Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey won reelection after running unopposed. Bailey refused to resign after five Rankin sheriff's deputies were convicted of torturing Black men. Those deputies called themselves the "Goon Squad" for their willingness to use excessive force. Rankin County, home to several Jackson suburbs, is the largest county in Mississippi, with a population of almost 160,000, according to the US Census. Five were deputies for the Rankin County Sheriff's Office, and one was an officer for the Richland Police Department.

☆ Trump Appointee Will Remain Judge in Documents Case, Clerk Says
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-10 | by ( Charlie Savage | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The criminal case against President Donald J. Trump over his hoarding of classified documents was randomly assigned to Judge Aileen M. Cannon, a court official for the Southern District of Florida said on Saturday. The chief clerk of the federal court system there, Angela E. Noble, also confirmed that Judge Cannon would continue to oversee the case unless she recused herself. The news of Judge Cannon’s assignment raised eyebrows because of her role in an earlier lawsuit filed by Mr. Trump challenging the F.B.I.’s search of his Florida club and estate, Mar-a-Lago. In issuing a series of rulings favorable to him, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, effectively disrupted the investigation until a conservative appeals court ruled she never had legitimate legal authority to intervene. That Judge Cannon is handling Mr. Trump’s criminal indictment elicited the question of how that had come to be.

Lenders wasted little time in charging more for loans when interest rates rapidly rose from an almost 15-year slumber around zero last year, but most have dragged their feet on boosting deposit rates paid to millions of their customers. Money market funds are proving popular among savers seeking bigger returns on their cash as high levels of inflation persist. Data from Refinitiv Lipper showed more than 34 billion euros ($37.6 billion) of net flows into European money market funds in March, the best-selling asset type that month. Fidelity International also reported an 8% year-on-year uplift in flows into money market funds on its investment platform between Jan. 1 and April 26. Some lawmakers have criticised banks for the mismatch between what they charge borrowers and the interest rates offered to savers.

FCA officials said the sector will begin adapting ahead of the rules, as it did with similar rules in the European Union. They rejected concern among lawmakers the new regime would create "bubbles" as money flocked to the fewer funds that qualify as sustainable. Lawmakers on the committee examining the FCA's proposals put Cummings on the defensive over his criticism that too many funds will be excluded. Kate Levick, associate director of sustainable finance at think tank E3G, told the hearing the FCA's plan "would remove the significant amount of greenwashing currently in the market".

☆ How small-business owners determine when it's time to hire, and the roles they need most to scale up
▼ + stars: | 2022-08-22 | by ( Alexandra York | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Two entrepreneurs share their advice on when to hire and who to bring on to grow your company. This article is part of Talent Insider, a series containing expert advice to help small business owners tackle a range of hiring challenges. "When you find yourself doing more managerial tasks rather than being a leader," it's time to hire, Kaur said in a follow-up email. Engel brought on a marketing associate last year and a senior marketing director this year once she had filled the other roles. "It's not a corporate job," she added, "so you have to have someone who can take initiative and be willing to pivot because that's the success of a small business."

☆ Twitter ia în calcul ca utilizatorii să plătească abonament
▼ + stars: | 2020-07-25 | by ( ) tvrmoldova.md time to read: +1 min

CEO-ul Twitter, Jack Dorsey, ia în calcul introducerea unui abonament pentru o variantă fără publicitate, după ce veniturile au scăzut cu 23% din cauza reducerii activităţii publicitarilor. Twitter are probleme, pe lângă recentul scandal de hacking în care 45 de conturi ale greilor lumii au fost sparte. Faţă de aceeaşi perioadă a anului trecut, veniturile Twitter au scăzut cu 23% pentru că mulţi advertiser fie şi-au redus activitatea, fie au renunţat de tot. „Este clar ceva similar cu ce fac şi cei de la YouTube, nici pe YouTube nu plătesc abonament, mă uit la videoclipuri aşa, cu reclame, prefer să dau skip de două ori, decât să plătesc acel abonament. L-aş plăti dacă aş face, într-adevăr, mulţi bani din Twitter şi atunci s-ar justifica şi pentru mine această investiţie”, spune ea.
