ESG gets its woke label because this sort of analytical framework also looks at non-explicitly financial data when deciding whether a company is worth investment. Qualities such as environmental and social impact are examined to determine the effect the company has on the world. Internally, this framework also looks at how the company is run, which turns on factors such as how inclusive and diverse it is and the degree of transparency it operates with....

The video, which has been posted on social media, shows two officers police officers pulling the minor from his bicycle and pinning him to the ground.

MORE: Five things about the Irish in 2016 The Notre Dame wide receiver announced Wednesday he will not play for the Irish during his senior year, citing “multiple concussions” as the reason. He said he will continue supporting the team as a student assistant, but the son of NBA legend David Robinson will have plenty on his plate during the upcoming school year as it is.

“My gosh, I really don’t know how to say it without being gruesome, it just destroys the lungs,” Dr. Jon Thogmartin, the medical examiner for Pinellas and Pasco County said, WTVT-TV reported on Monday. “Let me just say that.” Thogmartin cited his own experience doing autopsies and a study published earlier this month by Scripps Research, a nonprofit medical research facility. That analysis suggested that up to 45 percent of those infected with the novel coronavirus were asymptomatic, while also noting that these individuals appeared to suffer lung damage....

The latest U.S. daily death toll on July 30 was 1,465, according to data compiled by Worldometer. That means one American died nearly every 60 seconds (about every 58.9 seconds) on Thursday.

That marks a more than 16.5 percent spike from the 6,352 total new fatalities recorded over the previous week from July 17 to 23....

A total of 24 people linked to the event tested positive for COVID-19....

Thousands of people have tested positive for the new strain, temporarily named 2019-nCoV, and cases have been confirmed in 10 countries. In most cases, patients have experienced mild symptoms, but the virus can cause pneumonia and more than 50 cases have resulted in death. While 2019-nCoV raised concerns about a widespread global outbreak, on Thursday, the World Health Organization (WHO) emergency committee said it didn’t constitute a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC)....

But others cautioned that the risk of recession is low and China will likely contain the new coronavirus by the end of March, staving off an economic crisis. Moreover, the internet is helping offset some of the economic damage. Monday’s sharp falls on America’s Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and NASDAQ indices bled into Tuesday. So did drops on the FTSE 100 in the U.K. and the Nikkei 225 in Japan....

The virus has infected more than 220 people in the Middle East, with at least 26 deaths reported in Iran—the highest death toll outside China. The foreign ministry of Saudi Arabia announced on Thursday it is taking “proactive preventive measures to prevent the arrival of the new coronavirus.” The deadly virus, which was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, has infected at least 81,109 people globally, around 78,191 of whom are in China....

However, a dashboard run by Johns Hopkins University, which regularly combines data from the CDC as well as local health departments, put the figure at 433, with The New York Times tracker reporting cases across 32 states....

The virus, which was first detected in China’s Wuhan city of the Hubei province, has been gaining ground across the globe, with more cases now reported outside China than within. China experienced over 81,000 cases with over 3,200 death and almost 70,00 recoveries. The country is now claiming to have largely contained the outbreak. New cases have emerged in at least eight countries, territories and areas within Africa, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Americas region and the Western Pacific, according to the Wednesday report from the World Health Organization (WHO)....

In a statement at the time, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who chaired the Roundtable, said, “Major employers are investing in their workers and communities because they know it is the only way to be successful over the long term.” The Roundtable’s announcement was met with plenty of skepticism. After all, business leaders have always professed their concern for their communities, but the scandals have kept rolling in. Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted life across the country and all over the world, corporate leaders have a big opportunity to prove that they meant their promise—or to prove the naysayers right....

My Sporting News colleague recently ranked all 32 NFL head coaches and started with the following line: "One fairly reliable rule of thumb: Start with Bill Belichick and work your way down." And then this: "It's going to be a long time before any coach is able to dislodge him from the top." It's no surprise. Belichick is an extraordinary football coach. The argument for him being the best head coach in the NFL is an easy one and it starts and probably ends with the incredible sustained success that his New England Patriots have enjoyed since 2001....

After originally remaining silent on HB 1557, which aims to ban the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in certain grades at Florida schools, Disney eventually came out against the legislation and vowed to seek to have it repealed. In response, DeSantis, who signed the bill into law on March 28, has frequently attacked the company, including saying it had “crossed the line” with its opposition to state legislation....

Much of that emotion stems from the simple fact that the work of the past is finished, and is considered sacrosanct: when looking back on a record-breaking team, for instance, the consideration of how much further it could have gone is often secondary to the sheer gravitas of the record. The present is ongoing, and now more than ever, is subject to continuous, pedantic review; it comes to be looked upon as unformed and, by extension, flawed and misshapen....

Drones are not tomorrow’s weapons of mass destruction. They’re here today, and the technology required to fashion such a device is only getting cheaper, smarter and more accessible. One U.S. military official who requested anonymity paints a potential nightmare scenario involving small drones, referred to as unmanned aerial systems, unmanned aircraft systems, or simply, UAS. “I kind of wonder what could you do if you had a couple of small UAS and you flew into a crowded stadium,” the U....
