Martinelli seals turbulent week with FA Cup hat-trick for Arsenal

Gabriel Martinelli capped a dramatic week by scoring his first senior hat-trick as Arsenal beat Portsmouth 4-1 to reach the FA Cup fourth round. The goals came from two near-post headers off Madueke’s corners and a late strike from a quick free-kick setup, taking him to nine goals in all competitions and making him Arsenal’s top scorer this season. The week began with criticism after he shoved an injured Conor Bradley (who later suffered a season-ending injury), and he answered with focus and form as Kai Havertz returned and a 16-year-old debuted for the club.

"Siemens Gamesa Cancels $280M Wind Turbine Blade Facility in Portsmouth"

Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy has canceled its plans for a wind turbine blade production facility in Portsmouth, Virginia, citing the inability to meet development milestones. The $280 million-plus project, which was expected to bring over 300 jobs to the region, has been scrapped. However, Dominion Energy's offshore wind farm project, the largest of its kind in the US, remains unaffected. The cancellation is seen as a setback for Portsmouth's aspirations to become a primary logistics center for the Mid-Atlantic's offshore wind energy industry. Despite this, other recent developments, such as the approval of Dominion Energy's wind farm and a grant for an offshore wind logistics facility in Norfolk, position Hampton Roads as a potential hub for offshore wind manufacturing and job creation.
