From Fields to Factories: How Petrochemical Giants Shaped Modern Agriculture
FREE Catholic Classes
The development of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides in the 20th century revolutionized modern agriculture, reshaping global food production and establishing the groundwork for industrial farming.

Keywords: Agriculture, industrialization, modern agriculture
At the heart of this transformation was the petrochemical industry, which played a key role in producing and marketing these chemical innovations that would come to dominate the agricultural landscape.
The Rise of Synthetic Fertilizers
Synthetic fertilizers emerged in the early 20th century as a solution to the growing demand for food production. One of the most significant breakthroughs came with the development of the Haber-Bosch process in the early 1900s. This process, which converts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, allowed for the large-scale production of nitrogen-based fertilizers, which became essential for boosting crop yields.
Before synthetic fertilizers, farming relied on organic sources of nitrogen, such as manure and crop rotation, which limited productivity. The introduction of synthetic nitrogen fertilizers changed this dynamic, enabling farmers to grow crops in greater quantities without depleting the soil's nutrients. This shift was particularly important for the production of staple crops like wheat, corn, and rice.
Petrochemical companies, such as DuPont and BASF, became central players in the fertilizer industry. Using natural gas as a feedstock, these companies mass-produced ammonia and other nitrogen-rich compounds, making synthetic fertilizers widely available to farmers. This led to an explosion in agricultural productivity, a key component of the Green Revolution that swept across the world in the mid-20th century.
The Introduction of Chemical Pesticides
At the same time, chemical pesticides were being developed to combat pests that threatened crop yields. The widespread use of DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) during and after World War II marked a significant milestone in pest control. Initially used to combat diseases like malaria, DDT was later applied to crops as a pesticide. Its effectiveness in killing insects made it a popular choice for farmers, further boosting productivity.
However, the environmental and health risks associated with DDT became apparent by the 1960s, thanks in part to Rachel Carson's landmark book, Silent Spring. The book highlighted the devastating effects of chemical pesticides on ecosystems, leading to growing public concern about their safety. By the 1970s, DDT was banned in many countries, though other chemical pesticides remained widely used.
Petrochemical giants such as Monsanto, Dow Chemical, and Shell were instrumental in the development of a wide range of chemical pesticides. These companies leveraged their expertise in chemistry to produce compounds designed to kill pests, weeds, and fungi, helping farmers protect their crops from various threats. Despite the benefits, the heavy use of chemical pesticides led to several problems, including pesticide resistance in pests and environmental degradation.
The Role of Petrochemical Companies
The petrochemical industry's involvement in agriculture was not limited to production alone; companies like Monsanto and DuPont heavily promoted synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides to farmers as essential tools for modern agriculture. This marketing, combined with government support and subsidies, encouraged widespread adoption of these products, creating a dependence on chemical inputs in farming systems.
Over time, these petrochemical companies became some of the most influential players in agriculture, dominating both the production of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. The relationship between farming and the petrochemical industry cemented industrial agriculture as the dominant model, one that relies on external inputs to achieve high levels of productivity.
Environmental and Health Concerns
While synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides helped boost food production, their long-term effects on the environment and human health are now the subject of significant concern. Over-reliance on synthetic fertilizers has led to soil degradation and water pollution, with nitrogen runoff contributing to the creation of dead zones in bodies of water like the Gulf of Mexico.
Similarly, chemical pesticides have caused harm to ecosystems by killing beneficial insects, contaminating soil and water, and disrupting biodiversity. Health risks associated with pesticide exposure, including cancer and neurological disorders, have also been widely documented, prompting calls for more sustainable agricultural practices.
The development of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, driven largely by the petrochemical industry, transformed agriculture by boosting crop yields and making large-scale food production possible. However, the environmental and health costs of this industrial approach are prompting renewed interest in sustainable farming practices that prioritize ecological balance over chemical dependency. The challenge ahead lies in balancing productivity with environmental stewardship to create a food system that is both efficient and sustainable.

Apple TV+ is running full speed ahead on Slow Horses: The Emmy-winning spy drama has been renewed for a sixth season.
The show that stars Gary Oldman as the leader of a group of dysfunctional British spies — unaffectionately known as the Slow Horses — just had its fourth season premiere on Sept. 4. It was renewed for a fifth season earlier this year.
"Audiences around the world have fallen in love with the Slow Horses, and I'm delighted that Gary Oldman will be leading this star-studded cast on another acerbic and action-packed adventure," said Apple TV+'s Jay Hunt.
Season six is adapted from Joe Country and Slough House, respectively the sixth and seventh novels in Mick Herron's "Slough House" book series.
All four seasons of Slow Horses hold a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, the streamer points out.
The six-episode sixth season will see "the Slow Horses on the run as Diana Taverner embroils them all in a fatally high-stakes game of retaliation and revenge," Apple teases.

Business Doesn't Need to be Cutthroat — Embrace This Mindset and Watch Your Business Thrive When it comes to business, are you ruthless like a wolf or nurturing like water? Consider embracing the "way of water" to achieve more sustainable results.
By Diane Wang Edited by Micah Zimmerman
Key Takeaways
- Success thrives on collaboration, not competition, for sustainable business growth.
- The "Way of Water" promotes collective flourishing over zero-sum competition.
- Building for good fosters long-term sustainability and mutual growth, not just scale.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
It often seems like the only path to success is through ruthless competition. Entrepreneurs are frequently warned about the so-called "wolf culture," where the primary focus is on fierce competition and self-interest. This mindset fosters an environment where success is seen as incompatible with compassion and where many believe that to win, others must lose. But is this the only way to succeed in business?
At The Inner Mountain Foundation, we believe there is a different path that draws inspiration from the quiet strength and adaptability of water. Unlike the prevalent "wolf culture," which embraces a zero-sum game, our approach advocates for a culture of serving others, where success is measured not by the defeat of competitors but by the collective flourishing of all involved.

The 'Way of the Wolf' vs. the 'Way of Water'
To illustrate these two contrasting approaches, I often use the metaphors of wolves and water. The way of the wolf is about striving to be the sole victor, where success is achieved at the expense of others. This cutthroat mentality, encapsulated by the notion of "your loss is my gain," creates an environment where businesses compete fiercely, often leading to short-term wins but long-term instability.
However, this relentless competition comes at a cost. When businesses focus on outmaneuvering each other, they create an unsustainable environment where success is fleeting and built on the suffering of others. There is always a bigger wolf, ready to take down the one before it, perpetuating a cycle of conflict and instability.
In contrast, the way of water offers a more sustainable and fulfilling approach. Water — with its ability to adapt, nourish and support life — embodies qualities that can transform the business landscape. By embracing the way of water, we focus on building environments that foster collective growth and are where every participant can thrive without undermining others.
A real-world example
Consider a simple example: a gas station opens on a busy street corner, drawing in customers and thriving. A wolf-like entrepreneur might see this success and open a competing gas station across the road, hoping to capture the market. Soon, other gas stations follow suit, leading to fierce competition. Eventually, only the largest gas station will remain, but the street will lose its vitality as businesses focus solely on out-competing each other.
Now, imagine if, instead of another gas station, a different entrepreneur opened a coffee shop next to the original station. This addition attracts even more people to the area, who now stop for both gas and coffee. Inspired by this success, others open a grocery store, a boutique and perhaps even a small playground. The street transforms into a thriving ecosystem where each business supports the others, creating a vibrant community that benefits everyone involved.

The 'Way of Water' in practice
The principles of the way of water are not just theoretical—they can be applied to every aspect of your business. For example, at DHGATE Group, we have upheld these values since our founding 20 years ago, empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and entrepreneurs to participate in global trade. By creating value for all stakeholders rather than simply maximizing our gains, we have built a sustainable business model that benefits our partners and customers.
These values also lie at the heart of The Inner Mountain Foundation, an international women's empowerment organization I founded last year. Our community is built on nurturing, support and collective growth principles — much like the ecosystem in the gas station example. We focus on giving our members the resources to grow, give back and create a sustainable, mutually beneficial environment.
Building for good, not for scale
At its core, the way of water is about building for good, not just for scale. It's about creating a business culture prioritizing well-being, collaboration and long-term sustainability over short-term gains. When we nurture others, we receive nourishment in return, creating a cycle of growth and flourishing that benefits everyone involved.
As founders and leaders, we must embrace sustainable business practices. The way of water offers an ethical and enduring solution to the challenges we face in the business world. By adopting this approach, we can contribute to a more sustainable global society where success is defined not by the downfall of others but by the collective flourishing of all.
The way of water is not just a metaphor — it is a guiding principle that can transform how we do business, leading to more sustainable and fulfilling outcomes for all.

While the complaint stated Hindus and Muslims in the jurisdiction of Kadaba police station are living in great harmony, Hyder Ali CM alleged that these persons who have shouted ‘Jai Sriram’ are creating a rift between the communities.
Following the complaint, Keerthan Kumar and NM Sachin Kumar -- Resident of Bileneli village of Kadaba taluk in Dakshina Kannada -- were booked for offence punishable under IPC sections 447, 295A 505 and 506.
The accused men approached the High Court and contended that none of the ingredients that are necessary for these allegations are present in the case.
The advocate, representing the accused men, submitted that the offence, at the outset, is under IPC section 447 (criminal trespass), however the Masjid being a public place the entry into it cannot mean a criminal trespass.
On the other hand, the government advocate submitted that the petitioners cannot shout ‘Jai Sriram’ at the Masjid and or threaten the Mutawalli (who manages the mosque).
The court, however, cited the Apex Court decision in MS Dhoni vs Yerraguntla Shyamsundar case and said the acts that have no effect on bringing out peace or destruction of public order will not lead to an offence under IPC section 295A.
“It is ununderstandable as to how if someone shouts ‘Jai Sriram’ it would outrage the religious feeling of any class. When the complainant himself states that Hindu – Muslims are living in harmony in the area the incident by no stretch of imagination can result in antimony,” Justice Nagaprasanna said.
The court further said, “The complaint itself narrates that the complainant has not even seen the one who is alleged to have committed offence of criminal intimidation attracting ingredients of Section 506 of the IPC. The complaint nowhere even remotely touches upon the ingredients of Section 503 or Section 447 of the IPC. Finding no ingredients of any of the offences so alleged, permitting further proceedings against these petitioners would become an abuse of the process of law and result in miscarriage of justice.”

Samuel L. Jackson is ringing in three decades of Pulp Fiction with a callback to a classic scene.
In an Instagram post on Monday to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of the cult classic film’s release, Jackson ripped through the Pulp Fiction version of the Bible verse Ezekiel 25:17, the now-famous verse which gained widespread attention from fans of the Quentin Tarantino movie.
In the movie, Jackson delivers the now-famous passage as hitman Jules Winnfield, moments before he kills a thieving associate (Frank Whaley).
“YOU KNOW I STILL GOT IT!!! EZEKIEL 25:17,” Jackson captioned. “HAPPY 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF PULP FICTION.”
The Pulp Fiction actor runs through the verse quickly, while hitting small bursts of emotion during the monologue’s peak moments, including the famous “furious anger” section.
At the end of the film, Jackson recites the verse again, explaining that following a spiritual reawakening, he finds a different meaning.
1994’s Pulp Fiction is one of Tarantino’s most iconic films, the screenplay of which netted him and Roger Avary an Academy Award. The quotable crime drama film also starred Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames, among others.
The movie hit theaters Oct. 14, 1994, and has collected $212,891,598 in worldwide all-time box office, according to The Numbers.
By the way, in the Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 exists, but Tarantino rewrote it for the movie.
However, the “Ezekiel speech” was etched in pop culture history — in fact, it was literally etched in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: It can be seen on the headstone of the fake gravesite of Jackson’s Nick Fury at the end of Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

‘Everyone was screaming, I was crying…’ Dino discovery digs up emotions for Children’s Museum team
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — On the list of memorable moments in Laura Rooney’s career, a recent discovery wins by a nose. Or, more accurately, a snout.
This summer, while at a dig site in Wyoming, Rooney and the team from the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis uncovered an almost fully intact Allosaurus snout.
“Everyone was screaming, I was crying, and it was the most exciting thing I’ve ever witnessed — knowing that we found something in better condition than anyone dreamed of,” Rooney shared in an announcement from the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.
Rooney is curator of paleontology for the museum and a critical part of a team tasked with finding and gently recovering dinosaurs.
The work is both tremendously time-consuming and ripe with unexpected moments of pure joy.
The museum team has experienced both over the last four years, as it works to locate and excavate pieces of an Allosaurus at the Jurassic Mile dig site in Wyoming.
Leaders say the work started in 2020 with the discovery of the legs and toes of the long-extinct animal, which shares several characteristics with the Tyrannosaurus Rex, but at a slightly more bantamweight and size. More years of work unearthed most of the rest of the skeleton, largely with the bones still where they would have been when the Allosaurus was alive.
“Finding an intact dinosaur is a sign its body was buried quickly after it died without being disturbed much by water, decay or scavengers,” said Rooney, in comments provided by the Museum.
The exceptional condition of the dinosaur would take another leap forward in the moment that drew such rich emotion from Rooney.
Cameras rolled for several heart-stopping moments as the team worked to keep a fossil-rich block of rock intact instead of seeing it slip and shatter into countless pieces.
“With a sound plan in place, we went for it, flipped the block over and you could see exactly what we had. The release of emotions was something I’ve never felt,” Rooney recalls.
According to museum leaders, the block was then moved to Indianapolis, for excavation of the lower jaw, the teeth, and the top of the skull. They describe it as the “final piece of the puzzle” of a more complete picture of how the dinosaur lived.
The leg block from the initial discovery is on display at the Children’s Museum Dinosphere exhibit.
Families inspired by the fossils have an opportunity to see the work in action with a visit to the Jurassic Mile dig site in Wyoming in 2025.

Ergonomic keyboards are plentiful but often rigid. A new company called NUIO has a pricey new keyboard that may be one of the most versatile Mac ergonomic keyboards yet.
Like its product, NUIO hasn't been on the scene long. Founded by brothers Greg and Tom Wilson—the latter a former product design executive for Apple—the company is launching an ecosystem focused on its new ergonomic keyboard.
The Flow is split and completely wireless; its USB-C port is for charging only. Ergonomic keyboards come in many shapes and sizes, and the Flow settled on a "3D Wave" format that's both curved and contoured, giving it a radial-like look. The keys are backlit and feature macOS markings; no Windows or Copilot key here. It also doesn't feature any unmarked keys for programming, though each half has a "space bar" key where your thumbs would rest.
The Flow Keyboard weighs just over a pound (a little over half a pound for each half) and includes a carrying case so you can take it with you, which is helpful if you find the MacBook's keyboard painful to use. Unfortunately, NUIO hasn't disclosed battery life yet, but the keyboard comes in seven colorways.
NUIO also announced optional accessories for the keyboard. You can add a matching trackpad, wrist guards, and two stands that help you angle the keyboard pieces comfortably. By itself, the Flow keyboard lays flat on a desk, but for better ergonomics, you want a tenting option. That's where the stands come into play.
NUIO also created a magnetic desk mat to secure all of the accessories. It's large enough to hold the Flow keyboard with the stands underneath, the wrist guards, and the trackpad between the keyboard halves.
The Flow keyboard system won't come cheap. Prices started at $399, and while NUIO didn't specify, that presumably doesn't include any accessories. The company also didn't provide pricing for the rest of the Flow system. Preorders open today, and shipping starts in December.

Expert comment on Pokemon Game breach
October 2024 by Matt Aldridge, Principal Solutions Consultant at OpenText Security Solutions
After Pokemon Game Freak cyber attack. While Game Freak has not acknowledged the leak of this game data, it did confirm that the personal information of its workforce, contractors, and former employees, including retirees and former business associates was stolen. The comments from Matt Aldridge, Principal Solutions Consultant, Opentext Cybersecurity :
“The gaming industry has been subject to a significant number of data leaks over the past two years. Typically the most targeted element of the games industry is its players because they have several qualities that criminals look for, including payment details and a tendency to re-use passwords across multiple sites.
In this case, the leaked information includes full names and company email addresses, which means they are likely open to phishing and targeted brute-forcing attacks. This data has been stolen with a view to selling them via specialised Hackers forums/marketplaces. As Game Freak is one of the largest games companies in the world, it is fortunate to have not had any player data compromised in the breach. It is also good to see that the company has already publicly announced it will be introducing stronger security measures to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
We reiterate the importance of having unique passwords for each service and enabling two-factor authentication whenever possible. Individuals should also remain vigilant in scrutinising the types of emails they receive – and this should be underpinned by cybersecurity technology such as email filtering and anti-malware protection.”

While the original Joker had been compared to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver, that film's acclaimed screenwriter Paul Schrader wasn't impressed with Todd Phillips' panned sequel, Joker: Folie à Deux.
In a chat in Interview magazine, Schrader said he got to the theater to see the movie, but "I saw about 10 or 15 minutes of it. I left, bought something, came back, saw another 10 minutes. That was enough."
He added, "It's a really bad musical."
When pressed for details, he had some choice words for Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, as well as their respective characters Joker/Arthur Fleck and Harley Quinn.
"I don't like either of those people," he sniffed.
"I don't like them as actors. I don't like them as characters. I don't like the whole thing. I mean, those are people who, if they came to your house, you'd slip out the back door."
The Oscar-nominated writer used to be a film critic, and it seems other critics agree with his review: Joker: Folie à Deux has a 33% from them on the aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.

Buying a Business? 3 Secrets to Master the Ownership Transition With Ease Owning a company is no small feat, especially if it's one you just purchased. Here's how to make the transition easy for you, your employees and your clients.
By Hilt Tatum IV Edited by Kara McIntyre
Key Takeaways
- Strategic ownership transition is crucial to avoid pitfalls and maintain business momentum.
- The first 90 days are key in establishing leadership, setting clear expectations and beginning cultural integration.
- Sustained success involves ongoing improvements, honoring company culture and continuous learning from employees and customers.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
As we round out our series on entrepreneurship through acquisition (ETA), let's talk about when the rubber meets the road: getting into the day-to-day running of your new business.
We've already discussed what ETA is and how to get started on the path to owning your own business, as well as where to begin looking and what to look for when buying a company. Now, you're ready to get your hands dirty and test your entrepreneurial grit at the helm of your new business.
The biggest hurdle in this process is ensuring a smooth ownership transition. When done strategically, this can alleviate numerous headaches and problems while keeping the business moving forward despite changes at the top.
Finally, once the transition is complete, I will offer guidance on what success in running your business could look like.
Related: Want to Start a Business? Consider Buying One Instead — Here's Why.
Prepping for day one
Before you get the keys to your new kingdom, you'll want to do a few things to prepare as your first day as owner approaches.
- Transition of power: What are your plans with the current owner, and what will the transition plan look like? It's critical to have that predetermined and agreed upon — legally, if necessary — so everything is mapped out to be smooth and seamless.
- Employee communications: Create a detailed communication plan with your new employees. Changes at the top make people nervous, so you'll want to keep in touch consistently to help them transition.
- Time mapping: How will you utilize your first 90 days to fully understand the business? The first three months of your transition will be crucial for you as a new owner. You need to know how to make that time as valuable as possible.
The first 90 days
In my experience, the first 90 days are the most challenging yet most critical part of the transition.
Before you step into the office on day one, you must have a firm plan for this time and closely adhere to it. Otherwise, things can go sideways quickly.
Your first order of business is to figure out what the previous owner's role will look like during this period. Most of the time, you want to transition them out over the first 90 days. It can be a delicate balancing act: You want to keep them around long enough to make the transition as smooth as possible, but not so long that they start to get in the way of change.
I see the latter happen all the time. Be sure you've set clear expectations with the previous owner on what you'd like their role to be during this time and how you plan to take the reins when the time comes.
This is also the time to start implementing your communication plan. Do so early and often to keep employees updated and reassured.
Be ready to ask questions and listen
The best thing you can do is come in as a new owner and listen.
If it's small enough, build relationships with each employee and stakeholder and ask them questions. Get to know them to understand what they want to see moving forward. How can you try to make this smooth and comfortable for them?
Combine all your findings with your own ideas to create a more formal and public transition plan. Once that's complete, share it with your team so everyone knows what to expect and feels their voices were heard.

After 90 days
You selected and purchased this business because it was strong and had a promising future. Now it's time to leave your mark on it.
Start implementing your ideas into short-term and long-term goals, ensuring your management teams clearly understand them and are on board. Continue your research, identifying potential areas for growth and innovation, even if they aren't addressed immediately. Even as you implement new changes, you should always be a student of your business and customers.
Improve operations
Before you bought the company, you had a good idea of which processes needed to be streamlined and which areas needed attention.
Now, it's time to highlight those areas and find ways to invest in new technologies and infrastructure upgrades that will allow you to make these necessary adjustments.
Don't forget the culture
It can be easy to get consumed by all the financial and technical details, and you let the business's heart and soul slip through the cracks. Never stop focusing on your people.
Always seize opportunities to reassure them that you want to build on what they helped start. Ensure the work environment is positive and fosters open communication and collaboration. One of the best ways to do this is by incorporating town hall meetings to address any concerns head-on, share your vision transparently and establish yourself as a leader.
When power shifts within a company, people are naturally concerned about how it will impact their jobs or whether things they have come to expect and appreciate will change drastically. Honoring certain traditions and respecting rituals that are meaningful to your employees, even if you could do without them, is essential.
Finally, one of the best things you can do is recognize employees for their efforts early and often. Don't heap disingenuous praise on people, but take the time to celebrate exemplary work, achievements and milestones.
Remember, your employees will be just as busy studying you and your leadership abilities as you are with their work ethic and productivity. Make sure you're leading by example and building rapport at every opportunity.

Final thoughts
To some entrepreneurs, taking someone else's business and making it theirs feels like cheating. They prefer to do it their way no matter what comes. That's entrepreneurial grit.
However, as this short series has shown, startup culture isn't the only way to build a business. Sometimes, the best companies — regardless of size — are the ones that were already built but needed someone with fresh ideas and a daring spirit to create something even better.

(NEW YORK) — Former President Donald Trump has again asked an appeals court to transfer his New York criminal hush money case to federal court, reigniting an effort to stall his sentencing or throw out his conviction on 34 felony courts.
In a filing on late Monday, Trump’s lawyers asked the New York-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit to reconsider a lower court’s September decision denying the former president’s attempt to remove the state case to federal court.
Defense lawyers argued in the filing that the jury in the case improperly saw evidence of Trump’s official acts as president which would have been protected by the Supreme Court’s July ruling on presidential immunity.
“This case presents complex first-impression issues relating to the Supremacy Clause, federal-officer removal, appearances of impropriety and conflicts in connection with an unprecedented and baseless prosecution of the leading candidate in the 2024 Presidential election, and the ability of future Presidents to serve the American people without fear of reprisal from hostile local officials,” lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove wrote in the 99-page filing.
Trump was found guilty in May on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in order to boost his electoral prospects in the 2016 presidential election.
In July, the Supreme Court ruled in a blockbuster decision that Trump is entitled to immunity from criminal prosecution for official acts undertaken while in office.
Criminal or civil cases against federal officials can be removed to federal court if the officials can prove the case centers on official conduct. When Trump sought to remove his hush money case to federal court in 2023 by arguing that the allegations related to his official acts as president, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied the move, writing that “hush money paid to an adult film star is not related to a President’s official acts.”
Judge Hellerstein then denied Trump’s request to reconsider his decision in September, as Trump was seeking to delay his sentencing, because the former president failed to show “good cause” for why the issue should be examined again.
“Nothing in the Supreme Court’s opinion affects my previous conclusion that the hush money payments were private, unofficial acts, outside the bounds of executive authority,” Judge Hellerstein wrote.
Trump is now appealing Hellerstein’s September decision, which defense lawyers argue relied on a “profoundly flawed analysis.”
Trump is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 26, after the New York judge overseeing the case, Juan Merchan, granted Trump’s request to delay sentencing until after the November election.
In their filing Monday, Trump’s lawyers also aired grievances about an alleged conflict of interest by Judge Merchan and political motivations of the prosecutors, writing that witnesses “concocted the type of false and implausible story President Trump’s political opponents wanted to hear.”
If the effort to remove the case to federal court is successful, it could give Trump the authority to kill the prosecution if he is elected to the presidency in November. Unlike his federal criminal cases, Trump is unable to direct the prosecution or pardon himself if the case remains in state court.
The removal attempt could also impact the timing of Trump’s Nov. 26 sentencing if the motion remains unresolved by then.
Separately, Judge Merchan is expected to issue a ruling on Trump’s effort to throw out the conviction based on presidential immunity by Nov. 12.

Activists protest outside Unilever head offices in Umhlanga
Updated | By Tamasha Khanyi
Multinational corporations need to lower their plastic pollution footprint across Africa.
That's the message environmental activists took with them to Unilever's head offices in Umhlanga on Tuesday.
The protest was led by Greenpeace Africa.
The group's Plastics Campaigner, Gerance Mutwol, says plastic production continues to wreak havoc in our oceans.
He says he hopes Unilever reduces its use of plastics.
READ: Home Affairs disciplines 31 officials in 3 months
"In 2023, they said they are going to cut plastic production by at least 50 per cent, but now in the new sustainability report are going cut plastic production by at least 30 per cent by 2026. This is not in line with what was promised before, and we hope that Unilever, being under the business coalition under the plastic treaty, is going to lobby."
On its website, Unilever says it's been working hard to create a circular economy for plastic packaging for a number of years, adding that it's learned that transformation takes time.
It says that, given the size of this challenge, it is using its innovation capabilities to find new, scalable solutions.

Google has signed a long-term deal to buy nuclear power from Kairos Power's upcoming small modular reactors (SMRs), the companies announced this week.
Kairos will build an unspecified number of SMRs to provide electricity to Google data centers, with the goal of adding 500 MW of electricity to US power grids. Google says the deal is important for powering AI tech, like its own Gemini. Kairos's SMRs use a low-pressure system with molten-salt cooling, which Google claims make it safer and cheaper to operate than other nuclear reactor types.
"Having an agreement for multiple deployments is important to accelerate the commercialization of advanced nuclear energy by demonstrating the technical and market viability of a solution critical to decarbonizing power grids while delivering much-needed energy generation and capacity," said Jeff Olson, Kairos Power Vice President, Business Development & Finance, in a statement.
Google presents nuclear energy as a "clean" alternative to carbon dioxide-producing options, like coal-burning plants. But that's not exactly the case. SMRs still produce various types of waste. In 2022, a Stanford-led research team found that SMRs specifically will "exacerbate" existing problems with radioactive nuclear waste. A report hosted on the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission's site details how Kairos reactors produce different types of waste, including radioactive waste, and explains how the company plans to manage said waste.
Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences journal also found that molten salt-cooled SMRs (as well sodium- and water-cooled SMRs) actually "increase the volume of nuclear waste in need of management and disposal by factors of 2 to 30" compared to other reactor types. All that said, some may still see the energy source as worth it despite these issues.
When it comes to AI, energy experts more broadly have previously shared their concerns with AI's sky-high power needs—and whether the US grid can play catch-up with demand. It takes time, often many years, to add new power sources like a new nuclear power plant to existing power grids due to existing regulations. But while new additions slowly join the grid, AI models from the likes of Microsoft, Meta, and Google are already using energy today.
As MIT researcher and director of the university’s Tata Center for Technology and Design Robert Stoner explained to PCMag earlier this year: "Utilities really don’t like adding renewable power plants to their systems. They stress them, they add a lot of peak current at times of the day that are not the same as they are if the system doesn’t have those sources. They resist, and they hum and they haw."
Stoner also offered a measured critique of energy deals where big tech firms promise to add new sources to the grid through power purchase agreements (PPAs), like that between Google and Kairos. "The problem with that is it’s not necessarily additional," Stoner told PCMag. "The companies can make themselves feel good by entering into these sorts of arrangements, [but] they’re really just consuming renewable energy that others would happily consume as well."

Quick Summary
Sonos has announced.a new flagship soundbar, as well as a replacement for its much-loved Sub subwoofer.
The Sonos Arc Ultra is sleeker, but still managed to cram 14 drivers into the thinner form factor. It'll be available from 29 October, priced at $999.
Sonos has unveiled a replacement to its four year-old Arc – which has been considered one of the best soundbars since its launch in 2020. The new model sports a sleeker build and several big upgrades.
Called Sonos Arc Ultra, it is the company's new flagship all-in-one home cinema solution, which comes with the company's proprietary Sound Motion transducer technology to pack a staggering 14 driver units into the thinner form factor.
Sound Motion effectively reduces the size of the transducers, while also enabling larger sound from smaller components, so allows for tidier aesthetics without impacting performance. The Arc Ultra is the first Sonos device to benefit.
Its 9.1.4 array is therefore capable of providing a full spatial audio experience, whether that be Dolby Atmos or another technology, such as Apple's own multi-channel format. There is new centre channel architecture too, in comparison with its predecessor, which maximises vocal clarity. And with Trueplay tuning available (as on other Sonos speakers), the bar should match your room no matter the size.
As with the previous Arc, this Sonos soundbar comes with on-board Amazon Alexa, or you can opt for the brand's own voice control. There are also touch controls on a dedicated ledge just behind the speaker system.
HDMI eARC is provided for connectivity and Bluetooth support is included if you just want to stream from your phone directly. An audio line-in input is present, too.
New Sonos Sub 4
As well as the bar, Sonos has launched a new version of its popular wireless Subwoofer – the Sonos Sub 4.
Upgrade to smarter living
Get the latest news, reviews, deals and buying guides on gorgeous tech, home and active products straight to your inbox.
It has been rebuilt "inside and out", with a similar aesthetic but a new matte finish and more sustainable form.
There is increased processing power and memory on board, as well as new Wi-Fi radios for better connectivity.
Both the Sonos Arc Ultra and Sub 4 will be avilable in white or black globally from 29 October 2024.
The Arc Ultra will be priced at $999 in the US, while the Sub 4 will be $799. We're still awaiting UK and Australian pricing details.

See where Notre Dame and IU are ranked in the women’s AP Top 25 preseason poll
(AP) — South Carolina is starting the season where it finished off last year — ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25 women’s college basketball poll.
The Gamecocks received 27 of the 30 first-place votes in the preseason rankings from a national media panel Tuesday. South Carolina returns four starters from the national championship team that went undefeated last year, capping off the historic season over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the title game.
UConn is No. 2, USC is No. 3 and Texas and UCLA round out the top five.
South Carolina has been No. 1 in the preseason poll four of the past five years. Last season, they started sixth in the preseason before moving up to No. 1 for the remainder of the year.
“We knew we’d have a target on our backs this season as the reigning champions and this preseason ranking just confirms that,” South Carolina coach Dawn Staley told the AP. “We appreciate the recognition, but I know our coaching staff and our team are more focused on what we see in the gym every day. And that’s every player working extremely hard to get better individually and as a team.”
UConn received two first-place votes. The Huskies have been ranked in the top 10 in the preseason poll for 30 straight years now. Geno Auriemma’s team went through major injury issues last year but the Huskies look to be healthy for the most part to start this season.
Third-ranked USC is led by phenomenal sophomore guard JuJu Watkins and the team added two talented transfers in Kiki Iriafen and Talia von Oelhoffen. The Trojans, who received the other first place vote, have their highest ranking in the preseason since the 1982 and 1983 squads were No. 1 in the opening poll both years.
Texas welcomes back Rori Harmon, who was sidelined for most of last season with an ACL injury. She and Madison Booker give the Longhorns a solid 1-2 punch on offense. UCLA added its own solid group of transfers to a strong team with Charlisse Leger-Walker and Timea Gardiner joining Lauren Betts and Kiki Rice.
Notre Dame, LSU, Iowa State, North Carolina State and Oklahoma rounded out the first 10 teams in the poll. It’s the second time in three seasons that the Cyclones have started this high in the preseason poll. The Sooners haven’t been ranked this high in the inaugural poll of the season since 2010 when they were also 10th.
Welcome back
No. 24 Alabama is making its first appearance in the rankings since the final poll of 1999. The Crimson Tide haven’t been in the preseason poll since 1998 (No. 9). The team has appeared in consecutive NCAA tournaments behind stars Sarah Ashlee Barker and Aaliyah Nye.
“We’re very thankful for the mention, but want to take care of each day,” Alabama coach Kristy Curry said. “We are excited this season about the group and the way we finished last season.”
End of an era
Stanford is unranked in the preseason for the first time since 1999. Hall of Fame Cardinal coach Tara VanDerveer retired in April and was replaced by longtime assistant Kate Paye. It had been the second-longest active preseason streak behind only UConn.
Conference supremacy
New conference additions Texas and Oklahoma give the SEC seven teams in the Top 25. Joining them are South Carolina, LSU, No. 20 Ole Miss, No. 22 Kentucky and Alabama. The ACC and Big Ten each have six ranked teams while the Big 12 has four. UConn and Creighton give the Big East two teams.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Derek Manky, Chief Security Strategist and VP of Global Threat Intelligence at Fortinet “As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, it's critical to recognize and understand the cyberthreats that may impact the integrity and trustworthiness of the election process and the welfare of the participating citizens. Cyber adversaries, including state-sponsored actors and hacktivist groups, are increasingly active leading up to major events like elections. Remaining vigilant and identifying and analyzing potential cyberthreats and vulnerabilities is crucial for preparing and safeguarding against the lures and targeted cyberattacks that could take advantage of a heightened moment in time and even disrupt or influence electoral outcomes.”
News Summary Fortinet ® (NASDAQ: FTNT), the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today released its FortiGuard Labs Threat Intelligence Report: Threat Actors Targeting the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election , which reveals and analyzes threats tied to U.S.-based entities, voters, and the electoral process. Key findings from the threat intelligence report include:
Scams Targeting the U.S. 2024 Presidential Election Flood the Darknet Cyber adversaries, including state-sponsored actors and hacktivist groups, are increasingly active in the lead-up to elections.
The FortiGuard Labs research team observed threat actors selling distinct phishing kits for $1,260 each, created to impersonate U.S. presidential candidates. These kits are designed to harvest personal information, including names, addresses, and credit card (donation) details.
Since January 2024, FortiGuard Labs researchers have also identified more than 1,000 newly registered domain names that incorporate election-related terms and references to prominent political figures. Fraudulent fundraising websites, including secure[.]actsblues[.]com, meant to imitate the legitimate site for ActBlue (secure[.]actblue[.]com), a nonprofit American fundraising platform and political action committee.
The top two most-used hosting providers for these election-themed websites are AMAZON-02 and CLOUDFLARENET. The reliance on major hosting platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cloudflare suggests that threat actors are leveraging these reputable services to enhance the legitimacy and resilience of their malicious domains.
A notable concentration of domains is associated with a limited number of IP addresses, indicating a centralized approach by threat actors to efficiently manage multiple malicious domains to execute large-scale cyber campaigns.
No Shortage of Personal Data Being Sold Aimed at the U.S. FortiGuard Labs analysis continues to show a significant number of diverse databases available on darknet forums targeting the U.S., including SSNs, usernames, email addresses, passwords, credit card data, date of birth, and other PII that could be used to challenge the integrity of the 2024 U.S. election. Specific highlights include:
The U.S. Government Is an Increasingly Attractive Target Ransomware attacks targeting government agencies before an election can impact the electoral process and public trust in government institutions. Compared to 2023, the FortiGuard Labs research team observed a 28% spike in ransomware attacks against the U.S. government in 2024.
The darknet has become a hub for U.S.-specific threats, where malicious actors trade sensitive information and can potentially develop strategies to exploit vulnerabilities. Approximately 3% of the posts on these forums involve databases related to business and government entities. These databases hold critical organizational data that is vulnerable to cyber exploits and are a prime target for threat actors as the elections come and go.
Recommendations to Prevent and Mitigate Cyberattacks this Election Season Cybersecurity measures are critical to safeguard the integrity of the U.S. 2024 presidential election. Following fundamental best practices can help prevent and mitigate the effects of cyber incidents. The full list of recommendations and best practices can be found in the report, but some key takeaways for citizens, business leaders, and election officials include:

Reborn Renault 4 Unveiled As Retro-Futuristic Electric Hatchback At Paris Motor Show 2024
Highlights
- 40kWh and 52kWh battery pack with 300 and 375kms of claimed range, respectively
- Two outputs to choose from – 120bhp/225Nm and 150bhp/245Nm
- Based on the “4ever Trophy Concept” from 2022
Renault 4 is back. For those outside the Old Continent who aren’t aware, the Renault 4 (or R4 in short and 4L, pronounced "Quatrelle", in French) was an economy car sold across 100 countries between 1961 and 1994. This Econo-hatch nameplate is returning in a much more modern yet retro-futuristic avatar at the 2024 Paris Motor Show.
Also Read: Dacia Bigster SUV Unveiled; Previews Three-Row Renault Duster
Now going by the name Renault 4 E-Tech, the reborn nameplate is all-electric and is slated to go into production next year. It takes the similar boxy cues of the original 4 but pays homage to its single-piece grille integrating the circular headlamps on either side. The Renault logo is now illuminated as seen on all recent show cars.
And at the rear, the vertical three-part tail lamps are retained yet redesigned with LED signature. Designers have also maintained the iconic rear-quarter window. Some of the design cues were first seen on the 4ever Trophy Concept showcased a couple of years ago at the same venue.
Also Read: 2024 Renault Captur Facelift Debuts With Comprehensive Redesign, New Features
In terms of dimension, the Renault 4 is bigger than the Renault 5 hatchback with a 4.14m length, a width of 1.8m and 1.57m height and an overall wheelbase of 2.62m. Although the black cladding all around gives it a rugged appeal, it has an electrically operated sliding canvas roof much similar to the original 4.
On the inside, the entire layout is carried over from the 5 with a modern 10-inch touchscreen as standard along with an all-digital driver’s display. The multimedia screen is based on Google services, so owners also benefit from maps, navigation, Play Store, and connectivity. In terms of modern features, there are advanced driver’s aids offered with the rugged hatchback as well. There’s also 420 litres of boot space apart from a 35-litre underfloor space for charging cable.
Initially, two powertrains are offered with the 4 in the markets it will go sale. Apart from the smaller 40kWh unit, there’s also a bigger 52kWh battery pack. The former has an output of 120bhp and 225Nm and a range of 300kms of claimed range. And the latter puts out 150bhp and 245Nm which can clock 0-100kmph in just 8.5 seconds. This one has a claimed range of 375 km. The 4 also have a one-pedal setup, V2L and V2G functionality, and a fast-charging support of 100kW for the bigger battery pack and 80kW for the smaller one.
The original Renault 4 in the 60’s only came with a grey paint job to keep the cost down for the 2CV rivalling affordability and ruggedness in rural usage. This newborn 4 has six paint options – white, grey, black, red, brown, and blue apart from dual-paint schemes. First deliveries are set to commence in the UK market by mid-2025.

The New York Jets just keep digging the hole deeper.
They put everything into one shot this season with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. They're 2-4, one of the most disappointing teams in the league. They have fired their coach, Robert Saleh, and in their first game without him they made a month's worth of mistakes and lost a big game to the Buffalo Bills.
If the Jets had won that game, Tuesday's trade for Davante Adams would have made more sense. Now it just seems like they're chasing losses.
The Jets sent a conditional third-round pick that can become a second to the Las Vegas Raiders for Adams. The whole Adams situation isn't the best look for the Raiders either, but we'll come back to that. For now it's the Jets, already all-in, reaching in their pocket to put more chips in the middle but with a bad hand.
There's a scenario in which this all works out for New York. But you have to tell a fairly unbelievable story to get there.
Jets' Davante Adams trade doesn't solve their issues
Adams essentially replaces Mike Williams as the Jets' No. 2 receiver, a few months after the Jets signed Williams to a $10 million deal as part of their veteran shopping spree. In a perfect world Adams is the All-Pro that Aaron Rodgers remembers from his Green Bay Packers days. In reality, he's a 32-year-old receiver whose numbers were way down last season — 1,516 yards and 15.2-yard average in 2022 to 1,144 and 11.1 in 2023 — and is joining a new team in midseason.
By the time Adams gets going in the Jets offense, if he ever does, it might be too late.
Adams could be a big help, giving the Jets a needed secondary option in the passing game after Garrett Wilson (though Allen Lazard has been quite productive) and it could help the Jets take off. But what's the real ceiling for this team?
The Jets are two games behind the Bills now, and the Bills have a road win over New York for tiebreaker purposes. if the Jets don't rally to overtake the Bills in the AFC East, the fight for a wild card spot might not be as tough as first anticipated due to down seasons from the Cincinnati Bengals and Miami Dolphins. Prudently, the Jets would have been better off looking toward what comes next rather than shipping off what might be a top 75 draft pick.
For this to all feel like a success, Adams would have to have a nearly immediate impact, reverse a troubling downward career trend, the 2-4 Jets would have to go about 8-3 to make the playoffs, then in the playoffs they would have to get on a hot streak against division winners who look way better than them right now. Maybe Jets fans would be happy with a playoff appearance and a one-and-done exit. It has been 14 years since they made it at all.
But even for that, the Jets would have to be a different team than they've shown the past six weeks. Adams doesn't fix all the issues with penalties, he won't make the offensive line better and he won't help kicker Greg Zuerlein out of his slump either.
Why didn't the Raiders trade Adams before?
The Raiders side makes more sense. They aren't paying any more of Adams' salary in the trade. That makes the dead cap hits a manageable $13.67 million this year and $15.7 million in 2025 according to Spotrac. It's a significant cap savings for a player that had a $44.1 million cap hit coming next season.
But the whole situation has been odd. The Raiders don't have many stars and Adams was a player who was front and center late last season in getting Antonio Pierce the permanent head coaching job. If the Raiders did want to move away from one of their only marketable stars just two years after a major trade for him, why not do it in March when his value would have been higher? Switching lanes three games into the season, when the Raiders aren't any better or worse than expected, makes it seem like Las Vegas doesn't have a plan. Getting a conditional third for Adams is fine but it's not transformative. At least there's more salary cap room for next season, although probably no enticing quarterback to spend it on.
Maybe it works out for everyone. The Jets make the playoffs with a new-look offense. The Raiders wisely use all that extra salary-cap space next offseason to take a big step in their never-ending rebuild. But at the moment, it's hard to find a clear winner to Tuesday's big trade.

Here at Zacks, we offer our members many different opportunities to take full advantage of the stock market, as well as how to invest in ways that lead to long-term success.
The Zacks Premium service makes this easier. It features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank; full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List; Equity Research reports; and Premium stock screens like the Earnings ESP filter. All of these can help you quickly identify what stocks to buy, what to sell, and what are today's hottest industries.
Also included in Zacks Premium is the Focus List. This is a long-term portfolio of top stocks that have all the traits to beat the market.
Breaking Down the Zacks Focus List
Building an investment portfolio from scratch can be difficult, so if you could, wouldn't you take a peek at a curated list of top stocks?
Enter the Zacks Focus List. It's a portfolio made up of 50 stocks that are set to beat the market over the next 12 months; each company selected serves as a foundation for long-term investors looking to create an individual portfolio.
What makes the Focus List even more helpful is that each selection is accompanied by a full Zacks Analyst Report, which explains the reasoning behind every stock's selection and why we believe it's a good pick for the long-term.
The portfolio's past performance only solidifies why investors should consider it as a starting point. For 2020, the Focus List gained 13.85% on an annualized basis compared to the S&P 500's return of 9.38%. Cumulatively, the portfolio has returned 2,519.23% while the S&P returned 854.95%. Returns are for the period of February 1, 1996 to March 31, 2021.
Focus List Methodology
When stocks are picked for the Focus List, it reflects our enduring reliance on the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Earnings estimates, or expectations of growth and profitability, come from brokerage analysts who track publicly traded companies; these analysts work together with company management to analyze every aspect that may affect future earnings, like interest rates, the economy, and sector and industry optimism.
Investors also need to look at what a company will earn down the road. This is why earnings estimate revisions are so important.
When a stock receives upward earnings estimate revisions, it will likely get even more positive changes in the future. For instance, if an analyst raised their earnings outlook last month, they'll probably do so again this month, and other analysts will follow.
Harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions is where the Zacks Rank comes in. The Zacks Rank is a unique, proprietary stock-rating model that utilizes changes to a company's quarterly earnings expectations to help investors build a winning portfolio.
The Zacks Rank consists of four main pillars: Agreement, Magnitude, Upside, and Surprise. Each one is given a raw score, which is recalculated every night and compiled into the Rank. Then, stocks are classified into five groups, ranging from "Strong Buy" to "Strong Sell," using this data.
The Focus List is comprised of stocks hand-picked from a long list of #1 (Strong Buy) or #2 (Buy) ranked companies, meaning that each new addition boasts a bullish earnings consensus among analysts.
Since stock prices respond to revisions, it can be very profitable to buy stocks with rising earnings estimates. By buying Focus List stocks, then, you're likely getting into companies whose future earnings estimates will be raised, potentially leading to price momentum.
Focus List Spotlight: American Express (AXP)
Founded in 1850, NY-based American Express Company is a diversified financial services company, offering charge and credit payment card products, and travel-related services worldwide. American Express and its main subsidiary – American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“TRS”) – are bank holding companies under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The company offers business travel-related services through its non-consolidated joint venture, American Express Global Business Travel (the GBT JV).
Since being added to the Focus List on December 23, 2021 at $162.47 per share, shares of AXP have increased 70.2% to $276.52. The stock is currently a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank.
Five analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2024, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $13.14. AXP also boasts an average earnings surprise of 7.7%.
Earnings for AXP are forecasted to see growth of 17.2% for the current fiscal year as well.

Android 15 is here and will roll out to Google Pixel devices starting today.
Previous developer documentation points to 2021's Pixel 6 series as the oldest model to support Android 15, which first surfaced in February as a developer preview. On non-Pixel devices, the mobile OS' arrival will depend on how quickly manufacturers enable it through updates to their own software. Historically, some of these companies have been awful at that.
Google today highlighted another reason to install Android 15: making sure your device stays your device. Its announcement leads off with security and privacy features that got prominent play at Google I/O. The biggest among them: A Private Space option lets you put sensitive apps behind biometric security, hide them from view until unlocked, and even hide that you're using the feature.
Other changes in Android 15 aim to thwart common theft tactics: Turning off Find My Device now requires your passcode or biometric authentication, while the factory-reset procedure now requires your device or Google credentials after a reset. Those who opted into securing their online accounts with passkeys—which we hope is most of you—will find a streamlined sign-in process.
Android 15 includes two interface refinements for foldable phones and tablets: the ability to pin or unpin a floating taskbar and the option to designate pairs of apps to open with one tap.
Like Android 14, Android 15 also folds in some less splashy features:
Upgraded support for satellite connectivity such as T-Mobile’s Starlink roaming and AST SpaceMobile’s upcoming broadband for AT&T and Verizon
Camera improvements such as an added “Low Light Boost” mode
PDF search, selection, and annotation tools
Additional controls for screen-sharing apps
Accessibility advances that include expanded support for third-party Braille displays
Pixel Drop Perks
Android 15 isn't the only option coming to Pixel owners, with an extra set of new tools and options for its devices via its latest in series of Pixel Drop releases.
Photographers may appreciate the integration of Night Sight mode in Instagram, easier access to Google’s astrophotography mode, and an underwater mode for Pixel 9 series phones. This drop also throws in a camera tool that doesn’t involve taking pictures: using the camera as a viewfinder for the nearby-temperature sensor on Pro phones in the Pixel 8 and 9 series.
Video editors with any phone in the 8 and 9 series get an Audio Magic Eraser to raise or lower the volume of certain sounds or speakers, although Google says this is only available "in limited markets" for the 9 series.
Pixel phones from the 7 series onward will gain an "adaptive vibration" option that uses the device’s microphone and other sensors to check the background level of noise nearby and adjust the vibration intensity accordingly.
As with earlier Pixel Drops, this one includes some features specific to the Pixel Watch series. This time, they include the ability to add tiles for individual contacts and reply to Gmail messages with emoji reactions.
A separate Google post covers one security upgrade coming to much older Android phones: worldwide availability of some theft-protection measures announced at Google I/O in May. Theft Detection Lock uses on-device AI to watch for signs of a theft in progress, such as the phone moving suddenly, to lock the screen automatically; Offline Device Lock auto-locks the device if it’s been offline for a while; Remote Lock lets you disable the phone without needing to remember your Google password.
These features are coming via Google Play Services updates that don’t require help from phone vendors. It can, therefore, reach considerably older devices going back to those running Android 10, which shipped over four years ago and ran on phones as old as the original, 2016-vintage Pixel.

Quick Summary
Samsung announced during its SDC 2024 event that it was going to start bringing its One UI interface to other devices, like TVs, joining its tablets, phones and smartwatches.
Despite that announcement having only just taken place, Samsung has started rolling out One UI to its compatible Smart TVs from 2023.
If you have a Samsung TV from 2023 or newer, you are in luck. The company announced during its Samsung Developer Conference 2024 that it was going to bring its One UI interface to TVs and despite the announcement having only just happened, that promise has now been fulfilled with the update having already started to roll out.
It's certainly better news than it has been for the company's latest phones, which are still waiting on a full update to Android 15 and the new One UI 7 update.
Samsung mentioned that update too during its SDC 2024 event, saying that while the beta would arrive soon, users of the latest Samsung phones, like the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6, would be waiting until the release of the next Galaxy phone for the full Android 15 update that will bring a redesigned and enhanced One UI interface with it.
Still, back to the Samsung TVs, of which the compatible models are said to get updates for seven years, as reported by Sammobile. The One UI update is based on the Tizen 8.0 operating system and it offers a new interface, a range of user interface improvements, Game Bar features and more.
If you have a Samsung phone, the One UI update to the TVs brings some familiar elements too, including the app icons for Bixby, Gallery, Samsung Internet and SmartThings matching what you will see on Samsung phones and tablets.
The settings overlay is also more compact, while pop-up menus for Bluetooth, Q-Symphony and Sound Output are all said to be more compact and modern overall.
Additionally, the One UI update brings a "For you" tab to the home screen with personalised recommendations and there's a "Watch Later" list too, which as 9to5Google points out, is similar to Google TV.
Upgrade to smarter living
Get the latest news, reviews, deals and buying guides on gorgeous tech, home and active products straight to your inbox.
If your Samsung TV is compatible you should get the option to update to the One UI interface. You can opt to "View Details", do the update "Later", "Upgrade Now" or "Upgrade While Off", depending on your preferences.

Why a Customer-Centric Approach Is Essential for Long-Term Success in Real Estate Discover how a service-oriented approach and attention to detail can drive long-term success in real estate and other industries.
By Ugo Arinzeh Edited by Chelsea Brown
Key Takeaways
- Adopting a customer-centric approach is essential for cultivating lasting client relationships and long-term success.
- A customer-centric mindset means seeing each client interaction as an opportunity to establish long-term trust and rapport rather than viewing each transaction as an isolated event.
- Paying attention to small details, like remembering clients' preferences and scheduling viewings at times that suit their needs, enhance the client experience and can differentiate agents in a competitive market.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
Success in real estate, and many other industries, is often determined by one key factor: customer service. While AI, technology and data analytics have become increasingly important, the human component remains the driving force behind long-term business success. Adopting a customer-centric approach is essential for cultivating lasting client relationships, while staying competitive.
The power of exceptional customer service
At the core of any successful real estate business is a commitment to exceptional customer service. Beyond just answering calls promptly or organizing smooth viewings, it's about truly understanding clients' deeper motivations and needs. Great agents don't just complete transactions; they build trust. In an industry where emotions and finances are often deeply intertwined, clients want to feel understood, respected and prioritized.
Exceptional customer service means consistently anticipating clients' needs and acting in their best interests. When clients feel cared for and valued, they're more likely to return for future transactions. They also become advocates who recommend your services to others. This is particularly important in an era when word-of-mouth referrals and personal recommendations carry significant weight. Studies have shown that personal referrals can be a key driver of business growth in real estate and other service industries.

Building long-term relationships, not just transactions
One of the biggest mistakes real estate professionals can make is to treat each transaction as an isolated event. While closing deals quickly may seem efficient, it can lead to missed opportunities for growth and relationship-building. A customer-centric mindset means seeing each client interaction as an opportunity to establish long-term trust and rapport.
This mindset shift transforms the relationship from a one-time transaction into a lasting partnership. For example, clients who are treated with care and attention are more likely to seek your services again when they're ready for their next property investment. Furthermore, understanding a client's long-term goals helps agents provide better, more tailored advice, leading to greater client satisfaction and loyalty.
In real estate, like in any customer-focused business, building relationships means going the extra mile — whether it's providing market insights long after a transaction has closed or offering ongoing support with property management. Clients who feel supported beyond the sale will return and refer new clients, expanding your network and creating new opportunities for success.
Attention to detail makes all the difference
The importance of attention to detail cannot be overstated. In real estate, small details, like remembering a client's specific design preferences or scheduling viewings at times that suit their needs, can make all the difference. Successful agents know that every client interaction is an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to delivering value and ensuring a seamless experience.
In many cases, it's the attention to detail that transforms a stressful process, like buying a home, into a positive and rewarding experience. This level of care helps differentiate customer-focused agents from their competitors and creates an emotional connection with clients, further deepening the relationship.
The business case for a service-oriented mindset
A customer-centric approach is a proven strategy for business growth. Research by PwC shows that 73% of consumers say customer experience is a critical factor in their purchasing decisions. This is especially true in the real estate industry, where both financial and emotional investments are significant. By prioritizing client experience, businesses differentiate themselves in the marketplace and position themselves for long-term success.
Putting people first leads to better outcomes for everyone. By delivering exceptional service, businesses can cultivate relationships that yield repeat business, generate valuable referrals and enhance their reputation. A strong focus on customer service ultimately leads to higher client satisfaction, which directly impacts revenue growth and brand loyalty.
Related: Good Customer Service is a Disappearing Art — Here's How You Can Be Different
Automation and data are becoming increasingly prevalent, yet human connection remains irreplaceable. The real estate industry, in particular, is built on relationships and trust. By focusing on exceptional customer service and prioritizing the needs of clients, professionals can build lasting partnerships that go beyond the scope of a single transaction.
Adopting a customer-centric approach in real estate, and in any industry, means recognizing that success isn't just about the numbers; it's about the people behind the transactions. When clients feel cared for and valued, they will return, refer others and contribute to the long-term growth and sustainability of your business.
By emphasizing a client-first approach, real estate and other industry professionals can create thriving businesses that deliver value and build lasting relationships, all while standing out in a competitive and tech-driven market.

- The motorcycle is expected to be a neo-retro roadster.
Royal Enfield is all set to unveil its maiden electric motorcycle at EICMA 2024 on November 4. While the motorcycle’s name is still under wraps, a teaser video from the brand has given us a glimpse into what the motorcycle will look like. The video clearly shows the upcoming offering’s silhouette, which appears to be identical to the motorcycle shown in patent images from Royal Enfield earlier this year.

The electric motorcycle will retain many of the old-school elements of the rest of RE's lineup
Visually, the electric motorcycle’s silhouette looks to be in line with a neo-retro roadster, with the old-school design elements being retained. The styling cues on the motorcycle include a round headlamp, alloy wheels, round mirrors a single seat, read end. Patent images have shown that the motorcycle will retain the classic teardrop-shaped fuel tank, which is featured on most of its motorcycles. The front forks have an interesting design, which seems to be a modern take on the classic girder fork design of motorcycles from a century ago. Another feature of the motorcycle will likely be the round TFT display, which is currently seen on motorcycles such as the Himalayan and Guerrilla 450.

The specifications of the electric motorcycle remain under wraps, although patent images show what looks like a chain or belt drive which transfers power to the rear wheel. Similar to the rest of Royal Enfield’s lineup, the braking setup will include disc brakes on both ends.
Royal Enfield showcased the ‘Him-E’ last year at EICMA 2023
Royal Enfield showcased the ‘Him-E’, essentially an electric Himalayan at EICMA 2023. The Him-E was described as an electric motorcycle test bed which RE uses to hone its upcoming EVs. In 2022, Royal Enfield also acquired a stake of more than 10 per cent in Spanish electric motocross bike company Stark Future, pointing towards a long-term collaboration between the two brands.
The upcoming Interceptor Bear 650 was recently leaked ahead of its debut at EICMA 2024. The Interceptor Bear will be a Scrambler, powered by the brand's fabled 648 cc air/oil-cooled parallel-twin mill.

At long last, the Davante Adams trade news finally dropped! The Raiders traded Davante Adams to the New York Jets on Tuesday morning, October 15.
BREAKING: The Raiders are trading Davante Adams to the Jets for a conditional 3rd round pick, per @RapSheet. pic.twitter.com/uOTbYbwjJ7
— Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) October 15, 2024
As many had suspected, he's headed to New York to reunite with his former quarterback, Aaron Rodgers — once again, wearing green, but this time for the Jets, as they look to get their 2-4 season back on track.
Let's take a look at what the news means for your fantasy football teams.
Garrett Wilson and Davante Adams both look like WR2's rest-of-season
There's no doubt that it's taken some time for Aaron Rodgers and Garrett Wilson to establish a greater rapport, but in Weeks 5 and 6, fantasy football managers have gotten a taste of what they're really capable of. Wilson has finished as a top-six fantasy receiver in each of those outings with 100+ receiving yards and a score, though he did it on the back of 33 total targets.
Obviously, Adams' presence will mean a decreased target share for Wilson. In each of the seasons that Aaron Rodgers started and finished with Adams in the lineup (2016, 2018-2021), Adams was targeted on no fewer than 19.5% of his routes per PFF. In fact, he recorded a 29.5% or higher target rate on routes run in three of those five seasons. Simply put, Rodgers looks for Adams early and often, which will likely limit the ceiling of both of these wideouts moving forward.
The good news for Wilson? Though he will certainly lose targets to Adams, it might be good news for the efficiency of the targets he does receive. Since being drafted in 2021, Wilson has seen 83 targets while double-teamed in coverage — the fourth-most among wide receivers in that span.
What Adams gains in this Jets offense is, of course, the quality of the targets he does receive. Over the past two seasons, Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell have ranked 27th or lower among the 35 QBs with 250+ attempts over the past two seasons in accurate throw rate, per PFF; that's translated to a low catchable target rate (70.6%) that ranks 62nd among 96 qualifying wide receivers.
What he loses in terms of "elite" target share, he'll probably make up for in the overall quality of targets, while also benefitting from some of the attention Wilson receives from opposing defenses. Remember that note about Wilson's high target rate against double teams in coverage? Adams doesn't rank too far behind him in that metric, having had 77 such targets in the same window (seventh-most).
TL;DR — Each of these elite wide receivers should be looked at as weekly WR2 options with top-five upside. They'll eat into each other's overall volume but they should each benefit tremendously in terms open target rate.
Allen Lazard will still probably be annoying for fantasy teams
Through the first six weeks of the season, Allen Lazard has been a thorn in the sides of fantasy managers thanks to a strong rapport with Rodgers. Lazard has accounted for the same number of end-zone targets (4) as Wilson in that span, reeling in two more touchdowns (albeit one on a Hail Mary) and just 45 fewer receiving yards.
Though Adams and Wilson are clearly the best wide receivers in this offense, Lazard will probably still have a role that does eat into some of the overall upside either of them pose individually. Lazard is clearly an integral part of Rodgers' inner circle of trust, and that is worth a lot. Though he undoubtedly takes the biggest hit from Adams' arrival, he's still likely to account for some work in the red zone at the very least, which can keep him in the mix as a weekly flex consideration in plus matchups.
Brock Bowers = Raiders biggest winner
Rookie tight end Brock Bowers has already dominated most conversations about the Raiders offense this year. Now, with Adams out of the mix for targets permanently, there's little doubt that, barring injury, Bowers will likely lead this team in targets, receiving yards and possibly receiving touchdowns (though how many of those will be scored this year is TBD).
Bowers currently leads all tight ends with 37 receptions and 384 receiving yards (the next highest totals being Trey McBride and George Kittle with 28 receptions and Dallas Goedert with 301 receiving yards). Given that most other "elite" tight end options are dealing with more competition for targets (Sam LaPorta with Amon-Ra St. Brown, McBride with Marvin Harrison Jr., Mark Andrews with Isaiah Likely), it seems like there may be no safer option at the position right now than Bowers.
Stay tuned for more fantasy impact of the massive Davante Adams trade

Home Affairs disciplines 31 officials in 3 months
Updated | By Bulletin and Jacaranda FM
Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber revealed on Tuesday that the department had finalised 31 disciplinary cases against officials between July and September this year.
The cases have resulted in a range of sanctions, including criminal prosecution, dismissal, suspension without pay and final written warnings.
In a statement, the minister said the actions reflect the department’s commitment to enforcing ethical governance and accelerating disciplinary and criminal sanctions against officials engaged in maladministration.
The officials faced transgressions relating to irregular recruitment, and violations of the Citizenship Act as well as the Immigration Act.
“While we are committed to empowering the many officials who uphold ethical governance and dignified service delivery within Home Affairs, we have zero tolerance for unethical conduct or corruption,” Schreiber said.

“As our accelerated action against errant conduct demonstrates, officials who fail to heed this message will soon find themselves out of Home Affairs and on their way to prison.”
Schreiber said the department is even more determined to pursue digital transformation to close opportunities for manual and paper-based processes to be exploited towards corrupt ends.
“Digital transformation holds the key to uprooting corruption in our systems while enhancing the efficiency of service delivery.”

KUALA LUMPUR: The National Wages Consultative Council (Amendment) Bill 2024 was tabled for its first reading in the Dewan Rakyat today.
The bill was presented by Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Seri Abdul Rahman Mohamad, who said its second reading would be done during the current meeting.
The bill seeks to amend Section 2 of the National Wages Consultative Council Act 2011 (Act 732) to bring the definition of ‘’contract of service” in line with that in the Employment Act 1955 (Act 265), the Sabah Labour Ordinance (Cap. 67) and the Sarawak Labour Ordinance (Cap. 76).
The proposed amendment will extend the scope of “contract of service” and consequently, the provisions relating to the minimum wage under Act 732 will also apply to an employee under an apprenticeship contract.

These Husband-and-Wife Co-Founders Started a Food Brand to Share Chinese Culture — Then a Smart Rebrand Took Their Company to the Next Level Jennifer Liao of MìLà on starting a food business, amplifying modern Chinese food and using storytelling to grow a brand.
By Shawn P. Walchef Edited by Jessica Thomas
Key Takeaways
- Liao and her husband, Caleb Wang, decided to rebrand as MìLà to grow their food brand past its early origins.
- MìLà is involved in marketing partnerships with Uncle Roger and others. The goal is to form partnerships that make sense for everyone involved and are not just about money.
- Liao and Wang used Instagram polls to find out what their core audience wanted to see — and the answer was surprising.
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.
At the heart of MìLà is storytelling.
The modern Chinese food brand uses design, videos, influencer marketing and more to tell a story that honors heritage while taking it into the future.
"On the soup dumpling bag is [a picture of] my mom, as well as her friend who helped us fold dumplings in the restaurant in the very beginning," MìLà co-founder Jennifer Liao shares with Restaurant Influencers host Shawn Walchef. "It's this really personal touch."
Liao and her husband, Caleb Wang, co-founded MìLà, which provides restaurant-quality dishes for people to enjoy at home. The brand started as a brick-and-mortar shop in Washington state but expanded into selling frozen, direct-to-consumer products in 2020. It now offers a selection of soup dumplings, sauces, noodles, potstickers and ice cream.
Part of MìLà's storytelling North Star led to powerful partnerships with Uncle Roger, Simu Liu and others, which helped them share their journey with even more people.
Rebranding as MìLà
Liao and Wang's restaurant concept was called Xiao Chi Jie, shortened to XCJ. Due to the difficulty with marketing, specifically SEO and customers' difficulty saying the name correctly, the couple decided to rebrand to include more personal touches, with an easier name for loyal customers to pass along.
"We didn't actually do the rebrand until [March 2023]," Liao says. "We wanted to choose a name that was more representative of us."
They liked the name Mila for a daughter — but instead, it became the name of another type of baby: Their growing food business was reborn as MìLà.
"Essentially, it means sweet (mì 蜜) and spicy (là 辣), which is perfect for a food concept," Liao says. "We loved how personal it was to us; it means something in Chinese and English. It embraced that duality, that 'third culture' piece for us, which is important in capturing a name."
After rebranding and finding investors, they hired actor and author Simu Liu as their chief content officer. "Many Asian kids like myself grew up being made fun of for the taste, look or smell of food that wasn't familiar to other kids," Liu said when partnering with the brand. "MìLà is demystifying Chinese cuisine and creating an inclusive conversation around third culture in a way that I'm thrilled to be a part of."
Plus, he added, "MìLà's soup dumplings got my parents' tough stamp of approval."
For Liao, MìLà must have an organic connection and similar goals if it partners with a person or brand.
"We have talked to a lot of different celebrities or public figures, and you can tell sometimes it's just not the right thing," she says. "For partnerships, I think it's being really realistic... And if you feel that there's a thread, keep pulling on that persistently."
When it comes to connecting with their online audience, Liao and Wang took to Instagram polls to find out what their core audience wants to see. They learned that some followers love their tempting food photos, but a good percentage enjoy the behind-the-scenes, non-scripted videos of the co-founders in action running their business.
"That allows us a different avenue of storytelling of who we are and behind-the-scenes pieces that are not polished and not necessarily about food or recipe content," Liao says.

Tata Curvv ICE, Curvv EV Bag Five Stars In Bharat NCAP Crash Tests
Highlights
- Curvv becomes latest Tata passenger vehicle to receive a five-star rating from Bharat NCAP.
- Curvv EV outscores combustion engine Curvv on both adult and child occupant protection.
- Curvv is the fifth Tata model to be awarded five stars by the testing agency.
Tata Motors’ stellar run in the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (BNCAP) crash tests continues – in the latest round of results, the Tata Curvv has been awarded five stars for adult and child occupant protection. The Curvv, which was first introduced in all-electric form in August, has become the latest Tata passenger vehicle after the Harrier, Safari, Punch EV, Nexon EV and the combustion engine Nexon, to bag a five-star rating from the testing agency. Both the combustion engine as well as the all-electric Curvv were subjected to the crash tests, with both notching up impressive scores all-round to secure five stars.
Tata Curvv ICE Bharat NCAP crash test rating and scores
The internal combustion engine (ICE) version of the Curvv received five stars with a score of 29.50 points out of 32 for adult occupant protection. Bharat NCAP tested the Accomplished Plus A diesel-manual variant of the coupe-SUV. In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, it scored 14.65 points out of 16, and 14.85 points out of 16 in the side movable deformable barrier test. The test report noted protection for the driver and front passenger to range from good to adequate in the frontal offset test, with only protection for the driver’s left shin deemed ‘marginal’.
On the child occupant protection front, the Curvv ICE scored 43.66 points out of 49. The child restraint systems for both the 18-month-old as well as the 3-year-old child dummies were installed rearward-facing in the rear seats. In the tests, the dynamic score for child protection was 22.66 points out of 24, and the vehicle assessment score was 9 points out of 13, with a full 12 out of 12 points given for the child restraint installation. The rating and scores are applicable to all variants of the Curvv ICE.
Tata Curvv EV Bharat NCAP crash test rating and scores
While both versions received five stars, the Curvv EV outdid the Curvv ICE on the final scores. The Curvv EV notched up a marginally higher 30.81 points out of 32 for adult occupant protection. Bharat NCAP tested the Empowered Plus A 55 kWh variant of the coupe-SUV. In the frontal offset deformable barrier test, it scored 15.66 points out of 16, and 15.15 points out of 16 in the side movable deformable barrier test. The test report noted protection for the driver and front passenger to be good, with only protection for the shins deemed adequate.
The Curvv EV also secured 44.83 points out of 49 for child occupant protection. The child restraint systems for both the 18-month-old as well as the 3-year-old child dummies were installed rearward-facing in the rear seats. Notably, the dynamic score for the 18-month-old dummy was a full 12 points, which resulted in an overall dynamic score of 23.83 points out of 24. Just like the Curvv ICE, the vehicle assessment score was 9 points out of 13, with a full 12 out of 12 points given for the child restraint installation. The rating and scores are applicable to all variants of the Curvv ICE.
Tata Curvv: Standard safety features and prices
As standard, both the Curvv ICE as well as the Curvv EV are equipped with six airbags and electronic stability control, along with ABS, hill hold control, three-point seat belts for all passengers and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Introductory prices for the Curvv ICE range from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 19 lakh, and Rs 17.49 lakh to Rs 21.99 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom).

The following is an excerpt from the latest edition of Yahoo's fantasy football newsletter, Get to the Points! If you like what you see, you can subscribe for free here.
Fantasy managers will spend the next 24 hours working the waiver wire, but that's obviously just part of the process. In most instances, you also have to make a corresponding drop. And we'd like to help you make those difficult cuts.
Most fantasy advice will never be one size fits all, and that's especially true for a cut list. You need to apply this to your situation and the context of your league. A nifty stash in one league could be a see-you-later player in a different room. And remember, if you never make a regretful cut during the season, you're probably playing far too conservatively.
Isaiah Likely, TE, Ravens (59% rostered)
I have a few fantasy shares of Likely, and I'm not eager to give them up. But we have to accept that he's merely a contingency-value stash at tight end these days, not someone you can play. He has just nine catches since the blowup season opener. Unless Mark Andrews gets hurt, Likely can't be trusted in lineups. And in the teeth of bye season, that might make him a drop now.
Dontayvion Wicks, WR, Packers (47% rostered)
You used good process when you added Wicks, but he didn't come through in his last two opportunities, and now the receiving room is healing up. The Packers also have two talented backs and a tight end of note. Wicks is also dealing with a shoulder injury, giving him week-to-week status. In most formats, it's not worth the wait.
Trey Sermon, RB, Colts (48% rostered)
Jonathan Taylor probably isn't long off, even if he can't play in Week 7. But Sermon has a more immediate issue — Tyler Goodson is clearly outplaying him. Surely this isn't lost on the Indianapolis coaching staff.
Antonio Gibson, RB, Patriots (49% rostered)
He flopped in his starting opportunity last week (13 carries, 19 yards) and the Patriots will go back to Rhamondre Stevenson when healthy, no matter how much he fumbles. And some of New England's rushing production will also be distributed to athletic and resourceful rookie QB Drake Maye.
Jerome Ford, RB, Browns (73% rostered)
He's dealing with a balky hamstring, the offense is shipwrecked by poor blocking and QB play, and Nick Chubb might return this week. Ford was a fantasy dud most of the year, and while much of it wasn't his fault, he has a capped ceiling.
Daniel Jones, QB, Giants (21% rostered)
He made sense as a Week 6 sleeper, even though his home/road splits are starting to become too large to ignore (Jones, for some reason, plays poorly in New Jersey). It's a home date against Philly this week, and then a trip to Pittsburgh. Even with Malik Nabers expected back, we hope you have a better QB option to navigate the bye weeks.

KOTA KINABALU: Sabah is expected to continue receiving allocations for rural development in Budget 2025, aimed at closing the development gap between rural and urban areas, Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said.
He said the funding will also focus on improving basic infrastructure, particularly in addressing the challenges faced by ageing schools and clinics.
“To achieve these objectives, we will prioritise ensuring comprehensive access to essential amenities, specifically roads, treated water supply and electricity,” he told reporters after the State Development Action Council (MTPNg) meeting at Menara Kinabalu today.
At the same time, Hajiji reiterated the government’s commitment to enhancing the welfare of the people through social protection measures for all segments of society, the creation of better-paying job opportunities, and the implementation of policies that promote equitable wealth distribution.
He said the government was optimistic that Budget 2025 would move Malaysia closer to realising the goals of the MADANI Economy.
Hajiji said Budget 2025, to be presented on Friday in Parliament, will serve as a long-term economic framework for Malaysia, aiming to enhance the country’s economic potential and improve the quality of life of all Malaysians in line with its theme, ‘Ekonomi MADANI, Negara Makmur, Rakyat Sejahtera’.
“Agencies and departments in Sabah must be proactive in exploring opportunities to enhance the performance of state development projects,” he added.
He reiterated that federal development projects, such as schools and clinics, can proceed without waiting for land ownership to be issued, provided the land has been gazetted for that purpose.
“If land is required for building schools and clinics, the state government will facilitate the process to avoid any delays in project implementation,” he said.

GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- As he sits fiddling with the strings on his hoodie in the Guadalajara sun, Malik Tillman's voice hardly rises. He's calm, as he always is. The 22-year-old midfielder rarely shows emotion. No matter the situation, Tillman remains stoic, reserved and, to be honest, just a little bit shy.
His voice may not rise often but, for a split second, a burst of passion comes out. That's because he has a confession to make: he knows what people think of him.
Tillman is naturally quiet, but he has become very aware of what his shyness portrays. He knows how it's perceived when he doesn't bat an eye, yell or react when things don't go his way or, more importantly, his team's way. He knows that there's a segment of U.S. men's national team fans that see him walking off the field emotionless and wonder one thing: why doesn't he feel this as much as we do?
From the outside, it may look like he doesn't care. Tillman sees that, feels that and understands that, but he's also determined to set the record straight.
Malik Tillman does, in fact, care, perhaps more than even those closest to him realize.
"Some people say I'm not interested in the game just from the way I look," Tillman tells GOAL, "but it really is more or less the other way around. That's just how I express myself. I'm a chill guy, and that's also me on the pitch. I might seem relaxed or seem like I don't care, but it really is the other way around.
"I mean, this is just how I am. This? This is how I can be the best I can be."
Tillman is reaching a point where the USMNT will need him to be at his best. With new coach Mauricio Pochettino leading the charge, there are big expectations now being placed on Tillman's shoulders, including from the coach himself. On the club level with PSV, Tillman is the best he's ever been. He's third in the Eredivisie with four goals and he leads the Dutch league in chances created with 21. The goal of being at the 2026 World Cup is in sight, particularly if he continues on the path he's currently on.
Tillman doesn't talk about his goals much. In fact, he doesn't talk about anything much. He generally keeps to himself, both on the field and off of it. Don't mistake his shyness for meekness, though. As he looks to make his mark and seize opportunities for club and country, he has one more message to send:
"As soon as the game comes, for me, I'm not afraid of anyone," he insists.

Jerry Jones celebrated his 82nd birthday on Sunday by watching his Dallas Cowboys get dismantled by the Detroit Lions 47-9. Two days later, he directed his frustrations towards a pair of hosts on the team's flagship radio station.
Following an offseason that saw the Cowboys spend little on free agents and save big money spending on their own star players —CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott — Jones did not take fondly to being asked why he wasn't more active on improving the roster.
Jones' annoyance with the line of questioning had him appearing to threaten the jobs of 105.3 FM's Shan Shariff, R.J. Choppy and Bobby Belt.
This is not your job. Your job isn't to let me go over all the reasons that I did something and I'm sorry that I did it," Jones said. That's not your job. I'll get somebody else to ask these questions. I'm not kidding. You're not going to figure out what the team is doing right or wrong. If you are, or any five or 10 like you, you need to come to this [NFL owner's] meeting I'm going to today with 32 teams here, you're geniuses.
"Ya'll really think you're gonna sit here with a microphone and tell me all of the things that I've done wrong without going all over the rights? Listen, we both know we're talking to a lot of great fans and a lot of great listeners. And I'm very sorry for what happened out there Sunday. I'm sick about what happened Sunday.
"One of the stupidest things I've ever done, that anybody had ever analyzed is buy the Cowboys. It was an idiot that did that. So idiot things can turn into good decisions. Smart things can turn into bad decisions. The facts are that when you make one, you don't really know if it's going to be good or not at the time. You want some conversation this morning, you're getting it."
The Cowboys have their bye in Week 7 before returning to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in Week 8. There was already going to be a heavy discussion about the construction of Dallas' roster considering their mediocre start and that the NFL's highest-paid quarterback is tied for second in interceptions (6), has an 85.4% passer rating and has been sacked the fifth-most times (16) — not to mention they've lost four consecutive games at AT&T Stadium.
And now the Cowboys will gobble up headlines during an off week — which makes you think Jones knew what he was doing here. He's always been a salesman.
Jones said after Sunday's loss he was happy the bye week was coming as it will give them time to fix the numerous areas that need improvement. Micah Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence will likely remain out through the bye, further hobbling a 25th-ranked defense that has given up the sixth-most rushing yards and allowed the third-most points through six weeks.
As for change? That's not coming for any part of the Cowboys' roster. Head coach Mike McCarthy's job is safe as Jones reiterated Tuesday by saying in-season coaching changes are "usually ineffective. They just aren't good."
On the field, Jones trusts in his players — his "outstanding personnel" as he put it — to turn around an uninspired start to the season.
"Well, first of all, where you going to go to get any players? Seriously? Where are you going to go to get any players for next week against San Francisco?" Jones said. "Now, No. 1, I've seen these players. I've seen every single one of them execute like you want the plays to be executed and do their job within the role. That didn't happen the other day, and we paid the consequences for it. But I've seen the players do it."

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Highlights:
Scalable Performance: Expanded network-on-chip tiling supported by mesh topology capabilities in FlexNoC and Ncore interconnect IP products allow systems-on-chip with AI to easily scale by more than 10 times without changing the basic design, meeting AI's huge demand for faster and more powerful computing. Power Reduction: Network-on-chip tiles can be turned off dynamically, cutting power by 20% on average, essential for more energy-efficient and sustainable AI applications with lower operating costs.
Design Reuse: Pre-tested network-on-chip tiles can be reused, cutting the SoC integration time by up to 50% and shortening the time to market for AI innovations.
CAMPBELL, Calif., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Arteris, Inc. (Nasdaq: AIP), a leading provider of system IP which accelerates system-on-chip (SoC) creation, today announced an innovative evolution of its network-on-chip (NoC) IP products with tiling capabilities and extended mesh topology support for faster development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) compute in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The new functionality enables design teams to scale compute performance by more than 10 times while meeting project schedules plus power, performance and area (PPA) goals.
Network-on-chip tiling is an emerging trend in SoC design. The evolutionary approach uses proven, robust network-on-chip IP to facilitate scaling, condense design time, speed testing and reduce design risk. It allows SoC architects to create modular, scalable designs by replicating soft tiles across the chip. Each soft tile represents a self-contained functional unit, enabling faster integration, verification and optimization.
Tiling coupled with mesh topologies within Arteris' flagship NoC IP products, FlexNoC and Ncore, are transformative for the ever-growing inclusion of AI compute into most SoCs. AI-enabled systems are growing in size and complexity yet can be quickly scaled with the addition of soft tiles without disrupting the entire SoC design. Together, the combination of tiling and mesh topologies provides a way to further reduce the auxiliary processing unit (XPU) sub-system design time and overall SoC connectivity execution time by up to 50% versus manually integrated, non-tiled designs.
The first iteration of NoC tiling organizes Network Interface Units (NIUs) into modular, repeatable blocks, improving scalability, efficiency and reliability in SoC designs. These SoC designs result in increasingly larger and more advanced AI compute which supports fast-growing, sophisticated AI workloads for Vision, Machine Learning (ML) models, Deep Learning (DL), Natural Language Processing (NLP) including Large Language Models (LLMs), and Generative AI (GAI), both for training and inference, including at the edge.
“Thanks to Arteris' highly scalable and flexible mesh-based NoC IP, our SoC team has implemented support for larger AI data volumes and complex algorithms more efficiently. The close collaboration with Arteris has enabled us to create an Arm-based, multi-modal, software-centric edge AI platform that supports models ranging from CNNs to multimodal GenAI and everything in between with scalable performance per watt,” said Srivi Dhruvanarayan, VP of hardware engineering at SiMa.ai.“We look forward to deploying the expanded Arteris NoC tiling and mesh functionality, which should further enhance our ability to create highly scalable AI silicon platforms for the edge.”
“Arteris is continuously innovating, and this revolutionary NoC soft tiling functionality supported by large mesh topologies is an advancement in SoC design technology,” said K. Charles Janac, president and CEO of Arteris.“Our customers, who are already building leading-edge AI-powered SoCs, are further empowered to accelerate the development of much larger and more complex AI systems with greater efficiency, all while staying within their project timeline and PPA targets.”
The FlexNoC and Ncore NoC IP products, which offer expanded AI support via tiling and extended mesh topology capabilities, are now available to early-access customers and partners. To learn more, visit .

KUALA LUMPUR: A blocked drainage system on Jalan G2, Taman Melawati, has been identified as the cause of this morning’s landslide in the area, said Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi.
Nanta said he had directed the Slope Engineering Branch (CKC) of the Public Works Department (JKR) to carry out a detailed assessment of the landslide situation in Taman Melawati.
“Four houses and one car were affected by the soil movement. No casualties have been reported,” he said in a Facebook post.
He added that the branch had issued a danger warning to the Gombak and Hulu Langat District JKR at 4.37 pm yesterday as a precautionary measure and the warning was also communicated to representatives of the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council.
Nanta also urged all residents in the affected area to comply with the authorities’ instructions to avoid any untoward incidents.
Earlier, Ampang Jaya police chief ACP Mohd Azam instructed the occupants of 20 houses in Taman Melawati to evacuate their homes following the landslide in the nearby area.
All affected residents have been directed to temporarily relocate to the Jalan E5 Taman Melawati Multipurpose Hall.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The Largest Amateur Soccer League in the U.S.A. is Bringing Its Talent to South Beach - and the Surrounding Areas - With the Launch of MIA Footy
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NYC Footy, the largest amateur soccer league in America, announces the official launch of the organization's South Florida league, MIA Footy. The new amateur soccer league aims to bring the same level of gamesmanship, competition, camaraderie and fun to the Miami area that NYC Footy is known for in its hometown of New York City. Registration for MIA Footy is available at .
MIA Footy will bring the coed amateur soccer fun that NYC Footy has established in New York since 2010 to the South Florida community beginning this fall. Leagues will be offered from beginner to intermediate to advanced levels of play, but always with the overriding goal of creating a competitive and inclusive environment. Players have the opportunity to sign-up and meet new people as part of a team, as well as sign-up with their friends to take on others. Corporate teams are also invited to register and use amateur soccer as a culture building tool for the workplace. Regardless of skill level, number of friends or fitness level, MIA Footy will provide all soccer enthusiasts the opportunity to get on the pitch and play the beautiful game.
“We can't wait to bring competitive and community-building soccer to South Florida,” said NYC Footy Founder Tarek Pertew.“As interest in soccer continues to grow in the U.S., specifically in the lead-up to the next FIFA(r) World Cup, we're seeing tremendous growth in the number of adults - some who have played their entire lives, and many of whom have never played before - looking to join a team. Obviously, Miami has been a hotbed of soccer excitement over the past few years with David Beckham's Inter Miami CF bringing Lionel Messi to the MLS. With all of that energy and enthusiasm around the sport, we're looking forward to giving adult players of all ages and skill levels a chance to get out, make friends, have fun, and enjoy this beautiful game that unites us all.”
MIA Footy leagues will start on November 3 in Henderson Park located in Little Havana and Soccer Town in Pembroke Pines; games will begin at Soccer Cage Downtown in Wynwood on November 7.
MIA Footy registration will be open to adults ages 18+ via the new MIA Footy website: .

JOHOR BAHRU: A company in China claimed it was deceived in a transaction of frozen Musang King durian to be imported from Malaysia, resulting in a loss of RM2.6 million.
Johor police chief Datuk CP M. Kumar said a man, who is the company’s manager, claimed to have dealt with an individual, also a Chinese citizen, for a transaction and the money was transferred on July 5 using the alleged company’s bank account registered in Malaysia.
He said the manager claimed that the incident happened after his company was convinced by the individual that the Musang King durian could be imported from Malaysia to China by using an approved permit (AP) of a fruit import export company with an address in Malaysia.
“The company met the individual in China and agreed to buy 3,840 cartons of frozen Musang King durian worth 4.3 million renminbi or RM2.6 million. The complainant’s company then made a cash transfer into a bank account belonging to another company registered in Malaysia as instructed by the individual.
“The company was promised the consignment of frozen Musang King durian within a month after payment was made but, until now, it has not received it as promised and the individual could not be contacted either,” Kumar said in a statement today.
He said the manager had also asked his friend in Malaysia to locate the company owning the AP and the company confirmed that it had never done business with the company in China.
Kumar said the case is being investigated under Section 420/411 of the Penal Code (for cheating) and advised the public to be alert and cautious when dealing with unknown individuals.

As another winnable game slipped out of his hands, Aaron Rodgers sat pensively on the New York Jets' bench Monday night looking like he was contemplating life.
It didn’t appear he liked what he saw.
His Jets were about to be losers again — 23-20 to Buffalo — and thus fall to 2-4 on the season. They had already fired the coach, Robert Saleh. They had already changed play-callers. They had already talked about renewed effort and focus.
And yet, little had changed.
The lights were bright inside MetLife Stadium, but this felt like one of Rodgers' famed darkness retreats; his face conveying more regret than resolve.
And so it should be no surprise that by Tuesday morning the Jets had pulled the trigger on bringing in one of Rodgers' all-time favorite wide receivers, acquiring Devonte Adams from Las Vegas for a conditional third-round pick.
The move reunites the quarterback and pass-catcher — they played together for eight seasons (2014-2021) in Green Bay. They combined for 622 receptions, 7,590 yards and 69 touchdowns in regular season play.
Those were the glory days. Big scores and big wins. The Packers averaged 10 regular season victories during that period and won six playoff games to advance to the NFC championship game four different times.
Adams left for Vegas in 2022 and nothing worked quite like it did with the Packers. After 14 touchdowns his first season, he’s had just nine since. The Jets tried to trade for him last year but the Raiders wouldn’t budge. After just one touchdown in three games this year, Adams requested a trade.
Rodgers, meanwhile, headed to the Jets in 2023 and there has been little more than injury and disappointment. At age 41, there isn’t a lot of time for lost seasons or slow rebuilds. New York brought Rodgers in to win now.
They aren’t winning.
Maybe a recoupling will change everything. The Jets sure hope so. They are pretty much out of options, other than finally finding a way to get pass rusher Haason Reddick back into the fold. Reddick is more likely to be traded though.
Team owner Woody Johnson declared this team the most talented in 25 years. He used that as justification for firing Saleh after a 2-3 start to the season. Meanwhile, offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett (a perceived Rodgers’ confidant) was demoted from calling plays.
Yet, rather than lighting a fire of inspiration under the roster, the Jets looked like the same old mediocre, beat-themselves outfit on Monday.
There was a dropped touchdown. There were two field goal attempts hit uprights and crossbars. There were 11 penalties for 110 yards. New York converted just four of 12 third down attempts and went 1 for 4 in the red zone.
Not even a converted Hail Mary at the end of the first half could save them.
Rodgers seemed stunned that the game didn’t turn out better.
"We need to get going," Rodgers said on Monday. "This was a golden opportunity. Some games you win in the NFL, and some games you give away. This was a giveaway."
It was indicative of this entire Jets experiment for Rodgers. It began with much fanfare and the expectations of a late-career potential championship push in the spirit of Peyton Manning in Denver and Tom Brady in Tampa Bay.
Subscribe to Yahoo Sports NFL on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen.
Instead, New York is staring at a stretch this month that features games at 4-2 Pittsburgh and later hosting 5-1 Houston.
"It's frustrating," Rodgers said. "I'm here to win [these] games."
The season isn’t over, but it is trending in that direction. Hence the franchise pulling every early-season emergency cord it can.
Defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich is the interim coach and Todd Downing is calling plays. So now it’s all about the players.
Adams gives Rodgers a familiar face and weapon and bolsters a receiving corps that already features Garrett Wilson. The offense wasn’t bad on Monday — Rodgers threw for 294 yards and two touchdowns and Breece Hall ran for 113 yards while adding 56 receiving.
It still wasn't enough though. And for a team with Super Bowl aspirations, that isn't enough.
The third-round pick (which could become a second if it works out) is a significant but not daunting price. What other options were there for the Jets? Rodgers is by far their most accomplished quarterback in decades and this was an all-in season.
Might as well make the most of it while something can still be made.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
Developed alongside the Zacks Rank, the Zacks Style Scores are a group of complementary indicators that help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics. Just like in school, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on -- that means the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value Score
For value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth Score
Growth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum Score
Momentum traders and investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." This investing style is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Employing factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, the Momentum Style Score can indicate favorable times to build a position in high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
If you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
The Zacks Rank is a proprietary stock-rating model that harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to help investors build a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: American Express (AXP)
Founded in 1850, NY-based American Express Company is a diversified financial services company, offering charge and credit payment card products, and travel-related services worldwide. American Express and its main subsidiary – American Express Travel Related Services Company, Inc. (“TRS”) – are bank holding companies under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The company offers business travel-related services through its non-consolidated joint venture, American Express Global Business Travel (the GBT JV).
AXP is a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Finance stock. AXP has a Momentum Style Score of B, and shares are up 5.9% over the past four weeks.
For fiscal 2024, five analysts revised their earnings estimate upwards in the last 60 days, and the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0.08 to $13.14 per share. AXP boasts an average earnings surprise of 7.7%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, AXP should be on investors' short list.

KOTA KINABALU: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) today detained a married couple suspected of submitting fraudulent claims to Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd (SESB) involving a diesel supply contract valued at over RM650,000 in 2013.
According to sources, the suspects, aged 50 and 60, are a former chief executive officer and a former executive director of a private company.
They are alleged to have submitted 15 false claims linked to a diesel supply contract intended for use in electricity generator sets operated by their firm.
However, the actual supply of diesel allegedly did not correspond with the claims made. As a result, both suspects were detained at 10.55 am while providing testimony at the Sabah MACC office.
When contacted, Sabah MACC director Datuk S. Karunanithy confirmed the arrests, saying that the case is being investigated under Section 471 of the Penal Code.
Karunanithy also confirmed another case in which a 61-year-old former civil servant was detained after being suspected of soliciting and accepting approximately RM16,000 in bribes to expedite the transfer of ownership for a 12-acre plot of land in Tawau.
The case is being investigated under Section 165 of the Penal Code.

Oregon coaches exploited a loophole in the rulebook and it could result in in-season action from the NCAA.
With 10 seconds left in the Ducks' win over Ohio State on Saturday, the Buckeyes were driving to get into range for what would have been a game-winning field goal when Oregon called a timeout. After the stoppage, the Ducks sent 12 defenders onto the field for a third-down play that resulted in an incomplete pass and left Ohio State with just six seconds on the clock.
Flagged for illegal participation, Oregon essentially traded having an extra defensive back on an obvious passing down for a five-yard penalty that burned four seconds off the clock — a savvy move that is now garnering scrutiny.
Steve Shaw, the NCAA secretary rules editor, told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that the NCAA Football Playing Rules Committee is actively “engaged” in examining the play for possible action. The Big Ten officiating crew handled the play appropriately, Shaw said, but the rules committee is discussing a way to address the play.
In the past, the rules committee has responded to such “fair play” incidents with interpretation bulletins released during a season. The bulletins are often meant to be a directive for officials in games in the future.
“We’ve had good dialogue on this play,” Shaw told Yahoo Sports. “We’ve recognized the way it played out.”
Mid-season rules interpretations are not common but they have happened in the past for similar plays that violate a rules committee component — that a penalty should not benefit the team penalized. The goal of any interpretation is to discourage coaches from further exploiting the rules, which can only be changed during a longer off-season process.
To discourage the action in the Oregon-Ohio State game, any interpretation would likely direct officials to return the game clock to its original time. Shaw declined to comment on any specifics.
In an interview on Monday, a grinning Oregon coach Dan Lanning seemed to acknowledge that coaches intentionally inserted a 12th player — a defensive back — to assist in an obvious passing down.
“We spend an inordinate amount of time on situations, and there are some situations that don't show up very often in college football,” he said, “but this is one that obviously we have worked on. So you can see the result.”

“Our third quarter produced record financial results, with net income and earnings per share increasing significantly compared to the year ago quarter,” said Gary Head, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.“Our bankers achieved these quarterly earnings through strong net interest income generation and net interest margin expansion, augmented with the $12.46 million private placement of common shares that we completed in the prior quarter. The additional capital is already helping support our strategic growth plans and contributing to our bottom line. We plan to build on this earnings momentum over the next several years, as we have the right leadership team, infrastructure and technology in place to continue to optimize our operations.”
“We continue to focus on building out our deposit franchise to fund new loan activity,” said Scott Sandlin, Chief Strategy Officer.“Total deposits increased 2.2% during the quarter and 12.1% year-over-year. While rising rates changed the deposit mix as customers pursued higher yielding accounts, demand and non-interest bearing accounts remained strong. They accounted for 21.2% of total deposits, and savings and interest-bearing transaction accounts represented 37.6% of total deposits as of September 30, 2024. We see significant opportunities for growing non-interest bearing deposits in the coming quarters as we continue to attract new customers to the Bank.”
Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights:
Income Statement
In the third quarter of 2024, the Company generated a ROAA of 0.91% and a ROAE of 11.33%, compared to 0.63% and 8.26%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2024 and 0.24% and 3.25%, respectively, in the third quarter a year ago.
“Our NIM expanded seven basis points during the third quarter of 2024, as higher asset yields more than offset the modest increase in funding costs,” said Brant Ward, President.“We anticipate our NIM will continue to expand for the remainder of 2024 if interest rates remain at current levels or continue to decline.” The Company's NIM was 3.32% in the third quarter of 2024, compared to 3.25% in the second quarter of 2024, and expanded 43 basis points compared to 2.89% in the third quarter of 2023. In the first nine months of 2024, the NIM expanded 18 basis points to 3.18%, compared to 3.00% in the first nine months of 2023.
Net interest income increased 30.1% to $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $7.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. Total interest income increased 34.0% to $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $13.3 million in the third quarter of 2023.

In the first nine months of 2024, net interest income increased 19.8% to $26.5 million, compared to $22.1 million in the first nine months of 2023.
Noninterest income increased 22.0% to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $1.6 million in the third quarter a year ago. Wealth management fee income, the largest component of noninterest income, increased 11.0% to $996,000 during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $897,000 in the third quarter of 2023. The Company acquired a wealth management division in July 2023, which continues to generate noninterest income and fuel operating results. Secondary market fee income increased to $244,000 during the third quarter of 2024, compared to $71,000 in the third quarter a year ago. In the first nine months of the year, noninterest income increased 28.2% to $5.5 million, compared to $4.3 million in the first nine months of 2023.
Noninterest expense was $8.3 million in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $7.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, as expenses are starting to normalize following the market expansion over the past few years. The Company anticipates further expense stabilization over the next several quarters. In the first nine months of the year, noninterest expense increased 4.4% to $24.6 million, compared to $23.6 million in the first nine months of 2023.

Credit Quality
Due to pristine credit quality, net loan recoveries, and muted loan growth, the Company recorded a $250,000 release from the allowance for credit losses in the third quarter of 2024. This compared to a $432,000 provision in the second quarter of 2024, and a $325,000 provision in the third quarter of 2023.
There were zero nonperforming loans at September 30, 2024. This compared to nonperforming loans of $32,000 at June 30, 2024, and $125,000 at September 30, 2023. Nonperforming loans represented 0.00% of total loans at September 30, 2024, and June 30, 2024, and 0.01% of total loans a year ago.
The allowance for credit losses was $12.2 million, or 1.23% of total loans, at September 30, 2024, compared to $12.4 million, or 1.25% of total loans, at June 30, 2024, and $10.9 million, or 1.20% of total loans, at September 30, 2023.“We continue to closely monitor our portfolio mix, growth, and local and national conditions to maintain the appropriate allowance for credit losses,” said Jeff Maland, Chief Risk Officer.

PORT DICKSON: The Negeri Sembilan Department of Environment (DOE) uncovered a case of illegal dumping of chemical waste believed to be paint and oil waste in Bukit Pelanduk area near Port Dickson.
State Entrepreneurship, Human Resources, Climate Change, Cooperatives and Consumerism Committee chairman, S. Veerapan said DOE found approximately 70 to 100 barrels with a capacity of 210 litres of used paint and approximately 50 IBC tanks with a capacity of 1000 litres containing oil in the area.
“The state DOE received complaints from the public regarding the matter yesterday through Whatsapps. Acting on the information, the state DOE investigation unit immediately moved to the location to conduct further inspections.
“The dumping area is located away from public view, protected behind a wall that prevents it from being seen from the road,“ he said in a statement here today.
He said the results of the inspection found that there were no labels on the containers, believed to have been removed to avoid detection by the authorities.
According to him, DOE took samples of the chemical waste content to be analysed by the Chemistry Department in more detail.
“Police reports were also made for the purpose of notification and monitoring by the authorities. DOE will then conduct a search for the owner of the land through the Port Dickson Land and District Office to assist in the investigation to identify the party responsible,“ he said.
He said appropriate legal action will be taken based on the provisions of the Environmental Quality Act 1974 against parties involved in this pollution activity.
The state DOE is calling on members of the public to report any illegal waste disposal activities to combat such irresponsible practices.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are trending toward making a change at quarterback. Veteran Russell Wilson, who signed with the Steelers in March, is finally healthy enough to start taking first-team reps, and will reportedly do just that this week. That sets him up to make his Steelers debut this weekend when they face the New York Jets.
Sources: The #Steelers plan to give Russell Wilson first-team reps in practice this week, putting him in line to make his season debut and start Sunday night against the #Jets.
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 15, 2024
Pittsburgh is 4-2 with Justin Fields. But Wilson’s calf is fully healed and now he gets his shot. pic.twitter.com/vrhgo7LfgO
Wilson, 35, struggled with a calf injury throughout training camp, but appeared to be on the other side of it as the regular season approached. He was named the starting quarterback prior to Week 1 over Justin Fields, but reaggravated that lurking calf injury just days before the Steelers were due to start their season against the Atlanta Falcons.
The Steelers didn't make a formal announcement about their Week 1 starter before inactives were released, but when when they came out 90 minutes before kickoff, Wilson was on the list. Fields would be the starter going forward, and he helped lead the Steelers to a 3-0 start.
Pittsburgh has had just a few hiccups since then and currently sit at 4-2. Despite that strong, Tomlin is definitely putting Wilson in consideration to be the Week 7 starter.
Tomlin: "[Russell Wilson] is in consideration this week. We'll see where that leads us.
— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) October 15, 2024
The Steelers need an offensive push, and Wilson can definitely give that to them. And Russ wants redemption more than ever after two disastrous years with the Denver Broncos. Now he's closer than ever to proving he's got more passes left in that mighty arm.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The breast cancer loop remains open until a woman is informed of the full spectrum of breast reconstruction options.
Arlington Heights, Ill, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) in partnership with The Plastic Surgery Foundation (PSF) proudly announces the 13th annual Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day USA (BRA Day) on Wednesday, Oct. 16.
Breast cancer can be a devastating disease that affects 1 in 8 women in the United States. The choice to undergo breast reconstruction following mastectomy or lumpectomy is a personal one, and every woman should be aware of her options. BRA Day seeks to raise awareness about the full spectrum of breast reconstruction options available to patients and promote access to vital information through education, events and fundraising activities.
The path forward for many women after being diagnosed with breast cancer can seem uncertain or overwhelming. Understanding available options for breast reconstruction is crucial to making informed decisions and ensuring a complete recovery. While many breast reconstruction patients opt for breast implants, a range of alternatives exist that include“going flat,” using a bra prosthesis or building new breasts using the patient's own tissue.
Studies show breast reconstruction significantly improves patients' quality of life by enhancing their psychological, social and sexual well-being after breast cancer surgery. It is essential that patients receive accurate and comprehensive information to empower them to reclaim their bodies in a way that aligns with their personal goals. BRA Day is dedicated to increasing awareness and ensuring access to all reconstruction options, giving patients the knowledge and confidence to make choices that best suit their individual needs.
"Breast reconstruction is not just a medical procedure,” said Alan Matarasso, MD, president of The Plastic Surgery Foundation.“It's an integral part of the healing journey for many women after breast cancer. Our goal with BRA Day is to ensure that every woman is educated about her reconstructive options, so she can make the decision that is right for her body and her future. We want to give patients the resources they need to regain their confidence and sense of self by increasing awareness."
BRA Day is a movement that seeks to reduce patient barriers to education and access to care. BRA Day events on Oct. 16 across the country are designed to help close the information gap and ensure every woman is aware of her options. BRA Day efforts strive to inform patients, families, caregivers and media that the breast cancer loop remains open until a woman is aware of all her breast reconstruction options.
Every patient deserves to learn about the full complement of breast reconstruction options at the time of diagnosis. In fact, the two main reasons women do not undergo breast reconstruction are because they are not referred to plastic surgeons and are not informed of their reconstructive options. Breast reconstruction is part of a comprehensive team approach and treatment for breast cancer patients.
Members of this team of specialists are plastic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, general surgeons, breast surgeons, pathologists, radiation oncologists, geneticists, nurses, patient care coordinators and more. Their collective insights guarantee that patients are not only aware of, but also have access to, a full range of reconstructive procedures, with decisions based on consensus among the team and ultimately the patient. Integral to this cohesive team approach are frequent meetings to discuss each patient and her individualized treatment plan.
"Every woman deserves the right to choose what happens to her body after breast cancer surgery and having access to information regarding the full complement of reconstructive options is the first step in that journey," said Lynn Damitz, MD, ASPS Board Vice President of Health Policy & Advocacy. "Through BRA Day we emphasize the importance of a team approach to care in which specialists collaborate with the patient, so they can make personalized, informed decisions. We must continue to advocate for better access and awareness, in addition to ensuring that every woman feels supported in her unique choice.”
Funds raised during BRA Day events support research and grants to improve breast reconstruction outcomes. In 2024, the BRA Campaign has raised more than $120,000 thanks to the generous support of Gold sponsor Allergan Aesthetics, an AbbVie company; Silver sponsor CareCredit; and Bronze sponsor Integra Foundation along with many regional and local events. These contributions to the National BRA Fund support vital research, charitable giving and awareness grants.
Fundraising continues throughout the month thanks to the CareCredit donation program. CareCredit will donate $1 to the Breast Reconstruction Awareness campaign every time a CareCredit cardholder purchases $200 or more on their card with an ASPS-member surgeon in the CareCredit network during October. Additionally, the Breast Reconstruction Awareness 5K, held in San Diego, Calif., during Plastic Surgery The Meeting 2024, was another key event contributing to the cause.
ASPS and The PSF launched the Breast Reconstruction Awareness Campaign and the annual BRA Day USA in 2012. The inaugural BRA Day started in Canada in 2011.

Become educated and help educate others about the availability of and access to breast reconstruction and why all women deserve a team approach to breast cancer treatment.

KUALA TERENGGANU: The female suspect who mowed down four Dungun Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) students last Wednesday (Oct 9) causing three deaths, was found not to have a driver’s license.
Terengganu police chief Datuk Mohd Khairi Khairudin said so far a total of 11 individuals have been questioned to assist the investigation into the incident.
“The witnesses called consist of those who were at the location and witnessed the incident as well as members of the suspect’s family,“ he said in a press conference at the Terengganu police contingent headquarters, here today.
Mohd Khairi said the charges against the mother of the three children today were made under Section 302 of the Penal Code and Section 307 (1) of the same act on the instructions of the Attorney General’s Chamber.
“Usually when an incident like this happens we will bring charges under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act (APJ) 1987 but this time it is not like that and the instructions of the Attorney General’s Chamber are that suspect should be charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code.
“The reason is to take into account at the scene that there may have been a collision in which the suspect may have been conscious and not stopped the vehicle and had dragged the victim up to more than 100 metres where the element to kill was present,“ he said.
In the meantime, he said that although there were allegations that the mother of three had previously disturbed students and residents around UiTM Dungun, the police had never received a report or complaint about the matter.
In addition, Mohd Khairi also reminded the public including netizens not to make any speculations or negative comments about the suspect since the woman has already been charged today and all parties have to submit to the court to make a decision.
Earlier today, suspect Norizan Ismail, 49, was charged under Section 302 of the Penal Code at the Dungun Magistrate’s Court and Section 307 (1) of the same act at the Kuala Terengganu Sessions Court.
However, no plea was recorded from the accused and she was ordered to undergo a mental examination and observation for a month at Permai Johor Bahru Hospital.
In the incident that happened at 7.35 pm last Wednesday on Jalan Pantai in front of Dungun UiTM, the housewife who was driving a sports utility vehicle (SUV) was suspected to have crashed into two motorbikes ridden by four students who were on their way back to campus.
The three who died were two Bachelor of Accountancy students Ku Adib Aizad Ku Azmi and Khairil Anwar Jamaludin, each aged 20, and Muhammad Akmal Md Tukirin, 25, a Bachelor of Food Service Management student.
Another injured victim who is also a Bachelor of Accountancy student is Muhammad Ammar Danish Mohd Ridhuan, 20.

Tate McRae's new era is full speed ahead.
After dropping her new song and video, "It's ok I'm ok," the Canadian star is now teasing yet another new song. In a clip on Instagram, she sings, "I just want your two hands on me/ at all times, baby." She captioned the post, "Another one alreadddyyy."
The song is officially called "2 Hands," and you can presave it now. Tate joked on TikTok, "No chance i wrote a happy song."
Prior to that, she posted a carousel of photos. One photo showed a white board with a list of numbers, which looks an awful lot like an album track listing, and next to each of them is a heart. She captioned that post, "Stay tuned." Tate's musical collaborator Ryan Tedder liked both posts.
One fan wrote in the comments, "the whiteboard out already???? oh ur working HARD." Other fans started begging for the release of the song and the album. "Ok Tate feed us," wrote one. "TM3 is definitely sooner than we think omg," another wrote.
Tate's most recent album, Think Later, came out in December 2023.
