International CCS Knowledge Centre appoints James Millar President and CEO

Regina, SK, May 02, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The International CCS Knowledge Centre has appointed James Millar to the position of President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 24. A highly respected executive with deep experience in energy, industrial infrastructure, and public policy, Millar arrives at a critical inflection point in the development of carbon capture and storage technology in Canada and around the world.

“We need deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions if we’re going to meet our ambitious climate goals over the next few decades,” Millar says. “Many global organizations including the International Energy Agency and the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change agree that without CCS the world cannot meet its emission reduction targets. I’m excited to lead this organization at a time when widespread investment and interest in CCS is scaling up.”

A native of Calgary, James Millar began his career in Saskatchewan, where he was a senior advisor in government before being appointed Director of Public Affairs for the Calgary Health Region. He transitioned to the energy industry, providing public affairs direction to TransCanada Corporation (now TC Energy) during planning and development of major infrastructure projects including the Keystone XL and Energy East pipelines. Most recently, he managed public affairs for Pieridae Energy, working on a $10-billion LNG project off Canada’s east coast, and Pieridae’s planned carbon capture initiative, to sequester three million tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.

With a mandate to advance the global understanding and deployment of large-scale CCS to reduce global GHG emissions, the International CCS Knowledge Centre provides the know-how to implement large-scale CCS projects as well as CCS optimization through the base learnings from both the fully-integrated Boundary Dam 3 CCS Facility and the comprehensive second-generation CCS study, known as the Shand CCS Feasibility Study. Our expertise crosses industries including cement, potash and natural gas combustion. Operating since 2016 under the direction of an independent board, the Knowledge Centre was established by BHP and SaskPower. With growing private and public investment in CCS, the Knowledge Centre is uniquely positioned to advise industries in Canada and around the world in planning, developing and managing this important technology.

Get ready to go viral with your original sound creations with Lomotif’s new feature #OGSounds

The new Original Sound feature on global short video-sharing app, Lomotif, allows users to create original audio clips and create content by remixing other users’ Original Sounds as well

NEW YORK, May 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Lomotif, a global short video-sharing platform that offers easy and intuitive creation, has launched its new Original Sound feature through its “#OGSounds– Go viral with your original sound” campaign.  This new Lomotif Original Sound feature will allow users to create original audio clips and create video content by remixing other users’ Original Sounds as well.

Malawi’s President Vows Press Freedom But Critics Cite Arrests, Intimidation

Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera vowed to protect press freedom in comments to journalists who were invited, for the first time, to the top leader’s home for World Press Freedom Day.

In the event, broadcast on Malawi’s state TV, Chakwera said if his administration feels unjustly defamed by media, they will simply lodge a complaint to regulatory agencies or the courts.

“But we must never seek to harm those who offend us in this way or try to deprive them of their freedom through illegal searches, seizures, arrest or invasive acts like hacking, harassment and Cyber bullying,” Chakwera said. “These things have no place in free society and this is a free country.”

Invited press freedom activists welcomed Chakwera’s words, but said more actions were needed to prevent journalists from being abused.

Teresa Ndanga is chairwoman of the Media Institute of Southern Africa in Malawi.

She told the president that Malawi’s politicians and police have harassed, arrested, and attacked journalists without consequence.

“We have tried to enlighten the public, approach successive Inspector Generals of Police, secretary generals of political parties on the importance of safeguarding media freedom but it is sad to say, sir, that nobody has been prosecuted and there is a spirit on impunity that continues to grow,” Ndanga said. “Your Excellency, we need arrests, we need prosecutions and people need to know that attacking a journalist is a crime.”

Malawi police in April detained investigative journalist Gregory Gondwe, who said they seized his computer and smart phone and tried to pressure him to reveal sources on a government corruption story.

Gondwe’s detention came just after Malawi’s Attorney General Chakaka Nyirenda said he would take action against those who leaked a document used in his story.

Gondwe’s Platform for Investigative Journalism website was later hacked, raising suspicions about possible police involvement.

Social media posts have also come under scrutiny. Malawi police on Saturday arrested a nurse for insulting Chakwera during a WhatsApp debate on governance.

The nurse was charged with cyber harassment and faces up to five years in prison if found guilty.

The nurse’s arrest comes a week after police in the capital, Lilongwe, arrested a 51-year-old man for allegedly insulting the minister of labor in his WhatsApp group post.

Press freedom activist Ndanga said the government should repeal laws that impinge on media freedom and are used to punish government critics.

Chakwera said his administration was working to reform such laws.

“Having worked as legislator myself, I know that the process of changing our laws, can be painstaking and cumbersome, but I am determined to see it done,” Chakwera said.

Malawi’s Minister of Information Gospel Kazako also urged journalists to be responsible and committed to professional standards if they want to continue enjoying the country’s press freedom.
