Bago proposes N1.2tr 2025 budgetIn conclusion, Manchester United's decline in form this season is stark when compared to their performance in the previous campaign. The change in manager has failed to produce the desired results on the pitch, and the team's struggles have worsened significantly. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United can arrest their slide and rediscover their winning ways, but one thing is clear - urgent action is needed to prevent further deterioration of the club's status in the Premier League.

PHOTO: GREGOR RICHARDSON For the past 38 years, ADInstruments has been creating high-quality, easy-to-use data acquisition software and equipment in Dunedin. Ben Andrews puts his science cap on to chat with chief executive Alex Black and co-founder Michael Macknight about the intricacies of the business. Michael Macknight was born just at the right time for the late ’80s transition from analog to computer based-instrumentation — or at least that is what his mother says. In 1986, he and father Tony founded ADInstruments, noting a vacuum in the industry that needed filled. That vacuum was the digitisation of data from analog laboratory equipment, getting rid of the need for reams of printouts. Mr Macknight created the first devices in his father’s laboratory; his father was a good target user for the prototypes due to his "enthusiasm" and "non-technical" nature, he said. "If I made something that he could use, then it was a good indication that other non-computery academics could use the equipment." People needed products that were flexible. This was especially the case for academics. "There wasn’t a lot of products around at that stage." The first people to adopt the product were the "tinkerers". "The next group that comes along; they don’t want to know how it works, they just want to use it as a tool." It took people time to adopt the technology, as it would mean moving from physical to digital, something that was foreign at the time. "The existing methods of analysing data were so cumbersome, you know, measuring things on paper and things, the benefits of getting stuff on to a computer were pretty apparent pretty quickly." People would often ask if the data would fall off the screen in the company’s early days. He showed people that they could scroll backwards, to which they would respond with amazement, he said. Expectations had changed since then. "Still the important thing is, if you can enable someone to do something that they thought was going to be too complicated for them to do [and] you can show that that’s not too difficult, then there’s value in that." What a PowerLab looks like. PHOTO: SUPPLIED They knew what they were talking about when it came to the products. Covid-19 had been a challenging time for the business, as it was for many others. Chief executive Alex Black said revenue dropped overnight because of the pandemic. "One of the challenges for us was that when universities closed, we couldn’t ship them any of the hardware, any of the physical goods because there was nobody to receive it," Mr Black said. However, it was not all bad news. The company was able to grow the software side of the business "significantly" during the time. They had two software products; one for research and another for scientific education. PowerLabs and many of its other products are used globally, and in the world’s top 100 universities. It employed 180 people, with two-thirds of those based internationally in China, Australia, India, Brazil, the United States and Germany. ben.andrews@odt.co.nz
Aston Villa had a stoppage-time goal disallowed as they drew 0-0 with Juventus in the Champions League. Morgan Rogers looked to have given Unai Emery’s side another famous win when he slammed a loose ball home at the death, but referee Jesus Gil Manzano ruled Diego Carlos to have fouled Juve goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the goal was chalked off. It was a disappointment for Villa, who remain unbeaten at home in their debut Champions League campaign and are still in contention to qualify automatically for the last 16. A very controversial finish at Villa Park 😲 Morgan Rogers' late goal is ruled out for a foul on Juventus goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio and the match ends 0-0 ❌ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/MyYL5Vdy3r — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Emiliano Martinez had earlier displayed why he was named the best goalkeeper in the world as his wonder save kept his side level in the second half. The Argentina international paraded his two Yashin Trophies on the pitch before kick-off at Villa Park and then showed why he won back-to-back FIFA awards when he denied Francisco Conceicao. Before Rogers’ moment of drama in the fourth minute of added time, the closest Villa came to scoring was in the first half when Lucas Digne’s free-kick hit the crossbar. But a draw was a fair result which leaves Villa out of the top eight on goal difference and Juventus down in 19th. Before the game Emery called Juventus one of the “best teams in the world, historically and now”, but this was an Italian side down to the bare bones. Only 14 outfield players made the trip from Turin, with striker Dusan Vlahovic among those who stayed behind. The opening 30 minutes were forgettable before the game opened up. Ollie Watkins, still chasing his first Champions League goal, had Villa’s first presentable chance as he lashed an effort straight at Di Gregorio. Matty Cash then had a vicious effort from the resulting corner which was blocked by Federico Gatti and started a counter-attack which ended in Juventus striker Timothy Weah. Villa came closest to breaking the deadlock at the end of the first half when Digne’s 20-yard free-kick clipped the top of the crossbar and went over. Martinez then produced his brilliant save just after the hour. A corner made its way through to the far post where Conceicao was primed to head in at the far post, but Martinez sprawled himself across goal to scoop the ball away. How has he kept that one out?! 🤯 Emi Martinez with an INCREDIBLE save to keep it goalless at Villa Park ⛔️ 📺 @tntsports & @discoveryplusUK pic.twitter.com/OkcWHB7YIk — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) November 27, 2024 Replays showed most of the ball went over the line, but the Argentinian got there with millimetres to spare. At the other end another fine goal-line block denied John McGinn as Manuel Locatelli got his foot in the way with Di Gregorio beaten. The game looked to be petering out until a last-gasp free-kick saw Rogers slam home, but whistle-happy official Gil Manzano halted the celebrations by ruling the goal out.Salman Khan visits Jamnagar mall with Anant Ambani, Shah Rukh arrives in the city
