A typical Japanese meal can be broken down into 4 parts: a staple (which is usually rice), a protein (this could be red or white meat or vegetables), soup and pickled vegetables. The simple presentation, rich and complex flavour profile that Japanese food offers have made it a popular cuisine in Nairobi. For years, foodies of the city have gathered at their favourite East Asian restaurants to enjoy tempura, ramen and sushi with the occasional taste of wasabi.
Now the Nairobi Japan Food Festival has arrived! This festival aims to bring a brand-new culinary experience into Nairobi by integrating Japanese ingredients in Kenyan cuisine. This is evident in the original Japanese-Kenyan fusion recipe that was created by the Executive Chef of Nyama Mama Delta, Mr Lesiamon Sempele, in collaboration with S&B Foods and Yamasa from Japan.
The menu features simple ingredients such as chicken and avocado that a wholly familiar to Kenyans with Japanese flavours such as Yuzu and wasabi infused into them in order to amplify your sensory experience. Head down to Nyama Mama Delta or Nyama Mama Capital Centre between 26th – 28th April to indulge in this menu. However if you can’t make it, pass by Zucchini ABC Place for a free tasting. Either way, you’ll be able to try some version of these delicious fusion meals.

When I say social media tends to lose it at anyone at any time, I mean it as well. From time and again, it has been proven that Pakistanis on social media are the most careless users ever. We do whatever we want to, we say whatever we feel like, and we spread rumors & speculations like none of our business. This lands us in hot waters as well. This time around, social media users, without any context, justification or clarification have decided to bash PEMRA for nothing at all.
Do not know what I am talking about? Please follow through:
What Did PEMRA Do?
Obviously, the first question you must have asked yourself is, so what did PEMRA do this time? The answer is nothing. For the first time, Pakistan Electronic Regulatory Media Authority responsible for serving as the watchdog for media content has done nothing and people are still bashing it.
There is a social-media wide campaign going around against PEMRA where people are asking for accountability and answers from the agency’s chief on how it does not monitor the content properly. People want answers to the questions PEMRA itself isn’t aware of.
What Did Social Media Do?
Now that’s the right question to ask. This time around, the social media users have attributed content to PEMRA that it isn’t responsible for watching over. Recently, a video has been making rounds where we can see veteran actress, Hina Khwaja Bayat, talking about a ‘hand jobs’ she had to give to her bosses to receive promotions and career growth for her daughter. She is heard saying;
“I used to give a hand job to my boss two times a day…. To a man who was about 20 years older than me to get a promotion…
“These hand jobs turned to multiple jobs over the years so I can progress and get promoted.”
The video has to go viral on social media that people started bashing PEMRA for regulating the content that isn’t in-line with the Pakistani society and not par with the entertainment that should be showcased in the Islamic Republic.
Here is the video I am talking about:
— Mazahir ALI (@Maxza_Balti) October 4, 2020
So, What’s The Actual Story?
The video you see about belongs to the latest, one of the most trending shows, Churails. Now, Churails isn’t a Pakistani production and is the brainchild of Indian production, Zee 5. The show hasn’t streamed in Pakistan, and the clip has been taken from it. Now just by looking at Hina Bayat, people assumed that it is something taken from a Pakistani production and started bashing PEMRA without knowing that it isn’t its area of control and they have absolutely no authority to control or regulate what is being produced in India with Pakistani actors.
On the other internet, the internet has still lost it with people posting tweets after another. Don’t believe me? Here are some tweets for you to feast your eyes on:
These dramas are destroying our values, culture and our family system, promoting family politics, creating a game of thrones in every family, increasing divorces and family disputes and decreasing the dresses of women by each passing day. 1/2

About This Project
The majestic tiger is an iconic resident of zoos, fascinating people of all cultures. This project will determine what is going on inside tigers. The tens of trillions of microbes found in a gut microbiome influence many aspects of health, and yet are unseen and unknown to us. Using non-invasive sampling methods, we will identify the microbial zoo of the tiger gut, with the ultimate aim of better understanding how to promote a healthy microbiota that will ensure healthy tigers.
Ask the ScientistsJoin The Discussion
What is the context of this research?
Gut microbes play critical roles in host animal health (Sekirov et al., 2010), including impacts on gut health, immune function, nutritional status, behavior, and even mood. The gut microbiota is host-specific, i.e., individuals have specific populations of microbes that are influenced by internal factors (e.g., species, age, health status) and environmental variables (e.g., diet, stress), and changes over time (Sekirov et al., 2010).
Diet modulates gut microbiota, and in turn, the microbial composition can dramatically influence how the animal responds to its diet. Captive tigers don't hunt wild prey, so their dietary intake differs from wild tigers. Therefore, their gut microbiota is likely to also differ, potentially affecting captive tiger health, but the extent of impact is unknown.
What is the significance of this project?
High-fiber diets have been shown to improve gut function and health, as well as satiety and behaviour in carnivores, all of which support improved animal welfare. Given the beneficial role of fiber in many other species, captive tiger diets supplemented with a form of fibre may offer important advantages to tiger behavioural and physiological health. One particularly important mechanism by which fiber is thought to exert its effect on health is via modification of the gut microbiota (Scott et al., 2008). Yet, the microbiota of tigers has not been comprehensively investigated. Moreover, dietary intervention studies examining the influence of dietary fiber in this endangered species are sorely lacking. This project will therefore address these gaps in our understanding.
What are the goals of the project?
This project aims to firstly characterise the tiger's microbiome. Whilst doing so we will also be able to investigate the influence of dietary fiber, when supplemented to a ground meat diet, on the tigers' microbiota. Nine tigers in a US zoo have been recruited into this project. The tigers will be fed their typical meat diet, and then switched to a diet supplemented with fiber. Feces from all animals will be collected during feeding periods with and without fiber, and analyzed for microbiological composition and diversity. As well as being the first controlled study of the captive tiger gut microbiome, our analyses will determine how/if dietary fiber influences the gut microbiota. This will allow us to make predictions about the influence of fiber on tiger health and welfare.
These two laboratory costs will enable us to identify and quantify the microbial species present in the tiger gut. Microbes will be identified (diversity and composition) using samples of captive tiger feces. Microbial DNA will be extracted from feces and used to amplify 16S rRNA genes. Gene sequences will be obtained using a high throughput Illumina Miseq platform that will allow us to identify common and rare members of the tiger gut microbiomes. Sequence data will be analyzed using the mothur bioinformatics pipeline followed by a battery of statistical analyses that will enable comparisons among tigers, and that will reveal impacts of diet. Results will be made available to the public through websites and publications. Other costs associated with the project (e.g. tiger diet, sample collection equipment, researcher time, sample transport) are being funded independently (funds are secured for these costs).
Meet the Team
This project forms part of a larger project investigating the impact of dietary fiber on tiger behavioural and physiological health. Our multi-disciplinary team reflects the holistic approach we are taking to studying tiger health and welfare.
I have been working with captive carnivores (primarily cheetahs) for the past 16 years, and have held positions ranging from zoo keeper, to veterinary nurse, as well as research officer and zoo biology lecturer. I obtained my PhD in Animal Nutritional Science from Massey University in New Zealand, where I investigated the role of secondary plant compounds in the reproductive and hepatic health of cheetahs and domestic cats. Since then I have completed research projects investigating dietary factors associated with gut health parameters in captive cheetahs, diet evaluation and digestibility studies in growing cheetah cubs, browse provision in captive rare ungulates, joint health supplement intervention studies in captive leopards, and development studies of hand-reared cheetahs. I have held supervisory positions on a number of MSc and PhD programs, including studies investigating hindgut fermentation in cheetahs, the use of livestock guarding dogs as a form of non-lethal predator control in South Africa, environmental enrichment in captive carnivores, gut-loading of feeder invertebrates for captive insectivores, and parasitology studies in zoological facilities.
I am currently the Scientific Advisor to Cheetah Outreach Trust (South Africa) and a Visiting Fellow at Nottingham Trent University in the UK, where I contribute to teaching and research responsibilities on the Zoo Biology BSc(Hons) and Endangered Species Recovery and Conservation MSc degrees. I am a fellow of the Higher Education Academy (UK) and serve as a sub-editor for the Journal of Applied Animal Nutrition and a reviewer for 6 other journals.
With a growing portfolio of international collaborators and expanding network of colleagues in the zoo and companion-animal management field, I have consulted on a variety of zoo-based projects and continue to publish peer-reviewed articles as well as book chapters and a book.
Gary M. King
I am a microbial biogeochemist with a wide range of interests in microbes and what they do in natural systems. My research has included numerous terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems, along with various extreme environments. Research focused on what microbes do has been complemented by studies of microbial composition and diversity. My work has also focused on animal and plant systems, and I have even discovered and described two marine invertebrates.
In addition, I have characterized the gut microbiomes of two invertebrates (Saccoglossus bromophenolosus, and the oyster, Crassostrea virginica), and am engaged in a comparative analysis of the gut microbiomes in a variety of felids (cheetahs, tigers, cougars, bobcats, jaguars, and servals). The latter effort involves an undergraduate-focused research and teaching experience.
I am on the faculty of Louisiana State University where I serve as a grad and undergrad lecturer and research advisor. I have published extensively (> 150 pubs, H = 56, Google Scholar) and am a fellow of the American Academy of Microbiology.
Ellen S. Dierenfeld
Trained as a Comparative Animal Nutritionist, I have worked with a variety of zoo, wildlife, pet and livestock species for more than 3 decades. I developed and led the Wildlife Nutrition Centers at the Wildlife Conservation Society (based at the Bronx Zoo) as well as St. Louis Zoo, directed Africa R&D collaborations for Novus International (a feed ingredients manufacturer), and have conducted field research on 6 continents with a variety of species. I currently work as an independent consultant for diet evaluation, product development, and research with a number of zoos, private individuals, NGOs and commercial feed manufacturers.
I've published >150 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters on various nutrition topics, co-authored a textbook on comparative nutrition and metabolism, & mentored numerous students and interns - many of whom currently hold prominent roles in zoo/wildlife nutrition, animal health care, and conservation. In addition to the current project, I currently serve on PhD committees for other students in Europe, South America, and Asia, and look forward to integrating Nutrition, Behavior, and Microbiology in this multidisciplinary project.
I am a veterinarian and physiologist, currently working in the UK as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Zoo and Wildlife Medicine at the University of Nottingham, School of Veterinary Medicine and Science. I have worked with and studied the health and welfare of wildlife for the past 20 years in Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia. I have experience with the development of novel technologies for surveillance and diagnosis of zoonoses and emerging infectious diseases in wildlife, and the use of a One Health approach linking ecosystem, human and animal health.
I currently serve as Chair of the European Wildlife Disease Association, and am a member of the IUCN Wildlife Health Specialist Group. I am also a member of BIAZA’s Elephant Welfare Group (government advisory committee working to assess and improve welfare of UK zoo elephants), and serve on the Ethics Committee of the Zoological Society of London, and on the Health and Welfare Committee of Twycross Zoo.

Historical sights of Palermo
Palermo, the capital of the famous island of Sicily, is a beautiful pearl of Italy. This sunny city with a rich ancient history, comfortably situated in a beautiful green valley at the foot of Pelegrino, is washed by the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Here every building breathes with history and romance.
Many cultures left their traces in Palermo — its attractions, unique in its beauty, are a unique combination of different architectural styles and historical eras.
Due to the favorable geographical position of the island on the trade routes of the Mediterranean, Palermo has always remained an important strategic point, the power over which many times passed from one conqueror to another. The city was founded by the Phoenicians in the eighth century BC, and during the reign of the Saracens became an important port, which it still remains.
Later, Palermo was the capital of the Sicilian kingdom, which in the 13th century passed to the duke of Anjou. However, the French could not retain power even for two decades — as a result of the famous Sicilian vespers in Palermo, they were all destroyed, after which the island was ceded to the kings of Aragon. Only in the 19th century, under the leadership of Garibaldi, Sicily was liberated and became part of the Italian kingdom. Currently, Palermo is the main transport hub of the region and a popular tourist destination.
Palermo surpasses many famous Italian cities in number and variety of attractions. It harmoniously coexists with Gothic cathedrals and Islamic mosques, magnificent palaces and amazing fountains, and the narrow streets of the historic center, filled with ancient houses, still keep the spirit of the Middle Ages.
- One of the most beautiful architectural structures is the Royal Norman Palace, located in the historic part of Palermo. The building was erected in the 11th century on the site of an Arab fortress, and later four towers and a royal chapel were added to it — the Palatine Chapel. The architecture of the palace is a mixture of different styles — from the western facade there is an Arabic pattern of false arches, and the southeast is made in the style of an Italian Renaissance palace. The halls and the chapel are painted with magnificent Byzantine mosaics and frescoes.
- Steri Castle or Palazzo Chiaramonti is a grand palace built in the 14th century for the powerful family of Chiaramonti. The last representative of a noble family, who rebelled against the king, was executed in front of his own castle, after which the building became the royal residence. Since the 17th century for almost two centuries, it housed the main tribunal of the Sicilian Inquisition. The palace was built in the style of the Norman Gothic, which later became known as the Chiaramonti style and was widely used in the construction of architectural structures in Sicily. Inside, the castle is decorated with magnificent paintings depicting biblical and mythological scenes.
- A wonderful monument of architecture is the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The remains of the Sicilian kings are buried here, and during the rule of the Arabs the temple was turned into a Friday mosque. In the 12th century, on the site of an old building, a three-nave basilica was built with four towers in the corners. In subsequent years, the cathedral was rebuilt several times. As a result, it combined elements of the Arab-Norman style, and high Gothic, and classicism. Above the cathedral rises a classic dome, in the eastern part of it is decorated with pointed windows and floral ornaments of Arabic style. The western part is made in the Gothic style, and the south facade is an eclectic mix of different styles. The relics of Saint Rosalia are kept in the walls of the cathedral, attracting thousands of pilgrims.
- Especially popular with newlyweds is the Church of La Martorana, built in the 12th century in the Arab-Norman style. As a result of its numerous reconstructions, a significant mixture of elements of different architectural styles occurred, but the original cruciform shape of the foundation remained. The interior of the church is famous for its beautiful golden mosaics. They are one of the most ancient on the island. Plates lined with colored marble, covered with gilded mosaic. Martorana — one of the main attractions of the city.
- Church of St. Maria di Gesu kaza The professa is the oldest Jesuit church in Sicily. It was built in the Baroque style by the monks of the Order of Jesus, who settled in Palermo in the 16th century. Despite the restrained facade, the interior of the building is striking in its magnificence. The walls are decorated with colored marble bas-reliefs, inlays and floral patterns. The dome is painted with luxurious frescoes on biblical scenes.
- The archaeological museum of Palermo occupies an old building of a former monastery of the 16th century. It has a unique collection of artifacts obtained during archaeological excavations and belonging to different periods of history. Here are the ancient ceramics, beautiful sculptures, ancient objects from Egyptian temples. The museum is named after the archaeologist and scientist A. Salinos, who donated his rich collection to the institution.
- The Capuchin Catacombs are the most unusual sight in Palermo, so not everyone will decide to look at it at least once. In the dungeons of the Capuchin Abbey, right in the rocks, are carved long corridors that are the burial place of notable citizens of the city. Embalmed corpses are located on both sides of the aisle in various positions, and their wardrobe is updated regularly.
- Sicily has always been famous for its puppet theaters. The International Puppet Museum in Palermo is an amazing place. There are more than three and a half thousand different dolls from around the world. In the museum you can also get acquainted with the features of the manufacture and management of puppets.
One of the main squares of Palermo is surrounded by a magnificent ensemble of architectural monuments in the Baroque style. On one side stands the Church of Santa Catarina with a luxurious interior in rococo style. On the other hand is the Catholic Church of San Jazeppe dei Teatini, surmounted by a large dome covered with blue-and-yellow majolica. The oldest building on the square is Palazzo Pretorio, built in the 15th century for sittings of the senate. Now it is the city mayor’s office.
In the 16th century, a grandiose fountain composition consisting of three cascades was installed on the square in front of the palace. From the uppermost tier occupied by a large fountain, spacious stairs descend. Between them there are four smaller fountains, and the lower tier is represented by four basins, symbolizing the Palermo River. All fountains are decorated with sculptures of gods, mythological characters, figures and heads of animals and fantastic monsters.
The originality of the composition, brought from one of the cities of Italy, consisted in the fact that almost all the figures were naked. This circumstance caused a mass protest of the conservative population of the city. Over the years, residents have come to terms with the unusual fountain, but the name “Fountain of Shame” has stuck behind it.
Today, the Botanical Garden of Palermo is a huge complex on ten hectares, including greenhouses, aquarium, school of botany. And it was laid more than two hundred years ago on a small plot of land to grow and explore the healing properties of plants.
Near the main entrance to the garden is located the building of the Gymnasium, which houses the herbarium and library. A large aquarium for aquatic plants, divided into 24 sections, is installed on the central avenue. Next are the greenhouses, each of which is designed for a particular type of plant. On the territory there is a genetic bank, which stores material for scientific research. More than 12 thousand unique plant species are grown in the garden — from tiny specimens to huge exotic trees. This is a great place to relax at any time of the year. Many come with children all day.
Next to the Botanical Garden is located Villa Giulia — the first urban park of Palermo. In the center of the picturesque territory stands a fountain with twelve facets — a sundial. The alleys are decorated with beautiful sculptural groups.
This city of Sicily is a great place for a varied holiday. Every traveler can choose according to his taste what to see in Palermo. In any case, he will get the best and unforgettable impressions of a wonderful pastime.

Go away a Remark
Parks and Recreation made its manner again to the airwaves for a particular distant episode in Might regardless of coming to an official finish again in 2015, and now one other ended NBC comedy is getting a reunion. The 30 Rock forged is coming collectively for a reunion particular greater than seven years after the present initially wrapped again in 2013. Liz Lemon and Co. are returning to TV, and never simply on its unique residence on NBC.
30 Rock is returning in July for an NBCUniversal Upfront occasion that can double as a reunion particular and an occasion celebrating the tales and skills slated for the 2020-2021 TV season. The reunion will run for an hour and air with out commercials, guaranteeing 30 Rock followers extra airtime than Parks and Rec followers obtained with its distant episode.
The Upfront occasion will premiere on Thursday, July 16 on NBC at eight p.m. ET, however that will not be the one time or community to catch the 30 Rock reunion particular. Following the NBC broadcast on July 16, the Upfront presentation can be rebroadcast throughout USA, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, Syfy, and CNBC on Friday, July 17 at 9 p.m. ET. It’s going to even be out there to stream on Peacock on July 17. However which of the 30 Rock forged members can be again to make the Upfront occasion must-see TV?
30 Rock followers needn’t concern that the particular goes to go away out the largest names. The confirmed returning forged members embody Tina Fey as Liz Lemon, Alec Baldwin as Jack Donaghy (who by no means obtained his spinoff), Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan, Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney, and Jack McBrayer as Kenneth Parcell. Extra are anticipated to return as effectively. Viewers may anticipate visitor appearances from expertise throughout the NBCUniveral networks.
30 Rock govt producers Tina Fey and Robert Carlock weighed in on the Upfront reunion particular, saying:
We’re all pleased to have this excuse to (remotely) work collectively once more for NBC. To cite Kenneth the Web page, there are solely two issues we love on this world, tv and everybody.
Just like the Parks and Recreation reunion episode, the 30 Rock occasion can be filmed from distant places throughout the nation. Additionally just like the Parks and Rec episode, which introduced the characters again collectively through a video name tree to verify in with one another, the 30 Rock particular ought to make sense for the characters. After all, the 30 Rock crew labored in TV, and it stands to cause that internet hosting an Upfront presentation would fall to them.
It ought to positively be attention-grabbing to see how the 30 Rock particular picks up from the place the present left off. I am unable to assist however hope that the immortal Kenneth remains to be a part of the web page program, and it could be fairly humorous if 30 Rock went meta and mentioned that Jenna Maroney went on to star in a present with some putting similarities to Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Because the particular will air after 6 p.m., I’ve to hope that Jack can be carrying a tux, lest followers come to the conclusion that he has grow to be a farmer within the seven years because the collection finale.
For now, you possibly can all the time relive the unique run of 30 Rock with the collection streaming on each Hulu and Amazon Prime. The present can even be out there on the Peacock streaming service when it launches nationwide on July 15. For some upcoming viewing choices throughout the await the 30 Rock Upfront particular on NBC on July 16, make sure you take a look at our 2020 summer season premiere schedule.

Some rental car companies will charge you more for the same car, depending on where you pick it up. Picking up your rental car at the airport, in particular, will probably end up costing you more than if you were to take public transportation to an off-site rental company, even if it’s just a few miles away.
Inspect Your Rental
It can be tempting to drive away once you get to your rental car; however, you must inspect the vehicle first. When a car is returned to the company, an inspection is conducted for any damage renters may have incurred. While these inspections are thorough, you must perform your own inspection so that you won’t have to pay to fix the damage you didn’t cause. If you can photograph and report this damage before leaving the lot, you can avoid damage charges.
Be Aware of Your Insurance Plan
Many car rental companies will charge you additional insurance fees; however, it may be completely unnecessary to buy insurance through the rental company. Many insurance providers also cover rental cars as a part of your car insurance plan, so doubling up on insurance through the rental company is unnecessary. Double-check with your insurance provider before picking up your rental car to ensure you aren’t paying for excessive coverage.
Read the Fine Print
You must understand what you agree to when you sign out for a rental car. Some companies have hidden fees in their contracts for empty gas tanks, cleaning services, late check-ins, and so forth, so if you would like to avoid any surprise charges when returning your car, you must read the rental agreement thoroughly.
Younger Drivers Pay More
Most rental companies have a policy that charges drivers under 25 premium prices for renting a car, and this applies no matter how close or far you are driving it. If you are a younger driver, this is something to keep in mind; you may want to find someone older to drive you.
Choose Your Driver Carefully
If you are headed on a road trip with several people, carefully consider who will be driving. The more drivers you list on the agreement when renting a car, the more you will typically be charged. Your driver must be up to the challenge if you are only putting one person on the rental agreement because if a driver who is not on the agreement gets into an accident, the damages may not be covered.

The best time to start a book is a question that has likely crossed the mind of every aspiring author at some point. The answer, however, is not as straightforward as you might think.
There are a few key factors to consider when determining the best time to start writing your book. First, think about your schedule and commitments. Are you currently working a full-time job or taking care of a family? If so, you’ll need to consider whether you have the time and energy to devote to writing a book.
Another important factor to consider is your inspiration and motivation. Are you feeling energized and creative, or are you struggling to come up with ideas? If you’re feeling uninspired, it might be best to wait until you’re in a better place creatively before starting your book.
Finally, consider your goals for the book. Are you writing it for personal fulfillment, or do you have bigger aspirations for it (like getting it published)? If you’re hoping to eventually publish your book, you’ll need to consider the current market and what types of books are selling well at the moment.
So, when is the best time to start a book? Ultimately, the answer is different for everyone. Some people are able to juggle multiple commitments and write a book in their spare time, while others need to set aside dedicated blocks of time in order to make progress. The key is to find a balance that works for you and to start writing when you feel ready and motivated.

Everyone loves a fudgey brownie, and we’ve taken it to the next level. We’ve substituted all of the sugar in this recipe with a homemade caramel that adds a subtle complexity to these brownies that will leave everyone asking what your secret is. And with some help from liquid sunflower lecithin they will stay gooey and delicious till the last piece is gone.
- 600g (2 ½ cups) Sugar
- 120g (½ cup) Water
- 120g (½ cup) Heavy Cream
- 4g (1 tsp) Salt
- 200g (4 each) Large Eggs
- 1 each Vanilla Bean, Scraped
- 60g (2 oz) 100% Chocolate
- 150g (10 oz) 70% Chocolate
- 226g (2 sticks) Butter
- 5g (1 tsp) Liquid Sunflower Lecithin
- 113g (4 oz) Cream Cheese
- 200g (1 ¾ cups) All Purpose Flour
- 10g (1 ½ tbsp) Instant Espresso Powder
- 50g (½ cup) Dutch Process Cocoa
- 8×8 Baking Pan
- Stand Mixer With a Whisk Attachment
- Pastry Brush
Active Time: 45 Minutes
Total Time: 2 Hours
Prepare CaramelPreheat an oven to 350°F.In a heavy bottom pot place the sugar and water and begin cooking over medium heat. Use a pastry brush with water to brush the sides of the pan to ensure the sugar doesn’t recrystalize and seize. Cook the sugar until it reaches 375°F. The sugar should be a dark caramel color. Remove it from the heat and allow it to cool to 240°F before adding the heavy cream. This may splatter so be careful.Return the caramel to medium low heat and stir until uniform. Begin cooking the caramel until it reaches 240°F once again.
Whisk Eggs and Add CaramelBefore the sugar reaches 240°F place the eggs in a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and begin whisking.Once the sugar reaches 240°F slowly drizzle the caramel into the eggs. Once all combined add the scraped vanilla bean mix on medium high for 15 minutes. This step is vital to making the brownies fluffy.
Add ChocolateIn a double boiler heat the 100% chocolate, 70% chocolate, butter, and liquid sunflower lecithin until it has melted, this should take about 5 minutes. Mix together until smooth.Turn the mixer on low and slowly add the warm chocolate mixture to the eggs, mix until smooth.
Add Dry IngredientsIn a bowl sift together the flour, instant espresso powder, salt, and cocoa powder.Add in the flour mixture and cream cheese, mix for 1 minute or until fully combined. Be sure to not over mix.
Bake and ServePour the brownie batter into a 8×8 baking pan lined with baking paper.Bake at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, check the brownies with a cake tester or a toothpick. It should be slightly underdone in the very center for a nice fudgy consistency.Allow the brownies to cool for 1 hour before cutting and serving.
These brownies will last for at least two-three weeks when sealed and refrigerated. Gently reheat them in an oven for the best results.

"Everything would suggest it's not flexor tendon or ligament, it's more just a strain right in the middle of the forearm," said manager Bob Melvin. "So hopefully that's a good thing. But it's enough to where we felt like we have to DL him."
Cook experienced tightness in his forearm while pitching in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mariners, and was removed from the game immediately. He underwent an MRI during Thursday's off-day that revealed the strain.
Rodriguez began the season on the DL while continuing rehab from Tommy John surgery. He has been fantastic since returning to game action for the first time since last March, posting a 0.73 ERA in 11 relief appearances for Sacramento. He did not allow a run over his final 9 1/3 innings.
The right-hander, acquired by the A's with Jed Lowrie from Houston last year, made his Oakland debut Friday night and pitched a scoreless ninth inning in his first Major League game since Oct. 3, 2012, with the Astros.
"Good to see him come all the way back from surgery," said Melvin. "Hard-working kid who really deserves a chance back up here again. We saw him do some good things in Spring Training, and he has been doing well down there, so well-deserved.
"And Joe Savery is another guy that we saw in Spring Training, and that gives you some options, not only against left-handers, but can get some right-handers out, as well."
Savery, who was 4-0 with a 3.86 ERA in 10 relief appearances for the River Cats, allows the A's to keep three lefties in the bullpen, with Drew Pomeranz transferring to the rotation in the wake of Dan Straily's demotion.
The 28-year-old was claimed off waivers by the A's in February, after pitching to a 4.15 ERA in 41 outings spanning three seasons with the Phillies.

Search Acumen (property data insight and technology provider) comments on HMRC’s property transactions data for January 2024:
- The seasonally adjusted estimate of UK residential transactions in January shows a 2% increase compared to December 2023 – non-seasonally adjusted this figure changes to a 20% decrease compared to the previous month.
- The seasonally adjusted estimate of UK non-residential (commercial) transactions in January shows a 1% decrease compared to December 2023 – non-seasonally adjusted this figure changes to an 17% decrease compared to the previous month.
Andy Sommerville, Director at Search Acumen, the property data and insight provider, comments:
“The lacklustre transaction numbers today reflect subdued momentum across the board. Whilst commercial property transactions have remained steady, albeit at a snail’s pace with just a 1% decrease month-on-month, it is the residential market that has yet to escape the quicksand, sinking deeper into slow-moving deals. Weak supply and poor financial mobility, exasperated by seasonal lulls, has meant the market is lacking punch and the property plateau persists. Seasonally adjusted residential transactions sit at 82,000 – 10% lower than a year previous, and the lowest recorded volume in January for over a decade.
“For non-residential transactions, although there has been a slight downward shift, compared to January last year we are seeing some stability with a 1% increase. Borrowing costs continue to influence higher value commercial deals, and it is likely that until we see interest rates dial back again, the market will be hard pushed to see significant gains. Some sectors are faring better than others, including tech and Life Sciences, providing a much-needed life raft to the overall picture painted. Government ambitions to make the country a digital superpower has turbocharged this sub-sector while others fall short.
“Looking ahead, uncertainty still looms, especially with anticipation surrounding potential announcements in the Spring Budget. These announcements are due to add another layer of complexity, with policies potentially impacting both sectors. For example, it has been predicted that the so-called ‘tourist tax’ will not be reversed by the Chancellor, in another hit for the already struggling retail sector, blocking London’s ability to compete with international cities such as Paris or Milan.
“For those stakeholders within the transactions chain, to remain agile and efficient where uncertainty is rife, leveraging technology and innovation has never been more important. Paper chasing alongside endless silos within the process should no longer be a consistent barrier but consigned to history for good. The digitalisation of the entire property transaction process is the key to keeping deals in play and appetite rife, with the ability to accelerate industry growth across the board.”

COLOMBIA: Images, 3 ships, 13 STS Cranes at Cartagena Port
Cartagena de Indias D. T. Y C. July 8, 2020. On the brink of 5:00 p.m. From July 7, the Valparaíso Express, a container ship that fits 7 soccer fields perfectly, entered the bay of Cartagena as the afternoon dawned and the sun tinted the sky with a lively orange that charged energy and enthusiasm for the most of two hundred operators who would have with him and two other ships, an unprecedented challenge in his workplace, the Contecar terminal of the Puerto de Cartagena Group.
She arrived at the docking position with her engines off, guided by the pilot and driven by tugs, while the Calais Trader motor ship entered the bay, which would dock at an adjoining dock. With these two ships an important operation for the country’s port history began. Work was carried out on unloading and loading both motor ships relentlessly until the most anticipated time for all operators, 4:00 am, at which time another colossal ship, 333.2 meters long and 48.23 meters wide, called Guayaquil Express, she arrived for the 2199 container movements and required to continue his trip to Europe.
Among the three ships, 5,143 containers were moved, of which 360 were for import containers, 316 for export and 4,467 for transshipment containers.
Many lives are connected in an operation like this. Colombian farmers who have planted and cared for products such as coffee, avocado, flowers, cocoa, among other fruits, with a chain that includes distributors, marketers, exporters, logistics, until reaching final consumers in different parts of the world.
Not only growers, also producers or marketers of petroleum derivatives, non-drug chemicals, wood, leather, shoes, among others, are part of the list of products that were exported in this operation.
Likewise, we source machinery, equipment for the industry, oils, pharmaceuticals, tires, among others that are imported and arrived on the aforementioned ships.
Each worker makes a special effort and together with the institutions that monitor and guarantee the proper functioning of Colombian foreign trade, there are many lives that are connected with the desire to keep the economy active and with it, the possibilities of development and well-being both individuals and societies. An effort to transform the future from present activities.
12 crane operators, 49 RTG operators, 117 truck drivers, 13 tallys, 13 gatekeepers, 3 operations controllers, 2 yard gliders, 1 equipment controller, 1 RTG controller, 1 operations coordinator, 8 persons were required for handling refrigerated cargo, among others.
“They were 10 years of preparation to face an operational challenge that required a lot of planning, synchronization and expertise of a large number of collaborators, also conditioned by the measures that have been necessary to adopt due to the pandemic,” said Karina Kure, director of HHRR of the Puerto de Cartagena Group.
Additionally, it was necessary to start up simultaneously 13 Super Post Panamax cranes that moved to the rhythm of the enthusiasm of more than two hundred operators who were experiencing the operation of three ships for the first time, two of them large, at the same time.
“It was an important operational challenge for the port staff because for the first time we operated three ships simultaneously with thirteen gantry cranes, two of the ships were large, and we are pleased to have responded to the demands of the market, we hope to continue with these kinds of challenges that invite us to be more competitive and to strengthen Colombian foreign trade ”Alfonso Salas Trujillo, manager of the Puerto de Cartagena Group
About the ships
GUAYAQUIL EXPRESS is a container ship built in 2017, it sails under the flag of Germany, its load capacity is 10,589 TEU and its current draft is 13.5 meters. Its total length is 333.18 meters and its width is 48.2 meters.
VALPARAISO EXPRESS is a container ship built in 2016, it sails under the German flag, its load capacity is 10,500 TEU and its current draft is 11 meters. Its total length (LOA) is 333.2 meters and its width is 48.23 meters.
Both ships belong to the Hapag Lloyd shipping line, which has been consolidating as the busiest line in the Group’s terminals. In 2019 it increased its transfers by 30%, for a total volume close to 944,000 TEU.
“” This operation is one more example of the confidence of the shipping lines in our operations and the capabilities of an incredible human team that guarantees productivity, operational efficiency and competitiveness for the country, “said Alfonso Salas Trujillo, manager of Grupo Puerto de Cartagena.
In the middle of COVID-19
This operation posed a greater challenge considering the pandemic by Covid-19. It is important to remember that the companies of the Puerto de Cartagena Group are the first port companies in Latin America certified with the Bureau Veritas SAFEGUARD protection seal for guaranteeing good practices and compliance with biosecurity measures to control the risk of contagion by COVID. -19.

However, reaction to the news has been mixed with some analysts questioning whether the Windows 7 platform is ready for the enterprise market.
Following promises of dramatic changes to its business model, Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its main smartphone strategy. Additionally, it will use Bing to power its search engines across Nokia devices and services. Microsoft’s adCenter will provide search advertising on Nokia devices and services.
The two companies will closely collaborate in development. Microsoft will adopt Nokia maps as a core part of its mapping services, Nokia’s content and application store will be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace, and Microsoft development tools will be used to create applications to run on Nokia Windows Phones for the benefits of developers to leverage the ecosystems’ global reach.
“Together we will bring consumers a new mobile experience with stellar hardware, innovative software and great services we will create opportunities beyond anything that currently exists,” Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop, said in a video release.
Aside from the partnership with Microsoft, Nokia has also announced it has devised a new leadership team and organisational structure with a focus on speed, results and accountability. In addition, it has highlighted a focus on investments in next generation disruptive technologies.
The Nokia Leadership Team, previously the Group Executive Board, will consist of the following members: Stephen Elop, Esko Aho, Juha Akras, Jerri DeVard, Colin Giles, Rich Green, Jo Harlow, Timo Ihamuotila, Mary McDowell, Kai Oistamo, Tero Ojanpera, Louise Pentland and Niklas Savander.
Alberto Torres has stepped down from the management team, citing a desire to pursue other interests.
The company has also restructured and will be split into two divisions - Smart Devices and Mobile Phones. Each unit will have its own profit-and-loss responsibility and accountability.
Smart Devices includes Symbian Smartphones, MeeGo Computers and Strategic Business Operations, and will be responsible for the Windows Phone portfolio.
Under the strategy, the much-maligned MeeGo because open source. Going forward, MeeGo will place emphasis on longer-term market exploration. Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later in the year.
The Mobile Phone will drive the company's low to mid range product portfolio.
Nokia Siemens' Networks continues in the Nokia Group as a separate reporting entity.
Is it good or is bad?
Within hours every commentator in the mobility filed had his or her say and as could be expected reactions to the news were varied.
"The Nokia/Microsoft Microsoftalliance ... is far from a natural fit, and it's going to take some serious re-engineering and a lot of time to make it work," noted Carl Howe, an analyst at Yankee Group, in an email.
Windows Phone had a "very high hardware requirement", Howe said, arguing that it would only fit in expensive Nokia smartphone hardware. That meant that at least 70 per cent of Nokia buyers won't see any Microsoft software "for years to come."
"It's way too early to tell if this partnership will be successful or if anybody ... will care about Nokia smartphones or tablets running Windows Phone 7," Forrester Research analyst, Ted Schadler, wrote in his blog.
Schadler listed a number of things that need to happen for the alliance to succeed, among them creating a tablet computer on a Windows Phone OS. Nokia also has to sign up carriers willing to sell the new WP7 smartphones and tablets, he said, and the partnership must ensure porting of Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel and SharePoint Workspace to those devices.
After ticking off that list of requirements, Schadler said, "If they execute brilliantly, then they could be relevant."
But at least one commentator said the Nokia-Microsoft alliance was good news ... for Apple-legally speaking. Florian Mueller, a technology patent and intellectual property expert, explains in a blog post how Nokia's decision to join forces with Microsoft could end the heated legal battle between Apple and Nokia over alleged patent infringement.
Regardless of the strategic advantages for Microsoft and Nokia resulting from this partnership--and my conspiracy theory notwithstanding--there are also legal benefits for Nokia. Had Elop chosen to jump on the Android bandwagon, he might have exposed Nokia to additional patent infringement charges and more law suits from Apple. By teaming with Microsoft, Nokia has a deep patent pool to draw from and can most likely bring its legal battles with Apple to a close.
"I can't imagine that Apple would assert any of its patents against Windows Phone 7. Nokia is now covered by Microsoft as far as Windows Phone-based devices are concerned, and it's been a long time since Apple and Microsoft had (and settled) a patent dispute. They need each other," Mueller said.
While patent litigation has developed into a standard business practice and competitive strategy for tech companies, it uses up a lot of resources unnecessarily. Mueller sums up with, "I won't venture to predict when Apple and Nokia will finally settle, but I wouldn't be surprised if it now happened within a matter of months."
Market researcher, Gartner, said technically, Nokia's E7 smartphone is a better option for enterprises than Windows Phone 7 phones. But Nokia's announcement it will adopt Microsoft's Windows Phone as its primary smartphone OS means users have to prepare to switch.
Businesses that have ordered the new Symbian 3-based Nokia E7, which started shipping in the US this week, have bought a good product, but will have to move from that environment in about two years, according to Leif-Olof Wallin, research vice president at Gartner. Windows Phone 7 is mainly a consumer-focused OS.
"I'd rather go with an E7 today than a smartphone based on Windows Phone 7," Wallin said.
Windows Phone 7 isn't ready for the enterprise market yet. It still needs the ability to load applications from sources other than Microsoft's Marketplace, and on-device encryption, according to Wallin.
However, implementing on-device encryption on Windows Phone 7 isn't necessary, thanks to the lack of a removable memory card, the remote wipe feature and a password to disable the lock screen, said Peter Wissinger, business group director at Microsoft Nordic's mobile communications business. Adding on-device encryption also slows performance, drains the battery and makes the phone more difficult to use, Wissinger said.
IT departments can prepare by implementing a management platform that can handle multiple OSes, Wissinger said. Such platforms are available from companies including MobileIron and Excitor, he said.
Gartner's Wallin agreed. In general, implementing a management platform that can handle multiple OSes is a good strategy because pressure from users to bring their own phone to work is mounting, he said.
At a briefing on the tie-up with Microsoft, Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop, fielded questions about the future of Nokia's Symbian-based Eseries smartphones by saying that Windows Phone 7, from now on, is its primary smartphone platform. He also objected to criticism that Windows Phone 7 isn't enterprise ready, and added that the productivity applications on the OS are the best there is.
Elop was president of Microsoft's business software group until Nokia tapped him to lead the company last September.
Microsoft CEO, Steve Ballmer, who was also at the announcement, hinted that Microsoft is working on adding more features to Windows Phone 7 that administrators and IT departments will appreciate, but did not go into detail.
The partnership also has a massive impact on developers who had previously built a business around coding apps for Symbian smartphones were put on notice Friday that they should pick another platform, as Nokia announced its switch to Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. Other platforms will be maneuvering to win them over while Nokia tries to encourage them to retrain and work with its new partner.
Symbian, the OS in Nokia's smartphones, was a fading star even before Friday's announcement that Nokia will drop it in favor of Windows Phone 7 as part of a broader partnership with Microsoft. Nokia's market share had been slipping ever since the launch of Apple's first iPhone, which simplified the distribution of mobile apps with its online App Store. However, things went downhill faster after the arrival of Android, sales of which overtook Symbian in the fourth quarter, according to some estimates.
There are about 200 million Symbian phones in use, 50 million of them compatible with its Qt app development framework, according to Purnima Kochikar, head of Forum Nokia at Developer Community. The company expects to sell another 150 million Symbian phones, including some yet-to-be-released models, before finally abandoning the platform altogether. At current sales rates, that would take it just over a year, although sales can be expected to slow now that the platform is on its way out. And given the rate at which consumers replace their mobile phones, it's unlikely that the number of Symbian devices actually in use will grow during this period.
"I suspect this won't affect the current crop of Symbian^3 phones ... but this does sound like the death knell for Symbian. A sad day," said Neil Briscoe, in a post on the All About Symbian forums.
App developers targeting the Symbian platform, then, are faced with a shrinking market with a limited life. Those targeting MeeGo, another Nokia-backed OS that hasn't even reached the market yet, are in an even worse situation: there is no installed base, and Nokia says that it will release just one MeeGo-based device before casting the platform adrift.
Nokia will do what it can to help developers code for Windows Phone, company executives said. However, that help won't extend to porting Qt, the development framework with which Symbian and MeeGo developers are familiar, to Windows Phone.
"It would fragment that environment, which would be repeating our mistakes of the past," Nokia spokesman, James Etheridge, said.

Robert Downey Jr played Iron Man for almost a decade in MCU. We have experienced so many Marvel Flicks and crossovers because of him. When he was cast as Iron Man, Kevin Feige took a gamble on casting him; because of his background history, no one in Hollywood wanted to work with him. But Now, he is one of the highest-paid stars in Hollywood. But do you know how much he paid for his character portrayal from Iron Man (2008) to Avengers Endgame (2019)?
For his first movie in MCU, he was paid $500000. This also covered up for his cameo in The Incredible Hulk (2008). On the other hand, Terrence Howard was paid $3.5 Million since he was a giant star than RDJ at the time.
Iron Man 2
After much success with Iron Man, RDJ was paid $10 Million for the second part. Terrence Howard was expected to make $8 million for Iron Man 2, a significant increase over the $4.5 million he got for the original film. But he says RDJ got him fired and took his money for the second movie.
RDJ was paid 50 million dollars for the first Avengers movies, While Samuel L. Jackson & Scarlett Johansson got paid $6 Million, and Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo & Chris Hemsworth were paid $2-3 Million.
Iron Man 3
For the third part of Iron Man, he was paid $50 Million, though it closed the doors for his solo Iron Man movies.
Avengers: Age of Ultron
For the Avengers: Age of Ultron, he was paid $60 Million, Scarlett Johansson made $20 Million, Chris Evans made $6.9 Million, Jeremy Renner made $6.1 Million, and Chris Hemsworth made $5.4 Million, and Mark Ruffalo made $2.8 Million.
Captain America: Civil War
For Captain America: Civil War, he was paid $64 Million, while his costars were paid the same as in Avengers: Age of Ultron.
For approximately 10 minutes of screentime, he was Paid $15 Million.
Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame
For both the Final Avengers movies, he was paid $150Million, $75 for each. At the same time, Scarlett Johansson made $20 Million, Chris Evans made $8 Million, Jeremy Renner made $6.1 Million, Chris Hemsworth made $12 Million, Mark Ruffalo made $5.6 Million, Chadwick Boseman made $2-3 Million, Benedict Cumberbatch made $5 Million, and Tom Hiddleston made $8 Million.

Tektronix has launched two SMU source measure unit modules for the Keithley 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer that can perform low-current measurements even in the presence of high load capacitance due to long cables and complex test setups. These are particularly aimed at LCD display manufacturing and nano FET device testing on a chuck.
The 4201-SMU and 4211-SMU are designed specifically for test setups with long cables, switch matrices, gate contacts to the chuck, and other fixturing. Such test setups, which are required in a number of low current measurement applications, can increase the capacitance seen at the output of the SMU, even though the device under test itself has very low capacitance. When the test connection capacitance is too high, the resulting low current measurements can become unstable.
To address these challenges, the new modules can source voltage and measure current with longer cables or more connection capacitance than possible using a traditional SMU. This saves researchers and manufacturing test engineers the time and cost that would otherwise be spent troubleshooting and reconfiguring test setups.
"High load capacitance resulting from elaborate test setups is a growing problem as current levels are reduced to save energy, as is the case with testing the large LCD panels that ultimately end up in smartphones or tablet computers," said Peter Griffiths, General Manager Systems & Software, Keithley division of Tektronix. "Our new modules excel at making stable low-current measurements and will immediately benefit many of our existing and future customers."
At the lowest supported current measurement range, the 4201 SMU and 4211 SMU can source into and measure a system that is 1,000 times more capacitive than what's possible today. For example, if the current level is between 1 to 100 pA (picoamp), the new Keithley modules can be stable with as much as 1 µF of load capacitance. In contrast, the maximum load capacitance competitive units can tolerate before measurement stability degrades is just 1,000 pF (picofarad), or 1,000 times worse.

While working at the airport for the past year this has been my go to lunch/ dinner spot and it never disappoints. Fish is always fresh, chips hand cut and crispy. The family who run the shop are always lovely even when they are slammed during the summer months. I have tried many fish and chip spots around Wellington and this is hands down the best. Pretty good price as well. I’m going to miss this place when I move back to Auckland.
Grab a chicken burger, cross the road and sit on a beach bench while you’re munching it to have a best everyday experience, summer or winter.
Thanks Vicky and staff, you’re the best ❤

text: To Kill a Mockingbird is a novel rich with symbols and imagery. We watch as Jem and Scout experience that their picturesque town is not as perfect and innocent as it appears. It is a "coming of age" story, and we see Jem, in particular, move from the naiveté of a young boy into a young adult who becomes aware that evil and danger can exist anywhere, even Maycomb, Alabama. At the onset, the mystery of Boo Radley pierces the innocence of all three children: Jem, Scout and Dill. Like all children, they are curious regarding the mystery that surrounds him. There are many rumors about the fact that he was a violent teenager, and the children are frightened by him too. Yet, this pales in comparison to the antagonist of the novel, Bob Ewell. In him, the children uncover pure evil. So, as Jem (and Scout to a certain extent) teeter between the innocence of their childhood and the harsh realities of the adult world, they find a safe haven in the tree house. Despite the fact that Jem is moving from one world to another, he has a place to a transition. He can take a respite from the darker more sinister world of adulthood and take refuge in his tree house, a place of peace, solitude and innocence.

The second Estonian dress I made last summer (2014), was the first ever order from a person I did not previously know. It was a proud, yet really scary moment. On the request of the customer, I was using cotton, a material that I wasn’t very familiar with (I have mostly used merino wool) and I was so unsure if I could make the dress that exactly matches my customer’s vision. To top it all – the dress was for a bit older child and so far I had only made dresses for newborns.
While knitting this project, I also got a couple of lessons. My lovely first customer, Maarja, taught me to value my time. I did not ask a high price for this dress – I was so unsure how much I should ask and besides, it was my very first order outside family and friends.
She taught me to value my time – how much time and effort you put in it.. + materials + it’s handmade and unique. This is true – I have never made two dresses that are exactly the same.
The second lesson was not to underestimate how different materials can be. I found it very difficult to knit such pattern using cotton yarn. However, I managed it and my customer was very happy with the dress. You always remember your first customer. She is also a crafty person, so we are now catching up from time to time and I feel very grateful for that.
Once again I used a motive that is often used in our national crafts and accustomed it to the dress of this size.

Get exclusive assessment and cryptocurrency insights on Hacked.com for just $39 for each month.
South Korean authorities are cleared to confiscate 191 bitcoins, about $1.43 million, from the operator of a baby pornography website in addition to a jail sentence and a penalty.
In a ruling on Wednesday, South Korea’s Supreme Courtroom mentioned that cryptocurrency can be deemed a forfeitable asset in a prison prosecution, Yonhap News stories.
In undertaking so, the Supreme Court upheld an appellate court’s conviction and overturned a reduced court’s ruling to reject a prosecutor’s ask for for the forfeiture of the 33-calendar year-aged accused’s bitcoin holdings after he was 1st charged in May perhaps 2014.
A decreased court had earlier ruled that the accused’s cyber assets can’t be seized considering that they have no physical form and only exist electronically. Today’s Supreme Court buy has overruled that conclusion, ruling that cryptocurrency can figure as “profit earned from trade in items.” Even now, it remains to be noticed how authorities move to seize the operator’s cryptocurrency and administer it subsequently.
The operator of the website has also been handed a sentence of 18 months in jail and a penalty of 696 million gained ($644,000) in addition to obtaining his bitcoins seized.
Today’s ruling could have broader ramifications for a amount of other legal conditions involving cryptocurrencies. A collection of raids into cryptocurrency exchanges about embezzlement of users’ crypto cash have viewed executives detained and laptop or computer components seized.
An ongoing legal case into a important $250 million ethereum mining rip-off has viewed Korean prosecutors file costs from various people today linked with a US-centered cryptocurrency mining firm, accusing it of fraudulently soliciting revenue from Korean nationals and traders close to the globe.

Brad Pitt and Angelia Jolie have accepted damages from the News of the World after it reported that they were splitting up.
Neither of the actors were present at London's High Court when the undisclosed sum was awarded.
The couple began legal proceedings in February for misuse of private information and breach of the 1998 Data Protection Act, after the paper published a story claiming that they had visited a divorce lawyer in December 2009 and subsequently signed a Â£205 million separation deal agreeing to equally share their fortune and custody of their children.
In a statement from Schillings Lawyers, Sorrell Trope said that he had never met either Pitt or Jolie.
"I have never met... your clients or had any involvement with either of them," he said. "The foregoing is true with respect to all other members of this firm."
A lawyer for the pair told the court that News Group Newspapers now accepted that the allegations were "false and intrusive".
He said that the News of the World, which argued that it had acted in good faith, will now publish an agreed apology.
Pitt and Jolie will donate the costs and damages they are paid by the newspaper to their charity, the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
