Japan is set to welcome a delegation of 10 young people from Laos who
are participating in the Japan-East Asia Network of Exchange for Students and Youths (JENESYS) Tourism and OMOTENASHI Exchange, supported by the Government of Japan.

This program is designed to provide participants with an opportunity to deepen
understanding of both the Japanese tourism industry and Japanese-style hospitality,
while gaining knowledge and ideas for tourism development in Laos.

The participants were selected in cooperation with the Lao Ministry of Education
and Sports. Four of them participated in the JENESYS online program “Tourism & OMOTENASHI Exchange” in 2022 and are now making their long-awaited visit to Japan.

They will visit Japan’s capital, Tokyo, as well as Okinawa prefecture. In addition to attending lectures and visiting facilities and key industries, students will join cross-cultural events and workshops, and exchange ideas with their peers. They are also expected to share experiences, learning and insights with wider audiences through social networking services (SNS) during their stay in Japan and after returning home in Laos.

More than 2,200 Lao young people have been to Japan for such exchanges since JENESYS’ establishment in 2007. It is expected that these exchanges will continue to promote mutual trust and understanding among the younger generations to build strong foundations for long-term friendship and cooperation between Japan and Laos.

Timothy Joshua Chia-Lee, Head Tutor at illum.e commented, “The results from the previous academic year provide a quantitative glimpse into our quality student outcomes, reflecting a synthesis of their efforts and our unique educational framework at illum.e.”

Technological Strides with Learning Portals

In 2023, illum.e’s innovation department initiated the roll-out of a student learning portal, with an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven Learning Portal also announced for launch in early 2024.

Survey by JD – JustDating: Those with Better Looks Are More Likely to Be Single

Hong Kong People Meet in Person After Only 3.2 Hours of Online Chat: Technology and Aviation Industry Professionals Show Higher Willingness to Date

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 7 November 2023 – With the annual Singles’ Day approaching on November 11th (11/11), some singles are eager to escape singledom on this day, while others, humorously self-proclaimed as having a “perpetually single” disposition, continue to embrace solitude. In light of this, the popular dating app “JD – Just Dating” conducted a survey specifically targeting single users in Hong Kong. The findings were astonishing, with a staggering 77% of single men and women expressing the belief that simply shopping on the streets during Singles’ Day is not enough to fulfil their psychological needs. Instead, they actively seek companionship and the opportunity to “date” on this special day.

Caption

The age group of these singles eager for dates ranges from 27 to 33 years old. They enjoy initiating conversations and invite online friends for in-person dates after chatting online for 3.2 hours on average. Those working in the technology and aviation industries are most willing to go on dates, and surprisingly, good looks have become a significant contributing factor to their single status.

Hong Kong Singles Meet for Dates to Soothe Loneliness After Just 3.2 Hours of Chat

The popular dating app, “JD,” conducted a statistical survey on the topic of “2023 Singles’ Day.” The survey took place from October 5th to 25th, 2023, and involved 1,300 users aged between 22 and 45 in Hong Kong. The analysis of the data from this user group found that a substantial 77% of single men and women believe that on Singles’ Day, they must engage in “pseudo-singleness,” actively inviting online friends for face-to-face dates to break free from the single life. This group of singles, eager for dates ranges from 27 to 33 years old, sending up to 20 dating invitations to friends on the app every day.

To successfully date on Singles’ Day, they have minimal expectations for suitable dates, valuing compatibility in personality and shared interests as the most important factors instead. On average, they would arrange in-person dates after chatting online for 3.2 hours. However, males aged 28 to 32 are the least content with solitude, initiating date invitations after chatting for an average of 2.5 hours and are willing to cover all date expenses for romantic dining experiences.

Better Looks May Increase the Likelihood of Being Single – Technology and Aviation Industry Professionals Are the Most Willing to Meet in Person to Escape Singledom

Could better looks be a reason for remaining single? According to a survey conducted by “JD,” individuals with good looks, both male and female, tend to stay single. An analysis of data from the app’s top 100 most popular users found that 71% of these users have been mistaken for being “in a relationship,” only to reveal the opposite, leading to a surprising result where individuals with better looks are single. Furthermore, nearly half of these users stated that they had been told by others that their “good looks make people feel insecure in a relationship,” which led to breakups. These individuals have long been troubled by the stereotype that good-looking people are always in relationships. Therefore, as the upcoming Singles’ Day approaches, these attractive single men and women are actively seeking to break free from singledom, eager to meet more online friends and arrange dates.

When it comes to professions, those in the technology and aviation industries in Hong Kong show the highest willingness to date. On average, they accept dates from four out of six online friends, which exceeds 60%. Public servants and healthcare professionals also actively seek to expand their social circles. It’s worth noting that 38% of the “JD” users prefer to have dates on Mondays over enjoying a full-day date on the weekend, believing that Monday evening dates are the best way to alleviate “Monday Blues.”

“JD – JustDating” offers hassle-free dating services that allow users to date and meet online friends anywhere, anytime. With unique location and dating features, young men and women can find their matches quickly and accurately. “JD” has members across the USA, Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and various parts of Asia.

BingX Publish Top AI Crypto Coins Comprehensive Guide

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 7 November 2023 – BingX, a leading crypto copy trading platform, has released an insightful guide highlighting the top AI cryptocurrency tokens projected for significant growth in the remainder of Q4 2023. This guide comes on the heels of Arthur Hayes’ speech at the Token 2049 conference in Singapore, where he predicted that the fusion of AI and cryptocurrency would catalyze a major bull market in 2024.
The guide explores the surge in AI tokens, which saw a 39% increase following Hayes’ speech, and emphasizes the critical need for decentralized computing power and storage in the AI sector. This need arises from AI’s heavy reliance on vast amounts of data storage and computing power, which, if centralized, could lead to exorbitant infrastructure costs and technological silos.
Highlighting the potential of projects like Render Network , Akash Network, and Bittensor, BingX’s guide provides a deep dive into the decentralized solutions these tokens offer. Render Network, known for its decentralized GPU computing power rental services, Render Network price seen an increase of 100% post-October due to AI’s growing demand. Akash Network, offering decentralized cloud services, has expanded to include GPU computing power services tailored for AI needs. Akash Network Price has seen a 5x increment since the launch of ChatGPT that rocked the AI world. Bittensor, likened to a decentralized version of ChatGPT, allows users to contribute computing power to run AI models, making the network more efficient.
The guide by BingX is a valuable resource for investors looking to understand the landscape of AI cryptocurrencies and their role in the anticipated bull market. It underscores the unstoppable trend towards decentralization in storage, computing power, and AI applications, expected to continue into 2024 and beyond.
Investors are encouraged to review the guide for detailed price predictions and analyses, which can be found in BingX Top AI Coins 2023. Visit BingX website to buy top AI coins.
