The system is designed to stretch and strengthen at the same time, thereby increasing your range of motion, strengthening ligaments and tendons as well as developing coordination and other benefits.

The Study of Music




The Asian Youth Orchestra has many wonderful musicians who have achieved so much in the world of music. There is something about music that brings out the best in people,  including creativity and also the many different emotions that are generated when people play or listen to music. There are so many different styles of music and a vast variety of musical instruments to choose from!

Now, there is a big difference between studying music and listening to music. Studying music has to do with learning how to create music either for yourself or for others. The benefits of studying music are arguably more than the benefits of actually listening to it.
The benefits include:



Focus

Studying music requires great concentration. One would need to listen to every beat, every tiny sound and this is because each tiny sound combines together to create the music. A missing beat can wreak havoc on the entire song!
Music requires practice and the more practice a student of music makes, the more focus one develops. And focus, when applied to any venture, leads to success.

Coordination

In music, coordination means using the parts of the body to work effectively together to create music. For example, when playing a guitar or a trumpet, the fingers, the arms, the wrists, the mouth, the brain, etc., all work together to create beautiful music. One must place one’s fingers exactly or it sounds wrong. When things go wrong, a musician must be able to spot where the change occurred and get back on track. This is a valuable skill in life.


Perseverance

You have likely listened to talented musicians, in a variety of genres and instruments. Skillful playing doesn’t just happen on it’s own, there is much practice and repetitive drill work that goes on to create something that seems effortless. This perseverance, ie learning to keep at something until it is perfect, is a vital skill that can be applied in many areas of life.

The Asian Youth Orchestra is Asia's premier pre-professional orchestra, which offers opportunities for advanced study, performance and international concert touring experiences. Be sure to follow Asian Youth Orchestra on Facebook and Instagram for 2019’s audition and tour dates and details!

7th Annual China AIDS Walk : Beijing


Sunshine and blue skies supplied an amazing day for a steep hike on the Great Wall of China! The 7th annual China AIDS Walk took place on September 15th, 2018, where several hundred people attended to raise money and public awareness about HIV/AIDS, as well as to eliminate stigma and discrimination. Douglas White, Director of Business Development and Social Media for Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 was in attendance saying ‘It is a joy to be even a small part of their great effort.”  

Although medical treatment is paid free of charge by the government, stigma limits social progress. Attendees band together to hike the Great Wall and learn about the vital work that LGBT+ organizations are doing across China to educate and advocate for people with HIV/AIDS.  With a population of 1.4 billion, this is no small task!
 
 
The goals of the 2018 China AIDS Walk included:
  • Reaching out to 2,000 people and sharing with them the updated information on the prevention, treatment and care of HIV/AIDS in China.
  • Raising CNY 700,000 for the operation of the project and organizing various activities for the community, including advocacy & public education, small grants and HAILS training, and to support community-led HIV/AIDS initiatives throughout China.
  • To motivate at least 200 people to join together to create a memorable and meaningful Great Wall day-hike!

Why do we care about HIV/AIDS and our community?
AIDS has become a controllable, preventable and manageable chronic disease, while HIV can be effectively suppressed in the body. What's more, research on HIV cure and vaccine has shown promising results.

Unfortunately misunderstanding and discrimination is still very prevalent in the Chinese community. People living with HIV experience difficulties every day-- especially when they try to see a doctor, apply for a job, or go to school. These difficulties not only damage the physical and mental health of people living with HIV, but also jeopardize the prevention, treatment and care of HIV/AIDS.

We must work together to raise HIV/AIDS awareness and fight to eliminate social stigma and discrimination in our local communities!

About us:

Hong Kong is the first Asian city to host the Gay Games, the world’s biggest international sporting and cultural event for all, in 2022. Gay Games Hong Kong 2022 will be an empowering experience for LGBT+ athletes and supporters from across Asia, in addition to welcoming visitors from around the world, to participate in a variety of sporting and cultural events.

If you are reading this blog, then our search engine optimization (SEO) strategy is performing just as intended. As an SEO content writer, it is my job to ensure that these blogs, articles, content, whatever term you want to use, has enough keywords in them to attract readers such as yourself to them. The ultimate objectives being to increase brand awareness, search engine (Google) ranking, generate website traffic, and driving conversions. And in addition, to hopefully provide interesting new branded content for both current followers as well as for new followers and potential customers.
One of the most frequent questions I hear is “How many keywords should I be using?”, as if there is a magic number that will instantly make a posting go viral-- attracting huge amounts of followers and traffic. An ideal keyword density is definitely a goal to strive for, but there is not exactly a “magical number” when it comes to writing content optimized for search engine traffic and conversions.

Here are a few Tips and Strategies you may find useful when writing SEO-friendly content.

Search engines have gotten smarter, as SEO algorithms have adjusted to human patterns more precisely. Context, ie how the keyword is used, is now much more important than simple keyword density. For example, if you are just listing a bunch of keywords in a group at the end of your postings, search engines will prioritize your website much less than if you use your keywords in actual sentences. The variation of the terms you use and the overall context of your writing matters much, much more than simply plugging in keywords in a such a monotonous manner. Remember: Search engines ultimately want to match your content with a user’s intent.

Ensure that the keywords you are using are actually a good match for the purposes of your content. You will want to check to see that your target keywords have a high search volume and that they actually make sense for your website, niche or brand. Research is key here, be sure your strategy is on pointe!

Always remember what your ultimate goal is, usually for most businesses this is driving conversions-- ie converting readers into purchasing customers. Other goals may be simply to build followers, your social media presence, or spread brand awareness. Always write with this purpose in mind, with a focus on building a connection with your audience.  By having an end goal in mind when you create content, you will be well on your way to more traffic and conversions.
