Photos: Old Chinatown | KCET
Photos: Old Chinatown
By 1870, an identifiable "Chinatown" of two hundred or so inhabitants was situated on Calle de Los Negros - Street of the Dark Hued Ones - a short alley fifty feet wide and one block long between El Pueblo Plaza and Old Arcadia Street. These early, mostly male Chinese residents worked as laundrymen, market gardeners, agricultural and ranch workers, and road builders. Built on segregated covenant land near the train tracks, Los Angeles' first Chinatown eventually became home to more than three thousand Chinese. Given the lack of social services and political representation available to the sojourners, Old Chinatown was by necessity a tightly knit community, surviving through family networks with close ties to homeland China and the many benevolent societies that arose in the early years.

Samsung Galaxy Note10 gets Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta in the US
Samsung released Android 10-based One UI 2.0 beta for the Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note10+ in India last week, and now the company is expanding the beta to Note10 owners in the US.
However, do note that One UI 2.0 beta is currently only available for the unlocked Note10 and Note10+ units. Those using the carrier-locked variants can't participate.
If you are interested, you can enroll in the One UI 2.0 beta program from the Samsung Members app. Once enrolled, head over to the Software update section in your phone's Settings app to download the One UI 2.0 update on your device.
The update weighs around 2GB in size and before you proceed with the installation, do remember that this is a beta build and will have bugs that could hamper the user experience. So the smart thing is probably not to install it on your primary phone.

There are several ways to gamble online. One of those ways is online betting. No reward comes without risk, and this is the entire concept behind online betting.
There are many kinds of bet helpers available on the internet, but only some offer actual odd comparison in a way that is both secure and less of a random guess.
The most secure way to bet is to have an odds comparison done first. Here is how odd comparison actually works:
The basic mechanism of betting involves a person placing their resources on someone or something else so that they can reap rewards if that specific someone or something wins. Odds are the chances of winning or losing. Since there is no definite way of finding out who the winner of something will be, before the match has begun, people rely on resources such as past results, skillset and so much more to make a safe guess on who might win. This is called the odds comparison. You are comparing the odds of a specific person or thing winning against another specific person or thing.
First start choosing an online website for odd comparison, for example, betting24.
You will be prompted to choose a sport that you want to bet on. Pick your poison, and you will be shown the corresponding scores and possible matches that you can find the odds for.
Most online odd comparison websites, like the one we mentioned before, allow you to find the best odd for a certain match in a very clean manner. This helps you choose whether to bet on your chosen player or not.
Odds comparison is used to improve your chance of winning a game, with the help of knowledgeable guesses, as well as information that might not be accessible to the general public.
There are a lot of benefits to reap because of odd comparison: Save time
Doing an educated odd comparison through an online website not only helps you figure out who is going to win, but also saves valuable time. Time is money, after all.
Because you are not the person who is going to be thinking, but the highly proficient staff and computers that will be doing all the thinking for odd comparison, you will save a lot of headaches, and effort by choosing an odd comparison website instead of trying to compare the odds yourself. You can use all that effort for celebrating that victory instead.
If you have decided that odd comparison is really useful, and you want to give it a try, we would recommend betting24 as one of the best websites for betting.
Betting24 is run by highly experienced staff, with over 20 years of experience, and gives a very detailed overview of each match, and the probability of a certain player winning a match. The website is determined to give you special bonuses by several companies like Welcome Bonus, and miscellaneous other bonuses during events. Finally, they also have their own dedicated betting guides that will help you learn how to get better at betting.

Ladies, join us this Fall as we journey through the eight-week study called All Things New by Kelly Minter. She will lead us through 2 Corinthians, exploring the anchoring truths of bearing treasures in jars of clay, meeting Christ through a pressing thorn, opening wide your heart in the midst of hurtful relationships, and what it means to embrace the lost and lonely as ministers of the new covenant. Each of us has a message to proclaim and live by: Because of Jesus the old has gone, the new has come.
Dates: Wednesday mornings, September 16 - November 4
Time: 9:30am - 11:30am
Location: Three options - See below.
Please note that childcare is NOT available due to COVID-19 limitations.
Registration Fee: $17 - includes book.
Specific dates and times will be emailed to all registrants for book pickup at our Livermore Campus.
Location Options: In light of the slow reopening of our county due to COVID-19 restrictions, we are offering a hybrid study, both on Zoom and in-person. The weekly study videos will be shown on Wednesdays at 9:30 a.m. on Zoom, available for all participants. Discussion groups will follow in three different formats:
- In-Person Small Groups will comply with state/local guidelines for COVID-19. If the guidelines change, requiring shut-down, groups will convert to online (Zoom). Childcare is not available.
- Online-only groups will have breakout rooms on Zoom after the video.
- Self-study alone or with a friend. Join us on Zoom for the video only; share what you're learning with a friend by phone, FaceTime, or in person.
Due to COVID-19 concerns, attending a small in-person gathering should be evaluated on an individual basis and at each attendee's own discretion and chosen social bubble. Your group leader may have to cancel or move any of the scheduled in-person gatherings to an online meeting format should conditions warrant doing so.

Colorado is the first album by Neil Young & Crazy Horse since the epic Psychedelic Pill in 2012. The band believe that they had it in them to make an album that was equal to their best material, so they got together and gave it a go. This particular incarnation of Crazy Horse include Nils Lofgren on guitar and piano.

CD on Warner Bros.
Neil Young is back in brilliant and bullish form on 'Colorado', his first album in seven years, since 2012's 'Psychedelic Pill'. The thing you must understand about this record is that the arrangements on this record are very standard, vanilla ice-cream, chicken korma, low-ABV, visit Buckingham Palace-type standard. However. However. It's Neil Young so the songs just have that je ne sais quoi.
Listen, thirteen-minute songs are great if they change a lot or don't change at all. Young Neil subverts this rule on the album's centrepiece, 'She Showed Me Love', belligerently positioned one song in. How does this lumpen trudge of a song, where the lead guitar is panned unashamedly to one side, sound so entrancing and hypnotic? It's the Young-factor, of course. I love the kinda sleazy chorus line, which the band sing in the Bad Seeds style, and the lyrics are superb. The song starts and Young speak-sings "You might say I'm an old white guy... I'm an old white guy", I mean come on! What an opening gambit!
In this lyric and elsewhere Young seems to be wrestling slightly with a sense of self. On 'Think Of Me' he says "I can slither in the ditches" and on 'I Do' he asks, perhaps to himself, "why do I believe in you?" There's an interesting interesting ecological angle to these lyrics. The songs are peppered with references to environmental catastrophe, such as bloated whale carcasses and dead coral reefs. This is where the genius of the album lies. It's all about voice, the voice. Young's tremulous falsetto and high-register parts are completely heart-breaking. The arrangements, slapdash and rough-hewn as they are, allow a voice to be heard. As Young himself sings on 'Help Me Lose My Mind' "I got a voice that does its damage".

No Such File Or Directory
Trying to Clone a bunch of new Panasonic CF-33 Toughbooks but I'm now stuck and not quite sure what to do next. We recently upgraded to 1.3.0 today and everything on the web is now up and running. I made a new Image for the Toughbook, did a restart to boot into LAN, then my options come up so I go scroll down to On Demand. After selecting On Demand I now get the following...
http://192.168.x.x/clonedeploy/service/client.asmx/IpxeBoot?filename-4.5x648type-kernal...No such file or directory
Could not boot
There looks to be no "service" folder in place which is the issue here but not quite sure how to fix it.
My Base URL is set directly to "http:\192.168.x.x\clonedeploy"
Sounds like you didn't recreate the default boot menu
Default Boot Menu was recreated several times. Even selecting new PXE Modes and trying different Kernels it gives the same "Directory Not Found" error because that directory doesn't exist.
There is no longer an option for on demand directly from the menu, so some how the menu is not being created. Any errors in the logs?
Only logs I've gotten since the update. These are from CloneDeployFE.log

Doesn't make sense. That is correct, which means the computer is not getting that boot menu. Are you using proxyDHCP? Have you changed your tftp path?
Not using Proxy DHCP and file path is set to
"C:\Program Files (x86)\clonedeploy\tftpboot" inside of the config.
Worse comes to worst I can just reinstall everything over again but not sure if I'll run into the same issue doing so.
Trying now too see if I can get anything else to log.
C:\Program Files (x86)\clonedeploy\tftpd32\tftpd32_gui
and select the log viewer tab
pxe boot that machine again and then post that log

Now check the base directory, in that same gui select settings then tftp
and in the CloneDeploy UI Admin->Boot Menu->Editor there is a path right above the menu, grab that as well

Can you hack your brain?
In 2017, he injected himself with CRISPR DNA at a biotech conference, live-streaming the experiment – brain hacks. He later on said he was sorry for that stunt because brain hacking it could lead others to copy him and "individuals are going to get harmed." Yet when asked whether his business, the Odin, which he lacks his garage in Oakland, California, was going to stop selling CRISPR packages to the general public, he stated no (brain hacks).
A self-identified biohacker, she informed me individuals should not pursue brain hacking, not simply due to the fact that they don't work half the time( she's an expert and even she could not get it to work), however since CRISPR is such a new technology that researchers aren't yet sure of all the risks included in utilizing it. It's a harmful practice that should not be marketed as a.
Do It Yourself activity." At Genspace and Biotech Without Borders, we always get the most heartbreaking e-mails from moms and dads of children affected with hereditary diseases, "Jorgensen states." They have actually viewed biohacking your brain these Josiah Zayner videos and they wish to enter our class and cure their kids. That is exceptionally unpleasant (sleep hacks). "She believes such biohacking stunts offer biohackers like her a bad name.
The Art And Science Of Biohacking
" It's bad for the DIY bio community," she said, "since it makes individuals feel that as a general guideline we're reckless ." Existing policies weren't developed to understand something like biohacking, which in some cases extends the very limitations of what it indicates to be a person (biohackers). As biohackers traverse uncharted area, regulators are rushing to overtake them. biohacking.
What Is Brain Hacking Anyway?
After the FDA released its statement in February urging individuals to keep away from young blood transfusions, the San Francisco-based start-up Ambrosia, which was popular for offering the transfusions, stated on its website that it had" ceased client treatments (brain hacks)." The website now states," We are currently in conversation with the FDA.
on the subject of young plasma." This wasn't the FDA's first foray into biohacking. And after he injected himself with CRISPR, the FDA released a notice stating the sale of Do It Yourself gene-editing sets for usage on people is prohibited (sleep hacks). Zayner disregarded the warning and continued to sell his products. biotechnology. In 2019, he was, for a time, under investigation.

by California's Department of Consumer Affairs, accused of practicing medicine without a license. They state it's much better to motivate a culture of transparency so that individuals can ask concerns about how to do something safely, without worry of reprisal. According to Jorgensen, many biohackers are safety-conscious, not the sorts of people thinking about engineering a pandemic.
They've even created and embraced their own codes of ethics (biohacking)." At the start of the DIY bio movement, we did a horrible great deal of deal with Homeland Security," she said." And as far back as 2009, the FBI was reaching out to the Do It Yourself neighborhood to try to construct bridges." Carlson informed me he's observed two general shifts over the past 20 years.

Power4Global is taking mature EU start-ups with a validated, scalable, and innovative ideas that solve an urban mobility-related customer problem to the next level within the EIT Urban Mobility Go Global Programme.
This programme gives global outreach supported by learning Investment Sessions focused on overseas expansion and culminating with a presentation at Reuters Mobility Summit in October 2020.
Power4Global is an integral part of the GoGlobal programme, itself part of the larger Business Creation programme. It is oriented on aiding urban mobility startups in their expansion outside of Europe, particularly in the United States. This programme would have concluded in the selected startups visiting Silicon Valley, particularly San Diego. Due to COVID-19 limitations though, it will be conducted virtually.
While participating in the Power4Global Investment Sessions, start-ups will understand investment principles and be able to succeed in the US market. The format will be interactive – a 45 min keynote followed by a 45 min Q&A with speakers bringing amassed expertise in subjects such as US & international investors, successful start-ups from US, innovation hubs representatives and business and legal advisors.
The applications were pouring in until the deadline of August 5th, when a total of 23 startups submitted their information to be evaluated.
All participating startups had to submit a pitch deck and answer a set of questions oriented on their business model viability, scalability and other important factors. All of these attributes were then examined individually by a team of evaluators which gave the startups a total score. Based on this score, the final list of the selected startups is here:
These five startups, as well as all of the rest that were not selected, will now be able to attend the six preparation investment sessions. They will be oriented on expansion to foreign markets such as the US, as well as other important fields of business.
Each one of the sessions will have a speaker with expertise from fields related to startup scalability and growth.

ABOUT a fortnight ago, we received the shocking news that the Nigerian embassy staff buildings in Accra were levelled to the ground by a Ghanaian businessman, claiming that the edifice had been erected on his own land. He brought papers claiming ownership of the land. Apparently, our legation could not show proof of ownership — a big embarrassment.
Foreign Minister Geoffrey Onyeama issued a press statement saying that the demolition was the handiwork of criminals. Many Nigerians have been understandably outraged.
Many have called for retaliation in kind. However, the Presidency tersely maintains that they would not be starting a "street fight" with Ghana. I commend them for that maturity.
Nigeria and Ghana, are, in a manner of speaking, twins. Ghana is the older of the two, having gotten its independence from Britain in March 1957 while we got ours three years later, in October 1960. It is one of the quirks of nature that the elder of most twins tends to be the smaller in build. Therein lies the seeds of sibling rivalry.
The roots of our rivalry go back to colonial times.
The British imperialists recruited mercenaries from Nigeria to help them "pacify" the unruly principalities of the Gold Coast, including the capture and public execution of the brave female warlord Yaa Asantewaa.
Ghana had all the gold. Nigeria was a vast backwater. The British were prepared to train some of the sons and daughters of the Akan royalty to become subaltern administrators. They built top-ranking schools such as Achimota, Wesley Girls, Adisadel and Mfantsipim.
Their Nigerian counterparts such as Kings College, Queen's, Hope Wadell, Christ the King Onitsha, Dennis Memorial, Igbobi, and Barewa look like provincial trade schools.
The Gold Coast was well ahead of Nigeria in most indices of development. It had probably the best civil service on the continent. In 1945, a British government impoverished by war, resorted to borrowing from the Ghanaian treasury.
At independence, Ghana was more prosperous than South Korea, Singapore and Malaysia.
Interestingly, Nigeria played an important role in the career and destiny of Ghana's first President, Kwame Nkrumah. Nkrumah was inspired by the example of Nnamdi Azikiwe to pursue the so-called Golden Fleece in the United States. Nkrumah spent several months with his cousin in Lagos before gathering enough money to sail to the United States. He attended the same Lincoln University in Pennsylvania that Zik had attended a decade earlier.
Kwame Nkrumah was,without a doubt, the greatest pan-Africanist of his generation. His place in history is assured. At independence, Accra became the Mecca of pan-Africanists the world over. They included such personalities as George Padmore, W. E. B. Dubois, Martin Luther King Jr, Nelson Mandela, Robert Sobukwe, Kamuzu Banda, Robert Mugabe and many others.
As many of my gentle readers would recall, Nkrumah was the leader of the radical Casablanca Group who wanted immediate unification of the continent. Other members of this group included Sekou Toure of Guinea, Modibbo Keita of Mali and King Hassan of Morocco. The conservative Monrovia Group who advocated a more gradualist approach was led by Nigeria, Ethiopia, Liberia, Sierra Leone andTunisia.
Many suspected Nkrumah to be a man of overweening continental ambition. His assault on multi-party democracy in Ghana, muzzling of the press and independent criticism, removal of a sitting Chief Justice in the person of Sir Arku Korsah,incarceration of opposition leaders such as J. B. Danquah, and the creeping cult of personality, showed all the symptoms of a rising despot.
There was no love lost between Kwame Nkrumah and our first and only Prime Minister, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa.
Nigeria's opposition leader Chief Obafemi Awolowo was a close friend of the Ghanaian leader. They were both socialists. Several of Awo's lieutenants were trained at Ghana's Ideological Institute in Winneba. The Nigerian government pointed accusing fingers at Ghana for an alleged plot to violently overthrow Balewa's democratically elected government. In 1963, Awolowo was tried for treason and imprisoned for 10 years.
When Sir Abubakar was assassinated in the first military putsch led by Majors Chukwuma Nzeogwu and Emmanuel Ifeajuna, Nkrumah coldly declared that our Prime Minister was a "victim of forces he did not understand". When he himself was deposed in a military coup barely a month later, we would suppose that he was victim of forces that he presumably well understood.
Over succeeding decades, there has been a love-hate relationship between our two countries. Some of our elder military officers were trained at the Ghanaian Military Academy at Teshie. They include Yakubu Gowon, Chukwuma Kaduna Nzeogwu, Benjamin Adekunle and Olusegun Obasanjo. It was in Teshie that the Nigerians forged life-long bonds with the likes of Akwasi Afrifa and Ignatius Kutu Acheampong.
In 1969, the Oxford-educated Ghanaian Prime Minister Kofi Abrefa Busia, summarily expelled thousands of Nigerians from his country. In 1983, the civilian administration of Shehu Shagari retaliated later by expelling two million Ghanaians from our country. The Ghanaians were right to see it as the darkest spot in the collective humiliation as a people. These sad events have cast a shadow over our relations for decades.
We have made stupendous fortunes from oil, which we have proceeded to fritter away in corruption and graft. Nigeria has come to the aid of Ghana in so many ways. We have given loans and outright grants and offered subsidised petroleum and gas. But they also know that we are a failed state, where nothing really works. We have nothing to show that the Ghanaians can learn from.
Of course, there have been intermarriages. Nigerian music and films are all the rage in Accra, Kumasi, Cape Coast and beyond. We have naturalised Ghanaians that have made their mark in our country. A notable example being the late Professor Kwaku Adadevoh who became a Professor of Medicine and distinguished Vice-Chancellor of the University of Lagos. His daughter Ameyo Adadevoh became a heroine of contemporary Nigeria by giving her life to protect the nation from the scourge of Ebola.
Ghana and Nigeria are the two most important partners in ECOWAS.
Nigerians are often left feeling that Ghana outsmarts them at every turn. A good example is Accra winning the right to host the Secretariat of the African Continental Free Trade Area. In my honest opinion, our government acted stupidly and deserved to lose.
Over the last decade, several foreign companies have re-located to Ghana. They have continued to target all their products to the Nigerian market. Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire have gone behind our back to sign an interim Economic Partnership Agreement with the EU. The recent closure of our borders has drawn the ire of some Western powers.
In December 2019, Ghana indicated that it would consider joining the new Eco currency that is being brokered by France to replace the West African CFA. Nigerians regard it as a stab on the back. Nigerian traders are having a hard time in Ghana after the government brought a law requiring them to deposit US$300,000 in the bank before they could start any business. Many shops owned by Nigerians have been closed down and their owners hounded and humiliated.
Last year, more than 50,000 Fulani herdsmen and their cattle turned in Ghana, armed to the teeth with AK47s and other sophisticated weapons. Ghanaian President Nana Dankwa Akufo-Addo gave an executive order to chase them out of his country. He gave Ghanaians the right to kill and barbecue any cow that trespasses on their farmland, with a stiff warning to the effect that, "Ghana is not Nigeria".
The violence, lawlessness and anomie that characterise our country today place us on ground zero in the prestige of nations. I am the last to defend, echoing Chinua Achebe, any Nigerian who goes abroad and defecates on another man's compound. We must therefore do all it takes to redeem our image if we are to win the respect of Ghana and indeed the rest of the world.
Such a gross violation of the Vienna Conventions on the sanctity of diplomatic legations cannot stand. Ghana must be made to pay. But we must do it in accordance with due process and in conformity with the spirit of the laws. I suspect it to be a high-stakes diplomatic game to trigger a showdown between our two countries so as to orchestrate the collapse of our much-cherished ECOWAS.
Ours has been the most successful regional economic community on the continent, for which Nigeria underwrites 75 percent of the operating budget. The world powers covet the vast mineral resources of our region and they want to unleash chaos so that we would become a dead carcass like the DRC. We must not fall for the bait.
When you pull off your clothes to have a wash by the riverside after a hard day's work on the farm, you do not give a chase to the madman who picks up your clothes and flees.

"The emancipation of women, the achievement of full equality between the sexes, is one of the most important, though less acknowledged prerequisites of peace. The denial of such equality perpetrates an injustice against one half of the world's population and promotes in men harmful attitudes and habits that are carried from the family to the workplace, to political life, and ultimately to international relations. There are no grounds, moral, practical, or biological, upon which such denial can be justified. Only as women are welcomed into full partnership in all fields of human endeavour will the moral and psychological climate be created in which international peace can emerge," UNDP.
This was demonstrated by Kigali Veterans Co-operation Society [KVCS] commonly known as Ndabaga members who ended their 44-days of pitching camp at the Germany embassy.
This association is made up of women who served in the Rwanda Defence Forces (RDF) and those whose husbands died during and after the liberation.
They are thus part of the struggle—the patriots who fought and ousted the despotic regime of Juvenal Habyarimana, in 1994.
"The association does not call itself Ndabaga by accident. The name has big historical connotations. There was a man who was serving in the King's palace, but had not had a chance to produce a boy. He had only girls. He therefore had no baby boy to inherit his wealth, when he grew old, since girls were not allowed to do so. The elder daughter (Ndabaga) took the challenge and disguised as a boy, in order to take over his fathers estate. The father allowed her but knew that both (father and daughter), would be killed if discovered. As expected, the girl was discovered at the palace masquerading as a boy hence, her father was summoned. But when the father narrated the whole story behind the disguise, to the King, he and the daughter were instead rewarded with many cows and a big chunk of land. From then, the girl by the name of Nbaga became a hero. She went further to be involved in active combat to protect the King," says Dr. Eugene Ndabaga.
Dr. Ndabaga also admits that his father gave him the name (Ndabaga) because of the historical connotation it carries.
"I also feel great to have such a name," he adds jokingly.
The women had pitched camp at the embassy to protest the arrest of the Chief of State Protocol, Rose Kabuye by the German police in Frankfurt. The implication is far reaching and shows how Rwandans and women in particular are ready to defend their country.
Rwandan women are no longer the ones we used to see in the backyard of our homes. They have gone beyond cooking and baby sitting, to defending their nation, whenever necessary.
This is a great sign of a transformed society embracing not only the fraternity of the weak, but also national cause. When Rwanda gave women a chance to come up in the process of rebuilding the nation, some pessimists ridiculed the trend of events.
They are thus proved wrong by the 'dividends', we get every day—they are subjected to total silence.
The Ndabaga women 'show of cause', should tell men and women who think that their emancipation is useless, to rethink otherwise. They are a power to reckon with.
You cannot achieve sustainable social, political and economic development when women are sidelined. Their contribution cuts across a number of factors, vital to improve people's lifestyles and livelihoods.
Women however, still lag behind in the Rwandan society generally, and they therefore need a great push to be at the same levels at their male counterparts.
The underlying reasons are enormous as many, still nurse the inherited social stereotypes. Generally, the conditions under which African women have been participating in the development process have not enabled them, to enhance their capacity to utilize their physical and intellectual energies in promoting sustainable development.
Educational policies and plans have also limited the ability of women to fully utilize their intellectual energies in the management of their economies.
African states inherited gender stereotyped educational systems from the colonial states. This is what a country like Rwanda, is trying to reverse for the betterment of the whole society—a harsh history that was characterized by social inequalities.
They therefore need role models like Ndabaga Women Veterans Association. The association is so inspiring not only because of the historical name they have, but also the consistency it shows. The women have vowed to go on until justice is delivered to Rose Kabuye and Rwanda in general.
Alluta continua!

By Sean Yoong
Like many office-bound employees, Eddy Kwong looks forward to Fridays – in his case, because he can swap his corporate clothes for a chef's apron every weekend. Despite having a full-time job as a marketing officer, Kwong also operates a home-based supper club, welcoming strangers into his Sri Petaling apartment to taste his family's cooking on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
Such supper clubs serve as an alternative to restaurants, specifically for food lovers who crave a more distinctive dining experience. But they're also becoming a way for some corporate workers to satisfy their secret passion for hosting and cooking, without being forced to leave their day jobs or take the financial risk of launching a full-blown restaurant.
One possible challenge? How to juggle white-collar responsibilities with the rigours of a supper club, which extend beyond purchasing and preparing fresh food (plus the chore of cleaning up after the customers have left). Kwong started his supper club with his brother and sister-in-law in August 2013, and the three of them have been consistently busy creating new recipes, promoting their business and responding to enquiries and bookings.
"I try to sleep earlier everyday now, because I need more energy," Kwong says with a laugh. His private kitchen, called Chyuan's Tiffin Underground Supper Club, dishes out delicacies with Chinese, Thai and Peranakan influences; specialities include Mee Hoon Siam (painstakingly prepared with sauces made step-by-step in Kwong's kitchen without commercial tom yam paste), raw prawn salads and steamed pumpkin puddings.
The economic benefits of spearheading a supper club remain uncertain. Kwong generally charges an average of RM95 per guest, with a minimum of four people per session. He acknowledges his family's profits have totalled "thousands of ringgit" after nearly a year, bolstered by positive publicity in food blogs and Chinese-language newspapers, but that's still far from wildly lucrative.
Nevertheless, Kwong insists there are other more fulfilling rewards, such as the pleasure of meeting hundreds of new people and seeing them enjoy his food. "I'd advise anyone who wants to do this to go ahead and try it," he says. "Whatever happens, you wouldn't lose much by exploring the opportunity. The cost of the investment is low – and if it doesn't work out, you can quit anytime."
"Providing the best food and experience"
K.K. Teoh, who works in the banking sector and runs a Saturday-evening private kitchen with his Vietnamese wife, notes that since the road to economic success might be long and winding, the initial focus should simply be on "providing the best food and experience."
The couple's supper club, called Cute Ball Kitchen, has operated at their Petaling Jaya home since February, serving a unique mix of Vietnamese cuisine and baked French treats (pic). So far, they've covered the cost of their ingredients but have not turned a significant profit.
Learning to adapt to the target market is the cornerstone of helming a supper club, especially since such initiatives are still new to Malaysia. At first, Teoh charged RM55 per guest, but he later revised the price to RM88 because many patrons wanted a wider sampling of the couple's offerings, which include slow-braised caramelised catfish in claypot, fried squid cakes and buttery madeleines.
Supper clubs must also work hard to convince customers who hesitate to pay prices that seem steep for home-cooked meals, even if the recipes are inventively crafted and remain unavailable at most restaurants.
"A lot of people are still not familiar with how it works," Teoh points out. "They may not be aware that dishes are usually prepared with premium ingredients – bought at retail, not wholesale prices – and made carefully from scratch. It may take a few days just to prepare for one dinner for a small number of guests."

I used a jar of Ragu® spaghetti sauce to make dinner for the grandkids awhile back. It went against my standards but they like it. I was surprised to find I liked it too! When I was at the grocery store recently I texted my daughter in law for the brand of the sauce. I'd forgotten already! I wanted to have a jar for a quick dinner when needed. Having a jar of sauce on hand we actually like will be golden. Continue reading

Mexican "Chopped" Chili
I hadn't planned a meal, and I didn't want to go out to dinner. I had just enough energy and interest to throw some contents of the fridge and a few from the cupboard into a skillet and call it a meal. I'd use the small container of beef stewing meat I'd thawed several days earlier for another dish. Since that dish didn't happen, it was going to be repurposed into a Mexican dish ala one of our favorite shows, "Chopped". Continue reading

iFast Corporation - A Weak Start To The Year
- iFAST's 1Q19 results below expectations, hit by drop in commission for unit trusts and higher costs.
- AUA resumes uptrend after temporary pause in 4Q18, +8.7% q-o-q to a record high of S$8.75bn.
- Maintain AUA growth but factor in higher costs.
- Retain HOLD call; Target Price lowered to S$1.05 on the back of the cut in earnings.
Short-term volatile; long-term positive.
- Near term, market volatility will continue to affect IFAST CORPORATION LTD. (SGX:AIY), while its China operation is still expected to be loss-making. Longer term, iFAST has made significant progress in the last 2-3 years by broadening the range of investment products and services on its platforms and laying the infrastructure to kick-start its business in China, a market it believes will be key in the future.
- iFAST is now a more integrated wealth management platform, with five key product groups – unit trusts, ETFs, bonds, stocks and insurance, and presence in five markets – Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, China and India.
More room for AUA growth.
- We maintain our AUA growth assumption of 5% p.a. for FY19F and FY20F. We believe that there is still room for growth as the current AUA level remains small, at about 1% the size of the asset management industry in Singapore.
Weak 1Q19.
- iFAST's 1Q19 results below expectations, hit by drop in commission for unit trusts and higher costs. AUA, however, managed to register a record high of S$8.75bn, up 8.7% q-o-q.
Maintain HOLD with lower Target Price of S$1.05.
- We have cut our earnings forecast by 26-28% after factoring in higher costs. Maintain HOLD call with a lower Target Price of S$1.05, still based on the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) valuation methodology, given that it is a cash-led business.
Key Risks to Our View:
WHAT'S NEW - A weak start to the year; 1Q19 results below expectations
1Q19 results below expectations, hit by drop in commission for unit trusts and higher costs.
- iFAST reported net revenue of S$27.2m (-12% y-o-y, -3% q-o-q). The decrease in revenue was mainly due to a decrease in front-end commission income for unit trusts. This was partly offset by an increase in transaction fee from newer products including bonds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and stocks.
- Total operating costs increased by 14% y-o-y, mainly due to higher staff cost (annual salary adjustment and increase in headcount) and higher depreciation charges (additional assets and adoption of new accounting rules). Hence, net profit for 1Q19 plunged 43% y-o-y and 40% q-o-q to S$1.5m.
- iFAST's China operation is still loss-making, registering a net loss of S$1.13m, similar to the previous few quarters. A first interim DPS of 0.75 Scts has been declared.
- Overall, revenue and net profit account for 23% and 16% of our FY19F forecasts respectively; below expectations.
AUA resumes uptrend after temporary pause in 4Q18.
- iFAST's AUA started at a relatively low level of S$8.05bn at the beginning of 2019. With improved market conditions, the group's AUA grew 8.7% q-o-q to a record high of S$8.75bn as at end-1Q19.
Growth in AUA for all key markets.
- AUA for Singapore/Hong Kong/Malaysia grew 8.0%/10.2%/10.6% on a q-o-q basis as at end-1Q19. With the launch of the Shariah Discretionary Managed Portfolio in March 2019 and the retail bonds platform for both B2C and B2B clients in April 2019, we can expect stronger growth for Malaysia going forward.
- Singapore is still the key contributor to AUA, accounting for 66.6% of the total AUA, followed by Hong Kong with 23.2% contribution and Malaysia, 7.9%. In terms of products, 84.4% are unit trusts, while the other products – stocks, ETFs, bonds, accounted for < 10% each.
Applying for Private Fund Management licence in China.
- With this licence, iFAST China will be able to issue Private Funds with discretionary mandate for accredited investors. Subject to the approval of the Private Fund Management licence application, iFAST China is working to incorporate a Private Fund Management company in Shanghai and eventually launch its own Private Fund, which will focus on onshore investments in the secondary market.
Maintain AUA growth but factor in higher costs.
- We maintain our AUA growth assumption of 5% growth for FY19F and FY20F but factor in higher operating costs going forward. This leads to a 26-28% cut in earnings for FY19F and FY20F.
- Near term, market volatility will continue to affect iFAST, while its China operation is still expected to be loss-making. Longer term, iFAST is expected to benefit from the broadening of products and services on its platforms.
- Since our downgrade of call in February after the release of iFAST's 4Q18 results (see report: iFast Corporation - DBS Group 2019-02-20: Limited Upside), iFAST's share price has been relatively flat. We maintain our HOLD call but Target Price is lowered to S$1.05 on the back of the cut in earnings.
- Our Target Price is based on the Dividend Discount Model (DDM) valuation methodology, given that it is a cash-led business with a dividend payout ratio of 60% (excluding China operation).

For rural municipalities dealing with unpaid property taxes from oil and gas companies, Alberta Premier Jason Kenney suggests communities take legal action under the Municipal Government Act to recoup their lost revenue.
But he also acknowledged that many companies who haven't paid their taxes are dealing with bankruptcy and don't have the money to settle their debts.

'Can't wring money from a stone': Kenney says bankrupt companies can't pay taxes Back to video
"They simply don't have the cash, in some cases, to pay these property taxes, and if these businesses go under there's no revenue stream from taxation going to these municipalities," Kenney said Tuesday.
"You can't wring money from a stone."
The Rural Municipalities Association said Monday that oil and gas companies owe about $173 million in property taxes to the province's rural municipalities.
At the time, the association called on the province to help municipalities collect their unpaid dues, saying they have limited recourse for collecting from companies who have declared bankruptcy and that the unpaid property taxes are leaving some communities with major holes in their budgets.

text: 03walkalot 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2012 Greetings all! Yesterday I ordered a Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 VOS from GC and the salesman stated that they had one in stock. However when I got home I received a "backorder" notification from GC. The notification did say that they have more on order and will ship once they come in. Does anyone know if Gibson is still producing this specific 335? Something tells me they are not and it's only a matter of time before GC gives me the bad news.

Who would you choose to support Zeppelin?
Burning Ember replied to andyc's topic in Led Zeppelin Master ForumThat's another good pick. Grohl gets my utmost respect for his talent and his utmost respect for rock history.
Who would you choose to support Zeppelin?
Burning Ember replied to andyc's topic in Led Zeppelin Master ForumI think Plant likes those guys, and the one song I heard would be cool. I agree that Aerosmith would be cool. But I'd like to see Metallica and Zeppelin on a double bill. Old school fans may disagree, but I still think it would be epic.
US Reunion?
Burning Ember replied to Jahara56's topic in Led Zeppelin Master ForumI think there is a *chance* A small, but definite, chance of a few US dates. I'm certainly hoping...
Me too! Most of the songs off of Mighty Rearranger would be a good fit too- if they chose to do that. All the King's Horses and Tin Pan Valley would be wonderful.
New Album with Plant,Jones,Page,Bonham
Burning Ember replied to The Wizard's topic in Zep PollsOf course I want new music. I think most would. The only reason I would vote "no" because of their larger than life legacy. Expectations would be so high, that even a very solid album by all other standards could come out as a mediocre effort and would give the naysayers a reason to say "I told you so". At the same time, trying to 'top' or 'outdo' themselves would make it seem too forced and contrived. Anyway, I would love to see it because I believe that if they did decide to do it, that they would all expect the very best out of it. If they really want to do it, and enjoy making it, it will be good.
Led Zeppelin's OVERALL best song
Burning Ember replied to JimmyPageZoSo56's topic in Zep PollsI voted for Achilles. Both others are classic, and perhaps it's because they are still in heavy rotation, but it seems out of those 3 that Achilles does the best job of summing up the energy and uniqueness of Zep.
Favorite song off of Zeppelin IV?
Burning Ember replied to BlackDog71's topic in Zep PollsSo very tough... I thought it may be a little more even spread,but my pick of "Levee" seems to be the overwhelming leader so far...
Favorite song off of Zeppelin I?
Burning Ember replied to BlackDog71's topic in Zep PollsOf course it's tough, but I'm going with GT/BT.
Who thinks they will tour?
Burning Ember replied to ludwigking's topic in O2 Arena Concert, London - 12.10.07I think they will play some more shows. In what capacity, I can't guess, but only hope. I believe most would agree that an extensive world tour is improbable. However, I get the vibe that they're open to more than just this one show at this point. I think their legacy is something that is very important. With this show (though I wasn't there), they seemed to have set it right. On one hand, ending it that way would be great. On the other, it would be a shame to not continue on a bit. Clearly-at their age and place in life- they are not looking to re-create 1975. But they seem to have proven they can reunite with energy and integrity. Here's what I would love to see happen that I believe is within the realm of possibility: Get back in the studio and record a new album (?!) All new stuff. I can't say I was a fan of Walking Into Clarksdale, but I believe that with the four of these guys together and with this new spark, they are capable of writing a solid full length release. A couple of festivals with some other big names (I know some may disagree, but a one time show with Metallica would be about the biggest bill ever) and limited date world tour. I don't know much about tours/schedules, but if they make a few stops at each continent, that would be realistic. Even 4-5 shows in the U.S. (where I reside) would be fantastic. I'd go to either coast if I had to and would definitely love a Chicago show (only 6-7 hours away) At any rate, I think a steady paced approach to writing a final, solid -but slightly more humble- chapter in their larger than life legacy could really be the icing on the cake.

The quality and relevance of what happens in prisons are measurably improved once prisons are seen, and have to act, as an integral part of society and the community. The provision of health care has benefited a great deal from the involvement of national and local agencies whose professional expertise is in health and education. HM Inspectorate of Prisons (HMIP) has developed the World Health Organisation's concept of a 'healthy prison' (WHO, 1998) to judge the treatment of prisoners and the conditions in which they are held against four core criteria. Partnership working between the Prison Service and NHS was formalised in April 2000, and the majority of prisons have transferred the commissioning of health care to the NHS. This paper considers the challenges and developments of partnership working in improving health outcomes for prisoners, and identifies future improvements.

Forget the gym, hang up your running shoes, put the dumbbells down, there's a new form of exercise taking over, and if you didn't know already, it's been on your doorstep all this time.
That's right, the green-fingered Brits have been hiding the secret to staying in shape all along – regular gardening.
With more time than ever being spent at home, it's time to put on your gardening gloves and pick up your trowel, as outdoor power tools brand Husqvarna reveals 5 gardening secrets to take your fitness to the next level, by simply ticking off gardening jobs from your 'to-do' list.
From mowing the lawn to planting spring flowers, each activity will be sure to make your heart beat faster and help you reach those recommended 10,000 daily steps.
Coming in at number one spot is the art of splitting wood. Ready to give you the arms of a lumberjack this gardening chore will burn 266 calories in just half an hour. To ensure you don't throw your back out, remember to bend at the knees and use the power in your legs.
Often requiring the use of heavier garden equipment, hedge trimming is known to provide a workout which can see up to a whopping 400 calories burned per hour. To put it into perspective, that's the equivalent to attending an average spin class.
SeeFive-minute gardening tips from the National Trust
If a shorter burst of exercise is what you're after, then dig out your lawn mower for a quick 35-minute garden spruce-up. A more relaxed form of exercise, pushing your lawn mower for this length of time could see you burn up to 200 calories. That's earned you a double gin and tonic.
Not only bringing your garden to life, potting plants will do wonders for your mental wellbeing and help provide a lighter form of exercise. One hour's worth of potting your favourite hyacinths and daffodils will help burn over 260 calories, which is more than taking a Tai Chi class.
SeeSolving the myths about peonies –7 things you didn't know about the nation's favourite flower
If you have only 17 minutes to spare however, then grab your rake and rid your lawn of twigs and leaves for a quick 63 calorie burner.
It comes as no surprise then that the below activities for an average 185-pound person will burn the following calories, in just half an hour:
- Planting trees: 200 calories
- Digging: 222 calories
- Sacking grass: 178
- Carrying and stacking wood: 222
So next time you reach for that at-home DVD workout, be sure to place it back and head outdoors to tick off your gardening 'to-do' list one exercise at a time.

Tax exempt public charities (Charity), such as schools, churches and hospitals, are subject to tort liability for accidents, etc. To help segregate liability, charities may consider owning the property in a separate entity, such as a Type I Supporting Organization.
The Type I Supporting Organization (TI-SO), organized as a separate corporation under state law, is described in Section 509(a) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code and in Treas. Reg. §1.509(a)-4(g) (1). The newly created TI-SO would be "operated, supervised, or controlled" by the Charity through its right of appointment of a majority of the TI-SO's officers and directors. In fact, the Charity and the TI-SO can have identical officers and directors if desired. All of the TI-SO's revenue can pass solely to the Charity, in a relationship equivalent to a corporate parent and its wholly owned subsidiary in a for-profit context.
This TI-SO design can shield the Charity from liability; if there is a lawsuit against the TI-SO arising from a tort on the property, the Charity's assets could be protected. In one case, even with identity of officers and directors, by itself, a plaintiff could not pierce the corporate veil and impose liability against the Charity. See, e.g., United States Fire Insurance Company v. Allied Towing Corp., 966 F.2d 820 (4th Cir.1992), where the Court held that, where "no other justification for piercing the veil appears in the record," the fact that the two corporations "effectively have identical officers and directors [is] alone insufficient to permit the piercing of the corporate veil."
Thus, a Charity can create a non profit corporation under state law to own property and seek IRS approval as a TI-SO to help protect the Charity's assets.
