This level of growth confirms that we are on the right path in leveraging technology to democratize access to the outdoors for all.»

To commemorate the milestone, AllTrails, a 1% For The Planet member, is partnering with One Tree Planted to plant 10 thousand trees – one thousand trees for each year AllTrails has served its global community of outdoor enthusiasts.

«AllTrails’ breakout growth is representative of a larger trend of people adopting new lifestyles and looking to the outdoors,» said Ben Spero, managing director at Spectrum Equity, a growth equity firm that is AllTrails’ majority shareholder. «It’s a rare accomplishment for a consumer subscription service to reach 1 million paid subscribers, and this milestone is a testament to the unique service AllTrails provides its community in helping connect them to the outdoors and to nature,» he added.

In the past year, AllTrails has achieved:

  • One million AllTrails Pro subscribers
  • Over 25 million cumulative registered users
  • Nearly 130% year-over-year increase in daily active users
  • Publishing of nearly 200 thousand trail guides
  • Trail coverage in 190 countries, 30 territories, and all 7 continents

PEKÍN, 26 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Mientras el mundo está aún inmerso en la pandemia de COVID-19 y China aborda brotes esporádicos, los preparativos para las Olimpiadas de Invierno de Pekín 2022 han entrado en una fase crítica.  

El presidente chino Xi Jinping dijo el lunes que cree que China, con fuerte apoyo de varias partes, completará todos los preparativos previstos para asegurar que las Olimpiadas de Invierno de Pekín sean un éxito.  

El presidente Xi hizo estas declaraciones durante su conversación telefónica con el presidente Thomas Bach del Comité Olímpico Internacional (COI)

China ha implementado estrictamente medidas de contención, superado el impacto de la pandemia y promovido activamente el progreso estable de todos los preparativos, dijo Xi, añadiendo que en la actualidad la construcción de sitios e infraestructura para las Olimpiadas de Invierno de Pekín ha logrado un progreso gradual.  

Cuando Pekín ganó la puja en 2015, Bach dijo que los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno 2022 «se habían puesto en manos seguras».

Menos de 400 días tras la apertura de los Juegos de Invierno 2022 en Pekín el 4 de febrero de 2022, la construcción o reconstrucción de los 12 sitios de competición se ha completado a pesar de las incertidumbres y retos desencadenados por la COVID-19. Un ferrocarril de alta velocidad que enlace Pekín y co-aloja Zhangjiakou ya está operacional, se han recibido casi un millón de solicitudes de voluntarios y se han publicado pictogramas de los Juegos.

China se toma los preparativos para los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de Pekín como una oportunidad para promover la popularización y desarrollo de deportes de hielo y nieve, dijo Xi, añadiendo que Pekín la única ciudad del mundo que ha celebrado Olimpiadas de Verano e Invierno, realizará contribuciones únicas al Movimiento Olímpico Internacional.

Según un informe de la Universidad Renmin de China el pasado diciembre, aunque la pandemia forzó a la mitad de los encuestados con experiencia en deportes de invierno a cancelar sus planes deportivos esta temporada pasada, 150 millones de personas en China se han implicado en deportes de invierno al menos una vez desde 2019 a 2020, la mitad del objetivo de China de llegar a los 300 millones de participantes.

El informe también mostró que la cantidad de personas que siguen de cercal as noticias sobre los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno de Pekín 2022 ha aumentado firmemente desde un 6,2 por ciento en 2018 al 10,4 por ciento en 2020. En torno al 70 por ciento de los participantes han prestado atención a los Juegos en los últimos tres años a través de distintos medios.  

El presidente Xi ha dado gran importancia a los preparativos de las Olimpiadas de Invierno 2022. La semana pasada, inspeccionó los sitios y conoció los preparativos en la capital china de Pekín y la ciudad de Zhangjiakou en la provincia Hebei.

Durante su tour de inspección de Shougang Park en el distrito de Shijingshan, el sitio del Comité Organizador de Pekín para las Olimpiadas de Invierno 2022, en febrero de 2019, el presidente Xi destacó la necesidad de estar comprometido con celebrar los Juegos de un modo ecológico, basado en compartir, abierto y limpio, y completar todos los preparativos de acuerdo con altos estándares.

El COI, dijo Bach, apoya el concepto de China de celebrar unos Juegos de Invierno ecológicos, inclusivos, abiertos y limpios y se sitúa listo para trabajar con China para asegurar unos Juegos de éxito, espléndidos y seguros, que no solo llevarán a cabo la visión de promover los deportes de invierno entre los 300 millones de personas china, sino que avanzan fuertemente el desarrollo del Movimiento Olímpico internacional.

El COI sigue comprometido con mantener el espíritu olímpico y se opone a la politización del deporte, dijo Bach, añadiendo que la organización seguirá reforzando la cooperación estratégica a largo plazo con China.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Winners, Inc. (OTC «WNRS») subsidiary VegasWINNERS Inc., which provides sports betting enthusiasts with high quality analysis, research, data, guidance and professional advice, announces it will be launching an exclusive video podcast on its site this quarter featuring company CEO «The King of Vegas Sports Handicapping» Wayne Allyn Root, former Baywatch star Angelica Bridges, and other to be named celebrity hosts and handicapping experts. The interactive video podcast will give audiences an insider’s view on the fascinating worlds of sports, entertainment, and sports wagering. Guests will include a who’s who from the big screen to the grid iron; from the concert stage to the hardwood.

«No video podcast built around the sports betting industry gives its audience the combined insights and behind-the-scenes conversations from sports stars and celebrities that Angelica and I will provide,» said VegasWINNERS founder and CEO Wayne Allyn Root. «With our combined contacts of A-List athletes, actors and sports betting personalities you can bet (pun intended) we’re bringing something unique and unforgettable to every show. In addition, Angelica brings an exclusive blend of on-camera experience, select access to celebrities, and a life-long passion for sports.» 

For many years Wayne Allyn Root hosted a football handicapping show on major national cable TV networks called «The Winning Edge», which featured stars such as NFL Hall of Famers and Super Bowl champions Randy White of the Dallas Cowboys, John Riggins of the Washington Redskins and Dan Hampton of the Chicago Bears. The VegasWINNERS video podcast will take it a step further, covering all sports all year, providing its audience with online betting guidance year-round. 

Model, actress, singer and long-time sports fan Angelica played «Taylor Welsh» on Baywatch, one of the most watched television shows in the world with an estimated weekly audience of over one billion viewers. Angelica was the team captain of the Lingerie Football League’s «Las Vegas Sin» franchise and served as a sideline commentator for the league.

«I’ve been a sports fan my entire life. It’s something I’ve been passionate about and have been around for a long time,» said Angelica, former star of The Luxor Hotel and Casino show «Fantasy» in Las Vegas. «To co-host this show alongside a Vegas legend and one of America’s great sports wagering minds is a dream job. Together we’re going to give our audience access to many of today’s hottest stars and athletes with lively conversations you won’t hear anywhere else.»

The popularity of podcasts has exploded in recent years – according to Nielsen, 55% of the U.S. population has viewed or heard a podcast, up from 51% just two years ago. And the rise of video platforms shows that today’s consumers have an emotional draw to videos and are the present and the future of the internet where content is king.

In addition to providing its audience with online wagering advice, unmatched celebrity insights and conversations, the VegasWINNERS video podcast will drive more traffic to its site and provide the company with an additional revenue stream – the fourth annual IAB Podcast Advertising Revenue Report prepared by PwC, shows that U.S. podcast advertising revenues near $1 billion in 2020.

ABOUT WINNERS, INC.

Winners, Inc., through its subsidiary VegasWinners, Inc., is engaged in the business of sports gambling research, data, advice, analysis and predictions utilizing all available media, advertising formats and its database of users. Revenues are expected to accelerate due to the explosion of sports handicapping arising from the 2018 Supreme Court decision that States have the right to approve sports gambling and the resulting State by State rapid approval of sports gambling.

Designed in the «Populuxe» style, a blend between populism and luxury that evolved after World War II, the building reflects a period of America’s burgeoning middle class and its desire to travel and explore. These small, family-run properties typically included a nod to the exotic, incorporating Polynesian themes, bright signage, and pops of color to draw motorists’ attention.

With the property in need of repair, GBX Group LLC, a historic preservation real estate firm headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, completed the initial investment that led to the rehabilitation with developers Robert Lewis, Chris Rogers, Tom Prioreschi, and Will Brennan. Tim Mclendon of Columbia, S.C., oversaw the design. This historic rehabilitation of Holiday Shores conformed with the National Park Service’s historic preservation standards.

The motel originally featured a modest 22 guestrooms and a detached owner’s suite (Graham House). Interior renovations include transforming the Graham House into three additional guestrooms, new fixtures and finishes throughout the property and a new lobby. Exterior upgrades restore the motel to its mid-century glamour.

«I fell in love with this hotel at first sight and knew I wanted to stay true to the period as much as possible, yet give it a facelift at the same time,» said Mclendon. «I chose exterior colors that would make it vibrant and pop. Most of the furnishings are mid-century-inspired and the feel of one who has traveled globally on holiday…thus, Holiday Shores was reborn and revitalized!»

Holiday Shores, now rebranded as part of the Choice Ascend Collection, joins its sister property, Waikiki Village, an earlier restoration project by primarily the same ownership/development/design team, as two of only a handful of remaining drive-in motels left in the area. 

Robert Lewis, who grew up in nearby Conway, SC commented, «We’re proud to support the restoration of both motel properties. Not only do they offer meaningful cultural value to the area, but both projects contributed to community rebuilding, job creation and economic growth, all of which are catalysts for add-on development and long-term vitality.»   

Brenda Bethune, Mayor of Myrtle Beach, added, «The Holiday Shores project is yet another example of the revitalization of Myrtle Beach. The utilization of State and Federal historic preservation incentives to bring new life to our mid-century buildings will change the landscape of our city for generations to come.»

Holiday Shores and Waikiki Village motels are managed by Coakley & Williams (CW) Hotel Management Company of Linthicum Heights, Maryland, the preeminent provider of comprehensive hotel management services with a property portfolio that represents great hotel brands such as Hilton, IHG, Best Western, Choice and Wyndham, as well as, independent boutique hotels, in many of the nation’s highest-performing hotel markets.

«We are thrilled to have been selected as the management company for these incredible projects and partners with this development group. Having managed successful hotels in the Myrtle Beach market in the past, we are committed to maximizing the revenue opportunities at both properties and have a proven track record,» said Mark Williams, CEO of Coakley & Williams. Williams continued, «In an effort to immediately increase exposure and join a leading reservation property management system, we franchised the property with Choice Hotels, one of the largest hotel chains in the world, making it part of their exclusive Ascend Collection.»

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Bbot Inc., a restaurant and hospitality tech startup dedicated to simplifying and improving the ordering and payment process, today announced the closing of a $4 million seed extension funding round. Rally Ventures, a national leader in early-stage business technology investing, led the round, with participation from existing investor Craft Ventures, an early-stage venture fund. With this latest seed extension round, the company’s total funding is now $7.3 million.

The financing will allow Bbot to hire new talent, accelerate its product development and deepen its focus on providing exceptional service to its hundreds of hospitality customers. In 2021, the company will deliver a new feature that reinvents the traditional bar tab by allowing guests and servers to both add to and place orders on a joint tab. Additionally, this year Bbot plans to release its own API, to give hospitality tech partners the ability to build on the Bbot infrastructure.

«We are proud to partner with restaurants, bars and hotels to provide technology solutions that help them make their operations more efficient, convenient and safer for guests, as we navigate the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for what’s next,» said Steven Simoni, CEO of Bbot. «Making our robust and configurable platform available to other industry partners through our own API was a natural next step and opportunity to deepen our exposure within the industry. With this additional funding in place, we will be able to continue to grow Bbot’s reach and deliver a more seamless experience to all of our hospitality customers.»

Founded in 2017, Bbot helps restaurants, bars, hotels, food halls and other hospitality organizations create digital menus and enable guest-controlled ordering and payment. With Bbot, guests can easily access menus and pay through any smartphone by using QR or location codes right from their tables at the venue. No sign up or app download is required. The company recently won the Hotel Tech Report Award for best in mobile ordering & room service.

«Bbot has a truly impressive infrastructure and has out-built other, more seasoned tech companies in their category by a long shot, with a fraction of the resources,» said Justin Kaufenberg, managing director of Rally Ventures. «In the wake of COVID-19, the hospitality industry has a bigger need than ever for seamless technology solutions that can help them streamline operations and increase their margins. Bbot is well-positioned and proven to help them achieve both.»

«We’re excited to work with Rally Ventures and Bbot to support the evolution of the hospitality industry,» said Jeff Fluhr, general partner at Craft Ventures. «Our continued investment in Bbot reflects our confidence in the company’s ability to expand their footprint, develop exciting technology, and serve as a valuable partner to the hospitality industry as they navigate a new normal.»

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Fifty women today signed a letter in the New York Times, led by Girls Who Code founder and CEO Reshma Saujani, calling on the Biden Administration to create a task force dedicated to implementing a «Marshall Plan for Moms,» to pay mothers for their unpaid, unseen labor and to pass policies addressing parental leave, affordable childcare, and pay equity.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Fifty women today signed a letter in the New York Times, led by Girls Who Code founder and CEO Reshma Saujani, calling on the Biden Administration to create a task force dedicated to implementing a «Marshall Plan for Moms,» to pay mothers for their unpaid, unseen labor and to pass policies addressing parental leave, affordable childcare, and pay equity.

«This is not an isolated incident—it is a national crisis.»

«This pandemic has absolutely decimated the careers of working moms across the country,» said Reshma Saujani, founder and CEO of Girls Who Code. «This is not an isolated incident—it is a national crisis, and we can start to address it within the first 100 days of this Administration.»

According to a report from the National Women’s Law Center, more than 2 million women have left the U.S. workforce since the COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020. A December 2020 report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics indicated that women were leaving the workforce at four times the rate of men.

«In December, all the jobs lost in the U.S. economy were lost by women,» said Saujani. «And the situation is particularly bad for Black women, 154,000 of whom left the workforce entirely. We need to put in place a plan for moms, and we need it now.»

«Sound crazy? It’s not,» says the letter—which ran as a full page ad in The New York Times today. «It’s time to put a dollar figure on our labor. Motherhood isn’t a favor and it’s not a luxury. It’s a job. The first 100 days are an opportunity to define our values. So let’s start by valuing moms.»

The women who signed onto the letter are as follows: Toyin Ajayi, Cityblock Health; Katia Beauchamp, Birchbox; Katie Bethell, Paid Leave for the US (PL + US); Connie Britton; Jean Brownhill, Sweeten; Tarana Burke, ‘me too.’ Movement; Melissa Butler, The Lip Bar; Claudia Chan, S.H.E. Summit; Julia Collins, Planet FWD; Dr. Dara Kass; Tiffany Dufu, The Cru; Anu Duggal, Female Founders Fund; Sarah Eagle Heart, Eagle Heart Collectiv; Crystal Echo Hawk, Executive Director, IllumiNative; Sarah Sophie Flicker, Artist and Activist; Liuba Grechen Shirley, Vote Mama; Mindy Grossman, WW International, Inc.; Desiree Gruber, Full Picture; Sarah Harden, Hello Sunshine; Naomi Hirabayashi, Shine; Chelsea Hirschhorn, Frida Mom; Jennifer Hyman, Rent the Runway; Payal Kadakia, Classpass; Sallie Krawcheck, Ellevest; Maria Teresa Kumar, VotoLatino; Marisa Renee Lee, Beacon Advisors; Cindi Leive, The Meteor; Marah Lidey, Shine; Eva Longoria; Alexis McGill Johnson, Planned Parenthood; Paola Mendoza, Artist, Filmmaker and Activist; Alyssa Milano; Julianne Moore; Ana Ortiz; Hitha Palepu, #5SmartReads; Dee Poku, The WIE Suite; Mónica Ramirez, Activist and Organizer; Geena Rocero, Transgender Advocate; Eve Rodsky, Author, Fair Play; Katherine Ryder, Maven; Reshma Saujani, Girls Who Code; Amy Schumer; Rachel Sklar, TheLuckiest.com; Tabitha St. Bernard-Jacobs; Women’s March, Amber Tamblyn; Charlize Theron; Salamishah Tillet, A Long Walk Home; Gabrielle Union; Alexa von Tobel, Inspired Capital; Whitney Wolfe Herd, Bumble.

For more information, visit www.marshallplanformoms.com.

The full text of the full page ad in The New York Times reads as follows:

Dear President Biden:

You know this well: moms are the bedrock of society. And we’re tired of working for free.

We need a Marshall Plan for Moms — now.

Like the original Marshall Plan of 1948, this plan would be a financial investment in rebuilding from the ground up.

COVID has decimated so many of our careers. Two million of us have left the workforce, at a rate of four times that of men in September alone. Millions more have been forced to cut back our hours or work around the clock to keep our jobs and be full-time caregivers.

This is not an isolated incident — it is a national crisis. You didn’t create this problem, but your administration has an opportunity to fix it. In your first 100 days, we’re asking you to: 

Establish a task force to create a Marshall Plan for Moms.

Implement a short-term monthly payment to moms depending on needs and resources.

Pass long overdue policies like paid family leave, affordable childcare and pay equity.

Sound crazy? It’s not.

It’s time to put a dollar figure on our labor. Motherhood isn’t a favor and it’s not a luxury. It’s a job.

The first 100 days are an opportunity to define our values. So let’s start by valuing moms.
