Korea Utara Melancarkan Pelbagai Ujian Peluru Berpandu sebagai Pameran Kekuatan pada Hari Pilihan Raya Amerika Syarikat

(SeaPRwire) - SEOUL, Korea Selatan — Korea Utara pada hari Selasa telah melancarkan beberapa peluru berpandu balistik jarak pendek ke arah timur laut, kata tentera Korea Selatan, ketika negara itu meneruskan demonstrasi senjata berjam-jam sebelum pilihan raya presiden AS. Markas Bersama Ketua Staf Korea Selatan tidak serta-merta menyatakan bilangan peluru berpandu yang dikesan atau sejauh mana peluru berpandu itu terbang. Kementerian Pertahanan Jepun berkata peluru berpandu itu dipercayai telah mendarat di laut dan tiada laporan kerosakan segera. Pelancaran itu berlaku beberapa hari selepas pemimpin Korea Utara Kim Jong Un menyelia ujian penerbangan peluru berpandu balistik antara benua terbaru negara itu yang direka untuk mencapai tanah besar AS. Sebagai tindak balas kepada pelancaran itu, Amerika Syarikat telah menerbangkan pengebom B-1B jarak jauh dalam latihan tiga hala bersama Korea Selatan dan Jepun pada hari Ahad sebagai demonstrasi kekuatan. Itu mencetuskan kecaman daripada adik perempuan Kim yang berkuasa, yang pada hari Selasa menuduh musuh Korea Utara meningkatkan ketegangan dengan "ancaman ketenteraan yang agresif dan berani." Pegawai Korea Selatan telah mengatakan bahawa Korea Utara mungkin meningkatkan pameran ketenteraannya sekitar pilihan raya presiden AS untuk menarik perhatian Washington. Agensi perisikan tentera Korea Selatan berkata minggu lalu bahawa Korea Utara juga mungkin telah menyelesaikan persediaan untuk ujian nuklear ketujuhnya. Pegawai luar dan penganalisis berkata Korea Utara akhirnya berharap dapat menggunakan senjata nuklear yang diperluaskan sebagai pengaruh untuk mendapatkan konsesi seperti pelepasan sekatan selepas presiden AS yang baru dipilih. Terdapat pandangan meluas bahawa Kim lebih suka kemenangan oleh calon Republikan , yang dengannya dia terlibat dalam diplomasi nuklear berisiko tinggi pada 2018-19, menganggapnya sebagai rakan yang lebih mungkin untuk memberinya apa yang dia mahukan daripada calon Demokrat . Semasa berkempen, Trump membanggakan diri dengan hubungan peribadi dengan Kim, sementara Harris berkata dia tidak akan "bermesra dengan tirani dan diktator seperti Kim Jong Un yang menyokong Trump." Media kerajaan Korea Utara mendakwa minggu lalu bahawa Hwasong-19 yang diujinya pada 31 Oktober adalah ICBM "terkuat di dunia," tetapi pakar mengatakan peluru berpandu bahan api pepejal itu terlalu besar untuk digunakan dalam situasi perang. Pakar mengatakan Korea Utara belum memperoleh beberapa teknologi kritikal untuk membina ICBM yang berfungsi, seperti memastikan kepala peledak dapat bertahan dalam keadaan re-entry atmosfera yang keras. Ketegangan antara Korea semakin tinggi dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini ketika Kim telah berulang kali mempamerkan program senjata nuklear dan peluru berpandunya yang semakin berkembang, sementara dilaporkan menyediakan Rusia dengan peluru dan pasukan untuk menyokong perang Presiden Vladimir Putin di Ukraine. Menurut penilaian perisikan AS, Korea Selatan dan Ukraine, Korea Utara dianggarkan telah menghantar antara 10,000 hingga 12,000 tentera ke Rusia. Jika mereka mula berperang menentang pasukan Ukraine, ia akan menandakan penyertaan pertama Korea Utara dalam konflik berskala besar sejak berakhirnya Perang Korea 1950-53. Pada hari Isnin, jurucakap Jabatan Negara AS Matthew Miller memberitahu wartawan bahawa sebanyak 10,000 tentera Korea Utara berada di wilayah Kursk Rusia berhampiran sempadan Ukraine dan bersiap untuk menyertai perjuangan Moscow menentang Ukraine dalam beberapa hari akan datang. Itu lebih tinggi daripada 8,000 tentera yang disebut oleh kerajaan AS pada hari Khamis. Selepas pertemuan di Seoul pada hari Isnin, Menteri Luar Negeri Korea Selatan Cho Tae-yul dan ketua dasar luar EU Josep Borrell menyatakan "kebimbangan yang mendalam" mengenai kemungkinan Rusia mungkin memindahkan teknologi yang berkaitan dengan nuklear atau peluru berpandu balistik kepada Korea Utara sebagai balasan untuk senjata dan kakitangan tenteranya. Pemindahan sedemikian akan "membahayakan usaha pencegahan senjata nuklear antarabangsa dan mengancam keamanan dan kestabilan di Semenanjung Korea dan seluruh dunia," kata mereka, sambil menyeru Korea Utara dan Rusia untuk segera menarik balik tentera Korea Utara dari Rusia. Sebagai tindak balas kepada ancaman nuklear Korea Utara yang semakin meningkat, Korea Selatan, Amerika Syarikat dan Jepun telah memperluaskan latihan ketenteraan gabungan mereka dan mengemas kini pelan pencegahan nuklear mereka yang dibina di sekitar aset strategik AS. Korea Utara telah menggambarkan latihan ketenteraan bersama oleh musuhnya sebagai latihan untuk pencerobohan dan menggunakannya untuk membenarkan pengejaran senjata nuklear dan peluru berpandunya yang tidak henti-henti. Pada mesyuarat Majlis Keselamatan PBB pada hari Isnin, duta besar Korea Utara, Kim Song, mempertahankan program nuklear dan ICBM Korea Utara sebagai penting untuk pertahanan diri negara itu dan tindak balas yang diperlukan terhadap apa yang dianggap sebagai ancaman nuklear dari Amerika Syarikat. Dia menekankan bahawa Korea Utara akan mempercepat pembangunan "kekuatan nuklear kita yang dapat menentang sebarang ancaman yang dikemukakan oleh negara-negara senjata nuklear yang bermusuhan." Timbalan Duta Besar AS Robert Wood memberi amaran bahawa AS tidak dapat berpaling daripada program senjata nuklear dan peluru berpandu balistik Korea Utara yang semakin berkembang dan ancaman yang semakin meningkat terhadap keselamatan AS "tanpa tindak balas." Wood juga mengulangi seruan minggu lalu kepada Rusia untuk menyatakan sama ada terdapat tentera Korea Utara di darat di Rusia. "Kami bukan di mahkamah di sini," jawab Timbalan Duta Besar Rusia Anna Evstigneeva, "dan soalan-soalan Amerika Syarikat, dalam semangat soal siasat, bukan sesuatu yang ingin saya jawab." —Penulis Associated Press Mari Yamaguchi di Tokyo dan Edith M.

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing JCN Newswire

Victory and world title for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

Toyota City, Japan, Nov 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing completed a thrilling fightback to overcome challenges and retain its FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title when the 2024 season came to a dramatic conclusion in the 8 Hours of Bahrain.Starting from one-two on the grid, and knowing a win would secure the manufacturers’ title, each car led at different points, but the team entered the final stages of the race with only one car on track, down in 10th place after suffering setbacks.An incredible team effort and a dominant driving display saw Sébastien Buemi cut through the field to win the race in the #8 GR010 HYBRID he shares with Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa, securing the team’s sixth successive manufacturers’ World Championship, by six points from Porsche.The #7 GR010 HYBRID had victory in its sights when it led at half distance, but a fuel pump issue forced Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries into retirement. That ended the slim drivers’ title hopes of Kamui and Nyck, who needed a win to have any chance.The chequered flag in Bahrain concluded a 2024 season which featured 72 hours of racing, at eight rounds on four continents over almost 10 months. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s season record stands at five podiums, including three wins, and two pole positions, earning 190 World Championship points. After an exciting year, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing congratulates new drivers’ World Champions Kévin Estre, Andre Lotterer and Laurens Vanthoor, and thanks all WEC competitors for their contribution to a memorable season.A dramatic and challenging race had started strongly for the team when Sébastien led away from pole. But after 18 minutes its hopes suffered a blow when Sébastien was hit from behind by a GT car and spun down to seventh. He recovered to fifth before Brendon took over late in the second hour.Brendon and Ryo then battled against tyre degradation on their stints but made a determined effort to keep the #8 in the top six and still in the hunt. The race turned on two safety car periods early in the second half of the race, which closed the gaps throughout the 18-strong Hypercar field.When racing resumed with just over an hour remaining, Sébastien was 10th but only 15secs from the lead, and he began an incredible fight back to revive the team’s World Championship dream. A heroic charge through the field saw him overtake several rivals to move into second after his final pit stop.With just over half an hour of the season remaining Sébastien completed a remarkable comeback drive by passing the #5 Porsche for the lead. He soon established a comfortable advantage and reached the chequered flag to win by 27.539secs for the #8 GR010 HYBRID’s second win of the season, and the team’s 10th in Bahrain.For much of the race, the #7 car had looked the most likely GR010 HYBRID to challenge for victory. Mike moved up from fourth at the end of the first lap to be in the top three when Kamui took the wheel for what would be a dramatic stint. As the sun set in the fourth hour, Kamui’s bold overtaking elevated him to second.However, the #7 was hit by a fuel pump issue which intermittently reduced performance. Drivers, engineers and mechanics looked for a solution and, initially, appeared to have succeeded when Kamui closed the gap and Nyck took the lead via a fast pit stop. But the trouble returned and the #7 slipped down the field.Considering the problem would require a lengthy repair, the team prioritised victory and the championship. It decided to retire the #7 with just over two hours to go, in order to allow its crew members to support the #8 car’s challenge, expressing their solidarity and ensuring today’s title triumph was a genuine team effort.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“First of all, a big thank you for all the support we have had this season from all over the world. Winning the manufacturers’ World Championship is a great achievement and it’s the result of a huge team effort from everyone, including our Toyota colleagues and our partners, who are a big part of this success. This is the result everyone in the team wanted and they gave everything to achieve it, so thank you for all that work. Car #8 deserved the win today after an incredible race. Obviously on our car we had some issues and had to retire. We will analyse that and aim to come back even stronger next season.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“It was obviously a disappointing outcome for our car. We were very strong at some points and looking good to win, then we ran into the issue which unfortunately took us out of the race. But at least car #8 won and that means we achieved our target of winning the manufacturers’ World Championship. I am very happy for the team and for Toyota, and I’m also pleased for car #8 to win the race with such a strong drive at the end. We’ll all enjoy this moment.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“It’s great to end the season on a high for the team by winning the manufacturers’ World Championship with an amazing victory for car #8. Obviously, it’s bittersweet for our car to see our title rivals not score any points, considering we were in a winning position. Without the technical issue we had the chance to win both championships but that’s part of the game and we have to take it on the chin. Overall, I am just so happy for the team to get their reward today because they really deserve it after an eventful and challenging season.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“It’s crazy to think we won the race considering how it was going at some point. Against all the odds, with issues, penalties and bad luck it’s an amazing feeling for the team to win the World Championship. That was our target here and we’ve achieved it thanks to a brilliant effort from the team. When our car was down in 10th, we were going to the back of the Hypercar field during the pit stops and I thought we were done. But my team-mates did a good job hanging on with the old tyres and that meant I had a tyre advantage at the end. When it mattered today, we did a good job together and I am so pleased for the whole team.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“I am so happy for everyone in the team and at Toyota. The race didn’t go as smoothly at the beginning as it could have done. We tried the medium tyres, but it didn’t work. Then at the end Séb did an unbelievable stint. He was the star; it was an incredible drive. Thanks to everyone in the team, at Toyota and all our partners. We really had to fight for this win and championship, so it means a lot. For our car to end the season with a victory is fantastic going into the winter break.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“What a day. It was an up and down race, but we never gave up and we fought as one team. We started from pole, then got hit by a GT car but still tried our best and put everything behind Séb for a maximum push at the end. On the #8 car, we have had some difficulties this season, so I am happy to finally get a bit of luck. It’s fantastic to finish the season with a win and I am so grateful to the team, as well as to everyone at Toyota and all our partners, for their big efforts to win this manufacturers’ championship.”8 Hours of Bahrain – Result1st #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing 235 laps2nd #51 Ferrari AF Corse (Pier Guidi/Calado/Giovinazzi) +27.539secs3rd #5 Porsche Penske (Campbell/Christensen/Makowiecki) +29.177secs4th #93 Peugeot TotalEnergies (Jensen/Müller/Vergne) +36.799secs5th #35 Alpine Endurance Team (Chatin/Habsburg/Gounon) +37.404secs6th #15 BMW M Team WRT (Vanthoor/Marciello/Wittmann) +47.916secsDNF #7 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Contracts for nine large frame gas turbine units were concluded in the first half, with the largest YoY growth seen in the Americas. Revenue increased by ¥71.2 billion YoY mainly from large volume in Aero Engines and steady project execution in GTCC and Nuclear Power. Margin improvements in GTCC and Steam Power, together with higher revenue and a rebound from 1H FY2023 one-time expenses in Aero Engines, as well as stable performance in Nuclear Power served to increase segment business profit by ¥61.5 billion YoY.In P&I, order intake was up ¥176.6 billion YoY due to strength in Metals Machinery, Machinery Systems, and Waste-to-Energy Systems. Revenue grew by ¥12.1 billion as Metals Machinery continued to work through its extensive backlog. Margin improvements in Engineering and Machinery Systems, combined with increased revenue in Metals Machinery helped to raise segment business profit by ¥12.0 billion YoY.In LT&D, revenue was down ¥0.5 billion YoY due to fewer unit deliveries in Logistics Systems. This issue, combined with additional costs caused by supply chain disruption in Turbochargers resulted in a ¥9.7 billion decline in segment business profit.In ADS, order intake decreased by ¥197.2 billion YoY in response to extremely large orders volume in 1H FY2023 in Defense & Space. Revenue was up ¥112.7 billion YoY mainly due to growth in Aircraft & Missile Systems in Defense & Space. Higher unit deliveries and positive impact from the depreciation of the yen in Commercial Aircraft also served to increase revenue. The factors affecting revenue also served to raise segment business profit by ¥16.5 billion YoY. FY2024 Earnings ForecastMHI revised its guidance for the period ending March 31, 2025, increasing the target for order intake by ¥200 billion over the previous announcement made August 6, 2024. This was in response to steady progress mainly in Energy. Totals for all other financial indicators remained unchanged, while business profit targets for Energy, P&I, and LT&D were updated.(billion yen, except where otherwise stated)FY2024 Earnings ForecastFY2023ActualFY2024Forecast(Previous)FY2024Forecast(Revised)Revised vs.PreviousOrder Intake6,684.05,800.06,000.0+200.0Revenue4,657.14,900.04,900.0-Profit from Business ActivitiesProfit Margin282.56.1%350.07.1%350.07.1%--Profit Attributable to Owners of ParentProfit Margin222.04.8%230.04.7%230.04.7%--ROE11.1%10%10%-EBITDAEBITDA Margin432.69.3%500.010.2%500.010.2%--FCF200.1-100.0-100.0-Dividends20 yen(Note)22 yen22 yen-FY2023 Actual dividends (¥200/share) shown here adjusted retroactively to 1/10 of original value to reflect the 10-for-1 stock split effective April 1, 2024.

Kozawa continued, "In terms of order intake, GTCC and Aero Engines in Energy, and Metals Machinery in P&I were stand-outs, enabling YoY orders growth despite the extremely high level achieved during the same period last year in Defense & Space. Revenue was up mainly in Energy and ADS as these segments steadily executed on their large order backlogs. These revenue increases, combined with margin improvements and depreciation of the yen helped us to greatly increase progress toward our business profit guidance of ¥350 billion.""Based on our results through September of this year, especially in Energy, we have increased our full-year order intake guidance by ¥200 billion," Kozawa went on. "We have also updated the business profit forecast for three of our segments in order to reflect the faster progress seen in Energy and P&I, and the slightly lagging performance in LT&D. All other targets have been restated. Looking forward to the remaining two quarters, we aim to outperform current business profit guidance by continuing the strong trends from the first half while effectively controlling one-time expenses."Attachment 1: 1H FY2024 Financial ResultsFinancial Results (444 KB)Attachment 2: Presentation Materials of Financial ResultsPresentation Materials (888 KB)Downloadable PDF of this press releasePress Release (168 KB) Note regarding forward looking statements:Forecasts regarding future performance outlined in these materials are based on judgments made in accordance with information available at the time they were prepared.

With interest rate cuts taking effect, CWT hopes to take advantage of the favorable macro trend

HONG KONG, Nov 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - In recent weeks, both the Hong Kong and A-shares markets have experienced significant volatility. Following the U.S. Federal Reserve's larger-than-expected interest rate cut on September 19, the markets saw a strong rebound. On September 27, the People's Bank of China announced its largest economic stimulus plan since 2020, which included rate cuts, counter-cyclical monetary policy adjustments, greater-than-expected funding support, the creation of new monetary policy tools to stabilize the stock market, and the injection of approximately 1 trillion yuan (approximately US$141.82 billion) of long-term liquidity into the financial markets. These comprehensive supportive policies further boosted market enthusiasm. The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong peaked at 23,241.74, while the A-shares market gapped up after the National Day holiday, reaching a high of 3,674.40. Both markets saw significant increases in trading volumes, indicating strong market interest.Market data shows that foreign capital inflows have been another driving force behind Hong Kong’s stock market. According to market data, since September, overseas funds have turned into net inflows for the Hong Kong stock market. From mid-September onwards, net inflows from international intermediaries reached HKD 39.6 billion, surpassing the HKD 20.5 billion in net inflows from Mainland China into Hong Kong.Following a sharp short-term rise in Chinese assets, there has been some market correction as investor sentiment cools and profit-taking ensues. However, from a long-term perspective, this correction is necessary. Rather than a speculative bull market, a more structured and gradual rally is healthier for the market and helps investors generate sustainable returns. Over a longer time horizon, the Hong Kong stock market has been undervalued in the past, combined with the liquidity provided by the Federal Reserve's subsequent interest rate cuts and a more comprehensive market turnaround driven by multiple favorable policies. The signals indicating a bottoming out of the Chinese economy are gradually becoming clearer, and the economic fundamentals are improving step by step, suggesting that there is still significant room for growth in the Hong Kong stock market. At the same time, the growth of China's economy has led to an increased demand for commodities and logistics services. In the Hong Kong stock market, there is a company that has been continuously focused on commodities and logistics services.CWT International Limited ("CWT INT'L", 0521.HK, the "Company" together with its subsidiaries the “Group”) is a public limited company incorporated in Hong Kong and its shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The controlling shareholder of the Group is HNA Trust Management Co., Ltd, and the resource endowment of shareholders is a major competitive advantage of the Group. In the first half of 2024, CWT had revenue of 20.276 billion HKD, an increase of 27% from previous year, and a net profit of 121 million HKD.The Group operates its business through four major segments. The logistics services segment is engaged in the provision of services including warehousing, transportation, freight forwarding, and supply chain management. The commodity marketing segment is engaged in physical trading and supply chain management of metals and minerals, mainly non-ferrous base metals such as copper, aluminum, and zinc, as well as energy products. The financial services segment is engaged in the provision of financial brokerage services, and asset management services. The engineering services segment provides engineering maintenance for facilities, vehicles and equipment fleet, and design-and-build solutions for logistics properties. The Group's two major businesses segments: logistics services and commodity marketing, constitute the Group's main source of revenue and profit. The Group continues to promote synergy among all segments, to optimize operating processes and improve supply chain efficiency.CWT originates in Singapore and remains as one of the largest warehousing and logistics service providers in Singapore. The Group continues to explore business opportunities in Greater China and Southeast Asia countries through many routes, such as establishing strategic cooperation and joint venture with local business partners. Since the initiation of the strategic cooperation with Hainan Yangpu Holding Investment in April 2024, the Group has facilitated a number of visiting delegations and exchange activities among the Group, business and industrial experts from Singapore, and local organizations in Hainan, in order to evaluate potential investment and business development opportunities in Hainan Free Trade Port. Meanwhile, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Malaysia, in May 2024, the Group signed a memorandum of understanding with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the global commodities warehousing company Access World Group, in order to extend further collaboration in the area of commodity marketing and logistics.As the Group’s footprint in Greater China and Southeast Asia continues to deepen, its relentless focus is to learn from its experience and copy the success in Singapore and other global regions, to contribute to the economic growth and sustainable development in the regions that it operates, and to create more value for the Shareholders. Looking forward, in addition to operating the business with caution, the Group will promote deeper internal synergy, continue to expand its global commercial network, and seize further growth opportunities in Greater China and other regions to maximize the shareholders’ interests and earn a brighter future.

Bagaimana Rasanya Mempunyai COVID Panjang Sebagai Seorang Kanak-kanak Berita

Bagaimana Rasanya Mempunyai COVID Panjang Sebagai Seorang Kanak-kanak

(SeaPRwire) - Semuanya bermula apabila otak saya mati akal dalam kelas algebra pada suatu hari Januari tahun 2022. Saya tidak dapat menyelesaikan masalah matematik yang mudah; yang saya lihat hanyalah nombor dan simbol. Kelopak mata saya terkulai, kepala saya sakit, saya hampir tidak dapat menahan diri daripada tertidur. Ada sesuatu yang tidak kena. Saya tidak merasakan diri saya sendiri sejak dijangkiti COVID-19 beberapa minggu sebelumnya. Tugas mudah seperti membaca teks atau berdiri pun meletihkan. Tetapi apa yang berlaku di kelas itu menakutkan saya. Pada usia 14 tahun, hidup saya menjadi keadaan keletihan yang berterusan, diselingi oleh lawatan doktor yang, beberapa bulan kemudian, akan membawa kepada diagnosis. Namun, pada minggu-minggu awal itu, saya berasa bertekad. Saya seorang atlet pelajar berprestasi tinggi yang sentiasa ingin menerima cabaran—dan saya yakin bahawa saya dapat mengatasi apa sahaja ini dengan cepat. Itu tidak berlaku. Dan saya tidak tahu betapa sukarnya perjalanan yang akan dihadapi—atau betapa dramatiknya perjalanan itu akan membentuk semula perspektif, pandangan, matlamat, dan hubungan saya. Dua tahun selepas episod awal itu, saya pulih 85%. Saya dapat mengendalikan seharian di sekolah. Kabus otak dan keletihan hanya muncul semula semasa projek yang intensif atau ketika saya sakit. Saya juga telah menemui banyak perkara tentang diri saya, tentang penyakit yang tidak kelihatan, dan tentang pentingnya rakan dan orang tersayang—pelajaran yang dapat membantu sesiapa sahaja yang berada di tengah-tengah penyakit yang mengubah kehidupan, serta sesiapa sahaja yang ingin menawarkan bantuan.Inilah yang telah saya pelajari. Melepaskan bukanlah kegagalan Saya dulu seorang yang mendorong diri saya secara akademik, atletik, dan peribadi. Tetapi dengan Long COVID, . Saya tahu saya perlu bergerak ke arah yang bertentangan. Saya menjatuhkan separuh kelas saya, yang terasa seperti kehilangan separuh daripada diri saya. Tetapi mengurangkan beban kerja saya memberi badan saya jalur lebar untuk sembuh. Saya tidak menyerah pada kehidupan. Saya hanya mengubah fokus saya untuk mencari jalan baru ke hadapan. Dengan penyakit kronik, melambatkan bukan bermaksud berhenti—ia adalah survival. Kemenangan kecil adalah penting Apabila anda biasa bermimpi besar dan mengumpul pencapaian, sukar untuk menerima bahawa kejayaan masa depan mungkin kelihatan berbeza. Tetapi penyakit kronik memaksa anda untuk mentakrif semula apa itu “menang”. Bagi saya, ia bermakna menukar matlamat A straight dan renang kompetitif untuk bangun dari katil dan menghadiri beberapa kelas. Dengan penyakit kronik, momen kecil seperti ini menjadi penanda aras. Sambutlah mereka. Anda tidak boleh menolaknya Sebelum saya sakit, saya percaya bahawa anda boleh mengatasi apa sahaja dengan usaha dan disiplin yang cukup. Jadi saya menyerang penyakit saya dengan sikap yang sama, sering kali terlalu banyak berlatih dalam usaha untuk mendapatkan semula kehidupan lama saya. Tetapi penyakit kronik tidak bertindak balas kepada kekuatan mental semata-mata. Semakin banyak saya menolak, semakin teruk saya rasa. Kadang-kadang, perkara paling kuat yang boleh anda lakukan ialah mendengar badan anda dan menghormati batasannya. Penyakit yang tidak kelihatan adalah pengasingan Orang ramai sukar memahami apa yang tidak dapat mereka lihat. Dan memandangkan tidak ada yang salah dengan saya secara fizikal, sesetengah orang menganggap saya sebenarnya tidak sakit tetapi hanya menyerah pada mereka. Rakan-rakan berhenti menjemput saya keluar. Guru-guru menganggap saya telah berhenti mengambil berat tentang kerja sekolah. Pengasingan yang saya rasa adalah salah satu cabaran yang paling sukar untuk menghadapi Long COVID. Mereka yang menghubungi dan menyokong saya telah menjadi sebahagian daripada rakan saya yang paling saya sayangi. Penyembuhan bukan linear Trajektori bagi kebanyakan penyakit adalah untuk jatuh sakit, berehat, dan menjadi sihat. Tetapi penyakit kronik tidak semudah itu. Ada hari-hari saya bermula dengan kekuatan 50%, yang lain 10%, dan saya tidak pernah tahu ke mana roller coaster itu akan membawa saya. Tenaga yang saya rasakan pada satu jam mungkin hilang pada jam berikutnya. Pada mulanya, guru-guru dan rakan-rakan saya tidak memahami peralihan yang tiba-tiba. Sudah tentu, saya pun tidak. Tetapi hari yang kurang tenaga tidak sama dengan tidak berusaha. Ia hanyalah sebahagian daripada proses penyembuhan. Kecemasan kambuh boleh melumpuhkan Walaupun beberapa gejala fizikal saya mula berkurangan, saya sentiasa berjaga-jaga terhadap kemungkinan kambuh. Setiap kali saya menolak diri saya sedikit lebih kuat, saya bimbang bahawa saya akan kembali ke tempat saya bermula. Ketakutan itu menahan saya daripada benar-benar kembali terlibat dalam sekolah dan aktiviti yang pernah saya sukai. Adalah berguna untuk mengingatkan diri saya bahawa saya tidak perlu kembali kepada “normal” sekaligus—kemajuan kecil, beransur-ansur sudah cukup. Ia boleh menjadikan anda lebih kuat dari segi mental Penyakit kronik mengubah anda. Ia memaksa anda untuk melambatkan, memikirkan semula apa itu kejayaan, dan mencari cara baru untuk mengukur kemajuan. Pada masa yang sama, ia membuka tingkap kepada diri anda dan dunia di sekeliling anda. Dan apa yang telah saya temui ialah kekuatan dalaman yang baru dan rasa diri yang baru. Saya masih mengejar matlamat, tetapi sekarang ia lebih peribadi, lebih bermakna. Saya rasa lebih berakar umbi dalam nilai yang benar-benar menjadi milik saya sendiri, dan bukan berdasarkan apa yang diharapkan oleh masyarakat daripada saya. Saya telah belajar bagaimana untuk mencari makna walaupun menghadapi batasan. Saya juga telah membangunkan empati yang lebih mendalam kepada mereka yang bergelut dengan penyakit kronik mereka sendiri. Mendengar tanpa penghakiman, menawarkan kesabaran dan bukannya tekanan, dan menunjukkan sokongan tanpa syarat: Kebaikan-kebaikan ini adalah kunci kepada pemulihan saya, dan ia sangat penting bagi sesiapa sahaja yang hidup dalam kegelapan penyakit kronik. Terima kasih kepada contoh orang lain, saya kini bersedia untuk membantu mereka yang memerlukan—dan bersemangat untuk membalas budi.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Jeff Bezos, Pemilik Amazon, Menjadi Lelaki Kedua Terkaya di Dunia Perniagaan

Jeff Bezos, Pemilik Amazon, Menjadi Lelaki Kedua Terkaya di Dunia

(SeaPRwire) - Selepas Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos juga telah melepasi tanda $200 bilion menurut carta teratas Forbes untuk nilai bersih. Beliau kini merupakan lelaki terkaya kedua di dunia. Bandar Raya New York, New York 4 November 2024 - Pengasas dan pemilik Amazon dan banyak lagi usaha perniagaan lain, Jeff Bezos telah menjadi lelaki terkaya kedua di seluruh dunia selepas mengatasi Larry Ellison; pengasas dan ketua pegawai teknologi Oracle. Laporan itu menjadi ketara dengan ranking bilionair masa nyata Forbes yang dikemas kini setiap masa. Selepas harga saham Amazon melonjak pada hari Jumaat; Bezos telah mengambil lompatan besar ke hadapan. Saham untuk e-dagang telah melonjak lebih daripada 6%. Syarikat itu baru-baru ini mendedahkan pendapatannya untuk suku ketiga dan angka-angka itu melebihi jangkaan Wall Street. Amazon melaporkan jumlah pendapatannya untuk suku itu pada hari Khamis selepas pasaran ditutup dan ia melaporkan pendapatan $1.43 sesaham bersama-sama dengan jumlah besar $158.9 bilion dalam hasil. Amazon Web Services kini memperoleh margin operasi yang tinggi pada semua masa. Pelabur telah bersiap sedia untuk kekecewaan kerana syarikat itu telah melaburkan berbilion-bilion dolar dalam projek satelit mereka Kuiper. Bagaimanapun, ia tidak berlaku dan syarikat itu telah membuktikan semua orang salah. Bezos mempunyai strategi yang berbeza kerana dia meletak jawatan sebagai CEO untuk menjadi pengerusi eksekutif syarikat pada tahun 2021 yang kini memiliki 10% daripadanya. Jeff Bezos juga memiliki akhbar popular The Washington Post bersama-sama dengan Blue Origin yang kini merupakan pesaing terbesar kepada SpaceX milik Elon Musk. Syarikat aeroangkasa ini kini menghasilkan roket yang boleh membawa manusia ke angkasa selain daripada angkasawan. Pada masa ini, Elon Musk dan Jeff Bezos adalah satu-satunya bilionair yang tergolong dalam markah teratas. Nilai bersih yang dianggarkan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Meta Mark Zuckerberg telah jatuh jauh di bawah $200 bilion. Dengan lebih banyak pelaburan teknologi, gergasi media sosial itu menantikan peningkatan yang besar pada hari-hari mendatang.Media ContactDaniel Martin Source :Daniel MartinArtikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Will New Gonow Recreational Vehicles Make It the Next Thor Industries?

HONG KONG, Nov 4, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - RVs have become an important means of modern travel and leisure, and have gained increasing popularity worldwide in recent years. There are numerous world-renowned RV brands, and among the RV companies that have already entered the capital market, there are three listed on the US stock market: Thor Industries (THO.US), Winnebago (WGO.US), and Camping World (CWH.US). Among them, Thor Industries has the highest market value and its stock price has risen by nearly 30% since late June this year.Australasia is the third largest RV market in the world after North America and Europe, and is one of the fastest-growing RV markets. New Gonow Recreational Vehicles, founded by the former "Geely Marshal " Miao Xuezhong, occupies a leading position in the market, with its performance, popularity and brand reputation continuing to improve. It is reported that after submitting its application for main board listing to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the first half of the year, the Company received a notice of record-filing from the China Securities Regulatory Commission on 9 September, and its IPO plan is proceeding smoothly.The global RV market is thriving, with a diverse landscapeRVs, with the dual functions of "home" and "vehicle", are movable homes that combine "clothing, food, housing, and transportation" in one, which can fully satisfy people's demand for personalized and free travel. Its history can be traced back to the popularity of camping in the United States in the 1920s, and since then, RVs have rapidly become popular all over the world. With its high degree of freedom and flexibility, RV travel has become the choice of more and more travelers.Overall, the global RV market is characterized by fierce competition and a large number of players, with the North American and European RV markets being relatively mature, while the Chinese RV market is still in its early stages. Among the well-known RV companies, Thor Industries, Forest River, Winnebago, and others in the United States have gained widespread recognition from consumers for their excellent design and high-quality manufacturing processes, and have dominant positions in the market.Several well-known brands are distinctive, with Thor Industries known for its innovative product design and global market presence, Winnebago Industries for its high-end RVs and innovative technology, especially in its exploration of the electric RV segment, and Forest River for its reliability and diverse product line. Through continuous technological innovation and market expansion strategies, these brands have steadily maintained their positions at the forefront of the industry. Some well-known local manufacturers in the European RV market include Hymer in Germany, Dethleffs in the Netherlands, and Auto-Trail in the UK. In the Australasian market, well-known RV brands include Jayco, Snowy River, and Regent.In terms of category, RVs can be mainly categorized into two types: towable RVs and motorized RVs. Towable RVs can be further categorized into standard caravans, pop-tops, and camper trailers. According to Frost & Sullivan (the same below), in 2023, the standard caravan was the major segment in the Australasian market, capturing a substantial 72.1% share, up from 67.1% in 2019. New Gonow Recreational Vehicles, which owns well-known brands such as Snowy River and Regent, is the top RV company in the Australasian market and ranked second in terms of sales in the Australasian market in 2023.By accurately positioning itself, New Gonow Recreational Vehicles is able to break through and stand out in the marketDriven by a booming tourism industry and a high number of international visitors, road trips through RVs have become a mature travel method in Australasia. Measured by RV household penetration, Australasia had a remarkable ownership rate of 78.8 RVs per thousand households in 2023, significantly surpassing Europe’s rate of 21.7 and ranking second globally. Tourists traveling in RVs also inject vitality into the economy. It is expected that the total RV in use in Australasia will reach 1,175.0 thousand units in 2028, representing a CAGR of 5.7% from 2024, outpacing the growth in North America and Europe.The Australasia RV market exhibits a relatively concentrated structure, with the top five participants holding approximately 55.4% of the market share in 2023. New Gonow Recreational Vehicles, which primarily manufactures and sells standard caravans, has a significant competitive advantage. As a high-end product in the towable RV market, standard caravans have a higher barrier to entry in terms of technology, and companies that excel in this field tend to have strong manufacturing capabilities, allowing them to innovate and produce high-quality, durable RVs equipped with advanced features and technology, and have a greater chance of competing for market pricing power and increasing brand premiums. New Gonow Recreational Vehicles is undoubtedly a top participant in this market.According to A1 prospectus, the development journey of New Gonow Recreational Vehicles began in 2014. The Company's founder and CEO, Miao Xuezhong, previously served as a senior executive at Geely Automobile, with over 25 years of experience in the automotive industry and extensive management experience. In September 2014, he led the Company to acquire Regent, an Australian RV brand with a history of more than 30 years, thus enabling New Gonow Recreational Vehicles to gradually expand its presence in the RV market and continue to broaden its product portfolio and stand out from the competition.Products are the foundation of survival for RV companies, and New Gonow Recreational Vehicles offers a full spectrum of functionalities and an expansive range of auxiliary services through the design, development, manufacturing, and sales of various bespoke towable RVs. As of 31 December 2023, the Company has successfully mass-produced 39 RV models, which are all standard caravans, spanning seven distinct series under three characteristic brands: the mid-range best-selling brand Snowy River, luxury brand Regent, and semi-off-road brand NEWGEN. With a comprehensive product lineup, New Gonow Recreational Vehicles can meet the full range of demands from entry-level to high-end luxury models.Despite the overall growth of the RV market, competition has become increasingly fierce with more and more brands entering the Australasian market. American brand Jayco has the highest market share, reaching 31.5% in 2023 and holding a leading position. The world's largest RV manufacturers such as Thor Industries and Forest River are also continuously competing for market share. To stay ahead of the competition and achieve further development, it is essential for New Gonow Recreational Vehicles to continuously introduce new products, technologies, and services to improve its competitiveness and market share.Overall, New Gonow Recreational Vehicles' competitive advantages lie in its highly customizable and continuously upgraded range of RV products, strong product development capabilities, excellent manufacturing capabilities, diverse distribution channels, and high brand awareness. After about a decade of development, the Company has launched nine new models under Regent and four new models under Snowy River, as well as upgraded 13 models under Snowy River. At the same time, the Company is gradually improving its dealership network consisting of third-party dealer stores, self-owned stores, official online websites and JV stores.Through its continuous efforts in the value chain of the RV industry, New Gonow Recreational Vehicles has been expanding its customer base in the Australasian market. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, the Company delivered a total of 1,330, 2,127, and 2,694 RVs to customers respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 59.9% and 26.7% in 2022 and 2023 respectively. In early October, at the Melbourne Leisurefest, the largest exhibition in the second half of 2024 in Melbourne, the Company launched its latest Snowy River model, PopTop and concept RV, Vancave, and received a large number of orders.It is also worth mentioning that the Company has also followed the trend of electrification and digitalization development and actively built a sustainable and environmentally friendly path for RV electrification, becoming one of the first RV enterprises to commercialize electric RV solutions and taking the lead in the intelligent transformation of the industry. Currently, the Company is developing a trailblazing model of towable ERV equipped with intelligent technology and autonomous driving system, which is expected to be delivered in Australia by the first quarter of 2025.In terms of financial performance, New Gonow Recreational Vehicles achieved revenues of approximately RMB300 million, RMB499 million and RMB720 million in 2021, 2022, and 2023, respectively, representing a CAGR of 55.0%, with revenues in 2023 being 2.4 times higher than those in 2021. During the same period, the CAGRs of gross profit, net profit and net cash generated from operating activities were approximately 90.1%, 77.2%, and 148.4%, respectively. The impressive profit performance and rapid improvement in liquidity not only demonstrate the Company's successful business model, but also highlight its high-growth performance.New Gonow Recreational Vehicles has already secured a place in the emerging Australasian RV market, which is still relatively small, but its potential is being fully demonstrated. With the huge market opportunity and its attempt to become the "first stock of Chinese RVs", the Company is expected to become a new star in the capital market, attracting more attention from investors.
