The Nordstrom store is pictured in Broomfield, Colorado, February 23, 2017.REUTERS/Rick Wilking Acquire Licensing RightsNov 21 (Reuters) - Nordstrom (JWN.N) missed Wall Street targets for third-quarter revenue on Tuesday as sticky inflation pressured consumer spending in the months leading up to the all-important holiday shopping season. "The consumer is phasing out their shopping ... they are shopping cheque to cheque," Jane Hali & Associates senior analyst Jessica Ramirez said. Nordstrom executives said in a post-earnings call that the active, beauty and accessories segments were leading sales growth. "They did not do as much discounting as expected, but that may have hurt the top-line sales ... especially at Nordstrom," said Morningstar analyst David Swartz. Best Buy and Kohl's had trimmed their annual sales expectations to account for difficult-to-predict consumer demand in an uncertain economy, but Nordstrom maintained its forecast.

☆ Jury finds Colorado officer not guilty in Elijah McClain's killing

... Acquire Licensing Rights Read moreLONGMONT, Colorado, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A Colorado jury found police officer Nathan Woodyard not guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, a young Black man who died after police placed him in a chokehold during an arrest and medics injected him with a sedative. Two paramedics face separate trials this month for their role in giving McClain ketamine, a powerful sedative at times used on highly agitated patients. The death of McClain, 23, inspired sweeping police reforms in Colorado in 2020, including the banning of chokeholds like the one he was put in. "Nathan Woodyard did not kill Elijah McClain, he's not responsible for what other people did," defense attorney Andrew Ho said in his closing argument. "Ketamine is what killed Elijah McClain."

☆ Foot Locker plummets, drags down peers, on forecast cut, dividend pause
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-23 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

The Foot Locker store in Broomfield, Colorado is seen on November 17, 2016. The athletic-wear retailer also missed expectations for quarterly sales, said it would pause its dividend payouts and flagged softer demand in July, which is typically when back-to-school shopping starts. The shares of the company's larger rivals Nike (NKE.N), Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS.N) and Under Armour fell between 2% and 4% in premarket trade. Foot Locker's warnings kept the pressure on sportswear retailers after they tumbled on Tuesday when Dick's Sporting Goods also cut its full-year profit targets, slammed by hits to its margins from retail theft. Foot Locker also said its quarter was hit by inventory shrink, or retail theft, and steeper discounts.

☆ This Asian MMA promotion wants to crack the US market -- without the blood and trash-talking

Could 2023 be the year mixed-martial arts (MMA) in the United States finally returns to its pure, humble beginnings nurtured in Asia nearly 5,000 years ago? “I can’t wait for the US fans to be exposed to true martial arts. Fighting on American soil, it’s amazing to be able to headline this landmark event,” said the former longtime UFC champion, who joined One in 2018. Courtesy Aaron Pan/ONE ChampionshipWhat “true martial arts” means in new-era combat sports is certainly up for interpretation. That’s more true to the spirit of martial arts and its traditional values.

[1/3] A prototype of the Biofire Smart Gun is seen at Biofire Technologies headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado, U.S., April 18, 2022. Biofire's gun can also be enabled by a fingerprint reader, one of several smart gun features designed to avoid accidental shootings by children, reduce suicides, protect police from gun grabs, or render lost and stolen guns useless. That could make it the first commercially available smart gun in the United States since the Armatix briefly went on sale in 2014. At least two other American companies, LodeStar Works and Free State Firearms, are also attempting to get a smart gun to market. Many gun enthusiasts have become skeptical of smart gun technology, concerned it will fail when a weapon is needed for self-defense at a moment's notice.

[1/3] Customers are seen inside the Express store in Broomfield, Colorado August 28, 2013. At risk are retailers' margins during the critical holiday shopping season and their efforts to be the go-to location for trendy fashions. Shopper demand has put a strain on apparel retailers throughout the year, boosting inventories and forcing retailers including Gap, Victoria's Secret and Kohl's, to slash prices. Deals since October and over Thanksgiving weekend were up in both frequency and discounting depth, including from clothing retailers, according to research from Jane Hali & Associates. Express' third-quarter margins are expected to fall to 29.7% from 33.22% a year earlier, according to analysts' estimates on Refinitiv.

O dronă a National Health Service (NHS) din Marea Britanie este utilizată pentru transportarea probelor Covid-19, a analizelor de sânge și a echipamentului individual de protecție între spitalele din Anglia, scrie Playtech.ro. Foto: playtech.roSe speră că studiile, susținute de o subvenție de 1,3 milioane de lire sterline din partea Agenției Spațiale din Marea Britanie, pot stabili o rețea de coridoare aeriene pentru ca dronele electrice să navigheze folosind GPS. Proiectul este ideea lui Apian, un start-up care creează drone în domeniul sănătății, fondat de Christopher Law și Hammad Jeilani. Acesta marchează cele mai recente dintr-o serie de inițiative ale industriei de avioane fără pilot pentru a ajuta la lupta împotriva Covid-19 în Marea Britanie și în alte state. Anunțul utilizării dronelor din Essex vine pe fondul rapoartelor conform cărora Marea Britanie va putea efectua 1 milion de teste pe zi până la Crăciun.
