LITHIUM AUSTRALIA LIMITED

Lithium Australia Ltd (ASX:LIT) managing director Simon Linge discusses with Proactive’s Jonathan Jackson progress on its Mineral Resources Ltd partnership having embarked on a pilot program for LieNA® processing technology. Linge elaborates on the joint development agreement, underscoring the technology's ability to recover lithium from mining waste, potentially transforming waste management and lithium extraction in the mining industry. The pilot is being conducted in collaboration with the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), and aims to scale up the lab-tested LIT LieNA® technology, which has shown promising results in extracting high-quality lithium. This initiative is pivotal to refining the process and preparing for a larger-scale demonstration, with ANSTO providing crucial support in process development and research services. The outcomes of this pilot program will guide the engineering study for a demonstration plant, possibly leading to independent development and operation by MinRes. The collaboration is poised to commercialise LieNA® through a licensing model, aiming for a 50:50 joint venture that will manage the technology's global licensing, with a focus on greenfield and brownfield spodumene mines.

NMTC Coalition Applauds Tax Credit Permanence in FY2025 Budget Proposal

New Markets Tax Credit Coalition

On March 11, 2024, the Biden Administration released its FY2025 budget proposal. The budget includes a permanent extension of the New Markets Tax Credit at $5 billion a year in the annual allocation authority with an inflation adjustment in the out years. In 2019, Congress increased the annual allocation of NMTC credits to $5 billion, and in 2020, Congress enacted a five-year extension of the NMTC, the largest in the program’s history. The program, however, is set to expire in 2025 unless extended or made permanent. “The New Markets Tax Credit has been and remains absolutely vital for many of America’s urban neighborhoods and rural communities and provides billions of dollars for high-impact, community revitalization projects,” said Bob Rapoza, spokesperson for the NMTC Coalition. “Over the years, the credit has been instrumental in financing plant and equipment for small manufacturing businesses and patient, flexible capital to other small businesses, hospitals, healthcare centers, homeless shelters and other transformative projects that improve communities, and create jobs and economic opportunity. We applaud the President’s leadership and commitment to this important program, as well as the bipartisan support of leaders in both chambers.” All NMTC projects are in low-income communities, and the vast majority of NMTC investments are located in communities where the magnitude of economic distress far exceeds the statutory requirements for qualified investments. NMTC allocation applicants face stiff competition. In 2023, applicants requested more than $14 billion in awards, nearly three times the amount available. The application rewards community development entity applicants who propose investments in areas of severe distress. While all NMTC projects must be located in qualified low-income communities, and according to NMTC Coalition survey data and CDFI Fund transaction data, roughly 75 to 85 percent are located severely distressed census tracts with extremely high poverty and unemployment rates. During this Congress, both the Senate and House introduced bills (S. 234 and H.R. 2539) with bipartisan support to make the NMTC extension permanent. Throughout its 20-year history, the NMTC has delivered more than $125 billion to rural and urban communities outside the economic mainstream, which has led to financing to more than 8,000 businesses and projects and over one million jobs. “Establishing the NMTC as a permanent part of the tax code, as proposed by the President in his budget request, will provide certainty and further promote getting patient, flexible capital to low-income and marginalized communities, creating jobs, increasing economic opportunity, and improving lives at a time when the economic frailty of our underserved communities has never been more apparent,” said Rapoza. Established in 2000 in the Community Renewal Tax Relief Act (P.L.106-554), the New Markets Tax Credit is a bipartisan effort to stimulate investment and economic growth in low-income urban neighborhoods and rural communities. For examples of how the NMTC is making an impact in each state, see the NMTC Coalition’s website, where you can find more than 2,500 NMTC success stories organized by state and congressional district. About New Markets Tax Credit Program The New Markets Tax Credit (NMTC) was enacted in 2000 to stimulate private investment and economic growth in low-income urban neighborhoods and rural communities that lack access to the patient capital needed to support and grow businesses, create jobs, and sustain healthy local economies. Since its inception, the NMTC has generated more than one million jobs. Today, due to the NMTC, more than $125 billion is hard at work in underserved communities in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico.

Nursing in New Brunswick: Beal University’s Hybrid BScN Program Offers a Time-Smart Path to Nursing

Beal University

“I am not able to put my life on hold for four years,” said Caroline, who has a dream of becoming a nurse. “I want to pursue nursing, but getting a BScN degree has to be something that can fit in with my work and family responsibilities.” This is a common sentiment among people who want to become nurses. Whether they are changing careers or starting a new one, individuals need to understand the amount of time and financial resources required to achieve their goals. Time is money. The popular saying “time is money” is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin and is commonly used to encourage people to value their time and avoid wasting it, as wasted time equals wasted income opportunity. In nursing, every minute counts – the same holds true in choosing the right nursing classes, building your career, and pursuing your goals. Embarking on a nursing education journey is a significant investment of both time and money. For aspiring nurses who are considering their options, a simple cost analysis can provide clarity on the best choice of nursing classes for their needs. In this regard, let us compare the costs between two equally priced post-secondary university nursing programs that yield a similar end: a BScN that prepares a student to write the NCLEX RN exam to become a registered nurse. The first is a conventional 4-year program that requires full-time relocation to the campus, common among universities in Canada. The second is an accelerated, online, hybrid program, like the 30-month BScN nursing program offered by Beal University Canada. By examining factors such as tuition, living expenses, travel expenses, and opportunity costs, we can provide insights into which nursing classes might provide you with the best return on investment. The 30-month BScN Program at Beal University Canada (BUC) BUC’s Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Program is designed to provide students with a top-tier education that helps them transition from “learning” to “earning” quickly. It has received preliminary approval from the Nurses Association of New Brunswick (NANB). This BScN has a unique blend of online and on-campus learning that sets it apart. In the first 12 months, students attend virtual classes which are delivered entirely online. This approach fosters flexibility and enables students to adapt to the digital immersion of modern education. However, BUC also recognizes the immense value of hands-on experience. In the next 18 months (about 1 and a half years), the BScN program smoothly transitions to a combination of online and on-campus learning, with on-site labs, innovative simulation, and virtual reality experiences at BUC’s campus in Sackville, New Brunswick, and adds clinical placements at local medical hospitals and facilities. 4 Years vs. 30-months The length of the nursing programs, 4 years vs. 30 months (about 2 and a half years), indicates a disparity in expenses associated with housing, meals, and transportation. Completing the BScN program in a shorter duration enables students to enter the workforce earlier, begin earning a nursing salary sooner, and reduce overall costs. This early entry into the workforce provides graduates of the 30-month BScN program with the opportunity to recover their educational investment faster, potentially accumulate savings, or begin repaying student loans earlier than those completing the longer program. The Impact on One’s Ability to Maintain Income. When choosing a nursing program, it is important to consider the impact nursing classes will have on a student’s ability to maintain a job while studying. Students who are already employed usually must decide if they can keep working while pursuing their education. In a traditional 48-month program that requires full-time relocation to campus, it can be difficult for students to work full-time due to the demanding nature of the program. The need to attend nursing classes, labs, clinical rotations, and study on campus can limit employment opportunities outside of school. However, an accelerated, online, or hybrid BScN program offers more flexibility, especially during the first 12 months of study. With the ability to complete coursework from home on a flexible schedule, students may have more opportunities to work part-time or pursue other income-generating activities while completing their nursing classes. However, during the program’s latter 18 months (about 1 and a half years), when students must attend in-person nursing classes and regular clinical placements, they may have limited ability to work. A Smart Way to Supercharge Your Nursing Future If you are looking for a career that can have a significant impact on people’s lives, nursing is an excellent option. It provides job stability and a fulfilling future, with daily opportunities to make a direct and life-altering difference in people’s lives. Beal University Canada (BUC) is committed to nursing excellence and offers the relevant, up-to-date skills that employers are looking for in the nursing industry. They recognize the vital role nurses play in the healthcare system and actively support your growth and development. In considering your nursing education, it is essential to weigh the investment of time and money against potential returns. Comparing a traditional four-year program to an accelerated 30-month BScN program highlights the importance of efficiency and flexibility in achieving your educational and career goals. A shorter BScN program not only reduces expenses associated with housing and living but also allows for earlier entry into the workforce. This could lead to quicker returns on investment and enhance career opportunities. Additionally, the online components of the accelerated program are flexible and can better accommodate students’ existing work and family commitments, providing a more balanced approach to education and income generation.

Are You Trading Or Considering Trading Limited-Risk Contracts? Consider The New And Improved CME Event Contracts

EdgeClear

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Will the S&P 500 trade up or down today? What about the price of gold? Expect it to close higher by the end of the trading session, or think the Nasdaq will end the year lower than where it started? If you are considering trading limited-risk contracts, there’s a new way to do it thanks to the launch of the overhauled CME event contracts. Event contracts offered by CME Group, the Chicago company that operates financial derivatives exchanges including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange and the Commodity Exchange, provide investors with a straightforward way to invest in some of the leading futures markets around the world. Through these event contracts, investors can predict and trade on whether the price of futures markets will settle above or below a selected price. Not only do event contracts from CME give investors an easy way to play the futures markets, but they can be held for different periods and are easy to exit. Currently, events contracts have daily, quarterly and yearly expirations, depending on which product you are investing in. The contracts expire at the settlement time of each market, but investors can exit their positions at any time before the market closes. EdgeClear’s Edge Investors can choose CME event contracts for the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000, Dow Jones Industrial Average, WTI crude oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper and EUR/USD. These event contracts are only available through a select group of brokerages including EdgeClear, the trading firm that has made a name for itself thanks to its knowledgeable and highly motivated team that has years of technical and practical trading experience. With EdgeClear, the company says you get practical investing solutions that are not only innovative but cost-effective. Getting information and access to CME event contracts is made easy at EdgeClear. Clients can either get the details from their personal EdgeClear broker or fill out an information request form and a personal broker will be assigned to them. See how easy it is to trade CME event contracts with EdgeClear here. CME Overhauls Its Event Contracts In late January, CME launched event contracts with quarter and year-end expirations for E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures, expanding its offering, which EdgeClear is now giving its customers access to. “Event contracts on E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq-100 futures are among the most highly traded of our event product suite, representing 33% and 20% of the volume, respectively,” said Tim McCourt, Global Head of Financial and OTC Products at CME Group, when announcing the improved offering. “These new contracts featuring longer expiries at quarter- and year-end will give traders a way to express their views on market direction at key economic-cycle intervals—with the added benefit of more opportunities to trade in and out of a position leading up to expiry. We’re pleased that our expanded suite of event contracts will continue to provide innovative, lower-cost tools for participating in CME Group's futures markets.” With CME’s event contract overhaul the maximum payout for event contracts is $100. How Event Contracts Work Here’s a brief summary of how it works – investors choose an event contract in stock indexes, energy, metals or foreign currencies. Investors then select yes or no based on their view of whether the event will happen. The price you pay per contract is the most you can lose or earn per trade, excluding any fees and commissions. The potential profit of a trade ranges from $1 to $100. Let’s say you believe the price of gold will settle above $2,100 for the day. You select at that contract price, and based on the current market the trade costs you $51 plus fees. If gold ends up over $2,100, you receive $100, making a $49 profit on your trade less fees. CME event contracts give investors an easy way to test their views on the global market’s daily, quarterly and yearly settlements.

Report Reveals Alarming Number of Infants & Toddlers Experiencing Homelessness in the U.S.

SchoolHouse Connection

Washington, DC, March 20, 2024 | Today, national non-profit SchoolHouse Connection releases "Infant and Toddler Homelessness Across 50 States: 2021-2022," the most comprehensive analysis to date of homelessness among the nation's youngest children. This report offers the first-ever state-by-state collection of data on infant and toddler homelessness and provides detailed recommendations for policymakers and communities alike. “For the first time, we are able to shine a light on the extent of homelessness among infants and toddlers in all 50 states, as well as the gaps in their access to early childhood development programs," said Barbara Duffield, Executive Director of SchoolHouse Connection. "We urge practitioners and policymakers alike to dig into these data and take action, so that we can prevent long-term harm and interrupt cycles of homelessness that may start at the very beginning of life.” Drawing on an extensive analysis of federal and other available data, the report estimates that nearly 365,000 infants and toddlers experienced homelessness during the 2021-2022 program year across the United States. Alarmingly, the report found that only 11% of these children were enrolled in early childhood development programs, with enrollment rates varying significantly by state. "Early childhood development programs offer a wide range of support for infants, toddlers, and families who are homeless, from essential supplies like diapers and hygiene products, to services that counter the impact of homelessness on child development," said Erin Patterson, Director of Education Initiatives of SchoolHouse Connection. "These programs also facilitate vital connections to both short- and long-term housing solutions. We must redouble our efforts to ensure that every expectant parent, infant, and toddler experiencing homelessness receives access to these essential services." The report concludes with a call to action, offering targeted recommendations for state and federal policymakers to increase the identification of homeless families with infants and toddlers and to improve their access to critical early childhood development services and housing supports. The report also includes practical strategies for early childhood development programs that can be implemented immediately. A link to the report, including methodology, can be found here.
