Pep Guardiola admits the buck stops with him as Manchester City bid to arrest their dramatic slump in form. The champions crashed to a fifth straight defeat in all competitions – something not experienced by the club in more than 18 years – as they were thrashed 4-0 by Tottenham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The loss, which was also a third in succession in the Premier League and shattered a 52-game unbeaten home run, damaged the club’s hopes of winning an unprecedented fifth title in a row. City have lost their last five games in succession, their worst run for 18 years (Martin Rickett/PA) The Catalan said: “When we start to lose I say to the people I have to find a way, I have to. It’s my duty, my responsibility, to find a way to be more consistent, that our game will be better and win games. “This is what we have to do.” City have been hampered by injuries to key players in recent weeks, particularly by the absence of Ballon d’Or-winning midfielder Rodri, who has been sidelined for the remainder of the season. Problems have emerged at both ends of the field with a lack of clean sheets – just five in 19 outings this term – and a shortage of goals being scored on occasions, like Saturday, when the prolific Erling Haaland has an off-day. Guardiola said: “We don’t expect to lose important players but it’s happened and you have to find a way. We have to find other abilities. Haaland endured a frustrating afternoon against Spurs (Martin Rickett/PA) “Of course we want a lot of players to score but it’s happened now. “I know at the Etihad when we are there and we score goals our momentum is there, but now we are not solid enough. That is the truth. “In both sides normally we are solid but we concede the goals. Now in both sides we are not good enough. “In these situations, what do you have do to? Keep going my friends, keep going. “We have done it in the past – not in terms of results being as bad as now – but we have done it and we face the situation and move forward.”Johor-Singapore SEZ poised to fuel next-level growth for Malaysia and Singapore: Standard Chartered Malaysia CEO
( MENAFN - Daily News Egypt) Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of health and Population, met with Karim Saada, CEO and Managing Director of Al-Ahly Capital- the investment arm of the National bank of Egypt (NBE)- and his accompanying delegation on Wednesday at the Ministry of Health and Population. The meeting focused on exploring ways to enhance investment opportunities within Egypt's health sector, emphasizing community collaboration between state institutions to strengthen healthcare. During the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister underscored the importance of deepening the national investment partnership between the two parties, aligning with the country's vision to promote community participation in sustainable development. Abdel Ghaffar emphasized that the government offers a range of promising investment opportunities in the health sector. The Ministry of Health is working to attract both local and international investments, aiming to improve the quality of medical services provided to citizens. He also highlighted the critical role of private sector partnerships, particularly as the government moves forward with its comprehensive health insurance system across the country, as part of the directives set by the political leadership. The discussion also covered the recently introduced law aimed at streamlining investment procedures in Egypt. This law is designed to facilitate investments by offering various incentive packages and necessary support for health sector projects. The Minister reiterated the government's commitment to overcoming any challenges that may hinder investment in healthcare. Another key topic was the future of radiology services in Egypt. The delegation explored investment opportunities in this area, recognizing its importance in improving healthcare delivery. Abdel Ghaffar stressed the need to fully harness the potential of Egypt's health system to provide optimal services to citizens. Karim Saada, CEO of Al-Ahly Capital, expressed the company's strong commitment to investing in Egypt's health sector.

What’s more, none other than Panos Panay himself extended the generosity by personally handing out the Kindle devices to the public and company employees who stopped by the banana stand at the Amazon headquarters in Seattle. Panos Panay shouldn’t be a stranger to tech enthusiasts, having served in key positions at Microsoft and is credited with having developed the Surface line of products there. At Amazon, he is serving as the senior vice president of Devices and Services. Here he is involved with not only e-readers but a host of other devices and services. That includes Alexa, Fire range of tablets, Echo devices, Fire TVs, and Zoox self-driving taxis. Apart from these, Panay is also looking into Project Kuiper, Amazon’s satellite business. Meanwhile, the Kindle Paperwhite device being provided otherwise costs $159. Imagine the glee on the faces of those who got a new Kindle Paperwhite who had just been expecting bananas instead. The icing on the cake is receiving it from Panay himself. The senior vice president also took pride in describing the new Kindle Paperwhite as the fastest and yet the thinnest Kindle they have ever come up with. The company described it as a surprise giveaway and a fun way to connect with their prospective customer. However, it ruled out organizing any such giveaway anytime in the foreseeable future. The new 2024 Kindle Paperwhite comes with a 7-inch e-paper display. Battery lasts several weeks while the device offers 25 percent faster page turns along with a higher contrast ratio. The built-in front light can turn from white to amber to match the ambient lighting conditions so that you always have the most optimum reading experience. The Paperwhite also boasts a waterproof build while the device itself is made from 29 percent recycled materials. The internal structural frame is made from 90 percent recycled magnesium. Right now, it is selling for post a 16 percent discount. With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.

DENVER , Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - The Board of Trustees (the "Board") of Principal Real Estate Income Fund (the "Fund"), announced today that it has approved a renewal of the Fund's share repurchase program. Under the share repurchase program, the Fund may purchase up to approximately 2.1% of its outstanding common shares beginning January 21, 2025 , in the open market, until January 21, 2026 . As part of its evaluation of options to enhance shareholder value, the Board has authorized ALPS Advisors, Inc. (the "Advisor") to repurchase the Fund's common shares at such times and in such amounts as the Advisor reasonably believes may enhance shareholder value. The Board and the Advisor continually analyze options to enhance shareholder value and potentially reduce the discount between the market price of the Fund's common share and the net asset value per share ("NAV"). The Board and the Advisor believe that the share repurchase program may further these goals because the program allows the Fund to acquire its shares in the open market at a discount to NAV, which will increase the NAV and thereby benefit remaining shareholders while potentially providing additional liquidity in the trading of the fund shares. The Board will monitor the repurchase program and will continue to consider strategic options to enhance shareholder value in the long-term. The Fund's repurchase program will be implemented on a discretionary basis under the direction of the Advisor. There is no assurance that the Fund will purchase shares at any specific discount level or in any specific amount or that the market price of the Fund's shares will increase as a result of any share repurchases. RISKS An investment in the Fund is not appropriate for all investors and is not intended to be a complete investment program. The Fund is designed as a long-term investment and not as a trading vehicle. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or even all of your investment and exposure to below-investment grade investments (i.e., "junk bonds"). The Fund's net asset value will vary and its distribution rate may vary and both may be affected by numerous factors, including changes in the market spread over a specified benchmark, market interest rates and performance of the broader equity markets. Fluctuations in net asset value may be magnified as a result of the Fund's use of leverage. Therefore, before investing you should carefully consider the risks that you assume when you invest in the Fund's common shares. Securities backed by commercial real estate assets are subject to market risks similar to those of direct ownership of commercial real estate assets including, but not limited to, declines in the value of real estate, declines in rental or occupancy rates and risks related to general and local economic conditions. The Fund's investment objectives and policies are not designed to seek to return the initial investment to investors that purchase shares. An investor should consider investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.
