Shojin Chef Daisuke Nomura Unveils Original Menu of Tapas with European Olive Oils

A surprising bond between the Mediterranean Diet and Washoku

TOKYO, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In this third year of the Olive Oil World Tour to promote European olive oil, Olive Oils from Spain (https://oliveoilworldtour.jp/) appointed Daisuke Nomura, owner-chef of Shojin Sougo, a shojin cuisine (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) restaurant in

A surprising bond between the Mediterranean Diet and Washoku

TOKYO, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — In this third year of the Olive Oil World Tour to promote European olive oil, Olive Oils from Spain (https://oliveoilworldtour.jp/) appointed Daisuke Nomura, owner-chef of Shojin Sougo, a shojin cuisine (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) restaurant in Tokyo’s Roppongi district, as campaign ambassador (http://www.sougo.tokyo/). Nomura has recently conceived an original tapas menu that combines washoku (Japanese cuisine) with the Mediterranean diet, where olive oil plays a central part:

  • Marinated Broccoli Served with Unohana (Soybean Pulp)

Features boiled broccoli marinated in a mix of kelp stock, salt and extra virgin Olive Oil from Spain to achieve a fruity aroma that’s not usually associated with the Japanese cuisine, as well as Okara (soybean pulp), a good quality source of protein that Japan is proud of. Okara is seasoned with a sweet and sour sauce to create a refreshing, salad-style dish.

  • Domyoji Olive Rice Croquette

Uses Domyoji rice flour to create the crispy but glutinous texture. The croquette has a whole olive inside which, when cooked, releases the perfect amount of salty flavor into the mouth, complementing the flavor of Domyoji dough fried in olive oil.

The Mediterranean diet and washoku were inscribed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage in November 2010 and December 2013, respectively. Mediterranean cuisine has been widely acclaimed for being served at a table where diners talk and have an enjoyable, relaxing time while eating. Washoku, meanwhile, was inscribed for being a traditional social custom that has been passed down over generations. The Mediterranean diet is characterized by plentiful portions of whole grains and cereals, seasonal fruits and vegetables, beans, and nuts. Rather than meat, fish is a customarily consumed dish. The food also contains plenty of olive oil and involves little consumption of the saturated fatty acids that lead to the obesity and lifestyle diseases associated with a heavy intake of meat-based oils.

Commenting on his new corroboration menu, Nomura said, «I inspired by tapas that I ate in bars in Spain, which were all beautiful and vivid in the eyes, and incorporated the idea into my shojin dishes. I’m particularly attracted to Spanish olive oil’s ability to add flavor. Enjoy adding to and replacing flavors using olive oil at home to discover new ways to pair olive oil with your daily Japanese dishes. You will be surprised how easy it is to create really delicious fusion dishes.»

Nomura’s recipes will be presented at the Olive Oil World Tour’s official campaign site.

Blockchain Based eSports Platform BitSport Announces First Ever Gaming DeFi, Presale and Listings on Uniswap and Hotbit Exchange

LONDON, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The BitSport BFI token presale will offer a great opportunity for investors to sponsor entire tournaments, back individual esports players in tournaments and as well sponsor talented gamers on its newly rolled out DeFi application on BitSport.

According to NewZoo, the world’s 2.7 billion gamers will spend

LONDON, Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The BitSport BFI token presale will offer a great opportunity for investors to sponsor entire tournaments, back individual esports players in tournaments and as well sponsor talented gamers on its newly rolled out DeFi application on BitSport.

According to NewZoo, the world’s 2.7 billion gamers will spend $159.3 billion on games in 2020, with the market set to surpass $200 Billion by 2023. With consistent handcore gamer activity and rising numbers of new casual gamers brought on by Covid-19, more people are spending their time and money on competitive gaming activities. Additionally, the decrease in real-life sports betting due to various global restrictions has further increased interest in the eSports market.

BitSport

BitSport is an eSports leader who is trying to balance out this lop-sided system. BitSport’s eSport platform is a decentralized, social gaming ecosystem aiming to offer a huge opportunity for any players wanting to monetize their gaming skills, expertise, or time.

CEO Quote (taken from this content)

«BitSport is one of the first ever Peer to Peer Blockchain driven competitive eSports platforms opening up several monetization avenues for Gaming and eSports in a competitive and decentralized fashion.»

P2P Challenges and Matches

BitSport P2P Challenges enable users to monetize their eSports game skills by creating a challenge or accepting challenges from other global users while staking BTP tokens. BitSport’s smart contract escrow ensures transparency, in addition to fair resolutions of any potential game disputes. BitSport P2P matches are designed to financially benefit professional gamers, while simultaneously growing the community by allowing anyone to back or support the top players and tournaments.

BitSport Tournaments And Sponsorship

BitSport will be hosting four seasonal tournaments, over four different continents each year (chosen by the BitPlay community). Designed to bring together competitive gamers and eSports enthusiasts around the world, the BitSport powered tournaments will be streamed and broadcasted on popular and prominent platforms to millions of viewers around the world. The tournament qualifiers will be organized and played in the first two weeks of every new quarter.

Anyone can sponsor a tournament on BitSport to earn passive returns. Each tournament creates with it a smart contract fund where any user can stake stablecoins (DAI, USDT, USDC) to farm BFI token rewards, which can be claimed at any time. Stakeholders can even pool their collective funds to sponsor a BitSport user, allowing access to liquidity, while winning profits are distributed at a predetermined ratio amongst sponsorship pool participants and the gamer.

BitSport Meets DeFi

The platform enables anyone to be a part of the DeFi wave and earn from sponsoring players, events, and tournaments. Users of the platform can sponsor their favourite eSports player, by staking native BFI tokens, or stable coins (like DAI and USDT) in a pool with other platform users to farm more BFI. Sponsoring extends far beyond the player on BitSport though. Users can back specific tournaments and challenges with others to farm both BFI and BTP tokens.

To further collaborate with DeFi users and create greater access to BFI tokens, BitSport have enabled automatic swaps on DeFi token swap platforms for stable coins such as DAI, USDT and USDC. By increasing interoperability and access to all of these digital currencies BitSport aims to grow its ecosystem, community, and increase synergy with DeFi token users and gamers alike.

BitSport will create a bigger market for its token and increased interest by aligning with DeFi users and investors. BFI can be used by anyone to:

  • Sponsor players on the platform, which will secure investors a cut of the shared revenue pool when those sponsored players win an event or tournament.
  • To sponsor the tournaments and events themselves to farm more BFI and BTP tokens.

BFI Token Presale

The BFI token presale starts at 1:00PM UTC on 10th of December with 57,000 tokens minted in total, and only 20,000 of those tokens available in the presale. With this very limited supply and numerous ways for users to make easy returns on the platform, BFI may sell out before the end of the sale on the 23rd of December. 

The initial 20,000 BFI for pre-sale is also being sold at a 10% price drop from listing price, and with listings announced the day after the presale completion on leading exchanges Uniswap and HotBit there is a good chance that the BFI token will prove very popular to investors. To join the presale users can connect with any of the following wallets:

  • MetaMask
  • BinaceWallet
  • WalletConnect
  • Coinbase
  • Ledger
  • Trezor

Take part in the BitSport presale today and secure some of the 20,000 BFI tokens available before they sell out.

As a two-truck team it’s really cool they have one truck win the Baja 500 and the other win the Baja 1000 as well as the series championship. We’ve also had seven consecutive Podium Finishes in the 83 truck,» said, Luke McMillin, driver of the #83 Trophy Truck.

«We are honored to have Dan and Luke McMillan represent the 4 Wheel Parts brand and a huge congrats from our entire team for their incredible 2020 racing season,» said Joey DiGiovanni, 4WP Director of Creative Marketing and Partnerships. «We’re thrilled to see the momentum they’ve built up over the past year and can’t wait to see them dominate in 2021!»

CarMD 2020 Vehicle Health Index Finds Mitsubishi Least Likely to Need Check Engine Light Repairs, Kia Most Affordable When Repairs are Needed

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CarMD.com Corporation today released its 2020 CarMD® Vehicle Health Index™ Make and Model Reliability Rankings, continuing its decade-long tradition of analyzing and reporting on which model year 1996 to 2020 vehicles require the fewest check engine light repairs and which cost least to fix when they do need repairs.

IRVINE, Calif., Dec. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CarMD.com Corporation today released its 2020 CarMD® Vehicle Health Index™ Make and Model Reliability Rankings, continuing its decade-long tradition of analyzing and reporting on which model year 1996 to 2020 vehicles require the fewest check engine light repairs and which cost least to fix when they do need repairs. CarMD studies the vehicle population dating back to 1996 because that is when vehicles were first required to have an on-board computer that triggers the check engine light to alert the driver to a problem that impacts emissions output, fuel economy and drivability.

CarMD finds that Mitsubishi was the brand least likely to need check engine repairs over the past year, edging out Mercedes and Volkswagen, which rank no. 2 and no. 3 respectively. The 2018 Toyota Tacoma ranked as the vehicle least likely to need a check engine light repair; and the 2018, 2017 and 2016 Tacoma swept the category for trucks least likely to need repairs in 2020. While CarMD does not currently rank the vehicles most likely to have a check engine light problem, Vehicle Health Index calculations show that the 2018 Toyota Tacoma is more than 50% less likely to experience a check engine light issue than the worst ranked vehicle, which is a 2009 domestic SUV.

For the second consecutive year, Kia is the brand with the lowest average repair cost ($322), followed closely by Chrysler ($333) and Mazda ($339). The 2018 Hyundai Tucson cost the least on average ($34) to repair. Ford, GMC, Mazda and Volkswagen are the brands to rank in the top 10 on both lists this year, meaning they have both low frequency of check engine light incidents and low average repair costs.

«Having a reliable vehicle to drive and reducing the likelihood of costly car repairs is particularly important as we wrap up 2020 – a year that has brought many challenges,» said David Rich, CarMD’s technical director. «CarMD publishes this annual report to help vehicle owners and used car shoppers make better informed buying and service decisions, and to encourage drivers to seek repairs when the check engine light comes on.» Rich notes that when used in conjunction with other solutions such as CarMD PRO SCAN, the CarMD Vehicle Health Index reports can help repair shops educate customers about upcoming repair needs.   

10 Most Reliable Brands Least Likely to Have a Check Engine Light Come On

CarMD studied data from more than 19.5 million unique model year 1996 to 2020 vehicles reporting check engine health to identify the brands least likely to need check engine repairs. To rank these brands, CarMD developed an Index frequency score formulated by the lowest percentage of repair incidents per percentage of vehicle population. From this data, CarMD found the following brands were least likely to need a check engine repair over the past year.

  1. Mitsubishi
  2. Mercedes
  3. Volkswagen
  4. Buick
  5. Ford
  6. Mazda
  7. BMW
  8. GMC
  9. Subaru
  10. Cadillac

10 Brands with the Lowest Average Repair Costs

When factoring in all of the repairs needed on the various models and model years under each automaker, CarMD found the 10 vehicle brands with the lowest average check engine light-related repair costs in 2020 were:   

  1. Kia ($322.43)
  2. Chrysler ($332.83)
  3. Mazda ($339.35)
  4. Hyundai ($352.41)
  5. Dodge ($355.92)
  6. Jeep ($359.13)
  7. Chevrolet ($375.78)
  8. Ford ($381.63)
  9. GMC ($384.40)
  10. Volkswagen ($413.06)

10 Most Reliable Vehicles Least Likely to Have a Check Engine Light Come On

Any given brand can have a mix of reliable vehicle models along with some that have more frequent issues. And vehicle reliability can vary by model year, particularly when a model change has occurred. For this reason, the CarMD Vehicle Health Index drills down to rank vehicles by year, make and model. The following 10 vehicles had the lowest check engine light-related repair frequency, resulting in fewer trips to the repair shop, parts store or dealership in 2020:

  1. 2018 Toyota Tacoma
  2. 2015 Honda CR-V
  3. 2018 Toyota Camry
  4. 2017 Honda Accord
  5. 2017 Toyota Tacoma
  6. 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport
  7. 2014 Honda CR-V
  8. 2017 Ford Explorer
  9. 2018 Nissan Rogue
  10. 2016 Toyota Tacoma

10 Vehicles with the Lowest Average Repair Costs

When the check engine light comes on, the following are the 10 vehicles that CarMD found to have the lowest average repair cost among the more than 10,145 different model year, make and model vehicles analyzed by CarMD. Many of these repairs come in under the average national hourly labor rate for automotive diagnostics and repair because they require simple fixes that can be done in less than an hour or at home by a skilled enthusiast:

  1. 2018 Hyundai Tucson ($33.80)
  2. 2019 Subaru Impreza ($37.74)
  3. 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE ($39.79)
  4. 2017 Mitsubishi Mirage ($57.14)
  5. 2018 Kia Soul ($69.69)
  6. 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport ($72.56)
  7. 2019 Honda HR-V ($73.45)
  8. 2017 Hyundai Tucson ($75.35)
  9. 2018 Subaru Legacy ($78.09)
  10. 2017 Subaru Legacy ($79.93)

The most common repair on 9 out of 10 of the most affordable vehicles to fix is to inspect or replace a loose, damaged or missing gas cap or fuel cap gasket. An often quick, easy and affordable repair, if ignored fuel cap problems can reduce fuel economy and lead to additional problems down the road. For instance, the most common repair on the 2018 Hyundai Tucson is to tighten the gas cap, accounting for nearly half of this model year’s recommended repairs, while the national average for gas cap-related repairs is 4.5%. On an older 2005 Hyundai Tucson, the most common repairs are oxygen sensor and catalytic converter replacements. As vehicles age, the type of repair changes and the average cost to repair them typically increases.

This Index ranks the 10 brands/makes and 100 vehicles least likely to have a check engine light on; 10 brands/makes and 100 vehicles with the lowest average repair costs; and top three vehicles by category. To compile this index CarMD analyzed data from over 19.5 million model year 1996 to 2020 vehicles reporting check engine health from Oct. 1, 2019 – Sept.  30, 2020.
