Mengapa Restoran Rantai Sit-Down Sedang Bergelut berita

Mengapa Restoran Rantai Sit-Down Sedang Bergelut

November 6, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Red Lobster telah memfailkan kebankrapan pada bulan Mei. TGI Fridays ditutup secara tiba-tiba pada bulan Oktober, kemudian pada awal November. Hooters ditutup pada bulan Jun, sementara Buca di Beppo pada bulan Ogos. Malah Denny's, sebuah restoran bajet yang popular, telah menyatakan pada bulan Oktober bahawa mereka akan mengurangkan bilangan restorannya dalam tempoh dua tahun akan datang, dengan alasan "keadaan ekonomi yang tidak menentu" dan peningkatan pesat inflasi makanan di luar rumah. Restoran rantaian duduk mungkin merupakan perniagaan Amerika yang paling penting, bermula dengan pengembangan Howard Johnson selepas Perang Dunia Kedua ketika keluarga mula memandu kereta dan melancong. Tetapi ekonomi sedang mencabar model perniagaan ini. Walaupun inflasi semakin perlahan, pengguna yang mementingkan kos semakin banyak makan di rumah atau di restoran makanan segera yang lebih murah, di mana purata bil ialah $7.92, kira-kira separuh daripada purata bil di restoran duduk, menurut CREST, pangkalan data dari firma pandangan pengguna Circana. Banyak restoran rantaian duduk (atau perkhidmatan penuh) telah memasuki iklim ekonomi ini dengan hutang yang tinggi, dan kini sedang bergelut untuk kekal beroperasi. “Banyak syarikat ini mendapati bahawa jualan mereka tidak sekuat jangkaan,” kata Jim Sanderson, penganalisis industri restoran untuk Northcoast Research. Trafik pelanggan di restoran perkhidmatan penuh pada suku ketiga tahun 2024 turun 3% daripada tahun sebelumnya dan 17% lebih rendah daripada tempoh yang sama pada tahun 2019, menurut CREST. Sebahagian daripada masalahnya ialah kos buruh terus meningkat tetapi pengguna yang letih dengan inflasi tidak bersedia untuk membayar lebih untuk makanan restoran, kata Sanderson. Hampir semua pemilik restoran yang disoal siasat oleh Persatuan Restoran Kebangsaan tahun ini mengatakan bahawa kos buruh yang lebih tinggi adalah “ancaman besar” bagi perniagaan mereka. Restoran dahulu-kala menghabiskan 30-35% daripada jualan kasar untuk tenaga kerja. Sekarang banyak yang menghabiskan 40% hingga 45%, menurut , pengasas bersama kumpulan hospitaliti Maverick Theory. Satu lagi isu ialah banyak restoran ini kini dimiliki oleh kumpulan ekuiti swasta yang telah meminjam banyak wang untuk pengambilalihan mereka dan tidak melihat aliran tunai yang mereka perlukan untuk mencapai keuntungan. TGI Fridays, Red Lobster, dan P.F. Chang’s semuanya telah dibeli oleh kumpulan ekuiti swasta dalam dekad yang lalu. TGI Fridays mempunyai 58% lebih sedikit restoran berbanding tahun 2019, dan Hooters mempunyai 23% lebih sedikit, menurut data dari firma penyelidikan industri Technomic. “Jika anda menggabungkan margin restoran yang berada di bawah tekanan dengan keadaan kewangan yang tidak menentu, anda hanya memerlukan satu atau dua perkara yang salah,” kata Sara Senatore, penganalisis kanan yang mencakupi restoran di Bank of America. Restoran rantaian dahulu-kala merupakan perniagaan yang agak stabil, jadi pemilik ekuiti swasta mempunyai idea yang baik tentang berapa kos dan jualan akan menjadi, katanya, tetapi pandemik menjadikan perniagaan itu jauh lebih tidak menentu. Sesetengah restoran cuba mendapatkan semula perniagaan dengan menawarkan diskaun besar-besaran untuk makanan atau promosi makan sepuas hati, yang hanya mengurangkan keuntungan mereka, kata Dan Rowe, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif dan pengasas Fransmart, kumpulan pembangunan francais. “Ia tidak mampan,” katanya. Red Lobster terkenal menawarkan tawaran udang sebelum ia memfailkan kebankrapan. Terdapat satu kisah kejayaan, kata penganalisis: Chili’s, yang dimiliki oleh syarikat awam Brinker International, yang mendapat Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif baharu pada tahun 2022. Syarikat itu mengubah menunya, membuang banyak item dan memberi tumpuan kepada beberapa makanan asas, termasuk burger, fajitas, dan margarita. Ia menjadi lebih baik dalam media sosial dan pengiklanan sehingga apabila pelanggan datang ke restoran, mereka terkejut dengan menu yang baharu dan dipertingkatkan. Syarikat itu juga melancarkan strategi “barbell” di mana ia menawarkan tawaran besar untuk menarik pelanggan dan produk premium untuk membuat mereka berbelanja. Chili’s juga melabur semula dalam buruh, memastikan restoran dipenuhi kakitangan supaya tetamu tidak menghadapi masa menunggu yang lama. Dalam suku terkini, jualan Chili's meningkat 14%. “Kita mula melihat sedikit harapan,” kata Sanderson, “dengan beberapa restoran mendapati terdapat cara untuk menarik semula pelanggan.” Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Dr. Friend Proposes the Potential for Non-Pharmacological Improvement of Sleep Disorders, Published in an International SCI-Level Journal SeaPRwire

Dr. Friend Proposes the Potential for Non-Pharmacological Improvement of Sleep Disorders, Published in an International SCI-Level Journal

November 6, 2024
Seoul, Korea – November 06, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Dr. Friend (https://worldhome.global/) unveils solutions for Non-Pharmacological improvement of sleep disorders. Related link: https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/25/18/9791 – Paper published in the international SCI-level International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) on the ‘Effects of Grounding Mat on sleep quality’, suggesting potential for improving sleep quality. – Indicates that Grounding Mat could be a useful non-pharmacological method for improving sleep disorders, raising expectations for further research. – Grounding is expected to help achieve deeper, more restful sleep by reducing the effects of electromagnetic waves from external factors like computers and smartphones, enhancing the body’s natural recovery abilities. A study proving the effectiveness of the Grounding mat developed by the premium sleep and healthcare brand Dr. Friend in improving sleep quality has been published in the prestigious international SCI-level journal International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS). The study suggests that grounding Mat could be a possible non-pharmacological solution for improving sleep disorders, drawing attention as a method to reduce the influence of external factors commonly encountered in modern society, such as electromagnetic waves, to promote deeper and more comfortable sleep. Dr. Friend, in collaboration with Kyung Hee University Medical School, conducted this study. The participants were divided into four groups to measure sleep quality: a normal control group, a 7-day grounding group, a 21-day grounding group, and an electrical exposure group. Changes were analyzed in waking time, REM and non-REM sleep times, and the levels of orexin hormone involved in the sleep-wake cycle. According to the results, the group that used the Grounding mat for 21 days showed a significant improvement in sleep quality, with a 15% reduction in waking time, an 80% increase in REM sleep time, and a 78% increase in non-REM sleep time. Compared to the control group, these results demonstrate a positive overall sleep depth and quality improvement.. Conversely, the electrical exposure group exposed to electromagnetic waves showed a 7% increase in waking time, indicating that electromagnetic waves could deteriorate sleep quality. This highlights the need for Grounding Mat to reduce the negative effects of electronic devices in modern society. Notable changes were also observed in the levels of the orexin hormone. Orexin plays a critical role in maintaining wakefulness, and excessive secretion can interfere with sleep. The study found that the group that used the Grounding Mat for 7 days experienced a 33% reduction in orexin levels, while the group that used it for 21 days showed a 46% reduction. This proves that the Grounding Mat could contribute to improving sleep quality by suppressing orexin secretion. In addition, the level of the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) increased by about 20% in the 21-day grounding group. SOD plays a crucial role in reducing oxidative stress and protecting the body’s cells. This result is considered significant in that the grounding mat may help reduce oxidative stress and strengthen the immune system. Regarding this study, Dr. Friend’s CEO, Yong-suk Kim, stated, “So far, benzodiazepines and barbiturates have been commonly used to address sleep disorders and insomnia, but these drugs are accompanied by side effects such as dependency, cognitive impairment, and residual sedative effects during the day, making them difficult to be considered a fundamental solution. This study demonstrated the Grounding Mat’s potential as a non-pharmacological sleep improvement method with few side effects.” He added, “Dr. Friend will continue to develop various research and products that help promote preventive health improvement through healthy sleep, based on the 30 years of accumulated sleep and healthcare technology.” Through the publication of this paper, Dr. Friend scientifically proved the practical effects of the Grounding Mat in improving sleep quality, widely promoting its potential as a non-pharmacological sleep treatment. Based on this research outcome, Dr. Friend plans to position itself as a global healthcare solution brand that supports healthy sleep and preventive health improvement. This study, in particular, is the second paper published in an SCI-level journal, further enhancing the reliability of Dr. Friend’s technology and products. Dr. Friend will continue its research and development to help consumers experience healthy sleep daily and pursue a better quality of life.

Apa Maksudnya Seorang Wanita Menjadi Presiden berita

Apa Maksudnya Seorang Wanita Menjadi Presiden

November 6, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - Nenek saya dulu tinggal di sebuah rumah berwarna coklat di bahagian utara New York. Ruang tamu berwarna coklat, bilik mandi berwarna coklat, bilik tidur berwarna coklat. Ia berwarna coklat kerana datuk saya yang menentukan, dan cat berwarna coklat dijual murah. Nenek saya masih ingat memakai sarung tangan untuk pergi ke bank untuk menulis cek pada tahun 1950-an, dan ditanya sama ada dia sudah berkahwin sebelum dia boleh mengakses akaun itu. Walaupun wang dalam akaun bank itu miliknya. Sekarang dia berusia 90 tahun, rumahnya berwarna hijau limau dan tangerin, dan dia menulis banyak cek. Tetapi ketika saya menghubunginya baru-baru ini untuk bertanya sama ada dia pernah berfikir bahawa dia akan melihat seorang wanita Presiden dalam hidupnya, dia terdiam sebentar sebelum menjawab: "Tidak." Nenek saya dilahirkan kira-kira 10 tahun selepas wanita mendapat hak untuk mengundi. Sepanjang hidupnya, dia telah menyaksikan pengenalan mesin basuh, penciptaan pil kawalan kelahiran, revolusi seksual, dan kemasukan wanita ke dalam tenaga kerja. Sekarang, dia mungkin hidup cukup lama untuk melihat seorang wanita dipilih menjadi Presiden Amerika Syarikat. Ketika Hari Pilihan Raya 2024 menjelang, Kamala Harris berada di ambang sejarah. Tinjauan menunjukkan perlumbaan antara Naib Presiden dan Donald Trump lebih kurang seri di tujuh negeri medan perang utama. Sama ada calon boleh menang. Tetapi dalam jam-jam terakhir perlumbaan, kempen Harris percaya bahawa dia mempunyai kelebihan. Bagi Demokrat, dan khususnya mereka yang cuba dan gagal untuk memilih Hillary Clinton sebagai wanita Presiden pertama pada tahun 2016, ia adalah satu saat optimis yang menakutkan, dengan penyokong Harris berayun antara harapan yang megah dan ketakutan yang sepenuhnya, bergantung pada waktu dan kecenderungan tinjauan terkini. Dalam jam-jam terakhir ini, kebanyakan wanita yang saya temui telah menetapkan diri mereka dalam satu bentuk pertahanan emosi: mereka berharap, tetapi mereka takut untuk berharap. "Ini membuat saya ingin muntah," kata seorang yang telah bertahun-tahun bekerja untuk memilih wanita Demokrat ke jawatan. "Saya akan menangis lagi, kan?" kata seorang lagi yang bekerja dalam kempen Clinton pada tahun 2016. Salah satu ironi utama dalam kempen Harris yang singkat ialah dia hampir tidak pernah menyebut bahawa dia akan menjadi wanita pertama yang dipilih menjadi Presiden Amerika Syarikat. Ia terlalu jauh di luar mesej dan strategi kempennya sehingga kadang-kadang ia kelihatan seperti dia mahu mengelakkan untuk menekankan jantinanya sama sekali. Memecahkan apa yang pernah dipanggil Clinton sebagai "silinder kaca tertinggi dan paling sukar" seolah-olah menjadi perkara terakhir yang ingin dibincangkan oleh kempen Harris. "Saya banyak memikirkan Malam Pilihan Raya pada tahun 2016, dan perasaan keseluruhan seperti: Oh, gadis-gadis kecil akan melihat bahawa mereka tidak pernah menjadi presiden," kata Amanda Litman, yang bekerja dalam kempen Clinton sebelum melancarkan Run for Something, yang membantu memilih golongan muda ke jawatan. "Dan budak-budak lelaki akan melihat bahawa mereka boleh bertindak seperti dia dan masih menjadi presiden." Litman teringat memikirkan selepas tahun 2016 bahawa Demokrat tidak akan pernah memilih wanita Presiden, atau sekurang-kurangnya tidak dalam masa terdekat. "Jika Hillary Clinton tidak dapat menang—calon Presiden yang paling berjaya dan berkelayakan, secara asasnya pernah—dalam dunia apa kita akan mendapat peluang lain?" katanya. "Kerana orang akan menyalahkan kekalahannya atas jantinanya, dan mereka melakukannya." Tetapi banyak perkara telah berubah sejak tahun 2016. Kekalahan Clinton—dan kemenangan Trump—menyambut era baru bagi wanita Amerika. Mereka berarak di jalanan dan membentuk kumpulan rintangan. Mereka membantu memilih jumlah wanita yang memecahkan rekod ke Kongres pada tahun 2018. Mereka memaksa perhitungan sosial tentang seks dan kuasa dengan gerakan #MeToo. Mereka membuat filem berbilion dolar dan melancarkan jelajah pop yang menyokong ekonomi kecil. Mereka kehilangan hak pengguguran dengan keputusan Dobbs, kemudian menganjurkan demonstrasi yang membantu Demokrat mengatasi prestasi di pilihan raya sejak itu. Harris berada di ambang sejarah sebahagian besarnya kerana berjuta-juta wanita yang telah mengangkatnya ke sana. "Memilih seorang wanita bermakna lebih banyak sekarang daripada pada tahun 2016," kata Jenna Lowenstein, yang merupakan pengarah digital Clinton dalam kempen itu. "Ada lebih banyak yang dipertaruhkan selepas Dobbs, dan realiti presiden Trump adalah kenangan yang jelas." Bagi wanita Demokrat yang telah menghabiskan hidup mereka untuk cuba memilih wanita lain ke jawatan, kemenangan Harris akan menjadi pembenaran muktamad untuk apa yang pernah dianggap sebagai matlamat yang mustahil. Bukan sekadar Harris seorang wanita, kata mereka. Ia adalah dia yang telah mengangkat isu-isu seperti kebebasan reproduktif, ekonomi penjagaan, dan kematian ibu, menjadikannya teras visi ekonominya. "Ia bukan kebetulan bahawa kita mempunyai seorang wanita yang memimpin dalam hal itu," kata jurucakap EMILYs List, Christina Reynolds, yang menyatakan bahawa Harris memfokuskan pada kematian ibu sebagai Senator dan hak pengguguran sebagai Naib Presiden. "Dia sentiasa menjadi seseorang yang melihat perkara-perkara ini yang dilihat sebagai 'isu wanita' sebagai isu ekonomi yang luas yang memberi kesan kepada seluruh cara hidup kita." Apa pun yang berlaku, hakikat bahawa Harris begitu dekat dengan jawatan presiden bermakna sesuatu telah berubah di Amerika. "Pintu telah terbuka," kata nenek saya, bercakap dengan saya dari rumahnya di pinggir bandar Illinois, di mana dia duduk di sofa bertitik-titik polka, di ruang tamunya berwarna merah jambu getah, dikelilingi oleh lukisan rakyat oleh artis wanita. "Dan ia tidak akan pernah tertutup lagi. Tidak pernah."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Korea Utara Melancarkan Pelbagai Ujian Peluru Berpandu sebagai Pameran Kekuatan pada Hari Pilihan Raya Amerika Syarikat berita

Korea Utara Melancarkan Pelbagai Ujian Peluru Berpandu sebagai Pameran Kekuatan pada Hari Pilihan Raya Amerika Syarikat

November 5, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - SEOUL, Korea Selatan — Korea Utara pada hari Selasa telah melancarkan beberapa peluru berpandu balistik jarak pendek ke arah timur laut, kata tentera Korea Selatan, ketika negara itu meneruskan demonstrasi senjata berjam-jam sebelum pilihan raya presiden AS. Markas Bersama Ketua Staf Korea Selatan tidak serta-merta menyatakan bilangan peluru berpandu yang dikesan atau sejauh mana peluru berpandu itu terbang. Kementerian Pertahanan Jepun berkata peluru berpandu itu dipercayai telah mendarat di laut dan tiada laporan kerosakan segera. Pelancaran itu berlaku beberapa hari selepas pemimpin Korea Utara Kim Jong Un menyelia ujian penerbangan peluru berpandu balistik antara benua terbaru negara itu yang direka untuk mencapai tanah besar AS. Sebagai tindak balas kepada pelancaran itu, Amerika Syarikat telah menerbangkan pengebom B-1B jarak jauh dalam latihan tiga hala bersama Korea Selatan dan Jepun pada hari Ahad sebagai demonstrasi kekuatan. Itu mencetuskan kecaman daripada adik perempuan Kim yang berkuasa, yang pada hari Selasa menuduh musuh Korea Utara meningkatkan ketegangan dengan "ancaman ketenteraan yang agresif dan berani." Pegawai Korea Selatan telah mengatakan bahawa Korea Utara mungkin meningkatkan pameran ketenteraannya sekitar pilihan raya presiden AS untuk menarik perhatian Washington. Agensi perisikan tentera Korea Selatan berkata minggu lalu bahawa Korea Utara juga mungkin telah menyelesaikan persediaan untuk ujian nuklear ketujuhnya. Pegawai luar dan penganalisis berkata Korea Utara akhirnya berharap dapat menggunakan senjata nuklear yang diperluaskan sebagai pengaruh untuk mendapatkan konsesi seperti pelepasan sekatan selepas presiden AS yang baru dipilih. Terdapat pandangan meluas bahawa Kim lebih suka kemenangan oleh calon Republikan , yang dengannya dia terlibat dalam diplomasi nuklear berisiko tinggi pada 2018-19, menganggapnya sebagai rakan yang lebih mungkin untuk memberinya apa yang dia mahukan daripada calon Demokrat . Semasa berkempen, Trump membanggakan diri dengan hubungan peribadi dengan Kim, sementara Harris berkata dia tidak akan "bermesra dengan tirani dan diktator seperti Kim Jong Un yang menyokong Trump." Media kerajaan Korea Utara mendakwa minggu lalu bahawa Hwasong-19 yang diujinya pada 31 Oktober adalah ICBM "terkuat di dunia," tetapi pakar mengatakan peluru berpandu bahan api pepejal itu terlalu besar untuk digunakan dalam situasi perang. Pakar mengatakan Korea Utara belum memperoleh beberapa teknologi kritikal untuk membina ICBM yang berfungsi, seperti memastikan kepala peledak dapat bertahan dalam keadaan re-entry atmosfera yang keras. Ketegangan antara Korea semakin tinggi dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini ketika Kim telah berulang kali mempamerkan program senjata nuklear dan peluru berpandunya yang semakin berkembang, sementara dilaporkan menyediakan Rusia dengan peluru dan pasukan untuk menyokong perang Presiden Vladimir Putin di Ukraine. Menurut penilaian perisikan AS, Korea Selatan dan Ukraine, Korea Utara dianggarkan telah menghantar antara 10,000 hingga 12,000 tentera ke Rusia. Jika mereka mula berperang menentang pasukan Ukraine, ia akan menandakan penyertaan pertama Korea Utara dalam konflik berskala besar sejak berakhirnya Perang Korea 1950-53. Pada hari Isnin, jurucakap Jabatan Negara AS Matthew Miller memberitahu wartawan bahawa sebanyak 10,000 tentera Korea Utara berada di wilayah Kursk Rusia berhampiran sempadan Ukraine dan bersiap untuk menyertai perjuangan Moscow menentang Ukraine dalam beberapa hari akan datang. Itu lebih tinggi daripada 8,000 tentera yang disebut oleh kerajaan AS pada hari Khamis. Selepas pertemuan di Seoul pada hari Isnin, Menteri Luar Negeri Korea Selatan Cho Tae-yul dan ketua dasar luar EU Josep Borrell menyatakan "kebimbangan yang mendalam" mengenai kemungkinan Rusia mungkin memindahkan teknologi yang berkaitan dengan nuklear atau peluru berpandu balistik kepada Korea Utara sebagai balasan untuk senjata dan kakitangan tenteranya. Pemindahan sedemikian akan "membahayakan usaha pencegahan senjata nuklear antarabangsa dan mengancam keamanan dan kestabilan di Semenanjung Korea dan seluruh dunia," kata mereka, sambil menyeru Korea Utara dan Rusia untuk segera menarik balik tentera Korea Utara dari Rusia. Sebagai tindak balas kepada ancaman nuklear Korea Utara yang semakin meningkat, Korea Selatan, Amerika Syarikat dan Jepun telah memperluaskan latihan ketenteraan gabungan mereka dan mengemas kini pelan pencegahan nuklear mereka yang dibina di sekitar aset strategik AS. Korea Utara telah menggambarkan latihan ketenteraan bersama oleh musuhnya sebagai latihan untuk pencerobohan dan menggunakannya untuk membenarkan pengejaran senjata nuklear dan peluru berpandunya yang tidak henti-henti. Pada mesyuarat Majlis Keselamatan PBB pada hari Isnin, duta besar Korea Utara, Kim Song, mempertahankan program nuklear dan ICBM Korea Utara sebagai penting untuk pertahanan diri negara itu dan tindak balas yang diperlukan terhadap apa yang dianggap sebagai ancaman nuklear dari Amerika Syarikat. Dia menekankan bahawa Korea Utara akan mempercepat pembangunan "kekuatan nuklear kita yang dapat menentang sebarang ancaman yang dikemukakan oleh negara-negara senjata nuklear yang bermusuhan." Timbalan Duta Besar AS Robert Wood memberi amaran bahawa AS tidak dapat berpaling daripada program senjata nuklear dan peluru berpandu balistik Korea Utara yang semakin berkembang dan ancaman yang semakin meningkat terhadap keselamatan AS "tanpa tindak balas." Wood juga mengulangi seruan minggu lalu kepada Rusia untuk menyatakan sama ada terdapat tentera Korea Utara di darat di Rusia. "Kami bukan di mahkamah di sini," jawab Timbalan Duta Besar Rusia Anna Evstigneeva, "dan soalan-soalan Amerika Syarikat, dalam semangat soal siasat, bukan sesuatu yang ingin saya jawab." —Penulis Associated Press Mari Yamaguchi di Tokyo dan Edith M.

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing JCN Newswire

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

November 5, 2024
Toyota City, Japan, Nov 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing completed a thrilling fightback to overcome challenges and retain its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title when the 2024 season came to a dramatic conclusion in the 8 Hours of Bahrain.Starting from one-two on the grid, and knowing a win would secure the manufacturers’ title, each car led at different points, but the team entered the final stages of the race with only one car on track, down in 10th place after suffering setbacks.An incredible team effort and a dominant driving display saw Sébastien Buemi cut through the field to win the race in the #8 GR010 HYBRID he shares with Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, securing the team’s sixth successive manufacturers’ World Championship, by six points from Porsche.The #7 GR010 HYBRID had victory in its sights when it led at half distance, but a fuel pump issue forced Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries into retirement. That ended the slim drivers’ title hopes of Kamui and Nyck, who needed a win to have any chance.The chequered flag in Bahrain concluded a 2024 season which featured 72 hours of racing, at eight rounds on four continents over almost 10 months. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s season record stands at five podiums, including three wins, and two pole positions, earning 190 World Championship points. After an exciting year, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing congratulates new drivers’ World Champions Kévin Estre, Andre Lotterer and Laurens Vanthoor, and thanks all WEC competitors for their contribution to a memorable season.A dramatic and challenging race had started strongly for the team when Sébastien led away from pole. But after 18 minutes its hopes suffered a blow when Sébastien was hit from behind by a GT car and spun down to seventh. He recovered to fifth before Brendon took over late in the second hour.Brendon and Ryo then battled against tyre degradation on their stints but made a determined effort to keep the #8 in the top six and still in the hunt. The race turned on two safety car periods early in the second half of the race, which closed the gaps throughout the 18-strong Hypercar field.When racing resumed with just over an hour remaining, Sébastien was 10th but only 15secs from the lead, and he began an incredible fight back to revive the team’s World Championship dream. A heroic charge through the field saw him overtake several rivals to move into second after his final pit stop.With just over half an hour of the season remaining Sébastien completed a remarkable comeback drive by passing the #5 Porsche for the lead. He soon established a comfortable advantage and reached the chequered flag to win by 27.539secs for the #8 GR010 HYBRID’s second win of the season, and the team’s 10th in Bahrain.For much of the race, the #7 car had looked the most likely GR010 HYBRID to challenge for victory. Mike moved up from fourth at the end of the first lap to be in the top three when Kamui took the wheel for what would be a dramatic stint. As the sun set in the fourth hour, Kamui’s bold overtaking elevated him to second.However, the #7 was hit by a fuel pump issue which intermittently reduced performance. Drivers, engineers and mechanics looked for a solution and, initially, appeared to have succeeded when Kamui closed the gap and Nyck took the lead via a fast pit stop. But the trouble returned and the #7 slipped down the field.Considering the problem would require a lengthy repair, the team prioritised victory and the championship. It decided to retire the #7 with just over two hours to go, in order to allow its crew members to support the #8 car’s challenge, expressing their solidarity and ensuring today’s title triumph was a genuine team effort.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“First of all, a big thank you for all the support we have had this season from all over the world. Winning the manufacturers’ World Championship is a great achievement and it’s the result of a huge team effort from everyone, including our Toyota colleagues and our partners, who are a big part of this success. This is the result everyone in the team wanted and they gave everything to achieve it, so thank you for all that work. Car #8 deserved the win today after an incredible race. Obviously on our car we had some issues and had to retire. We will analyse that and aim to come back even stronger next season.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“It was obviously a disappointing outcome for our car. We were very strong at some points and looking good to win, then we ran into the issue which unfortunately took us out of the race. But at least car #8 won and that means we achieved our target of winning the manufacturers’ World Championship. I am very happy for the team and for Toyota, and I’m also pleased for car #8 to win the race with such a strong drive at the end. We’ll all enjoy this moment.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“It’s great to end the season on a high for the team by winning the manufacturers’ World Championship with an amazing victory for car #8. Obviously, it’s bittersweet for our car to see our title rivals not score any points, considering we were in a winning position. Without the technical issue we had the chance to win both championships but that’s part of the game and we have to take it on the chin. Overall, I am just so happy for the team to get their reward today because they really deserve it after an eventful and challenging season.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“It’s crazy to think we won the race considering how it was going at some point. Against all the odds, with issues, penalties and bad luck it’s an amazing feeling for the team to win the World Championship. That was our target here and we’ve achieved it thanks to a brilliant effort from the team. When our car was down in 10th, we were going to the back of the Hypercar field during the pit stops and I thought we were done. But my team-mates did a good job hanging on with the old tyres and that meant I had a tyre advantage at the end. When it mattered today, we did a good job together and I am so pleased for the whole team.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“I am so happy for everyone in the team and at Toyota. The race didn’t go as smoothly at the beginning as it could have done. We tried the medium tyres, but it didn’t work. Then at the end Séb did an unbelievable stint. He was the star; it was an incredible drive. Thanks to everyone in the team, at Toyota and all our partners. We really had to fight for this win and championship, so it means a lot. For our car to end the season with a victory is fantastic going into the winter break.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“What a day. It was an up and down race, but we never gave up and we fought as one team. We started from pole, then got hit by a GT car but still tried our best and put everything behind Séb for a maximum push at the end. On the #8 car, we have had some difficulties this season, so I am happy to finally get a bit of luck. It’s fantastic to finish the season with a win and I am so grateful to the team, as well as to everyone at Toyota and all our partners, for their big efforts to win this manufacturers’ championship.”8 Hours of Bahrain – Result1st #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 235 laps2nd #51 Ferrari AF Corse (Pier Guidi/Calado/Giovinazzi) +27.539secs3rd #5 Porsche Penske (Campbell/Christensen/Makowiecki) +29.177secs4th #93 Peugeot TotalEnergies (Jensen/Müller/Vergne) +36.799secs5th #35 Alpine Endurance Team (Chatin/Habsburg/Gounon) +37.404secs6th #15 BMW M Team WRT (Vanthoor/Marciello/Wittmann) +47.916secsDNF #7 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

In addition, a monitoring dashboard was constructed to visualize the normality of the services provided by arrowhead4.0.(2) Improvement of System Performance and ToleranceBy upgrading the infrastructure to 462 PRIMERGY RX2540 M6 (1) servers, the latest high-performance and high-reliability x86 servers from the Fujitsu Group, system performance, including capacity and throughput, has been improved, and tolerance has been enhanced.(3) Promotion of “loosely-coupled” systemsThe system log data storage for business analysis was separated from the trading core function, and built on a cloud computing platform provided by Japan Exchange Group, Inc. By loosely coupling some of the functions of data analysis and trading on the system, the reliability of market operations was improved. In addition, more flexible market data analysis is now possible.(4) Advanced Failure ResponseTSE and Fujitsu have built a unified team to respond to system failures. In the case of a system failure, the team will work quickly to identify the cause of the failure and the scope of the impact.3.
