Results from a new poll may explain why CNN, MSNBC, and other broadcast news channels are experiencing such a sharp drop in viewership since the election: Most adults are fatigued by political news. According to a NORC poll , 65% of people feel the need to limit their consumption of news surrounding government and politics in the wake of the election. The poll found that 72% of Democrats and 59% of Republicans report feeling the need to avoid political news, in addition to 63% of independents. NORC surveyed adults on several other topics, such as the economy, foreign affairs, and climate change. The results show that the only other issues causing a majority of respondents to limit their news consumption are overseas conflicts. Fifty-one percent of respondents feel the need to avoid news about foreign conflicts overall, including 54% of Democrats, 52% of independents, and 47% of Republicans. The poll results coincide with recent lackluster ratings for left-leaning broadcast outlets. CNN , for example, has seen a 45% drop in prime-time viewership and 33% overall since the election. MSNBC is down 46% overall. CNN finished 2024 with the network's smallest viewership in history, and its 2024 election night coverage had 44% fewer viewers than its 2020 coverage. Fox News, on the other hand, has seen its ratings surge. After the election, the network boasted a record 70% share of the total cable news audience. The poll also looked at how adults respond to businesses, athletes, and celebrities making political statements. The plurality of respondents of each political affiliation, and overall, were supportive of small businesses making such statements but opposed large corporations engaging in such behavior. Democrats support public political statements by businesses, athletes, and celebrities significantly more than Republicans and independents do. They are the only group whose plurality supports such statements from large corporations, athletes, and celebrities. CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER While Republicans and independents reported nearly identical rates of support for these public statements, Republicans oppose such statements at a higher rate than independents. The plurality of independents are neutral on the matter. The NORC poll was conducted from Dec. 5 to Dec. 9, surveying 1,251 adults across the nation from a sample that included 44% Democrats and 37% Republicans.AP Sports SummaryBrief at 12:46 p.m. EST
BEIJING, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- China has unveiled two newly revised national standards aimed at improving the quality of services provided by maternity matrons and nannies, in a bid to support childbirth amid shifting demographics. The standards, which will take effect on March 1, 2025, will better regulate domestic maternal and baby nursing services, and home-based care services for children from birth to three years old, according to the Ministry of Commerce. Maternity matrons, known as "yuesao" in Chinese, provide postpartum care to mothers and newborns during the first month or longer after childbirth. Nannies who take care of young children are known as "yu'ersao" in Chinese. Both groups are being increasingly sought after by Chinese parents who want better quality of life. The new standard for maternity matrons introduces or specifies the requirements for the training, procedures and quality of such services, better meeting consumers' growing demand for more professional, secure and individualized services, and providing the basis for effective oversight, said Zhang Boyu, an expert on domestic service standards who participated in drafting the standard. The standard for nanny services contains recommendations for taking care of children's emotional and psychological needs, apart from their basic life needs, and offers guidelines for early education, according to experts taking part in formulating the standard. This move comes as part of China's effort to enhance childbirth support and address the challenges of a rapidly aging population. A directive from the State Council in October outlined 13 targeted measures to enhance childbirth support services, expand child care systems, strengthen support in education, housing and employment, and foster a birth-friendly social atmosphere. The country has gradually relaxed its family planning policies over the past decade, phasing out the decades-long one-child policy. In 2021, it announced support for couples who wish to have a third child. Local governments across China have since put in place a series of stimulus measures for childbirth, including subsidies, expanded insurance coverage, extended maternity leave, and more public child care facilities.World’s oldest surviving market running for 1,000 YEARS holds its final Christmas meat auction before it CLOSES
Britain should move thousands of inmates into low-security open prisons to tackle the overcrowding crisis and reduce reoffending, a senior government adviser has said. David Gauke, the Tory former justice secretary, urged ministers to copy Spain, where a much greater proportion of convicted criminals are free to work and study outside prison walls during the day. In an interview with The Times, he said the policy saved money and meant that inmates were better prepared for release and therefore less likely to reoffend. Gauke, who was justice secretary under Theresa May, is leading a review of sentencing policy for the Labour government, which will influence changes to legislation by the end of next year. He said: “We don’t make as much use of open prisonsNone

As the rising star of cell therapy biotechs, Iovance Biotherapeutics ( IOVA 3.76% ) is a hot stock that's capturing a lot of attention, and for good reason. Iovance's one-of-a-kind medicine is already selling like hotcakes, and there's reason to believe that plenty more growth is on the way. Let's take a look at why this stock is worth purchasing today and never looking back. Today, Iovance has a trio of bullish drivers are the legs of the stock's investment thesis. A rapidly growing market First, Iovance's first cell therapy to be approved for sale, Amtagvi, is quickly finding its home in the market. This year, management estimates that sales of the therapy will bring in at least $160 million in revenue, with 2025's sum totaling at least $450 million. So investors who buy the stock soon will be, in theory, exposed to a tripling of the top line in the near term, which is bullish. In practice, the biotech is taking the actions needed to deliver on that ambitious goal for next year. Amtagvi is intended to treat patients who have advanced melanoma and who have already been treated with a common immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab. Per management, its total addressable market is thus roughly between 20,000 and 30,000 patients annually. Serving those patients will require expanding the company's network of authorized treatment centers (ATCs). It's targeting a total of 70 ATCs in the U.S. before the end of the year, and progress is on track. Expanding manufacturing capability Another major initiative is expanding the company's manufacturing capacity for Amtagvi. Its current plans call for the expansion of one of its current facilities so it can generate doses for around 5,000 patients annually within the next few years, but it's also building up a network of contract manufacturers such that it can eventually treat an additional 15,000 patients per year. If those efforts are successful, it'll support Iovance's margins by controlling its cost of goods sold (COGS) . It might also be feasible for it to license out its facilities to produce cell therapies for other biopharma businesses, if it demonstrates exceptional competency in cell manufacturing. So the odds that Iovance will make good on its revenue estimates are decidedly favorable, and there's a clear runway for organic growth to continue after meeting them. A possible expansion of indications Finally, with a bit more research and development (R&D) work in the form of clinical trials testing Amtagvi in different oncology contexts, and in combination with pembrolizumab instead of only after a course of treatment, management thinks that it could one day treat as many as 70,000 patients with advanced melanoma globally. That'd expand its total addressable market by more than double, and likely require more manufacturing investments. Still, this is another bullish catalyst that is hard to ignore. The most important clinical trial is a study that's in phase 3 right now, investigating whether Amtagvi can be administered alongside pembrolizumab as a first line treatment. Being a first line treatment would lead to faster adoption of the therapy, rewarding shareholders in the process. The long haul could be even better Next year, Iovance will sync with regulators in Australia and Switzerland to see if they're willing to approve Amtagvi. It should also hear back from regulators in Canada, the U.K., and the E.U. in the same period, making for three potential catalysts and more revenue down the line. While it's true that there will be some lingering long-term execution risks relating to its cell manufacturing platform, the unique nature of its therapy means that it will likely retain the ability to draw on additional capital by taking out loans or issuing more shares of its stock. It'll probably need to do that before it becomes profitable at some point in the next few years. Nonetheless, as more and more patients globally gain access to Amtagvi, this company will have a lot of room to continue growing. Given Iovance's strong start to the therapy's commercialization, it's worth buying this stock.
SAND SPRINGS, Okla. , Dec. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Webco Industries, Inc. (OTC: WEBC) today reported results for our first quarter of fiscal year 2025, which ended October 31, 2024 . For our first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we had a net loss of $0.1 million , or a loss of $0.13 per diluted share, while in our first quarter of fiscal year 2024, we had net income of $5.1 million , or $6.25 per diluted share. Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 were $141.4 million , a 10.4 percent decrease from the $157.8 million of sales in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Dana S. Weber , Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair, stated, "The domestic manufacturing economy has been worsening over the past year. Further, we have certain markets that are being adversely impacted by foreign imports. We continue to focus on positioning Webco for various economic environments and opportunities by maintaining a strong balance sheet and good liquidity and making compelling investments in our business. Our total cash, short-term investments and available credit on our revolver were $89.0 million at October 31, 2024 , which we believe to be a competitive advantage." In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, we had income from operations of $1.1 million after depreciation of $4.7 million . The first fiscal quarter of the prior year generated income from operations of $8.0 million after depreciation of $3.7 million . Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 was $13.6 million , or 9.7 percent of net sales, compared to $21.6 million , or 13.7 percent of net sales, for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $12.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 and $13.6 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2024. SG&A expenses in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 reflect a decrease in costs related to lower profitability, such as company-wide incentive compensation and variable pay programs, offset by inflation we have experienced in wages and other expenses. Interest expense was $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025 and $1.3 million in the same quarter of fiscal year 2024. Average construction-based investments decreased in fiscal year 2025 and, as a result, capitalized interest decreased $0.2 million when compared to the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Capitalized interest decreases net interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. Notwithstanding capitalized interest, the impact of increased interest rates was more than offset by lower average debt balances. Capital expenditures incurred amounted to $5.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, down from $10.1 in the first quarter of fiscal year 2024. Included in our capital spending for the first quarter of fiscal year 2024 was construction of our F. William Weber Leadership Campus, which houses our Tech Center and corporate headquarters. The Tech Center, which is the tip of the spear that leads Webco's trusted and technical brand throughout our industry, was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. As of October 31, 2024 , we had $18.6 million in cash and short-term investments, in addition to $70.4 million of available borrowing under our $220 million senior revolving credit facility. Availability on the revolver, which had $44.0 million drawn at October 31, 2024 , was subject to advance rates on eligible accounts receivable and inventories. Our term loan and revolver mature in September 2027. Accounting rules require asset-based debt agreements like our revolver to be classified as a current liability, despite its fiscal year 2028 maturity. Webco's stock repurchase program authorizes the purchase of our outstanding common stock in private or open market transactions. In September 2023 , the Company's Board of Directors refreshed the repurchase program with a new limit of up to $40 million and extended the program's expiration until July 31 , 2026. We purchased 2,850 shares of our stock during the first quarter of fiscal year 2025. Including the current fiscal year, Webco has purchased approximately 158,000 shares over the course of the last five fiscal years. The repurchase plan may be extended, suspended or discontinued at any time, without notice, at the Board's discretion. Webco's mission is to continuously build on our strengths as we create a vibrant company for the ages. We leverage our core values of trust and teamwork, continuously building strength, agility and innovation. We focus on practices that support our brand such that we are 100% engaged every day to build a forever kind of company for our Trusted Teammates, customers, business partners, investors and community.

The two-time Big Brother winner was declared legally blind 16 years ago when she lost 90 per cent of her central vision. Five years earlier, after winning her first Big Brother crown in 2003, she was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a rare degenerative eye disease. Now, her sight is like “looking through a straw”. “It won’t kill me but I am going to lose the whole lot so when that day comes, I don’t know what I am going to do,” Bird said in a revealing interview on the latest episode of the Mental As Anyone podcast. “That day is going to come and it is really starting to scare me because I feel like my eyes are really getting worse. That’s why I get out and make the most of life while I can. I’ve just got to keep going, gotta get on with it, gotta keep moving. There’s worse people off than me. That’s what I always say to myself.” Mother of two Bird, 50, has battled various health issues for much of her life. She also suffers from stage-two Usher syndrome, a genetic condition that causes deafness and hearing loss. Despite her struggles, she is active on social media and regular shares videos of her adventures, from dancing to cooking and life with her beloved teenage kids. Unfortunately, that has attracted some social media bullying with ridiculous suggestions she is ‘faking’ blindness. “I still cop s**t saying how I’m faking it,” she said. “It just frustrates me. I’m out there having a go and trying to do my best under the circumstances that I live with. It (vision impairment) doesn’t mean we can’t do stuff. People think we should be sitting in a bloody chair in the corner with big black glasses on and not do anything. We are quite capable of doing things. There’s a lot of education that needs to be (done) around blindness. I wish I could go to schools and educate kids ... there is just such a stigma around what blind people should look like and what they should be doing.” In the wide-ranging interview, Bird revealed she has struggled to find work due to her disability. She lives off a pension that covers her rent, and the prize money from winning both seasons of Big Brother. She joked that joining OnlyFans might be her only option to earn a living. “They make lots of money on there so why not get the old saggy t**s out,” she laughed. Do you need help?
