Our Experience at Hong Kong Fintech Week 2017

When one thinks of fintech, Wall Street and Silicon Valley immediately come to mind — and maybe even Las Vegas. However, we should not overlook other places where innovation in financial technology is happening right now — happening big, that is. One such place is China, and this clearly showed during the Hong Kong Fintech Week. Attending it, we had the chance to gather interesting insights into the Asian fintech sector, spending 4 days with exciting pitches, thought-provoking keynotes, and extensive networking. So, here’s Hong Kong Fintech Week, an experience report.

The Event

In 2017, the Hong Kong Fintech Week took place from October 23rd to 24th and then again from October 26th to 27th. The event has been around for a year now, but we attended it for the first time. The networking opportunities were considerable, as the session rooms of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center allowed for meetings with decision makers from all over the globe — the official Hong Kong Fintech Week online presence states that more than 4.000 attendees from well over 50 countries were present during the convention days. Compared to Money20/20 in Las Vegas, happening at the same time, we experienced Hong Kong Fintech Week as a relatively small convention, but with an enthralling line-up.

Hongkong Fintech Week is a project of Invest Hong Kong, short Invest HK. This organization’s focus lies in promoting Hong Kong as an attractive location for various industries from overseas and mainland China. As part of this endeavor, InvestHK offers companies assistance in accessing the Chinese market. Invest HK is part of the Hong Kong government and as such responsible for Foreign Direct Investment. NexChange and the Finnovasiacommunity as partners to Invest HK, co-organizing the Hong Kong Fintech Week.

Using its extensive network, main organizer InvestHK gathered more than 300 speakers from global companies (including Citibank, Swiss Re, Baidu, Ant Financial and Facebook). The talks addressed various aspects of fintech, from cybersecurity to insurance technology to wealth management. However, two central topics dominated the event, overseen by NexChange and Finnovasia, respectively. Two entire days were devoted to each of the topics — a concise timeframe, given they are currently on everyone’s lips: Blockchain and AI.

The Blockchain Days

Monday the 23rd and Tuesday the 24th October were dedicated to blockchain technology. Working with cryptocurrencies as part of our own eMoney solutions, it is a topic we are well acquainted with. As such, it provided a great entry point for us to quickly join the conversation. Only fitting for a fintech event: The schedule of the Hong Kong Fintech Week was completely accessible via an app. Thus it was easy to get accustomed to the event. Surprisingly, the same amount of “fintechnophilia” was not put into the food and drink supply. Don’t bother pulling your eWallet — cash only for the Hong Kong Fintech Week catering.

Who would have expected that? The taste of our hometown… but no Kölsch without cash!

Yet, having spent your pocket change on your daily dose of coffee, you were all set to wrap your mind around the “whys” and “hows” of blockchain technology. Much attention was devoted to Initial Coin Offers. Some speakers offered best practices on issuing new ICOs, but the pressing question was how to combat ICO fraud. Aside from investors and fintech companies, national governments become increasingly aware of the problem — the announcement by the Gibraltar Financial Services Commission to develop a “Complementary Regulatory Framework” was received with much interest. A creative approach using blockchain technology outside of cryptocurrencies comes from Gatcoin, a company running a token-based incentive programme.

The A.I. Days

On Thursday 26th to Friday 27th, the event’s focus shifted towards artificial intelligence. Living up to its name, Hong Kong Fintech Week gave prominence to Chinese companies and their A.I. strategies, proving that Silicon Valley is not the only place where machine minds can feel at home. Indeed, bringing together artificial intelligence and financial applications is a major research focus in the Far East, with companies like Alibaba, Tencent and Ping An taking front rank. Consistently, it was Ant Financial, a subsidiary of Alibaba, who presented a particularly interesting use case: They designed an image analysis software driven by machine learning. It reviews photos submitted as part of insurance claims and thus decides whether or not the client will receive a payment.

Hong Kong Fintech Week provided many possibilities to get in with the Asian fintech industry.

But wait, what would a convention be without socializing? Fortunately, the SuperCharger event on Thursday afternoon provided ample possibilities to do so. It started with one hour of company pitches, followed by a networking slot, which filled up our contact list. Thus prepared, we used Friday, the last day before our departure, to engage in more in-depth talks with new business partners about our product balancr.

The Conclusion

In conclusion, we experienced Hong Kong Fintech week as a very fruitful event, especially if you’re planning to start a business in Hong Kong. It would be a convenient time; in our view, the Chinese fintech sector is ripe with innovation. Also, Hong Kong Fintech Week is well-organized, but not sure and benefits from governmental support, which explicitly aims at establishing Hong Kong as a global fintech capital. This offers interesting possibilities for big corporations as well as start-ups.

Our next-year trip to Hong Kong is already marked on our calendar, and we are hoping to meet as many interesting people there as we did this year.

Recipes, tips, tricks, and my journey into cooking fabulous food!

Happy Adoptaversary!

I had this wonderful, endearing post written on March 3, which was my dog’s 1 year “adoptaversary”. Why didn’t I post it, you ask? Unfortunately I somehow deleted all but one paragraph messing around trying to add pictures from my iPad! Major bummer! I never had a chance to sit down and get back to it until now…almost a month later. In any case, here is the recreation of that post complete with a homemade doggie treat recipe!

Gemma Pooches

Gemma Pooches

One year ago today we adopted our cute and crazy mutt, Gemma Pooches (yes, I gave her a middle name! Is that a problem?). As I mentioned in an earlier post, the adjustment to being a first time dog-mom took me a little longer than I expected. You see, I have never owned a pet…unless you count the beta fish in a vase (remember when those things were all the rage?) I had in college. Sadly little fishy only lasted a week or so…so I don’t really count that. Anyway, I have never really been around animals that much and have had allergies to dogs & cats all my life. I have been getting allergy injections over the past 5 years and my tolerance for dogs improved greatly…doctor gave me the ok to have a pet.
Hubby loves dogs and after hearing non-stop about our friends’ dog and seeing the joy he got from playing with him I randomly said “Let’s get a dog.” He said ok, but I know he thought I was full of ‘you-know-what’. I started checking on the internet for adoptable dogs and we spent a few weekends checking out some shelters and adoption events…all with no luck. I finally found a shelter that was a little bit further from us and we headed there to see if we would find the one.

Gemma loves the pool!

I first just have to commend this shelter for being so clean and taking such great care of the dogs. The first thing I noticed (besides the craziness of so many people looking and trying to adopt) was how happy the dogs were. There were other shelters we visited that I literally started to tear up because the dogs just didn’t seem happy or most of them were just lying in their cages looking defeated. They also had many volunteers who were in and out taking the dogs for a walk or to play. Our volunteer knew a great deal about the dogs we looked at and was very helpful. We met a few dogs, but Gemma was the one I had a connection to. Now, this is where I have to stop and say that a year ago I would never have said such a thing…I really didn’t get the whole “animal lover” thing and figured a dog is a dog. There was just something about her, though, and although we liked some of the others I just had to have her.

Gemma was basically everything we said we didn’t want in a dog. For some reason, I had it in my head that I wanted a male dog, not really sure why that was, but in any case Hubby didn’t necessarily care about the gender. We did agree though that we didn’t want a dog that was too young or active. Gemma was female, only 10 months old and although she is half boxer and half beagle…her temperament is ALL Boxer! She is so full of energy and would literally play 23 hours a day if she could (I think she would at least take an hour to eat and sleep!). Our friends cautioned us about “Boxers being crazy, hyper and stubborn.” While this is somewhat true I’ve learned that with the right owner they are awesome dogs!

Gemma is a great study buddy!

We brought her home and I was completely neurotic…every little thing scared me; I was your typical first time mom…just with a dog instead of a baby! Lucky for me, Hubby is always the voice of reason and doesn’t feed in to my neuroticism…I finally calmed down a bit and Gemma & I enrolled in mommy & me classes…ok not really, it was just basic dog training, but we both benefited greatly. I have to admit that I didn’t think we were going to graduate considering we were put in the timeout room during the first session, but as the weeks went by I gained more confidence and Gemma learned her commands like a pro…I finally saw how smart she really is. After our training and reading lots of books and articles I understood how to be a good pet parent to a headstrong dog and Gemma and I have bonded into best buds.

Fast forward to the present and I am “one of those animal people”. I love Gemma and can’t imagine life without her. If I can, I take her wherever we go. When we went on vacation I called our dog boarders every other day because I missed her so much. I can’t wait to get home each day and see her and look forward to warmer weather so we can get back to our neighborhood walks and play days at the dog park. I post more pictures of her on my Facebook page then most parents do of their children. I still can’t believe I have become this person…and most people who know me can’t either!! Such a transformation.
The public service portion of my post is this: For those of you who might be considering a pet for the first time…I say make sure you are ready for the work and responsibility that goes into it…and if you feel you are willing get out there and adopt!! Don’t get stuck on “breeds” or wanting puppies…there are too many dogs who are waiting for a home of their own. Trust your gut…even if the dog you like isn’t what you have in mind!
To celebrate Gemma’s adoptaversary I made these healthy (don’t tell her that!) homemade dog treats. The original recipe can be found here. I modified it just a bit omitting the wheat germ (because I didn’t have any) and applesauce, and increased the amount of pumpkin (to make up for the lack of applesauce) and added peanut butter because Gemma just loves peanut butter! Also, this makes a lot of treats, especially depending on the size cookie cutter you use, so I recommend freezing some and taking them out a little at a time. They only last about 5 days since they have no preservatives.

Homemade Healthy Dog Treats
3 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup ground flax seed meal
1 tbsp. raw honey
3 eggs
½ cup olive oil
1 cup water
½ cup natural peanut butter
1 cup pumpkin

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour and flax seed. Set aside
3. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients; honey, eggs, oil, water, pumpkin and peanut butter. Stir until well-combined. Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix well.
4. Form dough into a ball and roll out flat onto a well-floured surface until about ¼” thick.
5. Using a cookie cutter, cut out shapes and place on prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes or until treats are very brown and very hard.
7. Allow to cool before serving.

Chocolate Candy Cookies

A friend of mine calls me her “personal pastry chef”. She is always asking me to make baked goods for her, especially when there is a party or event coming up. Her son’s birthday was this past Saturday so she asked me to make some cookies and bring them to the party. She said it was because he just loves my cookies, but I am really thinking his mommy loves them too! 😉

I chose these because I thought they were a good choice for a kid’s birthday party with the candy pieces making it look nice and festive. I’ve made these before and I typically am not a fan of using shortening in recipes, but after much trial and error making substitutions, I’ve found that the best way to make these is to just go ahead and use the shortening. These will make 3-4 dozen cookies depending on how big or small you make them. I usually make my cookies about 1”-1 1/2 “ just because I personally like a smaller cookie, plus they tend to keep their shape better and not run together. Make sure you do not skip the refrigeration step. This will save you a big headache in the long run. Also, remember to put the dough back into the refrigerator between batches.

One last word of caution….you will not be able to just eat one of these!! Enjoy!!

M&M Cookies

1 cup shortening

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup white sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp. pure vanilla extract

2 ¼ cup flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. salt

1 bag (12 oz) candy coated milk chocolate pieces (i.e. M&M’s)

  1. Thoroughly cream together shortening, sugars, eggs and vanilla.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix together the dry ingredients, except the candy. Add to creamed mixture a little bit at time, beating on low and until well combined.
  3. Stir in the candy and cover the bowl with plastic wrap.
  4. Refrigerate the cookie dough for at least an hour up to overnight.
  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  6. When ready to bake, drop the batter into 1” round balls onto the cookie sheet.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Remove the cookie sheet from the oven and allow to sit for 2 more minutes before transferring the cookies to a cooling rack.

Zucchini Bread

Well for those of you who have been keeping up with my blog, you probably know that the zucchini from my garden has been quite plentiful so far. Like I mentioned in a post a while back, I planned to make zucchini bread. Unfortunately I didn’t get around to it until this weekend. I made a couple of loaves and gave them out to my neighbors along with a zucchini. I had so many large zucchini I had to get them out of the garden because they were starting to kill the other plants!

I love this zucchini bread recipe, which I originally found on I’ve tried others but this one is my favorite. It is super moist with just the right amount of sweetness. I have to say zucchini bread is my favorite thing to make from zucchini…of course that’s only because it is a baked good…and I love baked goods! 😉  The recipe makes 2 loaves, so you’ll have some to share if you feel like it! It also freezes well. Also, I forgot to take pictures of the bread before I wrapped it up for the neighbors, but you get the point!

Zucchini Bread

3 cups flour

1 cup vegetable oil

3 eggs

2 cup sugar

2 cups uncooked zucchini, grated

2 tsp. vanilla extract

1 tbsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. baking soda

¼ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

  1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Grease two loaf pans and set aside.
  2. Combine the oil, eggs and sugar in a mixing bowl.  Beat on medium until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and the zucchini.
  3. Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add this a little bit at a time to the wet ingredients, mixing on medium.
  4. Divide the batter in half and pour into two greased loaf pans.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes or until baked through.

Mini French Loaves

Cooking for only two people can be a challenge at times. It seems like most recipes make enough food for a family of 8!  This seems to be especially true with baking and although I’ve played around with baked good recipes to make a smaller batch…sometimes you just don’t want to do the math! Or your math is off and your final product is not what you thought it was going to be. Take this recipe for French Bread, for example. I cut the recipe in half and still got a ton of bread! Luckily my brain was actually working for once and I thought why not make some “mini-loaves”? The mini-loaves are the perfect size for 2-3 people. I only use one loaf at a time and freeze the others (I use my Food Saver for this and the bread comes out as fresh as the day it was first made!).

By the way, I’ve been making almost all of our bread & buns lately myself. I am really starting to loathe store-bought bread. If you are hesitant to make your own bread or think it is a lot of work…think again! That is part of the reason I stayed away from it for so long. I’ve also found that the bread/rolls I make myself freeze much better than store bought and so I am not wasting nearly as much as I used to. Again…only 2 people can eat so many hamburger rolls, so I would throw them in the freezer but 2 weeks later they would be freezer burned and all around nasty…and into the trash 4 or 5 rolls would go (I can’t be the only person with this problem, right??)! This is not the case with homemade bread and rolls…so not only is it cheaper to make…I promise you won’t end up wasting it!!

This bread is yummy as a side dish for soup or other dishes. I served ours with some Summer Corn Chowder!

Mini French Bread Loaves

(Makes 4 “mini” loaves)

3  cups all-purpose flour

1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

1-1/2 teaspoons cornmeal

1 egg white

1 tablespoon water

  1. Using a stand mixer with the dough attachment, add all ingredients except for the flour to the mixing bowl. Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour and stir until well combined.
  2. Slowly add the remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time.
  3. Increase speed and allow dough to knead for a few minutes until it forms one solid ball and is no longer sticking to the sides of the bowl. The dough should be smooth and elastic and should not stick to the bowl or the hook when removing it.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover and allow to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  5. When the dough has doubled in size, gently punch it down and divide into four. Allow to rest on a floured surface for 10 minutes.
  6. Shape each piece of dough into a rectangle. Sprinkle a parchment lined baking sheet with the cornmeal and place the dough on the baking sheet. Using a sharp paring knife make 3 diagonal slashes in each loaf. Cover and allow to rise for 40 more minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to the 375 degrees F.
  8. Prepare the egg wash by adding the water to the egg white and gently beating with a fork.
  9. Brush the egg wash on top of each loaf and bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
  10. Allow to cool slightly before slicing. Can be served warm or room temperature.

Cake Pop….Failure?!?! I Think Not!

Not to toot my own horn…but I can bake! My baked goods are pretty awesome. There is only one problem….they rarely look “pretty”. I don’t know why but no matter how much I practice, or how careful and meticulous I am when I’m decorating…they just don’t turn out like the baked goods I see a lot of others make. To me taste is more important anyway, but when you are serving your food to people who are not your family the first thing they are looking at is the “prettiness”. I mean, if you have two trays of cupcakes and one looks beautiful and the other one looks like a 4 year old slapped some icing on top…which one do you think people are going to try?

So with that in mind, I am not sure why I thought making cake pops would be any different than the cakes, cupcakes, or the cookies I’ve made in the past….tasty but not pretty!

Each month at work we have a “staff training day” where we basically shut down so that we can focus strictly on meetings, staff development & training. As part of this, I like to treat my staff…whether it’s donuts, or bagels, pizza or my often requested “baked goods”.  I wanted to bring something different that I hadn’t brought in yet so I decided to give Cake Pops a try. I asked friends their opinions on making them and did a lot of research and read a lot of tutorials. I came to the conclusion that they did seem like a lot of work but really didn’t seem too difficult. How hard is it to screw up making a little ball of cake on a stick?

I saw this cute picture on pinterest which is how I totally envisioned my cake pops would turn out. Since the 4th of July was coming up I thought this would be a really nice presentation for my employees. Then I really became ambitious when I decided I wanted the cake in my cake pops to be multi-colored!

I was so pumped to make these awesome cake pops! I used my favorite white cake recipe and a basic buttercream and even making them “multi-colored” (red, white & blue for 4th of July) worked out nicely. I was moving along so well…thinking that I was right…a lot of work, maybe a little time consuming but overall not difficult. Adding the icing a little bit at a time to each color cake, they formed nicely into a “play-dough” consistency. I melted some chocolate and dipped the ends of the sticks in and then inserted the sticks into the cake balls. I put them in the freezer to just “firm up” and allow the chocolate on the stick to harden and become a binder for the cake to the stick.

They were looking pretty good….

All that was left was dipping them into the chocolate. From what I’d read and the advice I’d received I knew this part would probably be the “hard” part of the process, but since I wasn’t doing anything too fancy I figured it wouldn’t be so bad.

Until I started the first few and this is what I got…

Frustrated, I continued on. I took the advice of a friend to add shortening (I felt like this was good solid advice because this suggestion was also on the package directions.) to the chocolate to help thin it out, as can happen when it is over heated. Although this did seem to help a little bit and when I started dipping the pops again, it did not completely destroy the cake pops, they looked nothing like I wanted them to! The chocolate was still too thick (which I now have learned was probably because my shortening was too old and really didn’t do much to help out the chocolate. Since making these the other day I saved a few to be dipped later after I had a chance to purchase a new jar of shortening and it was much easier…still not pretty but easier!).

I was able to salvage about 30 pops that I was only partially embarrassed to serve my employees. Mostly everyone assured me they did not look that bad, but I’m pretty sure this was just because they were scared to tell the boss the truth. Only one of my employees (who is also a fairly good friend) was honest and said “wow, if you could decorate you could make so much money opening a bakery.” Thanks….I think!!!

So what was the ultimate outcome of this cake pop saga?

They tasted awesome!!!

They looked horrific!!!

It was basically just the usual…nothing fancy from this baker!

So even though they weren’t as pretty as I had planned, I am still sharing my recipe and the steps I went through to make them. Like I said these tasted great…and if you are better at decorating and working with chocolate than I am then you will definitely have success and will impress whoever you are making them for!

The final question is: ”Would I make them again?” The answer: “Maybe”.

To those of you brave enough to try them…may the decorating gods be with you!!! 😉

Cake Pops (Makes 50-60 1” cake pops)

1 white cake

1-2 cups buttercream icing

2 pkgs. (12 oz.) white chocolate melting candy

1-2 tsp. vegetable shortening

Lollipop sticks

Food coloring**, blue & red

Block of Styrofoam

(**Instead of using food coloring in the cake mix I used Wilton Icing Colors. This made a very rich color and I didn’t have to use very much at all.)

  1. Prepare the cake mix as directed. You can use a box mix, but I always prefer from scratch!
  2. Divide the cake mix evenly into three bowls. Add red food coloring (or Wilton Icing Colors) to one of the bowls and blue food coloring to another bowl, to desired color.
  3. Pour each bowl of cake mix into a separate pan or use a muffin pan. (Since you’ll be crumbling it up it doesn’t matter as long as it gets baked! :p) Bake as directed.
  4. Meanwhile prepare the icing (you can use store bought if you like) and set aside.
  5. Allow the cake to cool and once cool enough to handle crumble the cakes into three separate bowls (one for red, one for blue, one for white).
  6. Add about 2-3 tbsp. of icing into each bowl and mix with your hands. Continue to add icing a little bit at a time until the cake forms a large ball. You want the cake to be just moist like Play-dough.
  7. Next form the balls, take a little bit of each color cake and mold together into a round ball. Once all the balls have been formed place them in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10 minutes just to firm up.
  8. Melt a little bit of chocolate according to the directions on the package. This will be for the sticks. Dip the end of a lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and then insert it into the center of the cake pop about half way through. Be careful not to push the stick through to the other side.
  9. Return to refrigerator or freezer for another 10-15 minutes to allow chocolate to harden and cake balls to continue to firm up.
  10. Melt one bag of chocolate per the package directions. Add 1-2 tsp. of vegetable shortening if chocolate is too thick. Make sure to melt the chocolate in a deep dish or glass so that the cake pop can be completely covered by the chocolate. At this step, you can decorate the pops however you choose with different color chocolates and adding sprinkles, etc.
  11. Dip the cake pops in the melted chocolate and insert into a piece of styrofoam to dry.
  12. Cake Pops will be ready to eat immediately or can be frozen for a later time.

Cookies for Inspiration

So I’ve been feeling very uninspired to blog this past week. I’ve been cooking up a storm and even have a list of foods I’ve made that I want to share….but I just couldn’t get myself to sit down and share my thoughts.

However tonight I made these really good butter cookies appropriately called “Meltaways” because they literally MELT IN YOUR MOUTH!!!

One of my employees had asked if I would be so kind to make cupcakes or cookies for her classroom’s picnic tomorrow.  Since I had just made cupcakes for them I wanted to do something different, however I was met with a challenge since the Individuals we serve have various degrees of developmental and physical difficulties and quite a few of them cannot eat regular food such as a cookie. I was determined to come up with something so I set out on Google and searched for soft cookie recipes. I came across these Meltaways at a blog called Landee See, Landee Do.

I followed the recipe pretty much exactly, however my method of adding the ingredients was a little different based on some of the comments that I’d read from others who had tried to make these. I also doubled the recipe and I got almost 5 dozen cookies out of it (unfortunately I wasn’t really focused on making them all similar in size so some got a little bit on the larger side). They came out great and are the perfect texture for our Consumers with special food texture requirements.

These were really easy and quick to make and are a nice change of pace from the usual cookie recipes you come across.

Now…if I could just stop eating them!!!!  (Oh yeah….if you haven’t figured it out…these ARE NOT diet friendly :)!)

Meltaways (Source: Landee See, Landee Do)

1 lb. (4 sticks) salted butter at room temperature

1 1/2 C. cornstarch

1 1/2 C. powdered sugar
2 C. flour
Cream Cheese Frosting (see below)
  1. Using a mixer beat butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. This will take a few minutes. Stop one time to scrape down the sides.
  2. Add the sugar and beat well until combined.
  3. Add the cornstarch a little bit at a time and beat until well blended.
  4. Mixing on low speed, add the flour 1/2 cup at a time.  Dough should be thick and manageable. If it is too thin add up to the full 2 cups (I used just under 2 cups, about 1 3/4 c.) if it is starting to get crumbly you’ve added too much.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets and gently flatten with the palm of your hand.
  6. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 2 more minutes, then remove cookies from cookie sheet to a wire rack to cool.
  7. Cool completely and add frosting. Be careful when handling these cookies as they are quite delicate!

Cream Cheese Frosting

6 oz. cream cheese, softened
2 C. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
  1. Add all ingredients to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed until well combined.
  2. Add food coloring, if desired.

Slimmed Down Cakes!!

Well, as expected, this week’s weigh-in was not a pleasant one….gained 2 lbs. Although I am not surprised between feeling lousy (stupid allergies!) and eating badly (it had to be the all you can eat meat buffet I took Hubby to for his b-day or the ice cream cake I made him!) I’ve just had a rough week. I’m really hoping I can get my butt back in the saddle ASAP because summer is quickly approaching and I am nowhere near where I want to be. I just have zero motivation…even the things that normally motivate me are not…just feeling kind of blah.

So I’m wondering what those of you out there do when you feel this way? How do you keep up your motivation? I really could use some advice. It’s so disheartening when I was doing so well and I thought I was really changing for the better…here I am 2 lbs heavier…:(

Anyway, enough of that pity party nonsense. Let’s get to something more interesting…like CAKE!

So as I mentioned in Sunday’s post I wanted to share some “Slimmed Down” cake recipes. I do not actually have my own recipe that I’ve come up with but I can tell you what I’ve found to be the tastiest recipes from others. Hungry Girl offers this information for cake mix and I’ve tried the pumpkin, diet soda, and yogurt versions. I have to say that my favorite is the pumpkin. It is the truest to tasting like whatever flavor cake mix you are using and has a nice texture and remains moist. The yogurt is pretty good too and the diet soda version is just “ok.” It makes an unusual texture (but stays moist) and depending on what flavor combo you use (for example: vanilla cake mix with lemon lime soda) you can taste the flavor of the soda.

Cupcake Made from Yellow Cake Mix and Diet Lemon-Lime Soda

Then there’s microwave cakes…I’ve seen so many different ways to make microwave cakes either from scratch or with a cake mix & have tried most of them, that it’s hard to even keep track of which is better than which. However, I have to say my favorite at this point is a recipe I came across on the Taste of Home website Community Boards called 3-2-1 cake (If you do a google search for this you will find a gazillion bloggers have already blogged this so I’m not sure where the recipe originated). First and foremost it’s only 2 Weight Watchers Points Plus (most of the other individual microwave cakes are 3 or 4 WWPP) and second it is the easiest to make. Basically you combine a box of angel food cake with any flavor cake mix in a large Ziploc bag. Then when you want cake you simply measure 3 tbsp. of the angel food/cake mix mixture into a small microwaveable dish, then add 2 tbsp. of water stirring until all the lumps are gone and then microwave for 1 minute! Comes out perfect and tastes great!

Another one of my favorites is to make a pumpkin cake in the microwave using 2 tbsp. of yellow cake mix, 1 tbsp. of pumpkin, and ¼ tsp. pumpkin pie spice. This cake is great with a scoop of fat free vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt. The individual cake is also only 2 WWPP.

Last month when I made Hubby his Cadbury Cupcakes, I made a slimmed down version using devil’s food cake mix and pumpkin. Below is the recipe to make 4 cupcakes and a slimmed down frosting (will make enough for the four cupcakes). You will need a food scale to weigh the ingredients of the cupcakes. This is the best way to figure out the appropriate amount for a small batch of cupcakes. If you want to make the Cadbury cupcakes like the ones pictured, just add one mini Cadbury Crème Egg to the batter. This will make the WWPP go up to 4.

Slimmed Down Devil’s Food Cupcakes (Adapted from Hungry Girl)

Makes 4 cupcakes (WWPP = 3)

3 oz. devil’s food cake mix

2.5 oz. canned pumpkin

  1. Combine cake mix and pumpkin in a bowl and mix until well combined. Mixture will be thick, but do not add water!
  2. Divide batter into a muffin tin.
  3. Bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Slimmed Down Vanilla Frosting(Makes enough for 4 cupcakes, approx. 1 tbsp per cupcake. WWPP = 1)

2 tbsp. fat free Cool Whip, thawed

1 tsp. Sugar Free Fat Free Instant Vanilla Pudding

1 tsp. fat free or skim milk

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix until well combined and smooth.
  2. Top each cupcake with approximately 1 tbsp. of frosting.

The Best Yellow Cake Ever…Seriously!

You know what I hate? I hate when I come across a recipe that someone calls “The Best (insert food name here). In this instance, however, there is no other way to describe this cake. It is just that good!!

The flavor is perfect, the texture is perfect…what more can I say? The key to this recipe, however is that you must not substitute anything. I have learned this from experience…when I first started out cooking and baking I didn’t really understand the difference between butter and margarine so I would use them interchangably….the cake was still good but using butter is very important. (On a side note…I always use butter for everything now. I can’t even remember the last time I bought margarine…it has to be a good couple of years!) Another time I made this, I was out of cake flour so I did a quick search on how to substitute cake flour (2 tbsp. cornstarch and just under 1 cup of all purpose flour) and made it that way. Again, it was good, but nothing special and the texture was a little off as well.  Now I only make this with the exact ingredients the recipe calls for and it comes out great every single time.

Yellow Cake

1 cup butter

1 1/2 cups white sugar

8 egg yolks

3/4 cup milk

1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

2 cups cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 – 9 inch round pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped.
  7. Cool 15 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks.

Easy & Delicious Chocolate Frosting

This is a really easy chocolate frosting and it tastes great. It is also great for when you are “In a Pinch” like the other night when Hubby called and said he was going to pick up our goddaughter so she could stay over…could I possibly make a birthday cake for her?? Of course I did…in no time at all. I hadn’t made this frosting in a while so I forgot how good it was and especially how easy!

If you have trouble with the consistency, simply add milk if it is too thick or add more powdered sugar if it is too thin, but be careful…if you add too much sugar it will be too sweet. If this happens, just add more cocoa powder a little bit at a time until you get it to your taste preference.

If you are really in a hurry soften the butter in the microwave and combine all ingredients in a bowl and use a whisk to mix it all up…you don’t even need a mixer! I always use my mixer because I think the consistency is better, but if you are really in a hurry you could definitely just whisk away! 😉

This makes a TON of frosting, so you may want to cut the recipe in half. This is more than enough for a two layer cake (2 round 9″ cake pans). Don’t be alarmed by the amount of butter…it’s definitely not healthy in the least but it tastes awesome. My theory when it comes to cakes & frosting…might as well do it right. Later this week I’ll share some Slimmed Down versions of cake & frosting for those of you who are watching what you eat…but ultimately there is nothing like the real thing!

Quick & Easy Chocolate Frosting

3 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar

1 cup cocoa powder

1 1/2 sticks (1 1/2 cups) unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup milk, room temperature

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

  1. In a mixer, beat the sugar and butter until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the vanilla. Then add the cocoa a little bit at a time until well combined.
  3. Add the milk and mix until light and fluffy.

Golden Cornbread

This is my favorite cornbread recipe. It has a great texture, it’s moist and it is has just the right sweetness. It is also really quick and easy to make and so much better than the boxed kind. I made this to go with our Smoked Ribs, for a real southern barbecue meal!

Smoked Ribs, Green Beans & Corn Bread

Cornbread (Makes 12 large servings)

1 cup flour

1 cup corn meal

2/3 cup sugar

3 ½ tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

1 cup milk

1 egg

1/3 cup vegetable oil

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a glass 9×13” baking dish with nonstick spray.  Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well until there are no lumps.
  3. Pour batter into prepared baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes.
  4. Cut into 12 large pieces, or 24 small pieces. Serve warm.

Every year I get excited for all the so-called “Oscar Movies” to come out. This year promises some great ones. But what really struck me this year, are how beautifully designed and unique the posters for these films are.

Having worked at Showtime Networks creating movie posters and key art, I know how challenging it is to go against the grain. Mostly because the higher-ups want “floating heads” of their stars to help sell it to the public. I think HBO changed that years ago, and certainly we’ve seen great design coming from the movie studios lately, but this year seems to have quite an interesting batch.

I love all the use of typography: elegantly wrapping around images, handwritten type around a soft profile, stacked type, slanted type, retro type. The graphic motif in “Buried” reminds me of the famous 1960s poster for Hitchock’s “Vertigo”. The series for “Black Swan” uses a 1930s Germanic Deco look to portray the dark edge of the film’s story. The remake of “True Grit” by the Cohen Brothers uses the old, western style motif. And I love how soft and pink the “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work” poster is, as she is anything but.

I was already excited to see these films. These beautifully designed posters makes me want to go even more.

Assange Warns Of Deep State Plot To Overthrow Trump & Install Mike Pence As President

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange claims that the ongoing deep state coup against Donald Trump is an operation by establishment forces to unseat and replace him with Vice President Mike Pence.

In  a tweet on Thursday Assange said that Trump’s political capital had “been openly looted for months now by GOP, CIA, Netanyahu, Goldman Sachs, etc.”

The Free Though Project reports:

Essentially, Assange is saying is that the aforementioned stakeholders who want to see Trump gone have played a long-game, whereby they have worked “to extract as many unpopular positions as possible (e.g tax cuts for the super rich), push the resulting political corpse to Mueller & install Mike Pence.”

This, of course, was done as means of severing Trump from his political base, which largely opposes CIA interventionism, Zionism, and globalist banking cartels. The idea behind it being that when Mueller moves to recommend impeachment, Trump will have strayed so far from the positions that got him elected that there will be a minimal public outcry in his defense.

This follows chatter earlier this year that some saw Mike Pence as “the Deep State’s insurance policy.”

In fact, Wikileaks’ Assange, tweeted back in March, that there was a plan afoot by Hillary Clinton and her loyalists within the Intelligence Community to force a “Pence takeover.”

As the Washington Post’s Josh Rogin observed back in March:

“Pence is seen by many in Washington as a figure who might stand up for the traditionally hawkish views he espoused while in Congress, a proxy of sorts for the GOP national security establishment.”

Assange’s position about the Pence coup has been acknowledged by independent journalist, Mike Cernovich, who broke the Susan Rice unmasking story, and has previously said that inside sources have confirmed that Pence is working to remove Trump in a deep state coup.

Back in August, Cernovich reported having inside information from White Houses sources that claimed Pence was working behind the scenes to count Republican votes in Congress for a possible impeachment vote to remove Trump. T

Rumors of an internal coup began during the election campaign when it was reported that Pence began plotting a coup after a tape of Trump boasting about groping women was made public.

The tape’s release, one month before the election, caused dissent among senior Republicans and led to several withdrawing their endorsements and calling for Trump to withdraw as the party’s presidential candidate.

Pence, known as a deeply religious man, was said to be “beside himself” over Trump’s comments on the tape. Pence’s wife Karen was reportedly disgusted and called Trump “reprehensible—just totally vile,” according to the Atlantic.

what I did when i went home to help my mental health

Hi everyone, first of all thank you for the on my last post where I explained that i’m having a difficult time with my social anxiety.  ( previous post here ) In the post i said to try and help me clear my mind i was planning to go home to relax from the pressure there is to socialise that there is in uni. I know a lot of people struggle with winding down so i thought i do a post about what I did.

First of as soon as i wheeled through the door i got a hug from my mum and an insult from my little brother  i was officially home, it was also just lovely to catch up see if everyone in the family is ok and then catch up on the pointless family gossip everyone has.   After that my dad brought us a Chinese takeaway you have no idea how happy this made me i have just a simple sweet and sour chicken balls and chips but for someone who’s been eating mainly pasta at uni the flavoring and the fat was just food heaven. my family even said i looked like i had been in i’m a celeb i eat it so fast! This was one of the reasons i knew i could relax at home for one i don’t have to cook or wash up which is very hard to do and tiring because of my cerebral palsy but i also wont get judged for how i eat or if i have a hand spasm and drop some food on the floor.

Now that i had stuffed my face i went to do something i had been dying to do for weeks, listen to Nathan Sykes album unfinished business full blast with headphones on. I hadn’t been able to do this at uni because my laptop there doesent have a jack to plug in the headphones but i knew it would help cause music is a big distraction for me as it takes my mind of things and im huge fan of Nathans so i can just fan girl as well.

I spent the rest of my time carry on catching up with family playing rubbish but addictive apps and binging on gavin and stacy.

I wouldn’t say my time at home has completely cured the problem i was having cause i still haven’t left the flat since ive been back but i definitely feel less overwhelmed by my situation and like ill never go out again and a failure, Ive never really believed in self care but it turns out my favorite food family and favorite tv really can help.

If anyone relates to this or has an self care tips comment below 🙂

    Hey Courtney. I’m glad you enjoyed yourself when you went home and it sounds like you had a lovely time with your family.

    As someone who has ongoing medical conditions I’ve had Epilepsy and a mild form of hydrocephalus since childhood and have a family history of Glaucoma I can totally relate to the judgement thing especially since I am also a middle aged trans woman who despite knowing my identity since my primary school years only started to live as a woman at Christmas 2008.

    University can be a challenging environment for disabled people but by making intelligent adaptations to suit your needs in all aspects of life as we have we have to do when we have what the chattering classes call issues, you are going emerge from the degree years far stronger than you went in to them and you’ll achieve success on your own terms and you’ll do it by looking after yourself.

    You see, as you and I both know, it’s not selfish to take me time it’s necessary and does wonders for your mental health.

    Love And Best Wishes
    Gayle X

      • tartantights says:

        Hey Courtney University can be like that, especially if like you and I there additional issue to consider. So if you ever need someone to chat to and build you up on your down days just give me a shout and I’ll do whatever I can to help.

        Love And Best Wishes

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (Reuters) - Francesco Molinari kept the coolest head in Carnoustie as he steered a steady course through a wild afternoon of nailbiting tension at the British Open on Sunday to become the first Italian major champion.

With a strong breeze causing mayhem at the top of the leaderboard which a charging Tiger Woods had topped with nine holes to play, the 35-year-old Molinari buckled down to produce a flawless 69 and claim victory by two strokes.

Overnight leaders Xander Schauffele and Kevin Kisner ended two shots back in four-way tie for second place with England’s Justin Rose and Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy.

Molinari ended a compelling four-day drama on eight-under 276 — the lowest combined score in the eight Carnoustie Opens.

Huge crowds descended on the seaside links and the majority were willing Woods to claim a fairytale 15th major a decade after his last one. But it was the American’s playing partner Molinari who wrote his own script to claim his major breakthrough at the 36th time of asking.

With defending champion Jordan Spieth, Woods, English duo Rose and Tommy Fleetwood and McIlroy in the Sunday mix, the Molinari sub-plot was almost overlooked as the leading groups went out.

Yet his recent form, two wins and two runners-up finishes in his last five tournaments, should have served as a warning on a day when a steady hand was needed on the tiller.

While Spieth, Schauffele and Kisner endured a rollercoaster ride across the sun-blasted links, as if spooked by the presence of a resurgent Woods, Molinari cranked out 13 consecutive pars before making his move.

He rolled in a birdie on the par-five 14th to move into the lead on seven-under.

With Rose and McIlroy in the clubhouse on six-under, Schauffele fought back from a 40-stroke outward nine to get to seven-under but Molinari was unflappable.

Carnoustie’s 18th hole has witnessed its fair share of horror shows but Molinari safely negotiated the snaking Barry Burn with his tee shot before planting his second to six feet.

Molinari was a picture of calm as he walked up to his putt and only after it disappeared into the cup did he allow his mask to slip — turning to punch the air.

The most anxious he looked all day was sitting watching Californian Schauffele play the 17th and 18th.

When Schauffele’s par putt stayed out on the 17th the Italian puffed out his cheeks knowing only an eagle for the American at the last could deny him.

The moment Schauffele’s approach stopped short on the 18th green the celebrations could start.

“It is absolutely amazing,” Turin-born Molinari, who went bogey-free from the 17th hole of his second round, said.

“The course bit me a few times the first couple of days, but then to go bogey-free over the weekend on a course like this is incredible. For the first time I felt like I was ready for it.

“Playing with Tiger makes it even more special. I couldn’t have written it any better.”

Molinari broke a sequence of five majors won by Americans and for a while Woods looked like making it six.

In his trademark red shirt the 42-year-old looked in complete control as he birdied the fourth and sixth holes.

He reached the turn in 34 strokes and with Spieth and Schauffele imploding a few holes back Woods was suddenly clear at the top of the leaderboard on seven-under.

A miss-hit flop shot at the 11th ended cost him a double-bogey that stopped him in his tracks and although he birdied the 14th to stay in the hunt he fell just short, finishing in a tie for sixth on five-under.

Spieth’s hopes of emulating Woods by winning the Claret Jug for a second successive year withered away as he slumped to a final-round 76 on a desperately hard scoring day.

He had looked assured as he began with four pars but a bogey at the fifth rattled him and the wheels fell off when a trip to a gorse bush ended with a double-bogey at the sixth.

McIlroy had struggled to make any headway but when he eagled the 14th he rocketed to the top of the leaderboard.

Rose also eagled the par-five 14th — the only hole that was offering any gifts as a course so docile on Saturday bit back.

In a mostly agrarian society the family farm was the primary reason for multigenerational families living and working together. Industrialization and a move to the cities meant an end to most multigenerational families as families began to lead rather independent lives. Today, mostly due to tight financial reasons the multigenerational family is becoming a little more popular due to financial necessity.

Grandparents helping with child rearing, housework, and some financial support such as paying some or all of the mortgage payments and food budget.

Grandparents can live longer in a family setting before being shuttled off to an expensive nursing home with dire living conditions.

Both parents can work full time.

Adult children can further their education online, in the community, or travel away from home in a college or university setting.

Adult children can work in low level entry jobs and save up money to buy a car or save up money for further useful education and avoid massive student debt.

If an adult child woman gets pregnant or an adult male marries and the wife gets pregnant there is a potential support group of grandparents and parents if living independently is out of the question.

Caring behavior and ability to socially interact with differing ages is important values taught in a multigenerational family unit.

Family disagreements and strife if grandparents are very religious or dogmatic and try to run their offspring lives and choose sides.

Family turmoil increases if any family member is severely alcoholic or has a drug addiction problem and gets in trouble frequently with the law.

Job mobility is limited if it means traveling to another state for a better job. Old grandparent and parent friends and neighbors may have to be abandoned due to a job relocation.

A drug addicted or alcoholic, stealing, unemployed adult offspring may have to be excluded from the multigenerational family.

A lazy infrequently employed adult offspring may mooch off of the family for too long.

An unemployed adult child may want to cohabit with a pregnant female with the multigenerational family. Unemployed cohabitation realistically should not be an option.

Grandparents with dementia or Alzheimer’s or severe immobility may need home nursing care unless they are institutionalized.

Too great a size of the multigenerational family may lead to temporary or permanent cramped living circumstances.

Ideally a family with offspring should be able to live independently and have an ability to move at will if better job opportunities arise.

Realistically for financial reasons a multigenerational family unit should theoretically be able to live together relatively peacefully. If each unit with the exception of children contribute financially to the multigenerational family unit and no one adult intentionally mooches off the rest of the members then peaceful cohabitation is possible as long as there is no intergenerational strife caused by unnecessary dominant meddling behavior.

For city dwellers multigenerational family living may be impossible due to the relatively large size of the family and limited living space. So living in relatively crapped quarters may be the only realistic financial situation for city dwellers.

    This is great!

    My only suggestion would be to add the ability to save multiple sets of login information. I use Unfuddle both at home and at work, and log into several different accounts. Signing out and signing in isn't so bad, but I'd love to not have to re-enter the information every time.

    Great! So where's the Android app?

    I am with Iain - I have multiple accounts and would like to be able to switch easily also.

    Great job though!

  6. June 3, 2010 Patrick

  7. June 3, 2010 Stefan

    Great stuff. But can you make this available in Australia please.

  8. June 3, 2010 Carla

    Another one for Australia!! Before July 13 (OS trip planned and need access!)

  9. June 3, 2010 Wayn

  11. June 4, 2010 Brent Deverman

    Thanks for this it looks great I would also have to request to be able to switch between two instances of unfuddle easily.

  12. June 4, 2010 Steven M

    Yep, this would be great, but in Australia too please.

  13. June 4, 2010 Brendan

  17. June 4, 2010 Rob

    This looks great! The only thing that I am missing as a ticket pusher is the audit trail.

  18. June 4, 2010 Charlie

    +1 for multiple accounts and switch easily.
    No I have to wait to pop-up on the dutch iTunes store :\

  19. June 4, 2010 Mark

    Looks great, it's not available in the german appstore yet. Though there's a 3rd party app called refuddle - which doesn't do much and is imo pretty useless.

    Can you give me an eta on when it's available?

  20. June 4, 2010 Rick

    Please write an Android app!

  21. June 4, 2010 Australia

    Yep, this would be great, but in Australia too please.

  22. June 4, 2010 Jonas

    If your planning on translating it, don't. Just release it for rest of the countries. ( Sweden :) )

  23. June 4, 2010 Jeff

    how about an unfuddle desktop widget for windows?

  24. June 4, 2010 Ben Scheirman

    So far I like it. My votes for important functionality:

    1) Multiple accounts. I have 3.
    2) OpenID support. Seriously. I had to look up my login info
    3) Browse code
    4) See commit logs, diffs
    5) register an iPhone URL like unfuddle://ticket/5123 or unfuddle://commit/5123125412 and include these links in the Unfuddle notification emails. would allow me to jump right to those items within the app while browsing my email. EPIC.
    6) Maybe push notifications

    All in all, well done. I like the app a lot.

  25. June 5, 2010 Ouriel Ohayon

    we have been waiting for this app forever and we are so happy that we put it on the home page of our site http://appsfire.com

  34. June 7, 2010 Sean Corfield

    This is wonderful - thank you! I've been using the website on my iPhone for a while and with all the ajax stuff and the general layout it's really slow and painful so this app is a huge productivity bonus for me! The handling of tickets is extremely slick.

    I mostly work with one domain on Unfuddle for my day job but I do work with other accounts so I'll second / third / fourth the suggestions of others to support multiple accounts.

    Nice work and congrats!

  40. June 7, 2010 Lalit

    Awesome, i haven't tested it yet, but looks great.

    Android, please!

  43. June 7, 2010 Daniel Wintschel

    I also have 3 separate Unfuddle accounts that I log in to on a regular basis. The ability to save multiple credentials would be tremendously useful (pretty please).

    Thanks guys, this is great.

    Good job. I'm using it now in Guernsey.

    My team mate uses Android though, so an Android app would be particularly useful!

  51. June 8, 2010 Steve

    Great. Except I don't know any developers that have an iPhone. We all use Android, so an app for that would be great please.

  52. June 8, 2010 Mark

    Seconding Ben Scheirman's requests.
    Especially diffs and multiple logins would be very useful.

    But I am unable to reload the ticket reports. It seems that they are chached, so if I change some report settings on the web interface or add new reports, they don't appear in the list. Or am I missing sth?

    Happy unfuddling

  75. June 24, 2010 Eric

    We use unfuddle mostly for SVN, and while the checkins appear in the app they don't have a link to the site to view the files changed and the diffs, e.g.

    The dashboard on the iphone app just isn't updating for me. I've shaken the phone and see the update spinner, but the latest updates don't show. I've also tried logging in and out, as well as deleting the app and reinstalling. The changes were made 5+ hours ago so I can't see it being a time sensitive issue. Help? Otherwise this app is a nice attempt.

  81. July 1, 2010 Eric Marden

    I second to the Nth power everything Ben Scheirman said. OpenID is a no-brainer, and unfuddle:// links make the app an essential part of my workflow. I'd even pay for the app if it had those features.

  82. July 1, 2010 Jeff

    Another request for Android.

  83. July 2, 2010 Abdul Qabiz

    Thanks for building an iPhone app, it really helps. I have some feedback as well as concerns:

    1) Is this app available via Apple India store?
    2) Can we have an ability to see data in offline mode? f.ex: tickets, messages and other items, which have been downloaded once can be seen without internet connectivity? You can exclude attachment, as long as it was not seen earlier. (This might require tweak in preferences, where you ask for cache expiry timing?)

    3) Navigate between items through links (in commit, notes, etc) - It's already mentioned above.

    Offline data availability would really help us.

Facebook Bans All Cryptocurrency Advertising Including Bitcoin And Ethereum

Social media giant will no longer allow ad platform to be used to promote “financial products and services that are frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices, such as binary options, initial coin offerings, or cryptocurrency.”

On Tuesday, Jan. 30, social media giant Facebook announced in a blog post that it would be banning all advertising related to cryptocurrencies.

[Ed note: Investing in cryptocoins or tokens is highly speculative and the market is largely unregulated. Anyone considering it should be prepared to lose their entire investment.]

Product Management Director Rob Leathern explained that though this is not intended to reflect Facebook’s stance on the cryptocurrencies, but rather to remove the possibility of scams and bad-faith actors using the platform to manipulate users.

“We want people to continue to discover and learn about new products and services through Facebook ads without fear of scams or deception. That said, there are many companies who are advertising binary options, ICOs and cryptocurrencies that are not currently operating in good faith.”

He goes on to show the new official policy here:

As shown above, phrases like, “New ICO! Buy tokens at a 15% discount NOW!” and “Click here to learn more about our no-risk cryptocurrency that enables instant payments to anyone in the world” are now deemed unfit for the social media platform.

Leathern also explained that this policy “is intentionally broad while we work to better detect deceptive and misleading advertising practices, and enforcement will begin to ramp up across our platforms including Facebook, Audience Network and Instagram.”

Bona waterborne finishes have limited toxic fumes and low VOC's so they are healthier for your family, pets, and the environment. In addition, there is no need to vacate your home during the finishing process due to fast dry times and easy water clean-up. This Swedish waterborne technology highlights the true beauty and elegance of the wood and provides the ultimate in durability.

Bona's trailer-mounted Bona Atomic Dust Containment System is the most forward thinking innovation in the industry and the world. The powerful system evacuates airborne dust generated by the sanding process. It virtually eliminates lingering dust in your air-ducts and a clean-up dust storm headache that feels like it will never end.

At Bona, we reuse materials within our own production and also design our products to reduce landfill clutter. Our Bona Microfiber Cleaning Pads are machine washable up to 300 times, saving you money and protecting our shared environment.
