Game, Set, Match! Swimply Makes Tennis Court Rentals Easy and Affordable for Aussies

Leave a comment

Swimply’s launch of tennis courts provides a high-end and affordable tennis experience for all to enjoy

SYDNEY, May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Swimply, the innovative online pool sharing platform, today announced its newest category with the launch of private court rentals. Building on the success of its private pool experiences, Swimply is now bringing its unique brand to tennis enthusiasts in New South Wales and Victoria, offering affordable private tennis courts that make it easier than ever to enjoy the popular sport.

For many tennis players, practising on public courts can be a daunting experience due to the presence of skilled players, coaches – not to mention, often long waiting times to book a court. Swimply’s new tennis courts offer a perfect solution by providing players with accessible, affordable and convenient courts that prioritise privacy and give players the ability to enjoy playing with confidence at their own pace and skill level.

“Cost and difficulty of finding access to courts has been a major barrier for many players,” said Swimply CEO, Bunim Laskin. “With our launch into tennis, we’re thrilled to be able to provide Australians with an affordable and easy way to access these facilities, while also helping homeowners to monetise their underutilised assets.”

“Australians love tennis and if we can capture 2% of the private courts in Australia that will disproportionately positively impact the number of accessible courts by 10%,” said Swimply Australia Managing Director, Sam McDonagh.

“As a tennis fanatic, I’m delighted to see Swimply launch tennis courts. I play tennis rain, hail or shine, and unfortunately it can be pretty hard to get a court during the latter. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven past pristine, empty courts in beautiful homes around Sydney and wished I could jump on. Well, now we all can. You’ll never have to worry about not being able to get a court again. Australians are now able to play on stunning, high end tennis courts, in the best areas, all round Australia, in private. Every tennis tragic’s dream,” said Darren McMullen, television personality and Swimply brand ambassador.

Whether looking to get family and friends together for a fun day out, or wanting to get more practice time in, Swimply’s user-friendly booking system offers a wide range of options for players to find and book private tennis courts starting from just $18 per hour. From elegant backyard setups to sprawling estates with immaculate grounds that emulate an exclusive country club atmosphere, guests can even book a court and a pool at the same time for the ultimate luxurious escape.

Swimply’s expansion into tennis courts is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to making private leisure facilities accessible and affordable for everyone. By connecting homeowners with guests, Swimply is creating a win-win situation that benefits both parties and helps to unlock the full potential of these valuable assets.

CCTV+: Stories of Xi and his mother: a parent’s lifelong influence on her son

Leave a comment

BEIJING, May 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — For Chinese President Xi Jinping, his mother Qi Xin has set an outstanding example in many ways for her son and played a crucial role in shaping the values and priorities of a future leader of the country.

Qi, who was born in 1926, joined the Communist Party of China (CPC) in 1943 at the age of 17, becoming a staunch supporter of the Party’s values and beliefs.

“Parents and seniors should pass on good morals to their children when they are little, helping them build moral integrity and a sense of goodwill, so that they can grow into a person who can contribute to the country and the general public,” she once said.

Qi led a simple life, which became a tradition for the family. Despite many difficulties, she managed to balance taking care of the family and her work.

Xi has cherished a lifelong goal in his heart based on his memories of illustrated story books his mother bought him about Yue Fei, a legendary Chinese general who fought against invaders to protect his people during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).

Qi told Xi, who was then around five years old, how Yue Fei’s mother tattooed her son’s back with four Chinese characters “jing zhong bao guo”, which literally translates as “serve the country with the utmost loyalty,”, so that Yue would never forget the responsibilities placed on his shoulders.

Being a loyal and loving son, Xi used to chat and take a walk with his mother whenever he had time. But to Qi, the greatest display of filial love was Xi doing his best on his job and serving the people wholeheartedly.

Over the years, Xi’s political career has taken him from Shaanxi in the country’s northwest, to Hebei Province in the north, Fujian, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the east, and eventually Beijing. In all those places, his work and contributions have been fondly remembered and applauded by the local people.

For Xi, family and family traditions have become a solid foundation in the process of state administration. Many years later, he still remembers his mother’s wisdom and firmly follows his original aspirations that she helped shape.

WuKong Education Joins Asian American Authors to Celebrate AAPI Heritage Month by Matching Book Donations to US K-12 Schools

Leave a comment

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — WuKong Education, a leading online education technology company with over 300,000 students worldwide, joins four Asian American authors to donate 1,500+ books to 100 US K-12 schools during Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. As WuKong Education marks its seventh anniversary, the brand launches additional offerings to showcase its diverse and inclusive values.

Among the many groups who were honoring AAPI Heritage Month in May, two groups of likeminded educators initiated book drives aiming to inspire children to see themselves as heroes.

From WuKong Education’s new headquarters in Silicon Valley, the team coordinated with rural schools in Asia to set up book corners for disadvantaged children. Since WuKong Education’s inception in 2016, the company’s online classes have expanded to 300,000 families in 118 countries with the focus of teaching Chinese as a second language. As the majority of WuKong students’ families share a common root in Asia, rural schools in Indonesia and Thailand were chosen to host reading corners with hundreds of new books.

Meanwhile, in New York, Massachusetts, and Washington State, four Asian American authors, Yobe Qiu, Serena Li, Vincent Yee, and Tracy Guan met over Zoom to plan the “Asian American Books, Everywhere All at Once” book drive. Inspired by the Oscar-winning movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” the authors’ goal was to send 500 books to 25 schools in the US. This is crucial, as less than 15% of books published feature an AAPI character.

Rebecca Deng, Head of Marketing for North America at WuKong Education, saw both great causes. “We wanted to do something to make it even bigger and better. I knew more schools would love to receive AAPI books,” said Deng, who is a mother of two. With WuKong Education’s matched donation, 1,500+ books will be donated to 100 schools during AAPI Heritage Month.

In addition, WuKong Education will support the Disney+ series “American Born Chinese,” starring Daniel Wu who plays Sun Wukong. During the series’ release in May, WuKong Education will give away Disney+ annual memberships to lucky WuKong students, allowing more children to see themselves as heroes in mainstream media. These activities demonstrate WuKong Education’s values and social responsibility to the AAPI community, as well as provide all students with richer learning and cultural experiences.

Founded in New Zealand in 2016, WuKong Education was one of the first companies to enter the Chinese language online education field. In 2021, the company launched WuKong Math to help improve young learners’ logical thinking, problem solving, and comprehensive mathematical abilities. As part of its seventh anniversary, WuKong Education plans to launch English Language Arts classes, as requested by its students, 88% of whom speak English as their first language. This summer, students will be able to take WuKong Chinese, WuKong Math, and WuKong English with WuKong’s network of 3,000+ teachers.

Delivering a host of updates for privacy, security, performance, and user customization, Android 14 promises to further enhance the CAMON 20 series’ user experience.

HONG KONG, DUBAI, UAE and ABUJA, Nigeria, May 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Global innovative brand TECNO just confirmed to be one of the first smartphone manufacturers to offer Google’s Android 14 Beta release and will run it on its latest launched CAMON 20 series this fall, bringing a range of upgrades and enhancements to elevate the CAMON 20 series’ total experience to greater heights. Android 14 aims to further enhance the CAMON 20 series’ user experience by delivering a host of privacy, security, performance, and user customization updates.

“Guided by its brand essence of ‘Stop At Nothing’, TECNO is committed to unlocking the best and newest technologies for forward-looking individuals from hardware and design innovations to the latest software developments. As such, we’re delighted to be continuing our long-term partnership with Google to bring Android 14 Beta to the newest CAMON 20 Series, which allows our users to be among the first to experience the pleasures of the new features on Android 14.” said Jack Guo, General Manager of TECNO.

The recently launched CAMON 20 series delivers a winning combination of high-performance photography, unique design elements and an outstanding user experience. Featuring 5000 times/second Sensor-Shift OIS Anti-Shaking Technology and a 50MP RGBW Ultra Sensitive Sensor, CAMON 20 Premier 5G is a master of both nighttime photography and steady portrait video. Meanwhile, TECNO’s MUSE Design Award-winning CAMON PUZZLE Deconstructionist Design sees the CAMON 20 series challenge the industry’s traditionally minimalist aesthetic, fusing three-dimensional ribbed Magic Skin and advanced ceramic material in an innovative back cover.

Delivering a host of upgrades for privacy, security, performance, and user customization, the Android 14 Beta will help to further enhance the CAMON 20 series’ user experience in ways such as –

  • Higher Privacy Level – Starting with Android 14, apps with a target Sdk Version lower than 23 cannot be installed, making it harder for malware to avoid such security and privacy improvements. Ultimately, it serves to help improve security and privacy for smartphone users.
  • Longer Battery Life- Android 14’s updated functionality enables the system to better handle the background tasks, downloads, and uploads, etc., which in turn improves the system efficiency to reduce power drain for longer battery life.
  • Larger Fonts and Smarter Scaling – To provide low-vision users with better accessibility options, Android 14 allows larger font scaling. A non-linear scaling curve strategy ensures large text and small text elements scale at different rates to prevent large elements from scaling too much, while also preserving the proportional hierarchy between elements of different sizes.

NordVPN Study: 90% of Hong Kong residents use smartphones while on the toilet

Leave a comment

This is the biggest result compared to other countries surveyed

LONDON, May 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A recent survey by the cybersecurity company NordVPN revealed that as much as 90% of Hong Kong residents bring their smartphones with them into the toilet. That’s the biggest result of all other surveyed countries. While most Hong Kong people (61.1%) scroll through social media during that time, barely anyone thinks of growing threats online and hackers’ attempts to compromise people’s phones.

“Hong Kong people seem to need smartphones a lot. Our previous survey already showed that people of Hong Kong spend a lot of time online — more than 44 years per lifetime, which is a half of their lives,” says Ugne Mikalajunaite, a country manager for Hong Kong at NordVPN. “Even though the majority (80%) name smartphones as the device that tracks their online behavior the most, Hong Kong residents still haven’t developed good cyber habits to protect their online lives,” she says.

Using social media and gaming — top activities for Hong Kong residents while on the toilet

The majority of Hong Kong people admit that their time on the toilet is mostly spent scrolling through social media (61.1%), gaming (40.3%), and watching videos, movies, or television programs (36.5%).

Among other activities, Hong Kong residents also listen or read news (34.3%), call and message people (31.3%), and shopping online (21.4%).

Cybersecurity refresher for Hong Kong

Ugne Mikalajunaite, a country manager for Hong Kong at NordVPN, shares key tips on protecting your phone on and off the john:

  • Keep apps and the phone’s operating system (OS) up to date. Don’t skip software updates.
  • Do your research. Never download unknown apps — read up on them first.
  • Avoid unofficial app stores. They’re more likely to contain malware-ridden apps.
  • Avoid using unknown Wi-Fi. And always use a VPN when you do.
  • Be vigilant. Don’t click on suspicious links, don’t give out your number to strangers, and be wary of unknown numbers.

Methodology: The survey was commissioned by NordVPN and conducted by the external company Cint on February 13-22, 2023. The survey’s target group was residents of France, USA, the UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Lithuania, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore aged 18+ (nationally representative), except for Lithuania (18-74) and the sample was taken from national internet users.

Akamai Brand Protector inspects trillions of digital activities a day across both internal and external sources to discover abuse of an organization’s brand – often before an attack campaign launches. This shields businesses from revenue loss and increased risk by combating fake goods sales, phishing sites and unauthorized use of brand elements outside of its environment and across the internet.

Brand Protector addresses the problem of fraudulent impersonations with a four-step approach:

  • Intelligence: As the world’s largest distributed edge and cloud platform, our proprietary view across the worldwide web traffic analyzes over 600 TB of data a day. The depth of intelligence in Brand Protector is enhanced with third-party data feeds for holistic visibility into attacker actions everywhere.
  • Detection: Today’s brand attacks automate the deployment of malicious, short-lived websites. Akamai Brand Protector traces live traffic to detect brand abuse often before a phishing campaign begins – instead of relying on refreshed lists or delayed feeds. The outcome reduces attack impact, protecting customers and brand trust.
  • Visibility: Customer-centric design gives security teams vital security insight in a single dashboard view. After receiving intelligence, data signals are run through a series of heuristic and AI detectors. Akamai’s simplified user interface provides an instant understanding of real-time threats to customers via impersonations. Findings are ranked by threat score and users click into an alert to view analyzed threat data including confidence score, severity rating, number of affected users and a timeline of attack events.
  • Mitigation: Integrated takedown services help close the loop to combat brand fraud. Brand Protector enables security teams to issue a takedown request of the abusive site right in the detection screen. Takedown requests for Brand Protector automatically attach the detection’s evidence and supporting details for ease of use.

“Attackers are increasingly abusing trusted brand names to lure end-users through phishing and fake sites for the promise of financial gain,” said Rupesh Chokshi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Application Security at Akamai. “Detecting the rapid deployment of these attack campaigns and mitigating them can be a challenge for global brands. Brand Protector retains customer loyalty and revenue by addressing these external attack campaigns before they can gain momentum.”
