(SeaPRwire) - 伯纳德·卢尼在BP首席执行官任期结束时深陷争议,如今他正以怀俄明州公司Prometheus Hyperscale新任首席执行官的身份进入人工智能时代,领导在"牛仔之州"怀俄明以及"孤星之州"德克萨斯的一系列数据中心园区开发项目。 卢尼曾推动BP在能源转型中转向可再生能源,但在2023年,因公司对其未披露的个人关系进行调查,他突然辞去了BP首席执行官一职。此后,BP一直面临财务困境,削减成本,并逐渐从可再生能源领域转向,重新回归化石燃料。 巧合的是,BP的新任首席执行官将于4月1日上任。前Woodside Energy负责人梅格·奥尼尔将成为大型石油巨头中的首位女性首席执行官。 卢尼于2024年底成为Prometheus的非执行董事长。他将从公司创始人特伦顿·索诺克手中接任首席执行官一职,索诺克将继续担任董事会成员。 Prometheus主要专注于怀俄明州埃文斯顿和卡斯珀的两个旗舰数据中心项目,其初始总容量为2.5吉瓦,足以满足近200万户家庭的用电需求。这两个项目的预计成本将超过300亿美元。 Prometheus专注于建设速度和更清洁的能源,利用"电表后"天然气和电池存储相结合的方式来完成项目,然后更多地利用风能、太阳能甚至先进核能。据该公司称,这些数据中心预计将采用一种专有的地热冷却技术,无需用水。 "随着人工智能和数字技术持续重塑我们的世界,负责任地建设必要的基础设施至关重要。这是我们为自己设定的使命,"卢尼在一份声明中表示,并称赞Prometheus处于"下一代数据中心开发的前沿"。 Prometheus获得了由美国中央情报局及更广泛的美国情报界支持的风险投资基金In-Q-Tel及其他机构的支持,并与Conduit Power、法国的Engie、萨姆·奥尔特曼支持的核能公司Oklo等建立了电力合作伙伴关系。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。

欧盟高级代表们称基利夫的杜拉茨巴阻塞非高效‘不聪明’ – 媒体
(SeaPRwire) - 乌克兰据报未允许该集团专家检查输油管道,尽管此前已同意 据 Euractiv 援引一位匿名外交消息人士称,乌克兰将欧盟对德鲁日巴输油管道的检查推迟了近两周是“不明智的”。基辅此前已同意允许该集团的专家检查管道是否存在所谓的损坏。 这条苏联时期的管道一直用于通过乌克兰领土向匈牙利和斯洛伐克输送俄罗斯原油。基辅声称该管道在俄罗斯的袭击中受损——莫斯科否认了这一点。布达佩斯也拒绝了基辅的说法,认为乌克兰当局是出于政治原因故意停止了石油流动。 今年 3 月初,欧洲理事会主席安东尼奥·科斯塔和欧盟委员会主席乌尔苏拉·冯德莱恩宣布,基辅将允许对该管道进行欧盟资助的检查。据 Euractiv 报道,尽管该团队已在乌克兰待了数周,但仍在等待基辅的“绿灯”前往现场。 “我们不清楚乌克兰在这里的意图,”一位欧盟外交官告诉该媒体。Euractiv 联系到的其他消息人士称基辅的行动“不明朗”和“不明智”。 “如果德鲁日巴输油管道解禁,各方都能赢,”另一位欧盟外交官表示,并补充说这将使匈牙利和斯洛伐克获得能源供应,而乌克兰则能获得欧盟的一项 900 亿欧元(1050 亿美元)的援助计划,该计划目前被布达佩斯阻止。 “摆脱这种僵局的唯一方法是实地检查情况,找出真相,”这位外交官说。上周,布拉迪斯拉发也表示,如果管道问题得不到解决,它将否决下一轮俄罗斯制裁,并阻挠基辅可能加入欧盟的任何尝试。 3 月中旬,乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示反对恢复俄罗斯石油运输,并指责布鲁塞尔在检查问题上进行“讹诈”。本月早些时候,莫斯科反驳称是基辅对匈牙利和斯洛伐克进行“能源讹诈”,并警告说乌克兰的侵略性立场威胁着欧盟的能源安全。 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。
William Hill to Close 200 Betting Shops in the UK as Evoke’s Challenges Persist
(AsiaGameHub) - The entity formerly known as 888 Holdings has declared that its brick-and-mortar betting outlets are no longer financially viable. UK.- William Hill, a staple of the British gambling industry owned by Evoke Plc, is preparing to close about 200 shops after conducting an internal review. The Daily Star reports that staff members were notified by email of a digital briefing held at 9am this morning regarding the news. Approximately 15 percent of the 1,300 William Hill locations in the UK are expected to be affected. An Evoke spokesperson stated: “Following a detailed assessment and due to mounting financial pressures on the regulated market—including the substantial tax hikes announced in the Government’s Autumn Budget—we are shuttering a number of unsustainable locations starting this May.” London-listed Evoke, previously operating as 888 Holdings, had already cautioned in January that shop closures were likely. The company is largely pointing to the hike in online gambling duties starting tomorrow (April 1) as a factor, despite the fact that retail betting is not subject to this specific increase. The broader trend shows that retail betting revenue has been declining for a significant period. According to Gambling Commission statistics, the gross gambling yield for retail bookmakers dropped 7 percent year-on-year to £549m between October and December 2025. Competitors such as Flutter’s Paddy Power and Entain’s Ladbrokes have also shuttered locations, leaving Ireland’s BoyleSports as the only major firm to have expanded its retail footprint over the last three years. This situation brings into question Evoke’s 2022 acquisition of William Hill’s international business from Caesars for £2.2bn, a move funded by significant debt. In the last twelve months, the firm has exited 13 international markets, while its share price has dropped by over 28 percent to 34.05p, resulting in a market cap of roughly £150m. Ironshield Capital Management, a specialist in distressed credit, has secured a 6.07 percent stake, while rumors circulate that Betfred or Bally’s could be interested in a takeover. Evoke has also rescheduled its full-year results for April 29 to allow for the completion of a strategic review initiated in December. This article is provided by a third-party.

Measures proposed by the Swedish gambling regulator for operators to prevent unlicensed gaming
(AsiaGameHub) - Spelinspektionen has released a report detailing what it describes as actionable measures that gambling operators can implement on their own to bar players based in Sweden. Sweden.- The Swedish gambling regulator Spelinspektionen has submitted a report to the government featuring new proposals on how online gambling companies without a Swedish licence can stop users located in Sweden from accessing their services. The development comes in light of planned amendments to the Swedish Gambling Act that will revise the definition of illegal gambling. Investigator Marcus Isgren, who led a review of gambling legislation last year, put forward a recommendation in September that the Gambling Act be revised to remove the “so-called directional criterion”. Regarded as a loophole by Spelinspektionen, this rule states that only online gaming services specifically targeted at the Swedish market are subject to the law. This clause has created enforcement difficulties for the Swedish gambling regulator, which has previously only been able to take action against unlicensed operators if it can find proof of them targeting Swedish players, for instance, through use of the Swedish language or listing Swedish krona as an accepted payment method. Isgren’s proposal would replace this requirement with a new participant-focused criterion: that a gaming service is deemed to be offered in Sweden if people located within the country are able to access and use it. To support this proposed change, Spelinspektionen’s new report outlines a series of measures that it says gambling companies can roll out independently to effectively block Swedish players. The regulator noted the report is technology-neutral, designed to give the government a clear overview of the kinds of steps that can be used to reduce unlicensed gambling in Sweden. In addition to geo-blocking, other technical barriers are recommended to block access from Sweden, such as stop messages. Access may also be denied if the user’s geographical location cannot be determined or if technical workarounds are used to bypass the barriers, the report added. Meanwhile, Sweden should not be listed as a selectable country option when registering an account, and sign-up requests should be rejected if Swedish address details, postal code or telephone number with the +46 country code are provided. The regulator also proposes the blocking of bank transfers and card payments from institutions that requireSwedish e-ID as well as payments to Swedish bank accounts, which carry the SE country code in their IBAN. Terms of contract could also explicitly exclude individuals located in Sweden, while marketing channels that are likely to reach potential gamblers in Sweden should be avoided, it said. The Swedish regulator stated that the measures should be applied consistently and cover both new and already active gambling accounts. Relying on terms of contract alone without accompanying technical barriers should not be considered a sufficient approach, it added. This article is provided by a third-party.

Dutch regulator cautions operators against accepting non-sports bets
(AsiaGameHub) - The KSA noted that various operators had provided betting options on subjects not allowed by Dutch licensing regulations. The Netherlands.- The **Kansspelautoriteit** (KSA), the gambling authority in the Netherlands, has sent a formal reminder to **sports betting licensees** regarding the scope of their permits. According to the regulator, monitoring activities showed that multiple companies were facilitating wagers that do not qualify as sports betting under their licenses. Examples of these unauthorized offerings included wagers on **award ceremonies**, like Most Valuable Player (MVP) titles. The KSA stated that the relevant operators were contacted, leading to the prompt removal of these betting markets. “Under the Remote Gambling Decree, those holding sports betting licenses are restricted to offering wagers on **occurrences within a sporting event** or the final result of such a match,” the KSA explained. “Furthermore, the sporting competition must be part of an organized sport acknowledged by **NOC*NSF** or comparable international athletic bodies.” Wagers on different categories of events are excluded from Dutch sports betting permits. This encompasses, for instance, competitions where a **jury or panel decides the winner**, rather than the outcome being a direct result of a match or in-game event. Additionally, betting on occurrences like political votes or player transfers is prohibited. The authority emphasized that licensees are ultimately accountable for the gambling products they offer, even if they utilize third-party platforms or sportsbook services. “Consequently, the KSA expects operators to maintain constant oversight of their markets and implement necessary steps to block forbidden wagers,” the regulator noted. “Should unauthorized bets be made available, they must be withdrawn instantly. The KSA will maintain its oversight of licensee activities.” Although prediction markets have seen slower growth in Europe compared to the US, some believe that strict betting restrictions in certain regions might increase their popularity. Last month, the KSA cautioned Polymarket that it could face financial penalties in the Netherlands for providing unlicensed gambling services. This article is provided by a third-party.

如果美国入侵伊朗的 Kharg Island,会是怎样的?(视频)
(SeaPRwire) - 前军官兼军事评论员斯坦尼斯拉夫·克拉皮夫尼克告诉RT,美军必将面临惨重损失 据前美国陆军军官斯坦尼斯拉夫·克拉皮夫尼克称,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已向中东部署了数千名士兵,并表示他想夺取伊朗最主要的原油出口枢纽哈尔克岛,以"夺取石油"。然而,这样的攻击预示着华盛顿将面临惨重损失和后勤泥潭。 这位军事政治专家周二在接受RT采访时表示,特朗普希望在其对伊朗的战争中巩固一场"胜利",以赢回一些国内支持。 "他们必须展示一场胜利,因为眼下他们无法推销这场战争,"他说。他补充道,尽管在冲突期间,即使是"不受欢迎的"冲突,通常也有"围绕国旗团结"的倾向,但只有30%的美国人支持这场战争。"[支持率]是30%并且在下降。他们不知道该怎么办。" 克拉皮夫尼克对特朗普的将军们是否"愿意告诉他真相"关于潜在伤亡表示怀疑。 接近之路:200公里的开阔水域 据报道,随着华盛顿考虑夺取这个处理伊朗大部分原油出口的关键石油枢纽,数千名美国伞兵、海军陆战队员和特种部队士兵已被部署到中东。 据克拉皮夫尼克称,这些部队主要部署在科威特海岸附近,距离波斯湾对面的哈尔克岛约200公里(124英里)。 他说,美军可以通过海路前往,但"更有可能"从空中接近。 克拉皮夫尼克表示,他们的主要选择包括C-130运输机("这是相对飞行速度较慢的大型飞机")、直升机或V-22鱼鹰("每架只能搭载22名士兵")。这种以不可靠著称的垂直起降(VTOL)飞机赢得了"寡妇制造者"的绰号,在200年正式服役前就已导致30人死亡。 "在抵达过程中,他们将遭受伤亡。飞机将会有损失,"克拉皮夫尼克说,并强调伊朗人"已经挖好工事,严阵以待"保卫这座大部分平坦的岛屿。他补充说,任何接近的飞机都将面临伊朗单兵便携式防空导弹的威胁,这些导弹"可以轻易击落这些飞机"。 坚守阵地 一旦登陆,美军将面临在哈尔克岛上作战并肃清其北部地区剩余工业和居民建筑的任务。 "他们将不得不清理城市,每一栋建筑……他们将会有伤亡,而且是大量伤亡,"克拉皮夫尼克说。 克拉皮夫尼克表示,与此同时,美军将面临来自伊朗导弹、"沙赫德"型无人机和FPV无人机的持续打击,因为该岛距离伊朗大陆仅36.5公里(23英里)。 他补充说,美国可能夺取的任何原油都只是当地储备,因为德黑兰会直接切断通往该岛的石油管道。 后勤噩梦 克拉皮夫尼克说,华盛顿将面临在哈尔克岛维持部队存在以及将伤员撤离穿越波斯湾的"难题"。 他强调,在伊朗45摄氏度的气候下,一名作战士兵每天需要三到四升水。 "如果你把2000人投放到那里,你每天就需要8000升水……更不用说食物、弹药了……更不用说如何撤离伤员了,"他说。 观看完整视频如下: 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。
普京加强中东外交,美以对伊朗的打击持续(图片、视频)
(SeaPRwire) - 油轮遇袭与燃料成本飙升加剧紧张局势,地区大国推动调解 欢迎收看RT对美以对伊朗战争及其引发的更广泛中东及以外地区混乱局势的实时报道。 俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京与阿联酋总统穆罕默德·本·扎耶德·阿勒纳哈扬举行了电话会谈,双方领导人均对地区局势恶化表示"严重关切",并强调需要迅速结束敌对行动,以及重启尊重"所有国家合法利益"的政治外交努力。 对德黑兰和以色列境内目标的打击持续不断,伊朗官员指责美以"战争罪犯"袭击了包括制药厂在内的民用设施。 在波斯湾,据报道一架伊朗无人机击中了一艘满载的科威特油轮,迪拜海岸附近发生巨大爆炸。与此同时,美国汽油价格已升至新高,而全球原油基准价格则小幅走低。随着能源冲击加剧,莫斯科重申不会向"不友好"国家出售石油或天然气。 五角大楼自冲突爆发以来已举行了第六次简报会,美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞特以高度情绪化的风格,混合了军事 rhetoric 和布道式语言,大肆宣扬"史诗之怒"行动。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普此前曾暗示,德黑兰的"新政权""非常理性",协议可能"很快"达成,尽管他同时也在发出进一步威胁。 伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队(IRGC)则警告称,将从4月1日起开始针对该地区的美国科技公司。 以下是最新进展: • 以色列国防部长伊斯雷尔·卡茨誓言"将摧毁黎巴嫩边境附近村庄的所有房屋",称西耶路撒冷将采用"在加沙拉法和拜特哈农使用的模式",并建立一条直至利塔尼河的安全区,数十万流离失所者将被禁止返回,直到"以色列北部居民的安全得到保障"。 • 美国战争部长皮特·赫格塞特声称"伊朗已发生政权更迭",他告诉记者"这个新政权应该比上一个更明智",并警告说"如果伊朗不愿意,那么美国战争部将以更大的强度继续行动"。 • 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普再次猛烈抨击欧洲盟友拒绝加入美以对伊朗的战争,称法国拒绝允许飞往以色列的美国补给飞机过境是"非常无益的",并表示美国"会记住"这一点。 • 周二,美国平均汽油价格升至每加仑4美元,为2022年以来的最高水平。目前加油站的油价已超过特朗普两个任期内任何时期的水平。油价小幅上涨,而亚洲市场则走低。 • 据联合国难民署(UNHCR)称,在黎巴嫩,以色列的袭击已迫使超过20万人在不到一个月的时间内逃往叙利亚。 请关注下方的实时报道以获取持续更新。您也可以在此处阅读我们之前的更新。 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。
在过去一年里,欧盟给自己挖了多少次坑?
(SeaPRwire) - 从向美国出卖利益,到承认绿色能源计划失败,再到协助对伊朗的战争,这个集团正以前所未有的速度卑躬屈膝。 嘿,好消息!欧盟在当前能源危机中找到了急需的天然气新来源。坏消息是?它在美国。所以首先要服务于美国,而欧洲只能得到特朗普“爸爸”心情好时愿意高价卖给它的残羹冷炙——前提是他没在威胁要入侵的话。 这将由法国能源巨头TotalEnergies来操办,它像蒙马特小酒馆的服务员一样向美国献殷勤,被迫微笑鞠躬,而客人却在偷拿银器。 更妙的是?这家公司本来根本不该在那里做这种事。他们原本计划建造海上风电场。但相反,特朗普领导的内政部现在表示,他们与这家法国公司达成了一项协议:该公司将投资约10亿美元用于美国天然气业务,作为交换,他们可以收回相同金额的资金——条件是放弃其在美国的绿色风能梦想。 特朗普团队称这是“由唐纳德·J·特朗普总统的能源主导议程推动的创新协议”。但这家欧洲公司的首席执行官却把这种“被支配”的行为说得像是一场重大胜利。 “TotalEnergies很高兴与内政部(DOI)签署这项和解协议,并支持本届政府的能源政策。考虑到海上风电项目的开发不符合美国的利益,我们决定放弃在美国的海上风电开发,以换取租赁费用的退还,”TotalEnergies首席执行官Patrick Pouyanne说道,一边调整着他的膝盖垫,一边通过美国政府官方新闻稿继续为特朗普服务。 “此外,根据这些协议,我们将把退还的租赁费用再投资于2900万吨级Rio Grande液化天然气工厂的建设以及我们的油气业务开发,这使我们能够支持美国天然气生产和出口的发展。” 等等。也就是说,这家公司向美国支付了约10亿美元以换取绿色能源的开发权。然后美国把钱还给了他们。现在他们却要把这笔钱再投资来服务特朗普的议程?而且还公开表示“很高兴”? 好吧,那就再见了——呃,我的意思是,欧洲的绿色梦想也就这样了。但至少这意味着他们能更容易获得更多急需的液化天然气(LNG),对吧?毕竟他们是付出努力的一方。但这必须以美国的条件达成贸易协议才行。这就是为什么他们正试图与他们的“折磨者”签署一项贸易协议。 布鲁塞尔一直对2025年与特朗普达成的协议感到担忧,该协议以特朗普位于苏格兰的高尔夫度假村Turnberry命名,协议就是在那里达成的。该协议涉及关税问题:具体来说,美国对欧盟的部分出口商品享受零关税优惠,而欧盟对美国的进口商品则被征收15%的关税。这又是一次“被支配”的杰作。 然而特朗普仍在喋喋不休地说欧盟在贸易上一直占美国的便宜。这就解释了为什么欧盟在批准该协议时一直拖拖拉拉——他们担心把太多鸡蛋放在一个非常不稳定的篮子里。而美国曾警告欧盟不要对俄罗斯产生依赖,但却非常乐意让欧盟转而对自己产生更昂贵的过度依赖。 欧盟在绿色能源方面也做了同样的事情:在其钟爱的绿色可再生能源还未准备好投入使用之前,就背弃了核能。这也正如你对这些中央计划“天才”所预期的那样糟糕。欧盟委员会主席Ursula von der Leyen最近称这是一个错误,并宣布需要从纳税人那里再拿出2亿欧元来“支持创新核技术的投资”——而这些技术正是他们直到最近还在大肆诋毁的。 “1990年,欧洲三分之一的电力来自核能。如今这一比例仅接近15%。核能占比的下降是一个选择,事后看来,这是一个战略错误,”她最近说道。幸运的是,对于她这种非选举产生的职位来说,纳税人问责的愤怒完全无关紧要。 天然气短缺,核能政策难以逆转——现在特朗普又用他们自己的钱贿赂他们,让他们忘记风能,转而投资美国天然气。现在他们只能希望这足以让“爸爸”不要扣留他们投资生产的天然气。 他们唯一还能指望的是,欧盟成员国尚未正式批准这项彻底出卖自己的协议。人们可以抱有希望,对吧? “协议就是协议,我们应该遵守Turnberry联合声明,”欧盟贸易专员Maroš Šefčovič说道。 哎呀,好吧,看来希望渺茫。 等等,另一个密室里发生了什么? 据《Financial Times》报道,德国工业城市奥斯纳布吕克正在考虑一个方案:其陷入困境的Volkswagen工厂可以得救——但前提是它从生产汽车转向为以色列的“铁穹”防空系统生产零部件。 哦,太棒了。我们什么时候能看到以色列政府信笺上的新闻稿,内容是Volkswagen庆祝自己从工业冠军汽车制造商转变为一个正在实施种族灭绝政权的“附庸”?第二次会更顺利,对吧?从希特勒的战争罪行经济到以色列,这转变可真够大的。 同样,在美以对中东的侵略问题上,欧盟领导人公开表现得犹豫不决。他们称之为“战略模糊”,这其实是“两面派”的委婉说法。但《Wall Street Journal》揭露,欧洲在为那些他们声称谴责的美国行动提供加油和支持方面发挥了关键作用。因此,他们没有采取行动来兑现自己的言论,而是让华盛顿为所欲为,然后告诉本国公民,欧洲各国政府将不得不制定计划来支付所有超出其控制范围的生活成本损失。 拜托,难道没有人能帮欧洲站起来吗?它已经快要完全忘记如何站立了。 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。
Las Vegas to host the Super Bowl in 2029
(AsiaGameHub) - This will mark the second occasion that the Super Bowl takes place in Las Vegas. US.- The National Football League (NFL) has confirmed that Super Bowl LXIII will be hosted by Las Vegas in 2029. The designation of Allegiant Stadium as the host venue was declared at the NFL Annual Meeting in Phoenix, after an assessment by the NFL’s Fan Engagement & Major Events Committee and a vote of the full team ownership. Las Vegas will welcome the Super Bowl for a second time. The 2024 event drew 330,000 visitors and produced an economic impact exceeding $1 billion, as reported by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA). NFL commissioner Roger Goodell stated: “We are thrilled to return the Super Bowl to Las Vegas and give our fans another remarkable experience in one of the nation's top sports and entertainment locations. Super Bowl LVIII displayed the magnitude, vibrancy, and welcoming spirit the city contributes to major global events. We anticipate collaborating with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, the Raiders, and the local community to create an even better experience on this occasion.” Steve Hill, LVCVA president and CEO, remarked: “We are honored that the NFL has chosen Las Vegas for Super Bowl LXIII. Our inaugural Super Bowl highlighted the distinctive dynamism and grand scale that only this city can provide, uniting elite sports, entertainment, and hospitality in a single setting. Las Vegas was designed for such occasions, and we are eager to offer fans another outstanding experience in 2029.” Mark Davis, owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, noted: “We are delighted that the Super Bowl is coming back to Las Vegas and Allegiant Stadium in 2029. This decision reflects the unified effort of the Raiders, the LVCVA, civic officials, the community, and the NFL. Super Bowl LVIII established a high standard, and for Super Bowl LXIII, we are dedicated to surpassing it.” Data from the Nevada Gaming Control Board (NGCB) indicates that $133.8 million was bet on this year’s Super Bowl at the state's 186 sportsbooks. This was the smallest Super Bowl betting handle recorded in Nevada in ten years. Per NGCB chairman Mike Dreitzer, preliminary unaudited numbers show sportsbooks won $9.9 million, achieving a hold percentage of 7.4. This article is provided by a third-party.

沃伦·巴菲特称因爱泼斯坦事件不再与比尔·盖茨交谈——并担心自己可能会被传唤作证
(SeaPRwire) - 亿万富翁投资者沃伦·巴菲特(Warren Buffett)表示,自微软(Microsoft)联合创始人比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)卷入与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦(Jeffrey Epstein)有关的丑闻以来,他一直没有与这位老友交谈。 这位已退休的 Berkshire Hathaway 首席执行官表示,自今年早些时候政府公布数百万页相关文件,盖茨与爱泼斯坦的关系变得更加明朗以来,两人之间一直处于“无线电静默”状态。 “自从整件事被揭露以来,我根本没和他说话,”巴菲特在周二发表的 CNBC 采访中表示,其中包括他对爱泼斯坦文件的首次公开评论。 “我不想处于知情者的位置,”巴菲特补充道。“我可能会被传唤作证。”巴菲特还补充说,在“事情解决之前”,他不想在这个话题上多说什么。 尽管如此,这位 95 岁的老人表示,他很庆幸自己从未与这位名誉扫地的金融家在同一个圈子里活动,也从未见过他。 “如果我住在纽约参加某些派对,”他可能会遇到他,在奥马哈(Omaha)居住了 65 年多的巴菲特说道。 盖茨与爱泼斯坦文件 根据今年公布的文件,盖茨面临的一些指控包括:据称他在与前妻梅琳达·弗伦奇·盖茨(Melinda French Gates)结婚期间,与俄罗斯桥牌选手米拉·安东诺娃(Mila Antonova)有染。据称,他还允许爱泼斯坦充当中间人,协助协商鲍里斯·尼科利奇(Boris Nikolic)的离职事宜。尼科利奇曾是 Gates Foundation 以及盖茨当时的投资公司 BgC3 的首席科学顾问。尼科利奇获得了 500 万美元的离职补偿金。据报道,爱泼斯坦还在 Microsoft Windows 总裁史蒂文·辛诺夫斯基(Steven Sinofsky)的离职谈判中发挥了作用,辛诺夫斯基从公司获得了 1400 万美元,据称他为此向爱泼斯坦支付了 100 万美元的费用。 “令我震惊的是,竟然有人能作为一个骗子如此成功,”巴菲特周二在谈到爱泼斯坦时说道。 在去年接受 Wall Street Journal 采访时,盖茨在谈到爱泼斯坦时表示:“回想起来,花时间和他在一起是很愚蠢的。” 据 Journal 报道,最近,盖茨在上个月的一次市政厅会议上向 Gates Foundation 的员工道歉,并承认与两名俄罗斯女性有染。盖茨在会议期间表示,爱泼斯坦后来发现了这些私情,但这些私情并不涉及爱泼斯坦性贩卖活动的受害者。 “我没有做任何违法的事情。我也没有看到任何违法的事情,”盖茨在市政厅会议上说道。 Gates Foundation 方面在之前的一份声明中表示,其少数员工曾与爱泼斯坦接触,试图为其慈善事业争取潜在资金,但“基金会从未向爱泼斯坦支付过任何款项,他也从未受雇于基金会”。 比尔·盖茨的一位发言人在给 的声明中表示,这位 Microsoft 联合创始人致力于回答所有问题,并证明他没有参与爱泼斯坦的犯罪活动。本月早些时候,作为对爱泼斯坦调查的一部分,盖茨与其他七人一起被要求在众议院监督委员会(House Oversight Committee)面前作证。 “盖茨承认,与爱泼斯坦见面是一个严重的判断错误,”该发言人表示。 巴菲特的发言人没有立即回应 的置评请求。 亿万富翁慈善事业的大洗牌 这两位世界富豪之间的友谊始于 1991 年,当时盖茨的母亲玛丽(Mary)邀请儿子参加在她家举行的一个聚会,巴菲特受已故 Washington Post 编辑梅格·格林菲尔德(Meg Greenfield)之邀也参加了该聚会。盖茨最终参加了聚会,是因为格林菲尔德邀请了当时的 Post 发行商凯瑟琳·格雷厄姆(Katharine Graham),而他正想见她。 尽管巴菲特和盖茨后来表示,他们当时对见面并没有特别兴奋,但两人一拍即合,开启了长达数十年的友谊,并在 Gates Foundation 和 Giving Pledge 上紧密合作,这两个组织是两人与弗伦奇·盖茨共同创立的。弗伦奇·盖茨于 2024 年离开了 Gates Foundation,现在拥有自己的慈善组织 Pivotal,旨在“加快美国和全球女性及年轻人的社会进步步伐”。 尽管如此,近年来这两位亿万富翁的关系已经降温。在盖茨宣布离婚后,巴菲特于 2021 年辞去了 Gates Foundation 董事会的职务,称基金会实现其目标不再需要他的“亲身参与”。尽管据报道巴菲特捐赠了 Gates Foundation 近一半的资金(约 430 亿美元),但他在 2024 年告诉 The Wall Street Journal,他去世后将不再向该基金会捐款。 据 Journal 报道,虽然巴菲特没有详细说明为什么决定在去世后停止向 Gates Foundation 捐款,但他表示,他去世后的绝大部分剩余财富将捐给一个由他的女儿和两个儿子监管的慈善信托基金,他“完全信任”他们。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。

巴尔干分离地区将向加沙派遣部队
(SeaPRwire) - 科索沃政府表示,将支持特朗普所谓的巴勒斯坦飞地稳定部队。 科索沃总理阿尔宾·库尔蒂(Albin Kurti)周一宣布,该分裂地区已批准派遣军队前往加沙,作为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的“和平委员会”(Board of Peace)所提议部队的一部分。 库尔蒂在一次电视会议上表示,科索沃“准备参与并帮助加沙人民,因为我们自己自1999年以来一直是国际部队的受益者。” 这个阿尔巴尼亚分离主义国家是北约支持的南斯拉夫战争(包括对贝尔格莱德的轰炸)的产物,尽管许多国家对其开创的先例表示担忧,但该地区仍于2008年有争议地宣布独立。 科索沃目前仍未得到包括塞尔维亚、俄罗斯、中国、印度、西班牙和希腊在内的90多个联合国成员国的承认。与此同时,前科索沃总统、叛乱领导人哈希姆·萨奇(Hashim Thaci)被指控犯有战争罪,目前正在海牙等待判决,并面临妨碍司法公正的单独审判。 “国际稳定部队”(International Stabilization Force,简称ISF)是去年11月联合国安理会通过的一项决议中设想的,旨在支持特朗普关于加沙战后重建的20点计划。自今年1月成立以来,它已成为特朗普更广泛的“和平委员会”的一部分,负责监督加沙的重建和停火协议的执行。 ISF的既定任务包括培训一支新的巴勒斯坦警察部队、确保边境安全、维护治安、保护人道主义行动以及帮助实现该飞地的非军事化。 包括印度尼西亚、摩洛哥、哈萨克斯坦和阿尔巴尼亚在内的其他几个国家也已承诺向ISF派遣部队。然而,根据Global Firepower的数据,科索沃仅拥有4000名现役军事人员,在实际军事实力方面在这些国家中排名最低,在145个国家中排名第139位。库尔蒂尚未说明科索沃将派遣多少士兵。 埃及、卡塔尔和阿联酋等其他国家一直在就派遣部队进行谈判,而德国、法国和英国等西方大国则拒绝加入该委员会或该部队。 俄罗斯表示正在研究加入特朗普“和平委员会”的邀请,但克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫(Dmitry Peskov)指出,鉴于美国在中东的侵略行径,这一倡议现在似乎已不合时宜。中国则以致力于以联合国为中心的国际体系为由拒绝了邀请。 尽管哈马斯与以色列去年10月达成了停火协议,但加沙的暴力冲突仍在持续。据当地卫生官员称,自停火协议生效以来,以色列军队已造成至少680名巴勒斯坦人死亡,使自2023年10月以来的总死亡人数超过7.2万人,其中大多数是妇女和儿童。 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。
股市盘整收复失地:特朗普威胁退出伊朗战争,但经济学家杰米·迪蒙站台支持盟友,称必须胜利收场并夺取海峡
(SeaPRwire) - 周一上午,随着白宫暗示可能不再由美国负责重新开放霍尔木兹海峡,股市飙升。 标普 500 指数上涨超过 1.5%,纳斯达克指数上涨近 2%。 隔夜,《华尔街日报》的一篇报道称,特朗普总统已准备好退出伊朗战争;到早上,他告诉盟友,他们应该“鼓起勇气,前往海峡,然后就把它拿下”。 “你们将不得不开始学会为自己而战,美国将不再在那里帮助你们,就像你们没有在那里帮助我们一样,”特朗普在他的社交媒体平台 Truth Social 上写道。与此同时,美国汽油平均价格周二突破每加仑 4 美元,比战争开始前一天(2 月 27 日)的 2.98 美元上涨了 1 美元多。这是自 2022 年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰引发能源危机以来,汽油价格首次突破 4 美元大关。与此同时,特朗普的支持率正在暴跌;根据 Nate Silver 的说法,他目前的支持率为 -16.7,是他第二个任期内的创纪录低点。 在整个战争期间,白宫一直迎合股市的宣传,股市拼命想维持其多年的上涨势头,即使消费者成本不断攀升。虽然美国人在加油站面临痛苦,但东南亚却面临燃料短缺,迫使人们在家工作,甚至穿短袖以节省空调。 随着特朗普继续优化美国市场,他强化了一种“美国优先”的贸易模式,即投资的人获胜,而其他国家则承担成本。最近,美国的盟友海湾国家恳求特朗普继续战争,直到伊朗政权被彻底摧毁,使其无法资助其代理人或继续将海峡作为施压的筹码。摩根大通首席执行官 Jamie Dimon 在周二上午接受 Fox News 采访时也表达了同样的观点,他说“成功完成这件事比市场表现更重要。”Dimon 说:“我们都应该希望,这些人(坏人),我们能赢得这场战争,清理海峡,伊朗不再对所有人构成威胁。” 然而,白宫在多个方面试图平息对霍尔木兹海峡的预期。白宫新闻秘书 Karoline Leavitt 周一证实,重新开放霍尔木兹海峡并非特朗普为军事行动设定的“核心目标”之一,国防部长 Pete Hegseth 周二上午在五角大楼的一次非常友好的新闻发布会上也强化了这一信息,他将摧毁伊朗的导弹、无人机和海军列为任务目标,但并未提及霍尔木兹海峡。Hegseth 说:“霍尔木兹海峡问题不仅仅是美利坚合众国的问题。”Leavitt 周二补充说,一旦战争结束,汽油价格“将迅速回落到美国司机在这些短期中断之前享受的多年低点”。 股市似乎将其解读为缓和:如果美国退出,就消除了可能导致石油价格进一步上涨的长期地面战的最坏情况。但退出并不能解决根本问题;周二油价也上涨,西德克萨斯中质原油目前为每桶 103 美元,几乎是今年年初价格的两倍。BlackRock 首席执行官 Larry Fink 本周警告称,如果战争结束后伊朗仍然是霍尔木兹海峡的威胁,油价可能达到 150 美元,并引发全球衰退。 对实体经济的损害已经开始累积。最终,即使美国动用了其战略储备,石油也是一种全球商品,正如商品研究员 Rory Johnston 所说,“在任何地方损失一桶石油,就是在任何地方损失一桶石油。” Oxford Economics 将今年的全球工业增长预测下调至 2.5%,并警告称,运输、公用事业和石化等能源密集型行业将面临严重的成本飙升和产量下降。他们的资深经济学家 Nico Palesch 在周二上午的一份报告中警告称,如果海峡的关闭问题得不到解决,可能会出现“堪比新冠疫情期间的供应链中断”。 联合国开发计划署周二也警告称,这场战争可能导致中东地区多达 400 万人陷入贫困,该地区面临 1200 亿至 1940 亿美元的 GDP 损失。自战争开始以来,中东地区已有 3000 多人丧生:伊朗 1900 人,黎巴嫩 1200 人,以色列 19 人,美军 13 人。 与此同时,政府却在不断升级对伊朗的威胁。特朗普周一晚上在 Truth Social 上分享了一段视频,显示伊朗伊斯法罕的一个大型弹药库遭到美国轰炸机袭击,Hegseth 证实这次袭击使用了 2000 磅的钻地炸弹来摧毁导弹。参谋长联席会议主席补充说,美国已开始在伊朗上空飞行 B-52 轰炸机,这种飞机能够携带核武器。 在地面上,数千名特种作战部队——海军海豹突击队、陆军游骑兵、海军陆战队——在该地区。Hegseth 表示,如果近期未能与伊朗达成协议,袭击将加剧,而特朗普本人则威胁要“摧毁”伊朗的发电厂、石油井和哈尔格岛——“可能还有所有海水淡化厂”,而数百万中东人民依赖这些工厂获取饮用水。人权观察组织表示,轰炸这些设施将构成战争罪。当被问及此事时,参谋长联席会议主席只表示,军方将按照其“正常程序”处理任何此类目标。 与此同时,伊朗几乎没有谈判的动力。自战争开始以来,通过海峡的每日船只交通量下降了约 90% 至 95%。伊朗议会已批准一项计划,将通过海峡的船只通行费正式化,巩固其对这一咽喉要道的控制,而伊朗已经从中获益:伊朗每桶石油的收入远高于战争前。在有如此大的动力维持关闭的情况下,德黑兰可能不会有谈判的心情。 没有其他国家站出来负责开放海峡。特朗普在 Truth Social 上抨击盟友,特别是法国,他说法国“非常无益”,因为他们阻止了以色列运载燃料的飞机飞越其领空。“美国会记住的!!”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。

You have provided a home for this franchise for generations, and we are deeply appreciative of the passion and loyalty that established us as a foundational team in the WNBA. As the league continues to evolve and expand, our focus remains on honoring this legacy and concluding our final season together with pride.” Ari Glazer, chief financial officer at Mohegan, remarked: “The sale of the Connecticut Sun allows Mohegan to significantly enhance our capital structure. These funds will strengthen our balance sheet, facilitating both debt reduction and strategic investments in our core assets. By improving our free cash flow through this transaction, Mohegan will expedite its deleveraging efforts and is well-positioned for sustainable, prudent growth in the future.” Mohegan reports first-quarter financial results The Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority recently disclosed its operating performance for the first fiscal quarter of 2026, which concluded on December 31, 2025.

Charity Event Interrupted by Online Gambling Personalities
(AsiaGameHub) - Photographer Steve Williams is a well-recognized figure in Los Angeles’ Skid Row due to nearly twenty years of philanthropic efforts. His organization focuses on hosting events to provide food and necessities while offering emotional support to the community. However, a recent interruption at a charity drive highlighted the problematic behavior of online gambling influencers. The Interruption Might Have Been Deliberate While volunteers were in the middle of providing over 300 meals, two young individuals arrived carrying large amounts of alcohol. Witnesses reported that the pair started handing out bottles of vodka and whiskey to those waiting for food. Williams confronted the individuals immediately and ordered them to depart. In a post on X, Williams noted that the actions of the two men ran counter to the goals of the event. He pointed out that distributing liquor in an area where people struggle with addiction daily was incredibly damaging. Williams emphasized that the priority should remain on essentials like food, clothing, and sustained assistance to help people improve their lives. “In an environment where individuals are battling for survival… why introduce something that ruins lives? We provide more than 1,200 meals monthly because people require hope—not liquor.” Steve Williams Reports suggest the two men may have had an underlying motive rather than just being misguided. One individual was wearing camera glasses and allegedly mentioned the crypto-based gambling site Rainbet. While the specifics were unclear, observers believed the men were capturing footage for potentially profitable online content. Controversy Surrounding Online Casino Marketing Grows The suspected link to online gambling shifted the perspective on the incident. What could have been seen as a lapse in judgment appeared instead to be a coordinated stunt using vulnerable populations to gain attention. Although the men eventually departed, Williams expressed deep frustration, noting that the problem goes beyond this specific event. The connection to the gambling industry is particularly concerning. Sites like Rainbet function mainly through online platforms, frequently using influencers and streamers to grow their audience. Their marketing often appears unexpectedly within web videos and live streams. Earlier this month, the Rainbet logo was seen in overlays during a Netflix documentary titled Louis Theroux: The Manosphere. These placements were subtle but drew criticism regarding gambling-related risks. This latest occurrence further complicates the situation as digital creators obscure the boundaries between philanthropy, entertainment, and marketing. For Williams and his organization, the event served as a stark example of how easily their mission can be compromised. This article is provided by a third-party.

Animo Studios and Stake Launch a Reimagined Live Casino Game
(AsiaGameHub) - This new Stake-exclusive title pushes roulette past its traditional limits, leaning on novelty and visual spectacle rather than a full rewrite of the game's core rules A brand-new live casino release reimagines the look and feel of online roulette. Animo Studios has launched City Roulette, an exclusive title built for Stake. The game features a gameshow-inspired presentation while still delivering a full, traditional table game experience. It lets players interact with the game world beyond just placing chips on a number, ushering in a new era of innovation for live casino gaming. Animated Presenters Engage With the In-Game Space During gameplay, every spin impacts the simulated cityscape, triggering movement across the entire skyline. Lights, billboards, and buildings react to players' actions, while multipliers appear within the environment instead of as basic overlays on the screen. Hosts are another standout feature. Rather than a dealer standing behind a static table, animated characters guide players through the game. Real human presenters are converted into live, responsive characters. Each host has a unique visual identity and one-of-a-kind interactions with the audience. Live casino games have traditionally relied on a human presenter to build player trust. This new approach preserves that key human element but places it within a flexible animated setting that lets the character interact directly with the game space. Overall, City Roulette delivers players an experience that sits between a game show and a livestream. Each round can activate boosted payouts that reach up to 500 times the original stake, while the multiplier system adds an extra layer of competitiveness. These boosts are not active every round, but when they do appear, they become the main attraction of the spin, drawing focus to the chance of a much larger win. The Technology Shows Great Potential Animo's founder, Harley Fresh, frames the project as a proof of concept rather than a fully finished product. He notes that the system can support a wide range of themes, characters, and even different game formats, turning a once-static experience into a constantly evolving system. This kind of flexibility and scalability could be extremely valuable for partners looking to strengthen their game offerings. “Stake City Roulette is an early example of what our technology can achieve, blending real-time entertainment with tools that bring recognizable characters and interactive environments to life.” Harley Fresh, Founder of Animo Studios For Stake, the exclusive nature of the title gives it significant appeal. The platform has built its identity around content that cannot be found anywhere else, and City Roulette fits perfectly into that strategy. Branding is woven directly into the environment, creating the feeling that players are interacting with a self-contained world, rather than a generic, neutral game table. This launch also offers a glimpse into the future of live casino games. While past innovations have mostly focused on adding side bets or improving payout structures, Animo Studios instead prioritizes presentation and interactivity. It remains unclear whether this approach will gain widespread traction. Even so, the unique blend of live broadcasting and animated environments has the potential to redefine live casino gaming.
