Pengasas Diary of a CEO berkata beliau mengupah seseorang dengan pengalaman kerja ‘sifar’ kerana perempuan itu ‘mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pengawal keselamatan dengan menyebut namanya’ sebelum temuduga

(SeaPRwire) - Pencari kerja mungkin percaya bahawa ijazah Ivy League atau pengalaman kerja 500 akan membantu mereka mendapatkan pekerjaan—tetapi siapa yang mereka ucapkan terima kasih semasa melangkah masuk ke sesi temu duga boleh jadi lebih penting daripada latar belakang profesional mereka. Steven Bartlett, pengasas dan hos podcast The Diary of a CEO, telah memberi peluang kepada seorang pemohon dengan CV yang hampir kosong atas sebab tersebut. “Saya mengambil seseorang yang CV-nya hanya dua baris. Pengalaman mereka adalah sifar,” jelas Bartlett dalam satu hantaran LinkedIn awal tahun ini. “Sebab utama saya memberinya pekerjaan itu adalah kerana: Dia mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pengawal keselamatan dengan menyebut namanya semasa masuk ke dalam bangunan.” Dia terus membuktikan dirinya semasa proses pengambilan pekerja dalam cara yang kelihatan kecil juga—dan tindakan rendah diri itulah yang memberinya pekerjaan tersebut, bukannya kelayakan akademiknya. “Apabila dia tidak tahu sesuatu perkara, dalam temu duga itu dia berkata ‘Saya belum tahu tentang itu lagi, tetapi inilah cara saya akan mencarinya,’” jelas Bartlett. “Selepas temu duga, dia pergi belajar sendiri jawapan yang dia tidak tahu itu, dan menghantarnya melalui e-mel kepada saya dalam masa beberapa jam.” Pengasas itu mengambil risiko terhadap calon yang tidak berpengalaman tersebut, dan ia tidak mengambil masa yang lama untuk membuahkan hasil; Bartlett berkata bahawa enam bulan kemudian, dia telah membuktikan dirinya sebagai salah seorang pekerja terbaik yang pernah diambilnya. “Pengalaman selama lima belas tahun dalam pengambilan pekerja telah mengajar saya bahawa kesesuaian budaya dan perwatakan adalah JAUH lebih sukar untuk dicari berbanding pengalaman, kemahiran atau pendidikan.” Falsafah pengambilan pekerja Bartlett adalah berita gembira bagi golongan Gen Z peringkat permulaan yang memulakan kerjaya mereka tanpa pengalaman kerja sepenuh masa dalam resume mereka. Apakah CEO lain yang mempunyai falsafah pengambilan pekerja unik mereka sendiri? Sudah lama menjadi kebiasaan bahawa calon dengan ijazah terbaik, pengalaman kerja paling banyak, dan kelayakan yang mengagumkan akan berjaya dalam pusingan temu duga kerja. Namun, dengan pengalaman bertahun-tahun dalam pengambilan pekerja yang berjaya dan gagal, para majikan kini menentang status quo dan mencari bakat dengan kemahiran kemanusiaan, etika kerja, dan integriti. David Solomon, CEO Goldman Sachs, tidak tertarik kepada calon dengan IQ tertinggi. Sebaliknya, beliau berkata beliau berada dalam "kumpulan yang cukup bijak" apabila mengambil bakat di bank bernilai $267 bilion itu; berbanding memberi tumpuan kepada latar belakang pendidikan, beliau lebih cenderung kepada pemohon yang mempunyai "elemen kemanusiaan" termasuk keupayaan untuk berhubung, berdaya tahan, dan berazam tinggi. Pengalaman juga "sangat dipandang rendah" dan merupakan "pembeza besar bagi firma tersebut," kata Solomon. Menghadiri Harvard University atau menjadi yang paling bijak di dalam bilik mungkin mengagumkan, tetapi ia tidak akan membawa calon kerja jauh di gergasi perbankan itu. “Anda perlu cukup bijak, tetapi orang yang paling bijak di dunia tanpa pakej lengkap perkara lain tidak akan dapat mengemudi Goldman Sachs dengan baik, tidak akan berjaya di Goldman Sachs dalam jangka masa panjang,” dedah Solomon dalam podcast Long Strange Trip terbitan Sequoia Capital tahun lepas. “Anda tidak boleh mengajar pengalaman.” Dan Danny Meyer, pengasas rangkaian restoran global Shake Shack, sangat bersetuju. Untuk menjalankan 510 lokasi restoran syarikat itu seperti mesin yang lancar, beliau memerlukan bakat yang mempunyai "kuota hospitaliti" (HQ) yang tinggi berbanding IQ. Dan beliau mencari enam petanda positif dalam bakat Shake Shack: integriti, optimisme, sifat ingin tahu intelektual, etika kerja, empati, dan kesedaran diri. “Saya benar-benar tidak peduli apa IQ anda,” kata Meyer kepada Jason Del Rey dari di Qualtrics X4 Summit tahun lepas. “Apa yang dinyatakan oleh IQ pada dasarnya adalah bakat seseorang untuk belajar. Apa itu HQ pula adalah sejauh mana seseorang itu lebih bahagia apabila mereka memberikan kebahagiaan kepada orang lain.” Malah Oracle of Omaha dan bekas CEO Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett, telah memperhalusi falsafah pengambilan pekerjanya sendiri. Selepas lebih lima dekad menerajui syarikat pegangan bernilai $1 trilion itu, Buffett telah menyaksikan profesional tanpa ijazah Ivy League yang gah mencapai kejayaan. Dan dalam merancang penggantian CEO beliau tahun lepas, mogul pelaburan itu menjelaskan satu perkara: beliau tidak akan menyemak bahagian pendidikan pada resume calon. “Saya tidak pernah melihat di mana calon bersekolah. Tidak pernah!” tulis Buffett dalam suratnya kepada pemegang saham Berkshire Hathaway bagi tahun 2025. “Sudah tentu, terdapat pengurus hebat yang menghadiri sekolah paling terkenal. Tetapi terdapat ramai seperti Pete yang mungkin mendapat manfaat dengan menghadiri institusi yang kurang berprestij atau malah tidak mahu menamatkan sekolah.” Versi cerita ini telah diterbitkan di Fortune.com pada 8 Januari 2026.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Trump berikrar akan mengurangkan jumlah tentera AS di Jerman ‘jauh lebih banyak’ berbanding 5,000 manakala pegawai pertahanan menyatakan bahawa angkatan tentera telah terkejut dengan langkah tersebut.

(SeaPRwire) - Presiden Donald Trump berkata pada Sabtu bahawa A.S. akan mengurangkan dengan ketara kehadiran tenteranya di Jerman, memburukkan lagi pertikaian dengan Canselor Friedrich Merz sambil beliau berusaha mengurangkan komitmen Amerika terhadap keselamatan Eropah. Pentagon pada Jumaat pada mulanya mengumumkan akan menarik kira-kira 5,000 anggota tentera keluar dari Jerman, tetapi apabila ditanya pada Sabtu mengenai sebab langkah itu, Trump tidak memberikan penjelasan dan berkata pengurangan yang lebih besar akan berlaku. "Kami akan mengurangkan dengan banyak. Dan kami akan mengurangkan lebih jauh daripada 5,000," kata Trump kepada pemberita di Florida. Lebih awal pada Sabtu, menteri pertahanan Jerman kelihatan tenang dengan berita bahawa 5,000 anggota tentera A.S. akan meninggalkan negaranya. Boris Pistorius berkata pengurangan itu, yang telah diancam oleh Trump selama bertahun-tahun, adalah dijangka, dan beliau berkata negara-negara Eropah perlu mengambil lebih banyak tanggungjawab untuk pertahanan mereka sendiri. Tetapi beliau juga menekankan bahawa kerjasama keselamatan memberi manfaat kepada kedua-dua belah pihak perkongsian trans-Atlantik. "Kehadiran askar Amerika di Eropah, dan terutamanya di Jerman, adalah demi kepentingan kami dan kepentingan A.S.," kata Pistorius kepada agensi berita Jerman dpa. Rancangan itu menghadapi tentangan dua parti Penarikan balik yang dirancang itu menghadapi tentangan dua parti di Washington, dengan kritikan pantas daripada Demokrat dan kebimbangan daripada Republikan bahawa ia akan menghantar "isyarat yang salah" kepada Presiden Rusia Vladimir Putin, yang pencerobohan skala penuh ke atas Ukraine baru-baru ini memasuki tahun kelima. Keputusan Trump itu berlaku ketika beliau marah kepada sekutu Eropah kerana keengganan mereka menyertai kempennya dengan Israel menentang Iran. Beliau telah menyerang pemimpin seperti Merz, Perdana Menteri Sepanyol Pedro Sánchez dan Perdana Menteri Britain Keir Starmer. Merz minggu lepas mengkritik perang di Iran, dengan mengatakan A.S. sedang "dihina" oleh kepimpinan Iran dan menyeru kekurangan strategi Washington. Dalam satu lagi tanda geseran, Trump menuduh Kesatuan Eropah tidak mematuhi perjanjian perdagangan dengan A.S. dan mengumumkan rancangan untuk meningkatkan tarif minggu depan ke atas kereta dan lori yang dihasilkan dalam blok itu kepada 25%, satu langkah yang amat merugikan Jerman, sebuah pengeluar automotif utama. Sekurang-kurangnya seorang ahli undang-undang EU memanggil kenaikan tarif itu "tidak boleh diterima" dan menuduh Trump melanggar satu lagi komitmen A.S. mengenai perdagangan. AS menambah tentera selepas pencerobohan Rusia ke atas Ukraine Penarikan 5,000 askar dari Jerman akan menyamai kira-kira satu pertujuh daripada 36,000 anggota perkhidmatan Amerika yang ditempatkan di negara itu. Pentagon memberikan sedikit butiran tentang pasukan atau operasi mana yang akan terjejas. Pentagon pada Sabtu tidak serta-merta membalas mesej yang meminta butiran lanjut mengenai pengurangan selanjutnya. Penarikan balik 5,000 anggota tentera itu dijadualkan berlaku dalam tempoh enam hingga 12 bulan akan datang, menurut Pentagon. Trump sebelum ini berkata beliau akan menarik 9,500 anggota tentera dari Jerman semasa penggal pertamanya, tetapi beliau tidak memulakan proses itu dan Presiden Demokrat Joe Biden secara rasmi menghentikan penarikan balik yang dirancang tidak lama selepas memegang jawatan pada 2021. Secara lebih luas, kira-kira 80,000-100,000 anggota A.S. biasanya ditempatkan di Eropah — bergantung pada operasi, latihan dan putaran tentera. A.S. meningkatkan penempatan Eropahnya selepas Rusia melancarkan perang skala penuh ke atas Ukraine pada Februari 2022. Sekutu NATO seperti Jerman telah menjangkakan selama lebih setahun bahawa tentera ini akan menjadi yang pertama berlepas. Pistorius, dalam ulasannya kepada dpa, berkata, "Kami orang Eropah mesti mengambil lebih banyak tanggungjawab untuk keselamatan kami," sambil menekankan usaha terkini Jerman untuk meningkatkan angkatan tenteranya, mempercepatkan perolehan dan membangunkan infrastruktur. Jurucakap NATO Allison Hart, dalam satu catatan pada Sabtu di X, berkata pakatan trans-Atlantik itu "bekerjasama dengan A.S. untuk memahami butiran keputusan mereka mengenai postur pasukan di Jerman." "Pelarasan ini menekankan keperluan Eropah untuk terus melabur lebih banyak dalam pertahanan dan mengambil bahagian yang lebih besar dalam tanggungjawab untuk keselamatan bersama kami," tambahnya, sambil menyebut "kemajuan" ke arah sasaran dalam kalangan sekutu NATO untuk masing-masing melabur 5% daripada hasil ekonomi mereka kepada pertahanan. 'Kajian menyeluruh' mendorong keputusan pengurangan Jurucakap Pentagon Sean Parnell berkata dalam satu kenyataan bahawa "keputusan itu mengikuti kajian menyeluruh terhadap postur pasukan Jabatan di Eropah dan sebagai pengiktirafan keperluan teater dan keadaan di lapangan." Seorang pegawai pertahanan A.S., yang bercakap dengan syarat tidak dikenali untuk membincangkan perkara sensitif, berkata cabang-cabang tentera A.S. tidak mempunyai pengetahuan terlebih dahulu tentang keputusan untuk mengurangkan 5,000 anggota tentera dan mengetahuinya "secara masa nyata." Sebagai tindak balas, Jabatan Pertahanan mengulangi bahawa ia telah menjalankan kajian menyeluruh terhadap postur pasukannya di Eropah. "Keputusan untuk menarik balik tentera di Jerman mengikuti proses yang komprehensif dan berlapis yang menggabungkan perspektif daripada pemimpin utama dalam EUCOM dan seluruh rantaian komando," tulis setiausaha akhbar sementara Pentagon Joel Valdez dalam e-mel, menggunakan singkatan untuk U.S. European Command. Kebanyakan tentera A.S. di Jerman datang dari Tentera Darat dan Tentera Udara. Jerman menempatkan beberapa kemudahan tentera Amerika, termasuk ibu pejabat komando Eropah dan Afrika A.S., Pangkalan Udara Ramstein dan sebuah pusat perubatan di Landstuhl, di mana mangsa korban dari perang di Afghanistan dan Iraq dirawat. Peluru berpandu nuklear A.S. juga ditempatkan di negara itu. Penarikan 5,000 anggota tentera — saiz sebuah pasukan tempur briged — dari Jerman mungkin mempunyai impak terhad terhadap kuasa tempur, tetapi "dari segi mesej komitmen A.S., ia sangat berbeza," kata seorang lagi pegawai pertahanan A.S. Satu-satunya pasukan tempur briged kekal di Jerman ialah Rejimen Kavalri Ke-2, bersama-sama dengan briged penerbangan dan aset lain, yang dianggap mempunyai peranan penting dalam keupayaan Amerika — dan NATO — untuk menghalang ancaman. Ahli undang-undang GOP meluahkan kebimbangan tentang rancangan penarikan balik Selepas tentangan pantas daripada Demokrat pada Jumaat, pemimpin Republikan bagi kedua-dua jawatankuasa perkhidmatan bersenjata di Kongres berkata pada Sabtu mereka "sangat bimbang" tentang penarikan balik tentera itu. Sen. Roger Wicker dari Mississippi dan Rep. Mike Rogers dari Alabama berkata keputusan itu berisiko "melemahkan penghalang dan menghantar isyarat yang salah kepada Vladimir Putin." Mereka juga berkata Pentagon telah memutuskan untuk membatalkan penempatan yang dirancang bagi Batalion Long-Range Fires Tentera Darat. Kenyataan Parnell tidak menyebut perkara itu. Wicker dan Rogers berkata sebarang perubahan ketara kepada postur pasukan A.S. di Eropah memerlukan semakan dan penyelarasan dengan Kongres. "Kami menjangkakan Jabatan itu akan melibatkan jawatankuasa pengawasannya dalam hari dan minggu mendatang mengenai keputusan ini dan implikasinya terhadap penghalang A.S. dan keselamatan trans-Atlantik," kata mereka dalam kenyataan bersama. Mereka juga menyatakan bahawa Jerman telah mematuhi seruan Trump untuk menanggung lebih banyak beban perbelanjaan pertahanan di Eropah, sambil memberikan akses kepada tentera A.S. ke pangkalan dan ruang udaranya dalam perang menentang Iran.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Opti Digital Melancarkan Green Challenge 2026 untuk Menukar Aktiviti Fizikal kepada Pemulihan Hutan

(SeaPRwire) - PARIS, PERANCIS – 03/05/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Memandangkan kemampanan menjadi keutamaan yang semakin penting bagi ekonomi digital, syarikat-syarikat dalam sektor AdTech sedang meneroka cara baharu untuk menyelaraskan ekosistem perniagaan dengan tanggungjawab alam sekitar. Berlatarbelakangkan ini, Opti Digital telah melancarkan edisi 2026 bagi Green Challenge, satu inisiatif tanggungjawab sosial korporat yang mengubah aktiviti fizikal kolektif menjadi sumbangan alam sekitar yang boleh diukur. Dijadualkan berlangsung dari 1 Mei hingga 31 Mei 2026, inisiatif ini menjemput pekerja, pelanggan, dan rakan kongsi untuk menyertai program selama sebulan di mana aktiviti seperti berjalan kaki, berlari, dan berbasikal ditukar kepada sokongan kewangan untuk projek-projek alam sekitar. Kempen ini mencerminkan trend yang semakin meningkat dalam menyepadukan matlamat kemampanan ke dalam strategi penglibatan korporat. Untuk edisi tahun ini, Opti Digital bekerjasama dengan Envol Vert, sebuah organisasi bukan untung yang memfokuskan kepada pemuliharaan hutan, perlindungan biodiversiti, dan sokongan komuniti di seluruh Amerika Latin dan Eropah. Perkongsian ini akan menyumbang kepada usaha pemeliharaan hutan, termasuk projek pemulihan di wilayah seperti zon Caribbean di Colombia. Memacu Tindakan Kolektif untuk Impak yang Boleh Diukur Green Challenge distrukturkan berdasarkan model yang ringkas namun boleh diskalakan: setiap kilometer yang diselesaikan oleh peserta ditukar kepada pembiayaan yang menyokong inisiatif alam sekitar. Dengan menghubungkan aktiviti fizikal harian kepada hasil ekologi yang nyata, program ini bertujuan untuk memupuk penglibatan individu dan impak kolektif. Penyertaan telah meningkat secara konsisten sejak inisiatif ini dimulakan. Pada tahun 2025, lebih 140 peserta secara kolektif meliputi lebih 53,000 kilometer, menyumbang kepada pemulihan kira-kira 3,000 meter persegi hutan di Bolivia. Berdasarkan trajektori ini, edisi 2026 berusaha untuk meluaskan jangkauannya merentasi rangkaian global Opti Digital. Menghubungkan Inovasi Digital dengan Tanggungjawab Alam Sekitar Beroperasi dalam ekosistem pengiklanan digital, Opti Digital mengakui jejak alam sekitar yang dikaitkan dengan pemprosesan data, penyampaian iklan, dan infrastruktur dalam talian. Green Challenge merupakan sebahagian daripada strategi kemampanan syarikat yang lebih luas, yang merangkumi usaha untuk mengoptimumkan kecekapan digital dan mengurangkan penggunaan sumber yang tidak perlu dalam operasi pengiklanan. Dengan menggalakkan penyertaan merentasi ekosistemnya, inisiatif ini juga mengukuhkan kerjasama dalam kalangan pihak berkepentingan sambil mempromosikan kesedaran tentang isu alam sekitar. Pekerja, pelanggan, dan rakan kongsi disatukan melalui objektif yang dikongsi bersama, mengukuhkan semangat komuniti di samping penjagaan alam sekitar. Magali Quentel-Reme, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Opti Digital, menyatakan bahawa inisiatif ini melangkaui aktiviti CSR tradisional, dengan menekankan peranan penglibatan kolektif dalam memacu hasil yang bermakna. Program ini diletakkan sebagai usaha kemampanan dan platform penyatuan dalam rangkaian syarikat yang lebih luas. Mengenai Envol Vert Envol Vert ialah organisasi bukan untung yang berpangkalan di Perancis yang berdedikasi untuk melindungi hutan dan biodiversiti sambil menyokong komuniti tempatan. Projek-projeknya mempromosikan alternatif mampan kepada penebangan hutan di negara-negara seperti Colombia dan Peru, di samping menyumbang kepada peningkatan taraf hidup penduduk tempatan. Mengenai Opti Digital Opti Digital ialah syarikat AdTech yang mengkhusus dalam pengoptimuman hasil penerbit dan pengewangan audiens. Melalui teknologi proprietari, perkongsian permintaan, dan keupayaan analitiknya, syarikat ini menyokong penerbit digital dalam meningkatkan prestasi pengiklanan dan mencapai pertumbuhan yang mampan. Lebih 10,000 laman web dan aplikasi mudah alih di seluruh dunia—termasuk jenama media utama seperti Euronews, Gizmodo, LADbible, Valnet, dan Ziff Davis—menggunakan penyelesaian Opti Digital untuk memacu prestasi yang boleh diukur dan nilai jangka panjang.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Aturan MiCA Memicu Surge Institusional di Pasaran Hiburan Blockchain Eropa

(SeaPRwire) - NEW YORK, NY – 03/05/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – Penilaian industri komprehensif yang diterbitkan pada tahun 2026 menunjukkan bahawa Eropah telah memasuki fasa baharu dalam pembangunan hiburan berkuasa blockchain, dengan penyelarasan peraturan memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk kematangan pasaran. Pelaksanaan rangka kerja Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) oleh Kesatuan Eropah secara meluas dilihat sebagai titik perubahan yang telah meletakkan semula sektor ini daripada ruang yang terpecah-pecah dan eksperimen kepada industri yang berstruktur dan bersedia untuk pelaburan. Laporan itu menekankan bahawa penerimaan rasmi Peraturan (EU) 2023/1114 telah memperkenalkan konsistensi di seluruh negara anggota, mewujudkan asas undang-undang yang harmoni untuk aset kripto. Pendekatan bersepadu ini telah mengurangkan ketidakpastian operasi dengan ketara, membolehkan syarikat dan pelabur mengemudi pasaran dengan keyakinan yang lebih tinggi. Kejelasan Peraturan Mengukuhkan Penglibatan Institusi Menurut analisis, penetapan piawaian peraturan yang jelas telah memainkan peranan penting dalam menarik modal institusi. Dengan mentakrifkan keperluan untuk penerbit dan penyedia perkhidmatan, MiCA telah meminimumkan percanggahan di seluruh bidang kuasa dan meningkatkan ketelusan di seluruh ekosistem. Akibatnya, semakin banyak pemain institusi—termasuk dana pencen, firma pengurusan aset, dan institusi perbankan—sedang menggabungkan aset berkaitan blockchain ke dalam strategi pelaburan jangka panjang mereka. Platform hiburan blockchain, yang dahulunya dianggap sebagai usaha spekulatif, kini semakin diiktiraf sebagai komponen mampan dalam portfolio yang pelbagai. Antara langkah-langkah peraturan yang menyumbang kepada transformasi ini adalah: Pengiktirafan rasmi hak pemilikan aset digital Pendedahan wajib melalui kertas putih yang diluluskan pengawal selia Ketidakpastian pematuhan yang lebih rendah untuk peserta institusi Perlindungan anti-pengubahan wang haram (AML) yang dipertingkatkan Pengembangan Infrastruktur Analitikal dan Pematuhan Laporan itu seterusnya menekankan peningkatan relevansi platform analitikal bebas dalam persekitaran yang dikawal selia. Platform ini menyediakan penilaian berstruktur perkhidmatan hiburan blockchain, menumpukan pada pematuhan, integriti operasi, dan ketelusan. Alat sedemikian menjadi penting apabila peserta pasaran mencari data yang boleh dipercayai untuk menyokong keputusan pelaburan dalam landskap yang semakin dikawal selia. Peranan mereka mencerminkan anjakan yang lebih luas ke arah akauntabiliti dan penyeragaman di seluruh sektor. Permainan Blockchain Mendorong Momentum Pasaran Permainan blockchain terus muncul sebagai tonggak utama pertumbuhan dalam industri. Data pasaran yang dipetik dalam laporan itu menunjukkan bahawa pendapatan permainan blockchain global pada tahun 2026 telah melebihi ramalan awal, menandakan penerimaan pengguna yang kukuh dan kebolehlaksanaan komersial. Pembangun Eropah, yang beroperasi di bawah garis panduan MiCA, mengutamakan model ekonomi yang mampan berbanding mekanisme spekulatif jangka pendek. Bidang utama pelaburan termasuk: Kebolehkendalian rentas platform untuk aset digital Rangka kerja kontrak pintar untuk peruntukan pendapatan automatik Tokenisasi harta intelek untuk memudahkan pembiayaan terdesentralisasi Perkembangan ini menunjukkan peralihan ke arah aplikasi berorientasikan utiliti yang meningkatkan penciptaan nilai jangka panjang. Media dan Pengedaran Kandungan Mengalami Anjakan Struktur Selain permainan, teknologi blockchain semakin mempengaruhi model pengedaran media dan kandungan. Sistem terdesentralisasi sedang digunakan untuk menyelaraskan proses, meningkatkan ketelusan, dan mengurangkan kebergantungan kepada perantara. Kemajuan ketara termasuk: Pengedaran royalti automatik terus kepada pencipta Alat pengesahan berasaskan blockchain untuk mengurangkan penipuan pengiklanan Penyertaan penonton yang didayakan token dalam tadbir urus kandungan Bersama-sama, inovasi ini menyumbang kepada persekitaran media digital yang lebih cekap dan saksama. NFT Beralih ke Arah Utiliti Fungsian Laporan itu mengenal pasti evolusi ketara dalam penggunaan token tidak boleh tukar (NFT). Walaupun pada mulanya dikaitkan dengan koleksi digital, NFT kini diintegrasikan ke dalam aplikasi praktikal merentasi ekosistem hiburan. Kes penggunaan yang muncul termasuk: Sistem tiket berasaskan blockchain yang selamat dengan ciri anti-penipuan Struktur pemilikan bertoken dalam usaha media dan permainan Kelayakan akses untuk kandungan eksklusif dan perkhidmatan keahlian Anjakan ini mencerminkan peningkatan kecanggihan pasaran dan pengaruh pengawasan peraturan dalam menggalakkan fungsi dunia nyata. Petunjuk Pasaran Menandakan Kestabilan dan Pertumbuhan Data yang dirujuk dalam analisis menunjukkan pertumbuhan berterusan dalam pendapatan aset digital global. Integrasi teknologi blockchain ke dalam platform hiburan arus perdana telah meningkatkan kecekapan operasi sambil memudahkan pengalaman pengguna. Dengan menggabungkan kebolehgunaan dengan jaminan peraturan, sektor ini menyaksikan penerimaan yang lebih luas di kalangan pengguna dan pihak berkepentingan institusi. Tinjauan Masa Depan Sehingga 2030 Melihat ke hadapan, laporan itu menjangkakan pengembangan berterusan pasaran hiburan blockchain sehingga akhir dekad ini. Salah satu trend yang paling ketara ialah penumpuan kecerdasan buatan dan teknologi blockchain, membolehkan pengurusan harta intelek automatik dan penyampaian kandungan yang lebih diperibadikan. Eropah dijangka mengekalkan peranan kepimpinan, disokong oleh rangka kerja peraturannya yang teguh dan inovasi teknologi yang berterusan. Kesimpulan Analisis itu menyimpulkan bahawa apa yang dipanggil “Kesan MiCA” telah menjadi penting dalam melegitimasi hiburan blockchain sebagai sektor yang boleh dipercayai dan boleh dilabur. Dengan menetapkan piawaian undang-undang dan garis panduan operasi yang jelas, Kesatuan Eropah telah mewujudkan persekitaran yang kondusif untuk inovasi dan penyertaan institusi. Laporan itu mencadangkan bahawa model peraturan ini mungkin berfungsi sebagai titik rujukan untuk wilayah lain yang berusaha untuk mengimbangi kemajuan teknologi dengan pengawasan yang berkesan dalam ekonomi aset digital yang berkembang.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Apple meningkatkan harga permulaan Mac Mini kepada $799 selepas kegilaan AI menguras bekalan News

Apple meningkatkan harga permulaan Mac Mini kepada $799 selepas kegilaan AI menguras bekalan

(SeaPRwire) - Apple Inc. menaikkan harga permulaan komputer desktop Mac mini miliknya kepada $799 daripada $599, sebagai pelarasan terhadap kekurangan inventori yang didorong oleh permintaan AI dan bekalan pemproses yang terhad. Syarikat itu secara berkesan menaikkan harga dengan mengalih keluar konfigurasi tahap permulaan, iaitu model yang merangkumi pemproses M4 dan storan 256 gigabait. Komputer tersebut kini bermula dengan cip yang sama dan ruang storan 512 gigabait. Harga permulaan $1,399 bagi model M4 Pro tidak berubah. Penamatan model tahap $599 itu dibuat selepas model tersebut habis dijual di kebanyakan cawangan. Konfigurasi lain masih mengambil masa berminggu-minggu atau berbulan-bulan untuk tiba dari kedai dalam talian Apple dan mempunyai bekalan terhad di kedai runcit syarikat tersebut. Pada hari Khamis, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Apple, Tim Cook berkata kekurangan itu sebahagiannya berkait dengan apa yang dipanggil SoC, atau sistem pada cip (system on a chip), iaitu pemproses yang berfungsi sebagai otak bagi Mac mini. “Kekangan tersebut didorong terutamanya oleh ketersediaan nod termaju di mana SoC kami dihasilkan,” katanya dalam satu panggilan pendapatan bersama penganalisis. Faktor lain ialah pengguna telah berebut-rebut membeli Mac mini dan Mac Studio untuk menjalankan kecerdasan buatan, katanya. “Ini adalah platform yang luar biasa untuk AI dan alatan agentik, dan pengiktirafan pelanggan terhadap perkara itu berlaku lebih pantas daripada apa yang kami ramalkan, jadi kami melihat permintaan yang lebih tinggi daripada jangkaan,” kata Cook. Beliau menambah bahawa MacBook Neo, yang juga bermula pada harga $599, sedang melihat permintaan yang lebih kuat daripada yang dijangkakan. Baca Lagi: Ramalan Apple Mengatasi Anggaran Walaupun Kekurangan Mac Berterusan Cook berkata bahawa ia “mungkin mengambil masa beberapa bulan untuk mencapai keseimbangan bekalan-permintaan” bagi Mac mini dan Mac Studio. Joe Rossignol dari MacRumors adalah yang pertama menyedari bahawa model permulaan Mac mini telah dihentikan. Kedua-dua mesin tersebut boleh dikonfigurasikan dengan memori yang mencukupi untuk menjalankan model bahasa besar secara tempatan dengan lancar, dengan kurang pergantungan pada awan. Apple merancang untuk mula mengeluarkan beberapa model Mac mini di Houston akhir tahun ini sebagai peralihan keluar dari Asia. Ia juga telah menyediakan Mac Studio yang dikemas kini untuk akhir tahun ini, lapor Bloomberg News. Apple menaikkan harga pada beberapa model Mac lain pada bulan Mac, dengan meningkatkan harga permulaan bagi beberapa model MacBook Pro dan MacBook Air. Apple bukan satu-satunya syarikat yang menaikkan harga, dengan syarikat lain seperti Meta Platforms Inc. baru-baru ini turut meningkatkan kos peranti mereka.

Warren Buffett berkata pasaran kewangan adalah seperti gereja yang dilengkapi dengan kasino, tetapi “kami tidak pernah melihat orang berada dalam suasana hati yang lebih gemar berjudi daripada sekarang ini”

(SeaPRwire) - Legenda pelaburan Warren Buffett mengeluhkan budaya perjudian yang telah menguasai pasaran kewangan sambil terus menyebarkan ajarannya tentang kesabaran. Dalam temu bual bersama CNBC pada hari Sabtu ketika Berkshire Hathaway mengadakan mesyuarat tahunan pemegang sahamnya, beliau menyatakan bahawa dalam 60 tahun beliau berniaga, hanya lima daripadanya yang "sangat penuh peluang". Namun apabila tiada tawaran murah yang baik dapat ditemui, "Orakel Omaha" tidak keberatan untuk tidak melakukan apa-apa. Keadaan ini telah berlaku selama bertahun-tahun. Walaupun Berkshire telah memperoleh beberapa syarikat kecil, kekurangan perjanjian mega telah menyebabkan timbunan tunai konglomerat itu mencecah hampir $400 bilion. Buffett meletakkan jawatan sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif pada akhir tahun lepas, tetapi beliau masih terlibat dalam pengurusan portfolio pelaburan—dan masih tidak menyukai harga aset yang beliau lihat ketika ini. Ini sebahagiannya disebabkan oleh tindakan pelabur yang berkelakuan seolah-olah sedang bermain permainan kad. Sudah tentu, beliau telah lama membandingkan pasaran kewangan dengan sebuah gereja yang mempunyai kasino yang dilekatkan. Tetapi kasino itu telah menjadi sangat menarik, kata beliau kepada CNBC. Buffett menunjuk kepada populariti opsyen sehari yang semakin meningkat, dengan berkata, "Itu bukan pelaburan. Ia juga bukan spekulasi. Ia adalah perjudian, semuanya sepenuhnya." Beliau juga memberi contoh seorang askar Tentera A.S. yang memperoleh $400,000 di pasaran ramalan, selepas mengetahui terlebih dahulu tentang serbuan tentera untuk menangkap diktator Venezuela Nicolas Maduro. Awal bulan ini, Jabatan Keadilan telah mendakwa beliau atas kesalahan perdagangan orang dalam. Sementara itu, atlet kolej dan profesional juga telah ditangkap cuba memanipulasi pasaran ramalan ketika pertaruhan sukan dalam talian berkembang dengan pesat. "Dan kuantiti perkara seperti ini sungguh luar biasa," kata Buffett. "Jadi kita tidak pernah mempunyai orang yang berada dalam mood berjudi lebih daripada sekarang. Tetapi itu tidak bermakna pelaburan adalah sesuatu yang buruk. Ia cuma bermakna harga untuk banyak perkara akan kelihatan sangat tidak masuk akal." Beliau terkenal dengan pepatah bahawa masa terbaik untuk membeli aset adalah semasa kemerosotan pasaran yang teruk, menggesa pelabur agar "menjadi takut apabila orang lain tamak, dan tamak apabila orang lain takut." Buffett, yang masih merupakan pengerusi Berkshire, mengulangi nasihat itu pada hari Sabtu dan berkata masa yang paling sesuai untuk membeli adalah apabila tiada siapa yang mahu menjawab telefon mereka kerana pasaran sedang runtuh. Setiausaha Perbendaharaan Scott Bessent juga baru-baru ini menentang pemikiran cepat kaya yang wujud dalam kalangan ramai rakyat Amerika, memberi amaran bahawa pemikiran ini sering membawa kepada lebih banyak ketidakstabilan kewangan. Bekas pengurus dana lindung nilai jutawan ini telah menjadikan literasi kewangan sebagai keutamaan sejak menyertai pentadbiran Presiden Donald Trump, didorong oleh latar belakang zaman kanak-kanaknya yang dilanda kemiskinan. "Terdapat ramai orang muda, kebanyakannya lelaki muda, yang bekerja dalam pekerjaan pembinaan kolar biru, dan suka bermain loteri. Perkara ini membuat saya gila," kata Bessent dalam temu bual dengan Associated Press. "Perkara terbaik yang boleh anda lakukan ialah tidak bermain loteri," katanya — sebaliknya, orang ramai harus melabur dan "kemudian lihat wang anda berkembang."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

America membayar lebih untuk minyak. Jet Air Force One baharu Trump yang didermikan oleh Qatar hampir siap

(SeaPRwire) - Tentera Udara A.S. telah selesai mengubahsuai dan menguji pesawat Boeing 747 yang didermakan oleh Qatar untuk kegunaan sementara sebagai Air Force One, dan menjangkakan ia akan siap untuk digunakan oleh Presiden Donald Trump pada musim panas ini, perkhidmatan itu mengumumkan lewat hari Jumaat. Pesawat itu sedang dicat dengan warna merah, putih dan biru, kata Tentera Udara dalam satu kenyataan akhbar. Setiausaha Pertahanan Pete Hegseth menerima pesawat mewah ini setahun yang lalu walaupun terdapat persoalan mengenai etika dan kesahan menerima hadiah bernilai tinggi daripada negara asing, serta kebimbangan mengenai keselamatan dan perisikan siber. Trump telah mempertahankan hadiah ini sebagai satu cara untuk menjimatkan wang cukai. Trump telah berkata bahawa beliau tidak akan terbang dengan pesawat ini apabila penggal beliau tamat. Sebaliknya, katanya, pesawat itu akan didermakan kepada perpustakaan presiden masa depan, sama seperti bagaimana Boeing 707 yang digunakan oleh Presiden Ronald Reagan telah dinyahguna dan dipamerkan sebagai barang muzium. Pegawai Tentera Udara berkata bahawa bekas pesawat Qatar ini akan berfungsi sebagai "jambatan" sehingga Boeing bersedia untuk menghantar sepasang pesawat baharu, yang kini dijangka pada tahun 2028. Kedua-dua pesawat yang kini digunakan sebagai Air Force One telah terbang selama hampir empat dekad, dan Trump sangat tidak sabar untuk menggantikannya. Semasa penggal pertama beliau, beliau telah mempamerkan model pesawat jumbo baharu di Pejabat Oval, lengkap dengan skema cat yang disemak semula yang meniru reka bentuk warna merah, putih dan biru gelap pesawat peribadi beliau. Boeing telah memasang semula 747 yang pada asalnya dibina untuk sebuah syarikat penerbangan Rusia yang kini telah gulung tikar. Tetapi program ini telah menghadapi kelewatan hampir sedekad akibat pelbagai isu, termasuk kebankrapan subkontraktor penting dan kesukaran untuk mencari dan mengekalkan kakitangan yang layak yang boleh diberikan pelepasan keselamatan peringkat tinggi. Pesawat baharu tidak akan siap sehingga hampir penggal tamat Trump, dan beliau sudah tidak sabar lagi. Beliau telah menggambarkan keadaan ini sebagai "kucar-kacir sepenuhnya," dan telah mengadu bahawa Air Force One tidak sehebat pesawat yang diterbangkan oleh beberapa pemimpin Arab. Pesawat Qatar bernilai $400 juta ini telah digambarkan sebagai "istana di langit," lengkap dengan penginapan mewah dan kemasan kelas atas. Tetapi keselamatan adalah kebimbangan utama ketika membabitkan perjalanan presiden. Pesawat Air Force One semasa dibina dari awal berhampiran akhir Perang Dingin. Ia diperkukuh terhadap kesan letupan nuklear dan merangkumi pelbagai ciri keselamatan, seperti langkah pencegahan anti-peluru berpandu dan bilik pembedahan atas kapal. Ia juga dilengkapi dengan keupayaan pengisian minyak udara-ke-udara untuk keadaan luar jangka, walaupun ia tidak pernah digunakan ketika presiden berada di atas kapal. Tidak jelas keupayaan mana yang telah ditambah kepada bekas pesawat Qatar ini. Tentera Udara tidak mendedahkan kos pengubahsuaian, tetapi ahli parlimen mencadangkan tahun lepas bahawa kosnya boleh melebihi $1 bilion. Pegawai Tentera Udara berkata bahawa mereka telah memajak sebuah kapal kargo 747-8 daripada Atlas Air antara bulan Oktober dan Februari supaya juruterbang dapat membiasakan diri dengan varian terbaru. A.S. juga telah membeli dua pesawat daripada syarikat penerbangan Jerman Lufthansa untuk latihan dan alat ganti. Boeing berhenti membina 747 pada tahun 2023.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Suze Orman pernah berkata bahawa mendapat lebih daripada $800,000 akan membuatnya “mual perut”—tetapi menolak Oprah Winfrey telah menyembuhkan keraguan dirinya sendiri

(SeaPRwire) - Hari ini, Suze Orman mungkin dikenali sebagai tokoh kewangan yang yakin dan tegas—tetapi beliau tidak sentiasa begitu. Ia berlaku pada lewat 1990-an dan dengan satu buku yang sangat berjaya, rumah penerbitan berebut-rebut untuk mendapatkan kontrak bagi buku terlaris beliau yang seterusnya. Perang bidaan untuk hak penerbitan The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom tidak lama kemudian mencecah $800,000. Walau bagaimanapun, daripada menunggu untuk melihat sejauh mana tawaran itu akan meningkat, Orman berkeras untuk menamatkannya. “Apa yang awak cakapkan ini? Buku ini akan mencecah satu juta setengah,” kata ejen sasteranya yang bingung. Tetapi Orman yang tegas menjawab: “Jika seseorang membayar saya sebanyak itu untuk menulis buku, saya akan berasa mual. Awak pilih penerbit mana yang awak mahu bekerjasama. Tetapi saya tidak mahu lebih daripada $800,000.” Orman berkata jika dia boleh kembali ke masa lalu, dia akan membiarkan bidaan itu meningkat sehingga berjuta-juta, tetapi apabila menoleh ke belakang, dia memberitahu : “Saya tidak fikir saya bernilai sebanyak itu—saya bukan seorang penulis. Saya seorang pakar kewangan.” Suze Orman menolak Oprah Winfrey apabila dia mengetahui nilai dirinya Kini Orman, yang telah menerbitkan sebanyak 10 buku terlaris New York Times dan membintangi rancangannya sendiri di CNBC sebelum baru-baru ini mengasaskan bersama Securesave, mengetahui nilainya. “Saya tahu dengan jelas,” tegasnya. Semuanya bermula pada tahun 1998 apabila beliau ditawarkan peluang di Oprah Winfrey Show untuk bercakap tentang sisi rohani perceraian berdasarkan satu bab dalam bukunya The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom yang bertajuk “Practical and spiritual steps so you can stop worrying.” Orman sememangnya seorang yang beragama, tetapi beliau berpendapat dengan kuat bahawa ini bukan bidang kepakarannya. “Itu bukan saya,” katanya kepada penerbit rancangan itu, Katy Davis. “Davis berkata tiada sesiapa yang pernah menolak untuk datang ke The Oprah Winfrey Show. Saya berkata, ‘Baiklah, sekarang sudah ada seorang.’” Walaupun terkejut dengan orang di sekelilingnya, beliau berkata beliau tetap dengan keputusannya. “Itulah saatnya saya berkata, tidak, saya tahu apa yang saya fikirkan dan itulah yang akan saya ikuti.” Tetapi saat beliau benar-benar menemui suaranya datang beberapa bulan kemudian apabila beliau duduk dalam “mesyuarat besar” dengan penerbit Random House mengenai tajuk buku ketiganya, The Courage to be Rich. “Mereka berkata, itu bukan tajuk buku yang bagus,” dakwa Orman—kenyataan yang menurutnya mendorong beliau untuk keluar dan berhenti bekerja dengan syarikat itu. “Mereka langsung tidak memahami tentang wang. Tidak memerlukan keberanian untuk menjadi miskin. Sesiapa sahaja boleh menjadi miskin. Mudah untuk menjadi miskin. Ia memerlukan keberanian untuk membuka bil anda, menghadapi hutang anda dan menghadapi kesilapan anda, itu memerlukan keberanian,” katanya kepada pengurusnya pada masa itu. “Batalkan kontrak saya. Saya enggan menulis buku untuk mereka.” Akhirnya, Riverhead Books menerbitkan buku itu menggunakan tajuk pilihannya pada tahun 1999, The Courage to be Rich kemudian menjadi buku terlaris New York Times, dan Orman akhirnya muncul di The Oprah Show sebanyak 29 kali. Pengalaman itu mengajar beliau kepentingan mengetahui (dan memiliki) pendapat anda. menghubungi Random House untuk mendapatkan komen. Cara mengetahui nilai diri anda Walaupun Orman mengetahui nilai dirinya yang sebenar—beliau menjual 12,000 tiket setiap tiga minit untuk siri jelajahnya di Afrika Selatan sahaja—beliau mengukurnya dengan lebih holistik. “Anda tahu nilai diri anda apabila anda tahu pemikiran anda sendiri,” katanya. “Apabila anda terus bertanya kepada semua orang, ‘Apa pendapat anda?’ dan anda sentiasa mencari di luar tentang apa yang orang lain fikirkan atau kelulusan mereka, anda tidak tahu nilai diri anda sendiri.” “Saya tidak bertanya kepada sesiapa apa-apa, saya tahu apa yang saya fikirkan,” tambahnya dengan berani sambil suaranya semakin kuat dan bersemangat dalam panggilan Zoom itu. “Saya tidak peduli apa yang orang lain fikirkan tentang saya… Kerana saya tahu siapa diri saya dan saya suka siapa diri saya.” Orman mencadangkan untuk melihat kewangan anda sebagai cerminan betapa teratur dan bertanggungjawabnya anda—yang juga boleh membantu menilai nilai anda di tempat kerja. “Jika wang anda dalam keadaan kucar-kacir, itu bermakna anda seorang yang kucar-kacir kerana wang anda tidak boleh melakukan apa-apa tanpa anda—anda adalah orang yang menerima gaji, anda adalah orang yang melaburkannya, anda adalah orang yang menyimpannya, anda adalah orang yang membelanjakannya,” tambahnya. Orman mencadangkan untuk meluangkan masa bagi menilai berapa banyak wang yang masuk dan keluar, tetapi yang paling penting, berapa banyak hutang yang membelenggu anda kerana, katanya, ia menjadikan anda “tidak berdaya”. Tanpa kebebasan kewangan, hampir mustahil untuk berdiri teguh dan oleh itu mengetahui nilai diri anda, katanya. “Jika wang anda teratur sepenuhnya, maka anda harus faham bahawa anda mungkin lebih berkuasa daripada yang anda fikirkan.” Versi cerita ini pada asalnya diterbitkan di .com pada 18 Julai 2023 Baca lebih banyak cerita kewangan peribadi daripada Orianna Rosa Royle: Golongan muda hampir sama berkemungkinan untuk merujuk juruwang berbanding pakar kewangan dan lebih mengenali nilai bersih Elon Musk berbanding nilai bersih keluarga mereka, menurut kajian Gen Z menjangkakan untuk mewarisi wang dan aset—tetapi ibu bapa mereka daripada generasi boomer tidak merancang untuk meninggalkan apa-apa 70% daripada Gen Z berasa sangat bimbang tentang wang sehingga mereka tidak boleh tidur—mereka menanganinya dengan berbaring di katil dan menonton TV daripada membuat bajet Pekerja purata perlu menyimpan selama 52 tahun untuk keluar daripada kelas pertengahan dan diklasifikasikan sebagai kaya, menurut penyelidikan baharu Berjuta-juta lelaki Gen Z tidak bekerja—mereka begitu tidak berminat sehingga mereka mempertaruhkan seluruh gaji mereka pada warna merah atau hitam: ‘$256K akan dipertaruhkan di atas meja’ Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Kita memerlukan cara berfikir yang baru tentang minum: Sudah tiba masanya untuk menggantikan ‘minuman standard’ dengan nasihat yang sebenarnya boleh digunakan oleh orang ramai

(SeaPRwire) - Semasa anda keluar minum bersama rakan sekerja selepas waktu kerja, adakah anda memesan 20 gram etanol, atau Negroni? 10 gram etanol, atau Pilsner? 16 gram etanol, atau segelas Malbec? Melainkan anda seorang ahli kimia, kemungkinan besar anda memilih yang kedua. Namun, kebanyakan garis panduan minuman menganggap yang pertama. Peraturan di sesetengah negara telah melayan pengguna seperti kalkulator manusia, mengharapkan mereka untuk menavigasi dunia "unit" dan "minuman standard" yang hanya wujud di luar makmal. Garis Panduan Pemakanan AS yang baru diumumkan baru-baru ini telah membuat perubahan ketara daripada pendekatan ini. Mereka menggugurkan cadangan minuman harian, secara berkesan meninggalkan konsep "minuman standard". Langkah ini membolehkan mesej yang lebih ringkas: dewasa yang memilih untuk minum harus berbuat demikian secara sederhana. Apabila pembuat dasar global mempertimbangkan cara terbaik untuk menyokong kesederhanaan, persoalan utama yang perlu ditangani ialah sama ada garis panduan itu sesuai untuk tujuan di dunia sebenar. Mitos minuman standard “Minuman standard” sentiasa menjadi fiksyen yang mengandaikan tahap ketepatan dan konsistensi yang mungkin ditemui di makmal tetapi tidak di majlis makan malam. Saiz gelas berbeza-beza. Kekuatan alkohol berbeza-beza. Wain selalunya ditambah semula di tengah gelas. Arak keras dituangkan secara bebas di rumah dan di banyak bar. Kebanyakan koktel terlaris di dunia, seperti Negroni, Martini, atau Old Fashioned, selalunya mempunyai 20%–30% Alkohol Mengikut Isipadu (ABV) atau lebih. Mengapa pengguna diajar bahawa "satu minuman adalah satu minuman" apabila terdapat perbezaan ketara dalam jumlah alkohol yang boleh terkandung dalam minuman yang berbeza? Cabaran ini bertambah buruk kerana "minuman standard" berbeza di seluruh sempadan. Satu unit alkohol di Vienna adalah dua kali ganda saiz satu unit di Madrid. Jika pembuat dasar dan saintis tidak dapat menetapkan definisi yang sama, tidak realistik untuk mengharapkan pengguna menterjemahkan abstraksi ini kepada tingkah laku seharian. Dan di seluruh dunia, alkohol tertanam dalam budaya yang berbeza dalam pelbagai cara, yang tidak dapat dikurangkan kepada satu rangka kerja teknikal—daripada tradisi sake Jepun kepada adat vodka Poland kepada budaya bir Brazil. Sebaliknya, dasar harus menumpukan pada akal sehat dan literasi kesihatan yang berfungsi. Daripada matematik mental kepada perubahan tingkah laku Sudah tentu, apa-apa yang mengandungi alkohol boleh disalahgunakan, tetapi tidak semua corak minum membawa risiko yang sama. Corak risiko tertinggi secara amnya melibatkan pengambilan produk berkekuatan tinggi dengan cepat. Oleh itu, panduan yang lebih kukuh harus menumpukan pada menggalakkan corak yang "rendah dan perlahan", menggalakkan pengguna untuk memilih pilihan yang lebih rendah kekuatan dan untuk mengawal kadar mereka. Pendekatan "rendah dan perlahan" ini bukan sekadar akal sehat; ia disokong oleh penyelidikan. Tinjauan komprehensif Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) mengenai dasar alkohol di Rusia menyimpulkan bahawa peralihan penggunaan daripada minuman keras berkekuatan tinggi secara langsung dikaitkan dengan peningkatan pelbagai petunjuk kesihatan awam (WHO Europe, 2019). Bir sesuai dengan corak minum "rendah dan perlahan" secara semula jadi. Ia mempunyai kandungan alkohol mengikut isipadu yang lebih rendah daripada kategori lain dan isipadu cecair menyediakan mekanisme kawalan kadar terbina dalam. Dan penggunaan pembungkusan tunggal oleh industri bir menghapuskan tekaan yang biasa dengan minuman yang dituangkan secara bebas. Pengguna yang minum bir 25cl pada 5% ABV tahu dengan tepat apa yang mereka ambil tanpa memerlukan kalkulator. Pada masa yang sama, pembuat bir memenuhi permintaan pengguna yang ketara dan semakin meningkat untuk bir rendah dan tanpa alkohol. Pasaran untuk produk rendah dan tanpa alkohol berkembang lebih daripada 7% dalam 10 pasaran global utama pada tahun 2022, dengan bir menyumbang sebahagian besar kategori ini (IWSR, 2022). Pasaran yang semakin meningkat ini mempunyai impak sebenar terhadap tingkah laku, dengan kajian di UK mendapati satu daripada lima pengguna melaporkan penggunaan alkohol mingguan mereka berkurangan selepas mereka mula minum alternatif rendah dan tanpa alkohol (Portman Group, 2022). Daripada teori kepada realiti Kesederhanaan cenderung berlaku melalui pilihan kecil yang realistik. Apabila pembuat dasar mempertimbangkan cara terbaik untuk menggalakkan kesederhanaan, mereka harus menumpukan pada menutup jurang antara teori dan amalan dengan melihat strategi yang terbukti dan berasaskan bukti. Pakar telah lama menyeru peraturan yang membezakan mengikut jenis minuman dan kandungan alkohol—amalan yang kurang ketat untuk minuman dengan alkohol yang kurang pekat seperti bir (Rehm et al., 2019). Di seluruh dunia, terdapat kerajaan yang sudah menerajui. Ramai ahli OECD, contohnya, menggunakan kadar cukai eksais yang lebih rendah untuk bir berbanding minuman keras dan menawarkan kadar yang lebih rendah lagi untuk pilihan rendah dan tanpa alkohol, secara berkesan mendorong kedua-dua pengeluar dan pengguna ke arah kesederhanaan (OECD, 2020). Kesederhanaan bukanlah masalah matematik untuk diselesaikan, tetapi tingkah laku untuk disokong. Jika kita mahu menggalakkan kesederhanaan, sudah tiba masanya untuk memikirkan semula "minuman standard."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Indonesia’s ITS Develops Scalable, High-Efficiency Palm-Based Biogasoline Production Technology ACN Newswire

Indonesia’s ITS Develops Scalable, High-Efficiency Palm-Based Biogasoline Production Technology

SURABAYA, INDONESIA, May 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) has developed an innovative technology known as Benwit (Palm Gasoline), enabling the conversion of crude palm oil (CPO) into high-quality biogasoline, and presenting a promising alternative for reducing Indonesia’s substantial dependence on imported petroleum and foreign extraction technologies.Geopolitical tensions have continued to disrupt the global oil market and threaten energy supply security across Southeast Asia, thus emerging economies such as Indonesia are placing greater emphasis on energy sovereignty to safeguard national interests against the volatility of fossil fuel supply chains. Dr Eng Hosta Ardhyananta ST MSc explained the process and results of producing Palm Oil Gasoline using the "Benwit" method he discovered.The research, funded by the Indonesian Oil Palm Plantation Fund Management Agency (BPDPKS), applies an advanced catalytic cracking method developed by ITS expert Dr. Eng. Hosta Ardhyananta, S.T., M.Sc., and his team. This method is designed to decompose large triglyceride molecules in crude palm oil (CPO) into lighter hydrocarbon fractions that are suitable for use in combustion engines.Hosta's team successfully optimized the reaction by introducing a bimetallic catalytic composed of Nickel Oxide (Nio) and Copper Oxide (CuO). This catalytic synergy enabled a substantial reduction in operating temperature, from 380°C to 320°C, while simultaneously increasing the biogasoline yield from 60% to an impressive 83%.The resulting fuel consists of short-chain hydrocarbons (C5–C11), closely resembling the chemical composition of commercial gasoline. In addition to the primary fuel product, the process reflects a zero-emission approach, in which gaseous byproducts are recycled as a heat source for the reactors, while liquid residues are repurposed as fuel for industrial or household stoves.Hosta noted that the innovation has been applied with agricultural machinery, but testing has been underway since April with conventional internal combustion engines through a blending method with fossil fuels and will continue to enable Benwit as a primary fuel for conventional vehicles, in line with the Indonesian government's plan to implement B50 biodiesel in July.This innovation aligns with several of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 7 on affordable and clean energy, and Goal 12 on responsible consumption and production. A comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) conducted by the research team indicates that the production process generates a minimal carbon footprint in comparison with conventional fossil fuels.The development of Benwit has also received full support from the Indonesian Minister of Agriculture, Amran Sulaiman. In the near future, collaboration with PT Perkebunan Nusantara (PTPN) PalmCo IV is expected to commence following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with ITS.Prof. Dr. (HC) Ir. Bambang Pramujati, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., and Rector of ITS, underscored the timeliness of Benwit, noting that the current global situation offers a strategic opportunity for the government to accelerate the transition toward alternative energy sources, while the use of domestic palm oil reserves could help mitigate the effects of external fuel crises.Benwit bio-based fuel products, for agriculturl machinery and for convetional vehicles, represent a potentially significant policy instrument for advancing the transition to renewable energy, while working to reinforce national energy security.About ITSEstablished in 1960, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) is one of Indonesia’s leading universities, with a strong emphasis on science, engineering, and innovation.

Global Experts call for Paradigm Shift in Medicine, Health and Education to Save Lives and Fight Escalating Health Crisis ACN Newswire

Global Experts call for Paradigm Shift in Medicine, Health and Education to Save Lives and Fight Escalating Health Crisis

INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global consortium of 64 experts (72 entities, 5 continents) unveiled two coordinated consensus plus policy brief reports, outlining a science‑driven roadmap to confront escalating health crises and to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs-including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc.: 75% of global deaths; 82% in low-/middle income countries; 90% of all death in European region).The centerpiece is HEAL-Healthy Eating & Active Living, ideally whole‑food plant‑predominant/vegetarian-vegan diets & daily exercise outdoors/active mobility-as the minimum, first‑line standard in health and care. The authors urge immediate action on Prevention-over-Treatment and reforming education and human‑relevant science (drug failure rate from animal studies is 90-95%, and as high as 99.6% for Alzheimer disease), with a rapid shift from disease‑centered reaction to person‑centered, lifestyle‑first cure and care.Figure 1. HEAL means choosing a whole-food, plant-predominant (ideally vegan) diets coupled with daily exercise outdoors/in nature to kick-start better health.

As childhood-entrenched health literacy lasts a lifetime; embedding HEAL from primary to tertiary education is the policy priority of our generation." -Lead author Katharina Wirnitzer | PHT, University of Innsbruck & CCCTIMFigure 2. Katharina Wirnitzer/Keynote on Vegan Diet in Sports. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer.Why change is imperativeThe paradox: Despite rising health spending and scientific advances, public health gains lag while ever-growing NCDs. The expert panel offers 101 consensus statements and a 10‑step policy roadmap to act across the lifespan-from individual behavior to population‑level change.Why HEAL, and why now: HEAL combines Healthy Eating (whole‑food, plant‑predominant; preferably vegetarian/vegan) with Active Living (regular, ideally daily, including outdoor activity and active mobility). Evidence shows synergistic benefits beyond either alone, reducing reliance on drugs and surgery while improving resilience and sustainability of health systems.Prevention-First (3:1): The reports recommend prioritizing prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion over treatment by 3:1 (Figure 3), making healthy choices the easy, first‑line intervention and reserving medicalized treatment for specific indications.Education and workforce: Embed HEAL from primary through tertiary education and continuously upskill healthcare and education professionals to deliver evidence‑based lifestyle counseling, routine assessment, and monitoring. Improve meal standards and support active mobility in schools and public spaces.Human‑relevant science: Accelerate the transition to non‑animal, human‑relevant methods for basic and preclinical research and for efficacy, safety and toxicity testing through funding priorities, validation, and regulatory adoption.Policy roadmap: Apply Health in All Policies (HiAP) to link individual choices with systemic supports (Figure 4); invest in supportive defaults (healthy public catering, active transport, public‑space design, community HEAL programs); embed HEAL in curricula; and track outcomes with robust evaluation to scale what works."Every dollar/euro invested in evidence-based prevention saves multiples in treatment. HEAL is the smartest first investment a health system can make." -Bernd Haditsch | ÖGK - Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Prevention Unit"Obesity is a disease with powerful drivers. HEAL gives every patient a proven, first-line foundation to reclaim their health." -Fatima Cody Stanford | Harvard Medical School & MGH"A doctor who cannot counsel patients on the Power of Lifestyle, especially on food and movement, is only half-equipped. Lifestyle education in medical school is the missing foundation of modern medicine. Helping our patients to eat a more plant-strong diet is the most powerful healing medicine we can prescribe." -Michael Klaper | Moving Medicine Forward"Plant-forward diets provide a powerful opportunity to concurrently improve health and wellbeing for people, farmed animals and the environment." -Andrew Knight | Griffith UniversityFigure 3. Four areas-of-action, balanced 3:1, to achieve lifelong health. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer."Given its cost-effectiveness, Traditional, Integrative, and Complementary Medicine will be the evidence-based mainstream of tomorrow's global healthcare." -Tomáš Pfeiffer | ITCIM & SANATOR"Treatment alone will not sustain health systems. HEAL connects prevention, lifestyle medicine and integrative care to advance salutogenesis on a planetary scale. We must invest far more in creating health." -Georg Seifert | WHO CC & CCCTIM, Charité Universitäts mediz in Berlin"The science clearly shows that, when it comes to human health, animal protection is a win-win. Given human health's complexity, and since animal testing virtually fails to cure human diseases, human-relevant methods already outperform animal experimentation and must therefore be implemented with priority in science, with funds going to human-focused research.

Datavault AI and CyberCatch Announce Signing of Binding Letter of Intent for Datavault AI to Acquire CyberCatch to Accelerate AI-Driven, Quantum-Resistant Cyber Risk Mitigation Solutions ACN Newswire

Datavault AI and CyberCatch Announce Signing of Binding Letter of Intent for Datavault AI to Acquire CyberCatch to Accelerate AI-Driven, Quantum-Resistant Cyber Risk Mitigation Solutions

PHILADELPHIA, PA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. ("Datavault AI" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real-world asset ("RWA") tokenization technologies, and CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. ("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring." He is the former founder and CEO of Compliance Coach, which was acquired by FIS, a FORTUNE 500 company, where he served as GM, Risk, Information Security, and Compliance Solutions.CyberCatch's board and advisory board include:Tom Ridge, former special assistant to U.S. President, first Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and two-term Governor of PennsylvaniaDr. Marv Langston, former Director of Information Systems at U.S. DARPA and Cybersecurity Chief, U.S. NavyScott Tait, former U.S. Navy Commander and National Security Advisor at the Joint Chiefs at the U.S. PentagonCyberCatch's customers span the U.S. defense supply chain, healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, education, and public sectors, and the Company's capabilities were extended through the February 2026 acquisition of multi-authority attribute-based encryption technology, now branded MARS-MABE, and through 2026 reseller and referral partnerships such as with Speridian Technologies and other multiple reseller partners to U.S. government agencies.Added Strategic Benefit: Platform Integration and Cyber Defense Layer Across the Datavault AI StackFollowing closing, CyberCatch's AI-enabled Software-as-a-Service platform is also expected to operate as the cybersecurity and continuous-compliance layer across Datavault AI's existing technology suite, including:DataValue®, DataScore®, and Information Data Exchange® (IDE®) running natively on Available Infrastructure's SanQtum AI quantum-resistant, zero-trust edge platform across 1,000 urban micro-edge neocloud sites planned in 100+ U.S. cities by year-end 2026Acoustic Sciences division technologies (WiSA®, ADIO®, Sumerian®) and IDE® deployments serving sports, entertainment, biotech, education, fintech, real estate, healthcare, and energy customersFederal and regulated-industry customer workloads where continuous compliance attestation against NIST, CMMC, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS frameworks is increasingly a precondition for procurement, audit, and renewalThe proposed acquisition is intended to give Datavault AI customers and partners an integrated path from secure compute through AI-driven data analytics, with continuous attestation at every layer.Management Commentary"Cybersecurity is no longer a separate stack from data and AI - it is the precondition for both. CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions. The parties have agreed to negotiate a definitive agreement during a 45-day mutual exclusivity period.About Datavault AIDatavault AI™ (NASDAQ:DVLT) is a pioneer in AI-driven data experiences, valuation, and monetization of assets in the Web 3.0 environment.

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow SeaPRwire

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow

Moscow, Russia – May 01, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – The 2nd Open Dialogue “The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth” took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts. According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet. “Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries,” the honorary guest of the event stated. According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty. The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: “Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries’ markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together.” Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life. At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: “Investing in People,” “Investing in Connectivity,” “Investing in Technology,” and “Investing in the Environment.” The winner in the “Investing in Technology” track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space. Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the “Investing in Connectivity” track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control. In the “Investing in the Environment” track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country’s real wealth. The winner of the “Investing in People” track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange. The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the “Investing in People” track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models. More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.

6 Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Credit Card That Matches Your Lifestyle ACN Newswire

6 Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Credit Card That Matches Your Lifestyle

SINGAPORE, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Choosing from the many Credit Cards available in Singapore can feel overwhelming, especially when each option highlights different rewards, fees, and benefits. A card that aligns with your lifestyle can help you manage expenses better while offering value through rewards, convenience, and flexibility. Whether your spending leans towards dining, travel, shopping, or daily essentials, understanding a few key factors can help narrow down choices that match how you live and spend.Here are some important factors that can help you evaluate Credit Cards based on real lifestyle needs rather than just promotional offers.1. Understand your monthly spending patternsBefore comparing Credit Cards, it can help to look closely at where your money usually goes each month. Some Singaporeans may opt to spend on dining and food delivery, while others may prioritise groceries, transport, or online shopping. Identifying these patterns can help you shortlist Credit Cards that reward the categories you use most often. This approach can make rewards feel more relevant, rather than spread across benefits you rarely use.2. Evaluate rewards structure and earning ratesCredit Cards offer rewards in different forms, such as cashback, reward points, or air miles, and each structure suits different spending habits. Cashback Cards may appeal to those who prefer straightforward savings, such as earning rebates on eligible categories, often capped at a monthly limit. Rewards or miles cards may suit frequent travellers or shoppers who enjoy redeeming points later.It's also worth checking the base earn rate, which is what you earn on regular spending, and the bonus earn rates offered for certain categories like dining, travel, or online shopping. Many cards also set bonus caps, meaning the higher rewards only apply up to a certain amount of spending each month. Understanding these details can help you see how much you can realistically earn based on your usual spending.3. Consider annual fees versus actual benefitsAnnual fees for Credit Cards in Singapore can range from around SGD 150 to over SGD 500. Some premium cards offer perks such as lounge access, dining privileges, or travel insurance. However, these additional benefits provide better value if you use them often enough to offset the higher fee. Many cards also provide fee waivers for the first year, which can help users test whether the card fits their lifestyle. Comparing the annual fee against how realistically you will use the perks can help determine whether the overall value feels balanced for your spending habits.4. Assess eligibility and income requirementsIn Singapore, most Credit Cards have minimum annual income requirements, usually starting from SGD 30,000 for citizens and permanent residents, and higher for foreigners. Premium cards may require annual incomes of SGD 120,000 or more. Understanding eligibility early can help avoid unnecessary applications and credit checks. Choosing a card aligned with your income range can also help ensure smoother approval and manageable credit limits that fit comfortably within your financial situation.5. Review interest rates and repayment flexibilityWhile Credit Cards can offer convenience and rewards, interest rates in Singapore often range between 25% and 28% per annum if balances are not paid in full. Some cards offer repayment features, such as instalment plans that split larger purchases into smaller monthly payments, or balance transfer options that can help consolidate existing credit card outstanding balances at a lower interest rate for a promotional period. Looking at repayment features, interest calculations, and payment flexibility can help support responsible usage, especially during months with higher expenses or unexpected costs.6. Check overseas usage and foreign currency feesFor those who travel or shop internationally, foreign currency transaction fees are an important consideration. Most Credit Cards in Singapore charge around 3.25% on overseas transactions. Some travel-focused cards may offer lower fees or even 0% FX fees on eligible transactions, while others may provide higher miles earn rates for foreign spend. Evaluating how often international spending occurs can help decide whether such features can add value or if a general-purpose card works just as well.Final thoughtsChoosing the right Credit Card is less about chasing the biggest offer and more about finding a match for your lifestyle and spending habits. By considering rewards, fees, perks, and usability through a practical lens, Credit Cards can become a supportive financial tool rather than a confusing product. Taking time to compare options thoughtfully can help ensure the card you select continues to add value as your lifestyle evolves.Disclaimer: This content is published by iQuanti Singapore Pte.

Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty.The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: "Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries' markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together."Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life.At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: "Investing in People," "Investing in Connectivity," "Investing in Technology," and "Investing in the Environment."The winner in the "Investing in Technology" track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space.Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the "Investing in Connectivity" track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control.In the "Investing in the Environment" track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country's real wealth.The winner of the "Investing in People" track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange.The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the "Investing in People" track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models.More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.Social LinksTelegram: https://t.me/gowithRussiaMedia ContactsBrand: Russia National CentreContact: Media teamEmail: pressa@russia.ruWebsite: https://en.russia.ru Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

ULVAC Establishes Japan-Based Production for Rare-Earth Magnet Vacuum Melting Furnaces

Chigasaki, Japan, May 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ULVAC, Inc. anticipates that orders for its continuous vacuum melting furnaces dedicated to rare-earth magnets will approximately triple year on year, driven primarily by magnet manufacturers in Europe and North America. In response to this growth in orders, ULVAC has decided to establish a new production system for these furnaces in Japan. By adding a production site in Japan to its existing facility in China, ULVAC will build a dual-site supply structure, providing customers with diversified supply options.Continuous vacuum melting furnace for rare-earth magnetsBackgroundRare-earth magnets are essential core components used in advanced equipment across a wide range of industries, including electric vehicles, wind power generation, HVAC systems, data centers, and space applications. While global demand is expected to continue expanding, driven by decarbonization and the proliferation of AI, near-shoring—the relocation of production closer to end markets—is accelerating, particularly in Europe and North America, as global supply chains remain heavily dependent on China.ULVAC has long manufactured rare-earth magnet vacuum melting furnaces through its Chinese subsidiary, providing dedicated service to the market for many years. This facility will continue to serve as a key production site for stable supply to customers in the Chinese market. Meanwhile, growing demand from new magnet manufacturers, primarily in Europe and North America, has increased calls for a geographically diversified supply structure. To ensure stable equipment supply in response to this expanding global demand, ULVAC has decided to establish a new production system in Japan.Overview of Japan-Based ProductionItemDetailsTarget ProductContinuous Vacuum Melting FurnaceJapan-Based Production CapacityUp to 12 units per yearStart of OperationsSeptember 2026 (planned)Start of ShipmentsShipments to commence sequentially ULVAC's StrengthsSince its founding in 1952, ULVAC has been developing Japan-produced vacuum melting and deposition equipment, accumulating approximately 70 years of technological expertise. The Company is one of the few equipment manufacturers in the world offering a comprehensive lineup covering the key vacuum processes in rare-earth magnet manufacturing, including melting, sintering, and aging. ULVAC holds a market share exceeding 70%* in each of its continuous furnace product lines for these major processes. The continuous vacuum melting furnace, for which the Japan-based production system is being established, handles the melting and casting process—the starting point of magnet material production.
