    Have you ever “owned a room?” I don’t mean in terms of actual real estate, but rather in terms of mental real estate? If you have, you’ll never forget the feeling of having every eye in the room on you, people practically breathing along with you. I think that’s what they mean when they say having them “eating out of your hand.” Now, have you ever completely lost control of the room? As you look around, eyes are glazed over, people sneaking peeks at their smart phones and mobile devices or just typing on their computers (and you know they aren’t taking copious notes). Even…

    A pin, spool, square or hourglass, which are thin or squared, the high heels are a must for every woman: give the figure that not-so-that which makes it more sexy but also more feminine, highlight the body’s silhouette (not only that) and give an added value to your pace. Of course, men love them, although for those who are not accustomed to portals are a real instrument of torture. But learning to walk on “stilts” is not impossible. Here is some little trick to bring a well heel 12 shoes, while maintaining stability and sensuality. Every woman knows that takes only seconds…

Legitimate Business Accounts Getting Suspended It’s been fairly common for pure spam accounts to get suspended.  Most Twitter users applaud spam crackdowns.

    Still thinking of Groupon as a company that sends out daily deal emails all the while incurring the ire of small businesses that lose money on one-time customers? Well, think again.  That’s the old story.

Having just experienced the latter myself – although admittedly a rather mild bout according those in the know – your occasional correspondent is now back in business and eager to share some thoughts on the topic! Here in Singapore, we are currently experiencing the worst year for cases of dengue fever since 2005. The city state’s approach to risk…

  • Cities 3.0: Moving towards the next generation of cities

    8 Apr 2013 | 10:46 am
    Picture a world of bright green cities – not just in terms of being eco-friendly, but bright green as in color! My research for the May Global Trends Briefing on Securing Resources (register here to receive it when it comes out) threw up an interesting article about the world’s first algae powered building in Germany.

  • Talking trash in Brussels: Let’s not waste the waste!

    25 Mar 2013 | 1:53 am
    As a journalist I receive dozens of invitations for press conferences and public speeches every day. Of course, I can’t attend all of them, but I have been to many over the years. Somehow they all seem to sound the same – especially the speeches from the European Institutions: “The EU sets global standards for a better world.” “Europe has the toughest legislation on consumer rights, use of chemicals, or climate change – and the rest of the world would do well to follow this example.” All good intentions and maybe one day even a competitive advantage. But are things really all…

    Summer ended and left indelible marks on your skin (with tan, but also dry) as in the hair, which probably rinsed, dried on end and the tips are broken and open.
