They didn’t even let him touch the rice at first, he told The Inquirer “Zama was someone you could joke around with but you still got that look if you did something wrong,” said Ramsey a 14-year Zama employee who worked at Pod when Tanaka was the sushi chef in the days the Penn Campus restaurant had a conveyor belt Even after Tanaka was promoted to executive chef following the departure of Michael Schulson Tanaka was a factor in bringing together the Lorns who met Tanaka at Pod in 2004 when she was starting out as a busser and barista “He was telling me I should be a server,” she said “But I was very afraid of the old Zama test [for servers] ‘Is there chocolate in the miso?’ Of course One of her early memories was a lunch shift at Pod when a fake nail broke and she mentioned that she needed glue Tanaka went across the street to the bookstore and returned with it They can’t look messy.’ It was at the time where chefs didn’t really talk to front-of-the-house Rachel Lorn looked up Tanaka after he opened Zama “I was a Cambodian kid in baggy pants,” Phila Lorn said He told me a lot of insider information about being an owner Everybody’s gonna take a pound of butter home if they need it or a sprig of thyme if they really need it but don’t fire them unless they steal money.’ And the average person would be like ‘What You’re giving allowance to criminal activity?’ It goes deeper than that It’s like if you see someone and you nurture them you have to be mature enough to look past certain things.” Tanaka attended the couple’s wedding in 2017 “he gave us our first gift,” Phila Lorn said the first thing you do is step on the mat that he customized for us we were like ‘what is this?’ We saw it was from him and he said Kevin Yanaga, who now co-owns Yanaga Kappo Izakaya in Northern Liberties Yanaga was sushi chef and Tanaka was a short-timer helping in the kitchen while preparing for the opening of Zama “He basically convinced me to work for him because I wanted to experience the opening of a restaurant from scratch,” Yanaga said you have to show respect to elders,” Yanaga said “He was a mentor to me: how to run the restaurant He taught me to take ownership of things and how you always have to think about how to deal with the guests other than what you think?’ is what he would ask.” When bartender-server Merci Lyons-Cox interviewed with Tanaka for a host’s job 13 years ago “I remember that they had corn dogs because that was his favorite food and I thought it was weird that they had corn dogs for staff meal at a Japanese restaurant.” Tanaka asked her what her favorite movies were and what directors she liked “Then we just talked about movies and that was the extent of our interview,” Lyons-Cox said Though there was no talk about movies or directors “we had a great conversation,” Weiler said “Just hearing about his passion for the business really opened my eyes ‘Wow this guy actually cares and that’s somebody I wanted to work for.” Weiler said the staff knew about the cancer diagnosis and the treatment “He got sick and went into the hospital for the last time but before that he was working up on the expo line talking to guests just trying to get back into the swing of things.” Weiler and Tanaka never talked about a formal succession “He would just want me to just keep doing what I was doing,” Weiler said “They want to keep doing what we do best,” Weiler said They loved him and they wanna keep doing what we’re doing here.” Executive Perspectives Special Report 2024 Deepwater Brazil Special Report 2024 Offshore Safety Systems & PPE Special Report 2024 Offshore Business Strategies Special Report 2024 Remote Inspections and Operations Special Report 2024 Talos Energy has agreed to sell an additional 30.1% interest in Talos Mexico to Zamajal a company co-owned by Grupo Carso and Control Empresarial de Capitale Talos will receive $49.7 million followed by a further $33 million once the Zama field offshore Mexico has produced first oil Talos Mexico (which has a 17.4% interest in Zama) will then be owned 20% by Talos Energy and 80% by Zamajal 43,000+ global companies doing business in the region 102,000+ key contacts related to companies and projects news and interviews about your industry in English South Africa — Sleeping next to decomposing corpses and surviving on a foul mixture of toothpaste mixed with toilet paper That's how an unknown number of unauthorized miners — believed to be in the hundreds — have been surviving for weeks over a mile deep underground in a disused mine shaft in the South African town of Stilfontein In South Africa, workers at illegal gold mines like these are known as "zama-zamas," meaning "one who takes a chance" in the Zulu language Over the past several weeks, the zama-zamas at Stilfontein have been locked in a standoff with police who surrounded the entrance to the mine shaft and blocked off their food supplies in an attempt — in the words of one cabinet minister — to "smoke them out." Police say the miners are refusing to resurface because they fear arrest and for many who are migrants from neighboring countries says that even if the miners do want to come up as their colleagues who usually remain above ground to pull the ropes that bring them up have been arrested those below are also starving and too weak "We sent a former zama-zama underground," Botman told NPR "He found people are sleeping next to dead bodies They don't have strength and they are ready to resurface." mixing it with vinegar and salt in the palm of their hand Rights groups outraged at the police's tactics went to court over the weekend which ruled the police must allow food and supplies down the hole to keep the miners alive have also asked for their antiretroviral drugs to be sent down Community members have been the only ones trying to bring the zama-zamas to the surface over the past two weeks and Botman says 50 men pulling on a makeshift rope have brought up 12 people Authorities have now decided to take over and stage a rescue mission and a task team is currently constructing an unmanned cage to send down the hole that will bring eight people up at a time But that's only expected to be ready to use next week things in the dark and dangerous warren of tunnels that lie beneath the abandoned gold mine have become nightmarish Botman says one zama-zama he helped to bring up recounted how another miner had tried to murder him for food "One of them came out with a wound on his head and explained that somebody tried to strangle him underground for a scoop of porridge," he says South Africa experienced a gold rush in the 1880s with prospectors coming from all over to try their luck in Africa's very own wild west The economic hub Johannesburg was known as "egoli," meaning "city of gold," and for a long time South Africa was the world's biggest gold producer while the country still has large gold deposits it has become increasingly expensive and difficult to mine and many large mining conglomerates have shut down operations causing miners to lose their jobs Some of these unemployed miners have turned to illegal mining at the abandoned sites Zimbabwe and Mozambique and are incredibly impoverished eking out a living while risking life and limb in tunnels that could collapse They also face exposure to dangerous underground gases David Van Wyk, a researcher with the Bench Marks Foundation an NGO that works on issues surrounding illegal miners told NPR there are some 6,000 abandoned mines in South Africa "It's basically a free-for-all that has evolved and that has resulted in [illegal] mine workers becoming super exploited … and the police never arrest the mining syndicates that control them," Van Wyk says the criminal kingpins are getting rich off illegally mined gold "We have recommended to government that they regulate small-scale and artisanal mining and that they make these operations legal "Everyone is profiting from it except the poor guys who find themselves starved underground." Zama-zamas have been a problem in South Africa for years but recently the government promised to crack down President Cyril Ramaphosa weighed in earlier this week on the police action at Stilfontein "The Stilfontein mine is a crime scene where the offense of illegal mining is being committed It is standard police practice everywhere to secure a crime scene and to block off escape routes that enable criminals to evade arrest," he said in a statement "Some illegal miners have been implicated in serious and violent crimes Illicit mining activity costs our economy billions of Rands in lost export income Some in the mining industry have likened the situation to a war zone and zama-zamas are widely unpopular with locals Numerous South Africans have been posting on social media that they are in support of the police action in Stilfontein community leader Botman says he can "attest to the economic benefit" from the zama-zamas in his area which he says now has new shops and a KFC restaurant "because of them." A whole industry has developed around zama-zamas to supply the men with food alcohol and even prostitutes while they're underground The zama-zamas in Stilfontein now face another weekend down the disused shaft head of a power group of South African trade unions has warned the government it risked being responsible for "murder." He said the rescue efforts were taking too long to get underway and said he was worried the miners would be "subjected to a slow death." Become an NPR sponsor South Africa —They look like the walking dead They blink like moles in the harsh South African sunlight Operations to rescue hundreds of illegal miners at an abandoned gold mine in Stilfontein a small mining town about 100 miles Southwest of Johannesburg started Monday and ended Thursday when rescuers said there was no longer anyone left in the shaft In total during the rescue operation, 246 illegal gold miners were brought to the surface alive Known here as "zama zamas" or "those who take a chance" in Zulu, the illegal miners have been underground for months with their condition deteriorating rapidly after police cut off their food and water supplies in November as part of Operation "Vala Umgodi," or "close the hole." The authorities said this was done to get them to resurface or as one minister put it "smoke them out," so that they could be arrested police said they were in a standoff with the illegal miners who were refusing to come up of their own accord because they feared arrest community activists and trade unions said the men had become too emaciated and weak to make the hazardous 2-kilometer climb up the mineshaft back to the surface even if they wanted to Earlier this month a mine workers union shared videos taken underground of how dire the situation had become Another video showed how the miners were living among dozens of corpses several zama zamas who had resurfaced since the police operation started shared harrowing details about life underground with people eating cockroaches or surviving on toothpaste for sustenance a local community leader who has been at the abandoned mine for more than two months organizing getting supplies down to the illegal miners pulls no punches in his criticism of the government Standing at the dirt road leading down to the rescue site in Stilfontein where ambulances waited for survivors and people in hazmat suits handled bodies "We're not going to celebrate and give accolades and say thank you to the government," he told NPR "We started communicating with the government before there was even a single fatality…but they had to wait until people started dying." Near the enormous hole leading to the disused mineshaft specialized machinery was used to lower a cage down to bring up the men and the bodies It can bring up about seven people at a time and takes around an hour per rotation so it was left to ordinary volunteers from the local township to undertake the devastating task whose 26-year-old brother has been underground since July has been advocating for government help for months After several organizations went to court to try and force the government to relent she eventually brought the final court case that saw the rescue operation ordered this month "Our government only knows that you are human beings when it needs votes." He had looked for work unsuccessfully she said and was driven by desperation to eke out a dangerous living deep underground She has been outside the rescue site day after day along with a small but vocal group of family and community members singing protest songs and holding signs reading "#Black Lives Matter" and "Every Life Counts Many here think the fact that most of the Stilfontein zama zamas are Mozambicans and Zimbabweans has played a big part in the government's attitude many ordinary South Africans have been unmoved by their plight with countless comments on social media platforms saying they should be left to die Anti-immigrant sentiment is high in South Africa where migrants are often used as scapegoats for other problems Youth unemployment in South Africa is at over 45 percent Stilfontein is a microcosm of the post-apartheid government's failure to better the lives of many poor black people but the landscape is pockmarked with large mine dumps South Africa was once the world's largest gold producer but large-scale industrial mining became unprofitable and many mines have closed sitting having a midmorning drink at a tavern in the nearby dusty township of Khuma but recently most of the mines have closed down so the local economy is suffering a lot," he told NPR Sehebeng says he feels sympathy for the men who take up the life of the zama zama There are thousands of abandoned mine shafts where they can search for a tiny fraction of the gold that made this country rich The government has long vowed to get tough on illegal mining which they say cost the South African economy 60 billion rand ($3 billion) in 2024 They say the zama zamas are sometimes violent criminals who terrorize their communities But experts on illegal mining say there are different hierarchies in the zama zama-world; the heavily armed gang leaders who run operations and the ordinary men who risk life and limb underground for a pittance more than two months after news of the crisis at Stilfontein had emerged the Pretoria High Court ordered the government to launch a rescue operation "We do not want a situation where this will be marked as the darkest point in our history," the judge said in his ruling But by the time the rescue operations ended on Thursday Stilfontein might indeed prove one of the darkest episodes of South Africa's post-apartheid era While one party in South Africa's coalition government has belatedly condemned what's taken place at Stilfontein members of the largest party in government I can't be your partner," Minister of Minerals and Energy Gwede Mantashe told a press briefing on Tuesday at the mine site After the press briefing Mantashe and police minister Senzo Mchunu walked up the road to address furious families and protesters But they were shouted down and chased away quickly clambering into awaiting black BMWs and being driven off The rescued illegal miners will all now face prosecution and police said Thursday they had also arrested some of the Zama Zama kingpins Meanwhile the government faces a reckoning with some civic groups calling for a commission of inquiry or even for murder charges to be brought against the state the police have vowed Operation Vala Umgodi will continue the daunting task of identifying the almost 80 bodies also begins "The only thing that we're appreciating is that at least the families will get the opportunity to bury their loved ones," says community leader Mzukisi Jam Whether they even get to do that is still to be seen NPR spoke to a forensic pathology officer onsite at the morgue at a hospital in the nearby town of Klerksdorp who did not want to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media with about thirty dead zama zamas awaiting forensic investigation He added that many were in a bad state of decomposition because it had been so hot down the mine shaft with a bleak foreshadowing of what was to come had written their names and the phone numbers of family members – on their chests 43,000+ global companies doing business in the region.

The Zama team told Cointelegraph: “While Web3 privacy has seen many innovations like consensus Some ZK solutions improve privacy but sacrifice blockchain composability,” they said adding that fhEVM was created to solve this Key innovations include encrypted data that remains processable while maintaining blockchain composability and programmable privacy controls The system also provides performance improvements, such as around 20 transactions per second (TPS) with potential future scaling to hundreds or thousands of TPS The fhEVM Coprocessor uses a technology called Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) which enables the processing of encrypted data without decrypting it This simplifies privacy-preserving blockchain applications and enables developers to build decentralized apps (DApps) with enhanced privacy without needing deep cryptographic expertise “We believe FHE will enable a new internet protocol “Developers building confidential DApps often face steep hurdles such as learning unfamiliar programming languages designing ‘circuits,’ and dealing with slow resource-heavy computations,” the team said they can start building confidential smart contracts right away.”

‘China’s MicroStrategy’ Meitu sells all its Bitcoin and Ethereum: Asia Express Optalysys, a secure computing startup, has partnered with open source crypto company Zama.The purpose of this development is to advance the development of Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) quantum-resilient cryptography method that allows encrypted data to be processed without ever needing to be decrypted It allows organisations to process data whilst maintaining privacy opening up opportunities for safe collaboration across industries The partnership will see the integration of Zama’s FHE solution with Optalysys’ hardware acceleration product range to expedite FHE adoption for its customers The partnership aims to bridge the gap in FHE adoption by addressing its historically high computational demands Zama’s software solutions include encrypted machine learning and advanced confidentiality in blockchain smart contracts Current cybersecurity solutions have significant limitations in protecting data in use which is why the adoption of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) such as FHE are fundamental for companies in protecting sensitive data CEO Dr Nick New said: “Our partnership with Zama is a significant step for us as we continue to accelerate the development of FHE scaling FHE applications has been a challenge due to its demand for specialist infrastructure and computing power Our work with Zama aims to overcome this barrier and enable us to develop this revolutionary technology at a rapid pace.” our mission is to equip developers with the best FHE tools — tools that are easy to use Our collaboration with Optalysys is an exciting step toward making FHE faster a crucial milestone in our journey to make this technology ubiquitous “We believe that this acceleration benefits machine learning applications and is equally transformative in the blockchain space where FHE has the unique ability to resolve the long-standing tension between transparency and confidentiality unlocking new possibilities for privacy-preserving innovation onchain."  Fourth in a series of DODEA-Pacific high school football previews Japan – After a 14-game winning streak and just missing in last October’s Far East Division II football final Zama finds itself pretty much starting over The Trojans’ roster as of Monday’s practice contained just 24 names And they face their earliest road trip in recent memory “We’re going to have to adjust what we do to the personnel we have,” coach Scott Bolin said of a relatively young group that may need some time to master the intricacies of Bolin’s spread run-pass option attack “We might have to emphasize some things more than others,” Bolin said “It’s a matter of how much they can handle and how much they can execute well.” but they’ll be replacing several key faces who led Zama to its seventh Far East D-II championship game appearance Adrian Santiago-Cruz takes over at quarterback from Will Schmiedel has the tough task of filling the shoes of receivers Jeremiah Georges and Keahnu Araki senior linebacker Ayden Moore and junior offensive lineman Jacob Van Sickle “Some key positions are still filled,” Bolin said It’s a question of how well that knowledge and experience can be spread throughout the team The Trojans do get a couple of bye weeks following the trip to Misawa to evaluate how they did against the Eagles “we can make the playoffs,” Bolin said of the D-II semifinals scheduled the weekend of Oct But getting to the championship game scheduled for Oct lost in D-II final 14-0 to American School

in the Panthers “If you don’t have backups who can step up that can be a big problem,” Woodworth said “Just not a lot of offense and no protection for the quarterback who had 60 yards on 12 carries and was 3-for-7 passing for 107 yards passing ran 2 yards for a touchdown and Camdyn Campbell added a two-point conversion for Yokota Zama’s Isaiah Segarra scored from 6 yards out; he finished with 75 yards on 10 attempts Jones also caught a 10-yard scoring pass from freshman Sky Gaines and Geovanni Joell rushed for a 2-yard TD Jay Douglas provided Yokota’s lone second-half points on a 6-yard touchdown run Kicoh Guenther caught all three Yokota completions Zach Nelson had a fumble recovery and an interception Campbell also had an interception and Brailyn Ivey and Mark Segura one sack each for the Panthers “If the season plays out the way I think it might I fully expect to see them (Yokota) again,” Bolin said Camp Zama – The Camp Zama Exchange is saluting our Nation’s youngest heroes in

Friday at Yokosuka’s Berkey Field Senior quarterback Arashi Blocton led the way rushing for touchdowns of 1 and 16 yards and throwing a 10-yard scoring pass to Jesse Brooks for the Red Devils But the fact that both teams got to play virtually their entire rosters in a game that meant nothing in the Far East divisional playoff chases “We dressed the entire team and this allowed us to play all these kids for homecoming,” Kinnick coach Daniel Joley said Derek Ulrich rushed 62 yards for a touchdown Koboyo Awesso booted a 45-yard field goal and the Red Devils scored two safeties on defense The Trojans’ lone points came in the second half on a 56-yard touchdown pass from Adrian Santiago-Cruz to Garrett Allen “This was exactly what we needed,” Trojans coach Scott Bolin said “This was good to

Zama and Guam High capped their respective cheerleading seasons by bringing home team banners in last week’s Far East clinic and competition at Yokota Air Base, Japan. Led by six veterans who helped the Trojans to the Division II title last year, Zama repeated as small-schools champion, winning the D-II banner for the third time. The Trojans also won the D-I title in 1989. The Panthers captured the Division I title four years ago, but that was during the coronavirus pandemic, when all such competitions were done virtually. This time, they did it in person at Yokota High School. “I think this one was even more special because we added new skills for our two returning flyers, and new goals, so it’s rewarding to see the hard work pay off,” Trojans coach Lyndsay Morrison said. While the Trojans brought a wealth of returning experience, Zama also faced challenges this season, Morrison said – two seniors graduated from last year’s team and one of its main bases transferred. “Our six experienced returners led the way with the confidence and experience needed to guide us through,” Morrison said of Kaylie Brown and Yerianys Padin Caro, each four-year Trojans veterans. “They were key to maintaining our team’s momentum and spirit” as well as being part of Zama’s all-girl stunt team that took that first-place award for the first time, Morrison said. Lea Rolland stepped up as the team’s lead tumbler and point dancer. “This year, despite the changes and challenges, I believe it was our team’s resilience and commitment that led us to victory,” Morrison said. “And we look forward to even greater achievements ahead.” The Panthers sent a relatively new team to Yokota, following their second-place finish a year ago. None of the Panthers were part of the team that won virtually, coach Alayna Rennie said. “Three of the kids this year were there (in 2024), so six of the nine I brought this year had never competed before,” Rennie said. They were led by Jensen Flahaut, who was named to the All-Far East team and took the D-I Best Tumbler award. It was sort of now-or-never for the Panthers, who lose one senior and two PCS-ing juniors after this year, “so they were extra glad they got to win it before they were done at Guam High,” Rennie said. Also assisting the Panthers to the title were Ava Shuman, Hayden Buck, Vienna Ryan, Amielle Atohoun, Klara Sander, Aundrea Ching, Daisy Cutshaw and Milana Pipoly. Division I standings: 1.
