The Denver Broncos had a bit of drama going on this offseason between them and their best offensive player, Courtland Sutton. If you remember correctly, Sutton wanted a new deal with a bit more money, and in a way, he got that. He wanted more guaranteed money, and they gave him that, along with some incentives. In other words, the Broncos set out some target goals of stats that, if he reached them, would grant him more money. Well, after a great start to the season for Sutton, who is looking elite in 2024, it's safe to say he will need the help of his rookie quarterback Bo Nix even more. He's just six yards from securing an additional $250 thousand and 321 yards from claiming the entire $1.5 million bonus that he initially signed on for with the extension the Denver Broncos gave him. Sutton already unlocked $500 thousand by eclipsing 500 receiving yards. The Broncos have a tough schedule coming up against some decent pass defenses. But, it seems like they are going to be very capable of getting the passing game going, especially when it comes to getting Sutton the ball. The Broncos are one of the hottest teams on offense the last few weeks. They dominated the Atlanta Falcons and really were in control the whole time against the Las Vegas Raiders. With a game against the Cleveland Browns next, the Broncos should be in good shape. This article first appeared on A to Z Sports and was syndicated with permission.
The Liberal candidate in a federal byelection in British Columbia says she is applying for Métis membership after a local group questioned her claims of Indigenous identity. Madison Fleischer says in a written statement that she self-identifies as Métis based on what she knows about her great-grandmother’s heritage and is “collecting the necessary documentation to go through the application process” for citizenship with B.C.‘s Métis Nation. In the meantime, Fleischer, who is the candidate in the Dec. 16 byelection in Cloverdale-Langley City, says she has removed “Métis” from her social media profile descriptions to ensure there is “no confusion” about her Indigenous status. Her response comes after the Waceya Métis Society — which describes itself as a chartered community representing Métis people in the Langley and White Rock regions of B.C.‘s Lower Mainland — said in a release that it “wishes to distance itself from Madison’s claims of Métis identity.” The society says it met with Fleischer over the weekend to discuss her claims of Métis identity but was “disappointed that she could not provide any evidence to support her Métis heritage.” The attention on Fleischer comes after Edmonton Centre Liberal MP Randy Boissonnault left cabinet last week amid questions about his shifting claims of Indigenous heritage and his business dealings. In her statement, Fleischer says she has “always been vocal about not yet holding Métis Nation British Columbia citizenship.” The Waceya Métis Society says it has asked Fleischer to “properly research and verify her Indigenous heritage before making any further public assertions.” “In this meeting, Madison was unable to substantiate her claims with any documentation or historical connections to Métis communities,” the society says about their Nov. 23 meeting with Fleischer. “The integrity of Métis identity is not to be taken lightly, especially in public office, where the representation of our community must be accurate, respectful, and legitimate.” Cloverdale-Langley City was previously held by Liberal John Aldag, who resigned to run for MLA with the B.C. New Democrats. Aldag was defeated by B.C. Conservative candidate Harman Bhangu in the Langley-Abbotsford seat in the Oct. 19 provincial election. Fleischer, whose Liberal party biography calls her a small-business owner who operates a public relations firm in Langley, is going up against candidates including federal Conservative Tamara Jansen, who held the seat from 2019 to 2021 before losing a close race to Aldag.

Four years later, he is vowing to save the viral video app as it quickly approaches a January deadline that could have the service banned in the U.S. While TikTok finds itself in a thorny spot in Washington, one possible way out is being increasingly discussed by longtime TikTok watchers: Trump extending the app's January divest-or-be-banned date and then leaning into his dealmaker image by attempting to broker a agreement for TikTok to be sold off. But according to analysts who study TikTok's battle with Washington, both the Chinese government and TikTok's Beijing-based owner ByteDance could be warming up to the idea of TikTok becoming majority-owned by an American company, or a group of U.S. investors. Experts told NPR that if China can extract some tariff concessions alongside a possible TikTok deal, officials there could become more receptive to a sale, something Beijing has long resisted. From TikTok crackdown to TikTok savior In his first term, Trump signed executive orders aimed at shutting down TikTok on national security grounds over its ties to China, but those efforts were blocked by federal courts. Now, Trump has changed his tune. Trump started telegraphing his about-face on TikTok back in March. In one post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump wrote that outlawing the Chinese-owned video-streaming app would be a gift to Meta's Facebook. He called Facebook "a true Enemy of the People!" for "cheating" in the last election — a claim that has not been proven. Then in June, Trump's campaign joined TikTok in an apparent effort to connect with younger voters. Multiple reports have tied Trump's change of heart on TikTok to an effort to court billionaire Republican donor Jeff Yass, whose investment company, Susquehanna International Group, has a large stake in ByteDance , TikTok's Beijing-based owner. While Yass never publicly endorsed Trump, he funneled millions into groups including the super PAC Club for Growth that backed conservative policies in the 2024 election. A request for comment attempting to reach Yass through Susquehanna International Group was not returned. The Trump transition team did not return a request for comment about Yass, nor about any potential TikTok sale. In a March interview with CNBC, Trump said Yass had not brought up TikTok with him. A spokesman for TikTok referred NPR to a legal filing in its pending case against the Biden administration arguing that fully divesting from ByteDance is "not commercial, not technically, not legally" possible. Current and former members of the intelligence community in Washington view the Chinese Communist Party's potential influence over TikTok as a national security risk. "As long as TikTok is controlled by an entity under the jurisdiction of the CCP, it's not great for Americans," said Megan Stifel, the former director of international cyber policy on the National Security Council under President Obama. "TikTok should be viewed in terms of how it can be leveraged for untoward intentions and part of a broader canvass of data the CCP is constantly collecting." All eyes on outcome of TikTok legal battle over its fate ByteDance's ownership of TikTok has led to a bipartisan movement against it, with lawmakers and national security officials fearful that China could one day use the app to spread disinformation or to conduct mass surveillance. A federal law Congress passed in April stipulates that TikTok be banned by Jan. 19 unless ByteDance fully divests from it. The next day, Trump is set to be sworn into office. The ban, however, is not expected to take effect instantly. The law forces app stores controlled by Apple and Google to remove TikTok. It also makes it illegal for web-hosting services to support TikTok. The enactment and enforcement of these provisions could be delayed by the pending litigation or Trump taking action. Looming over all the talks about a possible TikTok sale is a court battle over the legality of the law. A panel of three judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard arguments in September from the Justice Department and lawyers for TikTok over whether the law is constitutional. The Justice Department argued that the divest-or-ban law is justified because Americans' data and views cannot be potentially vulnerable to decisions made by China, a foreign adversary of the U.S. But attorneys for TikTok say banning the app violates the free speech of millions of Americans, some of whom turn to the service to express their political views. Lawyers from both sides have asked the judges to make a decision by Dec.6. There could be a drawn-out appeals process. Either party can ask for an "en banc" review of the case, which means the case would be re-argued before all 11 judges on the D.C. appeals court. And from there, the matter can be appealed to the Supreme Court. But if the court overturns the law, the Trump administration may decide not to appeal, in line with the president-elect's new view that TikTok should not be banned. TikTok sale as possible trade bargaining chip? If the law is ultimately upheld, Trump may try to strike a deal that would spin the app off, and that agreement might become part of much larger trade discussions with China, according to Daniel Lyons, law professor at Boston College who specializes in internet law. "In his mind, it might be 'What are the benefits of a win on TikTok versus the cost of trade concessions?" Lyons said. James Lewis, a former diplomat now at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, agreed that Chinese officials could entertain a sale if it becomes part of the larger trade debate. "If ByteDance can stay a passive owner, if the Chinese have some sort of degree of control over the algorithm, and TikTok can operate in the places it's allowed to operate now, it might be enough for them to swallow," he said. That's a lot of "ifs." It's unclear if the incoming Trump administration would allow for a sale in which ByteDance stayed a minority owner. And past proposals, including a pitch earlier this year from former Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin to organize a group of investors to purchase TikTok without the recommendation algorithm that determines what people see on the app, have drawn deep skepticism from technologists, who point out that it's one of the app's most valuable assets. Still, China experts say Beijing may view a TikTok deal as leverage in trying to tamp down some of Trump's promised steep tariffs against the country. (On the campaign trail, Trump said he'd levy 60% percent tariffs on Chinese imports. In social media posts on Monday, he said it would be 10% .) "TikTok may be a bargaining chip both for the Chinese and the Trump administration when it comes to discussions around tariffs," said Emile Dirks, research associate at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab who studies Chinese politics. "The question is what kind of relationship does the U.S. want to have with China? What kind of Chinese state influence, or Chinese corporate influence, is the country willing to accept?" While possible bidders, and TikTok's price tag, remain unknown, a surprise partnership between software giant Oracle and Walmart teamed up back in 2020 in a failed attempt to take over TikTok . Despite support from Trump, the deal fell through, as TikTok piled up victories in court and China opposed any sale. Experts say if bidders are sought, another joint corporate proposal is likely, given how expensive TikTok could be to buy. ByteDance has valued itself at $300 billion, making it the most-valuable private startup in the world. That's roughly double the worth of ChatGPT maker OpenAI. "I think there are people who are hoping for Trump to force a fire sale for TikTok and get it at a lower price," said Lewis, adding that "there will be a lot of China hawks in the administration who will be reluctant to give up much ground on TikTok." Best predictor of what will happen? Ask the Magic 8 Ball With 170 million users in the U.S., TikTok is a cultural and economic force, and is one of the most influential social media apps among young Americans. If a sale doesn't pan out, other options TikTok watchers are speculating about include Congress repealing the law — which currently appears unlikely, according to those close to the talks. Trump could also instruct his attorney general not to enforce the law, giving the company some breathing room. And finally, Trump could bless a $2 billion effort to wall off U.S. data from Beijing, known as Project Texas, in which Austin-based software and cloud-computing company Oracle would monitor TikTok's data flows and audit the app's algorithm. The plan was rejected by the Biden administration for falling short of full ByteDance divestiture. "The best predictor of what the new administration's policies will be on TikTok," said Lewis with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, "remains the Magic 8 Ball."The social media industry is fiercely competitive. As President-elect Donald Trump nears his inauguration, could he sell his stock in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp DJT ? The Competition: Trump Media’s Truth Social faces competition from the usual suspects, Meta Platforms -owned Facebook and Instagram. It also is a competitor of Elon Musk ‘s X, formerly known as Twitter. Musk is a close ally and benefactor of Trump’s campaign. Bluesky , a newcomer on the social media scene, is making headlines. The Jack Dorsey -founded app saw a large influx of users following Trump’s win in November, apparently those displeased with Musk’s leadership of X in recent years. Could Trump Sell?: Trump is technically able to sell his stake in Truth Social ahead of his inauguration. The billionaire owns 115 million shares in the Sarasota, Florida-based company, placing his total position at around $3.9 billion. The company has 216,924,448 shares outstanding. Trump has denied the rumors of possible share sales, calling them “fake and untrue.” Shares of the company rose following Trump’s statement . While Trump Media has a market capitalization of $7.7 billion, it reported $1 million in revenue last quarter on a $19.2 million net loss. The loss includes $12.1 million in legal fees and $3.9 million in research and development spending, according to the company. The company has a book value of over $800,000,000; most of its assets are in cash and short-term investments, proceeds from issuing common stock.

Motta satisfied with point as 'compact' Juventus draw at VillaNov. 25—OPINION AND COMMENTARY — Editorials and other Opinion content offer perspectives on issues important to our community and are independent from the work of our newsroom reporters. The Wichita City Council often leaves you shaking your head, but this week, you're lucky if you don't need a neck brace. The council and staff spent four hours Tuesday night pleading poverty as they debated how (not whether) to implement widespread paid parking in now-free lots and streets downtown. Then, a few minutes later, they spent another hour deciding to spend more than half a million dollars on two high tech outhouses for Naftzger and A. Price Woodard parks. And since the meeting, council member Dalton Glasscock, who opposed the potty project, has announced plans to tear a page from Donald Trump's playbook and appoint his own personal DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), which is a spectacularly bad idea for reasons I'll get to in a minute. But first, let's talk downtown parking. City staff wants to charge for it, desperately. So do some downtown development interests, who have their eye on land that's now used for parking lots that they want to buy on the cheap for new projects, which would require their own set of city subsidies including (but not limited to) more city-funded parking garages. Unsurprisingly, the vast majority of Wichitans who go downtown are opposed to paying for what they now get for free. They're also not happy with the idea of the city hiring a private company from Idaho to write more tickets. Also unsurprisingly, they've been pushed aside. While the council can't agree on a plan, there's apparently unanimous agreement that we're going through with a massive exercise in extracting money from people with cars. Only the details are to be worked out — to be continued on Dec. 10. If you're angry about this, you have every right to be. Squishy numbers What I'm most angry about is that the numbers used to justify paid parking keep changing. The city's mantra has been for months that the fund for parking operation and maintenance has been losing money since 2018. Then, an annoying local newspaper columnist did some addition and subtraction and pointed out that if you take away the two COVID-19 years of 2020 and 2021, when business shutdowns brought downtown parking virtually to a halt, the city actually made a little money on the parking fund. City staff now says the numbers they've been showing in public meetings for months are wrong and that a $53,000 profit last year was really a loss, because of unspecified bills that were paid late, or something. And then there's the issue of "deferred maintenance" of city-owned garages, some of which serve the general public and others that are technically kind of open, but essentially serve as private parking for nearby businesses, including the Drury Hotel, River Vista Apartments and King of Freight. In September, Assistant City Manager Troy Anderson, City Hall's point man for paid parking, said there's $8.3 million in deferred maintenance needed on the garages. In two months, that figure has blossomed to $18 million. The list of projects needing to be done? There isn't one, although Mayor Lily Wu has requested that one be prepared. I can't wait for that list to come out so I can walk the garages and see what really needs work, what are the "wouldn't it be nice?" items and what's just make-believe. Wu has expressed her displeasure that the council may have to divert other money in its capital improvement plan to backstop deferred maintenance on the garages. I would gently suggest that the city scrap another plan of questionable popularity and utility, the ongoing "road diet." This consists of turning one-way streets downtown back into the two-way streets they originally were, while reducing car lanes and adding bike paths that hardly anyone's going to use. That's about $8 million right there. Toilets of steel Speaking of boondoggles, let's return to the case of the pricey privies. City staff recommended and the council approved the purchase and installation of two "Portland Loo" compact outdoor restrooms at a cost of $531,878. They're made of specially coated stainless steel, so it's relatively easy to remove paint or Sharpie graffiti (or replace a panel if someone scratches graffiti in it). And they have blue LED lighting, which makes it harder for intravenous drug users to find a vein. But the signature feature of the Portland Loo is that it has louvers at ground level so interested bystanders can count the number of feet in the stall, to detect possible conduct of a sexual nature taking place inside. In addition to being expensive to buy and install, most cities that have them report cleaning and repair costs of about $11,000 to $20,000 per unit per year — although Wichita City Hall is saying they know a guy who can do it for $5,000. If it were up to me, I'd just put out a couple of regular porta-potties and see how it goes. Paint the inside with a graffiti-resistant coating to deter vandalism and let some local art students decorate the outside and call it public art. Quite honestly, if someone's desperate enough to shoot up or have sex in an outdoor toilet, I'd categorize that as none of my business, and I really don't even want to know. No to local DOGE Glasscock, once a fairly midstream Republican, is the business guy for national right-wing commentator/radio host/podcaster/influencer Todd Starnes, so he has to ride the Trump train to wherever it may lead. And mimicking Trump's example, Glasscock is proposing to set up a DOGE, a quasi-governmental group to comb through the city's books and tell him where to cut spending and who to fire. While on the surface it sounds like a worthy endeavor, such groups almost always consist of "concerned citizens" who are mainly concerned with how they can make bank off inside information and influencing government decisions. We're already seeing it in Washington's version of DOGE, headed up by billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, with support from Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, America's Worst Congressperson (tm). Since the election, stock in Musk's Tesla car company has gone up from $242.84 a share to $353.92 at this writing. Tesla buyers have been getting $7,500 tax credits to buy Musk's cars for years, but now that his company dominates the electric vehicle market, he wants to eliminate the tax credits to keep the competition from catching up, Autoweek reports. Even the name DOGE was calculated to put more money in Musk's pocket. The acronym's a free plug for Dogecoin cryptocurrency. Musk has said he owns "a bunch" of Dogecoin — and it's doubled in value since Election Day. So I agree with Glasscock that the Toilet of Steel is a waste of money that could be better spent elsewhere. But on the upside, a Portland Loo would be the perfect place to stick Glasscock's plan for a DOGE of his own. (c)2024 The Wichita Eagle (Wichita, Kan.)

Coming full circle: Tofel named Chief Quality Officer at TFISNP plans to cut national speed limit by 10MPH in 'nanny state' proposal that critics say will make journeys take longer The move will result in different speeding laws either side of the Border Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport By MICHAEL BLACKLEY, POLITICAL EDITOR FOR THE SCOTTISH DAILY MAIL Published: 21:14, 27 November 2024 | Updated: 21:15, 27 November 2024 e-mail 2 View comments The national speed limit is set to be slashed to 50 miles per hour on all of Scotland’s single carriageway roads under ‘nanny state’ proposals by SNP ministers. Motorists will be forced to cut their maximum speed by ten miles per hour as part of the biggest overhaul of driving laws in years. The move will result in significant differences in speeding laws on either side of the Border. Ministers claim it will save 170 lives over the next 60 years and prevent 720 serious accidents. Critics have blasted the ‘ludicrous’ proposals and said the Nationalists’ failure to fully dual key roads such as the A9, between Perth and Inverness, the A96, which links Aberdeen and Inverness, and the A75 between Stranraer and Gretna, has compromised road safety. North East Scotland Conservative MSP Douglas Lumsden said: ‘This is a ludicrous measure which seeks to demonise motorists in rural areas who rely on using a car. ‘Unlike the Central Belt, the North and North East don’t have the luxury of motorways connecting locations across the region. ‘The SNP government should be prioritising the upgrade of our single carriageway roads, like the A96 and A90 north of Ellon, instead of implementing ridiculous schemes like this to cover their failings.’ The move would see the national speed limit in Scotland cut from 60MPH to 50MPH Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop has attempted to defend the move, saying it could lead to a reduction in the number of injuries and claiming journey times would stay the same The measure was set out in a ‘national speed management review’ consultation published by Transport Scotland yesterday. It claimed the move could ‘significantly reduce’ the number of accidents which cause injuries. The document said that, after the first year, there could be four fewer fatal accidents, while the number of serious injury collisions could reduce by 14 and slight injury accidents by six. Over a 60-year period, it said fatalities would decline by 170, serious injuries by 720 and slight injuries by 378. It ruled out cutting the speed on motorways and dual carriageways because ‘they are regarded as Scotland’s safest roads and reducing speeds could significantly impact journey times’. Ian Taylor of the Alliance of British Drivers said: ‘There is very little evidence that perpetually lowering speed limits has a beneficial effect on accidents. Click here to visit the Scotland home page for the latest news and sport Advertisement ‘Speed is the primary cause of a minority of accidents, and less than people not being able to judge properly, drink and drug driving and inattention. ‘The people asking for this are trying to take us back to the fuel crisis of the 1970s, when there was a temporary 50mph speed limit. It is extremely nanny state and it is asking to be disobeyed.’ As well as reducing the national speed limit on single carriageway roads from 60mph to 50mph for general traffic, the consultation proposes increasing the limit for lorries and HGVs over 7.5 tons by 10mph to 50mph on single carriageway roads and to 60mph on dual carriageways. Steve Gooding, director of the RAC Foundation, said ministers should bear in mind the public reaction to the Welsh government’s introduction of a default 20mph limit. ‘It will be important to convince Scottish road users that the changes are necessary and proportionate,’ he said. ‘This change needs to be seen in the context of broader road safety measures, not least those around engineering Scottish roads to be safer – this might include better road surfaces, improved junction layouts and appropriate lighting.’ Scottish Tory transport spokesman Sue Webber said: ‘The SNP are only trying to slow down drivers because they’ve been so slow to deliver vital infrastructure projects across Scotland.’ The consultation was published ahead of ministers giving a statement to parliament today on the A96 corridor review. The Scottish Greens said that ‘there is no economic or environmental case for dualling every square inch of the A96 and the SNP must accept this and halt the project’. Transport Secretary Fiona Hyslop said: ‘Evidence from the national speed management review indicates that revising speed limits could lead to a significant reduction in the number of injury collisions on our roads while maintaining journey times and enhancing journey time reliability.’ SNP Perth Share or comment on this article: SNP plans to cut national speed limit by 10MPH in 'nanny state' proposal that critics say will make journeys take longer e-mail Add comment
Stealth destroyer to be home for 1st hypersonic weapon on a US warship
SINGAPORE, Nov. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd (("Trident" or the "Company, NASDAQ: TDTH ), a leading digital transformation facilitator in the e-commerce enablement and digital optimization services market for small and medium enterprise (SMEs) in Singapore, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Initial Public Offering On September 11, 2024, the Company closed the initial public offering of 1,800,000 American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") at a price to the public of US$5.00 per ADS. Each ADS represents eight Class B Ordinary Shares of the Company. Trident's ADSs began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market on September 10, 2024, under the symbol "TDTH." First Half of 2024 Financial Highlights Total revenues were US$378,839, compared to US$481,165 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Net loss was US$1,927,027, compared to US$1,861,412 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Soon Huat Lim, Trident's Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our recent performance comes as we continue our ongoing business transformation, marked by our successful listing on Nasdaq this September. While we're pleased with this important milestone in our corporate journey, we're equally encouraged by the growing momentum of Tridentity, our Web 3.0 e-commerce platform launched in December 2023. As we navigate our business transition, we're strategically investing in innovation and market expansion while maintaining disciplined resource allocation. The increasing adoption of our solutions across key verticals such as food and beverage, fintech, and retail validates our vision of bridging businesses to a secure and trusted digital commerce ecosystem. Looking ahead, we remain focused on leveraging our position as a U.S.-listed company to accelerate our growth and deliver long-term shareholder value." Haiyan Huang, Trident's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our first half results reflect the ongoing transformation of our business model and the investments we are making to position ourselves for future growth. Our total revenues declined 21.3% year over year as we sought to prioritize the shift towards our Web 3.0 e-commerce platform. Our strategic investments in the business transformation, while impacting our near-term profitability, are essential to ensuring the security, functionality, and overall success of our platform. We remain focused on the disciplined execution of our transition strategy as we seek to become a leader in Web 3.0 enablement."

The decrease was primarily due to the Company's strategic shift towards prioritizing its Web 3.0 e-commerce platform, Tridentity, a core growth area for its long-term vision in the future. As a result, the Company allocated fewer resources to its consulting and IT customization business. This realignment allows the Company to concentrate on expanding its presence in Tridentity, positioning Trident to capture new opportunities in a rapidly advancing digital ecosystem. Tridentity, the Company's flagship product, is a cutting-edge identity app built on blockchain technology, designed to provide secure single sign-on capabilities to integrated third-party systems in various industries, which was launched in December 2023. Tridentity currently includes three primary business modules: Tri-event for NFT (Non-Fungible Token) event ticketing, Tri-food for block-chain powered food delivery, and Tri-verse for virtual community connecting its users. As the platform remains in the development, optimization, and gradual testing stages, the Company generated only US$1,872 in revenue from providing technical support for selling event tickets on behalf of merchants through Tridentity for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Cost of Revenues For the six months ended June 30, Variances 2024 2023 Amount % Service fees $ 358,534 $ 246,572 $ 111,962 45.41 % Direct labor costs - 122,142 (122,142 ) -100.00 % Miscellaneous cost 1,856 20,855 (18,999 ) -91.10 % Total cost of revenues $ 360,390 $ 389,569 $ (29,179 ) -7.49 % The Company's cost of revenues decreased by 7.49% from US$389,569 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to US$360,390 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in direct labor cost and miscellaneous costs in total of US$141,141 as a result of a significant reduction in headcount in response to lower business volumes and cost controls, and partially offset by an increase of service fees in the amount of US$111,962 as a result of the fulfillment of slightly increased number of management software solutions projects since the second half of 2023. Gross profit and margin As a result of the factors described above, the Company recorded a gross profit of US$0.09 million and US$0.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, representing a gross profit margin of 19.0% and 4.9%, respectively. The decrease in gross profit margin was primarily due to the decrease in IT consulting services with relatively higher gross margin and high proportion of revenues in the first half of 2023, which had no revenue in the first half of 2024. Operating expenses Selling expenses The Company's selling and marketing expenses slightly increased from US$253,343 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to US$264,326 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to hiring of additional business development personnel to support the launch, operation and promotion of Tridentity since the second half of 2023, which was partially offset by the decrease in marketing and advertising expenses due to the Company's strict control over discretionary spending. General and administrative expenses The Company's general and administrative expenses decreased slightly from US$1,551,710 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to US$1,528,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in professional service fees and other overhead expenses, which was partially offset by an increase in payroll expenses due to additional headcount in management. Research and development expenses The Company's research and development expenses decreased from US$192,855 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to US$172,519 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the decrease in system development expenses for which there will be no further related expenses in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in payroll expenses, outsource service fees and the technical support expenses for Tridentity. Other income, net The Company's other income, net decreased from US$44,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to US$19,391 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease of interest income and the depreciation of the Singapore dollar against the U.S. dollar in the Company's reporting currency translation from S$1.3523 to US$1.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to S$1.3552 to US$1.00 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, leading to a decrease in unrealized gain as the foreign currency exposures are liabilities.

WASHINGTON: Donald Trump threatened to begin his presidency with a massive trade war — and diplomatic crisis — as he demanded China, Canada and Mexico stop illegal immigration and drug smuggling into the United States or face punitive US import tariffs. In a series of posts on his Truth Social platform late Monday, the president-elect warned he would impose trade barriers on the top three US trading partners the day he takes office. China quickly responded Tuesday that “no one will win a trade war”, while Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said that tariffs were “not acceptable” and no way to address immigration and drug problems. A Canadian government source said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called Trump and had a “productive” discussion, without giving further detail. Trump’s posts signaled he intends to return immediately to the style of his first presidency, when he regularly shocked Washington and US partners around the world with major policy shifts announced at odd hours on social media. If enacted, the tariffs would spark disruption across the global economy, deepening tensions with US rival China and upending relations with the two huge US neighbors. However, the threat backs up one of Trump’s main promises in his campaign against Democrat Kamala Harris, which was to use US economic muscle as leverage on issues having little to do with trade — namely his claim that the United States is under siege by foreign crime and dangerous migrants. “On January 20th, as one of my many first Executive Orders, I will sign all necessary documents to charge Mexico and Canada a 25 percent tariff on ALL products coming into the United States,” Trump posted. “This Tariff will remain in effect until such time as Drugs, in particular Fentanyl, and all Illegal Aliens stop this Invasion of our Country!” he said. “We hereby demand that they use this power, and until such time that they do, it is time for them to pay a very big price!” In another post, Trump said he would also be slapping China with a 10 percent tariff, “above any additional Tariffs,” because the world’s second biggest economy was failing to execute fentanyl smugglers. “Representatives of China told me that they would institute their maximum penalty, that of death, for any drug dealers caught doing this but, unfortunately, they never followed through,” he said. Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for China’s embassy in the United States, told AFP that “China believes that China-US economic and trade cooperation is mutually beneficial in nature.” Mexico’s Sheinbaum fired back at Trump, saying his tariffs diplomacy was misguided. “President Trump, it is not with threats or tariffs that the migration phenomenon will be stopped, nor the consumption of drugs in the United States,” she told reporters, reading a letter she will send to Trump in which she proposes dialogue. “It is not acceptable and would cause inflation and job losses in the United States and Mexico,” she said. William Reinsch, senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said Trump’s Truth Social threats may be bluster — a strategy of “threaten, and then negotiate”. However, Trump’s first term in the White House was marked by an aggressive and protectionist trade agenda that also targeted China, Mexico and Canada, as well as Europe. While in the White House, Trump launched an all-out trade war with China, imposing significant tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars of Chinese goods. China responded with retaliatory tariffs on American products, particularly affecting US farmers. Economists say tariffs can hurt US growth and push inflation, since they are primarily paid by importers bringing the goods into the United States, who often pass those costs on to consumers. Trump has said he will put his commerce secretary designate Howard Lutnick, a China hawk, in charge of trade policy. Lutnick has expressed support for a tariff level of 60 percent on Chinese goods alongside a 10 percent tariff on all other imports. – AFPRaw milk nearly killed her son. Now avian flu is bringing more attention to its riskOAHU, Hawaii -- The long-awaited sequel "Moana 2" takes place a few years after the original, even if it's been eight years in real life! The film's leading lady, Auli'i Cravalho, is back in the role that made her a star. She was a teenager the first time around. She just turned 24 last week. "It feels like coming home, getting to play this character again. And I've missed her, truly," said Cravalho. The young star said she hears differences in her voice now that she's older and she sees differences in the animation with all the latest technology at play. However, one thing remains the same. "I feel so grateful to have a film where our heroine is a young woman of Pacific Island descent," Cravalho said. "We have such Polynesian pride from across all of these islands." In "Moana 2," our young heroine is three years older, and wiser, than when we first met her. She's tasked with leading a dangerous but important journey for her people after receiving an unexpected call from her ancestors. "This Polynesian history is a source of pride for all of us. To see it on the big screen means the world," Cravalho said. "Moana 3" is rated PG and hits theaters Wednesday, Nov. 27.

Music journalist Marcus J. Moore recently wrote a book called High & Rising about the lives and legacies of De La Soul ... But they aren't very excited about the endeavor. "This is an unauthorized book, and we are not connected to it in any way," the legendary hip-hop group stated on social media. "If you choose to support this book, that's your right. We just want it to be clear that we do not and we are exploring all of our legal options." As you can see in the replies to the Twitter post down below, a lot of fans expressed disappointment with this distance. Many of them explained how Marcus J. Moore's High & Rising is a piece of love, care, and appreciation for the indelible career of De La Soul. In addition, they brought up the lack of foundation for a group of their size and caliber to "explore legal options" around what another creative legally wrote about them. It's important to note, however, that De La has struggled with IP and corporate ownership of their work in the past. Read More: De La Soul To Stream Classic NY Show With Yasiin Bey, Common, And More Still, these past struggles when it comes to De La Soul benefitting from their craft and navigating the industry don't really apply to the kind of great work that Marcus J. Moore is so renowned for. As such, many fans feel like they are misdirecting their anger here. Regardless, there is still a lot that we don't know when it comes to this story, and hopefully the parties involved can address these problems with more clarity, earnestness, and cooperation. High & Rising is the kind of work that could bring the hip-hop group many new listeners and fans, and an homage that further canonizes them in the history books thanks to fans' ardent support of it. Nevertheless, De La Soul will always be one of the best of all time no matter what happens with High & Rising . Hopefully they can listen to fans and find common ground with Marcus J. Moore, or at least explain what's going on in a way that concretizes their worries. It's a complex problem, but not an impossible one.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina election officials won't order another recount in a close state Supreme Court race after a partial hand recount failed to suggest the trailing Republican candidate could overtake the Democratic incumbent. Following the completion of a machine recount of over 5.5 million ballots last week, Democratic Associate Justice Allison Riggs maintained a 734-vote lead over Republican Jefferson Griffin, who is currently a state Court of Appeals judge. Griffin then requested a partial hand recount in which randomly chosen ballots from 3% of the voting sites in all 100 counties were reexamined. The law says a statewide hand recount would have been required if the sample results differed enough so that the result would be reversed if the difference were extrapolated to all ballots. But the sample tabulations, which finished Tuesday, showed Riggs actually picking up more votes than Griffin. As a result, the State Board of Elections said a total recount won't be ordered. The election, however, has not been fully resolved. The five-member state board was scheduled to hear arguments Wednesday on protests previously filed by Griffin and three GOP legislative candidates who also are in very close elections. Riggs, one of two Democrats on the seven-member court, declared victory again on Tuesday, and her campaign renewed calls for Griffin to concede. Griffin didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The protests going before the state board, which question if well over 60,000 ballots should have been counted, cover three categories of voting. They include votes cast by people with voter registration records that lack driver’s licenses or partial Social Security numbers; overseas voters who have never lived in North Carolina but whose parents were deemed state residents; and military or overseas voters who did not provide copies of photo identification with their ballots. Separately Tuesday, a Court of Appeals panel unanimously declined Griffin's request to order the state board to rule on the protests before Wednesday's meeting to accelerate the process. The board could dismiss the protests or — if problems are found — order corrected ballot tallies, more recounts or new elections. Decisions by the board — with a 3-2 Democratic majority — can be appealed to state courts. Other protests filed by Griffin and the legislative candidates are being first considered by county boards. The state Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit last week seeking to block the State Board of Elections from ruling in any way to throw out the disputed ballots. The Democrats' lawyers say federal law prohibits such systematic challenges to voter eligibility for an election that has already passed. Some of the protests focus on activities that Republicans already sued over before the November election. Democratic officials and their allies held a news conference early Tuesday outside the state Supreme Court building and strongly criticized Griffin and other Republicans for initiating claims they say would disenfranchise legal voters. North Carolina Democratic Party Chair Anderson Clayton said she fears the state Supreme Court could ultimately side with Republicans and remove the challenged ballots. “We are trying to make sure that people are raising their voices, that we are filing lawsuits where we can,” Clayton said. “And we are also trusting the process of our board of elections officials to do their job and to count every single vote.” Griffin led Riggs by about 10,000 votes on election night, but that lead dwindled and flipped to Riggs as qualifying provisional and absentee ballots were added to the totals. Other types of protests filed by Griffin and the legislators are being considered by county boards. The Associated Press has not called the Supreme Court race and two of the three legislative races highlighted in the protests. In one of the two, Republican state Rep. Frank Sossamon trails Democratic challenger Bryan Cohn. A Cohn victory would mean Republicans fall one seat short of retaining their current veto-proof majority starting next month.NEW ALBANY — Up-and-coming entrepreneurs were given the chance to pitch their business plans to five judges at The Next Big Thing Pitch Competition on Wednesday. The competition was at Indiana University Southeast and was put on by NovaParke Innovation & Technology. Finalist were placed into two different competitions, a Fast Pitch where entrepreneurs have identified a problem to solve, addressed a customer need, executed market research and have a rough business plan but do not have a finalized product or service to offer. The winner got $5,000 in non-dilutive grant funding and a one-year membership to Maker13 in Jeffersonville. The other category was the Pitch Tank where entrepreneurs who have a completed business plan and have identified a specific minimum viable product or service to offer. The winner of this got $20,000 in non-dilutive grant funding and office space for the 2025 calendar year at NovaParke Innovation and Technology Campus in Georgetown. “I envision that the winner of this event will be doing a groundbreaking or ribbon-cutting at NovaParke Innovation & Technology campus and will come back to this event as a catalyst for what their idea was to create something that maybe helped the community, the human experience or just helped the quality of life,” said Don Lopp, Floyd County’s director of operations and planning. In the Pitch Tank, there were four entrepreneurs Jay Herbert with My Real Estate Ninja, Donald Ridings with Fat of the Land, Charles Waugh with Irradiance Solutions and Dwight Michael with ISO Basketball. Ridings ended up winning the pitch tank with Fat of the Land, which is a potato chip brand using animal fat rather than vegetable or seed oil to make. “We’ve all been lied to,” Ridings said. “In the 1950s a man named Ancel Keys convinced everybody that vegetable oils and seed oils are better for you than the animal fats that their mothers and grandmothers have been cooking with for centuries.” He has a background in nursing and chose chips as the snack to start with because it is a snack that everyone loves, Ridings added. So far, Ridings has sold 300 to 400 bags to test the product. He will be able to expand on the product at NovaParke next year. The Fast Pitch had Tim Heilers with Bred Bugs, Brian Vittitow with Men’s Group and Liam Newlin with Hoosier Handlebars. Vittitow won the fast pitch for his Men’s Group. The group is a nonprofit that will be a place for men of all ages, race, ethnicities and any other background to come together and share their story and even be a mentor. “The dream started for me with my passion and my path in life,” Vittitow said. “I was a young father right out of college, a husband. I didn’t have a lot of time to spend time around other men that were on the same path.” His brother-in-law, who was 10 years older, became a mentor to him, Vittitow added. Vittitow wants to bring mentorship to other young men who do not have the resource of sharing with other men about their mental and physical health, diet, how to be a father, husband, friend and brother.None
STANFORD, Calif. — Andrew Luck is returning to Stanford in hopes of turning around a struggling football program that he once helped become a national power. Athletic director Bernard Muir announced Saturday that Luck has been hired as the general manager of the Stanford football team, tasked with overseeing all aspects of the program that just finished a 3-9 season under coach Troy Taylor. “I am a product of this university, of Nerd Nation; I love this place,” Luck said. “I believe deeply in Stanford’s unique approach to athletics and academics and the opportunity to help drive our program back to the top. Coach Taylor has the team pointed in the right direction, and I cannot wait to work with him, the staff, and the best, brightest, and toughest football players in the world.” Luck has kept a low profile since his surprise retirement from the NFL at age 29 when he announced in August 2019 that he was leaving the Indianapolis Colts and pro football. Cardinal alum Andrew Luck, left, watches a Feb. 2 game between Stanford and Southern California on Feb. 2 in Stanford, Calif. In his new role, Luck will work with Taylor on recruiting and roster management, and with athletic department and university leadership on fundraising, alumni relations, sponsorships, student-athlete support and stadium experience. “Andrew’s credentials as a student-athlete speak for themselves, and in addition to his legacy of excellence, he also brings a deep understanding of the college football landscape and community, and an unparalleled passion for Stanford football,” Muir said. “I could not think of a person better qualified to guide our football program through a continuously evolving landscape, and I am thrilled that Andrew has agreed to join our team. This change represents a very different way of operating our program and competing in an evolving college football landscape.” Luck was one of the players who helped elevate Stanford into a West Coast powerhouse for several years. He helped end a seven-year bowl drought in his first season as starting quarterback in 2009 under coach Jim Harbaugh and led the Cardinal to back-to-back BCS bowl berths his final two seasons, when he was the Heisman Trophy runner-up both seasons. Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck throws a pass during the first quarter of a Nov. 27, 2010 game against Oregon State in Stanford, Calif. That was part of a seven-year stretch in which Stanford posted the fourth-best record in the nation at 76-18 and qualified for five BCS bowl berths under Harbaugh and David Shaw. But the Cardinal have struggled for success in recent years and haven't won more than four games in a season since 2018. Stanford just finished its fourth straight 3-9 campaign in Taylor's second season since replacing Shaw. The Cardinal are the only power conference team to lose at least nine games in each of the past four seasons. Luck graduated from Stanford with a bachelor’s degree in architectural design and returned after retiring from the NFL to get his master’s degree in education in 2023. He was picked No. 1 overall by Indianapolis in the 2012 draft and made four Pro Bowls and was AP Comeback Player of the Year in 2018 in his brief but successful NFL career. - Seasons coached: 23 - Years active: 1969-91 - Record: 193-148-1 - Winning percentage: .566 - Championships: 4 Chuck Noll's Pittsburgh Steelers were synonymous with success in the 1970s. Behind his defense, known as the Steel Curtain, and offensive stars, including Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, and Lynn Swann, Noll led the squad to four Super Bowl victories from 1974 to 1979. Noll's Steelers remain the lone team to win four Super Bowls in six years, though Andy Reid and Kansas City could equal that mark if they win the Lombardi Trophy this season. Noll was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993, two years after retiring. His legacy of coaching success has carried on in Pittsburgh—the club has had only two coaches (Bill Cowher and Mike Tomlin) since Noll retired. - Seasons coached: 25 - Years active: 1946-62, '68-75 - Record: 213-104-9 - Winning percentage: .672 - Championships: 7 The only coach on this list to pilot a college team, Paul Brown, reached the pro ranks after a three-year stint at Ohio State and two years with the Navy during World War II. He guided the Cleveland Browns—named after Brown, their first coach—to four straight titles in the fledgling All-America Football Conference. After the league folded, the ballclub moved to the NFL in 1950, and Cleveland continued its winning ways, with Brown leading the team to championships in '50, '54, and '55. He was fired in 1963 but returned in 1968 as the co-founder and coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. His other notable accomplishments include helping to invent the face mask and breaking pro football's color barrier . - Seasons coached: 33 - Years active: 1921-53 - Record: 226-132-22 - Winning percentage: .631 - Championships: 6 An early stalwart of the NFL, Curly Lambeau spent 29 years helming the Green Bay Packers before wrapping up his coaching career with two-year stints with the Chicago Cardinals and Washington. His Packers won titles across three decades, including the league's first three-peat from 1929-31. Notably, he experienced only one losing season during his first 27 years with Green Bay, cementing his legacy of consistent success. Born in Green Bay, Lambeau co-founded the Packers and played halfback on the team from 1919-29. He was elected to the Hall of Fame as a coach and owner in 1963, two years before his death.

The Cowboys were especially dominant in the 1970s when they made five Super Bowls and won the big game twice. Landry was known for coaching strong all-around squads and a unit that earned the nickname the "Doomsday Defense." Between 1966 and 1985, Landry and his Cowboys enjoyed 20 straight seasons with a winning record.

After reaching the Super Bowl once in 14 years with the Eagles, Reid ratcheted things up with K.C., winning three titles since 2019. As back-to-back defending champions, Reid and Co. are looking this season to become the first franchise to three-peat in the Super Bowl era and the third to do so in NFL history after the Packers of 1929-31 and '65-67.

With the Pats, Belichick combined with quarterback Tom Brady to win six Super Bowls in 18 years. Belichick and New England split after last season when the Patriots went 4-13—the worst record of Belichick's career. His name has swirled around potential coaching openings , but nothing has come of it.

With the Fins, Shula won back-to-back Super Bowls in 1972 and 1973, a run that included a 17-0 season—the only perfect campaign in NFL history. He also coached quarterback great Dan Marino in the 1980s and '90s, but the pair made it to a Super Bowl just once. Shula was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1997. Story editing by Mike Taylor.

He had won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and 298 regular-season games, plus 31 playoff games, across his career. Then the 2023 season happened. Belichick's Patriots finished 4-13, the franchise's worst record since 1992. At the end of the year, Belichick and New England owner Robert Kraft agreed to part ways. And now, during the 2024 season, Belichick is on the sideline. He's 26 wins from the #1 spot, a mark he'd reach in little more than two seasons if he maintained his .647 career winning percentage. Will he ascend the summit? It's hard to tell. Belichick would be 73 if he graced the sidelines next season—meaning he'd need to coach until at least 75 to break the all-time mark. Only one other NFL coach has ever helmed a team at age 73: Romeo Crennel in 2020 for the Houston Texans. With Belichick's pursuit of history stalled, it's worth glancing at the legends who have reached the pinnacle of coaching success. Who else stands among the 10 winningest coaches in NFL history?

Still, he racked up nearly 200 wins across his 23-year career, including a stint in charge of the New York Giants, with whom he won Coach of the Year in 1993. In all his tenures, he quickly built contenders—the three clubs he coached were a combined 17-31 the year before Reeves joined and 28-20 in his first year.

Notably, he was named Coach of the Year after turning around his 4-12 Chargers team to a 12-4 record in 2004. His teams, however, struggled during the playoffs.
