, and the ruling party has added to the growing list of crimes for which bail is not allowed, meaning that a large percentage of the prison population is people awaiting trial.Nov. 21—A local nonprofit organization providing free community meals will begin operating out of a USD 383 building next year. Common Table in January will move into a centralized location at the Lincoln Education Center — formerly Manhattan High School East Campus — to prepare and serve free meals daily. "They've got a few things they're going to do to try and remodel the kitchen as far as equipment, bringing some stuff in getting some organization done," superintendent Eric Reid said during Wednesday's school board meeting. Common Table, a collaboration of churches providing free community meals, has served daily dinners in different church locations for several years. However, with its move into the Lincoln Education Center, the organization will be able to serve its daily dinners at a consistent location and time. It will continue serving meals at its current locations — all of which are churches on or near Poyntz Avenue — through the rest of the year. In addition to daily dinners, Common Table offers breakfast and sack lunches four days a week. More information and current times and locations are available at mhkcommontable.org . Asbestos removal leaves Robinson building with new potential The process of renovating USD 383's Robinson Education Center isn't going according to plan, but that is opening up new opportunities for the district's future use of the building. Workers still are removing asbestos from the building that previously housed district offices. That project began once officials moved to the Lincoln Education Center, but assistant superintendent Nathan Downs said the work "evolved to be a little more invasive than we originally planned, which included all of the sheet rock." Downs said the original plan was to keep the building's floor plan the same as it was before district offices shifted to their new location. However, workers found asbestos in all the Robinson Education Center walls, and they gutted the building as part of the asbestos removal process. Downs said district officials and high school staff members working with programs that will use the building as an alternative education center are collaboration "to make the space more long-term effective." He said the Robinson Education Center's boardroom is the main space the district will be use for classrooms. "It's creating a very nice opportunity that we are taking advantage of," Downs said. City gives $200K to fund drug, alcohol prevention efforts The city of Manhattan is giving the school district nearly $200,000 from its special alcohol fund to help fund USD 383's drug and alcohol prevention efforts. Special alcohol funds come from the state's 10% tax on the sale of alcoholic beverages, and Manhattan city code requires those dollars go toward supporting programs addressing alcoholism and drug abuse prevention, education, intervention and treatment. The district currently offers drug and alcohol prevention programs, counseling services and social work. Reid said the school district and city will sign the paperwork for these funds at a later date. (c)2024 The Manhattan Mercury, Kan.

Tesla's stock price reached $420 on Wednesday afternoon, which elicited responses from social media users and the company's CEO, Elon Musk . "As foretold in the prophecy," Musk wrote in an X post that included a screenshot of the stock. Tesla stock has reached the threshold previously, but Wednesday marked the first time the share price crossed the $420 threshold since the stock split in August 2022. Musk in 2018 teased he was "considering taking Tesla private" if the share price hit $420, but the company is still publicly traded despite crossing the meme-ified benchmark more than once. A jury found Musk not liable for misleading investors after the 2018 tweet, in which he stated he had "funding secured" to take the company private. Invest wisely: Best online brokers Tesla's 70% year-to-date share price surge comes after Musk, who is the founder of SpaceX and owner of X, was named the co-leader of the Department of Government Efficiency, or D.O.G.E. Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy were tapped to lead DOGE by President-elect Donald Trump. According to Trump, DOGE will provide advice and guidance from outside of the government, and it will partner with the White House and the Office of Management and Budget to "drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before." Tesla also had its "We, Robot" event , where Musk unveiled a self-driving taxi and further showcased the company's humanoid robot named Optimus . Tesla has gone through stock splits: What is that? A stock split occurs when a company's board decides to increase the number of outstanding shares in the company by issuing new shares to existing shareholders in a set proportion, thus decreasing current share prices, according to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority . Tesla has done a stock split twice before, on Aug. 31, 2020 , and two years later on Aug. 25, 2022 . A stock split would not change the company's market value, instead, it would make the stock more attractive to a wider net of investors by lowering the share price. A short-term effects of a stock split can be to "generate buzz," which can cause share prices to increase for a little while, as Forbes reports. A long-term impact would be to hold the company's share price low, but this would only benefit the company if it continues to deliver acceptable shareholder returns. 'Tesla stock is shooting up again!' Musk is not the only one chiming in on this victory for Tesla, as X users have also voiced their thoughts, with some cheering on the company as the stock price reaches all-time highs.

This release was published on openPR.Victor Wembanyama went to a park in New York City and played 1-on-1 with fans on Saturday. He even lost a couple of games. Not in basketball, though. Wemby was playing chess. And this wasn't on a whim: He knows how to play and even brought his own chess set. Before the San Antonio Spurs left New York for a flight to Minnesota, Wembanyama put out the call on social media: “Who wants to meet me at the SW corner of Washington Square park to play chess? Im there,” Wembanyama wrote. It was 9:36 a.m. People began showing up almost immediately. Washington Square Park is a known spot for chess in New York — Bobby Fischer among others have famously played there, and it's been used for multiple movie scenes featuring the game. Wembanyama was there for an hour in the rain, from about 10-11 a.m. He played four games, winning two and losing two — he told Bleacher Report afterward that both of the losses were to professional chess players — before departing to catch the Spurs' flight. Wembanyama had been trying to get somewhere to play chess for the bulk of the team's time in New York — the Spurs played the Knicks on Christmas and won at Brooklyn on Friday night. The schedule never aligned, until Saturday morning. And even with bad weather, he bundled up to make it happen. He posed for photos with a couple of dozen people who showed up, braving a morning of cold rain to play chess with one of the NBA's biggest stars. “We need an NBA players only Chess tournament, proceeds go to the charity of choice of the winner,” he wrote on social media after his chess trip was over. Wembanyama is averaging 25.2 points and 10.1 rebounds this season, his second in the NBA after winning rookie of the year last season. The Spurs play at Minnesota on Sunday.
