Drexel defeats Howard 68-65
South Korea’s suspended president Yoon Suk-yeol authorised the military to fire their weapons if needed to enter parliament during his failed bid to impose martial law, according to a prosecutors’ report seen by AFP yesterday. The 10-page summary from former defence minister Kim Yong-hyun’s prosecution indictment report, which was provided to the media, also says Yoon vowed on December 3 to declare martial law three times if necessary. Yoon, who was stripped of his duties by the National Assembly this month, is under investigation for his short-lived attempt to scrap civilian rule, which plunged the country into political turmoil and led to his impeachment. Yoon’s lawyer Yoon Kab-keun dismissed the prosecutors’ report, telling AFP it was “a one-sided account that neither corresponds to objective circumstances nor common sense”. As lawmakers rushed to parliament on December 3 to vote down Yoon’s martial law declaration, heavily armed troops stormed the building, scaling fences, smashing windows and landing by helicopter. According to the prosecution indictment report, Yoon told the chief of the capital defence command, Lee Jin-woo, that military forces could shoot if necessary to enter the National Assembly. “Have you still not got in? What are you doing? Break down the door and drag them out, even if it means shooting,” Yoon told Lee, according to the report. Yoon also allegedly told the head of the Defense Counterintelligence Command, General Kwak Jong-keun, to “quickly get inside” the National Assembly since the quorum for the martial law declaration to be lifted had not been met. “So quickly get inside the National Assembly and bring out the people inside the chamber, and break down the doors with an axe if necessary and drag everyone out,” the report quotes Yoon as saying at the time. After lawmakers rushed inside parliament and voted 190-0 to nullify Yoon’s declaration in the early hours of December 4, the report says Yoon told Lee, “Even if it’s lifted, I can declare martial law a second or third time, so just keep going.” The report also included screenshots of senior defence officials’ messages from the day of the martial law declaration. It said there was evidence that Yoon had been discussing declaring martial law with senior military officials as early as March. The declaration followed a budget tussle between Yoon’s party and the opposition. Days later, Yoon in a speech apologised for the “anxiety and inconvenience” and promised there would not be a second declaration of martial law. Ex-defence minister Kim was arrested over his role in the failed martial law bid. Opposition Democratic Party lawmaker Kang Sun-woo said in a statement on Saturday that “the prosecution has laid bare the undeniable ugly truth about Yoon Suk-yeol, the treasonous ringleader”, adding that he must be “arrested immediately”. South Korea’s Constitutional Court held its first preliminary hearing on the validity of Yoon’s impeachment on Friday. The court will also decide the fate of Yoon’s replacement, Han Duck-soo, who was impeached Friday over his refusal to complete Yoon’s impeachment process and bring him to justice. Tens of thousands of Yoon supporters and opponents held rival mass rallies in central Seoul on Saturday. “The martial law was legal, and president Yoon did it because of the insurrectionary opposition Democratic Party,” said 31-year-old Danny Ko, holding the slogan “Legal martial law, Invalid impeachment!” “The Democratic Party will impeach (acting president) Choi Sang-mok like Han, and the country will go mad.” An anti-Yoon crowd was gathered nearby holding signs such as: “A new leader for the new year” and “Arrest Yoon Suk-yeol”, with many singing along to K-pop songs and John Lennon’s “Imagine”. “I felt so relieved when Han was impeached, he was also part of the insurrection” Kwak Min-jeong, 25, told AFP. Holding a glow stick, Kwak said she would keep protesting until “democracy was achieved”. “We are holding it to show our commitment, and unlike a candle, it will never go off,” she said.

Positive Signal: Joseph P Kelley Shows Faith, Buying $293K In Nordson StockBy PETER SMITH A social-media tribute to Coptic Christians. A billboard in Amish country. A visit to a revered Jewish gravesite. While Donald Trump’s lock on the white evangelical vote is legendary, he and his campaign allies also wooed smaller religious groups, far from the mainstream. As it turned out, Trump won by decisive margins, but his campaign aggressively courted niche communities with the understanding that every vote could be critical, particularly in swing states. Voter surveys such as exit polls, which canvass broad swaths of the electorate, aren’t able to gauge the impact of such microtargeting, but some backers say the effort was worth it. Just one week before the election, Trump directed a post on the social-media platform X to Coptic Christians in the United States —- whose church has ancient roots in Egypt. He saluted their “Steadfast Faith in God, Perseverance through Centuries of Persecution and Love for this Great Country.” “This was the first time seeing a major U.S. presidential candidate address the community in this manner,” said Mariam Wahba, a Coptic Christian and research analyst with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington-based research institute. “It was really a profound moment.” She said many Copts share the conservative social views of other Christian groups in the Republican constituency, and they may already have been Trump supporters. But the posting reinforced those bonds. Coptic bishops sent the president-elect congratulations after his victory and cited their “shared social and family values.” Some Assyrian Christians — another faith group with Middle Eastern roots — similarly bonded with Trump, whose mispronunciation of “Assyrian” at a rally created a viral video moment and drew attention to their support. Sam Darmo, a Phoenix real estate agent and co-founder of Assyrians for Trump, said many community members cited the economy, illegal immigration and other prominent voter issues. They echoed other conservative Christians’ concerns, he said, on issues such as abortion, gender identity and religious expression in public. But he said Trump supported various Middle Eastern Christians recovering from the Islamic State group’s oppressive rule. Darmo also credited Massad Boulos, father-in-law to Trump’s daughter Tiffany, for mobilizing various Middle Eastern Christian groups, including Chaldean Catholics, and other voters, particularly in Michigan, such as Muslims. “He brought all these minority groups together,” he said. “We’re hoping to continue that relationship.” But members of Middle Eastern-rooted Christian groups, and their politics, are far from monolithic, said Marcus Zacharia, founder of Progressive Copts, a program of Informed Immigrants, an organization that promotes dialogue on sensitive topics among such groups in the United States and Canada. He said many younger community members question Trump’s stances on issues such as immigration, and sense that conservatives sometimes tokenize them by focusing on the plight of persecuted Christians in the Middle East while neglecting wider issues of repression in countries there that the U.S. supports. He said there needs to be more informed dialogue across the political divide in these communities. “There is no more high time than these next four years to have that way of conducting conversations,” he said. Republicans also made an aggressive push for Amish voters , particularly in the swing state of Pennsylvania, where they are most numerous at about 92,000 (many below voting age). The GOP has made similar efforts in the past, even though researchers have found that less than 10% of them typically vote, due to their separatism from society. But Republicans used billboards, mailers, ads and door-to-door campaigner to drive turnout in Lancaster County, home base to the nation’s largest Amish settlement. On Election Day, Amish voters Samuel Stoltzfus and his wife Lillian Stoltzfus said they were supporting Trump, citing their anti-abortion beliefs. “We basically look at it as murder,” Stoltzfus, 31, said outside a polling center in the Lancaster County community of New Holland, where dozens of other members of the local Amish community voted. Trump has wavered on the issue, dismaying some abortion opponents, though many have said Republicans still align more closely to their views. Stolzfus added: “Make America great again and keep the moral values,” he said. “Let’s go back to the roots.” Steven Nolt, a history professor at Elizabethtown College in Lancaster College who studies the Amish and their voting patterns, said that while it’s too early to say definitively without further research, he doesn’t see evidence of a larger turnout this year. Lancaster County as a whole — most of which is not Amish — is a GOP stronghold that Trump won handily, though both parties’ votes edged up from 2020, according to unofficial results posted by the Pennsylvania Department of State. Trump’s biggest increases were in urban or suburban areas with few Amish, while some areas with larger Amish populations generally saw a modest increase in the Trump vote, said Nolt, director of the college’s Young Center for Anabaptist and Pietist Studies. “Bottom line, percentage-wise, not much change in the parts of Lancaster County where the Amish live,” he said. Trump directly reached out to members of the Chabad Lubavitch movement, a prominent and highly observant branch of Orthodox Judaism.

Schneerson. Wearing a yarmulke, the traditional Jewish skullcap, Trump, who has Jewish family members, brought a written prayer to the Ohel and laid a small stone at the grave in keeping with tradition. The site in New York City, while particularly central to Chabad adherents, draws an array of Jewish and other visitors, including politicians. About two-thirds of Jewish voters overall supported Trump’s opponent, Democrat Kamala Harris, according to AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters. But the Trump campaign has made a particular outreach to Orthodox Jews, citing issues including his policies toward Israel in his first administration. Rabbi Yitzchok Minkowitz of Chabad Lubavitch of Southwest Florida said it was moving for him to see images of Trump’s visit. “The mere fact that he made a huge effort, obviously it was important to him,” he said.

California Democratic representative wants to work with Trump’s DOGE to ‘slash waste’
Angel Reese catches fire on the court as she scores four straight 3-pointers in less than 20 secondsPrime Minister’s address on Veer Bal Diwas has brought renewed focus to the critical role of youth in shaping India’s future. By emphasizing emerging technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning and drawing lessons from history, the Prime Minister has underscored the importance of equipping youngsters with the tools, skills, and values necessary to lead the nation into a new era of progress and innovation. The sacrifice of the Sahibzadas, who at a tender age defied oppression and chose the path of unwavering faith and courage, resonates deeply in today’s context. Their story serves as a powerful reminder that the nation’s progress often rests on the shoulders of its young people. The Prime Minister stressed the need for a futuristic approach to education and skills development. With the rapid advancements in AI and ML transforming industries, India must ensure its youth are adequately prepared to adapt and excel. These technologies are no longer confined to niche areas but are becoming integral to fields as diverse as railways, semiconductors, travel, and astronomy. By fostering expertise in such cutting-edge domains, the country can secure a competitive edge in the global economy. In this context, the Government’s new education policy is a step in this direction, aiming to equip students with the skills needed for the jobs of tomorrow. However, implementing these changes on a large scale will require significant investment in teacher training, curriculum development, and infrastructure, particularly in rural areas where access to quality education remains challenging. Including vocational training and digital literacy at all levels of education can help bridge the gap between traditional learning and the demands of a modern workforce. The burgeoning startup ecosystem in India reflects the country’s potential as a global innovation hub. Young entrepreneurs are at the forefront of solving some of India’s most pressing challenges, from sustainable energy to healthcare and fintech. The Government’s support through initiatives like Startup India and promoting research and development in science and technology is commendable. However, further efforts are needed to simplify regulatory processes, improve access to funding, and create a more conducive environment for risk-taking. The launch of the ‘Suposhit Gram Panchayat Abhiyan,’ aimed at improving nutritional outcomes through community participation, is another initiative worth mention. By addressing foundational issues like nutrition, the initiative ensures that children have the physical and cognitive capacity to thrive in their educational and professional pursuits. The Constitution’s principle of equality highlights its alignment with the teachings of India’s spiritual and historical leaders. The Sahibzadas’ sacrifice exemplifies the idea that every act in service of the nation is an act of valour. The Prime Minister’s interactions with the winners of the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar further underscore the importance of recognizing and nurturing talent. These young achievers, who have excelled in fields like art, innovation, and social service, serve as role models for their peers and exemplify what India’s youth can accomplish with the right support and opportunities. PM’s call to involve one lakh politically unaffiliated youth in governance over the next 25 years is a bold and visionary move. Political participation by young people can bring fresh perspectives and energy to policymaking, ensuring that governance reflects the aspirations of a new generation. This initiative, coupled with platforms like the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue, provides a roadmap for harnessing the potential of India’s demographic dividend. The Government’s focus on empowering the youth is a step in the right direction. However, the success of these efforts will depend on their implementation and the active participation of stakeholders at all levels. As the nation honours the sacrifices of its past, it must also invest in the promise of its future. By equipping young Indians with the skills, values, and opportunities they need to succeed, India can ensure that its journey towards a brighter tomorrow is driven by the energy and vision of its youngest citizens.
In the current session, the stock is trading at $113.82, after a 0.65% spike. Over the past month, Arista Networks Inc. ANET stock increased by 11.50% , and in the past year, by 91.51% . With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued. Comparing Arista Networks P/E Against Its Peers The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. Arista Networks has a better P/E ratio of 54.3 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 49.32 of the Communications Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Arista Networks Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes. © 2024 Benzinga.com.

Who Is Jacquees’ Girlfriend, Dreezy? Relationship History Explained By Curious about the drama between and his , and the unfolding tensions involving his rumored new girlfriend? Fans have been captivated by the recent developments involving the R&B singer, his ex-girlfriend, and his shifting romantic life. Here’s a look at their fiery breakup, social media drama, Jacquees’ new girlfriend, and the romantic twists that have everyone talking. Who is Jacquees dating? As of 2024, Jacquees is Deiondra Sanders, the daughter of former NFL player Deion Sanders. The relationship came to light after Jacquees posted photos and videos of himself with Deiondra while vacationing in the Dominican Republic in late 2023. This fueled speculation that his relationship with rapper Dreezy had ended, marking a new chapter in his personal life. Deiondra and Jacquees’s relationship has already drawn attention due to a social media dispute between Deiondra and Dreezy. The feud included public tweets and screenshots, creating a storm of rumors about Jacquees’s romantic entanglements. The drama has left fans curious about how the story will unfold. Jacquees and Dreezy relationship history Jacquees and Dreezy’s relationship began in 2018, blossoming from a professional collaboration into a romantic connection. The two publicly confirmed their relationship after working on Dreezy’s song “Love Someone.” Their romance included grand gestures, like Jacquees’s extravagant Valentine’s Day surprises for Dreezy, which became a highlight of their early days together. However, their relationship was marred by frequent breakups and reconciliations. They initially broke up in late 2019 but reunited in early 2020. Despite attempts to keep their relationship private, their public spats on social media often exposed their ups and downs. The pair officially parted ways in 2023, with Jacquees later being linked to Deiondra Sanders. Jacquees and Dreezy’s story is one of passion, collaboration, and turbulence, reflecting the challenges of balancing fame and personal life. While Jacquees appears to have moved on, his past with Dreezy continues to captivate fans, especially as social media disputes hint at lingering tensions.

ROSEN, A RANKED AND LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages Enphase Energy, Inc. Investors to Secure ...Jeannette Neumann | (TNS) Bloomberg News The Nordstrom family is joining forces with a Mexican retailer to take its namesake department store private in an all-cash transaction valued at about $6.25 billion, including debt. Related Articles Business | New shoplifting data explains why they’re locking up the toothpaste Business | Nicotine pouches are selling fast — and falling into minors’ hands Business | Elon Musk’s preschool is the next step in his anti-woke education dreams Business | A busy 2024 set up big challenges for Disneyland in 2025 Business | Netflix is airing 2 NFL games on Christmas Day. Here’s what to know The founding family is betting that the century-old retail chain will be more successful without the scrutiny and demands of the public market after shares in Nordstrom Inc. plunged 40% in the last five years. During the same period, the S&P 500 rose 84%. As part of the transaction, which is expected to close in the first half of 2025, the family and Mexican department-store chain El Puerto de Liverpool SAB will acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Nordstrom. The Nordstrom family will have a majority ownership stake in the company of 50.1%, with Liverpool owning 49.9%. Nordstrom common shareholders will receive $24.25 in cash for each share of Nordstrom common stock they hold under the terms of the agreement, the company said Monday. That’s roughly in line with where shares were trading on Monday. Shares in Nordstrom fell as much as 1.3% on Monday in New York. The company’s stock was up 33% so far this year as of Friday’s close as reports of a take-private deal boosted the stock price. The board’s acceptance of the offer underscores Nordstrom’s decline from its peak and its subdued growth prospects. In 2018, the board rejected the family’s bid to take the company private at $50 per share as too low. Nordstrom’s annual revenue, including income from credit cards, peaked at $15.9 billion in the fiscal year ended February 2019. The company was hit hard by Covid-19 and has never returned to its pre-pandemic highs. Nordstrom is expected to report $14.9 billion in total revenue at the end of the current fiscal year, according to a Bloomberg survey of analysts. Other department-store chains in the U.S. have also struggled as shoppers pivot to online competitors such as Amazon.com Inc., or brand-specific stores such as Louis Vuitton. Executives at Macy’s Inc., for example, are shrinking the company’s store fleet to cut costs, while the owners of Saks Fifth Avenue bought Neiman Marcus Group earlier this year. During the past couple of years, investors had hoped that Nordstrom Rack, its off-price chain, could help buoy the company’s growth prospects and compensate for sluggish sales at the more upscale flagship chain. Shoppers flocked to competitors such as TJ Maxx, seeking deals as inflation soared post-pandemic. But Rack’s performance has been spotty. It stumbled when executives tweaked their strategy and stopped offering as many high-end fashion brands at a discount. Rack reversed course and sales have bounced back. Company executives have focused on opening more Rack stores in recent quarters, boosting revenue. In November, Nordstrom raised the lower end of its annual sales guidance after revenue was better than expected at Rack and the flagship chain. But the outlook is still weak, highlighting the attraction of going private: The company is forecasting that annual sales, including credit-card revenues, will be flat to up 1% versus last year. The take-private deal will be financed through a combination of rollover equity by the Nordstrom family and Liverpool, cash commitments by Liverpool, up to $450 million in borrowings under a new $1.2 billion ABL bank financing, and company cash on hand. The board also intends to pay a special dividend of up to 25 cents a share in cash contingent on the deal closing. The transaction must be approved by holders of two-thirds of the company’s common stock shareholders and the holders of a majority of the shares not owned by the Nordstrom family or Liverpool. Erik and Peter Nordstrom, who are members of the company’s board, recused themselves from the vote, which unanimously approved the transaction. “On behalf of my family, we look forward to working with our teams to ensure Nordstrom thrives long into the future,” said Erik Nordstrom, chief executive officer of Nordstrom. Liverpool, run by descendants of a French shareholder group that dates back more than a century, is one of Mexico’s most important department store chains, with an ornate flagship location in the capital’s historic center. The $7 billion publicly-traded company has ventured beyond Mexico in recent years, acquiring a stake in Latin American retail operator Unicomer in 2011 and attempting unsuccessfully to acquire control of Chile’s Ripley SA in 2015 before turning its eyes to the U.S. with the Nordstrom investment. Max David Michel, part of Liverpool’s founding family and one of the richest people in the country, retired as head of Liverpool’s board earlier this year.
