Aventis Aligns Itself With Advancing AI In Light Of Covid-19

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 February 2022 – Aventis Graduate School has aligned itself with the advancing Artificial Intelligence (AI) surrounding the thriving age of digitalisation, following Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat’s announcement regarding Singapore’s readiness to deploy AI at a national scale. A leading education partner offering part-time studies in Singapore, Aventis developed two Graduate Diploma programmes designed to enable students to master the practical understanding of AI, seeing as it is being integrated as well as deployed into a variety of sectors in today’s modern world – AI Strategy in Business and Data Science & Artificial Intelligence.

Singapore’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Vivian Balakrishnan, has emphasised the importance for university students to develop deep technical skills in areas surrounding AI, machine learning, and data analytics – to name a few. As AI is a powerful tool that is transforming the business landscape, Aventis’ AI Graduate Diploma courses will equip students with the necessary expertise to make full use of the workforce multiplier. The Graduate Diploma in AI Strategy in Business seeks to provide students with a nuanced understanding of AI’s practical impacts on an organisation and how to utilise this understanding in terms of evaluating business models for organisational growth. On the other hand, the Graduate Diploma in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence is designed for students to master data science through various aspects such as working hands-on with machine learning models while utilising Python, a high-level programming language.

The Covid-19 pandemic has significantly increased the need for innovation and digitalisation worldwide, leveraging technology to transform the economy and improve lives. Hence, AI can be seen playing a pivotal role in the future for many industries such as the business sector, surging the need for more working individuals equipped with in-depth knowledge surrounding the use of AI. As a result, Aventis has developed an AI syllabus in which students learn the latest AI trends, their current landscape, and their application in business strategy – enabling students to utilise practical AI strategies for their businesses. While Aventis tackled the struggles of learning amid the pandemic through the implementation of online Zoom classes, students can still have hands-on experimentation on AI and machine learning through the online model, Python. 

Aventis Graduate School is a leading international graduate business institution with over 15 years of successful track record, helping students succeed career-wise by aligning goals with their 3 pillars – aspire, achieve, accomplish.

Apple Storage Curates a New VIP Storage Experience

First-ever “Mini Storage x Co-working Space x Clubhouse Service” in Hong Kong

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 14 February 2022 – Many people in Hong Kong are facing the problem of limited space as property prices in Hong Kong are sky-high due to the scarcity of land and the sizes are getting smaller. To solve the problem of lack of space, many people choose to rent mini storage to store their belongings, miscellaneous items and even company documents, so as to create more living space for their homes and offices. Recently, Apple Storage Premium, a new brand under Apple Storage, the leader in mini storage, has been launched to create a unique “Mini Storage x Co-working Space x Clubhouse Service” concept in Hong Kong, which can not only meet the needs of general household storage, but also help online shop owners and start-ups to start their own business, store and ship their goods, and save a lot of money.

New Concept – Co-working Space

The Apple Storage Group has always been committed to giving back to the community by actively participating in charity activities. At the same time, we understand that many people in Hong Kong wish to start their businesses or become online shop owners, but the high rent of commercial buildings in Hong Kong has disrupted their plans.

One-stop Smart Warehouse Management

To help users and companies manage their storage items faster and easier, Apple Storage Group has revolutionized the traditional mini storage framework with its new brand Apple Storage Premium, the first self storage smart management system that allows users to keep an inventory of their storage items at their fingertips, so they can easily manage or adjust their storage items in real-time and improve efficiency.

 

A Clubhouse-like Service Experience

In order to help customers make the best use of their storage space, Apple Storage has created a revolutionary on-site storage consultancy service. All of the consultants are certified by the Japan Shuno Licensing Association and have professional storage skills, so they can share their experience with customers and provide assistance on the spot. Apple Storage also have a 24-hour customer service hotline to follow up on all kinds of inquiries, acting as a personal assistant to the customers, so that their services can be more personalized and diversified to meet the daily storage needs of our customers, and to provide them with a privileged and heartfelt service experience.

May Life Bloom Like a Blossom – “Vital Blooming: Hu Ke-min Retrospective” will be held in Taipei on 16 Feb

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 14 February 2022 – An opening is to be held on February 16, at 3 p.m., for “Vital Blooming: Hu Ke-min Retrospective” at the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall’s Bo-Ai Gallery where it is due to run until March 2.

 

Hu stands out as one of the traditional Chinese painting masters who relocated from mainland China to Taiwan in the late 1940s. He is best known for his bird-and-flower painting and copies of Dunhuang murals. On display at this exhibition are nearly 140 works; alongside the “Chromatic Color,” “Achromatic Color,” and “Dunhuang Frescoes” series are a number of snow landscapes and calligraphic pieces.

 

Also featured are “Hundred Flowers” and “Ink and Wash Vegetables” Hu created in 1958 and 1978 respectively. Of the former, a collection of ink and wash sketches of Taiwan’s great variety of exotic or rare flowers, readily appealing to the eye are his calligraphic touches and boneless painting rendition. A masterly combination of sketch and freehand brushwork painting, the later series depict 36 vegetables common in daily diets.

 

This exhibition can be traced all the way to the ecstatically palpitating experience of Madame Li Zhong-hua, the curator, when she stood before a Mayling orchid painting of Hu’s for the first time years ago. She went on to study painting under Hu’s tutelage and thus had the opportunity to follow her mentor’s subsequent artistic career up close and personal. Collecting Hu’s works over the years has been her way to cherish Hu’s memory. And now she aspires to extend Hu’s artistic life by getting the world to rediscover his works. To share her treasured aesthetic experience with the younger generation and hopefully with posterity, Li has also put together Hu’s lifetime of works onto the Internet (https://hukemin-portfolio.mystrikingly.com/). Her last wish is to make real her mentor’s—return some of Hu’s works to Changzhou, Jiangsu province on the mainland and house them in a memorial museum in his hometown.

Discover Unique Vintage Toys & Memorabilia With New Virtual Museum Tours At The MINT Museum Of Toys

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 14 February 2022 – The MINT Museum of Toys has recently reopened its doors to the public for in-person viewings, complementing the ultimate museum experience by introducing 360° virtual museum tours which provides visitors a good glimpse and introduction of 2 of its permanent exhibitions.

Learn about vintage toys and memorabilia from the safety and comfort of home with the MINT Museum of Toys’ new virtual museum tours. Explore the ‘Collectables’ and ‘Childhood Favourites’ permanent exhibitions through interactive digital modes of participation.

 

This digital project adds an interactive digital dimension to the museum’s displays and is an experience that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere for visitors – local and international alike!

 

Using Virtual Platforms to Extend the Museum’s Collections to a Larger Audience

Many museums globally are now using virtual platforms to increase the accessibility and outreach of their exhibitions.

 

This change has been brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, but also by broader trends within the heritage and cultural institution world to innovate the traditional museum experience.

 

The MINT Museum of Toys has released its own virtual museum tours featuring the ‘Collectables’ and ‘Childhood Favourites’ exhibitions, with over 100 interactive touchpoints across both tours.

 

Exploring Vintage Collectables and Childhood Favourites Toys in a Different Light

The ‘Collectables’ virtual tour includes themed collections that trace centuries of play, reflecting how major global events have affected the world of toys. Hands-on exhibits show how toys have captured and responded to historical, political, and cultural changes like the Industrial Revolution, and the Globalisation and Commercialisation of the 19th and 20th centuries. Visitors can learn how toys are not just mere playthings, but also valuable historical artefacts that document and preserve the past.

 

Whereas the ‘Childhood Favourites’ virtual tour offers visitors a glimpse into different experiences of early childhood across the world, while showcasing some of the museum’s rarest and most sought-after toys. Young visitors will especially enjoy a three-part storytelling session as part of the Puppetry collection, as well as interactive touchpoints that give the museum’s Teddy Bears and Dolls From Around The World a voice to tell their stories.

 

Both virtual tours use interactive elements and content-based touchpoints to give visitors a glimpse beyond traditional museum labels. This includes further information on the toys’ history and origins, voice-over narration to give the collections a guided tour touch, and minigames that allow visitors to have fun while diving into the toys’ backgrounds.

 

Through these multi-sensory touchpoints, visitors can be immersed in the time period the toy originated in, enabling them to learn and understand the deeper stories within.

 

Interested members of the public can purchase virtual museum tours for ‘Collectables’ ($5) and ‘Childhood Favourites’ ($8) via the Virtual Museum Tour page on the MINT Museum of Toys website.

 

The MINT Museum of Toys has launched virtual museum tours as part of an overarching digitalisation strategy to grant people all over the world access to their unique collections and exhibitions. By leveraging digital tools, the museum is ensuring that audiences who are unable to visit the museum in-person can still learn from and enjoy its collections.

 

Creating digital products also innovates the traditional museum experience, providing visitors with a refreshing and new way to learn, get curious, and anticipate upcoming changes to the museum’s vintage toy collection. Ultimately, this complements physical tours and acts as a stepping stone to get visitors interested in seeing and understanding the full collection in-person.

 

This digital initiative is proudly supported by the National Heritage Board.
