4 to 5 pounds beef short ribs, cut flanken-style or Korean-style, about ¼-inch thick
2 pears, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
12 garlic cloves, peeled
8 teaspoons grated peeled, fresh ginger
1 cup (240 ml) soy sauce
¾ cup (170 g) Demerara sugar or brown sugar
4 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons doenjang (soy bean paste)
1 tablespoon gochujang (red pepper paste, optional – only if you want a spicy version)
4 scallions, sliced thinly + more for garnish
sesame seeds for garnish
1.Have your butcher cut beef short ribs across the bones, otherwise known as flanken-style, Korean-style, or even Miami-style, about ¼-inch thick maximum. This can normally be done if you purchase meat at Asian supermarkets. Wash meat and dry with paper towels.
2.In a bowl of a large food processor (at least a 6-cup processor), whirl the pear, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, rice vinegar, doenjang, gochujang (if using) until smooth, about 30 seconds. Stir in the scallions.
3.Prepare two 9 x 13 baking dishes or disposable aluminum pans, enough to lay the short ribs flat in 2 to 3 layers. Spread some marinade at the bottom of the container, then place your first layer of ribs down. Repeat until you have 2 to 3 layers, with marinade in between. Pour the remaining on top.
4.Cover tightly and place in refrigerator. Marinate for at least 4 hours or up to 12 hours, turning meat once or twice to ensure even coating.
5.Preheat your grill to 375 F / 190 C. Scrape grate clean with a grill brush and oil grate, then cover with lid until target temperature is reached.
6.When the grill is ready, cook the short ribs, about 3 to 4 minutes each side, or until desired doneness is reached. Cook each batch with the lid down, as much as possible. Repeat until all ribs are done.
7.Cut between each rib for smaller, bite-sized portions. Sprinkle with scallions and sesame seeds.

Government Contracts Attorney Eric Crusius spoke to the Financial Times on President Trump's executive order that "bans the purchase, import and use of any foreign technology that poses an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States." Previously, President Trump had banned Huawei from selling 5G telecoms products in the U.S., resulting in rippling effects within the technology trade between U.S. and China. For the next 80 days, Homeland Security is creating a list of specific technologies that pose a threat.
According to Mr. Crusius, "This is very broad, and could have implications even beyond what the focus was of those who wrote it."
"There is a review process, but it is not one that screams out that it will be fair or open to hearing companies out," said Mr. Crusius.

Well, these missions didn't actually WORK CORRECTLY until today, so that is why you're getting the notification TODAY. The first 4 days of these was just to see if anyone would notice. Had they worked correctly from the start, I'd already have my diploma in Medium and Light tanks but dem glitches...
Seems to be working today though, so CONGRATS to Wargaming for finally getting it fixed. +1
You can only get one Diploma token per day per class. So no, you would not have completed any of the Diploma yet.
I'm going to guess you've misread something.
The only glitch I've seen is completing the TD 201 mission while not surviving. Otherwise the missions were working fine since day 1.
I got a 10k on a TD over the week-end, got the Roller TD tokens every day, and got some LT and HT missions done.

Hounslow Council is pleased to announce the launch of a 12-month trial of Mobike dockless hire bikes in the borough
Published: Thursday, 25th January 2018
Following a successful trial in neighbouring Ealing, the distinctive hire bikes will be rolled out in phases across the Chiswick and Brentford area from February and will provide an alternative and convenient way to make short trips in and around the borough.
The bikes feature an integrated 'smart lock' which allows them to be GPS tracked, as well as locking the back wheel when not being used. This means the expensive 'docking station' such as those needed for the Santander cycles is not needed, making them more suitable for use in outer London as there is no cost to the council for the scheme. To hire the bikes users download the Mobike app (Android , IOS), fill in their personal details, pay the £1 refundable deposit, and are ready to go. Journeys cost 50p per half hour. Deposits are refunded as soon as a user decides to leave the scheme.
Throughout the trial we will be monitoring closely how the scheme is used. Users can communicate views on the trial with Mobike via their 24 hour contact centre on 0330 131 9789, if there are issues with bikes or their accounts they can be contacted via firstname.lastname@example.com, or using the Mobike App. Mobike will be providing us with regular updates and feedback throughout the trial. We are particularly interested in ensuring that the bikes don't lead to obstruction of the footway or take up cycle parking spaces used by existing cyclists, and will encourage people to report such incidences during the trial.
Cllr Amrit Mann, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Environment said: "Encouraging more local journeys to be made on two wheels forms a key part of our plan to increase physical activity levels and so improve health, reduce transport related pollution and help ease congestion. We think this scheme offers a convenient new option for anyone looking to make a short trip in and around our borough when they don't necessarily have their own bike. We are really keen to hear what people think about the scheme so that we can decide whether the trial should be made permanent so please do let us know your about your experiences!"

You have brand standards (don't you?). You have a marketing plan (right?). You think you're ready to take the world by storm. But there's one piece missing:
a messaging platform.
The messaging platform doesn't always get the love it deserves because it's often tucked into a branding guide or a marketing plan, so most people don't recognize it for what it is. More likely, however, it's overlooked altogether. Continue reading

The Sweetest Things
There are desserts, and then there are these sensational sweet things at Marina Bay Sands that will tickle the taste buds, look great on Instagram, and impress your dinner date to no end. We present six special selections that will keep you coming back for more.
Coffee Napoleon at DB Bistro & Oyster Bar
Executive Pastry Chef Mandy Pan and Executive Chef Jonathan Kinsella sought to incorporate Asian elements into the desserts of the restaurant's predominantly French menu. This "symphony of coffee, hazelnut and gula melaka" comes in a cup with coffee cream, topped by chocolate crumble and separated by crunchy filo dough, cacao nibs, and hazelnut tuille. Chocolate coffee cream, hazelnut praline cream and homemade gula melaka ice cream add more decadent delight.
Baked Alaska at CUT
This version of the Baked Alaska features coconut cake, coconut sorbet, kaya and pandan parfait, topped with browned meringue, sabayon and a soya sauce reduction. Its inspiration? Kaya toast and soft-boiled egg with a dash of soya sauce. The coconut represents the kaya part of the breakfast staple, and the sabayon, the soft-boiled egg. The sorbet offers a pleasant, cool surprise.
Cinnamon Roll at RISE
These spongy, buttery rolls are given a gourmet twist with ingredients such as German cinnamon and French bread flour. A topping of cream cheese adds just the right tanginess to their mild sweetness. Simple as it looks, but you will not be able to keep yourself from going for seconds.
Dessert Platter at Renku Bar & Lounge
The French-inspired high-tea offerings here are hard to resist even if you aren't normally a fan of sweet treats, especially when they look as impressive as its (pictured from left) Banana Mango Yogurt Cake, Pistachio Strawberry Cake, Yuzu Cream Cheese Mille-Feuille and Chocolate Majestic Cake. The best things in life sometimes do come in bite-sizes.
Fried Oreos at Yardbird Southern Table & Bar
Oreos are coated in batter, dipped in rice crispies and deep-fried, resulting in crunchy, crackly batter, crisp cookies and a creamy filling that brings to mind deeply comforting childhood treats. This version is served with pounded Oreo biscuits, pecan nuts and homemade vanilla ice cream. No points for guessing the age group of its top customers.
20 Layer Cake at LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar
A layer of chocolate mousse, a layer of chocolate sponge and a layer of peanut butter—then repeat until you attain the culinary greatness that is the 20 Layer Cake. A signature dish at the New York and Las Vegas outlets of this restaurant chain, the 20 Layer Cake was inspired by the fact that everyone in the US likes peanut butter, almost everyone in the world likes chocolate, and it fits well into the Asian concept of sharing plates, says Singapore Executive Pastry Chef Jonathan Allaert. It's hard to disagree.

The Fall 50 - Run
View Member's Race Log View other race reports
Pre-race routine:
Had to take the bus up to Gills rock
By the time we got up there didn't have a lot of time. Just enough to put some extra gear in a bag for the half way exchange.
The plan was to try and maintain 11 min/mile pace, with a slow jog at the end of each mile.After the first few miles I met up with a friend that I missed at the start and we ended up running together. Having someone to talk with made the miles go a lot faster. I was a little worried a few times when I checked my watch to see we were running under 10 min pace. But was feeling ok so I just went with it. It was just so great having someone to run with I just wanted to keep it up till at least after 30 miles. I had my water pack filled with ice tea and pockets filled with fig newtons, but they work for me so I tried to make sure I was eating.
20 - 30 mph winds out the the NW, good thing we were heading south. A few times we headed west into the wind but it could have been worse.
As we got closer to 20 miles I started looking forward to the 28 mile mark were they would have soup and sandwiches.
Passed through the half way mark in around 4:20, so I felt good about the fact that I had banked an hour for my goal of making it under 10 hours.
At 28 miles had some food and changed out of the Hokas, hated to do it but I was getting a blister.
After a little longer stop it was very hard to get moving again. The change of shoes felt a little tight, thought I would wait till the next exchange to loosen them up. They started to feel better until the blister popped. Stopped at one the aid stations and they put a bandaid on it.
After 30 miles I felt like my pace was slowing a little and let my running partner go ahead, I didn't want to slow him. Now I was focused on the 40 mile mark. If I could hold on I had plenty of time to get in by 10 hrs. The next couple stations I was in and out before my firend and started to get a little ahead of him. Legs were hurting a lot so I took a couple more asprin, not sure how much they would help
It was nice having the relay going on, it help put more people out on the course so I wouldn't have to run alone. Our race numbers had Solo on them so they would cheer us on.
After the 30 mile mark I started taking my 1 min walk at the end of each mile. My watch mile markers were about 1/2 mile off from the course mile markers so I took my breaks with the course markers which made it a little harder to know what my pace was.
After I hit mile 40 I couldn't believe how good I was feeling, even though my legs hurt a lot I was still keeping a pace under 11 min. At this point I started counting down to mile 45, 10 miles was still too big of a number. At 45 I felt like I could pick the pace up. I couldn't believe after 45 miles I was able to run 10 min miles. The final mile was around 9 min pace. Couldn't believe I was coming in under 11 min pace. It was so great finishing my first 50 mile run.
What would you do differently?:
I don't think I could have had a better race.
It would have been nice if I could have refilled my pack with more tea instead of the water and gatorade.
Post race
Warm down:
After i finiished I waited for my friend to come in, he was only 9 minutes back.
It was so cool having runners from the teams come to me after the race and tell me how great I did. One team said I looked really good out there. They saw younger (does that mean I am old?) runners out there that looked like they were dead.
Maybe this distance is a better fit for me than the marathon.

CumInCAD is a Cumulative Index about publications in Computer Aided Architectural Design supported by the sibling associations ACADIA, CAADRIA, eCAADe, SIGraDi, ASCAAD and CAAD futures
In that situation much benefit can be obtained from collaboration with practice. We decided to give the conference the title CAAD: Education - Research and Practice to state the importance of practice as a test bench.
The conference papers cover education and research in depth in many important areas and give a good overview, whereas the practical theme is more or less missing, indicating, that experience here is still modest.
At the lecture material market and the exhibition the situation is opposite and shows state of art in practical use.

Fresh-rolled oats, or stale processed flakes: Which sounds better for breakfast?
If you like the fresh idea, KoMo's FlicFloc is right up your alley. Its hand operated design brings an entirely different engineering approach to grain flaking. Rather than using traditional cylindrical rollers, the FlicFloc's tapered rollers rotate on ball bearings in a case of laminated beechwood. Turning the crank is literally child's play with the FlicFloc. Simply secure to the table with the supplied clamp (up to 78 mm), fill the hopper, and start turning for fast-action flaking. Standing just 184 mm tall, the FlicFloc won't take up much space in your cupboard. Glass receptacle is included
The flaker is perfect for rolling all softer grains like oat groats, except corn. The KoMoFlocino is your complete, all-in-one manual flaking center!
The Benefits of having a Flaker or Stone MIll!
The Grain
Grain seeds can be seen as a condensed and sleeping plant. It contains all the genes, nutrients/building blocks necessary to reproduce. Grains are an extremely nutrient dense food for its size. Whole grain is rich in vitamins, bio-available minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, enzymes, phytochemicals, antioxidants, carbohydrates and aromatic elements. It is preferable to store your whole grain, which stores well, and to mill or roll only your daily flour/grain requirements. This will ensure that the flour or rolled grain is completely fresh, optimally nutritious and deliciously palatable. As you can see nutrition lies in nothing but the whole grain!
The Flour
Any milling or rolling process kills the grain, and oxygen is introduced into the equation. After the processing of grains, spoiling, oxidation and decomposition is a natural and inevitable process, similar to that of a grated apple which oxidizes and turns brown. Freshly stone-milled flour is packed with nutrients, but has a limited shelf life of only a couple of days, as the essential fatty acids, amino acids and antioxidants in the germ start to oxidize and turn rancid once milled/rolled. In fact, the essential fatty acids turn into a toxic trans-fatty acid. You can store conventional white and brown flour for much longer, since the germ with its spoiling qualities are removed, but these flours are almost totally devoid of nutrition. In most conventionally milled flours, the germ which contains almost all of the essential nutrients, is discarded due to its spoiling qualities. Sadly even some commercial stone millers use the process of de-germing to separate and remove the germ from the flour in order to enhance shelf life. However, with a stone mill in your house, you can take full control by milling grain only on demand. Home stone milling ensure no oxidization or nutrient loss which in turn offers numerous health benefits. When previously wheat- or gluten-intolerant individuals start to enjoy freshly milled organic whole grain, it has been found that the intolerance disappears almost immediately and consumers gain the added benefits of losing weight while gaining vitality.
The Mill Meisters
KoMo's stone mills bring the talents and resources of Wolfgang Mock and Peter Koidl, with their combined experience of nearly half a century of designing and manufacturing household stone mills, into your home environment. Their shared vision is a reliable mill in every kitchen, making healthy living available, affordable and practical for every household. Best Prices!

Behavior: the joints, tendons and ligaments belong to the liver system, which is the structural basis and important channel for the liver to reach the release strip. Computers, televisions and cars make people sit still for a long time, make many people's joints, tendons and ligaments stiff, lose flexibility and flexibility, and make the passage of liver drain strip to the system blocked. Sitting for a long time or not good at activities, or even never having physical exercises, a lot of calories and fat in the body can not be consumed, and finally converted into fat. When these fat are deposited under the skin, it shows obesity. When it is deposited in the liver, it causes fatty liver.
Countermeasures: try to reduce the time of sitting, or sit for a while to change the posture, stand up and exercise, and do a waist massage halfway. For those who need to sit for a long time due to work, do not exceed 8 hours in a row. During work, they should have about 10 minutes of activities, or free walking, or exercise, etc. every 2 hours. You can exercise more when you have time.
Behavior: excessive drinking will reduce the liver's ability to purify blood, lead to the increase of toxins in the body, induce liver damage and a variety of diseases. In addition, drinking alcohol is also easy to lead to liver poisoning and induce hepatitis. Long term excessive drinking is easy to lead to cirrhosis. Drinking more than two glasses (25ml) of high-density wine every day will damage the liver.
Countermeasure: for some people, it's not practical for them to give up drinking completely. They often need social intercourse, there is no way not to drink. So the key is to drink less. If you have to drink, drink wisely. Don't drink one cup after another. Take your time. Drink one or two glasses of water after each drink. When you know to drink more, eat more high fiber food, such as grapes, bananas, almonds, and starch food, such as rice.
Behavior: detoxification in the body can be carried out through urination, perspiration and defecation. After getting up in the morning, urinate as soon as possible, which can discharge the accumulated toxin all night in time, so as to avoid the toxin staying in the body, leading to liver "poisoning".
Countermeasures: Although there is a sense of urination when getting up, but it is not too strong. The best way is to lie down and slowly rotate your body after waking up, properly exercise all joints of your body, and then curl your body sideways and slowly get up. In addition, do not urinate too fast or too hard. It is better to urinate in squatting position or lying on the side of the toilet to prevent falling and bruise.
Behavior: from prevention and health care to minor cold, take health care products if you are ill, and take medicine if you are ill. Drugs are everywhere in our lives. There are people bustling with pharmacies, special drug billboards, busy drug salesmen But our liver is suffering from these drugs, because it is easy to have drug interactions and affect the liver's ability to metabolize drugs.
Countermeasures: in addition to doctors prescription drugs, avoid taking other drugs by yourself. When a person with liver disease is hospitalized, the doctor should be informed of all the drugs he is currently taking, so as to serve as a reference for doctors when prescribing.
Behavior: according to nutrition experts, eating breakfast helps neutralize stomach acid and protect the liver, reducing the risk of pancreatitis, diabetes, gallstones, constipation and other diseases. Dr. hermit Suri, a holistic nutritionist in Ontario, Canada, said that a healthy breakfast can increase satiety and avoid liver damage.
Countermeasure: the quality of breakfast is very important. There are starch staple foods, high-quality protein rich foods, vegetables and fruits, which make you feel comfortable. This is a complete breakfast. Breakfast to eat high-quality protein food is very simple, eggs, soymilk, milk, cooked meat, tofu, low-fat cheese and so on. It's not hard to eat vegetables for breakfast. For example, it's easy to eat a bun with anise and egg filling, a soup noodles with vegetables in the bowl, a pimple soup with tomatoes in the bowl, or two steamed pumpkins. If you could add another spoon of nuts, it would be more perfect.
Behavior: oil is indispensable in life; fat is one of the essential nutrients for human body. Proper intake of fatty food can provide us with energy and maintain our normal physiological function. However, eating too much fatty food with high fat content is the taboo of healthy diet!
Countermeasures: don't eat too greasy food, in order to eat less and eat more, the cooking method should be based on steaming, boiling and stewing. Eat some balanced and light food. No matter where you eat, you should choose a lighter menu, so that you follow the normal pace of eating.
Behavior: these "foods" are usually high in calories, lack of nutrients, high in starch and fat, and full of chemicals, which are harmful to the human liver.
Countermeasures: eat less processed food, pay attention to the food label, especially the main ingredients. If there are preservatives and pigments, try to let children eat less. If the food looks too bright, too white, the color is not natural and so on should pay attention. Insist on eating 80-100g fruits or vegetables every day, eat fresh materials as much as possible, do it yourself as much as possible, and taste different.
Behavior: many people know that eating too much will increase gastrointestinal burden and induce fatty liver. Overeating not only damages the health of gastrointestinal tract, but also increases the free radicals in the body. The key role of the liver is to help the body deal with free radicals, eliminate toxins, and purify the blood. The more free radicals in human body, the more serious the damage of liver function.
Countermeasures: special emphasis should be placed on regular, regular and quantitative meals, and avoid overeating. In the first 1-3 days, try to control the intake of carbohydrate, greasy food and food with high sugar content, and eat more fruits, juice, vegetable soup and other things with less burden on the human body, so that the detoxification will be naturally smooth.
Behavior: stagnation of liver Qi or fast or slow will reflect a series of physical diseases: stomachache, abdominal pain, diarrhea, headache, chest distress, irregular menstruation, hyperplasia of mammary gland, hysteromyoma, macular hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, hypertension, etc. Ordinary people often can't stand the emotional impact of many times of anger and indignation, which will lead to liver Qi rebellion, liver Yang surge, and too much liver injury.
Countermeasures: we should consciously adjust our emotions, for example, when we are depressed or depressed, we should find more people to chat with, when we are angry or upset, we should transfer our emotions in time by doing something we are interested in, and learn to accept the reality, and face each day with tolerance and peace of mind.
Behavior: if you don't have enough sleep, you should not rest at the time of rest, which will cause the liver blood flow to be relatively insufficient, affect the nutrition and moisture of the liver cells, and lead to the decline of resistance. For those infected with hepatitis B virus, the damaged hepatocytes will be difficult to repair and may worsen.
Countermeasures: "late sleepers" should try their best to adjust their work and rest time. It's better to go to sleep before 11 o'clock every night to ensure that they can sleep for 7-8 hours every night, so as to effectively detoxify the liver and ensure overall health.

The end of the year is near and MOKO has announced its results for this time of the year. The results kept increasing and the new statistics are satisfying. They are a reflection of the previously taken strategic decision which was to focus on only one market. That market is for the students of US since they are targeted audience. We continued with that strategy since it gave an increase in all of the parts. Other than concentrating on one market, the plan was to leave other categories as well. There were new moves besides these ones, but these two stayed relevant after giving improved results. 'REC*IT continue to grow among the users since MOKO has a foothold that is strong in colleges of US. That foothold was previously established and it remained the same until now. The number of students is only getting bigger.
The most important achievements are the first launches that count 1,033,000. It is a milestone but we will keep on working for achieving even greater results in the future. The increase is 46% when it comes to Page Views. The number of added colleges is increased since MOKO's exposure has increased over time. The CEO of MOKO, Shripal Shah, proudly stated that surpassing their first million justified their belief in REC*IT and the value it provides college students as well as administrators. He added how sure and certain he is that the value will stay relevant. Even so, we are working on every detail to update the app. Our goal is to maintain their spot the way it is, without dropping to less positive results. The aim of MOKO is to keep going up using blockchain technology and algorithms to develop social media networking applications based on user behaviours.
Important Announcement
This achievement is a true milestone, but it is not an only update. We are quite excited to announce that we added more than 376,799 Unique Visitors. They are the ones responsible for over 71.6 million Page/Screen Views. That is about 190 Page/Screen Views on average per student. We are proud of that achievement and we take it pretty seriously. Since we saw this kind on an upgrade is possible, we are not planning on stopping. We received positive feedback from our users and we are planning to keep it that way. Our community is growing among the students and colleges step by step. These levels of engagement and the take-up of our REC*IT has only confirmed our beliefs that the product is engaging our targeted market – US students. Plus, new projects and updates are in the process.
We are still working on improving our app and enhancing the number of its launches. We are guessing the increase will continue over the time and that the future goals will be met. MOKO announces the results every quarter and the difference is visible. With having the last results in mind, we aim for more in a certain period of time.
The statistics say that their leading app REC*IT is growing with more than 889,000 first launches until 6th October 2016. REC*IT has achieved a certain success. The results are higher compared to the year before. It demonstrates the increase of 43% compared to last year. That means the number of first launches increased with 154,000 new launches. Besides that, the number of unique visitors has also grown. That number is 241,000 which means, that the increase demonstrates 65% more than in the year before at the same period. That is not all since screens that were viewed per session got 13 more, demonstrating the increase of 33% more in comparison to the previous year.
The CEO of MOKO states that their product has widely engaged the market of US students. The number of students has went up with the help of REC*IT take-up. MOKO has its future goals in mind and that is to revenue the growth. Besides that, the plan is to drive their sales. The plan is to do so by leveraging their leading position. With the help of new faces in the company, MOKO will take its business to a completely whole new level. Their aim is to forge more brand partnerships in the near future. As previously mentioned, the company has a new set of hands. They are experienced and have much expertise.
Mr. James is experienced in project development, public company management and in finance. He has more than 30 years of experience altogether. He has worked overseas in a few countries. Currently, he is MRJ Advisors's principal. Mr. James worked in several companies where he showed his capability and leadership. The capital he has been involved with is more than $2.5 billion, including debt raising as well. He is committed and hardworking, and statistics says it for itself. Other than that, he has done philanthropic work overseas, but in Australia too. He was fighting to promote employment that was long-termed.
Mr. Ross is a second new face with amazing and various experience. He has worked on many projects where he showed his skills and capability. With his and Mr. James's ideas, MOKO has big plans for its future. They are already working on new, improved projects. When it comes to Ross's positions, he is General Manager for FanDuel at the moment. That is a large company, the largest in its field. He provided them with guidance and expertise in a period of growth that was unprecedented. Before FanDuel, he worked for Palace Sports. His role was of a Vice President that included Strategy and Business Operations for the company. Prior to that, he had senior roles and senior positions at other companies such as Cleveland Browns and Miami Dolphins.
Mr. Ross attended the University of Colorado where he got a BS in Journalism. His major was Public Relations, and he justified his diploma over the time, showing his strategic skills. In 1991, he attended the Executive Program of Sports Management Institute.
MOKO made a strategic decision in a previous year and the results are positive. They wanted to solely focus on one part and to neglect everything else. The decision was to put US student market in first place. Their intention was to stop concentrating on other categories of business and put all the work into one. That plan turned out to be successful. They didn't spend time on different categories because it would take their time. In the end, results would be partial and unsatisfying. By concentrating on only one specific market, they were able to investigate more. MOKO reached out and understood the demands of this certain market.
The exposure of MOKO increased quite a lot. The exposure went up to over than half of population which includes US college students. In a period of six months, 125 new colleges were added to their list. Another highlight was the execution of a marketing partnership. It was 'REC*IT first partnership with an important US brand. That move enhanced the name MOKO even more. New partnerships are waiting to be executed. Other brands are getting interested and that will lead to even more satisfying results in the near future.
MOKO has gotten a lot of proposals and they are reviewing them all as well as all possible options. Their aim is to enhance the value of the shareholders, so they can execute their strategy. MOKO made a strong foothold in the colleges of US and in highschools too. That market is giving them a good response and new opportunities. They plan to spread their foothold and make even better results using blockchain technology and algorithms to develop social media networking applications based on user behaviours.
The only thing that decreased was its total expense. It lowered by 5% to $20.1m. Marketing made reductions as well as the benefit expenses for employees. In a previous year, net cash that was used for operations estimated $14.8m. This year, that amount dropped to $12.9m which is a significant difference. MOKO is not stopping when it comes to finding new and improved strategies. There are a lot of more options that they are taking into consideration. These numbers showed there is always room for improvement and enhancement.
MOKO commenced with another app which should help in managing recreational programs and facilities. App making is in the process and they are paying attention to every detail. After this one is finished, MOKO has a few more as sketches. Upcoming apps are not finished and they are yet to be thoroughly planned. There are more different ideas that are discussed. In the end, MOKO might choose only one app to launch, if they find it appropriate. There is a big possibility that the company will launch more apps at once, according to their chairman. He says they are bringing even more innovations and one might not be enough. He continues that the presented ideas are various but equally good and efficient. Therefore, the results in the upcoming years might be even more surprising and satisfying than in this one.

In response to the coronavirus pandemic and the way it has made it harder than ever to take the SAT and ACT, many colleges and universities, from large state universities to small liberal arts colleges, have announced that their admissions for next year's Class of 2025 will be test-optional. Test-optional admissions mean that schools won't require a submission of a standardized test score as part of the admissions process. But how will admissions officials judge applicants without a score? Will a student who doesn't submit a standardized test score be penalized in any way? And will a student who does submit a score be chosen over one who doesn't? [...]

NZXT HUE 2 Ambient V2 Review | Problems solved
We're back, back again, with our NZXT HUE 2 Ambient V2 review. Following our assessment of the original "V1," which disappointed more than it impressed, NZXT reached out to ask us to take a look at the new and (hopefully) improved version. So here we are, with the second attempt at RGB goodness that aims to expand your monitor into a glorious light show.
NZXT HUE 2 Ambient V2 Review | What a difference a V2 makes
So what exactly has NZXT done to the Ambient Kit to make it "V2″? Quite a bit, actually. Based on user feedback from the first version, NZXT has improved the HUE 2 Ambient Kit in three key ways.
The first big change is the stronger and thicker adhesive found on the back of the LED strips. Though I didn't have any issues with the first version's ability to stick, there were reports from others of the strips falling off the back of monitors. The stronger adhesive is recognizable by a red backing, making it clear that these strips use the new-and-improved formula. Couple this new sticky solution with the L-shape corner connectors (also new) and installation is now even easier, and the product is much more likely to stay in place. A cleaning wipe and cloth are also now provided, which help ensure the monitor surface is clean and free of any dust or debris to optimize stickiness.
The next big change is support for ultra-wide monitors. As 21:9 monitors become more widely adopted, due to them offering the advantages of multi-monitor setups without the bezel in between, it's good to see NZXT responding to the increased demand. The 21″-25″ version of the Ambient Kit now supports 34″-35" ultra-wide format monitors, meaning there are no awkward gaps in the coverage area.
Finally, and perhaps most important for those looking to take advantage of the Ambient Mode, are the improvements made to the "display algorithm." This is an area that I was hoping NZXT would improve upon, and I commented in my initial review about the colors' inconsistency. Sometimes they would be spot on, while at other times they would miss the mark entirely. Upon installing the latest version of the CAM software, users should begin to witness the effects of the updated algorithm. This should lead to "improved color fidelity."
Happily, for owners of the V1 Ambient Kit, NZXT is providing free upgrade kits. Upon providing proof of purchase, users will be sent replacement adhesive strips, cleaning wipes, and L-shaped corner brackets. This is fantastic to see!
NZXT HUE 2 Ambient V2 Review | Almost there
So, do all of these improvements add up to an overall better product? Objectively, when it comes to the stronger adhesive, better corner brackets, and support for ultra-wide monitors, it has to be a "yes" from me. However, when it comes to the more subjective aspects, like the effect of the Ambient Mode when playing games, I'm still on the fence.
I'm a fan of the tweaks that NZXT has made to its CAM software in order to improve color accuracy, as I'm now able to sometimes spot green lighting for green scenes, which was pretty much absent during my testing of the V1. For slower-paced games, or for movies and TV shows, the Ambient Kit really helps to "extend" the visuals beyond the monitor. The LEDs are very bright and the colors are vibrant, which I've attempted to capture in the video below.
However, as you'll also hopefully be able to tell in the video above, the slow rate at which the lights refresh can often lead to some jarring moments during fast-paced games like Apex Legends. 95% of the time, this isn't too difficult to ignore, but for that remaining 5%, things can get a little crazy and distracting. Despite the updates to the "display algorithm," the slow refresh can really tear you out of the experience.
When looking at the other lighting modes, the HUE 2 Ambient V2 performs flawlessly. Presets include the subtle Breathing, Fading, and Starry Night modes, as well as the more intense RGB-heavy Rainbow Flow, Super Rainbow, and Rainbow Pulse. These work as well as you would expect, though that isn't necessarily impressive when you consider that there are significantly cheaper alternatives which do the same thing. The main attraction with the HUE 2 Ambient — and the clue is in the name — is the Ambient Mode, which sadly continues to have its flaws.
At $109.99, I feel NZXT still needs to reach perfection to justify the price tag. The HUE 2 Ambient V2 is definitely a step in right direction, and I appreciate the effort that has been made to ensure V1 owners get free upgrade kits, but the product still isn't quite "there" yet when it comes to using the Ambient Mode for faster-paced scenes. Perhaps this is a technical limitation, with the LEDs unable to refresh at a quick enough pace, as opposed to an error on NZXT's part, but either way it requires improvement.
If you're looking to push your viewing experience that bit further, adding a bit of flair to an otherwise uninteresting desktop setup, and you're okay with dealing with (or turning off) the lights during fast-moving gameplay, then the NZXT Hue 2 Ambient V2 is worth considering, especially if you can get it at a reduced price. Otherwise, I'd hold out for more improvements, as NZXT has at least proven that it is a company that listens and incorporates user feedback, which deserves some kudos.

The House Financial Services Committee released a bill on Friday in Massachusettsthat calls for drivers of ride-hailing companies, such as Uber and Lyft,to undergo abackground check, but law enforcement was looking for more.
According to CBS Boston, Boston Police Commissioner William Evans, along with the state associations of police chiefs and district attorneys, has also been advocating forfingerprint checks for drivers. Evans has saidmultiple times that they are the only way to make sure of safety. Boston police have started fingerprinting taxi drivers last month and want the same requirement for ride-hailing drivers.
RELATED: Driver who struck senior in wheelchair hit-and-run located, police say
The push for stronger laws comes following two assaults on female passengers by Uber drivers in theBoston area. Both of the drivers passed the company's criminal background check and did not have a record, the Boston Herald reported.
The bill released Friday would require a background check with atwo-step process — the first step conducted by the company and the second by state regulators, part of a new "Ride for Hire Division" that was created by the state Department of Public Utilities, according to CBS Boston.
According to the Boston Herald, the legislation would additionally prohibit drivers who have been convicted of crimes including DWIs, sexual assault and violent crimes.
The bill willnowgoto the full House for further debate.

Why did a gangster culture develop in the USA in the 1920`s to the 1940`s ?
Extracts from this document...
Benjamin Lindner 13ILY 13.10.2004 Why did a gangster culture develop in the USA in the 1920`s to the 1940`s ? There were several different factors that contributed to the developing of a gangster culture and the organised crime in America. The interesting thing about this is that all of the factors just happened to appear at once, creating a perfect environment for the birth of a nation-wide, organised criminal power. This criminal power could develop because the vicious increase in foreign immigrants during that time in America, which is probably the main reason. The Mafia also could develop in the US because of their really strict discipline, its organisation and hierarchy. Also important for the birth of this gangster culture was the prohibition, the fact that alcohol was illegal and the Mafia could produce it and sell it made it rich, but they had indeed other businesses too. The mighty Dons with their great gangs organised all these businesses and made the phenomenon Mafia in America in the 1920's and 1940's possible. The organised criminal power: First of all it need to be said what the Mafia is. The word Mafia means arrogance and presumption in Italian and refuge in Arabic, which refers to the origins of the Mafia as a society that fled to the hills of Italy to avoid attack. It is the word for a group of criminals who are sometimes linked together with a blood oath and who are not allowed to betray their secret. The first time the word Mafia was mentioned was in the ninth century in Sicily. To this time the main purpose of the so-called Mafia was it to strengthen themselves against the Arabic and Norman forces which invaded their homeland in Sicily. These Arabic and Norman forces oppressed the native Sicilians so that they had to take refuge in the surrounding hills. The intention of the secret society in the hills was it to wake a strong sense of togetherness between all the native Sicilians and to unite every native against the invaders. ...read more.
A whole net of organised crime was over the towns were the Mafia was, they controlled the illegal business like bootlegging, extortion, machine gambling, bookmaking, loan sharking, labour racketeering and kidnapping but also legal businesses like food production, they owned restaurants, they controlled the garbage disposal as well as the garment manufacturing, bars and taverns and Labour unions as well. The Don's The Dons "owned" the cities with there businesses, they controlled everything that happened in "their towns" and ran the city in whatever way they felt. They and their gangs had a great part that the Mafia could develop in the US. The strongest and therefore probably the most famous individuals in the history of the American Mafia were Vito Cascio Ferro (Don Vito), Charlie Luciano (Lucky Luciano), Joseph Bonano (Joey Bananas, Alphonse Capone (to his friends: "Snorky," among some members of the press: "Scarface"). These handsome individuals were so powerful and influencing that they had a great part why the Mafia could establish itself in America in the 1920�s to the 1940�s. Vito Cascio Ferro (1862- 1945): Vito Cascio Ferro was responsible for the establishing the communication between the Sicilian and U.S. Mafia. Cascio Ferro came to New York in 1900, he already had established himself in Sicily where he commited kidnapping, extortion, arson, and threatening officials. Ferro�s activities in the U.S. are not clear, but he killed at least one man. This man, called Benedetto Madonia, had been trying to establish a counterfeiting ring in Don Vito's territory without permission or authority of Don Vito. He was killed really brutally,he was cut in pieces and put into a barrel with his penis and testicles in his mouth. This showed how dangerous the Mafia was already in its early stages, as well as that the police could not really stop the uprising criminal society in the U.S. in the 1920�- 1940�s. Don Vito fled to New Orleans before the police could ask him one question ,he spent time organising his own counterfeiting ring along with establishing a connection for heroin smuggling with Sicily. ...read more.
But he could enjoy the new underworld just for about a month. At the end of October in 1931 he was sentenced to 11 years in prison for tax evasion. He already suffered from syphilis and in jail it was getting worse . He managed to leave prison and was never again involved in underworld affairs. He died in 1947 as maybe the greatest Mafia Boss the world has ever seen. His ability to co-ordinate, managing and motivate people made him one of the most powerful Mafia individuals and he had a great deal why the Mafia could establish itself in America. The Mafia in the 1920's - 1940's was so powerful that the Don's and their gangs could do what ever they wanted to do. It is questionable if the individuals of the Mafia were just more powerful and the circumstances too perfect for the growth of the Mafia, or if the Police and the politicians in America were just too weak. What I can say for sure is that throughout history the Mafia was probably the system which was better organised than every government and more powerful than every other gangster culture this world has ever seen because many things that came together by chance which made America a perfect ground for the growth of a gangster culture. One of the most important reasons was the vicious increase in foreign immigrants during that time in America, it flooded some of the most mighty Don's in American history to the USA and gave these Don's the Mob they needed. Another thing was that these Don's were able to keep a really strict discipline, organisation and hierarchy. Also important for the birth of this gangster culture was the prohibition, the fact that alcohol was illegal and the Mafia could produce it and sell it made it rich, but they had indeed other businesses too. The mighty Dons with their great gangs organised all these businesses and made the phenomenon Mafia in America in the 1920's and 1940's possible. ...read more.

M-Audio Oxygen 8 is a very simple midi controller that lets musicians create music with almost unlimited options. It's a lightweight controller since it only comes with 25 keys - enough for only two scales. Oxygen 8 looks very small and its features might look like it had been crammed really hard just to make space for additional functions and buttons. But one spin with this small synthesizer will immediately change your opinion with Oxygen 8.
This midi controller is fully adaptable to any type of performance. Whether for live performance or highly demanding practice and recording session; Oxygen 8 should be able to provide the sounds required by musicians.
The synthesizer also comes with a software wherein it provides additional tools for musicians to further enhance sound. The key are also highly programmable so that automated functions and settings could be achieved in no time.
There are two small downsides to this type of synthesizer. The first one is the limited number of keys. By limiting their product to 25 keys only, amateur musicians will not be able to handle this type of synthesizer without running into problems.
The second downside of Oxygen 8 is the software. While it would be great to have a software, it is often difficult to handle that some musicians would have to practice on it for a long period of time before figuring it out.
The M-Audio Oxygen 8 is a type of midi controller made for experienced musicians. The simplified keyboard and interface should not fool you. The price is also competitive which means you don't have to spend thousands of dollars just to get on the stage or privately play with a great instrument.

Excellent Quality, Unbelievable Value
Please don't pay any attention to the negative reviews. I have made multiple purchases for my wedding in September 2021, and recommend JJ's House wholeheartedly. This particular dress is a sample, size 14. It is perfect for our riverboat cruise venue. My height is 5'4" and the dress almost reaches the floor in the front. The material is high quality and solid. The lace is beautiful. The built-in bra gives plenty of support (my bust measurements are 42 DD). The sleeves nicely camouflage my upper arms. A bridal belt can be easily added and I intend to add one after I decide on my bridal party's color scheme. Shipping was lightning fast. I received the dress in less than a week (shipping to Minnesota USA). The photo shows the dress fresh out of the package. Wrinkles were minimal and can be steamed out if needed. The color is ivory and could easily pass for white. I absolutely love this dress and the regular price is several hundred dollars less and far more beautiful than a similar dress sold by DB. Customer service and tracking communication is top notch. Order with confidence. You will not be disappointed.

On a recent walk through Downsview Park, connected to the final stop on the subway line between Toronto proper an York University, I came across a series of studios filming various projects. The new show Designated Survivor featuring Canadian Kiefer Sutherland was being filmed, with US plated cars out front, which was exciting enough. But on the door of the studio, the sign indicating usage also read that Season 5 of Suits was in the process of filming in the same space.
Recently the National Post wrote an article about just how much of Suits is "recognizably Toronto", despite the show "taking place" in New York City. An excerpt of the piece reads as follows:
Harvey is always talking about representing Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley – it's only a matter of time before, I don't know, Dougie Gilmour wanders into his office. Sarah Rafferty, the actress who plays Donna, is already a model for Holt Renfrew, for Peterborough's sake. Was it with a knowing wink, then, that when Jessica ambushed Edward Darby on a business trip, he wryly asked, "Jessica, what brings you to Toronto?" We're all like, "The elevator."

At a time when sexual harassment is central to all discussions, it's difficult for employers to know how to manage romance at work! There are several options available to them, from outright prohibition to establishment of a dedicated policy and case-by-case reactions.
One person out of three has had a romantic relationship at work, and 45% of people who had a romantic relationship at work hid it from at least one person, according to a recent study by ADP Canada. One of the reasons for these secrets is that the companies have no policy on the subject, or that their employees are not aware of their existence and therefore don't know if their adventure is allowed or if it is likely to be penalized. With the doubt, they prefer not to talk about it to their colleagues or manager, and even less to human resources.
Setting up a formal policy
To avoid this, the simplest thing is to set up a clear policy providing the same consequences for a given situation, to be applied in all departments of the company. If your company has not yet considered it, here are 6 ways to start:
- Treat relationships in a positive light: Some employers are worried that romance at work will lead to a loss of performance, but in fact this is rarely the case. On the contrary, a company with an open attitude on the subject creates a sense of recognition and loyalty with its employees that improves engagement and morale, and therefore productivity.
- Provide for sanctions: It is not a matter of dismissing colleagues that have a relationship, but of putting reprimands in place if this relationship leads to problems, such as favouritism, a decrease in productivity or a deteriorating work environment, especially in the case of problems with the couple or of breaking up. It is important to formalize these sanctions in order to apply them the same way to all and to avoid discontent.
- Have a contract signed: One of the disturbing aspects of workplace romance for employers is the risk of sexual harassment, particularly at the moment, when the issue is so often in the spotlight. When you become aware of an affair between two of your employees, you can have them sign a simple document where they acknowledge they are having a relationship and ensure they are both consenting, so as not to risk the company's liability if things go wrong.
- Separate… to some extent: The most complicated case concerns relationships between an employee and their superior, which can lead to jealousies and rumours. Transferring one of them to another department, so that this relationship of subordinate to supervisor no longer comes into play, can avoid problems.
- Train the managers: They are employees' first contact before HR and
management. It is therefore essential that managers know the company policy and know how to react if members of their staff decide to get into a relationship. Take a few hours to make them aware of the subject.
- Communicate: Finally, all these efforts will be in vain if your employees are not aware of them! Let them know that romance at work is tolerated in your company, but also that it is supervised and that they should inform their manager and HR if they wish to begin or are already in a relationship with a colleague.
Dealing case by case
Another possibility is to not formalize your general policy but to consider the circumstances of each situation to see how to react. Since each love story is different, this can be an interesting option that will give your employees the impression of being listened to and valued. However, it is not viable in very large companies, and is better reserved for smaller organizations where employees have access to the managers.
Prohibit romances at work
This is the route some business choose. However, it is not the most recommended solution, because it is unrealistic. It will not prevent your employees from falling in love, but will make them more likely to hide the relationship, and you might only find out if something goes wrong, when it's too late to react.
