A 49-year-old HGV driver falsely believed a “relationship was blossoming” when he sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl.
Steven Duncan, of Croft Crescent, Markinch, kissed his victim on the lips and inserted his tongue into her mouth at an address in Crosshill, Fife on October 8 last year.
He appeared at Dunfermline Sheriff Court for sentencing after earlier pleading guilty to the sexual assault.
Defence lawyer Elaine Buist said Duncan had perceived it was a “relationship that was blossoming”.
The solicitor said Duncan is employed full time as a HGV driver.
Sheriff Garry Sutherland told Duncan: “It’s difficult to get one’s head round why you did this.
“It does seem you genuinely thought some kind of relationship was blossoming and that was clearly not the case”.
The sheriff told Duncan his behaviour was “hideously inappropriate” and was no doubt distressing to the young woman.
Sheriff Sutherland made a requirement for Duncan to pay £500 compensation to his victim.
He also put him on offender supervision for 12 months, with a strict conduct requirement attached.
Duncan was put on the sex offenders register for a year.
Duncan had previously faced two other sexual assault allegations concerning the same complainer and a claim he sent suggestive messages to her, along with an allegation he sexually assaulted another woman, but prosecutors accepted not guilty pleas to all of these charges.
‘Itchy boils’
A pervert who performed a solo sex act at a Perth park in front of three children told police: “I’ve got itchy boils.”
Grubby Colin Grieve was spotted in broad daylight with his hands down his shorts at the city’s North Inch.
Grieve admitted public indecency when he appeared at Perth Sheriff Court.Perth Sheriff Court heard how the 42-year-old was challenged by mums who were at the park with their children aged 11, nine and three.
When questioned by police, he claimed he was scratching himself after a recent shave.
Grieve, of Primrose Crescent, Perth, admitted a charge of public indecency on April 22 2020 – just days into the first lockdown.
He was placed on the sex offenders register and will be sentenced next month.
Thug was ‘mucking about’
A domestic thug who put his girlfriend in a sleeper hold until she blacked out said he was “only mucking about”.
John Tierney’s victim fell unconscious for several minutes after he seized her by the neck “out of nowhere” in the kitchen of her Dundee home.
The 36-year-old was told he was lucky not to be facing a murder charge.
He accessed his then partner’s bank account without her permission, threatened to kill her, demanded money from her and seized and compressed her neck until she passed out, the court heard.
New driver banned
A teenager driver who crossed a solid white line to pull around two other vehicles has been banned from the road.
Logan McBride received six penalty points to add to the three he already had on his license.
As a new driver, it means he is disqualified under the totting up procedure.
Kirkcaldy Sheriff court heard the 19 year-old, of Cunningham Road Rosyth, was folllowed through Auchtertool village by another driver who became concerned when he saw him tailgating a van which was driving behind another car.
As the convoy exited the village, McBride pulled around the vehicles in front of him, crossing over a solid white line on a blind bend.
McBride pled guilty to driving carelessly on the B925 at Auchtertool on December 28 last year.
In addition to the penalty points, he was fined £400.

It’s brutal out here: Olivia Rodrigo bounces back after falling through an open trap door
It seems that Olivia Rodrigo took too many steps forward and not enough steps back before she fell through a trap door during a recent concert down under.
The Grammy-winning singer, 21, sparked concern among fans after video of the shocking moment from her final show in Melbourne made the rounds on social media. During her Monday concert, the “deja vu” and “vampire” pop star can be seen hyping up her fans. After riling up one side of the arena, Rodrigo attempts to run to the other side of the stage — but instead drops straight down through the stage.
Some fans cried out. Video taken from another angle seems to show the singer hanging onto the stage before she bounces back up and reassures fans. “Oh, my God. That was fun,” she says.
Opening her ‘Guts’ world tour at Palm Desert’s Acrisure Arena, Olivia Rodrigo celebrated turning 21 with a thrilling and raucous almost-hometown show.
“I’m OK,” she continues. “Sometimes there’s just a hole in the stage. That’s all right. OK, where was I?”
Despite Rodrigo’s tumble, the singer’s first round of shows in Australia were something to behold, the Rod Laver Arena said on Instagram. “A magical week in Melbourne,” the venue said ahead of Monday’s show. After Melbourne, Rodrigo heads to Sydney for another set of shows, this time at the Qudos Bank Arena.
Rodrigo left Melbourne with a bandaged thumb post-fall, according to 7News Australia. A representative for Rodrigo did not immediately respond to The Times’ request for comment.
The “High School Musical: The Musical: The Series” alumna carries on with her Guts world tour weeks after she made her debut in the Philippines. Rodrigo, whose mom is white and dad is Filipino American, told Billboard earlier this month about her Oct. 5 stop at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
Nominated for six Grammy Awards, 20-year-old Olivia Rodrigo is set to embark on her first-ever arena tour: ‘I need to work on my death-metal scream.’
“I’m so proud of my Filipino heritage, so being able to bring this experience to the Philippines means the world to me,” she said.
More than just a long-awaited homecoming of some sorts, Rodrigo’s Philippines show was also a fundraiser for the women’s health charity Jhpiego, in partnership with her Fund 4 Good. “It was the most special show and the most meaningful trip. to say I’m grateful doesn’t even cut it,” she wrote on Instagram.
“Mahal kita,” she said. For those hoping to brush up on their Tagalog during Filipino History Month, that means “I love you.”

AI revolution creates demand for hot new job: AI librarian
As AI reshapes business, including the business of HR, a new role is emerging that bridges the gap between human expertise and machine learning: the AI librarian.
It’s a job you may have never heard of, but chances are that, given time, you will. In fact, it is one of the hottest new roles to emerge from the explosion in generative AI, according to a report by Korn Ferry, whose AI lead characterized skills required for collecting, organizing and analyzing data as the “central nervous system of AI.”
The growing demand for AI librarians “highlights how the evolution of technology is creating roles that merge traditional skills like information management with modern demands in data-driven environments,” said Jaycee Schwarz, talent acquisition specialist at ad tech and fintech firm Prizeout.
Schwarz explained that with AI systems generating increasingly complex data, it’s not enough to just build and deploy such systems — companies need experts who can curate and translate the data into actionable insights. “It reflects a growing understanding across industries that managing the flow and structure of information is just as crucial as developing the technology itself,” she said.
Given how organizations are scrambling to secure scarce AI talent, hiring managers are attracting professionals like librarians and actuaries who have experience with data and can be taught the necessary AI skills, added Paul Farnsworth, chief technology officer at tech careers marketplace Dice. “As the need for AI talent increases, we may see more companies targeting these data-intensive jobs outside of traditional tech in order to secure the people they need,” he said.
What does it take to be an AI librarian? Ask Dougal Martin, head of knowledge and resident AI librarian at Deel, a global payroll and HR support company with 35,000 clients in 160 countries. Martin’s diverse background includes roles as a writer, insurance underwriter, and communications and marketing director. To service the informational needs of Deel’s extensive client roster, he manages a knowledge base of more than 20,000 articles with a team of 18 writers. Around 2,000 articles are added each month.
Among required skills, “empathy is a big one,” said Martin, as are a love of information and the ability to organize complex data and understand the needs of users.
Despite the job’s heavy reliance on technology, Martin emphasizes the critical role of human input. “The baseline infrastructure about content, the knowledge base has to be human generated,” he said. “A human performed that analysis. A human said, ‘This is what’s going to happen.’” He stressed that such a human-centric approach ensures accuracy and reliability, notably crucial in fields like HR where compliance and legal issues are at stake.
For HR professionals, particularly those dealing with a global workforce, the emergence of AI librarians and robust knowledge management systems is a game-changer, as they can provide quick access to up-to-date information on complex issues like international labor laws, payroll regulations and compliance requirements. “Every piece of bad information is a potential for error, is a compliance risk,” added Martin.
Managing a trove of information comes with unique challenges, according to Martin. “People in different countries use words differently, and when you translate…from one language to another, there’s really a high risk of misunderstanding,” he said, adding that such complexity underscores the need for human oversight in AI-driven systems.
As businesses navigate the AI revolution, it is a sure bet that roles like AI librarian will become increasingly vital, seeing that they ensure the vast potential of AI is grounded in reliably accurate information. For HR professionals, partnering with such knowledge experts can lead to more informed decision-making, better compliance, and ultimately more effective talent management.

Dubai: At least 55 Palestinians were killed in Gaza, and 41 more in Lebanon in the latest wave of Israeli attacks as Hezbollah threatened on Tuesday to attack targets across Israel.
Hezbollah’s deputy chief, Naim Qassem, said: “We will not be defeated. The Israeli enemy has targeted all of Lebanon, and we reserve the right to retaliate anywhere in Israel.”
He warned that over two million Israelis in the north would remain under constant threat if the conflict persists.
“I am telling the Israeli home front: The solution is a ceasefire,” he added.
US warns Israel
Also yesterday, the Biden administration ramped up pressure on Israel to address the escalating humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, warning that the US may take significant actions — including a possible suspension of military aid — if food and other assistance to Palestinians are not increased within a month.
The warning, according to Washington Post, was detailed in a letter sent to the Israeli government on Sunday, amid rising concerns over civilian casualties and the limited access for aid organisations in northern Gaza.
According to the US, aid deliveries to Gaza have plummeted by over 50 per cent since spring.
Worst aid curbs
The letter came as James Elder, spokesman for Unicef, condemned the dire humanitarian crisis, stating that aid restrictions in Gaza are the worst since the conflict erupted over a year ago.
He lamented the worsening conditions for children, noting that August saw the lowest level of humanitarian aid into the territory since the war began.
Meloni to visit Lebanon on Friday
In Rome, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni warned on Tuesday against withdrawing UN peacekeepers from Lebanon at Israel's unilateral request, as she announced she would visit Lebanon on Friday.
Meloni, who would be the first head of state or government to visit the country since an escalation between Israel and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah on September 23, told parliament that such a withdrawal would be a "serious error".
Earlier, Meloni, whose country holds the rotating G7 presidency, told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that Israeli fire against UN peacekeepers in Lebanon was "unacceptable".
At least five peacekeepers have been wounded in recent days as Israel targets Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon.
The United Nations peacekeeping mission, UNIFIL, which includes over 1,000 Italian troops, has accused the Israeli military of "deliberately" firing on its positions.
Meloni "reiterated the unacceptability of UNIFIL being attacked by Israeli armed forces" during a call with Netanyahu, her office said.
She "stressed the absolute necessity that UNIFIL personnel security be guaranteed at all times".
Barrage of rockets towards Haifa
In the latest exchanges during the conflict, Hezbollah said it launched a barrage of rockets towards the northern Israeli city of Haifa, while Israel carried out air strikes in several areas of Lebanon.
Hezbollah said its fighters also targeted Israeli bulldozers and a tank near a south Lebanon border village on Tuesday, as the two sides face off at the frontier.
Hezbollah fighters targeted "three bulldozers and a Merkava tank on the outskirts of Ramia with guided missiles", causing a fire and casualties, the Iran-backed group said in a statement.
Hezbollah’s deputy chief, Naim Qassem, declared defiantly: “We will not be defeated. The Israeli enemy has targeted all of Lebanon, and we reserve the right to retaliate anywhere in Israel.”

He warned that over two million Israelis in the north would remain under constant threat if the conflict persists.
“Since the Israeli enemy targeted all of Lebanon, we have the right from a defensive position to target any place” in Israel, “whether the centre, the north or the south,” he said.
“I am telling the Israeli home front: The solution is a ceasefire,” he added.
Iran warns US
In Iran, Brigadier-General Ebrahim Jabbari, an adviser to the chief commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said any US military support for Israel if it attacks Iran will lead to retaliation.
“The Americans should know that if one day they enter the battlefield and want to take action against the Islamic Iran, their bases, interests and ships will be within the reach of our weapons,” Jabbari told Iran’s Press TV.
The US “is not prepared at all to confront us, the axis of resistance and the Muslim world,” he said. Jabbari, however, added, the US was unlikely to take part in such a “foolish act”.
Israel’s military launched several strikes in Lebanon on Tuesday, including in the eastern Bekaa Valley where a hospital in Baalbek city was put out of service, Lebanon’s official National News Agency reported.
“It was a violent night in Baalbek, we have not witnessed a similar one since” the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, 50-year-old resident Nidal Al Solh told AFP.
At least 1,315 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel last month escalated its bombing there, according to an AFP tally of Lebanese health ministry figures, though the real toll is likely higher.
41 killed, Catastrophe in Lebanon
Lebanon said on Tuesday that 41 people were killed and 124 injured in Israeli strikes on Monday.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati told AFP in an interview on Tuesday that security had been tightened in the country's only airport in Beirut, to remove any pretexts for an Israeli attack.
"The government is doing everything in its power to remove any pretexts from the Israelis' hands," he said, adding that "tightened security has been in place for a week at the airport", located near Hezbollah's south Beirut stronghold that has seen intense Israeli bombardment.
Unicef and the World Food Programme warned in a joint statement on Tuesday that the fighting has “triggered a catastrophe”.
“We are preparing for the reality that the needs are increasing,” the agencies said. “We need additional funding, without conditionalities.”
Lebanese officials have said 1.2 million people have been affected by the conflict, in which Israel has conducted air attacks on Beirut and many other parts of Lebanon, as well as sending ground troops into the south.
“Around 1.2 million people have been affected, with a significant impact on vulnerable communities,” the statement cautioned. “Nearly 190,000 displaced individuals are currently sheltered in over 1,000 facilities, while hundreds of thousands more are seeking safety among family and friends.”
In addition, hundreds of thousands have crossed into Syria, the statement notes, further complicating the humanitarian response.
Another top Unicef official said more than 400,000 children have been displaced in the past three weeks, warning of a “lost generation” in the small country grappling with multiple crises and now in the middle of war.
Ted Chaiban, Unicef’s deputy executive director for humanitarian actions, has visited schools that have been turned into shelters to host displaced families.
“What struck me is that this war is three weeks old and so many children have been affected,” Chaiban told The Associated Press in Beirut.

Jurors are considering whether to convict or acquit a man accused of attempting to murder a four-month-old baby in Dundee.
Marc Lannen, 34, denies shaking the boy and leaving him with a head injury that required immediate, life-saving surgery.
The child suffered a subdural hematoma – blood collecting between the skull and surface of the brain – in August 2018 in a city flat while under Lannen’s care.
Lannen told the High Court in Dundee that the baby became unwell because he “soothed” him too much while holding him over his shoulder.
Five doctors previously told the court that the child’s injuries were not accidental and were as a result of “abusive head trauma” with one medic comparing the baby’s condition to a crash victim.
An eminent neurosurgeon said the boy “almost certainly” would have died had emergency surgery not been performed at Ninewells Hospital.
The boy was found with a midline shift – displacement across the central line of the brain – of around 2cm. A shift of 5mm is usually when emergency surgery is carried out to prevent death.
Multiple retinal haemorrhages in one eye were also discovered which is associated with serious trauma.
‘Wicked recklessness’
In her closing speech, advocate depute Leanne McQuillan urged the 15-person jury to take account of the medical evidence and said Lannen’s actions amounted to attempted murder.
The prosecutor said: “While not intending to kill him, what the accused did displayed wicked recklessness.
“At the time of inflicting the injuries, the actions of the accused were such that in that moment, he had complete disregard for the consequences of his actions and did not care, in that moment, whether (the child) lived or died.
“He was a four-month-old baby. Not mobile. It’s surely obvious that to shake a four-month-old baby or inflict an impact injury is extremely dangerous.”
Ms McQuillan added: “It’s especially apparent when you look at what the other doctors say about the nature of the shaking.
“The massive blood clot. The eye injury. The type of force generated in a high velocity car crash.”
The court was told how all five of the doctors who gave evidence cited shaking as the most likely scenario for the boy’s injuries.
Consultant paediatric radiologist Dr Michael Jackson said the mechanism of shaking would have to be “sustained” and “forceful”.
Question of reasonable doubt
Michael Meehan KC, defending, focused on whether or not the jury could be satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that his client intended to kill the child.
He highlighted the evidence of consultant paediatrician, Dr Sarah Clegg, who said that there did not need to be a high level of force to injure a four-month-old baby.
Mr Meehan said: “The force that could cause the type of injury in this case is not necessarily murderous.
“(Dr Clegg) explained that the force may just be a couple of shakes in a moment of anger.
“Being angry is no defence. When you are considering this question, if someone lived or died, I ask you to be careful.
“Does it therefore mean that a loss of control means there’s a wicked recklessness?”
Lannen, of Whitfield Rise, denies assaulting the child at an address in Dundee on August 23 2018 by shaking him, inflicting blunt force trauma to the head and cause injury to the head through unknown means.
It is alleged that this caused the child severe injury, permanent impairment, endangered his life and was an attempt to murder him.
Lord Young sent the jury out to consider its verdict just before 11am on Tuesday. The court was adjourned for the day at 12pm.
Deliberations will resume on Wednesday morning. The trial continues.

Teasing his upcoming solo era, Joe Jonas commanded the stage alone this past weekend to showcase music from his upcoming project Music for People Who Believe in Love. The intimate set took place at Alhambra in Paris, France, including performances of his latest single "What This Could Be."
The Camp Rock star also performed guitar and debuted unreleased songs from the project, including "You Got the Right" and "Constellation." With much anticipation brewing around this upcoming release, could the pop star expect a better critical response than his last solo venture?

Jonas' debut solo album Fastlife released in October 2011 and met commercial failure, going on to sell only 45,000 copies in the United States. This project followed the demise of The Jonas Brothers, as younger brother and bandmate Nick Jonas went on to pursue an ultimately successful solo career.
Hoping to contrast his band's signature pop-rock sound, Fastlife was strikingly R&B and the first by any Jonas Brother to include a Parental Advisory sticker. Despite fairly positive reviews from music critics, the commercial performance of the project was disappointing and impacted the artists' mental health. Sharing on Jay Shetty's "On Purpose" podcast that the album's response led him to a dark place, it kickstarted his therapy journey. "I started feeling like physically ill and I really told myself and I believed that I was sick."
Fortunately, the singer finally struck success with his group DNCE, with their 2015 single "Cake By the Ocean" reaching the top 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100. As the frontman of their funk-pop sound, Jonas was able to creatively experiment through DNCE until the reunion of The Jonas Brothers in 2019.
The brothers continue to bask in a successful second go-round, following two critically acclaimed studio albums and global tours. However, that hasn't seemed to scratch Jonas' itch to make something of his own. Music for People Who Believe in Love arrives amidst a highly publicized divorce from actress Sophie Turner, as the couple battle custody of daughters Willa and Delphine. It stands as an opportunity for him to tell his side of the story through a musical lens.
Despite history, there is much more hope for this new solo chapter. The Alhambra show also featured a cover of Addison Rae's viral single "Diet Pepsi," proving the singer is marketing to a younger demographic. Rooted in a state of confidence and ready to reclaim his narrative, Music for People Who Believe in Love may be the reintroduction Joe Jonas has long been wanting to make.

Albania will intake Italy’s asylum seekers, as a gesture of gratitude, but not other EU countries, PM says
Albania’s prime minister on Tuesday said his government had turned down many requests from other European Union countries to take in thousands of asylum seekers but made an exception for Italy.
An Italian navy ship was expected to dock at the Albanian port of Shengjin with the first group of 16 migrants who were intercepted in international waters and whose asylum applications will be processed in two centers in Albania instead of in Italy, under a five-year agreement between the two countries.
Prime Minister Edi Rama, speaking in Luxembourg at an EU conference, repeated that no other country will be able to operate asylum centers in Albania.
He said Albania felt an expression of gratitude for the tens of thousands of Albanians who were welcomed by Italy when communism fell in 1991, or support extended by Rome during the economic turmoil in 1997 and in the aftermath of the 2019 earthquake.
Experts say the agreement follows a worrying trend of European Union nations looking beyond the bloc’s borders to manage migration.
The Italian naval ship Libra left the port of Lampedusa in southern Italy on Monday with 16 men — 10 from Bangladesh and six from Egypt — who were rescued at sea after departing from Libya, according to the Italian government.
The number of migrants reaching Italy along the central Mediterranean route from North Africa has fallen by 61% in 2024 from 2023. According to the Italian Interior Ministry, as of Tuesday, 54,129 migrants have arrived in Italy by sea this year, compared to 138,947 in the same period last year.
Under a five-year deal signed last November by Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni and Rama, up to 3,000 migrants picked up by the Italian coast guard in international waters each month will be sheltered in Albania. They will be screened initially on board the ships that rescue them before being sent to Albania for further screening.
Giorgia Meloni traveled to Albania to thank its government for agreeing to host thousands of asylum seekers while Italy processes their claims.
The first center in Shengjin, 40 miles northwest of the capital, Tirana, will be used for screening newcomers and the other facility, about 14 miles to the east near the former military airport in Gjader, will accommodate migrants during the processing of their asylum requests.
Italy has agreed to welcome those who are granted asylum. Those whose applications are rejected face deportation directly from Albania.
The controversial agreement to outsource the housing of asylum seekers to a non-EU member country has been hailed by some countries that, like Italy, are suffering a heavy burden of refugees.
The agreement was endorsed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen as an example of “out-of-box thinking” in tackling migration into the EU, but has been slammed by human rights groups.
The visit comes after at least eight seaborne migrants died off the French coast over the weekend, trying to cross the English Channel.
“This dangerous model is not a sustainable solution, and must never become a blueprint for the EU’s approach to asylum and migration,” the International Rescue Committee said in a statement.
Susanna Zanfrini of the group’s office in Italy said the asylum centers are “costly, cruel and counterproductive, and have no place in a humane and sustainable asylum system.”
Meloni and her right-wing allies have long demanded that European countries share more of the migration burden. She has held up the Albania agreement as an innovative solution to a problem that has vexed the EU for years.

Hereditary nobles have sat in Britain’s Parliament for centuries. Their time may be up
Like his ancestors for centuries, the Earl of Devon serves in Parliament, helping to make the laws of the land. But not for much longer.
British lawmakers will vote Tuesday on a bill to strip hereditary aristocrats of the right to sit and vote in House of Lords after more than 700 years. The Labor Party government says the decision will complete a long-stalled reform of Parliament’s upper chamber and remove an “outdated and indefensible” relic of the past.
“In the 21st century, there should not be places in our Parliament, making our laws, reserved for those who are born into certain families,” Constitution Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds said Tuesday as he opened debate on the bill in the House of Commons.
He noted that Britain is one of only two countries — the other is Lesotho — with a hereditary element to its parliament.
But Lord Devon thinks it’s risky to tinker with the U.K.’s unwritten constitution, which “has survived an awful lot of slings and arrows of misfortune over a thousand years.”
Trump acolyte Nigel Farage, polarizing leader of a far-right party, is running for British Parliament. Could he lead a MAGA-like takeover of Conservatives?
“The fact that I am doing a job that was granted by the Empress Matilda to my forebear in 1142, and is still ongoing and is still functioning, is a remarkable example of consistency and continuity,” said the earl, a 49-year-old lawyer whose given name is Charles Peregrine Courtenay.
Britain’s Parliament has two chambers: the House of Commons, whose members are directly elected by voters in 650 constituencies across the U.K.; and the unelected Lords. For centuries it was made up of noblemen — women were not allowed until 1963 — whose voting rights were passed down to their children along with their titles. In the 1950s these were joined by “life peers” — retired politicians, civic leaders and other notables appointed by the government.
In 1999 the Labor government of then-Prime Minister Tony Blair evicted most of the more than 750 hereditary peers from the Lords, though to avoid an aristocrats’ rebellion, 92 were allowed to remain temporarily.
A quarter-century on, 88 hereditaries are still there, an all-male group with an average age of almost 70. When one dies or retires, their fellow bluebloods hold elections to replace them. Courtenay joined the House of Lords in 2018 after winning an election in which there were 19 candidates and 31 eligible voters.
The election’s expected booting out of Britain’s Conservative party would end 14 years of rule. Economic discontent and immigration top voter concerns.
Peers who sit in the ornate, gilded Lords chamber do not get a salary but can claim 361 pounds ($472) a day in expenses and can enjoy Parliament’s subsidized bars, tea rooms and restaurants. It’s a job for life, unless members choose to retire or — in a recent change — are expelled for non-attendance.
The appointment of peers by successive governments means the Lords is overstuffed, with about 800 members — the second-largest legislative chamber in the world after China’s National People’s Congress.
The opposition Scottish National Party has filed a motion to abolish the House of Lords altogether, though that stands little chance of passing. Labor remains committed eventually to replacing the Lords with “an alternative second chamber that is more representative of the U.K.”
While more Lords support the Conservatives than any other party — others, like Courtenay, are nonaligned — some on the left of British politics have come to value the upper house for its role in helping to moderate controversial plans by the previous Conservative government over Brexit and immigration.
Labor’s large House of Commons majority means lawmakers will almost certainly vote Tuesday to send the bill on for further scrutiny, despite Conservative misgivings.
“The checks and balances of the Lords — its tried and tested conventions — work,” said Conservative lawmaker Oliver Dowden, a former deputy prime minister. “We should only fix what is broken and be cautious about rushing into change.”
New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer takes power after his Labor Party’s landslide election win over Britain’s longtime ruling Conservatives.
To become law, the bill also has to get through the House of Lords, which has the power to delay and amend legislation approved by the Commons, but ultimately can’t block it. It is likely to become law in the coming year.
Courtenay, who owns Powderham Castle and its 3,500-acre estate in the southwest England county of Devon, is sanguine about becoming the last in his storied family to sit in Parliament.
“We were responsible for crowning Henry VII. We fought alongside the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy, and we financed the Agincourt campaign in 1415. And we were first cousins of Henry VIII until he chopped our head off,” he said. “So we’ve been somewhat involved in the workings of government over a long, long time.
“And outside of those moments in the spotlight, there’s been an awful lot of plodding along, trying to support Devon and help the community … a long and satisfying service, which will continue.”
Lawless writes for the Associated Press.

New Delhi: The latest in a string of hoax bomb threats made to Indian airlines forced an Air India plane to make an emergency landing in Canada, the airline said Tuesday.
The passenger aircraft, flying from India's capital New Delhi to Chicago, was the subject of "a security threat posted online" and as a "precautionary measure" has landed at Iqaluit Airport in Canada, Air India said.
The aircraft and passengers were being "re-screened as per the laid down security protocol," the company said.
"Air India notes that it, and other local airlines, have been subject to a number of threats in recent days",it added.
"Though all have subsequently been found to be hoaxes, as a responsible airline operator all threats are taken seriously."
Indian media reported that an Air India flight from Mumbai to New York was diverted mid-air to New Delhi after a false alert on Monday.
Similar hoaxes were received by India's low-cost operator IndiGo regarding two flights that were to take off - to Jeddah in Saudi Arabia, and to Muscat in Oman, according to Indian media.

NASSAU, BAHAMAS- Deputy Prime Minister Chester Cooper will lead negotiations for air service agreements with 20 nations at the upcoming 16th ICAO Air Services Negotiation (ICAN2024) event in Malaysia, to enhance air travel connectivity, promote economic growth, and attract more international air stopover visitors.
These bilateral agreements aim to create a framework for increased airlift, improved international connectivity, and enhanced competition among airlines operating between The Bahamas and the respective countries.
“Air connectivity is vital for the growth of our tourism industry, which is the backbone of our economy. By engaging with our international partners at ICAN 2024, we will open new avenues for travel, foster business relationships, and ultimately create jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities for our people as we engage new markets,” said Cooper.
The potential to enter into air services agreements with over 20 countries will enhance air travel connectivity, promote economic growth, and attract more international air stopover visitors.
In addition to the negotiations, the Bahamian delegation will participate in discussions on best practices in aviation, sustainability, and the future of air travel.
“With The Bahamas already renowned for its rich array of natural beauty and cultural heritage, participation in this event will further leverage us as the ideal travel destination that also ranks high among the global leaders in the aviation, travel, and trade sectors,” said Deputy Prime Minister Cooper.

Abu Dhabi: Abu Dhabi has been confirmed as the second location for the iconic Las Vegas Sphere, officials announced on Tuesday.
Sphere Entertainment Company, listed on the NYSE, and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi will collaborate to bring the ground-breaking entertainment venue to the UAE's capital. Set to become a significant landmark in Abu Dhabi’s entertainment landscape, the Sphere promises to deliver next-generation immersive experiences.
The first Sphere, a 20,000-seat music and entertainment arena, opened in Las Vegas in September 2023. The venue features a 16K resolution wraparound interior LED screen, advanced speaker systems with beamforming and wave field synthesis, and 4D physical effects, offering an immersive experience for concerts, events, and shows.
While no construction or opening dates have been announced for the Abu Dhabi Sphere, the expansion is expected to drive substantial growth and generate new revenue streams, capitalising on Sphere Entertainment’s proprietary technology and expertise. The company statement said Abu Dhabi Sphere would be in a ‘prime spot’ in the capital city. Sphere Las Vegas welcomed more than 24 million visitors in 2023.
Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, Chairman of DCT Abu Dhabi, said, “Sphere Abu Dhabi will seamlessly integrate advanced technology with captivating storytelling, creating unforgettable memories for everyone who visits.”
Al Mubarak said, “This partnership aligns with our Tourism Strategy 2030, further establishing Abu Dhabi as a vibrant hub for culture and innovation. By embracing cutting-edge entertainment like Sphere, we're elevating our global profile and setting new standards in immersive experiences and cultural offerings.”
“Under the terms of the partnership, which is subject to the finalisation of definitive agreements, DCT Abu Dhabi will pay Sphere Entertainment a franchise initiation fee for the right to build the venue, utilising Sphere Entertainment’s proprietary designs, technology, and intellectual property,” the statement added.
“Construction will be funded by DCT Abu Dhabi, with Sphere Entertainment’s team of experts providing services related to development, construction, and pre-opening of the venue,” it said.
“The vision for Sphere has always included a global network of venues, and today’s announcement is a significant milestone toward that goal,” said James L. Dolan, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sphere Entertainment.
After the venue opens, Sphere Entertainment plans to maintain ongoing agreements with DCT Abu Dhabi. These will likely include annual fees for licensed creative and artistic content, such as Sphere Experiences, and the use of Sphere's brand, patents, technology, and intellectual property. Sphere Entertainment will also provide operational services for the venue and offer commercial and strategic advisory support.

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 popular research service can help you become a smarter, more self-assured investor, giving you access to daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens.
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
Finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth Score
While good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum Score
Momentum trading is all about taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook, and these investors live by the saying "the trend is your friend." The Momentum Style Score can pinpoint good times to build a position in a stock, using factors like one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates.
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.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +25.41% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
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.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Shake Shack (SHAK)
Founded in 2001, Shake Shack, Inc. is a New York-based fast food hamburger restaurant chain. Shake Shack restaurants operate in the United States and internationally. The company operates and grants licenses for Shake Shack restaurants, commonly known as "Shacks". Here they present a menu featuring burgers, chicken, hot dogs, crinkle-cut fries, shakes, frozen custard, beer, wine and additional offerings.
SHAK is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of B.
Momentum investors should take note of this Retail-Wholesale stock. SHAK has a Momentum Style Score of A, and shares are up 5.8% over the past four weeks.
Two analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2024, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0 to $0.73 per share. SHAK also boasts an average earnings surprise of 39.6%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Momentum and VGM Style Scores, SHAK should be on investors' short list.

The dispute between Haason Reddick and the New York Jets could soon be coming to an end. The team has given Reddick permission to seek a trade, which means the disgruntled pass-rusher could soon be on his way out of New York.
Although the Jets are open to trading Reddick, there is one major detail that's throwing a wrench into things: The Jets can't easily trade him to an NFC team. According NFL insider Josina Anderson, if the Jets decided to ship Reddick off to an NFC team, they'd have to also send a 2026 second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles, who dealt Reddick to the Jets in the offseason.
That means there are now 15 teams the Jets might be hesitant to trade with due to this stipulation (Due to NFL rules, the Jets aren't allowed to trade Reddick back to the Eagles, so only 15 of the 16 NFC teams could make a trade for him).
When the Jets originally made the trade for Reddick back in March, they sent a conditional 2026 third-round pick to the Eagles that would become a 2026 second-rounder if Reddick recorded 10 sacks or was on the field for 67.5% of the Jets' defensive plays. At this point, it's pretty clear that Reddick is not going to hit those conditions, but the Eagles still have a chance to see the third-round pick bumped up to a second-round pick, thanks to the rare clause that was included in the trade by Philadelphia general manager Howie Roseman.
For the Jets, general manager Joe Douglas probably agreed to that part of the deal with the belief that there was no way it would be triggered, but seven months later, it's looking like it might happen. The Eagles decided to deal Reddick away because he wanted a new contract and after he got traded to New York, he clearly thought he was going to get a new deal from the Jets, but that hasn't happened, which has led to a long holdout that's cost him more than $5 million.
Reddick got fired by his agency last week, but now has a new agent after hiring Drew Rosenhaus. The well-known agent will now have his work cut out for him as he calls around the league to find a landing spot for Reddick.
The Jets are now stuck in a lose-lose situation: They can send Reddick to the NFC and lose a second-round pick or they can send him to the AFC and help a team that they might end up competing with for a playoff spot.

GloRilla is in career mode and not mommy mode.
The rising rap superstar sat down with Charlamagne Tha God, where she reveled that men have tried to trap her into having a child. The conversation came up when Charlamagne asked GloRilla on his Out of Context show about lyrics in her song, "Procedure."
In the song, she raps: "B--ch, I'm big mama, but ain't none these n---as worth my womb / This n---a tryna get me pregnant, I need to tie my tubes (On God)."
This led Charlamagne to ask GloRilla if men have tried to trap her by getting her pregnant.
"Yeah," she responded.
GloRilla further explained herself by saying she does want to have kids "but not my own kids."
"I want to do the surrogate. I want somebody else to have my baby. I want them to have my DNA but I don't want to have it," she shared.
Charlamagne pushed GloRilla to explain herself more, leading her to explain why she does not want to be pregnant.
"All of my friends got kids and ... they restricted a lot when they pregnant. I'm like, 'No, I don't want to go through that,'" she revealed.
While Charlamagne tried to rectify the situation by saying that it is just for a few months, GloRilla was not having it and said that it was "too long."
This is not the first time that GloRilla has opened up about pregnancy in her music. On "Nut Quick," GloRilla seemingly admitted to having an abortion, rapping: "Found out I was pregnant, got it gone, and I ain't f--k since." She has not revealed who the biological father of that child was.
GloRilla has had a big year so far. She just released her debut album, Glorious, which includes features from Megan Thee Stallion, Sexyy Red, Latto and more. The project is also home to the hit songs "TGIF" and "Hollon." The former was a top 30 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at No. 28.

Taylor Swift has two forthcoming releases planned to commemorate the final leg of her massive "Eras Tour," and they'll both be available exclusively at Target for Black Friday 2024.
Come Nov. 29, Swifties will be able to get their hands on the first-ever vinyl/CD edition of the complete "The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology" set, as well as the official "Eras Tour Book," a new tome collecting the pop star's personal writings and never-before-seen photos from the ongoing trek that's taken her across the globe for the last two years.

"This tour has been the most wondrous experience," Swift continued, "and I knew I wanted to commemorate the memories we made together in a special way. Well, two ways actually."
She explained, "Excited to announce that The Official Eras Tour Book, filled with my own personal reflections, never-before-seen behind the scenes photos, all the magical memories you guys brought every single night AND .... The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on vinyl and CD will all be available for the first time ever only at Target starting Nov 29th."

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) AD04 Program Aligned with NIAAA's New Inclusion of Non-Abstinence Solutions, Validating Commercial and government market Potential
GLEN ALLEN, Va., Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADIL) (“Adial” or the“Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapies for the treatment and prevention of addiction and related disorders, today applauded the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) for its newly updated definition of recovery. The new definition, outlined and emphasized in NIAAA's 2025 Professional Judgement Budget (PJB) as reported to the U.S. Congress following an original introduction in an NIAAA PJB, emphasizes a broader, non-abstinence approach to recovery, which aligns directly with Adial's AD04 program, which has the potential to offer patients the flexibility of reducing drinking and/or abstinence.
NIAAA's updated definition underscores a growing clinical outcome goal and recognition that effective recovery solutions need not be solely abstinence based, opening the door to therapeutic options that focus on harm reduction and improved quality of life. AD04, Adial's lead investigational product for alcohol use disorder (AUD), is designed to support patients seeking flexible treatment that could offer reduction in drinking and/or abstinence recovery paths, making it a promising candidate to meet the evolving market needs. This recognition and further emphasis in the FY 2025 Professional Judgement Budget by NIAAA is validation of Adial's approach as meeting the NIAAA's new standard for recovery, broadening Adial's significant commercial and government market potential.
“AD04 is uniquely positioned to provide a therapeutic option for those seeking a reduction in alcohol use and/or complete abstinence,” said Cary Claiborne, CEO of Adial Pharmaceuticals.“With NIAAA's focus shifting to include non-abstinence recovery approaches, we are optimistic that this will stimulate additional support for programs like AD04, not only within commercial markets but also from government initiatives. The alignment of AD04's development and the NIAAA's updated perspective offers a promising future for those suffering from AUD, providing them with more personalized, flexible treatment options.”
About Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Adial Pharmaceuticals is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapies for the treatment and prevention of addiction and related disorders. The Company's lead investigational new drug product, AD04, is a genetically targeted, serotonin-3 receptor antagonist, therapeutic agent for the treatment of Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) in heavy drinking patients and was recently investigated in the Company's ONWARDTM pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial for the potential treatment of AUD in subjects with certain target genotypes identified using the Company's proprietary companion diagnostic genetic test. ONWARD showed promising results in reducing heavy drinking in heavy drinking patients, and no overt safety or tolerability concerns. AD04 is also believed to have the potential to treat other addictive disorders such as Opioid Use Disorder, gambling, and obesity. Additional information is available at .
If you are interested in exploring partnership opportunities with Adial, we invite you to reach out to us (...) to discuss how our joint efforts can bring about positive change in the millions of patients who are struggling with addiction.

Court papers allege that Wilkins caused the man severe injury, endangered his life and attempted to murder him. Wilkins appeared on petition at Dundee Sheriff Court. A separate charge alleges that Wilkins was found in possession of a knife on the same date and at the same location. Wilkins, of Saggar Street, made no plea in connection with the allegations on petition when he appeared from custody. Following the private hearing, he was released on bail after being committed for further examination by Sheriff George Way. For more local court content visit our page or join us on Facebook.

The New York Jets have had an eventful two weeks -- really an eventful 24 hours. After firing head coach Robert Saleh last Tuesday and losing to the Buffalo Bills by a field goal on Monday, the Jets acquired Las Vegas Raiders star wideout Davante Adams via trade in exchange for a conditional third-round pick.
The Jets are also reportedly taking on the entirety of Adams' remaining contract, as they continue to take aggressive steps in correcting this 2-4 start. This trade took place on the first day of the NFL's Fall League Meetings, so Jets owner Woody Johnson was available to discuss his newest offensive playmaker.
"I think he adds to the running game, he opens up everything," Johnson told reporters, via The Athletic. "Particularly having that relationship with the quarterback, that's very important."
The Jets were always considered the favorite to land Adams because of his relationship with Aaron Rodgers. New York traded for Rodgers two offseasons ago to compete for Super Bowls, but the Jets have won just two of six games this year.
Johnson was asked how quickly his team can turn it around after a 2-4 start, and if he thinks the Jets can still win a championship this year.
"You know, thinking is overrated," Johnson responded with a smile. "You have to look forward. You have to look forward to the games we're gonna play each and every week, and try to win all of them. And that's basic stuff, right?
Johnson then quoted one of the great cinematic masterpieces of our lifetime: "Talladega Nights."
"Think 'Talladega Nights,' you heard of that?" Johnson asked. "Remember that one scene, he said, 'You're not a thinker, you're a driver!' And a lot of times it is, you just have to go with your instinct. What's the best thing to build a winning team, and most importantly build a culture. A culture of winning. And I think based on what I saw yesterday, I think we're starting a new and more exciting direction."
Some, including Bill Belichick, believe Johnson has been a bit impulsive with his decisions over the past 14 days, but the Jets owner is clearly trying to grab a hold of that line between speed and chaos, and "Wrestle it to the ground like a demon cobra," as Susan once instructed Ricky Bobby.

Chris Brown's upcoming shows in South Africa have not happened yet, and they are already being met with criticism.
A woman's rights advocacy group has launched a petition to keep the "Forever" singer from taking to the stage in the country due to his history with abuse.
The petition was launched on October 2, and already has over 32,000 signatures and it aims to stop Brown from performing in the country. Brown previously pleaded guilty in 2009 to assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna and was sentenced to felony assault and accepted a plea deal. The deal included community labor, five years' probation and domestic violence counseling, Billboard reports.
Since then, Brown has pleaded guilty to a separate assault. In that case, a woman alleged Brown sexually assaulted her, but the case was settled out of court, Variety reports.

That is not the only history of violence that Brown has as last year the singer reportedly beat up a man at a London nightclub. The plaintiff claimed Brown hit him in the face with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila and knocked him unconscious. The victim was repeatedly sent to the hospital and had lacerations on his head.
His past legal troubles have been in the headlines so much that they are now the subject of a new documentary to be released on October 27 called Chris Brown: A History of Violence.
The documentary is set to explore Brown's history of assault allegations. In the trailer for the documentary, a new accuser has come forward against the singer, though their identity remains hidden.
Brown has not responded to the petition against him. So far, his show in December is set to continued as planned. In fact, the concert sold out so well that a second show was added, the BBC reports.

Dundee double killer Robert Stratton has died behind bars.
Stratton was serving a life sentence for stabbing two people at a family vigil when he died at Low Moss Prison in Glasgow on Sunday.
Police say the 50-year-old’s death is not being treated as suspicious.
Stratton murdered mum-of-three Julie McCash and killed 32-year-old David Sorrie in Mid Craigie’s Drumlanrig Drive in February 2017.
He was handed a minimum sentence of 23 years for Ms McCash’s murder and the culpable homicide of Mr Sorrie.
The pair, who were cousins, were attending a family vigil for teenager Ralph ‘Ralphie’ Smith on February 26.
Ralph, 18, had gone missing and tragically fell to his death from cliffs in Arbroath.
His mum, Nicola Duffy, was being comforted by friends and family including Stratton and his partner Lee Kinney.
However, things turned sour after the pair were asked to leave following an argument.
Stratton returned to his own house nearby and re-emerged with two knives, which he used to stab Ms McCash and Mr Sorrie.
The then-42-year-old fled the scene before handing himself in to police.
He was found guilty of the double killing after a trial at the High Court in Edinburgh in September 2017.
Attack on prison officer and inmate
In 2018 the killer was sentenced to further jail time and told he would not be freed until at least 2045 after admitting slashing an inmate and wounding a prison officer at HMP Grampian in Peterhead.
A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “Police were made aware of the death of a 50-year-old man at HMP Low Moss, Crosshill Road, Glasgow on Sunday, October 13.
“There are not believed to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death and a report will be sent to the Procurator Fiscal.”
When approached by The Courier the families of David Sorrie and Julie McCash declined to comment.
The Scottish Prison Service has been approached for comment.

A Dundee fashion designer has made her debut at London Fashion Week – with help on the runway from her grandad and uncle.
Robyn Green, 22, is behind clothing brand GADGIE, which takes inspiration from her working-class upbringing in the city.
The former St John’s High pupil showcased her first collection, HAME, at London Fashion Week last month as part of her master’s degree at the Jimmy Choo Academy.
Models taking to the catwalk included her 66-year-old grandad Eric Cox and uncle Steven Cox, 36.
Robyn aimed to pay tribute to “the people and communities that shaped me into who I am today” while her brand name, GADGIE, pays homage to ned culture.
Her designs feature a mix of menswear, with each look inspired by different people she found herself surrounded by while growing up in Dundee.
This included her great-gran, “ned culture” and football hooligans.
London Fashion Week ‘a shock to the system’ for Dundee designer Robyn
Robyn told The Courier: “It has all been a shock to the system.
“I moved to London for a year to do my masters with the Jimmy Choo Academy and it meant I was able to show at London Fashion Week.
“It felt like it didn’t sink in, I was running about like crazy sorting all the models and then when my stuff was going out I realised it was all happening.
“It was a whole year of work leading up to it and then it was over in a few minutes.”
Robyn’s grandad Eric was decked out in Gangster Gladrags – a striped sweater vest and upcycled Scotland flag shorts – while uncle Steven wore an outfit named Football Fooligan – upcycled shorts made from football scarves with a matching scarf.
Most models took to the catwalk with cans of Tennents in hand, while one carried a “granny trolley” fabricated with tea towels.
Robyn added: “When my grandad came out he got a huge cheer.
“I wanted to use models of diverse ages because it is inspired by growing up in council estates and by my family.
“I don’t think my grandad realised how big it would be, he thought it was a small presentation, then when he got to London I told him it was in front of 600 people.
“But he was loving it when he was on the runway.
“My uncle also took part and was wearing the football scarf look.
“The collection is called Hame and it’s inspired by different people I found myself around growing up, people I would see in Dundee – my great gran, ned culture and football hooligans.”
@_gadgie Debut collection “HAME” at London Fashion Week 2024 where we represented the Jimmy Choo Academy. Check us out over on Instagram @_gadgie to see some bts of the show and the Scottish collaborators we worked with throughout the year! 🏴 @JCA London . . . #jimmychoo #londonfashionweek #emergingfashiondesigner #menswearbrand #debutcollection #newgen #scottishfashion #scottishcreative #scottishbrand #jimmychoo #creativescotland
After leaving school, Robyn originally studied fashion and textiles at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen.
Despite plans to travel after graduation, she was offered a scholarship at the Jimmy Choo Academy in London to study a master’s degree in fashion entrepreneurship and brand innovation after being scouted at an event.
Robyn said: “I was planning on going travelling after finishing my undergrad but someone from the academy contacted me after I took part in an event in London.
“They asked if I would be interested in the master’s and I just went for it, it was the best decision I have made.
“When I first found myself in London I had impostor syndrome, I felt like a wee stupid girl from Scotland.
‘If there are fashion weeks in London and Paris, why not in Scotland?’
“But my show got a great response. Before that, I was comparing myself and thinking about how my collection was more light-hearted than the others.
“I just moved back to Dundee three weeks ago and my next step is getting a studio here, I have seen a couple of places and I am just waiting to hear back.
“I want to base myself in Scotland and create a community in Scotland for designers and creators.
“We shouldn’t need to travel to London and different places to work in this industry.
“If there are fashion weeks in London and Paris, why not in Scotland?”

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Opposition leader Michael Pintard is holding the Davis administration accountable for unfulfilled promises regarding the sale of the Grand Lucayan Hotel and the construction of the Grand Bahama International Airport.
In a statement, Pintard noted that Prime Minister Philip Davis assured the Bahamian people three weeks ago that the Grand Lucayan Hotel would “finally, this time for sure” be sold within two weeks.
“That pledge followed more than two years of similar idle promises from this rudderless PLP regime. Yet, to the surprise of no one, his earnest deadline has come and gone, and the people of Grand Bahama are left disappointed once again. The Grand Lucayan remains unsold. We recall sadly that this is the same hotel that DPM Chester Cooper proclaimed was sold back in May 2022 for an eye-popping $100 million. More than two years later, the PLP ‘flam’ continues,” said Pintard.
He added: “The people of Grand Bahama—and indeed the entire Bahamas—also recall the many promises, pledges, and commitments to begin work in earnest on the new Grand Bahama airport. Yet, besides some demolition of the interior of the international terminal, nothing is happening. More PLP ‘film and flam.’ As is standard for the PLP, they talk a big game but cannot deliver.”
Pintard also accused the Davis administration of violating the law, noting that, after again promising to constitute the Fiscal Responsibility Council, the administration remains in open breach of its own Public Finance Management Act.
“There remains no functioning Fiscal Responsibility Council. There are thus no legally mandated independent reports on the government’s financial and budgetary performance. By now, we can only conclude that this is deliberate. The PLP do not want the oversight any more than it wants the public to examine its decisions and actions in office under a functioning FOIA.”
He further accused the Davis administration of being in breach of its own Public Procurement Act. “Sizeable contracts are being awarded without competitive bids, contrary to the law. The government refuses to disclose the details of winning bids for central government and public corporation contracts. They have no excuse because they continue to break the law. The fact that the PLP government does not want its affairs to be subject to public scrutiny tells Bahamians that this administration must have something to hide,” said Pintard.
He concluded: “When returned to office, an FNM administration under my leadership will immediately begin to enforce all existing laws related to accountability and transparency. We will also enact new laws with teeth to ensure that no future government will be able to follow the PLP’s current practice of squandering tax dollars under cover of darkness and silence of the public service.”

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.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores?
The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning 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
While good value is important, growth investors are more focused on a company's financial strength and health, and its future outlook. The Growth Style Score takes projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow into account to uncover stocks that will see long-term, sustainable growth.
Momentum Score
Momentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM Score
What if you like to use all three types of investing? The VGM Score is a combination of all Style Scores, making it one of the most comprehensive indicators to use with the Zacks Rank. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, which helps narrow down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank
A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create 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.
With more than 800 top-rated stocks to choose from, it can certainly feel overwhelming to pick the ones that are right for you and your investing journey.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To maximize your returns, you want to buy stocks with the highest probability of success. This means picking stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B. If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
Here's an example: a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one with Style Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings outlook, and a bigger chance its share price will decrease too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
Stock to Watch: Tenet Healthcare (THC)
Founded in 1967 and headquartered in Dallas, TX, Tenet Healthcare Corp., is an investor-owned health care services company, which owns and operates general hospitals and related health care facilities for urban and rural communities in numerous states, and has offices in California and Florida. The company has investments in other health care companies and is one of the largest investor-owned health care delivery systems in the United States.
THC is a #3 (Hold) on the Zacks Rank, with a VGM Score of A.
Additionally, the company could be a top pick for growth investors. THC has a Growth Style Score of B, forecasting year-over-year earnings growth of 53.6% for the current fiscal year.
Two analysts revised their earnings estimate higher in the last 60 days for fiscal 2024, while the Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased $0 to $10.72 per share. THC also boasts an average earnings surprise of 58.5%.
With a solid Zacks Rank and top-tier Growth and VGM Style Scores, THC should be on investors' short list.

Crews have been spotted in St Andrews filming scenes for a major production.
The filming – understood to be for an upcoming adaption of Jay Parini’s “novelised memoir” Borges and Me – took place in the Fife town this week.
Crews took to Hope Street and West Sands Beach on Tuesday shooting scenes using classic cars and horses.
St Andrews transported back to 1970s as film crews descend
The movie, starring Fionn Whitehead, Luis Gnecco and Alan Cumming, follows Parini’s journey chauffeuring blind Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges through Scotland in 1970.
In the novel, Parini is introduced to Borges as a doctoral student in St Andrews.
Filming for the adaption reportedly started in Scotland last month.
One passer-by said: “It was wonderful to see St Andrews being used as a filming backdrop.
“It is so exciting to see something a little bit different in the town.
“There were lots of old-fashioned cars and everyone was in costume, it is really interesting to watch.”
Crews were also at West Sands Beach shooting scenes with actor Fionn Whitehead.
The scenes appeared to involve horses galloping on the beach, while rocks were also rearranged near the shoreline.
Film crews previously descended on St Andrews to shoot scenes for award-winning drama The Crown.
And earlier this month, crews set up in Arbroath for what was rumoured to be a Netflix adaptation of Frankenstein.

Vanguard® Oil Guard™ System Now Available On John Deere™ Zero-Turn Mower Series
Date
10/15/2024 9:17:49 AM
(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Z900 mowers feature 500-hour oil change technology from Briggs & Stratton
MILWAUKEE, WI, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Oil Guard System from Vanguard - a Briggs & Stratton brand - will be leveraged on new models of the Z900 Series zero-turn mowers from John Deere. With the collaboration, users of the John Deere Z965M, Z965R and Z985R zero-turn mowers will benefit from the Oil Guard System's industry-leading 500-hour oil-change technology.
Designed to extend equipment life and reduce maintenance costs, the Vanguard Oil Guard System significantly reduces downtime for landscape professionals and offers up to 60 percent savings on maintenance costs*. The system's easy-fill cap and integrated oil filter make oil changes easier, cleaner and faster. Oil Guard boasts a robust 192-oz system capacity to help keep both the oil and engine cooler.
The mower models will also benefit from Vanguard electronic fuel injection (EFI) and electronic throttle control (ETC) technologies. The Vanguard EFI system provides exceptional fuel efficiency and quick load acceptance while the Vanguard ETC system offers smooth and consistent power with any load size or terrain type. Vanguard EFI/ETC and Oil Guard technologies will come standard on the John Deere Z965M, Z965R and Z985R mower models.
Equip Expo attendees can get an in-depth overview of the system by visiting the Oil Guard interactive display in the indoor Briggs & Stratton booth (#5016).
"We're proud to see Vanguard and our Oil Guard technology used by such a prominent name in zero-turn mowers," said Randy Ballard, global vice president of sales at Briggs & Stratton. "When we introduced Oil Guard, our goals were to complement the innovative technology from our OEM customers and to make landscaping work easier and more efficient for end-users. The Vanguard Oil Guard System achieves these goals by extending oil life and keeping landscapers working longer. This aligns perfectly with John Deere's commitment to quality, efficiency, and customer-focused features."
To learn more about Vanguard and see the company's latest engine innovations, visit the Briggs & Stratton indoor booth (#5016) and outdoor booth (#6480D) at Equip Expo October 15-18.
*Cost savings based on standard oil maintenance with 100-hour interval versus Oil Guard System 500-hour service interval.

71% Of US Consumers Play Video Games, According To Circana’S 2024 Gamer Segmentation Report
Date
10/15/2024 9:17:49 AM
(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) The majority of players are aged 45+, led by women, while kids aged 2-12 are experiencing the steepest declines in engagement
Chicago, IL, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Circana TM, a leading advisor on the complexity of consumer behavior, released its 2024 U.S. Gamer Segmentation report , revealing that 71% of U.S. consumers play video games, with strong adoption across all demographic segments. The report also found that the average video game player uses at least three different devices, with 92% of gamers playing on their smartphone or tablet. However, 46% of video game players spent zero dollars on video game products during the past six months.
“During the pandemic, we saw a surge in incidental players who added gaming to their routines as public activities were put on hold; however, since then, many of these players have reversed course as life returned to normal,” said Mat Piscatella , video games industry advisor at Circana.“Despite a decline in overall player numbers, what stands out in today's gaming landscape is that the most dedicated gamers have stayed – and they're spending both more time and money in the experience. Adapting to today's new and more mature market normal will be necessary to avoid another stumble.”
Here are some key takeaways from the report:
Boomers and older adults are the largest population in gaming. Adults aged 45 and older account for 37% of total U.S. video game players – mainly driven by women and an increased interest in console gaming. While it remains the largest share of gamers, engagement for this cohort decreased for the first time since 2018, but still experienced the most growth of any segment in terms of average spending over 2022.
Gen Alpha is less engaged than you might think. Children aged two to 12 had the most significant decline of any age group, down -6%, since 2022. On the other hand, while the average video game spending for teens and young adults is down slightly, these young players remain the industry's most valuable age group in terms of both time and money spent.
All hail the“Super Gamers.” Accounting for 16% of total U.S. gamers and growing from 36 million in 2022 to 38.3 million players today, the“Super Gamers” are the industry's most valuable consumers. This gamer segment, mostly made up of young males from the ages of 13 to 34, plays heavily across multiple platforms and spends significant amounts of money on gaming.

I’m just back from 12 days in Denmark and Sweden with the Ambassador Cruise line which sailed from Dundee.
When travelling it’s impossible not to compare life here with other cities and countries; that’s how we learn what we’re doing right, what we’re getting wrong, and what we might do to improve things.
In both Scandinavian countries I saw hardly any graffiti, no beggars, and no buskers, and the levels of street cleanliness was miles ahead of our increasingly tatty and dirty thoroughfares.
The one big difference I also saw was that many more folk live in their city centre areas.
Unlike cities like Dundee and other UK towns, I found Copenhagen and Aarhus in Denmark, and Stockholm in Sweden were all busy vibrant city centres heavily populated with people living downtown.
That sustains a café, club, and restaurant culture, and genuine feel of being cities which are built for both work and play.
I firmly believe we need to bring back that sense of busyness and vitality to Dundee city centre which at nights is often like a ghost town.
It would be a huge economic and social boost to the city if we could convert empty space above shops and business premises into living accommodation, and if we made a determined effort to bring back such a sense of life and energy to the centre of town by substantially increasing the numbers of folk living there.
More city centre residents would bring buzz back to Dundee
Older Dundonians still wax lyrical about the great bustle and throng which historic areas like the Overgate, Scouringburn, and Hawkhill, once teemed with.
If we could re-create that today with a large city centre population with modern housing facilities it would recreate that sense of buzz which older Dundee folk still get dewy eyed about.
It was very interesting hearing the views of those on the ship who’d visited the city on previous cruises.
The folk I spoke to were all enthralled by their visits to the RRS Discovery, and Verdant Works was a big hit too.
There was a sense that both attractions told a story about the city and its people, both in the remarkable quality of the construction of the ship, which Scott and his crew sailed to one of the planet’s most inhospitable places; and in the hard manual graft and tough conditions which the city’s jute workers endured for low wages.
The V&A though, while impressing in design, was found by many to contain too little of interest in too large a space.
Arrival in most ports which by nature are industrial unattractive places isn’t a cruise highlight, and owners Forth Ports should improve the makeshift marquee facilities with a permanent more hospitable structure to welcome visitors to the city.
Sprucing up the facilities with a proper terminal building might attract more cruise ships, generating increased tourist income.
There were also lessons to be learned not just from our European neighbours.
The last stop before Dundee was in Tynemouth just outside Newcastle.
It’s a pretty little town with lots of bohemian cafes and shops and a great indoor market at the Metro station selling everything from Newcastle Utd merchandise to second hand Levi’s, to fresh roasted coffee and artisan bread.
It was choc-a-bloc with many of the 1,200 cruisers as well as customers from all over Tyneside.
It reminded me of the glory days of Dens Road Market, and Lorne Street Market where I once had a stall selling cheesecloth shirts and T shirts; it rekindled my memories as a once budding Del Boy.
A similar attraction would be a great asset to Dundee.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Offering speeds up to 6,400 MT/s, two times faster than DDR4, Micron's first-ever CUDIMM and CSODIMM memory solutions offer the performance boost needed for AI computing
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced the availability of a brand-new category of clock driver memory with the launch of its Crucial® DDR5 clocked unbuffered dual inline memory modules (CUDIMM) and clocked small outline dual memory modules (CSODIMM), which are now shipping in volume. The JEDEC-standard solutions run at speeds up to 6,400 MT/s (megatransfers per second), more than twice as fast as DDR41 and 15% faster than traditional non-clock-driver-based DDR5.2 Designed to provide more speed stability, faster downloads and better refresh rates, these solutions represent a completely new frontier of memory form factors for next-generation PCs. Micron's CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions are the industry's first commercially available JEDEC-standard DDR5 CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions to hit the market since JEDEC standardized the specification earlier this year.
In addition, Intel has validated Micron DDR5 CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions up to capacities of 64 gigabytes (GB) for use with its Intel® CoreTM Ultra processors (Series 2), which were launched last week on Oct. 10 .
“As AI takes flight, a memory paradigm shift is needed to keep pace with unprecedented system performance requirements,” said Dinesh Bahal, corporate vice president and general manager of Micron's Commercial Products Group.“Micron is shipping the industry's first JEDEC-standard, commercially available DDR5 CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions to power fast, out-of-the-box speeds for AI PCs and high-end workstations. With this new category, we are arming the ecosystem with next-generation memory solutions to future-proof today's devices for tomorrow's AI workloads.”
While DDR5 offers rapid speeds, scaling challenges have made it difficult to deliver DDR performance increases while ensuring reliable high speeds and signal integrity, especially when combining high bandwidth with large capacity. Representing an evolution of traditional UDIMMs, the new category of CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs feature a clock driver directly on the memory module to stabilize speeds. While most systems today rely on the clock from the CPU, using innovative engineering, Micron has directly integrated the clock driver into the memory module to conquer electrical challenges at the root, making memory faster and more stable.
The validation of these new client memory modules by Intel will empower top PC manufacturers and integrators to begin adopting Micron's innovative clock driver-based memory into forthcoming PC platforms. Notably, Micron is the first memory vendor to validate 32 gigabit die-based 64GB CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions for Intel® CoreTM Ultra desktop processors . This enables system capacities up to 256GB for AI PCs and high-end workstations, which demand high memory densities and performance.
“Micron and Intel have been working together to bring next-generation compute performance to the market,” said Dimitrios Ziakas, vice president of memory and I/O technologies at Intel.“The powerful combination of Intel Core Ultra desktop processors and Micron's latest clock driver-powered CUDIMM/CSODIMMs with up to massive 64 GB capacities will be critical to helping propel the next wave of data-rich AI PCs to 6400 MT/s speeds. By aligning our strategies and co-validating, we are offering the most advanced memory and CPU products to our customers and the market and accelerating ecosystem adoption of future-looking form factors."
The 6,400MT/s speeds provided by Crucial's plug-and-play DDR5 CUDIMM and CSODIMM memory offer an out-of-the-box performance boost to AI PCs and other data-hungry workloads, whether users are upgrading from a DDR4 system or looking to increase DDR5 performance. The CUDIMM solutions are suited for desktop computers and the CSODIMM solutions for laptops.
Consumers will be able to purchase the CUDIMM and CSODIMM solutions in 16GB capacities through Crucial.com , which will come with a limited lifetime warranty.3 Capacities of 64GB will be available for purchase through the channel during the first half of calendar year 2025.
With the addition of DDR-based CUDIMMs and CSODIMMs, Micron continues to expand its memory portfolio with form factor and performance innovations to power next-generation PCs, including AI PCs, and increasingly demanding workloads.

First Minister John Swinney says there is “no justification” for a strike set to close schools in his Perthshire constituency for two weeks.
Primary schools and early learning and childcare (ELC) settings will likely close during the planned walkout from October 21.
The council hopes secondary schools will be able to remain open.
Mr Swinney told The Courier he remains deeply concerned and disappointed by the strike action taken by Unison, which is targeting his Perthshire North constituency.
The trade union says it wants to “bring home” the importance of finding a fair pay settlement.
John Swinney ‘deeply concerned’ over Perth school strike
Mr Swinney said: “I remain deeply concerned and deeply disappointed by this situation.
“I believe there is no justification for this industrial action that will target the parents and pupils of Perthshire North when what was asked for by the unions had been delivered – and accepted by members of two of the three unions concerned.”
Two other unions have both voted to accept the pay rise offered, but Unison says it is out of line with what has been offered to other public sector workers.
Government told to halt ‘severe decline’ in council funding
Unison’s Perth and Kinross branch secretary Stuart Hope said the SNP government must tackle the “severe decline” in local government funding.
He said previously: “Taking action like this is the last thing school and early years staff want to do.
“Employees are taking this first stand on behalf of all local government workers because they’ve seen a decade of pay cuts and they see other sectors being offered deals of greater value.
“A fair pay deal should have been in place from 1 April, but six months later it’s still not been agreed.
“Instead, the employer has imposed a wage rise rejected by a majority of the workers Unison represents. Yet again local government staff are being forced to strike to simply get fair pay.”

Coal India (CIL), in a first ever, introduced online signing of Fuel Supply Agreements (FSA) for power as well as non-regulated sector (NRS) customers participating under linkage based auctions. With this move, CIL has done away the earlier practice of physical submission of official papers and bank guarantees and other required documents can be submitted in digital mode.
Formalization of FSAs electronically makes the entire process paper less. For business ease, CIL has also cut down the number of documents that were required to be submitted.
Click here to connect with us on WhatsApp
The online signing of FSAs for linkage auctions effectively saves lot of time for customers and evades the cumbersome process of physical submission of voluminous documents. It ushers in greater customer ease as they can conduct the entire process from their place of work without having to visit the coal companies said a senior executive of the company.
Once the FSA bidding process is complete NRS customers are provided a 90 day window, without penalty, to submit their documents. Previously, in case of any discrepancy in documents the customers had to visit the coal company from their respective stations to get them rectified. Now the fillip is, this can be done online in reduced time frame avoiding physical visits.
CIL signs hundreds of FSAs annually necessitating maintenance of bulky documents. The present electronic arrangement makes the upkeep much easier. Since the documents are stored digitally, tracking the status of progress also gets simplified at supplier and customer ends. Greater transparency in the system is another big advantage.
For NRS customers where sub-sectors include sponge iron, captive power plants, cement, steel and others the online validation of FSAs has begun from Tranche VII. Syngas producers subsector has been introduced recently to the list. Among NRS so far, a total of nearly 700 FSAs have been formalized online for a total of about 19 million tonnes (MTs) of coal.
More From This Section
In case of power sector 262 FSAs have been signed digitally till now for a total quantity of around 24 MTs.

He also previously led three of the industry's top IFM and Occupier Services platforms, including leadership of Global Occupier Services at Cushman & Wakefield and similar roles at CBRE and Johnson Controls.

Based in New York, McCarthy brings more than 20 years of global marketing and communications experience to the role of North America CMO. Most recently, McCarthy was Chief Marketing Officer of Unispace Group, a global workplace strategy, design, and construction leader, where she shaped the company's post-COVID brand and marketing vision for workplace experience, while driving global expansion and diversification into new segments.

AST SpaceMobile, Inc. ASTS recently disclosed some fine print on how it plans to bill customers for availing its cellular satellite service. This Midland, TX-based broadband service provider, which is transforming connectivity with direct-to-cell technology leveraging the first & only space-based cellular broadband network, intends to charge users as a monthly add-on and through a "day pass" system that consumers can opt for whenever needed.
The monthly add-on feature will charge a fixed monthly rate to add AST SpaceMobile as a supplemental service to an existing cellular plan and will automatically connect with its network upon entering an area without cell tower coverage. The day-pass option will trigger a notification message to customers the moment their phone travels outside a carrier’s ground-based network and will ask subscribers if they wish to turn on the SpaceMobile service. On approval, users will get connected to AST SpaceMobile’s orbiting satellites that offer low latency and high connectivity to closely mirror terrestrial cellular architecture.
Although the exact chargeable amount is yet to be divulged, AST SpaceMobile has taken the market by storm. With a diverse portfolio of more than 3,450 patent and patent-pending claims worldwide for the direct-to-cell satellite ecosystem from space to Earth, AST SpaceMobile’s remarkable transformation in recent months offers a competitive edge across the broader technology market.
How ASTS Hogged the Limelight
The SpaceMobile service is compatible with all major brands available in the market and connects directly to everyday mobile phones. It is based on a novel technology that delivers broadband connectivity from space to unmodified mobile devices, providing a service to fill cellular coverage gaps in a differentiated approach compared to other existing space-based communication services.
AST SpaceMobile has partnered with leading carriers such as AT&T Inc. T and Verizon Communications Inc. VZ to tap into a pre-existing pool of cell customers as well as avail funds to help build a worldwide satellite network. With AT&T, ASTS has entered into a definitive commercial agreement, extending until 2030, to provide a space-based direct-to-mobile technology to complement and integrate with the former’s mobile network. This approach aims to provide customers with connectivity in locations previously deemed unreachable, enhancing AT&T’s industry leadership in utilizing emerging satellite technologies.
ASTS also collaborated with Verizon, wherein the latter made a $100 million commitment for satellite direct-to-cellular service for its customers. The two back-to-back deals sent the ASTS stock price soaring. It further enhanced cellular coverage in the United States, essentially eliminating dead zones and empowering remote areas of the country with space-based connectivity.
ASTS Riding on Bluebird Satellites
AST SpaceMobile has successfully sent its first five commercial satellites in low Earth orbits, marking a key advancement in developing a space-based mobile network infrastructure. Dubbed Bluebird, these satellites have the largest-ever commercial communications arrays spanning 693 square feet. They offer non-continuous service across the United States using more than 5,600 cells within the premium low-band spectrum.
This achievement follows the success of AST SpaceMobile's in-orbit BlueWalker 3 satellite. It marks significant progress in the company's mission to create a space-based cellular broadband network that directly links with mobile devices, eliminating the need for ground-based infrastructure. By expanding its connectivity to remote areas, the company aims to ensure that more people have access to vital communication services.
Price Performance of ASTS
ASTS has gained a stellar 1107.7% over the past six months compared with the industry’s growth of 16.9%. It has also outperformed its peers like Aviat Networks, Inc. AVNW and Comtech Telecommunications Corp. CMTL over this period.
Six-Month Price Performance
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
ASTS Income Statement Bleeds Red
Owing to high infrastructure set-up costs and research and development expenses for a highly sophisticated technology for developing satellites, AST SpaceMobile has reported losses for the past few years. Management also envisions significant expenditures in the upcoming months for building and launching the next crop of satellites in tune with its expansion plans to serve the full spectrum of U.S. subscribers. This has made ASTS a high-risk investment option.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Estimate Revision Trend of ASTS
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for AST SpaceMobile for 2024 and 2025 has widened 164.1% and 165.4%, respectively, to a loss of $1.03 and a loss of 51 cents per share over the past year. The negative estimate revision depicts pessimism about the stock’s growth potential as investors remain skeptical about the success of its business model.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
End Note
The collaboration with leading carriers is seen as a pathway to unlocking the potential of space-based cellular broadband, promising seamless, reliable service across the continental United States. The successful launch of the Bluebird satellites is expected to transform network connectivity and help bridge the digital divide, expanding its global presence and enhancing AST SpaceMobile’s capabilities in providing ubiquitous connectivity.
However, with a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), AST SpaceMobile appears to be treading in the middle of the road, and new investors could be better off if they trade with caution. The downtrend in estimate revisions further portrays skepticism about the company’s business model. It has also incurred losses over the past couple of years and is not likely to overcome this trend in the near future with high infrastructure investments being lined up. Consequently, it might not be a prudent investment decision to bet on the stock at the moment. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

St Johnstone have signed Croatian centre-back, Bozo Mikulic.
A deal has been agreed with the 27-year-old through to the end of the season, the Perth club has confirmed.
Mikulic is a free agent but a work permit will be required before he is officially a Saints player.
New head coach, Simo Valakari, knows him well, having worked with Mikulic when he was the manager of FK Auda in the Latvian top flight.
The left-sided defender, 6ft 4in tall, has shown in training at McDiarmid Park and a closed-doors game against Hibs last week that he is in good condition.
Mikulic is a former Croatia under-19 international.
He has played for both RNK Split and Hadjuk Split and spent two spells in Italy, the first at Sampdoria.
“I’m excited and I will give my maximum to every match and training,” said Mikulic. “I know I need to give 100% for the team.
“I expect this to be a very difficult league physically, with many good teams. It is a great step in my career, I’m happy to be here and hopefully we have a good season ahead of us.
“It means a lot to sign for St Johnstone. I’ve been through several different countries and cultures and that has made me a lot stronger as a player and as a person.
“Simo was my coach two years ago and now being able to sign here is something amazing for me. I look forward to playing in front of our fans.”

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Known for his confidence and ability to deliver under pressure, the former NFL quarterback and auto enthusiast is coaching today's drivers in new digital campaign
BOSTON, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CarGurus (Nasdaq: CARG), the No. 1 visited digital auto platform for shopping, buying, and selling new and used vehicles1, today launched a new campaign with NFL legend Drew Brees focused on helping today's drivers feel even more confident and prepared during the car buying and selling process. The“Keys to Success” campaign taps Brees-who is known for his ability to deliver under pressure both on and off the field-to empower all drivers in getting“game day-ready” to feel assured they're getting the best deal and are in control through the car buying and selling process.
“CarGurus helps today's shoppers get ready for their big moment by providing access to thorough vehicle information, the most extensive deal ratings, and the most new and used cars so you know you're getting the best deal possible,” explained Brees.“So much of performing at a high level is about focusing on the process and having the tools that instill confidence so that by the time you step on the field-or into the dealership-you're ready to make things happen.”
As one of the largest financial commitments today's consumer can make, purchasing a car can be daunting for many. According to a recent CarGurus study2, many game-time decisions can erode a shopper's confidence:
The top three factors that can cause someone to second-guess their car purchase are 1) Not being sure what makes for a fair price (39%); 2) Feeling rushed to make a decision (37%); and 3) The general stress of making such a big purchase/commitment (36%). Nearly two-thirds (61%) of buyers said that negotiating a price is one of the most intimidating aspects of buying a car. Mirroring the trend seen for car buying, 50% of respondents said the most intimidating aspect of selling or trading in a car was getting the most money.
“Known for his rigorous mental and physical preparation during his professional football career, Drew's winning combination of steady confidence and rigorous research both on and off the field makes him the perfect confidence coach for today's drivers, and a natural partner for CarGurus,” said Dafna Sarnoff, CarGurus Chief Marketing Officer.“Car shoppers can identify with Drew's mindset of gathering the best information and tools available to feel confident that they are getting the best deals for their unique individual needs.”
The“Keys to Success” campaign will be featured on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, and other digital video placements. See here to learn more about the campaign.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Witness an Industry-First at FABTECH: X-Ray Quality Welds with Zero Operator Intervention with Novarc's NovEyeTM Autonomy (Gen 2)
VANCOUVER, CANADA, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Novarc Technologies Inc., a full-stack robotics company specializing in the design and manufacturing of cobots and computer vision AI for automated welding applications, will demonstrate the company's smart vision and image processing system NovEye Autonomy Gen 2 at FABTECH Orlando , October 15-17, 2024, at Novarc's Booth #W4062. This industry-first technology fully automates the pipe welding process by integrating state-of-the-art AI algorithms with advanced robotic controls while maximizing productivity and delivering the highest quality welds.
“NovEye Autonomy Gen 2 is the result of years of data collected combined with machine learning which makes it a truly adaptive welding solution with real-time vision processing and advanced intelligence to fully automate the pipe welding process,” says Soroush Karimzadeh, CEO of Novarc.“We are excited to showcase this product at FABTECH in Orlando.”
NovEye Autonomy Gen 2 is the only AI machine learning real-time vision processing system that constantly improves welds based on data collection and model enhancement. NovEye Autonomy gets smarter as it continuously improves through a terabyte-scale library of welding videos, ensuring unmatched precision and reliability.
NovEye Autonomy Gen 2's technology is based on machine learning and data collected through Novarc's fleet of Spool Welding Robots (SWRTM ) at customer sites in North America, Europe, the Middle East and Australia. The technology has undergone extensive internal and external testing to ensure all of the features are performing and the weld quality meets ASME standards.
In addition to NovEye Autonomy Gen2, Novarc will also be demonstrating its flagship product, the Spool Welding Robot (SWRTM ), as well as NovAI TM and SWR+HyperFill® :
Novarc's Spool Welding Robot (SWRTM ) allows fabricators and mechanical contractors to win more projects and improve margins on those projects, through three to five times improvement in carbon steel pipe welding productivity, and up to twelve times on stainless steel pipes, with less than one per cent repair rates and an average ROI of six to 18 months. Scheduled demos of the SWR on Carbon Steel Pipe, Stainless Steel Pipe and using SWR+HyperFill® , the company's highly efficient dual torch system that increases heavy fabrication productivity to 350-500 Factored Diameter Inches (FDI) per shift by increasing weld deposition rates, will be available. An exciting addition is Novarc's newest innovation, NovAI TM , which will also be demonstrated. NovAI uses AI and robotic vision to perform adaptive welding. NovAI watches the weld pool and adapts to changing conditions in real time through seam tracking, weave adaptation and adjusting weld parameters to achieve the optimal weld.
Novarc will also have samples available from pipes welded with SWR-TIPTIG , which enables welders to obtain a 2.6 X increase in weld deposition rate, allowing fabricators to increase productivity, weld quality and consistency.
Automation is key to the welding industry, which is facing pressure to provide the infrastructure needed to build a better world. Novarc's solutions help solve the welder shortage, and the company's new smart vision and image processing technology is unlocking the plateau in robotic welding productivity due to lack of perception. Novarc's SWR reduces human exposure to all welding hazards, positioning the operator several meters away from the welding arc and noxious welding fumes. With NovEye Autonomy Gen 2, operators can program the weld, walk away, and observe the weld away from the arc, reducing the risk of exposure to dangerous fumes and radiant heat. As well, muscle fatigue is reduced as the welding process is fully automated: ultimately, a win-win for welders, fabricators and contract manufacturers, enabling X-ray quality welds with zero operator intervention.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Expanded Offerings Improve Security Posturing and Provide Strong Defenses Against Identity-Based Threats
LAS VEGAS, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today at Oktane2024, Zscaler and Okta announced four new integrations designed to accelerate their mutual customers' zero trust transformation. By delivering end-to-end, context-aware security, Okta and Zscaler are helping customers reduce risk, improve the user experience, and enable cross-domain response through shared telemetry and threat intelligence.
“The integrations announced today significantly deepen our collaboration with Okta and our commitment to keeping our customers secure,” said Amit Raikar, Vice President, Technology Alliances and Business Development, Zscaler.“Together, we are focused on helping customers strengthen their zero trust security posture in an increasingly complex risk environment, where rigorously managing user identities and enforcing adaptive access controls is more crucial than ever.”
“In the AI era, the only way to effectively protect customers is by rallying the security ecosystem. Point security solutions address individual areas but don't integrate with one another, which increases complexity,” said Stephen Lee, vice president of Technical Strategy and Partnerships at Okta.“That's why Okta and Zscaler have invested in deep integrations that accelerate the zero trust journey and elevate the security posture of our mutual customers worldwide.”
Organizations continue to navigate the complexities of securing the growing number of remote users, cloud applications, and hybrid IT environments. Both Zscaler and Okta are committed to delivering deep integrations that enhance secure access to cloud and web applications while minimizing user disruptions. Our newest integrations deliver:
Adaptive Access Policy Enforcement : The Zscaler Adaptive Access and Okta integration allows organizations to enforce context-based access policies that dynamically adjust based on the changing risk context of the user. These include password expiration, credential compromise, account recovery, or high-risk user behavior. Zscaler's ingestion of Okta's user risk telemetry expands upon an earlier integration, where Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI ingests risk telemetry from Zscaler Deception to respond to credential compromise or insider attacks. With the new integration, risk telemetry is exchanged bidirectionally between Okta and Zscaler, enhancing threat detection and response.
Dynamic Step-Up Authentication : The Zscaler Adaptive Access can trigger step-up authentication with Okta Workforce Identity Cloud (WIC) to add an extra layer of security when Zscaler detects higher-than-usual risky user behavior. In such scenarios, step-up authentication dynamically requires the user to comply with stronger forms of authentication before access to sensitive resources, such as Salesforce, is granted.
Security Data Contextualization and Unified Vulnerability Management: Zscaler's Data Fabric for Security enriches and aggregates data from Okta logs with concurrent data streams to provide contextualized, real-time insights into vulnerabilities and exposures across the enterprise ecosystem. Easy to set up and configure, this solution provides a dynamic risk assessment of an organization via a simple dashboard to accelerate security remediation.
Zero Trust Partner Access: Zscaler's Zero Trust Exchange cloud security platform, with natively integrated cloud browser isolation (CBI), enables secure, agentless access to web applications. It allows external third-party users and partners to instantly access corporate resources from their devices, while protecting enterprise applications and preventing data loss. Okta complements this by streamlining identity and access management (IAM) for IT administrators with Okta Universal Directory. This enables them to manage users and policies, automate app assignments, and onboard more securely and quickly.

Wholesale prices decreased 1.6 percent year-on-year in September, following the 1.1 percent drop in August. Wholesale prices have been falling since May 2023. EUR/USD pair currently trades around 1.0940, up marginally on the day after testing two month low of 1.0910 in intraday moves.

5 middle school students fall ill after possible ingestion of cannabis-laced edibles
By Dean Fioresi
Click here for updates on this story
LOS ANGELES (KCAL, KCBS) — Five middle school students reportedly fell ill at a school campus in Northridge on Monday after they possibly ate cannabis-laced edibles, according to firefighters.
Los Angeles Fire Department crews were called to Nobel Charter Middle School, located in the 9900 block of Tampa Avenue, at around 2:20 p.m. after learning of the incident, according to a statement from the department.
They were called in regards to five female students that began to feel sudden sickness, the statement said.
While all five of the students were reported to be conscious and breathing upon firefighters’ arrival, hree of the girls were taken to a nearby hospital in fair condition. The other two were released to their parents or guardians after they were evaluated at the scene.
It’s unclear exactly what the students may have eaten that made them fall ill.
“Today, we became aware that five of our students may have consumed a banned substance. Emergency personnel were contacted, and students received medical attention,” said a statement from Los Angeles School Police. “The Los Angeles School Police Department is currently investigating this incident, and we are actively working with our local health partners.
In the statement, officers urged parents to talk with their children about substance abuse and the dangerous side effects that could come from the use of controlled substances.
“We need your help to educate our students about the harms that drugs can cause,” the statement said.

The National Zoo’s long dark panda drought is coming to an end.
Eleven months after the zoo sent its three wildly popular pandas — Mei Xiang, Tian Tian and their cub Xiao Qi Ji — back to China, a new pair of bears arrived in the United States on Tuesday. They will be transported from Dulles International Airport in suburban Virginia to the zoo.
A pair of three-year old giant pandas, named Bao Li and Qing Bao, have left a research facility in the southwestern Chinese city of Dujiangyan and will soon be flown to Washington, according to a statement by the China Wildlife Conservation Association.
“Food prepared for the trip includes corn bread, bamboo and carrots, as well as water and medicine,” the statement said, adding that the partnership will “make new contributions in protecting global biodiversity and enhance the friendship of the people from the two countries.”
Once the bears arrive in Washington, there will likely be an extended quarantine and acclimation period before they are introduced to the public. On Monday evening, the zoo’s website posted an alert that the entire facility would be closed Tuesday, without giving a reason. The lead article on the site still said the pandas would be coming sometime before the end of the year.
Bao Li (precious vigor) and Qing Bao (green treasure) arrive in Washington as part of a new 10-year agreement with Chinese authorities. The previous deal expired last year, leading to some concern among American panda-lovers that Beijing was gradually pulling its furry friendship ambassadors from American zoos amid rising diplomatic tensions.
Breeding pairs in zoos in Memphis and San Diego had already returned to China earlier and the four pandas in the Atlanta zoo left for China last week.
That anxiety turned to optimism last November when Chinese President Xi Jinping publicly stated a desire to continue the panda exchange programs. This year, a new pair of bears has been delivered to the San Diego Zoo, while another pair has been promised to San Francisco.
In Washington, National Zoo officials remained conspicuously silent about negotiations for a new panda agreement, but they expressed optimism about striking a new deal and launched a multimillion-dollar renovation of its panda enclosure in anticipation. Then in late May, zoo director Brandie Smith teamed up with first lady Jill Biden to announce that Bao Li and Qing Bao would be arriving by the end of this year.
The Chinese announcement said the National Zoo had sent “three experienced keepers and veterinary experts” to China to assist the transport and accompany the bears.
Zoo officials on Monday declined to confirm the Chinese announcement. Zoo spokesperson Jennifer Zoon said in an email, “For the safety of animals and staff, we are not able to confirm any details at this time.” But signs at the zoo and on its social media site have heralded the planned return of the pandas and panda-themed merchandise still dominates the gift shops.
“The giant pandas are an iconic part of the Washington, D.C., story, both for locals and incoming travelers alike,” said Elliott L. Ferguson, II, president and CEO of Destination DC. “The interest and excitement associated with their return directly benefits the entire city, bringing further interest and visitors to our hotels, restaurants and other attractions.”
The exact terms of the deal are still unclear; under previous 10-year agreements the Chinese government receives $1 million per year, per bear. Any cubs born in overseas zoos are typically returned to China before they reach age four.
Pandas have become one of the unofficial symbols of the nation’s capital, dating back to 1972 when the first pair — Ling Ling and Hsing Hsing — were sent as a gift from Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai following President Richard Nixon’s historic diplomatic visit to China. Later, a rolling series of 10-year cooperation agreements was struck.
Liu Pengyu, a spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington, credited the decades of cooperation with advancing research into panda preservation and breeding. During the lifespan of these agreements, giant pandas have been reclassified from an endangered species to merely vulnerable.
“The current round of cooperation will focus on prevention and treatment of major diseases, and protection of habitats and wild giant panda populations,” Liu said in an email. “We hope the arrival of the pandas will inject fresh impetus into exchanges between China and the U.S., and help to stabilize the broader bilateral relationship as well.”

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has again lamented the state of Nigeria, noting that the nation has squandered God’s gifts.
Obasanjo said at the 40th anniversary celebration of the Methodist Archdiocese of Abuja on Sunday that Nigeria was never meant to struggle.
“We have all we need to thrive,” the former Nigerian leader stressed, echoing the message of Methodist Prelate Dr Oliver Aba, who earlier highlighted the importance of appreciating God’s blessings.
“As God created other nations and equipped them with resources, he equally blessed Nigeria. Just as Egypt has the River Nile, Nigeria has the Rivers Niger and Benue, along with crude oil, fertile land, and an abundance of natural resources.
“I firmly believe God did not create this country to struggle.
“We have been given everything by the almighty, but it is up to us to recognise and appreciate these gifts especially when so many nations are not as fortunate as we are.”
The octogenarian urged Nigerian leaders, clergy and citizens to seek divine guidance and healing for the country, acknowledging that the nation’s plight is not the fault of God but a result of human mismanagement.
“We have squandered the gifts he gave us but if we humble ourselves and turn to him, I am confident he will heal our land,” Obasanjo added.
President Bola Tinubu was represented at the event by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
The celebration also saw several distinguished individuals honoured with the prestigious Knights of John Wesley award, recognising their contributions to society.
Among the honourees were Obasanjo, former Head of State General Yakubu Gowon, Tinubu and his wife Senator Oluremi Tinubu, former President Goodluck Jonathan, Secretary to the Government of the Federation George Akume, and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Oct. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAGA Metals Corp. (the“Company” or“SAGA”) , a North American exploration company focused on critical mineral discovery in Canada, is pleased to announce that, further to its news release dated July 2, 2024, it has completed the Acquisition (the“ Acquisition ”) of a 100% interest in 606 mining claims covering an area of 31,347.76 hectares in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Québec, referred to as the Amirault Lithium Property (the“ Amirault Property ”).
The Amirault Lithium Property & Legacy Lithium Project: The Largest Contiguous Land Holdings in Eastern James Bay, Quebec
The Amirault Lithium Property is contiguous to SAGA's Legacy Lithium Project, expanding SAGA's land holdings to 1,274 claims across 65,849 hectares (658 square kilometers). This acquisition significantly enhances the Company's position in a high-potential lithium-bearing region, with prospective pegmatite formations along the same discovery trend as Winsome Resources, Azimut Exploration, Rio Tinto, and Loyal Lithium (See Figure 1).
Growing Lithium Opportunity
This acquisition strengthens SAGA's foothold in the eastern district of James Bay, one of Canada's most promising lithium exploration regions, where major companies are validating the area's potential with ongoing discoveries and exploration successes including:
Winsome Resources' Adina Lithium project announced its preliminary economic assessment with an indicated resource of 60.5Mt at 1.14% Li2O and inferred resource of at 1.17% Li2O. Read More. Loyal Lithium's Trieste project continues to take shape with the discovery of a seventh spodumene pegmatite dyke increasing its trend to a 22km stretch of high lithium prospectivity. Read More. Azimut Exploration and Soquem complete systematic till sampling highlighting new prospective zones with cumulative length of ~18km with boulders grading up to 5.36% Li2O. Read More. Midland Exploration in partnership with Rio Tinto announced $5.8M drill program on the Iceberg Showing which has already confirmed high-grade lithium up to 7.2% Li2O and spodumene-bearing pegmatites on the Galinee project. Read More.
Figure 1: A map of the“Lithium Neighborhood” at the Legacy Lithium Project in Quebec
The Legacy Lithium project as shown in Figure 1 is subject to the option to joint venture agreement signed with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada on June 27, 2024.
The Rio Tinto Partnership: Under the Option Agreement, Rio Tinto Exploration Canada (RTEC) has the option to acquire a 51% interest in SAGA's Legacy Lithium Project over four years if it meets the following conditions: C$410,190 cash payment to SAGA (received by SAGA in August 2024). C$9.57 million in exploration spending, with at least C$1.71 million committed within the first 20 months. Annual cash payments of C$68,365 (totaling C$273,460 ) and additional payments of C$225,000 for claim acquisitions owed by SAGA to the original property vendors.
Once RTEC earns the initial 51% interest, it has the option to increase its stake to 75% over five more years by spending an additional C$34.18 million on exploration. RTEC will oversee the project during both the first and second option periods, and a joint technical committee will plan the exploration programs.
Exploration in Motion: Fieldwork conducted by Rio Tinto Exploration Canada is ongoing, with a focus on pegmatite mapping and sampling as well as geophysical surveys across the property. The option agreement with Rio Tinto is a major growth driver for SAGA.
Michael Garagan, CGO & Director of SAGA Metals, commented:“We are excited to announce the official closing of the Amirault acquisition, expanding SAGA's foothold in the eastern section of James Bay to the largest contiguous land package at over 65K hectares. While RTEC operates boots on the ground programs at Legacy, we look forward to confirming the prospective nature of the Amirault claims which run contiguous to Legacy and Loyal Lithium as seen in this release.”
The Amirault Lithium Property Acquisition Terms:
On May 17, 2024, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the“ Asset Purchase Agreement ”) and a royalty agreement (the“ Royalty Agreement ”) with the two arm's length private vendors in respect of the Acquisition. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company paid $200,000 cash ($100,000 to each vendor) and issued 4,000,000 common share (2,000,000 per vendor) (the“ Consideration Shares ”) as consideration for the Amirault Property. Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement, the Company granted the vendors a 2.0% gross overriding royalty (1.0% for each vendor).
The Consideration Shares are subject to contractual restrictions on resale (the“ Lock-up Restrictions ”), pursuant to which 10% of the Consideration Shares were released upon closing of the Acquisition and 15% of the Consideration Shares will be released every six months thereafter for a total period of 36 months. No finder's fees or commissions were paid in connection with the Acquisition.

Katich to continue in charge of Manchester Originals men's team
Stephen Parry let go after two seasons as head coach of Originals women
Matt Roller
15-Oct-2024 • 32 mins ago
Manchester Originals have handed Simon Katich a one-year contract extension after a season in which his men's team won only once, but Stephen Parry has been let go after two years in charge of their women's side.
The decisions over the two coaches' futures were made by the Originals board, which has been restructured to reflect their closer ties with Lancashire from 2025. The county will become majority shareholders in Originals next season, when they are handed a 51% stake by the ECB, with the other 49% set to be sold to a private investor.
Mark Chilton, Lancashire's director of cricket, has been given responsibility to lead the recruitment process for Parry's successor as women's head coach as a result. James Sheridan, who is on the Lancashire board, has also taken over from the broadcaster Mark Chapman as Originals' chair, though Chapman will remain on the board.
Katich, the former Australia batter, has coached Originals men since the Hundred's inaugural season in 2021, and said he had "unfinished business" after agreeing to return in 2025. "I have absolutely loved my time leading the Manchester Originals over the last three years and I'm already looking forward to next year," Katich said.
Originals were runners-up in the 2022 and 2023 seasons of the men's Hundred, losing tight finals against Trent Rockets and Oval Invincibles. But they failed to overcome the absence of the injured Jos Buttler this year, finishing seventh after winning only one of their eight matches with Phil Salt deputising as captain.
"We were all disappointed with how this season went, particularly after coming as close as we did in 2022 and 2023," Katich said. "I feel we have unfinished business given the events of the last three editions of the Hundred and all of us at the Originals will ensure that we get back on track next year… We are determined to win it for Manchester."
Parry, meanwhile, has been replaced after his side finished sixth in the women's Hundred this season. Originals are the only women's team who have not reached the knockout stages in any of the tournament's first four editions, and are hoping to appoint "a world-leading women's short-format head coach" for 2025 and beyond.
"Stephen leaves us with our thanks and best wishes," Sheridan said. "He joined us with our women's team under-strength and still finding its feet at this level of cricket… We are in a much better place following two years with Stephen at the helm."
The recruitment process for Parry's successor, which Chilton will oversee, will start immediately. "Our aim now is to recruit a world-leading women's short-format head coach, and we are very excited where this group of players can take Manchester Originals next year and beyond," Chilton said.
The announcements come shortly before Friday's deadline for first-round bids in the ECB's sale process of the Hundred, with Lancashire actively seeking a "sporting partner" to become co-owners of Originals. Daniel Gidney, the county's chief executive, told ESPNcricinfo in August: "We'd love to work with an IPL team."
The ongoing introduction of private investment is expected to make 2025 a season of transition in the Hundred, with the timeframe likely too tight for new owners to make sweeping changes to playing or coaching staff. The ECB has told prospective owners to expect significant wage hikes, though these could be delayed until 2026.

Now that the threat of Hurricanes Helene and Milton has receded, millions of homeowners and business-owners across Florida and the Southeastern U.S. are faced with traversing the often long and laborious process of using insurance to rebuild their lives.
“You’re just traumatized when you have these losses. At some point, you’re just glad you’re alive,” said Don Hornstein, an insurance law expert at the University of North Carolina. “And then you have to turn to the business side of this. It’s tough.”

Helene was a Category 4 storm that first struck Florida’s Gulf Coast on September 26, dumped trillions of gallons of rain and left a trail of destruction for hundreds of miles across several states. At least 246 people have died in what is now the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. since Katrina, according to statistics from the National Hurricane Center.
Two weeks later, Hurricane Milton swept across Florida, killing at least 11 people. The Category 3 storm destroyed coastal communities, tore apart homes, filled streets with mud and spawned a barrage of deadly tornadoes.
The combined private insured losses from the two hurricanes could reach $55 billion, according to risk management firm Moody’s RMS.
Immediately after disasters like these, property insurance is likely not top of mind as people secure their safety and basic needs, but insurance claims are part of the process of resetting. Many buy the policies in hope they can help protect them when disaster strikes. But oftentimes insurance doesn’t cover what the policy holder thinks it does — or thinks it should.
Rhoda Moehring, who turns 86 this month, says she doesn’t have a lot of faith that insurance companies will help her salvage the flooded rental homes she owns in the river town of Steinhatchee in Florida’s Big Bend.
“I usually get zip with these things,” Moehring said. ”‘Was I insured for that?’ ‘No, sorry, you weren’t.’ And it goes on and on. So I don’t put a whole lot of confidence in it.”
Moehring said she wasn’t sure about the details of her insurance policies and she’ll be relying on her son to help her navigate the claims process.
Here are some steps home and business owners should keep in mind when filing an insurance claim after a natural disaster.
ACT FAST, DO THE MATH
After the immediate emergency response, the first thing a homeowner or business owner should do is call their insurance agent or broker. The deadline to file a claim is generally about 60 days from the date of loss.
There are different types of policies that insure against damage. In the initial call, first focus on thoroughly understanding your policy, including coverage limits, deductibles and exclusions, so that you can do a rough calculation of what is covered and what deductibles are at play to decide if you should file a claim, experts said.
Many policies have payouts in complicated percentage formulas. For example, if your roof is damaged, your policy may spell out different deductibles depending on the roofing material, the age of the roof and even the wind speed from the damage event, and the percentage paid out may be based on the insured value versus the cost of replacement, said Amy Bach, executive director of the consumer advocacy group United Policyholders.
Homeowners should weigh their options, as a minor payout may not be worth the long-term ding on your claims history. That’s especially true if you don’t have flood insurance, as the average home insurance policy covers wind damage but generally doesn’t cover flood damage.
While Helene was primarily a flood event, there may be disputes over what is or isn’t “wind-driven rain” from Milton. Hornstein said the line between wind and water is a thin but very clear line that technical experts can determine. Should there be a proverbial tie, the law favors the insurance company.
“If the house was simultaneously destroyed by flood and, concurrently (by) wind, it’s not covered by private insurance,” Hornstein said.
Business owners should also check to see if they have business income or business interruption insurance, which covers the loss of income and other costs like expenses, salaries, or rent when a business is forced to close.
ALL IN THE DOCUMENTS
To file a claim, keep track of and document everything. Before and after photos and videos are ideal to jog your memory of what's been lost and for proof to help bolster settlement claims. For business owners, keeping a record of costs that are incurred after the hurricane is important too.
“You may have evacuation costs, you may have business shut down interruption costs, you may have housing costs, you may have additional expenses that are unusual to your business," said Steve Powell, executive vice president of property and catastrophe for claims management firm Sedgwick.
Once a claim is filed, the insurance company’s adjuster will come to survey the damage, typically within a few days if conditions allow. Be responsive to adjusters and make sure they see (and document) the damage that you see.
While it’s easy to get frustrated, adjusters are likely stressed too, said Lawrence White, an economics professor at the NYU Stern School of Business.
“To the maximum extent possible, try not come across as angry. Try to come across as reasonable,” White said.
If there’s disagreement or concern about the accuracy or fairness of the adjuster’s report from the insurance company, property owners can consider hiring a public adjuster for a second opinion. Their own adjuster can then lead the negotiations with the insurance company. First, however, owners should be aware of the fees the public adjuster charges and check their references.
“The insurance companies have totally the upper hand and when there’s a public adjuster, it does level the playing field a lot for the consumer having someone who speaks insurance and speaks damage," Bach said.
REPAIR OR LAWYER UP
Be aware of the deadlines for accepting a payment offer or filing an appeal with the insurance company.
Once you agree to an insurance payout, know that you can update the claim if more damage is discovered during the repairs though there may be deadlines for how long a homeowner has to reopen a claim.
If the back-and-forth with the insurance company drags on, you may consider hiring an attorney to reach a settlement as a last resort. A dispute that ends up in arbitration could stretch out for a year or more.
About 90% of all insurance claims are settled without escalating into a court fight, said Charles Nyce, a professor of risk management and insurance at Florida State University’s College of Business.
OTHER AID SOURCES
For those with little or no insurance, there are government programs that can assist. The application process is similar to insurance claims: Contact the agency, determine eligibility and file an application.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency offers grants for home repair or replacement for applicants who meet certain conditions. The Department of Housing and Urban Development also offers certain grants that are available for hurricane survivors. And the Small Business Administration offers low-interest loans to renters, homeowners, business owners, and non-profits that suffered losses due to disasters. However, the government has warned that the SBA is running out of money to fund these loans unless its coffers are replenished by Congress.

We have a high level of conviction in all three experienced co-managers - Frost, Shenton and Marsh.
The fund features as one of our five funds to watch for 2024.
The fund aims to outperform the FTSE All-Share over the long term, while providing a growing income and a dividend yield above what’s offered by the index.
The fund features on our Wealth Shortlist of funds chosen by our analysts for their long-term performance potential.
How it fits in a portfolio
The managers of Artemis Income mainly invest in large UK companies, with some holdings in medium-sized and overseas companies when they find great opportunities. They look for companies they believe will deliver a sustainable income, though there are no guarantees. We view this as a more conventional UK equity income fund that could work well alongside other asset classes in an income focused portfolio.
Manager
Artemis Income is managed by the experienced trio of Adrian Frost, Nick Shenton and Andy Marsh.
Adrian Frost is an industry stalwart and one of the best known UK equity fund managers around. He began his career in 1983 at Deutsche Asset Management and rose up the ranks to become Head of UK Equities. In 2002, he joined Artemis to run this income fund and has been managing it ever since.
Nick Shenton started his career at F&C Asset Management in 2003 working on UK and pan European equities. In 2007, he moved to Polar Capital to take up a role as a fund manager on a UK long/short equity hedge fund. He joined Artemis in 2012 to work alongside Frost as manager of the Income fund.
Andy Marsh began his career in accountancy at Ernst & Young before working in analyst roles at ING Charterhouse and Merrill Lynch. He moved to Investec Investment Bank in 2005 to take up a role as Head of Equity Sales. In 2006, he moved to Polar Capital to work as a fund manager before joining Frost and Shenton at Artemis in 2018.
The managers have over eight decades of investment experience between them and have developed a strong working partnership at Artemis. They’ve been investing through good times and bad and we think they’re one of the best teams in the business. We have a high level of conviction in Frost, Shenton and Marsh.
Process
The managers aim to outperform the FTSE All-Share over the long term, while providing a growing income and a dividend yield above what’s offered by the index. This means the management trio look for businesses they believe can pay a stable and sustainable level of income, through the market cycle, regardless of the economic backdrop. Key to this is a company’s ability to generate free cash flow, which is a key area of focus for the team. The managers say there is a ‘competition for capital’ in the portfolio, and only their best ideas make it into the fund. They seek companies with recurring revenues which they believe will still have consumers, profits, and therefore dividends, in the future, regardless of disruption – although nothing is guaranteed.
The managers spend a lot of time assessing company management and think their ability to allocate capital efficiently is vital to making a success of the business. There’s also analysis of the structure of different industries, how value is created within them and which companies have the best competitive position to take advantage.
They aim to have a portfolio of between 45 and 55 companies with diversified cash flows, and therefore a diversified income stream. Most of the fund is invested in larger companies, with around 86.3% of its assets currently invested here.
In terms of sector exposures, financials account for the largest weighting at 32.1%, followed by consumer discretionary and consumer staples stocks at 25.5% and 11.0% respectively. The managers make use of their ability to invest up to 20% of the portfolio into businesses listed outside of the UK, with around 6.7% of the fund currently invested abroad.
In recent months, the managers have made some changes to the fund’s investments. This included adding to their existing positions in retailer Tesco, with the managers feeling the business is well positioned competitively and is offering attracting returns through a combination of dividends and share buybacks. They also added to the fund’s investment in energy business SSE, feeling the business has a long, underappreciated runway of growth from the energy transition ahead of it. On the other hand, they sold the fund’s position in metals and mining company, Boilden, over concerns around its cash generative potential over the medium term.
ESG Integration
Investment teams across Artemis are encouraged to think for themselves and invest according to their own style, so approaches to ESG integration across the firm vary. Recent meetings with the Artemis teams we back on the Wealth Shortlist suggest ESG is an important factor. However, this fund is not managed to a responsible mandate.
Artemis has a firm-wide policy to support the aims of international conventions on cluster munitions and antipersonnel mines and therefore the firm will not knowingly invest in companies which produce these weapons.
Artemis votes on all their holdings, unless restricted from doing so, and fund managers engage with firms to develop their understanding, raise issues with management and monitor subsequent developments. The firm provides engagement case studies, and other information about its engagement and voting efforts, in an annual Stewardship report. Artemis also provides a monthly voting summary which includes rationales for votes against management and abstentions. Stewardship activity is carried out in line with the firm’s comprehensive voting and engagement policies.
Culture
Artemis provides an attractive environment for fund managers, allowing them the freedom to run money how they see fit without imposing a house view on them. It’s also a collegiate atmosphere, with managers supporting and challenging each other. The managers of the fund are partners in the business. We think this structure is a good thing for investors, as the managers and the firm are focused on the long term and can run funds without distractions from short-term shareholder demands. They are rewarded from the profits of the business, based on their long-term fund performance and payment of the profit share can be deferred over several years.
Cost
The fund has an annual ongoing charge of 0.80%. Investors using the HL platform will benefit from a discount of 0.21%, to pay 0.59%. The saving is achieved through a loyalty bonus which may be taxable if the fund is held outside of an ISA or SIPP. The HL platform charge of up to 0.45% a year also applies, except in the HL Junior ISA, where no account charge applies.
Performance
The fund has significantly outperformed the broader FTSE All-Share Index since Adrian Frost took over as manager in 2002. Over the last 10 years, the fund has also done well and performed strongly for its investors. Over this period, its delivered returns of 95.63%, ahead of the FTSE All Share return of 83.62%. Past performance isn't a guide to future returns.
Over the last 12 months, the fund has delivered returns of 18.42%, some way ahead of the 13.40% return generated by the FTSE All Share index over the same period.Our analysis suggests that the fund’s investment in private equity business 3i, whose strong performance has been driven by discount retailer Action, has been one of the key contributors to performance. Supermarket, Tesco and NatWest bank have also been good performers for the fund. On the other hand, weaker performers in the fund have included footwear business Dr Martens and luxury fashion group Burberry which has faltered following errors in execution of its strategy.
The managers are optimistic about the fund’s prospects and the opportunity set available to them. They feel there are plenty of cash generative, profitable companies listed in the UK which are well equipped to weather uncertain economic environments, creating competition for capital. In addition, they see the growing dividends which in many cases are supplemented by share buybacks, driving a powerful trend of transferring value to patient, long term shareholders of businesses.
At the time of writing, the fund yields 3.34%. Income isn’t guaranteed, and yields aren’t a reliable indicator of future income. The fund takes charges from capital, which can increase the yield but reduce the potential for capital growth.

Abraham Lincoln statue vandalized in Chicago
By Elyssa Kaufman and Todd Feurer
Click here for updates on this story
CHICAGO (WBBM) — An Abraham Lincoln statue was vandalized in the Lincoln Park neighborhood on Monday.
The statue of Lincoln was covered in red spray paint in the 1700 block of North Stockton Drive, near the Chicago History Museum, in an apparent act of protest on Indigenous Peoples Day.
The vandals also sprayed several messages on the statue’s pedestal and the wall behind it, including “Lincoln Was An Executioner” and “May All Empires Fall From Turtle Island To Palestine.” Turtle Island is a name for North America used by some indigenous people. The reference to Lincoln as an executioner is an apparent reference to his ordering the executions of 38 Dakota men after they were involved in a violent conflict with white settlers in Minnesota.
Police are investigating.
No arrests have been made.
The statue has been vandalized before, as recently as 2022.

CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — KRIS 6 compiled a questionnaire for running candidates for the 2024 Nueces County General Elections, and here are their responses.
1. If elected, what would be your three priorities?
- (Please see number 4 also) infrastructure concerns, particularly street repairs, as many roads in our city are in dire need of improvement.
- Ensuring public safety by prioritizing resources for police, firefighters, and first responders while maintaining a balanced budget. We must lower the cost of being a citizen of Corpus Christi but lowering taxes and cutting fees. For example Do we need to spend 10 million for a clubhouse at the Oso Creek golf course? No not when families cannot afford groceries every week and so many of our residential streets NEVER get fixed.
- Promoting responsible water management and exploring long-term solutions like desalination and other sustainable water sources for the future of Corpus Christi.
- I’d like to add a fourth-again Roads. Our children ride busses that have to travel down some of the worst roads I have ever seen. Streets will be TOP priority if I am elected. I will post a weekly “Roads Report” video updating those in my district about any progress and I will use this as another way residents can report dangerous streets. I ride a 2005 Harley Fatboy-I am the candidate to finally make this happen for the people of district 1.
“It is time to make the streets of Corpus Christi UNholy.”-Pastor Aquino
________________________
2. The city budget has been a topic of concern this summer. What are your concerns with the budget? If elected, what steps would you take to improve it?
My primary concern is ensuring we don’t overspend on administrative costs while neglecting critical services like infrastructure and public safety. If elected, I would work to ensure the city budget reflects the needs of our community—starting with cutting waste, redirecting funds to essential services, and ensuring that our tax dollars are spent wisely, much like I approach the budget in my role as pastor, treating every dollar like a donation.
“So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?” (Luke 16:11) — We must be good stewards of public funds, ensuring they are used wisely and for the benefit of all.
________________________
3. The Coastal Bend is home to several military installations, refineries, and industry. What kind of role do you see CORPUS CHRISTI playing in the next 10 years? How would you contribute to its growth?
In the next 10 years, Corpus Christi has the potential to become an even more vital hub for energy and military defense. Our strategic location provides opportunities to expand our role in global trade and energy production while supporting our military. I would contribute by advocating for policies that support responsible industrial growth, attract new businesses, and create jobs while ensuring that our community’s infrastructure keeps pace with development.
— I will strive to serve Corpus Christi and its growth with dedication and integrity.
________________________
4. Plans to build a desalination plant to serve CORPUS CHRISTI residents have been discussed for years. What additional water sources do you support and how long would it take to get them operational?
I support exploring desalination, though not in the inner harbor, and believe industry should shoulder part of the cost. Other options we can consider are expanding our reservoirs and promoting water conservation measures to ensure long-term sustainability. Getting these sources operational could take several years, but we need to start now by moving these discussions into actionable plans.
Responsible water management honors God’s creation, ensuring future generations have the resources they need.
________________________
5. In July, the CORPUS CHRISTI city Council voted to give City Manager Peter Zanoni a 10% pay raise. That increases his yearly salary from $372,000-$409,200. That’s a $37,200 boost in pay. If you were on the council at the time of the vote, did you vote for or against the raise and why? If you are not on the council, but had the opportunity to vote on giving Zanoni a raise, how would you vote and why?
I would have voted against this raise. I believe that at a time when we are struggling with infrastructure issues and working to balance the budget, giving a raise of this magnitude sends the wrong message to our community. Fiscal responsibility must come first.
________________________
6. There are several streets in need of repairs. What neighborhood streets do you think are in most need?
Neighborhood streets throughout District One, including Downtown, Calallen and Annaville, are in desperate need of attention, as are parts of the Westside. We must focus on improving streets that are riddled with potholes and deteriorating surfaces to improve safety and quality of life.
(Isaiah 58:12) — Repairing our city’s streets is part of restoring what has been neglected, creating a strong foundation for the future.
________________________
7. Our viewers say the stray dog population is a problem on the city’s west side and north side. Some animal advocates say our city animal shelter is overpopulated and would like it to become a no-kill shelter. If elected, how would you solve these issues?
First, we need to address overpopulation by supporting spay and neuter programs and working with local rescue organizations to encourage adoption. The city should also explore public-private partnerships to fund improvements to our animal shelter, reducing overcrowding and improving care. While moving to a “no kill” model is ideal, we need to make sure we have the resources to handle it responsibly.
“The righteous care for the needs of their animals.” (Proverbs 12:10) — We must show compassion and responsibility in how we care for our animals.

8. In other cities, law enforcement agencies hold news conference, is to inform residence of major incident in their communities. Yet, the CORPUS CHRISTI Police Department rarely holds news conferences, especially after officer, involved shootings, or to alert the public about crime trans. How would you encourage our local police department to be more transparent?
Transparency builds trust, and I would encourage the Corpus Christi Police Department to hold regular briefings, especially following significant incidents. This can help the community stay informed and improve relations between law enforcement and residents. I would work with the department to establish clear communication protocols for timely updates. Nothing is perfect but our police department is probably the best of any major city in Texas.
Clear communication and transparency create order and trust within the community.

9. Community events like art walk, and farmers market had become popular over the last three years. What method would you use to boost local businesses and the local economy?
Supporting local businesses means investing in the infrastructure and marketing that helps events like Art Walk thrive. I would push for initiatives that make it easier for small businesses to participate in these events and work with local chambers of commerce to develop promotional campaigns that showcase Corpus Christi’s unique offerings to visitors and locals alike.
By boosting local businesses, we support the welfare of our neighbors and strengthen the community.
________________________
10. The monthly art walk in Corpus Christi has become hugely popular over the last few months. If elected, what would you do to bring family-friendly events like this to our city?
Family-friendly events bring our community together and support local businesses. I would work to expand these events by exploring partnerships with cultural institutions, churches, and local artists to create new opportunities for families to engage, from music festivals to food truck events. These activities foster community spirit and support economic growth.
Creating more family-friendly events fosters unity and brings people together for the common good.
________________________
11. Events like art walk the annual Dia Delos Muertos in St. Patrick’s Day festival draw thousands of people to downtown CORPUS CHRISTI, but many attendees say there isn’t enough parking. What is your solution to this issue?
Parking is a growing issue for these popular events. One solution is to explore the construction of multi-level parking garages in strategic locations downtown. Additionally, I would advocate for shuttle services from satellite parking lots during major events, reducing congestion and making it easier for attendees to access the festivities.
Careful planning is key to solving logistical issues like parking at major events.

The market expects Nabors Industries (NBR) to deliver a year-over-year increase in earnings on higher revenues when it reports results for the quarter ended September 2024. This widely-known consensus outlook is important in assessing the company's earnings picture, but a powerful factor that might influence its near-term stock price is how the actual results compare to these estimates.
The stock might move higher if these key numbers top expectations in the upcoming earnings report, which is expected to be released on October 22. On the other hand, if they miss, the stock may move lower.
While the sustainability of the immediate price change and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's discussion of business conditions on theearnings call it's worth handicapping the probability of a positive EPS surprise.
Zacks Consensus Estimate
This drilling contractor is expected to post quarterly loss of $1.73 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +68%.
Revenues are expected to be $748.15 million, up 0.5% from the year-ago quarter.
Estimate Revisions Trend
The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 8.72% lower over the last 30 days to the current level. This is essentially a reflection of how the covering analysts have collectively reassessed their initial estimates over this period.
Investors should keep in mind that the direction of estimate revisions by each of the covering analysts may not always get reflected in the aggregate change.
Earnings Whisper
Estimate revisions ahead of a company's earnings release offer clues to the business conditions for the period whose results are coming out. Our proprietary surprise prediction model -- the Zacks Earnings ESP (Expected Surprise Prediction) -- has this insight at its core.
The Zacks Earnings ESP compares the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the quarter; the Most Accurate Estimate is a more recent version of the Zacks Consensus EPS estimate. The idea here is that analysts revising their estimates right before an earnings release have the latest information, which could potentially be more accurate than what they and others contributing to the consensus had predicted earlier.
Thus, a positive or negative Earnings ESP reading theoretically indicates the likely deviation of the actual earnings from the consensus estimate. However, the model's predictive power is significant for positive ESP readings only.
A positive Earnings ESP is a strong predictor of an earnings beat, particularly when combined with a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold). Our research shows that stocks with this combination produce a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and a solid Zacks Rank actually increases the predictive power of Earnings ESP.
Please note that a negative Earnings ESP reading is not indicative of an earnings miss. Our research shows that it is difficult to predict an earnings beat with any degree of confidence for stocks with negative Earnings ESP readings and/or Zacks Rank of 4 (Sell) or 5 (Strong Sell).
How Have the Numbers Shaped Up for Nabors?
For Nabors, the Most Accurate Estimate is the same as the Zacks Consensus Estimate, suggesting that there are no recent analyst views which differ from what have been considered to derive the consensus estimate. This has resulted in an Earnings ESP of 0%.
On the other hand, the stock currently carries a Zacks Rank of #3.
So, this combination makes it difficult to conclusively predict that Nabors will beat the consensus EPS estimate.
Does Earnings Surprise History Hold Any Clue?
While calculating estimates for a company's future earnings, analysts often consider to what extent it has been able to match past consensus estimates. So, it's worth taking a look at the surprise history for gauging its influence on the upcoming number.
For the last reported quarter, it was expected that Nabors would post a loss of $1.77 per share when it actually produced a loss of $4.29, delivering a surprise of -142.37%.
The company has not been able to beat consensus EPS estimates in any of the last four quarters.
Bottom Line
An earnings beat or miss may not be the sole basis for a stock moving higher or lower. Many stocks end up losing ground despite an earnings beat due to other factors that disappoint investors. Similarly, unforeseen catalysts help a number of stocks gain despite an earnings miss.
That said, betting on stocks that are expected to beat earnings expectations does increase the odds of success. This is why it's worth checking a company's Earnings ESP and Zacks Rank ahead of its quarterly release. Make sure to utilize our Earnings ESP Filter to uncover the best stocks to buy or sell before they've reported.
Nabors doesn't appear a compelling earnings-beat candidate. However, investors should pay attention to other factors too for betting on this stock or staying away from it ahead of its earnings release.

A grand ceremony was held today by the community and political stakeholders of Ideato Federal Constituency in honor of Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State. The event, which took place in Umuchima autonomous community of Ideato South, was organized to appreciate the governor’s intervention in addressing a severe erosion menace that threatened to disconnect the federal constituency from the rest of the state. The Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers, led by their chairman, Eze Ewuzie, received the delegation and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people.
The constituency and its leaders lauded Governor Uzodinma for his swift action in awarding the project to Craneburg, a renowned construction company, and ensuring that work commenced without delay. They noted that despite the constituency having previously produced a governor, a senator, and numerous federal lawmakers, it was under Uzodinma’s administration that a meaningful intervention was made to address the long-standing erosion crisis.
In their speeches, stakeholders emphasized the governor’s selflessness and commitment to the welfare of the people, pointing out that he has no political agenda since he is not running for any office at present. The move, they said, demonstrates Uzodinma’s dedication to good governance and fair leadership, untainted by political motives.
However, the occasion also served as a platform for the people to express their dissatisfaction with the incumbent member representing the constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Ugochinyere Micheal Ikeagwonu. Community leaders accused him of being indifferent to the constituency’s plight, choosing instead to focus on personal political interests and unwarranted attacks on the governor.
During the ceremony, a motion was formally moved for the recall of Hon. Ikeagwonu. Hon. Okechukwu Udenze, the representative for Ideato North in the Imo State House of Assembly, performed his legislative duty by leading the motion, which received overwhelming support from the people and political leaders in attendance.
Among the dignitaries present at the event were Hon. Ijeoma Arodiogbu, the Southeast chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Hon Ikechukwu Umeh, Imo APC Organizing Secretary, Hon. Nkechi Ugwu, the Commissioner for Women Affairs; the executive chairmen of Ideato North and South, Hon. Chinonso Okparaeke and Hon. Okechukwu Okwara; as well as vice chairmen and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) chairmen of Ideato North and South.
The ceremony concluded with a call for greater unity among the people of Ideato Federal Constituency as they work together to ensure the continued progress and development of the area, with leaders urging all to remain committed to the task of rebuilding and advancing the constituency.

CAIRO – The Grand Egyptian Museum will partially open its main galleries on Wednesday, including 12 halls that exhibit aspects of ancient Egypt, as part of a trial run, officials said Tuesday.
The museum, a mega-project near the famed Giza Pyramids which has cost well over $1 billion so far, will open the halls for 4,000 visitors as a trial run until the official opening date, which is yet to be announced, according to Al-Tayeb Abbas, assistant to the minister of antiquities.

The opening of the museum, which has been under construction for more than a decade, has been repeatedly delayed for various reasons, including the COVID-19 pandemic.
More than 100,000 artifacts of Egypt’s ancient treasures will be displayed in the world’s largest archaeological museum, according to the Egyptian state information website.
Abbas told the AP that the trial run starting Wednesday would help prepare for the full opening by providing a deeper understanding of issues related to operations such as identifying overcrowded areas across the museum.
The displays across the 12 halls tap into issues related to society, religion, and doctrine in ancient Egypt, he added. All open-style halls have been classified by dynasty and historical order, and each will showcase at least 15,000 artifacts.
Eras that will be exhibited in the main galleries include the Third Intermediate Period (about 1070-664 B.C.), Late Period (664-332 B.C.), Graeco-Roman Period (332 B.C.-395 A.D.), New Kingdom (1550-1070 B.C.), Middle Kingdom (2030-1650 B.C.), and Old Kingdom (2649-2130 B.C.). One of the halls displays statues of “Elite of the King,” members of the royal family and high-ranking officials who worked in the army, priesthood, and the government.
Parts of the site have already been open for limited tours since late 2022 to test visitors’ experience and the museum’s operational preparedness.
Aude Porcedde, a Canadian tourist who visited several sections, told the AP she was amazed by the museum, adding that Egyptian civilization is important for her and for the world to know more about.
“There is a lot of history and a lot of things we are not aware of, especially coming from the other side of the world, and seeing everything here and learning from the locals has been great,” said Costa Rican tourist Jorge Licano.
The grand staircase, six stories high and with a view of the pyramids, and the commercial area are open to the public, showcasing monuments and artifacts that include sarcophagi and statues. Other parts of the museum, including the King Tutankhamun treasure collection, are set to open at later dates.
All halls are equipped with advanced technology and feature multimedia presentations to explain the lives of the ancient Egyptians, including its kings, according to Eissa Zidan, Director-General of the Preliminary Restoration and Antiquities Transfer at the museum.
One of the halls will use virtual reality to explain the history of burial and its development throughout ancient Egypt.
“The museum is not only a place to display antiquities, but it also aims to attract children to learn about ancient Egyptian history ... The museum is a gift to all the world,” Zidan told the AP.
