Lloyd’s Register Group (LR), a global provider of maritime professional services and digital solutions, has completed the acquisition of Ocean Technologies Group (OTG), a leading trusted provider of human capital management and operational software dedicated to the global maritime industry, from European private equity firm Oakley Capital. This follows the acquisition of OneOcean (OO) in 2022, and the purchase of a 50 per cent stake alongside the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) in ISF Watchkeeper in 2023. By combining with LR OneOcean and OTG, LR is now poised to deliver unparallelled value, enhanced safety and drive sustainable growth for clients and the sector as a whole. OTG provides critical training, compliance, operational and HR software to more than 1,000 shipowners and operators and more than one million seafarers around the world. This acquisition means that LR will now be able to offer these solutions across a combined fleet of over 30,000 vessels across the globe. Nick Brown, CEO of Lloyd’s Register, said: “We are delighted to have completed the acquisition of Ocean Technologies Group. With OTG now part of LR and combined with LR OneOcean, we are uniquely positioned to lead the way in maritime digitalisation and decarbonisation as a trusted partner. “Our combined expertise enhances our ability to meet the evolving needs of an industry in energy transition and to drive innovation. “The merger allows us to offer an unmatched suite of digital solutions that integrate human capital management (HCM) and operational software. “Clients will benefit from a one-stop solution, streamlining their operations and improving efficiency.” Thomas Zanzinger, CEO of OTG, said: “Becoming a part of Lloyd’s Register rapidly expands our capabilities within an organisation that aligns perfectly with our mission, vision and values as we support our industry towards a digital and sustainable future. “Our leadership team, drawn from LR OO and OTG is dedicated to ensuring a seamless integration process that prioritises client satisfaction and agile innovation.” Source: Lloyd’s RegisterYPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — On a damp Wednesday night with temperatures dipping into the 30s, fans in sparsely filled stands bundled up to watch Buffalo beat Eastern Michigan 37-30 on gray turf. The lopsided game was not particularly notable, but it was played on one of the nights the Mid-American Conference has made its own: A weeknight. “A lot of the general public thinks we play all of our games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, not just some of them in November,” MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said in a telephone interview this week. “What it has done is help take what was a pretty darned good regional conference and has given it a national brand and made it a national conference.” When the conference has played football games on ESPN or ESPN2 over the last two seasons, the linear television audience has been 10 times larger than when conference schools meet on Saturdays and get lost in the shuffle when viewers have many more choices. The most-watched MAC game over the last two years was earlier this month on a Wednesday night when Northern Illinois won at Western Michigan and there were 441,600 viewers, a total that doesn’t include streaming that isn’t captured by Nielsen company. During the same span, the linear TV audience has been no larger than 46,100 to watch two MAC teams play on Saturdays. “Having the whole nation watching on Tuesday and Wednesday night is a huge deal for the MAC,” Eastern Michigan tight end Jere Getzinger said. “Everybody wants to watch football so if you put it on TV on a Tuesday or Wednesday, people are going to watch.” ESPN has carried midweek MAC football games since the start of the century. ESPN and the conference signed a 13-year extension a decade ago that extends their relationship through at least the 2026-27 season. The conference has made the most of the opportunities, using MACtion as a tag on social media for more than a decade and it has become a catchy marketing term for the Group of Five football programs that usually operate under the radar in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New York. Attendance does tend to go down with weeknight games, keeping some students out of stadiums because they have class or homework and leading to adults staying away home because they have to work the next morning. “The tradeoff is the national exposure,” Buffalo coach Pete Lembo said. “You know November nights midweek the average fan is going to park on the couch, have a bowl of chips and salsa out in front, and watch the game from there." When the Bulls beat Ball State 51-48 in an overtime thriller on a Tuesday night earlier this month, the announced attendance was 12,708 and that appeared to be generous. There were many empty seats after halftime. “You watch the games on TV, the stadiums all look like this,” Buffalo fan Jeff Wojcicki said. “They are not packed, but it’s the only game on, and you know where to find it.” Sleep and practice schedules take a hit as well, creating another wave of challenges for students to attend class and coaches to prepare without the usual rhythm of preparing all week to play on Saturday. “Last week when we played at Ohio in Athens, we had a 4-four bus ride home and got home at about 3:30 a.m.,” Eastern Michigan center Broderick Roman said. “We still had to go to class and that was tough, but it's part of what you commit to as an athlete.” That happens a lot in November when the MAC shifts its unique schedule. During the first two weeks of the month, the conference had 10 games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays exclusively. This week, there were five games on Tuesday and Wednesday while only one was left in the traditional Saturday slot with Ball State hosting Bowling Green. Next week, Toledo plays at Akron and Kent State visits Buffalo on Tuesday night before the MAC schedule wraps up with games next Friday and Saturday to determine which teams will meet in the conference title game on Dec. 7 in Detroit. In all, MAC teams will end up playing about 75% of their games on a Saturday and the rest on November weeknights. When the Eagles wrapped up practice earlier this week, two days before they played the Bulls, tight end Jere Getzinger provided some insight into the effects of the scheduling quirk. “It's Monday, but for us it's like a Thursday,” he said. Bowling Green coach Scot Loeffler said he frankly has a hard time remembering what day it is when the schedule shift hits in November. “The entire week gets turned upside down,” Loeffler said. “It’s wild, but it’s great for the league because there’s two days a week this time of year that people around the country will watch MAC games.” AP freelance writer Jonah Bronstein contributed to this report.

Papastergiou stressed in his speech that in addition to the measures to be taken by each state, EU member states must jointly take initiatives to force major digital platforms and social media to stop targeting user addiction.Papastergiou cited as an example at European level the Digital Services Act (DSA), which includes specific provisions for the protection of minors and explicitly addresses the problem of addictive design. As he said "soon in Greece we will present the National Strategy for the protection of minors from algorithmic addiction. Social media and digital platforms must come to the table and show that they will take tangible, measurable actions to prioritise safety over profit. The design of their apps and services should be age-appropriate," he said, referring to the implementation of age verification and age assurance tools, age verification. Referring to other Council issues, Papastergiou stressed the need to adjust the objectives of the "Digital Decade" and targeted funding due to the rapid development of technologies such as 6G, Artificial Intelligence and cloud computing. He also referred to the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) and the usefulness of extending upgrade and retraining programmes for ICT professionals. He made particular reference to the role of ENISA (the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity) in improving common situational awareness and management of large-scale cyber incidents and crises in the EU, as well as the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC). In the margins of the Council, the Minister had an introductory meeting with the new Executive Vice President of the European Commission Henna Virkkunen. He also had bilateral contacts with ministers.

Wizard of health President-elect Donald Trump nominated Dr. Mehmet Oz to serve as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services administrator ( “Dr. Oz will head up Medicare, Medicaid,” Nov. 20). America is facing a health-care crisis, and there may be no physician more qualified and capable than Oz to make America healthy again. He is an eminent physician, heart surgeon, inventor and world-class communicator who has been at the forefront of healthy living for decades. Paul Bacon, Hallandale Beach, Fla. Overtime overkill When I was a precinct commander, every month I received two overtime print-outs ( “NYPD’S top pay $400K — at desk,” Nov. 17). One report listed anyone who was or was soon to be retirement eligible, who earned over 20 hours of overtime for the previous month. You had to do an “exception report” explaining how the overtime was earned and what steps you were taking to curtail it. The other overtime report listed the top 200 overtime earners, and if anyone under your command was on that list, you had to do an analysis of how the it was earned (usually via arrests) and how you were going to lower those hours. Often, this meant taking your proactive officers off patrol and putting them in admin positions. That was over 20 years ago. Is anyone minding the store anymore? Thomas Mullen, Yonkers Hollywood hate Kudos on the powerful story about Justine Bateman ( “ ‘Family Ties’ star Justine Bateman getting guff over Trump victory ‘relief,’ ” Nov. 17). Her willingness to speak out is a rare act of courage. In a world where expressing any opinion outside the “permitted positions” is met with mob mentality, Bateman’s defiance is both refreshing and necessary. Her battle cry exposes the chilling reality of our time, and coverage of it amplifies her brave stand against a suffocating culture of silence. Greg Rickabaugh, Fort Mill, SC ‘The Empty State’ New York is headed for massive shrinkage — thanks to its repellant progressive agenda ( “The Incredible Shrinking Empire State,” Editorial, Nov. 18). The Post identifies the expected population decline in New York and some of the reasons. However, it fails to mention whether this projection includes Gov. Hochul’s wishes about Republicans. A few years back, Hochul told Republicans to leave New York, and recently, she told Trump voters they were anti-American and anti-women, so I would expect the decline to be even greater based on the number of New Yorkers voting GOP this past election. What percentage of Republicans plan on leaving as result of these comments? Eileen Corr, Brewster, Mass. Biden’s bumming For the record: I have never been a President Biden supporter ( “Back-row ‘snub,’ Xi up front in Peru,” Nov. 17). That being said, I feel the placement of Biden in the APEC group photo was a complete insult to him personally, and to the office of the president of the United States and to the United States as a country. To add insult to injury, China’s President Xi was awarded a place of prominence. President-elect Trump should make it abundantly clear that the United States is insulted by the treatment of its head of state, no matter his politics. J. Mancuso, Naples, Fla.

Mason Appleton had a goal and an assist as the Jets picked up their second straight win after a four-game losing streak. Nino Niederreiter and Gabriel Vilardi also scored, and Connor Hellebuyck made 12 saves. Sorensen was promoted from the team's top minor league affiliate when Luke Richardson was fired on Thursday. Alex Vlasic scored for the second straight game for Chicago, which has dropped five in a row. Alec Martinez added his first goal of the season. The Blackhawks had a 2-1 lead before Niederreiter converted a backhander 13:10 into the second, beating Arvid Soderblom. It was Niederreiter's 10th of the season. Soderblom entered 11 minutes into the game when Petr Mrazek appeared to aggravate a right groin pull. Appleton had an empty-net goal with 1:41 to play. Takeaways Jets: Winnipeg outplayed Chicago in the final 30 minutes, not only in shots but in puck possession. Blackhawks: Chicago played with more pace but it still struggled to get the puck to the net. They had only 14 shots on goal. Key moment Scheifele beat Jason Dickinson on the face-off that led to Winnipeg’s go-ahead goal. He slid the puck to Connor, then raced to the net for the rebound at 10:18. Key stat Blackhawks coaches, interim or full-time, are 6-7-1 in their first game behind the bench since the beginning of the 1995-96 season. Richardson lost his debut at the beginning of the 2022-23 season. Up next The Jets begin a four-game homestand against Columbus on Sunday.
