QS USA University Rankings 2021

LONDON, May 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Offering unique insight into diversity drives, research excellence, and employability enhancement, QS Quacquarelli Symonds – recognized internationally for their QS World University Rankings portfolio – released their second annual list of America’s top universities. Harvard University remains the national number-one.

The focus on Diversity provides students with information about which universities are doing most to reduce sectoral gender and racial inequities. The Diversity indicator is jointly led by the University of California Davis – last year’s number-one – and New York University.

Only six of the top-20 universities also achieve a top-20 score for Diversity & Internationalization.
Among the Top-100, the institutions with the highest student ethnic diversity are UC Riverside, UC Irvine, and University of Hawaii at Manoa
All bar one of the top-10 for Student Ethnicity Mix is a public university, indicating that public universities are meeting their social obligations to increase diversity.
Among the Top-100, the institutions with the highest proportion of female staff are liberal arts colleges – Barnard College and Wellesley College, with over 60% female academic staff.
Some of America’s top research institutions perform less strongly when gender diversity is examined. MIT, scoring third for Research, has only 28% female staff, and Stanford (second for research) only records 35% of its staff as female.
QS’s data shows that tech-focused institutions still lag behind their peers in terms of widening female workforce participation. Among the ranking’s top 100, the institutions with the lowest ratio of female to male staff are Caltech, New Jersey Institute of Technology, Rensselaer Institute of Technology, and MIT.

The QS USA University Rankings also prioritizes employability and teaching quality as key lenses through which to assess institutional performance.

Jack Moran, QS Spokesperson, said: “While the overall QS World University Rankings continue to command record levels of interest, we know that the American higher education sector is wrestling with questions that do not fall within the scope of our global rankings – questions of equity, access, representation, and social justice. The QS USA University Rankings have been carefully crafted to shine some independent light on which institutions are doing most to foster the essential relationship between education and social change.”

Tech company ReturnQueen, expands its services to Miami, Fla.

May 4, 2021

MIAMI, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — ReturnQueen, the exclusive shopping return service app, is rapidly expanding in the U.S. Their newest location officially launches today in Miami, Fla. In addition to the software company’s corporate headquarters in the NY Metro area, and recent launches in Charlotte, Tampa, Nashville, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill/Cary, and Austin, this seventh location grows the company footprint to a total of 4,506 zip codes nationwide.

Miami is typically known for its beaches, warm weather, great food, diverse culture and being one of the most vibrant and entertaining cities in the U.S. The business boom is really starting to take shape, specifically during 2020, with the onset of a global pandemic, remote work, and the yearning of a “normalcy”. It has been a remarkable year for Miami, mainly due to unexpected market shifts in real estate. The absence of a state income tax along with a “business first” mindset has prompted prominent hedge fund billionaires to relocate their respective businesses to Florida. The relocation from Silicon Valley and New York City to Florida is already in motion, as the pandemic acted as an accelerator for individuals, companies, families, and small business owners who were already thinking of making the move. “Florida has taken an “open for business” approach to daily life and we believe that our concierge service needs to be at the forefront of people who are yearning for solutions and convenience,” says Melissa Sprich, VP of Growth.

About ReturnQueen
ReturnQueen, an on-demand service that picks up, processes, and sends back all your shopping returns. This contactless service was created to be the solution to the biggest pain points in the shopping cycle including, printing labels, packaging items, waiting in line, driving to the post office and handling receipts. This unique app allows users to view all their online purchases at a glance and choose which items they want to return. You can return as many items as you can fit into the return bag, provided by ReturnQueen. Membership options will be available to serve different customer needs.

ReturnQueen is currently operational in 4,506 zip codes across NJ, NY, NC, TN, TX, and Fla. Immediate plans to expand to Atlanta, Dallas, Boston, and Chicago within the next 30 days. Their goal is to make this service quickly available throughout the U.S.

TORRANCE, Calif., May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The all-new 2022 Acura MDX has earned the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). The MDX qualified for TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) by earning a top rating of “GOOD” in all crashworthiness tests, a “SUPERIOR” rating for the Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), part of the standard AcuraWatch™ safety and driver-assistive technology and standard “GOOD” rated headlights.

All Acura sedans and SUVs feature the AcuraWatch™ suite of safety and driver-assistive technologies as standard equipment, including Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Adaptive Cruise Control with Low-Speed Follow and Road Departure Mitigation.

Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) Investor Seeks Up to $5M in Damages from Hancock Whitney Investment Services

May 4, 2021

Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP. (PRNewsFoto/Shepherd Smith Edwards & Kantas LLP)

HOUSTON, May 4, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — In his Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) arbitration claim against Hancock Whitney Investment Services, Inc., a senior investor in Central America is seeking up to $5M in damages. The senior investor suffered losses when he invested $1.25M in Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) at the recommendation of Hancock Whitney Investment Services broker, Robin Platt.

The claimant, a longtime Hancock Whitney Bank client, had mostly invested in bank products and kept his money in checking/savings accounts. In 2016, Platt recommended the Bermuda-based investment, which would go on to make up the majority of the retiree’s portfolio.

Our Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) broker fraud attorneys at Shepherd Smith Edwards and Kantas (SSEK Law Firm at investorlawyers.com) are representing this investor in his FINRA arbitration claim against Hancock Whitney Investment Services.

It is important to note that generally a variable annuity (VA) is considered a safe, fixed income alternative. However, this Bermuda-based product did not provide the same protections as US-based variable annuities, which made it a riskier proposition.

This VA, specifically, was highly unsuitable for him given his age and risk tolerance level. Now, after losing his entire principal, this claimant is alleging unsuitability, misrepresentations and omissions, negligence, failure to supervise, breach of contract, and breach of other duties after suffering significant investment losses.

Platt and other Hancock Whitney Investment Services registered representatives likely recommended and sold Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) to other customers due to the fact that these investments paid:

Higher commissions
Bonuses
Remunerations

Along with other kinds of incentives to brokers that were more than what they would have earned from recommending more conventional bank/annuity products.

Unfortunately, Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) is no longer solvent and its owner, Greg Lindberg is in prison. After filing for bankruptcy protection last year, Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) must liquidate.

SSEK Law Firm is representing a number of them in their FINRA arbitration cases against their broker-dealers, including a $500K customer dispute against J.P. Morgan Securities and another $500K investor claim against Truist Investment Services.

There are also other broker-dealers that sold Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda), including Bankoh Investment Services and Ocean Financial Services.

Contact us today if you believe that you suffered losses after investing in Northstar Financial Services (Bermuda) products.
