NEW YORK, Nov. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Elanco Animal Health Incorporated ELAN and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws. If you invested in Elanco, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting https://www.bfalaw.com/cases-investigations/elanco-animal-health-incorporated . Investors have until December 6, 2024 to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Elanco Animal Health Incorporated securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court of Maryland and is captioned Barpar v. Elanco Animal Health Incorporated , et al. , No. 24-cv-02912. What is the Lawsuit About? The complaint alleges that Elanco develops products to treat diseases in animals. Two of the most important treatments in the company's development pipeline are currently being reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"). The treatments are named Zenrelia, a drug for a type of dermatitis in dogs, and Credelio Quattro, which is a broad spectrum oral parasiticide covering fleas, ticks and internal parasites. With respect to these treatments, the company stated that the FDA "has all data necessary to complete its review. All technical sections, including the label, are expected to be approved before the end of June [2024]." However, on June 27, 2024, Elanco announced that it expected the FDA would not approve either drug in June 2024 and that Zenrelia would come with a boxed warning on safety.

As for the exact moment Barkley hit the milestone, he wasn't sure — until the “MVP!” chants echoed throughout the Linc after a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter . “The records are great, they put a smile on your face,” Barkley said, “but the season is far from over.” Needing 109 yards to break LeSean McCoy's record, Barkley rushed for 124 yards and pushed his season total to 1,623 in a 22-16 victory over Carolina . Barkley needed just 13 games to pass McCoy, who rushed for 1,607 yards in 2013. He also overtook Wilbert Montgomery, who had 1,512 yards in 1978. “I never wrote the goal down to break it,” Barkley said. “You're always aware of it. That's how I train. That's how I operate in the offseason. I want to be great.” Barkley also maintained his pace to break Eric Dickerson’s NFL single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984 with the Los Angeles Rams. “That would be extremely cool to do,” Barkley said. “If it happens, it happens, and not with the mindset of, I'm scared to go try to do it. Whatever it takes to win football games.” Barkley is averaging 124.8 yards per game. At that pace and with one more game to play than Dickerson, he would become the top single-season rusher in NFL history. He needs 483 yards yards over the final four games to top Dickerson’s 40-year-old record. He averaged 6.2 yards on 20 carries against the Panthers to help the Eagles win their ninth straight game. McCoy, who was inducted into the team's Hall of Fame this season, remains the franchise’s rushing leader with 6,792 yards. Referencing his old uniform number, McCoy congratulated Barkley on social media with “a lot of love, coming from 2-5." “Being a fan of Shady's growing up, and seeing the spectacular things he was able to do with the ball in his hand, to be able to have my name mentioned with him definitely means a lot,” Barkley said. Barkley left the New York Giants in the offseason and signed a three-year deal worth $26 million guaranteed to join the Eagles, who made him the highest-paid running back in franchise history. The 27-year-old has been worth every dollar. Barkley is among the favorites for league MVP, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was the only player with better MVP odds entering Sunday. Barkley has a franchise-record nine 100-yard rushing games in a season. Although he was held out of the end zone Sunday, he began the day leading the league with four rushing touchdowns of 25-plus yards. Barkley, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft, topped 1,000 yards three times in his six seasons with the Giants. He finished with 1,312 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns in 2022 and rushed for 1,307 yards and 11 scores as a rookie. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, who had been unwilling to spend on elite running backs, pounced on Barkley and the decision was celebrated as a success in Philly from the first game of the season. Barkley rushed for two scores and caught a TD pass in the opener against Green Bay. His three touchdowns were the most by an Eagles player in his debut since Terrell Owens in 2004. Barkley only soared in production and popularity from there, his highlight reel stamped by a reverse leap over the head of a Jacksonville defender last month. He's since vaulted over every running back ahead of him on the Eagles rushing list — and has a chance at NFL history. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/NFL

Merchant Acquiring Solutions: Tools for Small Business Payment AcceptanceImmigration is one of the hot-button topics of this general election and six candidates from across the political spectrum debated Ireland’s response to a surge in immigration in recent years. The immigration issue was debated by Justice Minister Helen McEntee, Integration Minister Roderic O’Gorman, Fianna Fáil’s James Browne, Aontú’s Peadar Tóibín, Independent Ireland’s Michael Fitzmaurice and Sinn Féin’s Matt Carthy on RTÉ’s Upfront with Katie Hannon . There was fiery debate over the previous government’s handling of the influx of Ukrainians fleeing Russia’s invasion in 2022, along with the increase of asylum seekers from many other countries worldwide. There was criticism for government parties for their “out-of step” supports for Ukrainian refugees which created a “pull factor”, according to Peadar Tóibin. James Browne countered this by saying the government acted with “humanity” and Helen McEntee said the cuts in supports for Ukrainians were instituted along with EU partners. Roderic O’Gorman, in a fiery exchange with Matt Carthy accused Sinn Féin of “walking away from Ukraine” after Mr Carthy suggested Ukrainians living in Ireland should be processed through the International Protection once the temporary protection measures that allow them to live in Ireland are ended, which his party would advocate for at an EU level. O’Gorman blasted it as a “crazy idea”. McEntee insisted that “immigration is a good thing for this country” and that Ireland needs inward migration to fill many posts as the country was at full employment. The government ministers rejected assertions that they were “asleep at the wheel” over sustainably managing migration. The Fine Gael deputy leader said inward migration is needed to ensure increased housing delivery, essential services in healthcare, and other sectors. She defended the current immigration system as rules-based. Ms McEntee said: “If somebody is coming and applying for a work permit, the job has to be there. “If somebody is coming in here as a student, we’re very clear that you are coming to study, that you are not coming here to work, that you’re not coming to use the study visa.” She added that “by and large” most people agree that migration has been a positive for the country. Mr Tóibín said there was “no doubt” that many migrants make really positive contributions to Ireland. However, the opposition politician accused the Government of being “asleep at the wheel” by not keeping immigration at what he characterised as sustainable levels. Mr Tóibín said “we have to start looking at” how many permits are provided to non-essential workers and said: “we have sleepwalked into non-sustainability”, while adding that there are 500,000 adults living with their parents due to a lack of housing. Integration minister and Green leader Roderic O’Gorman said blocking off links to other countries would be “fundamentally a wrong approach for an open economy” like Ireland. He accused Mr Tóibín of having a “deeply divisive” proposal. James Browne, who is the junior minister in the Department of Justice, said the country’s economy is “booming” in ICT and foreign direct investment. He added: “Shutting down effectively any work permit coming for foreign direct investment will be absolutely, I think, counterproductive and, quite frankly, hypocritical as well. “We do need people coming into this country. It’s at full employment and it helps our economy and our society to grow.” Michael Fitzmaurice of Independent Ireland said most people have “no problems whatsoever” on people coming in on permits. However, he said there is a problem around the “complicated permit system”. Mr Carthy said there was an “irony” in doctors and nurses who qualified here having emigrated to the “far side of the globe” over a lack of affordable housing in Ireland. Mr Carthy said the Government was overseeing crises in housing, health and migration. “What we want to do is put in place a system of rules that are clearly understood and clearly enforced that ensures that there is confidence for everyone involved.” He added: “We need to have a managed migration system that ensures that those sectors that need employees are able to access them in a way that doesn’t actually burden the overstretched services that we have, that doesn’t actually add to our housing crisis that we already have. “So we have to be cognisant of all of that and recognise the value of people who are coming here and maintaining our health services and other essential services.” Mr Fitzmaurice criticised the government for “creating divides” across communities in Ireland due to the level of supports given to some and not others and touched on the student housing crisis and claimed universities in Ireland are attracting students from outside the EEA, who have to pay higher fees, to “subsidise their finances” but this in turn creates more pressure on the housing market. While the debate raged on, it was confirmed an accommodation centre for asylum seekers at Kilbride Military camp in Co Wicklow caught fire. There were no injuries reported and an investigation was ongoing into the cause of the blaze, believed to have originated in a canteen.
