Two hundred million doses — enough to fully protect 100 million people — would be shared this year, with the balance to be donated in the first half of 2022, the person said.\nNational security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that Biden was committed to sharing vaccines because it was in the public health and strategic interests of the U.S. As Biden embarks on his first foreign trip, he is aiming to show \"that democracies are the countries that can best deliver solutions for people everywhere.\"\n\"As he said in his joint session (address), we were the 'arsenal of democracy' in World War II,\" Sullivan said. \"We're going to be the 'arsenal of vaccines' over this next period to help end the pandemic.\"\nThe news of the Pfizer sharing plan was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the president's formal announcement. The news was first reported by the Washington Post.\nThe U.S. has faced mounting pressure to outline its global vaccine sharing plan. Inequities in supply around the world have become more pronounced, and the demand for shots in the U.S. — where nearly 64% of adults have received at least one dose — has dropped precipitously.\nThe announcement comes a week after the White House unveiled its plans to donate an initial allotment of 25 million doses of surplus vaccine overseas, mostly through the United Nations-backed COVAX program, promising infusions for South and Central America, Asia, Africa and others at a time of glaring shortages abroad.\nOverall, the White House has announced plans to share 80 million doses globally by the end of June, most through COVAX. Officials say a quarter of the nation's excess will be kept in reserve for emergencies and for the U.S. to share directly with allies and partners.\nThe White House has also directed doses to allies including South Korea, Taiwan and Ukraine.\nGlobal public health groups had been aiming to use the upcoming G-7 meetings in Cornwall, England, to press the nation's wealthiest democracies to do more to share vaccines with the world, and Biden's plans drew immediate praise toward that end.\n\"The Biden administration's decision to purchase and donate additional Covid-19 vaccine doses is the kind of bold leadership that is needed to end this global pandemic,\" said Tom Hart, acting CEO at The ONE Campaign, a nonprofit that seeks to end poverty. \"This action sends an incredibly powerful message about America's commitment to helping the world fight this pandemic and the immense power of US global leadership.\"\nGlobally, there have been more than 3.7 million confirmed deaths from Covid-19, and more than 174 million people have been confirmed infected.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PFE":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1714,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":112444108,"gmtCreate":1622908622804,"gmtModify":1634096949933,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment","listText":"Like and comment","text":"Like and comment","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":2,"commentSize":2,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/112444108","repostId":"1106312903","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1106312903","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1622855773,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1106312903?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-06-05 09:16","market":"us","language":"en","title":"U.S. IPO Week Ahead: Digital Payments, Mental Health Services, And More In A Diverse 8 IPO","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1106312903","media":"Renaissance Capital","summary":"Summary\n\nEight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental h","content":"<p><b>Summary</b></p>\n<ul>\n <li>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</li>\n <li>Payments platform Marqeta plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.</li>\n <li>Chinese online recruitment platform Kanzhun plans to raise $864 million at an $8.2 billion market cap.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Eight IPOs are currently slated to raise $3.7 billion, featuring digital payments, mental health services, and more.</p>\n<p>Payments platform&nbsp;<b>Marqeta</b>(MQ) plans to raise $1.0 billion at a $12.4 billion market cap.

When asked what Apple’s move in the space may mean for the future of growth in the digital wallet, executives from the companies agreed it was a great opportunity for all involved, including consumers.</p><p>“Finding partnerships in the alternative payments space makes sense for Apple on a number of levels,” said Charlie Youakim, Sezzle chief executive officer and cofounder of Sezzle. “First, the world of payments is a significant Total Addressable Market opportunity, which is underpenetrated in terms of market share from alternative providers. Second, a partnership would allow Apple to avoid credit risk on its balance sheet. And third, it would be a natural extension of some of the products Apple already provides such as its iPhone Wallet, Apple Pay, and Apple Card.”</p><p>Moreover, Brad Paterson, chief executive officer at <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/SPT.AU\">Splitit</a>, said, “Apple’s news is another positive sign for the buy now, pay later industry. Payments expertise is a growing need for retailers as consumers demand more flexibility, including how they pay overtime. For example, many consumers prefer to pay in installments using their existing cards instead of obtaining new debt via traditional point-of-sale financing. Appointing a payment specialist will help companies such as Apple solve for the different and evolving needs of consumers.”</p><p>According to Zahir Khoja, head of North America at Afterpay, it’s important to note that its customers of Millennials and Gen Z represent a massive shift to debit spending, with more than 90 percent of transactions being made with a debit card.</p><p>“Unlike other BNPL products, which are just a new form of a credit card, Afterpay gives shoppers the ability to avoid expensive interest, hidden fees and pernicious debt,” Khoja said. “Afterpay’s current partnership with Apple represents a significant change in the way young people want to pay.</p><p>Affirm, Klarna and Quadpay withheld comment for this story.</p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;

When asked what Apple’s move in the space may mean for the future of growth in the digital wallet, executives from the companies agreed it was a great opportunity for all involved, including consumers.“Finding partnerships in the alternative payments space makes sense for Apple on a number of levels,” said Charlie Youakim, Sezzle chief executive officer and cofounder of Sezzle. “First, the world of payments is a significant Total Addressable Market opportunity, which is underpenetrated in terms of market share from alternative providers. Second, a partnership would allow Apple to avoid credit risk on its balance sheet. And third, it would be a natural extension of some of the products Apple already provides such as its iPhone Wallet, Apple Pay, and Apple Card.”Moreover, Brad Paterson, chief executive officer at Splitit, said, “Apple’s news is another positive sign for the buy now, pay later industry. Payments expertise is a growing need for retailers as consumers demand more flexibility, including how they pay overtime. For example, many consumers prefer to pay in installments using their existing cards instead of obtaining new debt via traditional point-of-sale financing. Appointing a payment specialist will help companies such as Apple solve for the different and evolving needs of consumers.”According to Zahir Khoja, head of North America at Afterpay, it’s important to note that its customers of Millennials and Gen Z represent a massive shift to debit spending, with more than 90 percent of transactions being made with a debit card.“Unlike other BNPL products, which are just a new form of a credit card, Afterpay gives shoppers the ability to avoid expensive interest, hidden fees and pernicious debt,” Khoja said. “Afterpay’s current partnership with Apple represents a significant change in the way young people want to pay.Affirm, Klarna and Quadpay withheld comment for this story.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"03086":0.9,"09086":0.9,"AAPL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":977,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136813666,"gmtCreate":1622004743355,"gmtModify":1634184731986,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/136813666","repostId":"2138160203","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138160203","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621995766,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138160203?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-26 10:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Epic v.

AMD is forecast to report $1.89 billion in computing and graphics sales, a relatively modest 31% rise from a year ago.</p>\n<p>In early April, shareholders from AMD and Xilinx Inc.&nbsp;approved a $35 billion wrap-up between the two companies. In March, the company announced a&nbsp;new gaming card.</p>\n<p><b>What to expect</b></p>\n<p>Earnings: Of the 34 analysts surveyed by FactSet, AMD on average is expected to post adjusted earnings of 44 cents a share, up from 35 cents a share expected at the beginning of the quarter and 18 cents a share reported in the year-ago period. Estimize, a software platform that crowdsources estimates from hedge-fund executives, brokerages, buy-side analysts and others, calls for earnings of 48 cents a share.</p>\n<p>Revenue: Back in January, AMD predicted first-quarter sales between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, while analysts on average had forecast revenue of $2.68 billion at the time. Now, 31 analysts, on average, expect revenue of $3.18 billion, up from the $1.79 billion reported in the year-ago quarter.

AMD\nAdvanced Micro Devices Inc. earnings will serve as an indication if the data-center market is truly in a \"digestion\" phase, as Intel Corp. reported.\nAMD $(AMD)$ is scheduled to report its first-quarter earnings on Tuesday after the close of markets. When Intel $(INTC)$ reported results last week, the market-share leader noted that the market was just bottoming from a \"digestion phase\" as its data-center sales dropped 20% year-over-year.\nAnalysts questioned that characterization of a \"digestion phase,\" however, asking instead if AMD was taking share away from Intel\nWall Street, on average, expects AMD to report $1.3 billion in enterprise, embedded, and semi-custom sales, the segment containing data-center and gaming-console chips, nearly triple the $348 million the company reported in the year-ago period .\nThis all comes amid a continuing shortage of microchips to sate demand from global industries, and the companies that make the silicon wafers chip designs use, work to clear waiting lists that span several months.\nAMD said in its last earnings report that it expected data-center and gaming sales growth to continue well into 2021. AMD is forecast to report $1.89 billion in computing and graphics sales, a relatively modest 31% rise from a year ago.\nIn early April, shareholders from AMD and Xilinx Inc. approved a $35 billion wrap-up between the two companies. In March, the company announced a new gaming card.\nWhat to expect\nEarnings: Of the 34 analysts surveyed by FactSet, AMD on average is expected to post adjusted earnings of 44 cents a share, up from 35 cents a share expected at the beginning of the quarter and 18 cents a share reported in the year-ago period. Estimize, a software platform that crowdsources estimates from hedge-fund executives, brokerages, buy-side analysts and others, calls for earnings of 48 cents a share.\nRevenue: Back in January, AMD predicted first-quarter sales between $3.1 billion and $3.3 billion, while analysts on average had forecast revenue of $2.68 billion at the time. Now, 31 analysts, on average, expect revenue of $3.18 billion, up from the $1.79 billion reported in the year-ago quarter. Estimize expects revenue of $3.25 billion.\nStock movement: In the first quarter, AMD shares fell 14.4%. In contrast, the PHLX Semiconductor Index gained 11.8%, the S&P 500 index gained 5.8%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rose 2.8%.\nWhat analysts are saying\nSusquehanna Financial analyst Christopher Rolland, who has a positive rating and a $115 price target on AMD, said PC and graphics processing unit checks point to continued strong demand in the first quarter.\n\"While many believe upside is capped by capacity constraints, we believe AMD is quickly becoming [Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.'s (2330.TW)] preferred 'CPU' partner, as Intel's IDM 2.0 strategy appears increasingly competitive to thefoundry,\" Rolland said. \"Therefore, we would not be surprised to see AMD receive more than enough wafers to track toward full-year guidance and perhaps beyond.\"\nMorgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore, who just reinstated estimates for AMD, said he expects strong earnings above the consensus from AMD with \"strong demand across the board, and supply constraints due to substrates and to a lesser extent wafers.\"\nMoore expects fab priority to keep going to high margin products like servers and \"enthusiast desktop microprocessors\" and \"lowest-margin customers that are strategic and sole sourced\" like Microsoft Corp.'s $(MSFT)$ and Sony Group Corp.'s gaming consoles.\n\"With competitors also dealing with supply constraints, overall pricing should be healthy,\" Moore said.

Two hundred million doses — enough to fully protect 100 million people — would be shared this year, with the balance to be donated in the first half of 2022, the person said.\nNational security adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Wednesday that Biden was committed to sharing vaccines because it was in the public health and strategic interests of the U.S. As Biden embarks on his first foreign trip, he is aiming to show \"that democracies are the countries that can best deliver solutions for people everywhere.\"\n\"As he said in his joint session (address), we were the 'arsenal of democracy' in World War II,\" Sullivan said. \"We're going to be the 'arsenal of vaccines' over this next period to help end the pandemic.\"\nThe news of the Pfizer sharing plan was confirmed to The Associated Press by a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of the president's formal announcement. The news was first reported by the Washington Post.\nThe U.S. has faced mounting pressure to outline its global vaccine sharing plan. Inequities in supply around the world have become more pronounced, and the demand for shots in the U.S. — where nearly 64% of adults have received at least one dose — has dropped precipitously.\nThe announcement comes a week after the White House unveiled its plans to donate an initial allotment of 25 million doses of surplus vaccine overseas, mostly through the United Nations-backed COVAX program, promising infusions for South and Central America, Asia, Africa and others at a time of glaring shortages abroad.\nOverall, the White House has announced plans to share 80 million doses globally by the end of June, most through COVAX. Officials say a quarter of the nation's excess will be kept in reserve for emergencies and for the U.S. to share directly with allies and partners.\nThe White House has also directed doses to allies including South Korea, Taiwan and Ukraine.\nGlobal public health groups had been aiming to use the upcoming G-7 meetings in Cornwall, England, to press the nation's wealthiest democracies to do more to share vaccines with the world, and Biden's plans drew immediate praise toward that end.\n\"The Biden administration's decision to purchase and donate additional Covid-19 vaccine doses is the kind of bold leadership that is needed to end this global pandemic,\" said Tom Hart, acting CEO at The ONE Campaign, a nonprofit that seeks to end poverty. \"This action sends an incredibly powerful message about America's commitment to helping the world fight this pandemic and the immense power of US global leadership.\"\nGlobally, there have been more than 3.7 million confirmed deaths from Covid-19, and more than 174 million people have been confirmed infected.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"PFE":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1714,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":137522212,"gmtCreate":1622365891136,"gmtModify":1634102009755,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Please like.

No problem.\nMicrosoft said on Thursday (June 10) its Xbox gaming unit is working on new hardware and deals with television makers that will let people play games and experience the Xbox without needing to buy a gaming machine.\nThe news came as Microsoft and other video game industry heavyweights prepare to show off coming titles at an annual Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) being held virtually beginning Saturday due to the pandemic.\n\"As a company, Microsoft is all-in on gaming,\" chief executive Satya Nadella said in introducing the plan.\nThe idea would be to embed the Xbox experience directly into an Internet-connected TV with nothing else needed except for a video game controller, Microsoft said.\nMicrosoft has been playing on the strength of its Xbox unit as it vies with Amazon's Luna and Google's Stadia cloud gaming services.\nThe United States-based technology giant also announced it is building devices that will plug into any television screen or computer monitor to stream Xbox game play without any consoles.\nMicrosoft's latest Xbox consoles, released last fall, remain in short supply amid a chip shortage that is constraining industries from tech to autos and Microsoft has said it expects to continue to feel the squeeze in the coming months.\nMicrosoft declined to provide more details on the hardware or the planned partnerships.\nAs the company tries to smooth and boost revenue flow by getting more customers on to video-game subscriptions that offer access to hundreds of titles and cloud gaming, Microsoft said subscribers to these services are buying even more content besides their monthly fee.\nIn August, Xbox Vice President Sarah Bond said subscribers to Xbox's Game Pass service spend 20 per cent more on extra games and downloadable content.\nNow, that number is up to 50 per cent, Microsoft said in a briefing and blog posts shared with reporters ahead of E3.\nIn an interview, Ms Bond said the increase is probably due to improved quality of the offering and customers getting more familiar with it.\n\"If you look at the evolution of the catalogue over time, the quality of the games, the sophistication of the games, the percentage of games that have a really well-built, in-game monetisation mechanic, people's understanding of the catalogue and the benefit that comes with Game Pass, I think all that's been advancing and contributes,\" she said.\nIn coming weeks, cloud gaming with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions will be possible through Internet browsers Chrome, Edge and Safari, according to Microsoft.\n\"There's still a place for consoles and PCs and frankly, there always will be, but through the cloud, we will be able to deliver a robust gaming experience to anyone connected to the internet,\" said Xbox unit head Phil Spencer.\n\"And with the cloud, gaming players can participate fully in the same Xbox experience as people on local hardware.\"\nXbox Game Pass had some 18 million subscribers worldwide at the end of last year, according to figures released by Mr Nadella.\nVideo game play has surged during the pandemic, as people turned more than ever to the Internet for entertainment.\nOverall consumer spending on video gaming in the United States totalled just shy of US$15 billion (S$19.8 billion) in the first quarter of this year, up 30 per cent from the same period in 2020, according to industry tracker NPD Group.\nMicrosoft will stream an Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase on Sunday, featuring games from its studios around the world.","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"03086":0.9,"09086":0.9,"MSFT":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":980,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":136813666,"gmtCreate":1622004743355,"gmtModify":1634184731986,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls","listText":"Like and comment pls","text":"Like and comment pls","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/136813666","repostId":"2138160203","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"2138160203","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1621995766,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/2138160203?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-05-26 10:22","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Epic v.

REUTERS/Vicki BehringerVicki Behringer / reuters</p><p>If a hypothetical Epic Games store were to come into the App Store, Apple’s attorney argued that the situation would be unfavorable for Apple, Epic and consumers, with Epic Games having to agree to provide Apple with the code from every game it offers. “So now we have a store, within a store, within a store…”</p><p>The judge also had probing questions for Tim Cook, who made a rare court appearance on Friday. Asked about Apple’s treatment of in-app purchases, and why Apple refuses to allow app developers so much as a mention that customers can make purchases outside of the App Store, Cook said it would take away Apple’s payoff for the effort it makes in acquiring the customer.</p><p>“It would be akin to Apple down at Best Buy saying Best Buy put in a sign there, where you’re advertising that you can go across the street to the Apple store and get an iPhone,” Cook explained in an analogy offered early during his testimony.</p><p>While Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicted that Apple would win its court battle with Epic, he pointed out that the tech giant has also faced antitrust scrutiny in both the European Union and the U.S. In October, House Democrats issued a damning report on Big Tech finding that the App Store allowed Apple to “generate supra-normal profits.”</p><p>“We continue to believe Apple comes out with a victory in this Game of Thrones battle, but clearly risks exist if the Judge goes against Apple,” Ives said. “We believe Apple winning the Epic case will remove a major overhang on the stock, although Big Tech remains in regulatory scrutiny for years to come.”</p>","source":"yahoofinance","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Epic v.

How, she asked, could Epic also maintain antitrust claims against Google’s Android when third-party stores are already available on the operating system?Apple CEO Tim Cook testifies on the stand during a weeks-long antitrust trial at federal court in Oakland, California, U.S. May 21, 2021. REUTERS/Vicki BehringerVicki Behringer / reutersIf a hypothetical Epic Games store were to come into the App Store, Apple’s attorney argued that the situation would be unfavorable for Apple, Epic and consumers, with Epic Games having to agree to provide Apple with the code from every game it offers. “So now we have a store, within a store, within a store…”The judge also had probing questions for Tim Cook, who made a rare court appearance on Friday. Asked about Apple’s treatment of in-app purchases, and why Apple refuses to allow app developers so much as a mention that customers can make purchases outside of the App Store, Cook said it would take away Apple’s payoff for the effort it makes in acquiring the customer.“It would be akin to Apple down at Best Buy saying Best Buy put in a sign there, where you’re advertising that you can go across the street to the Apple store and get an iPhone,” Cook explained in an analogy offered early during his testimony.While Wedbush analyst Dan Ives predicted that Apple would win its court battle with Epic, he pointed out that the tech giant has also faced antitrust scrutiny in both the European Union and the U.S. In October, House Democrats issued a damning report on Big Tech finding that the App Store allowed Apple to “generate supra-normal profits.”“We continue to believe Apple comes out with a victory in this Game of Thrones battle, but clearly risks exist if the Judge goes against Apple,” Ives said. “We believe Apple winning the Epic case will remove a major overhang on the stock, although Big Tech remains in regulatory scrutiny for years to come.”","news_type":1,"symbols_score_info":{"03086":0.9,"09086":0.9,"AAPL":0.9,"GOOG":0.9,"GOOGL":0.9}},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":1770,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":197070572,"gmtCreate":1621414357796,"gmtModify":1634189340837,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Hmmmm","listText":"Hmmmm","text":"Hmmmm","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/197070572","repostId":"1156718320","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":992,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":190206951,"gmtCreate":1620620702473,"gmtModify":1634197622201,"author":{"id":"3579426471617435","authorId":"3579426471617435","name":"osp95","avatar":"https://static.laohu8.com/default-avatar.jpg","crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3579426471617435","authorIdStr":"3579426471617435"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Like and comment pls.
