By Heather Somerville SAN FRANCISCO, June 30 (Reuters) - A well-known Silicon Valley investor, Dave McClure, has been demoted within the firm he co-founded, 500 Startups, the latest fallout from revelations of mistreatment of women in the technology industry. An internal investigation found McClure "had inappropriate interactions with women in the tech community," according to a blog post published Friday by Christine Tsai, 500 Startups co-founder, who said the decision to demote him was made a few months ago. "His behavior was unacceptable and not reflective of 500�s culture and values," she said. "I sincerely apologize for the choices he made and the pain and stress they�ve caused people." McClure will assume a limited role at the firm and is attending counseling, Tsai said. McClure on Friday said in a text message to Reuters that he and Tsai "are still on good terms" and "she has my full support." The firm made the change public on Friday following a report by the New York Times that named McClure, along with well-known investor Chris Sacca, as perpetrators of sexual harassment toward women who were applying for jobs or seeking fundraising. The report said McClure was no longer in charge of day-to-day operations. Sarah Kunst, founder and chief executive of fitness startup Proday, told the New York Times that McClure had sent her an inappropriate Facebook message after she discussed a potential job at 500 Startups. "Before the New York Times article, Dave had already been demoted because of his harassment of women, however no one outside of 500 Startups had been made aware of this fact," Kunst told Reuters on Friday. "Women did not know to avoid him. The lack of disclosure is part of the problem. Women don't know who is a bad actor when the funds cover it up." McClure referred a request for comment on Kunst's statement and other questions to a spokeswoman, who declined to comment beyond the blog post. 500 Startups invests in early-stage startups around the mua chăn ga gối everon world and offers an accelerator program for entrepreneurs. Its investments include the ride-hailing company Grab and personal finance company [http://www.accountingweb.Co.uk/search/site/Credit%20Karma Credit Karma].

He is known to make many investments around the world and far beyond Silicon Valley, in places like Turkey and sub-Saharan Africa. Sacca, who gained prominence with early investments in Twitter and Uber, on Thursday published a blog post apologizing for his behavior. "I now understand I personally contributed to the problem," Sacca said. He had announced in April that he was retiring from his VC firm, Lowercase Capital. Several women spoke to the New York Times after news site The Information published a report last week detailing inappropriate behavior toward women by investor Justin Caldbeck of Binary Capital. He has since resigned and apologized publicly. In February, former Uber engineer Susan Fowler wrote a blog post detailing the company's culture of sexual harassment, which prompted a months-long investigation that culminated with the resignation of chief executive Travis Kalanick. The events have brought new focus to what many in the industry say is a long-standing culture of [http://www.reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=entrenched entrenched] sexual harassment and discrimination that has made it difficult for women and racial minorities to raise funds and assume leadership positions.

SRINAGAR, India (AP) - A woman was killed and several others injured during anti-India protests and clashes in Indian-controlled Kashmir that erupted on Saturday after government forces launched an operation against rebels in the disputed region, police said. Indian troops came under fire from militants as soldiers laid a cordon around southern Dyalgam village following a tip that rebels were hiding there, said senior police officer Muneer Ahmed Khan. After a brief exchange of fire, militants took a refuge inside a home where civilians, including women, were also trapped. Khan said the woman was killed in the crossfire. However, locals said that several men and women rushed to the house where the militants took shelter and [http://wiki.hawkms.com/index.php?title=NBA:_Curry_inks_200_million_deal_with_Warriors_-_report đệm lò xo everon rẻ nhất hà nội] asked soldiers to give them safe passage.

As the news of the siege [https://everon.asia/san-pham/dem-lo-xo-everon.html đệm lò xo everon rẻ nhất hà nội] spread, hundreds of people from Dyalgam and neighboring villages broke the security lockdown and marched near the site in solidarity with the rebels while demanding an end to Indian rule over the region. Intense clashes chan ga goi everon erupted in and around the đệm bông ép everon hà nội village as locals threw rocks at the troops who fired tear gas and shotgun pellets to quell the spiraling protests. At least seven people were injured and one among them was said to be critical. In recent years, Kashmiris, mainly youths, have displayed open solidarity with anti-India rebels and sought to protect them by engaging troops in street clashes during military operations against the militants. The anti-India protests and clashes have persisted despite the Indian army chief warning recently that "tough action" would be taken against stone throwers during counterinsurgency operations. Nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan each administer part of Kashmir, but both claim the Himalayan territory in its entirety. Rebel groups have been fighting since 1989 for Kashmir's independence or merger with neighboring Pakistan. Nearly 70,000 people have been killed in the fighting and the ensuing Indian crackdown. Anti-India sentiment runs deep among the region's mostly Muslim population and most people support the rebels' cause against Indian rule despite a decades-long [http://Ms-jd.org/search/results/search&keywords=military%20crackdown/ military crackdown] to fight the armed rebellion. India has accused Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, which Pakistan denies. Rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian forces in recent years and public opposition to Indian rule is now principally expressed through street protests.

Trump backs repealing Obamacare now replacing it later

2017-07-05T14:02:55Z

Pat49C0171875709:

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Donald Trump barged into Senate Republicans' delicate health care negotiations Friday, declaring that if lawmakers can't reach a deal they should simply repeal "Obamacare" right away and then replace it later on. Trump's tweet revives an approach that GOP leaders and the president himself considered but dismissed months ago as impractical and politically unwise. And [https://everon.asia/san-pham/chan-ga-goi-everon.html chan ga goi everon] it's likely to further complicate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's task as he struggles to bridge the divide between GOP moderates and conservatives as senators leave Washington for the Fourth of July break without having voted on a health care bill as planned. "If Republican Senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately REPEAL, and then REPLACE at a later date!" Trump wrote. President Donald Trump speaks at the Department of Energy in Washington, Thursday, June 29, 2017. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh) The president sent his early-morning tweet shortly after Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse appeared on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends" to talk about a letter he had sent to Trump making that exact suggestion: a vote on repealing former President Barack Obama's health law followed by a new effort at a working out a replacement. Trump is a known "Fox & Friends" viewer, but Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky also claimed credit for recommending the tactic to the president in a conversation earlier in the week. "Sen. Rand Paul suggested this very idea to the president," said Paul spokesman Sergio Gor. "The senator fully agrees that we must immediately repeal Obamacare and then work on replacing it right away." Either way, Trump's suggestion has the potential to harden divisions within the GOP as conservatives like Paul and Sasse complain that McConnell's bill does not go far enough in repealing Obama's health care law while moderates criticize it as overly harsh in kicking people off insurance roles, shrinking the Medicaid safety net and increasing premiums for older Americans. McConnell told reporters after an event Friday in his home state of Kentucky that the health care bill remains challenging but "we are going to stick with that path." "It's not easy making American great again, is it?" McConnell said. McConnell has been trying to strike deals with members of both factions in order to finalize a rewritten bill lawmakers can vote on when they return to the Capitol the second week of July. Even before Trump weighed in, though, it wasn't clear how far he was getting, and Trump's tweet did not appear to suggest a lot of White House confidence in the outcome. "McConnell's trying to achieve a 50-vote Venn diagram between some very competing factions," said Rodney Whitlock, a veteran health policy expert who worked as a Senate GOP aide during passage of the Democrats' Affordable Care Act. "So what the president tweeted takes one side of that Venn diagram and pushes it further away, and actually puts on the table an option that will probably drive that group away from seeking compromise with the other side of the Venn diagram." A McConnell spokesman declined to comment on Trump's tweet. Even before Trump was inaugurated in January, Republicans had debated and ultimately discarded the idea of repealing Obamacare before replacing it, concluding that both must happen simultaneously. Doing otherwise would invite accusations that Republicans were simply tossing people off coverage and would [http://Search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=roil%20insurance roil insurance] markets by raising the question of whether, when and how Congress might replace Obama's law once it was gone. The idea also would leave unresolved the quandary lawmakers are struggling with now, about how to replace Obama's system of online insurance markets, tax subsidies and an expanded Medicaid with something that could get enough Republican votes to pass Congress. House Republicans barely passed their version of an Obamacare replacement bill in May, and the task is proving even tougher in the Senate, where McConnell has almost no margin for error. Moderates were spooked as the week began with a Congressional Budget Office finding that McConnell's draft bill would result in 22 million people losing insurance over the next decade, only 1 million fewer than under the House-passed legislation which Trump privately told senators was "mean." But conservatives continue to insist that the bill must go further than just repealing some of the mandates and taxes in Obama's law. "It's distressing to see so many Republicans who've lied about their commitment to repeal," Ken Cuccinelli, president of the Senate Conservatives Fund, said in a conference call on Friday. Underscoring the fissures within the GOP, conservative group leaders on the conference call welcomed Trump's suggestion but said it didn't go far enough because it could open the door to a subsequent bipartisan compromise to replace Obama's law. At the same time, a key House Republican, Rep. Kevin Brady who chairs the Ways and Means Committee, [http://Photobucket.com/images/rejected%20Trump%27s rejected Trump's] suggestion, contending that it "doesn't achieve what President Trump set out to do." "I really think the Senate's approach - certainly in the House - of not simply repealing but to start to put into place the elements that can make health care affordable, that's what the president set out to do," Brady said in an interview on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" program.
