Inspiring Kids to Grow & Glow through Healthy Eating & Living
PETALING JAYA, Sept 27 (Bernama) -- It was a special Malaysia Day for about 1,000 eager children between four and 12 years-old as they, accompanied by parents of the younger ones, were flagged off for the inaugural Cold Storage Kids Grow & Glow Run at Central Park Bandar Utama! The event kicked-off at 6.30am with the playing of "Negaraku", stirring the participants in their custom race t-shirts alongside scores of friends and family to rise and join in the singing of Malaysia's national anthem. Excited and motivated by the highly charged atmosphere, participants then took their places at the starting point, where they were ceremoniously flagged-off amidst cheers of encouragement from the supporters, right up to when they proudly crossed the finish line. Joining in the fun run with her children was Datin Dr. Halina Mohd Yunos, wife of Malaysia’s first astronaut, Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor. The Kids Grow & Glow Run, organised by Cold Storage Malaysia in conjunction with Malaysia Day, is the country's first-ever kids run to promote healthier eating and living within the community. Featuring the different stages of growth, the 1km race trail brought participants on a learning experience of life's evolution from birth to healthy adulthood. Throughout the race, participants were faced with several “growth obstacles”, which required them, amongst others, to balance themselves across a beam and climb over an inflatable pyramid. The children also learned to differentiate between healthy and unhealthy food choices, and ultimately make the decision to take the correct food path to get to the finish line and claim their medal! Speaking about the event, Mr. Pierre-Olivier Deplanck, CEO of GCH Retail (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. said, "On top of being the first event of its kind to be organised by Cold Storage Malaysia, the Kids Grow & Glow Run is also the first kids run in Malaysia that features the different stages of growth. As The Fresh Food People, Cold Storage Malaysia has always aimed to inspire our customers to make healthy food choices by availing the finest selection of organic, fresh and high quality groceries in all our stores. Today's event is held specifically on Malaysia Day to bring this commitment even further. This is where we move ahead with our vision, to celebrate and embrace the nation's diversity whilst nurturing the next generation to choose to live healthy lifestyles. A healthy person equates a healthy mind, and we believe that it's never too early to instil the habit of eating and living healthily amongst children." After the race, each participant was rewarded with a medal and given a goody bag to be filled up with numerous prizes and products from the various sponsor booths. Amongst the event’s main sponsors were Bestari, Dutch Lady, Mondelez and Haagen Dazs. The inaugural Kids Grow & Glow Run also saw 40 children from MyKasih Foundation joining the race towards a healthier life. Furthermore, a total of RM20,000 was channelled to MyKasih Foundation, as part of Cold Storage Malaysia's CSR efforts. mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=30161 SINGAPORE, Sept 26 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CHJ Technologies Singapore announced today that they have been chosen as one of the 6 approved vendors to supply cloud based DDoS protection and Web Application security services for the Singapore government over the next 3 years.

LONDON, Sept 27 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- ULLINK, a global provider of electronic trading and connectivity solutions to the financial community, has partnered with a leading European bank to develop a new solution for client quote management. The new solution, called UL QUOTE, is available to Brokers acting as a Systematic Internaliser (SI), enabling them to comply with MiFID II regulations concerning pre-trade transparency. With the introduction of MiFID II in January 2018, a SI acting as a liquidity provider in MiFID instruments must comply with new rules around client Request For Quote (RFQ) management, quote publication and reporting. ULLINK’s UL QUOTE solution is specifically designed to address these requirements. As a modular extension to ULLINK’s Order Management System (OMS), UL QUOTE enables a SI to receive cross-asset class RFQs and direct them to the most appropriate source of liquidity, including internal options. UL QUOTE also enables a SI to distribute multiple RFQs based on client orders to the market. The solution timestamps RFQs and attaches other data required for MiFID II reporting, and is fully FIX-compliant for easy interoperation with buy-side OMS and trading platforms. UL QUOTE extends the new product capabilities developed by Ullink for MiFID II compliance, following the launch of the UL PUBLISHER (for order data management and transaction reporting) and UL TRADE REPORTING (for real-time report generation and submissions to APAs) products announced earlier this year. Richard Bentley, Chief Product Officer at ULLINK, comments: “The changes in market structure due to MiFID II are both a challenge and an opportunity for brokers. As the deadline nears, we are continuing to see many brokers look to market specialists to ensure they meet the plethora of new rules covering quote publication and management, as well as post-trade reporting. UL QUOTE is the latest output of a long, successful collaboration with our customers to ensure we continue to provide products which help them achieve their business goals.” -Ends- Contacts ULLINK Mireille Adebiyi Advertising & Communications Director Tel.: +33 1 49 95 30 00 [email protected] or COGNITO Oliver Mann Yvonne Maher Tel: +44 (zero)20 74269420 [email protected] [email protected] Source: ULLINK TOKYO, Sept 26 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- alt Inc. which has developed "P.A.I.", the Personal Artificial Intelligence (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, CEO, Mr. Kazutaka Yonekura) will be speaking at “The AI Summit” to be held on 27 – 28 September 2017 in San Francisco, California and on 3 – 4 October 2017 in Singapore, respectively.

LONDON, Sept 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Global market research company Euromonitor International will present for the first time at the World Travel Market (WTM) London, the highly anticipated Top 100 City Destinations Ranking report, now incorporating global travel trends. Ahead of the release of the full city destination ranking on November 7, 2017, Euromonitor International reveals today insights on how travel trends are borne out of the opportunities and challenges that cities face.
According to Euromonitor International, London is the only UK city listed in the top 100 city destinations ranking, with 19.19 million tourists visiting the city in 2016. However, due to recent terrorist attacks, arrivals to London will see a slower growth of 3.4 percent in 2017, compared to a national average growth of 5.2 percent. Euromonitor predicts that post Brexit, other UK cities will grow at a faster rate, driven by rail developments, as UK authorities look for alternatives to improve transport links beyond London. Cities that could benefit from this are Edinburgh, the second ranked UK city with 1.6 million inbound arrivals, Birmingham and Manchester (1.2m), as well as Glasgow (688,000). Euromonitor International Senior Travel Analyst, Wouter Geerts, comments: “The UK is in the throes of Brexit, which seems to be impacting every political and corporate decision made. Depending on your interests, Brexit is a good or bad thing for the travel industry. While many will argue that projects are still focused too much on London, the positive outlook and hope is that projects like Crossrail and the Thameslink Programme are the start of a rail revolution. What the UK government might be lacking in ambition, is made up tenfold by companies like Hyperloop One, which currently is still in the concept and testing stages of its hyperloop infrastructure.” mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=30129 TOKYO, Sept 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation (TDSC) today announced the launch of two high speed signal transmission photorelays, “TLP3475S” and “TLP3440S,” that realize the industry’s smallest footprint[1].
