WHR Global Releases “Ask the Expert” 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report

MILWAUKEE, April 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHR Global (WHR), a leader in the global employee relocation industry, announced the release of its international 2023 Destination Services Benchmark Report called “Ask the Expert.” WHR surveyed 32 companies from its trusted destination services provider network, covering 56 countries worldwide. WHR believes its Benchmark report will help current and future clients compare their global mobility programs to other companies’ destination service offerings for relocating employees and assignees. As companies continue to compete for talent, relocation benefits must be competitive.

Destination services help relocating employees get settled in their new location and can include the following: Area Orientation; Local Registration; Tenancy Management, Lease Check Out and Property Management; Home Search; Mortgage Counseling; Temporary Housing; Spousal and Partner Career Assistance; Help with Immigration (Visa and Immigration Regulations); School Search for Children; Moving Pets; Language and Cultural Training; and Other Settling-In Services.

WHR’s Benchmark data includes the following for 56 countries:

  • The average number of days companies offer destination services and days recommended, by country (by entry-level, mid-level and executive-level employees; and by varying family sizes).
  • The most common leasing arrangement for expats, by country.
  • Destination services presenting the most difficulty, by country.
  • Departure services offered for employees leaving a location, by country.
  • Ease or difficulty getting security deposits back and timeline, by country.
  • Additional recommended destination services, by country.

According to WHR Strategic Initiatives Manager, Sean Thrun, “Benchmarking destination services helps answer key questions that are critical to employee engagement and retention: Am I offering my employees enough support? Should we provide departure services, or are employees capable of handling on their own? What should my employees be aware of when they move to this country? If your employees are highly specialized and difficult to replace, this Benchmark will guide the service level you provide, and help your employees relocate eyes wide open.”

Findings from the comprehensive Benchmark include:

  • In Germany, a security deposit can take up to 11 months to be returned because the tenant must wait until the end of the year for utility company calculations.
  • In the Philippines, a destination service provider recommended at least two days support for entry-level employees (with family sizes of one) and five days of support for executive-level employees (with family sizes of three).

پانچ ہزار سال قبل مشترکہ آباؤ اجداد کی پوجا کے لیے عظیم الشان تقریب کا انعقاد کیا گیا

زینگژو، چین، 25 اپریل 2023/  ژنہوا-ایشیانیٹ/–تیسرے قمری مہینے کے تیسرے دن 22 اپریل کو وسطی چین کے صوبے ہینان کے دارالحکومت ژینگژو شہر میں آباؤاجداد کی پوجا کی ایک عظیم الشان تقریب کا انعقاد کیا گیا۔ دنیا بھر میں بہت سے چینی اپنے مشترکہ آباؤ اجداد پیلے شہنشاہ کی پوجا کرنے آئے، چین کی خوشحالی کے لئے دعا کی اور عالمی امن اور ہم آہنگی کی خواہش کی۔

مشترکہ آباؤ اجداد کے آبائی شہر میں 2023 پیلے شہنشاہ کی پوجا کی تقریب

چینی لیجنڈ کے مطابق پیلے شہنشاہ 5000 سال قبل پیدا ہوئے تھے، انہوں نے ایک ملک قائم کیا تھا اور ژینگژو کے علاقے میں اپنی دارالحکومت قائم کی تھی۔انہوں نے چینی قوم کی تشکیل کے لئے بہت سے قبائل کو متحد کیا اور انہیں چینی تہذیب کے آباؤ اجداد کے طور پر جانا جاتا تھا۔

حالیہ برسوں میں ژینگژو میں آثار قدیمہ کی دریافتوں نے اس بات کی تصدیق کی ہے کہ اس سرزمین پر ایک ریاست کے ظہور کا وقت لیجنڈری پیلے شہنشاہ کے دور سے مطابقت رکھتا ہے۔ لہذا ، ژینگژو کو پیلے شہنشاہ کا آبائی شہر سمجھا جاتا ہے۔

تیسرے قمری مہینے کا تیسرا دن مشہور پیلے شہنشاہ کا یوم پیدائش ہے۔ 770 قبل مسیح سے 221 قبل مسیح کے عرصے سے، اس دن پیلے شہنشاہ کی پوجا کرنے کی ایک فولک روایت رہی ہے۔

21 ویں صدی کے آغاز سے اب تک ژینگژو نے لگاتار 18 تقریبات منعقد کی ہیں۔ نو طے شدہ رسومات جن میں سلام کرنا، پھولوں کی ٹوکریاں پیش کرنا، بخور پیش کرنا، عبادت کرنا، قدریں پڑھنا، تعریف گانا، رقص کرنا، چین اور عالمی امن اور ہم آہنگی کے لیے دعا کرنا، قومی غیر محسوس ثقافتی ورثے کے طور پر درج کیا گیا ہے۔ پیلے شہنشاہ آبائی شہر اینسسٹ کی آرگنائزنگ کمیٹی کے مطابق اس سال کی تقریب خاص طور پر عظیم الشان ہے کیونکہ یہ کوویڈ 19 وبائی مرض کے بعد آف لائن آباؤ اجداد کی پوجا کا پہلا سال ہے۔

پیلے شہنشاہ کے آبائی شہر میں پوجا کی تقریب کی گونج طویل عرصے سے بیرون ملک سنائی دے رہی ہے۔اس سال سان فرانسسکو، لندن، سڈنی، بنکاک اور دیگر مقامات پر عبادت کی سرگرمیوں کے انعقاد کے لیے ژینگ ژو کی پیروی کی۔

آباؤ اجداد کی پوجا چینی عقیدے کی بنیاد ہے۔ مشہور چینی ثقافتی اسکالر وانگ لیکون نے کہا کہ عبادت کی ثقافت چینی قوم کی منفرد ثقافتی یاد کو برقرار رکھتی ہے، اور زرد شہنشاہ کی اولاد کے درمیان جذباتی شناخت اور رابطے کا مرکز ہے، جو خاندانوں، قبیلوں اور یہاں تک کہ پوری قوم کو برقرار رکھنے کے لیے ایک مضبوط روحانی ہم آہنگی پیدا کرتی ہے۔

چین کے آٹھ قدیم دارالحکومتوں میں سے ایک ہونے کے ناطے، آج کا زینگژو قدیم اور جدید عناصر کو ضم کرتا ہے، اور آسان نقل و حمل اور پھلتی پھولتی تجارت سے لطف اندوز ہوتا ہے۔

ایک ترقی پذیر قومی مرکزی شہر اور چین کی تاریخی تہذیب وراثت اور جدت طرازی میں ایک کلیدی کھلاڑی کی حیثیت سے، ژینگژو 10 ملین سے زیادہ لوگوں کی زندگیوں اور خوابوں کو پناہ دیتا ہے۔ امیر قدیم تہذیب اور متحرک جدیدیت کے ساتھ، زینگژو کھلے ہاتھوں سے دنیا کو گلے لگا رہا ہے۔

Insilico Medicine Successfully Discovered Potent, Selective, and Orally Bioavailable Small Molecule Inhibitor of CDK8 Using Generative AI

Abu Dhabi, April 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Insilico Medicine (“Insilico”), a clinical-stage generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery company which operates the largest AI-powered biotech R&D center in the Middle East, announced that it has successfully discovered a potent, selective, and orally bioavailable small molecule inhibitor of CDK8 for the treatment of cancer using a structure-based generative chemistry approach enabled by the Chemistry42 generative reinforcement learning platform. The research was published in the American Chemical Society’s Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, a leading journal in medicinal chemistry.

As members of the CDK family, CDK8 and its paralog protein CDK19 play critical roles in regulating transcription of many different signaling pathways involved in oncogenic control. Deregulation of CDK8/19 has been implicated as a driving force in many human cancers, particularly in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and advanced solid tumors. Moreover, CDK8/19 is also involved in immune modulation. Targeting CDK8/19 could enhance NK cell cytotoxicity and stimulate NK cell-mediated tumor surveillance. Therefore, targeting CDK8/19 is regarded as a promising strategy with a two-in-one mechanism of action that not only inhibits tumor cell growth, but also increases immune cell activity.

The research published by Insilico was supported by its generative chemistry engine, Chemistry42, which is built on years of modeling and pre-training of large biological, chemical and textual datasets. Chemistry42 includes 42 generative engines and more than 500 predictive engines for scoring which allows researchers to generate molecules with desired properties from scratch using deep learning technologies through structure-based drug design (SBDD) and ligand-based drug design (LBDD).

In this study, scientists described the process of using the SBDD module of Chemistry42 to generate a key anchor linker and identify the hit compound targeting CDK8. Over several optimization cycles, R&D scientists further improved in vitro metabolic stability, kinase selectivity, and in vivo pharmacokinetic profile cross-species, leading to the discovery of one potent, selective, and orally bioavailable inhibitor of CDK8, which was evaluated in in vivo efficacy studies and demonstrated robust tumor growth inhibition in multiple in vivo efficacy models.

In addition to the published molecule, Insilico scientists are progressing with another AI-generated CDK8 inhibitor with a novel structure. Insilico is open to potential partnerships with pharmaceutical companies to co-develop the drug candidate.

“At Insilico, we encourage scientists to share their innovative insights in AI-driven drug discovery with the industry by publishing peer-reviewed papers,” said Feng Ren, PhD, Co-CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of Insilico Medicine. “In this case, we have not only discovered a novel compound for a promising target, but also provided innovative practices in early drug discovery supported by generative AI.”

Insilico has pioneered applying multiple generative approaches for drug design in both generative chemistry and generative biology and published the first paper in generative chemistry. The company then submitted the relevant patents on applying these generative approaches for chemistry and biology, and integrated these approaches into the commercially available Pharma.AI platform, which includes PandaOmics™ a system utilizing multiple predictive and generative biology models; a generative chemistry engine, Chemistry42™; and a clinical trial outcomes prediction engine InClinico™, which utilizes a combination of omics-based predictors and text-based transformers. Powered by generative AI, Insilico is delivering breakthroughs for healthcare in multiple disease areas. The lead program targeting fibrosis-driven diseases has completed  Phase 0 and Phase I clinical trials and received positive Phase I topline data and Orphan Drug Designation.

“We described the concept of using generative AI for the design of novel molecules in a peer-reviewed journal in 2016 for the first time. Later, we developed multiple approaches and new features for our GAN-based AI platform for drug design. We also started patenting our findings so that ,in some areas, patents preceded publications. Some of my favorite patents combine generative chemistry and generative biology,” said Alex Zhavoronkov, PhD, Founder and CEO of Insilico Medicine. “I am excited to see  that with the support of generative AI, we have achieved several industry milestones and advanced the drug candidates discovered by generative AI to the clinical stage. In 2022 alone, we nominated 9 preclinical candidates utilizing generative AI. We are committed to refining our approach and tools to reshape the future of healthcare by generative innovation.”

About Insilico Medicine

Insilico Medicine, a clinical-stage generative artificial intelligence (AI)-driven drug discovery company, is connecting biology, chemistry, and clinical trials analysis using next-generation AI systems. The company has developed AI platforms that utilize deep generative models, reinforcement learning, transformers, and other modern machine learning techniques for novel target discovery and the generation of novel molecular structures with desired properties. Insilico Medicine is developing breakthrough solutions to discover and develop innovative drugs for cancer, fibrosis, immunity, central nervous system diseases, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, and aging-related diseases. In early 2023, the Company opened the Insilico Medicine Generative Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Computing Research and Development Centre in Abu Dhabi, the region’s largest AI-powered biotechnology research center. The R&D hub brings together global talent in artificial intelligence and software development to expand the capabilities of Insilico’s end-to-end AI-driven drug discovery platform, Pharma.AI, explore aging research and sustainable chemistry, and support the digital transformation of healthcare in the region. www.insilico.com

Grand ceremony was held to worship common ancestor 5,000 years ago

ZHENGZHOU, China, April 24, 2023 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/– On April 22, the third day of the third lunar month, a grand ancestor worship ceremony was held in Zhengzhou City, capital of central China’s Henan Province. Many Chinese across the world came to worship their common ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, pray for the prosperity for China and wish the world peace and harmony.

The 2023 Yellow Emperor worship ceremony at the common ancestor’s hometown

Chinese legend has it that the Yellow Emperor was born, established a country and set his capital in the area of Zhengzhou over 5,000 years ago. He unified many tribes to form the Chinese nation and was revered as Chinese civilization’s ancestor.

Archaeological discoveries in Zhengzhou in recent years have confirmed that the time of the emergence of a state on this land coincides with the legendary Yellow Emperor era. Therefore, Zhengzhou is regarded the Yellow Emperor’s hometown.

The third day of the third lunar month is the birthday of the legendary Yellow Emperor. Since the period of 770 BC – 221 BC, there has been a folk tradition of worshipping the Yellow Emperor on this day.

Since the start of the 21st century, Zhengzhou has held 18 consecutive ceremonies. Nine fixed rituals including saluting, presenting flower baskets, offering incense, performing worship, reading worths, singing praises, dancing, praying for China and global peace and harmony, have been listed as national intangible cultural heritage. This year’s ceremony is especially grand as it marks the first year of offline ancestor worship after the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Organizing Committee of the Yellow Emperor Hometown Ancestor Worship Ceremony.

The worship ceremony in the Yellow Emperor’s hometown has long found its echo abroad. This year, San Francisco, London, Sydney, Bangkok and other places followed Zhengzhou to hold worship activities.

Ancestor worship is the cornerstone of Chinese belief. Wang Liqun, a famous Chinese cultural scholar, said that the worship culture retains the unique cultural memory of the Chinese nation, and is the meeting point of emotional identity and communication among the Yellow Emperor’s descendants, which forms a strong spiritual cohesion to maintain families, clans and even the whole nation.

Being one of the eight ancient capitals of China, today’s Zhengzhou integrates ancient and modern elements, and enjoys convenient transportation and booming trade.

As a developing national central city and a key player in China’s historical civilization inheritance and innovation, Zhengzhou harbors the lives and dreams of over 10 million people. With rich ancient civilization and vibrant modernity, Zhengzhou is embracing the world with open arms.
