Now… onto the news: https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-new-york-city-ordered-by-court-to-reinstate-all-those-fired-over-covid-vaccine-mandates?utm_campaign=64487 New York City ordered by court to reinstate all those fired over Covid vaccine mandates On Tuesday, the New York Supreme Court ruled that New York City must reinstate all employees that were fired because of their vaccination status. The order also states that for those fired, backpay must be issued. The lawsuit was filed against the City of New York, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York Department of Sanitation, Commissioner of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene David Chokshi, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. "Though vaccination should be encouraged, public employees should not have been terminated for their noncompliance," the court stated. "Based upon the Petitioners’ vague denials of their exemptions, the fact they were kept at full duty for several months while their exemptions were pending, the Mayor’s Executive Order granting exemptions to certain classes of people, and the lifting of the private sector mandate, this Court finds the Commissioners Orders of October 20, 2021, and December 13, 2021, as well as the Mayor’s Executive Order No. 62 to be arbitrary and capricious," the court ruled. The petitioners of the suit are former Department of Sanitation employees that were terminated from their positions in February 2022. The petitioners argued that Adam’s Executive Order No. 62, which provided exemptions for athletes, performers, and other artists, "rendered the public employee vaccination mandate arbitrary and capricious or unconstitutional." The court noted that all but one of the petitioners applied for exemptions, and questioned why the city could not keep its vaccine or test policy. The court did not argue against issuing temporary vaccination mandates in a public health emergency, but added, "however, ordering and enforcing that vaccination policy on only a portion of the populace for an indefinite period of time, is akin to legislating." The court also stated, "being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19. As of the day of this Decision, CDC guidelines regarding quarantine and isolation are the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals." "The Petitioners should not have been terminated for choosing not to protect themselves. "We have learned through the course of the pandemic that the vaccine against Covid-19 is not absolute. breakthrough cases occur, even for those who have been vaccinated and boosted. President Joseph Biden has said that the pandemic is over. The State of New York ended the Covid-19 state of emergency over a month ago," the court said. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-hillary-clinton-already-accusing-right-wing-extremists-of-stealing-2024-election?utm_campaign=64487 Hillary Clinton already accusing ‘right-wing extremists’ of stealing 2024 election https://twitter.com/i/status/1583496354734538756 - Play Video Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a video posted to social media accused "right-wing extremists" of having "a plan to literally steal the next presidential election." The video was posted by an organization called Indivisible which claims on its website to be "a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda." The failed presidential candidate has repeatedly questioned the results of the 2016 election. In 2021, Clinton said that Russian President Vladimir Putin helped to rig the 2016 election against her in an interview on MSNBC. "Putin is the great disrupter. He has a clear mission to undermine democracies, first and foremost, the United States." Almost immediately after the statement, Clinton also claimed that anyone who disputed the results of the 2020 election was working for the Kremlin, either directly or indirectly. According to the organization's website, "Indivisible was founded in response to Trump’s election - but we know that Trump is a symptom of a sick democracy, not its cause. We face two fundamental problems: first, our democracy was rigged from the start in favor of the white and wealthy." The groups added, "in the last few decades, an alliance of white nationalists and the ultra-rich have been actively working to further undermine democracy and cement their hold on power permanently. That’s how we ended up with Trump. We have to build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial “we the people,” one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us. Only then will we be able to achieve a progressive vision for our future." The group has its own 501c3, 501c4, and PAC. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/elon-musk-twitter-deal-closing/2022/10/25/id/1093350/ Musk May Close Twitter Deal by Friday Elon Musk has pledged to close his $44 billion Twitter Inc. deal by Friday in a video conference call with bankers who are helping fund the deal, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The banks have finished putting together the final credit agreement and are in the process of signing the documentation, according to the report, in one of the last steps in moving funds to Musk. Twitter and Musk's lawyers were not immediately available for comment. Musk has pledged to provide $46.5 billion in equity and debt financing for the acquisition, which covers the $44 billion price tag and closing costs. Banks, including Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp., have committed to provide $13 billion of debt financing to support the deal. Equity investors, including Oracle Corp. co-founder Larry Ellison and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, will pitch in with $7.1 billion. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-hillary-clinton-already-accusing-right-wing-extremists-of-stealing-2024-election?utm_campaign=64487 Not Even Green Energy Execs Are Buying Biden’s Offshore Wind Plan Wind energy executives are skeptical of the Biden administration’s plan to significantly expand offshore wind power in the next several years due to rising costs and the slow permitting of offshore leases, according to the Financial Times. The Biden administration aims to grow U.S. offshore wind generation from less than 1 gigawatt currently to 30 gigawatts by the end of 2030 as part of its aggressive green energy transition, according to a White House fact sheet. However, wind executives are concerned that the administration’s target is too ambitious as projects are constantly delayed by a permitting bottleneck and expensive leases, the FT reported. Various energy projects including offshore wind developments face difficulties in receiving correct permitting from the government, which delays construction and increases costs, according to the FT. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia proposed a permitting bill in September that could have accelerated the federal permitting of key wind, solar and fossil fuel projects; however, the measure was pulled from a recent government funding bill after it failed to gain sufficient support in the Senate. Manchin’s bill would have also given the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) more power to expedite the permitting of transmission lines that transport electricity produced by offshore wind and other renewables to urban areas. Roughly 77 gigawatts of offshore wind are awaiting transmission, according to the Department of Energy’s August wind energy report. Executives also claim prices of federal leases for offshore wind developments are too high, which makes it difficult for wind developers to make profits, the FT reported. The federal New York Bight offshore wind auction, which offered six lease areas totaling over 488,000 acres, received $4.37 billion total in winning bids, representing the nation’s highest-grossing competitive offshore energy lease sale in history, according to an Interior Department press release. Inflation is a further concern for wind firms and their equipment manufacturers as the cost of materials continues to rise, according to the FT. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2022/10/24/new-border-patrol-numbers-show-an-alarming-number-of-terrorists-entering-the-us-n2614917 New Border Patrol Numbers Show an Alarming Number of Terrorists Entering the U.S. New numbers released in a calculated, late Friday night news dump over the weekend show an alarming and increasing number of suspected terrorists are entering the United States through the southern border with Mexico. According to the data, Border Patrol agents have encountered 98 suspected terrorists in fiscal year 2022. In 2021, that number was 15. In 2020, it was three and in 2019, zero. "The Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) – also known as the “watchlist” – is the U.S. government’s database that contains sensitive information on terrorist identities. The TSDS originated as the consolidated terrorist watchlist to house information on known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) but has evolved over the last decade to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals," U.S. Customs and Border Protection explains. The current number only includes suspected terrorists who were caught, not the number embedded in the estimated one million illegal aliens who evaded law enforcement while entering the country and disappearing into American communities. Republican Congressman Andy Biggs, who represents Arizona's 5th Congressional District, is sounding the alarm about the increase.

Griner appeared via video at the Moscow Regional Court from a penal colony outside the city, where she is imprisoned and will remain. Griner was convicted on August 4 after police found vape canisters containing cannabis oil at the Moscow airport where she landed. Griner's appeal was rejected after a ruling on Tuesday to uphold the sentence. The ruling did state that Griner will have time served in prison with her pre-trial detention now being included in her sentence, with each day of pre-trial detention being counted as 1.5 days in prison. Griner will thus have to serve around eight years in a Russian prison, reports AP. Griner's arrest came as tensions were high between Russia and the United States and just days before Moscow made the call to send troops to Ukraine. Griner played basketball in a Russian women's league during the WNBA's off-season. Griner said that she packed the canisters accidentally and that she was prescribed cannabis for pain. She pleaded guilty to the charge. Griner's sentence of 9 years was close to the maximum of 10, with her legal team saying that the punishment was excessive. Even NBA star Steph Curry got in on the action in Brittany’s defense: https://twitter.com/i/status/1582558686869737474 - Play Video The White House told reporters following her conviction that they were aggressively pursuing every avenue to bring home Griner to the United States. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that negotiations between the Biden administration and Russia to bring Griner home remain ongoing. In July, there were reports that the Biden administration offered to exchange a convicted Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout for the release of Griner and Pail Whelan.

Inflation is a further concern for wind firms and their equipment manufacturers as the cost of materials continues to rise, according to the FT. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2022/10/24/new-border-patrol-numbers-show-an-alarming-number-of-terrorists-entering-the-us-n2614917 New Border Patrol Numbers Show an Alarming Number of Terrorists Entering the U.S. New numbers released in a calculated, late Friday night news dump over the weekend show an alarming and increasing number of suspected terrorists are entering the United States through the southern border with Mexico. According to the data, Border Patrol agents have encountered 98 suspected terrorists in fiscal year 2022. In 2021, that number was 15. In 2020, it was three and in 2019, zero. "The Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS) – also known as the “watchlist” – is the U.S. government’s database that contains sensitive information on terrorist identities. The TSDS originated as the consolidated terrorist watchlist to house information on known or suspected terrorists (KSTs) but has evolved over the last decade to include additional individuals who represent a potential threat to the United States, including known affiliates of watchlisted individuals," U.S. Customs and Border Protection explains. The current number only includes suspected terrorists who were caught, not the number embedded in the estimated one million illegal aliens who evaded law enforcement while entering the country and disappearing into American communities. Republican Congressman Andy Biggs, who represents Arizona's 5th Congressional District, is sounding the alarm about the increase.

Griner appeared via video at the Moscow Regional Court from a penal colony outside the city, where she is imprisoned and will remain. Griner was convicted on August 4 after police found vape canisters containing cannabis oil at the Moscow airport where she landed. Griner's appeal was rejected after a ruling on Tuesday to uphold the sentence. The ruling did state that Griner will have time served in prison with her pre-trial detention now being included in her sentence, with each day of pre-trial detention being counted as 1.5 days in prison. Griner will thus have to serve around eight years in a Russian prison, reports AP. Griner's arrest came as tensions were high between Russia and the United States and just days before Moscow made the call to send troops to Ukraine. Griner played basketball in a Russian women's league during the WNBA's off-season. Griner said that she packed the canisters accidentally and that she was prescribed cannabis for pain. She pleaded guilty to the charge. Griner's sentence of 9 years was close to the maximum of 10, with her legal team saying that the punishment was excessive. Even NBA star Steph Curry got in on the action in Brittany’s defense: https://twitter.com/i/status/1582558686869737474 - Play Video The White House told reporters following her conviction that they were aggressively pursuing every avenue to bring home Griner to the United States. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that negotiations between the Biden administration and Russia to bring Griner home remain ongoing. In July, there were reports that the Biden administration offered to exchange a convicted Russian arms trafficker Viktor Bout for the release of Griner and Pail Whelan.

The order also states that for those fired, backpay must be issued. The lawsuit was filed against the City of New York, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, the New York Department of Sanitation, Commissioner of the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene David Chokshi, and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. "Though vaccination should be encouraged, public employees should not have been terminated for their noncompliance," the court stated. "Based upon the Petitioners’ vague denials of their exemptions, the fact they were kept at full duty for several months while their exemptions were pending, the Mayor’s Executive Order granting exemptions to certain classes of people, and the lifting of the private sector mandate, this Court finds the Commissioners Orders of October 20, 2021, and December 13, 2021, as well as the Mayor’s Executive Order No. 62 to be arbitrary and capricious," the court ruled. The petitioners of the suit are former Department of Sanitation employees that were terminated from their positions in February 2022. The petitioners argued that Adam’s Executive Order No. 62, which provided exemptions for athletes, performers, and other artists, "rendered the public employee vaccination mandate arbitrary and capricious or unconstitutional." The court noted that all but one of the petitioners applied for exemptions, and questioned why the city could not keep its vaccine or test policy. The court did not argue against issuing temporary vaccination mandates in a public health emergency, but added, "however, ordering and enforcing that vaccination policy on only a portion of the populace for an indefinite period of time, is akin to legislating." The court also stated, "being vaccinated does not prevent an individual from contracting or transmitting Covid-19. As of the day of this Decision, CDC guidelines regarding quarantine and isolation are the same for vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals." "The Petitioners should not have been terminated for choosing not to protect themselves. "We have learned through the course of the pandemic that the vaccine against Covid-19 is not absolute. breakthrough cases occur, even for those who have been vaccinated and boosted. President Joseph Biden has said that the pandemic is over. The State of New York ended the Covid-19 state of emergency over a month ago," the court said. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-hillary-clinton-already-accusing-right-wing-extremists-of-stealing-2024-election?utm_campaign=64487 Hillary Clinton already accusing ‘right-wing extremists’ of stealing 2024 election https://twitter.com/i/status/1583496354734538756 - Play Video Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in a video posted to social media accused "right-wing extremists" of having "a plan to literally steal the next presidential election." The video was posted by an organization called Indivisible which claims on its website to be "a grassroots movement of thousands of local Indivisible groups with a mission to elect progressive leaders, rebuild our democracy, and defeat the Trump agenda." The failed presidential candidate has repeatedly questioned the results of the 2016 election. In 2021, Clinton said that Russian President Vladimir Putin helped to rig the 2016 election against her in an interview on MSNBC. "Putin is the great disrupter. He has a clear mission to undermine democracies, first and foremost, the United States." Almost immediately after the statement, Clinton also claimed that anyone who disputed the results of the 2020 election was working for the Kremlin, either directly or indirectly. According to the organization's website, "Indivisible was founded in response to Trump’s election - but we know that Trump is a symptom of a sick democracy, not its cause. We face two fundamental problems: first, our democracy was rigged from the start in favor of the white and wealthy." The groups added, "in the last few decades, an alliance of white nationalists and the ultra-rich have been actively working to further undermine democracy and cement their hold on power permanently. That’s how we ended up with Trump. We have to build a democracy that reflects a broad, multiracial “we the people,” one that works for all of us and is sustained by all of us. Only then will we be able to achieve a progressive vision for our future." The group has its own 501c3, 501c4, and PAC. https://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/elon-musk-twitter-deal-closing/2022/10/25/id/1093350/ Musk May Close Twitter Deal by Friday Elon Musk has pledged to close his $44 billion Twitter Inc. deal by Friday in a video conference call with bankers who are helping fund the deal, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The banks have finished putting together the final credit agreement and are in the process of signing the documentation, according to the report, in one of the last steps in moving funds to Musk. Twitter and Musk's lawyers were not immediately available for comment. Musk has pledged to provide $46.5 billion in equity and debt financing for the acquisition, which covers the $44 billion price tag and closing costs. Banks, including Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Corp., have committed to provide $13 billion of debt financing to support the deal. Equity investors, including Oracle Corp. co-founder Larry Ellison and Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, will pitch in with $7.1 billion. https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-hillary-clinton-already-accusing-right-wing-extremists-of-stealing-2024-election?utm_campaign=64487 Not Even Green Energy Execs Are Buying Biden’s Offshore Wind Plan Wind energy executives are skeptical of the Biden administration’s plan to significantly expand offshore wind power in the next several years due to rising costs and the slow permitting of offshore leases, according to the Financial Times. The Biden administration aims to grow U.S. offshore wind generation from less than 1 gigawatt currently to 30 gigawatts by the end of 2030 as part of its aggressive green energy transition, according to a White House fact sheet. However, wind executives are concerned that the administration’s target is too ambitious as projects are constantly delayed by a permitting bottleneck and expensive leases, the FT reported. Various energy projects including offshore wind developments face difficulties in receiving correct permitting from the government, which delays construction and increases costs, according to the FT. Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia proposed a permitting bill in September that could have accelerated the federal permitting of key wind, solar and fossil fuel projects; however, the measure was pulled from a recent government funding bill after it failed to gain sufficient support in the Senate. Manchin’s bill would have also given the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) more power to expedite the permitting of transmission lines that transport electricity produced by offshore wind and other renewables to urban areas. Roughly 77 gigawatts of offshore wind are awaiting transmission, according to the Department of Energy’s August wind energy report. Executives also claim prices of federal leases for offshore wind developments are too high, which makes it difficult for wind developers to make profits, the FT reported. The federal New York Bight offshore wind auction, which offered six lease areas totaling over 488,000 acres, received $4.37 billion total in winning bids, representing the nation’s highest-grossing competitive offshore energy lease sale in history, according to an Interior Department press release.

India's digital payments industry will triple to touch $10 trillion in total transaction value by 2026, according to a report by PhonePe, Walmart's Indian fintech unit, and BCG. Coinbase is extending its hiring freeze indefinitely. NASA is outsourcing its Lunar spacesuit development to two companies including Axiom Space, which is backed by investors including India's Sanjay Mehta. Notes: India's digital payments industry will triple to touch $10 trillion in total transaction value by 2026, according to a report by Walmart's Indian fintech unit PhonePe and BCG, a consultancy. Non-cash payments will constitute nearly 65 percent of all payments by 2026, up from 40 percent today, the companies said in a press release. UPI adoption will surge from 35 percent in FY 21 to 75 percent in the next five years. And merchant payments via digital modes will grow from $0.3-0.4 trillion today to $2.5-2.7 trillion by 2026, according to the release. Coinbase, one of the largest crypto exchanges, plans to extend a hiring freeze that it announced two weeks ago into the “foreseeable future.” The company will also be pulling some job offers, CNBC reports. Coinbase said it was informing prospects of the rescinded offers by email on Thursday. The company also said it was extending its severance policy to those individuals and will help them with job placements and resume reviews. “After assessing our business priorities, current headcount, and open roles, we have decided to pause hiring for as long as this macro environment requires,” LJ Brock, Coinbase's chief people officer, wrote in a blog post on Thursday. “The extended hiring pause will include backfills, except for roles that are necessary … for security and compliance, or to support other mission-critical work,” Brock wrote. Oracle Corp has secured unconditional EU antitrust clearance for its $28.3 billion acquisition of US healthcare IT company Cerner Corp, the EU competition authority said on Thursday, Reuters reports.

776: Assessing Risks Beyond the Numbers | Nipun Soni, CFO, BillionToONe

CFO Thought Leader

When Nipun Soni tells us that he spent 5 years at Oracle Corp., during which time he helped to perform due diligence on some 40-plus M&A transactions, we can't resist asking about the “big” deals that grabbed business headlines—such as Oracle's 2009 acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Inc. Although Soni no doubt understands our curiosity, he can't help but tamp down our expectations a bit after we ask: “Do you recall ‘the visit' to Sun's campus?” His reply? “With high-profile public company mergers, you actually don't visit. You try to keep it under the covers. You don't want people to know about it before it happens.” Still, our curiosity lingers around “the visit” because this is when the ice is broken and where finance is frequently represented more than any other functional group within the acquiring company. Soni is happy to expand: “Well, as soon as the transaction was announced, we were actually at the Sun campuses. We met with Sun's broader team, their leadership, and we tried to break the ice between the two broader finance teams just by saying: ‘Hey, welcome to our broad Oracle umbrella. We really look forward to working together and learning about this different business model.'” However, BillionToOne's CFO makes it clear that some of the biggest lessons from his 40-plus M&A transactions at Oracle and numerous subsequent other ones that today populate his collective career portfolio often came from deals involving smaller private companies. “You don't want to suddenly find yourself in a position where you inherit a few questionable sales transactions from an acquired company that begin tainting the overall revenue recognition of a company like Oracle,” explains Soni, who adds that the lack of infrastructure within smaller firms often makes such transactions riskier—and all the more interesting. "What is it that we should be looking for?,” “How do we evaluate the synergies between the two companies?,” and “What are some of the beyond-the-numbers risks that must be thought through?” asks Soni, as he seeks to better expose the experience he believes helped to propel him upward in his career and ultimately into the CFO office at BillionToOne. - Jack Sweeney

Tips for leading from a whole and balanced place and having a positive ripple effect on others. Why you might want to tell your team members and others at work you love them. Quotes from the show: “In order to bring the greatest potential in ourselves, in our workplaces, and our world, sometimes we have to shine the light on the dark, on the things that are not always so pleasant, on the systems, and structures, or behaviors frankly, that need to shift that need to change. That requires that we do it with a certain skill, with a certain cultivation, and ways of being that allows us to do that from a place of love and truth.” –Carley Hauck Emerging Women Podcast “You don't have to be given that title [of leader]. We can all be leaders, and I actually feel like that's call right now. What is that thing that you want to be the change for? What is that thing that you're feeling a fire in your belly about? Or passion about? Or you recognize, this isn't right?” –Carley Hauck Emerging Women Podcast “Conscious and inclusive leaders have this stronger sense of purpose. They understand that leadership is about serving. And they're also really wanting to support more soulfulness in organizations. They're not all about more is better, faster because we know that leads to burnout. Is there a more feminine way that's balanced with the masculine?” –Carley Hauck Emerging Women Podcast “Some of the complexities of our world-- a lot of them-- we need everybody. We need everyone, especially when we look at some of these large problems that impact everyone. That requires a much more diverse group of people with different thoughts, different experiences, different perspectives, different educations and knowledge.” –Carley Hauck Emerging Women Podcast “If I'm a burned out leader, and I'm not balanced and whole on the inside, I'm not using certain resources, skills to really lead from a more balanced, healthy place, that's going to have a ripple effect with my team members, with the culture at work.

The state power utility has been in a disagreement with Oracle, which initially claimed Eskom underpaid it by about R7.3 billion, before reducing the amount to R380 million. Eskom is only prepared to pay R166 million. Eskom earlier this month lost a court bid to compel Oracle to continue providing services until April 2022.

HR Happy Hour 467 - Supporting Employee Mental Health in 2021 Hosts: Steve Boese, Trish McFarlane Guest: Emily He, SVP, Human Capital Management Marketing, Oracle Corp. This week on the HR Happy Hour Show, Steve and Trish were joined by Emily He from Oracle, to talk about some of the important findings from Oracle's 3rd Annual AI @ Work study, which this year focused on employee mental health. On the show, Emily shared some of the key high level findings from the global survey of over 12,000 employees - 78% said 2020 was their most stressful year ever, 85% said their mental health issues are causing issues like sleep deprivation, poor physical health, reduced happiness at home, and more. We also explored some of the ways organizations have adapted existing or adopted new benefits and support programs to focus on supporting employee mental health. Additionally, Emily shared how the research revealed how employees up and down the organization are increasingly comfortable and even prefer leveraging technology solutions in support of their mental health and in managing work-related stress and challenges. Other interesting findings from the research showed how C-suite leaders are struggling with mental health issues at an even higher level than their employees, and the younger workers, Gen Z and Milennials are also facing some signficant mental health challenges. Finally we discussed some ideas and thoughts on how HR and business leaders can be more proactive and take positive steps to help themselves and their employees address these issues. Learn more about the AI @ Work Research here. This was a great conversation - thanks so much to Emily for joining us!

So far this month, two Bay Area tech heavyweights, Oracle Corp. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, said they would move their headquarters to Texas. The news set off fears that the Bay Area and California are losing their allure to big employers and could spell future economic distress. While companies have routinely moved out of the Bay Area, some experts say this time is different -- in a troubling way. Other experts say that while the moves are noteworthy, they won’t derail the Bay Area’s economy or tech industry in the long term. We discuss the state of the Bay Area exodus and the region’s economy.

Por su parte, el ministro del Interior, Euclides Acevedo, manifestó a los medios de comunicación que la cooperación internacional será siempre bajo la conducción de la Fuerza de Tarea Conjunta. El ex vicepresidente de la República Óscar Denis Sánchez y su empleado Adelio Mendoza desaparecieron en la tarde del miércoles. La camioneta en la que se trasladaban las víctimas fue encontrada abandonada con las puertas abiertas y en ella había panfletos en los cuales una célula del autodenominado Ejército del Pueblo Paraguayo (EPP) se atribuye el rapto de ambas personas. Aún no hubo comunicación de los autores del hecho con los familiares de las víctimas. Entretanto, el pueblo indígena Paĩ Tavyterã exige la liberación del miembro de su comunidad, Adelio Mendoza.

El experto explicó que el medicamento se administra en dos inyecciones con una diferencia de 21 días. De esa forma se obtiene una respuesta inmunitaria superior a aquella que desarrollan quienes se han recuperado de la enfermedad. LA TERCERA LOGÍSTICA AÉREA. El envío de la vacuna contra el coronavirus alrededor del mundo será "el mayor desafío de transporte" jamás enfrentado, según la industria aérea. Se necesitará el equivalente a 8.000 aviones Boeing 747 - los jumbo jets- de acuerdo a lo estimado por la Agencia Internacional de Transporte Aéreo (IATA, por sus siglas en inglés). Todavía no hay una vacuna para el COVID-19, pero la IATA ya está trabajando con las aerolíneas, aeropuertos, organizaciones internacionales de la salud y empresas farmacéuticas en un plan para crear un puente aéreo global. CNN OTRA DE FACEBOOK. Facebook estrenó este jueves Campus, una nueva sección en su plataforma que está pensada para estudiantes universitarios. Con esto se hace un regreso a los orígenes de la red. La nueva sección busca ayudar a los estudiantes a poder mantener la relación con sus compañeros de generación, sobre todo ahora que la pandemia acabó con la vida académica.

Congress, White House Fail to Provide New Pandemic Relief While US Suffers Economic Fallout

As the US deals with the federal government's failure to renew pandemic relief, the social unrest appears to be taking a turn for the worse. Is this in any way related to the economic troubles? If so, are these one-time occurrences, and what can be done to calm the violence?The Washington Post recently ran a column by notorious pro-war neoconservative Max Boot praising the so-called "A Team" of foreign policy advisers surrounding Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. Is this Biden team a rerun of the group of foreign policy advisers to former US President George W. Bush that the Post once described as a “dream team?” In what is clearly a very strange move, "[t]he US government has blacklisted several Russian scientific institutes, including the Russian Defense Ministry's 48th Central Research Institute, which has worked with other non-military medical centers to develop and test the world's first COVID-19 vaccine," Ben Norton wrote for the Strategic Culture Foundation on Saturday Meanwhile, Ted Galen Carpenter wrote in The American Conservative on Friday, "A dangerous vehicle collision between US and Russian soldiers in Northeastern Syria on Aug. 24 highlights the fragility of the relationship and the broader test of wills between the two major powers." What are we to make of this?"One of President Trump's top medical advisers is urging the White House to embrace a controversial 'herd immunity' strategy to combat the pandemic, which would entail allowing the coronavirus to spread through most of the population to quickly build resistance to the virus, while taking steps to protect those in nursing homes and other vulnerable populations, according to five people familiar with the discussions," the Washington Post reported Monday. Meanwhile, the New York Times reported Sunday: "It took more than three months for the United States to reach one million coronavirus cases after reporting its first confirmed infection, but less than a third of that time to notch the latest million-case leap. On Sunday, the United States hit yet another milestone, with six million reported cases, according to a New York Times database." Will "herd immunity" work?Our next guest, Andrei Nekrasov, is a film director, writer and producer who believed the story of Bill Browder and the Magnitsky Act and set out to create a documentary film about it. His project was welcomed by Browder and his associates, so much so that Browder agreed to work with Nekrasov in the making of the film. Strangely, half way through the project Nekrasov began to realize that Browder's story was inconsistent with the facts. He approached Browder, only to be admonished and attacked as a Russian propagandist. Nekrasov finished the documentary, and you can now find it at MagnitskyAct.com.Neoconservatives Jacob Nagel and Mark Dubowitz of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies argued in a Monday op-ed in Newsweek, "The Trump administration must continue its maximum pressure campaign, while building safeguards to prevent a return to the fatally flawed nuclear agreements of the past." Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported on August 14, "US threats of legal action and sanctions forced Greek shipowners to surrender Iranian fuel to the US government in recent days, people familiar with the confiscation said." Additionally, RT reported Friday, "Tehran has poked fun at Mike Pompeo after the top US diplomat set a deadline to ‘snap back' sanctions on Iran under JCPOA, which he branded a 'foolish' deal, and despite the UN Security Council refusal to back the US initiative.""The COVID-19 pandemic exploded in New York City over four months ago and, so far, it has claimed 18,979 lives and infected 225,713 people," City Limits reported on August 25. "Still, on top of the fear of catching the disease, ending up in the hospital or even dying, what terrifies people ... is hunger. An estimated 2 million New Yorkers are struggling to afford their groceries." Meanwhile, The Hill reported Sunday, "The odds are rising that any deal on a fifth coronavirus relief package will be tied to legislation to prevent an October 2 government shutdown." What does this mean for the US going forward? "Zhang Yiming's plan to sell the US operations of his short-video app TikTok to avoid a shutdown was thrown into jeopardy after China asserted authority over a deal already under scrutiny by the Trump administration," Bloomberg reported Monday. "Beijing on Friday added uncertainty to already thorny negotiations over the sale of ByteDance Ltd.'s prized asset, claiming the ability to block a sale to foreign suitors Microsoft Corp. or Oracle Corp. with tighter restrictions on artificial intelligence exports." Meanwhile, Mark J. Valencia wrote in a Monday op-ed for the South China Morning Post, "With more tit-for-tat rhetoric and military posturing, China and the United States seem to be heading towards a showdown in the South China Sea." Can war be avoided?Guests:Gary Flowers - Public policy analystDanny Sjursen - Retired US Army major and author of "Patriotic Dissent: America in the Age of Endless War"Mark Sleboda - Moscow-based international relations and security analystMargaret Flowers - Pediatrician, health reform activist and co-director at Popular ResistanceAndrei Nekrasov - Film director, writer and producerAlexander Mercouris - Editor-in-chief of The Duran Daniel Lazare - Investigative journalist and author of "The Velvet Coup"Ted Rall - Political cartoonist and syndicated columnist

ByteDance investors are in talks to use their stakes in the Chinese technology firm to help finance their bid for its popular short-video app TikTok, according to people familiar with the matter. ByteDance has been in talks to divest TikTok’s North America, Australia and New Zealand operations to potential acquirers, including Microsoft Corp and Oracle Corp. President Donald Trump has ordered the Chinese company to sever ties with the social media app in the United States, citing concerns over the safety of the personal data it handles. --- This episode is sponsored by · Afrolit Podcast: Hosted by Ekua PM, Afrolit shares the stories of multi-faceted Africans one episode at a time. https://open.spotify.com/show/2nJxiiYRyfMQlDEXXpzlZS?si=mmgODX3NQ-yfQvR0JRH-WA Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support

615: Validating Your Proof Points for Investors | Jeff Epstein, (CFO Emeritus) Oracle, DoubleClick, King World

CFO Thought Leader

In the mid-1990s, when Jeff Epstein was busy satisfying the M&A appetites of media clients for First Boston, one of his smaller, but more boisterous clients asked him to join the firm as its CFO. “It was the type of situation where if they had gone to a recruiter, I would never have made the resume cut because I had never been a CFO and I had never even worked for a CFO,” explains Epstein, who was 32 when he entered the lively entrepreneurial realm known as King World Productions. A one-time family-owned company, King World had seen its stature grow inside New York’s competitive media landscape as the firm began producing giant hit TV shows such as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and The Oprah Winfrey Show. “It was actually a small company with only about 300 employees, but they had three of the highest-rated, most profitable shows on television, with about $300 million of revenue and $60 million of operating income,” recalls Epstein, who would go on to add consecutive CFO career chapters at DoubleClick, Nielsen (Media Measurement), and Oracle Corp., a mix that fortified his footing in both the tech and media worlds—but also revealed little preference when it came to company size. “King World had been a family business that had only recently become a New York Stock Exchange company when I joined them, so I had to put in place some basic procedures, but Oracle had been around for many years and already had very sophisticated processes,” notes Epstein, who today exudes as much enthusiasm for Oracle’s approach to simplifying and standardizing its internal processes as he does for the entrepreneurial instincts of King World chairman Roger King. “Three minutes from when an idea came out of my mouth, Roger King would have picked up the phone and be pitching our largest customer, ” says Epstein, whose CFO tenure there lasted 6 years—a span of time during which King World would triple its value and ultimately end up being sold to CBS Corp. It was following the sale of King World, that Epstein would open the career chapter that permitted his CFO career to grow beyond a single industry. “DoubleClick was an early Internet advertising technology company and wanted a CFO from either media or technology, so I had the media experience part,” comments Epstein. Today, as operating partner for Bessemer Venture Partners of Menlo Park, Calif., Epstein marvels at the continued evolution of the two industries that shaped his CFO career: “Two years ago, global Internet advertising surpassed global television advertising revenues to become the biggest media opportunity in the world—so if you’re around long enough, you see some incredible things.” Sign Up for our Newsletter
