Victor Wembanyama plays 1-on-1 chess with fans in New YorkThe stock market offers the opportunity to invest your savings in the best businesses in the world. Investing in a group of well-chosen growth stocks can pave the way for a happy retirement. Here are two quality growth stocks that can exponentially grow your savings in the decades to come. 1. Amazon Investing in familiar brands is often a smart move. If you're one of the millions of Prime members that regularly shops on Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) , you already understand why it's a great business. It has used its extensive selection, competitive prices, and fast shipping to capture its share of the $6 trillion global e-commerce market, which has translated to wealth-building returns for shareholders over the last 20 years. The size of that opportunity suggests Amazon can grow for a long time. Are You Missing The Morning Scoop? Wake up with Breakfast news in your inbox every market day. Sign Up For Free » It's certainly not too late to start investing in Amazon. The shares have more than doubled over the last five years and continue to hit new highs as the company improves its profitability and scales its cloud-services business. In the third quarter, Amazon said its net sales grew 11% over the year-ago quarter, while lower costs helped drive a 55% increase in net income. Meanwhile, Amazon's cloud-services business continues to win new business from organizations migrating their data systems from on-premise servers to the cloud. Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers customers everything they need to take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which is helping businesses optimize processes and innovate faster for their customers. AI is a big reason AWS has reported accelerating revenue growth this year and should continue to be a key driver of the stock's returns, since AWS generates most of Amazon's profit. Amazon stock can deliver double-digit annualized returns for several more years. It is still chasing a growing e-commerce market, while the public cloud market is expected to reach a value of $1.8 trillion by 2029, according to Statista. 2. Roku Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) is another familiar name for the more than 85 million households that use the streaming platform. The stock was expensive going into a brutal year for the ad market in 2022, which led to weak financial results for Roku's ad-driven connected TV platform. But those headwinds are behind it, and with the stock trading at a discounted valuation, investors can buy shares at prices that may undervalue its long-term growth opportunity. The total ad market is expected to grow 8% this year to reach $990 billion, according to GroupM. More of this ad spending is shifting to digital media platforms. GroupM estimates the connected TV advertising market to increase 20% this year to $38 billion. Roku is growing roughly in line with that estimate, with revenue up 16% year over year through the first nine months of 2024. Despite the rebound in the ad market, the stock is still down 64% over the last three years. The stock's price-to-sales (P/S) ratio of 2.8, which is reasonable if the company continues to improve margins. The company's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depcreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) improved to over 9% in Q3, up from 4.8% in the year-ago quarter. As Roku continues to grow the number of households on its platform and scales its ad business, the stock could deliver outstanding returns over the next decade and beyond.

Texas' Trey Moore forced a fumble on Beck's pass attempt, appearing to injure the Georgia quarterback's throwing arm. Beck remained motionless on the field for a short time before joining the team in the locker room. Coach Kirby Smart told ESPN at halftime that Beck was done for the day. During the third quarter, Beck was seen with ice on his right elbow. Beck completed 7 of 13 passes for 56 yards and was sacked once before exiting. Georgia backup Gunner Stockton entered and led Georgia on a 10-play, 75-yard opening second-half drive, giving the Bulldogs their first lead at 10-6. Bulldogs punter Brett Thorson injured his left knee in the third quarter and was ruled out of the contest. He was taken off on a cart. --Field Level MediaThe Tampa Bay Rays will be playing a very grueling schedule in 2025, largely due to their enforced move from Tropicana Field. Major League Baseball announced a pair of changes to the Rays’ previously-announced regular season schedule for 2025 on Monday, via the Associated Press . The Rays will play a home series in Tampa against the Los Angeles Angels from Apr. 8-10 after originally being scheduled to play that series in California. As a result, the Angels-Rays series that had been scheduled to be played in Tampa from Aug. 4-6 will be moved to Anaheim on Aug. 5-7. The Rays’ two series against the Minnesota Twins will also be flipped. They will host the Twins in late May and then travel to Minnesota in early July. The league made the changes out of consideration for potential weather issues in Florida. Since the Rays will be playing outdoors at Steinbrenner Field, MLB sought to account for the summer rainy season in Florida by getting as many home games out of the way early in the year. The changes will have consequences for the Rays and their travel schedule. 47 of the team’s first 59 games will be at home, followed by a run of 69 of their final 103 games on the road. The Rays were left with no choice but to play outdoors after Hurricane Milton ripped apart the roof of Tropicana Field in October, knocking the venue out of commission until 2026 at the earliest. The Rays did not have to go far for a suitable stadium, but without the benefit of a roof, weather may be a big issue for them next season. Given these changes, one could argue it already is.

Man flown to hospital with suspected spinal injuries after horse-riding accidentMikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to end their away day blues in the Champions League by beating Sporting Lisbon . The Gunners have struggled away from home in Europe’s elite club competition under Arteta, winning just one of seven games on the road. Arsenal have lost all of their last four away games in the Champions League and failed to find the net in that time, too. A trip to Sporting is next up on Tuesday and Arteta believes it is a good moment for his side to make a statement. “It’s certainly something we have to improve,” he said. “We have the right steps, and looking back at the way we played against Inter, against a team that has been so dominant in the league, were in the Champions League final and should have won it. “We played and dominated the game we should have won. But the reality is you have to make it happen, and we didn’t. “Those steps are what we have to take next, be ruthless and be much more efficient in the opposition box, and when we get there do what we have to do to take the three points away from here. “Not all of the games have been the same. It’s true that some of those games were when we’d already qualified. “But it’s true we have to improve the results and we have to find the ways to understand what has been missing. “Sometimes it’s been performance to be fair, and sometimes it’s been different aspects, and that’s the next step we have to make as a team.” Arsenal’s lack of goals has been a particular worry and the last player to score for them away from home in the Champions League was Eddie Nketiah in December of last year. “The efficiency we have shown inside the box, at this level, with the number of chances you are normally able to generate in the Champions League, has not been at the level that is required to win consistently,” he said. “I always say the Champions League is about the boxes, small margins and details, and you have to get all those right to win, especially away from home.”SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 25, 2024-- Astera Labs (Nasdaq: ALAB), a global leader in semiconductor-based connectivity solutions for AI and cloud infrastructure, today announced its participation in the following financial conferences: Webcasts of these sessions will be available on Astera Labs’ investor relations website at https://ir.asteralabs.com About Astera Labs Astera Labs is a global leader in purpose-built connectivity solutions that unlock the full potential of AI and cloud infrastructure.

New predictions by researchers are higher than previous estimates which suggested that each cigarette shortens a smoker's life by 11 minutes. The latest findings, which claim that each cigarette leads to a 20-minute loss of life on average across both genders, are based on more up-to-date figures from long-term studies tracking the health of the population. Researchers from University College London said that the harm caused by smoking is “cumulative” and the sooner a person stops smoking, and the more cigarettes they avoid smoking, the longer they live. The new research, commissioned by the Department for Health and Social Care, suggests that if a 10-cigarettes-a-day smoker quits on 1 January, then by 8 January they could “prevent loss of a full day of life”. By 20 February, their lives could be extended by a whole week. And if their quitting is successful until 5 August, they will likely live for a whole month longer than if they had continued to smoke. The authors said: “Studies suggest that smokers typically lose about the same number of healthy years as they do total years of life. “Thus smoking primarily eats into the relatively healthy middle years rather than shortening the period at the end of life, which is often marked by chronic illness or disability. “So a 60-year-old smoker will typically have the health profile of a 70-year-old non-smoker.” The analysis, which will be published in the Journal of Addiction , states the average of 20 minutes of life expectancy lost for each cigarette “is time that would likely be spent in relatively good health”. It adds: “Stopping smoking at every age is beneficial but the sooner smokers get off this escalator of death, the longer and healthier they can expect their lives to be.” Dr Sarah Jackson, principal research fellow from the UCL Alcohol and Tobacco Research Group, said: “It is vital that people understand just how harmful smoking is and how much quitting can improve their health and life expectancy.” She added: “The sooner a person stops smoking, the longer they live. Quitting at any age substantially improves health and the benefits start almost immediately. “It's never too late to make a positive change for your health and there are a range of effective products and treatments that can help smokers quit for good.” Health officials say smokers can find advice, support and resources with the NHS Quit Smoking app, as well as the online Personal Quit Plan. Public health minister Andrew Gwynne said: “Smoking is an expensive and deadly habit and these findings reveal the shocking reality of this addiction, highlighting how important it is to quit. “The new year offers a perfect chance for smokers to make a new resolution and take that step.” Professor Sanjay Agrawal, special adviser on tobacco at the Royal College of Physicians, added: “Every cigarette smoked costs precious minutes of life, and the cumulative impact is devastating, not only for individuals but also for our healthcare system and economy. “This research is a powerful reminder of the urgent need to address cigarette smoking as the leading preventable cause of death and disease in the UK.”Paveletzke's 23 lead Ohio past Morehead State 88-76

Share Tweet Share Share Email In the modern world, influencers gone wild and fashion are two closely intertwined realms that drive cultural conversations and set the tone for what’s trendy. Social media platforms have revolutionized how fashion is perceived, consumed, and created, largely thanks to influencers who wield immense power over their audiences. But how do these influencers shape fashion, and what are the underlying stories and topics that dominate this space? This article delves into the dynamic relationship between influencers and fashion, exploring their impact, trends, and the future of this captivating industry. The Role of Influencers in Modern Fashion Influencers have emerged as pivotal players in the fashion world. They are no longer just people with a knack for style; they are tastemakers and trendsetters who redefine what it means to be fashionable. Social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have given these individuals a stage to showcase their creativity, authenticity, and unique perspectives on fashion. Unlike traditional celebrities, influencers are perceived as more relatable, which is one of their greatest assets. They connect with their audience on a personal level, making their fashion choices seem attainable and aspirational. Whether it’s an outfit of the day post, a haul video, or styling tips, influencers make fashion feel approachable for the everyday person. Their ability to mix high-end luxury brands with affordable, accessible pieces has democratized the fashion industry, breaking down barriers that once separated elite fashion from the masses your topics | multiple stories . Micro-Influencers vs. Macro-Influencers When discussing influencers, it’s essential to differentiate between micro-influencers and macro-influencers. Micro-influencers, with their smaller but highly engaged audiences, often focus on niche topics. In fashion, they might specialize in sustainable clothing, thrifted outfits, or specific styles like bohemian or streetwear. Macro-influencers, on the other hand, have millions of followers and often work with high-profile fashion brands. Both types of influencers play significant roles in the fashion ecosystem. Micro-influencers bring authenticity and relatability, often fostering close-knit communities around their fashion choices. Macro-influencers, with their broad reach, amplify trends and introduce new styles to global audiences. Together, they create a balanced dynamic that drives the fashion conversation forward. Fashion Trends Driven by Influencers Influencers are at the forefront of setting and spreading fashion trends. They’re often the first to experiment with bold styles, colors, and designs, which then gain traction among their followers. The power of influencers lies in their ability to make trends viral, turning niche ideas into mainstream movements. The Rise of Sustainable Fashion One of the most significant trends in recent years is the push for sustainable fashion, and influencers have played a crucial role in this movement. Many influencers use their platforms to promote eco-friendly brands and educate their followers about the environmental impact of fast fashion. By sharing content about thrift shopping, upcycling, and supporting ethical brands, they’ve made sustainable fashion not just a choice but a statement. The Revival of Y2K Aesthetics Y2K fashion, characterized by bold colors, metallics, and nostalgic designs from the early 2000s, has made a massive comeback—largely thanks to influencers. Platforms like TikTok are filled with influencers sporting low-rise jeans, chunky accessories, and baby tees, reviving the iconic looks of the millennium era. Their embrace of this aesthetic has brought it back into mainstream retail stores and fashion collections worldwide. The Impact of Viral Challenges Fashionisk .com influencers have also leveraged viral challenges to popularize trends. Whether it’s styling a single piece of clothing in multiple ways or recreating runway looks on a budget, these challenges engage audiences and encourage participation. They blur the lines between influencer and follower, making fashion a collaborative experience. The Stories Behind Influencers and Fashion Behind every fashion influencer is a unique story that shapes their perspective and approach to style. These stories are what make their content resonate with audiences. From Passion to Profession Many influencers start their journey out of a genuine love for fashion. They begin by sharing their personal style and gradually build a following. Over time, their passion transforms into a profession, with opportunities to collaborate with brands, attend fashion weeks, and even launch their own fashion lines. This journey inspires their followers, showing that pursuing one’s passion can lead to extraordinary success. The Power of Authenticity Authenticity is the cornerstone of an influencer’s success in the fashion industry. Audiences value genuine recommendations and personal anecdotes over polished, overly commercial content. Influencers who share their struggles with body image, the challenges of finding inclusive clothing, or their efforts to adopt sustainable practices foster deeper connections with their followers. Diverse Voices in Fashion The rise of influencers has also brought more diversity to the fashion industry. Influencers from various cultural backgrounds, body types, and gender identities are challenging traditional beauty standards and redefining what’s considered fashionable. This inclusivity enriches the fashion world, offering fresh perspectives and inspiring a broader audience. Challenges Influencers Face in the Fashion World While influencers wield significant influence, their journey is not without challenges. The fast-paced nature of social media requires them to constantly produce new content, stay updated on trends, and maintain relevance in an increasingly competitive space Drew Pritchard New Wife . The Pressure to Stay Relevant Fashion trends evolve rapidly, and influencers must adapt quickly to stay ahead. The pressure to be on top of trends can be overwhelming, leading to burnout for some. Balancing authenticity with the need to produce trendy content is a delicate act that many influencers grapple with. Criticism and Backlash Influencers often face scrutiny for their choices, whether it’s partnering with controversial brands or promoting expensive products that alienate their audience. Navigating such criticism requires resilience and a strong sense of identity. The Future of Influencers in Fashion The relationship between influencers and fashion continues to evolve, with new possibilities on the horizon. As technology advances, so does the potential for influencers to reshape the fashion landscape. Virtual Influencers Virtual influencers, computer-generated characters with lifelike appearances, are gaining popularity. These digital personas collaborate with fashion brands, blurring the lines between technology and style. While they lack the relatability of human influencers, their ability to embody futuristic aesthetics makes them intriguing players in the fashion world. The Metaverse and Fashion The metaverse offers exciting opportunities for influencers to create and promote digital fashion. Virtual clothing and accessories, which can be worn by avatars in digital spaces, are becoming a new frontier for self-expression. Influencers are poised to lead this movement, merging fashion with the digital world of Malia Manocherian . Continued Focus on Sustainability As sustainability remains a priority, influencers will play a key role in promoting ethical fashion practices. Their platforms will continue to serve as powerful tools for raising awareness and driving change in the industry. Conclusion The synergy between influencers and fashion is undeniable. Influencers have transformed how we perceive and engage with fashion, making it more accessible, inclusive, and dynamic. From setting trends to advocating for sustainability and diversity, they shape the stories and topics that define the industry. As the fashion world evolves, influencers will undoubtedly remain at the heart of this transformation, driving innovation and inspiring millions. Their ability to connect, influence, and inspire ensures that their impact on fashion will endure for years to come.

Rima Oueid of the US Department of Energy on Monday estimated that half of the jobs in quantum computing “are not getting filled” in remarks at the Hudson Institute, a Washington-based think tank. Without disclosing specific figures, Oueid, who works in the DoE’s office of technology transitions, said the shortage ran into “the tens of thousands, so it’s significant”. Even as American universities offer quantum programmes, about half of all PhD students in the US hail from abroad, she added. And US immigration law can make it hard for those foreign nationals to stay. “There’s been conversations around whether we could expedite different types of visas that would allow ... students educated here to build these roles,” Oueid said. “That’s a big part of the problem.”
