Also present at the competition together with the Senior General and his wife were council members and their spouses, Union Ministers, union-level dignitaries and their spouses, the Nay Pyi Taw Council Chairman, senior Tatmadaw officers from the Office of the Commander-in-Chief and their wives, deputy ministers, members of the panel of judges assessing the competitions, supervisors, contestants from regions and states, ethnic brethren, as well as citizens who cherish cultural performing fine arts.

In the evening, the Senior General and his wife together with audiences enjoyed competitions of troupes in the marionette contest of the 25th Performing Arts Competition at Yinkyayhmu Yadana Hall of the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Culture.

First, Yadanabon marionette troupe representing Mandalay Region showed off their performing arts talents and skills with dances and dialogues to compete in the “Vessantara” drama contest at the amateur (first grade) level with the essence of consequences of Sila and competitiveness in Dhamma and Adhamma exercised by noble persons in serving interests of others under the nature of Paramattha Parami.

The Senior General and his wife cordially greeted members of the panel of judges for the marionette contest and contestants.

The Performing Arts Competition commenced in 1993, and the “Vidhura” dramamarionette contest was designated for marionette event in 1998. As such, the art of marionette which had faded out for some years resurged. As the Performing Arts Competition together with the art of marionette was halt for some reasons, the art of marionette was rejuvenated with the presentation of Vessantara Drama which resumed at the 23rd Performing Arts Competition in order to preserve Myanmar traditional cultural heritage. Moreover, the contest of marionette aims to admire and emulate the deep Dana Parami exercised by King Vessantara, understand varieties of Parami based on Dana Parami and comprehensively accumulate knowledge about the history of Buddhism for enhancement of perception and morality. — MNA/TTA

Each year, following the Thadingyut Full Moon Day, hot-air balloon companies provide these services, with the fare set at around K600,000 per person.

However, the tourism season in 2021 was suspended due to the global pandemic. In 2022, with resumption of tourism activities, both domestic and international visitors returned to Myanmar’s top destinations, including the beaches, pagodas, and temples.

Bagan saw an increase in tourist arrival numbers during the 2023 Thadingyut Festival, and the balloon rides proved particularly popular again during the 2024 festival.

Balloon operators offer convenient services, picking up passengers from their hotels and serving refreshments like coffee, tea, cookies, and snacks before the flight. The hot-air balloon ride lasts from 45 minutes to an hour. Upon landing, passengers are treated to cold drinks, wine, and banana cake and other snacks before being transported back to their hotels.

Balloons usually launch from Bagan Amazing Golf Club and the hotel zone, making the ride a favourite among both foreign and local tourists, particularly those from Asian countries.

There are currently four hot-air balloon companies providing these services in Bagan, operating from October (starting with the Thadingyut festival) until the first week of April. Additionally, a skydiving company started offering services from 16 October.

Tourists flying over Bagan can enjoy a stunning aerial view of the 3,822 pagodas, temples, and statues, along with the scenic Ayeyawady River, contributing to the promotion of the region’s tourism sector. — Nyein Thu (MNA)/TKO

That was Myanmar’s first international friendly of the year, and the team claimed a solid victory over Sri Lanka. It was also the debut match for new head coach U Myo Hlaing Win, who led the team to this promising start.

The Myanmar starting lineup included star players such as team captain Maung Maung Lwin, goalkeeper Pyae Phyo Thu, Nanda Kyaw, Soe Moe Kyaw, Thet Htein Soe, Hein Phyo Win, Zaw Win Thein, Kyaw Min Oo, Lwin Moe Aung, Hein Htet Aung, and Than Paing. Under the guidance of their new coach, Myanmar’s team is expected to focus more on collective team play rather than relying on individual efforts, which could improve their overall performance.

Despite missing a few key players, Sri Lanka’s team featured naturalized citizen players and key figures but struggled to find the net due to finishing issues. Lwin Moe Aung scored Myanmar’s goals in 16 minutes, and Maung Maung Lwin from a penalty in 53 minutes, which was set up by Than Paing’s relentless effort.

The second friendly between the two teams will take place at 4 pm Myanmar Standard Time on 13 October at the Thuwunna Youth Training Centre. — Ko Nyi Lay/KZL

WHEN someone with an emotional issue or mental illness struggles with the idea of seeing a therapist in person, there is now another option: speaking to an artificial intelligence (AI) therapist through a WeChat mini program.

WHEN someone with an emotional issue or mental illness struggles with the idea of seeing a therapist in person, there is now another option: speaking to an artificial intelligence (AI) therapist through a WeChat mini program.

The AI therapist can answer questions about mental health, conduct mental health assessments and judge a person’s emotional state by capturing facial expressions with the camera on the mobile phone. It was presented at the two-day 2024 World Computing Conference held this week in Changsha, the capital of central China’s Hunan Province.

“The AI therapist will reply accordingly with its diagnosis and recommendations, speaking in an appropriate tone that should help comfort the person,” said Yu Min, executive dean of the innovation research institute of Hunan Trasen Science & Technology Corp Ltd, developer of the AI medical system.

People can also reach out to an AI doctor that can diagnose users after they describe their symptoms. It can also carry out traditional Chinese medicine tongue diagnosis and provide recipes and exercise recommendations to achieve improved balance and harmony within the body.

“Traditional models cannot meet the need to develop such systems in medical services, which require a high level of accuracy. However, fast-developing computing power has provided us with strong support to develop this medical system in a more

accurate way,” Yu said.

According to Pan Yunhe, an academician at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, new models are expected to help us become more knowledgeable and work toward preventive treatments for diseases in the coming years if data gathered from physical examinations, disease cases, families and regions is combined.

With extreme weather events increasing in frequency, computing power also has a huge role to play in the prevention and control of natural disasters.

Thanks to a disaster monitoring and early warning platform, six households in Dayingang Village, Hunan’s Changde City, were able to relocate before a landslide occurred due to a week of rainfall in June.

The platform, developed by Hunan BDS Micro-chipset Data Technology Co Ltd, is able to capture subtle changes in mountains by deploying high-precision monitoring equipment and sensors based on the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, said Long Pengyu, the company’s deputy general manager.

“The platform can analyze the monitoring data to determine the mountain’s status and predict natural disasters such as mudslides and landslides more than three hours in advance of their occurrence,” he said.

The prevention of geological disasters such as landslides is an important task during the flood season in Hunan. Landslides develop quickly in extreme weather, and early warnings can now be sent via radio and text messages to help residents relocate in advance to avoid deaths, injuries and financial losses, Long added.

To date, the monitoring and early warning platform has been applied in more than 10 provinces in China.

“With accelerating technological innovation and algorithm improvement, we now have better warning results and accuracy levels. As a developer, we’re also making efforts to reduce costs so that the platform can be used over a wider range and benefit more residents,” he said.

The scale of China’s computing industry reached 2.6 trillion yuan (about US$370 billion) in 2022, according to official statistics. SOURCE: Xinhua

Brennan Johnson scored just three minutes into the match after Micky van de Ven's run and things got worse and worse for the home side.

Fernandes was sent off for a bad challenge on James Maddison, and Spurs showed their superiority with further goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke in the second half.

Aston Villa had the chance to go second on Sunday, but they were held to a 2-2away draw to Ipswich Town, who opened the scoring through Liam Delap's near post show after just eight minutes.

Aston Villa responded quickly with Morgan Rogers levelling after 15 minutes

as Ipswich failed to clear, and they took the lead just after the half hour when

Leon Bailey's cross was nodded in by Ollie Watkins.

Ipswich responded well after the break and got their reward in the 72nd minute when Delap netted a brilliant in dividual goal to save a point for his team.

Brennan Johnson scored just three minutes into the match after Micky van de Ven's run and things got worse and worse for the home side.

Fernandes was sent off for a bad challenge on James Maddison, and Spurs showed their superiority with further goals from Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke in the second half.

Aston Villa had the chance to go second on Sunday, but they were held to a 2-2away draw to Ipswich Town, who opened the scoring through Liam Delap's near post show after just eight minutes.

Aston Villa responded quickly with Morgan Rogers levelling after 15 minutes

as Ipswich failed to clear, and they took the lead just after the half hour when

Leon Bailey's cross was nodded in by Ollie Watkins.

Ipswich responded well after the break and got their reward in the 72nd minute when Delap netted a brilliant in dividual goal to save a point for his team.
