COCONUT CREEK, Florida, July 26 -- Food for the Poor issued the following news release:
Food For The Poor (FFTP) is proud to announce its approval as a partner of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA).
The WEA is a network of churches in 143 countries that have joined to give a worldwide identity, voice, and platform to more than 600 million evangelical Christians. It is the largest international organization of evangelical churches, with offices at the United Nations in New York City, Geneva, Switzerland, and Bonn, Germany.
The fight against poverty is a major concern of the WEA.
"This partnershipwill enable us to amplify our voice and extend our reach in advocating for families living in poverty and implementing sustainable development initiatives," FFTP President/CEO Ed Raine said. "We are honored to join forces with WEA and look forward to the impactful work we will accomplish together."
The WEA is uniquely positioned to represent an evangelical voice at the United Nations. Since the relocation of its headquarters to New York in 2010, the WEA has increased its engagement at the U.N., promoting peace and reconciliation, advocating for impoverished communities and people in need, and communicating evangelical beliefs and values.
"Joining the World Evangelical Alliance is an extraordinary opportunity for Food For The Poor," said Michael Chin Quee, EVP of Church Alliances at FFTP.
"This partnership not only enhances our ability to serve the vulnerable but also aligns us with a global network dedicated to fostering peace, reconciliation, and advocacy for those in need. We are excited about the collaborative potential this partnership holds," Chin Quee said.

Top 1 Percent Bags Over $40 Trillion in New Wealth During Past Decade as Taxes on the Rich Reach Historic Lows
BOSTON, Massachusetts, July 26 -- Oxfam America issued the following news release:
The richest 1 percent have amassed $42 trillion in new wealth over the past decade, nearly 34 times more than the entire bottom 50 percent of the world's population, according to new analysis by Oxfam today ahead of the third meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The average wealth per person in the top 1 percent rose by nearly $400,000 in real terms over the last decade compared to just $335 - an equivalent increase of less than nine cents a day - for a person in

BOSTON, Massachusetts, July 26 -- Oxfam America issued the following news release:
The richest 1 percent have amassed $42 trillion in new wealth over the past decade, nearly 34 times more than the entire bottom 50 percent of the world's population, according to new analysis by Oxfam today ahead of the third meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The average wealth per person in the top 1 percent rose by nearly $400,000 in real terms over the last decade compared to just $335 - an equivalent increase of less than nine cents a day - for a person inthe bottom half.
This week G20 Finance Ministers are expected to lay the foundations of a groundbreaking global deal to increase taxes on the super-rich. Championed by the Brazilian G20 Presidency and backed by countries including South Africa, Spain and France, the proposal comes amid growing public demand for measures to rein in extreme levels of inequality and ensure that the rich pay their fair share.
"Inequality has reached obscene levels, and until now governments have failed to protect people and planet from its catastrophic effects," said Oxfam International's Head of Inequality Policy, Max Lawson. "The richest one percent of humanity continues to fill their pockets while the rest are left to scrap for crumbs."
"Momentum to increase taxes on the super-rich is undeniable, and this week is the first real litmus test for G20 governments. Do they have the political will to strike a global standard that puts the needs of the many before the greed of an elite few?" Lawson said.
A "war on fair taxation" has seen tax rates on the wealth and income of the richest collapse. Oxfam has calculated that less than eight cents in every dollar raised in tax revenue in G20 countries now comes from taxes on wealth. Oxfam's research also found that the share of income of the top 1 percent of earners in G20 countries has risen by 45 percent over four decades while top tax rates on their incomes were cut by roughly a third.
Globally, billionaires have been paying a tax rate equivalent to less than 0.5 percent of their wealth. Their fortunes have risen by an annual average of 7.1 percent over the last four decades, and an annual net wealth tax of at least 8 percent would be needed to reduce billionaires' extreme wealth. G20 countries are home to nearly four out of five of the world's billionaires.
* * *
Notes to editors:
Oxfam, Avaaz, the Patriotic Millionaires, TaxMeNow, 350.org, the Fight Inequality Alliance and WeMoveEurope will hand in petitions with over 1.5 million signatures from people across the world calling on G20 leaders to tax the ultra-rich to Brazilian Finance Minister Fernando Haddad in Rio de Janeiro on 24 July.
Earlier this month, close to 20 former heads of state and government of G20 and higher-income countries called on current G20 leaders, including US President Joe Biden, German Chancellor
Olaf Scholz and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to support a "new global deal to tax the world's ultra-rich individuals" in an open letter.
Polling consistently finds that most people across countries support raising taxes on the richest. For example, the majority of people in the US, 80 percent of Indians, 85 percent of Brazilians and 69 percent of people polled across 34 countries in Africa support increasing taxes on the rich.
Nearly three-quarters of millionaires polled in G20 countries support higher taxes on wealth, and over half think extreme wealth is a "threat to democracy." 72 percent think that extreme wealth helps buy political influence.
Oxfam has calculated that for every $1 raised in tax in G20 countries, less than 8 cents comes from taxes on wealth.
Oxfam's research found that the share of national income going to the top 1 percent of earners in G20 countries has increased by 45 percent over the last four decades. During the same period, the top tax rates on their incomes has fallen by roughly a third (from around 60 percent in 1980 to 40 percent in 2022).
Oxfam has calculated that to keep billionaires' wealth constant over the last two decades, we would have needed an annual net wealth tax of more than 8 percent across all countries. To keep their wealth constant between 2016 and 2021, we would have needed an annual net wealth tax of 12.8 percent.
According to the EU Tax Observatory, global billionaires have very low personal effective tax rates, of between 0 percent and 0.5 percent of their wealth.

* * *
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, the Opposing the Cultivation and Trade of Octopus Produced through Unethical Strategies (OCTOPUS) Act, which would ban commercial octopus farming in the U.S. and prohibit imports of farmed octopus from foreign countries, was introduced in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK). The OCTOPUSAct would proactively protect octopuses from inhumane farming conditions before the industry has an opportunity to develop in the U.S.
As outlined in the bill, the OCTOPUS Act would:
* Prohibit commercial octopus aquaculture operations in the U.S.
* Prohibit the import of commercially farmed octopus or products containing commercially farmed octopus and impose fines for violations.
* Require importers to certify that they are not importing farmed octopus.
* Require the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to collect data on octopus harvest methods in trade programs under its jurisdiction.
Octopuses have significant cognitive abilities and can learn new skills, navigate complex mazes, are known escape artists, and even use tools. Due to their complex mental abilities, octopuses have high enrichment needs that simply cannot be met in farming environments. Intensively confining these highly intelligent, solitary animals in unnatural farming conditions is inhumane, as there is a high likelihood of stress, aggressive activity, and high mortality among octopuses in these settings. Methods of slaughtering octopuses have historically been highly inhumane, including clubbing, slicing, asphyxiation, and chilling.
"Scientists have proven octopuses are complex, intelligent creatures who can feel a full range of emotions. Instead of exploiting them, we must protect this dynamic species who suffer terribly in confined settings," says Animal Legal Defense Fund Legislative Affairs Manager Allison Ludtke. "The Animal Legal Defense Fund applauds Sen. Whitehouse and Sen. Murkowski for taking the first step to ensure the United States sets a global precedent for octopuses' welfare."
"Octopuses are among the most intelligent creatures in the oceans. And they belong at sea, not suffering on a factory farm," said Whitehouse. "My bipartisan bill with Senator Murkowski would preemptively prevent U.S. companies from participating in this brutal practice before it takes root."
"The OCTOPUS Act proactively protects Alaska's marine ecosystems and supports wild harvest opportunities for Alaska's fishermen, and I'm glad to join Senator Whitehouse in this effort," said Murkowski. "As Alaska fishermen continue to navigate dire circumstances in the global market, I will continue to advocate for the most sustainable, wild-caught fisheries in the world."
In addition to concerns for the welfare of the animals, octopus farming could have problematic environmental consequences. Aquaculture facilities for octopuses could pose an increased risk of nitrogen and phosphorus runoff, contributing to environmental pollution and potential algal blooms that create low-oxygen dead zones devoid of life, disrupting marine ecosystems. Antibiotics and pesticides may also be used to control the spread of disease and presence of parasites -- as they already are with sea lice in salmon farms -- and these can end up in the diets of wild fish, making them sick and disrupting food chains.
On the state level, similar legislation was passed into law in Washington state (H.B. 1153) and has been introduced in Hawaii (H.B. 2262) and California (A.B. 3162).

RENSSELAER, New York, July 26 (TNSres) -- The New York Independent System Operator issued the following news release on July 25, 2024:
The New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) today released its 2023-2042 System & Resource Outlook (The Outlook), which provides a wide-ranging assessment of future transmission and generation investment opportunities driven by economics and public policy.
Electricity demand is expected to increase by 50% - 90% over the study horizon, driven by electrification of housing and transportation sectors, and energy-intensive economic development projects. The Outlookhighlights that while historic levels of investment in the transmission system have been made, more is necessary to achieve public policy mandates. Additional voltage support facilities must also be added to the grid in upstate New York to fully employ the transmission facilities already in place, the study finds. Opportunities for further transmission investment in Western and Northern New York should be monitored as generation is developed in those regions.
"Recent transmission investments are making great strides towards the full integration of renewable power across New York State," said Zach Smith, Senior Vice President of System & Resource Planning at the New York Independent System Operator. "More will be needed, however, to maintain system reliability and achieve public policies."
The Outlook also finds that between 100 and 130 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity will be needed to reliably meet forecasts in increased demand while also meeting the state's energy policy mandates. Of that total, at least 20 GW of dispatchable emission-free resources (DEFR) will be needed by 2040 to replace the current 25.3 GW of conventional fossil-based generation.
The Outlook notes that future DEFR technologies could include (but are not limited to), long-duration batteries, small modular nuclear reactors, hydrogen-powered generators, and fuel cells. No DEFR technology is currently available at a commercial scale. The Outlook notes that research, development, and construction lead times of DEFRs may extend beyond the state policy timelines, which may require existing generation to remain in operation to maintain system reliability.

BOSTON--The 2024 World Credit Union Conference concluded Wednesday with a block party that put the finishing touches on a spectacular four-day event at the Boston Conference and Exhibition Center.
2,397 credit union professionals from 57 countries attended the conference--the first held in the United States since 2015. COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 World CreditUnion Conference in Los Angeles, causing the nine-year gap.
WCUC 2024 featured more than 40 keynote presentations or breakout sessions from more than 70 speakers--on topics that included:
* Generative AI
* Cybersecurity
* Regulation & Advocacy.
* Financial Inclusion and Education.
* Growing Younger Membership
* Business Strategy & Influence.
* Sustainable Finance.
New faces and familiar voices
WCUC 2024 featured dozens of new speakers and presenters discussing new and emerging issues.
In his first keynote presentation at a World Credit Union Conference, Shawn Kanungo opened thousands of eyes to some of the readily available online AI tools credit unions can use to boost everything from their web presence to the presentation of their data.
But this year's conference also welcomed back many long-time supporters of the global credit union movement, who shared personal stories about their experiences and lessons learned over the years.
Dr. Brandi Stankovic, Principal of Strategic Advisory Solutions, addressed the Joint Global Women's Leadership and WYCUP event "Leading Through Networks" to share the story of how she and her mother, Sue Mitchell, CEO of Mitchell, Stankovic & Associates, have worked tirelessly to grow both of those networks over the course of the past few decades.
The mix of old and new helped attendees reflect on our movement's past and focus on how to grow our future relevance as well.
Strong press and social media presence
Press coverage of the event was the strongest to date, with several journalists from the United States joined at the event by media members from Brazil, Nepal, India and Korea.
Stories from the 2024 World Credit Union Conference were featured in more than 200 articles published by over 80 news outlets across seven countries.
WCUC 2024 also was a hit on social media. Our #wcuc2024 hashtag was used more than 1,000 times on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn posts as of Thursday morning.
Get ready for 2025
Next year, World Council of Credit Unions will host the 2025 World Credit Union Conference in Stockholm, Sweden, July 14-16. To learn more, visit wcuc.org/stockholm.
World Council of Credit Unions is the global trade association and development platform for credit unions. World Council promotes the sustainable development of credit unions and other financial cooperatives around the world to empower people through access to high quality and affordable financial services. World Council advocates on behalf of the global credit union system before international organizations and works with national governments to improve legislation and regulation. Its technical assistance programs introduce new tools and technologies to strengthen credit unions' financial performance and increase their outreach.
World Council has implemented 300+ technical assistance programs in 90 countries. Worldwide, 82,758 credit unions in 97 countries serve 404 million people.

* * *
The Center for Science in the Public Interest is urging the International Olympic Committee to drop its longstanding sponsorship with Coca-Cola.
The Olympic Games have been sponsored by Coca-Cola since 1928 and the contract extends until at least 2032. Sponsorship of sporting events allows companies to associate their products with leading athletes, creating a "health halo" effect overunhealthy items, such as sugary drinks, according to the group. Event sponsorship also lures athletes into these tacit endorsements, which many may otherwise choose to avoid.
CSPI's move is part of a broader, global campaign launched today to Kick Big Soda out of Sport. The campaign is led by concerned global health organizations and advocates and highlights the harmful effects of sugary drinks on our health and the planet. Launched ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, a petition (https://www.kickbigsodaout.org/) urging the International Olympic Committee to terminate Coca-Cola's sponsorship of the Olympics has garnered over 26,000 signatories to date.
"Contrary to the sunny marketing messages offered by Coca-Cola in connection with the Olympics and other sporting events, excessive consumption of Coke and other sugary drinks are linked to higher risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, weight gain, and other health problems," said CSPI president Dr. Peter G. Lurie. "Sugary drinks certainly don't promote physical fitness or athletic prowess, as the sponsorship of these products during the Olympics is intended to convey."
"Notable elite athletes like Cristiano Ronaldo and Tom Brady are known to avoid added sugars to maximize their fitness," Lurie said. "That the relationship between Coke and the Olympics spans nearly 100 years should be seen as an embarrassment worth ending, not a tradition worth continuing. It's time for the IOC to exercise some responsibility toward the games' young viewers and lead them away from products antithetical to the values celebrated during the Olympics."
The opening ceremony for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris occurs tomorrow.
