In Brief Floki has unveiled a proposal to request the DAO to allocate liquidity for its FLOKI exchange-traded product, scheduled for release in Q1 2025, and is seeking votes until December 27th. Dog-themed memecoin (FLOKI) unveiled plans to launch a Floki exchange-traded product (ETP) following comprehensive due diligence. The investment product is scheduled for release in Q1 2025, pending approval from the Floki DAO to allocate liquidity for the initiative. Voting on the proposal is currently underway and is set to conclude on December 27th. As part of prior community decisions, Floki conducted several buybacks approximately three years ago. The project now holds 16,310,285,772.6 FLOKI tokens in its designated wallet and proposes using a portion of these tokens to provide liquidity for the ETP, while the remaining tokens would be burned on the ETP’s launch day. Although specific details about the remain under wraps due to non-disclosure agreements, Floki assures that any approved actions will align with the DAO’s mandate. A detailed announcement is expected closer to the ETP’s launch when disclosures are permissible. The proposal also emphasizes that any tokens allocated for liquidity purposes will remain under Floki’s ownership and can be retrieved in the future if sufficient third-party liquidity is established within the ETP. An ETP is a financial instrument traded on stock exchanges, similar to an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), but with distinctions in structure and purpose. ETPs are designed to seamlessly integrate with the traditional financial (TradFi) ecosystem, providing a bridge for TradFi investors to securely access, buy, and hold assets like Floki in a regulated and transparent manner. Both ETPs and ETFs share the goal of making assets accessible to institutional and retail investors through clear regulatory frameworks. The Floki ETP is nearing its final development stages and is set to become tradable on the SIX Swiss Exchange, Switzerland’s largest stock exchange and the third-largest in Europe. Once launched, the Floki ETP will enable institutional investors, regulated entities, and retail investors to gain exposure to FLOKI under a regulated framework. Currently, Dogecoin is the only memecoin with an active ETP. aims to join it as the second memecoin to achieve this milestone. However, a distinction lies in the exchanges hosting these products. While Dogecoin’s ETP is live on Sweden’s Spotlight Stock Market, the Floki ETP will debut on the SIX Swiss Exchange, a larger and more prominent exchange in Switzerland—a country renowned for its pristine qualities and premium reputation.

Edmunds: Five dream-worthy vehicles you wish you got for the holidays
Just about everyone dreams about cars they wish they could own, and there’s no better time than the holidays to make a list of vehicles you’d love to have in your driveway. The car pros at Edmunds rounded up five of their favorite dream-worthy vehicles. But rather than just list the most outlandish and expensive exotics, they focused on highlighting models that are expensive but not so pricey that it’d be completely unrealistic for you to own one one day. The vehicles are ordered in ascending order of price and include destination fees. Ford F-150 Raptor R Off-road trucks look fantastic and are extremely capable. What truck enthusiast wouldn’t have one topping their wish list? The king of the hill for 2025 is the F-150 Raptor R. The regular Raptor is already impressive, and the R takes it to the next level with a bonkers 720-horsepower supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine, upgraded Fox dual-value shock absorbers, and massive 37-inch all-terrain tires. An R-specific grille and hood are also part of the R’s upgrades. Thankfully, the Raptor R isn’t all bark and bite. It also has plenty of features to make it a livable truck for daily driving. Standard features include leather upholstery, cooling front seats, a premium sound system, and a surround-view camera to help make this big truck easier to park. Starting Price: $112,825 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Few sedans can match the Mercedes-Benz S-Class for opulence, luxury and prestige. This grand sedan showcases nearly every luxury, technology and performance innovation that Mercedes-Benz has concocted. Everything you touch inside is likely covered in leather, heated, or bathed in disco-worthy ambient light. A novel could be written about all of the S-Class’ luxury and comfort features, but one of the most notable is the E-Active Body Control system. It scans the road surface ahead and adjusts the suspension to deliver the best ride possible. The S-Class also boasts an extensive list of advanced safety features and has an augmented reality head-up display that projects images that appear to float in front of the car. For the ultimate S-Class, get the 791-horsepower AMG S 63 E Performance model. Starting Price: $118,900 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 Who needs a European exotic car when the Corvette ZR1 is just as capable? A sports car fanatic’s wish list wouldn’t be right without the ZR1. The new Corvette hit a record-setting top speed of 233 mph, making it the fastest car ever built by an American automaker and the fastest current production car priced under $1 million, according to Chevrolet. The top speed record was possible thanks to the ZR1’s turbocharged 5.5-liter V8 engine that cranks out a staggering 1,064 horsepower. Its carbon-fiber aero package kept it glued to the track by generating over 1,200 pounds of downforce at top speed. Chevrolet also says the ZR1 can accelerate through the quarter mile in less than 10 seconds. We expect the Corvette ZR1 to go on sale in early 2025. Estimated starting price: $150,000 Cadillac Escalade-V Does your wish list include a big and powerful SUV? If it does, the Escalade-V should top it. The big Caddy roars like a muscle car thanks to its supercharged 6.2-liter V8 that churns out 682 horsepower and helps it hit 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds. The Escalade-V also boasts enormous 24-inch wheels and large Brembo brakes that help bring the three-ton SUV to a stop. But the Escalade-V isn’t only about brute power. It also has three rows of seating, plenty of cargo space and offers impressive tech like Super Cruise, a hands-free highway driving system, and an enormous 55-inch curved display that spans the dashboard. Starting Price: $161,990 Lucid Air Sapphire What if we told you there was a car that could outpace almost anything on a drag strip, keep up with high-end sports cars on a racetrack, and be comfortable enough for daily errands? Well, if that sounds amazing, add the Air Sapphire to your dream list. The Air Sapphire is a high-performance electric luxury sedan made by Lucid, an electric vehicle startup. It’s one of the most powerful production cars in the world, producing an astonishing 1,234 horsepower from its three electric motors. Lucid says it has a top speed of 205 mph and can rocket to 60 mph in a mind-numbing 1.9 seconds. You can adjust the vehicle’s setting for exceptional track performance or simply provide a comfortable ride around town. Starting price: $250,500 Edmunds says Even if you can’t afford any of these vehicles, you can still picture one sitting in your driveway or imagine yourself cruising around town in it. And who knows, maybe holiday magic will give you the opportunity to own one in the future. ____ This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds .

Michael Cantu, The Associated PressTHIBODAUX, La. — Riley Callaghan kicked four field goals including a 40-yarder on the game's final play to lift Southeastern Louisiana to a 19-16 win over Nicholls on Thursday night in a regular-season finale for both teams. Callaghan's winning field goal came after a 14-play, 51-yard drive that took nearly five minutes. The drive began after KK Reno's interception. Nicholls had tied the game on an 84-yard pass from Pat McQuaide to Scrabby Osby early in the fourth quarter though the PAT was wide. The Lions (7-5, 6-1) are a half-game back of Incarnate Word in the Southern Conference standings with the Cardinals playing East Texas A&M on Saturday. A Cardinals loss would give the Lions a share of the conference title but Incarnate Word gets the automatic berth for the FCS playoffs because of a 34-31 win over the Lions. Eli Sawyer threw for 157 yards and a touchdown to Darius Lewis for the Lions. Pat McQuaide threw for 298 yards for the Colonels (4-8, 2-5). McQuaide scrambled 9 yards for Nicholls' other touchdown. The Lions led 16-10 at halftime. __ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.

The healthcare industry unfortunately undertakes the highest cost of a data breach out of all industries. This can be anywhere up to $7.13 million lost in a single cyberattack. Personal identifiable information (PII), protected under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act ( HIPAA ), is often thought of as being exchanged between doctors and patients or between facilities. Protected health information (PHI), however, includes every bit of identifiable information in medical records that are created and used in a healthcare setting, including laboratories. To keep laboratory information safe, managers must first understand why cybersecurity is important. Cybersecurity keeps cyber threats at bay. These can be internal or external threats. Cyberattacks are often malicious and intended to garner valuable information that is then distributed or used for nefarious purposes, such as identity theft and fraud. Some of the most common types of cyberthreats include: Learning about these threats and how to prevent them is crucial to the security of the laboratory data. Healthcare risk management depends on your ability to predict and thwart cyberattacks. Knowing how to keep patient information safe not only prevents a laboratory from violating HIPAA but also keeps patients safe, costs down, and operations running smoothly. Preparing a solid risk management plan for any healthcare facility should be a top priority. After all, your patients are the reason you keep in business. Protecting their information is essential for compliance, reputation, and efficiency and requires adequate training and preparation. It is important to understand the source of vulnerabilities in your laboratory to protect personal data. There are external and internal cyber threats that include malicious outside sources, such as cyber attackers and hackers, and malicious or noncompliant internal sources, such as employees. Preventing both involves figuring out any vulnerable points in your laboratory information systems (LIS). Vulnerabilities that laboratories may encounter include outdated software and systems, which could be susceptible to security breaches if not regularly updated with the latest patches. Even better, strive to implement the latest in healthcare laboratory tech nology. It’s more likely to be up to date and receive support from developers when there are vulnerabilities in the software. Cloud computing can be safer than on-site data storage, as long as you pick the right cloud-based software with plenty of positive reviews and accolades. If a laboratory selects to move to cloud-based storage for your lab, it is necessary to ensure that personnel are ready to navigate the implementation and any learning curves. For instance, cloud-based storage is generally safe unless the user makes an error like sending data to the wrong address or leaving uploaded data open on-screen. Inadequate access controls pose another risk, as unauthorized personnel gaining access to sensitive data could compromise patient confidentiality. Weaknesses in network security, such as insufficient firewalls or unencrypted communication channels, also present problems. Furthermore, human factors, such as employee negligence or lack of awareness about cybersecurity practices, can contribute to vulnerabilities. Conducting thorough risk assessments allows healthcare laboratories to prioritize and address these issues before things go awry. LIS are only as secure as their users. You can equip the lab with the most updated technology but, without proper data management , data is open to costly attacks. To enhance protection, laboratories should adopt a combination of technical and procedural measures. Encryption protocols should be employed for data to safeguard data from unauthorized access. Access control mechanisms, including role-based access and strong authentication, can restrict system entry to authorized personnel only. As aforementioned, regularly updating and patching software and systems is crucial to address potential vulnerabilities. Intrusion detection systems can also help you identify and respond to any unusual activities promptly. Putting all of these protocols in place is a useful start, but managers must educate staff on how to maintain compliance. Conducting regular cybersecurity training for staff is essential. Training sessions should cover topics such as recognizing phishing attempts, creating strong passwords, and understanding the importance of data security. If employees do not understand the magnitude of cybersecurity in healthcare, they will not take as many measures to protect information and may inadvertently leave systems open to attacks. Simulated exercises and real-world scenarios can be incorporated to reinforce this importance and have staff regularly practice. As a laboratory implements these security protocols, it is important to make sure to track how well they are working. One possibility is to establish metrics by which lab managers can track and measure cybersecurity attempts. Then, managers can proactively tweak them along the way to enhance security and update training. By consistently updating protocols and providing ongoing training, healthcare laboratories can establish a proactive cybersecurity culture that effectively mitigates risks and protects patient information.

He is additionally a practising microbiologist; and an author. He is also interested in history, politics and current affairs.The Consumer Electronics Show, known as CES, is the premiere annual event for consumer brands debuting new products. The sheer size of the event, which takes over Las Vegas from January 5 to 10 , is hard to wrap your head around, as is the breadth of products represented there. Smart home technology makes up a big enough slice of the pie to have its own section of the event, this year at The Venetian. In some ways, when we talk about what we hope to see at CES, we’re actually saying what we hope to see for the next year, because most things at CES aren't quite ready for the mass market just yet. While I’ve been getting sneak peeks at what a lot of companies are going to be releasing for CES in 2025, there are still a few types of products I really hope I'll get to see more of. More types of sensors for better automation Sensors are a key part of a smart home toolbox , serving as a trigger for various actions. Their utility depends on two factors: that they work reliably, and that the automation software offers enough flexibility in how you can use them. There's still a lot of room for both these factors improve. There are lots of brands that offer sensors with spotty reliability—particularly those that measure water and temperature. So generally, I’d like to see more big brands in this space release basic sensors (motion, light, presence, temperature, and water) that can be trusted. Beyond improving what we already have, there are some newer spaces I'd love to see smart sensors explore. With the explosion of smart lights that I expect us to see at CES, I’d love better and more sensitive light sensors that can sense a color shift—I dream of being able to run an automation where my robot mop is triggered by a sensor recognizing the white tiles are no longer white due to dirt, for example. I’d also like sensors that compare indoor and outdoor air quality with greater detail about where air issues are coming from, and weight sensors that can be used to run automations based on how much weight changes—for instance, a sensor on food and water dishes that can tell me how much my dog ate and drank today. We already know that the most trusted name in sensors, Aqara, is rumored to release a new presence sensor . As exciting as that is, I’d love to see even more sensors from them—ones that push into new areas of representation like I’ve named above. Key improvements in robot vacuums and mowers, please This year, I've played with an untold number of vacuums, a bunch of lawnmowers, and even a few personal robots like the Enabot . I expect we’re going to continue to see robot vacuums leap forward this year, as they have the past few. I expect we’ll see absurd levels of suction power, and the robots are going to start to develop a whole new set of skills. We had one stair-climbing robot last year, so I expect we’ll start to see more robots with that sort of dexterity. Switchbot started to play with the idea of a robot vacuum as a household butler, shuttling water from the source to humidifiers, and I predict it'll continue to build that idea out. If the robot can shuttle water, what else can it move for you? What I’d like to see in robot vacuums is consistency in high-end models—by now they should all have a compartment for cleaning fluid on board the charging dock, and they should all have the ability be to directed by remote control in the app. I’d like to see robot assistants for vacuums go away entirely: they’re unhelpful, unrefined, and just another unwanted voice in my house. Instead, I’d like robot vacuums to better integrate with existing voice assistants. Also, I'd love to see robot vacuums take on baseboards. I'm sure this seems small, but brands are obsessed with how close their robots get to the wall, and yet they ignore the baseboards, which remain filthy and ignored. Narwal has started to address this, although in the most basic way, by attaching a muff to the robot that sweeps against the baseboard, but it's not enough. I predict we’ll see a ton of robot lawnmowers this year, which is exciting. I predict that like the Yarbo and Mowrator , most lawnmowers will also start to do “more,” including collecting and dumping of leaves. What I hope to see is more stability in mid-large size models, with beefier wheels that can handle dips and hills with ease, but with a tighter turn radius that doesn't tear up your lawn. I would love to see a fleet of small robot lawnmowers, perfect for tiny lawns, and for them to be sold at tiny prices. I would not like to see more lawn printing, which allows you to mow designs into your lawn. Though it sounded exciting, it turned out to be pretty silly in practice. Will we finally get our personal robots this year? Remember Ballie , from Samsung? I’d love this to be the year actual personal robots make it into the consumer market in a real way. So far, I’m unimpressed with those I’ve tried. I have an Enabot that is supposed to follow my dog around, but so far, it just runs into my washing machine over and over again. Personal robots don’t have to do it all yet, but I truly think these robots could work for emotional support and a light physical assist in housework or technological chores. But for that to happen, a brand has to (please) get a good one to market already. Better smart lighting throughout the entire home Over the last year, smart home tech has deeply infiltrated the new construction and retrofit market. It’s not enough to have a smart bulb or a lamp on a smart plug, now everything from recessed lights to under cabinet lights to permanent outdoor lights are smart. I hope we continue to see growth in the retrofit market, which benefits renters. I’ve noticed a massive uptick in entertainment lighting in the last year—floor lamps that can change to any color, bendable foam lights that resemble neon lights , even light curtains. After falling in love with my glowing Nanoleaf lights, I’d love to see more exploration in LED smart lights for inside the home and office that look like they're for adults, not just kids. There’s really no reason any light in your home should only be able to be tuned to white anymore, and when all your lights can play together as one to engage in shifting color schemes, your whole house becomes a big light therapy factory. Where else can smart locks possibly go? Every time I think smart locks have been all figured out, something new comes out that improves things yet again. The first facial recognition locks came out this year, and then the palm print lock, and now, it looks like Eufy is going to announce a lock with palm recognition. It feels like Star Trek . My biggest wish for smart locks is that they get better about retrofitting older homes, which arguably need the security the most. There are still many kinds of older locks that have few or no smart lock retrofit options. I’d also like to see some smart locks that look like many of our homes do: stately and refined instead of cold and modern. Better, more secure smart cameras This year, smart cameras took on a few trends: 24/7 continuous recording , which is more informative than the clips we were used to getting. We also saw an explosion of off-grid cameras which worked well and only needed solar power. The downside of these cameras is the amount of data they use, since they’re not connected to wifi. I’d like to see better compression of that video on off-grid cameras so they become more usable. I’d love to see the cameras get smaller and less visible, too. At this point, I’m only interested in PTZ (point, tilt, zoom) cameras, and wonder why anyone would buy something else, so I’d like to see less of the static viewpoint cameras, too. Finally, I hope to see better security around these cameras, with real ways to secure the feeds. Standards, hubs, and automation I don’t want this, really, but I expect we will see tons of brands try to relaunch their hubs as multi-hubs—that is, platforms that control not just that brand's devices, but allows them to integrate and interact with all your devices across brands. Most people utilize Google, Apple, or Amazon for this. Personally, I would prefer to see brands focus on exceptional integration with major multi-hubs that already exist. Of course, I’d like to see Matter —the connection standard that was supposed to revolutionize smart home by getting rid of all your smart hubs and apps so you only needed one—utilized in all new devices as a connection method. Matter has been slow to adoption, but I still believe in its potential. I’d also like to see automation get easier with our assistants and multi-hubs. While AI has started to play a role (Google has recently added Gemini as a possibility for automation help, but I found it clunky), automation remains pretty one-note for most users. It's a lot of "if this happens, do that." It’s difficult to execute multi-step automations or dependent automations with more than one condition. I’d love to see that change.
