(AP) — Voters dejected by the presidential election results need to find a way to give back and remain involved, Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton said Saturday as they celebrated the 20th anniversary of the Clinton presidential library. The former president urged audience members in a packed theater to remain engaged and find ways to communicate with those they disagree with despite a divisive political time. The two spoke about a month after former President Donald Trump’s win over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election. “We’re just passing through, and we all need to just calm down and do something that builds people up instead of tears them down,” Bill Clinton said. Hillary Clinton, the former secretary of state who was defeated by Trump in the 2016 election, said she understands the next couple of years are going to be challenging for voters who don’t agree with the decisions being made. “In addition to staying involved and staying aware, it’s important to find something that makes you feel good about the day because if you’re in a constant state of agitation about our political situation, it is really going to shorten your life,” she said.

The event was held as part of a weekend of activities marking the 20th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Library’s opening in Little Rock. The library is preparing to undergo an update of its exhibits and an expansion that will include Hillary Clinton’s personal archives. Hillary Clinton said part of the goal is to modernize the facility and expand it to make it a more open, inviting place for people for convene and make connections. When asked about advice he would give for people disappointed by the election results, Bill Clinton said people need to continue working toward bringing people together and improving others’ lives. “If that’s the way you keep score, then you ought to be trying to run up the score,” he said. “Not lamenting the fact that somebody else is winning a different game because they keep score a different way.” “And in addition, figure out what we can do to win again,” Hillary Clinton added, eliciting cheers. The program featured a panel discussion with cast members of the hit NBC show “The West Wing” and former Clinton White House staffers. The weekend amounted to a reunion of former Clinton White House staffers, supporters and close friends, including former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and adviser James Carville. McAuliffe said he and Carville ate Friday at Doe’s Eat Place, a downtown restaurant that was popular with Clinton aides and reporters during Clinton’s 1992 White House run. He said he viewed the library and its planned expansion as important for the future. “This is not only about the past, but it’s more importantly about the future,” McAuliffe said. “We just went through a very tough election, and people are all saying we’ve got to get back to the Clinton model.”Don’t want green-energy jobs?

MARKET REPORT: Protein drink company bulks up on fresh rating By JON HOPKINS Updated: 22:00, 4 December 2024 e-mail View comments Shares in protein drink maker Applied Nutrition were given a tonic yesterday after analysts at Deutsche Bank said investors should ‘bulk up’ on the stock. The company, founded by Liverpool scaffolder Thomas Ryder, has been losing weight as it drifted lower following its market debut in October. But it was given a boost by Deutsche analysts. The German bank, whose Numis UK business was the sponsor for the Applied Nutrition offering, started the stock with a ‘buy’ rating and a 180p target. In its first ten years, Deutsche pointed out, the company grew quickly by leveraging production and innovation capabilities. And its focus on innovation is a clear differentiator, allowing it to grow ahead of the wider sports nutrition market, which is globally estimated to be worth £189billion. Having floated at 140p on October 24, shares have been on a rollercoaster ride – hitting 150p on the first day but later falling as low as 135p before see-sawing yesterday to close 0.7 per cent, or 1p, higher at 136p. Applied Nutrition, founded by Liverpool scaffolder Thomas Ryder (pictured), has been losing weight as it drifted lower following its market debut in October AIM-listed Science in Sport, which has been hoping for a re-rating based on the Applied Nutrition float, held steady at 26.5p. There was no bulking up for the FTSE 100, which closed 0.3 per cent, or 23.60 points, lower at 8335.81 although the FTSE 250 managed to gain 0.5 per cent, or 112.41 points, to 21,005.15. Broker comment supported British Airways owner IAG, up 4.1 per cent, or 10.7p, to 175.1p as analysts at JP Morgan said it was their most compelling overweight in the airline sector and added the stock to the ‘analyst focus list’. Elsewhere, soft drinks bottler Coca-Cola HBC added 1.3 per cent, or 36p, to 2854p after analysts at BNP Exane upgraded its rating to ‘outperform’, while packaging firm Bunzl gained 0.3 per cent, or 10p, to 3610p despite being downgraded to ‘hold’ by analysts at HSBC. Legal & General topped the FTSE 100 gainers, up 6 per cent, or 13.4p, to 236.3 as the insurer maintained full-year profit guidance and hinted at more returns for shareholders. Meanwhile, Vistry had a dead cat bounce, gaining 4.9 per cent, or 30.5p, to 658.5p even as the housebuilder’s demotion from the FTSE 100 was confirmed.

Victrex was the biggest riser on the FTSE 250 – up 10 per cent, or 100p, to 1104p – thanks to an upgrade to ‘buy’ from analysts at Jefferies. But trading news weighed on Zigup, the former Redde Northgate corporate vehicle hire group, which dropped 12.9 per cent, or 49.5p, to 333.5p after a drop in first-half profits and revenue. Among the small caps, Biome fell 14.3 per cent, or 0.75p, to 4.5p as the bioplastics firm warned on full-year profitability. But miner Tungsten West rose 16.7 per cent, or 0.5p, to 3.5p after appointing Stephen Harrison non-executive chairman.

The agreement grants global rights to develop and commercialise an antibody from Scancell’s Glymab platform. It includes sums tied to development, regulatory and commercial goals, and follows evaluation that showed the antibody can generate highly tumour-specific antibodies for therapeutic development.

In this article DELL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Michael Dell, chairman and chief executive officer of Dell Inc., speaks during the Dell Technologies World conference in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, on Monday, May 20, 2024. Bridget Bennett | Bloomberg | Getty Images Dell Technologies reported quarterly earnings on Tuesday that beat analyst expectations for earnings per share but came up light on overall revenue. Shares fell 6% in after-hours trading. Here's how Dell did for the fiscal third quarter versus LSEG consensus estimates for the quarter ending Nov. 1: Earnings per share: $2.15 adjusted versus $2.06 expected Revenue : $24.4 billion versus $24.67 billion expected Net income climbed 12% to $1.12 billion, or $1.58 per share, from about $1 billion, or $1.36 per share, in the year-ago period . Overall revenue increased about 10% from $22.25 billion a year ago. Dell will give a forecast for how it sees the current quarter shaping up on the call. The company's shares have risen 86% so far in 2024 as investors realize it's one of the most important companies selling tools and systems for artificial intelligence developers. Dell is a top vendor for computer clusters required to develop and deploy artificial intelligence, especially computers based around Nvidia chips. It competes against other server makers such as Supermicro and HPE , as well as manufacturers in Asia. Demand for Nvidia's AI accelerators remains high from cloud providers, enterprises, and government institutions, who often buy systems installed with tens of thousands of AI chips. Dell sells the completed systems. This year, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hailed Dell and its founder Michael Dell as the company to contact to place orders for its new Blackwell AI chips. "AI is a robust opportunity for us with no signs of slowing down," said Dell chief operating officer Jeff Clarke in a statement. Dell's AI server sales are reported in the company's Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG), which includes AI servers, storage, networking components, and traditional servers. The group's revenue rose 34%, mostly driven by AI sales, to $11.4 billion. The strongest part of Dell's ISG business was its Servers and Networking subsidiary, which includes AI systems. Revenue rose 58% to $7.4 billion. Dell shipped $2.9 billion in AI servers during the quarter, and the company said during the quarter that customers had booked $3.6 billion dollars of future AI server orders. The company said increased AI server orders boosted demand by "double digits" for its traditional servers, which are less power-hungry and based around CPU chips from Intel or AMD, and can free up room or power inside data centers for companies investing heavily into AI infrastructure. The company's computer storage systems grew less strongly than servers, rising 4% to $4 billion. The overall ISG unit is more profitable, thanks to sales of pricier AI systems. Dell's Client Solutions Group, which sells PCs and laptops to consumers and enterprises, declined 1% on an annual basis to $12.1 billion. While commercial clients buying PCs for their workforce rose 3% on an annual basis to $10.1 billion, the company's sales from PCs to consumers fell 18% on an annual basis to $2 billion.Major Drilling Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results, Building on Robust Net Cash Position

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Solutions Market to Grow by USD 12.4 Billion (2024-2028), Boosted by New Product Launches, AI Impacting Market Trends - TechnavioPHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia City Council members continue marathon closed-door negotiations over a proposed Center City arena for the Sixers called 76 Place . They're trying to come to a deal on the $1.3 billion project after the city rescheduled their initial vote that would have taken place at the end of a public hearing on Tuesday. The project doesn't use any city funds but residents say it still comes at a cost. Some of them spoke about that during Thursday's council meeting. The meeting was not a public hearing like we've seen for weeks regarding the arena, but residents still got up and talked about it. "We do not support this arena in the middle of our city," said Will Chan as he spoke against the proposal Thursday morning. Residents ran their own game plan to address city council members, speaking out against the proposed arena. "This arena threatens the very existence of Chinatown," said one resident commenting on the issue. On Tuesday, City Council postponed the initial vote to get the legislation out of committee. They had planned a hearing Thursday but canceled it . Council President Kenyatta Johnson confirms that councilmembers have been in closed-door negotiations with the Sixers in the 48 hours since Tuesday's meeting ended. "It's a work in progress," said Johnson (D - Dist. 2), "And right now we're just having conversations on what our issues and concerns are." Johnson said there are several issues being negotiated including assurances that women and minority-owned businesses can equally benefit from the project. There also continues to be a stalemate over the Community Benefits Agreement or CBA. In it, the Sixers agreed to give the city $50 million for various initiatives over the course of 30 years. A number of councilmembers, though, have repeatedly said that $50 million is not enough. In the meeting, it was said that councilmembers Kendra Brooks (Working Families Party, At Large), Nicolas O'Rourke (Working Families Party, At Large) and Jeffery Young, Jr. (D, Dist 5) are asking for $300 million. It's not clear if that number is feasible, but it's one that opponents of the arena have latched onto. "The arena is worth at least $300 million to our city, and the current deal is worth just 1/6th of that," said Vivian Chang, an arena opponent. Union leaders support the arena. They question why opponents, who are intent on preserving Chinatown, are now open to the agreement if it means more money in the CBA. "Now all of a sudden at the 11th hour, they're throwing out a ridiculous number like $300 million," said IBW Local 98 Political Director T. J. Lepera. Arena opponents say they don't want the council to rush into a decision. "If they don't get all the details, they recognize that we are going to suffer," said Rev. Dr. Sharon Avant, who is a Committeeperson in the 8th councilmanic district. Arena supporters say the city needs the jobs that a new arena would bring. "We've been here every day making our voices known to council and the city of Philadelphia," said Brian Stevenson, a longtime IBW Local98 member. Mark Squilla (D, Dist 1) represents the area where the arena would be built and nearby Chinatown. he introduced the legislation and says the process is going as it should, with lots of back-and-forth. "Once a decision is made, some people will be upset. Probably everybody on every side will be upset at the end of the day," said Squilla. The next hearing on the issue is Wednesday. Officials with the Sixers have previously said they want this deal approved by the end of the year. Right now, it's not clear if council will be able to do that or if they'll approve the arena at all. "We need nine votes to move this process forward," said Johnson, "and we don't see nine votes at the moment."
