Tickets are on sale now everywhere tickets are sold for Walt Disney Animation Studios’ epic animated musical “Moana 2.”
Barlow & Bear shared of “Beyond,” “During the process of writing this, we spoke to a lot of people who come from Oceania and the Polynesian Islands, and what rings true to all of them is their deep connection to their heritage and how they honor their ancestors. No matter how daunting this journey is to Moana, she can’t refuse it. It scares her but also exhilarates her because it’s a call from the ancestors. And the idea that the ocean connects us all is a very big part of Pacific Island culture and wayfinding culture.”
Added director Jason Hand, “It’s incredibly emotional. When Auli‘i sang it, it really blew us away. We were all in tears listening to her.”
Added Auli‘i Cravalho, “’Beyond’ really impacted me as someone who feels deeply connected to my culture. It’s about going beyond what you’re capable of, beyond your comfort zone, and not doing it just for yourself, doing it for your people.”

11月19日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普今天宣布，他已签署“爱泼斯坦档案透明法案”(Epstein Files Transparency Act)，该法案强制联邦政府公布与臭名昭著的恋童癖者爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）有关的文件。 特朗普总统今天在社交媒体平台“真实社交”上发布的长帖中写道：“我刚刚签署了公布爱泼斯坦档案的法案！众所周知，我已要求众议院议长约翰逊（Mike Johnson）和参议院多数党领袖图恩（John Thune）分别在众议院和参议院通过这项法案，正因为有此要求，该法案几乎全票通过。” 特朗普总统签署成为法律的措施要求美国司法部在30天内将所有“未分类的记录、文件、通讯和调查材料”以及所有机密信息尽可能地移交给国会。 由美国共和党肯塔基州众议员马西（Thomas Massi）和民主党宾夕法尼亚州众议员康纳（Ro Khanna）提出的该法案，将命令美国司法部部长邦迪（Pam Bondi）在获得总统签名后15天内，提供与爱泼斯坦有联系的政府官员和其他“政治暴露的人”名单。 美国众议院11月18日以427票对1票通过该法案，并得到了美国参议院的一致同意后，送交特朗普总统的办公桌。 因为特朗普总统支持公开爱泼斯坦档案，特朗普政府在一年中的大部分时间里一直与民主党人发生分歧。特朗普总统抨击这个话题是民主党领导的“骗局”。…
11月19日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普今天在华盛顿特区肯尼迪中心举行的美沙投资论坛上发表讲话。特朗普总统在论坛上亮相，是在他前一天在白宫接待沙特阿拉伯王储萨勒曼（MBS）之后进行的。萨勒曼昨天宣布，沙特阿拉伯承诺向美国投资1万亿美元，远高于此前承诺的6000亿美元。 沙特实际统治者王储萨勒曼昨天抵达白宫，特朗普总统为其举行了高规格的欢迎仪式，铺设了红毯和礼宾马队迎接，空机还飞越了白宫上空向萨勒曼致意。美沙领导人就安全、民用核能合作等议题展开会谈。 除了投资承诺外，特朗普和萨勒曼王储还签署了防务合作协议，讨论了美国向沙特阿拉伯出售F-35战斗机的事宜。据报道，沙特有意购买多达48架这种隐形战斗机，这将是一笔价值数十亿美元的交易。 白宫表示，特朗普总统“批准了一项重要的国防销售方案，其中包括未来的F-35交付，这将加强美国的国防工业基础，并确保沙特阿拉伯继续购买美国产品。” 但白宫并未透露具体的售出飞机数量或交付时间表。 萨勒曼此行是自2018年以来首次访问美国。2018年，一个沙特暗杀小组在沙特驻伊斯坦布尔领事馆内杀害了记者卡舒吉（Jamal Khashoggi)。美国情报部门后来得出结论，萨勒曼批准了抓捕或杀害卡舒吉的行动。 特朗普总统昨天表示，萨勒曼“对此一无所知，我们就到此为止吧”。谈到卡舒吉遇害一事，特朗普总统说：“世事难料。” 特朗普总统还对一位询问卡舒吉遇害案的记者说道：““你提到的这个人极具争议性。”
11月18日亚特兰大报道，美国家居建材零售商家得宝（Home Depot）今天下调了全年盈利预期，连续第三个季度未能达到华尔街的盈利预期。该公司表示，由于家装需求疲软、消费者支出低迷以及风暴活动低于往年水平，业绩受到影响。家得宝预计全年调整后每股收益将同比下降约5%，而此前的预期为下降约2%。 总部位于美国佐治亚州亚特兰大都会区维宁斯的家得宝公司表示，目前预计全年销售额将增长约3%，剔除新店开业和日历差异等一次性因素影响的同店销售额将略有增长。此前，该公司预计全年销售额将增长2.8%，同店销售额将增长1%。 此次调整后的预期包含了家得宝今年早些时候收购的建材分销商GMS带来的约20亿美元新增收入。GMS的销售额此前并未计入其全年业绩指引。 家得宝公司首席财务官麦克菲尔（Richard McPhail）表示，该公司此前预计家装活动将会增长。该公司还预期屋顶材料、发电机和其他通常在季节性风暴前后销售的用品销量会更高。他表示，这两种预期都没有出现，给公司业务带来了压力。 麦克菲尔表示：“我们在制定业绩指引时，曾预计随着利率和抵押贷款利率的下降，下半年需求会逐步加速增长，”他说道。“但实际情况是，消费者持续的不确定性和住房市场的持续压力对房屋装修需求造成了不成比例的影响。” 家得宝公布的第三财季业绩与华尔街预期，根据伦敦证券交易所集团(LSEG)对分析师的调查的对比为每股收益调整后3.74美元，预期为3.84美元。实际营收413.5亿美元，预期为411亿美元。 今天早盘交易中，家得宝公司股价下跌约3%。截至11月17日收盘，该公司股价今年迄今已下跌约8%。同期标普500指数上涨13%。 对于家得宝公司而言，房屋周转通常会带来规模更大、利润更高的项目，因为客户会在搬家前后对房屋进行翻新。然而，由于利率上升导致抵押贷款利率和贷款成本上涨，这些大型项目的频率有所下降。房主可能会用贷款来支付厨房改造或大型扩建的费用。 麦克菲尔说，自2023年年中以来，房主们一直处于“延期购房”的心态。这导致家得宝不得不采取观望态度，等待更低的抵押贷款利率，或者等待消费者逐渐习惯高抵押贷款利率成为新常态。 麦克菲尔还说，在最近三个月里，这种观望仍在继续，考虑到飓风的影响，从第二财季到第三财季，需求保持“稳定”。但他补充说，“目前很难找到能够加速增长的短期催化剂。” 截至11月2日的三个月期间，家得宝的净利润从去年同期的36.5亿美元（合每股3.67美元）降至36亿美元（合每股3.62美元）。营收也从去年同期的402.2亿美元下降。经调整一次性项目（包括无形资产价值）后，家得宝公布的每股收益为 3.74 美元。…
11月18日华盛顿报道，美国总统特朗普今天在白宫隆重欢迎沙特王储萨勒曼（MBS）访问美国。萨勒曼在椭圆形办公室与特朗普总统会晤时宣布对美国投资至少6000亿美元的消息，并表示投资将遍及美国经济的各个领域。 特朗普总统最初表示投资额“至少”为6000亿美元，但这位沙特领导人在讲话中确认了更高的金额。 特朗普总统在白宫椭圆办公室会晤萨特曼时宣布：“你已经同意向美国投资6000亿美元，因为他是我的朋友，他可能会把金额提高到1万亿美元，但我得跟他商量一下。但金额是6000亿美元。我们可以确定这6000亿美元。不过，这个数字可能会略微增加一些。” 特朗普总统还表示：“这意味着对工厂、公司以及华尔街的投资。而对每个人来说，真正重要的是就业机会。大量的就业机会。我们有很多就业机会。” 此前，特朗普总统表示，尽管2021年的一份情报报告认定沙特王储萨勒曼（MBS）下令杀害了记者卡舒吉（Jamal Khashoggi)，但他本人对2018年发生的卡舒吉遇害一事“毫不知情”。 特朗普总统今天在谈到他与萨勒曼的商业往来时表示：“你提到的这个人极具争议性。不管你喜欢他还是不喜欢他，很多人都不喜欢你提到的这个人，事情就是这样发生的，但他对此一无所知，我们就到此为止吧。” 这是萨勒曼自卡舒吉遇害以来首次访问白宫。萨勒曼否认参与其中，但他曾在2019年接受美国哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）“60分钟”节目主持人奥唐纳采访时表示：“作为沙特阿拉伯的领导人，我对此负全部责任，尤其因为这起事件是由为沙特政府工作的个人所为。” 2021年拜登政府情报部门报告的结论是，“王储对沙特王国的安全和情报机构拥有绝对控制权，因此，沙特官员在没有王储授权的情况下实施此类行动的可能性极低。” 卡舒吉的遗孀哈南（Hanan Khashoggi）今天在社交媒体上写道：“没有任何理由可以杀害我的丈夫。虽然贾迈勒是一位正直、坦诚、勇敢的人，但许多人可能并不认同他的观点以及他对新闻自由的追求。” 特朗普总统坚称，他与家族在沙特阿拉伯的商业往来“没有任何关系”，并坚称“实际上，他们与沙特阿拉伯的往来非常少”。 在萨勒曼自卡舒吉遇害后首次访问白宫之际，特朗普总统称萨勒曼是他的朋友，并称赞他“在人权和其他方面都做得非常出色”。
11月18日迪拜报道，阿联酋航空（Emirates）正加大对美国飞机制造商波音（Boeing）的施压，要求其履行本周签订的价值380亿美元的订单。 阿联酋航空总裁克拉克（Tim Clark）今天在迪拜航展上表示，他相信波音公司能够“重现昔日辉煌”，但即便如此，阿联酋航空仍在尽一切努力确保这家美国陷入困境的飞机制造商履行其协议义务。 阿联酋航空11月17日宣布，已订购65架波音777-9飞机，按目录价格计算价值380亿美元，使该航空公司在波音公司的宽体客机订单总数达到315架。克拉克表示，阿联酋航空希望能在2027年第二季度接收首架波音新飞机。 阿联酋航空是波音公司在宽体客机方面最大的客户，但由于认证和生产方面的挑战，波音777X项目一直处于延期状态，阿联酋航空也因此举步维艰。去年底波音公司内部罢工导致生产中断，也使得波音公司其他机型（包括737系列飞机）的交付受到影响。 克拉克表示：“我们正在督促波音公司加快进度。”他指出，虽然飞机本身“性能良好”，但波音公司不得不应对新飞机带来的繁重认证要求，以及受美国政府停摆影响而放缓的联邦航空管理局（FAA）审批流程。 阿联酋航空过去曾多次批评波音公司交付延误，其董事长兼首席执行官阿勒马克图姆（Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum）去年表示，阿联酋航空“对目前的情况非常不满”。在延误期间，阿联酋航空已斥资数十亿美元对其老旧飞机进行改造，以弥补运力缺口。 其他航空公司也受到了波音公司交付延误的影响。今年早些时候，廉价航空公司瑞安航空（Ryanair）就因波音公司交付延误而下调了客运量目标。 然而，尽管波音公司目前面临诸多挑战，但克拉克表示，他相信波音公司能够也必将扭转颓势，“我了解过去的波音公司，我知道波音公司的实力，他们曾经是一家非常非常伟大的公司，我认为过去十年发生的一切完全可以弥补，波音公司也完全可以重现昔日辉煌，再次成为航空工程领域的卓越设计者。” 近年来，波音公司也因其飞机发生的一系列致命坠机事故而受到密切关注。今年早些时候，一架由印度航空（Air…
11月18日华盛顿报道，今天下午，美国众议院议员几乎全票通过爱泼斯坦档案透明法案（Epstein Files Transparency Act)，强制美国司法部（DOJ）公布与爱泼斯坦（Jeffrey Epstein）相关的材料。该法案在美国众议院以427票赞成、1票反对获得通过，并在美国参议院获得一致通过。 特朗普总统本周早些时候表示，他打算签署该法案。这项名为爱泼斯坦档案透明法案的法案，将强制美国司法部在法案签署生效后30天内，公开除幸存者的个人信息和其他敏感材料之外，与爱泼斯坦及其同谋麦克斯韦（Ghislaine Maxwell）有关的所有档案。 美国众议院所有民主党议员和除一名共和党议员外的所有共和党议员都投了赞成票。路易斯安那州众议员希金斯（Clay Higgin）是唯一投反对票的共和党众议员。 在美国众议院通过的爱泼斯坦档案透明法案之后，美国参议院批准了该项法案。一旦该法案于11月19日由美国众议院正式移交给参议院，便会立即送达特朗普总统的办公桌等待签署。 特朗普总统支持该项法案，促使了美国众议院共和党人投票支持该法案的通过。许多共和党议员谴责此次投票是一场作秀，认为民主党人寻求公开爱泼斯坦案文件是为了攻击总统。 此次投票是美国众议院长期以来推动该议题审议的结果。上周，4名共和党议员与所有民主党议员联名签署了一份请愿书，要求将该议题提交美国众议院全体会议讨论。众议院议长约翰逊（Mike Johnson）今天表示支持该议题的通过。 参议院多数党领袖图恩（John Thune）称，众议院预计将于11月19日上午正式将爱泼斯坦档案透明法案提交给参议院。一旦该法案送达参议院，它将自动获得通过并提交给特朗普总统签署。此前，参议院已于今天一致同意，一旦众议院将法案提交参议院，参议院将立即予以通过。
