(AsiaGameHub) - New system allows players to earn ongoing rewards from gameplay, with no minimum thresholds or tier requirementsGlobal crypto gaming platform BC.GAME has introduced BC Engine, a novel rewards mechanism designed to provide players with continuous value from their platform activities.This update implements a model inspired by crypto staking, enabling players to accrue rewards after receiving the platform's native token, $BC.Within the new framework, players earn $BC through wagering as they normally would. However, instead of serving as a one-time incentive, the token is automatically directed into BC Engine, where it contributes to ongoing reward distributions.These rewards are disbursed hourly in BCD, BC.GAME's USD-pegged token, with the distribution amount for each player determined by their $BC balance at the time of payout.The objective of this change is to enhance reward consistency and transparency, more directly linking player engagement to returned value. The model also aligns reward funding more closely with actual gaming performance, rather than relying predominantly on promotional expenditures.Crucially, BC Engine is accessible to all players from the outset. There are no tier prerequisites or minimum wagering thresholds, meaning users can begin earning rewards from their very first bet.In addition to BC Engine, the platform has rolled out further enhancements to its rewards program, including a Welcome Shield protection feature for new users, alongside updated daily, weekly, and monthly rewards.This launch coincides with BC.GAME's ongoing expansion into regulated markets, where the company is increasing its focus on compliance, local collaborations, and sustainable long-term growth. Recent adjustments have seen the platform adapt its offerings to better align with jurisdictional mandates, aiming to solidify its standing in licensed environments while continuing to serve its global crypto user base.Kar Kheng Giam, Chief Executive Officer of BC.GAME, stated: “Our aim is for rewards to be simpler, more immediate, and more sustainable. Players should experience value from the moment they begin playing, without the need to achieve specific milestones first.”“Through BC Engine, $BC plays a continuous role in how players are rewarded on the platform.”The new features are now operational across various markets, with availability contingent on local regulations.

十五年前，你未曾看過的最佳諜報驚悚片為該類型注入新生命
Focus Features(SeaPRwire) - 在《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》（Hanna）中有一幕畫面，那是導演喬·萊特（Joe Wright）的一次罕見轉型，自該片於 2011 年首映以來，我便不曾再想起它。但當我瞥見當時 15 歲的瑟夏·羅南（Saoirse Ronan），那漂白的淺色眉毛讓她的藍色雙眼顯得更加冰冷，手持弓箭，我便在瞬間的靈魂出竅般的清醒中，回想起當年對這部電影的痴迷。《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》在 15 年前上映時，就像是某種願望的實現。萊特此前已憑藉《傲慢與偏見》（Pride & Prejudice）和《贖罪》（Atonement）這兩部佳作贏得了青少年女孩觀眾的喜愛——但隨著 2010 年代的到來，他進入了一個實驗階段，而這一切實際上始於這部狂野的大雜燴電影，它介於黑暗童話、成長電影和間諜驚悚片之間。當時的影評人可能不知道該如何評價這個故事，但在 15 歲，也就是與羅南飾演的同名女主角相同的年紀，萊特向龐克搖滾風格的轉型，觸動了我內心萌芽的龐克魂。在接連執導了兩部時代浪漫劇後，萊特渴望解構他憑藉處女作和第二部成功作品所輕而易舉建立的名聲。「我當時想把這一切都打破，」他當時告訴 IndieWire。「我喜歡我們可以自由改變和發展的想法。我認為在整個職業生涯中一直拍同類型的電影會非常無聊。」《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》絕對不「無聊」。影片改編自編劇賽斯·洛赫德（Seth Lochhead）的故事，講述了一名年輕女孩（羅南飾）的一生都住在北極圈的偏遠地帶，跟隨父親（艾瑞克·巴納飾）學習如何狩獵和戰鬥。巴納飾演的艾瑞克是一名在漢娜出生後便脫離機構的叛逃 CIA 探員，他正默默地為漢娜的技能接受考驗的那一天做準備。她的第一個任務是刺殺瑪麗莎·威格勒（凱特·布蘭琪飾），她是艾瑞克的前上司，而《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》節奏明快的第一幕在建立雙方敵對關係方面充滿了樂趣。一旦漢娜被釋放出來，萊特便沉溺於偏執的鏡頭運動中，鏡頭圍繞著主角傾斜與旋轉，並透過快速剪輯來體現她的感官過載。羅南體現了漢娜試圖變得鋼鐵般堅強與致命的真誠努力，以及她那種生澀的純真。當然，她被訓練過如何以最高效率折斷人類的脖子，並建立天衣無縫的掩護身份，但她完全不知道該如何……當一個女孩。當她偶然遇到一個在摩洛哥旅行的波希米亞風格英國家庭，並出人意料地與他們心直口快的青春期女兒（潔西卡·巴登飾）建立起聯繫時，她跌跌撞撞地進入了一場青少年生活的速成課程，這既讓人感到親切——甚至可能帶點浪漫——又讓人感到尷尬。從各種意義上來說，這都是一段繞路，因為她本應在柏林與父親會合以完成她的第一個任務。但隨著威格勒及其全球聯絡人（包括由湯姆·荷蘭德飾演的令人毛骨悚然的德國刺客）的緊追不捨，她所追求的幸福結局將很難贏得，如果她真的能贏得的話。邪惡的女巫和大灰狼在《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》中以更微妙的形式出現。 | Focus Features正是童話元素彌合了安靜的孩童好奇心與黑暗的成人主題之間的鴻溝，漢娜的旅程呈現出諸如《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》（Alice in Wonderland）或《糖果屋》（Hansel and Gretel）等故事的經典節奏。格林兄弟（Brothers Grimm）是《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》的重要基石：在眾多對其作品的暗示中，我們的女主角被指示在「格林之家」與父親會合，那是廢棄遊樂園內的一個小屋。威格勒被比作邪惡的女巫；荷蘭德飾演的惡鬼艾薩克則有點像大灰狼。根據洛赫德的說法，萊特竭力在任何可能的地方強化童話寓言。「他找到了一種驚人的方式，對故事的潛台詞進行了字面上的詮釋，」這位編劇告訴 Focus。「對他來說，這個有著黑森林和邪惡女巫的故事就是一個童話。」由 Chemical Brothers 創作的配樂也發揮了極大的作用。他們構建的音景緊隨 2010 年打破現狀的流行電子原聲帶之後，而這些原聲帶如今已成為一種新的經典——想想 Daft Punk 的《創：光速戰記》（Tron: Legacy）配樂，或是崔特·雷澤諾（Trent Reznor）和阿提克斯·羅斯（Atticus Ross）在《社群網戰》（The Social Network）中的作品。當時，這種趨勢才剛剛開始，而《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》完美地融入了這股浪潮，為其扣人心弦的動作場面提供了跳動的合成器音效，並為漢娜的內心獨白提供了閃爍的樂器演奏。這一切都觸及了困擾許多女孩內心世界的焦慮風暴，即放下童年事物並擁抱女性身份新觀念的掙扎。這種掙扎很容易被視為理所當然，但 15 年後，很少有作品能像《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》那樣讓這種掙扎顯得如此強烈。《少女殺手的奇幻旅程》可在 Prime Video、Apple TV 及其他數位平台租借或購買。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。

凡妮莎死了嗎？夜魔俠：重生第二季將如何改編一個經典的漫畫故事線？
Marvel Studios(SeaPRwire) - 自從2015年Marvel的《Daredevil》第一季以來，薇薇安·菲斯克一直是關鍵人物，也是馬特·默多克和威爾遜·菲斯克之間殘酷衝突中的「麥克白夫人」。她是第一個接受金霸王本質的人，不懼怕、不欺騙、不虛偽，這份支持推動威爾遜更加自信地展現他野獸般的一面。那麼，她丈夫的野獸本性最終也會影響到她——正如在原版Netflix劇集的三季中那樣。在那裡，我們看到薇薇安越來越深地陷入威爾遜的犯罪帝國，即使他們短暫、被迫的分離也無法平息他們重塑紐約市的渴望。現在，在《Daredevil: Born Again》第二季第4集「Gloves Off」中，薇薇安的劇情線可能會演變成一個直接取材於某個特定漫畫故事線的情節。 接下來有劇透。在 revived series《Daredevil: Born Again》的第二季中，薇薇安已經確立了自己作為冷酷無情的「白皇后」的地位，在丈夫缺席期間維持紐約市五大犯罪家族的和平，甚至派精神不穩定的刺客霸錘去對付傑夫·尼爾森，以掩蓋她關於紅鉤自由港的不法交易。但看來她種下的果實已經變成了苦果——截至昨晚的劇集，薇薇安可能會為了她與金霸王的關係付出最終的代價，在另一場由霸錘發起的暗殺企圖後陷入絕境。回到源頭材料，這並不是薇薇安·菲斯克第一次面臨生命危險，這個相同的故事線可能會為《Born Again》接下來的發展提供線索。The complex relationship between Vanessa Fisk and her husband Wilson is a crucial part of Born Again and also one of Daredevil’s most praised storylines. | Marvel Studios薇薇安·菲斯克的《Born Again》劇情線借鑒了她的漫畫正史在漫畫正史中，薇薇安·菲斯克不像在劇集中那樣是威爾遜帝國的共犯——她經常推動他放棄金霸王的身份，兩人甚至生了一個名叫理查德的兒子，被送去瑞士讀書。各種威脅他們生命的壓力以及她丈夫與犯罪之間斷斷續續的關係，導致他將她送往歐洲單獨安置。與此同時，他們的兒子理查德回來了，指責他的父親不斷包圍他們的犯罪旋風，並想要分一杯羹，這種渴望最終導致理查德策劃了一次對他父親的暗殺企圖。（這段背景故事始於1970年的《The Amazing Spider-Man #83》。雖然2004-2005年的《Daredevil》漫畫讓理查德回歸。）得知這一消息後，薇薇安會回到地獄廚房處理她丈夫的事務（這與她在《Born Again》之前的幕後崛起方式類似），屠殺那些對他謀殺企圖負責的人。這包括她自己的兒子，這一事件在情感和心理上粉碎了她，所以當發現她患有一種未公開的絕症時，她試圖了結一切，並接受自己逐漸枯萎的命運。Not quite Wilson’s eager partner in the comics, the weight of her husband’s criminal activities take a physical and spiritual toll on Vanessa. | Marvel Comics這些未了之事恰好就是她的丈夫和他的死對頭夜魔俠，這兩個人她都怪罪導致了兒子的死亡和家庭的毀滅。從幕後，薇薇安策劃了一系列事件，公開曝光了馬特的秘密身份，讓他和菲斯克都入獄，然後假裝殺了傑夫·尼爾森，希望這兩個敵人互相毀滅。當馬特逃脫並發現真相後，薇薇安反客為主，操縱系統恢復了馬特的聲譽……卻被迫利用他律師的技能將金霸王也釋放，這是薇薇安認為會成為默多克靈魂上最終污點的事情。Born Again似乎正在融合兩個漫畫故事線所以，顯而易見的是，雖然劇集正在改編布萊恩·邁克爾·本迪斯和埃德·布魯巴克接連推出的兩個備受讚譽的故事線中的片段，但某些元素還是對不上——威爾遜和薇薇安沒有兒子，薇薇安對丈夫沒有惡意，她也不是因為不明原因的疾病而死。然而，這並不意味著她的死亡不能充當馬特秘密身份洩露並入獄的替代催化劑。Vanessa’s influence and her importance to the Kingpin could still end up shaping Daredevil’s ultimate fate. | Marvel Studios儘管菲斯克整季都在拒絕透露馬特的身份，因為他害怕挑戰他自己將夜魔俠標籤為反派，但失去妻子的潛在風險可能會讓一個通常危險的人變得更加危險和絕望，特別是考慮到在金霸王的視角看來，夜魔俠似乎剛剛救了霸錘的命。如果馬特確實成功將金霸王趕下市長寶座，誰能說這不會是一場慘勝，代價是馬特失去了自由和聲譽？ 即使薇薇安不像在漫畫中那樣拉線，她仍然有可能是《Born Again》第三季作為經典故事線《D號牢房的惡魔》鬆散改編的催化劑——而現在，就像金霸王和馬特無盡戰鬥中的許多其他時刻一樣，一切都取決於菲斯克夫人。Daredevil: Born Again每週二在Disney+播出。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。
蜘蛛侠之传说可能会再次引发诸多令人不安的恐怖模式
Marvel Studios(SeaPRwire) - 距離粉絲們迎來湯姆·霍蘭德飾演的蜘蛛人最新力作《Brand New Day》還有幾個月的時間——但漫威電影的製作團隊正盡可能地利用每一分空閒時間。霍蘭德最近透露，儘管主要拍攝已經殺青，但他仍參與了補拍，以讓《Brand New Day》更臻完美。這位演員告訴《GQ》：「我可以肯定地說，我們正在做的事情並非必需。」「這部電影本身已經很出色了。我們只是在某些地方錦上添花。」很難完全相信《Brand New Day》不需要任何額外的鏡頭。霍蘭德正在與導演德斯汀·丹尼爾·克雷頓（Destin Daniel Cretton）一起拍攝，而補拍通常是為了讓一個不夠完善的敘事更具連貫性而必須進行的，而不是為了已經很出色的電影而進行的「好玩」的選擇。當然，霍蘭德的堅持是有道理的。觀眾們已經習慣了對「補拍」這個詞感到擔憂，儘管它很常見——尤其是在漫威電影中。《Spider-Man: Brand New Day》正在進行補拍。這會是好事嗎？ | Marvel Studios不過，並非所有漫威項目都像《Captain America: Brave New World》那樣，經歷了驚人的三輪大規模補拍。可以說，這部2025年的電影在試圖將一個新反派（吉安卡洛·艾斯波席托飾演的Sidewinder）融入一部已經擁擠不堪的電影時，犯了一個重大錯誤。這種想法是值得讚賞的，但最終卻浪費了資源：Sidewinder 的戲份實在不足以支撐他在這個故事中的角色，即使他的角色是為了在之後的某個作品中扮演更重要的角色而設計的。理想情況下，漫威已經從這個錯誤中吸取了教訓——但霍蘭德的評論可能預示著相反的情況。根據霍蘭德的說法，《Brand New Day》的補拍重點是「以新的方式疊加反派情節」，以及增加更多幽默感等其他優先事項。他的評論含糊其辭，還不足以敲響警鐘，但仍應引起我們的警惕。蜘蛛人電影最糟糕的習慣之一——尤其是霍蘭德之前系列電影的習慣——就是反派過多。《Spider-Man: Homecoming》和《Far From Home》通過一次只專注於一個反派而避免了這個問題，但《No Way Home》則擁擠不堪，不僅有來自舊蜘蛛人電影的反派，還有前幾代蜘蛛人。《Brand New Day》中出現的將不僅僅是The Hand。 | Marvel Studios《Brand New Day》也將同樣充實。克雷頓邀請了像懲罰者（Jon Bernthal）這樣的反英雄、前復仇者聯盟成員布魯斯·班納（Mark Ruffalo），以及一群小反派，如蠍子（Michael Mando）、變色龍（Tarantula）、迴旋鏢（Boomerang）和殘酷的忍者組織「The Hand」。還有一個尚未揭曉的神秘反派，其能力使其成為一種操縱者：他們可以進入受害者的思想並隨意控制他們的身體。這可能是莎蒂·辛克（Sadie Sink）飾演的神秘角色，或者這位《Stranger Things》的明星可能飾演一個不同的反派（或戀愛對象！）完全有可能。而這可能不是克雷頓唯一的驚喜——所以補拍能為電影帶來的任何清晰度都應該受到歡迎。只要製作團隊沒有試圖將一個全新的反派硬塞進這些混亂的劇情中，《Brand New Day》就應該能順利完成。《Spider-Man: Brand New Day》將於7月31日上映。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。
Proprietary IP Drives Growth, Overseas Business Accelerates Expansion – TOP TOY Vies for New Leadership in Pop Toy Industry
HONG KONG, Apr 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In recent years, young consumers’ preferences have evolved rapidly, with demand for personalization and experiential consumption becoming increasingly prominent. Young consumers’ choices are profoundly rewriting the inherent logic of industry competition — what they seek is not only products, but emotional value and cultural resonance. This is particularly evident in the spiritual consumption space represented by pop toys. The market’s appetite for high quality products that combine design aesthetics, emotional depth, and social attributes continues to grow.Among the many emerging brands, TOP TOY targets Gen Z consumers, family customers, and loyal brand fans as its core audience. Backed by a diverse product portfolio, robust IP operation capabilities, and strong financial performance, it is widely recognized in the market as an industry benchmark in the pop toy sector with both high growth potential and significant brand influence. According to Frost & Sullivan, TOP TOY is the largest and fastest-growing pop toy multi-brand store chain in China, with GMV reaching RMB4.2 billion in mainland China in 2025.Financially, TOP TOY has achieved rapid revenue growth in recent years. Revenue rose from RMB1.461 billion in 2023 to RMB3.587 billion in 2025, representing a CAGR of 56.7%, marking a leap forward in scale. Gross margin improved steadily from 31.4% in 2023 to 32.1% in 2025, reflecting a gradual uplift in overall profitability. Affected by one-off non-cash items such as equity-settled share-based payment expenses and fair value changes on redemption liabilities liabilities, the Company posted a net profit of RMB101 million in 2025. Adjusted net profit reached RMB523 million, up 77.5% year-on-year, demonstrating strong growth momentum.Full Value Chain Layout: Building Competitive Moats in the Pop Toy IndustryThe core competitiveness of the pop toy industry lies not only in IP creation, but also in the ability to turn content into a sustainable business system that maximizes IP value. What makes TOP TOY unique is that it has built an integrated platform covering all key links of the industry value chain. TOP TOY is one of only two brands in the industry that have achieved full coverage of the pop toy full industry chain, from IP incubation and operation to direct consumer interaction, while holding a leading position across the entire chain. This allows the Company to build a distinctive competitive moat.In the IP incubation and product R&D stage, TOP TOY focuses on self-developed products and adopts a parallel strategy of “proprietary + licensed + third-party” IPs, forming a diverse IP resource pool. As of the end of March 2026, TOP TOY has built an IP matrix comprising 24 proprietary IPs, 42 licensed IPs, and over 660 third-party IPs. Among these, its self-developed products accounted for over 55% of revenue, establishing it as a highly competitive trendy toy brand in the industry.In terms of product R&D, TOP TOY focuses on three core categories — model figures, 3D building blocks, and vinyl plush toys. Among these, vinyl plush toys have emerged as the most prominent growth category, with its revenue share increasing significantly from 3.5% in 2024 to 31.6% in 2025, generating RMB1.102 billion for the full year. Meanwhile, through its “X-category” mechanism, it develops products across diverse categories to flexibly seize market opportunities.In the channel sales stage, TOP TOY has constructed an omni-channel network with both depth and breadth, enabling in-depth access to global trendy culture consumers. Offline, it adopts a hierarchical layout of “flagship + mainstream + pop-up”, with the number of stores reaching 334 as of December 31, 2025. By providing immersive interactive experiences, it achieves effective brand exposure and enables the Company to promptly collect first-hand user feedback, providing information for the Company’s product design and channel selection strategies. Online, it covers major e-commerce platforms and distributes products through large retailers such as Sam’s Club and Don Don Donki, as well as other diversified retail channels. This omni-channel layout not only expands the scope of consumer reach but also forms a consumption closed loop of “offline experience - online repurchase”. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had 12 million registered members, making it one of the companies with the largest member base in the trendy toy industry.Leveraging the integrated operation of full value chain, TOP TOY has achieved synergy across all links — the richness of its IP portfolio ensures product appeal, the extensiveness of its channels expands market coverage and establishes emotional connections with consumers, and the Company has also built strong ecosystem partnerships. The linkage of these three elements drives the maximization of IP value, forming a rare full-industry-chain competitiveness among domestic trendy play enterprises.Taking the Proprietary IP Matrix as the Core: Building a Core Engine for Long-term GrowthThrough its in-house original IP incubation team, TOP TOY has created many popular proprietary IP characters. The Company is dedicated to promoting these proprietary IPs to expand their reach across diverse markets, foster deeper audience engagement, and drive sustained growth. On the other hand, through the acquisition of multiple IP design studios such as Sure Fun and Sugar Pocket, TOP TOY has integrated IPs like “Nommi” and “Ninimo ” into its proprietary IP matrix, accelerating its IP layout process.As of the end of March 2026, TOP TOY had 24 proprietary IPs. Among them, the “Nommi” IP delivered an outstanding performance, with its 2025 GMV exceeding RMB200 million. Proprietary IPs not only attract consumers through unique designs and cultural connotations but also extend their life cycles and amplify their value through diversified operational strategies, such as the continuous release of new product series, the creation of offline experiential scenarios, and cross-over IP collaborations.Furthermore, TOP TOY continues to consolidate long-term, stable cooperative relationships with top global IPs such as Sanrio, Disney and Crayon Shin-chan. By creating hit products through IP reinvention, the Company not only rapidly broadens market awareness but also accumulates mature IP operation experience and consumer insights, laying a solid foundation for the development of its self-developed products.Leveraging the continuous expansion of its proprietary IP matrix and stable licensing cooperation with major IPs, the Company continues to intensify its layout of self-developed products. As the proportion of self-developed products steadily increases, its scale effect continues to be unleashed, driving a continuous improvement in the overall gross margin. Looking ahead, with an increasing revenue contribution from self-developed products and the impact of economies of scale, the Company’s gross margin is expected to rise further, unlocking greater profit elasticity.Accelerating Global Expansion to Open Up New Growth SpaceNotably, while consolidating its advantages in the Chinese market, TOP TOY is extending its business reach to overseas markets. To date, the Company has entered markets such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Japan, with the number of overseas stores reaching 39. In terms of revenue, the proportion of TOP TOY’s overseas business rapidly increased from 0.6% to 8.2%, fully demonstrating strong overseas growth momentum.In terms of market potential, the overseas global pop toy market still has significant growth space. Taking mature consumer markets such as North America and Europe as examples, local consumers have a relatively high per capita consumption amount on pop toy, and their willingness to pay for original IP and cultural recognition are also prominent. However, the layout of emerging pop toy categories in local markets is still relatively limited, and the overall market penetration rate is at a low level, with broad incremental space and potential for exploration in the future. The above market advantages and development opportunities together constitute the core logic and realistic basis for TOP TOY to focus on laying out the above developed country markets. In the future, relying on the advantages of the full value chain synergy and mature IP operation experience, the overseas market is expected to become an important incremental engine for the Company.The market’s attention to pop toy companies is essentially a consideration of their IP operation capabilities and sustainability. TOP TOY has demonstrated a clear development logic by virtue of its two core advantages: the fully integrated platform and a diversified IP matrix. Amid accelerating consolidation in the pop toy industry and rising consumer demand, if TOP TOY can continue to deepen the synergy effect of the full value chain, strengthen the influence of its proprietary IP, and superimpose the gradual growth of the overseas incremental market, it is expected to seize opportunities in the fragmented market pattern, further solidifying its industry leadership and unlocking long-term potential.

五十年後，星際大戰最重要角色的回歸尚不明朗
Archive Photos/Moviepix/Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 路克·天行者正前往托許站拿一些能量轉換器，他希望在他離開時，新的《星際大戰》角色能接手他的工作。路克會離開多久？也許是永遠。截至2026年4月初，馬克·漢米爾再次登上頭條談論《星際大戰》，但與此同時，他似乎已從這個系列退休。最近在2024年，他還為《樂高星際大戰：重建銀河》中的另一個路克·天行者配音。到了2025年，他表示自己已經演完這個角色，但漢米爾也正與樂高進行更多合作來支持《星際大戰》。所以，到底是哪一種情況？我們是否已經看到——或聽到——路克·天行者的最後身影？或者，隨著原版電影50週年紀念日即將到來，那位塔圖因的農場男孩是否正悄悄準備再次回歸？馬克·漢米爾於2025年。| NBC/NBCUniversal/Getty Images「我已經有過我的時代了，」據報導，漢米爾在《Variety》2026年的一篇報導中如此說道。「我認為他們應該專注於未來和所有新角色。」嚴格來說，這段引述來自2025年，並且是在漢米爾為一篇《USA Today》的訪談提供新見解的背景下被使用。在那次訪談中，他被問及各種話題，包括即將到來的1977年原版《星際大戰》50週年紀念，以及他對戴夫·費羅尼在Lucasfilm接替凱薩琳·甘迺迪的看法。「喬治（盧卡斯）是戴夫（費羅尼）的導師，所以他了解喬治的感性，」漢米爾在2026年4月6日發表的《USA Today》訪談中說道。漢米爾還補充說，他覺得就這個系列的未來而言，他「想不出更好的人選了」。《Variety》的報導將漢米爾近期對費羅尼的讚揚，與這位演員2018年對萊恩·強森在《STAR WARS：最後的絕地武士》中一些令他沮喪的評論並列。但漢米爾新的《USA Today》訪談並非在重提過去所有《最後的絕地武士》的爭議；那只是其他記者提供的背景。假設性地，人們可以想像漢米爾可能更傾向於在費羅尼的監督下回歸飾演路克·天行者，而非在甘迺迪時代，但漢米爾實際上並未這麼說過。雖然漢米爾確實在2020年《曼達洛人》的〈救援〉一集中，以及再次在《波巴·費特之書》的〈來自沙漠的陌生人〉一集中，幫助讓年輕版的路克·天行者復活，而費羅尼對此也負有部分責任，但這並不意味著漢米爾會在短期內回歸飾演路克·天行者。奇怪的是，反過來說也成立。雖然《Variety》的文章暗示了一個關於兩個《星際大戰》時代的故事——甘迺迪和強森對比費羅尼——而馬克·漢米爾夾在中間，但真相要模糊得多。漢米爾似乎樂於談論《星際大戰》玩具，並回憶第一部電影在1977年席捲全球的時刻。但是，路克·天行者更正式的回歸是否正在考慮中？在缺乏證據的情況下，正如尤達所說，未來總是在變動。如果要下注，漢米爾在新的費羅尼時代回歸飾演路克的機率，是否會比在之前的甘迺迪時代更高？是的，但有一個前提：路克·天行者出現在甘迺迪製作的所有三部《星際大戰》電影中，以及前述的《曼達洛人》和《波巴·費特》劇集中。儘管如此，隨著《星際大戰》50週年紀念日即將到來，以及其最關鍵的演員正在進行宣傳，粉絲和評論家們自然會想知道我們是否真的已經見到了路克的最後一面。漢米爾將永遠是粉絲圈中溫暖而友好的存在；在獲選演出《星際大戰》之前，他就是個超級漫畫迷。「我買了每一本漫畫，大概16本，（然後）分送給朋友，」漢米爾告訴《USA Today》。因此，當《星際大戰》明年慶祝其黃金週年紀念時，也許那才是馬克·漢米爾和路克·天行者真正的未來：一位在場邊的啦啦隊員，與粉絲們交流他們最喜歡的宅趣事物。星際大戰（1977）將於2027年2月重返戲院。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。
Seres delivers strong 2025 results, eyes path to become China’s answer to Mercedes-Benz and BMW
HONG KONG, Apr 9, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The luxury NEV maker has now been profitable for two consecutive years, signaling more stable footing in a competitive market.Caption: Image courtesy of Seres Group.Driven by policy support, shifting consumer demand, and advances in technology, China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) industry is entering a new phase of development, with Seres Group positioning itself at its center. On April 8, the Hong Kong-listed NEV maker (ticker code: 9927.HK) reported results that reflect its technology capabilities, product lineup, and international expansion strategy.In 2025, Seres recorded operating revenue of RMB 164.89 billion (USD 24 billion), up 13.63% year-on-year. Net profit attributable to shareholders reached RMB 5.96 billion (USD 867.3 million). Revenue hit a record high, and the company said it has now reported profitability for two consecutive years, achieving a notable milestone in an industry where many players remain loss-making.Aito builds position in luxury NEV segmentSeres attributed its latest performance to ongoing product development and brand positioning. It said it continues to align its strategy with user demand while refining its product mix and market focus.As an early entrant into China’s premium NEV segment, the company has sought to differentiate through what it describes as “technology luxury,” a term it uses to position its vehicles.Its premium brand, Aito, reported strong delivery figures for 2025. The Aito M9 exceeded 110,000 units in annual deliveries and was described by the company as the bestselling model in the RMB 500,000 (USD 72,757) segment for two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025. Meanwhile, the Aito M8 delivered more than 150,000 units during the year, maintaining its position as the top-selling model in the RMB 400,000 (USD 58,206) segment since launch. The Aito M7 also surpassed 110,000 units.Combined, these three models pushed Aito’s total annual deliveries above 420,000 units. Seres said this made Aito the leading high-end automotive brand in China by sales and set a new delivery pace in the segment.Beyond product performance, the figures point to the broader rise of Chinese brands in the premium global automotive market.In assisted driving, Seres said it increased R&D investment and made technical progress. In 2025, Aito vehicles accumulated 3.8 billion kilometers of assisted driving mileage. During the 2026 Lunar New Year holiday, 51.9% of mileage driven by Aito M9 vehicles was generated using assisted driving functions, according to the company. These figures indicate growing adoption and suggest increasing maturity of the company’s assisted driving system.Seres added that the data and expertise accumulated to date will support further development and iteration of its assisted driving systems.Strong cash flow and ESG positioningThe company’s financial position also strengthened. As of December 31, 2025, net cash flow from operating activities reached RMB 28.12 billion (USD 4.1 billion), nearly five times its net profit. Seres attributed this to its robust cash flow management and revenue generation, which it said provide resilience against industry cycles and support continued investment in R&D, product development, and international expansion.Seres also emphasized its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) efforts. It said it has sought to integrate ESG principles across R&D and supply chain operations, with a focus on achieving long-term sustainability and alignment with broader societal and environmental goals.Its endeavors have earned it an AAA ESG rating from MSCI, its highest tier, according to the company. The rating reflects its governance framework and ESG management, and may influence its appeal to both retail and institutional investors.Looking ahead, Seres plans to focus on expanding production capacity, investing further in core technologies, and broadening its distribution network.Often compared with Western luxury automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz and BMW, Seres has had to manage high expectations around product quality and brand positioning. Its latest results, if anything, suggest it is not only making progress toward meeting those expectations, but also hint at its potential to eventually surpass them.

Current Chief Executive Officer Dean Hanish will remain on the board and transition to non-executive director.Mr Davidson and Mr Rees founded AIM-listed Trident Royalties. Trident grew from a small AIM-listed shell into a diversified mining royalty company over a relatively short period, demonstrating a highly effective growth and acquisition strategy. From its listing, the company rapidly assembled a portfolio of royalties and offtakes across multiple commodities and jurisdictions through disciplined deal-making and creative financing structures. Over four years, Trident expanded to holding more than twenty assets acquired through a series of transactions, building meaningful market awareness and liquidity in the process. The strategy culminated in the acquisition of the company by Deterra Royalties in 2024 for circa US$200 million.Mr Parsons and Mr Naylor are the founding Directors of several highly successful ASX-listed resources companies having identified, acquired and funded projects, devised and implemented exploration and development strategies and created substantial shareholder value.Mr Parsons and Mr Naylor founded ASX200 Bellevue Gold Limited (ASX: BGL) leading the business through discovery, funding, development and construction of the 3 million oz Bellevue gold mine in Western Australia.They are also founding directors and executives of ASX300 (and TSX) FireFly Metals and were instrumental in the successful acquisition and subsequent growth of the Green Bay Copper-Gold Project in Newfoundland, Canada.Prior to that Mr Parsons was the founding Managing Director and Mr Naylor was the Chief Financial Officer of Gryphon Minerals Ltd, which discovered a large multi-million ounce gold project in Burkina Faso, West Africa and grew to be an ASX200 company prior to its takeover by a significant North American gold company and becoming a major gold producing mine.Mr Brooks complements this track record, having served as Chief Geologist of Bellevue Gold, and previously as a director of Auteco, now FireFly Metals, as well as a key technical geologist at Gryphon Minerals.Royalty PurchaseStria has entered into the Investment Agreement for the acquisition of up to a 2% NSR royalty on the Mount Henry Gold Project in Western Australia.

Sc., MAIG, Principal Consultant Geologist and an independent Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101. Brian Wolfe is a consultant to Stria.Historical Mineral Resource Disclosure While the historical estimates on the Mt Henry Gold Project were reportedly prepared in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC Code") (2012) in effect at the time, consistency with current standards is not assured. The Company considers these historical estimates to be relevant as they indicate the potential presence and scale of mineralization on the Mt Henry Gold Project. The historical resource categories used are consistent with those defined in NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves; however, a QP has not done sufficient work to classify these historical estimates as current mineral resources, and the Company is not treating them as current mineral resources.The Mt Henry historical resource estimate was reported on the 17th of December 2025 0n the Australian securities exchange (ASX) by Alicanto Minerals Ltd prepared using the JORC code of reporting. Reporting classification is consistent with the CIM code of reporting. The historical resource estimate has been reviewed by the QP who has confirmed the historical estimate has been appropriately estimated.To the extent known and insofar as existing available documentation indicates, the historical estimate described can be considered to be reliable under the JORC code (2012). The description of work undertaken, assumptions and chosen parameters demonstrate competency in the procedures and workflow required. Although historical data back to 1980 has been included, sufficient detail is maintained in the available database to ensure integrity. Only suitable drilling (Diamond core and RC) and surveying techniques have been employed. Sampling and assaying techniques described are to industry standard. The estimation methodology, Ordinary Kriging with Localised Uniform Kriging post processing are standard methods and appropriate for the style of mineralization. The reporting classification of Measured, Indicated and Inferred is consistent with the CIM code of reporting. Applied mining factors and assumptions appear reasonable. A history of mining with good reconciliation of mine claimed to mill recovered provides confidence in the accuracy of the estimate.Key assumptions and parameters of the December 2025 historical Resource Estimate reproduced from the AQI ASX press release dated 17th of December 2025 are tabulated below.CriteriaExplanationCommentaryDatabase IntegrityMeasures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes.Data validation procedures used.As new data was acquired it passed through a validation approval system designed to pick up any significant errors before the information is loaded into the master database.The Competent Person, Mr Palich, has undertaken sufficient independent checks on the database integrity to conclude there are no material discrepanciesA visual review of down hole survey outcomes has shown no material deviations Site VisitsComment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits.If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the caseA site visit was made by the Competent Person, Mr Ben Palich, on December 9, 2025.During the visit Mr Palich discussed the logging facilities, geological and logging processes, sampling and core handling process and operating procedures. Additionally, existing open pit excavations were reviewed, and Mr Palich observed the location of a number of collar locations from the drilling.Geological interpretationConfidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit.Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation.The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation.The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geologyConfidence in the geological interpretation at MHGP is high. The current geological interpretation has been a precursor to successful mining over the yearsThe data and assumptions used do suggest that any significant alternative geological interpretation is unlikely.Geology (lithological units, alterations, structure, veining) have been used to guide and control Mineral Resource estimation for MHGP. There is a strong geological control to the mineralisation interpretation. The deposit is essentially strata hosted within a sheared Banded Iron Formation (BIF). The shear is essentially contiguous along the upper contact of the BIF and an overlying mafic unitNo alternative interpretations are currently considered viable.Geological interpretation of the deposit was carried out using a systematic approach to ensure that the resultant estimated Mineral Resource was both sufficiently constrained, and representative of the expected sub-surface conditions. In all aspects of resource estimation the factual and interpreted geology was used to guide the development of the interpretation.Geological matrixes were established to assist with interpretation and construction of the estimation domains.The structural regime is the dominant control on geological and grade continuity in the Goldfields. Lithological factors such as rheology contrast are secondary controls on grade distribution.Low-grade stockpiles are derived from previous mining of the mineralisation styles outlined above.DimensionsThe extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length(along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the mineral ResourceThe Mt Henry mineralised domain is approximately 2km long and has a down dip extent of 280m and is open at depth. The deposit consists of a main lode that varies between 3m and 40m thick with numerous parallel lodesThe Selene mineralised domain is approximately 1.3km long, has a down dip of extent of up to 440m and is open at depth. The deposit consists of a main lode that varies between 10m and 50m thick with numerous parallel lodes at various stages along the length of the deposit.The North Scotia mineralized domain is approximately 450m long and has a down dip of extent of 110m and is open at depth. The deposit consists of multiple NNE trending quartz lodes that vary between 1m and 5m in true thickness with numerous thinner parallel lodes at various stages along the length of the deposit.Low-grade stockpiles are of various dimensions.Estimation and modelling techniques.The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values, domaining, interpolation parameters, maximum distance of extrapolation from data points. The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of such data. The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products. Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of economic significance (e.g. sulphur for acid mine drainage characterisation).In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the average sample spacing and the search employed. Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units. Any assumptions about correlation between variables.The process of validation, the checking process used, the comparison of model data to drillhole data, and use of reconciliation data if available.After validating the drillhole data to be used in the estimation, interpretation of the orebody is undertaken in sectional and / or plan view to create the outline strings which form the basis of the three-dimensional orebody wireframe. Wireframing is then carried out using a combination of automated stitching algorithms and manual triangulation to create an accurate three-dimensional representation of the sub-surface mineralised body.Drillhole intersections within the mineralised body are defined, these intersections are then used to flag the appropriate sections of the drillhole database tables for compositing purposes. Drillholes are subsequently composited to allow for grade estimation. In all aspects of resource estimation, the factual and interpreted geology was used to guide the development of the interpretation.Once the sample data has been composited, a statistical analysis is undertaken to assist with determining estimation search parameters, top-cuts etc. Variographic analysis of individual domains is undertaken to assist with determining appropriate search parameters. Which are then incorporated with observed geological and geometrical features to determine the most appropriate search parameters.An empty block model is then created for the area of interest. This model contains attributes set at background values for the various elements of interest as well as density, and various estimation parameters that are subsequently used to assist in resource categorisation. The block sizes used in the model will vary depending on orebody geometry, minimum mining units, estimation parameters and levels of informing data available.Grade estimation was completed using ordinary kriging estimation method, and localised uniform conditioning (LUC) method.The resource is then depleted for mining voids and subsequently classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of various estimation derived parameters and geological/mining knowledge.Estimation results are routinely validated against primary input data, previous estimates and mining output.Good reconciliation between mine claimed figures and milled figures were routinely achieved during production.MoistureWhether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content.Tonnage estimates are dry tonnesCut-off parametersThe basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters appliedThe cut-off grades used for the reporting of the Mineral Resources have been selected based on the style of mineralisation, depth from surface of the mineralisation and the most probable extraction technique and associated costsMining factors or assumptionsAssumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining assumptions madeVariable by deposit.No mining dilution or ore loss has been modelled in the resource model or applied to the reported Mineral Resource with the exception of the Selene Mineral Resource which has implicit dilution included through the use of LUC.Metallurgical factors or assumptionsThe basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical assumptions made.Metallurgical recovery assumptions have been applied to reported Mineral Resources by reporting inside A$2160 pit shells and are based on test work and processing records from processing the Mt Henry deposit ore through the Higginsville plant.Assumed recoveries of oxide material for all deposits was 94%, whereas assumed recovery for fresh material at Mt Henry was 86.2%, Selene was 88.6%, and North Scotia was 82%.Environmental factors or assumptionsAssumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts, particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced, the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions made.The mine and exploration programs operated in accordance with all environmental conditions set down as conditions for grant of the respective leasesBulk densityWhether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions. If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc.), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit. Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials.Bulk density of the mineralisation is variable and is for the most part lithology and oxidation rather than mineralisation dependent.A large suite of bulk density determinations has been carried out across the project areas.The bulk densities were separated into different weathering domains and lithological domains.Past mining history has validated the assumptions made surrounding bulk density.ClassificationThe basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories.Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (i.e. relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data).Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit.Resources are classified in line with JORC guidelines utilising a combination of various estimation derived parameters, input data and geological / mining knowledge.Drillhole spacing to support classification varies based upon lode characteristics.Measured ranges from 10-35m, Indicated from 10-60m and Inferred from 10-200m.This approach considers all relevant factors and reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit.Audits or reviewsThe results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates.This Mineral Resource Estimate has not been reviewed or audited externally.The Mineral Resource estimates have been reviewed by Alicanto geologists and are considered to appropriately reflect the mineralization styles and grade tenor supported by drilling data.Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidenceWhere appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.All currently reported resource estimates are considered robust, and representative on both a global and local scale.A continuing history of mining with good reconciliation of mine claimed to mill recovered provides confidence in the accuracy of the estimate Work needed to convert the JORC MRE as described above includes (but is not limited to) the following:-Additional database checks to demonstrate the veracity of the data including checks of assay certificates against the master database.Analysis and review of all available assay quality control data.Review of the existing geological and mineralisation interpretations.A full geostatistical review and analysis using the resultant geological and mineralisation interpretations.Determination of the most appropriate geostatistical estimation methods applicable.Classification of the grade estimates consistent with the CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.Assessment of the classified grade estimates using suitable reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction (RPEEE) criteria and reporting of the Mineral Resource subsequent to application of the resultant RPEEE criteria.Neither Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.Completion of the Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions, including but not limited to, Exchange acceptance and shareholder approval. Where applicable, the Acquisition cannot close until the required shareholder approval is obtained.

特朗普可能惩罚北约，伊朗誓言报复以色列（照片、视频）
(SeaPRwire) - 德黑蘭譴責在黎巴嫩發生的「野蠻屠殺」平民事件，而華盛頓聲稱這並非停火協議的一部分 據報導，唐納德·特朗普總統正考慮懲罰那些拒絕協助美國對伊朗作戰的北約（NATO）成員國，儘管已宣布為期兩週的停火，但戰事仍在升級。 根據Wall Street Journal的消息來源，特朗普政府可能會從那些對美國戰機關閉領空或限制其基地用於打擊伊朗的歐洲北約成員國撤出美軍。 華盛頓與德黑蘭同意為期兩週的停戰，但在巴基斯坦會談前發生多起違規事件後，這項協議似乎變得脆弱。特朗普表示，伊朗透過巴基斯坦遞交的十點建議提供了一個「可行的談判基礎」——但由於副總統J.D. Vance所稱的「誤解」，黎巴嫩並未被納入協議中。 以色列對該國發動了迄今為止「最大規模」的系列攻擊，包括其首都貝魯特，據報導造成數百名平民死亡。伊朗譴責這次「野蠻屠殺」，而伊朗伊斯蘭革命衛隊（IRGC）航空航天部隊指揮官已承諾報復。 主要進展： 伊朗議長穆罕默德·巴蓋爾·加利巴夫（Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf）指控美國違反了德黑蘭十點建議中的三項關鍵條款，包括不遵守黎巴嫩停火協議、無人機侵入伊朗領空，以及「否認伊朗的濃縮權利」。 根據白宮表示，美國觀察到霍爾木茲海峽的船隻通行量有所增加。然而，主要海事業來源Lloyd’s List報導稱，自周三早些時候美伊停火協議宣布以來，只有三艘船隻通過霍爾木茲海峽。 據報導，美國副總統J.D. Vance將率領談判團隊在伊斯蘭堡與伊朗進行會談，特朗普特使賈里德·庫什納（Jared Kushner）和史蒂夫·威特科夫（Steve Witkoff）也將參加週六上午的第一輪會談。 請關注下方的實時報導以獲取最新消息。您也可以在此處閱讀我們之前的更新。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。
美國知名科學家死亡事件構成「令人不安的模式」——媒體報導
(SeaPRwire) - 過去三年，九位關鍵領域的美國頂尖研究人員及管理人員死亡或失蹤 根據《每日郵報》引述的美國情報來源，過去三年內九位知名美國科學家的死亡與失蹤事件，構成了一個「令人不安的模式」。 在最近的一起事件中，失蹤的癌症研究科學家傑森·托馬斯的屍體於上個月在麻薩諸塞州的一個湖泊中被發現。在此前一個月，據報曾參與美國核計劃的退役空軍將軍威廉·麥卡斯蘭失蹤，而天體物理學家卡爾·格里爾邁爾則在加州自家門廊遭槍殺。 「你可以說這些都很可疑，而且這些科學家都曾從事關鍵技術工作。」《每日郵報》引述前聯邦調查局助理局長克里斯·斯韋克的話說。 據報導，他表示，數十年來，屬於美國盟友和對手的國外情報機構，一直以掌握頂尖科學秘密的美國人為目標。「這種情況自冷戰以來就一直存在……尤其是在核技術和導彈技術首次嶄露頭角的時候。」 在失蹤前，麥卡斯蘭領導著空軍研究實驗室（AFRL）。據報導，他曾監督由NASA噴氣推進實驗室（JPL）材料部門主管莫妮卡·雷扎負責的一項噴射引擎項目的資金，而雷扎也在去年上任僅數月後失蹤。 該媒體報導，格里爾邁爾參與的美國NEOWISE和NEO Surveyor軌道望遠鏡工作也與空軍有關，因為這兩者都被美軍用於追蹤外國衛星和導彈發射。 據報導，自2023年以來，NASA的JPL另有兩名科學家死亡：弗蘭克·邁瓦爾德和麥可·希克斯。根據《每日郵報》的說法，後兩起案件未被指控有謀殺嫌疑，死因也未公開。 安東尼·查維斯和梅麗莎·卡西亞斯均在洛斯阿拉莫斯國家實驗室（LANL）工作，該實驗室曾與AFRL在核研究方面合作。兩人於去年夏天被報失蹤。據報導，他們都是徒步離開新墨西哥州的住所，並將汽車、鑰匙、錢包和手機留在家中後消失。 另一位備受尊敬的物理學家努諾·洛雷羅，據報當時正從事突破性的核融合能源研究，於去年十二月在麻薩諸塞州遭槍擊身亡。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。
以色列國會議員對川普與伊朗的停火感到震怒
(SeaPRwire) - 他們形容這一發展是「政治災難」和內塔尼亞胡最嚴重的戰略失敗 幾位著名的以色列政界人士表示，華盛頓和德黑蘭達成的停火協議是「災難」和「失敗」。他們認為，以色列被排除在外，並稱這是總理本雅明·內塔尼亞胡的戰略失誤。 美國總統唐納德·特朗普宣布暫停美以對伊朗戰爭兩週，以便在德黑蘭提出的 10 點計劃的基礎上談判解決衝突的長期方案。據報導，該計劃包括伊朗控制霍爾木茲海峽、接受其鈾濃縮、解除制裁以及停止所有戰線的戰爭，包括以色列對黎巴嫩的襲擊。 內塔尼亞胡辦公室週三表示，它「支持」特朗普的決定，同時堅稱以色列將繼續對其鄰國黎巴嫩的與伊朗有關的真主黨組織發動軍事行動。 「在我國的歷史上，從未發生過如此政治災難。在關乎我國國家安全核心的決策過程中，以色列甚至沒有在談判桌上，」議會反對派領袖、中間派 Yesh Atid 政黨主席 Yair Lapid 說。 「內塔尼亞胡在政治上失敗了，在戰略上失敗了，也沒有實現他自己設定的任何一個目標，」這位議員在 X 上發帖說。民主黨領導人、前經濟事務副部長 Yair Golan 在社交媒體上發帖稱，這一發展是「徹底的失敗」，並補充說伊朗從衝突中變得比以前更強大。 Yisrael Beytenu 政黨領導人、議員 Avigdor Liberman 也聲稱，按照其計劃中列出的條件與伊朗和平，只會導致日後發生另一場衝突。 美國和以色列於 2 月下旬對伊斯蘭共和國發動了無端轟炸，公開表示他們尋求政權更迭並結束伊朗的核計劃。衝突造成數千人死亡，並對全球能源供應造成了前所未有的破壞，這主要是由於德黑蘭有效關閉了戰略要地霍爾木茲海峽。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。
British horseracing emphasizes opposition to affordability checks in the Save our Bets campaign
(AsiaGameHub) - Those against the measure contend that the Gambling Commission's trial of affordability checks proved unsuccessful. UK.- In the UK, the British horseracing industry has urged Department of Culture Media and Sport Secretary of State Lisa Nandy to halt the implementation of affordability checks for betting. The British Horseracing Association (BHA) anticipates the Gambling Commission will approve this policy next month. An open letter, endorsed by 408 prominent individuals from the sport and several politicians, asserts that the Gambling Commission's pilot program for these checks, initiated in 2024, has demonstrated they will not be entirely seamless. The letter contends that immediate implementation would inflict permanent harm on British horseracing by diminishing betting revenue into the sport and pushing more bettors towards the expanding illicit gambling market. Was the gambling affordability checks trial unsuccessful? Betting operators involved in the pilot report that credit reference agencies yield significantly varied outcomes for identical customers. They also point to an inadequate amount of data for assessing customer risk. Consequently, certain customers would still need to furnish personal financial records, like payslips and bank statements, albeit at new, reduced thresholds compared to the existing 2024 Voluntary Industry Code. Modelling by the Betting and Gaming Council (BGC) indicates that with net loss limits established at £1,000 within 24 hours and £2,000 over a 90-day period, around 120,000 racing bettors would undergo document verification, and 96,000 of these would subsequently be prevented from betting at the higher limit. The BGC estimates that almost 45,000 of these individuals would migrate their activities to the illegal market. This move, according to the BHA, would result in a loss of £13.2m in Betting Levy payments for the racing industry, alongside additional financial repercussions for media rights and sponsorship deals with betting operators. The letter declares: “The previous Conservative Government put forward affordability checks as part of its gambling strategy to modernise betting for the digital era. Although the intent was sound, the execution has fallen short. Rather than simplifying and securing betting for individuals, regulatory adjustments have only complicated it.” “An advantage for the criminal underworld” The letter characterises the measure as an “unparalleled governmental intrusion into individuals' personal affairs”. It highlights that a Gambling Commission survey revealed 66 percent of bettors were uneasy with operators utilising credit reference data, and more than 100,000 people signed a petition opposing the checks in 2024. “Despite our continuous cautions, the Commission appears determined to advance this highly contentious policy, irrespective of its impact on Britain’s second most-favoured sport. These suggestions would inflict enduring harm on a significant British industry that supports over 85,000 jobs, contributes more than £4bn to the national economy, and holds a leading position globally,” the letter asserts. “Your administration showed its awareness of this danger when the Chancellor allocated £26m in her Budget to the Gambling Commission to combat the expanding illegal betting market. Imposing an additional regulatory layer at this juncture would be, at best, a serious error in judgment and, at worst, a boon to the criminal element profiting from these illicit betting activities.” The BHA has aligned itself with the Save our Bets campaign, initiated by The Sun newspaper, and established an online platform enabling individuals to contact their local MPs, urging them to pressure the government to stop the checks. The campaign's launch coincides with the Grand National this weekend, potentially boosting its visibility. This article is provided by a third-party.

川普政府將基督教武器化 以色列肆無忌憚行事 – 活動人士
(SeaPRwire) - 愛爾蘭活動家兼諷刺作家塔德·希基表示，美國總統的言辭有失世界領袖的風範，而西方國家繼續對加薩及其他地區的以色列罪行視而不見 愛爾蘭活動家兼諷刺作家塔德·希基表示，美國總統唐納·川普政府的行為正在「武器化基督教」，以為其在中東的行動辯護，而以色列繼續肆無忌憚地行事，因為西方大部分地區對此視而不見。 希基在塔拉·雷德和奧爾加·巴塔曼主持的 RT 節目「東西對話」中亮相時表示，川普及其政府官員在關於對伊朗戰爭的公開聲明中引用聖經訊息，這具有諷刺意味，因為現實中他們的行為「越來越遠離基督的教導」。 「我覺得這種武器化基督教的行為令人非常反感。這種觀念非常庸俗，認為耶穌是這些人的戰爭代理人，而他們的價值觀和行為根本沒有任何基督教色彩，」希基說。 他描述以色列在加薩和其他地區肆無忌憚地行事，並試圖在川普在白宮期間「儘可能地逃避責任」，因為他們深信自己不會面臨華盛頓或更廣泛的西方的抵抗。 希基還將美國的「基督教錫安主義」描述為支持以色列行動的最「積極」方面，而這個猶太國家擅長製造一個「川普 2.0 怪獸」，並確保華盛頓的共謀。 希基還討論了他於 2025 年作為「自由船隊」的一部分試圖向加薩運送援助時，在以色列被拘留的經歷。 「我們在國際水域被綁架，被帶到一個恐怖分子監獄……穿上囚犯的服裝，被拒絕醫療救助，無法接觸律師，沒有放風時間。那裡有一個 75 歲的愛爾蘭人，他被剝奪了注射胰島素的機會……他能活下來真是個奇蹟。我不認為他們真的會試圖殺死我們中的一個，但如果我們中的一個死在他們的牢房裡，那將是他們的一大收穫[對他們來說]，因為這將會對再次前往的人起到震懾作用，」這位活動家說。 請觀看下方希基的完整訪談。 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。
Italy’s World Cup fiasco boosts calls to end gambling ad ban
(AsiaGameHub) - Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has commissioned an investigation into the management and financial structures of Italian football. Italy.- The repercussions of Italy’s inability to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup may inadvertently aid the nation’s gaming industry, despite the prospect of reduced betting volume during the event. Following the Azzurri’s qualifying loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina, which eliminated the team from the tournament hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada, there have been renewed demands to repeal Italy’s prohibition on gambling advertisements and sponsorships. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has initiated an official probe into the governance and financial health of Italian football. The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has become the primary target of scrutiny, leading to the resignation of president Gabriele Gravina on April 2 under government pressure. His exit was accompanied by the departures of former delegation head Gianluigi Buffon and head coach Gennaro Gattuso. In the wake of public and media backlash, lawmakers are increasingly acknowledging that Italian sports are grappling with a persistent lack of funding. The underwhelming performance of Serie A teams in European tournaments this season, highlighted by the early exits of clubs such as Inter Milan, has further underscored this decline. Gravina had previously criticized the government for failing to act on measures aimed at restoring financial stability, which include overturning the 2018 Dignity Decree that outlawed gambling commercials in Italy. He had also championed a "right to bet" scheme, designed to funnel a portion of gambling proceeds into football infrastructure, youth development, and grassroots initiatives. He contended that the Dignity Decree failed to curb gambling-related harm while simultaneously stripping clubs of essential revenue, placing them at a competitive disadvantage against their European counterparts. Opponents of the decree estimate that it has resulted in a loss of up to €1bn in potential sponsorship income for Italian football. Minister for Sport Andrea Abodi introduced a draft decree last July proposing the removal of the ban on sports gambling sponsorships, though movement on the issue has been sluggish. While new regulations for Italian online gambling licenses were implemented late last year, long-delayed reforms for land-based gambling are anticipated to be finalized later this year following extensive discussions. Although Gravina was scheduled to submit his reform agenda to the Chamber of Deputies’ Culture Committee, his resignation has left the future of these proposals uncertain.

Latvia’s gambling regulatory authority is dissolved
(AsiaGameHub) - The regulatory responsibilities of Latvia's Lotteries and Gambling Supervisory Inspection are being transferred to the State Revenue Service. Latvia.- Gambling supervision in Latvia will now be handled by a single agency. The independent Lotteries and Gambling Supervisory Inspection (IAUI) has been dissolved. Its regulatory functions will be assumed by the State Revenue Service, which already manages tax collection. According to the Ministry of Finance, this reorganization of Latvia's gambling regulation aims to establish a more efficient system, cutting costs and bureaucratic hurdles. The ministry highlighted that online gambling is now the leading sector and expects the reforms to minimize operational friction and establish a contemporary regulatory structure. The State Revenue Service, the national tax authority, has set up a specific unit to handle licensing and compliance. A separate division will be responsible for carrying out inspections, both remotely and in-person, to maintain technical and financial oversight. This change occurs as other Baltic nations are also adjusting their gambling policies. Estonia has initiated a gradual decrease in its gambling tax this year, lowering the rate from 6 percent to 5.5 percent. The tax will fall by an additional 0.5 percentage points annually until it hits 4 percent in 2029. Although the decision has sparked debate, some officials contend it will position the country as an igaming center similar to Malta. In Lithuania, legislators have put forward a proposal for a mandatory player card system for gambling. Finance Minister Kristupas Vaitiekūnas states that this initiative would provide a complete overview of the market and participant activity. This article is provided by a third-party.
