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.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Springbuk, a health data analytics software company whose mission is to «prevent disease with data™,» announced remarkable growth metrics in 2020 as it worked with a record number of employers and brokers in providing health and benefits insights that…

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Springbuk, a health data analytics software company whose mission is to «prevent disease with data™,» announced remarkable growth metrics in 2020 as it worked with a record number of employers and brokers in providing health and benefits insights that enable faster decisions, real-time changes, and better health benefits plans.

In 2020, Springbuk added over 1,000 new customers, including a significant number of enterprise employers — growth that shatters previous years’ gains.

«We saw an increased demand for Springbuk’s Health Intelligence platform as employers urgently needed data-informed insights to adapt to market chaos and uncertainty in planning for 2021 and beyond,» said Rod Reasen, CEO of Springbuk. «We continued to invest in the depth and breadth of our application around data science to deliver actionable insights within our platform, solving the largest needs of our customers.»

Not only is Springbuk growing at a torrid pace, but it also boasted a 96% retention rate of business in 2020 — in a year when many other technology solutions struggled in the economic downturn.

As Springbuk continues to grow its customer base, the amount of insights increases with the sheer volume of health data being brought into its platform — which is used to evaluate employee population health, health plan effectiveness, and efficacy of third-party solutions to guide data-informed employee benefit decisions. Springbuk’s platform is consuming over 10,000 data files monthly from over 350 health plans, PBMs, and other employee benefits vendors.

«We know HR and business leaders are trying to innovate and make better decisions for the health of their employees and to find the best value in doing so,» Reasen said. «Springbuk is putting the data and insights into the hands of decision-makers faster, providing the needed direction that’s often missing, and giving them greater confidence than ever in their future.»

While the growth in clients and subsequent data into its Health Intelligence platform has fueled company growth, Springbuk continues to innovate and bring new product features to market. In 2020, Springbuk:

  • Released over 30 proprietary Springbuk Insights™ to provide timely, reliable, and actionable insights into cost-saving opportunities for diseases and across all employees or segments.
  • Introduced Springbuk Answers™ — a first-of-its-kind self-service tool leveraging natural language processing for real-time search queries, based on what users need most when responding to timely events.
  • Anchored the intuitive Springbuk Timeline™ as the go-to tool to address employers’ need to evaluate the clinical impact and financial savings of benefits programs.
  • Fueled innovation through customer input, adding 89 new features from Springbuk’s Idea Portal, one-third of which were based on customer suggestions.
  • Enhanced analytics and visual reports for employers to efficiently drive deep understanding and improvements.

Springbuk, more than doubling its client base in the past two years, boasts some of the world’s largest and most respected household brands in the world and added three of its largest five deals ever in 2020. Springbuk plans to announce new enterprise deals in the coming months.

«We are proud of our team and the growth we’ve experienced amid a very difficult year,» Reasen said. «But when you have a great team, superior technology, and a mission like ours — to Prevent Disease With Data — it’s easy to understand why there is so much growing demand for what we bring to the market.»

Springbuk is the health data analytics solution that equips you with the insights and expertise you need to sharpen your benefits strategy, advance employee health, and contain costs.
