Businesses must promote diversity – not just because it's good for the bottom line | Tim Ryan
Too many of America’s workplaces are not representative of our communities. In a divided country, we have a duty to advance diversity and inclusion
We’re living in a country of growing division and tension, and it’s having an impact at work. But it’s often the case that when we walk into the office – where we spend the majority of our time – we don’t address these issues.
And yet there’s so much to talk about – from growing societal inequality and America’s racial divide to single-digit minority representation in corporate America. (Just 1% of the nation’s Fortune 500 CEOs are black, only 4% are women, and even fewer are openly gay).

Businesses open with coronavirus safety precautions enforced
New rules, no problem. At least, that’s the case for a Henderson cafe preparing to host customers for the first time in nearly two months. Magnolia Magat already was set on implementing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-driven changes to her Truffles N’ Bacon Cafe, 8872 S. Eastern Ave., before the governor told her what she must to do open her business on Saturday. If she doesn’t comply with mandated social distancing, face coverings for her employees and limiting occupancy, she is at risk of a verbal warning, citation and business license suspension. But that likely won’t concern Magat, whose measures for her own cafe will be more stringent than those...

Busemann functions and semi-infinite O’Connell–Yor polymers
Tom Alberts, Firas Rassoul-Agha, Mackenzie Simper.
Source: Bernoulli, Volume 26, Number 3, 1927--1955.
Abstract:
We prove that given any fixed asymptotic velocity, the finite length O’Connell–Yor polymer has an infinite length limit satisfying the law of large numbers with this velocity. By a Markovian property of the quenched polymer this reduces to showing the existence of Busemann functions : almost sure limits of ratios of random point-to-point partition functions. The key ingredients are the Burke property of the O’Connell–Yor polymer and a comparison lemma for the ratios of partition functions. We also show the existence of infinite length limits in the Brownian last passage percolation model.
