(SeaPRwire) - 正在权衡美国大学学位是否仍值得背负巨额债务的美国家长(和学生)或许可以听听一位慈善机构首席执行官的做法——她将女儿送到伦敦读大学,从而避开了六位数的学费账单。 这听起来似乎有违常理。要考虑机票、异国城市的生活开销,还有位于全球最昂贵首都之一的公寓租金。但对于Greater Good Charities首席执行官莉兹·贝克(Liz Baker)来说,每年能省下约5万美元,即便要为孩子出国留学办理额外行政手续也完全值得。 “我们一开始调研时就觉得,‘这便宜太多了’,”她在接受采访时回忆道。 她女儿在伦敦就读课程的学费约为每年3.5万美元,而他们最初预估的美国州外学费则高达8万至9万美元。“所以差不多是半价,”贝克说道。 作为一名多年运营非营利组织的人——她习惯仔细审核预算、追踪项目影响力,并斟酌每一笔钱的最优去向——她或许比大多数人更擅长算这笔账。“我总是跟有孩子要上大学的人说,你们应该看看英国的大学,”贝克补充道。 即便在伦敦市中心租住公寓,花费仍比美国大学的开销更低 她的大女儿已经在伦敦国王学院完成了本科学业,目前正在伦敦政治经济学院攻读硕士学位,期间一直住在英国首都的市中心。 “即便在伦敦市中心租公寓,都比送她去本地读大学便宜,当时她本来考虑的是UC Santa Barbara。”该校距离他们当时居住的亚利桑那州足足有747公里(也就是10小时车程)。 实际上,无论贝克的孩子去哪所大学读书,都需要在学费之外加上住宿成本——即便伦敦的房租每月超过2000英镑(约2700美元), 但只要把住宿成本和六位数的美国学费加在一起,整体花费还是比美国的大学选项更低。 “我是说,这很贵。但话说回来,美国任何一所大学的州外学费都更贵,”贝克补充道。 她还省去了一整年的大学开销。英国学制有个鲜为人知的特点:大多数本科学制为三年——如果学生凭借足够的大学先修课程(AP)学分(成绩越好,获得的学分越多),通常可以跳过一些国际学生需要就读的额外预科年。 “我的一个女儿修完了所有AP课程,所以她不需要读预科,”贝克解释道,“这样算下来,本科是三年,也就省去了预科的成本,而且硕士学制也更短。” 仅缩短一年学制一项,就能为国际学生省去数万美元的总开支。国际学生的年均学费通常在11400英镑至38000英镑之间(约1.4万至5万美元),具体取决于课程和大学。 1.7万亿美元的学生债务危机让英国大学看起来是更明智的选择 让贝克担忧的不只是债务问题,还有学生们能从中获得什么回报(如果有的话)。如今许多美国毕业生离开校园时背负着令人咋舌的债务,却没有明确的途径获得高薪工作。 美国学生债务总额已超过1.7万亿美元,与此同时,应届毕业生的失业率仍在持续攀升。 如今,数百万毕业生都在质疑自己的学位是否物有所值,越来越多全球顶级企业的首席执行官也开始认同这一观点。Goldman Sachs首席执行官大卫·所罗门曾表示,他绝不会仅以教育背景作为招聘标准。Amazon的安迪·贾西也曾表示,“对你的成功起决定性作用的,是态度而非学历”。随着人工智能悄然取代了几代毕业生赖以偿还贷款的入门级岗位,高等教育曾经拥有的溢价正在快速消退。 这也是贝克认为年轻人比以往更需要考量投资回报率的原因:“如果你读了英语专业,却背负了20万美元以上的学生贷款——你为什么要这么做?” 她真心认为自己的孩子在英国读书能获得更高的性价比。 英国的学位不仅学制更短,而且更具针对性。学生通常只需专注于一门学科,在整个求学期间都专攻该领域——每一门课程、每一年的学习都紧扣自己选择的专业方向。 在她看来,至关重要的一点是,这些课程更贴合雇主实际需要的技能。 “我认为课程设置更好,因为它更聚焦,”贝克说道,同时补充道,她自己攻读音乐剧和刑事司法学位时,不得不修一些和职业毫无关联的课程,比如“地球科学”。 当被问及英国学位在雇主眼中是否能与美国学位相提并论时,这位首席执行官毫不犹豫地说道:“当然。百分之百可以。”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。

天外人已成为“恶魔”——VCNS
(SeaPRwire) - 美国副总统誓言将利用其"最高级别"权限审查UFO档案并"彻查"此事 美国副总统J.D.万斯表示外星人实际上是"恶魔",并誓言要深挖美国政府关于UFO的档案。 他是在周五发布的与播客主本尼·约翰逊的访谈中发表上述言论的。万斯讨论了UFO档案和政府披露信息,称自己对这个话题"着迷",但尚未有足够时间"彻查此事"。 "我已经有几次说过'好吧,我们要去51区,我们要去新墨西哥州,我们要把这件事查个水落石出'。但后来行程时间安排总是不凑巧,"他说。"我比任何人都好奇。而且我有三年时间处于机密分类的最高层级。我打算彻查此事。" 51区是位于内华达州南部的美国空军秘密设施,长期以来一直与关于外星生命的猜测有关。 约翰逊向万斯询问了总统唐纳德·特朗普二月份的命令,该命令指示联邦机构开始"识别并公布"与UFO和外星人相关的政府文件。特朗普表示他采取这一步骤是"基于所展现出的巨大兴趣",此前不久前总统巴拉克·奥巴马公开表示外星人"是真实的"。 特朗普后来告诉记者,奥巴马"泄露了机密信息,他不应该这样做。" 在采访中,万斯告诉约翰逊:"我认为它们不是外星人。我认为它们是恶魔,"并将其描述为基督教对"飞来飞去并对人类做奇怪事情的天体生物"的理解。 近年来,对UFO及相关现象的兴趣日益增长,美国政府调查了大量报告,包括通过五角大楼的全域异常解析办公室(AARO)进行调查,并为飞行员和公众建立了报告目击事件的渠道。 2024年3月,五角大楼表示没有证据表明任何不明空中现象实际上是外星技术,并补充说许多案例涉及气象气球、间谍飞机、卫星和其他常规活动。 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。
伊朗报复性打击袭击以色列(图片、视频)
(SeaPRwire) - 德黑兰指责以色列违反了美国总统特朗普设定的"外交最后期限"。 以色列当局已确认有多人伤亡,至少一人死亡。此前,伊朗发动了最新一轮报复性打击,誓言要因其对"德黑兰心脏地带"的袭击而让这个犹太国家付出"沉重代价"。 以色列已承认,在周五晚间数枚据称携带集束炸弹弹头的导弹突破该国防空系统后,特拉维夫、吉瓦塔伊姆和拉马特甘至少遭受了六次袭击。以色列国防军称,"搜救部队"正在以色列中部的袭击地点行动。此前,亲伊朗消息来源在网上分享的视频显示,"铁穹"防御系统在拦截来袭威胁时显得力不从心。 德黑兰此前曾指责以色列在前一天晚上袭击了其两家最大的钢铁厂、一座发电厂以及民用核设施等其他基础设施——据称是与美国协调进行的,尽管唐纳德·特朗普总统曾承诺暂缓对能源设施的打击。 尽管特朗普继续坚称与德黑兰的谈判"进展非常顺利",但据报道,五角大楼正在起草针对伊朗的潜在"最后打击"方案,并考虑向该地区增派多达1万名地面部队士兵。 请关注我们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。
苹果副创始人斯坦福大学Steve Wozniak表示他对人工智能感到失望,并且忽视实际应用。
(SeaPRwire) - Apple将于4月1日迎来成立50周年。在过去半个世纪里,它研发了8位个人电脑Apple I、Macintosh、iPhone、Apple Watch和AirPods,将其技术带入了约15亿人的生活。 联合创始人史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克(Steve Wozniak)曾在这个新技术时代留下深刻印记,但他如今更愿“回归自然”。 沃兹尼亚克在最近接受CNN采访时表示:“我确实已经在很大程度上脱离了科技。而且我认为,自然比人类所做的事情重要得多。” 沃兹尼亚克是Apple背后的创新者,他在公司任职至1985年,研发了Apple的前两款电脑以及首款Macintosh——正是这款电脑普及了图形用户界面。 这一突破让非技术用户也能更轻松地使用个人电脑(PC),为大众打开了大门。尽管沃兹为设备的普及做出了贡献,但他并不认为当前科技领域的主流趋势具有同样的价值。 他说:“我根本不怎么用AI。我经常读AI生成的内容,它们听起来太枯燥、太完美了,我想要的是人类的创作,这让我很失望。” Apple在科技行业掀起的AI军备竞赛中基本处于观望状态。该公司2025财年的资本支出仅为127亿美元,与AI超大规模服务商Microsoft、Amazon和Alphabet合计3000亿美元的支出相比,相形见绌。 而且,Apple没有开发内部AI,而是利用Google的Gemini为其虚拟助手Siri提供动力,借助其他公司的技术。 科技界大佬倡导“模拟生活” 沃兹对AI的怀疑得到了多位领导者的共鸣。斯坦福大学“未来工作”专家尼古拉斯·布鲁姆(Nicholas Bloom)主导的一项针对美国、英国、德国和澳大利亚6000多名高管的调查发现,近70%的CEO、CFO和其他C级高管每周在工作中使用AI的时间不到1小时,28%的人根本不用这项技术。约7%的受访者表示,他们在典型一周内使用AI的时间超过5小时。 不过,职场高管的AI使用率仍在上升。盖洛普(Gallup)1月份的一项民意调查发现,2025年第四季度有69%的领导者使用AI,高于2023年年中的不足40%。 但即便AI发展势头强劲,一批科技企业家——甚至包括那些推动AI工具和设备更广泛应用的人——也在家中对屏幕使用设定了限制。 YouTube联合创始人陈士骏(Steve Chen)在2006年YouTube被Google收购前曾担任该公司首席技术官。他去年在斯坦福大学商学院的一次演讲中表示,他和妻子限制孩子观看短视频内容。 陈士骏说:“我认为TikTok是娱乐,但纯粹是娱乐。它只适合当下那一刻。短视频内容只会导致注意力持续时间缩短。” 科技亿万富翁彼得·蒂尔(Peter Thiel)2024年表示,他允许两个孩子每周仅使用1.5小时屏幕。比尔·盖茨(Bill Gates)、Snap的埃文·斯皮格尔(Evan Spiegel)和Tesla的埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)也都同样限制了孩子的科技产品使用时间。 本周,陪审团裁定YouTube和Meta因设计带有成瘾功能的平台而对年轻用户造成伤害负有责任,这印证了他们的谨慎态度。 Apple的高管们也有同样的担忧。2010年iPad发布时,与沃兹尼亚克共同创立公司的时任CEO史蒂夫·乔布斯(Steve Jobs)表示,他的孩子从未使用过这款设备。 他对《纽约时报》(New York Times)表示:“我们限制孩子在家使用科技产品的时间。” Apple现任CEO蒂姆·库克(Tim Cook)本月早些时候表示,他担心人们使用AI的程度。他警告称,AI本身既非积极也非消极,其价值取决于发明者和使用者。 他在接受《早安美国》(Good Morning America)采访时说:“我不希望人们过度使用AI。我不希望人们看手机的时间超过看别人眼睛的时间,因为如果只是无休止地刷手机,这不是你应该度过一天的方式。出去走走,到大自然中度过时光吧。”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。
至少三人死:美国-以色列空袭摧毁德黑兰住宅楼(视频)
(SeaPRwire) - RT驻德黑兰分社社长哈米·哈梅迪从现场报道称,救援人员正从废墟中拉出遗体,据信还有更多人被困在下方 RT驻德黑兰分社社长哈米·哈梅迪从现场报道称,至少三人在美以空袭伊朗首都期间因一栋居民楼被毁而丧生,空袭发生在夜间。 周五早晨发生的这次袭击造成的死亡人数目前尚不清楚,据信仍有数人被埋在废墟下。哈梅迪走访了现场,目睹救援人员在残骸中仔细搜寻,希望能找到幸存者。他表示,夜间对德黑兰的空袭是本月初以来最猛烈的空袭之一。 附近一户住宅的居民讲述了巨大的爆炸如何猛烈地将他和他的妻子及孙女从床上震醒。 "我们出来时,烟雾太大了,我什么都看不见," 这名男子告诉哈梅迪,并补充说他后来"看到所有的房子都倒塌了,大火熊熊燃烧,如同世界末日一般。" "我认为有四五人殉难。还有几个人受伤……这是居民住宅……我们这里甚至没有军事存在," 这位目击者说。 "他们正在以居民区为目标,现在他们在攻击普通民众," 一名在现场工作的消防员说。据救援人员称,从废墟下救出的人员中包括一名两岁儿童。 观看下方完整视频: 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。

鲁比奥指责泽连斯基说谎(视频)
(SeaPRwire) - 美国最高外交官驳斥了弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基关于华盛顿施压基辅放弃顿巴斯的说法 美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥表示,乌克兰领导人弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基关于华盛顿施压基辅从顿巴斯撤军的说法是谎言。 在本周早些时候播出的接受Reuters采访中,泽连斯基指责美国将向乌克兰提供安全保障的条件设定为基辅向俄罗斯放弃顿巴斯所有争议领土。 这位乌克兰领导人哀叹,他所称的美国坚持“对乌克兰方面施加更多压力的策略”,并声称“一旦乌克兰准备好从顿巴斯撤军,美国人就准备在高层敲定这些保障措施。” 卢比奥周五在巴黎参加G7会议期间对记者表示,他断然否认了这一说法,直言泽连斯基的断言是“谎言” “那是谎言。我看到他这么说,很遗憾他会这么说,因为他知道那不是真的,”卢比奥在被问及对泽连斯基采访的看法时表示。 “他被告知的是显而易见的:在战争结束之前,安全保障不会生效,因为否则你就会卷入战争,”他补充道。 卢比奥指出,美国谈判代表只是向基辅传达了莫斯科的立场,并补充说,此类决定应由乌克兰领导层做出。他强调,华盛顿一直寻求只扮演调解人的角色,“试图弄清楚双方想要什么,看看我们能否弥合中间立场。” 这位最高外交官还警告称,在当前美以对伊朗的战争中,如果有需要,华盛顿不排除将部分对乌克兰的军事援助转移到其他地方。他指出,到目前为止,尚未做出此类决定。 “这可能会发生,而且本来就可能发生。如果我们需要为美国准备一些东西,而且那是美国的,我们会首先留给美国。但到目前为止,这还没有发生,”卢比奥说。 美国、俄罗斯和乌克兰今年已举行三轮三边会谈,但未取得突破。原定于本月举行的第四轮会谈因伊朗战争而被搁置。多篇报道表明,领土主张仍是阻碍谈判取得进展的关键问题。 基辅一再拒绝向莫斯科做出任何让步,而后者坚持认为,任何潜在的解决方案都必须包括承认那些投票加入俄罗斯的原乌克兰地区。 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。
特朗普采取行动保护受关税和战争影响的农民。但美国已向接近百万富翁甚至亿万富翁的农民发放100亿美元
(SeaPRwire) - 美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周五在白宫召集了他所谓的美国农民最大规模集会,汇聚了800多名戴着牛仔帽的男女。他们与一台锃亮的金色拖拉机一起挤满了南草坪,总统借此宣扬他对农业的支持。“我刚给了你们120亿美元。不知道你们知不知道,”特朗普吹嘘道,他指的是美国农业部(USDA)“农民桥梁援助计划”(Farmer Bridge Assistance Program)提供的农业救济。显然这还不够,因为他随后告诉人群,他已要求国会在下一项拨款法案中批准额外救济。 但总统的大部分支持实际上落入了富人手中,自由意志主义智库卡托研究所(Cato Institute)最近的一篇帖子展示了这种差距。数据似乎挑战了“农民处境艰难”的观念:2024年美国农场家庭的全国平均收入为159,334美元。这比全国平均家庭收入高出约32%,几乎是全国中位数83,730美元的两倍。 而这还没有考虑到大部分补贴——数据显示,这些补贴流向了最顶端的10%的农场。该帖子引用了政府问责局(GAO)2023年的一份报告,其中显示,1300多名调整后总收入超过90万美元的农民获得了联邦作物保险计划的补贴。 联邦作物保险计划于1938年在富兰克林·D·罗斯福总统任内设立,旨在帮助农业部门从大萧条和“尘暴区”灾难中恢复。自成立以来,该计划已发展成为关键的支持支柱,为生产者提供针对自然灾害和经济衰退损失的财务保护。尽管它最初是一项恢复措施,但现在该计划覆盖了120多种独特的商品,占美国作物生产价值的绝大部分。 “这些补贴不是贫困农场家庭的紧急安全网,而是高收入企业的永久福利,”卡托研究所编辑克里斯·爱德华兹在博客文章中写道。“政府常称作物保险是‘市场化的’,但这不可能是真的,因为该计划每年花费纳税人数十亿美元。”爱德华兹补充说,由于作物保险没有收入限制,最顶端的10%农民获得了该计划中56%的补贴。 是安全网——还是富人的福利? 甚至一些亿万富翁农民也能获得补贴。例如,GAO 2015年的一份报告提到,有四位个人——他们的财富除了来自农业外,还来自采矿、房地产、体育和信息技术等多种来源——净资产在15亿美元或以上,他们参与了联邦作物保险计划并获得了保费补贴。美国农业部(USDA)隐瞒了某些农业补贴受助人的姓名,因此不清楚具体哪些富有的农民获得了补贴。 2026年3月27日,特朗普总统在白宫南草坪举行的农民活动上的金色拖拉机。Graeme Sloan—Bloomberg/Getty Images 关税和投入成本的上升正使美国大部分“面包篮”地区陷入日益不稳定的财务状况。伊朗战争推高了能源成本和化肥价格。除此之外,一些农场正面临来自人工智能(AI)行业的压力,因为企业试图将农田改造成数据中心。特朗普周四声称,美国农民受到了一些国家的不公平对待,并表示他正在采取行动支持因伊朗战争导致燃料和化肥价格上涨而遭受重创的农业行业。 总体而言,纳税人预计将在2026年为联邦作物保险计划支付147亿美元,这仍只是美国2025年7万亿美元支出的一小部分,但数额相当大,堪比美国环保署(EPA)等联邦机构的预算规模。在这147亿美元中,约96亿美元流向农民,另外51亿美元流向保险公司。根据国会预算办公室(Congressional Budget Office)的数据,该计划的支出预计只会增加。 这种增长引发了批评,比如爱德华兹,他认为该计划对保险公司的好处不亚于对农民的好处。“作物保险计划就像政府每年为你1500美元的汽车保险保费补贴900美元,同时向Geico、State Farm和其他保险公司支付数十亿美元以增加它们的利润,”爱德华兹写道。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。

俄罗斯关键盟友将在朝鲜开设大使馆
(SeaPRwire) - 白俄罗斯总统亚历山大·卢卡申科与朝鲜领导人金正恩在平壤会谈期间签署了《友好合作条约》 白俄罗斯宣布计划在朝鲜开设大使馆,此前总统亚历山大·卢卡申科与朝鲜领导人金正恩在平壤举行了会谈。两位领导人签署了《友好合作条约》,旨在在“全球转型”时期加强协调。 白俄罗斯外交部长马克西姆·雷任科夫周五对记者表示,两国还将加快推进公民免签旅行的相关工作。 周四在朝鲜首都举行的谈判中,卢卡申科邀请金正恩访问白俄罗斯。 两位领导人还互赠了礼物。白俄罗斯总统向金正恩赠送了一把白俄罗斯制造的AK式突击步枪。 “以防敌人出现,”卢卡申科在递给金正恩枪支时打趣道。 白俄罗斯总统表示,双边关系即将进入一个“全新阶段”,这在全球大国“公然无视和违反国际法”的时期尤为重要。 卢卡申科表示,有鉴于此,“独立国家需要更紧密地合作[并]协调努力捍卫其主权”。 白俄罗斯是俄罗斯的主要盟友之一。两国共同组成了所谓的联盟国家(Union State),这是一个政治和经济一体化框架,包含联合安全条款和政策协调。 俄罗斯和朝鲜受2024年《全面战略伙伴关系条约》约束,其中包含一项共同防御条款,规定如果任何一方遭受武装攻击,另一方将“立即动用一切可用手段提供军事和其他援助”。 去年,朝鲜向俄罗斯库尔斯克地区派遣军队,协助击退乌克兰的大规模入侵。 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。

美国陆军与亚马逊合作创建在线商店,购买无人机以适应战场技术变革
(SeaPRwire) - 无人机正在改变战争形态,美国陆军正借鉴电子商务模式以紧跟步伐,通过创建一个在线商店,让作战人员能更快地获得最新技术。 周二,美国陆军发布了其“无人机系统市场”(Unmanned Aircraft Systems Marketplace),该平台由 Amazon Web Services 和陆军企业云管理署(Army Enterprise Cloud Management Agency)共同开发。 据美国陆军称,这个数字化的“一站式”商店将允许陆军部队、政府合作伙伴及盟国采购经过审核的无人机系统。此外,该新平台还具备无人机对比、提供反馈以及便捷下单等功能。 美国陆军采购主管 Brent Ingraham 在一份声明中表示:“通过降低准入门槛并与更广泛的工业创新者合作,我们正在建立一个更具韧性和响应能力的国防工业基础,这对于装备我们的部队和威慑对手至关重要。” 五角大楼的武器采购流程以缓慢且昂贵而著称。几十年来,历届政府都在努力改革这一体系,但该体系目前仍由少数几家大型国防承包商所主导。 与此同时,国防部内部层层叠叠的官僚机构必须考虑新的作战需求、满足这些需求的候选方案,并确定如何分配资金。国会也拥有最终的拨款决定权,往往倾向于那些能使其特定选区受益的武器项目和预算。 美国陆军照片,摄影:Spc. Doniel Kennedy 但正如伊朗和乌克兰局势所展示的那样,战争的性质正在发生剧烈变化,大规模廉价无人机的齐射已经让传统防御系统不堪重负。 为了应对伊朗的弹幕攻击,价值数百万美元的导弹被用来击落价值仅数万美元的无人机。尽管“爱国者”(Patriot)和“萨德”(THAAD)防空系统的成功率超过90%,但仍有足够的弹药穿透防御造成重大破坏。 在持续四年的乌克兰战争中,无人武器现在造成了战场上绝大多数的伤亡,小型第一人称视角(FPV)无人机专门猎杀单兵或车辆。乌克兰也发展出了一个充满活力的国防工业,以大规模生产能够击落俄罗斯发射的伊朗 Shahed 无人机的廉价无人机。 其中一种名为 P1-Sun 的无人机成本仅略高于1,000美元,飞行高度可超过5,000米(16,400英尺),且通过乌克兰工厂的3D打印机即可批量生产。 “战争的未来在于乌克兰目前每年生产700万架无人机,”前中央情报局局长、退役将军 David Petraeus 本月早些时候表示,“去年,他们生产了350万架。这使他们基本上能够每天使用9,000到10,000架无人机。” 就美国陆军而言,其指出新的无人机市场是背离传统采购实践的一大举措,将有助于推动武器采购的转型。 陆军方面认为,在线商店的竞争性和透明度将激发创新、扩大工业基础,并提供更广泛的无人机能力。 “通过促进竞争和创新,我们确保了士兵能够获得最先进的技术来满足其任务需求,”美国陆军无人机系统项目经理 Danielle Medaglia 上校在公告中表示,“这一战略旨在实现规模化和快速化的能力交付。”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。
BoscaSports broadens its UK presence via new acquisition
(AsiaGameHub) - Irish betting technology company BoscaSports is set to acquire the video streaming firm 2DB. UK.- BoscaSports, an Irish betting technology provider, has increased its UK presence by purchasing video streaming company 2DB. This strategic step is intended to bolster its standing in the retail betting sector, with the firm identifying licensed betting offices (LBOs) as a primary market. According to BoscaSports, the purchase will double its employee count and improve its offerings for both physical and online betting. The financial terms were not disclosed, though The Irish Times states the merged entity is projected to have approximately €4m in yearly revenue. Allied Irish Bank (AIB) is financing the transaction with a loan facility. BoscaSports already maintains a significant position in the UK retail betting market, partnering with operators like Paddy Power, William Hill, the UK Tote Group, and Britbet. Its display systems are also installed at 86 racecourses throughout the UK and Ireland, such as Ascot. Chief Executive Officer Eugenee Mitchell called the acquisition "transformational for BoscaSports". “Integrating our expertise with 2DB’s video streaming and data solutions substantially improves our technology stack, extends our distribution network, and increases the value we provide to racecourses, operators, and bettors globally,” he stated. “We take pride in being a successful Irish technology company and appreciate the backing from AIB and RMG as we begin this new growth chapter.” Steve Boffo, Managing Director of 2DB, also expressed support for the agreement, commenting: “This represents an ideal alignment of culture and strategy, and we are prepared to start immediately for the benefit of our team and clients.” The deal occurs during a period of difficulty for both retail and horserace betting in Britain. Retail involvement and gross gaming yield (GGY) have been falling, with the UK Gambling Commission noting a 2 per cent decline in GGY for 2025. Paddy Power closed 257 outlets last year, and other leading bookmakers have also indicated potential closures as they manage increased gambling taxes, despite retail operations being exempt from these rises.

Norway introduces four‑year national plan to tackle gambling harms
(AsiaGameHub) - Norway's gambling authority will be involved in a fresh initiative to mitigate gambling-related harms, as the nation continues to uphold its state-controlled gambling system. Norway.- A four-year national strategy has been unveiled by the Norwegian government to tackle gambling harms. The plan, which will operate from 2026 through 2029, centres on prevention, treatment, and research, but will involve no alterations to the regulatory framework. Officials stated the objective is to decrease the incidence of gambling problems, emphasising that protecting at-risk populations must take precedence over business concerns. Norway upholds a state monopoly on gambling, with legal options solely provided by Norsk Tipping and the horse race betting company Norsk Rikstoto. The strategy will target young people between 9 and 25 years old as its primary focus, paying special attention to 12- to 17-year-olds who interact with gambling-like mechanics in video games, including loot boxes and skins. Additional groups identified are athletes, incarcerated individuals, people with neurodevelopmental conditions, those not in education or employment, and individuals with a history of gambling problems. Prevention work will encompass outreach in schools and athletic associations, online campaigns, and advice for adults. Bodies such as the gambling and media regulators Lotteritilsynet and Medietilsynet, together with the Directorate of Health, Helsedirektoratet, will divide duties, aided by the Norwegian Film Institute and non-profit groups. Educational initiatives will seek to assist youth in identifying gambling components within games, while prevention resources will be circulated via youth-focused websites like ung.no and snakkomspill.no, in addition to social media platforms. Parents, educators, sports coaches, medical personnel, prison guards, employers, and banking staff will be given training and resources to detect early indicators of trouble. Furthermore, Norway's gambling helpline, Hjelpelinjen, will introduce chat capabilities, and no-cost remote treatment schemes will remain accessible without requiring a doctor's referral. Inside the prison system, personnel will be trained to recognise and address gambling issues among prisoners, who frequently build up debts during their sentences. Collaboration between the Directorate of Health and regional expertise centres (KORUS) will be enhanced to broaden the availability of services at a local level. Data collection efforts will also be increased, featuring periodic surveys on gambling and gaming activity and a new countrywide investigation specifically into gambling harms. The government additionally intends to hold yearly meetings with operators to underscore their responsible gambling duties. Partnerships with banks and financial firms will be deepened in an effort to stop transactions to unlicensed gambling operators. This article is provided by a third-party.

Grants introduced to assist UK charities affected by transition to new gambling levy
(AsiaGameHub) - Some charities are experiencing a shortfall in funding as a result of the transition to the new gambling levy. UK.- The UK government’s Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) has introduced a temporary grant system to alleviate concerns among charities regarding the implementation of the Gambling Levy. A three-month transition grant scheme will be operational from April 1 to June 1, designed to assist affected charities in covering their staff and service expenses. The UK gambling levy was enacted nearly a year ago, with collections commencing in September. However, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities revealed the initial prevention funding allocations for England a mere 13 days before the new funding cycle was set to begin. The Gambling Lived Experience Network (GLEN) expressed dissatisfaction, stating that this delay forced some charities that did not receive funding into difficult decisions about their continued operation. Under the Gambling Levy transition grant scheme, eligible charities will have the option to submit backdated claims if decisions are made after April 1. Applicants must have been providing relevant services in March 2026 and must have previously applied for, but failed to secure, funding through the Gambling Harms Prevention or Treatment VCSE Grant Funds. Grants will not cover capital expenditure exceeding £2,000, and the application period will conclude on April 30. The gambling levy supersedes the former voluntary arrangement where operators contributed 1 per cent of their revenue to GambleAware. NHS England, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) have now assumed responsibility for commissioning services related to treatment, prevention, and research, respectively, while GambleAware has ceased to operate. The DCMS has confirmed that the statutory levy generated just under £120m in its inaugural year. Scotland has begun distributing its £7.9m share among the NHS, local authorities, and charities. Prominent recipients include RCA Trust (£1m), Public Health Scotland (£967,000), NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (£926,000), and Citizens Advice Scotland (£450,000). Wales announced its funding allocations nine months ago, but England has yet to publicly disclose how its portion will be utilized. Regarding the research aspect of gambling levy funding, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is proceeding with its plans to establish its Gambling Research Programme and has initiated the recruitment process for a department head to lead this initiative.

Massachusetts Gaming Commission introduces new responsible gaming programme
(AsiaGameHub) - The regulatory body has announced the rollout of PlayWell, which is replacing the GameSense initiative. US.- The Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC) has revealed the launch of PlayWell, a new responsible gaming and player health program set to take the place of its GameSense initiative. The regulator noted that new branding will be displayed at casinos and on sports betting platforms. The new program is overseen by the Massachusetts Council on Gaming and Health. It includes resources such as 101 guides explaining game rules, advisors, and the existing voluntary self-exclusion program. MGC chair Jordan Maynard stated: ‘When gaming was legalized in the Commonwealth, it was vital to create a world-class research, responsible gaming, and player health program to secure the industry’s long-term success. For more than a decade, the Commission has collaborated with stakeholders, elected leaders, operators, and patrons to build a repository of knowledge around gambling harms and player health—and launching this new program, developed, owned, and operated by the MGC, will enable the Commission to have a larger impact on Massachusetts residents seeking support.’ Mark Vander Linden, MGC’s director of research and responsible gaming, added: ‘PlayWell is designed to address the needs of Massachusetts gamblers. Backed by research and evaluation, PlayWell advisors provide timely and relevant tips, information, and resources to patrons in casinos or online.’ The MGC reported that Plainridge Park Casino (PPC), MGM Springfield (MGM), and Encore Boston Harbor (EBH) generated $92 million in gross gaming revenue (GGR) in February. This marks a decline from January 2026’s $96.6 million and a 1.5 percent year-over-year drop. This article is provided by a third-party.

Pronet Gaming: Aligning Marketing Efforts with Regional Growth
(AsiaGameHub) - Gina Lama, Pronet Gaming's marketing chief, has examined how this strategy has taken center stage. Opinion.- In this highly competitive and rapidly evolving sector, expansion goes beyond customer acquisition – it requires synchronizing marketing efforts with the distinct characteristics of each territory. Whether operators are expanding into Asia, Latin America, or other emerging regions, one rule remains constant: campaigns need to mirror local cultures, behaviors, and expectations to achieve success. Successful regional marketing involves more than translating global campaigns. It requires a sophisticated approach grounded in genuine market understanding and profound appreciation for local player experiences. As we expand our footprint across regulated jurisdictions, Gina Lama, Pronet Gaming's marketing director, explains how this methodology has become fundamental to our value communication, operator support, and positioning as a results-focused partner. Connecting strategy to regional realities Marketing lacking context amounts to meaningless noise. That's why our approach begins with comprehending the regulatory environment, player conduct, and competitive landscape in every market. Strategies effective in one region may fall flat elsewhere. For instance, Asian markets typically prioritize mobile-centric engagement and swift in-play betting, whereas European players often seek more substantial content and enhanced loyalty rewards. Integrating these insights into our marketing plans generates more than just messages – it builds meaningful connections. This context-focused methodology extends to how we position our platform and features, ranging from Casino and Sportsbook to BetX Pro – our peer-to-peer betting exchange that has attracted significant attention for its flexibility and localized betting experiences. Brand clarity as a global foundation A robust, consistent brand serves as a foundation for regional marketing initiatives. Our recent launch of Pronet Gaming's updated corporate identity and new website before ICE Barcelona 2026 represented more than a cosmetic refresh; it marked a strategic move toward standardizing our global value proposition. Our revitalized brand clearly defines our identity: a partner dedicated to performance, localization, and operator achievement. This clear positioning enables regional teams and operator collaborators to tailor messages while preserving the central value proposition. It establishes a uniform voice that connects with local markets while upholding worldwide reputation. From product to promotions In the igaming sector, speed and performance transcend technical benchmarks; they represent critical marketing necessities. Today's players demand instantaneous loading, responsive interfaces, and frictionless interactions. Marketing campaigns directing users to sluggish or disjointed experiences prove counterproductive. Our marketing approach prioritizes performance indicators across both technical infrastructure and campaign execution. This involves leveraging real-time analytics, optimizing for micro-moments, and maintaining close coordination with product development to ensure messaging and user experience complement each other. Markets with intense in-play betting activity or inconsistent connectivity especially gain from this strategy. Partnerships amplify regional reach Organizations rarely succeed alone, and marketing campaigns are no exception. Collaborative alliances with local operators, affiliates, and regional media outlets are essential for expanding both market penetration and relevance. Close partner cooperation enables us to develop co-branded initiatives, utilize local knowledge, and access established player networks with authenticity. These partnerships also enhance our comprehension of market-specific preferences, providing insights that inform subsequent campaigns and product development. Insights become competitive advantage Operators emphasizing regional understanding over broad-scale approaches are positioned to achieve lasting expansion. Marketing strategies attuned to local conditions generate superior engagement, improved retention, and more cost-effective customer acquisition. We view the alignment of marketing with regional expansion not as a mere tactic, but as a core strategic pillar. Through the integration of market intelligence, clear brand positioning, and comprehensive product alignment, we enable operators to not only penetrate new markets but to dominate them.

These effects repeat when players get two lions in the three central spots, but with a doubling impact as the oranges replicate, retaining their initial value. This progressive effect persists when players fill all three central spots with golden lions. Consequently, the quantity and collected value of oranges and Mystery Prizes triples. Hit the Drums and Make Lions Dance for Big Wins A potential result of the Cash on Reels system is the initiation of the Extra Fruity, Extra Juicy, and Extra Zesty game features. Created to work with the four jackpots in Oranges & Lions, these lion features can be activated separately or together, leading to as many as seven distinct game experiences. Each extra feature is symbolized by a lion of a different color and provides a specific outcome: Extra Fruity is purple and introduces additional oranges and Mystery Prizes onto the reels. Extra Juicy is red and enhances the values of current oranges and Mystery Prizes. Extra Zesty is green and increases the value of oranges and Mystery Prizes by 2x, 3x, or 5x. Every lion feature improves player rewards differently. Extra Fruity and Extra Juicy can work with all four jackpots, whereas Extra Zesty multiplies the values of the Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire jackpots, generating complex and highly engaging winning situations. A Free Spins Bonus with Higher Prize Frequency When golden lions appear in the three central positions, they help stock the Bonus Free Spins pot with coins. The pot will ultimately activate the bonus, granting eight renewable Free Spins. During these spins, the Fruity, Juicy, and Zesty features happen more often, raising the probability of larger payouts. Mystery Prize Gifts hide Big Wins and Jackpots The Mystery Prize gifts amplify the suspense and excitement in Oranges & Lions. Accessible in both the base game and Free Spins, these gifts are opened only by golden lions in the central spots, and they can deliver: One of the four Oranges & Lions jackpots – Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Grand. High-value Oranges with larger prize amounts. Oranges & Lions: A Slot with a Feature Set Designed for Casinos aiming for a Top Performance Featuring 40 paylines, multiple denomination choices, and a comprehensive set of features, Oranges & Lions is built to attract a wide spectrum of casino patrons while aiding operators' income objectives. This FBM slot can be installed on Galaxy II, Auria, and Shadow III cabinets, facilitating straightforward integration into diverse casino floor plans. By integrating numerous winning avenues, a bold visual style, and a unique Cash on Reels mechanism, Oranges & Lions is a potent enhancement to any slot collection and a game engineered to increase engagement, retention, and profitability for casino operators.
