Lelaki Wisconsin Mengakui Memalsukan Kematiannya dan Meninggalkan Keluarganya ke Eropah

(SeaPRwire) - GREEN LAKE, Wis. — Seorang lelaki Wisconsin yang telah memalsukan kematiannya sendiri akibat lemas pada musim panas ini supaya dia dapat meninggalkan isteri dan tiga anaknya telah berkomunikasi dengan pihak berkuasa setiap hari dari Eropah Timur, malah memberitahu mereka bagaimana dia melakukannya, tetapi belum bersetuju untuk pulang ke rumah, kata seorang sheriff pada hari Khamis. Ryan Borgwardt telah bercakap dengan pihak berkuasa sejak 11 November setelah hilang selama tiga bulan, kata Sheriff Green Lake County Mark Podoll di sidang akhbar. Sheriff kemudian menunjukkan video yang telah dihantar oleh Borgwardt kepada pejabat sheriff pada hari itu. “Berita baiknya ialah kita tahu bahawa dia masih hidup dan sihat,” kata Podoll. “Berita buruknya ialah kita tidak tahu di mana Ryan berada, dan dia belum memutuskan untuk pulang ke rumah.” Borgwardt, memakai kemeja-T oren dan tidak tersenyum, memandang terus ke kamera dalam video itu, yang nampaknya telah diambil menggunakan telefon bimbitnya. Borgwardt berkata dia berada di apartmennya dan sebentar mengalih kamera tetapi kebanyakannya hanya menunjukkan pintu dan dinding kosong. “Saya selamat dan terjamin, tiada masalah,” kata Borgwardt. “Saya harap ini berjaya.” Borgwardt memberitahu pihak berkuasa bahawa dia melarikan diri kerana “hal peribadi,” kata sheriff itu. Podoll tidak menjelaskan lanjut. “Dia hanya akan cuba memperbaiki keadaan dalam fikirannya, dan inilah caranya,” kata Podoll. Borgwardt memberitahu pihak berkuasa bahawa dia telah pergi sejauh kira-kira 50 batu (80 kilometer) dari rumahnya di Watertown ke Green Lake, di mana dia telah menenggelamkan kayaknya, membuang telefonnya ke dalam tasik dan kemudian mendayung sebuah bot tiup ke pantai. Dia memberitahu pihak berkuasa bahawa dia memilih tasik itu kerana ia adalah tasik terdalam di Wisconsin pada kedalaman 237 kaki (lebih daripada 72 meter). Setelah meninggalkan tasik itu, dia menaiki basikal elektrik sejauh kira-kira 70 batu (110 kilometer) sepanjang malam ke Madison, kata sheriff itu. Dari situ, dia menaiki bas ke Detroit, kemudian menaiki bas ke Kanada dan menaiki kapal terbang di sana, kata sheriff itu. Pihak polis masih mengesahkan keterangan Borgwardt tentang apa yang berlaku, kata Podoll. Sheriff mencadangkan Borgwardt boleh didakwa kerana menghalang siasatan terhadap kehilangannya, tetapi setakat ini tiada pertuduhan difailkan. Pejabat sheriff berkata pencarian mayat Borgwardt, yang berlangsung lebih daripada sebulan, menelan belanja sekurang-kurangnya $35,000. Podoll berkata Borgwardt memberitahu pihak berkuasa bahawa dia tidak menjangkakan pencarian itu akan berlangsung lebih daripada dua minggu. Sama ada Borgwardt akan pulang bergantung kepada “kehendak bebasnya,” kata Podoll. Kebimbangan terbesar Borgwardt tentang kepulangannya ialah bagaimana masyarakat akan bertindak balas, kata sheriff itu. “Dia fikir rancangannya akan berhasil, tetapi ia tidak berjalan seperti yang dirancang,” kata sheriff itu. “Dan sekarang kita cuba memberikannya rancangan yang berbeza untuk kembali.” Sheriff berkata pihak berkuasa “terus menarik perhatiannya” untuk pulang ke rumah. “Krismas semakin hampir,” kata Podoll. “Dan apakah hadiah yang lebih baik yang boleh diterima oleh anak-anak anda selain daripada kehadiran anda pada Krismas?” Kehilangan Borgwardt mula disiasat sebagai kemungkinan lemas selepas dia pergi berkayak di Green Lake, kira-kira 100 batu (160 kilometer) barat laut Milwaukee, pada bulan Ogos. Tetapi petunjuk seterusnya—termasuk bahawa dia telah mendapatkan pasport baharu tiga bulan sebelum dia hilang—mendorong penyiasat untuk membuat spekulasi bahawa dia telah memalsukan kematiannya untuk bertemu dengan seorang wanita yang telah dihubunginya di Uzbekistan, sebuah bekas republik Soviet di Asia Tengah. Sheriff enggan mengulas apabila ditanya apa yang dia ketahui tentang wanita itu, tetapi dia berkata polis telah menghubungi Borgwardt “melalui seorang wanita yang bertutur dalam bahasa Rusia.” Sebelum pejabat sheriff bercakap dengan Borgwardt minggu lepas, dia tidak dihubungi sejak malam 11 Ogos apabila dia menghantar mesej kepada isterinya di Watertown sejurus sebelum pukul 11 malam, dengan mengatakan bahawa dia dalam perjalanan ke pantai selepas berkayak. Timbalan sheriff telah menemui kenderaannya dan trelernya berhampiran tasik itu. Mereka juga menemui kayaknya yang terbalik dengan jaket keselamatan yang diikat padanya di kawasan di mana air tasik itu sedalam lebih daripada 200 kaki (60 meter). Pencarian mayatnya berlangsung selama lebih daripada 50 hari, dengan penyelam beberapa kali meneroka tasik itu. Pada awal Oktober, jabatan sheriff mengetahui bahawa pihak berkuasa penguat kuasa undang-undang Kanada telah menjalankan nama Borgwardt melalui pangkalan data mereka sehari selepas dia dilaporkan hilang. Siasatan lanjut mendedahkan bahawa dia telah melaporkan pasportnya hilang atau dicuri dan telah mendapatkan pasport baharu pada bulan Mei. Pejabat sheriff berkata analisis komputer riba mendedahkan jejak digital yang menunjukkan Borgwardt merancang untuk pergi ke Eropah dan cuba mengelirukan penyiasat. Pemacu keras komputer riba itu telah diganti dan pelayar telah dibersihkan pada hari Borgwardt hilang, kata pejabat sheriff. Penyiasat menemui foto pasport, pertanyaan tentang pemindahan wang ke bank asing, dan komunikasi dengan seorang wanita dari Uzbekistan. Mereka juga mendapati bahawa dia telah mengambil polisi insurans hayat bernilai $375,000 pada bulan Januari, walaupun polisi itu adalah untuk keluarganya dan bukan untuk dirinya, kata sheriff itu. Pihak berkuasa mencuba setiap nombor telefon dan alamat e-mel di komputer riba itu dengan “cara yang pantas,” kata Podoll. Mereka akhirnya menghubungi wanita yang bertutur dalam bahasa Rusia itu, yang menghubungkan mereka dengan Borgwardt. Tidak jelas sama ada dia adalah wanita di Uzbekistan. Podoll berkata dia tidak pasti bagaimana Borgwardt menyara hidupnya tetapi membuat spekulasi bahawa dia mempunyai pekerjaan: “Dia seorang yang pintar.” —Penulis Associated Press Scott Bauer di Madison menyumbang kepada laporan ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Awas! Ekstremis Kiri dan Kanan Amerika Syarikat Bersatu berita

Awas! Ekstremis Kiri dan Kanan Amerika Syarikat Bersatu

(SeaPRwire) - Berita minggu ini mengenai usaha Pentadbiran Biden untuk memaksa Alphabet melepaskan asetnya selari dengan sentimen anti-syarikat besar yang dikongsi di sebahagian besar pihak kanan Republikan. Serangan terhadap tonggak-tonggak Amerika yang terkenal di dunia, termasuk teknologi, industri makanan, farmaseutikal, perkhidmatan kewangan, dan pendidikan tinggi – semua yang menjadi idaman seluruh dunia – menunjukkan kemarahan yang kini menyatukan pihak-pihak politik yang berlawanan di Amerika. Pengikut MAGA dan "progresif" yang menggelar diri mereka hari ini berpegang pada tradisi bersama-sama populisme agraria awal abad ke-20 seperti ahli politik penerbit Tom Watson di pihak kanan dan penganjur kesatuan populisme bandar Eugene V. Debs di pihak kiri. Walaupun perpecahan partisan yang jelas di negara ini yang didedahkan oleh kemenangan tipis Trump, yang bagaimanapun menyapu beliau ke jawatan dengan kemenangan kolej pilihan raya dan undi popular yang menentukan, kita menyaksikan ikatan yang muncul antara ekstrem politik. Malah, saya sering bercakap dengan Donald Trump pada tahun 2015 ketika beliau merancang pencalonannya yang pertama, dan beliau mengaku kepada saya bahawa beliau mempertimbangkan untuk pergi ke kiri Bernie Sanders untuk memanfaatkan kemarahan negara. Sudah tentu, ia tidak mengejutkan apabila peminat MAGA, Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) menyokong pilihan Trump terhadap RFK Jr. sebagai Setiausaha Kesihatan & Perkhidmatan Manusia, dengan menyatakan bahawa "Beliau tidak boleh lebih gembira dengan pilihan itu" walaupun RFK Jr. menegaskan bahawa menentukan jantina seseorang dan bahawa vaksin menyebabkan autisme. Apa yang mengejutkan ialah minggu lepas apabila Gabenor Colorado Demokrat Jared Polis menyatakan bahawa beliau menyokong calon HHS anti-sains Trump, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. memandangkan perspektif anti-korporat yang dikongsi yang mencurigakan terhadap vaksin, ubat penurunan berat badan, dan produk ajaib lain daripada syarikat farmaseutikal AS yang terkemuka. Senator Demokrat menyatakan beliau berkongsi banyak dakwaan RFK Jr. mengenai "syarikat-syarikat memberi kita produk yang tidak sihat" sambil membanjiri kita dengan "bahan kimia berbahaya." Begitu juga, calon peguam negara yang kini ditarik balik, panglima medan MAGA Matt Gaetz telah dipertahankan oleh api Demokrat ketika beliau sebelum ini berdepan kemungkinan dipecat daripada Kongres. Bekas Ahli Kongres Tulsi Gabbard, antagonis "negara dalam" dan bekas calon utama presiden Demokrat "progresif", telah dicalonkan untuk menjadi Pengarah Perisikan Negara. Senator GOP Mitt Romney dan bekas Setiausaha Negara Demokrat Hillary Clinton telah melabel beliau sebagai aset Rusia. Tetapi Senator progresif yang menjadi tumpuan, Bernie Sanders, bergegas untuk mempertahankan beliau dengan berkata, "telah mempertaruhkan nyawanya untuk mempertahankan negara ini. Orang ramai boleh tidak bersetuju mengenai isu-isu, tetapi adalah keterlaluan bagi sesiapa sahaja untuk mencadangkan bahawa Tulsi adalah aset asing." Hujung minggu lalu Bernie Sanders menyerang Demokrat kerana menolak podkaster libertarian yang sangat popular, , Joe Rogan, seorang penyokong Trump, yang sebenarnya Secara langsung selari dengan sinisme sedemikian, berita minggu ini mengenai dasar antimonopoli Biden yang cenderung ke kiri dilihat oleh ramai pemimpin perniagaan sebagai serangan terhadap daya saing global AS dengan syarikat-syarikat seperti Microsoft dan Apple merasai kesannya, sementara yang lain melihatnya sebagai membuka pintu kepada perusahaan baru. Ketua antimonopoli Jabatan Kehakiman, Jonathan Kantor, pengasingan paksa Google Chrome yang berpotensi, yang mengawal carian dalam talian, akan menjejaskan pintu masuk ke portfolio perkhidmatan Alphabet seperti Gemini, chatbot AI yang menjanjikan. Kedua-dua dan , yang akan dicalonkan sebagai pengerusi Suruhanjaya Komunikasi Persekutuan, telah menegaskan akan mengenakan tindakan terhadap gergasi teknologi. Penguatkuasaan antimonopoli yang teruk yang berkaitan, oleh Pengerusi FTC Lina Khan, menjadi sasaran AS yang memujuk Naib Presiden Kamala Harris untuk mengekang retorik anti-perniagaan yang dianggap sedemikian. Ironinya, J.D. Vance memuji langkah antimonopoli Biden tahun ini. Vance berkata: "Ramai rakan sekerja Republikan saya melihat Lina Khan, dan mereka berkata, 'Lina Khan terlibat dalam sesuatu yang jahat.' Dan saya melihat Lina Khan sebagai salah seorang daripada beberapa orang dalam Pentadbiran Biden yang saya fikir melakukan pekerjaan yang agak baik.” Vance tahun ini bekerjasama dengan rakan sekerja progresif termasuk untuk "Akta Menghentikan Subsidi Penggabungan Gergasi" untuk usaha-usaha untuk . Pemimpin politik dan wartawan mesti mengakui sejarah panjang kemarahan populisme yang tertanam dalam masyarakat Amerika. Sebahagiannya berakar umbi dalam pertempuran identiti kelas yang membenci institusi elit dan jurang pendapatan yang membawa kepada perasaan ketidakadilan yang meluas. Sebahagiannya berakar umbi dalam ketakutan terhadap perubahan teknologi, seperti Luddite pada awal tahun 1800-an, pekerja Inggeris yang memusnahkan mesin sebagai pemberontakan terhadap perindustrian. Sebahagiannya berakar umbi dalam ketakutan terhadap perubahan demografi dalam gabungan kaum, etnik, dan agama negara. Dan sebahagiannya adalah rasa tidak puas hati budaya yang dilabel oleh ahli sejarah pada tahun 1966 sebagai tradisi "anti-intelek" dalam kehidupan Amerika. Tidak kira kesahihan sumber kemarahan populisme ini, ia adalah nyata, dan ia mendalam, tidak ditakrifkan oleh parti politik apatah lagi bahasa ideologi sayap kiri atau sayap kanan—walaupun usaha pengulas untuk berbuat demikian. Kita mesti tahu bahawa ia agak mudah terbakar, mudah dicetuskan oleh demagogi karismatik serta kejutan global dan domestik yang menakutkan.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana TIME dan Statista Menentukan Syarikat dan Kolej Terbaik untuk Pemimpin Masa Depan bagi Tahun 2025 berita

Bagaimana TIME dan Statista Menentukan Syarikat dan Kolej Terbaik untuk Pemimpin Masa Depan bagi Tahun 2025

(SeaPRwire) - Projek “Syarikat dan Kolej Terbaik untuk Pemimpin Masa Depan” bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti organisasi di Amerika Syarikat yang cemerlang dalam memupuk pemimpin yang sangat berpengaruh. Projek ini meneroka soalan-soalan seperti: “Di manakah pemimpin terkemuka Amerika Syarikat biasanya mendapat pendidikan?” dan “Syarikat manakah yang sering bertindak sebagai batu loncatan utama dan platform pembangunan untuk pemimpin Amerika Syarikat yang naik ke jawatan tinggi?” Penarafan ini menawarkan pandangan tentang organisasi yang menyumbang secara signifikan kepada trajektori kerjaya pemimpin tersebut. Metodologi Metodologi ini melibatkan analisis sampel pelbagai daripada 4,000 pemimpin paling berpengaruh daripada pelbagai bidang dalam masyarakat Amerika Syarikat. Pemimpin ini merangkumi pelbagai industri dan bidang, membawa pengalaman dan kepakaran yang pelbagai kepada peranan mereka. Resume semua pemimpin telah disusun dengan teliti, mendokumentasikan semua maklumat yang boleh didapati secara umum tentang pengalaman pendidikan dan profesional mereka. Sumber penyelidikan termasuk laman web peribadi, dokumen CV/resume, bio korporat, halaman media sosial, dan artikel berita. Kriteria pemilihan untuk pemimpin dalam sampel memberi tumpuan kepada peranan semasa mereka, menekankan laluan yang mereka lalui untuk mencapai jawatan yang sangat berpengaruh ini. Atas sebab ini, jawatan semasa telah dikeluarkan daripada pertimbangan, yang bermaksud data tersebut hanya memberi tumpuan kepada peranan yang membawa pemimpin ke jawatan semasa mereka. Hanya syarikat dengan kehadiran yang signifikan di Amerika Syarikat sahaja yang dipertimbangkan, selaras dengan skop geografi projek. Kriteria kehadiran Amerika Syarikat ini hanya digunakan pada peringkat jawatan, supaya pemimpin yang dilahirkan, mendapat pendidikan, atau mempunyai pengalaman kerja di luar Amerika Syarikat masih memainkan peranan dalam penilaian, tetapi hanya dalam pengalaman yang mempunyai kehadiran di Amerika Syarikat. Peranan lembaga dan penasihat, serta ijazah dan jawatan kehormat, telah dikecualikan daripada pertimbangan, kerana ini sering mengiktiraf kejayaan sedia ada daripada menyumbang kepada pembangunan kerjaya. Kira-kira 16,000 peristiwa kerjaya individu (stasiun CV) telah dikumpulkan untuk sampel tersebut. Sumber termasuk biografi korporat, laman web peribadi, CV rasmi, dan profil media sosial. Data ini merangkumi butiran seperti nama organisasi, jawatan, tarikh mula dan tamat. Organisasi telah dikelompokkan di bawah jenama induk semasa mereka, mengambil kira pengambilalihan, pemisahan, penjenamaan semula, dan sebagainya. Contohnya, entiti yang diambil alih yang masih beroperasi di bawah syarikat induk telah dimasukkan di bawah jenama yang terakhir. Selepas menyusun dan membersihkan data, jumlah pekerja syarikat dan angka pendaftaran universiti telah dikumpulkan. Nombor pendaftaran dan jumlah pekerja ini telah diambil kira dalam indeks kepimpinan, mengimbangi pengaruh saiz organisasi, untuk memastikan bahawa organisasi dari semua saiz boleh diiktiraf kerana kecemerlangan dalam pembangunan kepimpinan. Stesen CV telah dikategorikan kepada ‘pendidikan’ dan ‘profesional’, masing-masing merangkumi ijazah dan peranan profesional. Penarafan akhir termasuk dua senarai: “Kolej Terbaik untuk Pemimpin Masa Depan” dan “Syarikat Terbaik untuk Pemimpin Masa Depan,” yang diperoleh daripada indeks kepimpinan. Penarafan ini mempamerkan organisasi yang cemerlang dalam memupuk pemimpin masa depan, berdasarkan analisis yang komprehensif dan sistematik.

Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa Keluarkan Waran Tangkap terhadap Netanyahu dan Pegawai Hamas

Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa Keluarkan Waran Tangkap terhadap Netanyahu dan Pegawai Hamas “`

(SeaPRwire) - THE HAGUE — Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa telah mengeluarkan waran tangkap pada hari Khamis untuk Perdana Menteri Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, bekas menteri pertahanannya dan pegawai Hamas, menuduh mereka melakukan jenayah perang dan jenayah terhadap kemanusiaan berhubung perang di Gaza dan serangan Oktober 2023 yang mencetuskan serangan Israel di wilayah Palestin. Keputusan ini menjadikan Netanyahu dan yang lain sebagai suspek yang dikehendaki di peringkat antarabangsa dan kemungkinan akan mengasingkan mereka lebih jauh dan menyukarkan usaha untuk merundingi gencatan senjata bagi menamatkan konflik selama 13 bulan ini. Namun implikasinya yang praktikal mungkin terhad memandangkan Israel dan sekutunya yang utama, Amerika Syarikat, bukanlah ahli mahkamah dan beberapa pegawai Hamas telah terkorban dalam konflik tersebut. Netanyahu dan pemimpin Israel yang lain telah mengecam permintaan waran daripada Ketua Pendakwa Raya ICC, Karim Khan, sebagai memalukan dan anti-Semitik. Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Joe Biden juga mengecam pendakwa raya itu dan menyatakan sokongan terhadap hak Israel untuk mempertahankan diri daripada Hamas. Hamas juga mengecam permintaan tersebut. “Panel itu berpendapat bahawa terdapat alasan munasabah untuk percaya bahawa kedua-dua individu itu secara sengaja dan sedar menafikan penduduk awam di Gaza daripada objek yang penting untuk kelangsungan hidup mereka, termasuk makanan, air, dan ubat-ubatan serta bekalan perubatan, serta bahan api dan elektrik,” tulis panel tiga hakim dalam keputusan sebulat suara mereka untuk mengeluarkan waran untuk Netanyahu dan bekas menteri pertahanannya, Yoav Gallant. Kementerian Luar Negeri Israel menyatakan pada bulan September bahawa ia telah mengemukakan dua hujahan undang-undang yang mencabar bidang kuasa ICC dan berhujah bahawa mahkamah itu tidak memberi peluang kepada Israel untuk menyiasat dakwaan itu sendiri sebelum meminta waran tersebut. “Tiada demokrasi lain dengan sistem undang-undang yang bebas dan dihormati seperti yang wujud di Israel telah dilayan dengan cara yang berat sebelah ini oleh Pendakwa Raya,” tulis jurucakap Kementerian Luar Negeri, Oren Marmorstein, di X. Beliau berkata Israel tetap “teguh dalam komitmennya terhadap kedaulatan undang-undang dan keadilan” dan akan terus melindungi rakyatnya daripada militansi. ICC ialah mahkamah sebagai tempat pertimbangan terakhir yang hanya mendakwa kes-kes apabila pihak berkuasa penguat kuasa domestik tidak dapat atau tidak mahu menyiasat. Israel bukan negara anggota mahkamah. Negara itu telah bergelut untuk menyiasat sendiri pada masa lalu, kata kumpulan hak asasi manusia. Walaupun terdapat waran tersebut, tiada seorang pun daripada suspek itu kemungkinan akan berhadapan dengan hakim di The Hague dalam masa terdekat. Mahkamah itu sendiri tidak mempunyai polis untuk menguatkuasakan waran, sebaliknya bergantung kepada kerjasama daripada negara anggotanya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

First Quarterly Profit, High-Quality Platform Growth, NaaS Technology Accelerates Ecosystem Development

HONG KONG, Nov 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On November 20, NaaS Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: NAAS), the first U.S.-listed EV charging service company in China, released its Q3 2024 earnings report, showcasing an impressive performance.According to the announcement, the company's core strategy—its charging service business—has shown strong growth, contributing RMB 42.37 million in revenue, a 36% year-over-year increase, accounting for 95% of total revenue. This highlights the success of the company’s strategic focus, which also resulted in a significant increase in gross profit margin. In Q3 2024, the gross profit margin reached a record-high 57%, up from 38% in the previous quarter. Notably, the company achieved a critical milestone this quarter by recording its first-ever positive net profit. Non-IFRS net profit attributable to ordinary shareholders was RMB 21.2 million (US$ 3.0 million) for the third quarter, signaling a successful transition to the "high-quality development" phase, focusing on profitability and marking a significant improvement in the company’s earning capabilities.Strategic Focus on Charging Services, Strengthening the Role as an Industry ConnectorNaaS's strong profitability this quarter is closely tied to its strategic decision to focus on its charging services business, which is a platform business in nature.As a leader in third-party electric vehicle (EV) charging services, NaaS does not directly operate charging stations. Instead, it leverages its robust connectivity, operational, and intelligent digital capabilities to act as an "industry connector." Positioned as a platform linking supply and demand in the EV charging industry, NaaS avoids the low-profit, high-capital-intensive energy solutions segment and emphasizes the distinct platform characteristics of its charging service business.NaaS’s charging service business is supported by its strategic partnership with the Kuaidian APP, which serves as a traffic portal to provide interconnection services for various charging operators. The partnership expands NaaS’s user outreach while also improving EV charging stations’ utilization and operational efficiency, by drawing to them more customer traffic . For EV owners, the service enables quick searches for nearby charging stations, including real-time status updates, improving charging efficiency and optimizing the user experience.NaaS’s platform-driven charging services integrate various industry participants, enhance ecosystem construction on both the supply and demand sides, improve industry efficiency, and align the charging sector with the rapid growth of China's EV industry.This platform business requires substantial early-stage investment, including subsidies, to cultivate market habits and expand network coverage. With the rapidly evolving EV sector, characterized by technological innovation and shifting market dynamics, initial investments may be amplified. However, as the platform grows and user loyalty strengthens, the industry shifts from chaotic expansion to refined operations, with NaaS gradually realizing economies of scale and achieving profitability at scale.According to the latest financial report, NaaS is actively aligning with industry development trends by optimizing its internal processes and improving efficiency, thereby enhancing profitability. Driven by the dual forces of market demand and user growth, NaaS is gradually entering a harvest phase.The financial report shows that in Q3 2024, the company’s charging service business achieved steady growth in both GTR (Gross Take Rate) and NTR (Net Take Rate), with the proportion of profitable orders rising to 73%. The total charging volume transacted through the NaaS network reached 1.284 billion kWh, a 13% increase quarter-over-quarter. These factors collectively fueled the growth of NaaS’s charging service business and are the primary reasons behind the company achieving its first-ever quarterly non-IFRS net profit.Moving Beyond Subsidy Dependence, Achieving Organic Platform GrowthIn addition to its impressive profitability, NaaS’s charging service business has also demonstrated significant high-quality growth in scale. As the market matures, NaaS’s business shows clear scale advantages that continue to expand.Recognizing industry trends and aligning with internal capabilities, NaaS began reducing user subsidies in early 2024, transitioning from subsidy-driven growth to organic growth by expanding user acquisition channels and deepening partnerships. This shift not only allowed the company to focus on the core value of its charging services—promoting intrinsic growth through improved products and services—but also supported the development of a more stable and sustainable revenue model, strengthening its competitive moat.This shift is reflected in the financial data. Optimized subsidy policies contributed to an 81% year-over-year decrease in selling and marketing expenses to RMB 29.7 million (US$ 4.2 million) for this quarter. Despite reduced subsidies, NaaS’s platform achieved strong growth in transaction users in Q3.Besides, latest data also show the number of connected charging stations increased by 40% year-over-year to 96,000, and the total number of connected chargers rose by 49% year-over-year to 1.146 million, outpacing the industry’s average growth rate during the same period. Significant cut in expenses does not compromise the company’s continuous growth.AI-Driven Business Growth, Building an Industry EcosystemSince the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, the industry has been exploring how AI can empower various sectors, with the trend moving from general AI models to domain-specific applications—charging is no exception.AI can process and analyze vast datasets, including user needs, market trends, and historical transaction data, to accurately forecast supply-demand dynamics and provide personalized recommendations based on user behavior. This can significantly enhance supply-demand matching efficiency and accuracy, addressing key challenges such as inefficient matching and insufficient high-quality supply in the current charging industry.NaaS was an early adopter of AI and has demonstrated foresight in leveraging it to advance the charging industry.As early as 2016, NaaS began developing AI algorithms to improve transportation energy supply-demand matching, operational efficiency, and intelligent energy replenishment experiences. In 2023, the company launched its NEF (NaaS Energy Fintech) system based on advanced AI algorithms. This system manages station site selection, revenue evaluation, operational scheduling, maintenance, and more, enhancing the operational efficiency and financial sustainability of regional charging operators while improving the user experience.The scale of data often determines the intelligence level of AI algorithms. With its charging station network, NaaS has accumulated significant supply-demand data, providing an extensive stage for AI applications. In Q3, NaaS officially joined the AI Applications Alliance and is poised to continue unlocking the value of AI in the charging service industry, accelerating the digital transformation of the sector.Beyond AI-driven advancements, the rapid growth of EVs has facilitated the integration of ecosystem resources across the charging industry. NaaS is also building its own ecosystem around its charging services by establishing long-term partnerships with automotive OEMs, charging station operators, energy companies, and the State Grid. These collaborations expand infrastructure coverage, provide user-friendly experiences, and enhance customer loyalty.In August 2024, NaaS announced an in-depth partnership with FAW-Volkswagen to provide smart, efficient, and convenient charging experiences for NEV owners. In September, NaaS reached a strategic collaboration with IM Motors to offer enhanced service capabilities. These partnerships highlight NaaS’s ongoing efforts to expand the ecosystem in the EV charging industry, creating a comprehensive and robust service ecosystem.With the rapid growth of NEVs, the charging industry, as a critical supporting infrastructure, has entered a phase of accelerated expansion. As a "connector" in the charging service market, NaaS leverages AI-driven algorithms to continuously integrate resources from various industry participants and collaborate with ecosystem partners to build a mutually beneficial ecosystem. According to the latest financial report, NaaS has transitioned from the early "cash-burning" stage to a phase of refined operations, with its profitability model gradually being recognized by the market. The company is poised for large-scale profitability, supported by its wide network coverage, and its future development is highly anticipated. Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

GMG Unveils SUPER G(R): A Game-Changing Graphene Solution for the Lithium-Ion Battery Industry

Brisbane, Queensland, Australia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - November 21, 2024) -Graphene Manufacturing Group Ltd. (TSXV: GMG) (OTCQX: GMGMF) ("GMG" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the launch of SUPER G®, a graphene slurry which can be used to enhance the performance of lithium-ion batteries. This breakthrough product has the potential to reshape the future of energy storage, offering battery manufacturers an innovative solution that optimizes efficiency, power, and longevity.Figure 1To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/230859_gmg_figure_1.jpgUnleashing the Power of GrapheneSUPER G® is a graphene slurry which has been developed by GMG over the last 3 years for GMG's own Graphene Aluminium-Ion Battery which has unique properties of high electrical conductivity, low charge transfer resistance and high density compared to other carbon battery additives and materials used in lithium-ion batteries.The Graphene comes from GMG's self-developed graphene production system and is then processed through a number of steps in the co-located pilot plant and finally into a liquid graphene product which we believe will be able to be added into or coated onto either a customer's lithium-ion battery cathode or anode production with a 0.5-2% dosage by weight.GMG is currently engaged in confidential discussions with multiple battery manufacturers and industry players to explore the potential testing and supply of SUPER G®. These discussions underscore the growing demand for high-performance materials that can push the boundaries of energy storage technology.Exceptional Performance Confirmed by Oxford UniversityA recent study conducted by Oxford University has confirmed the exceptional performance of GMG's SUPER G®. Key findings include:SUPER G® demonstrates 2.5 times lower mean ionic resistivity compared to standard graphite, as shown in Figure 2. Lower pore ionic resistivity will improve battery efficiency, charge and discharge rates.Figure 2: Ionic Resistivity of Graphite vs. GMG SUPER G® (100 µm thick, 30% porous vs. 125 µm thick)To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/230859_gmg_figure2.jpgSUPER G® features multimodal particle distribution (~20 µm large particles + sub-1 µm particles), which increases energy density for more powerful, longer lasting batteries.Figure 3: Cross-Section of SUPER G® with Wide-Beam Ar+ Ion PolishingTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/8082/230859_gmg_figure3.jpgUnlike conventional materials, SUPER G® maintains its integrity during calendaring (compression onto battery foil), ensuring no significant damage to the binder layer.

I believe Hong Kong has always been regarded as one of the most cutting-edge and international of markets. Its geographical location makes it a vital hub for cultural exchange between the East and West. In fashion design, haute couture represents the pinnacle of art and craftsmanship, making this combination particularly fitting."When discussing the relationship between fashion design and sustainable development, Ms. Bonita Cheung stated, "Juxtaposed is a project we have been undertaking since 2017, aimed at integrating various aspects of sustainability. When curating exhibitions and events, I typically do not reveal the underlying concepts directly, as I hope to encourage deeper reflection from the audience after their visit. Therefore, we explore how to achieve a closed-loop system in fashion, encouraging the use of recycled fabrics and the deconstruction and reconstruction of old inventory, off-season items, and even second-hand clothing."Video: https://hk.finance.yahoo.com/video/hkfda-楊棋彬-張潔雯-探討時尚產業的未來發展-044837487.html It is inspiring to be located in Hong Kong, and there is hope for the integration of artificial intelligence technology across various sectors in the cityDigital Domain Holdings Limited Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Daniel Seah Daniel Seah expressed his thoughts on Digital Domain's establishment in Hong Kong, stating, "We are fortunate to have received the support of the Hong Kong government.

Experience the Power of Movement: Jin Pilates Brings Singapore’s First Garuda Studio for Dynamic, Holistic Wellness ACN Newswire

Experience the Power of Movement: Jin Pilates Brings Singapore’s First Garuda Studio for Dynamic, Holistic Wellness

SINGAPORE, Nov 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Recently, Jin Pilates announced the opening of the first Garuda studio in Singapore. Discover a new way to move, for individuals at every stage of life - expand your range of motion, experience pain-free movement, and let Garuda Pilates transform your body holistically.Singapore is embracing holistic wellness, with individuals seeking mindful movement practices to enhance well-being. Initiatives like the Health Promotion Board's "Healthy Living" programmes and the "National Steps Challenge" promote active lifestyles. Amidst this growing emphasis on wellness, Jin Pilates introduces Singapore's first GarudaⓇ Pilates studio, offering a transformative approach that integrates multiple movement disciplines for a comprehensive fitness experience.Dorothy, the founder of Jin Pilates, comes from a background in dance, a passion that evolved into teaching Pilates. Though she had not initially planned to open a studio, she was captivated by the Garuda Method's multi-dimensional approach, a natural extension of her dance, yoga, and Pilates experience. Its engagement of strength, flexibility, breath and mindfulness deeply resonated with her.Determined to bring this innovative method to Singapore, Dorothy travelled to Australia and later to London to become certified in Garuda Pilates, making her the first comprehensive GarudaⓇ certified instructor in Singapore. Her dedication and expertise led James D'Silva, the creator of the Garuda Method, to acknowledge her as the Master Trainer in Singapore. She initially offered Garuda classes online during the pandemic, and as studios reopened, she began teaching Garuda on traditional Pilates reformers. Eventually, her dream to introduce a dedicated Garuda studio materialised into Jin Pilates, providing Singaporeans and Singapore residents a truly unique Pilates experience unlike any other.Dorothy's vision is not only to share Garuda Pilates with Singapore but also to build a community that values mindful, functional movement. She believes in the power of movement to improve lives and is dedicated to helping her clients "move better" and with greater freedom.The Garuda Method, the cornerstone of Jin Pilates, was created by James D'Silva, a former dancer and choreographer who designed the practice to address chronic pain from multiple spine injuries he sustained throughout his dance career. Today, even in his 60s, D'Silva remains limber and strong, a testament to Garuda's effectiveness. The method stands out in the fitness world for its ability to merge respected movement disciplines into a single, fluid practice. Unlike traditional Pilates, which often focuses on isolated and linear movements, Garuda brings an entirely different level of engagement to the body. It introduces a greater range of motion and dynamic dimensions, allowing multi-faceted movements that engage the entire body at once.Garuda Pilates is known for its innovative use of breathwork, which is integrated into each movement, guiding practitioners to a deeper connection with their bodies. This practice not only tones and strengthens but also provides cardiovascular benefits similar to those achieved through running—without the impact on joints. The result is a well-rounded workout that feels refreshing, invigorating, and restorative. The apparatus, a fusion of Pilates Reformer, Cadillac and Chair, is longer and wider, enabling varied movements and greater joint mobility.Benefits for those with injuries or chronic painOne of the standout aspects of Garuda Pilates is its suitability for individuals recovering from injuries or dealing with chronic conditions, such as scoliosis. Jin Pilates has become a sanctuary for clients seeking both fitness and rehabilitation, as Garuda's emphasis on mindful movement allows for a therapeutic experience that complements traditional rehabilitation.Dorothy has witnessed clients with scoliosis who have come to her class with limited mobility only to find, over time, that they can move in ways they had not thought possible. Though it cannot alter structural issues, Garuda empowers clients to move confidently despite existing conditions. Its functional movements restore mobility and flexibility, relieve pain and enhance strength.Through her work, Dorothy has helped clients overcome 'niggling' discomforts of both old and chronic injuries, empowering them to reconnect with their bodies in new ways. For those who have been hesitant about exercise due to pain, Garuda Pilates offers a gentler yet powerful alternative.Jin Pilates is designed to welcome everyone, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. Dorothy works with a range of clients, from the fit and active to beginners, as well as those in rehabilitation or pre/postnatal stages. Her introductory classes offer a supportive space for newcomers, ensuring a smooth start by introducing clients to the Garuda Apparatus and the fundamentals of the method. Jin Pilates prioritises a personalised, hands-on experience that guides students safely into this new form of movement.To make Garuda Pilates even more accessible, Jin Pilates offers beginner packages and special introductory group classes, which are also available through ClassPass. Clients can also start with private sessions before transitioning to group classes, ensuring they are comfortable with the equipment and movements. This approach makes Garuda Pilates approachable for those unfamiliar with the method, helping them feel empowered and supported every step of the way.For those seeking an intensive experience, Jin Pilates also offers mini-boot camps several times a year. These include a series of sessions that allow participants to delve deeper into Garuda's benefits, combining apparatus work, mat exercises, and barre techniques. Additionally, Dorothy plans to launch teacher training next year, inviting others to join the movement as Garuda instructors and spread its transformative benefits. Follow Jin Pilates on social media for the latest updates on schedules, special offers and upcoming launches.As the first Garuda studio in Singapore, Jin Pilates extends an invitation to anyone curious to experience a truly unique and holistic approach to movement - an experience that is best felt rather than explained. Whether you're looking to improve flexibility, alleviate pain, or explore a new form of mindful exercise, Jin Pilates provides a welcoming environment for all.In Dorothy's words, "I believe that more people should learn to move better. Garuda Pilates is a way to truly understand and experience your body's potential in a way that's restorative, empowering, and inclusive for everyone."Ready to experience the transformative power of Garuda Pilates? Book an introductory session at Jin Pilates today and start your journey toward mindful, pain-free movement with Singapore's first comprehensive Garuda-certified instructor, Dorothy. Explore what's possible for your body with guidance from an expert - because every movement counts toward a healthier, more balanced you.Media ContactCompany: Jin PilatesContact: Media TeamWebsite: https://jinpilates.co/SOURCE: Jin Pilates Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Honda Unveils Demonstration Production Line for All-Solid-State Batteries Located in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan

TOKYO, Nov 21, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today unveiled the demonstration production line for all-solid-state batteries, which is being developed independently by Honda toward mass production. The line was constructed on the property of Honda R&D Co., Ltd. (Sakura), located in Sakura City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. While conducting technical verification to establish a mass production process on this demonstration line, Honda will determine the basic specifications of the battery cells, with an aim to begin applying its all-solid-state batteries to electrified models that will be introduced to market in the second half of the 2020s.For the purpose of establishing the mass production process for its all-solid-state batteries, Honda built this demonstration line that replicates processes required for the mass production. The demonstration line has a total floor area of approximately 27,400 m2 (295,000 ft2), and is equipped with facilities and equipment that enable verification of each production process, including weighing and mixing of electrode materials, coating and roll pressing of electrode assembly and the formation of cells, and assembly of the module. The construction of the facility building was completed in spring of this year, with almost all of the key equipment necessary for the verification now installed. Honda is planning to begin battery production on this demonstration line in January 2025 and will conduct verification of mass production technologies and costs for each process, while also developing battery cell specifications.Based on the conventional production process for liquid lithium-ion batteries, the Honda all-solid-state battery production process adopts a roll-pressing technique which will contribute to an increase in the density of the solid electrolyte layers, a process unique only to the production of all-solid-state batteries, and makes continuous pressing possible. With the adoption of the roll-pressing technique, Honda will strive to increase the degree of interfacial contact between the electrolyte and the electrodes and also increase overall productivity. Moreover, by consolidating and speeding up a series of assembly processes, including the bonding of positive and negative electrodes, Honda will strive to significantly reduce the production time per cell. Furthermore, Honda is also working to reduce indirect costs of battery production, including power consumption, by implementing various measures, including the establishment of production control technology that minimizes the low dew point environment necessary to ensure work safety and battery performance.By increasing cost competitiveness of its all-solid-state batteries through the adoption of a highly efficient production process and by expanding application of the batteries to a wide range of Honda mobility products, not only automobiles but motorcycles and aircraft, Honda aims to further reduce battery costs by taking advantage of economies of scale. Through these initiatives, Honda will offer new value made possible by its innovative all-solid-state battery technologies to an even greater number of customers and expand the joy of mobility.Honda has abundant manufacturing expertise and a proven track record of achieving mass production of new technologies, such as solar cells and fuel cells. Now, in the area of all-solid-state batteries, Honda is conducting speedy research and development in two core areas – material specifications and manufacturing methods – with the aim of starting mass production of the battery in the second half of the 2020s. Even before the battery materials and specifications are determined, the production engineering division has been participating in development and taking part in decisions on battery structure, materials, and production methods, which would be most suitable for vehicle installation. As a result, Honda was able to begin operation of this demonstration line quickly, and is making efficient progress in material selections.Striving to realize carbon neutrality for all Honda products and corporate activities by 2050, Honda has set a target to make battery-electric and fuel cell electric vehicles represent 100% of its new vehicle sales globally by 2040. Due to their characteristics of high energy density and excellent heat resistance, all-solid batteries are expected to be the next-generation batteries that will solve issues that hinder the popularization of EVs such as range, price, and charging time. In addition to the high energy density and durability achieved by its original material design technology, Honda is striving to lower the cost of the batteries by simplifying the cooling structure by taking advantage of high heat resistance and realizing highly efficient production processes, thereby achieving a significant advancement of EV performance and creation of new value for its customers.Comments by Keiji Otsu, President and Representative Director of Honda R&D Co., Ltd.“The all-solid-state battery is an innovative technology that will be a game changer in this EV era. Replacing engines that have been supporting the advancements of automobiles to date, batteries will be the key factor of electrification. We believe that advancement of batteries will be a driving force in the transformation of Honda.

Rang Undang-Undang Bersejarah untuk Mengharamkan Kanak-Kanak Menggunakan Media Sosial Diperkenalkan di Parlimen Australia berita

Rang Undang-Undang Bersejarah untuk Mengharamkan Kanak-Kanak Menggunakan Media Sosial Diperkenalkan di Parlimen Australia

(SeaPRwire) - MELBOURNE — Menteri komunikasi Australia telah memperkenalkan undang-undang pertama di dunia ke Parlimen pada hari Khamis yang akan mengharamkan kanak-kanak di bawah umur 16 tahun daripada media sosial, dengan menyatakan keselamatan dalam talian adalah salah satu cabaran paling sukar ibu bapa. Michelle Rowland berkata TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X dan Instagram adalah antara platform yang akan dikenakan denda sehingga 50 juta dolar Australia ($33 juta) bagi kegagalan sistematik untuk mencegah kanak-kanak kecil daripada memiliki akaun. “Rang undang-undang ini bertujuan untuk menetapkan nilai normatif baharu dalam masyarakat bahawa akses kepada media sosial bukanlah ciri penentu membesar di Australia,” kata Rowland kepada Parlimen. “Terdapat pengiktirafan meluas bahawa sesuatu mesti dilakukan dalam jangka masa terdekat untuk membantu mencegah remaja dan kanak-kanak daripada terdedah kepada aliran kandungan yang tidak ditapis dan tidak terhad,” tambahnya. Rang undang-undang ini mendapat sokongan politik yang meluas. Selepas ia menjadi undang-undang, platform tersebut akan mempunyai masa selama setahun untuk memikirkan cara untuk melaksanakan sekatan umur. “Bagi terlalu ramai anak muda Australia, media sosial boleh menjadi berbahaya. Hampir dua pertiga daripada remaja Australia berusia 14 hingga 17 tahun telah melihat kandungan yang sangat berbahaya dalam talian termasuk penyalahgunaan dadah, bunuh diri atau kecederaan diri serta bahan ganas. Seperempat daripada mereka telah terdedah kepada kandungan yang menggalakkan tabiat pemakanan yang tidak selamat,” kata Rowland. Penyelidikan kerajaan mendapati bahawa “95% daripada penjaga Australia mendapati keselamatan dalam talian sebagai salah satu cabaran keibubapaan mereka yang paling sukar,” katanya. Media sosial mempunyai tanggungjawab sosial dan boleh melakukan yang lebih baik dalam menangani kemudaratan di platform mereka, katanya. “Ini adalah mengenai melindungi golongan muda, bukan menghukum atau mengasingkan mereka, dan membiarkan ibu bapa tahu bahawa kami berada di pihak mereka dalam menyokong kesihatan dan kesejahteraan anak-anak mereka,” kata Rowland. Pakar kebajikan kanak-kanak dan internet telah menimbulkan kebimbangan mengenai larangan tersebut, termasuk mengasingkan remaja berusia 14 dan 15 tahun daripada rangkaian sosial dalam talian mereka yang telah wujud. Rowland berkata tidak akan ada sekatan umur yang dikenakan ke atas perkhidmatan pesanan, permainan dalam talian atau platform yang memberi sokongan yang besar kepada kesihatan dan pendidikan pengguna. “Kami tidak mengatakan risiko tidak wujud pada aplikasi pesanan atau permainan dalam talian. Walaupun pengguna masih boleh terdedah kepada kandungan berbahaya oleh pengguna lain, mereka tidak menghadapi kurator kandungan algoritma dan manipulasi psikologi yang sama untuk menggalakkan penglibatan yang hampir tanpa henti,” kata Rowland. Kerajaan minggu lalu bahawa sebuah konsortium yang diketuai oleh syarikat British, Age Check Certification Scheme telah dikontrak untuk mengkaji pelbagai teknologi untuk menganggarkan dan mengesahkan umur. Sebagai tambahan kepada penghapusan kanak-kanak di bawah umur 16 tahun daripada media sosial, Australia juga sedang mencari cara untuk mencegah kanak-kanak di bawah umur 18 tahun daripada mengakses pornografi dalam talian, menurut kenyataan kerajaan. Ketua eksekutif Age Check Certification Scheme, Tony Allen berkata pada hari Isnin teknologi yang sedang dipertimbangkan termasuk anggaran umur dan inferens umur. Inferens melibatkan penubuhan satu siri fakta tentang individu yang menunjukkan mereka sekurang-kurangnya berumur tertentu. Rowland berkata platform tersebut juga akan dikenakan denda sehingga AU$50 juta ($33 juta) jika mereka menyalahgunakan maklumat peribadi pengguna yang diperoleh untuk tujuan jaminan umur. Maklumat yang digunakan untuk jaminan umur mesti dimusnahkan selepas memenuhi tujuan tersebut melainkan pengguna bersetuju untuk ia disimpan, katanya. Digital Industry Group Inc., seorang penyokong industri digital di Australia, berkata dengan Parlimen dijangka mengundi rang undang-undang itu minggu depan, mungkin tidak ada masa untuk “perundingan yang bermakna mengenai butiran perundangan yang belum pernah terjadi di dunia ini”. “Platform digital arus perdana mempunyai langkah-langkah ketat untuk memastikan keselamatan golongan muda, dan larangan itu boleh menolak golongan muda ke ruang dalam talian yang lebih gelap dan kurang selamat yang tidak mempunyai pengaman keselamatan,” kata pengarah urusan DIGI, Sunita Bose dalam satu kenyataan. “Larangan yang tidak jelas tidak menggalakkan syarikat untuk terus meningkatkan keselamatan kerana tumpuannya adalah untuk memastikan remaja tidak menggunakan perkhidmatan tersebut, dan bukannya memastikan keselamatan mereka semasa mereka menggunakannya,” tambah Bose.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pelancong Amerika dan Australia Meninggal di Laos Selepas Minum Alkohol Tercemar “`

(SeaPRwire) - VIENTIANE, Laos — Seorang remaja perempuan Australia telah meninggal dunia selepas meminum alkohol tercemar di Vang Vieng, Laos, dalam kejadian yang disebut Perdana Menteri Australia pada hari Khamis sebagai mimpi ngeri setiap ibu bapa, dan Jabatan Negara Amerika Syarikat mengesahkan seorang rakyat Amerika juga meninggal dunia di bandar parti yang sama, menjadikan jumlah kematian kepada empat orang. Perdana Menteri Australia Anthony Albanese memberitahu Parlimen bahawa Bianca Jones, 19 tahun, telah meninggal dunia selepas dipindahkan dari Laos untuk rawatan di sebuah hospital di Thailand. Kawannya, juga berusia 19 tahun, masih dirawat di hospital di Thailand. “Ini adalah ketakutan paling buruk setiap ibu bapa dan mimpi ngeri yang tidak sepatutnya ditanggung oleh sesiapa pun,” kata Albanese. “Kami juga mengambil kesempatan ini untuk menyatakan bahawa kami turut bersimpati dengan rakan Bianca, Holly Bowles yang sedang berjuang untuk hidupnya.” Dalam satu kenyataan kepada akhbar Melbourne Herald Sun, keluarga Jones meminta privasi dalam kesedihan mereka. “Dia dikelilingi oleh kasih sayang, dan kami dihiburkan dengan pengetahuan bahawa semangatnya yang luar biasa telah menyentuh begitu banyak kehidupan sepanjang masa bersama kami,” tulis keluarga itu. “Kami ingin mengucapkan terima kasih yang paling mendalam atas sokongan, kasih sayang, dan doa yang amat menggalakkan yang telah kami terima dari seluruh Australia.” Jabatan Negara mengesahkan kepada Associated Press dalam satu kenyataan melalui emel bahawa seorang pelancong Amerika juga telah meninggal dunia tetapi menyatakan bahawa ia tidak mempunyai komen lanjut atas rasa hormat kepada keluarga. Ia menyatakan bahawa pihak berkuasa tempatan sedang menyiasat dan bahawa Amerika Syarikat sedang memberikan bantuan konsular. “Kami mengucapkan takziah yang ikhlas kepada keluarga atas kehilangan mereka,” kata Jabatan Negara. Nombor telefon yang disenaraikan untuk Kementerian Kesihatan Laos tidak berfungsi dan polis enggan memberi komen. Laos yang tidak berpantai adalah salah satu negara termiskin di Asia Tenggara dan destinasi pelancongan yang popular. Vang Vieng amat popular di kalangan pelancong ransel yang mencari hiburan dan sukan pengembaraan. Maklumat mengenai keracunan alkohol mula tersebar kira-kira seminggu selepas dua wanita Australia itu jatuh sakit pada 13 November selepas keluar minum malam bersama sekumpulan orang di pekan terpencil itu. Mereka dipercayai telah meminum minuman yang tercemar dengan metanol, yang kadang-kadang digunakan sebagai alkohol dalam minuman campuran di bar-bar yang tidak bereputasi dan boleh menyebabkan keracunan teruk atau kematian. Pihak berkuasa Thailand mengesahkan bahawa Jones telah meninggal dunia akibat “bengkak otak disebabkan oleh tahap metanol yang tinggi yang terdapat dalam sistemnya.” “Pencurian minuman dan keracunan metanol terlalu biasa di banyak bahagian dunia,” kata Menteri Luar Australia Penny Wong selepas menerima berita kematian Jones. “Pada masa ini saya ingin berkata kepada ibu bapa, kepada golongan muda, sila berbincang tentang risiko, sila maklumkan diri anda, sila marilah kita bekerjasama untuk memastikan tragedi ini tidak berulang lagi.” Kementerian Luar New Zealand menyatakan pada hari Khamis bahawa salah seorang warganya juga tidak sihat di Laos dan mungkin mangsa keracunan metanol. Kementerian Luar Denmark, apabila ditanya mengenai kejadian keracunan itu, berkata pada hari Rabu bahawa dua warganya telah meninggal dunia di Laos tetapi tidak akan memberikan butiran lanjut. “Kami telah mengemaskini nasihat perjalanan kami untuk Laos untuk menyatakan bahawa terdapat beberapa kes keracunan metanol yang disyaki selepas meminum minuman beralkohol,” kata Kementerian Luar New Zealand. “Pelancong dinasihatkan untuk berhati-hati tentang meminum minuman beralkohol, terutamanya koktel dan minuman yang dibuat dengan minuman keras yang mungkin telah dicampur dengan bahan berbahaya.” Amerika Syarikat tidak serta-merta mengeluarkan nasihat perjalanan yang dikemas kini. Pada hari Selasa, Duong Duc Toan, pengurus asrama Nana Backpacker di mana dua wanita Australia itu menginap di Vang Vieng, memberitahu AP bahawa kakitangan telah diberitahu oleh tetamu lain bahawa kedua-dua wanita itu tidak sihat selepas mereka gagal untuk daftar keluar seperti yang dirancang pada 13 November, dan mereka telah mengatur pengangkutan ke hospital untuk mereka. Kedua-dua wanita itu kemudiannya diangkut ke Thailand untuk rawatan perubatan kecemasan dan ibu bapa mereka telah terbang ke sana untuk bersama mereka. “Semua rakyat Australia menawarkan simpati yang paling mendalam kepada mereka pada masa kesedihan ini,” kata Albanese. “Perjalanan Bianca sepatutnya menjadi masa yang menggembirakan dan sumber kenangan indah pada tahun-tahun akan datang,” katanya. “Sangat menyedihkan bahawa ini tidak akan berlaku.” —Rising melaporkan dari Bangkok. Jutarat Skulpichetrat di Bangkok, Rod McGuirk di Melbourne, Australia, dan Charlotte Graham-McLay di Wellington, New Zealand, menyumbang kepada cerita ini.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Lelaki Florida Ditahan dan Didakwa Merancang Pengeboman Bursa Saham New York berita

Lelaki Florida Ditahan dan Didakwa Merancang Pengeboman Bursa Saham New York

(SeaPRwire) - Seorang lelaki Florida telah ditangkap pada hari Rabu dan didakwa merancang untuk "memulakan semula" kerajaan A.S. dengan meletakkan bom di Bursa Saham New York minggu ini dan meletupkannya dengan alat kawalan jauh, menurut FBI. Harun Abdul-Malik Yener, 30, dari Coral Springs, Florida, telah didakwa dengan percubaan menggunakan alat letupan untuk merosakkan atau memusnahkan bangunan yang digunakan dalam perdagangan antara negeri. FBI mula menyiasat Yener pada bulan Februari berdasarkan maklumat bahawa dia menyimpan "lakaran pembuatan bom" di sebuah unit storan. Mereka menjumpai lakaran pembuatan bom, banyak jam dengan pengatur masa, papan litar elektronik dan elektronik lain yang boleh digunakan untuk membina alat letupan, menurut FBI. Dia juga telah mencari perkara yang berkaitan dengan pembuatan bom dalam talian sejak tahun 2017, menurut FBI. Yener juga memberitahu ejen FBI yang menyamar bahawa dia ingin meletupkan bom pada minggu sebelum Thanksgiving dan bursa saham di Lower Manhattan akan menjadi tapak yang popular untuk disasarkan. "Bursa Saham, kita mahu menyerang tempat itu, kerana ia akan mengejutkan orang ramai," katanya kepada ejen FBI yang menyamar, menurut dokumen mahkamah. Yener, yang digambarkan sebagai "gelandangan," ingin mengebom bursa saham untuk "memulakan semula" kerajaan A.S., dengan menjelaskan bahawa ia akan menjadi "seperti nuklear kecil yang meletup," membunuh semua orang di dalam bangunan, menurut dokumen mahkamah. Dalam bulan lepas, dia telah menyambung semula radio dua hala supaya ia boleh berfungsi sebagai pencetus jauh untuk alat letupan dan merancang untuk memakai penyamaran semasa meletakkan bahan letupan, menurut dokumen mahkamah. Yener membuat penampilan mahkamah pertamanya pada petang Rabu dan akan ditahan sementara dia menunggu perbicaraan. Dia dikenali kerana memuat naik video di saluran YouTube mengenai pembuatan bahan letupan dan bunga api daripada barangan rumah, dan mempunyai sejarah membuat ancaman, menurut dokumen mahkamah. Dia dipecat tahun lepas dari sebuah restoran di Coconut Creek, Florida, selepas bekas penyelianya berkata dia mengancam untuk "menjadi penembak Parkland di tempat ini." Dia juga merupakan sebahagian daripada kumpulan kecil yang cuba menyertai kumpulan anti-kerajaan sayap kanan "Boogaloo Bois" dan kumpulan pelampau Proud Boys tetapi ditolak keahlian kerana dia berkata dia mahu "mengejar syahid," menurut dokumen mahkamah. Berita itu pertama kali dilaporkan oleh laman web CourtWatch.

Gunung Berapi di Semenanjung Reykjanes, Iceland Meletus buat Kali Ketujuh dalam Tempoh 12 Bulan berita

Gunung Berapi di Semenanjung Reykjanes, Iceland Meletus buat Kali Ketujuh dalam Tempoh 12 Bulan

(SeaPRwire) - GRINDAVIK, Iceland — Sebuah gunung berapi di Semenanjung Reykjanes di Iceland barat daya memuntahkan lava dari rekahan dalam letusan ketujuhnya sejak Disember. Letusan itu bermula tanpa banyak amaran pada pukul 11:14 malam Rabu dan menghasilkan rekahan sepanjang kira-kira 3 kilometer (1.8 batu) tetapi dianggarkan jauh lebih kecil daripada letusan sebelumnya pada bulan Ogos, kata pejabat meteorologi Iceland yang memantau aktiviti seismik. “Secara keseluruhannya, ini sedikit lebih kecil daripada letusan terakhir dan letusan yang berlaku pada bulan Mei,” kata Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, seorang profesor geofizik yang terbang ke atas letusan bersama agensi Perlindungan Awam untuk memantau letusan dan yang bercakap dengan penyiar negara RUV. Walaupun letusan itu tidak menimbulkan ancaman kepada perjalanan udara, pihak berkuasa memberi amaran tentang pelepasan gas di beberapa bahagian semenanjung, termasuk pekan Grindavík berdekatan. Letusan gunung berapi berulang kali berhampiran Grindavík, sebuah pekan dengan 3,800 penduduk kira-kira 50 kilometer (30 batu) di barat daya ibu negara, Reykjavik, telah merosakkan infrastruktur dan harta benda dan memaksa ramai penduduk berpindah untuk menjamin keselamatan mereka. “Grindavík tidak dalam bahaya seperti yang kelihatan dan adalah tidak mungkin rekahan ini akan menjadi lebih panjang, walaupun tiada apa yang boleh dikesampingkan,” kata Magnús Tumi. Kira-kira 50 buah rumah telah dipindahkan dengan segera selepas agensi Perlindungan Awam mengeluarkan amaran, bersama-sama dengan tetamu di resort Blue Lagoon yang terkenal, menurut RUV. Iceland, yang terletak di atas titik panas gunung berapi di Atlantik Utara, mempunyai purata satu letusan setiap empat hingga lima tahun. Yang paling mengganggu dalam masa terdekat ialah letusan gunung berapi Eyjafjallajokull pada tahun 2010, yang memuntahkan awan abu ke atmosfera dan mengganggu perjalanan udara trans-Atlantik selama beberapa bulan. —Keyton melaporkan dari Berlin.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.
