If any version of poker has been swallowed up by the Hold'em avalanche, it's 5-card stud. This basic-but-challenging game was, at one time, played in kitchen-table, back-room and riverboat games. Today, it is nearly impossible to find a five-card poker game. Seven-card stud might be available in a handful of rooms not the classic five-card version.
Five-card stud is considered the first version of stud poker played, with roots in the 1800s. While it is closely associated with the United States during and after the Civil War, the game has also been popular in other countries, including Finland and other European nations. In most cases, the game was played with set limits, as was 7-card stud. With both these stud varieties, players put a small ante in to start the game, as compared to the blinds of Hold'em.
Players get one card face down and one card face up.
Usually the player with the lowest up-card must "bring in" with an amount set before the game starts (a "bring-in" is a forced bet).
A round of betting takes place then a third card is dealt face up.
Another round of betting- then a fourth card is dealt face up.
A round of betting takes place and the final card is dealt face up.
The betting is started by the player who has the best poker hand showing on up cards.
The final card is sometimes referred to as "the river" just as it is in Hold'em. If a player chooses to fold, he or she simply turns all cards face down and is out of the hand. Some home games and poker-room action calls for the last card to be dealt face down, a variant on the original game. This adds a bit more mystery to each hand.
Both 7-card stud and 5-card stud have been played with a high-low split as well. A player may win with the best high hand, the best low hand (such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 7) or may win both in some versions of the game. Aces are sometimes designated as both high and low, to be used either way (similar to blackjack).
Five-card stud was part of the early World Series of Poker but has not been included in tournaments at this level for more than 30 years.

Review: 'Doctor Sleep' Shimmers as Modern Companion Piece to Kubrick's 'The Shining'
Matt Marshall reviews 'Doctor Sleep,' the spiritual successor to 1980's 'The Shining,' starring Ewan McGregor and Rebecca Ferguson.

Ewan McGregor – Warner Bros.
'Doctor Sleep' Finds Some Balance Between Novel and 1980 Horror Masterpiece
2019 hasn't exactly been the best of years for Stephen King adaptations on the big screen. Earlier this year, the Pet Sematary remake was dead on arrival. It Chapter Two spent nearly three hours recycling the terrors of its superior 2017 predecessor. Doctor Sleep, the follow-up to 1980's The Shining, is the third and final adaption of a King best-seller this year. While another trip into King's sinister world sounds intriguing, do we dare play again – forever and ever and ever?
Nearly 40 years have passed since the traumatic winter at the Overlook Hotel. Danny Torrance (Ewan McGregor) is all grown up, still plagued by the horrific events of his childhood. As adult Dan, he follows in his father's footsteps struggling with alcohol. Hoping to rebuild his life, Dan finds solace from Alcoholics Anonymous and comforts dying hospice patients. While Dan's never had a "normal life," the supernatural world pulls him back in with a vengeance. A powerful cult of shiners led by Rose the Hat (Rebecca Ferguson), target other gifted beings, including 15-year old Abra (Kyliegh Curran). After years of laying low, Dan faces his demons in order to protect the psychic prodigy.
It's no secret that Stephen King disapproves of Stanley Kubrick's 1980 psychological masterpiece. By adapting King's 2013 novel, director Mike Flanagan could have disregarded Kubrick's film with Doctor Sleep. Instead, Flanagan treats Doctor Sleep as the direct sequel to Kubrick's The Shining, while paying respect to King's source material. Flanagan's faced with a tough balancing act. And while it's not a Blade Runner to Blade Runner 2049 accomplishment, Doctor Sleep earns some merit as the spiritual successor to The Shining. When not playing into fan service moments that ultimately deviate from King's novel, the sequel plays many of its cards on a much larger canvas. Claustrophobia and cabin fever are exchanged for a world-building narrative. As we learn more and more individuals shine, the dangers evolve in an alternate direction.
SEE ALSO: Review: Doctor Sleep Fights Kubrick, King, and Steam Punks
Flanagan emulates Kubrick from time to time with his haunting directorial parallels. At the same time, Doctor Sleep plays to a more contemporary hand than cerebral. Having directed Oculus, Ouija: Origin of Evil and The Haunting of Hill House, Flanagan sure knows his way around contemporary horror. Here, it's only when Kubrick's film is referenced do we get those suspenseful and spine-tingling moments. The newer puzzle pieces aren't as effective, but remain functional enough throughout for its lengthy 153 minute run time. Doctor Sleep is not quite as thematically deep as Kubrick's film. Nevertheless, we're intrigued by new mental mechanics within the franchise's universe. Fortunately, Doctor Sleep does surpass the other two King adaptations from 2019 with a more gripping narrative and cast of characters.
Ferguson and her True Knot cult are creepy adversaries and offer more tangible evil than an abstract hotel. McGregor is welcoming as an adult Dan Torrance. For a majority of the film, he acts as a mentor to Curran's Abra, while dealing with his own past. Though, his performance shines brightest when tormented by the temptation of alcohol late in the film. Carl Lumbly is a delightful dead ringer for Scatman Crothers as the spectral cook, Dick Hallorann. He pops in here and there in Doctor Sleep. Still, Lumbly's one of the film's best casting choices. Alex Essoe and Roger Dale Floyd take over for Shelley Duvall and Danny Lloyd as Wendy and Danny Torrance in flashbacks. Though with recent CGI advancements, it's surprising that there wasn't a more seamless Rogue One route taken.
Shining as bright as Kubrick's masterpiece was a near-impossible feat from the get-go. But as a modern companion piece, Flanagan's Doctor Sleep is ambitiously acceptable.

For example, Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not allow individuals with certain levels of income to use it protections to become debt free. Individuals who have enough money to pay off some or all of their debts must use Chapter 13 bankruptcy and its reorganization scheme to work through their outstanding loans.
Individuals who have previously filed for bankruptcy may be barred from pursuing either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 if their prior discharge was too soon in the past. Dismissals of prior bankruptcy filings can also require individuals to wait before attempting to get their bankruptcy matters back into the courts.
Many circumstances will dictate whether a person's interests and financial needs will be better served in Chapter 7 bankruptcy or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Their level of income, the type and nature of their debts, as well as their assets and resources, to make payments should all be considered before committing to a particular form of personal bankruptcy. To get the best possible information about how best to approach a new bankruptcy filing, a person can choose to seek the counsel of a bankruptcy attorney in their own community.


If sick animals no longer eat or animals do not start feeding quickly after surgery, there is a risk that the gastrointestinal tract will cease its physiological activity and the organism will slide into a negative nutrient balance and, as a result, an acute deficiency situation. Previously it was believed that it was only necessary in the case of illness and after surgery, to provide the patients from the beginning with as much energy in the form of carbohydrates and fat, but today it is known that it is important, the situation-related need for special nutrients like arginine, glutamine, taurine and omega-3 fatty acids. Especially in young animals – for example, with parvovirus or high-grade worm infestation – by refusing to feed quickly a shortage of these substances. Considering that 60 to 70% of the immune system is in the digestive tract, one knows how important it is to activate the gut and to prepare for food intake, to make the animal "want more", so to speak. This knowledge has long been taken into account in human medicine with special nutritional solutions, and now there is a comparable means for animals: The new liquid supplement feed Nutribound activates the gastrointestinal tract, liver and pancreas, supports the intestinal flora, strengthens the immune system and supports the healing of the intestine.
The recovery phase from the time of decaying disease symptoms or surgery to the complete recovery of the animal's health (recuperation) is called convalescence. From studies it is known that the body needs several weeks to complete recovery depending on the underlying disease, since the immune system and metabolism take about two weeks to be fully functional again. Important for the complete recovery is to prevent the weakened by disease or surgery organism for a long time in a negative energy balance (catabolic state) comes. The first 24 to 48 hours after cessation of self-sustained feed intake or after surgery – and this is where Nutribound comes in – are particularly critical in terms of rapid recovery of health.
This is an interesting new concept to get the organism out of the catabolic state as fast as possible. Because in principle one can say that every oral intake of liquid serves both the liquid replacement and the activation of the digestive tract. The still common "24-hour fasting" is therefore counterproductive in many serious diseases. The faster a solution such as Nutribound is taken up by the patient, the faster the recovery will take place. The liquid Nutribound tastes very good to the animals and in most cases is taken voluntarily, which has already achieved that the animal takes something at all. It is low in calories and contains four essential nutrients for recuperation (complete health recovery): glutamine, arginine, taurine and omega-3 fatty acids – substances needed for all types of healing, immune defense and healthy metabolism. The prebiotic fibers contained in the agent support the intestinal flora. Most patients start to eat independently on the second day of treatment with Nutribound, which then ensures the energy supply. The well-being of the sick animals is thereby increased.
Aside from the risk of a negative nutrient balance, a prolonged refusal to feed can lead to atrophy of the intestinal villi and thus to disturbances of absorption, the use of Nutrieinhergehen is appropriate – irrespective of whether it is light or severe diseases is. Following surgery, it can also be used to activate the intestine and stimulate self-feeding. Nutribound is suitable for all ages. Nutribound can not replace the veterinarian because it does not work against the trigger of the disease. However, as an important supportive measure, it may be the prerequisite for effective therapy.

We need to talk. We've had this conversation before when you give me an empty coffee cup for "Roll Up The Rim" after I've asked for my coffee in a refillable cup. I still don't believe that game cards are that big a stretch, but you know, your call.
I know, you gladly take my refillable coffee mug, but it's summer, and sometimes I'd like a cool drink in the afternoon. (Might I say, your salted caramel iced caps are a dream).
Their Frappachinos are equally good and no plastic is disposed of during my afternoon indulgence.
I want to like you better. Your stores are more convenient where I live. I have a not so secret addiction to your birthday cake Timbits. You're a quasi-Canadian company (owned by a multi-national conglomerate, but no one's perfect).
Please step up your game. Trash your trash habits. It's a win for everyone.
Did you see the Marketplace show a couple of years ago about Tim Horton's recycling? They put specially marked cups in the 'recycling' container in the store. They later found them out in the garbage bins out back of the store.
I did! That was unbelievable- and frustrating!
Great observation Bonnie. Good words.

While driving into Death Valley National Park, our first stop was Father Crowley Vista at Rainbow Canyon, and while the view was incredible, the sun was setting, Rainbow canyon was dark, and much of the Panamint Valley below was shaded.
Needless to say, after fueling up in Stovepipe Wells, we decided to drive all the way back to the scenic viewpoint the next morning and begin our Death Valley road trip activities with the items farthest from our hotel in Furnace Creek — Father Crowley Vista and Rainbow Canyon, Darwin Falls, Panamint Springs, and the Wildrose Charcoal Kilns.
Just beside the parking area, over the railing, dark lava flows and volcanic cinders give way to the colorful stripes of Rainbow Canyon, which are a striking, jagged red in the sunlight.
A dirt road leaves east from the parking area and travels about a half mile to a spectacular overlook of northern Panamint Valley.
The dirt road begs to be explored. On our first visit to the vista point, we saw a few people walking back from the lookout and began to walk ourselves, but the sun was setting and we didn't want to be out there at dark. Luckily, when we turned around the sign by the road was for vehicles, so we took our chances and drove out to the lookout. Thankfully when we arrived, a few jeeps were parked out there, so we knew that it was okay to drive on the road.
The next morning, we drove out to the point again and were treated with an incredible sunny view of the Panamint Valley.
This Death Valley vista point is named after Father John Crowley, The Desert Padre (1891-1940), a Catholic priest who served in the desert area in the 1920s-1930s. It sits at an elevation of approximately 4,280 feet.
Sitting along the western edge of Death Valley National Park, Rainbow Canyon connects Owens Valley in the west and Panamint Valley in the east, and drains the west slope of the Santa Rosa Hills and the east slope of the Inyo Mountains into the Panamint Valley.
Rainbow canyon was cut from basalt lava flows and lapilli beds of the Darwin Hills volcanoes. Formations of granite and marble can be seen below the lava in the deepest parts of the canyon and other rock is exposed, giving the canyon walls of reds, gray, and pink that are similar to the fictional Star Wars planet Tatooine. As a result, the canyon is nicknamed Star Wars Canyon.
In fact, military training flights have used Rainbow Canyon since World War II. Planes travel as low as 200 feet above the canyon floor at speeds of 200-300 miles per hour. If you're at the lookout when the planes fly through, you'll be close enough to actually see the pilot's facial expressions, and sometimes they even wave or give you a thumbs up!
Father Crowley Vista and Rainbow Canyon are located on CA-190, west of Panamint Springs, along the western edge of Death Valley National Park in Inyo County, California approximately 260 miles west of Las Vegas and 160 miles north of Los Angeles.
There is a vault toilet in the paved parking area.
While some people choose to walk out to the viewpoint, you can drive on the dirt road that leaves from the parking area, saving yourself a mile of walking, which is awesome if you've already been doing a lot of hiking in Death Valley!

Example Of What Are The Constitutional Limits On Criminal Punishment? Essay
Topic: Crime, Criminal Justice, Punishment, Law, Social Issues, Constitution, Discrimination, United States
The bill of rights contains many different rights that apply to criminals and criminal law. These are there to protect criminals from certain unfair punishments that would not fit their crime. Some examples of these types of punishments could be outstanding amount of bail or no bail allotted for someone who stole a grape. This type of punishment may seem archaic to some but this type of system existed once making it important to have a set of rules and standards in our very constitution that limits crime and punishment.
The Fifth Amendment is made up of a familiar right and that is the right to remain silent. This right protects criminals or suspects from answering questions that may be used against them in court unfairly. It also is known as Miranda rights and these rights also protect officers from being accused of unfair questioning as they allow the suspect the right to a lawyer being present. The sixth amendment ensures there are no secret trials allotted, all accused persons have the right with this amendment to have a public trial, also they are ensured that a jury is chosen that has no personal interest in the case. The suspects also are given the right to be confronted by witnesses stopping secret testimonies and the prosecution has to make sure each suspect is aware of what they are being charged with so he/she can defend themselves properly. The Eight amendments are mostly focused on unfair punishments, fines and bail.
There are many rights in place to protect suspects from unusual and unfair forms of punishments. These rights are in the constitution and apply to all persons. The limits on criminal punishment serve as a protection to all accused persons that they will not be treated unfairly by a higher power citizens who do not like them, this is essential for a system that isn't corrupt.

Actor Idris Elba says he almost plunged to death while filming war drama Beasts of No Nation in Ghana.
According to the dailymail.co.uk, the 43-year-old star told the Jonathan Ross Show on Thursday that his near miss with death came when the film's director wanted to film a scene on a real waterfall.
"In Hollywood you would have just filmed a bit of water coming down and just shot people's closeups but Cary Fukunaga, the director, decided to shoot it for real," he said.
"I then put my foot on this rock just to hang out and chill out while they were setting up and as I'm doing that it's slippery, obviously. I slip [and think] I'll be alright, I put my hand on this tree… it's not a tree it's a branch! It snaps and I go literally about six feet before I go bang over and I got caught by the security guy," Elba was quoted by dailymail.co.uk as saying.

Top Chef: Just Desserts: Bring on the Delicious Outfits!
Contestants must create edible garments and petits fours – accessories! – to go along with it
By Brian Orloff Updated October 14, 2010 09:00 AM
Credit: Kelsey McNeal/Bravo(2)
Things seem to have cooled down since we last met with the Top Chef: Just Desserts contestants. With no tempers boiling over this week, or pastry chefs ejecting themselves from the competition, Wednesday's episode focused on the cooking – not such a bad thing after weeks of histrionics.
Even a Quickfire challenge, which had the contestants baking the ever-precarious soufflé, failed to rattle anyone in the kitchen. Instead, eggs were cracked, ovens lit and soufflés risen for Gail Simmons and guest judge Sherry Yard, the pastry chef for Wolfgang Puck's vast culinary empire.
On top, Morgan Wilson, whom Yard says achieved "good height and flavor," as well as Yigit Pura, who boasted that he makes the dish all the time, even at home for his boyfriend. (Lucky guy!)
Ultimately, Yigit claimed the win for his chocolate soufflé with passion fruit and vanilla bean ice cream, which Yard said introduced a nice acidity into the dish.
Wearable Chocolate
While Zac Young thought his frozen soufflé – known as a "soufflé glace" – would nab him a Quickfire win, instead he landed in the bottom. But the loss didn't deflate his perkiness (or ego) once the elimination challenge was announced. The task – to create edible fashion, namely a dress, and two petits fours that would resemble accessories – positively energized the chef, who announced, "I know I'm the one to watch in this challenge."
Actually, that honor went to Morgan, who landed in the top again, though Zac didn't fare too badly.
Inspired by the shoes they were given to build their dresses around, the guys made stylish and wearable garments. Morgan's was created with chocolate medallions that, when stitched together, resembled paillettes. The macho chef was proud of his handiwork, even quipping, "I wish I could put it on."
Zac's look, a burlesque warrior dress, was inspired by his dominatrix-like shoes. It too impressed the judges. "Zac, you're a silly little bastard," judge Johnny Iuzzini said with a grin.
Yigit's feathered confection – a swan-like mini-dress made out of white chocolate pedals with blue embellishments – earned praise for its meticulous craftsmanship.
The winner, though, was Morgan, who also grabbed a bonus $20,000 cash prize.
Less fortunate: Heather Chittum, who struggled with a garment made puzzlingly out of vegetables, including radishes and lettuce. She explained the concept but didn't, apparently, grasp that she was on a dessert competition and needed to incorporate sweeter elements into her outfit. So, she was bounced – for a second time.
Tell us: What did you think of the challenge? Which chef has what it takes to win the competition?

Food blogger's passion is all things Berkeley Bowl
By Maya Mirsky |
OAKLAND — Laura McLively puts a fruit down on her polished wooden table. The fruit is yellow, spiky and utterly unusual — and that's just why McLively loves it.
"They look really intimidating," she laughed.
McLively, a nutritionist from North Oakland, is cooking her way through the produce section of local favorite grocery store Berkeley Bowl, and she's writing about it and posting recipes along the way at her blog, My Berkeley Bowl, at http://myberkeleybowl.com/.
She hopes to use the blog to encourage other people not to pass by the more challenging fruits and vegetables at the store, which is known for its varieties.
"In the end, they're all really easy to incorporate into dishes we know," she said.
Each post on the chatty blog McLively has been writing since March starts with pictures of a fruit or vegetable and a bit about its type and history, drawing on her professional interest in the science of food. That's followed by an original recipe, with photos and instructions. It seems simple, but behind the scenes it's more than a couple steps.
First, McLively browses the Berkeley Bowl aisles until she sees something appealingly strange — like this month, a bright blue pumpkin-like squash known as the Blue Hokkaido. She'll take it home and play with it in the kitchen, trying what cooking methods best draw out the item's special flavor.
"I figure out if it can be fried or roasted or shaved," she said.
Then it's on to recipe creation and finally writing it up in a blog post. To the blue squash, she ended up adding preserved lemons and pomegranate seeds to make a spiced rice dish with cardamom.
McLively began the project in spring, but in a way it's been a love affair long in the making. For a native of Rohnert Park, Berkeley Bowl was a new world when she saw it first.
"I was just blown away by my options," she said.
As a college student at UC Berkeley, McLively was so enamored of the store that she used to lug a rolling suitcase there to fill with food. But it was a stint in Madrid, Spain, that really led McLively to push her culinary boundaries. She volunteered with a group that helped older people shop at the city's vibrant food markets, and in doing so began to explore a whole new world of ingredients and recipes. But when she came back to the Bay Area, she stopped.
"I missed that sort of forced going outside my comfort zone," she said.
Then one day, she was shopping at Berkeley Bowl when she stopped and looked at the black Spanish radish. She was inspired — and not in a small way.
"I just realized — I should do everything," she said.
The blog makes a nice change from McLively's day job as a nutritionist with the Native American Health Center, 2950 International Blvd. in Oakland. She has to help clients there stretch their dollars to create healthy meals out of limited ingredients, so it's a fun change for her to come home and experiment with things like salsify, which she describes as looking like "gross muddy sticks" but out of which she made a tasty soup.
Since she began, the blog and her related Twitter account at @MyBerkeleyBowl (https://twitter.com/MyBerkeleyBowl) has taken off, surprising even her. She has lots of local followers, but, surprisingly to McLively, a good number of followers, readers and commenters are from around the world.
"It's been kind of shocking, really," she said.
One place she hasn't heard from yet is Berkeley Bowl itself. But there's time, because McLively is committed — and ambitious.
"My goal is to try everything in that store," she stated confidently.

Petition drive begins to put 69-house project up to vote
The group needs 3,000 signatures of valid Danville voters to require the council to put the project on the ballot.
Carlo Flores Bolanos alleges he was punched and choked in assault by sightseeing-bus driver.


Today we'd like to introduce you to Chad Huniu.
Chad, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I became fascinated with food and fermentation while living in the luscious green of Oregon. The power of microbes invisible to the eye to transform something from a humble cup of tea into a nutritive and probiotic powerhouse like kombucha was simply awe-inspiring to me.
So what started as an interest turned into an obsession and eventually a job. I worked as a line cook for a couple years, especially at Seabirds Kitchen in Costa Mesa, where chef-owner Stephanie Morgan helped me to realize my potential as a fermentor and creator.
When I decided to start Fermensch Kombucha, my father was also retiring from the family wheel and auto parts business. He decided he wanted to have another go at it and backed me. We were off running!
While I have always loved all kinds of funky and sour ferments, kombucha (AKA booch) really enamored me. It's ability to be enjoyed at all times of the day. It's endless creativity with flavoring. It's potential to replace sugary sodas and soft drinks. But I noticed so many of the booches on the market were so intensely sour that it turned off my friends and family.
With Fermensch, I wanted to create a kombucha that tastes as good as it is for you. The more people that consume naturally fermented foods, probiotics, and gut-healthy organic acids the better our national health will be!
Neither my father (Norman) or I had worked in the beer or beverage industry before this. Learning how to ferment on a larger scale, sourcing our stainless steel fermentation tanks, kegging, carbonation, how to serve our booch — it was days of hard work and discovery. Luckily, the local craft beer community was super generous and helpful, pointing us in the right direction every time!
On top of that, finding our brewing facility, getting approved by the health department, figuring out how to custom-build our brewing system, all why learning how to run a business for the first time at 24. Oy vey!
It was early mornings and many late nights. And still, I'd do it all over again if I had to.
Alright – so let's talk business. Tell us about Fermensch Kombucha – what should we know?
At Fermensch Kombucha we pride ourselves in the drinkability of our booch.
We strive to make a kombucha that tastes as good as it is for you. It's why we started by kegging our booch, keeping it fresh and bubbly every time it's poured from the tap. We use 100% organic ingredients and painstakingly test our recipes before they hit the streets.
Every time we hear someone claim they "don't like kombucha," we give them a taste of our Bloom (a refreshing, mild mix of organic blueberries, lavender and chamomile). 99% of the time they are surprised and say, "Oh! That's not bad!" And that makes our day.
While I think persistence, the ability to get back on the horse, and creativity are all very important qualities, I think the thing that's been most important to the success of Fermensch is actually the help of other people.
I have received unbelievable support from my father and business partner, Norman, but also from the rest of my family, friends, and those who blazed the trail before me. I am humbled by their generosity, advice, and helpful hands.

Japanese distillery sends whiskey to space to study zero-gravity effects on aging
The oldest distillery in Japan is sending whiskey into space to test the effects of zero-gravity on the aging process. The company, Suntory, will send six samples of whiskey to the International Space Station in August. The samples will be compared to a parallel set of samples in Japan.
Cinephiles will recognize the Suntory name from Bill Murray's turn in Lost in Translation:
"For relaxing times, make it Suntory Time."
Facts about: other weird things brought to space
Suntory isn't the first brewing company to send samples into space. Ninkasi Brewing Company sent their yeast to space to brew a craft beer called Ground Control Stout.
A prop lightsaber from Return of the Jedi went to space in 2007 in honor of the 30th anniversary of the 1977's Star Wars.
Towards the end of his walk on the moon, astronaut Alan Shepard of the Apollo 14 mission informed NASA's Mission Control that he "happened to have" a six-iron golf club and some golf balls. After whiffing a few times, he hit one of the balls "for miles and miles and miles." He donated the club to the US Golf Association upon landing back on Earth.
Toy Story's action figure Buzz Lightyear went into space in 2008 with Discovery mission STS-124. It lived at the International Space Station for over 450 days.

Without enough drugs and access to vaccines, North Korea is battling a growing wave of COVID-19. On Thursday, the North Korean News Agency reported the registration of 262,270 suspected cases of coronavirus and one deceased.
According to the agency, since the end of April, more than 1.98 million patients have been identified in the country with a population of 26 million. At least 740,160 people have been quarantined.
The agency said a campaign to tackle the epidemic had been launched in the communist state, which had closed its borders for the past two years to stop the infection. The information shows that it relies mainly on traditional Korean antipyretics and painkillers, which "are effective in preventing and treating harmful diseases." More isolation facilities have been opened across the country, disinfection efforts have been stepped up and strict quarantine measures have been introduced.
"We are working hard to scientifically predict the spread of the epidemic and to build a comprehensive logistical preparation to counter future threats and challenges. At the same time, the serious situation in which new variants of the coronavirus are constantly flaring country is closely monitored ".
This week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un criticized senior officials for miscalculations in drug distribution and "immature" response to the epidemic. In this regard, the agency writes: "Party organizations and units for the prevention of emergency epidemics at all levels held consultations to immediately correct the identified vulnerabilities, omissions, shortcomings, and defects in the work to prevent the epidemic."
Western media have noted that South Korea and the United States have offered to help North Korea fight the infection, but have not received a response. At the same time, according to sources, three planes carrying medical supplies from China arrived in Pyongyang on Monday.
Since the beginning of the pandemic, more than 525 million cases of COVID-19 infection have been registered in the world, and 6.2 million people have died.
Two years later: North Korea is battling the COVID wave
Two years after the advent of COVID-19, North Korean authorities have acknowledged that the infection has reached the country. More than 174,000 active cases of coronavirus infection were registered on May 13, 21 people died, North Korean media reported.
A total of 524,440 cases of COVID-19 were detected in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) from late April to May 13, and the death toll is 27. Of the 243,630 patients who have been completely cured, 280,810 are being treated, Interfax reported. ".
Given North Korea's limited capacity to conduct tests, the figures are likely to be only a fraction of the total, BTA said. According to experts, if the authorities fail to control the spread, it could have devastating consequences due to the weak health care system.
Pyongyang first admitted on May 12 that there was COVID in the DPRK, and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un called the coronavirus epidemic "the biggest shock since the country's founding."
The Politburo of the Central Committee of the Korean Workers' Party, the highest state body, held a meeting on Saturday "to check the state of the maximum emergency quarantine system and strengthen practical policy measures." The meeting was chaired personally by Kim Jong Un and recommended that the health authorities study well the quarantine policy, achievements, and experience of other advanced countries. He cited China in particular as an example to follow.
So far, North Korea has rejected UN attempts through the COVID-19 vaccine program, COVAX, to send vaccines to the country, saying it does not need them. On Friday, South Korea offered to send vaccines, and Russia offered to help.
North Korea was one of the first countries to close its borders after the appearance of the new coronavirus in neighboring China – in January 2020.
North Korean authorities have not announced the source of the outbreak, but a Seoul-based website citing sources in North Korea said on Friday night that some students at Pyongyang University had tested positive after attending an event. Labor Day on May 1, was also attended by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The students may have spread the virus after visiting their hometowns near the capital Pyongyang, according to the Daily NK website, citing a source in Pyongyang. The country's 26 million people have not been vaccinated against the infection.

PACHINKO starring Lee Min-Ho premieres tomorrow
THIS BLOG POST IS FOR AN UPCOMING STREAMING SERIES "PACHINKO", AND MAY CONTAIN POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR THE SHOW.
The cast & crew of the Korean/Japanese American drama Pachinko, based off a book by author Min Jin Lee, filmed in Vancouver back during the early days of filming in the pandemic. Despite the many limitations in place because of the rules put in place to film at this time, they managed to finish their project on time.
The series stars
- Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-Jung/ 윤여정 as Sunja
- Kim Min-Ha / 김민하 as teenage Sunja
- Lee Min-Ho/ 이민호 as Koh Hansu
- Jin Ha as Solomon Baek
- Anna Sawai as Naomi.
- Soj Arai as Baek Mozasu
- Kaho Minami as Etsuko
- Jung Eun-Chae as Kyunghee
- Jimmy Simpson as Tom Andrews
It was directed by former Twilight cast member Justin Chon. It will be distributed on Apple tv.
I caught up to their productions a couple times, but unfortunately, I saw very little of the actual filming, as much of it was inside a shipyard in Steveston. This was of course where Lee did several days of filming, and drew large crowds almost daily.
I did see 1 scene get filmed on another night with 2 other actors (I am not familiar with who is playing which characters. Feel free to let me know & I can credit them accordingly) of two actors departing a train station with limited bags.
I dont know which episodes they might be from, so you might not see them till the final episode, or they could be in the first episode.
Below are some of my photos from those days. Along with a few from a guest photographer who allowed me use of a few of his photos of Lee that were notably better than what I had got on those days.
The series premieres on Apple TV March 25, 2022.

Functions: vibration aesthetic treatment, warming, iontophoresis.
The fusion of a "kassa" - a traditional Asian beauty item - and belulu allows you to attain ideal skin and face line. By rubbing the plate on your skin to stimulate it, it's said that you can push out toxins in the blood and improve blood flow. Through its detox effects, facial muscle stiffness, slackness and fullness are eliminated, and trouble areas become resolved. The massage mode that vibrates 8500 times a minute further promotes blood circulation and helps waste matter to become easily discharged. The hot massage mode that vibrates approx. 12,000 times a minute increases the temperature to around 45°C, raising your metabolism. Thanks to its iontophoresis function, if you use with cream or serum containing beauty ingredients, they will penetrate more deeply into the skin.

TOURE HUNGER IS BACK
Submitted by isport on Sun, 01/10/2016 - 10:37
Yaya Touré appears to have got his hunger back after the midfielder stated that Manchester City are very keen on reclaiming the Premier League title from Chelsea.
The Blues have never managed to win the title in back-to-back seasons. This has often been attributed towards the lackadaisical attitude of some of the important players within the squad.
Toure was a major factor in helping the club win the league title during the 2013-14 season. He was once again a factor, but this time on the losing side, in City failing to be successful in the defence of the crown.
The 32-year-old midfielder only managed to score 10 goals in 29 appearances last season. This was in sharp contrast to more than 20 goals that he managed in the previous campaign. Manchester City appear to be developing the ill-advised habit of losing the desire immediately after winning a title.
Now, though, they seem extremely motivated to become champions of England once again. The live betting on sites like StanJames make Manchester City the firm favourites to take the title.
After being linked with a move to Inter Milan throughout the summer, Touré is now keen on helping City reclaimed the English crown. The arrival of Fabian Delph from Aston Villa, though, could be a threat to his first-team spot.
"After two or three years full of competition, I needed the break but I am very happy to be back and working. We have a lot of targets. The target this year is to make his club proud because last year was quite disappointing. We want to do something big this year.
"We are looking forward to the new players coming and trying to help the club do something big. The club has been built to top this league and when we finish in second it is quite disappointing. We want to bounce back," said the midfielder about the new season.

Alex Quiz
The Alex City Quiz 2019
On May 22nd 2019 the usual contingent of bankers, brokers, lawyers and financial PR people descended on Conway Hall in London's elegant Bloomsbury district to take part in the tenth annual Alex City Quiz. It turned out that the Communist Party of Great Britain was holding its annual general meeting at the same venue that evening. As the Sparts, Trots and Corbynistas plotted the overthrow of the capitalist system, they were probably unaware that it was in full flow in the adjoining hall.
The balmy Spring evening was perfect weather for quizzing, though a few contestants had inexplicably elected to go and drink beer in riverside pubs instead. There were also few no-shows on account of the availability of cut-price pre-bank-holiday-weekend flights to Spain. Anyone who had taken advantage of this cheapskate option was swiftly added to Alex's embargoed list for next year's quiz.
The eleven teams of six players each who turned out were mainly seasoned and battle-scarred regulars. But there were two teams of newbies, blinking anxiously in the light of England's oldest ethical society and wondering what they had let themselves in for.
The quiz was hosted as ever by Alex co-creator Russell Taylor and Marcus Berkmann, writer, journalist and Round Britain quizzer (the John Julius Norwich de nos jours), ably assisted by Suzette Field, Tara Spring and Russell's six-year-old daughter Una. The charitable cause was St Christopher's Hospice.
The evening's glittering prize - the Masterley Trophy, a gilded statuette of Alex reminiscent of an Oscar and freshly minted for the occasion by model-maker Eleanor Tomkins, was on proud display. Among the teams were four former winners of this prestigious trophy, which boded well, in that there was bound to be plenty of disappointment, rancour and recriminations by the end of the evening.
Unusually for a quiz night there was a good representation of women and Millennials on the teams. Millennials of course are well known for knowing nothing about anything other than themselves. This evening was the opportunity to right this cruel misconception (much perpetuated in the Alex cartoon). Most of the other competitors were the standard grizzled men in their 50s. As Russell reminded them in his opening remarks: you may not be wanted in investment banks any more, but a quiz night is where you come into your own.
The rules were briefly explained: there would be six rounds of ten questions, including a picture round and a music round. Each team also had a joker which could be played in advance of any round and would double the team's points tally for that round. Russell advised them to play it on the first round in that (a) it's usually quite easy and (b) you then don't spend the rest of the quiz debating which round to play your joker on. In any case Sod's Law dictates that whatever round you play it on will inevitably prove to be your lowest scoring round of the evening.
Next came the ritual switching off of mobile phones, something that the Millennials found particularly traumatic. But they all had to go off - especially those cheap Huawei ones - as we didn't want the quiz being relayed live to Beijing. But come to think of it, that still happens even when they are switched off
Round One was general knowledge and included a question in honour of the fact that it was Morrissey's 60th birthday ("Which well-known radio broadcaster inspired the refrain 'Hang the DJ' in the Smiths song 'Panic'"?)
Round Two was a connections round called "The Seasons" in which all the answers were the names of herbs or spices. This gave Russell the chance to recycle a question he had heard twenty years ago in the Tuesday night quiz in the Price of Wales in Highgate: "Who said 'I did everything that Fred did, only backwards and in high heels'?" One wag had shouted out back then "Rosemary West" (not the correct answer, although her name would also have fitted the theme).
Round Three was a film round. One team failed to get "The Magnificent Seven" - which is odd as it is possibly the most asked-about film in quizzing history.
At eight c'clock there was a break for refreshments and networking. As the quizzers tucked into their sandwiches they had to identify 20 inebriated celebrities in the picture round (entitled "Whose Round Is It Anyway?"). Iconic drunks was a subject that they clearly excelled at and over half the teams scored full marks on the round.
Regular participants had been wondering about the absence of a piano on the stage. Did this mean that Harry the Piano would not be taking to the keys to perform one of his legendary improvisations in the Music Round? Indeed Harry had double-booked himself to play at the Newbury Jazz Festival, but appeared on the big screen performing a medley of songs on the theme of transport. You can hear it here.
Going into the final general knowledge round it was neck and neck between the ponderously-named, four-times former champions I'm Not the Quizmaster I'm a Very Naughty Boy and The Bond Street Quizzical Society. Question One in the round was about the recently concluded Premier League ("Manchester City and Liverpool have anthems - 'Blue Moon' and 'You'll Never Walk Alone' - that were written by the same Broadway composer. Who?"). There had been only one point in it in the football and so it transpired in the quiz. But would be the Man City and who the Liverpool? In the end it panned out the same as the football: the team that had never won it before - Bond Street - fell agonisingly short; and the past champions - I'm Not the Quizmaster - retained the single point advantage that allowed them to lift the Masterley trophy again. Bond Street had to content themselves with a replica trophy they had brought along. The team member who had written down "Edward VI" instead of "Henry VI" for question seven would have to buy all the drinks in the Old Red Lion afterwards.
It only remained to hold the traditional Snowball Round. Over the course of the evening the quizzers were invited to put their business cards (attached to a £20 note) into a hat. At the end of proceedings the idea was that Russell would pull out a card at random, dial the mobile number on it and ask the person who answered a simple question about Alex, which if they answered correctly would win them a signed, framed Alex original cartoon. Normally this goes without a hitch. This evening it proved more problematical. Firstly it seems that in the age of LinkedIn fewer people bother to carry business cards. Or maybe it's just cost-cutting by banks. Secondly, the card that was pulled out of the hat proved not to have a mobile number on it. So Russell dispensed with the formality and simply invited the person (a dentist named Daniel) to approach the stage. The question was simple enough for anyone with a passing knowledge of Alex (or indeed the City): "Which city does Alex constantly worry about being sent to work in post-Brexit?". Daniel struggled with it and was clearly bothered by something more than his ignorance of Alex's phobias. There was a commotion at the back of the room. It turned out that the person standing out front was an imposter and, though he was indeed called Daniel, he was not a dentist. The person who replaced him and who had put the card in the hat was actually a dentist, but not one called Daniel (it turned out he had put a colleague's card into the hat). This was beginning to resemble the Monty Python "bogus psychiatrist" sketch (Millennials, look it up on Youtube). In the ensuing kerfuffle it was not clear who left bearing the cartoon original.
On leaving the event there is a tradition that one of the well-refreshed quizzers steals the cardboard cutout of Alex, which is found the next morning seated at the boss's desk in some investment bank (and often doing a better job of running the department). Touchingly this year the light-fingered participant actually offered to pay £40 to the charity for the right to purloin Alex.
The Pollikett Spread (named after Russell and Marcus's late friend Chris Pollikett) determines that the optimum span of scores between last- and first-placed teams in a quiz should be approximately 55% - 85%. The range of scores this evening was 60% - 92% suggesting that the quiz was slightly too easy. But of course there is no such thing as a quiz that is too easy. There are hard quizzes of course - after which the competitors round on the quizmaster to complain that the questions were too difficult. But if the questions are too easy the participants merely congratulate themselves on how clever they are.
Just in case you were wondering, those answers were:
Steve Wright. Ginger Rogers. Richard Rodgers. Frankfurt.
Russell Taylor

DOORS OPEN DAY Free entry to Paklenica National Park on Saturday!
by	Plitvice Times	17. October 2019.
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of Paklenica as a national park, the Paklenica National Park is organizing a "Doors Open Day" on Saturday, October 19.
On that day the Park gives free tickets to all the visitors!.
Due to its unique natural features, magnificent forests and extraordinary geomorphologic structures, the area of Velika and Mala Paklenica was proclaimed a national park in 1949. The main reason for proclaiming this area a national park was the protection of the largest and best-preserved forest complex in the territory of Dalmatia, which was threatened by overexploitation.
The Paklenica National Park on the area of 95 km2, and includes the highest peaks of the Velebit Mountain – Vaganski vrh (1752 m a.s.l.) and Sveto brdo (1753 m a.s.l.).

Seafood Collaboration Project
and Celebrating Collaboration
Invitation/Application Process
The Seafood Collaboration Project will work with partners to identify developing projects and programs working to build collaborative responses to challenges in sustainable seafood. Applications will be reviewed based on the value to sustainable seafood of the collaborative effort the applicant is engaged in, the value to the SeaWeb Seafood Summit and its participants can provide to the applicant program, and the value to Summit attendees of engaging with the programs. Apply today >>
Participant Engagement at the
SeaWeb Seafood Summit
Seafood Collaboration Project participants will have the opportunity to meet with leaders in sustainable seafood through a set of formal and informal meetings and events at the SeaWeb Seafood Summit. For a group of seafood industry stakeholders struggling to address challenges in new geographies or sectors, the collective knowledge and experience of the Summit community can be an incredible resource.
During the final plenary slot we will have 10 – 15 presentations in a lightening round style. While the program will have a Shark Tank feel to it with the award, the goal is to make the participants feel welcome in the broader sustainable seafood network and celebrate the work they are doing. Each group will have approximately 3 minutes to present and share with the Summit audience how their work is making seafood better through collaboration.
Countdown to the Seafood Collaboration Project Presentations:
Collaboration and Networking Celebration
The SeaWeb Seafood Summit will end with a closing reception that will celebrate both the programs participating in the Seafood Collaboration Project and the work and networking that has taken place over the last four days. The reception will feature an opportunity for participants to easily share information with each other through the app – making sure that any and all last minute networking and information gathering is accomplished before Summit attendees go back to the real world.
Seafood Collaboration Award
After the presentations from the Seafood Collaboration Project participants have concluded, the SeaWeb Seafood Summit audience will vote on the program they think deserves to be awarded the prize for best collaborative effort in seafood. The Summit program will conclude with some closing remarks and before or during the final reception celebrating collaboration.
