SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 27 February 2025 – The International Youth Dance Competition (IYDC) is set to return in 2025, bringing together young dancers from all over the world to celebrate artistic excellence and technical mastery. In 2025, IYDC will be held in China, Singapore and Thailand.

A Holistic Approach to Dance

The IYDC employs a distinctive judging approach, using a scoring system that awards Gold, Silver, or Bronze bandings based on each participant’s individual performance, rather than ranking dancers against one another. This system aims to recognise personal achievement, encouraging dancers to concentrate on their own development and progress while minimising the focus on direct competition.

Pathway to IYDC Ambassadorship

Dancers scoring Silver and above will be able to qualify for the Elite showcase, where they perform at an advanced level. IYDC Ambassadors are selected from this group every year based on criteria such as performance, dedication, and the ability to inspire others. From there, they gain access to various opportunities, such as special performance invitations at IYDC events, features in international dance campaigns, and the chance to mentor and represent IYDC in future editions.

Opportunities Beyond the Competition

In addition to the competition, the IYDC provides several avenues for professional development. Participants can benefit from direct mentorship from world-class professionals, allowing them to explore new techniques, receive feedback, and gain insights into advanced dance practices.

The event also serves as a platform for networking, allowing dancers to connect with peers from various countries, exchange ideas, and establish professional relationships. The IYDC regularly attracts esteemed adjudicators and partners with renowned dance institutions such as McDonald College (Australia) and Bird College (United Kingdom), providing participants with access to potential scholarships and career opportunities.

AQ Dance Academy to Participate in IYDC Chengdu 2025

Singapore has consistently been well-represented at the International Youth Dance Competition (IYDC), with several local dance academies taking part in previous editions and achieving high standards of performance.

In 2025, AQ Dance Academy will join this distinguished group by leading a team of students to IYDC Chengdu. This will not be the academy’s first time at the competition; in 2024, they received several Gold Awards in the Solos and Group Categories in Singapore. The Best Teamwork Award and Best Choreography Award were awarded to AQ Dance Academy in the Level 3 Small Group – Lyrical/Contemporary category and Level 2 Small Group – Ballet category respectively. AQ Dance Academy’s participation in IYDC aligns with the academy’s focus on supporting students’ growth in a positive and encouraging environment.

Through this event, the academy aims to provide students with a cultural exchange experience and broaden their perspectives. Observing and learning from Chinese dancers, known for their classical technique and artistry, will deepen students’ understanding of global dance standards. For AQ Dance Academy, this event will be a chance for their young dancers to showcase their abilities on an international stage while continuing their artistic development.

IYDC Chengdu will take place from 1st to 3rd May 2025 at the China Sichuan Cultural & Arts Centre.

AI Mentor emphasizes data security, efficiency, and accuracy, showcasing KCM Trade‘s commitment to innovation and education.

In-House AI Team: Maximum Security, Zero Third-Party Dependence
While many financial companies rely on third-party AI systems, only a handful of truly capable firms, such as global banking giants, possess the resources and expertise to develop in-house AI solutions. KCM Trade, however, has taken a more proactive approach by forming a dedicated R&D team in the APAC region. This team comprises 15 AI and financial experts from diverse international backgrounds, enabling AI Mentor to innovate independently and securely.

“By developing our proprietary AI APP, we deliver exceptional data security. Unlike third-party AI solutions that may share client data externally, our proprietary AI system removes third-party involvement, reducing risks in data transactions and ensuring maximum security for our clients. This approach enhances scalability and innovation, making AI Mentor a truly transformative tool for traders.” explained the AI Mentor R&D Team at KCM Trade.

The Mission Behind AI Mentor
AI Mentor‘s mission is to empower traders, not replace them. By combining the precision of artificial intelligence with emotional intelligence, the platform delivers real-time market analysis while supporting users on their individual paths to growth. It is important to note that AI Mentor does not provide trading strategy advice to clients. Instead, it enables users to make informed decisions based on their own knowledge and analysis.

AI Mentor‘s 5-Step Process to Elevate Users’ Trading Journey

Listen & Learn
The platform starts by analysing each user’s trading behavior, goals, and risk tolerance. For instance, it can identify patterns, such as:
“a trader executing 50 trades in a week with an average holding time of 5 minutes, AI Mentor will highlight the client’s ability to make quick decisions and suggest areas for improvement…”

First Step to Confident Trading
New to trading and unsure where to start? AI Mentor anticipates user’s needs as a gentle guide and receive bite-sized starting points like:
“Understanding CFD Basics”
“5 Key Metrics Every Trader Should Track”
“How to Spot Market Trends in 10 Minutes”
Click any topic, and AI Mentor transforms complexity into clarity with step-by-step walkthroughs. Each topic unlocks step-by-step paths—no prior knowledge needed.

Simplify Complexity
AI Mentor cuts through market noise to deliver clear, actionable insights, enabling traders to make informed decisions quickly. It distills key economic indicators into concise and meaningful guidance, for example:
“if user want to know today’s key market events, instead of analyzing lengthy reports, AI Mentor highlights essential figures and their market impact concisely. It also integrates multiple data sources, such as gold prices are once again approaching record highs, Australia’s employment data (January) and U.S. jobless claims data (as of February 15), ensuring traders stay focused on critical market-moving developments.”

Immersive Learning
Every trading activity becomes a valuable learning opportunity. AI Mentor delivers micro-learning insights to enhance user understanding, gradually guiding users toward deeper exploration, for example:
“when users inquire about today’s key market events, AI Mentor not only provides relevant market news but also offers additional insights to enrich their comprehension, such as ‘trade performance analysis’ and ‘guidance on assessing the impact of economic data on the market.’ AI Mentor believes that such supplementary information is essential for users to grow and learn effectively throughout their trading journey.”

Grow Together
The system evolves alongside its users, continuously adapting and improving to serve as a personal trading tutor.

Trade Into Tomorrow: Advanced Tools for the Future
Currently, AI Mentor is in its beta phase and available to clients by invitation only. Exciting enhancements are on the horizon as we roll out planned updates designed to elevate users’ trading experience with advanced tools, real-time insights, and personalized reporting.

News Integration
By connecting with additional news aggregators globally through paid and non-paid channels, we will deliver real-time updates on market-moving events with a single click.

Moving beyond standard reports, traders will be able to instantly generate self-customized reports 24/7.

A Historic Re-Release in Japan
The wide re-release in Japan signifies not only a cultural bridge but is also a testament to the film’s universal appeal. This event is a landmark for Singaporean cinema, proving its potential to engage and captivate international audiences beyond arthouse and dramatic films.

Directed by the visionary Rich Ho, the film is the result of 12 years of dedication and perseverance, reflecting a journey that began from a small modest public housing flat in Singapore. The production traversed global borders and cultures, resulting in a cinematic piece worked on by hundreds of cast and crew from all over the world. “This project was born out of a deep desire to encourage others to never give up. I also wanted to show how, with love and respect (humor and food too), the world can learn to work and walk together towards a common vision,” says Ho, emphasizing the film’s message of hope, collaboration, and the transformative power of dreams.

10T Tech Unveils Another eSIM Industry First: Multi-SM-DP+ As Standard

BARCELONA, Spain, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — 10T Tech, a global leader in eSIM Orchestration, has taken a huge leap forward in how eSIM solutions are delivered to mobile carriers. Today, in the lead up to Mobile World Congress, they launched the world’s first eSIM platform to be multi-SM-DP+ as standard. This new solution can be delivered in under 2 weeks.

Revolutionary Multi-SM-DP+ Capability

Building upon the success of its My10T Smart Orchestration platform launched in February 2024, 10T Tech leads the way in solving the challenge of how carriers can integrate multiple eSIM solutions with their existing infrastructure through a single API.

Advantages of a Multi-SM-DP+ Solution

1.    Enhanced Interoperability:
My10T Smart Orchestration can integrate with multiple GSMA-compliant eSIM platforms simultaneously.

2.    Enhanced Resilience and Redundancy:
A multi-SM-DP+ structure can be used with a primary SM-DP+ for normal traffic and a secondary as a backup to which traffic can be quickly diverted in the event of an outage on the primary.

Real-time error tracking on the primary SM-DP+ ensures any outage is picked up immediately, enabling prompt diversion of traffic and minimising impact on subscriber experience.

3.    Expanded Functionality:
Some SM-DP+ platforms have particular strengths in add-on services such as Multi-IMSI capabilities or Device Entitlement. My10T Smart Orchestration allows the carrier to consolidate these different strengths into one solution.

4.    Unified Management of Advanced Customer Journeys for both Consumer and IoT:
In the increasingly competitive eSIM market, advanced customer journeys have become crucial for differentiation. My10T Smart Orchestration allows mobile carriers to access different advanced customer journeys from different SM-DP+ platforms, all through a single, intuitive user interface. This capability extends to both consumer and IoT use cases, enabling carriers to support IoT deployments alongside traditional consumer eSIM services.

Empowering Tomorrows eSIM Ecosystem

Fredric Liljestroem, Founder and CEO of 10T Tech, commented on this latest innovation: “With the introduction of our multi-SMDP+ solution, we’re not just enhancing My10T Smart Orchestration – this industry-first development revolutionises how successful mobile carriers approach eSIM management on a global scale.”

From Japan to India – Agoda Highlights 5 Enchanting Cherry Blossom Destinations in Asia

SINGAPORE, Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As Japan looks forward to the start of cherry blossom season in March, digital travel platform Agoda shares five destinations in Japan and beyond where travelers can experience the visual spectacle of the pink flower.

The cherry blossom season, also known as Sakura, offers travelers the chance to witness these stunning but fleeting blooms. Many travelers will have their eyes set on Japan, the destination most famous for cherry blossom viewing. But in addition to Japan, Agoda highlights four alternative destinations across Asia where the pink blossoms can be seen.

Hiroto Ooka, Associate Vice President North Asia at Agoda said: “Cherry blossom season is a time of joy and renewal, offering travelers a chance to connect with both nature and culture. While Japan is famous for its cherry blossoms, other parts of Asia, like South Korea, India and Thailand, also offer breathtaking displays of these pink blooms. At Agoda, we’re excited to help travelers discover these beautiful destinations by offering great value deals on accommodations and flights.”

The below list shows where to enjoy the spectacular cherry blossoms in Asia:

Taipei, Taiwan (March)

Taiwan’s cherry blossoms might not be as well-known as Japan’s, but they offer an equally enchanting experience. Yangmingshan National Park, north of Taipei, is a standout location where visitors can enjoy the beautiful blooms against the backdrop of Taiwan’s stunning landscapes. The park also offers hot springs and hiking trails, making it a perfect spot for nature enthusiasts to explore beyond the blossoms in Taiwan’s spring season.

Kochi, Japan (March and April)

Each season, Kochi is one of the first places in Japan to experience the cherry blossoms, with the peak expected at the end of March. Unlike the bustling parks of Tokyo and Kyoto, Kochi’s Makino Botanical Garden provides a more intimate setting for Hanami, the tradition of enjoying cherry blossoms with picnics and festivities, which allows visitors to take in the beauty of Sakura in a peaceful setting.

Jeju Island, South Korea (March and April)

On Jeju Island, the Sakura season is expected to last from late March to early April. Jeju National University is famous for its King Cherry Trees and hosts the Jeju Cherry Blossom Festival, which features performances and street food. Many visitors dress in traditional hanbok costumes for memorable photos.

Shillong, India (November)

In India, one of the best places to see the floral Sakura spectacle is in Shillong, the capital city of Meghalaya. Every November, the Shillong Cherry Blossom Festival attracts both locals and tourists to northeast India, celebrating the blooms with music, food, and cultural events.

Chiang Mai, Thailand (December – February)

For those who prefer to plan well in advance, the Sakura season in Chiang Mai, Thailand is worth considering. It usually takes place between late December and mid-February. Khun Chang Kian Highland Agriculture Research Center in Chiang Mai is known for its wild Himalayan cherry blossoms, offering a unique viewing experience. Doi Suthep-Pui National Park provides beautiful cherry blossom views amidst the park’s lush greenery.

For those planning a trip to Japan, Agoda has a special guide on how to enjoy cherry blossoms on a budget. With over 5 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities available, Agoda offers travelers the flexibility to craft a personalized cherry blossom adventure.
