candy crush esports Increasingly, society has evolved into one where automation and technology rule the day. In this digital society, IT and cybersecurity risk management must be elevated to the same level as market risk, compliance risk, operational risk, and so on. Another area undergoing considerable change is third party risk management . What does the next year have in store for third party risk management? Considering this for Digital Journal is Brad Hibbert, Chief Strategy Officer & Chief Operating Officer at the company Prevalent . Hibbert divides his assessment into two key areas: the maturity of third party risk management and the necessity of transforming the process into ‘third party lifecycle management’ (and with this achieving greater stability). Third party risk management matures from experiment to expectation According to Hibbert, the year has been a record one “for third-party security incidents , with breaches such as MOVEit dominating the headlines.” In response there has been “regulatory pressure from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and several European entities to improve the governance over third-party outsourcing arrangements is also driving the evolution of third party risk management from a project that aims to manage risks to a program that addresses risks across a third-party lifecycle.” In other words, explains Hibbert, “third party risk managementis no longer an experiment; it’s an expectation. This maturation has solidified its position as a table stakes element in organizational risk management decision making.” So what does this mean for an enterprise? Hibbert suspects “despite economic uncertainty, inflation, and labor shortages, investment in third party risk management is expected to remain consistent into 2024. Board-level and executive-level engagement in third party risk management will persist due to continued third-party security incidents and regulatory pressure. While challenges in finding skilled third party risk management practitioners may continue, efficiency and effectiveness in third party risk management programs will improve thanks to generative AI, machine learning, data analysis, enhanced automation, and program outsourcing.” Engagement from multiple internal teams will transform third-party risk management into third-party lifecycle management For the second area of inquiry, Hibberts predicts a transformation in third party risk management. He considers: “It’s not enough to manage risks, you have to manage the lifecycle of a vendor relationship to understand the context of the risks your organization is exposed to. Otherwise, third party risk management devolves into a check-the-box exercise. This will require third party risk management program owners to expand the scope of their efforts to include all parties that interact with third-party vendors and suppliers.” Why a lifecycle-based approach? According to Hibbert: “The third-party lifecycle encompasses all activities related to a vendor from cradle to grave – including vendor onboarding, ongoing monitoring, compliance, risk management, and offboarding. This evolution is driven by different personas and departments, each with their specific needs and interests.” As to internal firm dynamics, Hibbert predicts: “procurement is expected to play a more prominent role in driving third-party lifecycle management. Legal departments will automate clause detection and comparative analysis. Risk management will continue to be a core player, while operations will use data sets from various sources to enhance operational resilience and ensure quality. Audits will persist, as compliance and regulatory mandates become more complex. The involvement of various business areas in third-party lifecycle management is a trend that is set to continue.” Dr. Tim Sandle is Digital Journal's Editor-at-Large for science news.Tim specializes in science, technology, environmental, business, and health journalism.

"Poor guy got hit where the sun don’t shine, and it ruptured his testicle. He can’t even lift anything," Foligno told the 93X "Half-Assed Morning Show" Wednesday. Foligno said he and his teammates "thought he was gonna lose one nut." "But it actually survived, and he’s got them both still," Foligno added. Folgino said Zuccarello's protective cup had a "massive dent in it."

Zuccarello underwent surgery after the injury, and he's expected to miss about four weeks. Zuccarello is fourth on the team with 14 points (six goals, eight assists) and has skated on the first line with three-time All-Star Kirill Kaprizov and center Marco Rossi. "Zuccy’s such an important part of the team. I’ve really enjoyed coaching him. He’s a veteran player. He’s an extreme competitor. He’s got great hockey sense, his value on the power play, obviously his chemistry with Kirill. But, to me, the way he’s come in this year and he’s played, he’s a real key guy," head coach John Hynes said. "That being said, he’s played a long time, too. So, I know when he comes back, he’s going to be back to where he is."

Predators aim to energize offense vs. surging Maple LeafsAdvanced Micro Devices ( AMD -2.83% ) and Marvell Technology ( MRVL 10.79% ) have enjoyed contrasting fortunes on the stock market in 2024, with one of these names delivering stellar gains while the other one is in the red. More specifically, AMD stock's decline of 13% this year pales in comparison to the impressive 76% surge in Marvell's shares. Both companies are benefiting from the growing demand for chips to power artificial intelligence (AI). So, will Marvell remain the better AI stock of the two in 2025 as well? Or can AMD turn its fortunes around in the new year and outperform Marvell? Let's find out. The case for AMD AMD has been playing second fiddle to Nvidia in the market for AI data center graphics processing units (GPUs). Even so, the company's data center business has been growing at an impressive pace. In the third quarter of 2024, for instance, AMD's data center revenue increased 122% year over year to a record $3.5 billion. Management says that this impressive growth was driven by the strong demand for its data center GPUs and CPUs (central processing units). The company now expects to finish the year with $5 billion in data center GPU revenue, which would be a massive improvement from the $400 million revenue it generated from sales of these chips in the fourth quarter of 2023. Moreover, the company has kept increasing its data center GPU guidance throughout the year, starting from $2 billion at the beginning of the year. AMD is finding success in other related niches as well, such as AI-enabled personal computers (PCs). This explains why the company's revenue from its client segment, which includes sales of CPUs used in desktops and notebooks, increased by an impressive 29% year over year in the third quarter to $1.9 billion. These two segments together produced 80% of AMD's third-quarter top line, and their solid growth allowed the company to offset the weakness in other areas such as gaming and embedded chips. The company's overall revenue increased by 18% from the year-ago quarter to $6.8 billion, while adjusted earnings were up by 31% to $0.92 per share. AMD's guidance for the current quarter is also solid. The company expects its year-over-year top-line growth to accelerate to 22% in the fourth quarter. Analysts forecast AMD to exit 2024 with a 13% increase in revenue to $25.6 billion, along with a 25% jump in earnings to $3.32 per share. The next year, however, is going to be much stronger for AMD as per consensus expectations. Its revenue is expected to jump nearly 27%, while earnings are forecast to increase by 54%. It is easy to see why analysts are expecting AMD's growth to accelerate significantly next year. First, shipments of AI-enabled PCs are expected to increase by 165% in 2025, according to Gartner . That would be a major improvement over the 100% growth expected for 2024. AMD is well positioned to capitalize on this market's growth, according to its third-quarter earnings call, where it said PC makers such as HP and Lenovo "are on track to more than triple the number of Ryzen AI Pro platforms they offer in 2024, and we expect to have more than 100 Ryzen AI Pro commercial platforms in [the] market next year." Meanwhile, AMD could also benefit from an improvement in the output of AI GPUs by foundry partner TSMC in 2025. The Taiwan-based foundry giant is expected to double in 2025, and it is also expected to use its Arizona fab to make AMD's upcoming AI accelerators. So, there is a good chance that the company's fortunes in the stock market could turn around in 2025 thanks to AI. The case for Marvell Technology Marvell Technology is a key player in the market for AI-focused application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), a space that's growing at a terrific pace. And the demand for Marvell's optical equipment is also growing nicely to enable faster connections in, and between, data centers. These catalysts are the reason its data center business has been growing incredibly of late. The chipmaker's data center revenue shot up 98% year over year in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (which ended on Nov. 2) to $1.1 billion. The remarkable thing to note here is that the data center segment produced 73% of Marvell's revenue last quarter, up from just 39% in the year-ago period. The company's data center growth was so good that it was enough to boost Marvell's overall revenue by 7% year over year despite steep double-digit declines in its four other segments. Management says that the demand for its AI-specific chips is so strong that it is on track to exceed its full-year AI revenue guidance of $1.5 billion by a significant margin. Marvell is forecasting $2.5 billion in the next fiscal year. However, there is a good chance that the chipmaker could generate higher AI revenue next year as well, since it has been expanding its partnerships with major cloud computing providers such as Amazon and has brought an additional customer on board. These catalysts are expected to be so strong that analysts are forecasting a 41% jump in the top line next year to $8.1 billion, along with 77% growth in the bottom line to $2.76 per share. For comparison, the company's revenue is expected to increase by just 4% in the current fiscal year to $1.56 per share, along with a 3% increase in earnings per share. MRVL revenue estimates for next fiscal year; data by YCharts. So, there is a strong likelihood of Marvell stock maintaining its red-hot rally in 2025 as well. The verdict We have seen that both AMD and Marvell are expected to grow impressively next year. Marvell is expected to grow at a faster pace than AMD, but there are a couple of reasons the latter could turn out to be a better AI pick. First, AMD is cheaper. The stock's sales and forward earnings multiples make it the cheaper stock right now when compared to Marvell. AMD PE ratio (forward), data by YCharts; PS = price to sales. PE= price to earnings. Second, AMD is a more diversified AI stock. The company supplies CPUs and GPUs not only for data centers but also for personal computers, indicating that it may have a larger addressable AI market than Marvell. So, investors looking for an AI stock that can deliver a mix of both value and growth may be tempted to buy AMD over Marvell despite the former's poor stock market performance this year.

Harnessing Renewable Energy for Kashmir’s Economic RenaissanceA coalition of Canadian news media corporations has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging that the creator of ChatGPT breached copyright and online terms of use to train its artificial intelligence models. The suit, filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice on Friday, marks the latest in a series of legal actions against OpenAI over the use of data and news materials to train AI systems. The lawsuit seeks punitive damages from the AI developer, as well as payment of any profits that it managed to make from using news articles published by the media outlets. Moreover, the plaintiffs are looking for a legal ruling that would ban OpenAI from using their news articles in the future. “OpenAI regularly breaches copyright and online terms of use by scraping large swaths of content from Canadian media to help develop its products, such as ChatGPT,” Torstar, Postmedia, The Globe and Mail, The Canadian Press, and CBC/Radio-Canada said in a joint statement . They emphasized that the company was doing this without getting permission or providing compensation to content owners. “Journalism is in the public interest. OpenAI using other companies’ journalism for their own commercial gain is not. It’s illegal,” the plaintiffs concluded. The lawsuit is latest among similar legal challenges that the AI developer has faced over the past years. Last December, the New York Times filed a federal lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging copyright infringement. Earlier this year, US billionaire Elon Musk took the company to court over an alleged breach of its original mission to develop AI technology not for profit but for the benefit of humanity. Two weeks ago, the lawsuit was expanded after the tech entrepreneur added OpenAI’s largest financial backer, Microsoft, as a defendant, and accused both of monopolizing the market for generative artificial intelligence and sidelining competitors.

Bruce the tiny Vancouver parrot lands internet fame with abstract artAn Elders client says he will consider taking his business elsewhere as regional branches continue to . or signup to continue reading The mixed cropping and sheep farmer from the Swan Hill region, who wished to remain anonymous, is a client of the Elders Swan Hill branch and said he would be making some difficult business decisions after harvest. "We deal with the chemical and merchandising team at Swan Hill," he said. "All the merch, chem and agronomy guys left so that's where it's been more personal to us, rather than on the livestock side." He said he was in the middle of harvest so it "doesn't affect us yet but it will soon". "We had a very good relationship with the people that were working there and we hope to still have a relationship with them wherever they go, and probably Elders too depending on the prices that are offered - we are still a business," the farmer said. He said they would consider following the to a new company, and with summer spraying on the horizon that decision would come very soon. "Originally our relationship with Elders Swan Hill was purely price based - they were competitive - but the guys that were there, and the branch manager, were very good operators so we formed a relationship," he said. "So now that they've left, it's going to be interesting to navigate. "I don't think we'll be putting all our eggs in one basket in the future, and if we continue with Elders, it will be a whole new team. "The guys that Elders lost at Swan Hill are excellent operators and they'll definitely land on their feet, that's for sure." He said he thought Elders would lose sales as a direct result of these walk outs. "I think I will still use Elders because they're price competitive and they are a reliable name in the industry but the fact that they've lost the quality of their staff there, it will be difficult to navigate," he said. Meanwhile, a veteran ex-Elders employee, based in a northern Victoria branch, who also wished to remain anonymous, said the company culture had changed a lot since his time as an employee. "I think 20 or 30 years ago people were loyal to the firm rather than to their agents, then again you didn't see as many agents moving around back then," he said. "I can understand why the employees left but nowadays people change jobs and companies a lot more freely, a lot more than what used to happen. "That mentality gives employees a lot more options which is good." He said when he was with the company there were financial incentive programs, but those bonuses didn't filter down easily. The ex-employee said it upset him to see million-dollar bonuses to company higher-ups when a firm was struggling. "And we've seen that a lot the past few years," he said. Elders was contacted for comment but did not reply in time for deadline. Petra is a journalist with Australian Community Media's Stock and Land.

Government 'Lying' About Drones—New Jersey OfficialTimes News Network Ludhiana: With work on the new bridge over Buddha Dariya starting, residents of New Madhopuri can expect some relief from flooding caused by the drain overflowing. Work on the bridge was formally inaugurated on Friday. The existing bridge is small and obstructs the flow of the drain during heavy rainfall, leading to flooding. To address this, the municipal corporation floated tenders to build a new bridge at an estimated cost of Rs 1.96 crore under the Ludhiana Smart City Mission . The new bridge will be designed to facilitate smoother water flow, reducing the risk of waterlogging in surrounding areas. By constructing a higher and bigger bridge, the danger of waterlogging will be significantly reduced. The proposal to replace old bridges on Buddha Dariya with wider ones was first made a decade ago. However, financial constraints and other issues hindered progress till it was taken up under the Smart City mission. The project has to be completed by the end of March, 2025, which is the official deadline for remaining Smart City works. MLA, Ludhiana Central Ashok Prashar Pappi inaugurated development projects worth around Rs 5.67 crore in different areas of Ludhiana central constituency on Friday, including this bridge. He also launched projects to reconstruct streets in different areas of the constituency, including Amarpura, Janakpuri, Hari Kartar colony, Cheema colony, near Kusht Ashram, New Shivaji Nagar, Hargobind Nagar and Mohalla Bhardwaj.

Residents and political figures blame a lack of will and suggest stricter enforcement against polluting industries is crucial for real progress.
