Hartford Financial Services Group Inc. stock outperforms competitors despite losses on the dayA very patient and good dog has been waiting for, what seems like, forever for a family to take notice of her genuine happiness and smile and take her home in Maryland. Angel, a pitt bull mix, was saved from a horrible life and found warmth and love at the SPCA of Anne Arundel County in Annapolis. But while she’s as joyful as she could possibly be, it’s time she finds a good home, the shelter said. “Angel has officially been waiting for her forever home for 4 years. Yes, you read that right...4 years,” the shelter said in a Dec. 4 Facebook post. “This almost 7-year-old girl was taken from a bad situation but NEVER lets that get her down. She has earned her spot as a staff and volunteer favorite but somehow has still been waiting a long time for her forever people to come find her.” Angel has a lot of favorites, including running and hiking and, of course, treats, her pet profile says. “She won’t turn her nose up to any treat!” her profile says. Unfortunately, the shelter believes it’s taken her this long to find a home because she needs to be the only pet in a household with no children. But the long wait hasn’t dimmed Angel’s light. “Angel has a personality as big as her smile. She’s very smart and sassy in her own little ways. For example, on her walks she will lay down if she isn’t feeling a long walk that day and happily roll around in the grass instead or just paw at you for a treat,” the shelter said in the social media post. “Most days though, she’s an excellent walking, running and hiking partner and really enjoys her time outside. Angel is SO sweet and loving and has been described as an ‘old soul.’” For more information on Angel or other adoptable pets, visit the shelter’s website.Micron Q1 Earnings Preview: Analyst Estimates, Why Company Is 'Well Positioned Heading Into 2025'
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.

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.

Alexandria (US), Dec 10 (AP) A Virginia man accused of funnelling tens of thousands of dollars to the Islamic State group was a lonely man looking for a wife and relentlessly targeted by FBI sting operations, a defence lawyer told jurors on Monday, including one undercover operative who pretended to be a willing bride. A jury in US District Court in Alexandria heard opening statements in the terrorism trial of Indian-origin Mohammed Chhipa, 35, of Springfield, Virginia. Prosecutors say he met several times with an undercover FBI operative who gave him hundreds of dollars on multiple occasions in 2021 and 2022, earmarked for a Syrian woman and Islamic State member known as Umm Dujanah. Also Read | George Soros Row: BJP Says 'Allegations on OCCRP Based on French Media Report, US Should Clarify Stand on Soros'. In his opening statement, prosecutor Andrew Dixon said Chhipa took the money on each occasion, converted it to Bitcoin and sent it to accounts in Turkiye, destined for the Islamic State. Dixon said Chhipa sent more than USD 74,000 in similar fashion to accounts in Turkiye, collecting money from willing donors and funnelling it to the Islamic State through Umm Dujanah. Chhipa was particularly interested in sending funds to help women from the Islamic State escape prison camps to which they had been sent after the terrorist group was routed from territory it held in Iraq and Syria, Dixon said.

Dixon said Chhipa was well aware that what he was doing was illegal, fleeing the country at one point, only to be forced back to the United States. At one point, he said while under surveillance, “I'm not sure why I'm not in prison.” Chhipa's defence attorney, Zachary Deubler, said the FBI had closely scrutinised Chhipa for years, based largely on advocacy of extremist views on social media. But he said the FBI never came up with a reason to arrest him, even after searching his home in 2019 and finding a cache of Islamic State propaganda. Deubler acknowledged that Chhipa left the country, through Latin America with an ultimate goal of getting to Egypt. The FBI met Chhipa when he returned to the US at Dulles International Airport and questioned him about his activities but never arrested him. Deubler said the government's entrapment efforts intensified, to include a fake bride at one point and a supposed Muslim marriage broker at another. “He was a lonely, sad, inflated man who the government tried to set up,” Deubler said. The trial began with several quirks. Chhipa appeared at trial in a green jumpsuit from the Alexandria jail, where he is being held. He said he did not want to wear civilian clothes, which are typically provided to defendants out of concern that jail outfits will prejudice the jury against a defendant. After a morning break, Chhipa's family refused to stand when the clerk said “all rise” as the judge left the bench, and US District Judge David Novak angrily told the family either to stand or be taken into custody. No arrests were made, even though several family members refused repeated directives from court security officers to stand. Last year, after Chhipa's arrest, prosecutors said Chhipa considers himself to be married to Allison Fluke-Ekren, an American from Kansas who is serving a 20-year prison sentence. Fluke-Ekren pleaded guilty last year to organising and leading the Khatiba Nusaybah, a battalion in the Islamic State in which roughly 100 women and girls learned how to use automatic weapons and detonate grenades and suicide belts. Prosecutors, though, say that the marriage was apparently conducted online and has no legal status in the US. They said Chhipa, a naturalised US citizen originally from India, has been trying to adopt Fluke-Ekren's children. The trial is expected to last about a week.

It was more Marta Magic. That goal last weekend helped propel the Orlando Pride into Saturday's National Women's Soccer League championship game against the Washington Spirit. Barbra Banda also scored in the Pride's 3-2 semifinal victory over the Kansas City Current . While Banda has had an incredible first season with the Pride, captain Marta has been the talisman that has helped lead the team in its remarkable turnaround this year. The last time the Pride were in the NWSL playoffs was in 2017 — Marta's first year with the club. But this season they nearly went undefeated, going 23 games without a loss to start the season before losing 2-0 to the Portland Thorns with just two regular-season games left. “I think because of the way that we did it, during this season, from beginning to now, it’s something very special that I’ve never had before with any other club that I’ve played for," Marta said. "Plus year by year, we see in America, strong competition. This is the best league in the world. And you never know what’s going to happen, and it’s hard to keep winning the games, being in the first place almost like the whole season. That’s why it’s really different and so special.” Marta’s goal was the latest gasp-inducing moment in a stellar career filled with them. Known by just her first name, the 38-year-old is a six-time FIFA world player of the year. "Let's see if tomorrow I can do something similar — or even better," Marta said on Friday. Her teammate Kylie Strom chimed in: “That was the greatest goal I've ever witnessed, hands down." Appropriate. Earlier this year, FIFA announced that the best goal in women's soccer each year would earn the Marta Award. In a lighthearted moment the day before the title match, Marta was asked if she thought it was possible she might give the award to herself. “You guys need to decide, because who votes for the best goal in the year? It’s you. It’s the people in the public. So it should be really interesting, like Marta’s Award goes to Marta!” she said with a laugh. Marta has played in six World Cups for Brazil and played this summer in her sixth Olympics, winning a silver medal after falling in the final to the United States . She previously said this would be her final year with the national team. But since then Brazil was named the host of the 2027 Women's World Cup. "I had a conversation with my coach, the national team coach, and I was really clear about playing in 2027. I told him it’s not my goal anymore,” she said. “But I’m always available to help the national team. And if they think I still can do something during this preparation for the World Cup, yeah, I would be happy to help them." Marta's club career started in Brazil when she was just 16. She has also played in Sweden and in the U.S. professional women's leagues that came before the NWSL. With nine regular-season goals, Marta has had one of her best seasons since she joined the Pride. “I can never pick a side, I never pick favorites — but I love to see this for Marta," U.S. coach Emma Hayes said. “Marta is someone we all like, admire and are grateful for. And that goal was just like prime Marta at her best. And so grateful for and thankful for her that she got the opportunity with another game with her team.” The Pride went 18-2-6 this season, clinching the NWSL Shield for the first trophy in club history. Orlando also set a record with 60 regular-season points to finish atop the standings. “We are sitting top of the table, but I think there still are a lot of doubters. I think there’s people out there who say, maybe this was a one-off season,” Strom said. “But we’re here to prove them all wrong. So I think we do carry a bit of that underdog mentality still with us.” The second-seeded Spirit advanced to the title match at Kansas City's CPKC Stadium last weekend on a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw against defending champions Gotham FC. The Spirit's roster includes Trinity Rodman, a standout forward who formed the so-called “Triple Espresso” trio with Mallory Swanson and Sophia Smith for the United States at the Olympics.
