Today's Story Line
Welcome to the Bill Clinton international roadshow. OK. Maybe that's too glib. But one might need an atlas to keep up.
In Tanzania on Monday (Aug. 28), his brief visit arguably helped Nelson Mandela to persuade some - not all - of Burundi's warring factions to sign a peace deal. Tuesday dawned with Mr. Clinton spending some quality time - about an hour and a half - in Cairo with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Arab support is likely to be crucial to an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, particularly on the question of Jerusalem.
Clinton's next diplomatic pit stop takes him to the seaside city of Cartagena, Colombia, on Wednesday. It's the first visit to Colombia in 11 years by an American president. Clinton's visit follows last month's approval by the US Congress to spend $1.3 billion on anti-narcotics aid. Most of it is going to the Colombian military. That's up from just $65 million four years ago.
Next week, the world will come to Clinton's door. The United Nations will host a Millennium Summit, the largest single gathering of heads of state in one place.

Mazara rested, ready to get back to work
Rangers outfielder faces third MLB season with renewed confidence
Anthony Andro
FORT WORTH, Texas -- It was an enjoyable offseason for Rangers outfielder Nomar Mazara -- at least for a little while.
Mazara went home to the Dominican Republic to rest up after his second Major League season. That meant no winter ball. The rest agreed with Mazara until it didn't.
"It's kind of good to go back home for like a month," said Mazara, who was at a Winter Caravan stop Sunday along with right-hander Austin Bibens-Dirkx. "But after that, you're laying your bed and thinking, 'Wow, I want to start playing again.' It's time to get going."
When Mazara and the Rangers get going, they won't be the favorites to win the American League West title. That honor will go to the reigning World Series-champion Astros. The Rangers also haven't made splashy deals this offseason like the Angels. Texas has focused on pitching, picking up starters Mike Minor, Matt Moore and Doug Fister.
Mazara likes what the club has done and the position it will be in this spring.
"No one is expecting much out of us," he said. "Just wait until they see us play. Everyone has a good team [in the AL West]. Everybody is hard to face. We've got one goal. We're going to go out there and give it what we got. The confidence we have is very [strong] right now."
One of the reasons the Rangers have confidence is because they have the 22-year-old Mazara in their lineup. He followed a solid rookie season in which he hit .266 with 20 home runs and 64 RBIs with a solid sophomore campaign. Although his batting average dipped to .253, he had another 20 homers and led the club with 101 RBIs, tied for ninth in the AL.
He is just the fifth Rangers player to reach the 100-RBI mark since 2007. He also became the third Texas player to have two 20-homer seasons by his age-22 season, joining Juan Gonzalez and Ruben Sierra.
Mazara is after more consistency in 2018. He batted just .228 against left-handers in 2017, and he batted .202 in June and .205 in July.
So it was overall a good season for Mazara, but not good enough for him.
"It was an OK season," he said. "There were a lot of ups and downs. At some points I was playing hurt, but I played through it. Hopefully this season I can stay healthy. It was a good season for a young guy like me, but from my side, I don't think it was that good. I could have done better. That's why I'm working so hard, because I know there's more that I can do."
So what has Mazara been working on?
"Everything," he said. "My plan is completely different. My mind is completely different. I know what I need to do now -- hitting, defense-wise, everything. This is going to be my third year in the big leagues. I know exactly what I need to work on now."


Commentary: Could North Korea's crypto-funded nuclear programme collapse now that FTX has?
Kim Jong Un's nuclear missile ambitions have been fuelled by state-backed hackers stealing cryptocurrency. The crash of FTX and crypto's value will have left a dent, says this lecturer.

02 Dec 2022 06:07AM (Updated: 02 Dec 2022 06:07AM)
JOONDALUP, Australia: Since the world's second-largest crypto exchange, FTX, declared bankruptcy in November, the flow-on effects have been felt far and wide.
For the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a country facing heavy sanctions, cryptocurrency theft has been a (relatively) simple way to fund the country's expanding nuclear arsenal.
It's well documented that Kim Jong Un's military operation hackers have been stealing cryptocurrency to support North Korea's nuclear and missile programme for several years.
But with the general downturn in the crypto market, coupled with the recent FTX collapse and myriad other pitfalls, analysts estimate North Korea has probably lost most of its crypto haul.
Can we expect its nuclear weapons development to come to a halt, or slow down? It seems unlikely.
NORTH KOREA'S HACKERS HAVE BEEN BUSY
North Korea sponsors several hacker groups, including Lazarus Group (also called Guardian of Peace and Whois Team) and Advanced Persistent Threat 38 (APT38).
While nobody knows exactly how many North Korea-backed hackers there are, experts have estimated Kim Jong Un has between 6,000 and 7,000 working both inside and outside the country.
North Korea has invested in its national cybercrime arsenal for about 15 years. It's almost impossible for an organisation to defend itself against an army of this size and calibre once it comes charging.

In 2016, Lazarus hackers came close to stealing US$1 billion from Bangladesh's national bank – but a typo in the computer code meant they only got away with US$81 million.
Since then, they've refined their methods. Lazarus has been accused of stealing US$571 million from cryptocurrency exchanges between January 2017 and September 2018, US$316 million from 2019 to November 2020, and US$840 million in the first five months of 2022.
According to Chainalysis, North Korean hackers have stolen an estimated total of about US$1 billion in cryptocurrency this year. A large chunk of this would have come from Lazarus' massively lucrative heist against NFT-based online game Axie Infinity. In April, US authorities held the group responsible for stealing US$620 million in cryptocurrency from the game.
For context, it's estimated North Korea only earned about US$142 million from trade exports in 2020.
CRYPTO LOSSES INTENSIFIED AFTER FTX COLLAPSE
It's difficult to say exactly how much cryptocurrency has been stolen (and used) by North Korean hackers – and therefore how much might remain.
In June, blockchain analyst and former FBI analyst Nick Carlsen told Reuters one of North Korea's crypto caches had lost 80 per cent to 85 per cent of its value in a number of weeks, falling to less than US$10 million.
Losses will have intensified following the FTX collapse. According to a Chainalysis report, in January North Korea held about US$170 million in stolen unlaundered cryptocurrency, taken from 49 hacks conducted from 2017 to 2021. It also claims Ether was the most common cryptocurrency stolen by North Korea in 2021, making up 58 per cent of the total theft.
Ether's value fell by more than 20 per cent following the FTX crash, and remains low. It's reasonable to expect North Korea will wait before cashing out. When it does, experts looking on will be in a better place to figure out how much it has.
Commentary: Talk of preemptive strikes in Korean Peninsula is disturbing
Commentary: South Korea is reconsidering nuclearisation in response to North Korea
WHY STEAL CRYPTO TO FUND NUCLEAR WEAPONS TESTS?
The United States, South Korea and Japan have been warning North Korea against conducting a seventh nuclear test. But Kim Jong Un doesn't seem to be letting up.
In November, at the launch of North Korea's largest ballistic missile yet, he told state media the "ultimate goal is to possess the world's most powerful strategic force, the absolute force unprecedented in the century".
International sanctions and border closures due to COVID-19 have made it difficult for North Korea to trade and generate funds through other means – which makes the cryptocurrency market an attractive target.
Cryptocurrency remains unregulated by most countries' governments. At the same time, transactions can be made quickly, and allow more anonymity than transactions made through traditional banking systems.
It's also easier to hack a cryptocurrency exchange than it is to hack a bank. The latter are almost always bolstered by advanced security barriers and sometimes require in-person appearances.
Commentary: Where is North Korea getting the resources to test missiles and buy arms?
Commentary: How magical thinking enabled the rise of FTX – and led to its fall
NO MORE MISSILE TESTS, FOR NOW?
The rapid drop in crypto's value, compounded by the FTX crash, will have certainly left a dent in North Korea's nuclear military expansion funds. Nonetheless, Kim Jong Un's cybercriminal army will likely find new sources of illicit income (and will probably keep stealing crypto too).
North Korea has also had financial support from supporters in South Korea who follow the Juche ideology – the same Marxist-Leninist-adjacent political philosophy imposed in North Korea.
And in April, American crypto expert Virgil Griffith pleaded guilty to helping North Korea evade US sanctions through using cryptocurrency.
Then there's China – a key player in deciding whether sanctions against North Korea will actually work. In May, China joined Russia in vetoing a draft proposal from the US to tighten sanctions against North Korea and continues to trade with it.
As long as North Korea can glean financial benefit from China, and other avenues as mentioned above, it's unlikely to stop its plans.

ACTU Issues Press Release Re: Illegal Asbestos Imports
Tougher policing of imports described as asbestos free is urgently needed by the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service.
As shown on last night's 730 Report, and the subject of Union concerns over a long period, the inadequacy of importation controls, especially those applying to China are allowing products such as locomotives and motor vehicles containing white asbestos to be imported into Australia.
"Asbestos causes cancer, it's that simple," ACTU Assistant Secretary Michael Borowick said.
"Australia has a decade old ban on the importation of asbestos to protect the community from its harmful effects that isn't being enforced.
"Importers have been duty bound since December 2003 to not import anything containing asbestos yet it is still happening and to make matters worse, the regulator isn't doing its job and enforcing the ban.
"It is well established that imports from China, particularly freight trains and motor vehicles contain asbestos components.
"Tragically, asbestos has been discovered only after workers had been exposed during an engine repair.
"Last year, despite around 25,000 motor vehicles found to contain asbestos being imported from China by Ateco no prosecution by the regulator took place.
"These are complete failures by the regulator who should have identified the asbestos before the vehicles and trains were allowed into Australia.
"There are a growing number of unacceptable breaches of the asbestos ban occurring under the watch of the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service, and something needs to be done.
"If nothing is done, more workers and members of the community will needlessly be put at risk.
"The Government must urgently provide greater resources to the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service to ensure they are equipped to enforce the ban.'

South Florida Man Sentenced to Lesser Charges on Appeal in First-Degree Murder Case
September 8, 2020 | Michael B. Cohen, P.A.
Larry Modena and William Dabbs were friends. Their lives intersected on many different levels. In addition to sharing their private lives they also worked together at Modena's contracting and construction company, Atlantic Coast Builders. Their relationship seemed nothing out of the ordinary until a fateful day in October 2011 in Boynton Beach when Dabbs shot his friend to his death as they argued in a Home Depot parking lot where both of their cars were parked side by side. Dabbs shot Modena five times before he fled the scene.
When police were dispatched to the location of the shooting, they pursued Dabbs who was operating his work van leading them on a high-speed chase that at one point had Dabbs turn and point his .38 caliber pistol at one of the officers. The officer returned fire, but neither were injured as Modena lay dying in his car.
After Dabbs was taken into custody without further incident he was ultimately charged with first-degree murder, fleeing and eluding law enforcement and armed aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer.
At trial, the prosecution told a tale of a perilous combination of drugs, fury, and resentment driving Dabbs to shoot Modena in what was implied to be a fit of rage.
Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorneys believed they had a strong case and told the jury that Dabbs was annoyed that Modena had helped his wife file a restraining order against him. They also pointed out that Modena appeared to be in the process of ending their business relationship which would have left Dabbs without a job. Several law enforcement officers also testified during the course of the trial.
The defense headed by two Assistant Public Defenders contended that Dabbs shot Modena after he pistol-whipped him as Modena was furious that their client refused to provide him with prescription pills to feed his Opiate habit. Dabbs later took the stand and testified that he shot Modena in self-defense.
The jury didn't come back by the end of the day with a verdict but on the second day and a total of eight hours of deliberation found Dabbs guilty as charged on all counts.
Dabbs was sentenced to life in prison along with the prosecution's recommendation to give Dabbs two additional, consecutive 15-year sentences for the fleeing and aggravated battery charges. The judge chose to also allow the sentences to run consecutively although she could have levied the sentence to run as concurrent.
However the story didn't end upon sentencing and Dabb's enacted imprisonment.
Two years into his prison sentence the 4th District Court of Appeal ruled in Dabb's favor and granted him a new trial based on problems relating to evidence.
In the second court case which took place in early February of this year it didn't appear any new evidence was provided by the prosecution or the defense but it should be noted the trial was officiated by a new judge and presented to a new jury.
The judge in the first case was presiding over her first murder trial as opposed to a more experienced judge overseeing the appeal.
And in this case the jury decided to return guilty verdicts as well, but on the lesser charges presented to them for the fatal shooting of Larry Modena.
Dabbs was convicted of manslaughter, fleeing and improper display of a firearm. Ten days after the trial concluded at his sentencing hearing the Circuit Judge in the case sentenced Dabbs to a total of thirty years in prison with credit for the more than eight years, he's spent in custody as he awaited the outcome of his case.
Dabbs is sixty-two years old and the difference in the penalty may give him the opportunity to see the light of day on the outside of a prison cell before his time expires in this lifetime.

Washington currently has 14 UDFAs and a pair of 7th round drafted rookies on the roster, but that list of players is subject to a lot of change. In previous years, we've put together profiles of players only to see them cut by the team a day before the profile was set to publish (or a day after it did publish). In fact, in just the 4 weeks or so that followed the 2022 draft, we saw a lot of churn in this part of the roster among both UDFAs and veteran free agents.
These articles about the bottom-of-the-roster players are not intended to suggest that any given player is bound for glory; rather, the articles are intended to celebrate the ongoing fight of each player to extend his NFL dream.
For those of you who appreciate the fight of the underdog, I hope you enjoy today's article and the others that will follow in this "2022 UDFA Spotlight" series.
DE Jacub Panasiuk, Michigan State
In what has become something of a theme, Jacub Panasiuk is yet another 5-season college player signed as an undrafted free agent by the Commanders this offseason.
The 23-year-old Panasiuk was on the football field for the Michigan State Spartans for 47 games from 2017-2021, amassing 143 tackles, with 29 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 2 fumble recoveries.
The Commanders website lists the rookie at 6'4", 255 pounds, which is pretty typical size for the DE unit he is a part of. If you don't include the somewhat undersized Shaka Toney, the rest of the team's defensive ends range between 6'3"-6'6", and 254-265 pounds (except for 273-pound Bunmi Rotimi).
Pre-draft profile
Typically UDFAs are either small school players who flashed on their teams, or they come from big-college programs but lack in some aspect like athleticism or decision-making.
Panasiuk was a Michigan State Spartan; coming from a top-tier college program, it is his athleticism that limits him, but, apparently, it is his heart and his willingness to 'leave it all on the field' that gives him a shot at an NFL career.
Look at this description of his strengths from Sports Illustrated:
Jacub Panasiuk is a high-energy player and leaves it all on the field. He has a tenacity that is overwhelming and can break down opposing offensive linemen. His motor is always burning red hot. He has aggressive hands at the point of attack, showing an ability to fight through blocks. This aids him in shifting opposing linemen to fill rushing gaps at the line of scrimmage. Panasiuk has a powerful upper body which he uses in his second and third pass-rush moves consistently to win with extra effort.

His weaknesses, as detailed in the same SI profile are significant as well:
What Panasiuk provides in effort, he lacks in athleticism. He will never win purely off of athletic traits which unfortunately caps his ceiling. His flexibility is incredibly limited and lacks any sufficient bend coming off the edge to get around offensive tackles into the backfield. He lacks good length to keep linemen off of his chest, and though he has solid functional strength to shed, he plays too upright. This negates any semblance of leverage and is easily moved off his spot.
That profile is also critical of Panasiuk's tackling, discussing poor lateral agility, hand placement and technique.
The bottom line from SI is, however, reasonably encouraging about his prospects of establishing himself in the NFL:
Panasiuk is a great guy to have on your team because you love his effort. He has a great opportunity to make a mark on special teams and has the chance to be a rotational player at best in the NFL. He has coachable traits, though unfortunately, his lack of athleticism caps any ceiling he possesses. Panasiuk's best-case scenario is to add mass to his frame and play interior as a three or five-technique. Either way, he is a part-time and special teams player at best at the next level.
Michigan State career
Panasiuk's older brother, Mike Panasiuk, was a three-year starter at defensive tackle for the Spartans and went undrafted in 2020 before spending time with the Raiders and Panthers, so Washington's new rookie should have a pretty good understanding of the life of a college undrafted free agent in the NFL. The sons of Polish immigrants, Jacub and Mike got to play alongside one another for 38 total games from 2017-19 .
Jacub Panasiuk worked his way into the starting lineup as a sophomore in 2018, playing in all 12 games and starting 11 of them for a Michigan State team that finished 7-6. It was in his junior season in 2019 that Panasiuk started to show flashes of becoming an elite edge rusher in the Big Ten.

Returning as a starter that year, Panasiuk posted 34 total tackles with 8.5 tackles for loss as well as 3.5 sacks. Playing a total of 565 snaps, Panasiuk was named MSU's Outstanding Underclass Lineman Award on defense for his efforts. In addition to his improved production, Panasiuk got to have a really cool moment with his brother in the New Era Pinstripe Bowl, as Jacub deflected a pass that Mike would intercept and take to the house against Wake Forest in the Spartans' 27-21 win in the brothers' final collegiate game together.
The 2020 season did not have much to offer for Panasiuk, as much of the Big Ten struggled through a weird pandemic season, and so the senior decided to return in 2021 with the free year of eligibility — a decision that appears to have been the correct one. He had his best-ever season, accounting for 37 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 3 passes defended, 2 fumble recoveries and a forced fumble.
In an interview with Draft Diamonds in March, Panasiuk talked a little bit about himself:
I fell in love with [football] when I was very young. My parents were not big on American football, being from Europe, and so I started in elementary school and every transition I made in the game I fell in love more.
[Going forward] I'm just looking forward to learning from new people and learning new techniques and transitioning from college to professional football.
Personally, I think I was one of the best pass rushers in college football this past season. I have a lot of tools in my pass rush bag. I feel like I set up defensive tackles to stunt very well and I have a high football IQ. I think I am a very big believer in energy and playing with emotion on the defensive line. I think having energy helps with overall getting the whole team going together.
Asked to identify 5 traits that would best define him, Panasiuk said that they are "emotion, energy, enthusiasm, passion and relentless", which seems consistent with the SI profile referenced above.
He added, "I'm just a big believer in being a player/coach and bringing energy every day in practice. And a firm believer in studying and watching film and using it on game days."
Current Commanders Depth Chart
How excited are you that Jacub Panasiuk was signed by the Commanders?
5 - Very excited!
4 - Looks good...for a UDFA
3 - I'm okay; let's wait and see
2 - I'm doubtful about this guy's prospects
1 - This guy doesn't belong in an NFL training camp


Alex Quinn on Racial Health Equity and COVID-19
by Victoria Jones
In this month's At the Helm, Victoria Jones spoke with Alex Quinn, CEO at Health Leads. Health Leads is a national organization and an innovation hub that seeks to unearth and address the deep societal roots of racial inequity that impact our health.
Alex shared her thoughts on being an impactful leader, embracing innovation, and her greatest concerns and hopes regarding the pandemic.
Victoria: You've held some very important leadership roles over the years, some at a very young age – at Health Leads now and at PeerForward (formerly College Summit), and the US Dept. of Justice before that. What is your great achievement as a leader?
Alex: I'm most proud of helping grow and empower other leaders over time. Early on in my career, I benefited from many impressive individuals who taught me how to double down as an emerging leader. In turn, I learned how to invest in the people around me – through coaching, managing and peer-to-peer support. Now, I get to see those I've invested in lead their own teams and organizations. It's extremely inspiring.
In these experiences, what did you learn that had the biggest impact on your own leadership?
Being taught how self-awareness is the difference maker. And you can't do it on your own. To be a good leader, you have to recognize your own strengths and shortcomings and gracefully ask for and accept feedback. I started managing people when I was 23, and by the time I was 27 I oversaw 8 teams as a Vice President of Programs at Peer Forward. While I had the intellectual ability to lead in that role, I really didn't yet have the years of experience that I needed. I turned to coaches and leaders I respected to help close that gap. So, I try to instill this in young leaders, too. Seeking feedback and responding to it is critically important.
Another important element is understanding the intersection of your passions and your skills. Earlier on in your career, you try out many different roles and responsibilities. Use that time to identify what truly excites you and where your natural talents lie. And for those necessary tasks that you're not good at, surround yourself with people who are!
Lastly, I think it's been important to just be present as much as I can. When my staff are having a hard time—our work is challenging on multiple levels—I want them to feel like they can come to me. I can listen, we can talk it out, and I can help them work through the issue (or help them figure out who can help them) or just listen – not as a therapist, but as a manager and colleague that cares.
I love what you just said about identifying where your passion and talents intersect. I'm curious – how were you able to do that yourself? You've had such an interesting set of career experiences and options.
I am, in my heart of hearts, just an off-track pre-med student! That was always the plan until I took a year off from school to do an internship at the White House. That's where I first realized that if I became a doctor, by the time I saw patients, they would have already experienced and been harmed by broken systems. My time at the White House and then at the Department of Justice instilled in me a desire to try to understand and support the policy, processes and people that could repair broken systems. And that desire has driven my career path. We have so many broken systems in the U.S.
Another driving factor has been my interest in racial equity. I still remember doing a 7th grade term paper on Langston Hughes, and how struck I was by the last sentence in his poem "I, Too": "They'll see how beautiful I am/ And be ashamed—/ I, too, am America." I remember finally getting my head around, with that sentence, my own white privilege in a way I hadn't grasped before. From that moment on, I wanted to better understand racial equity. As a white person you can try to understand racial equity through education and your friends, since you have the privilege not to experience constant racial inequities. It was my focus while in undergrad and for my master's, as well. And as I learned more about the power of systems (to both do harm and good), coupled with my time at the White House, I grew more interested in opportunities to 'get ahead' of equity issues, to change the underlying systems and behaviors that caused inequities. Self-awareness also plays a role here – I learned you have to vigilantly manage and recognize your own power, bias and racism that contribute to systemic inequities. Access to education is one equity lever and that led me to PeerForward. I was really energized by the opportunity to grow the organization, and we were at the intersection of creating systems change, and developing and investing in people, particularly young people. In a lot of ways, it was the right fit for me. But ultimately, I wanted to work in health. When I had the chance to join Health Leads, it felt like the perfect opportunity to pursue all of my passions and learn a lot too.
12 years later, what has kept you at Health Leads?
One of the things I've always loved about Health Leads is that we're an innovation hub. I've never been interested in things continuing to function as they currently are. Once systems and processes work well, then whoever is responsible for them can sustain them. I'm interested in improvement. And more importantly, I'm interested in building on and investing in the existing assets of a community to achieve that improvement. Throughout my career, I've seen that we too often look at communities through a deficit-based. I think a lot about how can we "cede" with a "c" and "seed" with an "s" power in people and communities, particularly BIPOC communities? Recognizing the assets within communities, and investing in and listening to them – to me, that's just the best job ever.
A good example of this is when I first took on the role of CEO, members of our senior leadership team and I conducted a series of interviews with patients, partners, and funders. We asked them, "If you could pull Health Leads up by the roots and replant us, what would you do?" At that point in time, we had already been very successful with partnering with healthcare organizations. If we really wanted health, well-being and dignity for every person in every community as our new vision reads, we needed to go beyond the healthcare system and understand how race and health are inextricably tied. We were truly trying to identify whether we should continue to exist as an organization in our current form, and if yes, what should come next. The answers we heard—by asking the individual and community partners themselves, not just healthcare leaders—gave us very clear direction. We needed to take our learning and understanding of healthcare and broaden who we partner with to better enable access to resources (such as food, housing, mental health services) across communities, not just at the point of care. We needed to help healthcare and community members share decisions, data and power to enable health equity.
So then we had a whole new challenge. What does successfully partnering with communities, healthcare and public health look like? What does power sharing between healthcare and communities look like? There are examples of this across the country but not nearly enough of them. What's the design, the workforce, the analytics, etc.? It felt like we had conquered one mountain by being part of the movement that enabled healthcare delivery systems to address social determinants of health. Now we were willingly at the base of an entirely new one – and it was and is exciting. It's this continual innovation with the end goal of community-driven systems change that keeps me engaged and motivated.
I'm going to shift gears a bit to discuss the moment we're in now. It's an understatement to say we're all feeling anxious these days. As a leader in the nonprofit space, what are your biggest worries?
Raising money always makes me anxious. When you're in this niche world of innovation, it takes much more time to get people to truly understand your vision and to want to commit support.
I'm also worried about the mental health of our team. This is a really hard moment we're living in, and our work has grown significantly since we work at the intersection of healthcare and community. Our staff have only ramped up their efforts as their lives have gotten more complicated. I worry about how we can sustain this pace and maintain good mental health, especially when we likely have at least another year of living with the pandemic. We're doing what we can to support our team by doing things like offering more time off and helping create comfortable home offices, but it's still hard.
And lastly, I'd say I'm always thinking about retention. We have amazing staff, and we want to keep them. So, we're reviewing our structures, promotion policies and professional development opportunities to try to do better. In some ways, retaining can be harder than recruiting with the kind of talent we have on our team.
I want to ask you one final question. When you think ahead to, say, a year past COVID, what do you hope Health Leads will have accomplished in that time?
The strangest thing about working in a health-focused space and living through COVID is that it's been a moment of real cognitive dissonance. It's a horrible health crisis we're facing and racial health inequities have been growing for decades, but at the same time it feels like a much broader audience understands the need for racial health equity in a way that we've been pushing at for years. It really feels like an opportunity to make deep, impactful change.
A year past COVID, I hope we can say we really capitalized on that deepened understanding and desire for change. I hope we're collaborating with communities in new ways, with an increasing number of people who have advanced their understanding of how racism is a public health crisis, and that it's leading to a different level of impact in improving health for individuals and communities. I hope we've expanded our partnerships and are seeing even greater support. Essentially, I hope we've seized this once in a lifetime moment to create lasting change.

Home Technology Carbyne raises $56M in funding to modernize emergency contact centers
Carbyne raises $56M in funding to modernize emergency contact centers
Comments Off on Carbyne raises $56M in funding to modernize emergency contact centers
Carbyne Ltd., a startup with a platform that enables emergency contact centers to operate more efficiently, has closed a $56 million funding round.
The Series C round, which Carbyne announced this morning, was jointly led by Cox Enterprises and Hanaco Growth. The New York-based startup says that the investment brings its total outside financing to $128 million.
Carbyne provides a cloud-based platform called APEX that emergency response organizations can use to manage their contact centers. APEX automatically routes each emergency call to the contact center representative best equipped to answer it. Dispatchers can access data from the site of an emergency including video, images and historical information about past events.
Carbyne offers APEX alongside several other software products likewise designed to make emergency contact center more efficient.
One product, Bridge Desk, tracks metrics such as contact center hold times and the number of emergencies reported in a given month. Contact center managers can use the data surfaced by Bridge Desk to find areas for improvement. Moreover, Carbyne says that the data generated by the platform helps with tasks such as identifying emergencies and creating training exercises for first responders.
Alongside Bridge Desk, Carbyne provides an application programming interface dubbed Smart API. Companies can use Smart API to equip their software with features that enable users to contact emergency services.
Carbyne runs its platform on multiple cloud data centers located in different regions. If one of the data centers experiences an outage, the platform can continue operating as usual. Carbyne says that a built-in load balancer can automatically reroute network traffic from a malfunctioning deployment of its platform to instances that are running reliably.
"We're doing to public safety what Amazon did to on-premise storage," said Carbyne co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Amir Elichai (pictured, center, with co-founders Yoni Yatsun and Alex Dizengof). "We are redefining how emergency contact centers and government service teams operate by moving everything to the cloud."
Carbyne says that its newly announced funding round follows a year in which its revenue quadrupled. According to the startup, its platform is used by emergency service organizations that cover more than 400 million people worldwide. Carbyne reportedly expects that number to increase to one billion people by 2024.
The startup will use the funding to expand adoption of its platform in the U.S. and grow its international presence. Additionally, the investment will enable Carbyne to accelerate product development initiatives.
"Emergency providers and local governments are using legacy systems to solve modern problems – a declining proposition," Elichai said. "They are increasingly recognizing the value that our cloud-based platforms provide to their communities. In addition to expanding our footprint in emergency services, we are also seeing new opportunities from businesses in adjacent industries."
