These deals provide clear technical endorsement of, and value parameters for, these and our other wholly owned Kincora projects.Kincora shareholders now have immediate exposure to up to 11,000m of drilling before year-end across three projects and testing up to 13 large-scale porphyry targets.Kincora continues to seek to work with existing and new technical and funding partners to apply industry leading exploration techniques to systematically advance and de-risk our highly prospective large-scale project pipeline of porphyry targets.We are not finished. More deals, partnerships and projects with a clear value path are proposed.Our recent review of the new Nevertire South Project has been extremely positive supporting what we believe is the most attractive geologically supported target in the covered extensions of the Macquarie Arc. Other comparable earlier stage and higher risk projects have recently attracted five partner deals and potentially over $300m in exploration expenditure."Standout drill targets at the new Nevertire South Project(Macquarie Arc, Australia)Pegged as open ground, Kincora recently secured three bolt-on licenses covering a total of 1,377km2 (100% ownership), including the Nyngan West, Nyngan South and Nevertire South Projects. This creates a continuous north-south strike extent of over 100km of the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt (NJNB), including the Nyngan and Nevertire Projects - see Figure 1.Of particular note was securing the Nevertire South Project (962km2), which consolidates the southern section of the Nevertire Magmatic Complex (NMC). Previous explorer drilling on the southern third of the NMC has returned anomalous mineralisation, favourable fertility, geochemical zonation and alteration confirming a copper-gold porphyry system setting with age dates confirming a prospective Phase 4 Macquarie Arc intrusive complex.Figure 1: Existing geophysics and limited drilling to date supports Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti's interpretation that the Northern Junee-Narromine Belt hosts the potential for multiple new composite volcanic and intrusive complexes with analogous aeromagnetic signatures and intrusive level cross arc structures to other Macquarie Arc porphyry complexes (eg Cadia, Cowal, Boda-Kaiser, Marsden etc) The Macquarie Arc is a proven Tier 1 terrane and Australia's foremost copper porphyry belt hosting a number of world-class mines in the southern, more exploration mature, of the Arc hosting over 160Moz gold equivalent endowmentTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/225944_figure1.jpgKincora has recently secured three prior Newcrest drill holes from the Cadia mine site for the Nevertire South Project. Relogging of these holes has been undertaken by Kincora's Technical Director, John Holliday, significantly upgrading the Project.The review of these holes, we believe the first since that of Newcrest's in 2006-09, supports Newcrest's previous view that its limited drilling "has identified lithologies, alteration and veining consistent with a setting similar to the Cadia-Ridgeway and Goonumbla porphyry Cu-Au deposits" 3.Subsequent age dates have confirmed an analogous setting to the Cadia and Northparkes/ Goonumbla deposits. Kincora's review confirms that the best of these prior holes (ACDNY006) has not been followed up despite a very encouraging intersection of anomalous copper mineralisation (from basement to end of hole), veining and magnetite alteration situated in a highly prospective high volcanic-hosted level.In Kincora's view this supports Nevertire South being the most advanced porphyry project and most attractive geologically supported target in the covered northern extension of the Macquarie Arc, and noting an untested strike for over 8km from these favorable prior drill results within the NMC. A priority drill program has been designed, including the ambition to either discover or create a vectoring pattern to a possible deposit stepping out from ACDNY006.Earlier stage targets in the Macquarie Arc have recently attracted five major earn-in/option and joint venture agreements supporting potentially over $300 million in exploration and development expenditure, including the recent option and joint venture agreements between Gold Fields and privately owned Gold & Copper Resources 4.Discussions with potential technical and funding partners are progressing.For further details and technical disclosures refer to the following Kincora release:September 9th, 2024, "Kincora Secures New Strategic Ground On Australia's Premier Porphyry Copper-Gold Province"AngloGold Ashanti earn-in and joint venture agreement for the Nyngan and Nevertire Projects(Macquarie Arc, Australia)The Nyngan Project was the first ground Kincora secured in NSW with regional geophysics strongly indicating the potential to hosts the largest volcano-intrusive complex of the Macquarie Arc (existing metal endowment of over 160Moz gold equivalent 5) and offering a new district-scale setting. Limited prior drilling activities have taken place, and are confined to the southern portion of the Project.In May 2024, Kincora signed a definitive multiple-phase Earn-in and Joint Venture Agreement over the Nyngan and Nevertire licences with a wholly owned subsidiary of AngloGold Ashanti plc (NYSE: AU), the world's fourth largest gold miner by production, which has a successful track record for Greenfields discovery success.AngloGold Ashanti has the right to spend up to A$50 million to earn an 80% interest through:A$25 million of exploration expenditure to earn a 70% joint venture interest (Phase I) including a minimum A$2 million expenditure obligation, with Kincora the initial operator for a 10% management fee.Completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) or funding of a further $25 million of expenditure to earn an 80% joint venture interest (Phase II). Figure 2: Fleet Space's ANT and gravity surveys have covered a regionally significant priority drill target previously and separately identified by Kincora, AngloGold Ashanti and Fleet Space within the northern "Ace of Spades" region of the Nyngan Project. This target is to be very shortly drill tested as part of the first ever copper-gold focused drilling program within this region. As part of a permitted drill program for up to 16 holes, a 6 to 8-hole for an estimated 4000-5000m program is budgeted before year-end with earn-in partner AngloGold AshantiKincora and Inflection's recent real-time Fleet Space ANT surveys have generated a number of new, previously unrecognised potential target areas that are currently being reviewedTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2305/225944_figure%202.jpgThe mobilised drilling program is focused within the northern portion of the Nyngan Project and the "Ace of Spades" region testing a wide range of untested, large intrusive-related copper-gold targets - see Figure 2.The program will comprise cost-effective mud-rotary drilling through the post mineral cover sequence with diamond core drilling upon refusal and testing of the targeted basement. The program seeks to confirm the potential for a series of new Macquarie Arc intrusive complexes and provide vectors for follow up drilling.Kincora notes neighbouring explorer drilling by Inflection has just recommenced at the Duck Creek target adjacent to the Nyngan Project (also in partnership with AngloGold Ashanti). This follows encouraging results, including intense hydrothermal alteration and sulphide mineralisation ~1.4km from license boundary in hole DCKDH020 1 - see Figure 2.Inflection has reported hole DCKDH020 returned a broad zone of elevated copper (max 788ppm) and arsenic values average 43.9ppm over a 448.5m interval (max 212ppm) noting these are "highly anomalous as 200m to 500m from the Cadia Ridgeway ore body (Newmont Corporation) reports arsenic in the 20ppm to 30ppm range and copper in the 200ppm to 300ppm range." DCKCDH020 is being followed up with a number of step-out drills to explore for a possible porphyry source for the alteration and geochemical data 1.For further details and technical disclosures refer to the following Kincora releases:August 14th, 2024, "Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti's First Drilling Program"May 28th, 2024, "AngloGold Ashanti to earn-in to the NJNB Project"Fleet Space proprietary geophysical partnership for the Nyngan Project(Macquarie Arc, Australia)Fleet Space was Australia's fastest growing company in 2023 6 and is widely recognised as Australia's leading space exploration company. Fleet Space seeks to revolutionise mineral exploration with its vertically integrated technology stack, ExoSphere, which combines the latest advances in satellite connectivity, 3D multiphysics data acquisition, and AI to map mineral systems in real-time.Kincora, in partnership with Fleet Space, has recently completed Fleet Space's first ever integration of Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) and ground gravity geophysical surveys within a portion of the "Ace of Spades" region of the Nyngan Project - see Figure 2.The surveys cover a regionally significant priority drill target previously and separately identified by Kincora, AngloGold Ashanti and Fleet Space, with final interpretations of the surveys pending.Within the immediate district Fleet Space has recently completed the world's largest real-time ANT copper survey with Inflection Resources, undertaken a total of four project level surveys (including for Waratah's Spur Project, Inflection's Duck Creek Project and Alkane's Boda-Kaiser deposits) and built a proprietary AI-powered district scale copper prospectivity map. The Fleet Space surveys complement Kincora and AngloGold Ashanti's earn-in and joint venture agreement and exploration approach.For further details and technical disclosures refer to the following Kincora releases:July 25th, 2024, "ANT and Gravity Geophysical Surveys at the Nyngan Project"Earth AI success based Exploration Alliance for the Cundumbul Project(Macquarie Arc, Australia)Earth AI is a private Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning explorer that has a vertically integrated approach to targeting, testing and verifying new critical mineral discoveries.Earth AI is the operator of the Exploration Alliance for the Cundumbul Project and has the right to contribute up to $4.5m of total exploration expenditure over a three-year period (having recently exercised an option for an additional year).Subject to a minimum of 1,500 metres of diamond drilling (already satisfied) and a Qualifying Drilling Intersection resulting in a new discovery (as defined within the Exploration Alliance Agreement), Earth AI is entitled to a Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) of up to 3% in connection with a to be agreed upon area surrounding the discovery (Area of Interest, size dependent on the extent of the newly discovered mineral system). Kincora retains 100% ownership of the Project.Field mapping, soil and rock chip sampling by Earth AI has identified a new 2.2km x 800m copper target in the central portion of the Cundumbul license with an ongoing multiple phase drilling program seeking to test three separate targets across a 750m strike associated with a zoned hydrothermal quartz breccia system (a key geological marker at the Boda-Kaiser deposits to the north in the same volcanic belt of the Macquarie Arc).For further details and technical disclosures refer to the following Kincora releases:May 20, 2024, "Exploration Alliance partner Earth AI drilling commenced at the Cundumbul project"October 6th, 2022, "Alliance with Artificial Intelligence Explorer for Cundumbul project"Woomera earn-in and joint venture agreement for the Bronze Fox Project(Southern Gobi, Mongolia)Following a successful strategic review process for Kincora's Mongolian assets, a definitive Earn-In Implement Agreement (EIA) was signed on September 30th, 2024, with ASX listed Woomera Mining Limited (Woomera, ASX ticker "WML").Woomera is a funded, successful and motivated partner with Kincora retaining attractive exposure to the Mongolian assets by becoming Woomera's largest shareholder and with an earn-in and carry/bullet payment and NSR model.Woomera has commenced a maiden drilling program with a three-pronged approach:Confirmation of a shallower, higher grade corridor: a single diamond drill hole for up to 900m depth is designed to confirm new high grade discovery potential within an open structural zone associated with a series of four prior drill holes which all returned intervals of over 1% copper, including prior hole F62 which returned 929m @ 0.37% CuEq including 318m @ 0.53% CuEq and 37m @ 1.01% CuEq 2.Woomera's designed hole seeks to test an open western strike for potential higher grades at shallower levels than prior drilling associated with a mapped vein corridor coincident with Induced Polarisation (IP), gravity and magnetic anomalies.Given the spacing and depth of the higher grade mineralisation returned in the series of four prior holes is excluded from the existing JORC Mineral Resource Estimate and the designed hole has the potential to demonstrate significant upside potential in volume and grade of the existing resource if successful.Expand existing shallow resource inventory: infill and expansion drilling is planned on the western higher-grade trend to the existing JORC Resource of 194Mt at 0.26% CuEq 2. The program is expected to increase both the tonnage and grade of the existing resource if successful.Securing mining licence: infill and expansion drilling is expected to be sufficient to satisfy the criteria needed to secure a mining license on the western exploration license, in addition to the existing mining license on the eastern license. Securing the second mining license would provide a minimum of 30-year security of tenure across the full Bronze Fox project, that covers ~175km2 and includes three large and near surface intrusive complexes.For further details and technical disclosures refer to the following Woomera releases:September 30th, 2024, "Woomera to Commence Drilling at Bronze Fox Project"August 20th, 2024, "Prospectus"References:1 Inflection Resources Provides Drilling Update from Phase II Duck Creek Exploration Program in New South Wales - press release October 3, 2024 2 Kincora Copper ASX Announcement: Mineral resource and updated exploration target for Bronze Fox, July 26th 2022 and Woomera Mining ASX Release: Woomera secures advanced copper / gold project in world-class Mongolian Copper Belt, August 12th, 20243 Newcrest Mining Limited final annual report (2009) for EL6337 (open file)4 Gold Fields H1 2024 Results - August 23, 20245 Sourced from MinEx Consulting for Kincora6 According to the Australian Financial Review (2023).About Kincora Kincora Copper is dual listed on the ASX and TSX-V (ticker "KCC") and is an active explorer and project generator focused on world-class copper-gold discoveries.

OCI Holdings Accelerates Its Presence in Malaysia: Implementing a Targeted Localisation Strategy, including Sponsorship of Sports and Cultural events SeaPRwire

OCI Holdings Accelerates Its Presence in Malaysia: Implementing a Targeted Localisation Strategy, including Sponsorship of Sports and Cultural events

Seoul, Korea – October 09, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – OCI Holdings just announced on October 7 that it has made significant strides in strengthening its relationships with key figures and local residents in Sarawak, Malaysia, the production hub for its solar PV polysilicon. To develop stronger relationships with key figures and local residents in Malaysia, a running event and badminton class were held in late September. Announcing a new slogan ‘Envisioning a healthier future through life science and clean energy’ Online and offline training on Malay language and culture were provided for Korean employees in Seoul in late August. OCI Holdings plans to enhance its ties with the local community and conduct environmental, social, governance (ESG) activities in Malaysia to support its subsidiary OCI M. These initiatives aim to navigate the challenges posed by global economic uncertainties in the second half of this year, including the potential impact of the U.S. presidential election and U.S. tariffs on China, as well as a potential temporary slowdown in demand in the solar PV industry. Fostering stronger relationships with localresidents, led by sports star Lee Yong-dae OCI Holdings hosted a one-day badminton class at the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Bintulu Campus on September 29. The purpose of the event was to nurture young sports talents and promote health among local residents and featured Korean badminton legend Lee Yong-dae from the Leeyongdae Badminton Foundation. In the morning, Lee provided one-point lessons to 30 young players recommended by the Bintulu Badminton Association. He focused on various game situations and fundamental techniques, including the serve, smash, forehand step-in, and backhand return. In the afternoon, he engaged in friendly matches with badminton club members and local residents. The popular badminton legend drew a crowd of more than 300 spectators who filled the gymnasium with excitement. His star power rivals that of top idols with his widespread appeal. Given the widespread popularity of badminton in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and India, OCI Holdings partnered with Lee in consideration of his influence and expertise. Lee Yong-dae, a leading badminton star from Korea who won gold in mixed doubles at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and bronze in men’s doubles at the 2012 London Olympics, was an active player in Indonesia near Sarawak in 2015. On September 27, Lee met with young players from Persatuan Badminton Bumiputra Sarawak (PBBS) comprised of ethnic Malays, and provided one-on-one coaching to support their aspirations. Joint eco-friendly running event organized with key Sarawak organizations OCI Holdings co-hosted the Kuching Green Run 2024 in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia on September 28. The Kuching Green Run 2024, an inaugural eco-friendly cultural event held to raise community awareness of sustainable renewable energy and climate protection, was organized by the local social enterprise Green Generation in collaboration with OCI Holdings, Dewan Bandaraya Kuching Utara (DBKU), and Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC). Several local companies, including the Malaysian national petroleum company PETONAS and China Communications Construction Company, participated as sponsors. The opening ceremony was attended by OCI Holdings Chairman Woo Hyun Lee, OCI M President Seong Gil Choi, and more than 20 key figures from Sarawak, including Sarawak Economic Development Corporation (SEDC) Chairman Tan Sri Datuk Amar Abdul Aziz Husain and State Deputy Minister of Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts of Sarawak Datuk Sebastian Ting Yew. Despite the hot and humid weather, Chairman Lee, who had traveled from Seoul for the event, visited every area of the venue, encouraging participants along the way. He remarked, “It is meaningful for us to promote a healthy lifestyle with sports and engage with the local community. In line with our motto, ‘Envisioning a healthier future through life science and clean energy,’ OCI M, as a prominent company in Sarawak, will actively participate in various ESG initiatives including cultural events and scholarship programs.” On September 30, OCI M donated an ultrasound machine, valued at tens of millions of won, to Sarawak General Hospital in partnership with Sarawak Badan Amal Tenaga Isteri-Isteri (SABATI), a nonprofit charity organization led by the spouses of prominent figures in Sarawak, contributing to healthcare and well-being in the local community. In Korea, staff are learning the Malaysian greeting “Salam.” OCI Holdings organized a special lecture on Malaysian culture and history for its employees at the headquarters in Jung-gu, Seoul, in late August. Professors Ummi Hani Binti Abu Hassan and Kim Dong-hun from the Department of Malay-Indonesian Studies at Hankook University of Foreign Studies conducted the lecture to 100 employees. The lecture encompassed Malaysia’s history, its multicultural nature, and business etiquette with sessions streamed online for employees of domestic and international subsidiaries. Professor Ummi, a Malaysian, demonstrated the Muslim greeting “salam,” which involves raising the right hand to the left breast and lowering one’s head. Employees followed her example and learned the meaning behind the gesture: “I greet you with my heart.” Despite being a predominantly Muslim country, Malaysia is a multicultural state composed of various ethnic groups including Malays (57.9%), Chinese (22.6%), and Indians (6.6%). With this lecture, employees gained valuable insights into these cultural differences. For instance, only Malaysian Muslims have the word “Islam” on their identification cards. Yong-sun Cho, team manager of the Strategy Team I of OCI Holdings, who participated in the lecture, said, “It was a valuable opportunity to gain knowledge about Malaysia’s history and cultural nuances that I was previously unaware of. Thanks to the Malaysian lessons I have attended, I can now communicate more effectively with local Malaysians.” OCI Holdings has also offered a three-month basic Malaysian conversation course to employees at the team manager level and above starting in June.

(SeaPRwire) - 一名匈牙利反对党活动家兼市议员于周二在法国斯特拉斯堡的一次新闻发布会上,在匈牙利总理维克多·欧尔班概述匈牙利为期六个月的轮值主席国计划时,打断了他的讲话。这名活动家马尔顿·吉耶基茨基,在欧尔班谈到他对移民的反对时打断了他,朝欧尔班所在的讲台跑去,并向总理扔了一叠看起来像是钞票的东西。“你出卖了国家多少?你出卖了国家多少,总理先生?”吉耶基茨基在纸张散落时大喊。“他向普京出卖了,他向习近平出卖了!”——指俄罗斯和中国领导人。这次扰乱事件发生在欧尔班准备在周三匈牙利担任欧盟为期六个月的轮值主席国期间,在欧洲议会发表讲话之际。他的政府长期以来一直与欧盟发生冲突,因为它认为欧尔班削减了民主权利,并且越来越多地因其与俄罗斯和中国的密切关系而受到抨击。这名活动家吉耶基茨基被一名保安制服并带离房间,他是匈牙利民主党联盟的成员,也是布达佩斯郊区的一名地方议员。该党主席、前总理费伦茨·久尔恰尼后来在社交媒体上写道,他对吉耶基茨基的行为感到“自豪”。“我们将在任何地方、任何时候都说:匈牙利有一个叛国政府!”他写道。预计欧尔班将在周三的欧盟议会中受到褒贬不一的评价。许多议员一直敦促剥夺他的政府的欧盟资金,因为他们认为匈牙利存在违反法治和腐败的行为。两年前,欧洲议会宣布,欧尔班领导下的匈牙利已成为“选举专制政权的混合政权”,将其排除在民主国家社区之外。然而,欧尔班今年成功地在欧洲议会内组建了“欧洲爱国者”党团,团结来自欧洲各地的极右翼政党,成为欧盟立法机构中第三大党团。在周二的新闻发布会上,欧尔班哀叹他所看到的欧盟经济衰退和竞争力下降,以及中国的发展,他说他认为这是“我们必须面对的最严峻挑战”。他还反对最近通过的对中国生产的电动汽车征收的欧盟关税,并痛斥移民,他认为移民正在导致欧盟无签证申根区解体,因为德国、奥地利、意大利和斯洛文尼亚等国家已在边境实施了临时边境管控。“这些个别尝试实际上会破坏申根体系,”欧尔班说,并补充说他提议定期举行“申根峰会”,让成员国聚会讨论边界政策。“我们需要一个重大、共同的决定,”他说。针对活动家的扰乱行为,欧尔班“对匈牙利政治文化作出了解释”。“当一位匈牙利政治家告诉另一位政治家他是流氓时,在我们文化中,这仅仅意味着‘我不同意你的观点’,”他说。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

麥德琳·麥肯失蹤案嫌疑人被判無罪,但因其他性侵罪名仍在獄中 News

麥德琳·麥肯失蹤案嫌疑人被判無罪,但因其他性侵罪名仍在獄中

(SeaPRwire) - 德國法院周二宣判一名男子無罪,該男子也因2007年英國幼童麥德琳·麥肯失踪案而接受調查。布倫瑞克州法院宣判這名47歲的德國公民無罪,當地媒體已確認其身份為克里斯蒂安·布呂克納,他被控犯有兩項強姦罪和兩項性虐待罪。然而,根據德國通訊社dpa的報導,布呂克納還將在監獄中待一年,因為他仍在服刑另一項強姦案的七年刑期。自2月以來,布呂克納一直因涉嫌於2000年至2017年期間在葡萄牙犯下的罪行而接受審判。辯護律師指出了他們所稱的證據不足和不可信的證人,並暗示如果他不也是麥肯案的嫌疑人,他可能不會被指控。檢察官認為,他應該被判處15年有期徒刑,並且在服刑期滿後繼續被羈押。根據dpa的說法,主審法官烏塔·恩格曼說:“我們掌握的證據不足以證明被告有罪。”她補充說,“我們正在處理不可靠的證人,其中一些人故意對法庭撒謊。”恩格曼認為,證人的陳述受到媒體對布呂克納的報導影響,她說布呂克納已被“塑造成……和兒童殺手”。檢察官表示他們將對判決提出上訴。檢察官漢斯·克里斯蒂安·沃爾特斯說:“我們認為該決定是錯誤的,因此我們將向德國最高法院提出上訴,以便最高法院可以檢查判決是否存在錯誤。”布呂克納的律師弗里德里希·福爾施爾在宣判後告訴記者,“從辯護方的角度來看,這是可以預見的,至少只有一種結果符合事實和法律情況,那就是無罪釋放。”布呂克納尚未被指控犯有麥肯案,他因涉嫌謀殺罪而接受調查。他在葡萄牙度過了許多年,包括在麥德琳於2007年失踪的度假勝地普拉亞達盧茲。他否認與她失踪有任何關聯。他目前正在服刑七年徒刑,他在2019年被布倫瑞克州法院判決因在2005年在葡萄牙強姦一名72歲的美國婦女而被判處七年徒刑。布倫瑞克州法院擁有管轄權,因為布呂克納的最後一個德國住所位於下薩克森州的該市。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

墨西哥市長就任六天後,頭顱被放在皮卡車頂上

(SeaPRwire) - 周日,一名暴力肆虐的城市市長被殺害,他的斷頭身軀被棄置在皮卡車裡,而他的頭顱則被放置在車頂上。 43 歲的亞歷杭德羅·阿爾科斯在就任墨西哥西南部奇爾潘辛戈市長僅 6 天後就被殺害,奇爾潘辛戈是一個擁有約 28 萬人口的城市。 該城市是格雷羅州的首府,暴力事件頻發,以至於一個販毒集團在 2023 年公開舉行示威,劫持了政府裝甲車並劫持了警察作為人質,以換取被捕嫌犯的釋放。 社交媒體上流傳著疑似阿爾科斯斷頭顱放置在一輛白色皮卡車頂上的照片。在其他照片中,可以看到他的無頭屍體被毯子部分遮蓋,位於皮卡車的乘客座位上。阿爾科斯在遇害前在社交媒體上的帖子顯示,他正在監督上個月洪水影響後的救災工作,這次洪水導致海濱度假勝地阿卡普爾科及其周邊城鎮嚴重洪水。周一,包括阿爾科斯妻子在內的哀悼者參加了這位遇害官員的葬禮。格雷羅州州長埃夫林·薩爾加多在社交媒體上發表聲明稱:「他的去世讓整個格雷羅社會悲痛,並讓我們感到憤慨。」墨西哥革命制度黨(PRI)的國家領袖亞歷杭德羅·莫雷諾對阿爾科斯的遇害表示哀悼,並表示,這是在新市政府秘書弗朗西斯科·塔皮亞被槍殺三天後發生的。 莫雷諾在他的社交媒體賬戶上寫道:「他們上任還不到一周。」「他們是年輕而誠實的公務員,他們為自己的社區尋求進步。」莫雷諾呼籲聯邦檢察長辦公室主持對阿爾科斯和塔皮亞謀殺案的調查,因為「格雷羅州的無政府狀態。」格雷羅州已成為有抱負的和當選的公職人員以及記者最危險的州之一。在墨西哥 6 月 2 日選舉前夕,該州至少有 6 名公職候選人被殺害。兩大販毒集團「阿迪洛斯」和「特拉科斯」之間的爭鬥仍在繼續。這場戰鬥導致了數十起令人毛骨悚然的殺戮事件和一些引人注目的醜聞。一位前任市長被拍到在一家餐廳與其中一個幫派的領導人會面。她隨後被逐出她的政黨。2023 年 7 月,聯邦官員表示,當月在奇爾潘辛戈舉行的數百人參加的示威活動是由阿迪洛斯幫派組織的,目的是要求釋放兩名因持有毒品和武器而被捕的幫派頭目。示威者在兩天內幾乎封鎖了通往墨西哥城和阿卡普爾科的公路上的所有交通,與安全部隊發生衝突,並搶奪了一輛警用裝甲車,用它撞開了建築物的大門。示威者綁架了 10 名州警察和國民警衛隊成員,以及 3 名州和聯邦官員,並將他們扣為人質以執行他們的訴求,然後將他們釋放。上周,墨西哥軍隊沒收了該國西北部錫那羅亞州販毒集團控制的城市庫利亞坎的當地警察的武器,因為最近幾周該城市暴力事件和槍戰肆虐。據悉,墨西哥軍隊已知會沒收不受信任的警察部隊的武器,懷疑這些部隊參與了協助販毒集團,或擔心這些部隊攜帶未登記的武器,導致難以追蹤濫用行為。 路透社和 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Summit Group Urges Government of Bangladesh to Reverse Decision to Terminate FSRU Project ACN Newswire

Summit Group Urges Government of Bangladesh to Reverse Decision to Terminate FSRU Project

Dhaka & Singapore, Oct 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Summit LNG Terminal II Co Ltd (“SLNG II”), a unit of Summit Group, has urged the Government of Bangladesh to reverse its decision to terminate the third Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (“FSRU”) project in the country.SLNG II said it had received a notice from the Bangladesh Oil, Gas & Mineral Corporation (“Petrobangla”) on 7 October notifying the termination of the project situated at Moheshkhali in Cox’s Bazar.The Moheshkhali terminal (“2nd FSRU”) in southeast Bangladesh is the second floating gas terminal project undertaken by Summit Group with a planned regasification capacity of 600 million standard cubic feet per day.In response to media queries, SLNG II wishes to clarify the following: 1) In late 2020, the Government of Bangladesh made a strategic decision to transition from coal-fired power generation to natural gas, a cleaner energy source. The initiative was also aimed at boosting gas supply to ensure energy security and support industrial growth. Summit Group submitted a proposal on 11 October 2021, to implement a FSRU on a Build, Own, Operate, and Transfer (BOOT) basis. The proposal was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on 14 June 2023.The approval followed two years of extensive negotiations and consultations with international law firms to address the contractual and technical challenges.2) Summit, in collaboration with Petrobangla and Rupantarita Prakritik Gas Company Limited (“RPGCL”), finalized the Terminal Use Agreement (“TUA”) and Implementation Agreement (“IA”) on 12 October 2023. These were legally vetted and approved by the Cabinet Committee on 12 December 2023.3) SLNG II signed the TUA and IA on 30 March 2024 with Petrobangla and Government of Bangladesh (“GoB”) for the 2nd FSRU. On the same day SLNG II also signed a long-term Sale and Purchase Agreement (“SPA”) to supply 1.5 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) to Petrobangla, starting in October 2026.4) To fulfil the initial conditions precedent (“CPs”) of the agreements signed on 30 March 2024, SLNG II has to date committed investments of approximately USD 15 million to implement the 2nd FSRU.5) The termination notice received on 7 October 2024 was issued on the basis that the agreements signed on 30 March 2024 had not become effective as a performance bond was not submitted within 90 days as stipulated, i.e. on 28 June 2024. SLNG II said that as that date fell on a Friday (not a banking day in Bangladesh), the performance bond was delivered on the next possible working day, with acknowledgement by Petrobangla.6) SLNG II’s lawyers have confirmed that SLNG II had not breached any CPs of the agreements of 30 March 2024. Even if any CP was delayed, Petrobangla did not notify SLNG II within the agreed 30-day window and had therefore deemed the CP as accepted.“SLNG II is owned by Summit Power International Limited (“SPIL”), the largest private sector investor in energy in Bangladesh with a proven track record of developing long-term infrastructure projects in a responsible and transparent manner. SPIL has stated that our investments have helped to catalyse foreign direct investment (“FDI”) into Bangladesh. We respectfully urge the Government of Bangladesh to uphold the sanctity of contracts and to ensure that investors' rights are protected and treated fairly and equitably,” SPIL said.Media ContactWeR1 Consultants Pte LtdIsaac Tang and Shindy KaurWhatsApp (Text): (+65) 9748 0688summit@wer1.net Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

BlackBerry QNX Research Reveals Rising Pressure on Software Engineers Leads to Critical Trade-Offs in Safety and Security ACN Newswire

BlackBerry QNX Research Reveals Rising Pressure on Software Engineers Leads to Critical Trade-Offs in Safety and Security

WATERLOO, ONTARIO, Oct 8, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB), today unveiled new research highlighting the mounting pressure on software engineers and developers to balance rapid innovation with safety and security. The comprehensive survey of 1,000 embedded software developers and engineers from around the world revealed the growing tension between meeting tight project deadlines and maintaining functional safety, with 75% of respondents acknowledging that urgency often forces them to compromise on key safety requirements.Widespread Frustration Leads 74% of Developers to Consider Switching Operating SystemsWhile developers cite security (54%), cost control (52%) and safety certifications (48%) as their ‘top' considerations when selecting an operating system, the survey also highlights significant downstream challenges in each of these areas that have made the vast majority (74%) of respondents open to changing their existing OS. Indeed, of those required to meet international safety standards, 61% say it is extremely or very challenging to meet these specific standards with their current OS. Security concerns (36%) and lackluster performance issues (28%) are the two main reasons respondents are considering changing their current OS.Open-Source Platforms Preferred Yet Fall Short on Safety StandardsOpen-Source operating systems are the preferred foundational platform for almost half (44%) of developers, with an additional 25% indicating no preference for either Open-Source or proprietary offerings. Open-Source platforms are often adopted within development environments due to widespread familiarity with the technology and their open availability, but critically, they do not carry the same safety certifications as many proprietary options which go through rigorous verification and testing to achieve; validating and verifying each stage of the development process to ensure stringent international safety requirements are met."As we enter the era of 'Software-Defined Everything,' where devices and infrastructure increasingly rely on software for operations, new features, and innovation, the importance of functional safety (FuSa) and security are paramount," said John Wall, SVP and Head of BlackBerry QNX. "While 90% of organizations surveyed recognize this as a priority, developers are under growing pressure to meet deadlines and budgets, which is why pre-certified software is so important to enabling organizations to not only meet their goals but do so without compromise."Safety Certification Gaps Cause Costly Delays and Compliance IssuesWorryingly, the survey also revealed that nearly a third (31%) of all respondents admitted that their OS lacked the necessary safety certifications or only had ‘some' of them covered. This gap has no doubt contributed to delays for two-thirds of organizations as they grapple with the complexity, time, and cost-averaging $591,000 and 154 hours of company resources-needed to meet evolving safety standards.Security Vulnerabilities and Breaches Lead to Project DelaysSecurity also remains a pain point for developers, particularly for Open-Source operating systems, which are more likely to experience a breach (46% vs. 40% for proprietary systems). Of those who have encountered a security breach or vulnerability in their OS, 72% reported delays in project timelines directly due to security vulnerabilities, further exacerbating the challenges of maintaining both innovation and robust, secure systems."To thrive in a software-driven world, developers need an OS that prioritizes safety and security," added Wall. "Pre-certified, secure-by-design solutions allow teams to focus on innovation rather than troubleshooting. Choosing the right OS can significantly transform your business by minimizing headaches and enhancing efficiency."Other key findings include:While 73% of organizations prioritize operating system security, the frequency of applying security patches varies, with a notable average of 5 weeks between updates.Operating system issues can have a significant impact on project timelines, with 34% of organizations reporting that they have missed deadlines due to OS-related problems, with the average delay globally being one month.For more information on how BlackBerry QNX's portfolio of embedded software solutions can help accelerate safety-certification, ensure reliability and reduce development time, visit BlackBerry QNX.Methodology: Research was conducted in from July to September by Coleman Parkes and commissioned by BlackBerry QNX, surveying 1,000 embedded software developers and engineers across North America (USA and Canada), Europe (UK, France, and Germany), and APAC (Japan, South Korea).About BlackBerryBlackBerry (NYSE:BB)(TSX:BB) provides intelligent security software and services to enterprises and governments around the world.

“Urece Tablets” (Dotinurad) Approved In Thailand For Gout And Hyperuricemia JCN Newswire

“Urece Tablets” (Dotinurad) Approved In Thailand For Gout And Hyperuricemia

TOKYO, Oct 8, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. announced today that it has received approval for “URECE® Tablets” (dotinurad) in Thailand as a treatment for gout and hyperuricemia. This approval is the first time that the agent has been approved in China or the five ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) member states where Eisai holds licenses to develop and distribute the agent.“URECE Tablets” are a new therapeutic medicine for gout and hyperuricemia discovered by FUJI YAKUHIN. It suppresses uric acid reabsorption and lowers blood uric acid levels by selectively inhibiting the urate transporter (URAT1) related to reabsorption of uric acid in the kidney. Eisai concluded a license agreement with FUJI YAKUHIN in February 2020 for China and in August 2021 for five ASEAN member states: Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand, granting exclusive development and distribution rights in these countries.Hyperuricemia is known to be associated with various diseases, including those of the urinary system, endocrine system, metabolic system, and cardio-cerebrovascular system, as well as gout. Furthermore, the prevalence of hyperuricemia in Thailand is estimated to be as high as 10.6%.(1) It is expected that the number of patients will further increase in the near future due to changes in lifestyle and dietary preferences in accordance with socioeconomic development.Eisai is committed to providing new treatment options for gout and hyperuricemia in China and the applicable ASEAN member states, and will further contribute to improving the quality of life (QOL) of patients.About “URECE® Tablets” (Dotinurad)URECE Tablets are a therapeutic medicine for gout and hyperuricemia discovered by FUJI YAKUHIN. URECE Tablets selectively inhibit URAT1, one of the uric acid transporters, thus preventing reabsorption of uric acid by the kidneys and promoting uric acid excretion in the urine. In addition, it has a small effect on other transporters affecting uric acid secretion, so it reduces serum uric acid levels at lower doses. URECE Tablets are expected to have a low risk of side effects and drug interaction.In Japan, FUJI YAKUHIN obtained manufacturing and marketing approval for dotinurad in January 2020 and launched it in May 2020.(1) Lohsoonthorn, V. et al.

(SeaPRwire) - 官员周日表示,墨西哥一州府的市长在就职仅一周后就被杀害。亚历杭德罗·阿尔科斯上周一宣誓就任奇尔潘辛戈市长,该市暴力事件频发,以至于在 2023 年,有人举行抗议以争取释放被捕嫌疑人。奇尔潘辛戈是格雷罗州的首府,阿卡普尔科也位于该州。州检察官办公室周日发布声明,证实阿尔科斯遇害,但没有提供任何细节。墨西哥革命制度党 (PRI) 国家主席亚历杭德罗·莫雷诺对阿尔科斯遇害表示哀悼,并表示新任市议会秘书三天前也被谋杀。"他们上任还不到一周," 莫雷诺在他的社交媒体账号上写道。 "他们是年轻、诚实的公务员,他们一直在为社区谋求进步。" 奇尔潘辛戈长期以来一直是两大贩毒集团——阿迪洛斯帮和特拉科斯帮——血腥地盘争夺战的中心。这场斗争已造成数十人丧生。一位前任市长在一个餐厅里与其中一个帮派的领导人举行会议的视频被拍到。她随后被开除出党。2023 年 7 月,联邦官员表示,当月在奇尔潘辛戈举行的数百人参加的示威活动是由阿迪洛斯帮组织的,目的是争取释放两名因持有毒品和武器而被捕的帮派头目。示威者封锁了墨西哥城和阿卡普尔科之间的高速公路两天,与安全部队发生冲突,并劫持了一辆警用装甲车,用它撞开监狱大楼的大门。示威者绑架了 10 名州警察和国民警卫队成员,以及 3 名州和联邦官员,并将他们扣为人质以执行他们的要求,然后释放了他们。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
