(ZETA) Failed to Disclose it was Artificially Inflating Financial Results According to the complaint, on November 13, 2024, market research group Culper Research published a report entitled "Zeta Global Holdings Corp (ZETA): Shams, Scams, and Spam.” The report alleged that the “integrity of the Company’s data collection and reported financials” is severely undermined by two factors. First, the report alleged that “Zeta has formed ‘two-way’ contracts with third party consent farms wherein the Company simultaneously acts as both a supplier and a buyer of consumer data,” allowing the Company to “flatter reported revenue growth” and indicating possible “round-tripping” of revenue. Second, the report alleged that Zeta’s collects the majority of its customer data from a network of “sham websites that hoodwink millions of consumers each month into handing their data over to Zeta under false pretenses.” For example, the report alleged the Company and its subsidiaries operate a number of fake job boards which are designed to trick individuals into submitting personal data under the pretense of job applications. The report further alleged that the Company’s “most valuable data” comes from these predatory websites, dubbed consent farms, which are “responsible for almost the entirety of the Company’s growth.” On this news, the Company’s stock price fell $10.46, or 37.07%, to close at $17.76 per share on November 13, 2024. Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) Zeta used two-way contracts to artificially inflate financial results; (2) Zeta engaged in round trip transactions to artificially inflate financial results; (3) Zeta utilized predatory consent farms to collect user data; and (4) that these consent farms have driven almost the entirety of Zeta’s growth.

View Master The Barley|Pfeiffer Architecture team designed the VISION House Austin for Robert and Judi George. The Georges chose to build their custom home on a two-acre site adjacent to their current home because of their deep appreciation for their Hill Country neighborhood outside Austin. "From this location we can see five or six miles of views of rolling hills,” says Robert. "The new site has an even better view because there are fewer trees obstructing the vista.” A Roof That Stands Up to Heat One example of a resilient design best practice on the VISION House Austin is the Fabral metal roof. It is designed to be lifted off the roof deck with 1-by-4 lath, and the then the builder ventilates the air cavity from a space between the drip edge and fascia boards. This air space, combined with the Galvalume finish, acts as a solar heat radiant barrier and effectively places the entire home under a shading umbrella lan Barley and Pfeiffer, co-owners of the firm, are big believers in layering. They start with a deep study of the site they're working with and design a home that complements the location and their client's preferences. Next, they layer in sustainable products and systems that will enhance the performance of a well-designed and carefully built home. Because this house needs to perform well in a hot climate, the design team selected products that would hold up to the heat. They also leaned on design to achieve performance, such as overhangs to create shade and positioning each house appropriately on its site. They also focus on innovations that have made it easier to build a resilient, sustainable, high-performance house. "The intelligent design enhances energy efficiency by reducing the heating and cooling load,” Green Builder CEO Sara Gutterman explains. "Resilient materials increase the home's ability to withstand nature's fury. And an integrated solar + battery storage system ensures that the house will remain functional in the event of an extreme climate event or power outage." Most important, Gutterman notes, is that the VISION House Austin demonstrates how sustainable architecture can be affordable and practical for everyday living, and that a home with lower carbon footprint can lead to a higher quality of life for homeowners. The design team of VISION House Austin is dedicated to combining new innovations with their decades of experience to create a home that embraces the natural world and contributes to sustainability.

A Resilient House in Texas Raises the Bar on Home Performance
RGC Resources, Inc. Raises Annual Dividend to $0.83 per ShareMarcos López de Prado, a visiting professor in Cornell Engineering’s School of Operations Research and Information Engineering, has received the Officer’s Cross of the Royal Order of Civil Merit, which represents a knighthood and one of Spain’s highest honors, in recognition of his “distinguished services to science and the global investment industry.” The award was presented on behalf of King Felipe VI and the government of Spain by H.E. Íñigo de Palacio España, the Spanish ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, at a ceremony in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 21. Knights and Dames of the Order are appointed for their outstanding service to society. They are rewarded with certain legal privileges, such as a formal style of address, a heraldic achievement, a diploma and the use of insignia of the Order. Professor Marcos López de Prado (center) with Steven Chu, Stanford University professor and Nobel laureate in physics (left), and Guido Imbens, Stanford University professor and Nobel laureate in economics. “As both a professor and a fund manager, I have worked for the past 25 years to advance our field, developing AI algorithms that make investing more evidence-based, systematic and reliable,” López de Prado said. “I hope this accolade draws further attention to the financial applications of AI and supercomputing, which benefit society by enabling better decision-making and public policy design.” In addition to his role at Cornell, where he has been teaching financial machine learning and directing student projects in the Cornell Financial Engineering Manhattan program since 2015, López de Prado is a research fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and is the Global Head of Quantitative Research and Development at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), one of the largest sovereign wealth funds. He is a founding board member of ADIA Lab, an independent institution engaged in basic and applied research in data science, AI, machine learning and high-performance computing. “Don Marcos has been a driving force in the modernization of finance, pioneering AI algorithms that are now widely adopted at some of the world’s largest investment firms. He brings a deep reservoir of knowledge and decades of industry experience to the courses he teaches for our M.Eng. students,” said Kathryn Caggiano, associate dean for Master of Engineering Programs. “This knighthood is a testament to the significant social impact of his academic contributions, and we are thrilled to have him as a member of our Cornell academic community.” The ceremony was attended by several renowned scientists, including Nobel laureates in physics, chemistry and economics, and two Turing Award winners, as well as dignitaries from a number of countries. López de Prado said this particular honor — which adds to a long list of achievements and recognitions, including multiple patents and numerous scientific and industry awards — holds special personal and professional significance. “I would not have earned this highly coveted distinction without the unwavering support of my family, friends and countless colleagues, including those at Cornell,” he said. “This knighthood is also for them, and I will wear its insignia in their name with pride, and with profound gratitude toward His Majesty King Felipe VI.”Sports on TV for Sunday, Dec. 8

Professor Sean Tweedy used to be a classifier for international paralympic sport. or signup to continue reading It was his job to determine how an athlete's disability affected their ability to perform their sport. "I'd ask them to do certain activities and they'd say 'look, I'll do as well as I can for you but you've got to know my disability is more severe than this', Prof Tweedy told AAP on Tuesday. "I should be in a class with more severe disabilities, it's only because I've worked so hard that I can do these things." And so began a scientific quest to determine whether performance-driven sport could arrest the motor function decline of disabled athletes. With the support of the University of Queensland, the paraSTART program was created. Prof Tweedy says people with severe disabilities are an under-studied population. So his team selected three people with severe cerebral palsy who had never swum before to participate in a training regime that replicated that of an elite para-athlete. Nate Woolgar was one of those who joined in 2017. "I was very keen to learn to swim because I was actually kind of tired of being anxious around swimming pools," he told AAP. The program included two-to-three weekly swimming sessions, along with strength and conditioning work as well as a diet regime and sleep training. "We were mostly managing drowning risks in the first few weeks, they were genuinely learning to swim, Prof Tweedy said. "It was about six-to-12 months before they would start to do sessions that weren't just about staying afloat - they were able to physically exert themselves." The athletes were asked to stick around for a year, but seven years later they are all still going - with 24 more people joining the training program. "There have been some very challenging times, but there's been no times where I felt that I wanted to stop", Mr Woolgar said. Despite not being able to stand or walk independently, they can all now swim a kilometre. While medium-to-mild cerebral palsy is generally not degenerative, people with severe CP often experience a decline from the age of nine to through to adolescence. But all three athletes in the program defied that typical decline by improving their motor function. Prof Tweedy described the results as "phenomenal". He said he would have been prepared to make the argument that if there wasn't any motor improvement the participants still got a whole lot our of it. "They made friends, they felt good about themselves, they're swimming faster, and they're into a sport that gave them a sense of purpose." Mr Woolgar is one of the cohort's strongest swimmers with a promising future, alongside his swimming mate Jamie Booth who is a national record holder. "My goal for the program right now is to reach the Queensland state times for people in my swimming class, and I'm two seconds off, Mr Woolgar said. Prof Tweedy hopes more funding could see the program expand to help people with severe disabilities who are "not even getting in pool, or to the start line". "The creation of opportunities would start to reduce the likelihood they have never swum before and make champions out of them," he said. It's not about creating elite athletes, but rather giving those often overlooked in the sporting arena a chance to experience the benefits that come with it. "My mental state has definitely improved because of all the exercise I'm doing, Mr Woolgar said. "And in terms of the body, I definitely feel fitter and stronger. So that's just been, overall for my everyday life, it's been really, really good." DAILY Today's top stories curated by our news team.

How Barbie Project Friendship Imparts an Important Lesson to Kids By ComingSoon spoke to Outright Games producer Ester Zanón about , Barbie Project Friendship. While there are plenty of fun mini-games that kids and parents can play together, it also has a crucial message about making a difference in their community. It is now available on consoles and PC. “It’s a Barbie game like no other! Try new things with friends and family, like caring for pets with Barbie’s sisters, making ice cream with Ken, renovating the arcade with Teresa, customizing scooters with Nikki, or performing a new song with Daisy as your DJ... and what Barbie adventure would be complete without an epic musical finale? Everyone will want to help Barbie and Barbie restore the community center and have a lot of fun along the way,” says the official description for Barbie Project Friendship. : Variety! Setting aside the technical improvement in consoles since the last title from 2015, in Barbie Project Friendship we tried to balance narrative with minigames and activities, giving our players plenty of material to interact with Malibu Waves while getting fully immersed in Malibu and Brooklyn’s summer adventure. Developing a videogame is always a team effort, and in this case it was no different: from Outright Games, we always get immersed in the lore of the IP we are working with alongside our development teams, which made an astonishing work this time. But we also teamed up with Mattel to ensure we portrayed such important characters faithfully for all fans’ enjoyment. For us it is very important to give our players experiences that they truly enjoy. We know that young players really appreciate playing in co-op with their families and friends, thus it was crucial for us to have this option available in the minigames, where the gameplay experience benefits the most from the co-op feature. It was crucial. Barbie has a long tradition as an inspiring figure and we wanted to be loyal with it, as we completely share her values. In my opinion, Barbie and Barbie’s collaborative spirit, working together and with their friends on restoring a cultural place for the surrounding community -and succeeding!- is the kind of story we all need these days, not just children. Precisely because of Barbie’s long history we knew both Malibu and Brooklyn were up for anything! We tried to have minigames and activities that make sense within the current canon and the characters portrayed in the game, but always keeping in mind what could also work in the Malibu Waves Community Center. Mattel’s input was also key on this aspect, helping us and the development teams to get the best Barbie video game experience for consoles.

Arsenal delivered the statement Champions League win Mikel Arteta had demanded as they swept aside Sporting Lisbon 5-1. Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. Our second-half goalscorers ❤️ pic.twitter.com/aFCIMffFaK — Arsenal (@Arsenal) November 26, 2024 To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.

South Korean politics is in turmoil as former Defence Minister Kim Yong-hyun faces arrest following President Yoon Suk Yeol's controversial martial law declaration. Yoon, who narrowly escaped impeachment, is now under investigation alongside Kim for treason, as reported by Yonhap News Agency. The political landscape shifted dramatically when Yoon attempted to employ martial law to eliminate what he termed as 'anti-state forces,' only to revoke the order six hours later. This abrupt action prompted three minority opposition parties to file a treason complaint against Yoon and his key aides. Observers view this development as South Korea's most significant political crisis in decades, threatening its status as a democratic stronghold and putting internal stability at risk. The national police and prosecutors continue to probe the events, with Kim facing restricted travel during ongoing investigations. (With inputs from agencies.)
