I applaud the Health Promotion Board (HPB) for offering many free group exercise activities via the Healthy 365 app. My friends and I have benefited by being fitter and healthier from the weekly sessions.
Excessive production of anything is a recipe for trouble and there is a danger that it’s going to happen with one of the most valuable components that power countless everyday devices: semiconductors.

But no sooner had I started to turn scarlet and to say things like “Oh, I knew I recognised you” (a lie) than the actor lost his grip on the mini-cake he was trying to lift to his mouth, launching it into the air. It smooshed onto the floor, iced side down. “Oh God,” he muttered.
