PeopleStrategy, Lighthouse Research & NAAAHR-Atlanta to Hold Anti-Racism Forum

EDISON, N.J., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The senseless deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and countless others have served as a vivid reminder that the reality for Black Americans has remained largely unchanged since the beginning of our country’s history, despite past efforts. We also have been reminded of the vast inequities and deep-rooted biases that continue to marginalize people…

It is time for change. It is time for unity. It is time for justice. It is time for true equality. It is time to do the work.

PeopleStrategy is committed to doing the work to help bring about change that will help to end social and racial injustice and inequality, and here is how we intend to demonstrate our commitment.

We Will Support Our Communities

We have started to build an external strategy to demonstrate our commitment and support for the communities we serve. As a benefits broker and HR technology provider, employers and, more specifically, HR and benefits professionals, are the biggest community we serve.

Recognizing that HR and business leaders may be struggling to know where to begin when it comes to building an actively anti-racist workplace, PeopleStrategy is planning a live virtual event, «Going Beyond Diversity & Inclusion: an Open Forum on Anti-Racism.» The goal of this event is to provide a forum that facilitates open, honest and uncomfortable conversations. We believe that is a critical first step toward real and meaningful change.

To help maximize our reach and provide the most valuable experience possible, PeopleStrategy has joined forces with the Atlanta chapter of the National Association of African Americans in Human Resources and Ben Eubanks, principal analyst at Lighthouse Research & Advisory. Daily sessions will feature panelists who can provide real-life experience, expert guidance and thought-provoking dialogue on race, systemic racism, social injustice, unconscious bias, microaggressions, hiring practices, and much more.

For more information or to register, visit: https://www.peoplestrategy.com/AntiracismForum

This will be the launching pad for similar events and activities to help sustain the momentum we currently see throughout our country.

We Will Support Our PeopleStrategy Family

We are executing an internal strategy to facilitate awareness, communication and education (FACE) among the PeopleStrategy family about the issues confronting our nation today. Known as FACE, this team is evaluating a variety of methods by which we can become a workplace where every employee feels equally respected, valued and supported.

We Will Honor Our Commitment

PeopleStrategy reaffirms our commitment to conduct business in a way that reflects not only Integrity but also: Equality & Justice, Diversity & Inclusion, Solidarity & Unity and Empathy & Compassion.

Stellar Pulsations Distribute Key Ingredient for Life

COLUMBIA, Md., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — As Carl Sagan famously said, «We’re made of star stuff» — but how do stars distribute their essential «stuff» for life into space? NASA’s telescope on an airplane, SOFIA, is finding some answers by watching pulsating stars as they expand and contract, almost like beating hearts.

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, examined several types of pulsating stars in our Milky Way galaxy, watching…

The Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, SOFIA, examined several types of pulsating stars in our Milky Way galaxy, watching as some spewed carbon, into interstellar space.Carbon is created deep inside stars through the process of helium fusion. As stars evolve, this carbon can get dredged up to the surface. But it must be forced into space for it to become a building block of life as we know it.

SOFIA found that some Mira stars, late-stage red giants with especially powerful pulsations, can drive strong stellar winds that eject carbon-rich gas and dust out into interstellar space. On the other hand, stars with much weaker pulsations called semiregular stars, can’t push the wind out as effectively. The Mira Stars are therefore responsible for distributing large amounts of carbon into the universe. The research was published in The Astrophysical Journal.

«We know that essential chemicals like carbon come from stars,» said Kathleen Kraemer, a scientist at Boston College and lead author of the study. «But these strong pulsations help explain how carbon moves away from stars to where it can evolve into more complex structures, which in the case of Earth, ultimately became DNA — life.»

Previous research observed pulsating stars in other galaxies, like the Large Magellanic Cloud, but this research with SOFIA provides new insights into how carbon gets distributed in our own Milky Way galaxy.

ABOUT SOFIA

SOFIA, the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, is a Boeing 747SP jetliner modified to carry a 106-inch diameter telescope. It is a joint project of NASA and the German Aerospace Center, DLR. NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley manages the SOFIA program, science and mission operations in cooperation with the Universities Space Research Association headquartered in Columbia, Maryland, and the German SOFIA Institute (DSI) at the University of Stuttgart. The aircraft is maintained and operated from NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center Building 703, in Palmdale, California.

Protecting California rangeland provides $1 billion in environmental benefits annually, according to UC Berkeley and California Rangeland Trust

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Working lands conservation by California’s largest land trust annually provides between $900 million to $1.44 billion in environmental benefits — including habitat, carbon sequestration, food and watersheds, according to a new

The study, conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, examined 306,718 acres of California Rangeland Trust’s conservation easements across the state to explore both the environmental and monetary value of preserving California’s open spaces.

«This study demonstrates the importance of caring for and stewarding California’s land, so that it can serve our communities in return,» said California Rangeland Trust CEO Michael Delbar. «Conserving the state’s open spaces and rangelands isn’t just about ranching. It’s about investing in environmental services that will benefit Californians now and into the future.»

Employing a comprehensive literature review of ecosystem services and a global average of the monetary value of environmental services per acre, the study reports conservation easements—an agreement between a landowner and a qualified land trust regarding the future uses of private property—return up to $3.47 for every dollar invested under current zoning requirements, further emphasizing the long-term benefits of land conservation.

«Our research found there is immense economic value in ecosystem services provided to society through rangeland conservation,» said Lynn Huntsinger, professor of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management at UC Berkeley, «The study further underscores how protecting California’s working landscapes provides us with food, clean water, fire protection and many more vital benefits.»

Since 1984, more than 1.4 million acres of land in California have been converted from agricultural to other uses—78 percent of which has been lost to urban development.

The study’s findings estimate that conservation efforts by California Rangeland Trust provide ecosystem services valued at more than $236 million in food and $13.9 million in water annually. Similarly, California Rangeland Trust’s conservation supports $250.6 million in the maintenance of biodiversity, nearly $100 million in habitat lifecycle production, and $28.5 million in recreation opportunities annually to the state.

«The data is clear – conserving rangeland is a smart investment as Californians look for ways to protect our environment,» said Delbar.

Using conservation easements as a tool, the California Rangeland Trust seeks to balance against the demands of urban and land use planning and ensure local food, water and habitat security in communities across the state.

The California Rangeland Trust is an organization by and for ranchers committed to preserving California’s open spaces and supporting cleaner, healthier communities for Californians. The Trust has permanently protected more than 340,000 acres of land in California since 1998 through conservation easements.

The California Rangeland Trust, a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, was created to conserve the open space, natural habitat and stewardship provided by California’s ranches. To date, the Rangeland Trust has protected more than 342,815 Acres of productive grazing lands across the state through the use of conservation easements.

Deadline Reminder: The Law Offices of Howard G. Smith Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against J2 Global, Inc. (JCOM)

BENSALEM, Pa., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Law Offices of Howard G. Smith reminds investors of the upcoming September 8, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of investors who purchased J2 Global, Inc. («J2» or «the Company») (NASDAQ: JCOM) securities between October 5, 2015 and June 29, 2020, inclusive (the «Class Period»)….

Investors suffering losses on their J2 investments are encouraged to contact the Law Offices of Howard G. Smith to discuss their legal rights in this class action at 888-638-4847 or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com.

On June 30, 2020 Hindenburg Research released a report claiming «J2’s opaque acquisition approach has opened the door to egregious insider self-enrichment, which we approximate totals $117 million to $172 million based on publicly available information.» Hindenburg Research alleges, «We uncovered that J2 acquired a newly formed entity based out of its own VP of Corporate Development’s personal residence for an estimated $20 million. The entity had undefined ‘intellectual property’ and no employees or apparent assets. No conflict was disclosed.» The research report also claimed that, «Despite J2’s proxy describing all but one of its board members as ‘independent,’ we found decades of intertwined financial interests between board members and executives, calling that independence into question.»

On this news, the Company’s share price fell $6.29, or over 9%, to close at $63.21 per share on June 30, 2020, thereby injuring investors.

The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company’s business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that J2 Global engaged in undisclosed related party transactions; (2) that J2 Global used misleading accounting to hide requisite impairments and underperformance in acquisitions; (3) that several so-called independent members of the Company’ board of directors and audit committee were not disinterested; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired J2 securities, you may move the Court no later than September 8, 2020, to ask the Court to appoint you as lead plaintiff if you meet certain legal requirements. To be a member of the class action you need not take any action at this time; you may retain counsel of your choice or take no action and remain an absent member of the class action. If you wish to learn more about this class action, or if you have any questions concerning this announcement or your rights or interests with respect to these matters, please contact Howard G. Smith, Esquire, of Law Offices of Howard G. Smith, 3070 Bristol Pike, Suite 112, Bensalem, Pennsylvania 19020 by telephone at (215) 638-4847, toll-free at (888) 638-4847, or by email to howardsmith@howardsmithlaw.com, or visit our website at www.howardsmithlaw.com.
