–Company Captures Images of “Diana of Versailles,” Last Seen in 1986, and Discovers Significant Decay at the Ship’s Bow, Forever Altering One of History’s Most Iconic Images —

ATLANTA, Sept. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — RMS Titanic, Inc., the salvor-in-possession of the RMS Titanic, today released captivating images from its recent Imaging and Research Expedition. The findings showcase a bittersweet mix of preservation and loss. The company has shared these discoveries, both celebratory and poignant, on its website, expedition.discovertitanic.com, inviting the public to witness the ongoing story of this historic vessel.

A highlight is the re-discovery of the bronze statue “Diana of Versailles,” last seen in 1986, an artifact that most experts feared had been lost forever. This significant piece of art now has a clear, updated image thanks to the efforts of RMS Titanic, Inc.’s researcher James Penca and the Expedition’s data scientists. A more somber revelation accompanied this success: a significant section of the railing surrounding the Bow’s forecastle deck have fallen from the port side prow where it stood as recently as 2022. This alteration irrevocably changes one of Titanic‘s most recognized and symbolic visuals.

“RMS Titanic, Inc. is thrilled to share the first images and remarkable discoveries from our 2024 Expedition,” said RMS Titanic, Inc. Director of Collections Tomasina Ray. “The discovery of the statue of Diana was an exciting moment. But we are saddened by the loss of the iconic Bow railing and other evidence of decay which has only strengthened our commitment to preserving Titanic‘s legacy.”   

The team at RMS Titanic, Inc. spent 20 days at the wreck site using the latest technology to capture more than 2 million of the highest resolution images and video to date, while fully mapping the wreck and debris field utilizing LiDAR, sonar, and a hyper magnetometer to enhance our understanding of its historical significance. The team is now focused on carefully processing the data so findings can be shared with the Titanic and scientific communities and historically significant and at-risk artifacts can be identified for safe recovery in future expeditions.

The extraordinary work is the result of around-the-clock-operations from the Expedition team and partners including C-Innovation, Marine Imaging Technologies, 3D at Depth, Ocean Floor Geophysics, Nine North, TR Launay, Inc., and TITANIC: HONOR and GLORY.

The Expedition and its discoveries will continue to help bring Titanic to life for the millions who visit TITANIC: The Artifact Exhibition in Orlando and Las Vegas and its various touring exhibitions throughout the world. The findings will also help to inspire the next generation of explorers through the company’s community educational resources which provide schools and students materials through which they can learn valuable interdisciplinary lessons in areas such as history, science, math and technology.

About RMS Titanic, Inc.: 
As salvor in possession of the Titanic, RMS Titanic, Inc (RMST) is the only entity able to legally recover artifacts. To date, nine expeditions have honorably and respectfully been conducted to the wrecksite. In seven of those expeditions, artifacts were recovered, about 5,500 in total. Their exhibitions have been seen by over 35 million people. Learn more at DiscoverTitanic.com

PÉKIN, 2 septembre 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Le 2024 China (Shenyang) Rowing Development Index vient d’être dévoilé dans la ville de Shenyang, dans la province de Liaoning au nord-est de la Chine, montrant la vitalité du développement intégré de l’aviron et des villes.

Compilé conjointement par le Service d’information économique de Chine (CEIS) et le gouvernement populaire municipal de Shenyang, l’indice se concentre sur l’étude du développement de l’aviron à Shenyang. Il analyse la trajectoire de développement et les caractéristiques de l’industrie de l’aviron à Shenyang sous trois angles : le charme de l’événement, le développement industriel et l’intégration entre le sport et la ville. Il fait également progresser la recherche spécialisée en prenant pour référence la croissance des sports d’aviron internationaux.

L’indice de cette année est la troisième édition de l’indice de développement de l’aviron en Chine (Shenyang), après les deux versions publiées en 2022 et 2023. La publication de l’indice 2024 marque un pas en avant de Shenyang vers la construction d’une ville reconnue pour sa forte compétitivité sportive.

L’indice 2024 montre que les épreuves d’aviron de Shenyang ont gagné en influence industrielle et internationale, les deux indicateurs principaux mesurant le nombre d’équipes de course et d’athlètes prenant la tête au niveau national.

MELBOURNE, Australia and CHICAGO, Sept. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IPG has released the debut book “Life Plans on Dive Bar Napkins” by renowned travel writer Paul Manser in North America.

Paul Manser has seen all four corners of the world through his work. The Melbourne-based travel writer has written for newspapers and magazines in Australia; detailing sprawling landscapes and buzzing metropolises, while reviewing the often-unseen sides to some of the world’s most popular destinations. However, this book isn’t about that. It’s about everything that didn’t make it into those articles.

A homage to most of his major life decisions, which started as incoherent nonsense on the back of a dive bar napkin, Life Plans on Dive Bar Napkins details Paul’s wildest, wackiest, and most dangerous adventures over the years. It’s a sexy, ridiculous, and eccentric page turner that you’ll struggle to put down.

Featuring stories of being kidnapped in the most expensive taxi in Mexico, crashing dog sleds in the Arctic Circle, sharing a room with man-eating spiders in Guatemala, avoiding exploding rubbish bins in new Tokyo, and living like Frank Sinatra (with a UTI) in Palm Springs; each chapter will leave you wondering how Paul made it this far in life with all of his limbs intact and any notion of self-dignity. No matter where he was in the world, Paul managed to test the limits of his travel insurance policy while landing himself in truly astonishing situations. If being socially awkward was an extreme sport, Paul is your back-to-back X-Games champion.

The pages will see you laugh, gasp and blush while reading. The wonderfully colourful book isn’t just packed full of debauchery – no, it has plenty of stories of friendship, comradery, local kindness, perseverance, and lessons learnt. All of which have contributed to who Paul is as a writer, businessperson, father, and perennial Darwin Award contender.

“Life Plans on Dive Bar Napkins is a book of experiences I always wanted to get into print, but worried that some tut-tutting travel editor would strip of all the best jokes. You could say that the book is an unnecessary act of self-indulgence by an egotist who shirks life’s responsibilities, drinks too much and thinks too little. And you’d probably be right,” says author Paul Manser.

He continues, “I wrote this book for the people who want to experience something different, who drink because they enjoy it, and whose life plans begin as incoherent scrawls on the back of a dive bar napkin.“

Written for the nomad-ish wanderers of the world, and the people aspiring to be them, this book is the inspiration needed to live life to the fullest outside of societal pressures. It’s for those who like late nights that turn into early mornings, saying ‘yes’ to chaos and gaining a whole lot of life experience while you’re at it.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Paul Manser is a Melbourne-based travel writer who has been published in newspapers including The Australian, The Courier Mail, MX and The Sunday Telegraph, as well as by international media titles and travel brands such as MTV, Hearth, International Traveller, and G Adventures. 

Away from writing, Paul is the personal manservant to a grumpy 11-year-old sausage dog named Bruno. He has also started four businesses, the majority of which have not resulted in being chased down the street by a reporter from A Current Affair.

Today, you can often find Paul with bags under his eyes, scrolling through his phone looking for international flight sales as his young children test the boundaries of physical and personal safety on playground equipment in Melbourne’s inner-west.

PEKING, 3. September 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Der China (Shenyang) Rowing Development Index 2024 wurde kürzlich in der Stadt Shenyang in der nordostchinesischen Provinz Liaoning vorgestellt und zeigt die Vitalität der integrierten Entwicklung von Rudern und Städten.

Der Index, der gemeinsam vom China Economic Information Service (CEIS) und der Stadtverwaltung von Shenyang erstellt wird, spiegelt die Entwicklung des Rudersports in Shenyang wider. Er analysiert den Entwicklungspfad und die Branchenmerkmale des Rudersports in Shenyang anhand der drei Dimensionen: Attraktivität des Events, industrielle Entwicklung und Sport-Stadt-Integration. Zudem fördert der Index die spezialisierte Forschung, die die Entwicklung des internationalen Rudersports als Bezugsgröße verwendet.

Der diesjährige Index ist die dritte Ausgabe des China (Shenyang) Rowing Development Index, die auf die Veröffentlichungen in den Jahren 2022 und 2023 folgt. Die Einführung des Index für das Jahr 2024 ist ein weiterer Schritt von Shenyang auf dem Weg zu einer Stadt, die für ihre starke sportliche Wettbewerbsfähigkeit bekannt ist.

Wie der Index 2024 verdeutlicht, haben Ruderveranstaltungen in Shenyang zunehmend an industriellem und internationalem Einfluss gewonnen. Die beiden wichtigsten Indikatoren, die Anzahl der Rennteams und der Athleten, übernehmen landesweit die Führung. Seit ihrer Gründung im Jahr 2018 hat sich die Shenyang International Open Regatta zu einer der bedeutendsten Veranstaltungen entwickelt, die Kultur, Sport und Tourismus miteinander verbinden und die größte Teilnehmerzahl in China anzieht.

Der Hunhe-Fluss, der durch das südliche Shenyang fließt, hat als Trainings- und Wettkampfzentrum für Ruderer einen Aufschwung in den Bereichen Sporttraining, Freizeitkultur, Gastronomie, Erlebnisgastronomie, Kulturtourismus und anderen Geschäftsbereichen erlebt. Dem Index zufolge haben 2023 in Shenyang 390 kulturelle Veranstaltungen zum Thema Rudern stattgefunden. Die Einnahmen aus Touristenattraktionen mit Bezug zum Rudersport überstiegen 10 Millionen Yuan (etwa 1,41 Millionen US-Dollar).

Shenyang hat seine Anstrengungen zur Förderung des Rudersports auf dem Campus intensiviert. Im Jahr 2023 stieg die Zahl der Rudertrainingsaktivitäten auf dem Campus in Shenyang um 20 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr. Zurzeit bieten 41 Grund- und Sekundarschulen in der Stadt Ruderkurse an.

ANDERSON, S.C., Aug. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — After a decent start, Garrett Smith and Andrew Blanton of Lander University saved the best for last by smashing a huge Day 3 limit and tallying a three-day total of 49 pounds to win the Strike King Bassmaster College National Championship presented by Bass Pro Shops at Lake Hartwell.

After placing 22nd with an opening weight of 12-6, Smith and Blanton added 16-1 on Day 2 and moved into third. Championship Saturday saw them weigh 20-9 — the event’s heaviest bag — and edge Day 2 leaders Parker Guy and Tyler Campbell of Emmanuel University by 1-3.

“Fishing on this level has been a dream of mine since I was a little boy, and Garrett and I have dedicated our lives to it,” Blanton said. “Being the first to win a National Championship for Lander is amazing. I’m so happy that we get to cherish it with all (our teammates) that were at the weigh in.

“The Lord has blessed me and (Smith) beyond measure. I can’t believe this. It’s great.”

Smith added: “This all came down to making good decisions and executing. We just want to thank our parents and our school for putting us in position to do this.”

While many of their competitors, including Guy and Campbell, targeted the bass that were following blueback herring on the main lake, Smith and Blanton took a dramatically different approach.

“We focused on the Tugaloo River and the Seneca River, because we wanted to fish shallow and chase fish that would be feeding on bream,” Smith said. “We spent all of our practice in those areas.

“We chose to go to the bank and fish the way we were most comfortable, because we felt it was almost impossible for us to go out there and beat the (more experienced) herring guys. So, we chose to go give ourselves a chance to win it our way.”

Blanton said he and his partner fished in 5 feet or less and saw most of their fish before they bit.

“We had to be around steeper pockets more so than just flat pockets,” he said. “That was weird for us because we fish here a good bit in the summer and we usually fish flatter pockets and flatter banks for shallow cruisers and bream eaters.

“This week, the water continued to drop, so we had to fish in steeper pockets and a lot of them had bream beds. The key for us is the areas we were fishing — whether we were throwing at the bream beds or not — had to have a big population of bream.”

Smith, who’s pursuing a master’s degree in business administration, and Blanton, a junior majoring in business, fished reaction and finesse baits.

“We caught 90% of our fish on a buzzbait, but we also threw a wacky rig and we caught a key Day 1 fish on a prop bait,” Blanton said. “We beat the bank all week. We had a great time today.”

The winners caught about 15 keepers on Day 3, including a 6-1. Biting a wacky rig around 1:30, that fish gave them the cull that pushed them over the edge — but not without a double dose of drama.

“Today was one of those days when everything just went right,” Blanton said. “Once we got that big one in the boat, I felt like it was our time, because you don’t have things happen like what happened today unless it’s your time.

“As soon as Garrett hooked that big one, it wrapped him up in a brushpile under a dock twice. It came out and jumped a bunch. Any other day, I feel like we wouldn’t have gotten that fish in the boat, but we were able to get it to come out of that brushpile and catch it.”

Smith and Blanton earned the $5,000 first-place cash prize, along with $10,000 in Minn Kota/Humminbird merchandise. Also, the winners advance to the Bassmaster College Classic Bracket presented by Lew’s. This head-to-head style competition will send the winner to the 2025 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Jockey Outdoors March 21-23 on Texas’ Lake Ray Roberts.

Guy and Campbell finished second with 47-13. Their daily weights were 16-6, 15-2 and 16-5.

Sticking with the game plan that produced all week, Campbell and Guy committed themselves to a run-and-gun strategy that took them all over the lake. With the lake in drought condition and current generation minimal until later in the afternoon, the morning bite proved most productive.

Targeting brushpiles and cane piles in 15 to 30 feet, Campbell and Guy hit approximately 300 spots. Guy and Campbell caught their fish on a variety of topwater presentations, including a Berkley Krej waking bait and unweighted Texas-rigged Zoom Super Flukes.

Campbell, who guides on Hartwell, said he wouldn’t change anything about his team’s decision. He also said the final field of 12 teams proved advantageous.

“No regrets about the week; everything went perfectly, execution was good and they bit better today than they have all week due to less pressure on the lake,” Campbell said. “The only thing I didn’t account for was somebody catching 20 1/2 pounds.”

Lane Clark and Tallis Morrison of Erskine College placed third with 45-3. They caught limits of 13-11, 15-1 and 16-7.

Clark said he and Morrison fished the lake’s lower end, where they expected to find Hartwell’s bigger fish, along with the largest population of blueback herring. They fished cane piles, brushpiles and timber in depths of 20 to 70 feet.

“We caught our fish on chartreuse and white Zoom Super Flukes and buzzbaits,” Clark said. “We were running and gunning and putting our bait in front of as many fish as possible.”

Dylan Akins and Chase Carey of Emmanuel University won the Strike King Bassmaster College Series Team of the Year honors. Finishing fifth in the tournament, Akins and Carey received $2,500 cash, $5,000 of Minn Kota/Humminbird merchandise and a spot in the Bassmaster College Classic Bracket presented by Lew’s.

Smith and Blanton won big bass honors for Day 3 with their 6-1.

Market Challenges

• Online gambling market growth is hindered by significant security and credibility concerns. Many gambling websites lack robust dispute resolution mechanisms, transparency in cash prize payouts, and adhere to fair and responsible gaming standards. These issues undermine the credibility of operators and platform providers, discouraging new users and limiting market expansion. Moreover, online gambling platforms are susceptible to cyberattacks, with user data, including bank details and credit card numbers, at risk. Offshore casinos often lack advanced cybersecurity technologies, increasing vulnerability. Some websites employ poker bots, artificially inflating betting amounts. To mitigate these challenges, operators must prioritize authentication, cryptographic techniques, software protection, and vulnerability scanning. Neglecting these measures could hinder the global gambling market’s growth during the forecast period.
• The online gambling market faces several challenges in the modern business landscape. Freemium models, popularized by Gaming Realms and others, require careful balance to monetize user engagement. Horse racing contests and major athletic events attract large viewerships, driving demand for online betting. Internet penetration and the growing number of internet users create vast opportunities, but a clear legislative framework is essential. Technology advancements, such as machine learning and virtual reality (VR), offer product innovations, with mobile gambling on smartphones and tablets becoming increasingly popular. Online payment gateways and virtual payment systems must provide diverse payment options for users. Primary factors like sports betting, sports games, streaming content, and television programs fuel market growth. Tournaments and tourneys on virtual platforms are also gaining traction, making VR and virtual wagering key trends to watch.
