NEW YORK, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Some of them are well known and iconic, and others are lesser known, but all of the women highlighted in Little Giants: 10 Hispanic Women Who Made History fought for the rights of those who had no voice.

Author Raynelda A. Calderon, a native of the Dominican Republic, works as a public librarian. In the introduction to the book, Ms. Calderon describes her attempts to find a children’s anthology about the lives of notable Hispanic women who impacted Latin America. In finding nothing of the sort, she decided to take on the project of writing one herself.

Her desire for such a book to exist is twofold: firstly, to tell the largely untold stories of Latin American women without whom, she says in the book’s introduction, Latin America would not be the free and rich continent it is today; secondly, to inspire young readers to follow their passions and to never take «no» for an answer. The author describes Little Giants aim: «to motivate and inspire our children today to accomplish great things tomorrow, based on the example of role models of past and present.»

Included in this anthology are the stories of Cuban native Alicia Alonso, who beat the odds and overcame barriers to become a world-famous ballerina; Dolores Cacuango, an indigenous native of Ecuador who fought against the injustice and mistreatment of her people; and Elvia Carrillo Puerto, who secured women’s right to vote in Mexico. Little Giants also teaches children key Spanish definitions and suggested activities. Written for children aged eight to twelve, this book includes beautiful illustrations that help bring these inspiring women to life.

The book is available in hardcover and paperback. For more information you can visit www.cayenapress.org.

ALBANY, N.Y., March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Coronavirus outbreak has put businesses, communities, and consumers through economic woes, which has resulted in paper and packaging companies experiencing volatility in the market. The current period of financial turmoil is expected to reduce customer appetite for products, potentially disrupting the revenue and production in the global stone paper market. As a result, paper manufacturers should review their short- and long-term growth projections, as well as their assumptions, in order to weather business uncertainty.

Numerous factors influence the global stone paper market, including the surge in demand for the preventive measures of deforestation and environment friendly items in the packaging industry. Moreover, the global stone paper market is anticipated to grow rapidly in the near future due to a number of advantages associated with stone paper. In the forecast timeframe, rising demand from various key application sectors like self-adhesive paper, labelling, and packaging is observed to have a significant impact on overall growth opportunities for the market.

Investing more in research and development activities to create sophisticated production technologies utilizing calcium carbonate and other similar organic compounds is anticipated to be an important driver of market growth.

Key Findings of Market Report

• Demand for Environment Friendly Products to Boost Market Growth

As a result of the adverse effects of climate change, green products have become increasingly common in stone paper companies. Taiwan-based Lung Meng Advanced Composite Materials Co., for example, has invested US$ 49.8 Mn in research and development activities to come up with green products such as shopping bags, notebooks, and cups. Stone paper manufacturers are attempting to follow environmentally friendly practises. To fight climate change, they are supporting the development of high-performance environment friendly items. As a result, waste marble is ground into a fine powder, which is then formed into pellets and then it is stretched and cut constantly. Stone paper products are presenting a significant threat to the sale of pulp-based products. These products are also attracting the attention of stakeholders in the decoration, marketing, and packaging industries owing to their low cost of production. All these factors are likely to boost growth of the global stone paper market in the years to come.

• Multiple Benefits of Stone Paper to Accelerate its Adoption in Packaging Industry

Stone paper is readily accepted by the expanding flexible packaging industry in FMCG and food and beverage packaging applications. Food producers choose stone paper because of its long-term sustainability and aesthetic qualities. To diversify their revenue sources, stone paper manufacturers are widening their supply chains so as to include side gussets, stand-up pouches, and heavy-duty containers. Stone paper’s sustainable and environmental friendly qualities aid in lessening manufacturing waste whilst also improving consumer satisfaction. Stone paper box pouches with digital printing are being utilized to help brands achieve market exposure. Such multiple uses are likely to work in favor of the global stone paper market over the analysis timeline, from 2020 to 2030.

NEW YORK, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bloomberg today announced that the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index (BSBY) is now available for use as a reference in financial benchmarks in the U.S. loan market.  BSBY includes both a term structure and systemic credit-sensitive spread, which may be used to support the market’s transition from LIBOR to risk-free rates, such as SOFR.  Bloomberg began publishing BSBY on an indicative basis for the purposes of illustration, analysis and collection of market feedback on October 15, 2020.

Over the six-month period during which BSBY was published on an indicative basis, Bloomberg received positive feedback on the sensitivity of the rate and robustness of the methodology from market participants, indicating that BSBY meets their needs as an alternative replacement rate.

«Now that BSBY is available for use in the U.S. loan market, we will continue exploring the introduction of products that may use BSBY as a benchmark,» said Steve Berkley, CEO of Bloomberg Index Services Limited (BISL). «We’re encouraged by the responses we’ve received from finanical institutions and corporations on this approach; in particular, that the availability of BSBY’s credit-sensitive rate is an important milestone in helping them move away from LIBOR and meet regulatory timelines.»

BSBY is available as a standalone rate and can also be used as a supplement to Term SOFR.  In addition to BSBY, Bloomberg provides an array of tools and complementary offerings to help market participants transition away from legacy IBORs, including calculating and publishing term and spread adjustments for the fallbacks that ISDA intends to implement for certain IBORs. 

«There is strong demand for a rate that has a term structure and credit component,» commented Peter Tchir, Head of Macro Strategies at Academy Securities. «BSBY is a big step toward incorporating traded rates across a variety of bank issuers to establish a realistic benchmark for transactions; the design fixes a lot of issues and makes it a compelling  alternative as clients prepare for LIBOR transition .»

BSBY will be calculated daily and published at 8 AM ET, using the prior day’s transaction data, on a T+1 basis.  The index can be accessed via the Bloomberg Terminal, and will be posted publicly on Bloomberg.com on a delayed basis.  The index is available for 5 tenors: overnight {BSBYON Index }, 1-month {BSBY1M Index }, 3-months {BSBY3M Index }, 6-months {BSBY6M Index } and 12-months {BSBY12M Index }.  Additional detail on the BSBY methodology can be accessed here.

Bloomberg is licensing BSBY for use as a financial benchmark via Bloomberg Index Services Limited (BISL), Bloomberg’s authorized benchmark administrator. In addition to BSBY, BISL administers the Bloomberg Barclays flagship family of fixed income indices, the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), and Bloomberg’s Global Equity Index family. BISL provides robust governance and oversight over its benchmark offerings, which will soon include a dedicated oversight function for BSBY composed of a balanced set of market stakeholders.

BSBY’s transaction-based inputs, robust construction and resilient methodology are designed to meet the high standards of both the BMR and the IOSCO principles for financial benchmarks (IOSCO Principles).  An independent assurance report for BSBY’s alignment with the IOSCO Principles will be made available when complete, and BSBY will soon be made available for licensing in additional jurisdictions, including the U.K. and the EU.  More information on BSBY licensing is available here.

GWANGJU, South Korea, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The landmark 2015 Paris Agreement resulted in multiple studies examining the impact of global temperature increases, but these rarely investigate the effect of warming on «fire weather» conditions. Now, in a new study, scientists have found that by projecting two different types of fire weather conditions, an additional half-degree of warming could drastically increase the likelihood and significance of blazes worldwide.

Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change agreed to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 2.0°C and, ideally, to 1.5°C, over preindustrial levels. However, even before that treaty was signed, scientists had already warned that those «best case» targets were unlikely to be achievable. Consequently, many fire weather studies are built with models that simulate much higher levels of climate warming.

Recently, researchers from South Korea, Japan, and the United States have found that by projecting the fire weather conditions under two mildly varying warming levels — one in which the global climate warms by 1.5℃ and the other by 2℃ — even just a half-degree of warming could significantly increase the likelihood and significance of wildfires.

«When it comes to the conditions that make wildfires more likely, a little bit of warming goes a long way,» explained lead author Rackhun Son, Ph.D. candidate at Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea, «but, of course, this is troubling, because it is quite unlikely that we will only be experiencing a little bit of warming.«

«Although it is reasonable to look at fire weather under more extreme circumstances, there is little sense in making goals without a good understanding of what might happen if you were to reach those goals,» said co-author Seung-Hee Kim of Chapman University, «so, we asked ‘what would happen if we did reach these goals? Would the fire weather conditions not become as severe?‘»

That answer is complex, but this study’s key finding is that just a half a degree of additional warming would likely create a notably greater danger of fire on the most widely inhabited continents, with dangers particularly concentrated in the Amazon rainforest and African savanna, and around the Mediterranean. «We also provided evidence that places like Australia and Indonesia are likely to reach peak levels of fire susceptibility even before we reach that lower threshold,» said co-author Simon Wang of Utah State University.

The study does provide a silver lining of hope to this cloud of danger. Commenting on the implications of their findings, Dr. Wang comments, «If we were somehow able to suppress this extra half a degree of warming, we could reduce climate-driven extreme fire activities in many places, potentially saving many lives and billions of dollars.»

Their research has been published in the journal Environmental Research Letters.
