DOWNERS GROVE, Illinois, April 8 -- CompTIA posted the following news release:
* * *
Take the next step in AI skills building with new CompTIA AI Agent Essentials
Focus on agentic thinking helps learners develop confidence and competence
*
Building the confidence to work with artificial intelligence (AI) agents is the focus of the newest educational offering from CompTIA, the leading global provider of vendor-neutral information technology (IT) training and certifications.
CompTIA AI Agent Essentials is a hands-on course for non-technical and "lightly" technical professionals who work withAI agents. It is the latest addition to the CompTIA Essentials Series of learning resources, created to help people build foundational knowledge, use AI and other technologies in job-specific roles and expand their AI skills.
"As AI agents become embedded across enterprise tools and workflows, a broad segment of the workforce will need the ability to understand the many facets of working with agents and agentic systems," said Katie Hoenicke, chief product officer, CompTIA. "This course provides advanced, future-relevant AI literacy that is widely applicable for knowledge workers, managers, tech-adjacent teams and others."
CompTIA AI Agent Essentials uses realistic workplace scenarios and guided examples to help learners better understand agent behavior, identify appropriate and inappropriate use cases and participate responsibly in organizations where agents are part of everyday work.
"The emphasis is on agentic thinking: how agent-based systems differ from traditional chatbots and automations; how agent workflows are structured; and how autonomy and tool use change responsibilities and risks," said Henry Mann, senior director, product development, CompTIA.
All instruction is presented in vendor-neutral settings, so learners improve their understanding of how agents work at a conceptual and architecture level before worrying about how to build an agent click-by-click in specific tools. This approach makes CompTIA AI Agent Essentials well positioned as an educational resource for an academic program or in any organization investing in multiple agentic systems.
Skillsets covered in the course include:
* Understanding AI agents and identifying appropriate use cases
* Translating work into agent workflows
* Controlling agent behavior and actions
* Managing agent memory and knowledge
* Designing safe, secure agents with human oversight
* Testing, evaluating and monitoring agent performance
"Learners who complete the course are better prepared to collaborate effectively with technical teams; make informed adoption decisions; and recognize the implications of agentic systems on workflows, accountability and trust," Mann said.
CompTIA AI Agent Essentials is particularly relevant for knowledge workers and learners who understand the fundamentals of generative AI and use tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini, but do not yet understand how AI agents operate. In the academic world CompTIA AI Agent Essentials can be a bridge between introductory generative AI coursework and more advanced automation, data or AI system design topics.
The CompTIA Essentials Series also includes courses in AI, AI prompting, business, cloud computing, data analysis, help desk, marketing, project management, sales and soft skills.

Kalesnikoff Unveils 'Mass Timber Classroom'
Canada-based Kalesnikoff Mass Timber is unveiling new "modular timber classrooms."
The new niche, per the company, aims to fill a need for speedy construction and refurbishment at schools across North America.
"Many communities in North America are growing, leaving local schools at capacity. These new modulars can be built and deployed rapidly, are cost effective, and create a warm and exceptionallearning environment for students and staff," said Chris Kalesnikoff, President and CEO of Kalesnikoff. "We're excited to showcase this classroom here at the conference and then to other educators and decision-makers - we think this is the way of the future."
"Given the rising costs and other challenges of traditional construction, and ongoing labor shortages, these modular classrooms - like modular housing - are generating a lot of interest," said Kalesnikoff.
Kalesnikoff says its mass timber classrooms can be configured as a single classroom or combined for an expansion--or even as a complete new school, in a single story or stacked format. The classrooms are designed for timely assembly, delivery and site installation and are complete with digital, heating and plumbing pre-installed.
Constructed of cross-laminated timber (CLT) from Kalesnikoff's own mass timber facility in the West Kootenays, the modulars feature CLT floors, walls, and ceiling.

WASHINGTON, April 8 -- The Consumer Healthcare Products Association issued the following news release:

Industry Leaders Unite to Advance Sun Safety Through #WearSunscreen Campaign
This World Health Day, the Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA) and its Health In Hand Foundation, in collaboration with the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC), and with support from the Melanoma Research Foundation and the Skin Cancer Foundation, today announced the continued expansion of the #WearSunscreen campaign in a unified, cross-industry effort to promote daily sun protection as a criticalpublic health priority.
Together, organizations across the consumer healthcare and personal care products sectors are aligning behind a single, urgent message: sunscreen is an everyday essential for protecting skin health and reducing the risk of skin cancer.
This effort, unified under the theme #WearSunscreen, is being amplified through partnerships with skin cancer survivors and other patient advocates, as well as engagement with policymakers, to elevate awareness and encourage preventive behaviors nationwide.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, fewer than 14% of Americans report daily sunscreen use, and the #WearSunscreen campaign aims to increase that percentage. By reaching consumers across industry, healthcare, and community channels, the campaign encourages people to protect their skin every day, regardless of season, weather, or skin tone.
A Public Health Priority
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. Each year, more than five million Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer--more than all other cancers combined. Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is also one of the most preventable. Approximately 20 Americans die from melanoma every day, and it is estimated that 8,510 deaths will be attributed to the disease in 2026.
"While melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, the most common cancer in the U.S., over 90% of melanomas are considered preventable and when detected early, are highly treatable," said James Merrick, Chief Communications and Marketing Officer, the Melanoma Research Foundation. "Embracing sun safe behaviors such as the daily use of sunscreen, agnostic of ethnicity, gender, age and race is critical to decreasing the risk of melanoma incidence. We are pleased to represent the melanoma patient and survivor community and join the collaborative #WearSunscreen campaign to help educate all about the harmful effects of UV rays and amplify the importance of melanoma prevention."
Proven Protection
FDA-regulated sunscreens--whether mineral or non-mineral--are proven to help prevent sunburn, premature skin aging, and skin cancer when used as directed. Consumers can choose from a wide range of formulations designed to meet diverse needs, all supported by rigorous scientific evaluation and oversight.
"A robust body of peer-reviewed research has consistently demonstrated that sunscreen is highly effective in helping protect people of all ages, backgrounds, and skin tones from skin cancer. Building on this research, PCPC remains firmly committed to encouraging the proper, consistent use of sunscreen as a critical component of daily skincare routines," said Tom Myers, President & CEO of the Personal Care Products Council. "It is essential that people have access to safe, effective, and innovative sunscreen products--paired with clear, science-based information--to make informed decisions about their skin health."
A Unified Effort to Drive Everyday Sun Safety
Using the hashtag #WearSunscreen, consumers are encouraged to share their sun safety habits, highlight why sunscreen matters, and encourage others to take simple steps to protect their skin.
"This campaign reflects a shared commitment across a variety of stakeholders to make sun safety a daily habit," said Scott Melville, President & CEO at CHPA. "By working collectively, we can more effectively empower consumers with clear, consistent information and help ensure they have the knowledge and confidence to protect their skin health."
Together, this effort brings aligned voices across the self-care and personal care ecosystem, from product manufacturers to public health educators, to reinforce one clear message: daily sunscreen use saves lives. The campaign is further strengthened by voices of lived experience, including skin cancer survivors and advocates sharing personal stories, alongside outreach to policymakers to help elevate sun safety as a national prevention priority.
The campaign will be amplified across print, broadcast, and social media, with support from healthcare professionals, advocacy organizations, retailers, and influencers to extend its reach and impact.
Spread Sunscreen & Spread the Word
The #WearSunscreen campaign aims to increase public awareness by sharing facts, free resources, and expert advice. Campaign partners are working together to provide tools and information that make it easier for consumers to incorporate sun protection into their daily routines.
By aligning messaging and resources across organizations, the campaign seeks not only to raise awareness, but to drive lasting sun-safe behaviors at scale.

Clean Fuels Welcomes Opportunity to Clarify 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit Rules
WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Clean Fuels Alliance America submitted comments on behalf of biodiesel, renewable diesel and SAF producers on Treasury's proposed rule for the 45Z Clean Fuel Production Credit. Clean Fuels expressed appreciation for Treasury's responsiveness to industry input on the January 2025 Notice of Intent to Propose Rules and urged the agency to provide additional certaintywith timely final rules.
"The Proposed Regulations accurately respond to taxpayer comments on the prior guidance and provide additional certainty for the industry," Clean Fuels writes. "Clean Fuels and its members request additional clarity in some areas."
Kurt Kovarik, Clean Fuels' Vice President of Federal Affairs, added, "Producers greatly appreciate the clarifications and reliance clauses that Treasury provided in this proposed rule. They are grateful that Congress adopted additional changes to the 45Z credit through the One Big Beautiful Bill. But the 45Z tax credit came into effect in January 2025 without sufficient industry guidance. Producers are asking for certainty that Treasury's new proposal applies to sales in 2025. Increased certainty will help achieve Congress' goals of producing more domestic energy and supporting farmers with domestic market opportunities."

Longer Laterals EP7: Arjun Murti Explores the Global Energy Disruption and What It Means for America's Energy Future
The American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC) released Episode 7 of Longer Laterals, where Veriten Partner and "Super-Spiked" creator Arjun Murti joins Anne to unpack the rapidly evolving global energy crisis. Their conversation examines why American consumers benefit from the resilience of U.S. energy systems, the accelerating shift toward energy realism, andthe critical importance of federal policies to support infrastructure development nationwide.
Against the backdrop of significant supply disruptions tied to instability in the Middle East, Murti underscores the magnitude of the moment and the contrast between U.S. energy security and growing strain abroad.
"The Shale Revolution in both oil and natural gas is really what is setting the U.S. apart in this moment, relative to especially that 1970s example where we were very dependent on imported energy in particular from the Middle East," Murti said. While the U.S. is more insulated from the current supply disruption, Murti emphasizes that countries in Asia are "already seeing signs of physical shortages, forced work from home" to conserve energy.
Watch the Segment (https://youtu.be/EIjzUtRJJrQ?t=255)
The episode also explores the growing divergence between U.S. and global natural gas markets, with Murti pointing to structural advantages underpinning why "our natural gas prices are a fraction of the rest of the world" while at the same time "we've gone from almost zero LNG exports to being number one" in global exports.

Hosted by Anne Bradbury, Longer Laterals takes you beyond the headlines to explore the driving forces shaping U.S. oil and natural gas today. Each episode, Anne sits down with the key energy players to unpack the policies, challenges, and opportunities that impact jobs, communities, and America's role as a global energy leader.

"As public safety's partner, we are committed to delivering the most advanced 9-1-1 technology for our communities and the best network for first responders," said Scott Agnew, president of FirstNet, AT&T. "Covering more first responders than any other network and continuing to commit to innovating for NG911, we are proud to keep public safety--and our communities--safer."
AT&T's unwavering commitment to customer experience further strengthens its leadership position. By delivering reliable, mission-ready solutions and maintaining a strong focus on customer care, the company supports a broad and expanding ecosystem of public safety entities, including emergency communications call centers (ECCs), first responders, and extended primary users across healthcare, utilities, and government sectors. Its ability to combine technological innovation with dependable service delivery ensures long-term value and trust among its customers.
Frost & Sullivan commends AT&T for setting a high standard in competitive strategy, execution, and market responsiveness. The company's innovation pipeline, robust network infrastructure, and customer-first culture are shaping the future of public safety connectivity solutions and optimizing emergency outcomes across the United States. "AT&T's strategic approach to public safety fosters a cycle of improvement and success, consistently enhancing products, platforms, and solutions to keep pace with rapidly evolving consumer behaviors and next-generation technologies," according to Brent Iadarola, Vice President, ICT at Frost & Sullivan.
