will unlock a potential insurance coverage of 127 million U.S dollars for 10 million smallholder farmers  2025 – Bayer Foundation and the Pula Foundation today announced at World Economic Forum that they are planning to provide insurance coverage for 10 million smallholder farmers by 2030 The collaboration aims to enhance climate resilience among smallholder farmers protecting them against the growing impacts of droughts and floods It will help build private-public collaborations and shape the insurance market for agriculture in Africa and Asia The Pula Foundation has developed scalable and data-driven agricultural insurance solutions designed to safeguard smallholder farmers' investments in their farms By mitigating risks associated with extreme weather events such as droughts and floods the Pula Foundation ensures that farmers receive financial compensation for yield losses and build long-term resilience in the face of climate uncertainty Bayer Foundation’s grant for insurance premium support in the amount of 10 million euros – supported by a donation from Bayer’s Crop Science Division – will unlock a potential insurance coverage of 127 million U.S dollars for 10 million farmers working with national governments in Bangladesh The grant originates from Bayer Foundation’s Social Innovation Ecosystem Fund which targets mature and high-impact solutions for underserved communities “Smallholder farmers are already affected heavily by the impacts of climate change It is crucial that we enable them to feed their communities and contribute to global food security,” said Matthias Berninger Sustainability and Safety at Bayer and Member of the Board of Trustees at Bayer Foundation “Our Crop Science division is committed to deliver innovative farmer-focused solutions that drive sustainable growth and regenerative agriculture By unlocking climate finance and collaborating with partners like the Pula Foundation we aim to deliver ecosystem-based approaches that empower smallholder farmers and their communities to overcome challenges and thrive,” added Rodrigo Santos President of Bayer’s Crop Science Division Member of the Board of Management of Bayer AG and Executive Director Bayer Foundation Pula Foundation and Bayer Foundation already demonstrated in 2021 that building such public-private partnerships to offer insurance protection at scale works: Together with the Zimbabwean Government and as part of the Zimbabwean Conservation Agriculture Program they developed an insurance solution that protects the input investments farmers made With the catalytic support of Bayer Foundation for this pilot 31,000 farmers were insured against climate risks such as droughts in the first year which the public-private partnership network of Pula Foundation scaled to more than 1 million farmers after three years “Climate resilience is not just about recovery but also about dignity and empowerment We believe that insurance enables smallholder farmers to prepare themselves for an increasingly volatile climate We have witnessed firsthand how farmers bounce back stronger after climate shocks when they have the right tools and support,” said Rose Goslinga “This partnership with Bayer Foundation will enable us to expand our reach and ensure that millions more farmers can secure their livelihoods and build resilience against climate risks.” around 2.33 billion people globally faced moderate or severe food insecurity Smallholder farmers make a significant contribution to food security and supply in their countries: more than half of the food consumed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is produced by smallholders they face heavy challenges that pose severe constraints to their ability to serve their communities Examples are lack of climate change adaptation tools lack of access to agricultural inputs and inadequate credit and insurance services generates impact by supporting breakthroughs in science and social innovations that advance societal progress worldwide The Foundation’s vision is to catalyze advances in Science and Social Innovation for a world with Health for all Bayer Foundation supports aspiring scientists social entrepreneurs and impact organizations who work towards breakthrough innovations at the intersection of health For more information about Bayer Foundation please see Bayer

Twin brothers and UCLA commits Jaron Pula and Kennan Pula have transferred to Highland (Utah) Lone Peak for their senior seasons: https://t.co/4PE2xusmKB pic.twitter.com/klwoBR0gVg The Pula brothers were key pieces at Timpview leading the Thunderbirds with a combined 2,509 yards and 22 touchdowns in their careers They'll now take their talents to Highland Lone Peak high school who were the runner up in 2024 for the Class 6-A state championship The Bruins recruited the talented twins hard, and were eventually able to earn a commitment from the package-deal brothers. It was a monumental win for head coach DeShaun Foster and his coaching staff Both of the Pula brothers have a chance to be absolute game-breakers at the next level While there has been some speculation that this move could have an impact or be a sign of a possible flip Their relationship with the staff and the program as a whole seems about as strong as it could be Being a package deal is something the brothers had discussed for quite some time just as they've done throughout their childhood Getting to do that at UCLA will be the cherry on top UCLA fans should feel great about the kinds of players they are getting with Jaron and Kennan Pula They are extremely explosive and are intentional with their routes and doing their job They have the instincts that are hard to just teach a receiver-you've either got it or you don't The Bruins continue to stockpile weapons in this 2026 class. Of the four commitments UCLA currently has The Bruins are building a ton of depth at the receiver position and are poising themselves to have an embarrassment of riches out wide It will be interesting to see how many more weapons they take in this class as they continue to build it out and how they fill in other positions of need Ensure you follow on X (Twitter) @UCLAInsideronSI and @tcav30 and never miss another breaking news story again Please let us know your thoughts when you like our Facebook page WHEN YOU CLICK RIGHT HERE The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Sports Illustrated or its affiliates All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER The Bayer and Pula foundations have announced a commitment to provide insurance coverage for 10 million smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and south Asia by 2030 The Pula Foundation has developed scalable and data-driven agricultural insurance solutions designed to safeguard smallholder farmers’ investments in their farms rather than waiting for handouts,” said Pula Foundation director Rose Goslinga “This partnership with Bayer Foundation will enable us to expand our reach and ensure that millions more farmers can secure their livelihoods.” While benefits of volunteering have been well documented, less than 1 percent of total giving went directly to volunteer engagement between 2016 and 2025, a report from Points of Light finds Where should nonprofits focus resources dedicated to volunteers select any of the newsletters listed below Please report it so we can improve the news we bring you and more delivered to your inbox with Philanthropy News Digest newsletters Candid gets you the information you need to do good SANFORD It’s a known fact that if you don’t use it older men typically experience a natural decline in muscle mass with a projected loss of about 30% of muscle mass over a typical lifespan and can lead to reduced strength and mobility The 76-year-old took on a serious workout at Planet Fitness’ Sanford location “The inspiration came from an article I read back in 2017 in the Wall Street Journal that said ‘Lift 100 tons’ “I liked the concept so I did it that year at the Daytona Beach gym that was kind of neat that I accomplished another heavy season goal’ And then I did it again four years ago at the Planet Fitness in Lake Mary you just do it and a few friends and family tell everyone I trained up to it and I can knock it out.” Interviewed before he started the monster workout Pula laid out what it would look like.  so you multiply the weight on the machines by the number of reps and I’ll be doing 35 different machines and 40 reps on each machine for two sets I’ll work my way through the gym and hopefully be done in about two hours,” said Pula The plan included full-body exercises done in three segments He totaled about 1,400 reps with anywhere from 50 to 400 lbs. I think it’s about 437 pounds for two sets of 40,” said Pula Over his career, Pula served at Winter Park “I was a parks and recreation director most of my career so I was in the office dealing with politicians but I took lunch breaks every day to work out in the police department’s gym and then eat my lunch at my desk,” said Pula. “I really got into working out regularly when I was 43 years old I love the people here and I love the surroundings I feel good after I work out even though I may have a few aches and pains but it’s great to come back and work out again.” Pula said not only does he train for workouts like this but if you’re not catching him at Planet Fitness you can also catch him on the court—he’s a local ref for youth basketball games “I’m a high school basketball referee for the Central Florida Officials Association I develop my slow-twitch muscle fibers so I have a lot of endurance to be able to take the game,” said Pula When asked if Pula thinks staying active is helping him do more in his senior years he said people who are even older than him in the gym are his heroes He said he hopes everyone finds inspiration to work out “He loves to find unique things that he wants to dedicate some time to and their children all came to cheer him on “I hope it inspires my kids to take on things they can take on whatever they put their mind to,” said Michael Pula said he hopes to meet more great people in the gym and hopes everyone finds a way to stay active in their 60s or even younger and I love talking to everyone in the gym and maybe people don’t do it because they don’t like working out but I always say find something you like and do that my neighbor likes to walk and does five miles in the morning and five miles in the evening just do something on a regular basis to keep your body going I want to be as healthy as I can in my senior years.” but I feel great,” said Pula.“Being overweight is hard on your body and being weak and frail is hard on your body Working out is going to be hard on your body Copyright 2025 by WKMG ClickOrlando - All rights reserved TV Listings Email Newsletters RSS Feeds Contests and Rules Contact Us / Follow on

products Rose Goslinga didn’t start out thinking she would run a business — but today she is the co-founder and president of Pula an agricultural insurance and technology company that designs and delivers insurance and digital products to help smallholder farmers in Africa and other emerging markets to manage risks and boost their income IFC-investee Pula has partnered with over 70 insurance companies and 100 distribution partners across the globe to reach more than 15 million farmers Agriculture insurance provides farmers with financial protection against production losses caused by natural events Goslinga discusses the seed that led her to launch her business and increasing startup funding for women founders Question: How did you start your entrepreneurial journey Rose: I come from a family of missionaries and doctors I remember when I told my father I wanted to study economics his response was: “You want to make money?” But I’ve always been interested in finance and in my first job as an economics fellow in Rwanda’s Ministry of Agriculture all my pet projects were about how to get banks to lend to agriculture it’s great to do finance but we can never really do agriculture finance without insurance.” That planted a seed for me Question: What inspired you to become an entrepreneur Rose: I started the first agriculture insurance pilot in Rwanda I started the insurance program for the foundation of the Swiss agribusiness Syngenta growing their project from 185 to 185,000 farmers Working on these projects made me realize that I was passionate about this and wanted to reach even more farmers my co-founder and I didn’t have money and we didn’t raise any money for the first three years We were really focused on what the business model would be and how the business would make money long-term but last year Pula insured six million farmers in 2023 alone bringing our number to 15 million farmers since we started Question: What has Pula achieved that you are most proud of Agriculture insurance in developing markets has struggled we develop insurance for smallholder farmers We develop comprehensive crop insurance against all risks All these things were unheard of or were considered impossible and governments to sign up the farmers they work with My team members take flights in the middle of the night to sit across from ministers of agriculture in the afternoon Our actuaries work around the clock to ensure insurers are comfortable with our risks allow them to thrive and achieve the impossible and reward them well Question: Pula received funding from TLCom Capital’s fund TIDE which has a goal of increasing financing for women entrepreneurs Rose: I deeply believe in diversity of minds and perspectives to build solutions Diversity comes from people with different backgrounds Having different perspectives around the table when you must solve difficult problems is very valuable because you’re more likely to find the solution having women and our perspective around the table is just naturally valuable when we’re solving hard problems A Pula agent speaks with a farmer in Kenya Rose: I’ve always felt I needed to be double sure that what I was doing would make sense and make money We tend to be more careful but that also makes us less visible and less ‘daring’ as compared to our male counterparts But I’ve always felt that you have to use your weaknesses to your advantage Being conservative and careful can also be seen as being robust and trusted my suggestion is that investors make the effort to get to know founders It may take more time to find female founders but I believe that it will be certainly worth the effort Question: What is your message to other women entrepreneurs Rose: I never think that because I'm a woman I can’t do something and job prepared and I find that as long as I'm prepared I can overcome anything that the world throws at me IFC has invested in Pula through its investment in venture capital fund TLCom Capital's TIDE Africa fund with support from the We-Fi blended finance facility and with a direct investment together with the GAFSP Private Sector Window announced in March 2024 in Pula’s

candidacies incumbent Amata Coleman Radewagen (R) got the support of 64% of respondents In second place was Luisa Kuaea (D) with 16% followed by 12% of respondents who said they are undecided Meleagi Suitonu-Chapman (D) and Fuala’au Tago Lancaster (I) trail behind with 4% each approval voting would not alter the outcome but would give candidates on the lower end in support a boost While the sample

Associate Professor in the Department of Political Science at Virginia Tech has said that the new tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump on imports from the US are a serious blow to transatlantic relations.  if these tariffs are maintained at these levels they will severely affect relations in terms of politics and security.  "This is another serious blow to transatlantic relations it is not that the European Union did not expect this blow as it was warned in time the damage if these tariffs continue and are maintained at these levels will severely hit relations not only in terms of trade and economy but also in terms of politics and security which is the main axis of the transatlantic alliance," he said on Thursday on KTV's "Interaktiv".  Pula said that Europe is acting cautiously towards the new era of global trade that is different from what it has been so far.  He added that President Trump has no popular support for the tariffs he has imposed "If economic and political pressure increases to that extent or Republicans see their danger in the upcoming elections then we could see a turn against Trump from Republicans that would put an end to this economic and trade approach," he continued.  This site is controlled and managed by KOHA are protected by KOHA's copyright and KOHA retains the reserved rights for them Materials on this site may not be used for commercial purposes without the prior permission of KOHA is prohibited The use of materials from any website or other medium without the permission of the KOHA Group on behalf of all the units that make it up (Koha Ditore is a violation of copyright and of intellectual property according to the legal provisions in force All violators of these rights will face the law The translation of contents into other languages ​​is done automatically and there may be errors Annex of the former Radio Prishtina (first floor) George Bush pn Home » News » Hotel » Hotel Monumenti set to open in Pula this May [Credit: Heritage & Resort Hotel Monumenti] Croatia: Real estate company Kermas Istria is set to open the Heritage & Resort Hotel Monumenti and a fine-dining restaurant featuring local Istrian cuisine Every room in the resort will offer sea views either overlooking Pula’s city centre and nearby beaches or toward the Brijuni National Park The hotel is located on the site of a former Austro-Hungarian military barracks One wing retains the barracks’ renovated structure with 58 rooms while a new-build glass wing offering 40 deluxe rooms and eight suites also been added The project includes additional plans for a 450-berth marina on the nearby island of Sv has assembled a 70-strong team to run the hotel most of whom are local professionals from Istria He said: “One of our main goals was to attract local talent in a time when tourism faces a shortage of skilled workers.” While the hotel will start welcoming guests from mid-May the official grand opening is planned for autumn Serviced Apartment Awards Urban Living Festival Reading Time: 2 minutes UK: The Beaumont Mayfair has appointed Lisa Goodwin-Allen as culinary director as the hotel prepares to launch its new restaurant Rosi Feature Films Database Southern Mediterranean films database Scriptwriters European Film Schools Production Companies Distributors International Sales Submit a Film Industry Reports Co-Production Podcast Online Screenwriting Training Course Guided Course for Feature Film Writing Script Analysis Analysis of the potential of your series Cineuropa's Training Catalogue Film Festival Photographs Newsletter Photogalleries EUFCN Location Award Euro Film Fest 27 Times Cinema GoCritic!
