AdvertisementMindy Wight, CEO of the Squamish development group building Sen̓áḵw, called it "the creation of a modern Squamish village" in an interview with Business Insider. Canada's federal auditor general recently condemned a "distressing and persistent pattern of failure" by federal programs designed to support First Nations housing and infrastructure, among other services. The housing projects aren't the only major developments underway on indigenous land in Canada. There are no housing or infrastructure developments on US tribal land that match the scale of the First Nations projects in Canada. While some Native American tribes have spearheaded significant housing projects, most indigenous-owned land in the US isn't in the most valuable housing markets.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailNintendo stock could rise by 30% on Switch 2 success, analyst saysDavid Gibson, senior research analyst at MST Marquee, has predicted that the shares of Nintendo could increase by up to 30%. Gibson sees the stock rerating thanks to the Japanese company's new theme park venture in Florida, which is expected to bring in more revenue. Additionally, the launch of Nintendo's next-generation device later this year could result in a migration of its existing 120 million users from the current Switch console.

Gibson, a senior research analyst at financial services firm MST Marquee, has set a price target of 11,000 Japanese yen ($74) for Nintendo's stock. This represents a 31% upside over the current price. He told the investment bank's clients that Nintendo could delay the Switch 2 launch if the momentum for the current console remains strong. The analyst has rated Nintendo a buy but set a conservative price target of 8,400 yen. However, if the new console fails to gain traction with consumers, Gibson cautioned that Nintendo's stock is likely to miss his price target.

Washington has targeted Arizona's Jedd Fisch and is negotiating a deal with him to succeed Kalen DeBoer as the next coach of the Huskies, according to a person with knowledge of the talks. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because Arizona and Fisch were not making any public announcements yet. Less than a week after playing for the national championship, the Huskies moved quickly to fill the vacancy created when DeBoer left for Alabama. Arizona is moving to the Big 12 starting next season but is facing financial issues within its athletic department, and Fisch could see more stability at Washington. Fisch, 47, would be the fourth head coach at Washington since the 2019 season.

"It's the first time we're hiring a chief step officer — and I believe it's the first chief step officer ever," Walton said.

For the new company's first hire, GymBird is choosing one lucky person to walk 10,000 steps in one day for $10,000, according to its site. Accepting the offer requires the CSO to train for a month until they feel comfortable walking 10,000 steps in a single day. "By the last day of the month, they must walk the full 10,000 steps within a 24-hour period," GymBird wrote in its job offering. Just under 10,000 steps each day (9,800) can lower risk of dementia by 50%, according to two studies published in JAMA Neurology and JAMA Internal Medicine last year. For every 2,000 steps you walk daily, you can reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease and premature death by 10%, peaking at 10,000 steps, the research shows.

☆ Record retail theft puts pressure on Australian supermarket giants
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-02 | by ( Byron Kaye | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

SYDNEY, March 2 (Reuters) - Retail theft has hit record levels in Australia, government statistics show, putting pressure on grocery giants Woolworths Group Ltd (WOW.AX) and Coles Group Ltd (COL.AX) that are already struggling with soaring supply costs and freight blockages. Queensland, Australia's third-largest state, had the highest monthly rate of shop stealing on record this January, according to publicly available police data. Neither state's data specified which retailers reported theft. That may impact profit at Woolworths and Coles, which together ring up two-thirds of Australian grocery sales and noted rising store theft in trading updates last month. Supermarkets refer to goods lost to theft, expiry or payment error as stock losses.

☆ Мафиозный лидер из Молдовы, осужденный в Румынии, избежал тюрьмы

Гражданин Молдовы Ион Гушан - один из самых опасных преступников, действовавших в Румынии в последние десятилетия - был оправдан судьями Апелляционной палаты, выполнившими решение Конституционного суда, согласно которому записи, полученные спецслужбами, больше не могут быть доказательствами в суде. Судьи Апелляционной палаты пояснили, что они не могут осудить его без аудиозаписей разговоров. Оправдательное решение продемонстрировало, как преступные группы используют решения Конституционного суда, которые оставляют прокуроров без доказательств по делам об организованной преступности. Решение Конституционного судаНику Патрон использовал решение Конституционного суда от февраля 2020 года, которое большинством голосов (7 против 2) запретило прокурорам использовать в качестве доказательств в уголовном судопроизводстве записи, полученные SRI на основании ордера национальной безопасности (MSN) о сборе информации. По сути, Конституционный суд Румынии указывает, что порядок оспаривания законности этих доказательств, полученных и использованных прокуратурой в уголовных делах, не совсем ясен.
