London / TickerInsider / August 15, 2021 / London Hard Fork contains EIP-1559 which will change the Gas fee structure of the Ether mainnet and introduce a destruction mechanism for the ETH token model, while EIP-3529 will directly affect the Gas Token failure on Ether after the upgrade. ETH London Fork Shanghai Hard Fork may realize the merging of ETH1/ETH2 and completely change the consensus mechanism of the Ethernet mainnet, while the token supply issuance model of ETH has also changed. For this London Hard Fork, some of the EIPs involved may have a high threshold of understanding for new users, so before going deeper into each EIP, let’s briefly outline the possible impacts of this upgrade. EIP-1559 can make the future Ether Gas handling fee more predictable and stable, while nearly half of the network handling fee in the future Ether network may be directly destroyed. Although the current market is relatively low, the destruction of ETH has a profound impact on the long-term value support of ETH in the future, especially in the future after the transition of Ether to PoS, under the premise of the prosperity of the Ether ecology, the network In particular, after the transition o...

SINGAPORE - The postman will soon be bringing your mail on electric vehicles. Singapore Post announced on Monday (Aug 16) that it will replace all of its lighter vehicles with electric ones by 2026. For a start, it has begun pilots of two electric scooters and two vans. The Iona RAP three-wheeler scooter is being considered in the pilot to replace the company's 700 motorcycles and scooters that run on internal combustion engines. The BYD T3 electric vans, if successful, are also expected to gradually phase out SingPost's 140 petrol vans as their certificates of entitlement expire in the next five years. SingPost's target is to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 35 per cent by 2030.

SINGAPORE - To navigate an increasingly complex and competitive world, Singapore students have to pursue more diverse interests and capabilities, beyond what is taught and tested in schools. How far the Republic can move in this direction and away from an overemphasis on academic grades depends on educators, parents and societal culture at large, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing on Monday (Aug 16). Highlighting diversity as key to alleviating the "unhealthy stress" of pursuing the same definition of success, he spoke of the need for diverse schools, education pathways, skills, perspectives and experiences. Mr Chan also highlighted the need for a diversity of schools with unique propositions to cater to different students. He noted that seven out of 10 students in a Primary 1 cohort progress to the polytechnics and Institute of Technical Education, and Second Minister for Education Maliki Osman is leading a review to ensure their education and training enable them to remain competitive in the job market.

HONG KONG, Aug 16, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 随着个别新零售企业因过度扩张而产生资金流动性问题后，投资者当下在押宝于快速扩张的新零售企业时，也更细心了解企业发展的平衡点。对此，国美零售 (0493) 的在线线下双平台模式值得关注。对于强调在线电商平台发展的新零售企业，亮点往往在于月活跃用户数量 (Monthly Active User, MAU) 之用户流量数据的巨幅增长，但同时不得不注意的是烧钱的速度可能同样快速，甚至有过之而无不及。因此，自国美的控股股东再出江湖以来，提出对在线线下双平台营运模式发展的重视，引起了市场巨大的回响。打造在线线下新零售模式国美新零售的核心价值建基于其34年以来构建的完善供应链、物流、线下门店体系，通过大规模集中式采购降低成本、广泛的全国物流网络形成「闪送速达」、不断优化的线下实体店网络加速引流、前置仓布局，打造出国美的在线线下双平台的新零售特色和优势。通过在线引流、赋能线下的同时，也利用线下的实体品宣和导购体验，加强引流能力，并持续拓展符合线下场景的产品组合。国美的「家‧生活」战略第二阶段正稳步推进，线上线下双平台本地零售生态圈逐渐清晰。未来，国美线下全场景展示平台的打造，需要在北京及长沙等重点城市树立桥头堡，打造地标式的「城市展厅」。大股东变相注资逾二百亿早前，国美公布计划向国美管理以发行新股的支付形式，锁定最长达19年的三个位于城市黄金地段的大型物业 (即国美商都、湘江玖号及鹏润大厦) 租赁期，也正体现出集团在新零售的长期部署决心。同时，通过溢价股份的发行来支付租赁费用，对于国美及股东而言，实在是利大于弊。首先，大股东愿意以溢价股份来作租金抵销，如同巨额注资，充份显示出其对国美未来发展的巨大信心。未来19年，大股东原本可以通过三座位于黄金地段的大型物业，取得约178.7亿元人民币 (折合约214.6亿港元) 的租金，但刻下却自动放弃，反而押注在国美的未来。换言之，在大股东的眼中，未来19年的国美才是一个大型金矿。今次配股能优化资本结构如大家不善忘，医思健康 (2138，前称医思医疗) 于2020年4月29日以每股作价4.20元，向一位大业主配售股份，所得资金作为物业的租金。于配售完成后，加上良好的业务数据发布，医思健康股价大幅上升，至今年7月9日高见16.26元，仅约十四个月股价较配股价高逾2.87倍。当日配售的股份总值不足3,400万元，但最终为大业主带来超过9,700万元的增值效益。按此考虑，配合上述国美具备多项良好基本条件，股价年内或可再次翻倍，甚至大升三倍也不足奇。此外，国美通过此次发行新股，可大大增加集团的资产净值，令负债率显著回落之余，未来19年集团更不用支付折合逾200亿港元的租金，长期优化经营现金流，并有效地减低了扩张的风险，对股东也是极大的保障。...

UK home asking prices slip for first time this year: Rightmove

LONDON (REUTERS) - Asking prices for houses in Britain slipped over the past month for the first time this year, as the partial removal of a temporary cut to property purchase taxes took the edge off demand for larger homes, a survey showed on Monday. Real estate website Rightmove said asking prices fell by 0.3 per cent in its August survey after a 0.7 per cent increase in July, dragged down by "upper end" houses of four bedrooms or more, which saw asking prices fall by 0.8 per cent in July. The August survey covered property first advertised on Rightmove between July 11 and Aug 7. The readings chimed with a report from the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors last week, which also suggested the reversal of property purchase tax cuts had started to affect an otherwise strong market. Finance minister Rishi Sunak cut stamp duty, a tax on house purchases, in July 2020. But from last month it started to return to its pre-pandemic level. The tax cut aimed to reverse a slump in property sales at the start of the pandemic, and helped fuel a surge in property prices and some new construction. Many households were already seeking more spacious housing suited to working from home. "Our a...

WELLINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - New Zealand is set to raise interest rates this week, the first advanced economy in the Asia-Pacific to begin normalising policy, as a powerful recovery unhindered by Covid-19 Delta outbreaks shows signs of overheating. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) will lift the official cash rate by a quarter percentage point to 0.5 per cent at its review Wednesday in Wellington, according to 13 of 17 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. One economist predicts a half-point increase and three see no change. Markets also expect a hike as concerns mount that labour shortages will unleash wage-push inflation. "It is clear the New Zealand economy no longer requires extreme monetary stimulus," said ANZ Bank New Zealand chief economist Sharon Zollner. "Signs of overheating are evident across the board, and the risks of a boom-bust cycle are high and rising." Governor Adrian Orr unexpectedly ended quantitative easing last month, a sign that the RBNZ was already concerned about the potential for overheating from its stimulus settings. Since then, unemployment has tumbled to 4 per cent and private wage gains have surged to a 13-year high. New Zealand is set to be first to move ...

LONDON (REUTERS) - British employers plan to increase staff numbers by the most in more than eight years over the coming months and few intend to make staff redundant when government furlough support ends next month, a survey showed on Monday. The quarterly survey by Britain's Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) added to signs of labour market shortages as the economy emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, though it offered less evidence of wage or inflation pressures. The CIPD said the net employment intentions balance - the difference in percentage points between employers who are hiring and those cutting staff - rose to +32 from +27 three months earlier, its highest since the survey began in early 2013.
