偷窃被捕提供了奥斯汀·巴特勒电影巨星地位迄今最强有力的证明

(SeaPRwire) - 每当奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)出现在银幕上时,他通常都在做一件事。 在电影《Elvis》中扮演猫王,他如此深入角色,以至于在镜头之外,他似乎也永远不会停止用普雷斯利(Presley)深沉的南方口音说话。在《Dune: Part Two》中饰演哈克南(Harkonnen)家族的“裙带关系宝宝”菲德-罗萨(Feyd-Rautha),他展现出北欧口音和精神病态的眼神。在《The Bikeriders》中,他扮演了一个冷淡、难以捉摸、带有近乎神话色彩的“飞车党”角色。此外,他还出演了《Eddington》,并在《The Manson Family》中饰演曼森(Manson)家族的一员。 这就是为什么在奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)这部根据查理·赫斯顿(Charlie Huston)小说改编、背景设定在90年代的电影《Caught Stealing》中,他饰演了一个本质上普通的家伙——汉克·汤普森(Hank Thompson),这显得如此引人注目。这也许是他电影明星地位迄今为止最伟大的证明。 汉克(Hank)曾是一名棒球明星,现在在下东区(Lower East Side)的一家低档酒吧工作。他与一位名叫伊冯娜(Yvonne,由佐伊·克拉维茨 Zoë Kravitz 饰演)的火辣急救员约会,并酗酒麻痹过去事故带来的痛苦,但总体而言,他是一个甜美、典型的美国男孩。他不停地给母亲打电话。他对街区里的无家可归者也很好。 正因如此,当汉克被要求照顾一只名叫巴德(Bud)的猫时,他的世界被彻底颠覆了,这只猫属于他的朋克风格的英国邻居拉斯(Russ),拉斯陷入了一个非常糟糕的困境。拉斯离城去看望他病重的父亲,这意味着当来自全市各地的愤怒歹徒来找他时,汉克就成了他们找到的人。 在整部电影中,巴特勒(Butler)被要求在混乱和暴力围绕他时保持一股稳定的力量。他只是一个试图过普通生活的普通人,却卷入了一场糟糕的境地,这意味着他现在任由一群情绪激动、暴力倾向的东欧人、哈西德派暴徒以及巴德·邦尼(Bad Bunny)性gan地挥舞着手枪摆布。在一个片段中,这位又名贝尼托·安东尼奥·马丁内斯·奥卡西奥(Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio)的说唱歌手,对衣衫不整的巴特勒进行了浮夸的威胁。 尽管巴特勒(Butler)被所有这些狂野的角色包围,他却几乎总是银幕上最引人入胜的人。即使在这些绝望的环境中,他仍赋予汉克(Hank)一种轻松自如的感觉,那种胜利者的姿态,就像人们期望的那位拥有超凡运动能力的加利福尼亚人一样。最重要的是,他是一个讨人喜欢的人,尽管他正在处理埋藏在心底的情感创伤和一系列当前的伤病。 《Caught Stealing》展现了巴特勒(Butler)在他成年后的职业生涯中首次真正舒适地利用他天生的英俊和魅力在银幕上发挥优势。 巴特勒(Butler)刚出道时,因为他金童般的外貌,被安排扮演传统的男主角角色。例如,在《The Carrie Diaries》中,他饰演塞巴斯蒂安·基德(Sebastian Kydd),一个年轻的凯莉·布拉德肖(Carrie Bradshaw)的“早期大先生”。他的主要工作就是当女主角为他倾心时,他散发着迷人的魅力。 随着巴特勒(Butler)作为一位所谓的“严肃演员”声名鹊起,他似乎最渴望的是改造自己,通过沉浸在角色中,掩盖了他个人的魅力以及真实生活中的自我。这并不是说他把自己变丑了——猫王当然是最初的青少年偶像——但他试图让自己沉浸其中。巴特勒(Butler)最近承认,他正在努力摒弃他的方法派表演方式。他透露,他偶然遇到的劳拉·邓恩(Laura Dern)正在帮助他学习如何将自己从那些更耗费心力的角色中抽离出来。“她正越来越多地帮助我认识到,你可以走出另一边,也许你的一些部分已经愈合、融合和代谢了,”他说。“这在某种程度上可以起到治疗作用。” 这个全新、更放松的巴特勒(Butler)在《Caught Stealing》中得以展现。他的表演依然充满张力——毕竟他在动作戏中多次受伤流血、遍体鳞伤——但也渴望吸引观众而非将他们拒之门外。他希望观众能站在他和汉克(Hank)这边,从而比以往任何时候都更具魅力。即使在他喝醉时,那也感觉像是角色内心深处创伤的自然流露。最伟大的电影明星是那些将自身纯粹的技艺与某种难以言喻的光芒相结合的人。巴特勒(Butler)现在已充分证明他是一位技术精湛的演员,能够像猫王(Elvis)或菲德-罗萨(Feyd-Rautha)一样融入角色。《Caught Stealing》则表明,当他不隐藏自己奥斯汀·巴特勒(Austin Butler)式的特质时,他同样能够引人入胜。这对他作为好莱坞中坚力量的长期未来而言是一个好兆头。他真的无所不能。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。

Ford CEO 吉姆·法利:实体经济的生产力差距应令所有人担忧 Latest News

Ford CEO 吉姆·法利:实体经济的生产力差距应令所有人担忧

(SeaPRwire) - 我在 Hill and Vaughn 工作期间完成了商学院的学业,这是一家由美国第一位 Formula One 冠军赛车手 Phil Hill 和收藏家 Ken Vaughn 创立的经典汽车修复店。 在那里,我主要从事内饰工作,缝制蛙皮、水牛皮以及你能想象到的各种材料。但我也曾是一名机械师,从 Henry Ford 时代起,我就一直在重建发动机并修理使汽车运行的许多部件和系统。像许多美国人一样,我通过亲手实践来学习。 作为一名 CEO,我每天都会听到关于 A.I. 等新技术将如何改变我们经济的说法。但我禁不住会思考 A.I. 无法取代的工作:数百万主要依靠双手工作的人。这包括 Ford 数以万计的计时制员工和熟练技工,他们每天维持着我们的制造系统运转,以及数百万使用我们的商用卡车和货车完成工作的人。 无论你是一名在高速行驶的救护车中插入静脉输液管的急救人员,还是一名疏通下水道的管道工,A.I. 都无法完成你的工作。 这些动手工作者是我们所称的美国“支柱经济”的一部分——我们赖以维持经济运转的关键产业,这些产业的就业岗位长期以来一直是通往中产阶级的跳板,也是强大、稳定社区的基石。建筑、农业、熟练技工、交通、能源和制造业等行业维持着 并在 GDP 中贡献着 。支柱经济是这个国家的支柱。而它正处于危险之中。 在过去八年里——得益于云计算、移动应用程序和更快的电话会议等技术, 生产力 。但同期,支柱经济的生产力却有所下降, 据 Aspen Institute 称。这就是我临近 Labor Day 所担心的问题,因为生产力是推动企业更高利润、工人更高工资和国家更高 GDP 的最有效工具之一。 如何弥合支柱经济的生产力差距 那么,我们如何弥合这一差距呢? 首先,我们需要认真对待劳动力发展。美国在支柱产业正遭受严重的劳动力短缺。在我所在的行业,未来三年内,我们仅为满足需求就需要超过 。建筑行业 ,并且 。我预测,对受过培训的熟练支柱经济工人的需求在未来几年只会增长。 长期以来,我们一直将劳动力发展计划视为对近期失业者的福利。相反,正如 一文所言,我们应该学习联邦研发资金的成功模式——并将劳动力发展视为对支柱经济的一项有力投资。根据最新研究,目前我们用于职业培训的开支低于几乎所有其他工业化国家——仅占我们 GDP 的 0.1%。这需要改变。 近一个世纪前,工人可以在 Henry Ford Trade School 等私立机构或 Works Progress Administration 等政府项目接受培训。这两者都在 1952 年前关闭了。 提供两年制学位和熟练技工证书的公立学院过去是——现在仍然是——通往稳定中产阶级生活的跳板。我们需要在美国围绕劳动力发展进行一场文化转变,打破这些职业不值得我们年轻人追求的耻辱感。 2050 年的劳动力市场 当我们培训工人时,我们应该让他们为 2050 年的经济做好准备,而不是 1950 年的经济。增强现实和机器人技术等新工具可以像云计算对办公室工作人员所做的那样,大大提高汽车技工的生产力。现在,我们有机会为那些从事动手工作的人最重要的“十根手指”发起一场“数字”革命。 为了实现这些目标,我们需要在联邦、州和地方层面精简繁文缛节。 ,基础设施和制造业发展项目因可预防且代价高昂的许可延迟而夭折。我们可以找到方法来确保安全、保护环境并听取利益相关者的意见,同时仍然更快地完成项目。 我知道还有更多的好主意。本月晚些时候,Ford 将在 Detroit 召开一场 关于支柱经济的会议。我邀请了商界、科技界和政府的领导人——当然,还有支柱经济前线的工人和企业家。我确信我们将产生影响,因为诞生于 Detroit 的想法很少会仅限于此。 如果我们继续忽视支柱经济会发生什么?建筑工人太少将使住房更加昂贵。农业工人短缺?我们都将为食品杂货支付更多费用。 因此,随着 Labor Day 的临近,我将庆祝 Ford 的一线英雄和熟练技工每天的工作,他们让数百万人保持运转。我将寻找弥合生产力差距的方法,这个差距影响着所有建设和维持这个国家及我们社区的支柱经济工人。让我们把支柱经济作为国家优先事项——因为我们所有人都与它的成功息息相关。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。

我在卡特里娜飓风期间生下了孩子。我的城市发生了怎样的变化 Latest News

我在卡特里娜飓风期间生下了孩子。我的城市发生了怎样的变化

(SeaPRwire) - 我并非来自新奥尔良。但有时,我获得荣誉地位,因为自1999年以来,我一直在这里生活并担任新闻记者——还因为20年前,我在卡特里娜飓风来临的前一天,在新奥尔良的 Touro Infirmary 生下了我们的儿子赫克托。 赫克托原定9月11日出生,但他提前来了。2005年8月28日,在一个酷热的周六,我在 Dauphine Street 街角的 Mattassa’s Market 首次感受到阵痛,当时我进去买冰棒。一个来买香烟的朋友陪我走回家,并一直等到他的父亲,小号手“Kid Merv”坎贝尔那天完成了一场铜管乐队演出。 我是在周日早上,也就是卡特里娜飓风登陆前一天左右生下孩子的。但是,8月29日以3级风暴袭击新奥尔良的卡特里娜飓风,并非这座城市的毁灭——真正导致毁灭的是洪水。 周日深夜,我们和刚出生的宝宝在医院睡觉时,听到走廊对面另一位新妈妈的尖叫声。她接到了城市下九区(Lower 9th Ward)的家人打来的电话,他们已经迅速爬到阁楼,因为洪水已经淹没了他们的一楼。就在我儿子出生不到一天的时候,第一道破损的堤坝在 Jourdan Avenue 决口,20英尺高的水喷涌而入,淹没了整个社区。 我们一家在周三离开了这座城市,最终在亚利桑那州的凤凰城待了11个月,我记得那段时间几乎没下过雨。崎岖的岩石和仙人掌有时感觉像一个外太空世界,我们首先在姐姐家暂住,然后在一个当地长老会教会的帮助下安顿下来,他们收留了我们以及新奥尔良大号演奏家杰弗里·希尔斯(Jeffrey Hills)的家人。 任何搬到新城市的人都能理解离开所爱之地时的痛苦。但卡特里娜飓风后的流离失所感觉不同。新奥尔良本地艺术家兼舞者米歇尔·吉布森(Michelle Gibson)也许将其描述得最贴切,她在独角戏表演中走进观众席,随机抓住几个人,把他们从一排移到另一排。当一位观众试图在被移动时带走她的钱包时,吉布森告诉她把它留在原地。 在那些时刻,唯一的慰藉就是你和你关心的人在一起。 所以,在2006年7月,当我打包一辆 U-Haul 拖车离开凤凰城时,我与希尔斯(Hills)一家同行,他们在德克萨斯州与我分道扬镳,他们将在那里再待一年,直到他们也能搬回更靠近家乡的地方。赫克托的父亲也会在稍后独自回家。 就在风暴来临前不久,我们搬到了法国区边缘的一套公寓,那里从未被淹。灾后,一位来自被淹地区的朋友在那里暂住,直到我们能够回来。在接下来的一年里,许多家人和朋友每个周末从德克萨斯州或田纳西州通勤过来,睡在我们前面的沙发床上,为的是重建家园。事情就是这样。人们找到一个地方暂时安顿下来,同时寻找更永久的回家之路。 回来重建家园是一项艰苦的工作。房主寻找承包商,自己动手干活。租房者寻找价格合理的住处,因为新奥尔良的生活成本在短时间内大幅上涨。 有时,即使在艰难时期,走到城市潮湿的空气中也感觉很好。宁静。似乎所有的努力都是值得的。 但这些时刻也伴随着一个痛苦的现实,那就是我们许多以前的邻居无法回来,往往是由于经济、健康状况不佳或失业。 卡特里娜飓风20周年带来了同样的苦乐参半的感觉。我们对发生的一切以及那些未能挺过风暴或从流离失所中归来的人深感悲痛。我们讨厌我们城市账单的飙升,这里曾经以生活成本低廉而闻名。我每月的抵押贷款大部分是房屋保险费——因为我们生活在灾区。 但实话实说,我们很高兴能在这里。赫克托20岁了,他吻了我一下,然后去他在下九区(Lower 9th Ward)Andrew P. Sanchez Rec Center 担任高级救生员的工作。今年夏天早些时候,在一个全新奥尔良的大新闻中,他的团队将一名男子从水中救起,并通过心肺复苏(CPR)使其恢复了呼吸和心跳。 我的“飓风宝宝”在下九区(Lower 9th Ward)保护泳者免受深水危险,这真是一种圆满。他下班后,会开车经过杂草丛生的空地和房屋漂走后留下的孤零零的台阶。每当他回到家走进屋里时,附近其他“卡特里娜时代”的宝宝们就会陆续过来,前厅里会充满欢声笑语。 他们小时候都在其他城市度过:在德克萨斯州、田纳西州、佐治亚州和亚利桑那州。但他们是在湿热的夏季空气中走回这里的。现在,当他们在一起聊天时,他们的新奥尔良口音很浓。 今年秋天,我们社区的橄榄球教练注意到他的球员名单发生了变化,他告诉我。 近20年来,他的大部分球员都出生在远离“Big Easy”的地方。这些学生通常出生在休斯顿、小石城、达拉斯、亚特兰大等城市——他们的家人在卡特里娜飓风后流离失所到这些地方。 但今年,他收到的球员在赛季开始时的文件大多显示他们出生在新奥尔良的医院。 对于新奥尔良当地社区来说,这样的趋势反映了卡特里娜飓风摧毁这座城市后二十年的复苏。对我而言,这意味着新奥尔良的家庭可能终于在故土获得了一些稳定感。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。

乔治·克鲁尼在诺亚·鲍姆巴赫的杰伊·凯利中表现内敛动人 Latest News

乔治·克鲁尼在诺亚·鲍姆巴赫的杰伊·凯利中表现内敛动人

(SeaPRwire) - 上一分钟,他还是一个当红年轻影星;下一分钟,他已成了银发帅哥。时光飞逝,谁能料到?关于逐渐老去的好莱坞女演员的电影有很多—— 和《彗星美人》就是典范——但不知何故,我们似乎总认为变老对男人没有那么大的影响。女人通常随着年龄增长会失去部分魅力;而男人则更容易展现出性感的稳重感。这对于 和他在威尼斯电影节首映的《杰伊·凯利》中扮演的乔治·克鲁尼式角色都是如此。你找不到比他更适合这个故事的演员了:一个大获成功的演员,在与一位老友相遇,从深情的回忆开始,却以一场拳头相向的争执告终后,重新审视自己一生所做的一切。这个想法本身就令人耳目一新,并且给克鲁尼提供了大量的发挥空间:饰演杰伊时,他可以上一分钟光芒四射——无论是在片场还是在人群中——下一分钟又为自己的诸多错误而沉思。克鲁尼无所不能。 然而,《杰伊·凯利》却有着某种异常迟钝之处。鲍姆巴赫与艾米丽·莫蒂默(她本身就是一位出色的演员,在本片中也只出现了几个简短的场景)共同编剧。这部电影没有什么明显令人讨厌的地方,也有几场戏写得、演得、导得都非常精彩。但《杰伊·凯利》更多的是感伤而非真正深刻的思考,尤其是在杰伊脑海中如洪钟般回荡的主题:我为什么没有花更多时间陪我的孩子?杰伊有两个孩子,一个大女儿()对她的父亲怀有怨恨,一个小女儿(格蕾丝·爱德华兹)更理解他,尽管她即将去上大学。他唯一真正的朋友是那个(电影多次提醒我们)从他所有收入中抽取15%提成的经纪人罗恩(由 精湛饰演)。而这真的是朋友吗?他和罗恩都面对了这个问题,他们得出的答案让两人都不开心。 或许问题在于《杰伊·凯利》试图涵盖太多内容,结果却对本应重要的事物敷衍带过。电影开场时,杰伊正在拍摄他最新一部大制作电影的最后一幕。(这部电影叫《八个男人以后》,显然是对巴德·博蒂彻1956年西部片《七个男人以后》的致敬,但并不特别相关。)他已经拍了六七遍以上,但他还想再来一遍。这是他的口头禅:他如此追求完美,确信自己总能超越自己。当他最终离开片场时,他向全体剧组人员挥手,真诚地感谢他们,而他们也很喜欢这样。他以此种关注为食。当他独处时(这几乎从不发生),他不知道该如何自处。电影中另一个可能重复了太多次的口头禅是:“做自己比你想象的更难。” 与女儿们疏远或半疏远,杰伊在偶然遇到一位表演学校的老朋友,提摩西时,感到高兴和好奇。他们一时冲动,出去喝了几杯。提摩西现在是一名儿童精神病医生;他只是放弃了演戏,至少杰伊是这么认为的。他对老朋友赞不绝口,同时也暴露出自己的不安全感——提摩西曾是方法派Method演员,这表明了一种杰伊觉得自己永远无法达到的严肃程度。随后,提摩西,起初和蔼可亲,却突然对他发难。原来提摩西认为杰伊正是他事业不顺的原因。在采访中,杰伊经常开玩笑地说起一个故事,讲的是他偶然获得第一个大角色,因为他只是陪一个朋友去试镜。提摩西就是那个朋友,在他看来,杰伊只是利用了他。“你偷走了我的人生,”他苦涩地说,杰伊则垂头丧气。他可能很迟钝——但他并不残忍。 有很多值得深入探讨的地方,但不知不觉间,《杰伊·凯利》又转向了下一个情节。这是一部躁动不安、难以捉摸的电影。托斯卡纳的电影节想以隆重的致敬仪式来表彰杰伊。杰伊起初拒绝了,但当他意识到他的小女儿大约在同一时间会在欧洲旅行时,他改变了主意。因此,鲍姆巴赫穿插了一段长长的场景,设定在一列从巴黎开往意大利乡村的火车上,这段场景本可以被剪短或几乎完全删除。因为杰伊几乎每时每刻都有人在身边,电影中充满了只出现一两场的配角,包括吉姆·布劳德本特饰演那位发掘了杰伊的仁慈导演,阿尔芭·罗尔瓦赫尔饰演一位迷人的电影节跑腿人,饰演罗恩疲惫的妻子,以及斯泰西·基齐饰演杰伊健谈但难相处的父亲。 饰演杰伊沮丧的公关人员,短暂露面;她和桑德勒在电影中奉献了最精彩的一幕,他们回想起过去差点永远在一起的时光,尽管现在他们都与其他人安定下来了。 克鲁尼饰演的杰伊·凯利是这个群星璀璨的中心,既光芒四射又内省忧郁。他散发出的光芒有多少,他从周围人那里吸收的就有多少:他以一种他们不需要他的方式需要他们。这次表演有着一种默默的感动——克鲁尼成功地让你关心一个内心可能相当空虚的男人。当他最终抵达托斯卡纳的致敬仪式时——一路上伴随着许多焦虑和挣扎——他与观众一同观看那些从杰伊·凯利职业生涯各个时期提取的,可想而知是赞誉有加的电影片段集锦。但我们看到的却是克鲁尼职业生涯的片段:来自《迈克尔·克莱顿》、《细细的红线》,甚至是2020年的《午夜天空》,其中克鲁尼饰演一位蓄着大胡子的孤独科学家。我们看着他看着自己——这不仅仅是杰伊·凯利看着杰伊·凯利,更是乔治·克鲁尼看着乔治·克鲁尼,在那些他看起来中年却又令人愉快地庄重的角色中,有时又显得不可思议地年轻,像一个刚迈出第一步的影坛新星。他脸上的表情——杰伊脸上的,克鲁尼脸上的——充满了纯粹的惊奇。“那个人到底是谁?”他似乎在问自己,被自己的形象所吸引和诱惑。这是这部充满无解问题的电影中最好的视觉问号。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。

气候助长的野火正在逆转清洁空气的进展 Latest News

气候助长的野火正在逆转清洁空气的进展

(SeaPRwire) - 根据周四发布的新数据,野火正在逆转加拿大和美国数十年来在清洁空气标准方面取得的进展。 University of Chicago 的研究人员发布了他们的年度 (AQLI) 报告,该报告跟踪空气污染及其对预期寿命的影响。今年的报告分析了2023年收集的数据。 那一年,加拿大经历了史上最严重的野火季节,烧毁了超过 英亩的土地,火焰导致美国和加拿大的空气污染浓度分别上升到自2011年和1998年以来未曾见过的水平,这些是 AQLI 开始记录空气质量数据的年份。过去,加拿大和美国在降低空气污染方面都取得了长足进展——但野火逆转了这一进展。2023年,两国空气污染增幅居全球之首——尽管当时两国都有严格的空气质量规定。野火提升了美国部分地区的污染水平,也改变了美国污染的地理分布。美国污染最严重的县通常集中在加利福尼亚州,但那一年,野火导致包括威斯康星州、伊利诺伊州和印第安纳州以及远至南部的密西西比州在内的多个州的县也名列污染最严重的地区。 AQLI 数据显示,在全球范围内,2023年 PM2.5(直径为2.5微米或更小的微小颗粒,由火灾和其他污染源释放到空气中)的浓度比2022年水平增加了1.5%——达到了 World Health Organization (WHO) 指导标准的近五倍。长期暴露于 PM2.5 会增加心脏病、肺癌和中风等健康影响的风险。 这些发现严峻地警示了应对空气质量可能面临的新现实。今年是历史上第二严重的火灾季,自2025年初以来,总共有 燃烧。根据一项 研究显示,气候变化正在导致野火的频率和强度增加,其中增幅最大的地区发生在美国西部以及北美北部和俄罗斯的北方森林。 与此同时,Trump Administration 正在努力撤销美国的清洁空气标准。今年三月,Environmental Protection Agency 宣布计划废除具有里程碑意义的污染标准,其中包括 污染物标准,该标准旨在规范颗粒物等有害污染物。 该政府还 撤销了2009年的“危害认定”,该认定确定温室气体对公众健康构成威胁,并为 Clean Air Act 下的法规提供了法律依据。研究人员表示,气候变化和空气污染密切相关,降低二氧化碳排放(二氧化碳会提高温度并 ),是减少空气污染的重要组成部分。 研究人员在报告中写道:“气候变化和空气污染都源于同一根源——来自车辆、发电厂和工业的化石燃料燃烧。” “在这方面,减少化石燃料消耗有可能降低空气污染浓度,并减少破坏性气候变化的风险。”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。

Archer与Joby股票:谁领跑?

(SeaPRwire) - 随着 Archer Aviation (NYSE:ACHR) 和 Joby Aviation (NYSE:JOBY) 等公司不懈努力,以使城市空中交通成为现实,电动空中出租车争夺天空主导权的竞赛日趋激烈。这些公司各具独特优势和挑战,使其进展成为投资者关注的焦点。 Archer Aviation 凭借其 Midnight 飞机取得了长足进步,有望提供一种更安静、更高效的城市交通解决方案。该公司强调致力于通过专注于电动垂直起降 (eVTOL) 技术来建设可持续的未来。Archer 与 United Airlines 等主要公司的合作进一步巩固了其市场地位,目标是到 2025 年启动商业运营。 另一方面,作为 eVTOL 领域的先驱,Joby Aviation 已取得重要里程碑,获得了 FAA 的 G-1 认证基础,这是迈向商业飞行运营的关键一步。Joby 也受益于战略投资,其中包括来自 Toyota 的投资,这突显了其引领市场的潜力。他们的飞机承诺单次充电可续航 150 英里,最高时速可达 200 英里。 Archer 和 Joby 都瞄准同一市场,但采取的策略略有不同。Archer 初期服务航线侧重于较短的城市内航班,而 Joby 则旨在覆盖更长航线,可能进军区域空中交通领域。市场对这些公司的接受度将很大程度上取决于它们驾驭监管环境和技术挑战的能力。 投资者正密切关注哪家公司将获得先行者优势。尽管 Archer 似乎凭借其既定合作伙伴关系和激进的时间表占有优势,但 Joby 在获得必要认证方面的良好记录可能会让其在清除所有监管障碍后更快地起飞。 两家公司的财务前景同样引人关注。Archer 已通过 SPAC 合并获得大量资金,为其推进研发和生产能力提供了所需资本。同时,Joby 获得主要行业参与者的财政支持,为其在获得认证后迅速扩大运营奠定了坚实基础。 总而言之,Archer 和 Joby 都作为新兴城市空中交通领域的领导者提出了令人信服的案例。投资者应考虑每家公司提供的独特优势,同时密切关注其运营里程碑和监管进展。随着电动空中出租车的天空之门打开,这场竞赛的赢家最终可能取决于谁能为大众提供安全、可靠且经济高效的解决方案。 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。 Archer 和 Joby 的进展和合作在 eVTOL 市场中至关重要。 Joby 的 FAA 认证对其进入市场至关重要。

Fosun’s Bold Innovation & Globalization Drive Valuation Upside

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - On 27 August, Fosun International (HKEX: 00656) announced its 2025 interim results, with total revenue reaching RMB87.28 billion, industrial operation profit amounting to RMB3.15 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent reaching RMB661.2 million.While these figures may seem uneventful at first glance, the underlying shifts are worth taking a closer look.In the first half of 2025, Fosun’s four core subsidiaries generated a total revenue of RMB63.61 billion, with their contribution to the Group’s total revenue rising from 70% in 2024 to 73%. This clearly reflects that Fosun has made notable progress in its core business-focused strategy and has actively strengthened both its operational capabilities and competitive advantages across key industries in recent years.Regarding Fosun’s investment in technology innovation, the first half of 2025 marked a “DeepSeek moment” for China’s innovative drug industry. Fosun’s consistent pursuit of the technology innovation strategy also delivered breakthroughs, fostering a number of globally competitive innovations. Its Health segment posted profit attributable to owners of the parent of RMB756 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 48.3%. Fosun’s investment in technology innovation reached RMB3.6 billion in the first half of 2025, representing sustained growth compared to the same period last year. After years of intense investment, Fosun has entered a phase of accelerated innovations.In addition, leveraging its long-term commitment to global operations, Fosun’s overseas revenue reached RMB46.67 billion in the first half of 2025, with its proportion of the Group’s total revenue rising from 49.3% in 2024 to 53%.These three sets of figures give us a glimpse into the changes in Fosun International’s fundamentals. After years of advancing its innovation and globalization strategies, these have become the core drivers of Fosun’s business growth, expanding the runway for future performance growth while driving a valuation re-rating of Fosun International.Multi-front breakthroughs in innovation poised to drive “adaptive growth”In the first half of 2025, Fosun entered a harvest phase for its innovation achievements. A total of 5 indications of 4 innovative drugs independently developed and licensed-in by Fosun Pharma were approved for launch both domestically and internationally, 4 innovative drugs had entered the pre-launch approval stage. Among them, the Class I new drug independently developed by Fosun Pharma, FUMAINING (luvometinib tablets), was approved for marketing in Chinese mainland, filling the treatment gap in the field of rare tumors and marking an important milestone in Fosun Pharma’s development in the fields of oncology and rare disease treatment.Fosun Pharma’s R&D investment totaled RMB2.584 billion in the first half of 2025, focusing on core therapeutic areas such as solid tumors, hematological tumors, and immuno-inflammatory diseases to build a high-value pipeline portfolio. Meanwhile, it actively expanded into chronic diseases (cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic diseases) and neurological fields.Leveraging the efficiency, cost advantages, and high quality of China’s R&D system, Henlius, a subsidiary of Fosun is scaling up its R&D capacity and building innovation capabilities comparable to those of leading multinational pharmaceutical companies. In the first half of 2025, Henlius achieved multiple breakthroughs in its core innovative products, including the PD-L1-targeting antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), HLX43 and the novel epitope anti-HER2 monoclonal antibody, HLX22.Among these innovative drugs, HLX43 is a PD-L1-targeting ADC currently in global Phase II clinical trials. It is undergoing clinical studies for solid tumors such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and thymic carcinoma in countries including China, the US, Japan, and Australia. HLX43 has demonstrated notable competitiveness in terms of drug safety, efficacy, and R&D progress, and holds strong potential to become a broad-spectrum anti-cancer drug.Driven by its innovation strategy, Henlius achieved impressive growth in revenue, profit and cash flow in the first half of the year. Alongside its performance breakthroughs, Henlius has earned strong recognition from investors. As at 26 August, Henlius’ share price saw an impressive 254% surge year-to-date.Fosun’s innovative drug achievements in the first half of the year mark only a starting point. Nearly 20 clinical trials of Fosun Pharma’s innovative drugs were approved to be conducted by domestic and overseas regulatory institutions in the first half of the year, positioning Fosun for adaptive growth.Meanwhile, several promising molecules in Henlius’ early-stage pipeline are advancing rapidly, spanning ADCs, small molecules, T-cell engagers (TCEs), and more. Gradually stepping onto the global innovation stage, these candidates hold potential to become blockbuster products. For example, HLX43, a key focus, has enrolled more than 300 patients globally. Its global Phase II clinical trials are underway, with patient enrolment progressing smoothly across China, the US, Japan, and other countries and clinical efficacy data indicating strong potential for it to become a major product.Unleashing continued benefits from globalizationQuality innovations need the right platform to shine. Fosun’s success in innovative drug R&D is closely linked to another strategic capabilities, globalization. As one of the earliest Chinese private enterprises to go global, Fosun has spent over 30 years building its presence in more than 40 countries and regions worldwide, demonstrating well-recognized globalization capabilities.Fosun’s globalization capabilities have undoubtedly facilitated the establishment of a global innovation system integrating “independent R&D + investment incubation + ecosystem collaboration”, as well as the global expansion of innovative drugs.In August 2025, the small molecule orally administered DPP-1 inhibitor developed by Fosun Pharma achieved overseas licensing for a potential total of US$645 million, garnering strong investor attention. Currently, no small molecule orally administered inhibitors with the same mechanism of action have been approved for marketing worldwide.In the first half of 2025, Henlius’ globalization strategy was in full swing, with global product revenue exceeding RMB2.5568 billion, representing an increase of 3.1% year-on-year. Overseas products profits surged over 200%. Cash inflows from business development (BD) agreements exceeded RMB1 billion, surging 280% year-on-year. As the overseas sales volume of commercialized products continues to rise, Henlius is expected to see significant growth in overseas revenue and profits for the full year of 2025, with strong momentum likely to continue into 2026.Up to date, Henlius has 6 products launched in China, 4 approved for marketing in overseas markets, reaching about 60 markets in Asia, Europe, Latin America, North America and Oceania.Fosun’s globalization capabilities have also driven significant growth across industries such as consumption, cultural tourism, and intelligent manufacturing.Hainan Mining, a subsidiary of Fosun focusing on energy and bulk commodities, saw its overseas revenue proportion exceed that of Fosun International, reaching 57% in the first half of 2025. Hainan Mining commenced pilot production at Phase 1 of the Bougouni lithium mine in Mali. Coupled with the Roc Oil oilfield project in Malaysia and the recently acquired oilfield project in Oman, Hainan Mining is accelerating the building of a “Minerals + Energy” network spanning West Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.In recent years, the Yuyuan Lantern Festival, with a long history in Shanghai, has been steadily expanding its presence overseas. Following its overseas debut in Paris, France in late 2023, the themed lantern installation made a stunning appearance in Hanoi, Vietnam in January 2025, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Vietnam. In June, the Lantern Festival lit up at ICONSIAM, a renowned commercial landmark in Bangkok, Thailand, as part of the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Thailand.Songhelou, a time-honored Chinese brand under Yuyuan with a 268-year history, opened its first overseas restaurant in London, the UK. Yuyuan Jewelry Fashion Group will embark on its overseas expansion by the end of this year, targeting Hong Kong, Macau and Southeast Asia as key destinations.Fosun’s overseas subsidiaries have been actively expanding their presence globally. In the first half of 2025, Fosun Insurance Portugal’s international operations accounted for 28.2% of total consolidated business and overseas gross written premiums reached EUR924 million.Club Med, a global resort group under Fosun, once again achieved record-high global performance in the first half of 2025. Its business volume amounted to RMB9.25 billion, up 3.8% year-on-year; operating profit reached RMB1.27 billion, up 11.0% year-on-year.Entering a new phase of valuation recoveryPursuing innovation and globalization requires not only financial investment but also a long-term vision and the patience to endure challenging periods. For companies constantly navigating survival and development challenges, maintaining such persistence is no easy task.Since its establishment in 1992, Fosun has maintained high R&D investment in the Health segment and is now reaping the rewards with steadily increasing revenue contribution. Against the backdrop of booming technology innovations, driven by biopharmaceuticals and AI, Fosun holds strong potential to achieve adaptive growth fueled by blockbuster innovations.Globalization has been a strategic “first-mover” advantage for Fosun since the listing of Fosun International in 2007. While many competitors battled domestically, Fosun seized the opportunity presented by the 2008 global financial crisis to deepen its overseas business presence. As domestic competition intensifies, the imperative “go global or go home” is becoming clear for many companies. With over half of its revenue now from overseas markets, Fosun’s over a decade-long global footprint continues to deliver sustained development benefits.According to Fosun’s interim results, Fosun continued to optimize its asset portfolio in the first half of 2025, maintaining a solid financial position with ample cash reserves. As at 30 June 2025, the total debt to total capital ratio stood at 53%, with debt ratio remaining at a healthy level.In May 2025, the international credit rating agency S&P affirmed Fosun’s credit metrics and maintained its rating outlook as “Stable”. Fosun’s Hong Kong-listed companies in the Health segment saw a strong market capitalization performance in the first half of 2025, driving a revaluation of underlying asset values. As the macroeconomic landscape progressively brightens, Fosun International has initiated a new phase of valuation recovery. Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

业绩摘要:- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月(「回顾期」)的收益约为18.3亿港元,较去年同期增加约7.8%。收益增加主要由于本集团持续的自然增长(主要在欧洲及澳洲地区),并借着我们于2025年1月完成收购泰国最大的牙科实验室Hexa Ceram Company Limited(「Hexa Ceram」)而加快。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月的毛利率约为54.8%;毛利约为10.1亿港元,较去年同期增加约10.0%。- 本集团于截至2025年6月30日止六个月的EBITDA约为4.6亿港元,较去年同期增加约21.6%。- 本集团截至2025年6月30日止六个月的纯利约为2.9亿港元,较去年同期增加约34.7%。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月的每股基本盈利为30.37港仙。- 董事会已宣派截至2025年6月30日止六个月的中期股息每股普通股10.7港仙。- 截至2025年6月30日止六个月,本集团于中国内地、泰国及越南生产设施生产之数码化解决方案个案(海外及国内)增加至约457,653件,较2024年同期增加24.4%,原因为客户持续采用口腔内部扫描仪。香港, 2025年8月29日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - 8月28日,全球领先之义齿器材供应商-现代牙科集团有限公司(简称「现代牙科」或「本集团」,股份代号:03600.HK)欣然公布截至2025年6月30日止6个月之未经审核中期业绩。截至2025年6月30日止六个月,在牙科行业数码化趋势的持续支持下,本集团的多维度策略及持续提升的营运效率及生产力使其于本期间的收益、纯利及EBITDA均创下纪录。此情况在宏观经济环境充满挑战之时,包括牙科手术的需求普遍疲弱及贸易战的不确定性下仍能体现。本集团充分善用位于泰国、越南及中国内地的全球化生产设施,积极应对前所未有的国际贸易环境。全球数码化趋势持续推动整合义齿行业,让本集团进一步增加其于业内的市场份额。而我们数码化的持续转型有望改善顾客及患者的体验,可令本集团在竞争对手中脱颖而出,表现优于同行。凭借销售及经销网络的优势,我们于欧洲、北美、大中华、澳洲及其他国家的义齿行业均取得领先地位。欧洲市场业务自欧洲市场的销售收益占我们于回顾期间收益的最大部分。于回顾期间,欧洲市场录得收益约9.2亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月增加约9,734.1万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约50.2%。欧洲市场收益增加是由于推出新产品(例如数码化义齿)及我们最先进的数码化流程,推动销售订单量增加。本集团已成为提供全面数码化解决方案的先驱,范围涵盖多项微创及美容义齿解决方案以至口腔内部扫描仪及透明矫正器,本集团已准备好把握牙科行业数码化趋势加速带来的机遇。本集团继续透过建立以教育及数码化为重点且贴近客户需求的牙科解决方案生态系统,积极从国际及本地竞争对手取得市场份额;并透过不同的境内及境外资源有效地满足我们客户的高期望。本集团一直致力并将继续装备好自己,为市场上的牙科领域提供最先进的数码化解决方案。北美市场业务自北美市场的销售收益占回顾期间收益的第二大部分。于回顾期间,北美市场录得收益约3.7亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月减少约1,964.5万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约19.9%。虽然2025年上半年对主动美容治疗的需求仍然疲弱,我们的中央化数码流程及广泛的生产网络让我们为北美客户提供更高服务质素及营运效率。我们位于美国、中国、越南及泰国等地的多元化供应基地,在应对美国关税的不确定性时带来更大的弹性 - 使我们比其他竞争对手更具优势。虽然进口产品线的数码化起初带动整体市场个案的增长,然而2025年4月在美国实施的关税带来新的不确定性及为我们以进口为主的业务单位的后续销售带来下跌。大中华市场业务于回顾期间,大中华市场录得收益约2.9亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月减少约4,257.6万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约16.0%。中国内地市场面对带量采购政策及持续价格竞争的逆境。此亦导致中国内地诊所积极于香港推广种植牙治疗(香港患者就诊人数明显减少)。本集团有意转移低利润业务,并专注于服务中及高价值客户,确保本集团业务能够长期及可持续获利。本集团对此市场的中长期前景感到乐观,特别是在政府最新的采购相关措施中,预计(i)规范义齿价格及建立价格透明度,促进公平竞争;(ii)让本集团领先的品牌名称及声望成为客户及顾客的主要考虑;及(iii)让本集团从其规模化的生产团队中得益及根据顾客或客户更有效分配资源。澳洲市场业务于回顾期间,澳洲市场录得收益约1.4亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月增加约995.6万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约7.5%。澳洲的收益录得双位数增长,反映牙科行业数化码趋势带动更多新的数码化产品,以及收购Digital Sleep的收益贡献,但部分被相较于截至2024年6月30日止六个月,澳元兑港元贬值4.0%抵销所致。其他市场其他市场主要包括印度洋国家、马来西亚、台湾、新加坡及泰国。截至2025年6月30日止六个月,该等市场录得收益约1.2亿港元,较截至2024年6月30日止六个月增加约8,790.7万港元。此地理市场占本集团收益总额约6.4%。其他市场的收益增加主要由于新收购的Hexa Ceram的收益贡献所致。展望及策略全球宏观经济环境仍然不明朗,地缘政治挑战让全球各行业处于逆境当中。然而,本集团的业务遍及全球多个地区及市场,多元化的经营使其在面对该等挑战时享有独特优势。有别于在单一国家或有限地区经营的竞争对手,本集团均衡多元的国家风险策略,确保其在动荡时刻仍然坚毅不屈,平稳过渡。凭借全球布局及我们适应当地市场环境的能力,使本集团的表现优于竞争对手,并能把握新兴机遇。数码化势不可挡,带动义齿行业的整合。本集团于此趋势中尽享优势,凭借其中央化数码工作流程、先进的生产能力及全球化网络,旨在提升营运效率及提供卓越的客户体验。我们持续对数码化的投资不仅加强我们的竞争优势,亦加快行业的整合,本集团可以从中获得更大的市场份额。我们在过往多年作出多项标志性收购,包括最近于2025年1月收购泰国最大牙科实验室Hexa Ceram,本集团的全球分销及销售网络进一步多元化,加强在东南亚地区的影响力。是次扩张连同我们位于美国、中国、越南及泰国等地的多元化供应基地,让本集团在应对与贸易不明朗因素及其他地缘政治风险等相关的挑战时带来更高弹性。凭借董事会丰富的经验及克服短期挑战的决心,本集团已准备就绪,继续全力把握新商机,同时保持审慎及谨慎的态度,以保障股东利益。关于现代牙科集团现代牙科集团有限公司 (股份代号: 03600.HK) 为全球领先的义齿器材供应商、经销商和顾问,专注于发展迅速的义齿行业为客户提供定制式义齿。我们的产品组合大致可分为三类﹕固定义齿器材,例如牙冠及牙桥;活动义齿器材,例如活动义齿;及其他器材,例如正畸类器材、透明牙套、运动防护器及防鼾器。现代牙科集团拥有多个备受称许的全球品牌,包括西欧的Labocast、Permadental及Elysee Dental、中国的洋紫荆牙科器材、香港的现代牙科器材、美国的Modern Dental USA及MicroDental、澳洲及新西兰的Modern Dental Pacific、新加坡的Modern Dental SG、台湾的 Modern Dental TW、马来西亚的 Apex Digital Dental及泰国的Hexa Ceram等。我们提供稳定和优质的产品及卓越的客户服务,令这些公司品牌能茁壮成长。我们于全球超过 28个国家拥有超过 80 家服务中心及服务逾 30,000 名客户。 Copyright 2025 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.
