Le leader de Coldplay, Chris Martin, a escorté en voiture une fan ayant des problèmes de mobilité qui tentait de se rendre à son concert à Luton (Royaume-Uni). Après la déception vécue ce week-end par les 60.000 fans qui devaient assister au seul concert français de Bruce Springsteen et du E Street Band, ainsi que d'autres annulations annoncées juste après, l'artiste, âgé de 74 ans, a tenu à rassurer ses fans via ses réseaux sociaux. Lorsque Bob Dylan vivait à Woodstock, dans l'État de New York, il s'est mis à peindre et, il y a 50 ans, il a échangé l'une de ces œuvres contre une carte astrologique, la peinture a été vendue aux enchères pour la coquette somme de 196.156 dollars.

College photos of Tesla CEO Elon Musk and memorabilia from his girlfriend at the time sold for $165,000 at auction, a Boston auction house said. Boston-based RR Auction said it was a collection of never-before-seen photos and memorabilia from Musk's college girlfriend, Jennifer Gwynne. Musk later changed his Twitter profile to one of the photos. He's currently in a public fight with Twitter to try to get out of a $44 billion deal to buy the social media company, with a high-stakes October trial over the dispute looming. Gwynne told The Boston Globe she read about an auction of test papers that Musk graded and realized she had far more personal items she could sell, including candid photos, a birthday card from him and a necklace he gave her. Musk and Gwynne dated from 1994 to 1995 when they were both at the University of Pennsylvania. They split when Musk graduated, moved to California and said he couldn't talk on the phone because it seemed like a waste of time to him, Gwynne said. “We broke up just before he started conquering the world,” Gwynne said. The gold necklace with a small green emerald that Musk gave to Gwynne in late 1994 as a birthday present sold for $51,000. A photo of Musk and Gwynne posing with four other resident advisors before a school formal in 1995 sold for $42,000, the auction house said. The birthday card Musk signed to Gwynne, calling her “Boo-Boo,” sold for nearly $17,000. The 18 candid photos were sold individually. Some show Musk in North Providence, Rhode Island, where Gwynne is from. She now lives in South Carolina and told The Globe she plans to use some of the proceeds for her stepson's college education. She and Musk have not kept in touch. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

据每经网报道,中国移动近日发布公告,宣布调整和飞信业务,自9月30日开始停止提供该服务,这意味着曾经收获5亿注册用户的飞信APP将正式走下历史舞台。需要提及的是,和飞信去年4月底曾发布业务调整公告。公告称,由于业务发展调整,将于2021年4月28日起,暂停企业注册,并对全体和飞信用户不再赠送超级会议、语音通知、群发信使及每月500条群发助手短信条数等体验权益。懂车帝昨天公布2022夏季新能源车测试结果。数据显示,近50℃条件下新能源车整体续航达成率为66%,高温对续航存在一定影响,但远低于严寒天气。国产品牌绝对续航里程更高,合资品牌实际续航和企业标称续航差距更小。针对夏季关注的空调和隔热问题,合资品牌制冷效果优秀,混动车辆空调更容易出现问题。绝大部分车辆紫外线隔绝较好,但防晒不一定隔热,广汽AION Y、比亚迪秦PLUS EV、小鹏P5等车型隔热效果较差。据最高人民法院官网,最高人民法院发布《关于为加快建设全国统一大市场提供司法服务和保障的意见》。意见提出,依法惩处扰乱市场秩序违法犯罪行为。研究制定审理涉税犯罪案件司法解释,依法惩处逃税、抗税、骗税、虚开增值税专用发票等违法犯罪行为,加大对利用“阴阳合同”逃税、文娱领域高净值人群逃税等行为的惩处力度。据澎湃报道,对于政协委员《关于把问题房企纳入诚信经营黑名单的建议》,宁波市鄞州区住房和城乡建设局召开专题讨论会议后答复称,该局也曾对“黑名单”、“红黑榜”制度的优化进行深层次的思考,由于部分项目公司所属的宁波区域公司在我区仅有一个项目,但在宁波全大市区域范围内,有其他项目在建,如由我区单独建立“黑名单”、“红黑榜”制度存在一定局限性。据央视新闻报道,我国首条跨海高铁——福州至厦门高铁全线桥梁主体工程于23日下午全线贯通。福厦高铁北起福州南站、南至漳州站,全长277.42公里,设计时速350公里,预计明年下半年运行。建成通车后,福州、厦门两地将实现“1小时生活圈”。36氪获悉,据新浪科技报道,苹果联合创始人史蒂夫·乔布斯当年开发的Apple-1电脑原型机在RR Auction拍卖行拍卖,它是1976年苹果联合创始人史蒂夫·沃兹尼亚克手工焊接的。拍卖于上周三开始,到周五上午时价格已经冲到23万美元,约合人民币155万元,拍卖活动将于8月18日结束。据新浪科技报道,2016年,美国网约车平台Uber发生了黑客攻击事件,导致5700万用户和司机的个人数据受到影响。日前,该公司和美国检方达成和解协议,Uber宣布为这次事件承担责任,作为交换,该公司也避免了检方的刑事罪名指控。在这份双方达成的不指控协议中,Uber承认,在2016年11月的黑客袭击事件发生后,工作人员并未及时向美国证券交易委员会报告情况,而证交会之前一直在调查Uber的数据安全问题。
A baseball signed by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sold at auction for more than $50,000, a portion of which will go toward providing humanitarian aid to Ukrainians displaced by the nation's war with Russia, auctioneer RR Auction of Boston said Thursday. The winning bid for the Rawlings Major League baseball in the auction that closed Wednesday was more than three times what it was expected to sell for. RR Auction will donate its $15,000 cut of the sale, while seller Randy Kaplan will also donate an undisclosed portion of his proceeds, to provide humanitarian aid through the global nonprofit Americares. Kaplan is a well-known collector of baseballs signed by world leaders who rarely auctions his prized pieces. The winning bidder wished to remain anonymous, but was described by RR Auction as a “collector from the Midwest who is thrilled to have some of the funds go to the Ukraine relief effort." The ball is signed with black felt tip in Ukrainian Cyrillic and Latin letters. It is accompanied by a transmittal letter signed by Volodymyr Yelchenko, Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the United Nations. Documents signed by British naturalist Alfred Wallace, inventor Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein and Founding Fathers John Hancock and John Adams also sold in the same auction.

On May 10, 2022, the Bob Dylan Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma opened its doors. This episode delivers a comprehensive overview and review of the Center and the events surrounding its opening.

In "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to tell us who did "I Threw It All Away" better: Bob Dylan in 1978 or Elvis Costello and the Imposters (along with Dylan's former guitarist Charlie Sexton) at Cain's Ballroom on May 7, 2022 while celebrating the opening of the Bob Dylan Center? Go to our Twitter page @RainTrains to vote! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED UPON MY RETURN FROM TULSA, ON MAY 20, AND I INTENDED TO BROADCAST IT EARLIER THAN IT WAS BROADCAST, BUT THE ASSEMBLING OF THE SHOW TOOK LONGER THAN EXPECTED, THEREFORE SOME OF THE REFERENCES TO DATES, SUCH AS DYLAN'S MAY 24 BIRTHDAY ARE MADE AS IF THE EVENT HAD NOT YET HAPPENED.

Le tout premier vol touristique dans l'espace décollera de notre planète Terre le 20 juillet. C'est une capsule de l'entreprise spatiale Blue Origin, qui s'élèvera dans les airs. Blue Origin, fondée par Jeff Bezos, également fondateur et patron d'Amazon. A bord de la capsule : 4 personnes, dont Jeff Bezos lui-même, et son frère... Il restait donc deux places : l'une des deux a été vendue aux enchères, ce week-end à Washington. Mise à prix du ticket pour l'espace, attention c'est plus cher qu'un aller-retour Paris - Marseille en période de pointe : 4 800 000 dollars.Après 10 minutes d'enchères, le voyage a atteint le prix astronomique de 28 millions de dollars, soit 23 millions d'euros. L'heureux vainqueur, dont on ne connaît pas l'identité, devra aussi verser 6 % de commission à la maison d'enchères RR Auction.Alors à ce prix-là, qu'est ce qu'on a ?La fusée décollera du Texas. La capsule quittera l'atmosphère terrestre à 100 km d'altitude, flottera en apesanteur 3 minutes (pas plus), avant de redescendre sur Terre. Ça fait quand même cher la minute en apesanteur. 28 millions / 3 = un peu plus de 9 millions la minute. Un 4e touriste fera le voyage : on ne connaît pas non plus son identité, ni s'il ou elle a payé quoi que ce soit. Avec ce vol de Blue Origin, Jeff Bezos remporte une première bataille sur les projets concurrents... Car Spacex d'Elon Musk, et Virgin Galactic de Richard Branson veulent envoyer des touristes dans l'espace. Alors, quelle est la bonne nouvelle dans tout ça ? Je me suis longtemps demandé : qu'est-ce que je ferai de mon pactole, quand je gagnerai à l'euromillions... Grâce à Jeff Bezos, je sais. Un ticket pour l'espace, hop 30 millions de dollars ! Allez, un souci de moins. Notre politique de confidentialité GDPR a été mise à jour le 8 août 2022. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.
