777 hand Agreement comes as Canada works to strengthen nuclear partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region CANADIAN NUCLEAR LABORATORIES AND CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORPORATION SIGN LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING TO COOPERATE ON GLOBAL EXPANSION OF NUCLEAR ENERGY CNL Vice-President of Corporate Affairs, Lou Riccoboni, and CCC Vice-President of Business Development and Marketing, Kim Douglas, celebrate the signing of a Letter of Understanding in Manilla as part of a Team Canada Trade Mission to Indonesia and the Philippines Under the agreement, CNL and CCC will leverage their respective strengths to pursue international market access and export opportunities, through activities that include the promotion of Canadian nuclear expertise, technologies, and solutions in international markets; upholding the highest levels of safety, security and non-proliferation; the sourcing of critical components, technologies and services from qualified Canadian companies; and the exportation of CNL's technologies and intellectual property. The work may also encompass knowledge transfer and capacity building activities, given CCC's expertise in international markets, government-to-government contracting, and the export of Canadian nuclear technologies and related services. "On behalf of everyone at CNL, I want to express our collective gratitude and excitement at this agreement with CCC, an organization that shares our vision for the growth and expansion of Canadian science, technology and expertise internationally,” commented Lou Riccoboni, CNL's Vice-President of Corporate Affairs and Business Development. "CNL and AECL have a long history of exporting nuclear solutions to our friends and allies abroad, including nuclear energy and medical isotopes. With the challenges posed by climate change and energy insecurity, we are pleased to see the resurgence in nuclear energy unfolding and want to do our part to help emerging nuclear nations pursue economic development, reduce emissions, and advance innovative technologies through the safe and responsible use of nuclear science and technology.” "Canada is a global leader in nuclear science and technology, with a long history of providing emissions-free, low-cost energy solutions as well as enabling medical applications, such as cancer treatment,” said Kim Douglas, CCC's Vice-President of Business Development and Marketing. "Governments are increasingly turning to Canada to explore adoption or expansion of nuclear investments, and CCC aims to support these governments with their energy transition plans through our government-to-government contracting model. This is opening opportunities for Canadian companies in the nuclear supply chain. CCC looks forward to our collaboration with CNL as we endeavor to export Canadian nuclear solutions to the Indo-Pacific and beyond.” "Canada is a tier 1 nuclear country, recognized globally for its expertise and capabilities. This agreement highlights Canada's commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in the global nuclear sector,” commented Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development of Canada. "We're not only advancing clean and reliable energy solutions, but also strengthening Canada's global reputation as a responsible leader in the nuclear sector and our long-term commitment to the Indo-Pacific region. Together, we're paving the way for a net-zero future, while creating new opportunities for Canadian businesses to grow and thrive on the international stage.” The agreement comes on the heels of November's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' Summit in Lima, Peru, where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Canada's vision to strengthen nuclear partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region through the Canadian Trade Gateway for Nuclear Development. In support of that vision, CNL joined a Team Canada Trade Mission to Indonesia and the Philippines in December designed to help Canadian exporters and innovators showcase their capabilities to facilitate long-term trade and investment opportunities. According to Global Affairs Canada, the Indo-Pacific is Canada's second-largest export market, after the United States, with annual two-way merchandise trade valued at $257 billion in 2023. The Canadian Trade Gateway for Nuclear Development is designed to help strengthen Canada's nuclear partnerships in the region, develop local expertise and facilitate knowledge sharing in the nuclear sector. It will also identify opportunities for Canada's industry to meet regional needs, including through round tables, symposiums and other engagement events. The gateway also aims to increase opportunities for Canadian businesses working in the nuclear industry to grow their engagement in the region, creating good, well-paying jobs, while strengthening commercial and investment ties between the economies of Canada and Indo-Pacific countries.

Jitta Wealth promotes US stocks for the coming yearBrisbane news live: Dutton says he would not use Indigenous flags as PM

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Cornerback Taron Johnson is still agitated over the dud the Buffalo Bills defense produced in giving up season worsts in points and yards, while melting down on third down in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams last weekend. There’s no better time or opportunity to show how much better they are than this Sunday. That’s when the Bills (10-3) travel to play the NFC-leading Detroit Lions (12-1), who just happen to lead the NFL in scoring and feature the same dynamic style of offense as the Rams. “I think our mindset is just going to be attack,” Johnson said after practice Wednesday. “We can’t wait to play Sunday just to prove people wrong and prove to ourselves that how we played wasn’t who we are.” The Bills acknowledge having several excuses to lean on for why they unraveled in a 44-42 loss — riding a little too high after a division-clinching win, a cross-country trip and facing a more driven opponent in the thick of a playoff race. What’s unacceptable is the hesitancy their usually reliable defensive backs showed in coverage and the lack of pressure applied by their defensive front. The bright side is the substandard performance potentially serving as a late-season reminder of this not being the time to let their foot off the gas. “A lot of teams have scars on their way to having a darn good season. And we’re having a darn good season,” coach Sean McDermott said. “So what has to be in front of us this week is the opportunity that’s in front of us, quite frankly, to challenge that team,” he added, referring to Detroit. “You better bring your heart, you better bring your guts, you better put it on the line.” With a little bit of added fire, the Bills are going back to the basics on defense following an outing in which very little went right. The defense was off-balance from the start in being unable to stop the run, before eventually being picked apart in the passing game while allowing the Rams to score on each of their first six drives (not including a kneel-down to close the first half) in building a 38-21 lead. The most frustrating part was Buffalo’s inability to get off the field while allowing the Rams to convert 11 of 15 third-down chances. LA’s 73.3% third-down conversion rate was the third highest against Buffalo — and worst since Miami converted 75% of its chances in 1986 — since the stat was introduced to NFL gamebooks in 1973. “The recipe to lose a football game is what we did (Sunday) and it starts with me, first and foremost,” defensive coordinator Bobby Babich said Monday. “Move on and let it not happen again. Let it be a learning lesson. Failure is the best teacher.” The challenge is preparing for an exceptionally balanced Lions offense that ranks fourth in the NFL in both rushing and passing, and averaging 32.1 points per outing. The objective, McDermott said, is to not overcorrect but stick to the fundamentals that led to Buffalo winning seven straight before losing to Los Angeles. He placed an emphasis on winning at the line of scrimmage and forcing takeaways, something Buffalo failed to do last weekend for the first time this season. A little more urgency, would help, too. “It is a mentality. It is an attitude, and if you want to play good defense, that’s where it starts,” McDermott said. “There’s not a lot of shortcuts or ways around it. It’s got to be a mentality.” The message resonated even on offense, where quarterback Josh Allen nearly rallied the Bills to victory while becoming the NFL’s first player to throw three touchdown passes and rush for three more scores. “It was a case of you saw a team that’s fighting for their lives to try to make the playoffs in the Los Angeles Rams, and they came out ready to play. And maybe we didn’t have that type of urgency,” Allen said. “It forces us to know that we’ve got to be better. We know that.” NOTES: LB Baylon Spector (calf) and DE Dawuane Smoot (wrist) returned to practice Wednesday, opening their 21-day windows to be activated off IR. ... Starting CB Rasul Douglas did not practice and could miss time after hurting his knee on Sunday. ... Buffalo has until this weekend to determine whether to activate OL Tylan Grable (groin) off IR.

(TNS) — The Pentagon has shipped anti-drone technology to an area of New Jersey located where sightings of mysterious aircraft have set residents on edge and drawn accusations that the federal government isn’t taking the incidents seriously. The Defense Department provided equipment capable of detecting drones and disabling them, Pentagon spokesman Major General Pat Ryder said at a briefing on Thursday. He added that the equipment includes a system called DroneBuster, a hand-held jammer used by the Army and Marines. “The majority of that capability has deployed, the rest should be arriving very shortly, if not imminently,” Ryder said. He had said earlier that much of the equipment would be sent to Picatinny Arsenal, a military research and production facility in Morris County. Ryder has said the government had no involvement in the drone flights, which have confounded officials in New York and New Jersey and prompted arguments that the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough or taking the matter seriously. Most of the aircraft, he has said, are most likely commercial or hobbyist drones. On Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration temporarily banned drone flights over nearly two dozen areas of New Jersey. The reports reports include nighttime sightings of drones as large as 6 feet (1.83 meters) in diameter that “operate in a coordinated manner” and travel with their lights switched off, Dawn Fantasia, a New Jersey assemblywoman, posted to X last week after being briefed by local law enforcement. Witnesses have said they’ve seen several low-hanging drones at once in the night sky, some of which hover in one spot. President-elect Donald Trump has called for the government to provide answers or shoot the drones down. He’s said, without citing evidence, that the American military knew where the devices originated. More than 1 million drones are registered to fly in the U.S., with around 8,500 in flight on any given day, a vast majority of which are recreational or hobbyist used for architectural, engineering, farming or law enforcement purposes, according to Ryder. ©Bitcoin’s BTC/USD sell-off on Friday saw prices dip below $93,000, but Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan argues that the current pullback is a “hiccup” rather than a trend reversal. Hougan sees strong underlying factors including regulatory tailwinds , institutional adoption and Bitcoin purchases by governments as structurally bullish factors for Bitcoin. Crypto’s Turbulent Friday Trading Session The cryptocurrency market experienced a volatile session Friday, triggered by the Federal Reserve’s decision to lower its anticipated rate cuts for the coming year. Bitcoin plummeted from a high of $108,135 to below $92,805, before rebounding slightly, currently trading around $96,950, down 1.2% on the day. Ethereum ETH/USD also traded down by 1% to $3,430. This sharp decline mirrored a broader pullback in risk assets , with the S&P 500 dropping 3% and the Russell 2000 Small Cap Index falling 4.4% following the Fed announcement. The Fed’s move, while expected in terms of a 25 basis point rate cut , surprised markets with its reduced forecast for future cuts. It is now projecting only two in 2025, down from four. Also Read: Rattled ‘Hawk Tuah Girl’ Haliey Welch Resurfaces After Meme Coin Scandal: ‘I Take This Situation Extremely Seriously’ The Fed Matters For Crypto — But Other Factors Matter More Potentially higher interest rates traditionally pressure risk assets, and this announcement initiated an initial sell-off across the board, Matt Hougan noted in a social media thread earlier in the day. However, he emphasized that leverage within the crypto market acted as a significant catalyst for the deeper-than-expected decline. Hougan maintains that the broader bull market trend remains intact — $1.38 billion of liquidated positions in 24 hours notwithstanding. He claims the Fed is less impactful to the sector than in previous years, and the industry has gained significant internal momentum due to several fundamental shifts. He points to several key factors supporting the bullish thesis: An imminent pro-crypto regulatory shift in Washington, see Trump’s appointment of a ‘ crypto czar .’ Increasing institutional involvement and ETF flows, such as record-breaking spot ETF flows . Bitcoin acquisitions by governments and corporations — even a strategic Bitcoin reserve may be on the table. Major technological advancements in the programmable blockchain sector ( tokenization anyone ?). In a series of tweets , Hougan also highlighted that Bitcoin’s 10-day exponential moving average (approximately $102,000) remains above its 20-day exponential moving average (around $99,000), which is a traditional bullish indicator for him. This technical measure has historically been a reliable gauge of market trends and suggests the medium term trend for Bitcoin, despite the volatility, is still positive. What Technical Indicators Are Saying According to James Toledano , Chief Operating Officer at Unity Wallet , “Profit taking is definitely at play here, with Bitcoin trading volume rising 24% in the last day and Bitcoin ETF outflows hitting a record $672M in 1 day.” This shows recent price volatility is not solely attributable to external influences, but internal to the market as well. “Many people who invested earlier in the year will have doubled their money and those who invested years ago, made more than they ever dreamt possible,” he told Benzinga. Toledano also noted that whilst Bitcoin trading volume is skewed towards selling, altcoins have been subject to significant trading activity. Ethereum trading volume is up 45% over 24 hours, with 70% of that buying activity. XRP XRP/USD , currently up 1% on the day and recovering from a 20% drop earlier in the day, is seeing a similar volume pattern. BNB BNB/USD is also up 1.3% at $670. However, Dogecoin DOGE/USD is down 1% and Shiba Inu SHIB/USD down about 5% , hile SUI SUI/USD is up 7% at press time. While reduced liquidity in the upcoming holiday period could lead to increased volatility, Toledano added, the absence of major institutional activity may stabilize prices. He also pointed out that, based on historic trends, there is no clear pattern at this time of the year. Read Next: Are MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Purchases On Hold In January?
