NonprofitNewsFeed.com Lithium Reserves Pit Climate Resilience Against Indigenous Calls To Protect Land Lithium reserves discovered in 2020 have recently renewed excitement over the United States’ ability to be self-sufficient when it comes to mining lithium, according to reporting from Insider and others. Newly-released findings suggest that the volume of lithium is among the most concentrated of known deposits, and could make the site a strategic goldmine for the United States from an environmental, economic, and national security standpoint. However, indigenous groups counter that the deposits are on land vital to indigenous use. “There's burial sites there. There's medicines and roots there, there's ecosystems – there is still life back there," Gary McKinney of the Shoshone-Paiute tribe told Al Jazeera. Construction has already started at the site to prepare it for mining — with federal courts dismissing activists and conversationists legal challenges to cease the project. ——- Listen to our podcast: Wholewhale.com/Podcast On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WholeWhale Tweet us: @WholeWhale Our website: WholeWhale.com/

Biden to sign bipartisan law reforming organ transplant system [Video]

President Joe Biden is set to sign into law a new bill that the White House says will save lives for Americans in need of an organ transplant.Biden on Friday will sign a bipartisan piece of legislation that will reform the organ transplant system, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, and waiting process as more than 100,000 people await a transplant. The bill passed the House and Senate on a bipartisan basis in July.”Everybody knows the system has been broken for years with heartbreaking consequences. Now with the president’s signature, we are taking significant steps to improve it,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Friday. The law, Jean-Pierre said, “will break up the current monopoly system harnessing competition to allow HHS (the Department of Health and Human Services) to contract with the best entities to provide a more efficient system for the people it serves.”It also eliminates the funding cap “to allow additional resources to modernize the system,” she said.The bill, she added, is expected to boost transparency and accountability for those in need of an organ transplant.The system has only ever been managed by the nonprofit United Network for Organ Sharing, which has drawn criticism for its handling of organs, long waitlists for transplants and the number of deaths among people waiting: about 6,000 per year. More than 100,000 people in the United States are now waiting for an organ transplant.A report released last year by the Senate Finance Committee found 70 deaths from 2010 to 2020 due to system failures within OPTN, as well as significant opportunities for improvement in how the nation manages organ transplants. “From the top down, the U.S. transplant network is not working, putting Americans’ lives at risk,” the report said.Part of Biden’s 2024 budget proposal sought increased funding for organ procurement and transplantation a total of $67 million and requests that Congress update decades-old rules around appropriations and contracts for organ transplants in order to increase competition.

Andi highlights the advantages of remote accounting, such as reduced physical vulnerabilities and secure digital tools like bill.com. The conversation moves on to innovations in accounting, with Andi dispelling the notion that accounting hasn’t evolved. She emphasizes the role of technology in enhancing transactional work and providing transformational insights, and how nonprofits are increasingly embracing technology to improve their financial processes and data visualization, making information more accessible and user-friendly. Next, they explore the costs associated with remote accounting and discuss different models, from fully remote to hybrid approaches.
