Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin At a time when deadly global events like earthquakes, flooding, and hurricanes are on the rise we need solidarity in the international community to ensure that aid reaches those who are most vulnerable. Unfortunately we have a shortfall in global solidarity that needs strong leadership to overcome. Some organizations are standing up and setting an example for others to follow. It has been over a month since the earthquakes in Turkiye and Syria killed over 52,000 people and displaced over 5.9 million others. The massive scale of damage has left hundreds of thousands of families in need of shelter, healthcare, water and food, as well as emergency assistance. Thousands of buildings have been reduced to rubble. Hospitals - if they are still standing - are overwhelmed; food and water are scarce. In the first days following humanitarian crises, we often ask ourselves "what can I do to help?". Organizations can help address … [Read more...] about The Earthquake In Syria And Türkiye: How IOM And Its Partners Are Delivering Urgent Relief To Millions

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin MLB The Show 23 released via early access for pre-order customers on March 24. It releases for everyone else on Tuesday, March 28. After spending at least a dozen hours playing the game, here is an in-depth review of every major aspect of MLB The Show 23. Sights, Sound and Feel During the buildup for the release of MLB The Show 23, Sony San Diego didn’t dedicate any streams or social media posts to advancements in visuals. For the most part, the visual fidelity is on par with what we’ve come to expect from sports video games released in this era. That’s something that probably won’t ruffle the feathers of the vast majority of players, and it isn’t likely to be a major topic of discussion in most MLB The Show circles. A more active topic for discussion is gameplay changes. Users who didn’t get a chance to participate in the play test will immediately notice a change in fielding–specifically throwing. … [Read more...] about MLB The Show 23: The Complete Breakdown

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin With President Biden’s veto of the Congress’s bipartisan joint resolution , ESG has been one of the hottest news stories in the financial world. Beyond the politics of it, proponents and opponents of the ESG push have their own reasons for staking out their positions. Would it surprise you to learn that self-interest plays a role? What is ESG and how does it work? At its most basic core, ESG is merely an extension of placing portfolio restrictions based on subjective, rather than accounting, factors. “Explained in simplest terms, ‘ESG’ stands for environmental, social and governance which is an investing strategy that takes into account a business’s environmental and social risks as part of a broader financial analysis,” says Rob Reilly, finance faculty at the Providence College School of Business and investment consultant at North Atlantic Investment Partners in Boston.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin There has been a smoldering fire on the geopolitical stage that, if we continue to ignore, we risk allowing it to spread and burn its surrounding environment. I’m referring to the convergence of multiple technology revolutions with the high-stakes competition between the United States and a rising authoritarian competitor in China. Whichever country leads in technology will sit at the commanding heights of the global economic and trade system, geopolitics, and a new age of innovation. Ultimately, we must ensure the light we see in the future is the beacon of freedom, democratic values, liberal market principles, and private sector-led economy rather than the dangerous, destructive flames of state-led authoritarianism. We’re waking up to a five-alarm fire. Last month, I testified before the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee in a hearing titled “The United States, China, and the Fight for Global … [Read more...] about Washington Must Wake Up To The Innovation Imperative
