Marta's magic helped get the Pride to Saturday's NWSL title game against the Washington SpiritNicole Velez weighed 244 pounds at her heaviest in November 2023. The 31-year-old who works in a members' lounge at a Florida airport struggled with self-confidence. A 60-minute outpatient procedure helped her lose over 100 pounds because it curbed her appetite. My job is welcoming members to lounge. "Are you new here?" customers often ask. "No," I'll reply. "I've checked you in many times before." They can't believe that I'm the same person I was 11 months ago. It's because I've lost 109 pounds after a non-surgical procedure. My portion sizes are about a quarter of what they used to be. I feel full after eating much smaller amounts. My new figure has given me a lot of confidence and a new lease on life. My weight has been up and down my whole life. I started dieting at 9. It was triggered by an unkind comment from a boy up and down a hill. "Wow, you're fat and you can rollerblade?" he said. I went home and looked in the mirror. In my mind, I saw a large person staring back at me. I regretted raiding the fridge for pizza and eating sugary cereal with sweet, condensed milk. But I couldn't stop myself as an emotional eater. As I got older, I realized I could get through a 4,000 calorie meal and remain hungry. Over the years, I tried every diet under the sun. In my 20s, I lost 60 pounds but regained it within months with an extra 20 pounds on top. I suffered aches and pains, despite my young age. My back hurt. Everything hurt. I had to slide out of bed because I was too heavy to pull myself up. Then, last year, at 244 pounds — far too heavy for my 5ft 6in frame — I was . It was a shock. "I either have to change my ways, or this disease will kill me," I thought. I looked for solutions on the internet. I chance upon a , which cost me $11,000. It was approved by the FDA in 2022. The procedure I had was an hour-long endoscopic treatment that shrinks the stomach by 70%, causing a reduced capacity to take in food. The doctors told me it alters gut hormone signaling, leading to reduced appetite and increased feelings of fullness. I didn't notice any side effects. I took one day off work and . I lost exactly 45 pounds in 45 days. Then I graduated to protein shakes and regular food, including raw, vegan meals. I make sure to drink at least a gallon of water a day. The weight came off quickly. I now weigh 135 pounds. I went from a size 18 to a size 0 and had to buy a new wardrobe. Best of all, my bloodwork showed I was no longer pre-diabetic. My confidence is much better. I have a good social life. I can swim and rollerblade again. I'm happier than I've ever been since that boy's thoughtless comment in 1991. Read the original article on

The market has been infatuated with Nvidia for a few years now. So much so that this month, it has once again become the largest company in the world by market capitalization, with a net worth of more than $3.5 trillion. The artificial intelligence (AI) boom has been a huge benefit to the business, and with the stock up more than 10x in just a few short years, it would be understandable for investors who didn't get in earlier to think they missed the boat. So what's an investor to do now if they want to open a new position that will let them ride the AI wave? One promising AI stock that has taken a tumble this year is Applied Materials ( AMAT -0.49% ) . The semiconductor equipment maker is getting hit due to a slowdown in sales to China, but smart investors will know that this is just a temporary headwind for a business with a wide moat. Here's why now is the time to buy the dip on Applied Materials. Applied Materials: The machines that make the machines Many investors know by now that Nvidia -- like numerous other companies -- designs computer chips that are used extensively in modern life. From data centers to smartphones to virtual reality glasses, the world is powered by semiconductors. Building advanced semiconductors takes a lot of innovation, and making them progressively smaller and more powerful requires intricate and advanced machines. This is where Applied Materials steps in. Without getting into the nitty-gritty details, the company produces the equipment and software that semiconductor manufacturers use to package, etch, and form their chips. Its technology allows fabricators to produce chips with higher performance, lower electricity consumption, and a smaller surface area -- attributes prized in the semiconductor industry. Given how important these factors are in building chips, Applied Materials is able to charge a lot for its machines and the service contracts that come with them. Over the last four reported quarters, it has generated $27 billion in revenue from customers around the globe. Free cash flow growth, falling shares outstanding Applied Materials' financial performance has been phenomenal over the long term. Its free cash flow over the last four quarters was $7.5 billion, and it has been cash-flow positive over every 12-month period in the 21st century. Even though Applied Materials operates in a cyclical industry, it has been able to consistently generate positive cash flow due to how important its machines are to manufacturers. With all the cash coming into the business, the company has been able to repurchase a lot of stock. Since 2003, it has reduced its outstanding share count by more than 50%, which helped it grow its earnings per share (EPS) and free cash flow per share . For investors, these are two of the most important metrics to track as they are what create shareholder value over the long term. Free cash flow per share is up by almost 800% over the last 10 years. ACHR Operating Income (TTM) data by YCharts. Why you should buy the dip on Applied Materials stock Investors have sold off Applied Materials stock due to its sharply declining China revenue in its latest fiscal quarter. During its fiscal Q4, which ended Oct. 27, its China revenue fell to $2.1 billion compared to $3 billion in the same period a year ago. Semiconductor manufacturers in China are ordering a lot of machines due to threatened or existing export restrictions from the United States. Investors see those trade restrictions as a major headwind for a segment that accounted for 30% of Applied Materials revenue last quarter. While this is a concern in the short term, the world will need more computer chips regardless of where they are manufactured. If the tools to make them are less available to companies operating in China, then their production will happen in other nations. But Applied Materials will still find demand for its highly sought-after machines. After the recent sell-off, Applied Materials is now trading more than 33% below its all-time high. Its stock trades at a trailing price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) of 20 and a forward P/E of 17.7, based on analyst estimates -- well below the S&P 500 index's average P/E of 30. For a company that should grow along with the booming semiconductor market, these earnings ratios seem far too cheap. So buy up some shares of Applied Materials stock on this dip, and hold onto them for the long haul.Anderson Asset Management Expands into Brazil, Opening New Avenues for Global Investors

Ontario First Nations mull next steps on child welfare amid various legal opinions
Coote was sacked earlier this month after the emergence of a video in which he made derogatory remarks about Liverpool and their former manager Jurgen Klopp. Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) said that a thorough investigation had concluded he was “in serious breach of the provisions of his employment contract, with his position deemed untenable”. “Supporting David Coote continues to be important to us and we remain committed to his welfare,” PGMOL’s statement on December 9 added. Coote had the right to appeal against the decision but PA understands the Nottinghamshire referee has decided not to. The video which triggered PGMOL’s investigation into Coote’s conduct first came to public attention on November 11. In it, Coote is asked for his views on a Liverpool match where he has just been fourth official, and describes them as “s***”. He then describes Klopp as a “c***”, and, asked why he felt that way, Coote says the German had “a right pop at me when I reffed them against Burnley in lockdown” and had accused him of lying. “I have got no interest in speaking to someone who’s f****** arrogant, so I do my best not to speak to him,” Coote said. Later in the video, Coote again refers to Klopp, this time as a “German c***”. The Football Association opened its own investigation into that video, understood to be centred on that last comment and whether Coote’s reference to Klopp’s nationality constituted an aggravated breach of its misconduct rules. The investigation by PGMOL which led to Coote’s contract being terminated is also understood to have looked at another video which appeared to show Coote snorting a white powder, purportedly during Euro 2024 where he was one of the assistant VARs for the tournament. European football’s governing body UEFA also appointed an ethics investigator to look into the matter.OTTAWA — First Nations leaders are split over next steps after a landmark $47.8 billion child welfare reform deal with Canada was struck down, prompting differing legal opinions from both sides. The Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society have received competing legal opinions on potential ways forward. Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict says the chiefs he represents are still hoping the reform agreement with Ottawa that chiefs outside the province voted down two months ago is not moot. Chiefs in Ontario are interveners in the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case that led to its realization. He added there are also concerns that some of the elements in the new negotiation mandate outlined by chiefs in an October assembly go beyond the current governance structure of the Assembly of First Nations. “There will have to be action by the Assembly of First Nations in the very near future to advance these positions, but you also need willing partners,” Benedict said. “We’re still considering what our options are.” Those options are also being debated in legal reviews commissioned by the Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which are both parties to the human rights case, along with Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Khelsilem, a chairperson from the Squamish Nation who penned a resolution that defeated the deal in October, critiqued the stance of Ontario First Nations by saying they negotiated a “bad agreement” for First Nations outside the province and now that chiefs want to go back to the table for a better deal, they want to split from the process entirely. “It potentially undermines the collective unity of First Nations to achieve something that is going to benefit all of us,” he said. The $47.8 billion agreement was struck in July after decades of advocacy and litigation from First Nations and experts, seeking to redress decades of discrimination against First Nations children who were torn from their families and placed in foster care. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal said Canada’s underfunding was discriminatory because it meant kids living on reserve were given fewer services than those living off reserves, and tasked Canada with reaching an agreement with First Nations to reform the system. The agreement was meant to cover 10 years of funding for First Nations to take control of their own child welfare services from the federal government. Chiefs and service providers critiqued the deal for months, saying it didn’t go far enough to ensure an end to the discrimination. They have also blasted the federal government for what they say is its failure to consult with First Nations in negotiations, and for the exclusion of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which helped launched the initial human rights complaint. In October at a special chiefs assembly in Calgary, the deal was struck down through two resolutions. The Assembly of First Nations sought a legal review of those resolutions by Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP — a firm where the former national chief of the organization, Perry Bellegarde, works as a special adviser. In the legal review from Fasken, it appears as though the assembly asked for direction on how to get “rid” of two resolutions used to vote down the deal, with an employee of the firm saying they can review the resolutions together if they want them both gone, or they can “leave room for compromise” with one of the resolutions. In a statement, the Assembly of First Nations said the review was conducted to access the legal, technical and operational aspects of the resolutions to ensure their “effective implementation.” “The opinions formed by external counsel are their own and do not reflect the views or positions of the AFN,” said Andrew Bisson, the chief executive officer, who added it’s not unusual for the organization to seek such reviews. Bisson did not address the language used by a Fasken employee to “get rid” of resolutions, but said “the legal and technical reviews were conducted in good faith, not to undermine the Chiefs’ direction. The Chiefs have provided clear direction, and the AFN is committed to following that direction.” The legal reviews from Fasken, dated Nov. 15, argue that the October resolutions on child welfare require a significant review of who voted for them, along with changes to the organization’s charter should they be implemented. Resolution 60 called for a rejection of the final settlement agreement, and for the establishment of a Children’s Chiefs Commission that will be representative of all regions and negotiate long-term reforms. It also called for the AFN’s executive committee to “unconditionally include” the Caring Society in negotiations. Fasken said that commission is contrary to the AFN’s charter, and the law, because the AFN’s executive committee doesn’t have the power to create one, and that the executive committee “alone” has the authority to execute mandates on behalf of the assembly. It adds there are no accountability measures for the new negotiation body, and that it will represent regions that are not participants in the AFN. Resolution 61, which built upon resolution 60, is similarly against the charter for the same reasons, the review says. As such, it says, the resolutions can’t be implemented. The firm also wrote that there were alleged conflicts of interest during the October vote, saying “numerous proxies were also employees, shareholders, directors, agents or otherwise had a vested interest” in the First Nations child and family service agencies whose interests were the subject of the resolutions voted the deal down. Chief Joe Miskokomon of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in southwestern Ontario called that “political deception.” In response to that review, a board member of the Caring Society, which has been a vocal critic of the July deal, sought their own. The review penned by Aird Berlis for Mary Teegee and dated as Dec. 2, stated it was “inappropriate for the AFN to seek, and not disclose, legal opinions which are then cited to attempt to second-guess decisions already made by the First Nations in Assembly.” It also states that while the AFN’s vice president of strategic policy and integration, Amber Potts, raised concerns with the movers and seconders of the resolutions, the entirety of the legal opinion the assembly sought was not shared with them. Teegee’s review challenges that of the AFN’s by saying the resolutions are consistent with the AFN’s charter, and that nothing restricts First Nations in Assembly from expressing their sovereign will by delegating authority to another entity. “AFN’s role and purpose at all times is to effect the sovereign will of First Nations, however it is expressed, on ‘any matter’ that they see fit,” the review from Aird Berlis reads. “It is too late to attempt to question the resolutions. They are now final.” This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024. Alessia Passafiume, The Canadian Press
