Mahkamah Persekutuan Sekat Pemotongan Dana Trump kepada Penyelidikan Perubatan

(SeaPRwire) - Seorang hakim persekutuan pada hari Rabu menyekat pentadbiran Trump daripada mengurangkan secara drastik pembiayaan penyelidikan perubatan yang menurut ramai saintis akan membahayakan pesakit dan menyebabkan kehilangan pekerjaan. Dasar baharu National Institutes of Health itu akan melucutkan kumpulan penyelidikan ratusan juta dolar untuk menampung apa yang dipanggil perbelanjaan tidak langsung bagi mengkaji penyakit Alzheimer, kanser, penyakit jantung dan pelbagai penyakit lain — daripada ujian klinikal rawatan baharu kepada penyelidikan makmal asas yang menjadi asas kepada penemuan. Tuntutan mahkamah berasingan yang difailkan oleh sekumpulan 22 negeri serta organisasi yang mewakili universiti, hospital dan institusi penyelidikan di seluruh negara menyaman untuk menghentikan pemotongan itu, dengan mengatakan ia akan menyebabkan "kemudaratan yang tidak dapat dipulihkan." Hakim Daerah A.S. Angel Kelley di Boston telah menyekat sementara pemotongan itu bulan lepas. Pada hari Rabu, beliau memfailkan injunksi awal yang menangguhkan pemotongan itu untuk tempoh yang lebih lama, sementara saman diteruskan. NIH, pembiaya utama penyelidikan bioperubatan, memberikan kira-kira $35 bilion dalam bentuk geran kepada kumpulan penyelidikan tahun lepas. Jumlah itu dibahagikan kepada kos "langsung" – meliputi gaji penyelidik dan bekalan makmal – dan kos "tidak langsung", kos pentadbiran dan kemudahan yang diperlukan untuk menyokong kerja itu. Pentadbiran Trump telah menolak perbelanjaan tersebut sebagai "overhed," tetapi universiti dan hospital berpendapat ia jauh lebih kritikal. Ia boleh termasuk perkara seperti elektrik untuk mengendalikan jentera yang canggih, pelupusan sisa berbahaya, kakitangan yang memastikan penyelidik mematuhi peraturan keselamatan dan pekerja pembersihan. Di bawah dasar sebelumnya, kerajaan merundingkan kadar tersebut dengan institusi. Sebagai contoh, sebuah institusi dengan kadar kos tidak langsung 50% akan mendapat tambahan $50,000 untuk menampung perbelanjaan tidak langsung bagi projek $100,000. Dasar baharu NIH akan mengehadkan kos tidak langsung pada kadar tetap 15% sahaja, dikira untuk menjimatkan agensi itu $4 bilion setahun.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

NBC Melantik Pengacara Baharu Menggantikan Lester Holt di ‘Nightly News’

(SeaPRwire) - NEW YORK — NBC News melantik Tom Llamas pada hari Rabu untuk menggantikan Lester Holt sebagai pengacara "Nightly News" bermula musim panas ini, tetapi dia tidak meninggalkan siaran berita strimnya. Kenaikan pangkat Llamas, 45, telah dijangka secara meluas. Beliau telah menjadi pengganti utama Holt dalam ringkasan berita siaran sejak bertukar dari ABC ke NBC pada tahun 2021. Beliau juga merupakan pengacara utama untuk perkhidmatan penstriman NBC News Now, mengacarakan rancangan "Top Story" selama satu jam. Holt berkata minggu lepas bahawa dia akan meletakkan jawatan daripada "Nightly News" selepas sedekad. Beliau merancang untuk kekal di rangkaian itu untuk bekerja di "Dateline NBC." "Tom mempunyai kombinasi kecemerlangan kewartawanan, penceritaan yang bersemangat dan integriti yang tidak berbelah bahagi — semua ciri yang telah lama menjadi tanda dagangan NBC `Nightly News,’ kata Janelle Rodriguez, naib presiden eksekutif pengaturcaraan NBC News. Ini menjadikan David Muir dari ABC sebagai pengacara berita petang yang paling lama berkhidmat di "World News Tonight," serta peneraju penarafan. CBS News pada awal tahun ini menggantikan Norah O'Donnell dengan pasukan John Dickerson dan Maurice DuBois. Walaupun berita adalah persekitaran yang jauh berbeza dari zaman Walter Cronkite disiarkan ke jutaan rumah pada waktu makan malam, siaran berita ABC, CBS dan NBC secara kolektif mencapai lebih daripada 10 juta penonton setiap malam. Pengacara biasanya dianggap sebagai wajah bahagian berita siaran. Llamas akan menjadi orang pertama yang mengambil peranan itu sambil mengekalkan pekerjaannya di perkhidmatan penstriman. Siaran berita "Top Story" beliau akan bermula setiap malam minggu selepas "Nightly News" berakhir.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana Waktu Jimat Siang Mempengaruhi Kesihatan Anda

(SeaPRwire) - Ketika rakyat Amerika bersedia untuk , sesetengah mungkin berasa bimbang tentang kehilangan satu jam tidur yang akan datang. Malah, lebih separuh daripada orang dewasa A.S. kini menentang waktu penjimatan siang, menurut —dan sebabnya mungkin disokong oleh sains. Pakar mengatakan perubahan masa memberi lebih daripada sekadar menjadikan pagi sedikit sukar, ia memberi kesan kepada kesihatan kita. “Perubahan masa musim bunga membawa kepada kekurangan tidur di seluruh masyarakat,” kata Jennifer Martin, bekas presiden American Academy of Sleep Medicine dan profesor perubatan di David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Impak yang besar Walaupun kehilangan satu jam tidur mungkin tidak kedengaran seperti perubahan besar, Martin berkata ia mempunyai impak yang besar terhadap kesihatan kita—sebahagian besarnya kerana kebanyakan rakyat Amerika sudah tidak mendapat tidur yang mencukupi. “Ramai rakyat Amerika sudah mengalami kekurangan tidur kronik atau mengalami gangguan tidur,” katanya. "Gangguan tambahan ini memperkuat sebarang gejala yang sudah mereka alami." Perubahan masa juga membawa kesan kesihatan buruk yang lain disebabkan oleh perubahan dalam ritma sirkadian kita. “Ritma sirkadian kita ialah jam dalaman kita, dan ia sangat berkait rapat dengan hari 24 jam,” kata Martin. "[Penjimatan siang] sebenarnya mengubah hubungan antara jam dalaman kita dan persekitaran luaran." Beralih ke waktu penjimatan siang bermakna ritma sirkadian kita tidak lagi selaras dengan terbit dan terbenam matahari—dan itu memberi kesan kepada kesihatan kita. “Apabila kita berada dalam Waktu Standard, waktu siang lebih selaras dengan ritma sirkadian kita,” kata Martin. Itu berubah apabila jam beralih ke hadapan: “Apabila kita beralih ke waktu penjimatan siang, hari menjadi gelap lebih lewat pada waktu pagi, dan itu tidak baik untuk kesihatan dan kesejahteraan kita secara keseluruhan.” Menganjakkan jam ke hadapan diketahui memburukkan lagi gejala , dan juga dikaitkan dengan dalam serangan jantung dan strok. Penjimatan siang dikaitkan dengan lebih banyak kemalangan jalan raya, ponteng dan kelewatan, kata Martin. Mengurangkan kesan Walaupun pakar dahulunya mengesyorkan mengalihkan jadual anda sehingga 15 minit setiap hari pada hari-hari menjelang perubahan masa, Martin berkata bahawa perubahan itu tidak mudah dilaksanakan bagi kebanyakan orang. “Adalah mustahil untuk melakukan itu, kerana tiada apa-apa dalam masyarakat yang beralih sebanyak 15 minit sehari,” katanya. "Cara masyarakat berubah [untuk penjimatan siang] adalah secara tiba-tiba, semalaman, pada satu malam." Martin memberi amaran terhadap penggunaan alat bantuan tidur seperti melatonin. “Banyak agen ini membuatkan anda mengantuk, dan rasa mengantuk adalah salah satu masalah yang akan dihadapi oleh orang ramai,” katanya—menambah bahawa kesan baki alat bantuan tidur boleh menjejaskan kewaspadaan anda pada keesokan paginya. Sebaliknya, Martin mengesyorkan hanya memberi masa kepada badan anda untuk menyesuaikan diri dengan perubahan itu. “Gangguan ini adalah biologi,” katanya. "Ia bukan sesuatu yang boleh anda atasi dengan berusaha lebih keras."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Mengapa Sesetengah Pembeli Melancarkan Boikot Target Selama 40 Hari berita

Mengapa Sesetengah Pembeli Melancarkan Boikot Target Selama 40 Hari

(SeaPRwire) - Bermula Rabu, beberapa pembeli telah memutuskan untuk mengambil bahagian dalam boikot selama lebih sebulan terhadap Target disebabkan oleh perubahan baharu peruncit itu daripada dasar kepelbagaian, ekuiti dan inklusi (DEI). “Kami meminta orang ramai untuk menarik diri daripada Target kerana mereka telah membelakangkan komuniti kami,” kata Rev. Jamal Bryant, pastor New Birth Missionary Baptist Church di Georgia. Bryant adalah penganjur di sebalik boikot itu, dan secara khusus meminta pembeli kulit hitam untuk melawan dasar anti-DEI dengan wang mereka. Boikot ini bermula pada hari pertama Lent, dan akan berlangsung serentak selama 40 hari. Target adalah salah satu daripada beberapa syarikat yang mengumumkan bahawa mereka akan membalikkan usaha DEI mereka berikutan Januari Presiden Donald Trump yang menyerang DEI, di mana beliau menggelarnya sebagai "program diskriminasi haram dan tidak bermoral." Lebih khusus lagi, syarikat itu pada 24 Januari mengumumkan akan menamatkan matlamat DEI tiga tahun mereka, Racial Equity Action and Change (REACH) inisiatif, dan "tinjauan berfokuskan kepelbagaian luaran," termasuk Human Right Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. Dalam siaran akhbar yang sama, Target berkata ia "kekal fokus untuk memacu perniagaan kami dengan mewujudkan rasa kepunyaan untuk pasukan, tetamu dan komuniti kami melalui komitmen terhadap inklusi." Namun, keputusan itu terbukti tidak popular oleh sesetengah pelanggan. "Orang kulit hitam membelanjakan lebih daripada $12 juta dolar sehari, dan oleh itu kami menjangkakan beberapa kesetiaan, kesopanan dan persahabatan," tambah Bryant. Dan boikot semasa bukan satu-satunya yang menyasarkan syarikat-syarikat besar. Semasa sekatan ekonomi Jumaat lepas, Target dilaporkan menyaksikan penurunan trafik dan aplikasi. “Cadangan tidak Amerika ini sudah membawa kepada impak negatif kepada keuntungan beberapa syarikat terbesar Amerika,” kata Sarah Kate Ellis, Presiden & CEO GLAAD, sebuah organisasi bukan keuntungan yang memperjuangkan komuniti LGBTQ+, dalam kenyataan pada 4 Mac. “Target mungkin menyalahkan cuaca sejuk atas penurunan keuntungan, tetapi pada akhirnya, mereka perlu melihat ke dalam. Sekarang adalah masa untuk pemimpin korporat untuk memimpin.” Target tidak segera menjawab permintaan TIME untuk komen. Target adalah salah satu daripada beberapa peruncit utama yang menghadapi serangan bertubi-tubi daripada pembeli progresif yang telah mengkritik keputusan syarikat untuk membatalkan komitmennya terhadap DEI. Peruncit itu sebelum ini seolah-olah memenuhi spektrum pelbagai asas A.S., mengeluarkan koleksi Pride tahunan dan juga melancarkan produk semasa Bulan Sejarah Hitam dan Bulan Warisan Hispanik. Tetapi syarikat itu telah berada dalam keadaan yang tidak menentu dengan beberapa pelanggannya selama bertahun-tahun. Pada tahun 2023, aktivis LGBTQ+ marah selepas syarikat itu memilih untuk mengalih keluar beberapa Koleksi Pride selepas ahli pasukan menerima ancaman keselamatan. Keputusan mereka untuk berundur daripada usaha inklusif sebelum ini berbeza daripada yang lain, seperti Ben & Jerry’s dan Costco, yang kekal teguh dalam komitmen mereka. Ia adalah keputusan korporat yang boleh menjadi mahal. Laporan daripada Collage Group mendapati bahawa satu pertiga daripada pengguna berhenti membeli-belah di kedai kegemaran mereka disebabkan oleh pengurangan komitmen DEI. Isu ini amat ketara bagi pembeli kulit hitam, Hispanik dan LGBTQ+. Walau apa pun, masa depan DEI, sekurang-kurangnya di peringkat persekutuan, sebahagiannya bergantung pada mahkamah. Pentadbiran Trump telah menghadapi tindak balas berikutan arahan baharu itu, dan mahkamah telah mengeluarkan perintah injunksi ke atas bahagian Perintah Eksekutif anti-DEI beliau. Baru-baru ini, seorang hakim persekutuan dari Maryland gagal mengeluarkan penangguhan ke atas injunksi itu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Mahkamah Agung Membuat Keputusan 5-4 Menentang Pentadbiran Trump dalam Kes Bantuan Luar Negara

(SeaPRwire) - WASHINGTON — Mahkamah Agung yang sangat berbelah bahagi pada hari Rabu menolak desakan pentadbiran Trump untuk menegur seorang hakim persekutuan yang mengenakan tarikh akhir yang cepat untuk mengeluarkan berbilion dolar bantuan asing. Dengan undian 5-4, mahkamah mengarahkan Hakim Daerah A.S. Amir Ali untuk menjelaskan perintahnya sebelum ini yang menghendaki pentadbiran Republikan itu mengeluarkan hampir $2 bilion bantuan untuk kerja yang telah dilakukan. Walaupun hasilnya merupakan kerugian jangka pendek bagi pentadbiran Presiden Donald Trump, kumpulan dan perniagaan bukan untung yang menyaman masih menunggu wang yang mereka katakan terhutang kepada mereka. Salah satu organisasi itu minggu lepas terpaksa memberhentikan 110 pekerja akibatnya, menurut kertas mahkamah. Ini adalah kali kedua pentadbiran baharu itu cuba dan gagal memujuk Mahkamah Agung untuk segera mengawal seorang hakim mahkamah rendah dalam pertikaian undang-undang berhubung tindakan yang diambil oleh Trump. Hakim Samuel Alito mengetuai empat hakim konservatif dalam bantahan, mengatakan Ali tidak mempunyai kuasa untuk memerintahkan pembayaran. Alito menulis bahawa dia terkejut mahkamah memberi ganjaran kepada "tindakan keangkuhan kehakiman dan mengenakan penalti $2 bilion ke atas pembayar cukai Amerika." Tindakan mahkamah mengekalkan perintah penahanan sementara Ali yang telah menghentikan pembekuan perbelanjaan, Ali mengadakan perbicaraan pada hari Khamis untuk mempertimbangkan penangguhan yang lebih kekal. Majoriti menyatakan bahawa pentadbiran itu tidak mencabar perintah awal Ali, hanya tarikh akhir, yang walau bagaimanapun telah berlalu minggu lepas. Mahkamah mengarahkan Ali untuk "menjelaskan kewajipan yang mesti dipenuhi oleh kerajaan untuk memastikan pematuhan terhadap perintah penahanan sementara, dengan mengambil kira kemunasabahan mana-mana garis masa pematuhan." Ketua Hakim John Roberts dan Hakim Amy Coney Barrett, dua konservatif, menyertai tiga hakim liberal untuk membentuk majoriti. Hakim Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch dan Brett Kavanaugh menyertai bantahan Alito. Pentadbiran Trump berhujah bahawa keadaan telah berubah kerana ia telah menggantikan pembekuan perbelanjaan menyeluruh dengan penentuan individu yang membawa kepada pembatalan 5,800 kontrak U.S. Agency for International Development dan 4,100 geran Jabatan Negara yang berjumlah hampir $60 bilion bantuan. Kerajaan persekutuan membekukan bantuan asing selepas perintah eksekutif daripada Trump menyasarkan apa yang beliau panggil program pembaziran yang tidak sepadan dengan matlamat dasar luar negerinya. Saman yang menyusul mendakwa bahawa penangguhan itu melanggar undang-undang persekutuan dan telah menutup pembiayaan untuk program menyelamatkan nyawa yang paling mendesak di luar negara. Ali memerintahkan pembiayaan dipulihkan buat sementara waktu pada 13 Februari, tetapi hampir dua minggu kemudian dia mendapati kerajaan tidak memberi tanda mematuhi dan menetapkan tarikh akhir untuk mengeluarkan pembayaran bagi kerja yang telah disiapkan. Pentadbiran itu merayu, memanggil perintah Ali "amat mengganggu dan sangat salah" dan membantah garis masa untuk mengeluarkan wang itu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

(SeaPRwire) - Dr. Jay Bhattacharya ialah pilihan Presiden Trump untuk mengetuai National Institutes of Health (NIH), yang secara tradisinya merupakan penyumbang dana terbesar untuk penyelidikan bioperubatan di dunia. Pada 5 Mac, profesor dasar kesihatan dari Stanford University ini akan menghadapi soalan daripada jawatankuasa Kesihatan, Pendidikan, Buruh dan Pencen Senat ketika beliau cuba disahkan untuk mengetuai salah sebuah agensi kesihatan yang paling berkuasa di negara ini. Berikut adalah perkara yang perlu diketahui tentang Bhattacharya. Beliau adalah anak imigran Bhattacharya dilahirkan di Kolkata, India dan berkata dalam bahawa ibunya berasal dari kawasan setinggan, manakala bapanya, seorang jurutera elektrik, adalah sebahagian daripada kelas menengah negara itu. Pada tahun 1970-an, keluarganya berhijrah ke A.S., menetap pertama kali di Massachusetts dan kemudian di California, di luar Los Angeles. Ketika berusia 18 tahun, Bhattacharya memeluk agama Presbyterian daripada agama Hindu. Beliau berminat dalam ekonomi kesihatan Bhattacharya memperoleh empat ijazah di Stanford: ijazah sarjana muda, sarjana, MD, dan PhD. Beliau bekerja sebagai ahli ekonomi di RAND Corporation sebelum kembali ke Stanford untuk menyertai fakulti. Bhattacharya telah menyelidik ekonomi kesihatan dan mengkaji populasi terdedah A.S., menganalisis bagaimana sistem penjagaan kesihatan dan dasar kerajaan negara itu mempengaruhi kesihatan kumpulan ini. Beliau mempunyai pandangan kontroversi tentang COVID-19 Semasa pandemik, Bhattacharya menjadi pakar yang dikenali dan berlawanan arus mengenai penyakit itu, menjalankan banyak wawancara dan menerbitkan rencana pendapat mengenai apa yang dirasakannya sebagai reaksi berlebihan pegawai kesihatan awam terhadap virus itu. Berdasarkan data yang dilihatnya, beliau percaya bahawa COVID-19 jauh lebih ringan daripada yang digembar-gemburkan oleh pakar kesihatan—termasuk mereka yang berada di kerajaan—dan mendakwa bahawa ujian COVID-19 hanya mengesan kes yang teruk dan orang yang mengalami simptom, manakala lebih ramai orang dijangkiti tetapi tidak mempunyai simptom. “Terdapat ramai orang yang berjalan di sekeliling dengan bukti jangkitan COVID yang tidak akan kita kira kerana mereka tidak pergi ke doktor; mereka mempunyai jangkitan yang agak ringan,” katanya dalam satu pada tahun 2020. Pada Mac 2020, beliau menjadi pengarang bersama sebuah kontroversi di Wall Street Journal yang mempersoalkan perintah berkurung. “Kuarantin sejagat mungkin tidak berbaloi dengan kos yang dikenakannya ke atas ekonomi, masyarakat dan kesihatan mental dan fizikal individu,” tulisnya. “Kita harus mengambil langkah segera untuk menilai asas empirikal perintah berkurung semasa.” Beliau juga menulis bersama Deklarasi Great Barrington pada Oktober 2020, surat terbuka yang berhujah untuk menghentikan perintah berkurung. Surat itu sebaliknya menyokong membenarkan orang yang berisiko rendah dijangkiti COVID-19 untuk menjalani kehidupan harian mereka, dengan anggapan bahawa jika mereka dijangkiti, mereka akan mengalami penyakit ringan dan menyumbang kepada membina imuniti kelompok yang akhirnya akan melindungi populasi. Pengkritik dasar itu menegaskan bahawa strategi itu masih akan membahayakan mereka yang paling terdedah kepada komplikasi daripada penyakit itu, seperti warga emas dan mereka yang mempunyai sistem imun yang lemah. Beliau juga mandat pemakaian pelitup muka di sekolah. Pada tahun 2021, beliau menulis bersama sebuah artikel yang berhujah bahawa “faedah pelitup muka dalam mencegah penyakit serius atau kematian akibat COVID-19 dalam kalangan kanak-kanak adalah sangat kecil,” dan bahawa “COVID-19 kurang menjadi ancaman kepada kanak-kanak berbanding kemalangan atau selesema biasa.” Pandangannya bercanggah dengan pandangan ramai pegawai kesihatan awam, dan beliau berkata pada masa itu beliau kerana menyuarakan pandangan tersebut. Cabaran beliau di NIH Jika disahkan, Bhattacharya akan mengetuai sebuah agensi di persimpangan jalan. Di bawah Pentadbiran Trump, NIH telah kepada institusi, mengehadkan jumlah yang akan mereka bayar untuk kos overhed pada hanya 15% daripada jumlah geran (berbanding 30-70% atau lebih). Dasar baharu itu telah ditangguhkan sementara oleh hakim persekutuan, tetapi Bhattacharya akan bertanggungjawab untuk mengemudi sebarang perubahan dalam dasar pemberian geran dan pembaharuan agensi (yang dipersetujui oleh ramai saintis adalah diperlukan) untuk menjadikan NIH lebih cekap. Ijazah perubatan dan pemahamannya tentang data kesihatan sepatutnya menjadi kekuatan dalam memimpin institut penyelidikan yang dihormati itu, kata beberapa pakar, tetapi, seperti yang dinyatakan oleh STAT , sesetengah pihak bimbang tentang tafsirannya terhadap data itu, yang mereka percaya boleh membawa kepada kesimpulan yang mengelirukan. “Saya lebih suka melihat beliau dilantik daripada tidak, kerana saya fikir jika beliau tidak dilantik, maka sesiapa sahaja yang dilantik mungkin akan menjadi lebih teruk,” Jason Abaluck, profesor ekonomi di Yale School of Management, .Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Winvest Group’s IQI Media Gears Up for Q2 Beta Demos of AI & Blockchain-Powered Streaming Distribution Platform SeaPRwire

Winvest Group’s IQI Media Gears Up for Q2 Beta Demos of AI & Blockchain-Powered Streaming Distribution Platform

Reno, NV – March 06, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) – Winvest Group Limited (OTCQB: WNLV) (“Winvest”), an investment holding company with diverse media, entertainment, and technology portfolios, is pleased to announce that its subsidiary IQI Media Inc. will be offering beta demos of Launchrr, its proprietary SaaS solution for the film and television industry, in the second quarter of 2025. “Hollywood is facing significant changes, with a notable contraction in production activities,” said Khiow Hui Lim, Founder of IQI Media and Chief Strategy Officer at Winvest. “Shifting consumer behaviors, technological advancements, and the rise of streaming platforms have all played a role. Whether it’s the best time to disrupt Hollywood with a new SaaS product depends on identifying a clear need, delivering a superior solution, and navigating the industry’s complexities. IQI has done just that with Launchrr, which fills a key niche by using AI to optimize content delivery, recommend distribution channels, and predict audience demand.” “As an AI-driven, cloud-based distribution platform designed to revolutionize the streaming ecosystem, Launchrr can help Hollywood innovate through the use of data analytics,” continued Lim. “Beyond that, it can provide secure and transparent residuals using blockchain technology and help both stakeholders and regulators track ownership and royalties. Finally, it can streamline the distribution process in a way that lowers costs and offers efficiencies for everyone involved, from filmmakers to studios.” Typically, the process of submitting content and negotiating deals with multiple streamers is both time-consuming and costly for filmmakers and content creators. An advanced aggregator, Launchrr simplifies the process into a single submission that covers all streamers, dramatically speeding up the time to market while meeting all encoding requirements. From there, Launchrr uses intelligent automation to provide real-time insights and earnings, interactive dashboards, predictive analytics, and blockchain-based security for all intellectual property. “Winvest will be heavily investing in Launchrr’s Phase 2 development,” said Jeffrey Wong, CEO of Winvest. “That’s because we see strong potential for Launchrr based on current industry trends and have several reasons for optimism. For one, Launchrr tackles the industry’s biggest pain point—the streaming wars. It does so by addressing numerous inefficiencies in the current system and shifting the focus to data-driven decision-making. We believe this will result in more informed distribution strategies, not to mention the potential for increased revenue and profitability.” Winvest’s Phase 2 investments in Launchrr will primarily revolve around its new API integration with AI, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs). While most streamers with the exception of a handful continue to use web-based development, Launchrr is preparing for the future by pre-emptively building in API access costs, which include the learning curve involved in utilizing AI models and tailoring the API to fit each streamer, which requires additional coding, testing, and debugging. Other planned expenses include development environments, version control systems, hosting, servers, and specialized AI development tools. “While doubling down on LLMs impacts our development costs, it’s crucial to enhancing Launchrr’s value,” said Lim. “We also feel it supports our desire to align with the Hollywood guilds around the goals of transparency and potentially fairer compensation for all union members associated with a streaming title. Our AI-driven APIs enable accurate and timely performance metrics, plus the ability to identify what audiences are responding to the content and reach them cost-effectively with targeted social advertising. With Launchrr, it’s no longer a guessing game how to find your ideal viewers—or make your content profitable.” About Winvest Group Limited: Headquartered in Reno, Nevada, Winvest is an investment holding company focused on media, entertainment, and technology. Shares in the company are currently traded on the OTC Markets (QB tier) under the stock ticker “WNLV,” with plans to upgrade to Nasdaq and pursue an IPO in the near future.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Being Developed by MHI Used in Demonstration of Automated Transport and Unloading of Heavy Cargo in Disaster Areas JCN Newswire

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Being Developed by MHI Used in Demonstration of Automated Transport and Unloading of Heavy Cargo in Disaster Areas

- Demonstration of the ability to automatically unload heavy cargo using a winch while in a hovering state, in a presumed isolated area- Demonstration of the ability to use the onboard camera to confirm the status of disaster victims and the damaged areas following a disasterTOKYO, Mar 5, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), in collaboration with the Japan UAS Industrial Development Association (JUIDA), recently participated in Nankai Rescue 2024, a disaster response training exercise organized by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's Middle Army, conducted in preparation for the occurrence of a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough.(1) Training exercises were conducted using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) currently being developed by MHI's Commercial Aviation Systems segment, specifically a small single-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (hereinafter "small-sized UAV") to assess the status of damage immediately following a disaster, and a medium-sized multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (hereinafter "medium-sized UAV") to transport heavy cargo to disaster areas. In these drills, both the small and medium-sized UAVs were able to successfully achieve their intended objectives.The training exercise for the transport of heavy cargo to disaster areas using a medium-sized UAV demonstrated that it is possible to transport heavy relief supplies in strong winds, deliver the load to a place that is presumed to be an isolated area, and automatically lower the load using a winch. Specifically, 72 bottles of two-liter plastic bottles of drinking water (weighing 150 kg), provided by Kirin Beverage Co., Ltd. as relief supplies, were transported in strong winds with a maximum wind speed of just under 10 m/s, with the cargo held close to the UAV during takeoff and cruising to reduce wind resistance. For the unloading, while the UAV was in a hovering state, the cargo was lowered by rope with a winch, and disconnected after being placed on the ground. This was the first demonstration confirming that it is possible for a UAV to automatically unload heavy goods using a winch.(2)Training exercises were also conducted to assess the extent of damage immediately following a disaster using a small-sized UAV, demonstrating that it is possible to confirm the status of disaster victims and the damaged areas with the vehicle's onboard camera. The specifications of the drones used in these training exercises are listed below.MHI is leveraging the technologies it has cultivated through aircraft development and manufacturing to develop unmanned aerial vehicles that can be used for both civilian and defense purposes. The company will continue to conduct demonstration tests to improve safety and reliability, applying the knowledge gained to refine the specifications of UAVs.

Adakah Skor Kredit Kunci untuk Memulihkan Ekonomi dan Demokrasi Kita? berita

Adakah Skor Kredit Kunci untuk Memulihkan Ekonomi dan Demokrasi Kita?

(SeaPRwire) - Kesihatan kewangan Amerika Syarikat harus menjadi perhatian nasional dan menangani kebimbangan ini bermula dengan kita . Perbezaan antara skor kredit 500 dan skor kredit 700 bukan sahaja tentang kadar faedah pinjaman kereta—ia adalah tentang kualiti hidup anda. Skor kredit boleh menentukan kestabilan ekonomi, mempengaruhi umur panjang, dan menjejaskan keselamatan kejiranan kita, kekuatan komuniti kita, dan juga ketahanan demokrasi kita. Amerika dengan skor kredit 700 adalah Amerika yang lebih penuh harapan, lebih bersatu, dan lebih makmur. Saya percaya bahawa menaikkan skor kredit sebanyak 100 mata, kejiranan demi kejiranan, komuniti demi komuniti, boleh menstabilkan negara. Tetapi sekarang, terlalu banyak komuniti—bandar dan luar bandar, kulit hitam dan kulit putih—terperangkap dalam realiti skor kredit 500. Tekanan kewangan dalam komuniti ini menyemarakkan perpecahan, keputusasaan, dan terlalu kerap, pergolakan. Apabila orang berasa tersisih, terkunci, dan terbiar dari segi ekonomi, mereka meluahkan kekecewaan mereka dalam cara yang berbeza. Sepanjang sejarah kita, pelbagai komuniti telah melakukan rusuhan di jalanan dan di peti undi. Kedua-duanya adalah ungkapan kekecewaan dan kesakitan yang sama—perasaan bahawa sistem itu tidak berfungsi untuk mereka. Tetapi biar jelas: rusuhan—sama ada di jalanan atau di peti undi—tidak menyelesaikan masalah. Rusuhan tidak menyediakan makanan di atas meja, membiayai pendidikan anak, atau membina kekayaan untuk generasi seterusnya. Kita harus menyelesaikan masalah kita dan belajar untuk hidup bersama. Penyelesaian itu bermula dengan literasi kewangan dan pemerkasaan ekonomi. Dalam komuniti skor kredit 500, sama ada di bandar Atlanta atau luar bandar Appalachia, landskap kewangan adalah suram. Kedai menunaikan cek terletak di sebelah pemberi pinjaman gaji, yang terletak di sebelah kedai sewa-untuk-beli, yang terletak di sebelah pejabat pinjaman hak milik, yang terletak di sebelah kedai pajak gadai, yang terletak di sebelah kedai arak. Di hujung jalan, terdapat gereja yang cuba memberikan sedikit kelegaan emosi seminggu sekali. Ini adalah ekonomi kemiskinan—sistem yang mengaut keuntungan daripada perjuangan kewangan. Lebih miskin anda, berbanding dengan kekayaan anda. membayar kadar faedah yang lebih tinggi, yuran yang lebih tinggi, sewa yang lebih tinggi. Kos menjadi miskin adalah mahal. Sekarang, bandingkan gambaran ini dengan komuniti skor kredit 700. Daripada pemberi pinjaman gaji, terdapat bank. Daripada , terdapat pemilikan rumah. Daripada hanya terdapat pilihan makanan segera yang diproses, terdapat pilihan makanan segar dan penuh. Daripada keputusasaan ekonomi, terdapat pemilikan dan pelaburan perniagaan. Daripada menunaikan cek, orang menulisnya. Daripada kebencian, terdapat keyakinan. Kedua-dua gambaran ini sangat berbeza kerana skor kredit yang lebih tinggi bukan sahaja memberi manfaat kepada individu—ia menstabilkan seluruh komuniti. Menurut Operation HOPE’s 700 Credit Score , komuniti dengan skor kredit yang lebih tinggi mengalami kadar jenayah yang lebih rendah kerana keputusasaan kewangan berkurangan. Perpecahan politik berkurangan apabila orang ramai berasa diberi kuasa dan bukannya dinafikan hak. Hasil kesihatan bertambah baik kerana tekanan kewangan adalah pemacu utama kesihatan mental dan fizikal yang buruk. Jangka hayat malah meningkat. Malah, orang dalam komuniti yang stabil dan terjamin dari segi ekonomi hidup sehingga lebih lama. Dan apabila lebih ramai orang yang mempunyai akses kepada kredit berbelanja, melabur, dan membina perniagaan, KDNK berkembang dan ekonomi yang lebih luas berkembang maju. Terlalu lama, kita telah berjuang, bergelut, dan bertengkar tentang perkara yang salah. Warna sebenar yang penting hari ini bukanlah hitam atau putih, atau merah atau biru—ia adalah hijau. Kuasa ekonomi adalah apa yang benar-benar mengikat kita bersama. Keluarga kulit putih yang miskin di West Virginia dan keluarga kulit hitam yang miskin di Detroit mungkin mempunyai lebih banyak persamaan daripada yang mereka sedari. Kedua-duanya sedang mengharungi sistem kewangan yang rosak, berhadapan dengan kekurangan peluang ekonomi, dan bergelut untuk melepaskan diri daripada ekonomi skor kredit 500. Daripada bersatu untuk membetulkan sistem, kita telah membenarkan politik perpecahan untuk menjadikan kita menentang satu sama lain. Sementara itu, beberapa syarikat kewangan terbesar terus menang—kerana sementara kita leka, mereka terus menjana wang daripada ketidakstabilan kewangan kita. Tetapi Amerika yang celik ekonomi adalah Amerika yang lebih kuat. Dan kita boleh membina negara yang lebih baik melalui literasi kewangan, pemilikan rumah, keusahawanan, dan akses kepada kredit. Jadi, bagaimana kita boleh membantu rakyat Amerika menaikkan skor kredit mereka ke julat 700? Pertama, kita mesti menjadikan keutamaan negara. Pelan saya adalah untuk memastikan literasi kewangan diajar di setiap sekolah K-12 di Amerika. Setiap kanak-kanak harus lulus dengan mengetahui cara kredit berfungsi, cara membuat belanjawan, dan cara membina kekayaan. Kedua, kita mesti meningkatkan akses perbankan dan melabur dalam program membina kredit. Gurun perbankan harus digantikan dengan penyelesaian perbankan sebenar yang membantu komuniti dan bukannya mengeksploitasi mereka. Bank yang diinsuranskan oleh FDIC mesti diberi insentif untuk menaikkan skor kredit dalam komuniti yang mereka berkhidmat dengan mengaitkan aktiviti ini secara langsung dengan kredit Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) mereka daripada pengawal selia persekutuan. Pastinya, korporat Amerika mempunyai peranan utama untuk dimainkan. Syarikat harus menawarkan faedah membina kredit kepada pekerja sama seperti mereka menawarkan insurans kesihatan. Mereka harus melakukan ini bukan sahaja kerana ia baik untuk komuniti tempat mereka beroperasi tetapi juga kerana tenaga kerja yang terjamin dari segi kewangan adalah tenaga kerja yang lebih produktif dan lebih stabil. Dasar kerajaan peringkat negeri dan persekutuan juga boleh menyokong pembinaan kekayaan. Dasar seperti meluaskan Earned Income Tax Credit dan CRA harus menumpukan pada inisiatif membina pilihan dan membina kredit di kawasan yang kurang mendapat perkhidmatan. Amerika yang stabil dari segi kewangan adalah Amerika yang lebih kuat, lebih selamat, dan lebih bersatu. Ia adalah Amerika di mana orang memiliki masa depan mereka, dan bukannya menyewanya. Ia adalah tempat di mana komuniti berkembang maju dan bukannya hanya bertahan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

(SeaPRwire) - NUUK, Greenland — mengisytiharkan pada hari Rabu bahawa "Greenland adalah milik kami" dan tidak boleh diambil atau dibeli sebagai bantahan terhadap mesej daripada , yang mengatakan pentadbirannya menyokong — tetapi menambah bahawa Amerika Syarikat akan memperoleh wilayah itu "dengan satu cara atau cara lain." Perdana Menteri Greenland, Múte Bourup Egede berkata bahawa rakyat pulau itu bukan Amerika atau Denmark kerana mereka adalah orang Greenland. Amerika Syarikat perlu memahami perkara itu, tulisnya dalam satu hantaran dalam bahasa Greenland dan Denmark di Facebook pada hari Rabu. Masa depan Greenland akan ditentukan oleh rakyatnya, tulisnya.

"Kami sangat menyokong hak anda untuk menentukan masa depan anda sendiri, dan jika anda memilih, kami mengalu-alukan anda ke Amerika Syarikat," kata Trump. "Kami akan memastikan anda selamat. Kami akan menjadikan anda kaya. Dan bersama-sama kita akan membawa Greenland ke tahap yang tidak pernah anda bayangkan sebelum ini," tambahnya. Tetapi Trump juga berkata pentadbirannya "bekerja dengan semua orang yang terlibat untuk cuba mendapatkannya," merujuk kepada hasratnya untuk dari Denmark, sekutu lama A.S. "Kami sangat memerlukannya untuk keselamatan dunia antarabangsa. Dan saya rasa kita akan mendapatkannya. Dengan satu cara atau cara lain, kita akan mendapatkannya," kata Trump. Ramai di Greenland, iaitu yang merupakan , bimbang dan tersinggung dengan tanah air. Ditanya mengenai komen Trump, Menteri Luar Denmark berkata pada hari Rabu beliau tidak fikir penduduk Greenland mahu berpisah daripada Denmark untuk sebaliknya menjadi "sebahagian daripada Amerika yang bersepadu." Lars Løkke Rasmussen berusaha untuk memberikan nada optimis, dengan mengatakan beliau percaya bahawa rujukan Trump kepada menghormati hak penduduk Greenland untuk menentukan nasib sendiri adalah "bahagian terpenting dalam ucapan itu." "Saya sangat optimis tentang apa yang akan menjadi keputusan Greenland tentang perkara ini. Mereka mahu melonggarkan hubungan mereka dengan Denmark, kami sedang berusaha ke arah itu, untuk mempunyai hubungan yang lebih sama rata," kata menteri itu semasa Løkke menambah bahawa adalah penting bahawa pilihan raya parlimen minggu depan adalah bebas dan adil "tanpa sebarang campur tangan antarabangsa." Penduduk Greenland akan pergi ke peti undi pada hari Selasa. Komen terbaru Trump mengenai pengambilalihan pulau itu telah mencetuskan minat yang belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya dalam kemerdekaan penuh daripada Denmark, yang telah menjadi isu utama semasa musim kempen.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
