In a new report https://bit.ly/32RVNq2 on cyber threat to sports organisations, the NCSC highlighted a case where the emails of a Premier League team's managing director were hacked before transfer talks, resulting in the 1 million pounds (US$1.27 million) fee nearly falling into the hands of the hackers.

REUTERS: Targeting higher inflation, as the Federal Reserve suggested it would do in a revamp of its monetary policy strategy on Thursday, could end up slowing growth instead of boosting it unless the U.S. central bank's message to households and businesses is carefully crafted and conveyed. That's the conclusion of research presented on Friday at a conference attended virtually by global central bankers, including Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his fellow policymakers at the U.S. central bank. On Thursday, the 17 Fed policymakers signed on to a strategy of aiming for slightly too-high inflation to offset what has been a persistent undershoot on their 2per cent inflation goal. "A 'verbal' intervention aimed to stimulate the economy by raising inflation expectations and thus lowering real interest rates can backfire if unintentional income effects overwhelm the desired intertemporal substitution effects," University of California, Berkeley, professor Yuriy Gorodnichenko and his … [Read more...] about Fed’s targeting of higher inflation could backfire, paper suggests

Luzanne Chong and her husband Chris have two reasons for falling in love with their new 1,100 sq foot, three-bedroom condominium apartment: The convenient location in Tampines, and the unblocked view of the greenery from the sixth floor. Ironically, for them to truly feel at home, they needed the space to remind them of their holidays, or more specifically, the high-end hotels they had stayed in, such as Bangkok’s Marriott Marquis, the Intercontinental Singapore at Bugis, and the Ritz-Carlton Millennia Singapore. The first things that Luzanne and Chris turned their attention to were the apartment’s bare walls. “When you enter a hotel room, you do not see white or painted walls,” said Luzanne, who works as the head of customer experience at an insurance firm. “So we covered the entire apartment’s walls with wallpaper,” she said, revealing that she sourced the wallpaper from Retro Dec.

What does a family that really loves to watch films do to bring the cinematic experience closer to home? Make sure they can have that experience without ever stepping outside, of course. That’s what movie buffs Amos and Amanda did in their 990 sq ft BTO HDB flat at St George Towers in Bendemeer, where they live with their two children, Don and Dawn. The couple, who both work as management executives, were keen to bring family film-watching to the next level – which was an added bonus given all the advantages they already had. “We love the quiet surroundings, breathtaking views, central location, and the fact that it’s near to my wife’s parents’ home,” said Amos. Their plans to create a bit of movie magic was so important to the couple that they saved up for it from the very beginning of their plans to buy and renovate their home. They skipped having a wedding dinner when they got married, then lived rent-free with their parents and siblings in the early years of marriage … [Read more...] about How a family of film buffs set up a mini-movie theatre inside a 990 sq ft BTO flat
