这是Proxima第二部将在娱乐证券交易所（ESX.io）上市的电影，粉丝将可以购买到这部
自《第六感》上映以来又一次带来类似震撼感的电影

洛杉矶, April 28 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —《Home School》是特许经营八部系列超自然惊悚片中的第一部，由两届儿童选择奖得主查理·达梅里奥担纲主演；该电影将由EGOT提名人（艾美奖、格莱美奖、奥斯卡奖和托尼奖）瑞恩·卡瓦劳格担任制片人，并由F·贾维尔·古铁雷斯（F. Javier Gutierrez）执导。

卡瓦劳格已为全球观众带来了200多部故事片和40部电视剧，这将是第二部在娱乐证券交易所esx.io上市的电影。

屡获殊荣的幻想恐怖片（《Before the Fall》、《午夜凶铃》系列片）导演F·贾维尔·古铁雷斯已决定执导这部电影。《Home School》是第一个在TikTok平台上拥有1亿粉丝的TikTok博主达梅里奥的真人电影处女作。该电影将于2022年7月开始拍摄。

查理于2019年在TikTok上发布舞蹈视频后走红全球。自从在该应用上大获成功后，查理将其成功应用于其他项目。她曾在2020年超级杯Sabra Hummus广告中出镜，并在詹妮弗·洛佩兹（Jennifer Lopez）的音乐视频中翩翩起舞。去年9月，Hulu推出了由查理和她的家人主演的纪录片《达梅里奥秀》（D’Amelio Show），第二季已获续订。查理联合创立了自己的服装品牌Social Tourist，并与包括路易威登和普拉达在内的主流时尚品牌合作。查理还是《时代》杂志“下一代”榜单中最年轻的明星。

在《Home School》中，查理将扮演17岁的“Mira”，她在母亲去世后搬到了另一个城镇，和姑姑住在一起。在抵达这个看起来太过完美的小镇后，Mira很快发现她母亲的死和她自己的未来以超自然的方式交织在一起。

查理表示：“我在读到《Home School》时就知道它是为我准备的。我与Mira这一角色、故事、剧本和团队心有灵犀。我知道，如果我要拍电影，就必须要做到有趣、前卫和新颖。虽然这个角色肯定会有挑战，我需要学习表演并成为Mira，但这是一个有趣的旅程，制作和观看都很有趣。我还希望确保自己身边有一支优秀的团队。”

导演F·贾维尔·古铁雷斯解释说：“我和瑞恩在和Luke Evans一起翻拍《乌鸦》时，就知道我们希望进一步培养一种创造性的合作关系。我很高兴能够执导《Home School》，这将是我们合作完成的第一个官方项目。” 凭借引人注目的视觉效果和强烈的心理元素，我相信《Home School》有潜力成为现代经典。我很期待与查理和Proxima团队展开工作。”

古铁雷斯获得最佳欧洲奇幻电影奖两届提名，他因恐怖片《午夜凶铃3》而蜚声影坛，这是《午夜凶铃》系列片的第三部，获得美国票房第2名，并得到《午夜凶铃》小说作者铃木光司的赞扬。他的短片《Brasil》获得了最高荣誉和无数奖项，包括“环球影城电影大师奖”中的“最佳欧洲导演奖”。在AFI北美电影节首映后，这部电影引起了美国电影界的注意，荣登“Hollywood International Watchlist”第三。同年，《Before the Fall》获得已故传奇导演韦斯·克雷文（Wes Craven）的邀请进行翻拍。在职业生涯的早期，古铁雷斯确立了自己作为恐怖电影制片人的地位，他在2002年执导、编剧和制作的第一部短片《Brasil》也赢得了锡切斯电影节奖，这是世界上最重要的国际电影节之一，专注于幻想和恐怖片。

瑞恩·卡瓦劳格表示：“我们开发这个项目已有好几年了，想把一些新的、令人兴奋的东西搬上银幕。贾维尔的执导和查理的主演是一个完美的组合。我们将迎来《第六感》与《逃出绝命镇》的交融。”

《Home School》由明尼阿波利斯的Casey Giltner编剧，他的剧本《On the First Day of Christmas》名列“2021 BloodList”中，最近被Village Roadshow和Brillstein Entertainment Partners接受。Proxima制片高级副总裁Daniel Herther领导了《Home School》的开发，也将领导制片。卡瓦劳格的搭档Bobby Sarnevesht与Marc、Heidi和Dixie D’Amelio将担任执行制片人。

UTA的Steve Cohen和Morris的Kevin Yorn、Yorn、Barnes、Levine、Krintzman、Rubenstein、Kohner、Endlich & Gellman担任查理·达梅里奥的代表。Sacker Entertainment Law的Neil Sacker担任Proxima和卡瓦劳格的代表。UTA的Michael Sheresky和Anonymous Content的Nick Shumaker担任F·贾维尔·古铁雷斯的代表。Lichter Grossman Nichols Adler Feldman & Clark的Stephen Clark代表F·贾维尔·古铁雷斯就该项目进行了商谈。

IIJ STARTS ONLINE SALES CHANNEL FOR SAFOUS, ZERO-TRUST NETWORK ACCESS SERVICE TARGETING GLOBAL MARKET

TOKYO, Apr. 28, 2022 /Kyodo JBN-AsiaNet/ —

– Vulnerability Countermeasures Deployed in Minimum 30 Minutes –

Internet Initiative Japan Inc. (IIJ, TSE Prime: 3774), one of Japan’s leading Internet access and comprehensive network solutions providers, announced on April 28 the launch of an online sales channel for Safous, its zero-trust network access (ZTNA) (*) service released last year. Until now, IIJ only offered Safous through its group’s local offices (in the U.S., Mainland China, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Japan). However, the addition of an online sales channel allows customers to apply for services without being tied down by a country or region. Customers can now start using Safous, with a lead time that can be as short as 30 minutes, by simply selecting the required plan and options on the Safous website.

(*) ZTNA: A type of zero-trust solution that provides seamless and secure remote access to internal applications. Instead of authenticating at the boundaries of a corporate network, authentication is performed through a trusted broker system each time an application is accessed.

This service securely connects users to corporate information resources, such as business applications in the customer’s office or the cloud. Safous utilizes robust authentication and has authorization control from a user terminal or IoT device. IIJ has deployed access points (PoP: Point of Presence) for authorization to customers’ specified locations prior to the start of their service. This configuration will eliminate the need to allow users to access corporate networks from outside and mitigates the risk of attacks targeting corporate networks.

Background
There has been a large shift towards hybrid work and an increase in working from home in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift towards the ability to work from anywhere can be observed overseas and in Japan. The challenge that emerged with this shift is that companies need to create an environment where business resources can be securely utilized from various locations while maintaining the same convenience that existed before the pandemic. To respond to this need, IIJ released Safous last year. Additionally, security threats, such as cyberattacks aimed at companies’ supply chains, are continuing to increase. In particular, global companies that do not have strong security controls over their overseas locations are requesting immediate implementation of services that will enable employees to securely and seamlessly access internal resources from outside the company. For this reason, IIJ has added an online sales channel that allows customers to subscribe from any country or region, and to start using the service right away.

Characteristics of Safous’ online sales
The contract procedure can be completed online, and customers can instantly deploy security measures against cyber threats whenever needed. Simply select a plan on the dedicated website, register the users and groups, specify the business resources that customers want to allow access to, set the access policies, and customers can begin using Safous in as short as 30 minutes. There is no need to install any additional agents on the terminal, nor does Safous require a dedicated infrastructure. Safous is available from a minimum of 10 accounts. With its online sales channel, IIJ can now assist customers who want to try out security threat countermeasures by focusing on users and targeted operations.
For details of this service, refer to the following site:
https://www.safous.com/

Price: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/attach/202204150017-O3-2L1z62NO.pdf

Functions: https://kyodonewsprwire.jp/attach/202204150017-O2-B332hlrx.pdf

Safous’ Global Service Director, Miki Tanaka, said, “We are very pleased to be able to offer this service to our customers. We believe that the addition of Safous’ online sales channel as a ready-to-use ZTNA product has the potential to significantly lower the bar for ZTNA adaptation. With the current global situation, security threats are becoming more and more prevalent and more aggressive, and we believe that implementing ZTNA is the first step in protecting our own company. We will further expand the security functions of Safous so that many of our customers can smoothly balance the challenges of COVID-19, such as diversification of work styles and optimization of IT infrastructure, with the strengthening of security measures.”

IIJ will continue to actively expand the functions of this service and strengthen its sales system so that customers can balance the optimization of IT infrastructure in line with the diversification of working styles and the strengthening of security measures smoothly.

AM BEST AFFIRMS CREDIT RATINGS OF VIETNAM NATIONAL REINSURANCE CORPORATION

SINGAPORE, April 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of B++ (Good) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of “bbb+” (Good) of Vietnam National Reinsurance Corporation (VINARE) (Vietnam). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.

The ratings reflect VINARE’s balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM).

The company’s balance sheet strength reflects risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level at year end 2021, as measured by Best’s Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). This capital adequacy ratio is underpinned by the company’s low net underwriting leverage and retrocession counterparties of good credit quality, despite higher investment risk in 2021. VINARE’s regulatory solvency level, which continued to exceed the minimum requirement by a wide margin, increased notably during 2021 due to a considerable reduction in the company’s personal accident premiums. Offsetting factors to the company’s balance sheet strength remain, including exposure to catastrophe risk and VINARE’s high dividend payout ratio.

The company has demonstrated strong operating performance over the past five years, with an average combined ratio of 96.4% and an average return-on-equity ratio of 9.4% (2017-2021), as calculated by AM Best. Underwriting results from the company’s core lines of business remain satisfactory, although there has been unfavourable claims experience in marine hull business. In addition, amidst the low interest rate environment induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, increased investment allocation to bonds has helped the company to maintain its investment yield. Prospectively, AM Best expects VINARE to continue delivering strong operating performance, which could be supported by the company’s underwriting discipline and improved pricing conditions in several lines of business.

AM Best assesses the company’s business profile as neutral. The company has established long-standing relationships with local cedants and accumulated in-depth knowledge of its domestic insurance market for many years. Furthermore, VINARE continues to receive strong support from its key shareholders including State Capital Investment Corporation in terms of business strategy and corporate governance; and Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd (Swiss Re) in terms of underwriting and risk management expertise as well as product innovation. Although VINARE’s geographic spread is largely concentrated in its domestic market, the company has a well-diversified underwriting portfolio by line of business, and with a good balance between commercial and retail risks.

AM Best considers the company’s ERM to be appropriate given VINARE’s clear risk appetite, developed reporting system and prudent risk management approach. With technical support from Swiss Re, VINARE has been able to utilise an economic capital model to monitor and manage the company’s key risks properly.

Ratings are communicated to rated entities prior to publication. Unless stated otherwise, the ratings were not amended subsequent to that communication.

This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best’s website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best’s Recent Rating Activity web page. For additional information regarding the use and limitations of Credit Rating opinions, please view Guide to Best’s Credit Ratings. For information on the proper use of Best’s Credit Ratings, Best’s Preliminary Credit Assessments and AM Best press releases, please view Guide to Proper Use of Best’s Ratings & Assessments.

DUAL MINERS正在改变加密货币挖矿行业的游戏规则

芬兰赫尔辛基, April 25 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dual Miners最近获得了一项殊荣，成为首家引入大量吸热式加密货币采矿设备的公司。一支由众多投资者组成的团队致力于让加密货币挖矿变得简单且有利可图。其他人士则认为加密货币挖矿境况日趋艰难，但Dual Miners最近发布一项新公告，称该公司目前正在全球范围内发布世界上首款同时运用SHA-256和Scrypt技术进行采矿的双矿机硬件。

如需了解更多信息，请访问：https://dualminers.com/products/。此外，双矿机经配置可处理使用SHA-256或Scrypt哈希算法的其他加密货币交易。

由于采用创新型硬件设计，Dual Miner的采矿芯片FM9800-XD112能够在消耗最少能量的同时实现高哈希率。产品配有内置控制器并安装了相关软件。经过长期测试（包括评估、原型设计和极端条件压力测试），Dual Miner的DualPro和DualPro Max硬件产品以及DualPremium硬件产品现已准备就绪，可进行大规模生产。

采用Dual Miners的益处
使用Dual Miners增强节能系统相较于其他系统有哪些优势？该解决方案的发明人宣称，每台机器都将配备冷却系统、7纳米芯片、降噪机制、带有电源的可调节工作湿度控制器以及无线网络（Wi-Fi）或以太网接口。该系统所采用的算法囊括了全球知名的众多软硬件技术，故而用户可在短时间内挖掘比特币（BTC）、莱特币（LTC）、门罗币（XMR）、以太坊（ETH）和其他几种加密货币。

Dual Miner的团队由经验丰富的专业人士组成
Dual Miners是一家总部设立在英国伦敦的芯片设计与制造公司。公司拥有多个团队，团队成员在区块链技术和工艺设计领域造诣颇深。

该公司在三大洲设有办事处，为客户提供加密钱包开发服务以及图形处理单元。它在区块链开发和比特币挖矿解决方案等领域也拥有丰硕经验。

凭借其在区块链业务方面的丰富经验，Dual Miners已然成为该领域的知名品牌。正是由于其丰富的相关经验，该解决方案得到了Kraken、ASG Expertise和FIS International等公司的一致认可。Dual Miners再次充分运用其先前积累的知识，为加密货币消费者提供各种创新解决方案。

定价和可用性是重要的考量因素
Dual Miners将承担运输费用和海关费用，让消费者只需支付设备相关成本，即可获得开始运营所需的一切，而无需任何其他费用。 Dual Miners运营总监兼首席运营官Michael Scott表示：“消费者现在意识到我们的竞争对手已被逐个击败。他们无法获得我们的算力，也无法利用我们极低的电费优势。尽管我们的机器尺寸较小，但仍拥有巨大的挖矿能力；DualPremium的比特币和莱特币算力分别为60 TH/s和2.1 GH/s。这是现有市场上最好的投资项目。”

关于Dual Miners
Dual miners成立于2015年，是全球第一家双挖矿公司，旨在开发和销售全球首批运用SHA-256或Scrypt技术的领先型双加密货币矿机。从Dual Miners的DualPro开始，我们的目标就是以低于之前的成本提供更多算力。Dual Miners总部位于英国伦敦，在全球各地设有办事处。如需了解更多信息，请访问www.dualminers.com

DESKTOP METAL UNVEILS S-MAX® FLEX, MAKING SAND 3D PRINTING AFFORDABLE TO GLOBAL FOUNDRIES

KUALA LUMPUR, April 20 (Bernama) — Desktop Metal has announced the launch of the ExOne S-Max® Flex, a scalable, large-format binder jetting system that 3D prints sand tooling, which foundries use to quickly cast complex metal designs for the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries, among others.

“To achieve our vision of Additive Manufacturing 2.0, we need to make production 3D printing practical in terms of speed, cost, and material availability for a broad range of applications,” said Co-Founder and CEO of Desktop Metal, Ric Fulop in a statement.

“We designed the all-new S-Max Flex from the ground up leveraging SPJ technology with the idea of making premium sand 3D printing accessible to every foundry, so that more companies can take advantage of the benefits of AM 2.0, such as distributed, local production, and remain competitive for the long term.”

ExOne, which was acquired by Desktop Metal in late 2021, is the leading digital sand printing solution provider for foundries.

The new S-Max Flex combines ExOne’s sand printing expertise in process and materials with proprietary Desktop Metal SPJ technology in an affordable architecture to deliver new value to foundries that have long wanted an S-Max but found the premium price out of reach.

The S-Max Flex will debut at CastExpo 2022, North America’s largest metalcasting trade show, from April 23-26 in Columbus, Ohio.

Additional early buyers of the new S-Max Flex include Founders Service & Manufacturing Co Inc of Deerfield, Ohio, and HTCI Co. of New Carlisle, Ohio.

Desktop Metal’s high throughput SPJ technology delivers a build rate up to 115 l/h, which offers foundries quick and reliable production to operate more efficiently in times of ongoing labour shortages, as well as a faster return on investment.

The S-Max Flex joins the premium S-Max® and S-Max® Pro solutions that are used in foundries worldwide.

Based in Burlington, Massachusetts, Desktop Metal Inc is accelerating the transformation of manufacturing with an expansive portfolio of 3D printing solutions, from rapid prototyping to mass production.

MONETAGO HIRES IAN MILNE TO HEAD UP ASIA PACIFIC SALES

SINGAPORE & NEW YORK, April 20 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Financial technology solutions provider MonetaGo has appointed Ian Milne to the newly created role of head of sales, Asia Pacific, effective immediately.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220418005423/en/

Milne brings to MonetaGo over three decades of banking experience, having held senior roles at global banks including Fortis, Standard Chartered, HSBC and most recently Rabobank.

Over the course of his career, Milne successfully led the delivery of a robust operational infrastructure, establishing procedures and frameworks to provide sanctions, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorist financing compliance on all commodities and structured trade finance facilities, along with operational risk controls in accordance with regulatory standards.

Based in Singapore, Milne will lead MonetaGo’s engagement with trade financiers across the Asia Pacific region to drive adoption of the Secure Financing platform.

“The entry into force of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has opened up new opportunities for trade across the region, but this growth risks being held back by the trade finance gap, which disproportionately impacts developing Asia,” says Jesse Chenard, CEO and founder of MonetaGo. “Having Ian on board will take MonetaGo closer to its goal of providing the Secure Financing system to all trade financiers, enabling more trade finance to get to where it’s so desperately needed.”

“Throughout the course of my 32-year career, I’ve had a front-row seat to some of the major fraud defaults that have rocked trade and commodity finance, all of which brought into sharp focus the need for a solid understanding of the industry,” says Ian Milne, head of sales, Asia Pacific, at MonetaGo. “MonetaGo’s Secure Financing system provides a compliant means by which banks can share information on potential risks, solving for the problem of duplicate financing in trade once and for all.”

About MonetaGo

MonetaGo provides the first-ever global solution to duplicate financing fraud in trade finance, and is the world’s foremost provider of such technology to prevent both domestic and cross-border duplicate financing.

MonetaGo’s Secure Financing system is proven in production, having been live since March 2018 with substantial transaction throughput.
