Unlearn | Relearn's main visual concept is based on the word 'Learn' in the traditional Mandarin character. The design team conceived the word 'Learn' into different dynamic visual configurations to best express the meaning of "Learn". Learning is not the mere absorption of what was seen and heard, but also to contemplate, adjust and respond. Therefore, the traditional Mandarin character of "Learn" becomes the focus and inspired the layout of the overall event. The word "Learn" can be seen on display everywhere in the event hall. Representatives from TEDxBangsar, TEDxJonkerStreet, TEDxHeriotWattUMalaysia and other curatorial teams were also invited to be part of the audience this year, signalling the growth of more TEDx events in Malaysia.

With the core value of creating an inspiring, influencing, creative and idea sharing platform, we gathered innovators, leaders, reformists, and idealists in Malaysia to share their visions to change for a better world. These visions are shared by those who believed that the art of storytelling is further refined if conveyed in native mother tongue. We encourage the speakers to share their ideas and concepts to narrate the positivity, passion and creative ideas that transformed the speaker's life, in order for their story to spread and touch the world. We believe, TEDxPetalingStreet could gather participants from various backgrounds and expertise to encourage and brainstorm together for better ideas and great thoughts for sharing and shaping the world. www.tedxpetalingstreet.com/en/ Photo - https://photos.prnasia.com/prnh/20191016/2612589-1?lang=0 Related Links :http://www.tedxpetalingstreet.com

Yantai Model gives strong impetus to the high-quality development of Shandong
YANTAI, China, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Information Office of the People's Government of Shandong Province and China Report Press jointly held a foreign media reporting activity with the theme of "New Shandong Momentum Marks a New Day for China's Opening-up" from October 9 to 12, aiming to enhance the international community's understanding of the economic and social development of China and create a sound public opinion environment for the upcoming Qingdao Multinationals Summit. Visiting the Shipyard of CIMC Raffles Yantai was the second leg of the press trip for the foreign journalists. The delegation had a tour of factories and workshops of Yantai's representative companies including SGM-Dongyue and CIMC Raffles. On the afternoon of October 10, the journalists visited SGM-Dongyue, the leading automaker of Yantai, and experienced first-hand the Dongyue Speed in the development of the automobile industry in Yantai. In the plants of the company, the foreign journalists were deeply impressed by the ubiquitous intelligent manufacturing technologies that adopt robots to increase efficiency. "The SGM-Dongyue visit is interesting because you barely see people working in the factories, as robots are doing most of the work," said Rafael Henrique Zerbetto, a journalist from Esperanto.China.org.cn. "The company's efforts in intelligent manufacturing are impressive." On the morning of October 11, the journalists went to CIMC Raffles to have an in-depth report on the company and its contribution to the development of China's advanced marine equipment manufacturing. At the shipyard of CIMC Raffles, the journalists marveled at the city's vitality in marine equipment manufacturing, as a number of marine ranching rigs that filled the vacuum of country's high-end marine equipment manufacturing were established on the coastline and the people were busily working on them. In both the automobile industry and advanced marine equipment manufacturing, Yantai is striving to create a "Yantai Model" of development through high-level technological innovations, so as to inject a powerful impetus into the high-quality economic and social development of Shandong Province. Rafael Henrique Zerbetto remarked that though it was only a short visit, he saw Yantai's beautiful scenes and had a pleasant time in the city, adding that Yantai is an ideal place to live and that he would come back someday for a vacation.

"New Shandong Momentum Marks a New Day for China's Opening-up" reporting trip concludes
QINGDAO, China, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On the afternoon of October 12, the foreign journalists reporting trip themed "New Shandong Momentum Marks a New Day for China's Opening-up" successfully concluded. During the four-day trip, journalists from international mainstream media organizations including the Associated Press, the United Press International, German magazine Der Spiegel, Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun, Spain's Colpisa News Agency, the Anatolia News Agency and the KazTAG news agency visited many multinationals in Shandong cities such as Jinan, Qingdao and Yantai to conduct in-depth news reporting. In the process, they witnessed the thriving economic development of Shandong Province and felt China's determination and confidence for expanding opening-up to achieve mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation. “New Shandong Momentum Marks a New Day for China’s Opening-up” reporting trip concludes From October 11 to 12, the delegation visited such enterprises as CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd., Qingdao Port and Qingdao Blue Silicon Valley in the beautiful coastal city of Qingdao, with an aim to reveal the city's critical role in promoting the development of "Chinese wisdom." The journalists were impressed by high-speed trains being assembled in the workshops of CRRC Sifang Co., Ltd. The company is the cradle for China's first high-speed CRH trains with a design speed of 200-250 kilometers per hour, 300 kilometers per hour and 380 kilometers per hour, respectively. The country's first Fuxing EMU (Electrical Multiple Unit) was also born here. In its trial operation, the CRH380A even created a world record at a speed of 486.1 kilometers per hour. The Fuxing EMU was put into commercial operation at a maximal speed of 350 kilometers per hour, making it the fastest bullet train in commercial operation around the world. CRRC Sifang is exploring the global market at breakneck speed, and its high-end equipment has been exported to more than 20 countries and regions including the United States, Singapore, Argentina, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Brazil and Chile. In Qingdao Port, those foreign journalists saw that the Qianwan container terminal was still bustling with vessels and vehicles and operating in an orderly manner with no human workers in sight. Unlike traditional terminals, this automated terminal boasts a world-leading smart control system serving as its "brain" that can automatically think and make decisions, considerably enhancing the terminal's operational efficiency. Journalists also visited the Pilot National Laboratory for Marine Science and Technology (Qingdao), Qingdao Blue Silicon Valley Incubation Center and Qingdao Robotfish Marine Technology Co., Ltd. in the Qingdao Blue Silicon Valley to learn about how the city boosts high-quality development of the marine economy through technological innovation. Georg Daniel Fahrion, a journalist from Der Spiegel, said, "During the trip we visited many Shandong enterprises in different fields to conduct in-depth interviews and reporting. The trip broadened my vision significantly. I hope I'll have another opportunity to visit Shandong and conduct in-depth communication with heads of those enterprises in the future, so as to gain a comprehensive insight into their history and status quo."

"Our 'customer first' approach focuses on solutions that enable the optimum guest experience and it's the driver behind our ongoing development efforts. We know consumers don't want to use cash, or fumble with tokens, they pervasively use their Mobile Wallet to pay for everything (millennials being the largest demographic and growing uptake across all demographics) because it guarantees convenience, speed, and security. Working on a new product module for our existing TOOLKIT system that enables existing Embed customers to offer their guests the ability to register the game card in the operator's Mobile Portal (part of the Embed solution) and the option to add the game card to their mobile wallet is a win-win for the operator and their guests." said Renee. This has been this year's top-secret development project. First, Embed worked with an FEC giant on the Mobile Wallet with their internal and external development teams, as well as Google and Apple to gain compliance approval for Embed's smartTOUCH readers. "This significant breakthrough is a result of a collaborative effort with our partners and customers (the Operators, Apple and Google). We listen and work very closely with our clients, drawing inspiration from other industries, monitoring technological advancement and closely research consumer behaviour to deliver this end-result, and ultimately enabling business owners to increase profitability," said Andy Welsh, CTO, Embed.
