A study published on Thursday in Science reveals that a record-breaking marine heat wave in the northeast Pacific from 2014 to 2016 triggered a catastrophic population collapse, wiping out four million birds -- about half the species in the region. Strikingly, they have shown little signs of rebounding, suggesting long-term shifts in the food web that have locked the ecosystem into a troubling new equilibrium. "There's a lot of talk about declines of species that are tied to changes in temperature, but in this case, it was not a long term result," lead author Heather Renner of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge told AFP. "To our knowledge, this is the largest mortality event of any wildlife species reported during the modern era," she and her colleagues emphasized in their paper. The finding triggers "alarm bells," Renner said in an interview, as human-caused climate change makes heat waves more frequent, intense, and longer-lasting. With their dapper, tuxedoed look, common murres are sometimes called the "penguins of the north." Their slender wings power them across vast distances in search of food and make them expert divers. But even these hardy seabirds were no match for an unprecedented environmental catastrophe. The largest marine heat wave ever recorded began in the late fall of 2014, spanning a massive swath of the northeast Pacific Ocean from California to Alaska. It persisted for over two years, leaving devastation in its wake. During this time, some 62,000 emaciated murres washed ashore along the North American Pacific coastline -- dead or dying from starvation. Experts point to two key reasons for the bird deaths: elevated ocean temperatures reduced both the quality and quantity of phytoplankton, impacting fish like herring, sardines, and anchovies -- the mainstay of the murre diet. At the same time, warmer waters increased the energy demands of larger fish, such as salmon and Pacific cod, which compete with murres for the same prey. "We knew then it was a big deal, but unfortunately, we couldn't really quantify the effects," explained Renner. For years after the event, breeding colonies failed to produce chicks, complicating efforts to assess the full impact. Earlier estimates pegged the number of deaths at around a million, but a more robust analysis -- drawing on data from 13 murre colonies -- revealed the toll was four times higher. "It is just so much worse than we thought it was," Renner said of the new findings. The marine heat wave didn't just impact common murres. Pacific cod stocks collapsed, king salmon populations dwindled, and as many as 7,000 humpback whales perished. Yet the crisis created an uneven playing field: some species emerged unscathed, while others even thrived. Thick-billed murres, which often share nesting cliffs with common murres, were largely unaffected, possibly due to their more adaptable diet, Renner noted. For common murres, however, the fallout lingers. Despite nearly a decade since the heat wave, their numbers show no sign of bouncing back -- and the losses may well be permanent. Part of the reason lies in the long-term decline of some of their prey. Another factor is murres' survival strategy relies on numbers: they aggregate in massive colonies to protect their eggs from opportunistic predators like eagles and gulls. With their populations slashed, these birds have lost their critical safety buffer. Still, Renner offered a glimmer of hope. While addressing global warming is essential for curbing long-term climate change, conservation efforts can make a difference in the short term, she said. Removing invasive species like foxes and rats from murre nesting islands could also provide the beleaguered birds with a fighting chance.

Military yet to disclose names of May 9 mastermind, planners ISPR says justice would truly be fully served once mastermind of 9th May tragedy were punished ISLAMABAD: The military authorities have not yet made public the names of the mastermind and planners of May 9 attacks. Announcing 25 convictions of military courts, the ISPR last week said justice would truly be fully served once the mastermind and planners of “9th May tragedy are punished as per the Constitution and laws of the land”. Since the May 9 attacks, the issue has been discussed at different military forums but in the ISPR press releases or press conferences, the names of the mastermind and planners were never announced. However, different federal ministers and political leaders have been accusing Imran Khan of being the mastermind. The caretaker government had for Amed a five-member committee tasked with identifying the “role of mastermind, planners, facilitators and executors” of May 9, 2023 incidents that saw countrywide violence following the arrest of former premier Imran Khan. The caretaker government’s report on May 9, which was presented before the Shehbaz Sharif cabinet, had accused that Imran Khan had “actively contributed” to the planning of these violent attacks on the military installations. The report claimed, “Evidence shown to the Committee suggests several party leaders were involved in this planning. It further suggests that Mr Khan actively contributed to it.” The same report talked about 34 individuals, who had masterminded the strategy of violent street power. It accused 52 individuals as planners and 185 persons as executors of the plan. Although the report had identified dozens of PTI leaders for their alleged role in May 9 attacks, it was not specifically mentioned who were the alleged masterminds, who were the planners and who were executors of the plan. However, in the case of Imran Khan, it was said that he had “actively contributed” to the planning. The report had said, “Investigations conducted so far suggest that there were 34 individuals who masterminded the strategy of violent street power, actively contributed to planning the violence and mayhem. Additionally, 52 individuals contributed to detailed planning and 185 individuals executed this plan.” The report added, “The pattern of violence on May 9, 2023 suggests that these people were following a carefully crafted strategy in attacking specific targets, including military installations. An examination of call logs shows that these calls were made by certain PTI leaders to the rioters attacking the Jinnah House. A day earlier, the same PTI leaders made multiple calls to the same rioters on May 8, 2023, establishing very close coordination between the PTI leaders and rioters. Many of the culprits who were subsequently arrested, confessed during interrogation to have received instructions from the party leaders to cause violence and mayhem and attack specific targets such as the residence of Corps Commander, Lahore.” Imran Khan, however, termed May 9 a false flag operation. He also demanded the setting up of a judicial commission to probe the May 9 attacks.Fiscal Third Quarter and Nine-Months Ended October 31, 2024 GAAP Financial Results The following financial results have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP”). Total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was $4.4 million compared to $6.1 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. For the nine months ended October 31, 2024, revenue totaled $13.2 million compared to $17.2 million during the same period in fiscal 2023. The change in total revenue was attributable to previously announced client non-renewals offset by successful implementation of new SaaS contracts. SaaS revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 totaled $2.9 million, 66% of total revenue, compared to SaaS revenue of $3.9 million, 64% of total revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. For the nine months ended October 31, 2024, SaaS revenue totaled $8.7 million, 66% of total revenue, compared to $10.6 million, 62% of total revenue, during the same period of fiscal 2023. As previously reported, the Company had a SaaS contract which did not renew at the end of its 2023 fiscal year. Net loss for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 totaled ($2.5 million) compared to a net loss of ($11.9 million) during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. For the nine months ended October 31, 2024 net loss totaled ($8.0 million) compared to a net loss of ($17.3 million) during the 2023 period. The third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2023 included $10.8 million of impairment expenses offset by a $1.2 million and $1.9 million gain, respectively, from valuation adjustments which did not recur during the same periods in fiscal 2024. Net loss during the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024 reflected lower total revenues and higher interest expense offset by reductions in cost of sales, SG&A and R&D expense of $1.9 million and $5.3 million, respectively, primarily due to the Company's strategic restructuring at the end of fiscal 2023. Cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2024, were $0.8 million compared to $3.2 million as of January 31, 2024. The Company had no outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility as of October 31, 2024, compared to $1.5 million as of January 31, 2024. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on November 13, 2024, the Company and its principal lender amended certain financial covenants related to the Company's senior term loan and revolving line of credit, which are described in more detail in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 2024. On November 20, 2024, the Company received a $1.0 million draw from its revolving line of credit. Fiscal Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended October 31, 2024 Non-GAAP Financial Results Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 was a loss of ($0.3 million) compared to $0.4 million during the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended October 31, 2024, was a loss of ($1.3 million) compared to a loss of ($1.8 million) during the same period in fiscal 2023. The change in adjusted EBITDA reflects lower total revenue as a result of the previously announced client non-renewals, offset by significant cost savings achieved through the previously announced strategic restructuring. As of October 31, 2024, the Company's total Booked SaaS Annual Contract Value ("ACV”) was $14.1 million compared to $15.0 million as of January 31, 2024. $12.0 million of the Booked SaaS ACV was implemented as of October 31, 2024, compared to $11.1 million as of January 31, 2024. Booked SaaS ACV represents the annualized value of all executed SaaS contracts, including contracts that have not been fully implemented as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the twelve months following the measurement date is renewed on its existing terms unless the Company has knowledge of the non-renewal. The Company reiterated that it believes its adjusted EBITDA breakeven run rate is $15.5 million of implemented SaaS ARR and expects to achieve this run rate during the first half of fiscal 2025. Due to the continued unpredictability of timing related to the closing of new contracts, the Company has not provided more specific guidance related to the timing of bookings. Management Commentary "During the quarter we expanded existing relationships through our new eValuator quality module, completed implementation for key accounts, including our first enterprise clients and added new logo wins. The resulting momentum has led us to accelerate our expected Adjusted EBITDA breakeven timeline,” stated Ben Stilwill, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "The Streamline team is focused on expanding our client footprint, maintaining a high caliber of client service, improving our solutions and progressing our financial goals and our mission to ensure our nation's health systems are paid for all of the care they provide.” Conference Call The Company will conduct a conference call on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, at 9:00 AM ET to review results and provide a corporate update.

For more information, visit www.streamlinehealth.net . Non-GAAP Financial Measures Streamline reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP”). Streamline's management also evaluates and makes operating decisions using various other measures. One such measure is adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Streamline's management believes that this measure provides useful supplemental information regarding the performance of Streamline's business operations. Streamline defines "adjusted EBITDA” as net earnings (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation expense, valuation adjustments, restructuring charges, transaction related expenses and other expenses that do not relate to our core operations such as severance and impairment charges. A table reconciling this measure to "net loss,” to the extent relevant items were recognized in the periods covered, is included in this press release. Booked SaaS ACV represents the annualized value of all executed SaaS contracts, including contracts that have not been fully implemented, as of the measurement date, assuming any contract that expires during the twelve months following the measurement date is renewed on its existing terms unless the Company has knowledge of the non-renewal. Booked SaaS ACV should be viewed independently of revenue and does not represent revenue calculated in accordance with GAAP on an annualized basis, as it is an operating metric that can be impacted by contract execution start and end dates and renewal rates. Booked SaaS ACV is not intended to be a replacement for, or forecast of, revenue. There is no GAAP measure comparable to Booked SaaS ACV.

The 10 costliest climate disasters in 2024 racked up damage totalling more than 200 billion US dollars, Christian Aid has warned. A report from the charity on hurricanes, floods, typhoons and storms influenced by climate change warns that the top 10 disasters each cost more than 4 billion US dollars in damage (£3.2 billion). The figures are based mostly on insured losses, so the true costs are likely to be even higher, Christian Aid said, as it called for action to cut greenhouse gas emissions and finance for poor countries to cope with climate change. Politicians who “downplay the urgency of the climate crisis only serve to harm their own people and cause untold suffering around the world”, climate expert Joanna Haigh said. While developed countries feature heavily in the list of costliest weather extremes, as they have higher property values and can afford insurance, the charity also highlighted another 10 disasters which did not rack up such costs but were just as devastating, often hitting poorer countries. The single most costly event in 2024 was Hurricane Milton, which scientists say was made windier, wetter and more destructive by global warming, and which caused 60 billion US dollars (£48 billion) of damage when it hit the US in October. That is closely followed by Hurricane Helene, which cost 55 billion US dollars (£44 billion) when it hit the US, Mexico and Cuba just two weeks before Milton in late September. The US was hit by so many costly storms throughout the year that even when hurricanes are removed, other storms cost more than 60 billion US dollars in damage, the report said. Three of the costliest 10 climate extremes hit Europe, including the floods from Storm Boris which devastated central European countries in September and deadly flooding in Valencia in October which killed 226 people. Events which were not among the most costly in financial terms but which have still been devastating include Cyclone Chido which hit Mayotte in December and may have killed more than 1,000 people, Christian Aid said. Meanwhile, heatwaves affected 33 million people in Bangladesh and worsened the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, flooding affected 6.6 million people in West Africa and the worst drought in living memory affected more than 14 million in Zambia, Malawi, Namibia and Zimbabwe, the charity said. Christian Aid chief executive Patrick Watt said: “There is nothing natural about the growing severity and frequency of droughts, floods and storms. “Disasters are being supercharged by decisions to keep burning fossil fuels, and to allow emissions to rise. “And they’re being made worse by the consistent failure to deliver on financial commitments to the poorest and most climate-vulnerable countries. “In 2025 we need to see governments leading, and taking action to accelerate the green transition, reduce emissions, and fund their promises.” “There are many more droughts, heatwaves, wildfires and floods not included that are becoming more frequent and intense. “Most of these disasters show clear fingerprints of climate change. “Extreme weather is clearly causing incredible suffering in all corners of the world. Behind the billion-dollar figures are lost lives and livelihoods.” And Prof Haigh, emeritus professor of atmospheric physics at Imperial College London, said: “The economic impact of these extreme weather events should be a wake-up call. “The good news is that ever-worsening crises doesn’t have to be our long-term future. “The technologies of a clean energy economy exist, but we need leaders to invest in them and roll them out at scale.” The 10 costliest climate disasters of 2024 were: – US storms, December to January, more than 60 billion US dollars; – Hurricane Milton in the US, October 9-13, 60 billion US dollars (£48 billion); – Hurricane Helene in the US, Mexico, Cuba, 55 billion US dollars (£44 billion); – China floods, June 9-July 14, 15.6 billion US dollars (£12.4 billion); – Typhoon Yagi, which hit south-west Asia from September 1 to 9, 12.6 billion US dollars (£10 billion); – Hurricane Beryl, in the US, Mexico and Caribbean islands from July 1-11, 6.7 billion US dollars (£5.3 billion); – Storm Boris in central Europe, September 12-16, 5.2 billion US dollars (£4.1 billion); – Rio Grande do Sul floods in Brazil, April 28-May 3, 5 billion US dollars (£4 billion); – Bavaria floods, Germany, June 1-7, 4.45 billion US dollars (£3.5 billion); – Valencia floods, Spain, on October 29, 4.22 billion US dollars (£3.4 billion).

Patrick Mahomes: Bryce Young 'Played His Tail Off' in Chiefs Win vs. Panthers

This story has been updated with new information. MARCY — The holiday season is suddenly a lot less joyful for dozens of employees at Semikron-Danfoss, after they were told they were being laid off late last week. In response to North American automobile manufacturers’ decreased electric vehicle production, Semikron-Danfoss has announced it will reduce its workforce by about 23 percent by the end of the year. Approximately 50 employees from its workforce of 220 full-time employees and contractors will be laid off. “We are deeply disappointed by the sudden downturn in demand for our product and the electric vehicle sector as a whole,” said General Manager Michael Godsen. “We recognize this a tough time for our employees and are doing everything we can to support them during this transition.” Danfoss began production at the SUNY Poly campus in 2017 with a staff of just 17. The company saw significant growth in 2022 and 2023. In 2023 Danfoss entered into a joint venture with the German-based Semikron. Semikron-Danfoss is a semiconductor chip packaging company that produces traction control, power modules for electric vehicles. Shawna Papale, president of Mohawk Valley EDGE, a not-for-profit regional economic development organization based in Rome, is looking forward to better times for Semikron-Danfoss. “I think we are disappointed, especially at this time of year,” she said. “But I am staying optimistic that we will eventually see the EV market turn around.” Papale noted the United States has fallen behind on electric vehicle production, but she hopes that will change over the long term. Semikron-Danfoss’ power electronics technology products include semiconductor devices, power modules and power electronic stacks. She hopes Mohawk Valley EDGE can reach out to both Semikron-Danfoss and its employees. “I am hoping we will be able to work with them to help them stabilize and get people back,” Papale said. Semikron-Danfoss offers hands-on educational opportunities for students in addition to its manufacturing. “We are saddened to hear about the layoffs at Semikron-Danfoss and extend our heartfelt support to the employees and their families affected by this difficult situation,” said Wayne Westervelt, SUNY Poly’s chief of staff and vice president for external relations. Westervelt said the company remains a valued industry partner of SUNY Poly. “While we recognize the challenges faced by the electric vehicle industry as a whole, SUNY Poly remains committed to Danfoss, their automotive power module production, and their impact on the broader advanced manufacturing ecosystem in the Mohawk Valley and beyond,” he said. Impacted employees will be provided transition support services from the state and through outside organizations from Semikron-Danfoss to aid in finding new employment and support. “It has certainly been a challenging year, but we believe in the further electrification of the automotive market and are committed to continuing production here in Utica, New York,” Godsen added. “We aim to maintain our footprint here and be prepared for future growth when the market returns.” Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente did not immediately respond for comment. Several Semikron-Danfoss employees identified through Facebook were messaged for this story but also did not immediately respond with comments of their own.Share this Story : TAKEAWAYS: Ottawa Senators get goalie boost from Leevi Merilainen and tame Wild Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Breadcrumb Trail Links Ottawa Senators Sports Hockey NHL TAKEAWAYS: Ottawa Senators get goalie boost from Leevi Merilainen and tame Wild Author of the article: Tim Baines Published Dec 29, 2024 • Last updated 2 minutes ago • 3 minute read Join the conversation You can save this article by registering for free here .

Activate your Online Access Now Article content “(He was) solid,” Senators coach Travis Green told TSN 1200’s Gord Wilson. “I liked his game. He looked in control, he looked composed. Anytime you win on the road against a team like this, you’re going to have to make some saves down the stretch.” The luck? The Wild hit three goalposts and a crossbar. If any of those had gone in, it could have changed the tone of the game. But Merilainen came up big when he had to. “There were five or six (off the posts) ... you don’t have to save those,” Merilainen said. The Senators don’t know when they’ll get starting goalie Linus Ullmark, who hasn’t played since his back tightened up a week ago, back in the lineup. The Wild were without star winger Kirill Kaprizov, who sat out with a lower-body injury. With 50 points in 34 games, he’s tied with Mitch Marner for sixth in the NHL scoring race, two points behind Connor McDavid. It was a very good effort from the Senators. “We played with purpose in our game,” Green said. “We didn’t deviate from the game, even when we were down 1-0.” Minnesota opened the scoring when a shot by defenceman Declan Chisholm was deflected into the net by Frederick Gaudreau with 2:41 left in the first period.

Article content The Senators came out flying in the second period, firing 10 shots in the goal in the first five minutes. The hard work paid off. The Senators tied it 1:47 into the second period when Ridly Greig, parked just to the right of Minnesota goalie Filip Gustavsson, jammed the puck into the open side after a favourable bounce off the end boards. The Wild hit two goalposts during a power play near the mid-point of the period. Near the mid-point of the third, Merilainen made a big pad save with the Wild on a 2-on-1 while short-handed after a tripping penalty to Zach Bogosian. With the Wild penalized again, a one-timer by Josh Norris gave Ottawa a 2-1 lead with 7:18 left. An empty-net goal by Claude Giroux with 44 seconds left sealed the deal. BLURRED LINES Senators coach Travis Green threw his lines in a blender to start Sunday’s game. And, he sat defenceman Jacob Bernard-Docker. Adam Gaudette was elevated from the fourth line to play on a line with Drake Batherson and Tim Stutzle. Captain Brady Tkachuk played alongside Ridly Greig and centre Shane Pinto. Josh Norris was at centre between Nick Cousins and Claude Giroux. Zack Ostapchuk played between Cole Reinhardt and Noah Gregor.

Article content Nikolas Mantinpolo replaced Bernard-Docker in the third defence pairing, alongside Tyler Kleven. “We shuffled the deck a bit,” Green said. “We wanted to get some balance throughout our lineup. We felt comfortable playing all four lines. Gauds did a good job with Timmy and Drake.” A ROAD WELL-TRAVELLED The Senators are now six games into their lengthy nine-game road swing that takes them into January. After opening with three wins, the Senators lost two before winning Sunday. Still to go: Games in Dallas (Jan. 2), St. Louis (Jan. 3) and Detroit (Jan. 7). Ottawa’s next home game is Jan. 9 vs. Buffalo. tbaines@postmedia.com X: @TimCBaines Article content Share this article in your social network Share this Story : TAKEAWAYS: Ottawa Senators get goalie boost from Leevi Merilainen and tame Wild Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Comments You must be logged in to join the discussion or read more comments.
