The ( ) is one of my favourite buy ideas because of its long-term potential. I'm always on the lookout for businesses that can significantly scale from where they are today. I think Tuas could be one of those companies that may be much bigger in five years' time. Why? The company is demonstrating a lot of characteristics that make me believe its revenue and, more importantly, profit could be notably higher than it is today. Let me explain why I'm confident about it has risen even higher. One of the most important things for the telco company is to simply keep adding more subscribers in its home market of Singapore, which I think is a great country to operate in. It's winning over customers by offering great value. In , the business grew its active mobile services by 28.6% to 1.05 million. At its recent , the company reported that its active customers had grown to 1.11 million, which was an increase of 26.6% year over year and a rise of 5.7% quarter over quarter. I'm expecting the company to continue to grow its mobile subscriber numbers in Singapore for a long time to come. According to Tuas and the latest available mobile subscriber data, it had reached a market share of 10.7% in Singapore as of July 2024. Another growth avenue for the company to pursue is broadband. As of 30 November 2024, it had reached 10,000 active subscribers, and I think it can add tens of thousands of subscribers in the coming years. To help boost long-term growth, it's looking to make network quality upgrades and target new mobile segments. One of the main reasons I'm optimistic about the ASX growth stock at the current valuation is the likelihood of it expanding beyond Singapore, which only has a of just over 6 million. The investment team at Wilson Asset Management (WAM) believe the business could expand to countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, which have populations of more than 34 million and 279 million, respectively. These are much bigger markets for the company to tap into. In summary, the business is making strong progress in driving its revenue higher. In FY24, the business grew revenue by 36% to $117.1 million, and in the first quarter of FY25, it made $35.5 million in revenue. I think this shows that the business continues to make very good revenue progress. Investors usually value a business based on how much profit it makes, so if profit margins rise, then the profit can rise faster than revenue, which could help push the Tuas share price higher at a faster rate. In the ASX growth stock's FY24 result, its operating profit ( ) grew by 60% – faster than revenue, with the EBITDA margin improving to 42%, up from 36% in FY23. There are signs that the company's profitability grew even further in the first quarter of FY25 – it made $16.1 million of EBITDA, representing a 45% EBITDA margin. The company also reported that its first quarter FY25 was positive, and it also made $18.3 million of operating . In five to ten years, I think the business could make a very exciting profit in Southeast Asia, and it could make strong capital growth between now and then.
On Friday, three leading candidates outlined their visions for the future of the African Union, focusing heavily on regional security amidst ongoing conflicts and political instability across the continent. Aspiring chairpersons Raila Odinga of Kenya, Mahamoud Ali Youssouf of Djibouti, and Richard Randriamandrato of Madagascar emphasized the critical need for Africa to secure two permanent seats on the UN Security Council to better represent its vast and youthful population. During a debate in Addis Ababa, they underlined the importance of fostering inter-African trade as a catalyst for economic transformation and committed to implementing key reforms within the African Union to realize its objectives if elected.

Quarterbacking the No. 1 team in college football is, historically, a pretty straightforward path to New York. Call him Mr. Worldwide: Gabriel, who also played for Central Florida and Oklahoma, hails from Hawaii and is more than a little bit reminiscent of 2014 Heisman winner Marcus Mariota. This season he’s thrown for 3,558 yards, completing 297 of his 406 attempts with just six interceptions. He’s also racked up 28 touchdowns with his arm and seven more with his legs. Mariota, now a backup QB for the Washington Commanders, put up 3,783 yards and scored 38 touchdowns through the air and ran in four more during his Heisman campaign. Gabriel and the undefeated Ducks will play either Tennessee or Ohio State in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day in pursuit of a College Football Playoff title. Fans who stayed up late enough to watch Boise State — the Broncos played only one game in the regular season that started before noon, and five of their games started at 7:45 p.m. MT or later — have witnessed Jeanty dominating week in and week out. With at least one game left on Boise’s schedule, Jeanty is 141 yards from breaking Barry Sanders’ record for most rushing yards in a season (2,628), set in 1988. Sanders’ record for most rushing touchdowns in a season (37) is likely to stand, though a Boise State run to the CFP championship game would put Jeanty (29) within reach. The 21-year-old is the since Derrick Henry in 2015. Jeanty and the Broncos (12-1) will take on either Penn State or SMU in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s Eve. This native of tiny West Columbia, Texas (population: 3,616) threw for 4,123 yards and 36 touchdowns this season (and ran in four more) for a Miami team that narrowly — and controversially — missed the College Football Playoff. He and the rest of the Hurricanes will instead play Iowa State in the Pop-Tart Bowl on Dec. 28. Like Gabriel, Ward is a two-time transfer, a relatively common trait in the portal era. And like all of this year’s Heisman finalists, he began his college career at a non-Power 4 school. Ward played two seasons for FCS school Incarnate Word, then two seasons for Washington State before landing in Coral Gables. He is the winner of the 2024 Davey O’Brien Award, given to the nation’s best college quarterback each year.Stock Radar: Awfis Space, IOB, HG Infra, Saakshi Medtech, NTPC Green Energy, Asahi India Glass in focus on... - MoneycontrolAfter Trump’s reelection, Democrats bail on bipartisan bill that would create new federal judges

CIT Wins CES 2025 Innovation Award for Transparent AntennaLAS VEGAS -- LeBron James was starring in Las Vegas at this time last year, the headline attraction while he and the Los Angeles Lakers were about to win the inaugural version of the event now known as the NBA Cup. It seems very different now. “Personal reasons ... he's taking some time" is what Lakers coach JJ Redick said this week when detailing why James was missing from practice. “Left foot soreness” is the reason why the Lakers have ruled him out of Friday's game in Minnesota. There's been trade speculation in recent days, and it's reasonable to think that a team like Golden State would clamor for James if he was available. And he's turning 40 in about two weeks. Whenever James is out, it's a story. Taking time off for personal reasons, it's a story. It could mean he's hurt. It could mean he's fed up with how the Lakers have struggled in recent weeks. It could mean he just needs a break. It could mean anything. All that is certain is he's not playing Friday. “All of this is very fluid,” Redick said when asked about James' absence. “All of it is. All of it is. That’s what’s crystallized.” James' no-trade clause is the ultimate card in the deck right now. If James wants to be traded, he'll probably get traded. If he doesn't, then he'll remain a Laker and continue on a roster that also features his son Bronny. The Lakers play only two games in the next week. It's a nice time for a break if his left foot is a problem and the wear-and-tear of 22 seasons is requiring him to take some time off. In short, nobody knows anything. Except LeBron, of course. He's the oldest player in the league, has set just about every record that he's going to set, has more money than he could ever spend. There isn't anything left to prove. He is under contract for next season, but the finish line — whether it's after this season or not — is fast approaching. “I’m not going to play that much longer, to be completely honest. I don’t know how many years that is, if it’s one year, two years, whatever the case may be," James said last month. "I'm not playing ‘til the wheels fall off. I’m not going to be that guy. I'm not going to be the guy who's disrespecting the game because I just want to be out on the floor. That won't be me.” The numbers show the wheels haven't fallen off. His scoring is down (23 points per game, his lowest average since his rookie season) but his rebound and assist numbers are up from last season. The only other player this season averaging 23 points, eight rebounds and nine assists per game is Denver's Nikola Jokic, who probably is the MVP frontrunner yet again. The wheels are fine. It should be noted that this time of year is the start of the NBA's silly season. There are 85 players eligible to be traded starting Sunday. Trades are the behind-the-curtain talk of the league right now with some big names out there, including tons of speculation about Jimmy Butler's future in Miami. “Narratives,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Thursday. “That’s going to happen, you know, in every organization at some point during the season.” This might be that point for the Lakers. Entering Friday, they've lost seven of their last 10 games, four of those losses by at least 25 points. James has seemed frustrated, though after big losses it's only natural that he would feel that way. His presence is still felt in Las Vegas this week as the league convenes for the finish of the NBA Cup. There's a giant advertisement featuring James near the baggage claim carousels at the airport, promoting his tie to a liquor company. On the court, though, he won't be seen. And it's not clear when he'll be seen again. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA
John Butler won’t need an audition as Nebraska’s defensive coordinator. NU on Tuesday night announced he'd be the permanent replacement for Tony White, who left the school for Florida State. “John Butler has been a great addition to our staff this season and has proven he is the right coach to lead our defense,” Husker coach Matt Rhule said in a statement. “John has previous success as a defensive coordinator in the Big Ten Conference and has a history of coaching elite defenses throughout his career.” Butler in a statement said he appreciated Rhule's confidence. “I knew Nebraska was a special place before I got here, but it is better than I imagined," Butler said. "I look forward to our continued work with our players to develop them on and off the field. The Blackshirt tradition is one of the best in college football, and we are committed to playing great defense at Nebraska.” People are also reading... ESPN also reported the likely hiring of two more coaches — Phil Snow, longtime aide to coach Matt Rhule, filling an associate head coach role and Kansas City Chiefs assistant Terry Bradden taking the defensive line coach job, vacated when Terrance Knighton followed White to Florida State. Butler, named the interim DC after White departed, served this season as NU’s defensive backs coach and defensive passing game coordinator, joining the team this summer after the abrupt resignation of Evan Cooper. Previously, Butler had spent six seasons coaching defensive backs for the Buffalo Bills, who, in passing over Butler for a defensive coordinator, triggered his departure from the franchise. Now, he’s in line to get the DC job at Nebraska. “I brought him in knowing that at some point Tony was going to leave whether it was a coordinator job or a head coaching job,” Rhule said Dec. 4 of naming Butler the interim coordinator. “John has been a DC before, so right away I said ‘Here you go John, take this over and run with it.’ He’s done a great job this season with putting together game plans and passing game plans with Tony.” Rhule added a “lot of guys love John” among the assistants and the players. Late last week, Nebraska football released a social media graphic touting Butler’s experience coaching NFL players, and the accumulated contract money those NFL players had earned. Butler previously served as Penn State’s defensive coordinator in 2013 before embarking on a long career in the NFL, first with the Texans and later with the Buffalo Bills. Butler coached some of the top-performing secondaries in pro football before leaving the Bills, last offseason, when he didn’t get the DC job in Buffalo. He spent five months out of the game before the resignation of Cooper — now headed to Florida State — opened a coaching spot at Nebraska. “To say this was out of the blue would probably be an understatement from the standpoint of, the timing, where my mindset was,” Butler said Aug. 6 of taking the defensive backs assistant role. “But when the opportunity came — and it came quick — I had relationships with some people in this building, and, obviously, was very impressed with the programs Matt has built through the years.” Snow, defensive coordinator for Rhule at Temple, Baylor and the Carolina Panthers, opted not to take the DC job at Nebraska when Rhule arrived in 2022. Rhule instead hired White, who posted two top-20 scoring defenses in his two seasons. Rhule kept Snow on as an occasional consultant, and in November more fully extended Snow’s consultant role at the same time Rhule hired Dana Holgorsen as a three-game offensive coordinator. Holgorsen is now the full-time OC. Bradden spent eight years with the Chiefs, including the last four as an assistant defensive line coach. Prior to that, he spent three years as a defensive quality control coach and one year as a defensive assistant. He was a college quarterback at Howard University. On Monday, NU’s new edge rushers coach, Phil Simpson, announced his return to the school, as Rhule intends to have two coaches oversee the defensive line. While Snow, a longtime defensive coach, could oversee the secondary, NU could also hire a separate defensive backs coach as Snow consults with Rhule. The NCAA lifted its limit on countable assistant coaches, which gives Nebraska flexibility to add another coach to the defense.

ARFID, or Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, is defined by the Cleveland Clinic as a condition that limits a person’s food intake. It is recognized in the DSM-5 (the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Illnesses by the American Psychiatric Association). The disorder is marked by intense fear and anxiety about food and its specific qualities – like smell, taste and texture – or the consequences of eating, such as choking. Limiting food intake at an extreme level can lead to malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies, which 9-year-old Hannah of Los Angeles has experienced. Fox News Digital spoke with Hannah and her mom, Michelle (who chose not to disclose their last name), about their journey with ARFID, which has included a prominent social media presence. On Instagram, the duo has 1.5 million followers. Their TikTok account (@myarfidlife) features videos of Hannah bravely trying new foods, which have reached millions of views among nearly 460,000 followers. Long before Hannah began sharing her journey on camera, her mom struggled with what she thought was just a “picky eater.” Michelle said that Hannah, the youngest of three, was a “great eater” as a baby — until she was introduced to solid foods. “She would protest, and she would spit the food out, or she would swat it out of my hand, or she would turn her head in the other direction,” she said — all “pretty common” behaviors among kids. But by the time Hannah turned 3, Michelle said her daughter started refusing even the select foods she once ate. “It was very frustrating for us because she was already so limited as to what she was willing to eat,” she said. Since Hannah was still growing normally, her doctors “weren’t too concerned,” and assumed she’d grow out of the picky eating. After COVID-19 hit, Michelle said Hannah’s eating took a turn for the worse, and she eliminated even more food. “It was a big struggle to get her to eat anything at all,” she said. “She had no interest in food whatsoever, and her growth started to slow down.” Hannah’s doctors ran tests to see if there was another health condition, such as IBS or celiac disease. She was referred to other specialists, from endocrinologists to nutritionists. Hannah was also seeing a feeding therapist, which caused “a lot of stress and anxiety,” her mother noted. The doctors instructed Michelle to continue offering Hannah food when she was hungry, but her daughter’s condition only worsened. “She couldn’t handle being around food,” she said. “She couldn’t handle sitting at the dinner table with us. She couldn’t handle the smell when I was cooking something in the kitchen.” As Hannah got older, she didn’t grow out of the condition, but was able to verbalize her internal struggle. “We were in a drive-thru and I asked [Hannah], ‘What would you like me to order?’ And she broke down at that moment and asked me, ‘Why is it that every time you talk about food, it makes me really anxious?’” Michelle recalled. “Hearing those words ... I realized that this was way more than just picky eating. This was obviously tormenting her.” Seeking help and ‘validation’ Michelle decided to seek help from a mental health care professional and found a therapist who specialized in ARFID. She said their first conversation was “so validating.” “I remember saying to her, ‘She has very few foods that she’s willing to eat. And one of the foods is sour cream and onion Pringles, but they have to be in a special packaging. She refuses to eat the Pringles that come in the large container. They have to come in the individual small containers.’” “And hearing the words from her — ‘This is so classic of ARFID’ — was so validating.” The therapist first recommended nutritional protein shakes, which were difficult for Hannah to stomach. But Hannah, who was dangerously underweight, told her mother, “I don’t want to live like this anymore.” “She was at risk of needing a feeding tube,” Michelle told Fox News Digital. “She fell off the growth chart and wasn’t gaining weight. She wasn’t growing in height.” “She just wasn’t getting the nutrition she needed. She was very weak, lethargic and sleeping a lot.” Michelle tried fun ways to get Hannah to drink the shakes, such as timing her and seeing if she could beat her previous record. Next, Michelle suggested taking a video of Hannah drinking her shake to send to her new therapist. Hannah was immediately interested in how her therapist would respond. Michelle then decided to share the video online to help clue in friends and family about what Hannah was dealing with, and to help explain why she wasn’t able to attend holidays or birthday parties due to the presence of food. Now 9, Hannah is using her platform to spread ARFID awareness and share tips she learns in therapy. “Many people since we started our page have discovered that this is what they’ve dealt with their whole life,” Michelle said. “It’s just really nice to meet other people who can understand each other and share stories.” Hannah added that the encouragement she gets online helps motivate her to try new foods. “It makes me really happy because I know I’m helping other people,” she told Fox News Digital. “And I’m also helping myself, too.” Hannah shared that she feels proud of her continuous bravery. “I feel good,” she said. “I’m really energetic today.” Tips for overcoming ARFID During her sessions, Hannah undergoes exposure therapy as well as talk therapy. “We do breathing exercises and coping skills,” she said. “We also try different foods.” Taylor Rae Homesley, executive director of The Emily Program’s Atlanta-based Eating Disorder Treatment Center, works with ARFID patients. She shared details of the condition with Fox News Digital. Since ARFID was coined as a “new term to describe something that’s existed for a long time,” Homesley said it has brought more awareness to the condition and how best to treat it. There are three types of ARFID symptoms that parents should look for in their children, according to Homesley. Examples are, “I’m afraid I’m going to throw up, I’m afraid I’m going to get a stomachache, I’m afraid I’m going to choke,” the expert said. “These are kids and adults who just aren’t motivated by food,” she said. “They’re the ones who may be playing outside for hours and hours and don’t think, ‘It’s time to eat now.’” “These are the kids and adults who are super limited in what they’re eating due to those sensory things,” Homesley said. “They may have aversions to taste, texture, smell or temperature of food.” “A lot of our patients with ARFID are what we consider super tasters,” the therapist added. “They taste bitter flavors at a higher intensity than the rest of us.” Treatment is still being developed for ARFID, but methods like cognitive behavioral therapy have proven helpful, according to Homesley. Michelle noted that ARFID needs “a lot more awareness” and community building, which led her to start the ARFID Awareness nonprofit. “Help is not readily available, and it’s very unfortunate because ARFID is lifelong, and it’s something that does require treatment,” she said. “I feel like bringing the community together and using our voices [is important] so that people see there’s a need.”Game-breaking Black Ops 6 Zombies bug lets you stack unlimited Perks
