認識冬至
(SeaPRwire) - 冬至落在星期六，為北半球帶來一年中最短的一天和最長的一夜——非常適合欣賞節慶燈飾和蓋著溫暖的毯子。 如果想享受更多陽光，可以前往南半球，那裡正值夏季。或者耐心等待：從星期日開始，北半球的白天將每天都會稍微變長一些，直到六月下旬。 地球繞太陽公轉所造成的這些年度陽光變化，幾個世紀以來人類就已熟知。英國的巨石陣和秘魯馬丘比丘的托雷昂等古蹟，其設計部分就是為了與冬至對齊。 以下是一些關於地球繞太陽運行如何劃分一年時間的資訊。 什麼是冬至？ 地球繞太陽運行時，軌道呈傾斜狀態。在一年中的大部分時間裡，地球的軸線都向著或遠離太陽傾斜。這意味著太陽的溫暖和光線會不均勻地照射到地球的南北半球。 冬至標誌著一年中地球最極度地向著或遠離太陽傾斜的時刻。這意味著南北半球獲得的陽光量差異很大——白天和黑夜的長度差異也最大。 在北半球的冬至期間，地球的上半部遠離太陽傾斜，造成一年中最短的白天和最長的黑夜。冬至落在12月20日至23日之間。 同時，在夏至期間，北半球朝向太陽，導致一年中最長的白天和最短的黑夜。夏至落在6月20日至22日之間。 什麼是春分/秋分？ 在春季和秋季的春分/秋分期間，地球的軸線和軌道線對齊，使得南北半球獲得的陽光量相等。 「Equinox」這個詞來自兩個拉丁詞，意思是「相等」和「夜晚」。因為在春分/秋分，白天和黑夜的長度幾乎相同——儘管取決於你在地球上的位置，其中一個可能會多出幾分鐘。 北半球的春季（或春分）可以落在3月19日至21日之間，具體取決於年份。秋季（或秋分）可以落在9月21日至24日之間。 氣象季節和天文季節有什麼區別？ 這只是劃分一年時間的兩種不同方法。 氣象季節是由天氣定義的。它們根據每年的溫度循環將一年劃分為三個月的季節。按照這個日曆，春季從3月1日開始，夏季從6月1日開始，秋季從9月1日開始，冬季從12月1日開始。 天文季節取決於地球繞太陽運行的軌跡。 冬至和夏至標誌著夏季和冬季的開始。春分/秋分標誌著春季和秋季的開始。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
惡名昭彰的華府毒梟雷福·埃德蒙德在聯邦監獄中逝世，享壽60歲
(SeaPRwire) - 華盛頓——聯邦監獄局週二證實，雷福爾·埃德蒙德（Rayful Edmond）已在聯邦監獄中去世。他曾被認為在20世紀80年代的裂解可卡因疫情期間控制著美國首都約三分之一的可卡因交易。 60歲的埃德蒙德在其犯罪帝國鼎盛時期，被稱為華盛頓特區的「可卡因之王」。他掌控著一個龐大的販毒網絡，助長了該市破壞性的裂解可卡因疫情，導致兇殺案急劇增加，無數人的生命毀於一旦。武裝執法人員手持烏茲衝鋒槍，保護著埃德蒙德的地盤，而他的運作與至少30起謀殺案有關，儘管沒有任何一起直接歸咎於他。 聯邦監獄局沒有透露埃德蒙德死因的細節。該局發言人羅伯·斯珀林（Rob Sperling）僅表示埃德蒙德已去世，但沒有詳細說明情況。 1989年，24歲的埃德蒙德被捕，後因參與經營龐大的毒品分銷網絡而被判處無期徒刑。據估計，他的販毒網絡每月運送多達1700磅可卡因，每周產生數百萬美元的收入。當時，埃德蒙德是華盛頓特區家喻戶曉的人物，過著奢華的生活，包括贊助當地籃球比賽，並經常前往拉斯維加斯觀看高調的拳擊比賽。 他的審判採取了史無前例的安全措施，陪審員為了保護他們的安全而匿名。他被判處無期徒刑，不得假釋，並被送往賓夕法尼亞州的一所最高安全監獄。他繼續在監獄內經營毒品分銷網絡，當他再次被抓到時，埃德蒙德被判處額外的30年徒刑。 他開始與當局合作。聯邦檢察官在一項減少他無期徒刑的動議中表示，埃德蒙德幫助監禁了數十名其他毒販，並破獲了分銷網絡，甚至教導監獄當局如何更好地防止監獄內的販運活動。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
川普控告得梅因紀事報和民調專家安·塞爾澤，指控其「干預選舉」
(SeaPRwire) - 準總統以「公然干預選舉」為由，起訴了《德梅因紀事報》及其民調專家，因為該報在選舉前週末發布的一項調查顯示，民主黨的賀錦麗在該州以令人意外的3個百分點領先。 《紀事報》的母公司甘尼特公司(Gannett Co.)週二駁斥該訴訟毫無根據，並表示將積極捍衛其第一修正案權利。 此訴訟延續了準總統針對他認為有損其形象的媒體的行動。ABC電視台這個週末向川普總統圖書館捐款，以解決一宗針對喬治·史蒂芬諾普洛斯誹謗的訴訟，該訴訟不實地聲稱川普在民事訴訟中被判犯有強姦罪。 由現已退休的民調專家J·安·塞爾澤(J. Ann Selzer)所做的德梅因調查，被認為令人震驚，因為它顯示川普在這個偏共和黨的美國中西部州份的領先優勢已被抹去。在實際選舉中，川普在愛荷華州的得票率高出13個百分點以上。 「沒有人預料到這一點，這是有一個充分理由的：因為賀錦麗在深紅州愛荷華州以三個百分點領先是不符合實際情況的，」訴狀中寫道。「這是干預選舉的虛構。」 川普指控，這項民調增加了民主黨人的熱情，迫使共和黨人將競選時間和資金轉移到他們領先的地區，並欺騙公眾，讓他們以為民主黨的表現比實際情況更好。 該訴訟於週一晚間在愛荷華州波爾克縣地方法院提起。訴訟援引愛荷華州消費者欺詐法，沒有要求具體的賠償金額，而是希望陪審團判決其實際損害的三倍金額。 無論法律結果如何，此案都可能對愛荷華州以外的地區產生寒蟬效應。川普在法律文件中表示，他希望以此阻止「激進分子繼續以腐敗的意圖發布旨在歪曲選舉結果以利於民主黨的民調」。 《德梅因紀事報》發言人拉克-瑪麗·安東(Lark-Marie Anton)表示，該報承認選舉前的民調並未反映川普最終的獲勝幅度，並發布了數據和技術解釋。 她說：「我們堅持我們對此事項的報導，並認為該訴訟毫無根據。」 塞爾澤週二尚未立即回應置評請求。但她上週告訴愛荷華州的PBS，「操縱民調以得出特定結果」不是她的職業道德。她說，她對人們會認為她有什麼動機感到困惑。 她說：「在沒有任何證據的情況下，暗示我與某人串通一氣，我收受了某人的賄賂，這一切都只是……很難太在意，除非他們指控我犯了罪。」 —美聯社駐德梅因記者湯姆·博蒙特(Tom Beaumont)和駐內布拉斯加州奧馬哈記者喬什·芬克(Josh Funk)為此報導做出了貢獻。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
吉爾戈海灘連環殺案嫌犯被控殺害第七名女子 “`
(SeaPRwire) - (紐約州河頭) — 紐約州一位建築師，因一連串被稱為吉爾戈海灘謀殺案的死亡事件而面臨謀殺指控，於週二被控殺害第七名女子。 雷克斯·赫爾曼(Rex Heuermann)否認殺害瓦萊麗·麥克(Valerie Mack)，麥克的遺體於2000年首次在長島被發現。24歲的麥克當時在費城做陪侍工作，最後一次被家人看到是在該年的新澤西州。 麥克的一些骨骼遺骸最初是在紐約州馬諾維爾被發現；十年多後，當局在約50英里（80公里）外的吉爾戈海灘發現了更多她的遺骸。直到2020年基因檢測才揭示了她的身份。 檢察官在法庭文件中表示，今年早些時候送去檢測的麥克遺骸上發現的人髮，與赫爾曼女兒的基因檔案非常吻合。他的女兒沒有被指控任何不法行為，在麥克死時，她只有3或4歲。 61歲的赫爾曼被控殺害另外六名女子，這些女子的遺骸在長島被發現。他對所有指控都表示不認罪。 「這些女性的生命很重要。我們作為調查人員，都明白這一點。沒有人比家屬更了解這一點，」薩福克郡地方檢察官雷·蒂爾尼(Ray Tierney)在與麥克的父母和其他受害者親屬舉行的新聞發布會上說道。 麥克的父母沒有發言。但其他四名受害者的親屬向麥克一家送上玫瑰和擁抱，並通過律師表達了他們的悲傷和聲援。 「她們曾被愛，現在也依然被愛。她們每天都被認識她們的人，那些與她們有著深厚聯繫的人所思念，」代表梅麗莎·巴特勒米(Melissa Barthelemy)、莫琳·布雷納德-巴恩斯(Maureen Brainard-Barnes)、潔西卡·泰勒(Jessica Taylor)和梅根·沃特曼(Megan Waterman)家屬的格洛麗亞·艾爾雷德(Gloria Allred)說道。 對吉爾戈海灘謀殺案的調查始於2010年，當時警方在尋找一名失蹤女子時，在一個屏障島公園的灌木叢中發現了10具人體遺骸，引發了人們對連環殺手的恐懼。 多年來，調查人員利用DNA分析和其他線索來確認受害者的身份，其中許多人是性工作者。在某些情況下，當局將他們與幾年前在長島其他地方發現的遺骸聯繫起來。警方還開始重新調查在長島被發現遇害的其他女性的懸案。 此案歷經五任警務委員、一千多個線索，以及人們對是否存在連環殺手的質疑。 赫爾曼與妻子和兩個孩子住在長島馬薩皮夸公園，並通勤到曼哈頓的一家建築事務所，他於2023年7月13日被捕。當時，他被控謀殺巴特勒米、沃特曼和安珀·琳·科斯特羅(Amber Lynn Costello)。 今年早些時候，他被控殺害另外三名女子——布雷納德-巴恩斯、泰勒和桑德拉·科斯蒂拉(Sandra Costilla)。 檢察官在6月份的法庭文件中表示，他們在赫爾曼地下室的硬碟中發現了一個檔案，他用它來「有條不紊地策劃」他的謀殺案——包括在之前、期間和之後要勾選的任務清單，以及「下次」的教訓。 檢察官在週二的法庭文件中表示，這份文件是在麥克被謀殺的同一年創建的，其中包含與她的案情相符的細節。 例如，它在「傾倒地點」(DS)標題下列出了「米爾路」(Mill Road)——麥克遺骸首次被發現的地方附近的一條路。 該文件還在「用品」下列出了「泡沫排水管清潔劑」。檢察官表示，2000年10月3日，赫爾曼的電話記錄似乎顯示他給長島的一家管道公司打了兩次電話，並在下個月支付了另一家公司的費用來檢查他的主排水管。 在最近對赫爾曼家和辦公室的搜查中，當局表示他們發現了舊雜誌和報紙，上面刊登了關於吉爾戈海灘謀殺案和調查的文章，檢察官認為他將這些文章作為「紀念品」或「紀念物」保存。其中包括2003年7月29日出版的《紐約郵報》(New York Post)，其中包含一篇關於對麥克和泰勒遺骸進行調查的文章。 調查人員表示，證據顯示赫爾曼的家是謀殺案發生地——大多數情況下，他的家人不在家。蒂爾尼表示，當局不知道麥克被殺時他的親屬在哪裡。 檢察官還正在調查凱倫·維加塔(Karen Vergata)的死因，她的遺骸於1996年首次被發現，在2022年新的DNA分析後最終被確認。 9月份，當局發布了2011年發現的一名身份不明受害者的最新圖像。官員表示，這名受害者多年來被認為是男性，但可能在外表上表現為女性，並於2006年死亡。 ___ 美聯社記者珍妮弗·佩爾茨(Jennifer Peltz)從紐約發回報道。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

The Seoul Awards: Bringing Seoul’s Lifestyle to the Global Stage and Closer to Consumers Worldwide
Seoul, Korea – December 18, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – The Seoul Awards is a brand certificate operated by the Seoul Business Agency (SBA), a Seoul Metropolitan Government-funded institution established to drive economic growth in Seoul. It aims to strengthen the brand competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Among the products developed and introduced to the market by SMEs, those with outstanding market competitiveness are selected and granted the right to display the ‘Seoul Awards’ mark. The ‘Seoul Awards’ has established itself as a symbol of product quality and excellence in the global market. Among the products recognized by the Seoul Awards are numerous winners of internationally prestigious honors such as the CES Innovation Awards, iF Design Award, and Red Dot Design Award. This credibility has led many outstanding products to seek Seoul Awards certification. Amid a global environment where K-pop, K-content, and consequently K-lifestyle categories like K-beauty and K-food are receiving unprecedented international attention, products selected by the Seoul Awards are gaining recognition as verified goods that enable global consumers to experience and enjoy Seoul’s lifestyle. Every year, over 100 marketing experts, merchandisers from global commerce platforms such as eBay and Shopee, as well as economic and business journalists, participate in the strict evaluation process. Using criteria such as ‘product competitiveness’, ‘price competitiveness’, and ‘aesthetics’, the Seoul Awards selection has been carried out through online and offline two-stage evaluations, including hands-on product testing, before granting the Seoul Awards mark. Going forward, the Seoul Business Agency plans to continue supporting SMEs so that their products can evolve into internationally recognized brands under the Seoul Awards brand. In particular, the agency will expand digital marketing campaigns and opportunities for overseas exhibitions to establish the ‘Seoul Awards’ logo as a symbol of trust among global consumers. An official from the Seoul Business Agency remarked, “As interest in the K-wave continues to rise, we carefully invest our efforts in the Seoul Awards selection process to ensure that global consumers can confidently enjoy Seoul’s lifestyle products. We will continue to identify and introduce excellent Seoul-based products to overseas consumers.” For more information on the Seoul Awards, please visit the official website: https://smc.sba.kr.

(TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) ("Q2" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received core assay results on drill hole CS-24-020, as well as one small interval that was remaining on drill hole CS-24-021 from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Lithium Property (the "Property" or the "Cisco Property") located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. All core assay results from the 2024 drill campaign at the Cisco Property have now been received and reported on.The Company also announces that all share purchase warrants originally issued in a December 2022 private placement financing were exercised in advance of their December 15, 2024 expiry date. Total proceeds of $1,906,250 was received from the exercise of 6,250,000 share purchase warrants bearing a strike price of $0.305 per share."2024 has been a transformative year for Q2. Since its acquisition in February 2024, we have been focused on the Cisco Property, which has far surpassed our lofty expectations," said Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals Vice President of Exploration. "With the final drill results now reported on from our 2024 exploration campaign, we are eager to resume work on Cisco in late January and expand on the exceptional results we've received so far.""We are pleased that the cash proceeds from the exercise of expiring warrants, as well as the exercise of other in-the-money warrants, will further add to Q2's strong balance sheet, providing us with a solid financial foundation from which we will continue to build shareholder value through the drill bit with our 2025 winter exploration program," said Alicia Milne, President and Chief Executive Officer of Q2 Metals. "Plans for the winter campaign at Cisco are being finalized and will be detailed early in the new year."Results for CS-24-020The analytical results reported herein represent 405 m of drilling over one (1) hole (CS-24-020), as well as the uppermost interval of drill hole CS-24-021, during the 2024 drill campaign. Complete highlighted intervals from hole CS-24-020, are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1, with two cross sections in Figures 2 and 3.Figure 1. Map of Recent Drill Holes with Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyDrill hole CS-24-020 was drilled on the same pad as hole CS-24-023 and approximately 150 m to the southeast of hole CS-24-019. The results reveal several separate mineralized intervals including the widest intervals: 26.5 m at 1.08% Li2O, 15.8 m at 1.43% Li2O, 13.5 m at 1.25% Li2O and 41.6 m at 0.90% Li2O.Figure 2. Cross Section C (looking northeast)All drill holes from the 2024 drill campaign are detailed in Figure 3 from northeast to southwest and represent a drill-defined strike length of approximately 850 m. The surface outcrops and drilling suggest that the mineralization may continue to the south for another 1,050 m.As previously reported, drill hole CS-24-023, drilled from the same drill pad as CS-24-020, confirms the continuity of the mineralized system to the southeast and the mineralized system remains open in both directions.Figure 3. Long Section containing all holes drilled to-date (looking southwest)Table 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyAll intervals of greater than 2 m of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than 5 m. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole. Complete drill hole collar, lithology and assay information is available at: www.q2metals.com/property/cisco-lithium-property/Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsDrill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness. All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50).

The Quantum Threat Is Here: Where Are We Quranium Releases Enterprise Quantum Readiness Survey Results
DUBAI, Dec 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The recent unveiling of Google’s ‘Willow’ quantum chip has ignited significant discussion throughout the ecosystem, sparking urgent questions about its implications for blockchain security. Leaders are in a unique position of responsibility to understand where we are in this rapidly evolving landscape and determine the necessary steps to address this formidable threat.As the unveiling of Willow triggered liquidations exceeding $1.7 billion, the industry is reeling from the real-world impact of heightened fears of future vulnerabilities. The question is no longer if quantum computing will disrupt blockchain security but when. In this moment of unknowing, where panic is growing, Quranium steps forward to shed light with the release of its previously unreleased Enterprise Quantum Readiness Survey.The survey, which was conducted among nearly 100 CTOs and IT executives from large global organisations across various sectors - reveals a critical gap: while 75% of organizations acknowledge the disruptive potential of quantum computing, 60% have yet to begin concrete preparations. This lack of readiness amplifies the urgency of action, especially as quantum technology rapidly transitions from theoretical to practical applications.A New Era of RiskThe Willow chip’s 105-qubit power demonstrates quantum computing’s potential to render current cryptographic systems obsolete. Kapil Dhiman, CEO of Quranium, stresses the immediacy of the challenge:“Quantum computing will redefine digital security. Algorithms that have protected data for decades are now at risk, and industries must act quickly to build resilient systems that withstand this quantum disruption.”This warning is echoed in reports from leading organizations like NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology), which predict the deprecation of critical encryption algorithms by 2030, alongside warnings about “harvest now, decrypt later” threats—where encrypted data is collected today for decryption in the quantum future.Survey Highlights: The State of Quantum ReadinessQuranium’s survey reveals critical insights into the state of enterprise quantum preparedness:Recognizing the Threat but Lagging in Action: Over 75% of respondents predict significant disruption from quantum computing within the next decade. Yet, nearly two-thirds of organizations remain unprepared, creating vulnerabilities in industries reliant on secure data handling.Barriers to Readiness: Security concerns, high perceived costs, and a lack of technical expertise are the top challenges. While 45% of respondents indicate a willingness to invest in quantum solutions, most have not taken tangible steps to address these barriers.Collaboration and Training Gaps: Only 30% of organizations actively collaborate with academic institutions or quantum technology firms, and just 25% offer formal training on quantum technologies to employees, leaving industries ill-equipped to handle the transition.Slow Adoption of Quantum-Resistant Encryption: While some companies have started implementing quantum-resistant encryption, more than half remain in exploratory phases or have taken no action, exposing critical systems to future vulnerabilities.What’s Next Bridging the Readiness GapThe quantum era is no longer a distant future—it is unfolding now. Quranium’s Enterprise Quantum Readiness Survey highlights the urgent need for industries to shift from awareness to action.
