Guiyang Is Applying Big Data to Social Governance Modernization

Leave a comment

GUIZHOU, China, May 14, 2021 — Guiyang, a previously underdeveloped city in Southwest China, has gained remarkable achievements in recent years. In addition to poverty alleviation, Guiyang has also been known for the assimilation of big data and won the name of China’s Big Data Valley.

In order to understand how Guiyang takes advantage of data-driven solutions, the journalist at Huanqiu.com went to Guiyang and interviewed several stakeholders.

"Guiyang has benefited from big data to a significant extent," In Guizhou Big Data Exhibition Center, the staff showed how Guiyang promotes the intersection of data-driven solutions and rural rejuvenation, industrial development, social governance, etc.

In terms of social governance, Guiyang actively utilizes big data to enhance the management, service, decision-making capacity. The local government has launched Traffic Cloud, Police Cloud and other applications. "With the continuous modernization of government, the public well-being has greatly boosted," the staff told Huanqiu.com.

In order to understand how Guiyang integrates big data with social governance, the journalist at Huanqiu.com also visited Guiyang Fire-Rescue Department Block Data Center and communicated with firefighters.

"We need a high volume of printed material to formulate a rescue plan in the past, but we can currently finish relevant work from the One Picture Big Data Platform. Thanks to the data-based solution, we monitor the community in real time and spot fire hazards in advance," Ding Xiang, political committee member of the Guiyang Fire-Rescue Department said.

According to him, when a fire disaster arises, in addition to reporting by calling, the local citizens can also utilize WeChat one-click alarm. "When calling us, some people may fail to describe the situation due to tension or dialects. By comparison, through WeChat one-click alarm, it is possible for us to grasp the situation more efficiently," Ding added.

In March 2020, Guiyang launched the Digital Smart Guiyang WeChat One-click Alarm Platform. After a person logs in, the Fire-Rescue Department can automatically obtain the relevant information of the user. What the user needs to do is filling in the information required and uploading a scene photo.

After receiving the WeChat alarm, the firefighters can grasp all the necessary data of the fire hazard such as location, nearby population and buildings in the data center. Ding told Huanqiu.com: "Through this data platform, the commander will plan the best route. More importantly, we can accurately organize rescue team, save time and avoid waste of resources."

It notes that the Fire-Rescue Department also monitors the firefighters’ physical health condition in real time based on the sensors. When a firefighter stays in the same place or falls, the commander will take measures in time to ensure his safety.

"Thanks to big data, the Fire-Rescue Department significantly enhances fire prevention and management capacity. It seems that we just save two minutes, but this period means a lot to firefighting," a commander of Guiyang Fire-Rescue Department, Nie Sheng told Huanqiu.com.

According to the municipal government, Guiyang will continue to promote the integration of big data and fire control, fully modernize the social governance.

By April 2020, Guiyang Smart Fire Control Data Platform has built a comprehensive perception system involving data of 259 high-rise buildings and 776 units. Due to the data-based solution, the Fire-Rescue Department has avoided more than 2,000 potential safety hazards by timely warning.

Taking the local Huaguoyuan Community as an example, this community has applied the big data platform for two years. The number of fire disasters ensuingly fell by 19.8% year-on-year, and direct property losses fell by 30% year-on-year.

With Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising™, powered by JustGiving®, Australia and New Zealand Social Good Organisations Can Transform Supporters into Advocates

Leave a comment

The Cloud-Based Solution Has Proven Itself a Game-Changer Across the Globe

CHARLESTON, S.C., May 13, 2021 — Blackbaud (NASDAQ: BLKB), the world’s leading cloud software company powering social good, recently announced a dynamic new way for social good organisations in Australia and New Zealand to fundraise without subscription or set-up costs. Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising™, powered by JustGiving® provides a turnkey solution that turns supporters into advocates with tools that have already helped raise billions for nonprofits around the world.

"We are incredibly excited to see nonprofits in our region reach new audiences and amplify their impact by tapping into Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, powered by JustGiving," said Kevin Sher, president and GM of Blackbaud’s operations in Asia Pacific. "This peer-to-peer fundraising solution has already proven popular in other parts of the world, including the United Kingdom and the United States, and it is starting to take off in Canada. We know it will be a game-changer here, too."

With Blackbaud Peer-to-Peer Fundraising, powered by JustGiving:

  • Social good organisations and schools can launch fundraising campaigns and fold in supporters who have the flexibility to create related pages that have easy social media integration. The solution also enables do-it-yourself fundraising opportunities for individuals and teams with easy guidance to encourage creativity and maximise results.
  • Options include community-based fundraising, in-memoriam giving, livestreaming and fitness events.
  • Donors can use mobile wallet payment options like Apple Pay® and Google Pay™ and have the ability to store their credit cards for future donations.
  • Users have seamless integration with Blackbaud eTapestry®, and robust data API connectivity for Blackbaud CRM™ and Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT® (coming soon to Australia and New Zealand), enabling back-end efficiency.
  • Anyone on an organisation’s team can design and export flexible custom reports.
  • The solution is available to all social good organisations and schools with no subscription cost, and it does not require other Blackbaud products.

Highlights from Across the Globe
School Fun Run, a cutting-edge, health-based Australian fundraising program for schools and clubs, serves to break down barriers and build up bonds through happier learning environments. The organisation is committed to helping communities lead healthier lives through three major interactive and experiential fun run events, leveraging Blackbaud to power online fundraising for schools and clubs across Australia and New Zealand. Recently, School Fun Run used the solution to power one New South Wales primary school in setting a new organisation record—raising over AU$100,000 during a single fundraising event. "Partnering with Blackbaud is one of the most significant things we have done in the 34 years of School Fun Run," said Brendan Hopp, Program Director at School Fun Run.

In July 2020, Canada’s iconic Science World used the solution to power its clever Nerd-a-thon to support vital outreach education efforts after the Vancouver attraction saw revenue plummet due to COVID-19.  "From our point of view, it was efficient, easy, secure, and allowed us to personalise the campaign for what we needed in our brand and our message," said Nancy Roper, Science World’s vice president of development. The "World Needs More Nerds" campaign raised more than CA$450,000 in six months.

In spring 2020, SAY: The Stuttering Association for the Young raised nearly US$250,000 when it used the solution to power fundraising for a live online benefit titled "Under One Moon," followed by a livestream "winter spectacular" that raised an additional US$220,000. Customised personal fundraising pages that SAY participants and other supporters linked to the event helped fuel the surge, with gift information flowing into Blackbaud’s flagship fundraising and relationship management solution, Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, and Blackbaud Merchant Services™, which SAY already had in place. Serving the US from its base in New York City, the nonprofit started SAY:Australia, its first international satellite chapter in 2019.

Pixelworks Display Technology Powers ASUS Zenfone 8 Series

Leave a comment

Leading color accuracy, DC dimming and HDR tone mapping technology delivers stunning cinematic video experience

SAN JOSE, Calif., May 13, 2021 — Pixelworks, Inc. (NASDAQ: PXLW), a leading provider of innovative video and display processing solutions, today announced that the new flagship smartphone ASUS Zenfone 8 series – the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip incorporate the Company’s leading color calibration, DC Dimming and HDR tone mapping technology to make on-screen entertainment come to life for ASUS mobile users. With HDR certification, Zenfone 8 series users can enjoy the most immersive new content from popular streaming sites, such as Amazon, Netflix and YouTube.

With Pixelworks’ advanced display technology, the new Zenfone 8 series deliver more vibrant colors and absolute color accuracy for true-to-life videos and photos, with greater contrast and detail, even when viewing in darker environments. The Company’s innovative DC dimming feature reduces flicker sometimes associated with screen dimming in dark environments, improving eye comfort while maintaining superior viewing clarity.

The Zenfone 8 is built on a beautiful 5.9" display with 120 HZ refresh rate and resolution of 1080 x 2448 pixels, while the Zenfone 8 Flip offers the same resolution in a 6.67" OLED display with a 90 Hz refresh rate. Together, the Zenfone 8 series deliver superior display performance based on visual processing technologies by Pixelworks, including the following:

  • Industry-leading HDR – The Company’s precision HDR tone mapping provides exceptional contrast and color depth with up to 1 billion hues and access to more HDR content with certification from top content providers, including Amazon, Netflix and YouTube.
  • Absolute Color Accuracy – Every Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip smartphone is factory calibrated with Pixelworks patented, high-efficiency calibration technology, producing an average delta E less than 1, which means that the human eye cannot detect any deviation from perfect color reproduction.
  • DC Dimming – Reduces eye strain and visual sensitivity that can occur at low brightness on OLED screens. To dim the screen, Pixelworks’ innovative solution dynamically adjusts the display’s current to reduce the screen flickering associated with conventional Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming.

"We are excited to see our ongoing strategic collaboration with Pixelworks continue to elevate the visual quality of Zenfone smartphones to new heights," said Bryan Chang, General Manager, Smartphone Business Unit at ASUS. "The smartphone display is the consumer’s window to the world. ASUS has always attached great importance to the display experience for our users. We made display quality the major differentiator for our Zenfone 8 series by incorporating the industry-leading visual processing technologies of Pixelworks to transform consumer entertainment into breathtaking cinematic experiences they can enjoy anywhere they go."

"We congratulate ASUS on the launch of their newest flagship series phones," said Todd DeBonis, President and CEO, Pixelworks. "The integration of our display technology in the Zenfone 8 and Zenfone 8 Flip are the latest testament to a long-standing partnership that continues to deliver standout display performance with stunning visuals for today’s mobile phone users. We look forward to our continued collaboration with ASUS as we push the boundaries of visual performance in smartphones."
