10jili cc Sunday, December 8, 2024 Qatar Airways Group CEO, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, participated in the 22nd Doha Forum, underscoring the airline’s dedication to sustainable growth, strategic partnerships, and innovation during a conversation with CNN anchor Julia Chatterley. Held under the patronage of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the Forum brought together global leaders, policymakers, and experts to explore innovative solutions to pressing global issues, from security challenges to technological advancements. During the discussion, Engr. Al-Meer highlighted the importance of transformative investments, navigating complex geopolitical dynamics, and capitalizing on opportunities in emerging markets. He also shared insights on Qatar Airways 2.0, a key initiative focused on employee well-being and retention. Additionally, Al-Meer celebrated the airline’s strategic partnerships, spanning regions from Africa to Australia, and the prestigious recognition of Qatar Airways as the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax for the eighth time in 2024. Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer, said: “I was proud to represent Qatar Airways at this year’s Doha Forum.” “Our increasingly connected world has introduced unique challenges, but has also unearthed new opportunities for cross-cultural understanding, much to the benefit of the aviation industry. Qatar Airways has strong and strategic diplomatic ties across the world and is a key player on the global stage. The demand for our services has remained high during both peak and low travel seasons.” He continued: “With our partnerships in the emerging markets in Africa, the Americas, and India, we have built on our strengths of agility and commitment to sustainable growth to prove time and time again that Qatar Airways remains resilient, nimble, and responsive to change. These qualities are essential for growth in a multi-lateral environment.” “Owing to our new era of Qatar Airways 2.0, dedication to our workforce, and growing investments and partnerships, our airline serves as the optimal case study for thriving businesses in rapidly evolving landscapes.” Qatar Airways delivered a record profit of $1.7 billion in the previous financial year, continuing to strengthen its position by investing in cutting-edge technologies. Notably, it became the first global airline to introduce Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire fleet. The airline also expanded its global footprint with the acquisition of a 25% stake in Southern Africa’s regional carrier, Airlink. Additionally, Qatar Airways has received interim approval from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to engage in co-operative conduct with Virgin Australia under an integrated alliance. This follows the Group’s announcement in October of its intention to acquire a 25% minority equity stake in Virgin Australia from Bain Capital, pending FIRB approval, as part of its commitment to enhancing global connectivity.

Recently, the government responded to the Royal Commission into Veteran Suicide. It adopted most of the recommendations designed to better support defence personnel. It comes four years after other defence news hit the headlines. The Afghanistan Inquiry Report (most commonly known as the Brereton report ) detailed credible evidence of 39 murders of Afghan civilians and prisoners by (or at the instigation of) Australian Special Forces members. The inquiry’s findings rightly sent shockwaves through Australia’s military and Australian society as a whole. Such actions are clearly at odds with the expectations of the Australian Defence Force and the vast majority of Australians. Understandably, most of the public focus since then has been on the question of accountability. The report, however, also looked at how soldiers can be supported to make better decisions. One way the report proposed was to strengthen military ethics training and education. This could not only lead to sound actions, but has the knock-on effect of contributing to protecting soldier’s mental health , the focus of the royal commission. This training has been improved in recent years, but we can do better. Read more: The government's response to the royal commission into veteran suicide gets a lot right – but makes a couple of missteps What did training look like? Military ethics should be regarded as a core skill that requires regular updates and reinforcement to remain effective. The Brereton report noted examining the training and education Australian Defence Force personnel receive was key to understanding how soldiers operate. In the case of Special Forces units, they operate with a very flat structure. Life-and-death decisions in extreme and ambiguous situations are often made by the most junior people in the unit. Despite this, ethics education aimed at dealing with complexity and ambiguity was focused almost exclusively on leaders with rank, known as officers. They were largely absent from the events focused on in the report. For everyone else, including soldiers, training was largely limited to very specific legal guidance. This training was roundly criticised by those on the receiving end in the Brereton report. They said it was confusing and didn’t reflect real operational experience. The report recommended military ethics training should draw on the experiences of military personnel “from the same services and country as themselves” so they understand how and why the “good guys” can also do bad things. But to make this effective, it needs to be taken outside of the traditional classroom environment to make it both realistic and relevant. Genuine educational opportunities must be available to everyone so they can explore situations that are not black and white or do not easily lend themselves to straightforward answers. What improvements have been made? As detailed in the recent report of the Afghanistan Inquiry Implementation Oversight Panel, the Australian Defence Force has made important changes in response to the recommendations of the Brereton report. It published an ethics doctrine for all members of the ADF. There’s also been extensive development and implementation of a coherent and consistent ADF-wide ethics education and training curriculum, which reflects the content of the ethics doctrine. Some of this learning takes place in small groups dealing with different scenarios. Other content is taught in modules, explaining ethics theory with case studies. This replaces the earlier ad hoc measures that were in place. In many respects, the ADF now reflects international best practice in this regard. But this training can be made more practical. It can also be better incorporated so considering ethical implications becomes second nature. It can be, and should be, embedded into the very bloodstream of the ADF. Ethics through simulation The ADF is one of the largest users of simulation-based training in Australia. This can be relatively simple, like simulators for infantry shooting training. It can also be highly sophisticated, including simulating operating advanced weapons systems, like the F35 Joint Strike Fighter. There is potential to leverage this for ethics education and training in a way that avoids it becoming another form of “add-on” mandatory training. For example, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) can simulate high-stakes scenarios, allowing personnel to practice applying ethical principles in realistic, pressure-filled situations. Research has shown the effectiveness of immersive simulation training in saving lives and reducing injury in the mining sector by a remarkable 65%. These techniques are now being employed for firefighter training . It’s also been trialled in medicine with promising results. Interactive decision-making tools can generate adaptive scenarios that change and evolve based on a trainee’s choices. This enhances personalised learning. Gamified ethics training , through serious games, engages learners while providing real-time feedback and analytics to track decision-making patterns. These technologies can simulate diverse locations and cultures. The cost of procuring them has also steadily declined in recent years, making them more accessible. Of course it will be necessary to proceed in a responsible way and build a comprehensive evidence base. Considerations in the use of these tools, such as avoiding psychological harm, must be properly managed and be backed by careful and thorough research. But this is an investment well worth making. The Brereton report made it uncomfortably clear just how painful military ethical failure can be.Hope Renewed: The Search for Journalist Austin TiceKing and PM honour former US president Jimmy Carter after his death aged 100

ChatGPT’s second birthday: What will gen AI (and the world) look like in another 2 years?•says state IGR has increased by 82% since Adeleke took over The Osun State Government on Sunday criticized Reno Omokri for comparing Wizkid’s album revenue to the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), asserting that the IGR has increased by 82% since Governor Ademola Adeleke assumed office. This was in response to an online post by Omokri, where he wrote, “Please fact-check me: In two weeks, Wizkid’s Morayo album has generated more revenue than the total Internally Generated Revenue raised by Osun State in 2023.” Kosile Anike Stella, Special Assistant to Governor Ademola Adeleke on Revenue Matters, responded to Omokri’s claim in a statement issued in Osogbo, describing his assertion as unfortunate. She said, “Reno is not able to make logical arguments again since he has been out of political office rather chose to settle for illogical half statements in a bid to ride on Wizkid’s recently released album to attempt to gain relevance.” “For the record since inception of His Excellency’s Gov Adeleke’s tenure, the revenue of the State has seen a year on year increase from 9.7% increase in 2022 to 13.5 and 46% increase in 2023 and 2024 respectively and a 82% increase since 2021”. “It may be difficult for Mr Reno Omokri to know how 46 and 82% percent was arrived at, but critical thinkers and every other Nigerian knows data can be extrapolated. “Reno Omokri is comparing Apples with Oranges. Wizkid’s audience is all over the world and not Osun State residents only, and its even a person that is not able to think deep that will make such comparison”. “Christiano Ronaldo and Messi earns 213 and 130 million USD respectively yearly, that’s about 583 billion Naira, So Mr Reno Omokri will say Christiano Ronaldo and Messi should come to Nigeria to teach about 25 States whom their yearly independent revenue is not up to 581 Billion how to generate IGR.” “Similarly Jon Rahm despite not winning any tournament is the highest paid golfer 2024 (Forbes) with $218 million earnings, this is greater than self employed taxes of all states in Nigeria including Lagos from 2019 till date,” Stella wondered.

Google announces quantum computing chip breakthroughJohn Stankey to Update Shareholders at UBS Global Media & Communications Conference on December 10FREMONT, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ACM Research, Inc. (“ACM”) (NASDAQ: ACMR), a leading supplier of wafer processing solutions for semiconductor and advanced packaging applications, today issued comments regarding recent updates to U.S. export regulations. On December 2, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) imposed additional controls on exports to, and transfers within, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) relating to advanced integrated circuit (“IC”) products, certain IC manufacturing equipment and technology, and supercomputers associated with artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced computing. As part of the new regulations, among other updates, ACM Research (Shanghai), Inc. (“ACM Shanghai”) and its operating subsidiaries in China and Korea, were added to the Entity List published by BIS. Neither ACM, nor its direct subsidiaries outside of mainland China, were added to the Entity List. ACM is a Delaware corporation founded in California in 1998 to supply capital equipment developed for the global semiconductor industry. Since 2005, ACM has conducted its business operations principally through its subsidiary, ACM Shanghai, a limited liability corporation organized in the PRC. Based on public reports, 140 entities with semiconductor operations related to mainland China were added to the Entity List, 120 of which were semiconductor capital equipment suppliers. We note that neither ACM Shanghai nor its subsidiary was notified of any specific wrongdoing that resulted in its addition to the Entity List. We are assessing the potential impacts to our business and operational plans that may result from the new regulations. We believe the impact to our supply chain and the ability of ACM Shanghai to produce tools in the PRC will be minimized and manageable as a result of having alternative sources and suppliers. We do not anticipate an impact to the ability to sell, deliver and service products to customers outside of the PRC, however the potential impact on sales to our PRC customers will depend, in part, on the effect of the new regulations on their own spending plans. Consistent with prior years, we expect to issue a press release in January with preliminary results for 2024 and our initial revenue outlook for 2025. We will continue to focus on technology innovation for the global market and operate in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. We are confident we can maintain our role as a key supplier of differentiated capital equipment to global customers and protect the interests of partners, employees, and investors as we navigate the ever-evolving geopolitical landscape.

The Giants are in a mess, and New York fans have had enough. They have made the playoffs only twice in the last 12 seasons and only have one playoff win during that time. They have also made detrimental mistakes when it comes to player retention, like choosing to pay Daniel Jones over Saquon Barkley. As a result, a few Giants fans decided to express their displeasure with owner John Mara in a rather unique way. What are assumed to be Giants fans hired a plane to fly over the stadium just moments before New York hosts the Saints. It’s the team’s 100th anniversary as well, so extra fans are in attendance at the game. Trailing the plane, a message read “Mr. Mara enough – plz fix this dumpster fire.” It was a wild moment, for sure, so Giants fans made sure to capture it on video. But it’s also a cry for help for New York — a team that once took down Tom Brady and his dynasty twice in the Super Bowl has slowly devolved into a disappointment year after year. What was better than the actual video was the fan reaction to the incident. It’s not every day the owner of a team gets called out with a plane-delivered message over their stadium. Some reacted by commending the fans’ passion. Sports fans really are something else when it comes to hating on their favorite team. It’s like a contest of who can be the most creative at roasting their guys. Other fans looked across the pond at the other New York football team having an abysmal season and urged the Green Gang Nation to follow suit. It’s surprising that Jets fans haven’t done something similar. With the way their season has been mishandled, they should really be the ones flying banners over the stadium. That said, other casual fans reacted by just cutting straight to the chase. The Giants are indeed a mess, and it’s time for owner Jon Mara to step in and help out. Since the Eli Manning era, they have failed to win their division, even once. They’ve only finished second in their division once since then as well, and have had five out of six losing seasons. Saquon Barkley and Daniel Jones, paired with head coach Brian Daboll, were supposed to usher in a new era of success post-Manning. But with Barkley now in Philadelphia with the Eagles, and Jones now in Minnesota with the Vikings, that era quickly subsided. Daboll also finds himself on the hot seat, and clearly, Giants fans are not happy with ownership either. This team needs a complete makeover, and it starts up top with Mara and his decisions on who to appoint in charge of the rebuild.Analysts update Asana stock price target after earnings

Toll Brothers Reports FY 2024 ResultsGovernors elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), have arrived in Jos, the Plateau State capital, for a meeting on the party’s leadership. Naija News gathered that the PDP Governors are set to meet in Jos on Saturday but several of them have already arrived on Friday ahead of the planned meeting. While there is yet to be an official communication on the agenda of the meeting, sources in the know on happenings in the party disclosed that the PDP Governors are in Plateau State to solidify their stand on leadership positions in the party, including the choice of a permanent National Chairman. This platform reports that the drama involving steps to choose a substantive National Chairman to take over from Umar Damagum , who is currently in the position in an acting capacity, has witnessed a lot of power play within the PDP. The Governors’ meeting is seen as a crucial step towards laying the matter to rest, thus the urgent need for party leaders to align ahead of the convention. The leadership crisis within the PDP has created tension, especially as the party looks to present itself as a formidable opposition to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections. A top source who spoke with BusinessDay on the meeting in Jos, said that “As the PDP moves closer to its national convention, all eyes are now on the Jos meeting, with party loyalists and observers keen to see whether the governors can broker a resolution to the leadership crisis. The outcome of this crucial meeting could determine the future trajectory of the party, especially in its quest for political relevance in the coming years.”
