Why Leo and Aries Might Be the Zodiac's Power CoupleLOS ANGELES (AP) — Receiver Demarcus Robinson will not be suspended by the Los Angeles Rams this week after his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence. Robinson will be available to play when the Rams (5-6) visit the New Orleans Saints on Sunday, Rams coach Sean McVay said Wednesday. “I think he does understand the severity of this, and how lucky we were that nobody was injured,” McVay said. “I do believe that he's remorseful. We are going to let the legal process take place. The league has a process as well.” Robinson was arrested early Monday morning after California Highway Patrol officers observed a white Dodge sedan driving over 100 mph on the 101 freeway in the western San Fernando Valley, a few miles from the Rams’ training complex in Woodland Hills. The driver, who identified himself as Robinson, had “objective signs and symptoms of alcohol impairment,” the CHP said in a statement released to The Associated Press. Robinson spoke to the team and expressed remorse about his arrest, McVay and quarterback Matthew Stafford said. “I think it was a bad decision he made,” McVay said. “I don't think that makes him a bad person, and I do believe this is something that, with the words that he said, our guys will learn from it, and hopefully nobody is ever going to repeat something like this. Let it be a learning opportunity, and a fortunate outcome that nobody was injured.” Robinson has 26 receptions for 384 yards and a team-leading six touchdown catches while starting all 11 games in his second season with the Rams . He caught a TD pass in the Rams' 37-20 loss to Philadelphia several hours before his arrest. The nine-year NFL veteran has served as a capable No. 3 option for Stafford behind star receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Robinson spent his first six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, winning a Super Bowl ring in February 2020, and spent one year with Baltimore before joining the Rams last year. “Let this be a lesson to all of us,” Stafford said. “We're lucky with the result that came of it, to be honest with you, that nobody was hurt or injured. I know that D-Rob is a great person. I love being around him. Love him as a teammate. ... I'm just trying to support him, help him out any way I can.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL

Even with access to blockbuster obesity drugs, some people don't lose weightAlphabet's Google asked a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday (November 27, 2024) to throw out a jury verdict and a judge's order forcing it to revamp its app store Play. In its first detailed argument to the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Google said the trial judge made legal errors that unfairly benefited the plaintiff, "Fortnite" maker Epic Games. Requiring a "dramatic redesign" of Google Play and its mobile-device operating system Android will hurt app developers and consumers, Google said in its court filing. Also Read: Apple urges judge to end U.S. smartphone monopoly case Epic’s 2020 lawsuit accused Google of monopolizing how consumers access apps on Android devices and how they pay for transactions within apps. The Cary, North Carolina-based company persuaded a San Francisco jury last year that Google illegally stifled competition. Based on the jury's findings, U.S. District Judge James Donato ordered Google in October to let users download rival app stores within Play and make Play's app catalog available to those competitors, among other reforms. The order, which would bind Google for three years, is on hold pending review in the 9th Circuit. Google told the appeals court on Wednesday that a jury should never have heard Epic's lawsuit because it sought to enjoin Google's conduct, not collect damages. It said Donato unfairly allowed Epic to tell jurors that Google and Apple are not competitors for app distribution and in-app payments. The filing said Donato was wrong to issue an injunction affecting users and developers nationwide, not just Epic. Google said the order made Donato "a central planner responsible for product design." The 9th Circuit said it will hear oral arguments on Feb. 3, with a ruling expected later next year.

NoneDell Technologies who were slammed recently by one of Australia’s top reviewers of notebooks has seen their shares fell sharply after the US PC maker delivered a slump in revenues. Consumer revenue fell 18% to US$2B as the Company struggled to deliver new cutting-edge notebooks. Dell stock was down more than 11% in after-hours trading following the report having fallen 24.9% during the past six months. Revenue was hurt by a performance in the company’s client solutions group, which includes PCs and laptops, saw revenue fall 1% to $12.1B year-on-year in Looking ahead to the fourth quarter, Dell forecast revenue between $24 billion and $25 billion, missing the average analyst projection of $25.57 billion, according to LSEG data. Commenting on the report, Deutsche Bank analysts believe Dell’s weaker Q4 guide comes mainly due to delays in AI server sales and PC refresh activity. Nick Ross a leading reviewer of PC’s the owner of ‘High Performance Laptops web site, recently called for a boycott of Dell and Alienware claiming that the Companies actions “Almost killed him.” His comments kicked off a debate about how PR Companies are paid to milk exposure from tech writers and tech media sites in an effort to get a favourable review or story without any contribution “or very little” contribution to the originators of the content. And when they don’t like a story, or a negative review believe that ‘black banning” a media organisation’ actually works when in reality the pen is mightier than the sword as Dell is finding out after Ross called for a boycott of the big PC brand. The slump in Dell stock and the fall in consumer PC revenue follows the exit of Dells Alienware range from JB Hi Fi. Both Dell Technologies and HP are forecasting lower-than-expected earnings for the current quarter, due in part to lack of demand for AI notebooks which are being sold at a premium price. The shares of both companies have fallen on average 12%, while pacing what would be HP’s worst day in more than three years. Yesterday HP’s shares dipped to just over $34, putting the stock on track for its worst loss since March 2020, when shares fell by more than 14% in a single day. Dell—whose fourth quarter began Nov. 2—expects revenue to fall between $24 billion and $25 billion with adjusted earnings of $2.50 per share, below the $25.5 billion in revenue and $2.65 per share in earnings projected by analysts, according to FactSet. Meanwhile, HP projected earnings per share to fall between 70 cents and 76 cents for a first quarter that started Nov. 1, compared to the 85 cents per share projected by analysts. The AI market is a “robust opportunity” for Dell with “no signs of slowing down,” Jeff Clarke, Dell’s COO, said in the company’s report, though he noted on Wednesday that Dell’s AI business “will not be linear” as customers navigate a “changing” market. HP personal systems, which includes personal computers which makes up the bulk of overall growth, saw net revenue rise 9% to US$11.5B year over year. Printing net revenue rose 1% to $4.5B, while personal systems revenue rose 2% to $9.6B in Q4 year on year. Bernstein analysts said HP’s guidance pointed “to an unusually back-half loaded year, which appears predicated on continued strong IPG margins and strong PC growth/upgrade cycle.” “We don’t have high conviction in either and end up slightly below the midpoint of HPQ’s guidance range,” analysts led by Toni Sacconaghi commented. Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) analysts voiced similar comments, noting that an in-line full-year guide and a sub-seasonal Q1 outlook “means 2025 will be more back-half loaded than ever before.”
ABUJA – The House of Representatives has approved for the second reading a bill seeking to establish the National Commission for Technology Transfer, Acquisition, and Promotion. The proposed bill according to lawmakers, will play a pivotal role in monitoring the inflow of foreign products and technology into Nigeria. It aims to enhance local capacity, regulate the adoption of foreign technologies, and ensure the strategic transfer of technology for national development. The sponsor of a new bill, Hon. Clement Jimbo from Akwa Ibom State, has emphasized its potential to harness Nigeria’s vast and active population to create jobs, particularly for the youth. According to him, the proposed legislation seeks to stimulate the processing of raw materials into finished goods, increase the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and facilitate the transfer of advanced technology to Nigeria. Leading the debate on the bill’s general principles, the PDP lawmaker highlighted the overarching goal of the legislation: ensuring value addition to the country’s solid minerals exploration. He argued that by focusing on regular value addition, Nigeria can unlock the full economic potential of its natural resources and position itself as a competitive player in the global market.

US coach Emma Hayes admits to anthem uncertainty ahead of England stalemateBack in September, I attended a lecture at the library given by Meg Daley Olmert, entitled “Sit, Stay, Heal.” Olmert is a writer who has worked on documentaries for Smithsonian World, National Geographic Explorer, and PBS, among others. In 1992 she was asked to join a research team studying the neurobiology of social bonding. Listening to Olmert speak, it became obvious that her work on that study changed her view of history; and I began to think it might change mine as well. So I picked up a copy of Olmert’s book on the subject, “Made for Each Other,” rushed home and devoured it. I have referred to Jared Diamond’s “Guns, Germs, and Steel” before in this column. That book’s thesis, that geography rather than racial superiority gave Western Civilization a leg-up on the rest of the world, is now the lens through which I view and understand the past. But if Diamond’s book posits geography as history’s fulcrum, Olmert’s work places an even less obvious entity at that pivot point: a simple molecule, oxytocin. Oxytocin is often referred to as the “love hormone.” All mammals produce it, and in all mammals it produces the same effects. When it’s time to give birth, oxytocin brings on labor. When it’s time to suckle our young, oxytocin brings on lactation. When animals groom one another — whether it’s a ewe licking her lamb or a man helping his wife with a zipper — oxytocin is released and all concerned feel a rush of goodwill. Oxytocin boosts trust, empathy, fidelity and nonverbal communication; it encourages and solidifies social bonding. All of this is well known, but what Olmert’s book makes clear is that these benefits are interspecific, that is: the effects are the same whether a woman is straightening her husband’s tie or removing a thorn from her cat’s paw. In both cases, their health improves and their bond is strengthened. For years it has been received wisdom among archaeologists that humans created their first permanent settlements around 10,000 years ago, with the advent of agriculture. But recent discoveries have pushed that date back to a point 15,000 years before people began cultivating crops. Why then? Well, it turns out that the earlier date dovetails nicely with humanity’s first successful domestication of a wild animal; the wolf became a dog, oxytocin was released, and the bond between man and man’s best friend was created. People could now go to sleep in the same place night after night secure in the knowledge that their dogs would alert them if a saber-toothed cat or an enemy band approached their settlement. If permanent settlement is the necessary first-step toward civilization, then we can thank Fido for Chartres Cathedral and the great pyramids. But before those piles could be erected, oxytocin still had more tasks to perform. When Homo sapiens first entered Europe, among the megafauna they encountered was a monster that stood six feet tall at the shoulder and sported eight-foot horns: the aurochs. When Caesar saw his first aurochs in Germany, he declared them too vicious to ever be tamed. The general would have been surprised to learn that the cattle marching placidly along in his army’s wake were, in fact, descendants of the first domesticated aurochs. But let’s think for a moment about how that animal’s vastly significant domestication first took place. Imagine the courage it took for some Neolithic man or woman to approach a wild aurochs, corral it and slip a rope over its neck. Olmert makes the case that this person, whoever they were, was the test pilot of their day, that their one small step toward an aurochs represented a greater leap in world history than Neil Armstrong’s. And it was successful, almost certainly, thanks to the oxytocin released in both man and beast. If oxytocin helped create the bonds between people and animals that made civilization possible (think horses, camels, sheep, dogs, cattle, pigs, etc.), then Olmert’s book closes with a cautionary note about what a deficit of oxytocin might mean for our modern world. Since the Industrial Revolution, people have been moving in ever greater numbers away from the animals that fueled civilization’s development. Today, so few Americans still live on the land that the Census Bureau no longer lists farming as a career category to be checked off. As we moved away from our farms and our farm animals, two particularly devastating mental disconnects blossomed among our children: autism and ADHD. Both conditions are characterized by low levels of oxytocin in the bloodstream. The severity of both has been found to be reduced by giving affected children the opportunity to care for a non-human animal. In a study performed in 1995, oxytocin was found to protect adults against the modern world’s leading cause of death. Among 369 victims of heart attack, dog ownership was found to be a better predictor of survival than regularity of heartbeat, absence of diabetes, or strength of the patient’s heart. One year after their coronary, 20 of the 369 patients studied had died — only one of the 20 owned a dog. Whether or not you think the world would be a better place if we all spent more time stroking Fido or milking Clarabelle, Meg Daley Olmert’s “Made for Each Other” will convince you there’s more to both than meets the eye. You can find “Made for Each Other” at that hallmark of civilization: our local library.
