    Digesting Food Studies—Episode 120: Carceral Food Systems https://rss.com/podcasts/digesting-food-studies/2739060/This episode considers carceral food systems and the roles food plays in expressing identity and liberty, as well as oppression and power. Alexia Moyer’s Amuse Bouche segment starts it off with a historical record of how WWII prisoners of war in Singapore dealt with hunger, privation, and the distribution of food labour. After that, Amanda Wilson discusses themes from the May 2025 themed section of Canadian Food Studies that she co-edited, “Exploring Carceral Food Systems” (https://canadianfoodstudies.uwaterloo.ca/index.php/cfs/issue/view/39). And, closing things out, chef-activist-PhD student Joshna Maharaj responds to Kelsey Timler’s article, “Protest pizzas: Resisting carcerality with storytelling, community building, and an array of toppings” (https://doi.org/10.15353/cfs-rcea.v12i1.696)#DigestingFoodStudies#FoodPodcast#CarceralFoodSystems#Prisons#PrisonFood#PrisonersOfWar#Singapore#Changi#Protest#Resistance#Pizza#FoodStudies#Academia

    yahoo news | EPG Adds Over US$100 Million in Series B+ Financing, Expanding Strategic Backing...EPG, a Singapore‑headquartered provider of modular and prefabricated data‑center infrastructure, announced the close of a US $100 million Series B+ financing round. The round was led by Decarbonization Partners – a joint venture between BlackRock and Temasek – and included participation from Alibaba Cloud and other strategic investors. Building on a prior Series B earlier in the year, the new capital will fund the next phase of EPG’s international expansion, enhancing research‑and‑development, manufacturing capacity, and global delivery capabilities for AI‑focused data‑center projects.Founded in 2004, EPG’s prefabricated modular business model integrates power, IT, and cooling systems into factory‑built units that can be deployed rapidly with lower environmental impact. The company highlighted that the surge in demand for high‑density AI computing is outpacing traditional construction methods, which struggle with extreme power densities and compressed timelines. By offering a modular solution that balances speed, energy efficiency, and sustainability, EPG aims to become a critical partner for hyperscale, cloud, and enterprise customers seeking scalable infrastructure.In 2025 EPG delivered more than 200 MW of modular data‑center capacity, including a landmark 60 MW+ full‑scope project – one of the largest of its kind in Asia – and expanded its footprint with new offices in Japan, Thailand, and Dubai. The company recently relocated its overseas headquarters to Novena Square Tower in Singapore, underscoring its commitment to global growth. With the fresh financing, EPG expects 2026 to be a turning point, scaling delivery of high‑performance AI data‑center solutions worldwide while continuing to advance its sustainable, prefabricated approach.Read more: https://www.morningstar.com/news/pr-newswire/20260330cn22145/epg-adds-over-us100-million-in-series-b-financing-expanding-strategic-backing-for-global-ai-data-center-growth#epg #singapore #decarbonizationpartners #blackrock #alibabacloud

    The Red Edge (Semanga superba) spotted at Lornie Park Connector, Singapore on 22 March 2026. A lovely, uncommon butterfly with an unmistakable red edge on its hindwings, hence its common name. I haven't seen it for several years.On iNaturalist [ https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/344395892 ].#iNaturalist #Nature #Photography #Singapore #Insects #Butterflies #Lepidoptera
