Ex-Presidential Candidate Andrew Yang Launches Data Privacy Nonprofit

Former presidential candidate and known cryptocurrency proponent Andrew Yang has announced a new initiative to protect privacy online.
After ending his presidential bid last month, Yang has announced the creation of new nonprofit organization called Humanity Forward. It aims to "rewrite the rules" of economy and society with a focus on data privacy.
Announcing the news in a March 5 tweet, Yang outlined that the group is building a human-centered America, calling for donations to support the movement. Despite Yang previously accepting donations within his presidential campaign in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Humanity Forward doesn't support donations in crypto as of launch, according to details on the website.
"Data as a property right" is a major principle of the new organization
According to the organization's description, Humanity Forward is dedicated to continuing the movement inspired by Andrew Yang's 2020 presidential campaign that includes major aspects like universal basic income (UBI), human-centered capitalism, and "data as a property right."
Focusing on the protection of data by online users, the new nonprofit organization calls for data privacy in terms of basic human rights, arguing that all individuals need to own their own data. Specifically, Humanity Forward stands against online platforms that collect data of their users to pass or sell it to entities like advertisers or fraudulent services. Humanity Forward urges that such malpractices need to stop, calling people to fight for their privacy rights.
The statement reads:
"Some companies haven't done enough to protect our data, resulting in breaches that have made our private information insecure. Others have sold it to disreputable companies, allowing them to target us for everything from marketing fraudulent services to influencing elections. Companies themselves have asked for better and clearer rules."
The "Data as a Property Right" statement also apparently refers to some data privacy-oriented initiatives such as a state-level California Consumer Privacy Act that was enacted in January 2020. Humanity Forward urges that people should be aware of such laws and ensure that companies comply with them:
"Certain states have adopted new laws that enable consumers to exercise control of their data rights. Our goal is to make it so that companies fulfill their obligations under these laws and that YOU - the consumer - benefit and share in that value."
As reported by Cointelegraph, Yang dropped out of the presidential race on Feb. 11 after getting 1% of the primary vote in the state of Iowa. The ex-presidential candidate is specifically known for promising to provide every American adult with $1,000 a month as part of his UBI idea in case he is elected president. In November 2019, Bitcoin proponents criticized Yang for trying to give everybody fiat instead of money.
The news comes as another presidential candidate, Elizabeth Warren, dropped out of the presidential race on March 5.

Aromas of black currants, tobacco, and vanilla. Flavors of cassis, blackberries, and dark chocolate. Full bodied profile with coarse tannins, a complex palate, and broad mouthfeel. Already quite approachable but has acidity and tannins to age very nicely. 2014 was one of the best vintages California has seen! Warm days and cool nights yielded wines with ripe flavors, ample structure and balanced acidity.

Crew-2 astronauts arrive in Florida ahead of SpaceX launch next week
By Amy Thompson published 16 April 21
Crew-2 is scheduled to launch on April 22.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — A crew of four astronauts arrived at Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Florida Friday (April 16) in advance of SpaceX's second operational astronaut launch for NASA.
NASA astronauts Megan McArthur and Shane Kimbrough, along with Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide and France's Thomas Pesquet, were all smiles as they stepped off a plane, after it parked on the former space shuttle runway here at KSC.
Their mission, called Crew-2, will see a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch a Crew Dragon spacecraft on a 24-hour trip to the International Space Station (ISS). Liftoff is set for April 22 at 6:11 a.m. EDT (1011 GMT) from Pad 39A here, if weather permits.
Meet Crew-2: The 4 space-bound astronauts launching aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon
The quartet of astronauts departed from Ellington Field near NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston on Friday morning and flew to KSC aboard a charter plane. Upon arrival, they were greeted by acting NASA administrator Steve Jurczyk, KSC director Bob Cabana, Europe ISS program manager Franke de Winne and Junichi Sakai, manager of Japan's ISS program.
"Welcome to Kennedy Space Center," Cabana said during a media event today marking the crew's arrival. "How great is it to have the Crew-2 crew here for the third launch of humans to space in less than a year?"
"What an exciting time for our nation's human spaceflight program," he added.
Crew-2 will be the second operational crewed mission for SpaceX and the first in which astronauts ride in a previously flown Crew Dragon spacecraft on top of a flight-proven rocket. This Falcon 9's first stage also launched the Crew-1 astronauts, who are currently living on the space station, in November 2020. And this Crew Dragon spacecraft, known as Endeavour, made its first trip to space in May 2020, when it toted NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley to the orbiting lab on the Demo-2 test mission.
Now, both of those vehicles will fly astronauts for a second time. (And, if all goes as planned, this Falcon 9 first stage will also launch SpaceX's Inspiration4 mission — with the first all-civilian crew — to Earth orbit later this year.)
"This is a mission of firsts," Jurczyk said during today's event.
In addition to the reusability milestones outlined above, "it's the first commercial mission flying two of our international partners to the station and returning them home, it's the first commercial crew handover on the ISS, and it's the first time two commercial crew spacecraft will be docked to the station," Jurczyk added. "So, just an incredibly exciting mission."
Reuse is a key priority of SpaceX. It was a challenge for the NASA and SpaceX teams to certify both the spacecraft and the launch vehicle for this mission, but they did so during a flight readiness review yesterday (April 15).
Currently, there are 10 astronauts living on the ISS, with three scheduled to go home before Crew-2 gets off the ground. NASA astronaut Kate Rubins and cosmonauts Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Serchkov launched on a Russian Soyuz spacecraft on Oct. 21. They're set to climb back on board their Soyuz spacecraft tonight and land on Earth early Saturday morning (April 17).
McArthur, Kimbrough, Hoshide and Pesquet will join Crew-1's Victor Glover, Mike Hopkins, Shannon Walker and Soichi Noguchi and the trio of Mark Vande Hei, Oleg Novitsky and Pyotr Dubrov, who came up on a Soyuz. (Glover, Hopkins, Walker and Vande Hei are NASA astronauts, Noguchi is Japanese and Novitsky and Dubrov are Russian.)
The Crew-1 quartet will leave the station at the end of the month, bringing the number of crewmembers back down to seven.
Crew-2 received the official green light from NASA on Thursday after passing the flight readiness review. There's one issue that SpaceX is currently investigating, however, and needs to clear before the Falcon 9 is test-fired on Saturday.
That issue has to do with the propellant loading of the Falcon 9. Preflight inspections showed that there is more liquid oxygen loading into the rocket than was expected. Other Falcon 9 first stages have flown with this discrepancy with zero issues, SpaceX representatives said, but NASA isn't taking any chances with crew on board. Both the agency and SpaceX are looking into the issue before launch.
Both the Crew Dragon capsule and the rocket rolled to the pad on Friday morning, as launch preparations continue at Pad 39A. In addition to the static-fire test scheduled for Saturday, there's a final launch readiness review that will take place on Tuesday (April 20).

Milan, 9 November 2018 – The Piaggio Group said that on Tuesday, with the opening of the EICMA 2018 tradeshow, it had filed a complaint informing the authorities of the presence on a competitor's stand of a number of scooters whose designs constitute an imitation of the Vespa, infringing Piaggio's exclusivity right (three-dimensional trademark and ornamental model of the "Vespa" scooter).
In response to Piaggio's complaint, the Mobile Unit of the Rho division of the Guardia di Finanza, the Italian military police corps, seized the scooters in question.
The initiative is part of the action Piaggio takes to safeguard its intellectual property rights and guarantee the protection of the forms and designs that have characterised the Vespa since it was originally introduced.


If you're anything like me, once the warm weather hits, you're looking for a new salad recipe to try out to add to the rotation. I have absolutely found one and it is quick and easy. If you love fresh mozzarella and tomatoes then this Caprese Salad with Farro and homemade kale and spinach pesto, is going to become your new favorite salad.
This article may contain Affiliate links, but all opinions expressed are my own.
We clearly have a thing for Caprese around our house. We routinely rely on our Caprese Kabob Appetizers as our go-to appetizer when friends drop by unexpectedly. I also routinely have a craving for our Caprese Burger. I just can't resist fresh mozzarella. This Caprese Salad has a hearty addition though. Farro. I wasn't familiar with farro at all, until I was introduced to the fabulous book, Grains as Mains by Jodi Moreno & Sarah W. Caron. The addition of farro in this recipe makes it a hearty salad that would work as the perfect lunch or light dinner.
I was drawn to this recipe because it involved caprese while it challenged me to try farro for the first time. The great thing about Grains as Mains is that it creates modern recipes using ancient grains while teaching the novice the benefits and cooking techniques. I certainly appreciated the explanation of the grains and loved that I found new ways to incorporate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The recipes are easy to follow and every picture is drool-worthy. It is a stunning cook book that is also a reference guide for anyone looking to learn to cook more with traditional grains like spelt, quinoa, buckwheat, farro, polenta and more.
Caprese is traditionally made with basil and this salad would absolutely work with basil, but I had fresh baby spinach on hand and it worked perfectly with my kale and spinach pesto. I actually made it multiple times for lunch at work this week. It's just so quick and easy, while having all those fresh ingredients.
A quick and easy Caprese salad with farro and homemade kale and spinach pesto.
Rinse the farro under cold running water and place in a large saucepan and cover with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to simmer for about 40 minutes. Let the farro cool before adding it to the salad.
Place the mozzarella, tomatoes and baby spinach leaves in a large bowl and sprinkle with kale & spinach pesto.
Add in the cooled farro and mix the salad. Let chill in the refrigerator before serving.
We love farro around our house and I have everything except the mozarella on hand. Definitely pinning and adding this to my meal plan for next week. Thanks for sharing!

Leanne Wookey and Tajal Rutherford-Bhatt, directors at tp bennett, tell us about the firm's heritage, history, developments and how the next 100 years is likely to commence…
Playdemic, Manchester. Image: Paul Riddle
This year, tp bennett celebrates 100 years of practice. In that time, there have been some big shifts in terms of both style and approach within the industry. Design has changed.
Arguably, the biggest change we've seen in the past 100 years is the division of architecture and interiors into distinctive specialisms. Historically, the design of interior space was balanced across architectural teams, with schools like Bauhaus combining passion for architecture with furniture and product design, allowing practitioners to turn their hands to multiple skills. Frank Lloyd Wright famously delved into interior and product design because of his desire to blur boundaries and encompass every single detail of a project into one cross-pollinated style. Arne Jacobsen, similarly, is known for his work at St Catherine's College Oxford (1962), in which the building's modernist architecture resonates throughout every element of the project, from the interior and furniture to the cutlery used in the dining hall.
Sometime in the 1980s, however, the approach to interior design changed – partly as a result of changes in fashion and style – and the two disciplines started to be perceived as distinct disciplines. tp bennett established a dedicated interiors division in 1998 with the aim of honing specific skills. This evolved quite organically and collaboratively alongside the architecture practice but allowed us to keep a fresh outlook on the specific requirements of good interior design. Now, our practice has a 50/50 offering of architecture and interiors work.

From an association with cushions and curtains interior design has evolved into a discipline that requires knowledge of wellbeing, inclusivity, neurodiversity and the human experience of space. The current challenges have opened up the vision and creativity of clients who are becoming more interested in having control over their interior environments and how they impact the people using them.
Google, with its renowned focus on play, and WeWork, which understands the human collaboration elements of work and need for good coffee, have really challenged the perception of interior office design. 100 years ago, a workplace was just that and every part of it was focused on quantifiable productivity. Now, we are working on projects with organisations like Open Society Foundations which include spaces of reflection and rest, which are authentic to the brand and also to the wellbeing needs of the employee.
Change is often a psychological hurdle but there is a lot that is very positive about the way things are evolving and changing to benefit environment and society. Often, the occupier of a building is unknown when it is designed, but many clients are looking beyond the typical locations to attract new colleagues. Moving forward, a greater focus on sustainability and wellness will see buildings and interiors designed with future flexibility engrained from the outset.

Cats Are Social Distancing Better Than Humans as Cities Reopen
by Rick Andreoli May 14, 2020
written by Rick Andreoli May 14, 2020
Most people are growing accustomed to social distancing in public, but it's not always easy to break old habits of standing right behind the person in front of you. Even with stores and theme parks reopening and placing distance markers on the ground to show customers where to stand, they can still slip outside the lines. But cats, it seems, are better at social distancing than humans.
Case in point: These photos, shot by Coleen Joice Aquino and posted on The Philippine Star's Twitter feed. They are from Holy Spirit, a district of Quezon City in the Philippines. The images show painted circles on the ground indicating where customers should stand in order to maintain appropriate social distancing while shopping. However, instead of humans, stray cats sit waiting in the circles.
Here's what The Philippine Star posted with the images:
These stray cats were spotted occupying the circle marks intended for the implementation of social distancing protocols in front of a store in Brgy. Holy Spirit, Quezon City on Sunday amid enhanced community quarantine.
Aquino reported that the cats stayed at the markings for about 10 minutes. "They just went to the circles and they stayed for about 10 minutes and I was so excited that I took them pictures," she said (translation via Google Translate).
Why Cats Do This
Photo: YouTube
This behavior isn't that strange. Whether you tape a circle on the ground or leave an extension cord in a loop, cats will often sit or lay down inside it. Experts are split on the reason why, but here are some theories.
Veterinarian Dr. Natalie Waggener writes on the South Boston Animal Hospital website that, "When they see a spot clearly demarcated by a circle, they feel psychologically comfortable because they can see their space."
If the circle has a raised edge, it can give the cat a sense of security, similar to when they will crawl into a small box.
Some animal behaviorists say feline psychology has them sit in circles because they identify it as a new territory.
"Cats are naturally curious animals," Waggener writes. "If you're forming a circle with a bunch of stray socks or other materials that are new to the environment, this act alone could be intriguing enough to warrant a full investigation by your resident feline."
Catching cats in circles actually became a social media trend a few years back. Here's a video showing examples, and explaining why it happened.

On the Chesapeake Bay, nothing's simple. And that includes efforts to improve the water quality of this famous estuary.
That complexity largely comes down to two scientific concepts: resilience and thresholds.
Resilience refers to an ecosystem's natural ability to resist big changes, such as a fast improvement or worsening in water quality. A threshold is a tipping point in which an ecosystem suddenly shifts from one state to another. Both concepts can be seen in operation on the Bay.
Resilience: Since the mid-1980s, humans have made concerted, sustained efforts to reduce the nutrients they dump into the Chesapeake Bay. But the Bay, due to biological, chemical, and physical processes, hasn't recovered as much as many would like.
Thresholds: While the water quality in the Bay had decreased steadily throughout the 1960s, a big drop followed Hurricane Agnes in 1972. The storm wiped out much of the Bay's underwater grass populations, which were already struggling due to human activities. The populations have not recovered much.
Some scientists suggest that the estuary has entered into an "alternative steady state"— one where underwater grasses are no longer common in the estuary. Instead, the vegetation was replaced by extensive, and often harmful, blooms of algae.
Both resilience and thresholds can slow efforts to clean up the Bay. In other words, once the ecosystem passes a tipping point, it's difficult to push the ecosystem back to its previous state.
But resilience and thresholds can work to the Bay's advantage, too. When underwater grass beds are thick and healthy, they can withstand severe storms and scouring.
And once underwater grasses begin growing in an area, they can start to improve the quality of water around them — that makes it easier for even more grasses to grow.
So while efforts to clean up the Bay may deliver unpredictable results, when big changes come, they may come fast.
Maryland Sea Grant supports research that investigates resilience and thresholds in the Bay and how these concepts affect the Chesapeake's restoration.
Is the Bay Recovery Looking Up, an issue of Chesapeake Quarterly, Maryland Sea Grant's magazine, explores examples of how the push to restore the Chesapeake ecosystem has been successful.
On the Road to Restoration, an issue of Chesapeake Quarterly, examines how resilience plays a role in Bay restoration.
Thresholds in the Recovery of Eutrophic Coastal Ecosystems -- A Workshop Report summarizes the results of a workshop where researchers discussed how thresholds may help or slow the Bay's recovery.

Home / About Us / News / Bradstone & Stoneflair 2010
Once upon a time, there was a major international company that owned an exceptionally good poker hand of landscaping brands. There was an obvious ace, in the shape of a premium domestic paving label, with a King that had a solid reputation in the commercial sector, supported by a Queen that offered an unrivalled range of aggregates and a Jack that provided value for money without compromising quality. Then, about 18 months ago, for reasons which defy explanation, the powers-that-be decided to re-arrange their cards, turn over their hand and declare this impossible-to-beat Royal Flush as a lowly Ace High, consequently ceding the game to their rivals before going to hide in the toilets on their own.
From what used to be the most communicative of manufacturers comes a pair of brochures that prompt dozens of questions beginning: why? The fact that the brochures had to be requested indicates just how far into their corporate shell the various Aggregate Industries (AI) brands have retreated. A couple of years ago, I'd have been patiently and precisely guided through each brochure by a PR-accompanied AI marketeer who would proudly explain the thinking behind the brochures, how they saw the coming season, where they thought the excitement lay, and their unassailable support for all sorts of environmental and social causes. This year, I have to ask for copies from the one remaining face I know at the company, and then wait two weeks for the new marketing crowd to put them in the post with an impersonal cover letter suggesting how I can create a beautiful and inspirational garden. The plot has very definitely been lost.
The first thing that strikes about the pair of brochures branded 'Bradstone' and 'Stoneflair' is just how similar they are. The business masterplan used to be about creating distinct brands with very definite markets, but now there is nothing to choose between them. Both brochures comprise a semi-gloss A4 format with a full-cover image overstamped with the Aggregate Industries logo; both are entitled "Garden landscape collection", and both have the named brand shrunk to an afterthought before being tucked away in the top left corner. The Stoneflair issue runs to 40 pages while the Bradstone offering has been given a less-than-generous 56 pages, but neither weigh up to the recent challenges from the other major suppliers, some of whom offer twice as many pages and in a noticeably plusher package.
Bradstone
Stoneflair
Starting with the Bradstone brochure, it seems that, like many other manufacturers, there's been a conscious decision to limit innovation in the current economic climate and so there's only one new product which is basically an extension of the Panache range to include ground and textured options in light, medium and dark shades. However, there's no sizing information given on the page. Instead, we're referred to page 52 where careful perusal of the tabular information charted over two columns reveals that New Panache comes a 450x450mm squares while original Panache is a 400x400mm format. Wait a minute! Doesn't that mean that the two are basically incompatible? Why?
New Panache looks like an option that should have been given a standalone name. Rightly or wrongly, giving a product the same name as an existing product suggests compatibility. While it may be an attractive option (I haven't seen it in the flesh, but you could probably have guessed that much) it's nothing radically new, as ground and textured paving have been with us for years. I really do like the simple monochrome palette, which is bang on trend, but the confusion over the name defies logic.
Panache, both original and new, are corralled into the section dubbed "Contemporary Paving", followed somewhat predictably by "Traditional Paving", which is essentially the imported stone products and the wet cast products by which Bradstone established its reputation, and then "Block Paving", which is strangely split into what I assume to be Bradstone brands, such as Woburn, and then Charcon brands, such as Parliament and Andover. Why?
Three short sub-sections for Walling, Edgings and Decorative Aggregates wrap up the interesting part of the brochure and the final pages are given over to the usual caveats, laying patterns, and a busy size chart spread over three pages. No laying guide; no maintenance and aftercare advice; no plugs for recommended contractors.
Overall, this is a strange brochure. There's a bit too much flowery text and many of the photos are too small. On the subject of photography, I don't ever recall seeing so many images compromised by shadows. In some instances, a touch of shade can add depth and character to a photgraph, but in half-a-dozen or more photos here, the shadows spoil the appearance of the paving.
It is high quality, well-staged photographs that sell paving, so cramming a main photo, subsidiary photos, blurb text, swatches, image explanations, BRE and Carbon labels and links to the size charts, all onto a single A4 page per product doesn't really do justice for the paving. Sure, it's understandable for low-value products such as the utilitarian Peak Paving or block paving kerbs, but for new products? For prestige lines such as the polished natural stone? Why?
Let's look at the Stoneflair catalogue. Oh look! The same logos for BRE, ethical credentials and surface protection. In fact, the whole catalogue is incredibly similar to what has gone before. There are some small differences but it does have the look of homework copied on the bus.
Product names are printed in all capitals, but photos are small (again) and a third or a half of most pages is given over to white space with blurb text. This brochure has three product sub-sections, namely natural stone, reconstituted stone (pronounced " kon kreet ") and block paving.
The most notable product is the native stone, Waddington Fell, a "yorkstone" which hails from Lancashire and a truly gorgeous thing it is. So why has it been portrayed using a photo which barely shows the stone itself and is afflicted with a strange blue cast? There's great excitement about what they've called "The World's first responsibly sourced natural stone". There's a sort-of explanation given: responsibly sourced means that it's like….err…. sourced responsibly, and ….errr… ethically and ….err….with minimum quarrying. All laudable credentials, admittedly, but how is that different to what almost every other supplier of note is claiming? I'd much prefer to see a decent photo or three, a selection of swatches to depict the colour variation within the stone, and some sensible size information. Referring me to another back-of-the-book size chart where I have to scroll through a column-and-a-half of other products and then squint to find that "PS Waddington Fell" comes in two patio packs (10.2m² and 5.5m²) is not particularly helpful.
Waddington Fell British Stone
Leafing through the Purestone products it's hard to spot what's significantly different from what Bradstone offers. An antiqued Indian sandstone, black and yellow Kadappha limestone, granite, Travertine and slate. What's different about these from the stuff we've just seen?
The same can be said for the concrete reconstituted stone. There are slight differences, and the names are different but there's a still an enormous sense of déjà vu. The prize for best comedy line, though, has to go to the strapline used for the wet-cast wannabe weathered sleepers. "Stonewood – Stunning Realism" . Damn, I nearly slopped hot tea all over my keyboard when I read that! I know my eyes aren't what they were, but they're not * that * bad!
Roche Abbey - Oh dear!
Block Paving. Rumbled Infilta. Not only is it the same product, it's the same chuffing photie as that used in the Bradstone brochure, only cropped further to the right! Stonemaster (which I still love) has at least been given an original photie, and Monksbridge genuinely is unique to Stoneflair. Roche Abbey with its ludicrous claims about evoking "all things pastoral with its hint of natural clay" is foul. It's what my younger daughter would call "minging". We've had some shockers in the block paving sector in recent years, but this is right up there. I'd actually prefer pattern imprinted concrete to this abomination!
Stoneflair rumbled blocks
Bradstone Woburn Rumbled
The brochure closes with the inevitable laying guides, size charts, caveats and whoa! Two paragraphs of maintenance advice cunningly disguised as a plug for the underperforming "Pave Shield" water-based sealant. Wow!
Have I been harsh? I didn't intend to be, but reading through these comments now, there's little of a positive note. After careful consideration, I've determined this is due to a combination of two factors. Firstly, I've been spoiled in recent weeks by plush publications from those that AI would consider to be their main competitors. Marshalls, Brett, Stonemarket, Global have all produced credible and worthwhile catalogues that are wonderful sales aids. This pair from Bradstone and Stoneflair, while not bad, are not quite in the same league. They actually manage to make the brand seem cheaper than it really is.
Secondly, and the abiding thought I'll carry with me over the rest of this season, is the volte-face regarding brand identity. For many years, the brief was to give Bradstone, Charcon, Stoneflair, and Border Aggregates their own identity, their own target markets, their own feel and style and look. What's striking now is the exact opposite. It's all about how similar they are.
Can two separate brands be justified? I'm sure there are logistical and marketing reasons why the two must remain, but as an interested bystander, it seems like a lot of unnecessary duplication with no obvious benefit to me, the end user. Why?
Stonemaster - whether from Bradstone or Stoneflair, it's gorgeous.
For contractors, I can see one or both of these brochures being kept under the seat in the van, rather than on the dashboard. They contain some good information and there *will* be clients looking for some of these products, but when you're looking to impress a potential customer, the photography and styling of the competing catalogues will probably have you reaching for them first.
Brochures will be available from Bradstone and Stoneflair stockists throughout the country. Alternatively, you can download PDF versions from the AI website or order copies online via the following links.

ICRA share falls up to 5% in early trade after MD and CEO Naresh Takkar sacked
ICRA share price fell almost 5% in Friday's trading session after the rating agency terminated the employment of managing director and chief executive officer Naresh Takkar.
BusinessToday.In | August 30, 2019 | Updated 12:10 IST
ICRA later said in its filing that it remains committed to ensuring the independence and integrity of its rating process and sound corporate governance.
ICRA share price fell almost 5% in Friday's trading session after the rating agency terminated the employment of managing director and chief executive officer Naresh Takkar. The move comes at a time when the rating agency is under a cloud following the IL&FS crisis. Moody's Group owns 51.87% majority stake in ICRA.
Reacting to the news, there was a trend reversal in the stock after four days of consecutive gain. The share price of ICRA opened 3.50% lower at Rs 2,702 on BSE compared to its last close of Rs 2,800 and later fell 4.96% to the day's low at Rs 2,661.10.
The stock trades higher than 5-day moving average, although lower than 20,50,100 and 200-day moving average.
ICRA's stock price lost almost 7% in the last 3 months and fallen over 14 % in one month's period.
ICRA sends MD and CEO Naresh Takkar on indefinite leave over IL&FS rating concerns
The Board of Directors of ICRA Limited, at a meeting today, after due consideration and taking into account the best interests of the Company and its various stakeholders, has decided to terminate the employment of Mr Naresh Takkar as Managing Director and Group CEO of ICRA, effective immediately," the company stated in the regulatory filing submitted yesterday after market hours.
"The ICRA Board will commence a search for a replacement. Mr Vipul Agarwal, who was appointed Interim COO on July 1, 2019, remains responsible for the day to-day operation of the Company until a CEO is appointed," the filing added.
IL&FS fallout: ICRA fires MD and CEO Naresh Takkar
On July 1 2019, ICRA Ratings, one of the leading credit rating agencies in India, had sent CEO and MD Naresh Takkar on forced leave, on the grounds of pending inquiry into the "concerns" raised by the Securities and Exchange Board of India. Following this, Chief financial officer Vipul Agarwal was named the interim chief operating officer.
The company said in May 2019 that it had hired an independent investigative agency to inquire into accusations of meddling in the rating of IL&FS.
IL&FS probe: SEBI rejects ICRA's out-of-court settlement application
Action against Takkar has been taken "pending an enquiry into the concerns raised in an anonymous representation, that was forwarded to the company by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, an anonymous complaint on the ratings of Infrastructure Leasing & Financial Services (IL&FS)," the rating agency had said in its earlier filings.
In May 2019, media reports had suggested that ICRA's top management was being investigated for influencing 'AAA' rating on IL&FS and had hired KPMG, a top accounting organisation to look into the allegations. IL&FS, which unexpectedly defaulted on repayments in September last year, had set off a liquidity crisis for non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) and threw the country's financial markets into turmoil.
IL&FS Crisis: ICRA seeks help from external experts
Takkar was recently appointed by Reserve Bank of India as a member of its committee on the development of housing finance securitisation market, chaired by Bain & Co's Harsh Vardhan.
Currently, as of 10: 30 pm, shares of ICRA are trading at Rs 2738, registering a decline of 2.21% on the BSE.

This recipe is very high in fiber which makes the amount of total carbohydrates high. Since fiber is digested differently than the typical carbohydrates that come from grains, wheat, and beans, eating a diet high in fiber has been linked to weight loss, lower cholesterol, and a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. If you need to decrease the fiber, omit the broccoli and cauliflower since they contain more fiber than water based vegetables such as zucchini and peppers.
*Note: tomato sauce can be loaded with added sugar and sodium so look for varieties that have about 50 calories, less than 5g of sugar, and less than 500mg of sodium per 1/2 cup serving. (I use Whole Foods 365 brand Classic Marinara).
In a large bowl, combine red pepper, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, 1 cup sliced mushrooms, and eggplant. Spray vegetables lightly with cooking spray and toss with herbs. Place in oven and roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Meanwhile, lightly spray a large skillet with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic and saute over medium heat until onions are translucent (about 3 minutes). Add 1 cup diced mushrooms and cook an additional 5 minutes. *If mixture is sticking to pan, add 1 tbsp of water at a time until mushrooms are tender.
When onions, garlic, and mushrooms are tender, transfer to a plate/bowl and set aside.
Lightly coat the same skillet with cooking spray. Add meat over medium heat until cooked through. Stir continuously to avoid burning. Once cooked, add mushroom/garlic/onion mixture back to skillet and cook an additional 2-3 minutes.
Add tomato sauce and simmer over low heat.
To prepare, divide pasta topped with vegetables among two plates or bowls and top each plate with half of meat sauce.
Serve alongside a fresh green salad if desired.


A few years ago, those in the drilling group at Occidental Petroleum were proud of how they had slashed the cost of drilling a well by significantly increasing the number of feet drilled per day.
Then they heard a speech by a former top executive who singled out that measure of drilling speed as a poor measure to focus on when the goal is cutting costs.
The problem was that while drilling more wells mean greater production, they also mean the total cost of the putting those wells into service was higher than expected when the annual budget was created.
These charts are based on the same wells drilled. The difference is that the budget is adjusted in the second chart to reflect cost increases as faster drilling has allowed more wells to be drilled. Source: IADC/SPE 189683.
performance and well changes. Source: IADC/SPE 189683.
Comparing the cost of drilling to the annual budget would have shown costs running 12% over budget, according to an example in the paper IADC/SPE 189683.
But the well costs line up with the budget when using the reporting system Occidental's drilling team installed 4 years ago. The difference is the system constantly adjusts the budget monthly to reflect the changes in the number and types of wells drilled. The revisions also account for well performance—a broad category covering operational issues, like the amount of material used, and the changing cost of the goods.
The detailed system is explained in a paper IADC/SPE 189683.
It is a large effort for the Occidental drilling team to track all the details required to offer a credible accounting of well costs. The problems it addresses are common throughout the industry.
"In the history of drilling, it is unlikely that any company ever drilled exactly the number and types of wells included in the original budget," the paper's authors said.
That is particularly true in drilling-intensive unconventional plays like the Permian, where the operators such as Occidental are constantly working to get more out of fleets of rigs mass-producing wells.
The cost reports condense the results of a complex process so they are instantly understandable to executives, and rigorous enough to persuade an audience wary of misleading measures that can obscure bad news.
That requires a lot of work. They needed realistic cost estimates of the many types of wells with differing depths and lateral lengths, casing, and the fracturing designs. "We have to document all these things," Willis said.
Drilling engineers have been trained on their cost-reporting role. Accurate field cost tracking based on close attention to detail reduces the risk of a later big cost surprise.
The close attention to detail has helped improve both the drilling group's operation, and how it is perceived.
For example, by tracking the time needed to make pipe connections they were able to significantly reduce the time needed to drill a well, and break down how they had reduced drilling time. They found that constant attention helps maintain productivity gains.
"If you stop tracking rig move times, it goes up. If you track, it goes down and stays down," Willis said.
And the perception of the drilling division in the executive suites also appears to have improved. Before the changes, significant drilling productivity gains were not mentioned during earnings presentations. Since then, drilling savings have been featured and continue to get mentioned, Willis said.


The Clarkton Post Office is located in the state of Missouri within Dunklin County. This location serves 1,653 Clarkton residents with a median income of $26,136. It's estimated that approximately 2,638 packages pass through this post office each year.


Exploring the Unknown from peter auboeck on Vimeo.
"For me the idea of Exploring the UNknown was to come to this place with no expectations at all and just see and take what we get. In the end we have been the very first ones to explore the local mountains with the bike and even if it was very hard because of extremly windy conditions and a lot of hiking it was a great experience to get to know new places to ride, new friendly and warm people and a totally different way of living."

Campaigning on Plant Reproductive Materials
Following the campaigning carried out by Garden Organic and other similar organisations, over 1,000 comments and recommended amendments for the Plant Reproductive Materials (PRM) Regulation have been received.
A large number of MEPs, including some of the shadow rapporteurs and other key players on the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development (DG AGRI) and the Environment Directorate-General (DG ENVI) Committees, are demanding the PRM Regulations be rejected in their present form and returned to the Commission for redrafting after the Elections in Spring this year.
They will be voting about the recommended next steps this February, meanwhile the European Seed Association, a lobby group which represents the interests of the large corporations, is pushing for the Regulations to continue through the process and be voted on for implementation before the Spring European elections. Please click here to view a copy of one of the letters they are sending out to all MEPs.
We believe that the reference within the letter to broad support from the seed sector is a presumptuous statement that does not seem to reflect the comments we have received from the smaller seed companies and plant breeders.
What action is Garden Organic taking?
Garden Organic aims to be present at the COPA COGECA meeting later this month. We are working with our colleagues across the EU on a new letter to send to MEPs to encourage them to vote for the rejection of the proposed regulation. In addition, we are working together to develop a European website that should be ready in around two weeks' time. The plan for this website is to feature the latest news from across the EU, the Seven Point Plan, the Vienna Declaration and a petition to add to the 250,000 signatures obtained from an earlier Pan European petition. Once the website is live we will post details here and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
The latest update in the campaign is good news, but as you can see there is still plenty more that Garden Organic and our partner organisations need to do.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far, we hope you will continue to back our campaign as it progresses.
For background on this issue, how it could impact Garden Organic and similar organisations, and what you can do to help, please visit the campaign pages of our website.

All cells are surrounded by a cell wall true or false
Biology Posted by admin
False. Animal cells has a cell membrane while a plant cell has a cell wall.
Cells play an important role in the structure and function of organisms. Which of the following is not a principle of the cell theory? a. Cells are the basic units of life. b. All living things are made of cells. c. Very few cells reproduce. d. All cells are produced by existing cells.
C. very few cells reproduce
Which statement best explains why cells were observed in more detail using a compound microscope than a simple microscope?
The statement best that explains why cells were observed in more detail using compound microscope than a simple microscope is : compound microscope has greater magnification ability than the simple microscope .
This will allow us to observe the subject with a much smaller size, making it easier for us to observe the detail
Sharp, jagged peaks are characteristic of fault-blocked mountains. A. True B. False

Why is meiosis important for organisms? It allows for genetic variation among organisms. It determines which genes are dominant and which are recessive. It produces genetically identical cells. It provides a means of asexual reproduction.
Genetic variation. Meiosis is the combination of 2 haploid cells so it's not asexual reproduction. Meiosis doesn't produce identical cells-mitosis does. And it doesn't determine which genes are dominant or recessive - there are equal chance of inheriting dominant/recessive genes, but the dominant one is expressed as phenotype
Which is the main reason cells are replaced in the body?The cells are too large.The cells are inactive.The cells are damaged.The cells are cancerous.
The cells are replaced because the cells are old, dead, or damaged.
Which is the end result of cytokinesis? one cell that has two identical copies of DNA one cell that has two different copies of DNA two cells that have two identical copies of DNA two cells that have two different copies of DNA
The end result of cytokinesis is TWO CELLS THAT HAVE TWO IDENTICAL COPIES OF DNA.
Cytokinesis refers to the last stage of either the mitosis or the meiosis. It involves the cytoplasmic division, which brings about the separation of the two daughter cells that are formed. It is a physical process, which finally divide the cells into two and at the same time ensuring that each cell has its own nucleus. At the end of cytokiness, two cells are formed that possess identical copies of DNA.
Which statement best describes cancer cells? They grow as a single layer of cells. They cease to reproduce after 20–50 mitotic divisions. They reproduce only when needed to replace missing cells. They are not regulated by contact inhibition.
the answer is d mark me as brainliest
Which of the following statements about agricultural societies is true? a. Agricultural societies did not pollute the environment. b. Agricultural societies impacted the environment less than hunter-gatherer societies. c. Agricultural societies had a higher population than hunter-gatherer societies. d. Agricultural societies impacted the environment more than industrial societies.
The correct answer is option C. Agricultural societies had a higher population than hunter-gatherer societies.
The hunting is not a very popular profession now-a-days, but the agriculture is very common and there are many people, who are involved in the profession of the agricultural production. So, the agricultural societies have a much higher population as compared to the that of the hunter-gather societies. Also, the hunting is banned for many animals and cannot produce enough money to support the basic livelihood.
Which group of organisms has the derived characteristics of true tissues, bilateral symmetry, and a pseudocoelom?
The group of organisms that has the derived characteristics of true tissues, bilateral symmetry, and a pseudocoelom is the animalia kingdom. They present all of the mentioned characteristics.
An example of a pseudocoelom is the roundworm.
I hope it helps, Regards.
The correct answer is Nematodes, also known as roundworms. They fit the description that you provided.
Which statement about enzymes is true
Enzymes don't take part in a reaction but just speeds up a reaction
What is the end result of meiosis? four identical daughter cells four different daughter cells two identical daughter cells two different daughter cells
Four identical daughter cells
Explanation;
-Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.
-In Meiosis one diploid cell produces 4 haploid daughter cells i.e. having half the chromosome number than the somatic cell of same organism. Therefore, as a human cell has 46 chromosomes, each haploid cell gets 23 chromosomes.
Ron is observing an onion cell on a slide under a microscope. He sees chromatids being pulled to opposite ends of the cell. Which phase is he seeing?
The answer is anaphase.
Ron is obviously observing cell division - mitosis. Mitosis consists of four phases - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis.
1. Prophase: Chromatin in the nucleus condenses and chromosomes pair up
2. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at the center of the cell. The sister chromatids are joined together.
3. Anaphase: The sister chromatids separate from each other to the opposite sides of the cells.
4. Telophase and Cytokinesis: Membrane forms around each set of chromosomes on two opposite sides of the cells and cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Therefore, sister chromatids being are pulled to the opposite ends of the cell in anaphase.
Is diffusion the only way materials can enter the cell? Explain.
Of course not! There's lots of ways materials can enter. It also depends on the cell; whether it has cell wall and cell membrane or only cell membrane.
Besides diffusion, there's also osmosis and active transport.
If the cell has only cell membrane, it means it's partially permeable, which means osmosis can happen.
*hope this helps :)
The three stages of cellular respiration are glycolysis Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain when do cells exhibit all these stages
They exhibit all the stages when its the presence of oxygen only.
Looking through a microscope, you see a cell forming a cell plate during cytokinesis. Which cell are you looking at?
If a cell plate is seen being formed, then that would mean that a cell wall would be in the process of forming thus you would be looking at a PLANT CELL.

Which of the following is not true about Polar bears?a. They all hibernate.b. They have black skin that helps them absorb heat.c. Their fur is transparent and hollow and helps trap heat.d. They have oversized paws with rough pads that help them walk on snow and ice.
a., They all hibernate is false. Polar bears do not hibernate at all. They are active all year long (except for the females that are pregnant). They do not need to hibernate as they are able to live off of fat stores for several months at a time.
Which of the following is not true about Polar bears?
After doing an investigation of polar bears. The statement from the options presented below the one that is NOT TRUE is that all polar bears hibernate. They remain active throughout the year.
Answer: A) They all hibernate.
I hope this helps, Regards.
Name two things found in a plant cell that are not found in an animal cell
Chloroplast and chlorophyll
Prokaryotic cells reproduce by
Prokaryotic cells reproduce by binary fission , which includes the chromosomes splitting into two equal parts.
Scientists group organisms into kingdoms by looking at specific characteristics. Which is a characteristic of a carrot plant? no cell walls heterotrophic unicellular eukaryotic
Scientists group organisms into kingdoms by looking at specific characteristics. The characteristic of the carrot plant is eukaryotic. Organisms with eukaryotic cells are whose cells contain a nucleus and other organelles enclosed within membranes.
Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells have a nucleus surrounded by membranes, unlike prokaryotes. Eukaryotic cells are larger than prokaryotic cells and have a "true" nucleus, membrane-bound organelles, and rod-shaped chromosomes. The nucleus houses the cell's DNA and regulates the structure of proteins and ribosomes.
Producers are the most important biotic factor in an ecosystem. a. True b. False
The above statement is True.
-Biotic factors are the living components of an ecosystem and are sorted into three groups: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposers or detritivores.
-Producers are living things within an ecosystem that make life possible for all other organisms. This is because they produce something very important. They are important parts of an ecosystem. Producers are the green plants. They make their own food. Consumers on the other hand are animals and they get their energy from the producers or from organisms that eat producers.
What does a cell use to break down glucose during cellular respiration
Cells use Glycolysis to break down glucose
Asexual reproduction requires two organisms follows the joining of sperm and egg cells produces an exact copy of the parent organism produces offspring that is not identical to the parent
Asexual Reproduction... produces an exact copy of the parent organism.
Which process produces offspring that are better able to cope with changes in the environment? Mitosis Cell division Asexual reproduction Sexual reproduction
The correct answer is an asexual reproduction. The process of asexual production is the process in which produces offspring that are better and is able to cope with changes in the environment. The offspring will only inherit the parent's genes, however, not the fusion of the gametes.
C is the correct answer.
Name the four ways that a neurotransmitter leaves the synapse after being release by a pre-synaptic cell?
Up next I will present the two principal mechanisms by which neurotransmitters are disposed of in order to maintain the synapse from becoming unresponsive. These are Enzymatic degradation and Re-uptake.
Sexual reproduction only requires one parent produces an exact copy of the parent organism requires the sperm and egg cells is the same as mitosis
Best answer Sexual Reproduction... requires the sperm and egg cells.
Dinosaurs were the dominant land animal of the Mesozoic Era. true or false
Dinosaurs where the dominant animals, so the answer is true.
The Mesozoic Era lasted more than 180 million years. Throughout this time, many contemporary forms of plants, invertebrates, and fishes developed. On land, dinosaurs were the dominant animals, while the oceans were populated by large marine reptiles, and Pterosaurs ruled the air.
