CHEYENNE, Wyoming, March 26 -- The Wyoming Business Council issued the following news, dated March 21:
The University of Wyoming College of Business will host the third annual UW Entrepreneurship Summit April 17-18 at the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center.
With efforts throughout the state to increase economic diversity, the College of Business has expanded the event to offer professional development workshops to educators, and also entrepreneur and ecosystems sessions. The annual John P. Ellbogen $50K Entrepreneurship Competition also will be held during the summit. The competition encouragesstudents to act on their talents, ideas and energy to produce tomorrow's leading businesses.
Featured speakers for the summit include UW President Laurie Nichols, College of Business Dean David Sprott, Wyoming Business Council CEO Shawn Reese and keynote speaker Christopher Gray, founder and CEO of Scholly Inc.
Speakers will discuss entrepreneurial resources, highlight some of the emerging companies throughout the state and focus on building connections to strengthen Wyoming's entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The Wednesday, April 17, Entrepreneurship Summit session will be open to high school faculty, staff and administration as a free professional development program, focusing on high school business, economics and entrepreneurship. Among topics to be discussed are lean startup methodologies; entrepreneurship in the classroom; a business school perspective on economics; and assurance of learning outcomes.
To register for the event, go to https://survey.uwyo.edu/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=94LH7nmMH.
"This event is a great opportunity for our college to give back to the inspirational educators in our wonderful state. Positive change comes from educating the citizens of Wyoming and helping young students to cultivate an entrepreneurial mindset," says Patrick Kreiser, the UW College of Business Rile Chair in Entrepreneurship and Leadership. "As I always tell my own students, anything in life is possible with a positive attitude and a lot of hard work. We will have a fun day but, when educators leave, we also want them to have something tangible to take back to their districts in order to meaningfully integrate entrepreneurial concepts into their curriculum."
The Thursday, April 18 Entrepreneurship Summit session will be open for the public with purchase of an event ticket. Ticket prices are $49 until April 1 and will be $79 after that date. Students will be admitted free with a prior RSVP.
Tickets can be purchased online at uw.uwyo.edu/UWsummit2019. The student RSVP link is http://www.uwyo.edu/business/entrepreneurship/.
Participants on the summit's second day will experience elements within the entrepreneur and ecosystem tracks. Workshops and panels to help entrepreneurs understand the resources available and also provide an opportunity for those resources to better clarify the needs of entrepreneurs across the state will be available.
Discussions will focus on the Wyoming Business Council's StartUp Grant Program; external speakers sharing new ways to incubate companies; and a teen entrepreneur who will shift many people's perceptions on what it takes to run a company.
"We are excited about the individuals and organizations that have stepped up to support this event," says Steve Russell, assistant College of Business dean. "If you are an entrepreneur, want to be one, work with entrepreneurs as a part of your job or simply just care about entrepreneurship in the state, you need to be here on April 18."
Summit participants are encouraged to attend the John P. Ellbogen $50K Entrepreneurship Competition finalists' business pitches. The competition awards cash prizes to outstanding teams of student entrepreneurs who submit their business plans for new ventures that show significant business potential.
The five finalists are:
* Asabi, a nonprofit organization that will create and implement practical courses, such as programming, in a format compatible with structural limitations of developing countries.
* Autosense Vehicle Occupancy Detection System, a device that uses a variety of sensors to monitor the environment of a vehicle and help prevent human and animal deaths.
* Scitech Energy, which proposes to formulate highly efficient, bio-friendly surfactants for application in enhanced oil recovery.
* The Petrichor Records, an independent, local record label in Laramie, with a focus on signing "do it yourself" bands based on talent, not genre.
* Torch Creamery, which provides quality ice cream creations through advocacy and employment for people with disabilities.
"Every year that I have been involved in this competition, the teams get better. Their commitment to actually starting these businesses is what keeps me going every day," says Corey Billington, the College of Business Professor of Practice in Entrepreneurship. "At this point in the competition, things shift from only being an educational experience to the realization that these entrepreneurs will be the ones hiring people to work in Wyoming, paying taxes in Wyoming and making our state a better place."

New Study Estimates the Impact of Various Brexit Scenarios on the Irish Economy
DUBLIN, Ireland, March 26 -- The Economic and Social Research Institute issued the following news:
A new study from the ESRI and the Department of Finance finds that GDP in Ireland ten years after Brexit will be around 2.6% lower in a Deal scenario, 4.8% lower in a No-Deal scenario and 5.0% lower in a Disorderly No-Deal scenario respectively, compared to a situation where the UK stays in the EU.
This implies a slower pace of growth with negative consequences throughout the economy. The results indicate that employment, in the long-run, would be 1.8% lower in a Deal scenario, 3.2% lower in a No-Deal

DUBLIN, Ireland, March 26 -- The Economic and Social Research Institute issued the following news:
A new study from the ESRI and the Department of Finance finds that GDP in Ireland ten years after Brexit will be around 2.6% lower in a Deal scenario, 4.8% lower in a No-Deal scenario and 5.0% lower in a Disorderly No-Deal scenario respectively, compared to a situation where the UK stays in the EU.
This implies a slower pace of growth with negative consequences throughout the economy. The results indicate that employment, in the long-run, would be 1.8% lower in a Deal scenario, 3.2% lower in a No-Dealscenario and 3.4% lower in a Disorderly No-Deal scenario respectively, compared to a situation where the UK stays in the EU.
There is more uncertainty about the short-run impact of Brexit as it depends on how smooth any transition to the new trading arrangements will be. Results indicate that by 2020, the level of real output in the Irish economy would be 0.6 per cent, 1.2 per cent and 2.4 per cent lower in the Deal, No-Deal and Disorderly No-Deal scenarios, respectively, compared to a situation where the UK remains in the EU.
In the Deal scenario, the UK makes an orderly agreed exit from the EU. This involves a transition period to the end of 2020, and a free trade agreement between the UK and the EU-27 being in place thereafter.
In the No-Deal scenario, the UK exits the EU without a deal but there is an orderly period of adjustment for trade. Ultimately, WTO tariff arrangements will apply to goods trade, there will be non-tariff measures, and services trade will also be negatively impacted.
In the Disorderly No-Deal scenario, the UK exits the EU without a deal and there is an additional disruption to trade in the short-run, above that considered in the No-Deal scenario.
The study estimated the impact of Brexit on the Irish economy by focusing on the impact to trade, incorporating the impact of tariff and non-tariff measures, and the potentially positive impact of FDI diversion to Ireland. The study assesses the impact of lower UK-EU trade on Ireland's main trading partners and finds that it would severely reduce the demand for Irish exports. The research also finds that Ireland might benefit from the relocation or diversion of FDI from the UK which would raise GDP. Ultimately, while the FDI effect is expected to have a positive effect on Ireland, the positive impact is outweighed by the negative trade effect.
Adele Bergin, lead author of the report, commented "The impact of each Brexit scenario is considerable and will have negative effects throughout the economy on the household sector, the labour market, firms and the public finances. However, the negative impact on Irish output in the long run in the Deal scenario is approximately half that of the No-Deal scenario."

BOULDER, Colorado, March 26 -- The National Education Policy Center issued the following news release:
* * *
- NEPC Education Interview of the Month is a great teaching resource; engaging drive-time listening; and 30 minutes of high-quality policy information for educators, community members, policymakers, and anyone interested in education.
* * *
In this month's NEPC Education Interview of the Month, Lewis and Clark College Emeritus Professor of Education Gregory A. Smith speaks with Mark Warren of the University of Massachusetts in Boston; Zakiya Sankara-Jabar, National Field Organizer forthe Dignity in Schools Campaign and Co-Founder of Racial Justice NOW!; and Jonathan Stith, National Coordinator of the Alliance for Educational Justice in Washington, DC. All are contributors to the 2018 book, Lift Us Up, Don't Push Us Out, about the educational justice movement.
Across the U.S., the justice movement in communities has arisen because of the failure of educators, policymakers, and school districts to create an equitable and inclusive system of public education.
The adoption of zero-tolerance disciplinary policies, emergence of the school-to-prison pipeline, and widespread closing and replacement of neighborhood schools by for-profit charters in major cities have all contributed to the reduction of access to an equitable education for children from under-resourced groups.
By organizing on local, regional and national levels, youth, parents, and teachers have been able to challenge harmful policies and stimulate meaningful systemic changes in a growing number of school districts. By drawing on the power of community organizing, they are demonstrating how grassroots activism with regional and national linkages can motivate reforms that truly meet the needs of students, families, and their communities.
Don't worry if you miss a month. All NEPC Education Interview of the Month podcasts are archived on the NEPC website and can be found here (https://nepc.colorado.edu/publications/fyi).

ROCKVILLE, Maryland, March 26 -- Goodwill Industries International, a 501(c)3 non-profit and a network of 164 community-based, autonomous organizations in the U.S., Canada and 13 other countries, issued the following news release, dated March 21:
Embodying a true spirit of societal advancement and international learning, Raimo Korjus is the recipient of the 2019 Gerald L. Clore International, presented by Goodwill Industries International. The award recognizes the efforts of a Goodwill executive to further the international mission of Goodwill and is named for the late Goodwill executive GeraldL. Clore, in honor of his diligent support and service to Goodwill's international outreach.
Korjus has dedicated his career to helping people with challenges in Finnish society find employment and obtain opportunities for success. His professional experience spans across nonprofit, politics and other service-oriented fields, but his passion remains the same: he is working for social change.
Korjus's commitment to the Goodwill mission began while he served in his previous role as the managing director of workforce development at SOTEK Foundation, where he operated two thrift stores. The stores were getting a plethora of donations but struggling to earn revenue. Korjus heard about Goodwill in a film, and traveled to New York to learn how he could implement change to improve his operations, while also creating employment placement and job training opportunities for people in his community. Korjus became deeply inspired with what he saw, and how his stores could help people who are unemployed and underemployed improve their lives and their families' quality of life.
In 2013, Korjus reached out to Goodwill Industries International to pursue a licensed, autonomous local Goodwill organization to partner with the SOTEK Foundation, resulting in the formation of Goodwill Suomi (Finland). The organization now operates four stores, which earned $970,000 in total revenue last year. As a result of its partnership with Goodwill, SOTEK has experienced an 83 percent increase in job placements, and it increased its number of employees by 45 percent. Additionally, jobs range across many industries, allowing the organization to place people in jobs that match their interests and skill sets. The efforts of SOTEK and Goodwill Suomi have had a tremendous impact on the workforce and unemployment rate in Kotka, Finland.
Korjus is also a strong catalyst in bringing both North American and international Goodwill organizations together to connect and learn from each other. He coordinated a trip from Goodwill Suomi to Goodwill Industries of Korea, and regularly attends Goodwill conferences and events in the United States. These efforts have been beneficial for both Goodwill Suomi and North-American-based Goodwill organizations that have been able to gain different perspectives when working together.
"As Edgar Helms once said, Goodwill is too powerful an idea to remain in the borders of one country, and Raimo has pioneered the power of the Goodwill idea in Finland," said Cindy Kim, director of global and marketing administration for Goodwill Industries International. "He passionately developed Goodwill in his country, much like Gerald Clore and so many others before him in the Goodwill social enterprise."
Partnering with Goodwill, an international brand and network, has increased SOTEK's visibility and credibility within the Finnish government, including with the deputy mayor. Korjus' work with Goodwill Suomi and SOTEK has led to more financial and operational support from the government, allowing the organization to help more people earn skills and gain good jobs.
Goodwill Industries International presented Korjus with the award in February 2019 at its Annual Meeting of the Conference of Executives.
Daniel Denis, MD Performs Ochsner's First Sacroiliac Joint Fusion With the IFuse Implant System

NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana, March 26 -- Ochsner Health System issued the following news release:

* * *
Ochsner Medical Center- Jefferson Highway announced today that neurosurgeon Daniel Denis, MD, performed the hospital's first sacroiliac joint fusion surgery using the minimally invasive iFuse Implant System(R) - a procedure for patients with unresolved low back symptoms related to the sacroiliac joint, which connects the sacrum, the triangular bone at the bottomof the spine, with the pelvis iliac crest.
According to published literature, up to 30 percent of all lower back symptoms are sacroiliac joint in origin,1 but is usually not included when diagnosing lower back pain. This joint can become damaged through injury, or from normal wear and tear over time. When such damage happens, it can cause significant discomfort from the lower back down to the lower buttock region and the upper leg. This discomfort can lead to debilitation and one's quality-of-life may greatly suffer.
"In one out of four patients, sacroiliac joint dysfunction is considered to be the main cause of low back pain," said Dr. Denis. "Minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion has become a prominent treatment modality for sacroiliac joint dysfunction, offering long-term relief when more conservative measures have failed."
The iFuse procedure is designed to offer a minimally invasive solution for patients who are no longer responding satisfactorily to conservative care and the prospect of a traditional open surgery is not desirable. The procedure takes about an hour and involves three small titanium implants inserted surgically across the sacroiliac joint. The entire process is done through a small incision, with no soft tissue stripping and minimal tendon irritation. Patients typically leave the hospital the next day after surgery and can usually resume daily living activities within six weeks, depending on how well they are healing and based on physician's orders. The iFuse System is intended for sacroiliac joint fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint disruptions and degenerative sacroiliitis.
As with all surgical procedures and permanent implants, there are risks and considerations associated with surgery and use of the iFuse Implant. Physicians should review the iFuse Instructions For Use for a complete discussion of contraindications, warnings, precautions and risks. Patients should discuss these risks and considerations with their physician before deciding if this treatment option is right for them. For more information on the iFuse Implant System(R), go to http://www.si-bone.com.
Dr. Denis is a highly trained neurosurgeon whose passion for pain research has led to an expertise in complex spinal surgery. His expertise lies in minimally invasive microsurgical techniques to treat a wide variety of spinal and cranial disorders. Dr. Denis puts an emphasis on educating his patients on their conditions and engaging them in the decision-making process.
Ochsner is nationally ranked as a Best Hospital by U.S. News & World Report for Neurology and Neurosurgery. To learn more about Ochsner's neuroscience services, or to make an appointment, please visit http://www.ochsner.org/neuro or call 877-412-2142.

CARE International staff have today begun distributing shelter and sanitation kits to communities affected by the destructive Cyclone Idai in Malawi and Mozambique.
The aid agency's experts are continuingto assess and monitor the scale of the devastation as rescue workers are racing against time to save hundreds of people who are still clinging onto roofs and trees.
This afternoon (Friday 22 March 2018), CARE declared Cyclone Idai a "regional disaster" as experts described the storm as one of the worst weather-related disasters ever to strike the Southern Hemisphere.
Caroline Kende-Robb is the Secretary General of CARE International, said: "We have declared Idai a regional disaster because all signs show that it's a crisis with long-term repercussions.
"In the immediate instance, our teams are responding with relief aid on the ground. We are receiving frequent updates that roads are impassable and communication networks across all three affected countries (Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe) have been cut off. In some contexts, there are no sanitation structures to talk of with latrines and sewage systems washed away and destroyed.
"Crucially, some crops that were nearing harvest have now been completely destroyed by the resultant floods. As CARE, we are looking at both the short-term and the long-term scenarios: people will need decent sanitation facilities now to avert a major disease outbreak; while planning is in motion to cater for their food security in the months to come," she explained.
The aid agency today distributed thousands of water containers and packages of plastic roofing sheets for evacuees of the crisis in Malawi. CARE experts have also established 21 protection committees in camps to ensure women and girls are protected from abuse.
"Following a natural disaster like Cyclone Idai, women and girls and particularly vulnerable. Informal camps are set up, often in schools and churches. Families are often separated, with men, women and children occupying different buildings. These buildings tend to be overcrowded with poor lighting," CARE spokesperson, Jessica Swart said.
"Our committees are made up of 10 people, each with at least 50 percent representation from women. They have an important role in disseminating messages on protection against sexual exploitation and abuse; and gender-based violence," she explained.
In Mozambique, CARE and its partners today airlifted family-sized tents, buckets and emergency kits. These kits - including blankets, mosquito nets and other supplies - were delivered to areas that are inaccessible by road, including parts of Beira and in nearby Guara Guara.
CARE assessment teams report that food and clean water remain critical needs, however, and families with children are struggling the most.
Cyclone Idai swept across Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe, leaving behind a trail of destruction, killing hundreds and affecting an estimated 2.6 million people. The full scale of the disaster is still unfolding, and more heavy rain is forecast.
6,000 Children Still in Temporary Shelters, Six Months on From Sulawesi Disaster
FAIRFIELD, Connecticut, March 26 -- Save the Children issued the following news release:
Thousands of children are still in need of permanent housing six months on from the devastating earthquake and tsunami which hit Central Sulawesi in Indonesia in September 2018.
An estimated 6,000 children1 are still living in temporary housing, and their daily lives involve navigating open sewers and mounds of sharp rubble. This exposes them to diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia. There has already been a significant outbreak of Dengue fever in Indonesia.

FAIRFIELD, Connecticut, March 26 -- Save the Children issued the following news release:
Thousands of children are still in need of permanent housing six months on from the devastating earthquake and tsunami which hit Central Sulawesi in Indonesia in September 2018.
An estimated 6,000 children1 are still living in temporary housing, and their daily lives involve navigating open sewers and mounds of sharp rubble. This exposes them to diseases such as diarrhea and pneumonia. There has already been a significant outbreak of Dengue fever in Indonesia.
"While tens of thousands of people have beenreached, six months after this disaster we are extremely concerned about the estimated 6,000 children still living in temporary shelters such as tents, as well as the thousands more that are living in homes that have been damaged. The temporary accommodation is basic - tents or makeshift homes - and often have bare floors, which flood when it rains," said Tom Howells, Save the Children's Response Team Leader in Indonesia.
"Indonesia is no stranger to natural disasters, but 2018 was a particularly brutal year with over 2,000 such events2. More than 5000 people lost their lives to earthquakes, tsunamis and landslides across Indonesia in 2018, thousands of others were injured, and tens of thousands more displaced. For many children in Indonesia, 2018 was a defining year in their lives."
More than 4,300 people were killed and over 170,000 people displaced in the disaster in Sulawesi, which was Indonesia's deadliest in over a decade. The event also severely damaged or destroyed over 40,000 homes. This included houses which completely disappeared in the rare 'liquefaction' phenomena that caused tracts of land to take on the characteristics of a liquid3.
Salsa, 10, has lived in a tent with her parents since the tsunami destroyed her home. The tent has no floor, and the door is covered with a blanket, which cannot be securely closed.
"Because of the big wave, the foundation of our house disappeared... I was with my cousin, I was crying, and looking for my mom," said Salsa. "Often, when we sleep, there are a lot of mice."
Since the disaster struck, Save the Children in Indonesia (Yayasan Sayangi Tunas Cilik) has been working to ensure children's immediate needs are met and essential services can operate. In response to the urgent shelter needs, the agency has already reached over 100,000 people with shelter kits, hygiene kits, clean water kits and mosquito nets. The agency has also run carpentry training with handymen from three badly affected villages and has provided vulnerable families with cash so they can rebuild their own shelters.
"The scale of destruction means that the relief effort is still needed, even for a disaster-prone country such as Indonesia with strong government capacity," said Howells "Aftershocks are still being felt six months on and we can see on the ground that these events are very distressing and destabilizing for children and adults alike. However, funds are drying up, and we now call on the international community to remember the children of Indonesia and support the response effort to help the remaining families get over the line."
Save the Children's Response in Sulawesi
Save the Children has been working on the ground in the affected communities since this disaster struck. At the outset, we focused on reuniting separated children and providing emergency water, shelter and sanitation to desperate families. Over the coming months, we will move to longer-term sustainable solutions, such as building learning centers, helping people rebuild their livelihoods and ensuring people, especially children are prepared for ongoing aftershocks and future disasters.
To date, Save the Children has reached over 140,000 people, including over 70,000 children. We have distributed shelter kits, hygiene kits and water kits to over 25,000 households, making sure children and their families have a roof over their heads and are less vulnerable to diseases caught through dirty water.
Save the Children is running over 50 child-friendly spaces, which give children the opportunity to recover, play, and be children again, while their families rebuild their lives and livelihoods. We have reached over 9000 children and adults through psychosocial interventions, helping them to recover from the intense fear and stress that such a terrifying event will cause. And we've established 26 temporary learning spaces, where children can access learning opportunities while their classrooms are rebuilt.
