The latter refers to those that change how people and companies live and work globally, so compelling that it becomes the status quo. Steve Jobs did it with his iPhone (NASDAQ: AAPL), prefacing its release by saying it would change the world. A little over sixteen years later, few argue that his hunch isn't now the reality. Still, the game-changer he was, Jobs did more than usher in a communications revolution. He also helped pave the way for other companies to prove that even the most far-fetched ideas can blaze a disruptive trail to prosperity.That includes SMX, PLC. (ASX: SMX.AX), a publicly-traded company on the Australian markets intending to debut in the NASDAQ market this week. Investors should watch for its listing because, similar to how the iPhone changed the world, SMX's encoding technology will also. And valuations could surge in the process.A Bullish Proposition In-PlayThat's not an overly enthusiastic assessment considering that its technology can provide a means to track millions of products and materials through an entire lifecycle. More specifically, by microscopically encoding raw materials, SMX is the first and only known company providing brands and manufacturers the ability to meet the demands of sustainability, accountability, and transparency through a unique trackable marking system.The technology is remarkable, with the most powerful aspect being that SMX has developed a way to augment materials to granular detail to prove their provenance, purity, and integrity. Its technology does more than instill transparency; it allows companies and industries to gain the intelligence needed to work in more intelligent and productive ways by linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse, and reuse again to realize the potential of materials.It's a system perfectly designed and equipped to serve the 21st-century economy that empowers businesses to maximize their presence in the real-world circular economy.An Invisible And Powerful SolutionFrankly, the encoding technology is so innovative and, in some respects, difficult to comprehend it's hard to explain just how powerful and disruptive it will be. And it's not a matter of "if" anymore, but instead, "how soon" will businesses integrate this technology and utilize this invisible solution to transform their business into an intelligent ecosystem, putting sustainability and accountability at the heart of what they do. Logic dictates the answer to that question is "sooner than later."In fact, by empowering companies at a molecular level, SMX is already driving that change by enabling its clients to capitalize on their inherent power and transforming their mission by coordinating ecosystems that work as a united whole. It's a competitive advantage that is perpetuating unprecedented growth at SMX.And it's unlikely that its competitive distance will shrink, noting that SMX is advancing its own potent, patent-protected technology. At its core, it provides multiple-stages and multiple-loops traceability, with a resilient SMX marker and blockchain platform designed to ensure that data is never compromised or lost, enabling more accurate and reliable traceability as the material is recycled/reused multiple times. That's not all.It facilitates enhanced data flow and circularity. The SMX marker enables client data to be stored at a molecular level within products and materials, allowing for increased transparency of marked content for greater granularity, ease of recycling, accountability, and security.As exciting, SMX markers provide knowledge-gathering potential, with the SMX reader designed to enable easy data gathering at any point within the supply chain without affecting the product or material, eliminate blind spots, and provide unprecedented transparency. The best news- the revenue-generating potential from this mind-boggling technology is enormous, noting that the unique SMX marker can be applied to any material, expanding its use case for any sector needing anti-counterfeit, brand protection, client liability, and track and trace technology.It does even more. SMX's suite of integrated solutions solves both authentication and track and trace challenges to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. For brands and industry, it's a production and management game-changer.Multiple Applications For SMX Turn-Key TechnologyBetter still, it's an easy-to-implement turn-key solution utilizing a sub-molecular hidden 'marker' system and a unique 'reader,' facilitating a 'blockchain record' providing transparency and authentication that creates an auditable closed-loop supply chain. And there are few, if any, market exclusions. It's active in chemistry, plastics, electronics, precious metals & minerals, food & beverage, and agriculture markets. That's helped SMX engage in impressive global collaborations, including BASF SE (OTC Other: BASFY) for chemicals, the Perth Mint for precious metals, and SMX-B for wine applications. On an even broader scale, the technology can be used for seed to harvest, food security, and to enable meeting ESG standards. There's more.The future of sustainable "fashion" is creating desirable narratives connecting tangible, sustainable ESG practices with the fashion industry by tracking, tracing, authenticating, and verifying both physically and digitally, each stage along the value chain. That includes following the raw materials through the manufacturing supply chain to distribution, retail, and end-of-life. Put another way, it enables full supply chain transparency and measurably and credibly tangible, sustainable circularity. And it's all tracked and recorded with an invisible marker and scanner.The SMX mission is doing something else. It is leading the charge away from global and traditional "take-make-dispose of" economic models to one regenerative by design to retain as much value as possible from resources, products, parts, and materials. The result is intended to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.Companies committed to the circular economy, like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Visa (NYSE: V), and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), are sure to embrace the technology. But they are just three of thousands, even millions, of brands rethinking products and services based on durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, refurbishment, and reduced material use. That totality of interests puts SMX in an enviable position.No Shortage Of OpportunitiesAnd it's a massive opportunity they are capitalizing on, resulting from SMX technology being able to mark solid, liquid, or gas objects in multiple layers. Moreover, it utilizes a combination of 500,000+ marker molecules to help make each mark unique, designed not to change the material's composition, quality, and characteristics such as color, weight, taste, and smell. Those markings are recognized through a patented sensitive reader, which receives a response signal from a marker embedded in the item within seconds without having to destroy the product or send the item to a special lab for testing. Impressively, the data received shows processes through the supply chain, including transfer of ownership to prove authenticity and quality assurance.That's invaluable information. Global counterfeit and pirated goods sales are estimated at $500 billion annually. But in addition to brands utilizing SMX to protect product and image integrity, SMX is tapping into a more enormous opportunity, the circular economy. It's an estimated $4.5 trillion opportunity in the U.S. alone, presenting the potential for expedited company growth by accelerating client brands towards a committed practice of contributing to a sustainable future. Other markets include the Global Plastic Recycling Market, estimated to reach $60.7 billion by 2025, and global textile waste, expected to reach 148 million tons annually by 2030.Thus, an irrefutable case can be made that SMX is doing the right things at the right time. Most important, however, is that they have developed world-changing technology to advance and fuel a global sustainability mission. The better news for SMX, investors, and the global population; if all goes as expected, SMX can do for sustainability and accountability practices what Apple did for communications technology- positively impact a global landscape.Disclaimers: Hawk Point Media Group, Llc. is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

Markets Game-Changing Encoding Technology To Enhance And ...txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Steve Jobs made a claim in 2007, saying that his newest product would change how people worldwide live and communicate. Fast forward sixteen years later, and it's easy to argue that his iPhone (NASDAQ: AAPL) did more than substantiate his vision; it also revolutionized the global communications landscape. The game-changer he was, Jobs' legacy lives on. In fact, more than ushering in a communications revolution, he is responsible for enabling other companies to prove that even the most far-fetched ideas can blaze a disruptive trail to prosperity.That includes SMX, PLC. (ASX: SMX.AX), a publicly-traded company on the Australian markets, which is expected to make its NASDAQ debut on Wednesday. Like Jobs' contributions to communications, SMX's can also be a global game changer in sustainability, and that's no exaggeration. Its innovative technology does what no other can by offering a system that can uniquely verify material origination, allowing companies to tangibly demonstrate their commitment to sustainable and ethical sourcing & ESG practices. But more than a record, it's a transparent, credible, and measurable way to identify and verify product and material makeup in real time without destroying the finished product.That explanation may make the technology sound simple. But don't under-appreciate what's put into play by SMX. By using SMX's molecular marking technology and its digital twin blockchain platform, companies can efficiently sort, reclaim and potentially reuse the raw materials(solid, liquid, or gas)in their products when it reaches their end lifecycle. That reduces the number of virgin materials required to re-produce, reduces waste sent to landfills, can significantly reduce carbon emissions, and facilitates meeting consumers' and stakeholders' sustainability & ESG expectations. The best news- SMX's technology is applicable across a wide range of materials besides plastics, including metals, gold, and textiles.And that does more than put massive revenue-generating opportunities in SMX's near-term crosshairs; it could put a new generational investment opportunity in play.Opportunity In A Generational TradeThat's not an overly enthusiastic assessment considering that its technology can provide a means to track millions of products and materials through an entire lifecycle. More specifically, by microscopically encoding raw materials, SMX is the first and only known company providing brands and manufacturers the ability to meet the demands of sustainability, accountability, and transparency through a unique trackable marking system.The technology is remarkable, with the most powerful aspect being that SMX has developed a way to augment materials to granular detail to prove their provenance, purity, and integrity. Its technology does more than instill transparency; it allows companies and industries to gain the intelligence needed to work in more intelligent and productive ways by linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse, and reuse again to realize the potential of materials.It's a system perfectly designed and equipped to serve the 21st-century economy that empowers businesses to maximize their presence in the real-world circular economy.Powerful Solution Microscopic In SizeFrankly, the encoding technology is so innovative and, in some respects, difficult to comprehend it's hard to explain just how powerful and disruptive it will be. And it's not a matter of "if" anymore, but instead, "how soon" will businesses integrate this technology and utilize this invisible solution to transform their business into an intelligent ecosystem, putting sustainability and accountability at the heart of what they do. Logic dictates the answer to that question is "sooner than later."In fact, by empowering companies at a molecular level, SMX is already driving that change by enabling its clients to capitalize on their inherent power and transforming their mission by coordinating ecosystems that work as a united whole. It's a competitive advantage that is perpetuating unprecedented growth at SMX.And it's unlikely that its competitive distance will shrink, noting that SMX is advancing its own potent, patent-protected technology. At its core, it provides multiple-stages and multiple-loops traceability, with a resilient SMX marker and blockchain platform designed to ensure that data is never compromised or lost, enabling more accurate and reliable traceability as the material is recycled/reused multiple times. That's not all.It facilitates enhanced data flow and circularity. The SMX marker enables client data to be stored at a molecular level within products and materials, allowing for increased transparency of marked content for greater granularity, ease of recycling, accountability, and security.As exciting, SMX markers provide knowledge-gathering potential, with the SMX reader designed to enable easy data gathering at any point within the supply chain without affecting the product or material, eliminate blind spots, and provide unprecedented transparency. The best news- the revenue-generating potential from this mind-boggling technology is enormous, noting that the unique SMX marker can be applied to any material, expanding its use case for any sector needing anti-counterfeit, brand protection, client liability, and track and trace technology.It does even more. SMX's suite of integrated solutions solves both authentication and track and trace challenges to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. For brands and industry, it's a production and management game-changer.SMX Turn-Key Technology Targets Broad DemandBetter still, it's an easy-to-implement turn-key solution utilizing a sub-molecular hidden 'marker' system and a unique 'reader,' facilitating a 'blockchain record' providing transparency and authentication that creates an auditable closed-loop supply chain. And there are few, if any, market exclusions. It's active in chemistry, plastics, electronics, precious metals & minerals, food & beverage, and agriculture markets. That's helped SMX engage in impressive global collaborations, including BASF SE (OTC Other: BASFY) for chemicals, the Perth Mint for precious metals, and SMX-B for wine applications. On an even broader scale, the technology can be used for seed to harvest, food security, and to enable meeting ESG standards. There's more.The future of sustainable "fashion" is creating desirable narratives connecting tangible, sustainable ESG practices with the fashion industry by tracking, tracing, authenticating, and verifying both physically and digitally, each stage along the value chain. That includes following the raw materials through the manufacturing supply chain to distribution, retail, and end-of-life. Put another way, it enables full supply chain transparency and measurably and credibly tangible, sustainable circularity. And it's all tracked and recorded with an invisible marker and scanner.The SMX mission is doing something else. It is leading the charge away from global and traditional "take-make-dispose of" economic models to one regenerative by design to retain as much value as possible from resources, products, parts, and materials. The result is intended to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.Companies committed to the circular economy, like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Visa (NYSE: V), and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), are sure to embrace the technology. But they are just three of thousands, even millions, of brands rethinking products and services based on durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, refurbishment, and reduced material use. That totality of interests puts SMX in an enviable position.Seizing Upon Global Market OpportunitiesAnd it's a massive opportunity they are capitalizing on, resulting from SMX technology being able to mark solid, liquid, or gas objects in multiple layers. Moreover, it utilizes a combination of 500,000+ marker molecules to help make each mark unique, designed not to change the material's composition, quality, and characteristics such as color, weight, taste, and smell. Those markings are recognized through a patented sensitive reader, which receives a response signal from a marker embedded in the item within seconds without having to destroy the product or send the item to a special lab for testing. Impressively, the data received shows processes through the supply chain, including transfer of ownership to prove authenticity and quality assurance.That's invaluable information. Global counterfeit and pirated goods sales are estimated at $500 billion annually. But in addition to brands utilizing SMX to protect product and image integrity, SMX is tapping into a more enormous opportunity, the circular economy. It's an estimated $4.5 trillion opportunity in the U.S. alone, presenting the potential for expedited company growth by accelerating client brands towards a committed practice of contributing to a sustainable future. Other markets include the Global Plastic Recycling Market, estimated to reach $60.7 billion by 2025, and global textile waste, expected to reach 148 million tons annually by 2030.Thus, an irrefutable case can be made that SMX is doing the right things at the right time. Most important, however, is that they have developed world-changing technology to advance and fuel a global sustainability mission. The better news for SMX, investors, and the global population; if all goes as expected, SMX can do for sustainability and accountability practices what Apple did for communications technology- positively impact a global landscape.Disclaimers: Hawk Point Media Group, Llc. is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

SVB was seeking funding to make up for the sale of a $21 billion loss-making bond portfolio, a result of surging rates. Central banks meanwhile are shrinking their balance sheets by offloading bond holdings as part of their fight against hot inflation. We look at some potential pressure points.1/ BANKSBank have shot up the worry list as the SVB rout hit bank stocks globally on contagion fears. JPMorgan and BofA shares fell over 5% on Thursday, European banks slid on Friday.SVB's troubles stem from deposit outflows due to heavy spending by clients in the tech and healthcare sectors, raising questions over whether other banks would have to cover deposit outflows with loss-making bond sales too. In February, U.S. regulators said U.S. banks had unrealised losses of more than $620 billion on securities, underscoring the hit from rising interest rates.Germany's Commerzbank issued a rare statement playing down any threat from SVB.For now, analysts saw SVB's issues as idiosyncratic and took comfort from safer business models at larger banks. BofA noted European banks' bond holdings have not grown since 2015."Normally speaking, banks would not be taking big duration bets with deposits, but with such rapid rate rises it is clear why investors could be worried and are selling now and asking questions later," said Gary Kirk, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management.

Google spokesperson José Castañeda said the company appreciates the decision and looks forward to making its case at the lower court. A Cisco spokesperson said the ruling reinforces that the PTO's patent review proceedings are "an important vehicle to preserve a balanced patent system, protect innovation, and assure patent quality in the United States."Representatives for the other plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The PTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board is popular with big tech companies that are often targeted with patent lawsuits and that use the board's "inter partes review" process to contest patents they are accused of infringing. An internal rule that gave the agency's judges greater discretion to deny inter partes review petitions "dramatically reduced access" to the process, the companies told the appeals court.Apple, Google, Cisco, Intel Corp and Edwards Lifesciences Corp sued the PTO in the California federal court in 2020 over the rule. They argued it undermined the role inter partes review plays in "protecting a strong patent system" and violated federal law. Companies including Tesla, Honda, Comcast and Dell filed briefs at the Federal Circuit in support of the plaintiffs.The California court dismissed the case in 2021, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions on whether to review inter partes review petitions cannot be appealed. The Federal Circuit also rejected the companies' arguments that the rule was arbitrary and violated U.S. patent law. But the three-judge panel said the PTO may have been required to hold a period of public notice and comment before making the rule, and that it could be challenged based on that argument.The case is Apple Inc v.

The first was the exclusivity decision squashed by the Court," he told the General Court.He said the 3G baseband chipsets singled out in the case accounted for just 0.7% of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) market and thus it was not possible for Qualcomm to shut out rivals from the chipset market."What price should Qualcomm have charged for each chipset and each quarter to allow it to pass the price cost test?"

"Pre-installed apps can be a weak security point and we want to ensure no foreign nations, including China, are exploiting it. It's a matter of national security," the official added.India has ramped up scrutiny of Chinese businesses since a 2020 border clash between the neighbours, banning more than 300 Chinese apps, including TikTok. It has also intensified scrutiny of investments by Chinese firms.Globally too, many nations have imposed restrictions on the use of technology from Chinese firms like Huawei and Hikvision on fears Beijing could use them to spy on foreign citizens. China denies these allegations.Currently, most smartphones come with pre-installed apps that cannot be deleted, such as Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi's app store GetApps, Samsung's payment app Samsung Pay mini and iPhone maker Apple's browser Safari.Under the new rules, smartphone makers will have to provide an uninstall option and new models will be checked for compliance by a lab authorized by the Bureau of Indian Standards agency, two people with knowledge of the plan said.The government is also considering mandating screening of every major operating system update before it is rolled out to consumers, one of the people said."Majority of smartphones used in India are having pre-installed Apps/Bloatware which poses serious privacy/information security issue(s)," stated a Feb. 8 confidential government record of an IT ministry meeting, seen by Reuters.The closed-door meeting was attended by representatives from Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and Vivo, the meeting record shows.The government has decided to give smartphone makers a year to comply once the rule comes into effect, the date for which has not been fixed yet, the document added.The companies and India's IT ministry did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.'MASSIVE HINDRANCE'India's fast-growing smartphone market is dominated by Chinese players, with Xiaomi and BBK Electronics' Vivo and Oppo accounting for almost half of all sales, Counterpoint data shows. South Korea's Samsung has a 20% share and Apple has 3%. While European Union regulations require allowing removal of pre-installed apps, it does not have a screening mechanism to check for compliance like India is considering. An industry executive said some pre-installed apps like the camera are critical to user experience and the government must make a distinction between these and non-essential ones when imposing screening rules.Smartphone players often sell their devices with proprietary apps, but also sometimes pre-install others with which they have monetisation agreements. The other worry is more testing could prolong approval timelines for smartphones, a second industry executive said. Currently it takes about 21 weeks for a smartphone and its parts to be tested by the government agency for safety compliance."It's a massive hindrance to a company's go-to market strategy," the executive said.

Strengthened rules on banks in the $100 billion to $250 billion range could ape those for larger more systemic banks and involve stringent capital and liquidity requirements or beefed up annual "stress tests".Even though reports abounded of depositor flight from the smaller weaker banks to the larger financial firms, stock prices in the sector at large caught a breath. That continued in Asia on Wednesday, although Europe's bank stocks and wider bourses stayed in the red and U.S. futures were a touch lower. The VIX equity volatility gauge hugged Tuesday's close at 23.Apart from fresh Credit Suisse angst, another reason for the persistent trepidation in Europe was signals from central bank sources that the European Central Bank would push ahead with a hefty half-point interest rate rise at its policymaking meeting on Thursday. If the ECB stays the course and the Fed follows suit next week, anxiety about further banking ructions may return - or at least see further wild volatility in rates markets that could end up having similar effects.

South Korea's Samsung launched products to meet those aspirations and offered innovative financing schemes that made them affordable to most. Those moves have helped Samsung wrest leadership of India's competitive mobile phones market from Xiaomi, with data from Hong Kong-based Counterpoint Research showing it had a 20% market share for the last quarter of 2022 compared to the Chinese company's 18%."The Indian market is witnessing a 'premiumisation' trend. (But) Xiaomi has been caught underprepared for the shift with a budget phones-heavy portfolio," said Tarun Pathak, a research director at Counterpoint.The loosening of Xiaomi's vice-like grip on the 626 million Indian smartphone users - the second biggest after China - shows how companies that fail to cater to changing consumer preferences in a fast-growing economy with rising disposable incomes are being punished.Most famously in India, Tata Motors' 100,000 rupees ($1,200) Nano, billed as the world's cheapest car, was shunned by consumers who associated the low price tag with inferior quality.Indians' push for more expensive mobile phones to consume videos and other content will also benefit social media app providers such as Meta, and iPhone maker Apple Inc, which so far has a tiny market share in the country due to its sole focus on high-end phones, priced from $605 to as high as $2,304, according to its website.According to Counterpoint, the market share of the sub-$120 phones in India fell to 26% in 2022 from 41% two years ago. And premium phones - priced above 30,000 ($360) - saw their share double to 11% in the same period.Xiaomi and Samsung both count India as a key growth market, with smartphones their top selling electronic device. The Chinese company recorded total revenue of $4.8 billion in 2021-22 in India, while Samsung registered $10.3 billion in sales, of which $6.7 billion came from smartphones.Xiaomi, though, is already facing heat in India due to the departures of at least five senior executives, and increased government scrutiny amid frosty relations with neighbouring China. The company has $674 million of its funds frozen by the country's financial crime agency for alleged illegal remittances to foreign entities, which Xiaomi denies.A Reuters check on product listings on Xiaomi's website showed the mismatch between consumer needs and the products the company has been offering. Xiaomi showed six smartphones priced above $360, compared with Samsung's 16. Under $120, Samsung had seven models, while Xiaomi listed 39 - most of which were shown to be out-of-stock.And premium phones accounted for only 0%-1% of Xiaomi's total India phone shipments in the last two years, when Samsung's higher-end phones more than doubled their share to 13%, Counterpoint data showed.But Xiaomi, which has acknowledged it introduced "too many" models in the past, is revamping its product line-up to focus on premium smartphones.It launched in January the Redmi Note 12 whose top-end variant is priced above 30,000 rupees, and more recently the Xiaomi 13 Pro at 79,999 rupees ($970) - its highest priced phone in India. The strategic shift seems to have paid immediate dividends, with the Redmi Note 12 clocking sales of $61 million within two weeks of its launch."We have laid out a streamlined and cleaner portfolio with a focused approach to building expertise in the premium segment, and the launch of our latest flagship, Xiaomi 13 Pro, is a step in that direction," said its India President Muralikrishnan B. "We understand that we have a long way to go in this journey, and therefore are bringing in much stronger products." Graphic: How Samsung gained India's market leader crown https://www.reuters.com/graphics/INDIA-SMARTPHONES/SAMSUNG-XIAOMI/movakqajjva/Xiaomi_vs_Samsung_Final.jpgLOANS FOR PHONESA Samsung scheme, run with its financing partners that says it offers "convenient and assured" loans, played a significant part in its recent success in India, helping generate $1 billion in device sales last year. A poster of Samsung's offering that Reuters spotted on a dusty street used by fruit sellers in Uttar Pradesh state said that even those with no loan history, low credit scores or without salary slips could get a phone. Sanjeev Kumar Verma, owner of a nearby multi-brand phone shop, has benefitted from the company's loan scheme. Speaking to Reuters in his shop, where hundreds of phones are stacked on shelves, Verma said he used to sell five Samsung phones each month, but has quadrupled that to 20 now, 18 of which are via the loan scheme.Verma, and another smartphone vendor in Mumbai, said that unlike rivals, Samsung required no local address proof, making it easier for migrant workers or those working outside their home state to acquire phones on loans. Samsung did not comment on the remarks by the vendors.The growth in premium segment phones was much higher in small towns than in big cities, Samsung's India mobile unit head Raju Pullan told Reuters in February, adding almost half the consumers who opted for its financing scheme were first-time loan seekers.Samsung says its financing app installed on smartphones can lock the device and block outgoing calls for missing loan payments.Xiaomi has also tapped partnerships to offer loans, calling them a key growth driver for sales of phones priced above 15,000 rupees ($183) and adding it will explore more such offerings.Muralikrishnan said the company will also open more stores beyond its current network of 20,000 retail partners, and boost local procurement of mobile phone parts, likely reducing costs.Some industry analysts said the new strategy could help the Chinese company return to solid growth in India. "Xiaomi has historically enjoyed a strong brand equity, has a robust online and offline channel presence, and can spring a comeback with a potentially strong premium and value-for-money product mix," said Prabhu Ram, head of industry intelligence at CyberMedia Research.

"Helicopters is one of the things the companies hope to sell to the Vietnamese," Thanh said, although he cautioned that defence deals took time to be completed and no immediate breakthrough was expected.Boeing said in a statement that its discussions with officials would focus on its growing partnership with Vietnam and ways to strengthen the country's aviation and defence capabilities.Lockheed Martin and Bell did not respond to requests for comment.

Participants will have meetings with Vietnam's top political and regulatory leadership, including with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.Thanh said some companies were interested in Vietnam as a manufacturing hub and in providing services to increasingly wealthy consumers at a time when economic growth reached more than 8% last year.Among them is SpaceX, which is looking to sell its satellite internet services to Vietnam and other countries in the region, Thanh said. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment.The mission will also include semiconductors companies, pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, medical device maker Abbott, financial firms Visa and Citibank, internet and cloud companies Meta and Amazon Web Services, the list showed.

A tumultuous week has seen banking shares sold off in light of the Silicon Valley Bank collapse and liquidity worries at Credit Suisse. Shares mounted a recovery on Thursday and are set for a decent open on Friday but are still on track for a weekly loss. IG says futures indicate the FTSE 100 index of large-caps to open 45.2 points higher, 0.6%, at 7,455.23 on Friday. It had closed up 65.58 points, or 0.9% at 7,410.03 on Thursday. The FTSE 100 has lost 4.4% so far this week. Shares in Asia ended higher. The Nikkei 225 in Tokyo rose 1.2% and the S&P/ASX 200 in Sydney added 0.5%. In China, the Shanghai Composite was 0.4% higher in late trade, while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong was up 1.1%. In New York on Thursday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average surged by 1.2%, the S&P 500 by 1.8% and the Nasdaq Composite by 2.5%. "After the opening cash catch-up to US markets, it turned into a relatively normal day here in Asia stocks so far. The market remains cautious; traders do not want to get overexcited, especially with investors still focusing on what can go wrong instead of what could go right," SPI Asset Management analyst Stephen Innes commented."Granted, there is still a considerable element of headline risk, especially over the weekend when traders can't react, which could again upset the proverbial apple cart on Monday morning open. Not to mention, the uncertainty around the Fed policy reaction function is keeping rates volatility elevated."The Federal Reserve has lent US banks nearly USD12 billion under a new one-year lending program unveiled Sunday, as authorities moved to ease stress on the financial system after Silicon Valley Bank's collapse.The total outstanding amount of all advances under the Bank Term Funding Program reached USD11.9 billion by Wednesday, the US central bank announced in a statement on Thursday.The Fed had unveiled the scheme alongside the Treasury and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp on Sunday night, as authorities looked to prevent other banks from running into the liquidity issues that ultimately doomed California's SVB.In addition, some of the largest US banks have banded together to deposit USD30 billion into First Republic in an attempt to bolster its finances and contain the fallout from the collapse of two major lenders in the past week. JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi and Wells Fargo are among those providing the funds. First Republic shares, already supported by news that the Swiss National Bank had stepped in to offer liquidity to embattled Swiss lender, Credit Suisse, added 10% in New York on Thursday. US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the banking system remains sound despite market anxiety. Away from banking sector turmoil, eurozone inflation figures will be in focus at 1000 GMT on Friday, in light on the European Central Bank's decision to stick to the script and lift rates by 50 basis points. ECB President Christine Lagarde implied there is still work to be done in the fight against inflation, but offered little in the way of forward guidance.

The gatekeepers - companies that control data and platform access - are subject to a list of do's, such as making their messaging services interoperable, and don'ts, including not favouring their products and services on their platforms.The list of gatekeepers to which the DMA will apply is due to be announced on Sept. 6 and will likely include Alphabet's Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.Those disagreeing with the label and requirements are likely to take their complaint to the Luxembourg-based General Court within months, its president Marc van der Woude said. The General Court is part of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and deals with cases ranging from competition law to trade and the environment. "Probably the end of this year, beginning of next year we might see the first cases and I don't think it will stop," he told a conference organised by the European Commission.Some, like Google and Apple, have lobbied intensively against the DMA. "We remain concerned that some provisions of the DMA will create unnecessary privacy and security vulnerabilities for our users while others will prohibit us from charging for intellectual property in which we invest a great deal," it said in March 2022.Google has echoed those sentiments, and said it was also concerned that the new rules could reduce innovation.But van der Woude said the DMA was still evolving. "It's a living organism, this DMA, it's under constant review, obligations will be reviewed and implementing acts. So if I might call it like this, it will be a lawyer's paradise," he said.He said areas of dispute will likely focus on the gatekeeper designation, specifications of their obligations and during enforcement of the DMA.A contentious area is likely to be the requirement on gatekeepers to notify their acquisitions to the Commission and whether such deals meet the threshold for regulatory scrutiny, van der Woude said.($1 = 0.9403 euros) (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)By Foo Yun Chee \ No newline at end of file diff --git "a/news/AAPL/2023.03.20/Robin Peddieson's New Book, \"Princess,\" Follows a Clinical Psychologist Who Begins to Q...txt" "b/news/AAPL/2023.03.20/Robin Peddieson's New Book, \"Princess,\" Follows a Clinical Psychologist Who Begins to Q...txt" new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..aa2e805996cab8e0ac45391e79094af1e4e3013a --- /dev/null +++ "b/news/AAPL/2023.03.20/Robin Peddieson's New Book, \"Princess,\" Follows a Clinical Psychologist Who Begins to Q...txt" @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ +Recent release “Princess: She’s no ordinary princess.

A Meta spokesperson confirmed Levy's departure and said business messaging would remain a strategic priority and area of investment for the company this year.Levy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Levy has been at Meta for 14 years. The business messaging project he heads has been flagged by Zuckerberg for growth potential, although he was replaced last year as overall head of ad and business products.Previously, Levy ran Meta's ads and business products division, now called Monetization. He was replaced in that role last year by John Hegeman, another long-time executive who had managed ads product under Levy and, in his new role, became Levy's boss.That larger unit oversaw Meta's adaptation to Apple Inc's iOS privacy changes in 2021, a costly disruption that cut Meta's access to the valuable user data around which it had built its targeted advertising business.The division has tried to build in-app commerce features to make up for that "signal loss," while also using artificial intelligence to improve ad targeting precision, with mixed success.Executives see business messaging as another part of the solution, as it could finally monetize the popular chat app WhatsApp, which Meta bought for $22 billion in 2014 but has yet to produce significant revenue.Zuckerberg has said the business line - in which brands pay to use Meta's WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram chat services to sell products and manage customer interactions - is likely to be the company's "next major pillar" of sales growth.Levy's departure comes amid a difficult season for Meta, which last week announced a second major round of layoffs tied to a restructuring plan to kill off lower-priority projects and "flatten" layers of middle management.Another ads VP on the sales side, Michelle Klein, also announced this week that she was leaving. She led a marketing unit of around 1,000 people and steered the company's rebranding from Facebook to Meta, according to her LinkedIn profile.Meta likewise confirmed her departure. Klein did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The first source, however, said the new factory will be smaller than the first one.Apple Inc has bet big on the South Asian nation since it began iPhone assembly in the country in 2017 via Wistron and later Foxconn, in line with the Indian government's push for local manufacturing.

In that period, the S&P 500 has fallen 0.5%. Megagaps are attracting bets because of strong balance sheets, robust profit margins and business models expected to hold up better if recession hits, investors said. A recent pullback in U.S. bond yields, whose ascent punished growth stocks last year, is also buoying their prices in 2023. But their strength could have drawbacks. Megacaps' growing market capitalization means indexes such as the S&P 500 are increasingly driven by a smaller cluster of stocks. That could spur volatility in broader markets if circumstances change and investors make a quick exit from big tech and growth names."The view from investors is that technology companies are in a better place to get through an uncertain period of time," said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, which is overweight the tech sector. However, "when you have crowding you could see a sharp reversal out of nowhere because everyone is in the same area."Strength in megacaps also cloaks weakness elsewhere. Measures of market breadth have turned more negative, while the equal-weighted S&P 500, a proxy for the average stock in the benchmark index, is down over 5% since March.Investors are bracing for more banking sector volatility next week, after sharp declines in shares of European giants Deutsche Bank and UBS on Friday followed the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier this month. Upcoming U.S. data on consumer confidence and inflation could also sway markets.Megacaps led the U.S. market in the decade following the financial crisis and spearheaded Wall Street's blistering rebound after the selloff in early 2020 fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. But they tumbled last year, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight 40-year high inflation.Their rebound this year accelerated as concerns over the banking system spiked, and the combined weight of Apple and Microsoft in the S&P 500 recently topped 13%. That was the highest in over 30 years for any top two stocks in the index, according to Todd Sohn, technical strategist at Strategas.The weight of the top five S&P 500 companies has rebounded to 21.7% from 18.8% for the top five stocks at the end of 2022. As megacaps have rallied, some indicators of breadth, which technical analysts view as gauges of broad market health, have darkened recently. The number of new 52-week lows on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was on pace to eclipse new highs for three straight weeks, a reversal after new highs had topped new lows almost every week to start 2023, according to Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Hi Mount Research.Further, the percentage of industry groups tracked by Delwiche above their 10-week moving averages has plummeted from 87% in early February to 7% in the latest week."After some hopeful signs earlier this year, it's evidence that the pattern of weakness beneath the surface that we saw last year is re-emerging," Delwiche said. "We need to see better participation if the indexes are going to be able to sustain the next leg higher."The performance of megacaps could suffer if banking worries ease and investors scoop up economically sensitive stocks that have struggled. The S&P 500 energy sector is down 7.5% since March 8, while the industrials sector is off 5%.A rebound in U.S. bond yields could pressure tech and growth stocks. Earnings growth in the tech sector, meanwhile, is expected to trail the overall S&P 500 in 2023.Nevertheless, some investors are bullish on megacap stocks.

In turn, he said, that likely means "the big-cap growth stocks will be the ones who lead from here."

Firefighters initially thought there was one person missing in the blaze Thursday in the eastern Canadian city. However, reports emerged later of illegal Airbnb units in the more than 130-year-old building, and authorities updated the missing over the weekend to seven, including some from the United States. Montreal police reported pulling the body of a woman from the rubble Sunday evening.Montreal police Inspector David Shane said the six who are still missing are from Quebec, Ontario and the U.S., adding that investigators have contacted their families. The fire also injured nine people, including two who were hospitalized.The cause of the fire is being investigated.Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante said the building included illegal Airbnb units as well as an architect’s office. Plante said Airbnb should have demanded that unit owners provide a permit number from the Quebec provincial government.“What happened here is a complete tragedy,” Plante said. “Clearly, we would not be in this position if we had been dealing with a company that took its responsibilities seriously and said to these owners ‘You don’t have a certificate, you cannot rent your unit.’” And that would force people who want to act illegally and don’t pay taxes to not escape their responsibilities.”Plante said she planned to work with the Quebec provincial government to tighten regulations on short-term rentals.Firefighters have said several apartments in the building were being used as Airbnb rentals, and police they didn’t know how many of the missing were tourists. San Francisco-based Airbnb is “washing its hands” of the problem of illegal rentals in cities across Quebec, Plante said. Nathan Rotman, Airbnb's regional policy lead for Canada, said in a emailed statement: “We are assisting law enforcement as they investigate. We are also engaged with the mayor’s office." Alexandre Bergevin, a lawyer for the building’s owner — Emile-Haim Benamor — said on Sunday that Airbnb rentals in the building were not being operated by his client but by tenants, adding that steps had been taken to stop the practice.Montreal fire operations chief Martin Guilbault said firefighters would begin dismantling the second and third floors of the building Monday.Shane said the police force’s fire unit used a drone to help locate the body of the woman that was removed Sunday.“The assumption is that there are six more people inside,” Shane said. “The different steps we’ve taken (suggest) these people who are still missing are probably in the rubble, unfortunately.”City officials said Airbnb-style, short-term rentals are illegal in the Old Montreal neighborhood where the building is located. The fire took place at the Édifice William-Watson-Ogilvie, built in 1890, the city said. Bergevin said in a text message Sunday that the alarm system had been replaced in 2019 and was regularly tested.Shane said no one has been charged in connection with the fire and that the cause remains under investigation.

She said the company, which operates an online marketplace for short-term rentals, should ensure people listing their properties on the website have proper permits.“Short-term rental platforms cannot just say that they are the 'housing marketplace' and then wash their hands of it afterwards,” Plante said. “If they want to be responsible corporate citizens, they have to help us enforce Quebec law and borough regulations."It's not normal to have a business that doesn't worry about the legitimacy of the people who do business with it, and who puts the responsibility on municipal and provincial instances — so taxpayers pay. When you think about it, it's totally absurd."Later on Monday, Quebec Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx visited the burnt-out structure and told reporters that the building was hosting illegal rentals."Here, they are illegal," she said, pointing at the charred building behind her. "They are outside of the zone delineated by the borough (for rentals)." She said the province is bringing in new legislation to further regulate short-term rentals.In 2018, Airbnb-style short-term rentals were made illegal in the area where the building is located. The city confirmed that only 10 establishments in Old Montreal have permits. However, a quick search of Airbnb's website on Monday afternoon showed hundreds of listings in the area.Plante said she communicated with Airbnb's lead in Canada and asked them to forbid rentals for people without a valid permit from Quebec's Revenue Department, which oversees the short-term rental industry. She said she also asked the province for more inspectors.However, she said the problem is hard for governments to tackle, in part because Airbnb listings don't include addresses.On Monday, Airbnb's regional policy lead for Canada said the company was providing support to those affected and assisting law enforcement. "We are also engaged with the mayor's office," Nathan Rotman wrote in a statement.Firefighters on Monday began dismantling the second and third floor of the historic building — called Édifice William-Watson-Ogilvie — which was constructed in 1890. At least seven people were reported missing and the body of one woman was pulled from the rubble on Sunday.On Monday, a crane and bucket were used to raise workers to inspect the upper storeys of the building, where parts of the roof have collapsed. A few citizens, including friends of the victims, stopped by to lay flowers outside the barricaded site.Police Chief Fady Dagher told reporters there could be more victims. At minimum, he said, the investigation could take two weeks.Montreal police Insp. David Shane said earlier on Monday the police force's fire unit used a drone to find the body. Shane said the six people missing are from Quebec, Ontario and the United States, adding that investigators have contacted their families.The fire also injured nine people, including two who remained hospitalized as of Monday.Alexandre Bergevin, a lawyer for the building's owner — Emile-Haim Benamor — said on Sunday that Airbnb rentals in the building were not being operated by his client but by tenants, adding that steps had been taken to stop the practice.

(City officials said short-term rentals are illegal in Old Montreal, with 10 establishments authorized to operate, having been grandfathered in. Yet Airbnb lists more than 1,000 places for rent.)Scan the online reviews for any safety concerns.On arrival, confirm that smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are in place, and test them. Guests can even bring their own just in case.Look out for flammable materials near a gas stove, such as curtains or paper towels.Check the house manual for an evacuation plan, and map out an escape plan.For hosts:Airbnb suggests operators install carbon monoxide alarms near every sleeping area, and smoke alarms on every level as well as outside each bedroom "at a minimum." Check the batteries at least twice a year. Rentals must comply with all local safety regulations — on fire escapes and emergency exits, for example.Install fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage and on every floor "if possible." Put stickers on doors and cabinets where they're located to make them easier to find.In the house manual, lay out an evacuation plan that includes two ways to exit each room and a place to meet outside.Ensure proper ventilation and regular inspection of household appliances such as gas stoves, water heaters, ovens and charcoal grills. Wood and coal stoves, fireplaces and furnaces should be cleaned by professionals once a year, the company says.Remind guests in the house manual that they should never use a grill or camp stove indoors — for warmth or other reasons. If there are space heaters, choose a model that turns off when tipped over. Make sure wires and cables are in good condition.Rising demandShort-term rentals have surged over the past year, as consumers return to travel after more than two years of COVID-19-related restrictions.Now, even as high inflation and interest rates erode travellers' spending power and the profit margins of hosts with mortgages to pay down, Airbnb and other platforms continue to see a rush of customers eager to rent a spot.Airbnb and Vrbo listings grew by 41 per cent in Toronto, 38 per cent in Montreal and 49 per cent in Vancouver between the final quarter of 2021 and the same period last year, according to AirDNA, which tracks short-term rental units worldwide.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 20, 2023.© 2023 The Canadian Press.

The body of one woman was recovered Sunday, but she had not been identified. Police announced late Tuesday that the remains of a second victim had been recovered from the rubble and sent to a forensics laboratory for identification.“I also talked with An’s other friends and other relatives. We still cannot totally understand why it takes so long,” Zeng told reporters near the building. Zeng described Wu as a neuroscientist doing post-doctoral work at the University California San Diego who was in Montreal for a conference. He said the 31-year-old decided to extend her stay for a night because she loved the city, adding that the late Montrealer Leonard Cohen was her favorite singer and poet.He said Wu’s parents were coming to Montreal from their home in China, and he hoped that they would be able to get more information than he had been able to.Inspector David Shane told reporters that the unstable structure of the building mades it complicated and potentially dangerous to recover bodies. He said several floors of the building collapsed on each other, leaving devastation.Shane said identifying the bodies would be a “long process,” in part because victims needed to be identified through at least one scientific method, such as dental records or DNA.Jonathan Clark, who lives in New York, came to Montreal to say goodbye to his dear friend Saniya Khan, whom he referred to as his “twin flame.”Clark said Khan was in Montreal for a trip with her childhood friend Dania Zafar. Both women, who are now believed to be missing, “were very young, very bright, beautiful, living life,” he said.Charlie Lacroix, an 18-year-old from the Montreal suburb of Terrebonne, was also identified by her father as one of the missing. Lacroix’s father said his daughter, who had “everything in front of her,” had rented a unit in the building on Airbnb with a friend.Police have said the historic building included units that were rented on the platform Airbnb, which is outlawed by the city in the area. They did not confirm how many of the missing people were tourists.The fire has prompted renewed scrutiny of the short-term rental platform, and Montreal’s mayor has called for Airbnb to stop listing units that don’t have a permit proving they are operating legally.Lacroix’s father, who has said his daughter told 911 operators that she was trapped in a unit with no fire escape or windows, called on the city to ensure Airbnbs and apartments have proper exits.Airbnb has said it is supporting victims and assisting police, but has not answered questions on whether it is willing to crack down on illegal listings.Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

"She was so beautiful; she was so beautiful."Montreal police announced late Wednesday the discovery of two bodies, bringing the total to four and leaving three people missing after last Thursday's fire. The bodies of the two recently discovered victims were turned over to a pathologist for identification.Firefighters said Thursday they had brought in a second crane to speed up the removal of debris from the historic stone building that was built in 1890 and — according to police — used for illegal Airbnb rentals. Searchers say there are likely three people still in the rubble."The plan is two have both cranes lowered into the building," Martin Guilbault, a Montreal fire operations chief, told reporters. "The plan is to take debris and put it on the second crane to be faster on the removal of the debris."Officials have so far identified one victim: 76-year-old Camille Maheux, a photographer. Maheux’s older brother, Benoît, said he learned about the fire, and that his sister was among the missing people, from the news.“One of my other sisters also told me that probably our sister Camille was in that fire. She lived in that building for at least 30 years,” Maheux said. “I am really saddened by what happened. But unfortunately, there is nothing to do.”Benoît Maheux's wife, Lorraine Doyon, described her sister-in-law as very intelligent and curious. “She was able to talk about so many different subjects. She was an avid reader," she said."It’s very sad. We were very shocked to hear the news. My God. To die by fire … it’s horrible."Maheux earned a master’s degree in education technology from Université de Montréal and later studied at INSAS, an arts and theatre school in Brussels. The National Gallery of Canada features 61 of Maheux’s photographs on its website, and her photos have been exhibited in Canada, Brazil, France and Italy. She also produced short films.Mahmood said his daughter was in Montreal with her childhood friend Saniya Khan, 31 — who is also missing — for a brief holiday, adding that he spoke to both of them the day before the blaze."They were quite happy, they enjoyed the visit of the city," he said, adding that the two were planning on staying in Montreal overnight and travelling back to Toronto the next day. "But they never could make the trip back."He described his daughter, who was self-employed and working in publishing in Toronto, as a free spirit, and a passionate and ambitious woman. He said she had a love of art, books and heritage. She was also in the process of getting Canadian citizenship, he said.Mahmood said he has a lot of questions about why local officials didn't better monitor the city's short-term housing sector, adding that he thought the recovery process to find those missing was taking long. "The most important thing should be to recover the bodies first," he said.In the wake of the fire, politicians in Quebec have criticized Airbnb, which operates an online marketplace for short-term rentals, for being a bad corporate citizen. Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante told reporters earlier this week that the company should be ensuring that people listing their properties on the website have proper permits. In 2018, Airbnb-style short-term rentals were made illegal in the area where the building that caught fire is located.On Thursday, two representatives of Airbnb met in Quebec City with Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx, who has vowed to tighten the laws governing short-term rentals. The two Airbnb employees — Nathan Rotman and Camille Boulais-Pretty — left the meeting without speaking to reporters.Other people missing since the fire include An Wu, 31, a neuroscientist doing post-doctoral work at the University of California San Diego, who was in Montreal for a conference. Takaki Komiyama, her colleague at the university's Komiyama Lab, issued a statement on Thursday calling her "creative, fearless, and forward-thinking, with a constant desire to learn.""Our hearts are broken with the possibility of our worst fear becoming reality. Our thoughts are with An, An’s family and friends. We are grateful for the overwhelming flow of kindness that we have received in the past few days, during our extremely difficult and uncertain time," he wrote.Another person who has been identified as missing is Charlie Lacroix, an 18-year-old from the Montreal suburb of Terrebonne. She had rented a unit in the building on Airbnb with a friend, and Lacroix's father said his daughter told 911 operators that she was trapped in a unit with no fire escape or windows.Authorities have not confirmed how many of the missing people were tourists but said they were from Quebec, Ontario and the United States.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 23, 2023.—This story was produced with the financial assistance of the Meta and Canadian Press News Fellowship.© 2023 The Canadian Press.

Some of those missing had rented their accommodations on Airbnb. In 2018, Airbnb-style short-term rentals were made illegal in the area where the building is located.In a letter Friday to Quebec Tourism Minister Caroline Proulx, Airbnb said that it would remove listings across the province that don't have a permit from the agency that manages the province's tourist accommodation act. It also said that in the coming days it will require new listings to include the permit number. The company also promised to give the provincial government access to the Airbnb City Portal — a tool it says helps communities enforce rules and understand its local footprint."These measures build on our years-long efforts to work with local and provincial officials on short-term rental rules that help address community concerns and also preserve a vital source of supplemental income for residents," the company wrote.The letter was signed by Nathan Rotman, Airbnb's representative for Canada and the northeastern United States. He was one of two employees of the company who met Thursday in Quebec City with Proulx.Proulx said in a statement following the meeting she had made clear she was determined to tighten the rules surrounding rentals and to make shared-accommodation platforms more accountable. She also vowed to revise the law by June 9 to ensure listings include the permit number.In a statement shared Friday by her spokesperson, Proulx said she was pleased with Airbnb's measures. "I am satisfied with Airbnb's decision to comply with our legislation as I demanded yesterday during our meeting," Proulx said."I also ask other platforms to comply; however, I remain firm on my intention to tighten the (law)."Earlier this week, Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante accused San Francisco-based Airbnb of "washing its hands" of the problem of illegal rentals in cities across the province.On Friday, she welcomed the company's announcement. "Airbnb's decision to comply with the law and remove illegal listings from its site was necessary," Plante wrote on Twitter.She called on other platforms to follow Airbnb's move and remove illegal, short-term rentals from their sites.This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 24, 2023.© 2023 The Canadian Press.

Online prices in February 2023 fell 1.4% year-over-year (YoY), marking the sixth consecutive month of a YoY price decrease, with over half of the categories (10 of 18) tracked by Adobe seeing falling prices on an annual basis. On a monthly basis, online prices in February fell 0.3%.February's YoY price decline was primarily driven by sharp drops in discretionary categories including electronics (down 12.6% YoY, down 1.7% MoM), computers (down 16.4% YoY, down 1.4% MoM) and toys (down 6.5% YoY, down 0.4% MoM). Consumers also saw prices fall YoY for home goods: Appliances were down 3.8% YoY (down 1.8% MoM), while home/garden products fell 3.8% YoY (up 0.2% MoM). The furniture/bedding category fell for the first time after rising for 33 consecutive months, dropping 0.1% YoY (down 0.6% MoM).In certain categories with persistent inflation, YoY price increases have slowed in recent months. Grocery prices were up 11.4% YoY (up 0.8% MoM), down from January 2023's 12.6% YoY increase. This marks the fifth consecutive month where YoY price increases for groceries have decelerated from September's record high, when prices rose 14.3% YoY. In the apparel category, prices were up 5.1% YoY (up 0.3% MoM); Contrast this with February 2022, when apparel prices were up 16.7% YoY. In another category such as tools/home improvement, prices rose 6.2% YoY (flat MoM), down from January 2023's 6.9% YoY increase and December 2022's 8.3% YoY increase.Notable Categories in the Adobe Digital Price Index for FebruaryAdobe's Digital Price Index provides the most comprehensive view into how much consumers pay for goods online, complementing the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Consumer Price Index, which captures offline prices. Powered by Adobe Analytics, the DPI analyzes one trillion visits to retail sites and over 100 million SKUs across 18 product categories: electronics, apparel, appliances, books, toys, computers, groceries, furniture/bedding, tools/home improvement, home/garden, pet products, jewelry, medical equipment/supplies, sporting goods, personal care products, flowers/related gifts, non-prescription drugs and office supplies.In February, ten of the DPI's 18 categories saw YoY price decreases, with the flowers/related gifts category falling the most at 25% YoY. Eight categories experienced YoY price increases, including personal care, office supplies, pet products, groceries, non-prescription drugs, tools/home improvement, medical equipment/supplies and apparel.On a MoM basis, six of the 18 categories in the DPI saw prices fall. Price increases were observed in twelve categories including personal care, office supplies, books, home/garden, pet products, groceries, non-prescription drugs, tools/home improvement, flowers/related gifts, sporting goods, medical equipment/supplies and apparel.Notable categories for February 2023 include:Groceries: Prices rose 11.4% YoY (up 0.8% MoM) but have slowed in the past five months, rising 12.6% YoY in January, 13.5% YoY in December, 13.7% YoY in November and 14.0% YoY in October. In September, prices peaked, rising 14.3% YoY. Consumers are increasingly buying more of their groceries online, and this category has generally moved in lock step with the Consumer Price Index.Furniture & Bedding: Prices were down 0.1% YoY (down 0.6% MoM), after rising for 33 consecutive months, peaking in March 2021 when prices rose 5.7% YoY. A year ago, in February 2022, prices were up 4.7% YoY. Consumers have become increasingly comfortable buying furniture online, after a pandemic where many wanted to spruce up their living spaces and had no choice but to tap e-commerce.Electronics: Prices have fallen sharply in recently months, dropping 12.6% YoY in February (down 1.7% MoM) and 11.9% YoY in January. Contrast this with a year ago, in February 2022, when prices were down 3.2% YoY. As a major discretionary category, electronics prices continue to see sharp drops even after the holiday shopping season where prices fell 12.0% YoY in December and 13.4% YoY in November (a record YoY price drop driven by heavy discounting during Cyber Week).Apparel: Prices were up 5.1% YoY (up 0.3% MoM). In recent months, price increases for the category have slowed (up 5.1% YoY in January, up 0.9% YoY in December, up 3.2% YoY in November) compared to a year ago when prices rose 16.7% in February 2022 (up 15.8% YoY in January 2022, up 16.6% YoY in December 2021, up 17.3% YoY in November 2021).Additional Insights on the Digital EconomyAs more daily activities move online, timely e-commerce insights have become critical for businesses and policymakers to understand how consumer habits are changing. As the leading authority on the digital economy, Adobe analyzes trillions of real-time online transactions to uncover the most important trends. Today, Adobe has partnered with The Weather Company, an IBM business, to leverage weather data from the world's most accurate forecaster. A new report shows that disruptive weather events (rain, snow and wind) boosts e-commerce by over $13 billion a year when consumers are pushed to stay home-more than what shoppers spend during an entire Cyber Monday.MethodologyAdobe's DPI is modeled after the Consumer Price Index (CPI), published by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, and uses the Fisher Price Index to track online prices. The Fisher Price Index uses quantities of matched products purchased in the current period (month) and a previous period (previous month) to calculate the price changes by category. Adobe's analysis is weighted by the real quantities of the products purchased in the two adjacent months.Powered by Adobe Analytics, Adobe uses a combination of Adobe's AI and machine learning framework Adobe Sensei and manual effort to segment products into the categories defined by the CPI manual. The methodology was first developed alongside renowned economists Austan Goolsbee and Pete Klenow. Adobe Analytics is part of Adobe Experience Cloud, which over 85% of the top 100 internet retailers in the U.S.* rely upon to deliver, measure and personalize shopping experiences online.About AdobeAdobe is changing the world through digital experiences.

'Adobe continues pushing the boundaries of innovation to unlock the future of filmmaking, empowering our customers to create in new mediums and collaborate in new ways, from anywhere.'Today's filmmakers are at an inflection point in a highly competitive environment, striving to meet an insatiable demand for content across platforms, while delivering captivating content at a faster rate than ever before. Filmmaking teams need tools that facilitate creative collaboration while efficiently delivering quality content to multiple stakeholders - including directors, producers and studio executives. Adobe's innovative and reliable Creative Cloud and Substance 3D tools equip filmmakers with the creative control to meet these demands and create standout, beloved films.Celebrating Oscar NomineesOutstanding storytellers behind this year's frontrunning films trusted Adobe creative tools to power their projects:Editor Paul Rogers and his team at Parallax Post relied on Premiere Pro, After Effects and Frame.io to bring Everything Everywhere All at Once to life, earning 11 nominations including Best Film Editing and Best Picture. 'Premiere Pro is wonderful and I couldn't imagine cutting in any other program,' said Rogers. 'Combined with Frame.io, the whole workflow was very intuitive. I was able to focus on the film, not the tools.'Top Gun: Maverick Film UI designer Jayse Hansen turned to After Effects and Illustrator to supplement the practical interior shots of the various aircrafts by designing and animating the realistic cockpit, speed and command center displays that captivated audiences and earned six nominations, including Best Visual Effects and Best Picture. 'All of Adobe's tools play so well together,' said Hansen. 'This allows our team the quickest workflow from design, to animation, back to changes, and then to final composites.'Adobe Creative Cloud and Frame.io were important tools for the post-production team of Fire of Love, the National Geographic Documentary Films feature which earned a Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award at Sundance as well as an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature Film. VFX artist Kara Blake shared that 'In bringing this moving story to life, Photoshop and After Effects helped us craft the visual design of the film and integrate archival footage from multiple eras while Frame.io made remote collaboration easy and efficient.'Digital Domain Texture Lead Artist Sarah Cosmi and her team used Substance 3D tools to polish the visuals in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, which earned five nominations including Best Visual Effects and Best Costume Design. 'To create the climactic battle of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Digital Domain built two complete digi-double armies, multiple super-powered combatants and digital environments from scratch, and it all begins with the textures,' said Cosmi. 'My team and I relied on Adobe Substance 3D as part of our integrated workflow to create every detail from the battleship to the oceans and more, which helped us deliver an amazing experience for audiences around the world.'Adobe Creative Cloud and Substance 3D applications have also played major roles in the creation of globally popular and influential films, including the Star Wars and Spider-Man franchises, Frozen 2, The Batman and Blade Runner 2049.Industry RecognitionAs a testament to Adobe's continuing innovations in the film and entertainment industry, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Adobe with a Scientific Technical Award for Substance 3D Designer's contributions in visual effects and animation. This is Adobe's third Scientific and Engineering Award, including After Effects and Photoshop's 2018 recognition for their impacts on motion design and digital painting.At the 2023 Eddie Awards, film editors who trusted Premiere Pro bring their stories to life were honored for editing, including Best Edited Feature Film Everything Everywhere All at Once, Best Edited Single Camera Series The Bear, Best Edited Non-Script Series VICE and Best Edited Animated Series Love Death and Robots.Adobe also received the Lumiere Century Award from the Advanced Imaging Society for creating innovative post-production tools and pioneering access to creative technology solutions in the filmmaking industry.Supporting Inclusive StorytellingFurthering Adobe's efforts to support the next generation of storytellers, the Adobe Foundation recently made a $250,000 grant to the USC School of Dramatic Arts' (SDA) MFA Acting Program, directly supporting the production of short films by underrepresented students. This investment builds on Adobe's commitment to enable inclusivity, access, opportunity and creativity for all and the Adobe Foundation's support of 'The Inclusion List' - a new research-led effort with the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative, which measures inclusion in the industry from 1929 to present day, charting nominations for women and people of color across 19 categories.About AdobeAdobe is changing the world through digital experiences.

available information + +Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information + +Adobe continues to provide all information required in accordance with GAAP, but believes evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Adobe uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adobe's management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adobe presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Adobe's operating results. Adobe believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. This allows institutional investors, the analyst community and others to better understand and evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management. + +Adobe's management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information as well as non-GAAP measures, which may exclude items such as stock-based and deferred compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles, investment gains and losses, the related tax impact of all of these items, income tax adjustments, and the income tax effect of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes. Adobe uses these non-GAAP measures in order to assess the performance of Adobe's business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever such a non-GAAP measure is used, Adobe provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above. +View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230315005394/en/ \ No newline at end of file diff --git "a/news/ADBE/2023.03.15/Adobe ceo says co has completed discovery phase of the u.s. doj\342\200\246.txt" "b/news/ADBE/2023.03.15/Adobe ceo says co has completed discovery phase of the u.s. doj\342\200\246.txt" new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..c8c017c9dffa82959db87ef23ac18e5f1c6d56b4 --- /dev/null +++ "b/news/ADBE/2023.03.15/Adobe ceo says co has completed discovery phase of the u.s. doj\342\200\246.txt" @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +ADOBE CEO SAYS CO HAS COMPLETED DISCOVERY PHASE OF THE U.S. DOJ SECOND REQUEST ON $20 BLN FIGMA DEAL; PREPARED FOR NEXT STEPS AND CONTINUES TO EXPECT TO CLOSE DEAL BY END OF 2023 - CONF CALL \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/ADBE/2023.03.15/Marketmind-Deep breaths as banks calm, but only a bit.txt b/news/ADBE/2023.03.15/Marketmind-Deep breaths as banks calm, but only a bit.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9699cfe043f76a4f0b490eb5a495f604e6c9ce3c --- /dev/null +++ b/news/ADBE/2023.03.15/Marketmind-Deep breaths as banks calm, but only a bit.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Hyperventilating world markets have finally caught their breath as the U.S. bank shock of the past week appeared to calm somewhat and gyrating interest rates found a level.But volatility is likely to persistMOVE> - not least in pre-meeting blackout periods for major central banks - as easing financial system tensions merely re-introduce rate hike risks that sticky US inflation readings seem to warrant. And with longer-running global banking sagas exposed by the events of the past week, nerves were jangled again on Wednesday as Credit Suisse shares dropped by as much as 10.5% to a new record low, as its largest investor said it couldn't give the Swiss bank more financial assistance. After bank stocks rebounded somewhat on Tuesday, despite Moody's downgrading the credit outlook for the entire U.S. banking system, attention turned to tighter regulation and workouts for the worst affected firms.The Federal Reserve is considering tougher rules and oversight for midsize banks similar in size to Silicon Valley Bank, which collapsed suddenly last week. Strengthened rules on banks in the $100 billion to $250 billion range could ape those for larger more systemic banks and involve stringent capital and liquidity requirements or beefed up annual "stress tests".Even though reports abounded of depositor flight from the smaller weaker banks to the larger financial firms, stock prices in the sector at large caught a breath. That continued in Asia on Wednesday, although Europe's bank stocks and wider bourses stayed in the red and U.S. futures were a touch lower. The VIX equity volatility gauge hugged Tuesday's close at 23.Apart from fresh Credit Suisse angst, another reason for the persistent trepidation in Europe was signals from central bank sources that the European Central Bank would push ahead with a hefty half-point interest rate rise at its policymaking meeting on Thursday. If the ECB stays the course and the Fed follows suit next week, anxiety about further banking ructions may return - or at least see further wild volatility in rates markets that could end up having similar effects. U.S. Treasury market volatility is already at its highest since the aftermath of the last big banking crash in 2009, with the biggest drop since 1987 in 2-year Treasury yields on Monday followed by the biggest one-day jump in 14 years on Tuesday.On Wednesday, 2-year yields settled about 4.3% - still 80 basis points lower than they were a week ago, but up half a point from Tuesday's trough. Futures markets now see an 80% chance of a quarter-point Fed hike next week to a 4.75-5.0% range, with a 'terminal rate' at 5% in May.The dollar was slightly higher as rates recalibrated.Chinese industrial and retail updates for February showed the post-COVID lockdown recovery underway but at an underwhelming pace.Sterling was steady at investors awaited the Spring UK budget, with bumper tax receipts allowing finance minister Jeremy Hunt to offer some relief to pensions and childcare while extending critical energy price supports.With widespread trepidation about the impact of the SVB collapse on the U.S. tech sector at large, Facebook-parent Meta said on Tuesday it would cut 10,000 jobs this year, making it the first Big Tech company to announce a second round of mass layoffs as the industry braces for a deep economic downturn.Apple supplier Foxconn said on Wednesday it expected smart consumer electronics demand would decline slightly this year, as it reported a 10% fall in fourth-quarter net profit from a year earlier.In more upbeat tech news, startup OpenAI said it is beginning to release a powerful artificial intelligence model known as GPT-4, with image as well as text prompts in searches.Key developments that may provide direction to U.S. markets later on Wednesday:* US Feb retail sales and producer prices, US March NAHB housing market index, Empire State manufacturing survey, Jan business inventories. * UK government's Spring budget* US corp earnings: Adobe (By Mike Dolan, editing by Elaine Hardcastle; mike.dolan@thomsonreuters.com.

evaluating its ongoing operating results may not be as useful if an investor is limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Adobe uses non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. Adobe's management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non-GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Adobe presents such non-GAAP financial measures in reporting its financial results to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate Adobe's operating results. Adobe believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. This allows institutional investors, the analyst community and others to better understand and evaluate our operating results and future prospects in the same manner as management.Adobe's management believes it is useful for itself and investors to review, as applicable, both GAAP information as well as non-GAAP measures, which may exclude items such as stock-based and deferred compensation expenses, amortization of intangibles, investment gains and losses, the related tax impact of all of these items, income tax adjustments, and the income tax effect of the non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments from the provision for income taxes. Adobe uses these non-GAAP measures in order to assess the performance of Adobe's business and for planning and forecasting in subsequent periods. Whenever such a non-GAAP measure is used, Adobe provides a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure as detailed above.Investor Relations ContactJonathan VaasAdobeir@adobe.comPublic Relations ContactAshley LevineAdobeadobepr@adobe.com(C) 2023 Electronic News Publishing, source ENP Newswire \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/ADBE/2023.03.21/Adobe Announces New Sensei GenAI Services to Reimagine End-to-End Marketing Workflows.txt b/news/ADBE/2023.03.21/Adobe Announces New Sensei GenAI Services to Reimagine End-to-End Marketing Workflows.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..d41d886ac8a6eceea4ce0001cd53fe410589dc3b --- /dev/null +++ b/news/ADBE/2023.03.21/Adobe Announces New Sensei GenAI Services to Reimagine End-to-End Marketing Workflows.txt @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ + +Today, at Adobe Summit – the world’s largest Digital Experience Conference – Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced generative AI innovations across Adobe Experience Cloud that will redefine how businesses deliver customer experiences. + +For more than a decade, Adobe has delivered hundreds of intelligent capabilities through Adobe Sensei within its enterprise applications to enable customers to work and collaborate in new ways.

Nvidia trained the technology on images licensed from Getty Images, Shutterstock Inc, and Adobe, and plans to pay royalties.This marks a milestone in the ongoing tension between the rights of copyright holders and emerging technology. Image-generation technology is "trained" on billions of images, but whether that use is legally permitted is not always clear.Getty Images earlier this year sued Stability AI, creators of the open-source art generation program Stable Diffusion, claiming it had copied more than 12 million images from its database without permission."This collaboration (with Nvidia) is testament to the feasibility of a path of responsible AI development and the unique nature of Getty Images content and data," Getty Images CEO Craig Peters told Reuters in an email."It is in-line with our belief that generative AI is an exciting tool that should be based on permissioned data, visuals, and individual privacy."Adobe's new AI-enhanced feature, called "Firefly," allows users to use words to describe the images, illustrations or videos that its software will create. Because the AI has been trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content and older content where copyright has expired, the resulting creations are safe for commercial use, it said.The company also is advocating for a universal "do not train" tag that would allow photographers to request that their content not be used to train models."We're very interested in making this creator friendly," Ely Greenfield, chief technology officer for digital media at Adobe, told Reuters.If Adobe users ask the system for an image in the style of a particular artist, "it won't generate an image that is aping that person's style," Greenfield said. "You as an artist can merchandise this. If someone wants to use your style, you can actually sell a customer the right to use your style."Nvidia's Picasso AI-image generator is part of a collection of AI-powered cloud products unveiled at its GTC Developer Conference."This is the basis of having something that will be interesting to the marketplace," said Greg Estes, Nvidia's vice president of developer programs, of working with partners like Getty."Because other software providers or enterprises of any kind, they don't want to be involved (with image-generating AI) not knowing what the provenance is" of the underlying training images, he said.Jun-Yan Zhu, assistant professor in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon, said it is not unusual for open-source AI models to train on billions of images. A number of factors, including whether a photographer is famous or whether the training dataset is publicly available, determine whether photographers know their works have been sampled, he added. Zhu said he hopes photographers and artists may ultimately benefit by using the technology to license their artistic style."The livelihoods of content creators depend on respect for intellectual property rights and the value of their creative endeavors," said Getty's Peters."We believe that innovation and creativity thrive in an environment where artists, photographers, videographers, and creatives everywhere can be fairly compensated for their work, especially when it is used for commercial purposes."(This story has been corrected to say that Adobe's image-generation tools were not developed in a partnership with Nvidia in paragraph 3) (Reporting by Stephen Nellis in San Francisco and Dawn Chmielewski in Los Angeles; Editing by Richard Chang)By Dawn Chmielewski and Stephen Nellis \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/ADBE/2023.03.21/New Adobe Experience Manager Reimagines Content Publishing, Powered by AI Insights.txt b/news/ADBE/2023.03.21/New Adobe Experience Manager Reimagines Content Publishing, Powered by AI Insights.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..2141181c3351618d54f7251ce9156d88a7f08c25 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/ADBE/2023.03.21/New Adobe Experience Manager Reimagines Content Publishing, Powered by AI Insights.txt @@ -0,0 +1,31 @@ + +Today, at Adobe Summit 2023 – the world’s largest Digital Experience Conference – Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) announced new innovations in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), the industry-leading content and digital asset management system, spanning experience creation, publishing and analytics.

(Graphic: Business Wire) +As one of the most mature renewable energy sources, wind power has achieved rapid growth in China in recent years. According to China’s National Energy Administration, by the end of 2022, the cumulative installed capacity of wind power in China reached approximately 370 million kilowatts, ranking first in the world. With the gradual expansion of wind power scale, wind turbine components are undergoing rapid iteration. Higher tower barrels, longer blades, and heavier engine rooms bring great challenges for the safe and reliable operation of wind power systems. + +Among the challenges, the tower barrel is one of the key windmill components requiring monitoring to ensure the safety and reliability of wind power turbines. The tower barrel extends from the ground up to the windmill generator and blades. To promote safety, as well as to help prevent tower collapse and other extreme accidents, Envision Energy joins forces with ADI to introduce predictive maintenance technology into the core control of smart wind turbines. This is done by deploying ADI’s precision inertial measurement unit (IMU) and low-noise, low-drift accelerometers on different positions of the tower barrel to monitor the key states of tower barrel in real-time. Information gathered by monitoring tower barrel conditions is used to inform danger prevention measures. + +"In the long-term, wind power and energy storage will become the energy of the future for the world. While we move toward that goal, safety remains the first factor in the process of value mining," said Haipeng Chen, Director of Intelligent Control Division at Envision Energy. “We are pleased to work with ADI to add its predictive, precision, high-reliability MEMS sensors to our wind turbines. This increases the safety of the tower barrel as well as brings the blade diameter and tower barrel height to the next level, continuing to lead the progress of the industry." + +"ADI has decades of experience in the field of MEMS sensors," said Neil Zhao, Director of MEMS Technology Group Asia at ADI. “We are committed to helping customers solve challenges in different scenarios through high-performance solutions and all-around support. This collaboration with Envision Energy supports the promotion of smart distributed wind turbines." + +About Envision + +Envision Group is a world-leading green technology company.

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment. The company has been working on making it easier for developers to use non-Nvidia chips and in October launched a set of free software tools for AI applications that enable switching back and forth between Nvidia and AMD chips.

The latter refers to those that change how people and companies live and work globally, so compelling that it becomes the status quo. Steve Jobs did it with his iPhone (NASDAQ: AAPL), prefacing its release by saying it would change the world. A little over sixteen years later, few argue that his hunch isn't now the reality. Still, the game-changer he was, Jobs did more than usher in a communications revolution. He also helped pave the way for other companies to prove that even the most far-fetched ideas can blaze a disruptive trail to prosperity.That includes SMX, PLC. (ASX: SMX.AX), a publicly-traded company on the Australian markets intending to debut in the NASDAQ market this week. Investors should watch for its listing because, similar to how the iPhone changed the world, SMX's encoding technology will also. And valuations could surge in the process.A Bullish Proposition In-PlayThat's not an overly enthusiastic assessment considering that its technology can provide a means to track millions of products and materials through an entire lifecycle. More specifically, by microscopically encoding raw materials, SMX is the first and only known company providing brands and manufacturers the ability to meet the demands of sustainability, accountability, and transparency through a unique trackable marking system.The technology is remarkable, with the most powerful aspect being that SMX has developed a way to augment materials to granular detail to prove their provenance, purity, and integrity. Its technology does more than instill transparency; it allows companies and industries to gain the intelligence needed to work in more intelligent and productive ways by linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse, and reuse again to realize the potential of materials.It's a system perfectly designed and equipped to serve the 21st-century economy that empowers businesses to maximize their presence in the real-world circular economy.An Invisible And Powerful SolutionFrankly, the encoding technology is so innovative and, in some respects, difficult to comprehend it's hard to explain just how powerful and disruptive it will be. And it's not a matter of "if" anymore, but instead, "how soon" will businesses integrate this technology and utilize this invisible solution to transform their business into an intelligent ecosystem, putting sustainability and accountability at the heart of what they do. Logic dictates the answer to that question is "sooner than later."In fact, by empowering companies at a molecular level, SMX is already driving that change by enabling its clients to capitalize on their inherent power and transforming their mission by coordinating ecosystems that work as a united whole. It's a competitive advantage that is perpetuating unprecedented growth at SMX.And it's unlikely that its competitive distance will shrink, noting that SMX is advancing its own potent, patent-protected technology. At its core, it provides multiple-stages and multiple-loops traceability, with a resilient SMX marker and blockchain platform designed to ensure that data is never compromised or lost, enabling more accurate and reliable traceability as the material is recycled/reused multiple times. That's not all.It facilitates enhanced data flow and circularity. The SMX marker enables client data to be stored at a molecular level within products and materials, allowing for increased transparency of marked content for greater granularity, ease of recycling, accountability, and security.As exciting, SMX markers provide knowledge-gathering potential, with the SMX reader designed to enable easy data gathering at any point within the supply chain without affecting the product or material, eliminate blind spots, and provide unprecedented transparency. The best news- the revenue-generating potential from this mind-boggling technology is enormous, noting that the unique SMX marker can be applied to any material, expanding its use case for any sector needing anti-counterfeit, brand protection, client liability, and track and trace technology.It does even more. SMX's suite of integrated solutions solves both authentication and track and trace challenges to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. For brands and industry, it's a production and management game-changer.Multiple Applications For SMX Turn-Key TechnologyBetter still, it's an easy-to-implement turn-key solution utilizing a sub-molecular hidden 'marker' system and a unique 'reader,' facilitating a 'blockchain record' providing transparency and authentication that creates an auditable closed-loop supply chain. And there are few, if any, market exclusions. It's active in chemistry, plastics, electronics, precious metals & minerals, food & beverage, and agriculture markets. That's helped SMX engage in impressive global collaborations, including BASF SE (OTC Other: BASFY) for chemicals, the Perth Mint for precious metals, and SMX-B for wine applications. On an even broader scale, the technology can be used for seed to harvest, food security, and to enable meeting ESG standards. There's more.The future of sustainable "fashion" is creating desirable narratives connecting tangible, sustainable ESG practices with the fashion industry by tracking, tracing, authenticating, and verifying both physically and digitally, each stage along the value chain. That includes following the raw materials through the manufacturing supply chain to distribution, retail, and end-of-life. Put another way, it enables full supply chain transparency and measurably and credibly tangible, sustainable circularity. And it's all tracked and recorded with an invisible marker and scanner.The SMX mission is doing something else. It is leading the charge away from global and traditional "take-make-dispose of" economic models to one regenerative by design to retain as much value as possible from resources, products, parts, and materials. The result is intended to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.Companies committed to the circular economy, like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Visa (NYSE: V), and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), are sure to embrace the technology. But they are just three of thousands, even millions, of brands rethinking products and services based on durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, refurbishment, and reduced material use. That totality of interests puts SMX in an enviable position.No Shortage Of OpportunitiesAnd it's a massive opportunity they are capitalizing on, resulting from SMX technology being able to mark solid, liquid, or gas objects in multiple layers. Moreover, it utilizes a combination of 500,000+ marker molecules to help make each mark unique, designed not to change the material's composition, quality, and characteristics such as color, weight, taste, and smell. Those markings are recognized through a patented sensitive reader, which receives a response signal from a marker embedded in the item within seconds without having to destroy the product or send the item to a special lab for testing. Impressively, the data received shows processes through the supply chain, including transfer of ownership to prove authenticity and quality assurance.That's invaluable information. Global counterfeit and pirated goods sales are estimated at $500 billion annually. But in addition to brands utilizing SMX to protect product and image integrity, SMX is tapping into a more enormous opportunity, the circular economy. It's an estimated $4.5 trillion opportunity in the U.S. alone, presenting the potential for expedited company growth by accelerating client brands towards a committed practice of contributing to a sustainable future. Other markets include the Global Plastic Recycling Market, estimated to reach $60.7 billion by 2025, and global textile waste, expected to reach 148 million tons annually by 2030.Thus, an irrefutable case can be made that SMX is doing the right things at the right time. Most important, however, is that they have developed world-changing technology to advance and fuel a global sustainability mission. The better news for SMX, investors, and the global population; if all goes as expected, SMX can do for sustainability and accountability practices what Apple did for communications technology- positively impact a global landscape.Disclaimers: Hawk Point Media Group, Llc. is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

"If you fast forward 5 years, we are much less dependent on that as an income stream than some of these other faster-growing parts of our business."Services, such as fees Walmart collects from third-party sellers on Walmart.com, the cut it gets if Walmart fulfills those orders to shoppers and the dollars that advertisers spend through Walmart's growing retail media business, are the higher-margin, faster-growing parts of Walmart's business, Rainey said. Over time, they will change the composition of Walmart's profit and loss statement, he said.Retailers ranging from Amazon, Target and Walmart Inc to grocers such as Tesco Plc are working aggressively to attract big advertisers to their websites. Most recently, Amazon disclosed $11.6 billion in revenue from its ad business in the fourth quarter. Renamed Walmart Connect in 2021, Walmart's retail media business offers brands ad space at its U.S. stores and allows the use of its shopper data to make ads more effective, even on websites and apps Walmart does not own. The business has grown rapidly since then, with sales rising nearly 30% to $2.7 billion in its fiscal year ended Jan. 31. In the fourth quarter, ad sales rose 41% year-over-year, the company said last month. Walmart, the world's largest retailer by revenue, has also been investing heavily in building out its third-party marketplace on Walmart.com, which Rainey said offers more than 400 million products right now. "The more eyeballs that are coming to your digital platforms, the more advertisers want to spend money," Rainey said adding that advertising margins typically range in the 70% to 80% range. By contrast, Walmart's margins fell nearly 1 percentage point to 24.1% in its latest fiscal year. "The common thread through all of them is a greater digital engagement with our consumer, said Rainey, who took up the CFO job in April last year. "Convenience ... really resonates with consumers, and it allows us to have these distribution points as consumers lean more into e-commerce over time. They are all very interrelated."

He genuinely cares for humanity, and I highly recommend Ocean Eagle's Books, Activation Breathwork, Retreats, and Mentorship!!!" - Dr. Angie CrossAs Ocean began to journey from his illusionary 3D existence and into what he calls "The Universal Frequency Matrix" of his higher self, he realized there were guides helping him in many ways. The spoken word has such strength and power to alter one's trajectory in life. When he looked back through his life, the realization of many such moments became crystal clear. As you read this book, maybe search within for that teacher, friend, parent, relative, spiritual guide, child, or mentor who said something to you that you never forgot. Turn inward and ask yourself why that word or phrase inspired you to make changes in your way of thinking and life choices. Ocean realized when these moments happen, a new beacon of light shines within and our "Higher Self" calls us back home to our True Essence!"We are all born with a gift and humanity needs you to find yours now more than ever. I'm meant for great things, and So Are You!"About the author:Ocean Eagle's life's trajectory was forever altered on May 4th, 2019 in his first Shamanic Breathwork session in Sedona, Arizona. While at the "The Gathering of the Shamans," he attended a Shamanic Breathwork workshop with 85 souls and the session blew Ocean Eagle's heart apart. The expansion of love for humanity and Mother Earth was overwhelming. He went back home to Sacramento and changed One Thing... Everything! Most never receive a calling and if they do, they cannot muster the courage to surrender to it. Ocean's calling could not be denied, and the expansion opened courage within to follow it fearlessly! He walked away from a life of financial comfort to be set free and now sees the world through a new lens.About MindStir Media:MindStir Media LLC is an award-winning book publisher.

Fast forward sixteen years later, and it's easy to argue that his iPhone (NASDAQ: AAPL) did more than substantiate his vision; it also revolutionized the global communications landscape. The game-changer he was, Jobs' legacy lives on. In fact, more than ushering in a communications revolution, he is responsible for enabling other companies to prove that even the most far-fetched ideas can blaze a disruptive trail to prosperity.That includes SMX, PLC. (ASX: SMX.AX), a publicly-traded company on the Australian markets, which is expected to make its NASDAQ debut on Wednesday. Like Jobs' contributions to communications, SMX's can also be a global game changer in sustainability, and that's no exaggeration. Its innovative technology does what no other can by offering a system that can uniquely verify material origination, allowing companies to tangibly demonstrate their commitment to sustainable and ethical sourcing & ESG practices. But more than a record, it's a transparent, credible, and measurable way to identify and verify product and material makeup in real time without destroying the finished product.That explanation may make the technology sound simple. But don't under-appreciate what's put into play by SMX. By using SMX's molecular marking technology and its digital twin blockchain platform, companies can efficiently sort, reclaim and potentially reuse the raw materials(solid, liquid, or gas)in their products when it reaches their end lifecycle. That reduces the number of virgin materials required to re-produce, reduces waste sent to landfills, can significantly reduce carbon emissions, and facilitates meeting consumers' and stakeholders' sustainability & ESG expectations. The best news- SMX's technology is applicable across a wide range of materials besides plastics, including metals, gold, and textiles.And that does more than put massive revenue-generating opportunities in SMX's near-term crosshairs; it could put a new generational investment opportunity in play.Opportunity In A Generational TradeThat's not an overly enthusiastic assessment considering that its technology can provide a means to track millions of products and materials through an entire lifecycle. More specifically, by microscopically encoding raw materials, SMX is the first and only known company providing brands and manufacturers the ability to meet the demands of sustainability, accountability, and transparency through a unique trackable marking system.The technology is remarkable, with the most powerful aspect being that SMX has developed a way to augment materials to granular detail to prove their provenance, purity, and integrity. Its technology does more than instill transparency; it allows companies and industries to gain the intelligence needed to work in more intelligent and productive ways by linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse, and reuse again to realize the potential of materials.It's a system perfectly designed and equipped to serve the 21st-century economy that empowers businesses to maximize their presence in the real-world circular economy.Powerful Solution Microscopic In SizeFrankly, the encoding technology is so innovative and, in some respects, difficult to comprehend it's hard to explain just how powerful and disruptive it will be. And it's not a matter of "if" anymore, but instead, "how soon" will businesses integrate this technology and utilize this invisible solution to transform their business into an intelligent ecosystem, putting sustainability and accountability at the heart of what they do. Logic dictates the answer to that question is "sooner than later."In fact, by empowering companies at a molecular level, SMX is already driving that change by enabling its clients to capitalize on their inherent power and transforming their mission by coordinating ecosystems that work as a united whole. It's a competitive advantage that is perpetuating unprecedented growth at SMX.And it's unlikely that its competitive distance will shrink, noting that SMX is advancing its own potent, patent-protected technology. At its core, it provides multiple-stages and multiple-loops traceability, with a resilient SMX marker and blockchain platform designed to ensure that data is never compromised or lost, enabling more accurate and reliable traceability as the material is recycled/reused multiple times. That's not all.It facilitates enhanced data flow and circularity. The SMX marker enables client data to be stored at a molecular level within products and materials, allowing for increased transparency of marked content for greater granularity, ease of recycling, accountability, and security.As exciting, SMX markers provide knowledge-gathering potential, with the SMX reader designed to enable easy data gathering at any point within the supply chain without affecting the product or material, eliminate blind spots, and provide unprecedented transparency. The best news- the revenue-generating potential from this mind-boggling technology is enormous, noting that the unique SMX marker can be applied to any material, expanding its use case for any sector needing anti-counterfeit, brand protection, client liability, and track and trace technology.It does even more. SMX's suite of integrated solutions solves both authentication and track and trace challenges to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. For brands and industry, it's a production and management game-changer.SMX Turn-Key Technology Targets Broad DemandBetter still, it's an easy-to-implement turn-key solution utilizing a sub-molecular hidden 'marker' system and a unique 'reader,' facilitating a 'blockchain record' providing transparency and authentication that creates an auditable closed-loop supply chain. And there are few, if any, market exclusions. It's active in chemistry, plastics, electronics, precious metals & minerals, food & beverage, and agriculture markets. That's helped SMX engage in impressive global collaborations, including BASF SE (OTC Other: BASFY) for chemicals, the Perth Mint for precious metals, and SMX-B for wine applications. On an even broader scale, the technology can be used for seed to harvest, food security, and to enable meeting ESG standards. There's more.The future of sustainable "fashion" is creating desirable narratives connecting tangible, sustainable ESG practices with the fashion industry by tracking, tracing, authenticating, and verifying both physically and digitally, each stage along the value chain. That includes following the raw materials through the manufacturing supply chain to distribution, retail, and end-of-life. Put another way, it enables full supply chain transparency and measurably and credibly tangible, sustainable circularity. And it's all tracked and recorded with an invisible marker and scanner.The SMX mission is doing something else. It is leading the charge away from global and traditional "take-make-dispose of" economic models to one regenerative by design to retain as much value as possible from resources, products, parts, and materials. The result is intended to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.Companies committed to the circular economy, like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Visa (NYSE: V), and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), are sure to embrace the technology. But they are just three of thousands, even millions, of brands rethinking products and services based on durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, refurbishment, and reduced material use. That totality of interests puts SMX in an enviable position.Seizing Upon Global Market OpportunitiesAnd it's a massive opportunity they are capitalizing on, resulting from SMX technology being able to mark solid, liquid, or gas objects in multiple layers. Moreover, it utilizes a combination of 500,000+ marker molecules to help make each mark unique, designed not to change the material's composition, quality, and characteristics such as color, weight, taste, and smell. Those markings are recognized through a patented sensitive reader, which receives a response signal from a marker embedded in the item within seconds without having to destroy the product or send the item to a special lab for testing. Impressively, the data received shows processes through the supply chain, including transfer of ownership to prove authenticity and quality assurance.That's invaluable information. Global counterfeit and pirated goods sales are estimated at $500 billion annually. But in addition to brands utilizing SMX to protect product and image integrity, SMX is tapping into a more enormous opportunity, the circular economy. It's an estimated $4.5 trillion opportunity in the U.S. alone, presenting the potential for expedited company growth by accelerating client brands towards a committed practice of contributing to a sustainable future. Other markets include the Global Plastic Recycling Market, estimated to reach $60.7 billion by 2025, and global textile waste, expected to reach 148 million tons annually by 2030.Thus, an irrefutable case can be made that SMX is doing the right things at the right time. Most important, however, is that they have developed world-changing technology to advance and fuel a global sustainability mission. The better news for SMX, investors, and the global population; if all goes as expected, SMX can do for sustainability and accountability practices what Apple did for communications technology- positively impact a global landscape.Disclaimers: Hawk Point Media Group, Llc. is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

AlixPartners' Marc Iampieri recently sat down with Scott Ruffin, the founder and CEO of Pandion, an e-commerce transportation startup that is breaking new ground in this fast-paced industry. Read how Pandion is helping retailers meet ever-increasing customer demands for efficient and fast delivery in a cost-efficient way, using technologies like AI and machine learning.Marc: Welcome, Scott. It is great to have you here and get to interview you in a more formal capacity. We've known each other for years - since 2005 in fact - and it's been really great to see you go from working in consulting, to founding Amazon Air and building out Amazon's powerhouse transportation business, to becoming the Founder and CEO of Pandion, one of the most interesting technology-forward logistics networks of today.You've founded Pandion at the perfect time, it seems. AlixPartners has been surveying consumers on their home delivery expectations for a decade, and people want things delivered to them free - and fast. Expectations have gone from between five days and a week for a package to arrive in 2012, with the majority of consumers today expecting to get their purchase in under three days.What's also of note from this year's findings is that consumer expectations are diverging from executive intentions and priorities - which is risky in today's loyalty-averse retail landscape. Pandion seems like the perfect business partner to bridge this gap.So, with that background, will you tell us what, exactly, is Pandion?Scott: Pandion is the first purpose-built end-to-end shipping network and delivery solution for e-commerce. We are geared towards retailers and our technology allows them to level the playing field by providing large, big-box retail-like experience at highly competitive price points. We do that by leveraging machine learning and artificial intelligence to make smart decisions about how we move packages throughout our network and then select from our marketplace to final mile providers to select the right final mile solution for the right time, the right day, the right hour for that particular package to guarantee it's on time all the time, and done so at highly competitive price points.It was specifically designed for e-commerce to be delivered in population hubs, not for B2B shipments, and uses technology developed in 2020 not 1920. Our competitors use technology that is 20 to 30 years old.What makes Pandion different?Scott: It starts with technology that makes the daily decisions - different from static routes that you force deliveries into.A path for a big-box retailer or transportation service package is based upon routes - or pipes if you think of it like a plumbing network - that were established months or even years before. They're making decisions on this package going from Point A to Point B is going to take this particular path.What Pandion does that sets us apart is that we are always looking at all the possible permeations and deciding every hour what's best for that particular package, and then at those nodes then executing whatever that new plan is based upon - what the current status quo requires.Marc: The thing that's really cool about Pandion is the innovation, the embrace of technology in what can be, at times, a traditional industry. The radial tire that connects the vehicle to the road is the same as it's been for 100 years. Maybe the vehicles have started to become electrified, but fundamentally it is a driver and a van or a straight or a truck. That technology in particular has been around for a long time. The big difference with your process is the powerful decision-making software that is really a differentiator for Pandion.What challenges are your customers facing and how are you solving them?Scott: What's different about us is that as our customers' challenges shift and change, we are in a position to shift and change with them. For instance, the way our algorithms work, we make decisions on every single package, and we can change today what that objective function is from what it's going to be tomorrow. So, the two days before Christmas, the objective function is to take the fastest route possible, maximize it delivers by the by the 24th so that everyone has their toys under the tree in time, so to speak.In another time of year, that retailer may not be so sensitive to transit time, and they may be OK with being able to save money and take a slightly slower approach or slightly slower transit time. Three days from point A to point B versus two days may be more appealing to save on costs. And so, we can change that dial by package, which means we can change the dial by customer.If I have a computer manufacturer that sells $3,000 computers, they're very, very sensitive that it gets there on time, when you say it's going to arrive, and it is crucial that the item isn't damaged.But, if you've got a retailer that sells paper towels, not only is it expensive in many cases to ship it because of weight and size, so they're going to be more price sensitive. And so, I can change the dial for some packages, but not for others. Many won't care if the paper towels get there by the 24th of December, but others will care that the gifts reliably make it there in time to be under the tree.What are the types of customers that want your services or who do you serve? Who some near-term and long-term customers you have in mind?Scott: Retail and tech. We originally started with large enterprise retailers - Fortune 100 and larger.Very, very quickly, we began to see that our value proposition resonates strongly with digitally-native brands, traditional brands that are going more direct to consumer. There are large apparel brands that have made a huge initiative to move the vast majority of their revenue to DTC. Our product resonates very strongly with them.We've also started to see a significant amount of interest with marketplace merchants, smaller merchants that sell on the marketplaces like Shopify, Amazon, Walmart's marketplace, eBay, Etsy, because they are also looking for low-cost, high-quality delivery to keep their customers happy as well.The only other area that's been a bit different for us is healthcare where we're starting to see an uptick in pharmaceuticals too. We have customers who are large health insurers with programs to deliver everything from canes and walkers to all kinds of Medicare / Medicaid items and pharmaceuticals as well.Marc: Absolutely. A great example of that is a local program to try to have people retire where they live versus going to retirement homes. But if you are getting medical care, you then need that equipment and those supplies in your house. And there's much more demand for that kind of stuff today than there was ten years ago, that's for sure.Scott: Yes - and we have this network of hundreds of thousands of drivers that are in these residential neighborhoods. And we're matching a particular item with where that driver is going to be and whether that item is a walker to send to my neighbor next door or it's a gift item for Christmas. Our job is to put those pieces together and then create density for those final mile carriers.We also see final mile carriers as customers as well. They don't necessarily have the means to create density in their network and we can help them create that density.Marc: Interesting. So, you would be supplementing parts of their network at times where they could use that that capacity?Scott: Yes, think of it as these small businesses that were made to be small point to point, same day delivery, where I can start to bring in volume to their network that is coming from fulfillment centers that are 500 miles away or 2,000 miles away. But they don't have the means to do otherwise because they don't have the ability to do complete sortation. It's primarily around sortation as a service.Where do you provide this service? Where can you help people?Scott: We currently cover every time zone in the continental United States, and we're growing rapidly. In Q1 of 2023 we will cover twice as many Americans as we did in Q4 2022.We started with the larger metropolitan areas, but we have really grown quickly into expanding coverage. Look at it this way: of the 31 NFL teams in the U.S., we cover 29 of those markets.Can you explain how Pandion improves Net Promoter Score (NPS) for your customers?Scott: We found that for all of our customers that utilize and track NPS with their consumers, partnering with Pandion results in a significant increase in their Net Promoter scores. We had one Fortune 200 retailer who saw a 33% increase in their Net Promoter score for packages that were delivered with Pandion versus the control packages because we delivered a significantly stronger consumer experience for them than compared to the control groupWe are very proud that our shipments have a positive impact on our clients' interactions with their customers.What are some of the data sets you use to train your machine learning & AI algorithms? Are they all customer-specific, or are learnings from one customer used to enhance the offering for others?Scott: Inputs include everything from historical, on-time delivery performance to variances of the timing when our final mile providers scan packages against what we expected to see early indicator trends of their performance problems. We look at their delivery stations, that's a big key you know piece we look at weather data, we look at traffic data, and things like expectations.Whenever we have a package that's presented to us, they call our API, our customer says here's everything you need to know about that package. And here's when we need that package to deliver. And we use that. We then return to them a plan to deliver that package. And many times, they won't give us the package unless the plan matches their initial expectations. That's how the typical rate shopping works. And then we based basically the benchmark that we deliver against.What is changing with the consumer and is the marketplace reacting?Scott: Something that we are working on for our large, omni-channel retailer clients is allowing them to use us to merge packages from their fulfillment centers to their stores. By enabling this middle-mile move, they can then merge and complete an order for a single final mile delivery cost from their store to the customer versus shipping an order in multiple packages.This addresses a consumer experience problem going on. I just encountered it myself - my wife bought three barstools, but only two of them showed up in our delivery. This kind of thing is an issue for the retailer, who not only has to track down or replace a missing piece but incur an additional cost in delivering the extra package. But this scenario also impacts customer experience.Ultimately, the best way to save money on transportation is to ship fewer packages for the same amount of revenue, right? But, just as importantly, is that this also makes for a better experience for the consumer.Looking out over the next 5 years, what do you think will be the biggest changes to the industry and are there any significant trends that you think we should take note of?Scott: This may not be the most unique answer or the most exciting one, but I really subscribe to Jeff Bezos's adage 'we should think about what's not going to change.' That's how you actually skate to where the puck is going to go as opposed to thinking about what may change.People are always going to want more selection, faster delivery, and cheaper options. They are never going to want to pay more, never going to want their deliveries slower, and they're never going to want to have less things to choose from.As it refers to supply chain ecommerce delivery specifically, where that framework drives you is an environment where the consumer has more choice and where we don't have supply chain delays that limit selection. It means retailers are going to have to compete more and more on the quality of the delivery service to those consumers and in order to get repeat business from that consumer, you've got to produce a high-quality delivery.I think that the data from AlixPartners Home Delivery Survey really points to a lot of that. As we get into an environment where retailers have to compete more and more for each consumer dollar - particularly in a potentially recessionary environment, we're going to see a lot more need to compete on cost and on service together and the solutions that can provide that of the solutions that will win.Any advice for entrepreneurs that would like to follow in your footsteps?Scott: There's no time like the present! I would tell people, especially in a time of recession or a downturn, that there's no better time than now to take a leap.I started Pandion as a 44-year-old entrepreneur with three kids about to go to college. You would think that's a relatively high-risk time for me to leave the largest, most stable company in the world to go start what began with just me as the smallest company in the world. But I would really encourage folks to take the leap.If you look at startups, the vast majority of them fail. The odds are that you'll fail. But you want to be able to look back and not have regrets that you didn't do something - that's usually what people regret, not regretting that you did something.The non-monetary payback - the learning opportunity - is also incredibly strong. I've learned more in 2 ˝ years than I probably learned in the 22 ˝ years of my career before Pandion.Do it to be a better person, to be more rounded, and to grow intellectually and professionally. If a company has a $100 billion exit, it's a huge economic opportunity for a founder. But there's just so much more non-economic benefit that can be had. If you look back and say, 'If I spent a period of time building a business that ended up having no economic return, would it still be a good idea because of the growth opportunity?' For me that calculus was yes, and I'm still incredibly glad to have taken this leap.It's still very early in the Pandion journey, but I'm excited about what's to come.The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

Gross profit rose to $8.7 million, or 54.1% of reported net revenue, in Q4 FY22 as compared to gross profit of $5.7 million, or 51.1% of net revenue, in Q4 FY21. The improvement in gross margin was driven by a reduced dependence on air freight and an improved product mix with higher margin ammo sales representing a greater percentage of overall sales.Operating expenses remained relatively flat at $8.7 million in Q4 FY22 compared to $8.8 million in Q4 FY21. The combination of higher revenue and a higher gross margin percentage coupled with flat operating expenses resulted in improved profitability.

For the full year of 2022, the Company saw increases in 'International Sales,' 'Dealer Sales,' and 'Amazon sales.' Specifically, International Sales increased by $5.7 million (or 164.6%), Dealer sales rose by $1.6 million (or 28.4%) and Amazon Sales grew by $4.6 million (or 522.5%). This more than offset the decline in Byrna.com sales of $6.6 million (or 20.9%) in FY22 as FY21 Byrna.com sales benefited from a one-time $9.0 million spike in sales attributable to an unsolicited endorsement from Sean Hannity in April 2021.Higher sales drove an increase in gross profit of $3.4 million to $26.3 million in FY22 as compared to gross profit of $22.9 million in FY21. The Gross margin percentage for the full year FY22 remained relatively consistent, at 54.7% compared to 54.3% in FY21, as the increase in the lower margin International and Dealer sales was offset by lower freight costs and an improved product mix.Operating expenses rose by $7.5 million to $33.7 million in FY22 from $26.2 million in FY21 due primarily to higher marketing expenditures, (up $3.3 million), non-cash stock compensation expense (up $2.3 million), and variable selling expenses (up $1.2 million). Variable selling expenses include such things as outbound freight, credit card and other transaction fees and sales-based fees and commissions.Net loss in FY22 was $(7.9) million, compared to a net loss of $(3.3) million in FY21. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA1, which excludes long-term non-cash stock-based compensation and one-time severance costs, was a loss of $(1.0) million versus a profit of $1.3 million in FY21.About Byrna Technologies Inc.Byrna is a technology company, specializing in the development, manufacture, and sale of innovative non-lethal personal security solutions.Forward Looking InformationThis news release contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the securities laws.

SVB was seeking funding to make up for the sale of a $21 billion loss-making bond portfolio, a result of surging rates. Central banks meanwhile are shrinking their balance sheets by offloading bond holdings as part of their fight against hot inflation. We look at some potential pressure points.1/ BANKSBank have shot up the worry list as the SVB rout hit bank stocks globally on contagion fears. JPMorgan and BofA shares fell over 5% on Thursday, European banks slid on Friday.SVB's troubles stem from deposit outflows due to heavy spending by clients in the tech and healthcare sectors, raising questions over whether other banks would have to cover deposit outflows with loss-making bond sales too. In February, U.S. regulators said U.S. banks had unrealised losses of more than $620 billion on securities, underscoring the hit from rising interest rates.Germany's Commerzbank issued a rare statement playing down any threat from SVB.For now, analysts saw SVB's issues as idiosyncratic and took comfort from safer business models at larger banks. BofA noted European banks' bond holdings have not grown since 2015."Normally speaking, banks would not be taking big duration bets with deposits, but with such rapid rate rises it is clear why investors could be worried and are selling now and asking questions later," said Gary Kirk, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management.

Tech firms are reversing pandemic-era exuberance, cutting jobs after years of hiring sprees. Google owner Alphabet plans to axe about 12,000 workers; Microsoft, Amazon and Meta are together firing almost 40,000."Despite being a rate sensitive investment, NASDAQ has not responded to the implications of interest rates.

Tech layoffs announced in the last four months https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-MARKETS/lgvdkoyajpo/chart.png 3/ DEFAULT RISKSThe risk premium on corporate debt has fallen since the start of the year and signals little risk, but corporate defaults are rising.S&P Global said Europe had the second-highest default count last year since 2009. It expects U.S. and European default rates to reach 3.75% and 3.25%, respectively, in September 2023 versus 1.6% and 1.4% a year before, with pessimistic forecasts of 6.0% and 5.5% not "out of the question."And with defaults rising, the focus is on the less visible private debt markets, which have ballooned to $1.4 trillion from $250 billion in 2010.In a low rate world, the largely floating-rate nature of the financing appealed to investors, who can reap returns up to the low double digits, but now that means ballooning interest costs as central banks hike rates.

After all, rising borrowing costs roiled crypto markets in 2022, with Bitcoin prices plunging 64%.The collapse of various dominant crypto companies, most notably FTX, left investors shouldering large losses and prompted calls for more regulation.Shares of crypto-related companies fell on March 9, after Silvergate Capital Corp, one of the biggest banks in the cryptocurrency industry announced it would wind down operations and sparked a crisis of confidence in the industry.

European real estate reported distress levels not seen since 2012 by November, law firm Weil, Gotshal & Manges found.How the sector funds itself is key. Officials warn European banks risk significant profit hits from sliding house prices, which is making them less likely to lend to the sector. Real estate investment management firm AEW estimates the sector in UK, France and Germany could face a 51 billion euro debt funding gap through 2025. Asset managers Brookfield and Blackstone recently defaulted on some debt tied to real estate as interest rate hikes and falling demand for offices in particular hit property values.

Today, over ten million drivers use the "My BMW" and "MINI" apps packed with lots of clever features, practical services, and helpful tips - two million even on a daily basis. Tens of thousands of users gave the apps a 5-star rating in the Apple App Store.Pieter Nota, Member of the Board of Management of the BMW AG, Customer, Brands, Sales : "With over 10 million people using the "My BMW" and "MINI" apps, the BMW Group's strategy of increasing customer proximity through digitisation has proven highly successful. The apps enable our customers to communicate directly with us and their vehicles - and provide the BMW Group with direct customer access."The vehicle status in sight at all times and lots of features at the touch of a button*.With the apps, drivers can keep up to date about the status of their vehicle at all times. The app can also be used to lock and unlock the doors, activate the climate control/ventilation or, depending on the vehicle equipment, view the vehicle surrounds and interior in the app using Remote 3D View. Additionally, it is very easy to send destination addresses from the app to the vehicle's navigation system. What's more, the app can manage third-party services such as Amazon Alexa**, for example. On the "Services & Store" tab, the customer can get an up-to-date overview of the digital services available and booked for the vehicle at all times as well as conveniently and flexibly add ConnectedDrive upgrades. In conjunction with BMW Digital Key Plus and depending on the vehicle equipment, the "My BMW" app can execute previously saved manoeuvres and automated parking functions from a distance of up to approximately six metres.The apps offer a variety of useful features for electrified vehicles also. For example, customers can get real-time information on their charging status and electric range and receive push notifications during charging about reaching the target battery charge as well as about potential irregularities. In Europe, the customer's BMW or MINI Charging contract can be stored in the apps as required. This enables digital authentication via app at over 400,000 charging points across Europe. Billing is conveniently carried out monthly using the stored means of payment via BMW/MINI Charging.Another core feature of both apps is the management of the vehicle's service and maintenance needs. When a customer's vehicle is due to be serviced, they receive a push notification and can make an appointment directly in the app. The entire service process is supported via the app with check-in, service video, status tracking and payment. Should a customer's vehicle be involved in an accident, the app naturally also offers a speedy and efficient way of calling Roadside Assistance.The "Explore" tab provides interesting content about the BMW and MINI brands, products and services, including helpful how-to videos.A special feature of both apps is demo mode. It offers a selection of demo vehicles so that users can discover the functionality of the apps without a vehicle of their own. Demo mode creates an authentic BMW and MINI experience - almost as if the vehicle were already in the user's garage.BMW and MINI customers can also access information on vehicle status and range via the relevant app on the Apple Watch.Apps very much in demand since their introduction and continuously improved.The "My BMW" and "MINI" apps were both launched in July 2020, replacing their respective predecessors, the "Connected" apps. Since then, the apps have been continuously expanded and constantly optimised based on user feedback. Both apps will continue to receive updates every two months and their range of features will be extended.Since September 2022, the "My Trips" feature in the "My BMW" app has allowed owners of all BMW drive versions to avail of trip statistics and information on energy consumption, average speed and CO2 emissions of past trips. The "My Trips" features will be further expanded in future, for example with tips on efficient and sustainable driving styles.On the "Map" tab, the user can search for filling stations and charging stations and, among other things, conveniently compare fuel prices without having to open another app. Since December 2022 in Germany and Austria, BMW drivers can activate automatic parking payments in the vehicle as well as end and extend active bookings, view their parking history and manage their payment methods on the "Services & Store" tab of the "My BMW" app.* The range of features in the "My BMW" and "MINI" app is always dependent on the vehicle equipment and country of use.** Amazon, Alexa and all associated logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or of an affiliated company.

After their first historic strike on January 25, a group of almost 500 employees have stepped up the pressure with another strike this week in protest against their wages and working conditions which they say are abusive. The strikers formed a picket line on Tuesday morning and managed to stop several of the company's trucks carrying merchandise from entering the distribution facility, which is the size of eight football pitches and is one of the largest in the country. In the afternoon, they will be replaced by their colleagues on the night shift, a pattern that will be repeated throughout the week. As well as asking for a pay rise, from 10.50 pounds sterling ($12.78) to 15 pounds, the strikers' aim is to recruit more than half of the plant's workforce to legally force Amazon to accept union representation and collective bargaining. In April 2022, an Amazon warehouse in New York became the first to gain such recognition in the United States, in what was seen as a victory for workers over the company which is known for its strong anti-union stance. Emilia Gradinaru, a 47-year-old Romanian who has worked at the Coventry site since it opened in 2018, is one of many employees who have complained about the damage caused by the so-called "safety shoes" they are forced to wear. In addition to calloused feet, she experiences constant back pain due to the weight she must carry without being able to sit down during her 10-hour shift. She is one of those who works 60 hours a week, instead of 40, to make ends meet amid the cost of living crisis. "Their priority is the numbers, but we are not robots," she tells Efe, echoing one of the strike's slogans, as she describes the constant supervision and reprimands to which they are subjected by their superiors. "It is physically demanding, I have back problems. It's destroying our health, we don't see the light of day," says Justyna Nowak, a 35-year-old Polish woman. Amid condemnation of imposing excessive targets on its employees, an Amazon spokesperson told Efe that "performance metrics are regularly evaluated and built on benchmarks based on actual attainable employee performance history." "We look at the performance that associates are naturally setting and then set the benchmarks from there with a focus on safety in mind," the spokesperson explained. Another common complaint from strikers is the inadequacy of toilets in a facility with more than 14 kilometers of conveyor belts, which in some cases has led to claims of people urinating in bottles. The company, however, denies that, saying that "every employee has easy access to toilet facilities which are just a short walk from where they are working" and "are allowed to use the toilet whenever needed". Several workers told Efe of incidents of injuries and health problems, including miscarriages and lightheadedness, where management was reluctant to call an ambulance. "I wear two knee prostheses and one day I hurt myself and couldn't move. Instead of taking me to the emergency hospital, they made me call my husband to come and get me," says Marie Connelly, 57. Amazon says keeping its "employees safe at work is (...) our number one priority and ahead of everything else, it's the most important thing we do." "We work closely with health and safety experts, conduct thousands of safety inspections in our buildings, and actively seek employee feedback on how we can improve their well-being at work." Whether through lack of will or lack of communication, it seems that the employees demonstrating this week at the gates of the Coventry plant do not feel they are being heard.

Smith has been released worldwide. This 234-page memoir, which has achieved bestseller status as #1 in Amazon's Medical, Poverty, and Biographies of Medical Professionals categories, is a firsthand account of the author's difficult path from childhood dysfunction to building a stable, happy life as a physician with training from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.One of eleven children born to eccentric parents, Christopher's early years were marked by frequent moves and relative instability, but a tragedy when he was nine years old changed the trajectory of the entire family. After a slow decline in family stability, struggles to make ends meet, and the persistent weight of grief, the family was evicted again as Christopher neared the end of high school - this time with nowhere to go.In the subsequent years of homelessness, hunger, and loneliness, the author navigated his darkest days, yet maintained the perseverance to graduate from high school, enroll in college, and begin work as a missionary. Through ongoing difficulty with his parents, Chris pushed forward, growing into his own person, getting married, and eventually applying for medical school.While his adult life as a practicing physician, speaker, author, and entrepreneur provides joy and stability, Dr. Smith had to beat incredible odds to get there. His story is inspiring and motivating, showing readers that great things are possible despite difficult circumstances and rocky beginnings.Mariel Hemingway, Oscar and Emmy nominated actress and bestselling author, granddaughter of renowned writer Ernest Hemingway, who also wrote the foreword for the book, said, "'Against all odds' is really the only way I can describe Homeless to Hopkins. This is not only an American success story, but also a human expression of inner faith... Chris's book is an inspiration for anyone asking themselves if they can achieve their dreams... After reading this book, I would say you will have your answer, and that answer is yes, anything and everything is possible."See Mariel's full endorsement at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0nJBBxaP6_MAt times gritty and tragic, but filled with hope and authenticity as well, this true story is a powerful lesson in determination and overcoming obstacles.Homeless to Hopkins (ISBN: 9781958729502 / 9781958729519) can be purchased through retailers worldwide, including Barnes and Noble and Amazon.

Knowing I would probably still wake in the morning with my hair frozen to the door, I curled up in a ball, trying to find some warmth in the car that was my bedroom. Sadness consumed me like an infection; it had become the norm for me to wake up every day feeling broken.Most nights like this, all I could hope for was to die in my sleep to be rid of the pain. Despite the terrible nights, I still woke up, dressed, and went to my only refuge, my high school.This was my life, often alone, cold, sad, and hungry. My youth was different than most, but this was my reality.However, despite the hardship that was my life and being homeless, something led me on, something saw me through. I survived, I found hope, and eventually, a life even better than I had imagined. Even though I so often faced darkness, I discovered light, laughter, and happiness.I journeyed from that broken, homeless teenager sleeping in the car to eventually being a Medical Doctor at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins. But most important of all, I found me, I found joy.This is my story.Homeless to Hopkins.About the author:Dr. Christopher Smith is a Board-Certified practicing physician who completed his residency and fellowship at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins Hospital. Dr. Smith currently lives in Florida and is a partner with Quantum Imaging and Therapeutics. He dedicates time and resources to raising awareness of homeless children and finding solutions to help them overcome. Chris enjoys making new memories with his family, walking barefoot on the beach, traveling, and photography.About MindStir Media:MindStir Media LLC is an award-winning book publisher.

It claims the decision is about tax structuring and tax dodging. But it is not," Amazon lawyer Michel Petite told the CJEU.He said the EU executive's appeal lacked merit as it used the wrong reference framework to determine whether Amazon had a selective advantage, citing the CJEU's judgment last year on Fiat's tax case which said such a framework should take into account national laws.Petite also faulted the Commission on its concept of transfer pricing, which are prices for goods and services sold between subsidiaries."The most striking illustration of the Commission's made-up transfer pricing is perhaps the fact that it relies on a concocted compilation of different versions of the OECD Guidelines, spanning a period of more than 20 years," he said.Commission lawyer Paul-John Loewenthal said it was clear that Amazon's Luxembourg tax deal constituted state aid."Luxembourg provided a measure to Amazon by which Amazon could exempt the vast majority of its European profit from taxation in return for investments in Luxembourg, thus affecting intra-EU trade and distorting competition," he said."That is the very definition of fiscal state aid."Vestager's crackdown has already forced Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to change their tax practices.The CJEU adviser will deliver a non-binding opinion on June 8, with a judgment due in the coming months.

The gatekeepers - companies that control data and platform access - are subject to a list of do's, such as making their messaging services interoperable, and don'ts, including not favouring their products and services on their platforms.The list of gatekeepers to which the DMA will apply is due to be announced on Sept. 6 and will likely include Alphabet's Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.Those disagreeing with the label and requirements are likely to take their complaint to the Luxembourg-based General Court within months, its president Marc van der Woude said. The General Court is part of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and deals with cases ranging from competition law to trade and the environment. "Probably the end of this year, beginning of next year we might see the first cases and I don't think it will stop," he told a conference organised by the European Commission.Some, like Google and Apple, have lobbied intensively against the DMA. "We remain concerned that some provisions of the DMA will create unnecessary privacy and security vulnerabilities for our users while others will prohibit us from charging for intellectual property in which we invest a great deal," it said in March 2022.Google has echoed those sentiments, and said it was also concerned that the new rules could reduce innovation.But van der Woude said the DMA was still evolving. "It's a living organism, this DMA, it's under constant review, obligations will be reviewed and implementing acts. So if I might call it like this, it will be a lawyer's paradise," he said.He said areas of dispute will likely focus on the gatekeeper designation, specifications of their obligations and during enforcement of the DMA.A contentious area is likely to be the requirement on gatekeepers to notify their acquisitions to the Commission and whether such deals meet the threshold for regulatory scrutiny, van der Woude said.($1 = 0.9403 euros) (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)By Foo Yun Chee \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/AMZN/2023.03.20/Amazon cuts 9,000 more jobs, bringing 2023 total to 27,000.txt b/news/AMZN/2023.03.20/Amazon cuts 9,000 more jobs, bringing 2023 total to 27,000.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..6742b7dda958ed19b521043a83eee0d95aadc2be --- /dev/null +++ b/news/AMZN/2023.03.20/Amazon cuts 9,000 more jobs, bringing 2023 total to 27,000.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ + +NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon plans to eliminate 9,000 more jobs in the next few weeks, CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff on Monday. The job cuts would mark the second largest round of layoffs in the company's history, adding to the 18,000 employees the tech giant said it would lay off in January. The company's workforce doubled during the pandemic, however, in the midst of a hiring surge across almost the entire tech sector. Tech companies have announced tens of thousands of job cuts this year. In the memo, Jassy said the second phase of the company's annual planning process completed this month led to the additional job cuts. He said Amazon will still hire in some strategic areas. “Some may ask why we didn’t announce these role reductions with the ones we announced a couple months ago. The short answer is that not all of the teams were done with their analyses in the late fall; and rather than rush through these assessments without the appropriate diligence, we chose to share these decisions as we’ve made them so people had the information as soon as possible,” Jassy said. The job cuts announced Monday will hit profitable areas for the company including its cloud computing unit AWS and its burgeoning advertising business. Twitch, the gaming platform Amazon owns, will also see some layoffs as well as Amazon's PXT organizations, which handle human resources and other functions. Prior layoffs had also hit PXT, the company's stores division, which encompasses its e-commerce business as well as company’s brick-and-mortar stores such as Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go, and other departments such as the one that runs the virtual assistant Alexa. Earlier this month, the company said it would pause construction on its headquarters building in northern Virginia, though the first phase of that project will open this June with 8,000 employees. Like other tech companies, including Facebook parent Meta and Google parent Alphabet, Amazon ramped up hiring during the pandemic to meet the demand from homebound Americans that were increasingly buying stuff online to keep themselves safe from the virus. Amazon's workforce, in warehouses and offices, doubled to more than 1.6 million people in about two years. But demand slowed as the worst of the pandemic eased. The company began pausing or cancelling its warehouse expansion plans last year. Amid growing anxiety over the potential for a recession, Amazon in the past few months shut down a subsidiary that’s been selling fabrics for nearly 30 years and shuttered its hybrid virtual, in-home care service Amazon Care among other cost-cutting moves. Jassy said Monday given the uncertain economy and the “uncertainty that exists in the near future," the company has chosen to be more streamlined. He said the teams that will be impacted by the latest round of layoffs are not done making final decisions on which roles will be eliminated. The company plans to finalize those decisions by mid to late April and notify those who will be laid off. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

(AWS), an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN), and NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) today announced a multi-part collaboration focused on building out the world's most scalable, on-demand artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure optimized for training increasingly complex large language models (LLMs) and developing generative AI applications. +This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230321005750/en/ +The joint work features next-generation Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) P5 instances powered by NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and AWS’s state-of-the-art networking and scalability that will deliver up to 20 exaFLOPS of compute performance for building and training the largest deep learning models. P5 instances will be the first GPU-based instance to take advantage of AWS’s second-generation Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) networking, which provides 3,200 Gbps of low-latency, high bandwidth networking throughput, enabling customers to scale up to 20,000 H100 GPUs in EC2 UltraClusters for on-demand access to supercomputer-class performance for AI. + +“AWS and NVIDIA have collaborated for more than 12 years to deliver large-scale, cost-effective GPU-based solutions on demand for various applications such as AI/ML, graphics, gaming, and HPC,” said Adam Selipsky, CEO at AWS. “AWS has unmatched experience delivering GPU-based instances that have pushed the scalability envelope with each successive generation, with many customers scaling machine learning training workloads to more than 10,000 GPUs today. With second-generation EFA, customers will be able to scale their P5 instances to over 20,000 NVIDIA H100 GPUs, bringing supercomputer capabilities on demand to customers ranging from startups to large enterprises.” + +“Accelerated computing and AI have arrived, and just in time. Accelerated computing provides step-function speed-ups while driving down cost and power as enterprises strive to do more with less. Generative AI has awakened companies to reimagine their products and business models and to be the disruptor and not the disrupted,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “AWS is a long-time partner and was the first cloud service provider to offer NVIDIA GPUs. We are thrilled to combine our expertise, scale, and reach to help customers harness accelerated computing and generative AI to engage the enormous opportunities ahead.” + +New Supercomputing Clusters + +New P5 instances are built on more than a decade of collaboration between AWS and NVIDIA delivering the AI and HPC infrastructure and build on four previous collaborations across P2, P3, P3dn, and P4d(e) instances. P5 instances are the fifth generation of AWS offerings powered by NVIDIA GPUs and come almost 13 years after its initial deployment of NVIDIA GPUs, beginning with CG1 instances. + +P5 instances are ideal for training and running inference for increasingly complex LLMs and computer vision models behind the most-demanding and compute-intensive generative AI applications, including question answering, code generation, video and image generation, speech recognition, and more. + +Specifically built for both enterprises and startups racing to bring AI-fueled innovation to market in a scalable and secure way, P5 instances feature eight NVIDIA H100 GPUs capable of 16 petaFLOPs of mixed-precision performance, 640 GB of high-bandwidth memory, and 3,200 Gbps networking connectivity (8x more than the previous generation) in a single EC2 instance. The increased performance of P5 instances accelerates the time-to-train machine learning (ML) models by up to 6x (reducing training time from days to hours), and the additional GPU memory helps customers train larger, more complex models. P5 instances are expected to lower the cost to train ML models by up to 40% over the previous generation, providing customers greater efficiency over less flexible cloud offerings or expensive on-premises systems. + +Amazon EC2 P5 instances are deployed in hyperscale clusters called EC2 UltraClusters that are comprised of the highest performance compute, networking, and storage in the cloud. Each EC2 UltraCluster is one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world, enabling customers to run their most complex multi-node ML training and distributed HPC workloads. They feature petabit-scale non-blocking networking, powered by AWS EFA, a network interface for Amazon EC2 instances that enables customers to run applications requiring high levels of inter-node communications at scale on AWS. EFA’s custom-built operating system (OS) bypass hardware interface and integration with NVIDIA GPUDirect RDMA enhances the performance of inter-instance communications by lowering latency and increasing bandwidth utilization, which is critical to scaling training of deep learning models across hundreds of P5 nodes. With P5 instances and EFA, ML applications can use NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) to scale up to 20,000 H100 GPUs. As a result, customers get the application performance of on-premises HPC clusters with the on-demand elasticity and flexibility of AWS. On top of these cutting-edge computing capabilities, customers can use the industry’s broadest and deepest portfolio of services such as Amazon S3 for object storage, Amazon FSx for high-performance file systems, and Amazon SageMaker for building, training, and deploying deep learning applications. P5 instances will be available in the coming weeks in limited preview. To request access, visit https://pages.awscloud.com/EC2-P5-Interest.html. + +With the new EC2 P5 instances, customers like Anthropic, Cohere, Hugging Face, Pinterest, and Stability AI will be able to build and train the largest ML models at scale. The collaboration through additional generations of EC2 instances will help startups, enterprises, and researchers seamlessly scale to meet their ML needs. + +Anthropic builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems that will have many opportunities to create value commercially and for public benefit. “At Anthropic, we are working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. While the large, general AI systems of today can have significant benefits, they can also be unpredictable, unreliable, and opaque. Our goal is to make progress on these issues and deploy systems that people find useful,” said Tom Brown, co-founder of Anthropic. “Our organization is one of the few in the world that is building foundational models in deep learning research. These models are highly complex, and to develop and train these cutting-edge models, we need to distribute them efficiently across large clusters of GPUs. We are using Amazon EC2 P4 instances extensively today, and we are excited about the upcoming launch of P5 instances. We expect them to deliver substantial price-performance benefits over P4d instances, and they’ll be available at the massive scale required for building next-generation large language models and related products.” + +Cohere, a leading pioneer in language AI, empowers every developer and enterprise to build incredible products with world-leading natural language processing (NLP) technology while keeping their data private and secure. “Cohere leads the charge in helping every enterprise harness the power of language AI to explore, generate, search for, and act upon information in a natural and intuitive manner, deploying across multiple cloud platforms in the data environment that works best for each customer,” said Aidan Gomez, CEO at Cohere. “NVIDIA H100-powered Amazon EC2 P5 instances will unleash the ability of businesses to create, grow, and scale faster with its computing power combined with Cohere’s state-of-the-art LLM and generative AI capabilities.” + +Hugging Face is on a mission to democratize good machine learning. “As the fastest growing open source community for machine learning, we now provide over 150,000 pre-trained models and 25,000 datasets on our platform for NLP, computer vision, biology, reinforcement learning, and more,” said Julien Chaumond, CTO and co-founder at Hugging Face. “With significant advances in large language models and generative AI, we’re working with AWS to build and contribute the open source models of tomorrow. We’re looking forward to using Amazon EC2 P5 instances via Amazon SageMaker at scale in UltraClusters with EFA to accelerate the delivery of new foundation AI models for everyone.” + +Today, more than 450 million people around the world use Pinterest as a visual inspiration platform to shop for products personalized to their taste, find ideas to do offline, and discover the most inspiring creators. “We use deep learning extensively across our platform for use-cases such as labeling and categorizing billions of photos that are uploaded to our platform, and visual search that provides our users the ability to go from inspiration to action," said David Chaiken, Chief Architect at Pinterest. "We have built and deployed these use-cases by leveraging AWS GPU instances such as P3 and the latest P4d instances. We are looking forward to using Amazon EC2 P5 instances featuring H100 GPUs, EFA and Ultraclusters to accelerate our product development and bring new Empathetic AI-based experiences to our customers.” + +As the leader in multimodal, open-source AI model development and deployment, Stability AI collaborates with public- and private-sector partners to bring this next-generation infrastructure to a global audience. “At Stability AI, our goal is to maximize the accessibility of modern AI to inspire global creativity and innovation,” said Emad Mostaque, CEO of Stability AI. “We initially partnered with AWS in 2021 to build Stable Diffusion, a latent text-to-image diffusion model, using Amazon EC2 P4d instances that we employed at scale to accelerate model training time from months to weeks. As we work on our next generation of open-source generative AI models and expand into new modalities, we are excited to use Amazon EC2 P5 instances in second-generation EC2 UltraClusters.

On Wednesday the U.S. cafe chain Panera Bread unveiled Amazon One devices, which let customers scan their palms to pay, for two locations in greater St. Louis. Kumar said the deployment would expand to 10 to 20 Panera cafes in coming months.A palm swipe would also let Panera pull up restaurant goers' rewards accounts and order histories, the companies said.Kumar declined to state the deal's value but described the business model as selling software and devices as a service.The expansion reflected demand for Amazon's contactless technology despite macroeconomic headwinds, he said. More than 50 of the installations were with the likes of independent retailers, stadiums and university customers, and the rest were in Whole Foods and other Amazon stores, he added."When times are lean," he said, "retention of your existing customers and to be able to win customers becomes even more important."Amazon's own effort at a leaner operation led it to say this week it would eliminate 9,000 more jobs, totaling 27,000 cuts since November. Some of those jobs are being cut at Amazon Web Services (AWS), the cloud-computing unit of which Kumar is a part.Kumar said he could not speculate on whether still more layoffs would follow. Nearly 150,000 employees at tech companies have faced cuts this year alone, according to industry tracker Layoffs.fyi."For most people who are at Amazon right now, they've actually never been through anything like this," he said. "It wasn't as bad" for tech companies in the 2008 financial crisis. The cuts partly reflected "a tremendous amount of hiring" through the pandemic, he said.Kumar said layoffs portended "no strategy shift" for AWS, which sells physical retail technologies and other enterprise applications. He expected that business to far outlast present economic turbulence.

ONDC is in talks with more companies in the sector across several cities to bring them on board over the next few months, its Senior Vice President Nitin Nair said at an event in Bengaluru. The government launched the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) last year to enable small merchants and local stores across the country to access processes and technologies typically deployed by large e-commerce platforms like Amazon and Walmart. The non-profit company's network currently enables the display of products and services from all participating e-commerce platforms in search results across all apps on the network.With this launch, ONDC aims to do something similar in the mobility space. It will help integrate apps on different modes of transport -metro, buses, and auto rickshaws- on the network, giving customers the option to book rides on a single platform.ONDC partnered with Bengaluru-based Namma Yatri, an auto rickshaw hailing mobile application, at a time when companies like Ola and Uber are dominating a large part of the market, while users continue to face the brunt of surge pricing and cancellations. "To make transportation convenient and affordable in our growing cities, it is important to provide a seamless experience to users. Open systems like ONDC enable the collaboration and interoperability needed to make it happen," Anurag Jain, Secretary of Department for Promotion of Industry & Internal Trade, said in a statement.

"The days of free delivery are numbered," Ken Morris, managing partner at Cambridge Retail Advisors, said of the fast-changing retail marketing tool.Retailers are beginning to look more like some airlines, which charge for better seating, transporting luggage and also restrict use of frequent flyer points, Morris said. It is an open secret that most retailers raise product prices to subsidize free shipping. Still, product inflation and soaring shipping costs are making the service unsustainable as the prospect of recession threatens to wallop already-flagging online spending. Amazon marketed free shipping as a differentiator and used pricey Prime subscriptions and fat profits from other businesses to underwrite its package delivery costs - forcing other retailers to follow, even if they lacked Amazon's advantages. With retail margins shrinking and shipping rates for United Parcel Service Inc, FedEx Corp and the U.S. Postal Service hitting record levels, the industry where nearly three-quarters of e-commerce companies offer some sort of free shipping is rethinking the financial cost of habituating shoppers to free shipping. Retailers' top priority is lowering shipping costs, with speed a close second, said Lee Spratt, CEO of DHL eCommerce Solutions America, which provides logistics services.Retailers from Amazon to dog treat seller Einstein Pets and ubiquitous apparel chains like Zara, Abercrombie & Fitch and Foot Locker are drawing the line at losing money on a service consumers have come to expect. That is translating into shipping cost reduction goals of up to 25%, said Mingshu Bates, chief analytics officer at consultancy AFS Logistics.  After forcing both free and fast shipping on the e-commerce industry it dominates, Amazon's latest moves are instructive. The online retailer, which recently hiked the annual Prime subscription price by $20 to $139, is now offering "free" same-day shipping for Prime members in at least a dozen U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia. There are strings attached, however, as the service is free only on orders of at least $25, and costs $2.99 when orders fall below that.At the start of March, Amazon also raised the minimum threshold for free Prime shipping from its struggling online grocery business to $150 from $35 and added charges of $3.95 to $9.95 for orders below the new limit. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy in February said the company is streamlining costs across the business and that shipping speed would not be a casualty of its efficiency push. A spokesperson on Thursday added that Prime delivery speeds got faster from 2021 to 2022 and are improving further this year.'WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR?'Meanwhile, some consultants and customers are noticing service changes."Getting things to people same-day or within a certain number of hours doesn't seem to be first and foremost anymore" at Amazon, e-commerce consultant Chris McCabe said. Dozens of Prime subscribers, including upstate New York middle-school teacher Bryan Fabiano, have taken to social media to question the value of their Prime subscriptions due to late package deliveries, particularly during the holidays. "My wife and I are Prime customers because of the shipping (benefits). If they're not going to deliver on that, then what are we paying for?" Fabiano, 48, told Reuters. Indeed, shoppers who do not subscribe to Prime get free standard shipping on Amazon orders over $25. Walmart Inc and Target Corp, which have delivery subscriptions of about $100 per year, offer free shipping on orders above $35 for non-members. Nearly three-quarters of the top 1,000 U.S. retailers offered free shipping on at least some orders, with 45% requiring a minimum purchase for that perk, according to August 2022 survey results from industry research firm Digital Commerce 360.While retailers like Amazon and fashion purveyor Asos Plc have raised thresholds for fast shipping, others are dropping free shipping altogether or taking product prices up again.   Einstein Pets in Atlanta was caught "between a rock and a hard place" according to owner Kelly Ison. She moved to protect profit by ending free shipping in mid-2022 on purchases of Einstein's specialty dog treats, including flavors like PB'N Jelly Time and Pumpkin Time.    "We can't compete with Amazon," she told Reuters. Ison switched to flat-rate shipping of $8 to help defray fast-rising delivery costs and avoid price increases that would hurt her competitiveness. She lost some customers, but remains profitable.  Toronto-based United Filter Co raised prices on its furnace filters so it could keep offering free shipping for sales through Amazon, Walmart and Ebay and it has never offered across-the-board free returns because they are too "cost-prohibitive," owner Darrin Landau told Reuters. The company split the difference, he said. "People are just addicted to free shipping."

Customers wander through digital warehouses with thousands of products, looking for their best buy. They often do not find it, just look at the conversion rates, said Marja Silvertant of Aiden yesterday at Emerce Retail in Maarssen.Customers who doubt don't buy' is her motto. She wrote a book about it with that title. Silvertant began her presentation by looking back at Jeff Bezos, who started book retailer Amazon in the 1990s. "If you compare his first site to the current one, you actually hardly see any difference. Amazon doesn't even count the number of products offered anymore. If you want headphones you drown in the specifications."Over the past 25 years, we have only brought the products from the store online, not the staff who help us.Physical stores work much better for customers who want orientation. There is always a "Jeroen" to catch the wandering customer and ask about his or her preferences. A digital assistant should be used more often, Silvertant argues. She says a good example is musical instrument retailer Bax, which uses general questions to navigate customers to the right product.Emerce Retail had a practical approach this year. Which opportunities do you seize, which channels do you choose? How do you run a sustainable business that also makes a profit? What is binge marketing and how do you deploy it? How do you tackle your mobile commerce? What can you do as a retailer with web3 and the metaverse?A theme that recurred frequently was sustainability. Florentine Gillis of Circle Closet talked about her sustainable wardrobe, from which customers can rent clothes. Even from top brands that few people can afford. The concept is apparently catching on, because Circle Closet needs to slow down the number of renters. "We are building our own platform to accommodate the growth," he says. A round of angel investors should take the young company to the next level.Zierikzee-based YourSurprise has Web stores in 28 countries and an assortment of more than 2,500 gifts. All gifts are personalized by hand in Zierikzee and the company now delivers 3 million of them annually. It was a bit of a shock when Amazon started Amazon Custom, the same concept as YourSurprise. Think of an item of clothing with a name, a bag with a photo on it or baby toys in a specific color. Personalizing the product is done through the "normal" ordering process. A customer who wants to order a personalized product receives a clear message before ordering that data still needs to be entered.Michiel Kouwenhoven explained that YourSurprise decided to participate anyway, even though it sometimes felt like a battle between a modern David and an impossible Goliath. While the cooperation also offers enormous opportunities and contributes to the international growth strategy. About ten percent of sales come from Amazon, although few customers are crossposted to YourSurprise. "We reach customers through Amazon that we don't reach on our own," he said.The company would like a similar relationship with other marketplaces, "but they don't have a solution for personalized products.Photos Peter Boer.

However, "when you have crowding you could see a sharp reversal out of nowhere because everyone is in the same area."Strength in megacaps also cloaks weakness elsewhere. Measures of market breadth have turned more negative, while the equal-weighted S&P 500, a proxy for the average stock in the benchmark index, is down over 5% since March.Investors are bracing for more banking sector volatility next week, after sharp declines in shares of European giants Deutsche Bank and UBS on Friday followed the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier this month. Upcoming U.S. data on consumer confidence and inflation could also sway markets.Megacaps led the U.S. market in the decade following the financial crisis and spearheaded Wall Street's blistering rebound after the selloff in early 2020 fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. But they tumbled last year, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight 40-year high inflation.Their rebound this year accelerated as concerns over the banking system spiked, and the combined weight of Apple and Microsoft in the S&P 500 recently topped 13%. That was the highest in over 30 years for any top two stocks in the index, according to Todd Sohn, technical strategist at Strategas.The weight of the top five S&P 500 companies has rebounded to 21.7% from 18.8% for the top five stocks at the end of 2022. As megacaps have rallied, some indicators of breadth, which technical analysts view as gauges of broad market health, have darkened recently. The number of new 52-week lows on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was on pace to eclipse new highs for three straight weeks, a reversal after new highs had topped new lows almost every week to start 2023, according to Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Hi Mount Research.Further, the percentage of industry groups tracked by Delwiche above their 10-week moving averages has plummeted from 87% in early February to 7% in the latest week."After some hopeful signs earlier this year, it's evidence that the pattern of weakness beneath the surface that we saw last year is re-emerging," Delwiche said. "We need to see better participation if the indexes are going to be able to sustain the next leg higher."The performance of megacaps could suffer if banking worries ease and investors scoop up economically sensitive stocks that have struggled. The S&P 500 energy sector is down 7.5% since March 8, while the industrials sector is off 5%.A rebound in U.S. bond yields could pressure tech and growth stocks. Earnings growth in the tech sector, meanwhile, is expected to trail the overall S&P 500 in 2023.Nevertheless, some investors are bullish on megacap stocks. Despite last year's market swoon, "our bias has been that we think we are still in ... an up trend," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments, who is overweight many megacaps. In turn, he said, that likely means "the big-cap growth stocks will be the ones who lead from here."

The allied countries have been in talks on the matter for +months.Dutch Trade Minister Liesje Schreinemacher announced the +decision in a letter to parliament, saying the restrictions will +be introduced before the summer.Her letter did not name China, a key Dutch trading partner, +nor did it name ASML Holding NV, Europe's largest tech +firm and a major supplier to semiconductor manufacturers, but +both will be affected. It specified one technology that will be +impacted is "DUV" lithography systems, the second-most advanced +machines that ASML sells to computer chip manufacturers."Because the Netherlands considers it necessary on national +security grounds to get this technology into oversight with the +greatest of speed, the Cabinet will introduce a national control +list," the letter said.A White House representative did not immediately respond to +a request for comment.Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on +Thursday that China resolutely opposed the Netherlands' decision +and said Beijing had lodged representations with the Dutch side."We hope the Dutch side will adhere to an objective and fair +position ... act to safeguard its own interests, and not follow +the abuse of export control measures by certain countries," Mao +said, without naming countries.China has frequently called the United States a "tech +hegemony" in response to export controls imposed by Washington.ASML said in a response it expects to have to apply for +licenses to export the most advanced segment among its DUV +machines, but that would not impact its 2023 financial outlook.ASML dominates the market for lithography systems, +multimillion dollar machines that use powerful lasers to create +the minute circuitry of computer chips.The company expects sales in China to remain about flat at +2.2 billion euros in 2023 - implying relative shrinkage as the +company expects overall sales to grow by 25%.

"There is a brick wall in front of M&A activity," said Anu Aiyengar, global head of M&A at JPMorgan Chase & Co."When you look at what's happening in China, geopolitical tensions, interests rates, bank runs, liquidity crisis, increased chances of recession - throw everything together and it seems quite formidable."With financing having dried up for private equity-backed leveraged buyouts, buyers will have no option but to put up a lot of equity to get deals done in the near term, the conference participants said. "We are in for choppiness," said Scott Barshay, chair of the corporate department at law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP. "There is a giant struggle right now. And it's a giant struggle because there's a lot of dry powder for the equity part of private equity deals. What there's not is a lot of leverage for the leverage part of the leveraged buyout."M&A volumes declined considerably last year amid fears of faster interest rate hikes, possible recession, weaker credit markets and a tumbling stock market. The total value of deals last year fell 37% from a record high in 2021 to $3.61 trillion, according to Refinitiv data. That is the biggest year-over-year percentage drop since 2001 when the U.S. economy fell into recession.Global dealmaking this year through mid-March has tumbled nearly 50% in terms of dollar volumes from a year ago and is off nearly 30% in terms of the number of deals being done, according to Refinitiv.Dealmakers, however, said they expect the impact from the banking crisis on broader M&A activity to be contained, as most of the worst affected regional banks are not major advisers or lenders on deals. The technology sector remains the best hunting ground for corporate acquirers or private equity financiers, deal advisors said."There is really no part of the world that allows you to have an organic growth trajectory that lets you meet the market possible for trading at a premium valuation, which means you have to look at inorganic growth opportunities," said Aiyengar. Dealmakers also predicted an increase in unsolicited approaches from cash-flush buyers who are taking advantage of a drop in valuations of potential targets, who are now more willing to entertain bids than they were a few months ago.Increased regulatory uncertainty due to greater scrutiny on deals from antitrust regulators also is likely to impede the speed of deals getting across the finish line, with dealmakers criticizing the adversarial stance taken by the Federal Trade Commission and the Department of Justice. "In this very narrow context of who's going to be running the DOJ antitrust division and the FTC in the future, our business will be a lot better if it's somebody else," said Barshay.

The all-cash deal is set to be the biggest in the history of the tech industry. But it faces stiff opposition from rival Sony and is being examined by regulators in the U.S. and Europe over fears that it would give Microsoft control of popular game franchises like Call of Duty.The purchase hit a hurdle last month when the U.K. watchdog said in its initial decision that the deal would stifle competition for both cloud and console gaming. Based on the new evidence, including data that gives better insight into videogamers' purchasing behavior, the watchdog said it "would not be commercially beneficial" for Microsoft to make Call of Duty exclusive to its Xbox console. That's the opposite of its original analysis, which indicated that it would be profitable to block the game from competing consoles like Sony's PlayStation. “The cost to Microsoft of withholding Call of Duty from PlayStation would outweigh any gains from taking such action,” Martin Coleman, chair of the CMA's independent expert panel investigating the deal, said in a press release. The watchdog is still investigating the deal's impact on the cloud computing market and plans to issue a final report by April 26. Microsoft said it welcomed the findings and would work with the watchdog “to resolve any outstanding concerns.” Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

It affects 850 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of death globally.1Despite its deadly profile and rising prevalence, low public awareness means Chronic Kidney Disease is too often undetected and undertreated, without sufficient public health policies in place to address its rapid spread in Africa.2World Kidney Day on March 9th presents an opportunity to expose this silent killer and strengthen efforts against Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). An estimated 15% of people in Africa have the condition, rising to 30% in high-risk populations like people with diabetes.3 This is significantly higher than the global average and presents a real challenge for the region. It is perhaps unsurprising that when a panel of experts in kidney health from across the Africa and the Middle East was convened last year, they identified significant gaps in the care given to people with CKD. In a paper due to be published later this month, they make the case for renewed action to stem the rise in the disease, emphasising that early invention is essential.CKD has no cure, and treatments like dialysis and transplantation which are required in the final stages of the disease are both invasive for patients and hugely expensive, placing a significant financial burden on health systems. The pandemic has only exacerbated this challenge, with CKD being one of the most prevalent risk factors for severe COVID-19.4 Governments, NGOs, health care providers and the private sector must come together to end the neglect, with a focus on prevention, early detection and education.Firstly, efforts to manage, diagnose and treat the underlying causes of CKD can stop the disease from ever developing. Obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure are among the main drivers of CKD, and as such it is no surprise that they have also increased in prevalence in Africa in recent decades. 5 Increased support with integrated care approaches for patients with these conditions will not only improve general health outcomes but also help to avert instances of CKD and help countries to build sustainable, more resilient health systems. After all, prevention is always better than a cure.Secondly, early detection of CKD allows patients who have already developed the disease to continue to live long and healthy lives. To achieve this, policymakers should implement routine screening for CKD among high-risk groups as a priority, which is possible thanks to the rapid and inexpensive tests that are available to hunt it down. Advances in medical technology in the past decade including biomarkers, advanced imaging and the use of artificial intelligence make this easier than ever before, but these innovations are still not widely available in Africa.AstraZeneca is working with governments and health providers across the region to boost capacities and capabilities for early diagnosis, including the development of a programme known as SEARCH to drive early detection in at risk patients. SEARCH has enabled the screening of approximately 500,000 patients for CKD to date, specifically targeting those with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease which all put patients at a higher risk of developing CKD.Finally, education is essential to empower health workers and patients with the knowledge, the skills, and the confidence to live and control this disease. Patients should be able to understand their risks based on pre-existing conditions, how they can catch CKD early and the treatment options available to them to improve their prognosis. Peer to peer support can also help build confidence around healthy lifestyle changes, exercise, and adherence to treatment. Even tools as simple as this ISN 'Are your kidneys healthy?' quiz (https://apo-opa.info/3F9w6E6) can help start a conversation, which could be enough to save a life.World Kidney Day is a chance to shine a light on CKD and help to stop this silent killer in its tracks. Through prevention, early detection, and education, we can work to limit the dreadful burden of this disease on our families and communities and create healthier and more sustainable health systems in our region and across the world.[1] Jager KJ, et al.

Immune-mediated adverse reactions, which may be severe or fatal, can occur in any organ system or tissue. Immune-mediated adverse reactions can occur at any time after starting treatment or after discontinuation. Monitor patients closely for symptoms and signs that may be clinical manifestations of underlying immune-mediated adverse reactions. Evaluate liver enzymes, creatinine, and thyroid function at baseline and periodically during treatment. In cases of suspected immune-mediated adverse reactions, initiate appropriate workup to exclude alternative etiologies, including infection. Institute medical management promptly, including specialty consultation as appropriate. Withhold or permanently discontinue IMFINZI depending on severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. In general, if IMFINZI requires interruption or discontinuation, administer systemic corticosteroid therapy (1 mg to 2 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent) until improvement to Grade 1 or less. Upon improvement to Grade 1 or less, initiate corticosteroid taper and continue to taper over at least 1 month. Consider administration of other systemic immunosuppressants in patients whose immune-mediated adverse reactions are not controlled with corticosteroid therapy. + +Immune-Mediated Pneumonitis + +IMFINZI can cause immune-mediated pneumonitis. The incidence of pneumonitis is higher in patients who have received prior thoracic radiation. In patients who did not receive recent prior radiation, the incidence of immune-mediated pneumonitis was 2.4% (34/1414), including fatal (<0.1%), and Grade 3-4 (0.4%) adverse reactions. In patients who received recent prior radiation, the incidence of pneumonitis (including radiation pneumonitis) in patients with unresectable Stage III NSCLC following definitive chemoradiation within 42 days prior to initiation of IMFINZI in PACIFIC was 18.3% (87/475) in patients receiving IMFINZI and 12.8% (30/234) in patients receiving placebo. Of the patients who received IMFINZI (475), 1.1% were fatal and 2.7% were Grade 3 adverse reactions. The frequency and severity of immune-mediated pneumonitis in patients who did not receive definitive chemoradiation prior to IMFINZI were similar in patients who received IMFINZI as a single agent or with ES-SCLC or BTC when in combination with chemotherapy. + +Immune-Mediated Colitis + +IMFINZI can cause immune-mediated colitis that is frequently associated with diarrhea. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection/reactivation has been reported in patients with corticosteroid-refractory immune-mediated colitis. In cases of corticosteroid-refractory colitis, consider repeating infectious workup to exclude alternative etiologies. Immune-mediated colitis occurred in 2% (37/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 4 (<0.1%) and Grade 3 (0.4%) adverse reactions. + +Immune-Mediated Hepatitis + +IMFINZI can cause immune-mediated hepatitis. Immune-mediated hepatitis occurred in 2.8% (52/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including fatal (0.2%), Grade 4 (0.3%) and Grade 3 (1.4%) adverse reactions. + +Immune-Mediated Endocrinopathies + +Immune-Mediated Nephritis with Renal Dysfunction + +IMFINZI can cause immune-mediated nephritis. Immune-mediated nephritis occurred in 0.5% (10/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 3 (<0.1%) adverse reactions. + +Immune-Mediated Dermatology Reactions + +IMFINZI can cause immune-mediated rash or dermatitis. Exfoliative dermatitis, including Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), have occurred with PD-1/L-1 blocking antibodies. Topical emollients and/or topical corticosteroids may be adequate to treat mild to moderate non-exfoliative rashes. Immune-mediated rash or dermatitis occurred in 1.8% (34/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 3 (0.4%) adverse reactions. + +Other Immune-Mediated Adverse Reactions + +The following clinically significant, immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of less than 1% each in patients who received IMFINZI or were reported with the use of other PD-1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies. + +Infusion-Related Reactions + +IMFINZI can cause severe or life-threatening infusion-related reactions. Monitor for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Interrupt, slow the rate of, or permanently discontinue IMFINZI based on the severity. See USPI Dosing and Administration for specific details. For Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions, consider using pre-medications with subsequent doses. Infusion-related reactions occurred in 2.2% (42/1889) of patients receiving IMFINZI, including Grade 3 (0.3%) adverse reactions. + +Complications of Allogeneic HSCT after IMFINZI + +Fatal and other serious complications can occur in patients who receive allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before or after being treated with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody. Transplant-related complications include hyperacute graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD), acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, hepatic veno-occlusive disease (VOD) after reduced intensity conditioning, and steroid-requiring febrile syndrome (without an identified infectious cause). These complications may occur despite intervening therapy between PD-1/L-1 blockade and allogeneic HSCT. Follow patients closely for evidence of transplant-related complications and intervene promptly. Consider the benefit versus risks of treatment with a PD-1/L-1 blocking antibody prior to or after an allogeneic HSCT. + +Embryo-Fetal Toxicity + +Based on its mechanism of action and data from animal studies, IMFINZI can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise pregnant women of the potential risk to a fetus. In females of reproductive potential, verify pregnancy status prior to initiating IMFINZI and advise them to use effective contraception during treatment with IMFINZI and for 3 months after the last dose of IMFINZI. + +Lactation + +There is no information regarding the presence of IMFINZI in human milk; however, because of the potential for adverse reactions in breastfed infants from IMFINZI, advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 3 months after the last dose. + +Adverse Reactions + +The safety and effectiveness of IMFINZI have not been established in pediatric patients. + +Indication: + +IMFINZI is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) whose disease has not progressed following concurrent platinum-based chemotherapy and radiation therapy. + +Please refer to the full Prescribing Information and Medication Guide for important dosage modification and management information specific to adverse reactions. + +Notes + +Lung cancer + +Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, accounting for about one-fifth of all cancer deaths.1 Lung cancer is broadly split into NSCLC and small cell lung cancer (SCLC).2 The majority of NSCLC patients are diagnosed with advanced disease while approximately 25-30% present with resectable disease at diagnosis.4-5 Early-stage lung cancer diagnoses are often only made when the cancer is found on imaging for an unrelated condition.7-8 + +For patients with resectable tumors, the majority eventually develop recurrence despite complete tumor resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.9 + +AEGEAN + +AEGEAN is a randomized, double-blind, multi-center, placebo-controlled global Phase III trial evaluating IMFINZI as perioperative treatment for patients with resectable Stage IIA-IIIB (Eighth Edition AJCC Cancer Staging Manual) NSCLC, irrespective of PD-L1 expression. Perioperative therapy includes treatment before and after surgery, also known as neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy. In the trial, 802 patients were randomized to receive a 1500mg fixed dose of IMFINZI plus chemotherapy or placebo plus chemotherapy every three weeks for four cycles prior to surgery, followed by IMFINZI or placebo every four weeks (for up to 12 cycles) after surgery. Patients with known EGFR or ALK genomic tumor aberrations were excluded from the primary efficacy analyses. + +In the AEGEAN trial, the primary endpoints were pCR, defined as no viable tumor in the resection specimen (including lymph nodes) following neoadjuvant therapy, and EFS, defined as the time from randomization to an event like tumor recurrence, progression precluding definitive surgery, or death. Key secondary endpoints were mPR, defined as residual viable tumor of less than or equal to 10% in the resected primary tumor following neoadjuvant therapy, DFS, OS, safety and quality of life. The final pathologic response analyses were performed after all patients had the opportunity for surgery and pathology assessment per the trial protocol. The trial enrolled participants in 264 centers in more than 25 countries including in the US, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia. + +IMFINZI® + +IMFINZI® (durvalumab) is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-L1 protein and blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with the PD-1 and CD80 proteins, countering the tumor's immune-evading tactics and releasing the inhibition of immune responses. + +IMFINZI is the only approved immunotherapy and the global standard of care in the curative-intent setting of unresectable, Stage III NSCLC in patients whose disease has not progressed after chemoradiation therapy based on the PACIFIC Phase III trial. + +IMFINZI is also approved in the US, EU, Japan, China and many other countries around the world for the treatment of extensive-stage SCLC based on the CASPIAN Phase III trial. In an exploratory analysis in 2021, updated results from the CASPIAN trial showed IMFINZI plus chemotherapy tripled patient survival at three years versus chemotherapy alone. Additionally, IMFINZI is approved in combination with a short course of tremelimumab and chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC in the US, EU and Japan based on the POSEIDON Phase III trial. + +In addition to its indications in lung cancer, IMFINZI is also approved in combination with chemotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer in the US, EU, Japan and several other countries; in combination with tremelimumab in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in the US, EU and Japan; and in previously treated patients with advanced bladder cancer in several countries. + +Since the first approval in May 2017, more than 150,000 patients have been treated with IMFINZI. + +AstraZeneca has several ongoing registrational trials focused on testing IMFINZI in earlier stages of lung cancer, including in resectable NSCLC (ADJUVANT BR.31) and unresectable NSCLC (PACIFIC-2, 4, 5, 8 and 9), and in limited-stage SCLC (ADRIATIC). + +As part of a broad development program, IMFINZI is being tested as a single treatment and in combinations with other anti-cancer treatments for patients with SCLC, NSCLC, bladder cancer, several gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and other solid tumors. + +AstraZeneca in lung cancer + +AstraZeneca is working to bring patients with lung cancer closer to cure through the detection and treatment of early-stage disease, while also pushing the boundaries of science to improve outcomes in the resistant and advanced settings.

(NASDAQ: OVID), a biopharmaceutical company developing medicines designed to conquer epilepsies and meaningfully improve the lives of people affected by brain disorders, today announced the publication of multiple preclinical studies of OV350 in Cell Reports Medicine.The preclinical studies indicate that OV350 directly activates the potassium chloride cotransporter isoform 2 target, known as KCC2, and suggest that OV350 confers therapeutic efficacy in resistant epilepsy models and may offer a neuroprotective benefit.'These findings provide us with increased confidence that our unique program of KCC2 activators directly bind to the target and, as a result, may deliver significant seizure reduction in treatment-resistant epilepsies, such as status epilepticus. We continue to further characterize our KCC2 activator compounds across several modes of delivery and explore them in models of epilepsies and other conditions associated with neuronal excitation,' said Manoj Malhotra, Chief Medical Officer of Ovid Therapeutics.The paper presents data characterizing the mechanistic target engagement of OV350 and evaluates its potential in several translatable, animal seizure models. Publication of the data was led by Dr. Stephen Moss and a team at the Tufts Laboratory for Basic and Translational Neuroscience Research, as well as a team of researchers at AstraZeneca. Ovid in-licensed AstraZeneca's portfolio of approximately 100 KCC2 activator compounds from AstraZeneca in January 2022, and continues to work with Dr. Moss related to the development of KCC2 activators and other small molecule antiseizure programs.Mechanistic Engagement FindingsSeveral mechanistic studies articulated in Cell Reports Medicine suggest that OV350: Directly binds to the KCC2 co-transporter with high affinity and potentiates KCC2 activity without modifying its plasma membrane accumulation or key regulatory phosphorylation sites.Is brain-penetrant and does not show overt effects on behavior in mice. Following subcutaneous injection, OV350 was detected in the brain at 30 minutes, reached a maximal concentration at 4 hours, and maintained that level at 8 hours. During this time, there were no observable changes in animal behavior, including no sedative effect as commonly seen with many antiseizure medicines.Increases KCC2 activity in neurons and efficiently reduces Cl - accumulation to moderate hyperexcitability.Potential Anticonvulsant & Neuroprotective PropertiesData published from multiple animal models suggest that OV350, at a consistent studied dose, provided significant anticonvulsant properties. Additionally, when OV350 was prophylactically administered, it appeared to prevent seizures in a mouse model.Results were reported from two validated pharmacological screening models: the convulsant pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) model and the kainate-resistant status epilepticus model. These findings suggest OV350:Terminated ongoing resistant status epilepticus and restored the efficacy of benzodiazepines. In this model, mice were administered kainate, a convulsant that induces status epilepticus-like seizures, which are typically resistant to benzodiazepines. These seizures are then monitored by electroencephalogram (EEG). Initially, 62% of mice exhibited insensitivity to diazepam, a common benzodiazepine, and continued to experience status epilepticus. When an intravenous dose of OV350 was injected in tandem with diazepam, the resistant status epilepticus was effectively arrested. Levels of OV350 that were sufficient to activate KCC2 remained present in the brain for at least 15 hours.Prevents the development of benzodiazepine resistant status epilepticus. In a separate kainate model, mice that had received pre-treatment of OV350, versus diazepam alone, exhibited delayed onset of the first seizure and spent less time experiencing seizure activity than mice that had received pre-treatment with the comparator vehicle and diazepam. The mice that received OV350 were significantly more responsive to treatment with diazepam, suggesting OV350 may provide a synergistic potentiation.Reduces neuronal cell injury and death following status epilepticus. In kainate-induced seizure models, neuronal cell death across brain regions is commonly observed in animals up to 72 hours post-treatment. However, in mice treated with OV350 at 48 hours post-treatment, no cell mortality was seen. The same animal cohort showed a reduced number of dead brain cells post-mortem.KCC2 activation protects against PTZ-induced motor seizures. In a mouse model, OV350 was shown to freely distribute in the brain and protect against late-stage seizures induced by PTZ.'These data support the hypothesis that activating the KCC2 co-transporter may have significant implications for mitigating conditions caused by neuronal hyperexcitability, such as seizures and additional neurological conditions. With our colleagues at Ovid, we are excited to explore the independent properties of this portfolio of compounds, as well as their potential ability to restore the therapeutic efficacy of benzodiazepines,' stated Dr. Moss.Findings from some of the published models were previously presented at the American Epilepsy Society (AES) Annual Meeting in December 2022, and published in Cell Reports Medicine publication in February 2023.About The KCC2 Portfolio & OV350Ovid is developing a portfolio of potential first-in-class direct activators of the KCC2 (potassium chloride cotransporter isoform 2) transporter. Ovid believes these compounds may have therapeutic application in common and rare epilepsies, as well as other neurological conditions. Ovid seeks to develop multiple programs from the KCC2 portfolio amenable for various modes of administration. The lead compound in the portfolio is an intravenous formulation of OV350 that is being actively characterized in preclinical studies.About Ovid TherapeuticsOvid Therapeutics Inc. is a New York-based biopharmaceutical company striving to conquer seizures and brain disorders with courageous science.

The AEGEAN results provide compelling evidence that this novel durvalumab regimen can drive improved outcomes in this curative-intent setting."Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: "Patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer face unacceptably high rates of recurrence, despite treatment with chemotherapy and surgery. We have shown that adding Imfinzi both before and after surgery significantly increased the time patients live without recurrence or progression events. We will continue to follow patients for overall survival."Imfinzi was well tolerated and no new safety concerns were observed in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings. Further, adding Imfinzi to neoadjuvant chemotherapy was consistent with the known profile for this combination and did not increase complications or adverse events, or compromise patients' ability to undergo surgery versus chemotherapy alone.These data will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting and shared with global health authorities.AstraZeneca has a comprehensive portfolio of approved and potential new medicines in development for patients with lung cancer.

Patients with known EGFR or ALK genomic tumour aberrations were excluded from the primary efficacy analyses.In the AEGEAN trial, the primary endpoints were pCR, defined as no viable tumour in the resection specimen (including lymph nodes) following neoadjuvant therapy, and EFS, defined as the time from randomisation to an event like tumour recurrence, progression precluding definitive surgery, or death. Key secondary endpoints were mPR, defined as residual viable tumour of less than or equal to 10% in the resected primary tumour following neoadjuvant therapy, DFS, OS, safety and quality of life. The final pathologic response analyses were performed after all patients had the opportunity for surgery and pathology assessment per the trial protocol. The trial enrolled participants in 264 centres in more than 25 countries including in the US, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia.ImfinziImfinzi (durvalumab) is a human monoclonal antibody that binds to the PD-L1 protein and blocks the interaction of PD-L1 with the PD-1 and CD80 proteins, countering the tumour's immune-evading tactics and releasing the inhibition of immune responses.Imfinzi is the only approved immunotherapy and the global standard of care in the curative-intent setting of unresectable, Stage III NSCLC in patients whose disease has not progressed after chemoradiation therapy based on the PACIFIC Phase III trial.Imfinzi is also approved in the US, EU, Japan, China and many other countries around the world for the treatment of extensive-stage SCLC based on the CASPIAN Phase III trial. In an exploratory analysis in 2021, updated results from the CASPIAN trial showed Imfinzi plus chemotherapy tripled patient survival at three years versus chemotherapy alone. Additionally, Imfinzi is approved in combination with a short course of Imjudo (tremelimumab) and chemotherapy for the treatment of metastatic NSCLC in the US, EU and Japan based on the POSEIDON Phase III trial.In addition to its indications in lung cancer, Imfinzi is also approved in combination withchemotherapy in locally advanced or metastatic biliary tract cancer in the US, EU, Japan and several other countries; in combination with Imjudo in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma in the US, EU and Japan; and in previously treated patients with advanced bladder cancer in several countries.Since the first approval in May 2017, more than 150,000 patients have been treated with Imfinzi.AstraZeneca has several ongoing registrational trials focused on testing Imfinzi in earlier stages of lung cancer, including in resectable NSCLC (ADJUVANT BR.31) and unresectable NSCLC (PACIFIC-2, 4, 5, 8 and 9), and in limited-stage SCLC (ADRIATIC).As part of a broad development programme, Imfinzi is being tested as a single treatment and in combinations with other anti-cancer treatments for patients with SCLC, NSCLC, bladder cancer, several gastrointestinal (GI) cancers, ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer and other solid tumours.AstraZeneca in lung cancerAstraZeneca is working to bring patients with lung cancer closer to cure through the detection and treatment of early-stage disease, while also pushing the boundaries of science to improve outcomes in the resistant and advanced settings. By defining new therapeutic targets and investigating innovative approaches, the Company aims to match medicines to the patients who can benefit most.The Company's comprehensive portfolio includes leading lung cancer medicines and the next wave of innovations, including Tagrisso and Iressa (gefitinib); Imfinzi and Imjudo; Enhertu (trastuzumab deruxtecan) and datopotamab deruxtecan in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo; Orpathys (savolitinib) in collaboration with HUTCHMED; as well as a pipeline of potential new medicines and combinations across diverse mechanisms of action.AstraZeneca is a founding member of the Lung Ambition Alliance, a global coalition working to accelerate innovation and deliver meaningful improvements for people with lung cancer, including and beyond treatment.AstraZeneca in immuno-oncology (IO)AstraZeneca is a pioneer in introducing the concept of immunotherapy into dedicated clinical areas of high unmet medical need. The Company has a comprehensive and diverse IO portfolio and pipeline anchored in immunotherapies designed to overcome evasion of the anti-tumour immune response and stimulate the body's immune system to attack tumours.AstraZeneca aims to reimagine cancer care and help transform outcomes for patients with Imfinzi as a single treatment and in combination with Imjudo as well as other novel immunotherapies and modalities. The Company is also exploring next-generation immunotherapies like bispecific antibodies and therapeutics that harness different aspects of immunity to target cancer.AstraZeneca is boldly pursuing an innovative clinical strategy to bring IO-based therapies that deliver long-term survival to new settings across a wide range of cancer types. With an extensive clinical programme, the Company also champions the use of IO treatment in earlier disease stages, where there is the greatest potential for cure.AstraZeneca in oncologyAstraZeneca is leading a revolution in oncology with the ambition to provide cures for cancer in every form, following the science to understand cancer and all its complexities to discover, develop and deliver life-changing medicines to patients.The Company's focus is on some of the most challenging cancers.

In September 2022, updated results demonstrated a median DFS of nearly five and a half years.Per the ADAURA trial protocol, patients on placebo that recurred with metastatic disease had the opportunity to receive open-label Tagrisso.Roy S. Herbst, MD, PhD, Deputy Director and Chief of Medical Oncology at Yale Cancer Center and Smilow Cancer Hospital, New Haven, Connecticut, and principal investigator in the ADAURA Phase III trial, said: "These new survival data for osimertinib reinforce the unprecedented ADAURA disease-free survival results and confirm its potential to extend patients' lives in early-stage disease. The ADAURA results provide powerful evidence that osimertinib offers the best possible care for patients with early-stage EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer who historically faced high rates of recurrence and previously had no targeted options after surgery."Susan Galbraith, Executive Vice President, Oncology R&D, AstraZeneca, said: "The ADAURA trial brought the first targeted medicine to patients with early-stage EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer. Today, these exciting overall survival results validate adjuvant Tagrisso as the standard of care in this setting and reinforce the importance of early diagnosis and testing for EGFR mutation in lung cancer."The safety and tolerability of Tagrisso in the ADAURA trial were consistent with its established profile and no new safety concerns were reported.These new ADAURA OS results in the early-stage resectable setting add to the extensive body of evidence for Tagrisso in EGFRm NSCLC which has now shown a statistically significant and clinically meaningful OS benefit in both the early adjuvant and late-stage metastatic settings. The data will be presented at a forthcoming medical meeting.Each year there are an estimated 2.2 million people diagnosed with lung cancer globally with 80-85% of patients diagnosed with NSCLC, the most common form of lung cancer.1-3 Approximately 25-30% of all patients with NSCLC are diagnosed early enough to have surgery with curative intent.4-5 Further, 73% of patients with Stage IB and 56-65% of patients with Stage II disease will survive for five years.6 This decreases to 41% for patients with Stage IIIA and 24% for patients with Stage IIIB disease, reflecting a high unmet medical need.6AstraZeneca has several ongoing registrational trials focused on testing Tagrisso in earlier stages of lung cancer, including in the neoadjuvant resectable setting (NeoADAURA), in the Stage IA2-IA3 adjuvant resectable setting (ADAURA2), and in the Stage III locally advanced unresectable setting (LAURA).Tagrisso is approved to treat early-stage lung cancer in more than 90 countries, including in the US, EU, China and Japan, and additional global regulatory reviews are ongoing. Tagrisso is also approved for the 1st-line treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic EGFRm NSCLC and for the treatment of locally advanced or metastatic EGFR T790M mutation-positive NSCLC in the US, EU, China, Japan and many other countries.AstraZeneca has a comprehensive portfolio of approved and potential new medicines in development for patients with lung cancer. In addition to these results, the Company has also announced today positive results from the AEGEAN Phase III trial of Imfinzi (durvalumab) in combination with neoadjuvant chemotherapy before surgery and as adjuvant monotherapy after surgery in Stage IIA-IIIB resectable NSCLC.NotesLung cancerLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women, accounting for about one-fifth of all cancer deaths.1 Lung cancer is broadly split into NSCLC and small cell lung cancer.2 The majority of all NSCLC patients are diagnosed with advanced disease while approximately 25-30% present with resectable disease at diagnosis.4-5 Early-stage lung cancer diagnoses are often only made when the cancer is found on imaging for an unrelated condition.7-8For patients with resectable tumours, the majority eventually develop recurrence despite complete tumour resection and adjuvant chemotherapy.9Approximately 10-15% of NSCLC patients in the US and Europe, and 30-40% of patients in Asia have EGFRm NSCLC.10-12 These patients are particularly sensitive to treatment with an EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) which block the cell-signalling pathways that drive the growth of tumour cells.13ADAURAADAURA was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, global Phase III trial in the adjuvant treatment of 682 patients with Stage IB, II, IIIA EGFRm NSCLC following complete tumour resection and, at physicians' and patients' discretion, adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients were treated with Tagrisso 80mg once-daily oral tablets or placebo for three years or until disease recurrence.The trial was enrolled in more than 200 centres across more than 20 countries, including the US, Europe, South America, Asia and the Middle East. The primary endpoint was DFS in Stage II and IIIA patients and key secondary endpoints included DFS in Stage IB, II and IIIA patients, and OS in both the primary and overall populations.Though the primary data readout was originally anticipated in 2022, data from the trial were reported early following a recommendation from an Independent Data Monitoring Committee (IDMC) based on its determination of overwhelming efficacy.TagrissoTagrisso (osimertinib) is a third-generation, irreversible EGFR-TKI with proven clinical activity in NSCLC, including against central nervous system metastases. Tagrisso (40mg and 80mg once-daily oral tablets) has been used to treat nearly 700,000 patients across its indications worldwide and AstraZeneca continues to explore Tagrisso as a treatment for patients across multiple stages of EGFRm NSCLC.In addition to investigating Tagrisso in early-stage disease, AstraZeneca is also studying the medicine in combination with chemotherapy in locally advanced and metastatic EGFRm NSCLC (FLAURA2). The Company is also researching ways to address tumour mechanisms of resistance through the SAVANNAH and ORCHARD Phase II trials, and the SAFFRON Phase III trial, which test Tagrisso given concomitantly with savolitinib, an oral, potent and highly selective MET TKI, as well as other potential new medicines.AstraZeneca in lung cancerAstraZeneca is working to bring patients with lung cancer closer to cure through the detection and treatment of early-stage disease, while also pushing the boundaries of science to improve outcomes in the resistant and advanced settings.

Olin Professor in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, at Cornell Engineering; and J. Anand Subramony, vice president of protein engineering research and development at AstraZeneca at the time of the study.Targeted cancer treatments such as antibody and nanoparticle therapies have seen narrow clinical use because of each therapy's limitations, but the new therapeutic - an evolution of what the researchers call Cornell prime dots, or C' dots - combines the best attributes of both into an ultrasmall, powerfully effective system.As silica nanoparticles just 6 nanometers in size, C' dots are small enough to penetrate tumors and safely pass through organs once injected into the body. Wiesner first developed them more than 15 years ago and, in collaboration with Bradbury, published a 2018 study that found an antibody fragment-nanoparticle hybrid to be especially effective in finding tumors.This collaborative work with AstraZeneca set off the search for a new, molecularly engineered therapeutic version of this immuno-conjugate.AstraZeneca 'site engineered' fragments of antibodies so they would effectively attach to the C' dots and target HER2 proteins associated with gastric cancer. The team optimized fragment conjugation to the C' dot surface, along with specialized inhibitor drugs developed by AstraZeneca. This enabled the nanoparticles to carry about five times more drugs than most antibodies.The final product was a version of C' dots, armed with cancer-targeting antibody fragments and a large drug payload, all packed into a sub-7-nanometer, drug-immune conjugate therapy - a first of its kind in that size class, according to the researchers.'We describe the mode of action as 'hit and run,'' Wiesner said, 'because the C' dots either target the tumor microenvironment and kill the tumor cells or get safely cleared out of the body via renal clearance as a result of their small size, thereby minimizing off-target accumulation and associated side effects and toxicity.'Mice with gastric cancer received three doses of the therapeutic. Not only did the treatment eradicate the disease in every mouse, but there was no evidence of tumor recurrence after nearly 200 days.'Usually you'd have to couple the treatment with other therapies to see those kind of long-term results,' Bradbury said. 'It showed that the very detailed, careful work of this team - the years spent on the stoichiometry and the surface chemical developments - it paid off.'Bradbury underscored the versatility of the C' dots platform, and said she envisions it being used not as a replacement for antibody treatments, but as a complementary tool that can be adapted to different types of cancers and other specific needs of patients.'C' dots have become unusually efficacious and safe in treating cancer. They completely obliterated the tumor, even at the cellular level,' said Wiesner. 'This is what we ultimately had hoped for and it further supports our earlier decision to bet on therapeutic C' dot applications.'Wiesner and Bradbury said the research behind the new C' dot therapeutic will be continued by Elucida Oncology, a startup company they founded to help bring the technology to market. They said that while Elucida is not using antibody fragments in their current clinical trial of C' dots, the work will help them build new conjugates that can potentially utilize such fragments in future trials.Syl Kacapyr is associate director of marketing and communications for the College of Engineering.(C) 2023 Electronic News Publishing, source ENP Newswire \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/AZN/2023.03.22/Astrazeneca : Marked up version of proposed new Articles to be considered by shareholders ...txt b/news/AZN/2023.03.22/Astrazeneca : Marked up version of proposed new Articles to be considered by shareholders ...txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..628d94dd70e433d5d9ccb8acd3173f1a80114718 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/AZN/2023.03.22/Astrazeneca : Marked up version of proposed new Articles to be considered by shareholders ...txt @@ -0,0 +1,365 @@ + + + + No. 2723534 + + + THE COMPANIES ACT 2006 + + + PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES + + + ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION + + + OF + + + ASTRAZENECA PLC + + + Incorporated 17 June 1992 + + +Registered Office: + + + 1 Francis Crick Avenue + + + Cambridge Biomedical Campus + + + Cambridge CB2 0AA + + + + + + COMPANY NO. 2723534 + + + COMPANIES ACT 2006 + + + A PUBLIC COMPANY LIMITED BY SHARES + + + ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION + + + of + + + AstraZeneca PLC + + + (adopted by special resolution passed on 18 May 2018[●]) + + +PRELIMINARY + + + + + + Table A + + + + + 1.

This is the first approved indication for Calquence in China.The conditional approval by the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) was based on positive results from two clinical trials, including the ACE-LY-004 global Phase II trial in adults with relapsed or refractory MCL and a Phase I/ II trial in Chinese patients with relapsed or refractory MCL and other B-cell malignancies.1,2 Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of ongoing randomised controlled confirmatory trials.MCL is typically an aggressive, rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that accounts for between 2-6% of all patients diagnosed with NHL in China. Patients are generally diagnosed around 60 years of age, often at later stages of the disease.3Jun Zhu, Chief Physician, Department of Lymphatic Oncology, Peking University Cancer Hospital, Beijing, said: "Mantle cell lymphoma progresses rapidly and responds poorly to conventional treatment such as immunochemotherapy. Before the emergence of BTK inhibitors, there were few satisfactory treatment options for patients. The next-generation BTK inhibitor Calquence has higher target selectivity, fewer side effects, and a higher response rate compared to currently available treatments. This approval of Calquence in China can provide a new treatment option which can better benefit patients with this disease."Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: "This approval for Calquence offers people living with mantle cell lymphoma in China an effective and tolerable new treatment option to help control their disease. As the first approval in China for Calquence, it is also an exciting step forward for AstraZeneca in blood cancers, enabling us to help more patients across the globe gain access to innovative treatments."Results from the ACE-LY-004 Phase II trial showed at a median follow up of 15.2 months, investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR) with Calquence was 80.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] 72.6-87.2), with a complete response (CR) achieved in 39.5% of patients with relapsed or refractory MCL (95% CI 30.9-48.7).1 Longer-term follow-up data showed at 38.1 months, patients treated with Calquence remained progression-free for a median of 22 months, with median overall survival (OS) of 59.2 months (95% CI 36.5-NE).4Additionally, results from a Phase I/II trial conducted in China showed Calquence achieved a 82.4% ORR, with a CR achieved in 35.3% of patients with MCL based on a blinded independent central-review (BICR) analysis (95% CI 65.5-93.2). Calquence reduced the risk of disease progression or death by 51.5% (95% CI 33.3-67.0) at 12 months, with an estimated duration of response (DOR) of 65.5% (95% CI 66.6-93.3). The median DOR was not reached.2The safety and tolerability of Calquence in these trials was consistent with that observed in previous clinical trials.1,2,4Calquence is approved for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) in the US and Japan and is approved for the treatment of CLL in the EU and in several other countries worldwide in the treatment-naïve and relapsed or refractory settings. Calquence is also approved in the US and several other countries for the treatment of adult patients with MCL who have received at least one prior therapy. Calquence is not currently approved for the treatment of MCL in Japan or the EU.NotesMantle cell lymphoma (MCL)MCL is a rare B-cell malignancy subtype and is typically clinically aggressive with a poor prognosis.3 The epidemiology of MCL in Asia is not well documented, with few published datasets describing the incidence and outcomes.3 MCL accounts for between 2-6% of all patients diagnosed with NHL China.3 Patients are generally diagnosed around 60 years of age and often at later stages of disease (Stage III or IV).3ACE-LY-004ACE-LY-004 is an open-label, single-arm Phase II clinical trial evaluating Calquence in adult patients with relapsed or refractory MCL.5 Patients in the trial were adults with MCL and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) of 2 or lower who had relapsed or were refractory to 1-5 prior therapies, had no prior BTK/BCL-2 inhibitor exposure, and did not require warfarin/vitamin K antagonists. Patients received oral Calquence 100mg twice-daily until progressive disease or toxicity. ORR (investigator-assessed partial response or better per Lugano classification), DOR, progression-free survival (PFS), OS and safety were assessed.1Phase I/II trial in Chinese patientsThe Phase I/II trial is an open-label, multicentre clinical trial evaluating pharmacokinetics, safety and efficacy of Calquence in adult Chinese patients with relapsed or refractory MCL and other advanced B-cell malignancies.2 In Phase I, patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell malignancies received a single dose of Calquence 100mg orally followed by a two-day washout period and subsequent treatment with Calquence 100mg orally twice daily in 28-day cycles, until progressive disease (PD) or treatment discontinuation (TD) for any other reason. In Phase II, patients with relapsed or refractory MCL and ECOG status of 2 or lower received Calquence 100mg orally twice daily in 28-day cycles until PD or TD. The primary efficacy endpoint was ORR per Lugano classification for NHL assessed by BICR. Secondary endpoints were investigator-assessed ORR, BICR- and investigator-assessed time to response, DOR, PFS, OS and adverse events. 2CalquenceCalquence (acalabrutinib) is a next-generation, selective inhibitor of BTK. Calquence binds covalently to BTK, thereby inhibiting its activity.6 In B cells, BTK signalling results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell proliferation, trafficking, chemotaxis and adhesion.Calquence is approved for the treatment of CLL and SLL in the US, approved for CLL in the EU and many other countries worldwide and approved in Japan for relapsed or refractory CLL and SLL.As part of an extensive clinical development programme, AstraZeneca is currently evaluating Calquence in more than 20 company-sponsored clinical trials. Calquence is being evaluated for the treatment of multiple B-cell blood cancers, including CLL, MCL, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia, marginal zone lymphoma and other haematologic malignancies.AstraZeneca in haematologyAstraZeneca is pushing the boundaries of science to redefine care in haematology.

If approved, tofersen would potentially represent a major advance for people living with SOD1-ALS,” said Priya Singhal, M.D., M.P.H, Executive Vice President and Head of Development and interim Head of Research and Global Safety and Regulatory Sciences at Biogen. “We thank the FDA for convening this important discussion. Most importantly, we are grateful to all the people with SOD1-ALS who participated in our tofersen studies, and their caregivers, families, study investigators and the entire community, without whom this scientific progress could not have been made.”FDA Advisory Committees provide non-binding recommendations for consideration by the FDA. The New Drug Application for tofersen for the treatment of SOD1-ALS was submitted to the FDA for consideration under accelerated approval. The FDA is continuing its review of tofersen with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act action date of April 25, 2023.About TofersenTofersen is an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) being evaluated as a treatment for SOD1-ALS. In people with this form of the disease, mutations in their SOD1 gene cause their bodies to create a toxic form of SOD1 protein. This toxic protein causes motor neurons to degenerate, resulting in progressive muscle weakness. Tofersen is designed to bind to SOD1 mRNA and reduce SOD1 protein production.In addition to the ongoing open label extension of the Phase 3 VALOR study, tofersen is being studied in the Phase 3 ATLAS study designed to evaluate whether tofersen can delay clinical onset when initiated in presymptomatic individuals with a SOD1 genetic mutation and biomarker evidence of disease activity. Biogen licensed tofersen from Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. under a collaborative development and license agreement.About Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and SOD1-ALSAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an ultra-rare, progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disease that results in the loss of motor neurons in the brain and the spinal cord that are responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. People with ALS experience muscle weakness and atrophy, causing them to lose independence as they steadily lose the ability to move, speak, eat, and eventually breathe. Average life expectancy for people with ALS is three to five years from time of symptom onset.1Multiple genes have been implicated in ALS. Genetic testing helps determine if a person’s ALS is associated with a genetic mutation, even in individuals without a family history of the disease. Currently, there are no genetically targeted treatment options for ALS. SOD1-ALS is diagnosed in approximately 2 percent of all ALS cases, impacting about 330 people in the United States.2 While there are medications approved for broad ALS, no available treatments target a genetic mutation associated with ALS. Approximately 5-10 percent of people with ALS are thought to have a genetic form of the disease;1 however, they may not have a known family history of the disease.Biogen’s Continuous Commitment to ALSFor over a decade, Biogen has been committed to advancing ALS research to provide a deeper understanding of all forms of the disease. The company has continued to invest in and pioneer research despite making the difficult decision to discontinue a late-stage ALS asset in 2013. Biogen has applied important learnings to its portfolio of assets for genetic and other forms of ALS, with the goal of increasing the probability of bringing a potential therapy to patients in need. These applied learnings include evaluating genetically validated targets in defined patient populations, pursuing the most appropriate modality for each target and employing sensitive clinical endpoints. Today, the company has a pipeline of investigational drugs being evaluated in ALS, including tofersen and BIIB105.About BiogenFounded in 1978, Biogen is a leading global biotechnology company that has pioneered multiple breakthrough innovations including a broad portfolio of medicines to treat multiple sclerosis, the first approved treatment for spinal muscular atrophy, and two co-developed treatments to address a defining pathology of Alzheimer’s disease.

More specifically, HIF Global and Baker Hughes intend to test Baker Hughes’ Mosaic DAC technology pilot units to accelerate DAC deployment at commercial scale.Cesar Norton, HIF Global CEO, said, “Groundbreaking technologies like Mosaic that enable efficient, low-cost CO2 capture from our atmosphere represent the future of CO2 recycling. Cooperation with our partner Baker Hughes on this important DAC initiative accelerates our plan to capture 25 million tons per year of CO2 and combine it with green hydrogen to produce 150,000 barrels per day of eFuels and decarbonize over 5 million vehicles in use today.”“Collaboration is key to supporting and accelerating the energy transition to address climate change, and we are pleased to work alongside HIF to support their significant efforts in deploying eFuels at scale, leveraging our Mosaic DAC technology,” said Lorenzo Simonelli, chairman and CEO of Baker Hughes. “This milestone agreement further illustrates the strength of Baker Hughes’ extended portfolio of Climate Technology Solutions, which includes a variety of CCUS technologies, and validates our strategy and commitment toward decarbonization.”Acquired by Baker Hughes in April 2022 to enhance its carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) portfolio, Mosaic Materials is focused on developing a proprietary direct air capture technology using Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) materials that can be used to separate CO2 from the atmosphere. Baker Hughes is leveraging its advanced capabilities, including modular design and material science, to develop and scale Mosaic’s innovative technology with the goal to enable direct air capture with higher efficiency and lower cost.HIF has two pioneering sites where it anticipates possible deployment of Baker Hughes’ Mosaic DAC technology. In Chile, the HIF Haru Oni eFuels Facility began producing its first fuels in December 2022 in Magallanes. The eFuels facility produces green hydrogen from wind electricity and water and combines the hydrogen with recycled carbon dioxide to produce eFuels, synthetic fuels that can be dropped-in to existing vehicles without any modifications to their engines. HIF Global is also completing the engineering for the first world scale eFuels facility in Matagorda County, Texas, and expects to begin construction in 2024.Baker Hughes has more than 20 years of experience in CCUS technologies. The company’s portfolio of CCUS solutions, technologies, and services includes: pre-FEED and FEED consultation, project design, capture and purification, fit-for-purpose CO2 compression technology, well design and construction for storage, carbon transportation and injection, and monitoring and site stewardship.About Baker HughesBaker Hughes (NASDAQ: BKR) is an energy technology company that provides solutions to energy and industrial customers worldwide.

This measure eliminates the significant level of noncash depreciation and amortization expense that results from the capital-intensive nature of certain of our businesses and from intangible assets recognized in business combinations. It is also unaffected by our capital and tax structures, and by our investment activities, including the results of entities that we do not consolidate, as our management excludes these results when evaluating our operating performance. Our management and Board of Directors use this financial measure to evaluate our consolidated operating performance and the operating performance of our operating segments and to allocate resources and capital to our operating segments.

Comcast's funding, which will be distributed over two years, will support The Hidden Genius Project's expansion to new markets in Atlanta and Chicago this year.Representation within the tech sector continues to be starkly inequitable. Black Americans occupy just 7% of tech jobs, although they account for 14% of the national population. Founded in 2012, The Hidden Genius Project has provided mentorship, career planning and tech skills training to hundreds of Black male high school youth in Oakland, Richmond and Los Angeles, CA, and Detroit, MI through their Intensive Immersion Program. Program participants have a 98% high school graduation rate with 95% entering post-secondary education and over 40% of alumni studying computer science or related fields. Building on this track record, Comcast's funding will help even more former program participants gain post-secondary education and support the development of Genius Lab, an innovative new curriculum for young people of color to gain computer science, software development and entrepreneurship skills."Our continued partnership with Comcast NBCUniversal will equip us to engage even more Black youth with the skills, experiences, and networks to find their way into family-sustaining career pathways, including the tech sector," said Brandon Nicholson, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of The Hidden Genius Project. "With ample access, our young people regularly realize their potential to pursue meaningful and exciting pathways, and subsequently create future opportunities not only for themselves, but also their entire community.""As the lack of digital skills continues to be a determinant of future economic opportunity, we must ensure that young Black men have access to the resources and programming that will put them on a path to success in our digital economy," said Dalila Wilson-Scott, EVP and Chief Diversity Officer of Comcast Corporation and President of the Comcast NBCUniversal Foundation. "For years, The Hidden Genius Project has proven to be a key partner in helping young people acquire the knowledge and resources needed to ensure long-term upward mobility and create generational change.""Comcast is proud to deepen our commitment to help empower these Geniuses and future leaders pave the way to even greater innovation and equity within the tech sector and beyond."- DALILA WILSON-SCOTTThis grant announcement marks the continuation of Comcast's seven-year partnership with The Hidden Genius Project, which has enabled programmatic, volunteer and outreach collaboration in local communities across the country.

A Cisco spokesperson said the ruling reinforces that the PTO's patent review proceedings are "an important vehicle to preserve a balanced patent system, protect innovation, and assure patent quality in the United States."Representatives for the other plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The PTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board is popular with big tech companies that are often targeted with patent lawsuits and that use the board's "inter partes review" process to contest patents they are accused of infringing. An internal rule that gave the agency's judges greater discretion to deny inter partes review petitions "dramatically reduced access" to the process, the companies told the appeals court.Apple, Google, Cisco, Intel Corp and Edwards Lifesciences Corp sued the PTO in the California federal court in 2020 over the rule. They argued it undermined the role inter partes review plays in "protecting a strong patent system" and violated federal law. Companies including Tesla, Honda, Comcast and Dell filed briefs at the Federal Circuit in support of the plaintiffs.The California court dismissed the case in 2021, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions on whether to review inter partes review petitions cannot be appealed. The Federal Circuit also rejected the companies' arguments that the rule was arbitrary and violated U.S. patent law. But the three-judge panel said the PTO may have been required to hold a period of public notice and comment before making the rule, and that it could be challenged based on that argument.The case is Apple Inc v.

Once construction is complete, all of these homes and businesses will have the foundational next-generation network in place to introduce new multi-gigabit Internet options.Comcast is introducing fiber-rich network improvements that will offer Oregon customers upload speeds up to 10 times faster than the fastest they have now. And the network upgrade will extend throughout Comcast’s service area in Oregon to every community, zip code, and neighborhood served by the network.“We know that high-speed Internet access in rural areas is linked to increased job and population growth, higher rates of new business formation and home values, and lower unemployment rates,” said Rodrigo Lopez, Senior Regional Vice President of Comcast’s Pacific Northwest Region. ““That is why Comcast is committed to expanding its existing network to additional underserved residents, businesses and communities in Oregon that currently do not have access to reliable, high-speed Internet.”The network expansion is the latest example of Comcast’s investment to connect more households and businesses in the Pacific Northwest to its Internet services that deliver fast speeds, more reliability, broader coverage in the home, and greater capacity to support customers’ growing Internet usage. Comcast expanded service to more than 19,000 additional homes and businesses last year in Oregon. Further, the company has invested more than $504 million in technology and infrastructure investments in Oregon during the previous three years, including network expansion and upgrades.Eagle Creek and Estacada residents also will have access to Internet Essentials, the largest and most comprehensive low-cost Internet adoption program for low-income Americans.

"Now he has been falsely portrayed as a perjurer, a criminal, and of being completely unfit to practice his profession.""The Dropout" made its debut last March.Neither Disney nor Hulu immediately responded to requests for comment. Disney owns 67% of Hulu, while Comcast Corp's NBCUniversal owns 33%.Richard Altman, a lawyer for Rosendorff, said neither he nor his client would have additional comment.Holmes, 39, was found guilty in January 2022 and later sentenced to 11-1/4 years in prison for defrauding investors in Theranos, which was once valued at $9 billion.Now a mother of two young children, Holmes is trying to delay her sentence while she appeals her conviction. Prosecutors have opposed a delay, calling Holmes a flight risk.The case is Rosendorff v Hulu LLC et al, New York State Supreme Court, New York County, No. 152734/2023.

Petrowest Corp., 2022 SCC 41, which concerned the enforceability of arbitration agreements in a receivership proceeding. The SCC ultimately denied to court proceedings commenced by the receiver but made it clear that such a finding was exceptional and Canadian law generally defers to and promotes arbitration proceedings. The SCC expressed a "legislative and judicial preference for holding parties to arbitration agreements".So far in 2023, Canadian courts appear to be continuing this pro-arbitration trend. This article summarizes two noteworthy decisions concerning the arbitration of complex commercial disputes: 3-Sigma v Ostara, 2023 BCSC 100 and Costco Wholesale Corporation v. TicketOps Corporation, 2023 ONSC 573. The cases concern, among other things, non-signatory issues and the bounds of procedural fairness in arbitration.3-Sigma v Ostara, 2023 BCSC 100In 3-Sigma, the plaintiffs were shareholders of the defendant corporation (Ostara). They claimed that through a plan of arrangement, Ostara had orchestrated a sale of shares to its largest shareholder in such a way as to withhold the benefits of that sale from the plaintiffs. Other defendants included Ostara's majority shareholders, directors and senior management. The defendants sought a stay of the court proceeding on the basis that the claim was subject to a mandatory arbitration agreement found in a shareholders' agreement.More particularly, the defendants relied on section 7 of B.C.'s Arbitration Act, which provides that a party to a legal proceeding may apply for a stay of those proceedings on the basis the parties agreed to submit the matter to arbitration. Pertinent to this analysis was the fact that several of the plaintiffs and defendants were not signatories to the shareholder agreement.DecisionA main issue before the B.C. court was "whether the parties to the claim [were] parties to an agreement to arbitrate".In resolving this issue, the BC Supreme Court began by explaining that the "guiding principle" for applications to stay court proceedings is "competence-competence". In other words, such applications must be guided by the foundational principle that arbitrators—not the court—are to decide the scope of an arbitration agreement in the first instance. It likewise follows that the burden on the party seeking the stay is low, requiring only an "arguable case" that the legal proceeding falls within an agreement to arbitrate.Accordingly, the BC Supreme Court analyzed whether it was "arguable" that the non-signatory shareholders to the agreements were nevertheless bound by the arbitration clause. The court found, among other things, that the definition of shareholder under the agreements rendered it at least arguable the claims were subject to arbitration.In the result, the court stayed the litigation in favour of the arbitration. While it may have been thought, at some time, that non-signatories would not be required to arbitrate, 3-Sigma demonstrates this is not the case.Costco Wholesale Corporation v. TicketOps Corporation, 2023 ONSC 573This case concerned digital ticketing services provided by TicketOps to Costco. TicketOps was a wholesaler of digital tickets and would receive payments from Costco that were supposed to be passed on to ticket suppliers. However, during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, TicketOps stopped forwarding payments to suppliers in breach of the agreement with Costco. The parties' contract contained an arbitration clause, requiring arbitration seated in Seattle.Costco thereafter commenced in an arbitration against TicketOps and was successful. Costco then sought enforce the award in Ontario. TicketOps opposed enforcement of the award in Canada.DecisionIn approaching the enforcement issue, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice confirmed that the applicable law was Ontario's International Commercial Arbitration Act, 2017, which incorporates the UNCITRAL Model Law and New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.The court held that the Convention and Model Law mandate that domestic courts are to not interfere with international arbitration awards except in limited cases. More particularly, the court held that the grounds to refuse enforcement "are to be construed narrowly". Likewise, the court held that once a party shows the award was made by a court of competent jurisdiction is final and for a definite sum of money, then the only defences available to a respondent are "fraud, public policy and lack of natural justice". Lack of fairness or natural justice requires something contrary to basic notions of justice; whereas public policy "is not a remedy to be used lightly".In this case, TicketOps raised numerous purported defences as to why the award should not be enforced in Ontario, including that (a) the arbitration clause provided for a summary arbitration hearing lasted only two days; and (b) there was a reasonable apprehension of bias since the arbitrator was a "friend" of counsel to Costco on Facebook.The Ontario court rejected these, and all other grounds, raised by TicketOps in opposition to enforcement. In particular, the court rejected that the admittedly short, two-day hearing, offended natural justice. The court held that "[h]ad the matter been a court proceeding in Ontario, the hearing would likely have been significantly longer than two days. However, it would be ill-advised for an Ontario court to find that: (a) a hearing in an international arbitration proceeding that does not sufficiently resemble a trial in an Ontario court proceeding is contrary to Canadian notions of fundamental justice; and (b) a party to such an international arbitration proceeding is unable to present its case." The court held that TicketOps should be held to its agreement and there could be no procedural unfairness.With respect to the Facebook friend issue, the court rejected that Facebook "friendships" raise a reasonable apprehension of bias. In particular, the court relied on authority from the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal for the proposition that "in today's world, a reasonable and informed person would place little or no weight on the fact that two persons are "friends" on Facebook.Ultimately, the court determined that TicketOps has failed to establish any ground for refusing the recognition and enforcement of the award and the court was duty bound to give effect to the award.OutlookIn sum, it appears that Canadian courts have continued the trend of deferring to commercial arbitrations in early 2023. In particular, courts have stayed litigation in favour of proceedings even where parties did not sign the agreement containing the arbitration agreement and have enforced awards where arbitral procedures did not (at all) resemble civil litigation trials. These decisions accord with the principles set out in the SCC's decision in Peace River. About BLGThe content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

CrowdStrike uses the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate its ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. CrowdStrike believes that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance and facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, as these measures eliminate the effects of certain variables unrelated to CrowdStrike’s overall operating performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. + +Other companies, including companies in CrowdStrike’s industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of CrowdStrike’s non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. + +Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate CrowdStrike’s business. + +Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Profit and Non-GAAP Subscription Gross Margin + +CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP subscription gross profit and non-GAAP subscription gross margin as GAAP subscription gross profit and GAAP subscription gross margin, respectively, excluding stock-based compensation expense, and amortization of acquired intangible assets. + +Non-GAAP Income from Operations + +CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP income from operations as GAAP loss from operations excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, and legal reserve and settlement charges. + +Non-GAAP Net Income Attributable to CrowdStrike + +The company defines non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike as GAAP net loss attributable to CrowdStrike excluding stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets (including purchased patents), acquisition-related expenses, amortization of debt issuance costs and discount, mark-to-market adjustments on deferred compensation liabilities, legal reserve and settlement charges, losses (gains) and other income from strategic investments, gains on deferred compensation assets, and the tax costs for intellectual property integration relating to acquisitions. + +Non-GAAP Net Income per Share Attributable to CrowdStrike Common Stockholders, Diluted + +CrowdStrike defines non-GAAP net income per share attributable to CrowdStrike common stockholders, as non-GAAP net income attributable to CrowdStrike divided by the weighted-average shares outstanding, which includes the dilutive effect of potentially dilutive common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. + +Free Cash Flow + +Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that CrowdStrike defines as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, capitalized internal-use software and website development costs, and purchases of deferred compensation investments. CrowdStrike monitors free cash flow as one measure of its overall business performance, which enables CrowdStrike to analyze its future performance without the effects of non-cash items and allow CrowdStrike to better understand the cash needs of its business. While CrowdStrike believes that free cash flow is useful in evaluating its business, free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that has limitations as an analytical tool, and free cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to, or substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities in accordance with GAAP. The utility of free cash flow as a measure of CrowdStrike’s liquidity is further limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in CrowdStrike’s cash balance for any given period. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate free cash flow differently or not at all, which reduces the usefulness of free cash flow as a tool for comparison. + +Explanation of Operational Measures + +Annual Recurring Revenue + +ARR is calculated as the annualized value of CrowdStrike’s customer subscription contracts as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the next 12 months is renewed on its existing terms.

But what happens if a government agency intervenes on behalf of an employee; is that agency also bound by the arbitration agreement?Cisco Systems, Inc., believed the answer was yes. The California Court of Appeal disagreed (Department of Fair Employment and Housing v Cisco Systems, Inc.)Cisco Systems, one of California's and the nation's largest technology companies, hired an employee referred to as John Doe in September of 2015, to work as an engineer in its Santa Clara facility.Doe was required to sign an arbitration agreement as a condition of his employment. Under the agreement, Cisco and Doe must arbitrate "all disputes or claims arising from or relating to" Doe's employment, including claims of discrimination, retaliation, and harassment.Several years later, Doe filed a complaint with the state's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the agency that enforces California's employment discrimination laws.He alleged that two supervisors had denied him opportunities and disparaged him because, under the traditional caste system of India, he is from the lowest caste, and they are from the highest. He also claimed that Cisco retaliated when he complained to the company.(India's caste system dates back at least 3,000 years. It divides the Hindu population into five tiers: Dalits, traditionally confined to work as street sweepers and latrine cleaners; Shudras, laborers; Vaishyas, farmers, traders, and merchants; Kshatriyas, warriors and rulers; and Brahmins, priests and teachers. Family names often indicate an individual's caste. Despite reform efforts, the system can still affect Indian culture, politics and business.)The Department informed Cisco that it had determined that Doe's complaint had merit. It then sued the company and two supervisors in Santa Clara County Superior Court. It asked the court for an injunction against further violations, compensation for Doe, and other relief. Doe was not a party to the suit.Cisco asked the court to compel the Department to arbitrate the matter, rather than litigating it. The company contended that the agency was acting on Doe's behalf and thus was bound by the arbitration agreement Doe had signed as a condition of his employment.The trial court denied Cisco's request. The company then appealed.The key issue, said the appellate court, was whether an arbitration agreement, such as the one between Cisco and Doe, can bind a third party - in this case, the Department.An arbitration agreement is simply a contract, the justices noted. In it, the parties agree to give up the right to take disputes to court, in exchange for receiving a generally faster and less costly decision from an agreed-upon arbitrator.But any contract requires mutual consent, the justices pointed out; a contract can't exist unless the parties have agreed to the same thing. Parties cannot be compelled to arbitrate a dispute that they have not agreed to resolve that way.Since the Department never consented to resolve disputes with Cisco by arbitration, it "ordinarily" cannot be compelled to arbitrate the complaint involving Doe.There are some very specific circumstances in which a third party could be bound by an arbitration agreement, the justices acknowledged, such as when that third party is acting as the agent of a signer or is the alter ego of a signer.Cisco claimed that was the case here; the Department, it said, was acting as Doe's proxy, and thus should be bound by the arbitration agreement.The justices disagreed. The Department acts on behalf of the public, not just an affected employee, they noted. It, not the employee, decides whether to pursue an employer, and it can seek remedies that are not available to an employee.Even if an employee joins in the litigation filed by the Department, he or she must be represented by separate counsel, and doesn't control the Department's decision-making about the litigation.The United States Supreme Court, the justices pointed out, has similarly held that the federal agency that enforces employment discrimination laws is not bound by an employee's agreement to arbitrate.The appellate court upheld the trial court's denial of Cisco's motion to compel arbitration and awarded costs to the Department.Originally published September 6, 2022The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

Google spokesperson José Castañeda said the company appreciates the decision and looks forward to making its case at the lower court. A Cisco spokesperson said the ruling reinforces that the PTO's patent review proceedings are "an important vehicle to preserve a balanced patent system, protect innovation, and assure patent quality in the United States."Representatives for the other plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The PTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board is popular with big tech companies that are often targeted with patent lawsuits and that use the board's "inter partes review" process to contest patents they are accused of infringing. An internal rule that gave the agency's judges greater discretion to deny inter partes review petitions "dramatically reduced access" to the process, the companies told the appeals court.Apple, Google, Cisco, Intel Corp and Edwards Lifesciences Corp sued the PTO in the California federal court in 2020 over the rule. They argued it undermined the role inter partes review plays in "protecting a strong patent system" and violated federal law. Companies including Tesla, Honda, Comcast and Dell filed briefs at the Federal Circuit in support of the plaintiffs.The California court dismissed the case in 2021, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions on whether to review inter partes review petitions cannot be appealed. The Federal Circuit also rejected the companies' arguments that the rule was arbitrary and violated U.S. patent law. But the three-judge panel said the PTO may have been required to hold a period of public notice and comment before making the rule, and that it could be challenged based on that argument.The case is Apple Inc v.

The index has been developed against the backdrop of a post-COVID, hybrid world, where users and data must be secured wherever work gets done. The report highlights where businesses are doing well and where cybersecurity readiness gaps will widen if global business and security leaders don't take action. + + + + + + + +Only 15% of organizations are 'Mature' enough to be resilient against today's cybersecurity threats.Organizations have moved from an operating model that was largely static – where people operated from single devices from one location, connecting to a static network – to a hybrid world in which they increasingly operate from multiple devices in multiple locations, connect to multiple networks, access applications in the cloud and on the go, and generate an enormous amounts of data. This presents new and unique cybersecurity challenges for companies. +Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Resilience in a Hybrid WorldTitled, Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Resilience in a Hybrid World, the report measures the readiness of companies to maintain cybersecurity resilience against modern threats. These measures cover five core pillars that form the baseline of required defenses: identity, devices, network, application workloads, and data, and encompasses 19 different solutions within the pillars. +Conducted by an independent third party, the double-blind survey asked 6,700 private sector cybersecurity leaders across 27 markets to indicate which of these solutions they had deployed and the stage of deployment. Companies were then classified into four stages of increasing readiness: Beginner, Formative, Progressive and Mature. +FindingsAlongside the stark finding that only 15% of companies are at the Mature stage, more than half (55%) of companies globally fall into the Beginner (8%) or Formative (47%) stages – meaning they are performing below average on cybersecurity readiness. +This readiness gap is telling, not least because 82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next 12 to 24 months. The cost of being unprepared can be substantial, as 60% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last 12 months and 41% of those affected said it cost them at least US$500,000. +"The move to a hybrid world has fundamentally changed the landscape for companies and created even greater cybersecurity complexity. Organizations must stop approaching defense with a mix of point tools and instead, consider integrated platforms to achieve security resilience while reducing complexity," said Jeetu Patel, executive vice president and general manager of security and collaboration at Cisco.

The index has been developed against the backdrop of a post-COVID, hybrid world, where users and data must be secured wherever work gets done. The report highlights where businesses are doing well and where cybersecurity readiness gaps will widen if global business and security leaders don’t take action.Organizations have moved from an operating model that was largely static – where people operated from single devices from one location, connecting to a static network – to a hybrid world in which they increasingly operate from multiple devices in multiple locations, connect to multiple networks, access applications in the cloud and on the go, and generate enormous amount of data. This presents new and unique cybersecurity challenges for companies.Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Resilience in a Hybrid WorldThe Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Resilience in a Hybrid World measures the readiness of companies to maintain cybersecurity resilience against modern threats. These measures cover five core pillars that form the baseline of required defences: identity, devices, network, application workloads, and data, and encompasses 19 different solutions within the pillars.Conducted by an independent third-party, the double-blind survey asked 6,700 private sector cybersecurity leaders across 27 markets to indicate which of these solutions they had deployed and the stage of deployment. Companies were then classified into four stages of increasing readiness: Beginner, Formative, Progressive and Mature.FindingsAlongside the stark finding that only 9% of Canadian organizations are at the Mature stage, 57% of organizations fall into the Beginner (9%) or Formative (48%) stages – meaning that their cybersecurity readiness is below average. Only 15% of companies globally are at a Mature stage.This readiness gap is telling, not least because 77% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next 12 to 24 months. The cost of being unprepared can be substantial, as 51% of respondents said they had a cybersecurity incident in the last 12 months and 34% of those affected said it cost them at least US $500,000.“The move to a hybrid world has fundamentally changed the landscape for companies and created even greater cybersecurity complexity. Organizations must stop approaching defence with a mix of point tools and instead, consider integrated platforms to achieve security resilience while reducing complexity,” said Jeetu Patel, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Security and Collaboration at Cisco. “Only then will businesses be able to close the cybersecurity readiness gap.”Business leaders must establish a baseline of ‘readiness’ across the five security pillars to build secure and resilient organizations. This need is especially critical given that 78% of the respondents plan to increase their security budgets by at least 10% over the next 12 months. By establishing a base, organizations can build on their strengths and prioritize the areas where they need more maturity and improve their resilience.“Canadian organizations are falling behind their global peers on cybersecurity readiness, leaving them vulnerable to threats that continue to grow and evolve,” said Robert Barton, Chief Technology Officer, Cisco Canada. “The gap is only going to widen if Canadian businesses don’t act quickly. Organizations need to take significant and meaningful steps to increase their cybersecurity readiness and improve their resilience against the emerging threat landscape.”Readiness across the five key pillarsAdditional Resources:About Cisco Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) is the worldwide leader in technology that powers the Internet.

Human activity in the industrial age, and particularly during the last century, is significantly altering our planet's climate through the release of harmful [GHGs]." + + +GHGs "are gases that trap heat in the atmosphere, causing global warming and climate change. The main [GHGs] released by human activity are carbon dioxide [CO2], methane, and nitrous oxide, as well as fluorinated gases used for cooling and refrigeration. To prevent catastrophic climate change, the world's governments must work together to significantly reduce [GHG] emissions and keep global warming below the dangerous threshold of 1.5°C." + + +Global warming "is an increase in the Earth's average surface temperature that occurs when the concentration of [GHGs] in the atmosphere increases. These gases absorb more solar radiation and trap more heat, thus causing the planet to get hotter. Burning fossil fuels, cutting down forests, and farming livestock are some human activities that release [GHGs] and contribute to global warming." + + +Climate change "refers to the long-term changes in the Earth's climate, beyond the increase in average surface temperature. Climate change causes weather patterns to be less predictable, affecting the balance of ecosystems that support life and biodiversity. It also causes more extreme weather events, such as more intense hurricanes, floods, heat waves, and droughts, and leads to sea level rise and coastal erosion by accelerating the melting of glaciers." + + + +The history of climate change + + + According to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), most of the climate changes we have seen throughout history were "attributed to very small variations in Earth's orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives."

Warmer temperatures over time are changing weather patterns and disrupting the usual balance of nature."

These GHGs trap heat in Earth's atmosphere. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA),"When sunlight strikes the earth's surface, some of it radiates back toward space as infrared radiation (heat)." The EIA goes on to explain that GHGs absorb infrared radiation and trap its heat in the atmosphere, creating a GHG effect that results in global warming and climate change. + + + The UN is a great resource on this issue, and, according to its Climate Action website, burning fossil fuels, like coal, natural gas, and oil, for generating power, manufacturing goods, and fueling transportation accounts for over 75 percent of global GHG emissions and nearly 90 percent of all CO2 emissions. Some other activities that create emissions include: deforestation or wildfires (because trees absorb carbon from the atmosphere and release it when they are destroyed) and food production (producing food causes emissions of CO2, methane, and other GHGs in various ways). + + + As society continues to release GHGs into the atmosphere, the Earth's temperature can continue to rise.

Rising temperatures from climate change leads to ice and snow melting faster, oceans rising and warming, and more extreme weather like heat waves, flooding, fires, hurricanes, and tornadoes. Climate change increases the risk of food shortages from less productive fisheries, crops, and livestock. There are also increased health risks through air pollution and disease. Climate change also increases the factors that put and keep people in poverty, with an estimated 23.1 million people displaced on average each year by weather-related events over the past decade (2010-2019). + + + These rapid changes are detrimental to human life, and negatively impact biological diversity - or biodiversity (the variety of life on Earth, in all its forms, from genes and bacteria to entire ecosystems such as forests or coral reefs). + + + According to the UN, "exacerbated by climate change, the world is losing species at a rate 1,000 times greater than at any other time in recorded human history," with one million species at risk of extinction within the next few decades.

Room demand, however, was the second highest for any February on record and has been at or above prior monthly peaks for the past six months, with records set in September and December. Looking ahead, modest performance is expected as easy comps give way to tougher ones, but growth is expected for the foreseeable future.In February, the Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index surpassed both the S&P 500 (-2.6%) and the MSCI US REIT Index (-4.9%).The Hotel Brand sub-index decreased 1.2% from January to 10,219, while the Hotel REIT sub-index dropped 7.0% to 1,130.About the Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index and Sub-IndicesThe Baird/STR Hotel Stock Index was set to equal 1,000 on 1 January 2000.

The lead locomotive had three crew members on board.The derailment came a little over a month after a Norfolk Southern freight train derailed in East Palestine, Ohio, causing cars carrying toxic vinyl chloride and other hazardous chemicals to spill and catch fire. That derailment prompted the evacuation of thousands of people and raised health concerns to residents of the area, near the state's border with Pennsylvania. It also led to calls for steps to prevent future derailments.In Wednesday's incident, the locomotive caught fire, but all three crew members were being treated for non-life threatening injuries, CSX said."An unknown quantity of diesel fuel and oil spilled from the derailed locomotives and environmental measures will be deployed in the New River for containment," the company added. It said there were no hazardous materials being transported by this train and the incident posed no danger to the public. The company added it was in touch with local authorities to work on recovery efforts.The Federal Rail Administration said it was monitoring the derailment and added that the fire was extinguished. It also said the derailment occurred on an Amtrak route and may lead to residual service delays.

The enhancements will further assist companies in locating properties that meet a wide range of development criteria, including sustainability factors.The CSX Select Site program, launched in 2012 in partnership with Austin Consulting, a global leader in site development and identification, was the first railroad-sponsored certification program to offer rigorous site due diligence and capture the essential factors needed to accommodate rail access. Since the program’s inception, Select Sites have attracted dozens of manufacturers, with capital investments projected to reach $14 billion and create nearly 11,000 jobs.“The CSX Select Site program has been a tremendous success and is increasingly in demand by companies seeking to access the advantages of rail for improving supply chain efficiency while reducing their carbon footprint and meeting sustainability goals,” said Kevin Boone, CSX executive vice president of Sales and Marketing.To further assist companies and communities amid increasing competition for rail-served sites, the Select Site program is introducing four levels of qualification — Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. The four levels will help companies identify sites that best align with their needs. All sites will be included in a searchable inventory, called Zoom Prospector, currently under development. Users will be able to access the inventory at csx.com/selectsite.Thirteen Select Sites previously identified by Austin Consulting that remain on the market are the first sites designated as Platinum, given their size and the rigorous vetting already accomplished. In addition to meeting minimum site thresholds, Select Site Platinum candidates and designees must engage in a rigorous evaluation, while also completing standard due diligence studies. Platinum sites are 100-plus acres along CSX’s rail network that are ideal for large rail-served industrial facilities.“The greatest impact of the Select Site program has been creating a mechanism to assist communities in identifying their best industrial sites and to preserve them for capital-intensive, rail-served manufacturers,” said Jonathan Gemmen, senior director at Austin Consulting.Under the enhanced program, the Gold, Silver and Bronze sites will be identified using two new tools — Lasso and Site Shepherd — provided through a partnership with Global Location Strategies (GLS). CSX works with landowners and county economic development organizations to capture the relevant site data in Lasso, which is imported into GLS’ customized location analytic platform, Site Shepherd. Lasso is a proprietary data collection platform built to retrieve site-specific information from program registrants, including acreage, site characteristics, utility infrastructure and more. Site Shepherd houses an analytics model custom designed to evaluate CSX-served sites for key rail-served industry siting requirements. The platform provides data-driven analytics that empower CSX and its economic development partners to optimize the marketability of these rail-served sites and identify areas of improvement. Additionally, for the first time, CSX, supported by GLS, added considerations for environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, such as those concerning renewable energy, community impacts, and brownfield site reuse.Based on the properties’ Site Shepherd score, CSX designates top-performing sites as Gold, Silver or Bronze. All sites will receive valuable feedback regarding potential areas of improvement and are encouraged to engage with CSX on how to continually improve their score. “Factors ranging from sustainability to shortening supply chains by bringing manufacturing capability back to the U.S. are driving companies’ growing interest in the economic and sustainability advantages of rail,” said Christina Bottomley, CSX vice president of Real Estate and Industrial Development. “The Select Site program is another way CSX is partnering with companies to meet their business objectives.”Didi Caldwell, GLS President, added that the demand for investment-readiness programs is being driven by communities recognizing the need to have an “inventory of ready sites, primed and on hand for prospects” to compete with other communities for projects that foster economic development through building the tax base and creating jobs.“At Global Location Strategies, we are witnessing an unprecedented client demand for speed-to-market,” she said. “Employing site selection technology streamlines data collection and empowers CSX to self-perform the evaluation; running sites through a custom analytics model and providing a clear roadmap for future investment.”About CSX CSX, based in Jacksonville, Florida, is a premier transportation company.

(NYSE: LICY) ('Li-Cycle' or the 'Company'), an industry leader in lithium-ion battery resource recovery and the leading lithium-ion battery recycler in North America, today announced that Susan Alban, Chief People Officer and Operating Partner at Renegade Partners, a venture capital firm based in Menlo Park, California, has been nominated for election to the Company's Board of Directors at the Company's annual meeting to be held on April 27, 2023.'We believe that Susan will be a great addition to Li-Cycle's Board,' said Tim Johnston, Li-Cycle's co-founder and Executive Chair. 'She brings deep expertise in human resources management at rapidly growing companies and we are excited to welcome her to the Company's Board. We believe that her experience and insights will help Li-Cycle as we continue to scale our Spoke & Hub network to serve our customers around the world.''I'm excited at the opportunity to join Li-Cycle's Board and I'm looking forward to working closely with the Company's management team and Board members,' said Ms. Alban. 'Through its innovative Spoke & Hub network, Li-Cycle supports the acceleration of the global clean energy transition and I'm excited to help drive that change.'Ms. Alban currently serves as the Chief People Officer and an Operating Partner at Renegade Partners, where she supports the firm's portfolio companies across all areas of Human Resources. Ms. Alban brings deep expertise in operations and product, especially around launches. Previously, Ms. Alban was the VP of People at Zume, a General Manager at Uber, as well as a group product manager at eBay, working in partnership with PayPal to drive improvements across eBay's e-commerce funnel. Ms. Alban started her career at McKinsey & Company, where she was a management consultant for healthcare and consumer products businesses, with a focus on M&A and growth. After McKinsey, she joined CHB Capital Partners, a middle market private equity firm, where she invested and worked closely with CHB's portfolio companies. Ms. Alban has a degree in Economics from Duke University and an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business.Ms. Alban was nominated by Peridot Acquisition Sponsor, LLC as one of its two nominees for election to the Board and is expected to be designated as an independent director. In addition to bringing skills and expertise in human resources and executive compensation matters, Ms. Alban's addition to the Board is expected to enhance the balance of both independence and gender-diversity on the Board.'On behalf of the Board and management team, we would like to take this opportunity to thank our outgoing directors, Mr. Rick Findlay and Mr. Alan Levande, for their service to Li-Cycle,' said Mr. Ajay Kochhar, Li-Cycle's co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. 'Rick has helped guide the Company since its early days in 2017. Alan's involvement started with his work at Peridot which was instrumental in Li-Cycle becoming a public company in August 2021. We're grateful for their contributions and dedication to the Company.'Li-Cycle believes that a Board size of nine members continues to be the optimal Board size for the Company for fiscal 2023. The Company is in the process of recruiting an additional independent director with audit committee financial expertise from a pool of candidates, all of whom are female. That appointment, which is expected later in 2023, is expected to enhance the Board's experience in relation to finance matters, increase the level of independence on the Board and allow the Company to achieve its 30% target for gender-diversity on the Board.About Li-Cycle Holdings Corp.Li-Cycle (NYSE: LICY) is on a mission to leverage its innovative Spoke & Hub Technologies to provide a customer-centric, end-of-life solution for lithium-ion batteries, while creating a secondary supply of critical battery materials.

"The days of free delivery are numbered," Ken Morris, managing partner at Cambridge Retail Advisors, said of the fast-changing retail marketing tool.Retailers are beginning to look more like some airlines, which charge for better seating, transporting luggage and also restrict use of frequent flyer points, Morris said. It is an open secret that most retailers raise product prices to subsidize free shipping. Still, product inflation and soaring shipping costs are making the service unsustainable as the prospect of recession threatens to wallop already-flagging online spending. Amazon marketed free shipping as a differentiator and used pricey Prime subscriptions and fat profits from other businesses to underwrite its package delivery costs - forcing other retailers to follow, even if they lacked Amazon's advantages. With retail margins shrinking and shipping rates for United Parcel Service Inc, FedEx Corp and the U.S. Postal Service hitting record levels, the industry where nearly three-quarters of e-commerce companies offer some sort of free shipping is rethinking the financial cost of habituating shoppers to free shipping. Retailers' top priority is lowering shipping costs, with speed a close second, said Lee Spratt, CEO of DHL eCommerce Solutions America, which provides logistics services.Retailers from Amazon to dog treat seller Einstein Pets and ubiquitous apparel chains like Zara, Abercrombie & Fitch and Foot Locker are drawing the line at losing money on a service consumers have come to expect. That is translating into shipping cost reduction goals of up to 25%, said Mingshu Bates, chief analytics officer at consultancy AFS Logistics.  After forcing both free and fast shipping on the e-commerce industry it dominates, Amazon's latest moves are instructive. The online retailer, which recently hiked the annual Prime subscription price by $20 to $139, is now offering "free" same-day shipping for Prime members in at least a dozen U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia. There are strings attached, however, as the service is free only on orders of at least $25, and costs $2.99 when orders fall below that.At the start of March, Amazon also raised the minimum threshold for free Prime shipping from its struggling online grocery business to $150 from $35 and added charges of $3.95 to $9.95 for orders below the new limit. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy in February said the company is streamlining costs across the business and that shipping speed would not be a casualty of its efficiency push. A spokesperson on Thursday added that Prime delivery speeds got faster from 2021 to 2022 and are improving further this year.'WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR?'Meanwhile, some consultants and customers are noticing service changes."Getting things to people same-day or within a certain number of hours doesn't seem to be first and foremost anymore" at Amazon, e-commerce consultant Chris McCabe said. Dozens of Prime subscribers, including upstate New York middle-school teacher Bryan Fabiano, have taken to social media to question the value of their Prime subscriptions due to late package deliveries, particularly during the holidays. "My wife and I are Prime customers because of the shipping (benefits). If they're not going to deliver on that, then what are we paying for?" Fabiano, 48, told Reuters. Indeed, shoppers who do not subscribe to Prime get free standard shipping on Amazon orders over $25. Walmart Inc and Target Corp, which have delivery subscriptions of about $100 per year, offer free shipping on orders above $35 for non-members. Nearly three-quarters of the top 1,000 U.S. retailers offered free shipping on at least some orders, with 45% requiring a minimum purchase for that perk, according to August 2022 survey results from industry research firm Digital Commerce 360.While retailers like Amazon and fashion purveyor Asos Plc have raised thresholds for fast shipping, others are dropping free shipping altogether or taking product prices up again.   Einstein Pets in Atlanta was caught "between a rock and a hard place" according to owner Kelly Ison. She moved to protect profit by ending free shipping in mid-2022 on purchases of Einstein's specialty dog treats, including flavors like PB'N Jelly Time and Pumpkin Time.    "We can't compete with Amazon," she told Reuters. Ison switched to flat-rate shipping of $8 to help defray fast-rising delivery costs and avoid price increases that would hurt her competitiveness. She lost some customers, but remains profitable.  Toronto-based United Filter Co raised prices on its furnace filters so it could keep offering free shipping for sales through Amazon, Walmart and Ebay and it has never offered across-the-board free returns because they are too "cost-prohibitive," owner Darrin Landau told Reuters. The company split the difference, he said. "People are just addicted to free shipping."

Unfortunately, one favorite osprey nesting spot-the top of utility poles-poses a danger to birds while raising the risk of disruptions to electric service.Now in its eighth year, BGE's Osprey Watch program protects the raptors and further ensures electric reliability through crowd-sourcing the location of nests built on electric equipment. Osprey nests built at the top of a utility pole can cause fires if birds or materials touch the wrong piece of equipment. Programs like Osprey Watch can help stop these fire-related outages and save wildlife.In 2022, 12 osprey nests on BGE equipment were reported. Estimates from the Center for Conservation Biology place the Bay's current osprey population at 8,000 to 10,000 breeding pairs, with the world population estimated at nearly 100,000 birds. Additionally, BGE rescued both an injured Little Brown Bat and injured American Coot and placed them in the care of Phoenix (Md.) Wildlife Rehab, where they were successfully rehabilitated and released. Recently, BGE helped to install a utility pole with a nest box at the top to house barn owls spotted at Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills.Customers have reported more than 100 osprey nests since the program's inception in 2016. Once a nest is reported, trained BGE personnel take measures that keep the birds and their young safe and curtail the potential for ospreys and their nests to cause electric outages.Here's how the program works: anyone who sees an osprey nest on BGE equipment may report it by emailing the following information to ospreywatch@bge.com:- The pole number, located on a placard at eye height on the pole (**Only if the pole is easily accessible**)- The nearest address to the pole, and photos of the pole taken from different perspectives (**If the pole is not easily accessible**)- Alternatively, osprey nest location information may be shared over the phone with BGE's customer service team at 1-800-685-0123.When BGE receives a report of a nest, crews follow all federal and local wildlife regulations while assessing whether the nest is inhabited. The nest is removed if no birds or eggs are present and a deterrent is placed on the top of the pole to dissuade the birds from building another nest; in some cases, BGE installs a new, safe platform specifically for the ospreys to build their nests nearby. If the nest is inhabited, crews install rubber insulation on wires and other equipment to shield the birds and protect the equipment.More information about BGE's other environmental work is available at bge.com.###About BGEBGE is Maryland's largest natural gas and electric utility, providing safe and reliable energy delivery to more than 1.3 million electric customers and 700,000 natural gas customers in central Maryland.

New updates to FortiSASE enhance our ability to extend FortiGuard Security Services across the SD-WAN edge and cloud edge. Our commitment to continuously improving what is already one of the leading single-vendor SASE solutions on the market is why we’re seeing huge customer adoption and trust in Fortinet to support their SASE journey.”News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today announced several enhancements to FortiSASE, Fortinet’s single-vendor SASE solution, to enable additional deployment flexibility and new secure access capabilities for digital resources across private applications, SaaS, and the internet. Single-Vendor SASE Secures Today’s Hybrid WorkforceToday, the majority of organizations—55% of respondents to a recent Fortinet work-from-anywhere survey—support hybrid workforces, which means most CIOs are tasked with the challenge of securing users as they move from home to office and during travel. When using solutions that aren’t integrated across on-premises and in the cloud, consistent security for all users is near impossible. And the larger and more distributed the network, the more pervasive these issues can be. Providing consistent security to a global hybrid workforce working both on-premises and off requires a single-vendor SASE approach.What’s new?Furthering Fortinet’s commitment to delivering a comprehensive SASE solution that extends the convergence of networking and security from the edge to remote users, Fortinet is announcing enhancements to FortiSASE, including:FortiGate Secure Edge Integration Enhancements: With the existing FortiGate Secure Edge integration, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN customers benefit from the flexibility to perform security on-premises (via FortiGate) or in the cloud (via FortiSASE). New enhancements to this FortiGate Secure Edge integration give teams even more granular control and flexibility to choose when to perform security on-premises or in the cloud to optimize user experience. This enhancement will particularly benefit organizations with a hybrid workforce and better ensure consistent security no matter where users are located.Secure Access Enhancements: Further enhancements have been made to all three key FortiSASE use cases to secure access for users to and from the internet, privately hosted applications, and SaaS applications.FortiSASE Enables Enterprise-Grade Security, EverywhereDesigned to provide consistent security for users anywhere, FortiSASE converges cloud-delivered security—including secure web gateway (SWG), universal zero-trust network access (ZTNA), next-generation dual-mode CASB, and Firewall-as-a-Service (FWaaS)—and networking (Secure SD-WAN).

Today, ENOC is committed to economic diversification and sustainable development. The group now comprises more than 30 related subsidiaries spanning refining, lubricant blending, storage, aviation, and retail. To serve its many thousands of customers across 60 global markets, the organization employs over 9,000 staff in more than 400 separate locations.Supporting the ongoing business operations of an organization of this scale requires fast, secure, and reliable companywide access to an increasing number of diverse IT applications and services running both in-house and in the cloud. Until 2021, this access had been provided for ENOC via a managed networking service based on MPLS, configured in a typical hub and spoke architecture in which the entirety of each branch’s external traffic passed through a single link to the central data center.In 2021, ENOC committed to an AED (United Arab Emirates Dirham) 250 million investment plan for a digital transformation strategy focused on placing the customer at the center of the business and enhancing their overall service experience. As more of the group’s critical applications and services moved to the cloud, the unnecessary backhauling of this traffic through the data center was impacting user response times, decreasing efficiency, and ultimately limiting the level of service provided to ENOC’s customers. In addition, without back-up connectivity to the branches, occasional but inevitable link failures were leading to unacceptable downtime windows, degrading customer service, and consuming valuable time and resources of the IT department.Security was clearly a major concern. To keep pace with the evolving threat of cybercrime, additional protection measures such as data encryption were needed to be layered on top of the existing infrastructure, adding expense, and further reducing performance.Mohammed Al Rais, CIO, Emirates National Oil Company said, “We needed a faster, more resilient infrastructure with deeply embedded advanced security. We also needed to do this within budget and without increasing management complexity. There were several product combinations that might have met most of the technical feature requirements on our list, but only Fortinet had the deep integration to create a single, secure, and manageable SD-WAN infrastructure.”After evaluating a shortlist of potential suppliers, ENOC chose the Fortinet Secure SD-WAN solution based on the FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), to preserve the privacy of ENOC’s private MPLS network, while enabling faster, lower-cost internet, and direct cloud access at each of the 400+ remote sites. For ease of management, FortiManager was deployed to provide single-pane-of-glass visibility and control over the entire infrastructure. With this, ENOC benefits from less complexity and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). FortiAnalyzer was added for its action-oriented analytics, and its drill-down reporting around web traffic, applications, users, and threats to ease the burden of regulatory compliance.“By reducing dependency on MPLS, we have substantially reduced the associated service fees,” added Al Rais. “When you combine this with the reduced management overhead achieved by convergence, it equates to an approximate 55% cost savings over the previous solution. Before, customers sometimes had to wait about 60 seconds for ENOC Pay transactions to be processed. With the new scenario, it is now less than 10 seconds—something that would have been impossible with the old network.”Overall, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN has enabled ENOC to better protect its reputation and assets through strengthened security controls, laying the foundation for continued revenue growth through increased operational efficiency and enhanced customer service levels. With increased network reliability, lower latency, and speed and performance having increased by a factor of four, ENOC has already been able to transform the customer service experience at its vast network of filling stations.“Fortinet is relentlessly committed to innovation, through which we design solutions to address challenges that companies face in today’s expanding networks,” said John Maddison, EVP of Products and CMO at Fortinet. “We are pleased that ENOC is achieving its ROI and business acceleration goals. This is a demonstration that Fortinet meets the needs of organizations looking to enable digital transformation. This is possible only because Fortinet has converged critical security and network functions into a single and expansive platform.”About FortinetFortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) is a driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence of networking and security.

In today’s climate, organizations must choose products that introduce automation to offload overworked teams while continuing to focus on upskilling and cybersecurity training.”News Summary Fortinet® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today released its 2023 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report, which reveals ongoing challenges related to the cybersecurity skills shortage affecting organizations worldwide. Key findings from the global report include:The Costly Reality of the Increasing Cybersecurity Skills Gap An estimated 3.14 million professionals are needed to fill the global cybersecurity workforce gap. At the same time, the 2023 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report found that the number of organizations experiencing five or more breaches jumped by 53% from 2021 to 2022. One repercussion of this is that many short-staffed cybersecurity teams are burdened and strained as they try to keep up with thousands of daily threat alerts and attempt to manage disparate solutions to properly protect their organization’s devices and data.Additionally, as a result of unfilled IT positions due to the cyber skills shortage, the report also found that 68% of organizations indicate they face additional cyber risks. Other findings highlighting increased cyber risks that could be partially attributed to the talent shortage include:Upskilling Security Professionals and Developing More Talent with Training The report also suggested that employers recognize how training and certifications can benefit their organization in addressing the skills gap, while also serving as an advantage for anyone looking to advance in their current security profession, as well as for individuals considering transitioning into the field. Below are additional highlights from the report around training:Increasing Opportunities for Women, Veterans and Other Populations Can Help Solve the Skills GapWhile the report demonstrated that organizations are seeking ways to tap into new talent pools to fill cybersecurity roles, with 8 out of 10 organizations having diversity goals as part of their hiring practices, roughly 40% of organizations indicate they have difficulty finding qualified candidates who are women, military veterans, or from minority backgrounds.Fortinet’s Commitment to Closing the Skills Gap To help alleviate the challenges resulting from the skills shortage, Fortinet is committed to helping organizations improve the management of cyber risks with ML-driven automation and services, as well as increased access to cyber training. As part of these efforts, Fortinet has pledged to train 1 million people in cybersecurity by 2026 to help increase access for security professionals and untapped talent pools looking to upskill and reskill.About the Fortinet Skills Gap Survey:Additional Resources About FortinetFortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) is a driving force in the evolution of cybersecurity and the convergence of networking and security.

The supply continues to grow and this prosperous sector is not immune to cyclicality and overcapacity. However, the manufacturing process of electronic chips, which include semiconductors, involves many steps. It takes years of experience and research in the industry to develop, design, produce, market and service a single line of microchips. The process of building a semiconductor plant is also extremely expensive in terms of capital, time and complexity.  +As you can see, one of the main problems of this market is the big complexity of the production chain. Not all groups have foundries (semiconductor manufacturing plants) because of the huge capital costs involved. Axcelis has this advantage. The company benefits from its ATC (Advanced Technology Center) and AOC (Asia Operations Center). The ATC is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advanced chip manufacturing and equipment demonstration while the AOC is a state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility to meet the growing market demand by serving their growing footprint throughout Asia and their Korean customer base. + + +Source: MarketScreener - Chart + +An ultra-competitive market:The constant demand for ever more advanced and high-performance electronic products forces companies to be constantly innovative to stay ahead of the competition. In addition, high R&D costs are a significant barrier for new companies wishing to enter the market, increasing competition between established players. The short life cycle of electronic products means that companies must be able to release new products quickly to satisfy consumer demand and remain competitive. Finally, sensitivity to economic cycles can cause significant fluctuations in demand for electronics products, requiring the ability to adapt quickly to stay ahead of the competition. +With an order book (Samsung, Intel, TSMC, Micron, SK Hynix, GlobalFoundries) that is overflowing and a competitive advantage in equipment design, what could stand in the way of Axcelis? The first risk that comes to mind is pressure from the United States to prevent Beijing from gaining access to advanced technologies. China is already embargoed on certain equipment, but Washington is pushing to extend the restrictions to other machines. At this stage, Axcelis has not been penalized too much, but it is a point of vigilance. Other threats include the risk associated with the highly technical nature of the equipment produced, which forces the company to maintain a constant level of excellence with very demanding customers. +Valuation:This explains the attraction of Axcelis to investors. In ten years, the stock has gained more than 2700%. Revenues have risen from $193 billion in 2013 to $920 billion in 2022, an average annual increase of almost 17%. At the same time, the operating margin increased from -6.88% to 23%. The company's net income is quite considerable with an increase of more than 975% between 2019 and 2022 from $17 million to $183 million. Meanwhile, Axcelis is paying between 15 and 20 times earnings which makes it a rather attractive price, unlike its competitor ASML which is paying 30 times earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the group's revenue rose 16% quarter-over-quarter to $266 billion, beating analysts' estimates. The company's earnings per share came in at $5.46 in 2022 compared to $0.48 in 2015. + + +Source: MarketScreener - Income Statement + +Axcelis simply reflects the growing importance of this sector in our daily lives. As for semiconductors, the industry has seen its sales explode by more than 20% to about $600 billion by 2021. McKinsey's analysis suggests that the industry's overall annual growth could average 6-8% per year through 2030, making it a $1 trillion industry by the end of the decade. This assumes an average price increase of about 2% per year and a return to balanced supply and demand after the current volatility. With excellent momentum and visibility, despite a very competitive market, the company remains a very good option to watch closely. + + + + +Source: MarketScreener - Ratings + + +  diff --git a/news/GILD/2023.03.17/AHF Protests Gilead Greed in Amsterdam.txt b/news/GILD/2023.03.17/AHF Protests Gilead Greed in Amsterdam.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1ff846a9bb2c5eb84624c928a7f3b30cb3bf4099 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/GILD/2023.03.17/AHF Protests Gilead Greed in Amsterdam.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +On March 14, 30 people, including AHF Europe team and local partners gathered to demand that Gilead Sciences stop its greedy tactics of overpricing lifesaving drugs and refusing to register some medications in lower-income countries, and consistently blocking attempts to introduce cheaper, generic versions of its medicines.Specifically, the advocates presented the following demands to Gilead: Stop evergreening patents on existing HIV/AIDS drugs.Open the license for the generic production of the hepatitis C drug Harvoni to all low- and middle-income countries, without exception.For the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, sell or license remdesivir for generic distribution at a non-profit price.License technology to produce treatment for cryptococcal meningitis to generic manufacturers.Link executive compensation to the impact on positive public health outcomes and access to medicines in developing countries.The team protested in front of the Gilead office in Amsterdam, which is located in business district of the city.

ZUMA-7 was conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) whereby the trial design, clinical endpoints and statistical analysis were agreed upon in advance with the Agency. This pre-specified analysis was also agreed by other health authorities. + +ZUMA-7 is considered a landmark trial as the first and largest Phase 3 study of any CAR T-cell therapy, with the longest follow-up, which has demonstrated event-free survival (EFS), the primary endpoint, that is superior to historical SOC treatment. Data from the ZUMA-7 pivotal trial led to the U.S. approval for initial treatment of R/R LBCL in April 2022 and European Union approval in October 2022, followed by approvals in a number of other countries such as: Great Britain, Israel, Japan, and Switzerland. + +About ZUMA-7 Study + +ZUMA-7 is a randomized, open-label, global, multicenter, Phase 3 study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Yescarta versus SOC for initial treatment of adult patients with R/R LBCL within 12 months of first-line therapy. In the study, 359 patients in 77 centers around the world were randomized (1:1) to receive a single infusion of Yescarta or historical SOC second-line treatment. The primary endpoint is EFS as determined by blinded central review and defined as the time from randomization to the earliest date of disease progression per Lugano Classification, commencement of new lymphoma therapy, or death from any cause. Key secondary endpoints include objective response rate (ORR) and OS. Additional secondary endpoints include patient reported outcomes (PROs) and safety. Per hierarchical testing of primary and key secondary endpoints and group sequential testing of OS, an interim analysis of OS occurred at the time of the primary EFS analysis. The prespecified primary OS analysis was to be conducted after 210 deaths or no later than five years after the first patient was randomized. + +Yescarta demonstrated a 2.5-fold increase in patients who were alive at two years and did not experience cancer progression or require the need for additional cancer treatment (40.5% vs. 16.3%) and a four-fold greater median EFS (8.3 mo. vs. 2.0 mo.) compared to SOC (hazard ratio 0.398; 95% CI: 0.308-0.514, P<0.0001). In addition to being the largest and longest study of its kind, ZUMA-7 study participants on the Yescarta arm did not receive additional bridging chemotherapy that could have potentially confounded results. + +Nearly three times as many patients randomized to Yescarta ultimately received the definitive CAR T-cell therapy treatment (94%) versus those randomized to SOC (35%) who received on-protocol HDT+ASCT. More patients responded to Yescarta (ORR: 83% vs. 50%, odds ratio: 5.31 [95% CI: 3.1-8.9; P<0.0001) and achieved a complete response (CR) with Yescarta (CR rate: 65% vs. 32%) than with SOC. At the time of the primary EFS analysis, more than half of patients in the SOC arm subsequently received Yescarta off study. + +In the study, Yescarta had a safety profile that was consistent with previous studies. Among the 168 Yescarta-treated patients evaluable for safety, Grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and neurologic events were observed in 7% and 25% of patients, respectively. In the SOC arm, 83% of patients had high grade events, mostly cytopenias (low blood counts). + +The Yescarta U.S. Prescribing Information has a BOXED WARNING for the risks of CRS and neurologic toxicities, and Yescarta is approved with a Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) due to these risks; see below for Important Safety Information. + +About LBCL + +Globally, LBCL is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). In the United States, more than 18,000 people are diagnosed with LBCL each year. About 30-40% of patients with LBCL will need second-line treatment, as their cancer will either relapse (return) or become refractory (not respond) to initial treatment. + +About Yescarta + +Please see full Prescribing Information, including BOXED WARNING and Medication Guide. + +YESCARTA is a CD19-directed genetically modified autologous T cell immunotherapy indicated for the treatment of: + +U.S. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION + +BOXED WARNING: CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME AND NEUROLOGIC TOXICITIES + +CYTOKINE RELEASE SYNDROME (CRS) + +CRS, including fatal or life-threatening reactions, occurred. CRS occurred in 90% (379/422) of patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), including ≥ Grade 3 in 9%. CRS occurred in 93% (256/276) of patients with large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL), including ≥ Grade 3 in 9%. Among patients with LBCL who died after receiving YESCARTA, 4 had ongoing CRS events at the time of death. For patients with LBCL in ZUMA-1, the median time to onset of CRS was 2 days following infusion (range: 1-12 days) and the median duration was 7 days (range: 2-58 days). For patients with LBCL in ZUMA-7, the median time to onset of CRS was 3 days following infusion (range: 1-10 days) and the median duration was 7 days (range: 2-43 days). CRS occurred in 84% (123/146) of patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) in ZUMA-5, including ≥ Grade 3 in 8%. Among patients with iNHL who died after receiving YESCARTA, 1 patient had an ongoing CRS event at the time of death. The median time to onset of CRS was 4 days (range: 1-20 days) and median duration was 6 days (range: 1-27 days) for patients with iNHL. + +Key manifestations of CRS (≥ 10%) in all patients combined included fever (85%), hypotension (40%), tachycardia (32%), chills (22%), hypoxia (20%), headache (15%), and fatigue (12%). Serious events that may be associated with CRS include cardiac arrhythmias (including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia), renal insufficiency, cardiac failure, respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, capillary leak syndrome, multi-organ failure, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis/macrophage activation syndrome. + +The impact of tocilizumab and/or corticosteroids on the incidence and severity of CRS was assessed in 2 subsequent cohorts of LBCL patients in ZUMA-1. Among patients who received tocilizumab and/or corticosteroids for ongoing Grade 1 events, CRS occurred in 93% (38/41), including 2% (1/41) with Grade 3 CRS; no patients experienced a Grade 4 or 5 event. The median time to onset of CRS was 2 days (range: 1-8 days) and the median duration of CRS was 7 days (range: 2-16 days). Prophylactic treatment with corticosteroids was administered to a cohort of 39 patients for 3 days beginning on the day of infusion of YESCARTA. Thirty-one of the 39 patients (79%) developed CRS and were managed with tocilizumab and/or therapeutic doses of corticosteroids with no patients developing ≥ Grade 3 CRS. The median time to onset of CRS was 5 days (range: 1-15 days) and the median duration of CRS was 4 days (range: 1-10 days). Although there is no known mechanistic explanation, consider the risk and benefits of prophylactic corticosteroids in the context of pre-existing comorbidities for the individual patient and the potential for the risk of Grade 4 and prolonged neurologic toxicities. + +Ensure that 2 doses of tocilizumab are available prior to YESCARTA infusion. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of CRS at least daily for 7 days at the certified healthcare facility, and for 4 weeks thereafter. Counsel patients to seek immediate medical attention should signs or symptoms of CRS occur at any time. At the first sign of CRS, institute treatment with supportive care, tocilizumab, or tocilizumab and corticosteroids as indicated. + +NEUROLOGIC TOXICITIES + +Neurologic toxicities (including immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome) that were fatal or life-threatening occurred. Neurologic toxicities occurred in 78% (330/422) of all patients with NHL receiving YESCARTA, including ≥ Grade 3 in 25%. Neurologic toxicities occurred in 87% (94/108) of patients with LBCL in ZUMA-1, including ≥ Grade 3 in 31% and in 74% (124/168) of patients in ZUMA-7 including ≥ Grade 3 in 25%. The median time to onset was 4 days (range: 1-43 days) and the median duration was 17 days for patients with LBCL in ZUMA-1. The median time to onset for neurologic toxicity was 5 days (range: 1- 133 days) and median duration was 15 days in patients with LBCL in ZUMA-7. Neurologic toxicities occurred in 77% (112/146) of patients with iNHL, including ≥ Grade 3 in 21%. The median time to onset was 6 days (range: 1-79 days) and the median duration was 16 days. Ninety-eight percent of all neurologic toxicities in patients with LBCL and 99% of all neurologic toxicities in patients with iNHL occurred within the first 8 weeks of YESCARTA infusion. Neurologic toxicities occurred within the first 7 days of infusion for 87% of affected patients with LBCL and 74% of affected patients with iNHL. + +The most common neurologic toxicities (≥ 10%) in all patients combined included encephalopathy (50%), headache (43%), tremor (29%), dizziness (21%), aphasia (17%), delirium (15%), and insomnia (10%). Prolonged encephalopathy lasting up to 173 days was noted. Serious events, including aphasia, leukoencephalopathy, dysarthria, lethargy, and seizures occurred. Fatal and serious cases of cerebral edema and encephalopathy, including late-onset encephalopathy, have occurred. + +The impact of tocilizumab and/or corticosteroids on the incidence and severity of neurologic toxicities was assessed in 2 subsequent cohorts of LBCL patients in ZUMA-1. Among patients who received corticosteroids at the onset of Grade 1 toxicities, neurologic toxicities occurred in 78% (32/41) and 20% (8/41) had Grade 3 neurologic toxicities; no patients experienced a Grade 4 or 5 event. The median time to onset of neurologic toxicities was 6 days (range: 1-93 days) with a median duration of 8 days (range: 1-144 days). Prophylactic treatment with corticosteroids was administered to a cohort of 39 patients for 3 days beginning on the day of infusion of YESCARTA. Of those patients, 85% (33/39) developed neurologic toxicities, 8% (3/39) developed Grade 3, and 5% (2/39) developed Grade 4 neurologic toxicities. The median time to onset of neurologic toxicities was 6 days (range: 1-274 days) with a median duration of 12 days (range: 1-107 days). Prophylactic corticosteroids for management of CRS and neurologic toxicities may result in higher grade of neurologic toxicities or prolongation of neurologic toxicities, delay the onset and decrease the duration of CRS. + +Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of neurologic toxicities at least daily for 7 days at the certified healthcare facility, and for 4 weeks thereafter, and treat promptly. + +REMS + +Because of the risk of CRS and neurologic toxicities, YESCARTA is available only through a restricted program called the YESCARTA and TECARTUS REMS Program which requires that: Healthcare facilities that dispense and administer YESCARTA must be enrolled and comply with the REMS requirements and must have on-site, immediate access to a minimum of 2 doses of tocilizumab for each patient for infusion within 2 hours after YESCARTA infusion, if needed for treatment of CRS. Certified healthcare facilities must ensure that healthcare providers who prescribe, dispense, or administer YESCARTA are trained about the management of CRS and neurologic toxicities. Further information is available at www.YescartaTecartusREMS.com or 1-844-454-KITE (5483). + +HYPERSENSITIVITY REACTIONS + +Allergic reactions, including serious hypersensitivity reactions or anaphylaxis, may occur with the infusion of YESCARTA. + +SERIOUS INFECTIONS + +Severe or life-threatening infections occurred. Infections (all grades) occurred in 45% of patients with NHL. ≥ Grade 3 infections occurred in 17% of patients, including ≥ Grade 3 infections with an unspecified pathogen in 12%, bacterial infections in 5%, viral infections in 3%, and fungal infections in 1%. YESCARTA should not be administered to patients with clinically significant active systemic infections. Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infection before and after infusion and treat appropriately. Administer prophylactic antimicrobials according to local guidelines. + +Febrile neutropenia was observed in 36% of all patients with NHL and may be concurrent with CRS. In the event of febrile neutropenia, evaluate for infection and manage with broad-spectrum antibiotics, fluids, and other supportive care as medically indicated. + +In immunosuppressed patients, including those who have received YESCARTA, life-threatening and fatal opportunistic infections including disseminated fungal infections (e.g., candida sepsis and aspergillus infections) and viral reactivation (e.g., human herpes virus-6 [HHV-6] encephalitis and JC virus progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy [PML]) have been reported. The possibility of HHV-6 encephalitis and PML should be considered in immunosuppressed patients with neurologic events and appropriate diagnostic evaluations should be performed. + +Hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation, in some cases resulting in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death, can occur in patients treated with drugs directed against B cells, including YESCARTA. Perform screening for HBV, HCV, and HIV in accordance with clinical guidelines before collection of cells for manufacturing. + +PROLONGED CYTOPENIAS + +Patients may exhibit cytopenias for several weeks following lymphodepleting chemotherapy and YESCARTA infusion. ≥ Grade 3 cytopenias not resolved by Day 30 following YESCARTA infusion occurred in 39% of all patients with NHL and included neutropenia (33%), thrombocytopenia (13%), and anemia (8%). Monitor blood counts after infusion. + +HYPOGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA + +B-cell aplasia and hypogammaglobulinemia can occur. Hypogammaglobulinemia was reported as an adverse reaction in 14% of all patients with NHL. Monitor immunoglobulin levels after treatment and manage using infection precautions, antibiotic prophylaxis, and immunoglobulin replacement. The safety of immunization with live viral vaccines during or following YESCARTA treatment has not been studied. Vaccination with live virus vaccines is not recommended for at least 6 weeks prior to the start of lymphodepleting chemotherapy, during YESCARTA treatment, and until immune recovery following treatment. + +SECONDARY MALIGNANCIES + +Secondary malignancies may develop. Monitor life-long for secondary malignancies. In the event that one occurs, contact Kite at 1-844-454-KITE (5483) to obtain instructions on patient samples to collect for testing. + +EFFECTS ON ABILITY TO DRIVE AND USE MACHINES + +Due to the potential for neurologic events, including altered mental status or seizures, patients are at risk for altered or decreased consciousness or coordination in the 8 weeks following YESCARTA infusion. Advise patients to refrain from driving and engaging in hazardous occupations or activities, such as operating heavy or potentially dangerous machinery, during this initial period. + +ADVERSE REACTIONS + +The most common non-laboratory adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 20%) in patients with LBCL in ZUMA-7 included fever, CRS, fatigue, hypotension, encephalopathy, tachycardia, diarrhea, headache, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, febrile neutropenia, chills, cough, infection with unspecified pathogen, dizziness, tremor, decreased appetite, edema, hypoxia, abdominal pain, aphasia, constipation, and vomiting. + +The most common adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 20%) in patients with LBCL in ZUMA-1 included CRS, fever, hypotension, encephalopathy, tachycardia, fatigue, headache, decreased appetite, chills, diarrhea, febrile neutropenia, infections with pathogen unspecified, nausea, hypoxia, tremor, cough, vomiting, dizziness, constipation, and cardiac arrhythmias. + +The most common non-laboratory adverse reactions (incidence ≥ 20%) in patients with iNHL in ZUMA-5 included fever, CRS, hypotension, encephalopathy, fatigue, headache, infections with pathogen unspecified, tachycardia, febrile neutropenia, musculoskeletal pain, nausea, tremor, chills, diarrhea, constipation, decreased appetite, cough, vomiting, hypoxia, arrhythmia, and dizziness. + +About Kite + +Kite, a Gilead Company, is a global biopharmaceutical company based in Santa Monica, California, focused on cell therapy to treat and potentially cure cancer.

(Nasdaq: GILD) have mutually agreed to change their 2020 exclusive option agreements.Gilead has waived its exclusive option to acquire Pionyr and certain other rights under the 2020 agreements. Gilead will retain its 49% equity stake in Pionyr as well as its right, under certain conditions, to review new data as it emerges. Pionyr is now free to pursue fundraising and partnering opportunities as part of its ongoing strategy.'We've made significant progress with our Myeloid Tuning platform and our clinical stage pipeline, and we are in a strong position to reach multiple inflection points for all of our programs in the next 12 to 18 months,' noted Steven P. James, Chief Executive Officer of Pionyr. 'We have appreciated the collaboration with Gilead over the last two and a half years, and their support has put us in a strong position to continue our mission of dramatically improving the treatment of cancer.'Pionyr is continuing Phase 1b development of two monoclonal antibody drugs targeting TREM1 and TREM2 and is poised to file an IND this year for a third program targeting MARCO. TREM2, TREM1 and MARCO represent novel targets present on distinct populations of myeloid cells in the tumor microenvironment associated with suppression of the immune response to multiple tumor types. In Phase 1a and 1b studies, PY314 and PY159 have demonstrated encouraging safety and tolerability both alone and in combination with pembrolizumab warranting further clinical investigation. PY314, PY159 and PY265 are first-in-class assets that target these cellular populations to enhance anti-tumor immunity.In 2020, Gilead paid $275 million for its equity stake in Pionyr and agreed to fund Pionyr's clinical and research activities in exchange for an exclusive option to acquire Pionyr for a pre-set price and contingent payments. As part of this agreement, Gilead waives its exclusive option to acquire Pionyr. Pionyr will be responsible for ongoing development of its pipeline, which includes PY159, PY314 and PY265. The company has the resources to advance its pipeline for the next two years. Within that timeframe, Pionyr will continue enrollment in Phase 1b expansion cohorts for both PY159 and PY314 in the refractory setting and is planning to add new frontline cohorts for both candidates. Pionyr has also completed IND-enabling studies for PY265 and will be ready to file an IND for that program in 2023.About Myeloid TuningTMPionyr has developed a therapeutic platform called Myeloid TuningTM, a process that rebalances the tumor microenvironment (TME) to promote anti-tumor immunity. Myeloid cells are a type of immune cell and are part of a family of cell types that regulate both the activation and suppression of the immune response to cancer.One such critical type of myeloid cell, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), are a key component of the TME. TAMs are generally categorized into two functionally contrasting subtypes, called M1-like and M2-like macrophages. M1-like macrophages are inflammatory and have anti-tumor functions, including directly mediating antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) to kill tumor cells.Alternatively, M2-like macrophages are immune suppressive, and thereby inhibit T-cell-mediated anti-tumor responses, allowing for tumor angiogenesis, growth, and progression.Myeloid Tuning describes the process of introducing agents that shift the balance of inhibitory myeloid cells-including M2-like TAMs-toward a more inflammatory, M1-like phenotype, to promote anti-tumor immune responses in the TME that destroy solid tumors.About Pionyr ImmunotherapeuticsPionyr is exploiting novel target discovery and antibody generation platform technologies to create the next generation of immuno-oncology therapeutics after checkpoint inhibitors. The company's initial approach, termed 'Myeloid TuningTM,' is designed to enhance the immune system's anti-tumor response by specifically altering the cellular infiltrate of the tumor microenvironment. Pionyr's two lead programs in Phase 1 development, PY314 and PY159 targeting TREM2 and TREM1 respectively, are designed to selectively deplete and in some cases reprogram certain tumor-associated macrophages responsible for immunosuppression. Pionyr's investors include Gilead, New Enterprise Associates, OrbiMed, SV Health Investors, Sofinnova Investments, Vida Ventures, Osage University Partners, Mission Bay Capital, and Trinitas Ventures.Contact:Carolyn HawleyEmail: carolyn.hawley@evokegroup.com(C) 2023 Electronic News Publishing, source ENP Newswire \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/GOOG/2023.03.07/Google to launch fund to support Taiwan's media outlets.txt b/news/GOOG/2023.03.07/Google to launch fund to support Taiwan's media outlets.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..06eec89c0ac0de2f6ca6578603a4e23f064dd972 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/GOOG/2023.03.07/Google to launch fund to support Taiwan's media outlets.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Google has come under pressure in some countries to negotiate commercial deals and pay news publishers for their content, though not in Taiwan.Google said it will pay local publishers through what it calls a "Taiwan News Digital Co-prosperity Fund" to strengthen their digital publishing capability. The fund will help Taiwan local media "hone digital skills, gain expertise and support the sustainable development of Taiwan's news industry", the company said. "Even while Google faces many challenges in the overall international environment, Taiwan remains a crucial global stronghold," Tina Lin, managing director of sales and operations at Google Taiwan, told reporters in Taipei. Google said Taiwan's media industry has been facing major competitive challenges in adapting to the digital age, pointing out that advertising revenues for traditional media outlets have dropped 70% from 2003 to 2020. The initiative marks the latest effort by the internet giant to develop mechanisms to support and compensate regional news providers whose content appears on Google, as it faces the prospect that governments may impose regulations to require such mechanisms. An Australian law giving the government power to compel Google and rival Meta Platforms to negotiate content supply deals with media outlets has largely worked, according to an Australian government report in late 2022.

Startups like OpenAI and tech giants like Microsoft and Google have introduced or announced AI chatbots that can synthesize web information to answer complex searches or even write original novels."We're seeing one of the most exciting moments in technology emerging," Jason Citron, chief executive of San Francisco-based Discord, said during a press briefing. Discord, which lets groups of users chat by text, video and voice, said it will revamp a bot called Clyde, who will now be powered by OpenAI technology. Discord users can invoke the AI-powered Clyde to answer trivia questions, help schedule meetings or recommend playlists, the company said.Another AI feature will let users "remix" their friends' avatars using generative image models. For instance, the feature could place a crown on a person's head in their profile image to celebrate their birthday. If users have been away from Discord and missed a stream of messages, an AI tool will be able to summarize the conversation and allow users to quickly jump back to parts of the message thread to catch up on the discussion. The tool will begin to roll out next week in a limited number of Discord groups, the company said.Discord said it will also experiment with OpenAI technology to improve an existing content moderation tool that helps automatically block harmful or unwanted messages from a Discord chat. The revamped tool can flag messages to moderators and also understand the context of the conversation, the company said.

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment. The company has been working on making it easier for developers to use non-Nvidia chips and in October launched a set of free software tools for AI applications that enable switching back and forth between Nvidia and AMD chips.

From established giants like Facebook and Twitter to newer entrants like TikTok and Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), the competition is fierce and the potential for growth is enormous.One segment that has caught the attention of investors and industry experts alike is the children's social media market. As more and more young people become active online, there is a growing need for platforms that cater specifically to their needs and interests.Established players such as YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Instagram, owned by Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META), have also introduced features specifically aimed at younger users, and new entrants are popping up all the time. As investors, it's important to keep an eye on these developments and assess the potential for growth in this exciting and rapidly evolving market.In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the key players in the children's social media space and explore the potential for growth and investment opportunities in this exciting segment of the social media and entertainment industries.One company that is making a name for itself in the children's social media and entertainment space is Grom Social Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ: GROM), a diversified media, technology, and entertainment company dedicated to family-friendly programming, web filtering technology, and safe social media for kids.Grom Social Enterprises has several operating subsidiaries. Grom Social is their "mothership," a media platform devoted to safe social media for children under the age of 13, who are barred from using most social media platforms without parental permission. The app allows children to chat with their friends, view original content, and/or play games designed by the company, and it is monitored by live associates 365 days a year. The platform entertains children, allows them to interact with friends, access relevant news, and play proprietary games—all while teaching them how to be good digital citizens.At the start of the year, Grom Social announced that they are currently working to rebrand and relaunch the Grom Mobile App. The app will relaunch with a focus on improving the in-app user experience, and GROM says they have identified unique features to develop and implement in 2023.GROM Social CEO Darren Marks says, “We believe that these enhancements and additions will drive user traffic and pave the path to monetization, first through traditional advertising and sponsorship models and later through paid subscription.Parents are demanding that these online spaces be better controlled to be more kid-friendly as the social media landscape changes. A study on early social media initiation found that “initiating social media platforms, namely Instagram or Snapchat, in later childhood (10 years of age or younger) was significantly associated with problematic digital behavior outcomes.”With parents turning to other social platforms due to a lack of parental control capabilities and fear of what their children are doing on the internet, the Grom Mobile app has the potential to be a game changer in the space.Another GROM subsidiary in the children's entertainment space is called Top Draw Animation. Top Draw produces animated content that has garnered recognition for some of the biggest media organizations in the world.On March 8, GROM announced that they will lend their animation expertise to season two of Mansour, an emerging animated hit series from Bidaya Media, the production team behind Iftah Ya Simsim, which is the Arabic language version of Sesame Street.“With rich characters, compelling storylines, and top-shelf animation, Bidaya Media has crafted the perfect hit series,” said Top Draw Animation President Russell Hicks. “We are thrilled to secure another major win for Top Draw, which continues to be a key growth driver for Grom.” Hicks continued.Grom Social Enterprises Inc. also includes Grom Educational Services, which provides web filtering for K–12 schools, the government, and private businesses.With their innovative children's social platform that includes social as well as educational and entertainment content, GROM is poised to pave their own path towards being the top player in the children's social media sector.Their platform provides a safe and engaging space for kids to connect with their friends, share content, and learn new skills. With the potential for significant growth in this market, GROM is poised to become a major player in the children's social media and internet safety industry.Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), the disappearing photo application, rose to prominence on the backs of a younger user base than some of its contemporaries. The app seemingly exploded with the rate of use among teens and tweens with the app’s use of filters and content modification tools.Last year, the company announced an update to make the app safer for its younger user base. The parental feature is an in-app tool called Family Center that allows parents to oversee their children's accounts. The home area of the Family Center displays three options: view the child's friends, see who they've messaged in the past week, and report abuse or safety concerns."Family Center is designed to reflect the way that parents engage with their teens in the real world, where parents usually know who their teens' friends are and when they are hanging out, but don't eavesdrop on their private conversations," according to the company. “.ur goal is to help empower parents and teens in a way that still protects a teenager's autonomy and privacy."According to Pew Research, 80% of all parents with a child age 11 or younger say their child ever watches videos on YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), with 53% reporting that their child does this daily, including about a third who say this happens several times a day (35%).In 2015, Google launched YouTube Kids, a website and video app, as a fun, family-friendly place for kids and families. The YouTube Kids app has popular children's videos and diverse new content, delivered in a way that's more child-friendly. The app provides a version of the YouTube service oriented solely towards children, with curated selections of content, parental control features, and filtering of videos deemed inappropriate for viewing by children under the age of 13.YouTube Kids has faced criticism for multiple concerns, including the use of commercial advertising as well as algorithmic suggestions of videos that may be inappropriate for the app's target demographic of children under 13, as the app has been associated with a controversy surrounding disturbing and/or violent videos depicting characters from children's media franchises.Criticism over the videos led YouTube to announce that it would take more stringent actions to review and filter such videos when reported by the community and prevent them from being accessible from within the YouTube Kids app.While YouTube stands out as the most common online platform teens use, according to Pew Research, 62% of teens are also using Instagram, which is a subsidiary of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META). Instagram has made changes in the past, such as new safety settings for young users, making new accounts private by default for kids under 16, blocking some adults from interacting with teens on the platform, and restricting how advertisers can target its younger users.The changes are a result of the increased pressure that lawmakers, regulators, parents, and child safety advocates have placed on social media platforms because they are concerned about the effects of social media on children's safety, privacy, and mental health.While not involved in children's social media, Nextdoor Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KIND)is a company that could benefit from a government crackdown on foreign social media apps, such as Tik Tok.Nextdoor is an app where you connect to the neighborhoods that users live in. Neighbors around the world use Nextdoor to receive trusted information from hyper-local users, give and get help, get things done, and build real-world connections with nearby neighbors, businesses, and public services. The Nextdoor application tends to cater towards an older audience, one that certainly has some crossover with other apps currently under scrutiny, and could see a push if other social media apps are banned from the US.KIND unveiled a new line of products on March 7 to help small businesses expand in the face of escalating economic difficulties. According to the company, small business users now have access to an expanded set of free marketing tools, including events, polls, video, and unlimited business posts. This will unlock more ways to create meaningful connections with a high-intent local audience.The CapitalGainsReport covers breaking news and analysis on business and the economy, including the latest news in technology, stock markets, media and finance.

We look at some potential pressure points.1/ BANKSBank have shot up the worry list as the SVB rout hit bank stocks globally on contagion fears. JPMorgan and BofA shares fell over 5% on Thursday, European banks slid on Friday.SVB's troubles stem from deposit outflows due to heavy spending by clients in the tech and healthcare sectors, raising questions over whether other banks would have to cover deposit outflows with loss-making bond sales too. In February, U.S. regulators said U.S. banks had unrealised losses of more than $620 billion on securities, underscoring the hit from rising interest rates.Germany's Commerzbank issued a rare statement playing down any threat from SVB.For now, analysts saw SVB's issues as idiosyncratic and took comfort from safer business models at larger banks. BofA noted European banks' bond holdings have not grown since 2015."Normally speaking, banks would not be taking big duration bets with deposits, but with such rapid rate rises it is clear why investors could be worried and are selling now and asking questions later," said Gary Kirk, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management.

Tech firms are reversing pandemic-era exuberance, cutting jobs after years of hiring sprees. Google owner Alphabet plans to axe about 12,000 workers; Microsoft, Amazon and Meta are together firing almost 40,000."Despite being a rate sensitive investment, NASDAQ has not responded to the implications of interest rates. If rates continue to rise in 2023, we may see a significant sell-off," said Bruno Schneller, a managing director at INVICO Asset Management. Tech layoffs announced in the last four months https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-MARKETS/lgvdkoyajpo/chart.png 3/ DEFAULT RISKSThe risk premium on corporate debt has fallen since the start of the year and signals little risk, but corporate defaults are rising.S&P Global said Europe had the second-highest default count last year since 2009. It expects U.S. and European default rates to reach 3.75% and 3.25%, respectively, in September 2023 versus 1.6% and 1.4% a year before, with pessimistic forecasts of 6.0% and 5.5% not "out of the question."And with defaults rising, the focus is on the less visible private debt markets, which have ballooned to $1.4 trillion from $250 billion in 2010.In a low rate world, the largely floating-rate nature of the financing appealed to investors, who can reap returns up to the low double digits, but now that means ballooning interest costs as central banks hike rates.

Caution remains. After all, rising borrowing costs roiled crypto markets in 2022, with Bitcoin prices plunging 64%.The collapse of various dominant crypto companies, most notably FTX, left investors shouldering large losses and prompted calls for more regulation.Shares of crypto-related companies fell on March 9, after Silvergate Capital Corp, one of the biggest banks in the cryptocurrency industry announced it would wind down operations and sparked a crisis of confidence in the industry.

A Cisco spokesperson said the ruling reinforces that the PTO's patent review proceedings are "an important vehicle to preserve a balanced patent system, protect innovation, and assure patent quality in the United States."Representatives for the other plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The PTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board is popular with big tech companies that are often targeted with patent lawsuits and that use the board's "inter partes review" process to contest patents they are accused of infringing.

They argued it undermined the role inter partes review plays in "protecting a strong patent system" and violated federal law. Companies including Tesla, Honda, Comcast and Dell filed briefs at the Federal Circuit in support of the plaintiffs.The California court dismissed the case in 2021, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions on whether to review inter partes review petitions cannot be appealed. The Federal Circuit also rejected the companies' arguments that the rule was arbitrary and violated U.S. patent law. But the three-judge panel said the PTO may have been required to hold a period of public notice and comment before making the rule, and that it could be challenged based on that argument.The case is Apple Inc v.

About 20% of Koo users actively create content on the app and the ChatGPT integration could help increase that figure, he added. The feature will roll out first to verified accounts on Koo and eventually become available to all users.In a demo to Reuters, the tool drafted a post using a quote from Albert Einstein and included three related hashtags. Koo will also explore adding labels to indicate whether a post was created with the help of ChatGPT. "I think people should know if content is AI-generated," Bidawatka said.

In recent years, researchers have obtained much more human-like results with such models by drastically increasing the amount of data fed to them and the amount of computing power used to train them. Claude, as Anthropic's model is known, is built to carry out similar tasks to ChatGPT by responding to prompts with human-like text output, whether that is in the form of editing legal contracts or writing computer code.But Anthropic, which was co-founded by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, both of whom are former OpenAI executives, has put a focus on producing AI systems that are less likely to generate offensive or dangerous content, such as instructions for computer hacking or making weapons, than other systems.Such AI safety concerns gained prominence last month after Microsoft said it would limit queries to its new chat-powered Bing search engine after a New York Times columnist found that the chatbot displayed an alter ego and produced unsettling responses during an extended conversation.Safety issues have been a thorny problem for tech companies because chatbots do not understand the meaning of the words they generate. To avoid generating harmful content, the creators of chatbots often program them to avoid certain subject areas altogether. But that leaves chatbots vulnerable to so-called "prompt engineering," where users talk their way around restrictions.Anthropic has taken a different approach, giving Claude a set of principles at the time the model is "trained" with vast amounts of text data. Rather than trying to avoid potentially dangerous topics, Claude is designed to explain its objections, based on its principles. "There was nothing scary. That's one of the reasons we liked Anthropic," Richard Robinson, chief executive of Robin AI, a London-based startup that uses AI to analyze legal contracts that Anthropic granted early access to Claude, told Reuters in an interview.Robinson said his firm had tried applying OpenAI's technology to contracts but found that Claude was both better at understanding dense legal language and less likely to generate strange responses."If anything, the challenge was in getting it to loosen its restraints somewhat for genuinely acceptable uses," Robinson said.

"Pre-installed apps can be a weak security point and we want to ensure no foreign nations, including China, are exploiting it. It's a matter of national security," the official added.India has ramped up scrutiny of Chinese businesses since a 2020 border clash between the neighbours, banning more than 300 Chinese apps, including TikTok. It has also intensified scrutiny of investments by Chinese firms.Globally too, many nations have imposed restrictions on the use of technology from Chinese firms like Huawei and Hikvision on fears Beijing could use them to spy on foreign citizens. China denies these allegations.Currently, most smartphones come with pre-installed apps that cannot be deleted, such as Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi's app store GetApps, Samsung's payment app Samsung Pay mini and iPhone maker Apple's browser Safari.Under the new rules, smartphone makers will have to provide an uninstall option and new models will be checked for compliance by a lab authorized by the Bureau of Indian Standards agency, two people with knowledge of the plan said.The government is also considering mandating screening of every major operating system update before it is rolled out to consumers, one of the people said."Majority of smartphones used in India are having pre-installed Apps/Bloatware which poses serious privacy/information security issue(s)," stated a Feb. 8 confidential government record of an IT ministry meeting, seen by Reuters.The closed-door meeting was attended by representatives from Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and Vivo, the meeting record shows.The government has decided to give smartphone makers a year to comply once the rule comes into effect, the date for which has not been fixed yet, the document added.The companies and India's IT ministry did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.'MASSIVE HINDRANCE'India's fast-growing smartphone market is dominated by Chinese players, with Xiaomi and BBK Electronics' Vivo and Oppo accounting for almost half of all sales, Counterpoint data shows. South Korea's Samsung has a 20% share and Apple has 3%. While European Union regulations require allowing removal of pre-installed apps, it does not have a screening mechanism to check for compliance like India is considering. An industry executive said some pre-installed apps like the camera are critical to user experience and the government must make a distinction between these and non-essential ones when imposing screening rules.Smartphone players often sell their devices with proprietary apps, but also sometimes pre-install others with which they have monetisation agreements.

Currently it takes about 21 weeks for a smartphone and its parts to be tested by the government agency for safety compliance."It's a massive hindrance to a company's go-to market strategy," the executive said.

For example, GPT-4 can assume a Socratic style of conversation and respond to questions with questions. The previous iteration of the technology had a fixed tone and style. Soon ChatGPT users will have the option to change the chatbot's tone and style of responses, OpenAI said. WHAT ARE THE CAPABILITIES OF GPT-4? The latest version has outperformed its predecessor in the U.S. bar exam and the Graduate Record Examination (GRE). GPT-4 can also help individuals calculate their taxes, a demonstration by Greg Brockman, OpenAI's president, showed.The demo showed it could take a photo of a hand-drawn mock-up for a simple website and create a real one.Be My Eyes, an app that caters to visually impaired people, will provide a virtual volunteer tool powered by GPT-4 on its app.WHAT ARE THE LIMITATIONS OF GPT-4? According to OpenAI, GPT-4 has similar limitations as its prior versions and is "less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios".Inaccurate responses known as "hallucinations" have been a challenge for many AI programs, including GPT-4.OpenAI said GPT-4 can rival human propagandists in many domains, especially when teamed up with a human editor.It cited an example where GPT-4 came up with suggestions that seemed plausible, when it was asked about how to get two parties to disagree with each other.OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said GPT-4 was "most capable and aligned" with human values and intent, though "it is still flawed."GPT-4 generally lacks knowledge of events that occurred after September 2021, when the vast majority of its data was cut off. It also does not learn from experience. WHO HAS ACCESS TO GPT-4?While GPT-4 can process both text and image inputs, only the text-input feature will be available to ChatGPT Plus subscribers and software developers, with a waitlist, while the image-input ability is not publicly available yet.The subscription plan, which offers faster response time and priority access to new features and improvements, was launched in February and costs $20 per month.GPT-4 powers Microsoft's Bing AI chatbot and some features on language learning platform Duolingo's subscription tier.

The ideas do not represent the trading positions of the firms, which cannot be revealed for regulatory reasons.1/ GRAMERCY FUNDS MANAGEMENT * Emerging markets fund chaired by Mohamed A. El-Erian* Size: $5 billion* Founded in 1998* Key trade: Long Chinese distressed/short investment grade bonds Philip Meier, head of emerging markets debt at Gramercy, suggests a two-sided value trade. Bond prices attached to Chinese property developers couldn't get much cheaper, he says. A company's bonds, when viewed as risky, trade at a discount. He would buy these. "If tensions between China and the U.S. do not escalate, sanctions are not coming and both countries get along reasonably okay for the next couple of years, then we believe that the Chinese property leg of the trade will make quite a bit of money on the long side," said Meier.Meier said bonds of Chinese property developers would likely see limited falls as they are already at distressed levels if tensions escalate, but investment grade bonds in sanctioned-sensitive sectors would fall sharply. Taking a short position on investment grade bonds would make up for losses on long positions elsewhere, he said. 2/ NWI MANAGEMENT LP* macro hedge fund with emphasis on emerging markets * Size: $2.1 billion * Founded in 1999* Key trade: long non-Chinese AI companiesBuying shares of U.S. firms that develop artificial intelligence (AI) such as Alphabet, Nvidia and Microsoft, is another option, said NWI Management's managing director of global macro research Tara Hariharan."U.S. investment in advanced technology through the Chips Act and Inflation Reduction Act will give U.S. tech companies a significant edge over Chinese counterparts," said Hariharan, referring to recent legislation. Hariharan added that NWI Management viewed AI as the "next frontier" in tech, noting that the most promising initiatives so far had come from U.S. firms. If tensions were resolved, being caught with a negative view on Chinese stocks would not be beneficial, and therefore she would not short Chinese AI firms but invest in U.S. ones instead.

While graphite mines exist outside of China, essentially all of the processing to make the graphite needed for batteries occurs in China, said Sam Berridge, who manages the Strategic Natural Resources Fund at Perennial Value Management. Supply disruption would devastate battery production globally until alternative manufacturing centres were established, Berridge said, adding buying shares of graphite firms or those firms involved in graphite shipment could be one way to trade geopolitical tensions."The most sensitive commodity to a break down in trade between China and Russia and the West is graphite," he added.Graphic: Batteries hungry for Graphite - https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-HEDGEFUNDS/dwpkdkdmnvm/chart.png4/ MKP Capital * Trading on macro economic factors* Size: $3 billion * Founded in 1995 * Key trade: Short Hong Kong's Hang Seng indexMichael Hume, head of strategy and research at MKP Capital, suggests taking a bet against Hong Kong stocks."You would need to get the timing right. Because at the moment, markets are still living off of the reopening in China," Hume said.Once this is priced in, stock prices could fall in sympathy with the exchange rates. "The catalyst for the trade could be a renewal of concerns over China lending support to Russia in its war against Ukraine or any new potential worries over the situation in Taiwan," said Hume.

To add to that, Lim would buy a South Asian currency, such as the Singapore dollar, which could benefit from U.S./Chinese decoupling.To hedge political risks, Lim said the fund could use derivatives including options or swaps.For long-term opportunities, Lim pointed to Southeast Asia."Supply chains are already shifting to Penang, and they are receiving investment from both China and the U.S. This is very positive for Malaysia's current account going forward," he said.

At the same time, the drop in yields has so far been a boon for equities, especially tech and other large growth stocks whose relatively strong performance helped support the benchmark S&P 500 . The index finished up 1.4% for the week, with strength in technology stocks outweighing sharp declines in bank shares.While the banking crisis has stirred recession fears, "it's the interest rate move that's a ... tailwind for stocks right now," said Charlie McElligott, managing director of cross-asset macro strategy at Nomura.The near-term trajectory of yields will likely hinge on next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Signs that the central bank may prioritize financial stability and slow or pause its rate increases could pull yields even lower. Conversely, yields could rebound if the Fed signals that bringing down inflation - which remains high despite a barrage of rate increases - will continue to be job one."The market is not quite sure how the Fed is going to look at this," said Garrett Melson, portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions.For now, futures markets indicate that investors are assigning a 60% probability of a 25 basis point rate increase at the Fed's March 21-22 meeting, with rate cuts to follow later in the year - a sharp turnaround from the hawkish expectations that prevailed earlier this month."For the first time during this Fed tightening cycle, the Fed now has to balance its inflation-fighting credibility with financial market stability," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors.Treasury yields fell to historic lows after the Fed cut rates to support the economy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, fueling a stock market rally that saw the S&P 500 double from its March 2020 trough at one point.As the Fed began tightening monetary policy a year ago to fight inflation, Treasury yields began to rise, offering investors an increasingly attractive alternative to equities. Two-year yields, which recently stood at 3.85%, hit an over 15-year high of 5.08% earlier this month. The recent drop in rates has helped stocks regain their appeal, according to some metrics. The equity risk premium, or the extra return investors expect to receive for holding stocks over risk-free government bonds, has rebounded to where it stood in early January but still remains near its lowest level in over a decade, according to Refinitiv data.Other metrics show stocks remain expensive by historical standards. The S&P 500 trades at 17.5 times forward earnings estimates compared to its historic average P/E of 15.6 times, according to Refinitiv Datastream.The rally in interest-rate sensitive areas such as tech stocks appears to signal that the market expects rates to continue to fall as a widely feared recession nears, Nomura's McElligott said.The S&P 500 information technology sector and communication services sector rose over 5% and nearly 7%, respectively, for the week, buoyed by strong gains in megacap stocks Microsoft Corp and Google parent Alphabet Inc.Some investors, however, are skeptical of stock valuations. Bob Kalman, senior portfolio manager at Miramar Capital, said the Nasdaq 100 should trade at no more than 25 times forward earnings given current interest rates, below its current 27.3."People have this muscle memory to buy mega-cap tech whenever they get nervous," Kalman said. "But the Fed hasn't backed off its rhetoric that they know they must overshoot because inflation is a much larger concern in the economy than a couple of bank failures."

[L8N35S34A]While the industry expects an agreement by the end of the year, there are concerns that the complexity and the lack of progress could delay the legislation to next year, and European elections could see MEPs with an entirely different set of priorities take office."The pace at which new systems are being released makes regulation a real challenge," said Daniel Leufer, a senior policy analyst at rights group Access Now. "It's a fast-moving target, but there are measures that remain relevant despite the speed of development: transparency, quality control, and measures to assert their fundamental rights."BRISK DEVELOPMENTSLawmakers are working through the more than 3,000 tabled amendments, covering everything from the creation of a new AI office to the scope of the Act's rules."Negotiations are quite complex because there are many different committees involved," said Brando Benifei, an Italian MEP and one of the two lawmakers leading negotiations on the bloc's much-anticipated AI Act. "The discussions can be quite long. You have to talk to some 20 MEPs every time."Legislators have sought to strike a balance between encouraging innovation while protecting citizens' fundamental rights.This led to different AI tools being classified according to their perceived risk level: from minimal through to limited, high, and unacceptable. High-risk tools won't be banned, but will require companies to be highly transparent in their operations.But these debates have left little room for addressing aggressively expanding generative AI technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion that have swept across the globe, courting both user fascination and controversy. By February, ChatGPT, made by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, set a record for the fastest growing user base of any consumer application app in history.Almost all of the big tech players have stakes in the sector, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta.BIG TECH, BIG PROBLEMSThe EU discussions have raised concerns for companies -- from small startups to Big Tech -- on how regulations might affect their business and whether they would be at a competitive disadvantage against rivals from other continents.Behind the scenes, Big Tech companies, who have invested billions of dollars in the new technology, have lobbied hard to keep their innovations outside the ambit of the high-risk clarification that would mean more compliance, more costs and more accountability around their products, sources said.A recent survey by industry body appliedAI showed that 51% of the respondents expect a slowdown of AI development activities as a result of the AI Act.To address tools like ChatGPT, which have seemingly endless applications, lawmakers introduced yet another category, "General Purpose AI Systems" (GPAIS), to describe tools that can be adapted to perform a number of functions. It remains unclear if all GPAIS will be deemed high-risk.Representatives from tech companies have pushed back against such moves, insisting their own in-house guidelines are robust enough to ensure the technology is deployed safely, and even suggesting the Act should have an opt-in clause, under which firms can decide for themselves whether the regulations apply.DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD?Google-owned AI firm DeepMind, which is currently testing its own AI chatbot Sparrow, told Reuters the regulation of multi-purpose systems was complex."We believe the creation of a governance framework around GPAIS needs to be an inclusive process, which means all affected communities and civil society should be involved," said Alexandra Belias, the firm's head of international public policy.She added: "The question here is: how do we make sure the risk-management framework we create today will still be adequate tomorrow?"Daniel Ek, chief executive of audio streaming platform Spotify - which recently launched its own "AI DJ", capable of curating personalised playlists - told Reuters the technology was "a double-edged sword"."There's lots of things that we have to take into account," he said. "Our team is working very actively with regulators, trying to make sure that this technology benefits as many as possible and is as safe as possible."MEPs say the Act will be subject to regular reviews, allowing for updates as and when new issues with AI emerge. But, with European elections on the horizon in 2024, they are under pressure to deliver something substantial the first time around."Discussions must not be rushed, and compromises must not be made just so the file can be closed before the end of the year," said Leufer. "People's rights are at stake."

It comes with a $1 million prize thanks to backing from Alphabet Inc's Google.The Ethernet got its start when Metcalfe, who later went on to co-found computing network equipment maker 3Com, was asked to hook up the office printer.In the early 1970s, he worked at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, which had invented the personal computer and also a laser printer. Metcalfe sketched out a networking approach that would excel at connecting them together in way that could expand smoothly as the number of computers in the network rose - which helped pave the way for the internet.Metcalfe, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 and earned a doctorate in computer science from Harvard in 1973, told Reuters in an interview that there is still much research to be done in connecting computers, especially in artificial intelligence. Metcalfe said previous generations of AI "died on the vine because of a lack of data." That is no longer a problem thanks to the billion-plus people generating data by using the internet, but the challenge now is to better connect the computers that process that data through artificial neural networks.Those networks loosely approximate the human brain, except that in a human brain, neurons have more than 10,000 connections each, while their artificial counterparts have far fewer."You can either increase the compute power of the neurons, or you can connect them better. And the brain teaches us that connecting them is where it's at," Metcalfe said.

"But hopefully when it completes, we can get back to focusing on tech instead of visas."GOLDEN VETOESItaly's use of its golden powers usually results in deals being approved with recommendations intended to preserve the national interest.Since the golden power was introduced in 2012, government authorities have blocked foreign forays into Italy nine times.In six cases, the vetoes stopped Chinese bids, while Meloni's predecessor Mario Draghi last year rejected an attempt by Russia's state-owned atomic company Rosatom to acquire Faber Industrie, a hydrogen company.The next key decision that Meloni's government needs to make concerns the planned sale of a Lukoil-owned refinery in Sicily to Cypriot private equity firm G.O.I. Energy.Some media outlets have speculated that the United States is concerned over the sale of the Priolo refinery, which is only about 50 km (30 miles) away from a NATO base in Sigonella.In response, G.O.I.

In that period, the S&P 500 has fallen 0.5%. Megagaps are attracting bets because of strong balance sheets, robust profit margins and business models expected to hold up better if recession hits, investors said. A recent pullback in U.S. bond yields, whose ascent punished growth stocks last year, is also buoying their prices in 2023. But their strength could have drawbacks. Megacaps' growing market capitalization means indexes such as the S&P 500 are increasingly driven by a smaller cluster of stocks. That could spur volatility in broader markets if circumstances change and investors make a quick exit from big tech and growth names."The view from investors is that technology companies are in a better place to get through an uncertain period of time," said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, which is overweight the tech sector. However, "when you have crowding you could see a sharp reversal out of nowhere because everyone is in the same area."Strength in megacaps also cloaks weakness elsewhere. Measures of market breadth have turned more negative, while the equal-weighted S&P 500, a proxy for the average stock in the benchmark index, is down over 5% since March.Investors are bracing for more banking sector volatility next week, after sharp declines in shares of European giants Deutsche Bank and UBS on Friday followed the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier this month. Upcoming U.S. data on consumer confidence and inflation could also sway markets.Megacaps led the U.S. market in the decade following the financial crisis and spearheaded Wall Street's blistering rebound after the selloff in early 2020 fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. But they tumbled last year, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight 40-year high inflation.Their rebound this year accelerated as concerns over the banking system spiked, and the combined weight of Apple and Microsoft in the S&P 500 recently topped 13%. That was the highest in over 30 years for any top two stocks in the index, according to Todd Sohn, technical strategist at Strategas.The weight of the top five S&P 500 companies has rebounded to 21.7% from 18.8% for the top five stocks at the end of 2022. As megacaps have rallied, some indicators of breadth, which technical analysts view as gauges of broad market health, have darkened recently. The number of new 52-week lows on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was on pace to eclipse new highs for three straight weeks, a reversal after new highs had topped new lows almost every week to start 2023, according to Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Hi Mount Research.Further, the percentage of industry groups tracked by Delwiche above their 10-week moving averages has plummeted from 87% in early February to 7% in the latest week."After some hopeful signs earlier this year, it's evidence that the pattern of weakness beneath the surface that we saw last year is re-emerging," Delwiche said. "We need to see better participation if the indexes are going to be able to sustain the next leg higher."The performance of megacaps could suffer if banking worries ease and investors scoop up economically sensitive stocks that have struggled. The S&P 500 energy sector is down 7.5% since March 8, while the industrials sector is off 5%.A rebound in U.S. bond yields could pressure tech and growth stocks. Earnings growth in the tech sector, meanwhile, is expected to trail the overall S&P 500 in 2023.Nevertheless, some investors are bullish on megacap stocks. Despite last year's market swoon, "our bias has been that we think we are still in ... an up trend," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments, who is overweight many megacaps. In turn, he said, that likely means "the big-cap growth stocks will be the ones who lead from here."

Dust aims to build AI tools that improve white-collar workers' productivity.Alphabet Inc and Microsoft Corp's rapid push on AI and the billions of dollars they are spending to gain an edge have heightened competition in Silicon Valley. Startups in the space are pulling in offers from investors to take on their Big Tech peers and are closing deals in several days instead of weeks. It is a bright spot for an otherwise slow venture-capital market."Big Tech companies with massive investments in AI are not going to let their incumbent distribution advantage slip away easily," wrote Konstantine Buhler, a Sequoia Capital partner who led the Dust deal and is scouting productivity apps on the belief that "disruption is inevitable."There's an investment craze over generative artificial intelligence, the subset of AI that exploded in popularity with ChatGPT, the chatbot from startup OpenAI. Such technology can create virtually any text, image or other content on command after having trained on the inputs of past data."VCs think this is the new internet," a generative AI founder in the United States told Reuters.Investment in such startups has ballooned to $5.9 billion since the beginning of 2022, up from $1.5 billion in 2020, according to data from PitchBook. While the closure of Silicon Valley Bank may hamper debt financing, venture capitalists said interest in funding AI startups remains high, especially for top early-stage founders.Samir Kaul, a founding partner at Khosla Ventures, itself an early backer of OpenAI, said the firm is receiving way more generative AI pitches than just six months ago."Now you are getting this herd mentality" among venture capitalists, said Kaul. That means lackluster companies "will get funded," then "fail and give the entire sector, which is very promising, a black eye."ChatGPT set off massive investment because "ninety-plus percent of venture capitalists are actually very risk averse. Until you see a real application, people don't really dive in," he said.COMPETING OFFERSChatGPT's human-like responses to any query made observers predict AI could disrupt search-engine technology, along with Google's market dominance. Two months after its launch, Microsoft upgraded its search competitor Bing with a chatbot powered by OpenAI's technology.Investors sense opportunity, even for a sale if not an initial public offering; some are betting that AI startups might outpace bigger rivals, encumbered by their size.You.com, a search engine company founded in 2020 and backed by Salesforce's CEO Marc Benioff, has found new life from incorporating generative AI technology. It has attracted more attention from users and investors, handling millions of searches per day, the company told Reuters.Jordan Jacobs, managing partner at Radical Ventures and investor in You.com, said the upstart was "an example of the right people with the right technology and opportunity, that can disrupt even the most successful business models in the world."Productivity tools including writing assistants such as Jasper and Regie.ai likewise have drawn millions of dollars in funding. These companies won business helping blog writers and salespeople do their jobs faster. But now, Big Tech has previewed upgrades for Google Docs and Microsoft Word that can draft marketing copy.How Jasper and Regie.ai will fare once such rival tools roll out remains unclear. Regie.ai's CEO earlier told Reuters that its in-house expertise and sales focus set it up well, while a Jasper vice president said its AI that creates on-brand content across platforms distinguished it.In such head-on competition, investors are looking for any technical advantage that could make a startup challenger stand out. Magic, a software engineering tool that can help write and edit code, is building its own specialized AI and user interface, for instance, said Jill Chase, partner at CapitalG who led its funding round. The company has raised $23 million in an effort to compete with Microsoft-owned GitHub.Still, the biggest race at times is among investors themselves, pushing up valuations.

The entrepreneurs have the fortune of picking who they want to work with," Motamedi said."You could describe the environment as exuberant or even excessive in terms of what's happening," he said, "but there is a lot of substance underlying it."

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment.

From established giants like Facebook and Twitter to newer entrants like TikTok and Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), the competition is fierce and the potential for growth is enormous.One segment that has caught the attention of investors and industry experts alike is the children's social media market. As more and more young people become active online, there is a growing need for platforms that cater specifically to their needs and interests.Established players such as YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOGL), and Instagram, owned by Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META), have also introduced features specifically aimed at younger users, and new entrants are popping up all the time. As investors, it's important to keep an eye on these developments and assess the potential for growth in this exciting and rapidly evolving market.In this article, we'll take a closer look at some of the key players in the children's social media space and explore the potential for growth and investment opportunities in this exciting segment of the social media and entertainment industries.One company that is making a name for itself in the children's social media and entertainment space is Grom Social Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ: GROM), a diversified media, technology, and entertainment company dedicated to family-friendly programming, web filtering technology, and safe social media for kids.Grom Social Enterprises has several operating subsidiaries. Grom Social is their "mothership," a media platform devoted to safe social media for children under the age of 13, who are barred from using most social media platforms without parental permission. The app allows children to chat with their friends, view original content, and/or play games designed by the company, and it is monitored by live associates 365 days a year. The platform entertains children, allows them to interact with friends, access relevant news, and play proprietary games—all while teaching them how to be good digital citizens.At the start of the year, Grom Social announced that they are currently working to rebrand and relaunch the Grom Mobile App. The app will relaunch with a focus on improving the in-app user experience, and GROM says they have identified unique features to develop and implement in 2023.GROM Social CEO Darren Marks says, “We believe that these enhancements and additions will drive user traffic and pave the path to monetization, first through traditional advertising and sponsorship models and later through paid subscription.Parents are demanding that these online spaces be better controlled to be more kid-friendly as the social media landscape changes. A study on early social media initiation found that “initiating social media platforms, namely Instagram or Snapchat, in later childhood (10 years of age or younger) was significantly associated with problematic digital behavior outcomes.”With parents turning to other social platforms due to a lack of parental control capabilities and fear of what their children are doing on the internet, the Grom Mobile app has the potential to be a game changer in the space.Another GROM subsidiary in the children's entertainment space is called Top Draw Animation. Top Draw produces animated content that has garnered recognition for some of the biggest media organizations in the world.On March 8, GROM announced that they will lend their animation expertise to season two of Mansour, an emerging animated hit series from Bidaya Media, the production team behind Iftah Ya Simsim, which is the Arabic language version of Sesame Street.“With rich characters, compelling storylines, and top-shelf animation, Bidaya Media has crafted the perfect hit series,” said Top Draw Animation President Russell Hicks. “We are thrilled to secure another major win for Top Draw, which continues to be a key growth driver for Grom.” Hicks continued.Grom Social Enterprises Inc. also includes Grom Educational Services, which provides web filtering for K–12 schools, the government, and private businesses.With their innovative children's social platform that includes social as well as educational and entertainment content, GROM is poised to pave their own path towards being the top player in the children's social media sector.Their platform provides a safe and engaging space for kids to connect with their friends, share content, and learn new skills. With the potential for significant growth in this market, GROM is poised to become a major player in the children's social media and internet safety industry.Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP), the disappearing photo application, rose to prominence on the backs of a younger user base than some of its contemporaries. The app seemingly exploded with the rate of use among teens and tweens with the app’s use of filters and content modification tools.Last year, the company announced an update to make the app safer for its younger user base. The parental feature is an in-app tool called Family Center that allows parents to oversee their children's accounts. The home area of the Family Center displays three options: view the child's friends, see who they've messaged in the past week, and report abuse or safety concerns."Family Center is designed to reflect the way that parents engage with their teens in the real world, where parents usually know who their teens' friends are and when they are hanging out, but don't eavesdrop on their private conversations," according to the company. “.ur goal is to help empower parents and teens in a way that still protects a teenager's autonomy and privacy."According to Pew Research, 80% of all parents with a child age 11 or younger say their child ever watches videos on YouTube, owned by Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOGL), with 53% reporting that their child does this daily, including about a third who say this happens several times a day (35%).In 2015, Google launched YouTube Kids, a website and video app, as a fun, family-friendly place for kids and families. The YouTube Kids app has popular children's videos and diverse new content, delivered in a way that's more child-friendly. The app provides a version of the YouTube service oriented solely towards children, with curated selections of content, parental control features, and filtering of videos deemed inappropriate for viewing by children under the age of 13.YouTube Kids has faced criticism for multiple concerns, including the use of commercial advertising as well as algorithmic suggestions of videos that may be inappropriate for the app's target demographic of children under 13, as the app has been associated with a controversy surrounding disturbing and/or violent videos depicting characters from children's media franchises.Criticism over the videos led YouTube to announce that it would take more stringent actions to review and filter such videos when reported by the community and prevent them from being accessible from within the YouTube Kids app.While YouTube stands out as the most common online platform teens use, according to Pew Research, 62% of teens are also using Instagram, which is a subsidiary of Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ: META). Instagram has made changes in the past, such as new safety settings for young users, making new accounts private by default for kids under 16, blocking some adults from interacting with teens on the platform, and restricting how advertisers can target its younger users.The changes are a result of the increased pressure that lawmakers, regulators, parents, and child safety advocates have placed on social media platforms because they are concerned about the effects of social media on children's safety, privacy, and mental health.While not involved in children's social media, Nextdoor Holdings Inc. (NYSE: KIND)is a company that could benefit from a government crackdown on foreign social media apps, such as Tik Tok.Nextdoor is an app where you connect to the neighborhoods that users live in. Neighbors around the world use Nextdoor to receive trusted information from hyper-local users, give and get help, get things done, and build real-world connections with nearby neighbors, businesses, and public services. The Nextdoor application tends to cater towards an older audience, one that certainly has some crossover with other apps currently under scrutiny, and could see a push if other social media apps are banned from the US.KIND unveiled a new line of products on March 7 to help small businesses expand in the face of escalating economic difficulties. According to the company, small business users now have access to an expanded set of free marketing tools, including events, polls, video, and unlimited business posts. This will unlock more ways to create meaningful connections with a high-intent local audience.The CapitalGainsReport covers breaking news and analysis on business and the economy, including the latest news in technology, stock markets, media and finance.

SVB was seeking funding to make up for the sale of a $21 billion loss-making bond portfolio, a result of surging rates. Central banks meanwhile are shrinking their balance sheets by offloading bond holdings as part of their fight against hot inflation. We look at some potential pressure points.1/ BANKSBank have shot up the worry list as the SVB rout hit bank stocks globally on contagion fears. JPMorgan and BofA shares fell over 5% on Thursday, European banks slid on Friday.SVB's troubles stem from deposit outflows due to heavy spending by clients in the tech and healthcare sectors, raising questions over whether other banks would have to cover deposit outflows with loss-making bond sales too. In February, U.S. regulators said U.S. banks had unrealised losses of more than $620 billion on securities, underscoring the hit from rising interest rates.Germany's Commerzbank issued a rare statement playing down any threat from SVB.For now, analysts saw SVB's issues as idiosyncratic and took comfort from safer business models at larger banks. BofA noted European banks' bond holdings have not grown since 2015."Normally speaking, banks would not be taking big duration bets with deposits, but with such rapid rate rises it is clear why investors could be worried and are selling now and asking questions later," said Gary Kirk, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management.

Companies including Tesla, Honda, Comcast and Dell filed briefs at the Federal Circuit in support of the plaintiffs.The California court dismissed the case in 2021, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions on whether to review inter partes review petitions cannot be appealed. The Federal Circuit also rejected the companies' arguments that the rule was arbitrary and violated U.S. patent law. But the three-judge panel said the PTO may have been required to hold a period of public notice and comment before making the rule, and that it could be challenged based on that argument.The case is Apple Inc v. Vidal, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, No. 22-1249.

"This will help creators get inspiration on what to create," he said. "They could ask (ChatGPT) for the trending news in their region and then write their thoughts."Last month, tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet's Google each announced their own generative AI chatbots which can synthesize information across the web in response to searches. Snap Inc, which owns photo messaging app Snapchat, also introduced a chatbot that was trained to have a fun and friendly tone.Bidawatka said Koo will be the first platform to integrate the technology into the ability to compose posts. Users can either type their prompts into the ChatGPT tool or use Koo's voice command feature. About 20% of Koo users actively create content on the app and the ChatGPT integration could help increase that figure, he added. The feature will roll out first to verified accounts on Koo and eventually become available to all users.In a demo to Reuters, the tool drafted a post using a quote from Albert Einstein and included three related hashtags. Koo will also explore adding labels to indicate whether a post was created with the help of ChatGPT. "I think people should know if content is AI-generated," Bidawatka said.

In recent years, researchers have obtained much more human-like results with such models by drastically increasing the amount of data fed to them and the amount of computing power used to train them. Claude, as Anthropic's model is known, is built to carry out similar tasks to ChatGPT by responding to prompts with human-like text output, whether that is in the form of editing legal contracts or writing computer code.But Anthropic, which was co-founded by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, both of whom are former OpenAI executives, has put a focus on producing AI systems that are less likely to generate offensive or dangerous content, such as instructions for computer hacking or making weapons, than other systems.Such AI safety concerns gained prominence last month after Microsoft said it would limit queries to its new chat-powered Bing search engine after a New York Times columnist found that the chatbot displayed an alter ego and produced unsettling responses during an extended conversation.Safety issues have been a thorny problem for tech companies because chatbots do not understand the meaning of the words they generate. To avoid generating harmful content, the creators of chatbots often program them to avoid certain subject areas altogether. But that leaves chatbots vulnerable to so-called "prompt engineering," where users talk their way around restrictions.Anthropic has taken a different approach, giving Claude a set of principles at the time the model is "trained" with vast amounts of text data. Rather than trying to avoid potentially dangerous topics, Claude is designed to explain its objections, based on its principles. "There was nothing scary. That's one of the reasons we liked Anthropic," Richard Robinson, chief executive of Robin AI, a London-based startup that uses AI to analyze legal contracts that Anthropic granted early access to Claude, told Reuters in an interview.Robinson said his firm had tried applying OpenAI's technology to contracts but found that Claude was both better at understanding dense legal language and less likely to generate strange responses."If anything, the challenge was in getting it to loosen its restraints somewhat for genuinely acceptable uses," Robinson said.

"Pre-installed apps can be a weak security point and we want to ensure no foreign nations, including China, are exploiting it. It's a matter of national security," the official added.India has ramped up scrutiny of Chinese businesses since a 2020 border clash between the neighbours, banning more than 300 Chinese apps, including TikTok. It has also intensified scrutiny of investments by Chinese firms.Globally too, many nations have imposed restrictions on the use of technology from Chinese firms like Huawei and Hikvision on fears Beijing could use them to spy on foreign citizens. China denies these allegations.Currently, most smartphones come with pre-installed apps that cannot be deleted, such as Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi's app store GetApps, Samsung's payment app Samsung Pay mini and iPhone maker Apple's browser Safari.Under the new rules, smartphone makers will have to provide an uninstall option and new models will be checked for compliance by a lab authorized by the Bureau of Indian Standards agency, two people with knowledge of the plan said.The government is also considering mandating screening of every major operating system update before it is rolled out to consumers, one of the people said."Majority of smartphones used in India are having pre-installed Apps/Bloatware which poses serious privacy/information security issue(s)," stated a Feb. 8 confidential government record of an IT ministry meeting, seen by Reuters.The closed-door meeting was attended by representatives from Xiaomi, Samsung, Apple and Vivo, the meeting record shows.The government has decided to give smartphone makers a year to comply once the rule comes into effect, the date for which has not been fixed yet, the document added.The companies and India's IT ministry did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.'MASSIVE HINDRANCE'India's fast-growing smartphone market is dominated by Chinese players, with Xiaomi and BBK Electronics' Vivo and Oppo accounting for almost half of all sales, Counterpoint data shows. South Korea's Samsung has a 20% share and Apple has 3%. While European Union regulations require allowing removal of pre-installed apps, it does not have a screening mechanism to check for compliance like India is considering. An industry executive said some pre-installed apps like the camera are critical to user experience and the government must make a distinction between these and non-essential ones when imposing screening rules.Smartphone players often sell their devices with proprietary apps, but also sometimes pre-install others with which they have monetisation agreements. The other worry is more testing could prolong approval timelines for smartphones, a second industry executive said. Currently it takes about 21 weeks for a smartphone and its parts to be tested by the government agency for safety compliance."It's a massive hindrance to a company's go-to market strategy," the executive said.

Britain, this week, described China as an "epoch-defining challenge" to the world.A year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine roiled markets, trading geopolitical risk is on investors' radar.Five prominent funds have shared five ideas using five different asset classes to try to profit from the increasing polarisation of the United States and China. The ideas do not represent the trading positions of the firms, which cannot be revealed for regulatory reasons.1/ GRAMERCY FUNDS MANAGEMENT * Emerging markets fund chaired by Mohamed A. El-Erian* Size: $5 billion* Founded in 1998* Key trade: Long Chinese distressed/short investment grade bonds Philip Meier, head of emerging markets debt at Gramercy, suggests a two-sided value trade. Bond prices attached to Chinese property developers couldn't get much cheaper, he says. A company's bonds, when viewed as risky, trade at a discount. He would buy these. "If tensions between China and the U.S. do not escalate, sanctions are not coming and both countries get along reasonably okay for the next couple of years, then we believe that the Chinese property leg of the trade will make quite a bit of money on the long side," said Meier.Meier said bonds of Chinese property developers would likely see limited falls as they are already at distressed levels if tensions escalate, but investment grade bonds in sanctioned-sensitive sectors would fall sharply. Taking a short position on investment grade bonds would make up for losses on long positions elsewhere, he said. 2/ NWI MANAGEMENT LP* macro hedge fund with emphasis on emerging markets * Size: $2.1 billion * Founded in 1999* Key trade: long non-Chinese AI companiesBuying shares of U.S. firms that develop artificial intelligence (AI) such as Alphabet, Nvidia and Microsoft, is another option, said NWI Management's managing director of global macro research Tara Hariharan."U.S. investment in advanced technology through the Chips Act and Inflation Reduction Act will give U.S. tech companies a significant edge over Chinese counterparts," said Hariharan, referring to recent legislation. Hariharan added that NWI Management viewed AI as the "next frontier" in tech, noting that the most promising initiatives so far had come from U.S. firms. If tensions were resolved, being caught with a negative view on Chinese stocks would not be beneficial, and therefore she would not short Chinese AI firms but invest in U.S. ones instead.

While graphite mines exist outside of China, essentially all of the processing to make the graphite needed for batteries occurs in China, said Sam Berridge, who manages the Strategic Natural Resources Fund at Perennial Value Management. Supply disruption would devastate battery production globally until alternative manufacturing centres were established, Berridge said, adding buying shares of graphite firms or those firms involved in graphite shipment could be one way to trade geopolitical tensions."The most sensitive commodity to a break down in trade between China and Russia and the West is graphite," he added.Graphic: Batteries hungry for Graphite - https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-HEDGEFUNDS/dwpkdkdmnvm/chart.png4/ MKP Capital * Trading on macro economic factors* Size: $3 billion * Founded in 1995 * Key trade: Short Hong Kong's Hang Seng indexMichael Hume, head of strategy and research at MKP Capital, suggests taking a bet against Hong Kong stocks."You would need to get the timing right. Because at the moment, markets are still living off of the reopening in China," Hume said.Once this is priced in, stock prices could fall in sympathy with the exchange rates. "The catalyst for the trade could be a renewal of concerns over China lending support to Russia in its war against Ukraine or any new potential worries over the situation in Taiwan," said Hume. While "risk flare ups" could serve for short term trades, he believes there is a broader trend. Graphic: Hang Seng v its fear gauge - 5/MODULAR ASSET MANAGEMENT*Actively managed pan-Asia macroeconomic fund *Size: $1 billion *Founded in 2020*Key trade: long Singapore dollar versus short Chinese yuan Jimmy Lim, chief investment officer of Modular Asset Management, said higher U.S-China tensions would likely lead to a weaker Chinese currency and the easiest way to trade this would be to take a short position, essentially a bet on price weakness, against China's yuan. To add to that, Lim would buy a South Asian currency, such as the Singapore dollar, which could benefit from U.S./Chinese decoupling.To hedge political risks, Lim said the fund could use derivatives including options or swaps.For long-term opportunities, Lim pointed to Southeast Asia."Supply chains are already shifting to Penang, and they are receiving investment from both China and the U.S. This is very positive for Malaysia's current account going forward," he said.

At the same time, the drop in yields has so far been a boon for equities, especially tech and other large growth stocks whose relatively strong performance helped support the benchmark S&P 500 . The index finished up 1.4% for the week, with strength in technology stocks outweighing sharp declines in bank shares.While the banking crisis has stirred recession fears, "it's the interest rate move that's a ... tailwind for stocks right now," said Charlie McElligott, managing director of cross-asset macro strategy at Nomura.The near-term trajectory of yields will likely hinge on next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Signs that the central bank may prioritize financial stability and slow or pause its rate increases could pull yields even lower. Conversely, yields could rebound if the Fed signals that bringing down inflation - which remains high despite a barrage of rate increases - will continue to be job one."The market is not quite sure how the Fed is going to look at this," said Garrett Melson, portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions.For now, futures markets indicate that investors are assigning a 60% probability of a 25 basis point rate increase at the Fed's March 21-22 meeting, with rate cuts to follow later in the year - a sharp turnaround from the hawkish expectations that prevailed earlier this month."For the first time during this Fed tightening cycle, the Fed now has to balance its inflation-fighting credibility with financial market stability," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors.Treasury yields fell to historic lows after the Fed cut rates to support the economy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, fueling a stock market rally that saw the S&P 500 double from its March 2020 trough at one point.As the Fed began tightening monetary policy a year ago to fight inflation, Treasury yields began to rise, offering investors an increasingly attractive alternative to equities. Two-year yields, which recently stood at 3.85%, hit an over 15-year high of 5.08% earlier this month. The recent drop in rates has helped stocks regain their appeal, according to some metrics. The equity risk premium, or the extra return investors expect to receive for holding stocks over risk-free government bonds, has rebounded to where it stood in early January but still remains near its lowest level in over a decade, according to Refinitiv data.Other metrics show stocks remain expensive by historical standards. The S&P 500 trades at 17.5 times forward earnings estimates compared to its historic average P/E of 15.6 times, according to Refinitiv Datastream.The rally in interest-rate sensitive areas such as tech stocks appears to signal that the market expects rates to continue to fall as a widely feared recession nears, Nomura's McElligott said.The S&P 500 information technology sector and communication services sector rose over 5% and nearly 7%, respectively, for the week, buoyed by strong gains in megacap stocks Microsoft Corp and Google parent Alphabet Inc.Some investors, however, are skeptical of stock valuations. Bob Kalman, senior portfolio manager at Miramar Capital, said the Nasdaq 100 should trade at no more than 25 times forward earnings given current interest rates, below its current 27.3."People have this muscle memory to buy mega-cap tech whenever they get nervous," Kalman said. "But the Fed hasn't backed off its rhetoric that they know they must overshoot because inflation is a much larger concern in the economy than a couple of bank failures."

The gatekeepers - companies that control data and platform access - are subject to a list of do's, such as making their messaging services interoperable, and don'ts, including not favouring their products and services on their platforms.The list of gatekeepers to which the DMA will apply is due to be announced on Sept. 6 and will likely include Alphabet's Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.Those disagreeing with the label and requirements are likely to take their complaint to the Luxembourg-based General Court within months, its president Marc van der Woude said. The General Court is part of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and deals with cases ranging from competition law to trade and the environment. "Probably the end of this year, beginning of next year we might see the first cases and I don't think it will stop," he told a conference organised by the European Commission.Some, like Google and Apple, have lobbied intensively against the DMA. "We remain concerned that some provisions of the DMA will create unnecessary privacy and security vulnerabilities for our users while others will prohibit us from charging for intellectual property in which we invest a great deal," it said in March 2022.Google has echoed those sentiments, and said it was also concerned that the new rules could reduce innovation.But van der Woude said the DMA was still evolving. "It's a living organism, this DMA, it's under constant review, obligations will be reviewed and implementing acts. So if I might call it like this, it will be a lawyer's paradise," he said.He said areas of dispute will likely focus on the gatekeeper designation, specifications of their obligations and during enforcement of the DMA.A contentious area is likely to be the requirement on gatekeepers to notify their acquisitions to the Commission and whether such deals meet the threshold for regulatory scrutiny, van der Woude said.($1 = 0.9403 euros) (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)By Foo Yun Chee \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/GOOGL/2023.03.17/YouTube restores Donald Trump's channel.txt b/news/GOOGL/2023.03.17/YouTube restores Donald Trump's channel.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..cb164c2680fad5e5fbea1e708724ecc2e3258f70 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/GOOGL/2023.03.17/YouTube restores Donald Trump's channel.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ + (Reporting by Shubham Kalia in Bengaluru; Editing by Krishna Chandra Eluri) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/GOOGL/2023.03.20/Google denies destroying 'chat' evidence in U.S. antitrust lawsuit.txt b/news/GOOGL/2023.03.20/Google denies destroying 'chat' evidence in U.S. antitrust lawsuit.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..909f4602d3034e3fa4db13e11ac67eebb4c57062 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/GOOGL/2023.03.20/Google denies destroying 'chat' evidence in U.S. antitrust lawsuit.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +The Justice Department last month alleged Google failed to preserve certain internal corporate "chat" communications.

High-risk tools won't be banned, but will require companies to be highly transparent in their operations.But these debates have left little room for addressing aggressively expanding generative AI technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion that have swept across the globe, courting both user fascination and controversy. By February, ChatGPT, made by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, set a record for the fastest growing user base of any consumer application app in history.Almost all of the big tech players have stakes in the sector, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta.BIG TECH, BIG PROBLEMSThe EU discussions have raised concerns for companies -- from small startups to Big Tech -- on how regulations might affect their business and whether they would be at a competitive disadvantage against rivals from other continents.Behind the scenes, Big Tech companies, who have invested billions of dollars in the new technology, have lobbied hard to keep their innovations outside the ambit of the high-risk clarification that would mean more compliance, more costs and more accountability around their products, sources said.A recent survey by industry body appliedAI showed that 51% of the respondents expect a slowdown of AI development activities as a result of the AI Act.To address tools like ChatGPT, which have seemingly endless applications, lawmakers introduced yet another category, "General Purpose AI Systems" (GPAIS), to describe tools that can be adapted to perform a number of functions. It remains unclear if all GPAIS will be deemed high-risk.Representatives from tech companies have pushed back against such moves, insisting their own in-house guidelines are robust enough to ensure the technology is deployed safely, and even suggesting the Act should have an opt-in clause, under which firms can decide for themselves whether the regulations apply.DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD?Google-owned AI firm DeepMind, which is currently testing its own AI chatbot Sparrow, told Reuters the regulation of multi-purpose systems was complex."We believe the creation of a governance framework around GPAIS needs to be an inclusive process, which means all affected communities and civil society should be involved," said Alexandra Belias, the firm's head of international public policy.She added: "The question here is: how do we make sure the risk-management framework we create today will still be adequate tomorrow?"Daniel Ek, chief executive of audio streaming platform Spotify - which recently launched its own "AI DJ", capable of curating personalised playlists - told Reuters the technology was "a double-edged sword"."There's lots of things that we have to take into account," he said. "Our team is working very actively with regulators, trying to make sure that this technology benefits as many as possible and is as safe as possible."MEPs say the Act will be subject to regular reviews, allowing for updates as and when new issues with AI emerge. But, with European elections on the horizon in 2024, they are under pressure to deliver something substantial the first time around."Discussions must not be rushed, and compromises must not be made just so the file can be closed before the end of the year," said Leufer. "People's rights are at stake."

It comes with a $1 million prize thanks to backing from Alphabet Inc's Google.The Ethernet got its start when Metcalfe, who later went on to co-found computing network equipment maker 3Com, was asked to hook up the office printer.In the early 1970s, he worked at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center, which had invented the personal computer and also a laser printer. Metcalfe sketched out a networking approach that would excel at connecting them together in way that could expand smoothly as the number of computers in the network rose - which helped pave the way for the internet.Metcalfe, who graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1969 and earned a doctorate in computer science from Harvard in 1973, told Reuters in an interview that there is still much research to be done in connecting computers, especially in artificial intelligence. Metcalfe said previous generations of AI "died on the vine because of a lack of data." That is no longer a problem thanks to the billion-plus people generating data by using the internet, but the challenge now is to better connect the computers that process that data through artificial neural networks.Those networks loosely approximate the human brain, except that in a human brain, neurons have more than 10,000 connections each, while their artificial counterparts have far fewer."You can either increase the compute power of the neurons, or you can connect them better. And the brain teaches us that connecting them is where it's at," Metcalfe said.

In that period, the S&P 500 has fallen 0.5%. Megagaps are attracting bets because of strong balance sheets, robust profit margins and business models expected to hold up better if recession hits, investors said. A recent pullback in U.S. bond yields, whose ascent punished growth stocks last year, is also buoying their prices in 2023. But their strength could have drawbacks. Megacaps' growing market capitalization means indexes such as the S&P 500 are increasingly driven by a smaller cluster of stocks. That could spur volatility in broader markets if circumstances change and investors make a quick exit from big tech and growth names."The view from investors is that technology companies are in a better place to get through an uncertain period of time," said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, which is overweight the tech sector. However, "when you have crowding you could see a sharp reversal out of nowhere because everyone is in the same area."Strength in megacaps also cloaks weakness elsewhere. Measures of market breadth have turned more negative, while the equal-weighted S&P 500, a proxy for the average stock in the benchmark index, is down over 5% since March.Investors are bracing for more banking sector volatility next week, after sharp declines in shares of European giants Deutsche Bank and UBS on Friday followed the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier this month. Upcoming U.S. data on consumer confidence and inflation could also sway markets.Megacaps led the U.S. market in the decade following the financial crisis and spearheaded Wall Street's blistering rebound after the selloff in early 2020 fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. But they tumbled last year, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight 40-year high inflation.Their rebound this year accelerated as concerns over the banking system spiked, and the combined weight of Apple and Microsoft in the S&P 500 recently topped 13%. That was the highest in over 30 years for any top two stocks in the index, according to Todd Sohn, technical strategist at Strategas.The weight of the top five S&P 500 companies has rebounded to 21.7% from 18.8% for the top five stocks at the end of 2022. As megacaps have rallied, some indicators of breadth, which technical analysts view as gauges of broad market health, have darkened recently. The number of new 52-week lows on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was on pace to eclipse new highs for three straight weeks, a reversal after new highs had topped new lows almost every week to start 2023, according to Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Hi Mount Research.Further, the percentage of industry groups tracked by Delwiche above their 10-week moving averages has plummeted from 87% in early February to 7% in the latest week."After some hopeful signs earlier this year, it's evidence that the pattern of weakness beneath the surface that we saw last year is re-emerging," Delwiche said. "We need to see better participation if the indexes are going to be able to sustain the next leg higher."The performance of megacaps could suffer if banking worries ease and investors scoop up economically sensitive stocks that have struggled. The S&P 500 energy sector is down 7.5% since March 8, while the industrials sector is off 5%.A rebound in U.S. bond yields could pressure tech and growth stocks. Earnings growth in the tech sector, meanwhile, is expected to trail the overall S&P 500 in 2023.Nevertheless, some investors are bullish on megacap stocks. Despite last year's market swoon, "our bias has been that we think we are still in ... an up trend," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments, who is overweight many megacaps.

Dust aims to build AI tools that improve white-collar workers' productivity.Alphabet Inc and Microsoft Corp's rapid push on AI and the billions of dollars they are spending to gain an edge have heightened competition in Silicon Valley.

Such technology can create virtually any text, image or other content on command after having trained on the inputs of past data."VCs think this is the new internet," a generative AI founder in the United States told Reuters.Investment in such startups has ballooned to $5.9 billion since the beginning of 2022, up from $1.5 billion in 2020, according to data from PitchBook. While the closure of Silicon Valley Bank may hamper debt financing, venture capitalists said interest in funding AI startups remains high, especially for top early-stage founders.Samir Kaul, a founding partner at Khosla Ventures, itself an early backer of OpenAI, said the firm is receiving way more generative AI pitches than just six months ago."Now you are getting this herd mentality" among venture capitalists, said Kaul. That means lackluster companies "will get funded," then "fail and give the entire sector, which is very promising, a black eye."ChatGPT set off massive investment because "ninety-plus percent of venture capitalists are actually very risk averse. Until you see a real application, people don't really dive in," he said.COMPETING OFFERSChatGPT's human-like responses to any query made observers predict AI could disrupt search-engine technology, along with Google's market dominance. Two months after its launch, Microsoft upgraded its search competitor Bing with a chatbot powered by OpenAI's technology.Investors sense opportunity, even for a sale if not an initial public offering; some are betting that AI startups might outpace bigger rivals, encumbered by their size.You.com, a search engine company founded in 2020 and backed by Salesforce's CEO Marc Benioff, has found new life from incorporating generative AI technology. It has attracted more attention from users and investors, handling millions of searches per day, the company told Reuters.Jordan Jacobs, managing partner at Radical Ventures and investor in You.com, said the upstart was "an example of the right people with the right technology and opportunity, that can disrupt even the most successful business models in the world."Productivity tools including writing assistants such as Jasper and Regie.ai likewise have drawn millions of dollars in funding. These companies won business helping blog writers and salespeople do their jobs faster. But now, Big Tech has previewed upgrades for Google Docs and Microsoft Word that can draft marketing copy.How Jasper and Regie.ai will fare once such rival tools roll out remains unclear. Regie.ai's CEO earlier told Reuters that its in-house expertise and sales focus set it up well, while a Jasper vice president said its AI that creates on-brand content across platforms distinguished it.In such head-on competition, investors are looking for any technical advantage that could make a startup challenger stand out. Magic, a software engineering tool that can help write and edit code, is building its own specialized AI and user interface, for instance, said Jill Chase, partner at CapitalG who led its funding round.

After connecting with +100 investors on the road following our 2023 Outlook, we've compiled the most Frequently Asked Investor Questions (FAIQ) from those discussions. We hope you find this helpful. As always, we appreciate your interest in Honeywell and welcome your questions. + + + Sean + + +Sean C. Meakim, CFA +Vice President, Investor Relations +Honeywell International + + +What are the key messages you've been communicating to investors to start the year? + + +Honeywell is well-positioned, both near- and long-term, to create value for our shareholders through our leadership in automation, sustainability, and digitalization. + + + + We remain fully committed to delivering on our accelerated growth algorithm that we outlined at last March's Investor Day, which is underpinned by our digital and ISC transformations, innovation pipeline, and Accelerator operating system. Honeywell offers a compelling combination of sales growth and margin enhancement to drive through-cycle shareholder value. + + + Our robust balance sheet presents further growth opportunities through accelerated capital deployment (committed to $25B+ between 2022 - 2024, with ~$8B deployed in 2022). + + + In 2023, we expect to grow sales, expand segment margin, and increase earnings per share despite the macroeconomic environment. Record backlog of ~$30B provides good visibility, with sales coverage of 81% (based on the midpoint of our 2023 guide), up from an average 72% of initial guidance from 2019 - 2022. + + +We continue to lead in ESG through both our own internal commitments (carbon neutral by 2035; addressing emissions across entire value chain) and helping customers deliver on theirs (e.g., ExxonMobil carbon capture win). + + + +What is your outlook for 2023 and key guidance metrics for investors? + + + In 2023, we expect sales of $36B - $37B, representing 2% - 5% organic sales growth over 2022. Growth should be more balanced between volume and price in 2023, with stronger growth in 2H23 v. 1H23 as supply chains heal sequentially through the year. + + + For segment margin, we expect 50 - 90 bps of expansion year over year to a range of 22.2% - 22.6%, driven by improved volume leverage, continued commercial excellence, and the benefits of ongoing programs of ISC transformation / digitalization and Honeywell Digital. These programs have generated over $2.5B in gross margin, productivity, and working capital benefits since inception and will continue to generate significant benefits in the future. + + + These assumptions translate into an adjusted EPS guidance range of $8.80 - $9.20, which is flat-to-up 5% year over year (or $9.35 - $9.75 excluding the impact of non-cash pension headwind, up 7% - 11%). + + + Finally, we expect free cash flow of $3.9B - $4.3B, or $5.1B - $5.5B when excluding the $1.2B one-time net impact of NARCO, HWI, and UOP Matters. For more on these one-time impacts to FCF, please see our January IR Insights update. + + + +What does your guidance imply for organic volume growth in 2023? How does that compare to 2022's results? What are the drivers across your portfolio? + + + Within our 2% - 5% organic sales growth range, we assume increased price of ~4% compared to 2022, implying volumes hovering around flat year over year. However, there are some divergent trends across the portfolio that are worth unpacking to get the full picture. Our guidance assumes sales growth in three of our four SBGs (Aero, HBT, and PMT), with SPS the lone decliner (down MSD - HSD), primarily reflecting the impact of troughing activity levels in our long-cycle warehouse automation business following the pandemic boom in 2020 - 2021. Excluding SPS, the balance Honeywell portfolio implies an organic sales growth range of MSD - HSD, including LSD volume growth. + + + + We have consistently delivered on our organic growth commitments as a result of our technological differentiation, averaging 5% organic growth from 2017 - 2022 (excluding COVID-impacted 2020). + + + +How have orders trended recently? How much sales coverage does your backlog afford in 2023 and what level of inbound is required to meet your organic sales guide? + + + Similar to many other industrial companies, Honeywell experienced some slowdown in short cycle orders in 2H22 as customers in some end markets became more concerned about the economic outlook. We expect this dynamic to continue into 1H23, and it is reflected in our 2023 guidance. Yet demand remains robust across much of our portfolio, led by Aerospace, and we expect our book-to-bill to remain at or above 1x in 2023. + + + Further, we enter 2023 with backlog still at record levels, providing considerable coverage across even our short-cycle businesses. + + +How much risk is in the 2023 expectation of ~4% price? Does less pricing gain in 2023 v. 2022 imply greater risk to margin expansion? + + + Historically, our pricing across the portfolio has proven durable, reflecting the differentiation of our technology and solutions to our customers. Since 2005, we have averaged ~1.5% price per year, with only one recorded year of price decline (2015 at -1%). In addition, our high NPI vitality (+1100 bps over the past half-decade to 32% of revenue in 2022) has not only invigorated organic growth, but also enables an increasing share of the revenue base to come from new products which offer accretive margins. + + + While our ~4% guidance for 2023 price improvement is a deceleration from last year's exceptional performance in the face of outsized inflation, volume growth should improve thanks to easing supply chain, unlocking more of our backlog. We are still in the early innings of extracting value from our investments in Honeywell Digital, which has greatly enhanced our ability to take targeted actions to drive optimized economic outcomes across our broad portfolio. We expect further enhancements to be value accretive in 2023, building on the $1.7B of gross margin, productivity, and working capital benefits we have garnered from Honeywell Digital since 2018. + + + +Honeywell is guiding an acceleration in Aerospace sales in 2023: how much supply chain improvement is expected? What are the underlying end market assumptions of that growth, including in defense and space? + + + Honeywell expects to grow our Aerospace segment between high-single and low-double digits in 2023 as continued moderate improvement in our supply chain's capability leads to greater output. Supply of critical mechanical components remains constrained due to skilled labor shortages among the tier 3 and 4 suppliers, but our team was able to deliver 7% output growth in 2022, including 15% output gain in 4Q22, indicative of the gathering momentum. + + + Within Aero, we expect robust commercial sales growth in the mid-to-high teens with particular strength in air transport, both in aftermarket and original equipment. The reopening of China (which should have a positive impact across a number of our businesses) should be a catalyst for greater international travel, a boost to widebody flight hours. For commercial OE, build rates are trending upward, allowing for increased shipset deliveries. Although Defense and Space is likely to grow low-single digits in 2023, this marks a turning point for the business thanks to firming demand throughout 2022 (book-to-bill > 1x) and improved supply of components during 2023. + + + With robust demand, a record backlog, and improving supply conditions, we remain confident in multi-year significant growth in Aero for both sales and margin. + + +Given the growth outlook, why are Aero margins expected to be flat-to-up in 2023? Is Honeywell committed to its long-term Aero segment margin target of 29%? + + + We have delivered steady improvement in margins over the past decade-plus and see a clear path to reach our Aero segment margin target of 29% while investing for the future. Given some of the challenges the commercial OEMs have faced delivering planes in the past few years, we expect a transitory imbalance between the cadence of new unit deliveries by the OEMs relative to our shipsets, which also means a corresponding mismatch between timing of selection credits and our OE sales volumes. This will lead to near-term headwinds to Aero margins, with the ultimate timing dependent on the cadence of OEM deliveries. However, the volume leverage we expect in 2023 combined with strong aftermarket sales can more than offset the headwind. We expect Aero margins to increase modestly over 2022. + + +HBT deceleration in guidance looks worse than some comparable companies in the non-resi construction market, what is the disconnect? + + + Honeywell Building Technologies was our fastest growing SBG in 2022 (+14% organic v. 2021), despite significant supply chain constraints related to shortages of critical semiconductor chips, demonstrating the differentiation of our technology and the value customers place on our solutions. Order rates spiked for HBT in 1H22 at the peak of supply shortages and customers offered much greater visibility for demand than historical levels. As the supply challenges have eased (HBT improved its organic volume every quarter in 2022), customer demand patterns are normalizing as well. + + + For 2023, we expect more balance between volume and price as supply normalizes further. Compared to peer companies in the non-resi market we have less project mix, which is favorable to our profitability, but offers less long-cycle mix when demand for product sales slows. We continue to see strong demand in several markets, particularly in high growth regions, where sustainability demand is outstripping that of developed ones. Through-cycle, we remain committed to our targets of mid-single to high-single digit organic sales growth and segment profit margin of 25%. + + +PMT guidance implies a slight slowdown YoY, isn't the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act a tailwind for PMT? + + + Our initial guidance for PMT's 2023 organic sales is mid-single digit growth v. 2022, which is consistent with our first cut at guidance for PMT last year. While PMT was able to ultimately deliver 11% organic sales last year, we don't expect the environment to be as conducive to price in 2023, leading to greater balance between volume and price. We expect organic sales growth and margin expansion in each of our three strategic business units (SBUs) within PMT compared to 2022. + + + We believe the government incentives embedded in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) will be a significant boost to several parts of the Honeywell portfolio, not least our Sustainable Technology Solutions unit. The path from legislation to project awards and eventually sales for Honeywell is often multi-year, but while the impact of the IRA is limited in our 2023 guidance, we have reached several important milestones including customer wins and partnerships in carbon capture (XOM to deploy HON carbon capture technology; Johnson Matthey and HON partnership) and new product introductions in renewable fuels (HON ethanol-to-jet fuel technology). We believe continued investments to sustain hydrocarbon supply will offer growth through least the early part of the next decade, by which time our sustainable technology solutions offerings will be a multi-billion-dollar business. + + + As we approach the middle part of the decade, incremental legislation such as the IRA incentivizing decarbonization only further underscores our growth targets for PMT laid out at our March 2022 Investor Day: mid-single to high-single digit organic sales growth and 25% segment profit margin. + + +SPS sales are expected to decline again in 2023, yet you've guided for the segment to have the largest margin expansion of the group: what is driving this shift and what are the implications for segment profit? + + + Our Safety and Productivity Solutions segment sales declined -9% organically in 2022, led by weakness in our long-cycle warehouse automation (Intelligrated) business (and a sharp decrease in demand for COVID-19 masks in our Safety unit). These lost sales were partially offset by growth in our businesses such as Productivity Solutions and Services and Sensing, both accretive to overall SPS margins, thus providing a positive mix benefit. Coupled with productivity actions taken later in 2022, SPS expanded margins by 240 bps to 15.6%. + + + We expect a similar dynamic in 2023, as Intelligrated install sales trough, particularly given the concentration of business with one significant customer. However, the reduction in sales is enabling substantial diversification in our customer base, allowing for an enhanced margin profile mid- to long-term. Continued strong (double-digit) growth in Intelligrated's aftermarket business drives further positive mix for margin. We expect continued growth in Sensing and Safety Technologies, and while PSS could be impacted by short-cycle demand softness and distributor destocking in 1H23, we expect sequential improvement in the second half of 2023. Overall, SPS will benefit from a full year of 2022's productivity actions, and we see scope for the business to generate segment profit growth despite the top line headwind. We expect SPS to once again be our greatest margin expander in 2023. + + + As transitory demand headwinds dissipate, we expect SPS sales growth to migrate towards the high-single digit range we outlined in last year's investor day, and with a 20% highwater mark achieved in 4Q22, we remain confident the business can sustainably deliver targeted 18% - 20% segment margin in the long term. + + +How is your software business performing? How does software's growth profile compare to the portfolio overall? + + + Growth across our portfolio continues to be supported by accretive results in Honeywell Connected Enterprise. In 2022, HCE sales and profit both grew by double digits, including over 20% growth in our recurring and SaaS business, an indicator of the power of a strong software franchise. Last quarter, Cyber, Sparta Systems, and Connected Buildings all grew by more than 35% year over year. + + + Looking ahead, we are excited to deliver new solutions to customers following the 15 new products launched at the Fall 2022 HCE Connect. The launch included the new Honeywell Forge Performance+ for Industrials, a cloud-native Asset Performance solution that brings scalable and more secure advanced asset health monitoring, predictive analytics, and process optimization to help organizations operate more efficiently. As HCE's new product introductions accelerate, we expect its accretive growth (both top line and margin) to be sustainable going forward, further underpinning our growth algorithm. + + +How are you tracking to your +$25B of capital deployment target? You've emphasized M&A is likely to get a bigger portion of capital, how would you characterize your plans there? How do share repurchases fit into the calculation? + + + Honeywell deployed ~$8B in capital in 2022 across capex, dividends, M&A, and share repurchases, with over half ($4.2B) allocated to buying back our shares. Thus, we remain on track for our commitment to deploy at least $25B between 2022 - 2024. As we've outlined in several presentations over the past year, Honeywell is exiting a period of intense internal focus on transformation (both supply chain and digitalization). As the organizational capacity consumed by these efforts starts to recede and our confidence in our Accelerator operating model to derive value increases, we believe portfolio optimization will increasingly include a more consistent pattern of acquisitions. The external environment also appears more favorable to strategic buyers such as Honeywell for the first time in several years. + + + Honeywell remains focused on bolt-on acquisitions which are aligned with megatrends, technologically differentiated, and offer levers for improvement for growth and profitability. We remain agnostic across our businesses for additions. One of our most recent acquisitions, Sparta, is continuing to perform very well, growing sales over 45% in 2022, expanding margin significantly, and becoming GAAP EPS accretive in year two after being acquired. + + + While M&A is taking a larger portion of our organizational focus, we remain opportunistic on executing share repurchases (historically our second-best return option for capital deployment after organic investment). We maintain our commitment to reduce our share count by at least 1% annually and will remain vigilant looking for chances to accelerate our efforts. + + +About Honeywell + + +Honeywell (www.honeywell.com) delivers industry specific solutions that include aerospace products and services; control technologies for buildings and industry; and performance materials globally.

Honeywell's non-GAAP financial measures used in this publication are as follows: + + + +Segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis; + + +Segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis; + + +Expansion in segment profit margin percentage; + + +Organic sales growth; + + +Free cash flow; + + +Free cash flow excluding impact of settlements; + + +Adjusted earnings per share; and + + +Adjusted earnings per share excluding pension headwind. + + + +Management believes that, when considered together with reported amounts, these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in the analysis of ongoing operating trends. These metrics should be considered in addition to, and not as replacements for, the most comparable GAAP measure. Certain metrics presented on a non-GAAP basis represent the impact of adjusting items net of tax. The tax-effect for adjusting items is determined individually and on a case-by-case basis. Included below are reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Other companies may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently, limiting the usefulness of these measures for comparative purposes. + + +Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitations of these non-GAAP financial measures are that they exclude significant expenses and income that are required by GAAP to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. Investors are urged to review the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Honeywell's business. + + +Reconciliation of Operating Income to Segment Profit and Calculation of Segment Profit and Operating Income Margins + + + + (1) Included in Selling, general and administrative expenses. + (2) Includes repositioning, asbestos, environmental expenses, equity income adjustment, and other charges. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, other charges include an expense of $250 million related to reserves against outstanding accounts receivables, contract assets, and inventory, as well as the write-down of other assets and employee severance related to the initial suspension and wind down of our businesses and operations in Russia. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, other charges include $41 million and $105 million, respectively, of incremental long-term contract labor cost inefficiencies due to severe supply chain disruptions (attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic) relating to the warehouse automation business within the Safety and Productivity Solutions segment. These costs include incurred amounts and provisions for anticipated losses recognized when total estimated costs at completion for certain of the business' long-term contracts exceeded total estimated revenue. These certain costs represent unproductive labor costs due to unexpected supplier delays and the resulting downstream installation issues, demobilization and remobilization of contract workers, and resolution of contractor disputes. + (3) Included in Cost of products and services sold, Selling, general and administrative expenses, and Other income/expense. + (4) Included in Cost of products and services sold and Selling, general and administrative expenses. + + + We define segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, as operating income, excluding stock compensation expense, pension and other postretirement service costs, and repositioning and other charges. We define segment profit margin, on an overall Honeywell basis, as segment profit divided by net sales. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. + + + A quantitative reconciliation of segment profit, on an overall Honeywell basis, to operating income has not been provided for all forward-looking measures of segment profit margin, segment margin, and expansion in segment profit margin expansion included herein. Management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the impact and timing on future operating results arising from items excluded from segment profit, particularly pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. The information that is unavailable to provide a quantitative reconciliation could have a significant impact on our reported financial results. To the extent quantitative information becomes available without unreasonable effort in the future, and closer to the period to which the forward-looking measures pertain, a reconciliation of segment profit to operating income will be included within future filings. + + +Reconciliation of Honeywell Organic Sales % Change + + +Reconciliation of Reportable Business Segments Organic Sales % Change + + + We define organic sales percentage as the year-over-year change in reported sales relative to the comparable period, excluding the impact on sales from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, net of divestitures, for the first 12 months following the transaction date. We believe these measures are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. + + + A quantitative reconciliation of reported sales percent change to organic sales percent change has not been provided for forward-looking measures of organic sales percent change because management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the fluctuations in global currency markets that impact foreign currency translation, nor is it reasonable for management to predict the timing, occurrence and impact of acquisition and divestiture transactions, all of which could significantly impact our reported sales percent change. + + +Reconciliation of EPS to Adjusted EPS and Adjusted EPS Excluding Pension Headwind + + + (1) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, adjusted earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 683.1 million. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, expected earnings per share utilizes weighted average shares of approximately 672 million. + (2) Pension mark-to-market expense uses a blended tax rate of 16%, net of tax expense of $83 million, in 2022. + (3) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the adjustment was an expense of $45 million, without tax benefit, due to an expense related to UOP matters. + (4) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the adjustment was $297 million, including a tax valuation allowance benefit of $2 million, to exclude charges and the accrual of reserves related to outstanding accounts receivable and contract assets, impairment of intangible assets, foreign exchange revaluation, inventory reserves, the write-down of other assets, impairment of property, plant and equipment, employee severance, and called guarantees related to the initial suspension and wind down of our businesses and operations in Russia. + (5) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the adjustment was $22 million, without tax benefit, due to the gain on sale of a Russian entities. + (6) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, the adjustment was $260 million, net of tax expense of $82 million, due to the net expense related to the NARCO Buyout and HWI Sale. + (7) For the twelve months ended December 31, 2023, the adjustments are the forecasted decline of approximately $375 million of pension ongoing income between the comparable period of 2022 and 2023, net of estimated tax expense of approximately $105 million. + + + We define adjusted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share adjusted to exclude various charges as listed above. We define adjusted earnings per share excluding pension headwind as adjusted earnings per share adjusted for a forecasted decline of pension ongoing income between 2022 and 2023. We believe adjusted earnings per share and adjusted earnings per share excluding pension headwind are measures that are useful to investors and management in understanding our ongoing operations and in analysis of ongoing operating trends. For forward looking information, management cannot reliably predict or estimate, without unreasonable effort, the pension mark-to-market expense as it is dependent on macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and the return generated on invested pension plan assets. We therefore do not include an estimate for the pension mark-to-market expense. Based on economic and industry conditions, future developments, and other relevant factors, these assumptions are subject to change. + + +Reconciliation of Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow to Free Cash Flow Excluding Impact of Settlements + + + + We define free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less cash expenditures for property, plant and equipment plus anticipated cash receipts from Garrett. We define free cash flow excluding impact of settlements as free cash flow less settlements related to the NARCO Buyout, HWI Sale, and UOP Matters. + + + We believe that free cash flow and free cash flow excluding impact of settlements are non-GAAP metrics that are useful to investors and management as a measure of cash generated by operations that will be used to repay scheduled debt maturities and can be used to invest in future growth through new business development activities or acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase stock, or repay debt obligations prior to their maturities. These metrics can also be used to evaluate our ability to generate cash flow from operations and the impact that this cash flow has on our liquidity. + + +Attachments + + + Original Link + + + Original Document + + + Permalink + + + + +Disclaimer +Honeywell International Inc. published this content on 07 March 2023 and is solely responsible for the information contained therein.

WHAT IT DOES AND WHO OWNS IT:The MQ-9 "Reaper" unmanned aerial vehicle can loiter at up to 50,000 feet for more than 27 hours, gathering intelligence with sophisticated cameras, sensors and radars. It has a 66 foot wingspan, a Honeywell engine, can carry 3,900 pounds of fuel and travel at a speed of 240 knots 'true air speed'.The Reaper, which was delivered to the Air Force 16 years ago, can also be equipped with weapons such as air-to-ground missiles. MQ-9s have also been purchased by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, NASA, UK Royal Air Force, the Italian Air Force, the French Air Force and the Spanish Air Force. WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF DRONES?Drones are generally less expensive than manned aircraft with similar capabilities, and are safer for operators since they do not require a pilot. Unlike most other aircraft, drones can loiter for hours gathering intelligence material. They cost about $3,500 per flight hour, compared to about $8,000 per flight hour to operate, for example, an F-16, according to General Atomics.According to the Air Force, for $56.5 million they can purchase four MQ-9 aircraft with sensors, ground control station and a satellite link.CAN AN MQ-9 DEFEND ITSELF?General Atomics says the MQ-9 has "demonstrated an air-to-air weapons capability" in Air Force tests. It can also be equipped with a "Self Protect Pod" that can detect threats and deploy countermeasures against surface-to-air weapons.

He created our industrial software business, as well as architected and executed our differentiated value creation framework, including transformational strategies in digitalization, integrated supply chain, breakthrough innovation, enhanced SaaS offerings and ESG,' said Scott Davis, Honeywell's Lead Director. 'Under Darius' leadership, the strong portfolio, processes and culture that Darius and his team have put in place have taken Honeywell's performance standards to a new level. Our performance has consistently outperformed the markets, and we are well-positioned for growth acceleration with strong macro tailwinds in our core end markets and accretive gains from incremental breakthrough initiatives. Our heritage of innovation in sustainability solutions is a strength that sets Honeywell apart.''We have been extremely pleased with the thoughtful leadership transition planning and execution undertaken by our board in the past. We deployed a similar playbook to ensure rigorous planning and development for this important transition,' said Davis. 'Our selection of Vimal to succeed Darius is a tribute to Darius' success as Chairman and CEO. We wanted to appoint a successor capable of building on the strong foundation Darius has built, while taking Honeywell to the next level of out-performance over the long run. In Vimal, we have a proven leader who can enhance Honeywell's growth rate and operational excellence and drive Honeywell to be the leader in industrial software and sustainability solutions. Darius and Vimal work exceedingly well together, and we are confident the transition will be seamless. As Executive Chairman, Darius will continue to play a vital role in direct engagement with customers, business development opportunities and leadership development. Vimal has exhibited the key leadership qualities and operational expertise that will allow him to thrive as Honeywell's next CEO, and Darius and the Board will do everything possible to support Vimal's success.'In his role as Executive Chairman, Adamczyk will be focused primarily on supporting customer relationships, business development, enterprise strategic planning, shaping the portfolio and global government relations.Honeywell also announced today that Doug Wright, President and CEO of HBT, will leave the company to pursue another opportunity.

"We are convinced that at least three shareholder representatives are needed on Illumina's board to attempt to put an end to this insanity now before the reckless decision making escalates into a no-return situation," Icahn wrote in the letter, according to the WSJ.

The high-performance, long-read, human whole-genome sequencing (WGS) assay – Illumina Complete Long Read Prep, Human – is compatible with Illumina NovaSeq X Plus, NovaSeq X, and NovaSeq 6000 Sequencing Systems. For the first time ever, it offers users access to both long- and short-read data on the same Illumina instrument. Illumina Complete Long Reads enables a simpler workflow with drastically reduced DNA input requirements compared to other long-read offerings. + + + + + + + +"Illumina Complete Long Reads is more convenient than other long-read technologies. We can prepare long-read libraries with low DNA input and without many of the required materials and equipment needed for other technologies," said HyungIl Lee, head of NGS Department at Macrogen. +Seeing more of the most challenging genic regions +A small fraction of genic regions benefit from longer read lengths to enable improved resolution and mapping. By enabling access into these hard-to-map areas, Illumina's long-read data provides an additional tool in the advancement of genetic disease testing. This allows the scientific community to advance research by assaying the full breadth of genomic variation at scale to better facilitate discovery in areas of genetic disease research and pharmacogenomics. +Illumina Complete Long Read Prep combines Illumina sequencing by synthesis (SBS) chemistry with DRAGEN secondary analysis to deliver WGS with outstanding accuracy. The price of the Illumina Complete Long Read Prep, Human sequencing assay is inclusive of short- and long-read library prep, sequencing, and cloud analysis. The promotional price for customers is $1,350 USD per whole genome when using NovaSeq X Plus and a 25B flow cell, which will be commercially available later this year. +"Many long-read solutions have been stunted by high DNA input requirements, complex workflows with low throughput, and highly variable results on dedicated long-read instruments," said Alex Aravanis, chief technology officer and head of research and product development at Illumina. "Illumina Complete Long Reads overcomes those pain points and associated costs to make long-read sequencing accessible and streamlined for genomic labs." +Early customer data reinforces accuracy and flexibility +At the Illumina Genomics Forum in September 2022, Aravanis presented preliminary Illumina Complete Long Read performance data against the benchmarking data sets from the PrecisionFDA Truth Challenge v2. Illumina Complete Long Reads with DRAGEN analysis generated an F1 score—a compound statistic of precision and recall—of 99.87%. +Last month at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) conference, early-access customers shared data reinforcing Illumina Complete Long Reads' high accuracy and flexible DNA input, as well as the capabilities that help to reduce cost and operational complexity. +Michael Quail, PhD, principal scientific manager, Sequencing R&D at Wellcome Sanger Institute, said, "The library prep was straightforward, with flexible input requirements. We are impressed with the accuracy of the data, along with the read lengths and phase blocks that can be generated on Illumina sequencers." +Illumina plans to use this technology as a platform for long-read application development. In the second half of 2023, Illumina will launch an enrichment assay, an even more affordable, higher throughput, targeted solution focused on regions known to benefit from additional insight with longer reads. Illumina will explore additional applications beyond WGS and nonhuman samples in the future. +To learn more, visit illumina.com/products/by-brand/complete-long-reads-portfolio.html. +About Illumina +Illumina is improving human health by unlocking the power of the genome.

Illumina is the only profitable, pure-play genomics tools company in existence. This commitment to excellence and successful execution includes profitable, double-digit revenue growth over the past decade. By adding Icahn's director nominees, who lack experience in, and knowledge of, the business and industry, Illumina risks jeopardizing the long-term success of its core franchise which is primed to achieve rich, long-term shareholder returns over the next several years and beyond. +Illumina continues to advance its innovation roadmap in support of its long-term growth trajectory. Since the successful launch of NovaSeq™ X, Illumina's latest flagship high-throughput instrument, there has been unprecedented demand from both research and clinical customers, while the company delivered record NextSeq™ 1000 and 2000 mid-throughput sequencing platform shipments and orders in the fourth quarter of 2022. New product introductions such as NovaSeq™ X as well as upgrades across the rest of the portfolio, including Illumina Complete Long Reads and NovaSeq™ 6000Dx, are game-changing innovations that maintain the company's position as the leading innovator in sequencing and drive long-term sustainable shareholder value. +Over the last two decades, Illumina has maintained leadership in research and clinical genomics. It has built an installed base of more than 23,000 sequencing systems across more than 9,500 customers in 155 countries, as well as secured more than 8,800 patents for its technologies. +While remaining committed to innovation, Illumina's management team also focuses on managing costs, including a restructuring in late 2022. Illumina produces strong gross margins and operating margins, while all other pure-play genomics tools companies generate operating losses. Illumina's share price has outpaced other pure-play genomics tools companies by 26 percentage points over the last two years. +On March 14th during a CNBC appearance, Carl Icahn recognized the "great company in Illumina, and in gene sequencing." On this much, we agree. Illumina has created a unique and positive track record due to its experience identifying, nurturing, and bringing innovation to market. Illumina's world-leading innovation portfolio is the result of deep understanding of biology, the challenges of biological discovery and engineering requiring five to ten year science and technology investments. A short-term approach to managing innovation would not have created the multiple technologies that make NovaSeq™ X a world-leading product, or any other product in Illumina's portfolio. +GRAIL has strong traction; Illumina is taking all steps to maximize GRAIL's value +GRAIL has tremendous long-term value creation potential and is a great example of Illumina's innovation strategy. As a transformative, clinically-validated technology based on Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) and serving an underpenetrated $44-plus billion cancer screening market, GRAIL offers the only commercially available multi-cancer early detection test, Galleri™. The test has enjoyed the fastest first-year revenue ramp of any cancer screening test and generated $55 million of revenue in 2022, even ahead of anticipated commercial or government-based reimbursement. It is on track to deliver $90 – 110 million of revenue in 2023. +To date, more than 60,000 Galleri™ tests have been ordered and have impacted the lives of patients who have had the opportunity to take this groundbreaking test. In the UK, the National Health Service (NHS) has enrolled 140,000 participants in a study of the Galleri™ test. If the study continues to be successful, the NHS is expected to roll out the Galleri™ test to 1 million people in the UK beginning in 2024. +Illumina is moving as quickly as possible to work through the legal and regulatory processes to maximize value for shareholders with respect to GRAIL, including defining the conditions and options of a potential divestiture. Illumina has challenged the European Commission's (EC) jurisdiction to review the GRAIL acquisition. The final decision is expected in late 2023 or early 2024. Winning a jurisdictional appeal eliminates any EC fine and gives the greatest optionality for Illumina to maximize value for shareholders. If Illumina loses the EU jurisdictional appeal, the company will follow the terms of the final divestiture order, expeditiously and in a manner that is in the best interests of its shareholders. The Board's ongoing management of the GRAIL process is carefully considered and informed by thorough analysis. +Icahn does not contest that GRAIL represents a valuable asset to both Illumina's shareholders and global human health. Indeed, on CNBC on March 14th, he referred to GRAIL as Illumina's "best equipment." He also acknowledges he doesn't understand the regulatory process and has not offered any new ideas for a more rapid resolution for GRAIL. As for the EU regulatory process, he admits he's "not a lawyer" and that "[he hasn't] really studied it." Icahn has no ability to accelerate the legal and regulatory processes and neither do his nominees. +Strong independent Board committed to maximizing shareholder value +A company of Illumina's value creation potential requires a Board invested and experienced in creating clinical markets, driving operational excellence, harnessing the power of science, and realizing a vision for future growth. Illumina's Board brings extensive and diverse business, financial, operating, regulatory and scientific backgrounds in the life sciences and technology sectors, and have presided over the growth of biotech companies, run public life sciences and technology companies, and brought world-class products to market. The Board is led by an independent chair and all nine members are independent, except for the CEO. The Board and management team have a proven track record of successfully managing the core business, and a plan to resolve the acquisition of GRAIL expeditiously and in a manner that is in the best interests of Illumina's shareholders. +Illumina's Board of Directors is committed to maximizing value for all shareholders and has always welcomed constructive engagement with the investment community. Illumina's Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee interviewed each of Icahn's nominees and found that they lacked relevant skills and experience. +At this time, shareholders are not required to take any action with respect to Icahn. Illumina will file preliminary materials with respect to the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders in the coming weeks. +Forward Looking StatementsThis communication contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding mandates, the future, business plans and other statements that are not historical in nature.

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment. The company has been working on making it easier for developers to use non-Nvidia chips and in October launched a set of free software tools for AI applications that enable switching back and forth between Nvidia and AMD chips.

A Cisco spokesperson said the ruling reinforces that the PTO's patent review proceedings are "an important vehicle to preserve a balanced patent system, protect innovation, and assure patent quality in the United States."Representatives for the other plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.The PTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board is popular with big tech companies that are often targeted with patent lawsuits and that use the board's "inter partes review" process to contest patents they are accused of infringing. An internal rule that gave the agency's judges greater discretion to deny inter partes review petitions "dramatically reduced access" to the process, the companies told the appeals court.Apple, Google, Cisco, Intel Corp and Edwards Lifesciences Corp sued the PTO in the California federal court in 2020 over the rule. They argued it undermined the role inter partes review plays in "protecting a strong patent system" and violated federal law. Companies including Tesla, Honda, Comcast and Dell filed briefs at the Federal Circuit in support of the plaintiffs.The California court dismissed the case in 2021, citing U.S. Supreme Court rulings that Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions on whether to review inter partes review petitions cannot be appealed. The Federal Circuit also rejected the companies' arguments that the rule was arbitrary and violated U.S. patent law. But the three-judge panel said the PTO may have been required to hold a period of public notice and comment before making the rule, and that it could be challenged based on that argument.The case is Apple Inc v.

The first was the exclusivity decision squashed by the Court," he told the General Court.He said the 3G baseband chipsets singled out in the case accounted for just 0.7% of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) market and thus it was not possible for Qualcomm to shut out rivals from the chipset market."What price should Qualcomm have charged for each chipset and each quarter to allow it to pass the price cost test?"

The supply continues to grow and this prosperous sector is not immune to cyclicality and overcapacity. However, the manufacturing process of electronic chips, which include semiconductors, involves many steps. It takes years of experience and research in the industry to develop, design, produce, market and service a single line of microchips. The process of building a semiconductor plant is also extremely expensive in terms of capital, time and complexity.  +As you can see, one of the main problems of this market is the big complexity of the production chain. Not all groups have foundries (semiconductor manufacturing plants) because of the huge capital costs involved. Axcelis has this advantage. The company benefits from its ATC (Advanced Technology Center) and AOC (Asia Operations Center). The ATC is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advanced chip manufacturing and equipment demonstration while the AOC is a state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility to meet the growing market demand by serving their growing footprint throughout Asia and their Korean customer base. + + +Source: MarketScreener - Chart + +An ultra-competitive market:The constant demand for ever more advanced and high-performance electronic products forces companies to be constantly innovative to stay ahead of the competition. In addition, high R&D costs are a significant barrier for new companies wishing to enter the market, increasing competition between established players. The short life cycle of electronic products means that companies must be able to release new products quickly to satisfy consumer demand and remain competitive. Finally, sensitivity to economic cycles can cause significant fluctuations in demand for electronics products, requiring the ability to adapt quickly to stay ahead of the competition. +With an order book (Samsung, Intel, TSMC, Micron, SK Hynix, GlobalFoundries) that is overflowing and a competitive advantage in equipment design, what could stand in the way of Axcelis? The first risk that comes to mind is pressure from the United States to prevent Beijing from gaining access to advanced technologies. China is already embargoed on certain equipment, but Washington is pushing to extend the restrictions to other machines. At this stage, Axcelis has not been penalized too much, but it is a point of vigilance. Other threats include the risk associated with the highly technical nature of the equipment produced, which forces the company to maintain a constant level of excellence with very demanding customers. +Valuation:This explains the attraction of Axcelis to investors. In ten years, the stock has gained more than 2700%. Revenues have risen from $193 billion in 2013 to $920 billion in 2022, an average annual increase of almost 17%. At the same time, the operating margin increased from -6.88% to 23%. The company's net income is quite considerable with an increase of more than 975% between 2019 and 2022 from $17 million to $183 million. Meanwhile, Axcelis is paying between 15 and 20 times earnings which makes it a rather attractive price, unlike its competitor ASML which is paying 30 times earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the group's revenue rose 16% quarter-over-quarter to $266 billion, beating analysts' estimates. The company's earnings per share came in at $5.46 in 2022 compared to $0.48 in 2015. + + +Source: MarketScreener - Income Statement + +Axcelis simply reflects the growing importance of this sector in our daily lives. As for semiconductors, the industry has seen its sales explode by more than 20% to about $600 billion by 2021. McKinsey's analysis suggests that the industry's overall annual growth could average 6-8% per year through 2030, making it a $1 trillion industry by the end of the decade. This assumes an average price increase of about 2% per year and a return to balanced supply and demand after the current volatility.

Earlier this month Alibaba Group Holding's chip unit T-Head and Alipay, the payment service under Alibaba's financial affiliate Ant Group, jointly announced they will release computing chips for secure payments based on RISC-V.($1 = 6.8276 Chinese yuan renminbi) (Reporting by Josh Horwitz) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/INTC/2023.03.24/Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94.txt b/news/INTC/2023.03.24/Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..44241e10fa8c551b0b6bd35e550bf7cc90f7b109 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/INTC/2023.03.24/Gordon Moore, Intel Co-Founder, Dies at 94.txt @@ -0,0 +1,53 @@ + +Intel and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announced today that company co-founder Gordon Moore has passed away at the age of 94. +This press release features multimedia.

(Credit: Intel Corporation) +The foundation reported he died peacefully on Friday, March 24, 2023, surrounded by family at his home in Hawaii. + +Moore and his longtime colleague Robert Noyce founded Intel in July 1968. Moore initially served as executive vice president until 1975, when he became president. In 1979, Moore was named chairman of the board and chief executive officer, posts he held until 1987, when he gave up the CEO position and continued as chairman. In 1997, Moore became chairman emeritus, stepping down in 2006. + +More: Gordon Moore at Intel + +During his lifetime, Moore also dedicated his focus and energy to philanthropy, particularly environmental conservation, science and patient care improvements. Along with his wife of 72 years, he established the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which has donated more than $5.1 billion to charitable causes since its founding in 2000. + +“Those of us who have met and worked with Gordon will forever be inspired by his wisdom, humility and generosity,” reflected foundation president Harvey Fineberg. “Though he never aspired to be a household name, Gordon’s vision and his life’s work enabled the phenomenal innovation and technological developments that shape our everyday lives. Yet those historic achievements are only part of his legacy. His and Betty’s generosity as philanthropists will shape the world for generations to come.” + +Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO, said, “Gordon Moore defined the technology industry through his insight and vision. He was instrumental in revealing the power of transistors, and inspired technologists and entrepreneurs across the decades. We at Intel remain inspired by Moore’s Law, and intend to pursue it until the periodic table is exhausted. Gordon’s vision lives on as our true north as we use the power of technology to improve the lives of every person on Earth. My career and much of my life took shape within the possibilities fueled by Gordon’s leadership at the helm of Intel, and I am humbled by the honor and responsibility to carry his legacy forward.” + +Frank D. Yeary, chairman of Intel’s board of directors, said, “Gordon was a brilliant scientist and one of America’s leading entrepreneurs and business leaders. It is impossible to imagine the world we live in today, with computing so essential to our lives, without the contributions of Gordon Moore. He will always be an inspiration to our Intel family and his thinking at the core of our innovation culture.” + +Andy Bryant, former chairman of Intel’s board of directors, said, “I will remember Gordon as a brilliant scientist, a straight-talker and an astute businessperson who sought to make the world better and always do the right thing. It was a privilege to know him, and I am grateful that his legacy lives on in the culture of the company he helped to create.” + +Prior to establishing Intel, Moore and Noyce participated in the founding of Fairchild Semiconductor, where they played central roles in the first commercial production of diffused silicon transistors and later the world’s first commercially viable integrated circuits. The two had previously worked together under William Shockley, the co-inventor of the transistor and founder of Shockley Semiconductor, which was the first semiconductor company established in what would become Silicon Valley. Upon striking out on their own, Moore and Noyce hired future Intel CEO Andy Grove as the third employee, and the three of them built Intel into one of the world’s great companies. Together they became known as the “Intel Trinity,” and their legacy continues today. + +In addition to Moore’s seminal role in founding two of the world’s pioneering technology companies, he famously forecast in 1965 that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year – a prediction that came to be known as Moore’s Law. + +“All I was trying to do was get that message across, that by putting more and more stuff on a chip we were going to make all electronics cheaper,” Moore said in a 2008 interview. + +With his 1965 prediction proven correct, in 1975 Moore revised his estimate to the doubling of transistors on an integrated circuit every two years for the next 10 years. Regardless, the idea of chip technology growing at an exponential rate, continually making electronics faster, smaller and cheaper, became the driving force behind the semiconductor industry and paved the way for the ubiquitous use of chips in millions of everyday products. + +In 2022, Gelsinger announced the renaming of the Ronler Acres campus in Oregon – where Intel teams develop future process technologies – to Gordon Moore Park at Ronler Acres. The RA4 building that’s home for much of Intel’s Technology Development Group was also renamed The Moore Center along with its café, The Gordon. + +“I can think of no better way to honor Gordon and the profound impact he’s had on this company than by bestowing his name on this campus,” Gelsinger said at the event. “I hope we did you proud today, Gordon. And the world thanks you.” + +Gordon Earle Moore was born in San Francisco on Jan. 3, 1929, to Walter Harold and Florence Almira “Mira” (Williamson) Moore. Moore was educated at San Jose State University, the University of California at Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology, where he was awarded a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1954. + +He started his research career at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland. He returned to California in 1956 to join Shockley Semiconductor. In 1957, Moore co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor, a division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument, along with Robert Noyce and six other colleagues from Shockley Semiconductor. Eleven years later, Moore and Noyce co-founded Intel. + +With Fairchild and Intel came financial success. Beginning with individual gifts, many of them anonymous, then forming the Moore Family Foundation, and eventually, in 2000, creating the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Moore and his wife sought through philanthropy to make the world a better place for future generations. His passion for impact and measurement were hallmarks of his philanthropic work and aspirations. + +He received the National Medal of Technology from President George H.W. Bush in 1990, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, from President George W. Bush in 2002. + +After retiring from Intel in 2006, Moore divided his time between California and Hawaii, serving as chairman of the board for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation until transitioning to chairman emeritus in 2018. Moore also served as a member of the board of directors of Conservation International and Gilead Sciences, Inc. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Engineers, and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He served as chairman of the board of trustees of the California Institute of Technology from 1995 until the beginning of 2001, and continued as a Life Trustee. + +In 1950, Moore married Betty Irene Whitaker, who survives him. Moore is also survived by sons Kenneth and Steven and four grandchildren. + +About the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation + +Gordon and Betty Moore established the foundation to create positive outcomes for future generations.

Net Worth is being rolled out to U.S. consumers with a credit score of 720 or above, with the goal to expand to a larger population over time. + +WHY NET WORTH? + +Credit Karma has played an instrumental role in helping its members make financial progress by helping them overcome common financial hurdles like paying down debt, building credit or opening their first checking and savings account. Credit Karma recognizes no individual’s financial situation is the same and, as Americans graduate from one phase of their financial journey to the next, they’re met with a new set of financial challenges and are looking to build on the financial success they’ve achieved. These members likely have good credit and the ability to save money each month, yet still lack the confidence to maximize their money and plan for the future. Net Worth will put a person's full financial picture into perspective so members can feel confident in making decisions to grow their money. + +BUILDING ON MINT’S SUCCESS + +To bring this to life, Intuit’s Mint business has joined the Credit Karma team to build its Net Worth experience, combining Mint’s more than 15 years of product experience helping consumers effectively manage their money.

However, the first iteration will focus primarily on helping members understand the components of their net worth so they can monitor and track their progress over time, and make plans for their next dollar. + +“Net Worth was built for U.S. consumers who have already made significant progress on their credit score and are looking for that next financial health indicator to track and take action on, as they continue their financial journey,” said Ryan Steckler, general manager of Prime and Mint. “Before we can help consumers grow their net worth, we’ve built a seamless product experience that gives consumers a holistic view of all of their financial accounts, directly within the Credit Karma app.” + +At launch, members will be prompted to link their financial accounts, such as a 401k, brokerage account and outstanding liabilities like a mortgage, unlocking a real-time snapshot of their total net worth. This alleviates the tedious process of manually logging in to various accounts across platforms and crunching the numbers to know exactly where their money stands. As part of the experience, members will also have insight into their transactions history for a more complete view of money coming in and out each month. + +About Credit Karma + +Founded in 2007 by Ken Lin, Credit Karma, an Intuit company (Nasdaq: INTU), is a consumer technology company with nearly 130 million members in the United States, U.K. and Canada, including almost half of all U.S. millennials.

Statistical adjustment ensures the Index truly reflects employment and job vacancy changes rather than changes in the QuickBooks customer base. Get the full methodology on the Intuit QuickBooks Small Business Index interactive hub. + +Rounded values +Total and monthly changes in employment and job vacancies have been rounded to the nearest hundred. Monthly changes and growth rates are calculated before total employment or job vacancy values are rounded. Rates have been rounded to the nearest hundredth. + +Seasonal adjustments +The Index’s data insights are seasonally adjusted to limit the effect of seasonal patterns in employment and hiring throughout the year, which lead to regular fluctuations in workforce growth and contraction. + +Time series +The Index uses data going back to January 2015 in the US and Canada and January 2018 in the UK. Published at the earliest opportunity every month, it shows the number of people employed by small businesses (US and Canada) or the number of job vacancies at small businesses (UK) in the previous month and how that number has changed since the month before. So, in March, the Index shows total employment or job vacancies in February and the monthly growth rate — up or down — compared to January. It helps to eliminate almost all of the time lags in official statistics — of 7-9 months in the US, of several days in Canada, and up to 2 weeks in the UK — by providing estimated projections of what those statistics will ultimately show when they are published. + +Sample sizes and target populations +The total sample across all three countries is around 424,000 small businesses. The US sample is almost 333,000 small businesses. The Canadian sample is almost 66,000 small businesses. The UK sample is almost 25,000 small businesses. In the US and UK, the Index reflects the population of small businesses with one to nine employees, while in Canada it reflects small businesses with one to 19 employees. The differences in target populations ensure the data insights are consistent with official statistics available for benchmarking during the calibration process. Data insights for these target populations are particularly valuable since most datasets fail to cover this portion of the economy well. Please note: Unlike the US and Canada Indexes, the UK Index uses job vacancy data for calibration rather than employment data because official employment statistics are not currently available on a monthly basis for small businesses. + +External data sources +External data sources used alongside anonymized QuickBooks data include: + +ABOUT PROFESSOR UFUK AKCIGIT +Ufuk Akcigit is the Arnold C.

Instead, a sample of anonymised QuickBooks Online Payroll records are aggregated and normalised against official government statistics before publication using purpose-built economic models created by Professor Akcigit and his international team of independent economists. This means the Index can provide a near real-time reflection of hiring and employment in the broader small business economy — rather than trends only in the QuickBooks customer base — just a few days after small businesses run payroll. + +Visit the Intuit QuickBooks Small Business Index interactive hub for further insights and to stay up to date on the latest Index releases. + +Notes to Editors + +METHODOLOGY + +The Intuit QuickBooks Small Business Index creates aggregated data outputs from anonymised QuickBooks Online Payroll customer records which are calibrated using statistical methods to better reflect the general population of small businesses in each country, as represented by published official statistics. Statistical adjustment ensures the Index truly reflects employment and job vacancy changes rather than changes in the QuickBooks customer base. Get the full methodology on the Intuit QuickBooks Small Business Index interactive hub. + +Rounded values + +Total and monthly changes in employment and job vacancies have been rounded to the nearest hundred. Monthly changes and growth rates are calculated before total employment or job vacancy values are rounded. Rates have been rounded to the nearest hundredth. + +Seasonal adjustments + +The Index’s data insights are seasonally adjusted to limit the effect of seasonal patterns in employment and hiring throughout the year, which lead to regular fluctuations in workforce growth and contraction. + +Time series + +The Index uses data going back to January 2015 in the US and Canada and January 2018 in the UK. Published at the earliest opportunity every month, it shows the number of people employed by small businesses (US and Canada) or the number of job vacancies at small businesses (UK) in the previous month and how that number has changed since the month before. So, in March, the Index shows total employment or job vacancies in February and the monthly growth rate — up or down — compared to January. It helps to eliminate almost all of the time lags in official statistics — of 7-9 months in the US, of several days in Canada, and up to 2 weeks in the UK — by providing estimated projections of what those statistics will ultimately show when they are published. + +Sample sizes and target populations + +The total sample across all three countries is more than 424,000 small businesses. The US sample is almost 333,000 small businesses. The Canadian sample is almost 66,000 small businesses. The UK sample is almost 25,000 small businesses. In the US and UK, the Index reflects the population of small businesses with one to nine employees, while in Canada it reflects small businesses with one to 19 employees. The differences in target populations ensure the data insights are consistent with official statistics available for benchmarking during the calibration process. Data insights for these target populations are particularly valuable since most datasets fail to cover this portion of the economy well. Please note: Unlike the US and Canada Indexes, the UK Index uses job vacancy data for calibration rather than employment data because official employment statistics are not currently available on a monthly basis for small businesses. + +External data sources + +External data sources used alongside anonymised QuickBooks data include: + +ABOUT PROFESSOR UFUK AKCIGIT + +Ufuk Akcigit is the Arnold C.

But direct consumer subsidies are unlikely, sources told Reuters last month.In the absence of additional support, the recovery in household consumption, long seen as key to improving sustainability of growth in the world's second-largest economy, is likely to be gradual and uneven, they say.After China dropped most pandemic controls late in 2022, the share prices of many consumer-facing companies rose, reflecting optimism that a spending splurge was imminent."We have been warning that markets may become overly bullish about 'revenge' spending and the release of pent-up demand," said Nomura chief China economist Ting Lu, referring to the V-shaped spending recovery seen in the U.S. and other countries after COVID restrictions were lifted. "Markets should curb their enthusiasm due to the limited possibility of a large stimulus package, the elevated unemployment rate, a lack of confidence in the property sector, a slump in exports and geopolitical tensions."Prices of new Chinese homes fell for 16 months before steadying in January.A survey of white-collar workers published last month by recruiting firm Zhaopin showed 47.3% of respondents were worried they might lose their jobs this year. Meanwhile, cash-strapped local governments have cut wages for civil servants, and older citizens are struggling with pensions that barely cover their costs of living.Some economists, pointing to new household savings reaching 17.8 trillion yuan ($2.59 trillion) last year, an increase of 7.9 trillion yuan from 2021, had expected pent-up demand to drive a recovery in consumption even without policy support.But there is little sign that enough money is being spent on goods and services to make much difference to consumption.Data last week showed consumer inflation had slowed in February to its lowest annual rate in a year, while passenger car sales for the first two months of the year were down 20% on a year earlier. Imports have fallen faster than expected.A data report on Wednesday is expected to show January-February retail sales were only 3.4% higher than a year before, when annual growth was 6.7%, according to a Reuters poll.Daniel Zipser, senior partner at McKinsey, said most shoppers were still in wait-and-see mode, and the next holiday season, in May, would offer the next clues on whether their mood was changing."People are free to travel and spend, but they're not fully there yet compared to about 18 months ago, when they were incredibly confident about their future prospects," said Zipser. Consumer confidence ticked up in January from 2022's record low, but was well below the levels seen in the past two decades. UNEVENFree tables in restaurants and coffee shops in Beijing or Shanghai are hard to find at peak hours, and many hotels and travel agencies have gone on a hiring spree as domestic tourism has returned.The China Tourism Academy, an industry body, says domestic tourism revenue in 2023 could reach about 4 trillion yuan, about 95% more than last year but still only about 71% of the 2019 level.Also, earnings updates suggest the business sector has subdued near-term expectations.Yum China, which runs KFC and Pizza Hut in China, said last month it would offer promotions to get customers through the door. Starbucks warned of a "cautious" recovery in its China sales. Alibaba said it saw demand for healthcare and wellness products improving, but sales for apparel and discretionary goods looked weak so far.E-commerce giant JD.com said consumer confidence would take time to rebuild."Consumers have become more meticulous in their spending," its chief executive, Xu Lei, said in an earnings call on Thursday.MIDDLE CLASS SQUEEZEOther businesses are noticing it as well.One mid-range guesthouse owner in Dali, in Yunnan province, told Reuters that China's reopening had brought tourists back to the lake-side town, but not everyone was benefitting equally."Now the Chinese tourists are either super rich or very poor," said the owner, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "They are choosing either top-end or budget hotels."Julian Evans-Pritchard, an analyst at Capital Economics, attributes people's reluctance to open their wallets to household wealth declining for the first time in at least two decades last year due to falling prices for shares and homes."This suggests that once the initial reopening rebound has happened, we shouldn't expect a further surge in consumer spending," he wrote in a note to clients.($1 = 6.8780 Chinese yuan renminbi) (Editing by Marius Zaharia and Bradley Perrett)By Casey Hall and Sophie Yu \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/JD/2023.03.20/China's PDD misses revenue estimates on weak consumer spending.txt b/news/JD/2023.03.20/China's PDD misses revenue estimates on weak consumer spending.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..234f3fa7b20e112ecf73dae2655a70b770c4bd89 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/JD/2023.03.20/China's PDD misses revenue estimates on weak consumer spending.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +U.S.-listed shares of the Chinese company fell 7% in premarket trading.A resurgence in COVID-19 cases in China hurt e-commerce giants including JD.com, which warned in March that consumer confidence will take time to rebuild amid economic uncertainties.China's total retail sales contracted 1.8% in December, while its economy posted one of the worst growth rates in nearly half a century in 2022, expanding just 3%.

Globally, stock sales reached $12.3 billion, the most in more than 30 weeks.Investment bankers and lawyers say companies are seeing strong demand for their stock from investors who believe now is the time to place big bets on the market recovering in the wake of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to fight inflation. It's a risky proposition, so companies and their backers are seizing on the opportunity for fear it may soon slip away."Equity markets have regained some momentum and volatility has decreased, driving animal spirits on the buy side," said Santiago Gilfond, co-head of Americas equity capital markets at Credit Suisse Group AG. He added that the sellers of stock have moderated their valuation expectations, helping to lure buyers.Last week saw 18 so-called secondary stock sales in the U.S., including a $1.7 billion divestment by utility company American Water Works Co Inc, the fifth largest U.S. stock sale since beginning of 2022. In another notable transaction last week, Oreo cookie maker Mondelez International Inc offloaded about a $1 billion stake in beverage firm Keurig Dr Pepper Inc in an unregistered stock sale, according to a securities filing. Private equity firms are getting a piece of the action. Blackstone Inc last week sold a roughly $270 million stake in dating app Bumble Inc along with about $220 million position in human resources benefits platform Alight Inc, and this week, Providence Equity Partners sold a $333 million stake in software provider DoubleVerify Holdings Inc.The surge in activity has been welcomed by bankers and lawyers working on these offerings. Collectively they executed $72.5 billion worth of stock sales for public companies in 2022, the lowest level since 1996 and a 67% drop from 2021's deal bonanza, according to Dealogic data."Investors are willing to put money to work in a way that they weren't a year ago," said Michael Kaplan, a capital markets partner at law firm Davis Polk.The next frontier for equity capital markets, bankers and lawyers say, are initial public offerings (IPOs), which have been subdued since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Unlike secondary stock sales, IPOs take at least a few days to market to investors, and several months to prepare, so companies can't be as nimble in pursuing them when the market becomes welcoming. A busy week for initial public offerings in early February offered some hope to stock market hopefuls, but advisors remain cautious as stocks sold off in recent weeks.

Walmart's margins have followed a similar pattern as it tries to keep prices low for consumers, and maintain traffic for its stores.Kroger Co's margins also rose sharply in the pandemic, as food prices have spiked. P&G, Kroger and Walmart did not immediately return requests for comment. P&G executives said at an industry conference last month that as inflation continues, it becomes harder to increase prices. Executives at Walmart said last month inflation in food and consumables has persisted, with food inflation higher than what they thought it would be.U.S. lawmakers such as Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative David Cicilline have taken companies to task over price hikes on items shoppers buy every day.The situation is not unique to the United States, with data shared at a recent European Central Bank retreat showing companies there are profiting from high inflation."Corporate profits and higher margins have been a key driver of inflation and as they start to ease we will see lower prices in real life," said Rakeen Mabud, chief economist at progressive advocacy group Groundwork Collaborative. "What works going up, works coming down. If we see margins ease, companies bring prices down, we'll see lower inflation."Some manufacturers of household goods are easing price hikes. Ketchup maker Kraft Heinz Co, Clorox Co and PepsiCo Inc have indicated they are pressing pause on further raising prices.Clorox declined to comment, while Kraft Heinz and Pepsico did not immediately return a request for comment.P&G and Stouffer's frozen meal maker Nestle SA have said they are planning to continue increasing prices, even as shoppers are buying less and trimming their budgets. Nestle did not immediately return a request for comment.Former Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard said in the fall that retail margins - a measure of the price chains charge for a product compared to what they paid for it - have risen "significantly more" than wages for the typical store associate. Lowering those margins could help reduce inflation pressures in consumer goods, she said.

This year's list highlights the businesses at the forefront of their respective industries, paving the way for the innovations of tomorrow. Kraft Heinz was listed as the #2 most innovative company within the Consumer Goods sector for its efforts to disrupt the food category, including making plant-based foods more approachable through its Kraft Heinz Not Company joint venture that launched in 2022.'At Kraft Heinz, we are innovating faster than ever before,' said Diana Frost, Chief Growth Officer of North America at Kraft Heinz.

As part of its portfolio innovation and renovation, Kraft Heinz has reformulated its iconic Capri Sun juice drink, the largest renovation to the product since 1986, to reduce the amount of sugar by 40% on average. In addition, the company launched Homebake, a new-to-the-world product that combines consumer insights with a first-of-its-kind technology to reimagine family dinners. These are just a few examples demonstrating how Kraft Heinz is driving innovation to lead the future of food.'By combining NotCo's first-of its-kind technology and proven AI solutions with the scale, power and iconic brand portfolio of Kraft Heinz, we are developing plant-based food at a level of speed, taste and quality not previously seen in the industry,' said Lucho Lopez-May, Chief Executive Officer of The Kraft Heinz Not Company.

Better yet, instead of just watching it, think about adding it to the speculative buy list, a consideration justified by VYBE being an under-the-radar value investment opportunity presenting ground-floor pricing. But know this. The window of opportunity could close quickly. In fact, with serial and proven entrepreneur Jas Mathur taking on the role of Chairman and CEO, that's likely.Supporting that bullish sentiment is that only about 3.63 million VYBE shares are outstanding. And with a significant portion of those tightly held, when VYBE does catch a bid, momentum to the upside could be appreciable. In addition, the benefit of having staked insiders also helps mitigate downside risk, as sellers, limited by this capital structure, may be hard to find.Still, low-float investment opportunities, while attractive, shouldn't be the primary reason for investment consideration. Instead, investors are better hedged by paying attention to fundamentals. And VYBE has strengthened theirs to the point where its work done in 2022 positions them to have a breakout in 2023. The results of that are expected to support significantly higher valuations.Leveraging Assets To Target A Massive IndustryAgain, not an overly bullish presumption, considering that VYBE has the assets and expertise to navigate near and long-term revenue-generating opportunities from a U.S. health and wellness industry valued at $1.2 trillion. The better news from a growth perspective is that VYBE doesn't need to target the entire sector simultaneously. Reaching just parts of it can yield substantial revenues. Companies like 1life Healthcare (NASDAQ: ONEM), Simply Good Foods (NASDAQ: SMPL), and Lululemon Athletica (NASDAQ: LULU) prove that point emphatically.VYBE can find its space as well. For instance, capitalizing on personal care and beauty products and services puts an estimated $955 billion opportunity in play. If that's not the initial target, VYBE can target an estimated $946 billion healthy eating, nutrition, and weight loss sector. And keep in mind those are U.S market opportunities. An additional billion-dollar-plus market is alive outside this country's borders, which VYBE indicates could be exploited in the coming quarters.2022 Acquisition Fuels The Growth FlamesThey have the assets to make that happen. After acquiring Bio Lab Naturals in 2022, Limitless X continues to fortify an already impressive asset portfolio. Moreover, VYBE shows no signs of slowing, with CEO Jas Mathur leveraging professional relationships to strengthen VYBE's market position and marketability, combining the power of many to accelerate his company's growth pace.And it's not only the people aspect of VYBE making it a more dynamic company. VYBE's willingness to acquire accretive assets to drive revenues higher, coupled with its plans to generate income through client brand and product development, digital advertising, marketing, and direct-to-consumer fulfillment solutions initiatives, also contribute to value creation.Also supporting the bullish case is that VYBE has a running start to make its company bigger faster, fueled by already serving A-list brands and clients across the United States and from a management team versed in capitalizing on and maximizing the potential inherent to the health and wellness industry. In fact, Jas Mathur, a successful entrepreneur, investor, and venture capitalist, could be the key to this small-cap company doing some big-time things, which many believe can start to happen in the first part of this year.That assessment is supported by precedent from Mathur's proven ability to generate value through his e-commerce and product development expertise. He has helped develop multiple brands in the marketing, health, and wellness spaces that have combined to deliver millions of dollars in revenue annually. But here's something else to appreciate.More than Jas Mathur leading the company, he's also deeply invested in it, contributing roughly $5.1 million to Limitless X and converting loans into preferred stock to remove debt from the company. That does at least two things. First, it aligns insider interests with common stock shareholders. Secondly, it eliminates debt overhang in an environment where investors push valuations of small-cap companies lower as interest rates rise, assuming many will need to tap higher-interest capital markets to accelerate growth.A Strong VYBE Attracts ClienteleAt this point, VYBE may be able to sidestep that potential hurdle. Its balance sheet appears well-fortified to fuel its growth strategy and, importantly, sufficient to generate organic growth while expanding its market presence. Well, not entirely organically. VYBE is also in acquisition mode, on record saying it continues to seek industry-relevant companies to acquire to further expand its product line and operational footprint. If successful in those endeavors, VYBE could beat preliminary sales, earnings, and net revenues estimates, which are guided to reach upwards of $40M in its 2022 fiscal year.That's an impressive number for a small-cap stock. But remember, Limitless X expects to hit that target by already serving over one million satisfied U.S. customers in its Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) eco-system, a segment leveraging a business model to offer a better customer experience keeping costs down and increasing profits. Companies that can do what VYBE is doing are earning Wall Street attention. Investment trends support that investors are focusing on the coveted health, wellness, and beauty categories and paying a premium to those companies that can capitalize on the extraordinary momentum behind the e-commerce movement.Specifically, investors are focusing on companies able to serve the demand for innovative and impactful wellness products through a high-margin, high-profit e-commerce business model. Remember that while many pedestrian-driven markets are returning to normalcy after the global pandemic-related shutdowns, the e-commerce market has been slow to give up its accrued revenue-generating territory. That's the area where VYBE can shine.Furthermore, there's value in the fact that VYBE isn't one-dimensional. They are a creative and empowering lifestyle agency well-versed in capitalizing on the full spectrum of digital advertising and marketing through an eco-system targeting Health & Wellness, Beauty & Skincare, and C-B-D.The Power Inherent To A DTC Business ModelThat structure utilizes an effective and efficient direct-to-consumer (DTC) business model, allowing it to sell its product directly to its end customers without the help of third-party wholesalers or retailers. Of course, how VYBE does business is a significant departure from the traditional brick-and-mortar models, which continue to shed value due to a competitive landscape where easier-to-use online shopping options are now mainstream.The better news for VYBE is that the trend isn't likely to slow. On the contrary, e-commerce is more than a mainstream business model; it's expected to become THE predominant way for companies to maximize sales by providing customers with a seamless experience that increases the likelihood of repeat orders.CEO Jas Mathur expects a bright future for VYBE. Post-acquisition in 2022, he noted that his company is better positioned than ever to advance a corporate strategy and mission to make Limitless X the premier digital brand powerhouse for its clients and businesses. The "VYBE" name, an acronym for Visualize Yourself Better Everyday, is an active mission statement keeping leadership focused on a simple but essential premise: keep chasing excellence.Plenty supports his optimism. Leadership has proven its ability to develop brands and assets through innovative digital marketing and branding campaigns. In this case, history may repeat, a result of Limitless X successfully launching numerous industry-leading products in the dietary and CBD supplement sectors. And with over 7 million Instagram followers and frequent collaborations with leaders in the sports and entertainment industries, the better news for client brands and VYBE portfolio assets is that business generally hits the ground running.Not to be confined to the health and wellness sectors, VYBE is penetrating new revenue-generating markets, with plans to utilize its company's intrinsic strengths to penetrate personality development, life coaching, and educational platforms market opportunities. Those do more than fit accretively into an already growing portfolio; the plans could help VYBE establish a leading competitive position in these emerging market segments.Seizing Its Opportunities Could Fuel 2023 BreakoutAll told, VYBE's sum of its parts does position them to meet that lofty $40 million revenue estimate. If so, its recent share price near $3.00 falls appreciably short of a fair representation of value, especially considering its low outstanding share count compared to expected revenues. Assuming the share count remains the same, scoring $40 million in sales could certainly prime VYBE stock for a considerable and justified move higher.Thus, while VYBE may be an under-the-radar company today, considering its fresh approach to earning business, that may not be the case much longer. And that change could be expedited by VYBE continuing to do the right things at the right time. In other words, maintaining a focus on building its business with a 21st-century digital strategy could be the recipe for success. If so, the rewards for VYBE, its clients, and investors could be tasty.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC. (STM, Llc.) is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

The hotel's timeless architecture, light-filled interiors, space-saving design solutions, flexible co-working and meeting studios, and range of restaurants and bars reflect the easygoing spirit of its trendsetting surroundings to attract discerning locals and cool-hunting guests with a playful and young-at-heart attitude. + + + The four new dining and drinking venues conceived and operated by Bar Lab Hospitality reflect the wide-ranging tastes of in-the-know Brooklynites. This includes Mesiba, a festive, Tel Aviv-inspired restaurant serving Levantine cuisine; Bar Bedford, a destination cocktail bar and all-day café; Jolene; a high-energy sound room with a state-of-the-art audio and light system; and opening this spring, LilliStar,an indoor/outdoor rooftop bar whose vast terrace will feature breathtaking views of the Williamsburg Bridge and Manhattan skyline. + + + "Williamsburg is a flourishing hub for all the creativity and innovation for which New York is known. As its international reputation has blossomed, it has become the place to visit and stay," said developer Mitchell Hochberg, President of Lightstone. "Our ambition with Moxy Williamsburg is to create a hotel that welcomes visitors with an authentic experience-one that Brooklynites themselves will embrace with open arms." + + +DESIGN + Moxy Williamsburg was designed by BASILE Studio, a boutique design firm based in San Diego, in collaboration with Lightstone Design Studio. The hotel's diverse public spaces reflect the area's melting pot character, finding inspiration in both past and present with influences from both near and far. + + + The 11-story building, designed by the eminent New York architecture firm Stonehill Taylor, has a clean, industrial-inspired look that recalls the neighborhood's warehouse lofts. The glass front façade opens completely onto the sidewalk and Bedford Avenue, merging indoors and outdoors, putting the energy of the lobby and Bar Bedford on display. The building's southern façade is distinguished by a massive Pop Art-style mural by acclaimed British street artist D*Face; visible from the Williamsburg Bridge, it depicts a woman in a car, stuck in traffic, crying out: "GET ME TO THE MOXY!!" + + + The lobby's 20-foot exposed ceilings and natural materials capture the open, airy feel of a converted warehouse. Foliage hangs from the ceiling and spills from planters, creating a biophilic feel that offsets the room's clean lines and industrial proportions. An art installation by Rare Culture rises behind two blackened steel check-in pods and spreads across the ceiling. Made of thousands of colored crayons, it's a pointillist depiction of the underbelly of the Williamsburg Bridge at sunrise, looking from Brooklyn toward the Manhattan skyline. Hanging on the wall behind the self-check-in pods is a series of hand-painted skateboards by local artists. + + +Bar Bedford, Moxy Williamsburg's cocktail bar and all-day café, is a comfortable living space that reflects Brooklyn's forward-thinking, creative vibe. Its showpiece is the bar itself: motorized liquor risers made of blackened metal rise 20 feet behind glass and white oak panels, holding 1,500 bottles of wine and liquor. The shelves move up and down like dumbwaiters, giving bartenders access to special bottles and providing patrons with a show. This custom-fabricated system was inspired by New York's old Automats, fast food restaurants popular in the first half of the 20th century where customers would pick up their food from a wall of glass-fronted cubbies. + + + As found in Lightstone's other Moxy hotels, Moxy Williamsburg features three Meeting Studios, breakaway spaces designed to be used for private events and co-working. The Studios feature modular sofas and worktables that fold down to become credenzas - all designed to be easily rearranged, transforming the spaces as day turns into night. The rooms can be combined to accommodate larger groups, and open onto Bar Bedford Garden, an adaptable alfresco space in the rear of the hotel. Inspired by the backyard gardens tucked behind many Williamsburg apartment buildings, it has a lively, residential vibe that feels like an oasis in the urban jungle. + + + Flooded with daylight through floor-to-ceiling windows, the 216 bedrooms at Moxy Williamsburg are smartly designed to strip away the superfluous and focus on comfort and functionality. Streamlined shapes and organic materials such as birch and steel feel warm and welcoming, while moments of surprise lend a distinctively Moxy sensibility. Rooms range from 165-210 square feet and include Kings, Executive Kings, Double Queens, and Quad Bunks. Ingenious storage solutions include wall-mounted pegs that guests can fold open or close as needed, an open closet and under-bed cubbies. A desk folds down from the wall to provide a workspace. + + +Eat + Drink + Conceptualized by Bar Lab Hospitality, the creative force behind the popular Broken Shaker bars in New York, Miami, Los Angeles and Chicago, the restaurants and bars at Moxy Williamsburg are as worldly and welcoming as the neighborhood they call home. Founded by Elad Zvi and Gabe Orta, Bar Lab creates venues that are unpretentious and laid-back, yet still fashionable and sophisticated. + + + "For Moxy Williamsburg, we envisioned an eclectic grab-bag of experiences that mirrors Williamsburg's diversity. Once you enter, you don't want to leave," said Zvi and Orta. "You can start with a drink at Bar Bedford, meet some friends for dinner at Mesiba, head up to the rooftop for a drink with a view, and finish up the night dancing at Jolene. Moxy Williamsburg offers a multitude of narratives that create a sense of discovery and anticipation." + + +Mesiba is a festive space that pays homage to Tel Aviv's lively energy and Bauhaus architecture, animated by the flavorful cuisine and celebratory "breaking bread" culture of the Levant region and Israel. Taking inspiration from Bar Lab founding partner Elad Zvi's memories of growing up in Tel Aviv, Israeli chef Eli Buli designed the menu as a modern play on traditional dishes from the area, which encompasses Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Turkey, Palestine and the rest of the Eastern Mediterranean. Creative cocktails with a culinary flair complement the fresh, seasonal cuisine. The warm, verdant dining room centers around a curved marble bar, with plants hanging from the double-height ceiling lending a bohemian vibe, while Hollywood-style booths ensure a spirited atmosphere. + + + ​​Inspired by the retro leisure lifestyle, Jolene is a high-energy sound room with a state-of-the-art audio and light system that draws top talent from Brooklyn's thriving nightlife scene - the ideal spot to dance to the sounds of local and global DJs. Jolene is inspired by Dolly Parton - not just her signature song "Jolene" but her image as a powerful, self-assured woman and impact on the music industry and the culture at large. Miami-based nightlife impresarios David Sinopoli, Davide Danese, and Coloma Kaboomsky - collectively known as the Space Invaders and best known for their seminal Club Space - are Bar Lab's partners in Jolene. + + + Opening this spring, LilliStar, Moxy Williamsburg's indoor/outdoor rooftop bar will blend contemporary Indo-Aussie beach culture with Brooklyn energy, creating a unique setting for tropical-inspired cocktails, Balinese beach barbecue, and dramatic views. Giant lotus flowers carved from copper, glass and leather form a dramatic ceiling sculpture in the lounge, where floor-to-ceiling windows open onto an expansive roof deck with show-stopping views of the Manhattan skyline and the iconic steel trusses of the Williamsburg Bridge. Playful cocktails, including large-format drinks for the whole table to share, incorporate tropical fruits and Southeast Asian spices. + + + Moxy Williamsburg follows on the success of Lightstone's other award-winning Moxy hotels in New York - consistently named by Condé Nast Traveler as among the best in the city - including Moxy Times Square, Moxy Chelsea, Moxy East Village, and, most recently, Moxy Lower East Side. + + + "Williamsburg is a microcosm of everything that's trendsetting about New York City: It has the edgiest boutiques, the most innovative restaurants, the most daring bars. That's why more and more people are putting it on their must-visit lists - and it's why we've opened Moxy Williamsburg," says Hochberg. "Not only can Moxy guests stay in the heart of the neighborhood, but by breaking bread at Mesiba, toasting the Manhattan skyline at LilliStar, and dancing the night away at Jolene with Brooklyn's best DJ's, they'll get a strong dose of Williamsburg's energy, all within the walls of the hotel." + + + Located at 353 Bedford Avenue, Moxy Williamsburg offers rates starting from $179 per night.

Microchip Technology Inc. (Nasdaq: MCHP) today announces new industrial-grade SPE products that will help fulfill SPE’s promise, from 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHYs that more easily connect edge IIoT devices to the cloud, to industrial versions of its 100BASE-T1 Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) Ethernet PHY transceivers and switches that enable higher-speed applications across far-reaching Ethernet networks.“Microchip is helping to fuel the adoption of zonal architectures in industrial applications with our new MAC-PHYs that connect to many of Microchip’s microcontrollers (MCUs) to reduce the design complexity and implementation costs for bringing a host of sensors, actuators and other products into the new 10BASE-T1S network infrastructure,” said Matthias Kaestner, vice president at Microchip. “With these new 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHYs and industrial versions of our 100BASE-T1 TSN products, we are making it easier to connect the physical world to the cloud while enabling a seamless Ethernet architecture throughout the IIoT and other industrial networks.”Microchip’s new LAN8650 and LAN8651 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHY Ethernet Controllers with Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) simplify the implementation of zonal architectures by enabling basic MCUs, rather than higher-level MCUs with a Media Access Controller (MAC), to be used when creating sensors, actuators and other devices for the edge of OT and IT networks. These low-speed devices do not need their own communication system, and Microchip’s MAC-PHYs connect them into a standard Ethernet system all the way to the cloud over simple twisted-pair wiring.For industrial applications that require higher bandwidth, designers can use MCUs with an integrated Ethernet MAC. Microchip now offers an industrial-grade version of its LAN8770 100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY Transceiver that provides 100 Mbps transmit and receive capability over a single Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable.Microchip’s SPE portfolio is enhanced with industrial-grade versions of its LAN937x and LAN938x Gigabit Ethernet TSN Switches with integrated 100BASE-T1 PHYs. These scalable, secure and compact SPE switches include hardware time-stamping features for supporting IEEE 802.1AS (gPTP) and IEEE 1588v2 (PTP) time synchronization, among other TSN functionality. Energy-efficiency features include ultra-deep-sleep power down with remote wake for battery applications.“Microchip’s industrial-grade 100BASE-T1 offerings reduce cost, wiring and installation complexity by enabling a complete SPE network from device to server,” said Charles Forni, vice president of Microchip’s USB and networking business unit. “Our industrial-grade SPE offerings are built to withstand harsh environmental conditions across an expanded temperature range while delivering enhanced performance, such as safety, security and extended cable reach, to support industrial applications.”Development ToolsTo support the design efforts of these new products a set of network analysis tools and evaluation boards are available including the LAN8651 EVB and EVB-LAN9383. Microchip’s MPLAB® Harmony v3 provides software support to configure, debug and program designs, while the MPLAB Network Creator provides a quick and intuitive graphical interface for switch configuration.Pricing and AvailabilityMicrochip’s LAN8650 and LAN8651 10BASE-T1S MAC-PHYs and its LAN937x and LAN938x 100BASE-T1 Ethernet Switches and LAN8770 100BASE-T1 Ethernet PHY are available for purchase at Microchip’s Purchasing and Client Services website, www.microchipDIRECT.com.For additional information or to purchase, contact a Microchip sales representative or authorized worldwide distributor.ResourcesHigh-res images available through Flickr or editorial contact (feel free to publish): •  Application image: www.flickr.com/photos/microchiptechnology/52645158266/sizes/lAbout Microchip Technology Microchip Technology Inc. is a leading provider of smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions.

(Nasdaq: MCHP) – a leading provider of smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions – has reached a milestone in its multi-year, $800 million initiative aiming to triple production capacity at its Gresham, Oregon manufacturing facility. Celebrating close to the halfway mark in a major workforce expansion and capital equipment investment, the efforts are part of Microchip’s larger initiative to ramp up overall production in the U.S. as demand continues to grow for semiconductor products across a broad range of industries.“We want to recognize the Microchip Gresham team for their dedication and ongoing hard work on this expansion and thank the state of Oregon and its elected officials for the incentives they have approved in support of its completion,” said Ganesh Moorthy, President and CEO of Microchip Technology. “Our steady growth demonstrates the vital role of semiconductors and the importance of the CHIPS & Science Act for providing the economic support required to help level the global playing field for U.S. companies.”Working with the Business Oregon state economic development agency, the City of Gresham and Multnomah County, Microchip has been approved to receive state and local incentives of approximately $42.4 million for the expansion.“This good news for Gresham opens a fresh chapter for Oregon’s semiconductor industry with the new federal CHIPS & Science Act generating local dividends in the form of good-paying jobs and economic investment in our state,” said Senator Ron Wyden. “I’m proud to have worked on getting this semiconductor bill into law last year, and will keep pressing on all fronts to ensure Oregonians and the semiconductor companies that employ them benefit from this landmark legislation.”“Oregon continues to be the center of excellence for semiconductor manufacturing in the country,” Governor Tina Kotek said. “The state’s focus on economic development led to Microchip expanding its operations in Gresham. This is a win for the city, state and nation: it will bring good-paying jobs to the community, keep Oregon a national leader in chip production, and strengthen our country’s manufacturing, supply chain, and national security.”Microchip has added 300 new employees to its Gresham facility so far, with plans to hire as many as 300 more over the next few years. The company has also made substantial progress expanding and upgrading its 140-acre, 830,000-square-foot Gresham campus so it can manufacture higher volumes of its microcontroller, analog and security products. As part of the investment, Microchip is adding two cleanrooms and more than 160 new tools to its facility, which produces semiconductors from 8-inch wafers.“Microchip continues to be focused on manufacturing legacy chips—the small, ubiquitous microcontrollers and analog products that power virtually every type of electronic device, including things like cars and e-bikes, home appliances, industrial motors and so much more. The growth of these products is critical for growing local, family wage jobs in Oregon and strengthening supply chains right here in the United States,” said Congressman Earl Blumenauer.“This expansion is a tremendous achievement for the City of Gresham and will go a long way in providing jobs and contributing to a thriving economy for our city,” said Gresham Mayor Travis Stovall. “We are grateful for the partnership with Microchip Technology as well as the support from our Oregon legislators in moving this important work forward.”Microchip currently employs more than 900 people at its Gresham campus, with an additional 300 contractors working on-site. The jobs being created at the facility range from production specialists to technical roles in equipment and process engineering, facilities and management.“Microchip established the Gresham site more than two decades ago, and it remains our largest and most advanced internal fabrication facility and an integral element of our long-term microcontroller and analog business strategies,” said Steve Drehobl, senior vice president of Microchip’s 8-bit and 16-bit business units. “Our $800 million expansion initiative here will enable us to better serve customers worldwide.”Microchip has more than 120,000 customers across the industrial, automotive, consumer, communications, computing and aerospace and defense markets.

Globally, stock sales reached $12.3 billion, the most in more than 30 weeks.Investment bankers and lawyers say companies are seeing strong demand for their stock from investors who believe now is the time to place big bets on the market recovering in the wake of the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to fight inflation. It's a risky proposition, so companies and their backers are seizing on the opportunity for fear it may soon slip away."Equity markets have regained some momentum and volatility has decreased, driving animal spirits on the buy side," said Santiago Gilfond, co-head of Americas equity capital markets at Credit Suisse Group AG. He added that the sellers of stock have moderated their valuation expectations, helping to lure buyers.Last week saw 18 so-called secondary stock sales in the U.S., including a $1.7 billion divestment by utility company American Water Works Co Inc, the fifth largest U.S. stock sale since beginning of 2022. In another notable transaction last week, Oreo cookie maker Mondelez International Inc offloaded about a $1 billion stake in beverage firm Keurig Dr Pepper Inc in an unregistered stock sale, according to a securities filing. Private equity firms are getting a piece of the action. Blackstone Inc last week sold a roughly $270 million stake in dating app Bumble Inc along with about $220 million position in human resources benefits platform Alight Inc, and this week, Providence Equity Partners sold a $333 million stake in software provider DoubleVerify Holdings Inc.The surge in activity has been welcomed by bankers and lawyers working on these offerings. Collectively they executed $72.5 billion worth of stock sales for public companies in 2022, the lowest level since 1996 and a 67% drop from 2021's deal bonanza, according to Dealogic data."Investors are willing to put money to work in a way that they weren't a year ago," said Michael Kaplan, a capital markets partner at law firm Davis Polk.The next frontier for equity capital markets, bankers and lawyers say, are initial public offerings (IPOs), which have been subdued since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Unlike secondary stock sales, IPOs take at least a few days to market to investors, and several months to prepare, so companies can't be as nimble in pursuing them when the market becomes welcoming. A busy week for initial public offerings in early February offered some hope to stock market hopefuls, but advisors remain cautious as stocks sold off in recent weeks.

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment. The company has been working on making it easier for developers to use non-Nvidia chips and in October launched a set of free software tools for AI applications that enable switching back and forth between Nvidia and AMD chips.

She did not specify what they would be.The standoff comes at a time when Brussels has suspended the disbursement of billions of euros of much-needed EU funds to Hungary until Budapest implements reforms to improve judicial independence and tackle corruption. The European Commission referred Hungary to the Court of Justice of the EU over the anti-LGBT law in mid-2022. The commission has said it considers that the law violates the EU's internal market rules, the fundamental rights of individuals and EU values.Orban said in a speech last month, defending the legislation: "Gender propaganda is not just ... rainbow chatter, but the greatest threat stalking our children. We want our children to be left alone .... This kind of thing has no place in Hungary, and especially not in our schools."

No decisions have been made about product changes," Kee said.Last month, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was a "terrible mistake" for Google to block news content in reaction to "Online News Act," a government bill that created rules for platforms like Meta's Facebook and Google to negotiate commercial deals and pay news publishers."It really surprises me that Google has decided that they'd rather prevent Canadians from accessing news than actually paying journalists for the work they do," he said at the time.During the panel, questions were raised about local journalism outlets, like the 13-14 local, weekly papers that MP Martin Shields has in his riding. "Blocking is something that I think irritates the local people, the grassroots people. The unintended consequences here of this move, I don't think is a way to negotiate and I think it's a mistake on your part," Shields said to Sabrina Geremia, the head of Google Canada.Geremia said Google is a contributor to news in Canada, driving 3.6 billion free visits from Canadians visiting links to news sites, and has licensing agreements in place with over 150 publications coast to coast. Facebook has also raised concerns about the legislation and warned it might be forced to block news-sharing on its platform.Canada's news media industry has asked the government for more regulation of tech companies to allow the industry to recoup financial losses it has suffered in the years that the tech giants steadily gained greater market share of advertising.Ottawa's proposal is similar to a ground-breaking law that Australia passed in 2021, which too triggered threats from Google and Facebook to curtail their services. Both eventually struck deals with Australian media companies after a series of amendments to the legislation were offered.

SVB was seeking funding to make up for the sale of a $21 billion loss-making bond portfolio, a result of surging rates. Central banks meanwhile are shrinking their balance sheets by offloading bond holdings as part of their fight against hot inflation. We look at some potential pressure points.1/ BANKSBank have shot up the worry list as the SVB rout hit bank stocks globally on contagion fears. JPMorgan and BofA shares fell over 5% on Thursday, European banks slid on Friday.SVB's troubles stem from deposit outflows due to heavy spending by clients in the tech and healthcare sectors, raising questions over whether other banks would have to cover deposit outflows with loss-making bond sales too. In February, U.S. regulators said U.S. banks had unrealised losses of more than $620 billion on securities, underscoring the hit from rising interest rates.Germany's Commerzbank issued a rare statement playing down any threat from SVB.For now, analysts saw SVB's issues as idiosyncratic and took comfort from safer business models at larger banks. BofA noted European banks' bond holdings have not grown since 2015."Normally speaking, banks would not be taking big duration bets with deposits, but with such rapid rate rises it is clear why investors could be worried and are selling now and asking questions later," said Gary Kirk, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management.

In November, a judge ruled Sequoia Capital could not quash subpoenas from Meta seeking information about how the venture capital firm analyzed the photo-sharing site Instagram and the messaging service WhatsApp before Meta bought them."Meta's discovery gluttony confirms its request of eBay is not worthy of the burden Meta seeks to impose," eBay's lawyers told the California court.

Meta and other tech companies have been hiring aggressively for at least two years and in recent months have begun to let some of those workers go. Hiring in the U.S. is still strong, but layoffs have hit hard in some sectors. Early last month, Meta posted falling profits and its third consecutive quarter of declining revenue. The company said Tuesday it will reduce the size of its recruiting team and make further cuts in its tech groups in late April, and then its business groups in late May.“This will be tough and there’s no way around that,” said CEO Mark Zuckerberg. “It will mean saying goodbye to talented and passionate colleagues who have been part of our success.”The Menlo Park, California, company has invested billions of dollars to realign its focus on the metaverse. In February it said a downturn in online advertising and competition from rivals such as TikTok weighed on results. “As I’ve talked about efficiency this year, I’ve said that part of our work will involve removing jobs -- and that will be in service of both building a leaner, more technical company and improving our business performance to enable our long term vision,” said Zuckerberg. The biggest tech companies in the U.S. are cutting costs elsewhere, too.

The goals of this work are: (1) to make us a better technology company and (2) to improve our financial performance in a difficult environment so we can execute our long term vision. + + + + + + Our efficiency work has several parallel workstreams to improve organizational efficiency, dramatically increase developer productivity and tooling, optimize distributed work, garbage collect unnecessary processes, and more. I've tried to be open about all the work that's underway, and while I know many of you are energized by this, I also recognize that the idea of upcoming org changes creates uncertainty and stress. My hope is to make these org changes as soon as possible in the year so we can get past this period of uncertainty and focus on the critical work ahead. + + + + + + Here's the timeline you should expect: over the next couple of months, org leaders will announce restructuring plans focused on flattening our orgs, canceling lower priority projects, and reducing our hiring rates. With less hiring, I've made the difficult decision to further reduce the size of our recruiting team. We will let recruiting team members know tomorrow whether they're impacted. We expect to announce restructurings and layoffs in our tech groups in late April, and then our business groups in late May. In a small number of cases, it may take through the end of the year to complete these changes. Our timelines for international teams will also look different, and local leaders will follow up with more details. Overall, we expect to reduce our team size by around 10,000 people and to close around 5,000 additional open roles that we haven't yet hired. + + + + + + This will be tough and there's no way around that. It will mean saying goodbye to talented and passionate colleagues who have been part of our success. They've dedicated themselves to our mission and I'm personally grateful for all their efforts. We will support people in the same ways we have before and treat everyone with the gratitude they deserve. + + + + + + After restructuring, we plan to lift hiring and transfer freezes in each group. Other relevant efficiency timelines include targeting this summer to complete our analysis from our hybrid work year of learning so we can further refine our distributed work model. We also aim to have a steady stream of developer productivity enhancements and process improvements throughout the year. + + + + + + As I've talked about efficiency this year, I've said that part of our work will involve removing jobs - and that will be in service of both building a leaner, more technical company and improving our business performance to enable our long term vision. I understand that this update may still feel surprising, so I'd like to lay out some broader context on our vision, our culture, and our operating philosophy. + + + + + + Building a Better Technology Company + + + + + + Every day Meta builds new ways for people to feel closer. This is a fundamental human need that may be more important in today's complex world than ever. One day we hope to enable every person to feel as strong a sense of connection as you feel when you're physically with someone you love. + + + + + + We do leading work across a wide range of advanced technologies and then distill that into inspiring products that improve people's lives. We do this with AI to help you creatively express yourself and discover new content, with the metaverse to deliver a realistic sense of presence, with new media formats to create richer experiences, with encryption to let you communicate privately in more and more ways, and with business tools to help reach customers, create opportunity and grow the economy. + + + + + + + + + + + + Simply put: if you want to invent the future or apply the best ideas to reach people at the greatest scale, then Meta is the best place to do that. + + + + + + With that in mind, here are some of the cultural principles that are guiding our efficiency work towards making Meta an even stronger technology company: + + + + + + Flatter is faster + + + + + + It's well-understood that every layer of a hierarchy adds latency and risk aversion in information flow and decision-making. Every manager typically reviews work and polishes off some rough edges before sending it further up the chain. + + + + + + In our Year of Efficiency, we will make our organization flatter by removing multiple layers of management. As part of this, we will ask many managers to become individual contributors. We'll also have individual contributors report into almost every level - not just the bottom - so information flow between people doing the work and management will be faster. + + + + + + Of course, there are tradeoffs. We still believe managing each person is very important, so in general we don't want managers to have more than 10 direct reports. Today many of our managers have only a few direct reports. That made sense to optimize for ramping up new managers and maintaining buffer capacity when we were growing our organization faster, but now that we don't expect to grow headcount as quickly, it makes more sense to fully utilize each manager's capacity and defragment layers as much as possible. + + + + + + Leaner is better + + + + + + Since we reduced our workforce last year, one surprising result is that many things have gone faster. In retrospect, I underestimated the indirect costs of lower priority projects. + + + + + + It's tempting to think that a project is net positive as long as it generates more value than its direct costs. But that project needs a leader, so maybe we take someone great from another team or maybe we take a great engineer and put them into a management role, which both diffuses talent and creates more management layers. That project team needs space, and maybe it tips its overall product group into splitting across multiple floors or multiple time zones, which now makes communication harder for everyone. That project team needs laptops and HR benefits and may want to recruit more engineers, so that leads us to hire even more IT, HR and recruiting people, and now those orgs grow and become less efficient and responsive to higher priority teams as well. Maybe the project has overlap with work on another team or maybe it built a bespoke technical system when it should have used general infrastructure we'd already built, so now it will take leadership focus to deduplicate that effort. Indirect costs compound and it's easy to underestimate them. + + + + + + A leaner org will execute its highest priorities faster. People will be more productive, and their work will be more fun and fulfilling.We will become an even greater magnet for the most talented people. That's why in our Year of Efficiency, we are focused on canceling projects that are duplicative or lower priority and making every organization as lean as possible. + + + + + + Keep technology the main thing + + + + + + We are a technology company, and our ultimate output is what we build for people. Everything else we do is in service of that. + + + + + + As we've grown, we've hired many leading experts in areas outside engineering. This helps us build better products, but with many new teams it takes intentional focus to make sure our company remains primarily technologists. + + + + + + As we add different groups, our product teams naturally hire more roles to handle all the interactions with those other groups. If we only rebalanced the product teams towards engineering, those leaner product teams would be overwhelmed by the volume of interactions from other groups. + + + + + + As part of the Year of Efficiency, we're focusing on returning to a more optimal ratio of engineers to other roles. It's important for all groups to get leaner and more efficient to enable our technology groups to get as lean and efficient as possible. We will make sure we continue to meet all our critical and legal obligations as we find ways to operate more efficiently. + + + + + + + + + + + + Invest in tools to get more efficient + + + + + + We're focused on the long term. That means investing in tools that will make us most effective over many years, not just this year - whether that's building AI tools to help engineers write better code faster, enabling us to automate workloads over time, or identifying obsolete processes that we can phase out. + + + + + + Our developer tooling work is underway and seeing good results. For example, Buck2 is our new open source build system that compiles builds around 50% faster so engineers can spend more time iterating and less time waiting. Our analysis found that engineers whose builds were sped up by Buck2 often produced meaningfully more code. + + + + + + In-person time helps build relationships and get more done + + + + + + We're committed to distributed work. That means we're also committed to continuously refining our model to make this work as effectively as possible. + + + + + + Our early analysis of performance data suggests that engineers who either joined Meta in-person and then transferred to remote or remained in-person performed better on average than people who joined remotely. This analysis also shows that engineers earlier in their career perform better on average when they work in-person with teammates at least three days a week. This requires further study, but our hypothesis is that it is still easier to build trust in person and that those relationships help us work more effectively. + + + + + + As part of our Year of Efficiency, we're focusing on understanding this further and finding ways to make sure people build the necessary connections to work effectively. In the meantime, I encourage all of you to find more opportunities to work with your colleagues in person. + + + + + + Improving Business Performance in a Difficult Economic Environment + + + + + + In addition to helping us build a better technology company, our other goal for the Year of Efficiency is to improve our business performance given the new economic reality. Profitability enables innovation. Operating our business more efficiently will give us the resources and confidence to achieve our long term vision by delivering sustainable financial results that make us an attractive company to work at and invest in. + + + + + + When I wrote my first letter to investors during our IPO, I described a basic principle that is still true today: "we don't build services to make money; we make money to build better services." + + + + + + For most of our history, we saw rapid revenue growth year-after-year and had the resources to invest in many new products. But last year was a humbling wake-up call. The world economy changed, competitive pressures grew, and our growth slowed considerably. We scaled back budgets, shrunk our real estate footprint, and made the difficult decision to lay off 13% of our workforce. + + + + + + At this point, I think we should prepare ourselves for the possibility that this new economic reality will continue for many years. Higher interest rates lead to the economy running leaner, more geopolitical instability leads to more volatility, and increased regulation leads to slower growth and increased costs of innovation. Given this outlook, we'll need to operate more efficiently than our previous headcount reduction to ensure success. + + + + + + In the face of this new reality, most companies will scale back their long term vision and investments. But we have the opportunity to be bolder and make decisions that other companies can't. So we put together a financial plan that enables us to invest heavily in the future while also delivering sustainable results as long as we run every team more efficiently. The changes we're making will enable us to meet this financial plan. + + + + + + I believe that we are working on some of the most transformative technology our industry has ever seen. Our single largest investment is in advancing AI and building it into every one of our products. We have the infrastructure to do this at unprecedented scale and I think the experiences it enables will be amazing. Our leading work building the metaverse and shaping the next generation of computing platforms also remains central to defining the future of social connection. And our apps are growing and continuing to connect almost half of the world's population in new ways. This work is incredibly important and the stakes are high. The financial plan we've set out puts us in position to deliver it. + + + + + + + + + + + + Looking Ahead + + + + + + I recognize that sharing plans for restructuring and layoffs months in advance creates a challenging period. But last fall, we heard feedback that you wanted more transparency sooner into any restructuring plans, so that's what I'm trying to provide here. I hope that giving you a timeline and principles for what to expect will help us get through the next couple of months and then move forward as we implement these changes that I believe will have a very positive impact on how we work. + + + + + + In terms of how we should operate during this period, I encourage each of you to focus on what you can control. That is, do great work and support your teammates. Our community is extremely resilient. Change is never easy, but I know we'll get through this and come out an even stronger company that can build better products faster and enable you to do the best work of your careers. + + + + + + This post contains forward-looking statements regarding our future business plans and expectations.

And with longer-running global banking sagas exposed by the events of the past week, nerves were jangled again on Wednesday as Credit Suisse shares dropped by as much as 10.5% to a new record low, as its largest investor said it couldn't give the Swiss bank more financial assistance. After bank stocks rebounded somewhat on Tuesday, despite Moody's downgrading the credit outlook for the entire U.S. banking system, attention turned to tighter regulation and workouts for the worst affected firms.The Federal Reserve is considering tougher rules and oversight for midsize banks similar in size to Silicon Valley Bank, which collapsed suddenly last week. Strengthened rules on banks in the $100 billion to $250 billion range could ape those for larger more systemic banks and involve stringent capital and liquidity requirements or beefed up annual "stress tests".Even though reports abounded of depositor flight from the smaller weaker banks to the larger financial firms, stock prices in the sector at large caught a breath. That continued in Asia on Wednesday, although Europe's bank stocks and wider bourses stayed in the red and U.S. futures were a touch lower. The VIX equity volatility gauge hugged Tuesday's close at 23.Apart from fresh Credit Suisse angst, another reason for the persistent trepidation in Europe was signals from central bank sources that the European Central Bank would push ahead with a hefty half-point interest rate rise at its policymaking meeting on Thursday. If the ECB stays the course and the Fed follows suit next week, anxiety about further banking ructions may return - or at least see further wild volatility in rates markets that could end up having similar effects. U.S. Treasury market volatility is already at its highest since the aftermath of the last big banking crash in 2009, with the biggest drop since 1987 in 2-year Treasury yields on Monday followed by the biggest one-day jump in 14 years on Tuesday.On Wednesday, 2-year yields settled about 4.3% - still 80 basis points lower than they were a week ago, but up half a point from Tuesday's trough. Futures markets now see an 80% chance of a quarter-point Fed hike next week to a 4.75-5.0% range, with a 'terminal rate' at 5% in May.The dollar was slightly higher as rates recalibrated.Chinese industrial and retail updates for February showed the post-COVID lockdown recovery underway but at an underwhelming pace.Sterling was steady at investors awaited the Spring UK budget, with bumper tax receipts allowing finance minister Jeremy Hunt to offer some relief to pensions and childcare while extending critical energy price supports.With widespread trepidation about the impact of the SVB collapse on the U.S. tech sector at large, Facebook-parent Meta said on Tuesday it would cut 10,000 jobs this year, making it the first Big Tech company to announce a second round of mass layoffs as the industry braces for a deep economic downturn.Apple supplier Foxconn said on Wednesday it expected smart consumer electronics demand would decline slightly this year, as it reported a 10% fall in fourth-quarter net profit from a year earlier.In more upbeat tech news, startup OpenAI said it is beginning to release a powerful artificial intelligence model known as GPT-4, with image as well as text prompts in searches.Key developments that may provide direction to U.S. markets later on Wednesday:* US Feb retail sales and producer prices, US March NAHB housing market index, Empire State manufacturing survey, Jan business inventories. * UK government's Spring budget* US corp earnings: Adobe (By Mike Dolan, editing by Elaine Hardcastle; mike.dolan@thomsonreuters.com.

South Korea's Samsung launched products to meet those aspirations and offered innovative financing schemes that made them affordable to most. Those moves have helped Samsung wrest leadership of India's competitive mobile phones market from Xiaomi, with data from Hong Kong-based Counterpoint Research showing it had a 20% market share for the last quarter of 2022 compared to the Chinese company's 18%."The Indian market is witnessing a 'premiumisation' trend. (But) Xiaomi has been caught underprepared for the shift with a budget phones-heavy portfolio," said Tarun Pathak, a research director at Counterpoint.The loosening of Xiaomi's vice-like grip on the 626 million Indian smartphone users - the second biggest after China - shows how companies that fail to cater to changing consumer preferences in a fast-growing economy with rising disposable incomes are being punished.Most famously in India, Tata Motors' 100,000 rupees ($1,200) Nano, billed as the world's cheapest car, was shunned by consumers who associated the low price tag with inferior quality.Indians' push for more expensive mobile phones to consume videos and other content will also benefit social media app providers such as Meta, and iPhone maker Apple Inc, which so far has a tiny market share in the country due to its sole focus on high-end phones, priced from $605 to as high as $2,304, according to its website.According to Counterpoint, the market share of the sub-$120 phones in India fell to 26% in 2022 from 41% two years ago. And premium phones - priced above 30,000 ($360) - saw their share double to 11% in the same period.Xiaomi and Samsung both count India as a key growth market, with smartphones their top selling electronic device. The Chinese company recorded total revenue of $4.8 billion in 2021-22 in India, while Samsung registered $10.3 billion in sales, of which $6.7 billion came from smartphones.Xiaomi, though, is already facing heat in India due to the departures of at least five senior executives, and increased government scrutiny amid frosty relations with neighbouring China. The company has $674 million of its funds frozen by the country's financial crime agency for alleged illegal remittances to foreign entities, which Xiaomi denies.A Reuters check on product listings on Xiaomi's website showed the mismatch between consumer needs and the products the company has been offering. Xiaomi showed six smartphones priced above $360, compared with Samsung's 16. Under $120, Samsung had seven models, while Xiaomi listed 39 - most of which were shown to be out-of-stock.And premium phones accounted for only 0%-1% of Xiaomi's total India phone shipments in the last two years, when Samsung's higher-end phones more than doubled their share to 13%, Counterpoint data showed.But Xiaomi, which has acknowledged it introduced "too many" models in the past, is revamping its product line-up to focus on premium smartphones.It launched in January the Redmi Note 12 whose top-end variant is priced above 30,000 rupees, and more recently the Xiaomi 13 Pro at 79,999 rupees ($970) - its highest priced phone in India. The strategic shift seems to have paid immediate dividends, with the Redmi Note 12 clocking sales of $61 million within two weeks of its launch."We have laid out a streamlined and cleaner portfolio with a focused approach to building expertise in the premium segment, and the launch of our latest flagship, Xiaomi 13 Pro, is a step in that direction," said its India President Muralikrishnan B. "We understand that we have a long way to go in this journey, and therefore are bringing in much stronger products." Graphic: How Samsung gained India's market leader crown https://www.reuters.com/graphics/INDIA-SMARTPHONES/SAMSUNG-XIAOMI/movakqajjva/Xiaomi_vs_Samsung_Final.jpgLOANS FOR PHONESA Samsung scheme, run with its financing partners that says it offers "convenient and assured" loans, played a significant part in its recent success in India, helping generate $1 billion in device sales last year. A poster of Samsung's offering that Reuters spotted on a dusty street used by fruit sellers in Uttar Pradesh state said that even those with no loan history, low credit scores or without salary slips could get a phone. Sanjeev Kumar Verma, owner of a nearby multi-brand phone shop, has benefitted from the company's loan scheme. Speaking to Reuters in his shop, where hundreds of phones are stacked on shelves, Verma said he used to sell five Samsung phones each month, but has quadrupled that to 20 now, 18 of which are via the loan scheme.Verma, and another smartphone vendor in Mumbai, said that unlike rivals, Samsung required no local address proof, making it easier for migrant workers or those working outside their home state to acquire phones on loans. Samsung did not comment on the remarks by the vendors.The growth in premium segment phones was much higher in small towns than in big cities, Samsung's India mobile unit head Raju Pullan told Reuters in February, adding almost half the consumers who opted for its financing scheme were first-time loan seekers.Samsung says its financing app installed on smartphones can lock the device and block outgoing calls for missing loan payments.Xiaomi has also tapped partnerships to offer loans, calling them a key growth driver for sales of phones priced above 15,000 rupees ($183) and adding it will explore more such offerings.Muralikrishnan said the company will also open more stores beyond its current network of 20,000 retail partners, and boost local procurement of mobile phone parts, likely reducing costs.Some industry analysts said the new strategy could help the Chinese company return to solid growth in India. "Xiaomi has historically enjoyed a strong brand equity, has a robust online and offline channel presence, and can spring a comeback with a potentially strong premium and value-for-money product mix," said Prabhu Ram, head of industry intelligence at CyberMedia Research.

The gatekeepers - companies that control data and platform access - are subject to a list of do's, such as making their messaging services interoperable, and don'ts, including not favouring their products and services on their platforms.The list of gatekeepers to which the DMA will apply is due to be announced on Sept. 6 and will likely include Alphabet's Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.Those disagreeing with the label and requirements are likely to take their complaint to the Luxembourg-based General Court within months, its president Marc van der Woude said. The General Court is part of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and deals with cases ranging from competition law to trade and the environment. "Probably the end of this year, beginning of next year we might see the first cases and I don't think it will stop," he told a conference organised by the European Commission.Some, like Google and Apple, have lobbied intensively against the DMA. "We remain concerned that some provisions of the DMA will create unnecessary privacy and security vulnerabilities for our users while others will prohibit us from charging for intellectual property in which we invest a great deal," it said in March 2022.Google has echoed those sentiments, and said it was also concerned that the new rules could reduce innovation.But van der Woude said the DMA was still evolving. "It's a living organism, this DMA, it's under constant review, obligations will be reviewed and implementing acts. So if I might call it like this, it will be a lawyer's paradise," he said.He said areas of dispute will likely focus on the gatekeeper designation, specifications of their obligations and during enforcement of the DMA.A contentious area is likely to be the requirement on gatekeepers to notify their acquisitions to the Commission and whether such deals meet the threshold for regulatory scrutiny, van der Woude said.($1 = 0.9403 euros) (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)By Foo Yun Chee \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/META/2023.03.17/Trump returns to Facebook.txt b/news/META/2023.03.17/Trump returns to Facebook.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..e7f70a627ff992484e0ac76bf45ec0491df72958 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/META/2023.03.17/Trump returns to Facebook.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Meta Platforms, which owns Facebook and Instagram, announced on Jan. 25 that it would reinstate Trump's access to his accounts, saying the public should be allowed to hear from politicians, but that Trump would be subject to "heightened penalties" for repeated violations of its rules. The former president was suspended for praising rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Despite Trump's reinstatement, it had been unclear whether he would post on the accounts. Facebook and Instagram are key vehicles for reaching voters and fundraising and could give a boost to Trump, who will make another run for the presidency in 2024.

In a blog post, Meta said it updated its protocols on moderating public figures during times of civil unrest. Under the protocol, Meta said it may restrict the distribution of a Trump post that doesn't violate its rules but "contributes to the sort of risk that materialized on Jan. 6."A restriction would mean the posts would remain available on Trump's profile, but would not be distributed in users' feeds, even if they follow Trump, Meta said. The company said it could also prevent the posts from being reshared or run as paid ads. Ad buyers previously told Reuters that Trump's reinstatement was unlikely to change how brands advertise on the platforms, but it reinforced long-standing concerns about how Meta prevents ads from appearing next to certain content.

It did not give further details.Chinese censors have in the past targeted the film's main character, originally conceptualised by English author A.A. Milne, due to memes that compare the bumbling bear to President Xi Jinping.The comparisons began in 2013 when Xi visited the United States and met his then counterpart Barack Obama and some online commentators seized on their likeness to Pooh and Tigger.Some people have used the image of Pooh to signal dissent.Hong Kong's government did not immediately respond to a request for comment. A ticket-booking link on its Facebook page brought up a message saying ticketing was temporarily unavailable. Moviematic, which had organised a screening of the film for Tuesday evening, reported the cancellation on its social media page earlier in the day and cited technical reasons for the cancellation. A new censorship law in the former British colony came into effect in 2021. Some films have been prevented from being shown in the Chinese special administrative region.The city's censorship law bars films that "endorse, support, glorify, encourage and incite activities that might endanger national security".Beijing imposed a national security law on Hong Kong in 2020 after the city was rocked by anti-government protests. The law sets out punishment for anything deemed subversion, secession, colluding with foreign forces and terrorism.Two films were dropped from Hong Kong's international film festival last year after failing to get approval from authorities. The cancellation comes as Hong Kong hosts the Art Basel contemporary art fair with authorities keen to promote the city as a vibrant cultural hub.

[L8N35S34A]While the industry expects an agreement by the end of the year, there are concerns that the complexity and the lack of progress could delay the legislation to next year, and European elections could see MEPs with an entirely different set of priorities take office."The pace at which new systems are being released makes regulation a real challenge," said Daniel Leufer, a senior policy analyst at rights group Access Now. "It's a fast-moving target, but there are measures that remain relevant despite the speed of development: transparency, quality control, and measures to assert their fundamental rights."BRISK DEVELOPMENTSLawmakers are working through the more than 3,000 tabled amendments, covering everything from the creation of a new AI office to the scope of the Act's rules."Negotiations are quite complex because there are many different committees involved," said Brando Benifei, an Italian MEP and one of the two lawmakers leading negotiations on the bloc's much-anticipated AI Act. "The discussions can be quite long. You have to talk to some 20 MEPs every time."Legislators have sought to strike a balance between encouraging innovation while protecting citizens' fundamental rights.This led to different AI tools being classified according to their perceived risk level: from minimal through to limited, high, and unacceptable. High-risk tools won't be banned, but will require companies to be highly transparent in their operations.But these debates have left little room for addressing aggressively expanding generative AI technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion that have swept across the globe, courting both user fascination and controversy. By February, ChatGPT, made by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, set a record for the fastest growing user base of any consumer application app in history.Almost all of the big tech players have stakes in the sector, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta.BIG TECH, BIG PROBLEMSThe EU discussions have raised concerns for companies -- from small startups to Big Tech -- on how regulations might affect their business and whether they would be at a competitive disadvantage against rivals from other continents.Behind the scenes, Big Tech companies, who have invested billions of dollars in the new technology, have lobbied hard to keep their innovations outside the ambit of the high-risk clarification that would mean more compliance, more costs and more accountability around their products, sources said.A recent survey by industry body appliedAI showed that 51% of the respondents expect a slowdown of AI development activities as a result of the AI Act.To address tools like ChatGPT, which have seemingly endless applications, lawmakers introduced yet another category, "General Purpose AI Systems" (GPAIS), to describe tools that can be adapted to perform a number of functions. It remains unclear if all GPAIS will be deemed high-risk.Representatives from tech companies have pushed back against such moves, insisting their own in-house guidelines are robust enough to ensure the technology is deployed safely, and even suggesting the Act should have an opt-in clause, under which firms can decide for themselves whether the regulations apply.DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD?Google-owned AI firm DeepMind, which is currently testing its own AI chatbot Sparrow, told Reuters the regulation of multi-purpose systems was complex."We believe the creation of a governance framework around GPAIS needs to be an inclusive process, which means all affected communities and civil society should be involved," said Alexandra Belias, the firm's head of international public policy.She added: "The question here is: how do we make sure the risk-management framework we create today will still be adequate tomorrow?"Daniel Ek, chief executive of audio streaming platform Spotify - which recently launched its own "AI DJ", capable of curating personalised playlists - told Reuters the technology was "a double-edged sword"."There's lots of things that we have to take into account," he said. "Our team is working very actively with regulators, trying to make sure that this technology benefits as many as possible and is as safe as possible."MEPs say the Act will be subject to regular reviews, allowing for updates as and when new issues with AI emerge. But, with European elections on the horizon in 2024, they are under pressure to deliver something substantial the first time around."Discussions must not be rushed, and compromises must not be made just so the file can be closed before the end of the year," said Leufer. "People's rights are at stake."

A Meta spokesperson confirmed Levy's departure and said business messaging would remain a strategic priority and area of investment for the company this year.Levy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Levy has been at Meta for 14 years. The business messaging project he heads has been flagged by Zuckerberg for growth potential, although he was replaced last year as overall head of ad and business products.Previously, Levy ran Meta's ads and business products division, now called Monetization. He was replaced in that role last year by John Hegeman, another long-time executive who had managed ads product under Levy and, in his new role, became Levy's boss.That larger unit oversaw Meta's adaptation to Apple Inc's iOS privacy changes in 2021, a costly disruption that cut Meta's access to the valuable user data around which it had built its targeted advertising business.The division has tried to build in-app commerce features to make up for that "signal loss," while also using artificial intelligence to improve ad targeting precision, with mixed success.Executives see business messaging as another part of the solution, as it could finally monetize the popular chat app WhatsApp, which Meta bought for $22 billion in 2014 but has yet to produce significant revenue.Zuckerberg has said the business line - in which brands pay to use Meta's WhatsApp, Messenger and Instagram chat services to sell products and manage customer interactions - is likely to be the company's "next major pillar" of sales growth.Levy's departure comes amid a difficult season for Meta, which last week announced a second major round of layoffs tied to a restructuring plan to kill off lower-priority projects and "flatten" layers of middle management.Another ads VP on the sales side, Michelle Klein, also announced this week that she was leaving. She led a marketing unit of around 1,000 people and steered the company's rebranding from Facebook to Meta, according to her LinkedIn profile.Meta likewise confirmed her departure.

The decision comes after a chaotic couple of weeks for the US banking sector, triggered by the failures of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank.The collapses caused a crisis of confidence, with many customers of similarly sized banks withdrawing their money and depositing it in larger institutions – considered too big for the government not to bail them out if they faced failure.On Tuesday, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen told a lenders' conference that US banking sector is "stabilizing". She said "outflows from regional banks have stabilized" following authorities' moves to shore up confidence and stem contagion.New York ended higher on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up 1.0%, the S&P 500 up 1.3% and the Nasdaq Composite up 1.6%.

Just one month after the FTC's settlement with, and $1.5 million fine imposed on, GoodRx for violations of the Health Breach Notification Rule (HBNR) and Section 5 of the FTC Act, on March 2, the FTC announced a $7.8 million fine and proposed consent order with BetterHelp, Inc. for alleged violations of Section 5 of the FTC Act.Specifically, the FTC alleged that, among other things, BetterHelp shared customers' sensitive health data with third parties such as Facebook and Snapchat for advertising purposes, contrary to online representations the company made to customers. In its complaint, the FTC asserted that these alleged misrepresentations amounted to violations of Section 5 of the FTC Act, which broadly prohibits unfair and deceptive practices harmful to consumers. Although the FTC did not allege that BetterHelp shared customers' medical records per se, the FTC alleged that BetterHelp uploaded personal health information in the form of the email addresses of all of its current and former clients to Facebook, so that Facebook could identify similarly situated consumers and target them with advertisements for BetterHelp's mental health services - which allegedly brought tens of thousands of new customers and millions of dollars of revenue to the company. Although the email addresses shared with Facebook were hashed (i.e., represented cryptographically with a sequence of letters and numbers that masked the underlying data), according to the FTC's complaint, BetterHelp knew Facebook would be able to undo the hashing to uncover the email addresses of individuals who visited the BetterHelp site for mental health counseling. In its press release, the FTC underscored that hashing "won't protect the privacy of consumers' information if third parties can un-hash the data," and stated that "personal information" may be "health information" simply due to the nature of the product or service (e.g., an email address is considered health information when the source of that email is an online health service).Under the proposed consent order, BetterHelp must, among other things, (1) pay a fine of $7.8 million to be used to provide partial refunds to allegedly harmed customers (making this case the first FTC action to return funds to consumers whose health data was allegedly compromised); (2) cease sharing (a) identifiable information relating to the mental health of a consumer with any party for advertising purposes and (b) personal information with any party for the purpose of targeting the consumer to which the disclosed information pertains; (3) obtain affirmative, express consent before sharing any consumer's personal information with a third party; (4) direct third parties to delete the consumer health and other personal information that BetterHelp revealed to them; (5) limit how long the company retains personal and health information; and (6) put in place a comprehensive privacy program that includes strong safeguards to protect consumer data. The FTC warned in its press release, "[l]et this proposed order be a stout reminder that the FTC will prioritize defending Americans' sensitive data from illegal exploitation."The FTC's back-to-back enforcement actions against GoodRx and BetterHelp underscore the FTC's commitment to protecting consumer health information and filling in perceived gaps to protect patient privacy when HIPAA doesn't apply. Organizations that deal with identifiable health information outside the scope of HIPAA therefore can expect that their privacy notices, as well as the manner in which they handle and share consumer health information, increasingly will be subject to FTC scrutiny. The FTC will be seeking to determine, among other things, if companies handling personal health information have sufficient policies and procedures to protect the information, including but not limited to technical, administrative, and physical safeguards to secure the information; restrictions on sharing of the information; and mechanisms to timely provide consumers with appropriate access to and control over their personal information. These compliance responsibilities call for companies' vigilance in evaluating and improving their privacy and data security practices and programs, as well as their records retention and information governance policies and procedures to ensure that their practices are reasonable, sufficiently protective, transparent, and consistent with any statements made to consumers or the public generally.For questions about compliance with Section 5 of the FTC Act or other data privacy and protection issues, contact the authors or any of their colleagues in Arnold & Porter's Privacy, Cybersecurity & Data Strategy practice group.The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

The court did not specify what the posts said. Neither Yim Sinorn or Hun Kosal nor their legal representatives could immediately be reached for comment. Yim Sinorn later posted on Facebook that he had deleted what he wrote about the king and Hun Kosal said he respected the king and would promote the royal family. Hun Sen in comments on his official Facebook page about the arrests and before the men were charged said: "This is an insulting act that cannot be tolerated or excused." He said the men should never be forgiven, while denying that his remarks were aimed at pressuring the court.Cambodia's lese majeste law was unanimously adopted by parliament in 2018. Rights groups expressed concerns at the time that the law, which is similar to legislation in neighboring Thailand, could be used to silence government critics.The CNRP was banned ahead of a 2018 election that was swept by Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party (CPP).CNRP has since been decimated, with many of its members arrested or fleeing into exile in what activists say is a sweeping crackdown designed to thwart challenges to the CPP's power monopoly.Kem Sokha, who once headed CNRP, was sentenced on March 3 to 27 years of house arrest after being found guilty of treason, in a case condemned by the United States as politically motivated.He had denied the charges he was conspiring with the United States to overthrow Hun Sen, who has ruled Cambodia for nearly four decades.

Yes, that's a bullish presumption, but it's justified by recognizing how the groundwork completed in 2022 has set MYNZ up for a potentially transformative 2023. Current valuations might be fair if there were no forward-looking considerations, but that isn't the case. In fact, while the intrinsics in the MYNZ portfolio are impressive, the inherent value in play from a forward-looking perspective exposes a valuation disconnect worth considering.And taking advantage of the gap sooner than later may be timely. That's because MYNZ has shifted into a period of hyper-growth, with several investor updates indicating that its mission to grow revenues from molecular genetics and cancer diagnostics assets is accelerating. In fact, while 2022 was a pivotal growth year, Mainz has not slowed its expansion pace so far in 2023 and is moving closer to exploiting the full potential of a diagnostics and screens portfolio that may earn best-in-class designations.In turn, and considering they are expected to deliver at least two critical updates during the first half of 2023, the path of least resistance for its shares could be paved higher.2022 Was A Year Of Milestones ReachedThat bullish sentiment is justified considering that MYNZ is nourishing plenty of value drivers, including launching its U.S.-based eAArly DETECT study to evaluate the performance of its mRNA biomarkers in identifying Advance Adenomas (AA), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to colorectal cancer (CRC). The first patient has been enrolled, and an update on that trial is expected before the end of Q2.They also initiated ReconAAsense, a U.S. Pivotal Clinical Study with its CRC screening test. Enrollment for that study is expected to commence in mid-2023. They did much more, including the continued execution of its differentiated business model of partnering with third-party laboratories for test kit processing versus the traditional methodology of operating a single facility. In addition, MYNZ ramped up international commercial activities for ColoAlert, its highly efficacious and easy-to-use detection test for CRC, with at least five new lab partners in Germany and Italy. That's still not all.Expertly managed, MYNZ initiated and commenced patient enrollment in ColoFuture, a European study evaluating integrating a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers into ColoAlert, which could potentially enable the screening test to identify advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to CRC. Results from this study are also expected in 1H/2023.Consider the following if that wasn't enough to show MYNZ is hitting its stride: they achieved multiple preclinical milestones supporting the continued development of PancAlert, a potential first-in-class screening test for pancreatic cancer, acquired a portfolio of novel mRNA biomarkers to upgrade ColoAlert's technical profile to achieve "gold standard" status for AA and CRC at-home testing, and successfully completed a $25.8 million public follow-on offering.MYNZ Has Momentum Entering 2023The combined value of those initiatives can be tremendous; frankly, success from any of them can be transformative to revenue growth. But with several in play, perhaps the best analysis suggests that MYNZ is in its strongest position ever to create sustainable shareholder value, including that accrued from overseas market opportunities and those inherent to ongoing product development programs. Put simply, MYNZ entered 2023 with a significant operations tailwind to advance its mission of becoming a leading provider of cancer-focused early detection and disease prevention molecular diagnostics.Considerable progress toward that goal is being made. Last month, Mainz Biomed announced executing its option from Uni Targeting Research AS to acquire all of the previously licensed scientific intellectual property ("IP") for its flagship product ColoAlert. That deal makes this highly productive and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer being commercialized across Europe a wholly-owned asset. Simultaneously, Mainz exercised its exclusive option with SOCPRA Sciences Sante et Humaines S.E.C. to outright purchase IP, including a pending patent, associated with a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers that have demonstrated the ability to detect CRC lesions, including advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to this deadly disease.The value inherent to that deal should not be undervalued or under-appreciated. In addition to being an immediate value driver from an existing market perspective, it allows MYNZ to more aggressively execute its commercial strategy and product development plans intending to bring to market what the company describes as the gold-standard CRC self-administered diagnostic test. Better still, MYNZ can earn more money since securing complete IP ownership expedites the company's growth strategy, streamlines administration, reduces per-test expenses, and allows MYNZ to ramp up corporate development activities.Strengthening Revenue Streams With ColoAlertNotably, MYNZ's recent deal adds to existing revenue streams. Mainz Biomed is already commercializing ColoAlert across Europe and in select international markets through partnerships with third-party laboratories for test kit processing. The terms are accretive to MYNZ's mission: Mainz Biomed provides ColoAlert to the respective labs, including co-branding with key accounts, whereby each facility purchases Mainz Biomed's customized polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") assay kits on an on-demand basis. That reach extends to those facilities' respective networks of physicians and patients, which by using ColoAlert, offers a comprehensive solution for advanced CRC detection.Mainz is doing more to create value. They are also evaluating the mRNA biomarkers acquired from SOCPRA in ColoFuture and eAArly DETECT, an international multi-center clinical study (US and Europe) assessing the potential for integrating the mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert. This particular portfolio of mRNA biomarkers selected by Mainz Biomed was based on work in the field by the University of Sherbrooke, where researchers tested multiple novel transcriptional biomarkers using colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous lesion samples.Results from these studies demonstrated that the mRNA targets chosen by the company provided a dynamic combination of sensitivity and specificity of detection. The ColoFuture study (extended into the US as eAArly DETECT) is evaluating the effectiveness of these biomarkers to enhance ColoAlert's technical profile to expand its capability to identify AA while increasing ColoAlert's rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. As noted, ColoFuture's eAArly DETECT study is on track to complete enrollment in the first quarter of 2023, with results reported in the first half of 2023. That milestone, once reached, could become a catalyst.Keep in mind that studying mRNA biomarkers is a hot sector. Both Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) are spending enormous sums appraising their value in a new generation of medicine. MYNZ is also in the game, noting that the outcome of its eAArly DETECT study will inform its decision of whether to integrate the biomarkers into the ReconAAsense study, which is on track to enroll patients in the summer of 2023. The results from that study are planned to be reported in 2025 and will form the basis of the data package to be reviewed by the FDA to achieve marketing authorization. There's more to like.Also, in February, MYNZ announced additional commercial partnerships for ColoAlert with Marylebone Laboratory and Instituto de Microecologia, two leading independent laboratories covering England and Spain. That deal will expand MYNZ's revenue-generating reach and target an addressable market in Spain estimated at 26 million patients and a London-region patient treatment opportunity of roughly 9 million individuals. Revenues from that deal could start to accrue quickly, as MYNZ says they are working on completing the necessary technical and co-marketing activities to ensure a successful commercial launch in these markets.A Bullish Proposition That Is Portfolio SupportedWhile parts of the MYNZ proposition justify investment consideration, the sum total can demand it. Even in the face of significant downside pressure on biotech stocks, MYNZ is showing strength, and that's not easy in the small-cap world of risk-off sentiment. Bouncing off lows could indicate buyers are waiting for shares, sitting on the bid, and content not to chase. But patience may run out, and MYNZ has shown that when the biotech bulls return, its stock can surge ahead of the averages. That could result from a management team proving to its investors that they know how to leverage a unique business model to advance its revenue-generating objectives and improve its best-in-class diagnostics.Furthermore, fundamentally, MYNZ is solid. They have a strong balance sheet, minimal debt, and a Who's Who executive and scientific team executing a plan to develop, market, and maximize value-generating opportunities. Thus, in many respects, meeting its objectives doesn't present an "if" proposition. Instead, the groundwork laid and plans to accelerate expose a "when" proposition. And for investors seeking value from a near-term news queue, the most plausible answer to "when" is sooner rather than later.Remember, guidance already puts potential catalysts on target, which, in turbulent markets, is an attractive feature that will be taken advantage of as its target release dates get closer. In other words, the MYNZ window of opportunity may not stay open much longer.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC. (STM, Llc.) is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

Shares dropped on Monday, possibly in sympathy with the Silicon Valley Bank (NASDAQ: SIVB) fiasco. However, while MYNZ does list a Berkeley, California connection on its byline, this company is primarily based in Germany. Thus, financial exposure, if any, is more of a distraction than an MYNZ-specific event. Moreover, its significance is outweighed by the planned data releases expected over the next 90 days.Remember, all deposits have been guaranteed by the U.S. Government and made available Monday morning. Hence, investors shouldn't expect disruption to cash flow, which is the lifeblood of biotech. In other words, everything at MYNZ has stayed the same. And with contagion the likely cause of its share price decline, paying attention to MYNZ's fundamentals and potential catalysts in the crosshairs exposes an opportunity worth seizing.A Bullish Set-Up For 1/H 2023Current MYNZ valuations might be appropriate if there were no forward-looking considerations. But that isn't the case. In fact, considering recent weakness, the value proposition has become more attractive, with intrinsic and inherent asset portfolio considerations supporting a correction to the upside. That bullish sentiment is justified.Market reactions to the SIVB situation aside, MYNZ is doing the right things at the right time. Furthermore, after successfully completing a $25.8 million public follow-on offering to fuel its initiatives, they are well-positioned to advance an impressive stable of molecular genetics and cancer diagnostics that can alter the diagnostics landscape. And with 2022 paving the way for a shift into hyper-growth, 2023 is expected to be the year when MYNZ scores exponential revenue growth from leveraging the full potential of a diagnostics and screens portfolio that could earn best-in-class designations. The better news is that several data set releases are expected in the first half of this year, which brings with them the potential for share prices to move appreciably higher.In play are three planned updates. The first relates to launching its U.S.-based eAArly DETECT study to evaluate the performance of its mRNA biomarkers in identifying Advance Adenomas (A.A.), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to colorectal cancer (C.R.C.). The first patient has been enrolled, and an update on that trial is expected before the end of Q2. Secondly, an update during 1/H 2023 is expected from its ColoFuture trial, a European study evaluating integrating a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers into ColoAlert, which could potentially enable the screening test to identify advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to C.R.C. Those two events can be significant near-term value drivers, noting that investors typically position ahead of such releases. But there's more to like.A third value driver could come through its ReconAAsense trial, a U.S. Pivotal Clinical Study with its C.R.C. screening test. Enrollment for that study is expected to commence in mid-2023. Singularly, updates from any of the above can move the valuation needle. Considering that all three intend to release data in the coming weeks, that move has the potential to be significant.A Differentiated Business ModelStill, that's only some of what to consider when appraising MYNZ. There is value inherent to its continued execution of its differentiated business model of partnering with third-party laboratories for test kit processing versus the traditional methodology of operating a single facility. In addition, MYNZ ramped up international commercial activities for ColoAlert, its highly efficacious and easy-to-use detection test for C.R.C., with at least five new lab partners in Germany and Italy. That's still more to like.MYNZ achieved multiple preclinical milestones supporting the continued development of PancAlert, a potential first-in-class screening test for pancreatic cancer, acquired a portfolio of novel mRNA biomarkers to upgrade ColoAlert's technical profile to achieve "gold standard" status for A.A. and C.R.C. at-home testing, and, as noted, shored up its finances with a completed $25.8 million capital raise.With ample cash to fund operations, MYNZ could be in its strongest position to create sustainable shareholder value, including that accrued from overseas market opportunities and those inherent to ongoing product development programs. More directly, while 2022 was a year of milestones reached, 2023 can be transformative, with MYNZ benefiting from an operations tailwind accelerating its mission of becoming a leading provider of cancer-focused early detection and disease prevention molecular diagnostics.Progress On Several FrontsProof of leveraging that momentum is exposed. Last month, Mainz Biomed announced executing its option from Uni Targeting Research AS to acquire all of the previously licensed scientific intellectual property ("I.P.") for its flagship product ColoAlert. That deal makes this highly productive and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer being commercialized across Europe a wholly-owned asset. Simultaneously, Mainz exercised its exclusive option with SOCPRA Sciences Sante et Humaines S.E.C. to outright purchase I.P., including a pending patent, associated with a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers that have demonstrated the ability to detect C.R.C. lesions, including advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to this deadly disease.The value inherent to that deal should be considered. In addition to being an immediate value driver from an existing market perspective, it allows MYNZ to aggressively execute its commercial strategy and product development plans intending to bring what the company describes as the gold-standard C.R.C. self-administered diagnostic test to market. Additionally, MYNZ can earn more money since securing complete I.P. ownership expedites the company's growth strategy, streamlines administration, reduces per-test expenses and allows MYNZ to ramp up corporate development activities. These initiatives add to existing revenue streams.Mainz Biomed is already commercializing ColoAlert across Europe and in select international markets through partnerships with third-party laboratories for test kit processing. The terms are accretive to MYNZ's mission: Mainz Biomed provides ColoAlert to the respective labs, including co-branding with key accounts, whereby each facility purchases Mainz Biomed's customized polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") assay kits on an on-demand basis. That reach extends to those facilities' respective networks of physicians and patients, which by using ColoAlert, offers a comprehensive solution for advanced C.R.C. detection.Enhancing Already Excellent AssetsMainz is doing more. They are also evaluating the mRNA biomarkers acquired from SOCPRA in ColoFuture and eAArly DETECT, an international multi-center clinical study (U.S. and Europe) assessing the potential for integrating the mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert. This particular portfolio of mRNA biomarkers selected by Mainz Biomed was based on work in the field by the University of Sherbrooke, where researchers tested multiple novel transcriptional biomarkers using colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous lesion samples.Results from these studies demonstrated that the mRNA targets chosen by the company provided a dynamic combination of sensitivity and specificity of detection. The ColoFuture study (extended into the U.S. as eAArly DETECT) is evaluating the effectiveness of these biomarkers to enhance ColoAlert's technical profile to expand its capability to identify A.A. while increasing ColoAlert's rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. As noted, ColoFuture's eAArly DETECT study is on track to complete enrollment in the first quarter of 2023, with results also expected in the first half of 2023. That milestone, once reached, could become a catalyst.Remember, too, that studying mRNA biomarkers is a hot sector. Both Pfizer (NYSE: P.F.E.) and Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) are investing considerable resources in appraising their value in a new generation of medicine. MYNZ is also in the game, noting that the outcome of its eAArly DETECT study will inform its decision of whether to integrate the biomarkers into the ReconAAsense study, which is on track to enroll patients in the summer of 2023. The results from that study are planned to be reported in 2025, forming the basis of the data package to be reviewed by the F.D.A. to achieve marketing authorization.Also, in February, MYNZ announced additional commercial partnerships for ColoAlert with Marylebone Laboratory and Instituto de Microecologia, two leading independent laboratories covering England and Spain. That deal will expand MYNZ's revenue-generating reach and target an addressable market in Spain estimated at 26 million patients and a London-region patient treatment opportunity of roughly 9 million individuals. Revenues from that deal could accrue quickly. MYNZ says they are working on completing the necessary technical and co-marketing activities to ensure a successful commercial launch in these markets.A Bullish Proposition That Is Portfolio SupportedAll told, while each asset is impressive, the sum of MYNZ's parts presents a valuation disconnect too good to ignore. And at current prices, investors may only get a short window of opportunity, which could close once investors realize that MYNZ is ideally positioned to accelerate its multi-pronged initiatives. Moreover, fundamentally, MYNZ is solid. They have a strong balance sheet, minimal debt, and a Who's Who executive and scientific team executing a plan to develop, market, and maximize value-generating opportunities.Thus, with MYNZ already expediting an ambitious agenda, they are less of an "if" than a "when" proposition regarding value drivers in the queue. And with the groundwork laid and guidance to expect three updates by the end of Q2, the question of "when" can be answered by the term: imminently. Remember, MYNZ guidance suggests that catalysts are more than a target; they are in the crosshairs. And with precedent showing MYNZ delivers as expected, taking advantage of a valuation disconnect ahead of updates may, therefore, be a wise and timely consideration.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

Human cases, however, remain very rare, and global health officials have said the risk of transmission between humans is still low.Executives at three vaccine manufacturers - GSK Plc Moderna Inc and CSL Seqirus, owned by CSL Ltd - told Reuters they are already developing or about to test sample human vaccines that better match the circulating subtype, as a precautionary measure against a future pandemic.Others, like Sanofi, said they "stand ready" to begin production if needed, with existing H5N1 vaccine strains in stock.There has also been a push among companies to develop a bird flu vaccine for poultry, a market potentially far larger than that for humans.Less reassuring, however, is that most of the potential human doses are earmarked for wealthy countries in long-standing preparedness contracts, global health experts and the companies said.Many countries' pandemic plans say flu shots should go first to the most vulnerable while supply is limited. But during COVID-19, many vaccine-rich countries inoculated large proportions of their populations before considering sharing doses."We could potentially have a much worse problem with vaccine hoarding and vaccine nationalism in a flu outbreak than we saw with COVID," said Dr Richard Hatchett, chief executive of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), which helps fund vaccine research.An international framework for pandemic flu allocates 10% of global supply for the World Health Organization to share with low- and middle-income countries. By contrast, the WHO is seeking guarantees of 20% global supply for other types of pandemic in the wake of COVID.The U.N. agency said it has signed legally binding agreements with 14 manufacturers for 10% of their pandemic flu vaccine "as it comes off the production line", in a mix of donated doses and doses to be bought by the agency at an affordable price. The agreements include six of the largest seasonal flu manufacturers, such as GSK, Sanofi and CSL Seqirus, the WHO said.WHO did not comment on the potential for vaccine hoarding in a flu pandemic but said mechanisms were being developed "so that countries can work together - not in competition with each other" to respond to such a crisis. It said it was "fully confident" manufacturers and member states would meet their obligations.   NEW APPROACHES    In a pandemic, vaccine manufacturers would shift production of seasonal flu vaccines and instead make shots tailored to the new outbreak when needed. They already have the capacity to make hundreds of millions of doses. Many of the potential pandemic shots are pre-approved by regulators, based on data from human trials showing the vaccines are safe and prompt an immune response, a process already used with seasonal flu vaccines. This means they might not require further human trials, even if they have to be tweaked to better match whichever strain does jump to humans. Data on how well the vaccines actually protect against infection would be gathered in real-time.In all, the WHO said there are close to 20 licensed vaccines against the broader H5 strain of flu. Existing antiviral treatments for people already infected will also help mitigate the impact.At the same time, moving to large-scale production of a more targeted shot could take months, the manufacturers said. Some potential shots use a traditional method, growing the virus used in the vaccines in chicken eggs over four to six months."Creating the first dose is the easiest," said Raja Rajaram, head of global medical strategy at CSL Seqirus. "The hardest is manufacturing in large quantities."Experts have long advocated for new approaches in developing vaccines, both for seasonal and pandemic flu. COVID proved the potential of mRNA technology to adapt more quickly to changing viruses because the vaccines use genetic information from the pathogen, rather than having to grow the virus itself.Moderna's mRNA vaccine research actually began with pandemic flu, and was modified for COVID, said Raffael Nachbagauer, executive director of infectious diseases at Moderna.The company plans to launch a small human trial of an mRNA pandemic flu vaccine tailored to the new avian influenza subtype in the first half of 2023, he said, adding Moderna could respond "very quickly" in an outbreak scenario. The results will be closely watched, as the data on Moderna's seasonal flu candidate was mixed. Nachbagauer said the company was mindful of the equity issue needing to be addressed but has no contracts yet."It would be premature to sign anything or commit to anything that we can't actually deliver on as of today," he said.

Last week, they announced another deal to expand the marketing reach of its flagship ColoAlert diagnostic. This one is with Germany-based Labor Staber, a leading diagnostics services lab with over 800 employees, including almost 100 medical specialists, biologists, chemists, and other academics from various disciplines. Under the terms of the deal, ColoAlert, a highly efficacious and easy-to-use at-home screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC), will be marketed through Labor Staber's extensive network of physicians and laboratories.From an investors standpoint, it can be considered as another accretive deal accelerating MYNZ's mission to save lives through the early detection of CRC, the third most common cancer globally, by increasing consumer access to affordable and reliable CRC screening tests like ColoAlert. While the deal is a near-term value driver, it's not the only one. MYNZ has entered multiple mutually beneficial partnerships with diagnostic labs that expedite revenue-generating potential from putting its PCR testing kits in the hands of highly professional laboratory networks.In other words, MYNZ is facilitating a business model that combines the strength of global marketing partnerships for a stated purpose: grow its consumer reach and create sustainable shareholder value.ColoAlert Is The Flagship Value DriverColoAlert, MYNZ's highly sensitive and user-friendly at-home colorectal cancer screening kit, is fueling recent growth. It's a non-invasive test that can indicate tumors as determined by analyzing tumor DNA and demonstrates better early detection than fecal occult blood tests (FOBT). In fact, based on PCR technology, ColoAlert detects more cases of colorectal cancer than other stool tests and allows for an earlier diagnosis, which is a driving factor in MYNZ's ability to attract marketing partnerships with independent companies throughout the EU to commercialize the best-in-class screen. But MYNZ isn't strictly focused on the market opportunities in the EU.They are seeking marketing approval in the US, noting that ColoAlert will be evaluated in the FDA-registration trial 'ReconAAsense.' Once approved in the US, MYNZ's commercial strategy is to establish scalable distribution through collaborative partner programs with regional and national laboratory service providers nationwide. It intends to leverage its proven business model to penetrate the massive income-producing markets inherent to US commercialization and distribution. A better test is needed, and MYNZ is answering that call.According to World Cancer Research Fund International, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer globally, with more than 1.9 million new cases reported in 2020. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends that screening with stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert should be conducted once every three years starting at age 45. Notably, while over 16.6 million colonoscopies are performed in the US annually, roughly one-third of residents aged 50-75 have never been screened for colon cancer. This gap in screening represents a $4.0B+ total market opportunity in the US, and MYNZ is seizing on that disconnect.Positioned To Accelerate Growth In 2023The company successfully completed a $25.8 million public follow-on offering to fuel its initiatives, positioning them ideally to advance its impressive stable of molecular genetics and cancer diagnostics that can alter the diagnostics landscape. The capital raise was accrued with a purpose, most notably preceding several data set releases expected in this year's first half. Each brings the potential to support an appreciable move higher for its share price.At least three updates are planned. The first relates to launching its U.S.-based eAArly DETECT study to evaluate the performance of its mRNA biomarkers in identifying Advance Adenomas (AA), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to colorectal cancer (CRC). The first patient has been enrolled, and an update on that trial is expected before the end of Q2. Secondly, an update during 1/H 2023 is expected from its ColoFuture trial, a European study evaluating integrating a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers into ColoAlert, which could potentially enable the screening test to identify advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to CRC Those two events can be significant near-term value drivers, noting that investors typically position ahead of such releases. But there's more to like.A third value driver could come through its ReconAAsense trial, a US Pivotal Clinical Study with its CRC screening test. Enrollment for that study is expected to commence in mid-2023. Singularly, updates from any of the above can move the valuation needle. Considering that all three intend to release data in the coming weeks, that move has the potential to be significant.A Differentiated Business Model Expedites GrowthThere's more to the MYNZ value proposition, created by its differentiated business model of partnering with third-party laboratories for test kit processing versus the traditional methodology of operating a single facility. It led to MYNZ ramping up international commercial activities for ColoAlert, now benefiting from at least five new lab partners in Germany and Italy. There's more to factor in.MYNZ achieved multiple preclinical milestones supporting the continued development of PancAlert, a potential first-in-class screening test for pancreatic cancer, acquired a portfolio of novel mRNA biomarkers to upgrade ColoAlert's technical profile to achieve "gold standard" status for AA and CRC at-home testing, and, as noted, can expedite its comprehensive mission after completing its $25.8 million capital raise.The sum of those parts puts MYNZ in its strongest position to create sustainable shareholder value, including that accrued from overseas market opportunities and those inherent to ongoing product development programs. More directly, while 2022 was a year of milestones reached, 2023 can be transformative, with MYNZ benefiting from an operations tailwind accelerating its goal of becoming a leading provider of cancer-focused early detection and disease prevention molecular diagnostics.Proving Its Portfolio ValueSteps toward reaching that goal continue. Last month, Mainz Biomed announced executing its option from Uni Targeting Research AS to acquire all of the previously licensed scientific intellectual property ("IP ") for its flagship product ColoAlert. That deal makes this highly productive and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer being commercialized across Europe a wholly-owned asset. Simultaneously, Mainz exercised its exclusive option with SOCPRA Sciences Sante et Humaines SEC to outright purchase IP, including a pending patent, associated with a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers that have demonstrated the ability to detect CRC lesions, including advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to this deadly disease.In addition to being an immediate value driver from an existing market perspective, it allows MYNZ to aggressively execute its commercial strategy and product development plans intending to bring what the company describes as the gold-standard CRC self-administered diagnostic test to market. Additionally, MYNZ can earn more money since securing complete IP ownership expedites the company's growth strategy, streamlines administration, reduces per-test expenses, and allows MYNZ to ramp up corporate development activities. These initiatives add to existing revenue streams.Remember, Mainz Biomed is already commercializing ColoAlert across Europe and in select international markets through partnerships with third-party laboratories for test kit processing. The terms are strategically accretive: Mainz Biomed provides ColoAlert to the respective labs, including co-branding with key accounts, whereby each facility purchases Mainz Biomed's customized polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") assay kits on an on-demand basis. That reach extends to those facilities' respective networks of physicians and patients, which by using ColoAlert, offers a comprehensive solution for advanced CRC detection.Trials To Make Excellent Products Even BetterMainz is doing more to create value by working to make its already excellent diagnostics better. They are evaluating the mRNA biomarkers acquired from SOCPRA in ColoFuture and eAArly DETECT, an international multi-center clinical study (US and Europe) assessing the potential for integrating the mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert. This particular portfolio of mRNA biomarkers selected by Mainz Biomed was based on work in the field by the University of Sherbrooke, where researchers tested multiple novel transcriptional biomarkers using colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous lesion samples.Results from these studies demonstrated that the mRNA targets chosen by the company provided a dynamic combination of sensitivity and specificity of detection. The ColoFuture study (extended into the US as eAArly DETECT) is evaluating the effectiveness of these biomarkers to enhance ColoAlert's technical profile to expand its capability to identify AA while increasing ColoAlert's rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. As noted, ColoFuture's eAArly DETECT study is on track to complete enrollment in the first quarter of 2023, with results also expected in the first half of 2023. That milestone, once reached, could become a catalyst.Remember, too, that studying mRNA biomarkers is a hot sector. Both Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) are investing considerable resources in appraising their value in a new generation of medicine. MYNZ is also in the game, noting that the outcome of its eAArly DETECT study will inform its decision of whether to integrate the biomarkers into the ReconAAsense study, which is on track to enroll patients in the summer of 2023. The results from that study are planned to be reported in 2025, forming the basis of the data package to be reviewed by the FDA to achieve marketing authorization.Also, last month, MYNZ announced adding commercial partnerships for ColoAlert with Marylebone Laboratory and Instituto de Microecologia, two leading independent laboratories covering England and Spain. That deal expands MYNZ's revenue-generating reach and targets an addressable market in Spain estimated at 26 million patients and a London-region patient treatment opportunity of roughly 9 million individuals. Revenues from that deal could accrue quickly from MYNZ already working on completing the necessary technical and co-marketing activities to ensure a successful commercial launch in these markets.A Bullish Setup For 1/H 2023Considering everything in play, especially the updates that could turn milestones reached into catalysts, MYNZ stock is an attractive value proposition. Analysts agree. Cantor Fitzgerald initiated its coverage with an Overweight recommendation noting MYNZ's prospects in colorectal cancer screening. They modeled a $15 price target, a more than 135% increase from current levels that could be reached sooner than later if the company earns US marketing approvals. They aren't the only ones expressing a bullish sentiment. Jones Research expects MYNZ can score $11 a share based on risk-adjusted discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation with cash flows forecasted through 2034; they assume a probability of success of 90% for ColoAlert in the US.Most important, both believe the valuation disconnect between MYNZ's assets and inherent potential could quickly, not only from marketing potentials but through a strong balance sheet, minimal debt, and a Who's Who executive and scientific team executing a plan to develop, market, and maximize value-generating opportunities.Thus, MYNZ creating potentially significant shareholder value may not be an "if" proposition but a "when." And with MYNZ providing regular updates and analyst opinions supporting the bullish thesis, the answer looks quite visible: faster than many think.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who will press the executive on the company's decision to raise the price ahead of the vaccine reaching the commercial market this fall.In January, Sanders sent a letter to Bancel urging him to call off the price hike, saying "the purpose of the recent taxpayer investment in Moderna was to protect the health and lives of the American people, not to turn a handful of corporate executives and investors into multi-billionaires."In February, Sanders' committee released a scathing report on the lucrative compensation packages that have been paid to pharmaceutical executives throughout the pandemic.Also last month, Moderna announced a new patient assistance program to provide free vaccines to all Americans, even after the U.S. government officially ends its public health emergency in May."As the public health emergency ends, the United States government will no longer be providing vaccines at no cost. Moderna remains committed to ensuring that people in the United States will have access to our COVID-19 vaccines regardless of ability to pay," the drug company said.Before Bancel's appearance, Sanders' office issued a statement claiming the executive "became a billionaire during the pandemic after U.S. taxpayers gave his company billions of dollars to research, develop, and distribute its COVID-19 vaccine."The federal government purchased millions of vaccine doses from Moderna, which have been provided to the public for free to curtail the spread of the virus, with Moderna sharing in $102 billion in total revenue from the purchases in 2021 -- 137% above the previous year.In recent interviews, Moderna president Stephen Hoge has brushed off criticism about the imminent price hike, noting that moving a government-funded product into the commercial market was a risky and unprecedented business proposition for the company."This has literally never happened before. And so what we are trying to do, as one of the many manufacturers in the space, is to pick a price we think reflects the value of the vaccine ... but also reflects the complexity of moving from this pandemic market to a commercial market," Hoge told Yahoo News.Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer has also indicated a plan to sell its vaccine for as much as $130 per dose on the open market.Previously, Sanders called on Moderna not to raise the price of the vaccine -- which he said costs the corporate giant $2.85 to make, but would be unaffordable to everyday consumers at a cost of $130.Other expert witnesses are also expected to testify at Wednesday's hearing in the Hart Senate Office Building about the impact of pricing, including several legal and medical professors from some of the nation's foremost universities.Copyright 2023 United Press International, Inc.

Stephane Bancel told the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions that the drugmaker will charge a list price of around $130 per dose for the vaccine in the U.S.That price is expected to go into effect later this year. Until now, the federal government had been Moderna’s lone U.S. customer, buying doses in bulk to make sure that people weren’t charged anything.The government paid around $15 per dose in 2020 and more than $26 last summer for Moderna’s bivalent booster, according to an analysis by the non-profit Kaiser Family Foundation. More than 270 million doses of Moderna’s original COVID-19 vaccine and booster shots have been administered in the U.S., according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That makes it the second most popular coronavirus vaccine, trailing the shot made by Pfizer, which is also raising prices.Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., noted that Moderna has made more than $20 billion in profits over the past two years, and the federal government contributed billions of dollars toward the vaccine’s development. The hike will hit government payers like Medicaid and cost taxpayers, Sanders said as he pressed Bancel to reconsider the price.The CEO said Moderna gave the government a discount with its initial prices. Now, the company must assume more costs and risk, he said.He said, for instance, that the drugmaker will switch to single-dose vials from ones that held 10 doses.He also that Moderna will have to make more doses than it anticipates using to ensure enough is available. The company will then have to eat the cost of unused doses, something the government has done.“The volume we had during the pandemic gave us economies of scale we won’t have anymore,” he said.Sanders later asked Bancel if Moderna was prepared to negotiate the price with Medicare, Medicaid and other agencies. Bancel replied that Moderna was “having discussions with all the different customers.”While Moderna’s list price for its Spikevax vaccine will soar, company leaders have emphasized that people with insurance will continue to pay nothing out of pocket for the shots. Moderna also has a patient assistance program that will cover shots for people without coverage or who are underinsured.Senators noted during Wednesday's hearing that these programs can involve complex paperwork and be difficult to use.“We want that (patient assistance program) to be something that works for patients and is not just something that’s like, ’Oh yeah, we have it, but no one can use it,'” said Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., a doctor.Bancel said Moderna will announce more details this fall on plans to help the uninsured, and the company was working to make the program as “easy as possible to access.”Pfizer also has said it will charge $110 to $130 for a dose of its COVID-19 vaccine. It also cited the cost of switching to single-dose vials and commercial distribution in explaining the new prices. Pfizer used no government funding to develop its vaccine. ____Follow Tom Murphy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/thpmurphy___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Science and Educational Media Group.

That bullish proposal isn't unwarranted; it's supported by analysis from Cantor Fitzgerald and Jones Research, which have modeled for MYNZ stock to reach $15 and $11, respectively, this year. Both contend that if MYNZ continues to accrue global marketing partnerships as well as earn US marketing approvals, it's likely that the path of least resistance will be appreciably higher. Incidentally, with Jones Research assuming a probability of 90% that ColoAlert will be approved to market in the US, that march higher could happen faster than many expect. (*upside potential modeled from prices on 3/21/23 of $6.30 to the $11 price target by Jones Research)Mainz is doing its part to justify the bullish thesis. This month, they announced yet another deal to expand the marketing reach of its flagship ColoAlert diagnostic. This time, it's with Germany-based Labor Staber, a leading diagnostics services lab with over 800 employees, including almost 100 medical specialists, biologists, chemists, and other academics from various disciplines. Under the terms of the deal, ColoAlert, a highly efficacious and easy-to-use at-home screening test for colorectal cancer (CRC), will be marketed through Labor Staber's extensive network of physicians and laboratories.Few, if any, argue about MYNZ's timeliness in getting a better diagnostic tool to the markets. CRC is the third most common cancer globally, with millions of cases reported and billions spent treating it yearly. But if caught early, results from getting the disease can be mitigated. That's where MYNZ intends to make a difference. By increasing consumer access to affordable and reliable CRC screening tests like ColoAlert, they believe they can do more than create shareholder value for investors; they can save lives. Deals with companies like Labor Staber accelerate that ambition.But while that deal is it's most recent, it's still one of many mutually beneficial partnerships that expedite MYNZ capitalizing on revenue-generating potential from putting its PCR testing kits in the hands of highly professional laboratory networks and, in turn, consumers.Flagship ColoAlert Is A Powerful AssetThat's the plan. And it can achieve its goals by leveraging the strength of ColoAlert, a highly sensitive and user-friendly at-home colorectal cancer screening kit. It's a non-invasive test that can indicate tumors as determined by analyzing tumor DNA and demonstrates better early detection than fecal occult blood tests (FOBT). Better still, based on PCR technology, ColoAlert detects more cases of colorectal cancer than other stool tests and allows for an earlier diagnosis, which is a driving factor in MYNZ's ability to attract marketing partnerships with independent companies throughout the EU to commercialize the best-in-class screen. Know this, too. MYNZ isn't entirely focused on the EU market opportunities.Through its FDA-registration trial, 'ReconAAsense,' MYNZ is seeking marketing approval in the US. Once approved, MYNZ's commercial strategy is to establish scalable distribution through collaborative partner programs with regional and national laboratory service providers nationwide, intending to utilize its proven business model to penetrate the massive income-producing markets inherent to US commercialization and distribution. MYNZ is timely in its opportunities.According to World Cancer Research Fund International, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer globally, with more than 1.9 million new cases reported in 2020. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends that screening with stool DNA tests such as ColoAlert should be conducted once every three years starting at age 45. Notably, while over 16.6 million colonoscopies are performed in the US annually, roughly one-third of residents aged 50-75 have never been screened for colon cancer. This gap in screening represents a $4.0B+ total market opportunity in the US, and MYNZ is seizing on that disconnect.Capitalized To Fuel Near And Long-Term GrowthHelping that cause, MYNZ successfully completed a $25.8 million public follow-on offering to fuel its initiatives, allowing MYNZ to advance its impressive stable of molecular genetics and cancer diagnostics that can alter the landscape. The capital raise closed ahead of several data set releases expected in the first half of 2023, with each having the potential to support an appreciable move higher for its share price.MYNZ guided for at least three planned updates. The first relates to launching its U.S.-based eAArly DETECT study to evaluate the performance of its mRNA biomarkers in identifying Advance Adenomas (AA), a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to colorectal cancer (CRC). The first patient has been enrolled, and an update on that trial is expected before the end of Q2.A second update during 1/H 2023 is expected from its ColoFuture trial, a European study evaluating integrating a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers into ColoAlert, which could potentially enable the screening test to identify advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to CRC Those two events can be significant near-term value drivers, noting that investors typically position ahead of such releases. But there's more to like.A third value driver could be a massive one related to its noted ReconAAsense trial, a US Pivotal Clinical Study with its CRC screening test. Enrollment for that study is expected to commence in mid-2023. Singularly, updates from any of the above can move the valuation needle. Considering that all three will keep updates in the queue, the bullish trend started by MYNZ before the recent market turbulence could get re-fueled.A Business Model Generating ValueThere's more supporting higher valuations. They include inherent value related to its differentiated business model of partnering with third-party laboratories for test kit processing versus the traditional methodology of operating a single facility. That model facilitated MYNZ ramping up international commercial activities for ColoAlert, which now contributes financially from at least five new lab partners in Germany and Italy. There's more to appraise.MYNZ achieved multiple preclinical milestones supporting the continued development of PancAlert, a potential first-in-class screening test for pancreatic cancer, acquired a portfolio of novel mRNA biomarkers to upgrade ColoAlert's technical profile to achieve "gold standard" status for AA and CRC at-home testing, and, as noted, can expedite its comprehensive mission after completing its $25.8 million capital raise.Accounting for that, MYNZ is in its best position, likely ever, to create sustainable shareholder value when factoring in overseas market opportunities and those inherent to ongoing product development programs. All told, while 2022 was a year of milestones reached, 2023 can be transformative, with MYNZ benefiting from an operations tailwind accelerating its goal of becoming a leading provider of cancer-focused early detection and disease prevention molecular diagnostics.Taking Large And Accretive StepsThe better news is that MYNZ is taking significant steps toward that goal. In February, Mainz Biomed announced executing its option from Uni Targeting Research AS to acquire all of the previously licensed scientific intellectual property ("IP ") for its flagship product ColoAlert. That deal makes this highly productive and easy-to-use detection test for colorectal cancer being commercialized across Europe a wholly-owned asset. Simultaneously, Mainz exercised its exclusive option with SOCPRA Sciences Sante et Humaines SEC to outright purchase IP, including a pending patent, associated with a portfolio of novel gene expression (mRNA) biomarkers that have demonstrated the ability to detect CRC lesions, including advanced adenomas, a type of pre-cancerous polyp often attributed to this deadly disease.In addition to being an immediate value driver from an existing market perspective, it allows MYNZ to aggressively execute its commercial strategy and product development plans intending to bring what the company describes as the gold-standard CRC self-administered diagnostic test to market. Additionally, MYNZ can earn more money since securing complete IP ownership expedites the company's growth strategy, streamlines administration, reduces per-test expenses, and allows MYNZ to ramp up corporate development activities. These initiatives add to existing revenue streams.Remember, Mainz Biomed is already commercializing ColoAlert across Europe and in select international markets through partnerships with third-party laboratories for test kit processing. The terms are strategically accretive: Mainz Biomed provides ColoAlert to the respective labs, including co-branding with key accounts, whereby each facility purchases Mainz Biomed's customized polymerase chain reaction ("PCR") assay kits on an on-demand basis. That reach extends to those facilities' respective networks of physicians and patients to offer a comprehensive solution for advanced CRC detection.Enhancing An Excellent Products PortfolioFor those wanting more, MYNZ is delivering by working to make its already excellent diagnostics better. They are evaluating the mRNA biomarkers acquired from SOCPRA in ColoFuture and eAArly DETECT, an international multi-center clinical study (US and Europe) assessing the potential for integrating the mRNA biomarkers into ColoAlert. This particular portfolio of mRNA biomarkers selected by Mainz Biomed was based on work in the field by the University of Sherbrooke, where researchers tested multiple novel transcriptional biomarkers using colorectal cancer and pre-cancerous lesion samples.Results from these studies demonstrated that the mRNA targets chosen by the company provided a dynamic combination of sensitivity and specificity of detection. The ColoFuture study (extended into the US as eAArly DETECT) is evaluating the effectiveness of these biomarkers to enhance ColoAlert's technical profile to expand its capability to identify AA while increasing ColoAlert's rates of diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. As noted, ColoFuture's eAArly DETECT study is on track to complete enrollment in the first quarter of 2023, with results also expected in the first half of 2023. That milestone, once reached, could become a catalyst.Remember, too, that studying mRNA biomarkers is a hot sector. Both Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna (NASDAQ: MRNA) are investing considerable resources in appraising their value in a new generation of medicine. MYNZ is also in the game, noting that the outcome of its eAArly DETECT study will inform its decision of whether to integrate the biomarkers into the ReconAAsense study, which is on track to enroll patients in the summer of 2023. The results from that study are planned to be reported in 2025, forming the basis of the data package to be reviewed by the FDA to achieve marketing authorization.Also, in February, MYNZ announced adding commercial partnerships for ColoAlert with Marylebone Laboratory and Instituto de Microecologia, two leading independent laboratories covering England and Spain. That deal expands MYNZ's revenue-generating reach and targets an addressable market in Spain estimated at 26 million patients and a London-region patient treatment opportunity of roughly 9 million individuals. Revenues from that deal could accrue quickly from MYNZ already working on completing the necessary technical and co-marketing activities to ensure a successful commercial launch in these markets.A Valuation Disconnect Exposed Ahead Of 1/H 2023 UpdatesMoreover, that goodwill adds to balance sheet strength, minimal debt, and a Who's Who executive and scientific team executing a plan to develop, market, and maximize value-generating opportunities. Thus, while the value inherent to each can support current prices, the combination can justify significantly higher.And with potentially transformative updates likely in the queue, a consistent flow of new and accretive revenue-generating deals being announced, and a diagnostics portfolio serving a massive market need with best-in-class technology, the better news is that while MYNZ could grow substantially in the longer term, its short term trend presents an equally attractive and bullish proposition.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment. The company has been working on making it easier for developers to use non-Nvidia chips and in October launched a set of free software tools for AI applications that enable switching back and forth between Nvidia and AMD chips.

Enterprises that work with OpenAI can use their data and make a copy of the model to alleviate data safety concerns. Coca-Cola, for example, is working with OpenAI and Bain to use OpenAI's ChatGPT and DALL-E platforms to create personalized ad copy, images, and messaging. Altman, a veteran entrepreneur and investor, said the company should be valued by investors as a firm to achieve the goal of general artificial intelligence.Individual users should also have more control over how the AI works, Altman added. The company said last month it is developing an upgrade to its chatbot that users can customize to address concerns about bias in artificial intelligence."We'll launch more things soon that give users additional control on the system to behave this way or that way."Altman acknowledges the AI system cannot achieve 100% accuracy, and he said he expects applications including AI doctors and AI lawyers to emerge on people's phones soon.

SVB was seeking funding to make up for the sale of a $21 billion loss-making bond portfolio, a result of surging rates. Central banks meanwhile are shrinking their balance sheets by offloading bond holdings as part of their fight against hot inflation. We look at some potential pressure points.1/ BANKSBank have shot up the worry list as the SVB rout hit bank stocks globally on contagion fears. JPMorgan and BofA shares fell over 5% on Thursday, European banks slid on Friday.SVB's troubles stem from deposit outflows due to heavy spending by clients in the tech and healthcare sectors, raising questions over whether other banks would have to cover deposit outflows with loss-making bond sales too. In February, U.S. regulators said U.S. banks had unrealised losses of more than $620 billion on securities, underscoring the hit from rising interest rates.Germany's Commerzbank issued a rare statement playing down any threat from SVB.For now, analysts saw SVB's issues as idiosyncratic and took comfort from safer business models at larger banks. BofA noted European banks' bond holdings have not grown since 2015."Normally speaking, banks would not be taking big duration bets with deposits, but with such rapid rate rises it is clear why investors could be worried and are selling now and asking questions later," said Gary Kirk, partner at TwentyFour Asset Management.

Koo users will be able to use ChatGPT directly within the app to help them draft posts about current events, politics or pop culture, said Mayank Bidawatka, co-founder of Koo, in an interview. "This will help creators get inspiration on what to create," he said. "They could ask (ChatGPT) for the trending news in their region and then write their thoughts."Last month, tech giants Microsoft and Alphabet's Google each announced their own generative AI chatbots which can synthesize information across the web in response to searches. Snap Inc, which owns photo messaging app Snapchat, also introduced a chatbot that was trained to have a fun and friendly tone.Bidawatka said Koo will be the first platform to integrate the technology into the ability to compose posts. Users can either type their prompts into the ChatGPT tool or use Koo's voice command feature. About 20% of Koo users actively create content on the app and the ChatGPT integration could help increase that figure, he added. The feature will roll out first to verified accounts on Koo and eventually become available to all users.In a demo to Reuters, the tool drafted a post using a quote from Albert Einstein and included three related hashtags. Koo will also explore adding labels to indicate whether a post was created with the help of ChatGPT. "I think people should know if content is AI-generated," Bidawatka said.

In recent years, researchers have obtained much more human-like results with such models by drastically increasing the amount of data fed to them and the amount of computing power used to train them. Claude, as Anthropic's model is known, is built to carry out similar tasks to ChatGPT by responding to prompts with human-like text output, whether that is in the form of editing legal contracts or writing computer code.But Anthropic, which was co-founded by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, both of whom are former OpenAI executives, has put a focus on producing AI systems that are less likely to generate offensive or dangerous content, such as instructions for computer hacking or making weapons, than other systems.Such AI safety concerns gained prominence last month after Microsoft said it would limit queries to its new chat-powered Bing search engine after a New York Times columnist found that the chatbot displayed an alter ego and produced unsettling responses during an extended conversation.Safety issues have been a thorny problem for tech companies because chatbots do not understand the meaning of the words they generate. To avoid generating harmful content, the creators of chatbots often program them to avoid certain subject areas altogether. But that leaves chatbots vulnerable to so-called "prompt engineering," where users talk their way around restrictions.Anthropic has taken a different approach, giving Claude a set of principles at the time the model is "trained" with vast amounts of text data. Rather than trying to avoid potentially dangerous topics, Claude is designed to explain its objections, based on its principles. "There was nothing scary. That's one of the reasons we liked Anthropic," Richard Robinson, chief executive of Robin AI, a London-based startup that uses AI to analyze legal contracts that Anthropic granted early access to Claude, told Reuters in an interview.Robinson said his firm had tried applying OpenAI's technology to contracts but found that Claude was both better at understanding dense legal language and less likely to generate strange responses."If anything, the challenge was in getting it to loosen its restraints somewhat for genuinely acceptable uses," Robinson said.

One group "appears to be preparing for a renewed destructive campaign." The findings come as Russia has been introducing new troops to the battlefield in eastern Ukraine, according to Western security officials. Ukraine Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov last month warned that Russia could accelerate its military activities surrounding the Feb. 24 anniversary of its invasion. The Russian embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Experts say the tactic of combining physical military operations with cyber techniques mirrors prior Russian activity. "Pairing kinetic attacks with efforts to disrupt or deny defenders' ability to coordinate and to use cyber-dependent technology is not a new strategic approach," said Emma Schroeder, associate director of the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative.Microsoft found that a particularly sophisticated Russian hacking team, known within the cyber security research community as Sandworm, was testing "additional ransomware-style capabilities that could be used in destructive attacks on organizations outside Ukraine that serve key functions in Ukraine's supply lines." A ransomware attack typically involves hackers penetrating an organization, encrypting their data and extorting them for payment to regain access. Historically, ransomware has also been used as cover for more malicious cyber activity, including so-called wipers that simply destroy data. Since January 2022, Microsoft said it had discovered at least nine different wipers and two types of ransomware variants used against more than 100 Ukrainian organizations. These developments have been paired with a growth in more stealthy Russian cyber operations designed to directly compromise organizations in countries allied to Ukraine, according to the report. "In nations throughout the Americas and Europe, especially Ukraine's neighbors, Russian threat actors have sought access to government and commercial organizations involved in efforts to support Ukraine," said Clint Watts, general manager for Microsoft's Digital Threat Analysis Center.

After suffering a gut punch from the Covid-19 pandemic, the company would have hoped to have been in finer fettle by now. Its recovery will be slower than first thought, however, it warned. "This time last year, we reflected on emerging from the pandemic and indicated that we hoped 2022 would see a return to a more normal trading environment. It is now clear that it will take a longer time to return to pre Covid-19 levels as a result of both the changes to customers' everyday lives and lifestyles and the macroeconomic headwinds that we are all facing," Chief Executive John Treharne said. The low-cost gym operator said revenue for 2022 was 63% higher at GBP172.9 million from GBP106.0 million. Its pretax loss narrowed to GBP19.4 million from GBP44.2 million. Gym Group said it has seen an "uneven" start to 2023. Membership numbers have improved 8.4% from year-end to 890,000 at the end of February.

Britain, this week, described China as an "epoch-defining challenge" to the world.A year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine roiled markets, trading geopolitical risk is on investors' radar.Five prominent funds have shared five ideas using five different asset classes to try to profit from the increasing polarisation of the United States and China. The ideas do not represent the trading positions of the firms, which cannot be revealed for regulatory reasons.1/ GRAMERCY FUNDS MANAGEMENT * Emerging markets fund chaired by Mohamed A. El-Erian* Size: $5 billion* Founded in 1998* Key trade: Long Chinese distressed/short investment grade bonds Philip Meier, head of emerging markets debt at Gramercy, suggests a two-sided value trade. Bond prices attached to Chinese property developers couldn't get much cheaper, he says. A company's bonds, when viewed as risky, trade at a discount. He would buy these. "If tensions between China and the U.S. do not escalate, sanctions are not coming and both countries get along reasonably okay for the next couple of years, then we believe that the Chinese property leg of the trade will make quite a bit of money on the long side," said Meier.Meier said bonds of Chinese property developers would likely see limited falls as they are already at distressed levels if tensions escalate, but investment grade bonds in sanctioned-sensitive sectors would fall sharply. Taking a short position on investment grade bonds would make up for losses on long positions elsewhere, he said. 2/ NWI MANAGEMENT LP* macro hedge fund with emphasis on emerging markets * Size: $2.1 billion * Founded in 1999* Key trade: long non-Chinese AI companiesBuying shares of U.S. firms that develop artificial intelligence (AI) such as Alphabet, Nvidia and Microsoft, is another option, said NWI Management's managing director of global macro research Tara Hariharan."U.S. investment in advanced technology through the Chips Act and Inflation Reduction Act will give U.S. tech companies a significant edge over Chinese counterparts," said Hariharan, referring to recent legislation. Hariharan added that NWI Management viewed AI as the "next frontier" in tech, noting that the most promising initiatives so far had come from U.S. firms. If tensions were resolved, being caught with a negative view on Chinese stocks would not be beneficial, and therefore she would not short Chinese AI firms but invest in U.S. ones instead. Graphic: Tech stock prices and AI - 3/ PERENNIAL VALUE MANAGEMENT* Global asset manager, with energy and renewable funds* Size: $4 billion * Founded in 2000* Key trade: Commodities, buy shares of graphite companies or of those taking physical graphite shipmentsLithium-ion batteries power most technology from electric vehicles to wireless headphones, with graphite a key battery ingredient. While graphite mines exist outside of China, essentially all of the processing to make the graphite needed for batteries occurs in China, said Sam Berridge, who manages the Strategic Natural Resources Fund at Perennial Value Management. Supply disruption would devastate battery production globally until alternative manufacturing centres were established, Berridge said, adding buying shares of graphite firms or those firms involved in graphite shipment could be one way to trade geopolitical tensions."The most sensitive commodity to a break down in trade between China and Russia and the West is graphite," he added.Graphic: Batteries hungry for Graphite - https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-HEDGEFUNDS/dwpkdkdmnvm/chart.png4/ MKP Capital * Trading on macro economic factors* Size: $3 billion * Founded in 1995 * Key trade: Short Hong Kong's Hang Seng indexMichael Hume, head of strategy and research at MKP Capital, suggests taking a bet against Hong Kong stocks."You would need to get the timing right. Because at the moment, markets are still living off of the reopening in China," Hume said.Once this is priced in, stock prices could fall in sympathy with the exchange rates. "The catalyst for the trade could be a renewal of concerns over China lending support to Russia in its war against Ukraine or any new potential worries over the situation in Taiwan," said Hume. While "risk flare ups" could serve for short term trades, he believes there is a broader trend. Graphic: Hang Seng v its fear gauge - 5/MODULAR ASSET MANAGEMENT*Actively managed pan-Asia macroeconomic fund *Size: $1 billion *Founded in 2020*Key trade: long Singapore dollar versus short Chinese yuan Jimmy Lim, chief investment officer of Modular Asset Management, said higher U.S-China tensions would likely lead to a weaker Chinese currency and the easiest way to trade this would be to take a short position, essentially a bet on price weakness, against China's yuan. To add to that, Lim would buy a South Asian currency, such as the Singapore dollar, which could benefit from U.S./Chinese decoupling.To hedge political risks, Lim said the fund could use derivatives including options or swaps.For long-term opportunities, Lim pointed to Southeast Asia."Supply chains are already shifting to Penang, and they are receiving investment from both China and the U.S. This is very positive for Malaysia's current account going forward," he said.

At the same time, the drop in yields has so far been a boon for equities, especially tech and other large growth stocks whose relatively strong performance helped support the benchmark S&P 500 . The index finished up 1.4% for the week, with strength in technology stocks outweighing sharp declines in bank shares.While the banking crisis has stirred recession fears, "it's the interest rate move that's a ... tailwind for stocks right now," said Charlie McElligott, managing director of cross-asset macro strategy at Nomura.The near-term trajectory of yields will likely hinge on next week's Federal Reserve meeting. Signs that the central bank may prioritize financial stability and slow or pause its rate increases could pull yields even lower. Conversely, yields could rebound if the Fed signals that bringing down inflation - which remains high despite a barrage of rate increases - will continue to be job one."The market is not quite sure how the Fed is going to look at this," said Garrett Melson, portfolio strategist at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions.For now, futures markets indicate that investors are assigning a 60% probability of a 25 basis point rate increase at the Fed's March 21-22 meeting, with rate cuts to follow later in the year - a sharp turnaround from the hawkish expectations that prevailed earlier this month."For the first time during this Fed tightening cycle, the Fed now has to balance its inflation-fighting credibility with financial market stability," said Michael Arone, chief investment strategist at State Street Global Advisors.Treasury yields fell to historic lows after the Fed cut rates to support the economy at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, fueling a stock market rally that saw the S&P 500 double from its March 2020 trough at one point.As the Fed began tightening monetary policy a year ago to fight inflation, Treasury yields began to rise, offering investors an increasingly attractive alternative to equities. Two-year yields, which recently stood at 3.85%, hit an over 15-year high of 5.08% earlier this month. The recent drop in rates has helped stocks regain their appeal, according to some metrics. The equity risk premium, or the extra return investors expect to receive for holding stocks over risk-free government bonds, has rebounded to where it stood in early January but still remains near its lowest level in over a decade, according to Refinitiv data.Other metrics show stocks remain expensive by historical standards. The S&P 500 trades at 17.5 times forward earnings estimates compared to its historic average P/E of 15.6 times, according to Refinitiv Datastream.The rally in interest-rate sensitive areas such as tech stocks appears to signal that the market expects rates to continue to fall as a widely feared recession nears, Nomura's McElligott said.The S&P 500 information technology sector and communication services sector rose over 5% and nearly 7%, respectively, for the week, buoyed by strong gains in megacap stocks Microsoft Corp and Google parent Alphabet Inc.Some investors, however, are skeptical of stock valuations. Bob Kalman, senior portfolio manager at Miramar Capital, said the Nasdaq 100 should trade at no more than 25 times forward earnings given current interest rates, below its current 27.3."People have this muscle memory to buy mega-cap tech whenever they get nervous," Kalman said. "But the Fed hasn't backed off its rhetoric that they know they must overshoot because inflation is a much larger concern in the economy than a couple of bank failures."

The gatekeepers - companies that control data and platform access - are subject to a list of do's, such as making their messaging services interoperable, and don'ts, including not favouring their products and services on their platforms.The list of gatekeepers to which the DMA will apply is due to be announced on Sept. 6 and will likely include Alphabet's Google, Meta, Amazon, Apple and Microsoft.Those disagreeing with the label and requirements are likely to take their complaint to the Luxembourg-based General Court within months, its president Marc van der Woude said. The General Court is part of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) and deals with cases ranging from competition law to trade and the environment. "Probably the end of this year, beginning of next year we might see the first cases and I don't think it will stop," he told a conference organised by the European Commission.Some, like Google and Apple, have lobbied intensively against the DMA. "We remain concerned that some provisions of the DMA will create unnecessary privacy and security vulnerabilities for our users while others will prohibit us from charging for intellectual property in which we invest a great deal," it said in March 2022.Google has echoed those sentiments, and said it was also concerned that the new rules could reduce innovation.But van der Woude said the DMA was still evolving. "It's a living organism, this DMA, it's under constant review, obligations will be reviewed and implementing acts. So if I might call it like this, it will be a lawyer's paradise," he said.He said areas of dispute will likely focus on the gatekeeper designation, specifications of their obligations and during enforcement of the DMA.A contentious area is likely to be the requirement on gatekeepers to notify their acquisitions to the Commission and whether such deals meet the threshold for regulatory scrutiny, van der Woude said.($1 = 0.9403 euros) (Reporting by Foo Yun Chee; Editing by Raissa Kasolowsky)By Foo Yun Chee \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/MSFT/2023.03.20/Microsoft's EU remedies target only cloud streaming rivals, sources says.txt b/news/MSFT/2023.03.20/Microsoft's EU remedies target only cloud streaming rivals, sources says.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..9d9842bc646dedbd5b932ffedb7671be4d1663a8 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/MSFT/2023.03.20/Microsoft's EU remedies target only cloud streaming rivals, sources says.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +The U.S. software giant has been trying to allay the Commission's concerns that the deal may reduce competition for console and personal computers, PC operating systems and cloud game streaming services.

[L8N35S34A]While the industry expects an agreement by the end of the year, there are concerns that the complexity and the lack of progress could delay the legislation to next year, and European elections could see MEPs with an entirely different set of priorities take office."The pace at which new systems are being released makes regulation a real challenge," said Daniel Leufer, a senior policy analyst at rights group Access Now. "It's a fast-moving target, but there are measures that remain relevant despite the speed of development: transparency, quality control, and measures to assert their fundamental rights."BRISK DEVELOPMENTSLawmakers are working through the more than 3,000 tabled amendments, covering everything from the creation of a new AI office to the scope of the Act's rules."Negotiations are quite complex because there are many different committees involved," said Brando Benifei, an Italian MEP and one of the two lawmakers leading negotiations on the bloc's much-anticipated AI Act. "The discussions can be quite long. You have to talk to some 20 MEPs every time."Legislators have sought to strike a balance between encouraging innovation while protecting citizens' fundamental rights.This led to different AI tools being classified according to their perceived risk level: from minimal through to limited, high, and unacceptable. High-risk tools won't be banned, but will require companies to be highly transparent in their operations.But these debates have left little room for addressing aggressively expanding generative AI technologies like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion that have swept across the globe, courting both user fascination and controversy. By February, ChatGPT, made by Microsoft-backed OpenAI, set a record for the fastest growing user base of any consumer application app in history.Almost all of the big tech players have stakes in the sector, including Microsoft, Alphabet and Meta.BIG TECH, BIG PROBLEMSThe EU discussions have raised concerns for companies -- from small startups to Big Tech -- on how regulations might affect their business and whether they would be at a competitive disadvantage against rivals from other continents.Behind the scenes, Big Tech companies, who have invested billions of dollars in the new technology, have lobbied hard to keep their innovations outside the ambit of the high-risk clarification that would mean more compliance, more costs and more accountability around their products, sources said.A recent survey by industry body appliedAI showed that 51% of the respondents expect a slowdown of AI development activities as a result of the AI Act.To address tools like ChatGPT, which have seemingly endless applications, lawmakers introduced yet another category, "General Purpose AI Systems" (GPAIS), to describe tools that can be adapted to perform a number of functions. It remains unclear if all GPAIS will be deemed high-risk.Representatives from tech companies have pushed back against such moves, insisting their own in-house guidelines are robust enough to ensure the technology is deployed safely, and even suggesting the Act should have an opt-in clause, under which firms can decide for themselves whether the regulations apply.DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD?Google-owned AI firm DeepMind, which is currently testing its own AI chatbot Sparrow, told Reuters the regulation of multi-purpose systems was complex."We believe the creation of a governance framework around GPAIS needs to be an inclusive process, which means all affected communities and civil society should be involved," said Alexandra Belias, the firm's head of international public policy.She added: "The question here is: how do we make sure the risk-management framework we create today will still be adequate tomorrow?"Daniel Ek, chief executive of audio streaming platform Spotify - which recently launched its own "AI DJ", capable of curating personalised playlists - told Reuters the technology was "a double-edged sword"."There's lots of things that we have to take into account," he said. "Our team is working very actively with regulators, trying to make sure that this technology benefits as many as possible and is as safe as possible."MEPs say the Act will be subject to regular reviews, allowing for updates as and when new issues with AI emerge. But, with European elections on the horizon in 2024, they are under pressure to deliver something substantial the first time around."Discussions must not be rushed, and compromises must not be made just so the file can be closed before the end of the year," said Leufer. "People's rights are at stake."

Governments and companies using these tools will have different obligations, depending on the risk level.WHAT IS THE SCOPE OF THE ACT? The Act is expansive and will govern anyone who provides a product or a service that uses AI. The Act will cover systems that can generate output such as content, predictions, recommendations, or decisions influencing environments. Apart from uses of AI by companies, it will also look at AI used in public sector and law enforcement. It will work in tandem with other laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Those using AI systems which interact with humans, are used for surveillance purposes, or can be used to generate "deepfake" content face strong transparency obligations. WHAT'S CONSIDERED 'HIGH RISK'?A number of AI tools may be considered high risk, such as those used in critical infrastructure, law enforcement, or education. They are one level below "unacceptable," and therefore are not banned outright. Instead, those using high-risk AIs will likely be obliged to complete rigorous risk assessments, log their activities, and make data available to authorities to scrutinise. That would be likely to increase compliance costs for companies.Many of the "high risk" categories where AI use will be strictly controlled would be areas such as law enforcement, migration, infrastructure, product safety and administration of justice.WHAT IS A 'GPAIS'?A GPAIS (General Purpose AI System) is a category proposed by lawmakers to account for AI tools with more than one application, such as generative AI models like ChatGPT. Lawmakers are currently debating whether all forms of GPAIS will be designated high risk, and what that would mean for technology companies looking to adopt AI into their products. The draft does not clarify what obligations AI system manufacturers would be subject to.WHAT IF A COMPANY BREAKS THE RULES?The proposals say those found in breach of the AI Act face fines of up to 30 million euros or 6% of global profits, whichever is higher. For a company like Microsoft, which is backing ChatGPT creator OpenAI, it could mean a fine of over $10 billion if found violating the rules.WHEN WILL THE AI ACT COME INTO FORCE?While the industry expects the Act to be passed this year, there is no concrete deadline. The Act is being discussed by parliamentarians, and after they reach common ground, there will be a trilogue between representatives of the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission. After the terms are finalised, there would be a grace period of around two years to allow affected parties to comply with the regulations.

In that period, the S&P 500 has fallen 0.5%. Megagaps are attracting bets because of strong balance sheets, robust profit margins and business models expected to hold up better if recession hits, investors said. A recent pullback in U.S. bond yields, whose ascent punished growth stocks last year, is also buoying their prices in 2023. But their strength could have drawbacks. Megacaps' growing market capitalization means indexes such as the S&P 500 are increasingly driven by a smaller cluster of stocks. That could spur volatility in broader markets if circumstances change and investors make a quick exit from big tech and growth names."The view from investors is that technology companies are in a better place to get through an uncertain period of time," said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, which is overweight the tech sector. However, "when you have crowding you could see a sharp reversal out of nowhere because everyone is in the same area."Strength in megacaps also cloaks weakness elsewhere. Measures of market breadth have turned more negative, while the equal-weighted S&P 500, a proxy for the average stock in the benchmark index, is down over 5% since March.Investors are bracing for more banking sector volatility next week, after sharp declines in shares of European giants Deutsche Bank and UBS on Friday followed the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier this month. Upcoming U.S. data on consumer confidence and inflation could also sway markets.Megacaps led the U.S. market in the decade following the financial crisis and spearheaded Wall Street's blistering rebound after the selloff in early 2020 fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. But they tumbled last year, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight 40-year high inflation.Their rebound this year accelerated as concerns over the banking system spiked, and the combined weight of Apple and Microsoft in the S&P 500 recently topped 13%. That was the highest in over 30 years for any top two stocks in the index, according to Todd Sohn, technical strategist at Strategas.The weight of the top five S&P 500 companies has rebounded to 21.7% from 18.8% for the top five stocks at the end of 2022. As megacaps have rallied, some indicators of breadth, which technical analysts view as gauges of broad market health, have darkened recently. The number of new 52-week lows on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was on pace to eclipse new highs for three straight weeks, a reversal after new highs had topped new lows almost every week to start 2023, according to Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Hi Mount Research.Further, the percentage of industry groups tracked by Delwiche above their 10-week moving averages has plummeted from 87% in early February to 7% in the latest week."After some hopeful signs earlier this year, it's evidence that the pattern of weakness beneath the surface that we saw last year is re-emerging," Delwiche said. "We need to see better participation if the indexes are going to be able to sustain the next leg higher."The performance of megacaps could suffer if banking worries ease and investors scoop up economically sensitive stocks that have struggled. The S&P 500 energy sector is down 7.5% since March 8, while the industrials sector is off 5%.A rebound in U.S. bond yields could pressure tech and growth stocks. Earnings growth in the tech sector, meanwhile, is expected to trail the overall S&P 500 in 2023.Nevertheless, some investors are bullish on megacap stocks. Despite last year's market swoon, "our bias has been that we think we are still in ... an up trend," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments, who is overweight many megacaps. In turn, he said, that likely means "the big-cap growth stocks will be the ones who lead from here."

Two months after its launch, Microsoft upgraded its search competitor Bing with a chatbot powered by OpenAI's technology.Investors sense opportunity, even for a sale if not an initial public offering; some are betting that AI startups might outpace bigger rivals, encumbered by their size.You.com, a search engine company founded in 2020 and backed by Salesforce's CEO Marc Benioff, has found new life from incorporating generative AI technology. It has attracted more attention from users and investors, handling millions of searches per day, the company told Reuters.Jordan Jacobs, managing partner at Radical Ventures and investor in You.com, said the upstart was "an example of the right people with the right technology and opportunity, that can disrupt even the most successful business models in the world."Productivity tools including writing assistants such as Jasper and Regie.ai likewise have drawn millions of dollars in funding. These companies won business helping blog writers and salespeople do their jobs faster. But now, Big Tech has previewed upgrades for Google Docs and Microsoft Word that can draft marketing copy.How Jasper and Regie.ai will fare once such rival tools roll out remains unclear. Regie.ai's CEO earlier told Reuters that its in-house expertise and sales focus set it up well, while a Jasper vice president said its AI that creates on-brand content across platforms distinguished it.In such head-on competition, investors are looking for any technical advantage that could make a startup challenger stand out. Magic, a software engineering tool that can help write and edit code, is building its own specialized AI and user interface, for instance, said Jill Chase, partner at CapitalG who led its funding round. The company has raised $23 million in an effort to compete with Microsoft-owned GitHub.Still, the biggest race at times is among investors themselves, pushing up valuations. Greylock recently passed on backing a founder who had 10 competing offers to lead a funding round, an unusually high number, said Saam Motamedi, a partner at the venture capital firm. Deals that might take up to six weeks in so-called Series A financing are now wrapping up in as little as several days, he said."Everything we've done in AI has had many term sheets from most of our competitors. The entrepreneurs have the fortune of picking who they want to work with," Motamedi said."You could describe the environment as exuberant or even excessive in terms of what's happening," he said, "but there is a lot of substance underlying it."

(Nasdaq: MU), today announced the release of its fifth annual diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) report titled, 'We are Micron,' to mark progress and achievements across its six DEI commitments.'These commitments hold Micron accountable to seek greater diversity, drive equal pay and benefits, strengthen our culture of inclusion and be a positive force for all,' said Micron President and CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. 'Our commitment to DEI extends globally. It is embedded in our business practices and in our investments for the future.'As Micron expands its global leading-edge manufacturing and R&D capability over the next decade, the company has made significant commitments that will help build the diverse workforce for the future. This has been a centerpiece of Micron's recent expansion announcements in Idaho and New York. Micron is working across Idaho to create a workforce development plan. Under this plan, the company will build a high-skilled talent pipeline through targeted DEI investments in rural communities and with veteran organizations to create equitable access for underrepresented groups. In New York, Micron established an industry-first Community Investment Framework in partnership with the state. This framework reflects shared community priorities, including training and education programs to expand employment opportunities for women, people of color, veterans and other underrepresented communities. These efforts build on Micron's commitment to growing a diverse STEM talent pipeline in the communities where it does business.'We are proud of the meaningful progress our team is making to foster diversity, equality and inclusion inside and outside the company,' said April Arnzen, senior vice president and chief people officer at Micron and president of the Micron Foundation. 'At Micron, we believe that respecting and valuing diversity encourages our team members to share their unique perspectives and fuel innovation and creativity, and that's why we continue to focus on DEI at all levels of the company.''We Are Micron' DEI Report HighlightsMicron's female workforce increased globally for the fourth year in a row, now representing 31% of the global workforce and trending ahead of the industry average. The company's percentage of women increased for vice presidents, senior leaders and leaders in technical positions around the globe. More than 22% of the original patent applications that Micron filed in fiscal year 2022 (FY22) named a woman as an inventor, for a total of 182 female team members - an increase of 10% over FY21. As a part of Micron's growth, Micron is committed to supporting women and families by identifying quality, affordable and accessible child care solutions for the direct workforce and broader community globally. This includes FY23 investments and partnerships in Malaysia and the United States to provide affordable world-class child care facilities and support to Micron employees.Micron also enhanced its focus on the veteran community, with representation increasing for the fourth year in a row to approximately 9% of its U.S. workforce for FY22. Now veterans account for nearly 17% of Micron's overall workforce in the U.S. Aspiring to hire more than 1,500 veterans, the company established new partnerships with Syracuse University's D'Aniello Institute of Veteran and Military Families (IVMF) to help veterans develop the skills necessary for advanced manufacturing jobs and transitions into Micron and other industry roles.Micron actively participates in diversity and inclusion indexes, listed on the Bloomberg Equality Index for the first time this year and achieving a perfect score on the U.S. Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index for the second year in a row. Also, for the first time, in FY22, Micron India and Micron Japan received recognition, through the India Workplace Equality Index and Japan Pride Index, respectively, for their inclusion of the LGBTQ+ community. Micron participated in the 2022 Disability Equality index for the second time and was named on its list of Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion.In 2021, Micron achieved comprehensive global pay equity for all underrepresented groups, for base pay, cash bonuses and stock awards among veteran, Black or Hispanic/Latino employees in the United States, as well as for gender and people with disabilities globally. For the first time in FY22, Micron included race and ethnicity outside the U.S. to include Malay in Singapore.Micron's 10 employee resource groups (ERGs), with 82 chapters around the world, provide community and allyship for team members from diverse groups. Membership in Micron's ERGs grew 47% this year, with 39% of the total workforce now belonging to at least one ERG. ERGs are foundational to Micron's DEI programs, and for the first time, Micron rewarded the contributions of ERG leaders by providing them with stock grants in honor of their service.'Micron's ERG members ignite inclusion in our company,' said Vice President and Chief Diversity Inclusion Officer Fran Dillard. 'They are powerful ambassadors, allies and the embodiment of what it means to be for all.'From K-12 to college campuses, ERG members continuously engage with young people, introducing the possibilities of STEM careers. This year, Micron expanded its Chip Camp program to Norfolk State University, one of Micron's prioritized historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). In FY23, Chip Camp will expand outside the U.S. to Micron sites in Asia as the company seeks to increase access to STEM education around the world.In addition to strengthening DEI internally, Micron partnered with businesses in key areas to build a more inclusive economy while supporting underrepresented communities. Micron has increased the use of diverse financial firms for our investments, debt issuance and share repurchases. In FY22, Micron invested $500 million with diverse financial institutions. In FY23, the company intends to increase that amount to $750 million and evaluate opportunities to leverage community and minority financial institutions as the company grows in the U.S. In addition, Micron achieved a spend of $454 million with diverse suppliers, exceeding its goal of $404 million for FY22.About Micron Technology, Inc.We are an industry leader in innovative memory and storage solutions, transforming how the world uses information to enrich life for all.

The Court of Appeal's reasons in this case are sure to attract the attention of practitioners and their clients alike.BackgroundOn January 27, 2023, the Court of Appeal upheld Justice Bisson's decision dismissing an application to authorize a class action alleging a price-fixing conspiracy restricting the production of dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) chips in the judicial saga Hazan v. Micron Technology & al.1. In June 2021, we commented on Justice Bisson's original dismissal of the proposed class action.Reasoning of the Court of AppealThe plaintiff-appellant's appeal essentially argued that the trial judge had focused his analysis too much on the merits of the case, examining the evidence or absence thereof, instead of limiting himself to a prima facie screening of the facts, and taking the allegations at face value.The Court of Appeal unanimously rejected this argument and held that the trial judge had correctly applied the teachings of the Supreme Court in the Infineon2 case by requiring that general and imprecise allegations be accompanied by some evidence to form an arguable case.The Court of Appeal noted that the appellant was alleging unreliable information gathered from various sources, including class actions filed but dismissed in the United States, along with vague references to Chinese investigations. The appellant had no actual knowledge of the alleged conspiracy and was unable to put forward any evidence establishing the existence of a price-fixing agreement. Accordingly, the Court of Appeal agreed with the original judge who concluded that there was a complete absence of evidence supporting conspiracy allegations.Of note, the appellant also tried to file an expert report as part of the appeal, arguing that the original judge should have allowed it to be filed. The Court of Appeal refused this, remarking that the original judge had refused the filing of the report twice and the appellant had not appealed those earlier decisions. The Court of Appeal also held that the appellant had failed to show any reviewable error here in any event.ConclusionAlthough the class action authorization stage in Québec is often seen by defendants as an uphill battle, this recent decision by the Court of Appeal confirms that general and vague allegations cannot be taken for true if they are not minimally substantiated. The bar may be low, but it is there. Without "some evidence" to support conspiracy allegations, class action plaintiffs are at risk of not being able to put forward an arguable case.As Justice Bisson put it in his original judgment dismissing this proposed class action (and as quoted by the Court of Appeal in its confirmation of the dismissal), "zero times zero equals zero".Footnotes1.

"The materials have gotten more expensive," the source added.Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Chipmakers are applying for billions in grants from the Biden administration thanks to the CHIPS Act, aimed at ramping up chip production in the United States. But increasing costs raise questions about how far those dollars will go. The bill was proposed in 2020, before a historic run-up in inflation that U.S. officials are still working to tame. U.S. Commerce Department officials said early this month that most government grants will only cover up to 15% of the cost of new plants. Meanwhile, in the three years since lawmakers first floated the $52 billion figure for CHIPS Act grants, of which only $39 billion is now earmarked for direct investment in plant construction, the cost of labor has risen sharply, along with the price of construction materials like steel.That could push up the cost of what are already huge spending plans. Last year, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co, the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, announced it was more than tripling a planned investment in a new plant in Arizona to $40 billion.Meanwhile, Intel Corp announced a $20 billion chip factory in Ohio that it could expand to cost up to $100 billion. Also last year, chipmaker Micron Technology said it planned to invest up to $100 billion over the next 20-plus years to build a computer chip factory complex in upstate New York.Samsung, the world's No.2 contract chip manufacturer, announced its Taylor, Texas, plant in 2021. It aims to make advanced chips for functions such as artificial intelligence, 5G and mobile phones, and promises to create 2,000 high-tech jobs. Unlike some of its rivals, Samsung has already broken ground.One of the sources told Reuters the company is rushing to finish the plant by 2024 so that it is producing chips by 2025, which would put the company ahead of a 2026 deadline to secure investment tax credits on tools for the factory. Both sources said Samsung had already spent as much as half of the $17 billion initially projected for the Taylor site and noted that the company might eventually opt to build additional factories.

Micron Technology Inc. et al.1, the Quebec Court of Appeal has confirmed the Superior Court's first instance judgment dismissing the authorization of a class action alleging an international conspiracy to fix the prices of dynamic random-access memory chips ("DRAM").While Plaintiffs who file a price-fixing class actions normally rely on some tangible evidence to demonstrate the existence of the alleged conspiracy, such as a guilty plea, fine or indictment, the Plaintiff in Hazan advanced no specific facts or evidence to support his otherwise general and vague misconduct allegations. This was fatal to his claim.FactsThe Plaintiff alleged that the defendants conspired to fix the prices of DRAM, referring to an investigation into a conspiracy to fix the price of DRAM in China, but failing to elaborate on the nature and results of that investigation.Instead, the Plaintiff simply advanced that the DRAM industry was "conducive" to conspiracy, and alleged the price variation of the chips for the class period (i.e. 2016 to 2018). The Plaintiff did not support any of his allegations with any tangible facts or evidence of an alleged agreement between the parties to fix prices.The Superior Court ruled that the allegations of fault were insufficient to meet even the low threshold for authorization.2 In a biting passage, the first instance judge held that: "[z]ero times zero equals zero."3 In other words, simply repeating that the defendants conspired to fix the price of DRAM, without any evidence in support thereof, does not constitute sufficient evidence to create an arguable case.Insufficient Allegations, Even If Taken as TrueThe Court of Appeal reiterates the standard of review from a decision dismissing the authorization of a class action, namely that it will only intervene in cases where the motion judge erred in law or if the judge's assessment with respect to the criteria of art. 575 C.C.P. is clearly wrong.4The Court of Appeal agrees with the first instance judge's finding, noting that the Plaintiff's allegations, even if taken as true, are insufficient to demonstrate an arguable case. The Superior Court judge correctly applied the teachings of the Supreme Court of Canada in Infineon Technologies AG v. Option consommateurs5, which provide that even if the threshold to authorize a class action is a relatively low bar, mere assertions are insufficient without some form of factual underpinning.6No tangible evidence whatsoever was proffered by the Plaintiff and the Court of Appeal thus dismissed the appeal with costs.ConclusionThe Hazan case is a reminder that a skeletal application, based only on general allegations and speculations, without "some evidence" to support the existence of a conspiracy is insufficient to meet even the low threshold for authorization in Quebec. Indeed, where no public authorities anywhere have identified a conspiracy justifying sanctions or further investigation, general allegations of an international conspiracy to fix prices will not be enough to authorize a competition class action.The Plaintiff can still file an application for leave to the Supreme Court of Canada.Footnotes1.

The supply continues to grow and this prosperous sector is not immune to cyclicality and overcapacity. However, the manufacturing process of electronic chips, which include semiconductors, involves many steps. It takes years of experience and research in the industry to develop, design, produce, market and service a single line of microchips. The process of building a semiconductor plant is also extremely expensive in terms of capital, time and complexity.  +As you can see, one of the main problems of this market is the big complexity of the production chain. Not all groups have foundries (semiconductor manufacturing plants) because of the huge capital costs involved. Axcelis has this advantage. The company benefits from its ATC (Advanced Technology Center) and AOC (Asia Operations Center). The ATC is a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to advanced chip manufacturing and equipment demonstration while the AOC is a state-of-the-art manufacturing and engineering facility to meet the growing market demand by serving their growing footprint throughout Asia and their Korean customer base. + + +Source: MarketScreener - Chart + +An ultra-competitive market:The constant demand for ever more advanced and high-performance electronic products forces companies to be constantly innovative to stay ahead of the competition. In addition, high R&D costs are a significant barrier for new companies wishing to enter the market, increasing competition between established players. The short life cycle of electronic products means that companies must be able to release new products quickly to satisfy consumer demand and remain competitive. Finally, sensitivity to economic cycles can cause significant fluctuations in demand for electronics products, requiring the ability to adapt quickly to stay ahead of the competition. +With an order book (Samsung, Intel, TSMC, Micron, SK Hynix, GlobalFoundries) that is overflowing and a competitive advantage in equipment design, what could stand in the way of Axcelis? The first risk that comes to mind is pressure from the United States to prevent Beijing from gaining access to advanced technologies. China is already embargoed on certain equipment, but Washington is pushing to extend the restrictions to other machines. At this stage, Axcelis has not been penalized too much, but it is a point of vigilance. Other threats include the risk associated with the highly technical nature of the equipment produced, which forces the company to maintain a constant level of excellence with very demanding customers. +Valuation:This explains the attraction of Axcelis to investors. In ten years, the stock has gained more than 2700%. Revenues have risen from $193 billion in 2013 to $920 billion in 2022, an average annual increase of almost 17%. At the same time, the operating margin increased from -6.88% to 23%. The company's net income is quite considerable with an increase of more than 975% between 2019 and 2022 from $17 million to $183 million. Meanwhile, Axcelis is paying between 15 and 20 times earnings which makes it a rather attractive price, unlike its competitor ASML which is paying 30 times earnings. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the group's revenue rose 16% quarter-over-quarter to $266 billion, beating analysts' estimates. The company's earnings per share came in at $5.46 in 2022 compared to $0.48 in 2015. + + +Source: MarketScreener - Income Statement + +Axcelis simply reflects the growing importance of this sector in our daily lives. As for semiconductors, the industry has seen its sales explode by more than 20% to about $600 billion by 2021. McKinsey's analysis suggests that the industry's overall annual growth could average 6-8% per year through 2030, making it a $1 trillion industry by the end of the decade. This assumes an average price increase of about 2% per year and a return to balanced supply and demand after the current volatility. With excellent momentum and visibility, despite a very competitive market, the company remains a very good option to watch closely. + + + + +Source: MarketScreener - Ratings + + +  diff --git "a/news/NFLX/2023.03.05/Netflix : Alpha Males Season 2 starts production \342\206\222.txt" "b/news/NFLX/2023.03.05/Netflix : Alpha Males Season 2 starts production \342\206\222.txt" new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..4b5ce4d99c9dff35d2f2abd9427f7300b2ddd491 --- /dev/null +++ "b/news/NFLX/2023.03.05/Netflix : Alpha Males Season 2 starts production \342\206\222.txt" @@ -0,0 +1,27 @@ + + + +Netflix has started production today of the second season of Alpha Males.

Set during World War I, it follows the life of a young German soldier who enlists in the army with his friends. But the realities of war shatter his hopes of becoming a hero and he focuses on his own survival.The German film shows the horrors of war from the unique perspective of the nation that triggered and lost two world wars.It has an eerie timeliness as young European men are again killing each other in trenches after Russian President Vladimir Putin's army invaded Ukraine last year.“It is also the right film at the right time, as it highlights a war in Europe in all its cruelty and brutality, which is currently raging again in the middle of Europe, triggered by Putin’s criminal attack on Ukraine,” said Roth.

DivX, LLC, No. 22-1043, Courtroom 402Netflix appeals from a Final Written Decision finding U.S. Patent No. 9,184,920 not unpatentable over several alleged obviousness grounds. Netflix argues that the Board committed several critical legal errors in its claim-construction rulings and the application of those rulings to the prior-art references. The '920 patent relates to digital video and encryption technology for online video delivery, and the claims require "obtaining encrypted content . . . where the content includes frames of video and at least a portion of a plurality of frames of video are encrypted." Netflix asserts that the Board implicitly construed this claim term to require a system that obtains whole frames before decryption, which Netflix contends unnecessarily narrows the claim to add an unrecited element and is contrary to the Board's previous acknowledgement that the claims do not require transmission of whole frames. Further, Netflix contends that the Board erred in finding that an asserted prior-art reference did not disclose the Board's construction requiring whole frames before decryption.DivX counters that not only did the Board correctly construe the claim limitations of the '920 patent, but that Netflix also waived any right to argue that the Board erred in construing the claim term. According to DivX, Netflix was on notice of the Board's understanding of the claims following the Board's institution, and that Netflix failed to assert its alternative claim-construction theories throughout the Board proceedings. Even if the argument were not waived, DivX argues that the construction was appropriate because the phrase "the content" refers to the "encrypted content" "obtain[ed]" by the playback device, thus limiting "encrypted content" to necessarily "include[] frames of video." DivX further argues that Netflix improperly attempts to construe the claim term "at least a portion of a plurality of frames of video are encrypted" to encompass obtaining "portions of frames." DivX argues that the term "portion" in this context refers to a "portion" of the frame being encrypted, not obtaining content that includes only "portions" of complete video frames. In response to Netflix's argument regarding the prior-art reference's disclosure of whole frames, DivX asserts that the prior art never mentions the use of "frames," contrary to Netflix's contention that a "scrambled broadcast signal" discloses whole encrypted frames.Friday, March 10, 2023FS.com Inc. v. ITC, No. 22-1228, Courtroom 201Respondents Panduit and Siemon appealed from the Commission's Final Determination finding that their importation of fiber optic bundle modules induced their customers to infringe multiple patents claiming a fiber optic apparatus that includes fiber optic bundle modules as a component. On appeal, the Respondents contend that the Commission committed legal error in finding that their imported modules satisfied section 1337's "importation" requirement through induced infringement, despite finding that the imported modules do not directly or contributorily infringe any claim. Specifically, Panduit and Siemon argue that for the asserted apparatus claims, because direct infringement under § 271(a) and contributory infringement under § 271(c) are the only sections that address the making, using, or selling of imported articles that might infringe a patent, the Commission should not have considered inducement under § 271(b), which focuses on actors who infringe. The Respondents also assert that the Commission erred by failing to consider whether there was a nexus between their imported modules and the claims that they were found to infringe.The ITC, on the other hand, asserts that the Commission properly found that the Respondents induced its customers to infringe the asserted claims because the Federal Circuit's Suprema case established that a section 1337 violation could be based on importation of an article that induced direct infringement after importation. The ITC further asserts that the Respondents' own briefing in the proceeding recognized that the "articles that . . . infringe" requirement of section 1337(a)(1)(B) extends to induced infringement and that the Respondents incorrectly suggest that induced infringement of an apparatus claim is an improper "expansion" of Federal Circuit precedent. Finally, the ITC counters that the Respondents' "nexus" requirement has no support in either ITC or Federal Circuit precedent, and that the concept of a "nexus" is irrelevant to whether an article has been imported.The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

(AP) — A retired Wisconsin detective has lost a defamation lawsuit against streaming giant Netflix over his portrayal in the 2015 documentary series “Making a Murderer.”On Friday U.S. District Judge Brett Ludwig ruled in favor of Netflix and “Making a Murderer” filmmakers Laura Ricciardi and Moira Demos, concluding that none of them acted with any malice toward now-retired Manitowoc County Sheriff’s Detective Andrew Colborn.Netflix aired “Making a Murderer” series in 2015. The 10-part series follows the story of Steven Avery, who spent nearly 22 years in prison for sexual assault before DNA tests exonerated him. He was released in 2003 but was convicted four years later along with his nephew, Brendan Dassey, in the 2005 murder and rape of photographer Teresa Halbach. Avery and Dassey were ultimately both sentenced to life in prison. The documentary raised questions about whether Manitowoc County officials framed them. Colborn, who participated in the Avery investigation, filed a lawsuit in April 2019 alleging that the documentary defamed him by misquoting his testimony — and editing snippets of his testimony, and reactions of others in court to make him appear nervous and uncertain. Ludwig found that the edits retain the gist of his testimony, and that Colborn failed to show that the streaming service or the filmmakers acted with malice toward him, a key element to defamation. It's defined as when someone makes a defamatory statement even though he or she knows it's false, or shows reckless disregard for its veracity.Colburn's attorney, listed in online court records as George Burnett, didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the ruling.Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Vietnam, with a population of 100 million people, also has a rapidly-growing consumer market as its middle class expands."This is the biggest-ever mission in Vietnam," said Vu Tu Thanh, the US-ASEAN Business Council's representative in the country, noting that the body had been organising these events for three decades.Streaming giant Netflix, which Reuters last month reported was planning to open an office in Vietnam, is among the companies joining the trip. Netflix did not respond to a request for comment.Aerospace manufacturers Boeing, Lockheed Martin and Bell will hold meetings with state-owned Vietnamese defence procurement companies, Thanh told Reuters, adding that it was the first time in about a decade that security firms had decided to join the annual mission to Vietnam.In December, the same companies held talks with Vietnamese government officials about the possible sale of helicopters and drones, as the country seeks new suppliers and the Ukraine conflict strains the capabilities of Russia, for decades Vietnam's main military partner. "Helicopters is one of the things the companies hope to sell to the Vietnamese," Thanh said, although he cautioned that defence deals took time to be completed and no immediate breakthrough was expected.Boeing said in a statement that its discussions with officials would focus on its growing partnership with Vietnam and ways to strengthen the country's aviation and defence capabilities.Lockheed Martin and Bell did not respond to requests for comment. The majority of the companies joining the business mission already have a business or manufacturing presence in Vietnam, including Apple, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, Thanh said, with some planning to expand it.Some companies are also coming to get a better sense of the political situation after recent turmoil in the Communist-Party led country, including the resignation of the president in January, Thanh added. Participants will have meetings with Vietnam's top political and regulatory leadership, including with Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.Thanh said some companies were interested in Vietnam as a manufacturing hub and in providing services to increasingly wealthy consumers at a time when economic growth reached more than 8% last year.Among them is SpaceX, which is looking to sell its satellite internet services to Vietnam and other countries in the region, Thanh said. SpaceX did not respond to a request for comment.The mission will also include semiconductors companies, pharmaceutical giants Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, medical device maker Abbott, financial firms Visa and Citibank, internet and cloud companies Meta and Amazon Web Services, the list showed.

The article said Harry, 38, had tried to keep secret details of his legal fight to reinstate his police protection - which was withdrawn after he stepped back from royal duties in 2020 - and that his aides had then tried to put a positive spin on it.His lawyers confirmed to Reuters that they would ask the judge Matthew Nicklin at a hearing on Friday to give a summary judgment - a ruling in his favour without the need for a trial.Two years ago, Harry's American wife Meghan, 41, likewise won a summary judgment in her privacy case against the Mail on Sunday for printing parts of a handwritten letter she had sent to her estranged father, Thomas Markle. The couple have become embroiled in numerous court cases against tabloid papers since the time of their 2018 marriage, accusing them of racism, hounding them, and spreading lies.Media intrusion was part of the reason they cited for stepping back from royal duties and moving to California to forge new lives and careers.In his memoir "Spare" and in the couple's six-part Netflix documentary series, Harry focused heavily on the press, with accusations that other royals had been complicit in newspaper stories.There has been no response from Buckingham Palace or other royals to those remarks. Harry, officially known as the Duke of Sussex, also told one TV interview in January that he hoped his legal action would help reform the media, adding that his father had described that as "probably a suicide mission".Later this month, there is due to be a hearing in another case he has brought with singer Elton John and others against Associated Newspapers over allegations of phone-tapping and other privacy breaches. In May, a lawsuit against the Daily Mirror newspaper over accusations of phone-hacking will go to a trial, and he is also suing News Group Newspapers, the publisher of the now-defunct News of the World and The Sun, also for alleged phone-hacking.

The film is one of Wētā's largest VFX projects to date. The team created 3,240 shots - which is 98% of the total shots in the film, more than two-thirds of which featured water. + + + In computer graphics (CG), making water look natural and realistic - from how it moves off a character's skin to how it drips from clothing - is one of the biggest challenges for visual effects artists.

From there, Wētā created a new suite of water solvers - many of them within Loki, the studio's in-house multiphysics simulation framework. Loki allows coupling of multiple solvers in any configuration. For example, hair, cloth, air and water can all be simulated together. + + + Other key innovations from Wētā centered on both dry and wet performance capture, new deep learning models to process stereo camera images and generate depth maps for compositing, and neural networks to assist with facial animation and muscle systems. + + +Creating Captivating Car Chases Through Gritty Gotham + + + Wētā FX was also behind the cinematic visuals for The Batman. The team, led by VFX supervisor Anders Langlands, worked on the gripping highway chase between Batman and the infamous villain, the Penguin.

Rendering the proper lighting; simulating realistic raindrops colliding with multiple surfaces, hydroplaning and wheel spray; and illuminating rain through headlights and streetlights all added to the complexity of these shots. Wētā also worked on background environments for scenes in the Batcave and Gotham's City Hall. + + +Taking CGI to the Sky + + + The practical effects and cinematography behind Top Gun: Maverick was an instant highlight of this heart-pounding Hollywood blockbuster film.

They captured over 800 hours of aerial stunts, mounts and plates to provide their team with a practical foundation for the visual effects work. + + + The Top Gun: Maverick team implemented various VFX techniques, creating a surprising 2,400 VFX shots for the movie. The visual effects included creating and adding CG planes in scenes, as well as adding missiles, smoke and explosions in various action sequences. The invisible nature of the visual effects in Top Gun: Maverick make it a top contender for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. + + +A New Swimlane for Underwater Worlds + + + In Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Wētā FX further demonstrated its leadership in creating photorealistic underwater sequences. Chris White, visual effects supervisor for the film, was tasked with creating the Mesoamerican-inspired Talokan underwater kingdom. + + + To get a realistic look for the characters in this undersea world, Wētā used a combination of live-action sequences shot in water tanks and dry-for-wet shots that helped capture realistic underwater motion for the characters, clothes and hair. + + + Wētā also reflected how various skin tones would react to light with the added complexity of a murky underwater environment. The bar for realistic water simulation has once again been raised by Wētā FX in Blank Panther: Wakanda Forever. + + +All Action on the VFX Front + + + Movie magic is made when visual effects are so seamless that the audience remains completely immersed in the story, not realizing that what they're seeing is an effect.

Showing that a cutting-edge model can be moved to Groq's chips easily could help the startup prove that its products are a viable alternative to Nvidia. Groq has been trying to chip away at Nvidia's market share, along with startups such as SambaNova and Cerebras and big companies like Advanced Micro Devices Inc and Intel Corp.Efforts to find alternative chips to Nvidia's have gained extra steam with the popularity of ChatGPT which has focused attention on Nvidia's dominant role in AI. The public battle to dominate the AI technology space kicked off late last year with the launch of Microsoft Corp-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT and prompted tech heavyweights from Alphabet to China's Baidu Inc to trumpet their own offerings.Meta made its code available to researchers for noncommercial use. Groq used Meta's model but stripped out the code that was included in order to make the model run on an Nvidia chip, Groq CEO Jonathan Ross told Reuters. Groq then ran that model through Groq Compiler which automatically adds specific code for it to run on its own computing system. A compiler turns code into ones and zeros so a chip can read them. Ross said the company's goal is to make it easy to move models from Nvidia's chips to its own. He said using the Groq system can also eliminate engineering effort each time changes are made to the LlaMA or other models to get it to work on the chips.Meta Platforms declined to comment. The company has been working on making it easier for developers to use non-Nvidia chips and in October launched a set of free software tools for AI applications that enable switching back and forth between Nvidia and AMD chips.

Britain, this week, described China as an "epoch-defining challenge" to the world.A year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine roiled markets, trading geopolitical risk is on investors' radar.Five prominent funds have shared five ideas using five different asset classes to try to profit from the increasing polarisation of the United States and China. The ideas do not represent the trading positions of the firms, which cannot be revealed for regulatory reasons.1/ GRAMERCY FUNDS MANAGEMENT * Emerging markets fund chaired by Mohamed A. El-Erian* Size: $5 billion* Founded in 1998* Key trade: Long Chinese distressed/short investment grade bonds Philip Meier, head of emerging markets debt at Gramercy, suggests a two-sided value trade. Bond prices attached to Chinese property developers couldn't get much cheaper, he says. A company's bonds, when viewed as risky, trade at a discount. He would buy these. "If tensions between China and the U.S. do not escalate, sanctions are not coming and both countries get along reasonably okay for the next couple of years, then we believe that the Chinese property leg of the trade will make quite a bit of money on the long side," said Meier.Meier said bonds of Chinese property developers would likely see limited falls as they are already at distressed levels if tensions escalate, but investment grade bonds in sanctioned-sensitive sectors would fall sharply. Taking a short position on investment grade bonds would make up for losses on long positions elsewhere, he said. 2/ NWI MANAGEMENT LP* macro hedge fund with emphasis on emerging markets * Size: $2.1 billion * Founded in 1999* Key trade: long non-Chinese AI companiesBuying shares of U.S. firms that develop artificial intelligence (AI) such as Alphabet, Nvidia and Microsoft, is another option, said NWI Management's managing director of global macro research Tara Hariharan."U.S. investment in advanced technology through the Chips Act and Inflation Reduction Act will give U.S. tech companies a significant edge over Chinese counterparts," said Hariharan, referring to recent legislation. Hariharan added that NWI Management viewed AI as the "next frontier" in tech, noting that the most promising initiatives so far had come from U.S. firms. If tensions were resolved, being caught with a negative view on Chinese stocks would not be beneficial, and therefore she would not short Chinese AI firms but invest in U.S. ones instead. Graphic: Tech stock prices and AI - 3/ PERENNIAL VALUE MANAGEMENT* Global asset manager, with energy and renewable funds* Size: $4 billion * Founded in 2000* Key trade: Commodities, buy shares of graphite companies or of those taking physical graphite shipmentsLithium-ion batteries power most technology from electric vehicles to wireless headphones, with graphite a key battery ingredient. While graphite mines exist outside of China, essentially all of the processing to make the graphite needed for batteries occurs in China, said Sam Berridge, who manages the Strategic Natural Resources Fund at Perennial Value Management. Supply disruption would devastate battery production globally until alternative manufacturing centres were established, Berridge said, adding buying shares of graphite firms or those firms involved in graphite shipment could be one way to trade geopolitical tensions."The most sensitive commodity to a break down in trade between China and Russia and the West is graphite," he added.Graphic: Batteries hungry for Graphite - https://www.reuters.com/graphics/GLOBAL-HEDGEFUNDS/dwpkdkdmnvm/chart.png4/ MKP Capital * Trading on macro economic factors* Size: $3 billion * Founded in 1995 * Key trade: Short Hong Kong's Hang Seng indexMichael Hume, head of strategy and research at MKP Capital, suggests taking a bet against Hong Kong stocks."You would need to get the timing right. Because at the moment, markets are still living off of the reopening in China," Hume said.Once this is priced in, stock prices could fall in sympathy with the exchange rates. "The catalyst for the trade could be a renewal of concerns over China lending support to Russia in its war against Ukraine or any new potential worries over the situation in Taiwan," said Hume. While "risk flare ups" could serve for short term trades, he believes there is a broader trend. Graphic: Hang Seng v its fear gauge - 5/MODULAR ASSET MANAGEMENT*Actively managed pan-Asia macroeconomic fund *Size: $1 billion *Founded in 2020*Key trade: long Singapore dollar versus short Chinese yuan Jimmy Lim, chief investment officer of Modular Asset Management, said higher U.S-China tensions would likely lead to a weaker Chinese currency and the easiest way to trade this would be to take a short position, essentially a bet on price weakness, against China's yuan. To add to that, Lim would buy a South Asian currency, such as the Singapore dollar, which could benefit from U.S./Chinese decoupling.To hedge political risks, Lim said the fund could use derivatives including options or swaps.For long-term opportunities, Lim pointed to Southeast Asia."Supply chains are already shifting to Penang, and they are receiving investment from both China and the U.S. This is very positive for Malaysia's current account going forward," he said.

This includes enhancing its data processing using the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite, which includes the NVIDIA RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark; enabling real-time vehicle routing and optimization with NVIDIA cuOpt; adopting digital avatars with NVIDIA Omniverse Avatar Cloud Engine and NVIDIA Tokkio; and utilizing conversational AI with NVIDIA Riva.“We strive each day to deliver the most efficient global network, as we drive towards net zero emissions in our operations,” said Andy Markus, chief data officer at AT&T. “Working with NVIDIA to drive AI solutions across our business will help enhance experiences for both our employees and customers.”“Industries are embracing a new era in which chatbots, recommendation engines and accelerated libraries for data optimization help produce AI-driven innovations,” said Manuvir Das, vice president of Enterprise Computing at NVIDIA. “Our work with AT&T will help the company better mine its data to drive new services and solutions for the AI-powered telco.”The Data DilemmaAT&T, which has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2035, has instituted broad initiatives to make its operations more efficient. A major challenge is optimizing energy consumption while providing network infrastructure that delivers data at high speeds.AT&T processes more than 590 petabytes of data on average a day. That is the equivalent of about 6.5 million 4K movies or more than 8x the content housed in the U.S. Library of Congress if all its collections were digitized.Telecoms aiming to reduce energy consumption face challenges across their operations. Within networks, the radio access network (RAN) consumes 73% of energy, while core network services, data centers and operations use 13%, 9% and 5%, respectively, according to the GSMA, a mobile industry trade group.AT&T first adopted NVIDIA RAPIDS Accelerator for Apache Spark to capitalize on energy-efficient GPUs across its AI and data science pipelines. This helped boost its operational efficiency across everything from training AI models and maintaining network quality and optimization, to reducing customer churn and improving fraud detection.Of the data and AI pipelines targeted with Spark-RAPIDS, AT&T saves about half of its cloud computing spend and sees faster performance, while enabling reductions in its carbon footprint.Enhanced Field Dispatch Services AT&T, which operates one of the largest field dispatch teams to service its customers, is currently testing NVIDIA cuOpt software to enhance its field dispatch capabilities to handle more complex technician routing and optimization challenges.Routing requires trillions of computations to factor in a variety of factors, from traffic and weather conditions to customer change of plans or a technician’s skill level, where a complicated job might then require an additional truck roll.In early trials, cuOpt delivered solutions in 10 seconds, while the same computation on x86 CPUs took 1,000 seconds. The results yielded a 40% reduction in cloud costs and allowed technicians to complete more service calls each day. NVIDIA cuOpt allows AT&T to run nearly continuous dispatch optimization software by combining NVIDIA RAPIDS with local search heuristics algorithms and metaheuristics such as Tabu search.Pleasing Customers, Speeding Network DesignAs part of its efforts to improve productivity for its more than 150,000 employees, AT&T is moving to adopt NVIDIA Omniverse ACE and NVIDIA Tokkio, cloud-native AI microservices, workflows and application frameworks for developers to easily build, customize and deploy interactive avatars that see, perceive, intelligently converse and provide recommendations to enhance the customer service experience.For conversational AI, the carrier also uses the NVIDIA Riva software development kit and is examining other customer service and operations use cases for digital twins and generative AI.AT&T also is taking advantage of fast 5G and its fiber network to deliver NVIDIA GeForce NOW™ cloud gaming at 120 frames per second on mobile and 240 FPS at home.About NVIDIASince its founding in 1993, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has been a pioneer in accelerated computing.

Nvidia trained the technology on images licensed from Getty Images, Shutterstock Inc, and Adobe, and plans to pay royalties.This marks a milestone in the ongoing tension between the rights of copyright holders and emerging technology. Image-generation technology is "trained" on billions of images, but whether that use is legally permitted is not always clear.Getty Images earlier this year sued Stability AI, creators of the open-source art generation program Stable Diffusion, claiming it had copied more than 12 million images from its database without permission."This collaboration (with Nvidia) is testament to the feasibility of a path of responsible AI development and the unique nature of Getty Images content and data," Getty Images CEO Craig Peters told Reuters in an email."It is in-line with our belief that generative AI is an exciting tool that should be based on permissioned data, visuals, and individual privacy."Adobe's new AI-enhanced feature, called "Firefly," allows users to use words to describe the images, illustrations or videos that its software will create. Because the AI has been trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content and older content where copyright has expired, the resulting creations are safe for commercial use, it said.The company also is advocating for a universal "do not train" tag that would allow photographers to request that their content not be used to train models."We're very interested in making this creator friendly," Ely Greenfield, chief technology officer for digital media at Adobe, told Reuters.If Adobe users ask the system for an image in the style of a particular artist, "it won't generate an image that is aping that person's style," Greenfield said. "You as an artist can merchandise this. If someone wants to use your style, you can actually sell a customer the right to use your style."Nvidia's Picasso AI-image generator is part of a collection of AI-powered cloud products unveiled at its GTC Developer Conference."This is the basis of having something that will be interesting to the marketplace," said Greg Estes, Nvidia's vice president of developer programs, of working with partners like Getty."Because other software providers or enterprises of any kind, they don't want to be involved (with image-generating AI) not knowing what the provenance is" of the underlying training images, he said.Jun-Yan Zhu, assistant professor in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon, said it is not unusual for open-source AI models to train on billions of images. A number of factors, including whether a photographer is famous or whether the training dataset is publicly available, determine whether photographers know their works have been sampled, he added. Zhu said he hopes photographers and artists may ultimately benefit by using the technology to license their artistic style."The livelihoods of content creators depend on respect for intellectual property rights and the value of their creative endeavors," said Getty's Peters."We believe that innovation and creativity thrive in an environment where artists, photographers, videographers, and creatives everywhere can be fairly compensated for their work, especially when it is used for commercial purposes."(This story has been corrected to say that Adobe's image-generation tools were not developed in a partnership with Nvidia in paragraph 3) (Reporting by Stephen Nellis in San Francisco and Dawn Chmielewski in Los Angeles; Editing by Richard Chang)By Dawn Chmielewski and Stephen Nellis \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/NVDA/2023.03.21/BYD, World's Largest EV Maker, Partners With NVIDIA for Mainstream Software-Defined Veh...txt b/news/NVDA/2023.03.21/BYD, World's Largest EV Maker, Partners With NVIDIA for Mainstream Software-Defined Veh...txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..322f839718c4d144b7c0a534e1702229b12d72b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/NVDA/2023.03.21/BYD, World's Largest EV Maker, Partners With NVIDIA for Mainstream Software-Defined Veh...txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GTC -- NVIDIA today announced that BYD, the world’s leading manufacturer of new energy vehicles (NEVs), will extend its use of the NVIDIA DRIVE Orin™ centralized compute platform in a broader range of its NEVs. The enhanced partnership expands BYD’s use of DRIVE Orin across the multiple models in its next-generation Dynasty and Ocean series of vehicles, bringing safe and intelligent vehicles to market.“NVIDIA DRIVE Orin has been enormously successful with global mobility leaders that are building the software-defined future,” said Rishi Dhall, vice president of automotive at NVIDIA. “Our ongoing collaboration with BYD is a testament to the industry’s confidence in DRIVE Orin as the centralized computer for today’s and tomorrow’s intelligent vehicles.”NVIDIA and BYD share the belief that future cars will be programmable, evolving from being based on many embedded controllers to high-performance centralized computers — with functionalities delivered and enhanced through software updates over the life of the car. The compute horsepower from DRIVE Orin is critical for diverse, redundant sensor processing in real time, and provides automakers with the compute headroom to develop and support new software-driven services throughout the entire life of the vehicle.Since entering production last year, DRIVE Orin — the highest performance automotive-grade processor on the market — has become the transportation industry’s AI engine of choice for the new generation of NEVs, robotaxis, shuttles and trucks. Designed to meet stringent industry safety standards, the scalable DRIVE Orin platform is capable of performing up to 254 trillion operations per second, enabling it to power AI cockpits, as well as automated driving functions — simultaneously running numerous deep neural networks to provide the ultimate safety and reliability.Beyond selecting NVIDIA DRIVE Orin for its EV fleets, BYD announced earlier this year that it is working with NVIDIA to enhance the in-vehicle experience by bringing the NVIDIA GeForce NOW™ cloud gaming service to its vehicles.With industry-leading technologies such as the Blade Battery, DM-i super hybrid technology and the e-platform, BYD has sold over 3.7 million NEVs globally as of February 2023, while creating a better mobility experience for consumers.To learn more about the latest technology breakthroughs in automotive and other industries, watch NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s GTC keynote.

They just get baffled by +all this stuff," Koduri said.Koduri, a veteran of Advanced Micro Devices and +Apple Inc, joined Intel five years ago. He was part of +a wave of outsiders hired by Intel, which had been known in the +chip industry for promoting executives from within, to rethink +the company's approach as it lost market share to rivals.But Koduri, who has worked on nearly two dozen generations +of computer graphics chips, has also had a long interest in +movies.

It enables researchers to fine-tune generative AI applications on their own proprietary data, and to run AI model inference directly in a web browser or through new cloud application programming interfaces (APIs) that easily integrate into existing applications.“The transformative power of generative AI holds enormous promise for the life science and pharmaceutical industries,” said Kimberly Powell, vice president of healthcare at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA’s long collaboration with pioneers in the field has led to the development of BioNeMo Cloud Service, which is already serving as an AI drug discovery laboratory. It provides pretrained models and allows customization of models with proprietary data that serve every stage of the drug-discovery pipeline, helping researchers identify the right target, design molecules and proteins, and predict their interactions in the body to develop the best drug candidate.”Amgen Among Early UsersAmgen, one of the world’s leading biotechnology companies, is already using the service to advance its research and development efforts.“BioNeMo is dramatically accelerating our approach to biologics discovery,” said Peter Grandsard, executive director of Biologics Therapeutic Discovery, Center for Research Acceleration by Digital Innovation at Amgen. “With it, we can pretrain large language models for molecular biology on Amgen’s proprietary data, enabling us to explore and develop therapeutic proteins for the next generation of medicine that will help patients.”Generative AI Supercharges Drug Discovery Pipeline BioNeMo Cloud service includes pretrained AI models to help researchers build AI pipelines for drug development. It has been adopted by drug-discovery companies including Evozyne and Insilico Medicine to support data-driven drug design for new therapeutic candidates.Generative AI models can rapidly identify potential drug molecules — in some cases designing compounds or protein-based therapeutics from scratch. Trained on large-scale datasets of small molecules, proteins, DNA and RNA sequences, these models can predict the 3D structure of a protein and how well a molecule will dock with a target protein.New Generative AI Models Available With BioNeMo Service Early AccessBioNeMo now has six new optimized, open-source models, in addition to its previously announced MegaMolBART generative chemistry model, ESM1nv protein language model and OpenFold protein structure prediction model. They include:The BioNeMo Service makes these generative AI models easily accessible through a browser-based interface for interactive inference and protein structure visualization. And by pairing BioNeMo with the supercomputing resources in NVIDIA DGX™ Cloud, researchers can customize their models on a fully managed software service using NVIDIA Base Command™ Platform and the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software suite.Pharma Companies, Startups Tap BioNeMo to Optimize AI WorkflowsPharmaceutical companies and drug discovery startups are using BioNeMo today and, in many cases, seeing significant results.Amgen pretrained and fine-tuned BioNeMo’s ESM model architecture using its own proprietary data on antibodies. It was able to slash the time it takes to train five custom models for molecule screening and optimization from three months to a few weeks on DGX Cloud.Researchers at Evozyne, a Chicago-based biotechnology company and member of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge startups, have collaborated with NVIDIA to develop a BioNeMo-based deep learning model called the Protein Transformer Variational AutoEncoder. The generative AI model, fine-tuned on Evozyne’s proprietary protein data, enables the design of synthetic variants with significantly improved performance compared to enzymes found in nature.Insilico Medicine, a premier member of NVIDIA Inception, is using BioNeMo to accelerate the early drug discovery process, which traditionally takes more than four years and costs around $500 million. Using generative AI from end to end, Insilico was able to identify a preclinical candidate drug in one-third of the time and for one-tenth of the cost. The drug is expected to soon enter phase 2 clinical trials with patients.Sign up for early access to BioNeMo.Discover the latest in AI and healthcare — including three sessions with speakers from Amgen, a session from Evozyne and another from DeepMind on AlphaFold — at GTC, running online through Thursday, March 23.

Equipment maker ASML is working closely with NVIDIA on GPUs and cuLitho, and is planning to integrate support for GPUs into all of its computational lithography software products.The advance will enable chips with tinier transistors and wires than is now achievable, while accelerating time to market and boosting energy efficiency of the massive data centers that run 24/7 to drive the manufacturing process.“The chip industry is the foundation of nearly every other industry in the world,” said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. “With lithography at the limits of physics, NVIDIA’s introduction of cuLitho and collaboration with our partners TSMC, ASML and Synopsys allows fabs to increase throughput, reduce their carbon footprint and set the foundation for 2nm and beyond.”Running on GPUs, cuLitho delivers a performance leap of up to 40x beyond current lithography — the process of creating patterns on a silicon wafer — accelerating the massive computational workloads that currently consume tens of billions of CPU hours every year.It enables 500 NVIDIA DGX H100 systems to achieve the work of 40,000 CPU systems, running all parts of the computational lithography process in parallel, helping reduce power needs and potential environmental impact.In the near term, fabs using cuLitho could help produce each day 3-5x more photomasks — the templates for a chip’s design — using 9x less power than current configurations. A photomask that required two weeks can now be processed overnight.Longer term, cuLitho will enable better design rules, higher density, higher yields and AI-powered lithography.Support From Industry LeadersNVIDIA is working with key partners to smooth the speedy adoption of these new technologies.“The cuLitho team has made admirable progress on speeding up computational lithography by moving expensive operations to GPU,” said Dr. C.C. Wei, CEO of TSMC. “This development opens up new possibilities for TSMC to deploy lithography solutions like inverse lithography technology and deep learning more broadly in chip manufacturing, making important contributions to the continuation of semiconductor scaling.”​“We are planning to integrate support for GPUs into all of our computational lithography software products,” said Peter Wennink, CEO of ASML. “Our collaboration with NVIDIA on GPUs and cuLitho should result in tremendous benefit to computational lithography, and therefore to semiconductor scaling. This will be especially true in the era of high NA extreme ultraviolet lithography.”​“Computational lithography, specifically optical proximity correction, or OPC, is pushing the boundaries of compute workloads for the most advanced chips,” said Aart de Geus, chair and CEO of Synopsys. “By collaborating with our partner NVIDIA to run Synopsys OPC software on the cuLitho platform, we massively accelerated the performance from weeks to days! The team-up of our two leading companies continues to force amazing advances in the industry.”Enabling Semiconductor ScalingThe cost of the computational time needed for the largest workloads in semi manufacturing has in recent years been outpacing Moore’s law, due to both the larger number of transistors in newer nodes and more stringent accuracy requirements. Future nodes require more detailed calculations, not all of which can feasibly fit into the available computational bandwidth provided by the current platforms, slowing the pace of innovation in semiconductors.A fab process change often requires an OPC revision, creating bottlenecks. cuLitho helps remove these bottlenecks, and it makes possible novel solutions and innovative techniques like curvilinear masks, high NA EUV lithography, and sub-atomic photoresist modeling needed for new technology nodes.To learn more, watch Huang’s GTC 2023 keynote and attend the conference session “Accelerating Computational Lithography” presented by NVIDIA cuLitho architect Vivek K.

The program would help run the algorithm across quantum and classical computers depending on which system is most efficient in solving the problem.The new platform is named after CUDA, the software most AI developers use to access Nvidia's graphics processing unit (GPU) and which has given Nvidia chips a huge competitive edge."CUDA Quantum will do the same for quantum computing, enabling domain scientists to seamlessly integrate quantum into their applications and gain access to a new disruptive computing technology," said Tim Costa, Nvidia's director of HPC and quantum.One difference, Costa said, is while CUDA is proprietary, CUDA Quantum is open source and was developed with input from many quantum computing companies.Nvidia also launched a new hardware system called DGX Quantum to connect the quantum computer with classical computers. It was designed in partnership with Israeli-based startup Quantum Machines whose hardware communicates with quantum processors."We see more and more demand to integrate these quantum computers with standard computers," said Itamar Sivan, co-founder and CEO of Quantum Machines.While quantum computers could potentially speed up some calculations millions of times faster than the fastest supercomputer, it is still uncertain when that would happen. And even when they become good enough to be useful, they would have to be paired with powerful digital computers to operate, said Sivan."All quantum today is research, not production, and that isn't going to change next week," said Costa. With DGX Quantum, researchers will be able to develop hybrid applications and critical methods for quantum computing's future, he added.

In that period, the S&P 500 has fallen 0.5%. Megagaps are attracting bets because of strong balance sheets, robust profit margins and business models expected to hold up better if recession hits, investors said. A recent pullback in U.S. bond yields, whose ascent punished growth stocks last year, is also buoying their prices in 2023. But their strength could have drawbacks. Megacaps' growing market capitalization means indexes such as the S&P 500 are increasingly driven by a smaller cluster of stocks. That could spur volatility in broader markets if circumstances change and investors make a quick exit from big tech and growth names."The view from investors is that technology companies are in a better place to get through an uncertain period of time," said Keith Lerner, co-chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services, which is overweight the tech sector. However, "when you have crowding you could see a sharp reversal out of nowhere because everyone is in the same area."Strength in megacaps also cloaks weakness elsewhere. Measures of market breadth have turned more negative, while the equal-weighted S&P 500, a proxy for the average stock in the benchmark index, is down over 5% since March.Investors are bracing for more banking sector volatility next week, after sharp declines in shares of European giants Deutsche Bank and UBS on Friday followed the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank earlier this month. Upcoming U.S. data on consumer confidence and inflation could also sway markets.Megacaps led the U.S. market in the decade following the financial crisis and spearheaded Wall Street's blistering rebound after the selloff in early 2020 fueled by the coronavirus pandemic. But they tumbled last year, as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates to fight 40-year high inflation.Their rebound this year accelerated as concerns over the banking system spiked, and the combined weight of Apple and Microsoft in the S&P 500 recently topped 13%. That was the highest in over 30 years for any top two stocks in the index, according to Todd Sohn, technical strategist at Strategas.The weight of the top five S&P 500 companies has rebounded to 21.7% from 18.8% for the top five stocks at the end of 2022. As megacaps have rallied, some indicators of breadth, which technical analysts view as gauges of broad market health, have darkened recently. The number of new 52-week lows on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq was on pace to eclipse new highs for three straight weeks, a reversal after new highs had topped new lows almost every week to start 2023, according to Willie Delwiche, investment strategist at Hi Mount Research.Further, the percentage of industry groups tracked by Delwiche above their 10-week moving averages has plummeted from 87% in early February to 7% in the latest week."After some hopeful signs earlier this year, it's evidence that the pattern of weakness beneath the surface that we saw last year is re-emerging," Delwiche said. "We need to see better participation if the indexes are going to be able to sustain the next leg higher."The performance of megacaps could suffer if banking worries ease and investors scoop up economically sensitive stocks that have struggled. The S&P 500 energy sector is down 7.5% since March 8, while the industrials sector is off 5%.A rebound in U.S. bond yields could pressure tech and growth stocks. Earnings growth in the tech sector, meanwhile, is expected to trail the overall S&P 500 in 2023.Nevertheless, some investors are bullish on megacap stocks. Despite last year's market swoon, "our bias has been that we think we are still in ... an up trend," said Thomas Martin, senior portfolio manager at GLOBALT Investments, who is overweight many megacaps. In turn, he said, that likely means "the big-cap growth stocks will be the ones who lead from here."

The report surveyed more than 2,500 C-level executives around the world to better understand their cloud adoption strategies, and how those strategies are working. +With organizations of all sizes moving more of their operations to the cloud, a majority are struggling to automate cloud security and mitigate risks. It's one reason why many companies are trying to improve security earlier in the development process, and looking for fewer vendors that can offer more security capabilities. +Cloud Use Has Grown, Along With Security Concerns - The expansion of hybrid work during the pandemic drove organizations to expand their use of clouds by more than 25%. As a result, DevOps teams are being pressed to deliver production code at warp speed — making application security more complex, and putting pressure on security organizations to keep pace. +Most Organizations are Slow to Detect and Respond to Threats - 90% of organizations we surveyed said they cannot detect, contain and resolve cyber threats within an hour. Bad actors are working just as fast as developers to take advantage of organizations' vulnerabilities. What could go wrong often does go wrong and any cloud asset that is inadvertently exposed to the internet can be compromised within minutes. Detecting threats in real-time represents the new frontier of cloud security. +Teams Don't Understand Their Security Responsibilities - When asked about the challenges of moving to the cloud, respondents' top concerns remained unchanged from our 2020 report: struggles with comprehensive security, compliance, and technical complexity. A large majority (78%) of organizations said they have distributed responsibility for cloud security to individual teams, but almost half (47%) said a majority of their workforce does not understand their security responsibilities. +A Greater Need for Code-to-Cloud Security - As more applications are being built in the cloud using off-the-shelf software, there's a risk that any vulnerability in the development process could compromise an entire application later on. That's why more companies are encouraging a deeper level of engagement between application developers and security tools and teams — with 81% of respondents saying they have embedded security professionals inside their DevOps teams. +"With three out of four organizations deploying new or updated code to production weekly, and almost 40% committing new code daily, no one can afford to overlook the security of cloud workloads," said Ankur Shah, senior vice president, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto Networks. "As cloud adoption and expansion continues, organizations need to adopt a platform approach that secures applications from code to cloud across multicloud environments." +Moving Towards Consolidation - Three quarters of the leaders we surveyed say they struggle to identify which security tools are necessary to achieve their objectives. This has led many of them to implement numerous single point solutions — with the average organization using more than 30 security tools, including six to 10 dedicated to cloud security. +The sheer number of security tools makes it difficult for leaders to have in-depth visibility into their entire cloud portfolio. 76% of survey respondents reported that using multiple security tools creates blind spots that affect their ability to prioritize risk and prevent threats. And 80% said they would benefit from a centralized security solution that sits across all of their cloud accounts and services. +A Clear Path Forward - Despite the upheaval caused by the pandemic, organizations have mostly been able to succeed in their cloud expansions — and organizations that made cloud infrastructure a strategic focus across the business were generally more successful. This makes cloud security a clear enabler of business outcomes. +Of course better security does not guarantee success. But having security under control — consolidating tools and vendors and using proven DevSecOps and security automation strategies — lets development teams do their jobs better and gives organizations the tools they need to succeed. +About the Survey +This survey was administered online by Palo Alto Networks, and data was gathered from November 21, 2022, to December 14, 2022. Respondents were surveyed from across the globe, spanning the U.S., Australia, Germany, the UK, Singapore and Japan. Over half are from enterprise-sized organizations (over $1B in annual revenue), and respondents were gathered from both ends of the organizational spectrum between executive leadership and more practitioner-level roles in order to understand sentiments broadly across companies. +Additional Resources +Read more about the 2023 State of Cloud-Native Security Report in this blog.Watch the State of Cloud-Native Security Report Webinar on demand.Find out more about Prisma Cloud here.Follow Palo Alto Networks on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram.About Palo Alto Networks +Palo Alto Networks is the world's cybersecurity leader.

The webcast will be available for replay at the same website following the conclusion of the call.Use of Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn evaluating the business, the Company considers and uses non-GAAP measures, such as non-GAAP operating profit and non-GAAP net income attributable to ordinary shareholders, as supplemental measures to review and assess operating performance. The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures exclude share-based compensation expenses, fair value change of certain investments, and interest expenses related to the convertible bonds’ amortization to face value and gain or loss on extinguishment.The Company presents these non-GAAP financial measures because they are used by management to evaluate operating performance and formulate business plans. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures help identify underlying trends in its business by excluding the impact of share-based compensation expenses, fair value change of certain investments, and interest expenses related to the convertible bonds’ amortization to face value and gain or loss on extinguishment, which are non-cash charges. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures could provide further information about the Company’s results of operations, and enhance the overall understanding of the Company’s past performance and future prospects.The non-GAAP financial measures are not defined under U.S. GAAP and are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures do not reflect all items of income and expenses that affect the Company’s operations and do not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Further, these non-GAAP measures may differ from the non-GAAP information used by other companies, including peer companies, and therefore their comparability may be limited. The Company compensates for these limitations by reconciling the non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest U.S. GAAP performance measure, all of which should be considered when evaluating performance. The Company encourages you to review the Company’s financial information in its entirety and not rely on a single financial measure.For more information on the non-GAAP financial measures, please see the table captioned “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures to The Most Directly Comparable GAAP Measures” set forth at the end of this press release.Safe Harbor Statements This announcement contains forward-looking statements.

They allege that such apps could be used to spy on American users.Pinduoduo is a popular e-commerce app in China which often offers discounts if users team up to buy multiples of an item. Google warned users Tuesday to uninstall any Pinduoduo app not downloaded from its own Play Store. Downloads of Android and even iOS apps can often be found on websites that allow people to download apps without going through official app stores. “Google Play Protect enforcement has been set to block installation attempts of these identified malicious apps,” Google said in its statement. “Users that have malicious versions of the app downloaded to their devices are warned and prompted to uninstall the app.”It was unclear if there are similar security concerns around the Pinduoduo app for Apple users, and Pinduoduo was still available to download from Apple’s iOS store Tuesday.In a statement, Pinduoduo said that Google had not shared more details with the company beyond informing it that the current version of its app was “not compliant with Google's policy.”“We strongly reject the speculation and accusation that Pinduoduo app is malicious just from a generic and non-conclusive response from Google,” Pinduoduo said in the statement.Hong Kong-traded shares in the company tumbled 14.2% on Tuesday.

Walmart's margins have followed a similar pattern as it tries to keep prices low for consumers, and maintain traffic for its stores.Kroger Co's margins also rose sharply in the pandemic, as food prices have spiked. P&G, Kroger and Walmart did not immediately return requests for comment. P&G executives said at an industry conference last month that as inflation continues, it becomes harder to increase prices. Executives at Walmart said last month inflation in food and consumables has persisted, with food inflation higher than what they thought it would be.U.S. lawmakers such as Senator Elizabeth Warren and Representative David Cicilline have taken companies to task over price hikes on items shoppers buy every day.The situation is not unique to the United States, with data shared at a recent European Central Bank retreat showing companies there are profiting from high inflation."Corporate profits and higher margins have been a key driver of inflation and as they start to ease we will see lower prices in real life," said Rakeen Mabud, chief economist at progressive advocacy group Groundwork Collaborative. "What works going up, works coming down. If we see margins ease, companies bring prices down, we'll see lower inflation."Some manufacturers of household goods are easing price hikes. Ketchup maker Kraft Heinz Co, Clorox Co and PepsiCo Inc have indicated they are pressing pause on further raising prices.Clorox declined to comment, while Kraft Heinz and Pepsico did not immediately return a request for comment.P&G and Stouffer's frozen meal maker Nestle SA have said they are planning to continue increasing prices, even as shoppers are buying less and trimming their budgets. Nestle did not immediately return a request for comment.Former Federal Reserve Vice Chair Lael Brainard said in the fall that retail margins - a measure of the price chains charge for a product compared to what they paid for it - have risen "significantly more" than wages for the typical store associate. Lowering those margins could help reduce inflation pressures in consumer goods, she said.

Vietnam, with a population of 100 million people, also has a rapidly-growing consumer market as its middle class expands."This is the biggest-ever mission in Vietnam," said Vu Tu Thanh, the US-ASEAN Business Council's representative in the country, noting that the body had been organising these events for three decades.Streaming giant Netflix, which Reuters last month reported was planning to open an office in Vietnam, is among the companies joining the trip.

Other well known tycoons have tried to go toe-to-toe with the drinks giants, and failed, most notably Richard Branson with his Virgin Cola.But Asia's richest person has famously disrupted India's telecoms market seven years ago with cut-throat pricing to make Reliance the leading player in that industry. And he's applying some of that same strategy in his soft drinks venture."Coca-Cola and Pepsi are unused to a nationwide challenge, and Reliance has the financial muscle and reach to challenge them with a local brand with high nostalgic value," said Amulya Pandit, a consultant at Euromonitor International.A person with direct knowledge of Reliance's plan said it aims to open some factories of its own or as joint ventures to make Campa, and take the soda to hotels, restaurants and in-flight sales. Production of Campa is currently outsourced, after its $2.7 million acquisition of the brand last year.The company is heavily discounting in-store prices. A two-litre Campa Cola bottle is priced at 49 rupees (60 U.S. cents) in stores, a near 50% discount on its label price, and around a third lower than 2.25-litre Coke and Pepsi variants, a Reuters check showed. The smallest bottles of Campa Cola and Coke both cost 10 rupees, while Pepsi starts from 12 rupees."The price will be disruptive across," said the person, who added Reliance is planning an advertising spree during the upcoming popular IPL cricket tournament and is in talks with at least three teams to make Campa their refreshment partner. The person did not want to be identified as the strategy is confidential. Reliance did not respond to a request for comment, while Pepsi said it doesn't comment on competition as a policy.Coca-Cola said it has broadly kept prices of its small bottles unchanged since last year and was focused on expanding distribution. "Having new players in the market presents a great opportunity for investments to develop the market further," it said.Reliance, India's top retailer, will supply Campa to its 2,500 grocery outlets and thousands of smaller non-network stores as part of its new consumer goods push from which it has set an internal target of $6.5 billion in annual revenues within five years.The company also has a grocery shopping app and a wholesale vertical under which it supplies consumer goods to 500,000 mom-and-pop stores, which it will also tap for Campa sales.'GREAT INDIAN TASTE' VS FOREIGN BRANDSReliance's cola and consumer goods foray is being driven by T. Krishnakumar, an executive who worked for nearly 17 years at Coca-Cola in various leadership roles. Pepsi and Coca-Cola will also cautiously eye Reliance's marketing strategy after it targetted nationalist sentiment and nostalgia by promoting Campa as a homegrown brand with "Great Indian Taste" and a "rich heritage".A former Pepsi executive who did not want to be identified because of the sensitive nature of the subject said the U.S. firm has always been worried about local products marketed with an "India First" agenda, especially at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself backs self-reliance.The rivalry is already playing out in the market.In five Reliance outlets that Reuters visited in Mumbai in India's west, Chennai in the south and Lucknow in the north, Campa cola or lemon plastic bottles were displayed at the main entry gates or placed on shelves just next to the rivals. At one Chennai outlet, a Reliance store manager said this year they were placing Campa at the entrance for promoting it, with rivals tucked behind it and not visible at first glance. Another city store employee said 30 Campa bottles were being sold for every 100 of Pepsi and Coca-Cola.For now, the U.S. rivals have an upper hand. Pepsi and Coca-Cola drinks are available in at least 3 million Indian outlets and the companies have a widespread logistics network, dozens of factories and the advantage of a taste preferred by many, said Alok Shah, a consumer analyst at India's Ambit Capital."We'll need to wait and watch to see if consumers switch to Campa," he said, adding that Pepsi and Coke remain aspirational foreign brands for many Indians, offered at largely similar small-pack prices.Srinivas Rao said he still loves Coca-Cola's Thums Up, a domestic brand it acquired in 1993 and is its best-selling one in India, unlike in the U.S. where Coke dominates. "We buy Thums Up every time we eat biryani or meat at home. We are not drawn to discounts from other brands including Campa," Rao said outside a Reliance store in Chennai.

The NZeTA is not a visa but is required for Hong Kong citizens from 1 October 2019. Hong Kong is one of 60 jurisdictions whose citizens can travel to New Zealand without applying for a New Zealand visa. The New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority (NZeTA) for Hong Kong citizens is a digital visa waiver. It allows Hong Kongers to visit New Zealand without a visa. For travel of up to 90 days for tourism or business purposes, Hong Kong citizens can apply online for an Electronic Travel Authorization instead of a traditional visa. The New Zealand eTA for Hong Kong citizens is valid for a total of 2 years and allows multiple entries of up to 90 consecutive days in New Zealand. However, if you are planning to stay in the country for more than 3 months, you must apply for a visitor visa. Hong Kong residents can easily register for the New Zealand eTA online instead of going to the New Zealand Embassy or Consulate to submit the visa documents.New Zealand Visa Requirements for Citizens of Hong Kong Passport - all applicants need to have a valid passport when they apply online. For that, assure that the document remains valid for another three months from your arrival in New Zealand. Digital picture - the image has to meet all the guidelines to obtain a good passport photo. Payment Options - You can use a credit/debit card or PayPal account to pay for the NZeTA fees. Email - You need to provide a valid email address to receive your ETA. Remember that you need to have a copy of it.

And when IPO activity does resume, we expect fintechs will likely be among the last to rejoin the party," said Matthew Kennedy, senior strategist at IPO research firm Renaissance Capital."I don't think it would surprise anyone if they all sat out the 2023 IPO market," Kennedy added.Digital banking pioneers Chime and Stripe are currently seen as the industry's top IPO candidates along with investing app Acorns and buy-now-pay-later firm Klarna.BOOM AND BUSTFintech apps soared in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, as a near-zero interest rate environment helped them offer easy credit to lure consumers who were stuck at home. Digital payments giants like PayPal Holdings Inc and Block Inc also expanded their buy now, pay later (BNPL) services to appeal to millennials and Gen Z customers. But with interest rates at their highest levels since the global financial crisis, apps with huge exposure to subprime borrowers have attracted investor scrutiny, making it tough for such startups to justify higher valuations."On the fintech side, it is not one-size-fits-all. Fintechs that have maintained their growth and market share focus may not play well into the current market focus on profitability," said Rachel Gerring, EY Americas IPO leader, and Mark Schwartz, IPO and SPAC Capital Markets Advisory leader.They, however, said there were companies in the sector with the scale and cash flow for whom individual circumstances would determine whether to push forward with their IPO plans or opt for a wait-and-see approach.In the IPO boom of 2021, 20 fintech companies raised a combined $10.93 billion, vastly overshadowing the $144 million that was raised by a lone offering in the following year, according to data from Dealogic. "The IPO market is not closed, but it's certainly more valuation and profitability focused," said David Ethridge, U.S. co-IPO leader at global consulting giant PwC.Companies looking to list will need to shore up investor confidence in their cost-cutting plans and be transparent with their attempts to lower cash burn, he added.LACKLUSTRE LISTINGSListed fintech companies have failed to largely live up to their shareholders' expectations as they have steadily booked losses, leading to a string of routs in their shares.Coinbase, which was valued at $86 billion in its Nasdaq debut in April 2021, now has a market capitalization of about $15 billion. Robinhood and BNPL lender Affirm Holdings have shed $20 billion each in valuations since going public. High-growth fintechs were previously valued like tech companies, where valuation was decided as a multiple of sales. But with the tech boom having subsided, they are being evaluated using the playbook investors use for financial firms, where earnings play a crucial role, Renaissance's Kennedy said.

But did you know that PayPal is one of the most expensive online payment schemes? Fees range between 2.49 and 2.99% of each transaction and are charged to merchants who in turn add the additional cost when calculating their final sales price. To avoid that merchants would favour competing schemes, PayPal's GT&Cs include "Rules about surcharging" and the "Presentation of PayPal" which effectively prevent merchants from offering lower product prices for transactions that are being settled through schemes the fees of which are lower than PayPal's (e.g., debit or credit card, BNPL etc.). "These clauses might restrict competition and violate the prohibition of abuse of a dominant position. We will now assess the extent of PayPal's market power and in how far online sellers depend on offering PayPal as a payment method", says Andreas Mundt, President of the German Federal Cartel Office ("FCO").The investigation was launched in late January and is expected to continue well into 2024. It ties in with a series of investigations into the 'best-price' clauses of e.g., HRS, Booking and others seen a couple of years ago. Interestingly, the latest investigation by the FCO into PayPal is based not only on the EU rules on abuse of dominance in Art. 102 TFEU and its German equivalent in Sec. 19 ARC, respectively, but also on the specific German rules on economic dependency (catching abusive behaviour even if applied by non-dominant firms). The FCO's press release of 23.01.2023 says they will now investigate PayPal's market position in online payment schemes, and it appears 'economic dependency' is the fallback theory of harm for the FCO in case the market data obtained do not support dominance (which typically requires high market shares of 40% or above).The press release can be found here. Stay tuned to Competitive Edge for any news to come on this interesting case.Landmark Supreme Court decision on judicial review of arbitral awardsIn late 2022, the Federal Supreme Court ("FSC") clarified that arbitral awards are subject to full judicial review including under the EU and German competition rules. "No legal system can tolerate its own courts upholding violations of fundamental norms regardless of whether these violations are manifest or obvious," the decision states.The decision puts an end to a long-standing dispute with conflicting Higher Regional Court decisions, some of which held that an arbitral award would not be subject to full judicial review under the German & EU competition rules. The legacy theory was that the standard of review for arbitral awards was limited a violation of the ordre public (i.e., fundamental principles of law). Therefore, while it was recognized that in principle the EU and German competition rules are part of the ordre public, a violation could be argued only if the award allegedly 'obviously' violated these rules (whatever that meant in practice).While the clarification from the FSC is warmly welcomed, it does not come as a surprise. Already in Orange Book Standard (a decision concerning the enforcement of standard-essential patents dating back to 2009) the FSC clarified that the competition rules are fully applicable and enforceable, including before the ordinary patent courts. Back then, the FSC argued that anti-competitive behaviour must not be ordered by an ordinary court. We see no reason why arbitral awards should have benefited from less stringent standards. The interpretation of the competition rules, nationally and on the EU level, has progressed significantly over time with a wealth of case law and guidance from competition authorities globally providing legal certainty including for arbitral tribunals.PLEASE FIND THE DECISION HERE (GERMAN ONLY) Click here to read more from our Competitive Edge NewsletterThe content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

Bundeskartellamt expressed concerns about specific provisions in PayPal's user agreement, which prevents merchants from offering lower prices to customers who select a cheaper payment method than PayPal. Another concern that the authority stated is that sellers are not able to make alternative methods more attractive to customers, which in turn prevents entry into the market.Czech enforcer issues first penalty for restricting online salesThe Czech Republic's Office for the Protection of Competition has imposed a penalty (EUR 532,467) on a consumer goods company (Eurona) for fixing online resale prices and preventing retailers from making sales through their websites. The authority discovered that the company monitored retailers to ensure they were adhering to set catalogue prices and sent emails to those who were not in compliance with this rule to ensure compliance with the set prices. This is the first time the watchdog has penalised restrictions on online sales in the Czech Republic.Canada issues draft wage-fixing and no-poach guidanceCanada's Competition Bureau began a review of proposed guidelines for incoming criminal restrictions on wage-fixing and no-poach agreements. The Competition Bureau recently announced that it is seeking public input on guidelines that outline its enforcement of anti-competitive agreement in the labor market. The Canadian government's amendment to the Competition Act last year, which made wage-fixing and no-poach agreements between employers illegal and subject to criminal penalties, will come into force on 23 June. In this context, the Canadian authority will consider these agreements as per se illegal within the scope of the guidelines. It should nonetheless be noted that the draft guidelines foresee that wage-fixing or no-poaching agreements will not be criminally pursued if they are ancillary to mergers, joint ventures or strategic alliances, unless said transactions or collaborations are a sham or the restrictions are broader than necessary.FTC proposes ban on worker non-compete clausesThe Federal Trade Commission of the United States stated that non-compete clauses are harmful to both the labor market and innovation, and the proposed regulation would make them illegal. Lina Khan, the chairperson of the FTC, said that "Workers that are currently stuck in place, effectively, would be able to freely move to another job." She has also noted that research shows that labor markets have become much more concentrated and that the primary aim with this proposal is to get competition over workers among employers to a higher level so that higher wages and better working conditions can be attained by workers. If the regulation enters into force as proposed, it would be completely prohibited for employers to have or keep non-compete agreements with their employees, and they would have to inform their workers that any existing non-compete agreements would be invalid.Ruling on the first margin squeeze case in KoreaThe Seoul High Court has rejected an appeal from two telecommunication companies (LG U+ and KT), which were jointly accused of margin squeezing. This is the first ruling in Korea that clearly states that this behavior constitutes an abuse of dominance. The Korean Fair Trade Commission issued its first abuse of dominance fine for the margin squeeze in November 2014. The companies appealed against that decision and the Court overturned the Commission's fine in January 2018. However, the Supreme Court decided that the Commission's decision was legitimate and it was correct to penalise the squeezing of competitors' profits in 2021. Finally, the Seoul High Court dismissed the companies' request to overturn the Commission's decision in January 2023.The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

The program, which launched today at an event in Rome, aims to enhance the learning experience so teachers and students can take advantage of digital tools, content, and experiences. 5G Smart School improves teaching and learning in secondary schools (students aged 11 to 19) across Italy using wireless technologies, 5G connectivity, access to an online learning platform, training on innovative digital teaching methodologies, and continuous teacher support.Marco De Rossi, CEO WeSchool says: "5G Smart School proves that technology in education is not just a tool to improve individual work. Technology, connectivity and innovative methodologies can also enhance in-person collaboration, envisioning a new school model for the future."Education is a key driver for growth, economic prosperity, and the advancement of both developed and developing countries. Access to new digital technologies and ultra-broadband connectivity can bridge the digital divide by bringing high quality education to all communities regardless of income, status or location. However, substantial barriers remain in effectively utilizing these new technologies in schools. According to World Economic Forum data, more than 60% of global GDP in 2022 is expected to depend on digital technologies. Yet, 37% of the world population, close to 3 billion people, remain offline and many others only have access to unreliable internet connections.1Enrico Salvatori, Senior Vice President, Qualcomm Europe, Inc. and President, Qualcomm Europe/MEA, says: "Qualcomm is a leader in advanced technologies and solutions that are essential to bridge the digital divide, including wireless connectivity and high-performance, low power systems. We believe access to advanced digital tools in schools is so important for students' educational growth. The 5G Smart School Program is an example of our efforts within the Italian school system and schools, across Europe and the world to narrow the divide.The 5G Smart School program addresses the obstacles to the adoption of wireless technologies in and outside of the classroom, including the need for digital content and assessment, infrastructure, privacy and security, and professional development for teachers. The program seeks to accelerate the development of digital skills among Italian secondary school students, beginning with nearly 2,000 students and 100 teachers across eight schools. Teachers and students are provided with advanced digital tools, such as Snapdragon(TM) 5G platform-enabled ACER notebooks for teachers and WiFi models for students. The devices are connected to TIM's 5G network, which enables ultra-reliable, fast and high-quality connections, and expanded opportunities for collaborative educational experiences within and across schools. These "always on, always connected" personal computers enable teachers to connect to the internet and lesson plan from anywhere.Daniele Franceschini, Head of Technology and IT Planning, Engineering & Innovation at TIM says:"Our commitment has always been to guarantee quality connectivity services and accelerate digital transformation in Italy. We joined this project because we believe that it is in line with what we are already doing in every sector, both public and private. The 5G FWA and 5G mmWave technologies are a further tool to bring our Italian schools up to the pace of innovation".Teachers receive ongoing training and access to the WeSchool online platform that prepares them to leverage the educational tools. This includes Minecraft for Education and CoSpaces Edu, combining these tools with innovative methodologies such as Project Based Learning and Role Play, to make teaching more effective and learning more engaging, favouring the development of soft and hard skills in students and involving teachers regardless of their starting level in digital knowledge and the subject they teach. The second phase of the project also features virtual reality headsets in order to enhance immersivity and engagement, bringing advanced technologies to schools located both in urban and rural areas.Alessandro Barbesta, Commercial Head of Acer Italy says: "We gladly joined the 5G Smart School program, which allowed us to equip the involved schools with our devices and let students and teachers use the necessary technological tools in order to improve their teaching experience.

Stockholders who have already voted, either by mail, the internet or telephone, need not vote today unless you wish to change your vote. Ballots are available to anyone who did not pick one up at the registration table and would like one. Please raise your hand at this time if you would like a ballot. Okay, great. + + + At this meeting is a complete list of stockholders of record of the company's common stock on January 9, 2023 which is the record date for this meeting. And I also have an affidavit certifying that on January 19, 2023, a notice of the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders was distributed to stockholders of record as of the close of business on the record date. I've appointed Mr. Peter Descovich to act as the inspector of election for this meeting. Mr. Descovich has taken as subscribed to the customary oath of office to execute his duties with strict impartiality. The inspector's function is to decide upon the qualification of voters, to accept their votes and when balloting is complete, to tally the final votes. + + + Mr. Descovich is also on the line with us today. And I've been informed by the Inspector of Election, that at least a majority of the company's outstanding shares of common stock are present in person or by proxy. This constitutes a quorum for the transaction of business. Since the requirements for calling this meeting have been duly observed and there are represented here more than the necessary number of shares of the outstanding common stock of the company to conduct - constitute a quorum, I hereby declare this meeting to be duly constituted for the transaction of all business. + + + The formal business of this meeting is listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting and proxy statement that was provided to stockholders. There are four proposals to be considered by stockholders at this meeting and I will now place each of these proposals before the meeting. + + + The first item of business is proposal number One which is the election of 12 directors to serve until next year's Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The board has nominated the following persons for election as directors of the company and recommends that the stockholders vote for each nominee. Those are Sylvia Acevedo, Cristiano Amon, Mark Fields, Jeff Henderson, Greg Johnson, Ann Livermore, Mark McLaughlin, Jamie Miller, Irene Rosenfeld, Neil Smith, Jean-Pascal Tricoire and Tony Vinciquerra. These nominations need no second. Since no other director nominations were received prior to the deadline specified in our bylaws and stated in last year's proxy materials, the nominations are now closed. + + + + + 2 + + + + + + + Qualcomm Incorporated + + + 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders + + + The next item of business is proposal Two; the ratification of this election of PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP as the company's independent public accounts for our fiscal year ending September 24, 2023. And the board recommends its stockholders vote for this proposal. + + + And the next item of business is proposal number Three which askes stockholders to approve the Qualcomm Incorporated 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan described in the proxy. And the board recommends that the stockholders vote for this proposal. + + + And finally, proposal number four, which asks stockholders to adopt the resolution described in the proxy statement, to approve the compensation of the company's named executive officers on a nonbinding advisory basis. And the board recommends that the stockholders vote for this proposal. That concludes the proposals for today's meeting. Are there any questions on any of these proposals? + + + If you wish to vote by ballot on these matters, please hold up your ballot at this time so that an usher may collect it. Anybody going to collect them? Hang on a second, here we go. + + + Okay, looks like we have all the ballots. Thank you. I now declare the polls closed. The Inspector of Election has informed me that based on preliminary count of the proxies received, that all nominees for directors have been elected. The selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the company's independent public accountants for our fiscal year ending September 24, 2023, was ratified. The company's 2023 Long Term Incentive Plan has been approved and the stockholder advisory vote of the compensation of the company's named executive officers has been approved. The final voting results will be published in our website and reported within four business days on a Form 8K which will be filed with the Security and Exchange Commission. This ends the formal business of our meeting. + + + On behalf of Qualcomm's Board of Directors and Executive Team, wish to thank you for your continued support of Qualcomm. Cristiano will now provide a brief business overview after which we will have a question-and-answer session and this meeting will conclude. Any stockholder with questions should form a line at the microphones in the aisles after Cristiano's presentation. And in fairness to all the stockholders, you'll be permitted up to two minutes for your questions or comments. If you have a question that we are not able to address, please contact our investor relations group. + + + Please note that we may make forward looking statements during the presentation or the question-and-answer session regarding future events or results of the company. Actual events or results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Please refer to the risk factor section of the company's most recent + + + + + 3 + + + + + + + Qualcomm Incorporated + + + 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders + + + quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a description of important factors that could cause actual items or results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. And now, I'd like to turn the meeting over to Cristiano. Thank you for being here. + + +Cristiano R. Amon - Qualcomm Incorporated, President and Chief Executive Officer + + + Good morning, everyone. Welcome to the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Also, those that are watching us online. We're very excited about the future of Qualcomm. And we continue to believe that the best of Qualcomm is yet to come. + + + We are executing on our strategy. We're beyond connecting everyone. We have an opportunity to connect everything and make everything intelligently connected. The company's also changing from a communications company to a connected processor and intelligence company for the intelligent edge. That is a great opportunity to expand our addressable market and it's an opportunity to continue to change Qualcomm by innovation and becoming this great innovation engine. Not only for the wireless industry but for advanced artificial intelligence and processor industry. + + + Our role is to bring data processing and intelligence to the edge enabling cloud edge convergency. We're quickly moving to a world where everything is connected to the cloud 100% of the time. There are digital twins of everything. And Qualcomm will play a role connecting and make those devices intelligent outside the data center. And that's the opportunity for us. + + + We are in a unique position with our one technology roadmap. The roadmap that we developed for mobile enabled the company to be not only a leader in wireless communication - one of the things that is probably not well known from Qualcomm, besides being the first with every cellular technology, we're also the number one in the world with Wi-Fi technologies. But we also have developed a number of computing capabilities as our most beloved device, the smartphone, became one of the most important computers in the world as well as development platform. And we're taking that capability to every other industry. + + + We're in a unique position that the three pillars of our technology, which is everything wireless communication, high performance, low power compute and artificial intelligence can be taken to every industry. We can scale for a phone, all the way to an autonomous car and to a number of different industrial applications. And as our roadmap enables those capabilities, Qualcomm business is expanding to all of those different markets. From handsets to automotive to the broader Internet of Things across consumer networking and the participating in the next industrial revolution that is happening as digital transformation is now part of every enterprise. + + + + + 4 + + + + + + + Qualcomm Incorporated + + + 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders + + + We will always remain the company that sets the pace of innovation in wireless. And we continue to define a new standard for smartphones. You know, the latest chipset from Qualcomm, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, has been the first in the world with a number of different technologies, including the ability to integrate artificial intelligence in every single capability of the chipset. Our modem is intelligent. It learns about yourself, about how to use it. It gets better over time. Our camera is intelligent. And we have one of the largest neuro processor unit for AI into a smartphone. + + + An example of that was recently demonstrated at the Mobile World Congress. Our stable diffusion demo was the most popular demo at MWC. And what really, what it's doing is showing that we can run what is called a large language model of artificial intelligence with over 1 billion parameters into the smartphone in the palm of your hand. That creates an incredible opportunity. I'm sure many of you have heard about the applications of those large language models of AI such as ChatGPT. And we have the ability to run this locally into your smartphone as well into other devices as well. + + + I also wanted to highlight that Snapdragon is really becoming synonymous with flagship smartphone. I cannot pick a better example to describe that to you which is when Samsung, in their Galaxy product line, heavily advertised Snapdragon as one of the key capabilities of the device. The Snapdragon continues to expand within the ecosystem. We have 65 designs today across every single flagship in the Android operating system. And we'll continue to create opportunities for Qualcomm, especially as we look at the next innovation cycle beyond 5G, as we had said in the early days of 5G. 5G will democratize artificial intelligence and will bring that to a scale. And I think we're starting to demonstrate that the next big upgrade cycle of smartphone is the ability to run, you know, complex artificial intelligence models into your device. + + + I also want to highlight what Qualcomm is doing in the automotive business. The automotive business has been one of the brightest spots of our company's expansion and diversification. And Qualcomm really became one of the leading providers of technology to the automotive industry. Car companies are asked two things of their investors. First question is, are you electrical. The second question is, are you digital. And that's where we found ourselves really getting support for the industry because we developed something very unique. + + + The Snapdragon Digital Chassis is really a digital platform for the car that enables the car to be connected to the cloud 100% of the time. It enables a digital cockpit experience including new services for the automakers. It enables an ADAS, assisted driving and autonomy platform. We have over 30 billion design pipeline. And I think we're just at the beginning of a very significant opportunity. + + + + + 5 + + + +Attachments + + + Original Link + + + Original Document + + + Permalink + + + + +Disclaimer +Qualcomm Inc. published this content on 10 March 2023 and is solely responsible for the information contained therein.

The first was the exclusivity decision squashed by the Court," he told the General Court.He said the 3G baseband chipsets singled out in the case accounted for just 0.7% of the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) market and thus it was not possible for Qualcomm to shut out rivals from the chipset market."What price should Qualcomm have charged for each chipset and each quarter to allow it to pass the price cost test?" Rato said.Qualcomm's actions showed it was determined to eliminate a rival before it could pose a competitive threat, Commission lawyer Carlos Urraca Caviedes told the court."Icera was about to gain a solid foothold in the market segment which was strategically important for future growth. Qualcomm feared that if it did not take action, Icera would grow to expand and become a formidable rival," he said. The court will rule in the coming months.

Mylan had previously filed a petition for IPR against the grandparent patent of the '681 patent (IPR2021-00881; “the -00881 IPR”) and the Board found the challenged claims of that patent anticipated by Dixon. See Mylan Pharms.

Nov. 9, 2022).Representative claim 1 of the '681 patent reads:A method for treating an angiogenic eye disorder in a patient, said method comprising sequentially administering to the patient a single initial dose of a VEGF antagonist, followed by one or more secondary doses of the VEGF antagonist, followed by one or more tertiary doses of the VEGF antagonist;wherein each secondary dose is administered 2 to 4 weeks after the immediately preceding dose; andwherein each tertiary dose is administered at least 8 weeks after the immediately preceding dose;wherein the VEGF antagonist is a VEGF receptor-based chimeric molecule comprising(1) a VEGFR1 component comprising amino acids 27 to 129 of SEQ ID NO:2;(2) a VEGFR2 component comprising amino acids 130-231 of SEQ ID NO:2; and(3) a multimerization component comprising amino acids 232-457 of SEQ ID NO:2;wherein exclusion criteria for the patient include all of:(1) active intraocular inflammation;(2) active ocular or periocular infection;(3) any ocular or periocular infection within the last 2 weeks.PTAB DecisionThe Board granted the petition for IPR, finding that Petitioner had shown a reasonable likelihood of success in demonstrating that at least one of the challenged claims was unpatentable.Claim ConstructionThree distinct issues were discussed in the institution decision relating to claim construction: (1) limitations set forth by the claim preamble; (2) the proper construction for the terms “initial dose,” “secondary dose,” and “tertiary dose”; and (3) limitations set forth by the exclusion criteria recited in the claims. Petitioner Mylan first argued that the claim preamble, “[a] method for treating an angiogenic eye disorder in a patient,” was “merely a statement of intended purpose, and therefore, not a limitation,” and that the preamble provided no antecedent basis for any other claim element. Id.  at *9. Patent Owner Regeneron countered, arguing that the preamble was limiting, that it required “treating,” and that the “'method for treating' requires a high level of efficacy.” Id.In its analysis, the Board noted that in the -00881 IPR, the claim preamble for a nearly identical claimed method of treatment was found to be limiting because the claim and specification characterized the method as “one for treating angiogenic eye disorders in patients.” Id.  at *10. The Board indicated that the same reasoning applied in the present petition. However, the Board held that the claim preamble did not require a high level of efficacy as alleged by Patent Owner. Quoting from the -00881 Final Written Decision, the Board said, “[t]he Specification refers to a 'high level of efficacy' in one instance, i.e., in the 'Background' section. The Specification does not describe there, or elsewhere that 'treating,' in the context of the claims or in the art, requires achieving a 'high level of efficacy.'” Id.  at *11. Thus, the Board held that the claim preamble was limiting, but that it did not require a high level of efficacy as alleged by Patent Owner.Turning to the construction of “initial dose,” “secondary dose,” and “tertiary dose,” Petitioner argued that the '681 patent specification provided express definitions of these terms that should be applied. At col. 3 ll. 34-44, the Specification reads:The terms “initial dose,” “secondary doses,” and “tertiary doses,” refer to the temporal sequence of administration of the VEGF antagonist Thus, the “initial dose” is the dose which is administered at the beginning of the treatment regimen (also referred to as the “baseline dose”) ; the “secondary doses” are the doses which are administered after the initial dose; and the “tertiary doses” are the doses which are administered after the secondary doses. The initial, secondary, and tertiary doses may all contain the same amount of dosing regimens, but will generally differ from one another in terms of frequency of administration.Mylan IPR2022-01225, Paper 21 at *12.Patent Owner contended that the claim terms require achieving and maintaining a high level of efficacy and were not just a mere temporal sequence. Id.  at *12-13. Patent Owner additionally argued that the “less frequent 'tertiary dose(s)' following more frequent 'initial' and 'secondary' doses—must actually 'treat[]' the angiogenic eye disorder for which the VEGF antagonist is being administered, and such treatment must be comparable in efficacy to standard-of-care Lucentis and off-label Avastin.” Id.  at *13.Siding with Petitioner, the Board found that due to the presence of clear and express definitions in the specification, there is no reason to construe the terms any differently. Id.  at *14. The Board also noted that nothing in the disclosure required the “tertiary doses” to maintain any specific level of efficacy. Id.  at *13-14.Lastly, the Board addressed the exclusion criteria element of claim 1 of the '861 patent, which recites:[W]herein exclusion criteria for the patient include all of:Id. at *14. Petitioner argued that the recited exclusion criteria hold no patentable weight in view of the printed matter doctrine. Id. at *14-16, citing Praxair Distrib., Inc. v. Mallinckrodt Hosp. Prods. IP Ltd., 890 F.3d 1024, 1032 (Fed. Cir. 2018). Under the Praxair framework, the decision-maker first determines whether a given claim limitation is directed to printed matter, i.e., “if it claims the content of information.” Praxair, 890 F.3d 1024, 1032 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (citing In re DiStefano, 808 F.3d 845, 848 (Fed. Cir. 2015)). Then, the decision-maker determines if the printed matter is “interrelated with the rest of the claim” or, in other words, if the printed matter is “functionally related to its 'substrate'” Id. Petitioner argued that the exclusion criteria represented informational content because it included no active step of application (part one of Praxair analysis) and had no functional relation to the rest of the claim (part two of Praxair  analysis). Mylan, IPR2022-01225, Paper 21 at *15.Addressing part one of the Praxair analysis, Patent Owner responded by alleging that the “wherein” clause of the exclusion criteria served to limit those who may be treated by the claimed method, that the exclusion criteria were not directed to a communication of information, and that it was “well-established that claim terms defining patient populations to be treated with a claimed method are limiting.” Id.  at *16. Patent Owner further argued that under part two of the Praxair analysis, the exclusion criteria are functionally related to the body of the claim because they define the population to be treated and because the method “recited administering steps to be performed only on patients who do not meet the exclusion criteria, creating a functional relationship with the rest of the claim.” Id.  at *17.Despite Patent Owners arguments, the Board held that “there is little question that the exclusion criteria are directed to informational content,” and that the exclusion criteria provide information to the practitioner of the claimed method “concerning criteria to assess risks that may be incurred when practicing a method with a patient.” Id.  at *19. Moving to step two of the Praxair analysis, the Board found that the exclusion criteria were not functionally related to the rest of the claim. In particular, the Board noted that “[t]he claims do not expressly recite any positive step to be performed (or a negative step not  to be performed) should a patient meet the exclusion criteria.” Id.  The Board continued, “an individual practicing the method of the challenged claims would be similarly free to ignore the conditions of the exclusionary criteria and still be practicing the claimed method.” Id.  The Board therefore found that the recited exclusion criteria were not limiting upon the challenged claims under the printed matter doctrine. Id.  at *20.AnticipationThe Board began its anticipation analysis by noting that claim 1 of the '681 patent and claim 1 from the ‑00881 IPR are identical, except for the exclusion criteria included in presently challenged claim 1. In the -00881 IPR, the Board held that the challenged claims were anticipated by Dixon. Referencing the similarities between claim 1 of the '681 patent to the challenged claims of the -00881 IPR and the Board's reasoning that exclusion criteria are not a limitation on the challenged claims, the Board concluded that Petitioner had demonstrated a reasonable likelihood that claim 1 is unpatentable as being anticipated by Dixon.Discretionary DenialPatent Owner finally urged the Board to exercise its discretion under 35 U.S.C. § 314(a) to deny institution. Patent Owner alleged that Petitioner delayed filing the present petition in order “to leverage information acquired during the course of IPR2021-00881 to bolster arguments made in the present petition.” Id. at *25. Patent Owner also argued that the Board has shown a willingness to consider a General Plastic argument when “a second petition challenges a related patent with a common specification to the first challenged patent.” Id. Acknowledging that the patents in the -00881 IPR and the present petition share a common specification, the Board found that the fact that the claims are identical except for the exclusion criteria, which may not have “patentable weight,” weighs strongly in favor of granting institution due to the “effect … on the … integrity of the patent system” and therefore denied the request for discretionary denial. Id.  at *27.TakeawaysWe expect that many stakeholders and members of the patent bar are highly anticipating the final written decision in this case. This is especially true for practitioners in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, where methods of treatment for specific patient populations are commonly claimed. Practitioners currently drafting patents directed to methods of treatment may want to consider alternative ways to recite a limitation directed to a patient population to be treated (or excluded), using the Praxair  framework as guidance. Rather than simply reciting exclusionary criteria, it may be wise to include steps of actively incorporating or using exclusionary criteria in a claimed method to ensure that the exclusionary criteria avoid being characterized as printed matter that is not related to the rest of the claim.While the Board's reasoning related to the exclusionary criteria and whether or not it would be construed as a claim limitation garners most of the attention from this decision, it is important to note that the Board construed other claim terms based on their corresponding definitions set forth in the patent specification. This serves as an important reminder to carefully consider definitions of terms and phrases provided in the specification. Intrinsic evidence is examined first in the claim construction process, and if the specification sets forth an express definition for a claim term, the patentee's lexicography will govern. Carefully and thoughtfully establishing definitions of key terms can strengthen a patent against future validity challenges and more clearly set forth instances of infringement. But, as we saw in this case, providing explicit definitions may create a situation of “live by the sword, die by the sword.”The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter.

(NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today presented positive results from the clinical trial assessing Dupixent® (dupilumab) in adults and adolescents with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe atopic hand and foot dermatitis. The trial, the first evaluating a biologic for this difficult-to-treat population, met its primary and key secondary endpoints. The results were featured in a late-breaking session, one of more than 20 Dupixent scientific presentations, at the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) 2023 Annual Meeting.“Atopic hand and foot dermatitis can extensively disrupt the lives of patients, given the intense itch and painful skin lesions it causes on essential body areas,” said Eric L. Simpson, M.D., Frances J. Storrs Professor of Medical Dermatology at the Oregon Health and Science University and principal investigator of this trial. “In this trial, Dupixent significantly improved disease signs, symptoms and quality of life measures for this particularly difficult-to-treat subset of atopic dermatitis patients, with itch improvement seen as early as one week after the first dose. While the efficacy and safety profile of Dupixent is well-established for atopic dermatitis more broadly, these positive results are the first demonstrating the impact on specific and heavily used areas of the body.”In the trial, patients received Dupixent (n=67) every two weeks (adults 300 mg, adolescents 200 mg or 300 mg based on body weight) or placebo (n=66). At 16 weeks, patients treated with Dupixent experienced the following:The trial demonstrated similar safety results to the known safety profile of Dupixent in atopic dermatitis. Overall rates of adverse events (AEs) were 66% for Dupixent and 74% for placebo. AEs more commonly observed with Dupixent (≥5%) compared to placebo included nasopharyngitis (16% Dupixent, 11% placebo), upper respiratory tract infection (9% Dupixent, 5% placebo), conjunctivitis (6% Dupixent, 2% placebo), herpes viral infections (6% Dupixent, 3% placebo) and increased blood creatine phosphokinase (6% Dupixent, 0% placebo). Additionally, 3% of patients taking Dupixent used at least one rescue medication compared to 21% of patients on placebo.There are 23 Dupixent scientific abstracts being presented across three dermatological diseases with underlying type 2 inflammation at the AAD 2023 Annual Meeting. These include oral presentations on long-term Dupixent use in children as young as 6 months with atopic dermatitis; the impact of Dupixent treatment on health-related quality of life, skin pain and sleep in prurigo nodularis; and the investigational use of Dupixent on signs, symptoms and health-related quality of life in chronic spontaneous urticaria.The potential use of Dupixent in chronic spontaneous urticaria is currently under clinical development, and the safety and efficacy have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.About the Dupixent TrialThe Phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Dupixent in 133 adolescents and adults with moderate-to-severe atopic hand and foot dermatitis who had an inadequate response or intolerance to topical corticosteroids. Patients with hand and foot disease predominantly driven by allergic or irritant contact dermatitis were excluded from the trial.The primary endpoint evaluated the proportion of patients with clear or almost clear skin of hand and feet eczema at 16 weeks (measured by a score of 0 or 1 on the Investigator Global Assessment Scale). The key secondary endpoint measured the proportion of patients with improvement in itch on hands and feet from baseline (measured by a ≥4-point reduction in Peak-Pruritis Numeric Rating Scale [PP-NRS] on a 0-10 scale) at 16 weeks. Lesion sign reduction was assessed by change from baseline in Modified Total Lesion Sign Score (mTLSS; measured by a 0-36 scale), and disease severity was assessed by the change from baseline in Hand Eczema Severity Index (HECSI) score (measured by a 0-360 scale). Symptoms were assessed every one or two weeks during the trial.Additional secondary endpoints included:About DupixentDupixent, which was invented using Regeneron’s proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. These diseases include approved indications for Dupixent such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and prurigo nodularis.Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in one or more countries around the world for use in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP, EoE or prurigo nodularis, in different age populations. Dupixent is currently approved for one or more of these indications in more than 60 countries, including in the U.S., European Union and Japan. More than 600,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally.About Regeneron’s VelocImmune TechnologyRegeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create a substantial proportion of all original, FDA-approved or authorized fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn).Dupilumab Development ProgramDupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including pediatric EoE, chronic inducible urticaria-cold, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic pruritus of unknown origin, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with evidence of type 2 inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and bullous pemphigoid. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.U.S. INDICATIONSDUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONDo not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.Before using DUPIXENT, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the- counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines; have asthma and use an asthma medicine; or have atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, eosinophilic esophagitis, or prurigo nodularis and also have asthma.

(NASDAQ: REGN) today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has extended the approval of Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering therapies to treat children aged 5 to 11 with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH). Evkeeza is the first angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3) inhibitor treatment indicated for children as young as 5 years old to control dangerously high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) caused by HoFH. Evkeeza was initially approved as an adjunct to other lipid-lowering therapies in those aged 12 years and older with HoFH in February 2021.“At the Family Heart Foundation, we know that children with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and those caring for them, often live in fear of what the future holds as they contend with the dangerously high levels of bad cholesterol, or LDL-C, caused by this genetic disorder,” said Mary McGowan, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of the Family Heart Foundation. “Only 5% of rare diseases actually have an FDA-approved treatment. With this FDA approval, the HoFH community now has a much-needed treatment for young children, potentially making it possible for many to achieve recommended LDL-C levels much earlier in the course of this rare disease. This is a hopeful development for those living with HoFH.”HoFH is an ultra-rare inherited condition that affects approximately 1,300 people in the U.S. and is the most severe form of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). HoFH occurs when two copies of the FH-causing genes are inherited, one from each parent, resulting in dangerously high levels (usually >400 mg/dL) of LDL-C. Those living with HoFH are at risk for premature atherosclerotic disease and cardiac events even in their teenage years. Many patients are not diagnosed or are only diagnosed later in life.“Guidelines recommend screening all children at high risk for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia starting at age 2. However, until now, a positive diagnosis was often met with the frustration of having limited treatment options to help these children,” said Carissa M. Baker-Smith, M.D., MPH, Co-Director of Nemours Cardiac Center Cardiovascular Research and Innovation Program, Director of Nemours Cardiac Center Pediatric Preventive Cardiology, pediatric cardiologist, and a trial investigator. “By adding Evkeeza to standard lipid-lowering therapies in this pivotal trial, children were able to reduce their LDL-C, with the vast majority able to achieve declines of nearly 50%. These are clinically meaningful results that physicians should consider when developing a treatment approach for these young patients.”Despite treatment with other lipid-lowering therapies, children entered the Phase 3 trial with an average LDL-C level of 264 mg/dL, more than twice the target (<110 mg/dL) for pediatric patients with HoFH. With the addition of Evkeeza, children were able to reduce their LDL-C by 48% at week 24 on average, meeting the trial’s primary endpoint. Significant reductions were also observed in other key secondary endpoints including levels of apolipoprotein B (ApoB), non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) and total cholesterol.The safety profile of Evkeeza observed in these patients (n=20) was consistent with the safety profile observed in adults and pediatric patients aged 12 years and older, with the additional adverse reaction of fatigue. Fatigue was reported in 3 (15%) patients. The most common adverse events (AEs) occurring in >15% of patients were COVID-19 (n=15), pyrexia (n=5), headache (n=4), throat pain (oropharyngeal pain, n=4) as well as upper abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, nasopharyngitis, rhinitis and cough (all n=3). Most reported AEs were mild or moderate, and none led to study discontinuation.“Since it was first approved, Evkeeza has become the standard of care for homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia in those aged 12 years or older. We’re gratified that now children as young as 5 years old have the potential to benefit from this treatment,” said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron. “As a first-in-class medicine for this relentless disease, Evkeeza exemplifies the promise of genetics-based research to transform treatment paradigms. Evkeeza’s journey from target discovery to treatment innovation was only made possible due to our long-term investment in genetics research and monoclonal antibody technologies, and this remains a central tenet of our science-first approach to this day.”Regeneron is committed to helping patients who have been prescribed Evkeeza access their medication. Regeneron's myRARE™ patient support program offers financial assistance to eligible patients who need help with the out-of-pocket cost of Evkeeza. Under the program, eligible patients with commercial insurance may pay as little as $0 in out-of-pocket costs for Evkeeza. In addition, myRARE™ offers resources to help patients and healthcare providers get started with Evkeeza including product information, insurance benefit verification, community resources and appointment reminders.

The effect of Evkeeza on cardiovascular morbidity and mortality has not been determined.About the Pivotal Pediatric TrialThe three-part, single-arm, open-label trial evaluated Evkeeza added to other lipid-lowering therapies in pediatric patients with HoFH aged 5 to 11 years. Part A (n=6) was a Phase 1b trial designed to assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety and tolerability of Evkeeza. Part B (n=14) evaluated the efficacy of Evkeeza during a 24-week treatment period and enrolled patients with an average age of 9 years. Among them, 86% were on statins, 93% were on ezetimibe, 50% were on LDL apheresis and 14% were on lomitapide. Patients received Evkeeza 15 mg/kg every four weeks delivered intravenously alongside their lipid-lowering treatment regimen. The primary endpoint was change in LDL-C at week 24. Secondary endpoints included the effect of Evkeeza on other lipid parameters (i.e., apolipoprotein B, non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein[a] and total cholesterol), efficacy by mutation status, safety and tolerability, immunogenicity and PK.Patients who completed Part A or B were allowed to continue treatment in Part C (n=20), an ongoing Phase 3 extension trial. Parts A, B and C were not designed to evaluate the effect of Evkeeza on cardiovascular events.About Evkeeza® (evinacumab)Evkeeza was invented using Regeneron’s VelocImmune® technology and is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to and blocks the function of angiopoietin-like 3 (ANGPTL3), a protein that inhibits lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and endothelial lipase (EL) and regulates circulating lipids, including LDL-C.Regeneron scientists discovered the angiopoietin gene family more than two decades ago. Human genetics research published in New England Journal of Medicine in 2017 by scientists from the Regeneron Genetics Center® found that patients whose ANGPTL3 gene did not function properly (called a “loss-of function mutation”) have significantly lower levels of key blood lipids, including LDL-C, and that this is associated with a significantly lower risk of coronary artery disease.The generic name for Evkeeza in its approved U.S. indications is evinacumab-dgnb, with dgnb the suffix designated in accordance with Nonproprietary Naming of Biological Products Guidance for Industry issued by the U.S. FDA.Regeneron is responsible for the development and distribution of Evkeeza in the U.S. and is collaborating with Ultragenyx to clinically develop, commercialize and distribute Evkeeza outside of the U.S.About Regeneron’s VelocImmune TechnologyRegeneron’s VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies.

(NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced the primary and all key secondary endpoints were met in a Phase 3 trial evaluating the investigational use of Dupixent® (dupilumab) compared to placebo in adults currently on maximal standard-of-care inhaled therapy (triple therapy) with uncontrolled chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and evidence of type 2 inflammation. Dupixent is the first and only biologic to demonstrate a clinically meaningful and highly significant reduction (30%) in moderate or severe acute exacerbations of COPD (rapid and acute worsening of respiratory symptoms) over 52 weeks, while also demonstrating significant improvements in lung function, quality of life and COPD respiratory symptoms.“COPD is an urgent global health concern and a notoriously difficult-to-treat disease due to its heterogeneity, with no novel treatments approved in more than a decade,” said George D. Yancopoulos, M.D., Ph.D., President and Chief Scientific Officer at Regeneron, and a principal inventor of Dupixent. “In this landmark Phase 3 trial, patients with uncontrolled COPD achieved clinical outcomes with Dupixent at a magnitude never before seen with a biologic. These results also validate the role type 2 inflammation plays in driving COPD in these patients, advancing the scientific community’s understanding of the underlying biology of this disease. We look forward to discussing these exciting results with regulatory authorities.”COPD is a life-threatening respiratory disease that damages the lungs and causes progressive lung function decline. Symptoms include persistent cough and breathlessness that may not only impair the ability to perform routine daily activities, but can also lead to anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances. COPD is also associated with a significant health and economic burden due to recurrent acute exacerbations that require systemic corticosteroid treatment and/or lead to hospitalization or even death. Smoking is a key risk factor for COPD, but even individuals who quit smoking can still develop the disease. In the U.S. alone, approximately 300,000 people live with uncontrolled COPD with type 2 inflammation.“Change cannot come quick enough for people living with uncontrolled COPD, but unfortunately, many investigational treatments have failed to demonstrate significant clinical outcomes leaving these vulnerable patients with limited treatment options. We took a bold approach with our direct to Phase 3 program, shaving years off standard clinical development timelines,” said Dietmar Berger, M.D., Ph.D., Head of Global R&D ad interim at Sanofi and Chief Medical Officer. “We are excited to share these unprecedented and potentially paradigm-shifting clinical results, which may give new hope to patients, caregivers and physicians.”  In the BOREAS trial (the first of two Phase 3 trials), 939 adults who were current or former smokers aged 40 to 80 years were randomized to receive Dupixent (n=468) or placebo (n=471) added to maximal standard-of-care inhaled therapy. Patients receiving Dupixent experienced:Dupixent met all endpoints tested in the hierarchy, including improvement in patient-reported health-related quality of life as measured by the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) and reduction in the severity of respiratory symptoms of COPD as measured by Evaluation Respiratory Symptoms: COPD (E-RS: COPD) Scale.The safety results were generally consistent with the known safety profile of Dupixent in its approved indications. Overall rates of adverse events (AEs) were 77% for Dupixent and 76% for placebo. AEs more commonly observed with Dupixent compared to placebo included headache (8.1% Dupixent, 6.8% placebo), diarrhea (5.3% Dupixent, 3.6% placebo) and back pain (5.1% Dupixent, 3.4% placebo). AEs more commonly observed with placebo compared to Dupixent included upper respiratory tract infection (9.8% placebo, 7.9% Dupixent), hypertension (6.0% placebo, 3.6% Dupixent) and COVID-19 (5.7% placebo, 4.1% Dupixent). AEs leading to deaths were balanced between the two arms (1.7% placebo, 1.5% Dupixent).Detailed efficacy and safety results from this trial will be presented in a future scientific forum.The broader Sanofi and Regeneron COPD clinical research program includes Phase 3 trials with itepekimab, a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits interleukin-33 (IL-33). Itepekimab received Fast Track Designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in January 2023 for the treatment of COPD in patients who do not currently smoke. Data from this pivotal program is expected in 2025.The safety and efficacy of Dupixent and itepekimab in COPD have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.About the Dupixent COPD Phase 3 Trial ProgramBOREAS is one of two pivotal trials in the Dupixent COPD program. The randomized, Phase 3, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Dupixent in 939 adults who were current or former smokers aged 40 to 80 years with moderate-to-severe COPD. All patients in the trial had evidence of type 2 inflammation, as measured by blood eosinophils ≥300 cells/µL. During the 52-week treatment period, patients received Dupixent or placebo every two weeks added to a triple therapy of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), long-acting beta agonists, and long-acting muscarinic antagonists. Double maintenance therapy was allowed if ICS was contraindicated.The primary endpoint evaluated the annualized rate of acute moderate or severe COPD exacerbations. Moderate exacerbations were defined as those requiring systemic steroids and/or antibiotics. Severe exacerbations were defined as those: requiring hospitalization; more than a day of observation in an emergency department or urgent care facility; or resulting in death. Key secondary endpoints included: change from baseline in lung function (assessed by pre-bronchodilator forced expiratory volume [FEV1]) at 12 and 52 weeks; change from baseline at 52 weeks in SGRQ total score compared to placebo; the proportion of patients with SGRQ improvement ≥4 points at 52 weeks; and the change from baseline at 52 weeks in the ERS: COPD Scale symptom score.The second, replicate Phase 3 trial of Dupixent in COPD (NOTUS) is ongoing with data expected in 2024.About Regeneron and Sanofi’s COPD Clinical Research ProgramRegeneron and Sanofi are motivated to transform the treatment paradigm of COPD by examining the role different types of inflammation play in the disease progression through the investigation of two potentially first-in-class biologics, Dupixent and itepekimab.Dupixent inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and the program focuses on a specific population of people with evidence of type 2 inflammation. Itepekimab is a fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to and inhibits interleukin-33 (IL-33), an initiator and amplifier of broad inflammation in COPD. Across both programs, four Phase 3 trials are ongoing and designed to inform next-generation treatments for people with COPD who might not have other options.About DupixentDupixent is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. These diseases include approved indications for Dupixent, such as atopic dermatitis, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and prurigo nodularis.Dupixent has received regulatory approvals in one or more countries around the world for use in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP, EoE or prurigo nodularis in different age populations. Dupixent is currently approved for one or more of these indications in more than 60 countries, including in Europe, the U.S. and Japan. More than 600,000 patients are being treated with Dupixent globally.About Regeneron's VelocImmune TechnologyRegeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create a substantial proportion of all original, FDA-approved or authorized fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb® (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn).Dupilumab Development ProgramDupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including pediatric EoE, chronic inducible urticaria-cold, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic pruritus of unknown origin, COPD with evidence of type 2 inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and bullous pemphigoid. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.U.S. INDICATIONSDUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATIONDo not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.Before using DUPIXENT, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the- counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines; have asthma and use an asthma medicine; or have atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis, eosinophilic esophagitis, or prurigo nodularis and also have asthma. Do not change or stop your corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by the corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine to come back.DUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including:The most common side effects include:Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.Use DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It’s an injection given under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Your healthcare provider will decide if you or your caregiver can inject DUPIXENT. Do not try to prepare and inject DUPIXENT until you or your caregiver have been trained by your healthcare provider. In children 12 years of age and older, it’s recommended DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult. In children 6 months to less than 12 years of age, DUPIXENT should be given by a caregiver.Please see accompanying full Prescribing Information including Patient Information.About RegeneronRegeneron (NASDAQ: REGN) is a leading biotechnology company that invents, develops and commercializes life-transforming medicines for people with serious diseases.

You might’ve found a car possessing two of those attributes but rarely all of the above. But the BMW iX and Rivian R1S are two electric SUVs that require no compromise, combining stellar performance and long-distance capability with plenty of convenience and tech features. Which one is the best for your money? The vehicle experts at Edmunds compare both to find out. PERFORMANCE Both SUVs provide obscene amounts of power. The BMW iX packs two electric motors, one driving each axle, that produce 516 horsepower in standard form or 610 horsepower in M60 trim. Power figures for the Rivian R1S are even more extreme, with four motors producing an outlandish 835 horsepower and 938 lb-ft of torque. A dual-motor all-wheel-drive version arrives later this year with a still potent 600 horsepower on tap.In Edmunds’ testing, an iX accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, which is quicker than other electric SUVs such as the Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-Pace. The Rivian is even quicker, taking just 3.4 seconds to reach the same speed. That makes the R1S one of the quickest SUVs Edmunds has ever tested, electric or otherwise.Around turns, the iX feels sportier and more engaging. But off-road, the Rivian is hands down the better performer. With its adjustable air suspension set to its highest setting, the R1S offers an impressive 15 inches of ground clearance. Additionally, the R1S’ four motors allow for precise control over its wheels, maximizing traction on loose terrain.Winner: R1SRANGE AND CHARGING Both EVs have large batteries that grant them impressive EPA range estimates. The Rivian R1S offers up to 321 miles of EPA-estimated range, depending on wheel size and configuration, while the BMW iX can go up to 324 miles, also depending on its configuration. On paper, their ranges are virtually identical, but on Edmunds’ real-world EV test route, the iX far exceeded its rating, traveling 377 miles on a single charge. The Rivian also beat its EPA numbers but only went 330 miles. Your mileage will vary depending on conditions and your driving style.When it comes time to replenish that large battery pack, both vehicles will take about the same amount of time to do so. Plan on spending about 30-40 minutes at a high-powered DC fast-charging station to charge the battery from 10% to 80% capacity. On a Level 2 home charger, expect a full charge to take 11-12 hours.Winner: iXINTERIOR AND TECH No matter what you think of the outside, most will agree that the BMW iX’s interior is stunning. It features a mix of unorthodox but high-quality materials and a futuristic design that looks straight out of “Minority Report.” Two wide screens join seamlessly to form the instrument panel and central display, which is operated via touchscreen or the iDrive control knob. One thing BMW’s operating system does exceptionally well is Android Auto and Apple CarPlay integration. Both systems have a fairly easy pairing procedure, which then displays the phone’s interface on the digital instrument screen.The Rivian’s interior, though nicely appointed, isn’t on the same level as the BMW’s. Like the R1T pickup truck on which it’s based, the R1S’ interior is utilitarian, with many pockets and compartments for storage. The dual gauge cluster and infotainment screens look fancy, but overall the Rivian’s in-car tech is lacking. One big letdown is the absence of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. That leaves you with only Rivian’s onboard navigation, which thankfully works pretty well. Still, not being able to access apps from your phone is a huge miss in this day and age.Winner: iXPRICING AND VALUE With a starting price of $85,095, the BMW iX is hardly affordable to the average shopper. But once you start looking at the performance, battery range and interior amenities you get compared to the competition, its price is better justified. Besides its four-year warranty, BMW also includes three years or 36,000 miles of free basic maintenance and two years of free fast charging, provided you charge in 30-minute increments.On paper, the Rivian R1S has a lower starting cost of about $78,000, but that entry model won’t be available for a while and comes with a noticeable drop in performance, range and features. The more commonly available trim we tested starts at $92,000. That said, Rivian does offer better warranty coverage than BMW, with a five-year or 60,000-mile basic warranty. Winner: iXEDMUNDS SAYS: If you can get past its polarizing grille, the BMW iX packages a luxurious interior with useful technology in an SUV that’s efficient yet still incredibly fun-to-drive.

The latter refers to those that change how people and companies live and work globally, so compelling that it becomes the status quo. Steve Jobs did it with his iPhone (NASDAQ: AAPL), prefacing its release by saying it would change the world. A little over sixteen years later, few argue that his hunch isn't now the reality. Still, the game-changer he was, Jobs did more than usher in a communications revolution. He also helped pave the way for other companies to prove that even the most far-fetched ideas can blaze a disruptive trail to prosperity.That includes SMX, PLC. (ASX: SMX.AX), a publicly-traded company on the Australian markets intending to debut in the NASDAQ market this week. Investors should watch for its listing because, similar to how the iPhone changed the world, SMX's encoding technology will also. And valuations could surge in the process.A Bullish Proposition In-PlayThat's not an overly enthusiastic assessment considering that its technology can provide a means to track millions of products and materials through an entire lifecycle. More specifically, by microscopically encoding raw materials, SMX is the first and only known company providing brands and manufacturers the ability to meet the demands of sustainability, accountability, and transparency through a unique trackable marking system.The technology is remarkable, with the most powerful aspect being that SMX has developed a way to augment materials to granular detail to prove their provenance, purity, and integrity. Its technology does more than instill transparency; it allows companies and industries to gain the intelligence needed to work in more intelligent and productive ways by linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse, and reuse again to realize the potential of materials.It's a system perfectly designed and equipped to serve the 21st-century economy that empowers businesses to maximize their presence in the real-world circular economy.An Invisible And Powerful SolutionFrankly, the encoding technology is so innovative and, in some respects, difficult to comprehend it's hard to explain just how powerful and disruptive it will be. And it's not a matter of "if" anymore, but instead, "how soon" will businesses integrate this technology and utilize this invisible solution to transform their business into an intelligent ecosystem, putting sustainability and accountability at the heart of what they do. Logic dictates the answer to that question is "sooner than later."In fact, by empowering companies at a molecular level, SMX is already driving that change by enabling its clients to capitalize on their inherent power and transforming their mission by coordinating ecosystems that work as a united whole. It's a competitive advantage that is perpetuating unprecedented growth at SMX.And it's unlikely that its competitive distance will shrink, noting that SMX is advancing its own potent, patent-protected technology. At its core, it provides multiple-stages and multiple-loops traceability, with a resilient SMX marker and blockchain platform designed to ensure that data is never compromised or lost, enabling more accurate and reliable traceability as the material is recycled/reused multiple times. That's not all.It facilitates enhanced data flow and circularity. The SMX marker enables client data to be stored at a molecular level within products and materials, allowing for increased transparency of marked content for greater granularity, ease of recycling, accountability, and security.As exciting, SMX markers provide knowledge-gathering potential, with the SMX reader designed to enable easy data gathering at any point within the supply chain without affecting the product or material, eliminate blind spots, and provide unprecedented transparency. The best news- the revenue-generating potential from this mind-boggling technology is enormous, noting that the unique SMX marker can be applied to any material, expanding its use case for any sector needing anti-counterfeit, brand protection, client liability, and track and trace technology.It does even more. SMX's suite of integrated solutions solves both authentication and track and trace challenges to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. For brands and industry, it's a production and management game-changer.Multiple Applications For SMX Turn-Key TechnologyBetter still, it's an easy-to-implement turn-key solution utilizing a sub-molecular hidden 'marker' system and a unique 'reader,' facilitating a 'blockchain record' providing transparency and authentication that creates an auditable closed-loop supply chain. And there are few, if any, market exclusions. It's active in chemistry, plastics, electronics, precious metals & minerals, food & beverage, and agriculture markets. That's helped SMX engage in impressive global collaborations, including BASF SE (OTC Other: BASFY) for chemicals, the Perth Mint for precious metals, and SMX-B for wine applications. On an even broader scale, the technology can be used for seed to harvest, food security, and to enable meeting ESG standards. There's more.The future of sustainable "fashion" is creating desirable narratives connecting tangible, sustainable ESG practices with the fashion industry by tracking, tracing, authenticating, and verifying both physically and digitally, each stage along the value chain. That includes following the raw materials through the manufacturing supply chain to distribution, retail, and end-of-life. Put another way, it enables full supply chain transparency and measurably and credibly tangible, sustainable circularity. And it's all tracked and recorded with an invisible marker and scanner.The SMX mission is doing something else. It is leading the charge away from global and traditional "take-make-dispose of" economic models to one regenerative by design to retain as much value as possible from resources, products, parts, and materials. The result is intended to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.Companies committed to the circular economy, like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Visa (NYSE: V), and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), are sure to embrace the technology. But they are just three of thousands, even millions, of brands rethinking products and services based on durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, refurbishment, and reduced material use. That totality of interests puts SMX in an enviable position.No Shortage Of OpportunitiesAnd it's a massive opportunity they are capitalizing on, resulting from SMX technology being able to mark solid, liquid, or gas objects in multiple layers. Moreover, it utilizes a combination of 500,000+ marker molecules to help make each mark unique, designed not to change the material's composition, quality, and characteristics such as color, weight, taste, and smell. Those markings are recognized through a patented sensitive reader, which receives a response signal from a marker embedded in the item within seconds without having to destroy the product or send the item to a special lab for testing. Impressively, the data received shows processes through the supply chain, including transfer of ownership to prove authenticity and quality assurance.That's invaluable information. Global counterfeit and pirated goods sales are estimated at $500 billion annually. But in addition to brands utilizing SMX to protect product and image integrity, SMX is tapping into a more enormous opportunity, the circular economy. It's an estimated $4.5 trillion opportunity in the U.S. alone, presenting the potential for expedited company growth by accelerating client brands towards a committed practice of contributing to a sustainable future. Other markets include the Global Plastic Recycling Market, estimated to reach $60.7 billion by 2025, and global textile waste, expected to reach 148 million tons annually by 2030.Thus, an irrefutable case can be made that SMX is doing the right things at the right time. Most important, however, is that they have developed world-changing technology to advance and fuel a global sustainability mission. The better news for SMX, investors, and the global population; if all goes as expected, SMX can do for sustainability and accountability practices what Apple did for communications technology- positively impact a global landscape.Disclaimers: Hawk Point Media Group, Llc. is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent and chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, said Tuesday that Schultz has agreed to testify before the committee on March 29.Sanders had been asking Schultz to testify for several weeks, but Schultz had previously refused, saying the company's chief public affairs officer would be better equipped to discuss the company's labor record. But the committee disagreed and had scheduled a Wednesday vote to subpoena Schultz in an effort to force him to testify.“I look forward to hearing from Mr. Schultz as to when he intends to end his illegal anti-union activities and begin signing fair first contracts with the unions,” Sanders said Tuesday in a statement.In a letter to the committee, Starbucks said it looks forward to “productive dialogue” with the committee.“We will endeavor to provide a deeper understanding of our culture and priorities, including our industry leading benefits offerings and our long-standing commitment to support the shared success of our more than 450,000 global partners,” Starbucks’ Chief Counsel Zabrina Jenkins wrote.At least 290 company-owned U.S. Starbucks stores have voted to unionize since late 2021. Workers are asking for better pay, more consistent schedules and safer stores, among other things. Starbucks and the union have not yet reached a contract agreement at any of those stores.The company opposes unionization, saying it already provides industry-leading benefits and its stores function better when it works directly with its employees.The effort has been contentious. Starbucks Workers United, the union organizing workers, has filed 509 unfair labor practice charges against Starbucks with the National Labor Relations Board, accusing the company of firing union organizers, spying on workers and taking other actions to hinder the union campaign. The company has filed 102 charges against the union and says it's failing to bargain in good faith.Last week, a federal labor judge found that the company violated U.S. labor laws "hundreds of times" during the unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York. The judge ordered Starbucks to reinstate seven fired workers and required Schultz to read or be present at a reading of employee rights and distribute a recording of the reading to all of Starbucks' U.S. employees.Schultz is a longtime Starbucks CEO who built the company from a small Seattle chain into a global coffee giant.

Fast forward sixteen years later, and it's easy to argue that his iPhone (NASDAQ: AAPL) did more than substantiate his vision; it also revolutionized the global communications landscape. The game-changer he was, Jobs' legacy lives on. In fact, more than ushering in a communications revolution, he is responsible for enabling other companies to prove that even the most far-fetched ideas can blaze a disruptive trail to prosperity.That includes SMX, PLC. (ASX: SMX.AX), a publicly-traded company on the Australian markets, which is expected to make its NASDAQ debut on Wednesday. Like Jobs' contributions to communications, SMX's can also be a global game changer in sustainability, and that's no exaggeration. Its innovative technology does what no other can by offering a system that can uniquely verify material origination, allowing companies to tangibly demonstrate their commitment to sustainable and ethical sourcing & ESG practices. But more than a record, it's a transparent, credible, and measurable way to identify and verify product and material makeup in real time without destroying the finished product.That explanation may make the technology sound simple. But don't under-appreciate what's put into play by SMX. By using SMX's molecular marking technology and its digital twin blockchain platform, companies can efficiently sort, reclaim and potentially reuse the raw materials(solid, liquid, or gas)in their products when it reaches their end lifecycle. That reduces the number of virgin materials required to re-produce, reduces waste sent to landfills, can significantly reduce carbon emissions, and facilitates meeting consumers' and stakeholders' sustainability & ESG expectations. The best news- SMX's technology is applicable across a wide range of materials besides plastics, including metals, gold, and textiles.And that does more than put massive revenue-generating opportunities in SMX's near-term crosshairs; it could put a new generational investment opportunity in play.Opportunity In A Generational TradeThat's not an overly enthusiastic assessment considering that its technology can provide a means to track millions of products and materials through an entire lifecycle. More specifically, by microscopically encoding raw materials, SMX is the first and only known company providing brands and manufacturers the ability to meet the demands of sustainability, accountability, and transparency through a unique trackable marking system.The technology is remarkable, with the most powerful aspect being that SMX has developed a way to augment materials to granular detail to prove their provenance, purity, and integrity. Its technology does more than instill transparency; it allows companies and industries to gain the intelligence needed to work in more intelligent and productive ways by linking parts of the value chain and enabling use, reuse, and reuse again to realize the potential of materials.It's a system perfectly designed and equipped to serve the 21st-century economy that empowers businesses to maximize their presence in the real-world circular economy.Powerful Solution Microscopic In SizeFrankly, the encoding technology is so innovative and, in some respects, difficult to comprehend it's hard to explain just how powerful and disruptive it will be. And it's not a matter of "if" anymore, but instead, "how soon" will businesses integrate this technology and utilize this invisible solution to transform their business into an intelligent ecosystem, putting sustainability and accountability at the heart of what they do. Logic dictates the answer to that question is "sooner than later."In fact, by empowering companies at a molecular level, SMX is already driving that change by enabling its clients to capitalize on their inherent power and transforming their mission by coordinating ecosystems that work as a united whole. It's a competitive advantage that is perpetuating unprecedented growth at SMX.And it's unlikely that its competitive distance will shrink, noting that SMX is advancing its own potent, patent-protected technology. At its core, it provides multiple-stages and multiple-loops traceability, with a resilient SMX marker and blockchain platform designed to ensure that data is never compromised or lost, enabling more accurate and reliable traceability as the material is recycled/reused multiple times. That's not all.It facilitates enhanced data flow and circularity. The SMX marker enables client data to be stored at a molecular level within products and materials, allowing for increased transparency of marked content for greater granularity, ease of recycling, accountability, and security.As exciting, SMX markers provide knowledge-gathering potential, with the SMX reader designed to enable easy data gathering at any point within the supply chain without affecting the product or material, eliminate blind spots, and provide unprecedented transparency. The best news- the revenue-generating potential from this mind-boggling technology is enormous, noting that the unique SMX marker can be applied to any material, expanding its use case for any sector needing anti-counterfeit, brand protection, client liability, and track and trace technology.It does even more. SMX's suite of integrated solutions solves both authentication and track and trace challenges to uphold supply chain integrity and provide quality assurance and brand accountability to producers of goods. For brands and industry, it's a production and management game-changer.SMX Turn-Key Technology Targets Broad DemandBetter still, it's an easy-to-implement turn-key solution utilizing a sub-molecular hidden 'marker' system and a unique 'reader,' facilitating a 'blockchain record' providing transparency and authentication that creates an auditable closed-loop supply chain. And there are few, if any, market exclusions. It's active in chemistry, plastics, electronics, precious metals & minerals, food & beverage, and agriculture markets. That's helped SMX engage in impressive global collaborations, including BASF SE (OTC Other: BASFY) for chemicals, the Perth Mint for precious metals, and SMX-B for wine applications. On an even broader scale, the technology can be used for seed to harvest, food security, and to enable meeting ESG standards. There's more.The future of sustainable "fashion" is creating desirable narratives connecting tangible, sustainable ESG practices with the fashion industry by tracking, tracing, authenticating, and verifying both physically and digitally, each stage along the value chain. That includes following the raw materials through the manufacturing supply chain to distribution, retail, and end-of-life. Put another way, it enables full supply chain transparency and measurably and credibly tangible, sustainable circularity. And it's all tracked and recorded with an invisible marker and scanner.The SMX mission is doing something else. It is leading the charge away from global and traditional "take-make-dispose of" economic models to one regenerative by design to retain as much value as possible from resources, products, parts, and materials. The result is intended to create a system that allows for longer life, optimal reuse, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and recycling.Companies committed to the circular economy, like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Visa (NYSE: V), and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), are sure to embrace the technology. But they are just three of thousands, even millions, of brands rethinking products and services based on durability, renewability, reuse, repair, replacement, upgrades, refurbishment, and reduced material use. That totality of interests puts SMX in an enviable position.Seizing Upon Global Market OpportunitiesAnd it's a massive opportunity they are capitalizing on, resulting from SMX technology being able to mark solid, liquid, or gas objects in multiple layers. Moreover, it utilizes a combination of 500,000+ marker molecules to help make each mark unique, designed not to change the material's composition, quality, and characteristics such as color, weight, taste, and smell. Those markings are recognized through a patented sensitive reader, which receives a response signal from a marker embedded in the item within seconds without having to destroy the product or send the item to a special lab for testing. Impressively, the data received shows processes through the supply chain, including transfer of ownership to prove authenticity and quality assurance.That's invaluable information. Global counterfeit and pirated goods sales are estimated at $500 billion annually. But in addition to brands utilizing SMX to protect product and image integrity, SMX is tapping into a more enormous opportunity, the circular economy. It's an estimated $4.5 trillion opportunity in the U.S. alone, presenting the potential for expedited company growth by accelerating client brands towards a committed practice of contributing to a sustainable future. Other markets include the Global Plastic Recycling Market, estimated to reach $60.7 billion by 2025, and global textile waste, expected to reach 148 million tons annually by 2030.Thus, an irrefutable case can be made that SMX is doing the right things at the right time. Most important, however, is that they have developed world-changing technology to advance and fuel a global sustainability mission. The better news for SMX, investors, and the global population; if all goes as expected, SMX can do for sustainability and accountability practices what Apple did for communications technology- positively impact a global landscape.Disclaimers: Hawk Point Media Group, Llc. is responsible for the production and distribution of this content.

People trickled +out of the building after the news of the closure was +announced.Representatives for the lender did not immediately respond +to a request for comment.Signature's failure followed Silicon Valley Bank's Friday +shutdown, the second largest in U.S. history behind Washington +Mutual, which collapsed during the 2008 financial crisis.Investors were unnerved by the speed at which +startup-focused SVB, the 16th largest lender in the U.S., was +toppled by customer withdrawals. The episode last week erased +more than $100 billion in market value from U.S. banks, +prompting swift action from government officials over the +weekend to try and restore confidence in the financial system.The FDIC established a "bridge" successor bank on Sunday +which will enable customers to access their funds on Monday. +Signature Bank's depositors and borrowers will automatically +become customers of the bridge bank, the FDIC said.The regulator named former Fifth Third Bancorp +Chief Executive Greg Carmichael as CEO of the bridge bank.Silicon Valley Bank customers will have access to their +deposits starting on Monday, U.S. officials said on Sunday. The +federal government also announced actions to shore up deposits +and try and stem any broader fallout.Signature was a commercial bank with private client offices +in New York, Connecticut, California, Nevada and North Carolina, +and had nine national business lines including commercial real +estate and digital asset banking.As of September, almost a quarter of its deposits came from +the cryptocurrency sector, but the bank announced in December +that it would shrink its crypto-related deposits by $8 billion.Signature Bank announced in February that its chief +executive officer, Joseph DePaolo, would transition into a +senior adviser role in 2023 and would be succeeded by the bank’s +chief operating officer, Eric Howell.

But direct consumer subsidies are unlikely, sources told Reuters last month.In the absence of additional support, the recovery in household consumption, long seen as key to improving sustainability of growth in the world's second-largest economy, is likely to be gradual and uneven, they say.After China dropped most pandemic controls late in 2022, the share prices of many consumer-facing companies rose, reflecting optimism that a spending splurge was imminent."We have been warning that markets may become overly bullish about 'revenge' spending and the release of pent-up demand," said Nomura chief China economist Ting Lu, referring to the V-shaped spending recovery seen in the U.S. and other countries after COVID restrictions were lifted. "Markets should curb their enthusiasm due to the limited possibility of a large stimulus package, the elevated unemployment rate, a lack of confidence in the property sector, a slump in exports and geopolitical tensions."Prices of new Chinese homes fell for 16 months before steadying in January.A survey of white-collar workers published last month by recruiting firm Zhaopin showed 47.3% of respondents were worried they might lose their jobs this year. Meanwhile, cash-strapped local governments have cut wages for civil servants, and older citizens are struggling with pensions that barely cover their costs of living.Some economists, pointing to new household savings reaching 17.8 trillion yuan ($2.59 trillion) last year, an increase of 7.9 trillion yuan from 2021, had expected pent-up demand to drive a recovery in consumption even without policy support.But there is little sign that enough money is being spent on goods and services to make much difference to consumption.Data last week showed consumer inflation had slowed in February to its lowest annual rate in a year, while passenger car sales for the first two months of the year were down 20% on a year earlier. Imports have fallen faster than expected.A data report on Wednesday is expected to show January-February retail sales were only 3.4% higher than a year before, when annual growth was 6.7%, according to a Reuters poll.Daniel Zipser, senior partner at McKinsey, said most shoppers were still in wait-and-see mode, and the next holiday season, in May, would offer the next clues on whether their mood was changing."People are free to travel and spend, but they're not fully there yet compared to about 18 months ago, when they were incredibly confident about their future prospects," said Zipser. Consumer confidence ticked up in January from 2022's record low, but was well below the levels seen in the past two decades. UNEVENFree tables in restaurants and coffee shops in Beijing or Shanghai are hard to find at peak hours, and many hotels and travel agencies have gone on a hiring spree as domestic tourism has returned.The China Tourism Academy, an industry body, says domestic tourism revenue in 2023 could reach about 4 trillion yuan, about 95% more than last year but still only about 71% of the 2019 level.Also, earnings updates suggest the business sector has subdued near-term expectations.Yum China, which runs KFC and Pizza Hut in China, said last month it would offer promotions to get customers through the door. Starbucks warned of a "cautious" recovery in its China sales. Alibaba said it saw demand for healthcare and wellness products improving, but sales for apparel and discretionary goods looked weak so far.E-commerce giant JD.com said consumer confidence would take time to rebuild."Consumers have become more meticulous in their spending," its chief executive, Xu Lei, said in an earnings call on Thursday.MIDDLE CLASS SQUEEZEOther businesses are noticing it as well.One mid-range guesthouse owner in Dali, in Yunnan province, told Reuters that China's reopening had brought tourists back to the lake-side town, but not everyone was benefitting equally."Now the Chinese tourists are either super rich or very poor," said the owner, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "They are choosing either top-end or budget hotels."Julian Evans-Pritchard, an analyst at Capital Economics, attributes people's reluctance to open their wallets to household wealth declining for the first time in at least two decades last year due to falling prices for shares and homes."This suggests that once the initial reopening rebound has happened, we shouldn't expect a further surge in consumer spending," he wrote in a note to clients.($1 = 6.8780 Chinese yuan renminbi) (Editing by Marius Zaharia and Bradley Perrett)By Casey Hall and Sophie Yu \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/SBUX/2023.03.14/In face of inflation, businesses become their own bank with Orda Preload Cards at 0% in...txt b/news/SBUX/2023.03.14/In face of inflation, businesses become their own bank with Orda Preload Cards at 0% in...txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..8e9fcaeb5a6fe01667a531efa86c43bf3d0d76fa --- /dev/null +++ b/news/SBUX/2023.03.14/In face of inflation, businesses become their own bank with Orda Preload Cards at 0% in...txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +It may come as a surprise to learn that Starbucks is considered not just a coffee chain, but also a bank. Now it's time for every business to be a bank like Starbucks.Starbucks created what is essentially a 0% interest loan by allowing customers to preload credit onto their mobile app. Loyal customers have served as a generous lender partner by preloading over $1.6B in funds. Consumers benefit as well since they get free rewards.In a time where cashflows are more vital than ever, other businesses needed the same capitalization opportunity as Starbucks. Businesses also wanted to reduce payment processing fees by combining multiple payments into one. But, this was not feasible for most businesses to replicate due to the complexity of the preload credit program.Today, Orda, the New York-based digital payments platform, announced the launch of Orda Preload Cards. The disruptive fintech solution allows businesses to offer their customers the ability to preload funds. Businesses get their own branded mobile app and kiosks ordering where consumers can load money into a digital wallet. Consumers get rewarded every time they load funds into their digital wallet. This creates an incentive for consumers to enable automatic reloads to refill the wallet anytime it drops below a predefined amount. Subscriptions are supported to further increase businesses' monthly recurring revenues. By combining multiple transactions into one, businesses are able to reduce overall processing fees from 8% to 2%.Orda Preload Cards innovation was made possible due to Orda's proprietary ledgering system and patented drag-and-drop digital ordering platform."We have received countless requests from the fintech ecosystems we are plugged into, such as the Square, Cash App, Toast and Solana communities. Since day one, the number one request we have gotten from businesses was the ability to be their own bank with preload cards," said Roy Ganor, CEO of Orda. "Orda Preload Cards allows businesses to optimize their margins while consumers get the benefit of cost savings."Enterprise organizations are able to partner with Orda on a fully customized preload credit solution.

It did not immediately indicate how many locations closed. Some stores remained open because workers remained on the job, while others were staffed by employees from nearby stores who took additional shifts to cover for strikers, Starbucks said.The demonstrations came on the eve of the company's annual shareholders meeting and were designed to urge new Chief Executive Officer Laxman Narasimhan to take a more welcoming approach to unionization efforts, said organizers with Starbucks Workers United, which has asked shareholders to vote for a third party to assess the company’s commitment to labor rights.“Starbucks baristas like me are the ones who keep our stores running.

At least 280 company-owned U.S. Starbucks stores have voted to unionize since late 2021. Workers are asking for better pay, more consistent schedules and safer stores, among other things. Starbucks and the union have not yet reached a contract agreement at any of those stores.The company opposes unionization, saying it already provides industry-leading benefits and that its stores function better when the company works directly with employees. The labor activists say workers have trouble obtaining enough hours to qualify for Starbucks benefits.Each side has repeatedly complained of the other's tactics to the National Labor Relations Board. Last week, a federal labor judge found the company violated U.S. labor laws “hundreds of times” during a unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York. The judge ordered Starbucks to reinstate seven fired workers and required former CEO Howard Schultz to read or be present at a reading of employee rights and distribute a recording of the reading to all of Starbucks’ U.S. employees.Faced with a possible vote to subpoena him, Schultz has agreed to testify next week before a U.S. Senate committee headed by Vermont Sen.

Narasimhan, who took the reins as CEO earlier this week, said in a letter to Starbucks’ employees Thursday that he also expects the company’s leadership team to be connected and engaged in stores. “While our performance is strong, our health needs to be stronger,” Narasimhan wrote in the letter. “We must care for the artists and the theater in the front of our stores and the factory in the back.”Having a CEO work in stores is new for Seattle-based Starbucks, but not unprecedented among big companies. DoorDash CEO Tony Xu and his executive team make DoorDash deliveries once a month, for example.Narasimhan, 55, issued the letter just prior to the company’s annual meeting, which was held virtually. The former PepsiCo executive has spent the last six months immersing himself in Starbucks, earning his barista certification as well as visiting stores, farms and manufacturing centers across the world."I felt it was very important to start as a barista. I wanted to really understand what they do and how they do it," Narasimhan said in comments emailed to The Associated Press. "I’ve loved and learned so much about the retail experience from working in our stores, and can now make an excellent French press if I do say so myself."Narasimhan said his first priority is addressing some of the company's limitations. A reinvention plan announced last fall is updating equipment and layouts to make stores more efficient and increasing employee retention with better pay and benefits, he said. The average U.S. Starbucks worker now makes $17.50 per hour.Narasimhan said he would like to see Starbucks evolve into a more global company, be less wasteful and move with greater speed."My immersion provided me with exposure to every aspect of Starbucks business, culture, and brand," he said. “Together, we have acknowledged the opportunity for a refounding of Starbucks.”Narasimhan succeeds longtime Starbucks leader Howard Schultz, who came out of retirement last spring to serve as interim CEO while the company searched for a new chief executive. Schultz will remain on the company’s board.Some investors were unhappy with that move, saying Starbucks should have had a more robust succession plan in place when former CEO Kevin Johnson retired last April. Among the shareholder proposals investors voted on Thursday was one that would require Starbucks' board to begin succession planning at least three years before an expected transition.Another shareholder proposal would require Starbucks to commission a third-party assessment of its commitment to workers' collective-bargaining rights. That proposal came amid an ongoing unionization movement that Starbucks opposes.At least 293 of Starbucks' 9,000 company-owned U.S. stores have voted to unionize since late 2021. Workers have begun bargaining with the company but so far no store has reached agreement on a new contract.The process has been contentious. Earlier this month, a federal labor judge found that the company violated labor laws “hundreds of times” during a unionization campaign in Buffalo, New York. The company is appealing.On Wednesday, workers at more than 100 U.S. Starbucks stores went on strike across the country, demanding that Starbucks come to the bargaining table and hammer out labor agreements. It was the third time that workers have held a nationwide strike.Starbucks Workers United, the union organizing the workers, said it wanted to send Narasimhan a message that the CEO transition is an opportunity to break with the past and partner with the union. Schultz had a long history of opposing unionization. But in his comments to the AP, Narasimhan struck a similar tone to his predecessor. He said Starbucks respects workers' right to organize but believes the company functions best without a union.“As a company, our experience is that a having a direct relationship with our partners is core to our culture and the experiences we create in our stores," Narasimhan said. “I continue to believe a direct relationship with our partners is the best way forward.” Starbucks said it would announce the results of the shareholder votes in the next few days.Starbucks shares closed down less than 1% at $98.42 Thursday.

SJS and TEN occurred predominantly during the first cycle of treatment but may occur later. Skin reactions occurred in 55% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials. Twenty-three percent (23%) of patients had maculo-papular rash and 33% had pruritus. Grade 3-4 skin reactions occurred in 13% of patients, including maculo-papular rash, rash erythematous, rash or drug eruption, symmetrical drug-related intertriginous and flexural exanthema (SDRIFE), dermatitis bullous, dermatitis exfoliative, and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia. In clinical trials, the median time to onset of severe skin reactions was 0.6 months (range: 0.1 to 6.4 months). Among patients experiencing a skin reaction leading to dose interruption who then restarted PADCEV (n=59), 24% of patients restarting at the same dose and 16% of patients restarting at a reduced dose experienced recurrent severe skin reactions. Skin reactions led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 2.6% of patients. Monitor patients closely throughout treatment for skin reactions. Consider topical corticosteroids and antihistamines, as clinically indicated. For persistent or recurrent Grade 2 skin reactions, consider withholding PADCEV until Grade ≤1. Withhold PADCEV and refer for specialized care for suspected SJS, TEN or for Grade 3 skin reactions. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in patients with confirmed SJS or TEN, or for Grade 4 or recurrent Grade 3 skin reactions. + +Hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), including fatal events, occurred in patients with and without pre-existing diabetes mellitus, treated with PADCEV. Patients with baseline hemoglobin A1C ≥8% were excluded from clinical trials. In clinical trials, 14% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV developed hyperglycemia; 7% of patients developed Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia. The incidence of Grade 3-4 hyperglycemia increased consistently in patients with higher body mass index and in patients with higher baseline A1C. Five percent (5%) of patients required initiation of insulin therapy for treatment of hyperglycemia. The median time to onset of hyperglycemia was 0.6 months (range: 0.1 to 20.3 months). Hyperglycemia led to discontinuation of PADCEV in 0.6% of patients. Closely monitor blood glucose levels in patients with, or at risk for, diabetes mellitus or hyperglycemia. If blood glucose is elevated (>250 mg/dL), withhold PADCEV. + +Pneumonitis Severe, life-threatening or fatal pneumonitis occurred in patients treated with PADCEV. In clinical trials, 3.1% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV had pneumonitis of any grade and 0.7% had Grade 3-4. In clinical trials, the median time to onset of pneumonitis was 2.9 months (range: 0.6 to 6 months). Monitor patients for signs and symptoms indicative of pneumonitis, such as hypoxia, cough, dyspnea or interstitial infiltrates on radiologic exams. Evaluate and exclude infectious, neoplastic and other causes for such signs and symptoms through appropriate investigations. Withhold PADCEV for patients who develop persistent or recurrent Grade 2 pneumonitis and consider dose reduction. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in all patients with Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis. + +Peripheral neuropathy (PN) occurred in 52% of the 680 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials, including 39% with sensory neuropathy, 7% with muscular weakness and 6% with motor neuropathy; 4% experienced Grade 3-4 reactions. PN occurred in patients treated with PADCEV with or without pre-existing PN. The median time to onset of Grade ≥2 PN was 4.6 months (range: 0.1 to 15.8 months). Neuropathy led to treatment discontinuation in 5% of patients. Monitor patients for symptoms of new or worsening peripheral neuropathy and consider dose interruption or dose reduction of PADCEV when PN occurs. Permanently discontinue PADCEV in patients who develop Grade ≥3 PN. + +Ocular disorders were reported in 40% of the 384 patients treated with PADCEV in clinical trials in which ophthalmologic exams were scheduled. The majority of these events involved the cornea and included events associated with dry eye such as keratitis, blurred vision, increased lacrimation, conjunctivitis, limbal stem cell deficiency, and keratopathy. Dry eye symptoms occurred in 34% of patients, and blurred vision occurred in 13% of patients, during treatment with PADCEV. The median time to onset to symptomatic ocular disorder was 1.6 months (range: 0 to 19.1 months). Monitor patients for ocular disorders. Consider artificial tears for prophylaxis of dry eyes and ophthalmologic evaluation if ocular symptoms occur or do not resolve. Consider treatment with ophthalmic topical steroids, if indicated after an ophthalmic exam. Consider dose interruption or dose reduction of PADCEV for symptomatic ocular disorders. + +Infusion site extravasation Skin and soft tissue reactions secondary to extravasation have been observed after administration of PADCEV. Of the 680 patients, 1.6% of patients experienced skin and soft tissue reactions, including 0.3% who experienced Grade 3-4 reactions. Reactions may be delayed. Erythema, swelling, increased temperature, and pain worsened until 2-7 days after extravasation and resolved within 1-4 weeks of peak. Two patients (0.3%) developed extravasation reactions with secondary cellulitis, bullae, or exfoliation. Ensure adequate venous access prior to starting PADCEV and monitor for possible extravasation during administration. If extravasation occurs, stop the infusion and monitor for adverse reactions. + +Embryo-fetal toxicity PADCEV can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Advise patients of the potential risk to the fetus. Advise female patients of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during PADCEV treatment and for 2 months after the last dose. Advise male patients with female partners of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with PADCEV and for 4 months after the last dose. + +Adverse Reactions + +Most Common Adverse Reactions, Including Laboratory Abnormalities (≥20%) + +Rash, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) increased, glucose increased, creatinine increased, fatigue, PN, lymphocytes decreased, alopecia, decreased appetite, hemoglobin decreased, diarrhea, sodium decreased, nausea, pruritus, phosphate decreased, dysgeusia, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) increased, anemia, albumin decreased, neutrophils decreased, urate increased, lipase increased, platelets decreased, weight decreased and dry skin. + +EV-301 Study: 296 patients previously treated with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. + +Serious adverse reactions occurred in 47% of patients treated with PADCEV; the most common (≥2%) were urinary tract infection, acute kidney injury (7% each) and pneumonia (5%).

(TSE:4503, President and CEO: Kenji Yasukawa, Ph.D., 'Astellas') and Seagen Inc. (Nasdaq: SGEN) today announced that the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) of the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) has accepted the Biologics License Application (BLA) for enfortumab vedotin for the treatment of patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer (la/mUC) who received prior treatment with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy.'In China, there were nearly 86,000 new cases of bladder cancer in 2020, and we are working with the NMPA to seek approval for enfortumab vedotin for patients with advanced stage disease,' said Ahsan Arozullah, M.D., M.P.H., Senior Vice President and Head of Development Therapeutic Areas, Astellas. 'Enfortumab vedotin has become a second- and third-line treatment option for many patients around the world with previously treated locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer, and an approval in China may bring this therapy to those patients.'The BLA submission for enfortumab vedotin is based on data from the EV-203 study (NCT04995419), a single-arm, open-label, multicenter Phase 2 study of enfortumab vedotin in Chinese patients with la/mUC who previously received a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapy. Results showed that EV-203 met its primary endpoint, showing statistical significance in objective response rate (ORR) by independent review committee (IRC) for patients treated with enfortumab vedotin alone compared to historical controls. Efficacy and pharmacokinetic data from the study are in line with global data, and EV-203 is a bridging study to EV-301, a Phase 3 randomized study that has supported global registrations of enfortumab vedotin, and EV-201 Cohort 1.Enfortumab vedotin alone and in combination with other therapies is the subject of a robust clinical development program aimed at addressing unmet medical needs across the continuum of urothelial cancer and in other solid tumors.About Bladder and Urothelial CancerGlobally, approximately 573,000 new cases of bladder cancer and 212,000 deaths are reported annually.1 Urothelial cancer accounts for 90% of all bladder cancers and can also be found in the renal pelvis, ureter and urethra.2 Approximately 12% of cases are locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer at diagnosis.3In China, the incidence rate of bladder cancer in 2020 ranked 12th among all cancers, with an estimated 85,649 new cases that year. The five-year prevalence of bladder cancer in China is estimated to be 16.26/100,000 cases, or 235,393 cases.4About the EV-203 TrialThe EV-203 trial (NCT04995419) is a Phase 2, multicenter, single-arm bridging study in China designed to evaluate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetic performance of enfortumab vedotin as treatment for patients in China. A total of 40 patients were enrolled in the study.About the EV-301 TrialThe EV-301 trial (NCT03474107) is a global, multicenter, open-label, randomized Phase 3 trial designed to evaluate enfortumab vedotin versus physician's choice of chemotherapy (docetaxel, paclitaxel or vinflunine) in 608 patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who were previously treated with a PD-1/L1 inhibitor and platinum-based chemotherapies. The primary endpoint is overall survival, and secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, overall response rate, duration of response and disease control rate, as well as assessment of safety/tolerability and quality-of-life parameters.About the EV-201 TrialThe EV-201 trial (NCT03219333) is a single-arm, multi-cohort, multicenter, pivotal phase 2 clinical trial of enfortumab vedotin for patients with locally advanced or metastatic urothelial cancer who have been previously treated with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor, including those who have also been treated with a platinum-containing chemotherapy (Cohort 1) and those who have not received a platinum-containing chemotherapy in this setting and who are ineligible for cisplatin (Cohort 2). The trial enrolled 125 patients in Cohort 1 and 89 patients in Cohort 2 at multiple centers internationally. The primary endpoint is confirmed objective response rate per blinded independent central review. Secondary endpoints include assessments of duration of response, disease control rate, progression-free survival, overall survival, safety and tolerability.Results of EV-301 and EV-201 Cohort 2 clinical trials supported the full and supplemental approval of PADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in July 2021. Additionally, results from EV-301 and EV-201 Cohort 1 serve as core data to support the Marketing Authorization Applications for enfortumab vedotin in the global market, including the European Union, Japan and Singapore.About PADCEVPADCEV (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) is a first-in-class antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) that is directed against Nectin-4, a protein located on the surface of cells and highly expressed in bladder cancer.5 Nonclinical data suggest the anticancer activity of PADCEV is due to its binding to Nectin-4-expressing cells followed by the internalization and release of the anti-tumor agent monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE) into the cell, which result in the cell not reproducing (cell cycle arrest) and in programmed cell death (apoptosis).6About AstellasAstellas Pharma Inc. is a pharmaceutical company conducting business in more than 70 countries around the world.

Pfizer then plans to let the biotech drug developer “continue innovating,” except with more resources than it would have alone, Pfizer Chairman and CEO Albert Bourla told analysts.“We are not buying the golden eggs,” he said. “We are acquiring the goose that is laying the golden eggs.”Bothell, Washington-based Seagen Inc. specializes in working with antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, technology. Its key products use lab-made proteins called monoclonal antibodies that seek out cancer cells to help deliver a cancer-killing drug while sparing surrounding tissue.Cancer treatments are a priority for Pfizer. They brought in $12 billion in revenue for the drugmaker last year. But Pfizer has only marketed a couple first-generation ADC treatments, a spokeswoman said. Seagen has four treatments on the market. It also has a pipeline of drugs under development that includes potential treatments for a form of lung cancer and advanced breast cancer. “We think this really changes dramatically the oncology presence of Pfizer, makes it one of a kind," Bourla said.Seagen’s top seller, Adcetris, treats lymph system cancers. It brought in $839 million in sales last year, a 19% increase over the previous year.Seagen also has a deal with Pfizer’s Array BioPharma to develop, make and sell the breast and colorectal cancer treatment Tukysa. It brought in $353 million in sales for Seagen last year.The company, which changed its name from Seattle Genetics in 2020, saw total revenue grow about 25% last year to nearly $2 billion. Seagen also shaved its loss to $610 million from $674 million in 2021.The drug developer predicts about $2.2 billion in sales for this year.Pfizer booked about $100 billion in total revenue last year and has been flush with cash thanks to sales of its COVID-19 vaccine and treatment, Comirnaty and Paxlovid. Bourla said earlier this year that the company planned to use its “extraordinary firepower” to buy products that will deliver $25 billion in incremental revenue by 2030.The deal announced Monday and some previous acquisitions will help Pfizer account for most of that. But Bourla emphasized on Monday that the company expects Seagen's contributions to extend beyond the end of the decade. New York-based Pfizer Inc. has already spent $11.6 billion on migraine treatment developer Biohaven Pharmaceutical. It also spent $5.4 billion on sickle cell disease treatment maker Global Blood Therapeutics and bought Arena Pharmaceuticals for another $6.7 billion.The drugmaker needs more revenue sources in part because it faces the expiration of patents protecting drugs like its breast cancer treatment Ibrance from cheaper competition in the coming years.Pfizer said Monday it will pay for Seagen mostly through $31 billion in new, long-term debt.Both companies' boards have unanimously approved the deal. But regulators still need to look at it, and Seagen shareholders will have to approve it.The companies expect to complete the transaction in late 2023 or early 2024. Shares of Pfizer rose 2% to $40.26 after markets opened Monday, while Seagen's stock soared more than 15% to nearly $200. Broader indexes edged up slightly. Copyright 2023 The Associated Press.

Lung cancer was the leading cause of death among all forms, accounting for 23% of all cancer-related deaths.Pfizer, meanwhile, says oncology is the largest engine of growth for global medication and the acquisition will therefore be transformative.

The outlook revision reflects Pfizer's announcement that it intends to acquire Seagen Inc. (Seagen) for roughly $43 billion in cash, which will be partly funded with $31 billion of long-term debt issuance. Fitch believes the transaction could stress EBITDA leverage (total debt/EBITDA) in the intermediate term.Key Rating DriversAcquisition to Increase Leverage: Fitch views Pfizer's proposed $43 billion cash acquisition of Seagen as strategically constructive. Seagen will increase Pfizer's presence in the growing area of oncology, particularly with Seagen's antibody drug conjugate technological platform. Pfizer should be able leverage its commercial and R&D infrastructure with Seagen's marketed therapies and pipeline products. The transaction is expected to be funded with $31 billion in long-term debt and balance sheet cash with an anticipated closing in late 2023 or early 2024.Fitch believes EBITDA leverage could be stressed in the intermediate term and approach but not exceed the negative Rating Sensitivity. Should Fitch come to expect leverage will exceed 2.2x through the Rating Horizon without the prospects for timely deleveraging, whether through additional debt-funded transactions or weaker operating fundamentals, there could be negative momentum in the Ratings and/or Outlook.COVID-19 Tailwinds to Moderate: The coronavirus pandemic has been a boon to Pfizer's revenues and enabling the issuer to build meaningful liquidity. Its Comirnaty vaccine has become the leading COVID-19 vaccine, and its Paxlovid drug has been widely used to treat active COVID-19 infections. While Fitch expects revenue from both products to decline over time as the pandemic wanes, the company continues to modify the vaccine to address new variants of the virus. The mRNA technology used to develop the vaccine is also being used to create other vaccines and therapies unrelated to the coronavirus.Manageable Patent Expiries: The company's intermediate-term patent cliff is manageable, with less than 15% of revenues at risk during the next three years. In addition, Pfizer's Eliquis (for blood clots), which accounts for roughly 7.3% of revenues, is expected to face generic competition in November 2026. While Eliquis also accounts for 13.4% of Pfizer's revenues excluding Comirnaty sales, higher growth rates in newer therapies over the next four years are likely to mitigate this concentration.Advancing Pipeline: During the past two years, Pfizer received regulatory approvals for Comirnaty (its COVID-19 vaccine), TicoVac (a tick-borne encephalitis vaccine) and Paxlovid (its COVID-19 treatment), and the company currently has several candidates in Phase III development to treat hemophilia, cancer, immunological disorders, bacterial infections and cardiovascular disease. Pfizer is also conducting clinical trials that could expand the market for certain of its currently-approved products. Fitch sees further growth opportunities in Pfizer's collaborations on certain external pipeline projects and via potential acquisitions.Solid FCF Generator: Despite a significant cash dividend burden and volatile FCF margin, FCF has remained consistently positive and relatively stable revenues, strong EBITDA margins and modest capex requirements have supported performance. Fitch expects continued strong positive FCF generation, supported by moderately improving margins and believes Pfizer is likely to allocate FCF primarily to acquisitions and share repurchases. Fitch also expects Pfizer's Board to increase its dividend annually.Pressure from Payers: The defensibility of pricing power is always a top-of-mind issue affecting the sales outlook for pharmaceutical firms, including Pfizer. In its current form, the 'Inflation Reduction Act' (IRA) threatens the profitability of companies that manufacture and market some of the top-selling, older drugs in the Medicare Part D program. While Pfizer has two products that may be targeted by the IRA, the precise products that may become subject to price negotiation thereunder remain unknown. Fitch will continue monitoring developments related to the IRA to better assess this risk.While the political environment in the U.S. has recently cast a spotlight on risks related to Medicare drug price negotiation, drug companies have engaged in negotiations on drug pricing and accessibility with health insurers and pharmacy benefit managers for many years. Fitch's ratings case forecasts for Pfizer and its peers generally assume better price defensibility for newer, truly innovative products and that revenues from more commoditized products are likely over time to face escalating headwinds.Derivation SummaryPfizer's 'A'/Stable rating reflects the company's operating profile, which is well-positioned relative to its peer Amgen (BBB+/Negative Rating Watch) in terms of scale, breadth, depth, geographic reach and patent risk. Relatively manageable intermediate-term patent risk, an advancing pipeline and a broad product portfolio further support its prospects for operational and financial stability. Fitch considers gross leverage (total debt/EBITDA) at or below 2.2x to be consistent with Pfizer's 'A' rating.Parent-Subsidiary LinkageFitch applies a Weak Parent/Strong Subsidiary approach to the Parent-Subsidiary Linkage criteria. Both Wyeth LLC and Pharmacia Corp. subsidiaries have open Ring-fencing and Access & Control, which leads to both being consolidated at the same IDR as that assigned to their parent, Pfizer, Inc.Key AssumptionsRevenue to decline over the ratings horizon with declines in COVID-related revenue as the pandemic wanes;Operating EBITDA margins to improve over the ratings horizon to around 40%, reflecting declining revenue from Comirnaty at margins Fitch believes are below the company's average;FCF to remain positive over the forecast period, trending to 6%-7% of revenues. Fitch believes that Pfizer is likely to prioritize dividends and share repurchases over debt repayment in the use of its FCF;Total debt/Operating EBITDA to increase over the ratings horizon towards 2.2x about 24 months after the Seagen acquisition.RATING SENSITIVITIESFitch does not contemplate an upgrade in the intermediate term. However, factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action/upgrade:Gross debt leverage (total debt/EBITDA) expected to be sustained at or below 1.7x;Strong operational performance sustained over the forecast period, including stable-to-positive trends in revenues, margins and FCF.Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action/downgrade:Gross debt leverage (total debt/EBITDA) expected to be sustained at or above 2.2x, potentially driven by marketplace pressures, adverse regulatory actions, unfavorable clinical developments or continued aggressive capital allocation policy;Pursuit of additional significant transactions (including debt-funded acquisitions and/or share repurchases) that place pressure on gross debt leverage without the expectation of deleveraging in a timely manner.Best/Worst Case Rating ScenarioInternational scale credit ratings of Non-Financial Corporate issuers have a best-case rating upgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a positive direction) of three notches over a three-year rating horizon; and a worst-case rating downgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a negative direction) of four notches over three years. The complete span of best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAA' to 'D'. Best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings are based on historical performance. For more information about the methodology used to determine sector-specific best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings, visit https://www.fitchratings.com/site/re/10111579.Liquidity and Debt StructureAdequate Liquidity and Manageable Maturities: Liquidity included $416 million in cash and cash equivalents and $7.0 billion of availability under an undrawn revolver. Pfizer also has $22.3 billion in short-term investments, the majority of which Fitch considers to be readily available for liquidity purposes. Fitch expects Pfizer's liquidity to remain strong over the rating horizon, bolstered by considerable FCF generation. In addition, Pfizer's debt maturities are manageable, with $2.9 billion due in 2023, $2.3 billion due in 2024 and $750 million due in 2025.Issuer ProfilePfizer is one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. The company develops, manufactures and markets therapeutics that compete in the vast majority of treatment categories and major geographic markets. Its top five selling products accounted for roughly 75% of 2021 revenues.REFERENCES FOR SUBSTANTIALLY MATERIAL SOURCE CITED AS KEY DRIVER OF RATINGThe principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable Criteria.ESG ConsiderationsPfizer Inc. has an ESG Relevance Score of '4' for Exposure to Social Impacts due to due to societal and regulatory pressures to constrain growth in healthcare spending in the U.S. This has a negative impact on the credit profile, and is relevant to the ratings in conjunction with other factors.

T-Mobile is acquiring the brands' sales, marketing, digital, and service operations, and plans to use its supplier relationships and distribution scale to help the brands to grow and offer competitive pricing and greater device inventory to more U.S. consumers seeking value offerings. The Un-carrier will also be able to leverage Mint's industry-leading digital D2C marketing expertise as part of its broader portfolio to reach new customer segments and geographies. The Mint and Ultra brands are complementary to the company's current prepaid service offerings Metro by T-Mobile, T-Mobile branded prepaid and Connect by T-Mobile."Mint has built an incredibly successful digital direct-to-consumer business that continues to deliver for customers on the Un-carrier's leading 5G network and now we are excited to use our scale and owners' economics to help supercharge it - and Ultra Mobile - into the future," said Mike Sievert, CEO of T-Mobile. "Over the long-term, we'll also benefit from applying the marketing formula Mint has become famous for across more parts of T-Mobile. We think customers are really going to win with a more competitive and expansive Mint and Ultra.""Our brands have thrived on the T-Mobile network, and we are thrilled that this agreement will take them even further, bringing the many benefits of 5G to even more Americans," said David Glickman, founder and CEO of Mint, Ultra and Plum. "This transaction validates our meteoric success and will unite two proven industry innovators committed to doing things differently in the wireless industry.""Mint Mobile is the best deal in wireless and today's news only enhances our ability to deliver for our customers. We are so happy T-Mobile beat out an aggressive last-minute bid from my mom Tammy Reynolds as we believe the excellence of their 5G network will provide a better strategic fit than my mom's slightly-above-average mahjong skills. I am so proud of the entire Mint team and so excited for what's to come," said Ryan Reynolds.Following the deal's close, Mint's founders David Glickman and Rizwan Kassim will remain onboard at T-Mobile to manage the brands, which will generally operate as a separate business unit. Owner Ryan Reynolds will continue on in his creative role on behalf of Mint.T-Mobile will pay up to a maximum of $1.35 billion in a combination of 39% cash and 61% stock to acquire Ka'ena. The actual price to be paid by T-Mobile will be based upon Ka'ena's performance during certain periods before and after the closing.  It is also subject to working capital adjustments and other contractual reserves. The transaction is subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions, and is expected to close later this year. T-Mobile does not currently expect the transaction to have any impact on the company's 2023 guidance or its ongoing stock repurchase program. The transaction is expected to be slightly accretive to both Core Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow as T-Mobile captures the full long-term economic value of the Ka'ena business, including by securing financial benefits beyond the end of the current wholesale exclusivity period.AdvisorsCleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP served as legal advisor to T-Mobile.

Previously the Communist Party chief in Shanghai, Li is poised to be confirmed as premier on Saturday during the ongoing National People's Congress, charged with managing the world's second largest economy. He would replace the retiring Li Keqiang, who is widely perceived to have been increasingly sidelined as Xi tightened his grip on management of the economy. Leadership watchers say Li Qiang's closeness to Xi is both a strength and a vulnerability: while he has Xi's trust, he is beholden to his long-time patron.Trey McArver, co-founder of consultancy Trivium China, said Li is likely to be much more powerful than his predecessor. Xi expended significant political capital to get him into the role, given Li's lack of central government experience and the Shanghai lockdown, McArver said."Officials know that Li Qiang is Xi Jinping's guy," he said. "He clearly thinks that Li Qiang is a very competent person and he has put him in this position because he trusts him and he expects a lot of him."Li, 63, did not respond to questions sent to China's State Council Information Office.PRACTICAL PRAGMATISTA career bureaucrat, Li was revealed as the pick for China's No.2 role in October when Xi unveiled a leadership line-up stacked with loyalists.At that time, Li had been known for overseeing the harrowing COVID lockdown earlier last year of Shanghai's 25 million people, which shut the city's economy and left psychological scars among its residents. That made him a target of anger but did nothing to derail his promotion. Li was also instrumental in pushing for China's unexpectedly sudden end to its zero-COVID policy late last year, Reuters reported on Friday.People who have interacted with Li say they found him practical-minded, an effective bureaucratic operator, and supportive of the private sector - a stance that would be expected in someone whose career put him in charge of some of China's most economically dynamic regions.As Communist Party chief between 2002 to 2004 in his home city of Wenzhou, a hotbed of entrepreneurialism, Li came across as open-minded and willing to listen, said Zhou Dewen, who represented small and mid-sized enterprises in the city."He took a liberal approach of granting private companies default access to enter the market, except when explicitly banned by law, rather then the traditional approach of keeping private companies out by default," said Zhou.Craig Allen, president of the U.S.-China Business Council and a former U.S. official, said Li sought to level the playing field for foreign businesses, pointing to the speed with which U.S. carmaker Tesla was able to get its Shanghai factory there operational in 2019."Clearly nothing got in the way once a decision was made. There was a clarity of a kind in his decision making, an authority, and that really helps," said Allen, describing Li as comfortable in his own skin.Still, several observers caution against putting too much weight on Li's experience in a business hub such as Shanghai, since Xi has steadily tightened Communist Party control and taken the economy in a more statist direction."Now Li is a national leader, working under a market-sceptic boss, and he has to balance growth with a range of social, technological, and geopolitical goals," said Neil Thomas, senior analyst at Eurasia.NO WALL-FLOWEREven by the opaque standards of Chinese politics, there is little public information about Li's background or personal life.Born in Ruian county in what is now Wenzhou, the 17-year-old Li went to work in 1976 at an irrigation station in his hometown, a desirable job in what turned out to be the final year of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution.Li entered Zhejiang Agricultural University in 1978, the year that campuses were reopened in China and competition for places was fierce. He later was awarded master's degrees from the central party school in Beijing and Hong Kong Polytechnic University.It was in Zhejiang, home to some of China's biggest private companies, where Xi was provincial party secretary and Li was his chief of staff between 2004 and 2007, that the two men would have built their personal bond.American author Robert Lawrence Kuhn, who met Li and Xi together in 2005 and 2006, said the two shared an easy rapport."Unlike most other staffers of top leaders, Li was no wall-flower," Kuhn told Reuters."In the presence of Xi, he felt comfortable and confident enough to put himself forward to engage me, which tells me he is not worried his boss might think he is trying to steal his limelight," Kuhn said.However, leadership watchers said there are limits to what Li will be able to do."Li can make some repairs here and there, but he won't tear down the wall and build something new," said Chen Daoyin, former associate professor at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, and now a commentator based in Chile.

Also not surprising is that Recharge Resources Ltd. (CSE: RR) (OTC: RECHF) (Frankfurt: SL5) stock is moving higher in tandem and has, more often than not this year, shown an ability to decouple from weak broader markets.RECHF shares are higher by 76% YTD, closing at $0.44 on Monday, a level not seen since October 2022. The better news, at least for long-sided investors, is that RECHF closed near its intraday high, with momentum signaling a continuation of the bullish trend. Last week, media coverage provided reasons for the company's recent trading strength; a closer look reveals its growth has far less to do with being a "momo" stock play than it does with the work RECHF completed in 2022 to set up what is expected to be a transformative 2023.Preparing To Exploit Value From Pocitios 1It's a bullish presumption. However, there's plenty of tangible evidence supporting that sentiment. Foremost is that the groundwork completed at its Argentina-based Pocitos 1 project puts RECHF closer than ever to unearthing mineral deposits to serve unprecedented demand. That results from Recharge announcing it received approval from that country's Dept of Mines to drill a production diameter well at its Salar Lithium Brine Project. That update added tangible value, but there's still more to like. Before that news, the RECHF bulls were treated to the company announcing plans to expedite development at its Georgia Lake and West Lithium projects in Ontario, Canada.While that one-two punch was reason enough to inspire investors' interest, additional value drivers are in play. Last month, RECHF announced engaging with Quantec Geoscience Argentina SA to provide a Controlled-Source Magnetotellurics audio-telleric geophysical survey to delineate the lithology and potential aquifers on its 800 ha property down to a depth of 500m at the flagship Pocitos 1 Lithium Brine Project in Salta, Argentina. That work is expected to start no later than April of 2023. Notably, the data revealed from this new milestone could become a near-term catalyst.Still, while the double dose of excellent news inspired a rallying cry, its update last Friday provided a knockout, or perhaps better described as a knock-up punch based on its shares reaction. The announcement was from AIS Resources Limited (TSX.V: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF), who congratulated Recharge Resources on signing an option agreement with Spey Resources Corp. whereby RECHF can acquire up to a 100% undivided interest in the Pocitos 2 Project.AIS retains a 7.5% royalty of the FOB price of lithium carbonate or other lithium compounds sold on Pocitos 1 & 2 pursuant to AIS' underlying Option Agreement with Spey Resources. That means that if the Pocitos 1 and 2 options are exercised, AIS will receive $1,000,000 and $732,000, respectively, on or before June 30, 2023. Both Pocitos 1 and 2 have been optioned by Recharge from Spey. That's a big deal and a potentially huge value driver for RECHF because acquiring the Pocitos 2 Option can significantly increase the size of its potential resource holdings.Remember, proven reserves, even underground, can be marked as assets in the metals, exploration, and mining sectors. And as later-stage exploration work continues this year at its 2023 Pocitos drilling program, proving reserves can mean a valuation windfall for RECHF and AIS.On The Cusp Of A TransformationNot to be lost in a heavy dose of recent news is that RECHF is in motion. If data posts as expected from its in-process exploration, RECHF will be significantly closer to building an up-to-20,000-tonne lithium extraction Ekosolve plant at the Pocitos 1 project. But the better news is that once completed, RECHF has supply agreements in place, committing to sell up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium chloride/carbonate per year to Richlink Capital Pty. Ltd. The battery materials supply agreement was announced after executing a joint letter of intent.That deal can be worth a lot despite a bearish trend for the asset, which posted spot market prices last week at 325,500 yuan per tonne, equal to about $47,123 (US) per tonne at exchange rates published on March 3, 2023. Thus, assuming RECHF delivers the entire 20,000 tonnes as contracted, revenues could eclipse $942 million at current exchange rates. That could happen faster than many expect, considering that the company now has three existing drill holes in place, this new drilling, and a CSAMT audio-telluric geophysical survey to contribute to an NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.Speculatively speaking, those activities help to mitigate downside risk. Attribute some of that assessment from RECHF benefiting from an Argentinian geological team empowering the company to expedite progress toward establishing a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource. They are also helping to facilitate, even expediting, a scoping study of the project in collaboration with its Chinese offtake partners and investors for lithium chloride products at the Pocitos1 Project. The inherent value is that whether through a primary supply client or many, the work getting done intends to position RECHF to feed substantial global demand.Lithium Will Not Lose Its LusterDon't expect that demand to lessen. In fact, last week, Elon Musk told his investors that his company is moving forward to build a lithium refinery on the Texas Gulf Coast to gain more control over the supply chain for EV batteries. And Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) isn't the only company working proactively to secure the assets needed to maintain production; Ford (NYSE: F), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and several other EV manufacturers are trying to secure as much lithium as possible. Some are trying to buy total production outputs from suppliers or even considering purchasing entire projects to support EV initiatives. Of course, they aren't the only industry needing what RECHF intends to supply.Consumer goods, defense companies like Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), and industrials need what this small-cap exploration company is in business to deliver. It's often said that value is at its best when on the ground floor, which makes sense given that risk is still attached to the company. But, taken as a whole and accounting for the infrastructure already turning the gears of progress, there are still tremendous values to be had in under-the-radar exploration companies on the cusp of transformation.RECHF makes that list. Supporting the case beyond what has been noted, the company is transparent, has an expert management team, and is accelerating the pace of its projects at locations where vast reserves have been unearthed historically. Few expect that will change during RECHF's mission, which could be why its stock is performing exceptionally well despite intense broader market pressures. The company's stock is even rallying in the face of a lithium spot market correction.That trend should continue, noting that jurisdiction regulators are helping, not hindering, the speed at which RECHF can operate. The continued approvals to explore its Argentina projects should therefore be considered as value drivers and validation that RECHF is doing the right things at the right time to achieve near and long-term exploration goals.Know this, too: there's still more to like on the valuation front.Georgia Lake And West Lithium ProjectsRecharge Resources is also advancing promising Georgia Lake and West lithium projects, located approximately 160 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay Mining Division. Parts of these properties border Rock Tech projects, which recently announced its expectation to finalize a more than $670 million high-quality lithium supply deal with Mercedes-Benz AG.That deal leads RECHF to remain optimistic its locations can offer the same production promises. Known is the fact that the Rock Tech Lithium, Georgia Lake project hosts several spodumene-bearing pegmatites, with Lithium mineralization discovered in 1955 and subsequently explored by several historic owners exposing the properties as an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource. That was reported in Rock Tech's Preliminary Economic Assessment filed in March 2021.While past performance isn't the most accurate indicator in many industries, it is within the mining and exploration sector. Remember, mineral deposits are not stingy where they settle, meaning that bordering a property indicated to have potentially massive reserves is indeed bullish to neighboring prospects. Thus, the recent spike in RECHF stock is not surprising.Actually, those gains could be the precursor of more to come. Rock Tech expects to deliver up to 10,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium hydroxide per year to Mercedes-Benz AG starting in 2026. That's indeed excellent news for Rock Tech. Moreover, it also gives good reason for RECHF to trade higher in sympathy, noting that Rock Tech anticipates that the planned delivery of that product won't deplete its capable inventory, indicating a substantial amount of lithium is expected to be mined.More directly, bordering a company preparing to supply more than half a trillion dollars in lithium to a global business giant puts Recharge Resources in the right place at the right time. In fact, few argue against the statement that in the mining business, location is everything when it comes to mining for metals and mineral riches. And based on Rock Tech's deal, RECHF is sitting on a potential lithium windfall.Cobalt Another Recharge ConsiderationYes, there's another potentially massive value driver in play. Recharge Resources has announced capitalizing on other market opportunities by adding a third asset to its business pipeline potential: cobalt.Cobalt is also a critical metal needed for EV battery production. However, more valuable to RECHF's opportunity to attract client interest is that virtually no cobalt production is happening in North America. It is debatable whether that's due to its fractional use compared to other necessary battery metals. What isn't, however, is that cobalt's need is no less critical than other battery metals.That demand adds another appreciable revenue-generating shot on goal to the business plan. Moreover, as one of only a handful of North American suppliers, it's possible that RECHF could earn a sizable market share, whether alone or through partnerships, especially after reporting that it's already in the early stages of proving its cobalt resources. If those reserve estimates are verified, it's feasible for RECHF to become one of the first North American cobalt resources brought into commercial production.Ideally Positioned For A Transformative 2023In other words, RECHF is ideally positioned for a potentially transformative 2023, which could result from just proving assets under the ground. Moreover, they have multiple shots on that goal, with at least three ingredients that a global shift to electrification can't do without. With many mega-cap companies scrambling for supply, those short-selling Recharge thinking raising capital would only come with vulture-capitalist terms may want to rethink that proposition. Money to companies in the right places and advancing the right projects would likely come easily.Additionally, investors paying attention to only the senior mining companies may miss extraordinary ground-floor investment opportunities in the exploration stage companies. Remember, the large-cap miners can't fill the entire demand. Junior miners and exploration companies like RECHF are vital to the supply chain.Thus, while the sector can seem competitive, the behind-the-scenes look may better indicate that it's an industry rooting for each other, knowing that consolidation in the sector is not only an expectation but a means for companies to get bigger and more valuable faster.And that's a consideration that benefits all sector players and helps expose low-priced opportunities worth evaluating. Appraising Recharge Resources as the sum of its parts, they have earned a place on that list.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

Nissan Motor Co. presented its “X-in-1” development strategy Thursday, in which the X stands for various powertrain parts such as an electric motor and inverter that can be used across models. The company said development and manufacturing costs will be reduced by 30% in 2026 compared to 2019 levels. The Yokohama-based automaker was a pioneer in electric vehicles but rivals like Tesla and BYD of China have overtaken it. As the move toward ecological models gains momentum around the world, driven by worries over climate change, Nissan has been eager to showcase its prowess. Its senior vice president, Toshihiro Hirai, acknowledged that prices of rare earths and other materials needed to make electric vehicle batteries and other parts are expected to rise in coming years. That means automakers must have a solid strategy for obtaining raw materials if they hope to succeed in electrification. “We make the most of our expertise and know-how from our more than a decadelong development and production of electrified technologies,” said Hirai.Compared to the first-generation vehicle the Leaf, rare materials account for 25% of the weight of the 2019 Nissan Note EV. Nissan aims to make that 1% or less.Nissan, which also makes the March subcompact and Infiniti luxury models, is working on solid-state battery technology for EVs, a move that if successful is expected to radically reduce costs.By 2030, Nissan’s EV offerings will cost about the same at dealers as the equivalent regular gasoline-engine models, Hirai said.The cheapest EVs like the Leaf now sell for under $30,000, although small internal-combustion engine cars are cheaper, at about $21,000 for the Nissan Sentra in the U.S.A Tesla Model 3, a relatively affordable model for a Tesla, sells for about $43,000. But EVs are usually eligible for tax credits and other incentives. High gasoline prices might make EVs a smart buy in the long run, although much depends on the owner’s driving habits.A Consumer Reports analysis last year said that based on the gas price at that time of $4.31 a gallon, EV owners could save between $1,800 and $2,600 in operating and maintenance costs for every 15,000 miles they drive, compared to drivers of gas-powered vehicles.That's the average distance newer vehicles are driven in a year in the U.S. Gas prices have since fallen, so the savings would be lower but still significant. Hirai said people find driving an electric vehicle less stressful because it’s quiet and delivers a smooth ride, even over rough terrain, while maintaining the fun feel of driving. One advantage of an EV is its more precise control over each wheel, which can effectively counter bumps and jolts.Nissan has promised 27 new electrified models, including eight e-Power “series hybrid” models, which have both a gas engine and electric motor, by fiscal 2030. ___Yuri Kageyama is on Twitter https://twitter.com/yurikageyamaFind more AP coverage of technology at https://apnews.com/hub/technologyCopyright 2023 The Associated Press.

The firetruck probe is part of a larger investigation by the agency into multiple instances of Teslas using the automaker’s Autopilot system crashing into parked emergency vehicles that are tending to other crashes. NHTSA has become more aggressive in pursuing safety problems with Teslas in the past year, announcing multiple recalls and investigations.The driver of the 2014 Tesla Model S was killed in the crash and a passenger critically injured. Four firefighters were treated for minor injuries, and the $1.4 million ladder truck was damaged.NHTSA is investigating how the Autopilot system detects and responds to emergency vehicles parked on highways. At least 14 Teslas have crashed into emergency vehicles nationwide while using the system.Automated driving systems aren't always involved in the crashes that NHTSA sends investigators to. For instance, the Ohio State Highway Patrol determined that a Tesla that hit one of its patrol cars in November was not operating on "any type of autonomous mode.” Authorities said the California firetruck had its lights on and was parked diagonally on a highway to protect responders to an earlier accident that did not result in injuries. Lewis Broschard III, chief of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, said his department is concerned about the risks that inattentive drivers pose to themselves, passengers and first responders.“These unnecessary deaths, injuries, risks to firefighters, and loss of valuable equipment are all preventable," he said, urging drivers to slow down and move over for emergency vehicles.“Recent reports of automobiles that may have been operating automated driving systems crashing into parked emergency vehicles at the scene of an emergency is a serious concern for the safety of our firefighters and paramedics and the public we are serving,” Rob Brown Jr., CEO of the International Association of Fire Chiefs, said in an email.A NHTSA spokeswoman said she couldn't comment on an open investigation when asked if the Teslas are posing a danger to emergency workers.NHTSA has been scrutinizing Teslas more intensely in the past year, seeking several recalls and opening investigations. Earlier Wednesday, the agency posted documents revealing an investigation of steering wheels that can detach from the steering column on as many as 120,000 Model Y SUVs.The agency said it received two complaints in which 2023 Model Ys were delivered to customers with a missing bolt holding the wheel to the steering column. A friction fit held the steering wheels on, but they separated when force was exerted as the SUVs were driven.The agency says in documents posted on its website Wednesday that both incidents happened while the SUVs had low mileage on them.In one complaint filed with NHTSA, an owner said he was driving with his family in Woodbridge, New Jersey, when the steering wheel suddenly came off on Jan. 29, five days after the vehicle was purchased. The owner wrote that he was able to pull toward the road divider. There were no injuries.It was a "horrible experience," the car's owner, Prerak Patel, told The Associated Press. He said he was in the freeway's left lane when the steering wheel came off and was lucky the road was straight and he was able to stop the car at the divider. Messages were left seeking comment from Tesla, which is based in Austin, Texas.At first a Tesla service center gave Patel a cost estimate of $103.96 to repair the problem. The service center apologized in what appear to be text messages posted on Twitter. When Patel wrote that he had lost faith in Tesla and asked for a refund, the service center removed the charge.Patel was later given the option of keeping the car or getting it replaced with a new one. Patel said he chose a replacement. Patel said he's a fan of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and has invested a large chunk of his savings in Tesla stock, which closed Wednesday down 3%. “My kids were a little scared to ride in a loaner Tesla and, as a parent, we are able to restore their confidence,” Patel said. He said he hopes Tesla will investigate and improve its quality control.Detached steering wheels are rare in the industry, but not unprecedented. In February, Nissan recalled about 1,000 Ariya electric vehicles for a similar problem.NHTSA also has opened investigations during the past three years into Teslas braking suddenly for no reason, suspension problems and other issues. In February, NHTSA pressured Tesla into recalling nearly 363,000 vehicles with “Full Self-Driving” software because the system can break traffic laws. The system is being tested on public roads by as many as 400,000 Tesla owners. But NHTSA said in documents that it can make unsafe actions such as traveling straight through an intersection from a turn-only lane, going through a yellow traffic light without proper caution or failing to respond to speed limit changes.The U.S. Justice Department also has asked Tesla for documents from Tesla about “Full Self-Driving” and Autopilot. Tesla says in its owners manual that neither Autopilot nor “Full Self-Driving” can drive themselves, and that owners must be ready to intervene at all times. NHTSA has sent investigators to 35 Tesla crashes in which automated systems are suspected of being used. Nineteen people have died in those crashes, including two motorcyclists.____AP Writers Olga Rodriguez in San Francisco and John Seewer in Toledo, Ohio, contributed to this story.

That made him a target of anger but +did nothing to derail his promotion.Li was also instrumental in pushing for China's unexpectedly +sudden end to its zero-COVID policy late last year, Reuters +reported on Friday.People who have interacted with Li say they found him +practical-minded, an effective bureaucratic operator, and +supportive of the private sector - a stance that would be +expected in someone whose career put him in charge of some of +China's most economically dynamic regions.As Communist Party chief between 2002 to 2004 in his home +city of Wenzhou, a hotbed of entrepreneurialism, Li came across +as open-minded and willing to listen, said Zhou Dewen, who +represented small and mid-sized enterprises in the city."He took a liberal approach of granting private companies +default access to enter the market, except when explicitly +banned by law, rather then the traditional approach of keeping +private companies out by default," said Zhou.Craig Allen, president of the U.S.-China Business Council +and a former U.S. official, said Li sought to level the playing +field for foreign businesses, pointing to the speed with which +U.S. carmaker Tesla was able to get its Shanghai factory there +operational in 2019."Clearly nothing got in the way once a decision was made. +There was a clarity of a kind in his decision making, an +authority, and that really helps," said Allen, describing Li as +comfortable in his own skin.Still, several observers caution against putting too much +weight on Li's experience in a business hub such as Shanghai, +since Xi has steadily tightened Communist Party control and +taken the economy in a more statist direction."Now Li is a national leader, working under a market-sceptic +boss, and he has to balance growth with a range of social, +technological, and geopolitical goals," said Neil Thomas, senior +analyst at Eurasia.NO WALL-FLOWEREven by the opaque standards of Chinese politics, there is +little public information about Li's background or personal +life.Born in Ruian county in what is now Wenzhou, the +17-year-old Li went to work in 1976 at an irrigation station in +his hometown, a desirable job in what turned out to be the final +year of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution.Li entered Zhejiang Agricultural University in 1978, the +year that campuses were reopened in China and competition for +places was fierce. He later was awarded master's degrees from +the central party school in Beijing and Hong Kong Polytechnic +University.It was in Zhejiang, home to some of China's biggest private +companies, where Xi was provincial party secretary and Li was +his chief of staff between 2004 and 2007, that the two men would +have built their personal bond.American author Robert Lawrence Kuhn, who met Li and Xi +together in 2005 and 2006, said the two shared an easy rapport."Unlike most other staffers of top leaders, Li was no +wall-flower," Kuhn told Reuters."In the presence of Xi, he felt comfortable and confident +enough to put himself forward to engage me, which tells me he is +not worried his boss might think he is trying to steal his +limelight," Kuhn said.However, leadership watchers said there are limits to what +Li will be able to do."Li can make some repairs here and there, but he won't tear +down the wall and build something new," said Chen Daoyin, former +associate professor at Shanghai University of Political Science +and Law, and now a commentator based in Chile. +(Additional reporting by the Shanghai newsroom and Julie Zhu in +Hong Kong +Editing by Tony Munroe and Lincoln Feast.) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/TSLA/2023.03.09/China battery giant CATL reports slower Q4 profit growth.txt b/news/TSLA/2023.03.09/China battery giant CATL reports slower Q4 profit growth.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f6a34b1dde715804e9a059e3bec7168162b9fa0b --- /dev/null +++ b/news/TSLA/2023.03.09/China battery giant CATL reports slower Q4 profit growth.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +The world's largest battery maker's profit during October to December increased 60.6% from the same period in 2021, according to Reuters calculations based on a company filing. That compares to 130.9% and 164% growth in the third and second quarters, respectively.EV sales growth in China largely slowed in the fourth quarter as the economy was heavily disrupted by efforts to curb the spread of COVID-19 and then the sudden ending of the virus prevention policy, which unleashed a massive wave of infections across the country. Tesla, CATL's largest client by volume, cut output in its Shanghai plant by more than a third in December from November, China Passenger Car Association data showed, as the U.S. automaker grappled with rising inventory.The trend has extended to the first quarter even though Tesla and its Chinese rivals have started slashing prices of their best-selling models to boost sales in what analysts have described as a price war. CATL offered discounts to some Chinese automaking clients, Reuters reported last month, reflecting a downturn in the price of lithium and a bid to win more orders.CATL recorded full year profit of 30.7 billion yuan ($4.41 billion), according to the company's filing to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, largely in line with its estimates in January.The gross profit margin of its battery products to power electric vehicles, which contributed the majority of CATL's revenue, stood at 17.2% in 2022, down 4.8% from a year ago, according to the filing.

The study shows a decline of 23 points in satisfaction when an owner has to bring their vehicle in for a repair after a recall rather than traditional maintenance and repair. Since its report in 2021, the consultants have found that owners now have to wait longer for their vehicles to be serviced due to labor, loaner vehicle availability and parts shortages.Lexus ranks highest in satisfaction with dealer service among all premium brands and Mitsubishi takes top spot among mass market brands, according to the report.The 2023 U.S. CSI Study is based on responses from 64,248 verified registered owners and lessees of 2020 to 2022 model-year vehicles.

(CSE: RR) (OTC: RECHF) (Frankfurt: SL5) stock is moving higher in tandem and has, more often than not this year, shown an ability to decouple from weak broader markets. RECHF shares are higher by 60% YTD, closing Tuesday at $0.41 a share, again scoring levels not seen since October 2022. The better news is that RECHF is consolidating at these levels, meaning that bullish momentum may not end soon.Last week, media coverage provided reasons for the company's recent trading strength; a closer look reveals its growth has far less to do with being a "momo" stock play than it does with the work RECHF completed in 2022 to set up what is expected to be a transformative 2023.Exploiting Value From Pocitios 1It's a bullish presumption. However, there's plenty of tangible evidence supporting that sentiment. Foremost is that the groundwork completed at its Argentina-based Pocitos 1 project puts RECHF closer than ever to unearthing mineral deposits to serve unprecedented demand. That results from Recharge announcing it received approval from that country's Dept of Mines to drill a production diameter well at its Salar Lithium Brine Project. That update added tangible value, but there's still more to like. Before that news, the RECHF bulls were treated to the company announcing plans to expedite development at its Georgia Lake and West Lithium projects in Ontario, Canada.While that one-two punch was reason enough to inspire investors' interest, additional value drivers are in play. Last month, RECHF announced engaging with Quantec Geoscience Argentina SA to provide a Controlled-Source Magnetotellurics audio-telleric geophysical survey to delineate the lithology and potential aquifers on its 800 ha property down to a depth of 500m at the flagship Pocitos 1 Lithium Brine Project in Salta, Argentina. That work is expected to start no later than April of 2023. Notably, the data revealed from this new milestone could become a near-term catalyst.Still, while the double dose of excellent news inspired a rallying cry, its update last Friday provided a knockout, or perhaps better described as a knock-up punch based on its shares reaction. The announcement was from AIS Resources Limited (TSX.V: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF), who congratulated Recharge Resources on signing an option agreement with Spey Resources Corp. whereby RECHF can acquire up to a 100% undivided interest in the Pocitos 2 Project.AIS retains a 7.5% royalty of the FOB price of lithium carbonate or other lithium compounds sold on Pocitos 1 & 2 pursuant to AIS' underlying Option Agreement with Spey Resources. That means that if the Pocitos 1 and 2 options are exercised, AIS will receive $1,000,000 and $732,000, respectively, on or before June 30, 2023. Both Pocitos 1 and 2 have been optioned by Recharge from Spey. That's a big deal and a potentially huge value driver for RECHF because acquiring the Pocitos 2 Option can significantly increase the size of its potential resource holdings.Remember, proven reserves, even underground, can be marked as assets in the metals, exploration, and mining sectors. And as later-stage exploration work continues this year at its 2023 Pocitos drilling program, proving reserves can mean a valuation windfall for RECHF and AIS.Cusp Of A TransformationNot to be lost in a heavy dose of recent news is that RECHF is in motion. If data posts as expected from its in-process exploration, RECHF will be significantly closer to building an up-to-20,000-tonne lithium extraction Ekosolve plant at the Pocitos 1 project. But the better news is that once completed, RECHF has supply agreements in place, committing to sell up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium chloride/carbonate per year to Richlink Capital Pty. Ltd. The battery materials supply agreement was announced after executing a joint letter of intent.That deal can be worth a lot despite a bearish trend for the asset, which posted spot market prices last week at 325,500 yuan per tonne, equal to about $47,123 (US) per tonne at exchange rates published on March 3, 2023. Thus, assuming RECHF delivers the entire 20,000 tonnes as contracted, revenues could eclipse $942 million at current exchange rates. That could happen faster than many expect, considering that the company now has three existing drill holes in place, this new drilling, and a CSAMT audio-telluric geophysical survey to contribute to an NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.Speculatively speaking, those activities help to mitigate downside risk. Attribute some of that assessment from RECHF benefiting from an Argentinian geological team empowering the company to expedite progress toward establishing a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource. They are also helping to facilitate, even expediting, a scoping study of the project in collaboration with its Chinese offtake partners and investors for lithium chloride products at the Pocitos1 Project. The inherent value is that whether through a primary supply client or many, the work getting done intends to position RECHF to feed substantial global demand.Lithium Will Stay In DemandDon't expect that demand to lessen. In fact, last week, Elon Musk told his investors that his company is moving forward to build a lithium refinery on the Texas Gulf Coast to gain more control over the supply chain for EV batteries. And Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) isn't the only company working proactively to secure the assets needed to maintain production; Ford (NYSE: F), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and several other EV manufacturers are trying to secure as much lithium as possible. Some are trying to buy total production outputs from suppliers or even considering purchasing entire projects to support EV initiatives. Of course, they aren't the only industry needing what RECHF intends to supply.Consumer goods, defense companies like Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), and industrials need what this small-cap exploration company is in business to deliver. It's often said that value is at its best when on the ground floor, which makes sense given that risk is still attached to the company. But, taken as a whole and accounting for the infrastructure already turning the gears of progress, there are still tremendous values to be had in under-the-radar exploration companies on the cusp of transformation.RECHF makes that list. Supporting the case beyond what has been noted, the company is transparent, has an expert management team, and is accelerating the pace of its projects at locations where vast reserves have been unearthed historically. Few expect that will change during RECHF's mission, which could be why its stock is performing exceptionally well despite intense broader market pressures. The company's stock is even rallying in the face of a lithium spot market correction.That trend should continue, noting that jurisdiction regulators are helping, not hindering, the speed at which RECHF can operate. The continued approvals to explore its Argentina projects should therefore be considered as value drivers and validation that RECHF is doing the right things at the right time to achieve near and long-term exploration goals.Know this, too: there's still more to like on the valuation front.Georgia Lake And West Lithium ProjectsRecharge Resources is also advancing promising Georgia Lake and West lithium projects, located approximately 160 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay Mining Division. Parts of these properties border Rock Tech projects, which recently announced its expectation to finalize a more than $670 million high-quality lithium supply deal with Mercedes-Benz AG.That deal leads RECHF to remain optimistic its locations can offer the same production promises. Known is the fact that the Rock Tech Lithium, Georgia Lake project hosts several spodumene-bearing pegmatites, with Lithium mineralization discovered in 1955 and subsequently explored by several historic owners exposing the properties as an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource. That was reported in Rock Tech's Preliminary Economic Assessment filed in March 2021.While past performance isn't the most accurate indicator in many industries, it is within the mining and exploration sector. Remember, mineral deposits are not stingy where they settle, meaning that bordering a property indicated to have potentially massive reserves is indeed bullish to neighboring prospects. Thus, the recent spike in RECHF stock is not surprising.Actually, those gains could be the precursor of more to come. Rock Tech expects to deliver up to 10,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium hydroxide per year to Mercedes-Benz AG starting in 2026. That's indeed excellent news for Rock Tech. Moreover, it also gives good reason for RECHF to trade higher in sympathy, noting that Rock Tech anticipates that the planned delivery of that product won't deplete its capable inventory, indicating a substantial amount of lithium is expected to be mined.More directly, bordering a company preparing to supply more than half a trillion dollars in lithium to a global business giant puts Recharge Resources in the right place at the right time. In fact, few argue against the statement that in the mining business, location is everything when it comes to mining for metals and mineral riches. And based on Rock Tech's deal, RECHF is sitting on a potential lithium windfall.Cobalt Id Another RECHF ConsiderationYes, there's another potentially massive value driver in play. Recharge Resources has announced capitalizing on other market opportunities by adding a third asset to its business pipeline potential: cobalt.Cobalt is also a critical metal needed for EV battery production. However, more valuable to RECHF's opportunity to attract client interest is that virtually no cobalt production is happening in North America. It is debatable whether that's due to its fractional use compared to other necessary battery metals. What isn't, however, is that cobalt's need is no less critical than other battery metals.That demand adds another appreciable revenue-generating shot on goal to the business plan. Moreover, as one of only a handful of North American suppliers, it's possible that RECHF could earn a sizable market share, whether alone or through partnerships, especially after reporting that it's already in the early stages of proving its cobalt resources. If those reserve estimates are verified, it's feasible for RECHF to become one of the first North American cobalt resources brought into commercial production.Positioned For A Transformative 2023In other words, RECHF is ideally positioned for a potentially transformative 2023, which could result from just proving assets under the ground. Moreover, they have multiple shots on that goal, with at least three ingredients that a global shift to electrification can't do without. With many mega-cap companies scrambling for supply, those short-selling Recharge thinking raising capital would only come with vulture-capitalist terms may want to rethink that proposition. Money to companies in the right places and advancing the right projects would likely come easily.Additionally, investors paying attention to only the senior mining companies may miss extraordinary ground-floor investment opportunities in the exploration stage companies. Remember, the large-cap miners can't fill the entire demand. Junior miners and exploration companies like RECHF are vital to the supply chain.Thus, while the sector can seem competitive, the behind-the-scenes look may better indicate that it's an industry rooting for each other, knowing that consolidation in the sector is not only an expectation but a means for companies to get bigger and more valuable faster.And that's a consideration that benefits all sector players and helps expose low-priced opportunities worth evaluating. Appraising Recharge Resources as the sum of its parts, they have earned a place on that list.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

All of the people declined to be identified because the matter is private.The shortfall represents a lost opportunity to capitalise on the Ariya's buzz and test demand for the first of 19 new EVs Nissan plans to roll out by 2030. It also hinders the automaker's plans for growth in the electric car market it helped pioneer before ceding dominance to Tesla Inc.Ariya production has been slowed by problems with the highly automated "intelligent factory" manufacturing system it built for the model at its plant in Tochigi, north of Tokyo, two of the people said.Nissan designed a system that would allow it to produce cars with different powertrains - batteries, hybrids and internal combustion engines - on the same line.Implementation has proved "an extremely, extremely high challenge" and the advanced paint line has become a persistent headache, one of the people said. Nissan also faces shortages of plating for an electronic component for the Ariya after a fire at China-based supplier Wuxi Welnew Micro-Electronic in January, one of the people said. The supplier told Reuters it had shifted output to a second plant and was "working to recover production."In a statement to Reuters, Nissan said Ariya production had faced challenges including supply of semiconductors, disruptions in components shipments and the factory's paint line. "Nissan is making a full and diligent effort to fully regain production capacity at the plant," the company said.S&P Global Ratings this week cut Nissan's debt rating to junk status, saying margins and sales volumes were unlikely to improve as quickly as previously expected. NO RESERVATIONSThe production challenges come as Nissan and France's Renault SA in January agreed to overhaul their two-decade-old alliance on more equal footing. Nissan also agreed to invest in Renault's new EV business.The Japanese automaker rode a wave of early interest in EVs with the Leaf hatchback in 2010. But by 2020 that car was overtaken by Tesla's Model 3 in terms of lifetime sales. EVs accounted for just 4.5% of Nissan's global sales of 3.2 million vehicles in 2022. Nissan has targeted production of 400 Ariyas a day, according to two of the people, equivalent to almost 9,000 vehicles a month and more than 100,000 a year.Output over the next two months is expected to fall short of that, according to production planning notes from last month reviewed by Reuters. Output in March was forecast at under 6,900 vehicles and at around 5,200 in April and 5,400 in May, according to the planning notes. That has since been lowered, one of the people said.Nissan did not comment on production targets or current output.U.S. dealers stopped taking customer reservations last year, while Japanese dealers stopped taking orders in August.The Ariya was supposed to hit showrooms in 2021, but that was pushed back to 2022 because of a global chip shortage.Dublin Nissan in northern California has one Ariya for test drives, but it is not for sale, said general manager Mario Beltran. The dealership is waiting for more that could arrive this spring, he said."Just like the Beetle brought Volkswagen back, I think the Ariya will bring Nissan back," Beltran said, adding some customers had cancelled Tesla deposits for the Ariya. The car has won praise for a bold exterior and a sleek interior with lights inspired by Japanese lanterns. With a starting price of about $43,000 in the United States, the Ariya is an alternative to Tesla's Model Y, which costs about $4,300 more after recent price cuts and U.S. incentives. The Ariya qualifies for a U.S. credit of $7,500 paid to Nissan's finance company when leased.'INTELLIGENT FACTORY' The Ariya line was built with an initial investment of 33 billion yen ($243 million) as part of the "intelligent factory" initiative that Nissan says represents a completely new production system with robotics and a zero-emission pledge.The new paint line was designed to paint an entire car, including body and bumpers, together, to boost efficiency and be more environmentally friendly. Nissan has also invested in a new assembly technique that allows different powertrains to be lifted from underneath before robotic installation, saving time.  The new system uses an automated pallet to mount a pre-assembled powertrain.

The details of these arrangements have not previously been reported.If the Austin, Texas-based EV maker is able to work out the performance and process kinks and meet its ambitious production targets, the 4680 ultimately could be the linchpin - rather than choke point - in CEO Musk's dream of building 20 million vehicles annually by 2030. Neither Tesla nor Musk could be reached for comment.As part of its efforts, Tesla also has signed a deal with Korea's L&F Co to supply high-nickel cathodes that could increase the energy density of its 4680 cells, one of the sources said. The automaker aims to augment its own output with 4680 cells from Korea's LG Energy Solution and Japan's Panasonic - an insurance policy to secure future EV production, two of the sources said. LG and Panasonic are expected to supply cells for Cybertruck, one of the sources said.A shortage of batteries means "the factories stall," Musk told investors in early March. The new battery is expected to play a key role in the launch late this year of the edgy, stainless-steel Cybertruck, the company's first new model in more than three years.Tesla had considered three battery options to ensure that launch is not delayed again: smaller 2170 cells used widely in other Tesla models, 4680 cells and less-expensive lithium iron phosphate cells, but the EV maker favored waiting until the 4680 cells are ready, the sources said. Details about Tesla's Cybertruck battery strategy, including use of 4680 cells and consideration of other options, have not been reported.In 2022, Musk said he did not expect 4680 batteries would be a "limiting factor for Cybertruck or anything else." The Tesla-designed 4680 cell - so named for its external dimensions (46mm diameter, 80mm length) - is crucial to future production plans. Tesla intends to make versions at factories in Texas, California, Nevada and Berlin for use in vehicles from Model Y to Cybertruck, the sources said. But Tesla is still struggling to ramp up the first wave of production, Musk acknowledged at Tesla's investor day on March 1. 'TESLA IMPACT UNDERESTIMATED'Despite the immediate problems, some analysts remain optimistic Tesla will resolve these issues. "While execution risk remains and many details are unknown, Tesla's impact on the global battery industry may still be underestimated," Morgan Stanley said after investor day. Musk first announced the new cell at Battery Day in September 2020. At that event, he promised a 50% reduction in cell cost through a series of innovations, from a larger cell size to a new "dry" electrode coating process that could dramatically reduce the size and cost of a battery factory while boosting cell performance. Repeated delays in moving the new cell from the initial prototype phase to full-scale production also have pushed back introduction of the long-awaited Cybertruck, which was designed to take advantage of the cell's potential improvement in energy density and power - advances that have yet to materialize.But it will take time for suppliers to ramp up production.Panasonic is running a pilot 4680 production line at its Wakayama factory in Japan, and plans to start volume production later in the fiscal year that ends in March 2024.    Shoichiro Watanabe, chief technology officer of Panasonic Energy, last month said the company's new Kansas battery plant will focus initially on 2170 cells, but it will eventually shift 4680 production to North America.Last year, LG said it planned to open a new 4680 production line at its Ochang plant in Korea in the second half of 2023.Tesla's first-generation 4680 cells, built at its Fremont, California, factory, failed to hit an energy density target, people involved say. The automaker so far has been able to dry-coat the anode - the negative electrode - but is still having issues with dry-coating the cathode, where the most significant gains are expected to be made, the sources said.Tesla's attempt to ramp up production of the dry coating process has thus far resulted in enough batteries only for about 50,000 vehicles annually, Musk and company executives have said. In 2020, Musk said Tesla would have enough 4680 capacity in-house to supply 1.3 million Model Ys.While executives said it seems likely Tesla will be able to increase 4680 output five-fold by year-end, the company is hedging. Musk is betting if Tesla ends up with too many batteries this year, that is a good problem to have. It can use those for the energy storage systems it sells to utilities and consumers.Tesla also has been installing first-generation 4680 cells with "wet" cathodes in so-called structural packs in Texas-built Model Ys. A majority of those vehicles use the older 2170 cells.Tesla plans to use a cathode with more than 90% nickel in the next generation of 4680 cells, two sources said. L&F is expected to be one of the suppliers of that high-nickel cathode, another source said.

Previously the Communist Party chief in Shanghai, Li was confirmed as premier during the National People's Congress, charged with managing the world's second largest economy. He replaced the retiring Li Keqiang, widely perceived to have been sidelined as Xi tightened his grip on management of the economy. Leadership watchers say Li Qiang's closeness to Xi is both a strength and a vulnerability: while he has Xi's trust, he is beholden to his long-time patron.Trey McArver, co-founder of consultancy Trivium China, said Li is likely to be much more powerful than his predecessor. Xi expended significant political capital to get him into the role, given Li's lack of central government experience and the Shanghai lockdown, McArver said."Officials know that Li Qiang is Xi Jinping's guy," he said. "He clearly thinks that Li Qiang is a very competent person and he has put him in this position because he trusts him and he expects a lot of him."Li, 63, did not respond to questions sent to China's State Council Information Office.PRACTICAL PRAGMATISTA career bureaucrat, Li was revealed as the pick for China's number two role in October when Xi unveiled a leadership line-up stacked with loyalists.At that time, Li had been known for overseeing the harrowing COVID lockdown earlier last year of Shanghai's 25 million people, which shut the city's economy and left psychological scars among its residents. That made him a target of anger but did nothing to derail his promotion. Li was also instrumental in pushing for China's unexpectedly sudden end to its zero-COVID policy late last year, Reuters reported this month.People who have interacted with Li say they found him practical-minded, an effective bureaucratic operator and supportive of the private sector - a stance that would be expected in someone whose career put him in charge of some of China's most economically dynamic regions.As Communist Party chief between 2002 to 2004 in his home city of Wenzhou, a hotbed of entrepreneurialism, Li came across as open-minded and willing to listen, said Zhou Dewen, who represented small and midsize enterprises in the city."He took a liberal approach of granting private companies default access to enter the market, except when explicitly banned by law, rather then the traditional approach of keeping private companies out by default," said Zhou.Craig Allen, president of the U.S.-China Business Council and a former U.S. official, said Li sought to level the playing field for foreign businesses, pointing to the speed with which U.S. carmaker Tesla was able to get its Shanghai factory there operational in 2019."Clearly nothing got in the way once a decision was made. There was a clarity of a kind in his decision making, an authority, and that really helps," said Allen, describing Li as comfortable in his own skin.Still, several observers caution against putting too much weight on Li's experience in a business hub such as Shanghai, since Xi has steadily tightened Communist Party control and taken the economy in a more statist direction."Now Li is a national leader, working under a market-sceptic boss, and he has to balance growth with a range of social, technological, and geopolitical goals," said Neil Thomas, senior analyst at Eurasia.NO WALLFLOWEREven by the opaque standards of Chinese politics, there is little public information about Li's background or personal life.Born in Ruian county in what is now Wenzhou, the 17-year-old Li went to work in 1976 at an irrigation station in his hometown, a desirable job in what turned out to be the final year of Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution.Li entered Zhejiang Agricultural University in 1978, the year that campuses were reopened in China and competition for places was fierce. He received master's degrees from the central party school in Beijing and Hong Kong Polytechnic University.It was in Zhejiang, home to some of China's biggest private companies - where Xi was provincial party secretary and Li was his chief of staff between 2004 and 2007 - that the two men would have built their personal bond.American author Robert Lawrence Kuhn, who met Li and Xi together in 2005 and 2006, said the two shared an easy rapport."Unlike most other staffers of top leaders, Li was no wallflower," Kuhn told Reuters."In the presence of Xi, he felt comfortable and confident enough to put himself forward to engage me, which tells me he is not worried his boss might think he is trying to steal his limelight," Kuhn said.However, leadership watchers said there are limits to what Li will be able to do."Li can make some repairs here and there, but he won't tear down the wall and build something new," said Chen Daoyin, former associate professor at Shanghai University of Political Science and Law, and now a commentator based in Chile.

Since last year, CATL's customers have complained about its market position and the company itself has warned about the risks of the industry expanding too quickly. Three battery industry executives - including two at CATL - and two people close to regulators working with the industry told Reuters they understood Xi's remarks as a warning to both the company and the wider battery industry.One of the five, a senior manager at CATL, who like others asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter, said Xi's remarks were concerning for the whole industry."Pressure is being imposed on all parties," he said, adding that "even if the government steps on the brake, CATL's position within the industry won't be shaken".Xi was quoted by Xinhua as saying regulation had a place to ensure that emerging industries like battery production developed in a "steady and prudent manner" to avoid "a boom and a headlong rush that would dissipate in the end".CATL did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Government scrutiny of CATL and its smaller rivals, which represent 60% of global battery supply, would mark a speedbump for an industry that has been more accustomed to benefitting from subsidies. Ningde, Fujian-based CATL, which is expanding in Germany and the United States, controls 37% of the global battery market alone, more than the next three suppliers combined. Its cell-to-pack technology has provided automakers like Tesla with less-expensive iron phosphate lithium-ion batteries.Consultant Rystad Energy estimates that battery production capacity in China will reach 1,338 gigawatt hours (GWh) by year end, up 23%. CATL alone has 542 GWh of capacity online or under construction, enough to power the equivalent of more than 7 million Model Ys. But EV sales in China have started to slow, prompting CATL to offer discounts to smaller EV makers in China in February in exchange for locking in future orders.EXCESS CAPACITY RISKZeng told investors in May that the recent wave of investment worth billions of dollars in battery production could leave excess capacity as technology evolves. The company, citing supply deals with BMW, Daimler, VW, Ford and Hyundai, told analysts and investors this week that it had been cautious."We will adjust capacity construction according to timely evaluations of the market demand," the company's executives told analysts after it released its annual earnings on Thursday. Xi has in recent months voiced support for private businesses to drive growth, but executives in a range of sectors have been watching how and whether those comments will translate into action after a two-year crackdown on industries from education to technology. While there has been no indication CATL is being targeted by regulators, it has faced pushback from Chinese automakers who have complained about its pricing power in the world's largest EV market.In July, at a session attended by hundreds, including industry and local government officials and CATL's Zeng, the chairman of state-owned Guangzhou Automobile Group Zeng Qinghong shocked the crowd by taking a shot at CATL's pricing. "With batteries now taking up 60% of the cost of each vehicle, how am I not actually working for CATL?" he asked.Others, such as Xpeng and Nio, are finding alternatives to CATL. Privately, some auto executives, who ask not to be named because of ongoing ties to CATL, have echoed the criticism made by GAC's Zeng.CATL's deal to license its battery technology for production at a plant run by Ford Motor Co also faces potential scrutiny and pushback in the United States and China as EV industry competition between the two nations intensifies. Republican Senator Marco Rubio has called for the Biden administration to review the deal.CATL told investors that the partnership, which it said was based on "commercial considerations" has been moving ahead.

They argued it undermined the role inter partes review plays in "protecting a strong patent system" and violated federal law.

Taiwan's total satellite bandwidth is about 0.02% of what its undersea cables provide, according to Kenny Huang, chief executive at Taiwan Network Information Center, the island's internet domain manager. Huang said Taiwan has struggled to attract interest from international satellite companies because of strict regulations on ownership, which limit foreign shares to a maximum of 49%, and a lack of financial sweeteners. "There's little incentive for them (foreign companies)," he said. "Regulations must be changed."Defence experts say that although Taiwan can draw lessons from Ukraine's use of Starlink, a satellite network developed by Elon Musk's U.S.-based space exploration company SpaceX, they worry about relying on a commercial actor with business interests in China. "Elon Musk, we are not certain if he cares more about China's market," Tzeng said, referring to Tesla's sales in China. "We won't put all our eggs in one basket."

The ministry did not comment on sea cables or repairing them.SECURING UNDERSEA CABLESTaiwan's vulnerability was thrown into focus last month when the two undersea cables connecting the Taiwan-controlled Matsu islands, which sit close to the Chinese coast, were cut, disconnecting the 14,000 people who live there from the internet.Authorities said that their initial findings show a Chinese fishing vessel and a Chinese freighter caused the disruption, but that there was no evidence Beijing deliberately tampered with the cables. China's Taiwan Affairs Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.    Chunghwa Telecom switched on a backup microwave system that transmits signals from the top of a mountain in Taipei to Matsu, but that only restored about 5% of the bandwidth that the cables had provided.    This month, the government upgraded the system and internet speed significantly improved. But because there are few cable repair ships in the region, residents must wait until late April for internet access to be fully restored.    A senior Taiwan official familiar with security matters said that sea cable vulnerability has long been a national security concern, and that it was "ridiculous" so little progress had been made to address the issue. The person declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.    "We can't even fix sea cables on our own," the official said.Lii Wen, who leads the Matsu branch of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, described the February outage as a "warning" to Taiwan."Today, it's Matsu's sea cables that broke," he said. "What if one day all 14 of Taiwan's undersea cables connecting us to the outside world break? Will we be adequately prepared?"China will probably take aim at Taiwan's sea cables or the cable landing stations before an all-out attack, experts say, a move that would cause panic, paralyse commercial activity, and help Beijing gain control over the international narrative.China's Taiwan Affairs Office did not respond to a request for comment.Taiwan's military has long prepared back-up plans, including a fibre-optic network for communications within Taiwan, satellites, high-frequency radio, and microwave systems.The impact on civilians would be severe regardless, and authorities are reinforcing Taiwan's four entry points for international sea cables and running more frequent war simulations involving them, Huang said."In a state of emergency, people will want to get information," said Chieh Chung, a military researcher at the National Policy Foundation, a Taipei-based think tank. "If they can't get information, people's panic will spread." Cutting off communications and causing chaos would not be the only military effects of severing the cables, Huang said. Taiwan might find it difficult to calibrate a response to such a move that an aggressor couldn't use to justify an all-out attack."So the first step (for China) - with about 99 percent likelihood - is to cut our sea cables," Huang said.

The company said at the time proceeds raised in the placement will be used to fund the production and upgrades of lithium-ion batteries in four Chinese cities, and enhance research and development. The private placement was the biggest equity capital market transaction in China last year and the second largest follow-on deal globally in 2020, according to Dealogic data.At $5 billion, the GDR deal would easily be the largest such listing by a Chinese company in Switzerland, according to Refinitiv data.

With much better liquidity on the domestic market, investors can exit more easily.But when investors transfer the capital from onshore to offshore, it consumes some of China's foreign exchange reserves, while issuers usually keep the proceeds raised for overseas use.

The company delivered 405,278 vehicles in the quarter.Tesla joins other major vehicle makers facing "right to repair" antitrust litigation over alleged exclusionary conduct.A group of cases against Harley-Davidson Motor Co Group LLC were recently consolidated in Wisconsin federal court, and Deere & Co, the world's largest farm equipment maker, is defending against allegations in federal district court in Chicago. Both companies have denied claims.The U.S. Federal Trade Commission in 2021 issued a policy statement that said the agency would make it a priority to address manufacturer restrictions on repairs and parts.Tesla's alleged restraints on service and repair, according to the new lawsuits, caused "exorbitant wait times" for drivers who otherwise would have gone to an independent repair shop.The lawsuits call for Tesla's repair services and parts monopoly to be "dismantled" and for the company to be ordered to make its repair manuals and diagnostic tools "available to individuals and independent repair shops at a reasonable cost."The cases are Virginia Lambrix v Tesla Inc, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, No. 3:23-cv-01145; and Robert Orendian v.

Tesla is a multinational automotive, clean energy, and artificial intelligence company headquartered in Austin, Texas and incorporated in Delaware. The Company operates “six huge, vertically integrated factories” across three continents. They build, design, sell, and service a range of products such as electric vehicles and energy generation and storage systems.The Securities Fraud ClaimsIn 2014, Tesla announced Tesla Autopilot, a suite of purportedly advanced driver-assistance system (“ADAS”) features, including automated lane-centering, traffic-aware cruise control, lane changes, semi-autonomous navigation, and self-parking. In September 2014, Tesla cars started shipping equipped with the sensors and software necessary to support the Autopilot system. Since then, Tesla has touted refinements and enhancements to its ADAS and Autopilot features, including so called “Full Self-Driving” (“FDS”) software, which allegedly enables Tesla vehicles to drive autonomously to a destination entered in the car’s navigation system.The Complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Defendants had significantly overstated the efficacy, viability, and safety of the Company’s Autopilot and FDS technologies; (ii) contrary to Tesla’s representations, the Autopilot and FDS technologies created a serious risk of accident and injury associated with the operation of Tesla vehicles; and (iii) as a result of the foregoing, Tesla was subjected to an increased risk of regulatory and governmental scrutiny and enforcement actions, as well as reputational harm.On April 18, 2021, multiple media outlets reported that a Tesla vehicle with “no one” driving it had crashed into a tree, killing two passengers in Texas in a “fiery” crash. On this news, Tesla’s stock price fell $25.15 per share, or 3.4%, to close at $714.63 per share on April 19, 2021.On August 16, 2021, media outlets reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) had opened a formal investigation into Tesla’s Autopilot system after a series of collisions with parked emergency vehicles. This investigation included 765,000 vehicles, which was nearly every vehicle that Tesla has sold in the U.S since the start of the 2014 model year. On this news, Tesla’s stock price fell $31.00 per share, or 4.32%, to close at $686.17 per share on August 16, 2021.On June 3, 2022, it was reported that the NHTSA issued a formal inquiry to Tesla about the Autopilot and FSD features for certain models of its vehicles after receiving more than 750 complaints from owners of the vehicles about sudden breaking with no immediate cause. On this news, Tesla stock plummeted $71.45 per share, or 9.22%, to close at $703.55 per share on June 3, 2022.On January 27, 2023, it was reported that the SEC was investigating statements made by Tesla and its CEO, Defendant Elon Musk, concerning the Autopilot system. On this news, Tesla’s stock fell $11.24 per share, or 6.32%, to close at $166.66 per share on January 30, 2023.On February 16, 2023, media outlets reported that the NHTSA ordered a recall of almost 363,000 Tesla vehicles equipped with the FSD “beta” software. On this news, Tesla stock fell $12.20 per share, or 5.69%, to close at $202.04 per share on February 16, 2023.Finally on February 18, 2023, it was reported that a Tesla vehicle had crashed into a fire truck that was responding to an accident, killing the driver, and injuring a passenger and four firefighters. They attributed the crash to poorly performing ADAS technologies, which increased market and public concerns about the Autopilot system. On this news, Tesla’s stock price fell $10.94 per share, or 5.25%, to close at $197.37 per share on February 21, 2023, the next trading day.For more information, please contact:Marc H.

Through our large volume and third-party sales business, we want to be one of those standards," he said.AMBITIOUS ROADMAPMaking or sourcing batteries at a reasonable cost is a key challenge for carmakers like Volkswagen, Tesla and Stellantis as they seek to make electric vehicles (EVs) affordable.Only Tesla has pledged more investment into battery production than Volkswagen, according to a Reuters analysis - though even the U.S. EV maker is struggling to ramp up production and is recruiting Asian suppliers to help.Few carmakers have disclosed direct stakes in mines, but many have struck deals with producers to source materials like lithium, nickel and cobalt and pass them onto their battery suppliers.PowerCo, set up last year, is targeting 20 billion euros ($21.22 billion) in annual sales by 2030.It's an ambitious roadmap for a unit not yet producing at scale. Production will start in 2025 at PowerCo's plant in Salzgitter, Germany, 2026 in Valencia, Spain and 2027 in Ontario, Canada.Still, Schmall is confident the carmaker can expand quickly - and must do so if it wants to build an affordable EV, in which 40% of the costs come from the battery.Volkswagen released on Thursday the details of a 25,000-euro EV it aims to sell in Europe from 2025.China's BYD, which also produces batteries, is far ahead of Volkswagen in the affordable EV race and outsold the German carmaker for the second time in four months in China in February.REDUCING COSTSIn Volkswagen's 180-billion-euro five year spending plan, up to 15 billion is earmarked for its three announced battery plants and some raw material sourcing.The carmaker has so far nailed down raw material supply until 2026 - by which time the German and Spanish plants will be in operation - and will decide in the next few months how to meet its demand from then on, Schmall said in the interview.It has also ordered some $14 billion in batteries from Northvolt's Swedish plant."Bringing down battery costs further is a challenge," Schmall said. "We're using all the instruments with PowerCo."Asian producers like CATL, LG Chem and Samsung SDI dominate global cell production, with almost half of planned battery cell capacity in Europe by Asian players.Half the staff at Volkswagen's PowerCo are industry veterans from Asia, Schmall said, enabling the battery unit to enter the industry at the top of the learning curve.($1 = 0.9427 euros) (Reporting by Victoria Waldersee; Editing by Susan Fenton)By Victoria Waldersee \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/TSLA/2023.03.20/Former director of Tesla Australia sentenced for insider trading.txt b/news/TSLA/2023.03.20/Former director of Tesla Australia sentenced for insider trading.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..7b2fcd4eafdfda5265807924ed45328a724ca05e --- /dev/null +++ b/news/TSLA/2023.03.20/Former director of Tesla Australia sentenced for insider trading.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +The sentence follows the former director's guilty pleas to two insider trading offences tied to a supply deal the electric-car maker signed with Piedmont Lithium Inc in 2020, according to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).ASIC said Kurt Schlosser purchased 86,478 shares in U.S.-based Piedmont in two transactions after being informed of details of a five-year spodumene concentrate supply agreement.Schlosser sold the shares for a realised profit of $28,883.53 after the agreement became public, according to the watchdog.The regulator added that Schlosser communicated information to a friend "in circumstances where it was likely" that the person would acquire Piedmont shares.Last November, Schlosser pled guilty at a court in Sydney.Tesla and Piedmont Lithium did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments.

"That throws a wrench in a lot +of people's plans."A requirement to source 55% of the cost of components from +the United States was deferred until mid-2024, but executives +expected deferrals in other terms as well.Patel said it typically takes 12-18 months to move +production from another country, adding that XCharge, one of the +largest sellers of EV fast chargers in the European Union, was +accelerating setting up a U.S. facility to comply with the +rules, which could push costs up by about 25-30%.About two-thirds of the federal plan funding will go to +states while applicants such as cities, counties and Native +American tribes can compete for the rest.In Arizona, the state's Department of Transportation is +leading efforts to build charging stations, and expects $76.5 +million in federal charging funds over the next five years."Buy America is likely to be another constraint in terms of +how fast we can get the stations out," Thor Anderson, a project +manager at the Arizona Department of Transportation, told +Reuters. "Everybody is going to be looking to install new +charging stations at once so that's going to put a lot of +pressure on the manufacturing of chargers."But the federal government said it expects there will be +enough chargers to meet the "limited" initial demand even as the +program ramps up.TESLA'S EDGEFast chargers can add hundreds of miles of driving range in +an hour or less. That compares with the five hours or so it +takes the less-expensive Level 2 chargers to top up a vehicle. +There are about 30,000 fast-charging machines around the nation, +of which about 60% are made and operated by the industry's +leading EV maker, Tesla. The particularly powerful charger +models can cost more than $100,000.Tesla makes them at its factory in Buffalo, New York, +meeting the requirements for final assembly. The stakes are +higher for other companies that are yet to set up their +manufacturing in the U.S. and depend on the federal program for +much of their revenue.At the behest of the U.S. government, Tesla has started to +open its charging stations to non-Tesla cars, but it is not +clear whether it will bid for federal funds. Tesla did not +respond to a request for comment.The first, $1.25 billion round of the Biden buildout is +focused squarely on the highway fast chargers, with later rounds +including slower chargers for overnight charging, for instance.FRUSTRATING SPEED BUMPEVgo Inc, a charging network operator with more +than 850 fast-charging locations, said there is a process to +individually request for a deferral of the "Made in America" +rules but it is unsure if the government will allow that. Its +South Korean charger manufacturer, SK Signet Inc, is +planning to open a Texas factory to produce up to 10,000 +direct-current fast chargers annually by 2026.But EVgo Chief Commercial Officer Jonathan Levy said there +is risk that 2023 projects could wait while the supply chain +catches up, and it is difficult to plan."You have this uncertainty.

General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co, BMW and Volkswagen's Audi unit also are producing EVs in Mexico, or plan to. And Mexico also has at least one home-grown EV-maker, the unlisted Zacua.    Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, a leading contender to be Mexico's next president, said the government wants EVs to account for half of all cars sold domestically by 2030. Officials said that goal includes all zero emission vehicles, including hybrid and hydrogen-powered autos. Even so, it will take a lot of work to get there.    EVs made up just 0.5% of domestic auto sales last year, according to Mexico's Auto Industry Association AMIA, far below the U.S. percentage of 5.8%, according to research firm Motor Intelligence. If hybrids are added, Mexico reaches 4.7%.    "There are still a number of issues that need resolving in Mexico before there's a massive influx of electric cars," said Mario Hernandez, KMPG's lead manufacturing partner in Mexico.Hernandez said drawbacks included a lack of subsidies for buyers, high costs for installing charging devices at homes and a shortage of public charging stations, vital for longer journeys. Unlike other countries, Mexico has not yet agreed on a plan to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles, he added.    Nearly 1.1 million new cars in total were sold in Mexico last year. Just 5,600 of those were EVs, much less than the 8,400 sold in Latin America's biggest car market, Brazil.    Yet output of EVs in Mexico was seen surging to 142,000 cars this year from 78,000 in 2022, Mexico's auto parts industry group INA estimated before Tesla announced its new plant.    AMIA Executive President Jose Zozaya told Reuters there were still "too few incentives from government" to boost EV sales.    "I have my reservations that we can reach authorities' expectations by 2030," said Nazareth Black, Chief Executive of EV-maker Zacua. "A real government incentive scheme would be necessary to really accelerate adoption of electric vehicles."    RANGE ANXIETY    Elsewhere in Latin America, countries from Costa Rica to Chile have included EV targets to reduce emissions as part of their commitments under the 2015 Paris climate accords. So far Mexico has shied away from such pledges.    The country needs more charging stations to make EVs practical. Mexico has about 1,100 charging stations nationwide, mostly in the capital and other major cities, according to AMIA. New York state alone has 9,000, according to the governor.    Pedro Corral, director of operations for EV charging stations platform Evergo, drives his all-electric i3 BMW around Mexico City. But when he leaves the city, he generally switches to a fuel-powered Toyota lest he run out of charge.    Evergo aims to install 4,000 chargers for public use in the next four years, betting on growing appetite for EVs.     Still, Corral said current sales suggest Mexico's targets are unrealistic, and was unsure the publicity surrounding Tesla's new factory would boost sales much.    Tesla's cheapest model, costing some $55,000, plus the expense of a charger, means most Mexicans cannot afford an EV. Cheaper models like the Nissan Leaf go for more than $50,000 and even the two seater Zacua costs around 600,000 pesos ($31,767).    The typical Mexican worker makes $366 a month on average, according to official data. The statutory minimum wage guarantees a Mexican around $11 per day.    And while Tesla's superchargers are ubiquitous in populous U.S. regions, they are sparse in Mexico. Many states have none.    "There are great benefits of having an electric car," said Corral, "but they are costly and people worry about the range."($1 = 18.8870 Mexican pesos) (Reporting by Aida Pelaez-Fernandez; additional reporting by Daina Beth Solomon and Diego Ore; Editing by Dave Graham and David Gregorio)By Aida Pelaez-Fernandez \ No newline at end of file diff --git "a/news/TSLA/2023.03.21/Moody's Raises Tesla's Rating : automaker's bonds are no longer \"junk\".txt" "b/news/TSLA/2023.03.21/Moody's Raises Tesla's Rating : automaker's bonds are no longer \"junk\".txt" new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..25a9895a02602458b9119e0af1ae82d29c1f7522 --- /dev/null +++ "b/news/TSLA/2023.03.21/Moody's Raises Tesla's Rating : automaker's bonds are no longer \"junk\".txt" @@ -0,0 +1 @@ + Copyright BusinessAMBE Rating agency Moody's is confident that Tesla will be able to maintain its dominant position over its competitors, sales will continue to grow, new models will be launched and profit margins will be high.

EVs represented nearly 6% of all U.S. sales in 2022, with EV sales up by more than 60% last year.President Joe Biden wants 50% of all new vehicles sold in 2030 to be EV or plug-in hybrid models. Tesla Inc is the leading EV maker in the U.S., but other top-selling models include Ford Motor Co's Mustang Mach-E SUV, General Motors Co's Chevrolet Bolt and Hyundai Motor's Ioniq 5.The poll found 56% of respondents would be willing to pay no more than $49,999 for an EV. In August, the Biden administration won a significant expansion of $7,500 electric vehicle tax credits and other battery and EV manufacturing incentives to shift the industry toward electric models but EVs are still often significantly above $50,000.The poll also found that 35% wanted an EV that offered 500 or more miles of electric driving range per full charge, a distance few EVs offer today. Another 37% wanted a minimum of 300 miles.The world's top automakers are spending hundreds of billions of dollars to develop EVs, along with the batteries and raw materials to support that production as the Biden administration moves to adopt new regulations to speed the transition away from gasoline-powered vehicles.In the coming weeks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to propose new, more stringent vehicle emissions rules through at least the 2030 model year.In December 2021, the EPA finalized new light-duty tailpipe emissions requirements through the 2026 model year that reversed then-President Donald Trump's rollback of car pollution cuts.One big question is whether the new EPA rules will be consistent with California's aggressive efforts to ramp up zero- emission vehicles and phase out new gasoline-powered vehicles by 2035.California Air Resources Board Executive Officer Steven Cliff told Reuters in December the federal government should "look at stringency that's equivalent to our rules ... We're 68% zero emissions in 2030 so modeling that and looking at that as an option for 2030 is absolutely critical."Biden has not endorsed California's plan to phase out new gas-powered light-duty vehicles by 2035.The Reuters/Ipsos poll, conducted online, surveyed 4,410 people nationwide and had a credibility interval of about 2 to 3 percentage points in either direction.

(CSE: RR) (OTC: RECHF) (Frankfurt: SL5) stock is following its peer's lower as commodity prices and risk-off sentiment weigh on smallcap exploration companies. But the trend shouldn't serve as a deterrent but rather an opportunity, especially with RECHF continuing to provide tangible updates of progress made at its historically rich mining locations.More was provided last week when Recharge Resources announced that its brine samples containing 161 ppm lithium taken from its 2022 DDH3 drill program at the Pocitos lithium brine project in Salta, Argentina, are being converted from lithium chloride to battery-grade lithium carbonate. That process involves RECHF using Ekosolve(TM) 10-stage extraction methods to produce lithium chloride, which is expected to provide end-product revenues under the offtake LOI between Recharge and Richlink Capital's clients. Moreover, this development could expedite a further pre-engineering step being completed to produce lithium carbonate from the Pocitos lithium brines.Here's the better news from a longer-term perspective. This additional work serves as an Ekosolve(TM) Extraction performance test recovery that could accelerate scale-up of providing up to 20,000 tonnes per year of Ekosolve(TM) Lithium Brine Extraction from the Pocitos project, which could benefit RECHF revenue-wise from a technology licensing agreement announced in 2022. This technology is more than different; it's productive.Innovative Technology To Enhance Revenue PotentialThe Ekosolve(TM) Lithium Solvent Exchange Extraction process efficiently manages lithium brine processing to produce lithium carbonate with a grade higher than 99.2% and a recovery of 97%. Those returns are appreciably better than any ion exchange or adsorption process commercially available to date.The essential advantage of the Ekosolve system, licensed from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Ekosolve Ltd, the exclusive master licensee, is the exceptionally high lithium yield, with past yields of 93%-96% and 97.5% of the solvent being reclaimed. Other systems, such as absorption, may achieve 72-80% yield, fractional crystallization of 50-70%, and membranes and ion exchange up to 70-90%.Furthermore, extra processes are usually required to manage the magnesium and boron content in the brines with absorption and ion exchange systems, an issue irrelevant to the Ekosolve process. That advantage inherently lowers the capital expenditure and operating costs and provides a more eco and environmentally-friendly processing solution because evaporation ponds are not required.New Milestones ReachedFrom an investor's standpoint, the more exciting news is in the brine flow details. Ekosolve(TM) pre-engineering studies have shown that brine flow exceeds 35,000 megalitres per year. And that impressive rate could increase after Recharge successfully completed its 2022 drill campaign at Pocitos 1, assaying 169 ppm and over two weeks averaging 161 ppm Lithium. There's more promising data. Further surface pit samples from the recently acquired contiguous Pocitos 2 project sampled 181 PPM lithium, the highest lithium value found on the Pocitos salar to date. That's in addition to RECHF's three drill holes at the project having exceptional brine flow rates.For RECHF, the work completed is another milestone in its mission to build an up to a 20,000-tonne Ekosolve(TM) lithium extraction plant at the Pocitos project, which would supply Richlink Capital Pty. Ltd. up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium chloride/carbonate per year. Terms of that deal were announced under a letter of intent of offtake. The longer term could benefit both companies more significantly if the resource is economically sourced and mine longevity extended.Further flow rate testing is scheduled this month at Pocitos 1 by RECHF's geologists to determine paths forward in each respect.Pocitos Projects Could Deliver Significant ValueThere's evidence supporting a positive read. And the groundwork completed at its Argentina-based Pocitos 1 project puts RECHF a significant step closer to exploiting precious mineral deposits to serve unprecedented demand. Remember, Recharge already announced receiving approval from that country's Dept of Mines to drill a production diameter well at its Salar Lithium Brine Project, which could expedite the pathway for additional exploration approvals. That news was preceded by RECHF announcing plans to expedite development at its Georgia Lake and West Lithium projects in Ontario, Canada.It was a one-two punch that did well in attracting investor interest. But there is still more driving the RECHF value proposition. Last month, RECHF announced engaging with Quantec Geoscience Argentina SA to provide a Controlled-Source Magnetotellurics audio-telleric geophysical survey to delineate the lithology and potential aquifers on its 800 ha property down to a depth of 500m at the flagship Pocitos 1 Lithium Brine Project in Salta, Argentina. That work is expected to start by April 2023. Notably, the data revealed from this new milestone could become a near-term catalyst.While the dose of excellent updates inspired a well-deserved rally, a third update exposed additional value added to the RECHF pipeline. The announcement was from AIS Resources Limited (TSX.V: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF), who congratulated Recharge Resources on signing an option agreement with Spey Resources Corp. whereby RECHF can acquire up to a 100% undivided interest in the Pocitos 2 Project.AIS retains a 7.5% royalty of the FOB price of lithium carbonate or other lithium compounds sold on Pocitos 1 & 2 under AIS' underlying Option Agreement with Spey Resources. That means that if the Pocitos 1 and 2 options are exercised, AIS will receive $1,000,000 and $732,000, respectively, on or before June 30, 2023. Both Pocitos 1 and 2 have been optioned by Recharge from Spey. That's a potentially huge value driver for RECHF because acquiring the Pocitos 2 Option can significantly increase the size of its potential resource holdings.Remember, proven reserves, even underground, can be marked as assets in the metals, exploration, and mining sectors. And as later-stage exploration work continues this year at its 2023 Pocitos drilling program, proving reserves can mean a valuation windfall for RECHF and AIS.Fast-Moving And ProductiveThat could facilitate RECHF being significantly closer to building an up-to-20,000-tonne lithium extraction Ekosolve plant at the Pocitos 1 project. As noted, once completed, RECHF has supply agreements in place, committing to sell up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium chloride/carbonate per year to Richlink Capital Pty. Ltd.That deal can be worth a lot despite a bearish trend for the asset, which posted spot market prices last week at 319,500 yuan per tonne, equal to about $46,391 (US) per tonne at exchange rates published on March 17, 2023. Thus, assuming RECHF delivers the entire 20,000 tonnes as contracted, revenues could eclipse $927 million at current exchange rates. That could happen faster than many expect, considering that the company now has three existing drill holes in place, this new drilling, and a CSAMT audio-telluric geophysical survey to contribute to an NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate.Speculatively speaking, those activities help to mitigate downside risk. Attribute some of that assessment from RECHF benefiting from an Argentinian geological team empowering the company to expedite progress toward establishing a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource. They are also helping to facilitate, even expediting, a scoping study of the project in collaboration with its Chinese offtake partners and investors for lithium chloride products at the Pocitos1 Project. The inherent value is that whether through a primary supply client or many, the work getting done positions RECHF to sell to substantial global demand.An Attractive Long-Term Lithium Market OpportunityAnd that's a long-term proposition. Elon Musk recently told his investors that his company is moving forward to build a lithium refinery on the Texas Gulf Coast to gain more control over the supply chain for EV batteries. And Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) isn't the only company working proactively to secure the assets needed to maintain production; Ford (NYSE: F), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and several other EV manufacturers are trying to secure as much lithium as possible. Some are trying to buy total production outputs from suppliers or even considering purchasing entire projects to support EV initiatives. Of course, they are just one industry needing what RECHF intends to supply.Consumer goods, defense companies like Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), and industrials need what this smallcap exploration company is in business to deliver. It's often said that value is at its best on the ground floor, which makes sense, given that risk is still attached to the company. But, taken as a whole and accounting for the infrastructure already turning the gears of progress, there are still tremendous values to be had in under-the-radar exploration companies on the cusp of transformation.RECHF makes that list. Supporting the case beyond what has been noted, the company is transparent, has an expert management team, and is accelerating the pace of its projects at locations where vast reserves have been unearthed historically. Few expect that will change during RECHF's mission.Know this, too: there's still more to appreciate from the RECHF portfolio.Georgia Lake And West Lithium ProjectsRecharge Resources is also advancing promising Georgia Lake and West lithium projects, located approximately 160 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay Mining Division. Parts of these properties border Rock Tech projects, which recently announced its expectation to finalize a more than $670 million high-quality lithium supply deal with Mercedes-Benz AG.That deal leads RECHF to remain optimistic its locations can offer the same production promises. Known is the fact that the Rock Tech Lithium, Georgia Lake project hosts several spodumene-bearing pegmatites, with Lithium mineralization discovered in 1955 and subsequently explored by several historic owners exposing the properties as an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource. That was reported in Rock Tech's Preliminary Economic Assessment filed in March 2021.While past performance isn't the most accurate indicator in many industries, it is within the mining and exploration sector. Remember, mineral deposits are not stingy where they settle, meaning that bordering a property indicated to have potentially massive reserves is indeed bullish to neighboring prospects. Rock Tech is a good one to have in proximity.Rock Tech expects to deliver up to 10,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium hydroxide per year to Mercedes-Benz AG starting in 2026. That's indeed excellent news for Rock Tech. Moreover, it also gives good reason for RECHF to trade higher in sympathy, noting that Rock Tech anticipates that the planned delivery of that product won't deplete its capable inventory, indicating a substantial amount of lithium is expected to be mined.More directly, bordering a company preparing to supply more than half a trillion dollars in lithium to a global business giant puts Recharge Resources in the right place at the right time. In fact, few argue against the statement that in the mining business, location is everything when it comes to mining for metals and mineral riches. And based on Rock Tech's deal, RECHF is sitting on a potential lithium windfall.Cobalt Adds Another Value ComponentThere's another potentially massive value driver in play: cobalt. Recharge Resources said it plans to capitalize on that market potential as well. Cobalt is a critical metal needed for EV battery production. However, more valuable to RECHF's opportunity to attract client interest is that virtually no cobalt production is happening in North America. It is debatable whether that's due to its fractional use compared to other necessary battery metals. What isn't, however, is that cobalt's need is no less critical than other battery metals.That demand adds another substantial revenue-generating shot on goal to the business plan. Moreover, as one of only a handful of North American suppliers, it's possible that RECHF could earn a sizable market share, whether alone or through partnerships, especially after reporting that it's already in the early stages of proving its cobalt resources. If those reserve estimates are verified, it's feasible for RECHF to become one of the first North American cobalt resources brought into commercial production.Groundwork Completed For A Breakout 2023Bottom line: RECHF's sum of its parts position them ideally for what could be a transformative 2023. The more excellent news supporting that proposition is that in addition to proving assets under the ground, RECHF has shots at revenue-generating goals from at least three assets needed to fulfill a global shift to electrification. And with many mega-cap companies scrambling for supply, smallcap Recharge could be playing in the supply chain's big leagues. In fact, if current exploration surveys confirm assets underground, RECHF could attract companies eager to invest in further exploration and development projects to shore up their own inventory concerns.In other words, junior miners and exploration companies like RECHF, which could become vital to the supply chain, may be presenting some of the best value investment opportunities. Thus, while the senior sector companies may earn more headlines, many are fully valued. At current values, especially after non-company-specific reasons for a decline, RECHF isn't. And considering they are in a global market needing what they expect to sell, that could make the path of least resistance for Recharge Resources growth likely higher.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

Recharge Resources Ltd. (CSE: RR) (OTC: RECHF) (Frankfurt: SL5) has several positioned to do just that. And it could be why the RECHF bulls are again bidding shares higher. Shares are trading higher by about 7% on Tuesday despite an appreciable decline in commodities and minerals prices, which have sent most sector stocks lower. Of course, the global banking fiasco didn't help, as risk-off sentiment swept through smallcap names, sending valuations lower indiscriminately. But every trade has two sides. And with weakness subsiding and risk creeping back into the markets, a patient bid may become aggressive, which could send RECHF shares back toward its intra-month high of $0.49, roughly 88% higher than current.While a bullish target, RECHF provides the ammo to support reclaiming that level. Last week the company announced that its brine samples containing 161 ppm lithium taken from its 2022 DDH3 drill program at the Pocitos lithium brine project in Salta, Argentina, are being converted from lithium chloride to battery-grade lithium carbonate. The process involves RECHF using Ekosolve(TM) 10-stage extraction methods to produce lithium chloride, which is expected to provide end-product revenues under the offtake LOI between Recharge and Richlink Capital's clients. Moreover, this development could expedite a further pre-engineering step being completed to produce lithium carbonate from the Pocitos lithium brines.More excellent news from a near-term perspective is that these milestones reached have the potential to become catalysts. And for junior exploration companies like RECHF, those transformations tend to inherently increase share prices. Heading into Q2, that could be the path of least resistance for Recharge stock.Ekosolve(TM) Extraction Technology Difference Is Its AdvantageUpdates support that thesis. The work getting done now serves as an Ekosolve(TM) Extraction performance test that could accelerate scale-up of providing up to 20,000 tonnes per year of Ekosolve(TM) Lithium Brine Extraction from the Pocitos project. That could benefit RECHF revenue-wise from a technology licensing agreement announced in 2022. And it could go well beyond that, noting that this technology is more than different; it's productive.The Ekosolve(TM) Lithium Solvent Exchange Extraction process efficiently manages lithium brine processing to produce lithium carbonate with a grade higher than 99.2% and a recovery of 97%. Those returns are appreciably better than any ion exchange or adsorption process commercially available to date. The primary advantage of the Ekosolve system, licensed from the University of Melbourne, Australia, and Ekosolve Ltd, the exclusive master licensee, is the exceptionally high lithium yield, with past yields of 93%-96% and 97.5% of the solvent being reclaimed. Other systems, such as absorption, may achieve 72-80% yield, fractional crystallization of 50-70%, and membranes and ion exchange up to 70-90%.Furthermore, extra processes are usually required to manage the magnesium and boron content in the brines with absorption and ion exchange systems, an issue irrelevant to the Ekosolve process. That advantage inherently lowers the capital expenditure and operating costs and provides a more eco and environmentally-friendly processing solution because evaporation ponds are not required.Data Indicates Milestones Reached Can Become CatalystsFrom an investor's perspective, the more promising news is in the brine flow details. Ekosolve(TM) pre-engineering studies have shown that brine flow exceeds 35,000 megalitres per year. And that impressive rate could increase after Recharge successfully completed its 2022 drill campaign at Pocitos 1, assaying 169 ppm and over two weeks averaging 161 ppm Lithium. There's more encouraging data. Further surface pit samples from the recently acquired contiguous Pocitos 2 project sampled 181 PPM lithium, the highest lithium value found on the Pocitos salar to date. That's in addition to RECHF's three drill holes at the project having exceptional brine flow rates.For RECHF, the work completed puts them a giant step closer to building up to a 20,000-tonne Ekosolve(TM) lithium extraction plant at the Pocitos project, which would supply Richlink Capital Pty. Ltd. up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium chloride/carbonate per year. Terms of that deal were announced under a letter of intent of offtake. The longer-term could benefit both companies more significantly if the resource is economically sourced and mine longevity extended, and further flow rate testing scheduled this month at Pocitos 1 by RECHF's geologists could help determine paths forward in each respect.Pocitos Projects And Deals Accretive To GrowthThere's evidence indicating a positive read. And that cumulative data supports that the groundwork completed at its Argentina-based Pocitos 1 project puts RECHF a significant step closer to exploiting precious mineral deposits to serve unprecedented demand. Remember, Recharge already announced receiving approval from that country's Dept of Mines to drill a production diameter well at its Salar Lithium Brine Project, expediting the pathway for additional exploration approvals. That news was preceded by RECHF announcing plans to expedite development at its Georgia Lake and West Lithium projects in Ontario, Canada.It was a one-two combination that attracted investor interest. But there is plenty more value behind those announcements. Last month, RECHF announced engaging with Quantec Geoscience Argentina SA to provide a Controlled-Source Magnetotellurics audio-telleric geophysical survey to delineate the lithology and potential aquifers on its 800 ha property down to a depth of 500m at the flagship Pocitos 1 Lithium Brine Project in Salta, Argentina. That work is expected to start by April 2023.While the dose of excellent updates inspired a well-deserved rally, a third update exposed additional value added to the RECHF pipeline. The announcement was from AIS Resources Limited (TSX.V: AIS, OTCQB: AISSF), who congratulated Recharge Resources on signing an option agreement with Spey Resources Corp. whereby RECHF can acquire up to a 100% undivided interest in the Pocitos 2 Project.AIS retains a 7.5% royalty of the FOB price of lithium carbonate or other lithium compounds sold on Pocitos 1 & 2 under AIS' underlying Option Agreement with Spey Resources. That means that if the Pocitos 1 and 2 options are exercised, AIS will receive $1,000,000 and $732,000, respectively, on or before June 30, 2023. Both Pocitos 1 and 2 have been optioned by Recharge from Spey. That's a potentially huge value driver for RECHF because acquiring the Pocitos 2 Option can significantly increase the size of its potential resource holdings. Remember, proven reserves, even underground, can be marked as assets in the metals, exploration, and mining sectors. And as later-stage exploration work continues this year at its 2023 Pocitos drilling program, proving reserves can mean a valuation windfall for RECHF and AIS.Sales Agreements In Place To Expedite GrowthThat could facilitate RECHF being significantly closer to building an up-to-20,000-tonne lithium extraction Ekosolve plant at the Pocitos 1 project. Once completed, RECHF has supply agreements, committing to sell up to 20,000 tonnes of lithium chloride/carbonate per year to Richlink Capital Pty. Ltd.That deal can be worth a lot despite a bearish trend for the asset, which posted spot market prices at 255,500 yuan per tonne on Tuesday, equal to about $37,159 (US) per tonne. Still, assuming RECHF delivers the entire 20,000 tonnes as contracted, revenues could eclipse $743 million at current exchange rates, no small number. That could happen faster than many expect. RECHF now has three existing drill holes, new drilling, and a CSAMT audio-telluric geophysical survey to contribute to an NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Remember that lithium markets have weakened appreciably as global economic slowdown concerns increase. But, historically, when those concerns evaporate, mineral and metals prices generally soar, a likely scenario resulting from the booming EV sector demand requiring more supply than output.Speculatively speaking, weak minerals markets today help mitigate downside risk. Markets can only go so low when pricing the materials essential for global electrification. In RECHF's case, they are well-positioned to capitalize on those market opportunities, benefiting from an Argentinian geological team empowering the company to expedite progress toward establishing a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource. They are also helping to facilitate, potentially expediting, a scoping study of the project in collaboration with its Chinese offtake partners and investors for lithium chloride products at the Pocitos1 Project. The inherent value is that whether through a primary supply client or many, the work getting done positions RECHF to sell to substantial global demand.Lithium And Other Mineral Market Opportunities, A Long-Term PlayThat demand is here to stay for the foreseeable future. Elon Musk recently told his investors that his company is moving forward with plans to build a lithium refinery on the Texas Gulf Coast to gain more control over the supply chain for EV batteries. And Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) isn't the only company working proactively to secure the assets needed to maintain production; Ford (NYSE: F), General Motors (NYSE: GM), and several other EV manufacturers are trying to secure as much lithium as possible. Some are trying to buy total production outputs from suppliers or even considering purchasing entire projects to support EV initiatives. Of course, they are just one industry needing what RECHF intends to supply.Consumer goods, defense companies like Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT), and industrials need what this smallcap exploration company is in business to deliver. It's often said that value is at its best on the ground floor, which makes sense, given that risk is still attached to the company. But, taken as a whole and accounting for the infrastructure already turning the gears of progress, there are still tremendous values to be had in under-the-radar exploration companies on the cusp of transformation.RECHF makes that list. Supporting the case beyond what has been noted, the company is transparent, has an expert management team, and is accelerating the pace of its projects at locations where vast reserves have been unearthed historically. Few expect that will change during RECHF's mission.There's still more to appreciate from the RECHF portfolio.Additional Intrinsic Value From Georgia Lake And West Lithium ProjectsRecharge Resources is also advancing promising Georgia Lake and West lithium projects, located approximately 160 km northeast of Thunder Bay, Ontario, within the Thunder Bay Mining Division. Parts of these properties border Rock Tech projects, which recently announced its expectation to finalize a more than $670 million high-quality lithium supply deal with Mercedes-Benz AG.That deal leads RECHF to remain optimistic its locations can offer the same production promises. Known is the fact that the Rock Tech Lithium, Georgia Lake project hosts several spodumene-bearing pegmatites, with Lithium mineralization discovered in 1955 and subsequently explored by several historic owners exposing the properties as an NI 43-101 Mineral Resource. That was reported in Rock Tech's Preliminary Economic Assessment filed in March 2021.While past performance isn't the most accurate indicator in many industries, it is within the mining and exploration sector. Remember, mineral deposits are not stingy where they settle, meaning that bordering a property indicated to have potentially massive reserves is indeed bullish to neighboring prospects. Rock Tech is a good one to have in proximity.Rock Tech expects to deliver up to 10,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium hydroxide per year to Mercedes-Benz AG starting in 2026. That's indeed excellent news for Rock Tech. Moreover, it also gives good reason for RECHF to trade higher in sympathy, noting that Rock Tech anticipates that the planned delivery of that product won't deplete its capable inventory, indicating a substantial amount of lithium is expected to be mined.More directly, bordering a company preparing to supply more than half a trillion dollars in lithium to a global business giant puts Recharge Resources in the right place at the right time. In fact, few argue against the statement that in the mining business, location is everything when it comes to mining for metals and mineral riches. And based on Rock Tech's deal, RECHF is sitting on a potential lithium windfall.Don't Forget RECHF's Cobalt InterestsAnother potentially massive value driver is in RECHF's playbook: cobalt. Recharge Resources said it plans to capitalize on that market potential as well. Cobalt is a critical metal needed for EV battery production. However, more valuable to RECHF's opportunity to attract client interest is that virtually no cobalt production is happening in North America. It is debatable whether that's due to its fractional use compared to other necessary battery metals. What isn't, however, is that cobalt's need is no less critical than other battery metals.That demand, and RECHF's potential to serve it, add another revenue-generating shot on goal to the business plan. Moreover, as one of only a handful of likely North American suppliers, it's possible that RECHF could earn a sizable market share, whether alone or through partnerships, especially after reporting that it's already in the early stages of proving its cobalt resources. If those reserve estimates are verified, it's feasible for RECHF to become one of the first North American cobalt resources brought into commercial production.Back To Rally Mode Likely In Q2All tolled, appraising RECHFs sum of its parts indicates that at current prices, RECHF looks appreciably undervalued, especially ahead of expected updates that could put them closer to proving substantial reserves. Remember that in addition to establishing assets under the ground, RECHF plans to exploit revenue-generating opportunities from at least three other mineral assets needed to fulfill a global shift to electrification. And with many of the world's largest companies scrambling for supply, smallcap RECHF could be a supporting player to meet massive supply chain needs.In fact, if current exploration surveys confirm assets underground, RECHF could attract companies eager to invest in further exploration and development projects to shore up their own inventory concerns. In other words, junior miners and exploration companies like RECHF, which could become vital to the supply chain, may present some of the best value investment opportunities. Thus, while the senior sector companies may earn more headlines, many are fully valued.At current values, especially with short-term commodities pricing pressures driving valuations lower, RECHF isn't. On the contrary, they have more intrinsic and inherent value than their share price presents. But as shown in February, when markets are ripe, RECHF can rally. And better positioned today than when it scored a price 88% higher, is a reason to keep them on the shortlist for investment consideration.Disclaimers: Shore Thing Media, LLC.

She did not provide further details +about reasons for the delay.Starliner's debut crewed mission, which will carry commander +Butch Wilmore and pilot Suni Williams, to the International +Space Station will be a crucial moment for Boeing's space unit. +It represents the spacecraft's final testflight before joining +rival SpaceX's Crew Dragon capsule as the second NASA-approved +ride to orbit.Steve Stich, head of NASA's Commercial Crew Program, said in +an interview with Reuters before the delay was announced that +the certification process for the spacecraft had taken "a little +longer than we expected" and was "a whole lotta work."A successful 10-day test mission with Starliner docked to +the space station, an orbital research lab some 250 miles high +in Earth's orbit, would mark a crucial milestone. Boeing has +struggled to compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX in the nascent +market for private astronaut flights.Finding a new launch date after April is complicated by +heavy traffic at the space station over the next few months and +a tight schedule for Starliner's launch provider, the +Boeing-Lockheed joint venture United Launch Alliance, +Boeing and NASA officials have said.The delay comes as Boeing and NASA performed extra testing +on several areas of the spacecraft.Boeing software engineers are running tests with Starliner's +manual flight system used as a backup in case the spacecraft's +automated flight software fails, Stich said.A Boeing spokesman said the focus for that testing is for +"added redundancy in cases of emergency."Deliberations about mission-critical lithium ion batteries +and the low chance they overheat while the spacecraft is docked +to the station also took more time than expected, Stich said.In a recent pre-flight technical meeting with Boeing and +NASA officials, the space station's chief safety officer and +representatives from NASA's astronaut office disagreed with +Boeing's plans to proceed with the mission citing concerns over +the batteries, according to a person who attended the meetings.But those NASA officials eventually agreed with Boeing and +others at the federal space agency that the chances of a battery +mishap that would endanger the crew were low, said the person +who requested anonymity to discuss preflight deliberations.Boeing also is weighing battery redesigns and a plan to add +shielding in case one overheats, Stich said. SpaceX, which has +already flown seven crewed missions for NASA since 2020, +redesigned its spacecraft's batteries at one point, he said."Of course, they have the luxury of having a lot of battery +expertise at Tesla," Stich said, referring to the +electric carmaker Musk leads.Boeing in a statement said on Wednesday it has had no issues +with Starliner's batteries during tests."Boeing has conducted more than a dozen Starliner +battery thermal runaway tests, stressing the battery cells +beyond their intended limit. No issue has surfaced," the company +said.Stich acknowledged there had been "a little disagreement" +during the meetings over how a potential failure of one of the +battery's cells could spread to other cells.

The city-state's bid to stop the purchase of combustion-engine cars from 2030 has bumped up against an entrenched love of supercars, ultra-luxury rides and buyers with enough income to keep them in one of the most expensive places in the world to own a car.Singapore's target of phasing out combustion car sales by 2030 puts it in a small group of countries with that near-term goal, including Iceland, Sweden and the Netherlands, but sales of electric cars in those markets have picked up faster.The Singapore government has been pushing electric vehicles (EVs) for two years, offering incentives of up to S$45,000 and expanding the charging network, but take-up by individual buyers will need to vastly accelerate to hit the target. EV made up almost 12% of all car sales in Singapore last year, up from almost 4% in 2021, according to the Land Transport Authority. Still, EVs represented just 1% of cars on the road, a Reuters analysis of ownership data found. By comparison, combustion sports cars in a city where the Formula 1 Grand Prix is one of the biggest events of the year made up 1.65% of the almost 653,000 registered vehicles.In Singapore, a small island with an extensive public transport system, only about 12 cars are owned per 100 people. That compares to 9 per 100 in Hong Kong and 82 in the U.S.One factor is price: it costs at least S$88,000 for the right to own a small car for a decade, excluding the vehicle's cost in Singapore, a system that has driven luxury sales.Over the past decade, the number of Ferraris in Singapore has grown by 67% and Lamborghinis by 38%. The number of McLarens has grown more than five-fold to 180 since 2012, the data shows. There are almost five times more Porsches on the road than Teslas."Basically, the entire market has moved upscale," said Singapore-based transport economist Walter Theseira. Singapore's preference for luxury and performance cars was a function of rising wealth among a cohort of residents while lower-income people were priced out car ownership, he added.HSBC estimates 13% of Singaporeans may be millionaires by 2030, the highest share in the world.PERFECT SHOWCASE FOR EVSA charity auction of 100 limited-edition "made in Singapore" Hyundai Ioniq 5s earlier this year managed to sell only half of the special-edition EVs embossed with the city's Merlion mascot. Hyundai said it was "encouraged to see the result, considering the unfamiliarity and newness" of the EV, but declined to say how much the auction had raised. Markus Schuster, managing director at Audi Singapore, believes EVs will constitute the majority of new car sales as early as 2025 or 2026 as more premium models like Audi's Q8 e-tron and Q4 e-tron hit the market. "As a showcase for EVs, the city is perfect," he said.Singapore drivers average just 30 km a day and do not have the same kind of "range anxiety" as drivers in the U.S. and Europe, Schuster added. The government plans to build 60,000 charging points by 2030, up from 1,600 now, which Schuster believes will be a tipping point to achieve the 2030 target.Goh, the McLaren owner, is already an EV convert. He loves that he doesn't have to keep the engine running on school pick-ups and that the cost for charging his Tesla Model 3 last year was under S$700 for 11,000 km of driving. "For a daily driver, I wouldn't go back to a normal petrol car," he said. But Goh is keeping his McLaren for now so he can enjoy the car's performance on a race track he visits in Malaysia. "I like technology and I find supercars, especially McLarens, it's like taking technology and art and putting it together," he said.($1 = 1.3264 Singapore dollars) (Reporting by Xinghui Kok; additional reporting by Kevin Krolicki; Editing by Jamie Freed)By Xinghui Kok \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/China Market Regulator To Recall 2,649 Imported Tesla Model S Vehicles.txt b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/China Market Regulator To Recall 2,649 Imported Tesla Model S Vehicles.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1758a50e9e5297144547324b671c54b3ba333dfd --- /dev/null +++ b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/China Market Regulator To Recall 2,649 Imported Tesla Model S Vehicles.txt @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +March 24 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc:* CHINA MARKET REGULATOR: TO RECALL 2,649 IMPORTED TESLA +MODEL S +VEHICLESSource text +(Reporting by Beijing newsroom) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/China market regulator: to recall 2,649 imported tesla model s v&...txt b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/China market regulator: to recall 2,649 imported tesla model s v&...txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ac42dff3c5b67f904771150aee93369e96bbeb88 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/China market regulator: to recall 2,649 imported tesla model s v&...txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +CHINA MARKET REGULATOR: TO RECALL 2,649 IMPORTED TESLA MODEL S VEHICLES \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/Lula's China trip to promote BYD takeover plan for Brazil Ford factory.txt b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/Lula's China trip to promote BYD takeover plan for Brazil Ford factory.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..f1bc3c6046af84ac371392d54958132a5468a3fe --- /dev/null +++ b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/Lula's China trip to promote BYD takeover plan for Brazil Ford factory.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +The deal hinges on a final agreement with Ford Motor Co, which still owns the plant in Bahia state despite halting production in Brazil in 2021, sources told Reuters.In October, BYD signed a letter of intent with the Bahia government signaling plans to invest 3 billion reais ($570 million) to set up electric vehicle production in the Camaçari industrial park, outside the state capital Salvador.

However, their "hands are tied" until they reach a final deal with Ford, the source added.Another source close to BYD said the negotiations are "in the final stages," working through "red tape" but with no major hurdles left.($1 = 5.2870 reais) (Reporting by Leticia Fucuchima and Lisandra Paraguassu; Additional reporting by Alberto Alerigi Jr.; Writing by Steven Grattan; Editing by Brad Haynes and Alistair Bell) \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/South Korea's LGES in talks with Toyota to supply EV batteries -CEO.txt b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/South Korea's LGES in talks with Toyota to supply EV batteries -CEO.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..947728fbe150a29e2da86e3ad6c267a9e800b250 --- /dev/null +++ b/news/TSLA/2023.03.24/South Korea's LGES in talks with Toyota to supply EV batteries -CEO.txt @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +When asked about the negotiation progress with Toyota, LGES Chief Executive Officer Kwon Young Soo said that it has been going well.

Fully compliant with new General Safety Regulations (GSR) and European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP) requirements, the solution enables higher performance and more cost-effective implementations in vehicles, to realize a collision-free future. As GSR and Euro NCAP requirements make advanced sensing features mandatory in new vehicles in Europe, automakers now require advanced processing chips that deliver the right performance without sacrificing critical system resources, such as power, size, weight, and cost. Smart Eye’s Automotive Interior Sensing AI combines its industry-leading Driver Monitoring System (DMS) software with Cabin Monitoring System (CMS) software to bring deep, human-centric insight into what is happening with all occupants inside of a vehicle. Smart Eye’s software solution supports the new AM62A7-Q1 vision processor and family of devices as well as the TDA4VM-Q1 automotive processor and family of devices for different use cases. Automakers are able to easily scale their designs and optimize performance from one car model to the next by reusing TI’s device IP and single software development kit across their vehicle line up. The AM62A7-Q1 device offers integrated ISP that can handle 5 MP at 30 frames per second, support for up to two RGB-IR cameras and a highly efficient 2 TOPS deep learning accelerator. With a high level of system integration, the TI systems on chip (SoCs) enable scalability and lower costs for advanced automotive platforms supporting multiple sensor modalities in centralized ECUs or stand-alone sensors, such as infrared cameras. Using these cameras, Smart Eye’s AI-based software detects various levels of driver distraction and drowsiness as well as the attention, emotions, and activities of all occupants in the vehicle, including the objects they use. This data lets automakers adapt safety measures and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in real-time – improving road safety and enhancing the mobility experience for the driver and all other occupants in a vehicle. “Smart Eye’s Interior Sensing AI is designed to run on a large variety of automotive SoCs,” said Martin Krantz, Founder and CEO of Smart Eye. “We are especially excited to collaborate with TI to combine their state-of-the-art chipsets with our deep learning expertise and deliver advanced safety and mobility features that run with the highest power efficiency and performance accuracy.” “The collaboration of TI with Smart Eye allows automakers to design best-in-class driver and occupant monitoring systems, increasing the overall safety of the vehicle,” said Sameer Wasson, vice president and general manager of Processors at TI. “By leveraging our new family of vision processors—coupled with Smart Eye’s advanced AI software—automakers are able to create a powerful interior sensing solution that supports multiple modalities and runs at the highest levels of reliability and efficiency.” Smart Eye’s Automotive Interior Sensing AI running on TI’s new vision processor family will be demonstrated by TI in hall 3A, booth 215 during the embedded world Exhibition & Conference in Nürnberg, Germany, on March 14-16, 2023. For more information, visit: https://smarteye.se/ About Smart EyeSmart Eye is the global leader in Human Insight AI, technology that understands, supports, and predicts human behavior in complex environments.

With innovative developments from Kilby Labs, TI's research and development labs for new concepts and breakthrough ideas, the new portfolio of stand-alone active EMI filter ICs can sense and cancel common-mode EMI by as much as 30 dB at frequencies between 100 kHz and 3 MHz in single- and three-phase AC power systems. This capability enables designers to reduce the size of chokes by 50%, compared to purely passive filter solutions, and meet stringent EMI requirements. For more information on TI's new power-supply filter ICs portfolio, see TI.com/AEF. +"To meet customer needs for higher performance and lower-cost systems, TI continues to advance in power innovations to cost-effectively address EMI design challenges," said Carsten Oppitz, general manager for switching regulators at TI.

AMKD is caused by variants of the APOL1 gene and affects approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. and Europe.

Reduction in proteinuria was observed early and continued throughout the 13-week treatment period. Results were consistent regardless of baseline proteinuria or background standard-of-care therapy. Inaxaplin was generally well tolerated in the study. The most common adverse events (occurring in >15% of subjects) were headache, back pain and nausea.

The primary endpoint of the study is reduction in the rate of decline of kidney function as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope in patients receiving inaxaplin compared to placebo after a minimum follow-up of approximately two years. The study is also designed to have a pre-planned interim analysis at Week 48 evaluating eGFR slope, supported by a percent change from baseline in proteinuria, in the inaxaplin arm versus placebo. If positive, the interim analysis may serve as the basis for Vertex to seek accelerated approval of VX-147 in the U.S. for patients with AMKD. Enrollment in the study is ongoing, with more than 100 sites open in the U.S. and internationally, with 250 planned sites in total globally. + +The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted inaxaplin Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for APOL1-mediated FSGS. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has also granted inaxaplin Priority Medicines (PRIME) and Orphan Drug designation for AMKD. + +About APOL1-Mediated Kidney Disease +APOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD) is a form of chronic kidney disease caused by variants in the APOL1 gene. Approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. and Europe have two APOL1 genetic variants and proteinuric kidney disease. People who inherit two variants in the APOL1 gene have a course of disease that is far more aggressive than in the absence of APOL1 genetic variants. Inherited APOL1 genetic variants cause kidney disease through a toxic gain of function, which leads to podocyte injury. This injury disrupts filtration, resulting in proteinuria and rapidly progressive kidney disease.

We are continuing to see our partners make strong progress across their clinical programs and are focused on providing them with the in-house manufacturing and regulatory support that they will require as they move towards commercialization. Our partnership pipeline remains robust and growing as we begin 2023 and we are excited to see our partners achieve upcoming milestones and move the cell therapy industry forward.'Operational HighlightsEnded the year with 18 SPL partnerships, with the addition of partnerships with Intima Bioscience, LG Chem, and Curamys in 2022. With the addition of an SPL partnership with Catamaran Bio in early 2023, the total number of partnerships now stands at 19. Vertex Pharmaceuticals will use MaxCyte's Flow Electroporation technology and ExPERT platform to support the gene-edited hemoglobinopathy cell therapy exa-cel, formerly known under CRISPR as CTX001. We entered into an SPL partnership with Vertex in 2022 for this transferred program. In addition, we retained our partnership with CRISPR therapeutics supporting CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies in immuno-oncology.As of December 31, 2022, our 18 active SPL partner agreements allowed for over 125 potential programs; 16 of which were active programs currently in the clinic (defined as programs with at least a cleared IND or equivalent). If all potential programs successfully progress through the clinic to commercial approval, we estimate aggregate potential to generate pre-commercial milestone payments to us of over $1.55 billion in addition to sales-based commercial revenue due to us under existing agreements. At the end of 2021, there were 15 SPL partnerships covering over 95 programs with total potential pre-commercial milestones exceeding $1.25 billion.As of December 31, 2022, we had over 600 instruments placed with customers, compared to over 500 instruments at the end of 2021.Launched the ExPERT branded VLx, our large-scale Flow Electroporation platform.Completed and occupied our new, 67,000 square foot, state of the art headquarters in Maryland's I-270 biotech corridor, significantly increasing our in-house manufacturing capacity, as well as research and process development lab space.Appointed Patrick J.

MaxCyte believes that EBITDA provides useful information to management and investors relating to its results of operations. The company's management uses this non-GAAP measure to compare the company's performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, and for budgeting and planning purposes. The company believes that the use of EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing the company's financial measures with other companies, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors, and that it allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision-making.Management does not consider EBITDA in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of EBITDA is that it excludes significant expenses that are required by GAAP to be recorded in the company's financial statements. In order to compensate for these limitations, management presents EBITDA together with GAAP results. Non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. A reconciliation table of net loss, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, to EBITDA is included at the end of this release. MaxCyte urges investors to review the reconciliation and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate the company's business.Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the 'safe harbor' provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including but not limited to, statements regarding expected total revenue growth, core business revenue growth and SPL program-related revenue for the year ending December 31, 2023, expansion of and revenue from our SPLs and the progression of our customers' programs into and through clinical trials.

Inaxaplin is an APOL1 inhibitor aimed at treating the underlying cause of AMKD.The manuscript presents results from the Phase 2 study of inaxaplin, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful mean reduction in proteinuria of 47.6% (95% CI: 60.0%, 31.3%) at 13 weeks compared to baseline, which was the primary endpoint of the study. Reduction in proteinuria was observed early and continued throughout the 13-week treatment period. Results were consistent regardless of baseline proteinuria or background standard-of-care therapy. Inaxaplin was generally well tolerated in the study. The most common adverse events (occurring in >15% of subjects) were headache, back pain and nausea. These results provide the first clinical evidence that an oral small molecule APOL1 inhibitor can decrease proteinuria in patients with AMKD.'Inaxaplin has the potential to be a breakthrough for people living with AMKD by addressing the underlying cause of this devastating disease,' said Carmen Bozic, M.D., Executive Vice President, Global Medicines Development and Medical Affairs, and Chief Medical Officer at Vertex. 'We look forward to exploring the full potential of this molecule in the ongoing Phase 2/3 pivotal trial and bringing this potential therapy to patients who are waiting.''The results from the Phase 2 inaxaplin study show real promise for patients suffering from AMKD,' said Glenn Chertow, M.D., M.P.H., Professor of Medicine, Stanford University School of Medicine and Chair of Vertex's APOL1 Program Steering Committee. 'APOL1-mediated kidney disease can progress swiftly to kidney failure, and the potential for inaxaplin to precisely target the underlying cause of AMKD should bring hope and excitement to persons living with AMKD and those of us who care for them.'About InaxaplinEarlier last year, Vertex initiated a pivotal Phase 2/3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to assess the impact of inaxaplin, on top of standard-of-care, on kidney function and proteinuria in people with AMKD. The primary endpoint of the study is reduction in the rate of decline of kidney function as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) slope in patients receiving inaxaplin compared to placebo after a minimum follow-up of approximately two years. The study is also designed to have a pre-planned interim analysis at Week 48 evaluating eGFR slope, supported by a percent change from baseline in proteinuria, in the inaxaplin arm versus placebo. If positive, the interim analysis may serve as the basis for Vertex to seek accelerated approval of VX-147 in the U.S. for patients with AMKD. Enrollment in the study is ongoing, with more than 100 sites open in the U.S. and internationally, with 250 planned sites in total globally.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently granted inaxaplin Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD) for APOL1-mediated FSGS. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has also granted inaxaplin Priority Medicines (PRIME) and Orphan Drug designation for AMKD.About APOL1-Mediated Kidney DiseaseAPOL1-mediated kidney disease (AMKD) is a form of chronic kidney disease caused by variants in the APOL1 gene. Approximately 100,000 people in the U.S. and Europe have two APOL1 genetic variants and proteinuric kidney disease. People who inherit two variants in the APOL1 gene have a course of disease that is far more aggressive than in the absence of APOL1 genetic variants. Inherited APOL1 genetic variants cause kidney disease through a toxic gain of function, which leads to podocyte injury. This injury disrupts filtration, resulting in proteinuria and rapidly progressive kidney disease. Progressive kidney disease can result in dialysis, kidney transplant or death.About VertexVertex is a global biotechnology company that invests in scientific innovation to create transformative medicines for people with serious diseases. The company has multiple approved medicines that treat the underlying cause of cystic fibrosis (CF) - a rare, life-threatening genetic disease - and has several ongoing clinical and research programs in CF. Beyond CF, Vertex has a robust clinical pipeline of investigational small molecule, cell and genetic therapies in other serious diseases where it has deep insight into causal human biology, including sickle cell disease, beta thalassemia, APOL1-mediated kidney disease, pain, type 1 diabetes and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.Founded in 1989 in Cambridge, Mass., Vertex's global headquarters is now located in Boston's Innovation District and its international headquarters is in London. Additionally, the company has research and development sites and commercial offices in North America, Europe, Australia and Latin America. Vertex is consistently recognized as one of the industry's top places to work, including 13 consecutive years on Science magazine's Top Employers list and one of Fortune's Best Workplaces in Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals and Best Workplaces for Women.Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including, without limitation, statements by Dr. Bozic and Dr. Chertow in this press release and statements regarding the potential benefits of inaxaplin, including the aim for it to treat the underlying cause of AMKD, the anticipated timelines and dosing associated with ongoing and future clinical trials, study design, including expectations on patient enrollment, expectations regarding efficacy endpoints, plans for interim evaluation, and plans for submission for regulatory approval in the U.S. While Vertex believes the forward-looking statements contained in this press release are accurate, these forward-looking statements represent the company's beliefs only as of the date of this press release and there are a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

(WBD), Discovery Communications, LLC (Discovery), and Warner Media, LLC (WM), and Discovery's Short-Term (ST) IDR of 'F3'.Fitch has also affirmed the 'BBB-' LT IDR of WarnerMedia Holdings, Inc. (WMH). Magallanes, Inc., the original issuer of debt undertaken to fund Discovery's merger with AT&T's WarnerMedia assets, changed its name to WMH after the merger's completion.Fitch has also affirmed the 'BBB-' senior unsecured ratings for instruments at Discovery and WMH, the 'BB+' senior unsecured ratings for instruments at Warner Media and the 'F3' commerical paper rating at Discovery.Fitch has also assigned a LT IDR of 'BBB-', ST IDR of 'F3' and a commerical paper rating of 'F3' to Discovery Communications Benelux B.V. (DCB), WBD's European issuer of commercial paper, and a 'BBB-' rating to WMH's issuance of senior unsecured notes due 2026. Finally, Fitch has affirmed and withdrawn the 'F3' ST IDR and commercial paper ratings of Magallanes.The ST IDR and CP ratings of Magallanes, Inc. are being withdrawn due to incorrect information.Key Rating DriversMerger Synergy Benefits: WBD increased its expected merger-related expense synergies to $4 billion on its 4Q22 conference call, up from its initial $3 billion estimate when the merger was announced. The synergies are driven primarily by operating efficiency improvements and corporate function and technology benefits. Fitch believes the cost synergies are largely attainable, and its rating case assumes a blend of expense realization success for each category, generating an aggregate realization of $3.6 billion by 2025. Neither Fitch nor the company included any revenue synergies in their calculations.Strong Brands: WBD offers a wide array of brands across multiple distribution platforms including Discovery, Food Channel, HGTV, TLC, Animal Planet, HBO, HBO Max and discovery+ (DTC offerings), CNN, TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network, and Warner Brothers Studios, substantial IP including DC Comics, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings and Friends, and a broad offering of news and sports content. The company also has a library of more than 200,000 content hours.Market Position: WBD is the world's largest pay-TV company, second largest global media company, and second largest U.S. television company in terms of aggregate share and reach across linear and digital platforms. Its suite of U.S. networks delivers almost 30% of all ad-supported linear U.S. aggregate television and nearly 25% of female viewers, with the top four female-skewing U.S. cable networks.DTC Offerings: DTC offerings will be critical components of content creators' and aggregators' long-term viability as MVPDs continue shedding subscribers. Areas of focus for DTC providers include growing subscribers fast enough to offset near-term costs content increases, elevated competitive threats, and ongoing linear subscriber declines. While most industry participants are expecting DTC-related losses to peak in 2023, they are experiencing increased pressure to accelerate towards profitability as a faster pace.WBD has shown an ability to drive its DTC offering toward profitability faster than the industry due to its focus on maximizing revenue and not just subscriber growth while simultaneously managing content costs. For 4Q 2022, yoy DTC losses declined more than $500 million to $217 million. Management expects its U.S. offerings to break even by 2024 and its global offerings to generate approximately $1 billion of EBITDA by 2025. WBD's leadership position across several affinity groups and scripted and unscripted content strength should continue to provide substantial benefits.Advertising Market: Fitch expects the current U.S. advertising recession will continue into 2023, leading to low-single-digit revenue declines, followed by a recovery into 2024 in line with historical trends. While Fitch expects WBD to navigate the current environment, it does remain concerned about linear media's long-term growth prospects.FCF Generation: Fitch anticipates FCF will improve over the rating horizon as significant near-term content spend growth should be offset by WBD's global linear and digital distribution platforms, increased scale and resultant expense synergies, and relatively low capital intensity. WBD's lower cost non-scripted content provides an offset to higher cost scripted content. Declining near-term DTC losses will also improve FCF generation.Capital Allocation: WBD's internal investments will continue to focus on the production and acquisition of content for distribution over multiple platforms. Although near-term DTC internal investments will continue to be heightened by infrastructure costs and content buildout requirements, the company has made significant progress toward profitability.Management restated their commitment to maintaining their investment-grade rating and Fitch expects the company to use FCF to prepay debt until the company reaches its 2.5x to 3x target leverage range. Fitch expects WBD's Fitch-calculated pro forma leverage will decline below its 4.0x negative rating trigger during 2024 due to debt repayment and EBITDA improvement. Fitch-calculated pro forma leverage declined to 4.5x at Dec. 31, 2022, down from 4.9x at the merger's April 2022 closing due to approximately $7 billion of debt repayments which more than offset a decline in EBITDA.Parent-Subsidiary Relationship: Fitch links and equalizes the IDRs of WBD, Discovery and WMH based on a strong subsidiary/weak parent approach and the IDRs of WMH and WM based on a strong parent/weak subsidiary approach.Warner Media, LLC's Structural Subordination: WM is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of WBD. It's approximately $1.5 billion of legacy debt is notched down from the IDR as it is structurally subordinated to all WMH and Discovery debt and is not guaranteed by WBD or any of its subsidiaries.Derivation SummaryWBD is well-positioned within its rating category with leading positions in scripted, reality-based, news, sports and documentary programming. Its content distribution is diversified across multiple linear and digital platforms and geographically. Despite being the second largest global media company, WBD still lacks the size and diversification of The Walt Disney Company (A-/Stable) and NBC Universal Media LLC (A-/Stable). Although WBD is larger than ViacomCBS Inc. (BBB/Stable), leverage is slightly higher.Key AssumptionsFitch's Key Assumptions Within the Rating Case for the IssuerFor FY2023, Fitch expects low single digit aggregate revenue growth. The studios segment is expected to grow mid-single digits due to theatrical release schedule at the studios. The network's decline of low single digits is due primarily to the advertising recession, as the expected improvement in 2H 2023 is unable to offset the high single digit declines in 1H 2023. DTC sees mid-single digit growth due to continued subscriber and advertising growth;Thereafter, aggregate revenues grow in the mid-single digits annually driven primarily by overall advertising improvement and continued steady DTC subscriber growth as the company expands into new international markets;Margins benefit from WBD's increased scale, top line improvement, Fitch's expectations of $3.6 billion of cost synergies (with most of the upfront cost incurred in 2022), and slowing DTC infrastructure investment;Capex remains flat in 2023 as the company finishes its global digital platform buildout and the capex intensity declines to the low 2% thereafter;Fitch-calculated annual FCF increases to approximately $8 billion by 2025.No M&A or share buybacks over the near term, in line with Discovery's behavior after the Scripps Network Interactive, Inc. acquisition. Fitch expects share buybacks to resume in 2025 once the company reaches its 2.5x to 3.0x leverage target;Cash balances and near-term FCF geared toward debt repayment, driving leverage below Fitch's negative sensitivities of 4.0x in 2024.RATING SENSITIVITIESFactors that could, individually or collectively, lead to positive rating action/upgrade:Fitch-calculated EBITDA Leverage sustained below 3.0x;A Fitch-calculated cash flow ratio (cash from operations minus capex/total debt with equity credit) sustained above 20%;Material viewership on platforms that will drive increased advertising and affiliate/subscription fees and enhance revenue diversity.Factors that could, individually or collectively, lead to negative rating action/downgrade:Weaker operating performance or discretionary management actions causing Fitch-calculated EBITDA Leverage to exceed 4.0x in the absence of a strong commitment to reduce leverage;A Fitch-calculated cash flow ratio sustained below 12.5%;Meaningful customer defections to alternative viewing platforms;FCF pressure from higher programming costs.Best/Worst Case Rating ScenarioInternational scale credit ratings of Non-Financial Corporate issuers have a best-case rating upgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a positive direction) of three notches over a three-year rating horizon; and a worst-case rating downgrade scenario (defined as the 99th percentile of rating transitions, measured in a negative direction) of four notches over three years. The complete span of best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings for all rating categories ranges from 'AAA' to 'D'. Best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings are based on historical performance. For more information about the methodology used to determine sector-specific best- and worst-case scenario credit ratings, visit https://www.fitchratings.com/site/re/10111579.Liquidity and Debt StructureAdequate Liquidity: As of Dec. 31, 2022, WBD had cash of $3.7 billion and full availability under its $6 billion unsecured revolver that matures in June 2026, with two 364-day extensions. Discovery and WarnerMedia are co-borrowers. Fitch excludes the $1.5 billion CP program (full availability) given the overlap with revolver availability and the 'F3' Short-Term IDR. Discovery and WarnerMedia are co-issuers under the CP facility.WBD has redeemable equity balances with put rights of $318 million, including $112 million that has been put to the company. The company is currently in the process of determining a fair market value and expects to finalize the transaction later in 2023.Fitch estimates WBD's pro forma closing total debt with equity credit to operating EBITDA was around 4.9x. However, WBD reiterated its desire to remain investment-grade after the merger and announced it was tightening its leverage target to 2.5x to 3.0x from its prior 3.0x to 3.5x. To insure adequate liquidity to fund near-term debt repayments, WBD temporarily paused share buybacks in line with its efforts to quickly delever after acquiring Scripps Network Interactive, Inc. in 2018. To facilitate its delevering efforts, the merger's financing was structured to include 25% prepayable debt and $2.8 billion due in 2024. Aggregate near-term maturities are $363 million remaining in 2023, $4.3 billion in 2024 and $3.1 billion in 2025.Issuer ProfileWBD, formed with the April 2022 merger of WarnerMedia and Discovery, Inc., is the second largest global media company offering significant scale of scripted and unscripted content across a broad range of internal and external distribution platforms.REFERENCES FOR SUBSTANTIALLY MATERIAL SOURCE CITED AS KEY DRIVER OF RATINGThe principal sources of information used in the analysis are described in the Applicable Criteria.ESG ConsiderationsUnless otherwise disclosed in this section, the highest level of ESG credit relevance is a score of '3'.

PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota regulators said Thursday they're monitoring the cleanup of a leak of 400,000 gallons of radioactive water from Xcel Energy's Monticello nuclear power plant, and the company said there's no danger to the public.“Xcel Energy took swift action to contain the leak to the plant site, which poses no health and safety risk to the local community or the environment,” the Minneapolis-based utility said in a statement.While Xcel reported the leak of water containing tritium to state and federal authorities in late November, the spill had not been made public before Thursday. State officials said they waited to get more information before going public with it.“We knew there was a presence of tritium in one monitoring well, however Xcel had not yet identified the source of the leak and its location,” Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesman Michael Rafferty said.“Now that we have all the information about where the leak occurred, how much was released into groundwater, and that contaminated groundwater had moved beyond the original location, we are sharing this information," he said, adding the water remains contained on Xcel's property and poses no immediate public health risk.The company said it notified the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the state on Nov. 22, the day after it confirmed the leak, which came from a pipe between two buildings. Since then, it has been pumping groundwater, storing and processing the contaminated water, which contains tritium levels below federal thresholds.“Ongoing monitoring from over two dozen on-site monitoring wells confirms that the leaked water is fully contained on-site and has not been detected beyond the facility or in any local drinking water,” the Xcel Energy statement said.When asked why Xcel Energy didn't notify the public earlier, the company said: “We understand the importance of quickly informing the communities we serve if a situation poses an immediate threat to health and safety. In this case, there was no such threat." The company said it focused on investigating the situation, containing the affected water and figuring out next steps. The Monticello plant is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis, upstream from the city on the Mississippi River.Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that occurs naturally in the environment and is a common by-product of nuclear plant operations. It emits a weak form of beta radiation that does not travel very far and cannot penetrate human skin, according to the NRC. A person who drank water from a spill would get only a low dose, the NRC says.The NRC says tritium spills happen from time to time at nuclear plants, but that it has repeatedly determined that they've either remained limited to the plant property or involved such low offsite levels that they didn't affect public health or safety. Xcel reported a small tritium leak at Monticello in 2009.Xcel said it has recovered about 25% of the spilled tritium so far, that recovery efforts will continue and that it will install a permanent solution this spring.“While this leak does not pose a risk to the public or the environment, we take this very seriously and are working to safely address the situation,” Chris Clark, president of Xcel Energy–Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, said in the statement. “We continue to gather and treat all potentially affected water while regularly monitoring nearby groundwater sources.” Xcel Energy is considering building above-ground storage tanks to store the contaminated water it recovers, and is considering options for the treatment, reuse, or final disposal of the collected tritium and water. State regulators will review the options the company selects, the MPCA said.Japan is preparing to release a massive amount of treated radioactive wastewater into the sea from the the triple reactor meltdowns 12 years ago at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. The water contains tritium and other radioactive contaminants.Copyright 2023 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Xcel officials said it believes it leaked about 400,000 gallons of the water containing tritium before it was stopped."We are working to ensure this cleanup is concluded as thoroughly as possible with minimal or no risk to drinking water supplies," Kirk Koudelka, MPCA assistant commissioner for land and strategic initiatives, said in a statement.According to Xcel, tritium is a compound that is commonly created in the operation of nuclear power plants that emits low levels of radiation."We have taken comprehensive measures to address this situation on-site at the plant," Chris Clark, president of Xcel Energy-Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota, said in a statement. "While this leak does not pose a risk to the public or the environment, we take this very seriously and are working to safely address the situation."We continue to gather and treat all potentially affected water while regularly monitoring nearby groundwater sources."Clark admitted that the tritium released from the plant was "well above" the 20,000 picocuries per liter limited by the Environmental Protection Agency for drinking water but those levels were reduced as the tritium diluted in groundwater."This does not present a public health or drinking water issue," Clark told the Minneapolis Star Tribune, adding that the plant is monitoring two dozen wells regularly.Copyright 2023 United Press International, Inc.

They said Xcel Energy voluntarily notified state agencies and reported the leak of tritium to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission soon after it was confirmed and that the leak of 400,000 gallons (1.5 million liters) of radioactive water never reached a threshold that would have required public notification. “This is something that we struggle with because there is such concern with anything that is nuclear,” said Victoria Mitlyng, a spokesperson with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. “The concern is very, very understandable. That is why I want to make extra clear the fact that the public in Minnesota, the people, the community near the plant, was not and is not in danger.”State officials said that while they knew of the leak in November, they waited to get more information before making a public announcement.“We knew there was a presence of tritium in one monitoring well, however Xcel had not yet identified the source of the leak and its location,” Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokesperson Michael Rafferty said Thursday. “Now that we have all the information about where the leak occurred, how much was released into groundwater and that contaminated groundwater had moved beyond the original location, we are sharing this information." Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that occurs naturally in the environment and is a common by-product of nuclear plant operations. It emits a weak form of beta radiation that does not travel very far and cannot penetrate human skin, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety with the Union of Concerned Scientists, said a significant health risk would only occur if people consumed fairly high amounts of tritium. That risk is contained if the plume stays on the company’s site, which Xcel Energy and Minnesota officials said is the case. If regulatory officials are sure it didn’t move off site, people shouldn’t have to worry about their safety, he said, adding that companies usually take action when onsite monitoring wells detect elevated levels of contaminants like tritium. Mitlyng said there's no official requirement for nuclear plants to report all tritium leaks to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Instead, Xcel Energy had previously agreed to report certain tritium leaks to the state. When Xcel Energy shares information with the state, it also shares it with the commission.The commission posted a notification about the leak on its website Nov. 23, noting that the plant reported it to the state a day earlier. The report classified the leak as a nonemergency. The notice said the source of the tritium was being investigated at that time. Beyond that, there was no widespread notification to the public before Thursday.Rafferty said disclosure requirements fall to the facility, and state agencies would have notified residents immediately had there been an imminent threat to health and the environment. Rafferty said the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency decided to share information about its role overseeing the cleanup now “because we have more details about the location and potential movement of the contamination, steps being taken to control the plume and plans for remediation including short-term storage of contaminated water.”Mitlyng said there is no pathway for the tritium to get into drinking water. The facility has groundwater monitoring wells in concentric circles, and plant employees can track the progress of contaminants by looking at which wells detect higher amounts. There are Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors on site too, watching over the response.The company said the leak came from a pipe between two buildings. Xcel said it has recovered about 25% of the spilled tritium so far, that recovery efforts will continue and that it will install a permanent solution this spring. Xcel is considering building above-ground storage tanks for the contaminated water it recovers and is considering options for the treatment, reuse or final disposal of the collected tritium and water. State regulators will review the options the company selects, the state Pollution Control Agency said.The regulatory commission said tritium spills happen from time to time at nuclear plants, but they’ve either been limited to plant properties or involved such low offsite levels that they didn’t impact public health. Xcel Energy reported a small tritium leak at Monticello in 2009.The Monticello plant is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis, upstream from the city on the Mississippi River.Shelby Burma, who lives minutes from the site of the spill, said the news — coming weeks after a train derailment on the Ohio-Pennsylvania border left lingering concerns about contaminated air, soil and groundwater — makes her worry about an increasing amount of chemicals in the environment.“I think it’s pretty alarming that they did not notify the public right away,” Burma said. “They said it won’t cause any harm, but that’s hard to believe when they waited how long to go public with it.”___Phillis reported from New York City, Biraben from Pierre, South Dakota.

The solution was designed to prevent new tritium from reaching the groundwater until installation of a replacement pipe during a regularly scheduled outage in mid-April, the company said.However, monitoring equipment indicated Wednesday that a small amount of new water from the original leak had reached the groundwater.

Here is what's on the radar of our editors for the morning of March 24 ...What we are watching in Canada ...Canada's restaurant industry is bracing for the biggest jump in the country's alcohol excise duty in more than 40 years, spurring warnings the tax hike could force some bars and restaurants out of business."Any increase at this very vulnerable time for our industry is just another blow while we're down," said Brenda O’Reilly, the owner of multiple restaurants and a brewery in St. John's, N.L."It's like death by a thousand cuts."Bar and eatery operators across Canada have endured lockdowns, labour shortages, supply chain mayhem and soaring costs for everything from payroll to cooking oil. Rising inflation has also softened demand as some consumers stay home to save money."Many of us haven't recovered from the pandemic and now they want to raise this tax," she said. "It's hard to get blood out of a turnip. We'll see more restaurant closures if this goes ahead."The federal beverage alcohol duty is set to increase 6.3 per cent on April 1.Alcohol excise duties are imposed at the manufacturing level and adjusted annually based on inflation.While the duty is separate from provincial liquor board fees and sales taxes, it ultimately filters down to higher prices for consumers, said CJ Hélie, the president of Beer Canada.The automatic annual tax increase is a long-standing irritant for the beverage industry, but was "digestible" when inflation was around two per cent, Hélie said.But this year's adjustment is more than triple the usual increase and should be reconsidered given the state of the industry, he said.At the retail level, the higher alcohol duty is expected to range from about penny on a can of beer to much more on a bottle of spirits.The Liquor Control Board of Ontario says a 750 ml bottle or a six-pack of beer may increase by about five to 10 cents, while a bottle of hard alcohol could increase by as much as 70 cents.---Also this ...The pomp and circumstance of a presidential visit will give way today to a series of talks about green energy, migration and Haiti, as U.S. President Joe Biden heads to Parliament Hill.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is scheduled to greet Biden late Friday morning for a welcoming ceremony at West Block.Dignitaries from the House of Commons and Senate, including the Speakers from each chamber and the leaders of each elected party and most Senate groups, are set to join them.Biden and Trudeau plan to then have a bilateral meeting in the Prime Minister's Office.That is to be followed by an extended chat between Biden and senior Trudeau cabinet ministers in the room where they typically craft major policy decisions.

Analysts were skeptical that the device presents a major new threat, but the test underlines the North's commitment to raising nuclear threats.The test this week came as the United States reportedly planned to deploy aircraft carrier strike groups and other advanced assets to waters off the Korean Peninsula. Military tensions are at a high point as the pace of both North Korean weapons tests and U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises has accelerated in the past year in a cycle of tit-for-tat responses.Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency said the new weapon, which can be deployed from the coast or towed by surface ships, is built to "stealthily infiltrate into operational waters and make a super-scale radioactive tsunami through an underwater explosion to destroy naval strike groups and major operational ports of the enemy.''The North Korean report came hours before South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol pledged to make North Korea pay for its "reckless provocations'' as he attended a remembrance service honouring 55 South Korean troops killed during major clashes with the North near their western sea border in past years.The testing of the purported "nuclear underwater attack drone'' was part of a three-day exercise that simulated nuclear attacks on unspecified South Korean targets, which also included cruise missile launches on Wednesday.KCNA said that the drills were supervised by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who condemned the U.S.-South Korean drills as invasion rehearsals and vowed to make his rivals "plunge into despair.''The drone is named "Haeil,'' a Korean word meaning tidal waves or tsunamis. The North's official Rodong Sinmun newspaper published photos of Kim smiling next to a large torpedo-shaped object at an unspecified indoor facility, but didn't identify it.---On this day in 1975 ...The beaver became Canada's official symbol.---In entertainment ...PARK CITY, Utah _ Gwyneth Paltrow and the man who broke four ribs after the two collided at a Utah ski resort seven years ago are both expected to testify on Friday in a trial over his claims that the movie star's recklessness caused his concussion and lasting physical injuries.Paltrow and Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist suing her, are expected to answer questions about the crash as their attorneys jostle to convince the 10-member jury who was responsible for the collision and who had the right of way as the skier farther downhill. Paltrow claims Sanderson was responsible for the crash.In a trial that Judge Kent Holmberg and attorneys for both parties have agreed will last eight days, with each side getting four to call witnesses, Friday marks the final day that Sanderson's attorneys can compel Paltrow to testify. Next week, Paltrow's team is expected to call medical experts, ski instructors and her two children, Moses and Apple.The proceedings have delved deep into the 76-year-old Sanderson's medical history and personality quirks, with attorneys questioning whether his deteriorating health and estranged relationships stemmed from the collision or more innate phenomenon, like aging or anger problems.Sanderson claims Paltrow recklessly crashed into him while the two were skiing on a beginner run at Deer Valley Resort, breaking his ribs and causing a concussion. He is seeking "more than $300,000.'' Paltrow has countersued for $1 and attorney fees.Lawyers for Paltrow, an actor-turned-lifestyle influencer, spent much of Thursday raising questions about Sanderson's mentions of her wealth and celebrity as well as his "obsession'' with the lawsuit.The first three days of the trial through Thursday featured testimony from medical experts, Sanderson's personal doctor, a ski companion and his daughter, who said she noticed post-concussion symptoms less than a year after the accident and realized something had gone terribly wrong.Paltrow's attorneys have cast doubt on Sanderson's medical experts and asked about whether his prior remarks suggest the lawsuit could be an attempt to exploit her fame and celebrity. Her lawyers Thursday asked Sanderson's daughter whether her father thought it was "cool'' to collide with a celebrity like Paltrow, the Oscar-winning star of "Shakespeare in Love'' and founder-CEO of lifestyle brand, Goop.---Did you see this?OTTAWA _ The Prime Minister's Office says Justin Trudeau and his wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau, stayed in a $6,000 per night hotel suite while attending the funeral for Queen Elizabeth II.The stay at the Corinthia London hotel became the subject of public debate last fall when media honed in on the details of the $400,000 trip, after obtaining documents through access-to-information requests.But Trudeau's office and Global Affairs Canada did not respond to questions last month about who stayed in the expensive river suite, which features a butler service.Opposition MPs on the government operations committee asked for a copy of all receipts and invoices associated with the trip last month.The room was booked on Sept. 9, one day after the Queen's death, for Sept. 15 to 20.In a statement, the Prime Minister's Office says hotel prices surged significantly ahead of the funeral, and many London hotels were sold out as 500 heads of state and their delegations descended on the city.The hotel's website currently lists the suite at 5,154 British pounds per night, more than the 4,800 pounds the government was charged in September.A night in the river suite next month would come out to more than $8,000 at the current exchange rate.Documents released through access-to-information requests note that the booking was for a three-bed suite. The hotel's website says it has one king-sized bed but there are "connecting rooms available on request.''The prime minister and his wife were the only two who stayed in the suite, his office said.In November, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre peppered Trudeau with questions in the House of Commons about who stayed in the suite, but he didn't answer.---This report by The Canadian Press was first published March 24, 2023.© 2023 The Canadian Press.

(AP) — A Minnesota utility began shutting down a nuclear power plant near Minneapolis on Friday after discovering water containing a low level of radioactive material was leaking from a pipe for the second time. While the utility and health officials say it is not dangerous, the issue has prompted concerns among nearby residents and raised questions about aging pipelines.Xcel Energy discovered in November that about 400,000 gallons (1.5 million liters) of water containing tritium had leaked. The utility made a temporary fix but learned this week that hundreds more gallons of tritium-laced water leaked, leading to the shutdown decision.After the plant cools over the next few days, workers will cut out the leaking pipe, which is over 50 years old, said Chris Clark, Xcel Energy's president. The utility will then have the pipe analyzed in hopes of preventing future leaks, he said.“We could have continued to safely operate the plant and simply repair the catchment, but then, of course, there is always a risk that it would spill over again and have more tritium enter the groundwater," Clark told reporters near the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northwest of Minneapolis. “We didn't want to take that chance, so we're bringing the plant down.”Edwin Lyman, director of nuclear power safety with the Union of Concerned Scientists, said the fact there was a second tritium leak “shines a light on the problem of maintaining aging pipelines” underground at older nuclear plants.The temporary closure could be out of an abundance of caution, “or it could be a sign they don’t know how bad the problem is, and they need to do a deep dive to find out what’s going on,’’ he said.Clark said the tritium isn't a risk to drinking water in Monticello or the nearby city of Becker, saying the cities take their water from different areas of the Mississippi River. Even if the tritium reached the river, which Clark assured wouldn't happen, it would dissipate within a few yards, he said.Clark said the spill had not left the utility’s property.The utility reported the initial leak to state and federal authorities in late November but didn't make it widely public until last week, raising questions about transparency and public health issues. State officials said they wanted to wait for more details before sharing information widely. Criticism about the delay played a role in Xcel's decision to hold a public information session Friday.Tritium is a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that occurs naturally and is a common byproduct of nuclear plant operations. It emits a weak form of beta radiation that does not travel far and cannot penetrate human skin, according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.Cindy Remick, of Becker, attended Friday's information session and said she still has concerns that nearby residents, especially those who rely on well water, will be safe. Remick also worries about whether the radioactive material could hurt wildlife.“We have a very large population here of eagles, and I would like to make sure they're not impacted,” Remick said. “Minnesota is known for our wildlife, and if that (tritium) escapes their plant into the Mississippi, that could be very damaging.”Tyler Abayare, who was fishing at the Mississippi River near the plant, said he’s been coming to the river every day for five years and usually sees about 15 to 20 others fishing as well.“Typically this time of year, there’s a lot of families that come out and fish with their children," he said. "Now, after the media released what happened, there’s not a soul in sight, and it just takes away from the recreation and passion of fishing.” Abayare said he doesn’t believe that the Mississippi River is safe. He doesn’t eat fish he catches and no longer ties his line with his teeth to avoid getting sick.Nuclear Regulatory Commission inspectors are monitoring the shutdown and repairs, said Victoria Mitlyng, a spokesperson for the agency. She said in a statement the leak “does not present a safety challenge to the public, to drinking water supplies, the plant or the environment.” The leak also did not exceed any agency limits.Clark said Xcel Energy already had planned to shut down the plant April 15 for nearly a month for refueling, and it wasn't clear if it would immediately reopen after the leak is fixed.Clark said the leaking pipe is part of the original plant, which opened in 1971. Xcel has applied to extend its operating license at Monticello through 2050. “We want to inventory the age of everything in the plant and be sure we're dealing with whatever we need to update,” he said.Tim Judson, executive director of the Nuclear Information and Resource Service, a group that opposes nuclear power, said the second leak “is obviously concerning" and that public worries about possible health risks are exacerbated by the recent toxic train derailment in Ohio, where residents remain concerned about possible health effects despite government pledges that air and water are safe.“People are seeing what happened in Ohio, and they are distrustful of the government response,’’ Judson said.___Daly reported from Washington.

There were 1,434 video reviews last season that included 1,261 team challenges with 50.2% leading to overturned calls.Until now, the on-field crew chief listened to the replay umpire in New York with audio only, joined by the umpire who made the initial call if different from the crew chief. The umps walked over to the side of the field through 2013 to listen on a headset, then from 2014-21 an attendant brought out a headset to the field for them. Last year, umps switched to a wireless belt pack and MLB for the first time allowed then to announce replays and decisions over ballpark public address systems.On-field umps this year will have 12.9-inch iPad Pro tablets brought out to them by a technician. They will be connected to the Zoom contact center and the replay operations center so they can see what replay is being viewed. The replay umpire still gets the final call."You’ll be able to see who’s in the chair, who might be with that person, what plays they’re looking at, and be able to pair a visual interaction with the traditional audio interaction that they have discussing the call in the field,” MLB Chief Operations and Strategy Officer Chris Marinak said.A limited number of broadcasts will have access to the Zoom videos being seen by the umps: Apple TV+ and MLB Network Showcase telecasts. Marinak said the new technology could become available for postseason telecasts, and ballpark videoboards will have access to the Zoom views on the telecasts — which will have the company's branding.Zoom also will be used by MLB during the first day of the amateur draft in Seattle on July 9. It’s too early to determine whether Zoom can be incorporated into robot plate umpires, the automated ball-strike system being tested throughout Triple-A this season.“That whole ecosystem is open for innovation and experimentation,” Marinak said. “We’re absolutely going to try things out and see what sticks. For ABS, I think it’s too early to say that we’re settled on one particular process and technology in the long-run. We’re still I think doing a lot of experimentation and open to really anything as we try things out at the minor league level.”Zoom, launched in 2011, was increasingly used by MLB teams during the pandemic. For much of 2021 and ’22, Zoom replaced in-person media availabilities for players and managers.“They’ve been a customer for many years utilizing our meetings, our rooms our phone technology and then deeper integrations as we know over the past few years, the way in which people have leveraged video has really evolved,” said Janine Pelosi, Zoom’s chief marketing officer. “What I think it’s going to do is add that technology where it’s not getting in the way of the game. I think that that’s critical. And it’s going to bring the fans into the experience.”___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports© 2023 The Canadian Press.

(NASDAQ: ZS), the leader in cloud security, today announced enhancements to Zscaler Posture Control™, strengthening its cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP) capabilities with data loss prevention (DLP) and ThreatLabz threat intelligence powered by the world’s largest security cloud.Integrating DLP and threat intelligence into Posture Control makes it the only CNAPP that delivers an accurate cloud risk view by correlating risk impact and likelihood using sensitive data discovery and security signals. Deep insights into how incidents will occur, and the resulting data exposure, give DevOps and security teams an unprecedented understanding of where to focus their limited resources. For example, an internet-facing container with a critical unpatched vulnerability represents a significant risk because attackers can exploit it to gain access to personally identifiable information (PII). With this new integration, organizations can reduce costs and resources while staying agile and proactive in securing sensitive data and secrets in the public cloud.Research shows that 78% of organizations use more than 50 cybersecurity products. Businesses were initially forced to either piece together point tools, like CSPM, CIEM and vulnerability scanning, or rely on loosely integrated solutions that required agent installation and did not correlate and prioritize findings. Recent solutions shifted to a streamlined, agentless deployment and introduced correlation, but the narrow focus on misconfigurations and unpatched vulnerabilities was only a small piece of the risk puzzle.Zscaler Posture Control, combined with its data protection and threat prevention capabilities, helps world-leading organizations more effectively correlate and prioritize risk across their entire cloud estate, reducing the time, effort and resources needed to piece together these risks.Zscaler Posture Control is a CNAPP solution that helps organizations build, deploy and run secure cloud applications. Launched in 2022, it presents a unified approach to understanding, prioritizing and remediating security risks in public cloud environments. With the seamless integration of Zscaler DLP, security, IT and DevOps teams can understand whether sensitive data such as PII, PHI and PCI are exposed as a result of cloud security weaknesses. These new innovations mean organizations can now realize even greater benefits from Zscaler Posture Control, including:“CNAPP platforms have started to gain wide popularity in recent years, but they all suffer from the same weakness: they do not help organizations understand sensitive data exposure,” said Willie Tejada, Senior Vice President at Zscaler. “Zscaler Data Protection technologies offer a deep understanding of sensitive data that we’ve built and developed over many years. By integrating these technologies, Zscaler gives organizations a view of cloud risk that security teams have never seen before.”These enhancements will be made available by June 2023.
