​The Arctic "cold war" just took a sharp turn. After only 44 hours on the ground, a 15-member German military reconnaissance team has officially departed Nuuk, Greenland. ​Here is what you need to know about this sudden withdrawal: ​📉 THE SECRET RECALL Led by Rear Admiral Stefan Pauli, the German team arrived on Friday to assess security as part of "Operation Arctic Endurance." But by Sunday morning, a "lightning order" from Berlin reportedly forced them to cancel all meetings and head for the airport immediately. No official reason was given to the troops on the ground. ​💰 THE TARIFF TRIGGER? The exit comes just 24 hours after President Trump escalated his pressure on Europe, announcing a 10% tariff on eight nations (including Germany, France, and the UK) starting February 1. The threat:

The U.S. Embassy in Singapore is looking for sponsors from American and Singaporean businesses. ​Specifically, they are seeking financial contributions and partnerships to support a year of major celebrations in 2026. 

A machine that grows a fetus. A prototype expected by 2026. Chinese scientists are developing the world's first "gestation robot," a system designed to grow a baby inside an artificial womb. Nutrients would be delivered through tubes. Estimated cost: around 100,000 yuan. The technology could help infertile couples. But it's already sparking global debate about bonding, consent, ethics, and what it means to be born. Sci-fi is knocking on reality's door. Source: The Telegraph / Kaiwa Technology

 Story of Fan Li—the ancient Chinese strategist who outsmarted kings, built fortunes three times over, and retired peacefully at 88—offers timeless lessons on survival. His "four hidden traps" that doom even the most capable people aren't just history; they mirror the cutthroat worlds of stock market investing and workplace politics. In both arenas, talent alone isn't enough—it's about knowing when to advance and when to retreat. Let's break down each trap with real-world parallels, showing how avoiding them can help you thrive without crashing.1. The Mouth That Never Stops: Loose Lips Sink Ships (and Careers/Portfolios)Fan Li warned that speaking too bluntly or showing off your smarts invites backlash. He advised humbly, framing insights as "dreams from heaven" to avoid offending his

This time, Trump is approaching with genuine seriousness. He's offering $500 billion to $700 billion to buy Greenland outright. Most people might not grasp how massive that figure is. Denmark's annual GDP is only around $400 billion or so. Trump's proposed check essentially equals 1.5 years of Denmark's entire national economic output.  On top of that, even though Greenland is vast and resource-rich, it currently requires Denmark to subsidize its budget shortfall by roughly $600–700 million every year. I can almost picture Trump, the former real estate developer, telling the Danish "landlord": "You're stuck holding this property—it's a money pit that costs you cash annually.  Why not sell it to me? I'll hand you an offer you can't refuse in straight cash. We both come out ahead.

Trump announces that starting February 1, 2026, all goods exported from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Finland to the United States will be subject to a 10% tariff, which will rise to 25% on June 1, and remain in place until Greenland is fully acquired. Trump explained that the move was prompted by recent deployments of these countries’ military forces to Greenland with unclear intentions. Therefore, to safeguard global peace and security, the U.S. must take strong and immediate action. He emphasized that for many years, the U.S. has given European nations economic and security benefits. Now it's time for them to reciprocate. Denmark lacks the ability to defend Greenland, and the potential threats from China and Russia justify U.S. interv

 Is there anything more exhausting than managing "The Untouchable Employee"? My boss  handed me his favourite employee to manage, saying she’ll be helping me with my workload.  ​You know the one. 20+ years of experience, a toxic temper, and a direct line to the big bosses that makes her feel invincible. ​I’ve been trying to lead this "expert" with total respect for 3 months. I gave her space, I didn't micro-manage, and I spent my days being the "cushion" between her and the team she yells at. ​But let’s talk about the reality of "expertise" : ❌ The Manual Trap: She claims to be "so busy," but it’s because she refuses to automate manual data entry. She doesn't know how to use power automate, power BI, Microsoft Lists etc. But she remembers things with almost superhuman accura

Bloomberg post today on OpenAI's push to robotics.[Miser]  [Miser]   This is an asymmetrical long on the scale-up of robotics Tesla Optimus builds on Sanhua & Tuopu (suppliers for actuators), which uses Stratasys. Basically: They've solved the robotics bottleneck by creating lightweight frames that replace heavy metal and Boston Dynamics and other Robotics build their frames on. So at the bottom of the robotics supply chain is $Stratasys(SSYS)$   where the former robotics metal frames ->plastic. Eg (structural limbs of Atlas). As robotics scales up -> so does their revenue. Extremely low downside risk with $255.0 Million in cash, no debt. FY 2025 Revenue: Guided at $550M – $560M: 45.3% gross margins (very hi
