Alabama A&M linebacker Medrick Burnett Jr. died Tuesday night due to a head injury sustained exactly one month earlier in a game against Alabama State. He was 20. Alabama A&M announced Burnett's death on Wednesday. "Today, our Bulldog family is heartbroken by the loss of Medrick Burnett Jr.," Alabama A&M athletic director Dr. Paul A. Bryant said in a statement. "Medrick was more than an exceptional athlete; he was a remarkable young man whose positive energy, leadership, and compassion left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him. While words cannot adequately express our grief, we are humbled by the strength of his family, who stood by his side throughout this unimaginable ordeal. "We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Medrick's parents, siblings, and loved ones. We also offer our heartfelt support to his teammates, coaches, and the entire Alabama A&M community who are mourning this loss. In this moment of sorrow, we come together to honor Medrick's legacy and celebrate the light he brought to our lives." According to a GoFundMe page from his sister, Dominece James, Burnett was injured in a head-to-head collision in the 27-19 loss against Alabama State in the Magic City Classic at Birmingham. She displayed a hospital picture showing her brother heavily inundated with tubes and other equipment. James said her brother had severe brain swelling and bleeding. WAFF-TV in Huntsville, Ala., displayed a video of the play in which he was hurt, though it is unclear exactly how he was injured so severely. The footage also showed Burnett being taken off the field on a stretcher. Burnett gave a thumbs-up to the crowd while being wheeled off. According to the station, Burnett's condition worsened in the days following the game. Burnett, a redshirt freshman from Lakewood, Calif., had five tackles in seven games this season. He was a transfer from Grambling State. Alabama A&M (6-5) is scheduled to play at Florida A&M on Friday. --Field Level Media REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

A group, KWARABUILD, over the weekend, trained 1,500 youths from across North Central and beyond in technology aimed at achieving self-dependence and economic empowerment. A co-founder of the group, Ibraheem Zulkifli, on Saturday, at the main conference marking the end of the three-day event, told newsmen that the group trained participants in various technological skills to help them build their future. “Our aim is to uncover the hidden talents in the participants (youths) during the three-day event,” he said. He stated that the group sought collaboration from the state government and other major stakeholders for easier access to youths eager to escape the cycles of poverty and unemployment. According to him, participants were taught on Thursday and Friday how to find and apply solutions to varying technological challenges. He, however, commended the state government for providing the enabling environment for youths to thrive, saying, “It has never been like this in Kwara State; we are grateful to the state government.” Kamaldeen Kehinde, another co-founder of KWARABUILD, stated that the event was the seventh and had successfully relieved Kwarans of the need to attend similar events in Lagos and other neighboring states. Another Abuja-based co-founder, Adeola Olaleye, said, “We use our forum to create an environment for the youths to realize their talents.” The state government, through the Managing Director of the Ilorin Innovative Hub, commended the group for blazing the trail in what he described as the largest youth gathering in the state. “Kwara government has always encouraged any individual or group that will take up the challenges of the youths. We are interested in serious, massive empowerment of the youths,” he stressed. Two participants, Salahudeen AbdulRauf and Kulepa Boluwatife, confessed to having improved their knowledge of technology and computer software, respectively.Nirupam Sinha to Join Company on January 6, 2025 CHICAGO , Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc.

But something has come onto my radar recently as an opportunity for the New Year. Last week, distributor ( ) saw its share price drop 7% in a day. The catalyst was the latest trading update, but this could be my chance to buy a stock I’ve been watching for a while. What’s the news? Bunzl’s latest report was a bit of a mixed bag. Revenues for 2024 are expected to be slightly lower than the previous year, with lower prices weighing on results. This is the bad news, but there are positive elements beneath the surface. Despite (or maybe due to) lower prices, volumes remained strong and the effect of helped boost sales. The outlook, however, was much more positive. Bunzl is expecting more substantial revenue growth in 2025, driven by both acquisitions and organic sales increases. On top of this, the company is forecasting resilient margins. These are higher than they were before the pandemic and the expectation is that they’ll stay this way going into 2025. My investment thesis I’m looking to buy the stock anywhere below £33 (it’s slightly above that at the moment). At that level, the company’s market cap is just below £11bn and I can see a path to a decent return at that valuation. Over the next year, the firm is set to return around £200m of its market cap to investors, in addition to a dividend with a yield of 70p per share. That’s a return of around 4% to start with. On top of this, the company is looking to deploy £700m into acquisitions. If this results in 3% annual growth, there’s an opportunity for a 7% return that I expect to increase over time. The Bunzl share price fell to around £31 earlier this year, but I wasn’t decisive enough to act. Given the opportunity again in 2025, I’m determined not to miss out. Risks The risk with Bunzl is that acquisition opportunities either don’t present themselves, or come at prices that are too high. That would be a problem for the company’s growth prospects. The firm thinks it has a durable pipeline of opportunities, but even the best investors make mistakes in this regard. So the risk can’t be overlooked. One thing to note about Bunzl though, is that it has stated its intention to return cash to shareholders if it can’t find companies to buy. And I think that’s the right approach to take. If the opportunities aren’t there, a £700m return of capital wouldn’t be the worst outcome. At the prices I’m targeting, it would be an annual return of 6.3% to go with the 2.2% dividend. Buying the dip The time to buy shares in quality businesses is when they hit temporary downturns. And I think this is what’s going on with Bunzl at the moment. I can see why investors might think buying a stock at a price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 22 when revenues are falling is a bad idea. But beneath the surface, I think if I don’t buy I’d miss an opportunity.

At a memorial service held to mark the death anniversary of S.S. Badrinath, founder of Sankara Nethralaya, on Saturday, speakers recalled his contributions to the field of ophthalmology, his motive of providing affordable and accessible eye care for all and imparting training to doctors across the country, and his professional integrity and humility. P. Namperumalsamy, Chairman Emeritus, Aravind Eye Care System, speaking at the memorial service held at Sankara Nethralaya, said he was closely associated with Dr. Badrinath for half a century. “We worked under the same mentor (Charles L. Schepens) and imbibed the same work culture,” he said. Their mentor, he added, had one condition for foreign medical graduates — he wanted them to pledge to go back to their country of origin and serve their people. Dr. Badrinath wanted to ensure quality treatment for everyone and worked with the motive to provide affordable and accessible care for all, he said, adding: “He made sure that he trained people all over the country.” Dr. Namperumalsamy said: “He mastered a complex surgical specialty and established technology expertise.” Referring to Sankara Nethralaya and Aravind Eye Care System, N. Ram, Director, The Hindu Group Publishing Private Limited, said they were two models that everyone should learn from. “Two models of not-for-profit ventures started decades ago, both making a huge difference in the state of eye care in the country, and founded by iconic figures,” he said. He said the two models were able to sustain themselves in terms of quality, impact, and scale over such a long period, which was a considerable achievement. “Dr. Badrinath and Dr. Namperumalsamy are iconic figures in the field of eye care, not only in India but also internationally,” he said. T.S. Surendran, chairman, Sankara Nethralaya, Prema Padmanabhan, distinguished senior consultant, cornea and refractive surgery, Sankara Nethralaya, and Smita Praveen, director, academics and registrar, The Sankara Nethralaya Academy, also spoke. Published - November 23, 2024 10:20 pm IST Copy link Email Facebook Twitter Telegram LinkedIn WhatsApp RedditA sensor has been developed to monitor fluctuating proteins within the body in real time. This is in the form of a new implantable medical device that functions ‘like a tree branch’ to grab proteins. The device comprises strands of DNA that stick to proteins, shake them off and then grab more proteins. To present the benefits of the device, the Northwestern University researchers used an animal study to deploy the device to accurately track biomarkers of inflammation (assessing protein biomarkers of inflammation in diabetic rats). Going forwards, the device could additionally track protein markers for other illnesses, including heart failure. According to lead researcher Shana O. Kelley , interviewed by Lab Manager : “The device’s design is analogous to a continuous glucose monitor that sits on your arm and measures levels right beneath your skin. You can see that your glucose levels are increasing in real-time. But then maybe you take your insulin, and your glucose goes back down.” Kelley adds: “You need to be able to measure trends in the wrong direction and trends in the right direction. It’s the same with proteins in inflammation. We need to track fluctuations in order to get a full picture of what’s happening in the body. This is a completely new capability — to be able to watch inflammation in real time. There are a huge number of applications that we are now beginning to explore.” The nanoscale sensors are described by the researchers are resembling ‘rows of bulbous pendulums’, each comprising a double-stranded cord of DNA. One end of the DNA strand is attached to an electrode, and the other end is attached to another bit of DNA that binds to a desired protein. When the researchers apply an alternating electric field, the pendulum-like sensors swing back and forth — flinging off proteins within a mere minute and catching others. The DNA sensors can ‘release’ their proteins after each measurement cycle, enabling continuous, real-time monitoring inside the body. For the animal study, the researchers designed sensors to bind to two protein cytokines, which are key markers of inflammation. Then they attached the device into the skin of rats with diabetes. Because diabetes and inflammation are tightly linked, many complications associated with diabetes are caused by inflammation. The sensors successfully measured concentration changes of both proteins within fluid. When the rats fasted or received insulin, the sensors tracked cytokine levels as they drifted down. Conversely, when researchers injected the rats with a substance that agitates the immune system, the inflammatory cytokine levels rapidly shot up. The research has been published in the journal Science , titled “Active-reset protein sensors enable continuous in vivo monitoring of inflammation.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.
