民主党周三阵容锁定关键投票群体:白人男性 Latest News

民主党周三阵容锁定关键投票群体:白人男性

(SeaPRwire) - 本文是 TIME 政治通讯“华盛顿简报”的一部分。 订阅该通讯,以获取此类文章。 对于两党最顶尖的策略家来说,每四年都会有一个数字占据他们的脑海:270。当然,这是赢得白宫所需的选举人票数基线,而卡玛拉·哈里斯或唐纳德·特朗普能够采取的路径也只有这么多。 但对于一些量化分析师来说,还有一个数字讲述了乔·拜登在 2020 年击败特朗普的故事:100 万。这是拜登在六个关键战场州比希拉里·克林顿四年前的表现多出的白人男性选票数。TIME 的一项分析表明,拜登之所以能够将这些州从特朗普手中夺走,很大程度上是因为他缩小了克林顿在白人男性中失利的幅度。而拜登的团队,尽管其规模庞大,但在 2020 年还是清醒地认识到,这里一点那里一点的努力可能就是决定胜负的关键。 拜登在佐治亚州的白人男性中领先克林顿 11 个百分点。亚利桑那州和密歇根州的差距缩小了 10 个百分点。威斯康星州和内华达州的差距缩小了 6 个百分点。宾夕法尼亚州缩小了 5 个百分点。北卡罗来纳州的努力是唯一失败的,但其结果仍然比 2016 年的水平提高了 3 个百分点。 哈里斯的竞选团队知道他们不会赢得整体的白人男性选票,因为对手是特朗普。但他们也认为,保持与克林顿时期相当的支持率是一个优先事项。 需要证据吗?看看星期三晚上的民主党全国代表大会阵容。在两位前总统奥巴马夫妇和希拉里·克林顿等重量级人物接连亮相两天后,星期三的重头戏包括哈里斯的竞选搭档蒂姆·沃兹、前总统比尔·克林顿和交通部长皮特·布蒂吉格——这三位都有可能成为任何对民主党心存疑虑的白人男性选票的“安全保障”,因为他们更频繁地出现在民主党全国代表大会上,比上个月共和党全国代表大会上的女性和有色人种候选人更突出。 在现在普遍被认为是最大奖项的七个州,白人男性占选民的约三分之一。但重要的是要注意:克林顿只赢得了其中约 30% 的选票,而拜登赢得了 37% 的选票。事实上,拜登的联盟中有 26% 是白人男性,比克林顿高出 3 个百分点。是的,民主党实际上变得更白了,也变得更男性化了。 在拜登表现不佳的辩论之后,他的辩护者在低声细语中不断强调拜登对这些白人男性的吸引力。他们认为,哈里斯(这位明显接班人恰好是黑人和亚裔美国人)可能无法在这些人中取得如此大的成功,甚至可能比克林顿的表现还差。民主党建制派对此并不信服,并积极表示,哈里斯将能够在那些拜登表现较弱的关键摇摆州中提高多个关键群体的支持率。他们继续对拜登施加压力,拜登尽管仍然不愿承认,但他也不得不承认批评者的看法。 [video id=VscqlNul autostart="viewable"] 在哈里斯担任总统候选人的情况下,民主党人正确地认识到,他们保住白宫的路径已经超越了威斯康星州、密歇根州和宾夕法尼亚州等所谓的“蓝墙”州。坦率地说:“蓝墙”由白人男性掌控。但哈里斯的民调显示,通往 270 张选举人票的路径可以延伸到内华达州、亚利桑那州和佐治亚州等阳光地带州。更令人兴奋的是,他们甚至可能重现 2020 年的选举地图,并将北卡罗来纳州首次涂成蓝色,这是自 2008 年以来的第一次。尽管仍然是一个很小的可能性,但民主党捐助者突然认为,这可能是一个有趣的策略,迫使唐纳德·特朗普将资金花在自己的“后院”,因为参议院的竞选已经成为一个隐秘的——而且罕见的——赢取机会。虽然白人男性在数量上占主导地位,但民主党也负担不起忽视其忠实的支柱,包括黑人选民、郊区女性和大学毕业生。 但是,看看民主党本周在芝加哥举行的全国代表大会的节目安排,特别是星期三晚上,就会发现,没有人急于将“蓝墙”路线束之高阁。实际上,民主党全国代表大会的舞台安排表明,民主党人仍然认为,北方通道是阻止特朗普重返权力最简单的途径。但要实现这一目标,民主党人必须说服拜登式的联盟保持团结,并且——没有人愿意说出口的是——这意味着要让这个国家第二大投票群体克服对第一个担任主要政党提名人的有色人种女性的潜在怀疑。 因此,星期三的阵容中充满了在讲台上发表演讲的白人男性。 了解华盛顿最重大的问题。。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。

“希望正在卷土重来”:米歇尔·奥巴马在2024年民主党全国代表大会上的关键时刻 Latest News

“希望正在卷土重来”:米歇尔·奥巴马在2024年民主党全国代表大会上的关键时刻

(SeaPRwire) - 前第一夫人米歇尔·奥巴马周二晚上重返政治舞台,回到她的家乡芝加哥,为民主党全国代表大会上的副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯拉票。 她受到了大会人群的热烈掌声,提醒着美国人为什么她仍然是该党最有影响力的人物之一——即使是在幕后。奥巴马回忆了她与哈里斯长达20多年的友谊,并谈到了对未来的共同乐观情绪,以及对该党在11月大选之前面临挑战的冷静现实。 “我们的命运掌握在我们手中,”奥巴马说。“在77天内,我们有能力让我们的国家摆脱过去的恐惧、分裂和狭隘。我们有能力将希望与行动结合起来。” 奥巴马在民主党立法者和代表们面前的演讲尤其令人感慨,因为她在本选举周期中一直保持低调,并一直避免参与党派政治的激烈争斗,而是选择通过她的倡议和公开演讲来关注更广泛的社会问题。 但奥巴马和她的丈夫前总统巴拉克·奥巴马仍然在民主党人中广受欢迎——这也是她被认为是拜登总统退出竞选后接任总统候选人的人选之一的原因。奥巴马夫妇在拜登退出竞选后迅速支持哈里斯,称她具备应对当下挑战的性格和经验。 “她是史上最合格的总统候选人之一,”奥巴马周二晚上说。“她也是最尊贵的人之一——向她母亲、我的母亲,以及可能也是你的母亲致敬。她是我们对自己国家讲述的故事的化身。她的故事就是你的故事。是我的故事。是大多数美国人试图创造更美好生活的 故事。” 以下是米歇尔·奥巴马在民主党全国代表大会上的演讲中的一些重要时刻。 ‘希望正在回归’ 前第一夫人重申了在她丈夫早期竞选活动中成为口号的希望信息,赞扬了哈里斯竞选活动中重新燃起的活力。 奥巴马在演讲开始时提到了“希望的传染力”,告诉大会人群,“空气中有一种奇妙的魔力,不是吗?” “你知道我在说什么吗?这是希望的传染力!”她说。“再次站在光明未来的边缘时的兴奋……美国,希望正在回归。” ‘做点什么’ 但奥巴马告诫说,乐观不应该导致自满,她敦促听众在未来几周采取直接行动,帮助哈里斯取得胜利并击败前总统唐纳德·特朗普。 “当我们拥抱这种重燃的希望时,让我们不要忘记我们所感受到的绝望,”她说,提醒民主党人这次选举的利害关系,并补充说他们面临着“艰苦的战斗”。 “这取决于我们去记住卡玛拉的母亲对她说过的话:‘不要只是坐在那里抱怨。做点什么,”奥巴马补充说,这时大会人群高呼:“做点什么!做点什么!” ‘卡玛拉·哈里斯已做好准备’ 奥巴马称哈里斯为“史上最合格的总统候选人之一”,并特别关注她的背景——由一位来自中产阶级的移民母亲抚养长大,就读于一所历史性的黑人大学,并一路努力成为副总统。 “卡玛拉·哈里斯已做好准备,”奥巴马说。“卡玛拉知道,就像我们知道的那样,无论你来自哪里,你是什么样的人,你爱谁,你如何崇拜,或者你的银行账户里有多少钱,我们都应该有机会创造体面的生活。我们所有的贡献都应该得到认可和重视。因为没有人能垄断成为美国人的意义。” 总统职位‘可能只是一份黑人工作’ 奥巴马在演讲的一部分中谈到了针对哈里斯的种族主义言论和攻击性言论,警告说人们“会尽一切努力歪曲”她的背景和成就。“我和我丈夫,不幸的是,对此略知一二,”她说,然后点名批评特朗普,他散布了针对巴拉克·奥巴马毫无根据的“出生证明”谣言。 “多年来,唐纳德·特朗普尽其所能试图让人们害怕我们。你看,他狭隘的世界观让他对两个勤劳、受过良好教育、成功的黑人存在感到威胁,”她说。 在提到特朗普在6月辩论中发表的言论——他声称进入美国的移民正在“抢走黑人的工作”——奥巴马补充说:“谁会告诉他,他现在正在谋求的工作可能只是一份‘黑人工作’?” “这还是他那套老把戏:用丑陋的、厌女的、种族主义的谎言来代替真正的想法和解决方案,这些想法和解决方案实际上能改善人们的生活,”她说。 ‘我的内心驱使我来到这里’ 奥巴马说,她上次回到家乡芝加哥是在今年早些时候她的母亲去世的时候,她决定在民主党全国代表大会上发表演讲,以纪念她的母亲的遗产和她所做出的牺牲。她还将她的成长经历与哈里斯的成长经历进行了对比:“她很乐意做那些无名无利的、平凡的工作,这些工作世代以来一直巩固着这个国家的根基,”奥巴马说,并补充说“卡玛拉·哈里斯和我的人生都是基于这些相同的价值观。” “我甚至不知道我今晚是否能够稳稳地站在你们面前,”奥巴马说。“但我的内心驱使我来到这里,因为我有一种责任感,我要纪念她,并提醒我们所有人不要浪费我们长辈为我们创造更美好未来所做出的牺牲。”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。

小鹏汽车因竞争加剧,收入预期黯淡 Finance

小鹏汽车因竞争加剧,收入预期黯淡

财务预测 (SeaPRwire) - 小鹏汽车 (NYSE:XPEV) 预计第三季度的收入将低于预期,预计数字将低于该公司的预期。该公司报告称,其第三季度收入预计将在 91 亿元至 98 亿元之间,而分析师预计约为 104 亿元。 季度表现 在 6 月份的季度业绩中,小鹏汽车的收入为 81.1 亿元人民币 (11.4 亿美元),低于预期的 81.7 亿元人民币。尽管毛利率略微上升至 14%,增长了 1.1 个百分点,但小鹏汽车仍在与激烈的竞争和其现有电动汽车 (EV) 产品线需求下降作斗争。 车辆交付 小鹏汽车的目标是在第三季度交付 41,000 至 45,000 辆汽车,超过去年同期交付的 40,008 辆。该公司报告称,4 月至 6 月期间的汽车利润率提高至 6.4%,高于上一季度的 5.5%。 未来计划和挑战 为了增强其市场地位,小鹏汽车计划在未来三年内以 10 万元至 40 万元 (14,001.88 美元至 56,007.51 美元) 的价格更新其车型阵容,推出新款电动汽车。即将推出的 MONA M03 中型轿车将与比亚迪的 Seagull 和 Dolphin 车型以及特斯拉的 Model 3 竞争。 然而,小鹏汽车的扩张计划面临挑战,特别是由于欧盟委员会对中国制造的电动汽车征收关税。该公司正在考虑在欧洲建立一家制造工厂,以减轻这些关税的影响。 竞争格局 小鹏汽车正在与国内玩家如比亚迪和蔚来 (NYSE:NIO) 以及包括特斯拉 (NASDAQ:TSLA) 在内的全球竞争对手展开激烈竞争。这种竞争压力加上监管障碍正在影响小鹏汽车的财务前景和市场策略。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。

亚马逊股票:人工智能成本上升的影响 Finance

亚马逊股票:人工智能成本上升的影响

亚马逊股票表现 (SeaPRwire) - 亚马逊股票 (NASDAQ:AMZN) 在大型科技股中面临着独特的挑战,因为它在人工智能 (AI) 计算方面的支出影响了其盈利能力和股票表现。在 8 月初发布财报后,亚马逊股票的表现落后于其他大型科技股。这家电子商务巨头将重点转向人工智能投资,标志着其此前削减成本措施的转变,导致利润大幅增长,股价大幅上涨。 投资者担心,资本支出的增加将对现金流产生负面影响。从历史上看,当亚马逊公司强调提高盈利能力而不是增加投资时,亚马逊股票的表现会更好。最近重回投资模式的转变令投资者质疑,强劲的股价表现时期是否会暂停或结束。自财报发布以来,亚马逊的股价一直保持在财报发布前水平以下 3% 以上,而包括其他主要科技股在内的彭博七大奇迹指数在同一时期上涨了约 4%。 投资者担忧和市场反应 投资者担心支出增加会损害盈利能力,这一点至关重要,尤其是在利润率扩张是亚马逊股价在 7 月初达到顶峰之前上涨 30% 以上的关键驱动因素的情况下。Benchmark 的丹尼尔·库尔诺斯 (Daniel Kurnos) 认为,最近的事件可能会导致未来几个季度利润率进一步下降,因为在潜在不稳定的宏观经济环境中,公司将重新关注营收增长。 亚马逊多元化的业务模式,包括零售、视频流媒体以及电影和电视,对其表现的影响与其他科技公司不同。虽然 AWS 云计算部门仍然强劲,但美国消费者需求疲软可能会对零售部门产生负面影响。投资者似乎在等待更多关于消费者行为的信息,这可能解释了为什么亚马逊股票的表现不如其他科技巨头。 此外,投资者越来越担心亚马逊不断增长的现金储备以及其不支付股息。与其他主要科技公司不同,亚马逊不支付股息,在回购股票方面也行动较慢。虽然其同行已经授权了大量的回购计划,但亚马逊在 2022 年批准的 100 亿美元回购计划在 6 月底之前完成不到一半,并且在上个季度没有回购任何股票。 与科技同行对比分析 亚马逊面临着越来越大的压力,要求其争夺投资者资金,尤其是当 Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:META)、Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) 和 Booking Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:BKNG) 等公司开始在回购的同时发放股息时。摩根士丹利分析师布莱恩·诺瓦克 (Brian Nowak) 领导的团队表示,亚马逊的资本回报政策与同行相比影响较小。如果这种情况到 2025 年底没有改变,亚马逊的净现金余额可能占其总市值的 8%,使其成为按市值计算排名前 25 的标普 500 指数公司之一。持续的资本回报政策有可能提高亚马逊的现金流倍数。 尽管存在这些挑战,但有迹象表明,投资者开始买入包括亚马逊股票在内的被打压的科技股,包括 Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA)、Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT) 和 Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)。亚马逊的股价自 8 月 5 日的最新低点以来已经上涨了约 11%。 亚马逊股价最近的下跌使其估值降至约 28 倍预期收益,这比大多数所谓的“七大奇迹”公司都低,只有 Alphabet 的倍数更低。亚马逊的估值也略高于纳斯达克 100 指数,该指数的预期收益倍数约为 26 倍。投资者继续将“七大奇迹”公司的下跌视为买入机会,并且倾向于恢复这种策略,直到它被证明无效为止。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。

Hengdeli Announces 2024 Interim Results Sound, Steady, and Long-Term Operations ACN Newswire

Hengdeli Announces 2024 Interim Results Sound, Steady, and Long-Term Operations

HONG KONG, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Hengdeli Holdings Limited (“Hengdeli” or the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”; stock code: 3389) announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2024 (" the period under review").In the first half of 2024, the global economy was still confronted with multiple pressures such as geopolitical conflicts and inflation risks. China’s economic growth slowed down, while overall operation remained stable and the trend of stabilization continued. In the face of a relatively complex operating environment, under the principle of “sound, steady and long-term operations”, the Group adapted its business to the market conditions and strived for the survival and health of the enterprise to safeguard the interests of its shareholders.During the review period, the Group recorded revenue of RMB580,361,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB675,621,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 14.1%; high-end consuming accessories business recorded revenue of RMB352,339,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB316,992,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 11.2%; commodity trading revenue amounted to RMB228,022,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: RMB358,629,000), representing a year-on-year decrease of 36.4%. During the period under review, the Group recorded a profit of RMB499,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB8,799,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 105.7%. Loss attributable to equity shareholders amounted to RMB2,504,000 (six months ended 30 June 2023: loss of RMB1,985,000), representing a year-on-year increase of 26.1%. The increase in loss was mainly attributable to the increase in depreciation expenses on property, plant and equipment and foreign exchange losses incurred by the operating units as a result of exchange rate fluctuations.During the period under review, in regards of high-end consuming accessories business, the Group took various measures to cope with complicated operating environment. The Group laid a solid foundation to maintain stability, sought development driven by innovation, continuously broadened its business modes, enhancing the level of technological innovation, the Group standardized and strengthened its informational and automatic management, all measures mentioned above achieved remarkable results. During the period under review, the high-end consuming accessories business achieved remarkable results, with better growth in both revenue and profit.In terms of international trading, during the period under review, the sales and profit of the international commodity trading business decreased as compared to the same period last year as a result of decline in the selling price of ore sand and the lower purchasing intention of customers, but still maintained a positive profitability. During the period, the Group planned to build a bulk cargo transshipment logistics park in Mexico, which integrates customs clearance, import, transportation and warehousing, and is dedicated to serving large-scale enterprises in China. In terms of international shipping, during the period under review, the global dry bulk shipping market performed strongly. The Group seized the opportunities of the rising market to vigorously expand its business by developing new customers and signing long voyage transportation contracts with its customers to lock in long-term profits for the Company. In addition to engaging in the traditional transportation routes, the Group opened up its first bauxite transportation route between Turkey and China and signed long-term transportation agreements with renowned companies in Turkey, which yielded relatively satisfactory returns. The Group’s shipping business achieved good results in terms of revenue and profit in the first half of the year.At present, the global political situation is still experiencing a high degree of unrest, and the instability and uncertainty of the economic environment are on the rise. While the recovery of the mainland Chinese economy is evident, factors such as the deepening of structural adjustment will continue to pose new challenges. However, the favorable conditions for the economic development of Mainland China outweigh the unfavorable factors, and the trend of stable and long-term development remains unchanged. As the effects from the government’s various economic policies and measures materialized, it is believed that China’s economic growth momentum will continue to rise.In the second half of the year, the Group will continue to adhere to the principle of “sound, steady, and long-term operations”, and will leverage the stable business environment in Mainland China that “pursues stability while seeking progress” to keep abreast of the market trend and further advance the process of international trade steadily. Additionally, the Group will continuously expand and strengthen the international shipping business, which is closely related to international trade, and strive to become a stronger participant in the international shipping supply chain and achieve new breakthroughs in corporate development.The Group will continue to adapt to market demands and continuously enhance the service standard of its integrated services for commercial space in both Mainland China and international markets. The Group will also continuously adjust the manufacturing of high-end accessories for renowned watches while embarking on a limited number of diversified business activities including the manufacturing of high-end consuming accessories in highend lifestyle products such as jewellery, cosmetics and mobile phones, and expanding its commercial space beautification services to include living space beautification services, thus becoming an indispensable independent segment in the industry ecological chain of high-end consuming accessories.

香港, 2024年8月21日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) – 亨得利控股有限公司(「亨得利」或「公司」及其子公司「集团」,股票代号:3389)宣布截至2024年6月30日止6个月(「回顾期内」)之中期业绩。2024年上半年,全球经济仍面临着地缘政治冲突、通胀风险等多重压力。中国经济增速有所放缓,但总体运行平稳。面对较为复杂的经营环境,公司以「行稳致远」为准则,顺应市场调配业务,力求企业的生存与健康,以保障股东的利益。回顾期内,本集团收入录得580,361,000元(人民币,下同;2023年6月30日止六个月为675,621,000元),较去年同期下降了14.1%;高端消费配套业务等收入为352,339,000元(2023年6月30日止六个月为316,992,000元),较去年同期上升了11.2%;大宗商品贸易收入为228,022,000元(2023年6月30日止六个月为358,629,000元),较去年同期下降了36.4%。于回顾期,本集团录得溢利,溢利额为499,000元(截至2023年6月30日六个月亏损:8,799,000元),较去年同期上升了105.7%;而股份持有人应占亏损为2,504,000元(截至2023年6月30日六个月亏损:1,985,000元),较去年同期上升了26.1%。亏损上升主要源于物业、厂房、设备的折旧费用上升及汇率波动导致营运单位产生外汇兑换亏损等。回顾期内,于高端消费配套业务层面,集团采取多种措施应对复杂的经营环境,不断拓宽业务模式,提升技术创新水平,规范和加强信息化及自动化管理,各项措施均取得了较为明显的成效。回顾期内,高端消费配套业务的收入及利润业绩增长显著。国际贸易方面,回顾期内,因应矿砂销售价格的下降及客户购买意愿的降低,国际大宗商品贸易业务之销售额及利润较去年同期有所下降,但仍维持了正面的盈收。期内,集团计划于墨西哥建设一个集清关、进口、运输、仓储于一体的大宗货物中转物流园区,致力于服务中国大型企业。国际海运方面,回顾期内,全球干散货航运市场表现强劲。集团紧抓市场上涨时机,大力拓展业务,与客户致力于签订长航次运输合同。在深耕传统运输航线外,集团首次开辟了土耳其与中国铝矾土运输航线,并与土耳其著名公司签订了长期运输协议,获得较为满意的收益。上半年,集团海运业务收入与利润均取得了良好的成绩。当前,于全球来看,政治动荡不安趋势仍十分明显,经济环境的不稳定性、不确定性上升。中国内地经济恢复态势虽然明显,唯结构调整持续深化等仍将带来新的挑战。但是,中国内地经济发展长期向好的发展态势并未改变。随着中国政府各项经济政策措施效应进一步显现,相信中国内地经济发展动能将持续增强。下半年,公司仍将坚持「行稳致远、持续经营」之原则,背靠中国内地「稳中求进、以进促稳」的经济发展环境,紧贴市场,积极而稳妥地继续国际贸易的进程,并不断扩充与加强与国际贸易密切相关的国际海运业务,努力成长,以冀成为国际海运供应链中较强的一员,实现企业突破性的发展。集团亦仍将顺应市场需求,面向中国内地及国际双市场,不断提升商业空间一体化服务水平;调整高端名表配套产品的生产,同时展开有限多元化的业务进程,加强高端消费配套生产在珠宝、化妆品及手机等其他高端生活品领域的拓展,将商业空间美化服务扩充至生活空间美化服务领域等,继而成为高端消费配套生态链中不可或缺的一个独立环节。 Copyright 2024 亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com.

Mitsubishi Ralliart’s Triton Finishes in Fifth Place Overall in Asia Cross Country Rally 2024: Team Determined to Make a Comeback Next Year JCN Newswire

Mitsubishi Ralliart’s Triton Finishes in Fifth Place Overall in Asia Cross Country Rally 2024: Team Determined to Make a Comeback Next Year

TOKYO, Aug 21, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (hereafter, Mitsubishi Motors) announced that Team Mitsubishi Ralliart, for which the company provides technical support, has won fifth place overall in the Asia Cross Country Rally (hereafter, AXCR) 2024, held in Thailand from August 11 to 17, with the Triton1 (T1 specification, or modified cross-country vehicle). The total distance covered was 2,075.54 kilometers (km), including 939.58 km2 of special stages, and Katsuhiko Taguchi finished in fifth place overall with a total time of 15 hours, 34 minutes and 52 seconds.In the overall standings, Kazuto Koide, who competed for the first time, placed 24th, and Sakchai Hantrakul placed 27th. Chayapon Yotha retired from first place overall in Leg 5, ending in 42nd overall.This year’s AXCR held its ceremonial start on August 11 at the landmark clock tower in Surat Thani, Thailand. The rally proper began with Leg 1 the following day, and Leg 2 took the participants from Surat Thani to Hua Hin, covering over 550 km and making it the longest section of the entire competition. Leg 3 was a special stage in the Hua Hin area, and with Leg 4, the rally headed to Kanchanaburi, on an undulating track through mountainous terrain. Leg 4 was the toughest special stage of the six days, as many teams struggled with the route over the mountains with rocky terrain, and more than 10 teams were penalized for failing to finish within the allowed time. Leg 5 was the longest special stage in this year's competition, covering 228.87 km in the Kanchanaburi area, and the competition concluded with Leg 6 on August 17, finishing at Skywalk Avenue, close to the new tourist attraction Skywalk Kanchanaburi.This was the second year for Katsuhiko Taguchi, who started from seventh position. Although he had a hard time with the challenging course settings, he drove carefully and steadily to complete each day's special stage and improved his position from eighth place overall last year to finish in fifth place overall.Sakchai Hantrakul started from 30th position and jumped up to fifth place in Leg 1, but was troubled by course errors and vehicle issues, finishing in 27th place.Kazuto Koide, who competed as an employee driver, struggled at first with the course, but he continued to drive steadily, demonstrating his adaptability and supporting his teammates who got stuck or had vehicle trouble. In the end, he finished in 24th place overall.The previous year's 3rd place overall winner, Chayapon Yotha started furthest forward for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart and drove steadily, setting times that placed him in the top ranks day after day. By the end of Leg 4, which was the toughest of all the special stages, the Triton's high off-road handling performance showed its true potential, putting him in the overall lead with a margin of over 20 minutes ahead of second place. However, due to vehicle trouble in Leg 5, he was unable to continue and had to retire from the rally.Comment from Hiroshi Masuoka, team director of Team Mitsubishi Ralliart“This year's Triton was perfected with enhanced performance, showing powerful driving that covered the displacement gap with our rivals and even took the overall lead at one point. It is unfortunate that we were unable to win, but the Triton was able to fully demonstrate its excellent off-road capabilities that Mitsubishi vehicles have honed over the decades. After returning to Japan, Koide, an employee driver who had competed for the first time, and others will reflect the valuable data and knowledge gained from this rally in the development of production vehicles, adding a new chapter to our tradition of leveraging motorsports experience for vehicle development. We will undergo rigorous tests again, and Team Mitsubishi Ralliart will make a comeback next year. We would like to thank our sponsors for their generous support and our fans around the world for their enthusiastic cheering."Comment from Katsuhiko Taguchi, driving Car #107 for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart“The 2024 Triton rally car was packaged at a high level and was just easy to drive. I am happy to have improved my position from last year, but I am also disappointed because I had a good feeling that I could aim for a higher position. We will use this years’ experience as feedback to further improve the driving performance of the Triton next year, so that we can stay competitive at the top.”Comment from Kazuto Koide, driving Car #137 for Team Mitsubishi Ralliart“The Triton rally car I drove was a 2023 model based on a production car and has a drive mode called 4LLc for rocky terrain. Using this mode, I was able to climb a nearly 40-degree incline without difficulty while towing my teammate's car, and I was reminded once again of the high off-road performance of the Triton production car. I would like to feedback what I have learned as a driver through this rally to develop future Mitsubishi vehicles that are strong and dependable on rough roads.”1st:Mana Pornsiricherd (Toyota Hilux Revo)14 hours 22 minutes 00 seconds2nd:Suwat Limjirapinya (Isuzu D-Max)14 hours 25 minutes 47 seconds3rd:Thongchai Klinkate (Isuzu D-Max)14 hours 36 minutes 24 seconds4th:Ikuo Hanawa (Toyota Fortuner)14 hours 56 minutes 48 seconds5th:Katsuhiko Taguchi (Mitsubishi Triton)15 hours 34 minutes 52 seconds6th:Olan Sornsirirat (Isuzu D-Max)15 hours 35 minutes 34 seconds・24th:Kazuto Koide (Mitsubishi Triton)23 hours 08 minutes 37 seconds27th:Sakchai Hantrakul (Mitsubishi Triton)24 hours 51 minutes 52 seconds42nd:Chayapon Yotha (Mitsubishi Triton)DNF (Did Not Finish)Comment from Kei Takeoka, an automotive journalist who accompanied Team Mitsubishi Ralliart with the Delica Mini support car“This year's AXCR had rock sections and river crossings, making it far more challenging than I had imagined. Moreover, the course itself was difficult – the vigorous plants of Thailand grew wildly from the time the roadbook was created until the actual rally, so we had to drive through areas that did not look very much like roads. That must have made navigation difficult for the co-driver. I drove the Delica Mini support car, and everywhere we went, the Delica Mini and Delimaru, its official character, were very popular. Whenever we stopped in town, a photo session would start, and many people took videos while we were driving. The Delica Mini may become a very popular model in the Bangkok area. Of course, the Delica Mini was very capable on rough roads, and it was even reliable on Thailand's red dirt off-roads, as well as cracked, pothole-filled paved roads.”Daily reportsDaily reports from August 11, the first day of the competition, to the last leg on August 17 are available on Mitsubishi Motors' special AXCR website. www.mitsubishi-motors.com/en/brand/ralliart/axcr/axcr2024/1. Sold as L200 in some markets2.

Q2 Metals Clarifies Technical Disclosure

Vancouver, BC, Aug 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Q2 Metals Corp. (TSXV:QTWO)(OTCQB:QUEXF)(FSE:458) (" Q2 " or the " Company ") announces that, as a result of a technical review by the British Columbia Securities Commission, the Company is issuing the following news release to clarify its technical disclosure as it pertains to the news release issued on August 19, 2024.The Company previously reported the cumulative grades of drill holes CS-24-007 to CS-24-010 at the Company's Cisco Property over ‘cumulative intervals' and ‘cumulative metres.' This disclosure has been removed from the August 19, 2024 news release as well as all previously issued news releases that reported cumulative intervals and/or cumulative metres.As such, the highlights of the Company's inaugural drilling campaign at the Cisco Property included:CS-24-010: Widest interval of 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 OCS-24-007: Widest interval of 27.1 m at 1.96% Li 2 O including 11.1 m at 2.49% Li 2 OCS-24-008: Widest interval of 19.3m at 1.75% Li 2 O including 6.2 m at 2.23% Li 2 OCS-24-009: Widest interval of 82.1m at 1.43% Li 2 O including 15.7 m at 1.88% Li 2 OThe analytical results reported represent the first 1,017 m of drilling over four (4) holes of the 3,753 m that were drilled over 12 holes at the Cisco Property. Initial visual results of those four holes were reported by the Company on June 17, 2024.The Spring 2024 Drill Campaign was designed to expand upon the 2023 drilling by the Property vendors. Hole CS-23-05 ("Hole 5") drilled by the Property vendor ended in pegmatite and assays results confirmed its widest interval of 48.0 m at 1.23% Li 2 O including 9.0 m at 1.73% Li 2 O.Holes CS-24-009 and 010 ("Hole 10") were designed as 50 m westward step-outs from Hole 5. Assay results from these two holes confirmed wide intervals of spodumene pegmatite, with the widest interval reaching 120.3 m at 1.72% Li 2 O, including 19.0 m at 2.06% Li 2 O in Hole 10.Complete highlighted intervals from holes CS-24-007 to 010 are summarized in Table 1 and represented in Figure 1. All intervals of greater than two (2) metres of core-length are included in the table. Internal dilution of non-pegmatite material was limited to intervals of less than five (5) metres. No specific grade cap or lower cut-offs were used during grade and width calculations. All intervals are reported as core widths and mineralized intervals in all the holes drilled thus far are not representative of the true width as the modelled pegmatite zones are being refined with every additional hole.Figure 1. Map of Inaugural Drill Hole Analytical Results at Cisco PropertyTable 1. Summary of Analytical Results of Spring Drill Holes at Cisco PropertyTable 2. Summary of Drill Hole Collar Information, Cisco PropertyResults from approximately 2,700 m of drilling eight (8) holes (CS-24-011 to CS-24-018) remain to be reported from the Spring 2024 Drill Campaign and will be released as soon as results are available. Drilling at the Cisco Property is ongoing and will continue into the fall of 2024.About the Cisco PropertyThe Cisco Property is comprised of 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 hectares in size. It is located less than 10 kilometres ("km") east of the Billy Diamond Highway, and is approximately 150 km north of Matagami, a small town that contains the closest rail link to much of James Bay. The Property lies within the greater Nemaska Community lands of the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Quebec.The Property is situated along the Frotet Evans Greenstone Belt, comprised of a volcanic package dominated by mafic to felsic metavolcanic rocks, of the southern James Bay Lithium District, the same belt that hosts the Sirmac and Moblan lithium deposits, located 130 km and 180 km away, respectively.Sampling, Analytical Methods and QA/QC ProtocolsAs per the BCSC technical review, information required by sections 3.2 and 3.3 of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") that was inadvertently omitted has also been updated.All drill core samples were shipped to SGS Canada's preparation facility in Val D'Or, Quebec, for standard sample preparation (code PRP92) which includes drying at 105°C, crushing to 90% passing 2 mm, riffle split 500 g, and pulverize 85% passing 75 microns. The pulps are then shipped by air to SGS Canada's laboratory in Burnaby, BC, where the samples are homogenized and subsequently analyzed for multi-element (including Li and Ta) using sodium peroxide fusion with ICP-AES/MS finish (code GE_ICM91A50). The reported Li grade was multiplied by the standard conversion factor of 2.153 which results in an equivalent Li 2 O grade. Drill core was saw-cut with half-core sent for geochemical analysis and half-core remaining in the box for reference. The same side of the core was sampled to maintain representativeness.A Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) protocol following industry best practices was incorporated into the sampling program. Measures include the systematic insertion of quartz blanks and certified reference materials (CRMs) into sample batches at a rate of approximately 5% each. Additionally, analysis of pulp-split and reject-split duplicates was completed to assess analytical precision. The QP has verified the QA/QC results of the analytical work.Qualified PersonNeil McCallum, B.Sc., P.Geol, is a registered permit holder with the Ordre des Géologues du Québec and Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release. Mr. McCallum is a director and VP Exploration for Q2.About Q2 Metals CorpQ2 Metals is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on unlocking its portfolio of lithium projects in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada, that includes both its 100-per-cent-owned Mia Lithium Property and the Cisco Lithium Property.The Cisco lithium property is located approximately 150 km north of Matagami, Que., and comprises 222 mineral claims and is 11,374 ha in size.
