How WordPress Dominates the World of Content Management Systems for WebsitesPaul McCartney on how it's 'very emotional' harmonise with John Lennon again on stageCARLSBAD, Calif. , Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ourself, a leader in the next generation of skincare, today announced that clinical data evaluating Ourself's patented delivery technology, Tiered-Release VesiclesTM (TRVs), was published in Dermatologic Surgery , the official journal of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery. The publication highlights that TRVs have the potential to revolutionize skincare by enabling the delivery of large, bioactive molecules directly into the epidermis and dermis. The Ourself delivery method promises to reshape the way we care for our skin and opens new possibilities for enhancing cosmetic outcomes topically. "Publication of this data reinforces that Ourself is setting a new standard in topical delivery," said Jim Hartman , Ourself's Chief Executive Officer. "We are excited to lead these advancements and look forward to the growth and innovation this breakthrough will inspire for our brand and the industry as a whole." "Tiered-Release Vesicles represent a revolutionary advancement in dermal delivery technology, addressing a stagnation in the industry that has persisted for over four decades," said Ashish C. Bhatia , MD, FAAD, author and board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon at Oak Dermatology. For decades, the skin's outermost layer, the stratum corneum, has long been a barrier that limits the effectiveness of skincare products, blocking essential ingredients from reaching deeper layers. Traditional delivery systems like liposomes have failed to penetrate deeply enough to achieve substantial results—TRVs change this paradigm. "It's not just about the ingredients but also how the ingredients get to where they need to go. Ourself is revolutionary and a game changer in our industry because we've had the same delivery systems for 40 years. Now we have something better," said Amy B. Lewis , MD, board-certified dermatologist at Lewis Dermatology and Associates. "The Tiered-Release Vesicle delivery system is a major step forward for skincare. These developments redefine what is now achievable in topical delivery, unlocking limitless potential for the future of skincare," said Amir Moradi , MD, MBA lead author and double board-certified facial plastic and otolaryngology-head and neck surgeon at Moradi MD. ABOUT OURSELF Leveraging decades of biotech and skincare expertise, Ourself developed a new, scientifically advanced delivery technology to broaden the capabilities of cosmetic skincare forever. Utilizing patented Tiered-Release VesiclesTM, Ourself "hero" products ensure deep ingredient delivery, sending larger molecules, powerful peptides and all-in-one formulations directly to the layer of the skin where they're needed most to improve loss of volume, lines & wrinkles, and uneven pigmentation.

Merseyrail trains cancelled after Storm Bert floodingOnce upon a time, the FAANG stocks were all the rage. For the better part of a decade, Facebook (rebranded Meta Platforms ), Apple , Amazon , Netflix ( NFLX 0.04% ) , and Google (now Alphabet ) were among the market's most consistent performers. Each company dominated its respective industry and provided a windfall for determined investors who stayed the course. Well, Wall Street is a fickle mistress, and with the advent of artificial intelligence (AI) , investors shifted their focus to the future. Most of the FAANG stocks made the transition to a new collective -- the now-vaunted " Magnificent Seven" stocks , a term that came into being in late 2023. This group is made up of Apple, Microsoft , Amazon, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Nvidia , and Tesla . In an interesting turn of events, the one FAANG stock that was left by the wayside has outperformed all its FAANG peers and all but one of the Magnificent Seven stocks. If you guessed Netflix, you're right on the money. Below, I'll look at what brought the streaming giant back from the brink, and why it's hitting new all-time highs. Like a phoenix from the ashes Netflix was a pioneer in the streaming video market, laying the groundwork for all the competitors that came after. It has long been the undisputed leader in the field in terms of subscribers, and after years of negative cash flow and ballooning debt, Netflix finally turned the corner and made good on its promise of strong and consistent profitability. After a pandemic-induced growth spurt, Netflix became a victim of its own success. The combination of decades-high inflation and tough comps sent fair-weather investors to the exits, and the exodus was dramatic. Between October 2021 and July 2022, Netflix stock shed 75% of its value. Even as the stock price cratered, the business kept chugging along, with Netflix adding millions of new subscribers. Perhaps as importantly, the company continued to increase its revenue and earnings. Over the past year, and without much fanfare, Netflix has quietly outperformed every FAANG and Magnificent Seven stock -- except Nvidia. That's a momentous accomplishment indeed. The view from the cheap seats As its growth slowed, Netflix made a couple of strategic decisions that paved the way for its success. At the risk of alienating long-term customers, the company announced a password-sharing crackdown, but its execution was brilliant. Netflix allowed users to add additional paid members for just $8, and the mass defection of subscribers many predicted never came to pass. The company also introduced a lower-priced tier that included advertising, which appealed to viewers on tighter budgets. Those two decisions set the stage for future growth, and the results have been impressive. In the third quarter, Netflix generated revenue that grew 15% year over year to $9.8 billion, while its earnings per share (EPS) of $5.40 jumped 45%. The results were fueled by 5 million new paid subscribers, an increase of 14%. It's worth noting that the results sailed past Wall Street's expectations, which were calling for revenue of $9.77 billion, EPS of $5.12, and subscriber additions of 4.5 million. Despite Netflix's striking performance, the best may be yet to come. Future growth drivers Recent developments help illustrate that there's a long runway ahead for the streaming giant. And those opportunities extend beyond its base streaming business. Earlier this month, Netflix revealed that its ad-supported tier had reached critical mass, with 70 million global users just two years after its debut. The company also noted that 50% of its new subscribers join its ad-supported plan, giving the company leverage with advertisers. This is also helping to feed Netflix's pivot to live events. The recent boxing match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul -- and the undercard with Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano -- was the company's biggest live event to date. Despite some reports of outages, the match was viewed by 108 million live global viewers, making it the "most-streamed global sporting event ever," according to Netflix. For an encore, Netflix has exclusive rights to two NFL games that will be played on Christmas Day: the Super Bowl LVII-winning Kansas City Chiefs vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Houston Texans. It was recently announced that Beyoncé will perform at the halftime show in the game between the Texans and the Ravens, performing songs from her latest blockbuster album, Cowboy Carter . The album received a record-breaking 11 Grammy nominations, the most ever for an album by a female artist -- so it's certain to drum up a fair amount of business for Netflix. Data by YCharts Time to buy? Netflix has outperformed nearly all its FAANG and Magnificent Seven peers, with Nvidia as the outlier. Given the magnitude of the competition, that adds to the company's already lengthy list of credentials. That leaves us with the quintessential investing question: Is Netflix stock still a buy? In the wake of its third-quarter financial report, Wall Street has been scrambling to boost its price targets. The most notable comes courtesy of Pivotal Research analyst Jeffrey Wlodarczak, who maintained a buy rating on the stock while increasing his price target to a Street-high $1,100. For those keeping score at home, that represents potential upside of 23% compared to Thursday's closing price. Despite the aforementioned technical issues during the boxing match, the analyst called it a "learning experience" for Netflix, suggesting it's unlikely to happen again. "Our view remains unchanged that Netflix has won the global streaming race, as evidenced by year-to-date results and raised guidance," Wlodarczak wrote in a note to clients. Some investors might be put off by Netflix's frothy valuation, and with good reason. The stock is currently selling for 51 times earnings and 11 times sales, but that only tells part of the story. Wall Street is predicting Netflix will generate EPS of $23.77 in 2025. At that rate, the stock is selling for roughly 38 times forward earnings. While that's a clear premium compared to the overall market, that's an attractive price for a stock that's bested some of the biggest names in technology. Netflix is still a buy .

Paschal Donohoe has said that no one could have done a better job as Justice Minister than Helen McEntee. On Friday, at an event outlining Fine Gael's plans to make Dublin City safer, Mr Donohoe said he has been proud to work alongside the outgoing Minister. "I believe she has done a sterling job and is an exemplary colleague and politician," he said. "I couldn't be stronger in making the case for her." Mr Donohoe defended Ms McEntee's record in her role, pointing to the €2bn budget designed to support An Garda Síochána, legal changes made to ensure that crimes against the person are dealt with "in a way that we believe is appropriate", and the rolling out of body cams. "I could make the case to you about further local changes that have happened. The fact that we have reopened Fitzgibbon Street Garda Station and the fact that there is now a Garda office on O'Connell Street," Mr Donohoe said. "But I do acknowledge that for too many at the moment, they want to feel safer when they come into Dublin. They feel that there is an air of edginess that has developed, that I have to recognise and we have to act on." He declined to speculate on who might or should take on the justice portfolio following the election, saying the difficulties the city faces are complex, but said he believes if a Fine Gael government is elected, it can make progress on the issue of safety. Responding to criticism of the Dublin Taskforce by Social Democrats TD Gary Gannon about the level of funding allocated to the city in Budget 2025, Mr Donohoe said the taskforce report was completed after the budget. He clarified that there is money in Dublin City Council's budget available to implement any recommendations put forth by the recent taskforce. "It is up to us to now ensure that the very best of it is brought to the fore so that everyone feels safe to enjoy it," Mr Donohoe said. "We will do this by implementing, in full, the taskforce recommendations, with a focus on revitalising O'Connell Street; delivering more visible policing and security; and transforming derelict sites, converting them to high-density residential units to ensure the re-population of our city streets." Mr Donohoe also addressed a dinner that he attended where Ryanair CEO was also in attendance, saying that no government business was discussed at the event. "If any issue in relation to government business, regulation, or policy had been dealt with, that would have been recorded and would have been dealt with in the same way that every other engagement that I do is dealt with," he said. Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty said that Mr Donohoe has failed to shed light on details about the dinner and should come out and "allay suspicions". "Fine Gael says that the meeting was attended by another unnamed person. Who was that person? "We have already witnessed Mr O'Leary launch the campaign of a Fine Gael election candidate in which he made disparaging remarks about our teachers and was cheered to the rafters by Fine Gael members in attendance," Mr Doherty said. "It would be instructive for the public to know just how much influence Michael O'Leary has with Fine Gael and, by extension, over decisions made by that party in government."

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Penn State coach James Franklin has long campaigned for college football to have a commissioner oversee the sport because of NIL and transfer portal issues, among others. Sunday at the Fiesta Bowl’s Media Day, Franklin named who he would like to see fill that role. “I think (former Alabama coach) Nick Saban would be the obvious choice,” he said. “Nick will probably call me tonight and say, ‘Don’t do this.’ “But I think he’s the obvious choice, right? I think there are some other really good candidates out there. But that would be a very, very important step moving forward to come up with some solutions and do what’s best for our sport.” Franklin was responding to a question regarding Miami quarterback Cam Ward not playing the second half of the Hurricanes’ 42-41 loss to Iowa State in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Last year, four Penn State players opted out of the Peach Bowl: Olu Fashanu, Chop Robinson, Kalen King and Johnny Dixon. Three others sat out the second half: Theo Johnson, Adisa Isaac and Caedan Wallace. “It’s a challenge that has been a challenge for a number of years,” Franklin said. “It’s obviously become even more challenging with some of the things with the calendar and with the transfer portal, the windows; and then on top of that, NIL. “It’s one of those things that we can’t just keep talking about. We have to come up with some solutions.” Franklin also suggested eliminating conference championship games and teams playing the same amount of conference games. “We should be doing what’s best for college football and the student-athletes,” he said. “Getting rid of the conference championship games would help with that. When you have a (College Football Playoff) committee sitting in a room trying to compare apples to apples, it’s hard to do that when not everybody is playing under the same model. “I also think it’s very, very important that everybody is playing the same number of conference games, whether that’s eight, nine or whatever. Then the committee can compare apples to apples.” Embracing underdog role: Boise State arrived Saturday in Arizona for the Fiesta Bowl wearing T-shirts that said, “Please Count Us Out.” The Broncos (12-1) are 11-point underdogs against Penn State for Tuesday night’s game. “I definitely didn’t plan on it becoming a shirt,” Boise State coach Spencer Danielson said. “(But) that’s what I believe in and that’s what Boise State has been built on.” Danielson mentioned the Broncos’ thrilling overtime win over Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl as why fans across the country have been drawn to the program. “We have been counted out before,” he said. “We have been counted out as a program. We have been counted out in games this year, and you thrive in that.” Praise for Durant: Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty was asked if anyone on the Penn State defense other than All-American end Abdul Carter jumped out to him. “I know the interior guys kind of get overlooked,” said Jeanty, the nation’s top rusher. “To me, (tackle) Zane Durant is a baller. We’ve been talking about him since we’ve been game-planning. He’s a great player. He’s going to give us a run for our money.”15,830 Shares in Hancock Whitney Co. (NASDAQ:HWC) Acquired by B.
