gstar28 login register Garry Tierney describes the time he had a major stroke while driving on a notorious stretch of road as his lucky day. or signup to continue reading Two people stopped to help Mr Tierney and his partner Kim Cooper when his car swerved to the middle of busy Picton Road, south of Sydney, miraculously avoiding other vehicles. Paramedics happened to be driving by on that day in February 2022 and began first aid, before another ambulance arrived to take him to Liverpool Hospital for specialist stroke treatment. The second crew was trained to use the Zeus mobile app, allowing direct communication with a neurologist to decide on the fastest course of treatment. Half an hour after Mr Tierney arrived at the Sydney hospital, he was given clot-busting medication that quickly restored his speech, strength and movement. "It was just fate," Ms Cooper told AAP. Zeus has been trialled in NSW, Victoria, South Australia and the Northern Territory since 2021, with stroke experts hopeful of a permanent national roll-out if initial positive results prove definitive. The app allows paramedics to enter symptom information, imaging and medical data while communicating with a neurologist en-route to a hospital. It "turbo charges" collaboration between medical staff like never before, co-chair Geoffrey Donnan said. "Time is brain when it comes to treating stroke," Professor Donnan told AAP. "Every second and minute counts, so the quicker you can start treatment the better the outcomes." Early results from the use of Zeus in SA showed clot-busting medication was delivered in under 45 minutes in 33 per cent of cases in the first eight months of 2024, compared to 17 per cent of cases over the same period in 2023. There was also a 72 per cent reduction in unnecessary hospital transfers in that state, where eight regional hospitals . Those kinds of advances are critical in rural areas, where the incidence of strokes is 17 per cent higher but very few patients are typically treated in a specialist unit. "It's upsetting to see how they really are, for a lot of disease process managements, getting second-class service, which shouldn't be the case," Prof Donnan said. "But with all these technologies, I really see the opportunity to level the playing field." Amazon Web Services cloud-based technology supports the app's function, securely storing medical records and health data. Technology was increasingly breaking down geographic barriers to give patients access to better care, particularly as satellite-based internet improved, chief technologist for Australia, New Zealand and Oceania Simon Elisha said. "The best specialist probably isn't in your city and is definitely not in your suburb, so how do you get access to them?" Mr Elisha said. "Technology becomes the way to do that." Mr Tierney has resumed life as a father, grandfather and keen bowls player. "They saved my life," he said. Advertisement Sign up for our newsletter to stay up to date.

("Stran" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise, today announced that on December 17, 2024, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), issuing a Staff delisting determination (the “Staff Determination”). The Staff Determination noted that the Staff had notified the Company on June 21, 2024, August 23, 2024 and November 21, 2024 that the Company did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”) because the Company had not filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024 (the “Forms 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Staff Determination noted that, based on the Staff’s review and the materials submitted on August 20, 2024, the Staff granted the Company an exception until December 16, 2024 to regain compliance with the Filing Rule. The Staff Determination stated that the Company had not met the terms of the exception. Specifically, the Company has not filed the Forms 10-Q as required by the Filing Rule. The Staff Determination has no immediate effect and will not immediately result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s common stock. The Staff Determination notified the Company that the Company may request a hearing before a Hearings Panel (“Hearings Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. A request for a hearing regarding a delinquent filing will automatically stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for a period of 15 days from the date of the hearing request. However, when the Company requests a hearing, it may also request an extension of the stay through the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Hearings Panel following the hearing. However, there can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company an additional extension, or that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s request for an extended stay, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance by the end of any additional extension period. In the unlikely event that Nasdaq is not able to rule on the stay request prior to the expiration of the automatic stay, it has been Nasdaq’s recent practice to take no action until the Hearings Panel is able to make a ruling on the extended stay request. Upon such Hearings Panel ruling on the extended stay, the Company intends to make a further announcement. Accordingly, the Company intends to timely submit a request for a hearing and for an extended stay before a Hearings Panel. This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires the public announcement of the Staff Determination by issuing a press release, in addition to filing a Current Report on Form 8-K if required by SEC rules.

16 things our shopping editors waited all year until Black Friday to buyBy JILL COLVIN and STEPHEN GROVES WASHINGTON (AP) — After several weeks working mostly behind closed doors, Vice President-elect JD Vance returned to Capitol Hill this week in a new, more visible role: Helping Donald Trump try to get his most contentious Cabinet picks to confirmation in the Senate, where Vance has served for the last two years. Vance arrived at the Capitol on Wednesday with former Rep. Matt Gaetz and spent the morning sitting in on meetings between Trump’s choice for attorney general and key Republicans, including members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The effort was for naught: Gaetz announced a day later that he was withdrawing his name amid scrutiny over sex trafficking allegations and the reality that he was unlikely to be confirmed. Thursday morning Vance was back, this time accompanying Pete Hegseth, the “Fox & Friends Weekend” host whom Trump has tapped to be the next secretary of defense. Hegseth also has faced allegations of sexual assault that he denies. Vance is expected to accompany other nominees for meetings in coming weeks as he tries to leverage the two years he has spent in the Senate to help push through Trump’s picks.

Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) The role of introducing nominees around Capitol Hill is an unusual one for a vice president-elect. Usually the job goes to a former senator who has close relationships on the Hill, or a more junior aide. But this time the role fits Vance, said Marc Short, who served as Trump’s first director of legislative affairs as well as chief of staff to Trump’s first vice president, Mike Pence, who spent more than a decade in Congress and led the former president’s transition ahead of his first term. ”JD probably has a lot of current allies in the Senate and so it makes sense to have him utilized in that capacity,” Short said. Unlike the first Trump transition, which played out before cameras at Trump Tower in New York and at the president-elect’s golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, this one has largely happened behind closed doors in Palm Beach, Florida. There, a small group of officials and aides meet daily at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to run through possible contenders and interview job candidates. The group includes Elon Musk, the billionaire who has spent so much time at the club that Trump has joked he can’t get rid of him. Vance has been a constant presence, even as he’s kept a lower profile. The Ohio senator has spent much of the last two weeks in Palm Beach, according to people familiar with his plans, playing an active role in the transition, on which he serves as honorary chair. Vance has been staying at a cottage on the property of the gilded club, where rooms are adorned with cherubs, oriental rugs and intricate golden inlays. It’s a world away from the famously hardscrabble upbringing that Vance documented in the memoir that made him famous, “Hillbilly Elegy.” His young children have also joined him at Mar-a-Lago, at times. Vance was photographed in shorts and a polo shirt playing with his kids on the seawall of the property with a large palm frond, a U.S. Secret Service robotic security dog in the distance. Related Articles On the rare days when he is not in Palm Beach, Vance has been joining the sessions remotely via Zoom. Though he has taken a break from TV interviews after months of constant appearances, Vance has been active in the meetings, which began immediately after the election and include interviews and as well as presentations on candidates’ pluses and minuses. Among those interviewed: Contenders to replace FBI Director Christopher Wray , as Vance wrote in a since-deleted social media post. Defending himself from criticism that he’d missed a Senate vote in which one of President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees was confirmed, Vance wrote that he was meeting at the time “with President Trump to interview multiple positions for our government, including for FBI Director.” “I tend to think it’s more important to get an FBI director who will dismantle the deep state than it is for Republicans to lose a vote 49-46 rather than 49-45,” Vance added on X. “But that’s just me.” While Vance did not come in to the transition with a list of people he wanted to see in specific roles, he and his friend, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., who is also a member of the transition team, were eager to see former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. find roles in the administration. Trump ended up selecting Gabbard as the next director of national intelligence , a powerful position that sits atop the nation’s spy agencies and acts as the president’s top intelligence adviser. And he chose Kennedy to lead the Department of Health and Human Services , a massive agency that oversees everything from drug and food safety to Medicare and Medicaid. Vance was also a big booster of Tom Homan, the former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, who will serve as Trump’s “border czar.” In another sign of Vance’s influence, James Braid, a top aide to the senator, is expected to serve as Trump’s legislative affairs director. Allies say it’s too early to discuss what portfolio Vance might take on in the White House. While he gravitates to issues like trade, immigration and tech policy, Vance sees his role as doing whatever Trump needs. Vance was spotted days after the election giving his son’s Boy Scout troop a tour of the Capitol and was there the day of leadership elections. He returned in earnest this week, first with Gaetz — arguably Trump’s most divisive pick — and then Hegseth, who has was been accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2017, according to an investigative report made public this week. Hegseth told police at the time that the encounter had been consensual and denied any wrongdoing. Vance hosted Hegseth in his Senate office as GOP senators, including those who sit on the Senate Armed Services Committee, filtered in to meet with the nominee for defense secretary. While a president’s nominees usually visit individual senators’ offices, meeting them on their own turf, the freshman senator — who is accompanied everywhere by a large Secret Service detail that makes moving around more unwieldy — instead brought Gaetz to a room in the Capitol on Wednesday and Hegseth to his office on Thursday. Senators came to them. Vance made it to votes Wednesday and Thursday, but missed others on Thursday afternoon. Vance is expected to continue to leverage his relationships in the Senate after Trump takes office. But many Republicans there have longer relationships with Trump himself. Sen. Kevin Cramer, a North Dakota Republican, said that Trump was often the first person to call him back when he was trying to reach high-level White House officials during Trump’s first term. “He has the most active Rolodex of just about anybody I’ve ever known,” Cramer said, adding that Vance would make a good addition. “They’ll divide names up by who has the most persuasion here,” Cramer said, but added, “Whoever his liaison is will not work as hard at it as he will.” Cramer was complimentary of the Ohio senator, saying he was “pleasant” and ” interesting” to be around. ′′He doesn’t have the long relationships,” he said. “But we all like people that have done what we’ve done. I mean, that’s sort of a natural kinship, just probably not as personally tied.” Under the Constitution, Vance will also have a role presiding over the Senate and breaking tie votes. But he’s not likely to be needed for that as often as was Kamala Harris, who broke a record number of ties for Democrats as vice president, since Republicans will have a bigger cushion in the chamber next year.

But after a furious rally in the last seven weeks, the stock is suddenly among the S&P 500 Index’s best performers for 2024. What happened to trigger the turnaround? Nothing at the company, where demand for its cars is still wobbly and the future looks increasingly uncertain. Rather it was what investors regard as a political masterstroke by Tesla’s leader Elon Musk , aggressively supporting President-elect Donald Trump on the campaign trail and taking an unofficial role in his administration. “How do you put a value on the fact that Musk has deep access with the incoming administration?” said Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. “You can assign almost any number to it.” Investors seem to be doing just that. Prior to the US presidential election Tesla shares were down 2.3% for the year. Since Election Day, they’ve soared 73%, putting them up 69% for 2024. Meaning, in less than two months, the EV maker has added a staggering $572 billion to its market capitalization, bringing it to around $1.4 trillion, although nothing about the company fundamentally changed. Bloomberg Tesla shares slowed their roll this week, losing 3.5% after leaping more than 12% in each of the two prior weeks, as the Federal Reserve’s hawkish pivot sparked a wider selloff in equities. Saturday marks the four-year anniversary of the stock joining the S&P 500.

Despite Trump’s well known aversion to EVs, investors appear to be betting that Musk’s continued closeness to the administration will ease the way for Tesla’s ambition of building a fully self-driving car. Several Wall Street analysts have dramatically raised their price targets on the stock. They see the Trump White House as a game changer for self-driving technology and Tesla’s alignment with the new administration benefiting the company by easing regulations. Wobbly Platform But at the same time, the EV maker’s earnings and revenue expectations for 2024, 2025 and 2026 have plunged this year. And it remains unclear when its robotaxi initiative will start making money. That uncertainty about the next few years has some investors concerned that Tesla’s whopping market value is built on a wobbly platform. “There are massive hurdles for Tesla shares in 2025,” said Chris Gannatti, global head of research at Wisdomtree. “It is hard to imagine an upside scenario from here.” Between $500 billion and $600 billion of Tesla’s market cap is based on its EV and energy businesses, according to Evercore ISI analyst Chris McNally, with the rest ascribed to “things to come,” such as self-driving cars and humanoid robots. And calculations by Nicholas Colas, co-founder of DataTrek Research, show that over 90% of Tesla’s share price is tied to what the company might do in the future. You can see it in the company’s earnings valuations relative to another high-flyer: the artificial intelligence chip giant Nvidia Corp. Until recently, Nvidia was considered the hottest stock in the market. Now it’s Tesla’s turn. But based on their price-to-earnings ratios these are two very different businesses. Nvidia is currently trading at 32 times its projected earnings over the next 12 months, Tesla is at 129 times. Bloomberg That’s a substantial gap, particularly in light of the risks facing Tesla’s near-term performance. The Trump administration wants to cut federal subsidies for EVs, which will make the already expensive vehicles even pricier than gas-powered cars. About two-third of Tesla’s US sales, or about 20% of its global sales, benefit from the tax credit, Barclays analyst Dan Levy wrote in a note to clients this week. However, the move is likely to hurt the company’s smaller domestic competitors more, which could benefit Tesla by further consolidating its market position. Betting on easing regulations is dicey, however, because it can take a while to get done. And even if it happens, there’s little indication that Tesla’s Cybercab is ready to hit the road. If anything, loosening the rules before Tesla’s technology gets where it needs to be risks benefiting Tesla’s chief robotaxi competitor, Alphabet Inc.’s Waymo. “It is not regulation that is holding Tesla back when it comes to self-driving,” said Thomas Thornton, founder of Hedge Fund Telemetry. Betting on Power Theories about the parabolic rise of Tesla’s stock price abound on Wall Street. Investors want to bet on Musk’s growing power in Washington; the company’s massive following among retail traders is boosting the move. And Trump’s election win can transform the EV maker and offer massive future benefits. “People who bet against Musk and Tesla have consistently been proven wrong,” said Cole Wilcox, portfolio manager at Longboard Asset Management. “There is nothing in his way that can prevent him from executing his visions now.” In many ways, Tesla and Bitcoin have become the face of the post-election rally sparked by the return of animal spirits in markets. “This rally is reminiscent of the moves we saw in 2020 and 2021, only this time the Tesla story has many more intangibles,” Interactive Brokers’ Sosnick said. The stock gained more than 740% in 2020, and then rose another 74% through Nov. 4, 2021 to set a new all-time high. The difference is those gains came as Tesla’s sales and profits were soaring, and the outlook for EV demand was bright. But as the tech-mania of 2021 snapped amid fears about rising inflation and steep interest rates, Tesla shares retreated sharply. Then came the warnings of an unexpected slowdown in EV sales, and thinning profit margins, and the stock struggled to climb back to those prior highs. It set its first new record since 2021 after Trump was elected. The options market tells a similar story. Tesla is such a favorite among derivatives traders that over the past month it has been the fifth largest equity options position in the US by notional volume, according to Rocky Fishman, founder of Asym 500. The top four are the S&P 500, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust, the Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 and the Nasdaq 100 Index. “There is a dramatic reach for upside,” said Tom Keen, options trader at Piper Sandler. “And since owning call options on the stock has been working, people just keep doing that.” As long as this kind of pattern holds, Tesla shares can keep rising. After all, its investors are no strangers to such rapid rallies. And with Musk having a role in the Trump administration, there’s no telling where the company ultimately ends up. “The problem is that there’s only one public market play on Musk, and its symbol is TSLA,” DataTrek’s Colas said. “That makes it the focus of global investors, and valuation simply is not a consideration for many of them.” (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )
