International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation: IASB Proposes Amendment to Its Leases Standard to Improve Accounting for Sale, Leaseback Transactions
LONDON, England, Nov. 28 -- The International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation issued the following news release on Nov. 27:
The International Accounting Standards Board has today proposed to amend IFRS 16 Leases by specifying how a company measures the lease liability in a sale and leaseback transaction.
Sale and leaseback transactions are transactions for which a company sells an asset and leases that same asset back from the new owner.

LONDON, England, Nov. 28 -- The International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation issued the following news release on Nov. 27:
The International Accounting Standards Board has today proposed to amend IFRS 16 Leases by specifying how a company measures the lease liability in a sale and leaseback transaction.
Sale and leaseback transactions are transactions for which a company sells an asset and leases that same asset back from the new owner.
IFRS 16 includes requirements for how to account for sale and leaseback transactions at the time the transaction takes place. However, it does notspecify how to measure the lease liability when reporting after that date.
The proposed amendment would improve the sale and leaseback requirements already in IFRS 16 by providing greater clarity for the company selling and leasing back an asset both at the date of transaction and subsequently. By doing so, the amendment would help ensure the Standard is applied consistently to such transactions.
The proposed amendment would not change the accounting for leases other than those arising in a sale and leaseback transaction.
Joseph Rowntree Foundation: Chancellor's Words Ring Hollow as Less is Spent on Levelling Up
YORK, England, Nov. 27 -- The Joseph Rowntree Foundation issued the following news release:
"Remarkably for a much-hyped statement on levelling up opportunity across the country, the Chancellor's words ring hollow as weaker local economies will be getting less money than previously/1 in the aftermath of the pandemic.
"The growing numbers of people in or at risk of being pulled into poverty in our country will have taken little solace from the plans laid out by the Chancellor today. The latest economic forecasts are stark and deeply troubling.

YORK, England, Nov. 27 -- The Joseph Rowntree Foundation issued the following news release:
"Remarkably for a much-hyped statement on levelling up opportunity across the country, the Chancellor's words ring hollow as weaker local economies will be getting less money than previously/1 in the aftermath of the pandemic.
"The growing numbers of people in or at risk of being pulled into poverty in our country will have taken little solace from the plans laid out by the Chancellor today. The latest economic forecasts are stark and deeply troubling.
"Behind the figures there are real families wonderinghow they will get through this winter and beyond. The Chancellor has not risen to the challenge facing the nation. In the here and now families need to know how they will pay for food, childcare and keep a roof over their heads.
"The Chancellor has failed to live up to their manifesto commitment to invest significantly in skills around the UK/2 and allow the funds to be administered locally via mayors, devolved administrations and local authorities. The additional funding for employment support is eye catching and necessary because of the anticipated wave of long-term unemployment in the coming months.
"There is mounting concern in the UK about tackling poverty and inequality/3, and the time to tackle these issues is now, as we recover from a crisis which has already hit the worst off hardest. This was a moment when the Chancellor could have taken action to solve poverty - instead many families will now be preparing for still harder times ahead."
On the failure to guarantee that the government won't cut the lifeline for people on Universal Credit:
"It is deeply disappointing that the Chancellor is leaving millions to wait out the winter in fear and uncertainty with no reassurance forthcoming that he would not cut Universal Credit as planned in April. There is no conceivable scenario in which this support will not be needed, and inaction risks a sharp rise in poverty.
"The Government also seems to have definitively decided not to help disabled people and carers on legacy benefits who are now facing another year of higher costs and an even greater struggle to get work with no extra help.
"It's not too late for the Chancellor to do the right thing. We urge the Government in the strongest terms to correct its course and commit to making the pound sterling20 uplift permanent and extend it to legacy benefits at the earliest opportunity."
On the Chancellor's plans for housing:
"The decision to freeze help with housing costs risks pushing families into poverty and takes away the link to real rents when calculating uplifts. To properly fix the housing crisis the Chancellor could have committed to increase the supply of social housing, with a particular focus on homes for social rent over the next five years."
Footnotes:
1/ The combined value of the Levelling Up Fund (pound sterling600m), UK Shared Prosperity Fund (pound sterling220m) and Local Growth Fund extensions for 2021-22 is less than the combined annual value of EU Structural Funds (pound sterling1.2bn) and the Local Growth Fund (pound sterling2bn).
2/ The Conservative's 2019 General Election Manifesto committed to a National Skills Fund worth pound sterling600m per year. Today's announcements only set out pound sterling375m for National Skills Fund in 2021/22.

New England Foundation for the Arts: Unpacking Cultural Supremacy in the Public Sphere
BOSTON, Massachusetts, Nov. 26 -- The New England Foundation for the Arts issued the following commentary on Nov. 24 by Erin Genia, multidisciplinary artist, educator and organizer:

It has been used as a tool by the dominant culture to disparage, expropriate, and erase other cultures; force acculturation; and set itself as the standard.

BOSTON, Massachusetts, Nov. 26 -- The New England Foundation for the Arts issued the following commentary on Nov. 24 by Erin Genia, multidisciplinary artist, educator and organizer:
Cultural supremacy lies at the heart of the institutional racism that saturates our country. It has been used as a tool by the dominant culture to disparage, expropriate, and erase other cultures; force acculturation; and set itself as the standard. It is so pervasive that it is nearly invisible to those living under it and it constantly perpetuates itself within the structures and institutions that sustain its limitedpicture of reality. The ongoing barriers that Indigenous people face in the United States are built into the country's cultural edifice, a complex construction of legacy systems assembled from the concealed dispossession and genocide of Native Americans.
Art in the public sphere can be a powerful tool to enlighten the collective imaginations of American society, or it can remain a conspicuous component of the outdated structures that prop up the system's harmful narratives. Two key obstacles stand in the way of realizing this potential: the prevailing attitudes toward Native art that stem from Western cultural supremacy and public ignorance about the role of U.S. assimilation policies on Native peoples and cultures.
Americans are conditioned to view Indigenous people through an anthropological lens. The cultural supremacy behind this lens relegates Native people to a primitive past, casts high art as handicrafts, favors stereotypical representations, and justifies cultural appropriation. The categorization of Native art as a binary of either traditional or contemporary dominates common discourse. Creative writer Bruce Curliss (Nipmuc), who is also known as Anoqus, or Star, in his language, confronts this false binary, saying, "All of the forms of art Native people make today are connected to the root of who we are. I think that gets lost in translation. We are the people of this land. One of our biggest problems is that the dominant culture is determining what our art is for us, trapping us in the past and in boxes that can't contain our work. They prevent us from going outside those boundaries to create new traditions for the future."
The second impediment to equity is the public's lack of knowledge about the organized campaigns to coerce Indigenous people to assimilate into American culture, using tactics that led to cultural genocide. Native land rights were systematically destroyed, Native children were removed from their families and communities to boarding schools, and traditional practices, languages, and religions were outlawed and denigrated--all of which caused profound culture loss for generations of Native Americans. Consequently, Indigenous artists and cultural workers often have the responsibilities to their communities to address this historical trauma alongside the pursuit of their own visions. Native artists are on the front lines of the creative struggle for cultural self-determination.
Artist Lilly Manycolors, a mixed Choctaw public artist and scholar, urges organizations in New England to "create grants and programs that are specifically for Indigenous people. Start with approaching the tribes to ask what is needed, listen to their concerns and then provide funding and support. Lack of access to opportunities is a big issue - the resources aren't there to support the art, cultural revitalization, and preservation work that needs to happen. I have been trying to find funding for a friend of mine - a Nipmuc cultural steward who is a brilliant artist - and it's just so hard to find opportunities for Indigenous artists here."
Manycolors, whose installation "The Red Dress Lodge," appeared on Boston Common this past summer, recommends that cities "start allocating their public art spaces to Indigenous people. There has to be representation if there is going to be any kind of reparations. I don't see many murals in Boston that are specifically by Indigenous artists, or that engage with Indigenous peoples' issues. Local Indigenous artists should have opportunities to reclaim some of that visual space to end the ongoing erasure of Indigenous people, to start changing the landscape to represent that the local tribes are still here."
The field of public art can lead the way in dismantling the existing impediments to achieving full cultural actualization. It will take the institutional commitments of involved organizations and agencies to build respectful and reciprocal collaborations with Native American artists and tribes to dislodge the underlying injustices present in the field. This work must begin with education, internally and publicly, to unravel everyone's roles in maintaining an unacceptable status quo.
Public art offers an opportunity to collaborate with many different stakeholders, organizations, agencies, tribes, artists, and cultural workers. The process of creating public art can be a pathway for working together to collectively and publicly come to terms with the legacy of our country's founding, to break down barriers and structures that perpetuate institutional racism and cultural supremacy, and to amplify the powerful presence of the people who are Indigenous to this place. Making Indigenous artists central to this process is essential.

However, we are deeply concerned that the Administration's Most Favored Nation rule may limit patient access to current and future therapies.
Moreover, we are troubled that the Administration is rushing to implement such a significant and complex change without allowing for public commentand input from the patient communities most impacted by this rule.
We strongly oppose this rule and believe that those living with lupus in the United States should have access to the full range of treatment options and not have those options limited by the decisions made in foreign countries.

OLYMPIA, Washington, Nov. 26 -- The Freedom Foundation issued the following news release:
On Nov. 24, with temperatures in Chelan, Wash., hovering between a high of 44 degrees and a low of 25, Washington's Department of Health finally saw fit to drop its quest to make an example of Slidewaters.
The agency agreed to a settlement, negotiated by the Freedom Foundation, under which it would drop its original order, which carried with it the threat of hefty fines and revocation of the popular water park's water recreation operating permits (yes, the Department of Health evidently thinks you can transmitCOVID-19 through the water).
In return, Slidewaters agreed to drop its appeal of that order.
The dispute began in late spring, when the facility, which opens only for the summer months and must generate enough revenue during that window to ensure it will open the following year, announced it would open in spite of the state's COVID-19 restrictions on outdoor recreation facilities, announced by Washington Gov. Jay Inslee in March.
Slidewaters, which attracts thousands of visitors every summer to the popular tourist community and employs around 150 local youngsters, created its own remediation plan, which was accepted by Chelan County health officials.
But in July, the DOH asserted authority over the situation and demanded the park be closed.
Slidewaters' owners responded by filing a timely appeal.
The settlement announced on Nov. 24 was reached in just one of three actions pending for the park, with the Freedom Foundation representing its owners in all the cases.
Slidewaters also has ongoing appeals before the Washington State Board of Industrial Insurance Appeals and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The settlement represents a victory for the Freedom Foundation and the park's owners, but one that didn't come in time to save Slidewaters' summer season.
"This case demonstrates perfectly what's wrong with Inslee's COVID response," said Freedom Foundation National Director Aaron Withe. "It applies a one-size-fits-all solution to a community that had little, if any, incidence of COVID. It ignores that people in the age group that overwhelmingly visit the park very seldom contract the virus and almost never die of it. And it disregards the opinion of local health officials -- who physically inspected Slidewaters and approved its plan to keep everyone safe -- in favor of a state agency doing the bidding of a governor with a vendetta."
Withe said Inslee's motivations in imposing his COVID edict had more to do with politics than public health, and believes the governor cracked down on Slidewaters to show other potential resistors what they could expect.
"No one's saying COVID isn't a problem or that we shouldn't apply common-sense precautions to protect people from it," Withe said. "But Inslee's approach was like using a sledgehammer to squash a bug. Or in this case, a business and its employees who dared to stand up to his dictatorial actions."

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. 26 (TNSAwa) -- The Alaska Community Foundation issued the following news release:
As winter deepens and the sun rises a little later and sets a little earlier each day, Alaskans settle in to wait out the dark. We know the light will come again. At the end of a singularly strange, dark year, that knowledge is more important than ever. In the winter, we make our own light by stepping up to help our neighbors and spreading hope for a brighter future. At ACF, we believe in the power of philanthropy to help create that future.
This week, ACF and the Department of Health andSocial Services (DHSS) announced the third and final round of Coronavirus Nonprofit Relief Fund (CNRF) grantees. In this grant cycle, ninety-five organizations across Alaska were awarded $11.5 million for use in navigating the effects of COVID-19. The funds are from Alaska's share of the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. This final round brings the CNRF award total to over $47 million, distributed in 275 grants over the course of five months. In every round, grantees assessed the needs of their communities and devised careful, creative strategies to address them using their grant money.
"It is an honor to support the nonprofit sector and the important missions they serve, and to ensure they have the resources to provide food assistance, mental healthcare opportunities, economic recovery relief, and other means to strengthen our communities during these challenging times," says Nina Kemppel, CEO of The Alaska Community Foundation.
The CNRF grants were established to provide economic relief to Alaskan nonprofits and other community-serving organizations, and to enable them to continue providing critical services to their communities and benefiting the lives of all Alaskans who have been impacted by COVID-19. The first round of grants, which closed July 29, distributed $17.6 million to eighty-nine organizations statewide. The second, which closed August 26, distributed $10.7 million to eighty-three more, and in September an additional healthcare-specific round granted $9.7 million to twelve nonprofit hospitals and clinics. The final round closed October 14 and brought the total to over $47 million.
"One of the most pressing issues we've seen is the isolation and disconnect brought on by COVID-19," says Melissa Deisen of second round grantee AWARE (Aiding Women in Abuse and Rape Emergencies), Inc. "With the relief assistance from The Alaska Community Foundation, AWARE has been able to provide increased options for safe shelter and permanent housing in the community. This has been integral to our ability to perform our mission and deliver our vision that allows our participants to be a part of a safe, equitable, and inclusive community that's built on safer, healthier relationships."
"This will help our organization adapt to the painful disruption COVID-19 is causing in Alaska," adds Elizabeth Kane, President of third round grantee the Adult Learning Center. "The grant allows us to continue our efforts to support Alaskans who rely on us for job qualification and other critical services that help those we work with support themselves and their families. It also helps us expand that support to Alaskans living in rural areas."
The grantees worked diligently during the grantmaking process to ensure their eligibility for funding, and ACF worked in partnership with DHSS to assist them in any way possible.
"The Department of Health and Social Services has been pleased to work with The Alaska Community Foundation to distribute CARES Act funds for Alaska's nonprofits," says DHSS Commissioner Adam Crum. "Distribution of funds has been statewide and covered nonprofits who support efforts to protect the homeless, serve the needs of families, feed the hungry, mitigate the spread of COVID, and provide for many other basic needs of Alaskans. Thank you to ACF for their partnership and dedication to distributing these funds."
Since its launch in July, the Coronavirus Nonprofit Relief Fund has evolved along with the needs of Alaskans, providing economic aid in answer to the difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic. Though the funds have all now been distributed, nonprofits and healthcare organizations statewide continue to work tirelessly for the benefit of all Alaskans in these trying times. Together, we will brighten the dark days.
