SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 May 2025 – Eternity Waterproofing Pte Ltd, a leading provider of waterproofing services in Singapore, is proud to announce that its specialists will soon achieve the Level 1 Infrared Thermography Certification. This globally recognised certification, offered by the Institute of Infrared Thermography (IIRT) Singapore, empowers professionals to utilise advanced thermal imaging technology for precise water leak detection within buildings. Thermal Imaging Detect Leaking The certification underscores the company’s commitment to delivering superior service and ensuring optimal results for its clients. By integrating this cutting-edge technology, Eternity Waterproofing will enhance its ability to provide more effective waterproofing solutions, including roof waterproofing, spalling concrete repair, wall leakage repair, ceiling leakage repair, and a range of other related services. A Game-Changing Approach to Leak Detection The incorporation of thermal imaging technology revolutionises the way water leaks are detected. Unlike traditional methods that often involve invasive procedures, thermal imaging enables Eternity Waterproofing’s certified specialists to accurately pinpoint hidden leaks behind walls, ceilings, and floors. This non-invasive technique significantly reduces the risk of additional property damage, minimises the need for exploratory demolition, and accelerates the repair process. “By integrating thermal imaging into our services, we can offer faster, more accurate diagnoses of water intrusion issues,” said Leo Zi Ming, Director. “This not only saves time and money for our clients but also delivers a more effective, long-term solution to water damage prevention.” Investing in Technology and Expertise To meet the rigorous standards of the Certification, Eternity Waterproofing has made significant investments in state-of-the-art infrared cameras and equipment. The company now employs high-resolution thermography cameras from renowned brands such as FLIR and HIKMICRO, which are specifically designed to detect even the slightest temperature variations caused by water intrusion. Along with advanced cameras, Eternity Waterproofing has also adopted specialised software to interpret and document thermal images, providing more detailed reports and improving diagnostic accuracy. These reports, which can only be generated by licensed professionals, ensure compliance with industry standards and provide clients with reliable documentation for any necessary repairs or insurance claims. Thermal imaging will be seamlessly integrated with other diagnostic technologies, including moisture meters and pressure testing systems, offering a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach to non-invasive leak detection. Expanding Opportunities and Building Trust This certification opens new opportunities for Eternity Waterproofing in key markets, including real estate inspections, insurance assessments, and commercial property maintenance. Certified thermal imaging specialists can offer preemptive leak detection services to property managers, builders, and insurers, ensuring that potential water-related issues are identified early on and prevented before they escalate into costly repairs. Furthermore, the certification enhances Eternity Waterproofing’s industry credibility, assuring clients that they work with highly trained professionals using the latest technology. This strengthens customer trust, fosters long-term partnerships, and encourages increased referrals.

HANGZHOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2025 – From April 23 to 25, the Third UNESCO High-Level Forum for Museums was held in Hangzhou. Gathering over 190 museum directors, experts, and institutional representatives from more than 60 countries and regions around the world, the forum focused on in-depth discussions around key topics, including “The Evolution and Transformative Role of Museums”, “The Application of Digital Technology and Artificial Intelligence”, and “The Role of Museums as Educational Carriers and Lifelong Learning Platforms”. The outcomes of the forum will be presented at the World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development to be held in Spain in September 2025. This forum was not only a professional cultural gathering but also a vibrant cross-cultural dialogue among youth. During the forum’s activities, Aymene, a Generation Z student from Morocco studying in Hangzhou, visited sites such as Liangzhu Museum, personally experiencing how digital technology is reshaping museums – a vivid demonstration of international youth’s innovative approach to “unlocking museums”. At Liangzhu Museum, Aymene engaged with the “Liangzhu Ancestors AI Face Swap Generator”, where artificial intelligence created a personal portrait infused with Liangzhu cultural elements. In front of the camera, he exclaimed, “It truly generated an AI image of me in the style of Liangzhu!” With the integration of AI, museums are no longer just places to observe history but have evolved into platforms to converse with history. Technology has rendered traditional culture tangible, approachable, and playful. Moroccan youth Aymene engaged with the “Liangzhu Ancestors AI Face Swap Generator” at Liangzhu Museum, using artificial intelligence to create a personal portrait infused with Liangzhu cultural elements. Another highlight was the AR headset tour. Aymene marveled at how it “broke the limits of perception”. With a simple gesture, pottery and jade cong artifacts from 5,000 years ago leapt vividly before his eyes, accompanied by clear explanations of their functions, craftsmanship, and historical backgrounds. Regarding these technological displays of cultural heritage, Aymene remarked, “They have turned 5,000-year-old cultural symbols into a universal language for the world. With cultural continuity enhanced by technological innovation, it’s no wonder that this homegrown AR headset from Hangzhou won the admiration of museum directors from around the globe.” Through the lens of international youth, this forum raised an inspiring question: “How can Generation Z and museums achieve mutual engagement?” The answers are gradually emerging: telling artifact stories through short videos, and reviving ancient ruins with AI—these approaches not only dissolve the boundaries of space and perception but also reshape how people connect with cultural heritage. To Gen Z, museums aren’t dusty relics—they’re a fleeting moment in history’s river, a high-five across the expanse of time. With the advance of digital technologies and the growing cultural consciousness among global youth, future museums may evolve from being mere repositories of the past into laboratories for the future. From “understanding” to “participating,” from “passive reception” to “active engagement,” international youth are redefining the way to unlock museums. This vibrant dialogue across the world is breathing new life into museums, opening up infinite possibilities for the future.

LUX and VML Singapore Create Entertaining Playlists That Spark Reflection on Gender Representation in Popular Bollywood Songs SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 April 2025 – Iconic beauty brand, LUX, has always stood against casual sexism. Through the years, LUX has launched numerous campaigns to fight sexism and empower women. This year, LUX is tackling sexism head-on through music. Unstoppable female DJs: Dr Sangria, DJ Pearl and DJ Tashi rocking club-goers with electrifying LUX Mash-Ups. Teaming up with Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series—India’s leading music powerhouse with an expansive catalogue that resonates with diverse audiences—this collaboration marks a bold and culturally resonant step in driving the conversation around equality and respect. Rather than dismissing these cultural touchstones, LUX chose to spark a dialogue and offer a fresh perspective. Working with VML Singapore and on-ground partner EYP Creations, and collaborating with India’s leading female DJs – DJ Pearl, DJ Tashi, and Dr Sangria – the LUX Mash-Up was created to encourage reflection on the messages embedded within popular songs. The Mash-Up playlists juxtapose popular Bollywood hits with empowering anthems, creating a dynamic interplay between familiar sounds and progressive perspectives. The project aims to offer a counterpoint to potentially limiting portrayals, fostering a more nuanced understanding. LUX Mash-Ups remix and reframe familiar songs, inviting listeners to consider the underlying messages and encouraging a more empowering interpretation of these cultural staples.

Music is memory. By evolving the narratives we dance and celebrate to, we can shape a more inclusive and empowering vision of women and their beauty and strength,” said Hinoti Joshi, Global Managing Partner at VML Singapore. “With the LUX Mash-Up, we wanted to fight sexism without preaching; to make people move – and make them think – without missing a beat,” said Marco Versolato, CCO of VML Singapore. Live performances, curated playlists on digital platforms, and engaging online content allowed the campaign to organically integrate into India’s celebratory spaces, sparking both joy and reflection. This entertaining campaign builds on LUX’s longstanding commitment to championing women and promoting positive cultural narratives.
