The WEMP Foundation and Rafa Nadal Foundation are joining together to Support Total Wellbeing of Children and Youth through Play

HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The WEMP Foundation (WEMP, which stands for “Wellbeing”, “EQ”, “Mental Health”, and “Parenting”) and the Rafal Nadal Foundation (RNF) are delighted to announce their alliance for supporting total wellbeing of children and youth around the world through Play. Dr. Adrian Cheng, founder of The WEMP Foundation, and Mr. Rafael Nadal, founding patron of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, co-hosted “The Children Ball A Night of Hope, Strength and Inspiration”, which was held at Rosewood Hong Kong on 24th October 2025. They are reimagining geographic boundaries in their shared mission of creating an inclusive world for every child and adolescent.

Millions of children and adolescents lack access to safe places where they can learn, grow, and thrive. By coming together, these two organisations aim to “break down barriers” in underserved communities—leveraging “sports and play” as transformative tools for “education, mental health support, and empowerment”.

Dr. Adrian Cheng has invited Rafael Nadal as a co-host of The Children Ball 2025. The two began their partnership with the launch of Asia’s first and only Rafa Nadal Tennis Center Hong Kong under Rafa Nadal Academy by Movistar in Hong Kong. Dr. Cheng and Mr. Nadal are deeply committed to the cause, sharing a profound belief that investing in the wellbeing of children is crucial for fostering a brighter future for society. The partnership not only highlights their shared values but also emphasizes the significance of community involvement in philanthropic efforts.

Hong Kong is ready to become a global philanthropic hub, boasting a strong financial infrastructure and more than 10,000 tax-exempt charities are already in the city.” Dr. Adrian Cheng, founder of The WEMP Foundation, said “By partnering with a like-minded philanthropic foundation from Spain, our collaboration shows how friendship can be scaled to create global impact. The ball not only celebrates WEMP’s achievements as the largest foundation promoting children’s mental wellbeing in Hong Kong, with the most extensive school-focused programs in the city, but also demonstrates our ongoing commitment to making a profound social impact on children’s mental health. We extend our deepest gratitude to our supporters and look forward to positioning Hong Kong as a leading centre for philanthropy.”

“It feels great to partner with Adrian again, following our previous collaboration to launch the Rafa Nadal Tennis Center Hong Kong. Both of us believe that we have a responsibility to speak up for the next generation. We are committed to using sports to improve the wellbeing of young people around the world,” said Mr. Rafael Nadal, founding patron of the Rafa Nadal Foundation, “Total wellbeing is the powerful balance between physical activity, personal growth, and emotional resilience. We strive to unlock the potential of children and adolescents through sports, education, and mentorship.”

United by a shared belief in the importance of mental health care, Dr. Cheng and Mr. Nadal, along with their foundations, will continue working to build a more sustainable philanthropic ecosystem that serves both beneficiaries and society at large.

No More Cold Shocks: VEVOR’s Towel Warmer Keeps the Whole Family Warm This Winter

360° heating technology and child safety features designed for real family scenarios.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — It’s a typical winter morning. You reach into your towel warmer and pull out what should be a perfectly heated bath towel. The edges are almost too hot to touch, but as you wrap it around your shoulders, that familiar disappointment hits: the center is barely warm. Twenty minutes of heating, yet the middle stays cold.

This is the moment VEVOR’s engineering team couldn’t stop thinking about. Not the product specs. Not the temperature settings. But this specific, frustrating moment when a towel warmer fails at its only job.

The Physics of Disappointment

Stand in front of a traditional towel warmer and watch how it works. Heat rises from the bottom element, warming the outer layer of fabric first. But for folded bath towel, the inner layers barely get touched by that rising heat. Side-mounted elements help, but they still leave a cold cylinder in the center, exactly where your body makes contact.

“Most towel warmers heat from the bottom or sides, leaving the towel’s core cold,” explains VEVOR’s Engineer. “The outside is warm, but the center—where it actually touches your body—stays cool.”

The solution required rethinking the entire heating architecture. VEVOR’s 360° Surround Heating Technology wraps a complete circular heating element around the interior chamber, then adds dedicated bottom heating. The result isn’t just “warmer”—it’s fundamentally different physics. Every inch of fabric sits in direct contact with a heat source. No cold spots. No temperature gradients. Just consistent 155°F warmth from edge to center.

Picture the difference: You pull out a thick, oversized bath sheet—the kind that’s actually large enough to wrap around your whole body. With 360° heating, you can bury your face in any part of that towel and feel the same enveloping heat. That’s not a luxury feature. That’s the actual purpose of a towel warmer, finally working as intended.

Warmth on Demand, Safety by Design

Rachel’s three-year-old daughter Emma hates the shock of cold air after bath time. The transition from warm water to a chilly bathroom usually ends in tears. The solution fits into Rachel’s existing routine: every morning after her own shower, she uses the towel warmer, then sets the 24-hour delay start for the next evening. By the time Emma’s bath time arrives, warm towels are automatically ready—no last-minute rushing. Emma steps out of the tub and gets wrapped in consistent, full-body warmth immediately. The crying stops before it starts.

But having a 155°F heating device within a toddler’s reach raises obvious concerns. Emma’s curiosity drives her to touch every button she sees, and the towel warmer’s glowing LED display definitely catches her attention.

This is where the child lock function matters. Once activated, the control panel becomes unresponsive—Emma can press buttons all she wants, nothing happens. Combined with double overload protection and ETL/FCC certification, the design addresses both electrical and human safety. For parents, that difference is everything.

The Real Competition Isn’t Other Towel Warmers

“VEVOR’s challenge wasn’t building a better towel warmer.” says Gavin, Brand Director. ” It was competing against the option of not buying one at all. The first barrier breaks the moment you use one. That “I don’t need this” assumption dissolves instantly when you wrap yourself in genuinely warm fabric after a cold shower. It’s not marginal improvement—it’s a qualitative difference in comfort. The second barrier required ruthless focus on value engineering. VEVOR’s vertically integrated manufacturing model—the same approach that makes their commercial equipment competitive—enables professional-grade features at accessible pricing.

In the end, towel warmers aren’t about technology. They’re about tiny moments of comfort that accumulate into quality of life. The 30 seconds of warmth after a cold shower. The crying child who stops shivering. The elderly parent who finds relief in consistent heat. The young professional who starts the day less stressed. This is what VEVOR calls “Upgrade Your Winter Guard: The Home Creator’s Way to Family Warmth”—professional-grade comfort made accessible, not as a luxury, but as a dependable solution that every household member can count on.

The VEVOR Towel Warmers series is available now on vevor.com, Amazon, and authorized channels. Models include multiple configurations for different household needs.

Monport Expands Its Fiber Laser Lineup Just in Time for Black Friday

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As anticipation for Black Friday builds, laser engraving professionals and creators are already looking forward to a new era of precision and color performance. The latest innovation from Monport Laser—the GM and GM Pro MOPA Fiber Laser Series—and the newly released GT Fiber Laser for Metal—are earning early recognition as the best fiber laser engravers for true color marking and professional metal engraving.

Designed for accuracy, speed, and vibrant color performance, these new MOPA fiber lasers mark the next step in Monport’s evolution of engraving technology, setting the tone for an exciting pre–Black Friday season.

Precision Meets Performance with the New Monport GT Series Fiber Laser Machines

The GT Series includes both Split Fiber and MOPA Fiber models, offering a range of power options from 30W, 50W, 60W, 80W, 100W, and the all-new 200W—Monport’s first-ever 200W fiber engraving machine. This milestone marks a major advancement in the company’s technology portfolio, empowering users to achieve deeper engraving, faster laser cutting, and stunning 3D reliefs with exceptional clarity.

  • GT 30W and 50W Split Fiber Laser Models: Upgraded versions of the GQ Series, designed for fine metal marking and cutting—ideal for jewelry, tags, and precision components.
  • GT 60W, 80W, 100W, and 200W MOPA Models: Deliver vibrant true color marking on stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium, with pulse flexibility for superior depth and tone control.
  • Auto-Focus Technology: Ensures perfect accuracy with one click—no manual adjustment required.
  • Industrial Galvo Scanners: Provide engraving speeds up to 20,000mm/s, boosting productivity without sacrificing precision.

With the addition of the GT Series Fiber Laser Engraving Machines, Monport now offers one of the most comprehensive fiber laser lineups in the industry, covering every need—from detailed jewelry engraving to heavy-duty industrial cutting.

GM Series: Vibrant True Color Marking Technology

At the heart of the GM Series lies JPT MOPA fiber laser technology, known for its wide frequency range (1–4000kHz) and adjustable pulse width (2–500ns). This enables creators to perform true color marking on metals—ranging from stainless steel color engraving to aluminum blackening and brass color gradients—with stunning precision.

With Monport’s precision-tuned laser parameters, users can achieve a wide range of vibrant hues, making the GM Series a breakthrough for creative professionals seeking color-rich metal engraving results.

GM Pro: Automation for Elevated Productivity

The GM Pro MOPA Fiber Laser enhances efficiency with a One-Touch Autofocus system, automatically adjusting focus depth for optimal results. This feature saves setup time while ensuring precision with every engraving.

Capable of deep engraving and 3D relief effects, the GM Pro provides unmatched performance for professionals who need both power and fine control in a laser engraver for metal.

What’s the Difference Between GM and GM Pro?

The GM and GM Pro series are closely related, with the GM Pro serving as the upgraded model. While both deliver professional-grade precision and color capability, there are a few distinctions that set them apart:

  • Autofocus: The GM series features an easy manual focus system, while the GM Pro takes it a step further with a faster, one-touch autofocus for seamless operation.
  • Product Size and Portability: Both are among the most compact engravers in their class, but the GM series is slightly smaller and lighter—perfect for creators with limited workspace.
  • Optics and Lens Quality: Both series use premium JPT MOPA lenses, ensuring vivid color engraving and long service life.
  • Reflective Mirror Material: Each utilizes Si reflective mirrors in the galvanometer, providing excellent reflectivity and stability. The GM delivers outstanding performance at an even more accessible price point, while the GM Pro emphasizes automation.

Together, the GM and GM Pro series cater to both entry-level professionals seeking compact efficiency and experienced engravers who prioritize automation and productivity.

VEVOR’s Hybrid Heat Press Transforms Bedrooms, Garages, and Small Shops into Professional Production Studios

NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — By bridging manual and automatic operation, VEVOR has created a new category serving serious hobbyists and early-stage entrepreneurs who need professional results on startup budgets.

How One Machine Is Opening Multiple Revenue Streams for Home Creators

On a typical evening, Maya pulls the handle on her VEVOR Hybrid Heat Press once, and 170kg of pressure engages automatically. She walks away to pack previous orders while the machine works. Five minutes later, another custom vintage band tee is ready for shipping—one of 200 orders she’ll process this month from her bedroom studio. This is the reality of creative entrepreneurship in 2025, and VEVOR’s Hybrid Heat Press is quietly powering thousands of these stories.

VEVOR Hybrid Heat Press
VEVOR Hybrid Heat Press

The Un-Amazon-able Economy: One Machine Powering Business That Can’t Be Replicated

Maya didn’t plan to quit her corporate design job. It started with customizing T-shirts for friends at music festivals, then Instagram orders started piling up. But her basic manual press required constant physical pressure—four hours every Saturday hunched over, putting all her body weight into each shirt. “My hands would cramp so badly from hours of pressing. Every weekend was consumed—no brunch with friends, no date nights, just me and that press for eight hours straight,” Maya recalls. “Either I found a better solution, or my side hustle stayed exactly that—a side hustle.”

The VEVOR Hybrid Press changed her equation. At nearly half the price of automatic models, it delivered the same “pull and walk away” convenience. Tfhe 15″x15″ press plate accommodated her oversized streetwear designs. The 50mm opening height meant she could finally take orders for hoodies—a $30-40 markup per item her old press couldn’t handle. “Last month I processed over 200 orders from my bedroom, bringing in $3,800—about 150% of what I made at my design job” she says. “The machine runs while I design or pack orders. It’s the reason I could make the leap.”

Across town, James discovered the Hybrid Heat Press through a different door. A stay-at-home dad, he started making matching shirts for his daughter’s soccer team. Within a month, he was the unofficial team merch guy. What began as casual favors evolved into a micro-business serving three schools in his district. Using the 8-in-1 configuration, James produces everything from fundraiser totes to teacher appreciation mugs. The temperature control (150-240℃) lets him work with sublimation for ceramics in the morning and PUFF HTV for T-shirts in the afternoon. “The full pull-out design matters when my kids are always around,” James explains, demonstrating how he positions items without his hands going near the heat plate. “Safety is non-negotiable in a home with children. And the 15-minute auto shut-off? I’ve definitely forgotten to turn it off during homework meltdowns. That safety feature has saved me more than once.” His business now contributes 30% of household income. “I’m not ‘just’ a stay-at-home dad anymore,” James says.” I am buidling something that’s mine. That balance—being there for their childhood while proving to myself I can create a real business—that’s everything.”

Meanwhile, Sarah positioned her VEVOR Hybrid Press—a 12″x15″ 5-in-1 model featuring the brand’s patented design—right at her gift boutique’s checkout counter where customers can watch. Three stores on her block closed last year, unable to compete with online retailers. She fought back by bringing production in-house. “Everyone told me retail is dying. I decided to become un-Amazon-able,” Sarah says. “You can’t get truly personalized items with same-day turnaround from a warehouse. But you can get them from me.”Customers come in for a birthday gift, and she offers to add a name or inside joke right there, in ten minutes. “They watch it happen. That’s an experience Amazon can’t ship.” Her revenue is up 60% year-over-year, and customer return rate has tripled.

Bridging the Gap: Professional Capability Meets Accessible Pricing

These three creators hit the same ceiling: their creativity couldn’t scale without the right tool, yet professional equipment was priced for established businesses, not emerging ones.

“This is the gap the Hybrid Heat Press was designed to fill,” says Gavin, Brand Director at VEVOR. “We’re seeing explosive growth in the creator economy, but there’s been a missing middle—people who’ve outgrown basic equipment but can’t justify high-end automatic systems. They need professional capability at an accessible entry point.”

The personalization economy is experiencing double-digit growth through 2027, driven by consumers valuing unique, meaningful items over mass-produced alternatives. Simultaneously, barriers to small-scale production are falling—social media provides free marketing, and tools like the Hybrid Heat Press make production accessible.

The technical innovation centers on the hybrid manual-electric operation with a simple 3-step process: pull the board, grab the handle, hit the box. That one button press activates 170kg of electric-powered pressure automatically. The dual-column frame structure ensures this pressure remains uniform across hundreds of daily presses—every corner of design gets the same perfect heat and pressure. No blurry edges and no peeling corners. Just consistent, professional every single time—critical for businesses depending on professional results every time.

The machine performs like automatic presses costing two to three times more.

The VEVOR Hybrid Heat Press is available now through vevor.com, Amazon and a few other authorized channels, with pricing starting at $189.9 for the 12″x15″ 5-in-1 model and $239.9 for the 15″x15″ 8-in-1 model.
