The director, Corporate Development of Julius Berger Nigeria PLC, Jochen Stolle, has underscored the need for journalists and media relations practitioners to foster strong relationship even as he declared that the company is a fully-owned Nigerian company. Stolle made the assertion during media parleys hosted by Julius Berger in Abuja and Lagos. A press statement by the media relations unit, Monday, in Abuja, noted that: “In his welcome address to the august gatherings held first in Lagos and next Abuja, Stolle described the gatherings as not only unique but historic in many ways. “Apart from being the first media parley being held since he assumed office as the director, Corporate Development with direct authority over the Media Relations Office and Corporate Communications Department in the company, it is the first to be organised by Julius Berger‘s new Media Relations Manager, Emmanuel Isibor. “Beyond all that, it is the first time I am getting to meet you all, our dear media partners. But it will certainly not be the last. It marks a season of new and refreshing beginnings. And let me add that this also is the first time our new head, Corporate Communications, James Agama is getting to meet you all.” While describing the Lagos and Abuja parleys as annual rally to share under an atmosphere of laughter, backslapping and deeper friendship, the director said they are indeed refreshing moments for all. Putting the structure of the company in its right perspective, Stolle said, “Julius Berger Nigeria Plc is a fully owned Nigerian company that has contributed immensely to critical infrastructural development in the country. “We are listed on the Nigerian stock exchange. We are here to stay and we will continue to contribute our quota to the development of infrastructure in Nigeria.” The director said, “The company is proud to be associated with positive infrastructural development in Nigeria and will continue to adhere strictly to its core values of “excellence, responsibility, collaboration and courage. “As we build on this refreshing partnership journey together, it is my wish that we grow and nurture it into a mutually beneficial long term partnership built on the solid foundation of true friendship and trust. There is no gainsaying the fact that partnership for development has always been the hallmark of all we do at Julius Berger. “We partner for progress, collaboration, excellence, responsibility and courage. These are the strong pillars around which all we do revolve. “That Julius Berger has been operating in Nigeria for over 50 years now, and successfully too, lend sound credence to the foregoing.” Stolle stated further that, as a professional Nigerian engineering construction company of immense positive reputation, Julius Berger has been acclaimed for its contributions to the development of critical national infrastructures across the country. He said the same applies to building for some private concerns like the famous FAMFA Tower and the up and fast coming Lagos Hyatt Hotel. Concluding, the director stated: “We remain a Nigerian company, ever proud to associate with positive infrastructural developments in the country and ever ready to contribute our utmost professional best to further the goals of our founding fathers.”Sadyr Japarov ratifies Treaty on Deepening and Expanding Allied Relations between Kyrgyzstan and KazakhstanAnalysis: Win or lose at UNC, Belichick's NFL legacy cemented

ARCHIE Goodwin reaffirmed his reputation as one of the signings of the A-League season with a decisive role in Adelaide’s 4-0 hammering of defending champions Central Coast in Gosford on Friday night. Born and bred in Newcastle, Goodwin debuted for the Jets as a 16-year-old and played 44 games in their top side over the course of four seasons, scoring six goals and earning selection for the Young Socceroos. Frustrated with his lack of game time last season, Goodwin rejected a contract extension at the Jets and instead gambled on a move to Adelaide, where he has gone from strength to strength. After opening his account with a matchwinner off the bench against Brisbane recently, Archie Goodwin led Adelaide’s charge. Picture: Scott Gardiner/Getty Images Goodwin has been starting upfront for Adelaide and he gave another glimpse of his finishing abilities in the 13th minute of Friday night’s clash. Winning the ball in the middle of the pitch, the 20-year-old laid off, sprinted upfield, and was perfectly positioned to pounce on a pinpoint cross from midfielder Austin Ayoubi. Adelaide doubled their lead four minutes into the second half when Zach Clough created space, whipped in a cross and Panagiotis Kikianis finished from close range. Goodwin was the architect of Adelaide’s third goal in the 50th minute when he stole possession, drew the defence and passed to Clough, who centred for Stefan Mauk to tap in. Adelaide substitute Yaya Dukuly made it 4-0 in the 73rd minute with a cracking strike, which he celebrated with a spectacular backflip. ADELAIDE ADVANCING After a lean 2023-24 campaign in which they finished eighth - seven points adrift of the top six - Adelaide are clearly intent on making amends. While Auckland are deservedly earning rave reviews after winning their first six games, the Reds have without fuss or fanfare loomed up in their rear-view mirror. United has jumped up from their 2023-24 campaign. Picture: Scott Gardiner/Getty Images Their win against the Mariners lifted Adelaide into outright second position on the points table, one point behind Auckland, who play Melbourne City on Sunday. In the process, Adelaide have scored 17 goals in seven games. No rival team has put it in the net as often. Carl Veart’s men have won five of their past six fixtures in the process and appear to be warming to their task. SPANIARD A STAYER Spanish midfielder Isaias Sanchez created a piece of club history for Adelaide when he appeared in his 239th A-League game. That took him past the club record held by former goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic, and Adelaide celebrated the occasion in style with a dominant win. The 37-year-old is expected to retire at the end of this season but will be hoping to become the first Adelaide player to go past the 250-game milestone. Where to now for the Mariners? Picture: Scott Gardiner/Getty Images CHAMPIONS STUMPED The two-time champions are unlikely to panic at this early point in proceedings. It was only last season, after all, that they lost their first four games and recovered to win the grand final. But there must be some concern mounting for Mariners coach Mark Jackson about his team’s lack of firepower upfront. Central Coast have scored only five goals in seven games thus far. They need more from their strike force if they hope to challenge for an unprecedented hat-trick of titles. SEVENTH HEAVEN The result ended a lean few years for Adelaide in Gosford. The Reds had returned empty-handed in their previous six visits to the Central Coast.

With no guarantees that another opportunity might come his way — only the Atlanta Falcons interviewed Belichick last offseason — and unsure whether he could find the right fit in the NFL, the 72-year-old future Hall of Fame coach decided to go back to school. Belichick took his eight Super Bowl rings to North Carolina on a mission to build a college program the way he constructed two dynasties during 24 seasons with the New England Patriots. It starts with doing things his way. The Patriot Way is legendary. Perhaps it'll translate into the Tar Heel way. That's to be determined. But Belichick is back doing what he loves: coaching. And, he's going to run the show with his guys around him. An NFL team giving Belichick full control the way he had in New England seemed unlikely. Success at North Carolina could change that thinking. For now, Belichick's quest to break Don Shula's all-time record for most wins in the NFL is on hold. He's 15 victories short but the buyout clause in his college contract — a $10 million fee if done before June 2025 and $1 million after that date — leaves the window open for a return to the league. If Belichick stays in college or retires without returning to the NFL, his legacy is already cemented. Winning at North Carolina will only enhance his reputation. Losing won't impact his NFL resume. "He's one of the all-time great coaches. What he's done for the NFL and the game, we all know where he'll end up — in the Hall of Fame with a gold jacket," Dallas Cowboys executive Stephen Jones said Wednesday shortly before Belichick agreed on a five-year deal with North Carolina that pays him $10 million in base and supplemental salary annually with up to $3.5 million in bonuses per year. Belichick has his detractors. There's no denying he couldn't win without Tom Brady. He was 29-39 and had no playoff wins without No. 12 in his final four seasons with the Patriots. Critics have labeled him a cheater because of the Spygate and Deflategate scandals. He overlooked Aaron Hernandez's issues. He was tough on players, even alienating Brady in the end and letting him walk him away in free agency in 2020 only to see him lead the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a Super Bowl in his first season there. But Belichick instilled in players the importance of doing their job and presided over an unprecedented two-decade run of dominance that withstood changing times, free agency, salary-cap restrictions and much more. Brady has always maintained how important Belichick was for his career, giving him credit for helping him become one of the best players in sports. Now, Belichick is onto Chapel Hill in a surprise twist after he spent most of the NFL season reinventing himself as an entertaining and engaging analyst. Belichick is a football genius and his knowledge came across on television. But he also displayed a fun personality, trading quips with the Mannings and cracking jokes with Pat McAffee. "College kind of came to me this year," Belichick said at his introductory news conference. "I didn't necessarily go and seek it out. I had many coaches, probably a couple dozen coaches, talk to me and say, 'Can we come down and talk to you about these things?' Let's call it the salary cap of pro football relative to college football. The headsets, the green dot, the two-minute warning, the tablets on the sideline. Those were all rules changes this year for college football that were either or the same or similar to what we had in the NFL. These coaches said, 'Hey coach can we talk to you about how you did this? How you did that? How did you use this?'. "As those conversations started and then the personnel conversations started relative to salary cap and how you spend whatever the allotment of money you have. I'd say that started to make me a lot more aware of it because the first thing I would have to do is learn about it. .... As you learn different things about different programs you start to put it all together. There is some common threads and there's some variables." How will he do as a college coach? Nobody knows yet. Three of Belichick's former players were skeptical before he took the job. "There's a lot of things he can do, and obviously he's tremendous, and even showing his personality. But getting out there on the recruiting trail and dealing with all these college kids, that would be ..." Brady said before trailing off during a conversation on Fox's NFL pregame show last Sunday. Fellow former Patriots Rob Gronkowski and Julian Edelman also wondered the same. "Can you imagine NIL, and all that nonsense?" Gronkowski said. Edelman added: "Can you imagine Bill on a couch recruiting an 18-year-old?" But Belichick doesn't have to recruit kids on visits. These are new times in college sports. The NIL has dramatically changed the landscape. Plus, Belichick's name is enough. Just like Deion Sanders at Colorado. "I think it could be great for this game, honestly, if he can find a way to make college football more like this in terms of what's being asked of the coaches, the recruiting staff, the personnel, the NIL, and all those different things," Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Cohen said. "If he can make it a little bit less demanding on some of the coaches and create a great atmosphere and have success, I think it's great for our game. It's pretty cool to see, actually." Time for Belichick to do his job.West Ham show support for hospitalized Antonio before Premier League match

STOUGHTON - A Kohl's department store south of Boston will be closing its doors not long after the holiday shopping season ends. Kolh's said it is shuttering its Stoughton store at 501 Technology Center Dr. on Jan. 18, 2025. That location is also home to a Sephora beauty store inside Kohl's. "Kohl's regularly evaluates its store portfolio to ensure our fleet of stores is providing the best experience for our customers," a company spokesperson told WBZ-TV. Kohl's laying off 77 workers According to a WARN notice filed with the state last week, the closure affects 77 Kohl's workers in Stoughton. Kohl's said employers "were offered the option to apply for positions at other local stores." The nearest Kohl's locations are in East Walpole and Hingham. There will be 24 Kohl's stores left in Massachusetts after the Stoughton location closes. Kohl's Stoughton store closing In November, The Brockton Enterprise reported that the Kohl's building in Stoughton was being advertised as available for lease. The 89,000 square-foot building built in 2004 is right off Route 24. The Associated Press reported last month that Kohl's saw its recent sales slump deepen in its quarterly report. The Wisconsin-based company also forecast that sales declines for the year would be worse than expected. Kohl's is also undergoing a leadership change at the top. CEO Tom Kingsbury is stepping down in January and will be replaced by Ashley Buchanan, who is the CEO of Michaels and has also been an executive at Walmart and Sam's Club. Neal J. Riley is a digital producer for CBS Boston. He has been with WBZ-TV since 2014. His work has appeared in The Boston Globe and The San Francisco Chronicle.
