EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are commonly reported and widely used by investors and lenders as an indicator of a company's operating performance and ability to incur and service debt, and as a valuation metric.

GLOBAL ARTIST OYORAM UNVEILS "TIMEPIECE" -- A DYNAMIC 3D LED INSTALLATION IN DOWNTOWN DES MOINES
GREATER DES MOINES, Iowa, July 30, 2025 /CNW/ -- Time is taking on a new form in Downtown Des Moines (DSM). "TimePiece" is an innovative 3D LED installation that displays real time by world-renowned artist Yorame Mevorach (known professionally as Oyoram). The piece creates the illusion of depth and movement, transforming a flat surface into an immersive experience. At the top of each hour, a digital mechanical arm springs to life in a captivating visual event, removing and replacing a clock face in a mesmerizing display. Blending art and technology, "TimePiece" becomes a vibrant, ever-changing centerpiece. The installation is located on The Fitch Building, facing the Pappajohn Sculpture Park. "With TimePiece, I wanted to take the traditional element of telling time and reimagine it as a moment of visual surprise. Using light, movement and depth, the work becomes part of the city's rhythm," said Oyoram. "It's not just about what you see, but how it makes you feel in the moment." "This is more than a public art piece, it's a reflection of the creative energy that defines our region," said Renae Mauk, Vice President of Downtown Development of the Greater Des Moines Partnership. "Partnering with an artist whose work spans the globe inspires new possibilities for public art in DSM. Oyoram brings international perspective with a deep commitment to Downtown DSM and Greater Des Moines community." The artist and filmmaker behind this visionary project, Oyoram, is based in Des Moines' Historic Sherman Hill neighborhood and maintains a working studio in Paris. With the addition of a gallery for immersive art installations under construction, he hopes to create a bridge between visual artists in the two cities. Known for replacing conventional media screens with sculptural, immersive visuals, his work has been commissioned by global brands including Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Sony, Louis Vuitton and Dior. Since 2007, he has created monumental moving images known as "Moving Fresques" and "Moving Fresco." Recent international projects include installations for Cheval Blanc Spa in Paris and Tiffany & Co.'s Landmark store in New York City. Locally, his work includes Mental Banquet: Painting with Lights (2018), 7even Stories High: Immersive Elevator (2022), and the visual design for the Des Moines Metro Opera's Bluebeard's Castle (2023). "Bringing this piece to fruition has been a journey marked by years of planning and meaningful financial investment, reflecting our unwavering belief in the power of art. TimePiece brings fresh, imaginative energy to our streetscape," Angie Pfannkuch, Operation Downtown Board Chair. "Operation Downtown knows that investing in projects like TimePiece helps to elevate the identity and vision for what is possible when creativity is prioritized in public spaces." "Prairie Meadows is proud to invest in projects that strengthen and beautify our communities," said Julie Stewart, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Prairie Meadows. "Public art is a powerful example of visionary investment that enhances quality of life, connects people to places and leaves a lasting impact. TimePiece is a dynamic addition that reflects the creativity and ambition of Downtown DSM." In alignment with the Downtown DSM: Future Forward Vision Plan and Action Plan, TimePiece exemplifies a commitment to inclusive, innovative art that resonates both locally and globally, strengthening the region. The installation was made possible by Operation Downtown, Prairie Meadows, Bravo Greater Des Moines, MidAmerican Energy Foundation, Downtown DSM, Inc., the Greater Des Moines Partnership and private donors, as well as in-kind contributions from Substance Architecture, Christensen Development and artist Oyoram.

B.C. cities face backlash over public venues booked for controversial U.S. preacher
Sean Feucht is scheduled to appear in West Kelowna's Memorial Park on Aug. 23 and Abbotsford's Mill Lake Park on Aug. 24 as part of his Let Us Worship: Revive in 25 cross-country tour. Pro-MAGA and Christian singer Sean Feucht gets ready for his performance at Ministerios Restauración in Montreal on July 25. Photo by Allen McInnis / Montreal Gazette City officials in West Kelowna and Abbotsford say they are reviewing safety protocols and event permitting ahead of appearances by Sean Feucht, a U.S. Christian musician and preacher whose Canadian 'worship tour' has already faced a wave of cancellations elsewhere in the country.

Last week, authorities, including Parks Canada in Halifax and municipal officials in Charlottetown, Quebec City, Moncton, Gatineau and Vaughan — revoked permits or cancelled events, citing public safety concerns or misalignment with community values. Feucht, a MAGA-supporting Christian Nationalist worship-music singer said on X on July 24, 'If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn't have said a word.' He later claimed on X the cancellations were 'blatant Christian persecution in Canada.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. On July 27, Feucht posted a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on X, saying, 'Testing to see if this still means anything up here anymore?' If Feucht, an audience member or a venue wants to use the cancellations in a Charter challenge over freedom of speech, they would most likely be out of luck, according to Joel Bakan, a constitutional expert with the Allard School of Law at the University of B.C. 'On the basis of my knowledge of the content that he is expressing, it is content that is likely to promote hatred or contempt of LGBTQ people,' said Bakan. Under the B.C. Human Rights Act, any content 'likely' to promote hatred or contempt is a violation of B.C. law. Bakan said there have been numerous Charter challenges and court rulings on the constitutionality of restricting free speech under Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Limitations to speech likely to promote hatred or contempt of individuals or groups provided in provincial human rights legislation have been upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada and are not a violation of the guarantee of freedom of expression set out in section 2B of the Charter. In a 2013 ruling, the Supreme Court of Canada clarified the limits of freedom of speech under the Charter, in Saskatchewan (Human Rights Commission) v. Whatcott, a case involving the distribution of anti-gay pamphlets in schools. The Supreme Court found that the prohibition in Section 14(1)(b) of the Charter, in which expressions that expose any person or class of persons to hatred on the basis of a prohibited ground, including sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, sex, marital or family status, is 'a reasonable and demonstrably justified limit on the right to freedom of expression.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Canada has a distinctively Canadian constitutional framework, compared to the American constitution. 'Ours allows for restrictions on speech that promotes hatred or that are discriminatory or promote toxic values,' said Bakan. 'The reason for this is that when you engage in speech that promotes hatred or is likely to promote hatred, you are silencing the people you are targeting, so it's a net loss,' said Bakan. 'Hate speech has a free-speech destroying effect.' Pro-MAGA and Christian singer Sean Feucht in Montreal. Photo by Allen McInnis / Montreal Gazette The tour has drawn criticism from some B.C. residents who argue Feucht's public positions on abortion, gender identity and 2SLGBTQ+ rights are divisive and harmful. Abbotsford resident Ali Neufeld, who sent a letter to city officials this week, urged the municipality to reconsider allowing the event at Mill Lake Park. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'While I understand the importance of upholding free speech, this principle should not come at the expense of public safety, inclusivity, or the well-being of marginalized groups,' she wrote. Neufeld said her family has spent many joyful days at Mill Lake, but 'would not feel safe or welcome if the event proceeds. We cannot, in good conscience, support a space that provides a platform for hate under the guise of faith or music.' In West Kelowna, resident Wilbur Turner expressed similar concerns in a public social media post. He urged city officials to reconsider permitting Feucht's concert at Memorial Park. 'This kind of event does not reflect the inclusive, welcoming community that is valued in West Kelowna and the Okanagan. Public spaces belong to everyone, and they should not be used as platforms to make community members feel unwelcome or unsafe because of who they are,' Turner wrote. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The City of West Kelowna confirmed to Postmedia that they are ' closely monitoring the circumstances surrounding the tour of Sean Feucht who has been booked at the Memorial Park amphitheatre for Aug. 23.' Communications manager Ashley Stewart said, 'We are listening and understand the concerns raised by members of the public regarding the performer,' and that the city is working with the RCMP to assess public safety related to the event. The City of Abbotsford has received correspondence from members of the public in relation to the proposed concert, said spokesperson Katherine Treloar. The City of Abbotsford said the Burn 24.7 Canada Worship Ministries Society, affiliated with Sean Feucht, has applied to the city for a 'special events permit.' The permit is under review as part of the city's permit process, said Treloar. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Treloar said she could not provide any specifics, but added that community safety considerations are a significant component of every event permit application review for the City of Abbotsford. Feucht has pushed back against the cancellations, rescheduling concerts at the last minute to private property and vowing on social media that he is 'not backing down.' Parks Canada says its decision to cancel a planned concert in the Halifax area for the night of June 22 was based on evolving security risks and expected protests. Feucht later held the event in a farmer's field 70 kilometres away. In a statement Feucht posted to social media Friday, he accused Canadian authorities of targeting him for his faith. 'Here's the hard truth: If I had shown up with purple hair and a dress, claiming to be a woman, the government wouldn't have said a word. But to publicly profess deeply held Christian beliefs is to be labelled an extremist,' wrote Feucht. Feucht held a concert in a township just outside Ottawa on Saturday after the National Capital Commission cancelled a scheduled performance in Gatineau. On Friday, an evangelical Montreal church hosted a Feucht concert without a permit, and was promptly fined by city officials. sgrochowski@ Read More News Vancouver Whitecaps Vancouver Canucks Vancouver Canucks News
