NoneHP GAVE an outlook for profit in the current quarter that fell short of estimates, suggesting a setback in the personal computer (PC) market’s recovery from a yearslong slump. Earnings, excluding some items, will be 70 US cents to 76 US cents a share in the fiscal first quarter, the company said on Tuesday (Nov 26). Analysts, on average, projected 86 US cents in the period ending in January, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. For the fiscal year, profit will be US$3.45 to US$3.75 a share, compared with an average estimate of US$3.60. An increase in component costs, rather than any issues with demand, is hurting profitability, chief executive officer Enrique Lores said. Prices of parts should decline as the year goes on, he added. The shares fell about 6 per cent in extended trading after closing at US$39.10 in New York. The stock had jumped 30 per cent this year to the close. The PC market had seen a historic decline in recent years after many consumers, businesses and schools purchased laptops in the early months of the pandemic. While signs of a rebound began to materialise this year, shipments again dipped in the third quarter, industry analyst firm IDC said in October. PC makers had hoped that new machines touted as better for artificial intelligence workloads would spur demand. But “buyers have yet to see clear benefits or business value”, Mikako Kitagawa, an analyst at Gartner, said last month. For the fiscal fourth quarter, HP reported sales increased 1.7 per cent to US$14.1 billion, just ahead of analyst expectations. It marked the company’s second consecutive period of year-over-year revenue growth after eight straight quarters of declines. Profit, excluding some items, was 93 US cents per share, in line with estimates. HP’s personal computer business reported revenue rose 2 per cent to US$9.59 billion, missing the average estimate of US$9.74 billion. This was due to a smaller-than-expected boost in sales of computers to business. The release of Microsoft’s new edition of Windows has not fuelled PC demand as quickly as in previous releases, Lores said. HP’s printing segment grew 1 per cent to US$4.5 billion, the first expansion for the business since late 2021. Analysts, on average, predicted a decline of almost 4 per cent. BLOOMBERGOrlando Magic forward Franz Wagner will be sidelined indefinitely with a torn right oblique muscle, the NBA team said Saturday, a major blow for a club already missing star Paolo Banchero with the same injury. Wagner was hurt in the Magic's 102-94 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday. Jeff Weltman, Orlando president of basketball operations, said he would be re-evaluated in four weeks. Wagner has played a key role in keeping the Magic competitive since Banchero was injured on October 30. He has scored at least 20 points in nine straight games and is averaging 24.4 points, 5.7 assists and 5.6 rebounds per game for the season. At 16-9 the Magic are in third place in the Eastern Conference. However, they are still without Banchero, who said on Monday he had "finally" been able to take part in some on-court ball-handling and spot shooting practice. "Obviously (there) wasn't any sprinting or cutting or anything," Banchero said. "But hopefully in the next few weeks I can start getting into more of that and just work my way back into playing shape." bb/sev

Published 21:18 IST, December 24th 2024 The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, sustained minor injuries, while his driver was killed in the incident. An Afghan national who previously worked for the Indian consulate in Jalalabad was injured in an attack on Tuesday, local sources reported. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, sustained minor injuries, while his driver was killed in the incident. Indian officials confirmed that the attack appears to be linked to personal enmity rather than any broader political or diplomatic concerns. India had closed its consulate in Jalalabad in 2020 A source in the Ministry of External Affairs said, "An incident took place today involving a local Afghan staff of the Indian consulate in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. The local staff of the consulate sustained minor injuries in the incident. India had closed its consulate in Jalalabad in 2020 itself." “We are in touch with Afghan authorities and awaiting a report on the incident,” the source added. The Indian consulate in Jalalabad has remained closed since 2020, limiting the country’s diplomatic presence in Afghanistan due to ongoing security concerns. Further details on the attack and the circumstances leading to it are awaited as investigations by local authorities continue.

Tonight's goalscorers 💪 pic.twitter.com/xn9sfZbVow — Liverpool FC (@LFC) December 26, 2024 “If you are in this game for a long time like the players and I am then 20 games before the end you don’t look at it as there are so many challenges ahead of you,” he said after Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah scored to turn around an early deficit following Jordan Ayew’s strike. “Injuries and and a bit of bad luck can happen to any team, it is far too early to be already celebrating – but it is nice for us to be where we are. “I don’t think there was any easy win for us in any of these games; it could have been an easy win against Tottenham but we conceded two and it was then 5-2 – that tells you how difficult it is to win even when you have all your players available. “That is why we have to take it one game at a time. The league table is something of course we are aware of but we always understand how many games there are to go.” Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy felt his side held their own until Salah scored in the 82nd minute. “I think we were in the contest for a result for a long time,” he said. “Three-one was the turning point in the sense the game was done there to get a result. “I think the 60th minute I remember a chanced for Daka to score the equaliser so we were in the game to get a surprising result. “We did well, we did what we could: a good start with the goal but if you speak of a turning point, 3-1 with Salah, the game was done.” Van Nistelrooy left goalkeeper Danny Ward out of the squad after he struggled in the defeat to Wolves and was jeered by his own fans. “The change in goal was one to make and the conversation with Wardy was impressive, the way he was thinking of the team and the club,” added the Dutchman. “I insisted on a conversation and of course it is a private conversation but what I want to share is the person and the professional he is. “I was impressed with that and his willingness for the team and the club to do well. “Really tough what happened for him. We are professionals but human beings as well, when frustration is being directed towards one person that is difficult.”

SOURCE SpaidMany of the major stories in Clinton from 2024 in education, industry, government, healthcare and politics will continue into the new year. The Clinton Community Schools District’s $61.8 million high school reconstruction and renovation project this year neared the end of phase 2, which involves building a performing arts center as well as a career and technical education area. It was helped along by a fundraising campaign that the district launched in June to raise $750,000 to cover costs that inflated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The campaign raised around $1 million. The new theater is expected to open in February. The district also saw its certified enrollment rise for the first time since 2019 to 3,586.16 pupil units, an increase by 27.8, while adjacent districts reported losses. What that will mean for state funding levels will be determined in the 2025 legislative session. A charter school — The Diamond Academy — that sought to use the state’s new education savings account law, which opponents label school vouchers, failed to attract enough students for it to open as planned this year. Meantime, Prince of Peace Catholic School saw an increase in its enrollment and state funding. The Clinton YWCA broke ground to build housing to help people out of homelessness. The $6.9 million project funded mostly by a $4.4 million National Housing Trust Fund grant is being constructed in DeWitt Park, which was sold by the city to the YWCA after the Council declined to rezone property near the Clinton County Jail to allow the facility. The city of Clinton and a concert promoter built larger audiences in year 2 of the Tailgate N’ Tallboys concert series. More than 39,000 tickets were bought by concertgoers from 42 states as well as Canada and France. The first year drew around 32,000 concertgoers. Next year will be the third and final year of the contract between the city and USA Concerts. City leaders have talked about extending the relationship. Construction of Atlas Roofing Corporation’s $224 million, 440,000-square-foot shingle manufacturing facility progressed on the west end of Clinton, with its foundation poured in the fall. The company expects it to be running at full production in 2026. The city also advanced the development of its Rail Park that is key for Atlas. Nestle Purina Petcare followed up on its $156 million Clinton factory expansion in 2022 with a $110 million, 90,000-square-foot Automated Storage and Retrieval System facility that is nearing completion. Also advancing was the expansion of a Regional Water Reclamation Facility, a $130 million project funded by ADM to improve wastewater treatment and support Clinton’s industrial growth. Politically, the county experienced a resurgence of the Republican Party, sweeping all the state and county seats up for election and voting to return Donald trump to the White House. Clinton was the site of Trump’s Jan. 6 campaign rally, which was also the date of the riot he inspired at the nation’s Capitol attempting to stop certification of the election he lost to President Joe Biden. In Fulton, the mayor resigned as the City Council was in discussions about adding a city administrator position. The city ultimately decided not to fill the position. Shortly thereafter, Fulton’s Chief of Police also resigned. Two grassroots movements took shape in 2004, one a response to the city’s sale of DeWitt Park to the Clinton YWCA for its supportive housing project and the other to block construction of wind turbines for industrial level electricity generation. The Save Our Parks group’s petition drive successfully ended with the City Council adopting a new ordinance to put new restrictions on the sale or leasing of city parks. The efforts by opponents of wind turbines, who incorporated as The Don Quixote Society, are ongoing as it seeks to influence Clinton County’s updating of its zoning ordinance related to wind turbines. The county supervisors placed a moratorium on wind turbine developments in the meantime. Earlier in the year, the county adapted its zoning ordinance as a 150-megawatt Rock Creek Solar development by NextEra Energy Resources on about 900 acres of land located between Low Moor and Camanche advanced. The city of Clinton dealt with a utility-level solar development as well, the Alliant Energy solar field proposal for former Ashford Sports Complex property owned by the Clinton School District. After acquiring Genesis Health System in March of 2023, MercyOne enacted changes that affected its Clinton operations. In adapting to a model where larger hospitals in a system are hubs for certain services that smaller hospitals have difficulty providing because of staffing or other issues, Clinton’s cardiac catheterization services were moved to Genesis Medical Center in Davenport. That facility was to become the regional hub for cardiovascular medicine and surgery. Other service expansions are planned for the Clinton hospital. Opposed to the cardiac catheterization services move, interventional cardiologists Drs. Saadi and Ali Albaghdadi decided to open a new practice, Cardiology Consultants, in the Quality Care Clinic and SurgiCenter building on the south side of town at 2745 Lincoln Way. Despite the move from offices in MercyOne-Clinton Medical Center, they retain their relationship with the hospital. The city of Clinton continues to raze dilapidated houses and buildings. More than 200 single family homes have been demolished since the city began its efforts in recent years. The vacant lots, which are usually too small to build new, are first offered for sale to neighbors. The Clinton City Council in May approved the emergency demolition of the former home of a Salvation Army at 405 7th Ave. S. because of roof collapse. The L-shaped structure partially wrapped around Mike’s Fun Foods. The city had also this year razed the deteriorating buildings in the 1000 block of South Fourth Street where a building collapsed in 2023. An agreement between BTS Development and the city requires that four single-family townhouses, each with a two-car garage, be constructed with a minimum investment by the company of $900,000. Roughly estimated, there are around 80 buildings abandoned at the year’s end within the city of Clinton, a city with over 12,000 housing units. The number of abandoned buildings is down from as high as approximately 250 in the past eight years, through ongoing efforts led by the Community Development Department and use of the International Property Maintenance Code.

N. Pandey Vedic Astrology & Vastu Expert Website: www.astrologerjnpandey.com E-mail: djnpandey@gmail.com Phone: 91-9811107060 (WhatsApp Only)Authored by Susan Crabtree via RealClearPolitics , After a screaming match between acting Secret Service Director Ron Rowe and Texas Rep. Pat Fallon erupted at a Thursday House hearing on the attempted assassination attempts against President-elect Donald Trump, n ew details are emerging about the circumstances that sparked the outburst. Several Secret Service sources question whether Rowe has perjured himself during the explosive exchange. The face-off occurred during the final meeting of the House Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Trump when Fallon produced a photo of Rowe standing behind President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at a 9/11 memorial event in New York City in September. Trump and Vice President-elect J.D. Vance appeared on the right side of the photo. The congressman, a Texas Republican, pressed Rowe on why he had positioned himself behind Biden when normal Secret Service protocol would place the most senior member of the president’s detail in that position to provide the best protection to the president. The event took place on Sept. 11, just days before the second assassination attempt against Trump at one of the president-elect’s golf courses in Florida. At the time, the outcome of the election was still unknown, and Rowe was trying to prove that he could quickly rehabilitate the agency’s image after the cataclysmic failures during the July 13 Butler rally that nearly led to Trump’s assassination and did result in the death of Corey Comperatore, a retired local fireman. Fallon accused Rowe of endangering Biden’s and Harris’ lives by taking their top two agents out of position because he “wanted to be visible because you were auditioning for the job.” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas promoted Rowe from deputy director to interim chief of the agency in the wake of the Butler rally. The previous director, Kimberly Cheatle, had resigned after disastrous testimony before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Rowe responded swiftly and angrily to Fallon’s line of questions. “Congressman, what you’re seeing is the [Special Agent in Charge of the Detail] out of the picture’s view,” Rowe said. “And that is a day where we remember the more than 3,000 people that died on 9/11,” Rowe added. “I actually responded to Ground Zero. I was there going through the ashes of the World Trade Center. I was there at Fresh Kills,” Rowe added, referencing a Staten Island landfill where debris was taken. Fallon quickly interjected: “I’m not asking you that.” “I was there, congressman!” Rowe bellowed while pointing aggressively at Fallon before accusing him of acting like a “bully” and politicizing 9/11. BREAKING: All h*ll breaks loose as USSS Director Rowe and GOP Rep Fallon get in a shouting match over assass*nation attempts on Trump. Fallon was sharing a photo of Biden with Trump at the 9/11 commemoration to criticize Rowe. “Do not invoke 9/11 for political purposes!!” pic.twitter.com/RNUfiR5A1a Rowe was already on edge from Fallon’s pointed questioning just minutes before. The congressman asked Rowe whether he knew that Trump was facing a threat from a foreign actor while the Secret Service advance team was preparing for the Butler rally, a likely reference to assassination plots by Iran against Trump’s life. If he did know, the congressman asked why he didn’t intervene to provide a counter-surveillance unit or a full Counter Assault Team, top Secret Service security assets, in addition to the counter snipers the agency provided These additional assets, Fallon asserted, could have prevented the assassination attempt from taking place. An eyewitness to the 9/11 memorial this year tells RealClearPolitics that Rowe’s decision to take the place of the top two agents in charge of the president’s and vice president’s detail spurred resentment among the ranks. The source said there were toe marks placed on the ground with every attendee’s name and title. Rowe’s original toe mark was three rows back. Instead of simply standing where he was designated, Rowe disregarded the arrangement and placed himself behind Biden and Harris. The leaders of those details then had to squeeze in so they could be within arm’s reach of the president and vice president if they faced any threats. The source also noted that Rowe’s wife, a longtime Secret Service employee, was the photographer for the event that day and was snapping “a ton of action shots of Ron standing in his place of prominence.” During Thursday’s testy shouting match, Fallon demanded to know whether Rowe had a gun and radio on him during the ceremony, an apparent reference to whether he was operational and equipped to respond to a threat against Biden’s or Harris’ lives if any arose. Rowe retorted that he did have a radio and a gun on him at the ceremony and insisted that the protective mission was not compromised by his decision to move to a more prominent position. The Secret Service press office provided a lengthy explanation of his Secret Service roles in New York City after the 9/11 attacks but didn’t respond to a follow-up question from RealClearPolitics on whether he stood by those remarks about having a gun and radio on him during the ceremony. Rank-and-file agents were incensed over Rowe’s screaming match and said they doubted the acting director’s testimony that he had a radio during the 9/11 ceremony this year because he wasn’t wearing an earpiece to hear the intelligence chatter on a radio. They also said top Secret Service officials usually do not wear earpieces or ballistic missile vests to ceremonies like the one on 9/11 because they spend most of their time meeting with other officials, not monitoring radio traffic for threats. After the blow-up went viral on social media, the Secret Service provided a statement clarifying Rowe’s work in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks. “ Acting Director Ronald Rowe volunteered to support the U.S. Secret Service’s official response efforts in New York following 9/11 ,” Guglielmi said in a statement. “He was a part of the second response rotation, which occurred in mid-October 2001. As part of his duties, he worked to support recovery efforts at both Fresh Kills Landfill and Ground Zero.” “Acting Director Rowe joined the U.S. Secret Service in 1999 and was working as a shift agent assigned to protect a visiting foreign dignitary in Washington, D.C. on the day of the 9/11 attacks,” Guglielmi added. “In reference to your questions about the 9/11 memorial, all detail personnel were present and had complete access to their protectees during the memorial,” he concluded. While most of the hearing recycled previous revelations about the agency’s failures during the Butler rally, Rep. Mark Green, who chairs the House Homeland Security Committee, also expressed outrage in expletive-laced questions over how the agency missed such obvious security vulnerabilities. Green said the agency’s conduct during the July shooting seemed “lackadaisical” and slammed the agents in charge of the Butler rally, whom he said showed up to the event and “didn’t give a shit.” The Tennessee Republican who previously served as an Army doctor argued that the Secret Service has a “command-climate” problem. “There was apathy and complacency, period, and that’s your mission,” Green told Rowe. Rowe provided a vague response to Green’s concerns. “So, we are reorganizing, reimagining the organization that includes making sure that we are developing leadership programs,” he said. In his opening statement, Rowe said he spent the months since the assassination items focused on implementing reforms to ensure that the failures at Butler never happen again. “I have reflected extensively on the agency’s substandard performance during the advance for the Butler rally,” he said. “It has been my singular focus to bring much-needed reform to the Secret Service, to be an agent of change, to challenge previous assumptions – [to ensure that] the brave men and women of the Secret Service have the resources, leadership, and assets that they need to be successful in carrying out our protective mission.” Addressing criticism that the agents involved in the poor planning for and execution of the Butler rally, have not been held accountable, Rowe expressed frustration with the length of time it takes to provide “accountability” for the failures. “Let me be clear: There will be accountability, and that accountability is occurring,” he said. “It is an extensive review that requires time to ensure due process and the pace of this process, quite frankly, it does frustrate me, but it is essential that we recognize the gravity of our failure.”

In recent months, rumors of crisis and even divorce have haunted Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle. The couple, one of the most famous in the public sphere, had taken on some of their obligations separately, which had led to much speculation. PUBLICIDAD The youngest son of Carlos III was the main protagonist of the DealBook Summit 2024 organized by The New York Times and, in conversation with Andrew Ross Sorkin , columnist of the newspaper and founder of Dealbook, the royal addressed the topic. PUBLICIDAD What did Prince Harry say about the rumors of Meghan Markle's divorce? "I have searched for news about you on Google and there are people who are fascinated by everything you do constantly. They are fascinated by the fact that Meghan is in California right now and you are here. There are articles everywhere about, you know: 'Why are you doing events solo? Why aren't you doing them together?'" Sorkin commented. The columnist commented that he should already be used to always being the center of media attention, but asked him if he thought it was good that his life aroused so much interest: " Definitely, it's not a good thing ," said Harry. Prince William's brother not only showed great sincerity but also made the audience laugh by saying, " Apparently we have bought or moved house 10 or 12 times. Apparently, we have also been divorced 10 or 12 times. So it's like... what? ," he confessed, unable to contain his laughter. Instead of worrying about what is said or not said about their relationship, they prefer to ignore it. " It's hard to keep up, but that's why we ignore it. The people I feel most sorry for are the trolls ," he said about those who use social media to criticize them or send them offensive messages. "I feel sorry for them. I really do." In his conversation with Sorkin, the Duke of Sussex mentioned the fact that his words are often taken out of context many times. In fact, he said that he "had no doubt" that his conversation "will be manipulated or misrepresented against me in some way, and maybe you will also be ruthlessly trolled": "That's why I can only apologize. But I've been invited, so it's not my fault," joked Prince Harry, provoking laughter from everyone present. Harry also dedicated words to his family, made up of Meghan and their children (Archie, five years old, and Lilibet, three), when talking about his goals: “To be the best husband and father I can be.” He also confessed that they are happy with their day-to-day life in Montecito, California, and that he loves living in the United States. “I really enjoy living here and raising my children here,” and added that there are activities he can do with them that “without a doubt, I couldn’t do in the United Kingdom.”
