If you're going to trust a vendor to do something risky like put a box on your network, they have an obligation to explain how they make that safe.

S&P futures are up +0.3% and pointing to higher open today. Asian markets ended Wednesday trading mostly higher, with gains seen in Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan. European equities are also higher in early trades, following a strong close on Tuesday. Risk sentiment is firm as the U.S. government appears close to reopening, with the House set to vote on a funding compromise. Softer ADP payrolls have sharpened concerns about a cooling labor market, pushing markets to price roughly a 70% chance of a December Fed rate cut. Media reports suggest policymakers remain divided, leaving the December decision finely balanced.Companies Mentioned: Blackstone, Bill Holdings, Teck Resources

Aucklanders, this is news you need to know, congestion charging is coming. A Government bill to bring it in passed its third reading in parliament, and that means it will pass into law. Congestion charging is already seen in cities like London, Singapore and New York City, and usually involves charging motorists to enter the central city at peak times. Auckland will be the first city of the ranks - then it could be rolled out in other cities. To tell us what it might look like here, Matt Lowrie from transport think tank 'Greater Auckland' joins Jesse.

S&P futures are down (0.2%) and pointing to a slightly lower open today. Asian markets delivered a mixed performance on Tuesday. AI-related tech stocks underpinned the gains in Japan and Korea, while Mainland China and Australia both saw modest losses. Tuesday's session saw Monday's rally fade amid a lack of catalysts and mixed U.S. futures. The brief lift from the U.S. government shutdown resolution gave way to familiar concerns: stretched valuations, earnings quality, uneven economic data, and trade risks. Trade was in focus after reports that Beijing is reviewing a rare-earth export framework that could limit access for companies linked to the U.S. defense sector. Despite the softer tone, Singapore and Indonesia each notched new record highs. European equity markets are higher in early trades, building on Monday's strong performance.Companies Mentioned: C3.ai, Boeing, NVIDIA

This week, I talk with Wen-Yi Lee about her adult fantasy debut When They Burned the Butterfly—a fierce, Sapphic story of rage, inheritance, and transformation set in post-colonial Singapore. She shares how her homecoming to Singapore shaped this deeply personal book, how real history and mythology intertwined to form her world of fire magic and girl gangs, and why female rage and found family remain at the heart of her storytelling. We also dive into her creative process, from “chasing the shiny thing” when writing to reimagining real-life places and histories that have since disappeared.

You'd be surprised at some of the everyday things that are banned in different parts of the world! For example, chewing gum is a big no-no in Singapore because they want to keep their streets clean. In Milan, Italy, it's actually illegal to frown in public unless you're at a funeral or visiting someone in the hospital. Australia has some strict quarantine laws, so you can't bring in fresh fruits or vegetables. Even something as common as wearing high heels is banned at certain historical sites in Greece to protect the ancient monuments! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We examine the factors shaping this boom on #NoVacancyNews, including how master franchise deals, soft brand launches, and Western brand expansion are redefining the region, while construction delays from the pandemic are now converting into a flood of new openings.

My guests often share stories from their careers of stepping into a new role which they know is going to require them to grow but is also going to allow them to leverage knowledge, skills and experience that they have developed in multiple previous positions. It's a very satisfying scenario to find ourselves in because we know that there's a good chance we will be able to bring more of what we've already got — our existing capability — to bear in this new position. It increases our opportunity to add value, perform well and experience fulfilment from doing so. I was able to draw on my own roots and background experience recently when invited to a customer event. My past roles in fleet management, leasing, retail automotive finance and mobility consulting meant that I thoroughly enjoyed being immersed in the topics of the day alongside good people. What made it extra special was that it came with a completely unexpected and highly relevant link to the work that I do now to enable Fulfilling Performance.About AndyI'm a business leader, coach, and the creator of the Fulfilling Performance framework—a simple, practical way to help leaders cut through silos, get people pulling in the same direction, and build ownership and accountability, so organisations perform better and their people thrive.Over the past 25+ years, I've led and developed businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Financial Services in the UK, Singapore, and New Zealand, and Tesla Financial Services UK. Alongside this, I've coached individuals and delivered leadership programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America.In 2016, I founded Aquilae (The Fulfilling Performance Company) to support CEOs and senior leaders in the mobility sector and beyond. Through workshops, peer mentoring, and coaching, we help reduce the unseen friction that drags on performance — and create teams where people deliver, grow, and work constructively together.I'm also the host of CAREER-VIEW MIRROR, where I share the life and career journeys of key players in the automotive and mobility world to surface insights leaders can apply in their own context.Learn more about Fulfilling PerformanceCheck out Release the Handbrake!

“We are always waiting for someone to define the direction, versus saying ‘What am I going to do?' — I've never asked what my work plan is — if there are no user manuals, how would you live your life? Sandeep Seth is Chief Growth Officer and President of Tapestry International—the parent company of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman. Before Tapestry, Sandeep spent over two decades at Procter & Gamble, where he rose through local, regional, and global marketing leadership roles across India and Singapore—eventually becoming Global CEO of SK-II, P&G's prestige skincare brand. You'll enjoy this candid conversation about the lessons behind Sandeep's remarkable journey—from being placed on a performance plan early in his career to leading some of the world's most iconic luxury and beauty brands. His turning point? Realizing that having a strong point of view—and voicing it—is just as critical as delivering great work. You'll hear about how marketing leaders blend logic and magic, why emotional resonance is the real currency of brand-building, and how true business acumen comes from connecting the dots across an organization rather than chasing every new tool. A graduate of the Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow (MBA) and Jadavpur University, Kolkata (Civil Engineering), Sandeep brings a rare mix of analytical rigor, creative instinct, and humility to his leadership philosophy. If you're thinking about stepping into a bigger role—or simply want to become a more intentional marketing leader—this episode is packed with sharp, grounded insights from someone who's lived it.This episode is hosted by P&G Alum Sudha Ranganathan, who's spent over 19 years in diverse Marketing leadership roles at companies like P&G, PayPal, and LinkedIn where she's honed her passion for customer-centric marketing and talent development.

This week on Re-engineering Tokenization, we welcome Peter Zaman, Partner at HFW Singapore, back into the SmarterMarkets™ studio.

This week, “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys sit down with Angela Mancini, Partner and Head of Global Risk Analysis at Control Risks, joins us to unpack three major developments reshaping the global risk landscape. First, the arrival of Dr. Anjani Sinha, the new U.S. Ambassador to Singapore. With a background in medicine and a mandate to deepen cooperation in technology, energy, and security, what does his appointment signal for the future of U.S.-Singapore relations? Next, the escalating impact of the U.S. government shutdown. Thousands of flights have been cancelled and delayed across 40 major airports, stranding travelers and disrupting global supply chains.

Enfield discusses his retrospective show, which promises to feature beloved characters like Loadsamoney and Stavros, as well as an up-to-date take on Prince Charles/The King, whom he played in *The Windsors*. He reflects on his career, noting that Loadsamoney is "richer than ever" today, and reveals that Kevin the Teenager remains hugely popular, even inspiring tribute acts. The comedy icon also touches on modern political humor, arguing that he aims for mischief, "not malice". He shares embarrassing moments, including a time he mentioned Nelson Mandela’s "Willie" shortly after the latter's release from prison. Enfield also reveals a personal Singapore connection: his great uncle, Major Bennett, was a doctor and a prisoner of war here.

Re-Animator (1985) was chosen by new show supporter Rhys — and what a debut pick it is. Directed by Stuart Gordon in his feature film debut, the movie became one of the defining cult horror films of the 1980s. Based loosely on H.P. Lovecraft's serialized story Herbert West–Reanimator, Gordon initially envisioned it as a stage play and later as a television series before realizing it would work best as a feature film. Shot on a modest budget of around $900,000, the production was backed by Charles Band's Empire Pictures, a studio known for embracing the stranger side of horror and science fiction. The creative team leaned into excess and black comedy, pushing the boundaries of gore and taste in a way that both shocked and delighted audiences.Filming took place over 18 days in Los Angeles, with Gordon assembling a cast of relatively unknown actors — including Jeffrey Combs, Bruce Abbott, and Barbara Crampton — who would go on to become icons of cult horror cinema. The movie's practical effects team, led by John Naulin, worked wonders with limited resources, creating gruesome yet inventive visuals that defined the film's enduring reputation. Upon release, Re-Animator was met with controversy and acclaim in equal measure, with critics alternately praising its audacity and condemning its extremity. Despite its low budget and NC-17-level violence, the film became a sleeper hit and helped launch a wave of splatter comedies that blended horror, humor, and outrageous imagination — ensuring Re-Animator a permanent place in cult movie history.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot Summary.Fun FactsThe green reagent serum used in the movie was made from fluorescent green glow stick liquid mixed with food coloring, giving it that unforgettable neon look.Director Stuart Gordon claimed he was inspired to make the film after watching Frankenstein with his wife and wondering what a modern, more extreme version would look like.Jeffrey Combs' portrayal of Herbert West became so iconic that he went on to play the character again in two sequels — Bride of Re-Animator (1989) and Beyond Re-Animator (2003).The film's most infamous scene was so shocking that it caused walkouts at its first festival screening — and immediate cult status among those who stayed.To achieve the movie's outrageous gore effects, the production used over 24 gallons of fake blood, much of it homemade from corn syrup and food dye.Barbara Crampton later revealed that she was hesitant to take on her role due to the film's extreme content, but she has since embraced its legacy in horror history.The film's composer, Richard Band, intentionally modeled the score after Bernard Herrmann's music for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) — a choice that added a darkly playful tone.The severed head effects were created using a combination of latex prosthetics and reverse photography, which gave the film's shocking visuals their uncanny realism.Re-Animator was banned or heavily censored in several countries, including Germany, Singapore, and Australia, due to its extreme violence and sexual content.The movie's success helped revive interest in H.P. Lovecraft adaptations, paving the way for later films like From Beyond (1986), The Resurrected (1991), and Dagon (2001).⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
