New cordless unit combines powerful performance, flexible ergonomics, and easy maintenance to deliver the ultimate solution for complete cleaning

ROME, Italy – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.  announced the release of the all-new cordless vacuum cleaner, the POWERstick PRO™ at the 2018 Samsung Southeast Asia & Oceania Forum. The POWERstick PRO™ boasts the industry-leading suction power, resolving challenges consumers experience as they vacuum their homes.

Strong Suction Power Paired with

Brand New Brush and Battery

Powered by Samsung’s Digital Inverter Motor which spins faster than a tornado¹, the POWERstick PRO™ is built for high performance. With 150W of power, it has the industry-leading suction power², providing thorough cleaning efficiency on all floor types. The POWERstick PRO^TM comes with the Turbo Action Brush, which boasts exceptional versatility in efficiently cleaning dust up from various floor types. The rotating brush bar adds more suction power, enabling it to powerfully pick up pet hairs and dust on the carpet.

POWERstick PRO™ also holds a powerful charge, running on a battery pack that offers up to 40 minutes of battery life. The pack is designed to retain 80% of its original capacity for up to 500 full charge and discharge cycles, with no decrease in the battery power for five years³. It can also be quickly swapped for a replacement when needed.  

Ergonomic Design for User Convenience

The POWERstick PRO™ takes the cleaning experience to the next level by maximising aesthetic appeal and convenience. The patented ergonomic Flex Handle folds up to 50° with a click of a button, letting users reach under low furniture with ease. The ergonomics of the handle have also been cleverly aligned, so it is light and minimises strain on wrists, muscles and back.

The POWERstick PRO™ further amplifies convenience with hassle-free maintenance and strong hygienic features. The EZClean Dustbin empties with one quick pull of the lever so contents can be disposed with minimal effort, and the entire dustbin structure can be detached and washed with water. The EZClean Brush also detaches easily. As it is pulled out from the base, it uses friction to dislodge dust and even hair tangles without getting hands dirty. 

The POWERstick PRO™ also boasts Hygienic HEPA Filtration to ensure that up to 99.9% of the dust collected stays in the canister, ensuring cleaner air. The advanced filtration system of POWERstick PRO™ received the highest level of certification from SLG, an independent testing institute, as well as from the British Allergy Foundation, for its ability to trap fine dust and other harmful particles such as household mites, pollen, and mold spores.

Additional Tools for the Ultimate Cleaning Solution

Lastly, the POWERstick PRO™ completes the ultimate cleaning solution with five additional tools. The motor driven Soft Action Brush effectively swipes even the finest dust on the hard floor and the Mini Motorised Tool allows users to clean the dust and allergens on bed sheets, mattresses and fabric furniture effectively and hygienically. The Extension Crevice Tool removes dirt from deep crevices in sofas and high areas like ceiling corners with ease. The Combination Tool enable users to pick up dirt on a wide range of surfaces, from table tops to window frames, and the Flexible Tool bends at an angle to pick up dust in hard-to-reach places like the top of the refrigerator.

World’s best low-cost airline teams up with Salesforce to lead the way in airline customer experience

MANILA, 7 March 2018 – AirAsia today announced it has chosen Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), the global leader in customer relationship management, to be its strategic technology partner as the airline revamps its customer care for the digital era.

The airline, which has renamed its customer care team to Customer Happiness, will deploy Salesforce Sales Cloud, Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud and Community Cloud as part of its strategy to create faster and more personalised service for its customers.

Knowing cybersecurity threats a must for all businesses - Globe Business’ #makeITSafePH provides useful tips and info for all organizations

Tweet

Expanding a business’ digital footprint has its tremendous advantages. However, it also comes with inevitable risks. Knowing these risks and cybersecurity threats together with the proper solutions can help organizations be properly educated to ensure the safety of all its sensitive data and resources.

As part of its #makeITsafePH cybersecurity campaign, Globe Business, the information and communications technology arm of Globe Telecom shares the top five cyber threats that business should be looking out for:

Ransomware is a threat that has evolved from invading home or office systems to the cloud. According to MIT Technology Review (www.technologyreview.com), "One big target in 2018 will be cloud computing businesses which house mountains of data for companies. Some also run consumer services such as e-mail and photo libraries.”

Ransomware growth in 2017 topped 2,500 percent, hitting hospitals, private businesses, and individual users. A major concern about ransomware attacks is that it is not limited to personal computers running Windows. Hackers are also targeting Macs and Linux PCs.

Phishing attacks through social engineering is another major threat, this time with individuals as main targets. Hackers use more complex manipulation methods in getting vital information from people who are already confident of their company's IT security. Continuous security education and awareness should also evolve in the workplace.

The rising popularity of cryptocurrencies is another trend that concerns online security officers of big businesses. The threat brought about by it is stealing a hardware's computing power. Hackers will compromise vulnerable systems by targeting its processing capabilities and mining them for cryptocurrencies.

Another threat involves cyber-physical attacks or the hacking of electrical grids, transportation systems, and critical infrastructure in many countries worldwide. 

Meanwhile, the use of password alternatives like multi-factor authentication (MFA) or risk-based authentication will become a trend among many companies. According to International Data Group's companion website CSO Online (www.csoonline.com), many breaches of sensitive online information is due to password-only authentication that's becoming easy targets for hackers. Companies want to increase online security by implementing MFAs or risk-based authentication and this may lead to the decline of password-only authentication use. 

"These days, it is hard to think of a business that is not present online. Advancements in technology have opened doors for enterprises to rely heavily on the internet. However, with almost everyone having access to the Internet, risks of being breached are at an all-time high. This is why we aim to assist enterprises in providing client protection by offering cutting-edge online security solutions," says Peter Manquera, SVP for Globe Enterprise Group.

"Businesses need to be proactive in combatting threats not only to protect their data, but also to make customers feel safe. Security never ends after an attack," he added.

To prevent becoming victims of cybersecurity threats, Globe myBusiness has come up with cost-effective tailor-made solutions which allow businesses to mitigate security threats before they happen. Among these solutions are: Anti-DDOS (distributed denial-of-service) which protects online services by keeping servers up and running; Managed Enterprise Firewall for real-time visibility that allows quick identification and validation of potential threats to the network; and Secure Email Gateway Cloud which eliminates threats before they reach the network and provides centralized email security for all environments, among others.

Also, through the #makeITsafePH campaign, the company provides practical tips and easy-to-digest information about the various threats an organization may face. With this, every client is fully informed and aware of the responsibilities to protect their organization.

Fresh Cell Therapy Brings Treatment to New Heights, Find out why some well known celebrities, leaders, even royalty underwent living cell therapy

Tweet

What do Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin, Nelson Mandela, Pablo Picasso, Pope Pius XII, US Pres. Harry S. Truman, Prime Minister Charles de Gaulle, German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, King Hirohito of Japan, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, and German Soccer Player Franz Beckenbauer have in common?

They all underwent an original living cell therapy in the clinic of Prof. Dr. Block or Prof. Dr. Niehans.

 Living Cell Therapy

Dr. Paul Niehans is the father of modern living cell therapy. He injected his first cells in 1931 when he was confronted with an acute case of serious glandular malfunctioning. Years later, Dr. Niehans treated Pope Pius XII who appointed him to the Papal Academy of Sciences in 1955 out of gratitude, making him the successor to Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of penicillin.

Dr. Siegfried Block studied under Paul Niehans for many years and started using cell therapy around 60 years ago. He then passed his knowledge and expertise to his daughter, Dr. Petra Block, who later took over running the clinic. For her medical studies, she went to University Munich, Germany and Promotion University Nürnberg-Erlangen, Germany (Dr.med./MD). Since 1987 she was a general doctor, specializing in Gynäkologie and Cell Therapy. She studied Fresh Cell Therapy from 1987 to 1991 under her father. In 1991, she became the medical director of the Fresh Cell Therapy clinic Dr. Block, and the D. Siegfried Block GmbH – Center for Living Cell Therapy.

Her son, Dr. Daniel Block, has been working as the Managing Director since 2009. He studied at Florida International University, Miami USA and at the University of Wuerzburg Germany from 2004 to 2009 major in finance. 

With more than 60 years of experience, D. Siegfried Block GmbH & Clinic Dr. Block keeps its own herd of around 700 mountain sheep exclusively for the gaining of living cells. A living cell therapy means that cells and minute cell unions derived from unborn or young mountain sheep are extracted under clinical conditions in its EU-Certified laboratory, suspended in a natural solution and immediately injected into the patient. Around 85 different organs or parts of organs can be extracted. These new injected organ cells will stimulate, revitalize, and restore a patient’s weakened and damaged organ cells.

D. Siegfried Block GmbH & Clinic Dr. Block is always the top choice when it comes to fresh cell theraphy because of its ancestry of excellence – from Prof. Niehans, to Dr. Siegfried Block, Dr. Petra Block, and Dr. Daniel Block. Likewise, a flock of hand selected mountain sheep which is closed in the female line for over 50 years is monitored by a veterinarian and laboratory analysis.

The clinic is highly distinguished from the others because it is the only clinic that extracts and injects the cells under the highest standards in Lenggries, Germany. The cell extraction is under clinical conditions and immediate injection is required to attain the highest efficiency. It boasts of highly experienced professional team – many members trained by Dr. Siegfried Block himself.
