Global Medical Robots Market Set For 20.4% Growth, Reaching $34.15 Billion By 2028Liverpool are top of the Premier League, top of the Champions League and yet Arne Slot is thinking about the improvements to come. There’s little concern that the Dutchman is resting on his laurels after a sensational start to life on Merseyside. Nor will his players be allowed to. Liverpool are four points clear in the Premier League and on their way to the last-16 of the European Cup. They’ve got a Carabao Cup quarter-final against Southampton next month, too. Mo Salah has been one of the driving forces this season. He’s scored 16 goals - 13 in the league - and provided 12 assists. Virgil van Dijk has been brilliant at the back, Ryan Gravenberch a revelation in midfield as a No.6 and the likes of Alexis Mac Allister and Curtis Jones thriving. But there’s more to come from someone like Dominik Szoboszlai while Harvey Elliott is back fit and among the squad, as well as Diogo Jota and we still haven’t seen what Federico Chiesa will bring. YOU DECIDE! Cast your vote for Fans' Footballer of the Year 2024 “We're not flying but we are doing well.” said Slot as yet again he tempered excitement around their stunning start. “I think there is more to come from the players into the team than we have showed until now. But I think that is something every manager feels. The longer you work with a team the more the better you start to play and the more they are used to playing together. “But that is not only for us that is probably the same for a couple of other teams as well that there is more to come from them as well. We truly believe that we can... OK there are a few that maybe it is not so easy to get more out of them individually - but as a team we can do better and there is is definitely more to come from a few individuals, also because of their age. “And that is the positive thing about the squad I inherited, most of them are still quite young and the best years normally are still to come." With players returning to fitness, it will be also about managing minutes for Slot - whose side face Fulham on Saturday - in a busy schedule of games. “Although these players have done really well and sometimes that is the challenge we have now that if all the players are available they also still have to accept their roles,” he said. “And that is something we talk about a lot with the players. But I have no complaints at all about that up till now. “So everyone is very positive trying to get the best out of the team but the more players available the more difficult choices there are. "But in a season where it has been Harvey, it has been Alisson, it has been Jota [injured] so hopefully they are all available now for the rest of the season but probably that [a fully fit squad] is never going to happen so that is why we need players like Harvey and Wataru [Endo], all these players, for the second half of the season because there will become a moment when we are definitely going to need them."

LA Galaxy wins the 2024 MLS Cup after a long decade of chasing the titleSEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The president of South Korea early Wednesday lifted the martial law he imposed on the country hours earlier, bending to political pressure after a tense night in which troops surrounded parliament and lawmakers voted to reject military rule. President Yoon Suk Yeol, who appeared likely to be impeached over his actions, imposed martial law late Tuesday out of frustration with the opposition, vowing to eliminate “anti-state” forces as he struggles against opponents who control parliament and that he accuses of sympathizing with communist North Korea. Police and military personnel were seen leaving the grounds of parliament following the bipartisan vote to overrule the president, and the declaration was formally lifted around 4:30 a.m. during a Cabinet meeting. Parliament acted swiftly after martial law was imposed, with National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik declaring that the law was “invalid” and that lawmakers would “protect democracy with the people.” In all, martial law was in effect for about six hours. The president’s surprising move harkened back to an era of authoritarian leaders that the country has not seen since the 1980s, and it was immediately denounced by the opposition and the leader of Yoon’s own conservative party. Lee Jae-myung , leader of the liberal Democratic Party, which holds the majority in the 300-seat parliament, said the party’s lawmakers would remain in the Assembly’s main hall until Yoon formally lifted his order. Woo applauded how troops quickly left the Assembly after the vote. “Even with our unfortunate memories of military coups, our citizens have surely observed the events of today and saw the maturity of our military,” Woo said. While announcing his plan to lift martial law, Yoon continued to criticize parliament’s attempts to impeach key government officials and senior prosecutors. He said lawmakers had engaged in “unscrupulous acts of legislative and budgetary manipulation that are paralyzing the functions of the state.” Jo Seung-lae, a Democratic lawmaker, claimed that security camera footage following Yoon’s declaration showed that troops moved in a way that suggested they were trying to arrest Lee, Woo and even Han Dong-hoon, the leader of Yoon’s People Power Party. Officials from Yoon’s office and the Defense Ministry did not respond to requests for comment early Wednesday. Seemingly hundreds of protesters gathered in front of the Assembly, waving banners and calling for Yoon’s impeachment. Some protesters scuffled with troops ahead of the lawmakers’ vote, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or major property damage. At least one window was broken as troops attempted to enter the Assembly building. One woman tried unsuccessfully to pull a rifle away from one of the soldiers, while shouting “Aren’t you embarrassed?” Under South Korea’s constitution, the president can declare martial law during “wartime, war-like situations or other comparable national emergency states” that require the use of military force to maintain peace and order. It was questionable whether South Korea is currently in such a state. When martial law is declared, “special measures” can be employed to restrict freedom of press, freedom of assembly and other rights, as well as the power of courts. The constitution also states that the president must oblige when the National Assembly demands the lifting of martial law with a majority vote. Following Yoon’s announcement of martial law, South Korea’s military proclaimed that parliament and other political gatherings that could cause “social confusion” would be suspended, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said. The military said anyone who violated the decree could be arrested without a warrant. In Washington, the White House said the U.S. was “seriously concerned” by the events in Seoul. A spokesperson for the National Security Council said President Joe Biden’s administration was not notified in advance of the martial law announcement and was in contact with the South Korean government. Pentagon spokesman Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder said there was no effect on the more than 27,000 U.S. service members based in South Korea. The South Korean military also said that the country’s striking doctors should return to work within 48 hours, Yonhap said. Thousands of doctors have been striking for months over government plans to expand the number of students at medical schools. Soon after martial law was declared, the parliament speaker called on his YouTube channel for all lawmakers to gather at the National Assembly. He urged military and law enforcement personnel to “remain calm and hold their positions. All 190 lawmakers who participated in the vote supported the lifting of martial law. At one point, television footage showed police officers blocking the entrance of the National Assembly and helmeted soldiers carrying rifles in front of the building. An Associated Press photographer saw at least three helicopters, likely from the military, that landed inside the Assembly grounds, while two or three helicopters circled above the site. The leader of Yoon’s conservative party called the decision to impose martial law “wrong.” Lee, who narrowly lost to Yoon in the 2022 presidential election, said Yoon’s announcement was “illegal and unconstitutional.” Yoon said during a televised speech that martial law would help “rebuild and protect” the country from “falling into the depths of national ruin.” He said he would “eradicate pro-North Korean forces and protect the constitutional democratic order.” “I will eliminate anti-state forces as quickly as possible and normalize the country,” he said, while asking the people to believe in him and tolerate “some inconveniences.” Yoon — whose approval rating dipped in recent months — has struggled to push his agenda against an opposition-controlled parliament since taking office in 2022. His party has been locked in an impasse with the liberal opposition over next year’s budget bill. The opposition has also attempted to impeach three top prosecutors, including the chief of the central Seoul prosecutors’ office, in what the conservatives have called a vendetta against their criminal investigations of Lee, who has been seen as the favorite for the next presidential election in 2027 in opinion polls. During his televised announcement, Yoon also described the opposition as “shameless pro-North Korean anti-state forces who are plundering the freedom and happiness of our citizens.” He did not elaborate. Yoon has taken a hard line on North Korea over its nuclear ambitions, departing from the policies of his liberal predecessor, Moon Jae-in, who pursued inter-Korean engagement. Yoon has also dismissed calls for independent investigations into scandals involving his wife and top officials, drawing quick, strong rebukes from his political rivals. Yoon’s move was the first declaration of martial law since the country’s democratization in 1987. The country’s last previous martial law was in October 1979, following the assassination of former military dictator Park Chung-hee. Sydney Seiler, Korean chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, argued that the move was symbolic for Yoon to express his frustration with the opposition-controlled parliament. “He has nothing to lose,” said Seiler, comparing Yoon’s move to the Hail Mary pass in American football, with a slim chance of success. Now Yoon faces likely impeachment, a scenario that was also possible before he made the bold move, Seiler said. Natalia Slavney, research analyst at the Stimson Center’s 38 North website that focuses on Korean affairs, said Yoon’s imposition of martial law was “a serious backslide of democracy" that followed a “worrying trend of abuse” since he took office in 2022. South Korea “has a robust history of political pluralism and is no stranger to mass protests and swift impeachments,” Slavney said, citing the example of former President Park Geun-hye, the country’s first female president, who was ousted from office and imprisoned for bribery and other crimes in 2017 . Associated Press writers Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul, South Korea, and Matt Lee, Didi Tang and Tara Copp in Washington contributed to this report.

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said the former president died Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia.Harris: Fine Gael ‘will gain seats’ amid further fragmentation of Irish politics
Key Oxygen Flow Meters Market Trend 2024-2033: Advancement in High-Flow Oxygen Therapy ProductsCitigroup Forecasts Strong Price Appreciation for Dollar Tree (NASDAQ:DLTR) StockThe S&P 500 index ( ^GSPC 0.25% ) has risen roughly 33% over the past year, which is a very large increase in a very short period of time. It is hitting all-time highs on a regular basis. It isn't unreasonable for investors to look at the S&P 500 index and think that, perhaps, its valuation is getting a little stretched. If that thought has passed through your mind, you might want to consider buying the Invesco S&P GARP ETF ( SPGP -0.12% ) . Here's why. A big problem with Wall Street Benjamin Graham , the man who helped train the Oracle of Omaha (a k a Warren Buffett ), had a story that he used in order to explain Wall Street called "Mr. Market." To paraphrase Graham, investors are basically partners in a business with a fellow named Mr. Market. He tends to have extreme emotional swings. One day, he will be downbeat and will sell you his piece of the business on the cheap. The next day, Mr. Market will be in an upbeat mood and will pay what seems like an unrealistically high price for your piece of the business. You never know beforehand what mood Mr. Market will be in. That's a pretty nice description of Wall Street, which has a very bad habit of going to extremes on both the upside and the downside. The problem, of course, is in identifying when Mr. Market is being unrealistic. Sometimes, the pessimism and enthusiasm will be spot on, while at other times, it will be misplaced. This is a relevant story right now because the massive increase in the value of the S&P 500 index over the past year has pushed it to all-time highs. The average price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 500 index is around 28. That's not a low figure and would normally be associated with a company that was expected to grow materially over the near term. The S&P 500 index is a cherry-picked list of companies that are large and economically important, but not every company is a growth stock. And just three stocks make up 20% of the index right now, with the top five accounting for a bit more than 25%. That's a lot of concentration for an index that owns roughly 500 stocks, suggesting that right now, Mr. Market's enthusiasm for a small list of companies is driving the overall index's performance. SPY total return price; data by YCharts. Growth at a reasonable price to the rescue While investors can just grit their teeth and hope for the best, there is another option. You can buy the Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF . It starts with the S&P 500 index, but then takes sales-per-share-growth, earnings-per-share-growth, P/E ratios, financial leverage, and return on equity into consideration. All in, the goal isn't just to find cheap stocks, but to find reasonably priced stocks that are backed by growing businesses -- thus the GARP, for growth at a reasonable price, in the name. SPY total return price, data by YCharts. From the 500 or so stocks in the S&P 500 index, the Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF ends up with a portfolio of around 75 holdings. The really interesting part: The average P/E ratio is only around 14, which is roughly half of the full S&P 500 index's P/E of 28. If you have a value bias (or are just worried about the lofty level of the market), that should be a very interesting statistic. The Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF is a long-term story Over the past year, the Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF's performance has lagged the S&P 500 index. That's not shocking given that a small number of companies have been driving the S&P 500 index higher. And since only one of the top five holdings in these two funds overlaps, it is clear that the GARP ETF is doing something very different with its portfolio. That said, as the chart above highlights, the Invesco S&P 500 GARP ETF's long-term performance has proved to be attractive relative to the S&P 500 index. And the best time to buy it, judging from the zigs and zags of the market, is often when the GARP approach has lagged behind for a little while ... just like it is doing right now.
