凯特·米德尔顿出席纪念周日仪式，逐步回归公务 Latest News

凯特·米德尔顿出席纪念周日仪式，逐步回归公务

November 10, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 伦敦——周日，查尔斯三世国王在伦敦市中心带领全国人民默哀两分钟，以纪念阵亡的军人。威尔士王妃在一旁观望，这进一步表明，在经历了一年两位最受欢迎的王室成员因癌症而退居二线之后，王室正在慢慢回归正常。 纪念周日是英国的一个象征性节日，君主带领高级王室成员、政治领导人（包括首相基尔·斯塔默和他的八位在世的前任）以及英联邦国家的外交使节，在世纪纪念碑前献花圈。世纪纪念碑是一座用波特兰石建造的纪念碑，是纪念英国阵亡将士的中心。 这项仪式在11月的第二个星期日举行，是为了纪念1918年“11月11日第11个小时”签署结束第一次世界大战的停战协定。在整个英国，人们同时举行纪念仪式，以缅怀死者。 默哀两分钟后，皇家海军陆战队的小号手演奏了《最后的邮递》，查尔斯带领大家进行献花圈仪式。 这位75岁的国王身穿海军上将制服，在世纪纪念碑基座上献上了一束罂粟花圈，以纪念从第一次世界大战开始的历次冲突中的阵亡将士。 他的长子、王位继承人威廉王子献上了自己的花圈——上面装饰着威尔士亲王的羽毛，以及一条新的威尔士红丝带。 他的妻子凯特身穿黑色素服，按照传统，从附近外交、联邦和发展事务部的阳台观望。卡米拉王后通常会站在公主旁边，但她因胸部感染而没有出席。 这是自今年年初以来，凯特首次连续两天参加公开官方活动。周六，她参加了在皇家阿尔伯特音乐厅举行的英国皇家军团纪念节。 献花圈仪式结束后，约10,000名退伍军人，包括那些在本世纪参加过战争的人，特别是阿富汗和伊拉克战争的退伍军人，从世纪纪念碑前走过。随着时间的推移，二战老兵只有少数人出席。 查尔斯的武装部队总司令的仪式性角色是君主率领军队出征的时代的遗留物。但君主制与军队的联系仍然非常牢固，军人宣誓效忠国王，王室成员通过各种慈善机构支持军人。查尔斯和威廉在全职履行王室职责之前，曾在军队服役。 “他们向我们表示敬意，就像我们通过服役向他们表示敬意一样，”维克多·尼德姆-克罗夫顿说道，他是1956年苏伊士运河危机期间的陆军老兵，后来在肯尼亚服役。他今年91岁。 查尔斯在2月份被诊断出患有不明类型的癌症，迫使他退出公众活动两个月，以专注于治疗和恢复。仅仅几周后，凯特宣布她自己也被诊断出患有癌症，这使她在接受化疗期间大部分时间都退出了公众活动。 近年来，国王的身体状况一直很好，最近还完成了对澳大利亚和萨摩亚的艰苦访问。凯特在六月份君主生日游行期间首次公开露面，目前正在慢慢回归公众职责。 威廉王子本周反思了癌症风波给王室带来的压力。 “我为我的妻子感到自豪，我为我的父亲感到自豪，因为他们处理了他们所做的事情，”威廉王子周四在结束对南非为期四天的访问时对记者说。“但从个人家庭的角度来看，这确实很残酷。” 虽然世纪纪念碑是全国纪念活动的焦点，但整个英国的社区都在周日举行了自己的仪式。 尼德姆-克罗夫顿曾在皇家因尼斯基林燧发枪团服役，后来在一次卡车事故中结束了他的军旅生涯。他计划在英格兰南海岸的伊斯特本参加当地的一项纪念活动。 他把大部分时间都花在了纪念退伍军人和帮助他们身上，其中包括在出租车军事退伍军人慈善机构当了20年的志愿者。就像他军队中的某些任务一样，筹集资金也相当辛苦，这需要他在伦敦地铁站前站着，收集硬币，以帮助资助该组织的活动。 “我喜欢尊重所有退伍军人，并尽我所能帮助他们，”他告诉美联社。“这实际上是一个兄弟情谊。即使你不知道你遇到的退伍军人，你也会对他们有一种亲近感。这对我很重要。我将在余生中保持这种状态。”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。

如何修复美国破败的选举制度 Latest News

如何修复美国破败的选举制度

November 10, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 本周美国大选的赌注很高，旨在与四年前的 66% 的创纪录投票率相媲美，并超过通常较低的中期选举投票率（2018 年达到 49% 的峰值）。但从记录来看，当你考虑到许多民主国家都更接近于让他们的选民前往投票站时，这些数字看起来很悲惨。 考虑到三分之一到一半的选民选择待在家里，而大多数选民对他们在投票箱中提供的选项感到不满，有必要退一步了解美国是如何选举领导人的。这些选择不仅让民众对政治感到厌倦，而且让民众远离我们的民主，并为越来越极端的候选人敞开大门。 美国选举制度在民主国家中仍然是一个例外。大多数民主国家不是从一个选区选举一位代表，而是从每个选区按各政党获得的投票份额比例选举多位代表。例如，在一个有五位成员的选区中，如果一个政党获得 40% 的选票，它将获得五个席位中的两个席位。这种制度被称为比例代表制。大多数民主国家在几十年前就采用了比例代表制——而且理由充分。 这是因为当选举更加具有代表性时，更多选民会出来投票，因为他们认为自己的声音实际上很重要。因此，美国投票率如此之低也就不足为奇了。在每个选举周期中，至少五分之四的国会选区都对现任议员构成挑战。在全国范围内，普通选举中 10 个选区中有 7 个没有竞争，包括近一半的州立法选举和 5% 的只有一位候选人参加的国会选举。这种缺乏竞争是我们选择从单一议员选区选举代表的原因之一。 而罪魁祸首不是选区划分。即使是建立了独立的选区划分委员会以避免党派选区划分的州，也大多保持不变。随着美国人继续在地理上将自己划分为红区或蓝区，由一方主导的自然集群越来越多地出现。在某些情况下，人们居住的地点和方式的地理位置使得不可能绘制出单一议员选区，从而让党派或少数民族有公平的机会获得代表权。 看看马萨诸塞州和俄克拉荷马州。俄克拉荷马州三分之一的选民是民主党人，但该州所有五个国会席位都落入共和党人之手。马萨诸塞州三分之一的选民是共和党人，但该州所有九个国会席位都落入民主党人之手。这不是因为马萨诸塞州划分的选区不利于共和党人，而是因为你无法在该州绘制出一个单一议员选区来选举共和党人。事实上，研究人员证明，“尽管构建有效选区划分计划的方法比银河系中的粒子还多，但每一种方法都会产生 9-0 的民主党代表团”。换句话说，以不同的方式绘制单一议员选区是不够的，我们需要重新思考整个地图。 有一些合理的改革可以帮助解决问题。放弃单一议员选区，转向比例代表制，将迫使民主党和共和党在更多选区竞争，鼓励其他候选人参选，并提高投票率，因为选民有实际的选择权。比例代表制下，选区的划分也很难操纵。 好消息是，在美国和许多其他国家，这些改革可以通过简单的法律变更来实现。在州一级，宪法修正案允许选民通过投票来修改宪法。 比例代表制曾经被尝试过。内战后，伊利诺伊州使用了一种部分比例代表制超过一百年。州议会代表是从三个成员组成的选区中选出的，大致按投票比例分配。如果一名候选人能够获得超过四分之一的选票，他们通常可以赢得一个选区中的一个席位。伊利诺伊州的经验印证了其他实行比例代表制的民主国家——选举通常更加具有代表性，少数民族能够获得与其人数相符的代表权。不幸的是，伊利诺伊州在 1980 年废除了其比例投票制度，州议会选举中无人竞争的比例从那时的 50% 上升到今年的 70%。 许多美国人对选举制度感到愤怒。他们不信任我们的民主制度。他们厌倦了选举制度提供的选择，或者说是缺乏选择。但事情不一定要这样。问题是：人们是否足够愤怒，以至于能够通过改革——比如比例代表制——来进行一些重大改变，最终解决问题？ 我们的民主可能取决于答案。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。

The three-day Fair attracted over 8,200 trade buyers from 61 countries and regions. Yesterday’s public day attracted over 10,000 visitors aged 18 and above, who enjoyed fine alcoholic beverages from around the world and participated in master classes, tasting sessions, and seminars in the Wine Fiesta zone. This reflects the Fair’s important role as a trade and promotional platform.Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year's Fair has attracted over 8,200 trade buyers. The number of buyers from some countries and regions increased, including ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China and more. Global buyers are keen to come to Hong Kong to participate in the Wine and Spirits Fair, promoting Hong Kong as a regional trading hub for wines and spirits.”Ms Chong added: “The latest Policy Address announced a lower duty rate for liquor, which is expected to enhance the trade of high-end spirits. More than one quarter of exhibitors at the Fair brought spirits from around the world, including Chinese baijiu, whisky, vodka, brandy and more. We are glad to see that so many exhibitors and buyers interacted with each other, seizing the business opportunities brought about by the new policy.”Importers, wholesalers, retailers and e-commerce buyers who attended the Fair included: Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies from the United Kingdom; Grupo Alpom Importaciones SL from Spain; Le Clos (MMI) from the United Arab Emirates; ASC Fine Wine (Shanghai) Ltd, Beijing WJ E-Commerce Co, Ltd. and Vinehoo (Chongqing) Co. Ltd. from Mainland China; Mercian Corporation from Japan; Thevincsr from Korea; Luen Heng F&B Sdn Bhd from Malaysia; Wine Creek Pte Ltd. from Singapore; Thai Beverage Distribution Co Ltd from Thailand; Phu & EM Group from Vietnam and more.Trading and marketing opportunities for spirits exhibitorsThis year’s Fair showcased a wide selection of Chinese baijiu from various regions, including Moutai and Zhenjiu from Guizhou, Fenjiu from Shanxi and “Zhongmao” from Sichuan. Exhibitors are capitalising on the Government's reduction in liquor duty to expand their business opportunities.Guizhou Jin Jiao Liquor Industry (Group) Co,. Ltd which specialises in high-end Chinese baijiu, reached a strategic agreement with Hong Kong distributor Wines up Shoppers Group. Guizhou Jin Jiao Liquor’s CEO Xu Xinzhou said that the anticipated collaboration amount is expected to reach at least RMB10 million in one year, helping the company expand its overseas market. Matthew Lun, CEO from Wines up Shoppers, said, “Chinese baijiu holds significant potential in the global Chinese market. We plan to capitalise on the Government’s recent reduction in liquor tax to tap into this market and promote Chinese baijiu, a traditional cultural product, throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.” Guizhou Jin Jiao also identified another Hong Kong buyer through the Fair, aiming to distribute its baijiu in Hong Kong. The two parties will negotiate a first-year business agreement valued at around RMB2 million.Irish whiskey exhibitor Clonakilty Distillery Ltd made its first appearance at the Fair. Company founder Michael Scully said that they have identified about 30 potential buyers from around the world within a day and a half. “The slashing of liquor tax is excellent news, demonstrating to the world that Hong Kong is dedicated to establishing itself as a trading hub for premium wines and spirits in Asia,” he said.“We met a major buyer who distributes alcoholic beverages in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, and we expect him to place an initial order of around EUR100,000 in which some of the high-end whiskies will benefit from the new taxation and enjoy a lower tax rate while being imported to Hong Kong. We believe that the tax reduction has significantly increased the interest of buyers.” Mr Scully also estimated that he could secure orders worth approximately EUR1 million within a few years through the Fair.50 events were held during the Fair, with 12 of these related to spirits. At a seminar themed "A Review and Outlook of the HK Spirits Market (Taste Changes and Taxation)", speakers noted that Hong Kong's reduction of duty on high-end spirits has prompted many businesses in the industry to immediately lower their prices, which helps stimulate demand for spirits.The Fair also presented fine wines from Mainland China, including wines from Ningxia, Yantai in Shandong, Xinjiang and Yunnan, as well as yellow wine from Shaoxing. Chateau Xianghai, a wine exhibitor from Xinjiang, connected with potential buyers from the United States as well as Malaysia and Vietnam from the ASEAN Region. The company’s General Manager Guo Cong said, “The Fair is an international platform providing us with numerous opportunities to expand into overseas markets.”Diverse fine wines and spirits to meet buyer demandTo meet consumers' and buyers’ diverse preferences for alcoholic beverages, the Fair presented an extensive selection of global offerings. These included Old World wines from the Czech Republic, France, Germany and Italy, and New World wines from Australia, South Africa and the United States, as well as whiskey from Ireland.

THAYA's Chief Operating Officer, Ing. Vit Travnicek said, “The Sommeliers’ Picks is a great initiative.

He plans to purchase products worth approximately US$50,000, including Japanese sake and wines from Italy and Georgia.Seminars explored consumer demands and sustainable developmentA seminar hosted by Master of Wine Debra Meiburg explored consumption trends and preferences among Gen Z and millennials, an emerging consumer group. Industry representatives speaking at the event noted that young adults have a strong preference for cocktails. The vibrant colours of cocktails are perfect for sharing on social media, allowing the industry to achieve significant promotional results.Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) Concepts crafted a special cocktail, HK & Suit, for yesterday's public day. Many visitors tried it, fostering a lively atmosphere.Sustainability has become a significant industry trend. At a seminar on promoting sustainable wine, a renowned sommelier and alcoholic beverage manufacturer emphasised that providing information on sustainable wine and spirits-making would enhance consumer confidence in the market.Under the EXHIBITION+ hybrid mode, buyers could use the Scan2Match function of the HKTDC Marketplace App to scan exhibitors’ unique QR codes during the physical exhibition.

Vibrant trade at Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair

November 10, 2024
- The three-day Fair concluded yesterday, attracting some 8,200 trade buyers from 61 countries and regions- 50 events and conferences held during the Fair helped facilitate trade and business networking - A lower duty rate for liquor, announced in the latest Policy Address, helps promote emerging Chinese baijiu to the international marketHONG KONG, Nov 10, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The 16th Hong Kong International Wine & Spirits Fair, organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), concluded yesterday. The three-day Fair attracted some 8,200 trade buyers from 61 countries and regions. Yesterday’s public day attracted some 10,000 visitors aged 18 and above, who enjoyed fine alcoholic beverages from around the world and participated in master classes, tasting sessions, and seminars in the Wine Fiesta zone. This reflects the Fair’s important role as a trade and promotional platform.Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “This year's Fair has attracted more than 8,200 trade buyers. The number of buyers from some countries and regions increased, including ASEAN countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as Japan, Taiwan, Mainland China and more. Global buyers are keen to come to Hong Kong to participate in the Wine and Spirits Fair, promoting Hong Kong as a regional trading hub for wines and spirits.”Ms Chong added: “The latest Policy Address announced a lower duty rate for liquor, which is expected to enhance the trade of high-end spirits. More than one quarter of exhibitors at the Fair brought spirits from around the world, including Chinese baijiu, whisky, vodka, brandy and more. We are glad to see that so many exhibitors and buyers interacted with each other, seizing the business opportunities brought about by the new policy.”Importers, wholesalers, retailers and e-commerce buyers who attended the Fair included: Awin Barratt Siegel Wine Agencies from the United Kingdom; Grupo Alpom Importaciones SL from Spain; Le Clos (MMI) from the United Arab Emirates; ASC Fine Wine (Shanghai) Ltd, Beijing WJ E-Commerce Co, Ltd. and Vinehoo (Chongqing) Co. Ltd. from Mainland China; Mercian Corporation from Japan; Thevincsr from Korea; Luen Heng F&B Sdn Bhd from Malaysia; Wine Creek Pte Ltd. from Singapore; Thai Beverage Distribution Co Ltd from Thailand; Phu & EM Group from Vietnam and more.Trading and marketing opportunities for spirits exhibitorsThis year’s Fair showcased a wide selection of Chinese baijiu from various regions, including Moutai and Zhenjiu from Guizhou, Fenjiu from Shanxi and “Zhongmao” from Sichuan. Exhibitors are capitalising on the Government's reduction in liquor duty to expand their business opportunities.Guizhou Jin Jiao Liquor Industry (Group) Co,. Ltd which specialises in high-end Chinese baijiu, reached a strategic agreement with Hong Kong distributor Wines up Shoppers Group. Guizhou Jin Jiao Liquor’s CEO Xu Xinzhou said that the anticipated collaboration amount is expected to reach at least RMB10 million in one year, helping the company expand its overseas market. Matthew Lun, CEO from Wines up Shoppers, said, “Chinese baijiu holds significant potential in the global Chinese market. We plan to capitalise on the Government’s recent reduction in liquor tax to tap into this market and promote Chinese baijiu, a traditional cultural product, throughout Southeast Asia and beyond.” Guizhou Jin Jiao also identified another Hong Kong buyer through the Fair, aiming to distribute its baijiu in Hong Kong. The two parties will negotiate a first-year business agreement valued at around RMB2 million.Irish whiskey exhibitor Clonakilty Distillery Ltd made its first appearance at the Fair. Company founder Michael Scully said that they have identified about 30 potential buyers from around the world within a day and a half. “The slashing of liquor tax is excellent news, demonstrating to the world that Hong Kong is dedicated to establishing itself as a trading hub for premium wines and spirits in Asia,” he said.“We met a major buyer who distributes alcoholic beverages in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, and we expect him to place an initial order of around EUR100,000 in which some of the high-end whiskies will benefit from the new taxation and enjoy a lower tax rate while being imported to Hong Kong. We believe that the tax reduction has significantly increased the interest of buyers.” Mr Scully also estimated that he could secure orders worth approximately EUR1 million within a few years through the Fair.50 events were held during the Fair, with 12 of these related to spirits. At a seminar themed "A Review and Outlook of the HK Spirits Market (Taste Changes and Taxation)", speakers noted that Hong Kong's reduction of duty on high-end spirits has prompted many businesses in the industry to immediately lower their prices, which helps stimulate demand for spirits.The Fair also presented fine wines from Mainland China, including wines from Ningxia, Yantai in Shandong, Xinjiang and Yunnan, as well as yellow wine from Shaoxing. Chateau Xianghai, a wine exhibitor from Xinjiang, connected with potential buyers from the United States as well as Malaysia and Vietnam from the ASEAN Region. The company’s General Manager Guo Cong said, “The Fair is an international platform providing us with numerous opportunities to expand into overseas markets.”Diverse fine wines and spirits to meet buyer demandTo meet consumers' and buyers’ diverse preferences for alcoholic beverages, the Fair presented an extensive selection of global offerings. These included Old World wines from the Czech Republic, France, Germany and Italy, and New World wines from Australia, South Africa and the United States, as well as whiskey from Ireland. There were also dedicated buyers for sake, gin, plum wine and shochu from Japan, along with tequila from Mexico.Participating for the first time in the Wine and Spirits Fair, Czech exhibitor THAYA vinarstvi, spol. s r.o. engaged with around 50 buyers in just one day and a half, with over 10 showing potential for collaboration. THAYA's Chief Operating Officer, Ing. Vit Travnicek said, “The Sommeliers’ Picks is a great initiative. One of our white wines is featured on the list, and several buyers came specifically to source based on the list.”He also mentioned that the company has just started to explore the Asian market. They have successfully connected with potential buyers from Mainland China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Japan, Singapore and Vietnam during their very first time at the Fair, "We participate in eight wine exhibitions each year, and this one stands out as the most international."Sambath Sothea, CEO of Auskhmer Import Export Co., Ltd, a buyer from Cambodia, stated that he has a fruitful experience at the Fair and has identified four potential suppliers. He plans to purchase products worth approximately US$50,000, including Japanese sake and wines from Italy and Georgia.Seminars explored consumer demands and sustainable developmentA seminar hosted by Master of Wine Debra Meiburg explored consumption trends and preferences among Gen Z and millennials, an emerging consumer group. Industry representatives speaking at the event noted that young adults have a strong preference for cocktails. The vibrant colours of cocktails are perfect for sharing on social media, allowing the industry to achieve significant promotional results.Lan Kwai Fong (LKF) Concepts crafted a special cocktail, HK & Suit, for yesterday's public day. Many visitors tried it, fostering a lively atmosphere.Sustainability has become a significant industry trend. At a seminar on promoting sustainable wine, a renowned sommelier and alcoholic beverage manufacturer emphasised that providing information on sustainable wine and spirits-making would enhance consumer confidence in the market.Under the EXHIBITION+ hybrid mode, buyers could use the Scan2Match function of the HKTDC Marketplace App to scan exhibitors’ unique QR codes during the physical exhibition.

(SeaPRwire) - 华盛顿——总统乔·拜登将在周三（星期六）与当选总统唐纳德·特朗普在椭圆形办公室举行传统的选举后会面。 这种会面是卸任总统与新任总统之间的惯例，部分目的是标志着美国民主制度下和平权力移交的开始。 但特朗普，一位共和党人，在 2020 年大选中输掉连任竞选后，没有与拜登，一位民主党人，举行会面。 特朗普四年后再次竞选总统，本周他击败了民主党副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯。特朗普是自 1892 年格罗弗·克利夫兰重新入主白宫以来，第一位重返权力的前总统。 白宫表示，拜登在上周三致电特朗普，祝贺他并邀请他到椭圆形办公室会面。 拜登在周四的讲话中表示，他向特朗普保证“我会指示我的整个政府与他的团队合作，确保和平有序的权力交接。这是美国人民应得的。” 他们即将举行的会面定于上午 11 点。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。

谁决定谁领导美国卫生机构？ Latest News

谁决定谁领导美国卫生机构？

November 9, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 关于当选总统特朗普将在第二任期采取的行动，人们一直在争论不休，其中最突出的问题之一就是医疗保健。作为监督了新冠肺炎疫情应对的总统——公共卫生专家认为，除了疫苗的研发外，应对措施在很多方面都存在不足——特朗普已经就美国医疗保健系统在他的领导下将会是什么样子做出了广泛的声明。 他承诺要“让美国再次健康”，并允许长期疫苗批评者罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 (Robert F. Kennedy) Jr.“在健康方面放手去做。我会让他在食品方面放手去做。我会让他在药物方面放手去做，”特朗普在选举前的几周内说道。 特朗普批评了他认为存在于主要政府卫生机构的腐败行为：从美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC)——全球最受尊敬的传染病机构之一；到美国食品药品监督管理局 (FDA)——负责监督药物审批和食品安全；再到美国国立卫生研究院 (NIH)——世界上最大的公共生物医学研究机构。 正如他在第一届政府中所做的那样，特朗普拥有相当大的权力来任命与他观点一致的领导人，并有可能改变医疗保健方面的政策和做法。以下是特朗普第二次掌权后需要关注的机构和职位。 卫生与公众服务部长 (HHS) 这个内阁级职位至关重要，因为 HHS 负责监督 FDA 和 CDC。HHS 负责许多项目，包括儿童保育的社会项目、儿童健康和预防措施，包括疫苗接种、孕产妇健康项目、心理健康和药物滥用项目，以及针对老年人和残疾人的项目。 2022 年，拜登总统签署了《通货膨胀削减法案》，该法案允许部长从 2026 年开始与制药公司直接协商，为某些药物降低价格。 部长由总统任命，并必须经参议院确认，参议院目前由共和党占多数。内阁成员由总统任命和解聘，大多数新任总统都会任命新的部长加入他们的政府。 NIH 主任 NIH 主任由总统任命，并经参议院确认，但并非每次政府更迭时都会更换。例如，弗朗西斯·柯林斯 (Francis Collins) 博士在三位总统任期内担任主任，直到 2021 年退休。1971 年之前，NIH 主任由总外科医生任命。 NIH 管理着世界上最大的公共生物医学研究预算，为 470 亿美元。NIH 包括 27 个研究所或中心，专注于在衰老、癌症、药物滥用和传染病等领域进行研究和发现。许多重要的治疗方法诞生于 NIH 实验室或由 NIH 资助的学术实验室，然后由制药行业进一步开发（包括为 COVID-19 疫苗做出贡献的基本发现）。 FDA 局长 FDA 局长由总统任命，并必须经参议院确认。该机构负责批准包括疫苗和医疗器械在内的新的药物，以及监督食品安全，包括进行检查和监管进口食品。在 COVID-19 大流行期间，FDA 在审查数据和权衡新疫苗技术（mRNA）与新型 SARS-CoV-2 病毒的风险和益处方面发挥了核心作用。 虽然该职位没有任期限制，但大多数新任总统都会任命自己的局长。 CDC 主任 CDC 主任由总统任命，2025 年将首次需要经参议院确认，这是 2022 年通过的一项国会法律的结果。 许多特朗普的支持者批评了 CDC 在应对 COVID-19 大流行方面的做法，特别是口罩和疫苗接种令。他们还认为，该机构目前的职责范围过于广泛，涵盖了工作场所安全和气候变化对健康的影响。 医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心 (CMS) 管理员 CMS 管理员在决定为医疗保险和医疗补助资格人群报销哪些药物和治疗方法方面发挥着至关重要的作用，这些人群覆盖了近 1.4 亿美国人。CMS 报销具有先例意义，因为私人保险公司在决定哪些项目需要报销时，通常会遵循 CMS 的决定。 作为《通货膨胀削减法案》的一部分，CMS 负责实施 HHS 部长为医疗保险受益人协商的任何降低药物价格的措施。 管理员也由总统提名，并经参议院确认。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。

COP29 Climate Change Conference Must Address Acute Challenges of Developing Countries Such as Bangladesh – Summit Power International Limited ACN Newswire

COP29 Climate Change Conference Must Address Acute Challenges of Developing Countries Such as Bangladesh – Summit Power International Limited

November 9, 2024
Dhaka, Bangladesh, Nov 9, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The U.N. Climate Change Conference next week needs to urgently address major gaps in funding and technology and adopt fresh approaches to meet the challenges of developing countries with vulnerable communities such as Bangladesh, Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the country’s largest private sector power generation company, said today.Singapore-headquartered SPIL, the leading foreign direct investor in Bangladesh’s power sector, said it hoped the widely anticipated COP29 Climate Change Conference starting 11 November in Azerbaijan will lead to an actionable agenda that can balance global net zero targets with the needs of poorer countries seeking to eradicate poverty and create jobs on an accelerated scale.SPIL operates 18 power plants with a combined capacity of 2,255 MW or approximately 17% of the total installed private power generation capacity in the country of 173 million people. As a responsible company with a strong track record of providing energy and power to Bangladesh, SPIL is acutely aware of the international initiatives to de-carbonise.At COP21 in 2015, 196 countries signed the Paris Agreement with collective commitments to limit global warming. However, subsequent global financing initiatives have been deadlocked. Among the key initiatives of COP29 is a New Collective Quantified Goal to deliver substantive climate financing to regions that need it most.Beyond the pledges, global climate goals must also take into consideration challenges unique to each country, especially the lesser developed, said SPIL. Prior to COP29, SPIL had outlined its internal Climate Action Plan to support Bangladesh’s stated goal (declared at the COP26 in Glasgow in 2021) to achieve up to 40% of clean energy use in its power generation mix by 2041.“Both the national and SPIL’s own de-carbonisation targets have to be viewed against the backdrop of the pandemic and subsequent supply chain disruptions as well as the conflict in Ukraine which drove up prices of fossil fuels. Bangladesh, which has to contend with cyclones and flooding on a regular basis, has felt the impact of such disruptions more acutely than most other countries.“We hope COP29 – whose leaders have promised engagement, ambition, and action – will address decisively real-world issues from the perspective of developing nations and responsible corporates involved in the energy eco-system, such as SPIL. We look forward to holistic approaches that avoid a one-size-fits-all mindset,” SPIL said.SPIL’s Founder and Chairman, Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan, a Singapore citizen, said: “We hope COP29 adopts approaches fairly and equitably to address the social and economic impact, particularly for vulnerable communities and workers in fossil fuel industries in developing countries. A just energy transition must promote circular economy principles that benefit local populations to ensure resilience.Second, international organisations, governments, and corporations must provide funding and technology to support the energy transition. For developing countries such as Bangladesh, such approaches must combine development finance and foreign direct investments.Third, different regions will have different timelines to progress towards net zero. For the near term, Bangladesh’s power sector – which has been facing issues of imbalance of supply and demand and delays in payments – needs to reduce dependence on coal or heavy fuel oil and increase usage of natural gas which is less carbon-intensive, even as it pursues initiatives in renewable energy.”As part of its Climate Action Plan, SPIL has committed not to develop new fuel-fired power plants in Bangladesh. It will also reduce its Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 10% by 2030 as compared to its 2021 baseline and plans to derive 40% of its energy generation portfolio from clean energy sources by 2040. SPIL has also formed a Sustainability Task Force under the leadership of the CEO.While recognising geographical limitations in Bangladesh for large-scale solar or wind farms, SPIL has outlined plans to invest or obtain international financial support for up to USD 3 billion in renewable energy projects in the country.About Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”)SPIL is the largest Independent Power Producer (IPP) in Bangladesh, reflecting 17% of the country's total private installed capacity and 7% of the country’s total installed capacity. SPIL owns and operates a total of 18 power plants with a combined generation capacity of 2,255MW. It also operates Bangladesh’s second Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) and LNG import terminal with daily regasification capacity of 500 million cubic feet.SPIL is a privately-held Singapore-registered company that is 78%-owned by the family of Mr Muhammed Aziz Khan. In 2016 SPIL acquired Bangladesh-registered Summit Corporation Ltd (SCL) in a transaction that was financed primarily by International Finance Corporation, the World Bank’s private sector arm. SCL holds various infrastructure assets in Bangladesh. In 2019, JERA Co., Inc., Japan’s largest power generation company, acquired a 22%-stake in SPIL and remains its second largest shareholder to date.Learn more at: www.summitpowerinternational.com Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688Email: summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

碧昂斯领跑2025年格莱美提名，成为该奖项历史上获得提名最多的艺术家

November 9, 2024
(SeaPRwire) - 纽约——欢迎来到碧昂斯的世界。在2025年格莱美奖提名中，“牛仔卡特”称霸天下。她以11项提名领跑，使她的职业生涯总提名数达到99项，成为格莱美历史上获得提名最多的艺术家。 “牛仔卡特”获得了年度专辑和年度乡村专辑的提名，而“德州扑克”则获得了年度唱片、年度歌曲和年度乡村歌曲的提名。她还获得了众多其他类型的提名，包括流行、乡村、美国民谣和旋律说唱表演类别。 这是她首次获得乡村和美国民谣类别的提名。此前，她和丈夫 Jay-Z 以88项提名并列格莱美历史上获得提名最多的艺术家。 如果碧昂斯赢得年度专辑奖，她将成为21世纪第一位获得该奖项的黑人女性。劳琳·希尔在1999年凭借“劳琳·希尔的音乐教育”获得了该奖项，与娜塔莉·科尔和惠特尼·休斯顿并列成为唯一三位获得格莱美最高奖项的黑人女性。 Post Malone 今年也首次获得了乡村类别的提名，他在8月份发布了他的首张乡村专辑“F-1 Trillion”。该专辑获得了年度乡村专辑的提名，而他和摩根·沃伦合作的“我得到了帮助”则获得了年度乡村歌曲和年度乡村二重唱/组合表演的提名。这是沃伦首次获得格莱美提名。 Malone 以七项提名紧随碧昂斯之后，与比莉·艾利什、肯德里克·拉马尔和查理·XCX 并列，后者作为独立艺术家首次获得提名。 拉马尔在与德雷克的矛盾中发布的无处不在的diss歌曲“不像我们”获得了年度唱片、年度歌曲、最佳说唱歌曲、音乐视频以及最佳说唱表演的提名。他在这最后一个类别中获得了两个同时的提名，这是他职业生涯中的第一次：Future & Metro Boomin 与拉马尔合作的“像那样”获得了最佳说唱表演和最佳说唱歌曲的提名。 这是他第三次获得两个最佳说唱歌曲的提名。 泰勒·斯威夫特以及首次获得提名的萨布丽娜·卡彭特和查佩尔·罗安各自获得了六项提名。 去年，女艺术家在主要类别中占据主导地位。今年，这种情况有所延续，但主要趋势似乎是类型多样化。在年度专辑类别中，除了“牛仔卡特”之外，还有 André 3000 的新时代、另类爵士乐专辑“新蓝太阳”以及多乐器演奏家雅各布·科利尔的“Djesse Vol. 4”。冉冉升起的流行明星卡彭特和罗安分别凭借“短而甜蜜”和“中西部公主的兴衰”获得了提名，此外还有斯威夫特的“受折磨的诗人部门”，艾利什的“狠狠地打我，温柔地打我”以及查理·XCX 的狂欢风格专辑“BRAT”。 艾利什是唯一一位前三张专辑都获得了年度专辑提名的艺术家。 去年，斯威夫特凭借“午夜”获得了年度专辑奖，打破了该类别四次获奖的纪录。今年，她成为该类别历史上第一位获得七次提名的女性。 “一般领域中所展现出的类型广泛性和多样性让人耳目一新，非常令人兴奋，”录音学院首席执行官兼总裁哈维·梅森小说道。他将这一成功归功于一个活跃且不断进化的投票团体。“我们在审视并试图重新平衡我们成员的方式上非常刻意。因此，不仅仅是性别或有色人种，还有不同的种族构成，还有类型公平，试图确保来自不同地区和不同地点的各种类型的音乐都能得到尽可能多的体现。” 只有在2023年9月16日至2024年8月30日期间在美国商业发行并符合资格的录音作品才能获得提名。格莱美投票的最后一轮将从12月12日持续到1月3日，以确定最终的获奖者。 在最佳新人类别中，卡彭特和罗安将正面交锋，竞争对手还有本森·布恩、Doechii、Khruangbin、RAYE、Shaboozey 和泰迪·斯威姆斯。 在年度歌曲类别中，碧昂斯与艾利什的“羽毛鸟”、斯威夫特和 Post Malone 的“两周”，罗安的“祝你好运，宝贝！”，卡彭特的“求求你，求求你”，拉马尔的“不像我们”， Lady Gaga 和布鲁诺·马尔斯 的“带着笑容死去”以及 Shaboozey 的“酒吧歌曲（微醺）”并列。 Shaboozey 也是首次获得提名。他的“酒吧歌曲（微醺）”是今年最受欢迎的歌曲，在公告牌百强单曲榜上停留的时间比其他任何歌曲都长——它非常受欢迎，该歌曲的混音版也获得了混音录音的提名。 除此之外，Shaboozey 还凭借在碧昂斯的“SPAGHETTII”中的客串演出获得了旋律说唱表演类别的提名。琳达·马特尔，这位乡村乐界第一位商业上成功的黑人女性音乐家，也出现在这首歌曲中，为这位83岁的艺术家带来了她的第一个格莱美提名。 在年度唱片类别中，“德州扑克”将与斯威夫特和 Post Malone 的“两周”，艾利什的“羽毛鸟”，拉马尔的“不像我们”，罗安的“祝你好运，宝贝！”，卡彭特的“浓缩咖啡”，查理·XCX 的“360”以及披头士乐队最后一首新歌、由人工智能辅助创作的“现在和那时”竞争。 “我们正在努力确保我们能跟上音乐创作者和我们社区如何使用技术。在这种情况下，人工智能增强了唱片，并使其有资格获得相应的类别，”梅森小说道。 那么，缺失了什么？与去年一样，在所有类别中，拉丁音乐——美国增长最快的流媒体类型——严重不足，主要类别中也缺乏代表性。在最佳墨西哥音乐专辑类别中也只有四项提名，尽管它也是增长最快的类型之一。 而且，K-pop 似乎也缺席了。今年发布个人专辑的防弹少年团成员没有获得任何提名：RM 的“正确的地方，错误的人”，J-Hope 的“街上的希望，第一卷”，以及 Jimin 的“缪斯”。作为男子组合，防弹少年团在职业生涯中获得了五项提名。 “我确实认为在很多类型中还有改进的空间，我们正在继续邀请人们加入学院，”梅森小说道。“没有合适的代表，我们就得不到合适的结果。当我说合适时，我的意思是反映和代表今天音乐界正在发生的事情。因此，这项工作仍在继续。” 2025年格莱美颁奖典礼将于2月2日在美国洛杉矶的加密货币.com体育场现场直播，通过 CBS 和 Paramount+ 播出。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。
