Nor-Shipping 2025 Thought Leader interview – Jan Ole Huseby, Head of Global Ocean Industries, DNB
WASHINGTON — Walmart, the world's largest retailer , has started giving associates body cameras to wear as part of a pilot program at a few of its U.S. locations. A person familiar with the program said that these body cameras are specifically for the safety of employees and not designed for anti-theft measures. It's not clear how many stores are part of the program, but the company confirmed its being tested in just one market right now. Fox Business reports the pilot involves multiple stores in Denton, Texas, about 40 miles from Dallas, which have reportedly posted signage letting customers know body cameras are being used. A shopper in Denton also shared a photo with CNBC that showed an associate checking receipts while wearing a yellow and black body camera earlier this month. "While we don’t talk about the specifics of our security measures, we are always looking at new and innovative technology used across the retail industry," Walmart said in a statement on Tuesday. "This is a pilot we are testing in one market, and we will evaluate the results before making any longer-term decisions." A photo reportedly of Walmart body cameras in charging bays was posted on Reddit last month . The photo included instructions for how to use the camera to record "an event if an interaction with a customer is escalating." While Walmart's body camera pilot program is focused on employee safety, it comes after another national retailer rolled out body cameras to help curb shoplifting. TJ Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods stores started having their stores' unarmed security guards wear body cameras late last year, parent company TJX revealed in an earnings call back in May . A company spokesperson said at the time that they hoped the body cameras would help de-escalate incidents, deter crime and demonstrate to our employees and customers that they take safety in stores seriously.
Indigenized Energy Names Lorilee J. Morsette as Chief Operating OfficerUS President-elect Donald Trump has sided with key supporter and billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk in a public dispute over the use of the H-1B visa, saying he fully backs the program for foreign tech workers opposed by some of his supporters. or signup to continue reading Trump's remarks followed a series of social media posts from Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, who vowed to go to "war" to defend the visa program for foreign tech workers. Trump, who moved to limit the visas' use during his first presidency, told The New York Post on Saturday he was likewise in favour of the visa program. "I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program," he was quoted as saying. Musk, a naturalised US citizen born in South Africa, has held an H-1B visa, and his electric-car company Tesla obtained 724 of the visas this year. H-1B visas are typically for three-year periods, though holders can extend them or apply for green cards. The altercation was set off earlier this week by far-right activists who criticised Trump's selection of Sriram Krishnan, an Indian American venture capitalist, to be an adviser on artificial intelligence, saying he would have influence on the Trump administration's immigration policies. Musk's tweet was directed at Trump's supporters and immigration hard-liners who have increasingly pushed for the H-1B visa program to be scrapped amid a heated debate over immigration and the place of skilled immigrants and foreign workers brought into the country on work visas. On Friday, Steve Bannon, a longtime Trump confidante, critiqued "big tech oligarchs" for supporting the H-1B program and cast immigration as a threat to Western civilisation. In response, Musk and many other tech billionaires drew a line between what they view as legal immigration and illegal immigration. Trump has promised to deport all immigrants who are in the US illegally, deploy tariffs to help create more jobs for American citizens and severely restrict immigration. The visa issue highlights how tech leaders like Musk -- who has taken an important role in the presidential transition, advising on key personnel and policy areas -- are now drawing scrutiny from his base. The US tech industry relies on the government's H-1B visa program to hire foreign skilled workers to help run its companies, a labour force that critics say undercuts wages for American citizens. Musk has spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping Trump get elected in November. He has posted regularly this week about the lack of homegrown talent to fill all the needed positions within American tech companies. DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

A wild melee has erupted on the field after the Michigan vs Ohio State college football game.
The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is still fresh in our minds, but the rumor mill is already churning out exciting whispers about its successor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Expected to launch in early 2025, the S25 Ultra promises to be a powerhouse of innovation, pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology. From a groundbreaking new camera system to a sleeker design and enhanced performance, the leaks paint a picture of a device that could redefine the flagship experience. Let’s dive deep into the key rumored features and upgrades that are generating all this buzz. While Samsung remains tight-lipped about the S25 Ultra, reliable leakers and industry insiders have been dropping tantalizing hints. These leaks, combined with Samsung’s recent trends and technological advancements , give us a pretty good idea of what to expect. Why the intense interest? The Galaxy S series is consistently a top contender in the Android world, and the Ultra variant represents the pinnacle of Samsung’s smartphone engineering. People are eager to see how Samsung will top itself this time around. Camera: A Revolution in Resolution? Perhaps the most exciting rumors revolve around the S25 Ultra’s camera system. Word on the street is that Samsung is developing a 200MP primary sensor with a mind-blowing 4.6μm pixel size, dwarfing even the impressive 108MP sensor on the S23 Ultra. This massive sensor could capture unprecedented levels of detail and deliver exceptional low-light performance. Design: Slimmer Bezels, Brighter Display The S25 Ultra is expected to sport a refined design with even slimmer bezels , maximizing the screen-to-body ratio for a more immersive viewing experience. Performance: Snapdragon Powerhouse The S25 Ultra is likely to be powered by the yet-to-be-released Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, Qualcomm’s next-generation flagship chip. This should translate to a significant boost in performance, making the phone incredibly fast and responsive. Battery and Charging: Faster and Longer Lasting? Battery life is always a key concern, and Samsung is rumored to be addressing this with a larger 5500mAh battery in the S25 Ultra. This, combined with the power efficiency of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, could result in exceptional battery life. Software: One UI 6.0 Based on Android 14 The S25 Ultra will likely ship with the latest version of Samsung’s One UI, based on Android 14. This means users can expect a refined user interface with new features and improvements. Other Potential Upgrades My Thoughts and Expectations Having used Samsung phones for years, I’m particularly excited about the rumored camera upgrades. The prospect of a 200MP sensor and improved zoom capabilities is truly enticing. I’m also hoping to see significant improvements in battery life, as that’s always been an area where Samsung can improve. While I’m a bit skeptical about the under-display camera being truly invisible at this stage, it’s definitely a technology I’m eager to see mature. It’s important to remember that these are just rumors, and Samsung might surprise us with unexpected features or changes. However, based on the leaks and Samsung’s track record, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is shaping up to be a truly remarkable device. A New Era for Flagship Smartphones? The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has the potential to be a game-changer, pushing the boundaries of smartphone technology in multiple areas. With its rumored camera advancements, sleek design, powerful performance, and long-lasting battery, it could set a new standard for flagship devices. We’ll have to wait for the official announcement to know for sure, but the leaks and rumors have certainly set the stage for a very exciting launch.
TC Energy says early morning gas leak near Cornwall, Ont. resolvedWolves delay start vs. Spurs due to court issue
GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Matthew Downing threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead Elon to a 31-21 season-ending win over North Carolina A&T on Saturday. The game was tied at 7 in the second quarter when the Phoenix turned a fumble recovery into a field goal. That started a string of four-straight scoring possessions. Downing was 16 of 21 for 203 yards. Chandler Brayboy had 12 receptions for 118 yards with a score. Rushawn Baker ran for 106 yards for the Phoenix (6-6, 5-3 Coastal Athletic Association). Julian Bumper also had a 10-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry and Jamarien Dalton had a 30-yard receiving touchdown on his only catch. Freshman Cortez Lane returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown for the Aggies (1-11, 0-8), who lost their 11th straight. Justin Fomby threw for 190 yards and a touchdown pass to Daniel Cole and Shimique Blizzard ran for 87 yards and a TD.

Sign up for the AP’s college football newsletter: https://apnews.com/cfbtop25Canada thumped Trinidad and Tobago 38-0 to win the Rugby Americas North (RAN) Sevens on Sunday and qualify for World Rugby’s second-tier Challenger Series. The tournament-favourite Canadian men outscored their opposition 169-0 over five matches in a first step back up the rugby sevens ladder since being relegated from the elite HSBC SVNS circuit in June. The top four teams from the three-event Challenger Series will face off against the bottom four from the HSBC SVNS at the SVNS World Championships May 3-4 in Carson, Calif., in a promotion/relegation playoff. “I think it’s just about continually building,” said Canada captain Elias Hancock. “We know what we’re capable of. We’ve shown it at times. It’s just time to get back to that place where we know we belong.” Prior to relegation, Canada had been a core team on the top sevens circuit since 2012-13 and lifted the trophy in Singapore in 2017. The Canadian men finished eighth at the Tokyo Olympics. Trinidad had plenty of the ball in the first half of Sunday’s final at Larry Gomes Stadium. But Canada, helped by several penalties, scored first with Hancock touching down under the posts for a try converted by Thomas Isherwood. Matt Oworu, beating two defenders, added another converted try for a 14-0 lead at the break. Cooper Coats added a converted try early in the second half. And Hancock, Jack Shaw and Noah Bain added late tries after Trinidad lost a man to the sin-bin for two minutes midway through the second half for an infraction off a Canadian kickoff. Earlier Sunday, the Canadians defeated Jamaica 26-0 in semifinal play and the Cayman Islands 38-0 in the quarterfinal. Trinidad and Tobago made it to the final — for the first time since 2013 — with a 19-7 comeback win over Mexico. Jamaica defeated Mexico 12-0 to finish third. Weather was a factor during the three-day tournament in Arima, some 30 kilometres east of Port of Spain. After enduring 30-plus C heat and humidity Friday, their final Pool A game against Barbados was abandoned Saturday due to a storm. On Sunday, the Canadians played the Cayman Islands in a downpour and the skies opened again at halftime of the Jamaica game. Alex Russell, Josiah Morra, Coats and Hancock scored tries against Jamaica for Canada, which led 12-0 at the break. Thomas Isherwood added three conversions. Morra and Hancock each scored two tries against the Caymans and Ethan Hager and D’Shawn Bowen added singles for Canada, which led 19-0 at the half. Canada added four conversions. Canada, which blanked Guyana 29-0 Friday, dispatched Bermuda 38-0 Saturday and was leading Barbados 10-0 when the game was halted in the first half due to heavy rain and high winds. While play eventually resumed, the interrupted Canada game was ruled a scoreless draw. The Canadian men are coming off a disastrous 3-36-0 HSBC SVNS season that ended with a 22-14 loss to Spain with relegation on the line. It was a 29th straight defeat. After being relegated, coach Sean White’s team fell short in an Olympic repechage tournament in late June in Monaco, finishing fourth after losing 26-0 to eventual winner South Africa in the semifinals. The Blitzboks went on to claim bronze in Paris. The 13-man roster for the RAN 7s includes six players who were part of the relegation playoff in Madrid: Hancock, Isherwood, Morra, Coats, Oworu and David Richard. Morra, Coats and Oworu joined the sevens team from Bucharest where they were part of Kingsley Jones’ Canadian 15s squad for test matches against Chile and Romania. The Canadian men are scheduled to play in an invitational men’s sevens tournament taking place at B.C. Place Stadium alongside the HSBC SVNS Vancouver stop in February. The Canadian women left Sunday for Dubai and the opening stop of the 2005 HSBC SVNS season. The Olympic silver-medallist Canadians open play next Saturday against Japan before facing Brazil and Olympic champion New Zealand.

YOUNGLIMWON SOFTLAB To Showcase Low-Code Application Development Platform Flextudio At CES 2025Fans took to social media to air their disgust Viewers of I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here were left disgusted by tonight's gruesome eating challenge. N-Dubz star Tulisa and writer and the Reverend Richard Cole nominated themselves to take part in a Bushtucker trial to earn food for their campmates. Tulisa said: "I wanted a chance to redeem myself after the five star situation and this was it." Taking to social media, some fans said it was the "worst trial ever". Poor Tulisa had to eat a two whole huntsman spiders and fermented egg, while Rev Richard dined on cow's tongue and mice tails. Rev Richard described one dish as "death and then a volcano of death in your mouth". On X, a number of viewers were grossed out by tonight's trial. @DrCat1981 said: "Fair dos to Richard and Tulisa, that is one of the worst eating trials I’ve seen. The spiders, mice feet and tails, eugh I was heaving watching." @kevwgs agreed: "The size of the portions on the eating trials is ridiculous. Well done to Richard and Tulisa, that was the worst one I've ever watched. #ImACeleb." @donnygam3r said: "Them spiders looked awful, well done." @joannew0112 added: "That eating trial is horrific, hats of to both I would still be being sick now." Despite being given one of the "worst trials ever", Richard and Tulisa did a great job, taking home 11 out of 11 stars for camp. This meant everyone could have a decent dinner that evening. Since Thursday, viewers are no longer voting for which celebs they want to see take part in the Bushtucker trials but instead are now voting for their favourite campmates. Celebs who receive the fewest votes will face eliminations. In Friday night's episode of I'm A Celeb, Loose Women star Jane Moore was the first campmate to exit the competition. Now only 11 celebs remain to compete for the ultimate title of Queen or King of the Jungle. Hosts Ant and Dec said there will be no elimination on Saturday night's episode of I'm A Celeb.

Ireland defender Dara O’Shea says he relishes the big stages as he hailed his Ipswich Town side for coming from behind to earn a point against Manchester United. The Dubliner has been a mainstay in Kieran McKenna’s side since arriving from Burnley last summer, and after the Tractor Boys’ run of three successive defeats last month, they are now unbeaten in their last three after this evening’s home draw against United, in what was also Ruben Amorim’s first game in charge. This is the 25-year-old’s third season as a Premier League player after previous campaigns with Burnley and West Brom, as he opened up on how much he enjoys taking on the best players in the country. “I’ve played in the Premier League before, it’s not something that fazes me,” he told the East Anglian Daily Times. “I relish playing against the big teams and the big players because you get to see where you’re at, show them how good you are and prove to yourself how good you are too. That’s the main thing. Ipswich Town's Dara O'Shea during the Premier League match at Portman Road, Ipswich “It’s disappointing not to get the win when we felt it was there for us today, but it was also a good point to build on that win against Spurs. All in all, it was a positive day for us. “Their goal was a bit of a shock to us (two minutes in). It was a break in play. We can definitely deal with it better, but how we reacted after that was really promising and shows what we’re about. “We didn’t let it dictate the game because it was so early on, which is big for us. The second-half was a bit of a graft too.” O’Shea also praised Fermanagh man McKenna for how he set up his Ipswich side against a United outfit who were playing under their new manager for the first time, after Erik ten Hag's departure last month. “A point in the Premier League is always a good point no matter who you’re playing, especially against United with a new manager who we didn’t know a whole lot about,” O’Shea continued, with Ireland attacker Sammie Szmodics also starting for Ipswich. “We didn’t know what they were going to be like today. Obviously they played a different way to how they have played previously with their new manager, but the gaffer did really well this week. He got our tactics spot on and almost knew what they were going to do in a way. Manchester United's Marcus Rashford in action with Ipswich Town's Dara O'Shea “It was quite man-to-man on the pitch, so you had to win your individual battles. That’s what it was going to take. I think that’s part of our DNA and that’s going to be part of how we’re successful this season.” Elsewhere this evening, Ireland’s Caoimhín Kelleher started his fifth successive Premier League game for Liverpool, helping Arne Slot’s side to a dramatic 3-2 victory away at Southampton. With first choice Alisson still sidelined, the Corkman started again and saved a first-half penalty from Adam Armstrong, although the forward made no mistake with the rebound. Mohamed Salah’s late penalty sealed a third consecutive league win for the Reds to maintain their eight-point lead at the top of the league. Next up for Liverpool is a blockbuster Champions League clash at home to holders Real Madrid this Wednesday, with Kelleher in line to start again at Anfield as Alisson continues to recover from his hamstring injury.As the AI revolution accelerates, Nvidia and Alphabet emerge as dominant forces reshaping the tech landscape. While Nvidia has captured investors’ attention with spectacular growth, some suggest it might be wiser to consider Alphabet for your portfolio. Here’s why. Nvidia’s Impressive Surge Nvidia has experienced unprecedented growth, with revenues climbing to $113.3 billion over the past year, more than doubling its sales from two years ago. As a vital player in AI, particularly through its contributions to platforms like ChatGPT, Nvidia remains a favored choice for tech enthusiasts. Despite the stock trading at high ratios—54 times earnings—it has cooled since the summer of 2023, offering potentially better entry points for long-term investors. Alphabet: An Undervalued Contender In the shadow of Nvidia’s growth, Alphabet quietly demonstrates its strength. With revenue reaching $340 billion and a free cash flow of $55.8 billion in the past year, the company remains a powerhouse, even during the downturn in the online advertising sector. Investment in infrastructural expansion positions Alphabet for future success, and its stock currently offers more attractive valuation metrics: 26 times earnings and 7.1 times sales. Choosing Your Champion While Nvidia’s explosive growth appeals, it’s important to consider whether its stock price already reflects this success. On the other hand, Alphabet provides a balanced combination of robust performance and affordability, especially as the digital ad market recovers. For those seeking long-term stability and untapped growth potential, Alphabet presents a compelling investment case. Aim for diversified strength, and make your portfolio shine with the proven resilience of Alphabet. Why Investors Should Consider Alphabet Over Nvidia Amidst the AI Boom As artificial intelligence continues to reshape the technology sector, Nvidia and Alphabet (Google’s parent company) stand out as powerful contenders. While Nvidia draws significant attention with its remarkable growth trajectory, savvy investors might find a hidden gem in Alphabet. Here’s a deeper dive into why Alphabet deserves a closer look as part of a diversified investment strategy. Nvidia has undeniably positioned itself as a leader in the AI landscape, thanks to its cutting-edge contributions to platforms such as ChatGPT. This influence has propelled Nvidia to an astounding revenue of $113.3 billion over the last year, showcasing its impressive growth by more than doubling its sales from just two years prior. Investors should note, however, that Nvidia’s stocks have been trading at high valuations—54 times earnings. Despite cooling slightly since mid-2023, these high figures might suggest that the stock already mirrors its explosive progress, signaling investors to consider alternative options or rethink entry timings for long-term returns. Amidst Nvidia’s dazzling growth, Alphabet steadily fortifies its market stature with robust financial metrics. Its revenue of $340 billion and a free cash flow of $55.8 billion in the latest fiscal year underscores its persistent vigor. Notably, Alphabet’s revenue model proved resilient even amid a slump in the online advertising market. Alphabet’s strategic emphasis on infrastructure expansion poises it for future opportunities, potentially elevating its market footprint further. Contrary to Nvidia, Alphabet offers more alluring valuation metrics: trading at 26 times earnings and 7.1 times sales, suggesting an undervalued stock with significant room for appreciation as market conditions improve. Pros of Alphabet: – Superior Valuation Metrics: Provides investors with value-investing opportunities at 26 times earnings. – Strong Cash Flow: Enables reinvestment into fruitful ventures like AI and cloud infrastructure. – Potential Market Recovery: Positioned to capitalize on a rebound in digital ad spending. Cons of Alphabet: – Market Dependence: A heavy reliance on advertising revenue could affect stability during sector downturns. Pros of Nvidia: – AI Leadership: Prized for its pivotal role in AI technology deployment. – Revenue Growth: Demonstrated explosive topline growth, enticing growth-oriented investors. Cons of Nvidia: – High Valuation: Trading at lofty multiples could limit upside potential in the short term. – Volatility Concerns: Rapid growth and sector dependency might introduce market volatility. Navigating the tech-stock landscape requires evaluating both explosive growth opportunities and steady, reliable options within your portfolio. Nvidia’s allure is driven by its rapid progression in AI, yet its current market valuation might present stability risks. Meanwhile, Alphabet offers a solid blend of strong performance, attractive valuations, and positioned readiness to capture renewed ad market gains. For discerning investors in search of a balance between innovation and financial prudence, Alphabet stands out as a compelling choice. Prioritizing diverse strengths could lead to a portfolio fortified by the proven resilience and undervalued growth potential encapsulated in Alphabet.
