The Centre previously pioneered the unique “HK$5,000 Self-Fulfilment Programme” where youth lead in planning activities with social worker support, fostering learning and community contribution. It also launched the “Soundwave Label Project,” providing rehearsal and performance spaces to support teenagers pursuing musical careers. The Centre actively hosts various free workshops, promoting cultural inclusivity, supporting local original music, and showcasing diverse cultures through events popular with young people, such as Japanese underground idol music shows, doujin summer festivals, and K-pop dance performances. These initiatives provide opportunities for teenagers to explore new interests.

Free Self-Service Party Room for Youth

Since its renovation in October 2022, Hong Kong Playground Association Jockey Club Tsing Yi Integrated Service Centre for Children & Youth has become even more attuned to the needs of young people, offering a diverse development platform. The Centre’s “Youth Ownership” programme empowers young people to lead initiatives and contribute to youth development, with social worker assistance, integrating their voices into community projects and services. The renovation, themed around career development, focuses on “co-creation and connection.” Key features include a multi-purpose performance stage and self-service spaces, carefully designed with teenagers’ career aspirations in mind. The Centre not only provides an innovative and interactive environment and various enriching activities but also emphasizes the development of soft skills, including analytical thinking, problem-solving, self-management, and teamwork—laying a solid foundation for teenagers’ future careers.

The Centre features a self-service party room, bookable online. Located on the 3rd floor, the party room offers complimentary beverages and snacks, creating a comfortable and fun gathering space. Members enjoy free access to numerous facilities, including a band room, board games,Switch, PlayStation 5, indoor billiards, and karaoke equipment.

Party room bookings are for a minimum of two hours, with longer durations available depending on the number of participants. At least half of the attendees must be aged 10-24 to ensure the space is used in line with the Centre’s mission.

HK$5,000 Self-Fulfilment Programme for Youth Events

Hong Kong Playground Association Jockey Club Tsing Yi Integrated Service Centre for Children & Youth, has successfully organised numerous events, particularly in music and dance. A key initiative is the “HK$5,000 Self-Fulfilment Programme” empowering youth to independently plan and execute projects with social worker support. Young people form teams, design their activities, and present their proposals to the Centre. Successful applicants receive up to HK$5,000 in funding for event preparation, music video production, original music creation, and performance opportunities. Funding covers various aspects, including interpersonal and resource support (member recruitment, instructor fees, equipment), materials and supplies, venue provision, and promotional support (market fees, stage setup, and publicity). The Centre aims to help young people pursue their dreams, spark creativity, and achieve seemingly impossible goals.

Celebrating Japanese & Korean Culture

The Centre actively promotes cultural inclusivity, particularly the fusion of Japanese culture and local original music, allowing young people to explore and create within a multicultural environment. The past “Interval Original Music Project” provided professional training and career guidance to musically inclined youth, featuring various music-themed events. The “Interval Summer Music Festival,” entirely organised by 10-24-year-olds, showcased six local independent bands, with youth handling all aspects of the event, attracting over 100 attendees. A pop music composition class, led by local musician GooChan, offered professional guidance. The “Listen To Your Dreams” Kwai Tsing District Youth Singing Competition encouraged young people to showcase their musical talents. The popular “Music Free Jam Night,” co-organized with Amusing Studio, featured professional musicians and provided a platform for youth musical interaction. This project not only offered performance opportunities but also taught participants event planning and management, enhancing their practical experience in the music industry.

Through the unique “$5,000 Self-Fulfilment Programme” young people seeking performance opportunities actively submitted proposals, showcasing underground idol culture and applying for funding. Underground idol culture remains niche in Hong Kong, with limited public understanding and insufficient income to cover high rehearsal and venue rental costs, resulting in limited performance opportunities. The Centre provided venue and funding, with youth trained in the Interval Project managing sound and lighting for a debut performance attracting over 120 attendees. The enthusiastic audience response provided valuable encouragement and marked a significant step in the performers’ journey. This event not only provided a platform for young people to showcase their talents but also offered invaluable practical experience, laying a solid foundation for future, larger-scale events. This initiative not only supports the development of underground idol culture but also demonstrates the Centre’s commitment to fostering youth cultural exchange and practical opportunities.

Free Cultural Workshops for Career Development

Hong Kong Playground Association Jockey Club Tsing Yi Integrated Service Centre for Children & Youth, has hosted a series of successful events, fostering creativity and cultural exchange among young people. Past events include a Cantonese songwriting workshop led by online singer DS and lyricist Fong Yuet, providing young people with songwriting techniques and career guidance to inspire their creative potential. Following the workshop, a doujin Cantonese music concert showcased the participants’ talents and facilitated musical exchange with external artists performing Japanese songs with Cantonese lyrics. The Centre also supported a youth-led doujin summer festival, providing a platform for showcasing Japanese-style performances and attracting a large young audience. These activities built confidence, developed creativity, and expanded social networks, creating a vibrant cultural gathering.

Beyond music, dance activities have also thrived. The youth-organised Kpop Random Play Dance 3.0 event demonstrated young people’s organisational skills and creativity, encompassing sound, lighting, and promotion. The Dance Cover filming activity provided choreography workshops and costume support for dance enthusiasts, enabling them to create impressive dance videos. At the Tsing Yi Integrated Service Centre, the concept of cultural inclusivity intertwines music and dance, providing a platform for young people to connect and grow. Young people can not only enjoy the appeal of subcultures but also actively participate in the creation and performance of music and dance, ensuring everyone finds their stage in this multicultural environment.

The information of different activities and interesting activity videos will be produced by Hong Kong Playground Association Jockey Club Tsing Yi Integrated Service Center for Children & Youth’s official Instagram: hkpatyi. If you are interested in joining the center’s activities, using the self-service space and adding value to yourself in spare time, you can track and pay attention to it.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2024 – Alphind healthcare, the creator of Whole Person Care intelligence activation solutions, today announced the opening of its APAC regional headquarters and the Xealei™ Experience Arena, alongside the establishing a regional Advisory Panel. Situated at T-Space in Tampines, the Xealei™ Experience Arena is dedicated to driving practical research and development in aged care and caregiving through collaboration with public and private sector organisations as well as academic institutions. Alphind’s APAC HQ launch event, which is scheduled on 13 November, is supported by Ageing Asia, Asia Pacific’s first Industry network on the business of Ageing, and a member of Singapore Centre for Social Enterprise (raiSE) and Singapore Business Federation (SBF).

The healthcare sector has long struggled with fragmented, episodic disease-focused data trapped within isolated medical and business systems. The rapid pace of digital health innovation and the rise of “shiny object” disruptions have only exacerbated data fragmentation, complicating interoperability and coordination. Additionally, concerns surrounding artificial intelligence often revolve around issues of trustworthiness and completeness.

Alphind healthcare goes beyond traditional data analytics and emerging healthcare AI by activating Whole Person Care intelligence through a novel approach known as “The Alphind Way.” Launched in the U.S. in 2023 and adapted for the APAC region last month, Xealei™, the first step towards realising this approach activates motion-sensing intelligence to enhance safety, improve care quality and ensure compliance without compromising privacy.

“Choosing Singapore as the home for Alphind’s APAC headquarters was an obvious decision,” said Ez Bala, Founder and CEO of Alphind Group. “The challenges related to ageing and caregiving in Singapore are accelerating faster than in many parts of the world. By empowering seniors and caregivers through intelligence activation, we aim to help seniors maintain their vitality and independence, thereby reducing reliance on institutional care and family support.” Bala further emphasized that for Alphind, whole person care is a personal calling pursued with empathy and pragmatism. “We believe that our Whole Person Care Intelligence, combined with modern experience design, can facilitate holistic healthy ageing and attract more caregivers to the profession. Our participation at the World Ageing Festival 2024 reaffirmed our cultural fit within the APAC region and that we belong here.”

“To achieve holistic person care, we must bring together physical and behavioural health and wellness, Omics and social determinants of health (SDoH), and the individual’s voice,” stated Dr. Ron Ribitzky, M.D., Alphind’s Global Head of Life Sciences and Marketing. “This requires a collaborative effort to modernise data aggregation beyond any single healthcare organization, elevate data hidden in disparate information sources into intelligence, and activate that intelligence throughout each person’s healthcare journey.” He further emphasized that focusing on experience design is crucial for realising the intended Return on Adoption.

Partnering with Moods, the Xealei™ Experience Arena features a fully equipped studio apartment designed to demonstrate how seniors age gracefully at home or in nursing homes while reducing caregiver’s workflow and administrative burden, thereby improving their working experience and job satisfaction.

“A first step towards activating Whole Person Care intelligence, Xealei™ is an ambient, smart enterprise workflow platform connected to motion sensors. Xealei™ enables caregivers to intervene proactively and respond quickly to a broad range of potentially harmful motion events and patterns beyond falls; and enjoy an extended scope of configurable, contextually intelligent workflows beyond alerting,” explained Kenneth Massey, Head of Alphind’s Global Delivery Center of Excellence in India, where a centralised global expert team collaborates with Geo-based local staff, clients and ecosystem partners. “Alphind is rolling out multiple intelligence activation solutions in 2025 from Vital Sign Intelligence to Effective Care Intelligence Whole Person Health Score, and Managed Care Intelligence, among others,” Ken added, “We invite like-minded organisations and academic institutions to join our Advanced Data Science R&D program.”

‘”We are glad to support Alphind healthcare’s launch in Singapore and welcome this partnership as a step toward fostering initiatives that address the unique needs of older adults. Alphind demonstrates how their solution leveraging personal care intelligence can drive positive change and support healthy longevity. Empowering seniors through intelligence activation helps them stay vital and independent, reducing the need for institutional care,” said Janice Chia, founder of Ageing Asia.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 12 November 2024 – Financial security is a vital element of successful trading. By tapping into transparent and beneficial trading conditions, including low transaction fees and tight spreads, retail traders can secure their outcomes and protect themselves from unplanned costs. Octa, a global broker since 2011, breaks down the significant impact that trading conditions have on traders’ performance.

Financial outcomes and emotions: a mutual dependency
Successful traders often emphasise the importance of emotional equilibrium for achieving positive outcomes. For any trader, regardless of trading style, consistent positive results are almost impossible without the ability to control emotions that can lead to excessive greed, frustration, or gullibility.

Many approaches help traders reach the positive, goal-focused state of mind required to turn trading knowledge and skills into actual gains. However, one crucial facet of the trading journey that significantly impacts traders’ psychology is often overlooked. While the excitement that goes hand in hand with successful trades is a powerful motivational driver for many, it is the financial outcome that counts at the end of the day. In turn, the outcome directly depends on the trading conditions the broker imposes on its clients.

Various hidden fees and commissions are deducted from traders’ gains, impacting their ability to achieve short-term and long-term goals. Sometimes, brokers fail to properly inform their clients about the imposed costs or simply take advantage of their trust. In this case, the revaluation of the trading session result can come as a surprise, and the trader’s mental state suffers a hard blow. It can be extremely discouraging and infuriating to see the profits drastically diminished due to charges the trader was unaware of or has not counted in.

Better trading conditions as a prerequisite of success
When brokers like Octa offer commission-free trading, they remove a substantial transactional cost, which is especially relevant for scalpers and intraday traders. These trading styles involve dozens and even hundreds of trades per session and highly depend on tight cost controls to reach profitability. By eliminating commissions, brokers create a spread-only pricing model, where traders pay only the bid-ask spread without additional charges. Zero-commission trading also helps eliminate the psychological barrier to entering and exiting trades, enabling better risk management and more controlled, emotion-free decision-making.

The same is true about brokers who offer low spreads. The incremental nature of spreads, which apply to each individual trade regardless of its volume, also allows those trading with better conditions to save a substantial amount, increasing their gains and reducing losses.

Another high-value element of superior trading conditions, which results in more control over trading sessions, is a fast and efficient withdrawal procedure. By establishing a transparent, user-friendly transactional mechanism and offering a broad variety of withdrawal options, brokers not only show a client-oriented approach to business but also send a clear message to their clients about their reliability. After all, receiving their gains in due time using the payment system of their choosing is a key psychological factor for traders that inevitably impacts their mental game going forward.

Attractive trading conditions play a significant role in creating a positive overall traders’ experience and building a trading environment that fosters a result-oriented attitude and personal growth. Octa, a global trader with extensive experience, provides its clients with zero commissions, fast and efficient withdrawals, and some of the tightest spreads on the market so that they can fully focus on achieving their financial goals.
