RMB 2 Billion Investment Leverages Approximately RMB 8 Billion in Book Value Gains: Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Enters the Monetization Phase of Its Robotics Investments

HONG KONG, Apr 2, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings’ (0697.HK) investments in the robotics sector are moving from early-stage positioning toward value realization.Management has disclosed that, by the end of 2025, the Company—through multiple industry funds under its management—had cumulatively invested more than RMB 2 billion across the broader robotics industry chain, covering more than 20 companies. According to the Chairman’s Statement for 2025, the valuation of the investment portfolio of the Beijing Robot Industry Development Investment Fund (Limited Partnership) increased by approximately fourfold. On that basis, the corresponding unrealized book gain is estimated at around RMB 8 billion. The robotics business has therefore become one of the most closely watched sources of incremental upside for Shoucheng Holdings in the near term.Based on disclosed projects, Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy is not a series of isolated bets, but rather a systematic deployment across the industry chain. In the field of embodied intelligence and robotics, the Company has made concentrated investments in more than 20 leading companies, including Unitree Robotics, Noetix Robotics, Galbot, DEEP Robotics, Booster Robotics, and Galaxea AI. In the latest Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang characterized this approach as “track-level deployment”.Unlike some purely financial investors, Shoucheng Holdings is advancing its robotics business from simply “holding equity stakes” to “operating an industry”. Following an integrated path of “investment + operations + ecosystem,” the Company is building capabilities centered on “funds + scenarios + industry chain,” providing robotics companies with capital support, application scenarios, supply-chain integration, and commercialization pathways. On the offline channel side, its robotics consumer experience brand, Taozhu New Creation, has established five stores in Beijing, with locations including Shougang Park, Beijing Capital International Airport Terminals 2 and 3, and Wangfujing APM, among other core venues. To date, the Company has signed agreements with nearly 100 robotics companies as authorized agents.Market analysts note that the valuation logic for Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics business is transitioning from book valuations in the primary market toward more observable pricing in the capital markets. As a representative investment within Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics portfolio, Unitree Robotics—together with its IPO progress—provides the market with a clearer anchor for assessing the value of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics assets.From a longer-term perspective, the data points of “more than RMB 2 billion invested, more than 20 companies covered, and portfolio valuation increasing approximately fourfold to around RMB 8 billion” already outline the basic contours of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics strategy:At the front end, the Company secures leading projects through its funds.In the mid-stage, it accelerates commercialization through channels and service systems.At the back end, it opens up exit and re-rating opportunities through IPOs and capital operations.As projects such as Unitree Robotics move into the capital-market spotlight, the book value of Shoucheng Holdings’ robotics investments, its industrial synergy capabilities, and its subsequent monetization path are becoming increasingly clear.

伊朗总统致美国民众公开信 Latest News

伊朗总统致美国民众公开信

(SeaPRwire) - 伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬(Masoud Pezeshkian)向美国公众发表了一封公开信,呼吁他们“看透”他在美以两国针对其国家发动的战争中所称的“虚假信息机器”。“将伊朗描绘成一种威胁,既不符合历史现实,也不符合当今可观察到的事实,”他写道。“这种认知是权势者政治和经济心血来潮的产物——为了证明压力合理、维持军事主导地位、支撑军工产业以及控制战略市场,他们需要制造一个敌人。在这种环境下,如果威胁不存在,它就会被发明出来。”佩泽希齐扬于周三下午在X上分享了这封公开信,此时距离美国和以色列发动导致战争的对伊初步军事打击已过去一个多月。预计唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)总统将于周三晚些时候在对美国公众的演讲中分享有关冲突的最新情况。周三早些时候,特朗普在Truth Social上发帖称,“伊朗新政权总统”已请求停火。据美联社(The Associated Press)报道,伊朗外交部发言人称,特朗普的说法是“虚假且毫无根据的”,伊朗国家电视台也对此进行了报道。佩泽希齐扬在信中没有提及特朗普的说法。但他表示,“伊朗人民对包括美国、欧洲或邻国人民在内的其他国家没有任何敌意。”“尽管伊朗在不同时期拥有历史和地理优势,但在其现代史上,从未选择过侵略、扩张、殖民或统治的道路,”他断言。“即使在忍受了全球大国的占领、入侵和持续压力之后——且尽管在许多邻国面前拥有军事优势——伊朗也从未发动过战争。然而,它却坚定而勇敢地击退了那些攻击它的人。”他接着说,美国在伊朗周边地区部署了大量军事力量,并补充说“最近从这些基地发动的美国侵略行为,已经证明了这种军事存在是多么具有威胁性。”“自然,任何面临这种条件的国家都不会放弃加强其防御能力,”佩泽希齐扬说。“伊朗所做的一切——并将继续做的一切——是基于合法自卫的审慎回应,绝非发动战争或侵略。”佩泽希齐扬质疑这场战争是否真正符合美国人民的利益,并指责美国“作为以色列的代理人”卷入战争。他声称,以色列“通过制造伊朗威胁,试图转移全球对其针对巴勒斯坦人罪行的注意力。”“‘美国优先’(America First)真的是当今美国政府的优先事项吗?”佩泽希齐扬说。“我邀请你们看透虚假信息机器——这是这场侵略不可分割的一部分——转而与那些访问过伊朗的人交谈。观察许多在伊朗受过教育、如今在世界最负盛名的大学任教和从事研究,或为西方最先进的技术公司做出贡献的杰出伊朗移民。这些现实与你们被告知的关于伊朗及其人民的歪曲事实相符吗?”自战争开始以来的几周里,以色列和特朗普政府对发动对伊战争的原因给出了不断变化且有时相互矛盾的解释。但特朗普和政府官员此前否认美国是被以色列推入战争的,美以双方都声称这些打击是防御性或先发制人的,尽管双方都没有分享任何证据表明伊朗当时正准备攻击他们。在初步打击几天后,当被问及以色列领导层是否将美国拖入冲突时,特朗普表示,他决定发动攻击是因为他认为伊朗否则会先动手。“基于谈判的进展方式,我认为他们会先攻击。我不想让这种情况发生。所以,如果说有什么的话,那可能是我迫使以色列采取了行动。但以色列准备好了,我们也准备好了,”特朗普在3月3日说道。民意调查显示,大多数美国人自战争开始以来一直对此表示反对,尽管得到了许多共和党人的支持,但战争在美国依然非常不得人心。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。

新指南建议:吃什么更有益心脏健康 Latest News

新指南建议:吃什么更有益心脏健康

(SeaPRwire) - 3月31日,American Heart Association发布了关于如何遵循心脏健康饮食的新指南。该组织每五年更新一次建议,以反映饮食和营养如何影响心脏健康的最新数据。虽然大部分建议听起来很熟悉,但其中一些内容与最近更新的联邦膳食指南存在冲突。该心脏组织继续支持多吃水果和蔬菜、限制饮酒、减少盐和糖的摄入,并减少(或最好消除)超加工食品。但其最新指南建议减少肉类摄入——这一立场比过去指南中建议的用鸡肉或鱼肉等瘦肉替代红肉更为坚定。指南还建议用坚果、种子和非热带植物中的脂肪替代动物来源的饱和脂肪。“我们特意提出‘转向’更多植物性蛋白质来源,因为我们知道植物性来源通常更健康,”UT Southwestern Medical Center医学教授、预防心脏病学主任兼负责该报告委员会的副主席Amit Khera博士表示。这一建议与联邦膳食指南相冲突,后者强调了红肉的益处,并“优先”考虑摄入更多蛋白质,包括动物来源的蛋白质。虽然联邦指南建议将饱和脂肪的摄入量限制在每日热量的10%以内——这是该心脏组织新建议所呼应的一个长期基准——但美国卫生与公众服务部部长Robert F. Kennedy Jr.在宣布该指南时表示,“我们正在结束对饱和脂肪的战争”。不过,两者也有共同点:联邦膳食指南强调从“全食物来源”摄入健康脂肪,虽然提到了肉类,但也认可鱼类、坚果、种子和牛油果。Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics的首席使命影响与战略官Alison Steiber表示,两种方法存在差异的原因之一是这两套建议针对的人群不同。该心脏组织的指南在某些营养要素(如脂肪和钠,因为两者都是导致高血压的主要因素)上更为严格,因为它们专注于降低心脏病风险。(高血压是心脏问题的一个风险因素。)但由于联邦膳食指南旨在降低普通人群患慢性病(包括心脏病)的风险,因此两套指南在很大程度上是一致的,只是在支持与心脏病特定风险因素相关的营养改变的广泛程度上存在差异。Khera表示,American Heart Association最新指南的目的是帮助人们终生受益于更健康的心脏;这些指南旨在让家庭与幼儿共同遵循。“心脏病始于童年,所以我们需要尽早开始(健康饮食),”他说。“大约60%的儿童饮食不健康,美国五分之一的儿童肥胖。这适用于从一岁开始的任何人,以及整个生命周期——而不仅仅是针对老年人。”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。

Gibraltar sees prediction markets as a substantial area of potential growth. iGame

Gibraltar sees prediction markets as a substantial area of potential growth.

(AsiaGameHub) - Gibraltar is exploring a new path to secure growth as it navigates headwinds brought on by the UK’s decision to raise gambling taxes. Nigel Feetham, the British Overseas Territory’s Minister for Justice, Trade and Industry, told parliament that the government had granted a license to a prediction markets firm, describing the sector as a “substantial area of potential growth” for Gibraltar. Gibraltar’s government lobbied intensely against the UK’s choice to increase online gambling tax, arguing the move would directly hit tax revenues and negatively impact the island’s economy. Nevertheless, UK Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced that remote gaming duty will nearly double to 40%, taking effect from today (1 April). A new 25% general betting duty rate for remote betting will also be rolled out starting April 2027. Feetham stated: “Following the implementation of the recent UK gambling duty hikes, I have taken on more direct responsibility for promoting Gibraltar’s regulatory offering. “There is no space for complacency, nor for unnecessary delays when enabling responsible economic activity in these key sectors. We must keep adapting decisively to a shifting global economic landscape. This is fully aligned with the government’s core strategic goal of economic diversification.” While Feetham has not yet publicly named the licensed firm in question, Predict Street Ltd has been added as a betting intermediary to the official register of approved licensed operators hosted on the Gibraltar government’s website. Per Predict Street’s official site, the company is the official prediction market partner of the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup and is scheduled to launch on 9 April. However, no reference to the company appears anywhere on the official FIFA World Cup website. Prediction market platforms including Kalshi and Polymarket have grown rapidly across the US, providing an alternative to standard online sports betting in states where the traditional vertical is currently prohibited. That rapid rise has been met with controversy, however, as critics argue these platforms are facilitating betting activity illegally. At the same time, a number of countries outside the US, including New Zealand, Australia and the Netherlands, have introduced explicit bans on prediction market operators. As a result, Gibraltar stands out as one of the few jurisdictions outside the US that appears receptive to building a hub for prediction markets, pointing to the significant potential economic benefits the sector can deliver. According to Eilers & Krejcik, prediction markets could see annual trading volumes hit one trillion dollars by 2030, a figure that underscores why Gibraltar is keen to take an open approach to the sector.

Nepal steps up enforcement of online gambling ban iGame

Nepal steps up enforcement of online gambling ban

(AsiaGameHub) - Nepal’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology has initiated steps to enforce the nation's ban on online gambling by blocking access to associated applications and websites. According to reports from The Himalayan Times, these government directives were put into effect over the weekend, with officials implementing previously announced measures. The decision regarding online gambling platforms was finalized during a meeting chaired by Minister for Communications and Information Technology Bikram Timilsina, alongside ministry officials and division heads. Collaborative efforts between the Nepal Telecommunications Authority and the country's internet service providers were instrumental in disabling access to the targeted apps and websites. Crucially, the government is now blocking IP addresses within Nepal to expedite action against any remaining operators, aiming to prevent the growth of a black market under stricter domestic regulations. Prior to this ban, Nepal had a considerable grey market for online gambling, which had been experiencing a rise in user engagement. Reports indicate that this market was expanding at an approximate rate of 10% annually, largely driven by increased mobile phone usage and significant improvements in data quality. This action follows India's recent decision to enact the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gambling Bill 2025, which prohibits the promotion of real-money gaming due to its perceived negative societal consequences. It is suggested that a substantial number of Nepalese individuals engaged in gambling through Indian betting platforms, and the two countries share interconnected payment systems. India also moved swiftly to prevent its residents from participating in illegal gambling, establishing the Online Gaming Authority of India under the Electronics and IT Ministry to oversee enforcement and identify illicit activities. The Indian government has also confirmed that repeat offenders who violate the ban could face imprisonment and fines. Want to hear more stories like this?

UKGC Announces April Deadlines for Key Gambling Review Evaluations iGame

UKGC Announces April Deadlines for Key Gambling Review Evaluations

(AsiaGameHub) - The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has informed gambling licensees and other interested parties about two approaching deadlines concerning its assessment of regulations. The initial deadline is for the conclusion of the Commission's consultation regarding revisions to the Destination of Regulatory Settlements, set for April 2nd. This consultation is part of the regulator's adaptations subsequent to the implementation of the statutory levy, which is scheduled for April 2025 as a key provision of the Gambling Review's White Paper, High Stakes: Gambling Reform for the Digital Age. A re-evaluation of existing procedures was deemed essential because financial penalties levied by the UKGC are deposited into the UK's Consolidated Fund. Nevertheless, regulatory settlements and payments made instead of formal penalties have traditionally taken a different route, frequently supporting research, prevention, and treatment (RPT) programs independent of central government bodies. This approach has now become outdated due to the cessation of GambleAware's operations and the shift to a statutory levy framework. The levy consolidates RPT funding under designated public entities, bringing in more rigorous supervision, alignment, and assessment of fund distribution. Consequently, the UKGC has put forward a proposal to amend its Statement of Principles for Determining Financial Penalties, aiming to ensure that regulatory settlements correspond with financial penalties. The Commission suggests that all subsequent regulatory settlements should be paid directly into the Consolidated Fund, thereby guaranteeing uniformity, promptness, and governmental scrutiny of funds from enforcement actions. This initiative seeks to prevent the emergence of separate funding mechanisms alongside the statutory levy. In addition to this consultation, the UKGC has also noted advancements in the assessment of the Gambling Act Review (GAR). This evaluation is being carried out by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen), which reports to the DCMS. Operators have been asked to take part in an online survey and subsequent interviews to offer their insights on how GAR reforms are being applied in practice. Important aspects under consideration include checks for financial vulnerability, limits on stakes for online slots, and incentives promoting social responsibility. The survey concludes on April 10th, and the Commission is urging widespread involvement to assist in shaping future regulatory improvements. Collectively, these two deadlines signify a crucial milestone for UK gambling policy. The consultation on regulatory settlements indicates the concluding stages of harmonizing enforcement procedures with the statutory levy, whereas the GAR evaluation aims to gauge the practical effects of one of the most extensive reform initiatives in the industry's recent past. For the industry, April represents more than just a procedural landmark; it signifies a shift from putting measures into effect to examining them, as regulators and the government start to evaluate the practical effectiveness of the UK's updated gambling framework.

Examining the key players as Alberta confirms its iGaming launch date iGame

Examining the key players as Alberta confirms its iGaming launch date

(AsiaGameHub) - Potential operators have been alerted following Alberta's confirmation that its regulated online gambling sector is set to commence operations on July 13. Becoming Canada's second regulated jurisdiction alongside Ontario, the province has seen several major industry players confirm plans to enter a market projected to generate more than $700m annually. PointsBet and Caesars Entertainment have already initiated pre-registration processes for residents of Alberta prior to the official launch. Simultaneously, operators including BetMGM, DraftKings, FanDuel, and Betway have announced their entry into the market to expand their existing footprint in Canada. For Betway and its parent firm, Super Group, the primary task involves shifting players from their unregulated offerings to the new regulated platform. Before this regulatory framework, Play Alberta was the sole entity legally permitted to provide iGaming products. Nevertheless, it is believed that 70% of Alberta's gamblers participated in the unregulated market. In a February address to investors, Neal Menashe, CEO of Super Group, remarked: “It is known that Alberta is moving toward regulation. We are prepared, having drawn lessons from Ontario regarding the migration of customers from our dot.com operations. “We have improved our offerings for the rest of Canada as well as Ontario. These enhancements will be integrated into our Alberta product. Once the regulations are finalized and we are set to launch, we will proceed in Alberta.” Menashe also anticipated a more cautious strategy from Super Group’s rivals than was seen during Ontario's market opening, which was characterized by significant early marketing spend. Separately, DraftKings has designated funds for its Alberta expansion. Meanwhile, Flutter, the parent company of FanDuel, has factored the Alberta launch into its 2026 guidance for US operations, forecasting a 12% year-over-year revenue increase to $7.8bn. “We are entering 2026 from a position of strength, ready to leverage the sustained robust growth anticipated in the iGaming sector,” Flutter informed its investors. Significantly absent from the roster of confirmed entrants is bet365, which has yet to indicate its plans for the region. However, considering its existing operations in Ontario and its focus on North American expansion, Alberta likely represents a promising prospect for the UK-based operator. The operational framework of Alberta's market will be recognizable to many established operators due to its close resemblance to Ontario's model. A 20% tax on gross gaming revenue will be applied to operators, mirroring Ontario's rate, with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) serving as the regulatory body. This contrasts with the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which regulates that province. Additionally, the Alberta iGaming Corporation (AiGC) will function as a distinct conduct and management agency, fulfilling a role similar to that of iGaming Ontario. Central regulations for the new market prioritize social responsibility and player safety, implementing stringent rules regarding permissible advertising scope. Upon launch, Alberta players will gain access to a provincial self-exclusion registry as well as tools for setting financial and time limits. “In this new regulated environment, the protection of players and social responsibility are central to our operations,” stated a letter reviewed by iGaming Expert and authored by Dale Nally, the Minister of Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction, who oversees iGaming. “The introduction of a regulated iGaming market marks an exciting milestone for our province. I am confident that by collaborating, we can establish a market that is both competitive and socially responsible. The future of iGaming in Alberta is promising, and with your cooperation, we will ensure its success for all stakeholders.” In addition to the major operators previously noted, domestic and North American-centric brands like BetRivers, the ScoreBet, and NorthStar Gaming have declared declared their intention to apply for registration in Alberta. While many anticipated a market opening in the second quarter of 2026, Nally explained that the decision to delay until July was made in response to operator feedback indicating a need for additional time to meet the new market's compliance standards.

Honda Makes Gachaco a Consolidated Subsidiary by Subscribing to New Shares of Gachaco Issued Through Third-party Allotment JCN Newswire

Honda Makes Gachaco a Consolidated Subsidiary by Subscribing to New Shares of Gachaco Issued Through Third-party Allotment

TOKYO, Japan, Apr 1, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (Honda) today announced that it has subscribed to new shares of Gachaco, Inc. (Gachaco) issued through a third-party allotment (“this transaction”), thereby making Gachaco a consolidated subsidiary of Honda.Gachaco was established in April 2022 as a joint venture of five companies in Japan — Honda, ENEOS Holdings, Kawasaki Motors, Ltd., Suzuki Motor Corporation and Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. — to provide a sharing service of standardized swappable batteries for electric motorcycles and to establish and maintain infrastructure for such sharing services.Since October 2022, Gachaco has been installing Gachaco battery swapping stations primarily in Tokyo, where electric motorcycle users with a Gachaco membership can efficiently swap a depleted battery for a fully charged one whenever needed, without any waiting time for charging. The company has rolled out the service in urban areas of Tokyo, starting with corporate customers and, in January 2024, the service was expanded to individual customers as well. Gachaco has been building out its infrastructure to create an environment where anyone can use electric motorcycles without worrying about charging time and riding range. Currently, the company is expanding its network of Gachaco stations, primarily in Tokyo and Osaka, while also pursuing the establishment of a next-generation energy infrastructure that contributes to a decarbonized and circular society.Honda is striving to achieve carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050, and one of the key initiatives toward this goal is the popularization of electric mobility products. In addition to expanding the lineup of electric models, Honda believes that it is important to build battery charging and supply networks so that people can use their electric motorcycles with peace of mind; therefore, Honda has been considering Gachaco as an important partner for realizing such a future. Going forward, in order to continue to enhance the usage environment for electric motorcycle products, Honda realized that a motorcycle manufacturer needs to take the lead in this initiative. Based on this reasoning, Honda has decided to acquire additional shares in Gachaco.As a subsidiary of Honda, Gachaco will further accelerate its ongoing initiatives to build battery charging and supply networks and work to expand its battery sharing service for users of electric construction machinery and equipment powered by swappable batteries. In addition, Gachaco will work to offer rental and maintenance services for battery swapping stations to be installed on the premises of business facilities of corporate customers with large fleets of electric motorcycles. Through these initiatives, Honda will lead the growth of Gachaco business and establish an environment where more customers can use electric mobility products safely with complete peace of mind.Overview of the transactionClass of subscribed sharesCommon shares of Gachaco Inc.Number of subscribed shares340,000 sharesAmount to be paid340,000,000 yenHonda shareholding ratio after the transaction47%About GachacoCompany nameGachaco Inc.Location4F, THE CORNER Shibakoen,2-8-2 Shibakoen, Minato-ku, Tokyo 1050011, JapanEstablishedApril 1, 2022RepresentativeMasahide Hirose, PresidentShareholdersHonda Motor Co., Ltd.,ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo Kaisha*,Suzuki Motor Corporation,Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.,Kawasaki Motors, Ltd.,BusinessOperation of battery charging/swapping stations to achieve widespread useand broader applications of standardized swappable batteries*ENEOS Holdings, Inc. has invested in Gachaco through its investment company, ENEOS Innovation Partners Godo KaishaGachaco station Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

“混乱区”断舍离法有效吗?这是你需要知道的 Latest News

“混乱区”断舍离法有效吗?这是你需要知道的

(SeaPRwire) - 把家里搞得更乱似乎并不是让居所变得整洁有序的最高效方式,但如今在社交媒体上走红的“混乱区”整理法,倡导的恰恰是这种做法。尽管这种方法热度很高,专家表示它并非适用于所有人的万能方案。实际上,它是否有效和你选择的整理区域关系不大,更关键的是你大脑对混乱的先天反应模式。什么是“混乱区”整理法?混乱整理法的操作流程是这样的:把某个特定区域(比如食品储藏柜)里的所有东西都倒出来堆成一大堆,制造出一个你根本没法视而不见的混乱场面。你总不能把一堆意面、香料和泡打粉都堆在地上直接转身走人,这种场景会催生必须解决问题的紧迫感,这也是它对部分人群有吸引力的原因。 “整个理论本质上是一个能让你坚持下去的心理技巧,而且确实有效。”收纳整理专家马特·帕克斯顿表示,他是Discovery Channel真人秀Filthy Fortunes的主持人,同时也是《留住回忆,扔掉杂物》(Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff)一书的作者。收纳专家卡桑德拉·阿伦森表示自己对这种方法“又爱又恨”,她指出,这种方法通常对家居环境原本就相对整洁的人群最为有效——这类人平时会保持台面整洁,但往往忽略了柜门背后的储物空间。 如果你想知道这种方法是否适合自己,不妨问问自己这个问题:你家的厨房台面现在是什么样子?“如果台面非常干净,因为你每天晚上都会想‘我必须把这些东西清理干净,不然我会觉得非常焦虑’,那么混乱整理法可能对你有效。”阿伦森说道,她曾出演HGTV的节目Hot Mess House ,同时是播客Clutterbug的主持人。“观察家里这些你每天都会接触、看到的高频使用区域,能很好地帮你判断自己是不是会被混乱激发行动力的人。”阿伦森的丈夫是个逻辑清晰、注重细节、热爱分类整理工作的人,是混乱整理法的理想适用者。“对他来说,面对一大堆需要分类的物品是件很顺手的事,”她表示,“他会有动力去处理那堆乱七八糟的东西,因为他不想看着那堆乱东西,而且他想要从混乱中理出秩序。”她补充道,这就是混乱区整理法的核心前提:故意制造暂时的混乱,来激励自己处理那些一直拖延的整理任务。哪些人不适合这种方法并不是所有人的大脑都适合应对刻意制造的混乱。对于那些家里已经杂乱无章、失去控制的人来说,制造更多混乱反而会适得其反。“如果一个人本来就生活在混乱里,强迫他们面对更多混乱是不会有效果的,”阿伦森说,“他们本来就面对着一堆乱七八糟的东西,如果这能激发他们行动的话,早就已经起作用了。”额外增加的杂乱不仅不会激发行动,反而会加重不知所措的感觉,尤其是如果你没法一次性完成整理任务的话。“你能做的最糟糕的事就是开启一个你完不成的项目,”阿伦森说,“只有完成任务才能让你获得多巴胺。哪怕你花了两个小时在这件事上,如果你没做完,就得不到这种奖励。”有些人会因为看到杂乱的场景充满动力,另一些人却只会因此感到畏惧。对后者来说,制造更大的混乱——哪怕只是暂时的——也不会促使他们行动,只会让他们陷入停滞。“如果混乱没法激发你的动力,那它就不会逼你行动,只会让你更加不知所措。”阿伦森说道。换句话说,同样的策略可能让一个人动力满满,却让另一个人直接放弃。“我家里有一个衣柜,一直都有点乱,但如果我把所有东西都掏出来,就会迫使我采取行动,我没法再无视它了,”她说,“但如果是对我的孩子们,他们本来就生活在乱糟糟的环境里,再增加混乱只会让他们招架不住。”如何尝试这种方法又不会让情况变得更糟哪怕是非常适合混乱整理法的人,能不能成功用这种方法整理也要看操作方式。最重要的原则是控制整理的范围。先从整理一个杂物抽屉、浴室的某一层架子,或者食品柜的某一个区域(比如香料架)开始,而不是一上来就整理整个房间。目标是快速获得肉眼可见的成果,而不是开启一个大到你很想放弃的浩大工程。 “如果你走进厨房就想着‘看看整个厨房都得整理’,你会直接说‘算了吧’,”帕克斯顿说,“你根本就不会开始。”厨房、浴室这类情感关联度低的区域是最容易上手的起点,因为这些地方的物品大多没有太多情感意义。扔掉过期食品或者没用过的洗护用品,比处理那些和回忆、个人身份绑定的物品要简单得多。“浴室是个非常好的切入点,”帕克斯顿说,“如果是整理衣柜,你可能会翻到爷爷的毛衣,上面还有爷爷的味道。但浴室里只有你不喜欢用的面霜,根本没什么情感牵绊。”等你把所有东西都掏出来,制造出刻意的混乱之后,下一步操作很简单,但需要自制力:只处理你面前的这些东西,对每一件物品都做出明确的处理决定。通常来说,就是扔掉过期或者已经没用的东西。一个实用的经验法则是:只把你最近用过的东西放回那个干干净净的空区域里,剩下的东西都是在占用宝贵空间。“把过去六个月里你真的用过的东西放回去,”帕克斯顿建议道,“其他的全都扔掉。”这样一来,你最终就能得到一个整洁、清爽的空间,里面只放你真正需要的东西。“整个方法的核心就是看到进展,”帕克斯顿说,“整理完一小块区域,看到明显的改善,会让你的大脑快速获得奖励,这样你就更有可能接着整理另一个区域。”不过就算操作“完全正确”,这种方法也不会适合所有人。它不是万能方案,只是一种工具。“整理收纳没有唯一正确的方法,”阿伦森说,“归根结底,你要有自我认知,清楚什么方法适合自己,什么不适合。”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。

HMRC terminates 10% Bingo Duty tax for land-based venues iGame

HMRC terminates 10% Bingo Duty tax for land-based venues

(AsiaGameHub) - HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) will no longer impose a 10% tax on gross profits earned by land-based bingo venues across the UK. This policy change was rolled out as part of the Budget announced by Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves back in November 2025, and the new rules officially take effect as of today (1 April 2026). HMRC has clarified that bingo operators will no longer be required to file tax returns for profits generated from land-based bingo play, and the department will update its official guidance in due course to reflect these new adjustments. A statement from the agency reads: “Bingo Duty operators currently registered with HMRC will retain the ability to submit any outstanding returns online until April 2030, and notify HMRC of any over-declarations or under-declarations from previous accounting periods.” The elimination of Bingo Duty will soften the financial blow for land-based bingo hall operators, coming into force the same day that HMRC enforces an increase to remote gaming duties (RGD) from 21% to 40% – a change that will impact all wagering on online bingo. HMRC reiterated: “Bingo Duty does not apply to non-profit making bingo, private domestic bingo, or machines that are already subject to Machine Games Duty.” After the Budget announcement in November, Rank Group Plc, the operator of Mecca Bingo, publicly welcomed the decision to remove the 10% tax from land-based bingo halls. The company stated that the change will help support local jobs and investment in the land-based sector, having previously warned that a failure to reform bingo taxation could lead to widespread venue closures. However, the wider response across the industry has been more cautious. Buzz Bingo CEO Dominic Mansour described the abolition of the tax as a “full house win” for local clubs, but warned that its positive impact is being diluted by the near-doubling of RGD. Ahead of the Budget, Mansour stressed that fairer tax treatment was essential to protecting around 2,500 jobs and sustaining the company’s network of 79 venues across the UK. Tensions remain around broader regulatory developments, with the government indicating that the sector needs to provide further assurances on player protection, particularly in higher-stake gaming environments. Frustration also persists over whether the Labour government will implement planned changes to the current 80/20 rule, which sets a limited ratio for category B and C/D gaming machines in high street bingo venues and Adult Gaming Centres (ADCs) This April, DCMS announced that it had intervened to freeze planned changes that would shift the machine ratio to 50/50. Citing pressure from local councils over high street gaming operations, DCMS noted that changes to gaming machine ratios would not be implemented during the current legislative cycle. Instead, DCMS will prioritise White Paper commitments such as the statutory levy and binding online stake limits for UK gambling licences. Land-based gambling trade bodies, including BACTA, as well as major operators, have expressed frustration over the slow pace of reform, arguing that delays are preventing bingo halls from generating the revenue needed to modernise and recover from pandemic disruption and rising operating costs. The Treasury had previously backed targeted reforms for gambling venues as part of a package of measures to ease rising cost pressures on high street businesses. While the abolition of Bingo Duty represents a long-awaited concession for the sector, its overall impact is softened by the broader tightening of gambling taxation, leaving operators to navigate a far more challenging operating environment under the UK’s new 40% RGD era.

Datavault AI Returns a Second Time for Exclusive Investor Forum at Mar-a-Lago

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Apr 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ:DVLT) CEO Nate Bradley will present at a private investor round table on Thursday, April 02, 2026, at The Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida, marking his second invitation to the venue in two months following a strong institutional reception in February.The invitation follows presentations Bradley delivered earlier this week to leading global attorneys on AI applications in legal practice and data governance.

Ygam warns of growing social media influence on student gambling iGame

Ygam warns of growing social media influence on student gambling

(AsiaGameHub) - A recent study by Ygam indicates that social media is playing an increasingly significant role in how students engage with gambling. As unlicensed operators continue to infiltrate social media platforms, 34% of students who participate in gambling identified these platforms as a primary influence on their betting habits. Emily Tofield, Chief Executive Officer of Ygam, stated: “It is evident that the digital environment students inhabit is having a growing impact on gambling behaviors. We must proactively address these emerging risks to ensure students have the education and support necessary to protect themselves.” This follows warnings from the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) regarding the promotion of unlicensed operators on social media, with the regulator highlighting the “very limited progress” made by these platforms. Earlier this year, Tim Miller, the UKGC’s Executive Director of Research and Policy, criticized Meta, noting: “I would be very surprised if Meta, as one of the world’s largest tech companies, is unable to proactively use its own keyword tools to block illegal gambling advertisements. It creates the impression that they are content to ignore the issue and continue profiting from criminals and scammers until they are called out.” During the Illegal Gambling Prevention Summit last week, Rob Mabbett of Better Change cautioned that the UKGC is fighting a solitary battle against the black market and its advertising tactics. He stressed that young people face heightened risks due to content on social media, including interactions with influencers, celebrities, YouTubers, and the broader digital landscape. Mabbett argued for more robust regulation of big tech and social platforms, warning that the regulated sector is currently subject to policy decisions that are neither properly tested nor scrutinized. The influence of social media is clearly growing; in Ygam’s initial student gambling survey from 2022, fewer than one in four students cited it as a factor. Tofield has also urged universities and student unions to treat gambling harm with the same level of urgency as other risky behaviors, such as substance abuse. This aligns with recommendations from the coroner who investigated the 2020 death of Lee Adams, a gambling addict who died from a beta-blocker overdose following a prolonged gambling session. Julian Morris, Senior Coroner for Inner South London, suggested that medical professionals should screen for gambling issues just as they do for smoking or alcohol consumption. Ygam’s data further revealed that some students are spending more on gambling than on food. The charity noted an average gambling expenditure of £50.33. Comparing this to the National Student Money Survey, which reports an average weekly grocery spend of £33.70, Ygam suggests that some students are prioritizing gambling over essential nutrition. The study found that 65% of students have gambled in the past year, a decline from the 78% recorded in the inaugural 2022 Annual Student Gambling Survey. Additionally, the percentage of students reporting gambling-related harm dropped from 24% in 2023 to 18% in 2026. Further survey data indicates that slightly over half of student gamblers are primarily motivated by the desire to earn money. Male students are more likely to gamble than their female counterparts, with the average spend among male gamblers being more than double that of females. These concerns regarding increased spending align with recent figures from GamCare, which reported that the number of individuals seeking financial assistance through its Money Guidance Services doubled in 2025. Meanwhile, reported debt rose from £2.8m in 2024 to £7.2m last year, representing an average debt of £21,269 per person. Rising awareness On a more positive note, Ygam reported that 58% of students who gamble are aware of available support services, and 69% feel confident in their ability to access them. Additional data from GamStop shows that 60,000 individuals under the age of 25 are registered with the service, marking a 75% increase over the past five years. Fiona Palmer, CEO of The Gamstop Group, added: “The Annual Student Gambling Survey highlights a concerning lack of awareness regarding gambling risks and the impact on students struggling to manage their habits, though it is heartening to see greater recognition of the support that is available.” This data release coincides with the UK’s transition to a new NHS-led funding model for gambling harm treatment, supported by the Statutory Levy. However, there is growing anxiety regarding the effectiveness of this new system as charities await confirmation of government funding. The findings from Ygam and GamStop underscore the necessity of maintaining robust gambling harm treatment services to ensure that individuals of all ages can access the support they require.

The Star concludes the offload of Queen’s Wharf interests iGame

The Star concludes the offload of Queen’s Wharf interests

(AsiaGameHub) - The Star Entertainment Group has successfully concluded an agreement with its joint venture partners concerning the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane and Gold Coast resorts. Nevertheless, the Australian casino operator might receive reduced compensation for managing the Queen’s Wharf Brisbane integrated resort after changes were made to the establishment's fixed monthly operator fee. Chow Tai Fook Enterprises Limited (CTFE) and Far East Consortium International Limited (FEC) have signed binding long-term agreements with The Star, which is currently operating under new management after the completion of a A$300m strategic investment by Bally’s Corporation and Investment Holdings late last year. The first phase of the transaction permits The Star to divest its 50% equity stake in the Destination Brisbane Consortium (DBC), which encompasses the Queen’s Wharf resort. The second phase pertains to the Destination Gold Coast Consortium (DGCC) and additional Brisbane properties that are either fully or partially owned by the operator. The Star has acquired full ownership of The Star Gold Coast assets, whereas CTFE and FEC are set to assume control of the Treasury Hotel and the Charlotte Street Car Park, both situated near the Queen’s Wharf resort. Monthly fee set at $1.5m? As stipulated by the transaction documents, the operator has finalized the sale of its 50% equity interest in DBC. Consequently, the fixed monthly operator fee stipulated in the DBC casino management agreement (CMA) has been revised and finalized. Effective immediately, the DBC casino operator fee due to The Star will consist of a fixed annual sum of AUS $18m, paid monthly (A$1.5m per month), as well as a performance-based incentive fee made up of two components, both linked to EBITDAM. The DBC also retains a performance termination right, enabling it to end the CMA under specific performance-related conditions, subject to a minimum of 90 days’ written notice. Apart from these modifications, the essential terms of the transaction remain unchanged in all material aspects. The completion of the first stage, involving the divestment of the Queen’s Wharf resort, fulfills the requirements of the refinancing arrangement The Star secured with WhiteHawk Capital Partners last month. Consequently, the company’s guarantee associated with the Queen’s Wharf debt facilities has been fully released. Regarding the second phase, which involves the DGCC and other Brisbane properties held by The Star, the operator noted that efforts to finalize it are ongoing. The conditions precedent are anticipated to be met during the second half of 2026, and no later than 31 March 2027. The Star aims to ‘strengthen’ in 2026 The Star seems to be honoring its commitments to investors after recently expressing optimism for the upcoming year during its H1 FY26 results announcement in March, following a turbulent end to 2025. The Star recorded A$585m in normalised net revenue for the first half of FY26 and a net loss exceeding A$75m. The new management team has implemented changes to operational and marketing strategies, introduced customer-focused initiatives, and enacted further cost reductions. Bruce Mathieson Jnr, Group Chief Executive Officer of The Star, remarked: “We are streamlining our corporate office, and essential support functions will be handled at the property level in Sydney, Gold Coast, and Brisbane. These changes are designed to bolster our financial position and support long-term success. “We continue to drive appropriate cost-out initiatives and are exploring and implementing measures to draw customers to our venues. We are dedicated to following a transparent, practical, and sustainable path that ensures our remediation plan meets the expected standards, while fostering consistency, embedment, and demonstrable maturity throughout the group. “Our properties hold immense potential, and we are committed to transforming The Star into leading entertainment destinations.” Casino licence suspension prolonged However, the New South Wales Independent Casino Commission (NICC) has recently extended the casino licence suspension for The Star Sydney. Following a pathway-to-suitability submission received by the NICC from The Star Sydney on 12 March, it was confirmed that the operator is not yet seeking a licence determination. The suspension affecting The Star Sydney has been in effect for more than three years, after the operator was deemed unfit to hold a casino licence. This determination followed reviews commissioned by the NICC and conducted by Adam Bell SC in October 2022 and August 2024, which uncovered numerous regulatory failures. Nicolas Weeks was appointed as the manager for The Star Sydney to enable gaming operations to persist at the venue. This latest extension ensures the casino licence suspension remains active, with Weeks’ tenure now extended until 30 September 2026, unless terminated earlier.
