Fulfilling My Delta Production Mission in Incredible India
By Bobby Lai, Delta India
India is a very unfamiliar country for a Taiwanese professional. I never expected to have a chance to visit, much less live and work here. But in fact, I've been working at Delta India for more than two years up until now. Let me share with you how I ended up in the amazing land, my success factors and my mission to make Delta India production a pillar of Delta Group.
Back in December 2017, I was at a quality diagnosis meeting at Delta China's Wujiang factory. There Mr. James Ng and Mr. Dick Hsieh met me and invited me to transfer to Delta India to become the operations head at a new factory starting construction the following year.
So on December 1, 2018, I took a flight from Taiwan and arrived at Bangalore airport. It was my first time to work as an expatriate at Delta India. The sense I got when I first saw India was almost the same as when I went to China for my first business trip back in 1995. The biggest difference is India had more cars on the road.
The first surprise to me was the weather in Bangalore, I thought India is a very hot country like Thailand but the temperature here is very comfortable for living. The initial challenges for me were food and communication, but my adaption to these would improve gradually. It is not difficult to find Chinese food in India and also to get delicious western food. What surprised me is that you can get all kinds of homemade beers at restaurants in India. This is a real pleasure if you like beer.
How to enjoy living in India is a good topic to cover as a foreigner. Learning the culture of your host country is the most important thing for a foreigner to do. Especially since I need to lead the local team. Most of our thinking or judgment is based on previous experience and what we learned in the past but the behavior of Indians, the local regulations and laws are the most critical aspects for me to consider when I make decisions.
I got lots of support from my team and step-by-step I learned know how to align the local rules to make the right judgement. This would prove to be the key success factor for me and my work with our Delta India team.
"Incredible India" is the best description for this vast country. Buddhism was brought from India to China, then to Taiwan and so I can see lots of gods who are the same as those I saw in Taiwan. To be modest is a big part of Buddhist philosophy. I am very interested to visit temples here as it helps me to understand the history of Buddhism more deeply.
In 2015, our Delta management team made a united decision to sign an MoU with the Government of India cementing Delta's commitment to invest in India. This included a new headquarters/R&D lab in Bangalore and new manufacturing factories in Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu. India is regarded as the 2nd China in terms of economic growth in the near future and this should be the main reason for Delta's investment.
The aim of the new Krishnagiri factory will be to first invest 40B INR and provide 20,000 job opportunities. Our production output will be ramped up subsequently and by 2028, Delta India's new factory will become the 3rd largest production site for Delta. Making this production ambitious plan a reality is my mission during my assignment in India. The trade war between the US and China gave Delta the motivation to speed up the emergence of our Delta India factory. We should be able to achieve our targets in 2024 and 2028.
I am glad to have the chance to work in the top two largest countries of the world– China and India in my Delta career. It is largely thanks to the local teams who support me to push forward the new factory setup that we can achieve so much. Let's continue working closely and keep having the strong confidence we need to create the highest capability of operations in our Delta India team.
About the Author (Guest Contributor)
I joined Delta in 2000 as a quality manager of PSBG in Taiwan and soon transferred to Delta China to be a plant manager. In 2010, I returned to Taiwan as a project manager at the corporate quality headquarters. In 2012, I became regional quality director in China before returning to my plant manager role. Since 2018, I've been with DIN as the operation head for preparing our new factory.

This 5 day walk goes from the Southern Kawekas up over Mt Meany and through the Harkness Valley to the South Western corner of Kaimanawas. Wouldn't have rated it so difficult if the bush bashing wasn't so hefty on second day. Might be able to find an easier route (described below). Might be able to do walk with out GPS but would make it a lot easier with.
First day is quite an easy 4.5 hr walk up the Ngaruroro River to Cameron Hut. Access to the river can be found at the Northern part of the Kuripapango Campsite. Walk down the trail till you get to the (locked) cableway and start walking up stream. Along the way there is a nice campsite which is a good spot for lunch.
Cameron Hut • By jamiec. Licence: C.
Cameron Hut (Kaweka) • Standard Hut (DOC). Capacity: 6.
This day was quite ferocious. Bush bashing through the tea tree was difficult and probably took about 9 hours or so to get to the hut. Upon reflection I would probably have gone another way such as gone straight up Mt Te Iringa after the Cameron Hut Swing bridge and followed the tracks on the peaks to the Rocky Point Hut (private) or Walked in from the road along the Tahuhunui Range. If you do go up Mt Te Iringa I think there is a dilapidated bivouac called Roberts Biv located at NZTM2000 N1881300 E5636800, and on that note from what I could see Rock Camp Bivouac (as listed on the topo maps) does NOT exist.
All this being said, if you do decide to go my way, here's what you do. After leaving Cameron Hut, walk up the trail till the turn off to the left towards the swing bridge. After about 15 minutes walk you will cross the swing bridge then turn to the right and walk upstream. There is a sign here saying that you are entering private land and to contact Kahu Hikuai. Proably a good idea to call because you can also ask about staying at the private huts on the top. His phone number is 068794119.
The track on the other side of the swing bridge is very poorly maintained. I would recommend walking upstream only as far as necessary to get access to the river again. Once you're on the river, walk up until you get to Raoraoroa Stream. Walk up Raoraoroa Stream for about about 200 metres where you will see a waterfall on your right. This is where things got a bit hectic. Go up the waterfall and in between the Raoraoroa Stream and the waterfall is a ridge that you will be able to follow up to the tops. I say this lightly but it took me over 7 hours of bush bashing to reach the tops. You will go over a couple of crests along the way and at 951m you change your coarse from West to North West. At this point tea tree starts to thin out a bit and it becomes a little bit easier to navigate through.
Once your on the tops you should be able to see the private hut - Rocky Point. The hut is private, comfortable and easily sleeps 4. There is a table and chairs and cooking implements provided. If you were to have an lpg bottle you could get the stove fired up as well.
Rocky Hill Hut • By jamiec. Licence: C.
Rocky Hill Hut • Private hut (PVT). Capacity: 4.
This is another long day and could be broken up with a stop at either Otutu Island Hut (private & aka Mt Meany Flats Hut) or Otutu Hut. Although it is a long day it is mostly along trailed routes so is not too difficult. Start by walking across the grass lands towards Mt. Meany. If you follow the clearing to the North East of high point 1111 you will find a trail through the forested area marked by pink tape.
The view from Mt. Meany is beautiful but keep away from the trig because it looks like the bees have made a nest in there. From there walk North towards the Otutu Bush. Just before you get on the trail through the forested area to Otutu Bush there is an 'island' of trees and there you will find Otutu Island Hut (private). This also sleeps 4 people and there is water supply from the roof.
Mt Meany Flats Hut • By jamiec. Licence: C.
Otutu Island Hut (Mt Meany Flats Hut) • Private hut (PVT). Capacity: 4.
From here follow the trail north through the native forest. The trail is well maintained and comes out in a clearing at the high point of Otutu Bush. You need to now you head East but will find some dense scrub in the way. If you look to the North of the scrub you should be able to find a trail that will lead you round the scrub and into the clear. From here walk to what is the highest point in this trail (1411 m) and turn SW. From here you can get onto the trail North down and then up a steep ridge. This is where the turn off to Ngaawapurua Hut is. The trail is no longer maintained by doc but is still quite manageable. Just follow the ridge to the North and you will eventually get down to the river where the swing bridge was removed to Ngaawapurua Hut.
Ngaawapurua Hut • By jamiec. Licence: C.
Ngaawapurua Hut • Standard Hut (DOC). Capacity: 6.
The trail from here is quite easy compared to the previous days. It is a nice days walk through the tussock filled Harkness Valley where you pass Harkness Hut and Tussock Hut. Tussock Hut is a good place to stop for lunch and you should reach there after about 4 hours or so.
Tussock Hut • By jamiec. Licence: C.
Tussock Hut • Standard Hut (DOC). Capacity: 6.
After Tussock Hut you climb up to 1254m and have a gentle descent down a ridge to the Ngaruroro River. It will take you about an hour and a half to get to the Ngaruroro River and from there another hour to get to Boyd Hut. Boyd Hut is well facillitated with 16 bunks and is located beside a runway.
Another option from Tussock Hut is to walk up over the Mangapapa Saddle to Oamaru Hut. There is a track that leaves Tussock Hut in this direction but the track is said to be un marked. There is a sign at the hut saying it takes about 4 or 5 hours but I would expect it to take longer than that.
This is a gentle days walking down the Oamaru River Valley and out to the road end. The track to Oamaru Hut takes about 4 hours and is a good place for lunch.
Oamaru Hut • Standard Hut (DOC). Capacity: 12.
From there it is 4 hours to the road end where there is the public car park. A lot of the rest of the walk is along forestry roads. If you are tired and looking for a short way out you may want to follow Oamaru Road (the trail goes along that but then turns off) to the Red Hut Highway (main road to Poronui) and try to hitch out. You will probably have better luck on the weekdays for this as there will be more forestry workers about then. This might also be a shorter way (however less scenic) way to walk back as well.

HIV drug reduces graft-versus-host disease in stem cell transplant patients, Penn study shows
(SAN DIEGO) -- An HIV drug that redirects immune cell traffic appears to significantly reduce the dangerous complication graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in blood cancer patients following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (ASCT), according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania that will be presented today at the 53rd American Society of Hematology Annual Meeting. Standard GvHD treatments suppress the immune system, reducing - but not eliminating - the risk of developing the common problem. In the current trial, treatment with the HIV drug maraviroc dramatically reduced the incidence of GvHD in organs where it is most dangerous -- without compromising the immune system and leaving patients more vulnerable to severe infections.
"There hasn't been a change to the standard of care for GvHD since the late 1980s, so we're very excited about these results, which exceeded our expectations," says Ran Reshef, MD, an assistant professor in the division of Hematology-Oncology and a member of the Hematologic Malignancies Research Program at Penn's Abramson Cancer Center. "Until now, we thought that only extreme suppression of the immune system can get rid of GvHD, but in this approach we are not killing immune cells or suppressing their activity, we are just preventing them from moving into certain sensitive organs that they could harm."
Reshef and colleagues will present results showing that maraviroc is safe and feasible in ASCT patients - those who receive stem cells from a healthy donor -- and that a brief course of the drug led to a 73 percent reduction in severe GvHD in the first six months after transplant, compared with a matched control group treated at Penn during the same time period (6 percent developed severe GvHD vs. 22 percent, respectively).
"Just like in real estate, immune responses are all about location, location, location," Reshef says. "Cells of the immune system don't move around the body in a random way. There is a very distinct and well orchestrated process whereby cells express particular receptors on their surface that allow them to respond to small proteins called chemokines. The chemokines direct the immune cells to specific organs, where they are needed, or in the case of GvHD, to where they cause damage."
Thirty-eight patients with blood cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, lymphoma, myelofibrosis, and others, enrolled in the phase I/II trial. All patients received the standard GvHD prevention drugs tacrolimus and methotrexate, plus a 33-day course of maraviroc that began two days before transplant. In the first 100 days after transplant, none of the patients treated with maraviroc developed GvHD in the gut or liver. By contrast, 12.5 percent of patients in the control group developed GvHD in the gut and 8.3 percent developed it in the liver within 100 days of their transplant.
The differential impact of maraviroc on those organs indicates that the drug is working as expected, by limiting the movement of T lymphocytes to specific organs in the body. Maraviroc works by blocking the CCR5 receptor on lymphocytes, preventing the cells from trafficking to certain organs. The researchers saw no effect on skin GvHD, so they theorize that the CCR5 receptor might be more important for sending lymphocytes into the liver and the gut than for the skin.
After 180 days, the benefit of maraviroc appeared to be partially sustained in patients and the cumulative incidence of gut and liver GvHD rose only to 8.8 percent and 2.9 percent, respectively. The cumulative incidence in the control group, however, remained higher, at 28.4 percent for gut and 14.8 percent for liver GvHD. Based on those data, the research team plans to try a longer treatment regimen with maraviroc to see if they could prolong the protective effect.
Maraviroc treatment did not appear to increase treatment-related toxicities in these patients, nor did it alter the relapse rate of their underlying disease.
David Porter, MD, professor of Medicine and director of Blood and Marrow Transplantation in the Abramson Cancer Center, and Robert Vonderheide, MD, DPhil, associate professor of Medicine and Associate Director for Translational Research at the Abramson Cancer Center, are the senior authors of the study.
Funding support for this investigator-initiated trial comes from Pfizer, the makers of maraviroc, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, the American Society of Hematology, and the National Institutes of Health (K24-CA117879).
The findings will be presented at 8:30 AM PST on Tuesday, December 13, in the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego's Douglas Pavilion A.

Lizzo Explained Why She Thinks 'Cancel Culture Is Appropriation': 'There Was Real Outrage'
Cancel culture has been a hot topic of discussion for the past few years, and at the same time, cultural appropriation has been one for even longer. Over the weekend, Lizzo connected the two topics in an unexpected way in a tweet that she worried came at "a random time" but felt important enough to her to explain. Calling the current obsession with cancel culture an example of appropriation, the singer broke down how the former changed as its ubiquity grew.
"This may be a random time to say this but it's on my heart…" she wrote. "Cancel culture is appropriation." Heading off the knee-jerk reactions she saw coming, she explained, "There was real outrage from truly marginalized people and now it's become trendy, misused, and misdirected. I hope we can phase out of this & focus our outrage on the real problems."

Commenters' reactions varied, with some pointing out a similar parallel in the rise of the misuse of the term "woke." "You've reminded me of how white nationalists have appropriated 'woke' to weaponize against the community that the expression hails from, as well," read one reply. However, others argued against Lizzo's statement — although it must be noted most of those didn't really seem to engage with the substance of it.
Lizzo has always been an outspoken voice on sensitive subjects like body image, cultural identity, and community activism. She may have thought it was a "random time" to address her thoughts, but it's never a bad time to talk about ways to make the world a better, more equitable, kinder place.

Rockettes, Rockstars and Rockbottom
by Keltie Colleen
Caught between backstage and center stage, Keltie Colleen opens a window to her intriguing life of dance and rock n' roll. In between gigs, Keltie optimistically untangles complicated rockstar romances, while clinging to her own identity. Simultaneously tragic and hopeful, Keltie's story is an honest, powerful and ultimately uplifting guide to following your dreams and losing your heart.
After a foreword from Tony award winning director and choreographer, Jerry Mitchell, Keltie Colleen introduces herself – an average, everyday sort of girl from an average town with average parents. Ever since she can remember, she wanted to be a dancer. Throughout Rockettes, Rockstars and Rockbottom, we watch Keltie move to New York City and follow her dreams. She struggles and overcomes incredible odds to be invited into the world's premier dance company, The Radio City Rockettes. All of her dreams come true just as she falls madly in love for the first time with her complete opposite: a long-haired, whisky-drinking, rockstar. Keltie takes us on an adventure complete with painful missteps on her path to finding love, dealing with loss and working as a performer in the entertainment industry. When rockstar number one breaks her heart, Keltie replaces him with a long-haired, skinny jean wearing clone. And when that relationship ends, she finds herself dancing on the MTV Video Music Award stage making love eyes at her next skinny jean wearing future boyfriend, whose face in the coming months would taunt her from the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Keltie hits rockbottom after finding out that rockstar number three had not only been touring all over the world, but touring the beds of various women. Left in a state of disbelief, she vows to break her addiction to emotionally unavailable men in skinny jeans. She does what any women does when her heart is broken: she cries, stops eating and is sure her life is over. Keltie walks us through the steps of healing heartbreak and finding yourself after your identity is stolen by someone else's heart. Her ability to be honest to herself and then share that with the world is not only incredibly brave, but inspiring. Charmingly awkward, her resiliency, determination and love of life are truly something to aspire to. It's the one story we want to hear again and again, a love story with a happy ending.
Keltie Colleen is a dancer-choreographer-blogger and teen icon. High kicking as one of the world famous Radio City Rockettes.

Persistent fatigue induced by interferon-alpha: a novel, inflammation-based, proxy model of chronic fatigue syndrome
By • ProHealth.com • December 31, 2018
The role of immune or infective triggers in the pathogenesis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is not yet fully understood. Barriers to obtaining immune measures at baseline (i.e., before the trigger) in CFS and post-infective fatigue model cohorts have prevented the study of pre-existing immune dysfunction and subsequent immune changes in response to the trigger. This study presents interferon-alpha (IFN-α)-induced persistent fatigue as a model of CFS. IFN-α, which is used in the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection, induces a persistent fatigue in some individuals, which does not abate post-treatment, that is, once there is no longer immune activation. This model allows for the assessment of patients before and during exposure to the immune trigger, and afterwards when the original trigger is no longer present.
Fifty-five patients undergoing IFN-α treatment for chronic HCV were assessed at baseline, during the 6-12 months of IFN-α treatment, and at six-months post-treatment. Measures of fatigue, cytokines and kynurenine pathway metabolites were obtained. Fifty-four CFS patients and 57 healthy volunteers completed the same measures at a one-off assessment, which were compared with post-treatment follow-up measures from the HCV patients. Eighteen patients undergoing IFN-α treatment (33%) were subsequently defined as having 'persistent fatigue' (the proposed model for CFS), if their levels of fatigue were higher six-months post-treatment than at baseline; the other 67% were considered 'resolved fatigue'.
Patients who went on to develop persistent fatigue experienced a greater increase in fatigue symptoms over the first four weeks of IFN-α, compared with patients who did not (Δ Treatment Week (TW)-0 vs. TW4; PF: 7.1 ± 1.5 vs. RF: 4.0 ± 0.8, p = 0.046). Moreover, there was a trend towards increased baseline interleukin (IL)-6, and significantly higher baseline IL-10 levels, as well as higher levels of these cytokines in response to IFN-α treatment, alongside concurrent increases in fatigue. Levels increased to more than double those of the other patients by Treatment Week (TW)4 (p = 0.011 for IL-6 and p = 0.001 for IL-10).
There was no evidence of an association between persistent fatigue and peripheral inflammation six-months post-treatment, nor did we observe peripheral inflammation in the CFS cohort. While there were changes in kynurenine metabolites in response to IFN-α, there was no association with persistent fatigue. CFS patients had lower levels of the ratio of kynurenine to tryptophan and 3-hydroxykynurenine than controls. Future studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms behind the initial exaggerated response of the immune system in those who go on to experience persistent fatigue even if the immune trigger is no longer present, and the change from acute to chronic fatigue in the absence of continued peripheral immune activation.

Hunger strikes against the isolation of Abdullah Öcalan are spreading.
Huseyin Yildiz is the latest Kurdish activist to join the hunger strike to demand the end of the isolation against Kurdish people's Leader Abdullah Öcalan.
Yildiz went on hunger strike in the Dutch city of Den Haag and said he has decided to follow on the path initiated by HDP Hakkari MP Leyla Güven who is now on the 74th day of hunger strike.


Last week I wrote about the advantages of using a trainer to help you with your trading. While finding a trainer can be a time consuming task here is something everyone can do right away to markedly improve their performance -- start a trading diary. A diary may seem like a nuisance -- something only teenage girls maintain -- but trust me, it is well worth the effort.
There are plenty of very good FX platforms out there that will marry all of your trades for you and will provide you with a seamless record of your trading performance, all at a touch of a button. However, I prefer to do things the manual way by cutting and pasting every single trade from my brokerage account into an Excel spreadsheet and then arrange them myself.
A very long time ago, when computers were just becoming popular tools for trading, I remember reading about old time technical traders who lamented the fact that the new machines eliminated the lost art of graphing the price action by hand. At the time, I found their Luddite grousing amusing but now as I meticulously build my trading diary one trade at a time, I've come to appreciate their point. In order to truly absorb and understand information the human mind needs time. The act of writing out your activity trade by trade not only helps you maintain good records but also allows you to analyse your actions with much greater detail.
When you are scalping ten to twenty times per day there is no time for reflection, but on a quiet Saturday morning as you transcribe the week's activities you can begin to see what is working and what is not. Here is one thing that I learned from my trading diary that has helped me immensely. Winning trades resolve themselves very quickly while losers drag on like a line at the Motor vehicles bureau. I suspected that this was the case when I first started trading my strategy given the fact that it is based on momentum, but even I was surprised at the speed of the winners. More than a few of my winning trades went from limit entry to take profit in less than one minute. The losers almost never proved that quick dripping pips like an FX version of Chinese water torture until they would eventually stop me out.
As result of my research I put a time stop as well as price stop to my trades and my risk control improved markedly. There are a million little adjustments like that that you may make as result of keeping a trading diary. I recommend doing it on a weekend when the markets are closed and you can have clear, objective assessment of your performance that week. Remember the function of the diary isn't to tell you whether you've lost or won -- your account equity can answer that question in an instant. The function of a diary is to make you question your trading methodology so that you may refine and improve it.

If you're looking for a room in your house to refresh without too much effort, choose your bathroom. The area is typically small enough that even a subtle tweak can make a major difference. Stocking your lavatory with pretty soap, soft scents, and a dash of greenery are only a few ways to add an elevated feel to the space.
Even an impressive detail like tightly folded towels can win bonus points in a washroom. Give your bathroom a minor (or major) makeover this spring with these stylish pieces.


How does the Russian propaganda works - Life in Ukraine. Live, @ first hand.
This was reported by NSDC Information Center spokesman Andriy Lysenko during a traditional press briefing in Kyiv.
There has appeared another lie from Russian propaganda. This night Russian Military forces TV channel 'Zvezda' [Star] accused the ATO forces in the shelling of the town of Makyivka with rocket complex 'Tochka-U' during a battle. In the video, they say that Ukrainian Armed Forces shell the town in order to liberate in until the Independence Day [24.08]. In addition, Russians threatened Ukraine with international scandal for such 'crime'.
According to analysts of Information and Analytical center of NSDC [National Security and Defense Coucil] the video fragment that depicts the usage of weapon of massive destruction in the town of Makyivka [Donetsk oblast] – a rocket that was allegedly launched by Ukrainian militants in reality concerns quite another event – the explosion of Russian rocket in Baikonur Cosmodrome [Kazakhstan] on July 2, 2013. In the video down below one can see the comparison of TV news made by Russian TV and real video record of an explosion at Baikonur.
We remind that not once Russian accused Ukraine in the usage of a ballistic missile in settlements. All the accusations were unreasonable.

The nature of numbers is strange. Make them too big (e.g. Americans paid $33 billion in overdraft fees last year) and they're hard to wrap your head around. Say "nickel & dime", on the other hand, and the phrase is quaint but lacks impact. Nickels and dimes are the loose change that rattles annoyingly in the bottom of a purse or pocket.
The truth is, the nickel and diming of Americans in the form of bank fees has hit epidemic proportions. It's hurting people at a surprisingly wide range of income levels, yet it often goes unnoticed.
On average, American households are now paying close to $300 in fees annually. Given many people have less than $500 in savings (6 in 10 Americans), the bank fee epidemic is especially painful and detrimental to consumers' financial well-being.
The question is, why do banks need to charge so much in fees? Part of it has to do with the overhead cost of bank branches. Today, most people opt for the ease and simplicity of mobile and online banking services rather than walking down the street to a local bank branch. However, even if you rarely set foot in a local branch (like most millennials), you and millions of Americans are still paying for them in the form of bank fees.
But overhead is just one part of the story. Over the last few decades, consumer banking has dramatically evolved to become less consumer friendly. Back in the day, many banks were small local businesses that primarily made money from interest on loans. Thanks to deregulation, today those small local banks have mostly gone by the wayside or merged into what has become a small set of "big banking" mega-corporations that offer an incredibly diverse set of financial products services.
Last year banks made 33 billion dollars in overdraft fees alone. Most big banks charge a whole host of fees to cash in on their customers including maintenance fees, transfer fees, international transaction fees, service fees, and minimum balance fees to name a few.
When we choose a bank, we put a significant amount of trust into an institution. We expect them to look out for our money and best interests should anything go wrong. Unfortunately, this is not the case with many financial institutions, who've literally made billions by profiting from their customer's misfortune, confusion, or mistakes. Most banks actually profit off of people's mistakes by charging for situations such as an accidental overdraft on an account. To make matters worse, most people who got hit with an overdraft fee didn't even know they were enrolled in so-called overdraft "protection" and would have preferred to have their transaction declined.
Bank fees are so common that many Americans are conditioned to them as the norm or they live in blissful ignorance about how much they're actually paying.
A recent report found that most Americans are simply unaware of how much bank fees cost them each year. While less than half of respondents said they believe they are aware of every fee their bank charges, 78% of said they haven't read their bank account terms and conditions. It's easy to understand why this is the case given most terms and conditions are written in confusing legal language.That leaves consumers in the dark about potential fees on the account and how much they may cost.
The two most common fees that people get hit with are an overdraft and insufficient fund fees. In a study of two million checking accounts where people had opted into overdraft protection, the average monthly fees paid was $21.61. That certainly stings considering 52% of people don't remember opting into overdraft protection and it's associated fees.
Let's focus on overdraft fees for a moment, because they're especially brutal. Most large U.S. banks charge between $35 and $38 per overdraft. A study by Pew Charitable Trust determined that frequent over-drafters have forfeited the equivalent to an entire paycheck due to overdraft fees.
To twist the knife, many big banks have specific ways of processing transactions that can count further against you. They process orders from the largest dollar amount to smallest, rather than in the chronological order they happened in. For example, say you spent $30 on lunch and $80 on dinner in one day, but only had $75 in your account. If your bank processes in chronological order, you'll only be hit with one overdraft fee. If your bank processes from the largest dollar amount to smallest dollar amount, you'll be hit with two overdraft fees. It's a sneaky way to make more money off each customer through overdraft fees.
If you're looking to avoid paying fees to your bank (and you should be), there are some easy ways to keep more money in your pocket and out of theirs.
One of the best places to start is to review your account history to understand just how much your bank has charged you already. Check out Bank Fee Finder, a free reporting service that empowers U.S. consumers to uncover how much they're paying in hidden bank fees with their current bank. It lets you connect to your bank account and generate a personalized report that identifies fees paid broken down by ATM, overdraft, and monthly fees. The tool supports 17,000 banks in the U.S. and the site is protected by bank-level security including 128-bit encryption and read-only data to ensure the privacy and security of your data. You might be surprised to find out how much you're paying.
Once you understand how much you've paid in fees, make sure you also understand your bank account's terms and conditions. It won't be the most fun you ever have, but carefully reading through the nitty-gritty of your bank agreement can save you a lot of money in the long run. Banks bet on the fact that you're not going read through the agreements. Fee schedules and terms may be buried in fine print or confusingly worded. When in doubt, contact your bank and ask them to explain all of the potential fees associated with your account.
You may be able to negotiate or opt in or out of fees. The only way you'll know this is by doing your homework. Big banks aren't going to tell you how to save money on their fees, so it's best to come armed with all of the information so that you can make your case. Keep your goal in mind (get your fee erased) and do not make it easy for banks to say no. If you've been a loyal customer, be sure to point that out and remind the bank's representative that your business can be taken elsewhere.

Toilets for poor communities in Bolivia
by Nancy Gilbert | Jan 22, 2020
Location – Buena Vista, State of Santa Cruz, Province of Ichilo, Bolivia
Activities – Subsidized provision of composting toilets; training on their use; hygiene promotion.
Period – 1 year, 2020-2021
Beneficiaries – Very low income families
Toilets are a basic necessity and can transform a landscape from a dangerous collection of germs and parasites, to a clean safe environment. Transform International (Canada) and our partner Etta Projects will build composting toilets in very poor villages in the Santa Cruz region of Bolivia.
$1260 CAD
provides a safe toilet, for a family, that will last 20 years with easy maintenance.
Total Budget: $156,240 CAD
Etta Projects (EP) has worked with dry ecological composting latrines – a viable alternative to pits that need emptying – for many years. After much research and testing, EP selected Banos Ecologico Seco (BES) in large part for their durability and user friendliness. This ecological bathroom is built above ground and does not require permanent plumbing or water. The toilet is a double-vault system, with one chamber in use at any given time. The toilet seat itself has two holes so urine is collected separately from feacal matter (poop).
Poop enters the collection chamber, is contained and decomposes; urine is captured separately. After each use of the latrine, dry material (ash or lime) is added to prevent odour, repel bugs, and aid decomposition. Toilet paper can be thrown into the latrine as it does not disrupt decomposition. This approach contains the poop and eliminates risk of faecal matter leaking into ground water.
When this chamber is full, the toilet is moved over the second chamber, and the first chamber is covered. The poop in the first chamber begins the composting process. Once the poop in the first chamber is fully decomposed, it has no unpleasant odour, and is basically rich soil. It can then be safely emptied from the pit and used to improve soil and fertilize fruit trees etc., a further benefit of composting toilets.
This process of alternating the use of the collection chambers and excavating the fully composted contents continues over time.
Our experience has shown the ecological bathroom is ideal for Eastern Bolivia. The hot temperatures in the area allow for faster decomposition of the faecal matter. The area has shallow ground water and is prone to flooding, so typical pit latrines, where the poop is collected in a hole in the ground, can lead to many problems such as contamination of ground water. They overflow easily spreading dangerous germs.
Each family toilet is constructed on the site of the family home by an experienced mason, with the help of at least one family member. All materials are sourced locally. These toilets last at least 20 years and maintenance is minor if used correctly.
The construction cost for each unit is $985 CAD including materials and labor. The administration, training for families and the school adds an additional $275, making the cost per unit $1260. Training is essential for sustainability of the project. Education is at the core of all of our projects.
Sanitation & WASH Education
Each families receives 8-10 workshops on construction and use of their latrine, hygiene, clean water systems, and environmental consciousness. All the schools in each community also receive hygiene promotion programs. For every 10 units a community sanitation promoter (sanitation promoters volunteer and are voted to serve in a community meeting by their fellow community members. They are compensated monthly with household goods such a rice, soap, toilet paper, oil etc.) is trained and assigned to monitor and trouble shoot with families, as well as inspect our work. These sanitation promoters are called on to assist over the next 5 years to help when we come back to monitor in their community. During the course of the project they receive monthly support basket with commonly needed item like soap, toilet paper, rice, beans etc.
Families self-identify for this project long in advance. They commit to the financial counterpart, attendance at workshops and participation in construction. The municipality also agrees to its share of the project which helps to motivate families and gives everyone skin in the game from the beginning. Etta Projects has many community contacts prior to agreeing to a project. Relationship and trust are huge parts of the success of a project.
Etta Projects is an excellent partner for Transform International (Canada) for this work. They have been working in the Buena Vista municipality for the last four years. During that time they have installed 3 water systems and are working presently on two more. They have just completed 132 ecological composting latrines in the area and are in the middle of training 20 community health promoters for 8 communities. Last year they trained 28 medicinal plant promoters in the region.
They are well established in the region and have a good relationship with the municipal government, the health department and all the communities in this region.
The villages seeking BES in Buena Vista
The communities seeking Ecological Composting Latrines include Santa Rosita, a community of 33 families. Twenty-five of these families use pit latrines or open air defecation. The eight that do not worked with Etta Projects in 2018 to build Eco latrines. Since then the other community members have observed the advantages of the composting latrines and are now ready to invest and create a new project in their community.
Villa Amboró has 35 families, all of which use pit latrines or open air defecation. In 2016 Etta Projects worked with this community to get 25 families connected to a clean water system. This again is a gravity fed tank and well system with distribution to each home. The 13 families that were not a part of this system simply live too far from the center to take advantage of the distribution system.
Guadalupe Palometilla is a small community with only 14 families. Due to some extra money on another water project and the eagerness of this community Etta Projects was able to help them have a simple water distribution system in 2016. This again is a gravity fed well system. All 14 families are now requesting Ecological Composting Latrines.
The communities of Villa Amboró and G. Palometilla have already been beneficiaries of EP water projects. Both communities have running water and a working water committee thanks to Etta Projects that worked there between 2016 and 2017. Ever since, they have been asking for the sanitation project. During the Water Committee trainings, community meetings or municipal meetings, their leaders have never lost an opportunity to remind the director of EP to include them in the next BES project.
A neighboring larger community near Guadalupe Palometilla called Caranda with a much larger population have requested to be included in this grant and there are 10 families asking to build eco latrines. This is frequently the process in Bolivia as a few brave families ask to participate in a project and then the rest of the community request in the following year. You can see the same pattern from Santa Rosita in 2018 building 8 and now the rest of the community would like these units.
Finally, also in the Buena Vista Municipality, a community called Carmen Surutu has 98 families, 50 of whom are requesting ecological composting latrines. There are 61 of these families who drink from a safe well built by the municipality, 37 families use shallow wells or go to the river. (We will likely work with these 37 to find a system that may work for them such as home filtration.) They came to Etta Projects in 2016 to ask for help with an Eco latrine system.
Budget for 124 latrines in 5 villages:
Families (15%) $23,426
Other (55%) $85,932
Total $156,240

Displaying the passing of time in a video is often important. It often times helps connect two scenes together, so the general story is preserved. There are very basic ways to do this, like with a fade. These work, and are used quite often. However, like everything else in film making, this is also a great place to insert some style and creativity. I'm going to be showing you one such way to add a little style. Today we are going over how to create a quick split screen in Adobe Premiere Pro CC (2018).
How to Create a Quick Split Screen in Adobe Premiere Pro CC
Import the two clips into the same sequence.
Keep the original on the bottom, and the one to bring in on the top.
We will move to the point we want the effect to begin, then drag the top footage to this point.
Go into effects and look for the crop effect.
Drag this on to the top footage.
Go up to effect controls and find the crop effect. Go to the left property and activate the animation by clicking on the stop watch.
Now move forward about 10 frames. Bring the left to 50%. This will bring it in half way.
Right click on the keyframes. Make the first one easy out, and the second easy in.
Go to the effects of the bottom footage. Go up to motion, and then position. Start the animation at the beginning of the transition. Move forward to when the animation stops, and center the footage in it's new box.
There you have it. A quick way to make a split screen animation. This can be combined with other effects, or animated further to keep building on it. Think spy movie where there are a bunch of these put together to introduce a new location.

Q: Best way to ensure a PHP variable is an array I have a javascript client passing a parameter to a server function (I'm using ExtJS Direct). Sometimes the client sends a single object, sometimes it sends an array of objects.
Currently I'm using this EnsureArray function to ensure the parameter is an array, and then I do foreach:
// Wraps a non array variable with an array.
function EnsureArray( &$aVar )
{
    if ( !is_array( $aVar ) )
        $var = array( $aVar );
}

function Destroy( $aRecords )
{
    // $aRecords might be a single object or an array of objects. Ensure it's wrapped as an array.
    $this->EnsureArray( $aRecords );

    foreach ( $aRecords as $aRecord )
    {
        sql( "UPDATE Groups SET deleted = true WHERE id = $aRecord->id LIMIT 1" );
    }

    return array(
        'success' => true,
    );
}

Is there a trick, neater way, one line that can do the same?
Edit: Since posting this question, I've found that ExtJS has an option to send all records wrapped in array.

A: You could try the following, instead of the function:
$aRecords = is_array($aRecords) ? $aRecords : array($aRecords);

A: That's probably the best way tbh, if you're not going to enforce that you're always being sent an array.

A: I would make the function Destroy require arrays as its parameter:
function Destroy(array $aRecords) { ... }

The client should then also always send arrays. If, for whatever reason, that is not possible, the code that is receiving the (non-)array from the client and is passing it on to Destroy() needs to be responsible for passing it along as an array, because it's the interface between the (non-compliant) client and the standardized function.
There's probably going to be one endpoint for each possible action the client can call, so you don't even need to figure out whether the data is an array or not, you simply know. I.e.:
// someaction.php

include 'destroy.php';
$data = json_decode($_POST['data']);
Destroy($data);

but:
// anotheraction.php

include 'destroy.php';
$data = json_decode($_POST['data']);
Destroy(array($data));

If the client erratically sends different formats to the same action, fix the client.

A: Simply typecast the variable to an array:
function Destroy( $aRecords )
{
    foreach ( (array)$aRecords as $aRecord )
    {
        sql( "UPDATE Groups SET deleted = true WHERE id = $aRecord->id LIMIT 1" );
    }

    return array(
       'success' => true,
    );
}

We have followed the instructions for creating a new report via the quick start wizard instructions. We continue to get a 404 error stating the Requested URL http://localhost:55677/Controllers/api/reports/clients cannot be found.
Is there a specific set of steps to configure a web api project to use the default reporting out-of-the-box?
Specifically we are using Web API 5.2.2 in VS 2013.
We figured it out. You just have to add the new reporting template at the project level, not to a sub-directory for the mapping to work out.

A 24-year-old man was arrested early on Sunday morning in Quebec City after two people were fatally stabbed and five more were injured in a "random" attack.
According to Quebec City police, the man was dressed in a medieval outfit, wielding a large Japanese sword.
Police were called to the area of the old town area of the province's capital before 10:30 pm on Halloween night and found victims in four locations, near the historic Château Frontenac hotel, close to du Trésor Street, and on des Remparts Street.
***ATTENTION*** | Peu avant 1h du matin, le SPVQ a arrêté un suspect | Nous demandons toujours aux citoyens de la ville de Québec de rester à l'intérieur, les portes verrouillées car une enquête est toujours en cours.
— Service de police de la Ville de Québec (@SPVQ_police) November 1, 2020
After a nearly three-hour manhunt, the 24-year-old — whose name wasn't released — was arrested just before 1 am, a kilometre north of the city's Old Port.
In a news conference on Sunday morning, Quebec City Police Chief Robert Pigeon said the suspect is from Montreal and came to Quebec City with the "intention of doing the most damage possible."
The police chief believes he chose his victims at random and suspects the crimes were premeditated.
Two victims have been confirmed dead and five others were rushed to hospital with "varying levels of injury." Pigeon says none of the five injured are in critical condition and expects them all to make full recoveries.
At just after 4 am on Sunday morning, Quebec City police tweeted that the situation was "under control."
Quebec Premier François Legault tweeted on Sunday morning that the province is "waking up after a night of horror. I am failing to find words to describe the tragedy. I offer my condolences to the loved ones of the victims."
Le Québec se réveille après une nuit d'horreur. Les mots me manquent pour décrire une telle tragédie. J'offre toutes mes condoléances aux proches des victimes. La vice-première ministre @GGuilbaultCAQ fera le point avec le maire Labeaume et le chef du @SPVQ_police à 9h30 ce matin
— François Legault (@francoislegault) November 1, 2020
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tweeted a response to what he called a "horrific attack."
My heart breaks for the loved ones of the two people killed in last night's horrific attack in Quebec City. I'm also wishing a full recovery to the injured. We're keeping you in our thoughts and will be there for you. To all the first responders, thank you for your critical work.
— Justin Trudeau (@JustinTrudeau) November 1, 2020
Quebec City Mayor Régis Labeaume referenced the January 2017 mosque shooting that left six people dead and called the events both "terrifying" and "impossible to understand."

Home / Social Media Ethic / Do You Have A Digital "Online" Identity?
My pen bleeds as I put this piece together. It is so painful that in this digital era we are, many of us still do not have a digital Identity or in a simple word, are not "Google-able" " googly".
How do you expect potential clients, investor etc to take you seriously?
kindly type the following name on Google; Remi Owadokun, John Obidi, Joy Eneghalu, Edirin Edewor, my humble self, Elijah Otor and see what will pop up.
Now you know what digital "online" identity means. Let me walk you through on how you can build your digital identity.
Step 1: Be active in online social/business networking groups.
Research and join sites whose members are people you need to get in front of and connect with ( Google+, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest , Reddit,Google+,Cofoundr,konnects, JumpUp, WebMD,HubPages ,Biznik, Ecademy, and many others). Be active and do not be afraid to share content.
Step 2: Blog or be a Guest blogger.
Whether it is through your blog, website, or another platform make sure you are publishing your own content.
Blogging is good because, search engine e.g. Google, Bing love blogs because the content is relevant and they constantly update it.
Step 3 : Share your expertise in online forums.
We have several forums e.g. Quora, LinkedIn Q&A, Wiki Answers, forums for writers e.g. Absolute Write Water Cooler, AgentQuery Connect, BookRix, Figment, The Reddit Writer's Group, etc.
Kindly join forums in your niche and share your knowledge.
Please do not be selfish.
Step 4: Google Yourself regularly.
Make it a habit to Google yourself and see what pop up about you, track how many results that pop up for you when you search your name and what they say about you.
See if the results about you accurate and consistent with what you want people to know about you?
Is there anything unappealing about you that is likely to dishonor you and jeopardize the impression about you before a potential client, employer, etc?
Note: Experts advise that it wise to get into the routine of monitoring results at least once a week.
Step 5: Create a Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts) account for "your name".
It is a free service offered by Google. It helps you know when people say something about you online.
Once you set up an account, Google Alerts will send you an email whenever a search term you've provided ("your name" or whatever other words you want) get published on the Internet.
Step 6: Get your own website and online career portfolio.
This will help you put all your career and achievement activity, create a vivid, comprehensive package illuminating your career history, strengths, passions, brand attributes, and value proposition, etc.
If you can not afford a website, you can use https://about.me and even if you have a website too, kindle creates a portfolio too.
Research and create and join social media in your niche (relevant to what you want to do).
We have a lot of social media platforms e.g. Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Flickr, Snapchat, Delicious, StumbleUpon, etc.
Build your connections, post and share contents and above all do not be afraid to share others' content.
Many of us are guilty of this, you can't share, retweet, etc.
Online booksellers like Amazon give you an opportunity to create an author page when you published a book.
You can also write a review on books relevant to your field and areas of expertise.
This helps to increase your visibility on a search engine.

Saint Marie of the Incarnation, OSU was an Ursuline nun of the French order. As part of a group of nuns sent to New France to establish the Ursuline Order, Marie was crucial in the spread of Catholicism in New France. Moreover, she has been credited with founding the first girls' school in the New World.
Her feast day is June 22.
Models of Faith
The daughter of a baker, Marie Guyard was born in Tours, France, on October 28 and married a silk manufacturer named Claude Martin when she was seventeen. The couple had one son. Claude died two years later and Marie became a bookkeeper for her brother-in-law. In 1629, she joined the Ursulines at Tours, taking the name Marie of the Incarnation. In 1639, she was sent to Canada where she laid the cornerstone of the first Ursuline convent in Quebec in 1641; she rebuilt it when it was destroyed by fire in 1650.
She compiled dictionaries in Algonquin and Iroquois and taught the Indians the rest of her life until her death in Quebec on April 30. She experienced mystical visions and suffered periods of spiritual aridity about which she wrote and her LETTERS give a valuable account of life in Quebec in 1639-71. Also known as Marie of the Ursulines, she was beatified in 1980 by Pope John Paul II.


"I have just returned from leading a St. Olaf College Study Tour in Greece with 32 alumni and friends of the college. It was a wonderful and highly successful tour. In 16 days we visited many of the most famous sites/places in Greece (including Athens, Sounion, Meteora, Thermopylae, Delphi, Olympia, Nauplion, Mycenae, Epidaurus), as well as some that are not so often visited (Volos, Skopelos, Aegina, Hydra). We were there during an historic time, as Greece held its elections and formed a new government. I am happy to report that, with the fantastic assistance of Dimitri and Thalia Cocconi of Educational Tours & Cruises, every aspect of our tour went perfectly. The Greek people, legendary for their philoxenia (hospitality) were as welcoming and cordial as ever; they were particularly excited to greet such a large group of Americans. The museums and sites are open, well-tended, and ready for visitors.The food and weather were, of course, up to usual expectations. Indeed, all of the group were enthusiastic about the trip and many are planning to return to Greece soon. I have visited Greece more than 30 times and have led more than two dozen student and alumni tours; this past tour ranks among the very best I have experienced. I encourage you to plan your trip to Greece and to bring your students and friends. It's a wonderful time to visit Greece, and Educational Tours & Cruises will insure that all of your logistical needs are met with friendliness, efficiency, and exquisite care".
"I am continually impressed of how many different details you and your colleagues are able to work out, apparently with no effort (since you made is so FAST!). You seem to have connections everywhere, and you know everything!- and I know I have made some pretty strange requests. You even manage to keep everything within the budget (or less). What I am most grateful for is your kind and patient flexibility. You have pleasantly helped me do things «my way». Your multiple offices and connections and communication links are supremely valuable. Thank you once again for assisting me in planning another trip to Greece and Italy!"
"A very belated thank you for the wonderful "Athens and the Cyclades Islands" tour that you provided for Goshen College Adult Educational Travel in June.

Skratch and the Alien Outfitter
Skratch found the Alien Pilot in a remote spot, because that was the sort of thing he did well – no one knew exactly how. "Do you like your new suit?" asked Skratch, "it's the best I could find and worth a king's ransom!" "I hate kings," said the Pilot. "Well, a president then," said Skratch, "it's all the same in business." "Now look, cat!" said the Pilot, "I want my money and I want it soon." "Well the Wabbit has it for you, safe and sound," said Skratch, "he knew you'd arrive here." "Then where is he?" groaned the Pilot." "Oh, that's for me to know and you to consider," purred Skratch, "but he's quite the wheeler-dealer. He knows a good wheel and the right person to appreciate just how round the wheel is." "What do you get out of this?" asked the Pilot suspiciously. "A small fee, nothing much," purred Skratch. "I do it for love really, a kind of hobby." The Pilot snorted. "I hate hobbies!" "Everyone should have a hobby," said Skratch, "you need to get outside yourself, let out your corsets." The Pilot snarled. "I hate ..." he shouted. " ... corsets!" finished Skratch. "Let's be on our way. The Wabbit is waiting." "I wouldn't like to keep that Wabbit waiting," sneered the Pilot. "He can be tetchy," said Skratch, "so we won't be late." "We don't have an actual appointment," sighed the Pilot. "Yes, I'm afraid we do," said Skratch. "I hate appointments," said the Pilot.

You can start the milk thistle and vitamin C on the first day when you start taking molybdenum and continue both throughout your treatment. Start with 1000 mg of vitamin C and work up to 3000 mg by the third day.
Can I use garlic tablets just on their own as an anti-fungal for the entire treatment, will I need to increase the dose? or do I need another anti fungal also? If I do just have garlic, will the candida not get used to it after a while?
Garlic pills with enhanced allicin act as an antifungal as well as an antibiotic which can destroy the beneficial flora in your intestines. Stop taking this once you begin to take the probiotics. You could eat raw garlic occasionally at that point, but do not use it daily as an antifungal.
If you mentioned taking virgin coconut oil, I missed it. So if you're not planning to use this you're making a huge mistake. Be sure to read the antifungal link which is part of the Forum Protocol so that you'll know how and how much to take.
Be sure to post updates regularly so that the more seasoned veterans can help you along with the treatment. Also read all the links connected to the protocol. Do you have the forum's strict diet or are you going to use a different diet?


Supercar Maserati MC12, based at the Ferrari Enzo, was born in 2004. Ten years later was introduced the concept of hypercar LaMazerati, inspired by the Ferrari LaFerrari.
Maserati LaMaserati – hypercar concept created by a graduate of the Faculty of transportation design Staffordshire University Mark Hostler. A concept Lamborghini Ferruccio, which was introduced in 2012 and remember the abundance of sharp corners in the exterior, was its previous work.
Conceived, created by Mark Hostler, equipped with a V12 engine with capacity of 6.3 liters. In order to reduce weight, the car was stripped of KERS, allow you to quickly gain the speed at the expense of the energy stored during braking. Elegant body of LaMaserati is made in the best traditions of the company: aggressive nose and smooth flowing lines.
The concept is not like any other supercar. It looks like felts alien spacecraft, or like a futuristic shell. And this, of course, is a worthy successor to the indomitable MC12.
Emphasis is placed on driving pleasure – despite a slight loss of power, the car won the manageability. In addition, it is deprived of many electronic driver assistance systems, so that motorists will be able to maximize avid "feel" the car.

I'm doing a small test translation in MemoQ, and I discovered that MemoQ does a few weird things with apostrophes and quotes. For example, if I type a apostrophe plus a letter that doesn't take an accent directly after a space, MemoQ writes a comma (!). Yes, so if I type ' and then n, then MemoQ writes ,n instead of 'n or 'n or even 'n. In mid-word (i.e. if the preceding character is not a space), MemoQ always writes a closing single quote when I try to type an apostrophe, e.g. if I type I and then ' and then m, MemoQ writes I'm instead of I'm or I'm. How can I fix this? It gets weirder when I try to type double quotes. If I type " and then x and then ", MemoQ writes ,,x'' instead of "x" or "x". I'm using the US International keyboard in Windows.
It sounds as if you have enabled smart quotes under AutoCorrect.
Okay, I'll try it next time.


Make sauce by mixing all of the marinade ingredients together except for any optional vegetables such as onions or mushrooms.
Mix in the bulgogi beef into the sauce prepared above – in a bowl big enough to hold the beef. Make sure the sauce is well mixed with the beef. You will need to use your hands here and just massage everything together.
You have couple options in cooking the amazing bulgogi. The easiest and simplest way is to just cook on your stove top. You can heat up your favorite frying pan on high heat and just pan fry/stir fry the meat until it's slightly brown on both sides. Your pan should be hot enough so that the meat sizzles as it touches the pan. Also, if you put too much meat into the pan and/or the heat is too low, you will end up with a lot of the meat juice leaking out of the bulgogi and you end up with Bulgogi stew. You can add your sliced vegetables to the pan about a minute after you start cooking the Bulgogi.
This recipe is outstanding and I highly recommend it. I served it over rice and steamed some broccoli. I will make this again!
Thank you so much Trena!! Steamed broccoli is such a great idea - you can basically do any veggies and it will work. Mushrooms, bell peppers, asparagus..Anyway, so glad you liked it.
I hav made this twice with pork sirloin and it's delicious!


Institute for Chemical Research (ICR) was founded in 1926 as the first research institute of Kyoto University with the founding vision to "Excel in the Investigation of Basic Principles of Chemistry and Their Applications." ICR is a successor to the Specialized Center for Chemical Research established at the College of Science of Kyoto Imperial University in 1915 for the study of a special medicinal substance called "Salvarsan," that is arsphenamine. Ever since, ICR has continuously carried out outstanding research and flourished as a large-scale organization with five research divisions and three research centers: Division of Synthetic Chemistry, Division of Materials Chemistry, Division of Biochemistry, Division of Environmental Chemistry, Division of Multidisciplinary Chemistry, Advanced Research Center for Beam Science, International Research Center for Elements Science, and Bioinformatics Center. Currently, almost 120 faculty members, 210 graduate students, and 60 researchers are engaged in research activities in 30 laboratories directed by fulltime professors and 5 laboratories supervised by visiting professors.
Research at ICR encompasses a wide range of scientific disciplines, including physics, biology, and informatics besides chemistry. Graduate schools to which our laboratories are affiliated as a "cooperative lab" cover a broad range of fields such as science, engineering, agriculture, pharmaceutical sciences, medicine, and informatics. These laboratories are spearheading cutting-edge research and yielding groundbreaking results in their special fields. The legacy of our founding philosophy continues today and describes the essence of our research activities. With the founding vision in mind, we have entrusted our scientists with the responsibility of choosing research topics within advanced chemistry-related fields. Thus, ICR members are actively involved in interdisciplinary research projects with bottom-up paradigms in order to create new knowledge and contribute to the future of materials-related fields. One of our major challenges is to design and create smart materials from the viewpoint of not only academic interest but also green innovation and establishment of a sustainable society through "zero loss" in the production/ transportation/usage of materials/energy. Toward the future, we have been collaborating with the Research Institute for Sustainable Humanosphere and the Institute of Advanced Energy since 2015 as part of the MEXT-supported joint research program. For the MEXT project of Integrated Research Consortium on Chemical Sciences (2016–2021), ICR (most importantly, International Research Center for Elements Science) has been making a significant contribution as one of the four core research institutions from Japanese national universities. ICR has also been collaborating with both domestic and overseas universities and research institutions (with 70 official international collaboration agreements) and functioning as a Joint Usage/Research Center supported by MEXT since 2010. On the basis of highly evaluated global activity in chemistry-oriented fields as well as interdisciplinary fields, ICR was newly certified as an International Joint Usage/Research Center by MEXT in 2018. In order to foster and secure young researchers through these activities, we also have original programs of unparalleled research and graduate education, including an in-house annual grant system named "ICR Grant for Promoting Integrated Research." These collaborative achievements ensure that ICR serves as a global research core in chemistry-oriented fields.
Finally, we appreciate your continued encouragement and support.
The founding philosophy of the Institute for Chemical Research (ICR) is to "Excel in the Investigation of Basic Principles of Chemistry and Their Applications." Our research is grounded on the core values of freedom, independence, and harmony. As a key part of Kyoto University, the ICR is committed to contributing to the harmonious development of the global community by solving fundamental chemical issues.
We regard chemistry as a broad area of the natural sciences and strive for balanced development; the platform of basic research into the true nature of matter serves as a foothold for more applied studies. We strive to be flexible and responsive to the challenges of our global society.
Through research in an integrated environment of world-class laboratories, we aim to train and develop talented people with broad experiences, high level of problem-solving skills, and hence highly organized leadership towards the harmonious development of the global community.
As researchers and educators of chemistry, we endeavor to deepen our exchanges with local communities and the Japanese society. We envision contributing to solving global problems through active scientific exchange with international researchers and institutions. Lastly, we commit ourselves to achieve the accountability to society through internal/external reviews and information disclosure.
