    Chinese automaker Guangzhou Automobile Group Co., Ltd (GAC Group) has introduced two of its electric vehicle (EV) models to the Ethiopian market, marking the Chinese car brand’s entry into the East African country.

    The company unveiled its AION Y and ES9 models on Saturday at a launch event in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia.

    Addressing the event, Zeleke Temesgen, commissioner of the Ethiopian Investment Commission, said the government has taken bold measures to encourage the adoption of EVs to accelerate the country’s transition to electric mobility.

    “The Ethiopian government has already banned the production, import, and assembly of gas-powered cars, so Ethiopia would be an ideal market for reputable companies like GAC Group,” said Temesgen.

    Appreciating GAC Group’s commitment to launching its EV brand in Ethiopia, the commissioner called on the company to set up a manufacturing plant so as to take advantage of favorable investment and massive market opportunities, and accelerate Ethiopia’s green mobility.

    Bareo Hassen, Ethiopian state minister of transport and logistics, said the government aspires to achieve green mobility “in the shortest time possible” with the goal of conserving energy and supporting the national economy.

    As part of the government’s push for a transition to electric mobility, more than 100,000 EVs are currently on the road across Ethiopia, which aims to have up to 500,000 EVs in the next 10 years, replacing the majority of cars powered by fossil fuels.

    Ethiopia is also working to expand EV production and the installation of public charging stations, and offering support and various incentives to private investors, such as free or leased land for investors in EV after-sales services, according to the Ministry of Transport and Logistics.

    Wei Haigang, president of GAC International, said the company, through its partner Huajian Group, will sell electric vehicles, establish charging infrastructure, and initiate local assembly operations in Ethiopia.

    Noting Ethiopia’s high potential for the EV market, Wei said GAC Group will engage in EV production in the future to tap into the huge market and support the country’s transition to electric mobility.

    Under the frameworks of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation and the Belt and Road Initiative, China-Africa agricultural cooperation has yielded fruitful results in recent years.

    Through technology transfer, infrastructure development, equipment upgrade and industrial chain expansion, China has substantially boosted Africa’s agricultural productivity and sustainable development capacities, injecting strong momentum into the continent’s modernization drive.

    Moving forward, China is committed to fully implementing its plan to support Africa’s agricultural modernization, notably by tackling development bottlenecks and fostering innovative cooperation, so as to extend the benefits of modernization and usher in a new era of China-Africa agricultural partnership.

    TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

    As the rainy season waned in late March in Madagascar, lush paddies blanketed the landscape of Mahitsy, a town about 35 km northwest of the capital, Antananarivo. At the China Hybrid Rice High-Yield Demonstration Base, Chinese agricultural expert Hu Yuefang walked through the fields, pausing to examine rice stalks alongside local farmers.

    Rice is Madagascar’s primary staple, occupying roughly half of the country’s cultivated agricultural land. Yet for years, low-quality seeds and outdated farming methods have hindered productivity, leaving domestic demand unmet.

    To help Madagascar achieve food self-sufficiency, China launched a hybrid rice demonstration center project in the country in 2007, aiming to promote high-quality hybrid rice varieties, transfer advanced farming techniques, and boost crop yields.

    After years of dedicated efforts, Chinese experts have successfully developed five hybrid rice varieties tailored to local conditions, achieving average yields of 7.5 tonnes per hectare — two to three times that of local varieties. These high-yield strains have been cultivated across a cumulative area of about 90,000 hectares nationwide, making Madagascar the largest grower of hybrid rice in Africa.

    Femosoa Rakatondrazala, a farmer from Mahitsy, switched to planting hybrid rice three years ago. He said the crop has transformed his family’s life: “Hybrid rice brought us new hope. We used to struggle to feed ourselves, but now we have a surplus to sell and even save up to buy more land.”

    Michel Anondraka, director general of agriculture and livestock at Madagascar’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, praised China’s contribution to the country’s agricultural progress. “Hybrid rice is a high-yield variety, and increasing its production will ensure Madagascar’s rice self-sufficiency,” he said.

    Today, Chinese hybrid rice has been introduced to over 20 African countries. As China-Africa agricultural cooperation deepens, a growing number of Chinese-aided projects have taken root across the continent, bolstering food security and nudging African agriculture toward modernization.

    In Tanzania’s Morogoro Region, China Agricultural University launched the “Small Technology, Big Harvest” project in 2011, promoting China’s maize-intensive planting technique. Starting with a single household in one village, the project now spans more than 10 villages and over 1,000 households, with maize yields doubling on average.

    In Rwanda, China’s Juncao technology has enabled 4,000-plus households to shift to mushroom farming, creating over 30,000 jobs. The technology has now been introduced to over 100 countries, with 17 demonstration bases established globally.

    Under the first three-year action plan of the China-Africa Cooperation Vision 2035, China has dispatched over 500 agricultural experts and trained nearly 9,000 professionals. By 2023, China had built 24 agricultural technology demonstration centers in Africa, promoting over 300 advanced technologies. These efforts have increased crop yields by an average of 30-60 percent, benefiting over 1 million smallholder farmers.

    CHINESE SOLUTIONS

    On the undulating plains of Siaya County in western Kenya, newly built irrigation canals stretch across the fields. Along one channel, farmer Peter Onyango directed river water into freshly dug furrows in readiness for vegetable planting.

    The canals are part of the Lower Nzoia Irrigation Development Project, the largest of its kind in Kenya. Constructed by China’s Sino Hydro Company Limited, the project’s main structures were completed and operational in April 2024, bringing water to parched farmland along the project line.

    Agriculture is the backbone of Kenya’s economy, employing roughly 70 percent of the population. Yet only about 4 percent of the country’s arable land is irrigated, leaving farmers heavily dependent on unpredictable rainfall. The project, including 111-km irrigation canals, 71-km drainage canals, and 736-km field canals, plays a vital role in addressing this challenge and enhancing agricultural productivity.

    According to Kenya’s National Irrigation Authority, the project’s first phase, set for completion in May 2025, will irrigate more than 4,000 hectares on Nzoia River’s left bank, benefiting 12,600 farmers. A second phase will extend irrigation to another 4,000-plus hectares on the right bank.

    During a site visit in January, Kenyan President William Ruto said the project would help expand irrigated farmland, urging farmers to make full use of the infrastructure to boost food production and support the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda.

    Edward Mare Muya, a Kenyan irrigation agronomist, said the Chinese enterprise applied modern technology, innovative approaches and scientific management throughout the infrastructure, which serves as a model to accelerate Kenya — and Africa at large — from rain-fed farming to sustainable irrigation-based agriculture.

    In South Africa, China’s intelligent devices are transforming modern farming. At Fountainhill Estate in KwaZulu-Natal Province, sugarcane fields swayed gently in the breeze as a drone from Chinese tech firm XAG hovered just three meters above the crops, precisely spraying fungicides.

    Covering 2,250 hectares, the farm had long struggled with Eldana moth infestations, with traditional manual pesticide application proving inefficient and wasteful. “The Chinese drones have completely changed the whole farming practices,” said farm manager Deon Burger.

    The key advantage of drone operations lies in their efficiency. Agricultural service contractor Johan Prinsloo explained that manually spraying pesticides over 40 hectares of sugarcane requires 30 to 40 workers working an entire day, whereas with a drone, a team of just three people can complete the task.

    Drones also offer greater precision. Drone pilot Lucius Du Plessis said, “With 3D terrain mapping and real-time adjustments, we can spray with pinpoint accuracy, reducing pesticide waste and minimizing environmental impact.” “The Chinese drone technology is taking us toward more precise farming,” Prinsloo added.

    Since entering the South African market in 2020, XAG drones have serviced over 66,000 hectares of farmland. Today, these smart devices have spread far beyond South Africa’s sugarcane fields to a broader African landscape — soaring over rice paddies in Mozambique, wheat fields in Ethiopia, and vegetable gardens in Ghana. Chinese drones are becoming a vivid symbol of Africa’s journey toward agricultural modernization.

    INDUSTRIAL CHAIN EXTENSION

    In Kenya’s Murang’a County, macadamia orchards yielded a bountiful harvest in April. As morning mist clung to the trees, farmers stepped into fields to gather the season’s bounty. In the distance, trucks from Hongokee — the Kenyan arm of China’s Hunan Jianglai Food Co., Ltd. — rumbled toward the processing plant, laden with freshly harvested nuts.

    As a major global production area, Kenya’s macadamia nuts enjoy a strong reputation on the international market, with prices steadily rising in recent years. Yet, most local factories remain confined to basic processing such as shelling, lacking advanced capabilities like grading, flavoring and packaging. As a result, the product fetches low returns, and with frequent export policy fluctuations, both farmers and enterprises have long struggled with constrained profits.

    Recognizing the potential of Kenya’s high-quality raw materials, Jianglai invested nearly 30 million yuan (4 million U.S. dollars) in 2023 to establish a macadamia processing plant in the capital of Nairobi, equipped with advanced Chinese machinery and technology for shelling and other deep processing activities.

    Wu Huazhong, Hongokee’s purchasing manager, said the plant has commenced trial production and is expected to become fully operational in the second half of this year. Within five years, it aims to achieve an annual processing capacity of 6,000 tonnes and generate around 200 jobs.

    Strong demand from the Chinese market has directly driven the expansion of Kenya’s macadamia plantations. Jane Mburu, who grows 400 macadamia trees in Murang’a, had a bumper harvest last year. “The Chinese company offers twice the local purchase price,” she said. “Their stringent quality standards have also helped us improve planting techniques.”

    John Mwangi, a local procurement personnel at Hongokee, said, “By investing in local production, we not only meet China’s demand for premium nuts but also help local processors upgrade their equipment and technology, promoting a shift toward more advanced and value-added production.”

    In the semi-arid southwest region of Madagascar, goat farming accounts for over 80 percent of the country’s total. However, limited domestic demand and a weak industrial base have long confined local goat farming to small-scale household operations, making it difficult to achieve large-scale development and improved profitability.

    To drive industry upgrading, in September 2023, Chinese firm Sino-Malagasy Animal Husbandry (Madagascar) established the country’s first dedicated goat meat processing plant in line with Chinese standards. With a designed annual capacity of 10,000 tonnes, the plant is expected to reach full production within three years.

    During the third China-Africa Economic and Trade Expo in 2023, China and Madagascar signed an agreement on goat meat exports. In September 2024, the firm obtained export certification and successfully delivered its first shipment of 900 kg of frozen goat meat to China’s Hunan Province, marking China’s first-ever import of mutton products from Africa.

    The company has now built a complete industrial chain that spans tropical forage cultivation, livestock rearing, meat processing and exports, according to Zhang Ting, executive president of the firm.

    “This plant will advance Madagascar’s livestock sector and extend the value chain,” said Anandraka. “We will seize the opportunity presented by the Chinese market to accelerate livestock sector modernization and usher in a new chapter in China-Africa agricultural cooperation.”

  • MIL-OSI China: Nation plans further push to speed up innovation in telecom, internet sectors

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    China will further push innovation in next-generation telecommunication and digital infrastructure, such as 6G wireless technology, as part of its broader efforts to nurture new quality productive forces and build a modern industrial system, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

    Zhang Yunming, vice-minister of industry and information technology, said that more efforts are needed to prioritize comprehensive innovation, accelerate 5G-Advanced — a crucial upgrade to the 5G network in terms of functionality and coverage — and 6G technology development, and foster industrial and application advancements to empower the modernization of China’s industrial infrastructure.

    Zhang made the remarks on Saturday at a conference held in Nanchang, Jiangxi province, to celebrate the 160th anniversary of what is now known as the International Telecommunication Union.

    “China has built the world’s most advanced and largest-scale information and communication network, with 5G applications integrated into 86 out of 97 major categories of the national economy,” he said.

    The industrial internet now covers all 41 industrial categories, accelerating the deployment of artificial intelligence, low-altitude economy initiatives, and the deep integration of the real economy with the digital economy, Zhang said.

    By advancing cross-regional digital infrastructure, expanding industrial internet adoption in industrial parks and manufacturing clusters, and fostering international partnerships in standards and policy, China aims to build a resilient, intelligent and sustainable digital economy and better meet the needs of economic transformation, he added.

    Computing power

    On Saturday, China Telecom, China Mobile, China Unicom and the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology jointly initiated the construction of a trial network for the computing power internet.

    The computing power internet is the next-generation infrastructure designed to interconnect scattered computing power resources, including AI computing power and supercomputing power, said Wang Zhiqin, vice-president of the CAICT.

    This initiative seeks to enable seamless “discovery, allocation and utilization” of computing power nationwide, supporting applications ranging from AI-generated content and autonomous driving to smart factories, she said.

    The CAICT has teamed up with over 30 industry, academic and research partners to develop the computing power internet’s architecture. To date, 499 computing resource pools from 131 enterprises have been cataloged, aggregating 111.3 EFLOPS of computing power, Wang said.

    EFLOPS is a unit of the speed of computer systems. It equals 1 quintillion floating-point operations per second. China’s total computing power reached 280 EFLOPS by the end of 2024, according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

    Li Wei, deputy head of the CAICT’s cloud computing and big data research institute, said that traditionally, if companies want to use computing power, they either build the infrastructure themselves or rent the computing power via cloud subscriptions, which is expensive. But now with the computing power internet, they can easily find and use in a more efficient way computing power resources that are scattered across China.

    For instance, a Beijing-based healthcare company needed midscale AI computing power, which traditionally requires purchasing two computer servers costing over 2 million yuan ($277,400). Through the trial network, the company in Beijing utilized idle servers in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, completing the task in one day at a reduced cost of around 10,000 yuan, Li said.

    Wu Hequan, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said that every yuan invested in computing power drives 3 to 4 yuan in GDP growth.

    “In the global race for AI leadership, expanding computing power supply is critical,” Wu added.

    Press release

    Government to set new ten-year budgets for R&D funding

    New criteria to give certainty to world-class research organisations, helping to attract greater private investment and grow the UK economy.

    • New plans unveiled to support long-term, ten-year funding for certain R&D activities
    • Change will provide long-term certainty to researchers and industry, deepening opportunities for partnerships in vital R&D work that could transform UK economy
    • Introduction of guidance meets key manifesto commitment, supporting the government’s upcoming Industrial Strategy and delivering growth as part of our Plan for Change

    Vital R&D work exploring innovation in areas as diverse as human health and cutting-edge computing will be given much-needed long-term certainty under new criteria unveiled by Science Minister Lord Vallance today (Monday 19 May).

    It will enable and support government departments and other public bodies to fund R&D over a ten-year period – giving certainty to world-class research organisations that their work will continue over the long-term, helping to attract greater private investment, grow the UK economy and deliver on our Plan for Change. 

    While specific funding will be determined in the coming weeks, it could, for example, see research organisations tackling areas like antimicrobial resistance or developing quantum computers – complex issues which can take years to develop and understand – granted longer timescales to boost their chances of unearthing truly valuable solutions and improving lives.

    It could also mean longer-term funding for infrastructure, such as large-scale research facilities and equipment, giving them certainty that the tools they need to drive progress are secured.

    This will more broadly enable long-term research that tackles the key issues facing the UK, and will crowd investment into the sector from businesses attracted to the certainty of public backing.

    Evidence shows that the average £1 invested in public R&D leverages double that in private investment and generates £7 in net benefits to the UK economy in the long run – providing a major boost to the UK economy. This also delivers on a manifesto commitment and on calls from research organisations, innovators and milestone independent reports such as the Landscape Review of R&D.

    The criteria which will be used by departments and public bodies to identify and prioritise relevant ten-year funding proposals are centred around 4 areas:

    • Infrastructure and core capabilities – where ten-year funding will allow recipients to develop or maintain core national infrastructure or support more impactful use of such infrastructure, which would not be possible under shorter funding cycles.
    • Talent attraction and retention – where the skills development in a particular area is demonstrably vital to the UK growth agenda and longer-term funding would enable development of a pipeline of skilled researchers, scientists or engineers that otherwise would be difficult.
    • International collaboration – where there are demonstrable, additional opportunities for international collaborations with wider strategic benefits.
    • Partnerships and business collaboration – where there is demonstrable need for long term partnerships with industry – including charity and philanthropy – to tackle a significant challenge relevant to economic growth, and where shorter funding cycles would impede effective partnerships.

    Science Minister, Lord Vallance, said:

    Research and innovation, from computing and AI to health breakthroughs need stability of funding. 

    We are delivering on our manifesto commitment to support and encourage public bodies to deliver long-term ten-year funding streams where appropriate, while retaining the flexibility of shorter-term cycles to deal with emerging priorities.

    This change will provide certainty to certain types of research organisations and unlock vital business investment into our world-class research sector to drive the growth at the heart of our Plan for Change.

    The announcement comes ahead of the publication of the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy and will ensure the UK continues to be a world leader in growth-driving sectors delivering increased investment and secure, skilled jobs for working people across the country.

    The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has worked with the Treasury and other stakeholders to develop the principles of ten-year funding and the process by which public bodies will select specific activities or institutions for long-term funding, to provide transparency for the R&D sector. 

    The guidance recommends that public bodies should set a maximum limit for the proportion of R&D budget that, at any one time, should be allocated to ten-year funding. This will retain the agility to respond to new and emerging priorities in the short and medium term.

    Further details on the initial recipients of ten-year budgets will be set out in the second phase of the Spending Review, and in due course following the allocation of the R&D budget.  

    Departments will operate their own selection process, in line with the guidance. The guidance will allow departments to implement a targeted approach and allocate ten-year budgets to the specific programmes, activities and smaller research organisations that would best be able to unlock the economic and scientific benefits associated with long-term funding.  

    Ten-year budgets will also act as a signal of government’s long-term priorities in key sectors, helping to underpin the government’s upcoming Industrial Strategy. This is part of a wider government approach to reforming R&D funding over the longer-term, including providing stability and certainty to the R&D sector by giving clarity on the government’s R&D priorities.

  • MIL-Evening Report: Something borrowed, something blue? Why the reign of the traditional wedding dress may be over

    Source: The Conversation (Au and NZ) – By Jye Marshall, Lecturer, Fashion Design, School of Design and Architecture, Swinburne University of Technology

    Wedding Rebellion Workshop, London Ellie Cooper/unsplash

    The family and friends are all gathered, wedding bells are ringing, and the bride walks down the aisle in her beautiful bubblegum pink wedding dress.

    Twenty years ago, this would have raised some eyebrows. But not so much now, as a growing number of women opt to buck the traditional bridal gown for more unique and colourful finery.

    The origins of the white wedding dress

    The white wedding gown tradition wasn’t cemented in the West until the 19th century. Before then, brides across Europe wore all manner of hues on their wedding day, including reds, blues, yellows, and even black (often in cases where the bride was mourning a close family member).

    During the Victorian era (1837–1901), fashion trends were heavily influenced by the wealthy, and especially by the royal families. So it was Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding that truly kicked off the white wedding gown trend.

    In a bridal context, the colour white often came to be associated with “purity” – symbolism that can be traced back to ancient Rome, where white was worn by brides and by “vestal virgins” – the priestesses who served in the cult of Vesta, the goddess of the hearth.

    In the decades following Queen Victoria’s wedding, we continued to see British royal brides adorned in shades of white, and particularly ivory, cementing what a traditional wedding dress should look like.

    Breaking the mould

    That said, this tradition might now be on its way out, reflecting broader shifts in societal attitudes towards marriage.

    Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show a steady long-term decline in the percentage of people getting married – as well as an increase in the median marriage age for both men and women.

    Australia has also become increasingly multicultural. And with more multicultural marriages comes a unique blend of marriage traditions and colour palettes. For instance, in many Asian cultures, including Chinese and Vietnamese, it is customary to wear red due to its positive associations with luck, joy and happiness.

    Religious adherence also has a role to play in the overall aesthetic of modern weddings. A growing number of young Australians are identifying as non-religious, which means they’re less likely to partake in a church wedding with a puffy white tulle dress.

    Without religious protocols to follow, young couples are expressing their own youthful values at their weddings – and this often includes a more laid-back approach to dressing.

    The legalisation of same-sex marriage in 2017 has also prompted bridal stores to cater to a wider market by offering a greater variety of non-traditional colours and silhouettes.

    Meanwhile, social media and the rise of celebrity culture adds pressure to think outside the box.

    For decades, celebrities have been innovators delivering shock value on their special day. Back in 1954, Marilyn Monroe wore a dark brown suit to her second wedding with Joe DiMaggio. Some 15 years later, Audrey Hepburn got married in a pink Givenchy minidress.

    Today’s stars are following suit. In 2018, singer Mandy Moore donned a pink dress on her wedding day, while model Emily Ratijowsky chose a bright yellow Zara pantsuit.

    In Australia, designers have spent decades distancing themselves from the typical European influence to forge their own fashion identity. One such person, Akira Isogawa, helped develop the bridal landscape throughout the 1990s, by pushing the boundaries of the “traditional bride”.

    The Japanese-born designer brings his own flavour to bridal dresses by infusing them with Eastern elements such as different coloured silks, hand-embroidered motifs, unique beading and even woven fabric. He has also showcased his designs internationally, helping expand Australia’s fashion identity on a world stage.

    Impacts on the industry

    Despite the move away from traditional wedding gowns, bridal stores are expected to grow their revenue over the next few years. And the industry as a whole will likely continue to contribute to overconsumption by capitalising on the shift away from tradition.

    Many stores have changed their business model to cater for more women picking off-the-rack gowns due to financial pressures. According to one industry report, about 17% of brides in 2024 had a custom wedding dress made, compared to 75% purchasing a dress off-the rack, and 7% purchasing a second-hand dress.

    At the same time, a number of new fashion technologies are supporting the next generation of onshore manufacturing by allowing the creation of hyper-personalised dresses. In the future, it may be common for brides to co-design their off-the-rack wedding dress.

    Recycled and upcycled bridal dresses
    have been slow to gain popularity, despite growing pressure on the industry to be more sustainable.

    A broader cultural shift

    This may just be the tip of the iceberg of the non-traditional bridal movement. Australian weddings are starting to take their own shape, becoming less about formality and more about celebrating what couples value the most.

    While we won’t see every bride walking down the aisle in colours like fuchsia pink, we can expect to see more brides opt for softer pastels over shades of white.

    Ideally, the bridal industry would slow down in adopting new trends and instead focus on “localism” practices, wherein consumers are looped into the process of how their clothes are made. This would emphasise sustainability through local production and consumption, while also contributing to local fashion cultures.

  • MIL-Evening Report: AI is moving fast. Climate policy provides valuable lessons for how to keep it in check

    Artificial intelligence (AI) might not have been created to enable new forms of sexual violence such as deepfake pornography. But that has been an unfortunate byproduct of the rapidly advancing technology.

    This is just one example of AI’s many unintended uses.

    AI’s intended uses are not without their own problems, including serious copyright concerns. But beyond this, there is much experimentation happening with the rapidly advancing technology. Models and code are shared, repurposed and remixed in public online spaces.

    These collaborative, loosely networked communities — what we call “underspheres” in our recently published paper in New Media & Society — are where users experiment with AI rather than simply consume it. These spaces are where generative AI is pushed into unpredictable and experimental directions. And they show why a new approach to regulating AI and mitigating its risks is urgently needed. Climate policy offers some useful lessons.

    A limited approach

    As AI advances, so do concerns about risk. Policymakers have responded quickly. For example, the European Union AI Act which came into force in 2024 classifies systems by risk: banning “unacceptable” ones, regulating “high-risk” uses, and requiring transparency for lower-risk tools.

    Other governments — including those of the United Kingdom, United States and China — are taking similar directions. However, their regulatory approaches differ in scope, stage of development, and enforcement.

    But these efforts share a limitation: they’re built around intended use, not the messy, creative and often unintended ways AI is actually being used — especially in fringe spaces.

    So, what risks can emerge from creative deviance in AI? And can risk-based frameworks handle technologies that are fluid, remixable and fast-moving?

    Sub communities within the larger Reddit platform often experiment with unintential uses of AI.

    Experimentation outside of regulation

    There are several online spaces where members of the undersphere gather. They include GitHub (a web-based platform for collaborative software development), Hugging Face (a platform that offers ready-to-use machine learning models, datasets, and tools for developers to easily build and launch AI apps) and subreddits (individual communities or forums within the larger Reddit platform).

    These environments encourage creative experimentation with generative AI outside regulated frameworks. This experimentation can include instructing models to avoid intended behaviours – or do the opposite. It can also include creating mashups or more powerful variations of generative AI by remixing software code that is made publicly available for anyone to view, use, modify and distribute.

    The potential harms of this experimentation are highlighted by the proliferation of deepfake pornography. So too are the limits of the current approach to regulation rapidly advancing technology such as AI.

    Deepfake technology wasn’t originally developed to create non-consensual pornographic videos and images. But this is ultimately what happened within subreddit communities, beginning in 2017. Deepfake pornography then quickly spread from this undersphere into the mainstream; a recent analysis of more than 95,000 deepfake videos online found 98% of them were deep fake pornography videos.

    It was not until 2019 – years after deepfake pornography first emerged – that attempts to regulate it began to emerge globally. But these attempts were too rigid to capture the new ways deepfake technology was being used by then to cause harm. What’s more, the regulatory efforts were sporadic and inconsistent between states. This impeded efforts to protect people – and democracies – from the impacts of deepfakes globally.

    This is why we need regulation that can march in step with emerging technologies and act quickly when unintended use prevails.

    Embracing uncertainty, complexity and change

    A way to look at AI governance is through the prism of climate change. Climate change is also the result of many interconnected systems interacting in ways we can’t fully control — and its impacts can only be understood with a degree of uncertainty.

    Over the past three decades, climate governance frameworks have evolved to confront this challenge: to manage complex, emerging, and often unpredictable risks. And although this framework has yet to demonstrate its ability to meaningfully reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it has succeeded in sustaining global attention over the years on emerging climate risks and their complex impacts.

    At the same time it has provided a forum where responsibilities and potential solutions can be publicly debated.

    A similar governance framework should also be adopted to manage the spread of AI. This framework should consider the interconnected risks caused by generative AI tools linking with social media platforms. It should also consider cascading risks, as content and code are reused and adapted. And it should consider systemic risks, such as declining public trust or polarised debate.

    Importantly, this framework must also involve diverse voices. Like climate change, generative AI won’t affect just one part of society — it will ripple through many. And the challenge is how to adapt with it.

    Applied to AI, climate change governance approaches could help promote preemptive action in the wake of unforeseen use (such as in the case of deepfake porn) before the issue becomes widespread.

    Over the past three decades, climate governance frameworks have evolved to manage complex, emerging, and often unpredictable risks.

    Avoiding the pitfalls of climate governance

    While climate governance offers a useful model for adaptive, flexible regulation, it also brings important warnings that must be avoided.

    Climate politics has been mired by loopholes, competing interests and sluggish policymaking. From Australia’s shortcomings in implementing its renewable strategy, to policy reversals in Scotland and political gridlock in the United States, climate policy implementation has often been the proverbial wrench in the gears of environmental law.

    But, when it comes to AI governance, this all-too-familiar climate stalemate brings with it important lessons for the realm of AI governance.

    First, we need to find ways to align public oversight with self-regulation and transparency on the part of AI developers and suppliers.

    Second, we need to think about generative AI risks at a global scale. International cooperation and coordination are essential.

    Finally, we need to accept that AI development and experimentation will persist, and craft regulations that respond to this in order to keep our societies safe.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: How Digital Solutions Are Changing the Museum World

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: People’s Republic of China in Russian – People’s Republic of China in Russian –

    Source: People’s Republic of China – State Council News

    BEIJING, May 18 (Xinhua) — The number of visits to China’s museums last year exceeded 1.4 billion, hitting a new all-time high, according to the National Cultural Heritage Administration, demonstrating that the role of museums in Chinese people’s cultural life continues to grow day by day.

    On International Museum Day, celebrated on May 18, museums across China offer various special programs, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the charm of cultural heritage.

    The theme of this year’s event is “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities.” Driven by technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and virtual reality (VR), the world’s museums are undergoing a profound digital transformation that is not only changing the visitor experience but also reshaping the way museums operate.

    As noted in the 2024 report of the International Council of Museums /ICOM/, more than 78 percent of museums in the world have included AI technologies in their development programs, with the main scenarios for the application of such technologies being the digitalization of cultural resources and “smart” excursion systems.

    A striking example in this regard is the Shanxi Museum. There are three UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Shanxi Province /Northern China/, and the museum’s collection includes more than 650,000 items and sets of cultural relics.

    Using high-precision 3D scanning to preserve and virtually restore details of archaeological artifacts, the Shanxi Museum has created a digital archive of more than 200,000 cultural relics. This multimodal database, containing graphics, texts, images, and spectral analysis, is open to archaeological research institutions to support interdisciplinary research.

    Digital technologies such as VR and augmented reality (AR) help visitors have an immersive experience. When scanning a bronze tripod in the museum with a mobile phone, the process of casting similar items in the Jin Kingdom during the Western Zhou Dynasty (1046-771 BC) immediately appears on the display.

    At another exhibition at the museum, 500,000 people who visited the exhibition online were able to use a VR-enabled device to interact with figures on a mural dating back to the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534) and take part in a virtual archaeological excavation.

    Technological innovations have restructured the channels of dialogue between the public and cultural heritage. The conductor of this process is not only the impressions of a particular exhibition, but also the physical creative products of the cultural industry.

    More and more people in China, especially young people, want to have a valuable experience when visiting a museum, so the demand for cultural products related to the museum and its exhibits continues to grow.

    A rare fridge magnet developed by the National Museum of China (NMC) in Beijing became a best-selling item last year thanks to its exquisite craftsmanship. The miniature souvenir delicately features the phoenix crown of an empress of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), which is in the museum’s collection. In the six months since its launch in July 2024, 800,000 copies have been sold, pushing NMC’s total sales of cultural products in the second half of last year to 10 million yuan (approximately US$1.39 million).

    In addition to the usual wooden fridge magnet, the developers also created an AR version. After scanning, a virtual image of the crown appears on the top of the person’s head, as if he or she were wearing it.

    It is noteworthy that many buyers take pictures with the scarce magnet and publish the photos on social networks, which arouses the interest of other people directly to the cultural relic itself, in front of which visitors even have to stand in long lines in order to admire it.

    The magnet craze has inspired designers to create new products, including notepads, makeup mirrors, badges and even ice cream sticks, demonstrating that elements of traditional culture have found their way into modern life in innovative ways.

    According to the Beijing city authorities, the first museum season will be held in the Chinese capital from this year’s International Museum Day until October 8, and July will be dedicated to creative products of the cultural industry.

    The city then plans to hold various events, such as competitions and fairs of creative products of the cultural industry, campaigns to stimulate the consumption of such goods, etc. Such steps, according to experts, will contribute to the dissemination and development of culture.

    Technological advances are giving museums the opportunity to enhance public engagement and experience and improve operational efficiency, analysts say.

    They expressed their hope that museums would play a unique role in promoting social inclusion, stimulating cultural vitality and promoting sustainable development through technological innovation, youth participation and social interaction. -0-

  • MIL-OSI: Nimanode: Powering the First No-Code AI Agent Platform Built on XRP Ledger

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    LEEDS, United Kingdom, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nimanode, a first-of-its-kind AI automation platform has announced their project kickoff by emphasising they will be building on the XRP Ledger. As a platform designed to power a new era of autonomous AI agents on-chain, the project is already drawing strong early interest as the presale looks set to commence soon.

    Introducing Nimanode, pioneering the first zero-code builder for AI Agents on the XRP Ledger. It’s a platform that empowers users from non-coders to skilled developers to launch autonomous AI agents that execute smart contracts, access risk, automate on-chain operations, ensure compliance with global regulatory standards and interact intelligently across decentralized platforms.

    By combining artificial intelligence with the power of blockchain, Nimanode enables anyone to create, deploy, and earn from intelligent AI agents that interact directly with XRPL and beyond. It’s not just another protocol being launched as we usually see in the web3 space, it’s an effort pioneering a new category of AI & Blockchain fusion.

    Why XRP + AI?

    Nimanode’s choice to build on the XRP Ledger was no coincidence. With its proven speed, low fees, and reliability, XRPL delivers the performance layer needed to scale decentralized AI across industries.

    According to the Nimanode team:
    “We see a future where businesses, DAOs, and individuals rely on autonomous agents. XRPL offers the infrastructure to make that future scalable, cost-effective, and transparent from day one.”

    Nimanode’s architecture allows agents to execute smart contracts, optimize DeFi positions, monitor compliance, and provide 24/7 decentralized support — all governed and fueled by the $NIMA token.

    What Makes Nimanode Unique?

    At the core of Nimanode is a zero-code interface that simplifies building advanced AI agents. Users can deploy intelligent agents that serve real blockchain utility across several verticals:

    Web3 Support Agent
    Launch 24/7 AI-powered support for DAOs, NFT drops, or dApps.

    DeFi Autopilot Agent
    A self-learning agent that analyzes markets, maximizes APY, and reallocates funds for optimal yield.

    Smart Contract Generator Agent
    Converts natural language into live XRPL smart contracts; alidated and deployed autonomously.

    RWA Compliance Agent
    Ensures tokenized assets and real-world integrations remain compliant with evolving regulatory frameworks.

    Risk Assessment Agent
    Flags suspicious dApps activity or smart contract interactions in real time.

    $NMA Token Utility

    NMA has a capped supply of 200 million with a 45% allocation for its presale to early adopters. The utility of $NMA is infused into every layer of their ecosystem to ensure its longevity and use case. Included but not limited to:

    Deploying Agents – Lower deployment costs just by holding $NMA
    Agent Marketplace – Use $NMA to access discounts on purchasing AI agents
    Staking & Yield – Stake $NMA to earn passive rewards
    Governance – Voting on ecosystem proposals and upgrades

    Conclusion

    Nimanode has emerged as one of the most utility based projects in the XRP ecosystem, leading the charge into the next wave of digital evolution where the lighting speed and execution of on-chain meets off-chain edge-cutting AI automation.

    As XRP is poised for massive institutional adoption, building on the Blockchain ensure Nimanode reached its full potential. Do not miss out on any updates regarding Nimanode by ensuring you follow their various communications channels.

    BEIJING, May 18 — The total output value of China’s satellite navigation and positioning service industry reached 575.8 billion yuan (about 79.9 billion U.S. dollars) in 2024, up 7.39 percent year on year, according to a white paper published Sunday.

    This year’s white paper on the development of China’s satellite navigation and positioning service industry noted that by the end of 2024 the cumulative number of satellite navigation patent applications in China had exceeded 129,000 and approximately 288 million mobile phones in the country were equipped with positioning capabilities enabled by the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).

    In 2024, the core output value of chips, algorithms and terminal devices, directly related to China’s satellite navigation and location-based service industry, went up to 169.9 billion yuan, said Yu Xiancheng, president of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Location Based Services (LBS) Association of China (GLAC).

    The BDS has achieved high-precision lane-level navigation, covering more than 99 percent of urban and rural roads across the country. It provides over 1 trillion location services daily and supports a total daily navigation mileage of over 4 billion kilometers.

    Additionally, the BDS empowers road tests for intelligent connected vehicles and ensures the application of intelligent assisted driving in more than 50 cities nationwide.

    “The BDS not only meets domestic demands, but also enables people all over the world to enjoy high-quality public navigation services from China,” said Li Donghang, head of the GLAC Beidou-Space Time Technology Research Institute. The BDS products and services have been exported to over 140 countries and regions.

    As a core supplier of global satellite navigation systems recognized by the United Nations, the BDS has been fully integrated into the standards of 11 international organizations, including civil aviation, maritime affairs and mobile communications.

    More than 30 African countries, including Nigeria, Tunisia, Senegal, Cameroon, and Djibouti, have established BeiDou Continuously Operating Reference Stations (CORS), providing high-precision positioning services for local water conservancy, transportation, agriculture, and meteorological monitoring.

    In South America, the Chancay Port in Peru is the first smart port to apply the “5G + BeiDou high-precision positioning + AI” technology.

    GUANGZHOU, May 18 (Xinhua) — Chinese internet giant Tencent has announced plans to boost investment in artificial intelligence (AI) and further expand its overseas operations, the company said in an announcement Friday at the Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit in Guangzhou, south China’s Guangdong Province.

    Tencent’s R&D investment rose 21 percent year-on-year to 18.9 billion yuan (about $2.63 billion) in the first quarter of 2025 as the company works to upgrade its end-to-end AI ecosystem, which includes core large models, computing power, development tools and applications, said Tong Taosang, Tencent’s senior executive vice president.

    In terms of developing the computing power sector, Tencent has set up data centers in Guangzhou, Qingyuan, Shaoguan and other places in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which can provide basic computing power support for manufacturing upgrades.

    Tencent Vice President Li Qiang said that Tencent Cloud, as a globally developing cloud computing provider, has achieved double-digit growth in its international business over the past three years, serving over 10,000 overseas customers in more than 80 countries and regions.

    Tencent plans to further increase its overseas investment this year, allocating US$150 million to build its first data center in Saudi Arabia and US$500 million to build a third such center in Indonesia.

    According to the company’s financial report released in March this year, Tencent’s revenue for the full year 2024 rose 8 percent year-on-year to 660.3 billion yuan. Meanwhile, its net profit and operating profit grew 19 percent and 24 percent, respectively. AI technology played a critical role in driving Tencent’s innovation and high-quality growth throughout last year. -0-

  • MIL-OSI: Bitcoin Solaris Unveils Hybrid Consensus Architecture Ahead of Nova App Mining Launch

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    TALLINN, Estonia, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitcoin Solaris is officially unveiling its advanced hybrid consensus architecture, purpose-built to support fast, decentralized applications with user-integrated mining and sub-2-second finality. This system will serve as the backbone for the upcoming launch of the Nova App, which enables everyday users to mine BTC-S tokens using their smartphones.

    The new consensus framework reflects Bitcoin Solaris’ commitment to creating a scalable, secure, and participatory blockchain — one that aligns developer needs with real-world user access.

    Multi-Layer Consensus: Designed for Scale and Security

    Bitcoin Solaris operates on a dual-layer blockchain, each with a specific consensus mechanism optimized for its function:

    • Base Layer: Secured through a combination of Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-Capacity (PoC). PoS ensures sustainability and decentralization in validator selection, while PoC introduces verifiable randomness using committed disk space, strengthening the base chain’s cryptographic resilience.
    • Solaris Layer: Engineered for application execution and mining functionality, this layer uses Proof-of-History (PoH) and Proof-of-Time (PoT) to achieve deterministic ordering, precise time alignment, and ultra-fast block finality — exceeding 10,000 TPS with 2-second confirmations.

    This hybrid approach removes bottlenecks seen in single-mechanism blockchains, allowing Bitcoin Solaris to scale without compromising user experience or decentralization.

    Smartphone-Powered Mining via the Nova App

    As part of the broader rollout, Bitcoin Solaris will soon activate mobile-native mining via the Nova App. This novel mechanism enables users to mine BTC-S tokens by allocating idle CPU and storage on their smartphones — with no need for specialized hardware, staking, or infrastructure setup.

    Through this system, users directly contribute to network finality and block confirmation by participating in time-aligned consensus activities, earning daily BTC-S rewards while reinforcing network health.

    There are no slashing risks, bonding periods, or validator elections. The process is transparent, secure, and auditable — bringing true accessibility to blockchain participation.

    Independent Audits Completed

    Prior to deployment, Bitcoin Solaris underwent a comprehensive set of third-party audits and verifications to ensure technical reliability:

    These verifications establish a robust foundation for developers and users entering the ecosystem during this critical rollout phase.

    To better understand how Bitcoin Solaris’s hybrid approach differs from single-mechanism chains like Algorand, Crypto Nitro explores the architecture, consensus assignments, and real-world benefits of multi-layer finality in a recent technical review.

    Presale Phase 3 Now Open

    The BTC-S token follows a fixed-supply, halving-based emission model with a hard cap of 21 million tokens. There is no staking-based inflation — tokens are distributed solely through presale and user mining via the Nova App.

    Presale Phase 3 is currently live, offering BTC-S tokens at 3 USDT each. Only 4.2 million tokens (20% of total supply) are allocated for presale access. The price will rise to 4 USDT in the upcoming Phase 4. Participants in this phase gain early access before mobile mining and centralized exchange listings begin.

    With its hybrid consensus architecture and mobile-first mining experience, Bitcoin Solaris is building a network for real-world adoption. As the Nova App activation approaches, both users and developers can now secure early access to a high-performance, decentralized future.

  • MIL-OSI: Best Anti-Snoring Device 2025: AirSnore Mouthpiece & Drops Review for Sleep Apnea & Deprivation Relief

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Glasgow, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Introduction

    Consistent, uninterrupted sleep is critical to maintaining sharp focus, stable mood, and long-term health. Yet millions of adults struggle with nightly snoring or mild obstructive sleep apnea — often without realizing just how much it robs them of quality rest.

    Snoring isn’t just a minor nuisance. It’s frequently a sign of restricted airflow and poor breathing mechanics. If left unaddressed, this disruption can lead to cumulative sleep deprivation, causing grogginess, reduced cognitive performance, and even elevated risk for chronic conditions like high blood pressure.
    ✅ Top Pick: AirSnore – Best Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece for Sleep Apnea & Deprivation Relief this year.
    Most people attempt short-term fixes — nasal sprays, chin straps, or adhesive strips — but these don’t always resolve the root cause. Others try CPAP devices, which can be effective, but are expensive, bulky, and hard to adapt to.
    AirSnore takes a simpler, two-step approach that works with your body instead of against it. The mouthpiece gently repositions the lower jaw to improve airflow, while the natural oil-based drops calm the senses and ease respiratory discomfort.
    This complete review explores how AirSnore works, who it’s made for, its standout ingredients, what real users are saying, and how it compares to other top-rated anti-snoring aids in 2025.

    Snoring louder than a freight train? Try this silent fix.

When worn during sleep, it will help open your airways and reduce snoring.

    The AirSnore mouthpiece also has other features that make it a great choice for snorers. The device is made with a soft material and also has a unique ventilation system.

    How Does AirSnore Work?

    AirSnore offers a simple yet highly effective solution to snoring. AirSnore utilizes the proven combination of a mouthpiece and drops to treat and even eliminate the snoring problem. The mouthpiece works by gently pushing the lower jaw forward, which widens the gap between the tongue and palate. This in turn reduces the pressure on the throat and helps get rid of the sound caused by snoring. As an added bonus, the drops act as a decongestant, clearing your throat of mucus and other materials that might be adding to snoring. As a result, using both together can lead to peaceful and uninterrupted rest. If you’ve been suffering through sleepless nights, or if your partner is kept awake by disruptive snoring, AirSnore can offer the perfect solution. With AirSnore, the dream of restful nights can become a reality.

    How the AirSnore Mouthpiece Works?
    At the heart of AirSnore’s effectiveness is the mandibular advancement technique. By slightly moving the lower jaw forward, the airway remains more open during sleep. This position prevents vibrations in the throat that produce snoring sounds and reduces the chance of nighttime breathing interruptions.
    The mouthpiece itself is:

    • Boil-and-bite customizable, allowing users to mold it for comfort
    • Made from medical-grade, BPA-free plastic
    • Designed to be worn comfortably overnight

    Unlike rigid dental guards or obstructive CPAP gear, the AirSnore mouthpiece is minimal and easy to adapt to. It doesn’t require external power or ongoing adjustments, making it a low-maintenance, user-friendly option.
    For those experiencing light to moderate breathing blockages — especially due to relaxed jaw positioning or nasal congestion — the AirSnore mouthpiece offers mechanical relief without complications.
    Disclaimer: AirSnore is not a medical device. Individual experiences may vary, and it is meant to support, not replace, professional treatment for sleep-related conditions.
    You don’t need machines — just AirSnore. Voted the best anti snoring mouthpiece for comfort and results

    Ingredients in the Drops

    If you’re looking for a natural way to get a peaceful night’s sleep, you’ll want to check out AirSnore Drops. This all-natural sleep aid is made from a blend of powerful essential oils that can help you relax, clear your airways, and drift off into a deep and restful sleep. What makes this product truly unique is the combination of calming and anti-inflammatory plant-based ingredients that work together to create a synergistic effect. Here’s a look at the ingredients in AirSnore Drops and the ways they can help promote a good night’s sleep.

    • Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil  – Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) seed oil is an anti-inflammatory oil that can help reduce swelling in your throat and nasal passages. This can help ease the discomfort associated with snoring and facilitate more peaceful breaths while you’re sleeping. Sunflower oil is also rich in Vitamin E, which helps to nourish and protect your skin.
    • Eucalyptus globulus (Eucalyptus) leaf oil – Eucalyptus globulus (Eucalyptus) leaf oil is known for its strong anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. These help to clear your airways and reduce congestion. The invigorating aroma of eucalyptus is also known to promote feelings of calm and help you get into the right state of mind for sleep.
    • Mentha piperita (Peppermint) leaf oil – Mentha piperita (Peppermint) leaf oil is a refreshing and stimulating oil that helps to open up airways and improve your overall respiratory system. The natural properties of peppermint have a calming and soothing effect on the body that can help create an optimal environment for sleep.
    • Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) leaf oil – Pinus sylvestris (Scots pine) leaf oil has antispasmodic properties, which can relax tense muscles and ease breathing. The piney aroma of this oil is also known to be calming and promote feelings of groundedness.
    • Lavendula angustifolia (lavender) flower oil – Lavendula angustifolia (lavender) flower oil is perhaps best known for its relaxing, calming effect. The sweet, floral aroma of this essential oil can help to quiet your mind and create a sense of peacefulness that can help you drift off to sleep.

    AirSnore vs. CPAP Machines: Which Sleep Solution Is More Practical?

    When choosing a sleep aid to deal with snoring or breathing issues at night, many people consider either a CPAP machine or a simpler device like AirSnore. Both options aim to improve airflow and support restful sleep, but they do so in very different ways — and with different levels of comfort, convenience, and effort.
    CPAP machines are often prescribed for individuals with diagnosed sleep apnea. These machines deliver a constant stream of air through a face mask to keep the airway open. While this method can be highly effective for moderate to severe conditions, it comes with challenges. CPAP users often report discomfort from the mask, issues with dry throat, machine noise, and difficulty traveling with the device.
    AirSnore, on the other hand, offers a non-invasive and simpler alternative. The soft, moldable mouthpiece slightly shifts the jaw forward to naturally keep the airway open — preventing the soft tissues in the throat from causing blockages. Alongside it, the essential oil drops help reduce congestion and promote relaxation, making the solution ideal for those dealing with snoring or light sleep disruption.
    The biggest advantage of AirSnore is its ease of use. There’s no need for electricity, no noisy machinery, and no complex parts to adjust or clean nightly. It’s a compact system that fits easily into any nighttime routine — especially for those who want a lightweight, travel-friendly option.
    While CPAP may be necessary for individuals with advanced sleep disorders, AirSnore is a practical, beginner-friendly tool for anyone seeking to breathe easier and sleep more soundly without relying on medical-grade equipment.

    AirSnore vs. Other Anti-Snoring Devices

    Here’s how AirSnore stacks up against some of the leading alternatives:
    ZQuiet – Also a mouthpiece but requires active jaw movement; some users report discomfort.
    SnoreRX – Highly customizable but more complex to adjust; often more expensive.
    VitalSleep – Offers adjustment screws, but may feel bulkier than AirSnore.
    Chin straps or nasal strips – Non-invasive, but limited in effectiveness for moderate snorers.
    Why AirSnore Stands Out:

    • Combines both mechanical and aromatic support
    • No complex setup or tools
    • Drop application adds an extra layer of comfort and sinus support
    • Easier transition for first-time users

    Its holistic design makes it not just a device, but a full sleep-aid system.
    Finally, real relief from snoring — no machines, no noise, no hassle. Try AirSnore today
    AirSnore for Travel, Work, and Lifestyle
    For many people, maintaining healthy sleep habits while on the move is a constant challenge. Hotel beds, unfamiliar environments, and inconsistent routines can all increase the chances of poor rest — especially if snoring or breathing issues are already part of the problem.
    That’s where AirSnore becomes a practical companion for travelers and remote workers alike. Unlike larger machines or plug-in devices, AirSnore requires no electricity or cables. The mouthpiece fits easily into a small case, and the drops come in a compact bottle that slips into any toiletry bag.
    Whether you’re flying for business, driving long hours, or spending nights in different locations, AirSnore remains simple to pack, store, and use. There’s no need to carry batteries, chargers, or bulky equipment.
    Its portability makes it ideal for:

    • Business travelers needing sleep consistency
    • Vacationers dealing with unfamiliar hotel setups
    • Remote workers in temporary living arrangements
    • Campers or RV users without stable power access

    And because the drops are natural and non-medicated, there’s no restriction when traveling internationally. You can easily apply them before bed, even during transit, without worrying about side effects or drug interactions.
    For anyone looking to maintain restful nights on the go, AirSnore offers comfort, convenience, and flexibility — all in a travel-sized solution.
    Conclusion: AirSnore
    AirSnore is an effective product for snoring relief. It consists of two components, the AirSnore Mouthpiece and the AirSnore Drops, which work together to reduce snoring intensity and improve overall sleep quality. Furthermore, the product comes with a money-back guarantee, and the ingredients are all safe and natural. If you’re looking for an effective and affordable snoring solution, AirSnore is definitely worth a try.

    What To Look For In An Anti-Snoring Device

    People can try a variety of anti-snoring gadgets. Nose strips are simple to use because all you have to do is slap them on and go to bed. If the nasal passage is congested or obstructed, this simple remedy will work wonders. However, if snoring is caused by something else, this may not be the best remedy. 

    Mouthpieces are also used to treat snoring, albeit they are extremely painful. This over-the-counter technique involves moving the jaw to assist in widening the air gap. This opens up the airway while decreasing vibration in the throat tissues. 

    Silicone clips mix with magnets and are placed on the septum. This device also works to open the nasal passage, allowing people to breathe more easily. 

    Nasal vents or dilators are another inexpensive and effective method of reducing snoring. They are put into the nostrils to open up the airway. 

    Whatever material the snoring device is composed of, examine the package and the label for any potential warnings. Medical-grade silicone is perfect. 

    • Reusability 

    Most of the items on this list can be reused. Investing in a good anti-snoring device is beneficial for snorers and their families. All of the remedies on this list serve to open the respiratory airways, allowing people to breathe freely and, as a result, reducing snoring. With so many options, people can choose what is most comfortable for them.

    Snoring and Sleep Apnea in Women vs. Men

    Snoring is often thought of as a male-dominated issue, but that perception leaves many women misdiagnosed or untreated. In reality, both men and women experience snoring and sleep-disordered breathing, though the symptoms and patterns can differ.
    Men tend to have louder, more noticeable snoring, making their condition easier to detect. They’re also more frequently screened for sleep apnea during regular health checkups.
    Women, on the other hand, may experience:

    • Lighter or less frequent snoring
    • More noticeable daytime fatigue or mood shifts
    • Higher rates of insomnia and poor sleep quality
    • Misdiagnosis as anxiety, depression, or hormonal imbalance

    Because of these subtler symptoms, many women never realize their sleep is being interrupted by airway blockages. They may go years trying different supplements, medications, or sleep strategies without addressing the root cause.
    AirSnore provides an accessible starting point for both men and women. Its gentle mouthpiece design accommodates different jaw shapes and sizes, while the essential oil drops offer additional calming support — a feature many female users appreciate during high-stress or hormonal sleep cycles.
    Whether you’re a man waking yourself up with loud snoring, or a woman feeling exhausted without knowing why, AirSnore offers a non-invasive option to improve sleep quality. And because it doesn’t rely on diagnosis or prescriptions, it’s an approachable first step toward better nightly breathing — no matter your gender.
    AirSnore is ranked the best anti snoring device of 2025 — natural, effective, and selling out fast!
    Who Should Think About Using an Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece? 

    Snoring has no cure. However, the best snoring solutions will considerably lessen symptoms. An anti-snoring mouthpiece can help many snorers. Snoring is a persistent – if not nightly – concern for more than one-third of these sleepers. 

    It is usually caused by a restriction in the airflow through the breathing passages. This can happen for a variety of reasons. A thick or low-hanging palate narrows down the airway, increasing the likelihood of snoring. Snoring can also be caused by chronic nasal congestion and other nasal issues. Being overweight or obese can also cause excess tissue to build up around the airway. 

    Alcohol is another common cause of snoring. Drinking alcohol before going to bed relaxes the throat, causing the tongue to slip back into the throat and obstruct the airway. Being too weary or sleep-deprived may also cause the throat muscles to loosen. Furthermore, resting on the back puts people at risk of snoring since the tongue is more likely to clog the airway. 

    Chronic snoring can lead to other difficulties over time. Daytime sleepiness and exhaustion, mood swings and furious outbursts, difficulties focusing on duties, and an increased risk of getting involved in a vehicular or industrial accident are all symptoms. MAD and TRD mouthpieces can reduce snoring episodes on a nightly basis for persons with non-apnea-related snoring disorders. These devices are far less expensive than upper airway surgery and other medical procedures used to treat snoring. 

    While anti-snoring mouthpieces and mouthguards are successful for many people, they are not suitable for everyone. Some people find these gadgets irritating, even painful at times. They may also be unsuccessful in treating severe snoring caused by disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea.

    Don’t wait until snoring ruins another night — try AirSnore, the top-rated anti-snoring mouthpiece of the year

    How Do Anti-Snoring Mouthpieces Work?

    Despite its success in preventing snoring for many people, anti-snoring mouthpieces are relatively simple devices with a small number of individual elements. They function differently depending on whether the mouthpiece is a MAD or a TRD. 

    The most prevalent type of anti-snoring mouthpiece is the MAD. The top and lower trays, where the teeth are supposed to fit, are usually made of thermoplastic material. The hot water softens the thermoplastic so that users can bite into the upper and lower teeth trays to create a mold. This procedure should be followed unless other directions are given by the manufacturer.

    Try on the mouthpiece before boiling by gently biting down on the thermoplastic in the upper and lower trays. A correctly fitting device should be a few millimeters away from the lips. 

    In order for some devices to fit properly, the ends of the top and lower trays may need to be trimmed. This step will be unnecessary for others. 

    Boil water in a pot on the stove or in a microwave-safe cup (depending on what the directions say). Place the water container on a non-heated surface once the water has boiled. Make sure the container has enough water to thoroughly submerge the mouthpiece. 

    Immerse the mouthpiece in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, depending on the instructions. 

    People may need to place the mouthpiece in cold water for a few seconds at this stage, but most models will be ready for molding – however, one should let the thermoplastic cool for a time before biting into it. 

    Bite down forcefully with the upper and lower teeth after inserting the device into the mouth. The thermoplastic should be warm but not hot; if it is, allow it to cool for longer. Ensure that the tongue is pressing against the roof of the mouth—this aids in the drying of the mouthpiece. 

    If the first mold fails, repeat these instructions. The thermoplastic should soften sufficiently to permit several attempts. 

    If the mold is effective, the MAD will push forward the jaw by at least 1mm. 

    Finally: a simple fix that works. AirSnore is the best anti-snoring device for people who hate bulky solutions

    Expert Take: Why Mandibular Devices Work

    Medical experts in sleep wellness often recommend mandibular advancement devices for those unwilling or unable to use CPAP machines. These devices address airway blockages by repositioning the jaw and tongue — a simple, mechanical fix that suits many snorers.
    Additionally, topical support (like essential oils) is gaining traction in sleep therapy. Natural remedies targeting nasal passages, combined with stress-relief scents like lavender and eucalyptus, provide a gentle way to prepare the body for deeper rest.
    AirSnore brings both together in a user-friendly format.
    Final Thoughts: Is AirSnore Best Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece?
    Sleep is non-negotiable — and if snoring or poor airflow is keeping you up, AirSnore offers a well-balanced and approachable fix. Its dual-action system supports both the physical and environmental causes of disrupted sleep.
    Easy to use, comfortable, and travel-ready, it stands out from complex machinery or disposable products. For those ready to regain restful nights without costly equipment, AirSnore checks all the boxes.

    Salt Lake City, Utah, May 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Introduction: Credit Score Woes in 2025 & The Rise of Credit Repair

    In today’s economic landscape, your credit score is more than just a number—it’s a financial passport. Whether you’re applying for a home loan, refinancing your car, or qualifying for a lower interest rate, your credit profile plays a pivotal role.

    As of 2025, more consumers are becoming aware of how deeply their credit scores influence everyday opportunities. Unfortunately, even responsible individuals can find themselves facing credit damage due to errors, identity fraud, late payments, or financial hardship.

    What Is Credit Repair? How It Works & Why It Matters

    Credit repair is a process where inaccurate, outdated, or unverifiable information is identified and challenged on your credit report. These negative items can unfairly lower your score, affecting your ability to access financial services, secure housing, or even pass certain background checks.
    The three major credit bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—each maintain their own version of your report. Mistakes are surprisingly common. Some of the most frequent issues include:

    • Duplicate accounts
    • Unfounded collections
    • Incorrect payment histories
    • Accounts belonging to someone else

    The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) allows consumers to dispute such entries. However, the process can be complex and time-consuming, especially for individuals unfamiliar with how bureaus operate.
    That’s where professional credit repair companies like The Credit People come in. They handle the process from start to finish—reviewing reports, drafting disputes, following up with credit agencies, and helping ensure that only accurate and fair data remains on your report.
    Beyond dispute handling, credit repair also includes guidance on improving credit behavior, monitoring changes, and protecting your identity from future damage. In a world where credit impacts nearly every financial move, the value of an expert-led credit strategy has never been more essential.

    How The Credit People Help Fix Your Credit – Step-by-Step Process

    The process of fixing credit with The Credit People is structured yet simple—designed for efficiency and transparency. Here’s how it unfolds:

    Step 1: Credit Report Access

    Once enrolled, The Credit People pulls your reports from all three major bureaus. They offer a free initial consultation and provide clients with full access to their credit profile via a secure online dashboard.

    Step 2: Analysis of Negative Items

    Their credit team carefully reviews all reports to identify any harmful, incorrect, or questionable items. These can include late payments, charge-offs, repossessions, medical bills, or accounts not belonging to the client.

    Step 3: Dispute Strategy

    For each problematic item, they draft customized dispute letters tailored to the legal guidelines of the FCRA. These letters are sent directly to the reporting bureaus and creditors, initiating the correction process.

    Step 4: Follow-Up and Escalation

    Each dispute is tracked, and follow-ups are made within the legal response window (typically 30–45 days). If a bureau or creditor fails to respond properly or leaves an error uncorrected, additional steps are taken.

    Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring

    Clients can log into their dashboard anytime to check score changes, see dispute status updates, and review new credit activity. The dashboard also includes helpful insights and credit education tailored to each user’s financial goals.
    This step-by-step process relieves clients from the confusion and frustration of managing disputes independently. And by focusing on both immediate fixes and long-term score growth, The Credit People help deliver more sustainable financial confidence.

    The Credit People vs. Other Credit Repair Services (Comparison)

    With several companies offering credit repair today, how does The Credit People stack up against popular competitors?

    The Credit People vs. Lexington Law

    Lexington Law uses a legal-based model with attorneys involved in dispute processing. While this can appeal to those facing complex issues, it often comes with higher monthly costs. The Credit People, on the other hand, uses a practical credit specialist approach—more affordable and equally effective for most standard cases.

    The Credit People vs. CreditRepair.com

    CreditRepair.com is known for a slick interface and heavy marketing, but users sometimes report slower communication and limited updates. The Credit People focuses more on results and clarity, with real-time progress tracking and fewer upsells.

    The Credit People vs. Sky Blue Credit

    Sky Blue is another flat-rate option, but it limits disputes to a fixed number per cycle. The Credit People offers unlimited disputes, making it better for users with multiple report errors or collections to address.

    The Credit People vs. The Credit Pros

    The Credit Pros emphasize mobile tools and AI-driven dashboards. While tech-savvy, they come at a higher cost. The Credit People provides similar outcomes with a more budget-conscious structure, ideal for users focused on value and transparency.
    With competitive pricing, unlimited disputes, and a track record of customer satisfaction, The Credit People holds its own—and often outperforms—in this crowded space.

    The company initiates the dispute process promptly after enrollment, targeting inaccuracies across all three major credit bureaus. While some clients experience score increases in the first few months, others may require a longer duration to achieve significant results. It’s important to understand that credit repair is not an overnight fix; consistent effort and adherence to recommended financial practices are key to long-term success.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Civil service volunteers visit elderly activity centre (with photos)

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

         The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) Volunteer Team and the Digital Policy Office Volunteer Team today (May 17) visited an elderly activity centre in To Kwa Wan, and assisted the elderly to learn how to use smartphones and mobile applications. They also had fun from gerontechnology through interactive activities and integration of technology into daily lives.

         The Secretary for the Civil Service, Mrs Ingrid Yeung; the Permanent Secretary for the Civil Service, Mr Clement Leung; and the Commissioner for Digital Policy, Mr Tony Wong, joined the civil service volunteers to participate in volunteer service under the “Smart Silver” Digital Inclusion Programme for Elders at the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Lok Man Alice Kwok Integrated Service Centre. With the help of the volunteers, the elderly learned how to use the “iAM Smart” mobile app to access useful information such as weather conditions, the use of Scameter, and the waiting time at accident and emergency departments, etc.

         Apart from answering their questions on the use of smartphones, the civil service volunteers also let the elderly experience the benefits of digital technology through various games, including doing physical exercises by making use of an AI application developed by the centre for people with knee problems in the community, which allows users to adjust the exercise intensity and movement according to their own physical conditions. In addition, the elderly also participated in games for sensory integration training and cognitive training to help enhance their responsive abilities.

         At present, more than 70 civil service volunteer teams have been set up across different government bureaux and departments, providing more diversified types and forms of services ranging from life planning and mentoring services for youth, interest classes, first aid seminars, residential care home visits and home visits to cleaning and maintenance services. In 2024, the volunteer teams organised or participated in around 2 040 volunteer activities, while the attendance of participating volunteers and hours of volunteer service were about 23 500 and over 111 700 respectively, representing an increase of more than 400 volunteer activities and 22 400 hours of service, or 25 per cent for both figures when compared to those of 2023.

    Mrs Yeung encouraged civil servants to make use of their knowledge and skills, as well as their rich life experience, to contribute to the community in their spare time, and to demonstrate the civil servants’ care for the society and dedication to serving the community. 

    A fresh round of the Civil Service Volunteer Commendation Scheme has commenced to commend departmental volunteer teams and individual volunteers with high accumulated service hours, as well as individual volunteers who demonstrated outstanding leadership in organising volunteer services. In addition, among the numerous volunteer services or activities organised by departmental volunteer teams, the CSB will select volunteer service projects that are the most distinctive and best showcase civil servants’ active collaboration with the community, as well as their effective use of innovative technologies and their own expertise for awarding the Meritorious Volunteer Service Award. The list of award winners is expected to be announced in the third quarter of this year.

  • MIL-OSI Asia-Pac: Speech by FS at Family Education and Legacy Forum 2025 (English only)

    Source: Hong Kong Government special administrative region

    Following is the speech by the Financial Secretary, Mr Paul Chan, at Family Education and Legacy Forum 2025 today (May 17):

    Yanice (Chair of the Family Education and Legacy Forum 2025, Ms Yanice Mak), Enoch (Vice President of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization Hong Kong Association, Professor Enoch Young), Joseph (the Under Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Joseph Chan), distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
     
    Good afternoon. It is a great pleasure to join you all at the Family Education and Legacy Forum 2025.
     
    Today, we bring together family business leaders, academics and thought leaders to explore a topic that is both timely and timeless: sustainable family wealth succession. It is a subject that goes well beyond financial continuity. It encompasses values, responsibility and intergenerational purpose.
     
    Let me begin by extending a very warm welcome to Dr Josh Baron from Harvard Business School. Your presence here adds intellectual strength to the dialogue. And if I may take the opportunity of this occasion, held at a time when the world is facing protectionism and unilateralism unseen for decades, to highlight a few Chinese values that I believe are highly relevant when navigating the uncertainties of our time, that is our emphasis on harmony, consensus building, shared progress and common prosperity.
     
    Coming back to the Forum today. The lineup of speakers is indeed impressive. I am sure their insights will be enlightening and inspiring, providing useful advice for family businesses and their owners in a world that is undergoing rapid transformation.
     
    Allow me to share a few personal reflections as morsel to your ensuing discussions. As some of you may know, before entering public service in 2012, I worked in the private sector and had the privilege of attending Harvard Business School’s Owner/President Management Programme. These reflections come from my years of knowledge of and experience in both the public and private sectors.
     
    The first point is about financial sustainability.
     
    Family businesses often start with great success by their founders. Yet it is indeed not uncommon for second or third-generation owners to have vastly different ideas or aspirations than those of their parents. While pursuing one’s dreams and being open to new opportunities, one must manage their risk exposure, in particular liquidity and leverage level.
     
    The second point is about recognising the mega trends and the associated opportunities and risks. In my view, a few forces will define the coming decade. 
     
    First, geopolitics. We must recognise that strategic competition among major powers will likely persist. The days of seamless globalisation are giving way to geo-economic fragmentation, marked by tariffs, technology barriers and polarisation of international politics. 
     
    Going forward, three regional blocs may emerge: first, the Asia-Pacific; second, India, the Middle East and Europe; and third, the Americas. Within a region, there will be more collaboration and partnership; but between regions, competition will be more intense.  For family business owners, this means recalibrating strategies, managing risks across jurisdictions, and identifying new regional opportunities.
     
    Second, artificial intelligence (AI). AI is already transforming the way we work and do business. The “AI+ era” is unstoppable. AI is deeply integrated across sectors, from manufacturing, logistics and city management to hospitality, games and household appliances. 
     
    To embrace it is not only about resources and investments, but more importantly, a shift in mindset. 
     
    Third, green transformation. Around the world – with only a few exceptions – green is high on the agenda of consumers, investors and governments.
     
    Family businesses will need to respond to higher demands on sustainability. But more than that, I believe family capital can and should play a catalytic role in this transformation, by scaling up green solutions and supporting systemic change.
     
    The third point is about creating a legacy. Knowing many family business leaders in person, I understand you do care about the collective good of our community and the world. But my point is not exactly philanthropy, but the well-being of the people, which must be embedded as a core value of businesses.
     
    Consider the stories of the Six Little Dragons of Hangzhou like DeepSeek and Unitree Robotics. While people often focus on their technological prowess, I believe the success of these companies is also driven by the aspiration, deep in their hearts, that innovation should be affordable, accessible and inclusive. 
     
    There are similar examples here in Hong Kong. For instance, a surgical robot company born out of the Chinese University of Hong Kong is producing affordable surgical robots for broad applications in Hong Kong, the Mainland and beyond, benefiting thousands of patients with limited means. On the other hand, several fintech firms are exporting innovative financial solutions to Southeast Asia, making credit and financial services more accessible to underserved communities. The founders of these companies, whom I know personally, share the same vision of inclusiveness. 
     
    These examples remind us that legacy is not only about what we build, but also who we build it for.
     
    Ladies and gentlemen, I cannot better conclude by making one final point: the most valuable inheritance we can pass on is not wealth, but wisdom. Let us not forget the importance of providing the best education for our next generation, an education that nurtures compassion, resilience, cross-cultural understanding and a strong sense of global citizenship. One that equips our children not only with knowledge, but with the moral compass and courage to face uncertainty, uphold values and lead with purpose.
     
    My sincere thanks to the UNESCO Hong Kong Association and the Harvard Business School Association of Hong Kong for convening this meaningful exchange. I look with anticipation to the wisdom and impactful initiatives that will emerge from today’s dialogue. I wish you all the best of health and business in the time ahead. Thank you very much.

  • MIL-OSI Global: AI-driven motion capture is transforming sports and exercise science

    Source: The Conversation – Africa – By Habib Noorbhai, Professor (Health & Sports Science), University of Johannesburg

    In sport, the margin between success and failure is often measured in milliseconds. It could be a cricketer adjusting their foot positioning, a runner refining their sprint start or a footballer perfecting their passing.

    This is where motion capture comes in – among the many approaches being used for athletic performance and movement analysis.

    Conventional motion capture tracks a person’s movements by using sensors or reflective markers linked to cameras. This provides data that helps sport scientists analyse how to improve an athlete’s performance, personalise their training programme and prevent possible injury.

    But for decades, motion capture in sport has been done using cumbersome suits and complex camera systems. These technologies offer high precision, but have remained out of reach for many because of their cost, technical demands and rigid laboratory constraints.

    As sport evolves, so too must the technology that analyses it. The way we measure human movement is experiencing a major transformation. Markerless motion capture (enabled by artificial intelligence, computer vision, depth sensors and multiple-camera systems) is set to revolutionise sports performance analysis.

    As a health and sports scientist with a focus on data, innovation and technology, I co-authored a study on markerless motion capture in sports and exercise. We reviewed and compared various motion capture options so that users can choose what system is best for their needs and budgets.

    This matters because markerless motion capture provides a practical alternative that’s accessible, scalable and adaptable to real-world settings. It’s a shift that promises to transform how athletes train, how they move, how injuries are assessed and how coaches refine performance.

    The problem with traditional motion capture

    Marker-based motion capture has long been considered the gold standard for analysing movement. Various systems use optoelectronic (devices that emit or detect light) tracking. They’ve provided researchers and coaches with precise three-dimensional (3D) data on joint angles, movement efficiency and biomechanical load. But these systems come with challenges.

    Firstly, the need for reflective markers placed on the body introduces variability. Even slight misplacements can compromise data accuracy.

    Secondly, these systems are largely confined to laboratory environments. While they work well for controlled studies, they can’t always capture the dynamics of real-world sports performance.

    Thirdly, the cost of such setups, often reaching tens of thousands of dollars, limits their use to elite teams and well-funded research labs. This financial barrier places the technology out of reach for grassroots sport, where talent development is crucial.

    The rise of markerless motion capture

    Markerless motion capture, driven by deep learning and computer vision, allows movement to be tracked directly from video footage, without requiring physical markers. Models such as OpenPose, TensorFlow Pose Estimate and MeTRAbs can now identify and analyse human joint positions in 3D, all from a single video feed.

    This approach has profound implications. It means that coaches can capture real-time movement data from training sessions without interrupting the natural flow of play. Athletes can analyse their technique with nothing more than a smartphone camera. It opens the door for motion capture to move beyond the lab and onto the field, the court or the gym floor.

    Where markerless motion capture works best

    The ability to track movement in real-world environments makes markerless motion capture particularly valuable in high-speed and dynamic sports.

    In football, tracking player movement during passing drills can inform tactical decisions. In sprinting, coaches can analyse stride length and ground contact time without disrupting training sessions. In baseball and cricket, batting mechanics can be assessed without requiring players to wear cumbersome tracking suits or markers.

    Beyond performance analysis, the implications for injury management and rehabilitation are just as compelling.

    By integrating markerless motion capture into injury rehabilitation programmes, physiotherapists can monitor movement deficiencies in real time. A player recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury, for example, can have their gait and knee valgus angles monitored remotely. This reduces the need for repeated clinic visits.

    Barriers

    Despite its potential, markerless motion capture is not without its challenges. While deep learning models are improving, they still struggle with occlusion: where body parts become temporarily hidden from view. Variations in lighting, camera angles and player body types can affect tracking accuracy too.

    To improve robustness across diverse sports settings, these issues need ongoing refinement in pose estimation algorithms. (These are computer vision techniques used to locate and track key points of the body on a person in a video.)

    Supershoes have transformed competitive distance running, but they remain controversial


    Another key limitation is validation. Traditional motion capture systems have been extensively tested for accuracy, but markerless models are still undergoing further validation in sport-specific contexts.

    Ensuring consistency and reliability will be crucial in convincing elite teams to transition away from marker-based setups.

    A future without markers?

    The question remains: will markerless motion capture completely disrupt and replace traditional systems? The reality is likely to be more nuanced.

    While marker-based motion capture will retain its place in highly controlled research settings, markerless alternatives will dominate practical, field-based applications. The accessibility, ease of use and real-time capabilities of markerless systems make them a game-changer.

    As AI models become more sophisticated and sensor technology advances, the precision of markerless systems will continue to improve. The future of motion capture lies not in replacing one method with another, but in integrating multiple approaches to create a seamless, scalable and accurate framework for movement analysis.

    It’s no longer a question of whether markerless motion capture will take over, but when. And as the technology matures, the benefits for coaches, athletes and scientists alike will only continue to grow. It’s set to play an integral role in shaping the next generation of athletic performance and movement analysis.

    China sees increase in news conferences and release system

    chinadaily.com.cn | May 18, 2025

    China has seen an increase in the number and frequency of news conferences at various levels, supported by a well-structured news release system spanning from central to local governments and enhanced professionalism among spokespersons, scholars and officials said on Saturday.

    More than 100 spokespersons from local and state governments and state-owned enterprises under the central government and scholars gathered in Beijing for the 4th China Spokesperson Forum at Renmin University of China, focusing on improving the spokesperson system and enhancing the effectiveness of news releases.

    Mo Gaoyi, director of the State Council Information Office, said in the era of mobile internet and smart interconnection, the media landscape has met profound changes.

    It is necessary to conduct in-depth research on social concerns and public opinion trends and identify the connecting points with the interests of people to better meet societal expectations, he said.

    Guo Jiakun, spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry, stated that in 2024, the ministry held a total of 230 news conferences, with spokespersons answering over 2,500 questions from both Chinese and foreign reporters, which made it the only foreign affairs department in the world to hold a news conference every working day.

    As of Wednesday, major international media coverage of the ministry’s regular press conferences has surged by 69.6 percent this year, reaching over 25,000 articles, Guo added.

    Zhou Qing’an, dean of the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, said the news release system in China has gradually matured, and the professionalism of the spokesperson team has continued to improve.

    He highlighted the system’s adaptability to the all-media communication landscape, particularly in embracing proactive initiatives in new areas like social media and artificial intelligence.

    For each watch, probabilities for particular events inside the watch (listed above in each table) are determined by the issuing forecaster. The “Low” category contains probability values ranging from less than 2% to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities), “Moderate” from 30% to 60%, and “High” from 70% to greater than 95%. High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of an increased threat for a particular event.
