North Korea occasionally stages such all-out national campaigns, which the state media call “battles.” They are meant to more firmly unite citizens around the Kim dynasty, press them to work harder and report bigger production numbers ahead of major political events. The current campaign is aimed at greeting a ruling party congress set for January, the first of its kind in four years, with “fiery enthusiasm and brilliant achievements,” according to North Korea’s main Rodong Sinmun newspaper. There's widespread outside doubt that short-term campaigns of this sort can address the fundamental economic problems facing the impoverished country. But North Korean leaders are seen as needing these campaigns to cement their grip on power in times of economic trouble or tensions with the outside world.

North Korea public execution of captain who listened to Free World radio for 10 years... 'This is North Korea' A fishing boat captain in Chongjin City, North Hamgyeong Province, North Korea, was shot dead on charges of listening to Free Asia broadcasting for more than 10 years, the Free Asia Broadcasting (RFA) recently reported. A fishing boat captain known as Choi Mo, in his 40s, was reportedly shot publicly after admitted to North Korean authorities that he had listened to RFA for more than 10 years. A North Korean law enforcement official said, “In mid-October last year, a fishing boat captain in Chongjin was shot on charges of listening to RFA regularly for a long time. The captain's surname is Mr. Choi, in his 40s, and he was working at a fishing base belonging to the 39th Central Party.” According to officials from the authorities, Choi, who was shot, was the captain and shipowner in charge of more than 50 ships, and Captain Choi confessed that he had listen

Dozens of senior citizens set up camp overnight outside the Fort Myers Stars Complex in Florida to mark their number in line to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Some people brought tents where others brought chairs and blankets. There were three sites that people over 65 years old, or frontline workers, could receive the coronavirus vaccine Tuesday. All three vaccination sites in Lee County reached capacity as of Tuesday morning. The Lee County Sheriff's Office is warning drivers to expect extreme traffic delays near the Bonita Springs Library vaccination site.

If Wuhan's antibody retention rate of 4.43% is substituted for 11 million citizens, it is about 500,000. Most of these people are most likely people who once had Corona 19 and then healed. CNN broadcast interpreted that it means that the number of infected people in Wuhan was ten times more than the 50,000 officially announced. Most of all, it is possible that the number was reduced intentionally or by negligence during the chaos in the early days of the outbreak. It is possible that the number of asymptomatic infections China excluded from the statistics of confirmed cases reached hundreds of thousands of people in Wuhan alone earlier this year. It is for this reason that China is already very nervous ahead of the Lunar New Year's move in February next year. With 470 million people expected to travel by train alone, Chinese authorities hurried to take action.

Kohler has patented a way to massage the eggs out of the sturgeon. First, ultrasound is used to view the eggs. A signaling protein is then given to the fish days before the eggs are ready to be harvested to induce labor. The eggs are then massaged out of the belly. This allows sturgeon farmers to reuse the same fish to harvest roe multiple times during their expected 60- to 120-year lifetime. The extracted eggs are then put through a calcium-water solution to prepare them to be salted and packed for consumption. Kohler used the technique at a contained sturgeon farm in Germany to produce cruelty-free caviar, also known as “no-kill” and “correct” caviar. They produced 1,100 pounds in 2013. The sustainable caviar is being marketed under the name Vivace for $125 an ounce. It’s on the menu at the recently opened California Caviar Co. retail and tasting facility in Sausalito. But some aren’t impressed with the technique. “It was gross,” Geno Evans, owner of Anastasia Gold Caviar in

When you think of Swiss cheese, you think of holes. But Gruyère, which has a smooth texture, is the most produced and most consumed cheese within Switzerland. Gruyère cheese is a component of a classic Swiss fondue, along with European dishes like quiche and croque monsieur. The cheese has a long heritage. Records of cheesemaking go back to the 12th century in this region. Today, 30,000 tons of Gruyere are produced here each year.

No matter where you're waking up around the world, a hearty breakfast is the best way to start the day. From sweet treats on the street to elaborate spreads that fill up the table, traditional breakfasts around the world cross the entire spectrum. Countries like Colombia and Myanmar love to start their day with savory breakfast soups like changua and mohinga noodle soup. In Bulgaria, a flaky and cheesy pastry known as banitsa is a beloved breakfast treat that is also eaten to ring in the new year. Travel around the world with us as we explore what breakfast looks like in 15 different countries.

Stilton cheese takes its name from the village of Stilton, in the east of England. The earliest reports of cheese made and sold here date to the 17th century. In 1724, English writer Daniel Defoe referred to the town being "famous for cheese," calling the product the "English Parmesan." Today, Stilton can only be made in six dairies, which are spread across three counties in England: Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, and Derbyshire. We visited Colston Bassett Dairy in Nottinghamshire to learn more about the cheese is made.

“It’s seventy-six years old, and it’s hard because I’m shaking in the cold every day. Still, wouldn't there be another victim like me if I just passed over?” Yoo Hye-kyung, 75, who met in front of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 30th, is holding a one-person protest on the 191st day. She is a victim of the Optimus private equity case that made the world noisy this year. The protests, which began in early summer, when the victims were not aware of the damage, continued from autumn to winter. In addition to the prosecutors' office, which is investigating the Optimus case, they are running a marathon demonstration at the headquarters of NH Investment & Securities, the Financial Supervisory Service, the National Assembly, and the Blue House. Yoo said, "I am going to work in front of the prosecutors' office because I think the problem of compensation for the victims will be solved only when the prosecution conducts an investigation

Here's Everything We Know About the Side Effects of the COVID-19 Vaccines So Far Maggie Ryan Thu, December 31, 2020, 1:26 AM GMT+9·4 min read COVID-19 vaccines are on the way, with options from Pfizer and Moderna already undergoing the FDA's emergency approval process, which means we're starting to wonder what kind of side effects we can expect from the vaccine. As data continues to emerge, here's a look at what the numbers and experts are saying about the three vaccine candidates that are furthest along. What Are the Side Effects of the Pfizer Vaccine? The vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, determined to be 95-percent effective at preventing COVID-19, has reported several common side effects. According to the FDA, minor side effects include: Injection site reactions, reported by 84 percent of trial participants Fatigue, reported by 63 percent of trial participants Headaches, reported by 55 percent of trial participants Chills, reported by 32 percent of t

In response to a continued surge in the number of cases and the discovery of mass cluster infections, Korea is maintaining its toughened social distancing rules until Jan. 3, putting the capital region of Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province under Level 2.5 rules and the rest of the country under Level 2. Authorities additionally implemented much stronger restrictions for the winter holiday season, especially for private gatherings and travel. The capital region also issued administrative orders to ban private gatherings of five or more people until Jan. 3.

Apparently, the kappou is a traditional Japanese establishment where the owner/cook is visible from the counter or tables, and can interact with the customers. A sushi kappou is pretty much what we call a sushi bar in the west. While this is indeed more casual than the fancy ryoutei (料亭) restaurants for example, we are still a step above the izakaya drinking establishments or “family restaurants”, which I consider to be casual. I was also surprised to learn that sushi restaurants (or kappou) also serve nabe or tempura, especially for large parties such as an enkai (office party). I guess I never bothered to read past the sushi section of the menu!

All 12 were detained for more than 100 days before this week's trial in Shenzhen, as their parents and politicians in Hong Kong, the United States and the United Kingdom pressured for their release. A group representing the families of the accused said their loved ones were abused in Chinese custody and denied access to their lawyers. Police and prosecutors in Shenzhen have previously denied accusations of ill treatment and claimed the 12 had access to legal advice, though the practice in mainland China of denying defendants their lawyer of choice by appointing a government-picked counsel has been well documented in the past. On Monday, a US State Department spokeswoman urged Beijing to release the 12 and allow them to leave the country, adding their "so-called 'crime' was to flee tyranny." https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/29/asia/hong-kong-china-taiwan-jail-intl-hnk/index.html Kappo restaurants are usually small and cozy, frequented by regulars and known onl

"""Kaiseki-ryori"" is for enjoying tea. "Kaiseki" in "Kaiseki-ryori" originates from a historical event in which a trainee monk kept a heated stone in his pocket to ward off hunger and cold. On the other hand, it refers to light dishes served at tea ceremonies to relieve hunger, and dishes served at tea ceremonies, which are part of tea ceremonies and light meals served before drinking tea, are now called 'kaiseki-ryori.' "By the way, the word ""kaiseki"" has the meaning of ""cooking"", so it is pointed out that it is wrong to call it ""kaiseki cuisine""." "Also, in order to avoid confusion with ""kaiseki cuisine"", the name ""cha kaiseki"" is sometimes used." Kaiseki cuisine """Kaiseki cuisine"" is for enjoying alcohol."

Sweet and creamy, Camembert holds a special place in the heart of cheese lovers. The iconic cheese originated in the northern French region of Normandy, where it has been made for centuries. Today, France makes 360 million wheels of Camembert each year. We visited Le 5 Frères, a family-run farm in the village of Bermonville that makes Camembert following the traditional recipe using raw milk and ladles it into molds by hand.

For most of human history, what we now call natural burial was just called “burial.” A simple, shallow hole dug into the earth, and the shrouded dead body placed into the hole. However, in many modernized areas of the world, cemeteries require the body be placed in a metal or wooden casket, then placed in a concrete or metal vault. The earth is not coming anywhere near the dead body. In addition: “American funerals are responsible each year for the felling of 30 million board feet of casket wood (some of which comes from tropical hardwoods), 90,000 tons of steel, 1.6 million tons of concrete for burial vaults, and 800,000 gallons of embalming fluid. Even cremation is an environmental horror story, with the incineration process emitting many a noxious substance, including dioxin, hydrochloric acid, sulfur dioxide, and climate-changing carbon dioxide.” via Just How Bad is Traditional Burial? In this Order article, Natural Burial and Embracing Decay, I discuss the reasons it’s so e

Frankincense and myrrh are perhaps best known for their biblical connotations. But this tree sap has been prized across the world for over 6,000 years. These fragrant incense pieces come from the Burseraceae family of trees and are found across the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. But despite recent attempts to protect these trees, they could soon be headed for extinction. So what makes frankincense and myrrh so expensive?

Potato farmers in Idaho and Montana are destroying millions of potatoes. Restaurant closures because of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a glut, and now, billions of pounds of potatoes are stuck in the supply chain. It's caused unprecedented financial losses, food waste, and emotional turmoil for farmers whose livelihood depends on their crops.

The macadamia nut is the most expensive nut in the world, with the hardest shell to crack. These exotic nuts are full of quality protein and have a rich, buttery flavor—making them ubiquitous in both the snack aisle and on dessert menus. Macadamia nuts, like Brazil nuts, are actually a seed[*]. Native to Australia, the seeds are found in an extremely hard-shelled nut on a tropical evergreen tree. They are also referred to as the Queensland nut, Bush nut, Maroochi nut, and bauple nut[*]. Macadamias are major commercial crops of Hawaii and South Africa. They were brought to Hawaii in 1881 by the Australian William Herbert Purvis, who planted them in Kukuihaele, Hawaii. The world’s largest manufacturer of these nuts, the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Corporation, founded their Hawaiian plantation in 1948[*]. These seeds are packed with incredible health benefits and there’s a reason (actually seven) why they’re the king of nuts on keto and one the best snacks on your ketogenic journey.

Even though chicory coffee has been around a long time, I've noticed that it's still quite a niche subject. Personally, I have been enjoying this coffee substitute for a long time and think people should realize just how much it can enrich your life. Don't get me wrong, I know looking for something to switch out your coffee habit sounds pretty scary — I was just like that once too. But, once you've tried it, you won't want to go back to your old ways! Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed chicory coffee aficionado since it has been about 10 years (maybe a bit longer... I feel old!) since I poured my first cup. And I honestly haven't drunk another drop of "normal" coffee since that fine day. Having said this, it did take me a while to figure out which brands were good as there was no one there to help me. That's why I knew I had to bring my experiences and recommendations with chicory coffee to the people of the internet!

Here's my article about Salak (Snake Fruit): http://migrationology.com/2012/07/sna... and also check out my travel and street food website here http://migrationology.com/ There are a lot of exotic and awesome fruit varieties in Southeast Asia. The fruit just never seems to get boring - and there's such a great diversity available, depending on the season. Throughout the year you'll find things like mango, pineapple, bananas, rose apples, oranges, and mangosteen, and some other exotic fruits like durian, jackfruit, cempedak, and of course, salak, which is commonly known is English as snake fruit. The reason salak is called snake fruit is because the skin is remarkably similar to a snake - it really does appear to have scales and is dark brown in color. What is snake fruit? Salak is actually native to Indonesia, but nowadays it can be found all over southeast Asia and even other parts of the world. It grows from the base of certain palm trees in clusters of about 20 or

On the Indonesian island of Sulawesi, the Torajan people believe that a person is not truly dead until water buffalo have been sacrificed at their funeral, serving as the vehicle to the afterlife. Until that time, the bodies are may be kept at the family's home for weeks, months or years and are fed and cared for as if they were alive. Some Torajans continue their relationship with the dead through a ma'nene' ceremony, a type of "second funeral" in which families bring out their ancestors every few years and change their clothes and clean their bodies and crypts.

FISH UNDER GROUND IN THE CAVES OF THE PERMAX The structure "Merzlotnik" was built by the labor of special and exiled migrants, workers of the Novoportovsk fish factory in the 50s of the XX century. To date, the construction "Merzlotnik" is the world's largest storage facility in permafrost, made with the help of manual labor. It has been operating according to its main purpose for more than 50 years, over the years it has not undergone major restructuring and reconstruction. The Merzlotnik facility is located directly on the eastern shore of the Novy Port Bay in the central part of the village. The history of the creation of the permafrost storage is inseparable from the history of the creation and development of the village. Novy Port and Novoportovskiy fish factory, which at one time was the main industrial enterprise of the village. It is a network of large underground tunnels.

Stepanida Aleksandrovna Lupach is a bearer of an old bread tradition from the Belarusian Polesye of the Brest region. Now she lives in the village of Derkovshchina, Vitebsk region, where I visited her in June 2018. We baked her famous bread together, and I was personally convinced that it is truly unique in its taste and aroma, thanks to a very interesting technology for its preparation, which has remained untouched for the last 200 years or more. You can thank Stepanida Alexandrovna personally with a small money order using one of three ways:

At a little roadside store in rural Nagano, a foreign tourist is miming a rice bowl with her cupped left hand. Firm in the belief that Japanese washi (paper — wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper) was made from rice, she waves her flattened right hand across the “bowl,” miming her desire for “sheets” of paper. Baffled by her gesture myself, I was at least able to communicate with her in English and ask what on Earth she was trying to buy. The local shopkeeper on the other hand was utterly perplexed; this bizarre customer seemed to be repeatedly miming that she didn’t want a bowl of rice! But, of course she didn’t, that was obvious.

The first time I heard of Ichiran was after the opening of their first US restaurant in Brooklyn, NY. After many starts and stops since 2007, it was a 2016 New York Magazine article provocatively titled, “Is Ichiran New York’s Most Antisocial Restaurant?,” that put the Japanese ramen chain on my radar. By this time I had already moved from NYC to Denver and I never quite had enough time to make it out to the Williamsburg location to try Ichiran’s famed tonkotsu ramen. So it wasn’t until 2017, when I was on my second trip to Japan, that I finally managed to get myself into an Ichiran shop. As a solo female traveler in a country where I didn’t speak the language, the idea of a restaurant specifically designed to efficiently feed individual patrons that involved absolutely no talking or awkward interaction was pretty darn appealing. But even those who have visited the US Ichiran location will find that in Japan the ordering process works a bit differently and I have found that you ca

Kyo-train GARAKU(雅洛) on Hankyu Railway runs between Osaka and Kyoto on weekends and holidays. ____________________________________ The current Kyo-Train, which has been running since 2011, is well known for its interior design which resembles that of an old-fashioned Kyoto machiya townhouse. The carriage décor employs wood paneling, wood-block printed wallpaper, tatami straw headrests, and washi paper posters to evoke the simple grace and craftsmanship of houses built for Kyoto’s merchant class. The new train develops this appreciation for Kyoto’s traditional style, but with an added emphasis on refined elegance. The name “Garaku” is actually a newly minted word that combines the Japanese character for “refinement” with an old character for the imperial capital. The meaning is simply “elegant capital” but with a nuance suggestive of Kyoto’s ancient heritage. Whereas the first Kyo-Train reproduced the modest grace of a Kyoto home, Kyo-Train Garaku celebrates the full splendor of Kyo

Dinesh Gale is a cattle farmer who makes chhurpi in Tipling, Nepal. It’s a hard cheese that comes from the milk of chauri—that’s a cross between a yak and a cow. Chhurpi smells smoky and tastes sweet, and you chew it like you would a piece of gum. It is also extremely tough and is considered to be the hardest cheese in the world. People have been making this cheese in remote parts of the Himalayas for centuries. It keeps for a long time—up to 20 years if you stash it in a special yak skin. ____________________________________________________________ Last Updated on October 17, 2020 by Michael Joseph Picture Showing Ten Different Types of Cheese.Cheese is a delicious type of dairy food and it plays a key part in almost every cuisine in the world.

North Korea leader Kim Jong-un is reported to have replaced two of the highest-ranked officials in the country, as he moves to increase his control over the secretive state. The head of the country's main intelligence agency, the Reconnaissance General Bureau (RGB), as well as the commander of the Supreme Guard, Kim's personal bodyguard, were both unexpectedly replaced, according to South Korean media. The shakeup comes despite ongoing uncertainty over the dictator's health. Lt. General Rim Kwang-il has been promoted to director of the RGB, which has been responsible for most of North Korea's espionage and attacks on other nations in the area. Kwak Chang-sik will take over as the commander of the Supreme Guard. "Last year, 80 per cent of the politburo members were replaced and nine of 11 members, or 82 per cent, of the State Affairs Commission were changed," a ministry official told the Korea Herald.

The biblical invasion of Canaan is situated in the 13th century BC. And back then, Jericho didn’t have walls. In fact, Jericho had very little in those days; it didn't even have inhabitants. When the Israelites arrived, Jericho had been abandoned for at least 300 years. Many Christian websites proudly point out that archaeologists indeed have dug up the remains of Jericho’s crumbled walls. And that’s true. But what they don’t tell you, is that Jericho had many walls over time, built on top another. The last one caved in around 2,100 BC. That’s more than 800 years before the Israelites arrived! 800 Years, that's the time difference between us and the crusaders. Jericho is the oldest city of the world that is still inhabited. People have lived in it since 8,000 BC, although sometimes the place was abandoned for centuries. And in some periods, it had walls. But these ‘walls’ weren’t exactly castle walls: they weren’t very high and archaeologists suspect they were mean

By now everyone knows that pork recipes have become as versatile as chicken when it comes to recipe your options. You can grill pork, roast pork, cook it in a slow cooker and make a chili recipe with it. Pork chops are the most popular cuts, and grocers are now using new names for them: we explain it in our How to Cook Pork Chops article. Don’t forget that any ham recipe or bacon recipe is pork, and both are featured in hundreds of our recipes. And then there are ribs: which some consider the ultimate pork recipe.

A wheel of parmesan cheese can cost over $1,000. A single wheel takes at least one year to age, 131 gallons of milk to make, and it can only be made in a restricted area in northern Italy, in the region of Emilia Romagna. We visited a dairy in Parma, Italy to find out how the cheese is made and why it is so expensive. ________________________________________________ A wheel of parmesan cheese can cost over $1,000 and has an average weight of 88 pounds, which means it cost over $11 per pound. Parmesan cheese is a big business for Italy. An average of 3.6 million wheels are produced each year, and the industry is worth an eye-popping 2.2€ billion ($2.5 billion), making this cheese one of Italy's biggest exports. A single wheel takes at least one year to age, 131 gallons of milk to make, and it can only be made in a restricted area in northern Italy, in the region of Emilia Romagna.

The Japanese are also very particular with flavour. As much as possible, they want to create a balance so the dish doesn’t end up being too sour, hot, or sweet. They are also the ones who came up with “umami,” which is a completely different taste than the ones mentioned before. The presentation is also important to the Japanese as they want to entice the diners. Thus, you can see large battered prawns, beautifully thin-sliced pink salmon, and even quirky layouts in bento boxes. Tempura is a huge hit in Japan, although it doesn’t really originate there. The main ingredient, which is usually a prawn or a shrimp, is coated with egg and flour, then deep fried. It’s so famous you can find restaurants selling nothing else but a variety of tempuras. It’s also a great food takeout and is often sold in food stalls.

Ramson or bear onion looks like lily of the valley leaves, and tastes like garlic. This is the first spring greens that appears in the markets, and thanks to which you can fill the lack of vitamins after a long and harsh winter. Ramson can reduce the amount of cholesterol in the blood, cleanse it, improve digestion, stimulate heart activity, relieve high blood pressure and drowsiness. But this does not mean that it can be eaten in bunches: in case of an overdose, an ulcer risks aggravating, a headache and diarrhea appear. Therefore, the daily allowance for an adult should be about 15-20 large leaves. Ramson can be either a side dish or a main dish. We offer you ten of the best salads based on this spicy plant.

The Temple Mount is the holiest site in Judaism. To be more precise, the site draws its sanctity from the two Temples that once stood there. Their precise location is a source of great debate and many Jews refrain from entering the site lest they enter areas that were restricted to Kohanim (priests) who were on the proper level of ritual purity. Knowing the precise location of the Temples would permit all Jews to ascend to the site as well as pave the way for a Third Temple to be built. Jews who ascend the Temple Mount frequently look to the golden dome as the focal point, believing the two Jewish Temples stood precisely there with the large stone, the centerpiece of the Muslim shrine, as the base for the Holy of Holies. Rabbi Harry Moskoff, the author of the A.R.K. Report, has come to a different conclusion; the Dome of the Rock is close but not on spot. His 20-year search has led him through many possibilities.

Trapping wild hogs becomes a problem-solving option for many landowners when the destructive animal has overtaken their property and starts to inflict damage. Many times a property owner might not even realize they have wild hogs canvassing the area unless they physically see the animal or start noticing visible signs of a pig problem. Just remember....wild hogs have been known to be aggressive, so anyone dealing with them needs to use extreme caution. In the 1500s, Spanish explorers brought the first pigs to the Americas. During the following years of colonization and the habits of free-ranging livestock, the pigs escaped their enclosures and established populations of wild hogs, which spread. In the early portions of the 1900s, Eurasian wild hogs were introduced for hunting purposes and they too escaped their enclosures, leading to larger interbred populations that spread throughout the country. As of 2013, wild hog populations have spread throughout 45 states and now inhabi

Gathered around a ring of fire, the faces of chanting Zoroastrian worshippers are lit like demons. It looks like a satanic ritual, yet this is a ceremony of the first religion to believe in a single omnipresent God, a religion at least 4000 years old. Today there are thousands of followers in the ancient Persian cities of Yazd and Chak. Tough heritage preservation laws protect their architectural gems. And in direct contrast to the persecution experienced by Iran’s other minority religions, Zoroastrians receive respect from the mullahs. They regard Zoroastrianism as part of Islam’s heritage and do not force followers to convert to modern Islam. However this spirit of religious tolerance is tinged with economic pragmatism. Tourists flock to see the ancient towns providing a rare stream of top-dollar revenue. It’s a rare prize for a nation that has isolated itself from the global economy for so long.

For centuries, millions have acknowledged and revered the Temple Mount – site of The Dome of The Rock – as the original location of the Holy Temple of God built by King Solomon and the Second Temple of God which was destroyed in 70 AD by the Romans. Many pilgrimages have been made by Christians, Jews and Muslims to view and walk this sacred area. The “Wailing Wall” – purported to be the last remaining vestige of the Second Temple of Israel, is a site where many make daily prayers, longing for the ancient temple to return to its glory. But from a literal reading of the Holy Bible it becomes clear that the Dome of the Rock is NOT the location of the temple of God. The true location can be found in the text of Scripture and this article will reveal this truth and how it was mysteriously lost in antiquity.

Russian Orthodox Christmas Russian Orthodox Christmas is celebrated on January 7th, according to the Julian calendar observed by the Russian Orthodox Church. Currently, the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar is 13 days. Starting in 2100, the difference will increase to 14 days, and Russian Christmas will thus be celebrated on January 8th from then onwards, until the next increase. During the Soviet era, Christmas and all other church holidays were banned (though many people continued to celebrate them in secret). Many Christmas traditions were moved to New Year's, which has been the most popular holiday in Russia ever since. Nevertheless, a wealth of Christmas traditions remain in Russia, including fortune-telling on Christmas Eve, singing Christmas carols (колядки, pronounced kaLYADky), and following a strict fast until the first star appears in the sky on the night of Christmas Eve.

Revelation’s seven churches were among a number of early Christian communities in Asia Minor. These particular seven churches may have been chosen to receive Christ’s apocalyptic message because, geographically, the churches were located along an established, circular trade route that brought together the most populous and influential parts of the province. Once the apocalyptic message was given to the churches in these prominent cities, the message would spread to the Christian communities in the rest of the province. Although the seven letters in Revelation are tailored to the named churches, these churches and their stated deficiencies can symbolize all churches in one respect or another. The instruction given to Revelation’s congregations, therefore, is valuable to Christian congregations today. ___________________________________________ St. Paul the Apostle, original name Saul of Tarsus, (born 4 BCE?, Tarsus in Cilicia [now in Turkey]—died c. 62–64 CE, Rome [Italy]), one

The entrance to Zedekiah's Cave is just beneath the Old City wall, between the Damascus and Herod Gates, about 500 feet (150 m) east of the former. Beyond the narrow entrance, the cave slopes down into a vast 300-foot-long auditorium-like chamber. Drops of water, known as "Zedekiah's tears", trickle through the ceiling. Beyond the "auditorium" are a series of artificial galleries hewn by ancient stonecutters into chaotic, sometimes bizarre, patterns and formations. Paths give access to every corner of the quarry system, which takes at least 30 minutes to explore thoroughly. Chisel marks are visible in many sections and in some galleries huge, nearly finished building blocks destined for some long-ago structure are locked into the rock where the stonecutters left them centuries ago. In a few places the stones are marked by Arabic, Greek, Armenian and English charcoal and engraved graffiti (e.g., "W. E. Blackstone Jan. 1889"). Several plaques expl

The ransom While in some countries, a very real (and often expensive) dowry needs to be paid before a wedding. In Russia, the bride’s ransom is more of a fun tradition. The bride’s parents “steal” her away and hide her before the ceremony until her partner completes a series of challenges set up by the bridesmaids that are designed to show the strength of his love and, ultimately, embarrass him. If a task cannot be completed, a payment of either real cash, chocolates, or flowers must be made to the bridesmaids as compensation. Other versions of the ransom quest include dressing up a male relative of the bride in wedding attire and refusing to hand over the real one until a payment has been made, or presenting the fiancé with a napkin covered in the lipstick prints of the bridal party. If the fiancé cannot identify the bride’s print correctly, he is also up for a payment. Tradional Korean Wedding Rituals.

Uramaki is a type of rolled sushi in which the rice is on the outside, rather than rolled up inside the nori. Many people call uramaki “inside-out rolls,” and this preparation is especially common in the United States, appearing notably in the California roll. Uramaki can be made at home, just like other types of rolled sushi, and it is also available at many sushi restaurants.

Photo: Yong Guo In China, there is a type of noodle so thin that it can pierce the eye of a needle. They’re called gold thread noodles, or jinsimian, and they’re a speciality of Sichuan province in southwestern China, where the dish is reserved for special occasions. Why are they called gold thread noodles? “Because after kneading the dough, the colour is gold and when you roll it out, it

There is a Chinese saying that can be loosely translated to, "There is no satisfaction without noodles," which pretty much describes my take on life. The first time I had knife-cut noodles was in China: I was young, so my memory is spotty at best, but the texture and feel of these noodles remains stubbornly in my mind. When I came back to the States, I always kept an eye out for knife-cut noodles. Luckily, I found a restaurant at home that serves them stir-fried, and it was my go-to place for years. When I moved away from home, instead of renewing my search for these noodles, I just decided to make them myself.

Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl will return to his work immediately as a Seoul court approved his suit to overturn his two-month suspension. As the top prosecutor won the legal battle, political blows are inevitable for Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, who lost to Yoon twice, and President Moon Jae-in, who endorsed Yoon’s suspension. The second interrogation, which was held two days after the first held on Tuesday, began at 3 p.m. and ended one hour and 20 minutes later. At around 10 p.m., judges made a partial decision to accept Yoon’s requests. Accordingly, Yoon will return to his post and continue to file a lawsuit to overturn the suspension. He had filed an injunction at the court on Thursday last week seeking both to apply for a suspension of the execution and to overturn the two-month disciplinary suspension of duties. Since the Ministry of Justice is expected to appeal, the final conclusion of the suspension of execution on the disciplinary measure is highly likely

The latest news about Kim Jong Un — and his health, or lack thereof — is contradictory, to say the least. While there are some reports that suggest that Kim Jong Un has died as a result of a botched heart operation, there are other reports that are suggesting that the North Korean dictator is alive and well. These new umors, however, have to be the wildest ones yet: That Kim Jong Un lives on a compound with a so-called 'pleasure squad.'

Alexander Koloskov was forced to urgently leave Russia due to threats from the side ... Whom do you think? Of course, state authorities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the special services. Who else can threaten the security of a person in our country who takes an active civil and political position? .. ____________________________________________________ ROZHDESTVENO, Russia -- Nazim Soliev is confident that he's good for Russia. Or more specifically, the 35-year-old native of Tajikistan, the most impoverished of Central Asia's five former Soviet republics, says his presence here, 200 kilometers northwest of Moscow, is good for his adopted homeland. "'Better you than the Chinese,' that's what my ex-boss told me," the small-framed Soliev says between double shifts as a stoker at the village school, earning him around $250 a month, nearly twice the average Tajik wage. The "you" is a reference to Soliev, who speaks fluent Russian and a

Trap placement Increase your chances of success by placing traps properly. Place them on or along hog trails linking resources such as food, cover, and water (Fig. 1). Aerial photographs can show how resources are distributed across the landscape, which will help you place the traps strategically. Photos can be obtained through the U.S. Department of Agriculture or software such as Google Earth. Before setting a trap, scout the property for hog sign: trails, scat, wallows, hog damage, and rubs, which are areas of mud rubbed on trees, posts, and utility poles. In areas where hogs are abundant, they will create visible paths (Fig. 2A). Often the easiest form of hog sign to locate and identify is the damage caused by rooting. However, do not place a trap in these sites. If you place the trap where there is ongoing damage by hogs, the bait will compete with a food source that the hogs are already using, and hogs tend to prefer a familiar food source. A better approach is to plac

Crocodile fishes, Cymbacephalus beauforti (Knapp, 1973), aka crocodilefishes, De Beaufort’s flatheads, Beaufort’s crocodilefishes, etc. are a mottled brownish gray species of flatfish with fluorescent green markings criss-crossing its body. They often camouflage themselves on sheltered or semi-exposed reefs. They may reach 50 centimeters in length and have 9 or 10 dorsal spines, 11 dorsal soft rays, no anal spines, 11 anal soft rays, and large pelvic fins. Juveniles are entirely black, though as they age they gradually take on the blotched pattern of the adult. The rear edge of the maxilla ends well in front of eye, and near the eye there is a prominent pit, a smooth infraorbital ridge, and a smooth suborbital ridge bearing 2 spines. The interopercular flap is usually broader than long, with several subdivisions. The eyes of the crocodilefish have frilly iris lappets (see third photo), which help break up the black pupil of the fish, and thus improve its camouflage. World Range &
