Macy’s faces accounting scandal: How did an employee hide $154 million in expenses?
The Hammers rose into 14th place and the pressure on coach Julen Lopetegui was eased. The London club has been inconsistent all season and Monday’s win was just its fourth in 12 league games. West Ham was worth the win in the end but the three points came courtesy of slack defending by the home side. Emerson whipped in an out-swinging corner after 10 minutes and, with Newcastle defenders rooted to the spot, Souček stole in to nod home the opener. Then eight minutes into the second half, captain Jarrod Bowen found Wan-Bissaka in the penalty box and he was left unchallenged and had time to fire an angled drive past Nick Pope. Newcastle brought on Harvey Barnes, and then Callum Wilson returned from a long-term back injury to make his first appearance of the season but to no avail. The defeat ended a three-game winning streak for Newcastle and left the Saudi Arabia-owned club in ninth place, four points outside the top four. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccerThey have been road warriors nearly all postseason, and the UMass men’s soccer team will have to embrace that narrative one more time if they want to advance to their first College Cup since 2007. The Minutemen (13-3-5) travel to Denver (12-3-4) to take on the third-ranked Pioneers in the NCAA Division I Elite Eight on Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.). UMass defeated No. 6 Penn and No. 11 Virginia on the road after starting the tournament out with a win over Evansville at home. “It’s been a great ride for our guys, I think they’re thoroughly enjoying it,” Minutemen head coach Fran O’Leary said. “To be sitting in the Elite Eight, having won two games against seeded opponents on the road, I think everyone is very, very happy... We’ve worked awfully hard, and we discussed how hard it is to get into the NCAA Tournament. We didn’t want to waste the opportunity by being nervous or anxious. We’ve attacked each of these games with vigor, and it’s a credit to our guys.” What has turned into a historical season for UMass didn’t look that way after a stumble toward the latter half of the regular season. The Minutemen traveled to North Carolina to take on Davidson – a team that isn’t considered among the Atlantic 10 elite. They ultimately surrendered four goals and were doubled up, 4-2, in a shocking defeat that snapped a four-game stretch without a loss. Since then, however, UMass has been nothing short of dominant. It ended the regular season with four straight wins, the finale a 5-1 beatdown over St. Bonaventure on the road, before losing a tough battle in the opening round of the A-10 tournament in penalty kicks to Saint Louis. The big dance came next, and the Minutemen rose to the occasion. The aforementioned win at Rudd Field over the Aces came by a score of 2-1, setting up a pair of 1-0 clean-sheet victories over nationally ranked opponents to get within one win of the Final Four. Following the Davidson loss, UMass is 7-1 – its only blemish the unfortunate slip up in penalties. And after giving up the four goals to the Wildcats, the Minutemen have seen opponents celebrate a score just three times since. O’Leary pointed to that game as the turning point of UMass’ campaign. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess “That was a really bad game, but the guys really rallied after a tough night and a bit of adversity,” O’Leary said. “There wasn’t a big conversation, just a bunch of bright guys that knew their standards were dropped in that game. We work off fine margins, so if we drop our standards, our commitment together and our work ethic, that can happen to us. It opened a lot of eyes. Just a bunch of guys realizing we have to give it our all every game, and when we do, we can compete with some of the best teams in the country.” Alec Hughes leads the UMass offense into the Elite Eight, as Hughes currently stands as the program’s all-time leader in goals scored. He’s tallied a whopping 16 this season despite missing three games, and over the last handful of games Hughes has really developed a strong connection with those around him – giving everyone a jolt during the most important part of the season. “The hardest thing to do in soccer is score goals, and that’s what Alec does,” O’Leary said. “Alec is a goal scorer. And when somebody scores, it boosts everyone’s confidence and gives them a lift. He’s had a terrific career, we’re delighted he’s with the program.” Hughes scored goals in the first two tournament games. If he didn’t already before, he’s likely to draw a lot of attention from any opposing defense the Minutemen face moving forward. O’Leary is prepared for that, and is also just as confident in everyone else to find the back of the net if Hughes isn’t able to. Whether it be Johan Feilscher, Matt Cence, Oliver Akintade or Andrew Ortiz, UMass has options. And the Minutemen are certainly known to score goals. They rank 15th in the country in goals (44) and average over two per game. The 44 goals is also most in the Atlantic 1o. “We can work on different things to free [Hughes] up in different areas,” O’Leary said. “He’ll find a way to have opportunities in these games. And a big part of it is the other attacking players around him. They take pressure off. You can’t double team everybody. There are other guys that have proven they can score for us.” UMass will have to find a way to get by Denver’s defense, one that is ranked 11th in the country in goals against average. Saturday is sure to be a defensive battle, given that the Minutemen have also played near-perfect in that third of the field. Senior keeper Alex Geczy is a big reason why, as he has recorded three shutouts in his last four games – including two consecutive clean sheets in the tournament. O’Leary admitted that teams don’t make it this far into the big dance without a lockdown player in the box. “You don’t get to the Elite Eight of the NCAA with a poor keeper, no matter how strong the rest of your team is,” he said. “And [Geczy] is terrific. He’s had an outstanding season. He’s got confidence in his back four, and his back four has confidence in him. That goes a long way. They bail each other out. [Geczy] has stood tall in some really big games for us.” UMass is no stranger to playing in these road environments against top seeds, but the Minutemen haven’t quite faced a task as tall as the one Denver provides. They know what they’re up against, but, quite frankly, they don’t care. UMass is there to play its style of soccer. And if the Minutemen do that, they like their chances against anyone. “They’re very, very good,” O’Leary said. “They’re one of the elite teams in the country. But we’re unafraid, we’re unselfish, we’re unspoiled and we’re going to enjoy the occasion.”

West Ham surprise Newcastle with 2-0 away win
NoneNEWCASTLE, England (AP) — Newcastle’s winning run in the English Premier League came to an abrupt end when goals from Thomas Souček and Aaron Wan-Bissaka gave West Ham a surprise 2-0 win at St. James’ Park on Monday.

This conference mainly focused on product training, aiming to deepen the agents' understanding of semiconductor products, enhance their comprehensive understanding of SLKOR's new products, and strengthen the communication and cooperation between the company and the agents, laying a solid foundation for the later business development and market expansion of both parties.

In the morning of that day, the agents participating in the training signed in orderly at the reception desks of SLKOR and Kinghelm [ http://www.kinghelm.net ], and received the product manuals, customized mineral water bottles and newly customized pillows carefully prepared by SLKOR. Each gift was printed with the "Slkor" logo, which not only reflected SLKOR's care and respect for the agents, but also demonstrated that SLKOR not only focuses on the research, development and production of new products, but also attaches great importance to brand promotion.

He sincerely thanked all the agents for taking time out of their busy schedules to participate in the SLKOR 2024 Agent Training and Exchange Conference, and then introduced in detail the current general situation and development of the company. He mentioned that SLKOR had achieved remarkable results in the past year. With the rapid development of the company, great progress had also been made in the expansion of overseas markets. Facing the current situation of the semiconductor industry, General Manager Song Shiqiang also analyzed the challenges and opportunities faced by the industry and shared SLKOR's coping strategies for these challenges. When talking about SLKOR's future development plan, he revealed that SLKOR had a plan to go public in the future and was currently working hard in this direction. He also emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation with agents in the future and hoped that through the joint efforts of both sides, a win-win situation could be achieved. Image: https://www.slkoric.com/Data/slkormicro/upload/image/20241219/6387022556166942627943283.png Subsequently, the conference entered the product training session. Sun Gaofei, the director of SLKOR's Sales Department One, served as the keynote speaker. He is a technical sales elite of SLKOR [ https://tr.slkoric.com ], possessing profound semiconductor professional knowledge and rich practical experience. He believes that understanding how semiconductors are produced first and then getting to know the products will achieve twice the result with half the effort and enable a more professional introduction of products to customers. Therefore, the product training mainly focused on two parts: the semiconductor manufacturing process and the introduction of new products. In the first part, starting from the wafer manufacturing process, Director Sun analyzed in simple terms the entire manufacturing process of semiconductors from raw materials to finished products and explained the packaging process in detail, giving the agents present a clear understanding of the product generation process.

Image: https://www.slkoric.com/Data/slkormicro/upload/image/20241219/6387022556971016399024395.png In terms of the introduction of new products, Director Sun mainly introduced SLKOR's newly launched products, namely MEMS infrared temperature sensor, A/D converter, and gate driver. He elaborated on the three series of MEMS infrared temperature sensors - SL-S-TRS-5.5Dx, SL-W-TRS-5.5Dx, SL-FW-TRS-5.5Dx. Although the product characteristics, functions and applicable scenarios of these three series are different, they can all be widely used in fields such as household appliances, power, and medical treatment. He pointed out that SLKOR's MEMS infrared temperature sensor can bring more intelligent, safe and efficient advantages to smart appliances. The advantage of the A/D converter is that it makes the system data conversion more accurate and the volume is miniaturized. The gate driver is to optimize the switching speed and reduce the switching loss. The gate driver chip helps to improve the energy efficiency of the entire system. During the nearly ninety-minute training, the learning atmosphere in the meeting room was very strong. Director Sun also patiently answered the questions and doubts raised by the agents and gave examples from real life to make it easier for everyone to understand. After the training, SLKOR hosted a luncheon for the agents. Everyone had a warm meal and communication in a Chinese restaurant and said that Director Sun's training was very detailed, rich in knowledge points and clearly explained, which deepened their understanding of SLKOR's products and benefited them a lot.

This conference was not only a meeting for product training and communication interaction, but also an opportunity to deepen cooperation and create the future together. Through this conference, the communication and cooperation between SLKOR and the agents have been further strengthened, and the foundation of cooperation between the two parties has become more solid. In the future, SLKOR will continue to adhere to innovation, ensure product quality, continuously improve product competitiveness and market share, and bring more excellent products and services.
