MCALLEN, Texas - The North American Development Bank is to allocate up to $100 million from its retained earnings over the next five years for urgent water conservation projects along the U.S.-Mexico border.NADBank Managing Director John Beckham made the announcement at the two-day Rio Grande/Rio Bravo Binational River Symposium hosted by the Texas Water Foundation at the Embassy Suites by Hilton in McAllen.Beckham said the grant money will be come out of the $400 million Water Resiliency Fund that the NADBank board of directors approved in August. The WRF has been set aside for priority infrastructure projects that conserve and diversify water supply sources throughout the US-Mexico border region.Beckham said an additional $300 million in low-interest loans is also being made available through the bank's regular loan program.The call for projects will focus on the Rio Grande Valley initially, Beckham said, because of the dire need to conserve water in this region.“The decision to do this project is border-wide. There is no area of the US-Mexico border region, which the bank operates in, that is not part of this project. Having said that, the Lower Rio Grande Valley on both sides of the border is extraordinarily urgent because of the conditions here, and so that is why we are starting with a call for proposals here in the Rio Grande Valley,” Beckham said, at a press conference.Proposed projects must show clear results, such as water conservation, increase efficiency or development of new sources, NADBank said, in a press release. Examples of eligible efforts may include replacing old infrastructure, converting canals to pipelines, reusing and storing water and using technology that helps monitor and reduce water loss, the release stated. Project applications will be received until Jan. 8, 2026.Editor's Note: Go to the Rio Grande Guardian website to read the full story.Go to www.riograndeguardian.com to read the latest border news stories and watch the latest news videos.

While the Graceland Center does not yet have a permanent physical location, Peggy has been actively leading its charge for over five years—offering programs, building awareness, and cultivating a strong sense of community for older adults.

Its goal is to create a welcoming space where older adults can truly thrive—staying sharp, healthy, and joyful as they continue to lead fulfilling lives. Currently, Graceland’s weekly in-person programs take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 AM to 1 PM at the Life Together Center. These sessions include enriching activities focused on mental stimulation, wellness, and social engagement—plus a nutritious lunch to enjoy with friends. Looking ahead, the community is invited to a special Gala Celebration on July 12th from 5–9 PM at the Embassy Suites.

Meet Cassidy & Zeek!Cassidy and Zeek started their journey together in Florida. Cassidy's originally from Maryland but moved to Fort Myers in 8th grade. Zeek is a Florida native, born and raised in the Bonita Springs area. Three years ago, these two lovebirds packed up and moved to the Dominican Republic (DR) with the Christian Missionary Alliance, where they've been sharing their faith, connecting with locals, and building up communities ever since.Discovering the Dominican RepublicThe Dominican Republic's history is rich and layered, beginning as the first European colony in the Americas. Santo Domingo, its capital, was founded in 1496 and is recognized as the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement in the New World. This city became a critical base for Spanish exploration, and remnants of its colonial past remain in the cobblestone streets and preserved buildings of its Zona Colonial. Over the centuries, the DR has seen periods of Spanish, French, and Haitian rule, each leaving a distinct mark on its culture. The nation gained its independence in 1844, and since then, its resilient spirit has shaped a unique identity celebrated in its music, art, and traditions. Today, the Dominican Republic thrives as a vibrant blend of European, African, and Taíno influences, with a deep sense of pride in its cultural heritage and historical significance in the Caribbean. And if you love music, this is the birthplace of merengue and bachata—two energetic styles that will get you dancing in no time.What's the DR Really Like?When we asked Cassidy and Zeek how they'd sum up the DR in just three words, they said it's friendly, hot, and adventurous! The island's unique mix of rich history, lively music, and breathtaking natural beauty makes it an unforgettable place to live and explore.Best Time to VisitWhile it's a paradise year-round, Cassidy and Zeek recommend avoiding the rainy season. For the ultimate tropical experience, head over between October and July. HolidaysTwo major holidays in the DR are Mother's Day and Black Friday because the Dominicans love to shop. If you happen to visit on these days, get your shopping in! If you are a Carnival fan, it usually occurs between February and April. The DR's primary religion is Catholicism so there are also many holidays centered around it.Must-Visit CitiesThe DR's capital city, the largest city, Santo Domingo, is a must-visit! Known as the oldest city in the New World, it's filled with colonial architecture and historical sites, including the first cathedral in the Americas, Basilica Cathedral of Santa Maria la Menor. Check out the old fort walls in the colonial zone. For a taste of Santo Domingo, try the chocolate-making tour, where you can explore the history of the Cacao bean and the different percentages of chocolates, and you get to make your own chocolate bar. For a scenic stroll, walk on the Malecon oceanside walkway, where you can see the ocean, shop from local vendors, and enjoy live music. The city of Santiago de los Caballeros is another gem with a thriving cultural scene. It is a smaller city with friendlier people, and similar to Santo Domingo, it has mountains, beaches, and good food. Santo Domingo and Santiago are a 4-hour drive from each other. La Romana is known for its luxury resorts, golf courses, and the nearby Altos de Chavón, a recreated Mediterranean-style village.Outdoor Exploring Like a LocalBeaches: Punta Cana is famous for its resorts and beaches, which make it a top tourist destination. However, there are many less crowded beaches, such as Las Terrenas, Cabarete, and Puerto Plata, on the northern coast, and Juan Dolio on the southern coast. Las Terrenas is on the northeastern coast, and it is Cassidy and Zeek's favorite with its crystal clear water and perfect palm trees. Cabarete is a vibrant boho surfer beach. Playa Rincon and Bahia de Las Aguilas offer some of the most pristine beaches.Hiking: If you're up for an adventure, try canyoning at El Tabernaculo. This is a must-hike, and you can slide down mini waterfalls. This hike is only about 2 hours long. Another incredible hike is Venti siete Saltos at the Damajagua Waterfalls. Here you can hike a trail up to the top of the mountain and you can float down a river, jumping off 27 rock sections into the next water pool. You can also choose whether you want to do a beginner, intermediate, or expert trek. Salto de Jimenoa. Pico Duarte is the highest peak in the Caribbean, standing at 10,164 feet (3,098 meters). You can sign up for a guided camping trip up the mountain, and the views and natural beauty is stunning. What to PackBring your camera! Essentials to Pack: Don't forget the sunscreen, bug spray, and a good pair of hiking shoes if you want to explore beyond the beach!Where to Stay In Santo Domingo, The Embassy Suites is only $130 a night and is much more luxurious than embassy suites in the US. There are many unique historic hotels in the colonial zone. From here you can always have easy access to the happenings of the town such as shopping, events, music and food.Fun Culture Facts!Savoring the FlavorsCassidy and Zeek raved about the food, and we're here for it! Dominican cuisine is a blend of Spanish, African, and Taíno influences, with dishes like mangu (mashed plantains) and la bandera (a hearty plate of meat, rice, and beans). Some favorite Santo Domingo restaurants of Cassidy and Zeek include El Conuco, Osteria del Cappuccino, and La Tapa. Osteria del Cappuccino is an authentic Italian restaurant, and it is so tasty that it is endorsed by the Italian embassy! La Tapa has many options, great steaks, and excellent drinks. Keep in mind water is more expensive than liquor in the DR! El Conuco is a traditional Dominican restaurant located closer to the colonial district. El Conuco is a famous celebrity spot with the citations of Selena Gomez and Brad Pitt, and it hosts live merengue music in the evenings and weekends. Don't even get us started on the coffee—locally grown and deliciously rich, it's a must-try for every coffee lover. Their favorite coffee shop is The Greenhouse. A popular drink in the DR is a mochaccino. Be careful when ordering a Machiatto because, unlike Starbucks, it is an extremely concentrated expresso drink.Travel on Any Budget!The DR has options for every budget. A week's trip could be affordable with plenty of local eats and budget, or if you're feeling bougie, there are tons of all-inclusive resorts and fine dining options, especially around Punta Cana and La Romana.Memorable Moments and What's NextCassidy and Zeek have countless stories to share from their time in the DR, from helping communities to wild "off-the-beaten-path" treks. As they wrap up their time in the DR, they're looking forward to their next destination: Mexico! But if you want to connect with them before they go, follow @_CassidyMarquez on Instagram to chat more about their mission work with the Christian Missionary Alliance.

Over the last five decades, as the American steel industry declined, the town lost thousands of jobs. But in July, a new factory -- Form Energy -- opened on the same site and started to bring hundreds of jobs back. Instead of turning iron into steel, it uses the metal to make a new type of battery. This new battery is designed to store energy for around for days--something the standard lithium-ion batteries can't do economically. The project has helped begin to transform the town of Weirton, which spent more than a century centered on the steel works. Form Energy's factory has more than 300 employees now, and plans to have at least 750 by 2028.  Read more: https://www.fastcompany.com/91215982/in-west-virginia-a-former-steel-mill-is-now-home-to-a-cutting-edge-battery-plant   #3 – From INNOVATORS & ENTREPRENEURS – Don't miss our guests' wisdom, advice, and hard-learned lessons in Season 1 of Innovators and Entrepreneurs!  Innovators and Entrepreneurs is a bi-weekly segment of the daily304 that features discussions and wisdom from West Virginians who have built their companies and launched new ideas here in the Mountain State.

In this episode of What Makes You Wonderful, we talk with Erin Noon from Charleston Area Alliance to discuss the upcoming Elevations luncheon. This event highlights the achievements and stories of women leaders in the military. The luncheon is slated Wednesday, Nov. 13 at Embassy Suites in Charleston and offers an inspiring lineup of speakers and provides attendees with a chance to connect and network. Erin also shares how Charleston Area Alliance supports the local business community and the resources available.  For more information you can go to their website: https://charlestonareaalliance.org/ Text Version Tiffney It's time for the What Makes You Wonderful podcast! Hey there everyone! I'm your host, Tiffney Lopez, and this is where we talk about what makes Almost Heaven amazing. Be sure to check out the hashtag WMYW to find all the cool things that we talk about right here on the podcast. Today, we're going to talk about an event called Elevations. It's November 13th at Embassy Suites in Charleston, and I'd like to introduce all of you to Erin Noon. She's the Communications and Events Coordinator at Charleston Area Alliance. Erin, thank you so much for being here. Erin Tiffney, thank you so much for having me. I'm really, really excited to be here today Tiffney  And I'm excited for what we're getting ready to talk about. It's this Elevations luncheon. This is pretty exciting. Erin Absolutely. Elevations is a series that we do periodically throughout the year, usually quarterly, and it features female speakers and unites Charleston's professionals, both women and men, to learn and be inspired by the journeys, challenges, and accomplishments of strong female leaders and role models. So this upcoming one is, like you said, November 13th, and it's going to be at Embassy Suites, and we're going to actually feature four women who are in the military—two who are currently serving and two who have served and have since gotten out of the military. They are Brigadier General Michaelle Munger. She's the Special Assistant to the Adjutant General of West Virginia, Major Caroline Muriama, and she's the West Virginia National Guard Recruiting and Retention Battalion Commander. And then we have Lee Ann Haley, who was a former Army captain, and Mara Boggs , who is a former Army major and very distinguished. Inspiring women who I think will share some really cool stories and insights from their time in the military. Tiffney  What do events like this provide for people when they come and they hear these speakers? What do you see happening by the end of it? Erin I think it really inspires those who are in the room, and it gives them an opportunity to relate to maybe something that they've been through or take away a message of resilience and perseverance. And it gives women—and men alike—an opportunity to network with one another and see what everybody's going through and what they have going on in their personal lives and professional lives. It's a really good way to connect with someone and take something away from it, whether it's, you know, you're inspired by their story or something that they've done in the past. Just taking away something with you is really the goal. Tiffney  Like you said, this isn't the only event you have. But for those who don't know, Charleston Area Alliance is a way that you guys bring businesses together, right? Explain to me how that works. Erin We're a very unique organization. We bring all of our county's community and economic development communities together, and then we're also a traditional Chamber of Commerce. We're all under one roof. We were built on a legacy of three different organizations that came together back in 2004. We're on our 20th anniversary and we really try to bring the business community together and have them have an alliance with one another. Tiffney  What's your favorite part about whether it's events like this or being part of that larger networking? What's your favorite part about doing all this? Erin I think just being out in the community, you know, meeting different people, seeing what they're going through, and learning about, you know, economic and community development. It's not something that I was familiar with when I took this role. And I think learning about the different challenges that the business community faces, whether it's a large corporation or a small, small little business that started from the ground up. They all do share common, you know, goals and struggles alike. So it's been really fun just to get out there and learn about the business community. Tiffney  And you guys have those resources to help each business. So my next question is whether somebody is interested in this event that's happening November 13th or they're just interested in the Charleston Area Alliance. Where can they go for more information? Erin I would say the easiest way to check us out would be to go to CharlestonAreaAlliance.org. We have all of our information on there, stuff that we've done in the past, stuff that we're currently doing. We have a community calendar of events like Elevations and other things that we have going on, or stuff that our members post on there. So that's probably the easiest way to check us out or just call (304) 340-4253 and ask for any of our staff members. We're a small but mighty team, and we're willing to help out in any capacity that we can. Tiffney I like it, "small but mighty." Just like West Virginia.  Erin You're right!  Tiffney  Erin, thank you so much for being here today. And thank you for telling us what makes you wonderful. Erin Thanks for having me, Tiffney. I had fun. What Makes You Wonderful is a feature of the daily304, your window into wonderful Almost Heaven, West Virginia.

He also specializes in creating commission-only sales teams and advises companies on how to properly prepare for a high-performing sales team so they can attract and retain elite sales producers. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Doug.In this episode, Nancy and Doug discuss the following:Understanding commission-only salesOptimizing sales strategiesDoug's experience in revolutionizing seminars for Tony Robbins and Chet HolmesHow does someone become a 1 % earnerThe definition and importance of sales optimizationWorking techniques to close the sale Why “Maybies” are the great start of salesKey Takeaways: Optimization is taking a look at everything that you're doing and then asking two questions: How do I make it more effective? How do I make it more efficient?There are no bad clients, there are bad sales and buying decisions that turn into bad clients.If you make mistakes, don't beat yourself up for it because multi-billionaires who are selling make mistakes too."I became a 1% earner firstly, through declaring and deciding that that's what's going to be. It's a mental game in that regard. A lot of people talk about wanting to become a 1% earner, they want to double their sales, but it's just an idea. It's not a committed idea. Firstly, it requires that commitment and, quite frankly, one's now asking to be in the top 1% of earners in the world. You know, that's a commitment, and it takes time, energy, a lot of studying, and a lot of practice—and frankly, money, right? Because we've got to, we must be investing in things and getting around people who are in the 1% and learning what they're doing and how they're doing it. You know, fortunately for us, we train on that. So, you know, somebody comes here, obviously, they'll learn that. But it's still about getting around, you know, and I still do the same thing today, Nancy. I mean, I search out people that I feel a little uncomfortable being around because of their place in life, right?” – DOUG"So, the conversation of selling is really about having a conversion conversation, and I'll explain what that is versus having a sales conversation, right? Conversion conversations are really doing three things. First, they're boosting rapport continuously. So, you know, we're working on trust, like, and respect. A little luck sometimes doesn't hurt, but it's really about promoting those three. Second, it's constantly moving the conversation in the direction of the business return on investment or personal return on investment that the potential buyer is always looking for. I can expand upon that. And third, we're always creating what we call "yes states." When we move from step to step in the buyer's mind, they're thinking, "Yes, this makes sense," "Yes, wow," or "I didn't know that that's good." You want to constantly create a state of yes throughout the process. Now, on business and personal returns, people buy for different reasons, but they all fall into two categories: What is my business return on investment? What is my personal return on investment? When we really understand that ideal client profile and the ideal buyer persona—their motivations, what they want, need, feel, fear, and value—we can construct our conversation to be more like what we're doing right now: just having a conversation. It's not about taking them step by step, like, "Well, hey, we built rapport here. Next step, let's do a discovery session. Next step, let's..." and so on. That's a sales conversation. If you do conversational conversion the right way, in most cases, you never even do a presentation. They never ask for it." – DOUG"So, the other thing I wanted to say about that, Nancy, is if they're getting a "maybe," I would suggest that through their conversational conversion, they haven't been qualifying or disqualifying. When we're thinking about creating these yes states, if we're creating these yes states, but they're turning out to be "nos," it's like your radar goes up as the selling entity. It might be time for you to disengage or at least qualify why. A lot of times, the "maybes" will come at the end because they're thinking the same thing you are: "I'm really not sure if this will work, but we're trying to get it to a sale." And that's where the apprehension comes up, right? As the seller, we would be much better off going—and we do teach this—if you are not the right fit for this, you gracefully disengage and find out who the right fit is. It goes a long way versus just trying to push the sale. Because there are no bad clients, but there are bad sales and buying decisions that turn into bad clients." – DOUGConnect with Doug C.
