Tokyo-bound Sampson sets Aust rifle record. Shooter Dane Sampson has struck career-best form as he builds towards a third Olympics, setting a national record while winning the 50m rifle event at the South Australia championships. Sampson registered a score of 462 points to claim gold in the three positions event. The performance bettered Sampson's own national record of 460.7 points, which he achieved at last month's Wingfield grand prix. The score was also notably higher than what Italy's Niccolo Campriani (458.8) and Poland's Tomasz Bartnik (460.4) produced to win gold at the 2016 Olympics and 2018 world championships respectively. "It's good to be shooting PBs at this stage. It was a world-class finals score," Sampson said, having previously competed at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics. "You are unlikely to lose many competitions with that score. "I definitely feel that I am getting better and better and I am tracking well for Tokyo." Sampson and other members of Australia's shooting team for the 2021 Olympics are set to come together for a pre-Games camp on July 4-19. The camp is intended to mimic the biosecurity bubble and strict protocols that await in Tokyo.
Originally posted by cordingup ↑ I see very interesting says the drill hole 33 now at 688 m so thats 88 m past the planned depth should mean they are still in mineralisation? Also i see in the tenements list those other permits around the MCB area they are still pursuing under appeal i guess the appeal is regards large sections of those falling into a National Park ??? One of those tenements from my reckoning hosts a copper gold resource another has a copper prospect. Expand That does sound promising. Gap up on open

What’s your role in AngloGold Ashanti? – Sam Jonah questioned. After his public address to Rotary Club in Accra, Sam Kwesi Esson Jonah KBE, has come under immense criticism from persons close to the government who feel that portions of his address attacked the Executive. The latest criticism is coming from Paul Adom-Otchere, host of Good Evening Ghana (GEG), who in his biweekly show on Metro TV, tried to ‘punch holes’ in the senior stateman’s speech. According to him, Sam Jonah KBE, must have had a role in Ashanti Gold which later turned into AngloGold Ashanti, therefore, he should be able to tell the young people of Ghana the role he played while working with the company. On his show, Thursday, April 29, 2021, Adom-Otchere stated that, if Sam Jonah KBE wants to talk about the future of Ghana, then he must first of all open up about his past. “Sam Jonah cannot come and talk about the future without answering questions about his past...it behoves him to make statements about his past. If he won’t say anything at all, at least we know his role with Adisadel College and AshGold Football Club, we do not know his role in that major transaction that has punctuated the corporate and political history of our society, the Ashanti transaction,” Paul Adom-Otchere said on his show monitored by GhanaWeb. He indicated that, there are two Ashanti transactions, one was failed by the government of Ghana, which left a lot of rancour’s between JJ Rawlings and Sam Jonah and their relationship broke off completely. “We don’t know the details. Sam Jonah must come and tell us. And then the transaction was rehashed and relaunched in 2001 and 2002, this time it was supported by the JA Kufuor government and it was successful. In both transactions, there was a critical decision about the heritage of the Ghanaian young person; because this gold resource, which is a Ghanaian resource was being treated in a certain way, was it being treated in the right way to guarantee the future of the young people that today Sam Jonah is concerned about? “Was it being treated in a certain way that eventually guaranteed our future? Was there an option with Randgold resources and other people who wanted to participate that could have been better for the future of Ghana?” he asked. Adom-Otchere stressed that, Sam Jonah KBE must answer these questions. “He [Sam Jonah] is a big man, he has been around for a very long time, and he comes and says the youth of Ghana, I now feel the responsibility to speak and you don’t tell us what you’ve been doing in the past, when you have had such a tenacious relationship with the political decision making of Ghana since 1983; you won’t tell us what has happened about that…?” Paul Adom-Otchere argues that, Sam Jonah’s answer to the question will help the Ghanaian youth understand whether or not he has found a new philosophy or a new idea. “So that we can understand whether the idea you present today is the idea that has been with you for a very long time. If that idea that you present today is not an idea that has been with for a long time, it is still a welcome idea but we want to know so that we put it on record because the record is important,” he stressed.

("Company") and its consolidated subsidiaries (together "Komatsu") have engaged in the three- year mid-term management plan (FY2019 - 2021), "DANTOTSU Value - FORWARD Together for Sustainable Growth" for its 100th anniversary in 2021 and beyond. Under the mid-term management plan, launched in April 2019, Komatsu upholds three pillars of growth strategies of 1) value creation by means of innovation, 2) growth strategies based on business reforms, and 3) structural reforms for growth. While economic activities remain sluggish due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Komatsu will continue to make efforts for sustainable growth through a positive cycle of improving earnings and solving ESG issues into the future. For the fiscal year under review (April 1, 2020 - March 31, 2021), the second year of the mid-term management plan, consolidated net sales totaled JPY 2,189.5 billion, down 10.4% from the previous fiscal year. Under unclear and uncertain conditions as affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, in the construction, mining and utility equipment business, demand showed steady recovery, centering on construction equipment, in the second six-month period. However, sales decreased from the previous fiscal year, as full-year demand was critically affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the first six-month period. In the industrial machinery and others business, sales fell from the previous fiscal year, as affected by sluggish capital investment of the automobile manufacturing industry for presses, sheet-metal machines, and machine tools. With respect to profits for the fiscal year under review, operating income dropped by 33.3% from the previous fiscal year, to JPY 167.3 billion. This was mainly due to reduced sales volume, and changes in the compositions of sales, in the construction, mining and utility equipment business, as well as the Japanese yen's appreciation, even while Komatsu worked to reduce fixed costs. The operating income ratio decreased by 2.7 percentage points to 7.6%. Income before income taxes and equity in earnings of affiliated companies fell by 27.0% to JPY 162.7 billion. Net income attributable to Komatsu Ltd. totaled JPY 106.2 billion, down 30.9%.

Business results by operation are described below. Construction, Mining and Utility Equipment For the fiscal year under review, sales of the construction, mining and utility equipment business decreased by 10.6% from the previous fiscal year, to JPY 1,975.9 billion. Segment profit fell by 36.7% to JPY 143.7 billion. Komatsu promoted efforts of focus defined in the three pillars of growth strategies in the mid-term management plan. With respect to automation, autonomy, electrification, and remote control of construction, mining, and utility equipment, i.e., an effort of focus in value creation by means of innovation, Komatsu continued to strengthen the Autonomous Haulage System (AHS) for mining, increasing the total number of AHS trucks in operation to 352 units as of March 31, 2021. Komatsu also advanced remote control verification tests of the large ICT-intensive mining bulldozer D375Ai-8 over commercial 5G network, while continuing efforts to develop an optimization platform designed to improve the safety and optimize operations at customers' mines. Concerning electrification of construction equipment, Komatsu embarked on PoC (Proof of Concept) verification tests of small and medium-sized hydraulic excavators powered by the lithium-ion battery system. With respect to the "SMARTCONSTRUCTION Digital Transformation", a solutions business for construction workplaces, Komatsu is appealing its role as a solution provider to help customers optimize their construction work. To accelerate the pace of achieving digital transformation of construction workplaces, Komatsu continued to promoted the installation of its retrofit kits, which offer ICT functions to conventional construction equipment. Concerning an effort of focus of the growth strategies based on business reforms, Komatsu strengthened the recycle-oriented business, establishing a new Reman plant in Southern Africa for the Reman business which remanufactures and reuses components. In the forest machinery business, Komatsu also strengthened the market introduction of machines designed to promote silviculture (growing and cultivating forest crops). As part of the structural reforms for growth, Komatsu continued its efforts to reassess Komatsu Mining Corp.'s unprofitable business and optimize their production capacity by restructuring production of underground coal mining equipment, selling its conveyor business in the United States and Australia, and transferring its production of roof supports in the United Kingdom.

Japan For the fiscal year under review, demand remained steady, centering on public works, on which the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a small impact. Nevertheless, sales declined from the previous fiscal year, as adversely affected by slack private-sector construction as well as limited sales and service activities in the first six-month period. Americas In North America, sales dropped from the previous fiscal year. While demand for construction equipment was on a recovery track in the housing sector and the rental industry, it was adversely affected by sluggish economic conditions under the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and that for construction and mining equipment remained slack in the energy-related sector. In Latin America, demand for construction equipment remained steady in Brazil, and sales of mining equipment increased to Chilean copper mines. However, sales declined from the previous fiscal year, as mainly affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, especially in the first six- month period. Europe and CIS In Europe, sales decreased from the previous fiscal year, as demand remained sluggish in the first six-month period, although demand was on a recovery track from the adverse effects of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the major markets of Germany, the United Kingdom, and France, as well as in Italy. In CIS, sales declined, affected by sluggish demand for mining equipment in coal mines and depreciation of the Russian ruble, while demand was steady in gold mines and that for construction equipment was on a recovery track in infrastructure development and energy-related sectors. China While the share of sales made by domestic manufacturers increased, demand remained steady, supported by the government's economic stimulus measures, such as infrastructure investment, after containing the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Furthermore, demand advanced in the fiscal year under review, driven by the post-Chinese New Year sales season in February, and because the previous year's sales season in February was pushed back by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. As a result, sales increased from the previous fiscal year. Asia and Oceania In Asia, demand showed steady recovery, centering on construction equipment, in Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, and some signs of recovery for mining equipment emerged in coal mines in Indonesia in the fourth quarter against the backdrop of recovering coal prices. However, sales dropped sharply from the previous fiscal year, as particularly affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the first six-month period. In Oceania, sales increased, supported by steady demand for mining equipment in iron ore mines, as well as for construction equipment. Middle East and Africa In the Middle East, sales improved from the previous fiscal year, supported by steady demand, especially in Turkey, while demand remained slack in Saudi Arabia, largely affected by sluggish crude oil prices and the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. In Africa, demand for construction equipment remained slack in Southern Africa, mainly affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. While some signs of recovery of demand surfaced in other regions, sales declined, as affected by reduced sales of mining equipment as well. Retail Finance While assets increased, reflecting an increase in new contracts centering on North America as well as the affects of foreign exchange rates in the fourth quarter, revenues decreased by 6.4% from the previous fiscal year, to JPY 66.3 billion, as affected by a drop in new contracts in the nine-month period. Segment profit fell by 16.6% to JPY 10.5 billion, mainly reflecting the adverse effects of an extension of payments and revaluation of vehicles after lease use. Industrial Machinery and Others For the fiscal year under review, sales fell by 3.6% from the previous fiscal year, to JPY 171.2 billion. This was mainly affected by slack capital investment of the automobile manufacturing industry for presses, sheet-metal machines, and machine tools, as well as their delayed installation at customers' overseas workplaces, especially under the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Meanwhile, segment profit increased by 19.3% to JPY 16.3 billion, as sales remained steady for Excimer laser-related business in the semiconductor market. [Projections for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2022] (From April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022) In the construction, mining and utility equipment business, Komatsu projects that both sales and profits will increase, as it believes that demand will continue to recover from the fiscal year under review, returning to the level prior to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. By region, Komatsu anticipates demand will expand, especially in Asia, North America and Latin America. In China, Komatsu expects that demand will decline from the fiscal year under review, when the post-Chinese New Year sales season occurred twice. Nevertheless, Komatsu projects that global demand will increase from the fiscal year under review. Furthermore, Komatsu projects that demand for mining equipment will remain steady in iron ore, copper, and gold mines, while it will enter a recovery track in coal mines. With respect to profits, Komatsu expects that they will advance, reflecting an increase in volume of sales, differences in composition of sales, and improved selling prices. In the retail finance business, Komatsu anticipates both sales and segment profit will improve, mainly due to an increase in new contracts. In the industrial machinery and others business, Komatsu projects that both sales and profits will increase, as sales of machine tools and the Excimer laser-related business should grow, respectively, in the automobile manufacturing industry and on the semiconductor market. As preconditions for its projection, Komatsu is assuming the foreign exchange rates will be as follows: USD1=JPY 105.0, EUR1=JPY 124.0, and RMB1=JPY 16.0.

(2) Financial Conditions As of March 31, 2021, while inventories decreased from the previous fiscal year-end, total assets increased by JPY 131.1 billion to JPY 3,784.8 billion, due largely to the Japanese yen's depreciation against the U.S. dollar and some other currencies as well as increased receivables. Interest-bearing debt decreased by JPY 102.3 billion from the previous fiscal year-end, to JPY 909.9 billion. Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' equity increased by JPY 140.6 billion from the previous fiscal year-end, to JPY 1,912.2 billion. As a result, Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' ratio increased by 2.0 percentage points from the previous fiscal year-end, to 50.5%. For the fiscal year under review, net cash provided by operating activities totaled JPY 354.1 billion, an increase of JPY 58.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, largely reflecting decreased inventories. Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 163.0 billion, a decrease of JPY 27.8 billion from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to the purchase of fixed assets. Net cash used in financing activities amounted to JPY 199.6 billion (as compared to JPY 3.4 billion used for the previous fiscal year), mainly due to the repayment of debt and payment of cash dividends. After adding the effects of foreign exchange fluctuations to the total amount of each cash flow, as of March 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents totaled JPY 241.8 billion, a decrease of JPY 5.8 billion from the previous fiscal year-end. [Trends of Financial Conditions Indicators] (Fiscal years ended March 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019) 2021 2020 2019 Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' equity ratio (%) 50.5 48.5 49.9 Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' equity ratio at aggregate market 85.4 46.0 66.7 value (%) Years of debt redemption 2.6 3.4 4.6 Notes: 1) Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' equity ratio: Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' equity/Total assets Komatsu Ltd. shareholders' equity ratio at aggregate market value: Aggregate market value of outstanding shares of common stock/Total assets Years of debt redemption: Interest-bearing debt/Net cash provided by operating activities Basic Policy for Redistribution of Profits and Dividends for the Fiscal Year under Review and Next Fiscal Year Komatsu is building a sound financial position and enhancing its competitiveness in order to increase its sustainable corporate value. Concerning cash dividends, Komatsu has the policy of continuing stable payment of dividends after comprehensively considering consolidated business results and reviewing future investment plans, cash flows and the like. Specifically, Komatsu has the policy of maintaining a consolidated payout ratio of 40% or higher. As described earlier in this report, while demand declined in the construction, mining, and utility equipment business, as adversely affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, it has recovered sooner than expected, since the third quarter, centering on construction equipment. As a result, both sales and profits for the year outperformed the projection of consolidated business results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, which Komatsu announced on October 28, 2020. Concerning cash dividends for the fiscal year under review, after considering consolidated business results for the fiscal year under review and future business prospects under its dividend policy, the Company is planning to increase the year-end common stock dividend per share by JPY 2 from the earlier projection of JPY 25 per share. At the same time, the Company plans to pay the 100th anniversary (May 13, 2021) commemorative cash dividend of JPY 10 per share. As a result, year-end cash dividends for the fiscal year under review should amount to JPY 37 per share, i.e., JPY 12 more than the latest projection of cash dividends. Annual cash dividends should total JPY 55 per share, including the interim cash dividend which has already been paid, and which is showing a decrease of JPY 39 per share from the previous fiscal year, ended March 31, 2020. Accordingly, the consolidated payout ratio will translate into 48.9%. This dividend amount will be proposed to the 152nd ordinary general meeting of shareholders (scheduled for June 18, 2021). Regarding annual cash dividends for the fiscal year, ending March 31, 2022, the Company plans to pay JPY 62 per share, an increase of JPY 7 per share from the fiscal year under review.

The opening of the 15th Art Fair: Taiwanese industry urges cross-strait craft exchanges to be uninterrupted. China News Service, Putian, April 29 (Reporter Lin Chunyin) The 15th China (Putian) Strait Handicraft Fair opened on the 29th in Putian. Tens of thousands of cross-strait arts and crafts made a stunning appearance and 36 Taiwan companies participated in the exhibition. Lin Yunan, secretary-general of Taiwan's Top Craft Association, said that the cross-strait arts and crafts exchanges "unstop" and "uninterrupted", and hope that Taiwanese arts and crafts can bloom in the mainland market. . The theme of this year’s art fair is "Craftsmanship on both sides of the strait, quality of life". Putian Arts and Crafts City has the main venue, China Classical Arts and Crafts Expo City, Xianyou Strait Art Sculpture Tourism City, China Chenqiao Furniture Park, Shangtang Jewelry City, and Putian International The Oil Painting City, Meijia Meiju New Retail Center, Beigao Gold and Jewelry Industrial Park and Putian Art Museum have 8 sub-venues, and 4 award competitions will be held at the same time. The "cross-strait" element has been the highlight of this year's art fair as always. The organizer said that due to the control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Taiwanese craftsmen could not go to Putian to participate in the exhibition, but this year, the number of Taiwanese companies participating in this year has increased to 32 compared with the previous exhibition. They are divided into Taiwan's top crafts association, Fujian and Taiwan folk crafts painted traditional lanterns, and Taiwan cultural and creative The Society won 46 booths in three exhibition halls. This year's art fair awarded Putian City as the "Cross-Strait Arts and Crafts Innovation and Integration Demonstration Base", and continued to promote the deepening of exchanges and cooperation in arts and crafts industries across the Taiwan Strait. During the 7-day exhibition, the 12th "Yiding Cup" Chinese Wood Carving Site Creation Competition, the 7th Chinese Clay Modeling Skills Competition, and the 11th Fujian Province Arts and Crafts Fine Arts "Zhengyan Cup" Competition were held concurrently. A new national-level award competition-the 2021 "Zhongjiang Cup" China Arts and Crafts Creative Design Competition. Lin Yunan, secretary-general of Taiwan’s Top Crafts Association, told reporters from China News Agency that she was concerned about the "prosperity" presented in the above-mentioned competitions. Creative passion." Lin Yunan said that the epidemic has blocked normal cross-strait exchanges. Since last year, she has been based in Fujian to find the mainland market for Taiwan exhibits. The information on cross-strait cooperation trends revealed at this year's art fair has attracted much attention. The exchanges should not stop and cannot be interrupted.” Lin Yun’an also said that she is paying attention to Fujian’s first attempt to include Taiwanese craftsmen in the list of inheritors of intangible cultural heritage, and to give preference to inheritance policies. “There are more and more cultural support policies that benefit Taiwanese. It is conducive to the diversified inheritance of Chinese traditional skills and is worth looking forward to." (Editor in charge: Song Yajing)

Originally posted by kervio: ↑ I think the update said median age of the first set of patients was around mid 50s and median age of the later set of patients was around 69, so they would have only had to have put the inclusion criteria in half way through the trial when the evidence was emerging that age was a huge factor in deaths in order to have a successful trial. This is the big "what if" that might have sent the SP to $10, FDA approval, lives saved etc.We can give them a pass on not knowing that up front for sure because of the speed in which the trial moved forwards on, but I think some reactivity would have saved the day here once more was known about covid (in the same way that we found out about comorbidities leading to higher rates of death).I disagree with this: "This disease has been totally wacky in respect of different age cohorts, and no one has or has had any idea what is going to happen to any given age group once confronted with the disease or results/impact. COVID has everyone flummoxed." until the Brazil variant turned everything on its head (which happened after the trial) there was lots of clear evidence in white papers about the effect of age on covid mortality. The inclusion criteria is there to stop random chance from derailing your study, so if they had say 10 or so 80yo patients that were enrolled and bound to die no matter what it lessons the effect of your treatment on a saveable demographic within your cohort. I agree with your excitement on what the results though, and I think this therapy has some big potential to show effect and get approval in a confirmatory trial with appropriate design. It's better than I expected the results to be. Expand Hey,@kervio. Good points on age effect. I guess I was thinking more broadly, say in respect of MIS-C in kids, under-50s getting blood clots with the Astra Zeneca and J&J vaccines, etc. A lot about COVID has been very unpredictable.As well, we don't know what conversations, if any, were had between MSB, NIH, the FDA and the DSMB. Clearly, someone made the decision not to modify the inclusion criteria and continue the trial, opting to halt it, instead. Most likely NOT MSB's choice, and I doubt they would have been given enough information by the DSMB to allow them to make this call on their own. I am clearly not qualified to speak on the issue, of course!LeftYahoo had a good point about the silver lining here, though - we get the full trial results that much earlier, with it having been halted. Fingers crossed the NIH, the FDA and Novartis are as excited about these amazing results as we are!

Watch the visuals of KDDO and Davido’s ‘Beamer Body’. KDDO has finally released the visuals for the Davido-assisted song Beamer Body , which is from the stable of Sony Music Entertainment West Africa and Pentlife Music. KDDO first teased the collaboration in the final quarter of last year, and it’s been highly-anticipated ever since. The release of this new banger is also sequel to the successful run of his recent and critically acclaimed Amapiano music hit, eWallet that shook the nation with style. Speaking on the track, KDDO remembers linking up with music heavyweight, Davido while on tour last year in Las Vegas to record Beamer Body . “I had already started working on the single back in LA. Davido and I were playing music back at the hotel in Vegas, then the beat came on and we were all just vibing. David really liked it, he got mad hyped about it and added a verse on the spot” says KDDO. While Beamer Body beat is infectious and attacked with melodies from the musical duo, its focal message (adequately represented in glimpses from the music video directed by Chris Simon) seeks to empower beautiful women from around the world to be comfortable in their bodies. “ Feel sexy, baby! There’s something about you ,” KDDO adds. Interestingly, “ Beamer Body ” also serves as the lead single to his forth-coming debut EP project Too Late Too Lit , which is now available for pre-order/pre-save on music streaming platforms. The EP has been designed to be a feel-good body of work for the fans and we probably have the pandemic to thank for catalysing KDDO’s efforts to drop.

Man Utd hammer Roma 6-2 in Europa League semi-final. Bruno Fernandes and Edinson Cavani both scored twice as Manchester United came from behind to take a major step towards sealing a place in next month’s Europa League final. Fernandes gave United a perfect start in their semi-final with Italian side Roma when he swept home Cavani’s first-time lay-off. Paul Pogba’s handball allowed Lorenzo Pellegrini to equalise before the Roma skipper’s pass allowed former Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko to score his sixth goal in five Old Trafford appearances to turn the tie on its head by half-time. But United rallied after the break. Cavani levelled with a superb first-time effort before tapping the hosts back in front when substitute keeper Antonio Mirante pushed Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s angled shot into his path. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men were in no mood to let their advantage slip a second time, although it took a fortunate penalty for what seemed to be an innocuous Chris Smalling tackle on Cavani to give Fernandes the chance add a fourth from the spot. Pogba then powered home a precise header from Fernandes’ cross before Greenwood ran on to Cavani’s pass and drove home United’s sixth, making them the first side to score six goals in a major European semi-final since Real Madrid in the 1964 European Cup. The final scoreline did not quite match United’s epic 7-1 Champions League triumph against the same opponents in 2007 but for Solskjaer, a substitute on that famous night, it was just as sweet. After four successive semi-final defeats in 15 months, the Norwegian really needs to get beyond that stage to silence his doubters, some of whom were never convinced he should have succeeded Jose Mourinho as United boss and point to an absence of silverware that both his predecessor and Louis van Gaal delivered in shorter reigns at the club. Solskjaer’s double fist-pump reaction to Cavani’s equaliser underlined the importance of the Uruguayan’s superb effort, swept into the top corner and part of a two-goal, three-assist contribution from the striker, whose contract expires in the summer. For once, it meant Fernandes had to share top billing as he claimed two assists to go with his brace – although after a below-par couple of months, the Portuguese seems to have recovered his form at the right time. Pogba is United’s other big-name player and the midfielder ended an up-and-down night very much on the positive side, celebrating his header in style as the pressure was released. Greenwood’s effort means only a catastrophe in the second leg can prevent United reaching their eighth European final. – BBC

European stocks rely on stable investment sentiment in the early stage. The economic growth in the United States in the first quarter was better than expected, and the number of people claiming unemployment benefits for the first time last week decreased. Coupled with the Fed's dovish remarks, the market sentiment was positive, and European stock markets stabilized in the early stages. As of 3:40 pm Hong Kong time, the UK FTSE 100 Index reported 6985 points, up 24 points or 0.35%; Germany’s DAX Index reported 15,228 points, up 73 points or 0.49%; France’s CAC 40 Index reported 6316 points, up 14 points Or 0.23%; Italy's FTSE MIB index reported 24387 points, up 109 points or 0.45%. Dow futures temporarily reported 33,909 points, down 42 points. The initial value of the US gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter increased by 6.4% annually. Although it was lower than the 6.7% expected, it was significantly faster than the 4.3% in the fourth quarter of last year. During the period, personal consumption rose 10.7%, slightly higher than estimated . The London copper futures rose above the level of US$10,000 per ton. It reached a high of US$10,008 earlier, which is close to the high of US$10,190 in 2011, and it has recently softened to US$9,881.

Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer new shades: our honest review. As our social calendars are refilling once again, it’s time to dust off your makeup bag. If your once beloved products are looking past their sell by date - we have good news. NARS has relaunched its iconic , which is now available in 16 shades for a more inclusive selection than ever. A hybrid between foundation and moisturiser, the multitasking product is ideal for creating the coveted ‘skinmalism’ natural makeup look. It packs your skin with hydration, while treating it to a fresh-from-holiday glow. NARS’ Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer has long been a favourite among those in the know with its buildable, oil-free formula. It has SPF30 and contains the powerhouse combination of antioxidant-rich vitamin C to protect your skin against environmental aggressors and leave a radiant finish as well as French Polynesian Kopara to nourish and refine your complexion. “I am crazy about healthy beautiful skin!”, explains François Nars, NARS Founder & Creative Director. “I love the weightless texture, rich pigment, and the glow that this product gives to any and every complexion. It is wonderful for all skin types and has a sheerness that allows for your skin’s unique qualities to shine through. It’s also totally effortless.” The ES Best Shopping team took four shades of the for a spin - here’s what we thought. Ellie Davis Acting Shopping Editor Shades: Light 3 Groenland (for light skin with peach undertones) & Light 2 Alaska (for light skins with golden undertones) After nearing a year of not wearing makeup, this tinted moisturiser from NARS acted as the perfect stepping stone I needed after the restrictions eased. I must admit, I feel a bit rusty on the makeup front but this product was a breeze, giving my skin the hydration it desperately needs while coating it with good, buildable coverage and a luminous glow. It is more pigmented than some of the other tinted moisturisers on the market, which was a welcomed treat to my very pale lockdown complexion. I went for two different shades; Alaska and Groenland - the former to suit my aforementioned Vitamin D-deficient skin and the other after a good tanning session courtesy of . I applied the product with a damp Beauty Blender and it went on a treat, spreading seamlessly over my skin. Foolproof. Abha Shah, Digital Shopping Writer Shades: Med-Deep 1 Santiago (For mediumdeep skin with subtle golden undertones) and Med-Deep 2 Marrakesh (For medium-deep skin with olive undertones) I’ve always thought the point of makeup is being able to see it. Why bother otherwise? At least, I had thought that until the pandemic put my makeup kit on furlough. For the best really, my skin needed the break. Now we’ve been given the green light to venture out into the world, it feels strange to apply the full face I used to do on autopilot in the mornings. The arrival of NARS’s new tinted moisturiser feels timely. Available in 16 shades, there were a few options for my Indian skin. I plumped for Santiago, which suits medium deep skin with subtle golden undertones, and Marrakesh, made for medium-deep skin with olive undertones. Squeezing the tube, I was at first dubious over NARS description of this product as a moisturiser - it very much looks like foundation. But I soon found it’s far thinner, leaving my pores ‘dressed’ but feeling as though they could ‘breathe’. The first ‘coat’, while still allowing stubborn acne scars to show through, balanced the medley of tones across my face well. Not a full makeover but rather, a gentle fine-tuning. The Tinted Moisturiser is easily buildable if you want to strengthen your base, but it also pairs well with concealer and bronzer, offering a mildly polished look that feels comfortable as I prepare for the great re-emergence. I’d happily wear this to the office, and save the stronger stuff for a big night out. This content is not available due to your privacy preferences. Read More

Tokyo's key Nikkei index opens lower. TOKYO: Tokyo's key Nikkei 225 index opened lower on Friday in subdued trade during Japan's Golden Week holiday period. The benchmark Nikkei 225 index was down 0.35 percent or 100.89 points at 28,953.08 in early trade, while the broader Topix Index gained 0.06 percent or 1.06 points to 1,910.12. Investors were closing their positions after a national holiday on Thursday and ahead of an extended weekend that will see the market closed from Monday until Wednesday. Normal trading will resume from Thursday. "In early trade, selling related to position adjustments ahead of the holiday period are dominating the market, rather than the market reflecting strong US shares," Okasan Online Securities said. On Wall Street, the Dow finished up 0.7 percent, as did the S&P 500. The tech-rich Nasdaq rose 0.2 percent. The Tokyo market remained well supported following the US Federal Open Market Committee's latest meeting, while investors digested the Biden administration's policy announcement, analysts said. Worries over the Olympics were also weighing on the Tokyo market. "There are lingering speculations about the possible cancellation of the Olympics, which make Japanese shares unattractive to buy," Okasan said. The Tokyo Games are scheduled to open on July 23, but the capital and other economic hubs in Japan are seeing a fresh surge in coronavirus cases. Hospitals in the western city of Osaka are struggling to cope with the spike in infections, and Japan's government has imposed a state of emergency for the city and its surrounding areas, as well as in Tokyo. Doctors and medical experts are increasingly speaking out against holding the pandemic-postponed Games, while polls have long suggested that the public largely support a cancellation or a delay. The dollar stood at 108.89 yen, little changed from 108.92 yen in New York overnight. The government said Japan's factory output in March rose 2.2 percent from the previous month. Among major shares, Sony Group plunged 5.67 percent to 11,140 yen. Chipmaker Murata Manufacturing dropped 3.17 percent to 8,737 yen, and Toyota lost 1.16 percent to 8,203 yen. But SoftBank Group firmed 0.93 percent to 9,983 yen. Medical equipment maker Olympus added 0.27 percent to 2,255.5 yen. Nintendo rose 0.74 percent to 62,710 yen.

3 common mistakes investors make with penny stocks - The Motley Fool UK. In for a penny, in for a pound? Penny stocks can seem appealing. The idea that an investment that costs a matter of pence could generate pounds of rewards can be beguiling. But there are a lot of simple mistakes investors make choosing penny stocks. Here are three I’ve observed. Focus on price not value Here’s a thought experiment. Let’s say my children could travel to school in the cheapest bus the school can buy — or the most expensive. Which would I prefer? The answer seems obvious. For most people, quality is worth paying for. Yet penny stocks can focus our attention on price not value. The legendary investor Warren Buffett said that “price is what you pay, value is what you get”. A penny stock could indeed turn out to be good value. But to assess what the underlying value is, I’d look not just at the price. I’dd also consider the company’s future ability to generate profits and create shareholder value. Penny stocks and balance sheets One common mistake investors make is buying on share price alone without looking at the company’s balance sheet. Imagine buying a second hand car for £100. That might sound like a bargain. But if it needs to have an MOT the following week that identifies £3,000 of necessary repairs, even the £100 price tag could seem like a bad bargain in retrospect. It’s the same when a company has a lot of debt or other future financial obligations that dwarf its financial resources. How will it pay them? Will it have a rights issue and dilute shareholders as a penny stock like Hammerson did last year? Balance sheets scare many people. But they aren’t as technical as they may sound. Before investing in any penny stocks I’d always spend at least a few minutes looking at a company’s recent balance sheets. Seeing what a company’s debt profile looks like is a crucial indicator of its financial health, in my view. Single-asset focus A lot of penny stocks are exclusively or mainly focused on a single asset. I find that’s particularly true with early-stage resource stocks. For example, Bacanora Lithium is pinning a lot of hope on one project in Mexico. Sometimes, such a focus is positive and a lack of diversification can amplify rewards. If a company owns one mining licence and literally strikes gold, its return on capital could be huge. But the reverse is true as well – if a company is over-concentrated in one asset, the lack of diversification can disproportionately damage it. Single-asset focus improves potential reward only by increasing potential risk, in many cases. That matters because, as Warren Buffett reminds us: “Rule number one: never lose money. Rule number two: never forget rule number one”. That can be hard to do. But by learning from common mistakes other investors make, I hope I can improve my likely returns when identifying penny stocks to consider for my portfolio.
#Newsmaker: Cassandra Wingrove heading up sales at Mickey Llew's Australian office. Performance marketing and SEO agency Mickey Llew recently appointed Cassandra Wingrove to lead growth and development at its Australian office. She has been tasked with developing and coordinating growth opportunities to reach the company’s sales objectives of $1.2 AUD (R14m). She will also provide broad operational day-to-day support to the team as the Australian offering and services were previously managed from the Johannesburg head office. Wingrove has a BA Degree in Communications and an Honours in Psychology from the University of Johannesburg and brings a wealth of experience gained from the digital marketing sector. Some of her core capabilities include forecasting the budgeting cycle, managing the financial reporting, developing online communication strategies and providing business intelligence. She says she’s excited to be joining the agency at such a crucial and dynamic period in its growth journey, with the Australian expansion. “I am thrilled to be joining Mickey Llew at such an exciting time as the business expands into Australia. It is also a very interesting time for digital with more opportunities than ever before. Will you be based in South Africa or Australia? I am based in Australia and have lived in Sydney for the past five years. What is your job title and what does your role entail exactly? Head of Sales. I am focusing on building the foundations of the Australian Office, through new client acquisition and also managing the day-to-day operations. We do also have plans to grow out the Australian team. How you plan to navigate the Australian office through these unusual times? These are challenging times around the world, however, a silver lining is that it has allowed certain industries to flourish, such as e-commerce. There have been more opportunities for agencies like Mickey Llew as SEO has never been so important, especially with travel being restricted. It has pushed consumers to discover local businesses nearby. What excites you most about the agency and the Australian office in part? The opportunity at hand. Mickey Llew has built a reputable name for themselves in the South African market by forming strong relationships with their clients, delivering bespoke services and achieving bankable results. This has laid a strong foundation to scale the business fairly quickly and will allow us to build out an Australian-based team. What are you most looking forward to or enjoying thus far? I am enjoying networking with other agencies and business owners. Tell us more about your background/experience and how this has equipped you for the role. I have been in the tech industry for the past seven years. Most of my time was spent at a global media intelligence company, which allowed me to be exposed to running new business processes across IMEA. I was then transferred to the company’s office based in Australia, where I worked across their key account clients. This gave me exposure to many Australian businesses across different industries. I have also been involved in a sideline business of selling on Amazon marketplace in the USA, which has given me a good understanding of some of the foundations that make up SEO, such as keyword research, product listing and running effective campaigns. What do you love most about your career? I love working in the tech industry because I believe in progress. People inevitably use technology to improve lives and help others. We spread knowledge, make tasks easier and make systems more efficient. Also, the industry is fast-paced and always evolving, meaning that there is always something new to learn. What’s at the top of your to-do list? To start building out our local partnerships with other agencies and businesses. What are you currently reading/watching/listening to? I love listening to podcasts whilst I exercise. As a mom of two little boys, the ability to multitask is an essential personality trait. I am currently listening to Kate Toon’s The Recipe for SEO Success, the Serious Sellers Podcast and SEO for the Rest of Us with Brendan Hufford. Tell us something about yourself not generally known? I have my Springbok colours for cheerleading. I competed in two World Championships held in the USA.

Gold Trend Analysis Update. Gold has a chance to buy when it drops once more by the daily resistance key level and then hits a low in the beginning of next week. That low will be the new weekly support key level and will lead the bull market. Gold will rise above 1900 in the short term.

Man ends life after wife tests +ve. Rajkot: Not the just the pandemic, but also the mental trauma caused by the fear of being infected by coronavirus is turning out to be fatal. In an incident highlighting the issue, a 55-year-old man allegedly ended his life by suicide in Rajkot city on Wednesday after his wife tested positive for Covid-19. According to police, the deceased, identified as Hashmukh Chavda, was a resident of Valkeshwar society in Rajkot city. Chavda and his wife Nirmalaben went for Covid-19 testing on Wednesday morning. Nirmalaben tested positive for Covid-19 so their son Rajendra took her to a doctor for further treatment. Chavda, alone at home during that time, allegedly committed suicide. When Nirmalaben and Rajendra returned home they found him hanging from a ceiling fan. “Chavda’s son Rajendra told police that his father was worried about getting infected with the virus after Nirmalaben tested positive and therefore he ended his life,” police said. Rajendra Chavda works as a goldsmith while his father used to work as a mason. Though the numbers aren’t alarming as of now, a disturbing trend of positive persons developing suicidal tendencies has come to the fore. In last 10 days, at least five Covid-19 patients have ended their lives by committing suicides in different parts of Saurashtra region.

Royal Canadian Mint Reports Profits and Performance for 2020. OTTAWA, ON, April 30, 2021 /CNW/ - The Royal Canadian Mint (the "Mint") is pleased to announce its financial results for 2020 that provide insight into our activities, the markets influencing our businesses and our expectations for the next 12 months. "In 2020, employees of the Royal Canadian Mint demonstrated their ability to innovate and deliver great products in a very challenging operating environment" said Marie Lemay, President and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint. "Their hard work contributed to the Mint's success. Employees pivoted quickly in the face of disruption allowing the Mint to generate strong profits." "The Mint continues to respond to the unprecedented situation with COVID-19 in a proactive way that prioritizes the health and safety of our employees. We have adapted our production to be able to continue delivering critical services in support of the essential mining and financial sectors, while adhering to strict new protocols to ensure our work environment is a safe one." "One very special initiative in 2020 was our Recognition Medal, created to recognize frontline workers while raising money for the Breakfast Club of Canada's COVID-19 Emergency Fund. Employees donated their time to this project and thanks to their generosity and the contrinutions of thousands of Canadians, the Mint was able to make a $400,000 donation to the Breakfast Club in 2020." The financial results should be read in conjunction with the Mint's annual report available at www.mint.ca. All monetary amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated. Financial and Operational Highlights The Mint increased its revenue by 74% in 2020 as a result of exceptionally strong global market demand for bullion while consolidated profit before income tax and other items was $27.5 million for the year (2019 – $42.3 million). Higher bullion volumes sold in 2020 increased the Mint's revenue and cost of sales proportionately; however, the Mint's profit margin was impacted in 2020 by lower revenue from its other businesses, without a corresponding decrease in costs. In particular, the Mint continued to pay its employees and did not reduce any fixed costs during the periods of suspended or modified production as a result of the pandemic impacting the Mint's profit margin in 2020 by approximately $6 million. Consolidated revenue increased to $2,527.6 million in 2020 (2019 - $1,453.4 million). Gold bullion volumes increased more than 100% year over year and were 982.8 thousand ounces (2019 – 483.0 thousand ounces) while silver bullion volumes were 29.5 million ounces (2019 – 22.8 million ounces). Sales of numismatic products decreased to $91.9 million in 2020 (2019 - $116.8 million) due mainly to the temporary suspension of numismatic product production as a result of COVID-19 in 2020. Revenue from the Foreign Circulation business decreased 2% to $64.2 million (2019 - $65.4 million) with production and/or shipments of 838 million coins in 2020 and blanks compared to 1,308 million coins and blanks in 2019. Canadian circulation coins produced and sold to the Department of Finance for inventory were 229 million pieces in 2020 (2019 – 385 million pieces) while coins sold to financial institutions to meet demand decreased 8% year over year. Operating expenses, overall, increased 4% year over year to $98.5 million (2019 – $94.5 million) as the Mint focused on enhanced organizational resiliency in 2020 and the development of its updated long-term strategic vision and the strategy for the Mint's future business transformation. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $67.3 million (December 31, 2019 - $65.5 million) after the Mint declared and paid a $20 million dividend to its Shareholder, the Government of Canada, in 2020. Cash and cash equivalents remain at the level required to support the Mint's operations.

‘Waiting to die’: India grieves with bodies arriving in crematoriums ‘non-stop’, as COVID-19 death toll climbs. As new infections increase at a record rate, people in India are dying waiting for beds with oxygen supplies running low, and hospitals crumbling under the strain. Those on the ground claim the fatalities are being markedly underreported as people are dying 'left, right and centre.' By Avneet Arora WARNING: Distressing content Socked in a tiny village in Gumtala in India’s northern state of Punjab, Rani thought her family was insulated from the perils of the pandemic that has gripped the country, primarily urban India. Little did she know that virus is immune to the structural divide and would penetrate her home and claim the lives of three members of her family, in three days. Highlights: 'I went to the cremation ground three times in three days' “I went to the cremation ground three times in three days,” says the inconsolable 55-year-old Rani whose family has been tethered by the perilous virus that is roughly claiming 117 lives every hour. “First my daughter-in-law died of COVID on April 20, then it claimed my son on April 21 and then my younger son’s grown-up child took ill. He too passed away after a few hours of his uncle’s death,” she says as she sobs on the phone. Rani’s village is approximately 10 miles away from the nearest city Amritsar that houses the Golden Temple, the holiest Sikh shrine. The gutted mother says with her entire family of six down with COVID-19, they did not have any support to take those critical to the hospital in the city. ‘It’s getting scarier by the minute’ Rani’s horror story is being repeated across the country, particularly in the capital city New Delhi, the epicentre of the deadly second wave, which has recorded over 3,000 deaths in the last ten days, according to the health ministry data. Brisbane-based Raj whose 78-year-old mother has tested positive is currently hunkered at a distant relative’s house in Delhi because there’s no one to take care of her. The 38-year-old whose outward exemption was revoked after the travel ban says he doesn’t want his mother to become another statistic in the rising death toll. “I can’t be there with her and she is stuck at my aunt’s house in Delhi. Every time the phone rings, my heart stops because I fear for her wellbeing. The only respite is that she is at home and doesn’t have too many symptoms at this point,” Raj says. “Every time I switch on the TV, all I see is bodies wrapped in white bags piled on vehicles. It’s getting scarier by the minute,” he adds. ‘Bodies are coming in non-stop’ The political seat of the South Asian country is witnessing a staggering number of new infections daily, where survival has now become a luxury as people scramble for hospital beds, oxygen, ambulances, and a spot to lay their loved ones to rest. Jyotjeet Singh, the director of the disaster cell at Shaheed Bhagat Singh Sewa Dal, a charity group that has been facilitating cremations for COVID-afflicted fatalities tells SBS Punjabi that the waiting time to get to a pyre is anywhere between eight to ten hours at the Seemapuri crematorium, a site in northeast Delhi where the group carries out cremations. “Bodies are piling up. It’s 8:30 pm (local time) on 28 April and we have cremated over 144 bodies in a day at this site alone. Last week, we were so overwhelmed with bodies that at one point, we ran out of wood for the pyres and had to appeal to people to send logs,” he says. Mr Singh says bodies are coming in “non-stop” and warns that if this goes on for a few more days, they will have to start burning the remains on the roadside. “There is no help from the government whatsoever. We have made a makeshift cremation site at the park in the vicinity. Now that is also incapacitated, and we have started to cremate in the parking lot. I wouldn’t be surprised when even crematoriums would start turning away people,” he says. He claims many deaths are going unaccounted for, especially in cases where people are dying at home while they are quarantined. “There is a gross underreporting of the number of deaths. Casualties are at least ten times more than the official figure being reported by the government. There is no record or digital footprint of people who never got tested or were hospitalised, and have succumbed to the virus at their homes. People are dying left, right and centre,” Mr Singh adds. Crematoriums are melting: Calling it one of the grimmest times in India’s history, Mr P Patel, a worker at the Kurukshetra Crematorium in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home turf Gujarat says that last week, the chimney at the site melted as a result of overheating caused by round the clock cremations in the gas furnaces at the premises. “Chimneys are getting overheated because they aren’t getting time to cool down. Last year around this time, we got a maximum of 25 bodies at the height of the wave, now we are receiving over 100 bodies in a day. It's that bad,” he says. Civilians stepping up to help: As many struggle after testing positive, those still safe are striving to help others. Samir Singh, the chairman and managing director of the Delhi-based Sikh Chamber of Commerce has set up a helpline service with a help of over 75 volunteers. “We have set up a helpline service through which we are helping people to locate hospitals which have oxygen supplies, critical care beds and we are also sending ambulances to people in need,” he says. Mr Singh says people are reaching out to him and his team through phone, WhatsApp groups and social media or word of mouth. “They contact us from far and wide and we ensure that patients are connected with providers. We do not randomly provide them with contacts, but we verify them to ensure that if they are claiming to have oxygen cylinders, its not a hoax because patients or their families don’t have time to do this spadework,” the 42-year-old says. Indian Australians doing their bit: Devastated by the news trickling in from India, Brisbane-based Karanpreet Singh is raising funds for people battling the virus in India. The 30-year-old father of two says funds raised would be sent to a registered not for profit group in Punjab that will be using the money to buy oxygen concentrators. “The idea is to help. We are sitting miles away from our families and loved ones. At this point, almost every household is impacted be it physically, emotionally, or financially. I know people are sceptical to donate, but I’d say so your bit in whichever way you can,” Mr Singh says. Click on the player above to listen to the interview.

Gold Coast Suns $2.60 to win ...... I’ll take that on
Hammersmith Bridge: Bridge of sighs and a shameful collective catalogue of failure. Clemmie Watkins used to have a 10-minute walk to school across . Since September, it has become a 40-minute bike ride via on roads plagued by speeding drivers and riverside paths that flood when the Thames rises. On winter nights, even adults avoid her unlit route home across Dukes Meadows, a haunt of muggers and doggers. On Wednesday the 13-year-old slipped and fell crossing a wet Barnes bridge, cutting herself and ruining her school skirt. “It’s really annoying,” she said. “If it floods it’s so much longer in the rain. It’s not good.” by Hammersmith and Fulham council when cracks were detected in its pedestals. The crossing was kept open to pedestrians and cyclists until August last year, but the cracks widened. Since then, the effect on has been “catastrophic”, . About 4,000 vehicles a day divert via her Putney constituency. Even at 7am, the already polluted approaches to Putney bridge, the nearest alternative crossing, are gridlocked. The inability to reopen the bridge has made London a laughing stock. Politicians blame each other while residents despair. Ms Anderson describes it as an “international embarrassment”. It has even made the New York Times. On September 9 last year, Transport Secretary , accompanied by Tory mayoral candidate Shaun Bailey, visited the bridge. In a video, Mr Shapps vowed to “take control” and “get it fixed and reopened”. . Yesterday it met for the 15th time. The taskforce includes representatives from Transport for London and Heidi Alexander, Sadiq Khan’s deputy mayor for transport. But Mr Khan said this week that the taskforce had been little more than a “talking shop to kick the can down the road”. Clemmie’s mother, Julia Watkins, a member of the Hammersmith Bridge SOS residents’ group, agrees. “You can’t walk over a taskforce,” she said. “They have done nothing. They were meant to be knocking heads together. Baroness Vere points the finger at Hammersmith and Fulham council. The council points the finger at Grant Shapps.” A resident survey found some feeling suicidal because of the closure. Almost nine in 10 said they had suffered worse mental health. The apolitical Hammersmith Society, in a letter to the Prime Minister, said: “The communities on both sides of the river are unified in their anger, their disappointment and their despair.” There is a growing acknowledgement that only the Government has the financial might to break the deadlock. The council owns the bridge but cannot afford the £141 million restoration bill. Mr Shapps wants the council to pay half the bill. has provided about £20 million for investigations and design work, including £4 million for a temporary ferry and repairs from a government Covid bail-out last year. “The Government should be able to break this deadlock,” Ms Watkins said. “They could have straightaway funded a temporary pedestrian and cycling bridge. Instead they went for this ludicrous ferry. It’s completely inadequate.” Even the ferry has been delayed. An initial plan was to have it start operating last autumn. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers has won the contract but two temporary piers have yet to be constructed. Residents fear services may not start until November. “Our contract is to have it running by the beginning of October, but we are in negotiations with TfL to accelerate that,” said a spokesman for Beckett Rankine, which will design the piers. “TfL would like it ready at the start of September, but there are a lot of things that have to go right. Normally it would take a year to build a new pier.” The contract between TfL and Thames Clippers is for a minimum of 12 months, to a maximum of five years. Adults will be charged £1.55 per crossing, though children will travel free. There will be two ferries, with a third as back-up. The crossing will take 90 seconds, with a boat every five to seven minutes in peak hours. “It will be a huge improvement for the residents,” the Beckett Rankine spokesman said. “It will be a very slick service. Thames Clippers know what they are doing.” The source added: “It’s a lot cheaper than a temporary bridge.” The council’s preferred option is a “double decker” bridge. Designed by architects Foster + Partners and specialist bridge engineers COWI, it would cost about £100 million — £41 million less than fully restoring the existing bridge. This could allow the bridge to reopen to pedestrians and cyclists in summer next year, and to drivers two months later — four years earlier than otherwise planned. But motorists would face an estimated £3 toll. The other hope for a “quick win” rests with engineers who have analysed the structural integrity of the pedestals. It may be the case that the ironwork has stabilised and the bridge could be safe to reopen to pedestrians and cyclists. The engineers’ report was submitted to the DfT three weeks ago. But sources say that “further engineering analysis and checks need to be completed” — and this could take a further three months. Behind the scenes there is concern about safety. The Government wants the council to retain liability should anything go wrong. Residents are furious at the thought that a “risk-averse culture” could be used as an excuse to keep the bridge closed. “On that basis, politicians should close every bridge in the country,” one said, noting that teenagers continue to climb the railings to cross the bridge at night and use it as a skateboard park. “If they continue to do that after the engineers’ report shows it’s safe, that is just despicable. They’re ruining people’s lives.” The key date is when the clocks go back in October, when the thousands a day who follow Clemmie’s route risk being stranded on the wrong side of the river. Michelle Coulter, another member of Hammersmith Bridge SOS, whose daughters Iris, 16, and Lana, 13, also attend school in Hammersmith, said children were often unable to board the replacement buses. Under Covid rules, the single-deckers can only carry 14 passengers. “Since August it’s become so stressful, I cannot tell you,” she said. “My youngest finishes school at 4pm. In winter she was getting home at 5.30pm, sometimes 6pm. That was by bus.” Mr Khan accuses the Government of “dither and delay” and failing to honour promises made before the 2019 General Election. The council submitted its double-decker bridge proposal in February, but it is regarded by the DfT to be lacking detail. Two weeks ago, minister Rachel Maclean accused the council of wearing “gold-tinted lenses” and said a “blank cheque” would not be forthcoming. The DfT said it could not comment due to pre-election purdah restrictions. Sadiq Khan (Lab) Keen to have the bridge reopened to pedestrians and cyclists if engineers find the structure safe but says the bridge will only fully reopen to vehicles when the Government covers the bulk of the cost. A TfL-funded ferry service is due to start in the autumn. Shaun Bailey (Con) Promises to make the ferry free, build a temporary road bridge and fully repair the existing bridge, which he would rename the Prince Philip bridge. Says it is essential the bridge can carry vehicles and would not impose a toll on motorists. Says TfL should have funded the full repairs as soon as the bridge closed in 2019. He would fund his ideas by establishing a TfL investment fund. Sian Berry (Green) Believes the Department for Transport should provide “at least the majority of the costs” of repairing the bridge, and wants a date to be set for the reopening of the bridge for walking and cycling. Luisa Porritt (Lib Dem) “The Government is the only body with the funds to foot the bill. The mayor could make a bigger contribution if the £2 billion Silvertown Tunnel road project was axed.”

Lucea Primary School fighting back challenges caused. THE Lucea Primary School, which provided educational instruction to thousands of students from across Hanover and adjacent parishes, is fighting back the the challenges brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Principal of the 62-year-old institution, Yazmin Anderson Jackson, says the students and staff have embraced the changes that have transformed the modalities of lessons that are delivered and how stakeholders interact with each other. Students preparing for the Grade Six Primary Exit Profile (PEP) Ability Test were given an opportunity to have face-to-face classes between February 1, 2021 and March 18, 2021. However, the spike in COVID-19 cases in the parish has forced classes to return online. Grade six social studies teacher Francena Black is highly motivated and hopes to pass on her enthusiasm to her students. Black, who is faced with the daily challenges of keeping her students motivated, said being online requires new approaches to lesson delivery. She has incorporated different modalities to maintain her students' interest. One such method is through the use of different resource persons to teach subjects in their areas of expertise. “We find that it really gets them engaged. Having [different resource persons] throughout the day, we find that this makes a great difference,” Black said, citing “guest teachers” from the Forestry Department, the Hanover Municipal Corporation and the Jamaica Information Service . The school, which had its genesis in an old soldier barracks near the seaside, is currently located in Malcolm Heights, which overlooks the aquamarine waters of Lucea Harbour. At present, there are more than 625 students on roll and 31 teachers on staff. Lucea Primary is propelled by the vision of excellence for all. In light of this, programmes are implemented to help students become well rounded. The motto, 'Soaring High on Integrity', alludes to that. Anderson Jackson is proud to note that students have earned scholarships due to their high academic performance. “Over the years, we have excellent performances at the JCDC festival, winning many gold medals as well as silver medals in dance, music and speech,” she said. “Students are also involved in sports and have been crowned parish champions in cricket and football,” Anderson Jackson notes, pointing out that the school has showcased its talents in Spanish and 4-H competitions and continues to provide these avenues for self-expression and development for its students. She said that COVID-19 has forced the school to use the Google Suite platform, and “we have been coping quite well” Despite the challenges of poor Internet connectivity in some areas, loss of electricity occasionally and the lack of devices for some students, Anderson Jackson is optimistic that her school community will continue to rise. “Our highly trained staff goes beyond the call of duty to ensure that students are catered for at all levels and that the school lives up to its mission to provide a system which secures quality holistic education for all students,” she told JIS News.

Advertorial (?) in the Australian from Anzac Day ..cheers https://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/dgo-gold-aiming-to-strike-a-balance-in-gold-exploration/news-story/231d9ce048bfd7d7f87545741008db15DGO Gold aiming to strike a balance in gold explorationDGO Gold is hoping it has created a strategic investment model that will reinvigorate gold exploration in Australia. Picture: BloombergDAMON KITNEYVICTORIAN BUSINESS EDITOR6:42PM APRIL 25, 2021Melbourne investment banker Bruce Parncutt calls his latest plaything a “gold discovery company”.Neither an explorer nor a miner, the ASX-listed DGO Gold — of which Mr Parncutt has been an executive director for the past year — is looking to carve out a unique niche in the Australian gold sector.Its game plan is to make strategic equity investments in West Australian brownfield gold discoveries, bankroll themwith additional capital and combine them with its own pursuit of largely-ignored exploration opportunities.Mr Parncutt said he hopes DGO has created a model that can reinvigorate gold exploration in Australia.“Gold is our fourth largest export so the industry is pretty important for the nation. We do the mining part well but I’m not so sure we do the exploration part well. Especially the brownfields guys who need to get their resource to some scale,” he said. “Most junior explorers find a piece of ground and they raise the capital and explore. We think we are adding intelligent value to that process.” DGO is also a unique human story, combining the skills of a career investment banker and former boss of McIntosh Securities in Mr Parncutt, with the exploration expertise of one of the resource sector’s most famed geologists, Ed Eshuys.As Joseph Gutnick’s exploration director in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Mr Eshuys led the teams that discovered the Plutonic, Bronzewing and Jundee gold deposits and the Cawse nickel deposit. Before those triumphs, Mr Eshuys also had involvement in the Maggie Hays and Mariners nickel discoveries in the 1970s.He is now DGO Gold’s executive chairman and is working closely with Mr Parncutt — who has been on the board since 2018 — and DGO’s management team to develop two sizeable WA gold resources and to explore for more.“We do bring together a unique set of skills. It is all very well to have the money but to apply that you need the technical skills” Mr Eshuys said.“Bruce and I do debate between ourselves our respective points of view and invariably come up with a consensus. That has led us to a disciplined approach to take DGO from where it was to where it is now.”DGO Gold directors Ed Eshuys and Bruce Parncutt.DGO Gold initially evaluated 100 gold explorers and their projects. Ten ASX juniors made the shortlist before DGO narrowed it down to two, taking strategic stakes in booming Pilbara gold explorer De Grey Mining and Leonora gold explorer NTM Gold.DGO has a string of major greenfield exploration projects of its own being drilled, including on prime South Australian ground owned by junior explorer Investigator Resources as the first stage to earning an 80 per cent stake in the latter’s Pernatty copper project. DGO also has a 40 per cent interest in Yilgarn Exploration Ventures, which is drilling in the Leonora district of Western Australia.“One of the critical things we found when we were talking to all the juniors was that they didn’t understand the need to have at least 3 million ounces to have something of meaningful scale,” Mr Eshuys said.“Part of our discussions with these companies was about raising sufficient funds to do the job properly. That is where De Grey came to the party. They did understand they needed to raise more money and they did that.”The strategy has seen DGO Gold shares soar from just 17c four years ago, and $1.70 last year when Mr Parncutt became an executive, to close on Friday at $3.63.They soared over $4 in September last year on the back of the coronavirus-fuelled surge in the gold price, which saw it spike to $US2056 per ounce last August.While gold prices have trended lower since the start of 2021 amid rising US Treasury yields and an increasingly positive outlook for the global economic recovery, the DGO share price has held up.DGO now owns 16 per cent of De Grey, which is drilling out a significant Pilbara gold discovery. It also has board representation and has supported De Grey’s capital raisings, including a $25m round last September.“De Grey is in a unique position in terms of its Pilbara land position. That is one of our key elements when we invest and explore,” Mr Eshuys said.Following the merger late last year of NTM Gold with Dacian Gold, DGO will now emerge with a 10 per cent stake in Dacian.Of the $25m raised last September, $8m was also pegged for greenfield exploration.The value of DGO’s stake in De Grey covers its $225m market capitalisation, meaning the market is currently attributing no value to DGO’s substantial exploration interests.DGO has attracted some big name investors, including stockbroking veteran Tom Klinger, one of Christopher Skase’s biggest backers through the 1980s and another former McIntosh managing director. Others are former stockbroking resources turned private equity fund adviser Peter Woodford, the rich-lister Costa family member Robert Costa and Regal Funds Management.
Europe oil firms post huge profits as crude rallies. Paris—European oil majors have posted strong quarterly profits as a recovery in crude prices fueled their rebound from the coronavirus crisis. France’s Total, Britain’s BP, Anglo-Dutch group Shell and Spain’s Repsol have this week posted $14.5 billion in first-quarter profits between them. At the same time, the companies renewed their commitments to investing in renewable energies. It’s a huge turnaround from last year, when global lockdowns decimated economic activity and oil prices fell off a cliff, taking the energy giants’ balance sheets with them. Royal Dutch Shell led the way posting a $5.7-billion (4.7 billion euros) net profit in the first quarter on Thursday following a loss in the same period last year. BP also returned to the black, booking a $4.7-billion profit while Total added $3.3 billion, even outstripping pre-pandemic levels. Repsol, browbeaten by two years of huge losses, scored a $783-million gain. The results are a boon for the majors, who made tens of billions of cumulative losses last year as the health pandemic took hold and prices collapsed. Prices have returned to pre-pandemic since them, exceeding $60 per barrel. Goldman Sachs analyst see prices rising to $80 in the next six months. “These are profitable price levels and it is not a surprise that oil companies have published strong results,” said Michael Tamvakis, commodity economics professor at London’s Business School. Oil prices should remain strong as the driving and flying season restarts later in May and June, Tamvakis said. “So for now, oil companies have weathered the storm,” he said. The profits are also a reflection that some companies are slimming down their staff levels. Shell decided to ax more than 10 percent of its global workforce, or up to 9,000 jobs. Shell, like some of its peers, has also been shedding assets. That gave it a $1.4-billion boost in the first quarter. “Shell has made a strong start to 2021, generating over $8 billion of cash in the quarter,” said chief executive Ben van Beurden. He added that Shell’s model is ideally positioned to benefit from recovering demand. “Fortunately for investors these latest results come without the drama seen this time last year when Shell cut its dividend for the first time since the Second World War,” said Keith Bowman, equity analyst at Interactive Investor. Shell this time around increased its dividend payout by about 4.0 percent compared with the final quarter of last year.

Global gold demand, first quarter near low level for the first time in 13 years Investor sales. [London, 29th Reuters] --Global gold demand in the first quarter of this year has remained near its lowest level since 2008, according to a quarterly report released by the World Gold Council (WGC), an international gold research institute. It was. While Asian consumer buying has returned, investor sales have expanded in Europe and North America. Last year, as the spread of the new coronavirus hit the global economy, investors were increasingly buying gold as a safe haven. At the same time, lockdowns to curb the spread of infection have slowed sales of gold jewelery, gold nuggets and gold coins in China and India, which are normally the two biggest consumers. As the global economy recovers, this trend is now reversing, with investors shrinking their holdings and Asian consumer buying returning. According to the WGC, global gold demand from January to March this year was 815.7 tons, a slight increase from 813.7 tons in the previous quarter. However, it decreased by 23% year-on-year. Consumer demand in China was 286.4 tonnes, the highest level since the first quarter of 2017. On the other hand, exchange-traded fund (ETF) gold holdings fell by 177.9 tons, the largest decline since the fourth quarter of 2013. Due to the sale by ETF, the gold price fell from the record high of 1 ounce = $ 2072.50 in August last year to around $ 1,700 in March. According to the WGC, this helped boost demand for Asians. In April, ETF sales slowed sharply and gold prices picked up towards $ 1800. WGC analyst Christian Gopaul said consumers and investors' demand for gold this year is likely to remain resilient, albeit below its recent peak. Gold purchased by the central bank in the first quarter was 95.5 tonnes, the highest level since the second quarter of last year. However, it was well below the typical level seen in 2018 and 2019.

Canada Nickel (CNC) owns 100% of the Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide project: A new nickel discovery with large scale potential in an established mining camp adjacent to existing infrastructure north of Timmins, Ontario, Canada. One of the top 10 nickel sulphide resources globally, with significant expansion potential Initial metallurgical testing confirmed excellent nickel recovery of 46%, 51% and 52% from the first 3 locked cycle tests using conventional flowsheet design. Latest testing show 15% less grinding energy required Nickel mineralization in Crawford extended to Main, East, West and North Zones, with total strike length of ~7 km. New target from MacDiarmid option property 15% larger than original Crawford Main Zone Groundbreaking, mutually beneficial MOUs signed with local First Nations Canada Nickel has launched wholly-owned NetZero Metals Inc. to develop zero-carbon production of Nickel, Cobalt and Iron - has applied for trademarks NetZero Nickel TM , NetZero Cobalt TM , NetZero Iron TM Canada Nickel is completing a PEA on the Crawford Project by May 2021, FS by year-end 2021 MOU signed with Glencore to examine potential to use Kidd Creek mill and met site to allow faster, significantly lower capital cost startup. Canada Nickel is well timed - nickel appears to be entering a supercycle which occur every 15-20 years. Prices should remain at relatively high levels for an extended period to incent new supply to meet already strong demand growth further accelerated by substantial requirements from electric vehicles Nickel has limited investible opportunities - Prior supercycle in 2005-2007 largely emptied project pipeline outside Indonesia. * Mineral Resource Estimate prepared by Caracle 3 Creek International Consulting Inc.

Under-supplied metal palladium races past $3,000/oz for first time. Meanwhile, spot gold was down 0.2% at $1,769 per ounce by 0910 GMT. Palladium pierced the $3,000 an ounce high for the first time on Friday, powered by persistent concerns about short supply of the metal used primarily for emissions-controlling devices in automobiles. Palladium was last up 1% to $2,984.68 per ounce, after hitting an all-time high of $3,007.73. It was on track to post a monthly gain as well. "Palladium is in a structural deficit since 10 years. We have seen above ground inventories falling to very low levels, and now the price gives a signal to investors still holding it," UBS analyst Giovanni Staunovo said. "The commodity ... comes with very low trading volume so it can be very illiquid and this is making the moves even more crazy. This rally can continue, particularly if car sales start to improve going forward." Demand from the auto industry is rising and expected to climb further as a semiconductor chip shortage that has curtailed vehicle production eases later this year. But Commerzbank analyst Carsten Fritsch said prices are unlikely to see a sustained run above $3,000, with substitution likely to bring prices down as the year goes on. "At this level more and more car manufacturers will think about substitution (of palladium for platinum)." A shift to electric vehicles may also eventually erode palladium demand, although tightening environmental rules have forced carmakers to use more and more palladium in their gasoline engines in recent years. Meanwhile, spot gold was down 0.2% at $1,769 per ounce by 0910 GMT. U.S. gold futures were steady at $1,769.00. Data showed on Thursday that U.S. economic growth accelerated in the first quarter. Separately, a report from the U.S. Labor Department showed a dip in initial claims for state unemployment benefits. Silver fell 0.5% to $25.96 per ounce, though was poised for an over 6% monthly gain - its biggest since last December. Platinum was up 0.7% at $1,206.

3 stellar ASX growth shares for investors in May. Are you look for a growth share to buy next month? Three that could be worth considering are listed below. All three have been growing strongly in recent years and look well-placed for more of the same during the 2020s. Here’s what you need to know about these ASX growth shares: Adore Beauty Group Limited (ASX: ABY) Adore Beauty is Australia’s leading online beauty retailer. It has been growing very strongly during the pandemic. So much so, it almost tripled its operating earnings to $5.2 million during the first half of FY 2021. Despite this, the Adore Beauty share price recently hit a record low. This has been driven by broad weakness among ecommerce shares. One broker that believes it has a long runway for growth and sees this weakness as a buying opportunity is UBS. Earlier this month it put a buy rating and $6.20 price target on its shares. Megaport Ltd (ASX: MP1) Another growth share to look at is Megaport. It is an elasticity connectivity and network services company. Its increasingly popular service allows businesses to increase and decrease their available bandwidth in response to their own demand requirements. Demand has been strong, leading to Megaport growing at a rapid rate over the last few years. Pleasingly, this has continued in FY 2021. Earlier this month it released its third quarter update and revealed an 8% quarter on quarter increase in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) to $6.8 million. This went down well with UBS, which retained its buy rating and lifted its price target to $17.10. Xero Limited (ASX: XRO) A final growth share to look at is Xero. It provides small and medium sized businesses with a cloud-based business and accounting solution. It has been growing strongly over the last few years thanks to its international expansion, acquisitions, and the transition to the cloud. Positively, all these drivers are still in place and should be supported by its burgeoning app ecosystem. If the company can monetise this ecosystem and continue its international expansion, it could support decades of strong revenue growth according to Goldman Sachs. The broker currently has a buy rating and $153.00 price target on its shares. Where to invest $1,000 right now When investing expert Scott Phillips has a stock tip, it can pay to listen.

Apple Faces EU Antitrust Action for 'Abusing' Music. Apple Faces EU Antitrust Action for 'Abusing' Music Streaming Dominance By: TheStreet | April 30, 2021 • 'By setting strict rules on the App store that disadvantage competing music streaming services, Apple deprives users of cheaper music streaming choices and distorts competition,' the EU says. Apple Inc. (AAPL) shares slipped lower Friday after European Union officials charged the world's biggest tech company with abusing its dominance in the music streaming market. The EU's Competition Commission said Apple uses restrictions within its App store that prevent rivals from informing iPhone and iPad users of cheaper alternatives to Apple Music while charging higher fees that distort competition. EU rules allow for fines that could reach 10% of Apple's annual sales, which hit $275.5 billion in the fiscal year ending on September 28. The Commission levied a record $5 billion fine against Goggle parent Alphabet (GOOGL) - Get Report in 2018 following a lengthy investigation into contracts that tie makers of android-operated smartphones to the exclusive sale of its apps. “App stores play a central role in today's digital economy. We can now do our shopping, access news, music or movies via apps instead of visiting websites," said the Commission's Executive Vice President, Margrethe Vestager. "Our preliminary finding is that Apple is a gatekeeper to users of iPhones and iPads via the App Store. With Apple Music, Apple also competes with music streaming providers." "By setting strict rules on the App store that disadvantage competing music streaming services, Apple deprives users of cheaper music streaming choices and distorts competition," she added. "This is done by charging high commission fees on each transaction in the App store for rivals and by forbidding them from informing their customers of alternative subscription options.” Apple shares were marked 0.7% lower in early trading following the EU charges and changing hands at $132.60 each.

China's gold production in the first quarter shrinks by 10% and consumption is 94%. The China Gold Association announced that the domestic raw material gold production in the first quarter of this year was 74.44 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 9.92%. Among them, China National Gold, Shandong Gold, Zijin Mining, Shandong Zhaojin and other large gold conglomerates produced 30.78 tons of mineral gold, accounting for the proportion of the country. Up to 52.25%. According to the association, the actual consumption of gold in the country during the period was 288.2 tons, an increase of 93.9% year-on-year. Among them, gold jewellery was 169.18 tons, an increase of 83.81%. Based on the low base caused by the outbreak in the same period last year, and the results of China's overall epidemic prevention and control and economic and social development gradually appearing, the gold consumption in the first quarter has returned to the level of the same period in 2019. The scale of domestic gold ETFs continued to grow in the first quarter, with a total increase of 11.5 tons. As of the end of March, domestic gold ETF holdings were about 72.4 tons. The association stated that high-quality resources and high-quality productivity are further concentrated in large gold companies. The fall in gold prices has also prompted an increase in demand from industrial gold companies. The improvement in the macro economy and the fall in gold prices have caused physical gold investment to continue the high heat in the fourth quarter of last year, with a sharp rise year-on-year. In the first quarter of 2021, with the turnaround of the global epidemic and the steady progress of vaccination, as well as the continuous strengthening of the U.S. dollar under the large-scale fiscal stimulus of the Biden government of the United States, the price of gold fluctuated and corrected during the period.

Closed overview-Nikkei average falls sharply Soshin Electric stops high. The Nikkei average on the 30th fell sharply. The closing price was 28812 yen, a decrease of 241 yen. After digesting many overseas ingredients, the price of the approach has dropped by nearly 50 yen. I widened the rate of decline to three digits and tried to return once it fell below 28,900 yen, but it did not reach the plus zone and was resold. After that, it continues to be pushed by risk aversion sales before the Golden Week holidays. In the front, it stopped at around 28,900 yen, but in the back, there was a scene where the price was lowered to nearly 300 yen and rushed to the 29,700 yen level. Although it rebounded slightly toward the close, it closed in the low price range. The trading value of the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is estimated at 3,110 billion yen. By industry, shipping, steel, and land transportation rose, while transportation equipment, rubber products, glass and earth and stone fell. Soshin Electric Co., Ltd., which expects a significant increase in profits, gathered purchases and stopped high. On the other hand, AI inside plummeted to half the price of the stop price, which was not in the market.

National karate fighters win medals at Unmei Cup-2021. By Laman Ismayilova Azerbaijani karate fighters have won two medals at Unmei Cup-2021 in Belarus. The karate fighters of the Azerbaijan Emergencies Ministry's Sports and Recreation Center enriched the country's medal haul with gold and silver medals. More than 450 karate fighters from seven countries took part in the international karate tournament. Nijat Karimli (61 kg) took gold in kumite and silver in the individual championship. Nihad Karimzade (70 kg) also became a silver medalist. Their first coaches were honored coaches, 6th degree black belt holders Akif Kerimov and Rafael Mammadov. Now young karate fighters are trained by the two-time world champion in karate, holder of 8th degree black belt, first vice-president of the Azerbaijan Taekwondo Federation, director of the Sports and Health Center under the Azerbaijan Ministry of Emergencies, Colonel Fizuli Musayev. The coach has recently met with karate fighters and wished them further success. Notably, the national karate fighters will take part in Karate 1 Youth League to be held in Cyprus this June. Azerbaijani karate team is considered one of the strongest teams in Europe and the World. The National Karate Federation was founded in 1994. Three years later, it became a full member of the World Karate Federation (WKF). WKF is the only karate federation recognized by the International Olympic Committee, whose main objective is to combine the basic style of karate under the general rules of the competition and enter into the program of the Olympic Games. It is the largest and most powerful karate organization in the world, comprising 183 countries and more than 50 million members. Over the past few years, national karate fighters have won prestigious international tournaments, European and World championships. Rafael Aghayev has managed to achieve all of the highest sporting victories in karate; he is multiple European Champion and multiple World Champion. For outstanding sports achievements, he has repeatedly received awards from the leadership of the National Olympic Committee, the Youth and Sport Ministry of Azerbaijan Republic. The President of the World Karate Federation, Antonio Espinosa, called him "Diamond of the Karate World." Rafael Aghayev won a gold medal in karate (kumite) competitions at the 4th Islamic Solidarity Games in Baku. He secured the gold medal thanks to a victory over Pakistani Ghulam Abbas in the 75kg division final. Irina Zaretska is also known for her numerous victories at the international area. She is the owner of the gold medal at the Premier League Karate1 2014 in Almere, bronze at "World Karate Cup 2014", gold at the Premier League Karate1 2015 in Istanbul, silver at the Premier League Karate1 2017, etc. Azerbaijani karate fighters showed their best at the 29th European Championship among cadets and juniors. Rafael Aghayev (60 kg) and Jeyhun Aghasiyev (65 kg) won gold medals among cadets for the first time. Rashad Huseynov (65 kg) grabbed bronze among juniors. --- Follow us on Twitter @AzerNewsAz
"$ATOM How can we minimize Scottie’s damage to the company? These upcoming investor events give me nightmares if this idiot has to go on stage again. Can Mears take over as the face of the company? We all know he’s the one driving all progress. Imbecile Scottie steps on his dick every 5 seconds and basically serves up the company to the shorts on a silver platter. His incompetence is infuriating. I’m staying long and feel good about long term but damn it sucks when the biggest impediment is your own ceo.
That is all, good luck longs, if we can tape up Scotties mouth for the next year we’ll do very well"

$1.3 billion valuation as non bank moves closer to IPO. Pepper Money , one of the biggest non bank lenders in Australia, has moved a step closer to their IPO, launching a float that seeks to raise $450m at $2.89 per share. The non bank lender would be valued at $1.3 billion by such a move. If it were to happen, it would represent the biggest Australian IPO of 2021 so far. The deal is backed by Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs and RBC Capital Markets. Pepper were previously listed on the ASX. Their IPO in 2015 saw them valued at $470m, which grew to $600m within a day of trading. It was removed from the stock market in 2017 after US-based investment firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts (KKR) bought it outright. Plans were released at the beginning of last year to return Pepper to the market with a $1 billion valuation, but they were put on hold by fluctuations in market conditions brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. As confidence returns and the home loan sector, which provides a substantial part of Pepper’s assets, remains booming, the time seems right for KKR to bring them back to market.

Unanswered points launch Vikings basketball to 90-61 win over Grizzlies. By Jonathan Andrade For the Signal Valencia High rattled off 22 unanswered points in the third quarter against Golden Valley Tuesday night at home to vault the Vikings to a 90-61 Foothill League victory. “We really got on them at the half and challenged them to come out and give some intensity,” said Bill Bedgood, Valencia’s head basketball coach. Valencia senior Noah Veluzat, who guided the Vikings (2-1 overall) with a triple-double of 25 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, said he and his teammates weren’t satisfied with a seven-point halftime lead after leading Golden Valley (0-3) by as many as 14 points in the first quarter. “One thing that’s great about our team is that we can all take criticism from each other,” said Veluzat, the reigning Foothill League player of the year. “We adapt and we do better. That’s just the adjustment we made at half time.” Valencia’s stingy defense held Golden Valley scoreless for the first six minutes of the second half. Grizzlies sophomore Jonathan Hakim finally stopped the bleeding with 1:16 left in the third quarter when he made a layup while drawing the foul, ultimately converting the three-point play. “I thought we got good shots in the third,” said Golden Valley head coach Chris Printz. “They just didn’t go. Sometimes that happens, especially on the road.” Golden Valley, which was powered by senior Luka Marich and his game-high 30 points, used a strong second quarter to draw within seven at the break. “We were moving the ball and playing good defense,” Marich said of his team’s performance in the first half. “They (Valencia) just hit shots in the second half and we couldn’t respond with our own.” Valencia senior Ryan Hoffman was hot from beyond the arc, nailing seven threes throughout his 25-point performance. Kai Davis, a sophomore who missed last season with an injury, chipped in 16 points. Freshman Zach Bauman sank a pair of threes late in the fourth quarter. Veluzat had high praise for Bauman. “He’s going to be a big-time player,” the senior said of the freshman. “He’ll be a Foothill League MVP by his junior year, and probably repeat (as a senior).” Printz said he was proud to see the Grizzlies continue to battle despite the late deficit. “Even at the end, they weren’t going to back down,” the coach said. “That’ll help build the foundation for success in the future…We can see the progress that’s been made already and where things are going. We’re proud of that.” Golden Valley will try to pick up its first win of the season at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Saugus. While Bedgood was pleased his team came away with the victory Tuesday night, he admits the Vikings have some room to grow if they plan on defending the Foothill crown. “It’s just a matter of our guys understanding that every day we’re either getting better or we’re getting worse,” the coach said. “If we continue to get better every day, I think we’re going to be right in the mix.” Valencia next plays host to Hart at 6:30 p.m. Friday.

IRW-News: OceanaGold Corp. : OceanaGold reports financial results for the first quarter of 2021. IRW-PRESS: OceanaGold Corp. : OceanaGold meldet Finanzergebnisse für das erste Quartal 2021 (Alle Finanzzahlen in US-Dollar, sofern nicht anders angegeben) (BRISBANE) OceanaGold Corporation (TSX: OGC) (ASX: OGC) (das "Unternehmen" - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/oceanagold-corp/) meldete seine Finanz- und Betriebsergebnisse für das Quartal zum 31. März 2021. Details des Konzernabschlusses und der Management Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") sind auf der Website des Unternehmens unter www.oceanagold.com verfügbar. Highlights - Konsolidierte Goldproduktion im ersten Quartal von 83.191 Unzen zu konsolidierten All-In Sustaining Costs ("AISC") von 1.229 $ pro Unze bei einem Verkauf von 82.847 Unzen Gold. - Sofort verfügbare Gesamtliquidität in Höhe von 195,5 Mio. US-Dollar, einschließlich 145,5 Mio. US-Dollar an Barmitteln und 50 Mio. US-Dollar an nicht in Anspruch genommenen Kreditlinien. - Umsatz im ersten Quartal von 148,9 Mio. US-Dollar mit einem bereinigten Gewinn vor Zinsen, Abschreibungen und Amortisationen ("EBITDA") von 66,5 Mio. US-Dollar; bereinigter Nettogewinn von 21,8 Mio. US-Dollar oder 0,03 US-Dollar pro Aktie. - Operativer Cashflow von 47,6 Mio. US-Dollar im ersten Quartal mit einem voll verwässerten Cashflow pro Aktie vor Betriebskapitalbewegungen von 0,09 US-Dollar pro Aktie. - Bekanntgabe einer Erhöhung der nachgewiesenen und wahrscheinlichen Goldreserven auf 0,75 Mio. Unzen und der gemessenen und angezeigten Ressourcen auf 0,66 Mio. Unzen; erste Reserven von 0,62 Mio. Unzen bei Martha Underground gemeldet. - Die organischen Wachstumsprojekte wurden vorangetrieben, einschließlich der Erschließung von 2.311 Metern bei Waihi's Martha Underground und der Fortschritte bei den Hauptzugangs- und Belüftungsstollen für Golden Point Underground bei Macraes. - Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2021 bekräftigt. Michael Holmes, President und CEO von OceanaGold, sagte: "Die Ergebnisse des ersten Quartals 2021 zeigen unsere Entschlossenheit, unsere Verpflichtungen zu erfüllen. Trotz der einmaligen Herausforderungen beim Mühlenbetrieb bei Haile und Macraes hat der Einfallsreichtum unserer Teams dafür gesorgt, dass wir die Erwartungen für das erste Quartal erfüllt haben, und wir sind weiterhin auf dem besten Weg, die Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2021 zu erreichen. In Haile hat der Betrieb im ersten Quartal eine Rekordzahl an Abbaubewegungen erzielt und Störungen im Mahlbetrieb schnell identifiziert, bewertet und behoben. Bei Macraes produzierte der Betrieb trotz des Ausfalls eines unserer Mühlenmotoren, der den Durchsatz verlangsamte, im Quartal knapp 35.000 Unzen Gold, und die Prognose für das Gesamtjahr bleibt unverändert." "Wir treiben unsere organische Wachstumspipeline mit drei neuen Untertageminen in den nächsten zwei Jahren in günstigen Jurisdiktionen weiter voran. In Neuseeland ist Martha Underground auf dem besten Weg, Ende des zweiten Quartals mit der kontinuierlichen Produktion zu beginnen und untermauert den größeren Waihi-Distrikt. Wir planen, bei Waihi noch jahrelang zu bohren und die bereits robuste Lebensdauer der Mine zu verlängern. Bei Macraes sind der Hauptzugang und die Belüftungsschächte für den Untertagebau Golden Point im Gange und das Projekt ist auf dem Weg zur ersten Produktion bis zum Jahresende. Bei Haile Underground werden die Vorbereitungen in Erwartung der Portalentwicklung im Laufe dieses Jahres fortgesetzt. "Wir sind weiterhin im Dialog mit den zuständigen Vertretern auf nationaler und lokaler Ebene über den Status der FTAA-Erneuerung von Didipio. Derzeit liegt die Erneuerung beim Ministerium für Umwelt und natürliche Ressourcen zur erneuten Bestätigung durch das Büro des Präsidenten. In der Zwischenzeit halten wir Didipio in einem Zustand der Betriebsbereitschaft und planen den Übergang zur vollen Produktion. Das COVID-19-Risiko ist auf den Philippinen und am Standort, wo im letzten Jahr neun Mitglieder unserer Belegschaft positiv auf das Virus getestet wurden, weiterhin erhöht. Anhaltende Risiken im Zusammenhang mit der Pandemie könnten den Zeitplan für die Rückkehr zum vollen Betrieb beeinflussen." "OceanaGold ist ein widerstandsfähiges und dynamisches Goldbergbauunternehmen mit einer starken und nachhaltigen Zukunft. Wir freuen uns auf die nächsten Jahre und die Gelegenheit, die wir haben, um durch internes Wachstum Werte zu schaffen. Unser unnachgiebiger Fokus auf die Erfüllung unserer Verpflichtungen, den Neustart von Didipio und das Vorantreiben des organischen Wachstums wird voraussichtlich langfristig Wert für die Aktionäre schaffen.

März 2021 endete, produzierte das Unternehmen 83.191 Unzen Gold, was einen Anstieg von 3 % gegenüber dem vorangegangenen März-Quartal und einen Rückgang von 16 % gegenüber dem Vorquartal darstellt. Der Anstieg der Produktion im Vergleich zum ersten Quartal 2020 spiegelt die stärkere Leistung von Haile wider, die teilweise durch die geringere Produktion der neuseeländischen Betriebe ausgeglichen wurde. Die geringere Produktion im Quartalsvergleich ist in erster Linie auf Neuseeland zurückzuführen, wo eine Mühlenstörung Macraes beeinträchtigte und Waihi wie geplant eine reduzierte Verarbeitungskampagne durchführte. Haile war ebenfalls rückläufig, wobei ein höherer durchschnittlicher Einsatzgrad durch einen geringeren Mühlendurchsatz ausgeglichen wurde. Didipio blieb in einem Zustand der Betriebsbereitschaft. Die steigenden konsolidierten Cash-Kosten in Höhe von 800 $ pro Unze und die All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC") in Höhe von 1.229 $ pro verkaufter Unze spiegeln die geringere Produktion und die im Vergleich zum Vorquartal höheren kapitalisierten Vorabstriche wider, insbesondere bei Macraes. Das Unternehmen verzeichnete im ersten Quartal einen Goldabsatz von 82.847 Unzen, was einem Rückgang von 14 % gegenüber dem vierten Quartal 2020 entspricht. In Haile produzierte der Betrieb im ersten Quartal 44.341 Unzen Gold, 51 % mehr als im vorangegangenen März-Quartal, was auf eine verbesserte Produktivität beim Abbau zurückzuführen ist. Die Goldproduktion und der Mühlendurchsatz waren im ersten Quartal um 10 % bzw. 20 % niedriger als im Vorquartal, was auf Probleme mit dem Fluss des gesättigten saprolitischen Erzes zur Anlage (die im Laufe des Quartals angegangen und behoben wurden) und einen geplanten dreitägigen Anlagenstillstand zurückzuführen ist. Gleichzeitig stiegen die gesamten Bergbaubewegungen um 24 % bzw. 7 % gegenüber dem vorangegangenen März-Quartal bzw. dem vierten Quartal 2020, und der Betrieb erreichte im Quartal einen Rekord an Gesamtbewegungen. Der Anstieg der Kosten für den Abbau und das Mahlen bei Haile im ersten Quartal spiegelt den geringeren Anlagendurchsatz, die Auswirkungen von einmaligen Kosten im Zusammenhang mit der Abschwächung von Anlagenstörungen durch gesättigtes Erz und in geringerem Maße den zusätzlichen Personalbestand zur Bewältigung der COVID-19-bedingten Abwesenheit der Belegschaft wider. Die bestätigten COVID-19-Fälle am Standort stiegen von 63 am Ende des Jahres 2020 auf 111 im ersten Quartal. Das Unternehmen geht weiterhin davon aus, dass Haile 150.000 bis 170.0000 Unzen Gold bei AISC des Standorts von 950 bis 1.100 $ pro verkaufter Unze produzieren wird, und weist darauf hin, dass der Ausblick durch zusätzliche Herausforderungen im Zusammenhang mit der COVID-19-Pandemie beeinträchtigt werden könnte. In Neuseeland produzierte Waihi im ersten Quartal 4.337 Unzen Gold. Die Aktivitäten bei Waihi konzentrierten sich in erster Linie auf die Erschließung von Martha Underground, einschließlich der Fertigstellung von 2.311 Metern Untertageerschließung im ersten Quartal. Darüber hinaus meldete das Unternehmen in Verbindung mit der abgeschlossenen Machbarkeitsstudie die erste Reserve von 620.000 Unzen Gold bei Martha Underground ("MUG"). Die Erschließung von MUG verläuft nach Plan, sodass die kontinuierliche Produktion im Juni nach dem Austausch der bestehenden SAG-Mühle von Waihi beginnen wird. Die Prognose für das Gesamtjahr 2021 bei Waihi bleibt unverändert. Die Produktion von Macraes ging im Quartalsvergleich um 19 % und im Vergleich zum vorangegangenen Quartal im März um 12 % zurück, was in erster Linie auf eine einmalige Unterbrechung des Mühlenbetriebs aufgrund eines Ausfalls des Mühlenmotors Anfang Februar zurückzuführen ist. Darüber hinaus erforderten außergewöhnlich starke Regenfälle im Januar eine zweiwöchige Evakuierung von Frasers Underground und verhinderten vorübergehend den Zugang zum Erzabbau in den Tagebauen; daher wurden die Abbauanstrengungen auf einen verstärkten Abbau von Abraum und Vorabbau im Tagebau Deepdell North gerichtet. Die höheren AISC im ersten Quartal spiegeln den geringeren Mühlendurchsatz und die erhöhten Investitionen in den Unterhalt und die Vorabbauaktivitäten wider. Die Gesamtjahresprognose für Macraes bleibt unverändert. Das Unternehmen geht davon aus, dass der Mühlenmotor im zweiten Quartal ersetzt wird, während gleichzeitig der Autoklav planmäßig neu gemauert wird. Didipio befindet sich weiterhin im Zustand der Betriebsbereitschaft. Im ersten Quartal gab es keine Produktion, da der Betrieb aufgrund der anhaltenden Blockade der Zufahrtsstraße eingestellt wurde. Das Unternehmen verbuchte 4,5 Mio. $ an Holdingkosten als Teil der konsolidierten Corporate General and Administration, die sich auf die Aufrechterhaltung von Didipio im Zustand der Betriebsbereitschaft beziehen. Dies steht im Vergleich zu $9,1 Mio. im vorherigen Quartal. Das Financial or Technical Assistance Agreement ("FTAA") muss derzeit noch vom philippinischen Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR") an das Office of the President rückbestätigt werden. Das Unternehmen ist nicht in der Lage, einen konkreten Zeitplan für den Abschluss der Erneuerung zu nennen. Die Ausbreitung und das effektive Management von COVID-19 auf den Philippinen kann ein Faktor für den Zeitplan für die Wiederaufnahme des normalen Betriebs sein, der bis zu 12 Monate dauern könnte. Seit März 2020 wurden in Didipio neun positive COVID-19-Fälle verwaltet, von denen vier im ersten Quartal 2021 auftraten. Finanzen In den drei Monaten, die am 31. März 2021 endeten, erwirtschaftete das Unternehmen einen Umsatz von 148,9 Mio. $ und ein bereinigtes EBITDA von 66,5 Mio. $, was 11 % bzw. 6 % unter dem des Vorquartals liegt, was auf geringere Goldverkäufe aus Neuseeland zurückzuführen ist. Im ersten Quartal stiegen der Umsatz und das bereinigte EBITDA um 8 % bzw. 34 % gegenüber dem vorangegangenen März-Quartal, was auf eine verbesserte Leistung von Haile und einen um 18 % höheren durchschnittlichen Goldpreis in diesem Zeitraum zurückzuführen ist. Der bereinigte Nettogewinn (ohne Didipio-Buchhaltungskosten) betrug im ersten Quartal 21,8 Mio. $ oder 0,03$ pro Aktie und profitierte von der Verbesserung des durchschnittlichen Goldpreises gegenüber dem Vorjahresquartal. Der operative Cashflow lag im ersten Quartal bei 47,6 Mio. $, ein Anstieg im Vergleich zum Vorquartal, der auf den stärkeren Goldpreis und niedrigere Buchhaltungskosten für Didipio zurückzuführen ist. Dies wurde teilweise durch Bewegungen des Betriebskapitals aufgrund einer Erhöhung der Lagerbestände bei Haile ausgeglichen. Der voll verwässerte Cashflow pro Aktie vor Working-Capital-Bewegungen betrug $0,09 pro Aktie. Der Investitions-Cashflow in Höhe von 71,9 Mio. $ im ersten Quartal erhöhte sich im Vergleich zum Vorquartal aufgrund höherer Investitionsausgaben bei Haile für die Erweiterung des Abfalllagers und der Vorabstreifungsaktivitäten bei Macraes sowie der laufenden Investitionen in die Erschließung des Martha Undergrounds bei Waihi. Zum 31. März 2021 belief sich der Bargeldbestand des Unternehmens auf 145,5 Mio. US-Dollar und 50,0 Mio. US-Dollar blieben im Rahmen der Kreditfazilität nicht in Anspruch genommen.

EU accuses Apple of breaking antitrust law over music streaming. London (CNN Business)European regulators have accused Apple Galloway: to oxygenate economy, break up Big Tech Margrethe Vestager, the European Commission's top antitrust official, said Friday that the bloc had reached the "preliminary conclusion" that Apple is in breach of competition law. The company's music service competes with streaming services "but Apple charges high commission fees on rivals in the App store and forbids them to inform of alternative subscription options," she said in a post on Twitter. "Consumers losing out," she added. The European Commission launched an investigation of Apple last June following a complaint from music and podcast giant ify (). The Commission said in a statement Friday that it "takes issue with" the mandatory use of Apple's in-app purchase system imposed on streaming services. It said it is "also concerned that Apple applies certain restrictions on app developers preventing them from informing iPhone and iPad users of alternative, cheaper purchasing possibilities." "By setting strict rules on the App store that disadvantage competing music streaming services, Apple deprives users of cheaper music streaming choices and distorts competition," Vestager said in the statement. ify CEO Daniel Ek praised the Commission, saying in a Twitter post that "fairness is the key to competition.' "We are one step closer to creating a level playing field, which is so important for the entire ecosystem of European developers," he added. The accusations are the latest development in a series of high profile battles between the European Union and Big Tech companies that have resulted in hefty penalties. Apple could eventually be fined up to 10% of its annual sales if found in violation of competition rules. Apple said in a statement on Friday that the "Commission's argument on ify's behalf is the opposite of fair competition." "At the core of this case is ify's demand they should be able to advertise alternative deals on their iOS app, a practice that no store in the world allows. Once again, they want all the benefits of the App Store but don't think they should have to pay anything for that," it added. Margrethe Vestager speaks during a press conference on artificial intelligence in April, 2021. Europe has turned itself into the cop on the Big Tech beat, repeatedly enforcing its rules and hitting the industry's top American companies with huge fines. The European Union last year unveiled formal antitrust charges against Amazon (AMZN) for abusing its dominance in online shopping. Google (GOOGL) has also been hit with a series of antitrust investigations and penalties. Last year, Apple won an appeal against a landmark 2016 ruling from the European Commission that it owed Ireland €13 billion ($14.9 billion) in taxes. The European Union's second highest court ruled that the Commission had not proven that the company had received illegal state aid from Ireland through favorable tax agreements. Vestager has appealed the decision. — Hadas Gold contributed to this article.
Inside Paul Simon’s Catalog Sale: At $250 Million, It’s One Of Music’s Biggest. Paul Simon’s song catalog sold for approximately $250 million last month, according to sources familiar with the transaction, making it one of the largest music publishing deals of the past two years. Simon sold hundreds of compositions including “The Sound of Silence” and “You Can Call Me Al” to Sony/ATV last month for an undisclosed sum. The sale follows a string of cash-outs by ageing songwriters including Neil Young, Stevie Nicks and Bob Dylan, who are motivated by the threat of rising capital gains taxes and a desire to get their catalogs in the hands of managers that can oversee them for the future. A spokesperson for Sony/ATV declined to comment on the terms of the deal. Representatives for Simon did not return requests for comment. Simon’s output spans seven decades and has produced numerous hits and 16 Grammy Awards, including three Album of the Year awards for Bridge over Troubled Water , Still Crazy After All These Years and Graceland . He released 14 solo albums, including chart-toppers like Rhythm Of the Saints and even served as the sole songwriter, with very few exceptions, for Simon and Garfunkel. Both stars recorded for Sony’s Columbia Records and were two of the label’s top stars going back to the 1960s. The label will continue to own the master recordings for both. Unlike those recordings, which are typically owned by the labels that produce and distribute them, the copyrights of song compositions default to the songwriters, who often share those rights with a publishing company. Those rights earn money in a number of ways. In addition to royalties from streaming and radio plays, rights holders collect money from public usage of songs in locations ranging from football stadiums to local dive bars. They also can earn seven-figure sums for use in commercials, television and film. Simon also has not shied away from monetizing his music, including providing the soundtrack for the 1967 film The Graduate , which would go on to gross nearly $105 million in North America, or more than $800 million when accounting for inflation. Recently, “Homeward Bound” was featured in an ad for real estate firm Coldwell Banker, while "The Sound of Silence" provided the soundtrack for a Volkswagen spot. That kind of steady, diversified stream of income has made publishing catalogs attractive to investors looking for low-risk alternatives to bonds while interest rates remain rock-bottom. For classic artists, the increased interest in catalogs has become a goldmine and Simon, like Dylan, held fast to his songwriting credits over the years and almost always wrote alone. The pair of music legends could not have picked a better time to cash out, as investors like KKR, Round Hill Music and Hipgnosis duke it out with traditional labels like Sony, Universal and Warner Music Group for top artists’ songbooks. That battle has pushed up multiples for top-tier catalogs from about 9 times the amount of annual royalties a decade ago to triple that today. Dylan, Young and Nicks all sold their catalogues last year for 25-28 times annual revenue, while sources say Simon sold for almost 30 times annual revenue, as Sony sought to avoid the loss of another top songwriter, after Dylan snubbed the company by selling his catalog to Universal Music Group’s publishing company in December. The 79-year-old Simon still commands a solid chunk of music streams, with music from his solo career and Simon and Garfukel getting nearly 18 million monthly listeners on Spotify, compared with 10 million for Dylan and more than 30 million for current pop stars like Beyoncé and Harry Styles. His last tour, in 2018, grossed more than $31 million, according to data from Pollstar.

It turns out the 100 million euro digital bond issued by the European Investment Bank earlier this week was actually a trial of a European central bank-issued digital currency, or CBDC.An April 28 announcement from France’s central bank, Banque de France, revealed the digital bond was settled using a CBDC on a blockchain.The two year-bond was issued on the Ethereum public blockchain on April 27 and settled the following day, with a maturity date of April 28, 2023. The sale was led by Goldman Sachs, Santander and Société Générale.“From a technological standpoint, the experiment required the development and deployment of smart contracts under secured conditions, so that the Banque de France could issue and control the circulation of CBDC tokens and so that CBDC transfer occurred simultaneously with the delivery of securities tokens to the investors’ portfolio,” Banque de France said.The bank also revealed plans for further experiments in the future, noting that its efforts are part a push to provide evidence of use cases for a European CBDC: “In the coming months and in cooperation with the market, the Banque de France will conduct additional experimentations to assess other uses of central bank digital currency in interbank settlements.”The news that the EIB had issued the bond on Ethereum pumped the Ether (ETH) price to $2,709 on Wednesday. Danny Kim, head of revenue at crypto broker SFOX told Reuters the announcement “triggered a bullish institutional use case for Ethereum.”Despite the bullishness on Ethereum, the wait for a digital euro may still take some time, as the European Central Bank did not participate in the pilot.In January this year, President of the European Central Bank Christine Lagarde said that the development of a digital euro is "going to take a good chunk of time to make sure it's safe," adding, "I would hope that it's no more than five years.”On April 12, ConsenSys South Africa lead Monica Singer warned that Europe may be left behind if its too slow to pull the trigger:“If the central bank in Europe is gonna wait until 2028, by then there won’t be a central bank. Because who’s gonna use the euro in its current form? There are gonna be so many choices.”

Re: Bitcoin or Gold?. If you are talking about a long-term investment (20 years, 30 years) with less risk, GOLD is the best choice but if you wanted to earn more and with also have an absolute risk, it gonna be Bitcoin. Well, I don't think that people would able to wait for 20 years just to see their portfolio will grow. Because as what I observe in these new generation, almost all of them are in the hurry I don't know why but they are impatient. But for me, I have to choice both of them for a better assurance, it was just like putting an eggs to 2 baskets.

[US Stock Trends] Netflix Wins Seven Awards at Academy. Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) won more awards than any other production company at the 93rd Academy Awards on the 25th, from an article posted on April 26, 2021 by Motolie Fool US Headquarters. We have won a total of seven Oscars, almost the same number as the combined number of all the awards received. In addition, Walt Disney, who won the second most awards, received five awards. Netflix has been nominated for 36 categories in 17 films, more than any other production company. Since receiving its first award in 2013, Netflix has won eight Academy Awards, for a total of 15 awards. "Mank" and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" were particularly talked about and won two awards each. Nominated in 10 categories, "Mank" won a Best Cinematography and an Art Award. "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" won the Hair & Makeup Award and the Costume Design Award. "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" was thought to be won by the late Chadwick Boseman as the leading actor, but by Anthony Hopkins. Chadwick Boseman has won the Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild, and Critics' Choice Award for Best Performance. The Netflix Oscar award is a notable event for investors. The company has long argued that content quality is the number one attraction for subscribers, and that's the key to Netflix's success. This claim has been proven to be correct over the years, producing 208 million subscribers. After a significant growth in customer numbers during the pandemic, the reaction has resulted in first-quarter subscribers of 4 million, well below the expected 6 million. However, the company's quest for content quality, which is also seen in Oscar awards, will continue to increase the number of subscribers. [US Stock Trends] Should Netflix Buy $ 5 Billion Shares Now?

Yet when delegates make their selection from five candidates at this weekend’s state convention, it will help determine the future of their party and its influence on Utah politics, said Derek Brown, the state GOP’s outgoing chairman, who announced last month he wouldn’t be seeking another term to spend more time with his family. “Anyone who is paying attention to the trends and to the numbers who is a Republican should be very concerned,” Brown told the Deseret News in an interview this week. “The demographic and geographic trends are not boding well for Republicans — both nationally and here in the state of Utah.”Rewind to the year 2000, when George W. Bush beat Al Gore for president. That year, the entire western U.S. voted red except for Oregon, California, Washington and purple New Mexico — though New Mexico tipped blue on a fraction of a percentage point. Since then, “one by one we’ve had states surrounding Utah that have flipped blue,” Brown said. New Mexico, though it voted red in 2004, flipped Democratic in 2008 for former President Barack Obama, and has since stayed blue. Other purple states like Colorado and Nevada have faded blue. Then Arizona, a state that has voted red since 2000, made the flip last year, when the state turned blue for President Joe Biden. “That is a Democratic shift in the western U.S. that does not bode well for Republicans, and we have not done a good job nationally of (addressing it),” Brown said, describing the difficulties Republicans have had engaging millennial voters and unifying around their platform. Outgoing Utah GOP chairman Derek Brown looks over county signs at the party’s headquarters in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, April 28, 2021. Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News Nate Silver, the editor-in-chief of FiveThirtyEight who is a well-known predictor of political elections, last year said “people underrate the chance that Utah could become a swing state in another couple of cycles.” In 2017, Silver told the Deseret News he’s fascinated by Utah because it looks and breathes like a blue state, even though it’s traditionally red. He said Utah “increasingly has the markers of a blue state, meaning high education levels, big tech sector, young population. So you can kind of envision a world in eight years, 12 years, 16 years in which Utah behaves more like Colorado or something, right?” “And this was before COVID,” Brown said. Add in the pandemic, which Brown said has put these concerning trends for Republicans on “steroids” because of the number of people moving from other states like New York or California and “flooding” Utah. “The people coming here ... that may help our economy, but it will definitely have an impact on the political landscape,” Brown said. So while the Utah GOP for decades has “had the luxury of a super majority,” Brown said assuming that “luxury” will last forever could spell trouble for Utah Republicans. “The luxury of a super majority can also allow a party to be sloppy and unfocused and still win elections,” Brown said. “My concern is we may not have that luxury in the next five to 10 years. And whether that is the case has everything to do with the party remaining strong and funded.” Brown said he saw it happen in Arizona last year, where he said a “weak and fractured party focused on infighting” lost in a crucial presidential year and lost a Republican seat in the U.S. Senate. “My concern is whenever a party becomes weak and unfunded and unfocused and allows itself to engage in infighting, the day follows the night. The party will begin to lose elections,” he said. “And we (in Utah) have not done that in the last few years. We have reversed that trend. But as a party we need to remain vigilant — or else we will go the way of our surrounding states.” Outgoing Utah GOP chairman Derek Brown looks over old caucus signs that weren’t used due to COVID-19 at the party’s headquarters in Salt Lake City on Wednesday, April 28, 2021. Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News Utah’s GOP Before Brown was elected in May 2019, the Utah GOP was plagued by inner turmoil: divided into camps by years of infighting over the controversial election law SB54 and in debt, owing more than $137,000. “They couldn’t pay their bills,” Brown said. “They had just lost a number of races including a congressional seat, and the fundraising was abysmal.” In 2018, former Rep. Ben McAdams beat former Rep. Mia Love and became the first Democrat to win a congressional seat in Utah since 2012. “Fast forward two years,” Brown said. “We pulled the party out of debt within a month or two. ... The party is unified in a way that it hasn’t been, notwithstanding the challenges we’ve faced. We’ve raised over $1 million. And we’ve won almost every election we’ve set out to win, including the seat in Congress that we lost.” Rep. Burgess Owens last year defeated McAdams and took back Utah’s 4th Congressional District seat for Republicans. Now, the Utah GOP must continue in the “positive direction” Brown said. Who emerges during the weekend convention to become chairperson, vice chairman, secretary and treasurer will set the future course. Who will lead? “The most important thing for a party is to support the candidates and support the brand and have an organization that is well funded and organizationally sound,” Brown said. “For me, this election is about are we going to continue to move that direction, or are we going to major in minor things? Sometimes I think political parties can focus on internal squabbles that don’t necessarily help them win elections.” Brown said he needed to remain “neutral” ahead of Saturday’s convention, so he didn’t have any endorsements or anti-endorsements for the candidates vying to take his place. But Brown did list some characteristics he believes the Utah GOP’s chairperson needs to have, including the basic ability to raise funds effectively, the ability to understand how elections are managed and won — while also having the temperament and ability to unite Utah’s Republicans rather than divide. Unity and civility is a style of politics employed by Gov. Spencer Cox — who successfully won his election last year and has seen upward trending approval ratings. It’s also a style that’s the opposite of the leader national and the majority of Utah Republicans coalesced around in 2016 and 2020 — former President Donald Trump. Trump’s divisive and polarizing style ultimately fell short on the national level in November last year. In Utah, division and polarization is not a style that’s typically successful — and not one that Brown said will position Utah’s GOP for success. “Someone who is a unifier and someone who cannot just recognize that you have people all over the political spectrum in one party, but someone who actually reaches out to all of them to bring them together is the best way forward,” Brown said. “I think someone who is divisive and focused on their own personal agenda, not only will they not unify the party, but they will force anyone who differs with them from the party. “And for a state like Utah that may trend blue,” Brown said, “that’s exactly the opposite of what we need to do.” The candidates Five candidates are running to succeed Brown, and they range in backgrounds and demographics. A look at who they are provides a picture of the GOP in Utah. There’s Tina Cannon, a former Morgan County GOP chairwoman and Morgan County councilwoman who would be the first woman to lead Utah’s GOP. There’s Stewart Peay, current chairman of the Utah County Republican Party who’s been endorsed by Gov. Spencer Cox and Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson, among other legislative leaders. There’s Brad Baker, who at 22 is likely the youngest state party candidate in Utah’s party’s history. There’s Carson Jorgensen, a 31-year-old sheep rancher with a passion for agriculture and public lands. And there’s Scott Miller, former Salt Lake County GOP chairman who resigned amid controversy last month, but for which he has since rescinded his apology, defending himself by saying he’d been “Kavanaughed.” Scott Miller Miller, who lives in Riverton and was chairman of the Salt Lake County GOP for more than three years, made headlines last month after he was accused by multiple women within the Salt Lake County GOP for allowing “bullying” to occur within the party. Scott Miller Scott Miller While his four opponents agreed to phone interviews with the Deseret News this week for this story, Miller did not accept multiple requests for an interview and only answered questions via email. After initially calling the women accusers “sore losers who failed to win their respective races” in an email last month that preempted the first media report of the accusations, Miller later resigned and apologized, saying he “made a mistake with how I handled” the complaints. Since then, Miller’s backtracked. In an email sent to the Deseret News on Tuesday, Miller said he had withdrawn his apology. “I stand by my actions,” he wrote “Throughout the campaign, I immediately addressed any and all issues and complaints and I have documentation and witnesses to prove it. I never heard several of the complaints until it was presented in the press.” Miller also wrote he’s been “Kavanaughed,” comparing himself to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, the federal judge who was accused of sexual assault from the ’80s during his 2018 confirmation hearings. “I believe certain women and others strategically timed salatious (sic) allegations against me to derail my campaign for state chair,” he wrote. “Many Utah Republicans seem to believe in ‘guilt by accusation’ and seem intent to deny due process to the accused. This is very disturbing.” He added: “I believe we have an obligation to investigate,” Miller wrote. “We need to get to the bottom of this issue. Let’s have due process, a fair investigation, and let the public see the facts.” Miller argues he’s the right person to lead Utah’s GOP, saying under his leadership the Salt Lake County GOP “successfully turned the Salt Lake County Council from purple to red.” He wrote he’ll keep Utah from turning purple by seeking to “expand the Republican tent. We expanded the tent in Salt Lake County. We recruited and encouraged good candidates,” saying those candidates included women, and people from diverse backgrounds. “We helped elect a greek, a doctor, and Congressman Burgess Owens, an African American.” Tina Cannon Cannon, 53, has 20 years of experience within the Utah Republican Party. She served as chairwoman for the Morgan County GOP, as well as a state convention committee member and a state convention credentials chairwoman. She was twice elected as a Morgan County councilwoman. She ran a bid last year to represent Utah’s 1st Congressional District, but faltered in the Republican convention. Tina Cannon Tina Cannon If it’s a strong organizational structure and fundraising backbone the Utah GOP needs, Cannon argues she’s the “only candidate in this race” that has that fundraising experience, pointing to her congressional run. It wasn’t until after Brown announced he was stepping down and she started getting phone calls from supporters that Cannon said she’d considered running to replace him. And then when the Salt Lake County GOP/Miller controversy hit headlines, and she said her “phone blew up.” “I was having a lot of friends in the party, particularly male friends, who were very concerned about the message this was sending and felt like it was time for another perspective,” she said. There are “very few women in Republican politics in Utah,” Cannon said, and “we each have our stories.” But she said that story did not represent the “majority of men” in Utah’s GOP, noting she’s had “incredible mentors, supporters and donors.” But she worried that story wasn’t being told “and that’s sad to me.” “Because when women see this, it discourages them from running,” she said. “Politics is hard. Politics is a blood sport. And women don’t run for the same reasons that men do. Women run to do something. Men run to be something.” So, Cannon said she decided to “step into this chaos” — a decision she made 45 minutes before the filing deadline on April 1 — in order to “encourage good women to run.” When other women don’t see other women “who are strong enough, qualified, and win, they don’t run,” she said. “This is a difficult thing,” Cannon added, “because I don’t want to run as a woman. I’m not running because I‘m a woman. I’m the best candidate. ... I have by far the most experience and the best background.” Running as the only female candidate isn’t a message that will resonate with Utah GOP delegates, she said. “It’s about being well qualified.” At the same time, increased diversity is what the Utah Republican party needs as it looks to the future, Cannon said. “We need to have a diversity of voices at the table because we are losing that demographic at the Republican Party.” Stewart Peay Peay, 47, a lawyer who lives in Alpine, was elected as chairman of the Utah County GOP in April 2019. By day, Peay works as a partner at Snell & Wilmer, where he’s worked for 18 years. He also served in the Utah National Guard for 13 years, including a tour in Iraq. Stewart Peay Stewart Peay In his two years as Utah County GOP chairman, Peay said he spent that time “unifying Utah County Republicans, which is no small task.” When he first came to the post, Peay said the county Republicans couldn’t get along to make decisions at the executive committee level, and he attributed that as a big reason why Love lost to McAdams in 2018. Last year, Peay said the Utah County GOP energized more voters and helped push Owens to victory. “One of the key things I did in Utah County is listen to everybody,” Peay said. “I encourage all parties to bring forward their positions, then as a leadership group we figure out a resolution that works for our party. It’s not perfect for everyone, but it’s great for the party, and that’s what we need.” The emerging blue sea around Utah in the West, the changing political landscape and the threat it poses to Republicans’ future in Utah is “why I’m running” for the statewide party chairperson position. During the past two years, Peay credited Miller for “getting the party back on track, and I feel like we need to stay on that track if we’re going to defend our traditional Republican values and strongholds here in Utah.” As Utah’s population changes and as more people move in from states like California, Peay said the Utah Republican Party needs to “control its message.” “We need to explain there is so much great economic opportunity here in Utah because for 40 years the Utah Republican Party has dominated state and local politics,” Peay said. “We need to educate people about that and help them understand that if we keep Utah Republican, those same opportunities will still be here for our children and even our grandchildren.” Cox, Henderson, legislative leaders including House Speaker Brad Wilson and Senate President Stuart Adams, and others endorsed Peay in a letter circulated to delegates, mailed using the Utah Republican Party’s indicia — a service that’s offered to all Utah GOP candidates for cheaper postage. Peay said those endorsements show he knows how to “build a team.” “And that’s what we plan to do,” he said, along with his vice chairperson running mate Austin Cox. He says he plans to do that with a unifying style. “The role of state party leadership is to build a bigger tent. It’s not to divide. It’s not to offend. Rather, it’s to build a team and to get that team to coalesce around the ideas and values of the Republican Party.” Carson Jorgensen Jorgensen, 31, of Mount Pleasant in Sanpete County, is a sixth-generation sheep rancher in a family that’s lived in Utah for more than 150 years, he said. His family businesses are Skyline Sheep Co., as well as Skyline Bit and Spur, a small business that ships horse bridles and silver. Carson Jorgensen Carson Jorgensen His family’s heritage, Jorgensen said, tells the story of “why this race is important to me.” “We rely heavily on public lands,” he said, describing how the sheep industry helped build Utah’s infrastructure. So that’s why he’s getting involved in politics, he said. “Unfortunately, politics shapes a lot of these things,” he said. “Politics is getting increasingly militant around agriculture, and if we don’t start taking a key role in policy, agriculture is going to be one that is going to lose out big time, especially here in Utah where 75% of the state is federal land and most of it is used for agriculture.” Jorgensen pointed to Biden’s “30 by 30” climate change policy and said “it’s going to drastically affect the agriculture sector here in Utah and it’s going to ruin the legacy of my family.” So, Jorgensen said he wants to get involved to save the future of agriculture and public lands in Utah. “I don’t want to see the history of Utahns thrown under the bus for progressive policy,” he said. It’s not the first time Jorgensen has stepped into politics. Last year, he sent a letter to then-Vice President Mike Pence, members of Congress and others detailing the impacts to sheep ranching of the acquisition of a Colorado lamb processing facility, which led to an investigation. Jorgensen also ran an unsuccessful bid against Rep. Chris Stewart last year. On his campaign website, Jorgensen discusses “expanding the tent” in Utah’s GOP, in order to attract new voters, especially young voters. He also prioritizes strengthening rural Utah, including wildfire mitigation, outdoor recreation, water quality, food supply chain and more to “bridge the urban and rural divide.” Jorgensen also states Utah’s GOP must “tackle the issue” of SB54 and strengthen the party’s convention system. Brad Baker Baker, 22, a Weber State University student who lives in Sunset, said one of the biggest reasons why he’s decided to get involved is because he’s sick of the “mudslinging, backstabbing” that’s gone on at the national level. “I firmly believe that’s not what being a Republican is about,” Baker said. “I would argue it’s something that both sides are guilty of, and as such the biggest thing we need as a party but as the state of Utah as a whole is more unity and more hope for the future.” Baker acknowledges that he does not have as much political experience as his opponents, but he argued he’s the “best equipped candidate” to make the party more appealing to younger voters and therefore secure the party’s future. “We also need to have more voices in the room from a wider variety of backgrounds, a wider variety of life experiences because how goes the Republican Party, so goes the state of Utah,” he said. “By voting for me, the delegates would get a candidate who is emphasizing unity, emphasizing greater diversity in encouraging people to run who might not otherwise.” Baker said he would expand the party’s accessibility by modernizing the party’s tactics through use of social media and technology, make sure caucus nights are better advertised so younger Utahns would know how to get involved, and consider moving caucus night to the weekend to help make it more accessible to those who work during the week.

Chocolate cookies with scarlet fruit by Nigel Slater Cakes and baking. Nigel’s soft and fudgy cookies are delicious paired with a handful of summer fruit. Print recipe Ingredients Method Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Snap the chocolate into pieces in a small heatproof glass bowl. Place the bowl over a small pan of simmering water, with the base of the bowl not quite touching the water. Allow the chocolate to melt. Don't be tempted to stir it, other than to occasionally push any unmelted chocolate down into the liquid chocolate to encourage it to melt. Turn off the heat as soon as the chocolate has melted. Cream the butter and sugar together in a food processor until smooth and creamy. Break the eggs and vanilla extract in a small bowl or jug, whisk just enough to break up the eggs, then add the mixture gradually to the butter and sugar, beating constantly. It is worth scraping down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula from time to time to ensure a thorough mixing. Add the melted chocolate and continue to mix. Toast the hazelnuts in a shallow pan until golden, shaking regularly so they colour evenly. Grind the nuts coarsely using a pestle and mortar to the texture of gravel, then remove half and continue grinding the other half until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the flour and both textures of nut to the cookie mixture. Stop beating as soon as everything is combined. Place large, heaped tablespoons of the mixture on to a baking tray lined with baking parchment. You should get twelve large biscuits. The mixture is fine to sit for a few minutes if you are cooking them in two batches. Don't be tempted to flatten the cookies, they will do so in the oven anyway. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes. The cookies will have spread and be very soft to the touch. Remove them from the oven and set aside to cool a little. As soon as they are cool enough to move without breaking, slide a palette knife underneath and carefully lift them onto a cooling rack. Serve with a handful of cherries and raspberries.

We are Gold Champions
Gold Forecast: Hovering Between Moving Averages. Pay close attention to the rate of change in the yield of bonds, because if it is a slow and gradual rise, then I believe that gold should do fairly well. Gold markets initially tried to rally during the course of the trading session on Thursday but failed to continue going higher at the 200 day EMA as it continues to be quite resistive. At this point, the market then felt to reach down below the 50 day EMA, which of course was a very negative sign. However, by the end of the session we turned around to break above the 50 day EMA and now it looks like the market is essentially doing the same thing it has been doing for several days. These are two major averages that a lot of people pay attention to, so it should not be overly surprising that we are stuck in this general vicinity. Furthermore, you have to pay close attention to the US dollar, because the gold market is highly influenced by it. Now that that we have broken down below the 50 day EMA, it looks like the market is finding value hunters underneath just above the $1750 level. I think what we are looking at here is a market that is trying to figure out where we are getting ready to go longer term. When you look at the charts you can see that we have formed a double bottom just below the $1700 level, so I think if we break down below the $1750 level, then we will go testing that area. However, the $1750 level above had been resisted previously, broken out above, and now has been retested. At this point, we have to question whether or not this attempt to form a basing pattern has started to stick? A break above the $1800 level opens up the possibility of a much bigger move, and therefore I think that is the key for buying this market. Until then, I would be hesitant to put a lot of money into the gold market, but it certainly looks as if we are trying to turn things around. It could be very noisy over the next couple of weeks, but I do have my eye on this market as a confirmation of the return could very well send this market looking towards the highs again. Pay close attention to the rate of change in the yield of bonds, because if it is a slow and gradual rise, then I believe that gold should do fairly well.

Many departments have made heavy blows to crack down on the transmission of movie pirates in theaters. The cultural industry is booming, and it is difficult to hide its light under the haze of the epidemic. The total box office of the Spring Festival stalls in 2021 will exceed 7.8 billion yuan, setting a new box office record for the Spring Festival stalls in China. Among them, the box office of "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Detective Chinatown 3" rushed to 5.4 billion and 4.5 billion yuan respectively, and currently ranks second and fifth in China's total box office. Behind the impressive achievements are the dedication of relevant law enforcement agencies in cracking down on piracy and their hard work in impartial law enforcement. While we are enjoying the excellent content quality, sophisticated production level, and fascinating plot in the movie theater, a thunder action aimed at regulating the copyright order of the film market is underway. This is the centralized action against the spread of movie pirates in theaters jointly deployed by the Copyright Administration of the Central Propaganda Department, the Film Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department, and the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security. During the concentrated operation from February to March, the local copyright and film authorities focused their inspections on the screening and dissemination of 7 Spring Festival movie theaters, dispatched more than 36,500 law enforcement officers, and inspected 11,800 theaters and on-demand theaters. , Inspected 2,682 websites. This action was fruitful and effectively curbed the spread of movie pirated recordings in theaters. Actions to protect copyright and encourage creation continue. What is certain is that the prosperous and healthy development of the film industry can be expected in the future. Investigating and handling many major cases. The Spring Festival file this year was unexpectedly good-high-quality content aggregated delivery, innovative and flexible marketing methods, and the pre-sale stage was the first to win. "Hello, Li Huanying", "Detective Chinatown 3", "Assassination of Novelists", "Samurai Order", "Surge of Crowds", "New God List: Nezha Rebirth", "Bear Infested Wild Continent", these 7 films are competing The box office "main track" shines on the road. Rao Shuguang, president of the Chinese Film Critics Society, commented that the Spring Festival films have improved and made breakthroughs in genre and aesthetic expression, demonstrating the strong resilience and vitality of the Chinese film market. Good content brings good word of mouth. While attracting audiences to enter the theater, Spring Festival movies are also targeted by criminals. When the Spring Festival movie continued to be popular, some netizens discovered that pirated resources had appeared on the Internet. Such problems have also been monitored by the regulatory authorities, and many cases have subsequently surfaced. For example, in the case of “February 19” pirating and disseminating cinematic movies during the Spring Festival in Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, according to the monitoring clues of the Copyright Administration of the Central Propaganda Department, the Food and Drug Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, and the Film Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department, the police of Jinhua City, Zhejiang The agency, together with the copyright department, successfully solved the case, arrested 19 criminal suspects, seized pirated versions of "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Chinatown Detective 3" and many other cinema-line movies during the Spring Festival, and eliminated the main source of cinema pirates and seized them. There are 17 criminal equipment, realizing the full-chain crackdown on offline recording and online dissemination. According to investigations, since December 2020, the suspect Zhou and Mao have repeatedly pirated cinema-line movies in theaters in Zhengzhou, Anyang, Henan Province and other places. After video editing, they made high-definition pirated movies for their own business. Movie bars play for profit, and sell them through WeChat, cloud disk, etc., and then resell them through the Internet layer by layer when they are offline, or build websites to spread illegally. In another case, in order to attract and maintain customers, the micro-business Chen XX pirated the Spring Festival cinema movies such as "The Crowd" and "Assassination of Novelists" in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in cooperation with Zhou. Chen XX uploaded the pirated videos to Internet disk, and send the Internet disk link to his WeChat friends, triggering network transmission. According to the monitoring clues of the Copyright Administration of the Central Propaganda Department and the Film Bureau of the Central Propaganda Department, the copyright department of Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province investigated the case. In March this year, the Public Security Bureau of Yibin City, Sichuan Province resolved the case based on clues handed over by the Municipal Press and Publication Bureau, arrested 18 suspects, and seized a large number of pirated CDs and USB flash drives, involving "Hello, Li Huanying" and "Detective Chinatown 3" "The Crowd", "The Order of the God of Servant" and many other cinema movies and other films and music works during the Spring Festival. After investigation, since 2011, Zhu and others have purchased a large number of U disks, CDs, and SD cards that store infringing audio-visual products from criminals in Guangdong and other places, copied them and sold them to the outside world. Still in March, the Public Security Bureau of Dengzhou City, Henan Province successfully solved the case based on clues discovered by the Mopai, arrested 31 suspects, seized 29 servers and playback devices (sets), including "Hello, Li Huanying" and other Spring Festival files Many movie works including theater movies. After investigation, Zhai and others established an on-demand theater company to obtain pirated movie resources from the Internet, import their theater-on-demand system into a basic movie library, play in the on-demand movie theaters they operate, and sell their basic movie library to multi-location movie theaters. Behind the early warning and rapid handling of many typical cases is the result of the joint deployment of multiple departments to carry out centralized operations to combat the transmission of movie pirates in theaters, and the adoption of a variety of effective measures to severely crack down on illegal and criminal activities in the transmission of movie pirates in theaters during the Spring Festival. Early warning protection for film copyrights was deployed before the Spring Festival. On February 8, the National Copyright Administration released the second batch of key works copyright protection early warning list for 2021, and included 7 Chinese New Year movie theaters including "Hello, Li Huanying" into the early warning protection, requiring the provision of content, storage, search links, and electricity. Various network service providers such as commercial websites and application stores have taken effective measures to prevent and deal with infringement and piracy such as pirated recordings and transmission of cinema movies in a timely manner. At the same time, local copyright and film authorities have strengthened the management of movie theaters, strictly guarded against secret photography and recording, and increased network inspections and piracy monitoring. According to Tang Zhaozhi, the person in charge of the Copyright Administration of the Central Propaganda Department, during the concentrated operation, the local copyright and film authorities focused their inspections on the screening and dissemination of 7 Spring Festival movie theaters, and dispatched more than 36,500 law enforcement personnel to inspect theaters and on-demand. There were 11,800 theaters and other places, and 2,682 website inspections. "Monitoring results show that there is no phenomenon of infringement and piracy of movies on the Spring Festival file on regular video websites. Pirated content and links are mostly spread illegally through social platforms, online disks, e-commerce platforms, and undocumented small websites of the'Three Nothings', and most of them The server of the "Three Nothing" website is located outside the country." Tang Zhaozhi said. Fast handling of infringement is also an important part of copyright protection. According to Tang Zhaozhi, the local copyright and film authorities have arranged multiple shifts and multiple lines to respond, carefully screening and systematically sorting out the complaints of rights holders and the information reported by the masses, and supervising all network service providers to take emergency measures to quickly delete the archives related to the Spring Festival. There are more than 30,000 infringing links to online movies. Including the aforementioned cases, local copyright and film authorities and public security organs investigate and handle major cases. Strengthen clue finding, actively expand the source of the case, investigate and lock a number of suspects who were photographed and pirated, and the public security organs will launch criminal investigations, pursue criminal responsibility for criminals in accordance with the law, and promote the investigation and handling of cases to trace the source, destroy gangs, and destroy the Internet. It is understood that, at present, 39 key cases involving movie infringement and piracy have been investigated and dealt with in various places, and 45 infringing websites have been closed, effectively curbing the momentum of the spread of movie piracy in movie theaters. The efforts to dig and protect excellent IP to combat piracy will continue to increase. Tang Zhaozhi revealed that in the next step, local law enforcement agencies will dig deeper into the source of piracy, increase efforts to crack down on sneak shots and pirated recordings in theaters, severely investigate and punish websites, WeChat public accounts, and e-commerce operators that sell and disseminate pirated films, and urge all online platforms to strengthen their corporate bodies. Responsibilities and severe penalties for pirating and disseminating cinema-line movies that have strong opinions and great social harm to the rights holders, create a good social atmosphere that respects copyright and creation, and promotes the prosperity and healthy development of the film industry. It is worth noting that the recent protection of the copyright of film works is also reflected in the move to increase the crackdown on infringements in the field of short videos. Yu Cike, director of the Copyright Administration of the Central Propaganda Department, said that this year the National Copyright Administration will continue to intensify its crackdown on infringements in the field of short videos, and resolutely rectify short video platforms and unauthorized copying and performances by producers and operators of self-media and public accounts. , Spread the infringement of other people's films, music and other works. Promote short video platforms, self-media, and public account operators to fully perform their main responsibilities, effectively strengthen the construction of the copyright system, improve the copyright complaint handling mechanism, and effectively perform the obligation of reporting on illegal and criminal clues and cooperating in investigations.

Until recently, Tang Jiahua even kicked off the next Chief Executive election to be held in March next year, with a bang fired his rifle. When interviewed by Internet media, he publicly expressed his support for Lam Cheng’s re-election, praising her as "the most open chief executive for so many chief executives."

Recovery hopes drive shares, US Treasury yields. World share indices extended gains and Treasury yields rose on Thursday, after strong U.S. economic data and the Federal Reserve's commitment to continue supporting the economy fueled confidence in a recovery.U.S. economic growth accelerated in the first quarter, fueled by massive government aid to households and businesses, charting the course for what is expected will be the strongest annual performance in nearly four decades."Assuming that COVID variants remain contained, the second quarter is set for a further acceleration in growth as the re-openings continue," said Katherine Judge, senior economist at CIBC Capital Markets.New York City aims to "fully reopen" on July 1 after more than a year of closures and capacity restrictions, Mayor Bill de Blasio said.MSCI's gauge of stocks across the globe gained 0.33%, closing at an all-time high and remaining on course for its best month since November.The S&P 500 also closed at a record high. The Nasdaq Composite hit a record intraday high before paring some gains.The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 239.98 points, or 0.71%, to 34,060.36, the S&P 500 gained 28.29 points, or 0.68%, to 4,211.47 and the Nasdaq Composite added 31.52 points, or 0.22%, to 14,082.55.Benchmark 10-year Treasury notes last fell 4/32 in price to yield 1.6343%, from 1.62% late on Wednesday."The economy is going to run hot these next couple of months and the bond market sell-off will return and could make Treasury yields attempt to test the end of March highs," said Edward Moya, senior market analyst at OANDA in New York.The dollar stayed just off nine-week lows as the Fed's dovish outlook and bold spending plans from the White House furthered expectations that inflation will rise.The dollar index rose 0.085%, with the euro up 0.03% to $1.2127.Fed Chair Jerome Powell said on Wednesday that "it is not time yet" to begin discussing any change in policy after the U.S. central bank left interest rates and its bond-buying program unchanged, despite taking a more optimistic view of the country's economic recovery.Later on Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden proposed a sweeping new $1.8 trillion spending plan in a speech to a joint session of Congress.The Fed's stance, strong U.S. corporate earnings and the notion that Biden is going big on infrastructure were all supportive for markets, said François Savary, chief investment officer at Swiss wealth manager Prime Partners."The Fed confirmed the roadmap for any change in policy, which is a reassuring factor," he said. "It looks like tapering won't materialize until 2022 and that has induced weakness for the dollar, is supportive of market liquidity and means less pressure on emerging markets."MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan closed 0.14% higher, while Japan's Nikkei rose 0.21%.European stocks ended lower as a rise in euro zone bond yields caused investors to lock in profits at near-record levels.The pan-European STOXX 600 index fell 0.3% to 438.77, coming further off a record peak of 443.61 hit last week.Oil prices were on track to hit six-week highs as strong U.S. economic data, a weak dollar and an expected recovery in demand outweighed concerns about rising output and the impact of higher COVID-19 cases in Brazil and India.U.S. crude futures settled at $65.01 per barrel, up 1.8%.

Mongrel Mob members' lives taking a new direction by working with social housing provider. Two Mongrel Mob gang members are now working with a social housing provider to change the lives of prisoners once they are released. Your playlist will load after this ad They say those released don’t have the necessary services they need for reintegration back into society. Source: 1 NEWS They say those released don't have the necessary services they need to be reintegrated back into society. Former armed offenders squad police officer Damian White has seen Karl Goldsbury at his worst. Behind bars for a decade, Goldsbury is familiar with being on the wrong side of the law. Now, two years out of prison, he's turning things around with the support of people like White. "I just wanted to be a better father, a husband, I knew my roles then because I learned what a good father looked like,” he says. The patched Mongrel Mob members are working for Te Tuinga Whānau services - an organisation that's helped hundreds of vulnerable families and now plans to support gang members nearing the end of their sentence. "It'll work because just like we want Māori to look after Māori by Māori in the housing, homeless sector,” says Tommy Wilson of Te Tuinga Whānau services. The project, Freedom For Whānau, will target influential members of any gang, only if they're willing to change and they won't rip them away from the patch. "You can't take someone away from what they've always known all their life, it'll be like someone taking you off your parents because at the end of the day one of our bros is not going to listen to somebody else,” Goldsbury says. Freedom For Whānau would look to start with five homes, one prisoner and their family in each house. While there they’d be provided with wrap around support services and after 12 weeks would transition into their own home. They've already been into prisons to talk about the kaupapa and in the Bay of Plenty the collaboration between gang members and police is seeing huge results. "All it takes now is a phone call to have some tension lessened and it is a true partnership, aspirationally these guys want the same thing as what we want for our families - they want better outcomes in education, housing and employment," White says.

Gold-standard' swab tests will cost holidaymakers just £45 each. Holidaymakers will be able to get a Covid test for just £45 under government plans to make holidays abroad more affordable when international travel opens up. The PCR tests, which are required on entry by most European countries, would be provided for a fraction of the current price if the government's plan goes ahead, the transport secretary said. 'Gold standard' PCR swab tests will continue to be required for all travellers arriving in Britain, despite the Prime Minister previously suggesting that rapid lateral flow tests could be considered for use. The news of cheaper tests for holidaymakers comes three weeks after Boris Johnson asked officials to consider using the on-the-spot rapid tests to make the tests more affordable, stating that the reopening the holiday market from May 17 was a 'priority'. Grant Shapps, the transport secretary, announced the news on Thursday that 'a new entrant' had made it possible to supply PCR tests for £44.40. Currently anyone coming to the UK has to take a pre-flight test and buy a two-swab package to be used two and eight days after arrival. Official packages use gold-standard PCR technology and cost around £200 a head, this is due to fall to £45 by May 17 when some international travel is set to resume. Shapps told the Commons: 'I know that the House is interested on the update with regard to travel returning internationally and I wanted to provide a very quick update to say that although PCR tests may be required from a medical, scientific point of view, we have been working with private laboratories, pharmacies, supermarkets and other companies to encourage them to deliver on their logistical expertise and enter the market and drive down the cost. 'We've seen some success so far because the cost of a single PCR day two test now has come down to £60 from one of the large providers on the government-linked site, with a new entrant now at £44.90, enabling more people to access PCR tests as international travel returns.' The drop in price brings hope to the millions of Britons desperate for a foreign holiday after months of lockdown. In other good news British tourists will be welcome in France from June 9 as long as they have proof of vaccination or a negative test. The announcement by president Emmanuel Macron comes as a study finds much of Europe could safely be put on the travel 'green list' this summer. The list could include up to 24 countries, The Times reports. Mr Macron's announcement will pile further pressure on ministers to restart foreign holidays to major hotspots for sun-starved Britons. Under France's reopening, restrictions on cafes and restaurants will be lifted gradually with a return to near-normal by June 30. The Yale University research showed restarting quarantine-free travel to popular destinations such as Spain, Portugal and Greece would not increase infection rates. And hospitalisations would only increase by about six a day if travel was restarted with up to 31 European countries. There are currently around 124 daily hospitalisations in England. Johan Lundgren, boss of easyJet which commissioned the study, said: 'Based on the results of this ground-breaking research, and applying the principles set out in the roadmap set out by the Prime Minister, easyJet can demonstrate that it is safe to put much of Europe on the green list. 'This is because the analysis not only shows that travel from several European countries, including popular holiday destinations like Spain, Portugal and Greece, would not affect the UK case rate. 'But even more importantly, that travel to and from Europe would have very little impact on hospitalisations in the UK.' He stressed that countries with worrying new variants should remain subject to strict measures such as quarantine. The study is due to be submitted for peer review shortly. Countries' ratings as green, amber and red will be set out by May 10.

Westminster redecorating could paint Johnson into a corner. The writer, a former head of the Downing Street policy unit, is a Harvard senior fellowBritish politics currently resembles a whodunnit, with Westminster consumed by one question: who paid to redecorate the prime minister’s Downing Street flat? Boris Johnson will not be brought down by wallpaper-gate: voters didn’t foot the bill, and are looking forward to the summer, thanks to his swift vaccine rollout. But if the impression keeps growing that Britain is run by a gilded chumocracy, it could prove toxic at the next election.It may seem odd that a domestic makeover has achieved such prominence. It’s partly because it is the latest in a series of allegations, including that ministers offered Covid contracts to friends and helped a Tory donor win a lucrative planning permission. In the early stages of the pandemic, it was understandable that urgency sometimes trumped due diligence, but there is now a feeling that too many affairs of state are being treated with casual informality. The Electoral Commission seems to believe that the prime minister may have broken the law. Although Johnson insists he has settled the £58,000 bill for the flat, he has not denied that it was originally paid for by the Conservative party, through a loan or donation, neither of which were declared. The dramatic cast of characters makes it impossible to kill the story. The poisonous Rasputin Dominic Cummings, ousted as chief of staff, is preparing a dossier of wounding information for a parliamentary committee. Ben Elliot, the Duchess of Cornwall’s nephew, was party co-chairman when a gift of £15,000 to the party from businessman Lord Brownlow was declared to the Electoral Commission; a second gift of £58,000 was not. Meanwhile the first fiancée, Carrie Symonds, whose choice of gold wallpaper supposedly sent the prime minister into paroxysms, has been dubbed Carrie Antoinette.The most damaging aspect may prove to be not the cover-up, but the snub to a national treasure, the John Lewis department store. Tatler magazine quoted unnamed friends of Symonds complaining that Johnson’s predecessor Theresa May had created a “John Lewis furniture nightmare”. The commissioning of “eco-designer” Lulu Lytle, whose colourful prints fill grand houses from Barbados to Park Avenue, feels like an extravagance which is especially jarring, given Symonds’ supposed environmentalism. Lytle may lace her curtains with seaweed, but there’s nothing “eco” about chucking out a two-year old sofa. The taxpayer will not be footing the bill — unlike the grants given to Johnson’s girlfriend Jennifer Arcuri when he was mayor of London, or the huge sums spent on test and trace. The problem is that it seems to cast the prime minister in a new light, as a man who cares about appearances, rather than the messy-haired rogue we thought we knew. Central to Boris Johnson’s charm is that he has always looked a shambles, lived off pizza, ridden rickety bikes, enjoyed a good boogie on the dance floor, and not given a damn. He has always worried about money, but mainly to support his children from official and unofficial dalliances. His mistakes and lack of pretension have made him human, in an age of robotic politicians.To diss John Lewis, however, is to attack an institution which has served Middle England from cradle to grave. Many of us got our school uniforms there, we had our wedding lists there, and we still buy presents for granny there, knowing she can always return them with no fuss. Its genius is to be faintly upmarket but not flashy: as voters might once have seen Boris. British prime ministers are unusual in having to live above the shop in pretty modest circumstances. Most opt for the four-bedroom flat above Number 11 Downing Street, and let their chancellor use the smaller one above Number 10. When you work in the building, you get used to bumping into the country’s leaders on the back stairs, and seeing their children playing in the garden. The Elysée Palace or the White House it ain’t — I used to take my turn with the policemen for the only shower-room — but it supports our belief that we are a sober nation of principle. At Chequers, the prime minister’s country house, I was once told approvingly by staff that Gordon Brown was so parsimonious that he had refused to light the log fires. There is actually a strong argument for the state to do more to maintain these official buildings. But it was cack-handed to have tried to create a Downing Street Trust to fund improvements which might in turn have saved Johnson from having to cough up. Next week’s local elections will show whether the public has noticed any of this. I suspect they won’t. Johnson has a strong poll lead and a large majority. The risk is that the drip-drip of sleaze allegations will slowly corrode this government just as it doomed John Major’s in the 1990s, when a minister was jailed for perjury, and some MPs took “cash for questions”. It felt then as though the Tories had been in power too long. Could “cash for curtains” create a similar ennui?John Lewis’s legendary slogan is “never knowingly undersold”. I would add: never knowingly underestimate Boris Johnson. But if he doesn’t come clean, and if this wasn’t the only loan, this may prove to have been the moment he painted himself into a corner.

COVID-19 vaccination take-up rate among seniors good but more can be done, say experts. SINGAPORE: The take-up rate of COVID-19 vaccination among seniors is acceptable, or even good, but more can be done to boost numbers, infectious diseases experts said. Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary said earlier this month that about 60 per cent of eligible seniors aged 70 and above have received the COVID-19 vaccination or booked their vaccination appointments, while the corresponding proportion for eligible seniors aged 60 to 69 is close to 70 per cent. Infectious diseases experts said that the proportion is good, especially in comparison to the take-up rate of the influenza vaccination, which they said is the most comparable to the COVID-19 vaccination. “I think it’s an acceptable figure. If you look at the influenza vaccination, which has been promoted annually, we don’t even achieve 15 to 20 per cent, so this is actually very good,” said infectious diseases specialist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital Dr Leong Hoe Nam. When asked if the better take-up for the COVID-19 vaccination is because it is potentially fatal, he said that the flu can also be fatal, taking the lives of 200 out of every 100,000 people aged 70 and above annually in Singapore. Influenza can trigger heart attack and stroke, he explained. READ: COVID-19 vaccination for seniors aged 70 and above begins in Singapore Professor Paul Tambyah, president of the Asia Pacific Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection, said that the take-up rate among seniors is “really good”. “Flu is also known to be fatal in elderly people. In fact, it's probably comparable fatality rate (with COVID-19), especially among the very old,” he said. However, experts said there is a need for more seniors to be vaccinated. "We want vaccine uptake to be as high as possible," said Dr Hannah Clapham, Assistant Professor at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. There are two reasons for wanting a high level of vaccination - so that people are protected from COVID-19 and to boost population immunity. “For the senior group, the first reason is very important as if people in this group become infected, they have a high risk of severe disease,” she said. READ: COVID-19 vaccination for people aged 60 to 69 brought forward, invitations to go out in 'next few days': MOH People should get vaccinated so that “as a whole, as a country, we can boost our population-based immunity and as a result of that, we may be able to inch towards normalcy”, said Dr Ling Li Min, an infectious diseases physician at Rophi Clinic. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO ENCOURAGE SENIORS Such health and community benefits are among the explanations Silver Generation Office (SGO) volunteer Vesuvasam Perianar gives to seniors when he goes door to door to engage them. SGO, the outreach arm of the Agency for Integrated Care, has been engaging seniors since February this year with the help of about 3,000 volunteers. “Our main job is to ask them if they have received the letters. If they have and have not made the appointment we will ask them why they have not made the appointment,” the 66-year-old told CNA. If seniors indicate that they need help in booking a slot, Mr Perianar will help them on the spot. “In most cases, they will say ‘my children will help, but they haven’t had time, they will do it in a short while, maybe a few days later’,” he said. Others may be waiting for their next medical appointment in a month or two with their regular doctors to make sure that the vaccination is safe for them, he added. Information on their plans to register for a slot goes into a report he has to create at the end of these sessions, Mr Perianar said. Based on the report, a volunteer - not necessarily him - will then go back to the home to get an update on the status of the booking. Mr Perianar does these engagements with a partner four times a week for about two hours each time. READ: Government plans to invite people below the age of 45 to book COVID-19 vaccination slots from June SGO also arranges transport for seniors who are not able to get to a vaccination centre on their own, he said. Mr Perianar said that while the majority of the seniors he approaches would say that they would be booking an appointment, or need help doing so, about 20 per cent of them would be sceptical or distrustful of the vaccination regime. To convince seniors, he tells them that they may not be able to travel overseas, even for religious pilgrimage, without the vaccination. He also uses himself as an example of someone who has had the vaccination. He said: “Sometimes after we speak for a while … they will be more open. They will say ‘ok lah, I’ll consider lah’.” Still, some of them are “very adverse”, calling the regime a “government gimmick” and refusing to accept a leaflet containing more information, he said. He said that some of them bring up negative news about vaccination and have fears of overdosing, or deaths that they misunderstand that have happened because of the vaccination. BARRIERS TO VACCINATION Dr Leong said individuals have different reasons for not wanting to get the vaccination. “There are many elderly people whom I have spoken to who say: ‘I’m not afraid of COVID-19. In fact if I die, so be it. I’m not afraid of dying’,” he said. Barriers to seniors getting vaccinated could include mobility, logistics and understanding of the vaccination, said Dr Ling. “They (seniors) may at times listen to their friends more than what is on the mainstream media. Sometimes, older folks, they could have more inertia to get themselves vaccinated,” she said. Some of them may not feel the need to get the vaccination especially if community numbers are low and they don’t go out so much, she added. Dr Clarence Tam, Assistant Professor at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, said that findings from a survey he recently conducted with his team suggest that many people are taking a wait-and-see approach. “They are unsure if the benefits of vaccination outweigh the potential risks of side effects, particularly given that the risk of contracting COVID-19 is currently low,” said Dr Tam. The survey, which has not been published, was conducted online earlier this month among 1,000 Singapore residents aged 21 and above. Findings were similar among seniors and other groups, he added. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO IMPROVE TAKE-UP AMONG SENIORS When asked what would make them more willing to get vaccinated, respondents commonly mentioned personal recommendations from healthcare professionals, family, employers, friends and the Government, said Dr Tam. For a third of respondents, a strong motivator would be the relaxation of social distancing rules if many people are vaccinated, he added. Seeing positive stories on social media from people who had been vaccinated would also make them willing, Dr Tam said. In contrast, people would be put off vaccination if a family member had a bad reaction to the vaccine, if friends or family advised against vaccination or if they saw content on social media advising against vaccination, he said. “Positive reinforcement and prompts from a broad range of trusted sources will be needed to encourage undecided individuals to get vaccinated,” he said, adding that healthcare professionals have an important role to play, particularly in allaying worries about side effects. Dr Leong, who said that Singapore should increase the proportion of vaccinated seniors by 10 per cent, said that videos of elderly public figures getting vaccinated could help. The narrative used to convince the elderly should revolve around helping their families, he said. “It could be someone saying ‘I am a grandmother, I am 70 years old, I am getting myself vaccinated because of my grandchildren’,” he said. Another way is to regularly organise trips to vaccination centres for seniors, ferrying five seniors at a go. “What we have to do is literally take the mountain to Muhammad,” he said. However, Dr Leong said that he expects many seniors who have not been vaccinated to be immobile and that they may not account for much in overall herd immunity. “Individuals who are mobile, interacting in public areas are more important in the calculation of herd immunity. These individuals tend to be more well-informed, a bit on the younger side of 70 and they would be interacting with their peers,” he said.

"I am not 100% sure I am correct but here is what I think is quite probable to happen in the near future.
Starting from the middle of Summer, the levels of the vaccine-induced antibodies will become very low for all those people who got their second mRNA vaccine shot in December, January, and February. We will probably hear more and more reports about already vaccinated people getting covid-19 and these will probably be not only the mild cases.
The reason for that is that mRNA vaccines rely mostly on neutralizing antibodies to achieve protection against the virus. Because the levels of antibodies, in absence of an active infection, go down very quickly, the result is that these vaccines give relatively good protection but only for a short period of time.
The situation looks completely different in the case of INO-4800. Inovio's vaccine generates a balanced immune response which provides both high levels (not a very high level) of antibodies as well a high level of T-Cells. It is a well-known fact that it is the T-Cells that actually provide long-lasting protection.
If I am right, we should see a new push (from the most famous American doctor who may not not even have a valid doctor's license anymore) to give the ""booster"" shots to the arms of all those people that already got their two previous shots.
All in all, there is a chanve it is going to be a total mess. The third mRNA shot will probably have even more side effects and it will probably only extend the protection for another ~6 months.
If all of this looks like a disaster for the patients it is actually a god-send golden goose for the BP.
Remember, BP wants to have you as a customer for as long as they only can, so short-lasting vaccine protection combined with the raging pandemic is all they could dream of.
I only wish someone at the top of the government is bright enough to understand a rich nation like the USA should not rely on just one unproven vaccine technology and instead should have multiple layers of backup plans which should include DNA vaccines and *all* other viable options too."

First observation | These words of the general secretary are not just to say one time and one place. In the past few days, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited Guangxi and gave important instructions on the construction of ecological civilization along the way. Many golden sentences have been brushed off the screen. At almost the same time, the Central Ecological Environmental Protection Inspectorate in eight provinces and autonomous regions notified many typical cases of destroying the ecological environment. It is thought-provoking to link these two things together. On the Lijiang River, General Secretary Xi Jinping listened to a report on the comprehensive management of the river basin. In recent years, Guilin City has vigorously promoted the Lijiang River to "control chaos, water, mountains, and root causes" to improve the ecological environment of the Lijiang River. Xinhua News Agency reporter Shen Hongshe general secretary emphasized, “The worst thing is quarrying. If you destroy a mountain, you will lose such a mountain forever. The whole of China and the world is such a treasure. Don’t destroy it.” Central Ecological Environment Among the typical cases just exposed by the protection inspection team, there are several cases of illegal quarrying and mining. In some places, illegal quarrying is still carried out in the World Geopark Reserve, which has caused serious ecological damage. This time, the general secretary pointed out the quarrying problem straightforwardly, which is very realistic for some places. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, whether it is for domestic investigations and investigations or attending international events, wherever General Secretary Xi Jinping goes, he has talked about the concept that green waters and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains. However, some phenomena that seriously damage the ecology and seriously pollute the environment are still exposed from time to time. What is the problem behind this? Some local leading cadres believe that the region has a good ecological background, large environmental capacity, a little sewage, a little tree cut, and a little project "innocent", and they lack understanding of the urgency of ecological environmental protection. The concept of "emphasizing development and neglecting protection" of some local leading cadres has not been fundamentally reversed, and the phenomenon that ecological environmental protection is "important when it comes to it, but secondary when it is done" still occurs from time to time. There are also historical reasons that some local leading cadres "should the pot", and the ability and level of governance to implement the new development concept still needs to be improved. "Any abuse of mining and digging requires not only accountability, but also criminal responsibility in accordance with the law." Regarding the chaos of quarrying, the general secretary's words were very serious, and once again sounded the alarm for the ecological and environmental protection of various places. In fact, this is also the consistent attitude of the Party Central Committee towards ecological and environmental issues. The illegal construction of villas in Qinling Mountains destroys the ecological environment. General Secretary Xi Jinping has issued important instructions 6 times to solve the problems personally; local ecological damage in the Qilian Mountains, pollution incident in the Tengger Desert, illegal filling of the Qiandao Lake... Grasp the problem of destruction to the end. There is a phenomenon that is particularly noteworthy. In the past few days, the Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Inspection Team has exposed many typical cases of blindly expanding production capacity and launching projects regardless of resource endowments-Shanxi Jinzhong City has not approved the first construction and launched five large-scale coking projects in violation of regulations. Enterprises illegally discharged pollutants and competed with the people for water, causing difficulties for nearby residents. The construction of chemical and coal power projects in Guzhen County, Anhui illegally started construction, and the bottom line of regional environmental quality has been repeatedly breached, posing a threat to the water ecological environment of the Huaihe River... In the first year of the Fourth Five-Year Plan, after experiencing the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and facing the external environment of headwinds and currents, the enthusiasm for development projects in some places began to swell, and they wanted to pursue a "good start." The Central Ecological and Environmental Protection Supervisor is approved by the Party Central Committee. At the beginning of the "14th Five-Year Plan", this inspection was organized, and the strict control of high energy-consuming and high-emission projects was blindly launched as one of the inspection priorities, which was very targeted. Coincidentally, 5 years ago, the "13th Five-Year Plan" started. Before that, in 2015, China's economic growth continued to slow down, falling below 7%. Some provinces and cities along the Yangtze River are gearing up for projects in the 13th Five-Year Plan. On January 5, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping convened a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Chongqing, and he eloquently proposed “to protect together, and not to develop”. "It seems to be a pot of cold water." This symposium promptly cooled the development impulse of the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, and it was a reversal of the direction of economic development. In the past five years, the General Secretary hosted three symposiums around the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to consolidate the path of ecological priority and green development. Practice has proved that the joint efforts to protect the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River not only did not affect the development speed of the provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, but also greatly enhanced the supporting and leading role of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in supporting the high-quality development of the country. Looking at the first year in five years, getting started is critical. The "14th Five-Year Plan" is a critical period and window period for carbon peaks. Once the “two highs” project blindly launched, it will not only damage the current ecological environment, but also pose a severe challenge to the future carbon dioxide emission reduction and the achievement of carbon peak and carbon neutral commitments. It is very necessary to press down on such signs from the beginning. Combining this background, and looking at the words of the General Secretary during this Guangxi inspection, we can bring out more profound meaning-"adhere to the correct ecological concept and development concept"; "maintain the authenticity and integrity of the landscape ecology as an important "Work"; "Incorporate carbon peaking and carbon neutrality into the overall layout of economic and social development and ecological civilization construction"; "Promote a comprehensive green transformation of economic and social development"; "Come on a path of high-quality development that conforms to local realities"... This It was spoken to Guangxi, and it was spoken to the whole country. A good start, a good start. The alarm bells must be ringing forever in all places, and the trend of destroying the ecological environment in exchange for economic development at a time, insisting on ecological priority and promoting high-quality development can create a high-quality and happy life for the people.

As America reckons with racism, Kamala Harris puts her identity as the first Black VP front and center. Something went wrong. Please try again later. Something went wrong. Please try again later. Shagara Bradshaw wasn’t expecting anything out of the ordinary last month when she dropped into a vaccination site in Jacksonville, Florida, for her second COVID-19 shot. Bradshaw hadn’t heard that Vice President Kamala Harris was visiting the tented facility to encourage people to get vaccinated. But when she was pulled out of the registration line to meet Harris, Bradshaw knew how she wanted to introduce herself. “Good afternoon, soror,” Bradshaw, 38, said to her delighted fellow Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority sister and fellow graduate of a historically Black university. As Navy troops wearing military fatigues prepared doses, Bradshaw and Harris chatted about being a role model by getting vaccinated and about Bradshaw’s job at a Jacksonville school where she is teacher of the year – an honor that was the until she met Harris. “I felt like I was speaking to someone that understood me,” Bradshaw said. “She knows what it’s like, the struggles of African American women, what we have to go through.” Identity front and center Harris, the first woman – and first woman of color – to hold the second-highest national office, has embraced that identity at a time when the country is facing a racial reckoning – and when race remains a deeply sensitive and politically volatile issue. As Democrats applaud the spotlight that Harris and others in the administration have put on equity, Republicans accuse the administration of deepening the racial divide by ignoring gains in the fight against racism. “Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country,” South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott, the only African American Republican in the Senate, said in the GOP’s response to President Joe Biden’s joint address to Congress Wednesday. Harris, the next morning, responded that she does not believe America is a racist country. “But we also do have to speak truth about racism in this country, and its existence today,” Harris said on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Harris' willingness to dive right into the topic is evident in a USA TODAY review of her public schedule, which shows how much she has emphasized issues important to people of color, and to women, in her first 100 days. Other than administering the oath of office to fellow Cabinet members or interacting with foreign leaders, most of the more than 40 other solo activities on her public schedule through late April have had at least some connection to her identity and those who share it. Harris traveled to the majority minority cities of Oakland, California, to discuss “water equity”; New Haven, Connecticut, to talk about child poverty and education, and Greensboro, North Carolina, to talk about jobs – and to sit at the former Woolworth’s lunch counter where a peaceful sit-in became a defining moment in the civil rights movement. While emphasizing the need to "speak truth" even if it “may make folks uncomfortable,” Harris has met with Black mayors, members of local Black Chambers of Commerce, leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus, women’s leadership groups, female labor leaders and faith leaders from minority communities. “The truth is,” she told the House Democratic Caucus in March, “inequity has become the norm.” 'You are strong': Vice President Kamala Harris has a message for American women In the Washington, D.C., area, Harris visited a women-owned knitting store (where one of the yarn colors was named after her), a vaccination site in an African American neighborhood and a Veterans Affairs hospital where she delivered Valentine’s Day treats to about two dozen workers of color. She lauded the work of Black women in science during a visit to the National Institutes of Health where she met Dr. Kizzy Corbett, who worked on the Moderna vaccine. “For people to know that a Black woman helped develop the Moderna vaccine, and for the vice president, who is a Black woman, to highlight the work of Black women in science, that's critical," said Duchess Harris, professor of political science and American studies at Macalester College in Saint Paul. On International Women’s Day , Harris was on hand when Biden praised the promotion of two female generals to four-star commands. She recounted roles women have played in defending the nation, including transporting sensitive military information through enemy territory during the American Revolution and disguising themselves as men to fight in the Civil War. Even a virtual visit with the prime minister of Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day emphasized the familiar theme. The two leaders celebrated the first group of Ireland-bound Frederick Douglass Global Fellows, participants of a summer study abroad program for students of color. “Together, may we build on the legacies of Frederick Douglass … and all of those who have fought for freedom,” Harris said after showing off the sculpture of the abolitionist displayed in her office that’s on loan from her alma mater, Howard University, a historically Black university. 'My VP looks like me’ Many Americans who haven’t felt fully represented in Washington have been thrilled to see themselves and their experiences reflected through Harris, akin to how a young Black boy wanted to touch President Barack Obama’s hair to find out if it felt like his. “My VP looks like me!!” read the chalkboard held up by 6-year-old Maya Cedor when Harris went to Connecticut. During Harris’ Jacksonville visit , a 9-year-old Black girl waved a sign painted in pink and purple letters that read “Girls can change the world.” Obama, however, found he paid a price in 2009 when answered a question about the arrest in Cambridge, Massachusetts, of Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Black Harvard professor. The arrest occurred at Gates' own home after police responded to the report of a possible break-in as Gates was trying to force his door open. After Obama criticized Cambridge police for acting "stupidly," he saw a huge drop in support from white voters. "It was support that I'd never completely get back," he wrote in his memoir. Niambi Carter, associate professor of political science at Howard University in Washington, said Obama didn't have "the space or the room" to address his identity the way that Harris does just a decade later. Ange-Marie Hancock Alfaro, a political science professor at the University of Southern California who is helping to organize a scholarly convention on Harris, dismissed the risk that Harris could become too narrowly defined. “I don't think that she would be pigeon holed so much as I think that there's a calculation being made that a certain part of the population will never agree that structural racism exists,’’ she said. 'Mandate from the base’ Aimee Allison, head of the advocacy group She the People, which pushed Biden to choose a woman of color as his running mate, said Harris and Biden have a “mandate from the base” to directly address racial, economic and gender issues. “It’s demonstrated she is proof positive that who she is, and her experience, makes her more qualified, not less, makes her more able to speak to America and lead America, not less,” Allison said. After a record number of women ran for – and failed to win – the 2020 presidential nomination, Biden committed to picking a woman as his running mate. He faced tremendous pressure to choose a woman of color because of the large role African Americans – and particularly Black women – have played in the Democratic Party and because of the racial issues thrust into the foreground through the coronavirus pandemic and the deaths of Black Americans at the hands of police. Partnering with Biden Biden seems to make a point of having her by his side at public events like bill signings as well as private meetings, including his daily security briefings and updates on the pandemic. The significant amount of time she’s spent with Biden so far is important not only for developing their relationship, said vice presidential scholar Joel Goldstein. It also “credentializes” her. “The fact that she’s in the room makes her important to everybody else,” he said. Harris has had more than 120 joint public or private events with Biden, compared with more than 80 solo activities, according to a USA TODAY review of the daily schedules released by the White House and announcements of calls with foreign leaders through April 28. (The publicly released schedules include only a fraction of the president’s and vice president’s activities.) “She’s not been a VP that you don’t see or hear from,’’ said Melanie Campbell, convener of the Black Women's Roundtable. Harris addressed the group at its virtual conference last month. "Whether we’re in the room or not, we know she’s in the room,” Campbell said. Biden speaks out too While most of Harris’ solo events – outside of swearing-in Cabinet officials or talking with foreign leaders – have had a connection to her identity, Biden hasn’t relegated the equity issue to Harris. He’s vowed to “make equity and justice part of what we do every day.” And when Biden speaks on the issue, as he did when former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murdering George Floyd, his words naturally carry more import. But, as president, Biden’s task is also to try to appeal to everyone, regardless of color, race and ethnic origin, said Nina Rees, who was a domestic policy aide to former Vice President Dick Cheney. And it’s smart to put Harris forward when the issues of diversity, inclusion and equity have played such a large role in the public conversation. “The right messages matters,” Rees said, “but having the right messenger matters just as much.” 'Picking up that mantle' Outlining Harris’ early activities, a senior White House official said Harris raised in every meeting about the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package the particular problems faced by women workers who have lost jobs at higher rates and had to leave the workforce to care for children. Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, said Harris is “really picking up that mantle” on gender wage gaps, healthcare disparities and childcare concerns “in a way that I just don't think would happen in the same way, or have the same resonance or the same impact, if there weren't a woman and a woman of color in that position.” The day after Chauvin was convicted of murdering Floyd, Harris and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker ducked into the vice president’s office just off the Senate floor to strategize advancing the police reform bill they’d introduced after Floyd’s death last year when Harris was in the Senate. “We had a good talk about not just the urgency of the bill, but she had some really practical thoughts,’’ Booker said, noting Harris’ experience as California’s attorney general. 'Do they see themselves?' Another early priority was the Paycheck Protection Program , federal loans to help businesses survive the pandemic that the new administration believed were not getting to those most in need, including the smallest businesses and those in rural or minority communities. Harris got on the phone with bank CEOs, according to an administration official, but wanted to make business owners themselves aware that things had changed. That’s why Harris met with members of the Black Chamber of Commerce and with people like Wendy Garcia, an Arizona woman who came to the United States from Mexico when she was 17 and now has her own restaurant. In fact, all of the small business owners she met with on one of her first days in office were either women, people of color, or both. Harris tells her aides to think about the fact that when someone looks at a wedding album of a friend, they’re most interested in the photos in which they appear. “And that’s how we’re thinking about the American people,” said Rohini Kosoglu, Harris’ chief domestic policy adviser. “When they see these plans, do they see themselves in the plan?” Tackling migration Harris’ most high profile – and potentially trickiest – assignment is working with Mexico and the Northern Triangle countries to try to stem the flow of migrants to the U.S. border. The administration has struggled to handle the record number of unaccompanied children crossing the border as Biden tries to deliver on a promise of creating a more humane and equitable system for immigrants and refugees. Republicans have hammered Harris for not going to the southern border, bringing to a recent news conference a milk carton with her picture on the side along with the words “missing at the border.” Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the No. 2 House Republican, said Harris "needs to go down to the border and see this for herself." When Harris traveled to New Hampshire last week, a protestor held up a sign with an arrow and the directions: "Mexico – 2,254 mi." Harris and her team have emphasized that she is working on the root causes, and not the symptoms, of the problem. “It is something that is going to require diplomatic work,” Harris said this month, a few days after announcing she will travel to Mexico and Guatemala. She met virtually Monday with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei and plans to talk soon with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. High rewards and high risks The University of Southern California’s Hancock Alfaro said the assignment could have high rewards and risks. It raises Harris’ foreign policy profile and Biden will be grateful if she comes up with solutions. But it also puts her “right square in the middle of one of our country’s most controversial subjects.” California Rep. Barbara Lee, who is working on the issue with Harris through a House subcommittee Lee chairs that funds international activities, said Harris brings to the task the perspective of being the daughter of immigrants from India and Jamaica. “It’s not going to be easy, but she’s going to do it,” Lee said. “Have you ever had a Black woman and South Asian woman deal with it?” Michael Feldman, who was a senior adviser to former Vice President Al Gore, said Harris should welcome such a meaty task with both international and domestic consequences. “Guess what?” he said. “You’re not an effective vice president if you’re not willing to take on the tough problems.” Fact check: Claims that VP Kamala Harris refused to salute the military are missing context Future presidential bid? Speculation on her own presidential ambitions is a topic Harris avoids for now. But if she were to run, rallying the base – which is dominated by women and people of color – would be essential. Booker, a close friend of Harris, said she is “ 100% focused on the now.” “She knows we are in a national crisis.” 2024: Biden plans to run for re-election, 'would fully expect' Kamala Harris to be running mate One person who hopes to see Harris in the top job one day is Gayathri Cedor, the mother of 6-year-old Maya who held up the “My VP looks like me!!” sign in New Haven, Connecticut. When Cedor heard Harris was coming, she wanted her daughter and son to get a glimpse, even if it was only of the vice president’s motorcade leaving the airport. Like Harris, Cedor’s children’s are half Indian and half Black, a fact she noted on the other side of the chalkboard. Their families even share some of the same first names, like Maya and Mina. “We were waving to her and she gave a thumbs up,” said Cedor, a 42-year-old mechanical engineer. “It’s just so exciting to see that background represented at such a high level.” Outside of the vice president's trip to her city, Cedor hasn’t been closely following Harris’ activities or the new administration generally but is pleased with the overall vibe. “It just feels like it reflects America,” she said. “It reflects us.”

Ben Fogle recalls being left red faced by wife's toilet dash at Prince William's wedding. Ben Fogle, 47, recalled the time he was left slightly embarrassed after his wife Marina, had to dash to the toilet at Prince William and Kate's wedding in 2011 and was caught in the isle just as the Queen arrived. Ben's wife and her family have been close friends with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge for years, and he spoke about how honoured he was to have had an invite to the wedding of the decade. Full of excitement to be there during the historic moment, there was one thing that was at the forefront of the couple's minds. Recalling the run up to the big day and the wedding itself in his latest column for the Telegraph, Ben revealed Marina was pregnant with their second child Iona at the time. "She would be eight months along at the wedding," he penned. "What if she went into labour? I had a few sleepless nights worrying about that." There was another pressing matter at hand, too. Having been in Antartica on an expedition when they received the invite, the presenter was in dire need of a new suit to accommodate the 15kg he had lost during the baltic challenge. "There was a 'Royal wedding waiting list' at Savile Row tailor Huntsman," he remembered. "I wasn't the only guest after something new for the big day." Managing to find a suit suitable for the Royal Family and the millions who would be watching around the world, Ben's worries cast back to the pregnancy and if something was to happen during the ceremony. "We had been asked to arrive at Westminster Abbey early - two hours, I recall," he continued. "So early that Marina needed a pregnancy induced wee just before the bride and groom arrived. "My sisters in law seized the opportunity to join her in a not insignificant dash across the Abbey, getting caught in the aisle just as the Queen arrived." He added: "I remember my face reddening at that." Luckily Iona arrived a few weeks later, with Ben joking: "[She] had the good grace not to appear at the wedding itself." But he remembered it all become a bit too much for heavily pregnant Marina, and she collapsed into a chair as Elton John played the piano. Thankfully it was nothing serious, and Ben even confessed it was rather "amusing". He continued: "It was at this point that Marina had a wobble and collapsed, feeling faint, onto a golden chair in a room full of Royals. "It was surreal - and quite amusing. "I held her hand as we walked downstairs to the garden for the most memorable part of the reception."

All projects within Exploits’ portfolio lie within the Exploits Subzone. Exploits believes that the Exploits Subzone, which runs 200 km from Dog Bay southwest to Bay d'Espoir, has been neglected since the last major exploration campaigns in the 1980s. The last 40 years have seen incremental advancements in the understanding of gold mineralization in the camp. The sum of this knowledge is now coming together in discrete and effective exploration models that have delivered discovery such as New Found Gold's 2019 discovery of 92.86 g/t Au over 19.0 metres near surface. The Exploits Subzone and GRUB regions have been the focus of major staking and financing throughout 2020, with increased exploration activities forecasted in the area moving into 2021. The team at Exploits, with significant local experience and knowledge, have studied the entirety of the Exploits Subzone and picked individual land packages for staking or joint venture where there is an opportunity for world class discoveries and mine development. Exploits intends to leverage its local team and the larger shift in understanding and become one of the most extensive explorers in the Exploits Subzone.

Anushka Shetty to tie the knot with Dubai-based businessman?. One of the most trending topics on social media is Anushka Shetty’s marriage . The speculations about Anushka’s wedding had been doing rounds for a very long time. Being Tollywood's most eligible lady bachelor, the movie world has been looking forward to the wedding of Anushka. Moreover, she has been staying away from the silver screen in the recent past. If reports are to be believed, Anushka Shetty is all set to tie the knot with a Dubai-based businessman . The actress’ parents have been focusing on her marriage for a long time. Now, Anushka is said to have given the green signal by insisting that she should get married without any further delay. With this, her parents started the hunt for the perfect pair for Anushka. It is being said that Anushka’s to-be-marriage is arranged one. However, no confirmation has been made by the actress or her spokesperson yet. This is not the first time that the news about her wedding has been doing the rounds. After Baahubali , it was rumoured that Anushka was dating pan-India star Prabhas and her marriage with him was also confirmed. Both Prabhas and Anushka denied the news, and it came to a full stop. Again, a new rumour has surfaced that Anushka was getting married to a team India cricketer but, that too is not true.

Cliff Walkers. Starring: Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, Qin Hailu, Zhu Yawen, Liu Haocun, Ni Dahong, Li Naiwen, Yu Ailei , Zhou Xiaofan Director: Zhang Yimou ANOTHER classy Chinese action thriller whose dazzling style seems to take place in a deliberate narrative void, “ ” (previously titled “Impasse”) marks leading Chinese director Zhang Yimou’s first foray into the espionage genre. Following on the heels of his “One Second,” the new film is dedicated to “the heroes of the Revolution.” What audiences will take away is a visually entrancing parade of attractive actors in a pleasingly fluid spy-counterspy dance. The film is set in the 1930s following the Japanese occupation of Manchukuo, a northeast puppet state that was once Chinese Manchuria. The atrocities committed by parts of the Japanese army during this period were recently dramatized in Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Wife of a Spy,” best director award winner at Venice 2020. Here, again, the action is premised on the urgent need to get information out for the world to judge and act upon. In this case, the sole survivor of a Manchurian death camp must be smuggled out of China as an eyewitness to Japanese war crimes. The Chinese Communist Party sends in a team of four secret agents, who have been highly trained in the Soviet Union and who are determined to succeed. We meet them parachuting through the snow over a forest of fir trees and falling gracefully through their branches to the ground in a mesmerizing opener. This lyrical intro sets the scene for some soulful cinematography and atmospheric sequences that will drive the film in place of a convincing spy story. The four are two couples: the married pair Zhang (Zhang Yi of “Operation Red Sea”) and Yu (Qin Hailu), and the younger Chuliang (Zhu Yawen) and his waif-like girlfriend Lan (Liu Haocun). Zhang, the team leader, remixes the couples and they take off in different directions, heading for the northern capital of Harbin, where they are to rendezvous with the eyewitness. But first, there are obstacles to overcome, codes to decipher and a bewildering series of turncoats, traitors and counterspies to unmask. The agents board a train to Harbin incognito and wait for a signal from an accomplice, but are double-crossed by a possible traitor. Fisticuffs follow. After that, the narrative becomes intricate enough to be safely ignored, especially since Zhang and Quan Yongxian’s screenplay doesn’t take the story nearly as seriously as the staging of sophisticated set pieces. Many scenes enjoyably salute cinema past, from Charlie Chaplin’s potato dance in an excerpt from “The Gold Rush,” to a whistling tune heard in front of a firing squad that tips its hat to Sergio Leone. Yu Hewei appears late in the tale as embedded secret agent Zhou, who has to liaise with the team while sidestepping the ambiguous sector chief and head torturer, Gao (Ni Dahong). Though at first she seems like an add-on ingénue to the mission, young Liu Haocun (who also appears in “One Second”) eventually comes across as the most individualized member of the team, capable not only of deciphering deep codes but of feeling pain for the tortured fates of others. Qin Hailu, who starred in Fruit Chan’s “Durian Durian,” has a memorable maternal moment. Apart from the sassy costumes, production design by Lin Mu re-creates Harbin's old streets and buildings with an aura of nostalgia. The movie is now being screened in Shenzhen. （SD-Agencies)
Full FDA approval of Covid-19 vaccines could help fight vaccine hesitancy, officials say. (CNN)As a condition of the emergency use authorizations issued for the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna coronavirus vaccines, those companies are expected to work toward asking the US Food and Drug Administration for full approval -- and some health officials are hoping it will happen soon. Dr. Sanjay Gupta looks into the origins of vaccine hesitancy Dr. Fauci explains importance of vaccine approval process What medical professionals are doing to fight vaccine hesitancy These vaccines have been in use since mid-December under emergency use authorizations, known as EUAs. During the pandemic, real-world data have shown the vaccines are against the coronavirus that causes Covid-19. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN's Jim Sciutto on Wednesday he hopes Covid-19 vaccines will receive full FDA approval "very soon," and that the FDA will work "as expeditiously as possible" on approval applications for coronavirus vaccines as they come in. Progressing from authorized to approved would allow manufacturers to market and directly distribute their vaccines. It could also have an impact on vaccine mandates -- and perhaps sway skeptics hesitant to get the vaccines now. The road to FDA approval Currently, the three Covid-19 vaccines distributed in the United States -- made by Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson -- are authorized, but not approved. Due to the seriousness of the pandemic, vaccine makers originally applied for EUAs because the authorization process takes less time than what would be required for full approval. Emergency use authorization is what its name suggests -- a medical product, such as a vaccine, that gets special FDA authorization to be used during an emergency. When the health emergency is over, "then any EUA(s) issued based on that declaration will no longer remain in effect," according to the FDA. So, vaccine makers will have to file a separate application for vaccines to be fully licensed. CNN has contacted Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson -- the most recent Covid-19 vaccine to be authorized -- about their plans to apply for full approval of their vaccines. None provided a timeline. The typical approval process for vaccine developers requires completing lab research, pre-clinical testing and Phase 1, 2 and 3 clinical trials in humans. That has already been done for these coronavirus vaccines. The FDA also requires vaccine manufacturers to submit data to support their manufacturing processes, facilities, product characterization and demonstration that the vaccine can be produced reliably and consistently. Once all of that is complete -- both the clinical trials and manufacturing details -- companies can submit a Biologics License Application or BLA to the FDA. "By submitting a BLA to the FDA, a company is seeking permission to distribute and market a vaccine for use in the United States," according to the FDA's website. "FDA evaluates the data to determine whether the safety and ness of the vaccine has been demonstrated and whether the manufacturing and facility information assure product quality and consistency. After its evaluation, FDA decides whether to approve (also known as to license) the vaccine for use in the United States." Applications designated as "priority review" mean the FDA's goal is to take action on an application within six months. A "standard review" could take longer. "When you're getting a formal approval you have to have a certain amount of time just observing predominantly the safety -- and obviously the safety looks really, really good in well over 140 million people having been vaccinated with at least a single dose," Fauci said on CNN on Wednesday. After all, as spread of the virus is reduced, the nation may no longer be under an emergency situation and the vaccines will need a different type of green light under the FDA. The agency is "the gold standard of a safety and regulatory organization throughout the world," said Fauci, chief medical adviser to President Biden. "I hope they do it quickly." 'It will help show skeptics that the authorized Covid vaccines are safe' A concern around authorized-but-unapproved vaccines hinges on vaccine hesitancy. If history is any indication, skepticism -- if not outright mistrust -- about an unapproved vaccine is nothing new. One study published in 2009, months after the US declared a public health emergency due to the H1N1 influenza and the World Health Organization declared it a pandemic, researchers explored the public's willingness to use a drug or a vaccine with an EUA -- not full FDA approval -- by surveying a representative sample of more than 1,500 US adults. The researchers, from the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Georgia, found that about 77% of respondents would be moderately, very or extremely worried if offered an unapproved vaccine; some 63% said they would not take it. But the study also found that there were some other key factors that would convince respondents that a vaccine authorized under an EUA was safe to use. If the vaccine were administered by a public health professional, 55% of respondents said they would take it. If it came with a fact sheet, just over 57% of those surveyed said they would get it. If their own health care provider administered the vaccine, that number shot up to 68%. Dr. Jerome Adams, US surgeon general during the Trump administration, wrote in an opinion piece published in The Washington Post on Tuesday that approval will help show skeptics that the authorized coronavirus vaccines are safe. "We should also pursue full Food and Drug Administration approval and expand covid vaccinations to youths," Adams wrote in part. "The individuals who got vaccinated early on were generally high risk and willing to take a vaccine authorized for emergency use. But many people who are lower risk understandably ask if the benefits justify taking a medication that has not received the full and traditional FDA stamp of approval," he wrote. "As vaccine manufacturers complete further studies, which will eventually lead to expanded eligibility among minors, it will help show skeptics that the authorized covid vaccines are safe." Plans to require vaccines Some organizations say they expect to require the vaccine, but have opted not to while it's authorized and not yet fully approved. "People, when they hear it's still emergency use, they still have a little concern about how far you can go with it," Fauci said on CNN Wednesday. The University of California and California State University systems announced last week that their universities intend to require faculty, staff and students to be vaccinated against the coronavirus -- but the requirement would go into effect only once a vaccine has received full FDA approval. The proposed policy would begin this fall. The California State University noted in its announcement, "This requirement will become at the beginning of the fall 2021 term, or upon full FDA approval of the vaccine, whichever occurs later."

"The ultimate DD to the moon. Crazy Melon.. **Hey everyone. The melon crazy guys again.**
If you don’t have a tin foil hat and don’t have patience for this post, don’t worry about it, just Buy and Hold!!!
This is really deep after more than 4 months of research!
None of this is financial advice.
***Warning:*** *I’m not gonna go and post links about this information and I’m not going to confirm anything in here. Everything is basing your trust in this random redditor individual and your own logic. If any of this make sense keep going and fact check it yourself. Excuse my English too, it's my second language.*
**take everything with a huge grain of salt!!**
Let’s start!!
The current US dollar backing is based on fiat now, check it out:
https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fiatmoney.asp
**they can print “almost unlimited amount of dollars”** and they been doing so! 1/5 of the total dollars have been printed in the last year and a half btw!
But let’s continue.
**What does this have to do with GME?**
By changing from gold to oil then to fiat, they have an almost unlimited amount of currency backing i.e. they are allowed to print an almost “unlimited” amount of dollars. You starting to get my point? Well let’s keep digging baby!
*\*\*Keep the tin foil hats on, take everything I say with a huge grain of salt and you do your own fact check or simple don’t trust this crazy person :)\*\**
**PART 2: CITADEL/KENNY G'S INFINITE MONEY GLITCH WITH BONDS**
#**An overview of Kenny/Shytadel strategy:**#
* **GME Retail/Brokerages send money to Citadel MM (Market Maker)**
* **Shitadel take the money, buys the GME share though an ETF^ (so doesn’t reflect on the price) then sell it trough the main exchanges (so price fully affects as a sell and tank the prices on the exchange)**
^ mainly uses mortgage and auto loan dark pool ETF
* ** then doesn’t deliver the share to the broker/retail (the retail receives an IOU) and instead he borrow the share and sell it again on the main exchange to short. (Tanking the price again.)
* ** they will use the same share and recycle it (borrowing and selling) many times creating multiple IOU to broker/retail. My estimation is around 2000% the SI.** that’s just my crazy estimation.
* ** Parallel to that shitadel create their own trust bond and tied those fake shares to it as collateral, sell them (whoever buys this bonds hold the garbage), get a shit ton of money (fake shares money)
https://www.wiredupreport.com/2021/03/16/viral/citadel-issued-600m-worth-of-bbb-rated-bonds/
** With that money he can get a shit ton of liquidity to then keep shorting and backing everything with good “Margin”
* **not only shorting GME (tons of other companies). Those ones need to seem legitimate and have real money backing them up (bonds money) so no margin call if the SEC comes asking. So they need real money for that. So it’s “ALL LEGAL AND LEGITIMATE”**
* **While the company bankrupts, they keep shorting and shorting with those naked shares created to drop the price, once they used them too many time they dump them into a bank ETF (that also tann the price in the main exchange btw! Also “hiding” the naked share).
* **Then they Bankrupt the company**
* two big things happen here:
* 1) the company shares are worthless so they don’t need to return any naked share they produced (and I think they don’t even need to pay tax on the difference they make)
* 2) they made a shit ton of money on betting against the company with options (puts) predicting the company is going down (while manipulating the price the whole time.
* **when the company is worthless then is the best change for shitadel to buy the business super cheap! They also buy the busines debt providing leverage to the banks^.
*
* ^ they previously flooded the banks ETFs with heaps and heaps of naked shares and when they rebuy the company they buy the debt back from the banks. Providing a big leverage (piece of the bank inside).
*
* **Now shitadel and friends own a lot of businesses and business debt meaning the have big leverage on the banks^.
^Read bellow to understand what banks are made of now**
* **Owning big pieces of the major banks means they own big part of the federal reserve bank(the machine that goes brrrrr) so they own pieces of business, banks and federal reserve!!**
Shitadel went for all!!!
THIS IS ONLY PARTNLF THE FUCKERY!!! They are doing something big on the options (puts/calls) department!
#**Let’s go trough everything explained**
Note: This was accelerated by the pandemic big time!
What is a holding?
https://www.wolterskluwer.com/en/expert-insights/using-a-holding-company-operating-company-structure-to-help-mitigate-risk
Are banks holdings?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank_holding_company
FROM WIKIPEDIA:
[2008 credit crisis
As a result of the global financial crisis of 2008, many traditional investment banks and finance corporations such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley,[3] American Express, CIT Group and GMAC (now Ally Financial)[4] converted to bank holding companies in order to gain access to the Federal Reserve's credit facilities.]
MIND BLOWING!!! **ALERT ALERT!!**
Take a deep breath and be ready. What you are going to find out is gonna blow your mind.
#**Lets starts the journey**
A fellow ape drop this little document in here that pretty much connected the pieces of the puzzle (confirming they are using bonds strips as collateral to sell overseas in different currencies)
https://sec.report/Document/0001752724-21-087103/
This basically says that kenny and friends are funding heaps of companies in different countries: Brazil, Portugal, Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, Spain, Mexico, Virgin Islands, Philippines with a high interest rate of over 12% and receiving Treasury bonds strips as collateral and huge leverage. At the same time they are taking advantage of the exchange rates to make huge $$$ out of it.
—————
Also digging into some clues of RaB mentioning QSR led us to find out what a holding is and how it works for later on
Also, what’s a QSR?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/QSR
Big example of a QSR is RBI
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurant_Brands_International
This information lead me to understand what a holding is, in this case RBI holding is basically a basket of a few fast food restaurants out together. Like and ETF!!!
Anyway… let’s move forward.
**This is what I got. This is it, the whole thing, the whole fukery!!**
**Im gonna divide this in two parts… micro and macro view (macro for the big scope of things, micro for more details about it).**
Let’s get into the hard part!
——————————-
**Macro:**
So Kenny has been shorting this companies for a reason:
it makes him a shit ton of money yes. Is that his goal tho? No.
He’s goal is to be the king of everything and own everything. But how shorting companies is helping him achieve that?
We found out trough QSR and RBI that there is something called a company being a holdings. What does that mean?
That this business hold the assets of other business in one basket (in the RBI specific case they own burguer King, horton cafes and Popeyes). Is the basket of those businesses stock and performs according to those companies performance.
After the 2008 housing market collapse, major banks decided to change their structure to… guess….. FUCKING HOLDINGS!….(filled up the pieces of many private institutions they lent money to (businesses, hendgefjnds, etc), people they lent money to (mortgages, auto loans, student loans, etc) and money they lent to the government ).
**The federal reserve is privately owned (not part of the government and instead is sanctioned and backed by it) by the 12 reserve banks and the 0.01% (they are the top contributors to the reserve, whaaaaat?)**
Well… think about every company borrowing money from a bank and putting their assets as collateral (putting that stock collateral inside the banks basket/pool, mainly ETFs), now the bank owns part of the company on form of debt collateral. The bigger the company debt the bigger part of the pie the bank owns as collateral right? Big leverage!
[Also, some ETFs are pretty much a basket/pool full of many many company shares that suppose to be the collateral for the debts. Some others are filled with as packages of people’s debt (student loans, mortgages, etc). Others full of government debt to the banks.
**Put all those shares and pieces (could be turned into Liquidity if sold in case of company liquidation or too much risk) and their liquidity backing of cash (people’s bank accounts deposited) and that’s what the bank is made of. Correct me if I’m wrong on the comments please.
The banks own leverage on those companies they lend money too.
**Now let’s go back to Kenny g**
Kenny has been shorting this companies (including GME) to bankrupt them or lowering their stock prices not for the sole purpose of cash out the bankruptcy No No!
He’s been doing it so he then rebuys the company at almost nothing and when he does so guess what….. HES BUYING THEIR DEBT, SO ITS BUYING LEVERAGE AGAINST THE BANKS!!!… (counter leverage opposite as what the bank is doing when lend money, this way Kenny has the money and the bank don’t want to return the shares in a big loss!!)
Remember the bank is a holding!
Kenny and kids (melvin, Susquehanna and other baby hedge funds) have been shorting over and over to own leverage against the banks for daddy Kenny.
Thats not all!!
While the company is not yet bankrupt ….
Shitadel MM make trust bonds, pack them with all the fake GME naked shares inside and sell them as if they were full of valuable real GME (the system don’t recognize fakes from reals right?)
https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2006-12-08-0612080128-story.html
https://www.wiredupreport.com/2021/03/16/viral/citadel-issued-600m-worth-of-bbb-rated-bonds/
Get tons of money now!
His process is extremely complex, he uses algorithms to move the money constantly and very fast, buying T-bonds, mortgages, short more companies and etc.
https://sec.report/Document/0001752724-21-087103/
Remember this file? Kenny and other banks are funding other business in many other countries giving them money and taking advantage or the transaction rates and well as charging interests rates higher than 12% and backing those with Treasury bonds strips! It’s all there in the doco have a look!
That’s one way they use the money from they fake bonds and all the fake shares (so it’s easy just to make more fake shares , pack them in trust bonds and sell them!)
The ones who buy those shitadel trust bonds are the bag holders!! They are buying bonds that are full of shit!!
So at this point he successfully has treasury bonds as leverage from money he gathered from packing fake shares…. (Non existent naked GME shares. Big scam!), also lent some money overseas with the same money, huge interest rates and made money with the conversion rates!
**So this way he is recycling all the worthless made up naked shares he already used to drive the price down until the company goes bankrupt, 60% of the time he was right EVERYTIME (anchorman quote), he’s been succeeding with this!!**
Once the company bankrupt, he is successfully draining the money from the company, from the retail shareholder and for all the people that bought those trust bonds!!
While making a shit ton of money from NON EXISTING SHARES PACKED IN BINDS OF SHIT!
**now the company bankrupts**
Kenny then buys the company shares at almost nothing!! (And the company debt)
So now he has huge leverage against the banks/treasury by wanting to buy back the shares the bank don’t want to sell at big losses!
**He flood banks ETFs with those naked trash shares and know he has HUGE leverage!**
REMEMBER THAG HE IS DOING THAT WITH FAKE MADE UP SHARES SO ITS NOT EVEN REAL MONEY!! Biggest scam ever!
Pisses me off! Honestly
[This is Kenny personal vendetta against banks and to own everything!]
So his purpose is to be the biggest king
In the finance by Owning so many companies, so much leverage in the banks while using the money he makes with the naked trust bonds to buy land, art and lend money to companies overseas. Remember greensill??? Now stating to ring a bell?
Kenny’s babies (melvin, Susquehanna and friends) now also have massive leverages and doing the same style of work Kenny is doing in a smaller scale.
That way they can control everything!
So Kenny ultimately wants to own everything, be too big to be untouchable and bigger than any bank or the treasure. is been doing this trick pretty much since 2008 with this predatory behavior!!!
**So where GME comes to play?**
GME resisted and didn’t break, instead went up!
Kenny then tried harder and harder to break it (keep doubling and doubling down), but he didn’t expect retail to be so resilient and not give up, also he didn’t expect RC to come and transform the company!!!
RC did something that most of us don’t see as a big deal, but is a MASSIVE FU**ING DEAL.
HE GOT RID OF THE DEBT!!! Now GME is free!! Fuming bloody genius! All power to the shareholders, power to the players!
Another thing that fits the puzzle is…
Shitadel and friends are part of the DTCC but so are big banks!
Makes sense to me why the DTCC is now making all this rules… to protect the banks from shitadel and friends predatory behavior as well as them not to suffer when shitadel and friends fall due to GME!!!
DTCC is not in the wrong side of the equation, they were just manipulated by Kenny big time! Bloody scammy Kenny!

————-
The micro:
**this is when tits get totally jacked**
In the pandemic the government gathered trillions (I think something like 2.2trillions). That money came mainly from overseas countries giving money in exchange of treasury bonds strips to help the government for the stimulus packages.
Then Kenny came to certain president promising that if he borrow that money he will then return the money for the stimulus plus to pay the debt and more.
He was going to be the savior of the people!! Giving stimulus to everyone and saving the country!
How the government gave the stimulus to people if Kenny had the money?
The government printed the money for the stimulus and gave it to the people.!!!
(Remember that 1/5 of the total money has been printed in the last year and a half, machine goes brrrrr).
Now Kenny has over 2 trillion to play with. Ohhh no! Play time for Kenny!
Kenny took those trillions and short GME and other companies!! Using the methods we well know from above.
Then he made those trust bonds filled with empty naked shorts tons of more times!
But…. He fucked up with GME.
If Kenny succeeded bankrupting GME, the money for the stimulus and to pay the 2.2 trillion would of come from the pocket of the retail investors of those companies as well as the assets and money of the companies themselves and also from his trust bond Scams (the people that bought his trust bonds!)
Destroying the economy, stopping technology and so many people fuc**ed and unemployed!
Really Kenny?
He also lent more and more money overseas to win with the transaction rates and the juicy 12%+ interest rates.
Then wanted to cover everything and blaming the PANDEMIC obviously!
The treasury would of use that money to cover the hole made by the stimulus, pay the debt to other countries and happy days for Kenny boy!!
Win-win for Kenny and hiving him more leverage against the banks/reserve while fooking shorting good business like GME and scamming everyone else!!!
**Our video games, boardgames and pikachus going to Kenny! Fu*k no!**
But then the 0.01%, the government and banks realized that GME wasn’t going bankrupt and that Kenny was scamming and probably not giving the money back, so now they are poised to claim their moneyzzzz, SO DO WE!!!
But that’s not all!!
Kenny now is trapped but then he know that the banks have a big bubble He created dumping all those fake shares on ETFs filled by naked non existent shares of companies and huge leverage! HE IS SHORTING THE BANKS AND FUCKING the 0.01%!!!
Why? Because Kenny don’t want wanted to be the bag holder!! Also he always wanted to be a bank and be part of that elite club and they didn’t let him in because he wasn’t born into the 0.01% (that’s mainly why he’s seeking revenge!!)
Sorry Kenny! you can’t buy your way into the 0.01% club, you need to born with the surname Kenny. Kenny no likey 0.01 percento nada!
He’s been issuing years after years those bad bad useless trust bonds and everyone buys them thinking are solid gold from shitadel!
**How’s is the 0.01% is fighting back??**
Creating a bubble too big to handle in GME so they can breaks the citadel (Kenny and friends) and margin call them before the federal reserve implodes!!!
But they need to come up with firewalls and ways to protect all the banks and members of the DTCC that are not part of the Shitadel and friends scam!! That’s why all those rules coming in place.
Once everything is ready then shitadel and friends are gonna be margin called, then forced to close the naked shorts in the ETFs as well as in those garbage trust bonds full of empty shells.
**Remember that Kenny need to return those borrowed naked IOUs and put a real share in the empty shell on peoples accounts and bonds!!**
But there is more! Don’t forget the bets!
**Forgot about the FTD plus all the puts accumulated for years that expire 1/16 a 4/16 (yes DFV day!!) and 6/16!!?** that’s another massive fukery scam going on and is HUGE!
Treasury and friends need to break citadel before citadel break them! economy and the government among scamming everyone and bankrupting companies!!
Holy fuc*****ing sh***it!!!
Apes are the last line of defense!!!!! PROTECT THE ECONOMY FROM PREDATOR KENNY G!!!
BUY AND HOLD!
Now remember, when was the last time Uncle Sam didn’t get his money? I think I can’t remember..
**because Uncle Sam always gets his money!!, and he’s coming for the money back from Kenny and our tendies!! All of them!!**
**This is citadel (Kenny and friends) vs the DTCC, federal reserve and the banks!!**
Epic fight!!
More than ever fellow ape **BUY AND HOLD!!**
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kenny is in the deep with something around 2000%+ SI no joke.
**Remember Trump calling Ken out in his speech? Kenny is hiding with all his money somewhere. He’s also been hiding it in art and real estate:**
***The Federal reserve and retail money!***
**Kenny and Citadel have liquidity to fight for now, but the machine stopped printing, it’s just matter of time.**
So far been kicking the cans with fukery like this one

**AN IMPORTANT NOTE: Changes from LIBOR to SOFR**
Changes from Libor to SOFR were meant to happen in 2022, but guess what?They have been pushed up to June 2021!!!
[https://webstorage.paulhastings.com/Documents/PDFs/timeline-for-libor-transition.pdf?sfvrsn=363ea8ab\_2](https://webstorage.paulhastings.com/Documents/PDFs/timeline-for-libor-transition.pdf?sfvrsn=363ea8ab_2)
**This is massive!! Why?**
Banks used LIBOR to manipulate their self created and self reported interest rates in order to be favorable and give away money left right and center. Where did tons of that money go?
To HEDGEFUNDS!!! They borrowed money from banks for almost no interest rates no matter how the economy and inflation was, including during an unprecedented pandemic!!! For what? SHORTING Kenny style!
Wtf?? Now you wonder why during a pandemic the whole market was “healthy” and up and growing right?? Inflating business with naked shares..
Using the same citadel strategy but with money from the banks and washing everything trough citadel MM, bonds and dumping all the garbage in the ETFs and the trust bonds buyers.
Always betting in bankrupting the companies and then rebuying them to own pieces of the banks/federal reserve.
This might margin call a lot of the banks that need to show collateral for all the shitty loans they been giving to the HEDGEFUNDS and shit business and institutions too. Lots of banks are gonna be fucked and margin called.
Retail and COVID are gonna be blamed and there is gonna be crisis, but everything is gonna be fine and tendies will be paid.
The tax from the tendies will come back to the governments and smooth things. Inflation is also a healthy thing in every economy, it’s gonna be bad in certain areas but good for other areas so don’t worry too much.
They will print and the system will heal. Don’t worry.
\----------------------------
**BUY AND HOLD and be patient fellow apes! The end is near.**
**None of this is financial advice. I’m a regarded ape just rambling words. I’m crazy and a horrible man. So don’t believe or listen to anything I say.**
**Don’t trust me and do your own research and fact check, I did and fuck I’m jacked to the tits!!**
**TL;DR: Kenny is in big trouble for trying to scam the big big money (bigger money than Bezos, Gates and Musk combined) and everyone to own the banks/federal reserve**
**Machine no printing for him anymore so he’s been drained and his game uncovered. Apes need to be patient and keep**
BUYING AND HOLDING!!!**

A bit of a history lesson. IF YOU WANT TO KEEP READING
**PART 1: FROM GOLD-BACKED TO USD OIL-TO FIAT BACKED**
Most currencies have an asset to back them up. Most countries use gold. USD used to be backed in gold. Somewhere around the line (fellow ape told me was Nixon in 1970-71)
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/fdr-takes-united-states-off-gold-standard
a certain US president went to the UAE and Saudi Arabia and secured the deal of the lifetime.
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/forex/072915/how-petrodollars-affect-us-dollar.asp
He agreed to purchase all the oil that came from the area as well as providing security, stability and protection. The only condition was **they have to deal oil in USD only**. Massive fu\*\*\*ing deal. Pretty much means that every transaction involving oil has to use USD meaning that banks will get a cut for every transaction and conversion made.
https://news.bitcoin.com/petro-dollar-system-crumbles-us-dollar-could-collapse-from-the-worlds-oil-wars/
We still trying to transition from petrodollar to something else….. anyway. Let’s gooo!!
Be ready to be fucking mind blown!! At the end of this DD your tits are gonna be as jacked as every and your hand so hardened!! BUY AND HOLD IS THE ONLY WAY!
*\*tin foil hat conspiracy theory time\*:* Pretty much every major war we been having post 2000 has been because of that. Think The War on Terror/Bin Laden, Iraq, Hussein , Syria/Gadaffi, etc.
**Why?**
Because these countries wanted to deal oil cutting the middle man, they dare to deal oil in a different currency cutting big deals straight with Russia, China, North Korea and any country that doesn’t want to use USD to buy petrol from them. Yes, the whole terrorism and Rambo fight for freedom was just a cover-up. The US was making a statement punishing every regimen and country that dares to challenge their supremacy and deal in another currency, as well as having control of the precious oil. Yikes!"

VELCAN HOLDINGS : Annual results 2020 - stable financial results but decrease of the net income. t PRESS RELEASE Luxembourg, 30 th April 2021 : ANNUAL RESULTS 20 20 STABLE FINANCIAL RESULTS BUT DECREASE OF THE NET INCOME DUE TO DISAPPOINTING OPERATIONS IN BRAZIL AND INDIA NON AUDITED KEY CONSOLIDATED FIGURES 20 20 201 9 Var % Revenues (EUR m) 2. 5 2. 8 -12 % EBITDA (EUR m) - 2.0 -1. 4 -4 5% Net Income (EUR m) 2. 1 3 . 6 -4 1 % Shareholders’ Equity (EUR m) 1 16 1 21 -4 % Cash and Financial assets 10 5 103 +1 % closed 2020 with a net result, Group share, of EUR 2.1m compared to EUR 3.6m in 2019. This decline essentially stems from, on one hand a drop of the Brazilian operational result due to a very low generation coupled with a massive depreciation of the Brazilian currency and on the other hand an increase of the impairment of the Indian projects, leading to an overall decline of the result. The EBITDA is also down by 45% ( EUR -2.0m in 2020 vs EUR -1.4 m in 2019). Net financial gains, which amounted to EUR 7.7m , were almost stable compared to EUR 8.1m in 2019, mostly because of the reallocation of the portfolio from corporate bonds to equity and commodities. Shareholder’s equity decreased by 4% mainly due to the share buyback programs executed in 2020 (492 k shares bought back in 2020, for a total price of EUR 3.1m ). During 2020, the continued developing its hydropower concessions located in India (571 MW), and operated its Rodeio Bonito hydropower plant (15 MW) in Brazil . The uncertainties and deadlocks of the Indian hydropower market remained, as in 2019, and prevented progress of the projects, leading to an additional provision or Eur 2.8 million (20%) for FY 2020 on the intangible value of the Indian projects. This brought the total provision to Eur 7.1 million (50%), considering the previously booked provisions. This additional provision was already accounted for in the 2020 half yearly results published in October 2020 . The Rodeio Bonito plant generation was historically low, 40% below the 2019 generation, as a result of the severe draught in the south of Brazil which led to an increase of the payments to the MRE system 1 . At constant foreign exchange rates the turnover has grown (+18%) thanks to the inflation of selling prices. In Euro the turnover is down by 12% ( EUR 2.5 m in 2020 vs EUR 2.8 m in 2019) because of the massive depreciation of the Brazilian currency in 2020 (-41%). FINANCIAL YEAR 20 20 – MANAGEMENT COMMENTS ON THE BUSINESS India The hydroelectric concessions obtained in 2007 in the State of Arunachal Pradesh could not make significant progress, due to several long lasting administrative and regulatory impediments, aggravated by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Techno-Economic Clearance (TEC), Environmental Clearance, Forest Clearance as well as most of the post TEC investigations being complete for the tandem Heo-Tato-1 (426 MW), the main next development steps for these 2 projects are the land acquisition, the transport infrastructure, the amendment of the concession agreements, the stage 2 Forest Clearance and the preliminary search for a bankable Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). These steps however essentially fall under the purview and responsibility of the State and Central Governments. During 2020 the land acquisition procedure conducted by the State Government was halted due to a stoppage of the land survey by several land owners who physically prevented the District administration to enter some parts of the land, complaining about land ownership disputes and claiming immediate financial compensations. The discussions initiated between the state government and the concerned owners in February 2020 were suspended due to the Covid-19 outbreak, as the required meetings could happen only physically. The procedure could restart only in February 2021 . All the on-site surveys and boundary markings were completed by the in March 2021 , without interruption. As of the date of this press release, the Group has not received the official survey report and list of land owners from the . However the Group’s team attended each survey and it is the Group understanding that significant parts of the land requirement have again been registered by the as being under ownership dispute, and that the survey may lead to an increase of disputed areas as compared to earlier lists established by the State Government. The Group does not know yet if and how the Government of Arunachal Pradesh (GoAP) will settle these disputes and find a solution that will allow permanent site access and the Projects’ implementation. considers that, as per the current concession agreement and applicable regulations, the land acquisition process and ownership disputes settlement are the exclusive responsibility of the licensing Government. The concession contract provides for an extension of the development period in case of any delay which is not the responsibility of the developer. Negotiations with the GoAP, for the amendment of the concession agreement, relate to the development timeframe, but also to the amendment of the allocated capacities (still 380MW in the current concession agreement) and other important terms, have not progressed since 2018. This has led to the impossibility to renew the TECs of the Heo and Tato-1 (426 MW) tandem in 2020, as such renewal required either a concession agreement up to date with the 426 MW capacity approved by CEA, or a non-objection certificate (NOC) from the GoAP. TECs of Heo and Tato-1 HEP, granted in 2015 for 3 years and already extended a first time in 2018 for 2 years, were bearing validities until on 27 th July 2020 and 28 th October 2020 respectively. Applications for renewals of both TECs were submitted to CEA, which requested the Group to obtain from GoAP a (NOC) acknowledging that the GoAP has no objection to the renewal of the projects TECs for the current capacities of 240 MW and 186 MW. After several discussions the GoAP refused, on 1 st October 2020 , to issue a NOC unless the concession agreements were amended under conditions entailing significant financial costs, some of which the Group does not agree with. After requesting a draft amendment to the GoAP during Q4 2020, without success, the Group finally sent its own proposed draft amendment in Q1 2021. Its main provisions relate to the allocated installed capacities, the administrative fees, the development timeframe, the obligations of both parties, and the increase of the free power to the GoAP against the withdrawal of its potential equity participation in the projects. The provisions have been proposed by the Group considering the historical difficulties and the ground reality of the projects and of the Indian hydropower market. As of the date of this press release, the discussions are going on with the GoAP, but both TECs of Heo and Tato-1 HEP are technically not valid anymore, and their renewal is depending on the execution of the revised concession agreement (in addition to the CEA renewal procedure). The road infrastructures have kept progressing at a slow pace during 2020 as they did in previous years. No progress has been made by the regarding the acceleration of the overall completion schedule. The scheduled dates of completion of the roads upgrade up to the projects site are still scheduled theoretically in 2022, but will most likely face significant delays of 2 to 3 years given that for some stretches the technical studies have not yet even been completed. On the forest clearance side, the renewal of the stage-I clearance has been applied for in September 2020 and is still under progress as of date. The Group continued to explore the Indian market and to conduct its preliminary search for a PPA during 2020. All the major Indian power traders (PPA brokers) and distribution companies (DISCOMS) contacted for Heo and Tato-1 either declined to take up a commercial discussion for a PPA or did not respond. The continued lack of appetite of the market for hydropower PPAs results from the commercial and financial Indian market conditions, which remained the same during 2020 and still do not fulfil the requirements for the long term and bankable sale of hydropower. The market remained constrained by the lack of appropriate regulatory framework for such bankable PPAs, the stressed financial position of electricity distribution companies (DISCOMS) and the indirect competition of cheap solar and wind power. Grid stability and the requirement for peak power 2 have also become a growing issue for Run-of-the-River (ROR, hence with no storage) hydro projects such as Heo and Tato-1 HEPs. Two years after the announcement of the new hydropower policy by the , a first part of the long awaited implementation regulation has finally be issued, imposing a Hydropower Purchase Obligation (HPO) on DISCOMS, setting a percentage of power that shall be procured by them from hydropower sources between 2021 and 2030. These percentages range from 0.18% to 2.82% and are remarkably lower than those of solar power, currently at 10.25% for 2021. The question is raised within the industry whether these provisions will be sufficient to trigger a general revival of the hydropower sector and enough demand for long term bankable PPAs for projects which are not yet under construction. Despite the above issues, the Group’s projects are the only hydropower projects of such size in India owned and developed by a foreign investor. They are amongst the most advanced private projects and present competitive techno-economic and environmental features. Despite long term promising prospects, the current Indian power market and especially the hydropower sector are still characterized by a lot of uncertainties. The Groups’ projects have been heavily delayed several years in a row. These delays and uncertainties have been reflected in an additional provision of Eur 2.8 million (20% of gross value) decided for first semester 2020 on the intangible value of the Indian projects. This brought the total provision to Eur 7.1 million (50% of gross value), considering the cumulated provisions booked in previous years ( EUR 4.4m or 30% of gross value). The Indian projects activities have been detailed in chapter I.4.1 of the annual report available at . Brazil The Rodeio Bonito Hydropower plant (15 MW) recorded a historically low production of 29 496 MWh in 2020, 40% below the 2019 generation (49 113 MWh in 2019) and close to its all-time record low of 2012 (24 793 MWh). However the turnover when expressed in the Brazilian currency (BRL) was up thanks to the inflation and the MRE system. But as a result of this very low electricity generation and the national low hydro generation in 2020, the plant had to compensate the MRE system, which was in a negative position. This is why payments to the MRE were much higher, reaching EUR 0.7m in 2020 vs. EUR 0.2m in 2019. As a result the EBITDA of the plant amounted to BRL 8.1m against BRL 9.3m in 2019, down by 13%. When converted in euro, the EBITDA of the plant was significantly lower to EUR 1.4m vs 2.1m in 2019 (-51%) mostly due to a 34% depreciation of the average rate of the Brazilian Real vs Euro currency in 2020. Financial Assets also continued to manage actively its treasury throughout a complicated year marked by the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on the financial markets. The Group executed an important reallocation of its investments in other asset classes. The Group started the year with a portfolio invested at approximately 60% in bonds, mostly high yield corporate ones. This bond portfolio was reduced by approximately half in January and February, as the rewards seemed not any more commensurate with the potential default risks. Since the March 2020 market crunch, the Group has gradually changed its asset allocation to include more exposure to equity and commodities (mostly gold). As of 31 st December 2020 , the bonds exposure, including T-bills, was reduced to 19% of the portfolio (64% as of 31/12/19), whereas the rest of the portfolio of cash, financial assets and financial liabilities ( EUR 104.5 m) included: a negative net cash position of EUR 9.3 m (-9% of the portfolio) versus a positive net debt position of EUR 27.2 m in 2019 (25% of the portfolio), 19% of gold related exposure (versus 1% as of 31/12/2019), 21% of oil related stocks (none as of 31/12/2019), 4% of silver related stocks (none as of 31/12/2019), 42% of equity (excluding oil) long positions (7% as of 31/12/2019), 4% of equity short positions (2% in 2019), 1% in private equity and credit (3% in 2019). While reallocating its financial assets towards equity, the Group has invested in companies which were trading at historically low prices and could benefit from the improvement of the Covid-19 situation. The two sectors hence selected were banking and energy. This strategy of reallocation of the financial assets proved profitable as the Group net financial assets rose from Eur 103 million to Eur 105 million and the financial result amounted to EUR 7.7 m as of 31/12/2020, stable when compared to 2019 (EUR 8.1 m) and despite the COVID-19 crisis. Given the current very low levels of benchmark rates in all developed markets ( USA , Europe and Japan ), the Group does not anticipate it will increase again its investments in corporate bonds in the medium term. The Group has reduced significantly its financial exposure to the USD and increased its exposure to the Euro and the Japanese Yen. As of 31/12/2020 the Group financial assets were exposed notably to the US Dollars (35% against 67% in 2019), the Japanese Yen (25% against 2% in 2019) and the Euro (22% against 9% in 2019). It is to be noted that the Gold and Silver positions are priced in USD and as such are included in the former USD exposure. Contrary to the previous years, the Group has fully invested its cash and has used some leverage (see above / net cash position) The financial portfolio is detailed in part I, section 3.1.B of the annual report 2020 available at . During the year continued to execute buyback programs in order to provide liquidity to shareholders wishing to sell their shares. The shares are bought back in view of their cancellation or to cover for new grants of free shares. A total of 492,348 shares were bought back in 2020, for a total price of Eur 3,131,696 . 275,000 shares were cancelled in April 2020 and, as of 31 st December 2020 , held 314,023 own shares representing 5.66% of its share capital. Foreseeable evolution of the Group: After the closing of this financial year, the Group is pursuing the following main objectives as a priority for FY 2021: Pursuing the development of the Indian hydropower projects. On the short term, executing the required amendment to the concession agreements of the Indian hydropower projects, in order to secure the renewal of the TECs and the renewal of Forest clearances. Continue the active management of its diversified financial investments; The ability of the Group to pursue these objectives is subject to the evolution of the current Covid-19 crisis, which may affect both the development of the Indian projects and the financial portfolio. FINANCIAL YEAR 2020 – MANAGEMENT COMMENTS ON THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Income Statement (unaudited consolidated) Turnover amounted to EUR 2.5m (against EUR 2.8m in 2018, a 12% decrease), mainly from electricity sales in Brazil . The turnover in local currency increased by 18% with the inflation on electricity sale prices. However, the depreciation of the Brazilian currency vs the Euro currency was responsible for a 34% decrease of the turnover in Euro. The current operating result amounted to EUR -5.6m (against -4.3m in 2019): Payments to the MRE (Energy Reallocation Mechanism) were EUR 0.7m in 2020 vs. EUR 0.2m in 2019. Depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets of Rodeio Bonito plant amounted to EUR 0.5m ( EUR 0.7m in 2019), while depreciation on intangible projects under development was EUR 2.8 vs an amount of EUR 2.2m in 2019, due to the provision passed on Indian projects. Staff expenses amounted to EUR 2.7m in 2020 vs EUR 2.6m in 2019. The Group employed on average 20 permanent employees in 2020. External expenses are totaling EUR 1.4m in 2020 vs EUR 1.5m in 2019. Net Financial Gain for the group amounted to EUR 7.7m in 2020 mostly because of the reallocation strategy from bonds to equity and commodities markets and despite the USD depreciation (-9% compared to end of 2019) and its impact on the Group’s cash and financial assets position. The impact of this depreciation has been managed by the currency reallocation strategy of the Group, avoiding bigger potential forex losses (see breakdown per currency in chapter I.7.4. of the annual report). This gain of 7.7m compares to EUR 8.1m in 2019. In 2020, other operating income ( EUR 0.2m ) consisted mainly of earn out gains on Brazilian assets related to Brazilian assets divested in previous years. This figure was NIL in 2019. Income tax expense amounted to EUR -0.2m in 2020, same as in 2019. The net result, Group share, was EUR 2.1m in 2020 FY compared to EUR 3.6m in 2019. The Group’s EBITDA reached EUR -2.0m compared to EUR -1.4m in 2019. The strong depreciation of BRL (-41%) and INR (Indian Currency -12%) closing rates when compared to Euro, at 2020 closing date, has heavily and negatively impacted the other comprehensive income, as the Group’s main tangible and intangible investments have been done in local currency ( EUR -4.5m in 2020 against EUR -0.1m in 2019). The total comprehensive income amounts to a loss of EUR -2.4m in 2020 against a gain of EUR 3.5m in 2019. Balance sheet – Assets (unaudited consolidated) Net intangible assets stands at 8.3m in 2020 and are down by EUR 3.7m versus 2019, mostly because of the provision of EUR -2.8m of Indian assets, the depreciation of the Indian currency ( EUR -0.9m ) and the Brazilian currency ( EUR -0.5m ) despite the addition of EUR 0.7m of capitalized costs on Indian projects. Net tangible assets stands at 5.3m in 2020 and decreased by EUR 2.7m between 2019 and 2020, mainly because of depreciation of the Rodeio Bonito plant ( EUR -0.5m ) and the depreciation of the Brazilian currency ( EUR -2.3m ). Cash, cash equivalent assets and financial assets (net of Current financial liabilities) have increased from EUR 103m in 2019 to EUR 105m in 2020 (+1%) mainly thanks the good performance of the Group’s financial portfolio and despite the share buyback programs. Financial assets consist mainly in listed equity, bonds and commodities related stocks. Finally total assets increased by 15.3% during 2020 FY (up by EUR 18.9 m), mostly because of the bank overdraft facility described in below as part of the “liabilities” and the related asset purchases. At 31 st December 2020 , the Group ( and its subsidiaries) holds 314,023 own shares (2019: 146,810). At year end closing price of EUR 6.41 those own shares have a market value of EUR 2.0m . Balance sheet – Liabilities (unaudited consolidated) Non-current provisions and other non-current liabilities amount to EUR 0.7m and EUR 1.0m at 31 December 2020 respectively and arise from litigations related to the 2 biomass plants previously owned by the Group (Satyamaharshi SMPCL – 7.5 MW and Rithwik RPPL – 7.5 MW, owned between 2006 and 2010). The existing provision represents the major part of the claims as well as accumulated interests and judicial expenses. Trade and other payables amount to EUR 0.9 m vs EUR 0.5m in 2019 (due to EUR 0.3 m of payable related to MRE payments in Brazil , due in early 2021 but related to 2020 generation). Current financial liabilities of EUR 23.9 m in 2020 (vs NIL in 2019) are related to overdraft facilities granted by a brokerage firm to the Group to leverage its listed investments trading activities. Under this facility, securities held in the trading account are used as a security to borrow money. This facility has enabled the Group to leverage its investments and maximize its profits. But it is to be noted that leverage works both ways and could also cause higher losses in case of fall in market prices. Own shares, booked directly against the equity of the Group at their historical cost, reduce the net shareholder’s equity of the Group by EUR -2.1m at 31 st December 2020 versus EUR -1.2m at 31 st December 2019 following the share buyback programs ( EUR -3.1m ), the capital reduction ( EUR +1.9m ) and the use of shares to cover share based payments ( EUR +0.4m ). As at 31 st December 2020 , unrealized losses on conversion reserves, booked directly against the equity amounted to EUR -14.2m versus an unrealized loss of EUR -9.6m at 31 st December 2019 , as the BRL and INR currencies heavily depreciated VS EUR currency in 2020. With a consolidated equity of EUR 115.8m ( -EUR 5.3m compared to 2019), the Group still has no significant net debt as of 31 st December 2020 , though it should be noted it uses leverage (cf. the leverage facility mentioned earlier).

New Apple TV 4K, iPad Pro to launch on May 21. San Francisco: After a successful “Spring Loaded” event, Apple is likely to launch the new iPad Pro with M1 and the upgraded Apple TV 4K with revamped Siri Remote on May 21. Known tipster Jon Prosser updated in a tweet that Apple will also launch the new Apple TV on May 21 along with iPad Pro. The launch date arrives as information from UK retailer John Lewis revealed availability for the new iMac and iPad Pro on May 21, which is when the new Apple 4K TV will also be launched by the Cupertino-based giant. Previously, Prosser believed that the 11-inch model would arrive a day after on May 22, but now the tipster claims that both models would launch on the same date. Recently, Apple has announced its most powerful and advanced iPad Pro ever, featuring an M1 chip, ultra-fast 5G and a stunning 12.9-inch Liquid Retina XDR display. The new 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro will be available in silver and space grey finishes. iPad Pro is available in 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TB configurations. The company also unveiled a new iMac that features a 24-inch 4.5K Retina display with 11.3 million pixels, 500 nits of brightness and over a billion colours, delivering a brilliant and vivid viewing experience.

Three points to pay attention to afterwards- "Still, I can't get the high price". I would like to pay attention to the following three points in the late trading on the 30th.・ The Nikkei average has fallen back, "I still can't get the high price" ・ The dollar / yen pair has fallen, and adjustments have been made for the long holidays. ・ Tokyo Electron is the top contributor to the price drop, and FANUC is second. I can't go. ”The Nikkei average has fallen back. The previous trading was closed at 28908.39 yen (estimated trading volume of 600 million shares), which was 145.58 yen lower. The Tokyo market on the 29th was closed on Showa day, but during this period, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by $ 164 on the 28th and rose by $ 239 on the 29th. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said it was "not the time to discuss" the reduction in asset purchases, and was aware of the prolonged monetary easing, as well as expectations for large-scale fiscal policy following President Biden's policy address. Also increased. In addition, real gross domestic product (GDP, preliminary figures) for the January-March quarter increased significantly by 6.4% annually from the previous quarter. However, in the Tokyo market after the holidays, there are still some stocks that are pushed to sell due to the settlement of accounts, and the Nikkei average starts from 57 yen depreciation. After that, there were some scenes where it was reluctant to lower, but aggressive trading was limited due to the interval of Golden Week, and it temporarily dropped to 28885.43 yen (168.54 yen depreciation) toward the front closing. On an individual basis, Sony G fell 6% at the top of trading value. Although it is not possible to make a simple comparison due to changes in accounting standards, it seems that sales are rising due to the profit reduction plan for this term. Murata also fell by more than 3% due to the negative view of the slowdown in profit growth this term. In addition, Toyota itself is weak in the top trading value, and First Lite is a little cheap. Nidec fell by nearly 4%. In addition, SMS and others are appearing at the top of the TSE 1st section decline rate. On the other hand, Softbank G and Nintendo are small. Hitachi Metals surged to the TOB price following the announcement of a takeover bid (TOB) by a US fund. Keyence, Hitachi, and Fujitsu have been heavily bought by the stocks whose financial results have been announced, and Cyber has appeared at the top of the TSE First Section growth rate. In the sector, transportation equipment, rubber products, glass and earth and stone products, etc. have the highest rate of decline. On the other hand, steel, shipping, land transportation, etc. had the highest rate of increase. The number of stocks on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange is 37% of the total, while the number of stocks on the first section is 59%. Today's Nikkei average has returned to the front with a three-digit decline. There were occasions when I was reluctant to lower it, but it seems that it is difficult to buy because of the interval of Golden Week. Looking at the trading value of the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, it is not a little less than 1.4 trillion yen so far, but considering that it is swelling reasonably due to the settlement of accounts of major companies, it seems that aggressive trading is still scarce. The financial results of major companies vary. I get the impression that it has improved compared to the beginning of the financial results announcement season, when Nidec, M3, etc. plunged one after another. However, if you look at KEYENCE, you can think of it as a reaction to the sale in advance due to the sense of caution about the financial results reaction. Recently, the number of new high-priced stocks has continued to be at a double-digit pace, and it does not seem that there has been a change in the keynote on a breaking news basis so far today. After all, even if there are movements to review financial results and short-term transactions, it is still in the mood of "going to get high prices". However, under these circumstances, the reason why Fujitsu set a new year-to-date high (17250 yen) during trading hours in January is that "digital transformation (DX)" is recognized as a long-term investment theme. Makes you feel. Mothers index continues to fall to -0.51% in emerging markets. Mothers trading value on the 28th has fallen to the 110 billion yen level, and it seems that it is being pushed by selling for the closing of credit buying in the thin business. The balance of credit purchases at the time of application on the 23rd announced by the Tokyo Stock Exchange on the 27th (Tokyo / Nagoya 2 markets, total of institutional credit and general credit) was 3.30.5 trillion yen (up 102.9 billion yen from the previous week). It is said that it was the highest level in 2 years and 10 months, while the selling balance was 707.2 billion yen (down 25.7 billion yen), the lowest level in 2 years and 4 months. I would like to determine how much credit buying balance has been sorted out before Golden Week, but is it still conscious of the weight of the upside in terms of stock supply and demand? By the way, US stocks went up and down during the closing of the Tokyo market, but the direction to "continue to ride the rise in the market as before" and "If strong (performance / economy) figures are confirmed, we are reducing risk assets. I get the impression that the directions of "this way" are in conflict. The financial results of major high-tech companies such as "GAFAM (Alphabet (Google), Apple, Facebook, Amazon.com, Microsoft)" were still overwhelming, but the reaction to the financial results was mixed. It seems that the investment strategy from here is also divided. The Baiden administration and the Fed have indicated that they will continue aggressive fiscal spending and monetary easing, but the break-even inflation rate (an indicator of expected inflation rate) has risen to the 2.4% range. It can be seen that there is a deep-rooted sense of caution about the acceleration of inflation. The Tokyo market will be closed for five consecutive holidays from tomorrow, during which economic indicators such as business sentiment will be announced one after another in the United States. Also, in Japan, many announcements of financial results of major companies such as Komatsu, Tokyo Electron, and ANA are scheduled today, and it seems that the wait-and-see mood will be strong for later transactions. (Daijun Kobayashi) ■ Dollar / yen pair depreciated, adjustment for large consecutive holidays The dollar / yen pair fell in the Tokyo market on the morning of the 30th, dropping from around 109 yen to the latter half of 108 yen. Buying of the dollar strengthened toward the midpoint price, but then stalled after a round of buying. With the Golden Week holidays ahead, sales of adjustments by domestic forces are observed. On the other hand, China's economic indicators were lower than expected, and it was a little anaerobic. The trading range up to this point is 108.71 to 109.06 for the dollar / yen, 131.77 to 132.19 for the euro / yen, and 1.2116 to 1.2127 for the euro / dollar. ■ Checked stocks in the latter part ・ Three stocks such as Architects Studio Japan and Soshin Electric have stopped high * Including temporary stop high (quote price) ・ Tokyo Electron is the top contributor to price decline, and Fanac is second in the ranking ■ Economic indicators ・Important remarks [Economic indicators] ・ Effective recruitment rate in Japan / March: 1.10 times (Forecast: 1.09 times, February: 1.09 times) ・ Sun / March unemployment rate: 2.6% (Forecast: 2.9%, February: 2.9) %) ・ Japan ・ April Tokyo Metropolitan Consumer Price Index (excluding fresh products): -0.2% year-on-year (forecast: 0.0%, March: -0.1%) ・ Japan / March Mining and industry preliminary figures: previous month Ratio + 2.2% (Forecast: -2.0%, February: -1.3%) ・ Middle / April manufacturing PMI: 51.1 (Forecast: 51.8, March: 51.9) ・ Middle / April non-manufacturing PMI: 54.9 ( Forecast: 56.1, March: 56.3) [Important remarks] ・ NY City "To lift all restrictions on pandemic support by July 1" <Domestic> None <Overseas> None << CS >> Fisco
"$NIO I’m seriously dumbfounded with the posts of these bulls lately.
NIO long term gold!
But shirt term, no way."
Ransomware explained: No silver bullet, crooks out of reach. BOSTON: Political hand-wringing in Washington over Russia’s hacking of federal agencies and interference in US politics has mostly overshadowed a worsening digital scourge with a far broader wallop: crippling and dispiriting extortionary ransomware attacks by cybercriminal mafias that mostly operate in foreign safe havens out of the reach of Western law enforcement.Stricken in the United States alone last year were more than 100 federal, state and municipal agencies, upwards of 500 health care centers, 1,680 educational institutions and untold thousands of businesses, according to the cybersecurity firm Emsisoft. Dollar losses are in the tens of billions. Accurate numbers are elusive. Many victims shun reporting, fearing the reputational blight.All the while, ransomware gangsters have become more brazen and cocky as they put more and more lives and livelihoods at risk. This week, one syndicate threatened to make available to local criminal gangs data they say they stole from the Washington, D.C., metro police on informants. Another recently offered to share data purloined from corporate victims with Wall Street inside traders. Cybercriminals have even reached out directly to people whose personal info was harvested from third parties to pressure victims to pay up.“In general, the ransomware actors have gotten more bold and more ruthless,” said Allan Liska, an analyst with the cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.On April 29, a public-private task force including Microsoft, Amazon, the National Governors Association, the FBI, Secret Service and Britain and Canada’s elite crime agencies delivered to the White House an 81-page urgent action plan for an aggressive and comprehensive whole-of-government assault on ransomware.At the report’s online launch, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said in a pre-recorded video that the White House is developing a plan for disrupting ransomware and his department “will work to implement many of (the panel’s) recommendations, because one thing is clear: Ransomware is a threat to our national security.”Mayorkas last month announced a DHS ransomware initiative, and the Department of Justice has just created a task force to tackle the scourge.Where did ransomware come from? How does it work?The criminal syndicates that dominate the ransomware business are mostly Russian-speaking and operate with near impunity out of Russia and allied countries. They are a continuation and refinement - ransomware was barely a blip three years ago - of more than two decades of cyber-thieving that spammed, stole credit cards and identities and emptied bank accounts. The syndicates have grown in sophistication and skill, leveraging dark web forums to organise and recruit while hiding their identities and movements with tools like the Tor browser and cryptocurrencies that make payments - and their laundering - harder to track.Ransomware scrambles a victim organisation’s data with encryption. The criminals leave instructions on infected computers for how to negotiate ransom payments and, once paid, provide software decryption keys.Last year, ransomware crooks expanded into data-theft blackmail. Before triggering encryption, they quietly exfiltrate sensitive files and threaten to expose them publicly unless ransoms are paid. Victims who diligently backed up their networks as a hedge against ransomware now had to think twice about refusing to pay. At the end of 2019, only one ransomware group had an extortion site online that would publish such files. Now more than two dozen do.Victims who refuse to pay can incur costs that far exceed the ransoms they might have negotiated. It happened recently to the University of Vermont Health Network. It suffered an estimated US$1.5mil a day in losses in the two months it took to recover. More than 5,000 hospital computers, their data scrambled into gibberish, had to be wiped clean and reconstituted from backed-up data.The University of California-San Francisco, heavily involved in Covid-19 research, barely hesitated before paying. It gave the criminals US$1.1mil last June. Manufacturers have been especially hard-hit this year, with ransoms of US$50mil demanded of computer makers Acer and Quanta, a major supplier of Apple laptops.How are these criminals organised?Some top ransomware criminals fancy themselves software service professionals. They take pride in their “customer service”, providing “help desks” that assist paying victims in file decryption. And they tend to keep their word. They have brands to protect, after all.“If they stick to their promises, future victims will be encouraged to pay up,” Maurits Lucas, director of intelligence solutions at the cybersecurity firm Intel471, told a webinar earlier this year. “As a victim you actually know their reputation.”The business tends to be compartmentalised. An affiliate will identify, map out and infect targets, choose victims and deploy ransomware that is typically “rented” from a ransomware-as-a-service provider. The provider gets a cut of the payout, the affiliate normally taking more than three-quarters. Other subcontractors may also get a slice. That can include the authors of the malware used to break into victim networks and the people running the so-called “bulletproof domains” behind which the ransomware gangs hide their “command-and-control” servers. Those servers manage the remote sowing of malware and data extraction ahead of activation, a stealthy process that can take weeks.Why do ransoms keep climbing? How can they be stopped?In Thursday’s report, the task force says it would be wrong to try to ban ransom payments, largely because “ransomware attackers continue to find sectors and elements of society that are woefully underprepared for this style of attack”.The task force recognises that paying up can be the only way for an afflicted business to avoid bankruptcy. Worse, the sophisticated cybercriminals often have done their research and know a victim’s cybersecurity insurance coverage limit. They’ve been known to mention it in negotiations.That degree of criminal savvy helped drive average ransom payments to more than US$310,000 last year, up 171% from 2019, according to Palo Alto Networks, a task force member.Not surprisingly, the still-young cyber-insurance industry is reeling. Premiums have gone up by 50% to 100% in the past year as ransomware became the No. 1 claim, said Michael Phillips, chief claims officer of Resilience Insurance and a co-chair of the task force. On average, cyber-insurance claim payouts can now exceed 70% of what is paid in premiums - prompting some insurers to drop this type of insurance altogether, industry reports show.The multi-pronged response to ransomware proposed by the task force will require the kind of concerted diplomatic, legal and law enforcement cooperation with key allies that the Trump administration shunned, displacing what the authors call the current “uncoordinated, disjointed” response.“There is no silver bullet, but if we’re going to shift the trajectory of this type of attack the US government has got to get at this with some speed,” said task force co-chair Philip Reiner, CEO of the nonprofit Institute for Security and Technology.Ransomware developers and their affiliates should be named and shamed (they are not always easy to identify) and regimes that enable them punished with sanctions, the report urges.It calls for mandatory disclosure of ransom payments and a federal “response fund” to provide financial assistance to victims - in hopes that, in many cases, it will prevent them from paying ransoms. And it wants stricter regulation of cryptocurrency markets to make it more difficult for criminals to launder ransomware proceeds.The task force also calls for something potentially controversial: amending the US Computer Fraud and Abuse Act to let private industry actively block or limit online criminal activity, including of botnets, the networks of hijacked zombie computers that ransomware criminals use to sow infections.The odds of successfully stifling ransomware are high, the report’s authors acknowledge: “The old adage that a cybercriminal only has to be lucky once, while a defender has to be lucky every minute of every day, has never been more true.”- AP
