Connectivity Unleashed as MWC22 Barcelona Opens for Business

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 28: The world's largest and most influential connectivity event opens its doors today at the Fira Gran Via in Barcelona. MWC22 Barcelona will build on the success of last year, reflecting on a new era of connectivity and collaboration across the mobile industry. This week at MWC22 Barcelona will see many exciting announcements, including an automotive launch, with Fisker's unveiling of the new all-electric Ocean SUV. Monday's speaker line-up also delivers compelling keynotes from AT&T, China Mobile, China Telecom, China Unicom, Millicom, Telstra, Telefonica, Telia Company and Vodafone. Opening MWC22 Barcelona with a keynote address, Mats Granryd, Director General of GSMA, said: "We are delighted to see vibrancy return to Barcelona this year as we convene, collaborate and do business. This edition of MWC provides a collective opportunity to showcase how the digital ecosystem transforms lives and supports global recovery through the power of mobile technology." This year's theme, Connectivity Unleashed, showcases the power of mobile technology in our everyday lives and explores the ground-breaking technologies that will shape industry and society. Connectivity is now intelligently transforming industries as the world moves from simple connectivity to meaningful connectivity. With exceptional speakers lined up, exciting product launches, the launch of the GSMA's Global Mobile Economy Report 2022, and the all-new Industry City. "The doors are now open! Our attendees will experience more than 1500 exhibitors and have access to more than 1000 speakers, plus entrepreneurs, rebels, and people doing the extraordinary," said John Hoffman, CEO GSMA Ltd. "We are on a journey to digital everything, and MWC22 is the place to be to experience what that means." For the first time at MWC, live universal sign language interpretation (SLI) will be provided at all keynotes, Diversity4Tech sessions, and the Mobile for Development (M4D) session 'Reaching Underserved Population Segments' at 4YFN (Four Years From Now), the GSMA's leading start-up and innovation event. The SLI will be provided in person by partner DeafTawk. The interpretation has been made possible by funding DeafTawk secured from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and GSMA Innovation Fund for Assistive Tech. Global Mobile Economy Report 2022 confirms continued 5G momentum Launching today, the annual Global Mobile Economy Report reveals continued momentum in 5G adoption, with the total number of 5G connections expected to reach 1 billion in 2022, as usage grows rapidly in pioneer markets. The report highlights the mobile industry's instrumental role in extending connectivity to people worldwide. In the last decade, network infrastructure investment by operators shrunk the coverage gap from a third of the global population to just 6%, but there is more to be done. The adoption of mobile internet services has not kept pace with the expansion of network coverage. Despite living within the footprint of a mobile broadband network, 3.2 billion people, or 41% of the global population, are not using the mobile internet. The reasons for this usage gap vary by region and include lack of affordability and skills. These barriers to mobile internet adoption impact the most vulnerable segments of the population, including women, the elderly, people in rural areas, and persons with disabilities. Other key findings include: By the end of 2025, 5G will account for around a quarter of total mobile connections, and more than two in five people worldwide will live within reach of a 5G network. In 2021, mobile technologies and services generated $4.5 trillion of economic value, equating to 5% of global GDP. The report predicts that this will grow to $5 trillion in 2025. As 5G adoption accelerates in leading markets such as China, South Korea, and the US, 4G begins to decline. Globally, 4G adoption will account for 55% of total connections by 2025, down from a peak of 58% in 2021. But 4G still has room to grow in most developing markets. For example, in Sub-Saharan Africa, 4G adoption is below a fifth of total connections. 5.3% billion people subscribed to mobile services, representing 67% of the global population, by the end of 2021. In a growing number of markets, most adults now own a mobile phone, meaning that future growth will come from younger populations taking out a mobile subscription for the first time. The report also highlights the vital role that mobile technology will play in accelerating progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) ahead of the UN's deadline in 2030. These include increasing access to education, healthcare and addressing poverty and inequality. Additionally, the report outlines a set of policy recommendations for achieving a resilient post-pandemic recovery. This involves investing in digital skills training, utilising public funds for connectivity, adopting a balanced approach to collecting revenues through taxes and fees in the mobile sector, and prioritising digital transformation in government services. The GSMA Ministerial Programme is back The GSMA Ministerial Programme welcomes more than 160 international delegations participating in this year's discussions to support the SDGs and other critical issues. Senior policymakers, regulators, industry leaders and government officials will discuss closing the digital gap, meeting global climate targets, building policies for a digital world, and maximising the potential of 5G. Accelerating industry collaboration and 5G transformation Industry City has opened its doors for the first time. Co-delivered with Knowledge Partner, Accenture the exhibit showcases demos from the FinTech, Manufacturing, and Automotive sectors. It also hosts a range of Summits covering robotics and smart mobility topics. Visitors to Industry City can also explore the GSMA Pavilion and the GSMA Foundry Forge, the go-to place for cross-industry collaboration and positive change. At the GSMA Foundry, attendees can see demos and learn about the latest projects, including an autonomous drone flight powered by AI and live-streamed over a 5G network. Addressing societal issues Championing greater diversity in the technology industry, the Diversity4Tech Summit also kicked off today and includes talks, panels, awards, and a roundtable to accelerate transformation and inclusion – inspiring attendees to demonstrate leadership on the issue. MWC22 Barcelona will, for the seventh year in a row, be a carbon-neutral event again – certified by AENOR International. Mobile was the first industry to commit to achieving net-zero by 2050, and GSMA's commitment extends to MWC22 Barcelona. Tomorrow's programme includes keynote sessions featuring Adam Selipsky, CEO, Amazon Web Services; Shuky Sheffer, President & CEO, Amdocs; Hon. Ms. Jessica Rosenworcel, Chairwoman, FCC; Guo Ping, Rotating Chairman, Huawei; Cher Wang, Chairperson & CEO, HTC; Cristiano Amon, President & CEO, Qualcomm; Pekka Lundmark, President & CEO, Nokia; and Prem Akkaraju, CEO, Weta Digital. About GSMA The GSMA is a global organisation unifying the mobile ecosystem to discover, develop and deliver innovation foundational to positive business environments and societal change. Our vision is to unlock the full power of connectivity so that people, industry, and society thrive. Representing mobile operators and organisations across the mobile ecosystem and adjacent industries, the GSMA delivers for its members across three broad pillars: Connectivity for Good, Industry Services and Solutions, and Outreach. This activity includes advancing policy, tackling today's biggest societal challenges, underpinning the technology and interoperability that make mobile work, and providing the world's largest platform to convene the mobile ecosystem at the MWC and M360 series of events.

World Lab Technologies Announces Its Latest Venture, Space Lab

SHERIDAN, Wyo., Feb. 28: World Lab Technologies – the investment fund founded by renowned Moldovan venture capitalist Alexandr Jucov – is proud to announce its latest venture, Space Lab. Under the leadership of Alexandr Jucov, World Lab Technologies (WLT) has mobilized large funds to invest in high-impact companies, technologies, and projects to create a more sustainable, equitable, and diverse future. Since 2013, these efforts have focused on the Blockchain & Artificial Intelligence, Renewable Energy, Infrastructure & Logistics, Health & Education, and Sports & Entertainment spaces, building international respect and recognition in the process. Now, with the launch of Space Lab, WLT is entering the space exploration sector. With Forbes estimating in 2021 that the total value of space-focused companies worldwide had exceeded $4 trillion, there is unquestionably rising interest in the area. Yet, current market leaders like Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin have not fully capitalized on the multitude of opportunities that space exploration presents, and, moreover, recent events – such as private space flights – have created negative public perception of their activities. Space Lab was founded to be different. "Without question, Humanity today faces daunting challenges, such as climate change, global health challenges, and economic inequality, to name a few," says Alexandr Jucov, the CEO and Founder of World Lab Technologies. "But with Space Lab, my latest venture, I hope to help unify Humanity through the exploration of space." Mr. Jucov added, "Whereas space exploration was once an exclusive domain left to a select number of governments, today, private companies are taking the lead. With enough capital and support, we know we can accomplish great things in the communications, space travel and management, and resource exploration spaces." About World Lab Technologies "World Lab Technologies, Inc. is committed to meeting the unprecedented challenges that the world currently faces. We believe that through our dedication to science, technology, and execution of Impact Projects, we can make positive, meaningful and practical change. We must start from a concrete and solid foundation and we have identified significant projects in CEE in which we believe such impact can be made with both short-term and long-term benefits. Our corporation was founded precisely based on our belief that we can work together to meet these changes and challenges and ultimately make a positive and profound difference." – Alexandr Jucov, Founder & CEO

Abusix Inc. to Take Over the Operation of Blocklist.de - A Free Intrusion Detection Intelligence Service

BOSTON and MUNICH, Feb. 28: Abusix, a network security company for mail security and abuse report handling, takes over blocklist.de to integrate it within its Abusix platform to further improve its data quality. Blocklist.de is based on the popular open-source intrusion prevention framework fail2ban, which is part of almost every Linux distribution in the market. It is widely used to protect systems from simple brute force attacks, by logging intrusion attempts on a variety of available services and blocking IPs based on too many authentication failures. "Blocklist.de, in addition to fail2ban, offers a way to share information about intrusion attempts with other users of the service to improve coverage," says Martin Schiftan, founder of blocklist.de. "In addition, we report those intrusion attempts back to the network operator in question for proper abuse management." Martin Schiftan started blocklist.de in 2006 and grew the service to several thousand users, processing hundreds of thousands of security events per day. While running multiple projects, Martin Schiftan realized that he could not prioritize every single project the same. As blocklist.de is already using Abusix's ContactDB and the reporting format XARF, the decision to ask Abusix to take over blocklist.de was set. "Having a similar mindset and sharing the same ideas about improving the internet, it was a pretty easy decision from our side to integrate blocklist.de into our Abusix services," states Tobias Knecht, founder and CEO of Abusix. For the time being, nothing will change for the existing blocklist.de user base. Within the next few months, Abusix is planning to integrate the blocklist.de services within its platform gradually, so that the existing userbase can benefit from even more lists and features. The Abusix Platform is an advanced data platform that collects security-focused data from thousands of internal and external sources. It processes, enriches, and vets this information and makes it available to a broad audience based on their use cases, such as abuse management, spam and traffic filtering, and many more. About Abusix Abusix provides the missing piece in today's network security environment that allows for quick and reliable mitigation of network abuse and other cyber threats. Hundreds of ISPs, Telcos, Cloud & Hosting providers, and Enterprises rely on Abusix to keep their networks secure and their users safe. For more information, visit www.abusix.com

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia , Feb. 28: Oriental Bank Plc., a new bank in Cambodia with a digital-first strategy, today announced that it has chosen global payment provider BPC to power its digital banking experiences. Cambodia has over $22 billion in currency circulation and digital literacy is on the rise. The UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and Pacific reports that 15.6 per cent of the population made or received digital payments during 2019, demonstrating the rapid increase in demands for digital infrastructure. The Southeast Asian nation's newest commercial bank aims to capture a sizeable market share of tech-savvy consumers as well as those who prefer brick-and-mortar banking experiences. This strategy will see Oriental Bank Plc. engaging in a 60 per cent digital – 40 per cent conventional banking approach. BPC SmartVista's platform will be used to power the digital banking experience from Know Your Customer onboarding, deposit account opening, and funds transfers. It will also be used to power seamless and secure end-to-end payment experiences, including QR codes, card issuing, digital loan applications, and other self-service banking channels such as ATM Driving Services. Datuk Phan Ying Tong, the Founder and MD of Oriental Bank Plc., said: "Oriental Bank is blending technology and the human touch to ensure that we can reach out to customers no matter what touchpoint they use. We selected BPC for their extensive understanding of the local market and their competitive speed in delivering a new bank from the ground up. With BPC, we are relying on a strong local partner that will embrace growth and help us scale." With the aim of delivering highly reliable, customer-centric financial products to Cambodia, Oriental Bank Plc. was attracted to the ease of partnering with BPC's next-generation P2P services that form part of the bank's ecosystem, including API connections to third parties for instant payment. It was also attracted to BPC's capability to extend the ecosystem further with added value services as the bank grows. Terry Paleologos, Managing Director APAC at BPC, commented: "BPC has a strong market share and presence in Cambodia with an established local team who are fully equipped to support clients and partners. The demand for a digital lifestyle is palpable; hence we see major transformation projects. However, building a neobank from the ground up is an even more exciting initiative as the foundation will bring digital-first experience to clients who demand it." He also added: "We are confident that with this partnership, both Oriental Bank and BPC are paving the path towards greatness, together." For over 25 years, BPC has been at the forefront of the digital revolution, enabling over 350 financial institutions in over 100 countries with state-of-the-art banking and payment solutions. Oriental Bank Plc. is Cambodia's newest commercial bank, aiming to fast-track the Cambodian financial service-scape into the digital era.

Caban Systems Unveils Monaco, New and Innovative Energy Management System for On-Grid Resilience

BURLINGAME, Calif., Feb. 28: Today, Caban Systems, Inc. ("Caban") a leader in the design and manufacture of software-enabled energy storage solutions for the telecommunications industry, announced the immediate availability of its Monaco Platform, an advanced energy management and storage system for telecom operators that require Battery-as-a-Service solutions for grid connected sites. The announcement was made at Mobile World Congress (MWC) Barcelona 2022, the largest industry event held annually in Barcelona, Spain and hosted by GSMA. The industry lacks effective energy management technologies for mobile sites, which has led to higher costs for operators. With Monaco, Caban is providing a vertically integrated, intelligent and maintenance-free energy platform that includes features such as peak shaving and smart charging. The solution is paired with the company's Continuo dashboard, an intuitive cloud-based portal that provides operators with round-the-clock monitoring and real-time control for the greatest possible efficiency and cost savings. Customers save on operating costs with Monaco through an innovative feature that allows the battery management system to charge during non-peak hours and distribute energy during peak hours, which can result in up to 20 percent savings on energy costs. Monaco's compact, modular design is a perfect fit for urban sites where space is at a premium. The energy management platform features high-density lithium-ion batteries and an integrated high efficiency thermal management system designed and manufactured in the United States, ensuring rapid deployability and strong quality control. "With the Monaco platform, clients receive all of Caban's industry-leading hardware and software technologies packaged into a more compact, energy efficient design," says Brian Pevear, Caban's CTO and co-founder. "It's a tremendous achievement that not only results in significant cost savings for users, but with our fully-integrated platform, installation times can be reduced to a few hours in most cases." Caban Systems offers turnkey clean energy solutions that replace fossil fuel generators and short lived lead-acid batteries. These solutions operate as a primary source of power for critical infrastructure in both remote and urban locales. The company's Energy-as-a-Service (EaaS) model dramatically reduces OPEX and increases reliability. Caban's zero-maintenance system has a life expectancy of more than 10 years, reducing operational costs on most telecom sites by more than 25 percent. Monaco is the most recent addition to Caban's increasingly broad range of products and services, including its flagship Enduro platform, a lithium-ion energy storage system designed to thrive in harsh environments, providing clean power as a primary or backup system with reliable uptime. With the energy management capabilities of Monaco, Caban Systems is well positioned to provide Battery-as-a-Service solutions for grid connections, which account for over 80% of all wireless network sites, including private networks and fixed network hubs. "Caban Systems' best-in-class lithium-ion technology has been proven across hundreds of sites with our Enduro Platform. Now, we are thrilled to launch Monaco's energy management system and extend the economic and energy efficient impact of our battery systems to more customers, globally," says Alexandra Rasch, Founder and CEO of Caban Systems. "At Caban, we help customers through the telecom industry's clean energy transition by facilitating Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3, GHG compliance protocols across their network." About Caban Systems Caban Systems, Inc. is an energy infrastructure provider, offering end-to-end solutions for some of the largest telecommunications companies in the world. Pioneering a best-in-class intelligent energy storage platform for the telecommunication infrastructure industry, Caban delivers modern infrastructure solutions to its customers, substantially reducing operational expenses and increasing uptime.

Founders of Avasant Global, TiE India Angels, Startup Iceland and Sungistix share their journeys on The INDUStry Show

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 27: The INDUStry Show, the widely distributed entrepreneurial talk show, announced the release of its February ‘22 episodes.

The INDUStry Show's alum controls global annual revenues upwards of $10B and employs more than 50,000 people. Kevin S. Parikh is the bestselling author of Digital Singularity - A Case for Humanity. Parikh is also the CEO & Chairman of Avasant, a global management consulting firm that negotiates over $20 billion in tech deals annually. “Leaders are propped up by the support of those that believe in us”, said Parikh on the show. “We are a fortuitous company, and our focus has been on understanding the nexus between technology and business. We're not an IT consultancy but a data-driven, business transformation company”, continues Parikh. Addressing the challenges and opportunities during the pandemic and beyond, Parikh added, “the omniverse is way beyond what Facebook is doing.” Most of Avasant’s customers tend to be Fortune 1000 companies, located in more than 50 countries around the world. Parikh and the Avasant Fellows are committed to fostering global change. Through the Avasant Foundation, Parikh is supporting women and youth empowerment, and sustainable development. “Our alum is a really diverse group of entrepreneurs with a truly global footprint and holistic perspective. I am constantly amazed at the massive impact our network has created across all sections of the society”, said Mohini Todkari of The INDUStry Show. Bala Kamallakharan is the founder of Startup Iceland - a grassroots initiative to build sustainable startup ecosystems in Iceland. Over the past decade, Bala has collaboratively and patiently created awareness around angel investing, startups as a career choice, and educating the community on the risks and rewards of startup incubation and investing.

Cross-border angel investments and talent hiring, and partnerships are at an all-time high.”, said Dr. Nitin Bajaj, host of The INDUStry Show.

Sharma has invested in more than 20 companies with a global footprint. He is also a regular on Horses Stable, the popular business funding reality TV show in India that is currently airing Season 3. “India, as a startup ecosystem is the world’s third-largest but, is deeply undervalued. I see significant innovation coming soon that is not just restricted to back office and services and will expand to manufacturing, enabling agriculture, ESG, and digital economy across rural India” Sharma said. “The unique combination of wisdom and hustle that entrepreneurs thrive on, is captured in our one line life lessons. These lessons are simple yet profound, and often life-changing. We have captured several hundred of these actionables on our website and other social channels to inspire, motivate, and most importantly, drive meaningful action”, said Nimisha Lotia of The INDUStry Show. Ravi Patel, co-founder, CEO of Sungistix, a leading third-party logistics (3PL), warehousing and fulfillment provider that works with several leading brands across various industries, emphasized “With the rapidly changing consumer behaviors, economy and disruptions in supply chains, the 3PL warehousing and fulfillment companies are increasingly becoming more critical for businesses looking to have their products delivered in the consumer's hands.” Veena Jetti of Vive Funds, and an alum of The INDUStry Show, recently acquired a Class B, 296-unit multifamily property in Buford, GA, “and several from our network invested”, Dr. Bajaj added.

Forex trade scams reach record-breaking figures: Cyber-Forensics.net urges to keep an eye on market activities

SOFIA, BULGARIA, February 27:The foreign exchange market is an over-the-counter marketplace that determines the exchange rates of various currencies globally. Given its ability to empower small bankers to large business organizations, the potential benefits of the forex market consistently attract new traders. And along with it, an unwanted set of clans: scammers. Cyber-Forensics.net, a cyber forensics service for online scam victims specializing in forensics recovery, notes that the forex exchange market’s high liquidity, market transparency, dynamic function, and all-time availability make it an advantageous adventure. The platform operates on a few restrictive rules, with no central bodies and no commission that allows fraudsters to run their fraudulent schemes freely. Peter Thompson, Fund recovery specialists at the firm, studied a high-profile forex trade scam involving a Florida-based trade group. When investigated, officials found the firm responsible for initiating a long-running fraud scheme between June 2013 and June 2020. Further probing by the Civil law enforcement revealed that the firm had cheated at least 220 customers and was charged for fraud and misappropriation of over $19 million forexes. Cases like these have attracted worldwide attention and given life lessons to traders looking to grow. However, Timothy Benson, chief analyst at the same firm, suggests not to take any decision without gaining insight into forex market activities. When interviewed, he gave some tips for traders to avoid falling into forex scams: How to Avoid Forex Scams? Chief analyst Timothy Benson says, “Investors can easily avoid forex-related fraudulent schemes by verifying a company’s or broker’s registration with Trade commissions before investing into their schemes.” If unregistered, the investors or individuals stay alert and avoid providing funds to such entities. A company’s registration status is usually available at available resources online. The platforms allow investors to research the background of industry professionals. Avoid Flashy Websites for Forex Trading: Remember, “all that glitters is not gold.” Therefore, it is wise to avoid going to flashy websites that offer atrocious rates of returns and promise enormous automatic benefits in no time. Never Underestimate Transparency in Forex Trading: Whenever considering any forex trade service, double-check the fees or commission charged by online brokers, get details of the market trends, and read about schemes correctly. Look for possible red flags like significant returns with guarantees, companies promising no-risk policy, etc. Never invest in any project at its face value. What Do Investors Need to Know Before Investing in Forex Trading? 1. Understand the business needs 2. Start small and be specific 3. Stick to the plan 4. Begin with the right mindset 5. Beware of existing scams and keep an eye on the forex market 6. Analyze market performance before investing 7. Choose a reliable forex broker How to Choose a Forex Brokerage Service? Two of the most important factors to consider before choosing the right broker are 1) Pricing and transaction expenses. With fierce competition among top brokers worldwide, Investors now have access to institutional-grading pricing with forex spreads (difference between broker’s sale rate and buy rate) as low as 0.0 pips at flat-rate. Some brokers may also facilitate flat rates with round-turn commission costs compared to standard accounts with higher spreads. Typically, it’s a good idea to examine the fluctuating spreads rates for the financial products the customers want to trade before they decide to hire a broker and set up a variable spread account type. Credible broker service can help with fast execution, minimum slippage, and a profitable trading strategy in the forex market. Another aspect to look for in a good forex broker is to ensure their 2) Financial regulations align with state-governed protocols. Also, consider the following points when researching a forex broker: ◉ Regulatory Compliance ◉ Currency Pairs Offered ◉ Account Type and features being offered ◉ Customer service ◉ Trading Platform being used ◉ The benefits What To Do If Scammed into a Forex Trade Scam? Cyber-Forensics.net’s fund recovery expert Timothy Benson has actively talked about what resorts forex trade victims need to deploy if they happen to be scammed. According to him, the best approach is to: 1. Report the matter to the appropriate authority. 2. Consult a brokerage firm. 3. Spread the word in the forex community about the prevalent scam to alert others. 4. Contact fund recovery services. Suppose the aim is to retrieve the lost funds in a forex scam, hiring leading fund recovery experts consistent with experienced lawyers. In that case, experts in dealing with forex frauds can initiate criminal actions against scammers. The agencies like Cyber-Forensics.net have earned an excellent reputation in the fund recovery process- a firm that also guides legal actions to be taken against scammers. The service also helps forex trade scam victims arrange a discussion with a team of international law practitioners.

Health Freedom Group Asks Court to Vacate Federal Travel Mask Mandate

SANDPOINT, ID, UNITED STATES, February 27: Health Freedom Defense Fund (HFDF) and individual plaintiffs filed a motion asking a federal court in Tampa, Florida to strike down the Biden administration’s federal mask mandate for airlines, interstate transportation, and travel hubs. (Case No. 8:21-cv-1693-KKM-AEP) Plaintiffs’ attorney, Brant Hadaway of Davillier Law Group (DLG), argues that while CDC does have the authority to abate sources of infection from animals and things, it does not have the statutory authority from Congress to require people to wear masks. To wit, the Supreme Court has ruled that the statute CDC relies on to claim this power only authorizes the CDC to isolate and destroy the disease itself. DOJ attorneys for CDC argue that masks are a form of sanitation and therefore fall under CDC’s authority but CDC’s own regulations show that “sanitation” doesn’t apply to people, and that masks are not “sanitation.” In a revelation that will likely stun most Americans, CDC relied on inconclusive data regarding the efficacy of masks absent a single controlled trial in the administrative record. Health Freedom Defense Fund president Leslie Manookian said, “I am shocked and outraged that CDC would issue a policy requiring Americans to cover their two and only airways on the basis of inconclusive data and not one single controlled trial in what can only be described as a blatant dereliction of their duty and responsibility to Americans.” In an earlier stipulation to the court, DOJ attorneys for CDC admitted that the federal government has never once fined, jailed, or other penalized a single individual for failing to wear a mask while traveling. The implication of this admission is clear - the federal government does not believe a law exists requiring America’s to mask while traveling so there is nothing to enforce. CDC relied on the same statute under which they claim authority to mandate masks to issue an eviction moratorium mandate and a conditional sailing order for the cruise industry. In both of those cases, courts rebuked CDC for usurping the law-making power and authority of Congress. Additionally, while CDC attempted to justify the mask mandate claiming their intention to prevent interstate spread, this argument never made sense as by the time the rule was enacted, COVID had already spread throughout the country. The CDC also failed to follow proper administrative procedures when it created the rule, not allowing for notice and comment and CDC failed to follow its own internal regulatory requirements.

Ukraine Conflict Could Exacerbate the Long-Term Shortage of Semiconductor Neon Supplies

USA, February 27: Although experts of SIA (Semiconductor Industry Association) asserted that there's no adding proof that the Russia-Ukraine conflict would immediately risk semiconductor supplies since there are abundant suits of raw materials and gases to choose from; the long-term disruption on semiconductor supply chain related to Neon gas and palladium remain uncertain. Ukraine and Russia are Prominent Exporters of Neon and Palladium Ukraine supplies over 90% of semiconductor neon gas for the U.S. and 40% of krypton and 30% of xenon over the world, which means a lot to the semiconductor industry. Neon gas is the key material of laser in the chip manufacturing process, especially Deep Ultraviolet Lithography (DUV) technology. The semiconductor exposure process requires mixing special gases such as neon, fluorine, argon, etc. Chipmakers have reduced neon usage by 25~50% by adjusting software logic and optimizing the purging process of the inflatable program. Despite this, neon and other gases still play an important role in semiconductor production. Both the krypton element and xenon element are extremely rare gas on the Earth. Used with argon, krypton is fundamental in improving brightness and extending the lifespan of fluorescent lights. While xenon element sees its uses as xenon lamps for photography, ruby lasers, and so on, and chemical compound xenon difluoride is generally applied to etch silicon CPU. At the same time, more than 45% of the palladium global supply used in sensors, memory, and other products comes from Russia. The fear of penalties on Russia has pushed up the price of these metals. Palladium has a current selling price of about US$2,700 per ounce, up more than 80% since mid-December. Palladium is utilized in a variety of applications ranging from vehicle exhaust systems to mobile phones to dentistry fillings. Nickel and copper costs, which are utilized in manufacturing and construction, have also been rising. Chinese Market and Chip Makers' Reactions towards Ukraine Conflict Before the Russia-Ukraine crisis, neon prices have risen sharply. According to analysis, the price of neon gas (99.99%) in China has risen from 400 RMB/m2 in October 2021 to more than 1600 RMB/m2 at present. Ma Yinchuan, head of the CIGIA (China Industrial Gases Industry Association) stated that there is no serious shortage of China's inert gases, including neon, at the moment, but supplies will be tight and prices will rise, especially if countries such as Japan and South Korea increase neon imports from China amid European tensions, even though neon gas production can be improved through government mobilization if necessary. Although Ukraine is the world's largest producer of neon, ASML sources fewer than 20% of the gas it consumes from those countries, according to a spokeswoman on Wednesday. Besides the above news that dampens the optimism, it is believed that most chipmakers are well-prepared by diversifying supply sources since the US-China trade deadlock. Some companies even set up expanding sources sooner after the 2014 Crimea crisis during which the price of neon gas soared 20 times. Intel Corp claimed it did not expect any direct impact for sourcing raw materials for semiconductor supplies and so as the Taiwan chipmaker United Microelectronics Corp. However, TSMC, the world’s largest maker for contracts reject to comment at the moment. Ukraine Conflict Could Disrupt Semiconductor Shortage in Long-Term Experts believe that supply delays from a Russia-Ukraine war and any following sanctions are unlikely to halt global chip production. However, the disruptions may put a strain on capacity, particularly for certain smaller businesses. And they will almost certainly lead to an increase in semiconductor pricing, at a time when chips have already become more expensive due to abnormally strong demand and past COVID-19-related supply-chain interruptions.

Black History Month, a time to celebrate the return to Africa as well

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 27: The celebration of the Black History Month is an opportunity for the "Back To Kama" project's team to intensify their actions and promote the return of Africans and African descendants back to Africa (Kama.) Black History being rightfully celebrated throughout the United Stated, should highlight the hidden history of Africans and promote the great civilizations of their continent of origin. For Gbedia Dodo, PhD, leader of the "Back to Kama" project, "Black History Month shouldn't only be a celebration of achievements by African Americans and a time to recognize their central role in U.S. history, but it should also be a time to unveil and reconnect with our hidden and powerful history of Kama before its pillage and violation by europeans. True history teaches us that Kama had prestigious kingdoms and universities like the one of Timbuktu, way before universities emerged in Europe. We also now know that the art of writing, architecture, mathematics, medicine and more, also originated in Kama. Hence, Kama being the cradle of civilization is no longer debatable, and yet this truth needs to be widely known by the mainstream. "For 12 years, we have brought a vision on how the success of African Americans and of all African descendants worldwide can be multiplied if furthered on the African continent," claimed Dodo. "Our project wants to encourage all African nations to look at the economic and societal benefits of the return of the African diaspora and to not only offer them free visas and the rights to abode." As a result, these countries will be able to provide free education and free healthcare to their people, and even become leaders in the latest sciences and technologies such as biotechnology, nanotechnology, and online education," claimed Dodo. "Back To Kama" also encourages the welcoming of black prisoners freed from the US prison system. "For example, Canada and Australia were built on the import of European prisoners. African American ex-prisoners could be trained if needed in order to acquire business and entrepreneurship skills and contribute to the development of the countries welcoming them," concluded Dodo. The "Back to Kama" project was launched in 2009 by Rael, spiritual leader of the Raelian Movement, who said, "To save Humanity [from its self-destruction], we must first save Kama…" and saving Kama starts now with its sons and daughters from around the world making their way back home.

Knights of Columbus Makes Pledge to Ukraine, Sets Goal of Initial $2 Million in Aid

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb.27: The Knights of Columbus today announced a commitment of $1 million for immediate distribution to support Ukrainian refugees, including Ukrainian Knights and their families impacted by the recent Russian invasion of their country. The organization has also launched the Ukraine Solidarity Fund, an international fundraising campaign among its members that will match all funds raised up to an additional $500,000. In a message to Knights around the world, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly encouraged the organization's more than 2 million members to respond with continued prayers and material support. "The situation in Ukraine is dire and worsening. The people of Ukraine and our brother Knights in that nation need our help," the supreme knight wrote. The relief funding will be used to provide shelter, food, medical supplies, clothing and religious goods, as well as other humanitarian needs as identified, both directly in Ukraine and through refugee sites in Poland. The Knights will work with both the Latin and Greek Catholic Churches in Ukraine, with dioceses and K of C councils in Poland, and with international humanitarian aid agencies to address needs quickly and effectively. Should fundraising efforts exceed immediate needs, consideration will be given to assist widows and orphans of brother Knights killed as a result of military action, and for assistance in resettlement and rebuilding for communities displaced by conflict and war. In a video message to the more than 1,800 Knights of Columbus in Ukraine, Supreme Knight Kelly said, "In this time of intense danger, know that your brother Knights of Columbus around the world are praying for you, your families and all the people of Ukraine. We ask that our Lord protect you and your loved ones and restore peace in your land. We ask that he give you strength and courage to persevere."
