Central Group is reportedly eyeing more influence over Selfridges amidst a flurry of financial chaos for co-owner Signa. Central, a Thai multinational with retail, property, brands, hospitality, and F&B arms, is understood to be keen to increase its stake in Selfridges, according to the Sunday Times.

Now, Signa may have to sell the stake after its Prime Selection unit, which co-owned Selfridges, filed for insolvency last week. Reports have suggested that most of the assets from…

Lights could soon use the full color suite of perfectly efficient organic light-emitting diodes, or OLEDs, that last tens of thousands of hours, thanks to an innovation from physicists and engineers at the University of Michigan. The U-M team’s new phosphorescent OLEDs, commonly referred to as PHOLEDs, can maintain 90% of the blue light intensity for 10-14 times longer than other designs that emit similar deep blue colors.

[MANILA] There was a big furore in the Philippines a few months back after a school student died, reportedly due to slapping by a school teacher during an exam.
