Sarah Leonard says city in ‘good place’ for next Visit Longmont CEO

During her time with Visit Longmont, Sarah Leonard tried to champion Longmont’s best features. From its excellent breweries to its convenient location along the Front Range, Leonard made sure to listen to what Longmont fans loved about the city. Leonard served as the chief executive officer of Visit Longmont, the destination marketing organization for the city, from early 2023 until earlier this month. On Dec. 1, Leonard will become the CEO of Visit Estes Park, which promotes the amenities of the Estes Park region. As CEO of Visit Longmont, Leonard guided the nonprofit through decisions aimed at making Longmont a true tourist destination. One of those decisions was the sponsoring the Ice Climbing and Dry Tooling World Cup, which was held at Longmont Climbing Collective in February. The event attracted athletes from around the world. By sponsoring and spreading the word about the event, Visit Longmont helped bring the ice climbing competition to Longmont for the first time. Longmont Climbing Collective, which has a five-year deal to host the competition, is already gearing up for next year’s World Cup weekend. “I just think that is the right size, the right vibe,” Leonard said of the competition. “Teams came and spent time at our hotels and also at our short-term rentals.” Another recent addition to the city’s tourism sector was the Longmont Tourism Improvement District. The special district places an additional fee on lodging businesses in the city, and the revenue will fund marketing programs and tourism improvements for Longmont. Visit Longmont spearheaded the formation of the district, talking to hotel partners about the program early last year. The Longmont City Council approved the establishment of the LTID in August. The proposed 2% tourism improvement district fee is estimated to raise an additional $450,000 annually. While the district is still in its infancy, Leonard believes that the revenue generated by the LTID will strengthen Longmont’s reputation as a vibrant place to visit. “It all goes into a pool for destination marketing, which makes, I think, Longmont more competitive,” Leonard said. “When we bring in new visitors who stay overnight, they’re spending more time and then more money supporting our local businesses. That can benefit everyone.” Leonard also presided over Visit Longmont during the birth of its mascot, Monty the Longmonster. Monty was chosen by locals to be the face of the city and can be spotted at community events. Leonard anticipates staying involved in Longmont’s activities going forward, citing “great collaboration” between the northern Colorado destination marketing organizations. Reflecting on what makes Longmont stand out as a tourist destination, Leonard highlighted the city’s museum, evolving food scene and diverse population. “Having that infusion of culture is really appealing to both visitors and residents,” she said. Applications for Visit Longmont CEO are open for another week. Leonard said she hopes the next leader of the nonprofit will take advantage of the new events coming to the region, such as the Sundance Film Festival. “Longmont is in such a good place for the next person to really take it to the next level, because it has so many exciting things going on,” she said.

GRAND OPENING: The Adriana Groza Art Gallery & Studio opens in the former Kopp’s Cycle building at 38 Spring Street on Tuesday, November 25 from 5: 25 to 7: 25 p. m. (Photo courtesy of Adriana Groza) Award winning artist Adriana Groza has announced the ribbon cutting and grand opening of the Adriana Groza Art Gallery & Studio, located at 38 Spring Street, on Tuesday, November 25, from 5: 25 to 7: 25 p. m. The event marks more than the unveiling of a new creative space it celebrates the 21st anniversary of Adriana and her husband’s arrival in the U. S., a day symbolizing a leap of faith, new beginnings, and the pursuit of dreams. “This is a day of many firsts,” said Groza. “It represents the moment I stepped onto new soil with hope in my heart and dreams in my spirit. To now open my own gallery in the heart of Princeton, surrounded by community and purpose, feels like full circle.” Groza is no stranger to the Princeton arts community. Since 2021, she has maintained an active working studio at Princeton Makes, the artist cooperative in the Princeton Shopping Center founded by Jim Levine. “Jim has been an instrumental mentor and supporter of my growth,” said Groza. “Princeton Makes gave me a home, a creative family, and the confidence to expand into this next chapter.” Housed in the Kopp’s Cycle building, the gallery opens at a time of cultural momentum in Princeton, coinciding with the upcoming reopening of the Princeton University Art Museum and the nation’s 250th anniversary in 2026. “At Princeton Property Partners, we believe art strengthens local economies and public life; that’s why we’re thrilled to welcome Adriana Groza to the historic Kopp’s Cycle building,” said Aubrey Haines, CEO of Princeton Property Partners and president of Experience Princeton. “Adriana’s presence will amplify cultural value, spur foot traffic, and deepen community engagement, aligning with our commitment to human-centered destinations where innovation and culture thrive.” Groza’s journey to this moment was shaped by years of community support and collaboration. Princeton Councilwoman Michele Pirone Lambros, an advocate for local business growth, has been a key supporter of Groza’s quest for a permanent home in town. “Adriana’s new gallery is a wonderful addition to Spring Street, showcasing her beautiful artwork that brightens the corner and brings new vibrancy to the entire downtown,” said Lambros. “Adriana’s connection with property owner Aubrey Haines began at an Experience Princeton meetup a perfect example of how networking events can help turn entrepreneurs’ dreams into reality through community support and collaboration,” added Lambros. Groza’s work, celebrated for its movement, emotion, and bold use of color, has been featured in regional, national, and international private and public collections. The new gallery will serve as both a showcase of her original paintings and a creative hub for workshops, exhibitions, and community engagement. Gallery Hours are Saturday and Sunday from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m., and weekdays by chance or appointment.

Google bets big on Texas with $40B data center plan

Posted on by

**Google to Invest $40 Billion in New Texas Data Centers Amid Growing AI Infrastructure Boom**

Alphabet Inc.’s Google announced plans to invest $40 billion in three new data centers in Texas, significantly expanding its footprint in the state. This investment, expected to continue through 2027, comes as competitors like OpenAI and Anthropic PBC also make substantial commitments to Texas.

According to a statement released by Google on Friday, November 14, one data center will be located in Armstrong County within the Texas Panhandle, while two others will be established in Haskell County, near Abilene.

“This investment will create thousands of jobs, offer skills training for college students and electrical apprentices, and speed up energy affordability projects across Texas,” said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, during an event near Dallas, where Google already operates two other data centers.

### Texas: A Growing Hub for Data Centers and AI Investment

Texas has become an attractive destination for data center investments due to its lower energy costs, abundant available land, and supportive state government infrastructure tailored to the growing artificial intelligence sector.

Google emphasized its commitment to enhancing local energy resources, covering operational costs, and supporting community energy efficiency programs as part of its expansion plans. The company also announced an electrical training program aimed at increasing the number of apprentices in Texas, supported by Google.org’s AI Opportunity Fund.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott, present at the event with Pichai, endorsed these developments, predicting that Texas will become the primary hub for Google’s AI data centers. “Companies can come to Texas and carry out their operations knowing that the state acts quickly in business,” Abbott said.

Following the announcement, Alphabet’s stock saw a 1.7% rise in after-hours trading, up from a closing price of $276.41 in New York.

### Texas Attracting Major Tech Investments

Texas continues to solidify its reputation as a prime location for tech-related investments.

Earlier this week, Anthropic announced plans to invest $50 billion in data centers across the U.S., including sites in New York and Texas—states known for ample land and lower energy costs. These data centers are part of Anthropic’s strategy to stay competitive in the AI infrastructure market and are being developed in collaboration with Fluidstack.

OpenAI, Oracle Corporation, and SoftBank Group Corporation are jointly supporting the Stargate project, which recently broke ground on its first data center in Abilene, Texas. Company leaders have indicated plans to build additional facilities within the state.

Meta Platforms Inc. is also constructing a new data center in Texas capable of generating one gigawatt of power—a capacity sufficient to power approximately 750,000 people simultaneously.

Microsoft Corporation signed a nearly $10 billion, five-year agreement earlier this month to secure computing capacity in Texas, further underlining the state’s growing importance in the tech infrastructure landscape.

Fermi Inc., a real estate investment trust co-founded by Rick Perry (former Governor of Texas and Energy Secretary under President Donald Trump), revealed plans to build four nuclear power reactors in Texas to support a private data center campus.

### Google’s Expanding Capital Expenditure on AI and Cloud Services

Analysts note that Google is known for its significant capital spending. This year, the company expects to invest over $90 billion in capital expenses, a figure that surpasses earlier estimates. The majority of this investment will focus on servers, customized chips, and new data centers to bolster its AI and cloud service capabilities.

With Texas emerging as a central hub for AI infrastructure, Google’s multi-billion-dollar investment signals the company’s commitment to expanding its presence in the state and the broader tech ecosystem.

Nintendo Partners with LEGO for New The Legend of Zelda Set Arriving in 2026

Nintendo has teamed up with LEGO once again, this time to bring fans a brand-new set based on the iconic series, The Legend of Zelda. The upcoming LEGO set is scheduled for release in 2026 and will feature the beloved Hero of Time, Link.

Earlier today, Nintendo teased fans with a sneak peek of the new Zelda LEGO set through a video shared on social media. This first look reveals the new LEGO Link figure, showcasing the blond protagonist in his classic green tunic and hat. The figure comes equipped with the signature Master Sword and Hylian Shield, accompanied by a fairy floating nearby.

This is set to be the second LEGO set inspired by The Legend of Zelda franchise. Last year, LEGO launched a set centered around the Great Deku Tree, which included minifigures of both Link and Princess Zelda. Beyond Zelda, LEGO has also released sets featuring other Nintendo favorites such as Mario, Bowser, and Donkey Kong.

Although Nintendo has provided a link to the official LEGO store page for this collaboration, it currently leads to an error code. Details about what additional elements will be included in the new set, apart from the new Link figure, remain under wraps for now.

Fans will have to wait for further announcements to learn more about this exciting LEGO and Nintendo partnership. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to the 2026 release!

Ripple and Mastercard Test Secret Stablecoin System for Card Payments

**Ripple and Mastercard Partner to Test RLUSD Stablecoin Payments for Real-Time Fiat Card Settlements**

Ripple has announced a new partnership with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini to test RLUSD stablecoin payments. This collaboration aims to leverage Ripple’s XRPL platform to process real-time fiat card settlements securely and efficiently. The trial will evaluate the potential of blockchain technology to support mainstream financial transactions.

### Ripple Partners with Mastercard for On-Chain Settlements

In this collaboration, Ripple will work with Mastercard and WebBank to enable on-chain settlements for fiat card payments. The test will assess how the RLUSD stablecoin performs within Mastercard’s extensive global payment network. Additionally, the trial will examine compliance and operational stability for regulated financial institutions involved.

Mastercard plans to integrate Ripple’s XRPL platform to manage the settlement layer of these payments, aiming to bridge blockchain efficiency with traditional financial systems. The companies expect this system to provide fast, transparent settlements to participating institutions.

Sherri Haymond, Global Head of Digital Commercialization at Mastercard, commented on the partnership’s goal:
“Through our partnerships with Ripple, Gemini, and WebBank, we’re using our global payments network to bring regulated, open-loop stablecoin payments into the financial mainstream.” She emphasized Mastercard’s belief that stablecoins can offer a secure and compliant transaction layer for banks and issuers.

### RLUSD Stablecoin Enters Regulated Payment Testing

Central to this pilot program is Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. The coin will facilitate settlements between Mastercard and WebBank, the issuer of the Gemini credit card involved in the trial. This initiative marks the first use of a regulated on-chain stablecoin for fiat settlement.

Currently, the RLUSD token has a total supply of $2 billion, with steady growth in the stablecoin market. Ripple envisions RLUSD as a reliable digital asset capable of supporting large-scale institutional transactions. The company highlights RLUSD’s controlled expansion as a reflection of its commitment to compliance and long-term stability.

Jason Lloyd, President and CEO of WebBank, emphasized the bank’s role in the project:
“Banks are uniquely positioned to bridge innovative blockchain technology with the stability of the traditional financial system.” WebBank will oversee settlement functions, ensuring regulatory oversight throughout the testing phase.

### XRPL to Demonstrate Institutional Settlement Capacity

The XRPL platform will power all transactions within this trial. Ripple originally developed XRPL to handle up to 1,500 transactions per second with minimal costs. Now, the system will be evaluated for its capacity to deliver institutional-grade payment efficiency.

Ripple President Monica Long stated that regulated stablecoins like RLUSD have the potential to enhance financial settlement systems. She added that Ripple’s goal is to expand XRPL’s presence in institutional finance through compliance-driven innovation and plans to integrate future programs once regulatory approvals are secured.

Currently, the XRPL network supports about 7,000 active wallets daily. Ripple continues to maintain XRP as one of the top 10 cryptocurrency assets by market value, with XRP trading steadily at around $2.31, reflecting consistent market interest.

### Regulatory Approval and Future Outlook

Before full deployment, regulators must approve RLUSD’s onboarding. Ripple and its partners will coordinate settlement processes once the necessary approvals are granted. This trial represents a landmark collaboration between a regulated U.S. bank and an on-chain settlement network.

This partnership signals a significant step toward integrating blockchain technology with traditional financial infrastructures, aiming to provide faster, more transparent, and compliant payment solutions.

Six-million-year-old Antarctic ice reveals secrets of a warmer ancient Earth

Posted on by
Reply

Scientists have discovered the oldest directly dated ice on Earth—an incredible six million years old—deep in the frozen expanse of East Antarctica. The ice, along with ancient air bubbles trapped inside, offers a rare and powerful glimpse into what our planet’s climate was like when global temperatures and sea levels were far higher than they are today.

The discovery was made in the Allan Hills region by a U.S. research team from the Center for Oldest Ice Exploration (COLDEX), a collaboration of 15 institutions led by Oregon State University. The findings were published in the journal *Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences*.

“Ice cores are like time machines,” says Sarah Shackleton of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, one of the study’s lead scientists. “They let us see how Earth’s atmosphere and climate changed over time. The Allan Hills cores take us back much further than we ever imagined possible.”

Until now, the oldest ice directly dated by scientists was around 2.7 million years old. The new six-million-year-old sample more than doubles that record, opening a new window into an era when Antarctica’s climate was significantly warmer and large parts of its ice sheet may have melted, raising global sea levels.

John Higgins of Princeton University, another lead author, explains that the team used a noble gas isotope of argon trapped within the ancient air bubbles to directly date the ice. “This method allows us to measure the age of the ice itself, rather than relying on the age of nearby rocks or sediments,” he says. “What we have is a library of climate snapshots that are six times older than any previous ice core data.”

The COLDEX team found the ancient ice in a very different setting from traditional deep ice core sites. Instead of drilling more than two kilometers below the surface, they targeted the edges of the ice sheet in the Allan Hills, where wind, cold, and rugged terrain preserve ancient ice closer to the surface.

The team spent months in remote field camps drilling through one to two hundred meters of ice under extreme conditions. “We’re still figuring out how ice that old has survived so close to the surface,” Shackleton explains. “It’s probably a combination of strong winds that sweep away snow and the intense cold that keeps the ice nearly motionless. The Allan Hills are one of the best—and toughest—places on Earth to find shallow, ancient ice.”

Temperature readings taken from oxygen isotopes in the cores show that Antarctica has cooled by about 12 degrees Celsius (roughly 22 degrees Fahrenheit) over the past six million years. This marks the first direct measurement of how much the continent’s climate has changed since that time.

The researchers are now analyzing the ice for traces of greenhouse gases and ocean changes to better understand how natural climate shifts occurred before humans began influencing the planet’s atmosphere.

“This ancient ice will help us understand how Earth’s climate system responds to warmth and high carbon dioxide levels—conditions that may echo our own future,” says COLDEX Director Ed Brook of Oregon State University.

The team plans to return to the Allan Hills soon to continue drilling. “Given the spectacularly old ice we’ve already found,” Brook says, “we believe there’s an even deeper record waiting below—one that could stretch our knowledge of Earth’s climate history even further back in time.”

Shah Rukh Khan to resume shooting for King on November 5 in Mumbai: Report

After a weekend packed with birthday celebrations marking his 60th milestone, Shah Rukh Khan is set to return to work with renewed vigour. The superstar, who celebrated his birthday with an intimate gathering at his Alibaug property and a special fan meet in Mumbai, will be back on set for his much-awaited action film *King* starting November 5 at Yash Raj Studios, Andheri.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, *King* marks Shah Rukh Khan’s first on-screen collaboration with his daughter Suhana Khan, alongside Abhishek Bachchan. The project, which began principal photography in June 2025, is generating buzz not only for its casting but also for its ambitious action sequences.

A report by Mid-Day stated that the stunt unit has spent nearly three weeks rehearsing for a high-octane leg of filming — a hybrid chase-combat set piece that is set to push boundaries for Bollywood action. The upcoming 15-20 day schedule will centre around complex stunt choreography, combining hand-to-hand combat with tactical gunplay, wire-assisted jumps, and close-quarter grappling.

Shah Rukh Khan, known for his commitment to roles, will reportedly perform several of these intricate action beats himself. The team is employing a custom-designed rig to ensure both safety and spectacular results.

Director Siddharth Anand, who last teamed up with Shah Rukh for the record-smashing *Pathaan* in 2023, recently unveiled the film’s first look on November 2. The initial visuals introduced the audience to a transformed King Khan and gave a glimpse into the stylish, action-packed world that *King* promises.

The film aims to wrap up its dramatic portions by the end of the year, with the remaining key action sequences and musical numbers scheduled for completion soon after.
