"The launch of LimeWire AI Music Studio represents a groundbreaking technological milestone, symbolizing not only a stride forward in our pursuit of innovation but a profound commitment to fostering creativity within the dynamic landscape of modern content creation," said Paul Zehetmayr, co-CEO of LimeWire.

This commitment aligns with LimeWire's overarching mission to provide users with best-in-class advanced AI tools, fostering a community of creators who can bring their artistic visions to life. Similar to LimeWire's acquisition of BlueWillow, which marked the convergence of shared vision and innovation, LimeWire’s AI Music Studio combines the strengths of its existing AI Studio interface with advanced generative AI technology. This synergy aims to redefine AI-driven content creation and creativity, placing LimeWire at the forefront of this rapidly evolving generative AI landscape. "Our platform is designed to break down barriers, allowing aspiring musicians and creators to unleash their potential with the power of AI. As we venture into the future of music, it is our firm belief that AI technology should be a catalyst for inclusivity, empowering aspiring musicians from all walks of life,” added co-CEO of LimeWire, Julian Zehetmayr. “By providing accessible AI tools, we aim to level the playing field, ensuring that traditional resource constraints no longer hinder the creative journey.” Looking ahead, LimeWire envisions a vibrant community around its AI Music Studio, where creators can not only share their work but also monetize it. LimeWire's commitment to democratizing the digital creative space extends to the AI-generated music realm, providing users with unprecedented opportunities to earn revenue from their creations.

"Midstream doing what it should" - VettaFi

HANetf Holdings Limited

VettaFi Head of Energy Research Stacey Morris speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive about the latest developments in the midstream sector of the energy industry. Morris explains that despite softening oil prices softening since late September, the midstream sector has been "doing what it should" and providing a robust defence for investors. She says that the index underlying the Alerian Midstream Energy Dividend UCITS ETF (MMLP) rose 7% in November despite a 6% fall in WTI prices over the same period. "What we like about the midstream space is that these companies can generate free cash flow whether oil is at $60, $80 or $100/bl. That's allowing to really execute on paying dividends and buying back their equity." When pressed on what's next for oil prices, Morris describes the outlook as "murky" and highlights what she considers a lack of upside drivers heading into 2023 and increasing supply from outside the OPEC+ group.

Greencoat UK Wind capacity passes 2GW but still "has to be patient"

Greencoat UK Wind PLC

Greencoat UK Wind PLC (LSE:UKW) Investment co-Manager Stephen Lilly speaks to Thomas Warner from Proactive after the company announced it has completed the acquisition of a 49.9% interest in Kype Muir Extension wind farm from Banks Renewables. Lilly provides more detail about this latest step in a long-term deal and says it has propelled Greencoat's capacity to over two gigawatts. Lilly also addresses Greencoat's cautious capital allocation strategy, acknowledging the challenges in raising equity and the importance of judicious investment decisions. Despite opportunities for expansion, current market conditions limit their ability to acquire new assets. The company has prioritised shareholder value through strategies like buybacks and dividend increases, with the recent dividend being raised to 10 pence. Furthermore, Lilly expresses frustration over the market's perceived undervaluation of Greencoat's return on investment. He stressed the significance of returns over yields, especially in a rising interest rate environment. Lilly believes the market has not fully appreciated the combined value of Greencoat's dividends and reinvestments but says Greencoat UK Wind is "well placed... so we're not unduly worried - we just have to be patient." The interview also touched on personnel changes within Greencoat, specifically the transition of Laurence Fumagalli, a long-time colleague of Lilly. Matt Ridley, a familiar face in the UK wind sector and current Head of Private Markets at Schroders Greencoat, is set to succeed Fumagalli, ensuring continuity in the company's leadership.

Detroit Employment Lawyer Sees Influx in Pregnancy Discrimination Cases Since Pregnant Workers Fairness Act Became Law

KISS PR Brand Story

Detroit, Michigan – After the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) was signed into law, Detroit-based law firm Sommers Schwartz, PC reports a surge in pregnancy discrimination cases, underscoring the importance of the newly implemented federal law in safeguarding the rights of pregnant workers. Pregnant women have often been the victims of discriminatory practices in workplaces. Arguments in favor of the law included multiple reports like one example where an employee, following her doctor’s advice not to lift heavy objects during her pregnancy, found herself on a 12-week leave without pay. The employer terminated her two months after childbirth, showing a clear disregard for her rights. In response to such practices, the PWFA was included in President Biden’s omnibus spending bill in December 2022 and came into force on June 27, 2023. The law stipulates that public and private sector employers with 15 or more employees are required to provide reasonable accommodations to pregnant employees, allowing them to fulfill their job responsibilities. Drawing parallels with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the PWFA prohibits employers from forcing a pregnant employee to accept an accommodation without mutual agreement, denying job opportunities based on the need for reasonable accommodation, and compelling a pregnant employee to take leave when alternative reasonable accommodations are available. The Act also protects employees from retaliation for reporting or participating in an investigation related to PWFA violations. Violation of the PWFA could result in employers being liable for damages under Title VII of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964. This includes job reinstatement, back pay, front pay, compensatory damages, punitive damages, and the right to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. However, the act’s jurisdiction extends only to job and workplace accommodations. Other federal and local laws, such as the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act and Michigan’s Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act, continue to protect employees from discrimination based on pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions. “Immediately after this law went into effect, we saw a considerable increase in new cases where women were subjected to the unfair discriminatory practices that the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act was put in place to prevent. My office has been able to obtain compensation for our clients who suffered pregnancy discrimination by their employers,” said attorney Tad T. Roumayah of Sommers Schwartz, PC. As champions of worker’s rights, Sommers Schwartz’s employee rights group has a long-standing record of successfully fighting for victims of discrimination, harassment, termination, and retaliation, including pregnant workers. Anyone who believes their rights were violated during their pregnancy, can contact Sommers Schwartz and receive a free, confidential, and empathetic consultation to review their rights. Sommers Schwartz is a powerhouse litigation firm made up of experienced personal injury lawyers, medical malpractice attorneys, commercial and business law attorneys, and employee rights lawyers fighting for unpaid wages and overtime. The law firm serves clients across the country from its offices in Michigan and California. Sommers Schwartz, P.C. 1 Towne Square #1700 Southfield, MI 48076 (248) 355-0300 https://www.sommerspc.com/ Press Contact: Media Contact Distributed by Law Firm Newswire Release ID: 837601
