Iowa quarterback Cade McNamara released a statement Friday slamming the "100% false" media reports that suggested he had thrown his final pass for the Hawkeyes. McNamara has been sidelined since sustaining a concussion during the Oct. 26 win against Northwestern. Backup quarterback Brendan Sullivan has started the last two games for the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) but is out with an ankle injury for Saturday's game at Maryland (4-6, 1-6). Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said earlier this week that Jackson Stratton will be the likely starter against the Terrapins if McNamara is unavailable. McNamara's cloudy status prompted speculation on a podcast this week that he was "not mentally ready to play." The podcast hosts from the Des Moines Register and The Athletic also suggested that McNamara -- who played three years at Michigan (2020-22) before transferring to Iowa -- is not "fit to play quarterback in the Big Ten right now." "We don't want to bury his career yet, but it does seem like that interception against Northwestern was his last snap as a Hawkeye," Leistikow said. McNamara, who passed for 1,017 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions in eight games this season, released a statement updating his current status. "My status is the same as it's always been -- a proud member of this football team," he said. McNamara said he has not yet been cleared to play. He said he was cleared to practice on Sunday but suffered an "adverse reaction" and was unable to practice this week and therefore unable to travel with the team to Maryland. "I have been working with the University of Iowa doctors and trainers, a concussion specialist focused on vision training, as well as engaging in hyperbaric treatments as frequently as possible," McNamara said. "I have every intention to play versus Nebraska next Friday night and I am confident that my teammates will return from Maryland with a win." Including his time with the Wolverines, McNamara has completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 4,703 yards with 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 34 games. --Field Level MediaWhy you should eat cruciferous vegetables
After Donald Trump's win in the US Presidential Elections 2024, uncertainty has been looming over various sectors as the Biden government was known to be more lenient when it came to export policies. However, with Trump, the case might be a bit different. Nvidia CEO, Jensen Huang, has made a bold statement that global cooperation in technology will continue even if the incoming government imposes stricter export controls on advanced computing products. During his first term, President-elect Donald Trump implemented several restrictions on the sale of US technology to China, citing national security risks. This policy has largely been maintained by the current administration under President Joe Biden. ALSO READ | Maharashtra Election Results 2024: BJP For The Win Leaves Resort Owners In Loss? Memefest Leaves Netizens In Splits Reuters quoted Huang as saying, “Open science in global collaboration, cooperation across math and science has been around for a very long time. It is the foundation of social advancement and scientific advancement.” He added that global cooperation is “going to continue. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the new administration, but whatever happens, we’ll balance simultaneously compliance with laws and policies, continue to advance our technology and support and serve customers all over the world.” Age Of AI Begins On Saturday, Huang addressed graduates and faculty at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, declaring that "the age of AI has begun" in his speech following the conferral of an honorary doctorate in engineering. As the leader of the world's foremost chip manufacturer for artificial intelligence applications, Huang received the honor alongside notable figures, including actor Tony Leung, Nobel laureate in Chemistry Prof. Michael Levitt, and Fields Medalist Prof. David Mumford. He said, “The age of AI has started. A new computing era that will impact every industry and every field of science. Nvidia has reinvented computing and sparked a new industrial revolution. AI is certainly the most important technology of our time, and potentially of all times.” He further said, “The whole world is reset. You’re at the starting lines with everybody else. An industry is being reinvented. You now have the instruments, the instruments necessary to advance science in so many different fields. The greatest challenges of our time, unimaginable challenges to overcome in the past, all of a sudden seem possible to tackle.”

New Delhi: The SpaDeX mission, expected to launch this year aboard the PSLV-C60 rocket, will propel India to the elite club of nations with space docking capabilities, said Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Saturday. ISRO aims to launch PSLV-C60 on December 30. However, the launch window is open till January 13. The space agency informed that the mission has completed “all tests and clearances”. The integration of the SpaDeX spacecraft is complete, and the spacecraft has been moved to Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. It is currently “undergoing preparations for launch”. While only a few countries have aced the space docking technology, it is key for India for its impending space missions including the Moon mission, and setting up the Indian space station. “The launch vehicle has been integrated and now moved to the First Launch Pad, for further integration of satellites and launch preparations,” ISRO said in a post on X. “ISRO’s SpaDeX mission, launching with PSLV-C60, will demonstrate in-space docking using two small spacecraft. This groundbreaking technology is key to future lunar missions, building Bharatiya Antariksh Station (BAS), and more. India aims to join the elite club of nations with space docking capabilities,” it added. 🚀 SpaDeX Mission: A Leap Towards India's Space Ambitions 🌌 ISRO’s SpaDeX mission, launching with PSLV-C60, will demonstrate in-space docking using two small spacecraft.

The mission will showcase the docking of the two spacecraft in a low-Earth circular orbit. “In-space docking technology is essential when multiple rocket launches are required to achieve common mission objectives. Through this mission, India is marching towards becoming the fourth country in the world to have space docking technology,” ISRO said. It will also demonstrate “the transfer of electric power between the docked spacecraft, which is essential for future applications such as in-space robotics — composite spacecraft control, and payload operations after undocking”. ISRO has also developed indigenous technologies to enable this docking mission. This includes a docking mechanism, a suite of four rendezvous and docking sensors, power transfer technology, indigenous novel autonomous rendezvous and docking strategy, inter-satellite communication link (ISL) for autonomous communication between spacecraft, incorporated with inbuilt intelligence to know the states of the other spacecraft, among others. This mission will be a forerunner for autonomous docking needed for future lunar missions like Chandrayaan-4 without the support of GNSS from Earth, ISRO said.

Following the directive of the political echelon, the IDF, through COGAT’s Coordination and Liaison Administration for Gaza (CLA), continues to act per international law to facilitate and support humanitarian responses for Gaza residents, particularly in the medical field. Accordingly, on Saturday, in coordination with the CLA for Gaza, 17 patients and their caregivers were transferred from Kamal Adwan Hospital to other hospitals in the Gaza Strip via two ambulances. This transfer was carried out as a part of the IDF and health authorities' request to safely evacuate hospitals in the area to protect residents along humanitarian evacuation routes and operational medical centers in the Gaza Strip. 323 patients, caregivers, and medical staff have been transferred from hospitals in the northern Gaza Strip over the past few weeks. Additionally, Kamal Adwan Hospital has received 60,000 liters of fuel, 230 crates of medical supplies and medication, 180 blood units, and eight trucks of food and water in recent weeks.Some dividends are more durable than others. That's due to a combination of the underlying company's financial strength and the resiliency of its business model. Companies with those characteristics make excellent ones to buy and hold for a lifetime of stable and growing dividend income. Many real estate investment trusts ( REITs ) have those durable traits, including Agree Realty ( ADC -0.51% ) , Stag Industrial ( STAG -0.39% ) , and Sun Communities ( SUI -1.32% ) . That makes them ideal for those seeking enduring income that should stand the test of time. A strong foundation Agree Realty has been the model of consistency over the years. The retail REIT has grown its dividend at a solid 5.7% annual rate during the past 10 years. Its dividend currently yields over 4%, putting it several times higher than the S&P 500 's ( ^GSPC 0.25% ) 1.2% yield. The company has built a very strong foundation. It focuses on owning freestanding properties leased to high-quality retailers (67.5% have investment-grade credit) in resilient sectors (e.g., grocery, home improvement, tire and auto service, and convenience stores). It utilizes long-term net leases or ground leases that provide predictable rental income because tenants cover all operating costs (including routine maintenance, building insurance, and real estate taxes). Agree Realty also has a very strong financial foundation. It has an excellent investment-grade credit rating backed by a low leverage ratio . That gives it the financial flexibility to continue acquiring income-generating retail properties. It also has a very conservative dividend payout ratio for a REIT, at 73% of its adjusted funds from operations ( FFO ). The company has a long growth runway ahead. It works directly with many high-quality retailers that still own over 168,000 locations. That should provide the REIT with a steady stream of sale-leaseback transactions in the coming years. Robust demand for this real estate Stag Industrial has also been very consistent over the years. The industrial REIT has increased its dividend every year since it came public in 2011. It also offers a dividend yield above 4%. The company owns a diversified portfolio of industrial real estate , like warehouses and light manufacturing facilities. It leases these properties to high-quality tenants under long-term agreements that escalate rents each year (2.8% on average in 2024). Demand for industrial properties is robust due to the growing adoption of e-commerce and onshoring of manufacturing. Because of that, it's capturing much higher rental rates once legacy leases expire (30% rental increases on new and renewal leases for the same space in 2024). Stag Industrial also has a low-leverage balance sheet and a conservative dividend payout ratio (73%). It's on track to generate about $100 million in post-dividend free cash flow this year, giving it additional cash to invest in acquiring more income-producing industrial properties. The company expects to acquire $500 million to $700 million of properties this year and has $4.2 billion of potential investments in its deal pipeline. Durable demand Sun Communities has never cut or suspended its dividend in its three decades as a public company. Meanwhile, the REIT has routinely increased its payments over the years, including the last eight in a row. The unique residential REIT currently yields 3%. The REIT focuses on properties off the beaten path from other real estate investors, like manufactured home communities, RV resorts, marinas, and holiday parks in the U.K. These properties benefit from very durable demand. For example, it's very expensive to relocate a manufactured home, which keeps residents in place. Meanwhile, demand for outside experiences is growing, which is driving demand for space at its RV parks and marinas. As a result of these factors, Sun Communities has delivered 20 straight years of rising same-store net operating income ( NOI ). Overall, NOI has increased at a 5.2% compound annual rate since 2000, faster than the REIT sector average (3.2%). Sun Communities complements its solid rental growth rate by making acquisitions and investing in expanding existing locations. For example, it has added marinas and U.K. holiday parks to its portfolio over the past several years. Meanwhile, when opportunities arise, it will acquire additional manufactured home communities and RV parks. The REIT has ample financial flexibility to continue expanding its portfolio thanks to its solid investment-grade balance sheet. Three rock-solid dividend stocks Agree Realty, Stag Industrial, and Sun Communities have long records of paying durable and growing dividends. The REITs back their payouts with resilient real estate portfolios and strong balance sheets. Because of that, they should be able to continue providing their investors with steadily rising income in the decades ahead.

Apple’s investment in the UK over the last five years has now surpassed £18 billion, with the technology giant’s engineering teams in the country doubling in that time, the iPhone maker has said. The US tech giant said it now supported 550,000 jobs in the UK through direct employment, its supply chain and the economy around its App Store – with app developers having earned nearly £9 billion since it launched in 2008. Apple said its engineering teams were carrying out critical work on the firm’s biggest services, including key technology within Apple Intelligence, the iPhone maker’s suite of generative AI-powered tools which are expected to launch in the UK for the first time this week. Elsewhere, the firm said its growing TV empire, spearheaded by its Apple TV+ streaming service and production arm, had also helped boost its investment in the UK with Apple TV+ production in this country tripling in the last two years, the company said. Chief executive Tim Cook said: “We’ve been serving customers in the UK for more than 40 years, and we’re proud of our deep connection with communities across this country. “We’re thrilled to be growing our Apple teams here, and to keep supporting the extraordinary innovators, creators, and entrepreneurs who are pushing the boundaries of technology in so many ways.” The Chancellor Rachel Reeves said companies such as Apple were “intrinsic” to the UK’s prosperity by boosting jobs. “This government is laser focused on creating the right conditions for growth to help put more money in people’s pockets. “That’s what underpins the Plan for Change and is what has driven £63 billion worth of inward investment in the UK through our first international investment summit. “Companies like Apple are intrinsic to the success of our nation’s prosperity – helping deliver jobs, innovative technology, and boost infrastructure.”Psychedelic drugs, back pain or inability to have sex... what did drive suspect Luigi Mangione to assassinate CEO?
