HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 September 2024 – Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong recently announced the opening of a Chinese and English bilingual programme for Early Years students from January 2025, with Year 1 to follow in August.

Offering an ambitious, bespoke and culturally rich programme, the Hanqing Bilingual Pathway (HQP) will expand the linguistic and cultural learning experiences of selected students and support the advanced development of literacy skills in both Chinese and English. Led by an outstanding team of native linguists, it will offer an even balance of daily interaction in both Chinese and English. HQP students will have full access to the facilities on campus and also benefit from specialist Music, Physical Education and Aquatics instruction as well as sector leading school-selection guidance.

HQP Chinese Principal, Sophie Che, travels to Hong Kong from Shanghai, having worked in a number of prestigious bilingual school settings in mainland China. She brings a wealth of experience of bilingual education and educational programme development.

“Underpinned by the academic rigour of the Early Years and Foundation Stage framework and the English National Curriculum, HQP students will develop native or near-native level Chinese and international standard English. Their academic strengths will ensure advantaged placement at all of the leading schools in Hong Kong and beyond.” Sophie Che, HQP Chinese Principal, Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong

Running in tandem with the much admired British International Pathway (BIP), enrolment into the HQP offers particular advantage to those keen to leverage the many nuanced interconnections between Chinese language and culture with 50% of the curriculum delivered in English and 50% in Chinese, to include the undertaking of Chinese Mathematics. Provision forms part of a strategic commitment and will be shaped by a common set of Guiding Statements.

“The imminent launch of a tailored dual language programme speaks directly of an institutionalised commitment to refreshment, renewal and partnership with parents. Under the outstanding leadership of Sophie Che, the HQP will offer a sector leading range of opportunities and experiences. It will draw directly upon the many successes we have already enjoyed here in Hong Kong and the rich history available to us through connection with Shrewsbury School, founded by Royal Charter in 1552.” Ben Keeling, Founding Principal, Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong

Collaborating with Local Artist Angel Hui to Explore the Beauty of a Millennia-old Cultural Treasure

Temple Mall presents a themed event and exhibition celebrating blue-and-white porcelain, inviting the public to explore and appreciate the rich heritage of this millennia-old cultural treasure In collaboration with emerging artist Angel Hui, the exhibition blends the aesthetics of blue-and-white porcelain with the local culture of Wong Tai Sin District, to craft and debut new art pieces, including a reinterpretation of the classic embroidered goldfish on plastic bags A striking 4-meter-tall kaleidoscopic installation inspired by blue-and-white porcelain will be on display, along with a variety of blue-and-white-porcelain-themed art gifts available for redemption by shoppers

HONG KONG, Sept. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Blue-and-white porcelain, renowned for its jade-like surface and cloud-like blue patterns, is celebrated as a treasured cultural artifact with a history spanning thousands of years in China. In its ongoing commitment to promoting cultural heritage, Temple Mall is presenting the "Blue-and-White Porcelain Impressions" art event, running from now until 31 October. The event features an exhibition and photo-worthy installations centred around blue-and-white porcelain.

Blue-and-White Porcelain Impressions Art Experience

Local artist Angel Hui has been invited to create four new works that blend the rich traditions of this ancient art form with the unique culture of Wong Tai Sin. Through these artistic expressions, the event seeks to offer the public an opportunity to appreciate the enduring beauty of this millennia-old treasure.

Collaborating with artist Angel Hui to create new blue-and-white porcelain works, inspired by Wong Tai Sin

In collaboration with Temple Mall, Angel Hui has created four blue-and-white porcelain pieces inspired by the distinctive character of Wong Tai Sin. Growing up in the area, Hui often draws from everyday life in her art. Her latest works capture the essence of Wong Tai Sin, reflecting authentic Hong Kong culture. Themes include the local "worshipping and blessing" traditions, the Wong Tai Sin Temple, and the classic "one pot, two pieces" custom of Hong Kong tea houses. Hui masterfully integrates these elements with porcelain patterns from the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, creating a seamless blend of history and modernity.

In addition to her blue-and-white porcelain works, Hui is also renowned for her embroidered goldfish on plastic bags, a classic series that was previously exhibited at Art Basel Hong Kong. To complement the event’s theme, Hui has recreated nine blue-and-white embroidered fighting fish, which are now on display at the mall, bringing her iconic work to life once again.

For those looking to explore the culture and history of blue-and-white porcelain, the interactive exhibition on the mall’s first floor provides a rich experience. Visitors can trace the evolution of blue-and-white porcelain through the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, view Hui’s new creations for the event up close, and discover other works of hers previously exhibited at the Hong Kong Museum of Art.

Join Angel Hui for an immersive Blue-and-White Porcelain Art Workshop

To promote the cultural heritage of blue-and-white porcelain, Angel Hui will be hosting a workshop at Temple Mall on 5 October. This workshop offers participants an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the art of blue-and-white porcelain and to discover the joy of creative expression. During the session, Hui will personally guide attendees in painting elegant and refined blue-and-white patterns. Link Up members can join the workshop upon specified spending in the mall.

Additionally, on the weekends of 5-6 and 12-13 October, Temple Mall North will host a weekend art and cultural market, where Hui will also be present. Visitors can explore and take home beautifully crafted cultural and creative items.

Step into an enchanting world of blue-and-white porcelain with a four-metre-tall kaleidoscope installation

During the event, Temple Mall will offer the public a feast for the senses, blending visual art and cultural heritage. Visitors can immerse themselves in the unique charm of blue-and-white porcelain through various art installations and exhibitions. The highlight of the event is undoubtedly the nearly four-metre-tall "Blue-and-White Kaleidoscope" installation at the North Wing. This stunning piece features a giant ceramic flower atop the kaleidoscope, alongside a classical blue-and-white porcelain screen, creating an atmosphere steeped in the artistry of this ancient tradition. As visitors step inside the kaleidoscope, they will be surrounded by a dazzling array of reflections, where the beautiful blue-and-white patterns merge with mirrored surfaces to provide a fully immersive visual experience, allowing them to deeply appreciate the beauty of the blue-and-white porcelain world.

Limited-edition blue-and-white themed CAMEL Thermos and other artistic gifts

From 2 September to 31 October, shoppers at Temple Mall who spend a specified amount and register as Link Up members can redeem exclusive blue-and-white themed art gifts designed by Angel Hui. These gifts include a special edition blue-and-white porcelain thermos, created in collaboration with the iconic Hong Kong brand CAMEL, and an adorable cat-themed cup produced in Jingdezhen, a town renowned for its porcelain. Also included in the offerings is a tea gift box set from the popular brand "MZK Life Store". Additionally, the four new blue-and-white porcelain works inspired by the Wong Tai Sin community and created by Hui for this event have been made into coasters, available for redemption.

Delectrik Launches Multi-MWh scale Flow Battery Solution for Large C&I and Utility Scale Applications

CISION PR Newswire

Sep 16, 2024

GURGAON, India, Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Delectrik Systems Pvt. Ltd. announces the launch of multi-MWh scale Vanadium Flow Battery based Energy Storage system for large scale Commercial, Industrial (C&I) and Utility scale applications. The primary building block comprises a 2 MW, 10 MWh Flow Battery (5 Hr storage) which can be combined to deliver projects of >100MWh capacity. For large projects, the per acre installed capacity will be about 200 MWh. The first MWh scale installation based on this product architecture will be deployed in India in H1 2025.

Delectrik has built and deployed Flow Batteries from small 10 kWh to containerized MWh scale systems. The existing containerized solution is suitable for C&I applications of sub 10 MWh capacity. Now with the new product the company aims to address the large-scale C&I and utility scale applications which are rapidly emerging.

Dr. Vishal Mittal, Delectrik’s Founder & CEO stated, "Delectrik has primarily been focused on building overseas markets with current exports to 9 countries across 5 continents. As volumes grow the company will look to establish manufacturing/assembly hubs in key regions to serve the local market. With this intent we have established our first overseas subsidiary company in Australia. We want to make sure just like we are ‘Making in India’ for India, we can do the same in key markets globally. In addition to continue expanding in these markets the company will lay a greater emphasis on scaling the domestic Indian market especially based on its large-scale Flow Battery solution."

"In addition to outright selling the batteries the company is looking to offer Energy Storage on Opex model via its subsidiary Delectrik Esaas Pvt. Ltd. Currently, organizations can meet only a part of their energy requirements with renewable electricity. With addition of storage, it allows them to transition almost entirely to green energy while increased savings on the energy bill. The PV + Flow Battery LCOE is already lower than electricity tariff paid by C&I consumers in quite a few regions."

As per the National Electricity Plan notification (NEP 2023), India’s domestic stationary BESS requirement is 411 GWh by 2031-32. This presents a massive opportunity for deploying low cost, long duration and long-life BESS such as Delectrik’s Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries.

AutoStore Introduces New Grid Capabilities, Including the Multi-Temperature Solution

AutoStore Introduces New Grid Capabilities, Including the Multi-Temperature Solution

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 September 2024 – Today, AutoStore™ introduces new Grid capabilities: the AutoStore™ Multi-Temperature Solution™, an expanded 18-Level Grid, a Motorized Service Vehicle, and enhancements to the cube control software. Building on AutoStore’s foundation of unmatched density, efficiency, and scalability, these innovations will help businesses maintain a competitive edge with their automated fulfillment solutions.

AutoStore™ unveils new Multi-Temperature Solution™ for frozen and chilled food, expanded 18-level grid, motorised service vehicle and software enhancements for a safer work environment and improved operational efficiency

“AutoStore is shifting to a regular cadence of product announcements, focusing on innovation and execution to better serve our customers. This fall, our new products directly address the challenges our customers face, while providing them with new tools to improve operational efficiency”, said Mats Hovland Vikse, CEO of AutoStore.

“We continue to lead in automated fulfillment, innovating technology to tackle complex operational challenges. Today’s announcements will enhance efficiency, reliability, and speed. We’re particularly proud to introduce the Multi-Temperature Solution, which will be a game-changer for grocers and open new use cases for AutoStore”, said Parth Joshi, CPO at AutoStore.

AutoStore’s latest innovations include:

Multi-Temperature Solution. The Multi-Temperature Solution allows multiple temperature zones within a single AutoStore cube. It is designed for frozen and chilled environments with a temperature range of -25°C in the frozen section to +6°C in the cooled areas. The picking of frozen products occurs at the Ports in the chilled area to eliminate picking of items within extreme frozen temperatures, thus creating a better working environment for operators. This will allow customers to have a solution that can increase speed and efficiency with their frozen inventory. Two Multi-Temperature Solutions are already underway. The first is fully operational at Haugaland Storhusholdning, a Norwegian food distribution company, installed by StrongPoint. The second is for La Réserve des Saveurs and will be installed by Swisslog. The Multi-Temperature Solution will be available for order from Q1, 2025.

Expanded 18-Level Grid. The vertical reach of the AutoStore Grid is extended, increasing its height from 16 to 18 levels with 330 mm Bins, and 24 to 26 levels with 220 mm Bins. This expansion increases storage density by up to 12.5%. Additionally, adding two more levels allows fulfillment centers to reduce Grid floor space by up to 11%, without sacrificing accuracy, flexibility, or modularity. This capability is available for all customers implementing new Grid installations.

Motorized Service Vehicle. This safety tool provides an easier way to maneuver on top of the Grid when performing routine maintenance tasks. This ensures even greater system reliability for large customers while prioritizing worker safety. The Motorized Service Vehicle will be available for order from Q1, 2025.

Enhancements to our cube control software. With this fall announcement and quarterly updates going forward, AutoStore enhances its cube control software. Super users can now proactively address issues during breaks or off-hours, turning unplanned stops into planned interventions. Additionally, the Unify Analytics™ platform has been improved to provide even more comprehensive system oversight.

“It’s been one quarter since I joined AutoStore, and we’re now moving towards an exciting Product 2.0 strategy. Our goal is to solve more complex problems for our customers through robust technology and a strong feedback loop. With ~70,000 Robots in our fleet and growing, the future is bright. Hear more at our upcoming Capital Markets Day!”, says Parth Joshi.

On September 18, AutoStore will present the company’s strategy and growth agenda at Capital Markets Day in Manchester. Access the webcast here.

New Product Launches

Olight unveiled five new products at the event: Arkfeld Ultra, Baton Turbo, Perun 3, Sphere, and the Arkfeld Pro (Paw Edition). The Arkfeld Ultra uses a new aluminum material, making it one of the toughest and most scratch-resistant flashlights in the world. Olight also used this material to create a special gift for each audience member.

With the release of the Arkfeld Pro (Paw Edition), Olight announced an animal charity project in 13 countries, dedicated to supporting animal welfare for at least two years. For every Arkfeld Pro (Paw Edition) sold, Olight will donate $5 to local animal charities. This initiative aims to raise funds for animal protection and increase social awareness and action.

Over 200 O-Fans attended the festival, celebrating with Olight’s management, R&D teams, and more.
