Soma Golden Behr, a longtime senior editor at The New York Times who was a centrifuge of story ideas — they flew out of her in all directions — and whose journalistic passions were poverty, race and class, which led to reporting that won Pulitzer Prizes, died on Sunday in Manhattan. She was 84. Her death, in the palliative care unit of Mount Sinai Hospital, came after breast cancer had spread to other organs, her husband, William A. Behr, said. Ms. Golden Behr, whose economics degree from Radcliffe led to a lifetime interest in issues around inequality, was instrumental in overseeing several major series for The Times that examined class and racial divides. Each enlisted squads of reporters and photographers for intensive, sometimes yearlong assignments.

Investing in women's empowerment and opportunities is something portfolio managers Julianne McHugh and Miki Behr have talked about doing for years. BNY Mellon Women's Opportunities ETF , the exchange-traded fund they manage, launched Wednesday, trading under the ticker BKWO. Investing for financial return while promoting gender diversity, known as gender lens or gender equity investing, isn't new. Assets in U.S. gender equity funds have doubled over the last three years, to $1.3 billion, as of the end of February, Morningstar found. Those funds represent less than 0.01% of total equity fund assets in the United States, according to the firm.

CNBC Daily Open brings investors up to speed on everything they need to know, no matter where they are. Hawkish sentiment from Federal Reserve officials weighed on stocks and buoyed Treasury yields, giving markets a disappointing start to March. Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari said Wednesday he's "open-minded" about raising interest rates by either 25 or 50 basis points. Kashkari, who is a voting member on the Federal Open Market Committee, added he might hike rates even further.

☆ The typical Home Depot customer is a 45-year-old white man with a college degree earning over $80,000

Half of US shoppers are Home Depot customers, and the store has similar customer loyalty as Costco. The store's average customer is a middle-aged white man with a college degree earning over $80,000 per year. Numerator found that Home Depot's typical shopper is a middle-aged white man, who is married without children at home. About 3.3% of the typical shopper's overall spending takes place at Home Depot — about a third of what they spend at Walmart, where they spend the most of their shopping dollars. Home Depot carries between 30,000 and 40,000 different products, but the typical customer's favorite products to buy are building supplies, fasteners, paint (from Behr), and lawn and garden supplies (from Scotts).

FRANKFURT, Nov 25 (Reuters) - Germany's Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) has a stark warning to European companies borrowing from U.S. lenders: They will drop you when times get tough. "There was evidence of non-German banks in this country taking lending off the table while German banks were going longer-credit during the pandemic, in 2020," he added, again without citing examples. Deutsche Bank has long highlighted a need for Europe to have strong banks to vie with U.S. and Chinese competitors, but the latest rhetoric signals a more aggressive tone. Campelli called for a "concerted approach" by politicians and regulators to support European banks. He said he wanted strong European banks in Germany and pushed back on being a mere U.S. bank.

☆ Când Isus nu e Hristos. Evanghelia după Liiceanu
▼ + stars: | 2020-05-26 | by ( Mihail Neamtu | ) adevarul.ro time to read: +9 min

De aici şi tristeţea noastră, ba chiar dezamăgirea şi gustul amar: deşi scrisă îngrijit, ultima carte a lui Gabriel Liiceanu e mai puţin o meditaţie despre Salvator Mundi, cât o răfuială cu scăderile, neputinţele sau erorile creştinismului instituţional. Nici la acest volum Gabriel Liiceanu nu simte nevoia să facă vreo referinţă. Dincolo însă de pedanteria obiecţiilor academice, îi reproşăm autorului altceva: faptul că n-a înţeles că, vrei, nu vrei, atunci când vorbeşti despre Iisus faci teologie. Gabriel Liiceanu accesează un Isus altfel — un personaj special, dezvăluit filozofului prin mecanisme hermeneutice străine „habotnicilor”, „pocăiţilor” sau „pupătorilor de moaşte” (cum e la modă să fie numiţi creştinii în lumea bună). De ce tocmai Iisus a afirmat: „Înainte de Avraam, «Eu sunt... »” – iată un enunţ de-o greutate ontologică lipsită de răspuns din partea filozofului.
