Better communications, enhanced transport links, integration agreements between governments, and other factors have all helped increase global economic interconnectedness over the past few decades. This column compares a state-of-the-art gravity model for trade versus migration to reveal that there are in fact important differences in the evolution of globalisation over time on flows of goods versus people. For trade, the boost from free trade agreements declines the farther apart signatories are, but for migration the boost increases with distance between signatories. Further, while both border and distance frictions have declined for trade over time, this is not the case ...
India only introduced credit scoring technology in 2007. This column studies its adoption by the two main types of banks in the country: new private banks and state-owned public sector banks. While both types of banks check nearly all scores for new borrowers, public sector banks are very slow to adopt scoring for their prior relationship borrowers even though scores are reliable predictors of delinquency. Government ownership does not explain this slow adoption, as older privatebanks also exhibit similar adoption patterns. The findings suggest that practices from the past, when adapted to different regulatory and economic environments, are slow to change ...
At the end of 2019 the European Systemic Risk Board General Board mandated a Task Force on Low Interest Rates to revisit the ESRB’s 2016 report on “Macroprudential policy issues arising from low interest rates and structural changes in the EU financial system”, assess subsequent developments, compare these to the risks identified in the report, and assess whether new sources of systemic risk have emerged. Furthermore, the Task Force was mandated to review progress in relation to the policy proposals in the earlier report, as well as propose possible new policy actions aimed at mitigating potential systemic risks. As ...
Célestine Galli-Marié (1837–1905) was a French mezzo-soprano who is most famous for creating the title role in the opera Carmen by Georges Bizet. It was said that, during the opera's 33rd performance on 2 June 1875, Galli-Marié had a premonition of Bizet's death while singing in the third act, and fainted when she left the stage; the composer in fact died that night and the next performance was cancelled due to her indisposition. This photograph by Nadar depicts Galli-Marié as the titular character in Carmen.

Recently, he held a remix competition via Label Radar offering the winner an official release on Atlantic Records along with $7,000 worth of studio gear and plugins. Over 3500 producers submitted tracks and one came out on top: Canadian award-nominated music producer and guitar player, Sparkee.

Designed as an entry for a competition organized by Cryptomotors, the luxury sci-fi vehicle is basically what you get when you design an RV for another planet. The proportions of the vehicle may confuse you, but it’s actually a rather massive automobile with wheels that are easily 7-feet in diameter. The purpose of the vehicle was to serve as a purpose-driven luxury habitat on wheels. Spacious enough to host 2 people, it’s almost like a living space and laboratory on wheels… with a design that oozes futurism.
The Cryptomotors sci-fi vehicle (let’s just call it an extraterrestrial RV) comes ...

Ben Affleck is no stranger to a high-profile romance — but not all of them have ended happily ever after.
Over the years, the Justice League actor has proven that he can still be on good terms with an ex despite breaking up. In his New York Times profile from February 2020, he showed his support for ex-fiancée Jennifer Lopez after her 2020 Academy Awards snub for her work in Hustlers.
“She should have been nominated. She’s the real thing. I keep in touch periodically with her and have a lot of respect for her,” he told the ...
Love don’t cost a thing! Jennifer Lopez has famously been involved in several high-profile romances — and many of them didn’t result in a happily ever after. The Shades of Blue actress has been married three times and, in between, dated some of Hollywood’s biggest names, including Ben Affleck.
The Second Act star kept it real about her quest to find everlasting love while speaking with Harper’s Bazaarin January 2019. “For me, the relationship journey has been very up and down. But it didn’t have to do with anybody else but me — it was about me ...
The husband of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says being an ally "isn't just slapping a rainbow sticker on your backpack or your water bottle."
The word “Bennifer” might include flashbacks to frosted lip gloss and butterfly clips, but everything comes back in style eventually. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez are spending time together, nearly 20 years after their romance took the world by storm.
Affleck has reportedly been getting picked up in a white SUV that takes him to Lopez’s Los Angeles home. It’s easy to understand why they’d keep their hangouts on the down-low when remembering their high-profile romance.
The pair first connected in 2002 on the set of the ill-fated Gigli. The two played gangsters who fall in love ...

Elsewhere, Excision, Tiësto, Kaskade, and more will grace the main stage for some truly explosive energy.

Chandeliers, unlike lamps, serve an important dual purpose. Their job isn’t just to fill a room with light, it’s to form a mesmeric illuminated art-piece often located in the center of a hall for people to admire. The Core chandelier by Hsin Lee does it pretty well, with a design inspired by the appearance and the ‘maturing’ of a pine cone. Multiple copper leaves on the Core chandelier are connected to a central mechanism that gets the chandelier to open up, filling the room with soft beams of light that dance around as the Core opens and shuts. The ...

A couple of weeks ago, I came across a Malaysian business, Safe Food Corporation (Safe Food), claiming to be the first to produce and sell pasteurised eggs locally. It made me wonder, “Aren’t all eggs in grocery stores pasteurised already?”
“Nope. Check their labels,” they replied. Upon a quick Google search, their statement holds true. Most grocery stores here actually sell sanitised eggs, not pasteurised ones. And that can make a whole lot of difference.

Sanitised eggs are treated with UV lights to kill bacteria or viruses that may be present on the surface ...

The pandemic lockdowns last year prompted a lot of people to seek ways to keep themselves sane while in the confines of their own homes. With malls closed or operating at limited hours in the early days of quarantine, people relied on their mobile phones and electronic gadgets when it came to not only purchasing essentials but also getting stuff they wanted.
As people learn to live safely with the continuing restrictions, they continued browsing merchandise offers in varied shopping applications. The variety of products available online is wider than those found in malls and stores, and can be ...
To conclude, let us go back this week where we left off two months ago in fact-checking the 2020 independent investigative film, “Plandemic: Indoctornation.” Most media outlets labelled the film content as a “conspiracy theory,” which supposedly promotes misinformation particularly of the Covid-19 pandemic. What falls flat in the claim of “conspiracy theory” and “misinformation” is the mysterious and the impeccable timing of the Oct. 18, 2019 scripted simulation in Event 201, which described closely the Covid-19 pandemic that erupted in China in December 2019 three months later.
Event 201 was a project of the Johns Hopkins Center for ...
By June in years past, the street where I live would be filled with young people rushing to school just a few meters from where I live. They became my alarm clock because between 6:30 and 7 a.m., the youngsters would pass by the house with all their chatter and laughter.
Not anymore. Changes in the school system have silenced the street and the school.
I look at my desk calendar, an old system for an old girl who has not changed some of her habits such as having a real calendar ...
Lim Kok Wing (Lim), founder and president of Limkokwing University of Creative Technology has passed away at age 75.
A statement was published by the university about his passing, but no further details were provided. Prior to this, it was reported that Lim was in a stable condition after being in a hospitalised due to a fall.
In light of Lim’s passing, we’d like to offer our condolences to his loved ones and also celebrate his achievements throughout his life as a creative, entrepreneur, artist, and educator.
Other changes include barring sex abuse of adults by laypeople who are church officials and removing much of say bishops and others have in handling of sex cases.
Two decades ago, when I was in the private sector,” Koonin writes, “I learned to say that the goal of stabilizing human influences on the climate was ‘a challenge,’ while in government it was talked about as ‘an opportunity.’ Now back in academia, I can forthrightly call it ‘a practical impossibility.’”
It’s not an understatement to say that Singapore is a nation of foodies. We love our fast food and many might not know this, but Ordinary Burgers is a homegrown burger joint that aims to serve “premium gourmet burgers at an honest price.”
Co-creators of the brand — How Wei Shen, 29, and Adrian Ang, 38 — previously felt that gourmet burgers weren’t readily available in the suburban areas.
“We felt that there wasn’t a clear category leader in the premium burger segment within the suburban areas and hence, we saw the opportunity to enter this segment,” said Wei ...

As a 76 year old feminist who lives alone (except for animals) I have been struck by some recent experiences I have had with kind men, men that I would call “Mothers’ sons”. Overall, throughout my life I have had negative experiences with males beginning, of course, with my own father, which is why I eventually made the choice about 30 years ago to live alone.
These Mothers’ sons seem to have little or no interest in power or control but appear to live by another code, one that is not predicated on domination. As this prose poem indicates ...
There is a certain beauty in remembering the great influences of one’s youth. For me, one of those influences was Robert Anson Heinlein who could reasonably be called one of the the world’s greatest writers of science fiction.
The Swatch Space Collection, launching on Thursday (June 3), features wristwatches inspired by NASA's iconic spacesuits. Three of the five watches take their BioCeramic hues from the white, orange and blue garments worn by astronauts both on the ground and in space. The two other timepieces evoke the space race of the 1960s and a popular song from the era.

João Teixeira shared another clever and well-crafted industrial design project. As the global pandemic still takes place almost everywhere, there's a lot of habits we've created to deal with this issue. One of these habits is related to how often we take our shoes and leave them at the entrance before walking around the house.
Designed for Tomorrow Furniture, Keeper combines a shoe rack with a bench. The soft seat has rounded corners to seamlessly attach to the recessed top leaving just the right amount of space to work as a side ...
Steven Seagal is emerging as a clear favourite for most woke Hollywood climate celebrity ever, after joining a Russian pro-Putin left wing environmental activist party, whose leaders include ultra-nationalist Russian paramilitary Zakhar Prilepin. Earlier this month, Seagal while acting as Russia's representative presented a Samurai sword to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
In today’s culture of texting, social media, and the like, there is an expectation that we be constantly available and constantly productive. We need to be able to come up with a witty retort or a complete opinion in an … Read More...
Since the Global Crisis, the size of central bank balance sheets has grown significantly. Traditional goals of price and financial stability are insufficient for assessing the success of modern central banking operations. This column introduces a new framework for categorising and understanding central bank balance sheet operations. Monetary policy decisions are separated from facilities for lender of last resort, market maker of last resort, providing selective credit, and ensuring emergency government financing. To maintain legitimacy and accountability, central banks should formally distinguish these operations by clearly setting out their purposes, objectives, and constraints.
As COVID-19 vaccination programmes accelerate across the industrialised world, vaccination hesitancy is rapidly emerging as a key challenge. This column explores the relationship between pre-pandemic intensive care unit capacity and attitudes towards the COVID-19 vaccine in the UK. Despite widespread pre-pandemic scepticism about vaccines in general, willingness to become vaccinated against COVID-19 overall was strikingly high, even amongst those who rejected vaccines before the pandemic. The results point to a surprising synergy: where the emergency care systems of public healthcare providers were less strained during the early days of the COVID-19 epidemic, vaccination hesitancy is systematically less today.
Map showing territory ceded by Carthage under the treaty in pink
The Treaty of Lutatius was the agreement of 241 BC between Carthage and Rome which ended the First Punic War after 23 years. The Romans had defeated a Carthaginian fleet attempting to lift the blockade of its last strongholds on Sicily. Accepting defeat, the Carthaginian Senate ordered the local commander to negotiate a peace treaty. One was rapidly agreed, but when referred to Rome for ratification, it was rejected. Rome then sent a commission which agreed that Carthage would cede what it held of Sicily, relinquish ...
This historical depiction of the coat of arms of Kentucky was illustrated by the American engraver Henry Mitchell in State Arms of the Union, published in 1876 by Louis Prang. The design depicts two men embracing, with the motto "United we stand, divided we fall". The original Kentucky state seal, adopted in 1792 and designed in 1793, was lost in a fire that destroyed the state capitol in 1814. Because the description originally adopted by the General Assembly did not specify how the "two friends" should look or how they should be embracing, several ...
