Unrivaled signs LSU star Flau'jae Johnson to NIL deal
IRVINE, Calif. — Sims Lifecycle Services (SLS) has once again been recognized as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® “Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition. ” In our opinion, this acknowledgment, our fifth inclusion in the Market Guide , highlights SLS’s commitment to delivering world-class IT asset management and disposition solutions that meet the highest standards of data security, sustainability, compliance and value return. We feel this recognition of SLS as a Representative Vendor underscores the company’s strong position in the market and our ability to support global clients in managing the end-of-life cycle of IT assets. According to Gartner, “Sustainability requirements are compounding the ongoing ITAD challenges of data security and sound reuse/recycling. Sourcing, procurement and vendor management leaders can use this Market Guide to navigate the ITAD market, assess growing compliance risks and identify representative ITAD providers.” “In our view, being included again as a Representative Vendor in the 2024 Gartner® “Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition” is not just a recognition, it’s a validation of our commitment to excellence and innovation in IT asset disposition,” notes Sean Magann, chief commercial officer at Sims Lifecycle Services. “We believe this inclusion highlights our ability to innovate in ways that not only safeguard our clients’ data but also drive sustainability and efficiency. It’s proof that we’re not just adapting to change, we’re leading it.” While inadequate data security and environmentally harmful recycling continue to be the biggest risks within the ITAD market, the report focuses largely on the financial and environmental advantages of device reuse and states that “ITAD is increasingly focused on the environmental sustainability benefits of extending the lifecycle of technology assets to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and e-waste.” Refurbishment and redeployment of IT devices is expected to increase as organizations more fully recognize the carbon avoidance realized versus recycling. “ITAD,” the report maintains, “is crucial for IT sustainability, mitigating Scope 3 emissions and supporting the circular economy.” Gartner urges corporations to utilize industry-best ITAD vendors to “leverage the superior environmental sustainability (and budget) characteristics of asset reuse as your primary disposition process.” Sims Lifecycle Services provides solutions to extend the life of data center and enterprise IT assets, and the company recognizes the value in end-of-life electronics, components and materials. SLS works with hyperscale and cloud data centers to reuse and redeploy data center equipment. Fortune 500 companies are supported by SLS to navigate ongoing technology shifts by securely and responsibly managing the disposition of IT equipment and recycling of electronic products. IT asset disposition (ITAD) and electronics recycling services offered at SLS support the evolution of the electronics industry movement toward circularity. SLS clients benefit from data security, maximum IT value recovery, global compliance and sustainable IT use. As a responsible corporate citizen, and in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we continuously seek new ways to contribute to the circular economy.

Substitute Nick Woltemade scored a brace and captain Atakan Karazor his first-ever Bundesliga goal as VfB Stuttgart fought from two goals down to win 3-2 at home against Union Berlin. Union opened the scoring in the 37th minute from Danilho Doekhi's header which went in off the crossbar, with goalkeeper Alexander Nübel beaten. The visitors then struck again in the 48th when Robert Skov's intended cross fell into the far left corner of the net. But Woltemade, who came on in the second half, ran past goalkeeper Frederik Rönnow and fired into the roof of the net in the 51st. He followed that up by taking a through-ball from Karazor to flick the equaliser into the far right corner in the 59th. Rönnow then gifted Stuttgart the winner 10 minutes later when his bad pass under pressure fell straight to Karazor who converted into the bottom corner for his first goal in 118 top-flight games. Jordan Siebatcheu almost levelled after coming on when his deflected shot hit the crossbar, but Stuttgart held on for a fourth-straight victory over Union amid eerie silence in the final minutes after a reported medical emergency in the stands. "It is an amazing feeling to score," Karazor told streaming portal DAZN. "Nick was brutally important after coming on. He gave us a lot of strength. We are difficult to beat if we play like in the second half, and I hope that gives us motivation for the coming weeks." Stuttgart rose to sixth while Union remain 11th after a sixth league match without victory. Matchday 13 continues on Saturday and Sunday, with leaders Bayern Munich hosting Heidenheim, second-placed Eintracht Frankfurt playing Augsburg and third-placed champions Bayer Leverkusen facing St Pauli.Atalanta tops Serie A after late win over AC Milan while Inter goes 13 games unbeatenThe decentralized Twitter/X alternative social network Bluesky has updated its impersonation policy to fend off fake accounts from the platform in hopes of driving confidence among users that "the accounts they interact with are authentic." It detailed the several changes in a six-part announcement post made through the Bluesky Safety account. Bluesky said its is now more "aggressive" and will remove accounts indulged in impersonation and handle-squatting. It is also working with high-profile accounts on the platform to help them set up their verified domain handles. Bluesky's verification problem was in a third-party analysis, revealing that about 44% of the top 100 most followed accounts have at least one doppelganger account. Following user feedback wanting more ways to verify their identity, the social network is exploring ways to "enhance account verification" and will share updates in the future. The social network started as an invite-only platform but got an after it . As a result, Bluesky has piled up a backlog of moderation reports. It has now quadrupled the size of its moderation team to quickly process impersonation reports. Bluesky will allow parody, satire, and fan accounts. Still, the updated policy now requires such accounts to clearly label themselves in both the display name and bio to alert other users that the account isn't official. This is similar to how YouTube last year regarding fan accounts, taking a toll on accounts that try to impersonate others. Bluesky will attach an impersonation label for accounts that fail to convey their intention in any of these places. Identity churning is another thing that's on Bluesky's radar this time. It's the process of changing an account's identity to mislead users. For instance, if someone creates an impersonation account to attract followers and then switches to a different identity to keep that account. Bluesky said it will remove such accounts from its platform.

HOMB ("Home" or "the Company"), and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Centennial Bank ("Centennial"), announced it has established additional reserves for loan losses as a result of Hurricane Milton. On October 11, 2024, HOMB announced a $16.7 million reserve as a result of Hurricane Helene, which made landfall September 26, 2024. Upon announcement HOMB indicated the more recent and powerful Hurricane Milton, which made landfall on October 9, 2024, and caused the spin-off of more than two dozen tornados, would likely lead to an increase in this reserve amount.

"The two hurricanes spanned across the third and fourth quarter and the amount of time it takes for customers to settle with insurance will no doubt increase, with two back-to-back events," continued Allison. "We have approximately $110 million currently on deferral as a result of the two hurricanes and in keeping with our conservative nature, we feel as though this proactive move is a prudent and predictable course of action," added Allison.

FARGO — Jackson Williams pointed to the sky briefly after his 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown last Saturday put a jolt in North Dakota State and the fans that half-filled the Fargodome. Trailing 17-3 to Abilene Christian in the second quarter, the Bison needed something — anything — to get kick-started. Williams provided it, taking the kick four yards deep in the end zone and jetting up the right sideline. The point lasted just a moment, only until teammates Donovan Woolen, Hudson Artz, Will Steil and Chris Harris caught up to Williams in the dome's south end zone and mobbed the true freshman from Omaha, Neb. But there was a deeper meaning to Williams' gesture than usual. There was a deeper meaning to the touchdown than just a much-needed momentum boost for the Bison. "That one was for Harrell," Williams said Tuesday. Harrell Jackson, Jr. was struck by a car and killed in the early morning hours of Nov. 19 near Nebraska City, Neb., about 45 miles south of Omaha. He was 18 years old and a lifelong friend, classmate and high school football teammate of Williams. Jackson was walking on a highway at 5 a.m. wearing dark clothing. The Otoe County sheriff's office said it received phone calls about a pedestrian walking on the roadway and were responding, but Jackson was struck by a vehicle as deputies were on the way. Jackson and Williams were teammates on the football team at Millard West High School in Omaha. Jackson was also a standout in track and wrestling, winning the 157-pound state championship in February. The funeral was Nov. 26, a few days after Williams played in NDSU's regular-season finale at South Dakota. "In high school, every time I was back for a kick or a punt his dad would stand up and yell, 'Take it to the house!' So I loved that for him," Williams said. "I was talking to his dad after the funeral and he said, 'Little Rell is going to be with you. And when you catch that ball, he's going to part it like the Red Sea and you're going to take it to the house.'" Harrell, indeed, did his job. After Abilene Christian kicker Ritsie Vaes booted his first three kickoffs deep enough for touchbacks, Williams told his Bison teammates on the sideline that he was taking out the next one no matter what. "I told Mekhi Collins on the sideline, 'We need a spark to get us going a little bit, we need some fire. I'm taking this next one out of the end zone,'" Williams said. "He said, 'Please do.'" The Bison blocked it perfectly, starting with Marty Brown, as Williams sprinted out of the end zone up the seam and veered toward the right sideline. The speedster got to the end zone untouched. The sea had parted so much that by the time Williams hit the Bison 20 it was clear he was going the distance. The last Wildcats player with a chance to stop him was the kicker and Williams blew past him at midfield. The touchdown clearly energized the Bison and the smallish crowd of 10,373 that needed a boost. NDSU scored 31 straight points to take a 34-17 lead in the third quarter. Abilene Christian hung around for awhile, but the Bison won 51-31 to advance to Saturday's FCS playoffs quarterfinal against Mercer. "I think we all knew we were going to come back, as the Bison would, but I definitely think that helped get us there a little faster," Williams said. "It just got us going for the rest of the game." It continues a standout season for the slight 5-foot-11, 177-pound receiver. With Eli Green departing to Iowa State after spring practice, NDSU needed a returner. Bison coaches decided early in fall camp Williams would get a chance at the job as a true freshman. An outstanding center fielder for Omaha's well-regarded American Legion baseball team, Williams impressed with his sure hands and ability to circle the football and catch it properly on kicks and punts. Polasek said Williams didn't drop a ball until the Bison were a few weeks into fall camp. Williams didn't play at Colorado in the season opener and senior John Gores started the year as the punt returner. But Williams began returning kicks for the home opener against Tennessee State and replaced Gores as the punt returner against Towson in Week 4 at the dome. Williams made it a highlight, returning his first college punt 67 yards for a touchdown in that 41-28 victory. He's had a major impact since then. The Bison are third in the nation in kick returns and 18th punt returns. Polasek references a Bison great from the early dynasty days when describing Williams. "He's so level-headed. Inside there's this humble, confident, calm, collected guy, but on the outside he's on the attack all the time. That's the right mind-set," Polasek said. "Ryan Smith did it as a young returner and I would compare those guys' demeanor. Just workmanline all the time."
JM Financial has a buy call on Godrej Consumer Products with a target price of Rs 1415. The current market price of Godrej Consumer Products is Rs 1130.75. Godrej Consumer Products, incorporated in 2000, is a Large Cap company with a market cap of Rs 115370.49 crore, operating in the FMCG sector. Godrej Consumer Products' key products/revenue segments include Personal Care and Other Operating Revenue for the year ending 31-Mar-2024. Financials For the quarter ended 30-09-2024, the company has reported a Consolidated Total Income of Rs 3752.32 crore, up 10.08 % from last quarter Total Income of Rs 3408.69 crore and up 2.30% from last year same quarter Total Income of Rs 3667.88 crore. The company has reported net profit after tax of Rs 491.31 crore in the latest quarter. Investment Rationale Godrej Consumer Products Ltd 's (GCPL's) business update for Q3FY25 points to weaker than expected performance. India business is expected to report flat volumes (vs +7-8% in 1H) due to likely volume decline in Soaps (pricing actions impacts wholesale/HH inventory) and moderation in volume growth for HI (delayed winter in North/cyclone in South). While the management had called out possible volume impact on Soaps in its Q2FY25 conference call, unfavourable weather led impact on HI came as a negative surprise. The impact on India EBITDA margins is also likely to be higher than envisaged (temporary downward breach of normative margin range of 24-27% vs earlier commentary of 24-25% margins in near term).

JM Financial cut its FY25-27E earnings by 4-7% to factor in weak (margins) Q3. 4QFY25E will be a key quarter for Soaps (how volumes shape up considering pricing actions & competitive intensity from HUL) and HI (mgmt. hoping to see conclusive results of new molecule-based LV from 4Q). In the brokerage's view, current challenges are more transient in nature. They keep their faith ? the execution machinery put in place will yield fruits over the medium-term though stock is likely to be lacklustre till some signs of success start to become visible.
