SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 12 June 2023 – Not all umbrellas are created equal. Happy Rainy Days offers impressive durability at a very reasonable weight. Its HR002 series is made of dual strand carbon fiber rods and superb water-repellent coating, providing stronger support to extend the umbrella service life.

Dream Umbrella for Rainy and Sunny Days

Besides being lightweight and one-touch automatic foldable, HR002 is topped with a perfectly water repellent Japanese cloth, Mira Toray, which allows it to shake off the raindrops with just one easy shake, saving time and all the hand-wetting.

The HR002 series also features 50+ UPF level which is able to block off 99% UV from sunlight. Even on especially windy days, Happy Rainy Days will never break or brittle since its aluminum rod is combined with carbon fiber to create lightweight and durable umbrellas that are not only slimmer than traditional ones, but also stronger.

ROSEN, A LEADING LAW FIRM, Encourages DouYu International Holdings Limited Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in First Filed Securities Class Action Initiated by the Firm – DOYU

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – June 10, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of the securities of DouYu International Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: DOYU) between April 30, 2021 and May 9, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”). A class action has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2023 in the securities class action commenced by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased DouYu securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the DouYu class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=15999 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 8, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose, among other things, that: (1) The Chinese government, due to concerns about issues such as video game and computer addiction, as well as content challenging its authority, could become increasingly aggressive towards DouYu regardless of how effective or sincere its attempts to comply with Chinese law were; (2) this increasingly aggressive posture subjected DouYu to a heightened risk of an investigation and subsequent government enforcement action and ultimately resulted in enforcement action; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the DouYu class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=15999 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

CoinW, championing societal philanthropy, displays an overflowing love as it unites numerous industry luminaries in spearheading a material donation drive for stray animals

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 June 2023 – In June 2023, CoinW’s philanthropic mission perseveres in Taiwan. “CoinW Official” and “CoinW Taiwan,” in association with the Pepe Chinese community, Pudgy Penguins, Dogewow, Floki, and other elite animal-themed NFT and MEME initiatives, organized a Stray Animals Charity Week. Under the theme of “PETS ARE FAMILY,” the CoinW Taiwan team, representatives from Taiwan’s blockchain institutions, authoritative blockchain media outlets, and prominent project participants, along with influential KOLs, took on the role of Web3 Ambassadors of Love. Together, they ventured to the Taoyuan Animal Protection and Education Park, contributing US$1,000 worth of essential animal feed and supplies to the park’s stray cats and dogs.

These Web3 Ambassadors of Love urge empathy for displaced animals, advocating for adoption over purchase.

With the intent to inspire acts of kindness and care for stray animals, CoinW Taiwan extended invitations to several industry representatives to participate in this donation drive. The aim was to leverage their fame and influence to encourage more kind-hearted individuals to join this love-filled endeavor, extending their love to the strays.

Web3 Ambassador of Love, Duo Ruo Yu (CEO and Co-founder of Hooky.Fi, and Vice Chairman of Taiwan Blockchain University Alliance, TBA), shared, “Although the duration of this charity event was merely a few hours, it profoundly reminded us: No life is destined for vagrancy. If you love them, don’t abandon them! We hope that even our modest contribution can make the world a better place.”

TBA Chairman Peng Shao Fu also expressed, “The charity donation event spearheaded by CoinW is extremely meaningful. Through this initiative, the philosophy of ‘Caring for life, treating animals kindly’ has reached a broader audience, helping more tiny lives avoid displacement and contributing to a civilized and harmonious living environment. We hope that through our influence, we can encourage more people to engage in societal philanthropy.”

The founder of BlockGang Labs, ZhouYongyou, Crypto City, the blockchain media outlet, Web3 Influencer Xiao Bi’er, the founder of Blockchain Journal, Marx, and other Web3 Ambassadors of Love, underscored the importance of caring for stray animals. They advocated adoption over purchase, discouraged abandonment and wanton cruelty, and urged an end to straying through acts of love. They envisage a world where every creature is tenderly nurtured and equitably treated.

The beneficiary of this donation drive is the Taoyuan City Animal Protection Promotion Association. The association was established to aid and improve the welfare of homeless stray dogs and cats housed in shelters. Currently, its primary members are volunteers from the Xiwu Cat Shelter and dog volunteers. The park houses approximately 1,150 dogs and cats. By 2022, the association had organized over 304 adoption events and successfully placed more than 3,073 cats into loving homes.

CoinW continues its global philanthropic journey, never forgetting its original aspirations.

Over the six years since its inception, CoinW has remained true to its roots, persisting in its philanthropic endeavors while perfecting its own products, and actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility through actions. Reportedly, this charity event is the third in a series of public welfare activities in 2023, following a visit to the Shanghai Bao’en Temple in January and donations to stray animal rescue organizations in Turkey, Malaysia, and India in March. CoinW aims to collaborate with more industry partners and charitable organizations globally, providing support to more animal shelters and jointly fostering a harmonious environment of coexistence between humans and pets.

The head of CoinW Global Philanthropy expressed that CoinW continues to uphold a steadfast sense of responsibility and a mission to give back to society, actively initiating charitable acts in multiple countries and regions such as Asia and Africa. These acts of love and charity are ongoing and sustainable. CoinW will further extend its animal care programs in the future, actively practicing corporate social responsibility, exerting a positive influence, constantly innovating activity content, assisting stray animals in diversified ways, and encouraging and guiding users to actively participate. They aim to spread the concept of love and charity, contributing their own strength to the cause.
