A new lawsuit accuses several of the world’s largest technology firms of knowingly profiting from children laboring under brutal conditions in African cobalt mines. The suit, filed this week in Washington by the nongovernmental organization International Rights Advocates, seeks damages from Apple, Dell, Microsoft, Tesla and Alphabet, the parent company of Google.Cobalt is an essential element in the rechargeable lithium batteries that fuel many electronic devices. The rise of smartphones in the past 20 years has created a large demand for the metal, and the growing popularity of electric cars is expected to further increase demand.The lawsuit claims the companies are “aiding and abetting the cruel and brutal use of young children” in cobalt mines in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The lawsuit targets a pair of mining companies, the British-based firm Glencore and the Chinese company Zhejiang Huayou Cobalt, which it says supply cobalt to all the defendants. The suit is filed on behalf of 13 anonymous plaintiffs, all families with children who died or suffered serious injury while mining cobalt. The suit claims that the cobalt boom “brought on a new wave of brutal exploitation” for the DRC, which has a bloody colonial history and was once considered the personal property of Belgium’s King Leopold II. It says hundreds of Congolese children have been forced by extreme poverty to work in the cobalt mines, digging in underground tunnels with primitive equipment for as little as per day. A statement from Apple said the company is “deeply committed to the responsible sourcing of materials that go into our products.” It says the company “removed” six cobalt refiners from its supply chain in 2019 for being unable to meet Apple’s safety standards. A Dell statement says the allegations in the lawsuit are being investigated and declares that the company has “never knowingly sourced operations using any form of involuntary labor, fraudulent recruiting practices or child labor.”A Google statement says, “Child labor and endangerment is unacceptable and our Supplier Code of Conduct strictly prohibits this activity.”The other companies named in the lawsuit did not immediately respond to a request for comment. 2247

A new study shows that women who take birth control pills are less likely to develop the most aggressive types of ovarian cancer. "Among those who used the birth control pills, there were 46 percent lower odds of being diagnosed with ovarian cancer that resulted in death within 12 months of the diagnosis," Jennifer Mongiovi, a PhD student at the University at Buffalo and one of the authors of the study, said.The research also found over a five year period birth control pills reduced the likelihood fatal ovarian cancer by 32 percent. "By taking birth control pills, you can stop as much damage being done to your ovaries from your ovulation, and essentially lower your risk of future damage, such as cancer," Mongiovi said.However, researchers said that before you go out and buy birth control pills, you should consult with your doctor about your medical history and what is appropriate given your circumstances."With anything there are trade offs on both sides. Birth control is a hormone so you are potentially putting yourself at a greater risk of breast cancer. So that's something you definitely need to review your medical history. What essentially is the biggest risk to you," Mongiovi said.The research was conducted at Roswell Park. 1259

touch the victim against her will by placing his right arm around her shoulders and reaching down" to grope her breast, according to the affidavit.The groping was "witnessed by co-workers who provided statements that were consistent with the victim's statement," the arrest report says.In addition, "when the defendant left the room the victim began shaking and crying," according to the affidavit.A Disney photographer, who was one of the witnesses to the incident, provided photos to investigators that helped police identify and track down Sherman.The Orange County Sheriff's Office is asking anyone who may have also been inappropriately touched by Sherman to contact them at 407-836-4357. 1249

Amazon, facing increased competition from traditional retailers, has expanded free next-day delivery for more than ten million products for Prime members.Starting Monday, the offer is available "coast to coast" in the United States with no minimum purchase, the company announced."The most popular one-day items range from books, beauty and baby wipes to devices, dish detergent and doggie bags," the company said in a press release. Amazon said it "will keep adding more selection and expanding our delivery areas to ensure Prime members get their products faster than ever."Amazon has for years set the bar for online shopping convenience by offering free two-day shipping, and other retail giants have raced to catch up.The company in April announced it would spend 0 million to cut that delivery window in half.Amazon has built up a massive shipping network in the United States that includes more than 100 fulfillment centers, 100 delivery stations, and a fleet of Amazon Air cargo planes.Prime customers, who pay 9 a year for a membership, can already get free same-day shipping in some areas. And Amazon's Prime Now platform, available in most major cities, offers delivery within hours for certain products.Not everyone is pleased with Amazon's plans for speedier shipping.The increased workload that comes with fulfilling orders in one day could be dangerous for Amazon's warehouse employees, according to Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union. An Amazon executive accused him of spreading "falsehoods."Stock prices of traditional retailers, including Walmart and Target, took a hit when Amazon promised to step up its shipping game. Wall Street fears Amazon's competitors will further squeeze their already tight bottom lines trying to speed up their own deliveries.Walmart took the plunge anyway: Last month the company said it will roll out next-day delivery in 75% of the United States this year, a move that could cost as much as 5 million, according to one analyst estimate. Walmart said it can handle the load with its own network of fulfillment centers and 4,700 US stores. 2153
