CARMICHAEL, Calif., March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Author and educator Kim Griffin has published her light-hearted and humorous collection of stories about her and her husband Patrick’s experiences raising their sons, Brien and Matt. In “#Curious Connections,” Griffin reflects on unforgettable teaching moments, misadventures in learning new words, and sentimental memories to chronicle her boys’ journey from childhood to adulthood.

“#Curious Connections” explores the gamut of joys and challenges that parenting brings, especially when raising boys. Griffin lovingly retells how her experiences with her sons – often comical, and sometimes X-rated – brought happiness, laughter, and a welcome respite into daily life. Through “#Curious Connections,” Griffin also shares her boys’ experiences traveling, growing in their independence, and becoming passionate about wanting to make a difference in the world.

“The curious connections that children make as they acquire language and journey through their teenage years into adulthood are central to this book,” Griffin wrote in “#Curious Connections”. “Patrick and I have been blessed with raising two sons, Brien and Matt, both adults now. … As they grew, they amazed us with the innocent, and at times curious, connections that they made with language that brought belly laughs to family and friends. I hope these stories bring joy to you as well.”

Ultimately, “#Curious Connections” is a testament to the power of parental love that documents the exhilarating experience of seeing one’s child grow into the person they are meant to become. Readers will be warmed by Griffin’s relatable perspective on parenting and observations of her kids’ silliness, intuitiveness, and intelligence.

“As a mom of girls, I found this book to be an intriguing look into life with boys,” a reader wrote in a five-star review of the book on Amazon. “It was delightful and engaging. I read it all in one sitting. I think parents will find the stories relatable no matter if you have girls or boys.”

“I happened upon this book by happy accident and it is just delightful,” another reader wrote in a five-star Amazon review. “Stories of a mom raising two boys with her husband, the love this mom has for her family jumps off of each page. The author’s writing style is so natural and engaging that you almost feel as if you’re reading a letter from a good friend or family. Highly recommend this sweet book.”

MODESTO, Calif., March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bestselling author, speaker, and coach Jeannette Paxia has published a heartwarming children’s book that teaches kids about the big impact they can have on their communities through little acts of kindness. Colorfully Illustrated by artist Barbara Alvarado, “I AM a Superhero” teaches young people that, just like their favorite Marvel and DC characters, they can make the world a better place by helping out at home, standing up for vulnerable people, and extending compassion to others in need.

“I AM a Superhero” sweeps readers up on an imaginative journey to self-discovery as a child dreams of having superpowers but feels limited by their inability to fly and lack of super-human strength. The child eats a healthy breakfast and sets out on their bike, fantasizing along their ride about saving the day. At school, the child pretends to defend Gotham City as Batman on the playground with friends and helps up a new student who fell and hurt herself. Later, the child works alongside their teammates to find fun and success during a baseball game. At the end of the book, the child realizes they have been a superhero all along – helping someone when they’re down, celebrating camaraderie, and being kind to their body.

“Through this book, I was trying to bring the success principles that Jack Canfield teaches to children,” Paxia said. “I want to empower kids. I was bullied as a child, which really motivated me as an adult to raise awareness about this topic and prevent the violence and damage that bullying inevitably creates. If we can empower and build confidence in kids when they’re young, we can prevent some of the lasting effects of negative experiences like this, so they don’t have to relearn compassion and empathy as an adult.”

Ultimately, Paxia’s book reminds children that they are all important and that they each have their own unique role in making the world a better place. “I AM a Superhero” celebrates kids’ individuality, combats bullying, and builds self-confidence that the little, seemingly invisible things people do are truly what counts the most. The book also provides a comforting message to parents and a friendly reminder to them that they, too, are superheroes.

“The author was able to capture our ‘ordinary’ actions to highlight the value in them,” a reader wrote in a five-star review of the book on Amazon. “The language is clear and the message is profound! Kids would love reading this book and learning these lessons at a very young age!”

“I AM a Superhero”

Toronto, ON, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business (CCAB) announces Chief Tammy Cook-Searson as the recipient of the 2021 Indigenous Women in Leadership Award.

Tammy Cook-Searson is the first woman Chief of Lac La Ronge Indian Band and is currently serving her sixth term. Lac La Ronge is the largest First Nation in Saskatchewan and includes the communities of La Ronge, Sucker River, Stanley Mission, Grandmother’s Bay, Morin Lake and Little Red River.

Driven by a collective vision of community, Cook-Searson played a key role in lobbying for the funding to build a wellness, treatment, and recovery centre in La Ronge. This centre can provide northerners with timely access to mental health and addictions support services, blending therapeutic treatment with traditional Woodland Cree teachings. This $16.1 million project is currently under construction in La Ronge, with completion slated for October 2021.

Chief Cook-Searson is also president of band-owned Kitsaki Management Ltd., which employs nearly 1,000 people and owns or manages more than a dozen companies including Athabasca Catering, Canada North Environmental Services, First Nations Insurance Services, Kitsaki Vegetation Services, and more.

Described as one of her finest moments, during the 2015 northern wildfire crisis, Tammy not only kept community members informed throughout the emergency, but she personally scoured the communities, including by boat for those communities not accessible by land, and assisted in evacuations.

“I am grateful to have had the privilege and honour serving the Lac La Ronge Indian Band for the past 16 years as chief and 8 years as a band councillor,” said Chief Cook-Searson. “Any success I have had, including this award, is shared with all those who have inspired, mentored, and motivated me all through the years to help shape the person I am today. My message to all the young leaders is to follow your heart and have faith that your teachings, supporters, and instincts will guide you.”

The Indigenous Women in Leadership Award is proudly sponsored by LNG Canada. On May 13, 2021, Chief Cook-Searson will be honoured at CCAB’s virtual IWIL celebration. Full event details to be released in April 2021.

“Chief Cook-Searson is the embodiment of what the 2021 Indigenous Women in Leadership Award is meant to celebrate – she is passionate, driven and a true groundbreaker,” said Susannah Pierce, Director, Corporate Affairs, LNG Canada. “We are proud to sponsor the 2021 Indigenous Women in Leadership Award and recognize the life-changing work that Chief Tammy Cook-Searson has done for her community.”

“Chief Tammy Cook-Searson’s strength, tenacity, and commitment to her community is an inspiration to us all,” said Tabatha Bull, president & CEO, Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business. “Through relentless determination and hard work, she is bringing to life a vision of economic empowerment for Lac La Ronge that will be felt for generations to come.”

LAS VEGAS, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Holistic entrepreneur Camille Leon has published an inspiring and uplifting resource that invites readers to indulge in a new beginning as they embark on a journey toward positive change and a better life. In “Fresh Starts: Transformation in Action,” Leon twines her personal experiences changing her life for the better with introspective questions and reflection-focused exercises.

Through her book, Leon shares her story of finding balance and restoration after a long history of putting her work before her wellness. “Fresh Starts” is aimed at helping others find solutions that will be effective for them sooner rather than later, giving hope to those who are tempted to give up, and sharing action steps and practical tools with others who are ready and eager to create a healthier and happier life for themselves – both at work and at home.

Leon’s book also tackles the ever-important area of financial wellness and provides tips and insights to readers whether they are new to managing their finances, looking to get back on track after a critical financial blow, or simply seeking guidance to improve their relationship with money.

“Indulge yourself in the fresh starts you create today: peace, joy, love, abundance, dancing, music, art, creativity, fun, friends, family, health, income, good relationships, smart decisions, and both long- and short-term success,” Leon wrote in her book. “Recognize that lessons learned are in the past and can stay there. Find joy and gratitude in your present circumstances. … This book is filled with short essays, stories, questions, and meditations to help you keep moving forward in each and every way on each and every day.”

Leon’s book presents a timely and much-needed roadmap that helps others drill down to the core of who they are, make choices that support them, better understand their desires, and cultivate a life that brings them joy. With her guidance, readers will learn the value of exploring their options, doing new things, shunning perfectionism, taking leaps of faith, managing time better, and identifying role models. Ultimately, “Fresh Starts” is a holistic guide designed for anyone interested in reshaping their outlook and life through reflections, practical tools, and spiritual wisdom.

“Visionary Camille Leon’s inspiring book is a breath of fresh air for being a positive change agent in the world,” Cristina Smith, author of the Yoga for the Brain series, wrote in a five-star Amazon review of the book.

MONTREAL, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Xebec Adsorption Inc. (TSX: XBC) (“Xebec”), a global provider of clean energy solutions, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary HyGear, and Coregas, a Wesfarmers (ASX: WES) company, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) to develop a robust ecosystem for the deployment of highly efficient hydrogen supply to the transport, industrial and commercial markets across Australia and New Zealand.

Equipped with industry leading technology for on-site gas generation, HyGear will support Coregas with its expertise in the process of hydrogen production, purification and recycling of industrial gases, including installation, operations and maintenance. By combining Coregas’ established footprint of production and storage facilities for compressed gases, both companies will cooperate in building a hydrogen supply business model for HyGear’s steam methane reforming and electrolyser technologies with Coregas’ large customer base in Australia and New Zealand.

“Coregas is delighted to enter into this partnership with Xebec to collaborate on real solutions that drive the development of hydrogen ecosystems. We look forward to bringing our respective expertise and technologies together to deliver turn-key solutions for customers operating across the hydrogen value chain,” said Alan Watkins, Coregas Executive General Manager.

“We are excited to collaborate with Coregas by providing concrete cost and carbon emission reduction solutions for the emerging hydrogen infrastructure in Australia and New Zealand. This long-term partnership aligns with our objective to develop a cost-effective and local leadership in the hydrogen gas industry, helping us establish a benchmark for zero emissions in transport and industry,” stated Marinus van Driel, President of Xebec Europe and Global Hydrogen Group.

The agreement further outlined the mutual support in the business operations of both organizations. In view of the rapid expansion of the hydrogen gas industry in Australia, HyGear recognizes the potential need to support Coregas in the future with its unique Decentralized Production Hub (DPH) strategy.

On February 16, 2021, Xebec announced the launch of its hydrogen supply strategy in the United Kingdom. This included the construction of the company’s second Decentralized Hydrogen Production Hub in West Bromwich, with Buse Gases Ltd as a joint venture. This announcement follows the successful construction and operation of the first hub in Arnhem, The Netherlands, which was commissioned in 2017 and is currently delivering hydrogen to customers locally.

“We believe the DPH strategy will create compelling and sustainable value for our partnership with Coregas and their customers,” said Marinus van Driel. “These hubs will be able to provide industrial customers with low priced, low carbon hydrogen and support the roll-out of hydrogen refueling stations in an economically viable way and move Australia and New Zealand closer to the goal of net-zero emissions.”
