![]() ![]() That was soon followed with an order for Didi's app be removed from app stores.īeijing also said on Tuesday it would strengthen supervision of all Chinese firms listed offshore, a sweeping regulatory shift that triggered a sell-off in U.S.-listed Chinese stocks. It is the first Chinese firm known to have pulled back from IPO plans since China's cybersecurity regulator toughened its approach to oversight last week with an investigation into ride-hailing giant Didi Global Inc (DIDI.N) just two days after its New York debut. In addition to ride-sharing, Didi operates different businesses around mobility, including electric vehicle charging networks, fleet management, car making and autonomous driving.HONG KONG, July 8 (Reuters) - Chinese medical data group LinkDoc Technology Ltd (LDOC.O) has shelved plans for an IPO in the United States due to Beijing's clampdown on overseas listings by domestic firms, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the matter. Some of Asia's largest technology investment firms, including SoftBank Group Corp, Alibaba and Tencent, have also invested in Didi. firm currently owns 12.8% stake in Didi, according to the Chinese company's prospectus. In 2016, Uber Technologies Inc sold its operation to Didi in exchange for a 17.5% stake in the Chinese firm, which also made a $1 billion investment in Uber. It reached its dominant position in the online ride-hailing business in China after years-long subsidy wars with Alibaba-backed Kuaidi and Silicon Valley-based Uber's China unit, both of which were merged into Didi as investors grew tired of burning cash and demanded profits. In March, SAMR fined the registered firm behind Didi's community group-buying platform Chengxin Youxuan 1.5 million yuan ($233,656) along with another four firms, citing "improper pricing behaviour".ĭidi, the world's largest mobility-technology platform, operates in 15 countries and counts over 493 million annual active users globally, according to its prospectus. In April, SAMR imposed a $2.75 billion fine on Alibaba, a record for the agency. In recent months China has sought to curb the economic and social power of its once loosely regulated internet giants, a clampdown backed by President Xi Jinping. ![]() The company now employs about 13 million annual active drivers in China, according to its prospectus. One of the sources said Didi believed pricing and unfair competition would be viewed as relatively minor offences, which had given the company enough confidence to move ahead with plans for the IPO.ĭidi is also highlighting its creation of jobs to regulators, a key factor that could merit a more lenient attitude from Beijing, the source said. The impact of the probe on the company's IPO, expected to be the biggest Chinese IPO in New York since Alibaba's $25 billion float in 2014, remains to be seen. Two of the sources familiar with the situation said that the probe by the markets regulator was in the initial stages, and that the regulator was yet to give the company detailed instructions. It warned that regulatory bodies might not be satisfied with the inspection results and the firm may be subject to potential penalties. The companies were asked to identify and correct possible violations of antimonopoly, anti-unfair competition, tax and other related laws and regulations, Didi said in the filing.ĭidi said it had completed the self-inspection and the "relevant governmental authorities have conducted onsite inspections". The regulators asked the companies to conduct a "self-inspection" and submit compliance commitments, it said. In its IPO prospectus made public last week, Didi disclosed that it and more than 30 other Chinese internet companies had met with regulators, including the SAMR, in April. SAMR did not respond to requests for comment. "We do not comment on unsubstantiated speculation from unnamed source(s)," Didi said in an emailed statement. ![]() The regulator is also examining whether the pricing mechanism used by Didi's core ride-hailing business is transparent enough, the three sources said. ![]() ![]() ![]() Each capital ship has a pair of DDs attached to it - 4 fleets to start.

![]() ![]() Her forward tilt is her least useful tilt as it lacks follow-up options beyond very low percents. Both her up tilt and her down tilt have small hitboxes, but they are very good combo tools - up tilt is useful for getting her opponents into the air and also combos from her Heel Slide or into her Witch Twist, up aerial, or back aerial depending on the percentage, with up tilt into back air being a semi-reliable kill confirm while her down tilt is a good out-of-shield option and has combo potential. Her dash attack is also slow as it has a lot of startup lag, but it can also be a situational KO move. Her jab is slow, but her rapid jab finisher can KO at high percentages. ![]() She can also wall cling and wall jump.īayonetta's ground game is reliant on her tilt attacks to help set up intricate combos. ![]() They are a solid pressure tool, and because they are programmed as disjointed hitboxes, they are not classified as projectiles and thus cannot be reflected. She has a number of unique attributes, such as her Bullet Arts, which allow her to shoot from the guns on her hands and heels by keeping the button pressed down after an attack. Her damage output is somewhat low in isolation, but her extensive combo game makes up for this, as her combos can quickly and easily rack up damage. This gives her poor endurance, especially vertically, and average mobility.īayonetta's biggest strengths are her strong combo game - with her tilt attacks, forward aerial, up aerial, neutral aerial and special moves being capable of starting or extending combos - and her excellent recovery, which allows her to reach the stage from the bottom blast zone almost uncontestably, while being difficult to edgeguard due to her recovery's flexibility. She has a below average walking and air speed, average traction and dashing speed (with a decently fast initial dash), very fast air acceleration and fall speed, high gravity, and very high jumps.

If I make a 5GB movie and copy it to my desktop, then copy a backup to my NAS, 10GB has to be uploaded to CrashPlan. The problem, though, is that even though all of that data has already been uploaded to CrashPlan, it needs to be uploaded again from my NAS. However, I make backups religiously – using CrashPlan, of course, but I also have a Synology NAS where I keep copies of all of my data. Having multiple copies of the same large file on one computer is a waste of space. In any case, deduplication is a great feature in case I have more than one copy of a large file, or large group of files, on my computer – but I rarely do. Sometimes my data is a ton of smaller files, like pictures, but sometimes it’s a ton of gigantic files, like 20-minute uncompressed videos from my DSLR. I have a desktop with a ton of media files on it – all my family’s pictures, all of our home videos (converted from VHS), all of the multimedia projects I’ve worked on over the years, etc. I’d write more about how easy it is, but there’s really very little to write – for the most part, the basics just work. When someone calls me because they accidentally deleted a file, I can simply log in to the website and restore a file from their computer, and email it to them or put it in DropBox. You’ll get an email weekly by default that shows you the percentage of files backed up on the various computers on your account. The basics of CrashPlan are dead simple – install it, log in, and your stuff starts backing up. That being said, CrashPlan does appear to limit your upload speed – but more on that later Finally, I have my family’s computers – in total, there’s roughly 8TB on my account, and it didn’t cost me any more money than if I had 8GB, or 80TB. In addition, I have a virtualization server, whose VMs are also backed up to CrashPlan. ![]() My desktop has over 3TB on it, and my NAS, which backs up my desktop as well as holds my media files, has another 4TB. Backup Is UnlimitedĬrashPlan’s backup is unlimited. That’s incredibly cheap for the peace-of-mind that your data is always backed up, in real time. ![]() That includes my immediate family, significant other, my laptop, my desktop, and my servers.

![]() Of course, Salsano’s answer was a bit more complicated than either a simple “Yes” or “No.” As she sees it, the two stars have reached a point in their lives at which they are ready to settle down. However, when Salsano was asked whether the two stars are ready to settle down or not, she answered in the positive. Certainly, the track records of their predecessors don’t inspire much confidence in this matter. Reality TV being reality TV, it is perfectly understandable for interested individuals to wonder whether the two stars are actually ready to settle down or not. Salsano Says that the Stars Are Ready to Settle Down However, Salsano has nonetheless had a significant effect on those reality TV shows as well as reality TV as a whole, seeing as how she has been a pivotal figure behind a number of well-known examples. Generally speaking, her name shouldn’t be that well-known even to people who watch a lot of MTV’s reality TV shows. Current Show Being Handled By Sally Ann SalsanoĬurrently, Double Shot at Love is being handled by Sally Ann Salsano. Due to this, the people behind the show made a choice to edit out some of her more outrageous moments on the footage before dedicating one of the episodes to her memory out of respect for her and for her family. This was because Hutchinson was killed in a car accident not long after production finished up for the season. When the show was still centered on the Ikki Twins, one of the episodes was dedicated to one of the contestants named Kandi Hutchinson. One of the Episodes Was Dedicated to One of the Contestants However, they have had roles on other TV shows as well. Primarily, this meant A Double Shot for Love, which was named for them. The twins started out as models for Hooters calendars before going on to get more and more high-profile jobs, with the result that they eventually winded up becoming reality TV stars. In short, Erica and Victoria Mongeon are called thus because of their nicknames, which are Ikki and Vikki. There Were Episodes Starring the Ikki Twinsīetween Tila Tequila and the current stars, there were episodes centered on the so-called Ikki Twins. Instead, the latest season features 20 female contestants. ![]() However, this isn’t true for the latest season centered on Pauly D and Vinny Guadagnino. This theme was true for the follow-up season as well. Used to Be a Bisexual Dating Game Showīy this point, it should be clear that A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila was a bisexual-themed dating game show, meaning that there were both male and female participants for the show. ![]() Recently, Tila Tequila claimed that she was heterosexual by stating that her time on A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila was in her own words, being “gay for pay.” 3. After the show ended, she claimed that she was actually lesbian. At around the time of the show, she claimed that she was bisexual. Confusingly, Tila Tequila has claimed three different things at three different points. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the parent show was pretty fake, as shown by the whole controversy over whether Tila Tequila was actually bisexual or not. ![]() Nowadays, she tends to be better-known for being an antisemitic supporter of Adolph Hitler who spends her time with white nationalists in spite of the fact that she is Vietnamese-American. ![]() There was a time when the titular individual was relatively well-known as a TV personality as well as a social media personality. Spinoffĭouble Shot at Love is a spinoff of A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila, which was a dating game show that ran for a couple of seasons in the late 2000s. Here are 10 things that you may or may not have known about Double Shot At Love: 1. To be exact, it is a dating game show involving MTV’s reality TV stars, meaning that it might interest people who follow those reality TV shows. Double Shot at Love is a dating game show. ![]() ![]() Of course free services need ads, but this many? My god. Do you wanna USE THE VPN? BOOM, 30 second add! It's just absolutely preposterous. Do you wanna use a menu? BOOM, 30 second add. Do you wanna change a setting? BOOM, 30 second add. Let me put it this way: The amount of ads in this one application alone is SO IMMENSE that I am unable to even TURN THE VPN OFF without having to watch at least one 30 second add. I can't click a single thing without an ad popping up, and i'n NOT EXAGGERATING. Let me make something clear before I get into this review: The VPN side of this application is awesome! Fast, reliable, and most importantly, can be used for free! This is so far the best free VPN I've found, and because I use it so much I'm leaving this review in hopes the developers see it in order to make the app even better.Īnyways, the main point of this review is the amount of ads in this app is absolutely ludicrous. Hopefully my explanation helped clarify rather than confuse you.Īmazing free VPN. Who knew one might safely access a connection both domestically and/or overseas? Gone are the dreaded times when an important text or call goes undelivered! Now, if I’m in a dead zone with one bar, or data roaming is nowhere to be found, I have access to an infinite amount of Protocols. Why? So that nothing gets traced back to you.Īnd don’t worry, this isn’t some illegal piracy or anything like that. Plus, a new, auto-generated IP address is assigned to your phone each time you visit the app. It’s entirely safe-VPN’s whole schtick is privacy-in which case your identity, location, personal data is invisible to hackers. Does it require occasional trips to the app? Not really, unless you (for example) go thru a tunnel or commute to a location several towns over. You have nothing to lose and something to gain from it, which is rarely the case with ‘Free’ apps. Plus, the only time you have to watch a 12-sec Ad is while VPN finds a ‘Protocol’ (protocol is a term for the various internet towers VPN sources any connection from). For starters, it doesn’t drain your battery so it’s kind of a no-brainer, given the App is free. I neverdo reviews but since I always benefit from scouring thru app reviews from those of you who take the time to comment, I’m paying it forward.

There are several things to do right in town such as the famous Dutch Village Farmers Market. The close-knit community of Upper Marlboro just 20 miles from Washington DC is one of the oldest surviving colonial towns in the state. It's known for its three bodies of water right in town Federal Spring Branch, Western Branch The tungsten River, and School House Pond. It includes other areas such as Brock Hall, Marlboro Meadows, Marlboro Village and Marlton. Again, the town itself is very small but the surrounding greater area stretches out in several directions about 5 miles or so. The location in Prince George County is just 40 minutes east of Washington DC at the confluence of several major highways such as 202, 301, 4, Brown Station Road and Old Marlboro Pike Road. However, by 1893, the name stuck even though there has been proposed ballots over the years to change it back. Originally founded in 1706 as Marlborough Town, it was renamed in 1744 to Upper Marlborough and once again changed in the late 19th century to Upper Marlboro, probably named because a postal clerk felt that the last three letters did not properly fit on rubberstamps being used at the time. Upper Marlboro, officially called the Town of Upper Marlboro, is the county seat of Prince George County and the city limits is home to less than 700 residents although Greater Upper Marlboro is many times larger.
