Golden Shield Resources reveals initial drilling results from work at Marudi North prospect
Golden Shield Resources
Golden Shield Resources Executive Chairman Leo Hathaway joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share initial results from the drill campaign at the company's flagship Marudi Mountain gold project in Guyana. The company received assays from 14 of the first 39 drillholes, totaling almost 2,000 meters. These drillholes targeted areas like IP-6 and Pancake Creek. The results have helped define a large package of prospective FQ to the southwest of historical drillholes. This expansion enlarges the current footprint of the Marudi North prospect to an approximate extent of 100 x 100 meters, confirming the continuity of the gold-bearing horizon to the southwest of its previously known extent. The company is in the process of consolidating downhole geochemical data to facilitate future diamond drill targeting. This data will be crucial for advancing the prospect to the diamond drilling stage. Golden Shield Resources has a structured plan to advance the highest-rated exploration targets to the diamond drilling stage.

Rafael Luna: A multi-talented musician, educator, and mentor paving the way for the advancement of society through music
Prodigy Press Wire
The album cover for "Raf Standards" by Rafael Luna AKA “Raf” credit for cover art: Kate Renshaw-Lewis - Graphic Design Many believe that music is a universal language. After all, it has influenced cultures and societies, just as how cultures and societies have influenced it. Rafael Luna also known as “Raf”, a global creative director from California, aspires to emphasize this connection and help the next generations realize its importance. Despite being born into a musically inclined family, Rafael’s passion for music does not only stem from it. Music naturally became a way of life for him. Because of his interest in culture and society, Rafael composed and produced jazz and contemporary music heavily inspired by them. “My music gravitates toward the art of meditation… exploring the conscious, unconscious, and the likes,” says Rafael. The multi-talented musician wanted to deepen his connection with music. Therefore, he made it both a hobby and a profession. After obtaining a bachelor's degree in Music Performance and Technology and a master's degree in Pedagogy, Audio Visual Arts, and Musical Improvisation at the California Institute of the Arts, Rafael pursued being an educator. He kickstarted his teaching career in 2005 and worked as a flute instructor, music educator, and creative arts teacher. In 2017, Rafael established " The Raf Collective." This platform is meant to be used for academic research on the advancement of society through musical storytelling. Two years after Rafael founded The Raf Collective, he actively began to seek more ways to elevate his teaching methodologies and academic approach. During the pandemic, he realized that pursuing music as a hobby and a professional endeavor presents two different lenses. He notes that these two distinct lenses can be utilized together to develop a more in-depth approach to teaching music. “I believe that music can’t be separated from the broader environment. How I see myself, my personal experiences, the cultures and societies I’m passionate about; I want them to resonate through my music. I just want my music to reach the hearts of as many people as possible,” says the spirited musician and educator. Rafael conducts workshops and tours and collaborates with different schools to fulfill his mission. He recently discovered his passion for sharing his knowledge and experiences with other people. Remembering the teachings of his beloved mentor Charlie Haden, Rafael decided to become a mentor. He has a new goal of connecting with the younger generation of musicians and promoting music education. Rafael is now looking for collaborations and partnerships with educational institutions that will provide him with avenues to encourage aspiring musicians to persevere, learn, and grow. Furthermore, in line with his life mission to incorporate his background as a researcher of societies and cultures in his music, Rafael is working on implementing a "new educational system" with a foundation centered on interdisciplinarity and holistic approaches. “As a multiracial person, my goal is to pave the way for others. I have paved my own path, and I want everyone to pave theirs,” the global creative director stressed. Media Contact Name: Rafael Luna Email: raf.globalcreativedirector@gmail.com Release ID: 778446

NLPC Files Ethics Complaint Against Senator Robert Menendez Seeking His Expulsion
NLPC
The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC) filed an ethics complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee against Senator Robert Menendez. The complaint requests that the Committee investigate his criminal conduct and recommend that the Senate vote to expel him from office. NLPC’s complaint cites the recent superseding indictment against Senator Menendez, his wife, and three New Jersey businessmen, who “willfully and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated, and agreed together and with each other” to have Senator Menendez act as an agent of the Government of Egypt and Egyptian officials. In return for this and other favors to the businessmen, he and his wife received bribes and other illegal gratuities of over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing and closets in his home — along with gold bars, a luxury Mercedes Benz, and personal items. “Menendez’s excuse for having $480,000 in cash stuffed in his clothes and closet because he was saving it from his paycheck for a rainy day is laughable and insults the intelligence of his constituents, especially when his co-defendant’s fingerprints were found on some of the envelopes,” said Paul Kamenar, NLPC’s counsel who filed the complaint. “We checked his financial disclosure forms and if anything, his Senate bank account increased by a sizable amount,” Kamenar added. The complaint notes that the Ethics Committee is mandated under its rules to open a preliminary inquiry and cannot nor should not wait until the criminal case is resolved as the Committee previously indicated that it would do. “The Ethics Committee should do its job and not wait until the criminal case is completed,” said Kamenar. “The Ethics Committee should do the Senate a favor and recommend that Senator Menendez be expelled from the Senate as his colleagues are calling on him to resign,’ Kamenar added. NLPC’s complaint notes that Senator Menendez was previously tried for bribery in 2018 for receiving gifts and luxury travel from his benefactor Dr. Salomon Melgen. NLPC was instrumental in that case of uncovering Senator Menendez’s lobbying efforts to fund a multi-million-dollar port security project in the Dominican Republic in which Dr. Melgen had a financial interest. “While his case ended in a hung jury, Menendez did not learn his lesson and continued to abuse his office and act corruptly,” said Peter Flaherty, NLPC Chairman. “Senator Menendez is not only a career politician but a career criminal,” Flaherty added. ### Founded in 1991, NLPC promotes ethics in public life and government accountability through research, investigation, education and legal action.

Employee Ownership Expansion Network seeks to create one million more employee-owners by 2025
Prodigy Press Wire
Employee Ownership Expansion Network (EOX), a national non-profit organization, is actively working to garner support to complete its goal of enabling one million employees to achieve ownership by 2025. Logo of the Employee Ownership Expansion Network Since its founding in 2019, EOX has been committed to changing lives, building wealth equity, and saving jobs through education and outreach via the creation of State Centers for Employee Ownership. Many business owners don’t understand the benefits of employee ownership, and EOX is steadfast in bringing awareness and resources as avenues for change. Employee ownership has been proven to help employees build wealth, stay longer at their jobs, and positively impact the community. Employee ownership models often ensure that workers don’t lose their jobs once a company is sold. There is a network of State Centers representing 21 different states. These non-profit organizations offer unbiased outreach and education resources to the local community in the form of speaking engagements, seminars, webinars, and social media marketing campaigns. EOX plans to gain investments for its secondary goal of expanding the network of State Centers to 25 US states by 2025. The investments will be used for increasing staffing, grassroots outreach, and general support of all State Centers on a national level. Employee Ownership Expansion Network is championed by board members with over 160 years of combined experience working at or running employee-owned firms. The business was founded to address the ongoing challenges of proliferating employee ownership centers throughout the US. Executive Director Steve Storkan believes there are so few employee owned companies in the United States because many business owners feel they are being sold employee ownership, not educated about it. EOX’s ultimate goal is to disprove the myths around creating and selecting an employee ownership model that works for a business and its employees. Most everyday businesses reward their employees with profit-sharing and quarterly bonuses. While these programs are financially advantageous for workers, business owners could be doing more to share the success their company achieves with their employees. A business only reaches success due to the hard work and dedication of its employees, which is why EOX is passionate about employees being rewarded through equity ownership in their companies. Within the private tech sector and large public companies, employee ownership is very common. Workers may receive discounts on company stock prices and access to stock options. However, this model is generally reserved for senior leaders and requires employees to invest their money to gain financial wealth. Employee Ownership Expansion Network’s model is entirely different because all employees can access equity and wealth at no cost. EOX promotes three employee ownership models: Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), worker cooperatives, and employee ownership trusts (EOTs). ESOPs are the most common form of employee ownership in the United States. These plans allow workers to accumulate stocks annually in a retirement plan account, which can be exchanged for cash once they leave the organization. Worker cooperatives are perfect for smaller organizations that want the business to run democratically. Each employee-owner has one voting share of stock on the members of the board of directors and major corporate decisions. No matter the employee ownership plan your business may leverage, EOX believes it positively affects workers, businesses, and their owners, as well as the overall local economy. “Employee ownership empowers workers, provides them with a stake in the company's success, and creates a sense of shared purpose and responsibility,” says Executive Director Steve Storkan, “As a result, it not only promotes economic equity but also ensures a smoother transition for businesses during the retirement of their leadership.” Millions of business owners are looking to sell their businesses in the coming years. EOX hopes to be a guiding light for these individuals since employee ownership can provide employees and companies with flexibility and security on what happens to a business cultivated by decades of hard work and sacrifice.
