FILA SPEED SKATING CANADA

Speed Skating Canada is partnering with FILA, one of the world’s most renowned premium lifestyle sports brands, to outfit Canada’s national short track and long track teams with on-ice technical garments and off-ice apparel for the next four years.

From competition skinsuits to podium wear and off-ice apparel, the new partnership with FILA will provide Canadian skaters with a fresh new look on both national and international stages. This includes appearances at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina, as well as the seven International Skating Union events set to take place in Canadian rinks over the next few seasons.

“Speed Skating Canada is proud to partner with FILA, a well-respected global brand synonymous with excellence. Together, we’re ensuring that our Canadian athletes are competing in the most advanced race suits in the world. FILA’s blend of precision and technical innovation will help propel our athletes to new heights on the global stage for the remainder of this Olympic cycle.”

– Joe Morissette, Chief Executive Officer, Speed Skating Canada

Canadian skaters began wearing their new FILA skinsuits and podium wear earlier this fall on the World Cup circuit, where they have captured an impressive 23 medals in long track (5 gold, 11 silver, 7 bronze) and 22 medals in short track (10 gold, 6 silver, 6 bronze). The new black and red designs, featuring a unique maple leaf pattern, helps Canada’s athletes stand out from their competitors both on and off the ice.

The FILA brand is well-regarded within the speed skating community, and outfits national federations from the Netherlands, Norway, and Italy. FILA-sponsored athletes achieved remarkable success last season, taking home 12 medals at the ISU World Short Track Championships in Seoul, confirming their status as technical sponsors in ice sports.

This new partnership will bring Canada’s most successful Olympic sport under the FILA umbrella. With a combined 79 Olympic medals – 42 in long track and 37 in short track – and well over 350 World Championship podiums, Canadians have been a dominant force in both short track and long track speed skating, holding a place alongside the world’s elite.

Canadian speed skating fans will have the opportunity to see the new designs in action on home ice during a pair of upcoming international events this February. These include ISU World Cup Speed Skating in Quebec City from February 2-4, and the prestigious ISU World Speed Skating Championships in Calgary from February 15-18.

Brandon Miller – ROTM

Charlotte Hornets’ Brandon Miller Clinches Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month Honors

In a notable announcement from the NBA today, Charlotte Hornets’ guard/forward Brandon Miller has been decorated with the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month award for January. This accolade marks a significant milestone in Miller’s burgeoning career, setting him apart as the first Hornet to secure this honor since LaMelo Ball in March 2021.

The following article delves into the specifics of Miller’s achievements, his season statistics, comparisons with fellow rookies, and the implications of his award-winning performance.

Rookie of the Month for January: Brandon Miller’s First Career Monthly Honor

Brandon Miller has swiftly ascended in the ranks of the NBA, capturing the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for January. This achievement not only highlights his exceptional talent and hard work but also underscores his pivotal role in the Charlotte Hornets’ lineup.

Being the first to win this award for the Hornets since LaMelo Ball in 2021, Miller’s recognition is a testament to his outstanding performance on the court, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Season Performance Overview: Averaging Impressive Season Stats

Throughout the 2023-24 NBA season, Brandon Miller has consistently demonstrated why he was worthy of the second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. In 40 appearances, including 34 starts, Miller has maintained impressive averages of 15.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists.

His ability to rank in the top-10 among rookies for points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks per game places him alongside Victor Wembanyama as one of the most versatile and effective first-year players in the league.

January’s Highlight Performances: Career-High Scoring and Consistency

January was a standout month for Miller, with averages of 16 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.4 assists across 13 games, all of which he started. This period included five of his top six scoring performances, with a career-high-tying 29 points against New York on January 29.

His scoring spree from January 19-26, where he averaged 20.4 points per game, aligns him with notable rookies Chet Holmgren and Victor Wembanyama as the only first-year players to average over 20 points over a five-game stretch during the season.

Three-Point Shooting Proficiency: Excelling Beyond the Arc

Brandon Miller has not only excelled in scoring within the paint but has also showcased his prowess from beyond the arc. Leading all rookies with an average of 2.2 three-pointers per game for January, Miller is on track to surpass LaMelo Ball’s Hornets rookie record of 1.8 three-pointers per game. His sharpshooting ability from long distance has made him a formidable threat and a crucial asset for the Hornets’ offense.

Comparison With Fellow Rookies: Ranking Among the Best

Miller’s exceptional performance places him in an elite group of rookies. Alongside Victor Wembanyama, he is one of only two rookies to feature in the top-10 rankings among first-year players across five major statistical categories. This comprehensive impact on the game underscores his significance to the Hornets and his standing among his peers in the 2023 NBA Draft class.

Milestones and Records: Setting New Standards

With 12 games scoring 20 points or more, Miller has the second-most 20-point games among rookies this season, trailing only behind Wembanyama. His proficiency from the three-point line, averaging 2.1 three-pointers per game, not only ranks second among rookies but also puts him on pace to break the Hornets’ rookie record for three-pointers made, showcasing his impact and versatility as a scorer.

The Rising Stars Game Selection: A Promising Rookie Season

The selection of Brandon Miller for the 2024 Rising Stars Game adds another accolade to his already impressive rookie season. This honor is a recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Hornets and his potential for future greatness in the NBA. It highlights the broad acknowledgment of his talent and the expectation of his continued growth and impact in the league.

Hornets fans and basketball enthusiasts can now celebrate this well-deserved recognition and anticipate more exciting moments from the talented rookie. For those in North Carolina looking to elevate their fan experience, exploring North Carolina betting promos adds an extra layer of excitement to the games.

This opportunity allows fans to engage more deeply with the team’s successes and support their favorite rookie as he continues to make strides in his NBA career.

Looking Forward: Anticipating More Milestones

Brandon Miller’s Rookie of the Month award is not just a personal achievement but a beacon of hope for the Charlotte Hornets’ future. His dynamic play, scoring ability, and versatility on both ends of the floor suggest that this is only the beginning of a remarkable career. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely as Miller continues to develop, looking forward to more record-breaking performances and accolades in his promising NBA journey.

A Bright Future Ahead

Brandon Miller’s ascent to being named the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for January is a testament to his hard work, talent, and the bright future that lies ahead. As he continues to break records and set new standards, the Charlotte Hornets and their fans have much to look forward to.

With Brandon Miller‘s name now etched into the annals of the franchise’s history, the excitement around his career and the impact he will continue to have on the NBA is palpable.

Glenturret Lalique – 2nd Michelin

The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant in Crieff has been awarded a second Michelin star in the 2024 edition of the prestigious Michelin Guide Great Britain & Ireland during the award ceremony that took place at the Midland Hotel in Manchester.

Scottish Chef Mark Donald arrived at The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant in 2021, and the first Michelin star was awarded just seven months later. It was the first restaurant inside a distillery to achieve Michelin recognition. Other awards and recognition followed for Mark and his team, and now, with two Michelin stars, they join a small and celebrated selection of establishments in the UK and Ireland.

Commenting, Mark said, “This is an ecstatic moment for us; we are all thrilled to have been awarded a second Michelin star and happy too that Scotland is getting the recognition it deserves as a gastronomic destination. We are located in Scotland’s Whisky Distillery, and we will all be enjoying a dram of Glenturret Whisky tonight.”

The Glenturret Lalique Restaurant tells a story of the land and its surroundings. Mark captures the essence of the distillery in his menus with nods to the distillation process cleverly woven into his cuisine. Located in Crieff, at the foothills of the Scottish Highlands, Mark and his team enjoy the benefits of Scotland’s larder on their doorstep, working directly with artisanal growers, producers, breeders and fishers, often foraging themselves.

Alongside skill and expertise, there is a clever playfulness in Chef Mark Donald’s dishes, harking back to his Glasgow roots. A decadent ‘tattie scone’ sits alongside lobster served with a paper-thin pastry Bisque-it. ‘Buckfastics’ have also made an appearance.

The 26-seated restaurant is open for dinner from Wednesday to Saturday. The kitchen also serves an A La Carte lunch menu on the same days at the Lalique Bar.

REEBOK + WHR

Reebok and Western Hydrodynamic Research Use Low Impact Materials to
Create Beach Utility-Inspired Footwear

Today, Reebok, the irreverent sports culture brand, and Western Hydrodynamic Research (WHR) announces the inaugural collection between the two brands showcasing two of Reebok’s cult classic silhouettes: the Club C 85 and Beatnik.

The team at WHR is focused on designing and developing beach utility products that facilitate connection to the ocean. This collection draws inspiration from that beach utility ethos and features a
variety of recycled fabrics and suede to emulate the durability and connection to the environment that
WHR pieces have become known for. To bring the shoes to life, WHR mined Reebok’s library of low impact materials to find pieces that could execute that vision.

“We are honored to be on Reebok’s roster of collaborators,” said WHR Founder, Pat Towersey. “We
have been so excited to put our spin on the Club C 85, an iconic shoe that has been part of popular culture since the ‘80s, and of course the Beatnik, which is the perfect slide.”

The Club C 85 ($130, 100200688) and Beatnik ($120, 100200687) both feature suede accents and gum
outsoles to add definition and dimensions amidst the recycled materials. Further detailing includes the
WHR logo embroidered into the signature Beatnik strap and a WHR patch adhered to the footbed of the
Club C 85.

Paired with the collection is campaign content concepted and shot by creative and photographer Emma
Berson. The concept plays with the ambiguity of the WHR brand and balances the serious tone of the
brand name with a lighter, more playful execution.

The Reebok x Western Hydrodynamic Research Beatnik will be available in unisex sizing exclusively at
whr.institute beginning February 9th, 2024. The Reebok x Western Hydrodynamic Research Club C 85 will see an initial release at whr.institute beginning February 9th, 2024, before a global release at select
retailers on February 16th, 2024.

About Western Hydrodynamic Research

WHR is a community based organization that provides immersive experiences, educational programs,
and beach utility products.
All WHR products are designed to be functional and durable while enhancing the users’ experience and
connection to their environment.

The WHR Institute suggests that you wear our products hard and forever.

Exploration w/ Glass

James R. Harlan’s Exploration with Glass was created exclusively for the Trina Turk Palm Springs corner window in celebration of Modernism Week 2024. The installation is on display now – February 24, 2024.

James is a local Palm Springs architect and artist, who creates abstract suspended glass objects called RAYS. Each unique fused glass piece is strung on leather cord in an exploration of color and composition.

“One of James’ larger pieces was included in a group show at Gary Wexler’s studio in 2023, which sparked the idea of approaching James to design a grouping for Trina Turk’s corner window where the light would highlight the color of the RAYS. James’ work will carry on their tradition of exhibiting artists’ work during Modernism—last year they featured Dustin Gimbel’s ceramic cacti, and Aaronel deRoy Gruber ‘s acrylic sculptures were displayed the prior year,” says Turk.

The Exploration with Glass installation will showcase pieces assembled by hand and fused at 1300 degrees. No two pieces are alike. “I’ve always had a fascination with glass. The color, transparency and the reflective nature of glass inspires me”, says Harlan.

All RAYS are available for purchase at Trina Turk Palm Springs.

CHICAGO’S NEWEST ATTRACTION – FLYOVER – REVEALS CREATIVE TEAM AND FILM TRAILER

New Multi-Sensory Experience by Pursuit to Take Viewers on an Immersive Journey through Chicago

Flyover, the immersive attraction that transports guests to the planet’s most epic places through exhilarating flying journeys, released the trailer for the new Chicago experience today.

Located within the city’s landmark waterfront Navy Pier, the multi-sensory experience features impressive aerial shots and first-person narratives, along with leading drone technologies, to showcase Chicago from perspectives never seen before.

Click here for the official trailer to the signature Chicago flying journey

“The Flyover journey in Chicago embraces the concept of the strength of the individual and the power of community that is present throughout the history of Chicago,” said Lisa Adams, COO and Executive Producer, Flyover Attractions by Pursuit. “The opportunity to try and capture the energy of a city and humanity within a city, and to do this in Chicago, was incredibly exciting.”

“When we began this journey and throughout the process, we had the privilege of speaking with hundreds of Chicagoans about Chicago and what makes them proud of the city. As we spoke to all these incredible people, we were excited to find common threads and fuse them into a story that ultimately inspires and brings people together,” said writer and director David Mossop.

Pursuit partnered with some of the entertainment industry’s most creative minds to bring Chicago’s flying journey to life. These include:

1. Creative Director: 30 years of experience as an “Imagineer” at Disney, Rick Rothschild.

2. Film Writer & Director / Associate Creative Director: Cannes Lion Award-winning David Mossop.

3. Composer & Executive Music Producer: Renowned film composer and music producer Elliott Wheeler, most recently known for his work as composer and Executive Music Producer for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis biopic.

4. Music Director: Decorated conductor Rich Daniels.

5. Film Producer, Act 3: Chicago’s Rich Lederer, a production manager and producer recently known for Power Book IV: Force, Empire, and Barbershop 2.

6. Director, Act 1 and 2: Rio Mitchell, from award-winning production and media house, Sherpas Cinema.

7. Drone Pilot: Gabriel Kocher, Ph.D. in astrophysics and Global Champion Drone Racing League pilot.

8. Flyover Attractions COO and Executive Producer: Lisa Adams.

Three Act Immersive Experience

Flyover’s journey begins when visitors step through the door, with Act 1 unveiling a gallery-style experience that introduces guests to Chicago characters, suburban settings, and thematic musical touchpoints.

Act 2 is where the story of Chicago deepens. Stories of the people that make up the fabric of the city are introduced, set to an energetic and powerful musical score. Located in our pre-show theatre, guests will be introduced to real Chicagoans up close and living real life in their diverse communities. Stirring words heard from various Chicagoans are combined with building musical emotions and stunning immersive cinematography from around the city.

Flyover’s climax, Act 3, is an exhilarating 9-minute flying journey unlike anything ever experienced. The audience weaves an impossible and continuous flight-line through Chicago. From 13,000ft above to diving straight down buildings and skimming sidewalks; from wall-riding skyscrapers, floating through fireworks, and even into buildings like the Chicago Theatre; all while choreographed action of Chicagoan lifestyle unfolds: L-trains sparking, boats ripping, car chases, sports being played, up in the airshow, and more.

“From new drone technology developed specifically for Flyover, to a musical score that introduces collaborative new music, to stories of Chicago told by its people, this journey will ultimately engage and entertain viewers with an immersive urban experience that pushes the boundaries of Flyover attractions in both technology and style,” said Adams.

Flyover’s signature Chicago journey will be shown on an impressive 65-foot spherical screen with flight motion seats engineered to swoop, dip, and turn, giving guests the feeling of flight. The attraction will transport 60 guests at a time, with complete sensory immersion using wind, mist, and scents, as fliers hang suspended.

The 48,000 square-foot immersive flying journey is located on the Navy Pier, directly across from the Chicago Children’s Museum at the west entrance of Navy Pier. The new Chicago experience will mark the fourth Flyover experience for Pursuit, which also includes Flyover attractions in Las Vegas, Reykjavik, Iceland, and Vancouver, Canada.

Flyover will debut on March 1. To learn more about Flyover or to purchase tickets visit ExperienceFlyover.com/Chicago

Little Blue Penguin

For the first time, a Little Blue Penguin has hatched at Birch Aquarium at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. The chick made its debut on New Year’s Day in the aquarium’s Penguin Care and Conservation Center in Beyster Family Little Blue Penguins.

“Our team is beyond excited to welcome this adorable new addition to the Birch Aquarium family!
Our penguin colony is truly a diverse group, comprised of individuals from five different zoos and aquariums,” said Kayla Strate, Assistant Curator of Birds.

“While it took some time for our penguins to synchronize to the same San Diego schedule, we’ve created the ideal environment for our birds to thrive thanks to careful observations and adjustments to our breeding plans. Each breeding success makes a meaningful addition to the genetic diversity of Little Blue Penguin populations in the U.S.,” she continued.

This moment, years in the making, marks a remarkable milestone in the aquarium’s penguin conservation efforts as well as cooperative breeding program efforts with other Association of Zoos and Aquariums institutions. This chick is also the first Little Blue Penguin to hatch on the West Coast.

“Birch Aquarium has significantly expanded its breeding and conservation efforts over the years,” said Harry Helling, Executive Director. “The hatching of our first Little Blue Penguin chick is a major milestone for how today’s aquariums can make a difference in a changing planet.”

For now, the chick will remain behind the scenes as the first few months are crucial to its development. The chick is the offspring of Cornelius (male) and Pink/Black (female), however, it is being hand-raised by the aquarium’s penguin care team. This is a labor-intensive task that requires expert-level avicultural skills according to Strate. The sex of the chick will be announced soon.

“I’m so proud of everyone on the team for rising to the challenge,” she said.

The chick is growing daily and fast! In just less than a month it nearly tripled in size, growing from 29 to over 800 grams. During its first few weeks, it was fed a blended formula of fish, krill and vitamins. It’s now alternating between formula and a few pieces of fish a few times a day and will soon graduate to eating whole fish.

The chick is currently covered in fluffy down feathers, however these feathers are not waterproof. The next significant milestone will be the chick’s first molt when it grows in a sleek set of waterproof feathers. At that time, in approximately three months, the penguin will be ready to join the rest of the colony in the exhibit.

The aquarium hopes that this new arrival helps inspire the public to continue to protect our ocean planet as wild populations of Little Blue Penguins are facing numerous challenges from climate change. Warmer waters mean they must venture to colder, deeper waters to find food. This change significantly impacts the overall health of penguins, making it more difficult for them to nest and breed.

“Penguins are impacted by climate change and are indicative of the health of the oceans,” said Jenn Nero Moffatt, Senior Director of Animal Care, Science and Conservation. “It is critical that we not only protect wild populations but continue to maintain a healthy and genetically diverse population of Little Blue Penguins in human care. Our efforts provide sanctuary and serve as a repository for this important bird species.”

The aquarium is hopeful about welcoming more chicks in the future, as additional eggs are currently developing behind the scenes. Penguin enthusiasts can follow the aquarium’s social media channels for the latest updates.
