By Zaheer Kachwala (Reuters) -GameStop reported a third-quarter profit on Tuesday as the videogame retailer ramps up its cost-saving efforts, including shutting stores and selling higher-margin goods. CEO Ryan Cohen told investors in June the company would operate with "a smaller network and more value-added" items as a part of its attempt to boost sales and profitability. This helped GameStop report a net income of $17.4 million in the third quarter, compared with a net loss of $3.1 million a year ago. Its shares were up more than 2% in extended trading. The company has been grappling with a slower turnaround of its main business as it struggles to ramp up sales of videogame hardware and collectibles, while facing stiff competition from online retail giants such as Amazon.com and eBay. It is also burdened by an uncertain macroeconomic environment, as consumers cut back on discretionary spending owing to stubborn inflation and a slow recovery in the gaming market. Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter said he does not see any signs the company's "core business is salvageable". "There is no turnaround, just stock sales to willingly foolish investors," Pachter said. Its shares have rallied more than 50% this year after stock influencer Keith Gill, also known as "Roaring Kitty", reemerged earlier in 2024, sparking excitement among his followers. The company has taken advantage of the jump in its stock price by raising around $3 billion earlier this year through share sales. Gill was a key figure in the meme-stock frenzy of 2021, in which GameStop stock surged 1,600% at one point in January that year, crushing hedge funds that had bet against the videogame retailer. GameStop's third-quarter revenue fell 20% to $860 million, compared with $1.08 billion a year ago. Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter were $4.58 billion, compared with $4.19 billion in the preceding three-month period. (Reporting by Zaheer Kachwala in Bengaluru; Editing by Pooja Desai)Israel’s attorney general has ordered police to open an investigation into Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife on suspicion of harassing political opponents and witnesses in the Prime Minister’s corruption trial. The Israeli Justice Ministry made the announcement in a message late on Thursday, saying the investigation would focus on the findings of a recent report by the Uvda investigative programme into Sara Netanyahu. The programme uncovered a trove of WhatsApp messages in which Mrs Netanyahu appears to instruct a former aide to organise protests against political opponents and to intimidate Hadas Klein, a key witness in the trial. The announcement did not mention Mrs Netanyahu by name and the Justice Ministry declined further comment. Earlier on Thursday, Mr Netanyahu blasted the Uvda report as “lies”. It is the latest in a long line of legal troubles for the Netanyahus, highlighted by the PM’s ongoing corruption trial. Mr Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes in a series of cases alleging he exchanged favours with powerful media moguls and wealthy associates. He denies the charges and says he is the victim of a “witch hunt” by overzealous prosecutors, police and the media.Hut 8 (NASDAQ:HUT) Shares Down 2.8% – Should You Sell?casi cast 。

Ozak AI's $OZ Token: Presale Offers Ground Floor Opportunity In Market Growing At 22% AnnuallyIsaac Julian Hall died Nov. 3, 2024, in Dublin at the age of 50 after a valiant battle with Crohn’s disease. He was an educator, a polymath and a passionate supporter of libertarian and conservative causes. Isaac was born July 10, 1974, in Peterborough. He grew up at the Folkway Restaurant and Coffee House, where he charmed the staff with his sweet nature and naughty sense of humor. When he was six years old he had his own children’s folk music program, which was broadcast over the local radio station WSLE. His early talent and enjoyment of performance again expressed itself at the Well School, where he played Jesus Christ in the musical “Godspell.” He graduated from the Well School in 1988 and went on to Northfield Mount Hermon. At NMH he edited the school newspaper, “The Bridge,” and rowed varsity crew. He graduated from NMH in 1990 as class valedictorian. Isaac then attended Harvard University, where he edited the conservative journal “The Harvard Salient” and rowed crew. After a hiatus he graduated cum laude in 2003 with a bachelor of arts in philosophy. Isaac worked for The Center for Interim Programs in Cambridge, Mass., the W.S. Badger Company in Gilsum and Mountain Shadows School in Dublin. During summers he worked for his Uncle George and Aunt Mary’s Earth Haven farm in Marlborough. He was a Freemason. He also used his educational expertise to help establish the Lionheart Classical Academy in Peterborough. He developed great friendships with his colleagues and is fondly remembered by them. Isaac had a soaring intellect and a quick wit. He was an intense and brilliant writer and thinker. He loved books, music, movies and culture of all kinds — high and low and in between. He loved to share ideas, images, video clips, books and exchange intense and often opinionated posts on social media. He was willing and able to debate at a moment’s notice, and if a topic caught his interest, he would research it exhaustively and send along reams to back up his thinking. He had a multitude of talents. He could ride a unicycle, do high-level math, speak French, fix fences, run a tractor and cook amazing food. He loved to talk about his encounters with famous people and saw amazing synchronicity in the world. He had very strong opinions and thoughts on politics, which were often at odds with his family and friends. Despite this, he maintained relationships with people of all stripes, who were able to see that his convictions sprung from his love of life and humanity. He will be sorely missed and always remembered by family and friends. Isaac is survived by his father, Jonathan Hall, and his stepmother, Liza Hill, of Brooksville, Maine; his sister, Sasha DuVerlie, and her husband, Evan DuVerlie, of Marlborough; his sister, Aji Hall, of Chicago; his nieces, Nica Morrisa and Marina DuVerlie, and a nephew, Jack DuVerlie, also of Marlborough; his former wife, Ashley Nightingale; his stepchildren, Temple Nightingale and Turner Finney; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. He was predeceased by his brother, Lars-David Hall, and his mother, Widdie Hall, of Peterborough. A memorial is planned for Saturday, Dec. 28, 2024, at 1 p.m. at the Dublin Community Church, with a potluck reception to follow in the church hall. The family would like to thank the Dublin Fire and Rescue and neighbor Riley Codman for their efforts to save his life and comfort him at his end.Michelle Goth There is always that one dish on the Thanksgiving table – overlooked while the mashed potatoes and gravy steal the spotlight. Surprisingly, this much-maligned side dish has been a part of American tradition for centuries and holds endless possibilities beyond its original purpose, perfectly suited to be reinvented in unexpected ways. Despite its deep roots in Thanksgiving history, this dish remains one of the most polarizing items on the table today. What is this least popular Thanksgiving dish? Cranberry sauce. Cranberry sauce has been part of American cuisine for centuries. Native Americans used cranberries in cooking and medicine, and early European settlers followed suit, incorporating the berries into sauces and preserves. By the 19th century, cranberry sauce became a Thanksgiving tradition, although recipes varied by region. The introduction of canned cranberry sauce in the 20th century made it even more popular, cementing its spot as an expected accompaniment for Thanksgiving turkey on tables across the country. Those who do enjoy cranberry sauce probably have a strong opinion about what form is acceptable. Some people prefer canned cranberry sauce for its nostalgic jiggle, while others insist that fresh, homemade cranberry sauce is the only way to go. Homemade whole berry sauce is the top choice for many, with its texture and flavor offering something truly special. A 2021 survey by the grocery delivery service Instacart found that cranberry sauce is the least favorite Thanksgiving dish, with 29% of American adults saying they hate it and nearly 50% calling it disgusting. This makes cranberry sauce the most polarizing and the most disliked dish on the Thanksgiving table. Even though it ranks as the least favorite dish, omitting cranberry sauce from the holiday meal is still considered a bit of a Thanksgiving faux pas . Regardless of what kind of cranberry sauce graces the table, its lack of popularity guarantees leftovers. But do not let those leftovers go to waste; there are plenty of creative and delicious ways to use cranberry sauce beyond the Thanksgiving table. Leftover cranberry sauce? There is no need to despair. Here are some fun, delicious and inventive ways to give those leftovers a new purpose. Cranberry grilled cheese Cranberry sauce is the perfect addition to a grilled cheese sandwich. Layer sharp cheddar or brie cheese, turkey leftovers and a spoonful of cranberry sauce between two slices of sourdough bread. The tart cranberry cuts through the richness of the cheese for a perfectly balanced bite. To feed a crowd, consider making a casserole dish of turkey cranberry sliders with leftover sauce and turkey meat. Cranberry vinaigrette To make a simple salad dressing, grab a mason jar and add a tablespoon of leftover cranberry sauce. Pour in a splash of white balsamic vinegar and an equal portion of olive oil. Add pinches of fresh herbs, salt and pepper. Secure the lid, shake well and drizzle the zesty cranberry vinaigrette over an autumn salad with lettuce, gorgonzola cheese, pecans and dried cranberries. Cranberry BBQ sauce For an easy homemade barbecue sauce, mix leftover cranberry sauce with ketchup or chili sauce, a dash of hot sauce or Worcestershire sauce, and a bit of brown sugar. The result is a tangy barbecue sauce that pairs beautifully with cocktail meatballs , roasted chicken or pork chops. Guests will never guess that the base of your homemade barbecue sauce was the leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving. Cranberry yogurt parfait For a quick breakfast or snack, layer cranberry sauce with vanilla Greek yogurt and granola for a simple yet elegant autumn parfait. The sweetness of the granola and the tanginess of the cranberry sauce make for a great flavor balance. For bonus points, add a drizzle of maple syrup and pecans. Cocktail mixer Yes, cranberry sauce can be used in cocktails. To make a festive drink, shake a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce with vodka, a splash of orange juice and a squeeze of simple syrup. Add ice and a fresh rosemary sprig, and the result is a tart, refreshing cocktail perfect for the holiday season.

Cranberry sauce may never steal the spotlight during Thanksgiving dinner, where traditional dishes like mashed potatoes, buttery rolls and pies often take center stage. However, its creative uses can elevate it as a standout ingredient in the days that follow. As Thanksgiving cleanup commences and a bowl of leftover sauce remains, there is no need to worry. This underdog simply requires a bit of creativity to shine. Michelle Goth is a professionally trained cook and cookbook author dedicated to celebrating Midwestern cooking traditions.

First treatment in 50 years for serious asthma attacks is ‘game-changer’How the stock market defied expectations again this year, by the numbers NEW YORK (AP) — What a wonderful year 2024 has been for investors. U.S. stocks ripped higher and carried the S&P 500 to records as the economy kept growing and the Federal Reserve began cutting interest rates. The benchmark index posted its first back-to-back annual gains of more than 20% since 1998. The year featured many familiar winners, such as Big Tech, which got even bigger as their stock prices kept growing. But it wasn’t just Apple, Nvidia and the like. Bitcoin and gold surged and “Roaring Kitty” reappeared to briefly reignite the meme stock craze. Stock market today: Wall Street drifts to a mixed close in thin trading following a holiday pause Stock indexes drifted to a mixed finish on Wall Street as some heavyweight technology and communications sector stocks offset gains elsewhere in the market. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1% Thursday, its first loss after three straight gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.1%. Gains by retailers and health care stocks helped temper the losses. Trading volume was lighter than usual as U.S. markets reopened following the Christmas holiday.

Israel strikes Houthi rebels in Yemen's capital while the WHO chief says he was meters away JERUSALEM (AP) — A new round of Israeli airstrikes in Yemen have targeted the Houthi rebel-held capital of Sanaa and multiple ports. The World Health Organization’s director-general said the bombardment on Thursday took place just “meters away” as he was about to board a flight in Sanaa. He says a crew member was hurt. The strikes followed several days of Houthi attacks and launches setting off sirens in Israel. Israel's military says it attacked infrastructure used by the Houthis at the international airport in Sanaa, power stations and ports. The Israeli military later said it wasn’t aware that the WHO chief was at the location in Yemen. Holiday shoppers increased spending by 3.8% despite higher prices New data shows holiday sales rose this year even as Americans wrestled with still high prices in many grocery necessities and other financial worries. According to Mastercard SpendingPulse, holiday sales from the beginning of November through Christmas Eve climbed 3.8%, a faster pace than the 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The measure tracks all kinds of payments including cash and debit cards. This year, retailers were even more under the gun to get shoppers in to buy early and in bulk since there were five fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Mastercard SpendingPulse says the last five days of the season accounted for 10% of the spending. Sales of clothing, electronics and Jewelry rose. Finland stops Russia-linked vessel over damaged undersea power cable in Baltic Sea FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Finnish police say authorities detained a ship linked to neighboring Russia as they investigate whether it damaged a Baltic Sea power cable and several data cables. It was the latest incident involving disruption of key infrastructure. Police and border guards boarded the Eagle S and took control as they investigate damage to the Estlink-2 undersea power cable. The cable brings electricity from Finland to Estonia across the Baltic Sea. The cable went down on Wednesday. The incident follows damage to two data cables and the Nord Stream gas pipelines. Both have been termed sabotage. Russian ship that sank in the Mediterranean was attacked, owner says MOSCOW (AP) — The Russian operator of a cargo ship that sank in the Mediterranean Sea between Spain and Algeria says it has been hit by a series of explosions in an act of sabotage. Oboronlogistica is a state-controlled company that operated the Ursa Major freighter. The company said the vessel was wrecked by three powerful explosions just above the water line in what it described as a “terrorist attack” that caused it to sink on Monday. The company said in a statement carried by Russia’s state RIA Novosti news agency on Thursday that the explosions left a hole in the ship’s starboard and filled the engine room with acrid smoke. That hampered the crew’s attempts to access it. Undersea power cable linking Finland and Estonia hit by outage, prompting investigation FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — Finland’s prime minister says authorities are investigating an interruption in a power cable under the Baltic Sea between his country and Estonia. Petteri Orpo said on X that power transmission through the Estlink-2 cable suffered an outage Wednesday. Authorities have been on edge about undersea infrastructure in the Baltic after two international data cables were severed in November and the Nord Stream gas pipelines between Russia and Germany were blown up in September 2022. Japan to maximize nuclear power in clean-energy push as electricity demand grows TOKYO (AP) — A Japanese government panel has largely supported a draft energy policy calling for bolstering renewables up to half of Japanese electricity needs by 2040. It also recommends maximizing the use of nuclear power to accommodate the growing demand for power in the era of AI while meeting decarbonization targets. Cabinet is expected to formally approve the plan by March following a period of public consultation. The policy says nuclear energy should account for 20% of Japan’s energy supply in 2040, with renewables expanded to 40-50% and coal-fired power reduced to 30-40%.

US applications for unemployment benefits hold steady, but continuing claims rise to 3-year high WASHINGTON (AP) — The number of Americans applying for unemployment benefits held steady last week, though continuing claims rose to the highest level in three years. The US Labor Department reported Thursday that jobless claim applications ticked down by 1,000 to 219,000 for the week of Dec. 21. That’s fewer than the 223,000 analysts forecast. Continuing claims, the total number of Americans collecting jobless benefits, climbed by 46,000 to 1.91 million for the week of Dec. 14.

It also didn't help that after the fact, the PR geniuses behind the Jaguar X account got snobby with critics and said we'd soon see things their way. LOL, not a chance. These decisions have an impact on their business, and Jaguar stocks are reflecting the fact this rebranding isn't going the way Jaguar hoped. Not at all: Jaguar stock price tumbles amid 'woke' ad ‘backlash’ https://t.co/r21TFYG2jR More from Finbold: The famed British – though Indian-owned – luxury car company, Jaguar, recently caused a social media storm on X as it unveiled its latest ‘Copy nothing’ commercial. Many commentators, including billionaire Elon Musk, quickly mocked the firm over the ad’s strange and apparently disconnected nature. Musk, for example, simply asked if the company even sells cars in his comment. Furthermore, due to the advertisement featuring vivid colors, flamboyantly dressed actors, and gender non-conforming individuals, some have seemingly taken it to be part of the ‘culture war’ and threatened to will the ‘go woke, go broke’ slogan into existence by threatening a boycott. The notion that the new direction would lead to Jaguar’s downfall was seemingly confirmed by the fact the car maker’s parent company, Tata Motors (NSE: TATAMOTORS), experienced a price drop in the 24-hour charts in the Indian national stock exchange and the BSE. Oh well. Jaguar: “We got people talking about our brand!” Normal people: “What did it cost?” Jaguar: pic.twitter.com/1WmXZkVFo6 Perfect use of the Thanos meme. I chose the best-looking model from their commercial. I would have included a Jaguar, but it seems they forgot it was a car ad. pic.twitter.com/RY71ZFHUSO If you showed that ad to someone not on X, there's no chance they'd now it was for a car. These brands are out of touch with reality and it’s catching up with them Five years ago, this would've been a blip on the radar. But the cultural winds have shifted. This is an excellent point. They made Bud Light cheap enough to where people had to start buying it again. I don't think that would work for a luxury car brand like Jaguar. pic.twitter.com/XmE5r2hdQw Hard to do that with a luxury car. I've never been threatened by a car company before.🤣 pic.twitter.com/3qYbYs0PDr Neither have we. Well deserved response https://t.co/BTlfYiEe2s They deserve all the backlash they get. I am going to say it.....I TOLD YOU SO. #BoycottJaguar https://t.co/WTwLZzkmzx We all knew this would happen. Well, everyone except Jaguar's marketing department. Can't imagine why. https://t.co/3IS5bPdpxz pic.twitter.com/JNvVYchyxg Total mystery. The overton window is shifted. Reject the woke mind virus. Now is the time to PUSH. Everyone fights, nobody quits https://t.co/CBj8PAtus1 Reject the woke mind virus soundly.
