Gildan Activewear Inc. stock falls Monday, underperforms marketHeading into 2025 Americans are more hopeful than discouraged — and more outright hopeful than they were heading into 2024. Last year was more mixed. It does look like this very political past year is affecting that larger outlook going into next year. Among those who say they're generally hopeful about 2025, their top reason is that Donald Trump will be president. His upcoming presidency ranks even higher among things making them feel hopeful about 2025 than their outlook for their own personal relationships and finances. The hopeful group includes a lot of Republicans, underscoring the extent to which politics seems to play a role in outlook generally. And of those Americans who say they're generally discouraged about 2025 — a group that includes a lot of Democrats — their top reason is that Donald Trump will be president. That said, the new year may not see too many Americans making personal changes. Just over a third will be making New Year's resolutions, the bulk of which include — as we tend to see each year we ask — ideas around improving one's health and exercising more. For the vast majority of Americans, getting more involved in politics isn't one of them. And most will try to avoid political talk over the holidays. Economy For now, ratings of the national economy are about the same as last month, and about half of Americans say their own financial situation is good. To those who say things are bad, it's much the same story ending 2024 as it has been for years: inflation and prices are driving that sentiment. Those economic sentiments also weighed on President Biden's approval over much of his term, and his rating as he nears the end of that term remains in negative territory, about where it has hovered for a long time. There's been negative reaction to his decision to pardon his son Hunter Biden , and that tracks closely with partisanship. We've also long seen the pull of partisanship in economic evaluations, and here, people tell us about it directly. Among the (relatively few) Republicans who say the economy is good, a top answer they give for why this is the case is that Donald Trump is going to be president. For Republicans who say the economy is bad, a top answer they give about why is that Joe Biden is president. The economic lookahead on some economic aspects is net positive but also partisan. Slightly more Americans, driven by a big majority of Republicans, think Trump's policies will lower grocery prices than raise them. By two to one, more Americans think Trump's policies will lead to more U.S. technological advances than fewer. Support for tariffs, though, is sharply partisan, heavily favored by Republicans but not by most independents or Democrats. There's been a bit of an increase since November in the percentage who think tariffs would lead to higher prices. Americans also think Trump's policies are more likely to increase peace and stability in the world, more so than decrease it. Social media's reaction to killing of healthcare CEO After the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , the social media and online reaction to it has itself gotten attention. Most Americans say they have seen or heard something about the social media reactions that others have expressed online, and many have seen comments from others that appear to be positive reactions. Big majorities think it's unacceptable when there's seemingly positive reactions on social media, either about the killing or seemingly in support of the alleged killer. In explaining why those posts might be happening, though, most think it is driven by people who are angry about the health insurance system, not that those expressing such sentiments are condoning violence.

Groundbreaking Cornwall museum picks up top tourism awardRobotics company RobotLAB recently opened up a new warehouse and showroom in Las Vegas, offering up their four-foot-tall synthetic creations to the city’s casinos, resorts, and restaurants. According to the Dallas-based company, the robots can clean hotel rooms, serve up cocktails, provide security services, and give information and directions. Not only that, the ‘bots can also sing, dance, and give fist bumps. “Robots bring automation to repetitive tasks — such as serving food, cleaning, and more,” RobotLAB Las Vegas partner Ketan Vaidya tells Mashable. “Instead of employees doing low value, back-breaking work, robots can do it, so that employees can focus their attention on providing excellent service to their customers.” While some Vegas visitors may blanch at the idea of robot housekeepers and synthetic concierges, the novelty and potential trickle-down cost savings may lessen the impersonal sting — and robots in Vegas are not exactly new, as synthetic bartenders have operated in the city for years . More difficult for RobotLAB, and similar companies hoping to make moves in the service industry, is how human workers already doing said “low value” work will greet their potential robot replacements. In Las Vegas, the powerful UNITE HERE Culinary Workers Union Local 226 has been anticipating companies like RobotLAB setting up shop and demanded “innovative technology language” in their contracts with the Strip’s big resort casinos. Celebrating at RobotLAB's new Las Vegas location. “The Culinary Union negotiated a strong contract in 2018 to win innovative technology language that protects workers when the company brings in new technology and has been utilized to bargain over software, use of devices, and automation,” Bethany Khan, spokesperson and director of communications & digital strategy for UNITE HERE, tells Mashable. “In 2023, those rights were protected and expanded.” The most recent contract guarantees advanced notification when new technology is introduced that may impact jobs and an increase in service recognition pay, extended health care, and pension fund contributions for workers laid off due to technology changes, according to Khan. RobotLAB has not publicly inked a deal with a notable Strip property, but Vaidya says they are having “conversations with several casinos.” As Khan points out, all the big resorts on the Strip — like Caesars Palace, MGM Grand, and the Bellagio — are unionized, meaning RobotLAB must meet with UNITE HERE representatives for demos and conversations before automatons are taking your luggage or making your bed. For now, RobotLAB is finding success in Vegas with restaurant chains like Kura Revolving Sushi Bar and Sourdough & Co., which are utilizing the company’s delivery and serving robots. Smaller businesses may gravitate to RobotLAB's robots through their leasing options, which Vaidya says go for between $20-40 a day. As far as purchase price, Vaidya says "costs vary depending on solution" but KLAS reported the robots can cost "as much as a new car." RobotLAB Las Vegas General Manager Jacob Fisher believes the products will create human jobs along with replacing them, telling KLAS, “There’s always going to be a person needed to maintain and service the robots. So we are just going to have robot conductors.” Fisher's response is probably cold comfort to most UNITE HERE members, but the union did obtain language in their 2018 contract that ensures unionized casino-resorts provide "mandatory free re-training to use new technology for current jobs" and "access and mandatory free job training if there are new jobs that are created due to automation and technology," according to Khan.

( MENAFN - Gulf Times) The Plastic and Orthopaedic Surgery teams at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) recently performed two complex surgeries, in a Qatar first, through the Capa-Masquelet technique, to reconstruct the thigh bone and save limbs from amputation. Dr Mohammad Mounir, Consultant in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery at Hamad General Hospital, highlighted the effectiveness of the innovative technique in reconstructing long bones, including the arms, legs, and thighs. These bones often suffer significant loss or fragmentation due to trauma, advanced cancerous tumours, or severe bone infections. Employing this technique enables preserving the limbs and mitigating the risk of amputation caused by acute bone loss. The first case involved a 16-year-old patient who had previously undergone multiple reconstructive surgeries following the removal of a malignant tumour in the thigh bone. The second case was a man in his thirties who suffered severe trauma to the thigh due to a vehicular accident. After both cases were referred to the surgical and plastic teams at HGH, the decision was carefully made to utilise the Capa-Masquelet technique to reconstruct the thigh bone and prevent amputation. “This medical achievement aligns seamlessly with HMC's strategy to achieve excellence in delivering medical services and enhancing the patient experience. It is in line with Qatar's Third National Development Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030, under which HMC is committed to adopting the latest medical technologies and providing advanced healthcare that significantly improves patients' lives,” said Dr Mounir. “The Capa-Masquelet technique represents a qualitative leap in long bone reconstruction, as it combines the benefits of the Capa-Masquelet method-which uses boosting tissue to regenerate bone-and the Capanna technique, which involves bone grafting. This unique approach effectively reconstructs missing bone segments, restoring strength, stability, and functionality to damaged femurs,” Dr Mounir noted. Dr Ahmad Mounir, Consultant in Bone Surgery at HMC, explained that this technique is particularly well-suited for advanced cases of long bone loss, especially where reduced blood circulation hinders the success of traditional methods. By replacing lost bone and repairing gaps, the technique promotes bone healing while maintaining the same leg length. This allows patients to recover and regain mobility within a remarkably short period. Typically, patients begin to heal after about six weeks, with a return to normal activities within four to six months of surgery.
