FRSH FINAL DEADLINE NOTICE: ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Freshworks Inc. Investors with Losses Exceeding $100K to Secure Counsel Before Important January 3 Deadline in Securities Class Action – FRSH

NEW YORK, Dec. 31, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Freshworks Inc. (NASDAQ: FRSH) pursuant and/or traceable to the Company’s initial public offering conducted in September 2021 (the “IPO”), of the important January 3, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Freshworks securities you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Freshworks class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9546 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 3, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, the registration statement and prospectus used to effectuate Freshworks’ IPO were false and misleading and omitted to state that, at the time of the offering, the Company’s business had encountered obstacles. As a result, Freshworks’ net dollar retention rate was plateauing, and its revenue growth rate and billings were decelerating. As the truth about Freshworks’ business reached the market, the value of its shares declined dramatically, causing Freshworks investors to suffer significant damages. Indeed, by the commencement of the action, Freshworks’ shares traded as low as $10.51 per share, representing a decline of over 70% from the IPO price.

To join the Freshworks class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9546 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CGTN：How do emergency wards in China cope with increasing COVID patients?

BEIJING, Dec. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Ninety-year-old Qu Fucheng was waiting for his COVID-19 treatment in Wuhan Zhongnan Hospital when his son realized how crowded the emergency department was.

CGTN_Emergency_Ward

“My father was in very critical condition at home, ” the son told CGTN, frowning. “If something had happened to him because I didn’t handle the situation well, I don’t know how I would ever have been able to forgive myself.”

The deputy head of the department said they had seen “a significant increase” in the number of patients, while most of the severely ill were senior people with underlying diseases.

In a bid to leave no patient unattended, the emergency department converted the emergency observation room into a buffer zone to reduce waiting time.

And that’s where Qu Fucheng was transferred to.

“Seeing my father’s serious condition, the doctors immediately took him to one of the beds,” the son said. “I thought it wouldn’t have gone that smoothly when I was at home.”

To treat as many patients as possible, all medical personnel and equipment have worked around the clock with full “combat effectiveness.” After receiving first aid treatment, Qu’s condition soon saw some improvement.

Head nurse Tian Yu told CGTN that a buffer zone is not enough to smooth the workflow, adding that a good workflow is critical for the emergency department.

No “hospital run”

Such measures are being taken in many emergency wards across China, as the country saw an increase in COVID patients after lifting some of the COVID restrictions.

Some worried there will be too many patients for the hospitals to host, leading to a so-called “hospital run” like a bank run during an economic crisis. Luckily this didn’t happen thanks to timely adjustments in hospitals.

Cities like Beijing built more temporary fever clinics, while others like Chongqing expanded existing fever-treating department and reassigned doctors from other departments to support COVID treatment.

Online solution

The Chinese government also expanded online medical services for COVID-19 patients on December 12. Areas like Beijing, Zhejiang and Hunan have already put the new policy into practice.

“The online medical services can provide consultation and medication guidance for more patients who stay at home,” Jiao Yahui, head of the Bureau of Medical Administration under NHC, told China Media Group. “Prescriptions can be made online and drugs would be delivered offline, which can ease the pressure of visiting doctors offline, and avoid crowds in hospitals to reduce the risk of cross-infections.”

South Africa mourns Boksburg tanker blast victims as death toll rises to 34

JOHANNESBURG, The number of deaths due to the gas tanker explosion has tripled since the incident happened on Christmas Eve.

 

Families and friends of victims of a gas tanker explosion in Johannesburg on Christmas Eve gathered on Friday morning for a memorial service, even as the death toll increased to 34 from an earlier estimate of 27, the provincial health department said.

 

Health Minister Joe Phaahla joined relatives of the victims to pay their respects by lighting candles at the Boksburg Civic Centre.

 

The blast tore the roof off the emergency department at the Tambo Memorial hospital in the city’s Boksburg suburb on Saturday. Many bystanders were also injured, while it destroyed houses and several cars.

 

The latest casualty numbers were announced in a statement on Friday by a spokesperson for the Gauteng Department of Health.

 

“The Department of Health can confirm that the death toll from the Boksburg Explosion incident has risen to 34 as of Friday, 30 December 2022,” it said.

 

The victims included 11 health workers and 23 members of the public, the spokesperson said, adding that the numbers were constantly being updated. The severe nature of the burns inflicted by the blast was expected to result in an increase in the number of deaths, authorities had earlier said.

 

The victims included children as young as nine, according to a message shared by the health department on social media commemorating a memorial for the victims.

 

Meanwhile, President Cyril Ramaphosa promised relief to the victims and said authorities were investigating the incident.

Press Release President Barrow Receives ECOWAS Commission President, Outgoing ECOMIG Commander

State House, Banjul, 30th December 2022: In a series of engagements, President Adama Barrow, Friday, 30th December 2022, received the ECOWAS Commission President, H.E. Dr Omar Touray and the Outgoing ECOMIG Commander in The Gambia, Colonel Cheikh Omar Tamba, at the State House in Banjul.

 

In his audience with Dr Touray, the President expressed pride in having the first Gambian to assume such a position in the sub-regional body, adding it happened when the sub-region yearned for diplomacy and technical expertise to tackle the challenges confronting it. “You came at a time when the subregion is confronted with many challenges, but with your expertise and diplomatic skills, we will continue to support you,” President said.

 

Following his audience with the President, Dr Touray said he was on his first official mission since assuming office to express gratitude to the Gambian people through the President and Government of The Gambia for being selected in his current position. “I believe thousands of Gambians could have been selected for this position. Having this role assigned to me is a mark of confidence that I am very appreciative of.” He stated.

 

Dr Touray noted that it was also an opportunity to recommit and re-engage himself to work for what is best for the region and seek guidance from the President on the number of issues the region is facing. He remarked that the President’s ideas would be highly beneficial at the regional level.

 

He commented on the Commission’s aims, stating that peace and security are key strategic goals to strengthen the region’s response capabilities through early warning systems, deployment, and preventive diplomacy.

 

Given the region’s highly youthful population, he emphasized the importance of mainstreaming women and youth in development. He outlined trade and constitutionalism, amongst others, that need crucial attention. Dr Touray urged ECOWAS citizens to cherish and strengthen the community for future generations.

 

In a separate engagement, President Barrow bade farewell to the outgoing Commander of the ECOMIG forces in the Gambia,  Cheikh Omar Tamba, who he described as a  professional, frank and trustworthy person. He commended Tamba and his predecessors for nobly serving The Gambia.

 

“ECOWAS wants to use The Gambia as a model, and I am grateful to all the Heads of State for their support. I believe in democracy, and we can entrench it in our country,” the President said, expressing optimism that the continued security sector reforms would strengthen its capacity-building component.

 

Commander Tamba, for his part, thanked the President for enabling them to do their work.

CGTN：Poems and New Year blessings preheat for CGTN’s multilingual integrated product

BEIJING, Dec. 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — In 2022, CGTN’s “Read a Poem” campaign launched several special events for the Qixi Festival in August, the Mid-Autumn Festival and International Day of Peace in September, and the upcoming new year.

Thirteen ambassadors and representatives from Guinea-Bissau, Sri Lanka, Guyana, Mexico, Uruguay, Algeria, Jordan, Ecuador, Malawi, Guinea, Egypt, United Nations Women, Russian Cultural Centre in Beijing and The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) accepted CGTN’s invitation to read poems and send blessings for the upcoming new year.

I will craft my own drum. Gather my beloved near, and our chanting will be dancing, our humming will be drumming,” she read.

‫تسجل شركة Sinopec رقماً قياسياً جديداً لعمق البئر العمودي يبلغ 8866 متراً في حوض سيتشوان، الصين

بكين، 30 ديسمبر 2022 / PRNewswire / — شركة البترول والكيماويات الصينية ( HKG : 0386، “ Sinopec “) أعلنت أن بئر Yuanshen-1 لاستكشاف المخاطر في حوض سيشوان قد أكمل بنجاح الحفر على عمق 8866 مترًا، متجاوزًا الرقم القياسي السابق الأعمق في حوض Sichuan الذي سجله بئر Rentan-1 .

Sinopec Sets A New Vertical Well Depth Record of 8,866 Meters in the Sichuan Basin, China.

اختراق كبير لـ “مشروع الأرض العميقة” لـ Sinopec ، وصل بئر Yuanshen-1 إلى أعمق تكوين للنفط والغاز في عمق الدفن في حوض سيشوان ويظهر كذلك الإمكانات الكبيرة لصخور الكربونات القديمة العميقة في المنطقة.

وفي اليوم نفسه، كشفت شركة Sinopec رسميًا النقاب عن “مشروع الأرض العميقة – قاعدة الغاز الطبيعي في سيشوان وتشونغتشينغ”، بالتعاون مع شركة Sinopec للاستكشاف، وشركة Sinopec للنفط والغاز في الجنوب الغربي، وشركة Sinopec زونغيوان لحقول النفط، وشركة Sinopec جيانغان لحقول النفط، وشركة Sinopec شرق الصين للنفط والغاز. هذه هي قاعدة Sinopec الثالثة “مشروع الأرض العميقة” بعد قواعد Shunbei Oilfield و Jiyang Shale Oil .

حتى الآن، بلغت موارد الغاز الطبيعي العميقة في Sinopec في حوض سيشوان في المناطق التي تتمتع بحقوق التعدين 15 تريليون متر مكعب، وهو ما يحمل وزنًا ثقيلًا لاحتياطيات الغاز الطبيعي ونمو الإنتاج في الصين.

وصل بئر Yuanshen-1 إلى أعمق خزان للهيدروكربونات في حوض سيشوان – مجمع التلال الضحلة للسحنات الهامشية للمنصة في تكوين دنجي. أثناء الاستكشاف، لا تزال صخور الكربونات شديدة العمق، المدفونة على عمق يزيد عن 8700 متر، تظهر أدلة هيدروكربونية إيجابية في الخزان المسامي.

الحفر على عمق أكثر من 8000 متر يمكن أن يجلب العديد من التحديات للاعبين الصناعيين العالميين. يزن الغلاف العلوي كبير الحجم 517 طنًا على مستوى الأرض، وهو ما يمثل تحديًا لقدرات الرفع والتغليف الخاصة بمنصة الحفر. كما تشتمل درجة الحرارة الفائقة الارتفاع في الأرض العميقة على متطلبات عالية لاستقرار مائع الحفر وقدرته على مكافحة التلوث، ويكون التجويف عند هذه الأعماق صعبًا ومستهلكًا للوقت. ولمكافحة هذه التحديات، طورت Sinopec خمس تقنيات رئيسية للحفر العميق للغاية لدعم التنقيب عن النفط والغاز في خزانات الكربونات العميقة والعميقة للغاية.

واصلت Sinopec التقدم في استكشاف الهيدروكربونات العميقة في حوض سيشوان، بما في ذلك الغاز التقليدي في صخور الكربونات البحرية العميقة وغاز الصخر الزيتي العميق. وقد اكتشفت حقول الغاز في بوغوانغ ويوانبا وشوانكسي، وحتى الآن، تجاوزت قدرة Sinopec على إنتاج الغاز التقليدي السنوي من خزانات الكربونات البحرية العميقة 12 مليار متر مكعب.

لمزيد من المعلومات، يُرجى زيارة  Sinopec .

10 سنوات من تقديم خدمات الدفع العالمية المبتكرة

شنغهاي، 30 ديسمبر 2022 / PRNewswire / — مع إصدار بطاقات UnionPay التي تتجاوز 200 مليون خارج البر الصيني،   UnionPay International (UPI) تدخل عقدًا جديدًا من تقديم خدمات دفع عالية الجودة وفعالة من حيث التكلفة وآمنة عبر الحدود إلى أكبر قاعدة لحاملي البطاقات في العالم. وقد توسع شركاء UPI من 60 عضوا أوليًا منذ إنشائها في عام 2012 إلى 2500 مؤسسة على الصعيد الدولي مع شبكة قبول تغطي حاليا 181 بلدًا ومنطقة، يُصدر 78 منها حاليا بطاقات UnionPay ، مما يضمن تقديم خدمات محلية ملائمة لعدد متزايد باستمرار من حاملي بطاقات UnionPay العالمية والتجار.
