Why Ying De
Ying De Group and CIDAUK announce 11th China UK Entrepreneurship Competition for UK SMEs
60 – 100 businesses compete for access to £30 million China UK Enterprise Investment Fund
The annual China UK Entrepreneurship Competition has a long tradition of facilitating the exchange of knowledge and expertise between the UK and China in the fields of business, technology, culture and education. More than 200 teams had participated in the competition each year since its launch in 2006. Now in its 11th year, the competition, co-organised by Ying De Group and the China Innovation and Development Association, UK (CIDAUK), was unveiled at an event on 16th July 2018 at Cocoon Networks, London.
Attended by more than 100 companies, the event was opened by Mr Xiaowei Xiang, Minister Counsellor of Cultural Affairs, Embassy of China to the UK. Dr Vinod Tailor DL, Deputy Lieutenant of Bedfordshire announced the launch of the competition. The welcome session was led by Mr Boshu Liang, Chief Representative of UK Office, China Association for International Exchange of Personnel, State Administration of Foreign Experts Affairs (SAFEA); Professor Yu Xiong, Chair of Technology and Operations Management, Northumbria University; and Mr Jack So, Community and Event Manager, Cocoon Networks. Other distinguished speakers include senior representatives from Ying De Group, CIDAUK, The Growth Company, Satellite Applications Catapult, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult and London School of Economics.
This year's competition saw the announcement of the £30 million China UK Enterprise Investment Fund by Ying De Group and CIDAUK. Based on the UK Home Office Tier 1
Entrepreneur Visa Scheme, the fund will be provided by high net worth Chinese investors. Around 60 – 100 UK companies will be given the opportunity to successfully access the fund as well as business skills and networks from the investors.
Mr Xiaowei Xiang, Minister Counsellor of Cultural Affairs, Chinese Embassy: "The UK has been a champion of free trade and international rules, and is working to build a 'global Britain'. China stands ready to work with the UK to uphold the multi-lateral trade regime, build an open world economy and make economic globalisation more open, inclusive, balanced and win-win for all."
Mr Andy Han, CEO of Ying De: "The competition represents a golden opportunity for SMEs at a time when Brexit poses so many uncertainties for UK businesses. The unique features of this scheme will not only give SMEs the unsecured funding that they need to boost their growth domestically, but they will also greatly benefit from the skills and business networks that the Chinese investors provide. For those businesses with serious ambitions to explore the Chinese market, these intangible assets are indeed highly sought-after, something that other forms of funding cannot necessarily match."
Professor Yu Xiong, Chair of Technology and Operations Management, Northumbria University: "The competition has enabled a deep cooperation between UK businesses and Chinese investors on a micro-level, allowing both parties to truly reap the rewards from this mutually beneficial relationship."
Mr Ian Dixon, Access To Finance Team Leader, The Growth Company: "We are constantly looking for innovative ways to help businesses in the North West access the right type of funding that matches their needs for growth. We are excited about this competition, because we have already witnessed first-hand the positive impact that the Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa scheme, on which the funding is based, has on businesses here. For example, as a result of using the scheme, we have successfully funded to date over £6 million worth of investment into SMEs in the region. In the process, the businesses have also benefited from the invaluable skills and business networks brought by the Chinese investors. "
Sharing his experience in international trade and investment, Dr Vinod Tailor, Deputy Lieutenant of Bedfordshire, encouraged more UK companies to connect with the Chinese market via the opportunities provided by the competition. Echoing the words of Mr Xiang from the Chinese Embassy, Dr Tailor expects to see further collaborations between the two countries in the near future.
From 16 July to 5 November 2018, SMEs across the UK from the following 9 sectors can enter the competition: finance and accounting; education; marketing; engineering; international trading; fashion; IT; construction and media. To enter, each company is required to provide a comprehensive business plan and 3 years' trading history with statutory accounts. Companies who submit their entries by 6 August 2018 will be given priority to be considered and win the opportunities to pitch in China. The successful companies will receive £300,000 – 600,000 in funding.

Ok, so I am NOT actually in Paris for Christmas. I am home to spend quality time with family and friends. But my dream is to one day spend Christmas in this spectacular city! I hope you will hold me to that promise to myself.
Let's say however, that I was in Paris for Christmas.
Here are at least THREE things I would most certainly do.
First–I would find a cosy restaurant to go out for dinner on Christmas Eve.
I am thinking maybe at La Crémaillère 1900 in Montmartre which is decorated with Belle Epoque paintings and offers this Christmas menu. See how much of it you can understand and then see my translation at the bottom.
French people tend to have their main Christmas meal on Christmas eve| Le Réveillon. And often after midnight when they return from church. For some reason this appeals to me much more than having Christmas dinner on Christmas Day.
Like the menu above, a typical French Christmas dinner could include turkey, chicken or roast goose, often preceded with oysters and/or foie gras. I don't eat dessert but there is also the traditional chocolate cake|Bûche de Noël and usually a variety of French cheeses as well.
Then on Christmas Day I would work off all that food and go skating at the Trocadero Rink opposite the Eiffel Tower. It is free and open late.
But did you know for 11 Euros, you can skate on the first level of the Eiffel Tower itself? A little unnerving to be up so high but an incredible experience I hear.
Then, afterwards, as the light begins to fade, I would take a walk along the Seine probably on the Right Bank. I would stop in at a bistro for hot chocolate or maybe mulled wine|vin chaud. Sometimes, with the heat lamps they have now and the blankets they provide, I could even sit outside!
Yes, one year soon, that is how I am going to spend my Christmas in Paris!
In the meantime, wherever you are, have a very Merry Christmas! And thank you all for reading my blog!
Roast Chicken with Chanterelles, which are the most delicate and delicious French mushrooms!
Merry Christmas Diana! Shardie is coming to my home for a visit today along with our good friends Kate & Rob! It is so nice to be with friends during the Holidays.
It is wonderful you are back home for Christmas to be with family. Oh but that menu must have been difficult to give up! It sounds delish!
I understand your dilemma of going home to see family vs. staying where you live. When we moved several hundred miles from home 25 years ago, we promised my parents we would always come home for the holidays. I'm not sure how we fit 2 adults, 3 children, a dog and presents for nearly 20 people in our vehicle, but somehow we did! Surprisingly, when our children were young, they never even realized all those presents were in the car. It's so much easier now with just the two of us driving north and our kids joining us there from various parts of the country. My active mom is in her 90's now, so I don't know how many more years we will make this drive, but I am grateful each year to all be together. When the time comes to stay home for Christmas for the first time, it will be bittersweet. Have a wonderful holiday at home, Diana.
However, I very much doubt they are open on Christmas Day; perhaps on the 24th.
My meal will be Italian, though: fish or seafood.
I've been to Paris a few times over the year's end holidays, but visiting friends or working.
Obviously no problem reading the menu. Joyeuses fêtes et bonne année 2019!
l'Express is in fact my favorite restaurants in Montreal. I have such great memories of dining there — often with my journalist colleagues after working on a big story together. The food is fabulous. And no, you would not need a translation of the menu but so many of my readers live outside of Canada.
Merry Christmas, my new friend! Maybe someday we will all met in Paris for Christmas!
Wouldn't that be wonderful Bonnie?


Early in fall, send a note to your neighbors inviting them to participate in an appetizer round-robin, where neighbors go from house to house (staying about 1 hour at each) to enjoy an assortment of appetizers (two to three per house). You may want to list several possible dates or just offer one date and see who can attend.
Six weeks before the party, send the participating neighbors a schedule for the evening. You may want to ask each family what appetizers they plan on serving to avoid duplicates.
When selecting recipes, think about the schedule of the evening. If company comes to your house first, you can prepare a recipe that has a little more last-minute fussing. If not, choose dishes that can either be completely prepared and refrigerated before serving or that can be partially assembled before baking.
A month before the party, make some outdoor luminaries for your walkway. You might want to tell your neighbors about this enlightened idea! Or if you're ambitious and there aren't too many families partaking in the event, think about making enough luminaries for each stop along the way.
The day before the party, do whatever food preparation you can. Set the table with serving trays, plates, napkins and utensils. Although the focus is on the food, you'll want to offer a variety of beverages as well.
Family and friends will dive into this delightful dip with an Italian flair. Black olives bring a bit of saltiness to the creamy layered mixture.

Of the Advancement and Proficiencie of Learning, or, The Partitions of Sciences, IX Bookes (commonly known as The Advancement of Learning) is an extensive study by English philosopher, politician, scientist, and author, Francis Bacon, Viscount St. Alban (1561 – 1626).

Trump Tables 25 Percent Tariffs as US, China Forge Trade Truce

The U.S. and China are talking again, or at least enough to put on hold any new tariffs for now as they restart negotiations to resolve their trade war.
U.S. President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart President Xi Jinping met at the G-20 Summit in Osaka Saturday morning, and reached an agreement that would allow the two countries to restart negotiations connected with their year-long trade war.
Trump said at a news conference that negotiations between the two are "back on track." But just how long the new truce will last is unclear, given the unpredictable pattern of talks over the past year between the two countries. What remains a key issue for the U.S. is the protection of intellectual property rights.
With no other details available, it wasn't immediately clear what were the actual terms of the agreement. However, Trump did say following the G-20 Summit that he would delay plans to impose a 25 percent tariff on $300 billion of Chinese imports.
Those tariffs, for goods referred to as Tranche 4, were expected to be imposed on merchandise coming into the U.S. at the end of the summer. Trump also said he would hold off on any restrictions against China's largest telecommunications equipment maker, Huawei Technologies Co. Relaxing restrictions allows U.S. companies to again sell to the equipment maker.
And while U.S. companies can sell their parts to Huawei, it seemed that the ban on imports of Huawei equipment for new 5G wireless networks was still in place. The U.S. has said the equipment could be used for espionage purposes, and the Commerce Department last month placed Huawei on a blacklist for national security reasons, it said. In turn for the Huawei concession, China is expected to increase its purchasing of U.S. agricultural goods.

While having the truce in place gives apparel firms and retailers some breathing room–particularly for the upcoming back-to-school season and early deliveries of fall and holiday merchandise–companies still need to continue executing their what-if plans. That's because until there's an official agreement that decisively resolves the trade war, there's always a possibility that the U.S. or China could rescind the truce, paving the way for the Tranche 4 tariffs to go into effect.
The National Retail Federation, shortly after the truce was announced, said it hoped that progress made during talks between the American and Chinese leaders will hasten the trade war's conclusion.
David French, senior vice president for government relations at NRF, said, "Pulling back from the brink of further tariff escalation is a good sign for retailers and their customers, and we look forward to continued progress in the talks with China so that further tariffs can be avoided and existing ones lifted."
French reiterated that a tariff would punish American consumers and threaten U.S. jobs. A report prepared for the NRF indicated that implementation of the new Tranche 4 tariffs would cost Americans $4.4 billion each year for apparel and $2.5 billion for footwear.

She was launched by the California Shipbuilding Company on May 9, 1944, and completed on June 30, 1944. The ship's United States Maritime Commission designation was VC2- S- AP3, hull number 15 (V-15). SS Bluefield Victory served in the Pacific Ocean during World War II and was operated by the Mississippi Shipping Company. The 10,500-ton Victory ships were designed to replace the earlier Liberty Ships. Liberty ships were designed to be used just for World War II. Victory ships were designed to last longer and serve the US Navy after the war. The Victory ship differed from a Liberty ship in that they were: faster, longer and wider, taller, had a thinner stack set farther toward the superstructure, and had a long raised forecastle.

She was in a convoy of ships that anchored at Naval Base Kossol Roads in October 1944. Because of her dangerous cargo, she stayed in Kossol Roads away from the main fleet until called on to deliver supplies. The convoy included: ammunition ships: Meridian Victory, SS Iran Victory, SS Bluefield Victory and Kishwaukee.

About 90 percent of the cargo was moved by Merchant Marine Naval to the Korea War Zone. SS Bluefield Victory made trips between the US and Korea helping American forces engaged against Communist aggression in South Korea.

Private cargo service
In 1951 she was sold to the Pacific Far East Line of San Francisco. and was renamed the SS Alaska Bear. In 1957 she was sold to the Trans-Pacific Company of Philadelphia and kept her name. On June 7, 1957, the SS Alaska Bear ran aground and was taking on water near the entrance to Tokyo Bay.

Dazhou, Sichuan gained notoriety for the corruption of Dazhu County (大竹)  officials that caused a mass protest in January 2007.  The incident involved a 16-year-old waitress in the KTV rooms of Laishide (莱仕德) Hotel.

Description

Laishide (莱仕德) Hotel was a four-star hotel built with investment from local officials and local police, and the sentiment against the hotel among the local populace existed long before the mass protest in January 2007 because of illegal and corrupt activities behind the closed doors of the hotel.

Miss Yang Daili (杨代莉), a 16-year-old young girl working at the hotel's karaoke rooms (KTV) was famed for her beauty and height, 1.70 meters.  On December 29, 2006, three high-ranking provincial officials went to the Laishide Hotel and asked Miss Yang Daili to have dinner with them, and took her out the same night.  The next morning, Miss Yang Daili was found dead in a suite at the hotel.  According to the police report, Miss Yang was drugged and raped, and she suffered brutal torture, including her tongue being cut, teeth broken due to beating, nipples cut off, and privates mutilated.

Miss Yang Daili's family started a protest outside the hotel on January 12, 2007. After they received no explanation from the hotel despite repeated requests, sympathizers and those who resented corruption gathered around the family to show their support. Their number first increased by the dozens daily, then by the hundreds, and eventually by the thousands. The attempt of Laishide Hotel to settle down before catching the real killer only increased public outrage even further, because previously, two waitresses and a security guard working at the hotel had been killed and no suspects had been found.  The official local governmental news website, however, failed to mention anything on these three previous murders and it once again attempted do the same for the most recent murder.

By the afternoon of January 17, 2007, more than ten thousand protesters had gathered outside the hotel, and as the news of Laishide Hotel offering Miss Yang Daili's family half a million Renminbi to settle before the killers were found, and rejection of the offer by  family members reached the crowd, the people finally had had enough.  Angry protesters rushed into the hotel, damaged everything inside, and eventually set fire to the hotel. The fire was not put out until five hours later.

As the number of protesters and public outrage increased, the local government could no longer keep the murder a secret and was forced to release the police findings on January 18, 2007.  However, the official local government's news release only publicized the police report of the crime scene, and attempted to blame the crime on a male hotel employee named Liu (劉).  The action was unanimously viewed by the local populace as an attempt to cover up the involvement of three high-ranking governmental officials of provincial level. Government officials were involved in all of the previous three murders that had been kept secret by the local government but were forced into the open due to the most recent event. The enraged protesters continued to gather after the fire was put out and clashed with riot police who were sent in.

Le Sud-Central est une région des États-Unis située dans la partie méridionale du centre du pays. Il est considéré comme un sous-ensemble du Sud des États-Unis et fait également partie de la région de la Sun Belt, réputée pour son climat ensoleillé ainsi que pour son dynamisme démographique et économique. Historiquement, il est parfois rattaché à l'Ouest américain.

Le Sud-Central est constitué des États de l'Arkansas, de la Louisiane, de l'Oklahoma et du Texas selon la définition du Bureau de recensement américain. On y adjoint parfois les États du Kansas, du Mississippi, du Missouri et du Nouveau-Mexique.

Géographie

Généralités
Le Texas est l'État le plus vaste et le plus peuplé du Sud-Central américain. Il concentre les plus grandes villes : Houston est la quatrième villes des États-Unis, Austin la huitième et San Antonio la dixième. En dehors du Texas, les principales agglomérations sont celles d'Oklahoma City et de La Nouvelle-Orléans.

Dans sa définition la plus large, le Sud-Central regroupe environ 43 millions d'Américains, soit 1 américain sur 8.

Relief

Le Sud-Central américain est région généralement peu élevée où les altitudes dépassent rarement les 1000 mètres excepté dans la partie occidentale. À l'est, les principales montagnes sont les Monts Ozark (780 mètres) les Ouachita, les Arbuckle, les Wichita. Les Monts Ozark et les Montagnes Ouachita représentent les seules montagnes entre les Appalaches et les Rocheuses. La Louisiane et le Sud du Texas sont une plaine côtière et s'ouvrent sur le golfe du Mexique. Les côtes y sont basses et découpées par des baies et des estuaires. Elles sont bordées par plusieurs grandes îles. Les paysages sont relativement plats ou légèrement vallonnés, favorables aux activités humaines. Le centre du Texas et de l'Oklahoma est formé de plateaux et de hautes plaines, bordés par des escarpements (escarpement de Balcones, escarpement de Caprock) ; cette zone représente une zone de transition entre les Grandes Plaines et les plaines côtières. Le plateau d'Edwards offre un relief karstique et se rattache aux Grandes Plaines. La Llano Estacado est considérée comme l'une des plus grandes mesas d'Amérique du Nord. Le Panhandle est formé de hautes plaines et de plateaux disséqués par des gorges. Le canyon de Palo Duro est le deuxième des États-Unis par ses dimensions, après celui du Colorado. Le Guadalupe Peak dans l'Ouest du Texas () est le point culminant de la région, si l'on ne prend pas en compte le Nouveau-Mexique. Cette région est un ensemble complexe de chaînes de montagne, de plateaux et de fossés d'effondrement arides ou semi-arides.

Climat
Les climats de la région varient du subtropical dans le Sud de la Louisiane au climat aride dans le désert de Chihuahua.

Hydrologie
Les principaux cours d'eau du Sud-Central américain sont le Mississippi et le Rio Grande, ainsi que leurs affluents. Ces deux fleuves se jettent dans le golfe du Mexique.

Histoire

Les Paléoindiens qui vivaient à la fin du Pléistocène (vers 9200 – 6000 ) peuvent être rattachés aux cultures Clovis et Folsom : ces nomades chassaient les grands mammifères aujourd'hui disparus tels que les mammouths et les bisons à longues cornes au moyen de flèches et d'atlatls. Ils se fournissaient en silex sur le site d'Alibates Flint au nord du Texas.

Le changement climatique qui marqua le début de la période archaïque (vers 6000  – vers 700 ), fut marqué par l'extinction des mammifères géants, par une relative croissance démographique à partir du  et par l'apparition des premiers échanges. De nombreux pictogrammes dessinés sur les parois des grottes ou sur des rochers sont visibles.

Certains groupes vivant à l'est du Texas commencèrent à se sédentariser dans les premiers siècles de l'ère chrétienne, à pratiquer l'agriculture et à ériger les premiers tertres funéraires. Cette phase montre l'influence des civilisations qui s'épanouirent dans le bassin du Mississippi comme les Mound Builders.

À partir du  environ, l'arc et la flèche firent leur apparition au Texas, la fabrication de poteries se développa et les Amérindiens dépendirent de plus en plus du bison pour leur survie. Des objets en obsidienne retrouvés dans les divers sites témoignent des échanges avec le Mexique actuel et les Montagnes Rocheuses.

John Malkovich takes a spin as Hercule Poirot trying to solve the murders committed by the A.B.C. Killer.

Based on The Boys by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, Season 1 of this adaptation follows the titular team of vigilantes as they fight back against the superpowered people who abuse their powers. The Boys is not the superhero adaptation for the faint of heart, so expect plenty of blood and gore. This ain't a Marvel production. However, it is likely you will still enjoy the series. Well, Amazon thinks you will. They renewed The Boys for a second season before its premiere.

Disney+ Has Plenty of Adaptations to Stream
Disney+ may be the new kid on the streaming services block, but it came in with the roar of King Simba. For the comic book nerds, there is X-Men: The Animated Series, which is still better than any of the X-Men movies. Of course, there is the most anticipated Disney+ original series The Mandalorian, which has already been renewed for a second season! That is excellent news for those who can't get enough Star Wars lore (or Baby Yoda).
There are also plenty of movie adaptations worth streaming on Disney+ since most of Disney's original animated movies are inspired from fairy tales. The Little Mermaid and Frozen are based on fairy tales by Hans Christian Anderson. Snow White, Tangled, and The Princess and the Frog are among the movies adapted from Grimm fairy tales. However, there are also live action adaptations if you prefer movies with real people like The Princess Diaries, based on the book series by Meg Cabot.
I recommend streaming the underrated and "radical" Queen of Katwe, adapted from The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster by Tim Crothers. In this story about Phiona Mutesi, a Ugandan girl who learns to play chess and eventually becomes a Woman Candidate Master.

With only four episodes in the series, Apple Tree Yard can easily be an amuse bouche in your adaptation marathon session. However, we must warn you. This story contains sexual violence against women.

MGM wants a live action/CGI Pink Panther to exist for some reason
MGM is once again trying to bring back long lost franchises for some reason. The Pink Panther is definitely a series that's struggled to keep afloat after the death of Peter Sellers (who played Detective Clouseau in the original films) with a cartoon show, several reboots (most recent attempt was in 2009 with Steve Martin), and all of the films have focused on Clouseau and his hunt for a jewel thief. But MGM wants to take a different approach to see if that works better.
Directed by David Silverman (The Simpsons Movie, and several episodes of The Simpsons), Walter Mirisch and Julie Andrews producing (executive producer, and widow of the director of the original series) with Michael Price (co-producer of The Simpsons, and wrote a few later season episodes) in talks to write the script, the new Pink Panther film will be a live action/CG hybrid featuring a silent Panther, and no Clouseau, in an "international jewel heist caper."
I don't have the tightest of bonds with the Pink Panther, but I do support David Silverman. That man directed The Simpsons Movie, and more importantly, The Road to El Dorado, one of my favorite films of all time. I hope this Pink Panther movie to close to either one of those.

Det ugaritiska alfabetet uttrycktes med hjälp av en särskild form av kilskrift som uppstod omkring år 1500 f.Kr. Alfabetet användes för att, på lertavlor, skriva det inhemska ugaritiska språket, och återupptäcktes i och med att den kanaaneiska staden Ugarit grävdes ut, se ugaritisk litteratur.

Via det feniciska alfabetet (ej kilskriftsbaserat) ska detta kilskriftsalfabet i sin tur ha influerat det grekiska alfabetet. I likhet med de flesta (akkadiska utgör här ett undantag) andra semitiska språk består det ugaritiska alfabetet enbart av konsonanter.

Should we collect copays for patients with 2 insurances?
I am wondering if you have some form of a letter to explain to the insurance companies why they should pay for the FeNO test (CPT code 95012)? Many companies, especially BCBS, say that it is an "investigational" procedure and deny payments for the service. Thanks.

L'agapornis cara-roig o inseparable cara-roig  (Agapornis pullarius) és un dels ocells del gènere Agapornis, a la família dels Psitàcids (Psittacidae). Con tots els agapornis són originaris d'Àfrica.

Morfologia
 Fan uns 15 cm de llargària
 Els mascles són de color general verd, amb una zona en la cara de color vermell, des de la part superior del bec, sobre el front fins a mitjans del capell, i pels costats fins a l'ull. La part inferior de l'ala és d'un verd més clar que la resta del cos. El bec és vermell.
 Les femelles són molt semblants, amb la màscara facial taronja i el bec més clar.
 Les potes d'ambdós gèneres són de color gris.

Distribució i hàbitat
Viuen en zones de bosc obert, sabanes i terres de conreu d'una ampla àrea d'Àfrica, que inclou tots els estats del Golf de Guinea, des de Guinea fins al nord d'Angola (incloent-hi les Illes), i cap a l'est fins al sud d'Etiòpia, l'oest de Kenya i el nord de Tanzània.

Llistat de subespècies
Se n'han descrit dues subespècies d'Agapornis pullarius:
 Agapornis pullarius pullarius () 1758.
 Agapornis pullarius ugandae Neumann 1908. Habita Kenya i Tanzània.

Reproducció
Fa el niu normalment en un termiter, en un arbre o, de vegades a terra. Per fer el niu la femella excava un túnel de fins a 30 cm de llargària, dins el termiter, criant amb altres congèneres.

Avicultura
La cria en captiveri és difícil, per la necessitat d'excavar el niu i que la càmera estiga a uns 27º, però, se'ls pot induir a excavar en un suro per a construir el niu. És una espècie més nerviosa que altres del mateix gènere.

Miffed over the absence of ministers from Parliament duty, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday asked for a list of absentees to be given to him every evening.
According to reports, PM Modi – who attended BJP's weekly parliamentary party meeting today - asked for a list of ministers who skipped their parliament duty despite being on the roster.
The prime minister also advised the BJP lawmakers to extend their scope of work beyond politics. He also counselled lawmakers to engage in social work.
"Work beyond the sphere of politics," BJP leaders who were present at the meeting said.
Modi, who has launched the Jal Abhiyan in the backdrop of the worst water crisis in the country, has also reportedly asked the lawmakers to sit with officials and lend an ear to the people's issues related to water shortage.
The Prime Minister also urged the lawmakers to work on war footing to tackle diseases such as Tuberculosis.

No Translation Necessary: Boken proves that Bend knows its Japanese bar food
by Sara Roth
Michael Murphy's take on a Japanese "Izakaya" restaurant isn't what you'd expect from a chef who is collaborating with Justin Cook, the owner of Bend's popular westside sushi house Kanpai. Murphy and Cook opened Boken last month in the former home of The Downtowner just off Mirror Pond Plaza. As you might expect, the execution is spot-on, the cocktails are well executed and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. But Boken's menu veers far from what most diners have come to think of as Japanese food.
Instead of sushi and tempura vegetables, Boken serves small yet substantial plates of exotic fare. And instead of a cocktail list heavy on sweet drinks like Mai Tais, Boken's bar leans heavily on select sakes and whiskeys - the latter of which has become an art-form in Japan, rivaling even Scotland. The menu and spirit list features items near and dear to my heart, like house-made kimchee, pork belly and a plethora of whiskeys, giving me high hopes.
The word Izakaya stems from the Japanese words for "to sit" and "sake shop." The simple translation is a sake shop that allowed customers to sit and drink, but the name has become synonymous with bars offering substantial small plates meant to be paired with cocktails.
Boken's décor, while simple, is anything but boring. Copper-topped tables, minimalist dishware and Japanese watercolor paintings create a Zen-like setting. The service adds to the ambiance. The waitstaff and bartenders are well trained, friendly and quick to offer pairing suggestions and tasting notes on all dishes and drinks.
In terms of food, a small-plates menu is a blessing and curse, in part because it's easy to order more than you intended. Each item on the menu, which features more than 20 small plates, a handful of "skewer" options and a few side dishes, sounded so tempting that it was hard not to order everything. My companion and I stuck with the kimchee ($5), spring rolls with duck ($7), Japanese-style green lip mussels ($6), the pan-seared tofu ($6), pork belly ($6) and the scallop skewers ($6).
The dishes arrived quickly, and soon we worried if we might have overestimated our appetites, or underestimated the servings. But each dish was so well executed and unique to anything else being served in Bend that there wasn't a morsel left.
While each dish was delicious, the kimchee, mussels and pork belly were the stars.
Now, I'm not going to pretend I grew up with a mother who poured her sweat and tears into a generations-old kimchee recipe. But in my adult life, I've eaten quite a bit of the spicy, crunchy cabbage dish, and Boken's kimchee is an addictingly good version. The pork belly, too, surpassed most of the pork belly dishes I've had in recent memory. Sliced thin and grilled, the crunch of the outer crust perfectly complemented a thick layer of molten fat. The mussels, large and fresh, were served like oysters on the half shell, covered in a spicy aoli, elevating the dish from the expected bowl of mollusks to something much more elegant.
My companion ordered a whiskey flight offered that night ($12), which allowed him to choose three whiskeys from the impressive list. I stuck with a cocktail - the Shiso Mojito ($8), a combination of Hendrick's gin and muddled shiso leaf. The cocktail tasted fresh, but not too sweet, and stood up to the dishes' bold flavors.
We finished the meal off with a coconut flan - an off-menu dessert that's available upon request. Speaking of menus, Boken points out all of the local sources of the restaurant's ingredients - Carlton Farms for chicken and pork, Draper Valley for beef, Tender Greens (Bend) for produce.
Finishing our meal, it struck me that Boken is delicious, yes, but more than anything, it is thoughtful. The menu, spirits selection, décor, staff - all have been carefully curated. As I finished the last drops of my cocktail, I couldn't help but think that this is the kind of place that doesn't so much live up to expectations, as it defies them.

Will lockdown be extended by a month?
11 June 2021, 9:52pm
As Boris Johnson wines and dines world leaders and their partners in Cornwall, ministers are increasingly pessimistic over the pace of the government roadmap out of lockdown. The Prime Minister isn't due to make a final decision on whether the June 21 unlocking will proceed until Sunday with an announcement due on Monday. Yet in Whitehall, reports are circulating that a delay is near inevitable and that rather than the two week delay floated in the papers last week it could actually be for a month.
Government aides are gloomy over the chances of any substantial reopening – pointing to rising case numbers as reason for caution. Recent data has encouraged ministers to take the view that the Indian variant – estimated to be 64 per cent more infectious than the Kent strain – means any significant unlocking cannot go ahead. There could still be some form of easing. Johnson is keen for something to point to, with weddings the most likely sector to be eased (though there are conflicting reports regarding which restrictions will be lifted).
When Johnson makes the announcement on Monday, many are already braced for a delay. However, what will be key to businesses is how he phrases it. As I reported on Coffee House this week, there are two scenarios in the case of a delay. The first would see Johnson delay the lockdown and promise a review of the data in a few weeks' time. Such an option is met with heavy scepticism by business leaders as well as Tory MPs as it offers little in the way of certainty. There is a sense that it could lead to endless reviews.
The second option is for Johnson to announce a delay with a (supposed) hard deadline. Were Johnson to opt for a delay of a couple of weeks in this scenario, he would say that it was down to vaccination figures and therefore no matter what the data said, the UK would press on with the unlocking when the time came. It's this option that is favoured by business-minded ministers as it is seen as harder to move away from or fudge. It's in part why the idea of a four week delay is gaining traction as scientific advisers claim it points to any easing being irreversible.
However, any delay comes with risk. Given cases are rising, it's unclear whether scientific advisers will be relaxed about higher case numbers in a few weeks' time even with increased vaccinations. There is a creeping concern among Tory MPs that with booster shots required in the autumn and cases on an upward trajectory, any delay to the roadmap will be the first of many – no matter what the Prime Minister promises on Monday night.
