Hermoso is Spain's all-time leading scorer with 57 goals in 123 appearances She joined Mexican side Tigres Femenil in January 2024 and has five goals in 13 league games this season The 34-year-old revealed her desire to return to play for Spain earlier this week and despite missing out on selection this time Tomé has not closed the door for Hermoso to play for the national team again "Jenni has been and is an important player," she said I've been told and I'm aware that she is keen to keep working to come to the national team "I've said it many times there is no door close to any player Our job is to choose the best players based on our needs "Right now we have 71 players in the preliminary squad "In this list we have a group of players where we gather youth with a lot of talent players with experience that are very ambitious," Tomé said "We are very happy with the group of players we have." who are third in Group 3 of the Women's Nations League play at leaders Portugal on April 4 before hosting their neighbours four days later Two Boston sci­en­tists say they have de­vel­oped a new gene edit­ing tool based on mys­te­ri­ous “jump­ing genes” known as retro­trans­posons Dinazalda “Didi” Diogo is a fish monger in the small town of Neves in São Tomé and Príncipe (STP) an island nation off the western coast of Central Africa left for Portugal about a year ago with the hope to study at the university Joana’s plan was to finance her living expenses and support her family back home by working on the side but without any prior professional experience she has not been able to secure a job in Portugal and is struggling financially This has left Didi very worried: “I am actually the one thinking about sending money to her now,” she said 68 percent of young Saotomeans say they are considering leaving the country to secure better opportunities abroad The island economy is not currently creating sufficient quality jobs and social protection remains limited A third of the working age population who is not at school is economically inactive Unemployment is 10 percentage point higher than in other lower middle-income countries and particularly acute among youth (21 percent) With almost two thirds of the population under the age of 35 STP is currently facing significant emigration pressures As highlighted in the 2023 World Development Report migration can significantly contribute to socioeconomic development in both origin and destination countries including through knowledge transfers and financial remittances the drivers and impacts of migration have been little studied in the STP and there is a general sense that the country may not be significantly benefiting from it as well as interviews with migrant families increased labor mobility has not translated in meaningful economic gains The volume of remittances contributed by Saotomean migrants is small and has actually been decreasing over the past decade while a Saotomean migrant sends an average of US$266 per year a migrant from Cabo Verde (another Portuguese-speaking lower middle-income island country) manages to send US$1,525 Remittance inflows as share of GDP in selected African low and lower middle-income countries options to send remittances back to STP are currently limited migration can also profoundly impact household dynamics the responsibility to care for children is often transferred to other family members or friends This can lead to emotional challenges for children with potential consequences on their social and cognitive development as our interviews with Saotomean migrants confirmed.  Migration can impact children’s education and quality of care Towards a more beneficial migration model in STP Global evidence provides valuable lessons that could help address these challenges: 2.      Establishing labor mobility partnerships: Legal migration agreements with countries like Portugal could help better align the skills of migrants with the needs of destination labor markets. For example, Global Skill Partnerships help ensure that migrants are well equipped to contribute 3.      Strengthening migration support systems: Effective migration requires robust systems to support migrants and their families This could include intermediation services to connect migrants with employers abroad or a mobilization of the diaspora to encourage contributions to national development 4.      Enhancing remittance infrastructure: Innovations in digital payment services, such as Dobra Digital to make remittance channels more accessible and affordable Governments and financial institutions can then incentivize migrants to adopt these services 5.      Supporting families left behind: Migrant family members who remain in the country should be protected through social assistance, such as through the World Bank-financed Vulnerable Family Program (VFP) with special attention to children and adolescents Adopting some of these recommendations could help STP better leverage migration as a driver of development while minimizing its social costs This could go a long way to help families like Didi’s her daughter Joana could secure a stable job abroad while continuing her studies and supporting her family Didi remains optimistic: “I hope my daughter will finish her education and later return to São Tomé to look after me.” Thank you for choosing to be part of the People Move community The latest blog posts and blog-related announcements will be delivered directly to your email inbox Social Protection Specialist at the World Bank Search for a publication Search for a meeting © Shutterstock/Wirestock Creators | Sao Tome and Principe is an island nation situated off the western equatorial coast of central Africa On 13 December, Sao Tome and Principe exits the least developed countries (LDC) category established by the United Nations General Assembly The small island developing state off the coast of central Africa has emerged as a more stable and viable economy with strides in education The progress was in part bolstered by international support including technical assistance from UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) The list of LDCs currently registers 44 Sao Tome and Principe's average gross national income per capita reached $2,271 well above the LDC graduation threshold set at $1,306 Similarly, the country’s score on the Human Assets Index a measure of health and education outcomes far exceeding the graduation threshold of 66 Sao Tome and Principe needs to continue overcoming vulnerabilities linked to its geographic isolation small size of national markets and heavy reliance on the agricultural sector Debt distress – when a nation defaults on its financial obligations and debt restructuring is required – also weighs on the Sao Tomean economy. Its slowing real GDP growth, under 2% between 2021 and 2023, underlines the need for structural reforms to diversify the economy and enhance resilience to external and climate-related risks, particularly floods and rising sea levels. Graduation could reduce Sao Tome and Principe’s access to certain international support measures exclusive to LDCs. These can be trade preferences or concessional financing options – some bound to expire upon graduation and others with a transition period. The country therefore needs a strategic approach to effectively managing the shift and mitigating potential adverse impacts on the economy. Beyond graduation, UNCTAD remains committed to supporting Sao Tome and Principe’s efforts to diversify exports, enhance productive capacities and improve its business environment. Concerted efforts from the global community – including development partners and multilateral organizations – are also essential to provide technical assistance, share best practices and shore up resources the country needs to tackle post-graduation challenges.

Tome started as a presentation software company, offering an alternative to PowerPoint and Google Slides. As generative AI emerged, Tome incorporated AI features like automatically generating slideshows, driving strong user growth. Tome realized that while sales and marketing teams heavily used presentations, they spent even more time researching information for those decks than building them. "As we dug deeper into their needs, we realized they spend more time researching what to include in the presentation rather than making the presentation itself," explained Ves Stoyanov, Head of AI at Tome. Tome pulls data from a company's sales and marketing stack alongside external sources like financial filings, websites, and news. Claude analyzes this information to generate: "We need to understand the owners' strategic priorities and initiatives, how our product relates to them, and the usual approaches to potential clients," said Ves. "But you can imagine that this is a process that takes in the order of a few hours if you have to do it manually, in the depth that you would go for your important clients." When evaluating AI models for their sales use case, Tome found that Claude delivered better results than other alternatives they explored. By automating the research process, Tome enables sales reps to engage accounts faster. "Time savings is huge," noted Sarin Devraj, Tome executive. Tome expects to improve key sales metrics like emails sent, calls made, and conversion rates. More importantly, Claude's insights allow reps to reach out with messaging relevant to the account's most pressing priorities. Sarin explained, "At the end of the day, what signals whether a company needs your product is their overall strategic initiatives happening at that business." Tome sees an opportunity to close the loop between research, strategy, and execution. The company envisions starting with deep research capabilities powered by Claude, and expanding to help sales teams through the entire journey—from identifying opportunities to creating compelling presentations and understanding prospect engagement. "We strongly believe that AI isn't a moment, it's the future," said Ves. Case Study Try a different filter or a new search keyword Eclectic sounds from the Arab world.

In an emailed statement to BioPharma Dive Friday CEO Rahul Kakkar said Tome had scaled back operations and was in “ongoing confidential conversations with multiple parties.” The layoffs represent essentially all of the company’s staff; Kakkar told Endpoints News in an interview that Tome had about 130 employees The company did not return BioPharma Dive’s request for comment Monday on the status of the company’s consideration of strategic options Built around research licensed from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Tome debuted publicly in December the company had raised $213 million from a group of notable investors that included Andreessen Horowitz Arch Venture Partners and Polaris Partners Its goal was to advance gene editing technology that, in theory, could bypass challenges common to existing methods.

of the Spain women’s team says she was unaware a sexual violence protocol existed at the Spanish football federation after Luis Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso at the 2023 World Cup final.  who was assistant head coach to Jorge Vilda as Spain won that World Cup 18 months ago appeared as a witness on Monday at the Audencia Nacional court in Madrid during Rubiales’ continuing trial for alleged sexual assault and coercion She was called as a witness by the defence former president of the Spanish football federation (RFEF) kissed Hermoso as she and her team-mates received their winners’ medals and the trophy on the pitch in Sydney on August 20 He maintains the kiss was consensual.  the former Newcastle United forward and ex-RFEF sporting director Albert Luque and then marketing director Ruben Rivera — coerced Hermoso into publicly supporting Rubiales’ version that the kiss had been consensual the lawyer representing the Spanish players’ union (AFE) whether she knew there was a sexual violence protocol in place at the RFEF “to protect women especially” Tome said: “I’ve never spoken with anyone in the federation about that.” while holding the second most senior role with the Spain team at a World Cup Five days after the kiss, on August 25, Rubiales gave his infamous “I will not resign” speech while chairing an extraordinary RFEF assembly.  Tome and 10 other members of the Spain women’s coaching staff published a collective statement condemning the “unacceptable attitudes and actions of the RFEF chief” in which they said they had been “obliged to attend the assembly” Tome said that statement was to show “we were totally against the events that happened and that we positioned ourselves with the players” AFE lawyer Lopez highlighted that Tome and the others still did not activate the sexual violence protocol however. That didn’t happen until August 27 In the most recent version of the protocol published by the RFEF in June 2023 it lists “kissing by force” as one of the “situations attitudes and behaviours related to sexual violence” It says the RFEF should designate a “protection delegate” who leads the strategy of protecting sportspeople An investigation was started by the RFEF’s protection delegate The RFEF protocol says the investigation would involve speaking with the parties involved to gather information on the incident.  the protection delegate will put together a report which will be elevated to the RFEF’s advisory committee who will then raise it with the body’s presidency So at the time (until his resignation on September 5) that would have been Rubiales himself The RFEF says a report was produced by the integrity department which was then submitted to the compliance team The investigation was paused when criminal proceedings began against Rubiales and the report was shared with the court.  Rubiales was replaced as RFEF president by Pedro Rocha, though the latter subsequently got suspended for two years in July 2024 after Spain’s superior sports court (TAD) deemed the dismissal of former general secretary Andreu Camps in September 2023 was an abuse of his authority Rubiales had handpicked Rocha as his successor.  and earlier this month he was cleared of misusing public funds following an appeal Another line in the RFEF sexual violence protocol says it will “seek the protection of the victim and/or the person who asked for help guaranteeing that reprisals aren’t produced against the persons who presented the request Throughout this process, including when she testified on day one of the trial, Hermoso has spoken of the isolation she has felt and the lack of protection given to her by the RFEF. On day one, she said nobody from the RFEF came to see her to see how she was: “I felt completely unprotected by the RFEF “I felt absolutely alone at all times,” she said later “Whoever could have done a little more and helped me on the spot did not do so and made me feel totally alone.” Hermoso has not played for Spain since October Tome said: “What I said in the investigation phase a year ago What I said: the reasons for which Jenni didn’t come to the first call-up were sporting “And protecting her came into that because of the situation we were experiencing which was an exceptional situation and we were protecting her from the media everything is an absolutely sporting decision.” When asked by the AFE lawyer if leaving Hermoso out after the World Cup was a punishment (Top photo of Montse Tome: Joaquin Corchero/Europa Press via Getty Images) Guillermo began his career covering Real Madrid and the sports industry for Diario AS.

Tome CEO Rahul Kakkar in a statement to Endpoints News declined to provide more details regarding the reorganization—including whether a small group will stay on to manage the company as it winds down its operations noting that the layoffs had not been announced during a company meeting early last week The CEO also refuted reports that the startup had a Nov Tome is currently in talks with at least three companies interested in its pipeline or platform The layoffs come after news circulated last week that unfavorable market forces had forced Tome to wind down its operations and look at strategic options for the company The startup “is operating at a reduced capacity maintaining core expertise,” a spokesperson told STAT News which first reported the development last week “We are in ongoing confidential conversations with multiple parties to explore strategic options,” the spokesperson added however refusing to detail what changes the start-up is considering and how these might affect its employees and intellectual properties Tome launched in December 2023 with $213 million in Series A and Series B funding to advance its programmable genomic integration (PGI) platform which uses proprietary enzymes to insert or write genes without having to introduce double-stranded DNA breaks Its lead program integrase-PGI incorporates large fragments of DNA with some even stretching longer than 30kb of genetic code Kakkar called the PGI platform “revolutionary” with the potential to “reprogram the human genome.” PGI could yield cures for rare monogenic diseases the market did not share Kakkar’s enthusiasm A company spokesperson in a statement to STAT News said that “investor sentiment had shifted dramatically across the gene editing space,” leaving Tome with few viable options but

a mission to revolutionize genomic medicines has pared down operations and is exploring its “strategic options” due to a shift in “investor sentiment” in the gene editing space Alexandria Venture Investments and Longwood Fund The Massachusetts-based startup emerged from stealth to advance its programmable genomic integration (PGI) which CEO Rahul Kakkar at the time called “revolutionary” for its ability to “reprogram the human genome with an elegance and efficiency previously unimaginable.” The approach could yield “potentially curative treatments with a single drug per disease” for rare monogenic conditions Tome’s vision is not holding up to market realities A company spokesperson in a statement to STAT said that “investor sentiment has shifted dramatically across the gene editing space and we are in ongoing confidential conversations with multiple parties to explore strategic options,” the spokesperson said The company has yet to confirm what strategic changes it is considering how many employees will be affected and the potential impacts on its pipeline and platform a person familiar with the matter told STAT that the startup is heading towards its closure and needs to find a buyer by Nov Both sources spoke to STAT on condition of anonymity Tome’s PGI platform achieves the site-specificity of the Nobel Prize-winning CRISPR/Cas9 system using enzymes that are capable of inserting or writing entire genes without needing to introduce double-stranded breaks into the target DNA Tome’s most advanced program was integrase-mediated PGI (i-PGI) The biotech at the time likened the technology “capable of pasting test anywhere in a document.” I-PGI has achieved insertions of large fragments of DNA—with some exceeding 30kb of genetic code—with high site-specificity In May 2024, Tome presented data from its CD19/BCMA program using the I-PGI platform showing that it could efficiently integrate 12,000 base pairs into induced pluripotent stem cells I-PGI also led to functional expression of genes that could boost the efficacy of an autoimmune cell therapy In January 2024, Tome paid $65 million upfront to acquire Replace Therapeutics combining it with the CRISPR/Cas9 system to precisely alter short DNA sequences The transaction has a total value of around $185 million in stock and cash A breakdown on how to use the new Tome of Want in Destiny 2 Episode Heresy and how to find Essence of Desire to use for it brings with it tons of new ways to get loot and rank up throughout the next several weeks' worth of activities but looking at the two vendors can be a little complicated Here's how to get rewards from both the Shaping Slab and the Tome of Want in Destiny 2 Episode Heresy as well as how to obtain and use a new material The Path of Resolve Shaping Slab is found in the HELM inside of Eris Morn's apartment in the back corner This stone monolithic structure is basically the season's vendor for Heresy and increasing reputation with this vendor is all done here The key new features of this vendor are Runic Enhancement and the Mysterium. Runic Enhancement is basically a reward path that is unlocked using Sigil Shards earned from Nether activities that give players additional benefits while inside Heresy activities, including Nether runs These buffs and changes to gameplay include additional healing options increasing Sigil Shard drops from any sources The Enhancement Level of the Shaping Slab determines the maximum power of runes that can be slotted into the enhancements and is increased for every two reputation ranks earned So the more levels players have at the Shaping Slab the more Runic Enhancements they can slot in Runic Enhancements can also be changed during a Nether run at any time Find a green glowing skull icon and interact with it to slot in different Runic Enhancements The Mysterium allows players to permanently enhance their abilities while aboard the Dreadnaught and in the Nether These are permanent upgrades to Boons collected while on Nether runs Collect each type of Boon numerous times and then there will be an option to unlock the Mysterium upgrade The Tome of Want is obtained after completing an opening questline for Episode Heresy and visiting Eris Morn's apartment for the first time Upon hearing some dialogue from Sloane and Eris Morn interact with the Path of Resolve Shaping Slab where the second unlock is the Tome of Want Raise your reputation with the Shaping Slab to level 2 and then purchase the Tome of Want from the Shaping Slab itself These upgrades directly affect players in the Nether with various effects permanently applied during a Nether run Each Engraving is unlocked as the Tome itself is used over time and experience is gained through completing Rituals choose a section on the row labeled Ritual Rites and then pick a Scripture to place into the first slot The Scripture will then curate the next run of the Nether dropping whatever is dictated by the Scripture chosen for the slot In the second slot is where a specialized Scripture for much more specific rewards can go ,like a specific weapon or the Amorphus Scripture of Ultimate Power This exotic Scripture can be slotted in for a chance at any of the following: The third slot of the Tome of Want is where players can spend two Essence of Desire obtained by turning in stacks of 10 Metastasized Essentia from completed Nether runs to the Taken altar in Eris' apartment to obtain at three seasonal rewards at the end of a Nether activity This initiates the Ritual and will trigger loot drops at the end of the next Nether run Players looking for new fun ways to take down the Hive in the Dreadnaught should also check out our guide on new Destiny 2 builds for Episode Heresy Got a news tip or want to contact us directly?
