Il a également contribué à de nombreux projets importants dans le monde, notamment un système d’autobus intelligent à Addis-Abeba, la capitale de l’Éthiopie, et un projet pilote de construction de transport intelligent à Doha.

Fort des décennies d’expertise d’Hisense dans les domaines du traitement d’images, du traitement de l’information et de la technologie d’interaction, Hisense Medical a développé avec succès certains produits essentiels tels que l’échographe Hisense HD60 à haute résolution de pointe. Hisense a obtenu une licence de l’Autorité sud-africaine de réglementation des produits de santé (SAHPRA) pour l’appareil en janvier 2022.

L’investissement continu d’Hisense dans l’innovation et les décennies d’expertise accumulées dans la fabrication d’appareils électroménagers et d’électronique grand public lui ont permis de devenir non seulement une marque B2C, mais aussi une entreprise mondiale qui peut fournir des solutions compressives à des partenaires commerciaux du monde entier dans plus de secteurs. Considérant le segment B2B comme déterminant pour le développement de l’entreprise, Hisense est impatient de nouer des partenariats stratégiques avec davantage de partenaires commerciaux en Afrique du Sud et au-delà.

Tusk Innovation annonce de nouveaux produits « Combo »

TUSK PRODUCT

TUSK PRODUCT ZEN

LONDRES, 24 nov. 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Tusk Inc. Limited (www.tusklimited.com), fondée en 2012 au Royaume-Uni et à Kuala Lumpur, se spécialise dans un premier temps dans la gestion de capital. La société, qui possède des bureaux dans le monde entier, est désormais une cheffe de file des solutions électriques destinées aux utilisateurs d’équipement de minage, de l’énergie solaire et des adaptateurs. Elle annonce aujourd’hui l’arrivée de nouveaux produits « Combo ». Cette gamme de produits est principalement dédiée aux applications électriques. Pour tout mineur acheté, celui-ci est livré avec un panneau solaire, en vue de réduire la consommation d’énergie. Consulter les produits ici https://tusklimited.com/products

En sa qualité de cheffe de file des solutions électriques, Tusk Innovation a annoncé des remises de 30 % sur son combo d’équipement de minage, qui combine un panneau solaire à un mineur de bitcoins. Après avoir récemment abandonné les outils polycristallins au profit des matériaux photovoltaïques, Tusk Inc. a testé au fil du temps l’efficacité d’une combinaison de ses produits solaires avec des solutions de minage de cryptomonnaies et constaté qu’il s’agissait de la solution la plus efficace. Les investisseurs de Tusk Inc. peuvent désormais facilement miner leurs bitcoins sans interruption, en profitant de risques réduits et de profits optimaux.

Cette stratégie vise à réduire la quantité d’électricité consommée par les clients lorsqu’ils minent des cryptomonnaies. Elle a été dévoilée la semaine dernière par le Responsable des opérations, John Walls. Selon M. Walls, « Les rapports indiquent de façon incontestable que la quantité d’électricité dont les mineurs ont besoin peut s’avérer trop conséquente. Dès lors, nous avons mis au point une alternative pertinente. »

Les profits du minage
Même s’il est louable et hautement rentable pour de nombreuses personnes de mettre au point des fermes de minage de cryptomonnaies, la spéculation est omniprésente et peut entraîner des coûts significatifs, notamment en termes de consommation électrique. En vous proposant un panneau solaire qui n’a aucun impact sur vos factures d’électricité, couplé à un appareil capable d’exécuter des tâches de double minage, Tusk Inc. a mis au point une solution durable. Il vous suffit de miner vos bitcoins, sans vous soucier de la volatilité du marché, tout en ignorant les problématiques de consommation d’énergie.

Tusk Inc. s’est distinguée en permettant à ses client d’acquérir des services de développement de portefeuille de cryptomonnaies et des processeurs graphiques auprès de la société qui possède des bureaux sur trois continents. Elle jouit également d’une riche expérience dans le développement de la Blockchain et des solutions de minage de bitcoins, ainsi que dans d’autres domaines.

À propos de Tusk
Fondée en 2012 par une équipe constituée d’experts de la gestion, rejointe par la suite par des experts de la technologie, Tusk Inc. est désormais une cheffe de file des solutions électriques. La société peut également se prévaloir d’une capacité à gérer efficacement les risques, puisqu’elle intervient dans ce domaine depuis plus de dix ans. Au travers de différentes innovations technologiques, la société a intégré des projets moins risqués au système de gestion des risques, dont notamment le minage de cryptomonnaies, en recourant à des matériaux photovoltaïques.

A Tusk Innovation anuncia uma “combinação” de novos produtos

TUSK PRODUCT

TUSK PRODUCT ZEN

LONDRES, Nov. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A Tusk Inc. Limited (www.tusklimited.com), uma empresa constituída em 2012 como empresa de gestão de capitais no Reino Unido e Kuala Lumpur com escritórios em todo o mundo, e é atualmente uma das empresas líderes em soluções elétricas centradas na produção para utilizadores de equipamento mineiro, energia solar e adaptadores, está a anunciar um conjunto de novos produtos. A linha de Produtos destina-se, principalmente, a fins elétricos. Qualquer minerador comprado é entregue com um painel solar, para reduzir o consumo de energia. Veja os produtos aqui https://tusklimited.com/products

Como uma das principais empresas de soluções elétricas, a Tusk Innovation anunciou 30% de desconto na sua combinação de equipamentos de mineração, que combina um painel solar com um minerador de bitcoins. Com a sua mudança recente de materiais policristalinos para fotovoltaicos, a Tusk Inc. testou, ao longo do tempo, a eficiência de combinar os seus produtos solares com mineradores de criptomoedas, e isso provou ser o mais eficaz. Os investidores da Tusk inc. podem agora, com facilidade, minerar as suas moedas sem interrupções, com menos riscos e lucro máximo.

Este é um esforço para reduzir a quantidade de eletricidade usada quando os clientes mineram criptomoedas e foi divulgado pelo COO, John Walls, na semana passada. De acordo com Walls, “os relatórios que circulam tornaram evidente que a quantidade de energia que os mineradores precisam pode ser demasiado exigente e, portanto, conseguimos uma opção plausível.”

Lucros da Mineração
Embora seja admirável e altamente rentável para muitas pessoas a criação de explorações mineiras de moeda criptográfica, existem especulações de que estas podem incorrer em custos significativos, particularmente em termos de utilização de eletricidade. Ao fornecer um Painel Solar, que não está ligado às suas contas de eletricidade e um dispositivo de mineração de bitcoins que pode executar tarefas de mineração duplas, a Tusk Inc. criou uma solução de longa duração. Pode simplesmente minerar as suas moedas sem se preocupar com a volatilidade do mercado, ignorando também o consumo de energia.

A Tusk Inc. destacou-se das outras empresas porque os clientes podem obter serviços de desenvolvimento de carteira criptográfica, bem como unidades de processamento gráfico da empresa, que dispõe de escritórios em três continentes. Tem também uma vasta experiência no desenvolvimento de Blockchain e soluções de mineração de bitcoins, entre outras áreas.

Sobre a Tusk
Fundada em 2012 por uma equipa de especialistas em gestão e a que mais tarde juntou uma equipa de especialistas em tecnologia, a Tusk Inc. é agora um dos principais fornecedores de soluções elétricas. Orgulha-se da sua capacidade de gerir riscos de forma eficaz, uma vez que está no negócio da gestão de riscos há mais de uma década. Através de vários avanços na tecnologia, incorporou empreendimentos menos arriscados no sistema de Gestão de Riscos, um dos quais é a mineração de criptomoedas, usando materiais fotovoltaicos.

To secure top education institutions for their children is a key motivation for African investors – now considering the citizenship by investment programme of Saint Lucia

Castries, Nov. 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In recent years higher education has become a global commodity traded across countries and cultures. Students are now travelling more frequently across borders in search of opportunities to study outside their countries of origin. This is especially true for Africa as more and more African families are exploring opportunities to have their children educated at international tertiary institutions.

These families are looking to access premium international education opportunities for their children through investment migration. The surge in demand and competition for places at leading universities post-Covid is increasing interest in investment programmes that come with better global mobility opportunities and access to leading educational institutions.

Saint Lucia offers one of the leading citizenship by investment programmes in the world and African investors are increasingly looking to this Caribbean nation as it provides a hassle-free route to second citizenship.

Africans looking to study abroad are compelled to do so as they are aware that there are limited opportunities for growth in their home countries.

While Africa is home to some leading and globally competitive tertiary institutions – these universities often do not have the capacity to accommodate all of a certain country’s tertiary students.

For example, South Africa only has 26 universities.  Canada on the other hand has more than 1500 types of universities and colleges that offer over 10 000 programmes for students to choose from. The country also offers a wide variety of vocational training schools that are closely aligned with industry. Information Technology, Finance and Engineering are among those that are the most in demand in the country

The United States has some 5300 universities and colleges in comparison. World Population Review’s Most Educated Countries 2022 shows that the USA sits comfortably in the top 10 most educated countries. Its top private schools and Ivy League universities are extremely competitive, now seeing an increase of around 7% in applications since pre-Covid times. For example, Harvard’s 2022 acceptance rate is only 4.6%, which translates to 42,749 applicants, of which only 1,962 students were accepted.

Saint Lucia is also home to top universities including the American International Medical University, Sir Arthur Lewis Community College, International American University College of Medicine and the Spartan Health Sciences University.

Saint Lucia offers families a simple path to access the ‘best of the best’ global education facilities

One of the many advantages of Saint Lucia’s citizenship by investment is its ability to offer enhanced access to premium education. Providing our children with the opportunity to attend the ‘best of the best’ international universities is one of the most valuable investments any parent can make.

We are all experiencing increasingly volatile times and ensuring the best possible education for their children has become a key motivation for intelligent investors around the world, especially in Africa.

The Caribbean nation is located quite close to the United States – an average nonstop flight from the United States to Saint Lucia takes about eight hours. The most popular route is New York to the country’s capital Castries, with an average flight time of just over four hours.

Launched in 2016, St Lucia has the newest citizenship by investment programme in the Caribbean. Inheriting decades of experience from its island neighbours, Saint Lucia’s programme is an amalgamation of practices from its surrounding islands and provides a wide range of benefits for investors.

Not only can African families access quality education institutions through better global mobility, but they can also have citizenship for life with the right to live and work in the country if they choose to.

Investment options a straightforward – a minimum investment of US$100 000.00 to the National Economic Fund (NEF), which was established to receive qualifying investments to fund government-sponsored projects on the island, enables applicants to become citizens of the nation.

Applicants can also obtain citizenship by purchasing a government-approved property valued at a minimum of US$300,000. Property must be owned and maintained for a minimum of five years after citizenship has been granted.

With a straightforward seven-step application process and no residency requirement, a Saint Lucia investment is a great way for intelligent investor to open themselves up to the global playing field and give their children a competitive edge by creating a pathway to some of the best educational facilities around the world.

Saint Lucia’s programme is also highly rated on the global stage – having been recognised as one of the best CBI offerings compared with Antigua and Barbuda, Austria, Cambodia, Dominica, Egypt, Grenada, Jordan, Malta, Montenegro, St Kitts and Nevis, Turkey, and Vanuatu.

This is according to the annual CBI Index – an in-depth report examining and evaluating citizenship by investment schemes around the world.

The country scored 87% overall. Saint Lucia continues to offer a popular programme with stability,  no caps on the number of applications or specific calls to end the programme, and adaptability both in respect of changes to keep the programme functioning during Covid-19.

With a population of over 184 000, Saint Lucia is the region’s most populous CBI nation with very well-developed hospitality and financial sectors.

Investors can attain citizenship in less than six months if the application process goes smoothly and they pass all due diligence checks. These ensure that only reputable investors of good-standing are allowed to become citizens.

Eco-warrior Paul Watson, Scourge of Whalers, Returns to the Seas

Canadian-American eco-warrior Paul Watson, ousted from the Sea Shepherd conservationist organization he founded, says he is back in business with a new ship and crew and is ready to resume tormenting the world’s whalers and others he sees as despoilers of the world’s oceans.
“After being knocked down, we have fully recovered and we’re ready to return to battle on the high seas,” Watson declared in a digital announcement earlier this month. “The new Captain Paul Watson Foundation is here and it’s ready to aggressively take on all enemies that look to do harm to our ocean and our planet.”
Watson is among the most controversial figures in the environmental movement, in and out of legal trouble on several continents over aggressive tactics, which have included ramming and sinking or fouling the propellers of whaling vessels. Some of his exploits have been portrayed in the reality TV series Whale Wars, shown on Animal Planet.
His advocacy of “direct action” led to him being ousted in 1977 from the board of Greenpeace, where he was an early member, and his founding of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society where he gained notoriety as a scourge of Norwegian, Japanese and Icelandic whalers, who operate despite global ban on whaling under an exception allowing for research.
Among his most dramatic actions was the sinking of two whaling vessels in a harbor in Iceland by his society members – an action for which Watson claimed personal responsibility. Over his career, such tactics led to legal action in Canada, the United States, Costa Rica, Norway and Japan, although he has never been convicted of a major crime.
Nevertheless, it all became too much for his fellow board members at Sea Shepherd, who removed him from the board and limited his activities, leading him to cut all ties with the group in July.
“I was marginalized and told to be a paid and quiet figurehead as they changed the direction of the organization away from confrontational and controversial campaigns,” Watson told VOA in a telephone interview and follow-up emails.
“I said I could not participate or support this change. Sea Shepherd should not be Oceana or Greenpeace. Our approach should always be aggressive, direct action.”
To that end, he has established the Captain Paul Watson Foundation and, he said, “We’re going to rebuild our navy. I call it Neptune’s Navy.”
Watson said he recently completed the purchase in Britain of a new ship, to be named the John Paul DeJoria, and, so far, has taken on seven crew members, mostly engineers. “I am also looking for two additional ships” he said, and he has “a few dozen” applicants to sail with him, mainly former Sea Shepherd officers and crew.
Asked whether he expects to resume his pursuit of whaling ships, which according to the NGO Whale and Dolphin Conservation, have killed nearly 40,000 large whales since commercial whaling was banned in 1986, he replied, “Always. It has been my lifetime ambition to eradicate whaling.”
Nor does he plan to tone down the tactics that have outraged his critics in the past.
“Why would I consider doing that? I established the approach of aggressive non-violence and that continues to be my primary strategy because it is effective. I have not changed my approach for over half a century,” he told VOA.
As for ramming whaling ships, “That depends on the situation, i.e. legal status, location and logistics. I have not rammed a ship since 2013 but it’s always a possibility.”
But, he maintained, “We’re not going to injure anyone. I’ve never injured anyone in my entire career.”
That fact has done little to assuage Watson’s critics, including the Japanese government, which once labeled the Sea Shepherd society an “eco-terrorist” organization.
“A U.S. court declared Sea Shepherds to be ‘pirates’ after considering their history of ramming ships, hurling containers of acid, and other aggression,” noted Rick Berman, executive director of the U.S.-based Center for Organizational Research and Education, which casts a skeptical eye on some environmental and animal rights groups.
“When you hear Paul Watson claim he has a good cause, just remember ISIS says the same thing,” Berman told VOA in an email exchange.
On the other side of the ledger, Watson has been presented in Paris with a Jules Verne Award for his role as a protector of the environment and was named by Time magazine among the Top 20 environmental heroes of the 20th century.
The activist credits public support for his cause for his ability to avoid having ever been convicted of a felony in any country.
Years after his organization scuttled the two Icelandic whaling vessels in 1986, he flew to Iceland and asked to be booked for the crime. “They put me on a plane,” he said. “Iceland knew to put me on trial would be to put themselves on trial for their illegal activities.”
But, he said, he understands why many other conservationists want to keep him at arm’s length.
“We fill a specific niche within the marine conservation movement,” he emailed. “We are not for everyone. … Although many quietly agree and support what we do, they are hesitant to be seen with us in the light of day.”

Wildlife Summit to Vote on Shark Protections

Delegates at a global summit on trade in endangered species were scheduled to decide Thursday whether to approve a proposal to protect sharks, a move that could drastically reduce the lucrative and often cruel shark fin trade.
The proposal would place dozens of species of the requiem shark and the hammerhead shark families on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
The appendix lists species that may not yet be threatened with extinction but may become so unless trade in them is closely controlled.
If Thursday’s plenary meeting gives the green light, “it would be a historic decision,” Panamanian delegate Shirley Binder told AFP.
“For the first time, CITES would be handling a very large number of shark species, which would be approximately 90% of the market,” she said.
Spurring the trade is the insatiable Asian appetite for shark fins, which make their way onto dinner tables in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
Despite being described as gelatinous and almost tasteless, shark fin soup is viewed as a delicacy and is enjoyed by the very wealthy, often at weddings and expensive banquets.
Shark fins, representing a market of about $500 million per year, can sell for about $1,000 a kilogram.
From villain to conservation darling
Sharks have long been seen as the villain of the seas they have occupied for more than 400 million years, terrifying people with their depiction in films such as “Jaws” and their occasional attacks on humans.
However, these ancient predators have undergone an image makeover in recent years as conservationists have highlighted the crucial role they play in regulating the ocean ecosystem.
According to the Pew Environment Group, between 63 million and 273 million sharks are killed every year, mainly for their fins and other parts.
With many shark species taking more than 10 years to reach sexual maturity, and having a low fertility rate, the constant hunting of the species has decimated their numbers.
In many parts of the world, fisherman lop the sharks’ fins off at sea, tossing the shark back into the ocean for a cruel death by suffocation or blood loss.
The efforts by conservationists led to a turning point in 2013, when CITES imposed the first trade restrictions on some shark species.
“We are in the middle of a very large shark extinction crisis,” Luke Warwick, director of shark protection for the nongovernmental organization Wildlife Conservation Society, told AFP at the beginning of the summit.
Heated debate
Thursday’s vote followed a fierce debate that lasted nearly three hours, with Japan and Peru seeking to reduce the number of shark species that would be protected.
Japan had proposed that the trade restriction be reduced to 19 species of requiem sharks, and Peru called for the blue shark to be removed from the list.
Both suggestions were rejected, however.
“We hope that nothing extraordinary happens and that these entire families of sharks are ratified for inclusion in Annex II,” Chilean delegate Ricardo Saez told AFP.
Several delegations, including host Panama, displayed stuffed toy sharks on their tables during the earlier Committee I debate.
The plenary was also scheduled to vote on ratifying a proposal to protect guitarfish, a species of ray.
The shark initiative was one of the most discussed at this year’s CITES summit in Panama, with the proposal co-sponsored by the European Union and 15 countries.
Participants at the summit considered 52 proposals to change species protection levels.
CITES, which came into force in 1975, has set international trade rules for more than 36,000 wild species. Its signatories include 183 countries and the European Union.
