「美國連登」Reddit估值升至100億美元，睇嚟就快IPO。

//Reddit, the online discussion forum whose users roiled US stock markets earlier this year, is experiencing its own valuation spike with a new financing round putting its worth at $10bn.

The financing, led by Fidelity Investments, lifts Reddit’s valuation by 67 per cent since its last round in February. The deal, which will provide the social media company with up to $700m in new funding, means it has more than tripled in value within two-and-a-half years. //

明天 #250萬劑 #莫德納 疫苗將抵達台灣

這一次是由 #美國 政府捐贈，除了先前三位美國參議員訪台時所宣布捐贈的75萬劑，再加上額外捐贈的175萬劑，總計 #250萬劑疫苗。

在危難時，可以看到朋友的真誠友誼。

這一次疫情，從開發疫苗到量產，是人類史上最快的速度，但是當我們看到成功開發的公司時，不要忘記，眾多投入大量資本、但是失敗的案例。比方說德國生技商CureVac新冠疫苗試驗失敗、默沙東放棄，法巴斯德研發疫苗被叫停，這些例子，都一再顯示，研發是極大的風險。 疫苗的研發、取得，到量產，從來都不是簡單的。

特別加上印度劇烈疫情，印度總理莫迪在三月中旬下令，禁止疫苗出口，這些都是難處。

從訂貨到到貨、皆需要時間，特別是剛量產、配發時，各國都需要爭取自己國家的國民健康福祉，競爭當然劇烈。仔細觀察，我國從去年就開始訂貨、到現在發貨，各國都只拿到一部分。

也正因為這些競爭，更讓我們知道，誰在危難中、願意伸一把手，在自己遇到困難，深受影響，還能不設條件，直接援助。

美國、日本，在我們遇到巨大的挑戰，毫不猶豫。

台灣上下，從民間、中央政府、各駐外辦事處，乃至一般企業到ＮＧＯ，上下一心，努力爭取疫苗。我們去年全民成功防堵疫情、並且在各國需要幫助時提供的衛生防護協助，今年，我們看到各國在我們需要協助時，也相繼幫助。

今天，我們已經看到曙光。我們真誠感謝美、日的協助，也誠摯希望，全國能夠一起協力，共同度過這個難關

台灣加油。

Tomorrow (Sunday 6/20), 2.5 million doses of the #Moderna COVID-19 #vaccine will arrive in #Taiwan. This batch of jabs has been generously donated by the #UnitedStates government.

While Senators Duckworth, Sullivan, and Coons initially announced a donation of 750,000 doses during their recent visit to Taipei, the donation has actually been tripled!

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

We are extremely grateful to our #allies in the United States for supporting our democratic archipelago in the time of need. #Democracies need to stand by one another.

An investment immigration law firm in Hong Kong says its number of clients has tripled in the past two years, as more and more young families consider leaving the city. The group observed surges in clients after the 2019 protests, the pandemic and the enactment of the national security law.

Hello!
Thanks for stopping by.

I am sure most of you have watched countless sourdough videos available out there, and most are mix by hand tutorials.

If you find joy in touching your dough and don’t mind the mess, well, good for you ??

But if you prefer a no-fuss and less messy way without compromising the end result, this recipe is for you!

See, I am impatient. I work a mentally demanding full time job, and when I make sourdough, I don’t like to fuss over them.

Normally, I maximise my yield for each batch by making 4-6 (sometimes 8!) loaves of sourdough, because making 1 or 10 loaves to me takes the same amount of preparation and effort.

Anyway, here’s the recipe.
Enjoy!

Ingredients:
300g Bob’s Artisan Bread Flour (or any high protein bread flour, at least 12-13% protein)
65g starter (tripled, use at peak)
233g water (room temperature)
6g Pink Himalayan Salt (or regular salt)

Method:
1. Autolyse 30 minutes
2. Add starter, mix, wait 15 minutes (I sometimes add salt together with starter when I am not in the mood and still get great results)
3. Add salt, mix, wait 15 minutes
4. Transfer to a bulking dish
5. Coil fold x 1
6. Coil fold x 2
7. Coil fold x 3
8. Coil fold x 4 - skip this step if your dough is strong
9. Leave to bulk
10. Total bulk 4 hours at 28C
11. Final shape
12. Cold retard overnight at 3C - make sure your fridge temperature no more than 3C!
13. Preheat oven at 250C, fan mode, for 1 hour
14. Bake at 250C, fan mode, for 35 minutes, lid close
15. And 250C, fan mode, for 5 minutes, lid off
16. Let bread cool completely before cutting, at least 1 hour

Notes:
Always begin with a strong and healthy starter.
Make sure your dough has increased 50% in size.
As beginners, I know it is very hard to determine if your dough has finished its bulk fermentation based on the look and feel, due to the lack of experience. I know that feeling very well, because I was once that lost, clueless beginner myself.
After tinkering with sourdough for about a year, I have come up with a rough timing guide for bulk fermentation based on room/kitchen temperature, well, sort of like a cheat sheet, so you can get the hang of sourdough bread making and get good results every time.

Remember, bulk fermentation starts when starter is mixed into the dough.

Hope this helps!
=========================================

28C = 4 hours
29C = 3 1/2 hours
30C = 3 hours
31C = 2 1/2 hours
