US President-elect Donald J. Trump chose Peter Lamelas for the position of Ambassador in Buenos Aires during his administration to be inaugurated on Jan. 20, 2025. The Cuban-born physician has already met President Javier Milei. Ambassador of the United States in Argentina. Peter is an incredible physician, philanthropist, and businessman, best known for founding the largest urgent care company in Florida, Trump posted on X. As a child, Peter and his family fled communist Cuba and immigrated legally to the United States, starting from scratch and achieving the American dream, he added. I previously appointed him to serve on the Justice Department's Medal of Valor Review Board, which honors the courage of our nation's incredible first responders. He has been a member of the Florida Board of Medicine and a city commissioner in Manalapan, Florida. Congratulations Peter!, the Republican leader also pointed out. Mr. President, thank you for this incredible honor. The world sees it clearly: America is back because Donald J. Trump is back. Under his leadership, the U.S.-Argentina relationship will reach unprecedented greatness. MAGA, Lamelas replied on the same social platform. Lamelas met Milei during the South American leader's trip to Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. The nominee, who still needs the Senate's consent, was full of praise for Milei days ago on his @pldocmd account: As a Cuban refugee who escaped communism, I have seen first-hand the devastation of socialism. It's not just inefficient; it's cruel and deceitful. Leaders like Trump and Milei, with their remorseless vision, are rejecting the failed policies of the past and building a new era of simplified government and growth - for Argentina, America, and freedom-loving democracies around the world. Regarding Milei, Lamelas described him as a leader who has the mission to free his country from decades of socialism and mismanagement. Like President Trump, Milei understands that prosperity starts with a smaller and more efficient government. Lamelas is the founder and former CEO of MD Now Urgent Care, one of Florida's largest urgent care networks, which grew from 6 clinics to 42 under his leadership, becoming a model of entrepreneurial success in the healthcare industry. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Urgent Care Association of America and was a member of the Florida Board of Medicine, appointed by former Governor Jeb Bush. In addition, he played an active role in the community and has worked with several non-profit organizations statewide. The future diplomat earned his medical degree from East Central University and completed an MBA at Nova Southeastern University. His profile includes investment advisory through his association with Legacy Ventures, demonstrating an ability to operate in both the business and public policy arenas. Alongside Lamelas, Trump announced former Florida detective Daniel Newlin, as his nominee for Ambassador to Colombia. With a 28-year career fighting drug and human trafficking, Newlin represents a powerful advocate for US interests in a key country for US foreign policy, Trump argued. Trump also chose businessman Leandro Rizzuto as Washington's representative to the Organization of American States (OAS)., son of the legendary , has been under the spotlight since his arrival to the , facing the pressure of being the heir to the "King" on one of the most iconic teams. , Bronny proved that he has more up his sleeve than just on-court skills. , a mentalist selected Bronny to participate in a trick that left everyone in attendance speechless.

FEARS bubble to the surface as Bucks Fizz could run out this Christmas due to a "severe juice shortage." The festive favourite might face production issues as juice factory workers in Cardiff strike over pay. 1 Bucks Fizz might run out this year due to an juice-worker strike Cardiff Credit: Alamy Nearly 200 workers at Newlat are set take industrial action on 17 and 24 December, which could have knock-on-effects for juice-lovers. The strikes could lead to a nationwide shortage of orange juice, which is a key component of the Christmas cocktail Bucks Fizz. Members of unite, the factory's union, are looking to hold on to pay offers which were axed by new owners Newlat. The original salary agreement were offered by the previous owner Mitsubishi.

Newlat suggested a three per cent pay rise but employees are demanding they are paid what they were promised.

Wellnex reports strongest November on record with sales of $3.16 million as it looks towards dual listing on LSE in January 2025 Company growing its vast range of brands from medicinal cannabis to pain relief and vitamins Wellnex looks to expand offering globally and is in talks with a major distributor for UK market Special Report: As Wellnex Life targets a dual listing on the London Stock Exchange (LSE) early in the new year, the company has reported its strongest November on record with sales of $3.16 million. Health and wellness company Wellnex Life (ASX:WNX) says 2024 has been a transformational year for the company as it looks towards listing on the LSE in early January. The company reported sales in November increased to $3.16 million - up 321% on pcp - with growth coming across the whole business. Wellnex at a glance Wellnex has been steadily moving to a position of strength, having secured ranging and distribution agreements with major Australian retailers including Chemist Warehouse, Woolworths, Coles and CH2. The company owns a range of pharmaceutical, vitamin and wellness brands including: Nighty Night Wakey Wakey The Iron Company Bright Liquigesic Pharmacy Own Pain Away “We’ve spent a lot of time and money launching new brands like Wakey Wakey and Nighty Night,” managing director Zack Bozinovski said. “New brands don’t become $20 million brands overnight and we need to keep investing to create awareness and continue sales momentum.” Expansion into medicinal cannabis Wellnex partnered with Chemist Warehouse to launch the medicinal cannabis range Wellnex Life in August, catering for the growing TGA special access scheme (SAS). Bozinovski said Chemist Warehouse’s Instant Consult platform launched in October with more than 100 scripts for medicinal cannabis in the last couple of weeks of that month. “The good news is more authorised doctors are going to be recruited on the Instant Consult platform, which means more patient consultations and eventually more cannabis prescriptions,” he said. Wellnex’s newly appointed non-executive chair George Tambassis – who served as a director on the Pharmacy Guild of Australia for 15 years including seven years as national president – said medicinal cannabis presented a major growth opportunity. “Medicinal cannabis is a huge area in Australia under the SAS with specific GPs or doctors qualified to prescribe this medicine,” he said. “We’re going to expand with other prescribers as well as it’s a huge growth market.” Well-known and new brands Wellnex purchased the well-established Pain Away in 2023 , which it describes as the largest Australian-owned topical pain relief brand. “Brands like Pain Away are well-known, trusted brands and there is a lot of upside,” Bozinovski said. The company’s MD added that while there were learnings and hurdles to overcome with the Pain Away acquisition, Wellnex was now positioned to increase its distribution and strengthen its revenue. “We’ve got a really good grasp now of the business. “It is a mature brand with 25 years in the marketplace and the team are working very diligently to continue to expand its reach. “The product continues to sell out to customers and that is the true barometer.” Haleon manufacturing strengthens Wellnex also has a contract manufacturing product agreement with Haleon, which owns brands including Panadol, Sensodyne, Voltaren, Polident, Centrum, Otrivin and Advil. Back in March 2022, the company inked a supply agreement for its TGA-registered soft gel liquid paracetamol analgesic to Haleon (then GSK Consumer Healthcare) for it to be retailed in Australia and New Zealand under Panadol. The deal was extended and in August Wellnex announced it had received its first purchase order from Haleon for its soft gel liquid paracetamol analgesics for the UK. “We’re working through additional products and opportunities in and additional countries to launch our soft gel range of products,” Bozinovski said. Listing in UK for growth Wellnex has also set its sights on global expansion with plans for a dual listing on the LSE in early January to attract further institutional and retail investment. “We’re very confident about the UK listing moving forward, which would support a strong balance sheet to support our brand investment,” Tambassis said. Ruari McGirr, Director at Orana Capital – the broker leading the charge for their dual listing – has touted Wellnex as a “mini blue-chip”. “Often smaller cap companies generally have a plan and great aspiration for the future but limited track record or existing market position. What we see is the complete opposite –established partnerships with blue-chips, an array of well regarded products, and a track record of consistent sales growth over a number of years”. The company is also in talks with a major distributor for the UK market. “We know the UK market well, and it should be a good opportunity for the company,” Bozinovski said.

Oklahoma State 2025 softball schedule: When does Texas visit, Bedlam information and moreV Stockholders with Large Losses Should Contact Shareholder Rights Law Firm Robbins LLP for Information About the Visa Inc. Class ActionNicaragua's President Daniel Ortega and his wife are set to assume absolute power after loyalist lawmakers Friday approved a constitutional amendment elevating her to the position of "co-president" and boosting the pair's joint control over the state. Under sanctions for human rights abuses, Ortega himself had proposed the change, which also increases the Central American country's presidential term from five to six years. Nicaragua's National Assembly is under control of Ortega's ruling FSLN party, and parliament chief Gustavo Porras said Friday the measure was approved "unanimously." It is all but guaranteed to pass a second reading in January. Ortega, 79, has engaged in increasingly authoritarian practices, tightening control of all sectors of the state with the aid of his powerful wife, 73-year-old Vice President Rosario Murillo in what critics describe as a nepotistic dictatorship. The ex-guerrilla had first served as president from 1985 to 1990, returning to power in 2007. Nicaragua has jailed hundreds of opponents, real and perceived, since then. Ortega's government has targeted critics, shutting down more than 5,000 NGOs since 2018 mass protests in which the United Nations estimates more than 300 people died. Thousands of Nicaraguans have fled into exile, and the regime is under US and EU sanctions. Most independent and opposition media now operate from abroad. The constitutional amendment stipulates that "traitors to the homeland" can be stripped of their citizenship, as the Ortega government has already done with hundreds of politicians, journalists, intellectuals and activists, among others perceived as critical. Ortega and Murillo accuse the Church, journalists and NGOs of having supported an attempted coup d'etat, as they describe the 2018 protests. The change also allows for stricter control over the media and the Church, so they are not subject to "foreign interests." And it gives the co-presidents the power to coordinate all "legislative, judicial, electoral, control and supervisory bodies, regional and municipal" -- formerly independent under the constitution. Manuel Orozco, a Nicaraguan analyst for the Inter-American Dialogue, told AFP the reform "guarantees the presidential succession" of Murillo and the pair's son, Laureano Ortega. The Geneva-based UN human rights office (OHCHR) in its annual report on Nicaragua warned in September of a "serious" deterioration in human rights under Ortega. The report cited violations such as arbitrary arrests of opponents, torture, ill-treatment in detention, increased violence against Indigenous people and attacks on religious freedom. The revised constitution will define Nicaragua as a "revolutionary" and socialist state and include the red-and-black flag of the FSLN -- a guerrilla group-turned political party that overthrew a US-backed dictator in 1979 -- among its national symbols. Constitutional law expert Azahalea Solis said this change excludes other political ideologies, while Salvador Marenco, a human rights lawyer exiled in Costa Rica, said it will end political pluralism and the doctrine of separation of powers. "Everything in the reform is what has actually been happening in Nicaragua: a de facto dictatorship," Dora Maria Tellez, a former comrade in arms of Ortega turned critic, told AFP from exile in the United States. When it was proposed by Ortega earlier this week, Organization of American States secretary general Luis Almagro described the amendment as "an aberrant form of institutionalizing the marital dictatorship." He also labeled the initiative an "aggression against the democratic rule of law." mis-mlr/dw
NEW YORK , Dec. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of ordinary shares of ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ: ASML) between January 24, 2024 and October 15, 2024 , both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important January 13, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. So what: If you purchased ASML Holding N.V. ordinary shares during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. What to do next: To join the ASML Holding N.V. class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31159 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 13 , 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. Why Rosen Law: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, during the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the issues being faced by suppliers, like ASML, in the semiconductor industry were much more severe than defendants had indicated to investors; (2) the pace of recovery of sales in the semiconductor industry was much slower than defendants had publicly acknowledged; (3) defendants had created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to customer demand and anticipated growth, while also downplaying risk from macroeconomic and industry fluctuations, as well as stronger regulations restricting the export of semiconductor technology, including the products that ASML sells; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about ASML's business, operations, and prospects lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the ASML Holding N.V. class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=31159 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
