The Hidden Genius Project Youth Tech Program Expands to Los Angeles Following Success in Oakland and Richmond

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The following impact statement is from Kayla Mason, Los Angeles Site Director and Brandon Nicholson, Executive Director:

Twenty years ago, five Black male technologists discovered their genius in high school as

OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The following impact statement is from Kayla Mason, Los Angeles Site Director and Brandon Nicholson, Executive Director:

Twenty years ago, five Black male technologists discovered their genius in high school as Ron Brown Scholars. After college, they joined forces to launch The Hidden Genius Project in Oakland and Richmond, California which since 2012 has supported nearly 7,000 young leaders worldwide. Like Ron Brown Scholars, our Geniuses are building a lifelong network to leverage their collective power to transform their lives and communities.

It is with great excitement that we announce The Hidden Genius Project’s commitment to the ongoing struggle for Black liberation is now operating in Los Angeles.

Despite the uncertain terrain of navigating a global pandemic and civil unrest over state violence, The Hidden Genius Project is equipping young people with technology, business, and leadership skills they can leverage to make that liberation a reality.

We recently expanded our work—including our Intensive Immersion Program—from the Bay Area to Los Angeles and virtually launched our inaugural cohort last month. We are committed to building partnerships with a broad array of community stakeholders in LA (including families, community leaders, educators, etc.), meet local creatives and entrepreneurs grounded in local ownership, and work with storytellers to elevate the voices of our Los Angeles Geniuses.

Before we arrived at The Hidden Genius Project, our Los Angeles team worked in education reform targeted at improving the quality of life for young people of color. We recognized that systemic inequities and false narratives perpetuated the perception of Black communities and young Black men. Through our work today, we are excited to be a part of LA’s caring and effective network of organizations and people who believe we all stand to benefit from the empowerment of those of us who have most acutely suffered from opportunity inaccessibility.

Our LA team’s backgrounds in school education reform, program evaluation, grassroots organizing, and holistic youth development has prepared us to lead this work to empower our young people. More significantly, our entire team at The Hidden Genius Project is driven by an unflinching belief in our young people, their potential, and their ability not only to achieve their dreams, but to lead us to achieve ours. Finally, we fully believe in our work as a strategy rooted in targeted universalism: that the energy we pour into our Black male youth continually radiates to have a positive impact on our society more broadly.

We are excited to join a dynamic Los Angeles ecosystem of community leaders, and we invite you to be a part of our story to build this work together.

In Partnership,

Kayla Mason

Los Angeles Site Director

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Technology solution providers, managed services providers (MSPs) and other organizations searching for critical cybersecurity threat intelligence have a new resource available from CompTIA.

The nonprofit association for the global information technology (IT) industry today launched the CompTIA ISAO (Information Sharing and Analysis Organization) to serve as the focal point for dealing with cyber-threats to technology vendors, MSPs, solution providers, integrators, distributors, and business technology consultants.

«We are in a time of unprecedented and malicious hacking activity, much of which is targeted specifically at technology product, service and solution companies,» said MJ Shoer, executive director of the CompTIA ISAO. «Many of these companies had no other option but to go it alone in defending against these threats.

«We intend to change the cybersecurity landscape by bringing together the know-how and power of the industry to deliver timely, relevant, actionable threat intelligence that companies can use to protect themselves and more importantly, keep their customers safe and secure.»

The CompTIA ISAO evolved from the TSP-ISAO established in August 2019 by technology entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Arnie Bellini in conjunction with ConnectWise, the leading business automation software company he co-founded. Management and operations of the TSP-ISAO were transferred earlier this year to CompTIA, a vendor-neutral, member-led trade association.

Bellini Capital, ConnectWise, Dark Cubed, Sophos, and Axcient and were announced as industry partners of the CompTIA ISAO today.

A dedicated group of cybersecurity subject matter experts from ADT, Alvaka Networks, Atlas Cybersecurity, Cyjax, Skout Cybersecurity, SolarWinds, Triada Networks, Verizon and WeaponEyes are also working with the CompTIA ISAO.

Additionally, innovative partnerships have been forged with the Information Technology-Information Sharing and Analysis Center (IT-ISAC) and TruSTAR to build out the threat intelligence feed and custom reporting that will serve as the backbone of the CompTIA ISAO. This ensures that members will receive critical, targeted, real-time information in a way that’s easy to understand and act upon.

«Raising the cybersecurity resilience of the industry is important for everyone,» Shoer explained. «This is how, together, we will fight back against this existential threat and do the right thing for our industry and the global economy.»

The CompTIA ISAO is dedicated to advancing the cybersecurity resiliency of the global technology industry. It is a resource where organizations in the business of technology can share real-time threat intelligence, analysis of potential impacts, coordinated countermeasure response efforts, cybersecurity best-practice adoption, and workforce education.

NASA Astronaut Aboard Space Station Answers STEM Students’ Questions

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Students participating in Space Station Explorers STEM programs across the nation will pose questions this week to NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy aboard the

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Students participating in Space Station Explorers STEM programs across the nation will pose questions this week to NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy aboard the International Space Station. The educational downlink event will air live at 12:45 p.m. EDT Friday, Aug. 7, on NASA Television and the agency’s website.

Cassidy will answer prerecorded questions from students participating in Space Station Explorers STEM programs through the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space, the organization tasked by NASA to manage U.S. National Laboratory research on the space station. The organization works to bring value to America, enable a sustainable commercial research market in low-Earth orbit, and to engage and inspire the next generation of explorers.

The Earth-to-space call serves as the kickoff to the Celebrating Station Science series, which will connect students and educators to 20 years of space station experiments and research through monthly themes with K-12 STEM resources and the career paths of NASA astronauts, scientists, and engineers as they share their stories. Each month during the 2020-2021 school year, educators may use lesson plans, information on space station experiments, and various space station resources to excite the Artemis Generation of explorers.

Linking students directly to astronauts aboard the space station provides unique, authentic experiences designed to enhance student learning, performance, and interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Astronauts living in space on the orbiting laboratory communicate with NASA’s Mission Control Center in Houston 24 hours a day through the Space Network’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellites (TDRS).

For nearly 20 years, astronauts have continuously lived and work on the space station, testing technologies, performing science and developing the skills needed to explore farther from Earth. Through NASA’s Artemis program, the agency will send astronauts to the Moon by 2024, with eventual human exploration of Mars. Inspiring the next generation of explorers – the Artemis Generation – ensures America will continue to lead in space exploration and discovery.

Glancy Prongay & Murray Reminds Investors of Looming Deadline in the Class Action Lawsuit Against Kingold Jewelry, Inc. (KGJI)

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP («GPM») reminds investors of the upcoming August 31, 2020 deadline to file a lead plaintiff motion in the class action filed on behalf of Kingold Jewelry, Inc. («Kingold» or «the Company») (NASDAQ: KGJI) securities between March 15, 2018 and June 28, 2020, inclusive (the «Class Period»).

If you suffered a loss on your Kingold investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/kingold-jewelry-inc/. You can also contact Charles H. Linehan, of GPM at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, or via email at shareholders@glancylaw.com to learn more about your rights.

On June 29, 2020, multiple news outlets reported that Kingold may have used counterfeit gold as collateral to secure loans from more than a dozen Chinese financial institutions.

On this news, Kingold’s share price fell $0.27 per share, or more than 24%, to close at $0.85 per share on June 29, 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 Kingold used fake gold as collateral to fraudulently secure loans; (2) that consequently, the Company would face creditor lawsuits and be delisted from the Shanghai Gold Exchange; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

If you purchased or otherwise acquired Kingold securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than August 31, 2020 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit. 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 the pending class action lawsuit, please contact Charles Linehan, Esquire, of GPM, 1925 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, California 90067 at 310-201-9150, Toll-Free at 888-773-9224, by email to shareholders@glancylaw.com, or visit our website at www.glancylaw.com.

Quebec Export of Electricity to the United States – The moment of truth for Pessamit and Wemotaci First Nations

QUEBEC CITY, Aug. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – The Canadian Innu First Nation of Pessamit and the Atikamekw First Nation of Wemotaci (Province of Quebec) are joining forces to put an end to the stranglehold of the Quebec government and Hydro-Québec on their traditional territories. They mean to obtain compensation for production facilities, reservoirs and transmission lines set up without their consent by threatening to derail a project to run a high-voltage transmission line through Maine to Massachusetts.

Currently, 36% of the total hydroelectric power installed by Hydro-Québec comes from Innu, Atikamekw and Anishnabeg traditional territories, protected by ancestral and treaty rights that have never been respected. In total, 33 production structures, 130 dams and dikes, 10,400 km² of reservoirs, tens of thousands of kilometres of transmission, distribution and road lines have been illegally installed. These facilities continue to be operated by Hydro-Québec in violation of the rights recognized by the Constitution Act of 1982 and the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of Canada.

At the Cost of Others
For nearly a century, six Innu, Atikamekw and Anishnabeg communities have borne the brunt of successive hydroelectric developments that have allowed Quebec to industrialize and the majority of its citizens to access a better quality of life. Conversely, these successive and massive hydroelectric developments on their traditional territories have never translated into a better quality of life for the members of the communities most directly and negatively impacted. Quite the contrary! All internationally recognized well-being indicators are largely unfavourable for them compared to the entire population of Quebec and are comparable to those of third world countries.

A Suspended Sentence
The most recent legal episode in the Quebec government’s crusade to evade the ancestral rights of the First Nations ended in 1996. The Supreme Court of Canada then definitively put an end to Quebec’s claims that First Nations had no ancestral rights over the territory of the province. The illegitimate position of the government of Quebec nevertheless gave it enough time to de facto dispossess First Nations of their traditional territories. This rejection in the Supreme Court did not, however, convince Quebec to apply the necessary corrective measures. Since then, successive provincial governments have embarked on a strategy of perpetually delaying enforcement of the Supreme Court ruling. In doing so, Quebec scandalously self-awarded itself a suspended sentence.

Sand in the Gears
According to Chiefs René Simon of Pessamit and François Néashit of Wemotaci: «The First Nations directly affected by the odious regime imposed by Quebec with the complicity of the government of Canada, now have an important lever capable of establishing the rule of law, right where state brutality has always prevailed. Now is the time for our two communities to put up a concerted resistance to what is morally, legally and constitutionally indefensible! We intend to come down directly on the revenues that the government and Hydro-Québec expect to generate with their project to run a high-voltage line with a capacity of 1200 MW through the northeast of the United States.» It should be remembered in this regard that Hydro-Québec has a significant energy surplus that cannot be absorbed by internal consumption. From a business standpoint, then, it’s no wonder that the crown corporation is looking to improve its performance by selling power in the northeastern US. In this context, the weakening of the profit objective imposed by the state-owned company in its five-year 2020 to 2024 plan ($16.1 billion) could have the consequence of encouraging Quebec to review its position regarding First Nations.

The Route Through Maine
Hydro-Québec’s intentions in the United States are far from being unanimously supported there. In 2018, when Hydro-Québec was awarded the contract to deliver 9.45 TWh of energy to Massachusetts via the Northern Pass transmission line that was to cross New Hampshire from North to South, the Innu First Nation of Pessamit closely coordinated its action with regulatory bodies and American opponents of this project. Pessamit then assumed a leading role with the American media and various non-Native and Native American political bodies. In July 2019, after having exhausted all its legal options, the promoter saw its project definitively rejected by the Supreme Court of New Hampshire. Pessamit was instrumental in the termination of Northern Pass. After this resounding and still very recent failure, Hydro-Québec is now banking on the New England Clean Energy Connect (NECEC) project to honour its contract with Massachusetts. The state-owned company plans to run its electricity through Maine instead of New Hampshire, in order to reach Massachusetts. But history could repeat itself.

What We Are Demanding
Our First Nations cannot allow Hydro-Québec to financially benefit from our heritage without openly taking part in the debate in Maine about NECEC. After a century of denial on the part of the Quebec government, our communities have an unexpected opportunity to see our rights on their ancestral territories respected. We will resolutely seize this opportunity to force the settlement that has always been denied. The government of Quebec and Hydro-Québec have never had and still do not have the moral and constitutional legitimacy to operate 33 of the 63 hydroelectric production structures since they have never consulted and compensated the First Nations concerned. They have even less right to sell electricity in the United States when 13,200 MW, or 36% of the installed capacity in Quebec out of a total of 36,700 MW, has been usurped from the said First Nations. And if the government turns a deaf ear, Pessamit and Wemotaci will do their utmost to derail the project and ensure a resounding NO to NECEC!
