Mothercare Celebrates National Breastfeeding Month in Singapore By Helping Mothers Embrace the Breastfeeding Journey

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 1 August 2022 – In this year’s National Breastfeeding Month, global baby retailer, Mothercare, is pledging to stand alongside mothers in Singapore to raise awareness for breastfeeding. As part of a global campaign to commemorate nursing mothers and the act of maternal love, this month-long celebration aims to help them embrace this rewarding journey – both online and in-store.

From common nursing issues to choosing the right equipment, parents will uncover everything they need to know about breastfeeding.

Connect with breastfeeding experts

Mothers can now join a support group on Telegram to connect with fellow moms in Singapore, with parenting experts from Bump Birth & Beyond and LoveAmme providing expert tips and advice on breastfeeding and more. Participants will be able to get answers to common questions such as how to resolve clogged ducts, how to clean the nipple with wipes, or finding the right nursing or maternity bra.

Get advice on breastfeeding essentials

Expecting parents or parents with newborns can also take advantage of the Nursery Advisor programme, which offers complimentary professional advice to help them make informed purchase decisions. The three-step consultation process allows customers to seek advice from trained and certified professionals who will explain and recommend products which will suit their needs.

For example, pregnant mothers who have trouble sleeping may be advised to get a pregnancy pillow to help support the extra weight, which can also double up as a nursing pillow afterwards for greater cost savings.

With many new mothers struggling with breastfeeding for the first time, this programme also enables them to learn about the unique features of each nursing equipment. For example, the LoveAmme MadeToTravel Double Breastpump is both lightweight and powerful, a perfect lifestyle companion for breastfeeding mothers on-the-go. The Tommee Tippee Made For Me Silicone Manual Breastpump is also a great alternative due to its size and portability.

Apart from breast pumps, Mothercare offers a wide range of other breastfeeding equipment and comfort essentials, including nipple creams, breast shields, to nursing bras to help make the breastfeeding journey smooth and comfortable. Registration for the Nursery Advisor programme is convenient and fuss-free – interested parties can easily sign up online from the comfort of their own homes through the digital portal. New joiners will also receive a series of perks such as a free goodie bag and a nursery styling session with Med Kärlek Inc.

Celebrate National Breastfeeding Month with Mothercare this August

Enjoy curated content on all things breastfeeding in the Mothercare blog and across social media platforms. Through a collaborative effort, the public will also be able to hear from mothers in Singapore about their own experiences as well as gather tips and tricks from popular baby brands such as LoveAmme and Tommee Tippee, which will empower them throughout this journey.

PressReleaseTMPDFo0qU.jpg

From how to choose the right breast pump to uncovering the most breastfeeding-friendly places in Singapore, this series of curated content will provide parents with all the resources they need to embark on a smooth breastfeeding journey.

Today, breastfeeding has achieved significant progress as compared to a decade ago. Through its breastfeeding initiatives, Mothercare is well-geared to celebrate National Breastfeeding Month alongside mothers and even fathers in this month and beyond.

Superstar Teacher Celebrates 10 Years of Student Success With New And Improved Online Platform

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 1 August 2022 – To mark its 10th year anniversary, Superstar Teacher has launched a swarm of new features on its online learning platform to further enhance the learning experience of student users. The portal revamp includes a new and refreshed dashboard as well as the integration of existing features into three newly-introduced sections termed as “Learn”, “Ask” and “Revise”. Students can continue to use stars, which can be earned through challenges, to exchange for physical gifts from the reward store. The reward store has been renamed as Barry’s Mart after Superstar Teacher’s bear mascot.

A premier online learning platform for Primary and Secondary school students in Singapore, Superstar Teacher celebrates its 10th year anniversary with a bevy of new and improved features.

A premier online learning platform for Primary and Secondary school students in Singapore, Superstar Teacher celebrates its 10th year anniversary with a bevy of new and improved features.

“Learn” To Attain Subject Mastery

The new “Learn” section of the learning portal is where students go to attain mastery in a specific subject, with the help of lessons, assessment practices and A.I. technology. All subjects are based on the latest Ministry Of Education (MOE) syllabuses, categorised into stipulated topics and then broken down into bite-sized content pieces. Students new to any particular topic, or students who need to reinforce their understanding can make use of the online lessons via the Master mode to improve their grasp of core concepts and key fundamentals of the topic. They can then activate the A.I. Learning Mode to gauge their competency level, which allows for their learning to be even more personalised.

Ace Exams with “Revise” and “Ask”

“Revise” is designed to optimise the process of exam preparation. Students will be able to choose from three types of assessment:

  • Speed Drills: 6 questions that must be answered within 10 minutes.
  • Exercises : 12 questions with no time limit.
  • Quizzes: 12 questions that have to be tackled in under 20 minutes.

Students may select multiple topics for each assessment to better prepare for their examinations. With the addition of a time restriction, Superstar Teacher aims to mimic and normalise exam conditions where students only have a limited amount of time to complete their papers.

Students can seek immediate homework help by submitting questions under the “Ask” section. To facilitate comprehensive learning and better meet their educational needs, students can now seek assistance from expert mentors beyond subjects that they have subscribed to. For instance, questions can relate to any of the subjects, even if a student has only subscribed to just one. This will enable students to enhance their understanding of subject matters, by addressing any doubts they may have at any time of the day.

New Daily Challenges And Recognising Students’ Achievements

Superstar Teacher has replaced fixed daily challenges with Challenge Of The Day (COTD), which is determined by spinning a wheel to gamify learning as well as to incorporate an element of surprise. By leveraging technology to drive engagement, Superstar Teacher is able to provide students with surprises that serve as an additional incentive for students to login daily. These surprises also supply additional motivation to bolster their learning journey, along with core features like lessons and assessments. The dashboard serves as the one-stop central platform for students to access last-viewed lessons or assessments.

Upon receiving stars from completing various challenges on Superstar Teacher’s online learning platform, students may choose to exchange them for rewards from Barry’s Mart. These rewards function as a motivating factor that keeps students engaged in their own learning. Students are able to trade their hard-earned stars for physical gifts or opt for monetary donations to the Children’s Cancer Foundation (CCF). By giving them the opportunity to experience the joy of giving, Superstar Teacher hopes to nurture not just the mind, but also the heart, by imparting important values such as empathy and altruism.

Superstar Teacher’s Special 10th Anniversary Offer

Superstar Teacher is offering a 14-day free trial so students can experience the ease and efficiency of online learning at no cost. With full lessons available on both the web browser and mobile app versions, parents and students will be able to explore Superstar Teacher’s online learning platform and discover the benefits of its interactive features.

FIRE Fit Spreads Its Flames To The Sunshine Coast

Second FIRE Fit location in Australia opens this October

QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA – Media OutReach – 1 August 2022 – Premium boutique fitness concept FIRE Fit is set to spread its flames to the Sunshine Coast this spring with a new 2-studio location opening in the Sunshine Coast suburb of Kawana this October. The Kawana location will be the first FIRE Fit in Queensland, and comes about as a result of a licensing agreement between Evolution Wellness Group (Evolution Wellness), Asia’s leading fitness and wellness group, and Next Round Investments Pty Ltd.


FIRE Fit Kawana is the second FIRE Fit location in Australia – the first being FIRE Fit Alexandria, Sydney, which opened late last year. A third FIRE Fit location will also open not long after, this time in the suburb of Sunnybank.

Sean Maher, Chief Operating Officer, Next Round Investments Pty Ltd said, “In a market with a lot of tough competitors, FIRE Fit really brings its own unique flair to boutique fitness. Its energy and differentiated approach to programming, coupled with its rebel-with-a-cause look, feel, and price points make it a serious contender in the market despite its relative ‘newness’ locally. We can’t wait to open our doors so our members can experience the FIRE difference.”

Occupying the former PLC site on Capital Place, FIRE Fit Kawana will offer the Signature STRIKE and REVOLUTION classes:

  • STRIKE
    Fight club meets night club. It’s all the power of old school kickboxing, drilled and skilled in a high-energy, high intensity group atmosphere. So tick off that cardio workout and FIRE off that stress relief in just one 45-minute session.
  • REVOLUTION
    Ignite a real change with FIRE Revolution. We’ve tailored this 45-minute high-intensity, circuit-based programme to help you spark your FIRE REVOLUTION is all about the community, grinding and sweating together. With a combo like that, there’s no doubt you’ll have a blazing time.

Like other FIRE Fit locations offering STRIKE classes, FIRE Fit Kawana will also incorporate connected heavy bag fitness technology from Impact Wrap in its STRIKE classes. Members will be able to quantify their workouts by tracking metrics like force and number of strikes made during a STRIKE class; the harder the punches and kicks, the more points collected to progress up the leaderboard.

“All said and done, I have confidence that FIRE Fit fulfils a niche in the market and that it’s that “what’s next” customers are searching for. We’re fairly certain at this point that we’re not stopping at only one site!” continued Sean.

“Sean and his team themselves are no strangers to the fitness industry, with over two decades’ of experience in operating independent gyms, to fitness equipment and education; we’re incredibly honoured by the recognition and belief they’ve accorded us and the FIRE Fit brand in terms of fulfilling a niche in the market, and delivering a quality, out-of-this-world experience,” said Chris Lee, Licensing Director, Evolution Wellness. “We look forward to the successful launch of FIRE Fit Kawana, and to working alongside Sean, Matt, Kerri, and the team as they scale across Queensland and beyond.”

Mahua Funage’s Summer Smash Hit Lifts IMAX China to Biggest Summer Three-day Opening Weekend Box Office since September 2019

NEW YORK and SHANGHAI Media OutReach – 1 August 2022 – IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) and IMAX China (HKSE:1970) today announced that Mahua Funage’s sci-fi comedy Moon Man generated $6.4 million(including previews) in box office at IMAX theatres in China during its opening weekend — marking IMAX China’s biggest summer three-day opening weekend since September 2019. IMAX theatres accounted for 16 out of the top 20 highest grossing theatres nationwide. The strong results came despite the fact that 9% of IMAX theatres in China remain closed and capacity limitations are in place across key markets.

Moon Man lifted IMAX China to its highest grossing month of July since September 2019, as the company continues to build momentum at the box office.

“We are very encouraged by the stellar opening of Moon Man, which offers a clear sign that audiences are eager to return to theaters for the IMAX Experience,” said Edwin Tan, CEO of IMAX China. “We would like to congratulate director Zhang Chiyu and our partners at Mahua Funage and Alibaba Pictures for the film’s phenomenal success. Moon Man marks a critical milestone in the recovery of the film industry this year as well as a major step forward in the production of Chinese sci-fi blockbusters.”

One of the most anticipated Chinese blockbusters of the year, more than 1.4 million movie fans rated Moon Man as a “want to see” on ticking platforms prior to its release. The film has won outstanding feedback from audiences with a score of 9.4 and 9.5 on Maoyan and Taopiaopiao respectively. To date, Moon Man has earned nearly 1 billion RMB in overall box office.

Moon Man tells the story of “the last human in the universe” as an astronaut finds himself stranded on the moon after an asteroid wipes out life on earth. To create a realistic lunar setting for Moon Man, film crews laid a total of 200 tons of sand and gravel across a 6,000-square-meter space spanning 15 studios, in addition to building a model of a lunar base in actual size. Approximately 95% of Moon Man shots use special and visual effects.

Moon Man continues the diverse and action-packed summer slate for IMAX in China, with the forthcoming sci-fi blockbuster Warriors of Future coming to IMAX screens on August 12.
