Davis scores 15, Southern Illinois knocks off Florida Tech 81-54Companies enjoying double-digit revenue and profit increases, a diversified set of customers in growing markets and dividend yields of around 3.5% are always worth a look. One interesting example is Singapore Technologies Engineering (Singapore: S63) , or STE, a company worth S$14 billion (£8.2 billion), with businesses in defence and public security (DPS); commercial aerospace (CA); and urban solutions and satellite communications, or satcom (USS). DPS is the largest division, making up 44% of revenue in the first nine months of 2024, followed by CA with 40% and USS with 16%. Strong revenue growth for Singapore Technologies Engineering Revenue growth rates for the period follow the same order, with DPS up 18%, CA up 16% and USS up only 0.3%. Sales for the whole group gained 14.3% to S$8.3 billion for the nine months. The fourth quarter is the company’s strongest, so 2024 revenue is likely to reach S$11.4 billion. It is not surprising that DPS grew nine-month revenue by 18%. Donald Trump has made it clear that America’s Asian and European allies must contribute more to their own defence and that is driving rearmament programmes in both regions. This is giving DPS more orders across its diversified product range, which includes fighting vehicles, patrol boats, howitzers and ammunition, drones, command and control systems, cybersecurity and naval ship-repair services. CA carries out engine and airframe maintenance, repair and overhaul, and is the world’s top independent operator in this subsector. It is benefiting from the backlog of new aircraft deliveries, which means that older aircraft are being kept in service for longer. However, this has affected the other main CA business, the conversion of older passenger aircraft for carrying freight (P2F). These two divisions compensate each other and, when deliveries of new passenger jets improve, the rise in P2F should make up for any reduction in maintenance work. CA also makes engine nacelles and composite aircraft panels. What makes STE a stellar stock? USS has recently won contracts for passenger information systems, rail digital radio systems, a metro upgrade in Taiwan, electronic toll collection and a smart lighting system for an Asian international airport. The lower growth rate in 2024 was caused by lower satcom sales. ST acquired US firm Transcore in 2022, which added next-generation electronic tolling and transit operations, such as Transcore’s congestion tolling contract for Manhattan. The Manhattan system will demonstrate Transcore’s expertise and be an excellent reference contract for new congestion tolling systems in Asia. Transcore accounts for 35% of USS’s revenue. STE had a healthy order book of S$26.9 billion on 30 September – two-and-a third years of current annual revenue. New orders in the first nine months of 2024 were particularly strong for DPS, which added S$3.6 billion of new orders, the same as its nine-month sales figure. STE has a global presence, with hangars for its MRO and P2F operations in Singapore, China (where it services non-Chinese airlines), the US and Europe. It works for airlines including Delta, Air Canada, AirAsia and DHL. STE is Singapore’s main defence contractor but it also sells equipment to 40 other militaries, including the US. STE’s DPS business enjoys a wide moat – an enduring competitive advantage – based on its government relationships and the switching costs characteristic of command and control systems, surveillance and infrastructure applications. CA and USS have narrower moats based on intangible assets and switching costs. Earnings per share (EPS) are set to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 14.4% between 2023 and 2028. STE’s 2023 results show revenue of S$10.1 billion up 11.8%, Ebitda of S$1.46 billion, Ebit, or operating earnings, of S$915 million (up 24.4%), net profit of S$586.5 million (up 17.9%) and EPS of S$0.19. Cash stood at S$353 million on 31 December. Ebit would have been up 40% had Transcore integration costs, and severance costs incurred by disposing of a non-core business, Satixfy, been excluded. The Transcom business was earnings accretive in 2023 – ahead of plan. The first-half results to 30 June showed higher growth rates, with revenue up 13.5% to S$5.5 billion, net profit up 18.5% to S$416.5 million and cash at S$430 million. New contracts won in the third quarter include AI-enabled command-and-control systems, cybersecurity products and services, two smart metro systems, healthcare tech for Hong Kong and the STE/Airbus joint venture in Germany delivering its 100th P2F Airbus conversion since starting operations in 2017. The Belgian/ Dutch navies have selected STE to make the electronics for their surface, under-water and aerial mine countermeasure drones. STE, on a recent price of S$4.48, is rated a “strong buy” by analysts; investment platform Morningstar estimates a “fair value” of S$5.25, giving headroom of 17% above the current price. The price is also 4% above its 200-day moving average, suggesting a long-term uptrend in the chart. The forward price/earnings (p/e) ratio is 17.4 and the forward dividend yield a welcome 3.53%. Shareholders’ total return over the last three years has been 35%. Since 2017 STE has been selling off noncore activities, focusing on higher value-added activities, such as the acquisition of Transcore, and improving margins via cost containment. With its diversified business, record of profitable growth and yield, the company is certainly well worth a look. This article was first published in MoneyWeek's magazine.

Blockchain Regulation Drives Business Utility While Stablecoins Surge This Week in Web3
In a bid to address hunger and malnutrition among vulnerable children, QNET, a global direct-selling company focused on wellness and lifestyle, has partnered with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative (LFBI) to support 1,000 children in the Makoko community of Lagos State. The initiative, part of LFBI’s Education Enhancement Intervention for Food Insecure Students (EDUFOOD) programme, aims to tackle food insecurity by providing nutritious meals and essential educational resources to underserved children. Supported by QNET’s legal partner, Transblue Limited, the programme aligns with QNET’s commitment to social impact and sustainable development. Malnutrition remains a critical issue in Nigeria, with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reporting that the country has the second-highest burden of stunted children globally. Approximately 32 per cent of Nigerian children under the age of five are stunted, and two million suffer from severe acute malnutrition. QNET’s regional manager for Sub-Saharan Africa, Biram Fall, in a press statement made available to LEADERSHIP, highlighted the importance of the initiative, stating that, “Guided by our principle – Raise Yourself To Help Mankind (RYTHM), we believe that education and good health for children are the cornerstones of a thriving society. Partnering with LFBI allows us to make a tangible impact on vulnerable children’s lives, reflecting our mission to empower youths and improve communities.” For his part, managing director of Transblue Limited, Akeem Ajisafe, shared his thoughts: “This collaboration not only addresses food insecurity but also brings joy to young hearts, allowing them to truly experience the spirit of Christmas. Together, we are fostering hope, joy, and a brighter future for all.” Also, executive director of LFBI, Michael Sunbola, expressed gratitude for the partnership: “QNET’s support empowers us to reach even more children during this season of celebration, improving their health and unlocking their potential. Together, we are building a foundation for a brighter future.” The partnership underscores QNET’s commitment to sustainable development, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Zero Hunger (SDG 2) and Quality Education (SDG 4).BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romania is reeling after a little-known, far-right populist secured the first round in the presidential election, beating the incumbent prime minister. Calin Georgescu, who ran independently, will face reformist Elena Lasconi in a Dec. 8. runoff after most local surveys predicted he would win less than 10% of the vote. Georgescu, 62, was ahead after nearly all ballots were counted with around 22.95%. According to local media, Georgescu in the past has praised Russian President Vladimir Putin as “a man who loves his country” and called Ukraine “an invented state.” He has also sparked controversy for describing Romanian fascist and nationalist leaders from the 1930s and 1940s as national heroes. Lasconi, of the progressive Save Romania Union party, or USR, followed with 19.17%. She beat by a slim margin incumbent Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the Social Democratic Party, or PSD, who stood at 19.15%. Lasconi on Monday warned that Romania is now in “a historical confrontation between preserving Romania’s young democracy ... and those who want to return Romania to the Russian sphere of influence.” She added: “Let us be very clear, Calin Georgescu is an open admirer of Vladimir Putin. He is open against NATO and the European Union ... He is for Romania’s isolation, which he calls neutrality ... And without NATO we are at the mercy of Russia.” Georgescu on Monday denied charges of being an extremist as “false, totally fake” and said he is “completely dedicated” to the Romanian people. “We remain directly linked to European values, but we must find our (own) values,” he said. “I’m not an extremist, I’m not a fascist, I’m a Romanian who loves his country.” Many observers have attributed Georgescu’s success to his TikTok account , which has 3.7 million likes and 274,000 followers. He gained huge traction and popularity in recent weeks. It is the first time in Romania’s 35-year post-communist history that the country’s most powerful party, the PSD, doesn't have a candidate in the second round of a presidential race, underscoring voters’ anti-establishment sentiment. Ciolacu's shocking defeat prompted him to submit his resignation as party leader on Monday. After polls closed on Sunday, the Central Election Bureau said 9.4 million people — about 52.5% of eligible voters — had cast ballots. Georgescu won 43.3% of the vote in Romania's large diaspora, while Lasconi got 26.8%. Romania's president serves a five-year term in the European Union and NATO member country and has significant decision-making powers in areas such as national security, foreign policy and judicial appointments. According to his website, Georgescu holds a doctorate in pedology, a branch of soil science, and held positions in Romania’s environment ministry in the 1990s. Between 1999 and 2012, he was a representative for Romania on the national committee of the United Nations Environment Program. His campaign positions included supporting farmers, reducing import dependence and ramping up local energy and food production. Georgescu's rising popularity will be tested when he faces Lasconi, who may attract more moderate voters who initially choose other candidates. Lasconi, a former journalist, told The Associated Press ahead of the vote that she saw corruption as one of Romania's biggest problems and expressed support for increased defense spending and continued aid to Ukraine. If she wins the final vote, she will be the first female president in Romania's history. Romania will also hold parliamentary elections on Dec. 1 that will determine the country’s next government and prime minister.
DEA Denies Allegations Of Colluding With Anti-Marijuana Group While Involved In Cannabis Rescheduling Process
The San Francisco 49ers' Week 12 game with the Green Bay Packers is close to a must-win for the defending NFC champions, but their star-studded roster appears in poor shape to attack the challenge of coming away from Lambeau Field with a victory. San Francisco practiced for the second time this week on Thursday, but seemingly did so without quarterback Brock Purdy, defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams. If you were listing the players most important to the 49ers' hopes of victory on Sunday, that trio would likely be at the top. Per Matt Barrows of The Athletic, Purdy was throwing at the very start of the section of practice open to the media but left the field soon after. There was no Nick Bosa, Trent Williams or Brock Purdy at the start of practice. Purdy, who is dealing with a right shoulder injury, was throwing at the very start of the session but left the field soon thereafter. He has been dealing with shoulder soreness sustained in last Sunday's upset loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Purdy did not throw in Wednesday's practice. Bosa suffered another hip/oblique injury in the defeat to Seattle, doing so on a third-quarter sack of Geno Smith. Williams, meanwhile, battled through an ankle injury in Week 11. Both Bosa and Williams sat out the opening session of the week on Wednesday. A second straight missed practice does not necessarily mean they will miss the Packers game, with head coach Kyle Shanahan insisting they will be given every chance to prove their fitness to play. "When it comes to a guy like Bosa, when it comes to a guy like Trent [Williams], their position, the veterans they are, how they play. Those guys have all the way until kickoff for me," said Shanahan. "Towards the end of the week I'll have a better feel and he'll have a better feel and that's when we'll discuss." The likelihood is that the 49ers are being cautious with Purdy ahead of the most important game of the season so far. Still, it is far from an ideal turn of events for the Niners and, if they are put in a situation when they are starting Brandon Allen at quarterback without Williams and Bosa, then Shanahan's team may soon find themselves in too deep of a hole from which to climb out and rescue their season.

Needless to say, some AI tools are inherently more focused (and successful) in what they aim to achieve and the benefits they provide to their users. One strong example of innovation in AI comes from Ricky Ray Butler, founder and CEO of Revmatics.ai . With extensive experience in the application of AI in media, Revmatics's AI solution built on agentic architecture is poised to be a real game-changer for businesses across practically every niche. What Is Revmatics.ai? "Revmatics is an AI platform that is designed to help you turn your data into action, such as, by optimizing your website in real time so that it delivers a personalized user experience to each persona," Butler explains. "Most marketers don't use their data to the fullest extent, in part because it isn't unified. We leverage historical data, retailer data, campaign data, and more to uncover new insights and discover the persona of a brand's target consumer. With this data, we connect target personas to their communities, activating those communities, and allowing us to deliver personalized conversion funnels that meet them in ways that are most appealing to them — particularly with the website's own content." Personalization has become an important differentiator in the digital age. Research from McKinsey notes that "companies that excel at personalization generate 40% more revenue from those activities than average players." In addition, 89% of marketers report a positive ROI from campaigns that include personalization. However, actually implementing personalization on a website is often easier said than done — which is where the Revmatics CRO tool and its AI agents help marketers turn their online presence into a meaningful driver of conversions. "The big problem with e-commerce is that home pages and landing are static — pages give audiences the same message every time," Butler says. "But by leveraging the power of machine learning and data, our AI agents tailor the messaging to the needs of each of a brand's various personas in real time, making your website far more user-friendly and far more likely to generate meaningful revenue growth. Combining this with AI insights that connect your contextualized funnel to the right communities online allows you to reach the right audience with the right message, in the right place and time." An Experienced Team Behind the Scenes Butler draws on extensive experience working with AI to help guide the vision for Revmatics, and he is hardly alone in this endeavor. "Our team has a diverse range of experience in the world of AI," he says. "We have experts in areas such as AI SaaS, ML Ops platforms, agentic architecture, and best-in-case AI Research, all working with the same goal of making this AI platform a strong solution capable of delivering the conversion and revenue improvements companies need to grow sustainably in 2025 and beyond. Getting everyone's insights and expertise together has been crucial in helping us develop a solution that allows brands to activate their communities at scale by better aligning their messaging and creative for each audience they target." Among the notable team members is Chase Zieman, co-founder and Chief Technology Officer. Zieman brings over a decade of leadership in AI, SaaS platforms and marketing technology, with a proven track record of driving growth through innovative solutions. His experience includes spearheading AI transformations for industry giants such as The Home Depot, Alteryx and Cart.com. "AI has reached an inflection point where its real value lies not in predictive insights, but in actionable intelligence and automations that adapt in real time," Zieman says. "At Revmatics, we've designed our technology to merge the power of agentic AI with human creativity, unlocking incredible personalization and enabling brands to forge deeper, more meaningful connections with their audiences." A Truly Game-Changing AI Solution Butler sees Revmatics' AI solution as a true game-changer for businesses seeking to better engagement with their target audiences and drive meaningful conversion. This isn't just because of the effectiveness of the real-time website personalizations, as impressive as they are. But the speed and efficiency with which the AI can accomplish this can drastically alter how businesses approach web optimization. "Using an agentic AI architecture enables the Revmatics CRO tool to present a clear picture of who brands should be targeting, as well as how, where, and what they should reach them with. By indexing and taking advantage of the disparate sources of data that often go unused, the CRO tool allows us to better activate these audiences and create immediate impact. A community-driven approach aids in everything from presenting customized landing pages to driving media planning strategies to engage with your communities on other platforms." Brands often spend millions to optimize their digital content so that it appeals to their target audiences. Writing, editing and designing web content and then testing its impact on conversion rates can be expensive and time-consuming. "Our tech collects your digital assets, products and so on, combines it with AI-generated themes that are built on the best landing pages in the world at driving the sale. By leveraging these data variables to create a personalized web experience in minutes, we achieve an incredible level of personalization in real time to create community-based conversion funnels," Butler says. "The Revmatics CRO tool also enables us to run multi-variant tests of the funnel, splitting different design and copy options so the AI can quickly determine what works best for your audience. The AI makes it incredibly easy to run these tests and use machine learning to deliver the most effective web experience and continue optimizing conversions and revenue." Revmatics' CMO, Travis Simon, has long been delivering e-commerce growth for brands like Rubbermaid, Redheart, Camp Chef, and iFIT's house of brands (iFIT, ProForm, NordicTrack). He's excited about how this tool unleashes marketers to drive growth like never before. "Now marketers can identify the right personas to target and build unique funnels personalized to each of them in less than 15 minutes. Having worked for brands big and small, I always hoped for the ability to deliver better customer experiences," Simon says. "Truly, the holy grail of marketing is no longer some distant pipe dream; it's here today in the form of the new Revmatics CRO tool and it's already delivering up to 50% conversion rate improvements for our customers! I couldn't be more excited for the future of marketing." Creating the Foundation for Success As Butler's insights illustrate, solutions like Revmatics are poised to completely transform the way companies do business. Those that become early adopters of technology such as Revmatics' personalized web experiences and data- and community-driven marketing strategies will be able to position themselves in a more attractive manner for their target audience, increasing their conversions and revenue. Simply having AI may no longer be considered a differentiator, but with the right strategic implementation of these AI solutions, it can still become a powerful competitive advantage.

Travis Kelce knows Jason Kelce 's game all too well. Which is why the Kansas City Chiefs tight end wasn't fazed by his brother's recent reference to his girlfriend Taylor Swift . During the duo's Dec. 24 episode of their New Heights podcast, Jason informed listeners about a discount code featuring the number 13, a figure beloved by Taylor, who was born on Dec. 13. "I wonder what the 13 is for?" Jason cheekily asked. "It's probably because it's my favorite number, right?" Without skipping a beat, Travis replied, "Yeah. Or maybe it was just Friday the 13th a few weeks ago." Indeed, it was nearly two weeks ago that Dec. 13, Taylor's 35th birthday , landed on a Friday. But Jason also added another possible theory, reminding Travis, "I was number 13 in hockey." This hilarious podcast exchange between the brothers comes shortly after Travis praised the Grammy winner for completing her history-making Eras Tour . “Shoutout to Tay,” he said on the Dec. 11 episode of New Heights . “The unbelievable Eras Tour has finally come to an end.” "Over 10 million people in the stands over the course of it, like cumulatively," Travis added. "It’s pretty crazy.” I wonder what the 13 is for - Jason 😄 pic.twitter.com/vrNM2f83ok And Taylor has often returned support for Travis. Just a few days ago, she cheered him on as the Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans Dec. 21. As the NFL player's season continues, best believe the "Cruel Summer" singer will make more game day appearances . "I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time in Dec. 2023. "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone. And we're just proud of each other." And no, she's not focused on the attention her attendance might bring. "There's a camera, like, a half-mile away, and you don't know where it is, and you have no idea when the camera is putting you in the broadcast, so I don't know if I'm being shown 17 times or once," she explained. "I'm just there to support Travis. I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads." For more details on Taylor and Travis' winning romance, keep reading... July 2023: So, Make the Friendship Bracelets Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce 's love story began in July 2023, when the singer's Eras Tour made a stop at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. As a huge Swiftie, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end caught the show with hopes of giving Taylor a friendship bracelet with his number on it . However, he failed to complete the pass due to her pre-show rituals. "I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings," Travis shared on the July 26 episode of his New Heights podcast. "So, I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her." Summer 2023: This Is Him Trying After publicly recounting his fumble—a move Taylor would later describe as "metal as hell" —Travis decided to shoot his shot and invite the Grammy winner to watch the Chiefs play at Arrowhead Stadium. "I threw it out there, I threw the ball in her court," he shared on The Pat McAfee Show . "I told her, you know, 'I've seen you rock the stage in Arrowhead, you might have to come see me rock the stage in Arrowhead and see which one's a little more lit.' So, we'll see what happens in the near future." August 2023: Enchanted to Meet You Travis was rocking a mustache—which he debuted in August during training camp—when he was first introduced to Taylor . As he later noted of the era, "That 'stache and the 87 jersey was pretty iconic there for a little bit, and I had it when I met Taylor for the first time." September 2023: Sparks Fly By early September, a source close to the situation told E! News that Travis and Taylor were " texting and talking here and there ." "It's been very low-key," the insider explained, "as he's been in season." September 2023: Cheer Captain Accepting Travis' invite, Taylor joined the athlete's mom Donna Kelce at Arrowhead Stadium to watch him and the Chiefs take on the Chicago Bears. After the game, Taylor and Travis were seen packing PDA at a local bar . Though folklore had it that it was the couple's first in-person meeting, the "Karma" singer later clarified the two had spent a "significant amount of time" getting to know each other beforehand. As Taylor noted, "We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date." October 2023: Team Up As an indication that the relationship was heating up, Taylor brought her squad —including friends Blake Lively , Ryan Reynolds , Sophie Turner , Hugh Jackman , Sabrina Carpenter and Antoni Porowski —to watch the Chiefs play against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. October 2023: It's Nice to Have a Friend Another sign that Travis could be The 1 ? Taylor started bonding with Brittany Mahomes —the wife of Travis' BFF and teammate Patrick Mahomes —in and outside of NFL games . October 2023: Welcome to New York The couple took their romance to TV, making a surprise appearance on the Oct. 14 episode of Saturday Night Live . Their Big Apple takeover also included the after-party for the NBC sketch show and a date night at the Waverly Inn . November 2023: Karma Is Her Boyfriend During a bye week, Travis traveled down to Argentina to catch the South American leg of Taylor's Eras Tour. Not only did the NFL star bond with Taylor's dad , Scott Swift , at the Nov. 11 show in Buenos Aires, but he also got a special shoutout from the stage. " Karma is that guy on the Chiefs ," Taylor sang, "coming straight home to me." After the show, the Midnights artist was seen running up to Travis backstage and greeting him with a passionate kiss . December 2024: Speak Now Taylor addressed the lavender craze surrounding her appearances at Travis' games. "I'm going to see him do what he loves, we're showing up for each other, other people are there and we don't care," she told Time . "The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you're seeing someone." December 2023: You, Who Charmed Her Dad The music superstar turned Travis' Dec. 17 game into a family affair, bringing her dad to cheer on her man . January 2024: All the Midnights Taylor and Travis spent their first New Year's Eve together, sharing a romantic kiss when the clock struck midnight on Jan. 1. January 2024: Chosen Family Continuing to bond with Travis' family, Taylor hung out with his brother Jason Kelce and sister-in-law Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs' game against the Buffalo Bills. January 2024: Saved by the Perfect Kiss Taylor joined Travis on the football field when the Chiefs won the AFC Championship , a victory that cemented the team's spot in the 2024 Super Bowl . The couple shared a celebratory kiss before exchanging the L-word . "Tay, I'm gonna enjoy with the guys," he told her. "I love you—so much it's not funny." February 2024: Super Bowl Champs The pair locked lips on the field after Travis led the Kansas City Chiefs to victory on Feb. 11, 2024 in Las Vegas. February 2024: TikTok Official Taylor posted footage of Travis on social media for the first time Feb. 12, poking fun at how she took her parents clubbing with the athlete after the Super Bowl. June 2024: Instagram Official Taylor's first Instagram pic featuring Travis was a selfie of the two with Prince William and his and wife Kate Middleton 's eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage at the singer's Eras tour show at Wembley Stadium in London. June 2024: Travis' Eras Tour Stage Debut While attending his seventh Eras tour concert, and second show at London's Wembley Stadium, the NFL star joined his girlfriend onstage as a backup performer during her performance of "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart." September 2024: Back in the Game Taylor joined Travis for the Chief's first game of the regular 2024-25 season and appeared to re-enact a PDA moment from October 2023 in this photo shared by Chariah Gordon , who is pictured with her boyfriend, Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman . September 2024: Wedding Date The two attended model Karen Elson 's wedding to Electric Lady Studios owner Lee Foster in New York City. September 2024: U.S. Open Date The next day, the pair attended the men's singles final match at the U.S. Open . October 2024: Double Date The two stepped out for a double dinner date with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds in NYC.

Jos Buttler 's team then take on Afghanistan at the same venue four days later before completing their Group A fixtures in Karachi, where South Africa will be their opponents, on March 1. Publishing the full fixture list on Christmas Eve, the ICC confirmed that although the tournament is being held in Pakistan, all India 's fixtures will be played in Dubai including the final on March 9 should they reach it. It also means that defending champions Pakistan will take on their Asian neighbours in the Emirate, the day after the England-Australia clash.
