85 super game Future of holidays revealed with incredible mountain beaches, ZERO airport queues and tech-free trips by 2054It’s that time of the year again when Delhi and its neighbouring regions brace for an annual apocalypse. Temperatures are dropping, and as the wind slows, pollutants already present in the atmosphere will settle closer to the ground. We won’t be able to breathe. All we can do is hope and pray for divine intervention — for the gods of wind and rain to show mercy. Because, let’s face it, despite all these years, we’ve done next to nothing to combat pollution effectively. The Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) was supposed to be an emergency alert system to tackle pollution spikes with immediate measures. But what do we actually do? Wait until the situation becomes unbearable, and then take half-hearted actions, that are too little, too late. Now we’re hearing that the government will play god, using cloud seeding to create artificial rain and wash away the pollutants. But we know this: moisture traps pollutants, often worsening the problem. So, let’s cut to the chase. How do we reclaim the benefits of pollution control? First, a quick recap of what’s been done so far. This story starts in the 1990s, when the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) released its report, ‘Slow Murder’, proposing an action plan. The main culprits behind pollution (and this shouldn’t surprise anyone) were vehicles, poor fuel quality and lax emission standards. In the late 1990s, the Supreme Court intervened, mandating cleaner fuel, stricter emission standards (the foundation of Bharat Stage 1, 2, 3, 4, and now 6 norms), and a boost in public transport. In 1998, the apex court ordered 11,000 buses to hit Delhi’s roads. Over 16 years later, the city hasn’t even achieved half that number. But let’s park that discussion for now. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) emerged as a leapfrog solution — a stopgap while petrol and diesel quality took another decade to improve. CNG brought immediate relief and was a game-changer at the time. Anyone who lived in Delhi in the early 2000s can tell you how controversial this decision was. But it worked. Now, as we stand on the cusp of the electric vehicle revolution, the shift to CNG offers vital lessons. The tech challenge Back then, no country had adopted CNG for vehicles at the scale Delhi proposed. Affordability was another issue. Policies had to guide technological innovation — designing safety standards and bus prototypes, for instance. Financial incentives helped phase out old buses and auto-rick-shaws in favour of CNG models. The implementation challenge This wasn’t about rolling out a few CNG buses. The court ordered a complete transition within two to three years. Coordination and swift decision-making were crucial. Today, Delhi boasts an ambitious e-bus plan. But it’s crawling along, failing to match the explosive rise in private vehicle ownership. In 2023, the number of private vehicles registered in Delhi doubled compared to the previous year. Despite rising petrol and diesel prices eating into household budgets, the surge in private cars chokes not only the roads but also every investment in infrastructure, technology and cleaner fuel. Meanwhile, countless old vehicles still spew pollutants unchecked. The math is simple: even if new vehicles are cleaner, their sheer numbers negate any benefits. The second culprit: dirty fuels From kitchen stoves to factories and thermal power plants, the fuels we burn — primarily biomass or coal — are the second major source of pollution. The Supreme Court banned the dirtiest fuel, petcoke, while Delhi government prohibited coal usage, later extending the ban across the National Capital Region. Thermal power plants were supposed to clean up or shut down. Yet, progress here has been sluggish. The CNG shift taught us that bans only work when people have alternatives. When diesel buses were scrapped, CNG supplies had to be reliable and affordable. Similarly, fiscal policies ensured that clean fuel remained cheaper than its dirtier counterpart. Now, while coal is banned, the high cost of natural gas is driving industries to the brink of non-competitiveness. This is a recipe for failure. The way forward There’s so much more to say, and I promise to keep speaking up about this. But here’s the crux: clean air requires year-round effort. It demands collective action on a massive scale. Let’s stop waiting for miracles. It’s time to act — and act decisively.

Pep Guardiola: It’s my responsibility to solve Manchester City’s poor runNoneWhen you hear the words mucus and snot, you might think of colds, snails or drooling babies. But the runny, sometimes sticky substance often plays a vital role in our lives, and mucus also has the potential to be a medicine. From the moist passages of the nose to the winding paths of the intestines, about ten liters of mucus are produced daily. The mucus that most demands our attention is snot—even though we do not notice even a fraction of the approximately two deciliters of snot produced daily. Pär Stjärne, docent at the Department of Clinical Science, Intervention and Technology, Karolinska Institutet, has primarily researched chronic rhinitis (inflammations), in the nose and sinus mucosa. "The nose has many important tasks that we are not aware of, and the mucous membrane, with its outermost layer of mucus, is essential for all of them," says Stjärne. The nose is not the only part of the immune system where it traps particles, viruses and bacteria in the snot. The nasal mucosa also acts as humidifiers and heat exchangers, "optimizing" the air before it reaches the lungs. The mucosa is also essential for our sense of smell. That is just a handful of the nose's functions. "The nose is able to manage all its tasks partly because it is lined with mucosa, but also due to its narrow anatomical structure, which creates turbulence. The turbulence in the inhaled air causes particles larger than ten micrometers to be ejected into the mucosa, where cilia transport the particles towards the throat," says Stjärne. The functions of the nose are ultimately controlled by the brainstem. Through neurotransmitters, it regulates, among other things, how much or little snot the mucous glands should produce and the blood flow to the nasal mucosa. It is not a myth that one can become addicted to certain nasal sprays —those containing so-called alpha-adrenergic agonists—to reduce swelling and mucus production in the nose. "If used longer than intended, usually ten days, there is a high risk of developing medication-induced nasal congestion. This is because the number of alpha receptors in the nose decreases. When this happens, the brainstem neurotransmitters become ineffective, and more decongestant nasal spray is needed to avoid congestion," says Stjärne. The only cure is to stop spraying and endure a few weeks of congestion until the body's own system kicks in again. "This is a very troublesome situation and unfortunately not uncommon. During the weaning process, it tends to be worst at bedtime as the nose swells more. I usually recommend these patients to take a puff of decongestant children's nasal spray in one nostril at bedtime." The color of the snot does not indicate the cause The idea that the color of the snot can indicate the cause of the infection is a myth, however. Colds are almost always caused by viruses, which produce a transparent snot as the mucous membrane responds with intense mucus production. This makes us want to sneeze, and our noses run. When you think about it, have you ever had a cold where the snot was colored from the start? "The change in color of the snot is due to the mucus becoming thicker over time as a result of dead cells such as white blood cells and bacteria. Bacterial growth often occurs later in the cold, when the normally harmless bacteria in the nose have had a chance to grow undisturbed while immune cells have targeted the virus," says Stjärne. It becomes, as Stjärne puts it, "an inflammatory soup" that maintains the inflammation and is therefore good to remove with the help of nasal spray or homemade nasal rinse with half a teaspoon of table salt and five deciliters of lukewarm tap water. "The important thing is to use clean tools in the form of a syringe or nasal cannula. Otherwise, there is a risk that they become breeding grounds for bacteria, prolonging the infection. As for rinsing your nose, even if you have no problems, there is no scientific evidence, but many people find it increases their well-being. I do it myself," says Stjärne. When it comes to people with chronic rhinitis, long-term inflammation of the nasal mucous membranes, whether due to an allergy or not, there is much to suggest that nasal rinsing is beneficial for mucus production, according to Stjärne. Moreover, working in a dry indoor environment with central ventilation, as many do, dries out the mucous membranes, which changes the pH of the nose and causes inflammation. There are no reliable statistics on how many people suffer from non-allergic rhinitis and chronic nasal congestion, but Stjärne believes it can be classified as a common disease. "I once conducted a survey in my studies that showed that 25 percent of Stockholmers had nasal congestion lasting more than three months." The cause of chronic, non-allergic rhinitis varies, and in some cases, the cause is unknown. "Many factors can affect the nose, from the air environment and hormonal conditions such as pregnancy to medication. All blood pressure-lowering medications can potentially also affect the nasal mucosa," says Stjärne. In response to the question of whether he has any fun facts about snot, he talks about the form snot takes when he operates on chronically inflamed sinuses. "It is an extremely tough secretion that we pull out, sometimes half a meter outside the body, like a long rubber band," says Stjärne. Protecting the intestinal mucosa If the mucosa in the nose is the body's first line of defense, the intestinal mucosa could be described as the second. In addition to handling the snot we swallow, it must interact with everything we consciously put in our mouths. Charlotte Hedin, gastroenterologist and researcher at the Gastrointestinal Centre at Karolinska University Hospital and Karolinska Institutet, has spent many years studying the intestinal mucosa in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). "If the villi (tiny finger-like projections) are taken into account, the intestinal mucosa is the largest surface in the human body that interacts with the outside world. No other part of the body has the same interaction with our environment," says Hedin. Just like the nose, the production of mucus is a complex process regulated by several factors, including hormones and immune cells. A major difference, however, is that the mucus and the environment in the intestines are affected by the food we eat. A current research area is to find out how the mucosa is affected by today's modern ultra-processed foods. "It has been observed that chemicals such as emulsifiers and preservatives can make the mucus layer in the intestines thinner, making the intestinal barrier more permeable and potentially increasing the risk of inflammation," says Hedin. The intestinal mucosa is also unique compared to other mucous membranes in the body because it is incredibly dynamic. This allows it to absorb nutrients from food while keeping out disease-causing microorganisms at the same time. However, sometimes the intestinal mucosa fails in its task, such as when we get food poisoning. "What happens during such an intestinal infection is that the mucosa is damaged or thinned out. It can even disappear completely. For healthy individuals, the mucosa repairs itself very quickly. However, this is not the case for the patients on whom Hedin focuses her research—those with IBD, where Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are the most common diagnoses. Her major research questions are to understand how inflammation arises and how to promote mucosal healing. "The problem with current immunosuppressive treatment is that it does not help everyone with IBD and also that it causes side effects. We really need to find alternatives, and we can do that if we understand why some respond to treatment and heal, and others do not," she says. A large study is currently underway where Hedin and her colleagues have collected samples from the intestinal mucosa of IBD patients when it is most severely inflamed. They have then followed up with new samples at various times after the patients have received treatment. "Some patients get a great effect from immunosuppressive drugs while others are not helped at all. It will be very interesting to compare these samples and see what differs between them. The analyses will be carried out next year and hopefully, it will provide answers as to which molecules or chemicals are activated during healing. "The dream is to find a drug that can promote the healing process without suppressing the immune system. That would really be a long-awaited complement to current treatment," says Hedin. Cow mucus can prevent transmission of viruses We have now established that mucus plays a crucial role in our bodies. But the benefits of mucus extend far beyond its natural functions in our bodies. Hongji Yan, a researcher at Uppsala University and affiliated with AIMES at Karolinska Institutet, leads the work on exploring the potential of mucin, the main non-water-based component of natural mucus. Using mucin from cows, his research team has managed to recreate mucus-like gels. "Our gels are versatile and can be customized for different biomedical applications as they can appear in both solid and liquid form," says Yan. The ability of mucus to take different forms is crucial. As a solid, it can trap viruses and prevent their movement towards the epithelial cells under the mucosa. In liquid form, it can remove virus particles that have reached the epithelium. One of the gels he has developed will hopefully be able to prevent the transmission of HIV and herpes. Laboratory tests on different cell types have shown promising results; the gel prevented HIV infection in 70% of cases and herpes transmission in 80% of cases. "A major advantage is that this gel can be used without the risk of developing antimicrobial resistance, which is a problem with antiviral drugs. We hope to test the infection protection in animal studies in two to three years," says Yan. In addition to protection against sexually transmitted viral infections, Yan believes that these gels could also protect against bacterial infections such as gonorrhea and chlamydia. His research group has also developed mucin-based gels that remain stable in the body and can function as implants. "The gels can be injected into the body where they then solidify. They can also be molded in the desired way before implantation," he explains. Studies on mice suggest that these gels could be useful in herniated disk surgery to protect intervertebral disks from post-operative inflammation. "In our studies, we have seen that a simple injection at the surgical site can protect both the nucleus and the vertebral body from further degeneration," says Yan. Another potential application is transplant surgery. Yan and his colleagues are currently investigating the possibility of preventing the rejection of insulin-producing pancreatic cells after transplantation to people with type 1 diabetes. "We are trying to create a gel that can be used as an immunoprotective coating around these cell islets when they are injected into the body. The gel should protect the cells from being attacked by the immune system while not preventing them from releasing insulin once they are transplanted," says Yan. If he is allowed to make a prediction, mucus-based treatments and medicines will play a significant role in the future. "Nature provides us with invaluable insights for the design of biomaterials. Right now, we are in an exciting time where we are learning to replicate and customize the properties of gels with mucins for various medical applications," he says.

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — Jonathan Greenard was gassed, gasping for breath and gulping some water late in the game on Minnesota's sideline, having chased around Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray to the point of sheer exhaustion after fighting through an illness all week. The Cardinals faced fourth down in those closing seconds on Sunday , trailing by one, and Greenard needed a break. Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell let defensive coordinator Brian Flores see the formation the Cardinals sent out and deftly called timeout. The Vikings badly wanted Greenard, who'd been battling an illness all week, back in the game. “'You ready to go? You ready to go? You ready to go?'” O'Connell asked, smiling later as he reflected on his eagerness and the rarity of using a timeout to give a defensive player a rest. “No doubt, he was going back on the field and going to have a really impactful snap.” Greenard and the rest of the pass rush put enough heat on Murray to force a hurried throw that Shaquill Griffin intercepted to seal a 23-22 comeback victory that stretched Minnesota's winning streak to five. “He’s playing some high-level football. I don’t know where we’re at with postseason accolades, but he should be in the conversation for a number of those,” Flores said. “I feel like I say this every week: We’re lucky to have him.” Greenard is tied for fourth in the NFL with 32 pressures, according to Sportradar tracking. He's also tied for fourth in the league with 10 sacks. “He’s always popping off the tape, no matter what week it is,” teammate Harrison Smith said. “Especially in crunch time.” Those basic statistics only begin to show the impact Greenard has made on the Vikings, who made him their top priority in free agency this year once it was clear Danielle Hunter priced himself out of the plan. Greenard has not only blossomed into one of the league's most effective edge rushers after four injury-limited seasons with Houston, but he has also been a major part of Minnesota's success against the ground attack to the tune of an NFL-leading average allowance of 81.3 rushing yards per game. “The underrated part is just the all-down aspect of the physicality, setting edges, playing blocks and making some plays at or behind the line of scrimmage that set up his chances to then rush the passer,” O'Connell said. “He’s played a ton. We’re trying to be aware of just how much he’s played and see if we can give him some spurts here and there where we can kind of keep his play count where we want it, but at the same time he’s one of our best players. As I like to call him, he’s the closer.” Never was that nickname more evident than against the Cardinals. Pushed wide on his rush by left tackle Paris Johnson Jr., Greenard stabbed at Murray with his left hand to graze just enough of the ball to poke it loose. Murray fell on it to maintain possession, but the sack put the Cardinals in an uphill third-and-13 play. This time, Greenard deftly slid to the inside to keep full vision on one of the NFL’s most elusive quarterbacks. Pressure by Patrick Jones prompted Murray to take off as he barely avoided another sack, and Greenard was in ideal position to minimize the scramble. Once Murray hesitated to try to juke him and approaching cornerback Byron Murphy for more yardage, Greenard caught up and corralled him — inbounds, forcing the Cardinals to burn another timeout — for a 3-yard gain. Afterward, Greenard drew a straight line from those plays back to his offseason training. “If your tongue ain’t on the ground after your workouts, I feel like you’re not doing enough, especially the guys on the quarterbacks,” Greenard said. With the U.S. Bank Stadium crowd roaring, Greenard doubled over and asked to be subbed out. “I just wanted to show that I’m running my tail off to that football. It just so happened that he cut back and I was like, ‘Oh, perfect,'” Greenard said. “That was tough.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL

A.Vikings defense has had a big boost this season from the indefatigable Jonathan GreenardLONDON: Gaza Cola, a Palestinian soft drink launched as a “genocide-free” alternative, has taken the UK by storm. According to an International media outlet, this unique beverage, branded as “racism-free,” is gaining traction amidst global boycotts of major companies accused of supporting Israeli actions in Palestine. Available at Hiba Express, a Palestinian restaurant located in Holborn, central London, the drink’s cans feature Arabic calligraphy and the Palestinian flag, embodying a powerful message of resistance. The food chain, housed in the six-story Palestine House , serves as a hub for Palestinian culture and solidarity. Osama Qashoo, the 43-year-old creator of Gaza Cola, launched the drink in November 2023. Inspired by a mission for justice, Qashoo said, “This drink is about freedom — a taste untainted by violence or oppression.” A refugee forced to flee Palestine in 2003 for opposing Israel’s controversial wall, Qashoo’s vision for Gaza Cola is clear: to boycott brands linked to oppression and provide a sip of liberation. The cola, sweet and fizzy like Coca-Cola but made with a unique recipe, is rapidly becoming a symbol of ethical consumerism and solidarity with Palestine.

In January 2024 the judges at the court ordered Israel to ensure its troops commit no genocidal acts. The court has not yet ruled on the core of the case – whether genocide has occurred in Gaza. Israel says accusations of genocide in its Gaza campaign are baseless and that it is solely hunting down Hamas and other groups. “Following today’s report in Vatican News: There was a genocidal massacre on 7 October 2023 of Israeli citizens, and since then, Israel has exercised its right of self-defense against attempts from seven different fronts to kill its citizens,” said Yaron Sideman, ambassador to the Holy See. “Any attempt to call it by any other name is singling out the Jewish state,” he posted on social media.

Facebook Twitter WhatsApp SMS Email Print Copy article link Save WASHINGTON — A top White House official said Wednesday at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations were impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger offered new details about the breadth of the sprawling Chinese hacking campaign that gave officials in Beijing access to private texts and phone conversations of an unknown number of Americans. FILE - The American and Chinese flags wave at Genting Snow Park ahead of the 2022 Winter Olympics, in Zhangjiakou, China, on Feb. 2, 2022. A top White House official on Wednesday said at least eight U.S. telecom firms and dozens of nations have been impacted by a Chinese hacking campaign. (AP Photo/Kiichiro Sato, File) Neuberger divulged the scope of the hack a day after the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued guidance intended to help root out the hackers and prevent similar cyberespionage in the future. White House officials cautioned that the number of telecommunication firms and countries impacted could grow. People are also reading...

She added that Biden was briefed on the findings and the White House “made it a priority for the federal government to do everything it can to get to the bottom this.” US officials recommend encrypted messaging apps amid "Salt Typhoon" cyberattack, attributed to China, targeting AT&T, Verizon, and others. The Chinese embassy in Washington rejected the accusations that it was responsible for the hack Tuesday after the U.S. federal authorities issued new guidance. “The U.S. needs to stop its own cyberattacks against other countries and refrain from using cyber security to smear and slander China,” embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said. The embassy did not immediately respond to messages Wednesday. White House officials believe the hacking was regionally targeted and the focus was on very senior government officials. Federal authorities confirmed in October that hackers linked to China targeted the phones of then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance, along with people associated with Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris. FBI tells telecom firms to boost security following wide-ranging Chinese hacking campaign By DAVID KLEPPER - Associated Press The number of countries impacted by the hack is currently believed to be in the “low, couple dozen,” according to a senior administration official. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity under rules set by the White House, said they believed the hacks started at least a year or two ago. The suggestions for telecom companies released Tuesday are largely technical in nature, urging encryption, centralization and consistent monitoring to deter cyber intrusions. If implemented, the security precautions could help disrupt the operation, dubbed Salt Typhoon, and make it harder for China or any other nation to mount a similar attack in the future, experts say. Trump's pick to head the Federal Bureau of Investigation Kash Patel was allegedly the target of cyberattack attempt by Iranian-backed hackers. Neuberger pointed to efforts made to beef up cybersecurity in the rail, aviation, energy and other sectors following the May 2021 ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline . “So, to prevent ongoing Salt Typhoon type intrusions by China, we believe we need to apply a similar minimum cybersecurity practice,” Neuberger said. The cyberattack by a gang of criminal hackers on the critical U.S. pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel used along the Eastern Seaboard, sent ripple effects across the economy, highlighting cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the nation’s aging energy infrastructure. Colonial confirmed it paid $4.4 million to the gang of hackers who broke into its computer systems as it scrambled to get the nation's fuel pipeline back online. 5 tips for protecting your phone while traveling abroad Back up your phone's data If your phone falls into the wrong hands, there's a good chance you won't be getting it back. Out of those 91,000 phones stolen in London in 2022, only 1,915 (or about 2%) were recovered. The good news is that you can take precautions to make the loss of your phone less devastating by backing up your data before you travel. With backed-up data, you can acquire a new device and still access your photos, contacts, messages, and passwords. Moreover, if you have "Find My Device" or "Find My Phone" enabled, you can remotely wipe your stolen phone's data so the thief cannot access it. It's safest to back up your data to a hard drive and not just the cloud. That way, if you have to wipe your device, you don't accidentally erase the backup, too. Protect your passwords Strong passwords for important accounts help protect your information while you travel, but it's just a first step. The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends creating long, unique, and complex passwords for every account and combining them with multifactor authentication to create maximum barriers to entry. If you're worried about remembering these passwords, password managers can be a vital tool for both creating and storing strong passwords. Password managers are apps that act as secure vaults for all your passwords. Some even come with a feature that allows you to temporarily delete sensitive passwords before you travel and then easily restore them once you return. Story editing by Mia Nakaji Monnier.

Opposition Victory In Ghana Signals APC’s Defeat In 2027 – PDPBy Eric Martin, Bloomberg News (TNS) WASHINGTON — As a candidate, Donald Trump disavowed the MAGA manifesto Project 2025 , calling its ideas “abysmal.” Now the president-elect has nominated or appointed to his incoming administration at least five people involved in the project. The plan became public more than a year ago as the presidential campaign was intensifying. The project was led by the conservative Heritage Foundation and included views of anti-immigrant, anti-reproductive rights, small-government conservatives, gifting Democrats with an easy bullseye for attacks on Trump’s “extreme” views, as Democratic nominee Kamala Harris called them. The plan proposes to eliminate climate-change rules, lessen worker protections, replace civil servants with Trump loyalists and dismantle at least parts of the Education, Commerce and Homeland Security departments, among other things. More: Latest Trump picks include wrestling’s Linda McMahon for education department Trump distanced himself from Project 2025 on the campaign trail, claiming to know nothing about it and saying he disagreed with some of its “absolutely ridiculous and abysmal” ideas. His own transition co-chair — and now Commerce Secretary-designate — Howard Lutnick told The Washington Post, “I won’t take a list from them. I won’t take a topic from them. I won’t touch them. They made themselves nuclear.” At least five people involved in Project 2025 have been tapped for jobs in the second Trump administration. Brendan Carr, author of the document’s chapter on the Federal Communications Commission, was nominated to lead the agency that regulates television and the Internet. Carr’s recommendations in Project 2025 include limiting protections for Big Tech companies that conservatives allege over-moderate content, particularly Meta Inc.’s Facebook and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. After his nomination, Carr pledged in a post on X to “dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans.” Russ Vought, author of a core chapter arguing for cutting the size of the federal bureaucracy and strengthening the president’s control over it, has been nominated to lead the Office of Management and Budget, according to CBS News . In his chapter, Vought focuses on reducing the size of government and allowing empowered political appointees to overrule career bureaucrats. Vought also encourages the aggressive use of executive orders from the start of the administration — something that Trump spokesman Jason Miller said the president-elect plans to do. Tom Homan was tapped for a “border czar” role, and is listed as a contributor to the report. Project 2025 focuses on deporting millions of undocumented migrants, especially criminals. Trump says he plans to declare a national emergency, which would allow him to deploy the military to round up immigrants, guard detention camps and fly them out of the country. Homan, the public face of Trump’s zero-tolerance policies of his first term, has said that this time, he will brook no resistance in liberal cities. “If you’re not going to help us, get the hell out of the way,” he warned sanctuary cities. More: Pa. farm industry braces for raids, deportations under proposed Trump policy John Ratcliffe was nominated to lead the Central Intelligence Agency and is another named contributor to Project 2025. Ratcliffe, a former member of Congress and Trump’s director of national intelligence in his first term, has consistently warned about the need to protect the U.S. against Beijing’s aim to dominate economically, militarily and technologically, and criticized China’s largest companies as a front for the Communist Party. Project 2025 likewise warns extensively about the need to guard against the threat from China. Pete Hoekstra was nominated as the ambassador to Canada. A former member of the House intelligence committee, he was Trump’s envoy to the Netherlands in the first term and was criticized for hosting far-right politicians at an embassy party. Hoekstra is listed as a Project 2025 contributor, with the report noting his 1990s’ criticism of waste at the Department of Education, which Trump said he would dismantle. None of the nominees immediately responded to requests for comment. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Karoline Leavitt, a Trump spokeswoman and his choice for press secretary. “All of President Trump’s Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump’s agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Eighteen of the 40 Project 2025 authors and editors come from the first Trump first administration. Those include Ken Cuccinelli, the former acting deputy head of Homeland Security; Christopher Miller, the former acting Defense secretary; and Peter Navarro, a top trade adviser.

A Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action report warned that current trends of delays to the high-voltage projects along with early closures of coal power exposed Victorians to significant bill shock. A protest against the KerangLink transmission project was mowed into a field last year. Credit: Glenden Watts It made the case for accelerating Marinus Link, a new connection to Tasmania due for completion in 2030, and KerangLink, which provides a new connection between Victoria and NSW that is due to be finished in 2032. KerangLink will mean power stored by the Snowy 2.0 hydropower project can be siphoned to Victoria and power generated by Victoria’s new wind farms can be sent north, improving the reliability of the grid. The 2022 report, obtained by the state opposition under freedom-of-information laws and provided to The Age, found if the projects were completed even one year later, the increase to household energy bills would be $48 annually, or $717 over 15 years between 2026 and 2040. A four-year delay would add $321 annually to power bills or $4816 over 15 years, according to the Endgame Economics modelling. Since the report was written, Marinus Link is now expected to be delivered by 2032 — two years later than modelled. KerangLink is still forecast to be finalised by the end of this decade but has been beset by community and political opposition. The extra costs for consumers would largely be driven by the cost of having to import more energy from interstate.

Third Quarter Fiscal Year 2025 Highlights (All metrics are compared to the third quarter of fiscal year 2024 unless otherwise noted) Financial Outlook We are providing the following guidance for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, and for fiscal year 2025 (ending January 31, 2025).

We have not provided the most directly comparable GAAP measures because certain items are out of our control or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating margin is not available without unreasonable effort.

However, not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. There are a significant number of factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from statements made in this press release, including but not limited to: our limited operating history; our history of losses; intense competition in the market we compete in; fluctuations in our operating results; actual or perceived network or security incidents against us; our ability to successfully integrate any acquisitions and strategic investments; actual or perceived defects, errors or vulnerabilities in our platform; risks associated with managing our rapid growth; general global market, political, economic, and business conditions, including those related to declining global macroeconomic conditions, the change in the U.S. presidential administration, actual or perceived instability in the banking sector, supply chain disruptions, a potential recession, inflation, interest rate volatility, and geopolitical uncertainty, including the effects of the conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine and tensions between China and Taiwan; our ability to attract new and retain existing customers, or renew and expand our relationships with them; the ability of our platform to effectively interoperate within our customers' IT infrastructure; disruptions or other business interruptions that affect the availability of our platform including cybersecurity incidents; the failure to timely develop and achieve market acceptance of new products and subscriptions as well as existing products, subscriptions and support offerings; rapidly evolving technological developments in the market for security products and subscription and support offerings; length of sales cycles; and risks of securities class action litigation.

You should not rely on these forward-looking statements, as actual outcomes and results may differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements as a result of such risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information and estimates available to us as of the date hereof, and were based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts, and projections as well as the beliefs and assumptions of management. We do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date of this press release or to reflect new information or the occurrence of unexpected events, except as required by law. We may not actually achieve the plans, intentions, or expectations disclosed in our forward-looking statements, and you should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. Non-GAAP Financial Measures In addition to our results being determined in accordance with GAAP, we believe the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating our operating performance. We use the following non-GAAP financial information to evaluate our ongoing operations and for internal planning and forecasting purposes. We believe that non-GAAP financial information, when taken collectively, with the financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, may be helpful to investors because it provides consistency and comparability with past financial performance. However, non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP. Other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate similarly titled non-GAAP measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures as tools for comparison. In addition, the utility of free cash flow as a measure of our liquidity is limited as it does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for a given period. Reconciliations between non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measure stated in accordance with GAAP are contained below. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. As presented in the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Information” table below, each of the non-GAAP financial measures excludes one or more of the following items: Stock-based compensation expense Stock-based compensation expense is a non-cash expense that varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond our control. As a result, management excludes this item from our internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for stock-based compensation expense provide investors with a basis to measure our core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by stock-based compensation as a result of the variety of equity awards used by other companies and the varying methodologies and assumptions used. Employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions Employer payroll tax expenses related to employee stock transactions are tied to the vesting or exercise of underlying equity awards and the price of our common stock at the time of vesting, which varies in amount from period to period and is dependent on market forces that are often beyond our control. As a result, management excludes this item from our internal operating forecasts and models. Management believes that non-GAAP measures adjusted for employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions provide investors with a basis to measure our core performance against the performance of other companies without the variability created by employer payroll taxes on employee stock transactions as a result of the stock price at the time of employee exercise. Amortization of acquired intangible assets Amortization of acquired intangible asset expense is tied to the intangible assets that were acquired in conjunction with acquisitions, which results in non-cash expenses that may not otherwise have been incurred. Management believes excluding the expense associated with intangible assets from non-GAAP measures allows for a more accurate assessment of our ongoing operations and provides investors with a better comparison of period-over-period operating results. Acquisition-related compensation costs Acquisition-related compensation costs include cash-based compensation expenses resulting from the employment retention of certain employees established in accordance with the terms of each acquisition. Acquisition-related cash-based compensation costs have been excluded as they were specifically negotiated as part of the acquisitions in order to retain such employees and relate to cash compensation that was made either in lieu of stock-based compensation or where the grant of stock-based compensation awards was not practicable. In most cases, these acquisition-related compensation costs are not factored into management’s evaluation of potential acquisitions or our performance after completion of acquisitions, because they are not related to our core operating performance. In addition, the frequency and amount of such charges can vary significantly based on the size and timing of acquisitions and the maturities of the businesses being acquired. Excluding acquisition-related compensation costs from non-GAAP measures provides investors with a basis to compare our results against those of other companies without the variability caused by purchase accounting. Restructuring charges Restructuring charges primarily relate to severance payments, employee benefits, stock-based compensation, and inventory write-offs. These restructuring charges are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude restructuring charges from non-GAAP financial measures because it enables the comparison of period-over-period operating results from continuing operations. Gains and losses on strategic investments Gains and losses on strategic investments relate to the subsequent changes in the recorded value of our strategic investments. These gains and losses are excluded from non-GAAP financial measures because they are the result of discrete events that are not considered core-operating activities. We believe that it is appropriate to exclude gains and losses from strategic investments from non-GAAP financial measures because it enables the comparison of period-over-period net income (loss). Dilutive shares applying the treasury stock method During periods in which we incur a net loss under a GAAP basis, we exclude certain potential common stock equivalents from our GAAP diluted shares because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. In periods where we have net income on a non-GAAP basis, these common stock equivalents would have been dilutive. Accordingly, we have included the impact of these common stock equivalents in the calculation of our non-GAAP diluted net income per share applying the treasury stock method. Non-GAAP Cost of Revenue, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Gross Margin, Non-GAAP Loss from Operations, Non-GAAP Operating Margin, Non-GAAP Net Loss and Non-GAAP Net Loss Per Share We define these non-GAAP financial measures as their respective GAAP measures, excluding the expenses referenced above. We use these non-GAAP financial measures as part of our overall assessment of our performance, including the preparation of our annual operating budget and quarterly forecasts, to evaluate the effectiveness of our business strategies, and to communicate with our board of directors concerning our financial performance. Free Cash Flow We define free cash flow as cash (used in) provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment and capitalized internal-use software costs. We believe free cash flow is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides our management, board of directors, and investors with information about our future ability to generate or use cash to enhance the strength of our balance sheet and further invest in our business and pursue potential strategic initiatives. Key Business Metrics We monitor the following key metrics to help us evaluate our business, identify trends affecting our business, formulate business plans, and make strategic decisions. Annualized Recurring Revenue (ARR) We believe that ARR is a key operating metric to measure our business because it is driven by our ability to acquire new subscription and consumption and usage-based customers, and to maintain and expand our relationship with existing customers. ARR represents the annualized revenue run rate of our subscription and consumption and usage-based agreements at the end of a reporting period, assuming contracts are renewed on their existing terms for customers that are under contracts with us. ARR is not a forecast of future revenue, which can be impacted by contract start and end dates, usage, renewal rates, and other contractual terms. Customers with ARR of $100,000 or More We believe that our ability to increase the number of customers with ARR of $100,000 or more is an indicator of our market penetration and strategic demand for our platform. We define a customer as an entity that has an active subscription for access to our platform. We count Managed Service Providers, Managed Security Service Providers, Managed Detection & Response firms, and Original Equipment Manufacturers, who may purchase our products on behalf of multiple companies, as a single customer. We do not count our reseller or distributor channel partners as customers.
