This video is made by Dr. Pearl Lin and Dr. Clare Fung's project, "Great Case of Marketing in the Hospitality and Tourism Industry." A special thanks to Liu Hao, who provided information and insights for this video. This case discusses how the Chinese tea brand Naixue collaborated with musician Jay Chou's Fantasy album to create a successful marketing campaign. Naixue leveraged Chou's massive fanbase by co-branding with the album, allowing them to use Chou's image and music without the high endorsement fees. They created a "Fantasy Music Universe" virtual space where consumers could access digital products and rewards by purchasing co-branded items. This innovative digital and experiential marketing strategy led to record-breaking sales, enhanced Naixue's brand image, and showcased the power of AI and digital technology in modern marketing. However, the case also highlights the need for brands to balance technological innovation with maintaining brand integrity and transparency to sustain long-term consumer trust.
本視頻由林博士和馮博士的專案「酒店和旅遊業行銷的傑出案例」製作。特別感謝劉昊為本視頻提供信息和見解。本案例討論了中國茶飲品牌奈雪如何與音樂家周杰倫的Fantasy專輯合作，打造成功的營銷活動。奈雪利用周杰倫的龐大粉絲群，與周傑倫的專輯進行聯合品牌推廣，使他們能夠使用周杰倫的形象和音樂，而無需支付高昂的代言費。他們創建了一個「范特西音樂宇宙」虛擬空間，消費者可以通過購買聯名商品來獲得數位產品和獎勵。這種創新的數位和體驗式行銷策略帶來了創紀錄的銷售額，提升了奈雪的品牌形象，並展示了人工智慧和數位技術在現代行銷中的力量。然而，該案也凸顯了品牌需要在技術創新與保持品牌完整性和透明度之間取得平衡，以維持長期的消費者信任。

The idea of translanguaging has disrupted much of the thinking about language, communication and learning and raised some fundamental questions about human language and human cognition. One of these questions concerns an assumption that seems to underlie a great deal of the work on intercultural communication, and that is, speakers of different named languages not only use language differently, but also think differently and have different worldviews. In this talk, I want to invite the participants to rethink about this issue, from the perspective of Translanguaging, which posits that bilinguals and multilinguals do not think unilingually and thinking goes beyond named languages and indeed beyond what has traditionally been conceived as linguistic versus non-linguistic processes. I offer my views on the existing work in intercultural communication and cross-linguistic studies of cognitive processing and Linguistic Relativity. Implications of this common-humanity-based conceptual stance for intercultural communication including business and workplace lingua franca communication, as well as for language learning and pedagogy, and research design are discussed.

PAIR distinguished lecture series: an overview of high performance computing and future requirements
In this talk, we examine how high performance computing has changed over the last ten years and look toward the future in terms of trends. These changes have had and will continue to impact our numerical scientific software significantly. A new generation of software libraries and algorithms are needed for the effective and reliable use of (wide area) dynamic, distributed, and parallel environments. Some of the software and algorithm challenges have already been encountered, such as the management of communication and memory hierarchies through a combination of compile-time and run-time techniques, but the increased scale of computation, depth of memory hierarchies, range of latencies, and increased run-time environment variability will make these problems much harder.

“Have you ever had this experience?” asks physicist Dominic Walliman in a TEDxEastVan Talk. “You’re having a chat with someone, and they’re telling you something about a subject they’re very interested in or they know a lot about, and you’re following along. Then, at some stage you realize you kind of lost the thread of what they’re saying … You realize you have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about.”

MOOC
Globalisation and advances in information and communication technology have resulted in a 24/7 work environment characterised by rapid change, a greater sense of competition, and an explosion in access to communication and information. These pressures compound stress related to workload and information processing – this not only reduces performance but can lead to a reduced sense of meaning and purpose as well as physical and mental health issues. Understanding stress and how to boost your resilience to it are essential skills for contemporary leaders and play a vital role in managing the demands you face at work. This course will focus on the nature of stressors facing leaders in today’s work environments and how to deal with them. You’ll explore personal resilience – your capacity to withstand and cope with stress – and strategies for self-management, motivation and organisation. You’ll also learn how resilience is impacted by health and social relationships.

Managers have tried various strategies and perks to boost employee engagement—all with little impact on long-term retention and performance. But now, neuroscience offers some answers. Through his research on the brain chemical oxytocin—shown to facilitate collaboration and teamwork—Zak has developed a framework for creating a culture of trust and building a happier, more loyal, and more productive workforce.
By measuring people’s oxytocin levels in response to various situations—first in the lab and later in the workplace—Zak identified eight key management behaviors that stimulate oxytocin production and generate trust: (1) Recognize excellence. (2) Induce “challenge stress.” (3) Give people discretion in how they do their work. (4) Enable job crafting. (5) Share information broadly. (6) Intentionally build relationships. (7) Facilitate whole-person growth. (8) Show vulnerability.
Ultimately, Zak concludes, managers can cultivate trust by setting a clear direction, giving people what they need to see it through, and then getting out of their way. In short, to boost engagement, treat people like responsible adults.
