Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme: 30 Hong Kong Students Embarked on a Study Tour in Chaoshan

HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - ‘A Thousand Years of Chaozhou Flavour, A Legacy Passed Down Through Generations.’ As one of the three major branches of Cantonese cuisine, Chaozhou cuisine is distinguished by its refined techniques and delicate seafood dishes, with an emphasis on the purity of flavour and meticulous preparation, all reflecting a deep-rooted cultural heritage. In this spirit, and to encourage the exchange of culinary skills, the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation once again partnered with the Chinese Culinary Institute to launch the ‘Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme — Chaoshan Edition’. From 26 July to 2 August, a group of about 30 students and faculty members travelled to Shantou to immerse themselves in the essence of Chaoshan cuisine and directly engage with its rich intangible heritage.Building on the success of last year’s ‘Lingnan Culture: Fengcheng Dim Sum Training Programme’, this year's initiative took students to another culinary heartland — Shantou. The programme was conducted in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, a prestigious institution known for cultivating master chefs in Cantonese cuisine, and was supported by the Teochew Cuisine Research Institutes. The classes, led by nationally and provincially accredited chefs, including the renowned Teochew culinary master ZHONG Chengquan, covered traditional techniques such as braising, boiling, stir-frying, steaming, stewing, baking, and deep-frying. Students also gained firsthand experience with the intangible cultural heritage, specifically Chaoshan Gongfu Tea.A Curriculum that Blended Culinary Training with Cultural ImmersionDuring the eight-day programme, students learned to prepare a wide range of classic Teochew dishes, from appetisers and main courses to snacks and desserts. Culinary highlights included crab in fermented soybean sauce, Teochew marinated meats, braised duck with herbs, stir-fried beef with rice noodles, crispy oyster pancake, roast goose with yam paste, flash-fried squid rolls, traditional steamed fish, braised eel, sesame dumplings, and deep-fried spring rolls. This hands-on training strengthened the students' knowledge of authentic Chaoshan culinary techniques and flavours.The programme also offered cultural excursions that deepened students’ understanding of local heritage, including visits to the Chaoshan History and Culture Exhibition Centre and the Teochew Cuisine Research Institute, along with a live Yingge Dance performance — another of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.Ms Dionne KUNG, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation, and Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students. Ms Kung expressed that the GBA Youth Foundation has a longstanding commitment to supporting experiential learning and cross-regional exchange for youth. She noted that this invaluable opportunity to learn from master chefs not only enabled students to appreciate the essence of Chaoshan cuisine but also enhanced their comprehension of Chinese culture and strengthened their sense of national identity through meaningful engagement.Mr James YAP Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, shared, ‘Chaoshan cuisine emphasises precision in knife skills, heat control, and balanced ingredient pairing. Through hands-on learning and exchanges with experienced chefs, students not only refined their culinary techniques but also deepened their appreciation of Chinese food culture. This experience broadened their horizons and laid a solid foundation for their future professional growth.’Mr CHEN Shaojun, Founder of the National-level Chaoshan Cuisine Culinary Master Studio at Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, remarked, ‘Chaoshan cuisine embodies a craftsmanship spirit passed down through generations. The enthusiasm and dedication displayed by the Hong Kong students during the programme are inspiring. We look forward to future collaborations that will further promote Chaoshan culture and introduce it to a broader stage.’XU Kin Cheung, a year 2 student from the Chinese Culinary Institute's Diploma in Chinese Cuisine (QF Level 3) programme who participated in this training, shared, ‘This experience enhanced my knowledge of Chaoshan cuisine, from its precise cooking techniques to its refined approach to flavour. I hope to incorporate these insights into my own creations back in Hong Kong and help more people discover the unique charm of Chaoshan culinary culture.’Through the Chinese Culinary Culture Training Programme, the GBA Youth Community Foundation aims not only to enhance the skills of young people pursuing careers in the culinary arts, but also to foster their appreciation for and commitment to preserving and promoting the richness of Chinese culinary heritage.Ms Dionne Kung, Deputy CEO of the Greater Bay Area Homeland Youth Community Foundation visited the training site to offer encouragement to the students.Students from the Chinese Culinary Institute demonstrated dedication and enthusiasm during the training programme.This programme is in collaboration with Guangdong Yuedong Technician College, Mr James Yap Han-phong, Principal of the Chinese Culinary Institute, also visited the training site to engage with college representatives and culinary instructors.Students also took part in cultural learning activities, including a live performance of the Yingge Dance, one of China’s intangible cultural heritage traditions.

HKTDC to release report on Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market – Consumer Survey Results

- 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year particularly young consumers and those in areas with higher consumption levels.- Online shoppers hold positive views of Hong Kong products and brands, giving an average score of 8.7 to Hong Kong products.- Genuine products, reputable merchants and wide product selection are the most important considerations for respondents, over low prices and other factors when purchasing online.- Mainland online shoppers mostly buy electronic, luxury and fashion goods from Hong Kong.HONG KONG, Aug 7, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) released the research report: Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Consumer Survey Results. The results show that Mainland online shoppers generally like Hong Kong products. Overall, 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. Mainland consumers have a high level of trust in Hong Kong brands and hold products in high regard. This provides a solid foundation for Hong Kong businesses to expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. Hong Kong businesses can leverage the advantage of Hong Kong brands and choose suitable platforms for e-commerce sales. The upcoming release of the E-commerce Case Studies report will focus on ways to develop e-commerce retail sales and serve as a reference for Hong Kong businesses looking to expand their market in the Mainland.HKTDC Director of Research, Irina Fan, said: “Mainland consumers shop online frequently, averaging 9.4 purchases per month. This is particularly true for those in tier-one and Greater Bay Area (GBA) cities. When shopping online, Mainland consumers’ primary consideration is whether the products are genuine, not low prices. This suggests that Hong Kong businesses can leverage the superior quality of Hong Kong products and the strong reputation of Hong Kong brands in Mainland China to expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. They can flexibly use comprehensive shelf and ‘interest-based’ e-commerce platforms to sell online along with methods such as live-streaming and short videos for promotion, and stand out in the highly competitive market through targeted marketing strategies.”HKTDC Research commissioned an agency to conduct a survey of 2,200 middle-income or above consumers from different Mainland cities during the second and third quarters of 2024. The aim was to learn about their online consumption habits, as well as their preferences regarding Hong Kong products. The findings will help Hong Kong companies better formulate appropriate strategies to tap the Mainland e-commerce retail market.Online shopping characteristics of Mainland consumers- Mainland consumers shop online frequently, averaging 9.4 purchases per month. This is particularly true for those in tier-one cities. Shopping frequency among women (10 times monthly) is higher than for men (8.8 times). By age group, consumers aged 30-49 demonstrate the highest online shopping frequency, averaging 11.2 purchases per month.- Comprehensive e-commerce platforms are the predominant online shopping channel, with 95% of respondents using comprehensive/digital shelf e-commerce platforms to shop online. This figure far exceeds the use of live-streaming/short video platforms (38%) and group buying platforms (32%). In terms of online shopping for cross-border or imported products, consumers prefer to use Tmall International or JD International, with 73% and 63% respectively choosing these platforms. Other notable platforms include Douyin E-commerce Global (30%) and Amazon China (21%).- Authenticity, wide selection and reputation are top considerations for online shopping. An authenticity guarantee policy (15%), reputable merchants (11%) and wide product selection (9%) are the top three considerations for respondents when purchasing online.- “Promotion” is the most important factor for consumers when buying newly-launched products online. Nearly 90% of respondents cited “promotion” as their primary consideration, followed by product quality and design (70%).- Mainland consumers demand quick delivery. Mainland online shoppers, on average, get their products 3.2 days after placing an order, with fast fulfilment a key competitive advantage in winning over local consumers.Wing Chu, Principal Economist (Greater China) of HKTDC, said: “Although online purchasing power currently clusters around tier-one and tier-two cities, the tier-three cities are becoming a focus for Hong Kong companies. Furthermore, irrespective of whether they are shopping locally or from further afield, consumers generally demand quick delivery, and their expectations in this regard continue to rise. The Hong Kong products that Mainland consumers most like to buy online are consumer electronics and electrical products (72%), followed by luxury goods (46%) and fashion products (41%).” It’s worth noting that Mainland consumers who purchase Hong Kong products online tend to spend a higher average order amount on children's products, drugs and health supplements, and pet products compared to the overall average.”Hong Kong products favored by Mainland Consumers- Mainland online shoppers generally like Hong Kong products, particularly those in areas with higher consumption levels. Overall, 78% of respondents had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. The proportion was 85% in tier-one cities, 81% in the Greater Bay Area, 78% in tier-two cities and 74% in tier-three cities.- Hong Kong products are more favoured by young consumers. In terms of age distribution, 83% of respondents in the 18-29 age group said they had bought Hong Kong products online in the past year. This was closely followed by consumers aged 30-49 (82%), while the proportion among consumers above 50 years old was lower (65%).- Female consumers in high-consumption areas tend to prefer Hong Kong products. While overall gender differences are minimal – 77% of male and 79% of female respondents reported purchasing Hong Kong products – the trend varies by region. In tier-one and tier-two cities, and in the GBA, significantly more female consumers have bought Hong Kong products online.- Mainland online shoppers hold positive views of Hong Kong products, brands and online stores. The respondents gave an average score of 8.7 to Hong Kong products when compared with other products. Respondents from tier-three cities gave the highest score of 9.2. In terms of age, consumers aged 18-29 gave Hong Kong products the highest rating of 8.9.- Mainland online shoppers mostly buy electronic, luxury and fashion goods from Hong Kong. The Hong Kong products that Mainland consumers most like to buy online are consumer electronics and electrical products (72%), followed by luxury goods (46%) and fashion products (41%). The GBA has the highest proportion of consumers buying consumer electronics and electrical products (79%), followed closely by tier-one cities (78%). The proportion of consumers buying luxury goods in tier-one cities (53%), the GBA (52%) and tier-two cities (51%) are comparable.- Orders in food and drug sectors, and of products for children and pets, exceed the overall average. Among Mainland shoppers who have bought Hong Kong products online, the average order value for children’s goods is 24% higher than the average. Orders of drug and health products (16%), pet products (29%), and fresh produce and food (18%) are also significantly higher in value than the average.- The Hong Kong “brand” enjoys a good reputation in the Mainland market and is widely seen as a mark of trust and quality. When asked to describe Hong Kong merchandise, brands and products, respondents viewed products from Hong Kong as “in compliance with stringent product safety standards” (28%), “guaranteed raw material/material quality” (28%), “guaranteed genuine products” (27%), “confidence in quality” (27%) and “fashionable look” (27%).- Mainland consumers seek out official brand channels. Mainland consumers obtain information from official brand channels when choosing Hong Kong electronics and electrical products (31%), luxury items (34%), sports products (34%) and fashion products (26%). They rely heavily on product reviews when purchasing Hong Kong drug and health products (34%) and beauty products (32%) online.Eric Chu, Economist (Greater China) of HKTDC, said: “Based on case studies of e-commerce retailers and service providers in Mainland China, Hong Kong businesses might consider using multi-channel operation strategies. This includes leveraging both traditional digital shelves platforms and emerging ‘interest-based‘ platforms to reach different consumer groups and increase traffic. However, some cases show that while businesses can collaborate with influencers/KOLs for "influencer marketing," it's important to base these efforts on market analysis and data to select influencer endorsements that suit their products. This approach improves promotional accuracy and achieves cost-effective, optimal marketing results.”HKTDC will later release an additional report titled "Hong Kong Businesses Navigating Mainland China E-commerce Retail Market - Case Studies," which includes detailed case studies of e-commerce activities and service providers in Mainland China.The second Hong Kong Shopping Festival aims to help local businesses navigate Mainland China e-commerceThe second Hong Kong Shopping Festival, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) will take place on Mainland e-commerce platforms from 1 to 31 August. Fully aligned with measures outlined in the 2024 Policy Address, the festival aims to support Hong Kong's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) as they expand into the Mainland e-commerce market. As the flagship event of HKTDC's E-commerce Express, the second Hong Kong Shopping Festival has attracted nearly 260 brands across seven major categories, including health supplements, food and beverages, home and living, personal care and cosmetics, apparel and accessories, smart gadgets, and products for the silver market.

Natural Beauty 2025 Interim Profit Surges by 136% to HK$11 Million

A good number of its core indicators for the period also reached record highs, evidencing the strong development resilience and growth potential of the Group in the beauty and skincare sector.Mainland China, which is the core market of the Group, recorded turnover HK$220 million in the first half of 2025, up 101% year-on-year, and has thus become the main driving force of the Group’s overall performance growth. In terms of channels, the franchise model performed particularly well, contributing turnover of HK$200 million, a 115% increase year-on-year. In the Review Period, 237 new franchise stores were added, a leap of 88%. The rapidly expanding store network has given the segment solid support for turnover growth. Turnover from self-owned channels (including counters) climbed by 112% to HK$13 million, reflecting the success of its refined retail operations. In addition, the turnover of the health supplements segment also grew by 110%, to HK$28 million, a testament to the success of the Group’s “Holistic Health” strategy.Dr. Lei Chien, Chairman and Executive Director of Natural Beauty, said, "The Group's ‘AI Technology, Beauty Industry, Holistic Health’ strategy has brought remarkable results and enabled us to transform our brand.

This system has facilitated the successful launch of 237 new stores in the first half of this year, all achieving strong business growth.Beyond the dual growth in cosmetics and AI devices, our "Total Wellness" strategy for health supplements delivered outstanding results - generating HK$28 million in revenue with nearly 110% year-on-year growth. The success stems from two key factors: firstly, the products, which closely align with consumers health demand of ‘internal and external nutrition’, are made with premium ingredients sourced globally and technically supported by cross-strait R&D centers apt in delivering high-quality nutritional solutions, and secondly, integrating with ‘Holistic Health’ scenarios, health supplements are promoted alongside skincare services to create closed-loop consumption.

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Conducts Shakedown Ahead of Asia Cross Country Rally 2025: Targeting First Overall Championship in Three Years JCN Newswire

Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Conducts Shakedown Ahead of Asia Cross Country Rally 2025: Targeting First Overall Championship in Three Years

Team Mitsubishi RalliartTOKYO, August 7, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, which receives technical support from the company, will compete in the upcoming Asia Cross Country Rally (AXCR) 2025 scheduled for August 8 to 16 in Thailand1. The team will enter three Triton2 pickup trucks, aiming for its first overall championship in three years.In early June, the team conducted high-load endurance tests simulating actual rally conditions on off-road courses around Khao Yai National Park in central Thailand, covering distances that exceeded the expected length of this year's Special Stages. Throughout the testing, the team fine-tuned the suspension and other chassis components, while also verifying the reliability and durability of the engine and body.On August 5, three days before the start of the rally, the team carried out a shakedown at a test course in Thailand to check each part of the vehicle, ensuring it is in optimal condition for the 2025 competition."Building on the significant upgrade in driving performance last year, the Triton rally car has undergone further enhancements for this year's AXCR," said Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart. "In addition to increasing engine torque and improving durability, we have refined the chassis to enhance both steering stability during high-speed cornering and reliable traction in muddy terrain. The rally will take place in northeastern Thailand, a landscape with sprawling plantations and flat dirt roads. This means we can expect high-speed racing, and I am confident that our refined chassis will demonstrate its strengths. One of our rally cars serving as a support vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission (AT). We aim to successfully navigate the harsh conditions of the AXCR, verify the durability and reliability of the AT model, and gather feedback to apply to our future vehicle development. I hope we can showcase the strength and audacity of Mitsubishi Motors-ness by reclaiming the overall victory for the first time in three years."Overview of AXCR 2025This year marks the 30th anniversary of the AXCR, drawing a significantly larger number of participants - 93 vehicles in total: 47 in the Auto category, 44 in the Moto category, and 2 in the Sidecar category. The rally will kick off with a ceremonial start at Walking Street in the city of Pattaya, one of Thailand's major tourist destinations on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. The rally proper begins with Leg 1 to Prachin Buri, approximately 130 kilometers from Bangkok. Leg 2 runs from Prachin Buri to Khao Yai, one of Thailand's leading highland resort areas, while Leg 3 takes place within Khao Yai. Leg 4 returns to Prachin Buri, and the rally will remain in the Prachin Buri area for Legs 5 and 6. In Leg 7, the rally returns to the starting point in Pattaya, and on the final day, Leg 8 finishes at the Bali Hai Pier in Pattaya.Overview of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart Support CarsFour Delica D:5s will once again assist Team Mitsubishi Ralliart as support cars. Team engineers will wait for the rally cars at the Passage Controls located along the course and perform maintenance on the cars returning from the Special Stages. This means that the support cars carrying the team director and engineers must be able to reach their destinations without fail, regardless of road conditions.The Delica D:5 is an all-around minivan featuring a robust body with a rib-bone frame and an electronically-controlled 4WD system that provides optimal maneuverability and road handling in a variety of weather and road conditions. Having operated as the support car for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart in the AXCR since 2023, it will once again be used this year by Team Director Hiroshi Masuoka to inspect the rally course. In order to enhance handling on rough terrain, the vehicle is equipped with an aluminum engine guard and is lifted by approximately 20 millimeters using dedicated front and rear suspension.The support cars will also share the same livery as the Triton rally cars this year, featuring the team's signature energetic red and a digital sandstorm graphic that evokes swirling dust, stretching from the front to the center of the vehicle. The Ralliart logo is displayed on both sides of the body.Updates on the rally will be posted on Ralliart's official Instagram account. https://www.instagram.com/ralliart.official/AXCR Special Website: https://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/brand/ralliart/axcr/axcr2025/1.

Innovative Warehouse Solutions Partners with Passport to Expand Seamless Global Fulfillment

Farmingdale, NY – August 08, 2025 – (SeaPRwire) –Innovative Warehouse Solutions (IWS), a leading U.S.-based third-party logistics (3PL) provider, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Passport, a premier international shipping carrier. This collaboration enhances IWS’s capabilities to offer clients streamlined global distribution through Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) and Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) services. With this new alliance, IWS clients can now reach customers in over 180 countries via DDP, simplifying and accelerating cross-border e-commerce fulfillment like never before. Known for its technology-forward fulfillment solutions across apparel, beauty, health, and merchandise sectors, IWS continues to invest in infrastructure and partnerships that offer clients greater speed, transparency, and reliability. By integrating Passport’s advanced international logistics technology directly into its operations, IWS is setting a new standard for seamless global shipping and enhanced customer experiences. Insights from Brian Gibbons, CEO of Innovative Warehouse Solutions To shed light on the importance of this partnership, Brian Gibbons, CEO of IWS, shared his perspective: “Brian, what was the main goal for IWS behind this new partnership?” “Over the past few years, we’ve optimized our domestic shipping partnerships, ensuring efficiency, speed, and reliability. However, international fulfillment has always felt a little off — like we were wearing running shoes for domestic shipping and wooden clogs for international. International shipping is inherently more complex, even before recent global tariff changes. Our previous partners could clear customs and complete deliveries, but the experience was not as frictionless or brand-centric as we wanted it to be for our clients.” “Do you believe Passport can prevent this friction?” “Absolutely. Passport has built a technology and logistics company focused solely on the needs of international e-commerce brands. Their backend systems are light years ahead of anything else we’ve seen. What’s even more impressive is their confidence — they don’t just promise good service; they take full responsibility by handling customer support for delivery issues on behalf of the brand. In a logistics environment where margins are razor thin, that commitment says everything about their capabilities and their technology stack.” “Beyond fewer issues in shipping, what other features made Passport stand out to IWS?” “The technology doesn’t just help us internally — it’s a powerful tool for our clients too. Brands can seamlessly integrate Passport’s systems into their own websites. They can display local currencies, like AUD for Australian shoppers, and give customers real-time, accurate shipping rates that include duties and taxes if they choose DDP. This reduces cart abandonment, eliminates unpleasant surprises at delivery, and ultimately protects brands’ margins by ensuring full transparency.” “Anything else your clients will benefit from?” “Definitely. For one, clients who first import goods into the U.S. and then re-export internationally can claw back a significant portion of previously paid duties and taxes — a huge financial advantage. Passport can even serve as the seller of record, making it easier to comply with country-specific tax regulations and reducing administrative burden for brands.” “Another major feature is the custom-branded tracking pages Passport offers. Instead of generic carrier tracking portals, brands can fully customize the tracking experience. They can embed promotions, videos, QR codes, or direct links to their social media pages, turning the shipping experience into a marketing channel. The tracking itself is more robust too, offering more scan events and better visibility, which minimizes customer anxiety and keeps the brand front and center during the entire delivery journey. No other carrier we’ve seen offers this level of integration and brand enhancement.” About Passport Passport is a modern international shipping carrier specializing in e-commerce logistics. Their services include comprehensive customs management, compliance support, localized customer service, and real-time tracking. With DDP services, Passport allows brands to offer upfront duty and tax payment options to international customers, eliminating unexpected fees and smoothing the delivery experience. Their DDU services provide additional flexibility for brands preferring recipient-based duty management. Serving over 220 global markets, Passport’s platform is built to make international shipping as seamless and brand-aligned as domestic delivery. About Innovative Warehouse Solutions Innovative Warehouse Solutions (IWS) is a technology-driven third-party logistics provider specializing in comprehensive fulfillment services for both B2C and B2B clients. Known for its robust inventory management systems, seamless API integrations, and deep vertical-specific expertise across apparel, beauty, health, and consumer goods industries, IWS is committed to delivering scalable solutions that support brands through every stage of growth. With a relentless focus on efficiency, transparency, and innovation, IWS helps brands optimize their operations and expand into new markets confidently.

克里姆林宫称特朗普将“近日”会晤普京 Latest News

克里姆林宫称特朗普将“近日”会晤普京

(SeaPRwire) - 克里姆林宫高级助手表示,唐纳德·特朗普将与弗拉基米尔·普京会面,这将是多年来美国总统与俄罗斯总统之间的首次面对面会晤。 “应美方提议,双方已原则上同意在未来几天内举行最高级别双边会晤,”周四告诉俄罗斯新闻机构。 特朗普最近曾表示会晤可能很快举行。“我们今天与普京总统进行了非常好的会谈,很有可能我们能结束这一轮——那条路的尽头,”周三晚间在椭圆形办公室表示。 乌沙科夫表示,会晤地点已经确定,具体细节将在晚些时候公布。他没有说明何时会公布这些信息。 但乌沙科夫也淡化了可能包括乌克兰总统泽连斯基在内的三边会晤的可能性,据称这是特朗普特使史蒂夫·维特科夫提出的想法。 维特科夫周三在莫斯科会见了普京,特朗普称之为“富有成效的会晤”。 乌沙科夫说:“我们首先提议专注于准备与特朗普的双边会晤,我们认为这次会晤取得成功并富有成效最为重要。” 此前,特朗普总统设定了俄罗斯同意与乌克兰停火协议的最后期限,否则将面临惩罚性制裁。目前尚不清楚特朗普的停火期限是否仍然有效。 7月14日,特朗普被问及如果普京不顾其停火期限(该期限最初定于9月2日,后提前至周五)而升级袭击,他愿意在多大程度上捍卫乌克兰。 他说:“我想解决这场战争……我有一个问题,[副总统] J.D. [万斯]也有一个问题——死的不是美国人,但有很多人在死亡,而且是在本应解决的问题上。” 特朗普此前因其对普京的态度而受到批评,西方官员指责普京在谈判中拖延时间,以允许俄罗斯军队占领更多乌克兰领土。 普京一直以来很少表示愿意做出让步。 周四,俄罗斯在扎波罗热和顿涅茨克地区发动夜间袭击,导致乌克兰各地至少6人死亡,另有35人受伤。 据地区消息,这些袭击是过去24小时内扎波罗热州12个定居点遭受的723次袭击的一部分。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

礼来公司称其新型减肥药非常有效 Latest News

礼来公司称其新型减肥药非常有效

(SeaPRwire) - 在一个备受期待的新研究结果中,制药公司 Eli Lilly 报告称,其科学家开发的一种药物能让超重或肥胖但非糖尿病患者显著减轻体重。 这种名为 orforglipron 的药物与 Lilly 的注射药物 tirzepatide 不同(tirzepatide 已被批准为 Mounjaro 用于治疗 和作为 Zepbound 用于治疗 和某些形式的 )。虽然 tirzepatide 针对两种激素 GLP-1 和 GIP,但 orforglipron 只针对 GLP-1。由于每周注射对患者来说并不总是具有吸引力,Lilly 和其他生产类似药物的公司一直在竞相开发口服减肥药。 该试验包括3100多名超重或肥胖、有肥胖相关健康问题但无糖尿病的成年人。每天服用该药近一年半的受试者平均减掉了12%的体重,即27磅。服用安慰剂的受试者仅减掉了两磅多。这些发现尚未在同行评审期刊上发表,但将于9月在欧洲糖尿病研究协会年会上公布。 根据这些结果,Lilly 表示计划在今年年底前向美国食品药品监督管理局(U.S. Food and Drug Administration)提交 orforglipron 治疗肥胖症的批准申请。Lilly 表示,如果获得批准,他们将在明年提供这种药物。该公司正在等待一项针对糖尿病患者减肥的类似研究的最终结果;4月发布的结果表明,该药物有助于糖尿病患者降低血糖。 “我们获得的结果与口服小分子 GLP-1 所能达到的最佳效果一样好,”Lilly 首席科学官 Dan Skovronsky 博士说。“安全性、耐受性和有效性都与我们通过注射药物所达到的效果一致,但现在以易于使用的每日一次药丸形式提供。” Skovronsky 指出,在服用该药物的研究对象中,心脏病风险因素,例如、甘油三酯、血压以及炎症指标也下降了。这支持了早期数据,即 GLP-1 药物也能降低心脏病风险。 与注射形式一样,服用药片的人必须在达到最大剂量之前逐渐增加剂量,主要是为了最大程度地减少胃肠道不适的副作用。在该研究中,受试者最初服用6毫克,四周后增加到12毫克,再四周后增加到36毫克的维持剂量。 Skovronsky 表示,orforglipron 的副作用表现与注射药物相似,这令人欣慰。“我有两件事很担心,”他说。“第一,当你口服药物时,胃和肠道会暴露在更高浓度的药物中。如果副作用是由此引起的,那么[口服]形式可能会使它们更糟。但事实并非如此。” 也不清楚如果研究中的人们漏服了剂量会发生什么,因为每天服药有时很有挑战性。Skovronsky 说,由于剂量是谨慎地逐步增加的,因此不确定漏服几天药物的人是否会失去对副作用建立的耐受性,并不得不重新开始他们的用药计划。“我们发现,即使人们偶尔漏服剂量,副作用也与注射剂相似,”他说。 Novo Nordisk 是一家生产用于治疗糖尿病的 Ozempic 和用于体重管理的 Wegovy 的竞争对手,它也有其活性成分 semaglutide 的口服形式,该形式已 。该公司已 申请批准用于治疗非糖尿病患者的肥胖症,并预计将在今年年底前做出决定。 如果 orforglipron 获得批准,它可能会增加 GLP-1 药物在美国和全球的获取途径。这种口服药物比注射剂便宜,因为它不需要无菌注射笔。有些人也不愿每周自行注射,因此口服药物将是一个受欢迎的选择。 随着越来越多的医生和患者找出使用 GLP-1 药物管理体重的最佳方法,药片可以启动减肥进程,或者成为达到减肥目标的人的长期维持计划的一部分。“这使我们能够更早地介入疾病进程,因为人们有时会等到疾病——在这种情况下是肥胖症——更严重时才进行注射,”Skovronsky 说。“我们希望在肥胖症的早期阶段进行治疗,这提供了一个很好的机会。” Skovronsky 表示 Lilly 也在研究 orforglipron 的体重维持方法。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

道琼斯市场更新与分析

(SeaPRwire) - 道琼斯工业平均指数 (DJIA) 今天经历了显著的波动,原因是投资者对一系列经济指标和企业盈利报告做出了反应。值得注意的是,Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:CMG) 的股价在强劲的盈利报告发布后上涨,该报告超出了市场预期。该公司强调了其稳健的同店销售增长以及在数字订购方面的持续扩张,这为其积极表现做出了贡献。 相比之下,人们对美国联邦储备委员会潜在的加息的担忧给整个市场带来了压力。投资者正在密切关注美联储即将做出的决定,因为任何加息都可能影响借贷成本和消费者支出。此外,地缘政治紧张局势加剧了市场的不确定性,促使一些投资者寻求避险资产。 科技股也面临压力,几家主要公司股价下跌。市场分析师认为,这可能是近期上涨后获利回吐的结果。然而,一些科技公司继续表现出韧性,这得益于对其产品和服务的强劲需求。 展望未来,市场参与者正在焦急地等待进一步的经济数据发布,包括就业数据和通货膨胀指标,这些数据可以为美联储的政策方向提供更多见解。与往常一样,建议投资者保持多元化的投资组合,以减轻与市场波动相关的潜在风险。 总体而言,道琼斯指数的表现反映了包括企业盈利、经济指标和地缘政治发展等多种因素的复杂相互作用。随着市场继续应对这些挑战,投资者保持警惕和适应性,在不确定性中寻找机会。 脚注: 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 Chipotle 在数字订购方面的扩张极大地促进了其收入增长。 . ```

AMC股票在8月11日投票后会上涨吗? Finance

AMC股票在8月11日投票后会上涨吗?

(SeaPRwire) - AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC) 是电影院行业的旗舰企业,正处于其业务发展轨迹中可能具有变革意义的阶段。即将于 8 月 11 日举行的股东投票将是该公司及其利益相关者的关键时刻。投资者和分析师都在密切关注这一事件的进展,因为其结果可能会显着影响 AMC 的股票动态。 此次投票主要围绕公司将 APE 单位转换为普通股的提案。此举旨在简化 AMC 的资本结构,从长远来看,有可能提高股东价值。管理层认为,这种整合可以为公司提供更大的财务灵活性,以应对不断变化的娱乐格局。然而,这项提案并非没有争议,并且受到了股东和市场分析师的褒贬不一的评价。 投资者最关心的问题之一是潜在的股份稀释。将 APE 单位转换为普通股可能会增加流通股的总数,这可能会稀释现有股份的价值。此外,市场一直充斥着关于这种转换对 AMC 股价影响的猜测。虽然一些投资者担心短期波动,但另一些投资者对精简资本结构的长期利益持乐观态度。 AMC 的管理层一直在积极沟通这一举措背后的基本原理,强调统一股权基础的战略优势。该公司强调,整合可以带来成本节约、提高运营效率和更强大的资产负债表。反过来,这些因素可以更好地定位 AMC,以利用娱乐行业的未来机会,尤其是在它继续从疫情的影响中恢复过来之际。 此外,投票结果还可能影响 AMC 未来筹集资金的能力。通过整合其股权,AMC 可以更有效地进入资本市场,为战略举措和增长项目获得资金。这一点尤为重要,因为该公司旨在使其收入来源多样化,并扩大其在数字领域的足迹,包括进军内容创作和流媒体服务。 随着投票日期的临近,市场分析师正在权衡 AMC 股票的潜在影响。虽然投票结束后可能会带来股价波动,但许多专家认为,如果整合能够带来增强的财务稳定性和增长前景,那么长期前景仍然是积极的。 总之,8 月 11 日的股东投票代表着 AMC Entertainment 的一个关键时刻。将 APE 单位转换为普通股的决定是一项战略举措,可能会重塑公司的财务状况并影响其股票表现。建议投资者密切关注事态发展,并考虑这一关键事件的短期和长期影响。 Footnotes: 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 在股东投票前,投资者密切关注 AMC 的股票动态。 . ```
