Asian Fund for Cancer Research Announces Inaugural BRACE Award Venture Competition Winner
Gastrointestinal Cancer Drug Developer Arbele Receives AFCR Investment Funding
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 8 April 2021 – Arbele has been selected as the winner of the Asian Fund for Cancer Research's (AFCR) inaugural BRACE Award Venture Competition, a first of its kind program for early stage oncology technology companies located in Asia or focused on cancers prevalent among Asian communities. As a result of its win, the Hong Kong-based company has received US$300,000 in AFCR investment.
Arbele's BRACE Award Venture Competition win is the result of a rigorous review and evaluation process led by two blue ribbon committees convened by AFCR. One committee, in fall 2020, judged the start-up and its tumor-fighting technology as among the strongest of eight semi-finalists in a 6 November event; and the other committee, in winter 2020/2021, determined the company as most likely to make a difference for cancer patients and produce a positive return on investment from among the prior-chosen finalists.
BRACE Award Venture Competition winners can apply AFCR's investment toward obtaining critical research data and pre-clinical results, as well as attract larger, follow-on investors. Such benefits give participating start-ups a much better chance of delivering technologies likely and able to benefit cancer patients. While future positive returns to AFCR on its US$300,000 investment will be applied by the non-profit organization toward its cancer research funding and education programming.
"The BRACE Award Venture Competition is making a real difference in funding not only early stage, risk-taking companies in Asia that are battling cancer, but also start-ups that are tackling Asia-prevalent forms of the disease," stated Arbele Chief Executive Officer John Luk, DMedSc. "Arbele's journey, including starting from invention at the University of Hong Kong and entering into clinical trials at Queen Mary Hospital, fits both criteria, and we look forward to continued partnership with AFCR."
"It was a pleasure to represent Arbele throughout the BRACE Award Venture Competition process," noted Chief Development Officer Dennis Wong, MD. "The program and its committees, investment and other benefits have already helped further develop our company and the application of our technology in the fight against cancer."
"With the BRACE Award Venture Competition and infusion of investment into its winner, AFCR aims to raise awareness of the importance of accelerating commercialization of cancer research innovations that could save patients' lives," said Asian Fund for Cancer Research Chief Executive Officer Sujuan Ba, Ph.D. "We also hope to build up critically needed ecosystems helping life sciences entrepreneurs throughout the Asia-Pacific region."
"The BRACE Award Venture Competition is an important addition to our region's cancer technology and biomedical industry environment, fostering ideas and approaches on the cutting edge of research," expressed AFCR Chairman of the Board Gary Wong, a partner of Hugill & Ip Solicitors.

Sr. Miriam Bannon, CCVI, Selected Project Manager of V Encuentro Youth/Adult Leadership Initiative (VEYYALI)
Home Blog Sr. Miriam Bannon, CCVI, Selected Project Manager of V Encuentro Youth/Adult Leadership Initiative (VEYYALI)
By Amormeus | Blog, Our Stories | 29 August, 2019 | 0
Miriam Bannon, CCVI, joints the USCCB Secretariat for Cultural Diversity as Project Manager of V Encuentro Youth and Young Adult Leadership Initiative (VEYYALI).
Washington DC: The USCCB Secretariat for Cultural Diversity in the Church has contracted Miriam Bannon, a Sister of Charity of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, as Project Manager of a post V Encuentro initiative. The project will develop and implement comprehensive guidelines for a nationally replicable model and methodology for leadership development and formation of emerging youth and young adult Hispanic leaders.
After receiving her M.Ed. and M.A. from Trinity College, Dublin, Miriam left Ireland inspired by Gandhi's invitation to live the change she wanted to see. Miriam believes a vision becomes reality when people embark on a journey together. For over 30 years, from the Sierra Tarahumara in the high plateau of Northern Mexico, to Mexico City, and finally to the US Midwestern heartland, Miriam has accompanied communities, a task she considers "akin to walking barefoot on sacred ground." The people taught her to hold steadfast to their hopes and dreams, to be consistent and faithful. They taught her solidarity, how to give and receive hospitality, and to share stories and resources.
Miriam brings over three decades of experience in education, pastoral ministry and leadership formation in Mexico and the US. From 2000 to 2011 her role in Instituto Cultural de Liderazgo en el Medioeste (ICLM) centered on developing practicum experiences for ministerial students, training mentors and establishing equivalencies for diocesan recognition leading toward certification in Hispanic Ministry. As a member of Federación de Institutos Pastorales (FIP), Miriam coordinated the development of an accreditation process for Hispanic Pastoral Institutes in the United States. More recently, she has worked in strategic pastoral planning in Mexico City and as Field Investigator for the Urban Pastoral Development Network in describing and analyzing new approaches to evangelization and ministry.
As Project Manager, Miriam will coordinate the approximately three-year development of a national project for leadership formation of Hispanic youth and adults. Phase I of this project will invite institutions and organizations to propose best practices in leadership formation. In Phase II, they will work together to construct the program and implement a pilot study. Collaborative pathways leading towards degree programs will be explored. Phase III will focus on expanding the program and further identifying alternatives for Hispanic leaders to have access to academic degrees in various institutions of higher education.

Australian government develops its own metrics and ranks NBN highly
Department of Communications has chosen to deny reality and impose a view of its own.
By Chris Duckett | November 27, 2020 -- 03:33 GMT (19:33 PST) | Topic: Networking
A year after NBN decided it didn't like the idea of speed tests as a broadband measurement, the viewpoint has spilled over to the Bureau of Communications, Arts and Regional Research (BCARR).
In the case of the BCARR, it has paid PricewaterhouseCoopers to develop metrics that are more suitable to it. On the hit list was tossing out perennial chart-toppers like South Korea and Singapore.
"No country is easily comparable to another. For example, by global standards, Australia is wealthy and highly urbanised, but our population is also spread across a vast landmass," the BCARR said.
"Our income and geography mean that Australia is more readily comparable with Canada than with city states like Singapore, or densely-populated countries such as the United Kingdom."
With Singapore on the outer, the list of comparable countries included a country only 17 places higher in a ranking of places by geographic size, Qatar. The other nations deemed worthy of comparison included Switzerland, Norway, Ireland, the United States, Denmark, Sweden, Austria, Finland, Germany, Belgium, Canada, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, New Zealand, Israel, France, Japan, and Italy.
Consequently, BCARR claims its analysis showed that Australia placed eighth out of 17 for the ranking of percentage of households able to access fixed broadband, but when the question changed to connections that could hit the 25Mbps-capable requirement imposed on NBN, Australia ranked first.
Once the bar is raised to 100Mbps, Australia is 10th.
After releasing its pair of so-called fact sheets, the BCARR said that it would follow up with more in the coming weeks. Two areas touched on that are currently without analysis are uptake of higher speeds plans and data usage.
Last year, in a report prepared by AlphaBeta for NBN, small countries were also tossed aside, and the report made a lot of complaints about various measures being biased against NBN, before switching to theoretical maximums.
"Australia's ranking would rise even further if the maximum technical capacity of the broadband technology were accounted for. In this case, Australia's ranking would rise as high as third compared to major economies," it said.
If we are going to engage in magical thinking, consider where Australia would rank if it remained on a 93% fibre-to-the-premises network -- the theoretical maximums would be sky high.

Mayor Bill de Blasio and Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito Announce Expansion Of New York City's Outreach and Engagement with Community Media
City is committed to making contact with this diverse sector a standard in planning and practice; new reporting methodology to be introduced to ensure robust effort
NEW YORK—Mayor Bill de Blasio and Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito today announced an expansion of New York City's outreach and engagement with community and ethnic media outlets across the five boroughs. Today's announcement includes the launch of an online directory of ethnic and community media for City employees to use in outreach and informational and paid campaign efforts, and a system to ensure accountability with the aim of having equitable communications across diverse ethnic, racial and geographic communities. The Mayor and Speaker will convene community-based journalists in the coming weeks to discuss these efforts.
Many New Yorkers turn to neighborhood, youth and ethnic media to get their news, frequently in languages other than English, and the de Blasio Administration is committed to providing equal access to information. Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito has advocated for proactive and consistent engagement of community media, and has dedicated resources and expertise in working with the Administration to ensure inclusion of diverse outlets.
"In the city of immigrants, no person should be denied access to vital services or information due to their language. Half of all New Yorkers speak a language other than English at home. Almost one-sixth of all NYC households – 1.8 million people – are proficient in languages that are not English. Today we are ensuring that the City speaks the language of our people," said Mayor Bill de Blasio.
"Government has a responsibility to engage diverse media equitably so that we can communicate with a wide range of constituents," said Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito. "I am pleased that we are raising the bar for the way agencies plan and execute their outreach, public service announcements and paid campaigns. By doing so, we move towards being a more inclusive city at all levels."
"The de Blasio Administration is committed to speaking the language of multilingual New Yorkers, and as part of this outreach we must also reach them in the media outlets that are an integral part of their day-to-day lives," said Nisha Agarwal, Commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs. "The Administration has also deepened its commitment to language access to ensure that information is made available to all New Yorkers by hiring an Executive Director at MOIA who works to implement citywide tools, training, and reporting mechanisms. 311 now also accepts complaints from New Yorkers who have experienced language barriers at City Agencies."
"The Ethnic and Community Media Directory will strengthen the effectiveness of communications efforts throughout the city," said Mindy Tarlow, Director of the Mayor's Office of Operations. "Now communications teams have a guide that will further ensure their message is heard across the five boroughs."
"The responsibility of ensuring that our communities have access to relevant news is shared by press and by government. This Council is interested in engaging community press sources in a real way and this commitment is memorialized in part by today's announcement. Without a doubt, we need to remain engaged about how we strengthen our relationships with community press and by extension, with the communities that they serve. I am proud to be witness to this important first step," said Council Member Carlos Menchaca, Chair of the Committee on Immigration.
"The ethnic and community press plays a crucial role in our city's diverse neighborhoods – especially to public school families who collectively speak more than 200 languages," said Maite Junco, NYC Department of Education Senior Advisor for External Communications. "These media outlets spread out across our city are vital vehicles to reach our families and I thank the Administration for providing communication professionals in city government with an online tool to help us reach every New Yorker regardless of their zip code or language they speak."
Historically, City Agencies' media outreach has focused primarily on English-language outlets, in spite of the fact that New York City is the ethnic media capital of the country – with hundreds of community and ethnic media outlets speaking dozens of languages. This trend has shifted under the de Blasio Administration, with the development of campaigns to inform all New Yorkers about IDNYC, Paid Sick Leave, and Pre-K For All, among other initiatives. Ethnic and community media were central to the outreach strategy, and the engagement and enrollment results clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of multilingual media outreach.
To ensure that engagement of community and ethnic media becomes standard citywide practice, MOIA has worked with the Mayor's Office of Operations, the City Hall Press Office, the City Council Speaker's Office and the CUNY School of Journalism to create an online directory of ethnic and community media. The directory is a database of more than 200 TV, radio, print and digital news outlets covering more than 30 languages. This directory will help City Agency communications staff identify the most effective ways of reaching their intended audiences through media outreach as well as public service announcements and paid media campaigns. For City Agencies, this resource will strengthen the Administration's communications reach to all corners of the five boroughs. In addition, City Agencies will report on an annual basis their advertising budgets alongside the budget spent on ethnic media outreach. This process will ensure that agencies are accountable and will measure communications efforts against metrics that gauge if outreach is equitable amongst different ethnic/racial and/or limited English proficient (LEP) communities.
"A significant portion of New Yorkers depend on ethnic and community media as a source of news and information. By providing City Agencies with this media resource, the City will better connect with immigrant communities across the five boroughs," said Jehangir Khattak, Co-Director of the Center for Community and Ethnic Media at the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
"Ethnic and community media play a critical role in reaching dozens of immigrant communities. As an organization, we work closely with a broad range of ethnic media, recognizing that they are lifelines for immigrants who learn about programs and policies that impact them in their own languages first," said Steve Choi, Executive Director of the New York Immigration Coalition, composed of over 200 community-based and immigrant direct service organizations, representing constituencies across New York State. "The Ethnic and Community Media Directory released by the Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs and the City Council Speaker will be a vital tool for city government, agencies, and community organizations to strengthen their connections to the reporters and journalists who are at the frontlines of immigrant issues and who will ensure that our communities are fully informed."

Mick Schumacher –
following his dream
A story about one of the most stunning young guns in Racing, pure passion, determination and the right pace to reach your goals
Pirelli owns a strong heritage in motorsports. For over 100 years the brand is committed on a global level in a bunch of series and championships. The company is currently involved as tyre supplier in Formula 1® and many GT- as well as single-seater series. And again and again motorsports writes outstanding stories fascinating and inspiring people worldwide.
One of the most exciting stories which is actually being closely followed by many people, is the impressive performance of Mick Schumacher. The young gun began his career in karting in 2008. Now he is aged 17 and drives this season for Prema Powerteam, one of Europe's leading international racing teams. He starts both in the Italian Formula 4 as well as the German ADAC Formula 4. The Formula 4 is an open-wheel racing car category intended for junior drivers. The category created by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) -the International sanctioning and administrative body for motorsport - as an entry-level category for young drivers, bridging the gap between karting and Formula 3. This year the Italian and the German competition come up with strong starting fields and very competitive racing. And both series are exclusively equipped by Pirelli. At the latest race at the Lausitzring Mick Schumacher already registered his second and third victories of the current German campaign. In the Italian championship he did win two races out of three at Misano and one further at the famous track in Imola.
But what makes Mick Schumacher move? How does it feel for him to really live the dream of many young people? When he talks about racing, he describes pure passion: "Racing is what I dream of. Actually, racing is constantly on my mind. It's exhausting, it's difficult, it's challenging, it's complicated. It's simply awesome." His next steps he explains quite clear and focused:" For the moment, my goal is to become a good and complete race driver. This means taking one step after another, working hard on myself and always giving my best. I am convinced, this is the only way to achieve your goals and I am very convinced that I will reach these goals. Because of this, it's important to me to have a solid base and to become confident in all areas racing will be confronting me with."
It is important for him to take the necessary steps with the right speed and not to rush. He says: "Exactly for this reason I will not be rushed and will not only have an eye for the quick results, instead I will be working on myself constantly and focused. Racing is an extremely complex sport, this makes it difficult and at the same time really fascinating." In order to be also in a top shape physically he does a lot of sports, including mountain biking or motocross. But his passion is racing on four tires and working with his team: "I can not think of anything better than to be on the racetrack, aiming for the perfect lap and always trying to improve my performance. I am willing to work hard on myself because I know, this is the only way to fulfill your own dreams."
It will be exciting to follow the next steps of the young gun. You want to know more about Mick Schumacher, his team and the next race events? Everything worth knowing and many backgrounds you will find on his homepage: http://www.mickschumacher.ms/ or just follow: @mickschumacher

Meet 17 years old Ruth Ama Gyan-Darkwa, the youngest KNUST graduate ever.
Ruth Ama Gyan-Darkwa broke her older sister Grace's age record when she was admitted to Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in 2017 at the age of 13.
She has recently graduated after completing her studies in Mathematics.
The former St. Louis Senior High School student first gained attention when she became the youngest student ever admitted to KNUST, and she is now the youngest graduate from any university in Ghana to have completed school at the age of 17.
She attended Christ Our Hope International School and Abraham Lincoln Junior High School in Kumasi prior to SHS.
She appeared on Kwaku Sakyi-The Addo's Lounge in 2017 with her sister and their father, Kwadwo Gyan-Darkwa, a Mathematics and Physics tutor at Prempeh College.
"According to her, she passed her Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) at age 9, while in her first year at Justice International School in Kumasi. As a result, at the age of 10, she was accepted into St. Louis Senior High School to study General Science and successfully graduated in 2017," a report by knust.edu.gh said.
In an interview with the portal, she also admitted that her journey had not been without challenges, saying that despite having a stellar academic record, she struggled with her tertiary education and felt quite nervous at times.

"I was able to overcome the many challenges because God saw me through, and I looked to him at all times. Also, I had my eyes focused on the end goal. Some of my course mates felt intimidated because they thought I was too brilliant. Others wondered if I was cut for the journey. All these brought me to the point of questioning my potential but found solace in how far I have come, the support I received and the future that awaits me," she said.
Ruth plans to pursue a master's degree and then later, a PhD.

On 22 May 2015 the Irish people went to the polls to vote whether to add a clause to their constitution which would extend the right to civil marriage to couples of the same sex. The referendum carried with a resounding result.
All but one constituency in the Republic voted in favour of adding this clause, and thereby, extending to gay couples the right to the same civil union which straight couples have enjoyed since the constitution came into force in 1937. The result did not reflect the usual urban-rural divide displayed in many recent referenda and constituencies characterised by working-class communities, who have been perceived as being traditional, if not conservative, in their thinking, often returned the largest margins in favour of the proposition.
The result also crossed all age groups. It was not a matter of older people versus younger people but represented a common ground where all levels of the age spectrum came together. In fact, the turn out for the referendum was marked by a large number of young people, a group who have often been difficult to engage in political decision-making.
The significance of this event is that, while many countries have legislated for full, gay marriage, this is the first time that the question was put to the people for their approval and concurrence. And the people responded in the clearest voice, many of them returning home from abroad, specifically to vote.
I am so proud to be an Irish citizen. I am so proud that this small country, often wrongly perceived as a conservative, if not backward, land in the grips of the Catholic Church, has shown that it is a modern, open-minded, and Christian country, in the purest, non-religious sense of that word.
Many on the defeated 'No' side are claiming that the people's decision was a result of American dollars being pumped into the 'Yes' campaign. As it turns out, the campaign did receive healthy contributions from a human rights funding agency, which happens to fund many like projects around the world.
But regardless of campaign contributions, do those that believe their defeat is due to this money forget that when the subject of extending marriage to gay couples was raised during the Constitutional convention and polls were taken at the time to 'test the waters', that the majority of Irish people were in favour? And this was long before a referendum was put forward or any campaigning began? And are they suggesting that the only way the Irish people could vote against their view is to have been bought?
And so what if money came from abroad to assist in the campaign? No one seems to object to the money that large American companies pump into the Irish economy each year which has a much greater impact on Irish culture in the form of Americanisation? And what if the money came from a 'gay-specific' group? There are never many objections when people are clamouring for the so-called 'pink euro'; so what if we want to spend some of our 'disposable income' on ourselves?
But, that's really more red-herrings to avoid the acceptance that an inclusive and egalitarian Ireland is the kind of Ireland the majority of Irish people would like to live in. I hope that this decision will also have some impact on those Irish who are so quick to criticise their own country and like to view it as backward and out of touch, and that they will see what a generous and open country they actually inhabit.
On this point, I feel that our former President, Mary McAleese, put it best when she pointed out that even if all the gay people in Ireland voted in favour of the referendum, they could not carry the vote on their own. They needed the help of their straight parents, siblings, cousins, neighbours, colleagues, friends, and yes, strangers.
I believe this result is an example of the Irish people shrugging off the Victorian morals they had espoused in recent centuries in order to survive, and returning to embrace their native values. Traditional Irish culture revolved around family and clan. The 'traditional' Irish family included fosterage and other non-blood members and often strayed far from our narrow, modern concept of a nuclear family. And as an extension of this 'familial' concept, traditional Irish culture bore a mandate for extending welcome and kindness to strangers.
And I, for one, am grateful this aspect of the native culture has not been extinguished as is apparent from the results of the Marriage Equality referendum vote.

'City on a Hill' Picked up by Showtime
Today, Showtime announced a new one-hour drama pilot, City on a Hill, to be executive produced by Academy Award winners Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, written by Chuck MacLean (Boston Strangler), and directed and executive produced by Gavin O'Connor (The Accountant, Warrior). The project will also be executive produced by James Mangold (Logan, Walk The Line) and Emmy nominee Jennifer Todd (Jason Bourne, Memento) for Pearl Street Films. Produced by Showtime, City on a Hill is based on an original idea by Affleck and MacLean. The announcement was made today by David Nevins, President and CEO of Showtime Networks Inc.
In the early 90s, Boston was rife with violent criminals emboldened by local law enforcement agencies in which corruption and racism was the norm, and then it all suddenly changed. City on a Hill is a fictional account of what was called the "Boston Miracle." At the center is an African-American District Attorney who comes in from Brooklyn advocating change and the unlikely alliance he forms with a corrupt yet venerated FBI veteran who is invested in maintaining the status quo. Together they take on a family of armored car robbers from Charlestown in a case that grows to encompass and eventually upend Boston's city-wide criminal justice system.
"City on a Hill is a gritty thriller about severe corruption and gangs, the type of series that takes you back and centers around the crime-riddled streets of Boston in the early 90s," said Todd. "We are excited to be a part of this project with Showtime and to partner with Gavin again."
O'Connor noted, "Chuck wrote a pressure-cooker of a script steeped in the tribal codes of a Shakespeare play - family, blood, betrayal, honor. His take on the ties that bind is handled with a deep honesty and insight. I see the show as a brawling thriller - and an intimate family drama - played out on the rough streets of Boston."

The Challenge Of Implementing Capability Maturity Model (Cmm) In Pakistan Software Industry
According to Watts Humphrey "The Actual Process is what you do, with all its omission, mistakes, and oversights. The Official Process is what books say you are supposed to do". So there are two challenges that a software development firm faces. First, to come up with reliable, efficient and pragmatic Official processes. Second, to make these processes a part of the company's culture i.e. to make the Official process the same as the Actual Process.Many software companies fall face down while trying to force the Official Process - so much so that the Official Process lies buried in company archives and the Actual Process is in no comparison with the Official Process.In a country like Pakistan ...view middle of the document...
Having worked in multinationals and also in couple of Pakistani software firms myself, it is my experience that culture in most of the Pakistani Software houses is no different than any American, Indian or European firm. If culture is not an issue than what are the factors that have slowed down induction of CMM practices in Pakistan ?I have been studying about CMM in detail, have also conducted couple of informal seminars on CMM. But it was only when I was on the receiving side of the CMM (i.e. I became a software developer myself) that I actually began to appreciate why CMM has failed to gather majority support in Pakistani software community.In the rest of the article I would try to discuss major hindrances in implementing CMM in a Pakistan software industry.CMM Certified companiesBefore I start discussing CMM in Pakistan software industry; I would jot down a few statistics to give you an idea where the rest of the word stands today.The statistics presented in this section are as of January,2002. Since new CMM certifications are issued frequently, the statistics given in this section are a moving target. Interested readers should visit [7] frequently to get the latest statistics.There are a total of 139 organizations with CMM Level-4 and Level-5 certification (these companies are called high maturity organizations). Although the list includes majority of the high level organizations; but there are a few companies that have chosen not to be listed; and hence such companies are not included in the list given below.The country wise division is given belowCountry NameLevel-4 OrganizationLevel-5 OrganizationTOTALIndia284371USA391655Russia055China022Australia202France101Ireland101Israel101Singapore101TOTAL 73 66 139According to the above table, an amazing 51% of the total of high maturity organizations are located in India.One word of caution : A company that has physically distinct development centers, has to get separate certifications for each development center. The famous Indian firm named TATA Consultancy has thirteen centers in India - it has 12 CMM Level-5 and 1 CMM Level-4 certifications to its credit; WIPRO has three Level-5 certifications to its credit . So the 71 Indian certifications, does not indicate 71 distinct Indian companies, rather a total of distinct 31 (approx) firms share the 71 certifications.Consider Motorola ,for example, Motorola Australia has CMM Level-4 certification; Motorola has two centers in China and both have CMM Level-5 certifications, Motorola also has one center in India which has Level-5 certification. So the 139 high level organizations does not depict the actual number of distinct companies.The list does not include CMM Level-2 and 3 organizations; as the list of such companies is exhaustive.A sad part of the story was that: As of Feb 2002, not a single Pakistani software firm has any CMM certification.Fortunately things have changed since March 2002. NetSol - successfully achieved CMM Level 2 certification on...
