Dan Kitwood/Pool via REUTERS SINGAPORE  — Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on Monday warned of the scope for miscalculations over tensions in the Taiwan Strait, which he said were unlikely to ease soon amid deep suspicion and limited engagement between the United States and China. In a televised address ahead of the city-state’s national day on Tuesday, Lee said Singapore would be buffeted by that intense rivalry and tension in the region, which should prepare for a future less peaceful and stable than now. “Around us, a storm is gathering. US-China relations are worsening, with intractable issues, deep suspicions, and limited engagement,” Lee said. “This is unlikely to improve anytime soon.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Sometimes a movie has everything going for it: a wonderful cast, a top tier writer behind it, some great ideas, and a premise that’s literally to die for. Sometimes, despite all that, the film fails to find its roots and land its premises anyway. They/Them , from writer/director John Logan, is unfortunately one of those. It has everything going for it, but a few thematic, plot, and structural issues hamper what could have been an era-defining slasher. In They/Them , the feature directorial debut of John Logan (who penned a number of films, including Gladiator , The Aviator , and much more), a group of young LGBTQ folks arrive at a gay conversion camp, led by Owen Whistler (Kevin Bacon). Campers Jordan (Theo Germaine), Alexandra (Quei Tann), and more struggle through the increasingly threatening camp atmosphere, and that’s before a mysterious killer starts hacking through various camp residents. A number of the … [Read more...] about REVIEW: They/Them Has Strong Leads And Stronger Potential, But It Fails To Land

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Juliet Anammah is Jumia Group Chief Sustainability Officer and Chairwoman of Jumia Nigeria The United Nations projects that by 2050, the world population will be 9.7 billion . That is 9.7 billion people to feed, clothe, house, educate, keep safe and entertain. And all this must be done on the same planetary space that housed only 1 billion people just over 200 years ago in the year 1800. In simple terms, collectively, we need to produce almost 10 times more output on the same ‘factory’ space (the earth’s surface) and use fewer natural resources to do it than we did in 1800. Reflect on that for a moment and it’s clear that this is a gargantuan task for humanity. Think of new products, methods and technologies that will come from how we grow food to how we handle waste. As a chief sustainability officer, I believe that until a better economic model emerges in the future, investment capital will need to be deployed … [Read more...] about Bridging The Priority Divide
