panalo999 app CONCORD — Alex Brown wakes up before his family, treads downstairs, brews a pot of coffee and shapes dough into loaves on his kitchen counter. As his two children and his wife start their mornings, Brown puts the dough in the fridge to proof and gets ready for his day job as a psychologist. After work in the evenings, he heats up the oven and bakes three sets of loaves, two at a time. Brown began a small bread business called Conquered Bread this fall, channeling his passion for baking into a means of connecting with the Concord community. His business model includes selling bread subscriptions by month, with customers picking up one loaf of bread a week from the large box by the door to Brown’s house. “It has rewarded me,” said Brown, who has been making bread for years, even prior to the pandemic. “As someone who is creative, but not particularly artistic, I don’t have a lot of ways to express myself, and this has ended up being a really cool way to do that.” He’s started small, baking about 18 loaves per week, but with the installation of a new masonry oven in his kitchen, he’ll double his capacity next month and is poised to grow as word spreads. Brown describes the business, with its intentional play on the pronunciation of Concord, as a “micro-bakery home kitchen side hustle and bread share.” He recently acquired a food service license allowing for home production. “I’m making elemental bread. I’m a minimalist,” said Brown, who crafts his sourdough loaves from his own freshly milled flour and grain sourced from around New England. “I like the idea of lean doughs, which means that basically all of my bread is flour, water and salt, and then every now and then I throw in a little inclusion here and there. But usually, my bread has less than five ingredients.” Every loaf undergoes a long fermentation process, enriching the flavor. Brown’s three staple loaves are Concord Blonde, Country Porridge and Beekeeper’s Rye. He also makes bagels, focaccia, pane siciliano and a variety of other breads, such as black coffee rye, potato and roasted onion, and carrot walnut. Bread for a cause Conquered Bread is in the process of launching its Rise Up project, which donates proceeds from loaves purchased outside of the monthly shares to different area organizations. To begin the project, Brown chose Equality Health Center as the first beneficiary. “I think bringing awareness to groups of people who are vulnerable and disenfranchised and systematically put at risk, it just feels like the right thing to do,” he said. Since not every customer can commit to a month’s subscription, these Rise Up loaves will make Brown’s bread more accessible. Labeled “Baked for Social Justice,” they will be available for individual purchase. Linda Haller, who serves as medical director of Equality Health Center, said the business’s partnership with the health center unites the two with “an identity of community, connection and compassion.” “There’s a solidarity there to create something out of nothing, using flour, yeast, salt, and combining those things together to make something beautiful, and to be able to share that with people, but beyond that, financially support a community organization that is essentially doing the same thing just in health care,” she said. “We have clinicians, nurses, organizing staff coming together to create this beautiful entity that is ultimately here to serve the community and take good care of people.” She has been friends with Brown for years and recalls how he often delivered bread to friends’ doorsteps during the pandemic. “He really took it and ran with it and has created a beautiful little business,” Haller added. “The piece I really connect with and feel most attached to is the community aspect of it. It’s very personable. It’s very friendly and familiar. He also makes fantastic bread.” ‘This sense of specialness’ Another friend, city councilor Judith Kurtz, has enjoyed seeing Conquered Bread transform from an idea into a fully functioning micro-bakery. “Having fresh bread made by someone you know or know tangentially in the community creates this feeling of community care,” Kurtz said. “There’s someone in your neighborhood or your community doing this thing on however small a scale that’s contributing to your dinner table or your gathering. I feel that way about all local businesses. Really just thinking about being connected to place and having a sense of what makes our community special.” Beginning this weekend, loaves from Conquered Bread will be available for purchase at Table, a new bakery in Eagle Square. Kurtz encouraged people to support local businesses such as Brown’s and added that small-scale endeavors like Conquered Bread and Table can have a widespread impact. “It’s even more intimate because you know it’s made in his home and it’s on a small scale, so there’s this sense of specialness that will go with it,” Kurtz said. When packaging bread for customers, Brown prioritizes environmental sustainability. He wraps his loaves in bags made of recycled paper and offers customers instructions for how to best store the loaves. “It’s basically impossible to buy a loaf of bread that doesn’t come in single-use plastic, and I find that totally unacceptable,” he said. While working a full-time job and running a side business has the potential to be exhausting, Brown says the bread fits into his schedule. “I’ve tucked it all into the corners of my life that were already there,” he said. Mostly, he just enjoys the process and the way the community has grown excited about his bread shares. “I like working with my hands,” Brown added. “I work quite a lot collaboratively, and I realized that one of the things that bread does for me that I don’t get in other parts of my life is that it’s something that I can do by myself. It’s not something that I need to rely on other people for.”

OpenAI’s legal battle with Elon Musk reveals internal turmoil over avoiding AI ‘dictatorship’The NFL suspended Tennessee Titans safety Julius Wood six games on Tuesday for violating the policy on performing-enhancing substances. There are five games remaining this season for the Titans (3-9), so Wood's suspension will bleed into Week 1 of 2025. Wood, 23, went undrafted this spring and signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent. They waived him in August, and he caught on with the Titans, who claimed him off waivers. Wood appeared in nine games, almost exclusively on special teams, and has recorded two tackles. --Field Level Media

OpenAI's legal battle with Elon Musk reveals internal turmoil over avoiding AI 'dictatorship'The New Zealand Government has launched a science-based, standardized methodology for measuring farm-level greenhouse gas emissions, delivering on its Q4 commitment to restore certainty and credibility in the agriculture sector. The initiative was announced today by Agriculture Minister Todd McClay. A Simplified and Trustworthy System “Our farmers are among the most carbon-efficient food producers globally, but they need reliable tools to measure and manage emissions effectively,” said Mr. McClay. The new methodology aims to reduce complexity for farmers by replacing the more than 10 existing calculators with a consistent approach. It leverages farm-specific inputs, including: Stock counts and supplementary feed usage . Dairy production , fertilizer application , and farm region data . This methodology is designed to be accessible, low-cost , and auditable , utilizing readily available farm data while ensuring alignment across all calculators. Updates will be made regularly to integrate advancements in science and technology. Addressing Sector Demands The initiative was developed collaboratively with industry stakeholders to meet the sector's demand for transparent and reliable tools. “This is a direct response to what our farmers have been asking for,” Mr. McClay added. Farmers previously faced administrative burdens and inconsistencies due to the varying methods used by existing calculators. By unifying these tools under a single science-based framework, the Government seeks to simplify compliance while maintaining the credibility of New Zealand's agricultural sustainability. Investment in Emission-Reducing Technologies To complement this effort, the Government has allocated $400 million over four years to develop and deploy emission-reducing technologies. This funding will support innovations like methane-reducing feed additives, advanced livestock genetics, and improvements in soil management techniques. Ensuring Competitiveness and Sustainability The Government emphasized its commitment to striking a balance between environmental obligations and economic sustainability. “We are committed to working with farmers to meet emissions goals without shutting down farms or sending jobs and production overseas,” Mr. McClay said. This methodology aligns with New Zealand's ambition to remain a global leader in sustainable, high-quality food production. Farmers will now have the tools and resources necessary to measure, manage, and reduce their environmental footprint while preserving the country's reputation for carbon-efficient agriculture. Looking Ahead The rollout of the standardized methodology is expected to improve data transparency and foster collaboration across the agriculture sector. By providing a reliable foundation for emissions management, the initiative supports farmers in making informed decisions that contribute to New Zealand's environmental and economic goals. Further details about training programs and integration with existing farm management systems will be shared in the coming months.NEW YORK — President-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers formally asked a judge to throw out his hush money criminal conviction, arguing continuing the case would present unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.” In a filing made public Tuesday, Trump’s lawyers told Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan that dismissal is warranted because of the “overwhelming national mandate granted to him by the American people on November 5, 2024.” They also cited President Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son, Hunter Biden, who had been convicted of tax and gun charges. “President Biden asserted that his son was ‘selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted,’ and ‘treated differently,’” Trump’s legal team wrote. The Manhattan district attorney, they claimed, had engaged in the type of political theater “that President Biden condemned.” Prosecutors will have until Dec. 9 to respond. They have said they will fight any efforts to dismiss the case but have indicated a willingness to delay the sentencing until after Trump’s second term ends in 2029. In their filing Monday, Trump’s attorneys dismissed the idea of holding off sentencing until Trump is out of office as a “ridiculous suggestion.” Following Trump’s election victory last month, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed his sentencing, previously scheduled for late November, to allow the defense and prosecution to weigh in on the future of the case. He also delayed a decision on Trump’s prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. Trump has been fighting for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. He says they did not and denies any wrongdoing. Taking a swipe at Bragg and New York City, as Trump often did throughout the trial, the filing argues that dismissal would also benefit the public by giving him and “the numerous prosecutors assigned to this case a renewed opportunity to put an end to deteriorating conditions in the City and to protect its residents from violent crime.” Clearing Trump, the lawyers added, would also allow him to “to devote all of his energy to protecting the Nation.” The defense filing was signed by Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, who represented Trump during the trial and have since been selected by the president-elect to fill senior roles at the Justice Department. A dismissal would erase Trump’s historic conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. Trump takes office on Jan. 20. Merchan hasn’t set a timetable for a decision. Merchan could also decide to uphold the verdict and proceed to sentencing, delay the case until Trump leaves office, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump’s parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court or choose some other option. Prosecutors had cast the payout as part of a Trump-driven effort to keep voters from hearing salacious stories about him. Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels. Trump later reimbursed him, and Trump’s company logged the reimbursements as legal expenses — concealing what they really were, prosecutors alleged. Trump has pledged to appeal the verdict if the case is not dismissed. He and his lawyers said the payments to Cohen were properly categorized as legal expenses for legal work. A month after the verdict, the Supreme Court ruled that ex-presidents can’t be prosecuted for official acts — things they did in the course of running the country — and that prosecutors can’t cite those actions to bolster a case centered on purely personal, unofficial conduct. Trump’s lawyers cited the ruling to argue that the hush money jury got some improper evidence, such as Trump’s presidential financial disclosure form, testimony from some White House aides and social media posts made during his first term. Prosecutors disagreed and said the evidence in question was only “a sliver” of their case. If the verdict stands and the case proceeds to sentencing, Trump’s punishments would range from a fine to probation to up to four years in prison — but it’s unlikely he’d spend any time behind bars for a first-time conviction involving charges in the lowest tier of felonies. Because it is a state case, Trump would not be able to pardon himself once he returns to office. Presidential pardons apply only to federal crimes.Nokia Corporation: Repurchase of own shares on 10.12.2024

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Fresh off one of its best showings of the season, the Baltimore defense now has another problem to worry about. Roquan Smith missed practice again Friday because of a hamstring injury. Although the Ravens didn't officially rule him or anyone else out — they don't play until Monday night — the All-Pro linebacker's status seems dicey. “Definitely it will be a challenge if Roquan can’t go,” defensive coordinator Zach Orr said. “We’re holding out hope and everything like that. I think it’ll just be by committee. Not one person is going to replace Roquan. Roquan’s an every-down linebacker.” Although the Ravens lost 18-16 last weekend, Baltimore didn't allow a touchdown. That was an encouraging sign for a team that ranks 26th in the league in total defense. Baltimore is on the road Monday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Ravens appear to have dodged one potential nightmare. Star safety Kyle Hamilton injured an ankle against Cincinnati on Nov. 7, but he was able to play almost every defensive snap the following week against Pittsburgh. But Smith was injured in that game and didn't practice Thursday or Friday. Linebacker Malik Harrison had a season high in tackles last weekend and figures to have a significant role if Smith can't go. “We tell these guys, ‘You’re one play away to going in there — you never know, so you got to stay ready.’ Malik — he was ready,” Orr said. “I thought he went in there and did a good job, especially after the first series, he settled down. That’s what we expect from him.” It's hard to tell whether last week can be a significant turning point for Baltimore's defense. The Ravens allowed only 10 points in a dominant win over Buffalo in Week 4, then yielded 38 against Cincinnati the following game. After allowing 10 against Denver, the Ravens were picked apart by the Bengals again a few days later. So they still haven't shown they can play a good game defensively and then build on it. “I think it’s easier said than done. It’s something that we kind of got caught up saying against Buffalo and then coming up the next week and not doing," Hamilton said. "We’re aware of it now and know that we played a good game, but I think we can get a lot better, and I think that’s kind of the mindset everybody on defense has right now.” Hamilton's ability to make a difference all over the field is part of what makes him valuable, but positioning him deep is one way the Ravens can try to guard against big passing plays. Pittsburgh's Russell Wilson threw for only 205 yards against Baltimore. That's after Joe Burrow passed for 428 and four touchdowns in the Ravens' previous game. “I’ve always seen myself as a safety. A versatile one, but at the end of the day, I think I play safety,” Hamilton said. “If I’m asked to go play safety, I feel like that’s not an issue for me to play safety if I’m a safety.” NOTES: In addition to Smith, WR Rashod Bateman (knee), DT Travis Jones (ankle), S Sanoussi Kane (ankle) C Tyler Linderbaum (back) and CB Arthur Maulet (calf) missed practice Friday. WR Nelson Agholor (illness) returned to full participation after missing Thursday's practice. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLSentencing delayed for illegal bookmaker tied to Las Vegas casino

Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian is launching the company’s centennial year not in Atlanta, but at a Las Vegas tech conference — alongside Lenny Kravitz . Bastian’s third appearance at CES next month, which is billed as “the most powerful tech event in the world,” is deliberate, Tim Mapes, Delta’s chief communications officer, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “Why would an airline be at CES? That’s exactly the point,” he said. Delta is, in fact, the only airline featured at the conference. Bastian’s splashy keynote at Vegas’ Sphere makes sense for many reasons, including its early January timing, the scale of an event that drew nearly 140,000 last year, as well as the cachet of the tech world and a higher-income audience Delta has been targeting . Wall Street and investors pay attention to it too, Mapes acknowledged. But it also dovetails with Delta’s leading strategy heading into its 100th year: to showcase “humanity” and place itself alongside some of the world’s largest consumer brands and platforms. “Let’s put the ‘C’ back in CES,” Mapes said of the conference formerly known as the Consumer Electronics Show. “Our interest is not in comparing ourselves to other airlines. It’s comparing ourselves to other global consumer brands known to be world class.” Delta is indeed “trying to play in the big league and not just think of themselves as an airline,” said Ram Chellappa, a professor of information systems and operations management at Emory University who studies airlines. That league includes the likes of Amazon and Apple that have created massive platforms that touch many aspects of consumers’ lives, rather than simply selling books, computers or, in Delta’s case, airline tickets. To get there, Chellappa explains, the company wants to leverage technology and AI to customize a “holistic experience” beyond just flying you from place to place. He points to the company’s wildly lucrative American Express cards , as well as deals with the likes of Starbucks , Hertz and Lyft , which give SkyMiles members bonus perks and link rewards accounts. The goal, he says, is that Delta becomes the platform by which customers access everything else, just like Amazon is a marketplace where many shoppers access other vendors. “If they think of themselves as sort of this all-purveying entity that covers all aspects of a consumer’s movement, then they’re hoping everything happens through them.” On a Delta plane, that already looks like allowing a SkyMiles member to log into a personal dashboard on their in-flight screen and get offers for services like Walmart+ and Paramount+ via in-flight Wi-Fi. The company has pursued a strategy of increased customization over the past 15 years, allowing each traveler to choose a more specific experience and price point, like Delta Premium Select or Basic Economy. The aviation business, Mapes argues, “can be transcended by this beloved consumer brand” that people choose over competitors. “It isn’t about price solely the way it maybe was 15-20 years ago,” he added. “It’s about your relationship with Delta.” Delta’s strategy is innovative, Chellappa says, and especially surprising coming from a nearly 100-year-old brand. But with it comes a warning for regulators, just as the government has had to keep an eye on Amazon and Apple, to watch for “new and interesting dependencies” that could create, Chellappa said. Indeed, the Department of Transportation this fall announced a review of rewards programs at the country’s four largest airlines — including Delta — for “potential unfair, deceptive, or anticompetitive practices.” At the January keynote in Las Vegas, Mapes promises yet-unnamed “major special guests,” announcements and an experience “befitting of Delta marking the next 100 years of aviation.” But as the company announced Thursday, it will also feature perks for SkyMiles members in attendance, including swag, expedited entry and a special lounge. “We know Delta has the vision to continue disrupting how we travel by leaning into technology,” said Gary Shapiro, CEO of CES’ organizer, the Consumer Technology Association in a statement. “I can’t wait to see how they bring that to life at Sphere.”Immigration Minister Tony Burke and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese (Image: AAP/Mick Tsikas) Though it is unimaginable today, the border between the United States and Mexico remained relatively open until the 1960s. Migrants from Mexico travelled across it in their thousands, engaging in seasonal and cyclical work, returning to their families at the end of every season, or when the rhythms of life required it. From the 1960s onwards, a wave of protectionist sentiment propelled the introduction of laws and policies to regulate movement across the southern border. Yet research shows that the measures had little overall impact on the numbers of people making the newly illegalised journey. By that point, Mexican workers had become part of their communities in the US and seasonal migration had become a fact of life in both places. What the restrictions achieved instead was the creation of a large and ever-growing population of undocumented Mexican workers, barred from acting on their rights and easier for employers to exploit because they wielded the threat of state-enforced deportation. Then, just as now, there is no necessary correlation between the anti-migrant rhetoric of governments and overall migration numbers. That is because migration restrictions always serve dual purposes : to exclude and repel some, while ensuring the unequal inclusion of the vast majority. The same lens can be applied in Australia to Labor’s populist attempts at reducing migration intake. Take for example the much-publicised cap on international student numbers. Adjustments to planning levels have already limited the yearly student intake to 270,000. The Albanese government’s attempt to legislate that cap was intended to provide it with a firm legal basis, as well as an opportunity for political grandstanding. Voters know the benefits of migration and want cuts anyway. And they’ll get what they want Read More But in real terms, the cap simply pins student intake to the pre-pandemic high point. Commentators have noted that it also operates based on opaque calculations , which exclude students in certain sectors from the count. Perhaps more to the point, the cap operates alongside the expansion of new and existing temporary visa programs, like the PALM Scheme for workers from the Pacific, or the lamentably named MATES visa for Indian graduates. Whether restrictions on student visas will reduce temporary migration levels over the long run remains to be seen. The most immediate, tangible effect of the cap will be to enforce a state of perpetual limbo on temporary migrants already in Australia. Enforced through planning levels, the cap will mean that student visa applications are endlessly deferred rather than refused, leaving applicants in the lurch on provisional bridging visas, subject to restrictions on their ability to work. Holders of bridging visas face some of the toughest conditions at work. They are locked out of the formal economy because of their precarious status, and pushed into the care and service sectors where wage theft and unsafe conditions are industry norms. The ability of bridging visa holders to enforce their rights is also curtailed by the prevailing political environment, in which temporary migrants are blamed for any number of social and economic ills , from housing pressures to inflation. The way out of this political cul-de-sac is not by convincing voters in the abstract of the “benefits” of migration or by appealing to their benevolence. It is by convincing ordinary working people that immigration restrictions harm them by undermining the conditions of their colleagues on visas, and safeguarding their boss’ supply of exploitable, disposable labour. There are nearly 3 million temporary migrants in Australia at present, constituting nearly 10% of the working population . For most of us, temporary migrants are part of our workplaces — and part of our lives. Compassion is no substitute for a common cause. This is what we saw at the recent Woolworths picket, as 1,500 workers, including many on temporary visas, went on strike against the largest supermarket chain in the country. A strike kitchen was set up by refugees on bridging visas as a gesture of solidarity for union members who supported their hundred-day encampment in front of the Department of Home Affairs offices earlier this year. Becoming distracted by sleight-of-hand changes to migration levels or the reduction of rights for some will ultimately undermine the living conditions of us all.

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Ed Martin, a hardline, socially conservative activist and commentator, to serve as the next chief of staff at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). As CNN first reported in July, Martin has publicly advocated for a national abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest and has raised imposing criminal penalties on women and doctors involved in abortions. Martin is a former chair of the Missouri Republican Party chair and former radio host, and served as one of the leaders of the 2024 Republican National Convention’s platform committee, which shaped the party’s official stance on key issues. He is the current president of socially conservative group Phyllis Schlafly Eagles. The OMB plays a key role in shaping the president’s economic and legislative agenda by reviewing funding proposals and ensuring they align with the administration’s policy priorities. Martin’s role at OMB could have a potential impact on how federal funds are allocated for programs related to women’s health or reproductive rights. CNN first reported Martin’s comments about potentially jailing women for abortions when he was named deputy policy director for the Republican National Convention’s platform committee. Ultimately, at Trump’s request , the platform softened its language on abortion to remove support for a national ban. A Pew Research Center survey from May 2024 showed that 63% of US adults believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Martin didn’t respond to CNN’s requests for comment on the initial story or this one. During his radio show in May 2022, Martin repeatedly discussed the prospect of imprisoning women who undergo abortions, stating, “If you believe it’s a baby – I do – then you have to do something to protect the baby.” Martin has also urged anti-abortion activists to frame the debate in terms of protecting the unborn rather than adopting the framing used by abortion rights advocates about being about a women’s choice. He argued that if the discussion focuses on a woman’s right to choose, it becomes politically difficult to justify criminal penalties for women who get abortions. However, by shifting the argument to focus on the life of the baby, the possibility of punitive measures for women and doctors becomes open. “The late Phyllis Schlafly, whom I worked so closely with, used to say, ‘If you get to claim and frame the argument, you almost certainly get to win,’” Martin said. “In other words, if you take their framing, it’s a woman’s right. Are you gonna put women in jail? No. It’s about a baby. Now, what do we do? Frame the argument. Own the argument.” At the OMB, Martin will report to incoming director Russell Vought, another staunch conservative who previously served in the role during Trump’s first term. Martin and Vought also served together on the platform committee. In the days after a draft opinion striking down Roe v. Wade was leaked in May 2022, Martin first discussed on his radio show possible prison sentences for women and doctors who perform abortions. “If you ban abortion in Louisiana, is a doctor who has an abortion breaking the law? Yes. Should he be punished? Yes – I think that seems obvious. What is the punishment? Not sure yet. Could be criminal, could be a jail sentence, I suppose,” he said. Trump praised Martin in a Truth Social post announcing the selection, writing, “Ed is a winner who will help Make America Great Again!” Martin has also opposed exceptions for abortions to save the life of the mother, calling it “an absolute scientific fact that no abortion is ever performed to save the life of the mother. None, zero, zilch.” According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists , complications during pregnancy can pose life-threatening risks, sometimes requiring an abortion to preserve the mother’s life. Abortions may be necessary to save the life of the mother suffering from pregnancy complications, such as preeclampsia or an ectopic pregnancy. “The true bane of the pro-life movement is the faction of fake pro-lifers who claim to believe in the sanctity of human life but are only willing to vote that way with a list of exceptions,” Martin said on another radio show in June 2022 – days after Roe v. Wade was struck down. His hardline views contrast with Trump’s recent efforts to moderate his rhetoric on abortion, as the issue has become politically challenging for Republicans following the overturning of Roe v. Wade . Trump has advocated for exceptions in cases of rape, incest, and the health of the mother and said that the issue of abortion should largely be left to the states. Still, Martin has continued to push for absolute restrictions on abortion, rejecting exceptions of any kind, including, as he said in July 2022, the rape of a 10-year-old Ohio girl. “Don’t tell me to stop talking about abortion,” Martin said in April 2024 on his radio show. “Don’t tell me that because you don’t think it’s a winner politically, I’m supposed to stop talking about abortion.”If you have room in your portfolio for some new ASX 200 shares, then it could be worth checking out the two listed below. That's because they have recently been named as buys by analysts and tipped to have very bright futures. Here's what they are saying: ( ) The first ASX 200 growth share that analysts are tipping as a buy is Megaport. It offers scalable bandwidth for public and private cloud connections, metro ethernet, data centre backhaul, and internet exchange services. The company's software layer provides users with a clever and easy way to create and manage network connections. Through the Megaport network, businesses can deploy private point-to-point connectivity between any of the locations on Megaport's global network infrastructure. This leaves the company extremely well-positioned to benefit from the structural shift to the cloud and the artificial intelligence (AI). In fact, Goldman Sachs believes Megaport has an enormous growth potential. It has previously stated that it estimates that the company's "opportunity for further growth is immense [with] GSe A$129bn p.a. spent on fixed enterprise networking across MP1 geographies." It adds: While acknowledging mixed near-term execution around the partner channel and the new MVE product, we are Buy rated on the name as we remain confident MP1 has a clear product advantage vs. peers and a decade-long runway for robust growth. Despite the soft operational trends in recent periods, we expect still robust top-line growth, with the increased focus on profitable growth supporting an attractive earnings profile over FY25-26. The broker has a buy rating and $10.40 price target on its shares. ( ) Another ASX 200 growth share that has been named as a buy is WiseTech Global. It is the logistics solutions company behind the popular CargoWise One platform. The company notes that CargoWise One is regarded as the logistics industry's most advanced enterprise-class management system, with a deeply feature-rich set of vertical and horizontal, whole-of-enterprise capabilities that provide comprehensive functionality for logistics execution needs across the supply chain. Given the quality of its platform, the company boasts incredible industry adoption rates, high recurring revenue, and ultra low churn rates. This has been underpinning strong earnings and revenue growth for some time and Bell Potter believes more of the same is coming. It said: At its recent AGM, WTC downgraded its FY25 guidance by up to around 10% at revenue and 15% at EBITDA, principally due to the delay in the release of one of the company's new products – Container Transport Optimisation – due to "distractions flowing from the recent media attention and the organisational changes that have subsequently been implemented." The release is now expected to occur in 2HFY25 rather than 1HFY25, and we note that the releases of the company's other new products – ComplianceWise and CargoWise Next – are on track. In our view, WTC appears oversold at current levels and as one of the best growth names on the market, the recent downgrade presents a buying opportunity. Bell Potter has a buy rating and $140.00 price target on its shares.
