Opening new frontiers in information technology and pioneering the future of innovation. That is what we are going to talk about today with our guest from a leading technology services firm in Asia Pacific.  Founded in 1981, NCS is a subsidiary of Singtel Group that provides what it calls differentiated and end-to-end services to clients with its capabilities in core areas such as application, infrastructure, engineering and cybersecurity. The firm partners with governments and enterprises across industries such as hospitality, manufacturing, logistics and even healthcare to advance communities through technology.  Such technologies include the Breeze app, which utilises computer vision and artificial intelligence to help users get around local neighbourhoods such as Tiong Bahru more easily. Why are we speaking to NCS you might ask? Well, we're speaking to NCS because the firm is currently doubling down on innovation in emerging areas such as digital, data, cloud and platform through its digital services arm NEXT.  That's after the company had in July 2021 announced a major business transformation to reposition it for growth in the 5G era.  The strategic reset then focused on growing digital services, scaling its government and telco business segment and capturing new growth opportunities in the enterprise sector across key regional markets of Singapore, Australia and Greater China.  But what has been done thus far and how important is NCS NEXT to the firm alongside its other strategic business groups? And what will the rapid adoption of generative AI mean for the firm as it looks to the second half of the decade?  On Under the Radar, Money Matters' finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Wynthia Goh, Senior Partner, NCS NEXT.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Jeffrey Funk offers a balanced perspective on AI hype, discussing the importance of understanding processes, evaluating technological progress, and critically assessing market signals. He emphasizes the need to look beyond superficial claims, like the idea that AI will replace 95 percent of marketers' workload. He also highlights potential pitfalls in AI adoption, and provides insights on avoiding investment bubbles in the tech industry. Jeffrey's recommended book is Emmanuel Maggiori's Siliconned: How the tech industry solves fake problems, hoards idle workers, and makes doomed bets with other people's money: https://www.amazon.com/Siliconned-industry-problems-workers-peoples-ebook/dp/B0D7MRG775 He doesn't drink coffee, but likes to meet people at Tiong Bahru bakery near his home in Singapore: https://www.tiongbahrubakery.com/ Connect with Dr. Jeffrey Funk on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jeffrey-funk-a979435 If you have any questions about brands and marketing, connect with the host of this channel, Itir Eraslan, on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/itireraslan/

Today we're going to talk about a company that you would have come in contact with on a day to day basis. Make a guess – this is a company that started as a bakery brand making pork floss buns.  Bingo if you've guessed Breadtalk. Founded in 2000, Breadtalk Group is now an F&B group with multiple concepts ranging from bakeries, restaurants  and even food atriums.  With close to 700 retail stores spread across 16 markets in Asia, the Middle East and the  United Kingdom, the company's portfolio comprises direct owned brands such as BreadTalk, ToastBox, Food Republic, So Ramen and Thye Moh Chan.  The company also counts Din Tai Fung, Song Fa Bak Kut Teh and Wu Pao Chun Bakery as its partner brands. But why are we talking about a brand that most of us would know of? Well, the past four or five years have been full of changes for BreadTalk.  In 2019, the Group bought over food court operator Food Junction in a deal worth S$80 million to obtain additional revenue streams.   And in 2020, the firm's founder George Quek offered to take the then SGX-listed firm private. It was also that year that the firm cut salaries temporarily amid the COVID-19 pandemic.  A year later, a consortium led by mainboard-listed Lian Beng Group bought over BreadTalk's IHQ Building in Tai Seng in a S$118 million sale and leaseback deal. Meanwhile, the firm also came up with new concepts like Tau Sar Piah brand Thye Moh Chan and First Street Teochew Fish Soup. It even unveiled a Toast Box Coffee House in Tiong Bahru last year. It seems like there are many moving parts for the firm all happening within the past few years. But what were the reasons behind each of the moves, and how did the firm take the time to reconfigure its business and develop new revenue streams for the future? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Hoo Hoe Keat, Chief Business Officer, BreadTalk Group.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An independent bookshop like Books Actually was easy to spot in Singapore's artsy neighbourhood Tiong Bahru. Away from the interconnecting malls, the entrance was marked with pots of wabi-sabi and painted with books growing on trees. Now operating exclusively online, Books Actually houses the largest collection of English literature in Singapore , with many local gems and rarities. The bookstore has its own printing press and its own line of handmade writing papers and utensils. The owner of the 16-year old bookshop and our guest today is Kenny Leck. Kenny dropped out of an accountancy and taxation diploma course in a local polytechnic just two semesters before graduation and soon after, he co-founded BooksActually. He is a businessman who took it upon himself to give all writers a “good debut”. He also sponsors books for community reading programmes for children from low-income families as well as a shelter for transgender people. We're very honoured to have Kenny with us today at Got Books? and be inspired. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gotbooks/message

Shoutouts, thank yous, and love to Dawn and James of Wolfe Farms for mentioning us and to Heather Ordover of Craftlit for playing our promo! Catching Up (1:20) Laura and her husband celebrated their twelfth wedding anniversary. She has also been having woes surrounding cable and internet service. She’s channeled her woes into her dying for a new LYS that will be carrying her yarn and for the Mean Girls Yarn Club and for her Lambie Toes yarn. Speaking of which, the Mean Girls Yarn Club will be hosting a Wank-A-Long (Knit-a-long, Crochet-a-long, or a Weave-a-long), running from July 1 to August 31. There will be prizes. Here is a Ravelry thread for more information. JoniLvs Neddy has won our milestone prize (for hitting 100 members in our Ravelry Group). Jen saw Monsters University, which has a surprising amount of knitwear in it. She saw some great theatre at the Young Playwrights Festival, produced by the Blank Theatre, which has Noah Wyle (a.k.a. President Doctor Carter) as artistic producer. Jen has been cooking and has some recipes on her blog. Laura and Jen also attended a fantastic knitting party. Laura did the party favors (which were yarn), and experimented with dying different bases. In the Knitting Bag (13:10) Laura is working on her Mother Bear inspired by Wash from Firefly for Nerd Wars. Next up is a Kaylee inspired one, but she’s waiting for yarn. Jen is still working on her Madroña Shawl out of Prism Delicato. Tempest Cardigan, started after July 1st (These show notes weren’t even done until July 2nd) She is starting (at midnight July 1) her Tempest Cardigan for Camp Loopy. The yarn for that is Dream in Color Smooshy in the colors Charged Cherry (maroon/red) and Rosalita (pink). She’s also working on Vanilla Socks in Opal Sock Yarn in the colorway Flamingo (pinks, whites, and maroon). They also mention the colorways of Opal inspired by van Gogh. We mention the Great American Afghan, Great North American Afghan, and Great American Aran Afghan books Finished Objects (19:27) Lacy cap. Laura finished her Lacy Cap by Carissa Browning in Rowan Cashsoft 4-ply. Fit for a big damn hero. Hold me close, oh tiny lantern Is that James Baxter? (Gratuitous Adventure Time reference) She also finished a Jayne Hat, a Mini Chinese Lantern by Carolyn Lightowler, and a horse blanket square adapted from Amy Lynn Mitchell’s Giddyup pattern. It took all the pins to block this! But it’s worth it to get this! Jen finished her Tiong Bahru by Asa Tricosa for Camp Loopy. The yarn is Fleece Artist Saldanha Two in the Vermillion colorway. Blocking was painful, but worth it. Devil’s Tower (22:54) Laura has set aside her Sassy-tis (Clapotis) to work on Nerd Wars projects. Jen is putting the Madroña on hold to knit her Tempest. On Deck (24:13) Laura will be knitting the Tennessee Twister Cowl by Daniela Richardson for the Mean Girls Yarn Club WAL. She will be using the color way “Hoar’s Yer” Buddy, inspired by Syndrome from The Incredibles. Its for her Sister-in-law, who is a Denver Broncos fan. Jen will also be doing the WAL, but she has yet to pick a yarn or a pattern. There will be a project for Camp Loopy month 3, but she’s not sure what the challenge will be. She will also be doing the Unique Sheep Watership Down Mystery Knitalong. Her yarn is their Selene Superwash Lace in the Nature Walk gradience colorway. We talk about reading Stephen King books as children. Knit Culture (28:45) Laura and Jen discuss the ergonomics of knitting and crocheting and point out some Wrist Exercises for Knitters and Crocheters that are really good. Stretching lets you keep knitting until you’re old. Use the commercial breaks in television as stretch breaks from knitting. Or set a timer. Laura and Jen both fell down and bought too much sale yarn. Jen bought a lot of Lopi Wool (enough to make two Icelandic sweaters–the Iðunn and the Top Down Icelandic Sweater Craftsy Class Sweater, both by Ragga Eiríksdóttir). Laura bought 20 skeins of brown chunky Cascade yarn to remake the Browncoat (that she may no longer be making), some Brown Sheep yarn in the Jayne Hat colors, and some pink Lion Brand. Laura also fell down at Knitpicks, where she got yarn to make her Mother Bears. Jen recommends combining online orders with a friend to get to the free shipping dollar amounts when ordering online. Geek Culture (36:20) We answer a question from tygherknits about our gaming habits. Tygherknits asks: Do either of you play video games? Tabletop games? Maybe even D&D? Laura used to play table top games (including D&D). She doesn’t play anymore, because most of her gamer friends have moved away. But those multi-sided dice are really useful for knitting. Jen does not play tabletop RPGs, but she does play video games. She doesn’t like MMORPGs. She loves games like Skyrim, Final Fantasy, and Bioshock. She also likes a lot of DS Games. She struggles with time to play. Laura points out Catlore’s awesome etsy shop with geeky fandom buttons. Events (46:08) We will both be at Stitch N’ Pitch on July 26th at Dodger Stadium. Come say hi and get swag! KnitDizzney will be Sunday, September 8th, 2013 at Disneyland. More details to come, but we’d love to spend a day at the Disneyland park with you! We will have t-shirts for preorder and possibly a custom yarn color! Mean Girls Yarn Club signups will open in August.

This episode is sponsored by Dizzy Blonde Studios. “For beautifully hand-dyed yarns and inspired knit design.” Shoutouts to Knit 1 Geek 2 Podcast and The Hollywood Knitter Podcast for playing our promo. Catching Up (1:24) Jen traveled and it was too hot to knit. She also got some new yarn from the Unique Sheep Gourmet Club and Cookie A’s Sock Club. The patterns in this month’s Cookie A Club are inspired by Star Trek, one of the cookie recipes is reminiscent of Doctor Who, and the yarn is from Sweet Georgia. Laura had family visiting. She also worked on prepping for our World Wide Knit in Public Day Event. She has also been dying a lot because her yarn is in a new shop, KnitKabob, in Union Oregon. Slimy, yet satisfying The newest Mean Girls Yarn Club shipment went out. In the Knitting Bag (7:45) Lacy Cap. Laura is working on the Lacy Cap by Carissa Browning in Rowan Cashsoft 4-ply in a lavender colorway for someone with trichotillomania. It’s pretty spectacular. Jen started her Camp Loopy Project. She’s knitting the Tiong Bahru out of Fleece Artist Saldanha Two yarn. She continues to work on her Madroña Shawl. Finished Objects(11:38) This is a very serious scarf. Laura finished a Yarn Over Cross Scarf for Interval House in Brown Sheep Company Lanaloft Worsted. A finished shawl! In spite of procrastination. Jen finished her scarf for Interval House as well. She also finished her Romi Hill Mysterious Shawl Knit-a-long. Jen mentions the Knitmore Girls. Devil’s Tower (15:19) Laura is struggling with her Nerd Wars projects. She is struggling with time to work on stuff. Creative planning is why this isn’t yet done. She also is intentionally not knitting on a Jayne Hat Hat of Controversy so she can use it in WIP challenge. Jen still isn’t working on her baby sweater. Frog Pond (22:05) Jen had problems counting while working on her Tiong Bahru. On Deck (23:43) Laura is struggling with her Sabre Project so she’s changed her dissertation project. She’s now working on six bears for the Mother Bear Project (something that Dr. Gemma talks a lot about on CogKNITive). They will be Firefly themed, to go with the “Jayne Cubb” she made for last year’s CogKNITive Fiber Retreat KAL. Jen is going to make a Tempest Cardigan for her July Camp Loopy Project out of Dream in Color Smooshy. She also wants to work on a giant afghan using all the squares from the Great American Afghan, Great North American Afghan, and Great American Aran Afghan books. She’ll be knitting it out of Cascade 220. Knotty Talk (33:10) We answer a question about summer knitting projects from Spiritsmith. Both like socks because they are small and portable and not too hot. Laura mentions the Lady Clementine Socks. Laura also likes hats such as the Nine Dwindling Cables Beret. Jen likes lace because it’s not too heavy. She mentions designers Caitlin ffrench and the Mizzle Shawl. For crochet, Laura likes tawashis. They also recommend some more difficult designers for people who are off school or work and have time for something complicated: Sivia Harding, Romi Hill, Steven West, and Jared Flood. WWKIP (37:50) We talk about our WWKIP event and play some interviews. We loved meeting everyone and were so glad you all came. Thank you to everyone who brought scarves for Interval House. We hold our prize drawing and the winner is Cre8vleigh! She wins a skein of Dizzy Blonde Yarn! Speaking of prizes, we will do a prize drawing for members of our Ravelry group, once the group reaches 100 members. Geek Culture (52:04) There is a tutorial for making your own lightsaber knitting needles. Jen is fascinated by Black Pearl yarn. TV Talk (53:56) We talk about Warehouse 13 and Falling Skies. We also mention the shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Rome, Dexter, ER, and Lost. Jen mentions the Craftlit Podcast. You can come back at 1:04:05 if you don’t want to be spoiled for Falling Skies. Events (1:04:05) Mean Girls Yarn Club signups will open soon! Check the webpage for details. KnitDizzney will be Sunday, September 8th, 2013 at Disneyland. More details to come, but we’d love to spend a day at the Disneyland park with you! We will have t-shirts for preorder and possibly a custom yarn color!
