The Inca Arrives to USA, a Strong Outlook for Peru Tourism Recovery

 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Inca emperor walks the streets of New York City while his retinue dances tirelessly along the way, garnering the attention of the passers-by who stopped to stare and take video of the captivating scene.

This performance was displayed by 30 actors from Cusco, Peru, as a promotional strategy to get Peru back in the news and in front of potential visitors in a positive way.

The upcoming Inti Raymi (Festival of the Sun), a thousand-year-old ritual worshiping the Sun God and asking him to make the days longer, was promoted in the Big Apple in order to put the most notable celebration of Cusco’s calendar in the international spotlight.

Inti Raymi honors the Sun each June 24th and celebrates the winter solstice of the Southern Hemisphere. Throughout June, Inca rituals are performed to honor the earth, the sun, and the region’s glacier-capped mountains.

Though recognizing Christ, the Virgin Mary, and numerous saints, many Peruvians also commemorate local and natural deities. These include the Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (Mountain Spirits), which include sacred glacier capped-peaks that protect villages in the region. Andean celebrations like the Qoyllur Rit’i festival and the Catholic Corpus Christi lead up to the most important ceremony, the Inti Raymi.

This open invitation for international travelers to experience the Festival of the Sun 2023 is also a reminder of what is unique and special about Peru.

PROMPERÚ, local governments and the private sector have worked intensively to promote events and destinations in the short and medium term, aiming at the development and prosperity of the tourism industry.

Transformers in Cusco

Bucket-list experience Machupicchu and other key sites of Peru will be featured in the next iteration of the Transformers franchise.

With Peru boasting 76 Natural Protected Areas, 21 Regional Conservation Areas and 134 Private Conservation Areas, it offers a host of destinations, communities and adventures to explore with the confidence of an ethical and environmental footprint.

From the Andes to the Amazon, there are sustainable tourism attractions and experiences throughout the country, with many globally accredited and recognised with green certification awards by internationally recognised green organizations and bodies.

William O'Neil + Company Announces the Passing of William J. O'Neil

 LOS ANGELES - Tuesday, 30. May 2023 AETOSWire  

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- William J. O'Neil, "Bill," a highly accomplished figure in the world of stock speculation, entrepreneurship, authorship, and philanthropy has passed away at the age of 90.

Bill exemplified the American spirit and firmly believed that through hard work, anyone could attain prosperity. His approach to success was characterized by his willingness to challenge conventional wisdom, carefully analyze the data, and follow it wherever it led him, on his own terms. With humble beginnings, he became the youngest person to purchase a seat on the New York Stock Exchange at 30 years old. He wrote several best-selling books sharing the investment methodologies he built his businesses upon and devoted much of his life to extending a path toward financial freedom for all. He was a vocal proponent of a free enterprise system and its contributions to his own achievement of the American Dream. He was a trailblazer in many rights and his legacy continues onward today through his companies and nonprofit efforts.

Mr. O'Neil was raised in a multi-family home in Muskogee, Oklahoma and attended grade school on a Native American reservation during the Great Depression. From the age of 6 he worked odd jobs to contribute to his family’s income and developed a work ethic that became a foundational value throughout his life. When he was 14, he and his mother moved to Dallas, Texas, where he later earned a degree in Business from Southern Methodist University. Upon completing his service in the U.S. Air Force, Mr. O'Neil embarked on his career in 1958 as a stockbroker at Hayden Stone & Company in Los Angeles. He rapidly advanced in his profession and became increasingly fascinated with analyzing stock market data for stock picking.

An early investment in Syntex Corp, developer of the birth control pill, turned an initial capital investment of $5,000 into over $200,000 in just one year. And in 1963, he founded his first company, William O'Neil + Company. Today the investment adviser and broker/dealer, William O’Neil Securities, continue to provide invaluable buy and sell recommendations, as well as research tailored to the needs of over 400 institutional clients worldwide. At 32, he launched a mutual fund which achieved a 115% return in 1967.

In the 1970’s, he invested an unprecedented $2 million in R&D to better model investor behavior. This led to the creation of a database detailing stock movements dating back to the 1880s, which is still maintained today. His ability to apply research to analyze markets made his insights highly valuable to leading portfolio managers in the early years of his career.

He released an empirical study on the greatest stock market winners in history, which became the basis for his O’Neil Methodology. This approach, also known as CAN SLIM™, is an investment discipline that incorporates historical precedent, fundamental analysis, and technical stock analysis. Today, his methodology is continually optimized with modern-day factor research and data science. Following this success, Mr. O'Neil founded Daily Graphs, Inc., which provided a weekly book of stock charts that blended fundamental and technical analysis. This comprehensive book evolved into the online research platform MarketSmith.

In 1973, Mr. O'Neil founded O'Neil Data Systems, Inc. with the goal of delivering time-sensitive data ahead of the competition. The company later renamed O'Neil Digital Solutions, operated a high-speed printing facility that leveraged innovative technology to pioneer the field of automated composition and database publishing. Today, ODS is an international showcase for HP inkjet presses and has become a world class Customer Experience Management company providing omni-channel communications to the Healthcare and Financial Industries.

In 1984, Mr. O'Neil launched Investor's Business Daily. This national newspaper represented the first successful competition to The Wall Street Journal. Leveraging his years of experience in economic and business research, along with his expansive historical database, Mr. O'Neil filled a daily information gap that existed for individual investors. After its evolution to digital media, News Corp acquired IBD in 2021.

In 2013 he launched William O’Neil India as a data collection, information technology, and research center. O’Neil Capital Management India was established as a Registered Investment Advisor, along with MarketSmith India.

This global expansion continued with William O’Neil China established as an R&D center with focus on the Chinese Equity Markets and William O’Neil Investment Management Shanghai registered as a Private Fund Manager.

His vision for an advisory firm manifested in O’Neil Global Advisors, launched in 2019. As an SEC Registered Investment Advisor, the firm leverages a team of portfolio managers, data scientists, and factor research professionals to support the development, management, and monitoring of various fundamental and algorithmic strategies. It’s Portfolio Managers rely on the O’Neil Methodology to guide them in managing their discretionary accounts.

Mr. O'Neil also authored several best-selling books on investing in the stock market. One of his most notable works, "How To Make Money In Stocks: A Winning System In Good Times Or Bad," has sold over 4 million copies worldwide.

In retirement, Mr. O’Neil focused on philanthropic efforts aimed at empowering individuals to achieve fulfillment in life and removing barriers that stood in their way. He lived a simple life from the beginning to his end, finding peace in a neighborhood walk and comfort in a bowl of chicken noodle soup. The executive team he mentored over many decades continues to successfully pursue his vision across the globe.

Mr. O'Neil improved the lives of countless families, helping them prosper and achieve the American dream, something he will continue to do in perpetuity. His methodology and ingenuity allowed institutional investors to thrive in an often-volatile market climate. He taught people how to create and maintain profitable portfolios so they too could succeed. In short, his legacy is one of an innovator, educator, and entrepreneur—a proud citizen seizing the reins of opportunity in a country committed to the free market and sharing his success with others.

The family will hold a private memorial service with immediate family only.

In lieu of flowers, Mr. O’Neil has requested donations go to Rising Tide Capital, a non-profit organization whose mission is to transform lives and communities through entrepreneurship.

Sims Limited Achieves Climate Leaders Asia-Pacific 2023 Recognition

 SYDNEY - Saturday, 27. May 2023 AETOSWire

– Identified by Financial Times and Statista for second consecutive year as setting the pace in the fight against climate change –

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Sims Limited (ASX: SGM), a global leader in sustainability and an enabler of the circular economy, has been named to the Financial Times 2023 Asia-Pacific Climate Leaders list for the second time. Sims Limited was one of 275 companies on the prestigious list, which highlights companies that have made genuine greenhouse gas emissions reductions relative to their revenues over a five-year period.

For the second consecutive year, Financial Times and Statista examined publicly available disclosures of more than 2,000 companies in the Asia-Pacific region to compile the Climate Leaders Asia-Pacific list. The list is comprised of companies that achieved the greatest reduction in their core emissions intensity between 2016 and 2021 – that is, their Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions in relation to revenue – and made further climate-related commitments (such as CDP disclosure scores and transparency on Scope 3 emissions).

“As a company whose purpose is to create a world without waste to preserve our planet, it is humbling to be recognised for our climate achievements and efforts to reduce emissions within our operations,” said Alistair Field, chief executive officer and managing director at Sims Limited. “We truly believe that strong climate action is essential to creating the world we all want to live in and leave for future generations, so we take our role in this process very seriously.”

Moving toward renewable electricity is a critical component of Sims Limited’s decarbonisation plans, and this past year, the company accelerated its carbon neutrality target by 12 years, demonstrating their commitment to decarbonising their own operations. In 2023, Sims Limited’s North America businesses joined their businesses in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, India, and Europe in supporting 100 percent renewable electricity.

The company, which is a signatory of the Global Agreement on Climate Policy Engagement, also ranked 14th on the 2023 Corporate Knights Global 100 List of the World’s Most Sustainable Companies and placed in the top 100 of the As You Sow 2023 Carbon Clean200 list.

Sims Limited’s Sustainability Report contains more information on the company’s decarbonisation efforts and achievements and the social, environmental, and economic value it creates.
