(SeaPRwire) - 唐納德·川普經常將媒體、民主黨人、調查人員、法院和其他人追究其責任的努力比作「獵巫」。但最近，他開始使用類似的說法來為他的外國好友辯護。 從以色列總理班傑明·內塔尼亞胡（Benjamin Netanyahu），他的腐敗審判，到最近的前巴西總統賈伊爾·博爾索納羅（Jair Bolsonaro），他對美國總統的親和力和相似之處為他贏得了「熱帶川普」的綽號，川普試圖利用美國政府的影響力，阻止他的朋友們在自己的國家面臨指控。 雖然川普已經開始在社交媒體上向外國領導人發出「信件」，但他在週三於Truth Social上給現任巴西總統路易斯·伊納西奧·盧拉·達席爾瓦（Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva）的信中，偏離了迄今為止用於其他國家的劇本。 川普寫道：「我認識並與前總統賈伊爾·博爾索納羅打過交道，並且非常尊重他，就像大多數其他國家的領導人一樣。」「巴西對待前總統博爾索納羅的方式，他在任期內受到全世界的高度尊重，包括美國，是一種國際恥辱。這次審判不應該發生。這是一場應該立即結束的獵巫！」 博爾索納羅目前正面臨與煽動叛亂有關的指控，此前他在2022年巴西大選中輸給了盧拉，甚至發生了衝擊巴西首都的事件，這讓人聯想到2021年1月6日，川普的支持者在川普首次競選連任失敗後，衝擊美國國會大廈的事件。 川普在本月早些時候已經表示：「巴西在對待前總統賈伊爾·博爾索納羅一事上做得非常糟糕。我已經看到，全世界也看到了，他們除了日復一日、夜復一夜、月復一月、年復一年地追捕他之外，什麼也沒做！他沒有犯任何罪，除了為人民而戰。我已經認識了賈伊爾·博爾索納羅，他是一位強大的領導人，他真正熱愛自己的國家——而且，在貿易方面也是一位非常強硬的談判者。他的選舉非常接近，現在，他在民意調查中領先。這無非是對政治對手的攻擊——我對此非常了解！我經歷過這種事情，而且是10倍，現在我們的國家是世界上『最熱門』的國家！偉大的巴西人民不會容忍他們對待他們的前總統的方式。我將密切關注對賈伊爾·博爾索納羅、他的家人和成千上萬他的支持者的獵巫行動。唯一應該發生的審判是巴西選民的審判——這就是選舉。放過博爾索納羅！」 川普在週三給盧拉的信中還提到了「對自由選舉的陰險攻擊」（巴西的下一次大選將在2026年舉行，博爾索納羅已被認為不符合資格），以及巴西最高法院對美國社交媒體公司進行的「審查」（該國一度禁止了Elon Musk的X平台，之後在處以500萬美元罰款後取消了禁令）。 川普宣布，由於這些問題，以及為了「糾正現政權的嚴重不公正現象」，並使美國與巴西的貿易關係更加「互惠」，巴西的關稅率將從4月份最初設定的10%提高到50%，儘管事實上美國實際上與巴西存在貿易逆差。 川普還在周日宣布，對與金磚國家（BRICS）結盟的國家額外徵收10%的關稅，巴西是金磚國家的創始成員國。 盧拉在X上回應了川普的信息，寫道：「巴西是一個擁有獨立機構的主權國家，不會接受任何形式的監管。」 這位巴西領導人聲稱，巴西的司法程序「不受任何可能損害國家機構獨立性的干涉或威脅」，「言論自由絕不能與侵略或暴力行為混淆」，所有公司「無論是國內還是國外——都必須遵守巴西法律才能在我國境內運營」，並且「關稅增加將按照巴西的經濟互惠法處理」，該法規定，如果對巴西實施的單邊措施損害了其經濟競爭力，巴西可以暫停與其他國家在貿易、投資和義務方面的讓步。 根據《時代》雜誌的報導：「這標誌著幾個月來，另一個國家首次威脅要與川普的關稅威脅相提並論。」 「主權、尊重和堅定捍衛巴西人民的利益是指導我們與世界關係的價值觀，」盧拉總結道。 盧拉的帖子——就在他週一在BRICS論壇上表示，「世界已經改變。我們不想要皇帝。……人們需要理解，尊重是好的——我們喜歡給予尊重，也喜歡得到尊重」之後的幾天——為與川普的進一步對抗奠定了基礎，川普很少受到一個重要盟國的領導人如此嚴厲的挑戰。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「英文真好」言論的真正意涵 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 唐納·川普尚未以總統身分訪問非洲。但他肯定留下了深刻的印象。 在他的第一個任期內，川普據報導稱海地和非洲國家為「sh-thole countries」，冒犯了非洲大陸，並引發爭議。川普否認使用了這個具體的詞語，但當時在閉門會議上的伊利諾州民主黨參議員迪克·德賓告訴媒體，川普發表了「充滿仇恨、卑鄙和種族主義」的言論，「並且他反覆說了這些話。」 到目前為止，在他的第二個任期內，川普因提倡關於「」的虛假主張、給予白人特赦，同時實施似乎針對多個以黑人為主的政策而受到批評。 他還削減了對非洲大陸的人道主義援助。非洲是來自 U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) 支持的最大受益者之一，並且。 對許多人來說，這些舉動似乎反映了川普對非洲大陸明顯的漠視。 但正如一月份的一篇報導所說，非洲「越來越被認為是全球經濟成長的下一個前沿。其潛力巨大，擁有豐富的自然資源、蓬勃發展的年輕人口和未開發的創新。」 近年來，它也成為美國與中國地緣政治競爭中全球影響力的戰場——分析人士表示，中國似乎透過持續的、和贏得了這場戰役。 中國政治學家唐文方 (Wenfang Tang) 在 2024 年的《南華早報》中表示：「中國在非洲的成功可能部分歸因於美國外交政策的失敗，從直接不尊重到道德說教，」相比之下，「中國人將非洲人視為同志和商業夥伴。」 為了對抗中國日益增長的影響力，並將美國與非洲的關係置於更強大的基礎上，川普邀請了加彭、幾內亞比索、賴比瑞亞、茅利塔尼亞和塞內加爾的對應官員於週三到白宮參加會議，討論商業機會，作為他定性為「」的外交轉變的一部分。 川普在會議上斷言：「我們對待非洲遠比中國或任何其他國家更好。」 當許多非洲領導人對此次邀請表示感謝時，川普似乎對賴比瑞亞總統約瑟夫·博阿凱的發言感到驚訝。「我們希望在該地區的和平與安全方面與美國合作，因為我們致力於此，我們只是想非常感謝您給予這個機會，」博阿凱。 反過來，川普回答說：「謝謝你。多麼好的英語。多麼美麗。你在哪裡學到這麼優美的英語？你在哪裡接受教育？在哪裡？」 當博阿凱回答說他在賴比瑞亞學習這種語言時，川普回答說：「這非常有趣。美麗的英語！我這桌上有些人說得還沒有你好。」 此番言論立即引起了外界觀察員的強烈反彈。 一位不願透露姓名的賴比瑞亞外交官表示，他覺得這「有點屈尊俯就」。美國眾議員 Jasmine Crockett (D, Texas) 在聲明中表示這是「極度的無知」。「川普從不放過任何一個種族歧視和錯誤的機會，而且他每天都能找到一種新的方式來讓人感到尷尬，」Crockett 寫道。「我很確定公然冒犯並不是你進行外交的方式。」 英語是賴比瑞亞的官方語言，該國位於非洲西海岸，人口 500 萬，由 American Colonization Society (ACS) 於 1822 年建立，旨在重新安置被釋放的奴隸，並於 1847 年宣告獨立。 白宮在一份聲明中表示，一些人認為具有攻擊性的言論是「衷心的讚美」。 雖然川普一再表現出對英語的偏愛，在三月份簽署了一項行政命令，使其成為美國的官方語言，但這並非川普第一次評論英語的說法。 他二月份對英國首相 Keir Starmer 說：「多麼美麗的口音。」 二月中旬，他在評論說「我聽不懂他在說什麼。是口音。我聽起來有點困難」後，駁回了一位印度記者的提問。 本月早些時候，他讚揚了一位阿富汗記者，「這是一個美妙的聲音和美麗的口音，」再次使用了。 「唯一的問題是我聽不懂你在說什麼。」 就在上個月，川普稱讚德國總理 Friedrich Merz，「你的英語說得真好……非常好，非常好。」 語言學研究人員表示，川普對口音的態度——以及每個人的態度——往往反映了聽者對說話者的偏見，而不是對言語的任何客觀評價。 社會語音學家 Nicole Holliday 在 2016 年告訴《華盛頓郵報》說：「這幾乎是普遍的。你可以在世界上任何地方問誰說的是該語言的『不好』版本——而且通常是那些被邊緣化、農村、貧窮或屬於宗教少數群體的人。」 曼尼托巴大學的語言互動教授 Nicole Rosen 在今年早些時候在 The Conversation 中表示，「我們對外國口音的態度受到我們對一個人的社會認知、他們的口音和他們來自哪裡的影響，」表明這種動態可能反映在川普對歐洲領導人英語的讚揚與他對南亞和中東記者英語的否定上。 Rosen 還指出，研究表明，人們「傾向於將自己的方言評為非常悅耳。」 可能正是因為這個原因，川普對聽到博阿凱的講話做出了積極的反應——以及為什麼博阿凱本人似乎沒有受到川普反應的影響。 賴比瑞亞外交部長 Sara Beysolow Nyanti 告訴 CNN：「我們知道英語有不同的口音和形式，因此他注意到我們源於美式英語的獨特語調，只不過是認出了一種熟悉的英語版本。川普總統清楚地聽到了美國對我們賴比瑞亞英語的影響，而賴比瑞亞總統對此並不反感。」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。 ```
川普可以達成一項讓伊朗人和世界受益的協議
(SeaPRwire) - 以色列和美國的襲擊對伊朗伊斯蘭共和國造成了重大打擊。公眾意識到該政權的野心為家園帶來了戰爭，因此並未團結在其背後。伊朗人民也未曾起身抗議——這是有充分理由的。現在，一個偏執而受辱的國家正在尋求對話，正如它曾做的那樣。但川普政府應該抵制不包含為那些不願與西方敵對的伊朗人民開闢通向更具代表性的政治體制道路的對話。 數十年來，西方決策者低估了伊朗的軟實力，僅僅狹隘地專注於解除其軍事和核能力，希望這本身就能帶來和平。以色列於6月21日對多個核設施的打擊，正是該戰略的頂峰。然而，這仍然是一個失敗的戰略。即使一個沒有核武的伊朗，對該地區和西方仍然構成嚴重威脅，更不用說對伊朗人民本身了。 各種針對伊朗的方法——孤立、遏制、接觸和極限施壓——都未能遏制該政權的惡意活動。伊朗伊斯蘭共和國的盟友武裝團體暫時保持沉默，但該政權繼續透過媒體、學校和大學以及中東、非洲和亞洲的清真寺施加影響力。最高領袖的演講和宣傳資料在他的網站上有八種語言版本。這套機制使社區激進化、招募特工、洗錢並傳播其意識形態。 渴望和平與繁榮的伊朗人民在其國家外交政策上沒有發言權。目前的法律和實踐旨在確保決策權掌握在忠於革命理想的人手中，異議遭到壓制。即使傾向改革的官員也無法克服這些障礙。選舉是受到操縱的，反對派被定為犯罪，政黨被禁止，異議者——甚至是和平的異議者——也被噤聲。 期望伊朗人民在以色列轟炸期間奮起反抗，充其量只是不切實際。自1979年3月以來，他們持續受到死亡、毆打、監禁和酷刑的對待。我的組織記錄了1981年6月20日大規模抗議活動後，至少有4,376名活動家——包括175名兒童——被處決。自那以後，該政權持續暴力鎮壓抗議活動，包括最近的「婦女、生命、自由」運動。 僅在2025年，伊朗就處決了至少629人——其中上個月有102人。一些民族和宗教少數群體，例如巴哈伊教徒，也在被處決之列。在6月13日開始的12天伊朗-以色列戰爭之後，另有數百人也因涉嫌參與「以色列間諜網絡」而被逮捕，許多人可能面臨處決。 今天，伊朗領導人已被削弱並處於守勢。他們的合法性處於歷史低點。隨著葉門的胡塞武裝組織受到壓制以及以色列對黎巴嫩真主黨和哈馬斯的襲擊，他們失去了區域影響力。這種受挫的處境為國際社會提供了一個難得的機會——在諮詢專家以及伊朗活動家和受害者後——要求採取具體、可驗證的步驟，以實現真正的政治包容。 這會是什麼樣子？ 1. 將伊朗人民的權利置於談判的核心。任何協議都應具有約束力，並包括宗教和信仰自由、結社自由、言論自由以及公平選舉權的保障。伊朗已經受到《公民與政治權利國際公約》的約束——要求在國際監督下遵守。 2. 將制裁減免和經濟激勵與政治里程碑掛鉤。例如釋放所有政治犯、廢除將異議定為犯罪的法律、解散憲法監護委員會等阻礙自由參與和異議者接觸媒體的機構。 3. 參與並賦予伊朗公民社會權力。這意味著持續支持獨立媒體、人權捍衛者、工會和婦女權利運動者等。他們是西方建立持久和平的天然盟友。 4. 保持一致性。過去的方法——孤立、遏制或短期接觸——因只關注武器而非人民權利和政權控制結構而失敗。有效的戰略應是創新和一致的，目標是長期而非短期成果。 關於伊朗核設施損害程度和其核野心的持久性仍存在不確定性。但重要的是要承認，沒有任何以色列或美國的炸彈能夠摧毀伊朗的鎮壓機器。沒有任何空襲能夠根除其被灌輸的全球網絡。只有可信的政治開放——在條件、壓力和對伊朗人民堅定支持的背景下——才能侵蝕神權統治的基礎。 現在是時候做得比另一個核協議更好。這是一個尋求對伊朗人民和世界都有利的持久協議的機會，一個能包含絕大多數拒絕掠奪其資源、孤立其國家並使其貧困的政權的伊朗人民的協議。許多伊朗人民為此權利付出了巨大代價。他們與任何談判都息息相關。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。
Alpaca Network Announces Launch of Modelz: The First Decentralized Exchange for AI Models
Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, July 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Alpaca Network, the leading decentralized infrastructure for AI Model tokenization, today confirmed the launch of Modelz, its much-anticipated decentralized exchange for AI Models, serving as an on-chain marketplace and tokenization layer for open‑source AI. Modelz empowers AI developers to wrap any open‑source model into a Model token, by conducting an Initial Model Offering (IMO) and distributing usage‑based revenue automatically to token holders.“Open‑source AI drives billions in value every year, yet the creators rarely capture their share,” said Joaquim Miro, Core Contributor at Alpaca Network. “Modelz changes the game: every model becomes a community‑owned startup with its own treasury, governance, and revenue‑sharing mechanisms.”Opensource Decentralized AI meets Financial MarketsModelz empowers AI innovation by directing usage fees to model creators and PACA stakers instead of centralized cloud providers. Through Initial Model Offerings (IMOs), researchers can raise funding without giving up IP or imposing paywalls. Investors gain liquid, targeted exposure to AI adoption across categories like vision transformers, speech engines, and large language models—without needing hardware or deep technical expertise.How Modelz WorksModelz operates through a two-stage process designed to align incentives and fuel open-source AI development. It begins with an Initial Model Offering (IMO), where a creator selects an open-source model and mints [MODEL] tokens, selling a portion in exchange for PACA to seed the model's treasury. Once live, agents will be able to access the top models via API via Modelz’s inference partners. These payments flow through smart contracts that automatically distribute revenue to model developers, compute providers, and token stakers. A perpetual 6.5% “2π% reserve” is also applied to each transaction, evenly rewarding model creators, model stakers, and PACA stakers—ensuring long-term alignment and shared success across the ecosystem.Launch RoadmapThe Modelz roadmap marks a rapid evolution toward decentralized AI infrastructure. The launch of Modelz Mainnet V1 now enables live Initial Model Offerings (IMOs), along with trading, buying, and selling of tokenized AI models. By Q1 2026, the rollout of the Agentz Layer will enable decentralized inference rewards and seamless API integrations, creating a value flywheel between the tokenized models and the inference revenue they create from the agents they power.How To Get InvolvedModelz.io invites developers and researchers to upload their models to Hugging Face and tokenize them in just three simple steps, making it easier than ever to monetize open-source AI. Model token holders and PACA token holders can stake to gain access to a growing bundle of tokenized AI models, tapping into the future of decentralized machine intelligence. For tech enthusiasts, the journey starts with a front-row seat—register for our next live demo by following @AlpacaNetworkAI on X.ABOUT ALPACA NETWORKAlpaca Network, the creator of Modelz, is a Web3 infrastructure platform focussed on decentralized AI—enabling creators to monetize open-source innovation and giving investors direct exposure to the rapidly growing AI economy. The network is built on a three-layer architecture: it begins with the PACA Foundation, which provides governance and gas for the ecosystem; continues with the MODELS Infrastructure, a decentralized exchange where tokenized AI models can be published, traded, and composed; and culminates with AGENTZ, the application layer that allows AI agents and decentralized applications to access and utilize inference-ready models. Together, these layers form a seamless pipeline for distributed intelligence—from governance to model deployment to real-world AI utility.

Standard Chartered GBA Business Confidence Survey points to further tariff drag in H2
HONG KONG, July 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Standard Chartered and the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) jointly released the latest Standard Chartered Greater Bay Area Business Sentiment Index (GBAI), which showed resilient current business performance after the so-called US ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs shock, supported by front-loading of orders and production. Meanwhile, businesses were cautious on the outlook as expectations softened but remained positive.The "current performance" index for business activities eased marginally to 53.1 in Q2 from 53.5 in Q1. A breakdown of index components supports the front-loading narrative; “Production/sales” was the strongest performer among the eight main sub-indices, in terms of both absolute score (57.1, the highest in a year) and change (+4.2 pts). Other positive drivers include “Fixed asset investment” (+2.0pts), “Profits” (+1.1pts) and “Raw material inventory” (+0.1pts). Meanwhile, the “expectations” index for business activity fell to 52.0 in Q2 from 54.3 in Q1. This is the weakest level since Q4-2022, but the fact that expectations stayed above the 50 neutral mark provides some relief. There is a broad-based deterioration across sub-components as seven of the eight expectations sub-indices fell, and the exception was “Capacity utilisation". “Financing scale” (-5.1pts), “Finished goods/services price” (-4.8pts) and “Production/sales” (-2.6pts) saw the biggest declines in the quarter.By sector, “Innovation and technology” outperformed (+6.3pts for “current performance” and +5.5pts for “expectations”), while “Manufacturing and trading” showed short-term resilience (-0.4pts and -2.1pts) as rush orders ahead of US tariff implementation have kept manufacturers busy. ‘Retail and wholesale’ disappointed (-1.0pts and -4.1pts), despite the perceived effectiveness of China’s consumer goods trade-in program.Across GBA cities, there was setback for Hong Kong and Guangzhou. Hong Kong saw the biggest drops among GBA cities (-9.8pts for “current performance” and -10.5pts for “expectations”) in the quarter. This partly reflects its vulnerability to the external environment and domestic consumption struggles. Guangzhou fell 9.3pts for “current performance” and 6.3pts for “expectations”.Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, said:“The looming tariff uncertainty has driven the front-loading of orders and production in the second quarter, while also accelerating AI development. Looking ahead, the findings revealed a more cautious view of GBA businesses amid the uncertain business outlook in the second half, especially regarding the outcome of bilateral trade deals after the 90-day pauses. Additionally, Hong Kong's economy saw steady expansion in the first quarter. Given the significant proportion of external economic activities relative to its GDP, international trade and tariff policies are crucial for Hong Kong.”For thematic questions, only some 10% of respondents saw a material direct impact from US tariff hikes. Notably, tariff pauses and exemptions provided relief on the impact, this underscores the importance of maintaining the recent US-China trade truce and quickly finalising other bilateral trade deals in Q3.In terms of the impact of doing business, 41% of the respondents said US tariff hikes would delay the implementation of their business plans. Other major impacts include “difficult to navigate high level of logistical/customs disruption/uncertainty” (35%) and “losing business to other markets with lower tariff impact” (30%). Meanwhile, 32% of the respondents would sell more into the domestic market as the most common way to address the US tariff shocks and associated uncertainties.Irina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDC, said: “The findings showed that GBA companies are relatively resilient to US tariffs, although our survey was conducted shortly after the US ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs against its trade partners in April and did not capture all of the more recent developments since. Some 75-80% of the GBA companies see negative impacts by US tariffs, mostly due to delay in business plan implementation and logistics disruptions.” “In response to this new era of US trade policy, GBA companies seek to increase domestic sales and expanding to key markets in the region, in particular ASEAN, reflecting the mainland and HKSAR Governments’ efforts in promoting closer economic ties with these countries and regions.”About the GBAIThe GBAI is the first forward-looking quarterly survey in the market that looks at the business sentiment and synergistic effects in cities and industries across the GBA. It is compiled based on a survey of more than 1,000 companies in the GBA covering the manufacturing and trading, retail and wholesale, financial services, professional services and innovation and technology sectors. The index enables investors and businesses to better understand the current business climate, gauge future performance prospects and formulate their market strategies for the GBA.Related materialsHKTDC Research: https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MjA1NzIwMTI0MQReport and photos download: https://bit.ly/4lOjJQFKelvin Lau (left), Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard Chartered, and Irina Fan (right), Director of Research, HKTDC, announced the latest GBA Business Confidence Index (GBAI) on 9 July 2025Kelvin Lau, Senior Economist, Greater China and North Asia, Standard CharteredIrina Fan, Director of Research, HKTDCMedia enquiriesYuan Tung Financial Relations LimitedTiffany LeungTel: (852) 3428 2361Email: tleung@yuantung.com.hk Communications & Public Affairs Department of the HKTDCKaty WongTel: (852) 2584 4524Email: katy.ky.wong@hktdc.org Corporate Affairs Department of Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) LimitedFlora ChiuTel: (852) 3843 2285Email: flora.chiu@sc.comAbout Standard CharteredWe are a leading international banking group, with a presence in 53 of the world’s most dynamic markets.

Hola Prime Unveils ‘Hola Prime Futures’ with Industry-First 1-Hour Withdrawals, Expands Forex Offering with MT4 Integration
NEW YORK, July 10, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In a move poised to redefine the contours of modern proprietary trading, Hola Prime, an emerging leader in the prop trading industry, has announced two major developments: the launch of Hola Prime Futures, the world's first 1 hour withdrawals futures prop trading firm; and the strategic expansion of its forex vertical through the integration of MetaTrader 4 (MT4) - the world's most widely adopted retail trading platform.These initiatives are not just product additions - they signal Hola Prime's commitment to building a prop trading ecosystem that is faster, fairer, and far more accessible than the industry status quo.Hola Prime Futures: World's First 1-Hour Withdrawal Futures Prop Trading FirmFutures trading, once considered the preserve of institutional desks and seasoned speculators, is now witnessing a strong surge in interest from independent traders looking to diversify beyond forex and crypto. But with this shift has come a growing list of frustrations: multi-step evaluations, unclear rules, delayed withdrawals, and outdated platforms that deter rather than empower.Hola Prime Futures seeks to turn that narrative on its head."Futures prop trading has been shaped by legacy systems that serve firms more than traders," said Somesh Kapuria, CEO of Hola Prime. "We're rewriting that logic. With Hola Prime Futures, we've stripped the experience down to its most essential elements: 1 Rule. 1 Target. 1-Step Challenge. 1-on-1 Mentorship. And 1-Hour Withdrawals. It's simple by design and powerful by intent."At the core of Hola Prime Futures is a radically simplified access model: traders can choose between a 1-Step Challenge or a Direct Account, both offering access to funding levels of up to $150,000. There are no daily loss limits, no unclear or complex rules, and no hidden fine print - a stark departure from the layered complexity typical of most futures prop firms.Yet it's the withdrawal speed that truly sets Hola Prime apart. Backed by its strong and comprehensive 10-point payout system, Hola Prime Futures enables verified withdrawals within 60 minutes - an industry first in futures trading."Most prop firms still operate on outdated withdrawal cycles - three days, five days, even two weeks," said Sumedha Sharma, CFO of Hola Prime. "But when a trader qualifies, they've done the work. Our system recognizes that in real time. We've eliminated unnecessary approvals, automate what can be automated, and built the tech to support one promise: You withdraw in one hour. Every time."In addition to this, Hola Prime Futures offers Project X - a trading platform designed with simplicity and strong risk management at its core. Traders can access instruments listed on CME, COMEX, NYMEX, and CBOT, all from one intuitive interface.Furthermore, Hola Prime Futures also provides Quantower and R Trader Pro (Rithmic feed being compatible with multiple other platforms), allowing traders to work in the environment that best suits their strategy and comfort.MT4 Integration: Strengthening the Forex DomainWhile futures take center stage, Hola Prime hasn't taken its foot off the gas in the forex segment. In fact, the firm's forex vertical is receiving a major upgrade with the integration of MetaTrader 4 (MT4) - a move that underscores Hola Prime's dual-asset vision and long-term trader support strategy. They already have MT5 in place. This marks the addition of both MT4 and MT5 along with 3 other trading platforms- Ctrader, DX Trade, and Match Trade. So, Hola Prime now offers a whopping 5 trading platforms for its forex traders."MT4 is a global standard for a reason," said Kapuria. "It's reliable, intuitive, and deeply compatible with the way traders operate - from algorithmic strategies to custom indicators. Bringing MT4 into our forex vertical wasn't a tactical move; it was a strategic necessity."This complements the firm's broader commitment to accessibility, performance, and infrastructure reliability across asset classes."We don't believe in one-size-fits-all," added Sharma. "Forex traders need different tools and timelines than futures traders. Our ecosystem is now robust enough to serve both - without compromise."Education and MentorshipSupporting both launches is the firm's educational initiative, Hola Prime TV - an original content platform offering live trading sessions, expert market breakdowns, and 1-on-1 mentorship from industry experts. Unlike traditional prop firms, which often outsource trader education or rely on generic resources, Hola Prime has made coaching a direct part of its offering."Traders today want more than capital - they want guidance, community, and real conversations about risk and resilience," said Himanshu Chandel, Marketing Director at Hola Prime. He added, "Hola Prime TV is built around that ethos. It's not about showing off trades. It's about showing what it takes to last."The Vision AheadHola Prime's dual expansion - into 1-hour withdrawal futures prop model and platform-enhanced forex reflects a larger ambition: to be not just a prop firm, but a trader-first institution that defines the next generation of global trading."Our goal isn't to be the biggest," Kapuria concluded.

綠科(HK00195)股東獲推薦 接納Metals X部份收購要約
EQS 新聞 via SeaPRwire.com / 2025-07-10 / 10:19 UTC+8 2025年7月10日 —綠科科技國際有限公司（「綠科」，港交所股份代號：00195）獨立董事委員會建議該公司的合資格股東接納Metals X Limited（「Metals X」）的無條件自願部分收購要約（「部分收購要約）。 根據綠科就部份收購要約發出的回應文件指出，向該公司獨立董事委員會提供意見的獨立財務顧問認為部份收購要約公平合理，並建議獨立董事委員會推薦合資格股東接納部份收購要約。 獨立財務顧問於達致彼等的推薦建議時，已考慮多項因數，其中包括： 要約價每股0.35港元較股份最後交易日所報收市價溢價25.00%。 股份自2024年9月2日起暫停買賣，尚未取得任何實質的復牌進展，且復牌指引所載的六項指引要點均未得到履行；如綠科未能於2026年3月1日前恢復股份買賣，則可能會被摘牌。 股份交易流動性低，即使股份交易恢復，合資格股東可能難以在公開市場一次出售大量股份。 要約價每股0.35港元較按綠科於最後交易日的假設性經調整市值計算的假設性經調整每股價格，溢價約66.67%。 澳洲最大錫生產商Metals X於2025年6月4日公佈對綠科提出無條件自願部分收購要約，收購最多28%綠科股份，每股要約價爲現金0.35港元，要約文件已於2025年6月25日發佈，接受部分收購要約的截止期限為2025年7月23日（星期三）下午4時。 Metals X爲一家於澳大利亞註册成立的公眾有限公司，其股份於澳大利亞證券交易所上市（澳大利亞證券交易所股份代碼：MLX）。其主要業務包括：(i) 投資於運營澳洲雷尼森錫礦的Bluestone Mines Tasmania Joint Venture；(ii) 投資於在澳大利亞從事勘探與開發錫、黃金及普通金屬的企業。 — 完 — 發佈：Metals X Limited 經由：智策企業推廣顧問有限公司 傳媒查詢：智策企業推廣顧問有限公司 蕭嘉裕 電話：2801 6198 / 9029 1865 電郵：sky@corporatelink.com.hk麥翠儀 電話：2801 6090 / 6539 3300 電郵：zoe@corporatelink.com.hk 2025-07-10 此財經新聞稿由EQS Group via SeaPRwire.com轉載。本公告內容由發行人全權負責。瀏覽原文: http://www.todayir.com/tc/index.php
Netflix 影集The Gringo Hunters背後的真實故事
(SeaPRwire) - 二十多年來，一支墨西哥警察部隊一直在北部邊境悄然運作，追蹤並驅逐那些為逃避本國刑事指控而越境進入墨西哥的外國逃犯。 這支隊伍非官方地被稱為「老外獵人」（The Gringo Hunters），他們在提華納（Tijuana）展開行動，專門負責定位並清除這些進入墨西哥、企圖逃避美國法律體系的逃犯——其中大部分是美國人。官方名稱是下加利福尼亞州警察局國際聯絡處。 他們的真實行動啟發了 Netflix 新劇《老外獵人》（The Gringo Hunters / Los Gringo Hunters），該劇將於7月9日首播。這部劇改編自一篇2022年 Washington Post 的文章，該文章罕見地揭示了該單位如何以速度和謹慎追蹤、逮捕和驅逐逃犯。 以下是關於 Netflix 劇集背後真實「老外獵人」的一切： 一個墨西哥以外鮮為人知的單位 自2002年成立以來，該單位已驅逐了1,600多名逃犯——其中大多數是因殺人、綁架、性犯罪和販毒等嚴重罪行而被通緝的美國男性。他們平均每月逮捕約13人。被捕者包括 FBI 十大通緝犯名單上的逃犯、連環殺手，以及被控證券詐欺的億萬富翁。 「老外獵人」隊員穿著便衣，駕駛無標識車輛，並依賴來自美國機構的情報，例如 FBI、Department of Homeland Security 和 U.S. Marshals。他們接受過墨西哥和美國法律體系的培訓，並專注於重大案件。他們培訓的一部分包括觀察在墨西哥社區中顯眼的人——這在追蹤試圖融入的嫌疑犯時是一項必不可少的技能。例如，逃犯通常比當地人穿更多的短褲和夾腳拖，而且很少說西班牙語。警官們還會留意異常行為和在美國犯罪數據庫中記錄的身體特徵，例如紋身或疤痕。 該單位不經過漫長的引渡程序，而是利用違反移民法的規定迅速驅逐嫌疑犯。大多數逮捕都在數小時內完成。由於美國特工無法在墨西哥獨立行動，他們依賴墨西哥警方執行逮捕。這不是正式的引渡，引渡需要法庭程序。從技術上講，逃犯是因為違反墨西哥法律而被捕。 揭露該單位於世的案件 直到2022年，該單位在執法界之外鮮為人知。當 Washington Post 國際調查記者 Kevin Sieff 隨隊採訪，報導他們準備逮捕 Damion Salinas——一名在加州被控謀殺的21歲美國人時，這種情況改變了。 Sieff 的報導詳細說明了警官如何在恩森那達（Ensenada）追蹤 Salinas，確認其身份，並與 U.S. Marshals 協調。逮捕發生在路邊，數秒內結束。Salinas 幾乎立即被驅逐出境。 這篇文章為外界提供了一個了解該單位日常戰術和低調方式的難得機會。警官們花費數小時在據信有逃犯藏匿的社區進行監視。他們乘坐無標識車輛，並避免穿制服，以減少驚動嫌疑犯的風險。 邊境敘事被悄然改寫 該單位的暱稱在當地人之間非正式地流傳開來，作為他們任務的簡稱：找到並拘留那些認為越境進入墨西哥就能逃脫法律制裁的外國逃犯。雖然該團隊不正式使用這個名字，但它反映了傳統邊境敘事的逆轉。現在不是墨西哥人向北逃，而是美國人藏匿在邊境以南，並被墨西哥執法部門追蹤。 儘管 Netflix 的《老外獵人》將他們的故事戲劇化，但真實的警官們卻悄然高效地運作。他們逮捕逃犯並迅速將其遣返以面對法律制裁，通常沒有引起公眾關注或大張旗鼓。他們的工作需要耐心、精準以及與美國執法部門的密切協調。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。
「鯊魚低語者」醜化像我這樣的夏威夷原住民
(SeaPRwire) - 我會知道新的Netflix紀錄片《鯊魚低語者》（Shark Whisperer），是因為我的社群媒體通知炸鍋了。我被標記在貼文中，人們稱我為反鯊魚、反環境。我很困惑，直到我看了這部影片。 在那裡，我被描繪成反派。 我曾擔任夏威夷眾議院海洋、海洋資源與夏威夷事務委員會主席，該委員會因就鯊魚保護立法舉行聽證會而登上紀錄片。影片中沒有顯示的是，我是最早也最堅定的鯊魚禁捕法支持者之一。當其他人猶豫不決時，我要求舉行聽證會。儘管眾議院領導層反對，我仍將法案推進投票。我努力爭取通過所需的支持。 但在紀錄片中，像我這樣的夏威夷原住民——立法者、kūpuna（長者）和當地研究人員——被貶低為障礙。我們不是被樣板化就是被妖魔化，而一個單一的局外人（在本例中是社群媒體活動家Ocean Ramsey）則被塑造成故事的救世主。這不只是一種錯誤的呈現。它反映了主流紀錄片在敘述故事時更深層次的模式：誰被視為主體，誰被視為客體。誰的知識被歌頌，誰的知識被排斥。 我在毛伊島海岸自由潛水長大，用魚叉捕魚和heʻe（章魚），並經常遇到manō（鯊魚）。這些不是腎上腺素驅動的特技。它們是神聖的時刻。在我們的傳統中，鯊魚不是可以被擬人化或商品化的東西。牠是我們的aumākua，一個家庭守護者。我們不追蹤牠們、不給牠們命名，也不把牠們當寵物。我們展現尊重。我們讓manō來到我們身邊。 後來作為一名代表我社區的年輕立法者，我開始看到我們的水域是如何枯竭的。魚類資源減少，珊瑚死亡，海洋商業化將本土物種推向邊緣。我沒有承擔鯊魚保護工作，並不是因為它在政治上很容易。事實上並不容易。許多商業漁民反對。同事警告我不要推動它。但我仍然向前推進，因為海洋養育了我。我欠牠這麼多。 《鯊魚低語者》（Shark Whisperer）聲稱尊重海洋生物，但它經常將崇敬與控制混淆。它將野生、神聖的生物降格為以人類為中心的故事中的角色，將親近誤認為是連結。但在我們的文化中，真正的尊重往往意味著保持一種神聖的距離。並非所有強大的事物都需要被馴服。每個生物在生命網中都擁有自己的本質和角色，無論它是否反映我們。尊敬牠們，就是要放下支配或展示的需要，只是讓牠們自在地存在。 這就是為什麼影片對Ramsey的關注如此令人不安。不僅因為它將她提升為夏威夷鯊魚的唯一保護者，還因為它模糊了倡導和挪用之間的界限。在最近的Instagram貼文中，Ramsey提到了接受ʻuhi的榮譽，這是一種傳統上為夏威夷原住民保留的神聖紋身儀式。她將其描述為「她kuleana和遺產的象徵」，聲稱她根本不具備的文化傳承。 除此之外，她的學術背景不明。她的出身也常常模糊不清。清楚的是，她缺乏當地社區的信任。許多倡導者認為，她的參與實際上延遲了鯊魚保護法的通過。她的存在讓更廣泛的聯盟的可信度受到質疑。一些支持者猶豫不決，擔心他們的倡導會與許多人認為她對夏威夷原住民和當地漁民的不尊重聯繫在一起。 而現在，隨著她擁有更大的平台，她的例子有被模仿的風險。如果其他人模仿她的策略，我們的聲音，那些根植於世代生活經驗和文化知識的聲音，可能會被淹沒。 事實是，Kānaka Maoli（夏威夷原住民）海洋保護者世代以來一直在做這項工作。他們在粉絲較少、沒有贊助或特技的情況下做到了這一點，也沒有將我們的aumākua變成內容或現金。我們真正的Kahu Manō （鯊魚低語者）可能永遠不會獲得紀錄片合約或數百萬次的觀看，但他們承載著維持我們水域和社區生命的知識。他們是我們所求助的對象。他們是我們所信任的人。 Netflix曾有機會讓他們的聲音成為中心。然而，它卻遵循了我們以前見過多次的模式。 在《白頭盔》（The White Helmets）中，西方電影製作人在敘利亞塑造了一個人道主義敘事，卻很大程度上抹去了當地組織，也未能將其中複雜的地緣政治力量納入情境。在《救援》（The Rescue）中，泰國洞穴潛水員被強調，而主導初期大部分工作的原住民當地志願者卻被忽略。而在《象牙遊戲》（The Ivory Game）中，非洲反盜獵領導人被擁有攝影團隊和贊助的歐洲保育人士所掩蓋。這些電影可能出於善意，但它們反映了一種模式：白人局外人作為救世主，當地人或原住民則成為背景或障礙。 這種敘事框架不僅扭曲了事實，也剝奪了社區的權力。它強化了一個系統，在這個系統中，最接近受害者的人離平台最遠，而最遠離文化的人卻掌握了話語權。 但事情不必非得如此。 良好的盟友關係始於謙遜。它意味著以團結而非爭取曝光的方式出現。它意味著知道何時發言，以及何時退後一步，放大那些擁有生活經驗和祖先聯繫的人的聲音—尤其當工作涉及神聖的生靈、神聖的習俗和神聖的場所時。 我們並不是要求在每個故事中都被置於中心。我們要求的是不要從我們自己的故事中被抹去。 我們不是反派。manō也不是。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。
這款全新 AI 工具希望能與電影製作人合作，而不是取代他們 “`
(SeaPRwire) - 好萊塢和人工智慧產業之間的關係非常緊張。許多電影製作人和業內人士擔心在電影製作過程中使用人工智慧，並擔心它會被用來取代人類的創造力。今年六月，迪士尼和環球影業起訴了人工智慧公司Midjourney，指控其侵犯版權。 但儘管如此，一些人工智慧公司仍在嘗試在好萊塢開闢一條前進的道路。週二，其中一家新創公司Moonvalley邁出了重要一步，向公眾發布了一個完全授權的、專業級的影片模型。 Moonvalley由DeepMind的工程師創立，與電影業有著密切的聯繫——該公司擁有人工智慧電影工作室Asteria Film Co.，該工作室由電影製作人兼演員娜塔莎· Lyonne和她的男友Bryn Mooser於今年創立。Asteria一直在為Moonvalley的人工智慧模型Marey的開發提供建議，該模型現在以每月14.99美元、34.99美元和149.99美元的訂閱價格提供給電影製作人。 Marey可能會成為人工智慧進入好萊塢的主要入口點，因為它是在電影製作人的批准下開發的，並在授權數據上進行了訓練，理論上允許工作室避免困擾人工智慧行業的道德問題和版權訴訟。 Moonvalley的CEO兼聯合創始人Naeem Talukdar告訴《時代》雜誌：「我們必須確保以正確的方式構建這些工具：以電影製作人和藝術家為中心進行構建，而不是試圖自動化他們的工作。」 Moonvalley已從投資者那裡籌集了資金，包括Khosla Ventures和Bessemer Venture Partners。Asteria正在使用Marey製作一部關於卡爾·薩根的新紀錄片，以修復和調整鏡頭。Talukdar還表示，Marey正在十多家「大型工作室」以及主要廣告公司進行試點項目測試。 許多其他人工智慧影片模型都是黑盒系統：你輸入一個提示，它就會生成一個完整的場景。如果你試圖調整場景中的一個變量，另一個變量可能會改變，使得很難保持對所有已拍攝內容的控制。 Moonvalley旨在構建融入電影製作過程的工具，就像過去的CGI和特效程序一樣。Marey允許電影製作人輸入故事板或幀，然後根據自己的意願進行調整，理論上讓電影製作人可以更好地控制每個細節，從對象到角色，再到運動和場景構圖。 Talukdar說：「這是一個迭代的過程，你從一些輸入指導開始，然後逐步構建到你想要的場景，這與今天的VFX工作流程沒有太大區別。」 「如果你是一家沒有龐大基礎設施的獨立工作室，那麼即使在一個很小的空間裡，你現在也可以以非常精細的方式創建和管理這些場景。」 Talukdar帶我參觀了Marey的演示，首先展示了一位女演員在工作室中的實際影片片段，她轉過頭，平靜地從圍巾下掏出一把槍。然後，Talukdar通過該模型運行該片段，創建了一個單獨的AI生成的女人在火車上的場景，她的移動方式與原始女演員相同。然後，他改變了攝像機視角，轉到她的另一側，並使山脈出現在火車窗外。每個生成的場景將花費創作者大約1到2美元的渲染費用，這與其他人工智慧影片生成器的成本相當，並且比必須重新拍攝影片便宜得多。 該模型訓練的所有鏡頭均已從IP所有者那裡獲得許可。Talukdar說，大約80%的鏡頭來自一群獨立電影製作人和機構，他們多年來積累了B-roll。Talukdar說，這種方法意味著Marey的訓練數據大約是其競爭對手（如Google的Veo 3）的五分之一。但他聲稱，Moonvalley正在通過來自Deepmind、Meta和其他頂級實驗室的校友創造的更好的技術來克服這一缺陷。 他說：「現實情況是，如果我們抓取[數據]，我們的模型毫無疑問會更強大。」 「但我們的傾向是你不一定非要成為第一名——你只需要躋身最佳之列即可。而且我認為這是第一個生成式的、完全授權的模型，你無需在質量上妥協。」 好萊塢有很多電影製作人認為人工智慧與他們的創作過程背道而馳。這種緊張關係在好萊塢罷工期間發揮了重要作用，許多罷工者表達了對通過自動化失去工作的擔憂。相反，Talukdar認為，人工智慧工具實際上將創造新型工作，並使工作室能夠進一步推進其預算，而不是削減預算。 他說：「有一種想法是，你現在可以用500萬美元製作一部電影，而不是花費5000萬美元，這在某種程度上是正確的。」 「但另一種思考方式——這也是我們與之交談的每個工作室都在思考的方式——現在對於這5000萬美元以及該項目中的相同100人，他們將能夠做到以前需要花費1億美元才能做到的事情。」 「這將是相同數量的人，做更多更好的內容。」 Marey在電影業的支持者包括《藍甲蟲》和其他電影的導演Ángel Manuel Soto。他在給《時代》雜誌的一封電子郵件中寫道：「我覺得Moonvalley和Asteria聽到了藝術家對道德人工智慧的擔憂，他們用Marey創造的東西是一個突破。」 「從簡化工作室工作流程到賦予波多黎各和達喀爾等地的新興創作者權力，Marey是第一個真正了解我們需要什麼的生成式人工智慧：一種快速行動、負責任地用更少的錢做更多事情，並且仍然保護使這個行業人性化的人們的方式。」 但是，許多電影製作人對這種邏輯表示懷疑，並擔心他們正在為一個誘餌和轉換做好準備。《馬男波傑克》的創作者兼節目主持人Raphael Bob-Waksberg說：「當你看到這些技術的更大應用時，公司和工作室從來不想用它來授權藝術家以相同的金額製作更酷的東西。」 「他們想讓事情變得更便宜，切斷藝術家，減少付給人們的錢，並以一種不會使工作變得更好的方式使用這些技術。」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。 ```
Netflix紀錄片世紀派對：失控的 Project X背後的真實故事
(SeaPRwire) - 對哈倫這個小鎮的人們來說，9 月 21 日意義非凡（與 Earth, Wind & Fire 的音樂無關）。 大約 13 年前，該鎮登上國際新聞版面，原因是成千上萬的人前來慶祝一位 16 歲少女的生日，原因是派對邀請在 Facebook 上瘋傳。 那是一場混亂：暴動造成至少 36 人受傷，數十人被捕。在 : The Real Project X 中，Netflix 將於 7 月 8 日播出，探索這場派對的製作過程，作為其關於近期歷史上災難的系列報導的一部分。 其中包括生日女孩梅爾特·瑪麗耶·韋斯特豪斯 (Merthe Marije Weusthuis)，她 12 年來首次談論這個派對、拍攝派對的人，以及試圖阻止派對失控的當地政府官員。 「我現在 28 歲了，經過這麼多年，我終於決定講述這個故事，」韋斯特豪斯在 Instagram 上分享該紀錄片的預告片時寫道。 「儘管我已經準備好面對再次出現的審查、騷擾和意見，但我至少會用自己的聲音說話。」 以下是派對如何爆紅的過程。 公開的 Facebook 活動 韋斯特豪斯在 Facebook 上為她的 16 歲生日創建了一個公開活動，並邀請了 78 人。 當她邀請朋友時，這些朋友也邀請了他們的朋友，然後就爆紅了。 當有 17,000 人回覆參加時，她刪除了該活動。 但一位名叫喬里克·克拉克 (Jorik Clarck) 的 18 歲男子創建了一個模仿活動，偽裝成韋斯特豪斯的驚喜生日派對。 其中提到了 2012 年上映的熱門電影 Project X，該片講述了一場失控的高中派對。 「我讓她在 Facebook 上出名了，」喬里克在 中吹噓道。 韋斯特豪斯的一位在 Facebook 上與喬里克有聯繫的朋友給了她他的電話號碼。 她的父親打電話給喬里克，懇求他撤下該活動，說他擔心家人的安全，因為有人爬過他們的柵欄並拍攝他們的房子。 喬里克不想危及韋斯特豪斯的安全，因此他刪除了他的活動。 然後，又出現了另一個模仿活動。 當韋斯特豪斯聯繫管理員，敦促他們刪除該活動時，他們拒絕了她。 隨著越來越清楚這個派對無論如何都會舉行，當地官員開始集思廣益，想辦法控制局面。 格羅寧根市附近的夜間經理克里斯·加里特（Chris Garrit，實際上是負責監督該市夜生活的政府官員）告訴 Netflix，他想在哈倫郊外指定一塊空間來舉辦派對，配備音樂和舞台，但哈倫市長不允許。 他只是想廣播派對取消了。 韋斯特豪斯告訴 Netflix，她擔心狂歡者會像 Project X 電影中那樣燒毀她的房子。 派對當天 截至 9 月 21 日，約有 35 萬人回覆參加該活動。 韋斯特豪斯在哈倫郊外的一位阿姨家避難。 該紀錄片包含大量關於喧鬧人群的鏡頭。 他們手持酒，高呼「派對在哪裡？ 派對就在這裡！」 街上迴盪著轟隆作響的音樂。 警察高度警戒任何惡作劇，並開始封鎖房子附近的街道。 爆發了暴動。 紀錄片中的一些片段顯示警察毆打不守規矩的狂歡者。 人們打破車窗並入店行竊。 在影片中，一位報導該事件的記者回憶說，他回到自己的車旁，發現擋風玻璃上有腳印，一個窗戶被砸碎，乘客座位上有一塊磚頭。 「我一直保留著這塊磚頭作為紀念品，」他說。 哈倫市長羅布·巴茨 (Rob Bats) 因未能控制派對而受到抨擊，最終辭職。 為什麼這麼多人想去陌生人的派對 在如此多的社交活動都是在社交媒體上進行的時代，人們似乎對能夠親自聚會感到興奮，而 2012 年 3 月上映的 Project X 引起了青少年的共鳴並激發了他們的靈感。 Project X 確實啟發了其他失控的現實派對，從 2012 年在德克薩斯州休斯頓舉行的一場狂歡派對，導致一人死亡，到 2014 年在密歇根州加拿大湖舉行的一場派對，導致數人住院。 韋斯特豪斯說，她認為想去派對是一種非常人性化的本能。 她完全理解許多青少年都熱切地等待著可以合法飲酒和參加派對的那一刻。 「我不認為大多數來參加派對的人都打算製造暴動或犯罪，」韋斯特豪斯在紀錄片中說。 「我認為很多人來是因為他們想要一個派對。 我認為這是那個年齡段的青少年身上一種正常的內在事物，他們想要反叛、爭取自由、表達個性。」 影片以她說「如果不是我的派對，我肯定會去」作為結尾。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。 ```
SAPPE’s Female CEO Takes the World Stage at the Global Summit of Women 2025 in Berlin, Germany
BANGKOK, July 9, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sappe PCL (SAPPE) once again reinforced its image as a globally recognized Thai enterprise as its Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Piyajit Ruckariyapong, was invited to speak at the Global Summit of Women 2025, one of the world’s most influential international gatherings of women leaders. The 35th edition of the summit was held in Berlin, Germany from July 3–5, 2025 under the theme “Women: Restoring Values in the Digital Age” and brought together over 1,000 participants from more than 60 countries.Ms. Ruckariyapong joined the Summit as a panelist under the theme “Should Companies Take a Position on Socio-Cultural Issues?”, alongside top executives from global corporations such as Commerzbank (Germany), Dow Europe (Switzerland), and McCann Worldgroup Europe (Spain). Moderated by Ms. Irene Natividad, President of the Global Summit of Women, the session highlighted the role of modern women as not just innovators but leaders in restoring values and ethics to business and society in the digital era.During the panel, Ms. Ruckariyapong shared SAPPE’s inspiring journey from its humble beginnings as a small food business founded by a second-generation Thai-Chinese family to becoming a global innovator in the beverage industry, exporting to over 100 countries. The only daughter among three brothers, she began her career in finance at global institutions such as Deutsche Bank, Barclays Capital, and BNP Paribas. She was later called back to SAPPE during a pivotal moment as the company prepared to go public, where she played a key role as CFO. When her elder brother stepped down, she was appointed CEO and has since driven the company’s international expansion.On stage, she affirmed that SAPPE believes in being a company that “takes a stand for what it believes in” not just in marketing strategies, but in giving voice to important social and cultural issues. She emphasized the company’s three core values embedded in its DNA: innovation, women empowerment, and diversity and inclusion. SAPPE was the pioneer of the “Snack Drink” category, with its globally successful Mogu Mogu, a fruit juice drink with chewy nata de coco that transformed the global beverage landscape. In addition, SAPPE developed Sappe Beauti Drink, a functional beverage line that reflects its commitment to women’s well-being and self-care. Last year, SAPPE launched the powerful “Self-Love” campaign, encouraging women to embrace their inner beauty and become agents of social change.SAPPE also strongly upholds the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Women make up 53% of the company’s workforce and 60% of its senior management an outcome that reflects its values in action. Speaking on leadership and internal culture, Ms. Ruckariyapong highlighted SAPPE’s flat organizational structure that enables inclusive decision-making, two-way communication, and a workplace culture built on mutual respect. Communication with stakeholders occurs through multiple channels, such as quarterly meetings with shareholders, social listening platforms for consumer feedback, and open-door policies allow employees at all levels to directly engage with senior management.“My door is always open. I respectfully encourage everyone to speak up. That’s how we align the organization to move forward as one,” she shared.As the leader of a global company, she also emphasized the importance of respecting cultural diversity and avoiding one-size-fits-all strategies across countries. She believes that CEOs must “Walk The Talk,” upholding transparency, honesty, and accountability in every action not only to shareholders and consumers, but also to society.In terms of engaging the new generation, she noted that 20% of SAPPE’s workforce is Gen Z, and that this demographic values purpose deeply. “They want to know what they’re doing, why it matters, and what impact it creates. That’s why we ensure that our mission, values, and goals are communicated clearly. We also support mental well-being, set clear performance benchmarks, and build a culture of belonging,” she explained. This approach helps SAPPE remain agile and innovative in an ever-evolving world.Her participation in the Global Summit of Women reflects not only SAPPE’s growing international presence but also a broader message that Thai companies can be a force for good on the global stage. With creativity, vision, and a commitment to meaningful values, businesses can lead cultural sustainability not just through numbers, but through the courage to drive positive change.About the Global Summit of WomenThe Global Summit of Women is one of the most influential international platforms advancing women's leadership in business, government, and civil society.
