Krakatoa Resources Ltd

Krakatoa Resources Ltd (ASX:KTA) chairman Colin Locke tells Proactive the company has received firm commitments to raise $1.6 million through a share placement to advance an expanded drilling campaign at the wholly-owned King Tamba Project in Western Australia. Locke says now’s the time to take an aggressive approach in the search for lithium after an initial 1,800-metre reverse circulation drilling program intersected thick, continuous pegmatites, including a flat-lying blind pegmatite up to 39 metres thick underneath a 4.3% Li2O rock chip at the Wilsons prospect. “We thank investors for their continued support and welcome new shareholders to our registry,” Locke said. “Our drilling partners, Topdrill, have demonstrated their confidence in the project by drilling for equity.” Contact Details Proactive Investors Jonathan Jackson +61 413 713 744 jonathan@proactiveinvestors.com

Pizzeria Uno Celebrates its 80th Anniversary as the Birthplace of Chicago’s beloved Deep Dish Pizza

UNO Pizzeria & Grill

This December, Pizzeria Uno (known informally as Uno’s) will celebrate its 80 th anniversary which also commemorates the 80 th birthday of the introduction of Chicago Deep Dish Pizza. Pizzeria Uno and its iconic location at the corner of Ohio and Wabash in downtown Chicago are universally regarded as the birthplace of Deep Dish pizza which has become a staple of the Chicago and American food landscape. To mark the occasion, Pizzeria Uno will host an 80 th Anniversary party at its downtown Chicago location on December 4 th at 6PM. The invite-only party will include entertainment, giveaways, pizza-making demonstrations and, of course, plenty of deep dish pizza for sampling. Included on the guest list is former Chicago Bear player and current sports radio host Tom Waddle. “I have been a long-time fan of Pizzeria Uno. It started back in my days at Boston College in Boston where I used to frequent the locations there with my then girlfriend who is now my wife. It’s such an iconic brand and the deep dish pizza has always been amazing. To think that it all started in this small brownstone building here in Chicago 80 years ago is amazing”. The deep dish story is an integral part of the rich Chicago food scene. In 1943, former University of Texas football star Ike Sewell and his friend WWII G.I. Ric Ricardo opened the flagship Pizzeria Uno Restaurant at its current location in the River North neighborhood of Chicago, Illinois. As legend has it, the deep-dish pizza was born when the two experimented in the kitchen creating a “pizza pie” or the thick upside-down pizza that became known as the Chicago deep dish pizza. It wasn’t long before people were lining up at the door, so Sewell opened a second restaurant in response to Pizzeria Uno’s popularity, Pizzeria Due, which is one block away. In 1963, Ike then opened the historically relevant Su Casa, a Mexican restaurant, as a passion project. The legend of Pizzeria Uno was introduced to the rest of the US and the world starting in 1978 when entrepreneur Aaron Spencer, a Massachusetts resident and prominent businessman, purchased the franchise rights to the restaurant and brand. Spencer opened the first franchise location in Boston with an expanded menu to attract an even broader crowd. The restaurant added locations to as many as 20 states and multiple countries. Pizzeria Uno deep dish pizza is currently enjoyed in over 80 locations worldwide. Pizzeria Uno General Manager, Robert Komar, is proud of the mark that Pizzeria Uno has left on the food scene in Chicago. “To come to work each day knowing that this building here on the corner of Ohio and Wabash is the birthplace of deep dish pizza is an incredible feeling. Deep dish pizza, which is woven into the fabric of the Chicago and American food culture, is such an iconic part of this city. People come from all over the world to experience it here in this beautiful building. We are so proud to be part of the legacy here and will continue to serve up deep dish for another 80 years.” About UNO Pizzeria & Grill Based in Boston, Massachusetts, Uno Restaurant Holdings Corporation includes approximately 80 company-owned and franchised UNO Pizzeria & Grill restaurants located in 18 states, and the District of Columbia, India, and Saudi Arabia. UNO is all about connecting people over pizza – from its famous Chicago Deep Dish, which UNO invented in 1943, to its Chicago Thin Crust, to its gluten-free and vegan pizzas.

ATA to Hold Virtual Roundtable in Response to Film Translators

American Translators Association

A free virtual event held during Universal Human Rights Month will address the challenges depicted in the film Translators and provide insights into the repercussions of asking children to work as interpreters for people with limited English proficiency (LEP) and the trauma it can cause. The American Translators Association (ATA), the premier association of translators, interpreters, and language professionals in the world, will hold a free online roundtable to discuss concerns over the depiction of children as interpreters in the film Translators, directed by Rudy Valdez and presented by U.S. Bank. A diverse panel of language services industry experts, including researchers, language access advocates, and former child interpreters, will provide insights into the issue, explaining how the film missed a unique opportunity to address the trauma child interpreters can experience and how people who need professional interpreters can avail themselves of their federally protected rights to access them. The panel will discuss a review of the film and the issues it presents, analyze the challenges of offering “meaningful” language access for LEP individuals, and suggest solutions to avoid placing the language brokering burden on children. The free virtual event will be held on Thursday, December 14, 2023, at 12:00 p.m. EST in English, with Spanish and ASL (American Sign Language) interpreting and live professional captioning. Register here to receive a Zoom link to attend. A recording of the event will be made available afterwards on ATA’s website.

Sui Surpasses $150M in TVL, Showcasing Blistering DeFi Momentum

Sui

Sui, the pioneering Layer 1 blockchain and smart contract platform created by the technology team that emerged from Meta’s Diem Blockchain project, has accelerated beyond expectations in just over six months since its mainnet launch, surpassing $150 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) according to leading DeFi aggregator DefiLlama. This key milestone, which currently places Sui within the top 20 blockchains in TVL, signifies a growing DeFi ecosystem backed by a deep pool of developer talent and a community that is strengthening by the day. In addition to its TVL trajectory, which is up over 500% since the start of September, the Sui Network has surged past $100 million in bridged stablecoins. Sui has also surpassed Bitcoin in total historical on-chain transaction count, affirming its capacity for scalability and efficiency, and underscoring the blockchain’s ability to facilitate seamless, secure, and lightning-fast transactions. The ability to process a high volume of transactions while maintaining peak network performance has supported this DeFi growth, as Sui recently set a new record for the most transactions processed in a single day by any blockchain ever. “Sui’s rapid ascension reflects both the growing demand for its unique, native technology and a vibrant community that is fueling the growth and adoption of the Sui Network,” said Greg Siourounis, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation. “To reach this level of adoption within months of the network’s mainnet launch is remarkable and bodes extremely well for the future of this burgeoning DeFi ecosystem.” This level of growth is further supported by a robust network of independent DeFi projects adding value and utility for the community. For example, Cetus, a leading DEX and concentrated liquidity protocol within the Sui ecosystem, also recently achieved a significant feat by surpassing $1 billion in total transaction volume. This accomplishment underscores the depth and decentralization of the Sui Network’s DeFi landscape. Builders on Sui are also prioritizing relationships and collaborations across the globe, as evidenced by the recent partnership announcement with technology incubator Hub71. With roots in Abu Dhabi, the UAE’s capital, and a large investment base, Hub71 supports over 260 startups, and has committed to introducing UAE-based startups to the Sui ecosystem. Sui’s ascendancy makes it a growing force in the industry as Web3 braces itself for what many expect to be a period of high growth. With its object-centric model and unparalleled scalability, Sui’s potential for mass adoption arises from its simplicity for developers and rapid transaction processing for broader use cases.
