loss was US$18.9 million with a net loss of US$22.5 million leaving it with cash and short-term investments of US$55.1 million The firm did see some good news in the quarter with its Australian partner Energy Storage Industries – Asia Pacific (ESI) raising US$40 million from the Queensland government and private investors to continue building a facility where it will manufacture iron flow battery systems using ESS’ tech It was a similarly low-revenue quarter for Energy Vault, the company known for its gravity-based long-duration energy storage (LDES) solution but which has since moved into battery energy storage system (BESS) integration The firm saw revenue of US$1.2 million and adjusted operting expenses of US$15.2 million with a negative adjusted EBITDA of US$14.7 million and a net loss of US$26.6 million Recent deals the company has completed include a ten-year offtake with an optimiser for a BESS project in ERCOT, Texas, which it owns and operates, and a 1GWh BESS order in Australia Cost of goods sold and other operating costs grew 21% and 65% to US$25.8 million and US$28.4 million respectively and the company saw a net loss attributable to shareholders of a staggering US$342.9 million The biggest driver of that was a “change in fair value of derivatives” on its balance sheet in a piece looking at its results in further detail It expects it to finalise this loan by the end of 2024 28 (CNA) The Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) believes Taiwan faces a relatively low risk from the tariff hikes U.S President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to impose when he returns to the White House in January citing the Trump Risk Index compiled by the U.S.-based think tank Information Technology & Innovation Foundation (ITIF) "the most beautiful word in the dictionary is tariff" as he has threatened to raise tariffs on China-made merchandise by 60 percent and impose 10-20 percent tariffs on goods from other countries which has raised uncertainty over global trade the central bank said in a report that Taiwan is categorized by the ITIF as a low risk country amid Trump's tariff threats The Trump Risk Index used quantitative metrics in four areas -- military spending policies -- to assess which allies are most likely to face tariffs or other retaliatory measures The central bank said Taiwan is only evaluated to have high risks in the trade balance index while its risks are low in the three other areas of military spending While considering the ratio of Taiwan's trade balance with the United States to its gross domestic product (GDP) the central bank said the upcoming Trump administration is expected to look the ratio of Taiwan's military spending to its GDP its ties with China and mutual benefits in its trade policies toward Washington government will decide how to use its tariff hike weapons so the risks faced by Taiwan could be relatively low Taiwan obtained a total score of 1.33 in the index indicating its risk is lower than that of South Korea (0.16) and Japan (0.36) according to the index (higher scores represent lower risks) the central bank said Taiwan boasts strong semiconductor and information and communications technology (ITC) industries which are capable of producing complicated and irreplaceable tech gadgets so the impact resulting from Trump's tariff hikes on semiconductor and ITC industries could be limited the central bank cautioned Trump's tariff hikes could dilute Taiwan's semiconductor resources hurt the country's industrial clusters as a whole and affect exports According to a hypothesis from the International Monetary Fund imposes an additional 10 percent tariff on all of its imports its trading partners could launch retaliatory measures about one quarter of global trade is expected to be directly impacted and global economic losses could continue for years and Taiwan and China are highly correlated with each other economically so if the U.S Economist Lin Chang-ching (林長青) said Trump's tariff hikes and domestic tax cuts could slow down the global economy and worsen investment environments so his policies have become a common concerns of many countries the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research (CIER) which has forecast Taiwan's GDP growth will reach 3.1 percent in 2025 while if Washington and Beijing do not fare well economically Taipei's growth could be cut to 2.93 percent While Trump's policy has created uncertainty for the global economy CIER President Lien Hsien-ming (連賢明) said efforts at artificial intelligence development could continue to drive the global economy ahead adding that global risks and opportunities will co-exist in 2025 According to a recent survey conducted by CIER 28.7 percent of respondents in the local

HASTINGS, Neb. — A state of the art plant built for the future went up in flames before its first anniversary “That evening standing there in the fire you could see the hurt in our employees’ eyes all the work they put into it went up in smoke,” he said Six months after the lightning strike at CPI’s dry fertilizer plant as they use the same blueprints to build on the same footprint I believe the siding's going to be a darker shade of brown,” he said Seelow says CPI had restructured its fertilizer business around this location “This facility serviced farmers in about a 100-mile radius we realized the impact it had not only for CPI's growers This was a wholesale facility with other growers and when that went down it sure put a lot of stress on our local farmers,” he said and two nearby markets for Nebraska farmers “Growers from distances were recognizing they could haul soybeans to AGP or corn to Chief Ethanol and stop by here and get dry fertilizer.” Two-thirds of the fertilizer came in by rail The plant was built to hold more than a dozen different products much of the dry fertilizer inside was able to be reclaimed and reused And while they were able to salvage some of the fertilizer Seelow says he looked on the first plant in wonder “Today they were finishing the last pour of the concrete and the carpenters are on site installing the glue laminate main beams and structure's starting to be assembled,” he said during an interview this week CPI was insured for the disruption to the business When he got the call in May about the fire he assumed a vehicle hauling to the site caught fire With a massive metal tower grounded deep into the soil it should've been more than enough to dissipate a lightning strike “Goes to show you all the plans in the world don't mean anything when mother nature has the last say in it,” Seelow said they're hopeful to be back in business by spring “This plant is once again serving some of the best growers in the world We needed the best facility and we will again shortly,” said Seelow 2019 at the Clark County Care and Living Center in Owen She attended Happy Hollow Elementary School and Neillsville High School 1943 she was

"Her life revolved around her children," Seelow said "She gave her last breath to try and save Briaunna She died doing what she did best: She was a mother." Tonya's family says she'll be remembered for her kindness and generosity "She was amazingly kind," said Corinth High School Guidance Director Lynne Jenkins "She was that student that was worried about everyone else and donated her free time to community service [Its] sole purpose is to provide community service," Jenkins said she was involved in the food drive for the local food pantry So she was always one to think about other people." The Corinth community is mirroring Tonya and Briaunna's giving nature "This community is always there when we have people in need," Jenkins said "When I left here last night and drove through town the Methodist church parking lot was full of people who were there to provide clothing and food to this family the mother and daughter had a far-reaching impact "There's probably no one in this community that hasn't been impacted by this tragic loss," Jenkins said Donations are still being collected at the First Methodist Church in Corinth Tonya's sisters say the focus is on finding long-term housing for the father and the other children Spectrum News is also told there's also a vigil planned for 6 p.m Wednesday at the corner of Beech and Main streets If you would like to help the family, a GoFundMe page has been created STATEWIDE (WGME) -- It's no secret that Maine is in the middle of an unprecedented real estate market when it comes to existing home sales So what does the demand for farmland property look like "This is not something we've seen in the recent past," says Adam Bishop at Maine Farmland Trust He says their mission is to protect farmland support farmers and advance the future of farming in Maine Bishop says farmland here has always been attractive to out-of-state buyers "We have a great support system for new and beginning farmers," says Bishop "And Maine still has a really good climate for farming even in the face of climate change we don't have the natural disaster situations like they do out west with drought and fire and things like that." But the demand he's seeing now has reached another level "Just like with the residential market there's not a lot of inventory for sale right now in terms of farms and farmland in Maine," says Bishop And what does become available tends to go really quickly and if you go out looking for farmland in Maine right now you're not going to be able to find a whole lot of it listed for sale." Maine Farmland Trust has a program called Maine Farm Link that helps connect people who want to buy farmland with owners looking to sell there were 14 farms listed for sale compared to 56 farm seekers Bishop says it's important to protect that property "Over 400,000 acres of Maine Farmland is going to change hands in the next 10 years," he says "And many of those land owners don't have the will or a plan for who's going to come onto their property after they're done farming So we work with farmland owners and farmers that want to permanently protect their land from non-agricultural development."
