Sanya Joins Forces with Trip.com, Genshin Impact, and Juneyao Air for Live Stream on Flight

On December 28th, a flight themed around the open-world role-playing game Genshin Impact flew from Shanghai to Sanya. The flight was operated by Juneyao Air, and on the flight, there was a joint live-streaming event held in collaboration with the Sanya Tourism Promotion Board (STPB), Trip.com, and Genshin Impact. Using in-flight WiFi, live streamers from Trip.com broadcast their exciting content from the cabin up in the sky, introducing Sanya’s seasonal entertainment and attractions, and delivering gifts and prizes to passengers on the flight. This was part of a drive by STPB to attract Generation Z (Gen Z) tourists in the ever-changing and competitive tourism market. In addition to bringing live streaming to the skies, the themed flight also included strong elements of Genshin Impact and Sanya as part of the plane’s decor, adding a touch of vibrancy to the flight. Genshin Impact is an adventure role-playing game developed and published by miHoYo. The game takes place in an anime-based open world called Teyvat, where characters can roam freely. It saw 23 million downloads on mobile platforms within a week after its debut release in 2020, and has gained a legion of fans, especially among the Gen Z demographic. Genshin Impact is popular with the Gen Z demographic around the world. For Sanya, Genshin Impact is an ideal choice to work with as the city is upgrading its tourism resources to garner more attention from young tourists and international visitors. With tourism recovery expectations ahead, the STPB plans to conduct a series of initiatives to present Sanya as an international destination to audiences worldwide. Boasting all year-round warm weather, spectacular scenery, and diverse experiences, Sanya is the perfect backdrop for work, travel, and play. In recent times, the STPB has focused on cultivating new tourism opportunities and hotspots to attract different types of travelers to Sanya. With surfing, camping, diving, and other trendy sports becoming increasingly popular among young people, the outdoor lifestyle is becoming closely associated with Sanya, as the city continues to cater towards a younger demographic. Tourism destinations represented by Sanya have recently experienced rapid growth. According to data from Trip.com’s FlightAI platform, tourists from various destinations flocked to Sanya from December 20 to December 27, with Sanya Phoenix Airport ranking fifth in China in terms of civil aviation passenger traffic, while the year-on-year recovery rate in passenger traffic is ranked among the top four of all airports in China. As China eases its restrictions for inbound tourists in 2023, the STPB will focus on highlighting new attractions in the tourist destination and preparing an exciting lineup of events to attract new international travelers, as well as enticing travelers who have previously visited to return.

FierceCrowd NFT, leveraging the Web3 field to increase access to education – Now Open for Mint

Dubai, UAE, July 19, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – With a collection of 1,500 handpicked NFTs now open for mint on their website, FierceCrowd’s aim is to use Web3 technology to create a positive impact in the real world. The technology behind NFTs and Why it matters? Blockchain technology: A blockchain is a digital ledger, consisting of records called blocks that are used to record transactions and track assets. It is decentralized, distributed and most of all, public. Social impact and Web3: Blockchain technology, because of its benefits cuts out the middle-man and enables full financial inclusion – despite a person’s current circumstances. With the rise of NFTs, any individual now has a chance to mint their own work and sell it on an NFT marketplace, or buy and own valuable tokens themselves through the same Web3 platforms. Many have found their lives flipped upside down because of those new technologies. FierceCrowd NFT aims on creating change by bringing some of those opportunities back into the real world…Despite the current market situation. “Just because Bitcoin went from 60K to 20K doesn’t mean the underlying technology has lost value” – FC founder states. According to the FierceCrowd team, blockchain technology, decentralization and Web3 as a whole remain powerful innovative tools. A bear market does not put into question the value of those underlying technologies, the way they are currently being used though, maybe. With a combination of 560 attributes, including over 250 hairstyles, 60 backgrounds, and 18 skin tones, FierceCrowd aims to emphasize the concept of inclusion in the digital/generative art field. With many projects claiming they strive to create change but with no real long-term projects to do so, FierceCrowd’s roadmap lines up real steps the team intends on taking in order to reach that goal. Through NFTs and blockchain technology, social impact projects finally have a space to grow while offering something in return to the contributing people. FierceCrowd Goals: Social impact FierceCrowd intends on contributing to the fields of education and human rights by collaborating with international organizations through donations but also by creating their own channels of support such as a platform connecting sponsors, schools/universities, and people who, for various reasons, lack access to education. Our objectives also involve the creation of a school in partnership with Build On, an organization focused on creating schools in developing countries. Giveaways In addition to contributing to FC’s social impact objectives, every FierceCrowd NFT owner carries the chance of being awarded 1ETH if they mint 5+ NFTs. The winner will be announced once all 1,500 NFTs have been sold. 15 lucky collectors will also be chosen randomly to receive an FC book handcrafted by the founding team to express gratitude and infiltrate the holders’ physical worlds. FC plans to launch its own line of merchandise, a collection of gender-neutral lounging sets available in sizes XXS to XXL. Every collector will automatically be qualified to win one of 50 pieces of clothing items. Joining the Metaverse FierceCrowd promises constant improvement through innovation to create the safest environment for the community members. The team is focused on expanding into the digital world. Once all NFTs are minted, FierceCrowd will join the Metaverse. Community wallet Furthermore, 5% of the project’s primary sales will be allocated to a community wallet, allowing the community members to collectively invest in bigger projects. Through this, people will get a chance to be one of the owners of a blue-chip project. FierceCrowd is a humanitarian project with a number of ambitious missions, Shaped by the progress made, the organization’s goals will grow and develop with time. FierceCrowd’s aim Many people have been deprived of opportunities due to circumstances beyond their control, such as the political environment of the country in which they live or lived, their financial situation, brain challenges, and more.

Teijin and Fujitsu Agree to Jointly Develop Blockchain-based Commercial Platform to Promote Sustainable Use of Recycled Materials

TOKYO, Jul 12, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Teijin Limited (hereinafter Teijin) and Fujitsu Limited today launched a joint project to realize a blockchain-based commercial platform for enhancing the environmental value of recycled materials for manufacturers. The collaboration will promote environmentally conscious design(1) by leveraging Teijin's Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) Calculation Method for measuring the environmental impact of manufacturing processes across the value chain, as well as Fujitsu's blockchain technology to collect and track primary data on environmental impact (including GHG emissions) to deliver reliable, transparent traceability.Image of platform for enhancing the environmental value of recycled materialsThe new platform will promote the use of recycled materials and environmentally friendly designs by providing manufacturers who design products from recycled materials with accurate information about their environmental footprint, including proof of origin of recycled materials and data on GHG emissions.This joint effort demonstrates the two companies' commitment to contributing to the realization of the common global goal of a carbon-neutral future for humanity.BackgroundMeasuring and reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing processes as well as enhancing the environmental value of recycled materials represents an ongoing challenge for players in the manufacturing industry.To this end, manufacturers are increasingly introducing LCA throughout the life cycle of products, disclosing evaluation results, and taking proactive measures to obtain environmental labels(2) as part of their environmental impact management strategies. The introduction of stricter environmental regulations in Europe in particular requires companies to not only adjust to additional requirements in the manufacturing process, but also to focus on environmentally friendly designs and materials. In particular, fiber reinforced plastics (FRP), which are increasingly used for industrial purposes particularly in the transportation field such as aircraft and electric vehicles (EVs), will require more advanced, environmentally conscious design efforts in the future.To achieve these goals, both the government and the private sector are actively working to regulate waste disposal and develop improved recycling technologies. However, transparency and traceability of recycled materials remain an ongoing challenge, and demand for solutions for reliable information management is expected to grow amidst trends to institutionalize the verification of the usage of recycled resources.To address this issue, Teijin and Fujitsu started collaboration on a blockchain-based commercial platform to promote sustainable use of recycled materials and provide manufacturers with reliable and transparent information on the origin of recycled resources and data on GHG emissions.Outline of the joint projectTeijin has established a method for calculating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from carbon fiber and aramid fiber manufacturing processes and is also promoting initiatives related to FRP recycling. Fujitsu has a strong track record in building systems using blockchain technologies that ensure high transparency and traceability and makes it virtually impossible to falsify information.Features of the new platform- The new platform will improve the reliability and the environmental value of recycled materials by leveraging Fujitsu's blockchain technology to collect and trace primary data on environmental impact (including GHG emissions) across the value-chain- The new platform will promote the use of recycled materials and environmentally friendly designs by providing manufacturers who design products from recycled materials with environmental impact information, including proof of origin of recycled materials and highly reliable GHG emissionsFuture plansAs a first step in their collaboration, Teijin and Fujitsu will start full-scale trials with the aim of realizing business in the FRP field within fiscal 2022. Based on the results of these trials, the two companies will consider expanding the scope of the project for other types of materials.Moving forward, Teijin and Fujitsu will continue to contribute to the materials industry as a starting point for the realization of a "circular economy" and will promote environmentally conscious design in society by promoting the use of reliable recycled materials.The two parties will further promote discussions and field trials with partner companies and organizations that support this initiative to contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality on a corporate and global level.In order to realize a sustainable society, Teijin will provide innovative, people-centered solutions that improve peoples' quality of life. Teijin will further strive to mitigate the impact of its business activities on the environment and society to realize its long-term vision "to be a company that supports the society of the future." Fujitsu is promoting "Sustainable Manufacturing" to achieve growth through the coexistence of people and the earth as one of its key focus areas under its global business brand, Fujitsu Uvance.(1) Environmentally conscious design:Design that takes into account the entire life cycle of a product and aims to reduce its environmental impact(2) Environmental label:A mark that informs purchasers of how products and services contribute to the reduction of environmental impactAbout the Teijin GroupTeijin (TSE: 3401) is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the fields of environmental value; safety, security and disaster mitigation; and demographic change and increased health consciousness.

Philanthropic Project, Impact Women NFTs, Launches to Combat Domestic Violence in Brazil

Florianópolis, Brazil, April 1, 2022- (SEAPRWire) – Impact Women NFT, a philanthropic project displaying exquisite artworks handmade by a talented artist, has announced the launch of its NFT project. Aimed at combating domestic violence in the previously mentioned South American country, these beautifully crafted NFTs were created by renowned, talented, and award-winning illustrator Manu Cunhas. Designed by Brazilian fintech to fight the scourge of domestic violence and abuse of women, Impact Women NFT will raise funds for non-profit organizations to take a stand against women’s abuse on all levels. Current statistics show that domestic violence is at an all-time high. Brazil sits fifth in the ranking of homicides globally; one woman gets raped every eleven minutes. Five hundred and three women suffer aggression every hour, one woman gets killed every two hours, and five beatings occur every two minutes. Impact Women NFT is fighting to put an end to these crimes. Profit Shared to Non-profit Organization, Artist, and Project Producer Split into phases, the first one comprising 20 excellent, awe-inspiring, and elegantly designed artworks of remarkable and high-impact women in history, each of these NFT auctions will greatly benefit non-profit organizations. The goal of the first phase is to raise 30 ETH, ten in auction mode starting at the price of 0.15 ETH and ten in 50 units for a fixed fee of 0.05 ETH. Impact Women NFT has hand-picked eight exciting and industrious non-profits aggressively fighting violence against women in Brazil. 70% of profits garnered from these NFTs sales will be set aside for organizations, 12% to support Manu Cunhas, another 12% for Doare—the project producer and social enterprise company—and 6% for carbon credits through MOSS. The campaign will end on May 31st, 2022, and Impact Women NFT will offer rewards and surprises like special parties and airdrops in the metaverse. A project where art meets philanthropy, Impact Women NFT, will share stories of amazing women that have changed society. The founding team selects ten Brazilian and international women to show respect and admiration for the work they have put in. An Ambitious Roadmap Built on sustainability and longevity, Impact Women NFT has introduced a viable and strategic roadmap comprising detailed future events. Divided into separate phases, Impact Women NFT plans to run a decentralized autonomous organization [DAO], create and launch a native token, and a non-profit crypto fund to support organizations combating domestic violence and other forms of abuse against women. Additionally, Impact Women NFT will continue to create and release amazing, unique, well-designed, and aesthetically pleasing artworks to support life-changing non-profits.

The Impact of Cryptocurrency Adoption on Government

Ireland, May 19, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Cryptocurrency use is growing exponentially, and governments may want to consider the benefits. Why are blockchain and cryptocurrency so popular right now? Why have business whales and finance execs invested large cash reserves into cryptocurrency? They hope to benefit from this colossal opportunity. Visual Capitalist, in an April 2021 article, remarks that Bitcoin, compared to other tech companies, is the fastest asset to reach a $1 Trillion market cap.In March of 2020, Bitcoin's price was coming in at around $3K. As of May 11, 2021, Bitcoin was $56,551.44. Per coin. And Bitcoin is only one of over 4,000 cryptocurrencies according to Investopedia in a January 2021 article. This growing trend presents a new challenge for governments. Cryptocurrency sits on top of a technology called blockchain. Blockchain is a database network that supports the transfer of value in a digital format. It is an independent system not owned by any institution, individual, bank, or entity, (read, government). As more cash moves into this crypto arena, governments will lose visibility and control of their national currency. How will that affect them?The Government Blockchain Association, (GBA)?s Tax Working Group has written a Whitepaper entitled, 'The Impact of Cryptocurrency Adoption on Government'. This 138-page document is the result of a full year's worth of research and analysis, done by a team of authors with expertise in tax risk analysis, data, research analytics, cryptocurrency, digital assets, business, and blockchain. This report was not financed by any major corporation or interest group. The authors were all volunteers and were not influenced by a sponsor?s desired outcome. This paper was written to find an answer to a question.How will this monumental transfer of fiat money into cryptocurrency affect governments and their citizens? Be assured, it will affect them, and the governments that understand this change can better prepare for what is coming.The Impact of Cryptocurrency Adoption on Government whitepaper is available for download purchase.About The Government Blockchain Association GBAThe Government Blockchain Association GBA is a non-profit business association with chapters in 120 cities around the world and over 50 Working Groups, where the public and private sectors can connect, communicate, and collaborate.Source: Plato Data Intelligence.

Government Blockchain Association (GBA) Announces the First Release of “The Impact of Cryptocurrency Adoption on Government”

Washington, D.C., Apr 26, 2021 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Tax Working Group of the Government Blockchain Association (GBA) today announced the first release of "The Impact of Cryptocurrency Adoption on Government." This study, developed by an international panel of government and private sector experts, examines the adoption of cryptocurrency around the world and determines the impact it may have on governments. The study is intended to provide public and private sector leaders with the information needed to understand cryptocurrency trends and recommend potential courses of action.While the world is navigating uncharted waters as the global pandemic introduces many challenges to national economies, governments are especially vulnerable to the changing tides that threaten established norms. The very definition of money itself is changing. As in many times of crises, there are opportunities to explore new ways of doing things that end up improving people's lives. "We are witnessing a rapidly growing phenomenon in the world of cryptocurrencies, as it is trending toward total market capitalization of the world's largest technology companies. If this trend continues, there is no doubt that the future of money, governance, and the law will change forever," says Mark Montoya, Chief Data Officer at the Government Blockchain Association.But what will this mean for governments?"To understand this phenomenon, we need to start asking questions about cryptocurrency. If the cryptocurrency trend persists over the next ten years, what is the impact on the global financial system? If significant transactions bypass traditional financial institutions, how will governments manage their economies and enforce their laws? Will cryptocurrency complement the payment systems, compete with them, or even replace them?" says Ksenija Cipek, Head of Tax Risk Analysis at the Ministry of Finance of Croatia.- Background and Research Approach. The study discusses the impact of cryptocurrency adoption on the following areas of government: regulation, ethics, privacy, jurisdictions, economy, enforcement, and taxation.- Trends in Adoption of Cryptocurrency and Government Impacts. Governments have embarked on many different initiatives ranging from Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) development projects to authorizing cryptocurrency custodial services for banks and drafting new cryptocurrency regulations. This study shows how and in what ways the evolution impacts government and the broader public sector, region by region, country by country.To download the report, please visit www.GBAglobal.org/cmp.About GBAThe Government Blockchain Association (GBA) is an international professional association focused on blockchain-related technologies, opportunities, and challenges in the public sector.
