West Ham's Antonio in hospital after road traffic incidentSAN DIEGO , Dec. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Wolfspeed, Inc. (NYSE: WOLF ) securities between August 16, 2023 and November 6, 2024 , both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until Friday, January 17, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit. Captioned Zagami v. Wolfspeed, Inc. , No. 24-cv-01395 (N.D.N.Y.), the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit charges Wolfspeed as well as certain of Wolfspeed's top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. If you suffered substantial losses and wish to serve as lead plaintiff of the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit, please provide your information here: https://www.rgrdlaw.com/cases-wolfspeed-class-action-lawsuit-wolf.html You can also contact attorneys J.C. Sanchez or Jennifer N. Caringal of Robbins Geller by calling 800/449-4900 or via e-mail at [email protected] . CASE ALLEGATIONS : Wolfspeed operates as a bandgap semiconductor company that focuses on silicon carbide and gallium nitride (GaN) technologies. The Wolfspeed class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) Wolfspeed's optimistic claims of potential growth of its Mohawk Valley fabrication facility and general demand for Wolfspeed's 200mm wafers in the electronic vehicle market fell short of reality; and (ii) Wolfspeed had overstated demand for its key product and placed undue reliance on purported design wins while the Mohawk Valley facility's growth had begun to taper before recognizing the $100 million revenue per quarter allegedly achievable with only 20% utilization of the fabrication, let alone the promised $2 billion revenue purportedly achievable by the facility. The Wolfspeed class action lawsuit further alleges that on November 6, 2024 , Wolfspeed announced its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, revealing that 20% utilization of the Mohawk Valley fabrication facility would result in 30% to 50% below the $100 million mark defendants had claimed, attributing the results and lowered guidance to "demand . . . ramp[ing] more slowly than we originally anticipated" as "EV customers revise their launch time lines as the market works through this transition period." On this news, the price of Wolfspeed stock fell more than 39%, according to the complaint. THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS : The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Wolfspeed securities during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Wolfspeed class action lawsuit.

Some 700 youngsters from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including 375 women, learnt critical market-driven vocational and technical skills through a three-month-long training programme that had been supported by the government of Japan, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP). The training programme was designed to empower youth from the Kurram and Orakzai erstwhile tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). The programme's closing ceremony was held in Islamabad earlier in the week to mark its successful completion. During the programme, the youth were equipped with skills such as cell phone repair, LED bulb assembly, eco-friendly packaging, jewellery-making, motorcycle repair, electrical works, plumbing, solar system installation and maintenance, and installing universal power supply (UPS) systems. Upon completion of the programme, the graduates received certificates and customised toolkits to help them apply their skills and start small businesses or secure employment opportunities. The initiative is part of an ongoing project worth $4.1 million and is supported by the government of Japan and UNDP. It aims to stabilise and help revive economic recovery in Kurram and Orakzai districts through a people- and institution-centred approach. Focusing on social cohesion, local governance, and livelihood creation, the project places youth and women at its core as key agents of change and is expected to benefit over 200,000 people, including 50% of women. Speaking at the occasion, Rana Mashood, the chairman of Prime Minister's Youth Programme, said: "Women's empowerment is a key focus of Prime Minister's Youth Programme. I am delighted to see that 375 women have been trained in hands-on skills under this initiative." He expressed gratitude to the Japanese government, the UNDP and SRSP for contributing to the skills training programme in remote areas. Security Threats And State Response In Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa UNDP Pakistan Deputy Resident Representative Van Nguyen expressed gratitude for the collaboration and said: "We are grateful to the government of Japan for their long-standing partnership with UNDP. Through their support, this programme has demonstrated the potential of young people in Kurram and Orakzai." He added that by empowering young women and men with skills for income generation, they were confident that this project would foster gender-sensitive economic recovery in the region and contribute to its long-term stability. Japanese Embassy's Charge d' Affaires ad interim Ito Takeshi, stated, "The long-standing partnership between Japan and UNDP has enabled us to support projects that build strong communities and bring positive change. Our key initiatives have focused on creating safe spaces for women to engage in community decision-making and access economic opportunities. Through these interventions, we have enabled women to take on more active roles contributing to social cohesion and economic stability. Our development partnership is based on the principle of 'Leave No One Behind'". Climate adaption dialogue As part of a broader effort to develop youth leadership, empower young women, and generate actionable strategies to build climate resilience, youth from Kurram and Orakzai also participated in a grand dialogue on "Climate Adaptation and Girls' Education" during the closing ceremony.Spotlight on Robinhood Markets: Analyzing the Surge in Options ActivityAppotronics Highlights Role of Laser Technology in Automotive Industry at Prestigious US Trade Conference

For more information contact help@thesun.co.uk CHIANTI CLASSICO (1.50 Cheltenham, nap) He has enough class to give weight away after his barnstorming comeback win at Ascot last month. He showed his quality when taking the Ultima at this year’s Festival before holding his own in an Aintree Grade 1. His main asset is his brilliant jumping and trainer Kim Bailey has made a flying start to the season. SHAN BLUE (2.25 Cheltenham, nb) He put in a couple of good runs late on last season and was a promising fourth on comeback at Bangor last time. He travelled well for a long way in the testing ground and enjoys these likely better conditions too. He is hit and miss but this is his first crack at a veterans’ race and it could be the making of him from a falling mark. DOYEN QUEST (3.35 Cheltenham, treble) He managed to win here comfortably last time out despite crashing through the second-last flight. Harry Skelton barely had to squeeze him before he hit top gear in the final furlong to draw nicely away. The handicapper has been a trifle harsh with a 10lb rise but there’s more to come and we know he stays strongly. Templegate's TV verdicts CHELTENHAM 12.10 Most read in Horse Racing THAT’S NICE can make the most of the 7lb allowance she gets from the boys and looked a hot prospect when winning on debut at Warwick last month. Nico De Boinville barely moved as she landed a cheeky win and she can build on that promising debut. Country Mile ran well in a Haydock Grade 2 last month when a final-flight blunder proved costly. This better ground should suit the Skelton runner who has a lot more to come. Wingmen went from the front to win on hurdles debut at Navan 27 days ago. He had lots left in the tank and is another with more to come. Palacio nicked his debut from the front at Chepstow but this is much tougher. 12.40 CALDWELL POTTER paid back a small slice of his massive purchase price when winning impressively on chase debut at Carlisle 12 days ago. He jumped well and should improve plenty for that comeback. He was Grade 1 standard over hurdles and looks hard to beat. Jango Baie was also high-class over timber and was an unlucky second when last seen at Aintree. Nicky Henderson has been making positive noises about his schooling. Springwell Bay didn’t get home over three miles here last time after winning a Listed contest at this trip. He sets the standard for the others to improve past. Deafening Silence wasn’t asked too many questions on chase debut and needs to improve. 1.15 VALGRAND will be much happier back over this trip which saw him kick off the season with a Grade 2 win on the Old course. He tanked home by 17 lengths there but was no match for potential superstar Potters Charm over 2m5f here last time. He has top weight but his opening mark could be lenient and decent ground suits. Willmount looked a hot prospect when winning on hurdles debut at Newbury last year before picking up an injury in the Grade 1 Challow Hurdle. He’s back from 349 days off so may need the run but he’s another who could be well ahead of the handicapper. To Chase A Dream has done nothing wrong with back-to-back wins at Carlisle. He comes here with every chance under a penalty and the booking of Harry Cobden takes the eye. Tintintin ran a cracker when fourth in the Greatwood Hurdle here last month. He is back from the same mark with solid place claims again. Bo Zenith is an interesting Nicky Henderson runner after 610 days off. His last run was a short-head second in an Aintree Grade 1 so he’s worth watching even if he needs this return. Mirabad lost his chance at Ascot last time when clattering the final flight and has place prospects. 1.50 CHIANTI CLASSICO has enough class to give weight away after his barnstorming comeback win at Ascot last month. He showed his quality when taking the Ultima at this year’s Festival before holding his own in an Aintree Grade 1. His main asset is his brilliant jumping and trainer Kim Bailey has made a flying start to the season. King Turgeon was impressive when winning the Grand Sefton Chase over the National fences at Aintree early last month. He would have liked last week’s Becher Chase to have beaten the weather but his comeback win at Chepstow shows his liking for conventional fences too. He’ll go close again. Java Point had a couple of these behind him when second in an amateur riders’ contest here four weeks ago. He was just nabbed up the hill but doesn’t lack for stamina. He has every chance of hitting the frame again. The Newest One was fourth in that amateurs’ race after going from the front. He’s creeping up the weights but is consistent. Ballygrifincottage took a heavy tumble here last time and is not guaranteed to get up the hill. 2.25 SHAN BLUE put in a couple of good runs late on last season and was a promising fourth on comeback at Bangor last time. He travelled well for a long way in the testing ground and enjoys these likely better conditions too. He is hit and miss but this is his first crack at a veterans’ race and it could be the making of him from a falling mark. Dashel Drasher hasn’t won over fences since the 2021 Ascot Chase but he ran well at Grade 2 level on comeback and will be fitter for the experience. His battling qualities are well known and his last handicap win came off this mark. Shakem Up’Arry goes well fresh and won the Festival Plate on his last trip to Cheltenham. He’s a fair 6lb higher today and looks dangerous. Eldorado Allen wasn’t disgraced on comeback at Warwick. He still has plenty of weight but has run well here before and could hit the frame for in-form trainer Joe Tizzard. 3.00 MISTER COFFEY gets one last chance from me to get off the mark over fences. He returned from nine months off to run a big race on this cross-country course last time. He finished like a train into second but the winner had flown. Now Nico De Boinville knows he stays, he can try to have the Nicky Henderson chaser a bit nearer to the pace and he’s come nicely down the weights. Delta Work has a good record here and is the obvious threat. He was rusty on return at Down Royal last month and will show his true colours. With Rob James taking off 7lb, he’s not even carrying top weight. Stumptown has been in flying form over the Punchestown cross-country course and has plenty of staying power. Arizona Cardinal needed his comeback at Chepstow and will like the track. He can run well if his stamina holds, while Iceo Madrik comes from France with every chance of a cross-country hat-trick from way down the weights. 3.35 DOYEN QUEST managed to win here comfortably last time out despite crashing through the second-last flight. Harry Skelton barely had to squeeze him before he hit top gear in the final furlong to draw nicely away. The handicapper has been a trifle harsh with a 10lb rise but there’s more to come and we know he stays strongly. Gowel Road was second to the tip last time and has every chance of making the frame again. He’s 8lb better off at the weights but he will struggle to turn the form around. Long Draw has been knocking on the door and made it four seconds in a row when beaten two lengths here last month. In-form trainer Olly Murphy steps him up in distance today which may bring improvement. He’s only five so there should be more to come. Might I got his act together when winning at Bangor on comeback last month. Soft ground is his favourite so more rain would help his chances. It’s interesting to see Nicky Henderson send Bhaloo back over hurdles after his chase debut win at Ascot. His sole handicap run in this sphere saw him finish a decent second at Warwick in May and he could be very well handicapped for each-way players. High Game Royal was just collared on the line after leading for a long way at Lingfield last time and looks capable of making the frame if improving for his in-form training team. BANGOR 2.05 SKUNA BAY showed nice promise when third on debut at Carlisle last month. He wasn’t asked too many questions by Brian Hughes before coming home with something left in the tank. He should improve plenty for that experience and is bred for stamina. Kevin’s Pride was beaten just a neck on his hurdling debut at Carlisle. He powered on up the hill at the Cumbrian track and should have no problems getting home in these testing conditions. Theatre Tom was a fairly distant third here on debut but showed some promise and has place claims. Edmond comes from the Venetia Williams winner factory. She won a bumper way back in May 2023 and needed the run on her first outing since at Ffos Las last month. There’s more to come from her. 2.40 THANKSFORTHEHELP is entered in Cheltenham’s lucky last too but this is his first preference and he’s good enough to win it. He was a good fourth at Prestbury Park last month when he saw out the three-mile trip strongly. David Pipe’s hopeful has come right down the weights and anything close to his best would be good enough. Plaisir Des Flos is a regular winner who ran a cracker when third after being hampered at Cheltenham four weeks ago. This is his first crack at three miles and he’ll go close if lasting home. READ MORE SUN STORIES Schalke ran his best race for a long time when third over course and distance on comeback. He likes it heavy and can hit the frame again. Strackan and Mahland both won last time and will enjoy these conditions.

Trump offers support for dockworkers union by saying ports shouldn’t install more automated systemsAP Trending SummaryBrief at 3:22 p.m. ESTBy JOSH BOAK WASHINGTON (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump on Thursday voiced his support for the dockworkers union before their contract expires next month at Eastern and Gulf Coast ports, saying that any further “automation” of the ports would harm workers. Related Articles National Politics | Will Kamala Harris run for California governor in 2026? The question is already swirling National Politics | Senate begins final push to expand Social Security benefits for millions of people National Politics | Trump taps immigration hard-liner Kari Lake as head of Voice of America National Politics | Trump extends unprecedented invites to China’s Xi and other world leaders for his inauguration National Politics | Pressure on a veteran and senator shows what’s next for those who oppose Trump The incoming president posted on social media that he met Harold Daggett, the president of the International Longshoreman’s Association, and Dennis Daggett, the union’s executive vice president. “I’ve studied automation, and know just about everything there is to know about it,” Trump posted. “The amount of money saved is nowhere near the distress, hurt, and harm it causes for American Workers, in this case, our Longshoremen. Foreign companies have made a fortune in the U.S. by giving them access to our markets. They shouldn’t be looking for every last penny knowing how many families are hurt.” The International Longshoremen’s Association has until Jan. 15 to negotiate a new contract with the U.S. Maritime Alliance, which represents ports and shipping companies. At the heart of the dispute is whether ports can install automated gates, cranes and container-moving trucks that could make it faster to unload and load ships. The union argues that automation would lead to fewer jobs, even though higher levels of productivity could do more to boost the salaries of remaining workers. The Maritime Alliance said in a statement that the contract goes beyond ports to “supporting American consumers and giving American businesses access to the global marketplace – from farmers, to manufacturers, to small businesses, and innovative start-ups looking for new markets to sell their products.” “To achieve this, we need modern technology that is proven to improve worker safety, boost port efficiency, increase port capacity, and strengthen our supply chains,” said the alliance, adding that it looks forward to working with Trump. In October, the union representing 45,000 dockworkers went on strike for three days, raising the risk that a prolonged shutdown could push up inflation by making it difficult to unload container ships and export American products overseas. The issue pits an incoming president who won November’s election on the promise of bringing down prices against commitments to support blue-collar workers along with the kinds of advanced technology that drew him support from Silicon Valley elite such as billionaire Elon Musk. Trump sought to portray the dispute as being between U.S. workers and foreign companies, but advanced ports are also key for staying globally competitive. China is opening a $1.3 billion port in Peru that could accommodate ships too large for the Panama Canal. There is a risk that shippers could move to other ports, which could also lead to job losses. Mexico is constructing a port that is highly automated, while Dubai, Singapore and Rotterdam already have more advanced ports. Instead, Trump said that ports and shipping companies should eschew “machinery, which is expensive, and which will constantly have to be replaced.” “For the great privilege of accessing our markets, these foreign companies should hire our incredible American Workers, instead of laying them off, and sending those profits back to foreign countries,” Trump posted. “It is time to put AMERICA FIRST!”
LUKE LITTLER left Ritchie Edhouse applauding him after he pulled off a genius moment in the Players Championship. The darts sensation was taking on Edhouse in the finals of the tournament and was in great form yet again. Littler , 17, won the tie 6-2 in a crushing defeat to his opponent.

By Michelle Marchante, Miami Herald (TNS) MIAMI — As her students finished their online exam, Arlet Lara got up to make a cafe con leche . Her 16-year-old son found her on the kitchen floor. First, he called Dad in a panic. Then 911. “I had a stroke and my life made a 180-degree turn,” Lara told the Miami Herald, recalling the medical scare she experienced in May 2020 in the early months of the COVID pandemic. “The stroke affected my left side of the body,” the North Miami woman and former high school math teacher said. Lara, an avid runner and gym goer, couldn’t even walk. “It was hard,” the 50-year-old mom said. After years of rehabilitation therapy and a foot surgery, Lara can walk again. But she still struggles with moving. This summer, she became the first patient in South Florida to get an implant of a new and only FDA-approved nerve stimulation device designed to help ischemic stroke survivors regain movement in their arms and hands. This first procedure was at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Lara’s rehab was at at the Christine E. Lynn Rehabilitation Center for The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis, part of a partnership between Jackson Health System and UHealth. Every year, thousands in the United States have a stroke , with one occurring every 40 seconds, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The majority of strokes are ischemic, often caused by blood clots that obstruct blood flow to the brain. For survivors, most of whom are left with some level of disability, the Vivistim Paired VNS System, the device implanted in Lara’s chest, could be a game changer in recovery, said Dr. Robert Starke, a UHealth neurosurgeon and interventional neuroradiologist. He also serves as co-director of endovascular neurosurgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital, part of Miami-Dade’s public hospital system. The Vivistim Paired VNS System is a small pacemaker-like device implanted in the upper chest and neck area. Patients can go home the same day. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the stroke rehabilitation system in 2021 to be used alongside post-ischemic stroke rehabilitation therapy to treat moderate to severe mobility issues in hands and arms. Lara’s occupational therapist can activate the device during rehabilitation sessions to electrically stimulate the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain down to the abdomen and regulates various parts of the body’s nervous system. The electrical stimulation rewires the brain to improve a stroke survivor’s ability to move their arms and hands. Lara also has a magnet she can use to activate the device when she wants to practice at home. Her therapy consists of repetitive tasks, including coloring, pinching cubes and grabbing and releasing cylindrical shapes. After several weeks of rehabilitation therapy with the device, Lara has seen improvement. “Little by little, I’m noticing that my hand is getting stronger. I am already able to brush my teeth with the left hand,” she told the Miami Herald in September. Since then, Lara has finished the initial six-week Vivitism therapy program, and is continuing to use the device in her rehabilitation therapy. She continues to improve and can now eat better with her left hand and can brush her hair with less difficulty, according to her occupational therapist, Neil Batungbakal. Lara learned about the device through an online group for stroke survivors and contacted the company to inquire. She then connected them with her Jackson medical team. Now a year later, the device is available to Jackson patients. So far, four patients have received the implant at Jackson. Starke sees the device as an opportunity to help bring survivors one step closer to regaining full mobility. Strokes are a leading cause of disability worldwide. While most stroke survivors can usually recover some function through treatment and rehabilitation, they tend to hit a “major plateau” after the first six months of recovery, he said. Vivistim, when paired with rehabilitation therapy, could change that. Jackson Health said results of a clinical trial published in the peer-reviewed medical journal The Lancet in 2021 showed that the device, “when paired with high-repetition, task-specific occupational or physical therapy, helps generate two to three times more hand and arm function for stroke survivors than rehabilitation therapy alone.” The device has even shown to benefit patients 20 years from their original stroke, according to Starke. “So now a lot of these patients that had strokes 10-15 years ago that thought that they would never be able to use their arm in any sort of real functional way are now able to have a real meaningful function, which is pretty tremendous,” Starke said. Vivistim’s vagus-nerve stimulation technology was developed by researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas’ Texas Biomedical Device Center and is being sold commercially by Austin-based MicroTransponder, a company started by university graduates. Similar devices are used to treat epilepsy and depression . For Lara, the device is a new tool to help her recovery journey. “Everything becomes a challenge so we are working with small things every day because I want to get back as many functions as possible,” Lara said. Patients interested in Vivistim should speak with their doctor to check their eligibility. The FDA said patients should make sure to discuss any prior medical history, including concurrent forms of brain stimulation, current diathermy treatment, previous brain surgery, depression, respiratory diseases and disorders such as asthma, and cardiac abnormalities. “Adverse events included but were not limited to dysphonia (difficulty speaking), bruising, falling, general hoarseness, general pain, hoarseness after surgery, low mood, muscle pain, fracture, headache, rash, dizziness, throat irritation, urinary tract infection and fatigue,” the FDA said. MicroTransponder says the device is “covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance with prior authorization on a case-by-case basis.” To learn more about the device, visit vivistim.com. ©2024 Miami Herald.
