Liverpool vindicated in Klopp striker search despite extra £8.5m payment
While this could be percieved as eating further into Klopp's upcoming January transfer budget, Liverpool are already enjoying tidy returns from their investment. This season Nunez has both started to truly find his feet in English football, and also strike up a formidable partnership with Mohamed Salah. Making the payment to Benfica this weekend has now established Nunez as Liverpool most expensive ever signing, with a total transfer outlay of £85m. The same fee Liverpool paid for Nunez, United later shelled out on Brazilian forward Antony, who has been the height of disappointment so far at Old Trafford. Klopp and Liverpool fans have been rubbing their hands ever since the unveiling of Nunez, despite his many critics across the top flight.

Small Cap Value Report (Mon 27 Nov 2023) - D4T4/CLBS, FDEV, EPWN, SYS, CNC, MMAG
We've roped in Roland to provide some cover here, so that people not attending Mello won't lose out with substandard SCVRs. We are analysing the company fundamentals, not trying to predict market sentiment. We stick to companies that have issued news on the day, with market caps (usually) between £10m and £1bn. Share prices move up or down for many reasons, and can often detach from the company fundamentals. So we're not making any predictions about what share prices will do.

Breakfast briefing: Shoppers upbeat about spending
In the US, eyes will be on the ISM PMI, and their PCE inflation rate. In Japan, their inflation rate rose to 3.3% in October from 3.0% in the prior month, and a three month high. Meanwhile, Malaysia reported its inflation rate at a very low 1.8% in October. A week ago these prices were US$76/bbl and US$80.50/bbl respectively, so very little changed since then. The bitcoin price starts today at US$37,189 and down -1.9% from this time Saturday.

Laika robot dog will assist astronauts
In outer space’s cold, dark expanse, astronauts will soon have warmth from an adorable robot companion, Laika. This article will discuss how a South Korean student designed a robot dog for astronauts. Photo Credit: ubergizmo.comIf the name “Laika” sounds familiar, that’s because it’s the name of the first dog sent to space. She built the robot dog in titanium, protecting it from the harsh conditions of outer space. Most robot dogs seem blocky and alien, such as Boston Dynamic’s one-eyed robot dog.

Invisible Generals: the Black military pioneers hidden in US history
In 2012, the Star Wars creator, George Lucas, released his pet project: Red Tails, the story of the Tuskegee Airmen, a group of African Americans who fought in the second world war. Doug Melville assumed it would mean that his great-uncle, Benjamin O Davis Jr, would finally gain the recognition he deserved. “I was invited to a screening and he was set to be the main character in the movie, played by Terrence Howard,” Melville recalls, via Zoom from home in New York. “Then, when the character came on the screen, he had a different name. “I asked who had...

Norfolk's telephone landlines set to change by 2025
Between now and 2025, most UK phone companies will be switching customers from traditional analogue landlines to digital technology – known as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) - which requires broadband connection. For customers who don’t own a broadband router, their phone providers will still be able to set them up on the new landline. “Your phone provider will contact you. There are also concerns about people becoming cut-off in the event of a power cut because the new landlines, which require broadband connection, will go down. “As well as ignoring calls about this from anyone other than their telephone provider, residents should contact their provider proactively and register themselves as vulnerable.
