Atlas Lithium’s Neves Project Completes Definitive Feasibility Study Estimating 145% IRR and 11-Month Payback ACN Newswire

Atlas Lithium’s Neves Project Completes Definitive Feasibility Study Estimating 145% IRR and 11-Month Payback

Boca Raton, Florida--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 4, 2025) - Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) ("Atlas Lithium" or "Company"), a leading lithium development company, is pleased to announce that SGS Canada Inc. ("SGS") has completed the Definitive Feasibility Study ("DFS") for the Company's 100%-owned Neves Lithium Project ("Project"), a technical report prepared under the U.S. guidelines of Item 1300 of Regulation S-K ("Regulation S-K 1300"). This hard-rock Project is well-suited to being a low-cost open-pit mining operation, as its spodumene deposits are located relatively close to the surface. Located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, the Project encompasses 4 of the 98 mineral rights for lithium owned by Atlas Lithium. As detailed in the DFS, the Neves Project is expected to deliver strong financial metrics with an internal rate of return ("IRR") of 145%, payback in 11 months from the start of operations, and an after-tax net present value ("NPV") of $539 million. Importantly, the DFS estimates the Neves Project to have operational production costs of only $489 per tonne of lithium concentrate, positioning Atlas Lithium among the world's lowest-cost producers. Complete details of these metrics can be found in the DFS, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. Marc-Antoine Laporte from SGS serves as the Qualified Person for the DFS under Regulation S-K 1300. SGS is well-known as a global leader in testing, inspection, and certification services for mineral properties and projects.Industry-Leading Capital Efficiency and Low Operating CostsThe DFS supports that expected direct capital expenditures of $57.6 million will be needed for the implementation of the Project, by far the lowest such capital costs among other announced projects in Brazil. Notably, Atlas Lithium has already invested approximately $30 million in acquiring and transporting the Project's newly fabricated dense media separation ("DMS") plant to Brazil, as previously reported. The Company has secured two non-dilutive pre-payment agreements for its lithium concentrate totaling $40 million and has received additional funding interest from other parties, including 10-year debt financing options, any of which could support the Project's capital requirements.The Company believes that the DFS validates the Project's strong economics, positioning it among the most capital-efficient and lowest-cost hard-rock lithium developments globally. The Project will employ proven DMS technology, with comprehensive metallurgical testing demonstrating an expected robust lithium recovery rate of 61.7% to produce high-quality, low-impurity lithium concentrate. This relatively straightforward, low-risk DMS processing methodology minimizes technical complexity and operational risk while enabling a low environmental footprint.Atlas Lithium's mineral right to be mined, as detailed in the DFS, received its "Portaria de Lavra" (mining concession) status from Brazil's Ministry of Mines and Energy on May 27, 2025 — the highest level of titleship in Brazil and one that allows continuous mining operations. Multiple deposit areas within the Project remain open for resource expansion along strike and at depth and are thus expected to extend the life of mine. Additionally, numerous high-potential geological targets remain within the Project's mineral rights, providing compelling opportunities for future exploration.Located in the established Araçuaí Pegmatite District in the Vale do Jequitinhonha, often called Lithium Valley, the Project benefits from favorable infrastructure, including proximity to transportation networks, water resources, and skilled labor. The Project qualifies for tax incentives from the Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (SUDENE), as promulgated by Brazil's Ministry of Integration and Regional Development, reducing the corporate tax rate from 34% to 15.25% and further enhancing profitability."The DFS indicates potentially outstanding returns for our initial vision of developing a focused, near-term, profitable lithium production asset with minimal capital requirements," said Marc Fogassa, Chairman and CEO of Atlas Lithium. "The combination of our low capital intensity and rapid payback period is expected to create exceptional value for our shareholders while positioning Atlas Lithium to benefit from future organic expansion opportunities at Neves and other high-potential lithium areas that we own. Importantly, we are creating many quality employment opportunities in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region, representing a significant societal contribution of our Project."Experienced Leadership Driving Project ImplementationFollowing his leadership role in collaborating with SGS on the DFS, project implementation activities are being supervised by Eduardo Queiroz, Atlas Lithium's Project Management Officer (PMO) and Vice President of Engineering. Mr. Queiroz has more than two decades of hands-on experience managing complex, large-scale mining projects."The DFS demonstrates the technical robustness of the Project, with proven DMS technology and comprehensive metallurgical test work validated by SGS, a premier firm in the lithium space," said Mr. Queiroz. "With our processing plant fully fabricated and paid for, and now with the DFS in hand, we have systematically de-risked the Project. I am excited to lead the implementation phase of Atlas Lithium's journey to becoming a lithium producer."Salinas and Clear: The Next Expansion FrontierAtlas Lithium is strategically positioned to capitalize on its extensive regional lithium exploration portfolio in Brazil, particularly through advancement of its Salinas Project and Clear Project, both 100% owned by the Company. Atlas Lithium's Salinas Project is just 5 miles east of the Colina lithium asset previously owned by Latin Resources — a major factor in Pilbara Minerals's acquisition of that company in 2024 for approximately $370 million. At the Salinas Project, Atlas Lithium has already achieved promising initial results, including the discovery of spodumene-rich pegmatites very close to the surface, and highly positive results from soil geochemistry and from LIDAR geological mapping.Atlas Lithium's Clear Project is located less than 4 miles from Sigma Lithium's operating lithium mine, and represents significant untapped potential with highly positive results from soil geochemistry and from LIDAR geological mapping.Diversification in Critical MineralsAtlas Lithium also owns approximately 30% of Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF), a separate company with exploration programs in uranium, rare earths, titanium, and graphite.About Atlas Lithium Corporation Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) is a lithium development company focused on advancing its Neves Project to production. The Neves Project's Definitive Feasibility Study demonstrates excellent economics with a 145% IRR, $539 million NPV, and an 11-month payback. The Neves Project has received operational permitting, and its dense media separation plant has been acquired and transported to Brazil. With approximately 539 square kilometers of lithium mineral rights, Atlas Lithium owns the largest lithium exploration footprint in Brazil among publicly listed companies. Additionally, Atlas Lithium currently holds an approximate 30% ownership stake in Atlas Critical Minerals Corporation (OTCQB: JUPGF).Safe Harbor StatementThis press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Honda HRC Wins 46th Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance Road Race

MIE, Japan, August 4, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Honda factory team*1 “Honda HRC” (CBR1000RR-R FIREBLADE SP: Takumi Takahashi / Johann Zarco) has won the 2025 FIM*2 Endurance World Championship “Coca-Cola” Suzuka 8 Hours Road Race 46th Annual Event (Suzuka 8 Hours) held at the Suzuka Circuit in Mie, on Sunday, August 3.This win marks Honda HRC’s fourth consecutive Suzuka 8 Hours victory. Team rider Takumi Takahashi has extended his outright record of the most Suzuka 8 Hours wins to seven (four consecutive), while Johann Zarco achieves his second consecutive victory. This victory also marks Honda’s 31st win at the event.*1 Factory team: Racing team managed by the bike manufacturer*2 FIM: Federation Internationale de MotocyclismeTakumi Takahashi (center) and Johann Zarco (right) on the podiumHonda HRC teamHonda HRC, which won the Suzuka 8 Hours once again, recorded the fastest lap time in the qualifying session held on Friday, August 1, securing its spot in the Top 10 Trial, in which the top 10 qualifying teams compete for final grid spots. In the Top 10 Trial held on Saturday, August 2 at 3:30 pm, Takahashi and Zarco took to the track, with Zarco recording a lap time of 2 minutes 4.290 seconds, a new Suzuka 8 Hours lap record, to secure pole position.The Suzuka 8 Hours race started at 11:30 am on Sunday, August 3, with Takahashi as lead rider for the fourth consecutive year. Takahashi took the hole shot, and after relinquishing the lead and maintaining second place for several laps, regained the lead on Lap 14, after which he gradually expanded his advantage. In the subsequent stints with Zarco and Takahashi taking turns on the bike, the team demonstrated consistent performance, leveraging fuel efficiency and quick pit work to extend the time gap, opening a one-lap advantage over second place by the midpoint of the race. In the closing stages, two safety car deployments closed the gap, but Honda HRC capitalized on the competing team’s final pit stop to create a 40-second lead which was maintained to the checkered flag. Zarco crossed the line at 7:30 pm completing Lap 217, securing Honda HRC’s fourth consecutive Suzuka 8 Hours victory.Takumi Takahashi | Honda HRC“I’m glad it went smoothly. It was a last-minute decision to compete with only two riders, and I knew it would be tough. I’m so exhausted. Toward the end, Johann’s condition looked tough, so I focused on doing my best to hand him the bike in good shape. In my final stint, I aimed to pull away by getting into the [2 minute] 6-second range, but due to the intense pressure from behind, I switched to maintaining the gap and handing over the bike safely. Johann really gave it everything. I’m so grateful to him. The team and everyone else worked hard, and I’d like to thank all the fans who supported us.”Johann Zarco | Honda HRC“I’m tired, just like Takumi. Race control was good, but it was difficult to recover between stints, and I couldn’t recover as much as I had hoped. When the safety car came out in Takumi’s final stint, he was able to extend his laps on track to give me more time to recover. The safety car came out for the second time during my stint, which allowed me to gradually regain my rhythm. After dusk, I was able to control the gap and finish the race enjoying the beautiful scenery. Takumi is a strong rider who can handle the heat well and didn’t show any signs of fatigue, which I think contributes to the team’s strength. I don’t want to race with only two-riders next year though. Honda has a fuel-efficient bike, which gives us a big advantage, and we were able to finish the race with seven pit stops. I would like to thank everyone on the team.”Teruaki Matsubara | Honda HRC team manager“This was an outstanding result, and I am very satisfied. First, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to both riders who worked so hard and did a great job in such harsh conditions. I would also like to thank everyone on the team who supported the riders with everything they had. They truly showed what teamwork is about. Once again, our pit stops were the fastest, which made a big difference. All of our preparations paid off today. It wasn’t an easy race, but in the end, everything came together perfectly. It was a really fun and rewarding experience.”Koji Watanabe, President of Honda Racing Corporation“I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Honda HRC riders Takumi Takahashi and Johann Zarco, the team staff, and everyone else involved for their outstanding teamwork in securing victory despite the extreme heat and the pressure of aiming for a fourth consecutive title. Takahashi has set an incredible record by achieving his seventh victory at the Suzuka 8 Hours, breaking his previous record for the most wins at the event. I would also like to extend my respect to Johann Zarco for his contribution in continuing to compete this year. I would like to once again express my gratitude to all the sponsors who supported our participation and to all the fans who cheered us on during the race. Going forward, HRC will continue to take on the challenge to meet the expectations of motorsports fans and Honda fans alike. We look forward to your continued support and encouragement.” Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

‘Pemandangan dari Neraka.’ Mangsa yang Terselamat dari Pengeboman Hiroshima dan Nagasaki Berkongsi Kisah Mereka dalam Atomic People berita

‘Pemandangan dari Neraka.’ Mangsa yang Terselamat dari Pengeboman Hiroshima dan Nagasaki Berkongsi Kisah Mereka dalam Atomic People

(SeaPRwire) - Lapan puluh tahun sejak kali pertama dan terakhir bom atom digunakan dalam peperangan pada 6 Ogos dan 9 Ogos 1945, mangsa yang terselamat daripada serangan ke atas Hiroshima dan Nagasaki menceritakan pengalaman mereka di lokasi dalam Atomic People, yang akan disiarkan di PBS pada 4 Ogos. U.S. telah membangunkan bom atom sejak Jepun menyerang Pearl Harbor pada tahun 1941. Apabila U.S. menjatuhkan bom tersebut empat tahun kemudian, ia serta-merta membunuh kira-kira 78,000 daripada 350,000 penduduk Hiroshima dan kira-kira 40,000 daripada 240,000 penduduk Nagasaki. Kira-kira seminggu selepas pengeboman, pada 15 Ogos, diumumkan bahawa Jepun akan menyerah kalah, secara rasmi menandatangani dokumen pada 2 September dan menamatkan Perang Dunia Kedua. Kebanyakan mangsa yang terselamat adalah kanak-kanak apabila bom atom dijatuhkan, namun mereka dapat mengingati hari-hari malang itu dengan jelas. Daging meleleh Mangsa terselamat mengingati pada mulanya melihat cahaya terang. Dalam Atomic People, Kikuyo Nakamura, yang berusia 21 tahun ketika itu, berkata gunung-ganang kelihatan seperti terbakar. Pelajar di Hiroshima mengingati cahaya yang sangat kuat, cahaya yang menyilaukan meluru ke arah mereka di dalam bilik darjah. Kesan bom atom dapat dilihat serta-merta, kata mangsa yang terselamat. Seorang lelaki menggambarkan genting bumbung rumahnya pecah berkecai dan sebuah lubang terbuka di siling. Hiromu berkata langit kelihatan seperti "hujan api". Michiko Kodama berada di sekolah pada masa itu dan teringat bersembunyi di bawah meja ketika siling runtuh. Tingkap pecah dan berkecai di atas meja dan kerusi bilik darjah. Hiromu menggambarkan melihat seseorang dengan "kulit tergantung dari wajahnya seperti kain lama," "daging meleleh seperti lilin." Bapa Kodama mengambil gadis berusia 7 tahun itu dari sekolah, dan semasa dia menggendongnya di belakang, dia melihat orang dengan daging cair — yang disebutnya "pemandangan dari neraka." Chieko Kiriake berusia 15 tahun ketika dia melihat mangsa dengan kulit dari kaki mereka mengelupas. Apabila mangsa mula meninggal dunia, pelajar terpaksa menggali lubang untuk mereka di padang permainan mereka. “Saya membakar mereka,” kata Kiriake. Di bawah Taman Peringatan Keamanan Hiroshima terdapat sisa-sisa puluhan ribu mangsa. Kesan selepas Mangsa yang terselamat yang kehilangan tempat tinggal terpaksa membina pondok barak. Makanan sukar didapati. Mangsa yang terselamat menceritakan pergi ke gunung untuk mencari pokok dengan buah-buahan yang boleh dimakan. Mereka bahkan makan telur lebah dari sarang lebah. Seperti yang dikatakan Seiichiro Mise, "Kami benar-benar hidup seperti manusia gua." Seorang mangsa terselamat berkata bapanya meninggal dunia selepas perutnya menjadi hitam dan lebam, dan dia memuntahkan darah. Menjelang akhir tahun 1945, kira-kira 90,000 orang di Hiroshima dan Nagasaki telah meninggal dunia. Mangsa yang terselamat menerima beberapa rawatan perubatan dan beberapa bentuk pampasan, tetapi kempen untuk lebih banyak pampasan dan pemansuhan senjata nuklear masih berterusan. Dokumentari itu berakhir dengan mangsa yang terselamat, Sueichi Kido, di United Nations pada tahun 2023, bercakap tentang bagaimana pemandangan perang di Ukraine dan Gaza membuatnya takut bahawa perang nuklear lain mungkin akan berlaku. Mangsa yang terselamat berharap kesaksian seperti Atomic People, mengenai kesan dahsyat bom itu, akan menghalang sejarah daripada berulang. Atomic People akan ditayangkan pada 4 Ogos pukul 10 malam ET.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Mengapa Pemimpin Terbaik Menerima Ke”bodoh”an Dalaman Mereka berita

Mengapa Pemimpin Terbaik Menerima Ke”bodoh”an Dalaman Mereka

(SeaPRwire) - Bayangkan ini, pada pagi Isnin, dua pemimpin berjalan masuk ke tempat kerja anda. Yang pertama mempunyai ijazah dari Ivy League dan ego yang sepadan; mereka bercakap dalam bahasa LinkedIn dan bersedia dengan jawapan kepada soalan yang tidak ditanya oleh sesiapa. Yang kedua mempunyai kelayakan yang sama, bercakap dalam bahasa yang mudah, dan bermula dengan bertanya kepada pasukan tentang cabaran yang mereka hadapi, mengakui apabila mereka tidak mempunyai penyelesaian buat masa ini. Sekarang tanya diri anda, dengan siapa anda lebih suka bekerja? Eksekutif yang sempurna atau pemimpin yang menerima "kebebalan" dalaman mereka dan mengakui mereka tidak tahu segala-galanya. Secara peribadi, saya lebih memilih orang "bodoh" daripada orang yang tahu semua benda. Walaupun kebijaksanaan konvensional mengatakan pemimpin mesti memproyeksikan keyakinan dan kepakaran yang tidak berbelah bahagi, menerima "kebebalan" seseorang sebenarnya menjadikan seseorang itu lebih berkesan, dan mewujudkan persekitaran di mana inovasi dan komunikasi yang jujur boleh berkembang maju. Kebanyakan eksekutif takut mengakui apa yang mereka tidak tahu, tetapi ketakutan itu sendiri yang mengehadkan potensi mereka. Saya menemui nilai menjadi orang yang paling "bodoh" dalam bilik apabila saya pertama kali tiba di San Diego untuk memulakan peranan baharu saya di WD-40 Company. Sekumpulan pemimpin kanan telah berkumpul untuk mendengar daripada perunding luar yang berkongsi pandangan tentang hala tuju syarikat. Sebagai pemimpin kanan yang baharu, terdapat tekanan untuk berada di puncak permainan saya. Tetapi sepanjang mesyuarat, saya berasa seperti saya berada dalam salah satu mimpi di mana anda berada di dalam bilik yang penuh dengan orang yang bercakap dengan tidak difahami dan anda adalah satu-satunya yang tidak memahami sepatah perkataan pun. Saya menjeling ke sekeliling bilik. Semua orang mengangguk setuju dan mencatat nota. Mungkinkah saya satu-satunya yang mengalami mimpi ngeri itu? Baiklah, saya rasa ya. Masa untuk bersuara. “Maaf mencelah,” saya mulakan. "Tetapi saya tidak tahu apa yang anda semua bincangkan." Saya menjangkakan untuk berasa seperti orang luar, jelas tidak berkelayakan untuk jawatan baharu ini. Sebaliknya, saya terkejut apabila menyaksikan perubahan halus dalam tekanan di dalam bilik apabila semua orang mengeluh lega. Dan kemudian saya sedar: Jika saya mahu menjadi pemimpin yang berimpak, adalah menjadi tanggungjawab saya untuk mewujudkan tempat kerja di mana adalah selamat untuk kita semua untuk tidak tahu segala-galanya dari semasa ke semasa. Hampir semua orang yang mencapai peranan kepimpinan kanan berfikir mereka sepatutnya mempunyai semua jawapan. Tetapi apa yang akan mereka pelajari ialah tugas mereka adalah untuk memimpin orang lain untuk membangunkan, mengetahui dan berkongsi jawapan dari sudut pandangan unik mereka. Apakah jenis jawapan yang mungkin anda dapat jika anda bertanya soalan dan membiarkan orang lain bercakap? Anda belajar apa yang pakar tahu, mengembangkan pengetahuan anda dalam proses itu, dan mewujudkan persekitaran yang menggalakkan pembelajaran, eksperimen dan inovasi. ; ia adalah keberanian. Apabila pemimpin jujur tentang cabaran mereka dan menjemput kerjasama, mereka membina kepercayaan. Ini tentang menunjukkan anda manusia, bukan sempurna. Budaya di mana semua orang terdedah—bukan hanya pemimpin—adalah budaya di mana semua orang berasa selamat untuk bercakap benar. Tanpa budaya keselamatan ini, seluruh komuniti kehilangan manfaat yang memperkaya daripada semua sudut pandangan. Di tempat kerja jenis ini, kami menghargai prinsip bahawa apabila kami bertindak dengan niat baik dan dengan niat yang baik, tiada apa yang perlu disembunyikan. Dengan berkongsi kesilapan kami, kami membawa kebijaksanaan dan pengetahuan tambahan kepada kumpulan. Pasukan yang paling berkesan berkembang maju apabila pemimpin menyedari bahawa setiap percubaan yang gagal—seperti 1,000 percubaan Edison untuk menyempurnakan mentol lampu—mewakili kemajuan, bukan kegagalan. Dengan mencontohi perspektif ini, pemimpin mewujudkan persekitaran di mana orang berasa selamat untuk berinovasi, selamat untuk mencuba dan gagal, dan selamat untuk berjaya, mengetahui komuniti mereka akan menyokong mereka tanpa mengira hasilnya. Saya pernah mendengar ia diperkatakan tentang sifat kerjaya dalam kepimpinan: “Ia adalah program pembangunan peribadi yang dibalut dengan peluang kerjaya.” Ternyata, perjalanan peribadi menjadi pemimpin juga merupakan perjalanan ke arah diri yang lebih baik dan komuniti yang lebih baik yang berdedikasi untuk melindungi dan menyokong satu sama lain. Kepimpinan bukan tentang mengetahui segala-galanya—ia tentang mengakui apabila anda tidak tahu. Buang keberanian palsu. Terima "kebodohan" dalaman anda. Itulah cara anda membuka kunci kepercayaan, inovasi dan kejayaan. Pasukan anda sedang menunggu. Adakah anda akan berpegang pada ilusi kepastian, atau memimpin dengan keaslian yang berani? Pemimpin terbaik memilih kerentanan. Mana-mana "orang bodoh" boleh melakukannya—sekarang giliran anda.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Apa yang Kebakaran Hutan L.A. Tidak Dapat Renggut Dari Saya

(SeaPRwire) - Menapis. Perkataan baharu dalam perbendaharaan kata saya. Atau sekurang-kurangnya seperti yang digunakan dalam konteks tertentu ini. Saya biasa menapis tepung ke dalam adunan kek keju dan gula aising di atas biskut yang baru dibakar. Saya sering melakukannya di dapur berwarna mentega kesayangan saya. Kini dapur itu telah tiada, hilang bersama seluruh rumah saya akibat , termasuk bandar kecil Altadena saya yang indah, pada bulan Januari, dan saya berdiri di kedai perkakasan mencari topeng KN95, gogal, sepasang but getah, dan sarung tangan yang sangat tebal. Sudah tiga minggu sejak kami pergi, dan walaupun saya telah mendengar cerita daripada mereka yang telah kembali, termasuk suami saya, saya sendiri belum kembali untuk meninjau kerosakan. Saya telah menumpang di rumah ibu bapa seorang rakan, tanpa henti membuat panggilan dengan syarikat insurans dan bank, sambil cuba mengekalkan senyuman besar yang lucu di wajah saya untuk anak lelaki saya yang berusia 7 bulan, tetapi juga, dan yang paling penting, saya tidak dapat mengumpul keberanian. Ia adalah rumah yang istimewa. Suami saya mereka setiap inci persegi dan melengkapkan setiap bilik dengan perabotnya sendiri. Kami membawa anak pertama kami ke sana dari pusat kelahiran, pada awal pagi. Saya membangunkan resipi dan merakam buku masakan di dapur itu, menganjurkan majlis makan malam larut malam yang tidak terhitung jumlahnya di ruang tamu kami yang selesa, dan malah merakam kempen papan iklan menyusukan anak saya di atas meja pulau. Rumah itu menyimpan banyak kenangan. Ia adalah rumah – bukan sahaja untuk saya, tetapi untuk semua orang yang menjejakkan kaki ke dalamnya. Walaupun anda menyedari bahawa perkara penting dalam hidup adalah kesihatan dan keselamatan keluarga anda, dan anda benar-benar mempercayainya, kehilangan itu masih menyakitkan. Saya mungkin tidak akan kembali langsung, apatah lagi menapis timbunan runtuhan, jika saya tidak cuai meninggalkan cincin pertunangan saya di dalam kotak barang kemas saya di bilik mandi saya. Anda tidak pernah menyangka ia akan berlaku kepada anda. Tragedi seperti ini berlaku kepada orang lain . Rakan sepupu seorang rakan, dipisahkan oleh beberapa darjah. Kisah-kisah yang dilaporkan hanya melalui permainan telefon, secara tidak langsung. malam kami melarikan diri, namun hati kami memberitahu kami bahawa daripada semua rumah yang terancam yang terletak di bawah banjaran gunung Eaton Canyon di kawasan istimewa kami di dunia, rumah kami akan terselamat. Begitulah cara ia berfungsi. Ia adalah hukum sesuatu, walaupun saya tidak tahu apa. Kami berpindah keluar atas lebihan berhati-hati, bukan keperluan, atas syor beberapa jiran dan rakan-rakan yang ketakutan yang memberi amaran bahawa jika angin berubah, kebakaran mungkin menjalar ke arah kami pada waktu malam. Liputan telefon bimbit tidak menentu sepanjang hari dan bekalan elektrik telah terputus selama berjam-jam, jadi walaupun terdapat desas-desus tentang kebakaran yang berlaku di seberang bandar di , berita tentang rabung yang marak setengah batu dari rumah kami belum sampai kepada kami. "Santa Anas" adalah perkataan di jalanan, tetapi penduduk Los Angeles tidak takut dengan tindakan kecil daripada Ana. Kami tidak asing dengan kekuatannya, dan sehingga kini dia hanya cakap kosong. Kuat tetapi tidak berkuasa, anda boleh katakan. Oleh itu, kami mengambil hampir tiada apa-apa, dipandu hanya oleh kelipan cahaya lilin. Satu beg pakaian antara kami bertiga, diisi tergesa-gesa dalam gelap. Sepasang seluar peluh berkedut dari lantai bilik tidur, coli penyusuan hitam berkilat yang tinggal di laci meja sisi katil saya, pam susu, tiga pasport, sijil kelahiran anak kami yang baru dikeluarkan, dua komputer riba, dan satu baju sejuk hitam buruk yang tidak pernah membangkitkan kegembiraan dari awal lagi. Tidak padan, berbulu di sekeliling kolar, dan pastinya–dan saya tidak dapat menekankan ini secukupnya–tidak layak menjadi satu-satunya pakaian selain daripada sepasang seluar peluh yang tinggal untuk nama saya. Pada hari-hari dan minggu-minggu berikutnya, gambar mental barangan peribadi yang hilang akan muncul secara sporadik di kepala saya. Imej yang dialu-alukan dan tidak diingini pada masa yang sama. Sukar untuk diakui, namun setiap satu adalah memori kecil yang menghiburkan, mewakili kehidupan yang dijalani sepenuhnya, tanpa rasa takut, dan bermakna. Saya akan berjalan-jalan pagi setiap hari, rutin yang diwujudkan bertahun-tahun lalu yang membuatkan saya berasa lengkap dan bersedia untuk menghadapi hari itu, apabila penglihatan kandungan meja sisi katil saya tiba-tiba akan menunjukkan dirinya: nota yang ditulis oleh rakan baik dan tertua saya pada hari kelahiran anak saya, sekeping foto dari ultrabunyi pertama kami, dan timbunan sekurang-kurangnya 17 chapstick yang terabai yang kini sangat saya rindui. Secara umum, saya hidup tanpa banyak penyesalan. Saya lebih suka melihat ke hadapan, bukan ke belakang. Tetapi pada hari-hari itu saya terus kembali kepada soalan yang sama: Apa yang saya fikirkan? Bagaimana saya boleh mengambil pasport saya dan bukan cincin pertunangan saya? Borang dokumentasi undang-undang yang boleh diganti dan bukannya simbol perkahwinan saya, hubungan yang paling penting dalam hidup saya selain daripada hubungan dengan anak lelaki saya yang sangat lazat? Semasa saya memandu di jalan kami buat kali pertama sejak kemusnahannya, saya tidak merasakan apa-apa. Kejutan sepenuhnya. Kekurangan pemahaman sepenuhnya. Walaupun saya fikir saya mempunyai gambaran tentang apa yang diharapkan, anda tidak boleh benar-benar membayangkan bagaimana rupa sebidang tanah yang tandus, berkilat, tanpa rumah sehingga anda menyaksikannya sendiri. Seluruh Altadena diratakan, kering, dan tidak bernyawa. Ia adalah pemandangan yang tidak dapat dibayangkan sehingga otak logik anda berhenti mengejut. Saya terus berjalan ke dalam runtuhan. Saya fikir secara tidak sedar saya ingin merasakan sesuatu, dan saya tahu bahawa jika saya memaksa diri saya masuk ke dalam sempadan yang kini tidak berdinding yang dahulunya adalah tempat yang saya panggil rumah, saya akan merasakannya. Secara senyap, saya berjalan melalui rumah itu sambil mencatat sisa-sisa yang cair dan cacat yang membantu saya mencari jalan. Melalui garaj, melepasi rangka logam Mercedes lama saya, naik ke dapur di mana kuali besi tuang yang hangus mengorientasikan saya, dan akhirnya ke bilik tidur dan bilik mandi kami, yang menampakkan diri hanya kerana timbunan jubin yang masih utuh tetapi berubah warna yang pernah melapisi bilik mandi kami. Saya berlutut, terharu dengan tugas di hadapan dan mula perlahan-lahan menyapu abu. Di situlah ia. Cincin pertunangan saya yang mendung, ternoda, diratakan. Tidak lebih daripada tiga saat ke dalam penapisan, tepat di mana bahagian jiwa saya yang sangat intuitif memberitahu saya ia akan berada. Sejak kebakaran, saya telah dibanjiri dengan ungkapan cinta. Suami saya mengubah saat yang menyedihkan menjadi saat yang menggembirakan apabila, dalam perjalanan ke pusat membeli-belah untuk membeli stokin kerana stokin saya satu-satunya telah menjadi coklat dan koyak, dia mengingatkan saya bahawa kami sentiasa mengatakan tidak ada kemewahan yang lebih besar dalam hidup daripada sepasang stokin yang baharu. Anak lelaki saya yang tidak tahu apa-apa belajar menghirup dari straw dan kemudian serta-merta setelah menguasai tugas itu, menghulurkan tangan kepada saya untuk berkongsi jusnya yang lazat. Kurang daripada 24 jam selepas kami berpindah, abang saya memandu kembali ke rumah kami yang masih berasap untuk menyelamatkan beberapa barang yang masih boleh dikenal pasti, kemudian membersihkannya dengan senyap dan menyimpannya dengan selamat sehingga dia tahu saya sudah bersedia secara emosi untuk menerimanya. Seorang wanita yang tidak pernah saya temui menghantar DM kepada saya menawarkan untuk menghantar beg barangan runcit dan satu liter ragu kambing yang dimasak di rumah. Saya berlutut di sana di dalam runtuhan selama beberapa minit, mata saya berlinangan air mata. Kemudian saya memasukkan cincin itu ke dalam poket saya dan kembali ke kereta saya. Saya mempunyai semua yang saya perlukan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rusia Mengalami Letusan Gunung Berapi ‘Bersejarah’ Beberapa Hari Selepas Gempa Bumi Besar berita

Rusia Mengalami Letusan Gunung Berapi ‘Bersejarah’ Beberapa Hari Selepas Gempa Bumi Besar

(SeaPRwire) - Apabila melanda Semenanjung Kamchatka Rusia minggu lepas, ia mencetuskan sebagai ombak yang merambat merentasi Pasifik sejauh A.S., Amerika Latin, dan juga New Zealand. Ia juga mungkin menyumbang kepada letusan gunung berapi yang telah lama tidak aktif. Awal Ahad di semenanjung yang sama jarang didiami, gunung berapi Krasheninnikov memuntahkan awan abu putih ke langit buat kali pertama dalam beratus-ratus tahun. The (KVERT) menggelarkannya sebagai letusan "bersejarah". Кадры первого в истории наблюдения извержения вулкана Крашенинникова на Камчатке:Видео: Камчатский филиал ФИЦ ЕГС РАН — ТАСС (@tass_agency) Terdapat beberapa percanggahan tentang bila sebenarnya letusan terakhir gunung berapi itu berlaku. Menurut KVERT, "pancaran lava terakhir" Krasheninnikov berlaku antara 1423 dan 1503. Menurut , the Smithsonian Institution, ia adalah sekitar 1550. Kira-kira 9.5 jam selepas letusan bermula, KVERT mengeluarkan , memberi amaran kepada pesawat tentang "pelepasan abu yang ketara ke atmosfera." Data satelit menunjukkan "letupan menghantar abu sehingga 8-8.5 km a.s.l." (kira-kira 5 batu). Aktiviti gunung berapi menurun , menurut KVERT, yang menurunkan amaran penerbangan kepada jingga, tetapi , letusan masih berterusan, dan KVERT memberi amaran bahawa "letupan abu sehingga 10 km (32,800 kaki) a.s.l. boleh berlaku pada bila-bila masa." Tiada bahaya "Plum merebak ke arah timur dari gunung berapi ke arah Lautan Pasifik. Tiada kawasan berpenduduk di sepanjang laluannya. Tiada hujan abu direkodkan di kawasan berpenduduk. Tiada kumpulan pelancong berdaftar di kawasan gunung berapi," Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Kamchatka Territory . KVERT berkata plum abu telah hanyut lebih daripada 500 km (lebih 300 batu) menjelang petang Isnin. Krasheninnikov terletak di Kronotsky Nature Reserve, yang mengatakan dalam bahawa tidak ada ancaman kepada mana-mana orang atau infrastruktur kerana gunung berapi itu sebahagian besarnya dikelilingi oleh tanah terbiar. "Sudah tentu, letusan gunung berapi adalah peristiwa yang jelas dan menarik, terutamanya bagi saintis," kata Vsevolod Yakovlev, pengarah rizab itu, dalam kenyataan itu. Tetapi, tambahnya, "letusan Krasheninnikov bukanlah sesuatu yang luar biasa bagi rantau yang mempunyai aktiviti gunung berapi yang tinggi." Sesungguhnya, Semenanjung Kamchatka diiktiraf pada tahun 1996 sebagai Tapak Warisan Dunia UNESCO kerana " ." Gunung berapi Klyuchevskoy di semenanjung itu, yang merupakan gunung berapi aktif terbesar di hemisfera utara, meletus hanya beberapa jam selepas gempa bumi berukuran 8.8 pada 30 Julai. Seorang wakil U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) memberitahu bahawa gempa itu "tidak menyebabkan" letusan itu kerana gunung berapi itu sudah "menunjukkan tanda-tanda keresahan" pada hari-hari dan minggu-minggu sebelumnya, walaupun ia mungkin menggiatkan "kekuatan letusan termasuk beberapa pelepasan abu." Bagaimana gempa bumi dan gunung berapi berkaitan? Gempa bumi dan aktiviti gunung berapi berpunca daripada pergerakan plat tektonik bumi. Aktiviti gunung berapi dan seismik adalah perkara biasa di sempadan plat sedemikian. The Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences bahawa terdapat "hubungan langsung" antara gempa bumi bersejarah minggu lepas dan pengaktifan gunung berapi yang berlaku selepas itu. Gempa bumi itu, kata pengarah institut Alexey Ozerov, "mengaktifkan pusat magmatik, 'mengepam' tenaga tambahan ke dalamnya." Letusan Krashennikov mungkin tidak sepenuhnya dicetuskan oleh gempa bumi 8.8 yang berdekatan sebelum ini, Harold Tobin, seorang profesor seismologi dan geobahaya di University of Washington, memberitahu . Tetapi, Tobin menyatakan, gelombang seismik gempa itu mungkin bertindak untuk "menggoyangkan sistem yang kemudian membolehkannya meletus." Menurut , earthquakes can sometimes trigger volcanic eruptions: “A few large regional earthquakes (greater than magnitude 6) are considered to be related to a subsequent eruption or to some type of unrest at a nearby volcano.” According to the USGS, “volcanoes can only be triggered into eruption by nearby tectonic earthquakes if they are already poised to erupt.” If there is already enough eruptible magma within the volcanic system and significant pressure within the magma storage region, large tectonic earthquakes might cause dissolved gases to come out of the magma, increasing the pressure and causing an eruption, the agency says, likening the effect to “a shaken soda bottle.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump Arahkan Schumer untuk ‘Pergi Jahanam’ ketika Rundingan Dwipartisan Gagal

(SeaPRwire) - Selepas berjam-jam perbincangan mengenai calon-calon yang tergendala, ketegangan antara Demokrat Senat dan White House mencapai titik didih pada petang Sabtu. Dalam pertengkaran yang melimpah ke media sosial, Presiden berkata bahawa Ketua Minoriti Senat boleh “pergi jahanam.” Dalam satu hantaran di Truth Social, Trump mengarahkan Republikan untuk tidak membuat perjanjian dengan Demokrat, yang didakwa membuat tuntutan "keterlaluan dan belum pernah terjadi sebelumnya" untuk "meluluskan sebilangan kecil calon kami yang sangat berkelayakan." “Beritahu Schumer, yang berada di bawah tekanan politik yang sangat besar dari dalam partinya sendiri, golongan gila sayap kiri radikal, untuk pergi jahanam,” kata . “Jangan terima tawaran itu, pulang dan jelaskan kepada pengundi anda betapa buruknya orang Demokrat, dan betapa hebatnya kerja yang dilakukan oleh Republikan, dan telah dilakukan, untuk negara kita.” Kebuntuan ini sangat ketara kerana Senat kini telah memulakan cuti bulan Ogos selama sebulan. Demokrat sebahagian besarnya menafikan undian persetujuan sebulat suara pantas mengenai calon Trump, sebaliknya memilih panggilan roll. Berucap kepada , Schumer berkata: “Calon yang teruk dari segi sejarah wajar mendapat tahap penelitian yang bersejarah. Kami tidak pernah melihat calon yang cacat, berkompromi, tidak berkelayakan seperti Trump.” Schumer juga menyentuh mengenai ulasan media sosial Trump, di mana Presiden mengarahkan Republikan untuk "pulang" dan menyeru Schumer untuk "pergi jahanam." “Donald Trump cuba untuk mempercepatkan Senat untuk meletakkan calonnya yang tidak berkelayakan dari segi sejarah, tetapi Demokrat Senat tidak akan membenarkannya,” kata . “Dalam keadaan marah, Trump melemparkan tuala, menghantar Republikan pulang, dan tidak dapat melakukan kerja asas rundingan. Adakah ini '’?” “Trump cuba membuli kami, mengelilingi kami, mengancam kami, memanggil kami dengan nama-nama, tetapi dia tidak mendapat apa-apa. Dia beredar dengan ekornya di antara kakinya.” Kurangnya kemajuan menjelang cuti Ogos berlaku selepas Ketua Majoriti Senat John Thune pada hari Khamis memutuskan "untuk memperlahankan setiap pencalonan awam tunggal daripada Presiden." Thune berkata bahawa dalam sejarah baru-baru ini, Presiden mempunyai majoriti calon mereka yang diluluskan dengan persetujuan sebulat suara atau undian suara, tetapi "sifar" calon awam Trump telah disahkan dengan cara itu oleh Demokrat dalam Kongres ini. Thune berikrar bahawa Republikan akan "mencari jalan untuk mengubahnya" jika tidak ada kemajuan ke hadapan. Sejurus sebelum Trump menamatkan rundingan pada hari Sabtu, beberapa Senator GOP menyuarakan idea untuk cara alternatif untuk memajukan calon Trump. Senator Roger Marshall dari Kansas berkata: "Senat harus segera menangguhkan dan membiarkan Presiden Trump menggunakan pelantikan cuti untuk melaksanakan agenda yang diundi oleh 77 juta rakyat Amerika." Pelantikan cuti merujuk kepada apabila Presiden boleh "membuat pelantikan sementara apabila Senat tidak bersidang," kata . Ia membolehkan Presiden melantik calon pilihan mereka tanpa pengesahan Senat. Sejurus selepas pemilihannya pada bulan November, Trump bersuara memihak kepada pelantikan cuti. “Mana-mana Senator Republikan yang mencari jawatan kepimpinan yang diidamkan di United States Senate mesti bersetuju dengan pelantikan cuti (di Senat), tanpa itu kita tidak akan dapat mendapatkan orang yang disahkan tepat pada masanya,” katanya . Kemudian pada bulan yang sama, Thune berkata bahawa "" akan kekal di atas meja untuk membantu kemajuan pilihan Trump. Terdapat juga laporan bahawa Senator GOP boleh, pada satu ketika, berusaha untuk mengubah peraturan Senat untuk mengesahkan lebih ramai calon Trump. Di tengah-tengah perbincangan mengenai perkara ini lebih awal dalam minggu itu, Senator Alex Padilla dari California, seorang Demokrat dan ahli ranking Jawatankuasa Peraturan dan Pentadbiran Senat, menggesa agar berhati-hati. "Kita boleh dan harus mengadakan perbualan bipartisan yang bernas dalam Jawatankuasa Peraturan mengenai mengemas kini proses pengesahan untuk masa depan, tetapi Republikan harus ingat bahawa jika mereka memilih untuk pergi nuklear—sekali lagi—ia akan mempunyai akibat yang jauh melangkaui jawatan presiden Donald Trump," kata Padilla.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Concord New Energy Group (“CNE” or "the Group", Stock Code: 0182.HK), announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June, 2025 (the "Period"). In the first half of 2025, the Group's newly built power plants were successively commissioned, and financing costs were further reduced. However, facing the dual challenges of worsening curtailment in certain regions of China and a decline in comprehensive electricity prices, the Group's core business came under pressure, resulting in a decrease in both revenue and profit. In response, the Group promptly adjusted its development strategy in light of the changing environment. With the goal of enhancing profit certainty, we adjusted our business strategies to prioritize quality. Guided by the principles of improving efficiency and creating value, the Group focused on enhancing the profitability of its power plants, strengthening its power trading capabilities.During the period, the Group achieved the continuing operations revenue of RMB1.4 billion, representing a year-on-year drop of 6.6%. Profit attributable to equity holders of the Group amounted to RMB282 million, with a net profit margin of 20%. Basic earnings per share was RMB3.58 cents.

The Group secured 600 MW of new wind investment projects (listed in annual construction plans) in China, and 152.5 MW of solar projects and 300 MW of energy storage projects outside China. Additionally, during the development of power plant projects, the Group created multi-dimensional synergies with its professional service businesses, including power plant O&M, design, consulting and power trading. The contract value of newly signed external agreements for power plant O&M, design and consulting grew significantly.During the period, the Group successfully achieved the on-schedule grid connection of multiple projects through meticulous planning and organization. In the first half of 2025, the Group's newly commissioned projects added an attributable capacity of 191 MW, including 140 MW of wind and 51 MW of solar power.

The attributable installed capacity of the Group’s subsidy-free power plants has reached 3,380 MW, accounting for 70.7% of the Group’s total attributable installed capacity.In the first half of 2025, affected by adverse factors such as unfavorable wind resources, increased curtailment at some power plants and a decrease in the comprehensive electricity price, the Group's power generation revenue declined by 2.1%, accompanied by a decrease in net profit from power generation. During the period, the Group's attributable power generation remained stable compared to the same period last year, reaching 4,759GWh. The Group's weighted average utilization hours for wind farms were 1,142 hours, and for solar PV power plants, they were 531 hours. Additionally, the Group strengthened green electricity trading and green certificate sales, with green electricity transaction volume increasing by 26% year-on-year, effectively offsetting the adverse impact of the overall decline in electricity prices.Meanwhile, the Group concentrated on refined and professional management, reduced financing costs continuously and improved the efficiency of power plants.

Naoris Protocol Stakes $120,000 Bounty To Break Cryptography Securing $470 Trillion Global Economy

Wilmington, DE, August 1, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Naoris Protocol, the post-quantum infrastructure pioneer, today announced a $120,000 (1BTC at time of announcement) bounty program challenging cryptographers worldwide to break the elliptic curve algorithms that currently secure the global digital economy, from Bitcoin's $2.4 trillion market to the $410 trillion banking system.The challenge highlights an urgent reality: while these cryptographic foundations remain unbreakable today, quantum computers will inevitably crack them within 10-20 years, potentially triggering the largest financial crisis in history.The Bounty Structure$50,000 for breaking secp256k1 (Bitcoin and Ethereum)$30,000 for breaking Ed25519 (Signal, WhatsApp, Solana)$20,000 for breaking NIST P-256 (TLS/SSL, Internet security)$10,000 for other major curves (P-224, P-384, P-521)"This isn't about attacking cryptocurrency, it's about defending it," said David Carvalho, CEO of Naoris Protocol. "These curves are mathematical masterpieces that have protected global commerce for decades. But quantum computing will render them obsolete. We're building the quantum-safe infrastructure the world needs before that day arrives."What's at StakeThe elliptic curve cryptography targeted by this bounty currently protects:$410 trillion in global banking assets$145 trillion in assets under management$57 trillion in intellectual property$2.4 trillion in cryptocurrencyGovernment communications and defense systemsEvery secure internet transactionThe ChallengeParticipants must demonstrate the ability to recover a full private key from a public key using mathematical cryptanalysis.

[July 17, 2025]The MoU signing was held at the Australia Pavilion in the presence of the Hon. Ros Bates MP, Queensland Minister for Finance, Trade, Employment and Training, as part of the Queensland Government's flagship international trade mission to Japan."Stralis is a great example of how Queensland businesses can lead the world in clean aviation technology. We’re backing them in order to scale, export and grow jobs," Minister Bates said. "It's not just an MoU — it's a runway for clean technology, innovation, and workforce development between Queensland and Japan."Under the agreement, Stralis will test its hydrogen-electric propulsion components at one of Japan's most advanced electric aircraft testbeds, operated by the Joint Research Centre for Electric Architecture in Akita's state-of-the-art all-electric aircraft testbed.The deal will also support new training and skills pathways for future aviation engineers and technicians, backed by industry and academic partnerships.Stralis' proprietary hydrogen-electric system is six times lighter than existing fuel cell solutions, enabling hydrogen aircraft to fly ten times further than battery-electric alternatives, at half the cost of fossil fuel-powered planes.The signing took place during a dedicated International Education, Research and Innovation Showcase hosted by Minister Bates at the Australia Pavilion, with Queensland as a Gold Partner of EXPO 2025."I'm extremely excited to begin our collaboration with this world class team and facility in Akita," said Bob Criner, Co-Founder and CEO of Stralis Aircraft."Japan has been a global leader in aerospace and hydrogen innovation for decades. This partnership will accelerate our hydrogen aircraft technology development and facilitate skills and knowledge exchange between our organisations."It will also allow Stralis to create cutting-edge research and innovation jobs in Queensland, where our workforce is prepared to manufacture and export advanced aircraft technology in the future.""We are pleased to sign this MoU with Stralis," said Junichi Sakaki, Director, Joint Research Center for Electric Architecture, Akita University / Akita Prefectural University."This collaboration in aircraft system electrification, using our testing facilities in Akita, represents a meaningful step in international technological cooperation. We look forward to contributing to both talent development and a more sustainable future."Supported by Trade and Investment Queensland (TIQ) Japan, Strali has been in high-level discussions with Japanese aerospace firms aligned with Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and its 2035 target to commercialise decarbonised passenger aircraft.Stralis is also planning to fly its Bonanza A36 hydrogen-electric demonstration aircraft in Japan in late 2026, showcasing the commercial and environmental viability of its technology.This agreement adds momentum to Queensland's broader trade mission in Japan, which is focused on expanding partnerships in International Education, Research and Innovation, advanced manufacturing, and the Queensland–Japan Trade and Investment Strategy 2025-2028, released this July, which places innovation-led collaboration at the core of the Queensland–Japan relationship.Contact:Minister Bates' Media Contact: Illka Gobius, Pinpont PR, illka@pinpointpr.sk Stralis Media Contact: https://stralis.aeroDr Emma Whittlesea, Stralis, Head of Partnerships, ew@stralis.aeroBob Criner, Co-Founder & CEO, Stralis Aircraft, bc@stralis.aero Copyright 2025 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
