Daily Briefing: CDL to launch New Futura condo; 3 reasons why a company would be privatised

And here's what you need to know before getting your home insurance.

From PropertyGuru: Property developer City Developments Limited (CDL) is gearing up to launch its New Futura condominium at Leonie Hill Road in prime District 9 sometime in the second half of 2017. Located close to the Orchard Road area, the luxury freehold project will comprise two 36-storey towers with a total of 124 units. Construction is expected to be completed later this year.

From The Motley Fool Singapore: Singapore’s stock market has seen a long list of companies taken private in recent years. Some investors welcome the privatisation attempts as they are opportunities to cash out of a stock. Others may resent privatisations as they would result in a smaller pool of listed companies in the market. Regardless of what your view may be regarding privatisations, it’s worth looking at some important reasons why a company may take the privatisation route. Here are three big ones.

From Zuu Online via Yahoo!: Buying a home is possibly the single largest financial decision that you will take in your life. Most Singaporeans spend long hours visiting various residential properties before deciding on their dream home. Unfortunately, home insurance does not get even a fraction of this attention. You must remember that even though the probability of your home getting damaged by fire or flood is small, it does exist. If you neglect to insure your residential property adequately, you could be exposing yourself to unnecessary risk.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
