PHC directs KP Assembly speaker to address PTM ban issue
Premier completes busy schedule of London meetingsSummary: VCA, proudly part of Mars Veterinary Health , and Antech aspire to collaborate at scale with One Health reporting organizations, envisioning a six-step framework for nationwide health initiatives The pet health companies test framework via a large-scale study of humans and pets across the U.S., revealing COVID-19 transmission to pets with no signs of illness LOS ANGELES , Dec. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VCA Animal Hospitals , a leader in comprehensive veterinary services and Antech , a leader in veterinary diagnostics, today published its Six-Step Framework for Companion Animal Public Health Collaboration, detailing how One Health organizations can integrate pets into a nationwide health response. This innovative framework outlines the necessary considerations and steps to quickly activate this response lever as part of public safety efforts. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between veterinary professionals, public health officials, and diagnostic experts to create a seamless and effective response system. Prior to the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, approaches to understand the impacts of infectious disease outbreaks such as SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, on pets were limited and fragmented. A recent VCA study published in Viruses highlights the effectiveness of this new six-step framework in action with VCA and Antech working together to implement rapid-response monitoring and disease detection protocols. This collaboration enabled swift identification and management of COVID-19 cases, demonstrating the potential of the framework to address a critical knowledge gap bridging human and pet health during an emerging public health pandemic. "Traditionally, pets have largely been ignored in public health surveillance, but we want to change that," said Anne Kimmerlein DVM, MPVM, DACVPM, Veterinary Epidemiologist for VCA Animal Hospitals. "Thanks to the participation of our Associates and their pets, we were able to show the impact that the private veterinary sector can have when we come together to address an emerging public health threat. Based on that initial work, we've created a framework for continued and expanded One Health collaboration." The study involved a nationwide approach, focusing on households with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infections in humans. Pets in these households were monitored for clinical signs consistent with SARS-CoV-2, and samples were collected for PCR and serological testing. The study included 747 dogs and 253 cats. The study highlighted the significance of being watchful of close human-animal contact and preventive measures to reduce transmission risks. The results indicated that pets can contract SARS-CoV-2, primarily through close contact with infected humans. While most pets showed mild or no symptoms, the study nonetheless underscored the recommendation for preventive measures such as good hand hygiene around pets to minimize transmission risks. The findings also demonstrated the potential for pets to seroconvert and develop antibodies, indicating exposure to the virus. "The results of this study show a significant step in advancing our understanding of how closely human and animal health are intertwined – and it was only possible through close collaboration between VCA and our team at Antech," said Christian Leutenegger , Dr. Med. Vet., Ph.D., FHV, Vice President of R&D, Assay Development at Antech Diagnostics . "The research provides a blueprint for continued ongoing collaboration to examine other types of infectious diseases that could impact our pets." VCA and Antech's six-step framework for One Health collaboration sets a new standard for integrating pets into nationwide health responses. By fostering collaboration and leveraging advanced diagnostic tools, this approach helps deliver a swift and effective response to public health crises. The success of the COVID-19 study serves as a testament to the potential of this innovative strategy. "Our commitment to One Health principles has never been stronger," said Marie Kerl , DVM, MPH, MBA, DACVIM, DACVECC and Chief Medical Officer for VCA Animal Hospitals. "By integrating pets into our nationwide health response, we can ensure a more comprehensive approach to public safety and health."

NHL Insider Connects Oilers to Several Trade Targets, Confirms Shake Up Incoming
Brazilian police indict former President Bolsonaro and aides over alleged 2022 coup attempt
Race to be next Oakland mayor somewhat stalled as Rep. Barbara Lee makes up her mind
Trump vows to pursue executions after Biden commutes most of federal death rowFrom the DBS leadership renewal to the Straits Times Index surging to a 17-year high, these are some events this year that captured headlines. G insurer Allianz announced on Dec 16 that it is scrapping its 1.5 billion euro (S$2.1 billion) offer to buy at least 51 per cent of the shares in Income Insurance. Its offer had ignited public criticism as many voiced concerns on it detracting from Income’s social mission to provide affordable insurance to low-income workers. In October, the Singapore government also rejected the deal after assessing that it was not in the public’s interest for the proposed transaction to proceed in its initial form. However, it said it was open to the deal proceeding with new arrangements so long as the concerns raised were addressed. Singapore’s largest lender will soon welcome its first female chief executive officer. Tan Su Shan, who is currently head of institutional banking at DBS, will replace Piyush Gupta next year . In August, Tan was named deputy chief executive ahead of her upcoming replacement of Gupta, who will retire at the bank’s next annual general meeting on Mar 28, 2025. The board said that the decision to appoint the 56-year-old – who has more than 35 years of experience in consumer banking, wealth management and institutional banking under her belt – was “unanimous”. Lawrence Wong was sworn in as prime minister on May 15 , succeeding former prime minister Lee Hsien Loong. Wong, who entered Parliament in 2011 before being appointed as the minister of state for defence and education shortly after, has been in politics for 13 years. He was selected by peers in 2022 to be the leader of Singapore’s fourth-generation team after then deputy prime minster Heng Swee Keat announced in April 2021 that he was stepping down as presumptive PM-in-waiting due to his age, challenges of the pandemic and the heavy demands of the job. Kitefoiler Maximilian Maeder’s Olympic bronze was the city-state’s sole medal at this year’s Paris Games. His Olympic win has earned him a coveted place among the ranks of Singapore’s Olympians – making him the sixth one in the nation’s sporting history. Just shy of 18 years at the time of his crowning achievement, Maeder is also the nation’s youngest Olympic medallist to date. Private cord-blood bank Cordlife’s troubles over the mishandling of cord-blood units deepened in 2024. Four directors and former group CEO Tan Poh Lan were arrested by the Commercial Affairs Department in March. The Ministry of Health (MOH) had imposed a six-month suspension on the cord-blood bank in November 2023 that prohibited it from collecting, testing, processing and/or storing any new cord blood and human tissues after investigations revealed that it had inappropriately stored cord blood above acceptable temperature limits. MOH has since granted the cord-blood bank permission to resume cord-blood banking services “in a controlled manner” as of September. Former transport minister S Iswaran was sentenced to 12 months in jail on Oct 3 after he pleaded guilty to five charges in September. The sentencing sets a precedent for a provision that has not been used in Singapore since independence: Section 165 of the Penal Code, which prohibits a public servant from accepting or obtaining anything of value for free or inadequate payment, from any person with whom they are involved in an official capacity. Beleaguered billionaire Lim Oon Kuin was sentenced to 17 years and six months in prison on three charges of cheating and forgery after a 62-day trial that prosecutors said was one of Singapore’s most serious cases of trade financing fraud. The owner of the oil trading company Hin Leong, who initially faced 130 criminal charges of forgery and cheating involving a total sum of US$2.7 billion, said he would appeal his conviction. The benchmark Straits Times Index (STI) surged to a 17-year high on Nov 8 , climbing up 1.4 per cent or 50.88 points to 3,724.37. This came as the trio of local banking stocks rallied and soared to fresh records. Analysts have listed factors such as expectations that the US Federal Reserve might slow down the pace of interest rate cuts after the US presidential elections in particular. That is positive for the banks, which are STI heavyweights. A series of job cuts occurred this year. Here are a few: Carousell axed 76 jobs or 7 per cent of its total headcount across regional offices on Dec 6, citing the need to reallocate resources away from certain business areas to others that showed promise. Affected employees were given layoff packages including one month of salary for every year of service, with a minimum of three months’ salary. Healthtech startup Dr Anywhere in December announced it laid off around 45 or 8.1 per cent of its workforce in South-east Asia and Singapore. In 2023, Dr Anywhere posted a US$23.6 million operating loss on a US$62.1 million revenue. Beverage manufacturer Yeo Hiap Seng laid off 25 employees after Oatly’s closure of its Singapore manufacturing operations. That is in addition to the 34 Oatly workers affected by the closure, bringing the total to 59. The company said the affected workers had been hired specifically to support Oatly’s production at Yeo’s Senoko plant, and were retrenched as a direct result of Oatly ceasing its manufacturing in Singapore. Sea is cutting more jobs at e-commerce unit Shopee in Indonesia , Bloomberg reported in November, citing sources. Singapore Post (SingPost) sacked three of its senior management staff as they were found to be negligent in the handling of internal investigations over a whistle-blower report that it received earlier this year. The employment of group chief executive Vincent Phang, group chief financial officer Vincent Yik, and the chief executive of the company’s international business unit Li Yu were terminated with immediate effect on Dec 21, 2024.
Lea Miller-Tooley hopped off a call to welcome the Baylor women’s basketball team to the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas, where 80-degree temperatures made it easy for the Bears to settle in on Paradise Island a week before Thanksgiving. About 5,000 miles west of the Caribbean nation, similar climes awaited Maui Invitational men's teams in Hawaii. They’ve often been greeted with leis, the traditional Hawaiian welcome of friendship. College basketball teams and fans look forward to this time of the year. The holiday week tournaments feature buzzworthy matchups and all-day TV coverage, sure, but there is a familiarity about them as they help ward off the November chill. For four decades, these sandy-beach getaways filled with basketball have become a beloved mainstay of the sport itself. “When you see (ESPN’s) ‘Feast Week’ of college basketball on TV, when you see the Battle 4 Atlantis on TV, you know college basketball is back,” said Miller-Tooley, the founder and organizer of the Battle 4 Atlantis men's and women's tournaments. “Because it’s a saturated time of the year with the NFL, college football and the NBA. But when you see these gorgeous events in these beautiful places, you realize, ‘Wow, hoops are back, let’s get excited.’” The Great Alaska Shootout was the trend-setting multiple-team event (MTE) nearly five decades ago. The brainchild of late Alaska-Anchorage coach Bob Rachal sought to raise his program’s profile by bringing in national-power programs, which could take advantage of NCAA rules allowing them to exceed the maximum allotment of regular-season games if they played the three-game tournament outside the contiguous 48 states. The first edition, named the Sea Wolf Classic, saw N.C. State beat Louisville 72-66 for the title on Nov. 26, 1978. The Maui Invitational followed in November 1984, borne from the buzz of NAIA program Chaminade’s shocking upset of top-ranked Virginia and 7-foot-4 star Ralph Sampson in Hawaii two years earlier. Events kept coming, with warm-weather locales getting in on the action. The Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Cancun Challenge in Mexico. The Cayman Islands Classic. The Jamaica Classic. The Myrtle Beach Invitational joining the Charleston Classic in South Carolina. Numerous tournaments in Florida. Some events have faded away like the Puerto Rico Tipoff and the Great Alaska Shootout, the latter in 2017 amid event competition and schools opting for warm-weather locales. Notre Dame takes on Chaminade during the first half of a 2017 game in Lahaina, Hawaii. Miller-Tooley’s push to build an MTE for Atlantis began as a December 2010 doubleheader with Georgia Tech beating Richmond and Virginia Tech beating Mississippi State in a prove-it moment for a tournament’s viability. It also required changing NCAA legislation to permit MTEs in the Bahamas. Approval came in March 2011; the first eight-team Atlantis men’s tournament followed in November. That tournament quickly earned marquee status with big-name fields, with Atlantis champions Villanova (2017) and Virginia (2018) later winning that season’s NCAA title. Games run in a ballroom-turned-arena at the resort, where players also check out massive swimming pools, water slides and inner-tube rapids surrounded by palm trees and the Atlantic Ocean. “It’s just the value of getting your passport stamped, that will never get old,” Miller-Tooley said. “Watching some of these kids, this may be their first and last time – and staff and families – that they ever travel outside the United States. ... You can see through these kids’ eyes that it’s really an unbelievable experience.” ACC Network analyst Luke Hancock knows that firsthand. His Louisville team finished second at Atlantis in 2012 and won that year’s later-vacated NCAA title, with Hancock as the Final Four's most outstanding player. “I remember (then-coach Rick Pitino) saying something to the effect of: ‘Some of you guys might never get this opportunity again. We’re staying in this unbelievable place, you’re doing it with people you love,’” Hancock said. “It was a business trip for us there at Thanksgiving, but he definitely had a tone of ‘We’ve got to enjoy this as well.’” Maui offers similar vibes, though 2024 could be a little different as Lahaina recovers from deadly 2023 wildfires that forced the event's relocation last year. North Carolina assistant coach Sean May played for the Tar Heels’ Maui winner in 2004 and was part of UNC’s staff for the 2016 champion, with both teams later winning the NCAA title. May said “you just feel the peacefulness” of the area — even while focusing on games — and savors memories of the team taking a boat out on the Pacific Ocean after title runs under now-retired Hall of Famer Roy Williams. “Teams like us, Dukes, UConns – you want to go to places that are very well-run,” May said. “Maui, Lea Miller with her group at the Battle 4 Atlantis, that’s what drives teams to come back because you know you’re going to get standard A-quality of not only the preparation but the tournament with the way it’s run. Everything is top-notch. And I think that brings guys back year after year.” That’s why Colorado coach Tad Boyle is so excited for the Buffaloes’ first Maui appearance since 2009. “We’ve been trying to get in the tournament since I got here,” said Boyle, now in his 15th season. And of course, that warm-weather setting sure doesn’t hurt. “If you talk about the Marquettes of the world, St. John’s, Providence – they don’t want that cold weather,” said NBA and college TV analyst Terrence Oglesby, who played for Clemson in the 2007 San Juan Invitational in Puerto Rico. “They’re going to have to deal with that all January and February. You might as well get a taste of what the sun feels like.” Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo argues a call during the first half of a Nov. 16 game against Bowling Green in East Lansing, Michigan. Mi zzo is making his fourth trip to Maui. The men’s Baha Mar Championship in Nassau, Bahamas, got things rolling last week with No. 11 Tennessee routing No. 13 Baylor for the title. The week ahead could boast matchups befitting the Final Four, with teams having two weeks of action since any opening-night hiccups. “It’s a special kickoff to the college basketball season,” Oglesby said. “It’s just without the rust.” On the women’s side, Atlantis began its fourth eight-team women’s tournament Saturday with No. 16 North Carolina and No. 18 Baylor, while the nearby Baha Mar resort follows with two four-team women’s brackets that include No. 2 UConn, No. 7 LSU, No. 17 Mississippi and No. 20 N.C. State. Then come the men’s headliners. The Maui Invitational turns 40 as it opens Monday back in Lahaina. It features second-ranked and two-time reigning national champion UConn, No. 4 Auburn, No. 5 Iowa State and No. 10 North Carolina. The Battle 4 Atlantis opens its 13th men’s tournament Wednesday, topped by No. 3 Gonzaga, No. 16 Indiana and No. 17 Arizona. Michigan State Hall of Famer Tom Izzo is making his fourth trip to Maui, where he debuted as Jud Heathcote’s successor at the 1995 tournament. Izzo's Spartans have twice competed at Atlantis, last in 2021. “They’re important because they give you something in November or December that is exciting,” Izzo said. Any drawbacks? “It’s a 10-hour flight,” he said of Hawaii. Mike Tyson, left, slaps Jake Paul during a weigh-in ahead of their heavyweight bout, Thursday, Nov. 14, 2024, in Irving, Texas.

Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the challenges associated with executing our growth strategy, including expected deliveries of aircraft and related sales, and developing, marketing and consistently delivering high-quality services that meet customer expectations. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions, and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance or events. Furthermore, the Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, except as required by law. By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, a variety of economic, competitive, and regulatory factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, that are described in the Company’s periodic reports filed with the SEC including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and other factors that the Company may describe from time to time in other filings with the SEC. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties.
