11 January 2024: Crown Prince Hussein, accompanied by Princess Rajwa, attended the launch of the Jordan-Singapore Tech Alliance Forum.

Speaking at the launch, Crown Prince Hussein highlighted the forum’s importance in unifying the two countries’ efforts towards technological excellence.

He stressed Jordan’s keenness to become a rising force on the international tech scene, highlighting the importance of digital transformation and entrepreneurship in nurturing creativity and turning ideas into reality.

The similarities between tech talents in Jordan and Singapore can be a bridge that connects the two countries and enhances cooperation in service of mutual interests, the Crown Prince said at the forum, held by the Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship and Jordan’s embassy in Singapore, in cooperation with the Singapore Business Federation and SG Tech. (Source: Petra)

His Royal Highness invited business people, experts, and CEOs to visit Jordan to learn more about the ICT and entrepreneurship sector, which is full of promising Jordanian talents.

Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Ahmad Hanandeh said that with more than 8,000 students graduating from IT-related programmes each year, Jordan’s digital economy continues to flourish, noting that Jordanians are making an impact that is attracting businesses from around the world.

He expressed the ministry’s keenness to continue helping Singaporean companies find the perfect home for their business in Jordan, highlighting the Jordan Source programme, which is helping businesses capitalise on Jordan’s exceptional potential as a global IT and business process outsourcing hub.

The Jordan-Singapore Tech Alliance Forum saw the participation of nearly 150 representatives of tech start-ups in Singapore, in addition to six Jordanian start-ups that provide technical support to international companies in sectors like gaming, digital education, and creative industries.

During the forum, key Jordanian tech companies gave briefings on their work, and participants engaged in discussions to attract international firms to Jordan by showcasing the competitiveness of the ICT sector in the Kingdom and success stories of Jordanian start-ups.

The forum also featured a presentation on the Jordan Source programme, launched in 2021 during a ceremony attended attendance of the Crown Prince, to promote Jordan as an international hub for innovation and investment in ICT and communications.

The forum is part of a series of Jordan Source promotional tours to attract investments and build partnerships with international companies seeking to expand into the Middle East through Jordan.

On the sidelines of the forum, a memorandum of understanding between Jordan’s Institute of Banking Studies and the Singapore FinTech Association was signed.

Planning Minister Zeina Toukan, Jordan’s Ambassador to Singapore Samer Naber, and Director of the Office of the Crown Prince Zaid Baqain attended the forum.

Mmmmmm post sleep Tennocon Rambles under the cut

Ofc because I just started vet school last week (yay) I couldn’t attend in person. Really sad I couldn’t attend because I’ve always loved it when I went to the 2017 and 2018 events. Had to watch the stream, but it look like from pictures everyone had tons of fun and I’m glad it was a success. Next year, please let it be closer to the middle of the summer akdjejak

Art panel, the highlight for me as always as an artist myself. Really cool to see all the concept works from way back in Dark Sector. I’m so sad the art book was so expensive and sold out so fast, but I hope this means they can be inspired to do a reprint in the future (maybe when food expenses arent draining my bank like a whirlpool….) The new upcoming concepts I can’t say I’m a fan of all too much. Grendel is my most hated frame but the boar is a cool inpiration for him. I personally think the game is very oversaturated with Liger concepts, so as per most Liger deluxes Sevagoth wasn’t my cup of tea. They designed the frame, why not have someone else take a shot as his deluxe? I didn’t catch who designed Yareli’s bu that one was interesting.

And….. the Heirloom skins collection. They’re pretty. I though Mag’s was for Nova and got too excited for a bit. And as a Frost main I’m always glad for more content containing him, hell I squint at his skin because it has a few elements that are strikingly similar to my Deluxe concept for him back in 2021. But. The price. I want to buy it, but this entire collection pitch is exactly what Digital Extremes has vow to not do in all 10 years with their fair free to play model, and this sets a very bad precedent if it were to continue. $90 USD is too high of a price for a pack of skins marketed as being in celebration of 10 years, inflated artificially with the Regal Aya. A pack of 6 (with an extra bonus, making 7 total and 400 platinum) is $40 which means everything in the second tier pack is only $30. The same price as the low tier. The only new thing the skins intoduce are the Signas, which are cool, but I gesture to Kaithe coronets. The skins have no new visual effects for abilities, no new animations, not even new idles like recent Deluxe skins have. Rebecca used the word “prestigious” for describing the pack. And I beg her to NEVER use that word again for cosmetics. Prestigious content is a very slippery slope. Take the Prestige skins from League. Because of those skins Riot is now thinking they can make a variant recolor of a very old Jhin legendary and mark the price up to $200. Warframe doesn’t need that. Not to mention the FOMO. The Heirloom pack is gone at the end of the year. Even past Prime Access comes back in Resurgence after a few years. Nightwave brings back old items from past story events. The only thing that has never returned was the Founders Packs, for a good reason. The Heirloom collection feels like a rehash of the Founders marketing in the present state of them game where it’s most likely not trying to stay afloat. FOMO has never existed in Warframe, and it shouldn’t be added now.

Don’t even get me started on that 10 year Accolade in the packs. Accolades have usually been for people who made a notable contribution to the game. Founders, Closed Beta testers, Creators. All of them have some sort of impact on the game be it keeping it afloat in the starting year or contributing to the Community. Now a shiny sticker can be added to any account for as low as $30. I’ve been playing the game for 8 years. I’m not a ‘10 year supporter’ yet. The wording itself insinuates that to supoort the game for a decade, you need to pay. That Accolade should have been something added automatically when your account turns 10 years old.

Overall I’m extremely disappointed bu the Heirloom marketing as it stands. Will I buy it down the road? Chances are high when I’m not bleeding for food with school going on, which is at the very end of the year right before it goes away cause I also give into FOMO. DE has adjusted their strategies before, and I hope they do so now. But this has already set a bad first impressions for any future Heirloom content.

Anyway, rant over on that. Sound panel was cool. Always cool to hear how specific sounds are made like Kullervo. The Heirloom debacle kinda soured my mood for a bit, so I focused more on studying my classes and then went shopping with my roommates.

Came back a little late to TennoLive, probably halfways thru the Soulframe demo. From what I saw I really like the whole concept and thematic. The little turtle guy is so cute. Excited to see more of its development and eventually play it.

The Warframe aspect I had more range of feelings. Whispers in the Wall looks really cool and I’m excited for exploring what the fuck Albrecht is doing. I love how its expanding Deimos more, instead of adding another island and button to navigation. It feels like it’ll require the New War to access, since its all based around the aesthetic of the Man in the Wall seen at the very end of the quest. I’m very interest in the human Loid (best design from Liger since Nezha Empyrean imo). I hope he gives more insight into the attitudes of the Orokin since he is 99% likely from before the Old War.

And… Warframe 1999. I got sucked into Warframe because of it’s unique spin on fantasy sci-fi. And throughout the 8 years I’ve played it’s stuck to its aethetic formula to a T. Seeing CRT monitors and Nokias along with Entrati designs, the modern sci-fi elements and callbacks to Dark Sector makes it feel out of place. Blasphemous almost. But, I’ve had this feeling before with Duviri. I had reservations as to whether Duviri would break the Warframe Universe as we knew it. But DE made the Paradox make sense, and the aethetic language of the world fits perfectly into the formula. I absolutely love Duviri. I need to see more and play 1999 in order to feel how it connects to the Origin System and Duviri as a whole, be it the very distant past (and being born in 99 myself makes me…. Haaaaa) or a parallel universe connected by Void Fuckery(tm). But seeing how Duviri played out I have no real doubts DE won’t pull it off again.

Repercussions from Finns Party MP Timo Vornanen's night out last Thursday continue to reverberate around Finnish politics.

The North Karelian legislator was taken into custody by police, and is now suspected of firing a shot into the ground following an altercation at a karaoke bar in the early hours of Friday morning.

Helsingin Sanomat has interviewed several people present at the bar on Thursday, and offered new details about Vornanen's evening. It's an extensive story including several details not previously known, and is cited in several other media outlets on Tuesday.

Iltalehti, meanwhile, has a piece on Vornanen's other profession — policing. He is currently on leave from the police after his election last year, but can he continue to hold that position?

North Karelia police chief Samppa Holopainen was cautious, saying that it depends on many factors.

He declined to comment directly on the Vornanen case but speaking on a general level, he said that if charges are filed and an individual is convicted, then the police force would weigh those factors in deciding on appropriate disciplinary action.

Banking deception

Business daily Kauppalehti ran an unsettling editorial in which they detail recent events at the OmaSäästöpankki bank.

The bank has admitted a senior employee had downplayed the risks of its property loan portfolio, causing a 19 million euro dent in first quarter results.

The bank says it has learnt a valuable lesson, and the individual responsible for entering false data in its systems is no longer working for the institution.

This instance affected a small part of a sector that's responsible for just three percent of the bank's six billion euro balance sheet. While shocking, the OmaSäästöpankki revelations are quite small-scale.

But Kauppalehti asks unsettling questions about whether the next banking scandal might be on an altogether larger scale.

Loan books at the Silicon Valley Bank caused a bank run and a collapse last year, and the European Central Bank has warned of risks in the property sector.

With property and construction facing difficult times in the next year or two, KL asks if there is a possibility the next banking scandal might be much bigger.

Tappara shares on offer

Yesterday's paper review included news of Tappara's latest ice hockey championship, and today's edition includes a tip (from Aamulehti) on buying a chunk of Finland's most successful hockey club.

Some 1,580 shares in Tappara are being auctioned off on huutokaupat.com, as part of bankruptcy proceedings against the previous owner.

The shares would give the new owner a spot among the top 17 owners of the club. Others include the Finnish-British-Israeli London resident Chaim "Poju" Zabludowicz, and Florida Panthers centre Alexander Barkov.

At the time of writing there had been 49 offers from 11 bidders, with the highest at 45,500 euros. There are 18 days to go in the auction.

​Clan capitalism

Ukraine became independent in 1991 following a referendum in which more than 90% of voters voted in favor.[3] Until 2014, Russia accepted this result and recognized Ukraine’s existence in a sort of regime of “limited sovereignty”. Ukraine was tied to its larger neighbor by economic relations[4] and Russia was able to use its local clients to influence internal political development. The latter has long been turbulent.

The period of economic transition in which Ukraine followed, to some extent, the prescriptions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, quickly created a new capitalist class. At first, it was composed mainly of “red directors” (i.e., the managerial cadres of the Stalinist regime), and later also of broader layers – from the ranks of the technical intelligentsia, various parts of the state apparatus and the criminal underworld. The 1990s were a true Eldorado for this class, though often quite dangerous for its individual members. Using both legal and extralegal methods, it seized key enterprises and banks, which it either stripped of all assets or concentrated into giant holdings and investment groups. Profits were exported to tax havens. At the same time, it began to take control of the media and politics. Unlike its predecessors in the Stalinist nomenklatura, it also managed to integrate itself into the global capitalist class, at least in terms of the use of its consumption fund (yachts and luxury properties abroad, jets, as well as private investments in international financial markets).

Meanwhile, Ukraine’s real GDP per capita was in steady decline– up until 2000. Average life expectancy decreased from 70.5 (in 1989) to 67.7 years. Non-payment of wages,[5] work in the informal economy, and a decline in purchasing power became everyday realities for the Ukrainian working class. Although the numerous strikes, marches, hunger strikes, and blockades have managed to score some local successes (e.g., the payment of wage arrears, postponement of privatization, etc.), they failed to change the overall course or create a broader movement.

The story so far is not that different from the Russian one.[6] However, the centralization and consolidation that Putin implemented after the Asian financial crisis and the collapse of the ruble (1997–98) never took place in Ukraine. Putin gradually nationalized some energy companies, built a “power vertical”, whose backbone was formed by security service cadres and various personal friends, and subordinated the oligarchs to this structure. The latter has since overseen the distribution of rent derived mainly from fossil fuel extraction. Ukraine’s domestic capitalist class, by contrast, has remained divided into competing “clans” that are tied to specific sectors of the economy and geographic regions.[7] The rivalry between these factions of Ukrainian capital has been the basis of political instability.

The numerous movements of political protest which often also voiced social and welfare demands were always co-opted by a political project of one of the groups – either from the very beginning or gradually. The “Ukraine without Kuchma” (2001–2002) and “Arise, Ukraine!” (2002–2003) protests were directed against President Leonid Kuchma, involved in several scandals, including the murder of a journalist. The “Orange Revolution” (2004–2005) was in response to the electoral fraud of the then prime minister and presidential candidate Viktor Yanukovych, as well as the suspicious privatization of Ukraine’s largest steelworks in Kryvyi Rih (Dnipropetrovsk Oblast), in which Kuchma’s brother-in-law was involved along with the former Donetsk gangster, Rinat Akhmetov. The movement “Rise up, Ukraine!” (2013) opposed President Yanukovych and his attempts to consolidate power. Finally, the Euromaidan (2014) was a reaction to his decision not to sign the Association Agreement with the European Union. The most successful of these movements, the Orange Revolution, and the Euromaidan, may have led to a change of political leadership, but they did not significantly shake the position of the clans, let alone the clan system as such. Ultimately, they became a means of bringing another faction of the domestic business class to power.

The lumpen-capitalist competition, in which one or the other faction gained control of the state (and thus preferential access to loans, subsidies and contracts), explains, at least in part, why the state has failed to impose a long-term, viable development plan on the country. On the other hand, this unstable environment also left some room for the development of a resistant civil society, including independent trade unions, activist organizations, and the radical left.[8]

Russia maintained an influence over Ukraine through those sections of the local capitalist class that were materially interested in maintaining close relations – for example, in the interests of their own sales, favorable prices for inputs (especially, but not exclusively, energy inputs), or gas transfer fees. The capital base of this faction was mainly concentrated in the Donbas, the former industrial heartland of the Soviet Union, home to a large Russian-speaking population and the birthplace of the Stakhanovite “movement”. In the 1990s it was the scene of the bloodiest conflicts within the capitalist class, a center of organized crime – but also the epicenter of the tragedy of the “old” working class, especially the miners. Their mass strikes in the late 1980s and early 1990s helped destroy the Soviet regime and win Ukraine’s independence,[9] but after a wave of privatizations, asset stripping and bankruptcies, many found themselves with no jobs or prospects. Between 1992 and 2013, the population of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts fell by 1.7 million, declining at twice the rate of the rest of the country.[10]

[3] This was about 76% of all eligible voters. In Crimea, support for independence was the weakest, at around 54% of the vote. Similarly in Crimea’s Sevastopol, which was a separate constituency – 57%. In Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, however, almost 84% of those who voted were in favor of independence. Wikipedia summarizes the results in detail.

[4] As recently as 2013, imports from Russia accounted for 29% of total imports of goods; exports to Russia accounted for almost 23% of Ukrainian exports of goods. By 2020, both indicators had dropped to 11% and 6%, respectively (see oec.world). On the other hand, exports to the EU15 already accounted for a larger share of total Ukrainian exports than exports to Russia in 2002. Thus, the dependence of Ukrainian industry on Russian gas and oil has played a decisive role. 

[5] A specific feature of the Ukrainian (as well as Russian) transition was that official unemployment never reached a level close to twenty percent, such as in Poland (2002) or Slovakia (2001). Workers in enterprises that ran into trouble remained formally employed but were not paid – although in many cases they continued to work. Sometimes they received payments in kind instead of cash.

[6] Of course, in many respects it is also reminiscent of the history of other former Eastern Bloc countries, including Slovakia.

[7] The history and structure of the “clans” is described in “The Oligarchic Democracy” by Sławomir Matuszak. See also “The Consolidation of Ukrainian Business Clans” by Viatcheslav Avioutskii.

[8] A peculiar phenomenon of political life in Ukraine was the emergence of a seriesof fake left-wing groups founded around 2000 by the same circle of people. These pseudo-organizations established contacts with foreign “internationals”, mainly of the Trotskyist variety, and lured material aid or money from them. It was enough to write that they identified with their political program and wanted to become a Ukrainian or Russian section. Despite personal meetings, it took three or four years for the foreign donors – delighted by the unexpected growth of the workers’ movement in the former Eastern Bloc – to discover that their “partners” were in fact political hucksters. The scandal had seriously damaged the international reputation of the Ukrainian left, though one may also pause at the credulity of Western leftists.

[9] On earlier strikes by Donbas miners for economic demands and democratization, see the documentary Perestroika from Below (1989). Later strikes had more explicit political demands, including national independence. See the interviews with strike leaders in Donetsk, as well as a brief documentary (with English subtitles). The history of miners’ protest from perestroika to 2000 is summarized in an essay by Vlad Mykhnenko subtitled “Ukrainian miners and their defeat”. See also the recollections of the Dnipro working-class militant, Oleg Dubrovsky, in a 1996 interview (in English), as well as his analysis of the process of privatization of the mining industry (in Russian).

[10] One of the consequences of the disintegration of the mining industry in the Donbas has been the growth of illegal mining in the so-called kopanki. A section of the 2005 documentary, Workingman’s Death, focuses on the phenomenon. The post-apocalyptic landscape of the Donetsk Oblast is depicted in the short documentary, Life After the Mine (2013).

The Amazing Facts and Stories of Dubai that You Might Not Know

"Have you ever wondered how Dubai became one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world? How did this city transform from a small fishing village to a global metropolis in just a few decades? What are the secrets behind its success and appeal?

As a travel enthusiast and a frequent visitor to Dubai, I have always been fascinated by this city and its history. I have done extensive research and explored many aspects of Dubai’s culture, economy, and attractions. In this answer, I will share with you some of the most amazing facts and stories about Dubai that you might not know.

I will cover the following topics:

The origins and evolution of Dubai

The vision and leadership of Dubai’s rulers

The innovation and diversity of Dubai’s projects

The challenges and opportunities of Dubai’s future

By the end of this answer, you will have a better understanding and appreciation of Dubai and its achievements. You might even want to visit it yourself someday!

The Origins and Evolution Of Dubai

Dubai's history dates back to the 18th century when it was a small settlement of fishermen and pearl divers on the banks of Dubai Creek. The creek was a natural harbor that facilitated trade and commerce with neighboring regions. Dubai soon became a thriving port and a hub for regional and international trade.

In the early 20th century, Dubai faced several challenges, such as the collapse of the pearl industry, the Great Depression, and the World Wars. However, Dubai's rulers managed to overcome these difficulties and maintain the city's prosperity and stability. They also established friendly relations with other countries and joined the United Arab Emirates in 1971.

The turning point in Dubai's history came in 1966, when oil was discovered in its offshore fields. This gave Dubai a huge boost in its economy and development. Dubai's rulers invested the oil revenues wisely and strategically in various sectors, such as infrastructure, education, health, tourism, and finance. They also diversified the economy and reduced its dependence on oil.

Dubai's growth and transformation accelerated in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, when it launched several ambitious and innovative projects that made it a global leader in many fields. Some of these projects include:

The Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world

The Palm Jumeirah, the largest artificial island in the world

The Dubai Mall, the largest shopping mall in the world

The Dubai Metro, the longest driverless metro system in the world

The Dubai Miracle Garden, the largest natural flower garden in the world

The Dubai Frame, the largest picture frame in the world

These are just some of the examples of Dubai's achievements and attractions that make it a unique and remarkable city. In the next section, I will discuss how Dubai's vision and leadership contributed to its success and appeal.

The vision and leadership of Dubai's rulers

One of the main factors that enabled Dubai's rapid and remarkable development is the vision and leadership of its rulers. Dubai's rulers have always been visionary and forward-thinking, anticipating the future needs and opportunities of their city and their people. They have also been courageous and bold, taking calculated risks and making smart decisions that paid off in the long run.

Dubai's current ruler, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, is a prime example of a visionary and a leader. He is the Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and the Ruler of Dubai since 2006. He is also the founder and chairman of the Dubai Future Foundation, which aims to shape the future of Dubai and the world through innovation and collaboration.

Sheikh Mohammed has a clear and ambitious vision for Dubai, which he outlined in his book "My Vision: Challenges in the Race for Excellence". He wants Dubai to be:

A city of happy, creative, and empowered people

A city of tolerance, harmony, and diversity

A city of excellence, innovation, and competitiveness

A city of culture, heritage, and identity

A city of sustainability, resilience, and opportunity

To achieve this vision, Sheikh Mohammed has launched several initiatives and strategies that guide Dubai's development and progress. Some of these include:

The Dubai Plan 2021, which sets the strategic goals and priorities for Dubai's social, economic, environmental, and urban development

The Dubai Smart City Initiative, which aims to transform Dubai into the smartest and happiest city in the world by leveraging technology and innovation

The Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030, which aims to enhance Dubai's industrial sector and increase its contribution to the GDP

The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to make Dubai a global hub for clean energy and green economy

The Dubai 3D Printing Strategy, which aims to make Dubai a global leader in 3D printing technology and applications

These are just some of the examples of Sheikh Mohammed's vision and leadership that inspire and motivate Dubai's people and partners to work together towards a common goal: making Dubai the best city in the world. In the next section, I will discuss how Dubai's innovation and diversity make it a dynamic and attractive city.

The innovation and diversity of Dubai's projects

Another factor that makes Dubai a unique and remarkable city is the innovation and diversity of its projects. Dubai is always looking for new and creative ways to improve its quality of life, enhance its competitiveness, and showcase its identity. Dubai is also open to different cultures, ideas, and perspectives, which enrich its society and economy.

Dubai's projects reflect its innovation and diversity in many ways. Some of these include:

The Dubai Expo 2020, which is the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia region. The Expo will showcase the achievements and aspirations of 192 countries and millions of visitors under the theme "Connecting Minds, Creating the Future". The Expo will also feature three sub-themes: Opportunity, Mobility, and Sustainability.

The Museum of the Future, which is a futuristic museum that will explore the emerging trends and technologies that will shape the future of humanity. The museum will also serve as a platform for innovation and collaboration among experts, researchers, and innovators from various fields and disciplines.

The Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, which is the largest project of its kind in the world. The reserve covers 10% of Dubai's total area and hosts more than 40 plant species, 10 reptile species, 9 mammal species, and more than 360 bird species. The reserve also offers various activities and experiences for visitors, such as camel trekking, cycling, camping, and wildlife watching.

The Dubai Design District (d3), which is a creative hub that supports the growth and development of the design industry in Dubai and the region. d3 hosts local and international designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and innovators who work in various fields, such as fashion, architecture, graphic design, and digital media. d3 also organizes events and programs that promote design education, culture, and community.

These are just some of the examples that Dubai faces in its innovative and diverse projects that make it a vibrant and attractive city. In the next section, I will discuss some of the challenges and opportunities of Dubai's future.

The challenges and opportunities of Dubai's future

Dubai has achieved remarkable success and progress in a short span of time, but it also faces some challenges and opportunities in its future. Dubai's vision and leadership, innovation and diversity, and projects and achievements have prepared it well for the future, but it also needs to adapt and evolve to the changing needs and expectations of its people and the world.

Some of the challenges that Dubai faces in its future include:

Maintaining its economic growth and diversification in a competitive and uncertain global environment

Balancing its development and expansion with its environmental and social sustainability

Preserving its culture and identity while embracing its diversity and openness

Enhancing its security and stability in a volatile and complex regional context

Fostering its human capital and talent development in a dynamic and digital era

Some of the opportunities that Dubai has in its future include:

Leveraging its strategic location and connectivity as a gateway and hub for trade, tourism, and innovation

Harnessing its technological capabilities and infrastructure as a platform for smart solutions and services

Capitalizing on its creative potential and culture as a source of inspiration and expression

Strengthening its partnerships and collaborations with other countries and organizations as a leader and contributor to global development

Building on its legacy and reputation as a city of excellence, happiness, and possibility

Dubai has a bright and promising future ahead of it, as long as it continues to pursue its vision with passion, determination, and resilience. Dubai has proven itself to be a city that can overcome any challenge and seize any opportunity. . From the breathtaking landmarks to the bustling markets, it has something to offer for everyone.

And with the addition of Dubai Desert Safari, the city has even more to explore.Dubai has shown the world what it can do, and it will continue to do so.

This concludes my answer to the question: How did Dubai become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world? I hope you enjoyed reading it and learned something new. Thank you for your time and attention.

Brazil leads as open banking takes off in Latam

Following the lead of open banking initiatives in Europe and the UK, five countries in Latin America – Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Mexico – have backed open finance regulations or are implementing them.

“There are a number of success stories in other parts of the world, specifically Latin America, where open finance is really having a massive impact on the financial sector and on financial inclusion,” says Pablo Viguera, co-CEO and co-founder of open finance platform Belvo. 

Brazil has reached five million connected accounts less than a year after the first implementation deadline passed, a feat which took between four and five years in the UK, according to a report by Open Banking Excellence. 

As of February 2023, after two years, there are already 22 million customers in Brazil who consented to share their personal and banking data between participating financial institutions, according to Febraban, the association of Brazilian banks.

The principle of full interoperability has been the main driver of the open finance initiative in Brazil since the country opted out of a model in which all institutions plug into a single institution. Finally, Brazil not only defined its application programming interface (API) standards but also the required steps in the customer journey.

Don’t Fear the Seasons – Sell in May

But don’t go away. We actually sold some positions in April when we issued our MACD Best 6 Months Seasonal Sell Signal to Almanac Investor subscribers. Reposition in May is a better strategy. Best & Worst Months stats plus a compounding onetime $10K investment tell the story. Can’t argue with success.

Worst Six Months May-October is not a binary selloff. Risk is elevated historically, stocks tend to be volatile, moving sideways with choppy trading – illustrated in the chart. Anyone who tries to refute this by going back past WWII is making a moot point as the seasonal pattern was inverted when our economy was agrarian driven in yesteryear.

We sold $DIA & $SPY, plus other seasonal sector trades, underperforming stocks and rotated into some bond ETFs. This is the time of year we shift to a neutral stance – between our Dow/S&P Best Six Months MACD Sell Signal and our NASDAQ Best 8 Months MACD Seasonal Sell on or after June 1.

Everyone gets hyper focused on whether you should Sell in May or not. But forget as I like to say: “Buy in October and get yourself sober.” From my October 4 Buy Signal to my April 25 Sell DIA and SPY trades were up 10.8% and 8.2% respectively. QQQ is up 15.5% from the October 4 Buy as of midafternoon trading today.

If there is any year it’s time to get defensive in May, it’s this year. With the debt ceiling showdown, the banking crisis, inflation, interest rates and the slowing economy, it is a perfect time to move to the sidelines and enjoy the healthy yields in bonds.

What is the primary purpose of fundraising

Fundraising is the lifeblood of many organizations, especially NGOs. It's not just about collecting money; it's about creating a sustainable future for missions that matter. Whether it’s funding community programs, supporting innovative projects, or simply keeping the lights on, effective fundraising plays a critical role in making these initiatives possible. But what drives this essential process? Understanding the primary purpose behind fundraising can illuminate its importance and impact.

As we explore this vital topic, you'll discover how securing financial resources goes hand-in-hand with building relationships and raising awareness. Each aspect contributes to an NGO's ability to thrive and make meaningful changes in society. Let’s dive into the core purposes of fundraising and see why it remains crucial for achieving goals and fostering positive transformations in our communities.

What is the Primary Purpose of Fundraising?

Fundraising serves multiple purposes, but its primary aim is to gather the necessary resources that enable organizations to operate effectively. This financial support empowers NGOs to carry out their missions and fulfill their commitments.

Beyond mere monetary acquisition, fundraising acts as a catalyst for change. It allows organizations to innovate, expand their reach, and enhance services. Each dollar raised directly contributes to projects that create lasting impacts in communities.

Moreover, successful fundraising enhances visibility and credibility. When an NGO demonstrates strong financial backing through effective campaigns, it builds trust with stakeholders and potential donors alike.

Fundraising is more than just dollars in a bank account; it's about fostering hope and enabling actions that align with an organization’s vision. Understanding this foundational role can inspire both fundraisers and supporters alike in their shared journey toward meaningful impact.

Securing Essential Financial Resources

Securing essential financial resources stands at the core of successful fundraising efforts. For NGOs, these funds are vital to sustain operations and drive impactful programs.

Without adequate financing, even the most promising initiatives may falter. Donors provide not just monetary support but also validate the organization’s mission. This trust is crucial for long-term success.

Fundraising can take various forms—grants, individual donations, events, or corporate sponsorships. Each method offers unique benefits and aligns with different strategic goals.

Building a diverse funding portfolio reduces dependency on any single source. This approach enhances stability and allows NGOs to navigate unpredictable economic climates.

Moreover, transparent financial practices foster donor confidence. When potential supporters see how their contributions make a difference, they’re more inclined to invest in your cause again.

Building and Maintaining Relationships

Building and maintaining relationships is a cornerstone of effective fundraising. Trust is essential, especially in the NGO sector. When donors feel connected to an organization, they are more likely to contribute.

Engagement goes beyond asking for money. Regular communication fosters a sense of community among supporters. Sharing stories about beneficiaries creates emotional ties that resonate with potential donors.

Events and personal interactions also play a crucial role. Whether through face-to-face meetings or virtual gatherings, these experiences can deepen connections and encourage ongoing support.

Transparency further strengthens these bonds. Keeping donors informed about how their contributions make an impact builds loyalty and encourages repeat giving.

Strong relationships lead to sustainable funding sources. Engaged supporters become advocates who share your mission wider than you could reach alone.

Raising Awareness and Promoting the Mission

Fundraising goes beyond just financial support. It serves as a powerful tool for raising awareness about important issues. When organizations promote their mission through fundraising efforts, they engage the community in conversations that matter.

This engagement helps to educate donors and potential supporters about the challenges faced by those the organization aims to help. Personal stories and testimonials can resonate deeply, creating emotional connections that inspire action.

By promoting their mission alongside fundraising activities, NGOs can reach new audiences who may not have been aware of their work before. This expanded visibility is essential for fostering partnerships and attracting volunteers who share similar values.

Raising awareness through well-planned fundraising initiatives amplifies an organization's voice in its respective field. It encourages collective participation towards meaningful change within communities while solidifying donor loyalty over time.

Ensuring Organizational Stability and Growth

Organizational stability is vital for NGOs aiming to make a lasting impact. Fundraising plays a crucial role in creating this foundation. Without consistent financial support, even the best initiatives can falter.

Through effective fundraising strategies, an NGO can secure ongoing resources. This ensures that operations run smoothly and projects are implemented without interruption.

A steady cash flow also allows organizations to plan for future growth. With reliable funding, they can explore new programs or expand existing ones. Growth opportunities often arise unexpectedly; being financially prepared makes it easier to seize them.

Moreover, maintaining relationships with donors fosters trust and stability. When donors see their contributions leading to tangible results, they’re more likely to continue supporting the cause.

In essence, fundraising isn't just about raising money—it's about building resilience and setting the stage for long-term success within the community served by the NGO.

Supporting Strategic Goals and Innovations

Supporting strategic goals and fostering innovation are crucial components of effective fundraising. When organizations align their fundraising efforts with specific objectives, they create a clear path toward achieving impactful results.

Funds raised can be directed to new projects that enhance service delivery or improve operational efficiency. This targeted approach ensures resources are invested where they matter most.

Moreover, innovative ideas often require financial backing for development and execution. By securing donations that support these initiatives, NGOs can explore uncharted territories and adapt to changing community needs.

Engaging stakeholders in this process not only enhances transparency but also builds trust. Donors appreciate knowing their contributions fuel meaningful advancements within the organization’s mission.

Investing in strategic goals through fundraising empowers NGOs to remain dynamic and responsive while driving positive change in society.

Why fundraising is crucial for achieving goals and making a difference

Fundraising plays a pivotal role in turning visions into tangible realities. For NGOs, it provides the necessary financial resources to launch impactful programs and initiatives.

Additionally, successful fundraising fosters community involvement. Engaged donors become advocates for the cause, amplifying its reach and significance.

It’s not just about money; it's about building connections. Fundraising creates bonds between organizations and their supporters. These relationships often lead to collaboration and shared goals.

Moreover, consistent funding helps NGOs remain agile. It allows them to adapt quickly to challenges or opportunities that arise in their mission-driven work.

Every dollar raised is a step towards making a lasting impact on society. When funds are directed strategically, they can catalyze significant change within communities and beyond.

Conclusion

Understanding the primary purpose of fundraising is essential for any organization looking to create a meaningful impact. Fundraising serves as the backbone for NGOs, empowering them to secure vital financial resources that fuel their mission. It enables organizations to build and maintain strong relationships with donors and supporters, fostering a community committed to the cause.

Successful NGO consulting hinges on understanding these fundamental aspects of fundraising. It's not just about raising money; it’s about making a difference in people's lives through thoughtful planning and execution of strategies that align closely with an organization's vision and values.

Is Jack Mason Inc & Co the Most Resilient CEO in the UK? Here’s Why!

In today’s rapidly changing business landscape, few traits are as essential to success as resilience. Whether navigating industry downturns, acquiring distressed businesses, or steering a company through economic challenges, the ability to remain focused and adaptable is critical for any leader. One individual who consistently demonstrates such resilience is Jack Mason, the Group CEO of Inc & Co. Despite facing significant adversity, including public scrutiny and legal battles, Mason has cemented himself as a standout leader in the UK business community.

The Rise of Inc & Co: A Story of Resilience

To understand Jack Mason’s resilience, it’s important to look at the success of Inc & Co, a company founded with a mission to acquire and revitalise struggling businesses.

Under Mason’s leadership, Inc & Co has grown into a real powerhouse in the business world, with a portfolio spanning various sectors including retail, travel, digital, and flexible workspace. The company’s success stems not only from acquiring businesses but also from ensuring their long-term growth and sustainability.

What sets Jack Mason apart is his ability to identify opportunities in businesses that others may overlook. Inc & Co is best known for turning around distressed companies—those on the brink of failure. In many cases, Mason has managed to save jobs that might otherwise have been lost. This focus on preserving employment has earned him widespread respect, but it has also come with significant challenges, testing his leadership and resilience every step of the way.

Jack Mason: Facing the Challenges Head-On

Running a business group like Inc & Co is no small feat, and Mason has faced his fair share of challenges. Acquiring distressed businesses is, by its very nature, fraught with risk. From restructuring companies to dealing with difficult financial situations, Mason’s role as CEO often requires him to make tough decisions.

One of the most notable tests of his resilience came during the COVID-19 pandemic, a time when many businesses struggled to stay afloat. Mason was at the forefront of ensuring Inc & Co’s portfolio companies adapted to the shifting market demands.

Whether it was transitioning businesses to online platforms, renegotiating supplier contracts, or finding creative ways to cut costs without cutting jobs, Mason’s leadership was pivotal. His ability to pivot and innovate during this period showcased his resilience in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Even beyond the pandemic, Mason’s resilience has been tested by public and legal scrutiny. Legal disputes, particularly the recent battle with Barclays Bank, have brought unwanted and unmerited attention. However, rather than shy away from the spotlight, Mason has remained focused on his core mission—turning around businesses, protecting jobs, and creating value. This ability to keep moving forward, even when facing adversity, defines Mason’s leadership style.

The Key Qualities of a Resilient Leader

So, what makes Jack Mason one of the most resilient CEOs in the UK? Several key qualities stand out. Firstly, adaptability is at the heart of Mason’s approach. In a fast-paced and ever-evolving business environment, the ability to adapt to new situations is crucial. Mason has shown time and again that he can adjust strategies, embrace new technologies, and pivot when necessary. This adaptability has been particularly evident in his handling of legal challenges, where his focus remains on ensuring the success of Inc & Co’s businesses rather than getting bogged down by external distractions.

Secondly, decision-making under pressure is another trait that defines Mason’s leadership. Running a group of companies that specialise in acquiring distressed businesses means that Mason is often faced with high-stakes decisions. These decisions not only impact the financial success of the business but also affect the livelihoods of employees. His ability to make quick, informed decisions has been instrumental in turning around many of Inc & Co’s acquisitions. Moreover, emotional intelligence is a cornerstone of Mason’s leadership. His focus on saving jobs and ensuring that businesses survive speaks to his empathy for the people who work for him. Mason’s resilience is not just about bouncing back from challenges; it’s also about understanding the human aspect of business and making decisions that benefit all stakeholders.

Finally, Mason’s forward-thinking mindset plays a significant role in his resilience. He is always looking ahead, anticipating challenges, and planning for the future. This strategic foresight enables him to stay one step ahead of competitors and navigate his businesses through turbulent times.

Leading by Example: Creating a Resilient Company Culture

One of the most fascinating aspects of Mason’s leadership is how his resilience filters down through Inc & Co. The company’s culture is one that values innovation, adaptability, and perseverance—traits that mirror Mason’s own leadership style.

Employees at Inc & Co are encouraged to embrace challenges, think creatively, and remain focused on long-term success, even in the face of short-term difficulties.

This culture of resilience is particularly evident in Inc & Co’s approach to managing its portfolio companies. When a business is acquired, the focus is not solely on cutting costs or streamlining operations. Instead, Mason and his team work closely with the company’s leadership to identify growth opportunities, retain talent, and invest in the future. This holistic approach is a testament to Mason’s belief that resilience is about more than just surviving difficult times—it’s about thriving despite them.

Legal Scrutiny and Public Perception: Staying Focused Amidst Controversy

Recently, Jack Mason has been in the public eye due to a legal dispute with Barclays Bank, a case that has sparked controversy and generated negative and very one-sided media attention. However, rather than allowing this to derail his focus, Mason has remained steadfast in his commitment to Inc & Co’s mission. He understands that public scrutiny is part and parcel of running a large business and that resilience is about weathering the storm, not avoiding it.

The legal challenges Mason faces are complex, but they do not define his leadership or the success of Inc & Co. Instead, they serve as yet another example of the adversity he has faced and overcome throughout his career. As Mason continues to lead Inc & Co through this period of scrutiny, his resilience will undoubtedly be a key factor in how both he and the company emerge from these challenges.

Looking to the Future: How Resilience Will Shape Mason’s Next Steps

As the business world continues to evolve, Jack Mason’s resilience will remain a crucial asset. Inc & Co is positioned for growth, and Mason’s ability to lead through uncertainty will ensure the company’s continued success. Whether it’s navigating new acquisitions, managing legal challenges, or adapting to global economic shifts, Mason’s resilience will continue to set him apart as one of the UK’s most formidable business leaders.

In the end, Jack Mason’s story is one of perseverance, adaptability, and a relentless focus on long-term success. While challenges may arise, his resilience will undoubtedly see him through—and it’s this quality that makes him one of the most respected and resilient CEOs in the UK today.

Jack Mason’s journey as Group CEO of Inc & Co is a testament to the power of resilience. From acquiring distressed businesses to navigating legal challenges, Mason has repeatedly shown that he has the strength and determination to overcome adversity. His ability to make tough decisions, adapt to new circumstances, and lead with empathy has set him apart as a leader. As the business world continues to evolve, Mason’s resilience will ensure that both he and Inc & Co remain at the forefront of innovation and success.

Whether through turning around failing companies, preserving jobs, or steering his business through global uncertainty, Jack Mason exemplifies what it means to be a resilient leader. For those seeking inspiration in the face of adversity, Mason’s leadership at Inc & Co provides a blueprint for success in today’s challenging business environment.

How Banking Advertising Connects Brands with Diverse Audiences?

In the dynamic world of finance, effective promotion plays a critical role in connecting with customers. Among the myriad strategies available to banks, one stands out for its ability to broadcast messages far and wide, touching on both the pragmatic and aspirational aspects of financial services: banking advertising. This powerful tool not only aids in brand promotion but also significantly widens the scope of audience engagement, allowing financial institutions to cast a broader net and attract diverse demographic segments.

In the competitive banking sector, distinguishing one's brand from the rest is paramount. Here, the strategic use of advertising can elevate a bank's image, showcasing its unique value proposition, innovative products, and commitment to customer satisfaction. When executed with precision and creativity, this type of advertising can transform the public perception of a bank, highlighting its strengths and services in ways that resonate with the needs and dreams of potential clients. The portrayal of relatable financial success stories, the promise of robust support in managing finances, and the commitment to technological innovation are themes that, when woven into the fabric of an institution's marketing efforts, can significantly enhance its attractiveness to a wider audience.

Moreover, the advent of digital platforms has revolutionized the approach to this advertising strategy. Banks now have the unparalleled opportunity to leverage social media, online banking portals, and finance-related apps to deliver tailored messages. This digital evolution means advertisements can be more targeted and personalized than ever before, reaching specific segments of the population at the right time and in the right context. For instance, millennials and Gen Z, who are digital natives, can be engaged through platforms they frequent with messages that speak directly to their financial aspirations and concerns. Simultaneously, more traditional media channels continue to play a vital role in reaching audiences who prefer conventional banking and financial management practices. The multi-channel approach ensures that the message of financial empowerment and security reaches every corner, attracting a diverse clientele.

Additionally, transparency and integrity in this form of advertising are crucial in building and maintaining trust. Financial services, by their nature, require a high degree of trust between the customer and the provider. Advertisements that are clear, honest, and upfront about the benefits, as well as any potential risks of products and services, lay a solid foundation for lasting relationships. Through demonstrating a commitment to customer welfare and financial literacy, banks can establish themselves as reliable partners in their clients' financial journeys.

In conclusion, banking advertising plays a pivotal role in the strategies banks use to promote themselves and to expand their reach. This multifaceted tool facilitates a connection with a broad spectrum of potential clients by engaging them where they are, in ways that speak to their individual financial scenarios and aspirations. Through the strategic blending of messaging across various media channels and focusing on the genuine value that banking services provide to customers, financial institutions have the power to significantly enhance their brand visibility and appeal. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, so too will the strategies employed by banks to communicate their value, always with an eye towards fostering deeper connections and trust with consumers across the globe.
