Tonight, the Auckland community will gather at the Auckland Domain to honour the recent ceasefire in Palestine and stand in solidarity with those affected by the ongoing humanitarian crisis.

The event, scheduled to begin at 8:00 PM, will include heartfelt speeches, cultural performances, and a moment of silence to commemorate the lives lost. Attendees will acknowledge the Palestinian people’s resilience and reaffirm a collective commitment to justice, freedom, and human rights.

This ceasefire offers a moment of relief, but it must not mark the end of our efforts. We gather tonight not only to mourn the losses but to demand a future where peace and justice are realized for all Palestinians. True peace is rooted in freedom and dignity.

Organizers urge Aucklanders to attend and demonstrate their solidarity with the Palestinian cause. This gathering is a reminder of the power of collective voices, united in compassion and determination, to advocate for change and inspire hope for those enduring the crisis.

Gaza – Fragile Hope for Children in Gaza

ChildFund New Zealand continues to support critical humanitarian assistance to more than 629,698 people in Gaza, including 383,819 children, through its ChildFund partner, WeWorld. (ref. https://www.weworld.it/en )
“Hope in Gaza, and for the families of the Israeli hostages, is fragile. But since the ceasefire deal between Hamas and Israel, we are in much better position than we were a week ago,” says Josie Pagani, CEO of ChildFund New Zealand.
“Children in Gaza have endured unimaginable violence and trauma. There have been more than 42,000 casualties (the majority of whom are children and women), and almost 100,000 injuries, out of a population of approximately 2.1 million people. Our partners have been on the front line since the war started (and before), and will continue to provide life-saving support. The relief response does not stop as the recovery phase begins.”
Children need drinking water and food every day, and safe toilet and sanitary areas to use, plus access to medical care. Basic services are the priority. The on-going psychological recovery from war and severe trauma is going to take years.
WeWorld is a member of our ChildFund global Alliance, and has been present in Palestine since 1992.
The Gaza Emergency Operation team consists of 32 staff (of which 7 based in Jordan), 60 daily workers, 1 operational base and 1 warehouse to stock emergency response items. The Humanitarian Aid Unit provides additional coordinating support to the emergency operation.
“Funding will continue to be provided through ChildFund New Zealand, thanks to the generosity of New Zealanders who see the devastation, and want to do something to help children in Gaza.

20 January 2025 – Fish & Game New Zealand is pleased the Government has retained the Hunting and Fishing portfolio and looks forward to working with the newly appointed Minister James Meager.
“The portfolio reflects Fish & Game’s vision for a New Zealand where hunting and fishing traditions thrive, and all New Zealanders enjoy access to a healthy environment and sustainable wild fish and game resources,” says Fish & Game chief executive Corina Jordan.
“Kiwis have a deep connection to our wild spaces, and a strong history of hunting and freshwater fishing.
“It’s vital that we ensure these habitats and the species they support are healthy and that hunting and fishing remain part of the fabric of the country.
“Hunting and freshwater fishing not only provide sustainable kai for our families, but also foster a deep connection to our natural environment, provide physical and mental health benefits, and an opportunity to connect with family and friends.
“Minister Meager is a keen outdoors enthusiast and we look forward to working closely with him to help support recreational hunters and anglers, enhance public access to natural resources, protect our natural environments and the valued introduced species that live there.”
Fish & Game’s key priorities include advocating for the interests of hunters and anglers, protecting and enhancing access to our wild places, legislative reforms, working collaboratively with rural communities and mana whenua to protect and restore habitats, and foster the next generation of hunters and anglers.
Fish & Game New Zealand also thanks outgoing Hunting and Fishing Minister Hon. Todd McClay for his dedication during his tenure.
“Minister McClay has been a passionate advocate for hunters and anglers, and was pivotal in the establishment of the Hunting and Fishing portfolio. He recognises the importance of hunting and freshwater fishing in New Zealand, along with the sustainable management of game bird and sports fish species while safeguarding the habitats that support them.
“He has also worked hard to address important issues like improving access with a new Charter and strengthening collaboration across agencies responsible for managing sport fish and game birds.”

The HKFYG successfully concludes “Hong Kong International A Cappella Contest”

Pooi To Middle School and HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College emerge as champions
Youngest primary school team proudly claims the Most Potential Award

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 January 2025 – The unique allure of a cappella lies in its harmonious melodies, created solely by human voices, without instrumental accompaniment. On 18 January, local and international talent came together to celebrate the art of a cappella at the “Hong Kong International A Cappella Contest Finals.

At the HKFYG’s “Hong Kong International A Cappella Contest Finals 2024,” the Open Division featured professional teams from Japan, Singapore and Taiwan, who competed alongside local vocal talent in an extraordinary musical showdown.

An annual event organised by The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG), the Contest was a resounding success. The team from Pooi To Middle School claimed both the Championship and Outstanding Harmony titles in the “School Division: Pop Chorus. Meanwhile, HKFYG Lee Shau Kee College’s HLC Harmonix won the “School Division: Vocal Band, along with the Best Presentation, Outstanding Lead Vocal and Outstanding Harmony awards.

In the Open Division, the youngest a cappella ensemble, Little by little Kids, earned the Most Potential Award with their original children’s song “A Happy Day” and their rendition of the cartoon theme song “Problems Every Day.” Comprising six members aged eight to ten from three different primary schools, including a nine-year-old beatboxer who started teaching himself to beatbox at age four, they delivered their performance with great poise and were met with enthusiastic applause from the audience. All members expressed delight at their competition debut. Despite their young age, they demonstrated sophistication in rhythm, lead vocal, harmony, choreography, beat, and even the finer details of song introduction

Also making their competition debut was Pooi To Middle School’s 12-member team, the winner of the “School Division: Pop Chorus.” Having started practising since last September, they attributed their success to their enjoyment of performing and strong team spirit. The team emphasised the importance of individual performances as well as that of their fellow team members. They revealed that while they initially focused too heavily on pitch accuracy, they disordered that shifting their attention the meaning behind the lyrics eventually enhanced their performance.

The Open Division featured professional teams from Japan, Singapore and Taiwan, who competed alongside local talent in an extraordinary musical showdown. TunaStars from Hong Kong ultimately emerged victorious, securing both the Vocal Band (International) and (Hong Kong) Championship titles.

Carrie Wong, Supervisor of the HKFYG, congratulated the winning teams and commended all participants for their exceptional virtuosity and teamwork. She remarked, “By bringing together top teams from Hong Kong and around the world, the Contest serves as a valuable platform for artistic and musical exchange. A cappella groups, without relying on expensive equipment, showcase the power and versatility of the human voice.”

Wong also expressed gratitude to the judges for their professional guidance and extended special thanks to the Hong Kong Arts Development Council for its steadfast support. She affirmed the HKFYG Cultural Services Unit’s continued commitment to promoting a cappella education and fostering exchange through the art form.

The panel of judges for the “Hong Kong International A Cappella Contest Finals” included: Ray Chu, Pop and Jazz Artistic Director of Taiwan Choral Music Center; Zhang Mingming, Chief Executive Officer of Guangzhou Modern A Cappella Club; baratti, A Cappella Producer and Member of Japanese vocal harmony group “Nagie Lane”; Alfred Wong, composer and recipient of CASH Golden Sail Music Awards; and Guddy Chan, renowned vocal coach.

Trend Micro is Recognized as a 2024 Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms

0

Source: Media Outreach

The Gartner® Peer Insights™ Customers’ Choice Distinction is based on feedback and ratings from end-user professionals who have experience with the product or service

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 20 January 2025 – Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cybersecurity leader, has announced that it was named a Customer’s Choice in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms. According to Gartner, “Cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPPs) are a unified and tightly integrated set of security and compliance capabilities designed to protect cloud-native infrastructure and applications.”

To learn more about Trend’s Cloud Security, please visit: https://www.trendmicro.com/en_hk/business/products/hybrid-cloud.html

Rachel Jin, Chief Enterprise Platform Officer at Trend: “Organizations have been grappling with a proliferation of security tools that fail to provide unified risk visibility, comprehensive protection for multi-cloud environments, and effective detection and response capabilities for hybrid clouds. That’s why we’re delighted to be named one of just four Customer’s Choice for CNAPP, with a ‘willingness to recommend’ customer rating of 96% based on 81 reviews submitted as of December 2024 on Gartner Peer Insights for Cloud-Native Application Protection Platforms market. We believe this recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to innovation and delivering exceptional customer experiences to help address the most pressing challenges in today’s dynamic and complex infrastructure landscape.”

Trend averaged a 4.7-star rating from customer reviews, three-quarters (72%) of which were five-star reviews and 27% four-star. It scored particularly highly in Product Capabilities (4.7) and Sales Experience (4.7) based on 81 reviews submitted as of December 2024.

Today’s businesses are leveraging cloud-native application in ever-greater numbers to drive competitive advantage, but too often cybersecurity solutions are still playing catch up.

Siloed point solutions lack automation, create security gaps for risk to thrive in, and exacerbate friction between security and developer teams caused by time-to-market pressures.

Trend Vision One™ – Cloud Security offers a modern approach to CNAPP for customers. The centralized platform enables deep visibility into risks, preventative measures such as runtime protection, and rapid response actions designed to minimize exposure.

By combining these capabilities in a single platform, organizations can remove developer-security friction, enhance compliance, and continuously mitigate risk in the cloud, through features such as:

  • Cloud misconfiguration checks for open Amazon S3 buckets, databases and network ports
  • Runtime monitoring and protection of cloud workloads such as instances and containers
  • Automated detection of vulnerabilities within containers, virtual machines (VMs) or serverless functions
  • Exposure scanning for CVEs, secrets, sensitive data and malware
  • Infrastructure as code (IaC) and container image scanning enable early risk detection, allowing issues to be addressed before deployment to production.
  • Agentless scanning capabilities identify risks, vulnerabilities, and threats in workloads where deploying agents is not possible.
  • File security scanning detects and prevents any malicious files from being uploaded to critical cloud-native applications
  • Cloud detection and response (CDR) correlates telemetry from workloads, applications, and cloud logs to provide security teams with real-time visibility into suspicious activities in cloud accounts
  • Data security posture management (DSPM) helps identify sensitive information and correlates it with predictive attack paths, enabling organizations to prioritize the most critical risk based on their most valuable assets
  • Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM) continuously monitors permissions and identity activities to prevent unauthorized access and potential lateral movements within cloud accounts
