Afterthoughts – Media Lunch for Restaurant Week at Whisk
Restaurant Week is always a time of great excitement for gluttons like me, because it gives me a chance to experiment with restaurants not yet on my Hit List. Whisk, at the Mira Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, has long been on the periphery of my tasting vision, not because I haven't heard wonderful things about it, but because I've simply been a little too lazy (or, more appropriately, gluttonous) to make the journey across the Harbour for a meal. Yes, I do realise it's only a 5minutes ferry ride away from Central Hong Kong, but I somehow manage to elude the Dark Side and stay on the Island, come dinner time (on most days).
And somehow, Restaurant Week always seem to run parallel to my travels (last year, it happened when I was in Paris), as following my tasting at Whisk, I hoped on a plane to Hokkaido for a week of snowboarding. So I apologise for the slight tardiness of this review.
All being said, our media tasting of Whisk's dinner menu for Restaurant Week was truly a treat. A tour of the kitchen, and a seat at the Chef's Table, accompanied by Chef Bjoern's hilarious stories, was the cherry on top. I've always been fascinated about the inner workings of a restaurant kitchen – the hierarchy, the drama, the heat and the chaos. But I found none of that in Chef Bjoern's kitchen, just a very ordered and extremely efficient, almost eerily calm, environment. True to Chef Bjoern's German roots, he runs his kitchen like a well-oiled piece of German engineering.
Throughout our tasting, Chef Bjoern Alexander, with his charming, easy manner, regaled us with tales of his travels and adventures. One of the most astonishing, being his recent trip to Thailand, where he walked from Phuket to Bangkok within the span of 10 days, and worked as a dishwasher or a line cook in various restaurants along the way for room and board.
(Below) All these orders coming in, and Chef Bjoern still joking, and looking very calm.
Despite the busy lunch hour, Chef Bjoern still took a moment to relax and smile for my camera, along with his sous chef. I love the opaque glass frontage that separates the kitchen to the Chef's Table, so guests can see soft silhouettes of the chefs as they prepare their dishes.
First up on Whisk's Restaurant Week Dinner Menu – mussels and oysters, bathed in apple vinegar, garnished with tangy apple blossom and sea asparagus. Served on a dome of ice, this dish was almost too pretty to eat. The sweet yet tangy lightness of the apple vinegar cut through the creamy richness of the oyster – divine.
One of the guests at the table was not fond of oysters (I did offer to eat her portion hehehe), so the management at Whisk thoughtfully replaced her starter with a delicate salad, dotted with a potpourri of garden flowers. I am a huge fan of edible flowers, and apparently, Chef Bjoern has a mini fridge stocked full of them in the kitchen!
One of us at the table was also not fond of eggs, so had the dish substituted with this grilled eggplant and quinoa crisp instead. (Please note: the eggplant and garden salad dishes are not part of the Restaurant Week menu)
After several diversions from the menu, we return back to our second course – onsen egg blanketed in caramel, adorned with pickled vegetables and dusted with grated fresh horseradish. Chef Bjoern personally came out to grate the horseradish on each of our dishes. At first, the fresh horseradish smelled extremely pungent and spicy, but the taste was much more mellow and blended beautifully with the richness of the egg.
Another sexy shot of the onsen egg and its gooey golden heart.
Our main – slow-braised lamb breast with dried carrot, olive puree and black potatoes drizzled in hay oil. The lamb yielded to the fork like butter, and was incredibly juicy. The flavour was very concentrated, and reminded me more of mutton due to its robustness. The earthiness of the hay oil further accentuated the robustness of the lamb. What surprised me most was the black young potatoes, as they were of the most peculiar texture. The skin of the potato was wafer thin and had a subtle crunch that melted away instantly on the palate, and the centre was light and fluffy. I was absolutely addicted to these potatoes!
Sweet endings – raspberries with frozen cream, meringue and white chocolate. The cream was sinfully heavenly, and the raspberries were dotted with a fragrant floral distilled oil that Chef Bjoern orders from France. Each tiny bottle is the size of a bottle of nail polish, and costs more than HKD$7000, making this a truly indulgent dessert.
Verdict: A imaginative meal that echoes the Chef's true passion for top ingredients and innovative techniques. And priced at a mere HKD$438 per person, this is definitely beer bottle prices for Dom P quality. Restaurant Week lasts from February 21 – March 2, so get your reservations in as fast as humanly possible!

RENK – Multiple Sources from Upper Nile State disclosed to Upper Nile Times today the news of Gen. Yoanis Okiech, a Commander allied to Dr. Lam Akol who spearheaded the attack against SPLM-IO forces around Bouth on January 5, 2017, has met his fate. This news came after a report of Gen. Gatwech Chan aka Tanginye losing the gun battle after attacking SPLM-IO base.
According to one of the SPLM-IO General who chose to remain anonymous, reported that Gen Yoanis Okiech, after surviving the first clash with our force decided to escape to Khartoum but unfortunately both Yoanis Okiech and 27 of his bodyguards had failed to manage their exit strategies for them to escape to other side.
Our correspondence has tried to contact Dr. Lam Akol to verify the detail of this news, however, the communication did not go through.
Gen. Yoanis Okiech from Chollo community and Gen. Gatwech Chan from Pangak Nuer were reported to have link with Dr. Lam Akol who broke away from Juba government after July 8, 2016, violent conflict fitting Dr. Machar's forces against Salva Kiir's forces. Dr. Lam Akol once known for leading the Democratic Change had abandoned his old vision to form another rebel movement with both men tasked to command such forces as a pretext for creating another insurgent that seemed to also allied with Juba Government.
Gen Yoanis Okiech is a brother to former SPLM secretary general Pagan Amum Okiech.
Gen Tany Ginye killed along with his 2 sons. Gen Okiech wounded and narrowly escaped

text: Good morning, good afternoon or good evening, wherever you are. My name is Darrin. I'm pretty new to this website, was sent the link by a HS friend of mine. I've been perusing it the last several days, especially the build section. It really seems like a great place with a bunch of good people who love good food, making it and eating it. My brother and I entered our first BBQ competition on Memorial Day weekend, and we've been obssessing ever since. I've had a little CharGriller for a few years and have always enjoyed using it as a smoker and a grill and thought I did a good job on it. I realized after reading quite a bit that though it's not a horrible smoker, my ninja bbq skills are not quite up to snuff. We are looking at building a trailer mounted smoker rig. We have the opportunity for a free propane tank, but are looking at the option of a BIG compressor tank, or possibly an old refrigerator type. I like the idea of not blowing up. The horizontal tank will be a RF type, still working out the possibilities for the refrigerator type. At any rate, I just wanted to introduce myself and give a little bbq background. Have a great day. Darrin

This is a five-shot-HDR taken at the Porscheplatz in Stuttgart, Germany. That´s where all those nice cars are being built. The building on the left is the Porsche-Museum and if you still have some money left in your pocket you might want to go into the building on the right hand side, purchase a nice sportscar and go directly to the Autobahn. Don´t mind the "Stau" ;)

Beginning in the 1980s, Elizabeth Tallent's work, appeared in some of our most prestigious literary publications, including The New Yorker, Esquire, and Harper's. Marked by its quiet power and emotional nuance, her fiction garnered widespread praise.
Now, at long last, Tallent returns with a new collection of diverse, thematically linked, and deeply powerful stories that confirm her enduring gift for capturing relationships at their moment of transformation: marriages breaking apart, people haunted by memories of old love and reaching haltingly toward new futures. Mendocino Fire explores moments of fracture and fragmentation; it limns the wilderness of our inner psyche and brilliantly evokes the electric tension of deep emotion. In this audiobook, Tallent explores expectations met and thwarted, and our never-ending quest to avoid being alone.
With this breathtaking collection, Elizabeth Tallent cements her rightful place in the literary pantheon beside her contemporaries Lorrie Moore, Ann Beattie, and Louise Erdrich. Visceral and surprising, profound yet elemental, Mendocino Fire is a welcome visit with a wise and familiar friend.

With a US$ 3,000 check and a vision to reduce poverty in Madagascar through protecting his country's unique plants and animals, conservationist Serge Rajaobelina launched a nonprofit organization.
The year was 1997. Logging, mining, deforestation, agricultural expansion, population growth and an illicit wildlife trade were threatening to destroy the immense natural wealth of this Texas-sized island off the east coast of Africa. Rajaobelina aptly chose to name his organization Fanamby, the Malagasy word for "challenge" or "bet."
Having worked at Conservation International (CI) for 15 years in its U.S. headquarters and as a founding father of CI's Madagascar field office, Rajaobelina decided to go back home and make a difference.
So CI provided the seed money that has since blossomed into an organization whose 50 staff promote community conservation efforts in five of Madagascar's 22 regions.
Fanamby engages communities in conservation through supporting sustainable agriculture, ecotourism, educational radio programs, and monitoring and patrolling protected areas.
In 2005, Fanamby began working with CI's Global Conservation Fund (GCF) to ensure the long-term funding and sustainability of its efforts in the biodiversity-rich Loky-Manambato Daraina Forest Reserve.
Daraina, a mosaic of forests, rolling hills, coasts and rivers, is home to one of the most threatened and rare primates in the world, the golden-crowned sifaka. Thanks to this charismatic lemur species, Daraina has caught the attention of tourists.
For those who want to see Daraina's lemurs up close, Fanamby has helped the community start a budding ecotourism industry that includes a lodge, trained hospitality staff and forest guides, and an agreement with a private tour operator.
"The Malagasy people are starting to understand that if there are no lemurs, there's no development for people," Rajaobelina said.
GCF is currently creating a US$ 2 million endowment that will help fund Fanamby's work in Daraina far into the future.
GCF's forward-thinking and innovative approach in Daraina and other parts of the world marks a significant development in how environmental projects are funded, according to CI President Russell Mittermeier.
"Many foundations invest in a project for two or three years," Mittermeier said. "Then they get donor fatigue or they think they've done the job and they can leave. If you're making an investment in any place, especially in the developing world, you've got to be in for the long haul."
This financial stability was especially important to local communities in 2009 when Madagascar underwent a presidential coup and many international donors — including several of Fanamby's — withdrew funding. The results of GCF's uninterrupted support have been nothing short of impressive.
Since 98% of the population in the Daraina region are farmers, Fanamby has focused on ensuring that their activities are prosperous without undermining the ecosystems that sustain them.
Fanamby provides training to cashew and vanilla farmers so they increase their yields and become organic and fair-trade certified. Fanamby also offers financial and technical support as well as access to processing and packaging facilities.
Fanamby's business unit, Sahanala, even negotiates on behalf of farmers to obtain beneficial contracts with large international food companies such as General Mills and Ben & Jerry's.
"We cut out the intermediaries," Rajaobelina said, adding that farmers previously took out local loans at exorbitant interest rates and didn't have access to the wider market.
"We brought together local producers and the private sector from overseas. We have seen an increase of 450% income generation for the communities. That money is going back to social activities and the environment."
Without support from Fanamby, GCF, Verde Ventures and other partners investing in healthy ecosystems, farmers would most likely plant rice, cassava or other crops that require clearing the land. Or they might cut down and sell trees or participate in extractive activities that degrade the land and rivers.
The continuing growth of cashew and vanilla production ensures the preservation of Daraina's forests and the people and species that rely on them.
As a complement to Fanamby's work in the fields, forests and factories, it broadcasts a radio station that airs programs on sustainable agriculture, health, conservation and water management.
Through all of Fanamby's various projects to promote conservation and development, Rajaobelina has witnessed a shift in how some Malagasy people view nature.
"The wealth of Madagascar is based on conservation," he said. "If our biodiversity disappears, we won't be able to say to the world, 'We're unique.'"

In a truly bizarre move, the Australian Government has banned small breasts and female ejaculation from adult films. Find out why after the jump.
Fiona Patten, the convener of Australia's Sex Party, says the Australian Classification board has banned female ejaculation and the "depictions of small-breasted women in adult publications and films." According to her, the ban on showing female ejaculation is because "some members on the Board did not believe the science around female orgasm." That is, they believe science has proven that women have a g-spot and/or can "squirt." Customs officers have been ordered to seize any material depicting the female ejaculation.
The ban on small boobs is an entirely different kettle of fish. Itty bitty titties are banned in response to concerns that images of flat-chested women promote pedophilia. It is now illegal in Australian to show images of a naked woman who looks underage, even if she is of legal age. Because of this, Patten says, "We are starting to see depictions of women in their late 20s being banned because they have an A cup size." The consequence of this has been a "sharp increase in breast size in Australian adult magazines" and films.
Now big breasts in pornography certainly isn't a bad thing, because let's face it, the bigger the breasts the better. What stinks about this policy is it's a form of censorship. If a woman is of legal age, she should be allowed to show off her naked body, no matter her cup size.

Minster FM News
New Centre for Rape and Sex Assault Victims in North Yorkshire
3:52pm 1st May 2013
Julia Mulligan, the Police and Crime Commissioner for North Yorkshire, and North Yorkshire Police have today opened a Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) which will significantly improve services for victims of rape and sexual assault.
Known as Bridge House, the SARC provides access to services and support for victims under one roof. Bridge House is not a police station but provides a homely environment for victims to talk through the options available to them.
Crucially, victims do not have to report the crime to the police to receive help and they can contact the SARC by telephone to make an appointment. Any forensic evidence which is available can then be gathered and kept until the victim decides whether or not they want to involve the police.
Minster FM was given a tour by the centre manager Sarah Murphy.
Speaking about the opening, Julia Mulligan said: "Rape and sexual assault are devastating crimes which can have life changing effects.
"Within the Police and Crime Plan, I am absolutely committed to putting victims at the heart of our services; ensuring that we focus attention on what they need, when they need it. The facilities at the SARC will significantly improve the support we can give and improve the chance of bringing justice for these victims.
"I am grateful to everyone involved over the last two years to bring the SARC to its opening today. I will now be working hard with health colleagues to ensure we can maintain the facility for the long term."
Detective Chief Superintendent Simon Mason, Head of Crime, added: "This is a major milestone for North Yorkshire. Having the SARC means that victims of some of the most harrowing of crimes can get all the professional help they need under one roof.
"They can explore all the options available to them, allowing them to make a choice, in their own time, about how they wish their case to be dealt with, safe in the knowledge that no evidence will be lost."
SARC Manager Sarah Murphy, added: "Victims of sexual crimes can often be scared and confused, and they may find it hard to approach the police and make a complaint in the early days following an assault.
"The centre will make sure that they can receive the best possible care, support and service from all the agencies who can help them, including specially trained professionals who will guide them through all the options available to them."
Victims can contact Bridge House on 01904 669339
If you are in immediate danger you must always call 999

EDMONTON - It didn't take long for Connor McDavid to make himself right at home.
Playing his first game in the lavish new Rogers Place, McDavid scored twice as the Edmonton Oilers won their second straight pre-season game, defeating the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 on Thursday.
"It felt good, it was a good way to start," said McDavid, who also played his first game since becoming the youngest player in NHL history to be named captain. "It was a good win for us. They basically had their full lineup in, minus a few top forwards.
"I missed playing in front of Oilers fans over the summer. To come into this beautiful rink and have a good game like this, that made it all even better."
Oilers head coach Todd McLellan said it was good to see his young star put the captaincy hype behind him so quickly.
"We talked about him staying inside his skin and not changing who he was just because he had a 'C' on his jersey," McLellan said. "He did a very good job tonight, that whole line (with Jordan Eberle and Milan Lucic) was dangerous. They didn't play much in the third period, but they were dangerous in the first two."
Patrick Maroon, Mark Letestu and Tyler Pitlick had the other goals for the Oilers, who scored twice shorthanded and improved to 5-2-0 in exhibition action.
Brandon Tanev and Bryan Little responded for the Jets, who dropped to 4-2-0.
"We weren't so good at skating and battling and they were just one step ahead of us all the time," said Jets rookie Patrick Laine. "It was a hard game. We gave up some easy goals, including a couple of goals on the same power play. We will learn from this game."
The Oilers struck first on the power play five minutes into the opening period. McDavid took a drop pass from Eberle and danced past a defender before beating Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck. It was McDavid's second goal of the pre-season.
Edmonton had 11 first-period shots to Winnipeg's 10 on Oilers backup goalie Jonas Gustavsson.
The Oilers made it 2-0 on another power-play goal. Maroon stole the puck off the faceoff and waited for Hellebuyck to go down before sliding the puck in from a bad angle for his second goal and fourth point of the pre-season.
Edmonton rookie Drake Caggiula was awarded his second penalty shot in exhibition play a couple of minutes later, but once again was unable to score on the opportunity. He left the game with an injury later in the period, as did coach McLellan, who was hit with a puck.
Winnipeg got on the board midway through the second as Tanev got loose on a breakaway and beat Oilers goalie Cam Talbot, who came in while Gustavsson dealt with an equipment problem.
Edmonton went up 3-1 four minutes into the third as McDavid bounced off a check and sped up ice to score a short-handed goal. The Oilers then got another short-handed goal on the same penalty, as Letestu scored his second of the pre-season.
The Oilers got their fifth goal of the game from Pitlick during a scramble in front midway through the third.
Little got one back for the Jets with four minutes remaining.
Both teams conclude exhibition play on Saturday. The Oilers host the Vancouver Canucks and the Jets are in Minnesota.
Notes: These two teams met last Friday with Winnipeg winning 5-1. Mark Scheifele, who had four points in that game, and Blake Wheeler each lead the way for the Jets with five points through two games, but neither player made the trip to Edmonton. … The Jets and Oilers will face off in the Heritage Classic outdoor game on Oct. 23 in Winnipeg.

5 Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology staff report brain tumors since mid-April
A Melbourne university has emptied the top floors of one of its buildings after a spate of brain-tumour cases were reported during the past month. Most affected staff worked on the top floor, raising fears that cell-phone masts on top of the building are responsible. But experts say it is far more likely to be an unfortunate coincidence.
2 additional cases have been reported since 1999; 2 malignant, and 5 benign. 6 of the 7 cases have worked in the building for over a decade, mainly on the top floor, and there are mobile-phone-transmitter towers atop the building.
So, a few things. First, is this really a "cluster"? If so, is it due to a single exposure–such as radiation (or infectious agents, which they do mention in the article as well)?
They note some reasons to doubt that this is an "epidemic" of brain tumors due to a common cause. For one, they note that the tumors are very different from one another, and that "only three of the seven types have known associations with radiation." Genetic predisposition may also play a role, and other confounders need to be taken into consideration when investigating radiation, especially as a cause. Since these people worked together (most of them for a lengthy time period), they breathed the same air, likely drank the same water, etc. From the news report, it seems they're investigating all of that. They also mention that they measured the radiofrequency levels in the building, and found them to be "extremely low," suggesting that even if these cases are from a common source, it may be something other than the towers. (Of course, whether these levels have been "extremely low" for the past decade is another area they'd want to investigate, if they have measurements taken during that time).
Additionally, I don't have any information on the number of people who worked in this building. My initial question is, is an incidence of 7 cases in the last 7 years far above what would be expected? Is it 7 out of 100 employees, or 1000? (According to the May 13 entry here, it's a 17-story building, so I'd assume it's pretty well-populated). It seems like a lot because the 5 of them popped up just recently, but this could just be a statistical blip. It's in our nature to look for patterns to events, but sometimes things are just a coincidence. They also note that these cases weren't found in a systematic manner (screening all employees for adverse health conditions, for example), but were reported coincidentally. That makes it more difficult to know whether these 5 new cases are really an anomaly, or if these types of tumors have been appearing regularly in university staff.
The story says that the university is expected to release its findings next week–like most preliminary data, it will probably raise as many questions as it answers. It'll be interesting to see what they find.

Klobuchar, Thune say their bipartisan bill will improve rural health care
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and John Thune (R-SD) today introduced the Fostering Independence Through Technology (FITT) Act. The bipartisan legislation would expand the use of telehealth technology under Medicare in rural and other underserved communities across the nation.
"Telehealth technology helps ensure that Minnesotans in rural communities have access to high-quality affordable health care," said Klobuchar. "This is one of many ways that we can increase the efficiency of health care and reduce the increasing costs of health care for our families."
The FITT Act would create a pilot program to provide incentives for home health agencies across the country to use home monitoring and communications technologies, giving seniors and other Medicare beneficiaries greater access to the care they need and the ability to stay in their homes.
Under Klobuchar and Thune's legislation, home health agencies participating in the pilot program will receive annual incentive payments based on a percentage of the Medicare savings achieved as a result of telehealth services.

On the way home from school Kelly invited Cali over to hang out. Kelly enforced the idea that it was cool since nobody was going to be home. Kelly has been eager to get Cali alone, for she was horny eighteen year old. Once they got inside Kelly pushed her mark against the wall. They locked lips because there was nothing needed to say. Cali was all for it as Kelly moved her hand up Cali's skirt. Cali seemed to be ready for action since she had no panties on. These two were naughty school girls that love to eat pussy. Kelly made her self at home with her face planted between Cali's legs as she was urged to go harder. They moved over to the couch where Cali shared the love. Their pussy really got wet when they moved into the 69 position. The sounds of slippery wet pussy filled the room. These two will most likely be study buddies for some time.

Diabetes affects more than 372 million of people worldwide, leaving many suffering from overweight, fatigue, and weakness, and when untreated: visual, neurological and cardiovascular damage. While there is no cure for diabetes, many people living with the disease have found relief in exercise and/or workout routine. One of these activities is Yoga, which is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide.
Yoga focuses on breathing and movement that can boost circulation, especially in the extremities. It is one of few exercises that engage the entire body in motion with the breath, circulating the blood through parts that might otherwise go unused in our daily routine.
According to Mary Connor, a Miami-based yoga instructor who specializes in rehabilitating students recovering from injuries and chronic diseases like diabetes in her classes, yoga can help at any stage. "I have worked with people that had gone blind or lost feeling in their hands and feet from type 2 diabetes. We modified the poses until they are able to do them independently and comfortable by the end," says Connor. "Through yoga, that feeling of powerlessness is gone."
In addition to breathing exercises that yoga offers, the meditation segment included in most classes has been shown to encourage proper functioning of the endocrine glands through relaxing the sympathetic nervous system.
The benefits don't stop there. It also can help patients with the condition on more fundamental levels as well by integrating the mind with the body. Yoga can relieve the daily stresses that often lie at the heart of diabetic symptoms.
Like we always say: Be active = Be healthy.

Nollywood Industry is replete with many men and women of impeccable characters. In most cases, they are resilient and bubbling with energy to pursue whatever they do with their vigour.
One actress who has amply displayed these rare qualities is the sultry actress, Mercy Aigbe-Gentry.
You may wonder where she gets the energy and will power to cope with the herculean task of motherhood and fulfilling the obligation of making her fans happy. It's so simple; hear her, "I give my home a priority because, if the home is not right, my fans cannot get the best out of me. And for the home, I have a very understanding hubby who loves me even to a fault and treats me like a jewel of inestimable value. I cope very well, when I am leaving the home a happy woman, my job, no doubt, will get the best of me." You have heard it all, the best of Mercy is not yet come; only the sky is her limit.
Since she became an actress in an industry so many jostle to surpass one another, she has been able to hold ground firmly. In the industry today, many of her colleagues both established and upcoming ones all testify to her generosity, philanthropy, large heart and grand standing in the Nollywood without fear or favour.
Mercy, as she is fondly called, is so devoid of tribalistic or any form of sentiment that, even other people in Nollywood are genuinely proud of. Her recent movie, Osas- Omoge Benin, is rated to be one of the best ever shot this year with a good storyline, plot and choice of location.

The present invention pertains to the field of installing software, and more particularly to providing new options to already installed software.
Sometimes a software application is provided to a customer in a configuration that includes only basic features, i.e. a basic build, and the customer is able to request that additional features be activated. In some instances, the additional features are provided on an installation medium along with the basic build, but are not installed with the basic build. This procedure, having the customer install a base version and then later request that options be installed from the installation medium already provided, eliminates the need of providing to each customer a potentially different configuration, i.e. a basic build with potentially different installed options, and also eliminates having to provide an entirely new build (with a new set of options) each time a customer wants to take advantage of different or additional options.
In what has been described, there is nothing to stop a customer from installing any option the customer would like, even though the customer might only have paid for some of the options, or none at all. All of the options are provided to the customer on an installation medium, but simply not installed. What is needed is a way to allow provision of all the options to a customer with a base version (basic build), but to prevent the customer from installing options not paid for, and allowing a customer to install only those options requested and paid for.
Accordingly, the present invention provides a method and corresponding system for installing a software option for a software application already installed on a customer computer system. The option is included on an installation medium provided for use with the customer system, which includes an installation module. The software application is registered with customer service via a customer service system, and the registration information, provided to customer service, is stored also on the customer system, the method including the following steps performed on the customer system. The steps include receiving from a user an indication of the option to be installed; constructing, from elements of the registration information, a system identification uniquely identifying to the customer service system the application for which the option is to be installed; and construction of an order alteration request from the system identification and from the option indicated to be installed. Additionally, the steps include communication of the order alteration request to the customer service system, and receiving a key, from the customer service system, which is computed by hashing the predetermined elements of the order alteration request. A confirmatory key is then computed by hashing the predetermined elements of the order alteration request and comparing the key to the confirmatory key, and installing the option only if the key is the same as the confirmatory key.
In some aspects of the invention the customer service system performs the following steps: receiving the order alteration request and verifying the order using the system identification; checking the order for consistency, and in particular for whether some options already installed should be deleted for the software application to function properly; computing the key; and providing the key to the customer service.
Preferably, the key is computed using the secure hash algorithm (SHA). However, any reasonably secure hashing algorithm can be used in the method of the present invention to compute the key.
In some aspects of the present invention, the system identification also includes an indication of the time the order alteration request was prepared by the customer system.
The above and other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from a consideration of the subsequent detailed description presented in connection with accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a before and after of an installed software application consisting of a basic build and a set of installed options;
FIG. 2 is a flow chart showing how different options are installed on a customer system; and
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing components of the installation module used by a customer to install new options, and showing elements of the customer service module that interface with the installation module to allow a user to install different options.
Referring now to FIG. 1, according to the present invention, once a customer system 10 has installed on it a software application 25 a consisting of a basic build 26, and possibly some options 31 32 34, the customer (not shown) can use the customer system 10 to request that a customer service system (see FIGS. 2 and 3) enables installing additional or different options 31 33 35. In the preferred embodiment, the operating system hosting the software application 25 a allows the use of executable code that can be dynamically linked (at "run time") to other executable code. For example, the Microsoft Windows operating systems allow the use of dynamic-link-library (DLL) code. Regardless of whether DLLs per se are permitted by the host operating system, the options to be installed by the present invention are usually in the form of executable code 31-33 dynamically linkable to the basic build, and also in the form of data items 34-35.
The installation of options proceeds by loading into RAM (not shown) of the customer system an installation module 30 from an installation medium 27, such as a compact disc. Once in RAM, the installation module 30 copies onto the customer system whatever new options 33 35 have been validly requested, as described below, and eliminates all options the customer has indicated are to be removed, or options determined to be inconsistent with the new options as described below.
Referring now to FIG. 2, according to the present invention, to install a different set of options than the set of options already installed, the customer first loads the installation module 30 (see FIG. 1) from the installation medium 27 into RAM of the customer system 25. When the installation module 30 runs, in a step 21 the customer indicates the options the customer would like, selecting the options from a list of options 20. Then in a step 19, the installation module 30 constructs a system identification, using enough of the registration information (the customer is assumed to have registered the software application with customer service) to uniquely identify the customer to customer service. In addition, the installation module encodes the time of request in the system identification. The time of request is determined by referring to the system clock on the customer system and is used as a starting time for an interval in which the request would be considered valid by customer service. Beyond the interval, customer service will disallow the request. In the preferred embodiment, the interval is short enough that it is physically nearly impossible for a customer to transfer the constructed system identification to another customer system and have that customer system also make a request for additional options.
The installation module then, in a step 21, builds an order alteration request, including the system identification and a list of the options selected by the customer. In the same step 21, the installation module sends the order alteration request to customer service over a communication channel 13, such as the Internet. On the customer service side, in a step 15, the customer system verifies the order alteration request using a list of options 14. The verification includes checking the request for consistency with existing options. It checks for consistency by referring to an orders database 16, using the system identification as an index, to determine the options already in place on the customer system. As part of the consistency check, the customer service system checks for any exclusions of options that are required based on the options the customer would like and the options already in place. The exclusions are those options that must be eliminated, because of the new options requested, for the application to work properly.
In a step 17, if the order alteration request is valid if i.e. if the customer is a valid customer according to the system identification customer service then prepares and sends to the customer a key to unlock the requested options. The key is computed, in the preferred embodiment, by hashing predetermined elements of the order alteration request using the secure hash algorithm (SHA), as specified in Federal Information Processing Standards publication (FIPS PUB) 180-1, dated Apr. 17, 1995, or any later version. This standard is used because it provides a key of constant length (160 bits) for a message of a length less than 264 bits. The present invention however should not be understood to be limited to the use of SHA for providing a key to unlock the options. Any reasonably secure hash algorithm is suitable for use in unlocking options according to the present invention. In the preferred embodiment, a single key is used to unlock all of the consistent options of any order alteration request.
When the installation module 30 receives the key from customer service, along with any exclusions, in a step 23 it also computes a confirmatory key by hashing the same predetermined elements of the order alteration request, using the same predetermined hash algorithm, which in the preferred embodiment is SHA as indicated above. The installation module then compares the key it calculated (the confirmatory key) with the key it received. If the keys match, the installation module unlocks the options requested, i.e. it copies the requested options from a file of options 22 on the installation medium 27 onto the customer system as installed options 24, and it eliminates from the customer system any exclusions.
Referring now to FIG. 3, individual task modules 42-47 of the installation module 30 (FIG. 1) are shown along with the individual task modules of the customer service system 41. The installation module 30 includes a system identification constructor, for constructing the system identification from elements of the registration information 18 stored on the customer system. It also includes a requestor 43 for preparing and communicating a request for new options. The requestor 43 makes available to the user a list of the available software options 45 from which the customer can make a selection. The installation module 30 further includes a key maker 45 for computing a key based on elements of the system identification and the requested options communicated by the requester 43. The installation module also includes a key comparator 46, which receives from the customer service module a key computed by the customer service system compares the key with the confirmatory key computed by the key maker 45, and determines whether the keys are the same. Finally, the installation module 30 includes an option installer 47, which is called by the key comparator 46 only if the keys in fact are the same. The option installer then selects from the installation medium those options to install from among all software options 22 that are stored on the installation medium 27.
On the customer service side, the customer service system 41 is shown as including an order checker 48 for checking the consistency of a request for new options received from the customer installation module 30. The order checker 48 uses an orders database 16 and a list of available software options 20 to check for consistency of the request. The order checker then calls a customer service system key maker 50 and provides it with the information it needs to compute a key corresponding to the request for new options, as well as providing it with any exclusions that are required by the requested options.
It is to be understood that the above-described arrangements are only illustrative of the application of the principles of the present invention. Numerous modifications and alternative arrangements may be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims are intended to cover such modifications and arrangements.

COPENHAGEN, July 13 (Reuters) - Denmark's general prosecutor said on Thursday it had charged a former Singapore unit manager of Denmark-based OW Bunker with fraud.
The prosecutor said the former manager, a Danish citizen, has been charged with committing fraud of agent for more than 800 million Danish crowns ($122.79 million) by granting credit outside his mandate.
The prosecutor also said it did not find legal grounds for criminal prosecution of other management members within the OW Bunker group, the world's biggest marine fuel supplier before it went bankrupt in 2014.

Where To Start with Houses and More
Things to Look for When Hiring a Good Real Estate Agent
Real estate agents are experts when it comes to selling properties in the real estate market. A good real estate agent is someone who is open to changes such as those that impact sellers and buyers by making use of creative, out-of-the-box marketing methods. Every real estate agent must be able to listen intently to what their buyers, renters, and sellers will have to say. In this way, they get to determine what the general public hates about them and in turn actively take part in making effective business changes. Real estate agents must have business hours that are more or less the same with other professionals that are paid huge amounts of cash per transaction.
On a daily basis, it is important for a real estate agent to make use of their skills. The best real estate agents are those that do not think that the real estate market is only done part-time. This basically implies that the job of a real estate agent must be done full time; it should not be done just because the agent needs additional income. Having the ability to remain calm when something goes the wrong way is an important trait for any real estate agent. A real estate agent should always be a professional. Quite simply, whatever will be said or done, leaving another real estate agent or client hanging is definitely out of the question.
It is crucial that a real estate agent must be able to keep up, understand, and learn all the applicable marketing tools that make buying or selling of homes a whole lot easier. Not being comfortable making use of the internet should no longer be an excuse among real estate agents of today. These days, the internet must be greatly utilized by them since a lot of real estate properties are now being posted, viewed, and sold online. A good real estate agent should have an in-depth understanding of the different methods of marketing and communication. Additionally, all media platforms that are currently available must be familiarized because these are the tools that buyers tend to explore when looking for homes for sale.
A real estate agent must not only turn on their communication devices once they have returned to their office. It is important that they are able to do their business full-time as well as be able to be ready to do business anytime within their business hours. A good real estate agent must never skip town and not have any backup plans left. This only leaves the deal hanging as a conclusion. In the real estate industry, it does not matter if the real estate agent is on leave. Convincing sellers that open houses do not work is a no-no in the job of a good real estate agent. The reason being that it is every single day that open houses sell properties.

Purchase a Kayak and get 10% off ALL of
your accessories (paddle, sprayskirt, roof rack, you name it)! Use
coupon code 10OFF when ordering. Discount will only apply
after a boat has been added to your cart.
Stable and fast, the Eddyline Journey 15'6" Kayak is an
efficient and seaworthy cruising kayak. Capable of eating up miles
and carrying a decent load for those weekend camping trips, the
Eddyline Journey is a great choice for the larger paddler or the
paddler looking to carry some gear. The abundant cockpit and foot
room makes it comfortable for larger folk yet the padded thigh
braces and adjustable foot pedals, backrest, and seat allow
virtually anyone to have a good fit. Journey comes completely
rigged with roomy bulkheaded compartments bow and stern, a
retractable skeg, a full complement of deck rigging, perimeter
lines, Eddyline's popular retractable carry handles and the NEW
2009 Seat design. Take a journey of your own in this easy to paddle
The seat has 4 inches of adjustment forward and back allowing
the paddler to change position relative to the thigh pads for the
best fit.
The new backrest/backband combo has a locking knob in the rear
for setting the vertical position and an easy to reach cleat
adjustment at the right side for the forward and back positioning.
The backrest cannot fold forward and stays put during re-entry.
This system is comfortable for extended paddling trips and very
easy to adjust to vary your seating position.
Made in USA
Thermoforming produces a kayak similar in appearance and
performance to that of fiberglass, but with a number of
enviromental benefits. Carbonlite 2000 is an impact resistant
multi-layered plastic that is easily repairable. Outer surfaces are
harder than other plastics and even gel coat. This provides better
abrasion resistance, better UV protection and lighter weights.
This review was written by Ethan Ebersold of Ebersold
Distribution Inc, a leading manufacturer's representative group in
the paddlesports industry.
I've been paddling Eddyline's new Journey. At 15'6" and 24"
wide, this is the perfect hybrid for both touring and day to day
paddling. Eddyline uses the larger cockpit on this boat which can
be equipped with or without thigh braces. The boat fit me perfectly
with thigh braces (5'11" 170 lbs). Eddyline's new seat system
(pictured below) allows for the paddler to customize fit and boat
trim by moving the seat forward or back. I really like that this
seat can be adjusted for forward lean and seat back height on the
fly. For those who like a clean boat, you can even remove the
entire seat for cleaning or maintenence.
The Journey was quite manueverable, edged with ease, and
accelerated like any touring kayak should. The Journey is equipped
with an adjustable skeg which can help with wind management in
bigger water. I found that I only needed to use the skeg slightly
in a downwind or quarter down wind. The adjustable seat can also
help with adjusting your trim for the day. There is also ample
storage for weekends or lighter expeditions.
The Journey combines the sensibility and fit of the Equinox with
a lot of the performance chararistics of the Fathoms. Another great
boat to help round out the line!

Nier Automata is a very good game and a very enjoyable one too. It's a great game in my opinion and overall it's a game that cannot be missed by any gamer and if you like games made by Platinum Games then you'll surely enjoy this game. Nier Automata is the dark horse of this year. I didn't have high hopes for this game but I immediately got hooked when I started to play this game. The best thing about this game is the combat system. Holy moly is the combat system perfect. The combat system in this game is absolutely outstanding. If this game had an awful story it would still be quite good because of the awesome combat system.
Nier Automata does a lot of things right. For example, the combat system is outstanding as mentioned above. `The art style in this game is gorgeous. Every character has an excellent design and I think 2-B's design is very interesting and bizarre in my opinion. The story in Nier Automata is very well written. The story is very engaging and interesting that being said the story can be quite confusing at times but overall Nier Automata has a great story and If you're looking for a game with an engaging story I recommend you check out Nier Automata.
The characters in Nier Automata are great. They are all very likable and all have great personalities. I especially liked the main character in Nier Automata. The music in this game is excellent. Every single track in this game is beautifully done. Nier Automata has a fantastic soundtrack. The soundtrack is the best in years in my opinion.
To be honest the combat system in Nier Automata is what really makes this game shine. The combat system is well polished. You can play this game Beat em up style or you can play this game the RPG way.
The atmosphere in Nier Automata is very good but the level design in this game is magnificent. The level design really suits this game in my opinion.
There are many ending in Nier Automata and some of them are sad. This makes Nier Automata a must if you're looking for a game with a lot of replay value.
While the art style is excellent the graphics aren't too good. Textures were very weak and overall the graphics could have been a lot better. This game may have a lot of replay value but it lacks content.
Overall Nier Automata is a very good game recommended to all gamers. Platinum Games have a gem in their hands.
NieR Automata is a very good game recommended to everyone. The combat system is outsanding and the story is well written.
