Scorched specializes in smoked meats: pork, beef and even chicken. As we stay home and/or work from home, we can’t help but miss restaurant food. Sure, nothing can beat home-cooked food, but once in a while—or maybe several times a week—we still crave food that we can’t exactly replicate at home. Like smoked ribs. That is why I was so happy when my friend, let’s call her Madame M, sent over a kilo of ready-to-heat smoked ribs. It was fall-off-the-bone tender and very tasty that I made a mental note to find out more about the restaurant that it came from. The pretty white box that the ribs came in was labeled Scorched. Apparently, it is a new restaurant. They just opened in 2019 at an obscure food hall of sorts near UST. Just last March, they opened their second branch in SM Center Las Piñas.

SINGAPORE - A study of the management boards of charities has found that greater diversity of board members shows better financial performance for the charity. The study by Conjunct Consulting, a charity which provides consultancy services to charities and social enterprises, collected data on the board composition and financial performance metrics of 204 Institutions of a Public Character (IPC).

It did the study, as there were none done on board diversity and organisational performance of charities here, said Conjunct's executive director Yasmine Tan. The study focused on financial indicators, as IPCs span a range of sectors from the arts to social services to sports and it is hard to find other common indicators to measure organisational performance or impact. Ms Tan said: "As board members are tasked with the crucial role of guiding the charity's strategy and direction, we believe it is imperative for ... » Learn More about Greater diversity on charity management boards associated with better financial performance: Study

PHNOM PENH (Reuters) - Cambodia called on U.S. media group VICE to withdraw an article featuring newly colourised photos of the Khmer Rouge "killing fields" victims, saying the images were an insult to the dead because some mugshots had been altered to add smiles. At 1200 GMT on Sunday, the article later was no longer available on the VICE.com website. In the article published on Friday, artist Matt Loughrey said his project to colourise images from the notorious Tuol Sleng prison, or S-21, aimed to humanise the 14,000 Cambodians executed and tortured there. However, the article caused a backlash on social media after comparisons with the original black-and-white photos showed that some subjects were smiling only in Loughrey's colour images. The VICE article did not contain the original images. "To play around by using technology to put make-up on the victims of S21 ... is a very grave insult to the souls of the victims of #genocide," exiled Cambodian politician Mu Sochua ... » Learn More about Cambodia condemns VICE for images by artist who added smiles to Khmer Rouge victims
