As He Pretends Anheuser-Busch is an American Company, CEO Brendan Whitworth Fails Leadership Test

National Legal & Policy Center

Anheuser-Busch has finally addressed the controversy that has embroiled the company since April 1 when it centered a Bud Light promotion around transgender “influencer” Dylan Mulvaney. Only problem is, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth released a statement Friday addressing the issue by not addressing it, accomplishing nothing but to underscore his own helplessness and guaranteeing that the conflagration will continue. Whitworth’s statement asserted that “we never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people.” But nowhere could he even say what the “discussion” is about, as if the topic was too hot to even mention. He doesn’t say it was a mistake for a beer company to promote transgenderism, nor does he defend the ad campaign. It is as if he had to say something if only to quiet his coterie of underlings and PR consultants who were no doubt urging him to say something. He took the faintest stab possible to assuage consumers who might most object to the promotion by saluting “military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.” But he could not state the obvious about why all these great people might object to Dylan Mulvaney, namely that men cannot become women, and that it is a folly for anyone, much less a beer company, to advance this lie. Unfortunate for Whitworth, he is handcuffed by the company’s long association with activists who would turn on him as quickly and eagerly as they have accepted his company’s support and money over the years. Anheuser-Busch gets a perfect 100 score on the Human Rights Campaign so-called Corporate Equality Index, and the company promotes gender ideology in its internal training programs. Whitworth fails the leadership test. It’s easy to lay claim to effective institutional management when all the choices are good. Real leadership becomes evident, however, when the choices are bad. But maybe we shouldn’t be so hard on poor Whitworth because his authority as CEO is not what is seems. Whitworth, whose actual title is “CEO North American Zone,” proudly reports that Anheuser-Busch was “founded in America’s heartland more than 165 years ago,” but he does not mention that the company was sold to the multinational InBev in 2008. The company is now known as Anheuser-Busch Inbev SA/NV, and is incorporated and headquartered in Belgium. In addition, CEO Michael Doukeris is a Brazilian citizen. According the company’s website, nine of its 12 directors are appointed by something called “Stichting Anheuser-Busch InBev,” which it describes as “a foundation organised under the laws of the Netherlands, which represents an important part of the interests of the Belgian founding families of the Company and the interests of the Brazilian families previously shareholders of AmBev.” So, Whitworth’s real bosses are a group of ultrarich Europeans and South Americans, who will ultimately act in what they perceive to be their own interests, not those of American beer drinkers. These plutocrats attempt to keep the attention off their wealth by buying off the activists who might challenge it. That is why the company panders to, and bankrolls, a host of woke causes worldwide. Like Unilever, another Europe-based multinational whose American subsidiary Ben & Jerry’s plunged it into controversy (when it ended ice cream sales in the disputed territories of Israel), Anheuser-Busch InBev abets social and political causes that undermine the cultural values and economic interests of the consumers they purport to serve. National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) sponsors the Corporate Integrity Project. When Anheuser-Busch was still an independent company, NLPC filed a series of shareholder proposals seeking disclosure of its financial support for political and social activist groups.

10 Best Proxy Server PS4 & PS5 Providers 2023 🎮

ProxyBros

What's a proxy server, and why do you need that for PS4 or PS5? Can a proxy server PS4 enhance your gaming experience? What is the best free proxy server, and which paid one will help you better? Learn all this and more, and find your best proxy server for PS4 and PS5 in this article!

A proxy is a computer networking mechanism serving as a mediator between you and the service you need. Mostly, this is needed for load balancing, privacy, and security, but there are also additional benefits for different spheres. Why should I use a proxy on PS4 and PS5? Here is the answer: Gaming services may request extra apps for better connectivity. A console can repeatedly ask for such an application and lag if you have no proxy service. That often happens if your WiFi is unsecured, there is data corruption, hardware problems, or the PlayStation network bans you. Proxies ensure the possibility of interruptions is minimized. Your gaming console gets an additional security shield. PlayStation never uses VPNs directly, but a proxy service with rotating IPs can help gamers circumvent geo-restrictions. So, What Is the Best Proxy Server for PS4 and PS5? Discover the top proxy server address PS4 PS5 here! All of them are different and can be more helpful for a specific game. #1 MobileHop — Best for the US Gaming Experience Overall 🥇 IPs and locations MobileHop focuses on US locations.

It even has specially designed proxies for Runescape Dofus Silkroad Metin 2 Lineage 2 WoW and other games. #3 Proxy-Seller — Best for Epic Games Products 🥉 IPs and locations Europe: Switzerland Sweden Denmark Spain Italy Malta Ireland Israel Romania France Finland Latvia Lithuania Germany England Sakartvelo Chezh, and some other countries. Asia: Taiwan Armenia Cambodia China India Indonesia Iran Japan Kazakhstan Turkey UAE and some other countries. North America: USA Canada Mexico The PS4 proxy service also provides services for South Africa, Brazil, Venezuela, and Australia. Why is this the best choice?

It also has many subnets, and you can request multiple of those. You can change your proxy for another without paying extra if you have already purchased it for a long period. #4 Smartproxy — Best for Australian Gamers 🦘 IPs and locations Smartproxy has locs for almost all countries. It provides IPs in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania. Creating a list of those here will take the whole website. But also, SmartProxy is a rare case that works with various locations in Oceania, such as Australia Fiji Micronesia Palau Tuvalu Christmas Island French Polynesia Nauru Papua New Guinea Vanuatu Cocos Islands Guam etc. Also, you can buy proxies for particular cities. Why choose SmartProxy? Besides the 195+ locs, this PS5 and PS4 proxy server provider guarantees a 99.99% uptime and 99.47% success rate and offers 50M+ residential, mobile, and data center IPs. SmartProxy is also great when you need PS5 servers for cheap. It also has the strongest support and a great community to help you. That is yet another best option for the fastest PS5 connection speed. #5 Oxylabs — Best for the Largest Network 🌎 IPs and locations Oxylabs covers over 195 countries. Worldwide is the only word for it. Why should I use a proxy server on PS4 from Oxylabs? Oxylabs is the synonym for high-speed, boosted cybersecurity, good expertise, and responsible support. This provider offers 100M+ residential proxies and 2M+ data center proxies — all at top speed and with great performance. Oxylabs is more suitable for business but can also be the handiest gaming tool. #6 BrightData — Best for High-Speed Services 🚀 BridghtData has five stars on most review platforms but deserves the night sky. That is a reliable proxy for gaming and other purposes, and the brand also contributes a ton to charity. Using BrightData, gamers get the needed fast connectivity with security and make this world healthier. #7 HideMyName — Best Cheap Proxy for Gaming of All This tested and trusted proxy provider protects all your passwords, transactions, and other data. HideMyName has been around for a long time, shows great performance, offers many locations, and has a strong customer protection policy. #8 IPRoyal — Best for the EU Gamers 🏰 IPRoyal has many payment plans and has made gaming-optimal ones the cheapest. This universal proxy solution focuses on business needs first and foremost but can provide great security and flawless connectivity for gamers alike. Note that this provider has more locations in the EU. Yet, it also works for the US and China. #9 NetNut — Best for Protecting Your Anonymity Staying anonymous on the net is important; NetNut can help you with that like nothing else. This cheap gaming proxy ensures fast performance and 100% informational safety online. #10 Storm Proxies — Best for Free Bandwidth 👍 Storm Proxies is another all-in-one service you can use for gaming. Moreover, the brand has created special services for gamers. Its wide bandwidth is 100% free! Furthermore, this best free proxy server has fast speeds and good support. Free Proxies VS Paid: Can a Free Proxy Carry You? 🤔 Free proxy servers are a popular consideration. Moreover, such apps and IP rotators can be costly, which does not help when a PS game already costs $50 and more. Like, excuse me, $30 for a security-boosting app when Dead Space is already $69.99, and Elden Ring is $59.99? Na, ima get a free proxy... The thing is, I do not recommend using even the best free proxy server. The so-called best free proxy app can be seemingly functional and helpful. Yet, practice shows that such tools usually have technical issues and only pretend to secure your device from digital threats. Moreover, the potentially best free proxy server will still have a lower speed than a paid one. Suppose you want a cool game and have two options: buy a licensed version or pirate it. You feel this difference, right? Sticking to the safest options is better, even when costly. Final Words 👋😀 Have you found the best proxy service for your needs? I hope yes! Stay safe, enjoy your gaming sessions, and may your PS always be protected! Best of luck! Contact Details Proxy Bros Nick +1 929-491-3157 hello@proxybros.com Company Website https://proxybros.com/

Kane Robotics Launches Smart Cobot Solution for Sanding, Grinding, Finishing in Aerospace Manufacturing

Kane Robotics

Kane Robotics today announced the launch of its first collaborative robot (cobot) solution, the GRIT TM cobot. Developed by aeronautics and composite experts, GRIT dramatically improves productivity, reduces health risks, and solves labor shortages for aerospace maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) companies. The first cobot solution innovated for composites sanding, Kane’s GRIT TM cobot works alongside humans to perform labor-intensive sanding, grinding and polishing for materials removal within any size and type of manufacturer. Unlike traditional industrial automation, GRIT solutions are reconfigurable for different tasks. With three sizes, the cobots can accommodate a wide variety of jobs. They are accessible even for smaller manufacturers; a GRIT system requires an average investment of just $100,000, with customers reporting a 100% return on investment after six months. “Aerospace and defense manufacturers require extremely precise sanding, grinding, polishing and finishing work to ensure parts meet regulatory requirements and achieve top performance,” says Kane Robotics COO Alan Hiken, a composites expert with a 30-year career in aerospace engineering. “GRIT cobot solutions provide the highest-quality work and help save teams from injuries and illness by filling repetitive, labor-intensive jobs.” The GRIT helps aerospace manufacturers complete jobs such as: Sanding primer from interior aircraft components Polishing fighter jet canopies after thermoforming to remove orange peel and achieve optical clarity Removing coating and sanding surfaces for paint preparation or repairs on helicopter main rotor blades. GRIT is the second generation of Kane’s collaborative robotic solutions. Manufacturers in aerospace, defense and other industries recognized impressive results from the first generation, including: Exponentially increased productivity. A 12-hour sanding job can turn into 3.5 hours when done by a GRIT cobot. Moreover, cobot sanding is precise and uniform, minimizing the need for further detail work before starting second-phase operations. Reduced health risks. Kane’s GRIT cobot reduces repetitive injuries to wrists, elbows and shoulders and respiratory and ocular illness caused by airborne particles. Companies report significant savings in healthcare costs. Filling job vacancies. U.S. manufacturers have difficulty attracting new workers, especially for taxing work like sanding. GRIT cobots can help fill those roles and lessen the need to replace retiring workers as the manufacturing workforce ages. A GRIT cobot can free veteran workers to do what they do best – operations that require higher-order reasoning and decision-making. GRIT solutions are designed for ease of use and require no specialized expertise to install, operate, or program. The practical system is compact and mobile and plugs into 110V electrical outlets. It can be operated by staff technicians and be up and running in almost any manufacturing facility within hours or days rather than months or years. Because GRIT solutions are quick to set up and operationalize, they realize near-immediate ROI. “With GRIT, manufacturing teams can simultaneously improve their productivity and solve safety and labor shortage challenges,” says Kane CEO John Spruce. See a live demonstration of Kane Robotics’ GRIT cobot at booth #4806 at the MRO Americas Aviation Week exhibition, April 18-20, 2023. Contact Kane for more information at https://kanerobotics.com/contact/. About Kane Robotics Since its founding in 2019, Kane Robotics has collaborated with manufacturers in aerospace, defense and other industries to simplify material removal processes through automation, creating the first collaborative robot (cobot) built specifically for composites sanding. Kane’s reconfigurable and easy-to-operate cobots work alongside humans to perform safe and precise sanding, grinding and finishing. The compact, mobile and affordable cobot solutions are accessible to all sizes and types of manufacturers and offer a pragmatic way to dramatically increase productivity, improve safety and fill job vacancies for dangerous, repetitive and labor-intensive tasks. With extensive experience in aerospace and defense, Kane’s industry experts are considered some of the top minds in the world for automation in sanding and composites.

L'émetteur-récepteur sans fil UWB de SPARK offre une efficacité énergétiqueet une latence meilleures que celles de Bluetooth Low Energy ou de ZigBee à des débits de données plus élevés, ce qui permet un flux de données ininterrompu ainsi qu'une mesure de distance et un positionnement précis. « La technologie UWB de SPARK a été intégrée à la montre parce que ses capacités permettent de concrétiser la vision de notre produit », a déclaré Thomas Eriksson, fondateur et PDG de Platonum. « Ces capacités permettront à nos clients d'utiliser quelque chose d'unique et de sur mesure ». Platonum rompt avec la dépendance des clients à l'égard des chipsets intégrés en déplaçant les calculs à l’extérieur de la montre. Grâce à la diffusion interactive en temps réel, il n'est pas nécessaire de remplacer des pièces pour rester à la pointe de la technologie. Les mises à niveau de la puissance de traitement s'effectuent sur le serveur, ce qui rend chaque Platonum infiniment adaptable. Il n'existe actuellement aucun concurrent capable d'offrir la même polyvalence et la même puissance. Platonum est une magnifique montre conçue, fabriquée et assemblée à la main en Suède. À propos de Platonum Platonum construit des montres sur mesure avec une technologie et des matériaux uniques, créant un nouvel ensemble d’expériences pour les clients en utilisant la solution Deep Augment. UX Stream, société sœur de Platonum, est une société de logiciels dotée de la technologie MIRS (Mobile Interactive Real-Time Streaming) unique en son genre. La solution de streaming d'UX Stream permet de concentrer une grande quantité de puissance de traitement dans un petit format, en allant directement du serveur à l'utilisateur, en contournant toutes les barrières matérielles pour permettre des interfaces et des applications plus riches, plus rapides et plus innovantes.

SPARK Microsystems

SPARK Microsystems, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company specializing in next-generation ultra-wideband (UWB), today announced that Swedish watch innovator Platonum has chosen SPARK’s UWB technology to provide ultra-low latency and low power, real-time data streaming for Platonum’s first series of Deep Augment TM watches. Platonum is the world’s first timepiece built with this unique technology and materials that handle all computation outside of the device, achieving near-limitless speeds and computing power for customizable content streamed directly to the watch. “Platonum’s new Deep Augment TM watch represents a true revolution in consumer lifestyles and is creating a new market segment of cutting-edge watches,” said Julie Delamarre, SPARK Microsystems, Vice President of EMEA Sales. “The Platonum watch is based on unique engineering, making it a visionary product enabled by the short-range data streaming capabilities of SPARK’s UWB technology. The ultra-low power SPARK UWB wireless transceiver enables a new class of short-range wireless connectivity applications, exemplified by Platonum. The SPARK UWB wireless transceiver achieves an order of magnitude greater energy efficiency, latency and ranging than Bluetooth Low Energy or ZigBee at faster data rates, supporting uninterrupted data streaming as well as accurate ranging and positioning. “SPARK’s UWB technology was designed into the watch because its capabilities are an enabler to the vision of our product,” said Thomas Eriksson, Platonum, Founder and CEO. “These capabilities will allow our customers to use something unique and tailor-made.” Platonum breaks customers’ dependence on disposable embedded chipsets by moving computation outside the watch. Leveraging interactive real-time streaming, there’s no need to replace any parts to stay cutting-edge. Processing power upgrades happen on the server making each Platonum infinitely adaptable. There are currently no competitors capable of delivering the same versatility and power. Platonum is a beautiful watch designed, engineered, and assembled by hand in Sweden.
