THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — Alyssa Naeher ended her national team career with one last win. The stalwart goalkeeper made two critical saves in her final match for the United States, and the Americans beat the Netherlands 2-1 on Tuesday. “I definitely wasn’t thinking about it during the game, just wanted to win the game and do what I could to come away with the ‘W’ for us to close out the year,” Naeher said. Lynn Williams scored the go-ahead goal in the 71st minute for the U.S., which won its fifth Olympic gold medal in France this summer and wrapped up the year on a 20-game unbeaten streak. The Americans were coming off a scoreless draw with England on Saturday at Wembley Stadium. Naeher announced two weeks ago that the European exhibitions would be her final matches. The 36-year-old goalkeeper played in 115 games for the U.S., with 111 starts, 89 wins and 69 shutouts. Naeher is the only U.S. keeper with shutouts in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. She was in goal when the United States defeated the Netherlands 2-0 in the 2019 Women's World Cup final . “I feel like in my heart I would love to keep going. In my head, in my body and mind, I feel like it’s the right time. And I think it’s the right time with this team as well as it builds towards the future and towards 2027,” Naeher said. “This environment, this team, is an incredible team to be a part of, but it’s also really hard and really challenging in a lot of ways as well. “I feel like I’ve given everything I have to give for this team and that’s why I feel at peace with that.” The Netherlands took the lead on center back Veerle Buurman's header off a corner kick in the 15th minute. Naeher prevented a second goal when she punched away Dominique Janssen's shot in the 38th. The United States drew even at the end of the first half on an own goal that deflected off Buurman and past Dutch goalkeeper Daphne van Domselaar. Naeher slid to stop Danielle van de Donk's shot in the 69th minute before Williams, a second-half substitute, scored her fourth goal of the year and 21st of her career. “I wouldn’t say that this was our prettiest game of soccer ever. And sometimes that’s how games go. You can talk about tactics, you can talk about formations, you talk about everything, but the biggest thing was matching their intensity. Getting to the second ball, getting to the first ball. That was the shift that needed to happen,” Williams said about the team's second-half mindset. Naeher finished with six saves. She is not quite finished with soccer yet: She will continue playing next season for the Chicago Red Stars of the National Women's Soccer League. “She’s been consistent again and again. Even when she’s been questioned at times in her career, she’s always found the answer,” U.S. coach Emma Hayes said. “Not only has she been a great player in this program, but let me tell you, she’s so loved by everyone, players and staff alike. She is the best teammate you could ask for and that just speaks volumes to the person that she is.” Lily Yohannes came in as a substitute in the second half. Yohannes, who has dual citizenship, opted to play for the United States over the Netherlands last month. She plays professionally for the Dutch club Ajax. The U.S. finished the year without the trio of Mallory Swanson, Trinity Rodman and Sophia Smith, who were left off the roster for the final two matches to rest and heal nagging injuries. The U.S. is unbeaten in 15 matches under Hayes, who took over in May. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press
PDYN Stock Soars to 52-Week High, Reaching $3.52 Amidst Surge
WASHINGTON, D.C., Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA) released its Ways in Which Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) Can Meet Gaps in the U.S. Supply Chain report. This report presents several avenues for MBEs to meet gaps in the U.S. supply chain and discusses opportunities to conduct, commission, and collaborate on new studies with other federal, state, and private institutions on this topic. This report offers a data-driven snapshot of the MBE supplier landscape, analyzing representation of MBE firms in both manufacturing industries and the service industries that support manufacturing. The data shows there is room to grow representation of MBEs, particularly in manufacturing. MBE firms comprise about 22 percent of the service sector firms support manufacturing but represent only about 10 percent of manufacturing firms. As a comparison, MBEs comprise about 20 percent of all employer firms. The report identifies barriers present in supply chains for MBE participation; and the ways in which policy makers, technical assistance providers, and large corporations can utilize MBEs to advance the U.S. supply chain. “MBDA has embarked on a new chapter of our long and proud history to serve and support MBEs,” said Deputy Under Secretary of Minority Business Development Eric Morrissette . “The Minority Business Development Act of 2021 empowered our agency to work toward equity among U.S. firms and strengthen our national economy, and we are forever committed to that mission. Together with public and private sector partners, we will continue to address capital access disparities and highlight sources of alternative financing while closing gaps in the U.S. supply chain.” The report highlights many public and private initiatives directed toward promoting the success of MBEs in supply chain industries and breaking down barriers. Increasing MBE participation in advanced technologies and manufacturing relies on a range of initiatives to ensure MBEs can develop the capacities and skills needed to compete in rapidly changing markets. The report recommends four potential opportunities through which MBEs can help close supply chain gaps through policy and business plan changes: Leverage the Large Number of MBEs in High-Tech Manufacturing Support Services: Assist MBEs to Access Opportunities as Part of the Growth Spurred by Federal Investments, Including the CHIPS Act. Fostering Inclusive Entrepreneurship In Manufacturing: Promote Talent Pools of Entrepreneurship; and Support Training Programs and Expand Innovation Incentives. Expand Corporate Supply Chain Diversity: Expand and Strengthen Procurement Programs,; Build Corporate-MBE Supplier Relationships; and Ensure Stable Cashflow for MBEs. Provide Support to MBEs in Manufacturing: Leverage Business Centers and Networks; Develop Initiatives Helping MBEs Grow in Scale and Size; Foster Networks and Partnerships; and Encourage Community Engagement. Other suggestions made in the report include addressing unique challenges by MBE demographic groups and expanding qualitative data gathering to learn about the needs of MBEs in manufacturing. This report was mandated under the Minority Business Development Act of 2021. The Act codified MBDA and many of its existing programs. The report, and details of its findings, can be reviewed at www.mbda.gov . About the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA): The U.S. Department of Commerce, Minority Business Development Agency is the only Federal agency dedicated to the growth and global competitiveness of U.S. minority business enterprises (MBEs). For more than 50 years, MBDA’s programs and services have better equipped MBEs to create jobs, build scale and capacity, increase revenues, and expand regionally, nationally, and internationally. ### Attachment 2024 MBDA Supply Chain Report Press ReleaseAs we enter the shortest days of the year here’s the history of light bulbs
Strictly Come Dancing fans flocked to social media minutes into the semi-final to complain about the fact that Pete Wicks was still there - before he'd even set foot on the dance floor. Viewers argued that the ex-TOWIE celebrity hasn't displayed enough dancing prowess to justify his place in the closing stages of the BBC series, especially when more talented competitors have been sent home. Just moments into the episode on Saturday, December 7, which also showcased talents like Chris McCausland, Tasha Ghouri, JB Gill, and Sarah Hadland, audiences were voicing their disapproval at Pete's inclusion with some even saying they'd quit watching Strictly altogether should Pete get through to next weekend's final. One viewer vented on X: "If pete doesn't leave this week im actually never watching strictly again." Echoing the sentiment, another said: "Well let's go, although I'm sure the great voting public will let me down again," reports the Mirror . Someone else weighed in with: "There is not one couple who should go home over Pete." Another added: "PETE DOES NOT DESERVE TO MAKE THE FINAL." While one more simply asserted: "Let's stop messing about now, it's time for Pete and Jowita to go." Nevertheless, Pete did receive backing with one stating: "I'll be voting for Pete and Chris tonight. Strictly is an entertainment show. Those two men came into the show with no dancing experience and they for me, is what the show is all about. I really hope they both make the final." The semi-final opened with Tasha and Aljaz Skorjanec as the first to perform, causing alarm amongst fans who think of the opening slot as the "death slot". Viewers took to social media to express their concerns, with one fan stating: "Reading that Tasha is in the death slot... F*** THIS SHOW man. Why are they doing everything to protect Pete." Another commented: "Tasha in the death slot? Interesting." One viewer speculated: "Why have they dressed Tasha up stupidly? Hope they aren't setting her up." The semi-final followed last weekend's results show when Olympian Montell Douglas and partner Johannes Radebe's were eliminated after facing Tasha and Aljaz in a surprise dance-off. Strictly Come Dancing is on BBC One and BBC iPlayerPresident-elect Donald Trump is underscoring his intention to block the purchase of U.S. Steel by Japanese steelmaker Nippon Steel Corp. , and he’s pledging to use tax incentives and tariffs to strengthen the iconic American steelmaker. Trump had vowed early in the presidential campaign that he would “instantaneously” block the deal, and he reiterated that sentiment in a post on his Truth Social platform on Monday night. “I am totally against the once great and powerful U.S. Steel being bought by a foreign company” and will use tax incentives and tariffs to make U.S. Steel “Strong and Great Again, and it will happen FAST!” he wrote. “As President,” he continued, “I will block this deal from happening. Buyer Beware!!!” | President Joe Biden , like Trump, also opposes Nippon Steel’s purchase of Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel. Biden’s White House in September said that it had yet to see a report from the secretive Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, which was reviewing the transaction for national security concerns. The committee, which is chaired by the treasury secretary and includes other Cabinet members, can recommend that the president block a transaction, and federal law gives the president that power. Ahead of the November election , the proposed merger carried political importance in Pennsylvania, a critical swing state that Trump eventually won. Biden publicly sided with the United Steelworkers, the labor union, in seeking to reject the deal. When he announced his opposition in a March statement , Biden said: “U.S. Steel has been an iconic American steel company for more than a century, and it is vital for it to remain an American steel company that is domestically owned and operated.” Nippon Steel has said it is the only company that can make the necessary investment in U.S. Steel’s factories and strengthen the American steel industry. Both Nippon Steel and U.S. Steel on Tuesday released statements in support of the acquisition. “This transaction should be approved on its merits. The benefits are overwhelmingly clear. Our communities, customers, investors, and employees strongly support this transaction, and we will continue to advocate for them and adherence to the rule of law,” U.S. Steel said. The deal follows a long stretch of protectionist U.S. tariffs that analysts say has helped reinvigorate domestic steel, including U.S. Steel. U.S. Steel’s shareholders have approved the deal, but the United Steelworkers oppose it. In a statement Tuesday, the union said the deal carries “serious long-term implications for U.S. economic and national security.” “It’s clear that President Trump understands the vital role a strong domestic steel industry plays in our national security, as well as the importance of the jobs and communities the industry supports,” the union said. The deal has drawn bipartisan opposition in the U.S. Senate, including from the incoming vice president, Republican Sen. JD Vanc e of Ohio, although the federal government’s objections to the deal have drawn criticism that the opposition is political. Some U.S. Steel workers would prefer Nippon Steel acquire the company, given that it appears to have a better financial balance sheet than another potential buyer, Cleveland-Cliffs. U.S. Steel “provided a very, very good life for our families for a lot of years,” said Jack Maskil, a vice president at the Steelworkers local branch in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. “And we feel that with the Nippon deal that a lot more families for futures to come will be able to share the same.” West Mifflin Mayor Chris Kelly said he met with Nippon Steel executives and found himself satisfied by their commitments. Located southeast of Pittsburgh, West Mifflin is home to U.S. Steel’s Mon Valley Works–Irvin Plant. “There’s no question in my mind that it’s the best deal moving forward,” Kelly said at a panel hosted on Tuesday by the conservative think tank Hudson Institute, where Maskil was also speaking. Trump’s statement came two weeks after Nippon Steel’s vice chairman, Takahiro Mori, visited Pittsburgh and Washington to meet with lawmakers, local officials and workers in an ongoing persuasion campaign. That campaign has included Nippon Steel’s promises to boost its capital commitments beyond the original deal and, more recently, a pledge that it won’t import steel slabs that would compete with U.S. Steel’s blast furnaces. As part of its proposed $14.9 billion purchase of U.S. Steel, Nippon Steel also pledged to invest at least $1.4 billion in USW-represented facilities, not to conduct layoffs or plant closings during the term of the basic labor agreement, and to protect the best interests of U.S. Steel in trade matters. —Marc Levy and Josh Boak, Associated Press The application deadline for Fast Company’s World Changing Ideas Awards is this Friday, December 6, at 11:59 p.m. PT.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has officially criticized “false claims” made by public safety technology provider , a move that could clear the path for some of the company’s clients to cancel their contracts. It is the latest controversy to emerge from the growing weapon- and in government technology. Based in Massachusetts, Evolv sells security screening systems backed by artificial intelligence that can detect weapons. Schools and have used the tools to help secure their operations. The , for instance, earlier this year signed a $5.46 million, four-year deal to use Evolv technology even as the FTC was investigating the marketing claims. In a settlement, the federal agency said Evolv “deceptively advertised” that its “scanners would detect all weapons” while ignoring “harmless” personal items carried by people, and via a process that required less labor than metal detectors. In reality, according to the FTC, the company’s technology “failed in several instances to detect weapons in schools while flagging harmless personal items typically brought to schools, like laptops, binders and water bottles.” In one instance, a knife missed by the company’s scanners was used in 2022 in a school stabbing, according to the agency. The company also advised schools to “add conveyor belts and other measures,” contradicting the labor-reduction claims. “To reduce false positive rates, Evolv in 2023 introduced a more sensitive setting for Express users with the goal of detecting more knives,” the FTC said. “Despite this, Evolv said some knives will be missed, more false alarms will occur and additional staffing may be required to run the machines.” More than 800 schools in 40 states have deployed Evolv weapons-detection scanners, according to the FTC. As part of the proposed settlement, Evolv would let some of its K-12 school clients — those who signed deals with the company between April 1, 2022, and June 30, 2023 — to cancel those contracts. , Evolv said that it “disagrees with the FTC’s allegations” and has not admitted wrongdoing, but has decided to resolve the issue so it can focus on its “core mission of protecting lives through innovation.” The company said the federal agency did not “challenge the core efficacy” of the company’s products, including its use of AI. “Instead, the focus of the inquiry was related to how the technology was described for a period of time in historical marketing materials,” the Evolv statement read. The proposed settlement of the FTC has no mention of any financial penalties. “We worked collaboratively with the FTC to resolve this matter and are pleased that the FTC did not challenge the fundamental effectiveness of our technology and that the resolution does not include any monetary relief,” said Mike Ellenbogen, interim president and CEO of Evolv Technology, in the statement. “We appreciated the opportunity to demonstrate for the FTC our Evolv Express system and our customers’ diligence in researching, testing and ultimately deploying our solution in myriad environments.” The proposed settlement prohibits the company from making “any misrepresentations about” the power of its products to detect weapons while ignoring “harmless personal items”; the accuracy and speed of its technology; comparative labor costs; testing; and “any material aspect of its performance,” an area that covers artificial intelligence. Evolv is hardly the only weapon- or gunshot-detection tech supplier to face recent scrutiny. In and , for instance, the use of ShotSpotter gunshot detection tools for police has attracted opposition, with debates involving the accuracy of the technology as well as . Potential violations of personal privacy also have sparked resistance to other competing technologies, as seen again in Chicago with an idea to use on mass transit.None
Saturday, December 21 is the shortest day of the year so we thought it would be a good time to appreciate the history of light bulbs. We walk into a dark room and flick a light switch and don’t think anything of it. But you are using one of the greatest inventions ever made. The light bulb led to new energy breakthroughs — from power plants and electric transmission lines to home appliances and electric motors. Research on the bulbs began more than 150 years ago and like most great inventions, the light bulb can’t be credited to one inventor. It was a series of small improvements on the ideas of previous inventors that have led to the light bulbs we use in our homes today. Here’s a timeline of key events and the evolution of our lighting. If you cannot read the graphic the text is below. You can learn more about global energy trends here. 1803 — 1809: First arc lamp created Humphry Davy demonstrated the first incandescent light to the Royal Institute in Great Britain, using a bank of batteries and two charcoal rods. Arc lamps provided many cities with their first electric streetlights. 1835: First constant electric light demonstrated James Bowman Lindsay demonstrated a constant electric light at a public meeting in Scotland. Some have credited him with being the inventor of the incandescent light bulb. 1850 — 1859: Lightning in a tube In the 19th century, two Germans discovered that they could produce light by removing almost all of the air from a long glass tube and passing an electrical current through it. Called Geissler tubes, they became the basis of many lighting technologies including fluorescent lights. 1877 — 1885: Competition for the incandescent light bulb heats up Inventors all across the world — including William Sawyer and Albon Man in the U.S. and Joseph Swan in England — worked on creating an electric incandescent lamp. 1882: Developing the lighting system Thomas Edison focused on the entire lighting grid, showing that it was possible to distribute electricity from a centrally located generator with the Holborn Viaduct in London and developing the first commercial power utility in lower Manhattan. 1901: Precursor to fluorescent lights Peter Cooper Hewitt created a blue-green light by passing an electric current through mercury vapor. The lights had few suitable uses because of the color but were one of the precursors to fluorescent lights. 1904: Out with the carbon filament and in with the tungsten In 1904, incandescent lamps with tungsten filaments appear on the European market. These bulbs lasted longer, were brighter and more efficient than lamps with carbon filaments. 1908: Edison screws Part of Edison’s contribution to the light bulb was the socket he developed, which today is called the Edison Screw. By 1908, it was the most commonly used light bulb socket used, and today, it is used for almost all residential lighting applications. 1913: Doubling the efficiency of incandescents Irving Langmuir discovered that filling a light bulb with inert gas-like nitrogen instead of vacuuming out the air doubled the light bulb’s efficiency. 1926 — 1934: Neon tubes By the late 1920s and early 1930s, European researchers were doing experiments with neon tubes coated with phosphors. Word of these experiments helped spark fluorescent lamp research in the U.S. 1951: Fluorescents overtake incandescents By 1951, more light in the U.S. was being produced by linear fluorescent lamps than incandescent — a change that was led by the need for efficient lighting during World War II. 1962: First light-emitting diode (LED) is invented While working for General Electric, Nick Holonyak Jr., invented the first visible-spectrum LED in the form of red diodes. Pale yellow and green diodes were invented next. 1973: Energy is not cheap The 1973 oil crisis marked a turning point in U.S. energy consumption because energy was no longer cheap. Researchers rose to the challenge and began developing fluorescent bulbs for residential use. 1976: Fluorescent bulbs go spiral In 1976, Edward Hammer at General Electric figured out how to bend the fluorescent tube into a spiral shape, creating the first compact fluorescent light. 1978: LEDs appear in consumer products As researchers improved red diodes and their manufacturing, companies began incorporating them into consumer products such as calculator displays and indicator lights. 1985: First compact fluorescent lamp hits the market Early CFLs hit the market in the mid-1980s and ranged from $25-$35 a bulb. 1994: First blue, then white LEDs The invention of the blue diode in the 1990s quickly led to the discovery of white LEDs. Shortly thereafter, researchers demonstrated white light using red, green and blue LEDs. This leads to development of high-definition flat screen TVs. 2000: Energy Department works to push LEDs forward In 2000, the Energy Department partnered with private industry to push white LED technology forward by creating a high-efficiency packaged LED device. 2002 — 2008: First residential LED bulb hits the market By 2008, there were just a few LED replacement bulbs on the market, and most were 25-40 watt equivalents. 2012: 49 million LED products installed In 2012 alone, more than 49 million LED products were installed in the U.S., saving about $675 million in annual energy costs. 2013: CFLs for as little as $1.74 Nearly 30 years after CFLs were first introduced on the market, their costs have dropped to as low as $1.74 a bulb. They also use about 75% less energy than incandescents and last about 10 times longer. 2013: LED costs drop dramatically Since 2008, the cost of LED bulbs has fallen more than 85%, and most recently, a number of retailers announced that they will be selling LEDs at $10 or less.
