Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro Awarded Two Stars in the First Edition of the Michelin Guide Singapore

SINGAPORE /PRNewswire/ — Mandarin Orchard Singapore’s eponymous Szechwan restaurant, Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro, has been awarded two stars in the Michelin Guide Singapore 2016 — Singapore’s first-ever list of Michelin hotels and restaurants. The accolade makes Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro the highest Michelin-rated Chinese restaurant island-wide.

“We are beyond thrilled and grateful to join the exclusive ranks of the world’s finest dining establishments,” said Executive Chef Chen Kentaro. “When we launched the restaurant in 2014, we knew it was imperative we go the extra mile to stand out in the wonderfully diverse culinary scene of Singapore. To now receive this highly coveted distinction by Michelin is an honour that inspires us even more to keep pushing our boundaries.”

“I share this accomplishment with the teams at Shisen Hanten and Mandarin Orchard Singapore, and more importantly with our guests who have been most generous in their support,” added Chef Kentaro.

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro is the product of a proud culinary legacy that began with the founding of Japan’s first Szechwan restaurant in 1958 by Chen Kenmin, regarded as the “Father of Szechwan cuisine in Japan.”

Carrying on the family tradition is his eldest son, Chen Kenichi, nicknamed the “Szechwan Sage” and acclaimed as one of Japan’s most celebrated Iron Chefs. It was Chen Kenichi that expanded the family business, branching out across Japan and imbuing his personal touch to the menu offerings of Shisen Hanten.

Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro is the brand’s first foray outside of Japan, helmed by third-generation Chen Kentaro. Himself a rising culinary star in Japan, Chef Kentaro meticulously articulates his mastery of Szechwan cuisine through creative menus that incorporate the freshest of seasonal ingredients to celebrate the signature flavours of Shisen Hanten.

The most popular item on the menu is Chen’s Mapo Doufu, an original Chen family recipe using doubanjiang (chilli broad bean paste) that is fermented over three years. The end result is an extraordinarily soft and silky tofu dish that is best enjoyed when deliciously paired with a bowl of fragrant Hokkaido rice. Other must-try dishes are Chen’s Original Spicy Noodle Soup; Stewed Fish Fillet in Super Spicy Szechwan Pepper Sauce; and Sautéed Szechwan Chilli Pepper and Chicken.

To suit the milder palate, the level of spiciness of fiery Szechwan dishes at Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro may be adjusted upon request. Also available on the menu is a delicious selection of authentic Cantonese dishes.

Resverlogix Announces Dosing of First Two Patients in Expanded Renal and Orphan Programs

The commencement of this Phase 1 pharmacokinentic (PK) trial in patients with severe renal impairment is the first in a series of planned clinical trials designed with value creation in mind.

CALGARY, Alberta /PRNewswire/ — Resverlogix Corp. (“Resverlogix” or the “Company”) (TSX:RVX) today announced that dosing has commenced in a Phase 1 PK study with lead drug candidate apabetalone (RVX-208) in patients with severe renal impairment.

While the Company’s Phase 3 BETonMACE trial, designed for high-risk cardiovascular disease patients with type 2 diabetes and low HDL is enrolling as planned, this Phase 1 trial has been initiated and designed in accordance with the Company’s strategy to expand into new indications such as renal (chronic kidney disease) and orphan diseases with our lead candidate, apabetalone. This trial has the potential to create increased value for apabetalone in new high-risk patient segments which have shorter development paths to product registration and market adoption.

The primary objective of the Phase 1 study, based in New Zealand, is to determine if apabetalone treated patients with severe renal impairment have the same favorable PK traits as has been witnessed in previous apabetalone trials. Results are expected in the second half of 2016, and if successful, will allow for more advanced renal impairment and dialysis trials to proceed. The study will also explore acute changes in biomarkers relevant to Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal (BET) inhibition in subjects with severe renal impairment. Two cohorts, each comprised of eight subjects, will be evaluated in the study. Cohort one will include subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) not on dialysis, with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of less than 30 mL/min/1.73m2 while cohort two will include healthy individuals whose age, weight and gender will be matched to the renal impaired subjects. All subjects will receive a single oral administration of 100mg of apabetalone.

Dr. Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh, Chairman of the Renal Clinical Advisory Board, and member of the BETonMACE Clinical Steering Committee stated, “The results from this study will further assist the Company in advancing planned Phase 2 trials into expanded renal indications. Additionally, potential effects on novel biomarkers and pathways affected by select BET inhibition in patients with severe renal impairment may be elucidated and provide insight for the pre-specified subgroup in Resverlogix’s Phase 3 clinical trial BETonMACE, where is it anticipated that approximately 15 percent of subjects will have moderate renal impairment.”

About Resverlogix

Resverlogix is developing apabetalone (RVX-208), a first-in-class, small molecule that is a selective BET (bromodomain and extra-terminal) inhibitor. BET bromodomain inhibition is an epigenetic mechanism that can regulate disease-causing genes. Apabetalone is the first and only BET inhibitor selective for the second bromodomain (BD2) within the BET protein called BRD4. This selective inhibition of apabetalone on BD2 produces a specific set of biological effects with potentially important benefits for patients with diseases such as high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), chronic kidney disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Orphan diseases, and peripheral artery disease, while maintaining a well described safety profile. Apabetalone is the only selective BET bromodomain inhibitor in human clinical trials, currently in a Phase 3 trial BETonMACE in high-risk CVD patients with type 2 DM and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

Resverlogix common shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX:RVX).

Orange County, Florida Property Appraiser’s Office Recovers Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars for Taxpayers after Winning Case Against Darden Restaurants, Inc.

ORLANDO, Florida /PRNewswire/ — Darden Restaurants Inc. did not agree with the Orange County Property Appraiser (OCPA) market value of their computers, furniture, leasehold improvements, and other equipment (also known as their Tangible Personal Property) for the 2013 and 2014 tax years. Their taxes were reduced by the Value Adjustment Board so, in order to recover the lost tax revenue for the citizens of Orange County, OCPA filed a lawsuit. OCPA won the lawsuit on July 20, 2016 putting approximately $18.7 million in value back on the tax roll; which means an additional $330,373.70 in revenue to the people of Orange County. The Court has also ruled that OCPA is entitled to recover its court costs incurred throughout the duration of the litigation.

Property Appraiser Rick Singh says, “I would like to thank the hard work of all of my dedicated staff and our outside legal counsel. I am pleased that the Court has upheld our values and recognizes the professionalism of our staff. Accuracy is of utmost importance in maintaining a fair and equitable tax roll. This has been my number one goal since taking office in 2013.”

The Tangible Personal Property Department at OCPA is responsible for valuing over 60,000 companies and their computers, furniture, equipment, and leasehold improvements located in Orange County. Senior Appraisers and Auditors within the TPP Department worked diligently at valuing, defending, and recovering lost revenue in the Darden case.

Darden Restaurants Inc., is the only Fortune 500 company headquartered in Orange County, Florida. Its offices are located at 1000 Darden Center Drive in unincorporated Orange County (corner of John Young Parkway and Taft Vineland Road). Darden is the parent company of several restaurant chains including Olive Garden, Longhorn Steakhouse, Capital Grille, Bahama Breeze and Season’s 52.
