Sanne delighted that Mauritius has exited the FATF grey list

Post author By admin
Post date October 21, 2021

EBENE, Mauritius, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The 5th Plenary of the Financial Action Task Force (“FATF”) under the German Presidency of Dr. Marcus Pleyer took place between 19-21 October 2021. We are pleased to announce that the FATF has congratulated Mauritius for the significant progress made in addressing the strategic AML/CFT deficiencies identified earlier by the FATF. The action plan was robust and resulted in Mauritius no longer being subject to the FATF’s increased monitoring process. This comes after Mauritius received an on-site visit, despite the COVID-19 crisis. Mauritius will continue to work with ESAAMLG of which it is a member, to continue to strengthen its AML/CFT regime.

Mauritius was initially included on the FATF grey list in February 2020 as a result of strategic deficiencies identified by the FATF in its AML/CFT regime. Since then, the Mauritian Government had made a high-level political commitment to actively work with the FATF to address the identified deficiencies following which the national AML Committee, Government officials, Regulators and other stakeholders have supported the implementation of key reforms in relation to the FATF action plan.

The FATF announced in the June 2021 plenary session that Mauritius had substantially completed its action plan and commended Mauritius’ efforts for the progress achieved despite the pandemic. This announcement already pre-empted the exit of Mauritius from the grey list subject to an on-site assessment by FATF delegates in September 2021. This visit has been conclusive in determining that Mauritius has implemented adequate sustainable AML/CFT reforms that such efforts have been maintained during that period, and the necessary political commitment remains in place to ensure that the reforms are sustained going forward.

Mauritius continues to emerge as a resilient economy

“This is a proud moment for our country considering the economic impact suffered by Mauritius whilst on the grey list. Over the last 18 months, MIFC has demonstrated its commitment, resilience, agility and ability to work in concerted efforts, coordinating key reforms to cure strategic AML/CFT deficiencies. It is time to congratulate all stakeholders including the business community in Mauritius involved in the process.

We now seek to further pursue in promoting our IFC with a compelling value proposition and an innovative and diverse toolbox of financial products and services towards long-term sustainable growth. Our focus remains on maintaining our competitive edge against a robust legal and compliance framework providing investors with added comfort and confidence in using Mauritius as a leading hub for their investments.” Rubina Toorawa, Head of Sanne, Mauritius

As per the latest ESAAMLG plenaries, Mauritius has been re-rated upward on three recommendations of the FATF, which results in Mauritius being compliant with 39 out of 40 recommendations. With regards to Recommendation 15 (New Technologies) where Mauritius is still rated as Partially Compliant, the authorities in Mauritius have circulated a draft Virtual Assets Business Bill for consultation in view of seeking the views/comments from the financial services industry stakeholders. Mauritius will be the only country in the world to achieve full compliance to all the FATF recommendations if (and when) the Recommendation 15 is re-rated positively.

The exit of Mauritius from the FATF grey list reinforces its position as a jurisdiction of substance, offering a conducive environment for business, with robust legislations and an innovative product offering for the global financial community.

CGTN: Yellow River: A Chinese tale of ecological protection, high-quality development

Post author By admin
Post date October 21, 2021

BEIJING, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Deemed China’s “Mother River” and “the cradle of Chinese civilization,” the Yellow River basin has seen remarkable improvements in its ecological environment over the last few years as the Chinese government attaches increasing importance to the conservation of China’s second-longest watercourse.

Hailing the Yellow River’s importance as an ecological barrier, an economic zone and a cultural heritage site in China, Chinese President Xi Jinping has reiterated efforts to promote its ecological protection and high-quality development.

On Wednesday, President Xi inspected the estuary of the Yellow River in the city of Dongying, east China’s Shandong Province. He visited a dock at the estuary, an ecological monitoring center and a national-level nature reserve of the Yellow River Delta.

National strategy

“The protection of the Yellow River is critical to the great rejuvenation and sustainable development of the Chinese nation,” President Xi said. This explains why China has set the ecological protection and high-quality development of the Yellow River basin as a major national strategy.

Starting from Qinghai Province, the Yellow River runs through nine provinces and autonomous regions before emptying itself into the Bohai Sea in Shandong.

As an “ecological corridor,” the Yellow River, linking the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Loess Plateau and plains in northern China with severe water scarcity, plays an important role in improving the ecological environment, combating desertification and providing water supply.

The 5,464-kilometer-long waterway feeds about 12 percent of China’s population, irrigates some 15 percent of the arable land, supports 14 percent of the national GDP, and supplies water to more than 60 cities.

Since the 18th Communist Party of China (CPC) National Congress, the Chinese president has visited all of the basin’s provinces and autonomous regions, sharing his concerns about China’s “Mother River.” In less than a year from August 2019 to June 2020 alone, he inspected the Yellow River basin four times.

What are the challenges?

President Xi pointed out difficulties and problems in protecting the Yellow River during his inspection tours, such as the fragile ecological environment, the severe condition of water resources preservation and the need to improve development quality.

According to Xi, the peace of the Yellow River is significant to the stability of China. Although the river has not seen major dangers for many years, Xi has repeatedly told the nation not to relax its vigilance.

The river’s natural and geological conditions have led to frequent flooding since ancient times. Over the past 2,500 years, the Yellow River has broken its dikes more than 1,500 times and made 26 major changes in its course on the lower reaches.

Still, busy industrial activities along the Yellow River once put it on the map as one of the world’s most polluted rivers about 10 years ago, which also resulted in ecological degradation.

Turning a blueprint into practice

To deal with major challenges facing the Yellow River basin, the central government and the local governments along the river have taken a series of measures, exemplifying how a national strategy is transforming from a blueprint into concrete practice while showing China’s determination to purse high-quality development.

Over the past 70 years, China has carried out four large-scale embankment projects, built water conservancy projects, implemented two phases of flood control projects on the lower reaches of the waterway and completed the standard levee construction. By 2019, the accumulated amount of silt and sand into the Yellow River has been reduced by nearly 30 billion tonnes and the sediment of the downstream river has been reduced by 11.2 billion tonnes.

High-quality development of the Yellow River basin started with adjustment and transformation of old industrial cities on the upper stream, developing modern agriculture in major grain-producing regions as well as exploring ways to help the impoverished residents along the riversides.

The country has also built more than 400 wetland nature reserves and national parks in the basin. The Yellow River Delta National Nature Reserve, the one President Xi visited on Wednesday, is one of the examples.

The Reserve spanning about 153,000 hectares, with wetlands making up over 70 percent of its total area, is an important wintering and stopover site for migratory birds, including oriental storks, an endangered bird species.

Earlier in October, China released an outline for the Yellow River Basin’s protection and development through 2030, serving as a guide for policymaking and engineering project planning in the basin to address challenges. The country is also speeding up its legislation to advance ecological conservation and high-quality development in the Yellow River basin.

‫يستخدم مستشفى الحكمة في الأردن جهاز geko ™ لعلاج الوذمة الحادة والوذمة الناتجة عن الصدمات (التورم) بعد الجراحة والوقاية منها لتعزيز التعافي.

Post author By admin
Post date October 21, 2021

لندن, 21 أكتوبر / تشرين أول 2021 /PRNewswire/ — أعلن مستشفى الحكمة الحديث، الزرقاء، الأردن، اليوم أنه أول مستشفى في المنطقة يعتمد جهاز geko ™ لعلاج والوقاية من الوذمة الحادة في الأطراف السفلية بعد الجراحة والوذمة الناتجة عن الصدمات لتعزيز التعافي.

الوذمة، وهي مصطلح طبي للتورم – وهي عبء ضخم وصامت حتى الآن مع القليل من الأدوات لعلاج المضاعفات – يمكن أن تؤخر التثبيت الجراحي قبل الجراحة، وتعيق إغلاق الجرح بعد العملية الجراحية، وتقلل من قوة العضلات وتعطل إعادة التأهيل ^[1].

المعيار الحالي للرعاية للحد من الوذمة قبل الجراحة في المرضى الذين يعانون من كسور في الكاحل هو الجبس المصحوب برفع الساق؛ وبالنسبة للعمليات الجراحية الاختيارية بعد الجراحة، غالبًا ما تكون الربطة التي تشبه الحذاء، والتي تضغط على الطرف السفلي لزيادة تدفق الدم، وتسمى الضغط الهوائي المتقطع (IPC).

ومع ذلك، فإن الضغط الهوائي المتقطع غير مناسب لجميع المرضى بسبب أمراض الأوعية الدموية أو الجلد الهش أو إصابة الأطراف المعقدة ^[2]. يتطلب الضغط الهوائي المتقطع أيضًا موارد لضبط الربطات بشكل صحيح، ولا تتوفر دائمًا المضخات الهوائية لتضخيمها بسهولة – ويمكن أن يؤدي الارتفاع وحده إلى زيادة مدة الإقامة في المستشفى وزيادة التكاليف. والنتيجة هي الحاجة إلى تدخل ميكانيكي بديل يمكنه تجاوز الضغط الهوائي المتقطع ورفع الساق – علاج قادر على تقليل مدة الإقامة في المستشفى، ومتابعة المريض في المنزل، وتسهيل التعافي المعزز والسماح ببدء إعادة التأهيل في وقت مبكر.

لمعالجة هذه الحاجيات الهامة غير الملباة، اعتمد قسم العظام في مستشفى الحكمة، برئاسة استشاري جراحة العظام الدكتور سميح إسماعيل أبو خليفة، جهاز Geko ™ من Sky Medical Technology. جهاز صغير بحجم الساعة يلتصق بجانب الركبة ، مما يزيد من تدفق الدم في الأوردة العميقة لبطن الساق^[3]، عن طريق نبضات كهربائية غير مؤلمة، وبسرعة تساوي 60% من سرعة المشي^[4] دون أن يضطر المريض للتحرك. بفضل آلية التحفيز الكهربائي العصبي العضلي غير التوغلية، يمنع الجهاز تراكم الوذمة ويسمح بالتخلص منها عن طريق إعادة الامتصاص الموضعي للسائل الوذمي في الأوعية الدموية والجهاز الليمفاوي ^{[5]، [6]}.

متأثرًا ببيانات واقعية مقنعة من خدمة الصحة الوطنية، حيث أبلغت عن تحسن ما قبل الجراحة لمدة يومين لدى الاستعداد للجراحة في المرضى الذين يعانون من كسر في الكاحل ^[5]؛ والتجربة العشوائية المضبوطة توضح الوقاية من الوذمة بعد الجراحة لدى المرضى الذين أجروا استبدال مفصل الورك^[6]، رأى الدكتور سميح إسماعيل أبو خليفة إمكانيات جهاز Geko ™ المبتكر واغتنم الفرصة لفحص دوره واعتماده لاحقًا في الممارسة السريرية

قال الدكتور سميح إسماعيل أبو خليفة استشاري جراحة العظام: “الوذمة التي تصيب الأطراف السفلية بعد الجراحة وتلك الناتة عن الصدمات هي عامل معقد يمكن أن يؤثر على مدة الإقامة في المستشفى والتعافي الوظيفي ومعدلات إعادة القبول¹ لذلك كان فريقي حريصًا على استكشاف كيفية استخدام جهاز ™ geko كتدخل ميكانيكي بديل لتعزيز التعافي. يتم الآن استخدام الجهاز سهل الاستخدام بحجم ساعة اليد بشكل روتيني للتحكم في الوذمة بشكل آمن وجيد التحمل، مما يضمن أن جميع مرضانا يمكنهم الآن الاستفادة من التحكم المناسب ي الوذمة لتحقيق نتائج سريرية أفضل – والأهم من ذلك تحسين رضا المرضى”.

وقال برنارد روس، المؤسس والرئيس التنفيذي لشركة Sky Medical Technology: “يسعدني أن يكون الدكتور سميح إسماعيل أبو خليفة وفريقه السريري أول من أيدوا استخدام جهاز geko ™ في منطقتهم للتحكم في الوذمة ما بعد العمليات الجراحية وتتلك الناتة عن الصدمات، وهو أمر ضروري لزيادة فعالية” التدخلات الأخرى، مثل العلاج الطبيعي، والذي يمكن أن يؤدي إلى تحسين التعافي الوظيفي. كما أتوجه بالشكر إلى شركة تداوي للتجهيزات الطبية، المستورد والموزع لجهاز geko ™، لدعمها الابتكار في مجال جراحة العظام في مستشفى الحكمة”.

Nanoracks, Voyager Space, and Lockheed Martin Teaming to Develop Commercial Space Station

Post author By admin
Post date October 21, 2021

Continuously crewed habitat to support research, industrial activity, and more

DENVER, Oct. 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Nanoracks, in collaboration with Voyager Space and Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT], has formed a team to develop the first-ever free flying commercial space station. The space station, known as Starlab, will be a continuously crewed commercial platform, dedicated to conducting critical research, fostering industrial activity, and ensuring continued U.S. presence and leadership in low-Earth orbit. Starlab is expected to achieve initial operational capability by 2027.

Starlab, a commercial low-Earth orbit space station is being planned for use by 2027

To meet U.S. government, international space agency, and commercial needs in space, these industry leaders will develop Starlab specifically to enable the growing space economy and meet pent-up customer demand for space services such as materials research, plant growth, and astronaut activity. Together, these companies bring unparalleled experience in commercial space utilization, engineering design and performance, technology innovation, and investment strategy.

“Since the beginning, Nanoracks has sought to own and operate a private space station to fully unlock market demand,” says Jeffrey Manber, CEO and Co-Founder of Nanoracks. “Our team has spent the last decade learning the business of space stations, understanding customer needs, charting market growth, and self-investing in private hardware on the ISS like the Bishop Airlock. Nanoracks and our team are excited to work with NASA and our friends across the world as we move forward with Starlab.”

NASA recently announced the Commercial Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) Destination (CLD) project to support the development of private space stations. CLD will stimulate a multifaceted LEO economy and provide science and crew capabilities in LEO before the International Space Station (ISS) retires.

Nanoracks will prime the Starlab development effort leveraging over a decade of experience as the pathfinder of and global leader in commercial ISS utilization. Voyager Space, the majority shareholder in Nanoracks, will lead strategy and capital investment and Lockheed Martin, a leader in developing and operating complex spacecraft, will serve as the manufacturer and technical integrator.

The basic elements of the Starlab space station include a large inflatable habitat, designed and built by Lockheed Martin, a metallic docking node, a power and propulsion element, a large robotic arm for servicing cargo and payloads, and a state-of-the-art laboratory system to host a comprehensive research, science, and manufacturing capability. Starlab will be able to continuously host up to four astronauts for conducting critical science and research.

“We’re excited to be part of such an innovative and capable team—one that allows each company to leverage their core strengths,” said Lisa Callahan, Vice President and General Manager, Commercial Civil Space at Lockheed Martin. “Lockheed Martin’s extensive experience in building complex spacecraft and systems, coupled with Nanoracks’ commercial business innovation and Voyager’s financial expertise allows our team to create a customer-focused space station that will fuel our future vision. We have invested significantly in habitat technology which enables us to propose a cost-effective, mission-driven spacecraft design for Starlab.”

Nanoracks’ Starlab business model is designed to enable science, research, and manufacturing for global customers, and bring added value to long-duration sovereign astronaut missions. Starlab will also serve tourism and other commercial and business activities.

“Voyager Space is highly confident in the Starlab business model and its ability to be commercially sustainable and well capitalized,” says Dylan Taylor, Voyager Space Chairman & CEO. “Voyager Space sees numerous synergies leveraging the capabilities across our organization’s operating businesses, as well as within the Lockheed Martin ecosystem. We see this partnership as just the beginning of our work together.”

The global home appliances giant adds more high visibility assets and bolsters experiential content for football fans

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – Media OutReach – 21 October 2021 – Midea and Manchester City today announced an amplification to its global partnership which kicked-off in January 2020. Throughout this partnership, Midea has produced engaging digital content, which has been extremely popular with City fans around the world. Most notably, the #MideaHomeChallenge that kept fans entertained during lockdowns when several Manchester City players challenged fans to show their football skills interacting with their home appliances in unique ways.

Also, the Midea #WorldClass Awards campaign that celebrated the Club’s, and especially players’ #WorldClass performances during the 2020/21 season. Midea’s innovative, humorous, and funny awards show, moderated by City legends Paul Dickov and Shaun Wright-Phillips, attracted millions of views and engagements from global fans when nine different #WorldClass trophies were voted on, and subsequently awarded to, their favourite City players.

“Midea’s global visibility is still fairly small compared to our ambitions. Partnering with Manchester City – awarded the most innovative sports team in the world and with their philosophy to combine playing the most attractive football to watch, with a very successful outcome – gives us great global visibility in front of over hundreds of millions of fans, and a business partner with the same high ambitions towards the future.” said Eric Wang, VP Midea Group and President & CEO of Midea Group’s International Business Division.

“There are 55,000 fans in the stadium, but hundreds of millions of Manchester City fans among the 3.5 billion football fans all around the world watching on TV and Social Media at home – and home is where we are. Hence, in Midea we are delighted to showcase our commitment and ambitions to millions and billions of fans who are enjoying football from their homes.

“We aim to show all City and football fans our wide range of smart home appliances that enable them, as our slogan states ‘make yourself at home’ to ‘feel even more @home’. Therefore, apart from bolstering our global brand presence, we are looking forward to igniting excitement to our global consumers throughout the entire season and bringing people closer together, enjoying their homes even more – also especially during these still unprecedented times.” Wang continued.

“Manchester City’s partnership with Midea has gone from strength to strength and we are delighted to further deepen our relationship. Midea has shown great understanding in how to engage with City fans around the world by producing some of our strongest performing social media content in recent seasons and we’re now looking forward to expanding this partnership into community outreach and further smart product integration.” said Roel de Vries, City Football Group’s Group Chief Operating Officer.

Midea will also extend its relationship to help support the community by partnering with the Club’s renowned ‘City In The Community’ programme, to explore ways to tackle social challenges. Over the coming months, the Club will also be integrating industry-leading Midea smart home appliances across the Etihad Campus to provide enhanced facilities for players and fans alike.
