JAKARTA, Indonesia, Nov. 21, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil marked a special milestone at its Annual Roundtable conference (RT2023), themed “Partners for the Next 20”, to reflect on nearly two decades of impact made possible through the collaborative efforts of RSPO’s Members and partners. RT2023 presented an opportunity to take unified action on the core challenges facing the sustainable palm oil industry, including mitigating climate change, increasing uptake of certified sustainable palm oil (CSPO), protecting labour rights, and facilitating greater smallholder inclusion in green supply chains through compliance with emerging international regulations.

For nearly twenty years, the RSPO has facilitated global change to make the production and consumption of palm oil sustainable. Starting from 200 members from 16 countries in 2004, RSPO now counts more than 5,700 members in over 100 countries and territories spanning the globe.

In his opening remarks, RSPO CEO Joseph D’Cruz said, “Through nearly two decades of voluntary action, RSPO Members have banded together to raise the bars of sustainability within the industry. The impact we have collectively achieved is increasingly being acknowledged by stakeholders outside our industry, and we are seeing a definite shift in the sustainable palm oil narrative in our favour. As a global partnership to make palm oil sustainable, we must ride this trajectory and continue to evolve and pursue new territory. There is room now for us to move beyond a standard and certification system and develop tools that would enable the industry to demonstrate sustainability in the way that markets, regulators and customers demand today.”

Opening Speech

RSPO’s key achievements over the last two decades were highlighted, including the increase in global certified area from just 125,000 hectares in 2008 to 4.9 million hectares across 23 countries in 2023. Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) supply reached a new milestone at 15.4 million metric tonnes, while RSPO Trademark licences have increased significantly to more than 1,600 licences in over 100 countries and territories, with growth seen in China, Japan and Southeast Asia, signalling significant opportunities in these markets. The RSPO Smallholder Support Fund (RSSF) has provided US$4.2 million in funding to support 44,203 farmers in 12 countries since 2013. Accounting for 40% of total palm oil production output in key producing countries, smallholders featured strongly at RT2023, focused on opportunities and pathways to facilitate greater inclusion in green supply chains through compliance with emerging international regulations.

‫XOOX، أول خدمة تواصل شبكي للحيوانات الأليفة (PNS) تلفت الأنظار لدى تدشينها

– تشتهر الخدمة بتحديات المحتوى المختصر وموسيقى الحيوانات الأليفة وتطبيق مجموعة تشخيص الأمراض، وغيرها.

– توفير خدمة جديدة مع تسجيل مُعرف الهوية باستخدام أعين الحيوانات الأليفة

نيويورك، 21 نوفمبر 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — يشتمل تطبيق خدمة التواصل الشبكي للحيوانات الأليفة، XOOX، على تحديات المحتوى المختصر، وقد تم تدشين التطبيق هذا الشهر واستقطب ملاك الحيوانات الأليفة على مستوى العالم. بدأ تطبيق XOOX تقديم خدماته من خلال إعلان في ميدان نيويورك تايمز، يؤكد على تركيزه الحصري على أصدقائنا من الحيوانات الأليفة ذات الأربعة أرجل.

يعمل تطبيق XOOX بشكل فريد بموجب حسابات حيوانات أليفة من خلال عملية تسجيل معرفات الحيوانات الأليفة التي ابتكرتها فرق الأبحاث والذكاء الاصطناعي العالمية لدى XOOX، بما في ذلك الخبراء البيطريين على مستوى العالم، باستخدام أساليب بيومترية للتعرف على الهوية، مثل أنماط الجفون وتجعدات العيون. وبهذه المناسبة، قال فريق أبحاث XOOX “من خلال مُعرف هوية الحيوانات الأليفة، يتم التعرف على الحيوانات الأليفة باعتبارها مستخدمة للحسابات على XOOX، مما يسمح لها بالانخراط في العديد من الأنشطة، مثل تسجيل الحيوانات الأليفة والتأمين وإدارة الصحة وتكوين الصداقات”، وأضاف “ومن أجل تعزيز دقة التسجيل البيومتري، قمنا باعتماد طريقة متقدمة بخطوة على طباعة الأنف والمسح الضوئي للحدقية”.

ومن خلال تطبيق XOOX، تصبح الحيوانات الأليفة مؤثرة من خلال معرفات الهوية الخاصة بكل منها، مما يعزز المعرفة بها عبر مشاركة حياتها اليومية واستقطاب المتابعين والمشاركة في تحديات المحتوى المختصر. وهي تكسب نقاطًا من خلال مختلف الأنشطة، قابلة للاستخدام في التطبيقات المتصلة، من أجل إنشاء الأفاتار ومشتريات المنتجات. يعمل ملاك الحيوانات الأليفة، والمعروفون كذلك باسم البتلر، على إدارة معرفات هوية حيواناتهم الأليفة ودعمها في أنشطتها. يرحب تطبيق XOOX بالأفراد الذين لا يملكون حيوانات أليفة ويشجعهم على الانضمام كذلك، مما يعمل على تعزيز التحول الإيجابي تجاه الحيوانات الأليفة. غير أن نشر المحتوى ليس خاصية متاحة لهم في هذا الوقت. وفي معرض تعليقه على هذه المناسبة، قال Peter Kim المستشار الفني في XOOX “يهدف تطبيق XOOX إلى إيجاد مساحة إيجابية حيث يستطيع الأشخاص المعاصرون الهروب من الواقع المعقد والتواصل مع حيواناتهم الأليفة”. وأضاف Kim “سوف يسمح XOOX للحيوانات الأليفة بإيجاد المزيد من الذكريات مع ملاك الحيوانات الأليفة عبر استخدام مناهج السرد والخدمات الفريدة والتعريفية”.

يشتمل عالم XOOX على الكثير من المحتوى الحصري للحيوانات الأليفة. ويتيح تطبيق الموسيقى الأكثر شعبية (XOOX M) لملاك الحيوانات الأليفة اختيار الموسيقى المناسبة لتفضيلات الحيوانات الأليفة. وقد تم تصميم هذا التطبيق، الذي تم قامت على تطويره شركة تطوير المحتوى الموسيقي التابعة لـXOOX وهي Jo studios (ورئيسها التنفيذي: Woojin Cho)، للحيوانات الأليفة التي تنتظر ملاكها ويستضيف حاليًا أكثر من 3,000 أغنية. يمكن لملاك الحيوانات الأليفة كذلك إنشاء محتوى الموسيقى الخاص بهم وتحميله وكسب النقاط مقابل الشهرة، ويمكنهم إنفاق تلك النقاط على حيواناتهم الأليفة. يضمن XOOX M تجربة استماع صديقة للحيوانات الأليفة مع مستوى ديسيبل مريح.

وبالإضافة إلى ذلك، يجري حاليًا العمل على تطوير منتج بواسطة شركة Push Pull System (ورئيسها التنفيذي: Sungmyon Song). ومن خلال تحليل أساليب التعلم العميق والاستفادة منها، فإن ذلك سيحدد ما إذا كانت الحيوانات الأليفة تستمتع حقًا بالموسيقى ولا تعتبرها ضوضاءً. سوف ينسجم المنتج بشكل سلس مع كاميرات وميكرفونات الحيوانات الأليفة، مما يوفر توصيات موسيقية مخصصة لحيواناتك الأليفة.

وبصفتك مالك حيوانات أليفة، يستحق الأمر أن تبدي الاهتمام بالحملة الحالية للترويج للتطبيق. وفي سبيل الاحتفاء بالتدشين، توزع XOOX نحو 10,000 مجموعة اختبار بول مجانية على مالكي الحسابات على مستوى العالم. توفر مجموعات الاختبار هذه طريقة سهلة لاكتشاف الأمراض من خلال بول الحيوانات، مما يجعلها مثالية للحيوانات الأليفة في المناطق ذات إمكانية الوصول المحدودة للرعاية البيطرية، مما يساعد في الحفاظ على رفاهية حيواناتك الأليفة المحبوبة.

وعلاوة على ذلك، واستنادًا إلى تدشين تطبيق مجموعات تشخيص أمراض الحيوانات الأليفة عن طريق البول باستخدام Medi Cloud، وهي شركة تحليلات جينية عالمية تعتمد على تقنية NGS، سوف تدشن XOOX كذلك تطبيقات تربط بين الحمض النووي للحيوانات الأليفة DNA واختبار تحليل الشخصية MBTI.

يتم التبرع بسنت واحد تلقائيًا إلى مؤسسة XOOX لدى التسجيل. وسوف يتم توجيه هذه المساهمات إلى الحملات على مستوى العالم التي تهدف إلى التأثير إيجابيًا على التشريعات المرتبطة بالحيوانات الأليفة. ومن خلال قيام XOOX بتمكين الحيوانات الأليفة للنهوض بدور محوري في عالمنا، ثمة إيمان قوي بأنه سيسهم بقوة في إيجاد بيئة أكثر دعمًا وملاءمة للحيوانات الأليفة.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Be wise in selecting counsel.

Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) because of the effect of inflationary pressures on the cost of construction and power, the Company and Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems (“UAMPS”) would be unable to sign up enough subscribers to fulfill the Carbon Free Power Project (the “CFPP”); (2) Standard Power did not have the financial ability to support its agreement with NuScale; and (3) as a result, defendants’ positive statements about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

ROSEN, RECOGNIZED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Adobe Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – ADBE

NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds behalf of purchasers of common stock of Adobe Inc. (NASDAQ: ADBE) between July 23, 2021 and September 15, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important December 19, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Adobe common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Adobe class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=20021 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 19, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, Defendants falsely downplayed competition from Figma, which provides a simple web-based tool for designing user interfaces, and misleadingly suggested that Adobe’s existing offerings were adequate to counter any harms the Company may have otherwise faced due to Figma’s growing market position. As a result, certain statements were materially false and misleading because they failed to disclose that: (1) Figma was growing its market share and was becoming a leader in user experience design; (2) Figma was in direct competition with Adobe on user experience design; (3) Adobe’s product “Express” was not an effective counter to Figma’s growing market share in bringing new customers to Adobe’s paid offerings; (4) Adobe’s other offerings were not succeeding in competing with Figma on user experience design; and (5) Adobe was losing market share to Figma. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

After visiting China, Arab Islamic committee visits Russia, meets Foreign Minister Lavrov

After visiting China and meeting its foreign minister, the Arab-Islamic ministerial committee met today with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the Russian capital, Moscow, to discuss the situation in the Gaza Strip.

The Ministerial Committee seeks to push for a ceasefire and protect civilians in the Gaza Strip, allow the entry of humanitarian relief efforts, and find a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue based on the results of the Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh.

Lavrov said at the beginning of the meeting that Russia shares the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s assessment of the necessity of a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. ‘We call for the immediate start of preparations to resume the negotiation process regarding the establishment of a Palestinian state,” he said.

He pointed out that it is clear that the amount of humanitarian aid provided to the Gaza Strip is insufficient.

Lavrov explained that the reason for the failure of the International Quartet for the Middle East p
eace process to carry out its tasks was the lack of representatives from the Arab world, stressing the need to represent the countries of the region in developing mechanisms to end the conflict.

The Arab Islamic ministerial committee is headed by Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan. It includes Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Riyad Malki, Jordanian Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs Ayman Safadi, Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri, Indonesian Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi, and Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation Hussein Ibrahim Taha.

The members of the ministerial committee stressed the importance of members of the Security Council and the international community taking effective and urgent measures to immediately stop the aggression in the Gaza Strip, stressing that this is a priority for all Arab and Islamic countries.

They stressed the importance of immediately lifting the siege imposed on the Gaza Strip, releasing prisoners and hostages, and reactivat
ing a serious and just peace process that enjoys the support of international legitimacy.

The members of the Ministerial Committee called on the international community to fulfill its responsibilities by rejecting all forms of selectivity in applying international legal and moral standards and turning a blind eye to the heinous crimes committed by the Israeli occupation forces against defenseless Palestinian civilians, and the occupation’s violations against the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including Jerusalem.

They also pointed out that the Israeli occupation’s continued violations of the rules of international law, and non-compliance with international legitimacy resolutions, the latest of which was the Security Council resolution last week, weaken the legitimacy of the international system, the credibility of its defenders, and its ability to maintain peace, security, and regional stability in the future. It also fuels the motives of extremism and violence.

The members of the Ministerial Committee stre
ssed the importance of immediately allowing the delivery of humanitarian aid, food, water, fuel and electricity to Gaza, which is a moral and legal responsibility for the entire international community, noting that depriving the people of Gaza of the basic requirements of life is a clear violation of international humanitarian law, especially the Fourth Geneva Convention.
