(Bloomberg) -- Adobe Inc. fell in extended trading after giving a disappointing annual sales outlook, underscoring anxieties that the creative software company may lose business to emerging artificial intelligence-based startups. Most Read from Bloomberg Brace for a Nationwide Shuffle of Corporate Headquarters American Institute of Architects CEO Resigns Cloud Computing Tax Threatens Chicago’s Silicon Valley Dream San Francisco, Paris Named Best Cities for Urban Transportation City Hall Is Hiring Revenue will be about $23.4 billion in the fiscal year ending in November 2025, the company said Wednesday in a statement. Earnings, excluding some items, will be $20.20 a share to $20.50 a share. Analysts, on average, estimated sales of $23.8 billion and adjusted profit of $20.52 a share, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Adobe, known for its software for creative professionals, has been adding generative AI features to its applications, such as embedding its proprietary model, Firefly, into products like Photoshop. The company unveiled an AI tool to create videos during its annual user conference in October, which has been integrated into editing app Premiere and is slowly rolling out to the wider public. The software maker will soon introduce a “new higher-priced Firefly offering,” which includes video models, David Wadhwani, who leads the company’s creative business, said on a conference call after the results were released. A closely watched metric of new creative software business — digital media net new annual recurring revenue — will increase 11% in the fiscal year, in line with estimates. Factored into guidance “is an ongoing strategy to introduce new tiered subscription offerings and add-ons,” Chief Financial Officer Dan Durn said during the call. Adobe’s outlook may be conservative due to “the uncertain pace at which AI usage may take root,” wrote Anurag Rana, an analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence. The shares fell almost 9% in extended trading after closing at $549.93 in New York. The stock has dropped 7.8% this year, lagging behind software peers and industry benchmarks. Investors have voiced recurring anxieties that AI-based creative tools from firms like OpenAI or Runway AI could take market share from Adobe. While company executives and customers tout the value of Adobe’s new AI tools, “investors aren’t feeling that excitement,” Keith Weiss, an analyst at Morgan Stanley, said on the conference call. In the fiscal fourth quarter, Adobe reported that sales increased 11% to $5.61 billion. Profit, excluding some items, was $4.81 a share. Analysts, on average, projected earnings of $4.67 a share on revenue of $5.54 billion. The company ended the quarter with digital media annual recurring revenue of $17.3 billion, slightly ahead of the average analyst estimate. The digital media unit, which includes Adobe’s flagship creative and document-processing software, posted a 12% increase in sales to $4.15 billion in the quarter ended Nov. 29. Revenue from the unit that includes marketing and analytics software rose 10% to $1.4 billion. Integration of Firefly into applications across the company’s products “is driving record customer adoption and usage,” Chief Executive Officer Shantanu Narayen said. Firefly has been used over 16 billion times, he added. On Monday, OpenAI made its video-generating model Sora available to those already paying for its chatbot ChatGPT. Wadhwani said Adobe’s video model will become “more broadly available in early 2025.” Most Read from Bloomberg Businessweek Grand Theft Auto VI Will Rule the Video Game Industry in 2025 Biden Made This Billionaire Much Richer.

The Israel Defense Forces, IDF, stated that the attack targeted an individual allegedly involved in the October 7 attacks on Israel. The incident occurred in the city of Khan Younis, where a white vehicle carrying WCK staff was struck. Images from the scene show the car partially burned-out with its roof caved in and windows shattered. Inside a nearby mortuary, charred belongings, including a laptop, clothing, and an ID badge bearing the WCK logo, were displayed. The Palestinian news agency, Wafa, identified the five killed as Palestinians, three of whom were WCK employees, including the charity’s Gaza kitchen director. However, IDF claimed the strike targeted a “terrorist” linked to the October 7 attack on Nir Oz kibbutz but acknowledged no direct evidence tying him to a specific abduction attempt. IDF described the vehicle as “unmarked” and not involved in transporting humanitarian aid. It has called for an investigation by WCK and international organizations into the hiring of workers allegedly connected to terrorist activities. World Central Kitchen expressed profound sorrow, confirming its staff’s deaths and announcing a pause in its Gaza operations. “At this time, we are working with incomplete information and urgently seeking details,” the organization said, adding it had “no knowledge” of any staff’s ties to the October 7 attacks. This marks the second fatal incident involving WCK workers this year. In April, seven WCK staff were killed in an Israeli strike on an aid convoy, leading to widespread criticism and subsequent IDF accountability measures.

Full House Resorts counsel Elaine Guidroz sells $41,606 in stockBy Political Reporter- Controversial CCC Secretary General Sengezo Tshabangu has spoken about his ill health. Tshabangu rose to prominence after orchestrating the dismissal of several CCC Members of Parliament aligned with the then-party leader Nelson Chamisa. This bold move triggered a major internal shake-up within the CCC, intensifying divisions in the opposition party. Some have since viewed Tshabangu’s actions as a calculated attempt to undermine Chamisa’s leadership, with accusations that his manoeuvres were influenced by infiltration from Zanu PF. Tshabangu’s controversial tactics reportedly frustrated Chamisa to step aside, claiming that the party had been compromised. Tshabangu’s health scare emerged during an international parliamentary business trip, where he fell ill unexpectedly. His condition prompted intervention from Zimbabwean authorities and Parliament, sparking widespread concern about his wellbeing. Breaking his silence on the matter, Tshabangu took to (formerly Twitter) on Saturday, expressing his gratitude: “This note serves to inform the nation and all concerned citizens of Zimbabwe about my gratitude to the Zimbabwean leadership and the Parliament of Zimbabwe for taking care of me during the time of my unwellness. True friends are realized during times of hardships. May God bless you.” While Tshabangu’s post did not reveal details about his illness, his acknowledgement of the government’s support has raised eyebrows, given Zimbabwe’s polarised political landscape. Tshabangu remains a polarising figure in Zimbabwean politics, with critics questioning his allegiance and role in the ongoing tensions within the opposition.
Kaapo Kakko scored the tiebreaking goal during a four-minute power play with 23 seconds left as the New York Rangers ended their first five-game losing streak in over three years with a 4-3 victory over the visiting Montreal Canadiens on Saturday afternoon. The Rangers, who had squandered a two-goal lead early in the third period, had the lengthy power play after the Canadiens' Kirby Dach high-sticked Mika Zibanejad behind the New York net. The Rangers cashed in after Montreal could not clear the defensive zone. Zac Jones made a backhand pass to the middle of the slot to Will Cuylle, who did the same to Kakko. Parked at the right side of the crease, Kakko lifted a one-timer over goalie Sam Montembeault's shoulder for his fourth goal of the season. Kakko's game-winner ended New York's longest losing streak since the final week of the 56-game 2021 pandemic-shortened season. The goal came after the Canadiens' Cole Caulfield and Nick Suzuki scored about 10 minutes apart for a temporary 3-3 tie. New York's Artemi Panarin and Zibanejad scored power-play goals in the opening 40 minutes while Vincent Trocheck also scored in the waning seconds of the first period before the Rangers recovered from blowing the lead. Rangers goalie Jonathan Quick made 25 saves a week after allowing six goals in a 6-2 loss at Edmonton. Mike Matheson also scored for the Canadiens. Montembeault made 24 saves. The Rangers went ahead 9:02 into the contest when Panarin lifted a shot from above the left circle over Montreal defenseman David Savard into the upper corner of the net. Montreal tied with 8:13 left when Matheson entered the offensive zone, stepped into a shot above the right hash marks and ripped a shot over Quick's right shoulder. After surviving Montreal's attempts at going ahead, the Rangers cycled the puck around the offensive zones in the final seconds of the first and took a 2-1 lead when Trocheck tipped in Alexis Lafreniere's shot from the right point with 4 seconds left. New York expanded its lead when Zibanejad faked a one-timer, waited for Chris Kreider to get in front of the net and sent a shot from between the circles by Montembeault. Caufield put a shot from the right circle by Quick at 4:16 into the third, and Suzuki slid the puck into the open net to forge a 3-3 tie nearly 10 minutes later. --Field Level MediaFormer Sinajana resident Luke LG signs with UNLVTributes were paid to the former Scottish first minister, who died suddenly in North Macedonia in October at the age of 69. A private family funeral has already taken place, with Saturday’s memorial service in Edinburgh held to celebrate his love of Scotland and his commitment to the cause of independence. But while some 500 people, including family, friends and politicians from across the spectrum attended the service at St Giles’ Cathedral, his successor Nicola Sturgeon was not present. A rift between her and Mr Salmond – who she had previously described as her mentor – developed during her term as SNP leader. Ms Sturgeon attended the funeral of Scottish comedian Janey Godley in Glasgow on Saturday morning. Her successor, Mr Swinney, was met with boos as he arrived at the service – held on St Andrew’s Day – with at least one person in the crowd outside on the Royal Mile shouting “traitor”. Mr Salmond stood down as SNP leader and first minister after the 2014 referendum in which Scots voted to stay part of the UK. He helped found and went on to lead another pro-independence party, Alba, with Kenny MacAskill, a long-time friend who served as justice secretary in Holyrood under Mr Salmond. Mr MacAskill, now the acting Alba leader, told the congregation – which included Mr Salmond’s widow Moira as well as Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar, former Labour first minister Henry McLeish and Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay – that Mr Salmond had been a “giant of man”. Mr MacAskill, who quit the SNP to join Alba, hailed Mr Salmond as “an inspiration, a political genius” and being “most of all a man who had the cause of independence burned into his heart and seared in his soul”. The cause of independence was Mr Salmond’s “guiding light, his north star”, the former justice secretary said, adding that “he came so close to achieving it”. He added: “Those of us who share his dream must conclude that journey on his behalf. That’s the legacy he’d expect and the duty we owe him.” Recalling Mr Salmond’s words from when he stood down as first minister that “the dream shall never die”, Mr MacAskill concluded his address with the words: “Your dream shall be delivered.” Former Conservative Brexit minister and long-time friend of Mr Salmond, David Davis, gave a reading as did former Scottish government minister SNP MSP Fergus Ewing. Scottish folk singer Dougie MacLean performed his famous song Caledonia, while singer Sheena Wellington led mourners in a rendition of Robert Burns’ classic A Man’s A Man For A’ That. Scottish rock duo the Proclaimers were applauded for their performance of Cap in Hand – a pro-independence song which features the line “I can’t understand why we let someone else rule our land, cap in hand”. Brothers Craig and Charlie Reid said: “We’re going to do this for Alex, with love and respect and eternal gratitude for everything you did for our country.” Christina Hendry described her Uncle Alex as a “political giant, a strong leader, a fearless campaigner” but also remembered his as a “dearly loved husband, brother and uncle”. While she said he had been “the top man in Scotland”, he had “always made time for his family”, recalling how he phoned her brother on his birthday – the day after the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 – to apologise for not posting a card “as he’d been busy”, before telling them he would “resigning in 10 minutes”. She told the congregation: “As his family, we always felt loved no matter how far away he was or the time that passed before we saw him next. “We always knew he was standing up for our country, and for that we were grateful.” Ms Hendry continued: “The world will be a much quieter place without Uncle Alex, for Moira, for the wider family and for Scotland. “Uncle Alex passing means a great loss for many. A loss of Scotland’s voice on the international stage. A loss of integrity in Scottish politics. And a great loss to Scotland’s independence movement. “As a family it is likely a loss we will never get over.” Duncan Hamilton KC, who was an SNP MSP after the first Scottish Parliament elections, but also served as a political adviser and legal counsel to Mr Salmond, said the former first minister had “rightly been hailed as one of the greatest Scottish politicians of this, or any, generation”. He told how Mr Salmond took the SNP from being “a fringe act trying to get onto the main stage” to a party of government. “In Scottish politics, his success was both spectacular and unrivalled,” Mr Hamilton said. “Alex Salmond will forever be a pivotal figure in Scotland’s story. He changed a nation. He inspired a country. “History will certainly remember him as a man of talent, charisma and substance. But also as a political leader of courage, vision and intelligence. “He dared to dream. And so should we.” As the service finished the crowd gathered outside applauded and chanted “Alex, Alex” before singing Flower Of Scotland.

(AP) — Top football recruit Bryce Underwood has flipped to Michigan after pledging to play at LSU. That's according to a person familiar with the situation who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to share the recruit’s plans to join the Wolverines. Underwood pinned a post on his Instagram account, showing a post in which On3.com reported that he has committed to Michigan. The 6-foot-3 quarterback played at Belleville High School about 15 miles east of Michigan's campus, and told LSU nearly a year ago he intended to enroll there. Emperor penguin released at sea 20 days after waddling onto Australian beach MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The only emperor penguin known to have swum from Antarctica to Australia has been released at sea 20 days after he waddled ashore on a popular tourist beach.

He was released Wednesday from a boat that traveled several hours from Western Australia state's most southerly city of Albany.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A person accused of accosting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol Office building pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor assault charge. Witnesses told police that James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, shook Mace's hand in an “exaggerated, aggressive” manner after approaching the South Carolina Republican in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening, according to a police affidavit. Mace, who is identified only by her initials in a court filing, posted a string of social media messages about the incident. She said she was “physically accosted” at the Capitol, and she thanked President-elect Donald Trump for calling her Wednesday morning to check on her condition. “I’m going to be fine just as soon as the pain and soreness subside,” Mace wrote. Mace declined to be treated by a paramedic after her encounter with McIntyre, who was arrested Tuesday by the Capitol Police, the affidavit says. Mace told police that McIntyre said, “Trans youth serve advocacy,” while shaking her hand. Last month, Mace proposed a resolution that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress. A magistrate judge ordered McIntyre’s release after an arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Efforts to reach an attorney for McIntyre weren't immediately successful.Volatility and Risk QHSLab has a beta of -0.66, indicating that its share price is 166% less volatile than the S&P 500.

Robot builders could accidentally kill their human colleagues, researchers have warned. It says there is an "urgent" need for safety guidelines for robots working on construction sites. Boffins are worried ‘Bot the Builders - increasingly deployed as bricklayers, road pavers, drywallers and demolishers - cannot detect human counterparts accurately enough with current technology. As a result health and safety experts said it was critical to know how hard robots can bump into real colleagues without causing harm. Researchers from the Division of Safety Research at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Department of Civil Engineering, Stony Brook University, US, and PILZ Automation Safety warned robots could injure workers by unexpected contact. ‘Bots therefore need to be operated under specific safety procedures to safeguard lives. Researchers noted ‘bots have tools to help them detect human colleagues - including computer vision devices that sense movement and allow them to calculate how to avoid humans. But the study found the tech does not work well in construction where environments are less structured and tasks complex. "An open jobsite such as a construction site is often not an ideal environment for robots to have all necessary sensors to detect workers’ movements and environmental changes,’’ it said. "Environmental disturbance, noises, and an insufficient number of sensors can greatly affect the ability of the robot to detect surrounding hazards and movements of existing objects in the construction space.’’ While robots may be able to detect the presence of workers they may not be able to monitor them continuously from all directions on a building site. If they cannot recognise the human worker’s movements that means it is less likely ‘bots can perform all the required safety operations to avoid them. To mitigate the danger boffins said the industry needs to regulate "energy transfer between the human worker and the robot or the construction material carried by the robot" so collisions do not result in tragedies. The study - presented at the 41st International Symposium on Automation and Robotics in Construction - considered two cases of ‘bots carrying masonry blocks making an unexpected impact with workers. In the first the worker was struck and forcibly pushed away and in the second the ‘bot hit the builder from behind bending them forward at the waist. Researchers developed complicated mathematical equations to calculate the maximum speed the ‘bot must travel at and payload it should carry to avoid causing injuries. The study found the maximum speed of a masonry ‘bot should be less than 700mm per second if it is carrying a 17kg block and 570mm per second with a 25kg stone. At that speed human injuries from collisions could be `adequately prevented’, researchers said. "This approach can provide reference values for safely operating robots on construction sites,’’ the study said. "In the future dynamic models for different scenarios and different operational environments could be developed, such as rainy weather and muddy ground. "The construction industry urgently needs safety guidelines for the use of robotic equipment on open construction sites."Ruud van Nistelrooy ‘disappointed’ and ‘hurt’ after cutting ties with Man Utd
