NTT DOCOMO Develops a Solution to Streamline DOOH Advertiser Review Operations

TOKYO, Japan, Jan 27, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT DOCOMO, INC. announced today that it has developed a solution to streamline pre-publication advertiser review operations for Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) advertising, including digital signage and large-format displays in public and urban spaces, in collaboration with LIVE BOARD, Inc.The solution improves the efficiency of advertiser review processes conducted prior to DOOH ad distribution. By applying large language models (LLMs) to multiple review items that were previously handled manually, the solution is expected to reduce digital advertiser review workloads by over 30%.DOOH advertiser reviews require checks against publicly available information on advertisers and compliance with various guidelines. As the volume of DOOH ad placements has increased significantly in recent years, review time and operational costs have become major challenges. DOOH ad reviews generally consist of two components: advertiser review and creative review. This newly developed solution focuses on streamlining advertiser reviews, which verify advertiser credibility as a prerequisite for DOOH ad distribution.Figure 1. Solution Application OverviewWhen using LLMs for advertiser reviews, two limitations arise: limited information freshness and limited access to external resources. The former refers to the difficulty of keeping information up to date, while the latter includes issues such as invalid URLs generated by LLMs. To address these challenges, DOCOMO developed this new solution by integrating five core technologies, enabling the AI to quickly obtain accurate and sufficient information for advertiser reviews.Core Technologies of the SolutionWeb search-based grounding technologyAutomated generation of company profile research resultsAutomated generation of legal compliance review resultsAutomated generation of risk assessment resultsAutomated generation of media-specific competitor analysis resultsGoing forward, DOCOMO aims to develop an AI-based technology to streamline creative reviews by applying AI to manual repetitive visual checks of video content for large public displays from the perspective of broadcast ethics and legal regulations. In addition, the company will continue to further enhance the efficiency of DOOH advertising review operations, aiming to refine advertising-related technologies and revitalize the advertising business. Through this, DOCOMO will pursue research and development to optimize the entirety of DOOH operations.AppendixOverview of the DOOH Advertiser Review Solution1.Overview Advertiser reviews verify credibility and compliance based on multiple checks, including company profiles, legal compliance, risk, and media-specific competition. For the investigation, various information available on the internet will be required, such as the advertiser's name, product name, official website, and detailed pages related to the product. This solution consolidates information gathering and multi-angle reviews using online data, and outputs review decisions with supporting reasons. By automating processes previously handled manually, it is expected to improve efficiency by more than 30%.2.System ConfigurationThe solution integrates web search-based grounding with automated generation of company profile, legal compliance, risk, and media-specific competitor review results. By combining these technologies with review criteria databases and diverse online information sources, and designing them around advertiser review workflows and expertise, the system enables accurate and timely retrieval of relevant information and the rapid, integrated execution of multiple review processes.System Framework2.1 Web Search-Based Grounding TechnologyWhen generating responses, the AI references external web search services to access up-to-date and reliable sources and produces outputs based on that information.2.2 Automated Company Profile GenerationThe AI accurately retrieves and displays company profile information from official websites, including company name, headquarters location, date of establishment, capital, representative, business description, and contact URLs or phone numbers.2.3 Automated Legal Compliance ReviewThe AI collects the latest information on an advertiser's legal compliance from multiple sources, conducts assessments based on current data, and outputs review results.2.4 Automated Risk AssessmentUsing the latest publicly available information from various sources, the AI evaluates potential risks related to the advertiser and outputs assessment results.2.5 Automated Media-Specific Competitor ReviewBased on the advertiser's industry and products, the AI accesses a review criteria database containing media-specific competition checks and product-based standards, and outputs eligible media, media names, and a detailed summary file of the review results.By integrating these component technologies, DOCOMO will further improve the efficiency of the advertiser review process.

明尼蘇達州對ICE探員的限制遭上訴法院阻止

(SeaPRwire) -   特朗普政府獲得上訴法院一項命令,阻止了一名法官對美國移民及海關執法局(ICE)在明尼蘇達州處理抗議者策略的限制措施。 美國第八巡迴上訴法院於週一無限期暫停了下級法院法官1月16日頒布的一項命令,該命令原本禁止執法人員在明尼阿波利斯逮捕、拘留、噴灑胡椒噴霧或報復和平抗議者。此項裁決將維持暫停狀態,直至政府上訴程序結束。 去年12月提起的一項訴訟指控聯邦執法人員侵犯了六名抗議者的憲法權利,包括包圍一名平民的車輛並將步槍對準車內。抗議活動在明尼阿波利斯各地持續進行,當地ICE人員於1月7日射殺蕾妮·古德(Renee Good),並於1月24日射殺亞歷克斯·普雷蒂(Alex Pretti)。美國總統唐納·特朗普曾威脅將援引《叛亂法》,並讓1,500名美國軍隊進入待命狀態,以協助在明尼蘇達州的聯邦執法人員。 美國聯邦地區法官凱瑟琳·梅南德斯(Katherine Menendez)在1月16日的命令中表示,抗議者已證明ICE人員存在「持續且不斷的」恐嚇行為模式。她指出,她無法「忽視幾乎從未間斷的新聞報導——雙城地區(Twin Cities)持續的抗議活動屢屢遭遇移民執法人員的強硬回應」。 梅南德斯由前總統喬·拜登(Joe Biden)任命,她目前也在審議明尼蘇達州官員提出的一項請求,即頒布命令暫停在該州部署數千名移民執法人員。 梅南德斯在週一的聽證會上告訴律師,她正艱難處理該州提出的廣泛請求——即在法律爭議持續期間暫停「大都會激增行動」(Operation Metro Surge)並命令執法人員撤離街頭。她提到,美國官員在執行移民法方面「擁有很大權力」。 但這名法官也質疑司法部(Justice Department)的聲稱,即此波行動的目標並非迫使明尼蘇達州改變其限制與聯邦移民執法機構合作的政策,這凸顯出美國官員公開聲明與政府在法庭辯論之間的不一致。 延伸閱讀:  明尼蘇達州指控,ICE及其他聯邦機構執法人員的部署違憲地干預了該州管理自身事務的權限,並損害居民的安全與健康。  基礎案件為Tincher v. Noem(案號25-cv-4669,美國明尼蘇達州聯邦地區法院)。上訴案件為Tincher v. Noem(案號26-1105,美國第八巡迴上訴法院)。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。

搭載隱形戰機的航母打擊群抵達中東,川普正考量對伊朗發動攻擊,同時空軍戰機與運輸機也正前往該地區

(SeaPRwire) -   航空母艦「美國亞伯拉罕·林肯號」(USS Abraham Lincoln)與三艘隨行的[...],讓唐納·川普總統可能因伊朗的[...]而下令對其發動空襲的可能性再度升高。 美國中央司令部周一在社群媒體上表示,該航空母艦連同三艘驅逐艦「目前部署在中東地區,以促進區域安全與穩定」。 中央司令部指出,該打擊群位於印度洋,而非與伊朗接壤的阿拉伯海。它將為該地區帶來數千名額外的軍事人員,而該地區自[...]在10月奉命作為[...]的一部分駛往加勒比海以來,就沒有美國航空母艦駐紮。 川普上周告訴記者,這些船艦被派往該地區是「以防萬一」。他說:「我們有一支龐大的艦隊朝那個方向前進,或許我們不必使用它。」 川普早些時候曾威脅,如果伊朗在12月底開始的抗議鎮壓行動中對囚犯執行大規模死刑,或殺害和平示威者,將採取軍事行動。根據活動人士的說法,至少有5,973人死亡,超過41,800人被拘留。[...]的數字則低得多,僅3,117人死亡。 最近,川普[...]可能採取的行動,聲稱伊朗已停止絞死800名被拘留的抗議者。他並未詳述這項聲稱的來源,而該聲稱[...] 然而,川普似乎仍保留選項。周四在空軍一號上,他表示,如果伊朗政府繼續計劃處決部分抗議者,他的[...]將讓去年的[...]「看起來像小錢一樣微不足道」。 該航空母艦搭載多個航空中隊,包括F-35「閃電II」戰鬥機和F/A-18「超級大黃蜂」戰鬥機。與此同時,驅逐艦攜帶數百枚導彈,其中可能包括數十枚「戰斧」陸攻巡航導彈。 除了航空母艦及其裝備外,美國軍方表示,空軍F-15E「攻擊鷹」戰鬥機現在已在該地區部署。 追蹤飛行數據的分析師注意到,數十架美國軍用運輸機也正前往該地區。 這項活動與去年類似,當時美國為預期伊朗在[...]後發動反擊,部署了防空裝備,包括「愛國者」飛彈系統。伊朗在該次打擊後數天,向烏代德空軍基地(Al Udeid Air Base)發射了十多枚導彈。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。

(SeaPRwire) -   特朗普政府將向位於俄克拉荷馬州的美國稀土公司(USA Rare Earth)投資16億美元,使政府持有該公司的股權可能超過15%,白宮仍在繼續對上市公司進行一系列投資。 自特朗普開始第二任期以來,聯邦政府已獲得至少10家公司的所有權或購股權。其中包括在新日鐵旗下的美國鋼鐵公司(U.S. Steel)持有「金股」,以及成為美國稀土公司的競爭對手MP Materials的最大股東。這一系列交易日益凸顯特朗普…… 這10筆交易中有6筆涉及關鍵礦業,包括稀土,旨在打破中國在這個對從軍事裝備到汽車再到高性能計算和數據中心等製造業都至關重要的行業的近乎壟斷地位。自特朗普發起全球關稅戰以來,中國……以及高性能磁鐵製造的主導地位。 「美國稀土公司的重稀土關鍵礦業項目對恢復美國關鍵礦業的獨立性至關重要,」美國商務部長霍華德·盧特尼克在一份聲明中表示。「這項投資確保了我們的供應鏈具有韌性,不再依賴外國。」 1月26日交易宣布後,美國稀土公司(USAR)的股價上漲了8%,市值增至37億美元。自年初以來,該公司股票已上漲125%。 根據美國證券交易委員會1月26日的一份文件,根據認股權證是否全部行使,政府的持股比例可能在8%至16%之間。這筆交易包括2.77億美元的直接聯邦資金,以及通過《芯片法案》提供的13億美元貸款。美國稀土公司還宣布了一項15億美元的私募融資(PIPE,private investment in public equity)交易,由大型共同基金公司領投,對其股權進行私人投資。在私募融資交易中,上市公司通過以協商價格(通常有折扣)直接向私人機構投資者出售證券,快速募集資本。 威廉·布萊爾公司的行業分析師尼爾·丁曼在一份報告中表示,市場可能「認為政府未來還會向其他公司提供更多稀土資金」。 與1月23日的收盤價相比,美國稀土公司的交易使美國政府在購買其股票時獲得了近31%的折扣。這一協議引發了股價隨後的上漲。 雖然美國稀土公司的交易是通過商務部進行的,但之前與MP Materials的交易是通過國防部進行的,這表明政府在談判交易時缺乏一致性,採取的是一種定制化的方式。 同樣,政府在與MP Materials的交易中設定了保證最低價格,而美國稀土公司的協議目前還沒有這樣的定價機制。理由是美國稀土公司計劃開採的稀土更稀有,受中國價格傾銷的影響較小。 美國稀土公司的未來 美國稀土公司目前的產量也不多,但即將開始大量生產。其在西德克薩斯州的圓頂稀土開採和加工項目計劃於2028年底開工,比之前的預期提前了兩年;其在俄克拉荷馬州斯蒂爾沃特的高性能磁鐵製造工廠計劃於今年春末開工。 去年,美國稀土公司收購了英國的稀有金屬公司(Less Common Metals),在英國獲得了一個加工和金屬製造中心,並且很快將在法國開始建設一個新工廠。 美國稀土公司的目標是成為國內唯一一家從開採到磁鐵製造的廠商,專注於更稀有的重稀土,尤其是對高性能磁鐵關鍵的鏑和鋱金屬。雖然稀土實際上並不稀有,但要找到足夠高濃度的稀土以便經濟地開採和加工卻很難。更重的稀土要大量提取就更困難了。 MP Materials是目前美國唯一一家從開採到磁鐵製造的廠商,但MP Materials專注於在其位於加利福尼亞州的山口礦區開採輕稀土。 至於美國政府在關鍵礦業的其他投資,特朗普政府已對兩家加拿大公司,即美洲鋰業公司(Lithium Americas)和三聯金屬公司(Trilogy Metals)進行了投資,這兩家公司都在美國開發項目;此外還對北卡羅萊納州的磁鐵製造商Vulcan Elements進行了投資。政府還與印第安納州的關鍵礦業加工商ReElement Technologies簽訂了購股權協議。 丁曼建議密切關注政府可能投資的其他公司,如礦業開發商NioCorp Development、美國銻業公司(United States Antimony),甚至澳大利亞的萊納斯稀土公司(Lynas Rare Earths)。萊納斯是中國以外全球最大的稀土公司,目前正在考慮在德克薩斯州開發項目。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。

Strategy 再買更多比特幣——花了2.64億美元——儘管比特幣跌至87,000美元

(SeaPRwire) -   儘管加密貨幣目前處於低迷期,Strategy仍進一步增持比特幣。該公司上周購買了超過2900枚比特幣,使其總持有量超過71.2萬枚,。這一行動是在本月早些時候的一次增持之後。 Strategy是首個也是最大的數字資產庫,即一種收購並持有大量加密貨幣的公司。Saylor的公司自2020年開始投資比特幣,目前持有超過3%的總供應量。在過去幾個月裡,這種商業模式面臨重大挑戰,因為這一最大的加密貨幣自10月創歷史高點以來大幅下跌。比特幣目前價值約87,000美元,自那以來下跌了約31%,據Binance數據。 一位分析師認為,考慮到公司的商業策略,即基於比特幣長期會升值的理論不斷積累比特幣,並在市場下跌時機購買,Saylor的購買是預期之內的。 “‘看到他們真的在積極持續購買[比特幣],我並不感到意外,’CFRA Research的分析師Nathan Schmidt表示。‘這當然是他們如今的行動方針。’ 比特幣自10月約126,000美元的歷史高點下跌,部分是由於秋季的一次閃崩,加密貨幣交易員在此次閃崩中損失超過190億美元。今年以來,數字資產的錯失仍在持續。該行業隨著格陵蘭上空的某種情況而下跌。此外,被稱為的主要監管立法,由於其細節而引發爭議。 主要加密貨幣並非唯一遭受損失的,替代幣也在下跌。在過去三個月裡下跌了30%,目前價格為2,899美元,而下跌超過38%,目前價格約為124美元,據Binance數據。 加密貨幣的下跌導致Strategy等數字資產庫的回報慘淡。Saylor公司的股票自7月以來下跌約64%,目前價格約為160美元。 CFRA Research的分析師Schmidt認為,Strategy面臨的最大風險是比特幣價值的長期下跌。他表示,由於流動性,公司在未來幾年內可以度過這樣的下跌,但隨著時間推移,公司將面臨困境。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。

經過40年職涯攀升後,Walmart執行長Doug McMillon即將退休——他給Z世代的首要建議是「人生苦短」,不必憎恨自己的工作

(SeaPRwire) -   ’s CEO 將於本月底卸任,他花了整整四十年的職涯從倉庫一路晉升到高層管理階層。回顧他在這家市值9380億美元的零售巨頭的跌宕旅程,McMillon 給剛踏入職場的Gen Zers分享了三個教訓——第一個教訓不需要什麼名校學歷,只需要決心。  “職涯方面,對於任何向我請教的人,我首先會說要把今天的工作做好、專注當下、推動變革、達成成果,並且要以正確的方式行事,” McMillon 在2024年阿肯色大學的(空白處)上告訴畢業生。“專注於當前職位並贏得信任,會帶來下一個工作機會。” McMillon 深知如何利用忠誠度在職涯中躍升。這位即將退休的CEO 早在1984年就開始在倉庫裡整理訂單和卸貨,當時時薪僅僅6.5美元。這份暑期工最終發展成他在該企業長達四十年的職涯;在獲得塔爾薩大學MBA學位後,他於1991年轉入Walmart的企業部門擔任釣具採購員,並一路晉升到2014年成為CEO。  將整個職涯奉獻給同一個雇主並非易事,但McMillon 表示他從來沒有“一天感到無聊過”——並建議Gen Zers也要找到自己熱愛的職業。  “我的第二個建議是追求一份讓你覺得不像是工作的職業。人生太短暫,不該花這麼多時間做你不喜歡的事,” McMillon 接著說。“我希望你能像我一樣很快找到適合自己的位置,但如果沒有,我的建議是不要放棄,直到找到為止……如果你在對的地方,大多數日子裡,工作甚至不會讓你覺得像是工作。” 對於被(空白處)、(空白處)、(空白處)和沉重(空白處)困擾的年輕一代來說,McMillon的最後一個教訓尤其中肯。即使在最艱難的時候,也要對他人懷有同理心。  “我的第三個也是最後一個建議是,假設他人出發點是善意的,並對他們多些寬容。要知道,你從付出中獲得的快樂會比從獲得中更多,” McMillon 補充道。“如今我們的世界充滿了衝突,有很多擔憂和太多的痛苦。我們有很多挑戰需要解決。” 已聯繫Walmart尋求評論。  認為熱愛所做之事很重要的CEO們 McMillon 並不是唯一鼓勵Gen Zers做能充實心靈而非僅僅填滿銀行帳戶的事的企業領袖。已故(公司名空白)創始人兼CEO(名字空白)建議不要滿足於一份自己不熱情的工作;Jobs對職涯的熱愛支撐他度過被自己創建的公司開除以及Apple幾乎破產的難關。他鼓勵年輕員工也要找到自己的使命,即使這意味著拒絕那些感覺不對的機會。  “你的工作將填滿你生活的很大一部分,而真正滿足的唯一方法是做你認為偉大的工作。而做偉大工作的唯一方法是熱愛你所做的事,” Jobs 在2005年史丹佛大學的畢業典禮演講中說。“如果你還沒有找到,繼續尋找——不要妥協。就像所有與心有關的事情一樣,當你找到時,你會知道的。” 追求充實職涯的一個好處是,它能讓工作中的艱難時刻變得更容易承受。(公司名空白)創始人兼CEO Christian Toetzke 表示,要達到合適的工作與生活平衡,就要熱愛你的工作到讓任何事都不覺得是麻煩。如果說有什麼的話,每天去辦公室並處理數百封電子郵件是一種禮物。  “我非常相信工作與生活的平衡,但問題永遠在於我們如何看待這件事。而且,我是一個非常幸運的人,因為我不認為我做的事是工作。” Toetzke 去年在Brian Sozzi的 Opening Bid Unfiltered podcast中說。“我做我真正熱愛的事,這也是我的愛好。對我來說,工作不是懲罰,幾乎是一種獎賞。” 但CEO們確實強調,熱愛所做的事並不意味著一切總是一帆風順。(名字空白),鞋類公司Brooks Running的首席執行官,告訴追求最高職位的人,這份工作伴隨著一些混亂。  “Brooks並不完美——沒有任何組織是完美的,” Sheridan 在(某平台空白)的 Leadership Next podcast去年說。“我們有自己的缺點和問題……80%的時間我熱愛我做的事。” 這位CEO承認,另外20%的時間裡,他的工作充滿了“讓你抓狂的事和你無法解決的事”。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。

「風很大,所以我就想,別從尖頂上掉下來」:美國攀岩者不繫繩索,僅用90分鐘就攀登了台北101大樓

(SeaPRwire) -   美國攀岩者艾力克斯·霍諾德(Alex Honnold)於週日徒手攀登台北101大樓,未使用任何繩索或防護裝備。 在他出發約90分鐘後,成功登上這座508公尺(1,667英尺)高的大樓頂端,街道上的人群爆發出歡呼。霍諾德身穿紅色短袖上衣,在頭頂上方揮舞著雙臂。 「景色太棒了,令人難以置信,真是美好的一天,」他事後表示。「風很大,所以我一直提醒自己,別從尖塔上掉下來。我努力保持良好的平衡。但身處那樣的位置,以這樣美好的方式俯瞰台北,真是太不可思議了。」 以攀登約塞米蒂國家公園的酋長岩(El Capitan)而聞名的霍諾德,利用小型L形突出物作為立足點,攀爬台北101的一個角落。期間,他必須繞過並爬上從大樓突出的大型裝飾結構的側面,僅憑雙手將自己拉上去。 這座建築有101層樓,最難的部分是中間的64層 —— 即賦予大樓標志性外觀的「竹節」部分。分為八個部分,每個部分有八層陡峭的懸垂攀爬路段,其後是陽台,他在向上攀爬的途中會在那裡短暫休息。 霍諾德在台灣首府的攀登過程在 上直播,延遲10秒。這次攀登原定於周六進行,因下雨延遲了24小時。 對習慣在偏遠地區攀爬的霍諾德來說,有一群歡呼的人群圍觀,一開始既新鮮又有點讓人緊張。 「當我離地的時候,你會覺得,哇,感覺很緊張,這麼多人在看,」他說。「但事實上,他們都在祝我好運。我的意思是,基本上這讓整個體驗更有節日氣氛,所有這些好人都出來支持我,大家都玩得很開心。」 這次攀登既引發了興奮之情,也有人擔心在直播中嘗試如此高風險的活動所涉及的道德問題。 霍諾德不是第一個攀登台北101的攀岩者,但他是第一個不使用繩索攀登的人。法國攀岩者阿蘭·羅伯特(Alain Robert)在2004年聖誕節攀登了這座建築,作為當時世界最高建築盛大開幕活動的一部分。 ___ 美聯社視頻記者吳太京(Taijing Wu)和在北京的作家森津健(Ken Moritsugu)提供報導。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。

是的,你的退稅更多了。但你孩子不會感謝你,因為這給赤字增加了3萬億美元

(SeaPRwire) -   新年的決心通常是關於更負責任地利用時間、鍛煉,或朝更大的目標努力。堅持這樣的決心的價值在於,當你回頭看時,可以看到自己在實現既定目標方面取得了多大進展。 去年,共和黨議員將目光投向了重大稅收立法,現在,這項工作的成果將開始顯現——包括對數百萬納稅人來說。但這並不意味著國會應該停止其稅改工作,尤其是如果議員們認真對待在2026年目標中解決可負擔性和經濟焦慮問題的話。 3個重要教訓 當我們展望今年的經濟政策時,有去年的三個重要教訓。 首先,稅收立法的真正價值不在於你的退稅。因為政策制定者對2025年生效的個人所得稅進行了調整,今年的退稅額將更大。這包括最高子女稅收抵免增加200美元、標準扣除額增加以及州和地方稅項的分項扣除額增加。另外四項變化是為一些老年人、小費工和加班工人以及有汽車貸款的個人減稅的政策。 Tax Foundation 預計這些政策將發揮作用。 隨著這些新政策持續到2026年,許多中等收入家庭將受益,而整體稅負仍將向高收入人群傾斜。2026年,我們預計71%的稅收將由收入最高的20%的人支付。 來源:Tax Foundation 一般均衡模型,2025年7月。 雖然退稅額將更大,但稅改的主要好處來自於從長遠來看改善工作和投資激勵的政策。這些政策為經濟騰出更多空間,比短期提高退稅額有效得多。 其次,去年立法中最有價值的部分是更好的商業投資激勵。企業制定長期投資計劃,去年議員們進行了永久性修訂以幫助他們做到這一點。通過允許設備和研發的全額扣除,國會促進了創新、招聘和投資。 由於去年的稅收政策,經濟從長遠來看可能會實現增長。這樣的增長可能意味著更高的工資、更好的工作和有意義的創新。 不幸的是,這些積極因素正與貿易戰的挑戰正面衝突。 這帶我們到2025年的第二個教訓:特朗普總統的貿易戰對工人或錢包沒有幫助。自宣誓就職以來,總統以各種方式多次改變關稅政策。他取得了什麼成就?對美國人購買的有價值進口商品的加徵關稅和提高關稅。這兩者都不標誌著成功的政策。 所籌集的收入,主要來自美國消費者。當政策制定者應該關注增長時,這是一個沉重的代價。 法院的裁定可能會讓白宮重新關注與(而不是對抗)我們的貿易夥伴合作的必要性,但看來總統今年在貿易政策上更有可能繼續不可預測。 但無論關稅政策走向何處,2025年的第三個要點是,從此以後事情只會變得更困難。 使你能夠獲得退稅的稅收方案將在2034年底到期。支出繼續超過收入,議員們必須開始制定改革以減少年度赤字。如果沒有改革,社會保障和醫療保險等福利計劃在未來七年內就會面臨危機。 所以,雖然去年減稅的新年決心在某種程度上取得了成效,但這也使得議員們在2026年及以後必須開展的工作更加困難。有一些稅改可以有所幫助,但我們已經多次看到華盛頓的議員花費新收入的速度比收入增加的速度還快。2025年的經濟政策有著歷史性的高點,但也有令人失望的低點。議員們應該圍繞解決我們的財政困境達到平衡來制定他們的新年決心。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。

為何AI熱潮正迫使我們重新思考職涯成功

(SeaPRwire) -   在世界經濟論壇(World Economic Forum)於達沃斯舉行的會議上,執行長 Jensen Huang 提出了一個簡單但引人深思的觀點。他說人工智慧更可能增加對「新藍領」工作的需求。這個想法本身並不新穎。有趣之處在於它如何直接挑戰人們對職業晉升的傳統看法。 從歷史上看,通往高階領導職位的典型路徑是從接近實務的工作開始,通常是親自動手的職位。晉升通常意味著轉入辦公室工作、會議、電子表格和管理階層。你越接近頂端,就離維持企業運轉的實際體力工作越遠。 早期關於人工智慧的討論也遵循了類似的腳本。大多數注意力都集中在辦公室工作、知識工作和案頭任務上。與此同時,那些管理工廠、倉庫、電力系統和資料中心的人卻很少成為討論的一部分,儘管這些系統仍然至關重要。 這就是「新藍領」概念出現的地方。這個術語描述了結合親自動手工作與數位和人工智慧工具的職位。這些包括維持資料中心運作的技術人員、操作先進製造設備的工人,以及管理人工智慧所依賴的能源和基礎設施系統的團隊。這些角色位於軟體與現實世界交會之處。它們難以自動化,替換成本高昂,並且在出現問題時至關重要。 目前尚不清楚這種轉變將持續多久。機器人和自動化最終可能承擔更多體力任務,圍繞基礎設施專案的招聘熱潮也可能放緩。但即使這種變化是暫時的,它仍然會影響誰能脫穎而出。當公司更關心誰能維持複雜系統的運作時,他們往往會提拔和信任不同類型的人。 這並不意味著未來的執行長將完全來自技術勞工領域。但它確實意味著,了解事物實際如何運作可能比過去更重要。那些了解電力如何輸送、設備如何故障、安全問題如何產生,以及什麼原因導致系統在壓力下崩潰的領導者,通常更善於判斷一個企業能否在沒有約束性問題的情況下擴張。 對於思考自己職業生涯的人來說,重點不是要換工作,而是要關注影響力正在哪裡形成。如果 Huang 的預測被證明是正確的,成功可能更少取決於抽象的想法,而更多取決於誰知道如何在現實世界中讓事情順利運作。 Ruth Umoh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。

Focus Graphite Announces Allowance of Canadian Patent for Silicon-Enhanced Graphite Anode Materials

Patent Allowance Strengthens Intellectual Property Position in Advanced Battery and Dual-Use Energy Storage MaterialsOttawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - January 26, 2026) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office ("CIPO") has allowed the Company's Canadian patent application No. 3,209,696, entitled "Advanced Anode Materials Comprising Spheroidal Additive-Enhanced Graphite Particles and Process for Making Same" (the "Patent"). The allowance confirms that the Canadian Intellectual Property Office has completed its substantive examination and determined that the Patent claims meet all Canadian requirements for patentability, including novelty and inventiveness. Subject to the completion of final administrative steps, the Patent is expected to proceed to formal grant. The allowed Patent covers proprietary processes and compositions for silicon-enhanced, spheroidal graphite particles, designed to improve performance characteristics critical to lithium-ion battery anodes, including energy density, charge efficiency, and cycling stability, by incorporating silicon within the graphite particle architecture while leveraging graphite's structural stability and conductivity. Silicon is widely recognized as a key material in next-generation battery anodes due to its significantly higher theoretical energy storage capacity relative to conventional graphite.By distributing silicon within the graphite structure, the technology is intended to address two fundamental challenges associated with silicon-enhanced anodes: charge-induced volume expansion and solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) instability. Embedding silicon within a graphite matrix is expected to help buffer volumetric expansion during cycling, supporting improved mechanical integrity, while the surrounding graphite structure may reduce direct silicon-electrolyte interactions, contributing to enhanced cycling stability and battery longevity.In addition to commercial battery markets, the Company believes these performance attributes are relevant to a range of dual-use applications, including defence, aerospace, and other mission-critical systems, where energy density, durability, and operational reliability are essential. Advanced anode materials capable of maintaining stable performance under demanding operating conditions are increasingly viewed as strategically important across both civilian electrification and national security-related energy storage applications.Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite, commented, "The allowance of this Patent represents the culmination of years of focused research and development. The underlying technology was shaped under the guidance of Dr. Joseph Doninger, whose deep technical insight and commitment to innovation were instrumental to its success, and we are grateful for the work he contributed. With the Patent now allowed, we are well positioned to move forward with broader testing and advancement of this technology as part of our downstream strategy."The allowance of this patent also aligns with growing North American and allied-nation priorities to establish secure, non-adversarial sources of battery materials, as governments and industry increasingly recognize the strategic risks associated with reliance on foreign-controlled supply chains. Graphite represents the largest material component of a lithium-ion battery by weight, and intellectual property protecting advanced anode materials is expected to play an important role in supporting domestic manufacturing, energy security, and defence-aligned and dual-use supply chains serving both civilian and national security priorities.Focus Graphite continues to advance its graphite assets and technology initiatives as part of its broader strategy to support North American battery, energy storage, electrification, and advanced industrial markets, while building a differentiated portfolio that spans resource development and value-added downstream innovation.Further updates will be provided as the Patent progresses to formal issuance and as the Company advances related technical and commercial initiatives.In Memoriam - Dr. Joseph. E. DoningerThe Company also notes with deep respect the recent passing of Dr. Joseph E. Doninger, who was one of the inventors of the allowed patent and a key contributor to the development of the underlying technology. Dr. Doninger served as Vice President of Manufacturing and Technology at Focus and played an instrumental role in shaping the Company's downstream and advanced materials strategy.Dr. Doninger earned his B.A. from the University of Illinois and completed his Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Northwestern University, beginning a distinguished career in industrial and applied materials science. He spent many years at IMC before serving as Senior Vice President of Research and Development at Superior Graphite, where he became widely recognized as a leading expert in the use of graphite for battery and advanced material applications. Over the course of his career, Dr. Doninger authored technical publications, held patents related to carbon-based materials, and addressed legislative and industry forums on energy and materials innovation.Later in his career, Dr. Doninger founded Dontech Global, continuing to advise companies and advance materials technologies until the time of his passing.

FDA Accepts LEQEMBI(R) IQLIK(TM) (lecanemab-irmb) Supplemental Biologics License Application as a Subcutaneous Starting Dose for the Treatment of Early Alzheimer’s Disease under Priority Review

TOKYO and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan 26, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Eisai Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Tokyo, CEO: Haruo Naito, “Eisai”) and Biogen Inc. (Nasdaq: BIIB, Corporate headquarters: Cambridge, Massachusetts, CEO: Christopher A. Viehbacher, “Biogen”) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted for review Eisai’s Supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for lecanemab-irmb (U.S. brand name: LEQEMBI®) subcutaneous autoinjector (SC-AI), LEQEMBI IQLIK, as a weekly starting dose. LEQEMBI is indicated for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or mild dementia stage of disease (collectively referred to as early AD). The sBLA has been granted Priority Review, with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) action date of May 24, 2026.Should the FDA approve the LEQEMBI IQLIK 500 mg SC dosing regimen (two 250 mg injections), the autoinjector could be used to administer a once-weekly starting dose, as an alternative to the current bi-weekly intravenous (IV) dosing. This would enable patients and care partners to choose SC administration at home for both treatment initiation and the currently approved maintenance therapy (360 mg), offering the option of SC or IV administration throughout the entire treatment journey. The injection time for LEQEMBI IQLIK autoinjector takes approximately 15 seconds per each 250 mg injection. The SC formulation also has the potential to reduce healthcare resources associated with IV dosing, such as infusion preparation and nurse monitoring, while streamlining the overall AD treatment pathway.The sBLA is supported by data evaluating SC administration of lecanemab across a range of doses and as part of sub-studies within the Phase 3 Clarity AD open-label extension (OLE) following the 18- month core study in individuals with early AD. Data show that once-weekly administration of the 500 mg of SC-AI achieved equivalent exposure to once every two weeks IV administration and similar clinical and biomarker benefits. SC administration demonstrated a safety profile similar to IV administration, with less than 2% incidence of systemic injection or infusion-related reactions.AD is a progressive, relentless disease, with amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau as hallmarks, that is caused by a continuous underlying neurotoxic process driven by protofibrils* (PF) that begins before amyloid plaque removal and continues afterward. 1,2,3 Only LEQEMBI fights AD in two ways – targeting both PF and amyloid plaque, which can impact tau downstream.LEQEMBI is currently approved in 53 countries and regions and is under regulatory review in 7 countries. In August 2025, the US FDA approved LEQEMBI IQLIK 360 mg for weekly subcutaneous maintenance dosing after 18 months of IV treatment every two weeks.Eisai serves as the lead for lecanemab’s development and regulatory submissions globally, with Eisai and Biogen co-commercializing and co-promoting the product and Eisai having final decision-making authority.*Protofibrils are thought to be the most toxic Aβ species that contribute to brain damage in AD and play a major role in the cognitive decline of this progressive and devastating disease. Protofibrils can cause neuronal and synaptic damage in the brain, which can subsequently adversely affect cognitive function through multiple mechanisms. 1 The mechanism by which this occurs as been reported not only by increasing the formation of insoluble Aβ plaques, but also by directly damaging signaling between neurons and other cells. It is believed that reducing protofibrils may reduce neuronal damage and cognitive impairment, potentially preventing the progression of AD.2For more details, please visit: https://www.eisai.com/news/2026/pdf/enews202605pdf.pdf Copyright 2026 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Following the confirmed effectiveness of the service, Mizuho has now expanded its use to include human capital information collection and aggregation.In Japan, the disclosure of human capital information in annual securities reports became mandatory for approximately 4,000 companies in March 2023. Previously, Mizuho's group companies collected and aggregated human capital data manually using different processes, leading to challenges such as inconsistencies in information levels and increased workload. By introducing this service, Fujitsu will support Mizuho's human resources department in standardizing and streamlining data collection processes and definitions across its global operations, including Mizuho’s five core group companies, offices outside Japan, and other consolidated subsidiaries.As part of its Uvance business model, which addresses societal challenges, Fujitsu will continue to advance long-term corporate value enhancement through data-driven strategy formulation and ESG initiatives, including information disclosure to society.Figure: Operational image for Mizuho's human capital disclosure About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
