帕布罗·拉雷恩的玛丽亚努力但失败地捕捉了卡拉丝“歌剧天后”的魅力 Latest News

帕布罗·拉雷恩的玛丽亚努力但失败地捕捉了卡拉丝“歌剧天后”的魅力

(SeaPRwire) - 你不需要爱 来爱 。她大胆而脆弱,一生充满戏剧性。她的声音反映了天堂的所有色彩,就像亚当和夏娃被赶出去之前一样。她的美介于神话和淘气之间,仿佛是被众神首席讽刺画家画出来的:她不匹配的五官——强势的鼻子,杏仁般的眼睛——相遇在一种偶然的古典完美中。 如果你的人生中只能容纳一位歌剧演唱家,卡拉斯就是那一位——她已足够。难怪 想要把她加入他那充满伟大的苦命女士的画廊,其中已经包括杰奎琳·肯尼迪·奥纳西斯(2016年的 )和戴安娜王妃(2021年的 )。在 Maria——在本届第81届威尼斯电影节上竞赛放映——中, 饰演了卡拉斯在生命最后的日子,即1977年的巴黎。她像一个哥特式幽灵一样,穿着童话般的长袍,在镀金和锦缎的公寓里飘来飘去,除了服用大量名为曼德拉克斯的镇定剂外,什么都不吃。她已经停止表演,几乎停止了唱歌,尽管她在考虑复出:她站在厨房门口,命令她忠诚的女管家布鲁娜(可靠的、很棒的阿尔芭·罗瓦赫切尔)听着,在她唱完一首咏叹调后做出反应:布鲁娜尽职地,并不恶心地,告诉她的老板她想听到什么,即使从那张嘴里发出的声音是颤抖的,苍白的,是她昔日自我的阴影。一时兴起,玛丽亚还命令她的另一位忠实仆人费鲁奇奥(由意大利著名演员皮耶尔弗朗切斯科·法维诺饰演)把她的钢琴从公寓的一端搬到另一端;下一秒她就会询问他那混乱的脊椎。对布鲁娜和费鲁奇奥来说,这都是一天的工作。玛丽亚是他们自己可爱的、有问题的暴君。 与此同时, 饰演的玛丽亚无数次地凝视着远处,哀悼她曾经的人,曾经的存在,曾经的艺术家,自言自语地反思她唯一的真爱,她口中的“丑陋的死者”——(当他在电影的闪回场景中出现时,他穿着晚礼服,像个狡猾的小地精,由土耳其演员哈鲁克·比尔吉内尔饰演。) 的每一个动作都充满了悲剧性和颤抖;当她微笑时,是那种虚弱的、宽容的微笑,仿佛她真的不想费心。这是一种来自“不要因为我漂亮而讨厌我”流派的表现,一位伟大的艺术家的最后日子被渲染成一种自觉的光芒,与卡拉斯人生固有的伟大或悲伤无关。 这不是 的错:Maria 是一部充满敬意,几乎是崇拜之情的电影,但很少有真正的情感。这并不是说拉拉因对他的人物没有感情;哦,他是多么爱他那些受苦的女士啊!只是他无法把那些感情转化成除了优雅、刻意的媚俗以外的任何东西。在 , 竭尽全力地捕捉了她人物的冷酷和她的谨慎悲伤,尽管她周围充满了巧妙的艺术电影制作。而在 Spencer, 克里斯汀·斯图尔特,是我们最具原创性的年轻演员之一,她将 演绎成一个非常悲剧的人物,这与演绎一个人并不相同。这部电影最著名的场景涉及她孤独的女主角象征性地吞下一串珍珠项链。如果锤子还没有重重地砸在你头上,那么意思就是可怜的戴安娜 是多么饥饿,渴望食物,渴望爱情,渴望一切。拉拉因有他忠实的粉丝,Jackie 和 Spencer 的爱好者可能非常喜欢 Maria. 但是对我来说,拉拉因那些据称富有同情心的心理画像就像摆在梳妆台上的一排排亚历山德拉夫人玩偶:非常漂亮,但不是用来触摸的。 我确实承认这是关键所在。 这些是故意风格化的练习,旨在让人觉得新颖而极端。但它们的繁琐令人精疲力尽。Maria 的剧情围绕着一位电视采访者的长时间访问而展开——他是真实存在的还是虚构的?这重要吗?——他的名字是曼德拉克斯,这并非没有象征意义。(他由科迪·斯密特-麦菲饰演。)亲爱的费鲁奇奥,他正在竭尽全力地让玛丽亚戒掉药物,告诉她曼德拉克斯——这个人和这种药物——不是她的朋友,但这毫无用处。她向曼德拉克斯倾诉她最深的秘密,其中包括一个涉及她那粗犷、不忠的恋人奥纳西斯的秘密,他突然离开了她,去追求另一个拉拉因玩偶的主题——杰奎琳·肯尼迪。卡拉斯在报纸上读到他们的婚姻,当 饰演的玛丽亚说出这个真相时,她内心深处有什么东西裂开了——这是这部电影中唯一真正感人的片段。然而,总的来说,Maria 更多地是专注于讲述,而不是展示。“我天生就相当叛逆!”玛丽亚用她那像娜芙蒂蒂一样的眼睛冷冷地审视着敬畏的曼德拉克斯,说道。这只是这部电影中众多出自“你还别说”目录的台词之一。(剧本由史蒂文·奈特创作,他也写了 Spencer.) 在 Maria, 中有很多值得赞赏的地方,如果赞赏是你所追求的。 为了能自己唱歌,她刻苦练习;有时,她的声音和卡拉斯的声音以不同的比例融合成一条音轨。听起来都还好——尽管当卡拉斯的声音更多时,你可能会本能地感到一阵寒颤。这部电影画面非常漂亮,这要归功于出色的摄影师 ,以及制作设计师盖伊·亨德里克斯·戴亚斯和服装设计师马西莫·坎蒂尼·帕里尼。 有机会穿上一些令人惊叹的70年代奢华服装,包括几套苗条的连衣裙和裤子组合,以及一件华贵的、毛皮装饰的锦缎睡袍/晚礼服外套。卡拉斯有杀手级的衣服,她穿得非常漂亮——Maria 做到了这一点。 拉拉因没有回避卡拉斯人生中的黑暗角落。她的母亲显然在希腊被轴心国占领期间,让她和她姐姐为德国和意大利士兵“表演”。拉拉因巧妙而谨慎地戏剧化了其中一幕。然而,即使如此,Maria 也未能捕捉到卡拉斯的精神。 将她的角色演绎得既高傲又冷酷,而且非常没有安全感,但她没有捕捉到她那不可一世的风采。卡拉斯可能很苛刻,但那都是她优异的自律的一部分:她最看重自己的才能。而且她周围有一股强大的欢乐气息,这让她脆弱的灵魂更加令人心碎。拉拉因没有用真人的片段来结尾,这对他的电影来说没有任何好处:看到她像唱歌一样欢笑,全身心投入,甚至只是看到她陷入沉思,就会让人感受到 和拉拉因未能捕捉到的所有活力。卡拉斯,年仅53岁,是超凡脱俗的。Maria 可能会美化她的传奇。但它也熄灭了她的光芒。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。

Anson Resources Underground Injection Control Permit for the Green River Lithium Project Approved ACN Newswire

Anson Resources Underground Injection Control Permit for the Green River Lithium Project Approved

Anson Resources Achieves Key Permitting MilestoneHighlights:Anson has been granted an Underground Injection Control (UIC) application for Class V wells to dispose of the processed brine at its Green River Lithium Project,The Utah Department of Environmental Quality has granted the application after a public comment consideration,The disposal wells will be located on Blackstone Minerals purchased private property,Application is based on production of 10,000 Li2CO3 tons/annum,Application applies for the development of 4 disposal wells,Conditions for Class V disposal wells include:Brine must be returned to the same Formation it was extracted from, not necessarily from the same horizon as extraction (resulting in no dilution),Volume and geochemistry of disposed brine must be like that of extracted brine,These requirements are met using the Direct Lithium Extraction.NEWPORT BEACH, CA, Aug 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Anson Resources Limited (ASX:ASN) (Anson or the Company) through its 100% owned subsidiary Blackstone Mineral NV LLC is pleased to announce that its Underground Injection Control (UIC) application has been approved by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Water Quality for its Green River Lithium Project (Project), in the Paradox Basin in south-eastern Utah, USA. The Division of Water Quality has granted the application after its review and consideration of public comments. This UIC application will enable Blackstone to re-inject the spent brine from its Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) processing plant back into subsurface formations.Anson is planning to drill new disposal wells, at the time of construction of the production plant, for the injection and disposal of the spent brine from its lithium extraction process as part of the development of the project into production. Several historical plugged and abandoned oil and gas wells are in the area and intersected similar brine reservoirs and confirmed the existence of horizons that had been encountered in the Green River area which can be used as the disposal zones. Some of these wells have already been converted into disposal wells which indicates the ability for those horizons to absorb the waste brine.The disposal wells will be located on the private property recently purchased by Blackstone, see ASX Announcement 13 September 2023. When the lithium processing plant has reached its optimal production rate there will be four disposal wells in operation which have been included in the one application, see Figure 1.The spent brine will be pumped via the injection wells into the Paradox Reservoirs, at shallower horizons into the most permeable rock formations reducing the required pumping pressure.Archaeological, environmental and site surveys have been conducted over the proposed areas and these reports have already been submitted to the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (UDOGM) as part of the drilling application. These surveys, which showed no issues with the already disturbed site, were carried out over the proposed production site, extraction and disposal well locations and surrounding areas. Access to these sites will be via county roads that exit the I70 interstate and already developed roads in existence in the Blackstone property resulting in minimal disturbance.The UIC application was a detailed report and included:Maps of the Area of Review (AOR) - 2-mile radius surrounding the proposed disposal wells,Maps and cross sections of underground sources of drinking water (USDW),Maps and cross sections of local geologic lithology, structures, and hydrologic settings,Injection well construction plan and operational plan,Corrective action plan,Monitoring, recording and reporting plans,Plugging and abandonment,Financial Responsibility (reclamation).Anson's research into the surrounding historic wells has shown that test-work, such as core sampling and flow testing, has been carried out on some of the wells which was suitable for use in providing additional information for the application. Drill Stem Tests were also carried out through some of these intervals which provides information such as porosity and permeability which will assist in the determination of the horizons to be used for disposal.Executive Chairman and CEO Bruce Richardson commented, "This approval from the Government of the State of Utah demonstrates that Anson can continue to progress the project at Green River by following the regulatory process. Progress in the past 12 months at Green River has been much faster than that of the Paradox due to the ownership of the surface area and the support from the local and state government departments and representatives for which we are extremely grateful. The reinjection of the brine back into the geological formation from which it is originally extracted protects other minerals contained in the brine for future use. The Company continues to engage with the local community to ensure that the best options for the development of the project into production are selected. We look forward to an open dialogue with the community and government as the remaining permits are considered as we move closer to production."Positive ESG AspectsThe drill program is designed to have as little impact on the environment, social and recreational activities as possible within the drill location areas which is further increased by carrying out the program on private property. There will be minimal new ground disturbance as the drill pads will be located on flat ground in areas that have already been disturbed.The use of areas where there has already been ground disturbance is consistent with Anson's aim of developing a sustainable project and minimizing environmental impact.Conservation of Water AquifersThe exploration drilling program has been designed to ensure that there is no interaction between the surface waters and the supersaturated lithium brines with the well-being steel cased and cemented in place.The majority of the water-yielding rock units in the area are part of either an upper or lower hydrologic system. The two systems are separated by the impermeable salt beds of the Pennsylvanian Paradox Formation, which underlies the counties in the region (Weir, Maxwell & Zimmerman, 1983) which is further supported by the salinity values intersected in this "surface" drilling recently completed by Anson.Contact Info:William MazeHead of Investor Relationsinvestors@ansonresources.comSOURCE: Anson Resources Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Baguio also provides collection services for Recycling Stations of “GREEN@COMMUNITY”, introduced by the EPD and smart recycling machines, and other institutions in Hong Kong. In addition, the Group also provides the Government with glass bottles collection and management services and food waste collection services in several districts in Hong Kong.Regarding green technology business, the Group launched a smart recycling system through combination of a number of advanced smart digital technologies and Internet of Things technologies. Through a one-stop management and big data analytics platform, the Group can monitor the real-time situation of the recycling machines, and flexibly deploy transportation according to the amount of recyclables, reducing logistics costs and unnecessary carbon emissions. The Group currently provides smart recycling machines to the EPD and smart food waste recycling machines to private housing estates. At present, smart recycling machines and smart food waste recycling machines are now available in different places of Hong Kong, providing the public with a convenient recycling experience 24 hours a day, and helping to increase the overall recycling volume in Hong Kong. The Government is proactively offering financial aids for private housing estates to install food waste recycling machines through the Recycling Fund and the Environment and Conservation Fund. Under the expected market demand created by the strong advocacy of the Government, it is believed that the Group’s food waste recycling machines and related smart technology business will bring huge business opportunities. With the increasing market demand for smart recycling, the Group plans to seize the opportunity of smart city development, striving to expand the market share of smart recycling machines and smart food waste recycling machines.In addition, the Government is actively promoting the “Producer Responsibility Scheme on Plastic Beverage Containers and Beverage Cartons”, and plans to table the bill to the Legislative Council for scrutiny this year with a view to introducing it in 2025. Enshrining the principle of “Polluter Pays” and the vision of “Eco-responsibility”, the recycling rate of plastic beverage containers and beverage cartons is expected to have a significant increase. The scheme is expected to directly drive the growth of Baguio’s recycling business and create solid returns from our investment in recycling facilities which creates a strong entry barrier to the competition.In partnership with Jardine Engineering Corporation Limited, the Pilot Biochar Production Plant at the EcoPark in Tuen Mun was commenced trial operation during the Period. By converting yard waste into high-quality biochar with pyrolysis technology for various applications, the production plant effectively “turns waste into useful resources”.Hong Kong has made concerted effort to keep pace with international trends in the field of green and sustainable finance, accelerating its progress towards becoming an international green finance hub. To meet the needs of sustainable development, the Group has incorporated sustainability insights into its core businesses and operations and is committed to providing customers with one-stop and diversified green environmental services and sustainable procurement solutions.

In particular, intake of tenants at the public housing estates in northern Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Area will commence progressively from 2026. The Northern Metropolis will provide about 500,000 new housing units after fully developed, which is believed to bring opportunities to the Group’s core businesses.Mr. Ng Wing Hong, Chairman of Baguio, commented, “The Government demonstrates a strong commitment to environmental agenda. Baguio’s core businesses are closely related to the livelihood of the general public and are not affected by the economic environment. Despite the presence of economic headwinds, the Group’s core business continues to demonstrate a growth trajectory.While the implementation of the Waste Charging was postponed during the Period, the Government has significantly increased its efforts to increase various types of recycling spots through recyclers. For example, the addition of night mobile food waste recycling spots to facilitate citizens’ recycling, with improvement in terms of quality and quantity, which directly brings growth impetus to the Group’s recycling business. Therefore, the postponement of Waste Charging has no adverse impact on the Group’s recycling business, and on the contrary, results in an increase in business. In the long run, waste reduction and recycling will help achieve the Government’s goal of “Zero Landfill”, and benefit the development of the Group’s recycling and green technology businesses.”Looking forward, the Group will continue to increase the market share of its core businesses and proactively engage in expansion in Hong Kong and beyond. Meanwhile, in line with the development of the Group, it will actively explore potential mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures or new business projects to accelerate future business growth and deliver substantial and long-term returns to shareholders.For details of the Group's 2024 interim results announcement, please visit the following website:http://www.baguio.com.hk/en-US/Investor%20Relations/Announcements%20and%20Notices- End -About Baguio Green GroupEstablished in 1980, Baguio Green Group (Stock code: 01397.HK) is one of Hong Kong’s largest integrated environmental services groups.

2024 年猴痘须知 Latest News

2024 年猴痘须知

(SeaPRwire) - 世界卫生组织 (WHO) 已经第二次在两年内宣布猴痘为公共卫生紧急事件。猴痘并没有在这两次疫情爆发之间消失,但世卫组织的最新声明表明,猴痘再次成为全球健康的重要担忧。 目前,猴痘疫情集中在非洲,在该地区的一些地区,该病毒长期存在。这种疾病在刚果民主共和国 (DRC) 特别普遍,但包括布隆迪、尼日利亚、肯尼亚、乌干达和中非共和国在内的国家也出现了病例。 和 都报告了与疫情相关的旅行病例。 目前,世卫组织表示,对世界其他地区人民的风险为“中等”。以下是关于 2024 年猴痘的知识。 这次疫情与 2022 年的疫情有什么不同? 当前的疫情比两年前世界经历的要复杂,曾参与世卫组织 2022 年猴痘应对工作的传染病医生 Krutika Kuppalli 博士说。 那次疫情与病毒的一个进化枝 (或菌株) 有关:2b 进化枝。该进化枝从未完全消失,但许多国家能够控制其传播。现在,与 2b 进化枝相关的病例继续在许多地方被诊断出来,而中非和东非的国家也报告了与另一种菌株相关的病例,被称为 1 进化枝。包括刚果民主共和国在内的一些国家还出现了由最近发现的 1 进化枝亚变种引起的病例,标记为 1b 进化枝。“我们仍在了解这种新的变种,”Kuppalli 说。 包括美国疾病控制与预防中心 (CDC) 在内的卫生当局表示, 比 2b 进化枝更致命, 将新的 1b 进化枝的病例死亡率定为 6%。但是 8 月份发布的发现表明,1 进化枝的死亡率低于专家最初的估计——约为 1.7%——如果患者得到适当的医疗护理。 6 月份发表在《自然医学》杂志上的研究也发现,大约 1.4% 的感染这种新变种的患者死亡。Kuppalli 说,来自该地区的最新报告表明,该比率可能更低,约为 0.7%,这是令人鼓舞的。 猴痘是如何传播的? 当有人患上猴痘时,他们往往会在出现水泡状皮疹之前出现类似流感的症状。他们被认为具有传染性,直到皮疹完全愈合, 对 CDC 说。 猴痘通常通过与感染者的直接皮肤接触而传播。但它也可以通过接触受感染的动物、接触病人的体液或从孕妇传播到胎儿而传播,CDC 表示。 在 2022 年的疫情期间, 在全球范围内,男性同性恋者之间的性接触是 。性接触仍然是造成高比例病例的原因, 。但该机构表示,在非洲目前爆发的疫情中,该病毒似乎也通过非性的人际接触传播。 在刚果民主共和国——主要与最初的 1 进化枝有关,这种进化枝已知会影响儿童,Kuppalli 说。 她说,导致传播模式发生变化的原因“可能是多方面的”。可能的原因包括自人们不再常规接种天花疫苗(与猴痘类似)以来人群整体免疫力下降、病毒本身的变化、从动物身上越来越多的溢出或加重健康问题(如其他感染或营养不良)的流行,这些健康问题使人们更容易受到感染。根据 ,在刚果民主共和国也似乎出现了一些与动物相关的传播。 美国的猴痘发病率在上升吗? 截至 8 月 22 日,美国 与 1 进化枝猴痘有关。但与导致 2022 年疫情爆发的菌株相关的病例继续被诊断出来。“人们忘记了猴痘还在,”纽约长老会/哥伦比亚大学欧文医学中心的传染病医生 Jason Zucker 博士说。“即使猴痘从新闻中消失,我们对它考虑得少了很多,但这并不意味着它真的消失了。” 根据初步的 CDC ,美国今年迄今已报告了 1700 多例猴痘病例。这远低于最初的疫情,当时 从 2022 年持续到 2023 年上半年。 即使 2b 进化枝继续传播,Zucker 说,他对病例不会像以前那样大幅上升感到乐观。2022 年的猴痘传播是出乎意料的,导致实验室、医生和公共卫生系统 。现在,Zucker 说,有症状的人更容易被诊断、检测和治疗,疫苗也已可供需要的人使用。 我应该接种疫苗吗? CDC 的免疫实践咨询委员会 只针对具有某些风险因素的人,例如有多个男性性伴侣或预计有多个男性性伴侣的男性。由于目前美国普通公众的传播风险较低,“目前没有理由让不在脆弱人群中的人急着去接种疫苗,”Zucker 说。 研究人员仍在确定现有的猴痘疫苗是否对新进化枝有效。目前还没有太多现实世界的可用数据,但有充分的理由认为它们会有效,拉霍亚免疫学研究所疫苗创新中心联席主任 Alessandro Sette 说。目前使用的疫苗对天花和猴痘都有效,这表明它们具有相当广泛的有效性,Sette 说。他说,痘病毒往往比 SARS-CoV-2 和流感等病毒的变异幅度更小。 为了帮助控制疫情,美国 对刚果民主共和国提供 ,以及资金来支持推广。包括 和 在内的国家也在捐赠疫苗。 Kuppalli 说,在当地加强监测、检测和高质量的医疗治疗也很重要。“重点确实需要放在目前疫情爆发的地区,即非洲,”她说。“在某些情况下,[这个事实] 已经有点被忽视了。”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。

HONG KONG, Aug 29, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Noah Holdings Limited ("Noah" or the "Company") (NYSE: NOAH and HKEX: 6686), a leading and pioneer wealth management service provider offering comprehensive one-stop advisory services on global investment and asset allocation primarily for Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth investors, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter of 2024.Noah recorded total net revenue of RMB 616 million in the second quarter of 2024. The wealth management business generated net revenues of RMB 416 million, while the asset management business reported net revenues of RMB 192 million.Strategically Overseas Expansion and Comprehensive investment SolutionsNoah’s overseas expansion is gaining momentum as client demand for global asset allocation strengthens, with overseas net revenue contribution increasing to 46.3% in the first half of 2024 and asset under management increasing 14.1% year-over-year during the quarter. Noah also raised US$ 338 million for overseas private equity, private credit, and other primary market funds year-to-date, a significant 40.2% year-over-year increase.Income from operations was RMB 134 million, an increase of 10.3% sequentially, with an operating margin of 21.8%, an increase from 18.7% in the first quarter of 2024. These results directly reflect the early success of Noah’s strategic transformation as it implements effective cost control measures, restructures its domestic business, and accelerates its expansion overseas."The pace of our overseas expansion is gaining momentum," said Zhe Yin, the Chief Executive Officer of Noah Holdings. "Our team of overseas relationship managers directly supporting this expansion grew 101.8% year-over-year and 24.2% sequentially during the quarter. While we are still in the relatively early stages of our overseas expansion, these results reflect the direction we are headed in going forward.”“Domestically, we are focused on stabilizing operations by streamlining our branch network to reduce overhead costs and adjusting our client service model to comply with evolving regulatory requirements by separating relationship and business development managers into different independent business units. While these initiatives may temporarily impact business activity over the next few quarters, they will ensure our ability to effectively and compliantly serve clients with a comprehensive portfolio of products in the long term. I am pleased with the progress we have made this quarter in expanding overseas, and confident in both our long-term growth potential and ability to consistently generate returns for shareholders."As of June 30, 2024, the number of overseas registered clients increased by 6.7% sequentially 23.0% year-over-year to 16,786, further reflecting the growing demand for overseas asset allocation. Notably, the number of overseas diamond and black card clients saw an even more substantial year-on-year increase of 14.2%.The Company also observed a shift in product preferences, a trend that aligns with the forward-looking strategies outlined in Noah's Chief Investment Office’s (CIO) house view. Interest in investment products increased substantially as a result of expectations for a potential Federal Reserve rate cut during the second half of the year. Known for its expertise and ability to offer clients alternative investments on a global basis, Noah is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this opportunity to grow its USD AUA.As of June 30, 2024, Noah’s overseas relationship manager team grew to 113, a 24.2% increase sequentially. This expansion reflects Noah’s commitment to building a robust presence in key international financial hubs, and enhances its ability to serve high-net-worth clients with comprehensive global investment solutions.Prioritizing Shareholder Interests and Delivering Sustained ReturnsAs part of its commitment to enhancing shareholder returns, the board of directors of the company authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to US$50 million of its American depositary shares or ordinary shares, effective immediately. The authorized term for carrying out this share repurchase program is two years.Noah announced in November 2023 that a new capital management and shareholder return policy (the “Policy”) had been adopted, pursuant to which up to 50% the Company's non-GAAP net income attributable to shareholders of the preceding financial year will be allocated to a Corporate Actions Budget which will serve various purposes, including dividend distribution and share repurchases. The share repurchase program announced on August 29 2024 does not form a part of the Corporate Actions Budget under the Policy. The Corporate Actions Budget based on Noah’s financial performance in 2024 is expected to be determined and announced alongside the Company’s earnings results for the fourth quarter and full year ending on December 31, 2024.Ms. Jingbo Wang, co-founder and chairwoman of Noah, commented, “This share repurchase program, along with the dividend payout we just completed, reflects our unwavering commitment to prioritizing shareholder interests and delivering sustained returns. While China’s wealth management industry is navigating a challenging period and undergoing a transition, we remain confident in Noah’s unique advantages stemming from our deep understanding of Mandarin-speaking high-net-worth individuals’ (HNWI) needs and our ability to deliver products and services to this still-growing client base. We are one of a few independent firms that maintains access, through years of investor education, to a large group of qualified individual investors who continue to seek professional services.”“As such, we believe that our stock is deeply undervalued and does not reflect our growth prospects, robust balance sheet and cash reserves, or the special bond we have formed with the Mandarin-speaking HNWIs globally. We value both our long-term and new shareholders and are committed to sharing our success with them through more proactive capital allocation policies moving forward.”Strengthening Commitment to ESG PrinciplesIn the first half of 2024, Noah published its 10th Annual environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report, highlighting its decade-long commitment to corporate responsibility and sustainable practices. Additionally, Gopher Asset Management, Noah's asset management arm, also joined the latest Nature Responsible Management initiative, Spring, announced by Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2024, reinforcing its role in driving responsible investment practices in order to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2030.By aligning with the PRI, Noah reaffirms its commitment to integrating ESG factors into its investment processes, fostering sustainable and responsible investment practices that benefit all stakeholders.Noah continues to adapt and evolve amidst a challenging market environment. The Company’s strategic initiatives, focused on global expansion, technological innovation, and sustainable practices, are beginning to yield tangible results, laying a strong foundation for continued success in the years to come.

Intercity Battery Train Starts Testing in the North of England JCN Newswire

Intercity Battery Train Starts Testing in the North of England

LONDON, Aug 29, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The UK’s pioneering intercity battery train began testing on the national rail network earlier this week. This key milestone will see the battery technology trialled on routes between York to Manchester Airport and Leeds to Liverpool Lime Street over the next eight weeks.The train will be easily recognisable with the distinct due to the new livery which celebrates the collaboration between TransPennine Express (TPE), Angel Trains and Hitachi Rail.A variety of important tests will take place, including the battery’s ability to improve performance on hills,regenerative charging via braking, fuel and emission savings, and zero-emission battery mode in train stations.Rail network testing is taking place after the battery train successfully completed low speed tests on the test track at Hitachi Rail’s Newton Aycliffe manufacturing facility. During these tests the train was propelled entirely by the battery, producing zero tailpipe emissions.This is the first UK trial where a diesel engine is replaced with a battery on an intercity train. The battery has beensuccessfully retrofitted onto one of TPE’s ‘Nova 1’ trains (five-carriage intercity Class 802).The battery, which generates a peak power of more than 700kw, is predicted to reduce emissions and fuel costs by as much as 30% on a Hitachi intercity train. It will also demonstrate how battery technology can reduce costs in the railways by reducing the need for overhead wires in tunnel sections and over complex junctions.The trial also aims to support the UK battery sector and green growth, with Hitachi Rail investing over £15 million todevelop this pioneering technology with Turntide Technologies in Sunderland.Paul Staples, Engineering, Safety and Sustainability Director at TransPennine Express, said:“This trial is a huge step towards the rail industry in the UK – and around the world reducing CO2 emissions and we are excited to be part of it.“TPE is dedicated to making our journeys greener by reducing our carbon footprint, creating resilience to climate change and improving local air quality.”Matthew Prosser, Asset Management Director at Angel Trains, said:“Following the success of one of our Class 802 trains running entirely in battery-mode at Newton Aycliffe, we're excited to see how this technology performs on the national rail network. This project represents a multimillion-poundjoint investment by Angel Trains and Hitachi in one of our newest fleets. It will both support and draw upon the skilled jobs and expertise at Hitachi's Newton Aycliffe facility and enable us to demonstrate how battery retrofit technology can help us decarbonise our railways."Paul Newlove, Head of Green Technologies Programme said:“After seeing the train running entirely in battery-mode at Newton Aycliffe, I can’t wait to see how this technology can reduce emissions, reduce fuel costs and improve air quality on the Transpennine route.“This part of the trial is going to be really exciting because we start to prove the benefits of this green technology for passengers, operators and policy makers.“It has been such a team effort, with colleagues in Japan, Italy and UK working together for years to finally reach this important stage.”This important project draws upon Hitachi’s global expertise which includes delivering the world’s first passenger battery train in Japan, and rolling out the Masaccio, Europe’s first battery hybrid train in Italy in 2022. The evolution of the technology continues at pace with Hitachi Rail recently unveiling its new intercity version of the train, and with atarget to roll out a EuroMasaccio in additional European markets, including Germany from 2026.The development of this battery is an important step for the rail industry both home and abroad. Hitachi Rail has an ambition to install this battery on trains around the world, potentially creating a UK export and improving energy efficiency.There are thousands of trains running across the world that are powered by diesel engines, which will need to be decarbonised to meet net zero targets. In Italy, the Masaccio has instantly cut CO2 emissions by 50% compared to thediesel trains it has replaced. The ability to replace diesel engines with a powerful battery, and unlock cheaper partial electrification, can create a low-cost pathway to decarbonise railways around the world.About Hitachi Rail:Hitachi Rail is connecting the future of mobility - helping every passenger, customer and community enjoy the benefits of more seamless, sustainable transport.With innovative technology and world-leading delivery capabilities, Hitachi Rail is a trusted partner to customers andconsortia partners globally.
