EverWind Advances Green Fuels Project to Environmental Impact Statement, Aiming to Deliver Significant Economic and Environmental Benefits for Newfoundland and Labrador 

BURIN PENINSULA, NL, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ – EverWind is pleased to announce that on October 25th, 2024, Newfoundland and Labrador’s Department of Environment and Climate Change issued a letter to EverWind Fuels on its recently filed Environmental Assessment Registration, advancing the project to the next stage. The letter stipulates the requirement for an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to be conducted by EverWind, a step EverWind had recommended in its Environmental Assessment Registration. This decision aligns with the work EverWind will conduct to ensure the highest environmental and community stewardship standards are adhered to throughout the project. EverWind’s EIS will address specific environmental, social and economic impacts that may result from the project and where necessary propose mitigation measures to address them. The full scope of the EIS will cover a wide range of topics and include comprehensive studies on the following: 

Project scope. 

Greenhouse gas emissions. 

Waste management plans. 

Erosion and sediment control measures. 

Effluent streams and outfall locations.  

Noise, shadow flicker and solar glare.  

Location of the project and project components. 

Flora and Fauna studies. 

Occupational information. 

Potential impacts on provincial roads and bridges.  

While EverWind undertakes the EIS, critical wind data collection and analysis remains underway, in collaboration with wind turbine OEMs, aiming to design a turbine suitable for the strength of Newfoundland’s wind regime. As this analysis progresses, EverWind will develop a layout for the Lower Burin Peninsula wind project site and develop a solution to ensure that the project does not require significant interconnection to the Newfoundland and Labrador grid.  

Additionally, EverWind has been progressing work with the Department of Industry, Energy and Technology and the Department of Fisheries, Forestry and Agriculture on the reduction of our Crown Land reservation area. Together, we are striving to minimize the reservation of unnecessary land by over half of what was awarded to reflect the project’s need accurately, and we continue to prioritize alignment with the communities and the recreational and conservation values of the residents of Burin Peninsula.

As part of the EA registration, EverWind remains committed to continued engagement with communities across the Burin Peninsula, having already completed over 50 information sessions since 2022. In addition, EverWind is dedicated to ongoing collaboration with Indigenous communities and organizations by engaging in thorough consultation and providing a comprehensive partnership throughout project development.   

 EverWind’s regional office is located at 215-217 Ville Marie Drive in Marystown. Community members are encouraged to visit, share insights, and learn more about the Project. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM and on Fridays by appointment only. For information on the project, as submitted in our Environmental Assessment Registration, please visit the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Department of Environment and Climate Change website or follow the link here: Burin Peninsula Green Fuels Project EARD

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
