Re: 5G.9
Only D and E will be the same. D and E are the expressions for K in both the forward and reverse reactions. K is always constant at a certain temperature, so those values will stay constant. A, B, and C are all dependent on the amount of moles or specific partial pressures and will differ between the two containers.

Re: 5G.9
D and E will remain the same. Both are equation used to find K of the reaction in the forward and reverse direction. This ratio is a fixed constant.

Lone Star Taqueria
Let me say up front that all three were good, but the pork tacos were very good. The carnitas was flavorful and crunchy, yet tender and juicy. This is a true feat since most carnitas are dry and a little tough. The carne adovada was equally good -- seasoned and fragrant, moist and tasty. The standard accompaniments of onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, and and hot sauce added to the experience. Sublime it was.
Bayleaf Cafe
Review: Okay, so I'm writing this review a bit differently than I usually do. Usually, I assign a rating to the reviewed restaurant. However, I can't in good conscience assign a rating to the Bayleaf Cafe because it has, in essence, multiple personality disorder. One personality is an old fashioned southern restaurant which serves soul food. Another personality is that of a southeast Asian restaurant. I partook of only one personality, and until after having partaken of the other, I will withhold all ratings. Now, on to the food.
I had one of my favorite dishes: chicken and waffles. Ain't much better than fried chicken. Ain't much better than waffles. Ergo, ain't much better than chicken and waffles. And while this syllogism is unsound, Bayleaf Cafe's chicken and waffles is not. The dish was served with only the chicken and the waffle, which is good since the dish didn't need anything else muddying the waters. After cascading loads of honey onto the dish, I dug in. The waffle, which should be the star of the dish, was crunchy and fluffy (if not a little thin for my taste). The chicken was golden brown and juicy. While I would have preferred a chicken thigh to the breast used (thighs have more flavor), and slightly more seasoning to stand up to the honey, I enjoyed the chicken. In all, the combo was just plain good and satisfying.
I look forward to going back and experiencing Bayleaf's Asian personality. If it's anything like the southern personality, it's gonna be good.

Burger Bar
The first time I went, I decided to go a little back country and try the elk burger.
The second time I went, I had the Big Ben. The Big Ben is nothing more than a really large burger. And it's large in width, not in height. This is what makes it different than other large burgers. The Big Ben was simply dressed, and it was slightly juicier than the elk burger. That said, the elk had better flavor.
The fries were what you would expect: crispy, light, flavorful.
In the end, this place produces good stuff, especially the elk burger. My next trip to Roy (whenever that will be) will be filled with more quality time at the Burger Bar.

Capo Gelateria
My son became addicted to gelato while living in Italy when my wife was performing "Madama Butterfly" near Rimini. The addiction has proven long-lasting, since every time he sees gelato he stares at it, points at it, longs after it, until we purchase it for him. He's rather fond of chocolate. We're rather fond of pistachio. We picked up a medium cup with both flavors.
Now, we don't normally buy gelato in America since we are so often disappointed by it. This time, however, we enjoyed it. Both gelati were dense and creamy, although a little airier than it should be. The chocolate had a nice, deep chocolate flavor. (Aside: this chocolate gelato possessed none of the pronounced bitterness found in the chocolate gelato at Vinto.) The pistachio lacked a truly upfront pistachio flavor (this is a shame since we have very good pistachios grown nearby in Arizona), but it was quite good nonetheless.
We also sampled some of the other flavors. All were good. We could tell they use fresh ingredients and cared about their product. This said, as with all American gelaterie, the fruit gelati lacked assertive fruit flavors. Hopefully, Capo will continue tweaking their recipes. They're certainly on the right track.

Lamb's Grill Cafe
Review: I experienced the Lamb's Grill Cafe for the first time during a recent group lunch. We all sat in the dining hall in the back of the restaurant. The ambiance was great. Classy. Relaxed. Quiet. Everything you want in a great lunch spot. The food, however, was not good.
Since our group was of fairly ample size, we had a limited menu. I chose a ground beef steak. The steak was altogether dry and tough. Worse yet, it was smothered with a vinegary roasted bell pepper sauce. There was almost as much sauce as steak -- never a good thing. The mashed potatoes were unremarkable, and the vegetables were standard, unseasoned steamed vegetables with about as much character as your junior high math teacher.
Attempting to assess whether I just picked a substandard dish, I talked to others around me about their food. All said the same thing: The food wasn't very good. Eventually, one of the lunch organizers told me they knew the food wasn't that good, but they chose Lamb's Grill because of its downtown location and the dining hall space. Sounds about right.
I honestly hope the rating I'm about to give will change as I frequent the Lamb's Grill again. That said, hope doesn't change bad food into good food.

MacCool's Public House
Review: MacCool's is sort of, kind of, an Irish pub with pub food. I say sort of because much of the food is quite americanized. That's fine. Hybrid food is very often good food. This hybrid food, however, is a bit hit and miss.
A cheesesteak has three primary components: 1. bread, 2. steak, 3. cheese. The bread at the Philadelphian was soft, very soft, too soft. Some people like ultra-soft bread. I'm not one of those people. A bread with a little tooth makes a much more interesting sandwich. The steak was tasty, although a bit dry. The cheese was provolone only. As I eat more cheesesteaks, the more I'm convinced Cheez Whiz is the way to go. There's just something about how it melts into the steak juices that makes the cheesesteak experience special. In all, the cheesesteak was alright.
And then there were the onion rings.
I know. I know. They look like fat fried calamari. Part of the reason they look like this the batter is hand-made in a bucket right before your eyes. It's a beautiful thing to watch. Unfortunately, the batter to onion ratio is about 5 to 1. The onion is simply lost amongst all that batter.
In the end, I liked this place. There's something to be said for small joints churning out pretty good food day after day. But I didn't love this place like I hoped I would.

Bombay House
Review: I have a confession: I love Indian food. I love it almost as much as I love Italian food. In fact, when I enjoy a little Indian, it sort of feels like I'm cheating on Italy. Oh well, a little cheating never hurt anyone, right?
Seriously though, both cuisines are as delicious as they are divergent. Italian food is the ultimate rags to riches story. At its heart, it's a pauper food, based on severe poverty, simplicity, and quality of ingredients. Only relatively recently has it been elevated to a rich man's food. Indian food (in a broad sense), a pauper food in its own right, is based more on complexity of spicing, heat, and extracting maximum flavor from lower quality cuts of meat. Indian food's strong vegetarian strain also sets it apart from other cuisines. Anyway, does the Bombay House do Indian food justice and make me feel okay about my cheating ways? Hell yes.
I've been going to the Bombay House since a friend recommended it at BYU during our ungrad days. The place had me at chicken coconut kurma. Since that first time, oh so many years ago, the Bombay House has extracted untold amounts of money from my wallet. And the quality has only increased over the years. It is one of the better restaurants I have ever frequented. Tonight's dining experience was no different.
We started with the saag shorba (a soup of cream, spinach, tomatoes, and spices).
Sure doesn't look like much, but add a little lemon wedge and this stuff is money. The spinach and the cream make it substantial. The spices make it complex and flavorful. The tomato and lemon cut through the fat of the cream and make the soup refreshing. Goodness, I'm salivating just lookin' at it.
We then moved on to the main event: bhuna gosht. (At least, I think it's called bhuna gosht. It's a new dish, so I might be off base with the name. In any case, it's a lamb dish cooked with potatoes, tomatoes, onions, ginger, and various spices.)
Here's a picture of the entire spread.
Top right hand corner is the rice, and mango chutney populates the right bottom right. The lamb dish was had a good acidic quality on the tongue, which played well against the inherent fattiness of the lamb. The potatoes were really well cooked: mostly soft, but with just enough texture left to make them interesting. This, coupled with a little mango chutney, made my mouth happy.
And let's not forget the naan.
Light, carbonized in the right way, not doughy. Good stuff.
While we only had water tonight, the mango lassi is very good, as are the desserts. The kheer is a rice pudding with cardamom, cashews, and golden raisins. If you like cardamom (and why wouldn't you?), you'll dig kheer.
A note on price: the Bombay House ain't cheap. The saag shorba is $3.50. The entrees range from $12 to $15. A full dinner for two will run you about $35 to $40. But who gives a rip? Buck up and pay the cash. You'll be better for it.

Pizzeria 712
Review: Pizzeria 712 is a newish pizza joint opened by former Sundance employees. It's location doesn't appear terribly auspicious (it's right off State Street in Orem on the bottom floor of a partially defunct condo-commercial complex), but none of this has anything to do with the quality of the food. So, on to the food.
My buddy Marc and I started with 712's rendition of the insalata caprese.
It included Jacob's Cove heirloom tomatoes (local organic tomatoes), house-pulled mozzarella, olive oil, basil, balsamic vinegar. I can't say enough good things about this salad. Pulling the mozzarella in house removes the graininess found in many commercial mozzarellas. And the tomatoes, oh the tomatoes. They were perfectly ripe and garden sweet with a beautiful texture. Wonderful, just wonderful.
We then moved on to the pizzas.
Mine had soppressata, speck, garlic, tomatoes, and mozz.
It was disappointing. The crust was light and non-doughy, which is good, but it was pulled in such a way that portions were thicker than others. Because of this, the crust was altogether too thin is some spots. Additionally, cooking the speck (a form of smoked prosciutto) caused it to lose all semblance of smokiness and gave it a leathery texture; a true shame.
Marc's had marinated tomatoes, arugula, grana padana (an aged cow's milk cheese in the parmesan vein), ricotta, and shaved garlic.
The ricotta was creamy and wonderful. The marinated tomatoes were money. Everything else worked well, although the arugula was wilted and tasteless. Unfortunately, however, this pizza suffered the same crust problem as the first.
In all, a little hit and miss. That said, I'll certainly be back to try more dishes at 712.
Rating: Tomato and mozz salad 9, pizza 6, overall, 7.

The Kathmandu
Review: I heard about The Kathmandu (TK) the day I arrived in Salt Lake. I asked for restaurant suggestions, and a friend recommended TK because it was right down the road. He was especially sold on the lunch buffet. Well, it took me a couple months, but I finally followed his recommendation.
We began the meal by ordering the Kathmandu Combo Platter, which includes Lamb boti kabab (a type of lamb sausage), chicken tikka, chicken tandoori, paneer pakora (fried homemade cheese), aloo tikki and sami kabab.
At $10.95 this is a little pricey for an appetizer, but well worth it. The lamb boti kabab was flavorful and well seasoned, as was the chicken tikka and tandoori. (To be truthful, the chicken tandoori was a little dry, but still good.) Perhaps the best part of the platter were the vegetables, which, even after cooking, retained their structure and fresh flavor. The cauliflower spiced with tandoori spices was especially tasty. Now, on to the entrees.
We ordered three entrees: khashi (goat curry), chicken coconut korma, and prawn curry. Let's look at each individually.
1. The khashi, a Nepali specialty, was spicey goodness.
The thing I most appreciated was the goat was still on the bone, complete with sinews. In all, the goat was tender and not particularly gamy. As they always do, the bones imparted additional flavor.
2. The chicken coconut korma (one of my favorite dishes ever) was not particularly well spiced. In fact, it fell flat. There was none of that Indian depth of flavor that comes from its complex and heavy spicing. Additionally, the sauce had a mayonnaise consistency to it. Just a bit thick for my taste.
3. I was divided on the the prawn curry. The sauce was good enough (although nothing particularly special), but the actual prawns were overcooked and tough. Overall, substandard.
Now, on to the sides. The naan was slightly more dense than I usually enjoy, but had good taste to it. The mango lassi (mango and milk drink) was the best I've ever had. Thick with lots of mango flavor, and not too sweet.
In all, I really enjoyed some items, and some others had some significant problems. TK was about average as far as Indian-Nepali restaurants go.
(Note: I have heard the lunch buffet is quite good. I obviously haven't tried it, but I'll blog about it when I do.)

Review: My buddy's law firm is across the street from Vinto's. I've passed it a hundred times. Today, I partook.
Vinto is based on an increasingly popular concept: the wood-fired oven pizzeria. It's interior is hip and trendy. My son quite enjoyed the ceiling lights suspended in large white-weaved hollow balls. Yeah, trendy shmendy. You know what's really trendy? Good food, and good pizza in particular.
My buddy Todd and I (we have both lived in Italy) began with pizza. I ordered the margherita (tomatoes, mozzarella, basil).
I actually wanted a prosciutto cotto (pizza with tomatoes, mozz, and cooked ham); but when I asked the waiter if they had prosciutto cotto, he stared blankly for a few seconds before saying, "We have prosciutto." I realized at that point things would not be going well. The margherita was not terribly good. The crust, while light and thin as a good crust should be, was stiff and tough. The tomatoes, while of sufficient quality, were too few. The pizza felt dry. The cheese was good, but nothing special. Additionally, the portion size was small. (Now, Italian style pizza is not about size, it's about quality, but this was small even for an Italian style pizza.)
Todd ordered the tuttabella, i.e., "all things beautiful" (sausage, caramelized onions, sliced tomatoes, garlic, roasted bell peppers, fresh mozzarella).
The sausage (made on site, to Vinto's credit) was the best thing on the pizza. The roasted peppers lacked flavor, and the caramelized onions were lost in the mix. This just didn't work well.
We ended the meal with dessert. I ordered the Vinto Taster, a collection of Vinto's house-made gelati (flavors: coconut, amarena, strawberry, mango, pistachio, chocolate).
Now, when I eat gelato, I expect the flavors to hit me in the face, and then yell, "You like that!? You taste me now!?" Vinto's gelato did nothing of the sort. While creamy and smooth, the tastes were not assertive on the palate. The fruit gelati tasted like milk and sugar with some fruit as an afterthought. The chocolate possessed an odd bitter component (I say odd because I love bitter chocolate) that overtook the taste and made it almost unpleasant. The only gelato that really worked was the coconut. It's mild coconut flavor made me actually desire coconut: a true feat.
And Todd ordered the apple crostata.
(Wow, what a gorgeous presentation.) Having enjoyed a fair number of crostate in my day, I can't say this was one of the better ones. The apples were entirely dry (and I mean dry, like English sitcom dry), and the vanilla gelato lacked a pronounced flavor of vanilla. (Do we see a theme here?) The dough, which should be the star of the show, was just okay.

Tacos Don Martin
Review: Tacos Don Martin (TDM), what can one say about you? Here are a few things: alright; okay; meh; not bad; sure, I'll go again, maybe. I had high hopes for this little Sugar House taco stand. This place is surrounded by restaurants with much higher budgets and fancier facades. Heck, not a block away is Chipotle: that bastion of slick corporatized Mexican fast food whose recipe is so formulaic that its burritos somehow (and only heaven knows how) taste like meat twinkies. Against such great odds we all want the little guy to succeed. Unfortunately, objectivity must prevail.
As I approached TDM, all signs pointed to "this place will be good." There were a number of Latinos ordering, none of which spoke a word of English. So far, so good.
The condiment tray had all the normal condiments. Cool. The stand itself was simple and elegant in its ergonomics. The selection of meats was standard, yet authentic — e.g., al pastor, lengua, pollo, tripe, etc. Promising, promising.
I ordered three tacos (all of which came on two white corn tortillas): al pastor, lengua, and cabeza.
The al pastor was stringy, dry, and not spicy. The lengua was tender and juicy, but entirely lacking in seasoning and flavor. (Note: to all those out there who cringe at the thought of eating tongue, don't. Tongue is one of the best cuts of meat out there. The generous amount of intramuscular fat makes it tender and lovely. Try it. It will not disappoint.) The cabeza, which refers to the meat taken from the head of a cow, not the brain of the cow), was quite good. The meat was cooked to tender perfection, and the spices accented the flavors well. So, one out of three. That might be a good batting average in baseball, but it doesn't cut it in the land of taco stands.
The condiments were all freshly prepared. However, the salsa had no kick to it at all. Not even a twinge of capsaicin on the tongue.
I'll go back for the cabeza taco, but that's it.

Downtown Philly Cheesesteaks
Review: Now this is a damn cheesesteak. This is the kind of cheesesteak that makes you want to do nothing, absolutely nothing, but sit down and watch TV for hours after you eat it. 'Kay, with the platitudes out of the way, let's get down to specifics.
I ordered the 12" cherry pepper steak (steak, onions, cherry peppers, cheez whiz).
(Ah, that picture brings back happy memories.) The steak was flavorful, fatty, juicy. Its juices comingled with the whiz and dripped off the sandwich in a wonderful little cascade of lusciousness. The cherry peppers added a nice heat component, as well as a nice acidic contrast to the steak and whiz. The onions were a little undercooked for my taste (i.e., they were crunchy); but, to be honest, there's so much going on here I didn't mind. My only beef (get it? beef?) is the bread: it's too soft. It was so soft it actually stuck to my teeth after my first bite. A harder crust and more substantial interior would have made this cheesesteak absolutely incredible.
One more picture, just 'cause.
The prices at DP's are pretty reasonable too. There are three sizes to choose from: 6", 9", and 12". Most six-inchers are $4.99 to $5.99, jumping to $9 and $10 for twelve-inchers. In addition to cheesesteaks, you can order pastrami and ham hoagies. Chicken is also available on all sandwiches (why, I'm not quite sure). DP's also has some East Coast favorites like Birch Beer (sort of like root beer) and Tastykakes (pre-made pastries in the Hostess mold).
Oh, one last thing. Like Moochie's, DP makes a creamy jalapeño sauce, as well as a horseradish sauce. I used both sauces, and prefered the jalapeño sauce. Really though, the cheesesteak was so flavorful, any such sauces are completely unnecessary.
In sum, good prices, very good cheesesteaks, fast service.
Rating: 8/10
Oh, alright, one more picture.

Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana
Review: There are very, very few things in this life I claim any expertise in. (Parenting. Goodness, no. Law (I'm a criminal defense attorney). Meh, sort of. Vacuuming. Maybe.) But if there is one thing I am an expert in, it's pizza. I lived in Italy for years. I speak Italian to my son. I have taught classes on pizza artistry. I have sat around and chewed the fat with pizzaioli. I have eaten pizza at the best restaurants in Naples. Pizza is how we know God loves us. With that in mind, let's examine Settebello Pizzeria Napoletana.
Settebello is a certified VPN (vera pizza napoletana) establishment, and is the only such establishment in Utah. The VPN certification, which is expensive and time consuming to achieve, was developed to help publicize restaurants that conform to Neapolitan pizza making standards. (This is significant since Naples is the birthplace of the modern pizza, and is almost universally recognized as having the world's best pizza. Sorry, New York. Double sorry, Chicago. Had your pizza. You ain't got nothin' on Naples. Nothin'.) In essence, Settebello is trying to taste like a real Italian pizzeria tastes. Did it accomplish it's goal? Let's find out.
Salad: When my wife was singing in Italy last summer, my son fell in love with insalata caprese; that incredibly simply salad of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. If given a choice, it's all he would eat. So, naturally, we ordered the caprese. It was not good. It was under seasoned. The tomatoes were not ripe. The mozzarella was all right for a domestic mozzarella, but somewhat grainy. At $7.50, it was absolutely not worth it. (Disagreeing with my assessment was my son. He ate every last mouthful with abandon.)
Pizzas: There are three components to a good pizza.
First, the dough. This is the star of a pizza (not the toppings). A good pizza dough should be thin in the middle with a little rise on the sides in order to keep the ingredients on the pizza. It should be stretchy, light, and somewhat delicate. Settebello's dough was pretty well done. The middle was thin, and while the sides were not quite as light as an Italian pizza (i.e., they were a little dense and doughy), it worked well. Additionally, there was just the right carbonization on the bottom of the pizza. That's right, a real pizza should be burned slightly on the bottom. This is a natural, and tasty, consequence of cooking a pizza in a 800+ degree wood-fired oven. So far, so good.
Second, the sauce. It should be nothing more than crushed tomatoes and a little salt. The tomatoes should not be cooked prior to being placed on the dough. Settebello hit the money here. The tomatoes were high quality. Great stuff.
Third, the toppings. We ordered two pizzas. A margherita (tomatoes, cheese, basil), and a prosciutto cotto (tomatoes, cheese, basil, cooked ham).
The mozzarella was the same used in the insalata caprese. It didn't work terribly well there, but when melted it lost its grainy component. It certainly isn't water buffalo mozzarella, which is the gold standard, but accommodations are necessary sometimes. The basil was fresh and clean. One thing I loved about the basil is it was sliced, as opposed to being left whole. Italians usually utilize whole basil leaves, and I've never understood why. Slicing imparts much more basil flavor. In any case, Settebello got it right. Lastly, the ham was a good quality prosciutto cotto. My only beef was the portion size was too small for the pizza.
In all, I have had better pizzas in Italy, but I have also had worse pizzas there. Settebello does an admirable job replicating a unique culinary taste. It is the most authentic Neapolitan pizza I've had in America.
Price: The margherita was $10. The prosciutto cotto was $12.50 (the extra $2.50 was unjustifiable given the amount of cotto on the pizza). When you figure a large pizza from Pizza Hut is $10, and this pizza is twenty times the quality, you're getting a pretty good deal.
The oven: And then there's the oven. It's a thing of beauty.
I could go on about it's dimensions and capabilities, but suffice it to say, it is equivalent to those used in Italy. For those who have never seen anyone make a pizza in such an oven, here's a video of a Settebello pizzaiolo doing his thing.
Rating: Pizza 8/10, insalata caprese 3/10, overall 6.5 (the caprese was really that pitiful)

The Cloverfield Paradox, which in 2012 was God Particle before being loosely connected to J.J. Abrams ongoing franchise, has been premiered on Netflix, Sunday night.
First time directed Julius Onah worked of the script by Oren Uziel, The Cloverfield Paradox follows the same basic plotline that was first floated for the mysterious project years ago:
"a space station orbiting above the Earth attempts to power up a particle accelerator in an effort to create a vast reserve of free energy for the depleted, desperate planet something goes wrong with the experiment and the crew of six, led by Kiel (David Oyelowo) and Ava (Gugu Mbatha-Raw), find that the Earth has disappeared."
The first Cloverfield told an epic monster tale in intimate terms through shaky-cam/found footage cinematography, while 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane was a gripping exercise in tension, claustrophobia, and paranoia. Unfortunately The Cloverfield Paradox follows in the same footsteps as other highly anticipated but major let downs of Netflix, a.k.a Death Note and Bright. It's sad to see that not only Netflix loose their high acclaim, but also to have an epic franchise of Cloverfield be met with a mediocre film.
The Cloverfield Paradox has left me disgruntled, with their poor sub plots and zero creative content. The Acting and the main plot was good, almost great but that's about it.
The Cloverfield Paradox, on Netflix.

Pick Up Truck Water Tank
FAQ: Is there a non-potable tank that I can use in my pickup?
Question: Hi. I am looking for a pick up truck water tank that I can use to haul water around my facility. I am not sure if you have anything like this, but I am looking for something that can hold about 200 gallons. The water is not going to be used for drinking, just to water items around my facility. What would be a good option?
Answer: For transportation in the back of a pickup truck, there are a couple of different options you could consider. One of the most common options for this type of water mobility is one of our Plastic Pick Up Truck Water Tanks. Made in several different models, including an option designed specifically for pickup truck tanks, these tanks are typically made with a low profile to help with stabilization during various transport applications.
If you have questions about products, give us a call at 1-772-646-0597 or request a price quote.
Plastic Pickup Truck Features
The plastic pickup truck tank is the perfect robust option for transporting water in the back of a standard size pickup vehicle. These tanks are available in three of the following standard sizes:
- 210 gallons
- 325 gallons
- 425 gallons
All pick up truck tanks are made from a durable, high-resistance polyethylene material that is naturally resistant to rust and corrosion. All tanks feature a low-profile setting that provides increased visibility out of the back of the truck.
Additional Portable Options
In addition to the standard size pick up truck water tank, we also offer several options to help with the transportation of water and other liquid materials. These tanks are made in several different shapes and models and include the following options:
- Elliptical Poly Tanks
- Horizontal Tanks
- Plastic Leg Tanks
- Small Rectangular Plastic tanks
- Side Mount Wedge Tanks
Water Trailers
If you are looking for larger water transportation options, we also offer several water trailers in sizes ranging from 200 to 1600 gallons. These tank and trailer systems feature a polyethylene storage tank and robust outer trailer frames. This allows for successful transportation water to needed locations. Water Trailers have been used for any of the following transportation options:
- Water Spraying
- Vegetation Watering
- Landscaping
- Pesticide Control
- Tree Spraying
- Fire Suppression
- Dust Suppression

Dragon Pearl restaurant has been operating in Bandar Seri Petaling for quite some years and a pretty regular food joint for the residents living in the vicinity. Since the previous owners have migrated to Australia, they sold the business, hence the word "new" was incorporated into their signage. I've been here when they first opened their doors years back and found their food pretty savory and their prices being reasonable too. I'm back again today to find out if the quality of the food is better than the former.
Home cook pig trotter @ RM 12.00/set (家乡猪手) ~ Fat and lean pork run together perfectly provided they are well-cooked. The home cooked pig trotter here at NDP was carefully prepared with a smooth skin which gives a good mouthfeel while the lean meat was tender enough to slide well down the throat. The savoury braising gravy was very flavorful but was rather starchy for my liking. It'll be great if they tone it down a little by diluting it. Nevertheless, no qualms!
Marmite ribs @ RM 18.00 (M)/(妈蜜骨/中) ~ The sticky, caramelized marmite sauce has a strong flavor but in a very good manner, not bitter, but the spare ribs were kinda tough though resulting in most of its flesh sticking to the bones. Nevertheless, an interesting try.
Special clay pot fish head @ RM 25.00/½ fish head (招牌神奇煲鱼头/半片) ~ I couldn't really describe this dish in terms of flavor. All I knew was, it's boiled with chunks of deep fried grouper, cabbages, beancurd skin and plenty of sliced gingers all put together. I akin this to some kinda fish soup? Although I'm not into fish soups but I must admit that the taste was sweet and I was lucky enough not to come across any fishy smell that can seriously make me lose my appetite! For whatever reason, the gang loved it!
Stir-fry brinjal in preserved shrimp sauce @ RM 8.00 (招牌咸虾茄子/小) ~ Looked ordinary but after tasting the very first piece you just can't stop yourself from having the second one! The preserved shrimp sauce (咸虾酱) is totally invisible to the naked eyes but the usually empowering sauce is nicely imparted into the brinjals with supple flesh and crunchy green beans which is not too oily and near perfection. It only begs for you to mix it with the rice and savour it. Must order!
Stir-fry long green bean @ RM 12.00 (s)/(干扁四季豆/小) ~ This was very ordinary, but the minced meats complimented the normally tasteless long beans nicely.
Stir-fry HK Nai Bak (L) @ RM 18.00 (清炒奶白/大) ~ A very simple to prepare dish no doubt but to dish out a plate that filled with good wok-hei while retaining the crunchiness and flavor of the mini veggies can be a task. Here, they got it all right.
Pepper salted squid @ RM 30.00/seasonal price (盐椒鲜鱿/时价) ~ I'm not a calamari fan due to the fact that it is often served flat and tasteless. However, the pepper-salted squid here gave me a different perception on this dish. Deep fried with a great salt-n-pepper coating to a perfectly crisp uniformity while retaining the chewiness of the squids requires certain degree of skills. Pepperish, but certainly in a very good way. Served with chopped green scallions, chillies and a bit of browned chopped garlic thus giving additional flavors. It can be served with mayonnaise but it's just as good on its own. Whichever way, they are all winners. Slightly pricey for its size but the great taste made up to it.
Jelly pudding (大菜糕) ~ On the house dessert to chill out the system after all the scrumptious food.
I would say that this new chef on the helm fared slightly better from the previous one and for only RM 142.00 inclusive of rice and drinks, there's basically no way I would not do a revisit. Afterall, I've yet to try out many signature dishes that lined the walls. I'll be back, without doubt!

Writing words for the Web
Did you know that people read text on the Web differently than they do in print? For instance, most people scan Web pages in an F-Pattern, from left to right at the top and then down the left hand side.
There are other differences too. Words on the Web need to draw the reader in right away. Nobody reads all of the text on a website, so you need to keep the text short. Plus, you need to provide visitors with clear signposts so they can get the information they need quickly. Take a look at the homepage of this website, and you'll see what I mean.
So don't just dump pre-written words from a document onto your website. Use a copywriter with website experience, who knows what they are doing.
Please click on the examples below and contact me for more information.

Ship logs using syslog to logstash
Step 1 - Download SSL Certificate
Download star.logit.io.crt file and place in /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d/ or another directory
sudo mkdir -p /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d
sudo curl -o /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d/star.logit.io.crt https://cdn.logit.io/star.logit.io.crt
rsyslog trusts these root CA keys to validate the key presented by logit.io, preventing man-in-the-middle attacks.
Step 2 - RSyslog
On many distros, also install the rsyslog-gnutls package (including CentOS, Fedora, Debian, and Ubuntu).
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d/star.logit.io.crt
$ActionSendStreamDriver gtls
$ActionSendStreamDriverMode 1
$ActionSendStreamDriverAuthMode x509/name
$ActionSendStreamDriverPermittedPeer *.logit.io
*.* @@your-logstash-host:your-port
- If possible run the latest minor versions of rsyslog v7 or v8. There are many TLS bugs in past versions.
- Ensure you have @@ not a single @ infront of the host. This is so TCP is used.
Step 3 - Restart
Restart rsyslog so it detects the TLS-over-TCP destination:
sudo /etc/init.d/rsyslog restart
Step 4 - Troubleshooting
could not load module '/usr/lib/rsyslog/lmnsd_gtls.so',
rsyslog error -2078 [try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2068 ]
could not load module '/usr/lib/rsyslog/lmnsd_gtls.so',
dlopen: /usr/lib/rsyslog/lmnsd_gtls.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[try http://www.rsyslog.com/e/2066 ]
First, make sure that module actually exists by running ls against the path in the error, such as:
ls -la /usr/lib/rsyslog/lmnsd_gtls.so
If it doesn't exist, install the related package (often called rsyslog-gnutls) or if you compiled rsyslog from source, compile the module.
sudo apt-get install rsyslog-gnutl
Second, ensure that the user which runs
rsyslog has permissions to read logit.io's public key (in the instructions above,
/etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d/star.logit.io.crt). On many distributions, rsyslog starts as root and then drops to a user. In that case, run:
chmod 644 /etc/rsyslog.d/keys/ca.d/star.logit.io.crt to let all users read the key file.
Finally, this may appear if you are using
$ModLoad lmnsd_gtls to explicitly load the TLS module, and that configuration option occurs before the
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile has been defined. Explicitly loading the module is rarely required and the configuration above does not use it. We recommend removing that
$ModLoad lmnsd_gtls option and relying on autoloading. If your
lmnsd_gtls needs to be explicitly loaded, like because it is in a non-default location, move the
$DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile config line above the
$ModLoad line.

I'm looking at the promotional information for the new Marriott Rewards Premier Plus Visa card, and it is clear to me that a use would get only 6X points for stays at SPG properties - and would not also get the normal additional award of points for stays. It is not clear to me whether or not a user would get both 6X points and the normal award of additional points for stays at Marriott properties.
If additional points for stays are not awarded, it seems to me that in some cases one might be better off sticking with the existing Premier Card.
Has anyone received definitive clarification from Marriott?

Why Purchase Appliances Form The Specialized Stores.
Shopping at the specialized appliances stores does not hit the minds of many people when they want to shop for home appliances. Many people will visit the big home improvement stores. After all they may seem to have a lot of options available, and they are right around the corner. The fact is if you take a trip to this type of store you may be impressed with all of the features available to you.
One of the common misconceptions that people have is that when they walk into a traditional home improvement store or other box stores, they have access to all of the appliances on the market. People tend to think they will get the most current models, the most excellent designs and the most affordable items are in these shops. This is usually a wrong assumption. Most of the retailers will not have all the brands of a given product and some lack the biggest models. They would like you to think that they do but that is not the case, and for that reason, you will be limiting yourself if you visit them. Rather you should visit one of the appliance stores near you.
If you ever visited a home improvement store, many people who can help you are teenagers or young adults without any real working knowledge of appliances. They can help to pack the product into the car, but they cannot tell which models offer the best features or which is the best economy product. By visiting an appliance store, you get a customized help from the experts who know what you need and helps you to locate the product that is suitable for your needs. Know that the features of all products will vary from one model to the other. Ask form the experts what is right for your home and your specific needs.
You can easily find the hard to locate items in the appliance stores. You could be in search of an accessory of a very old washing machine. No home improvement store has anything like that in the stock. You could also be searching the most recent washer that has not entered the common market. Appliance stores will give you an opportunity to get the home products that you want at an affordable price. When the product that you are looking for is not available in these stores, they will order for you so that you have your needs met.
You should never undermine the presence of appliance stores. These stores provide one of the most excellent places to shop your home appliances at fair prices. Have your needs stated before you make any decision. With guidance of the experienced personnel you can get the best services.

The VAST (Video Ad Serving Template) 4.0 specification was released in January 2016, but hasn't seen widespread adoption. Some recent updates point to an opportunity for successful pickup of the standard.
In this paper we lay out the reasons for this current state, and call on the industry to adopt the proposed changes.
Creative has always been a key part of traditional advertising, ensuring the message receives cut through in print, TV and radio advertisements. But the same can't be said in the history of digital, with creative sometimes being secondary to reach, frequency and targeting. On this page we have rounded up all of our latest creative resources, designed to fully embrace digital advertising in all shapes, sizes and formats.
The digital landscape saw 20,446,000 people actively surfing online in June 2018, with Australians 18+ spending an average of 81 hours online per person.
The Australian Digital Advertising Practices have been created specifically for advertisers in Australia to facilitate better relationships with agencies, publishers and digital platforms, and to foster shared responsibilities for digital ad spends and outcomes.
The IAB Australia Advertising Effectiveness Council has produced this Playbook to showcase the importance of creative, what it can do, and how it can best be optimised to create a successful campaign that speaks to the audience in a meaningful and relatable way.
The IAB Australia Display Creative and Mobile Creative Guidelines have now been updated from the initial version released in October 2016 and more fully embrace HTML5 technology as the new standard for ad creatives.
These creative updates are the result of testing diverse HTML5 ad creatives for load performance and user experience to determine the optimum specifications for allowed file sizes and other HTML5 considerations.
The latest round of IAB/PwC benchmarks, aggregating census data from comScore, IAS and Moat on all AU inventory tracked through their services for viewability, monitored over 10 fold more inventory than our first round of data from Apr-Sep 2016.
The podcasting advertising market in Australia has grown significantly since the IAB Australia Audio Council endorsed the first US IAB podcasting technical measurement guidelines in 2016. Nearly half of media agencies indicated that they have used podcasting for clients in the 2017 IAB Australia Audio Advertising State of the Nation study.
This report is a localised version of the "Live Video Streaming – A Global Perspective" report conducted by the U.S. IAB in conjunction with On Device Research. 4200 'live video streamers' from 21 countries were recruited for an insight on device and content consumption trends across different markets.

CBD To Help You Sleep
Sleep is very important to people because it allows them to grow well, get rested and energized for the next day or for the next few hours. That's a good thing but a lot of people today usually deprive their selves of sleep. It is usually because they have to due to their lifestyle or demands at work. That being said there are still people that find it hard to sleep after the end of the day. They could be suffering from some kind of sleep disorder or are just plain insomniacs. There are ways for people to go to sleep like when they drink a warm cup of milk, a dark room, health supplements and others. Speaking of health supplements there are those cannabidiol products or CBD that can help people get some much needed sleep. CBD for sleep products can vary into what they look like and what they can do. Their primary effect at the end of it is to help a person sleep the healthy way.
A few CBD products to help people sleep
We of course have those CBD sleep products that come in medicinal form. Just like pills, tablets and capsules that people can ingest. Make sure to follow the required dosage so as not to potentially harm your body in the process.
You can also order CBD oil to help you sleep. When it comes to the oil though, you don't necessary have to ingest it. There are others you can consume internally but most of these CBD hemp seed oil for sleep and others can just be used externally.
What you do with these oils is to simply apply them to your face. Most people apply small amounts near their nose and most of it on their forehead. The cool and soothing feeling will help the person go to sleep. Just make sure that you use the right CBD oil dosage for sleep.
Where you can get them and a few things to consider
You can always get these CBD sleep products in your local areas. They should be accessible in groceries since they don't require a doctor's permit to get them. The local pharmacies should also have a few of them available for you to get over the counter.
The internet is also a good place to look for these CBD products for oil. In fact you can get other alternatives for them. Just like those CBD vape oil for sleep. Those could also be an alternate way to help you get to sleep which is to vape some CBD oils.
Now of course aside from sleep, CBD can be helpful in other fields as well. They can help alleviate neural problems such as seizures, epilepsy and others. They can also be handy for mental problems like anxiety and many more.
Don't worry because you won't get high when you use these CBD products. Drowsiness is what you can get but that's the point if you want to go to sleep.
Sleep is good and if you have a hard time getting it, settle for some CBD products or other alternatives.

Who are they endorsing and why?
I made a shortlist of some international leaders that won't be allowed to vote. But I have their endorsements for you;-)
Nicolas Sarkozy – President, France
McCain – Sarkozy would be terrified to bring his wife Carla Bruni to the states when the President looks way better and is way more charming than him. That won't be a problem with McCain.
Wladimir Putin – Russian Czar or whatever his current title is
Obama – McCain is no match for Mr. Superfit. He likes to wrestle his opponents down and drag them into all other kinds of physical exercises. Can't do that with a 72 year old that might die of a heart attack. He'll expose Obama's smoking habit.
Silvio Berlusconi – Prime Minister, Italy
McCain – Obama has plans to actually do something about education. Berlusconi has plans too: Stick all immigrant kids into special ed and cut 8bln Euro of the education budget. Obama would give him an earful and he won't have that. He can also show off next to McCain as the better looking guy in retirement age.
Stephen Harper – Prime Minister, Canada
Obama – He is afraid that McCain will actually find some oil with all the drilling planned and it would kill their oil sand business in Alberta. Plus Sarah Palin can "see†Canada and might know too much about them.
Angela Merkel – Chancellor, Germany
McCain – Obama drew a 200k crowd in Berlin within 4 days of announcing his visit. She is still in therapy because of that.
Osama Bin Laden – Mountain Lion
McCain –McCain stated to stay in Iraq for 100 years if necessary. Bin Laden will never be out a job.
Asif Ali Zardari – President, Pakistan
McCain – Apparently he has a crush on Sarah Palin and already offered her dual citizenship. He will also follow Bin Laden's endorsement.
Gordon Brown – Prime Minister, Great Britain
Obama – Finally someone that is as charismatic as he is. No more poodle meeting W. It is going to be "showtime"!
Lula – President, Brazil
McCain – His pronunciation resembles the soft Portuguese language. He sounds like a "homie†to them. Plus Obama might outperform everyone at the Brazilian Carnival and that could leave Brazil deeply depressed. McCain won't be dancing with the stars.
Felipe Calderón – President, Mexico
Obama – He will give Green Cards to their legions of high net-worth individuals with University degrees.
Hu Jintao – President, Peoples Republic of China
McCain – Finally someone that is nearly as old as their leaders.
Saturday Night Live
McCain – It will guarantee them 90% ratings over the next 4 years. Otherwise they'll be back to selling tapes from their old shows.
You thought the entire world would root for Obama on Tuesday but apparently things are much more divided than many of us have thought.

The Oakland Raiders are not in Las Vegas, and are not the Las Vegas Raiders. This news comes as some media outlets openly write fake news that the Silver and Black are either headed to Las Vegas from Oakland, or that the move has already been approved. Raiders fans, neither of those claims is true at all. As I explain on my Zennie62 at YouTube video here (you can also bookmark Zennie62blog.com for more news or visit the Oakland Post), the Oaktown Raiders have only filed for relocation with the National Football League:
According to Eric Grubman, NFL Executive Vice President for Business Affairs, there's more to be done, much more. Grubman said An application has two basic parts:
1. A notice that the Club is formally requesting permission to move; an
2. Supporting documentation and information supporting the application.
Grubman says that Item #1 is very short, basically a letter, whereas Item #2 is very long. "It is all the financial information, materials related to stadium location design, contracts/agreements/leases, and so forth and so on. Item #1 is easy to understand. Item #2 will take a long time to study and analyze."
Grubman remarked via email "From here, we will begin to map out the necessary internal meetings and committee meetings necessary to put the Committees in a position to make a recommendation to the Membership at a full league meeting. During the internal and committee process, we will ask questions of the Raiders and get further information/explanations as necessary."
Where things are right now, is Las Vegas has a lot to do before it can even claim to be ready for an Oakland Raiders relocation, let alone a positive NFL Owners Meeting review. I talk about the problems in this Zennie62 vlog:
Basically, The Oakland Raiders NFL relocation filing is the same approach as was done in 2015 leading to 2016 by the Raiders for the Carson, California relocation attempt which would have put them in the same stadium as the San Diego Chargers. So all the Raiders will do is refiled the same basic documents, with some adjustments here and there.
Those documents contain the Raiders rather slanted complaints about the Oakland Coliseum as it is now. But what one must question is why the Raiders themselves have never pursued rebuilding the Coliseum stadium? NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has said (video at Zennie62 on YouTuibe) that the Raiders are partially to blame for not having a new stadium in Oakland.
Is this what he meant?
Everyone knows Las Vegas has a weaker media economy than Oakland does. Oakland rests at the center of the giant San Francisco Bay Area. The SF Oakland Bay Area is three times larger than Las Vegas. A Raiders move would be nuts, to say the least.
Las Vegas must add over 20,000 manufacturing jobs before it can be considered ready to host an NFL team. Vegas' economy is too much based on tourism; it must have a robust export sector.
Stay tuned.

We are constantly looking for data that can have true market impact; Xeneta is the only source that provides this for container freight. It provides detailed, global coverage of both long and short-term rates, allowing us to provide research that accurately predicts changes in earnings for shipping lines. Having looked at all data providers available, we are very happy to have finally found one accurate and broad enough to provide value to our clients.
DNB Markets' Shipping Team publish regular equity research reports on major shipping lines, including Maersk. Reports contain buy or sell recommendations
based on their view of each line's likely future earnings. DNB looks to create models of future earnings to support their recommendations, by using data sources available to them. Other data sources in the market could not accurately forecast shipping lines' earnings as they were either inaccurate or only had limited coverage (both geographically and by type of contract). DNB needed to find a better data source to be able to include accurate forecasts in their reports.
DNB subscribed to Xeneta, the world's largest database of contracted ocean freight rates. Xeneta's data covers all global trade lanes and includes both short and long-term rates. Xeneta's data allows DNB to understand the global market and see changes in rates which will affect carriers earnings.
DNB built a model based on Xeneta's data, which accurately (R2 = 0.93) predicted Maersk's earnings historically. DNB can now use this model to forecast Maersk's earnings before they are released to the public, allowing them to provide better guidance in their research reports.
Xeneta's data allows DNB to estimate Maersk's average container rates across all their global corridors. Their model weights these averages by Maersk's global volumes to produce an average container rate. Changes in this average can then predict changes in Maersk's reported actual container rates, predicting changes in revenue, profit, and ultimately share price.

Goodwill of South Central Wisconsin (SCWI) will open a new retail store and donation center in the Good Neighbor City of Middleton, WI at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 15.
The 14,000 square foot store is at 6280 Century Avenue. Goodwill SCWI is pleased to fill a space in Middleton that had been vacant for an extended period of time. The fully-renovated structure will be LEED certified with increased natural light and solar panels.
The new location in Middleton joins 11 other stores in south central Wisconsin.
"The growth of Goodwill SCWI's retail operation fuels the expansion of community services for people with barriers to employment throughout the 14 counties we serve," said Goodwill SCWI president and CEO Vicki Holschuh. "We're very proud of the LEED certification, which is a wonderful expression of our commitment to sustainability."
While Goodwill is well-known to bargain hunters, each new Goodwill store and donation center also presents employment opportunities for the community. The new location will have a staff of 25‒30 people for everything from entry-level to professional management positions. Jobs at the new location include receiving, sorting and pricing donated items, stocking the floor and cashiering.
Goodwill SCWI has been a part of the Middleton community since 2009 through its stand-alone donation center on University Avenue. That location will close with the opening of the new store, with all staff moving to the new location on Century Ave.
Goodwill SCWI is a local, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, with more than 300 employees in a 14-county region. The retail stores and donation centers are the economic engine that fund Goodwill SCWI's mission services. Goodwill SCWI also supports and trains people with barriers to employment, providing job coaches for more than 150 people in partnership with 100+ local employers.

Have you ever been listening to the radio and heard a "beeeeep" in some parts of the song you're listening to? You know, the annoying sound that interrupts the song? The sound is a familiar one among those of us that listen to the radio, in particular Rap/hip-hop music stations. This noise is heard because it's used to bleep out/censor the word that was previously there; the word was most likely 'bad' or offensive. Censorship is a growing concern for our society, whether it's because of the lack of censorship or too much.
To understand censorship, it's important that you know exactly what it is. According to an article by Jonathan Alter, "Let's Stop Crying Wolf on Censorship" he believes that …show more content…
"Though it may be seen primarily as a form of entertainment, rap has the powerful potential to address social, economic, and political issues and act as a unifying voice for its audience." (Becky Blanchard) Rap faces a lot of scrutiny and struggles to people that are outside of the hip hop community. Record companies are mainly worried about raps selling. If they have to force the artist to change their words so that a song will sell, then that's what they do. They don't care about the rappers roots or the message the rapper wants to get across. Is rap music violent? Well sure. But that's what the rap culture is about, it has stemmed from violence. Why should a rapper be punished for expressing their views? They shouldn't. Rap should not also be blamed for the violence in America. Violence is violence, it

Pope Francis' popularity has fallen in five years from 88% to 71%, according to a poll published in Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
Pope Francis remains the most popular Pontiff of recent decades, but according to Demos' research poll, since his election in 2013, the popularity of the head of the Roman Catholic Church fell from 88% to 71%
The newspaper comments that this decline may also be due to the fact that the Pontiff was an outspoken supporter of the rights of immigrants and refugees, "while there is a climate of fear regarding demographic changes and movements ".
83% of the Democratic Party's center-left voters say they appreciate the work of the Argentinian Pope. In contrast, only 73% supporters of the Five Star Movement and 70% of those in favour of the Lega 70% see the Pope in a favourable light. Finally, for young people aged 15 to 24, the popularity of the pope stands at 54%.

On The Threshold: Some words on the streets of pre-Brexit Britain
By Alessandro Pasetti, 17 September
"British households' confidence about their financial situation held at its highest since 2015 this month, as their concern about inflation eased and they were relaxed about prospects for the year to come, a survey showed on Monday." – Reuters, 17 September.
"Uncertainty brings opportunity" is one of the most recurring clichés in the investing world, but there's some truth in it, particularly if you are a real estate investor trained to read the runes.
Risking everything to risk nothing at all
Let me share with you, briefly, the story of my lovely sister, my business partner in the UK who is in her mid-30s.
In the immediate aftermath of Brexit in mid-2016, she negotiated a sound property deal worth £390,000, mainly financed by equity. She bought a semi-detached house in West Sussex, funding a large portion of her purchase in euros, which strengthened dramatically against Sterling after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
Source: Bloomberg
When negotiations with the seller began, it was immediately clear that she had gained pricing power because the owners of the house she bought were in a chain, and felt the urgency to grab the opportunity, mainly due to Brexit-related uncertainty. That meant the parties agreed a deal well below (~10% or so) the asking price.
Cash outflows from her then-whopping £450-a-week rent in Ealing Broadway, West London, where she lived for almost six years, were immediately halved when her new mortgage – which was struck on convenient terms and on a long-term fixed rate – kicked in, as well as due to the conservative funding mix. The Bank of England has raised benchmark policy rates twice in the past year, so that proved to be a wise decision, although interest rates have gone nowhere fast since 2016 and consolidation of the 2% area appears to be the most likely outcome through to 2019.
Source: Bloomberg
Decision time
In those days, in our second year of business, with all the hard work and uncertainty that setting up a new shop brings, my sister traded her dependency on rent to become the owner of a place she loves. And, more importantly, she ended up owning an asset that gives her greater financial freedom – paper gains, too, need a mention, given that prices in her residential area have been holding up well over the past 24 months.
More recently, a relatively young couple I know well relocated to SW London, and their property, worth just below $1 million, was worth every penny they paid. There was some currency arbitrage involved, too, but the side effects of a highly volatile exchange rate during the purchase process were broadly contained.
Another married couple who work in finance are confident that a $1.5m bid in NE London will be soon accepted, while some other friends have bought a nice piece of land in the countryside; their cash outlay was not that significant, but anything over $100,000 is meaningful, right? For them, too, more freedom, a healthier lifestyle and a chance for their children to grow up outside of the pressure cooker of London were too hard to pass up, and the economics were surely worth it.
Elsewhere, a fund manager I am doing some work for recently complained that its house in posh North London was not appreciating at the same speed as previously, "although I have never thought of selling it for any price, because I enjoy it and this is the right place for me". Prime London is resilient, as research from specialist Knight Frank shows.
(Source: Knight Frank)
As far as I am concerned, I am an asset-light guy, but when the outcome of the Brexit vote emerged two years ago, I tripled my equity position (I had a relatively small exposure as a percentage of my total portfolio allocation), eventually profiting awesomely from a surge in selected equities with meaningful UK exposure – Yoox Net-a-Porter, which was later taken over by Richemont, was my biggest win.
All the UK investors I know, one way or another, have decided to bet on a stable outlook for a country that would be daft to so simply allow a no-deal Brexit deal, given the consequences, to come to pass, as I have argued ever since the doomsters have to tried to scare us with the most bearish scenarios. Yet, if you do not trust our judgement, how about the view of some of the largest corporations and investors on earth?
Well, only a few months away from the final Brexit deadline, it could be your turn to profit from broader uncertainty before the dust finally settles.
More than a just bunch of friends
Not only is British households' confidence at its highest in years, but, in case you missed it, the largest Spanish lender, Banco Santander – which gained larger exposure to the UK after the purchase of Abby National in the pre-crisis credit binge years of 2008 – recently announced that "it would build a new technology hub in the English town of Milton Keynes, representing an investment of £150 million ($196.82 million)".
Elsewhere, oil behemoth Exxon is "preparing £500 million upgrade to UK's largest oil refinery", marking its "biggest investment in the UK sector in nearly 30 years".
As it happens, "Record London rents lure overseas landlords" to the housing market, Bloomberg wrote recently, adding "Brexit-driven pound weakness gives buyers more for their money". So, unsurprisingly, "Korean investor Hana (is) in talks to buy WeWork London landmark".
If all this is not enough to convince you, consider that investment guru Warren Buffett is doubling down on the London property market, with Battersea, Fitzrovia and King's Cross (where Google is based) topping his wish list.
Some bankers are leaving the City, complaining about the regulatory framework and how it is affecting the competitive landscape: I continue to pay attention to these moans, given the importance of services to UK GDP, but banking trends and investment have shifted in importance, while bankers' net worth is much less relevant to London than tech-land's investment plans. I recently had a lunch meeting close to Google's HQ in London, and the place was buzzing, as opposed, lately, to the usual staid feeling of the Square Mile, which really has lost some sparkle in the past decade – although admittedly, in 2008 I was in the early, exciting years of my career just off Ludgate Hill in EC4, and nostalgia is certainly reflected in my disappointment .
