Modern Dental Group Announces 2026 First Quarter Operational Update ACN Newswire

Modern Dental Group Announces 2026 First Quarter Operational Update

HONG KONG, May 29, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Modern Dental Group Limited ("Modern Dental" or "the Group", stock code: 03600.HK), a leading global dental prosthetic devices provider, announced its operational data for the three months ended 31 March 2026.During the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s multi-dimensional strategies as supported by the ongoing trend of digitalization in the dental industry have resulted in the Group reporting record revenue during this period. This occurred in a period of challenging macro-economic environment with general softness in demand for dental procedures, trade war and geopolitical uncertainties. The Group has been proactive in its approach to deal with the unprecedented international trade environment leveraging its international production facilities located in Thailand, Vietnam and Mainland China.Global RevenueFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total revenue of the Group increased by approximately 12.1% (approx. HK$987.5 million) compared with the three months ended 31 March 2025.^ The decrease in revenue in original currency of the North America market (ex-MicroDental) was approximately 2.3% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of MicroDental was approximately 14.6%.# The increase in revenue in original currency of the Mainland China market was approximately 1.5% and the decrease in revenue in original currency of Hong Kong market was approximately 3.7%.++ The percentage change in Others represented changes in value of Hong Kong Dollars as Others included revenue dominated in different currencies.* The revenue information above is based on the locations of the customers.** The conversion rate shall not be taken as a representation that respective original currency could actually be converted into HK$ at that rate, or at all.The increase in revenue in Europe was primarily driven by higher sales order volumes, supported by the successful launch of new products such as digital dentures and the rollout of our state-of-the-art digital workflows. As a frontrunner in providing comprehensive digital solutions — ranging from minimally invasive and aesthetic prosthetic solutions to intra-oral scanners and clear aligners — the Group is well positioned to capitalize on the accelerated digitalization trend within the dental industry.Revenue from MicroDental, our North American domestic dental laboratory business, declined due to the softer US economy, which led to reduced patient demand for high-value discretionary dental treatments, particularly implants. The Group’s revenue in the Mainland China market recorded 1.5% increase in original currency terms during the first quarter of 2026, representing a turnaround from the decline of 4.2% in 2025. The decrease in revenue in the Hong Kong market also narrowed to 3.7%, as compared to the decline of 11.5% in 2025.The Mainland China market appears to have reached the bottom of the impact from the volume-based procurement policies and a prolonged period of intense price competition. This has also led to aggressive promotions for dental implant treatments by Mainland China dental clinics in Hong Kong, which experienced a notable decrease in patient visits. The Hong Kong market is gradually moving towards stabilization in line with this trend. The Group has deliberately pivoted away from low-margin segments and remains focused on serving mid- and high-value customers, thereby ensuring the long-term sustainable profitability of the Group’s business.The increase in revenue from Australia reflected a strong uptake of digital products driven by the digitalization trend in dental industry and anti-snoring products.The increase in revenue in Others mainly represented the increase in revenue in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia.Notably, positive revenue growths were achieved in higher-margin regions such as Europe and Australia, whereas revenue declined in the relatively lower-margin business of MicroDental. This favorable geographical mix shift and the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars are expected to improve the Group’s overall margin percentage.Sales Volumes (Number of Cases)For the three months ended 31 March 2026, the total sales volumes of the Group increased by approximately 4.0% to approximately 720,000 cases (three months ended 31 March 2025: approximately 692,000 cases).Digital Solution CasesFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the Group’s digital solution cases (overseas and domestic) that are produced from its Mainland China, Thailand and Vietnam production facilities (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include digital solution cases produced in the Group’s non-Mainland China, non-Thailand and non-Vietnam production facilities or overseas/satellite dental laboratories) increased to approximately 294,712 cases reflecting an increase of 24.6% for the same period in 2025 (approximately 236,488 cases) as a result of our clients’ increased adoption of intra-oral scanners.Average Selling PriceFor the three months ended 31 March 2026, the average selling price of the Group’s dental prosthetic products across its markets was HK$1,273 per case (three months ended 31 March 2025: HK$1,188), representing an increase of approximately 7.2% mainly due to the appreciation of foreign currencies against Hong Kong Dollars.Looking forward, the global digitalization trend continues to drive consolidation within the dental prosthetics industry, enabling the Group to further expand its market share. Our ongoing digital transformation initiatives are enhancing both customer and patientexperiences while improving operational efficiency, further differentiating the Group from competitors and positioning us to outperform industry peers. The Group’s underlying fundamentals remain solid, and we are well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities going forward.About Modern Dental GroupModern Dental Group Limited (Stock code: 03600.HK) is a leading global dental prosthetics provider, distributor and consultant with a focus on providing custom-made prostheses to customers in the growing prosthetics industry.

人工智能搜索工程师推出人工智能可见性审计,以确定企业未能在人工智能搜索结果中出现的原因 Business

人工智能搜索工程师推出人工智能可见性审计,以确定企业未能在人工智能搜索结果中出现的原因

(SeaPRwire) - 纽约州阿默斯特 – 2026年5月29日 – (SeaPRwire) – 随着AI生成的答案日益取代传统搜索行为,许多专业服务公司发现,强大的SEO表现已不再能保证其在ChatGPT、Google Gemini、Microsoft Copilot、Perplexity和Grok等平台上的可见性。为应对这一变化,AI Search Engineers宣布推出其AI Visibility Audit(AI可见性审计)服务,这是一项结构化分析服务,旨在识别阻碍企业被AI系统选中的权威差距。 据该公司称,这项新审计服务是在分析了与50多家难以在AI生成的响应中持续出现的专业服务机构的合作案例后开发的。虽然许多企业意识到自己缺乏AI可见性,但AI Search Engineers表示,大多数企业并不完全了解缺失了哪些潜在的权威信号、哪些问题导致AI系统产生歧义,或者哪些纠正措施应优先实施。 AI Visibility Audit评估影响AI系统在生成答案时如何解读、信任和推荐企业的六个核心维度。 第一个维度关注实体识别状态。审计会检查企业在ChatGPT、Google Gemini、Microsoft Copilot和Perplexity等主要AI平台上的识别方式,同时记录实体定义中的不一致之处,这些不一致可能会降低企业在AI生成响应中的被选中概率。 第二个维度分析结构化数据的完整性和部署准确性。这包括评估企业数字存在中的Organization schema(组织架构)、FAQ schema(常见问题架构)、Review schema(评论架构)以及特定服务的结构化数据实施情况。审计会识别缺失或配置错误的架构元素,这些元素可能会限制AI系统可靠解读企业信息的能力。 第三个维度以可信的第三方引用为核心。审计会盘点提及该企业的可信外部参考资料,并评估这些引用的质量、权威性和相关性。它还会识别AI系统在确定推荐可信度时经常依赖的缺失的出版物、目录和佐证来源。 第四个维度评估跨平台的品牌信号一致性。AI Search Engineers表示,涉及公司名称、服务描述、类别或地理信息的不一致会给AI实体模型带来不确定性,从而削弱可见性结果。审计会在影响AI生成答案的所有主要平台和数据源中交叉检查这些信号。 第五个维度考察主题权威深度。审计的这一部分会审查企业内容的特异性、深度和以答案为导向的结构,以确定AI系统是否将该企业与潜在客户正在积极搜索的主题和查询的专业知识相关联。 第六个维度涉及在ChatGPT、Google Gemini、Microsoft Copilot、Perplexity和Grok等领先AI平台上进行受控提示测试。该过程模拟真实用户查询,以记录AI系统当前的响应方式、出现的竞争对手以及被审计企业的呈现或遗漏情况。 AI Visibility Audit不生成专注于排名或流量的传统SEO报告,而是提供专为AI搜索环境设计的优先级权威差距分析。该公司表示,企业会收到一份结构化路线图,概述存在、不一致或缺失的权威信号,以及旨在尽可能高效地提高AI选中概率的有序行动计划。 该框架还根据建议措施对AI可见性的预期影响确定优先级,使企业能够确定应首先实施哪些修复措施,以及根据其个人权威档案,可衡量的AI搜索改进预计需要多长时间。 AI Search Engineers指出,这项服务面向三类专业服务公司:在AI生成答案中没有可见性的企业、AI可见性不一致或部分可见的公司,以及已投资于AI搜索优化但未取得可衡量结果的组织。 该公司补充说,审计框架直接与AEO Differentiation Standard(AEO差异化标准)保持一致,这是一个基于方法论、验证结果和多平台AI性能评估AI搜索机构的分类系统。每个审计维度都对应于该标准确定的权威信号,包括实体清晰度、第三方佐证、结构化数据质量、主题权威和记录的AI可见性结果。 据AI Search Engineers称,这种一致性使企业不仅能够识别现有的权威差距,还能理解这些差距与在多个AI生态系统中实现更广泛的Tier 1 AI搜索可见性标准之间的关系。 AI Search Engineers自称是美国唯一一家符合AEO Differentiation Standard所有Tier 1要求的AEO Verified机构。该公司专注于Answer Engine Optimization(AEO,答案引擎优化),帮助专业服务企业提高在AI驱动的答案平台上的认可度和被选中率。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。

Radisson Announces Closing of Bought Deal Financing for $25 Million ACN Newswire

Radisson Announces Closing of Bought Deal Financing for $25 Million

Toronto, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - May 28, 2026) - Radisson Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: RDS) (OTCQX: RMRDF) ("Radisson" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced "bought deal" private placement pursuant to which the Company issued a total of 18,115,797 Class A common shares of the Company that each qualify as "flow-through shares" (within the meaning of subsection 66(15) of the Income Tax Act (Canada)) as part of a charity arrangement (the "FT Shares"), at a price of $1.38 per FT Share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $24,999,800 (the "Offering"). The 18,115,797 FT Shares issued under the Offering include 2,174,000 FT Shares issued and sold pursuant to the full exercise of the option granted by the Company to the Underwriters.Matt Manson, President and CEO: "We are very grateful for the strong support demonstrated for this financing from existing and new shareholders. In October 2025, we expanded our successful deep, step-out drill program at the O'Brien Gold Project to what will be an eventual 140,000 metres with up to eight drill rigs. The drill program is ongoing, and in March of this year we demonstrated its value with an interim, and meaningful, increase in the estimate of the Project's mineral resources. With this financing completed, we can now (i) plan the expansion and extension of our drilling through to the end of 2027, (ii) manage our capital resources more efficiently with our "flow-through" eligible exploration expenditures, and (iii) establish a strong treasury to support project development activities and project de-risking. In particular, our step-out drilling ambition is to go deeper. Until now, our exploration horizon has been to a floor of 2 kilometers depth. Results to date indicate extensive gold mineralization with good continuity beneath the former mine and the current mineral resources to at least 1.9 kilometers depth (see Radisson news release dated April 30, 2026). Given the character of neighboring gold deposits and the wealth of mining infrastructure within or close to the O'Brien Gold Project, we now intend to extend our exploration to a depth of 2.5 kilometers with new deep drilling and directional wedging. We believe that O'Brien gold mineralization has the potential to extend to at least these depths, that such mineralization offers the potential for significant new mineral resources in excess of our current exploration target, and that these mineral resources might be reasonably expected to be developed." The Company will use an amount equal to the gross proceeds from the sale of the FT Shares, pursuant to the provisions in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the "Tax Act"), to incur eligible "Canadian exploration expenses" that qualify as "flow-through mining expenditures" (as both terms are defined in the Tax Act) (the "Qualifying Expenditures") in connection with the exploration of the O'Brien Gold Project, including deep drilling beyond the scope of the current program, on or before December 31, 2027. The Company will renounce all such Qualifying Expenditures in favour of the subscribers of the FT Shares effective December 31, 2026. In the event the Company is unable to renounce Qualifying Expenditures effective on or prior to December 31, 2026 for each FT Share purchased in an aggregate amount not less than the gross proceeds raised from the issue of the FT Shares, the Company will indemnify each FT Share subscriber, as applicable, for the additional taxes payable by such subscriber as a result of the Company's failure to renounce the Qualifying Expenditures as agreed.The Offering was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated May 28, 2026 between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters led by ATB Cormark Capital Markets (collectively, the "Underwriters").

科学家揭示:蚊子能够学会喜爱驱蚊剂 Latest News

科学家揭示:蚊子能够学会喜爱驱蚊剂

—Dietmar Heinz—Picture Press/Redux(SeaPRwire) - 没有人想给蚊子任何好处。据估计,全球有大约110万亿只这种常常致命的害虫,其中许多传播着包括疟疾、登革热、西尼罗河病毒、基孔肯雅热、黄热病和寨卡病毒在内的疾病。但根据《实验生物学杂志》的一项新研究,我们实际上可能正在训练蚊子来叮咬我们,这要归功于我们喷洒DEET时散发出的那种“来这儿”的气味——这种表面上的驱蚊剂,在某些情况下,可能实际上产生了相反的效果。那是在1946年,一位美国农业部的化学家发明了DEET——N,N-二乙基-间-甲苯酰胺的简称——这种抗蚊配方很快被军方采用,用于丛林和其他热带环境。人们认为这种化学物质通过多种方式起作用——干扰蚊子的气味探测器,使其无法识别人类或动物目标;赋予蚊子通过脚部能检测到的苦味;或者模仿天然驱蚊植物的气味。无论其工作原理如何,它都能让虫子远离——直到它失效为止。由弗吉尼亚理工大学生物化学系副教授克莱门特·维诺格等人组成的研究团队发现,问题在于,尽管蚊子是简单的生物,但它们足够聪明,能够学习。当人类刚涂抹DEET时,它能在短时间内驱赶蚊子。然而,当气味开始减弱但并未完全消失时,蚊子会恢复叮咬,并开始将这种化学物质的存在与美味的血餐联系起来。这实际上会吸引它们飞向一些涂抹了DEET的人。“蚊子非常聪明,能够智胜我们的控制工具,”维诺格说。“DEET是一种可以被蚊子大脑解读的分子,蚊子可以学会喜欢它。” —Aldona—Getty Images在研究过程中,维诺格和他的同事让少量蚊子群体接受了各种喂食试验,试验安排在清晨和傍晚——这是蚊子寻找血餐的高峰时段。在第一次试验中,蚊子被关在一个玻璃管内,另一侧是一层细网,网后是一个装有血液的容器,血液被加热到98.6华氏度的体温。在允许蚊子通过网吸食血液后,研究人员让它们接触DEET的气味——这并未阻止它们的进食行为。随后,血液和DEET的气味被移除,蚊子最终离开了网。接着,重新引入DEET的气味,但没有提供血液。尽管如此,即使没有血液奖励,超过60%的昆虫还是回到了网边,期待着一顿美餐。“通过训练它们,我们能够证明它们可以赋予事物价值,”维诺格说。“它们实际上可以将那种天生是令其厌恶的武器的分子,变成对它们有吸引力的东西。”在研究的第二阶段,研究人员向两组蚊子展示了两只人手——其中一只喷了DEET,另一只没有。那些被训练得认为DEET有吸引力的蚊子攻击了双手。而那些没有经过训练的蚊子则只被没有DEET的手吸引。为了证实他们的发现,研究人员重复了实验,但这次用糖——蚊子的另一种食物——代替了血液。结果再次表明,如果糖餐预先用DEET处理过,昆虫会避开它,除非它们首先被训练得将这种化学物质与食物联系起来,在这种情况下,DEET的存在就相当于敲响了开饭铃。所有这些并不意味着DEET不再是一种有用的驱蚊剂——事实上,它可能非常有效。然而,这确实提示了它应该有不同的使用方式。维诺格建议,与其一次性涂抹大量化学物质并期望它持续一整天,不如按照DEET瓶身上说明指示的推荐量涂抹,并在一天中重复涂抹,以防止皮肤上的浓度下降到气味不再令蚊子厌恶的水平。“关键在于涂抹的频率,你需要多久重新涂抹一次在皮肤上,”他说。当然,驱蚊不止DEET这一种方法。维诺格推荐了常规策略:安装维护良好的纱窗,以及在疟疾常见的世界部分地区使用蚊帐。清除花盆、戏水池等容器中的积水可以减少蚊子产卵。辛烯醇是一种模仿人类呼吸和汗液的化学物质,可用于将蚊子引诱到电子灭虫器上。而穿着长袖长裤这种简单的权宜之计,可以限制身体暴露在任何叮咬昆虫面前的部分。尽管如此,如果这项新研究说明了什么,那就是我们几乎要像害怕蚊子叮咬一样,害怕蚊子的心智。“蚊子的适应性非常强,”维诺格说,“我们越是观察它们,它们就显得越聪明。”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。

Resilient Demand Drives Hong Kong Exports Amid Headwinds ACN Newswire

Resilient Demand Drives Hong Kong Exports Amid Headwinds

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hong Kong’s merchandise exports rose by 42.9% year-on-year to HK$620.9 billion in April 2026, according to data released today by the Census and Statistics Department. For the first four months of 2026, total exports of goods reached HK$2,166.4 billion, representing robust growth of 35% compared with the same period last year.Bruce Pang, Director of Research at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) said: “The strong export performance, in line with HKTDC’s earlier assessment, underscores the resilience of external demand, despite ongoing geopolitical uncertainties.”“The recent surge in Hong Kong’s exports has been driven primarily by the global AI-led application upcycle and strong demand for ICT (Information and Communications Technology) equipment, reinforced by supply chain reconfiguration in Asia and, to some extent, higher unit prices amid rising costs. Hong Kong’s export sales are therefore expected to remain solid in the near term, supported by sustained demand for technology-related products.”As a key re-export hub for electronic components and intermediate goods, Hong Kong is well positioned to benefit from this ongoing AI-driven technology upcycle. Robust demand for chips, AI-enabled products and ICT equipment across global major markets – including the Chinese Mainland, ASEAN production bases and mature markets, such as the US – continues to underpin regional trade flows, supporting Hong Kong’s external trade performance.[For further information about the export prospects of the electronics sector, please refer to: AI Surge Bolsters Electronics Industry from Geopolitical Headwinds | HKTDC Research]At the same time, elevated oil prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions, together with rising semiconductor costs, have contributed to higher trade values of related products, thereby supporting export growth in value terms. While this largely reflects price effects rather than volume expansion, it is likely to continue underpinning headline trade figures in the near term.In addition, the improved trade environment following the China-US leaders’ meeting in May is expected to support business sentiment by reducing uncertainties. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong’s export performance is likely to maintain solid growth momentum for the rest of the year, underpinned by its role as a critical node in regional and global supply chains.Nonetheless, trade prospects remain subject to geopolitical developments, particularly in the Middle East, as well as the trajectory of energy prices, both of which could affect trade flows and end-market demand.HKTDC Media Room: https://mediaroom.hktdc.com/enMedia enquiriesPlease contact the HKTDC’s Communications & Public Affairs Department:Jane CheungTel: (852) 2584 4137Email: jane.mh.cheung@hktdc.orgAbout HKTDCThe Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

We believe that greater transparency and stronger value recognition will lead to more efficient market functioning and improved capital allocation. The event will feature meaningful exchanges, and we encourage listed companies to maintain consistent, long-term engagement with investors, while investment institutions uphold professionalism and disciplined, research-driven decision-making. Ultimately, prioritising mutual understanding and trust is essential to achieving genuine value connection.”Professor KC Chan, GBS SBS JP, Chairman of CHKLC, also commented, “Through Investor Day 2026, we seek to establish a dedicated platform for high-quality small and mid-cap companies to clearly articulate their investment propositions to the investment community, enhance market visibility, and unlock shareholder value. As a market-oriented institution, the Chamber is committed to enhancing overall market quality and safeguarding the interests of listed companies.

他们在三天内削弱了他的选区。他仍在竞选

(SeaPRwire) - 贾斯汀·皮尔森(Justin Pearson)花了数月时间竞选,希望代表孟菲斯地区的国会选区。然而,田纳西州的共和党人仅用三天就将该选区撤销了。5月7日,州长比尔·李(Bill Lee)在特别会议上通过并签署成为法律的新地图,将该州唯一的以黑人为主的选区分割为三个区域,并将它们并入相邻的倾向共和党的选区。根据无党派组织库克政治报告(Cook Political Report)的分析,这一举措将第9选区从一个稳固的民主党席位转变为共和党据点,共和党估计拥有9个百分点的优势。对皮尔森来说,这一信号再明确不过:在选民投票前数月,一个长期在孟菲斯掌握政治权力的社区就被剥夺了自身的代表权。皮尔森在孟菲斯接受《时代》(TIME)电话采访时表示:“看到我一直竞选要代表的社区被如此剧烈且重大地改变,试图为美国总统窃取选举,这是一种非常直观且痛苦的经历。”这位10月启动竞选的民主党州众议员表示,他对田纳西州议员在特朗普总统与李州长就中期选举前夺取更多国会共和党席位交谈几天后就着手重划国会选区并不感到意外,但他对这一过程的速度感到震惊。该地图在田纳西州初选前三个月生效,成为最高法院削弱《投票权法案》(Voting Rights Act)裁决后首个通过选区操纵绘制的地图。皮尔森称,作为州众议员,他直到特别会议的倒数第二天才得以了解这些变化对他所谋求的席位会产生何种影响。但反抗一直是皮尔森的标志。2023年,纳什维尔发生致命校园枪击事件后,皮尔森和同事、州众议员贾斯汀·琼斯(Justin Jones)因在州议会大厦内领导抗议活动要求枪支改革而被逐出立法机构。由于他们的驱逐被广泛批评为反民主的越权行为,两人随后被一致恢复职务。他说:“我来自一个不轻易放弃的家庭。这个社区培养我,不是让我成为一个半途而废的人。我们是斗士——为正义、平等、公平、民主以及每个人所需和应得的一切而战。”州议会宣布新通过的国会地图后不久,皮尔森加入了数百名民权领袖、议员和选民的行列,抗议选区操纵行为。不久之后,他被剥夺了所有委员会职务。田纳西州的共和党人坚称,在最高法院裁决后,取消该州最后一个民主党选区的举措是合理的。田纳西州参议员玛莎·布莱克本(Marsha Blackburn)正在竞选该州州长,她于4月底在X平台上提出了一个9比0的地图方案,称保持田纳西州的“红色”(共和党占优)对于巩固特朗普的议程至关重要。布莱克本参议员在一篇解释其提案的专栏文章中写道:“法院支持马丁·路德·金(Martin Luther King, Jr.)关于无肤色歧视社会的愿景,称种族偏好不应出现在我们的选举中,就像它不应出现在大学录取中一样。”皮尔森的竞选活动是在11月选举前全国政治格局迅速变化的背景下展开的。自2025年以来,已有8个州修改了国会地图,阿拉巴马州和路易斯安那州也已着手重划。根据弗吉尼亚大学政治中心(Center for Politics at the University of Virginia)的最新无党派分析,共和党可能从新绘制的地图中获得多达10个额外席位。对皮尔森而言,重划选区的速度反映出种族主义在美国(尤其是南部地区)剥夺黑人选民权利的速度之快。他补充道:“这并没有阻止我们正在做的事情。即使在他们分裂并试图压制我们声音的选区,这也没有阻止我们去做我们认为必要且可能的事情。”距离初选仅剩不到90天,皮尔森现在正在一个新重划的选区参选,该选区从孟菲斯大都市区延伸至田纳西州的农村地区。该地图也面临持续的法律挑战。周三,一名联邦法官拒绝了由美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)代表的一群黑人选民提出的在初选前阻止该地图生效的请求。选民们预计将对这一决定提出上诉,这增加了更多不确定性。皮尔森说:“甚至有共和党人来找我说,‘他们做的事情不公平,是错误的。他们试图通过作弊获胜,而不是用自己的理念赢得人心。’”他还指出,在特别会议期间,共和党人废除了一项要求选民在选区变更时通过邮件收到通知的法律,导致他在竞选活动中遇到的许多选民都不知道自己现在处于重划后的选区。他解释道:“这是一个非常混乱且不透明的过程。很多人知道正在发生一些事情,但真正了解其对自身影响的人太少了。”皮尔森持续获得全国进步派议员的支持,他呼吁全国机构加大对南部地区的政治投入。他说:“有些人在加利福尼亚州竞选国会议员的成本,相当于在密西西比州或田纳西州开展一场强有力州长竞选的成本。我们尚未看到南部地区得到应有的重视。”这种动态也在南部地区内部显现,民主党候选人在重划选区的斗争中发现自己相互竞争。皮尔森的对手是州参议员伦敦·拉马尔(London Lamar),后者得到了即将退休的众议员史蒂夫·科恩(Steve Cohen)的支持。尽管如此,皮尔森和他的团队表示,他们正在回归竞选的基本要素:敲门拜访、举办社区活动、张贴 yard signs( yard signs 指庭院标语牌,此处保留英文更符合语境),并向选民讲述他们选区发生的事情。他表示,无论地图新旧,他都对赢得选区充满信心,因为选民面临的问题并没有因共和党重塑政治版图而消失。他说:“他们不在乎我们的社区以及社区发声的能力——这本身就是一种悲哀和悲剧。但这也点燃了我们社区中久违的力量和对正义的渴望。”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。

2026年3月30日,阿曼马斯喀特,油轮和高速艇停泊在霍尔木兹海峡附近的马斯喀特锚地。—Elke Scholiers—Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普向美国长期的合作伙伴阿曼发出了严厉警告,原因是据报道阿曼与伊朗就霍尔木兹海峡通行收费问题进行谈判。周三,特朗普驳斥了伊朗官方媒体的一篇报道,该报道称阿曼和伊朗正在讨论共同管理这条水道的航运。伊朗在2月28日美国和以色列发动战争后,对这条水道进行了军事化作为报复。霍尔木兹海峡的控制权一直是美伊两国为结束这场为期三个月的战争而进行谈判的关键症结所在,该海峡部分水域流经阿曼和伊朗的领海。海峡的实际关闭导致能源价格飙升,并扰乱了全球其他几种商品的贸易。美国的尝试,包括对伊朗港口的海上封锁,迄今尚未完全恢复通过该海峡的商业航运。"海峡将对所有人开放,"特朗普在白宫对记者说。"这是国际水域,阿曼必须像其他国家一样行事,否则我们将不得不炸毁他们。他们明白这一点,他们会没事的。"阿曼作为美国超过50年的战略伙伴,在调解美伊和平协议的努力中发挥了关键作用。在此前的战争中,伊朗还通过打击阿曼和其他驻有美军基地的海湾国家,来报复美国和以色列的袭击。有人猜测特朗普是口误,本意是指伊朗。特朗普早些时候对媒体发表评论时似乎也出现了口误,称美国在一月份突袭的委内瑞拉"不再拥有海军,不再拥有空军,也不再拥有许多领导这个国家的人"。总统似乎指的是伊朗,而不是委内瑞拉。TIME已联系白宫寻求评论。特朗普发表此番言论之际,美伊两国刚刚进行了新的攻击,危及即将达成的和平协议的前景。特朗普周三表示,他愿意"比伊朗更有耐心",并驳斥了即将到来的中期选举可能促使他更快接受协议的说法。"特朗普正试图证明他对伊朗并不'软弱',以安抚批评者,但这种不可预测性使谈判陷入危险,尤其是考虑到伊朗谈判代表对美国谈判进程的信任度极低,"格罗宁根大学国际关系助理教授威廉·菲格罗亚告诉TIME。新的攻击一位美国官员周三告诉路透社,美军对伊朗阿巴斯港的一处军事地点进行了夜间打击。该官员称,美军击落了四架威胁霍尔木兹海峡的伊朗攻击无人机,而该设施(一个地面控制站)正准备发射第五架无人机。该官员将这些打击描述为"纯粹是防御性的,旨在维持停火"。作为报复,伊朗半官方的塔斯尼姆通讯社援引伊斯兰革命卫队的声明称,伊朗部队在周四凌晨袭击了一个美国空军基地。伊斯兰革命卫队没有具体说明击中了哪个基地。塔斯尼姆通讯社还报道称,伊斯兰革命卫队海军向一艘"试图通过关闭雷达系统穿越霍尔木兹海峡"的美国油轮开火。新的攻击发生之际,美国和伊朗正在就更明确地结束战争进行谈判。自双方于4月8日同意停火以来,达成协议的进展一直起伏不定,双方继续发生低级别敌对行动并发出新的威胁。协议分歧特朗普政府官员一再表示协议已接近达成,伊朗外交部发言人埃斯梅尔·巴盖伊周一表示,美国和伊朗"已在讨论的大部分问题上得出结论"。但几个症结问题仍然存在,而且似乎双方都不想在战争结束后显得是更大的输家。周一,特朗普表示,他"强制要求"几个阿拉伯和穆斯林国家签署《亚伯拉罕协议》,与以色列建立外交关系,作为与伊朗任何协议的一部分。分析人士表示,此举似乎既是为了将任何与伊朗的协议转化为特朗普更大的外交胜利,也是为了阻止以色列重新攻击伊朗,以免破坏任何潜在的和平协议。然而,分析人士称,鉴于这些国家反对以色列对加沙的军事轰炸及其对巴勒斯坦主权的反对,许多国家似乎不太可能签署该协议。双方也就潜在协议发出了相互矛盾的信息。伊朗国家电视台本周报道称,其获得了一份非官方的美伊协议草案,其中包括伊朗和阿曼将共同管理霍尔木兹海峡的交通,并在一个月内将航运恢复到战前水平。据报道,草案还包括解除美国的海上封锁以及美军从伊朗地区撤出。本周早些时候,伊朗消息人士告诉路透社,美国已同意解冻伊朗数十亿美元的资产。特朗普周三驳斥了这两项说法。"我们不是在谈论放松制裁或给钱,"他说。特朗普政府周三对伊朗新成立的、试图控制海峡航运的机构实施了制裁。总统也就尚未达成的协议提出了自己有争议的说法。在周三接受PBS采访时,特朗普表示伊朗"将放弃其高浓缩铀"。以色列一再坚持要求伊朗放弃其核计划,特朗普政府也大体上持相同立场,尽管有时会提出更宽松的看法,有报道称谈判代表正在考虑对伊朗的核浓缩活动实施临时暂停。伊朗坚称其核计划仅用于民用目的,一直不愿承诺放弃其浓缩铀库存,而是表示其核计划将在稍后阶段讨论,不作为初始框架协议的一部分。围绕协议的反复拉锯伴随着双方恢复战争的威胁。特朗普周三重申了他的威胁,即如果伊朗不同意美国可接受的条款,他将"完成这项工作"。总统表示,他并不担心美国公众日益增长的战争厌倦情绪,也不担心共和党可能面临的政治后果。伊朗领导人"以为他们会比我更有耐心,"特朗普说。"你知道,'我们会比他更有耐心。他有中期选举要应对。'我不在乎中期选举。"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。

Unitree Robotics IPO Sets the Stage: Shoucheng Holdings’ (00697.HK) Robotics Portfolio Value Comes Into Focus ACN Newswire

Unitree Robotics IPO Sets the Stage: Shoucheng Holdings’ (00697.HK) Robotics Portfolio Value Comes Into Focus

HONG KONG, May 28, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As Unitree Robotics continues to advance its IPO process on the STAR Market, Shoucheng Holdings (00697.HK) has once again attracted market attention for its strategic positioning across the robotics industry chain. Unlike the equity revaluation effect generated by a single project, Unitree Robotics serves more as a benchmark case within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment portfolio. The acceleration of its capitalization process is expected to prompt the market to reassess the breadth and depth of the company’s exposure to embodied intelligence, humanoid robots, and the upstream and downstream segments of the industry chain.Public information shows that Unitree Robotics’ IPO application has been accepted by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and will proceed into the listing review stage. A successful listing would provide a clearer public market benchmark for the equity value attributable to Shoucheng Holdings. Based on an estimated post-issuance valuation of approximately RMB 42.0 billion, the roughly 3.44% equity interest held by Beijing Robotics Industry Development Investment Fund would correspond to a value of about RMB 1.45 billion. From an asset revaluation perspective, Unitree Robotics’ capitalization process is expected to improve the visibility of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment assets and provide positive support for the company’s investment income, net asset revaluation, and earnings upside.From a portfolio perspective, Unitree Robotics is not an isolated case. Public information indicates that Shoucheng Holdings, through industrial funds under its management and consolidated funds, has invested more than RMB 2.0 billion in the broader robotics industry chain, covering more than 20 companies. These include Unitree Robotics, Songyan Power, Galaxea AI, Deep Robotics, Booster Robotics, and Xinghaitu, with deployment spanning robot bodies, embodied intelligence, aerial robots, key components, and application scenarios. This means the company is not merely riding a single flagship investment, but building systematic exposure across the broader robotics industry trend.More importantly, other robotics companies in which Shoucheng Holdings has invested are also accelerating their preparations for listing. On May 18, the Shanghai Stock Exchange showed that the STAR Market IPO application of Hangzhou Deep Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. had been accepted, with proposed fundraising of RMB 2.503 billion. Public reports indicate that Deep Robotics recorded revenue of RMB 337 million and net profit of RMB 28.684 million in 2025, achieving full-year profitability for the first time. At the same time, embodied-intelligence companies such as Xinghaitu have completed shareholding restructuring, which is generally regarded as an important preparatory step for subsequent capitalization. As Unitree Robotics, Deep Robotics, Xinghaitu, and other projects enter the capital-market spotlight one after another, the contours of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment portfolio value are coming into sharper relief.Against this backdrop, Shoucheng Holdings’ valuation logic is shifting from “single-project mapping” to “robotics portfolio revaluation.” As leading projects successively submit applications, obtain acceptance, or complete shareholding restructuring, their revenue scale, R&D investment, product structure, and commercialization capabilities will be disclosed more fully. The market will also find it easier to evaluate Shoucheng Holdings’ industrial investment value from a portfolio perspective. In the Hong Kong equity market, there are not many listed companies that combine robotics industry-chain investment, real-world deployment capabilities, and asset management expertise. This further underscores the rarity of Shoucheng Holdings as an investable platform.Analyst coverage and the company’s ongoing buyback program have further supported the case for valuation re-rating. China International Capital Corporation (CICC) previously maintained its “Outperform” rating on Shoucheng Holdings with a target price of HKD 2.70, indicating a positive institutional view on the company’s asset value and growth potential. The company has also continued to repurchase shares recently, buying back 1.90 million shares on May 22 and carrying out repurchases for several consecutive days. Since the start of the year, it has repurchased approximately 160 million shares in total, amounting to approximately HKD 292 million. Continued repurchases reflect management’s confidence in the company’s intrinsic value while also helping to improve per-share value and market expectations.Overall, Unitree Robotics’ IPO is an important validation point for Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investment strategy, but its significance now extends beyond a single project. As the capitalization process of leading companies such as Unitree Robotics and Deep Robotics advances, and as projects such as Xinghaitu form a pipeline for subsequent opportunities, Shoucheng Holdings’ portfolio-based investment and industrial operating capabilities across the robotics industry chain are expected to become more visible to the market. The company is not making a one-off bet on the robotics theme; rather, it is building a sustained position within a major industry trend. The value embedded in its robotics portfolio is entering an inflection point of accelerated market recognition. Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com. All rights reserved. www.acnnewswire.com

FG Capital Advisors 推出覆盖非洲早期矿业项目的代币化SPV框架

(SeaPRwire) - NEW YORK, NY – 2026年5月28日 – (SeaPRwire) – 随着全球对关键矿产的需求持续增长,能源转型进程不断加快,融资挑战依然是新兴市场早期矿业项目面临的主要障碍。在此背景下,FG Capital Advisors 推出了一项全新的代币化特殊目的载体(SPV)框架,旨在支持撒哈拉以南非洲地区的矿产勘探计划,特别是涉及铜、锂、钴及其他战略性电池金属的项目。 据该公司介绍,该框架旨在协助矿权持有者和项目发起人将早期的勘探资产转化为更具结构化且符合机构审查标准的投资机会。该模式利用特殊目的载体(SPV),旨在提高项目开发初期阶段的治理标准、文档记录规范以及投资者透明度。 FG Capital Advisors 表示,许多处于勘探阶段的矿业资产因技术信息碎片化、所有权记录不明确以及在达到可行性或生产里程碑前难以获得结构化资本,而面临持续的融资障碍。新推出的框架旨在通过企业架构重组和标准化的尽职调查程序来解决这些问题。 该融资模式整合了矿权核实、所有权与利益相关者映射、地质数据准备,以及跨相关司法管辖区的协调法律与监管评估等流程。公司指出,融资结构还可以与勘探里程碑挂钩,以便在项目推进过程中提供分阶段的资本部署。 FG Capital Advisors 创始人 Kenny Kayembe 表示,开发该框架是为了帮助弥合具有潜力的勘探资产与机构投资要求之间的鸿沟。他指出,许多早期项目虽然具备显著的地质潜力,但缺乏专业投资者和金融机构通常要求的报告结构、治理体系和组织化的文档。 公司补充称,勘探融资可以根据投资者所在地、资产构成以及法律或税务考量,通过特定司法管辖区的 SPV 进行架构设计。包括反洗钱(AML)筛查、客户身份识别(KYC)验证、制裁审查以及证券相关要求在内的合规程序,预计将针对每笔交易进行单独评估。 FG Capital Advisors 还与由地质顾问、合规专家和法律顾问组成的专业技术咨询网络合作,以支持项目验证、尽职调查审查以及资本部署前的投资准备工作。 公司强调,矿产勘探仍属于高风险行业,并提醒称,结构化融资或代币化机制并不能消除资源开发项目所固有的地质、运营、监管、流动性或司法管辖区风险。 FG Capital Advisors 是一家企业融资咨询公司,专注于为新兴市场的早期和成长型机会开发资本结构解决方案。其服务包括跨境项目架构设计、SPV 设计以及旨在提高复杂资产支持型企业的治理水平、透明度及机构资本获取能力的融资框架。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。

(SeaPRwire) - 新加坡,2026年5月28日 – (SeaPRwire) – 随着数字资产行业竞争加剧,越来越多的加密交易平台致力于降低支付摩擦。LeveX顺应这一趋势,宣布与Mercuryo达成合作,在其交易平台上直接集成Apple Pay功能,使用户能够通过完全内置的应用内体验购买加密货币。 这项新功能使LeveX用户无需跳转至外部支付网关或第三方页面,即可使用Apple Pay完成加密货币购买。通过将交易流程保留在应用内部,该平台旨在简化活跃交易者的账户入金和开户流程。 据公司介绍,用户现在可以发起购买、通过Apple Pay授权支付,并在短时间内将数字资产接收至其LeveX账户。此次集成旨在消除传统法币入金系统中常见的额外步骤,例如手动输入银行卡信息或跳转至外部验证页面。 LeveX首席执行官兼联合创始人Harvey Liu表示,公司的产品开发战略始终以提升交易者的效率和便捷性为核心。他指出,通过Mercuryo的原生基础设施集成Apple Pay,有助于缩短账户入金与市场参与之间的时间间隔。 Mercuryo的原生Apple Pay解决方案将完整的支付流程直接嵌入合作伙伴平台的界面,为加密货币交易所行业仍广泛使用的跳转式支付模式提供了替代方案。LeveX是该嵌入式解决方案的早期采用者之一。 该功能目前通过LeveX iOS应用提供,并支持与Apple Pay服务兼容的主要法币。 LeveX于2023年10月上线,是一家由交易者开发、面向交易者的社区型加密货币交易所。平台报告显示,其服务用户数已超过40万,提供超过405个交易对,包括BTC和ETH永续合约,最高支持500倍杠杆。 除衍生品交易外,该平台还提供多项功能,例如允许在同一交易对上同时建立独立仓位的“多交易”功能、社交交易信息流、游戏化任务以及交易竞赛。LeveX还保持着CER.live的“A”级安全评级,并声明其在主要数字资产上的储备证明超过100%。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。

为何企业腐败如此普遍 Latest News

为何企业腐败如此普遍

—sesame—Getty Images(SeaPRwire) - 事实是,我们都离看到自己热爱的事物变成厌恶的东西只有一步之遥——一次收购、一次IPO、一次董事会会议。但我们缺乏恰当的词汇来描述它的本质。“使命漂移”听起来像导航错误,“官僚主义”听起来像文书工作。两者都无法捕捉到当珍贵事物被腐蚀得面目全非时那种被背叛的沉重打击。所以我用一个简单、老式的名字来称呼它:腐败。我敢打赌,你在自己的生活和职业生涯中也有过这种感受。也许是你最喜欢的公司砍掉了你钟爱的产品那天,或者是你所在的公司为了“完成季度目标”而取消创新项目的时候,又或者是你眼睁睁看着被请来取代创始人的“职业CEO”把公司搞垮的时候,再或者是领导层变动后,使命变成了网站上的空洞文字的时候。也许你曾疑惑为什么所有人都认为这是不可避免的。也许你也想过,是否有更好的方法。答案是有的。要找到它,我们必须接受一件几乎每个人都凭直觉理解但很少大声说出来的事:并非所有赚钱的方式都是同等正当的。我花了多年时间试图弄清楚谁该为这种危险的状况负责。经理们责怪高管,高管责怪董事会,董事会责怪投资者。然后你和投资者交谈——我已经谈过——他们也表现出沮丧。许多人对这种短期主义感到震惊。但他们责怪高管的贪婪:股票回购、金色降落伞。高管们反驳说,投资者嘴上说想要可持续的长期回报,但他们也希望能随时清算自己的头寸。这就像看着两个人互相指责,每个人都喊着“是你干的!”,而他们站在一座两人都放了火的房子里。似乎没有人负责。这背后的力量——一种无人控制但人人都服从的力量——对你日常生活的影响比你可能意识到的要大得多。它像重力一样无处不在,辐射范围远超公司董事会,解释了各种各样的现象:美国交通建设成本的螺旋式上升、地方新闻业的衰落、社交媒体的恶性影响、医疗错误的持续存在,以及为什么客户服务宁愿让你等待也不愿解决你的问题。然而环顾四周,几乎每个行业都有一些异类公司,尽管规模庞大,却依然以使命为导向:金融领域的Vanguard、服装领域的Patagonia、零售领域的Costco。一旦你知道如何寻找,你会发现它们无处不在,日复一日、年复一年地默默履行承诺,同时赚取巨额利润。我们已经接受,成功企业的逐渐腐败就像重力一样自然和不可避免。然而,如果有异类公司能够抵抗它,那么这个说法就不是全部真相。那么,作为个人,我们能做些什么呢?每一次点击、每一次滑动、每一次点赞、每一次购买都在为他们的算法提供动力。这些都归结为同一件事:你会怎么做?你——客户、订阅者、潜在投资者、员工。即使你认为没人在看,你做的每一个选择都会像引力波一样产生回响。只有你能帮助打破这个循环。如果你还没有对那些从你身上榨取价值而非创造价值的产品和平台上瘾,就不要开始。如果你还有力量,就离开。作为客户、员工或投资者,你有拒绝的权力。通常,这被描述为一个“集体行动问题”,仿佛除非你已经和其他人达成一致,否则做正确的事毫无意义。但这样看会让我们错过一个令人惊讶的力量来源。记住重力是如何运作的:它源于感知。每一笔交易都发出一个信号。当你离开时,这个行为会成为他们的数据——以及某人的OKR。当足够多的人做出类似的选择,即使没有协调,领导者也会看到这个模式。这就是个体的引力如何变成集体的力量。而我们如此轻易、如此不假思索地放弃了这种力量。我们把退休储蓄投资到我们抱怨的那些系统中。我们从营销最花哨或平台最方便的商家那里购买。我们为自己不相信的公司工作。每一个选择,我们都为这个系统增加了一点引力,让它感觉更永久、更不可避免。Ursula K. Le Guin这样描述我们“不可避免”的金融和经济体系:“它的力量似乎不可逃避。就像君权神授一样。” 支配现代生活的结构比你当地公园里的树还要年轻。它们的不可避免性是一种幻觉。我们构建的未来不取决于遥远的“他们”做出更好的决定,而取决于我们认识到自己已经拥有的力量。节选自Eric Ries所著的《Incorruptible》,由Authors Equity出版。版权所有 © 2026 Eric Ries。经Authors Equity许可重印。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。
