▼ + stars: | 2024-06-18 | by ( Shriya Bhattacharya | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Read previewWhen Nikki Jenkins joined jewelry brand Pandora in the summer of 2021, she was bursting with new ideas on how the company could better partner with creators of color, who are often paid less than their white counterparts for brand deals. "The stories that they want to tell that year are based on the jewelry they're interested in, so we build custom contracts based on that person." For example, a few years ago, Jenkins reached out to Black talent agency Kensington Grey so that Pandora could collaborate with Black creators to promote its products and events. "A lot of Black creators understand how to show up in a way that really resonates with other Black people," she said. Based on the success of the campaign, Jenkins said the team decided to cement year-long contracts with many of Kensington Grey's creators.

"Influencer marketing is so personal, it's about the creator," Jenkins said. Several industry experts, including creators, have said this is because brands routinely pay creators of color less than their white counterparts on collaborations. AdvertisementSome companies like Pandora, however, have earned reputations among creators of color for fair compensation, prompting them to develop long-term partnerships spanning years. We also give the creator creative latitude whenever we can and let them co-create the concept based on what is authentic to their experience."

☆ The US and the West are facing the blowback of sanctions against Russia, economist says

Read previewThe US miscalculated when it imposed harsh sanctions on Russia, and not only has Vladimir Putin's economy weathered the impact, but the West is facing the negative effects of the economic restrictions it imposed. Food and energy prices have soared since the West imposed sanctions on Russia, he noted partly because Russia is one of the world's largest exporters of oil and grain. Even the US dollar may end up worse off due to sanctions, Rubin said. Russia's trade with China, for instance, has nearly completely phased out the dollar, Russian officials said last year. "Sanctioning the ruble and confiscating a third of the Russian central bank's foreign reserves was supposed to cripple the Russian economy.

European stocks opened mixed on Thursday as global markets react to the U.S. Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy decision and a slew of corporate earnings.

☆ FTC bans employers from using noncompete clauses
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-23 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

New York CNN —The Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday voted to ban for-profit US employers from making employees sign agreements with noncompete clauses. And – with one exception – it makes currently existing noncompete agreements unenforceable after the rule’s effective date, which is set at 120 days from the rule’s publication in the Federal Register. The rule, however, does allow currently existing noncompete agreements for senior executives to remain in force. The ban would apply nationwide, overriding state laws regarding noncompete agreements. In December of last year, New York State Governor Kathleen Hochul vetoed a bill passed by the state legislature to completely ban noncompete agreements in that state.

☆ Trump’s extreme rhetoric is a mainstay of his 2024 campaign. Much of it could become a reality if he wins another term

His pledge to direct Justice Department investigations is backed by allies who view his second term as driven by a maximalist theory of a president’s authority. But it also underscores why a second Trump term would be dramatically different. Some in Washington saw them as guardrails for a White House intent on fracturing not one, but all three branches of government. Yet Trump, should he secure a second term, would enter the White House with his most powerful Republican critics on Capitol Hill almost all gone. That would be a position that isn’t backed by his second term policy plans, or his private impulses during his first term in office – or, for that matter, in the decades prior.

CNN —The largest apex predator in the tropical seas, tiger sharks are notoriously fierce. But in The Bahamas, tiger sharks have taken on a rather less ferocious role, as assistants to marine scientists. The data they collected revealed what is the world’s largest known seagrass ecosystem, an area of up to 92,000 square kilometers (35,000 square miles) in the Bahamas. Tiger sharks with cameras helped scientists to map the world's largest known seagrass ecosystem. It would never be possible as humans, or as tiger sharks, to do the entire exclusive economic zone of The Bahamas.

Here are some of the ideas that have been suggested:CONFISCATIONSome international policymakers and lawyers say the immobilised Russian reserves can simply be confiscated under a doctrine of international law known as "countermeasures". Some in the bloc are still wary, though, and the European Central Bank has warned that claiming the trapped Russian assets should only be done in tandem with G7 powers. The bondholders would not have a contractual claim on the Kremlin’s frozen reserves. Ukraine would have a plausible way to collect on any damages awarded up to the value of the reserves. If Moscow refused to pay the damages, the allies could then use Russia’s frozen assets to pay off the loan.
