努蘭的丈夫在貝佐斯決定後辭去華盛頓郵報職位

(SeaPRwire) - 華盛頓郵報總編輯羅伯特·卡根對報紙拒絕支持卡瑪拉·哈里斯競選美國總統感到憤怒 華盛頓郵報總編輯羅伯特·卡根已辭職以示抗議,此前由亞馬遜大亨傑夫·貝佐斯擁有的報紙決定自1988年以來首次放棄總統候選人背書。 卡根是維多利亞·努蘭德的丈夫,維多利亞·努蘭德是前國務院高級官員,直接參與了2014年美國支持的烏克蘭政變。卡根自稱新保守主義者,他從2008年共和黨總統候選人約翰·麥凱恩的外交政策顧問轉變成2016年加入民主黨並支持希拉里·克林頓。 週五,他向美國國家公共廣播電台和福克斯新聞確認,他辭去郵報職務是因為報紙拒絕支持副總統卡瑪拉·哈里斯,她是民主黨的總統候選人,她在與共和黨候選人和前總統唐納德·特朗普的競爭中。 據美國國家公共廣播電台報導,哈里斯背書的文本本月早些時候已經起草,但報紙管理層在貝佐斯審閱後放棄了背書。貝佐斯自2013年以來一直擁有郵報。美國國家公共廣播電台表示,編輯委員會對此感到“震驚”,並且普遍持負面意見。 雖然卡根是目前唯一辭職的人,但郵報因貝佐斯的決定而受到猛烈批評。前總統巴拉克·奧巴馬的高級顧問蘇珊·賴斯將此舉形容為“一家本應讓當權者負責的出版物所做出的最虛偽、最膽小鬼的行為。” “這是怯懦,一個黑暗的時刻,會讓民主成為犧牲品。”郵報在特朗普任期期間的執行編輯馬蒂·巴倫在給美國國家公共廣播電台的一份聲明中表示,他稱不背書哈里斯是“一家以勇氣聞名的機構的令人不安的膽怯章節。” 在巴倫的領導下,郵報因關於“通俄門”陰謀論和將2021年選舉相關的美國國會大廈暴亂歸咎於特朗普的報導而獲得了多個普利策獎。 卡根認為特朗普將會成為一個危險的獨裁者,並且建議現任總統喬·拜登尊重、愛戴並從華盛頓建制派“大人物”那裡學習。他也因與他人合著1996年的宣言《走向新裡根主義外交政策》而聞名,該宣言主張美國應成為“仁慈的全球霸主。”他的合著者,同樣是新保守主義者的比爾·克里斯托爾也於2016年加入民主黨,並成為特朗普的公開批評者。 郵報的這一舉措是在《洛杉磯時報》宣佈不會背書哈里斯之後幾天發生的,此前該報紙連續16年支持民主黨。《洛杉磯時報》社論主管瑪麗爾·加爾薩因抗議這一決定而辭職,她表示,這一決定讓該報紙“顯得卑鄙和虛偽,甚至有點性別歧視和種族歧視。”她花了八年的時間“反對”特朗普。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

桑德斯給賀錦麗競選提供建議 News

桑德斯給賀錦麗競選提供建議

(SeaPRwire) - 美國進步派參議員堅持,民主黨候選人應更多關注勞工階級,而非保守派共和黨人 據美聯社週五報導,包括佛蒙特州參議員伯尼·桑德斯在內的進步派民主黨人一直在呼籲美國總統候選人卡瑪拉·哈里斯對其競選的收尾訊息進行調整,將重點從共和黨競爭對手唐納·川普身上轉移,轉而關注美國勞工階級的經濟困境。 據該媒體報導,進步派領袖一直擔心哈里斯的訊息越來越集中在川普身上,以及他對美國民主構成的所謂威脅,企圖爭取溫和派共和黨人的支持,卻忽略了美國勞工階級的經濟困境。據報導,一些人還對民主黨候選人的競選活動沒有讓像桑德斯或紐約眾議員亞歷山德里亞·奧卡西奧-科爾特斯這樣的進步派人士在更引人注目的位置上感到沮喪。 “事實是,比保守派共和黨人更有可能投票給卡瑪拉·哈里斯的勞工階級選民多得多,”桑德斯週四告訴美聯社。 這位進步派美國參議員聲稱,他一直在做所有被要求做的事來幫助哈里斯獲勝。桑德斯說,僅在本月,他就參加了 24 場與競選相關的活動,大多數都在農村地區,但沒有哈里斯本人。 “她必須開始更多地關注勞工階級的需求,”桑德斯指出。“我希望這在兩個月前就發生了。現在已經是這樣了。” 該報導指出,儘管川普的盟友一直在指責這位前加州參議員是“極左自由派”,但哈里斯一直不願與像桑德斯這樣的進步派人士一起露面。 相反,她與麗茲·切尼一同競選,麗茲·切尼是一位著名的新保守派人士,川普稱她是“愚蠢的戰爭鷹派”,想要“與所有已知的人類穆斯林國家開戰。” 同時,進步派組織“我們的革命”的執行董事約瑟夫·吉瓦格斯暗示,多達 10% 的進步派人士可能不會投票給哈里斯,因為他們感到沮喪。正如美聯社所引述的那樣,有些人可能根本不投票,而有些人甚至可能支持川普。 哈里斯預計將在白宮外發表一場重要演講,這個地方是川普在 2021 年 1 月 6 日美國國會騷亂前不久發表演講的地方。據熟悉她策略的人士告訴 NBC,在對選民的最後呼籲中,民主黨總統候選人預計將更加集中精力說服選民,她代表著國家的未來,並將捍衛他們日常的自由。 他們表示,哈里斯還將繼續抨擊川普,強調他“越來越失去理智和不穩定”,以及他對“不受約束的權力”的渴望是危險的。 同時,這位前總統預計將於週日在紐約麥迪遜廣場花園發表他正式的收尾訊息。據報導,他預計將集中精力談論美國普通民眾對國家發展方向的不滿。共和黨候選人的競選活動集中在經濟和通貨膨脹、移民、犯罪和外交政策。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

скан的納維亞國家將提高兒童使用社交媒體的年齡 News

скан的納維亞國家將提高兒童使用社交媒體的年齡

(SeaPRwire) - 挪威首相約納斯·加爾·斯托爾表示,挪威正尋求保護 15 歲以下的未成年人免受「有害內容」的影響。 挪威宣布計畫將社交媒體使用年齡限制從 13 歲提高至 15 歲,並實施更嚴格的控制措施,以解決對網路活動對年輕使用者影響的擔憂。 這個斯堪的納維亞國家加強了對科技巨頭的抗議,挪威首相約納斯·加爾·斯托爾表示,這些科技巨頭「與小孩子的腦袋作對」。新規定將禁止 Netflix 和其他串流訂閱等科技公司從 15 歲以下的未成年人收集個人資料。 斯托爾解釋說,這項措施旨在保護兒童免受「演算法的力量」的影響。 挪威目前的社交媒體使用最低年齡限制為 13 歲,但根據該國媒體當局的說法,儘管有此限制,但超過一半的 9 歲兒童使用社交媒體。 「這發出了一個非常強烈的訊號。必須保護兒童免受社交媒體上的有害內容的影響。」斯托爾週三對當地新聞媒體 VG 表示。 「我們知道這是一場艱苦的戰鬥,因為這裡有強大的力量,但這也是政治需要的領域。」 該倡議包括修訂《個人資料法》並為社交媒體平台實施年齡驗證系統,旨在保護兒童免受有害的線上內容的影響。 雖然承認社交媒體可以為孤獨的孩子提供社群感,但首相表示它也「被產業濫用」,並警告演算法對自我表達的支配。 「這可能會導致孩子變得心胸狹隘且安分守己,因為一切都在螢幕上快速發生。」斯托爾說。 家庭部長基耶斯蒂·托佩補充說,這項措施旨在支持父母。 「父母不能單獨面對科技巨頭。這就是為什麼我們正在考慮更嚴格的立法。」她說,並補充說,這是關於「讓父母有信心說不。許多父母想要說不,但卻沒有能力。」 此舉是在法國、美國和澳洲等幾個國家也正在引入法規,以減少螢幕成癮並保護未成年人免於接觸不當內容的情況下發生的。 今年早些時候,法國的 200 所學校開始試驗「數位休息」,阻止 15 歲以下的學生在課堂上使用智慧型手機。 在俄羅斯,類似的限制措施於 9 月生效,禁止學生在學校使用手機,除非涉及健康或生命安全的緊急情況。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈,覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者,以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

Title showdown beckons for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing JCN Newswire

Title showdown beckons for TOYOTA GAZOO Racing

TOKYO, Oct 25, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is ready for an FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) title showdown when a rollercoaster 2024 season reaches its climax in the 8 Hours of Bahrain on Saturday 2 November.The team heads into the season’s eighth and final race with a mission to retain its manufacturers’ World Championship against strong competition from Ferrari and Porsche. In the seven races so far, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has earned two victories, and a win in Bahrain will guarantee the title for the sixth successive season.Kamui Kobayashi and Nyck de Vries retain a slim chance of the drivers’ title but to do so, they must win the race, alongside #7 GR010 HYBRID team-mate Mike Conway, and hope the #6 Porsche crew fail to score points. Last year’s Bahrain winners, and outgoing drivers’ World Champions, Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa will fight for their second win of the season in their #8 GR010 HYBRID in Saturday’s race, which begins in daylight and ends after sunset.TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has a formidable record at the Bahrain International Circuit, having won the last seven WEC races there, including six consecutive one-two finishes. In total it has won nine of its 12 races in the island kingdom, earning six pole positions and five front-row lock-outs.The challenge is tougher than ever this year against an 18-strong Hypercar field including title rivals Ferrari and Porsche, who are both are in the fight for the drivers’ and manufacturers’ crowns. Alpine, BMW, Cadillac and Peugeot showed speed at Fuji Speedway and are expected to join an exciting battle for honours.The 5.412km Bahrain International Circuit is the traditional venue for WEC’s season finale, having hosted the last race in eight of the 11 seasons since WEC’s return in 2012. Its 15-turn lay-out features a mix of high-speed and slower corners and is renowned for being abrasive with high grip levels, creating a particular challenge in terms of tyre management.Practice for the Saturday race begins on Thursday with two 90-minute sessions, one in daylight and the other under lights, and concludes on Friday. The grid will be decided during the qualifying and Hyperpole sessions, starting at 4.40pm local time (2.40pm CET) on Friday, while the 8 Hours of Bahrain starts at 2pm (midday CET) on Saturday.The track action continues on Sunday with the traditional rookie test, when Esteban Masson will drive a GR010 HYBRID for the first time as part of the team’s commitment to giving opportunities to young, upcoming drivers. The 20-year-old Frenchman has impressed this season driving the #87 Lexus RC F LMGT3 entered by the AKKODIS ASP Team in WEC’s LMGT3 category. If TOYOTA GAZOO Racing wins the manufacturers’ title, 21-year-old European Le Mans Series racer Reshad de Gerus will also test a GR010 HYBRID as the WEC-nominated rookie.Kamui Kobayashi (Team Principal and driver, car #7):“It’s the end of an exciting and challenging season. As a team we have enjoyed some great moments as well also some difficult ones, like the last race at Fuji Speedway. The competition has been incredibly tough all season but thanks to the big effort from everyone, we go into the last race with the destiny of the manufacturers’ World Championship still in our control. We know that a win will give us the title so that is our target, and everyone will give their maximum to achieve it. We need a perfect weekend and we’re ready for the challenge.”Mike Conway (Driver, car #7):“I enjoy racing in Bahrain. It’s a fun track to drive and a place which has given me some great memories; I won my first race with Toyota back in 2014 as well as my two drivers’ titles there. As a team we also have a successful record in Bahrain and we want to keep that going this year, even though we expect another close fight because Porsche and Ferrari will be strong again. We’ll have to be at the top of our game, but we’ve prepared well and we’re looking forward to it.”Nyck de Vries (Driver, car #7):“It’s the final race of my first season as a TOYOTA GAZOO Racing race driver and we still have the manufacturers’ World Championship to fight for so I can’t wait for Bahrain. I know the track well from other series and I tested a TS050 HYBRID there all the way back in 2019 during the rookie test, which kind of started my story with the team. So, it’s nice to be going back there as a Toyota race driver. Fuji was tough for us, but it was another strong team effort and we’re ready to go again.”Sébastien Buemi (Driver, car #8):“I always enjoy going to Bahrain. It’s a great circuit, with nice facilities and good weather, plus some of my family live there so it almost feels like a home race. The circuit is fun, particularly the high-speed section from turn five, because it’s fast and flowing before the hairpin, where there’s a chance to overtake. It’s an unusual race because it runs into the night, so the temperature changes quite a bit. That makes it more challenging to find the right set-up so we will work closely on that in practice.”Brendon Hartley (Driver, car #8):“Bahrain is the last race of an exciting season, and we go there fighting for the manufacturers’ World Championship, which is one of the team’s big targets every year. Historically we have gone well in Bahrain and the circuit always seemed to suit our car, so hopefully that’s a positive sign for the coming week. It’s a longer race than normal so it’s more important than ever to execute a clean race and get our strategies right. I know the whole team has worked hard to prepare and we can’t wait to get started.”Ryo Hirakawa (Driver, car #8):“Our aim in Bahrain is to win the race and therefore the World Championship but it will not be easy. Our competitors were strong at Fuji, and we expect another challenging race, but we are fighting as hard as possible, and we will not give up. We have to be fully concentrated all weekend to get the maximum performance from our car. If we do that, we have a chance, so we will keep pushing to end the season on a high and give our all supporters and partners a result to cheer.”About Toyota Toyota strives to be a strong corporate citizen, engaging with and earning the trust of its stakeholders, and to contribute to the creation of a prosperous society through all its business operations.Our corporate principles form the basis of our initiatives, reflect values that enable action, and drive our mindset.For the latest Toyota-related news and information:https://tinyurl.com/ToyotaPressReleasenewsroom@global.toyota Copyright 2024 JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Joint proposal by NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile adopted as Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications/NICT’s “Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G” for social implementation and overseas expansion oriented strategic program (common infrastructure technology establishment) JCN Newswire

Joint proposal by NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile adopted as Japan’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications/NICT’s “Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G” for social implementation and overseas expansion oriented strategic program (common infrastructure technology establishment)

TOKYO, Oct 25, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - NTT Corporation, KDDI Corporation, KDDI Research, Inc. participating in research and development as a research collaborator, Fujitsu Limited, NEC Corporation, and Rakuten Mobile, Inc. were selected by the Japan-based National Institute of Information and Communications Technology to conduct newly commissioned research in FY 2024 pertaining to a strategic program oriented toward social implementation and overseas expansion (common infrastructure technology establishment) for the Innovative ICT Fund Projects for Beyond 5G/6G.Through this research and development, the above parties will develop a technology that enables users to simultaneously use multiple cloud data centers and to switch connection destinations flexibly, in addition to ensuring fault tolerance and service quality assurance through cooperation among All-Photonics Networks (hereinafter "APN") of multiple providers. We will also develop a small APN node that will enable APN deployment at rural data centers and small and medium-sized sites.In the Beyond 5G/6G era, society's informatization will accelerate further, and enormous information processing will be required. The need for APNs is growing as demand is expected to increase for the further expansion of transmission capacity and higher processing speed for existing information and communications systems, as well as for technologies that provide the lower power consumption required for carbon neutrality. Under such circumstances, discussions on providing APNs widely to society were held by Japan’s Technology Strategy Committee of the Information and Communications Technology Subcommittee of the Information and Communications Council and the All-Optical Network Common Infrastructure Technology Working Group established under this committee. As a result, the idea that it is necessary to connect multiple sites simultaneously and to have functions to collaborate among providers was expressed in the reports "Information and Communications Technology Strategy Toward Beyond 5G" (June 2024)1 and "Development Direction and Dissemination Measures for All-Photonics Network Common Infrastructure Technology" (May 2024)2. In order to develop this technology, NICT has solicited proposals for the Beyond 5G (6G) Fund Project, to which NTT, KDDI, Fujitsu, NEC, and Rakuten Mobile jointly submitted proposals.On October 22, 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and NICT announced the results of their selection for the "Beyond 5G (6G) Fund Project" as a social implementation and overseas expansion oriented strategic program (common infrastructure technology establishment), and the above five companies were selected to implement the program.This research and development will enable APNs from multiple providers to cooperate to ensure fault tolerance and service quality assurance, as well as enable users to simultaneously use multiple cloud data centers and switch connection destinations flexibly. The above parties are also planning to develop a small APN node, which will enable the deployment of APNs in regional data centers and small and medium-sized sites.The following items will be addressed in this research and development:R&D Item 1: Develop overall APN architectureR&D Item 2: Research and develop common APN infrastructure technology(a) Photonic network federation technologyAPI functions for accepting communication user's requests and function for reliable and stable interconnection between APNs of various carriers according to communication user's requests (e.g. destination, communication quality).(b) Subchannel circuit exchange technologyEnables the simultaneous use of multiple clouds and data centers as well as flexible switching, when accommodating many communication users, ensuring communication quality (required bandwidth, delay, and jitter) by E2E according to the requirements of each communication user.(c)Distributed ROADM technology3An interface function that enables the simple operation of network nodes equipped with only a part of the main functions (wavelength insertion/branching and multiplexing functions) of the current ROADM, which enables the downsizing of APN nodes and the deployment of APN in rural data centers and small and medium-sized sites. It also provides a cooperation function between the ROADM node with the main functions and the downsized APN node being considered for installation.Figure 1: Overview of R&D Activities for Common Infrastructure TechnologyWhen the outcomes of this research and development are implemented in society, APNs of various providers, including different communication carriers, can be used seamlessly. For example, it will enable high-speed, low-latency simultaneous connection to multiple providers that provide AI, cloud, and other services, as well as flexible selection and switching of connection destinations. The five companies will collaborate to realize such a society.1. www.soumu.go.jp/menu_news/s-news/01tsushin03_02000402.html2. www.soumu.go.jp/menu_news/s-news/01tsushin03_02000400.html3.

Machine learning can predict the mechanical properties of polymers ACN Newswire

Machine learning can predict the mechanical properties of polymers

TSUKUBA, Japan, Oct 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Polymers such as polypropylene are fundamental materials in the modern world, found in everything from computers to cars. Because of their ubiquity, it’s vital that materials scientists know exactly how each newly developed polymer will perform under different preparation conditions. Thanks to a new study, which was published in Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, scientists can now use machine learning to determine what to expect from a new polymer.Machine learning predicts the material properties of new polymers with high accuracy, providing a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods.Predicting the mechanical properties of new polymers, such as their tensile strength or flexibility, usually involves putting them through destructive and costly physical tests. However, a team of researchers from Japan, led by Dr. Ryo Tamura, Dr. Kenji Nagata, and Dr. Takashi Nakanishi from the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, showed that machine learning can predict the material properties of polymers. They developed the method on a group of polymers called homo-polypropylenes, using X-ray diffraction patterns of the polymers under different preparation conditions to provide detailed information about their complex structure and features.“Machine learning can be applied to data from existing materials to predict the properties of unknown materials,” Drs. Tamura, Nagata, and Nakanishi explain. “However, to achieve accurate predictions, it’s essential to use descriptors that correctly represent the features of these materials.”Thermoplastic crystalline polymers, such as polypropylene, have a particularly complex structure that is further altered during the process of molding them into the shape of the end product. It was, therefore, important for the team to adequately capture the details of the polymers’ structure with X-ray diffraction and to ensure that the machine learning algorithm could identify the most important descriptors in that data.The new method accurately captured the structural changes of commonly used plastic Polypropylene during the molding process into the end product.To that end, they analysed two datasets using a tool called Bayesian spectral deconvolution, which can extract patterns from complex data. The first dataset was X-ray diffraction data from 15 types of homo-polypropylenes subjected to a range of temperatures, and the second was data from four types of homo-polypropylenes that underwent injection molding. The mechanical properties analysed included stiffness, elasticity, the temperature at which the material starts to deform, and how much it would stretch before breaking.The team found that the machine learning analysis accurately linked features in the X-ray diffraction imagery with specific material properties of the polymers. Some of the mechanical properties were easier to predict from the X-ray diffraction data, while others, such as the stretching break point, were more challenging.“We believe our study, which describes the procedure used to provide a highly accurate machine learning prediction model using only the X-ray diffraction results of polymer materials, will offer a nondestructive alternative to conventional polymer testing methods,” the NIMS researchers say.The team also suggested that their Bayesian spectral deconvolution approach could be applied to other data, such as X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and used to understand the properties of other materials, both inorganic and organic.“It could become a test case for future data-driven approaches to polymer design and science,” the NIMS team says.Further informationRyo TamuraNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)tamura.ryo@nims.go.jpKenji NagataNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nagata.kenji@nims.go.jpTakashi NakanishiNational Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)nakanishi.takashi@nims.go.jpPaper: https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2024.2388016About Science and Technology of Advanced Materials (STAM)Open access journal STAM publishes outstanding research articles across all aspects of materials science, including functional and structural materials, theoretical analyses, and properties of materials. https://www.tandfonline.com/STAM Dr Yasufumi NakamichiSTAM Publishing DirectorEmail: NAKAMICHI.Yasufumi@nims.go.jpPress release distributed by Asia Research News for Science and Technology of Advanced Materials.

EduEdge Introduces Formula-Style Method, Changing English Mastery for Struggling Students ACN Newswire

EduEdge Introduces Formula-Style Method, Changing English Mastery for Struggling Students

SINGAPORE, Oct 25, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - EduEdge is proud to announce its Formula-Style method, designed to transform the way struggling students master English. Despite English being Singapore's first language, many students struggle with deeper aspects of the language, such as comprehension, written expression and critical thinking. This proficiency gap affects not only their English grades but also their performance in other subjects. Research highlights a strong link between English language proficiency and academic achievement in areas like Maths and Science, underscoring the importance of mastering English for well-rounded academic success.From left to right: Angela's mum, brother, EduEdge Founders: Edwin Edangelus Cheng and Rowena May Yue, Angela Ray OhTraditional teaching methods often fall short of helping students achieve true language mastery. As English is the most widely spoken language globally, this lack of holistic proficiency concerns parents who want their children to excel, not just in exams but in life. EduEdge addresses this challenge through a revolutionary approach to English education.Pioneered by founder Edwin Edangelus Cheng, EduEdge developed the groundbreaking Formula-Style method, designed to take the guesswork out of English learning. Backed by years of educational research, this structured approach goes beyond exam preparation by equipping students with the critical language skills and deep understanding necessary for lifelong success. By breaking down complex language concepts into easy-to-apply formulas, EduEdge empowers students to excel academically while mastering the communication skills essential for future professional achievements.Edwin Edangelus Cheng's personal journey resonates with many parents and students. "I once was like your child," Edwin shares, recalling his struggles with English as a student from a Chinese-speaking family. His experience and years as a public school teacher, where he taught both English and Physics, inspired him to find structured methods for language learning."I saw how students approached learning English," Edwin explains. "They often rely on intuition without the structure or proper articulation needed for true mastery. In Physics, we see results quickly because of its formula and steps. I wondered, could the same formula-style approach work for English?" This question led to the development of EduEdge's Formula-Style method, offering a more structured and methodical way to teach and learn English.What makes the Formula-Style method different is its ability to break down English learning into easy-to-apply and easy-to-remember formulas, similar to Maths and Science. This system, known as the Total English Mastery System (TEMS), helps students learn English in a faster, smarter and more effective way. Over the past 10 years, TEMS has helped more than 3,500 students from over 150 schools across Singapore improve by at least two grades, with many achieving high Bs and As in English and General Paper (GP) exams. Students who started with borderline or failing grades found success by mastering six core language skills—Vocabulary, Grammar, Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.The impact of the Formula-Style method is shown in the stories of students who have experienced notable success. One such example is Angela Ray Oh, who, like many others, struggled with English during secondary school and was stuck at a C6 grade despite her determination. Her breakthrough came in Sec 4 when her mum enrolled her in EduEdge. After learning structured techniques, Angela's approach to English transformed, leading her to score an A2 for her O-Levels.The benefits of these techniques extended beyond secondary school. While studying at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Angela was awarded the Lee Kuan Yew (LKY) STEP Award, a highly competitive scholarship. The application process required writing two essays within 48 hours. Drawing on the writing techniques and critical thinking skills she gained at EduEdge, Angela crafted her submissions with confidence and aced both essays and the interview, demonstrating how EduEdge's method equips students for real-world success.This success is no coincidence. EduEdge's Formula-Style method is powerful, but its true impact is realised through the exceptional educators who bring it to life. The highly qualified and passionate teachers at EduEdge are rigorously selected, ensuring that the method is delivered to its full potential. This combination of structured techniques and top-tier teaching creates a transformative learning experience that drives students' success.Every journey at EduEdge begins with a Diagnostic Consultation Assessment (DCA) involving both parents and students. This personalised session provides a clear and quantifiable understanding of the child's current abilities and identifies specific areas that need improvement. Many parents believe misconceptions like, "My child speaks English, but their test results aren't great," or "My child reads a lot, but the results aren't improving." The DCA dispels these misconceptions by pinpointing underlying issues in comprehension, writing or critical thinking. This tailored approach allows EduEdge to develop a plan for effective improvement, ensuring more conducive learning.Parental involvement is a key aspect of the EduEdge approach. Regular feedback is provided via email, based on detailed marking of the child's submitted work. This ensures parents stay up to date on their child's progress. Post-lesson consultations are also available to address any specific concerns.Committed to continuous innovation, EduEdge keeps refining its methods to ensure students receive quality education not just for exams but for lifelong success. As part of its forward-thinking approach, EduEdge is exploring the use of AI and cutting-edge technology to personalise learning for every student further and extend educational support beyond the classroom.

Military Metals Adds Key Ground at Its West Gore Antimony Property, Signs Binding LOI to Acquire Additional Claims ACN Newswire

Military Metals Adds Key Ground at Its West Gore Antimony Property, Signs Binding LOI to Acquire Additional Claims

Vancouver, British Columbia--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - October 24, 2024) - Military Metals Corp. (CSE: MILI) (OTC Pink: MILIF) (FSE: QN90) (the "Company" or "Military") announces it has signed a binding LOI to acquire further claims surrounding its West Gore Antimony Project ("West Gore" or the "Project") to consolidate the mineralized area. West Gore is a brownfield project with past production, historical high-grade drill results include 7.07 metres of 10.6 gpt gold and 3.4% antimony. During a period of production, it was Canada's most prominent antimony mine.West Gore consists of four Exploration Licenses comprising 585 hectares located in Hants County, Nova Scotia, Canada, and the newly acquired ground adds 388 hectares to the immediate northwest of the Project, comprising the balance of the West Gore antimony-gold mineralized system and its historical mine workings. The Company has a three-year option to acquire a 100% interest in the licenses for $235,000 spread over the term and the sellers will receive a 3% Net Smelter Royalty ("NSR") with standard buy-back provisions. It is anticipated the Company will announce the Definitive Agreement within ten days.The historical West Gore mines have a mining history dating back to 1883 and were a significant source of antimony during the First World War, most of which was shipped to England. Total production of gold and antimony between 1883 and 1917, the last recorded year of production, remains unknown. However, between 1914 and 1917 alone, nearly 32,000 metric tons were mined yielding over 7,000 metric tons of antimony concentrate grading 46% antimony. The total amount of gold recovered up to 1917 was estimated to be nearly 6,900 ounces. Aside from minor exploration work in the 1960s, the 1980s, and again over the past few years, the West Gore system remains essentially unexplored.With the acquisition of the new claims the Company has gained complete coverage over the entire mineralized system including all the historical mine workings and known antimony-gold occurrences with additional ground along trend in both directions as exhibited in Map 1 below. This in turn enables the Company to approach this antimony-gold system in its entirety to unlock future value. All relevant data are in the process of being compiled into an integrated digital database, with exploration plans to follow.Map 1: West Gore Project ClaimsTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/10818/227668_841965127489abc4_001full.jpgAntimony-gold mineralization at West Gore is hosted in graphitic and sulfide-bearing slates of the lower units of the Cambrian-age Halifax Formation that were deformed into a northeast-trending, upright, closed syncline and metamorphosed to greenschist facies during the regional Acadian orogeny. Mineralization occurs as stibnite, native antimony, aurostibnite, and antimony-gold alloys and oxides. Whereas the fold belt strikes northeast-southwest, mineralized structures trend northwest-southeast.The technical contents of this release were reviewed and approved by Avrom E.

Fujitsu and Toyota Systems Corporation achieve 50% reduction in core system update time using generative AI JCN Newswire

Fujitsu and Toyota Systems Corporation achieve 50% reduction in core system update time using generative AI

Kawasaki and Nagoya, Japan, Oct 25, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Toyota Systems Corporation (Toyota Systems) today announced the successful completion of field trials leveraging Fujitsu’s generative AI offerings on Fujitsu Kozuchi (1) to improve productivity and accelerate the modernization of Toyota Systems’ system development and operations. The trials confirmed a 50% reduction in the work time required for system updates as compared to conventional manual processes. The reductions were achieved by automating incompatibility checks and removals and program correction associated with OS and programming language updates.Based on these positive results, Toyota Systems will commence practical application of this technology starting January, 2025.Toyota Systems develops and operates core systems for production, logistics, sales, and other functions used by the Toyota Group. Sometimes it is necessary to update the underlying OS and programming languages of these systems, but carrying out the associated tasks of compatibility checks, identifying affected areas, correcting programs, and conducting testing are labor-intensive.To address this challenge, Fujitsu and Toyota Systems started trials in October 2023, leveraging Toyota Systems’ expertise in core systems and Fujitsu’s software development and generative AI knowledge to find a way to streamline the updating process.The field trials focused on approximately 15,000 files developed in Java and SQLJ. The generative AI successfully extracted system-impacting incompatibilities based on provided information and automatically corrected the programs. Fujitsu and Toyota Systems confirmed the corrections were accurate and as a result achieved a 50% reduction in work time compared to if the tasks had been carried out manually.Moving forward, the two companies aim to further improve productivity by expanding the application of generative AI to other programming languages beyond Java and SQLJ, as well as to the testing phase. They also plan to deploy this technology to other Toyota Group systems and projects to accelerate modernization across the organization.Toyota Systems will leverage generative AI to radically improve system development efficiency, freeing up resources to drive further innovation and ultimately deliver new value to the mobility sector and society.
