First Philec Transforms Global Supply Chain with Real-Time Visibility through GoComet

Leading energy solutions provider leverages GoComet’s AI-powered platform to enhance shipment visibility, reduce costs, and advance sustainability goals Manila, Philippines – November 11, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – First Philec, the leading transformer manufacturer and a key innovator in energy solutions with over 250,000 installations across South East Asia, has integrated GoComet’s AI-powered solution to enhance logistics efficiency and gain precise visibility across global shipments. Previously, manual shipment management resulted in time zone misalignments, escalating D&D charges, and delays caused by unclear tracking updates. Forwarders and other stakeholders frequently described shipments as “in transit,” which provided little clarity. The ocean is vast, and hearing a shipment is ‘in transit’ didn’t provide actionable information. This lack of visibility led to operational disruptions and unplanned costs. By leveraging GoTrack, First Philec now monitors shipments in real-time through a single dashboard, providing actionable updates at every stage. This enhanced oversight allows their logistics team to address potential delays promptly, reduce penalties, and ensure seamless deliveries. “Before GoComet, we were doing everything manually. We had to wait hours for updates due to the time zone difference,” said Alicia Firmeza, First Philec’s Vice President of Enterprise Service. “We now have full transparency in our supply chain and know where exactly our shipment is, which helps us stay agile and responsive to take alternative actions to prevent delay.” Additionally, GoComet has aligned with First Philec’s sustainability objectives by offering carbon emission tracking tool that optimizes shipping routes to reduce emissions and transportation costs. This strategic alignment reflects both companies’ commitment to environmentally responsible practices. “What impressed us at first about GoComet was its carbon emission monitoring feature. With this capability, we can now track and monitor the carbon emissions, which helps us significantly advance our sustainability goals.” Firmeza added. With GoComet’s solutions now deeply integrated, First Philec is positioned to navigate future supply chain challenges efficiently, ensuring reliable operations as they continue to expand and deliver energy solutions across the region. Gautam Prem Jain, CEO of GoComet, acknowledged First Philec’s leadership in adopting technology to enhance operations: “Supporting First Philec’s operational transformation has been an honor. Their proactive approach to logistics modernization highlights their commitment to excellence and sustainability. We are proud to have played a role in equipping them with the tools required to achieve real-time visibility and seamless collaboration across stakeholders. This effort enhances their efficiency and aligns with broader sustainability goals, demonstrating the impact that innovation can bring to logistics.” GoComet is also empowering leading companies in the energy, manufacturing, and industrial sectors such as Eaton, REC, Buckman, Indorama Ventures, Tata Motors, and Ashok Leyland amongst others to achieve operational excellence and streamline their international logistics piece.

Apa Yang Telah Dilakukan Oleh Orang Kristian Kulit Putih berita

Apa Yang Telah Dilakukan Oleh Orang Kristian Kulit Putih

(SeaPRwire) - Seperti ahli sains sosial dan sarjana lain, saya akan menghabiskan beberapa minggu dan bulan seterusnya mengkaji data pra-pilihan raya, tinjauan keluar, dan gelombang pertama tinjauan pasca-pilihan raya untuk cuba memahami bagaimana majoriti pengundi Amerika memilih untuk mengembalikan— seorang pesalah jenayah yang pernah dua kali dimakzulkan dan disabitkan kesalahan sebagai pelaku serangan seksual yang menghasut rusuhan ganas ketika dia kalah dalam pilihan raya terakhir— ke tampuk kekuasaan. Kerana pilihan raya dimenangi dan kalah di pinggiran dalam sebuah negara yang sangat terbahagi seperti negara kita, kebanyakan analisis itu akan dengan tepatnya memberi tumpuan kepada kumpulan kecil mana (seperti Latino dan lelaki muda) yang beralih paling ketara dari gabungan kemenangan Parti Demokrat pada tahun 2020. Tetapi tumpuan itu, walaupun penting secara strategik, akan mengaburkan bahaya yang lebih dalam yang dihadapi oleh negara kita. Otoritarianisme, apabila ia berkembang, muncul dari tanah yang lebih dalam di tengah-tengah. Dengan calon presiden Republikan yang secara tetap mengeluarkan kata-kata yang bersifat perkauman, misoginis, dan (seperti dakwaan bahawa pendatang adalah “” negara ini), perkara yang paling luar biasa mengenai pilihan raya ini bukan kumpulan mana yang beralih sedikit ke arahnya, tetapi kumpulan mana yang terus memberikannya sokongan majoriti super. Iaitu, kita mesti membincangkan bagaimana telah menjangkiti Kristian putih arus perdana dengan begitu mendalam. Kemenangan Trump diperbolehkan kerana, seperti yang dinyatakan oleh kajian pengundi yang disahkan oleh Pew Research Center, 77% Kristian Protestan evangelis putih, bersama-sama dengan 57% Protestan bukan evangelis putih dan 64% Katolik putih, memberinya legitimasi moral dan memberikannya undi mereka. Bahkan setelah menyaksikan Trump melaksanakan dasar-dasar yang kejam seperti dari ibu bapa mereka dan menempatkan mereka dalam sangkar, bahkan setelah menyaksikan pemakzulannya kerana menyalahgunakan untuk cuba mendapatkan pemimpin asing untuk campur tangan dalam pilihan raya 2020, Kristian putih terus menyokongnya. Sokongan Protestan evangelis putih untuk Trump dalam pilihan raya 2020 meningkat kepada 84%, sementara Protestan bukan evangelis dan Katolik putih umumnya tetap stabil (masing-masing 57%). Ketika Trump melancarkan kemunculan semula politiknya pada tahun 2023 dan 2024, Kristian putih mendapat manfaat daripada menyaksikan pemakzulan Trump yang kedua kerana menghasut rusuhan ganas dalam usaha untuk kekal berkuasa setelah kalah dalam pilihan raya itu, empat dakwaan jenayah dan sabitan kesalahan jenayah, dan kempen presiden yang paling terang-terangan bersifat perkauman sejak George Wallace (yang juga mengadakan bersifat fasis pada tahun 1968). Walaupun semua ini, berbeza dengan tahun 2016, hampir tidak ada suara pembangkang yang ketara di kalangan pemimpin penyokong paling setia Trump. Hanya dua minggu sebelum pilihan raya 2024, penginjil Amerika , anak lelaki Billy Graham, secara terang-terangan memohon kepada Tuhan untuk kemenangan Trump dalam perhimpunan Trump di Concord, NC. “Ada unsur rohani yang sedang bekerja di sini. Ada kekuatan jahat yang berjajaran melawan lelaki ini. Mereka telah cuba memenjarakannya; mereka telah cuba membunuhnya dua kali; dia diserang setiap hari dalam media,” katanya dengan sedih. “Kami berdoa untuk negara kita dan, Bapa, jika itulah kehendak-Mu, agar Presiden Trump akan memenangi pilihan raya ini. Kami berdoa ini dalam nama Yesus. Amin.” Menurut , 8 dari 10 (81%) evangelis putih sekali lagi menyatakan kesetiaan mereka kepada Trump, seperti juga 60% Katolik putih dan jumlah yang sama bagi Protestan bukan evangelis putih. (Catatan: Walaupun tidak ada nombor tinjauan keluar yang tersedia untuk umum bagi Protestan bukan evangelis putih, menunjukkan 6 dari 10 sekali lagi menyokong Trump). Jika kita meletakkan sokongan kuat Kristian putih terhadap Trump dalam konteks, kita dapat melihat dengan jelas sumbangan tunggal mereka kepada kuasanya. Secara keseluruhan, lebih daripada dua pertiga (68%) Kristian putih lebih menyukai Trump berbanding Harris—cerminan negara lain, termasuk Kristian berwarna (33%), pengikut agama bukan Kristian (30%), dan yang tidak beragama (28%). Walaupun bahagian Kristian putih dalam negara telah menurun selama tiga dekad yang lalu, mereka masih 41% daripada penduduk dan peratusan yang lebih tinggi daripada pengundi. Bahkan penurunan sederhana dalam tahap sokongan yang luar biasa untuk Trump di kalangan Kristian putih akan menafikannya pencalonan Republikan atau jawatan presiden. Yang paling membimbangkan, kali ini, Kristian putih, yang pernah dengan bangga menggelarkan diri mereka sebagai “pengundi nilai,” tahu betul siapa dan apa yang mereka undi. Dengan Trump meninggalkan sokongan lama Parti Republikan terhadap larangan nasional terhadap pengguguran dan tidak ada lagi hakim Mahkamah Agung yang perlu dilantik, daun ara pengguguran jatuh, mendedahkan unsur-unsur yang lebih buruk yang selalu mengaitkan Kristian putih dengan Trump. Tinjauan PRRI secara konsisten mendapati sokongan yang kuat di kalangan Kristian putih untuk dan xenophobia yang merupakan DNA yang lebih dalam bagi gerakan MAGA. bahawa “hari ini diskriminasi terhadap orang Amerika putih telah menjadi masalah besar seperti diskriminasi terhadap orang Amerika Hitam dan minoriti lain.” Dan tiga perempat Protestan evangelis putih, bersama-sama dengan 6 dari 10 Protestan bukan evangelis putih dan Katolik putih, berkata mereka bahkan bahagian paling ekstrem daripada skema pengusiran besar-besaran Trump, yang digambarkan dalam tinjauan sebagai “menangkap dan mengusir pendatang yang berada di negara ini secara haram, walaupun ia memerlukan penubuhan kem yang dikawal oleh tentera AS.” Tetapi sokongan berangka untuk Trump hanyalah satu aspek dari apa yang telah dilakukan oleh Kristian putih di negara kita. Secara sejarah, kita tahu bahawa semua pemimpin autoritarian memerlukan mekanisme untuk memproyeksikan legitimasi moral, terutamanya ketika mereka mempercepatkan usaha untuk mengukuhkan kuasa dan merosakkan norma demokrasi dan kebebasan individu. Hampir seabad yang lalu, gerakan Nazi Adolf Hitler telah menawan . Hari ini kita melihat penggunaan yang sama di Rusia Vladimir Putin dan di “demokrasi tidak liberal” Viktor Orbán di Hungary—model kontemporari yang kedua-duanya dan telah memuji. Sepanjang dekad yang lalu, ramai Kristian putih bukan sahaja secara mementingkan diri sendiri menyokong seorang lelaki yang berbahaya dan narsis yang berjanji untuk memulihkan pengaruh mereka yang semakin merosot; mereka kini dengan rela hati memberkati kemunculan fasisme Amerika baharu yang mengancam masa depan demokrasi kita. Mereka bertanggungjawab utama terhadap kebangkitan Trump dan kembalinya dia ke tampuk kekuasaan—dan untuk segala-galanya yang akan datang kepada kita semua akibatnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Haiti Ganti Perdana Menteri Sementara di Tengah Proses Demokratisasi yang Rusuh berita

Haiti Ganti Perdana Menteri Sementara di Tengah Proses Demokratisasi yang Rusuh

(SeaPRwire) - PORT-AU-PRINCE — Majlis peralihan yang ditubuhkan untuk memulihkan sistem demokrasi di Haiti telah menandatangani dekri pada hari Ahad yang memecat Perdana Menteri Sementara Garry Conille dan menggantikannya dengan Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, seorang ahli perniagaan yang sebelum ini dipertimbangkan untuk jawatan tersebut. Dekri tersebut, yang dijangka diterbitkan pada hari Isnin, telah diberikan kepada Associated Press oleh sumber kerajaan. Ia menandakan lebih banyak kekacauan dalam proses peralihan demokrasi yang sudah goyah di Haiti, yang tidak mengadakan pilihan raya demokrasi selama bertahun-tahun, sebahagian besarnya disebabkan oleh peningkatan tahap keganasan geng yang melanda negara Caribbean itu. Fils-Aimé ialah bekas presiden Dewan Perdagangan dan Industri Haiti dan pada tahun 2015 menjalankan kempen yang tidak berjaya untuk Senat. Ahli perniagaan itu belajar di Boston University dan sebelum ini dipertimbangkan untuk jawatan tersebut sebagai calon sektor swasta untuk jawatan tersebut sebelum Conille mengambil alih. Conille, seorang pegawai awam yang berpengalaman yang telah bekerja dengan Pertubuhan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu, berkhidmat sebagai perdana menteri hanya selama enam bulan. Majlis peralihan ditubuhkan pada bulan April, ditugaskan untuk memilih perdana menteri dan Kabinet seterusnya di Haiti dengan harapan bahawa ia akan membantu menenangkan kekacauan di Haiti. Tetapi majlis tersebut telah dibelenggu oleh politik dan pergaduhan dalaman, dan telah lama berselisih faham dengan Conille. Organisasi seperti Organisasi Negara-negara Amerika berusaha dan gagal minggu lalu untuk menengahi perselisihan dalam usaha untuk menyelamatkan peralihan yang rapuh, menurut laporan dari Miami Herald. Proses tersebut menerima tamparan lain pada bulan Oktober apabila tiga daripada ahli majlis tersebut menghadapi tuduhan rasuah, daripada penyiasat anti rasuah yang mendakwa bahawa mereka menuntut suapan sebanyak $750,000 daripada pengarah bank kerajaan untuk mendapatkan kerjanya. Laporan itu adalah tamparan yang signifikan kepada majlis sembilan ahli tersebut dan dijangka akan menghakis lagi kepercayaan rakyat terhadapnya. Ahli-ahli yang sama yang dituduh melakukan rasuah, Smith Augustin, Emmanuel Vertilaire dan Louis Gérald Gilles, adalah antara mereka yang menandatangani dekri tersebut. Hanya satu ahli, Edgard Leblanc Fils, yang tidak menandatangani perintah itu. Langkah oleh majlis peralihan tersebut telah dikecam oleh sesetengah pihak di Haiti seperti bekas Menteri Kehakiman Bernard Gousse, yang memberitahu media tempatan bahawa pemecatan Conille adalah "haram" kerana majlis tersebut melampaui kuasanya dan kerana tuduhan rasuah yang dikenakan ke atas mereka. —Wartawan Associated Press Megan Janetsky menyumbang kepada laporan ini dari Mexico City.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Exito DevOps Summit 2024: Transforming the Future of Software Development in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Nov 11, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Singapore continues its rise as a leading tech hub in Southeast Asia, the demand for innovative software solutions has never been higher. With a robust infrastructure, strategic location, and a business-friendly environment, Singapore attracts tech companies, startups, and multinational enterprises looking to harness the power of technology to stay ahead of the curve. However, as technology rapidly evolves, traditional development methodologies struggle to keep pace. In this dynamic environment, DevOps has emerged as a critical practice for organizations aiming to accelerate their software development lifecycle, improve collaboration between teams, and deliver high-quality software more efficiently.The Singaporean tech ecosystem is marked by its emphasis on speed, innovation, and agility, driven by global competition and a constantly evolving market. Companies here are under increasing pressure to adapt to changing customer needs, market trends, and regulatory requirements—factors that traditional waterfall development models struggle to address. DevOps enables organizations to respond to these challenges by promoting continuous integration, continuous delivery (CI/CD), and rapid iteration, which are essential to maintaining a competitive edge in today’s fast-paced digital landscape. The collaborative nature of DevOps—uniting development and operations teams—also facilitates improved communication and alignment, a crucial advantage in Singapore’s multicultural and multidisciplinary workforce.Moreover, as Singapore moves towards becoming a “Smart Nation,” its public and private sectors are investing heavily in cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing. DevOps tools play an essential role in enabling the development and deployment of these advanced technologies. By automating workflows, streamlining testing processes, and ensuring security through practices like DevSecOps, DevOps ensures that software can be delivered rapidly and securely, without compromising quality. With enterprises increasingly adopting DevOps to fuel innovation and digital transformation, it has become an indispensable methodology for businesses looking to navigate the complexities of modern software development in Singapore.Overview of the event:The DevOps Singapore is one such event that explores the latest trends, challenges, and strategies in DevOps. This exclusive, invitation-only summit brings together over 150 C-level executives, DevOps leaders, and tech innovators to discuss the strategic integration of DevOps in modern enterprises. Key topics include the evolution of DevOps, AI-driven automation, cloud operations, and the importance of DevSecOps.Attendees will gain insights into how leading organizations leverage DevOps to drive innovation, improve efficiency, and enhance security. The event offers a unique opportunity to learn from the transformative impact of DevOps, micro services, containers, and AI on global tech giants. Whether you're starting your DevOps journey or deepening your expertise, DevOps Singapore Summit provides actionable strategies to stay ahead in the rapidly changing digital landscape.What to expect at the event:Expect a dynamic agenda that features a combination of keynote speeches, fireside chats, panel discussions, and networking opportunities.

Drone Serang Moscow Ketika Pegawai Tinggi UK Menyoroti Korban Rusia di Ukraine

(SeaPRwire) - KYIV, Ukraine — Serangan drone besar-besaran menggegarkan Moscow dan pinggir bandar pada lewat malam Sabtu hingga Ahad, mencederakan beberapa orang dan menghentikan sementara lalu lintas di beberapa lapangan terbang paling sibuk di Rusia, menurut laporan pihak berkuasa. Sementara itu, gelombang drone Rusia pada waktu malam menyasarkan Ukraine. Ini berlaku selepas Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin menandatangani perjanjian dengan Korea Utara pada Sabtu malam, yang mewajibkan kedua-dua negara untuk memberikan bantuan tentera segera menggunakan "semua cara" jika sama ada diserang. Perjanjian itu menandakan hubungan terkuat antara Moscow dan Pyongyang sejak berakhirnya Perang Dingin. Awal minggu ini, Ukraine melaporkan bahawa pasukannya terlibat buat pertama kalinya dengan unit Korea Utara. Pegawai AS sebelum ini mengesahkan penempatan sekurang-kurangnya 3,000 tentera Korea Utara ke Rusia, sementara Kyiv telah berulang kali mengatakan jumlah itu jauh lebih tinggi. Ini telah menimbulkan kebimbangan mengenai peningkatan ketara dalam perang Moscow terhadap Ukraine, dan ketegangan yang merebak ke Asia-Pasifik. Anggaran UK mengenai kerugian pasukan Rusia ialah 700,000 Kedua-dua Moscow dan Kyiv telah merahsiakan angka korban sejak permulaan perang besar-besaran walaupun laporan tetap mengenai pasukan Rusia mengalami kerugian besar selepas serangan "gelombang manusia" yang bertujuan untuk menguras pertahanan Ukraine. Namun, ketua kakitangan pertahanan UK, Tony Radakin, memberitahu BBC bahawa pasukan Rusia telah mengalami bulan paling buruk mereka dalam jumlah korban pada bulan Oktober sejak pencerobohan besar-besaran ke atas Ukraine pada Februari 2022. Beliau berkata tentera Moscow mengalami purata 1,500 kematian dan cedera setiap hari, menjadikan jumlah kerugian mereka dalam perang itu sebanyak 700,000. Menurut Radakin, rakyat Rusia biasa membayar "harga yang luar biasa" untuk perang itu, walaupun serangan Rusia yang melelahkan selama berbulan-bulan di timur industri Ukraine terus memperoleh keuntungan. Beliau tidak menyatakan bagaimana pihak berkuasa UK telah mengira angka korban Rusia. "Tidak dinafikan bahawa Rusia membuat keuntungan taktikal, wilayah dan itu memberi tekanan kepada Ukraine," katanya. Tetapi beliau menambah bahawa mereka adalah "peningkatan kecil tanah," dan peningkatan perbelanjaan pertahanan dan keselamatan Moscow memberi tekanan yang semakin meningkat kepada negara itu. Radakin menegaskan bahawa rakan kongsi Barat Ukraine harus menyokongnya selama "selamanya" untuk menentang pencerobohan Rusia, walaupun sekutu Presiden Amerika Syarikat yang akan datang Donald Trump telah memberi isyarat bahawa Kyiv mungkin terpaksa menyerahkan wilayah untuk mencari keamanan. Rusia berasa optimis secara berhati-hati mengenai kepresidenan Trump yang akan datang Pada Ahad, jurucakap rasmi Kremlin menyuarakan optimis secara berhati-hati mengenai kepresidenan Trump yang akan datang, dengan berkata: "Sekurang-kurangnya dia bercakap tentang keamanan. … Dia tidak bercakap tentang konfrontasi." "Isyarat itu positif. Trump, semasa kempen pilihan rayanya, berkata bahawa dia melihat semuanya melalui perjanjian, bahawa dia boleh membuat perjanjian yang akan membawa semua orang ke arah keamanan," kata Dmitry Peskov kepada wartawan pada taklimat. "Dia tidak bercakap tentang keinginan untuk mengenakan kekalahan strategik kepada Rusia, dan ini membezakannya dengan baik daripada pentadbiran (AS) semasa," kata Peskov. Tetapi Presiden Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy pada Ahad menegaskan bahawa "keputusan yang kuat" daripada rakan kongsi Barat Kyiv diperlukan untuk menghentikan "keganasan" serangan drone dan peluru berpandu Rusia, dan menjamin "keamanan yang boleh dipercayai" untuk Ukraine. "Pembunuhan kanak-kanak, kehilangan ahli keluarga tidak boleh dilupakan begitu sahaja," kata Zelenskyy dalam catatan di aplikasi mesej Telegram. "Tanpa keputusan yang kuat, tidak ada keselamatan daripada keganasan, dan ini sama jelas di setiap negara. Tidak ada keamanan yang boleh dipercayai tanpa keadilan," katanya. Pertempuran berterusan menyebabkan kerosakan dan korban di kedua-dua belah pihak Pertempuran sengit telah berterusan berhampiran bandar timur Ukraine Toretsk dan Kurakhove, menurut laporan Staf Umum Ukraine pada Ahad. Antara 700 hingga 1,000 penduduk kekal di Kurakhove, sebuah bandar barisan hadapan yang dikelilingi di tiga sisi dan dihancurkan menjadi runtuhan. Kebanyakan mereka tinggal di bawah tanah tanpa air mengalir, pemanasan atau elektrik. Sementara itu, Kementerian Pertahanan Rusia berkata sejumlah 84 drone Ukraine ditembak jatuh semalaman di wilayah Rusia, susulan apa yang dikatakannya sebagai "serangan besar-besaran terhadap infrastruktur awam." Seorang lelaki mati di bawah runtuhan selepas drone menyerang blok pangsapuri di wilayah Belgorod Rusia, hanya beberapa kilometer dari sempadan Ukraine, lapor Gabenor tempatan Vyacheslav Gladkov. Lima orang lagi cedera di pinggir bandar Moscow, Ramenskoe dan sebuah kampung berdekatan, menurut pegawai tempatan. Saluran Rusia di aplikasi mesej Telegram membawa laporan saksi mata tentang serpihan drone yang membakar rumah di pinggir bandar. Pihak berkuasa penerbangan Rusia berkata penerbangan seketika dihentikan di lapangan terbang antarabangsa utama termasuk Sheremetyevo dan Domodedovo. Sekurang-kurangnya 14 penerbangan yang menuju ke Moscow telah dialihkan ke Nizhnyi Novgorod, sebuah bandar lebih 490 kilometer (300 batu) ke timur, menurut wakil lapangan terbang di sana. Staf Umum Ukraine mendakwa pada Ahad bahawa drone Ukraine menyebabkan kebakaran di depot senjata di wilayah Bryansk selatan Rusia, berhampiran Ukraine dan Belarus. Kemas kini dalam talian itu memaparkan gambar yang menunjukkan asap merah tebal naik ke langit malam. AP tidak dapat mengesahkan keadaan di mana ia diambil, dan tidak ada komen segera daripada Rusia. Secara berasingan, Kementerian Kecemasan Rusia pada Ahad berkata kebakaran besar berlaku di sebuah gudang di luar Moscow. Tidak ada laporan segera mengenai korban jiwa, dan tidak jelas sama ada kebakaran itu berkaitan dengan serangan drone Ukraine. Rusia semalaman melancarkan "rekod" 145 drone ke wilayah Ukraine, menurut tentera udara Ukraine, 62 daripadanya ditembak jatuh. 67 lagi "hilang," kata tentera udara, kemungkinan merujuk kepada gangguan elektronik yang menyebabkan drone itu menyimpang dari kursus. Sekurang-kurangnya seorang cedera ketika drone Rusia menyerang kawasan kediaman di pelabuhan selatan Ukraine, Odesa, lapor Gabenor tempatan Oleh Kiper. Dan sekurang-kurangnya lima orang awam, termasuk seorang gadis berusia 17 tahun dan seorang budak lelaki berusia 10 tahun, cedera akibat serpihan drone yang jatuh dan penembakan di wilayah Kharkiv timur laut Ukraine pada Ahad, kata Gabenor Oleh Syniehubov dan pendakwa raya tempatan. Rusia kemudian pada Ahad berkata ia telah menyerang penempatan besar tentera Ukraine di wilayah Kharkiv dengan roket termobar, tetapi tidak segera memberikan bukti.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kate Middleton Hadir Upacara Hari Peringatan Sebagai Tanda Perlahan Kembali Bertugas berita

Kate Middleton Hadir Upacara Hari Peringatan Sebagai Tanda Perlahan Kembali Bertugas

(SeaPRwire) - LONDON — Raja Charles III memimpin negara pada hari Ahad dalam tempoh dua minit senyap untuk memperingati kakitangan tentera yang terkorban di tengah-tengah London ketika Puteri Wales melihat, tanda selanjutnya keluarga diraja perlahan-lahan kembali normal pada akhir tahun di mana dua kerabat diraja yang paling popular disingkirkan oleh kanser. Remembrance Sunday adalah acara totemik di U.K., dengan raja memimpin kerabat diraja kanan, pemimpin politik, termasuk Perdana Menteri Keir Starmer dan lapan pendahulunya yang masih hidup, dan utusan dari negara-negara Komanwel dalam meletakkan karangan bunga di Cenotaph, peringatan batu Portland yang berfungsi sebagai titik fokus untuk menghormati kematian perang negara. Perkhidmatan ini diadakan pada Ahad kedua bulan November untuk menandakan penandatanganan gencatan senjata untuk mengakhiri Perang Dunia I "pada jam kesebelas pada hari kesebelas bulan kesebelas" pada tahun 1918. Di seluruh U.K., perkhidmatan dijalankan pada masa yang sama sebagai peringatan kepada orang mati. Selepas tempoh dua minit senyap, pemain trompet dari Royal Marines memainkan Last Post dan Charles memimpin bahagian meletakkan karangan bunga dalam perkhidmatan. Raja berusia 75 tahun itu, berpakaian seragam Royal Navy Admiral of the Fleet, meletakkan karangan bunga poppy di pangkal Cenotaph sebagai pengiktirafan kepada mereka yang terkorban dalam konflik sejak Perang Dunia I. Putera sulungnya dan pewaris takhta, William, meninggalkan penghormatan bunga sendiri - menampilkan bulu Putera Wales dan reben baru dalam warna merah Wales. Berpakaian hitam yang muram, isterinya, Kate, melihat dari balkoni Pejabat Luar Negeri, Komanwel & Pembangunan berdekatan, seperti tradisi. Ratu Camilla, yang biasanya akan berdiri di sebelah puteri, tidak hadir kerana dia pulih dari jangkitan dada. Ini adalah kali pertama sejak awal tahun ini Kate menjalankan dua hari berturut-turut penglibatan rasmi awam. Pada hari Sabtu, dia menghadiri Royal British Legion Festival Of Remembrance di Royal Albert Hall. Selepas meletakkan karangan bunga, sekitar 10,000 veteran, termasuk mereka yang telah berjuang dalam peperangan pada abad ini, terutamanya di Afghanistan dan Iraq, berarak melewati Cenotaph. Dengan perjalanan masa, hanya segelintir veteran Perang Dunia II yang hadir. Peranan istiadat Charles sebagai panglima tertinggi angkatan tentera adalah peninggalan dari zaman ketika raja memimpin pasukannya ke medan perang. Tetapi hubungan antara monarki dan tentera masih sangat kuat, dengan anggota tentera membuat ikrar taat setia kepada raja dan ahli keluarga diraja menyokong anggota tentera melalui pelbagai badan amal. Charles dan William berkhidmat secara aktif dalam tentera sebelum menjalankan tugas diraja sepenuh masa. "Mereka menunjukkan rasa hormat kepada kami, seperti yang telah kami tunjukkan kepada mereka dengan berkhidmat," kata Victor Needham-Crofton, 91, seorang veteran tentera yang berkhidmat semasa Krisis Suez 1956 dan kemudian di Kenya. Charles didiagnosis menghidap kanser yang tidak dinyatakan pada bulan Februari, memaksanya untuk menarik diri dari penampilan awam selama dua bulan ketika dia fokus pada rawatan dan pemulihannya. Hanya beberapa minggu kemudian, Kate mengumumkan diagnosis kansernya sendiri, yang mengasingkannya selama sebahagian besar tahun ketika dia menjalani kemoterapi. Raja telah berada dalam keadaan baik dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini dan baru-baru ini menyelesaikan perjalanan yang melelahkan ke Australia dan Samoa. Kate, yang membuat penampilan awam pertamanya selepas diagnosis semasa perarakan ulang tahun raja pada bulan Jun, perlahan-lahan kembali kepada tugas awam. Putera William merenungkan minggu ini mengenai ketegangan yang ditimbulkan oleh ketakutan kanser terhadap keluarga diraja. "Saya begitu bangga dengan isteri saya, saya bangga dengan ayah saya, kerana mengendalikan perkara yang telah mereka lakukan," kata William kepada wartawan pada hari Khamis ketika dia menamatkan lawatan empat hari ke Afrika Selatan. "Tetapi dari sudut pandangan keluarga peribadi, ia telah, ya, ia telah brutal." Walaupun Cenotaph menjadi tumpuan perkhidmatan peringatan kebangsaan, komuniti di seluruh U.K. mengadakan majlis mereka sendiri pada hari Ahad. Needham-Crofton, yang berkhidmat bersama Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers sebelum kemalangan trak menamatkan karier tenteranya, merancang untuk menghadiri perkhidmatan tempatan di Eastbourne di pantai selatan England. Dia telah menghabiskan sebahagian besar waktunya untuk menghormati veteran dan cuba membantu mereka, termasuk 20 tahun sebagai sukarelawan untuk Taxi Charity for Military Veterans. Seperti beberapa tugas tenteranya, mengumpul wang agak melelahkan kerana ia melibatkan berdiri di hadapan stesen kereta api bawah tanah London mengutip syiling untuk membantu membiayai usaha kumpulan itu. "Saya suka menghormati semua veteran dan melakukan apa yang saya boleh untuk mereka," katanya kepada The Associated Press. "Ia adalah persaudaraan sebenarnya. Walaupun anda tidak mengenali veteran yang anda temui, anda merasakan hubungan terhadap mereka. Itu sangat penting bagi saya. Saya akan seperti itu sepanjang hayat saya."'Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Bagaimana Memperbaiki Sistem Pilihan Raya Amerika yang Rusak berita

Bagaimana Memperbaiki Sistem Pilihan Raya Amerika yang Rusak

(SeaPRwire) - Pilihan raya Amerika Syarikat yang berisiko tinggi minggu ini sedang berlangsung untuk menyamai rekod 66% yang dicatat empat tahun lalu, dan mengatasi kadar keluar mengundi pilihan raya pertengahan yang secara rutin lebih rendah yang mencapai puncak pada 49% pada tahun 2018. Tetapi seperti rekod, ini kelihatan menyedihkan jika anda menganggap bahawa banyak demokrasi mendekati pengundi mereka untuk pergi ke pusat pengundian. Dengan antara satu pertiga atau separuh daripada semua pengundi yang memutuskan untuk tinggal di rumah, dan kebanyakan pengundi menyatakan ketidakpuasan dengan pilihan yang ditawarkan kepada mereka di peti undi, adalah berbaloi untuk mengambil langkah ke belakang untuk memahami bagaimana Amerika memilih pemimpinnya. Pilihan ini bukan sahaja meninggalkan orang ramai dengan politik, tetapi juga menolak orang ramai daripada demokrasi kita dan membuka pintu kepada calon yang semakin melampau. Sistem pilihan raya Amerika Syarikat kekal sebagai antara demokrasi. Daripada memilih seorang wakil tunggal dari sebuah daerah, kebanyakan demokrasi memilih beberapa wakil dari setiap daerah mengikut perkadaran undi yang diterima oleh setiap parti. Jadi, sebagai contoh, dalam sebuah daerah dengan lima ahli, jika sebuah parti mendapat 40% undi, ia akan mendapat dua daripada lima kerusi. Sistem jenis ini dipanggil . Kebanyakan demokrasi telah menerima pakai perkadaran berpuluh-puluh tahun yang lalu—dan untuk alasan yang baik. Ini kerana apabila pilihan raya lebih , lebih ramai pengundi akan keluar kerana mereka fikir suara mereka benar-benar penting. Jadi tidak menghairankan bahawa kadar keluar mengundi Amerika Syarikat sangat teruk. Setiap kitaran, sekurang-kurangnya empat daripada lima daerah kongres adalah untuk penyandangnya. Di seluruh negara, tujuh daripada 10 perlumbaan dalam pilihan raya umum adalah , termasuk hampir separuh daripada perlumbaan perundangan negeri dan lima peratus daripada perlumbaan kongres di mana hanya satu calon berada di kertas undi. Ketiadaan persaingan ini adalah salah satu daripada pilihan kita untuk memilih wakil dari daerah beranggota tunggal. Dan punca untuk ini bukan gerrymandering. Bahkan negeri-negeri yang telah mencipta suruhanjaya pembahagian semula daerah bebas untuk mengelakkan gerrymandering parti masih kebanyakannya . Memandangkan orang Amerika terus diri mereka secara geografi di kawasan Merah atau Biru, kelompok semula jadi yang dikuasai oleh satu parti semakin muncul. Dalam beberapa kes, geografi tempat dan cara orang ramai hidup menjadikan mustahil untuk melukis daerah beranggota tunggal yang memberi peluang yang adil kepada minoriti parti atau kaum untuk diwakili. Lihatlah Massachusetts dan Oklahoma. Sebanyak satu pertiga pengundi di Oklahoma adalah Demokrat, tetapi kesemua lima kerusi kongresnya dimenangi oleh Republikan. Dan satu pertiga pengundi di Massachusetts adalah Republikan, tetapi kesemua sembilan kerusi kongres negeri itu dimenangi oleh Demokrat. Dan bukan kerana Massachusetts melukis daerah yang merugikan Republikan—ia kerana anda tidak boleh melukis daerah beranggota tunggal di negeri itu yang akan mengundi seorang Republikan. Malah, penyelidik bahawa “[w]alaupun terdapat lebih banyak cara untuk membina pelan pembahagian semula daerah yang sah daripada zarah dalam galaksi, setiap satunya akan menghasilkan delegasi Demokrat 9–0.” Dengan kata lain, melukis daerah beranggota tunggal secara berbeza tidak mencukupi—kita perlu memikirkan semula peta sepenuhnya. Terdapat reformasi yang munasabah yang boleh membantu menyelesaikan masalah ini. Beralih daripada daerah beranggota tunggal kepada perwakilan berkadar akan memaksa Demokrat dan Republikan untuk bersaing dalam lebih banyak daerah, menggalakkan calon lain untuk bertanding, dan meningkatkan kadar keluar mengundi kerana pengundi mempunyai pilihan yang sebenar. Ia juga untuk daerah di bawah perwakilan berkadar. Berita baiknya ialah dan merentasi banyak , reformasi ini boleh diterima pakai melalui perubahan undang-undang yang mudah. Dan di peringkat negeri, membenarkan pengundi untuk mengubah perlembagaan di peti undi. Perwakilan berkadar telah dicuba sebelum ini. Illinois menggunakan sistem separa berkadar selama lebih daripada selepas Perang Saudara. Wakil untuk Dewan Negeri dipilih dari daerah beranggota tiga, kira-kira mengikut perkadaran undi yang dibuat. Jika seorang calon dapat memperoleh lebih daripada suku undi, mereka biasanya dapat memenangi salah satu kerusi dalam daerah itu. Keputusan di Illinois pengalaman demokrasi lain dengan sistem berkadar—pilihan raya biasanya lebih , dan minoriti dapat perwakilan yang mencerminkan jumlah mereka dengan lebih baik. Malangnya, Illinois memansuhkan sistem pengundian berkadarnya pada tahun 1980, dan bahagian perlumbaan Dewan Negeri yang tidak dipertandingkan meningkat daripada sejak itu kepada tahun ini. Ramai orang Amerika marah dengan sistem pilihan raya. Mereka tidak mempercayai institusi demokratik kita. Mereka letih dengan pilihan atau kekurangan pilihan yang ditawarkannya. Tetapi tidak semestinya begini. Soalannya ialah: Adakah orang ramai cukup marah untuk meluluskan reformasi—seperti perwakilan berkadar—yang dapat melakukan beberapa perubahan besar untuk akhirnya memperbaikinya? Demokrasi kita mungkin bergantung pada jawapannya. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kenali Susie Wiles, Ketua Staf Rumah Putih yang Akan Datang yang Dilantik Trump berita

Kenali Susie Wiles, Ketua Staf Rumah Putih yang Akan Datang yang Dilantik Trump

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden terpilih Donald Trump membuat pelantikan pertama yang penting sejak minggu ini, dengan satu pilihan bersejarah. Beliau melantik Susie Wiles sebagai ketua kakitangan Rumah Putih, menjadikan beliau wanita pertama yang dilantik ke jawatan ini. Wiles, pengurus kempen Trump bagi kempen 2024 beliau, telah mendapat pengiktirafan yang meluas. The New York Times telah menggambarkan beliau sebagai "mungkin suara paling penting di dalam kempen presiden ketiga Encik Trump." Wakil Florida dari Parti Demokrat, Jared Moskowitz telah menyerlahkan keberkesanan strategi Wiles, baik dalam kes Trump dan dalam kempen-kempen sebelumnya di seluruh Florida. "Jika anda tidak mengenalnya, anda akan mengenalnya tidak lama lagi, tetapi Susie akan dikenang sebagai salah seorang ahli strategi kempen terhebat," katanya. "Kerugian kepada Demokrat, beliau telah menjadi sebahagian daripada semua kempen yang menang di Florida." Trump juga mengucapkan terima kasih kepada Wiles semasa ucapan kemenangan awalnya pada malam Selasa. "Izinkan saya juga mengucapkan terima kasih yang tidak terhingga kepada Susie dan Chris—tugas yang anda laksanakan. Marilah, Susie," kata Trump, memanggil Wiles dan merujuk kepada pengurus bersama kempennya, Chris LaCivita. "Susie suka berada di belakang tabir, biar saya beritahu anda. Kami memanggilnya gadis ais." Berikut adalah apa yang perlu anda ketahui tentang Wiles, yang telah memantapkan dirinya sebagai salah seorang penasihat paling dipercayai Trump dan akan menjadi orang yang rapat dengan Presiden terpilih ketika beliau kembali ke Rumah Putih. Wiles mempunyai sejarah panjang bekerja untuk ahli politik Republik dan kempen mereka Wanita berusia 67 tahun ini mempunyai sejarah selama beberapa dekad sebagai ahli strategi Republik dan kakitangan kempen. Beliau pernah bekerja di bawah bekas Wakil New York yang sudah meninggal dunia, Jack Kemp pada tahun 1970-an sebelum bekerja dalam kempen presiden Ronald Reagan pada tahun 1980. Beliau kemudiannya bekerja untuk Datuk Bandar Jacksonville John Delaney dan John Peyton. Wiles menjadi ahli strategi yang mahir dan berpengalaman dalam kempen di Florida, mengendalikan kempen Senator Rick Scott yang berjaya untuk jawatan Gabenor negeri itu pada tahun 2010. Beliau juga pernah bekerja secara ringkas mengendalikan kempen presiden 2012 bekas Gabenor Utah, Jon Huntsman, yang kemudiannya mengecam Trump secara tajam selepas peristiwa 6 Januari 2021. Selepas kemenangan Trump pada tahun 2016, Wiles memilih untuk tinggal di Florida dan mengendalikan kempen Gabenor Florida, Ron DeSantis yang berjaya untuk jawatan Gabenor. Namun begitu, beliau juga telah dikecewakan kerana mengapa Trump akhirnya menjadi calon utama GOP 2024, bukan DeSantis. Pada hari DeSantis menamatkan tawaran presidennya, Wiles telah menyiarkan "Bye, bye" di X (dahulunya Twitter). Wiles membantu Trump memenangi Florida pada tahun 2016 dan semakin penting sejak itu Wiles menyertai kempen 2016 Trump di Florida, khususnya mengendalikan operasi yang akhirnya membantunya memenangi negeri itu, mendaratkan satu kemenangan. Walaupun Wiles jarang bercakap di khalayak ramai—Trump telah berkata dalam ucapan kemenangannya pada malam Selasa bahawa beliau "suka berada di belakang tabir"—beliau telah bercakap kepada The Washington Post semasa kitaran pilihan raya 2016, menjelaskan bahawa beliau memilih untuk bekerja untuk Trump kerana beliau mewakili perubahan di Washington yang beliau percaya adalah perlu. Beliau berpendapat calon-calon lain mewakili status quo Republik yang tidak ingin diteruskannya. "Saya berkata, 'Saya tidak mahu perkara ini berterusan.' Saya fikir ia benar-benar akan merosakkan republik kita dan siapa di antara kumpulan itu yang benar-benar boleh mempunyai keberanian untuk mengubah apa yang saya telah lihat berlaku selama bertahun-tahun?" Wiles dipetik sebagai berkata. Pada tahun 2019, dilaporkan bahawa beliau telah menggalakkan Trump untuk berundur daripada jawatannya —dan berjaya. Tetapi Wiles kembali ke bulatan dalaman Trump, mengendalikan sebahagian besar operasinya di Negeri Matahari, meningkat ke peranannya sebagai pengurus kempen kanan semasa kempen 2024. Kepentingannya telah dilaporkan menjadikan beliau sasaran kepada percubaan untuk menurunkan beliau. Kehidupan Wiles di luar kempen Dilahirkan di New Jersey, Wiles berasal daripada keluarga yang ternama, jauh sebelum kerjanya dalam bidang politik bermula. Bapa Wiles ialah bekas pemain NFL legenda yang kemudiannya menjadi penyiar, Pat Summerall. Wiles telah berkahwin dengan bekas kakitangan Reagan dan perunding Republik, Lanny Wiles, dan kedua-duanya berpindah ke pinggir bandar Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra Beach. Pasangan ini berkongsi dua anak perempuan dan bercerai pada tahun 2017, selepas bertahun-tahun berkahwin.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

The three-day Fair attracted over 8,200 trade buyers from 61 countries and regions. Yesterday’s public day attracted over 10,000 visitors aged 18 and above, who enjoyed fine alcoholic beverages from around the world and participated in master classes, tasting sessions, and seminars in the Wine Fiesta zone. This reflects the Fair’s important role as a trade and promotional platform.Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year's Fair has attracted over 8,200 trade buyers. The number of buyers from some countries and regions increased, including ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China and more. Global buyers are keen to come to Hong Kong to participate in the Wine and Spirits Fair, promoting Hong Kong as a regional trading hub for wines and spirits.”Ms Chong added: “The latest Policy Address announced a lower duty rate for liquor, which is expected to enhance the trade of high-end spirits. More than one quarter of exhibitors at the Fair brought spirits from around the world, including Chinese baijiu, whisky, vodka, brandy and more. We are glad to see that so many exhibitors and buyers interacted with each other, seizing the business opportunities brought about by the new policy.”Importers, wholesalers, retailers and e-commerce buyers who attended the Fair included: Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies from the United Kingdom; Grupo Alpom Importaciones SL from Spain; Le Clos (MMI) from the United Arab Emirates; ASC Fine Wine (Shanghai) Ltd, Beijing WJ E-Commerce Co, Ltd. and Vinehoo (Chongqing) Co.

Exhibitors are capitalising on the Government's reduction in liquor duty to expand their business opportunities.Guizhou Jin Jiao Liquor Industry (Group) Co,. Ltd which specialises in high-end Chinese baijiu, reached a strategic agreement with Hong Kong distributor Wines up Shoppers Group. Guizhou Jin Jiao Liquor’s CEO Xu Xinzhou said that the anticipated collaboration amount is expected to reach at least RMB10 million in one year, helping the company expand its overseas market. Matthew Lun, CEO from Wines up Shoppers, said, “Chinese baijiu holds significant potential in the global Chinese market. We plan to capitalise on the Government’s recent reduction in liquor tax to tap into this market and promote Chinese baijiu, a traditional cultural product, throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.” Guizhou Jin Jiao also identified another Hong Kong buyer through the Fair, aiming to distribute its baijiu in Hong Kong. The two parties will negotiate a first-year business agreement valued at around RMB2 million.Irish whiskey exhibitor Clonakilty Distillery Ltd made its first appearance at the Fair. Company founder Michael Scully said that they have identified about 30 potential buyers from around the world within a day and a half. “The slashing of liquor tax is excellent news, demonstrating to the world that Hong Kong is dedicated to establishing itself as a trading hub for premium wines and spirits in Asia,” he said.“We met a major buyer who distributes alcoholic beverages in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, and we expect him to place an initial order of around EUR100,000 in which some of the high-end whiskies will benefit from the new taxation and enjoy a lower tax rate while being imported to Hong Kong. We believe that the tax reduction has significantly increased the interest of buyers.” Mr Scully also estimated that he could secure orders worth approximately EUR1 million within a few years through the Fair.50 events were held during the Fair, with 12 of these related to spirits. At a seminar themed "A Review and Outlook of the HK Spirits Market (Taste Changes and Taxation)", speakers noted that Hong Kong's reduction of duty on high-end spirits has prompted many businesses in the industry to immediately lower their prices, which helps stimulate demand for spirits.The Fair also presented fine wines from Mainland China, including wines from Ningxia, Yantai in Shandong, Xinjiang and Yunnan, as well as yellow wine from Shaoxing. Chateau Xianghai, a wine exhibitor from Xinjiang, connected with potential buyers from the United States as well as Malaysia and Vietnam from the ASEAN Region.
