(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) collectively look at who should lead on which function, and where the biggest weakness is” - David Hunt
PLANO, TX, USA, May 26, 2023/einpresswire.com / -- david hunt , CEO of Hyperion Executive Search – A member of the sanford rose associates ® network of offices, Featured in Sifted, Bringing in The Grown-Ups: When Do Startups Need to Hire in C-Suite Experts?
By: Sadia Nowshin
Once a startup has raised a significant amount of cash, has a solid customer base and is growing its team, founders might consider bringing some more experienced people in to help steady the ship.
But while adding veterans to your startup's team can help lead you through your next phase of growth, hiring for senior roles too early - or hiring the wrong people - can take you in the opposite direction.
Startups don't need to hire for every possible C-suite role at the same time, and often won't need to fill every position. David Hunt, CEO of Hyperion Search, another service that helps startups recruit senior hires, says that the first few C-suite additions should fill existing knowledge gaps. Founders should“collectively look at who should lead on which function, and where the biggest weakness is” to identify the role they should hire first.

(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency)
Los Angeles, Jumada II 27, 1439, March 15, 2018, SPA -- Oklahoma is planning to become the first US state
to use nitrogen gas for executions, state officials said Wednesday
while announcing the resumption of carrying out the death penalty after a three-year hiatus, according to dpa.
The new method was announced in a statement from Attorney General Mike Hunter and Department of Corrections director Joe Allbaugh. The gas method was chosen as it was "effective, simple to administer, easy to obtain and requires no complex medical procedures," Hunter said. "I believe in justice for victims and their families, and in capital punishment as appropriate for dealing with those whose commit these crimes," he added. Victims of death row inmates had waited long enough for justice, Allbaugh said.
"Trying to find alternative compounds or someone with prescribing authority willing to provide us with the drugs is becoming exceedingly difficult, and we will not attempt to obtain the drugs illegally," he said.
Executions in the state were suspended following the botched execution of Clayton Lockett on April 29, 2014. The convicted murderer attempted to leave the gurney, groaned, convulsed and spoke in the 43 minutes after he was sedated for lethal injection. He finally died of a heart attack. The new scheme could take three to four months to be implemented, Hunter said, plus a 150-day federal review waiting period.

More economic pain ahead as the Fed's inflation fight is far from finished
The Federal Reserve again hiked interest rates this week by 75 basis points, meeting expectations and leaving the door wide open for a similar move in November.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Baku, Azerbaijan, March 16
By Rufiz Hafizoglu – Trend:
The European Parliament's resolution on Syria's Afrin has no significance for Turkey, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, Turkish media reported on March 16.
Earlier the European Parliament has adopted a resolution calling for the cessation of hostilities throughout Syria. The document also calls on the Turkish government to withdraw its troops from Afrin.
Erdogan said that the European Parliament has no right to teach Turkey anything.
Europe refuses to understand that Turkey does not pursue the goal of occupying Syrian territory, but on the contrary is the liberator of Syria from terrorism.
"The Operation Olive Branch is not directed against the peaceful population of Syria, Erdogan said.
The General Staff of Turkey announced on March 13 about complete encirclement of Afrin by the Turkish Armed Forces and Free Syrian Army.
On Jan. 20, the Turkish Armed Forces, together with the Free Syrian Army, launched the Operation Olive Branch in Afrin, Syria.
Earlier, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim announced that about 8,000-10,000 PYD/YPG terrorists are supposed to be hiding in Afrin.
Turkey began drawing its military to the Syrian border in late June 2017. The forces were being concentrated in Turkish Kilis Province bordering Syrian territory controlled by YPG/PYD.
On Aug. 24, 2016, Turkish Armed Forces, with the support of the Syrian opposition, launched the Euphrates Shield Operation against the IS militants and liberated the city of Jarabulus as well as the city of Al-Bab in northern Syria.

(MENAFN) The latest set of EU sanctions toward Russia might authorize member states to seize property owned by sanctioned Russians who refuse to sell it, according to a Finnish news agency's report on Tuesday.
These assets could potentially be unfrozen for a six-month period, allowing owners to list their properties located within the EU for sale.
Under discussion as part of the 12th package of sanctions currently under debate by EU lawmakers, these measures aim to assist Finnish authorities in gaining control of Helsinki's largest sports and events arena.
The Helsinki Halli, previously known as Hartwall Arena, is owned by Russian businessmen Gennady Timchenko, Arkady Rotenberg, and Boris Rotenberg.
It has remained closed since February 2022 due to sanctions against its billionaire owners. Officials in the Finnish capital have voiced concerns, stating a loss of over €100 million (approximately USD 110 million) annually due to the venue's inactivity.
In September, Kai Paananen, Timchenko's Finnish representative, informed the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper that the owners had agreed to sell the venue.
Recently, a Finnish tabloid cited sources within the country's Foreign Ministry, indicating that Helsinki plans to expedite efforts to seize the assets of the three Russian businessmen if they persist in refusing to sell.
Allegedly, the nationalization process is slated to commence in early 2024.

(MENAFN- Your Mind Media ) U.S. stock futures are relatively unchanged today as we enter the shortened Thanksgiving holiday week where Black Friday sales will test the pulse of the consumer-driven U.S. economy this week. This is coming after the major indices ended their third consecutive streak of positive performance, erasing an important part of the losses and nearing their peak highs from September. This performance was driven by a shift in sentiment due to a slowdown in U.S. inflation levels, leading markets to believe that the Federal Reserve may halt rate increases and potentially start cutting rates earlier next year. This change also raises the likelihood of a soft landing.
The real estate sector emerged as a strong-performing sector last week, buoyed by expectations of no further rate hikes and the possibility of early rate cuts. This could help lower mortgage rates, which have reached their highest point in over two decades, given the sector's sensitivity to interest rates.
Meanwhile, markets are evaluating the impact of the abrupt exit of OpenAI’s former CEO, Sam Altman, and other key executives on the future of the AI industry and its effect on technology stocks, particularly among large-cap companies like Microsoft. AI has played a crucial role in the growth and strong valuations within the semiconductor and technology sectors this year. Such a sudden development could influence market sentiment, although any impact might be transient, especially with rumors of a new CEO being appointed potentially. Additionally, Microsoft’s decision to appoint Sam Altman to its AI research department.

(MENAFN- NewsBytes) Often times, we see kids pretending to be police officers, running around with fake guns, and staging a play. Pon Manickavel reminded me of it. With no solid story and characters running like headless chickens toward nowhere, the film is nothing but a disappointment. More so for Prabhu Deva 's fans who were waiting to see him perform as an actor. Here's our review.
Significance Why does this story matter?
Prabhu Deva's recent films like Devi, Lakshmi, and Gulebagavali were pretty disastrous. When Pon Manickavel was announced, it naturally came as an exciting news for his fans. But is the film worse than Devi or Lakshmi? Well, YES! Directed by AC Mugil, the film has Nivetha Pethuraj as the leading lady, while Prabhakar plays a pivotal role. The film was released on Disney+ Hotstar .
Story The screenplay is predictable and has no exciting elements

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Incumbent mayor of Kyiv, former world heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has become the first Ukrainian inductedinto the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
This is reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration.
It is noted that the Klitschko brothers took part in the solemn ceremony in the town of Canastota (New York, USA).
"I would call it a fairy tale, which I did not even dream about. My name appeared next to the names of such legends as Muhammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson and others. There are millions of boxers in the world, thousands of world champions, but being among the world boxing legends is really amazing! Fight for your dream, work, never give up and do not stop. Then everything is possible," Klitschko said.
Klitschko also told his favorite story about how he promised his friends to win the belt of then-world champion Mike Tyson. Although no one believed this, and friends laughed at such a statement, Vitali Klitschko got the belt 18 years later.
Vitali Klitschko also thanked his younger brother, Wladimir, who came to support him at a solemn moment. "Together we are stronger. Together we have done much in the world boxing," he said.
Also inducted Sunday were four-division world champion Erik Morales and light middleweight champion Ronald 'Winky Wright, while Sid Terris was honored posthumously in the old-timer category.

Gold and silver lose sparkle
(MENAFN- ProactiveInvestors - Australia)
Gold lost some sparkle as investors took a cautious approach ahead of the Jackson Hole meeting on Friday.
New York gold futures for December delivery settled down 1.2% at US$1330 an ounce.
Silver fell 1.3% to US$18.50 an ounce.
Unless there is major recovery after the meeting, it puts gold on course for its first monthly decline since May.
Speculation over the timing of a US interest rate rise has been the main reason gold has slipped recently though it is still 25% higher year-to-date.
Markets are currently pricing in around a 20% chance of a rate rise next month with a rise in December being seen as an even bet.
A rate hike may be justified some Fed members have suggested if the US jobs markets continues to grow at the pace seen recently, though Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen is seen as being in the dovish camp.Yellen is a key note speaker at the meeting of central bankers in Wyoming. <

Annalena Baerbock was referring to the Council of the Baltic Sea

its“special military operation” in Ukraine two months ago.
Addressing a press briefing with Norwegian Foreign Minister

Trading volume for US spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs continues its upward momentum, notably with BlackRock's iShares ETF breaching the $1 billion mark in daily trading volume.
According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas's post on Mar. 2, there is a surge in trading volume for US spot BTC ETFs. Friday marked the third busiest trading day, closely behind Wednesday and Thursday.
So far this week, spot Bitcoin ETFs have been traded for $22 billion overall. The iShares Bitcoin ETF from BlackRock stands out because it trades more than $1 billion daily. This increase in trading activity has been accompanied by a notable increase in the value of BTC, which soared to $62,000, its highest level since November 2021.
BlackRock's $10 Billion Bitcoin ETF Success
According to Eric Balchunas, BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF now holds more than $10 billion in BTC, an essential factor for this success. This goal was met in only seven weeks since the ETF started trading. It is the fastest ETF ever to reach this goal.
Market experts stress the importance of the second Bitcoin ETF issuer hitting $10 billion. It is unclear who that may be or when this will happen.
On Jan. 10, the first BTC ETFs were approved for trading in the US. This was an important milestone forward for the cryptocurrency market and the crypto business as a whole.
Looking ahead, experts in the field are still optimistic about BTC's potential. They think the upcoming Bitcoin halving event will cause the price to increase even more.

(MENAFN- NewsBytes) One of the actors to have fans across India is none other than our very own Rebel Star Prabhas . He has a huge line-up of big budget projects and over half of those are being bankrolled by Bollywood's top producer Bhushan Kumar. Now, a report states that the actor's remuneration for his next films will be Rs. 150 crore, probably the highest in India.
Importance Why does this story matter?
When Baahubali released, we were left awestruck by Amarendra Baahubali's (Prabhas) valor. But the star's debut Bollywood film Saaho failed to impress critics. It was a financial success nonetheless, establishing Prabhas as one of the bankable actors. Naturally this translated to a high paycheck. Thus, his Spirit and Adipurush remuneration is above Rs. 100cr, becoming the third actor after Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan .
Quote 'Working with Prabhas is a matter of prestige today'
'Working with Prabhas is a matter of prestige given his unparalleled stardom. He's the third actor in the last 10 years to be paid upward of Rs. 100cr after Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar (who started charging Rs. 100cr from Bell Bottom ),' a source said.

(MENAFN- IANS) Vienna, March 4 (IANS) Several OPEC+ members have announced extensions of oil output cuts into the second quarter to support the "stability and balance of oil markets".
OPEC+ is an oil-producer group comprising member countries of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and their allies.
OPEC stated on Sunday night that its Secretariat "noted the announcements" of several OPEC+ countries extending additional voluntary cuts totalling 2.2 million barrels per day (bpd) for the second quarter of 2024, Xinhua news agency reported.
The reductions are taken from the quotas adopted at the OPEC+ ministerial meeting in June 2023. They are in addition to the voluntary output cuts announced by OPEC+ countries in April last year and later extended until the end of 2024, OPEC said.
In November last year, Saudi Arabia, Russia and several other OPEC+ countries announced voluntary production cuts totalling about 2.2 million bpd for the first quarter of this year.
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Energy said on Sunday that the country, the de facto leader of OPEC, would extend its voluntary production cut of 1 million bpd through the end of June. The country's oil production will be approximately 9 million bpd until the end of the second quarter, according to the ministry.
Russia, a leading OPEC ally, also announced voluntary cuts of 471,000 bpd from its crude production and exports for Q2, slightly lower than its cuts of 500,000 bpd in Q1.
Other OPEC+ countries, including Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria and Oman, also extended their voluntary production cuts into Q2.
However, the OPEC statement noted that these voluntary cuts "will be returned gradually subject to market conditions" to support market stability after June.
OPEC+ countries are set to convene a ministerial meeting in June to discuss production targets.

(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency)
Amman, May, 12 (Petra) -- The Aqaba Water Company (AW) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) on Thursday signed an agreement to implement the Fixed Amount Reimbursement Agreement (FARA) project, which aims to rehabilitate water networks in southern Jordan.
The $33.3-million project was signed by AW Director-General Khaled Al Obaidyn and Head of USAID Office of Water Resources and Environment Andrew Lecken.
Over the span of 4 years, the project will improve the infrastructure of water networks by increasing water supply capacity, decreasing water loss by 20 percent in southern areas compared to preliminary percentages, and supporting AW in raising the efficiency of water networks.
The Ministry of Water and Irrigation has recently endorsed a strategic plan, funded by the USAID, to reduce water loss to less than 25 percent, said Water Minister Mohamed Najjar, expressing appreciation of the continuous support by the United States government.
He noted that the USAID has donated $26.453 million with a contribution of $6.926 million by AW, thus boosting efforts to address water challenges in the Kingdom.
Secretary-General of the Water Authority of Jordan Bashar Bataineh explained that the deal includes prepping a new master plan in cooperation with AW for infrastructures in the south, conducting a hydraulic study to reduce water loss, and upping the capacity of the Disi water pipeline to 12 million cubic meters (mcm) per year to be able to take in water quantities provided by the National Water Carrier Project. However, in the first stage, water lines will pump some 7 mcm a year, Bataineh noted.
He added that a new water line will also be added, in addition to building a new pump station, rehabilitating four wells in Disi to enhance their productive capacity by 25 percent, reducing energy costs, improving measures of detecting water leaks, and installing new equipment, predicting to pump an additional 3 mcm to houses and reduce energy costs by 10 percent.
Thanks to projects implemented in cooperation with USAID, water loss in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZ) is expected to drop by 20 percent, providing 900,000 cm a year, he said.
The agreement comes within a series of similar deals signed by the USAID and the Ministry of Water to face water challenges in Jordan and support its water strategy for coming years.

(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Yemen's government said that it had complained to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) over the Houthi attack on the Mocha port, a newly refurbished commercial seaport in the country's southwestern part, Trend reports citing Xinhua.
According to a statement released by the state-run Saba News Agency, the government raised its concerns to the UNSC regarding the recent Houthi shelling of Mocha port with four missiles and three explosive-laden drones.
"The Houthi militia attacked the Mocha port shortly after the local authorities completed its rehabilitation in preparation for the resumption of receiving commercial goods and humanitarian aid to ease Yemenis suffering," Yemen's permanent representative to the UN, Abdullah Al-Saadi, said in a letter to the UNSC.
He said the attack was another example of the Houthi militia's "continuation in targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure in a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law."
He pointed out that "the Houthi attack deprived tens of thousands of families of receiving life-saving aid, and prevented aid and commercial goods from reaching millions of Yemenis and families in need through the port."
The government's letter to the UNSC indicated that "the Houthis deliberately exacerbate human suffering and push Yemen towards a looming famine."
The Houthi missile attack destroyed the port's warehouses containing large food stockpiles that belong to humanitarian agencies operating in Yemen's western coast areas, according to the government.
Meanwhile, an official of Yemen's government said that "the shelling of Mocha seaport sparked fears that similar Houthi missile attacks might target other ports in the country."
"The local authorities called on the Saudi-led coalition to secure the strategic port of Aden through deploying missile system to abort imminent Houthi attacks," the official said anonymously.
"The escalation of Houthi attacks on Yemen's seaports multiplies the threats of targeting the international shipping lines and oil ships in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait," according to the Yemeni official.
Last week, the Houthi militias targeted the port of Mocha, west of Taiz province, a few minutes after a visit by a high-level delegation from the Ministry of Transport, on the occasion of the resumption of work in the port, which had been suspended for years.
The pro-government forces captured Mocha on Yemen's western Red Sea coast after battles against the Houthis in 2017.
The Houthi rebels seized the northern Yemeni provinces, including the capital Sanaa, in late 2014, forcing President Abdu-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and his government into exile in neighboring Saudi Arabia.
A coalition formed by Saudi Arabia and several other Arab countries intervened militarily in the Yemeni conflict against the Houthis in March 2015, in response to an official request from Hadi to protect Yemen.

(MENAFN- KNN India) New Delhi, Apr 4 (KNN) India, the world's largest exporter of onions, has permitted limited exports of the vegetable to a few countries following diplomatic requests.
However, the overall ban on overseas onion shipments will continue due to projections of lower domestic output for two consecutive years.
The government has allowed exports of 50,000 tonnes to Bangladesh, 550 tonnes to Bhutan, 3,000 tonnes to Bahrain, 1,200 tonnes to Mauritius, and 14,400 tonnes to the UAE.
An official stated to HT that these nations traditionally rely on India for part of their onion supplies and some are immediate neighbours, hence the priority.
India's rabi (winter-grown) onion production for 2023-24 is estimated at 19.3 million tonnes, around 18 per cent lower than the previous season's 23.6 million tonnes.
Rabi onions contribute 72-75 per cent of India's annual output and are crucial for year-round availability due to their longer shelf life compared to kharif (summer) onions.
To build an emergency reserve of 500,000 tonnes for 2024-25, the government has started procuring onions from farmers at market rates from April 1.
The buffer stock will be used to stabilise supplies and prices. Last year, around 600,000 tonnes were procured and sold at subsidised rates to control soaring prices.
Onion is a highly volatile commodity in India due to its widespread use in cuisine and consumer sensitivity to price fluctuations.
The export ban in December 2023 followed a domestic supply crunch after a 40 per cent export tax failed to cool spiking prices.

(MENAFN- Bangladesh Monitor)
Riyadh : Riyadh Air, the new Saudi Arabian airline building a fleet from scratch, is close to an order for as many as 100 Boeing Co. 737 Max jets as the carrier adds short-haul aircraft to its lineup, according to people familiar with the matter.
The carrier, launched by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, is considering placing a firm orders for 50 jets along with a similar number of options as early as the Dubai Air Show that begins Monday, said the people, asking not to be named as the discussions are confidential.
Final discussions are ongoing, and the number could change slightly, the people said.
Riyadh Air is looking to build its network and challenge regional incumbents as part of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman's initiative to make Saudi Arabia's economy less dependent on oil. Mohammed Bin Salman has ambitions to turn Riyadh into a powerful business hub and compete with larger Gulf airlines for global transfer traffic.
The deal, if announced, would mark another win for Boeing, after the US manufacturer already agreed on a purchase with Riyadh for as many as 72 787 wide-body aircraft in March. Riyadh went with Boeing again on its single-aisle purchase partly because Airbus SE isn't able to provide any delivery slots near term for its competing A320 family, which is largely sold out for the remainder of the decade, some of the people said.
Representatives for Boeing and Riyadh Air declined to comment on the talks. The biennial Dubai Air Show kicks off on Monday, with airlines including local champion Emirates expected to announce major aircraft orders.
Douglas said in an interview last week that his airline was working on a "sizable" purchase of single-aisle aircraft sourced from one manufacturer, without disclosing which model the carrier had picked.

Manila, July 1 (IANS) Philippine authorities on Thursday raised the alert level for Taal volcano, located near capital Manila, to 3 on a scale of 5 it showed "magmatic unrest".
"At 3.16 p.m., the Taal volcano's main crater generated a short-lived dark phreatomagmatic plume 1 km-high with no accompanying volcanic earthquake," the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said in a statement.
The institute said it decided to raise the alert level from 2 to 3 after the plume emission, reports Xinhua news agency.
"This means that there is a magmatic intrusion at the main crater that may further drive succeeding eruptions," it said.
The institute urged the villagers on the island volcano and in high-risk surrounding villages to evacuate "due to the possible hazards of pyroclastic density currents and volcanic tsunami".
The institute further urged the villagers living around the Taal lakeshore to take precautionary measures and be vigilant, reminding them that the island is a permanent danger zone.
Taal volcano, one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines, last erupted in January 2020.
The last eruption displaced nearly 380,000 villagers and destroyed many farms, houses and roads in the province.
