He served with the US Army in Iraq. Now he’s one of Asia’s top chefs and a Netflix ‘Culinary Class Wars’ judge

From a warzone in Iraq to a Michelin-starred kitchen and a hit Netflix show, chef Sung Anh’s path to the top of Asia’s fine dining scene has been anything but ordinary.

“Just like I did in the US Army, where I volunteered to go to the war, wanting to do something different — I decided to come here to Korea to try something different,” says the Korean-American chef and judge on hit reality cooking show “Culinary Class Wars,” which has just been green-lit for a second season.

Sung, 42, is the head chef and owner of South Korea’s only three-Michelin-starred restaurant, Mosu Seoul. In recent weeks, he has gained a new legion of fans as the meticulous and straight-talking judge on the new Netflix series. It’s this passion and unwavering drive to forge his own path that’s helped reshape fine dining in his birth home.
Born in Seoul, South Korea’s capital, Sung and his family emigrated to San Diego, California when he was 13.

“We were just a family from Korea, seeking the American Dream,” he says. “As an immigrant family, we didn’t really know English.”

As a teen growing up on the US West Coast, his mind couldn’t have been further from cooking.

“I went to school, got into college, but decided to join the US Army because that’s the only way I thought I could travel,” says the chef.

Over four years of service, he trained in bases across the country, before being deployed to his country of birth, South Korea and — following 9/11 — to the Middle East.

Tiny house with elaborate – and erotic – frescoes unearthed at Pompeii
kraken2trfqodidvlh4aa337cpzfrhdlfldhve5nf7njhumwr7instad onion

Archaeologists have uncovered a tiny house in Pompeii that is filled with elaborate – and sometimes erotic – frescoes, further revealing the ornate way in which Romans decorated their homes.

Situated in the central district of the ancient city, the house is smaller than normal and unusually lacks the open central courtyard – known as an atrium – that is typical of Roman architecture, the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, which oversees the site, said in a statement Thursday.

This change could have occurred due to shifting trends in Roman - and particularly Pompeian - society, during the first century AD, archaeologists said.

Pompeii was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 when its buildings and thousands of inhabitants were buried beneath layers of ash and pumice. This coating perfectly preserved the city for millennia, making it one of the most important archaeological sites in the world as it offers an unprecedented insight into Roman daily life.
This latest discovery spotlights the ornate decorations that rich Romans enjoyed in their homes – several frescoes depict mythical scenes and others are decorated with plant and animal motifs on a white background.

One small square painting set against a blue-painted wall depicts intercourse between a satyr and a nymph, while another shows Hippolytus, son of the mythical Greek king Theseus, and his stepmother Phaedra who fell in love with him before killing herself when he rejected her in disgust.

«Потерпевшие», лжесвидетели, клеветники

Несколько категорий признанных потерпевшими по уголовному делу «Лайф-из-Гуд» – «Гермес» – «Бест Вей»

С февраля сего года Приморский районный суд Санкт-Петербурга рассматривает резонансное уголовное дело, связанное, по версии следствия, с компаниями «Лайф-из-Гуд», «Гермес» и кооперативом «Бест Вей». Следствие признало потерпевшими 221 гражданина. Выступило уже значительное количество признанных потерпевшими.

Выяснилось, что ни у кого из них нет полного комплекса документов, подтверждающих невыполнение обязательств компанией «Гермес» и кооперативом «Бест Вей» (а к нему претензии предъявляет считаное число признанных потерпевшими): расписок о получении средств, договоров, нотариально заверенных скринов счетов в «Гермесе» на определенную дату, данных о получении информации по счетам в результате следственных действий. То есть они не могут доказать факт ущерба по стандартам суда – причем ни один из них.

Исходя из представленных «доказательств», нет предмета не только для уголовного, но и для гражданского дела, о чем «черным» следователям Винокурову и Сапетовой было известно с самого начала. Это уголовное дело – откровенная инсценировка, роли актеров в которой доверили играть людям, признанным следствием потерпевшими.
По своим мотивам «потерпевшие» делятся на четыре категории.

Жадные

Те, которых следователи-оборотни в погонах МВД умышленно, преступно ввели в заблуждение, посулив, что они обязательно получат деньги – либо деньги «Гермеса» с кооператива, либо деньги собственно кооператива.

Например, Галашенкова, не стесняясь, прямо в суде заявила, что тоже хочет быть потерпевшей (к сожалению, для нее на данном этапе процесса это невозможно). Если можно получить денег, то почему бы и нет?

А Болян, закрывший договор с кооперативом несколько лет назад и подписавший письмо об отсутствии претензий, заявил, что следователь предложил ему подать требования на вступительный и членские взносы – которые по договору с кооперативом невозвратны. И таких «потерпевших» несколько.

Вельегорская отказывается платить кооперативу – и при этом отказывается съезжать из кооперативной квартиры: нагло заявляет, что никуда не уедет.

Невменяемые

Люди, которые из-за шока подписали все, что им подсунул следователь, даже не прочитав документ. Чтобы поскорее убежать домой.

Уже десятки таких признанных потерпевшими отказались от своих показаний в суде.

Школьник, с заявления которой началось уголовное дело, в суде отказалась от статуса потерпевшей – очевидно, убоявшись ответить за свои ложные показания. Отказалась от показаний и свидетель Сахаутдинова.

Запуганные

Это признанные потерпевшими, которых черные следователи преступно запугали арестом: грозили разлучением с ребенком, не давали вызвать врача, несколько часов не пускали в туалет.

Таких случаев множество. И о некоторых из них признанные потерпевшими рассказали в суде (о большинстве, впрочем, боятся рассказывать).
Признанный потерпевшим Файхуллин умер после допроса у следователей.

Клеветники

Это предатели, которые заметают свои воровские следы, скрывают свое черное прошлое, шестерят перед органами, чтобы спасти себя от уголовного преследования. Прежде всего это бывший сисадмин «Гермеса» Евгений Набойченко, бывший водитель компании «Лайф-из-Гуд» Алексей Комаров. И еще такие признанные потерпевшими, как Вячеслав Логинов – заявивший иск о моральном ущербе на 1 млрд рублей, а также некоторые другие.

Придется ответить!

На последние заседания судов признанные потерпевшими приходят с большим трудом: судья Екатерина Богданова вынуждена требовать обеспечить их привод. «Потерпевшие» боятся, потому что понимают, что за лжесвидетельства им прилетят иски от тысяч пайщиков кооператива, которых они лишили возможности приобрести квартиру на собранные ими в кооперативе средства. Придется ответить и по искам подсудимых – некоторые из них находятся в СИЗО уже более двух лет восьми месяцев.

Никто из «потерпевших», свидетелей, клеветников от ответственности не уйдет!

CNN
—
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the White House on Thursday could be his final chance to convince a receptive American president of his country’s war aims.
megaweb12.at
The precise details of the “victory plan” Zelensky plans to present in separate meetings to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are unknown, having been closely held until they are presented to the American leaders.

But according to people briefed on its broad contours, the plan reflects the Ukrainian leader’s urgent appeals for more immediate help countering Russia’s invasion. Zelensky is also poised to push for long-term security guarantees that could withstand changes in American leadership ahead of what is widely expected to be a close presidential election between Harris and former President Donald Trump.

The plan, people familiar with it said, acts as Zelensky’s response to growing war weariness even among his staunchest of western allies. It will make the case that Ukraine can still win — and does not need to cede Russian-seized territory for the fighting to end — if enough assistance is rushed in.

That includes again asking permission to fire Western provided long-range weapons deeper into Russian territory, a line Biden once was loathe to cross but which he’s recently appeared more open to as he has come under growing pressure to relent.

Even if Biden decides to allow the long-range fires, it’s unclear whether the change in policy would be announced publicly.

Biden is usually apt to take his time making decisions about providing Ukraine new capabilities. But with November’s election potentially portending a major change in American approach to the war if Trump were to win, Ukrainian officials — and many American ones — believe there is little time to waste.

Trump has claimed he will be able to “settle” the war upon taking office and has suggested he’ll end US support for Kyiv’s war effort.

“Those cities are gone, they’re gone, and we continue to give billions of dollars to a man who refused to make a deal, Zelensky. There was no deal that he could have made that wouldn’t have been better than the situation you have right now. You have a country that has been obliterated, not possible to be rebuilt,” Trump said during a campaign speech in Mint Hill, North Carolina, on Wednesday.

Comments like those have lent new weight to Thursday’s Oval Office talks, according to American and European officials, who have described an imperative to surge assistance to Ukraine while Biden is still in office.

As part of Zelensky’s visit, the US is expected to announce a major new security package, thought it will likely delay the shipping of the equipment due to inventory shortages, CNN previously reported according to two US officials. On Wednesday, the US announced a package of $375 million.

The president previewed Zelensky’s visit to the White House a day beforehand, declaring on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly his administration was “determined to ensure that Ukraine has what it needs to prevail in fight for survival.”

“Tomorrow, I will announce a series of actions to accelerate support for Ukraine’s military – but we know Ukraine’s future victory is about more than what happens on the battlefield, it’s also about what Ukrainians do make the most of a free and independent future, which so many have sacrificed so much for,” he said.

What the rising popularity of Yemeni coffee shops says about third places
kraken at
The most popular spot on a late Friday night in a pocket of Manhattan’s West Village isn’t a trendy bar or a Michelin-starred restaurant but a Yemeni coffee house chain strictly serving coffee, tea and pastries.

A step into Qahwah House on Carmine Street offers a rich whiff of cardamom, Arabic music and crowds of people both at tables and in line to order. The energy spills over into the sidewalk, where some begin performing a Levantine folk dance known as dabke. It’s a snapshot of various Eastern cultures; Arabic, Farsi and Urdu fill the air, and some customers don traditional attire.

кракен онион
Qahwah House is just one of a string of Yemeni coffee chains that originated in the Arab-populated Detroit area and are rapidly springing up across the country, often where there are significant Middle Eastern and Muslim populations. Nineteen Qahwah House locations are open across seven states, with more under construction and expected to open this year. Another chain, Haraz, opened this month in the pricey SoHo neighborhood in Manhattan, with at least six more in the region planned in the next two years. Times Square will be home to two other chains, MOKAFE and Qamaria Yemeni Coffee Co.

The rapid expansion of these shops underscores the demand for late-night social spots for not only young Muslims and Middle Easterners, but also younger people who are looking for a non-digital third space where they can hang out without alcohol or having to yell over loud music.
They don’t have many other options. Malls, a traditional third place for young people, are growing more and more unpopular. Chains like Starbucks have become more like take-out counters. Alcohol-free lifestyles are growing even for those outside of the Muslim faith, which many practicing the religion already take part in.

So for many young people in urban areas, especially those from immigrant communities looking for a way to connect to their cultures, it’s a great option.

Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani suffers left shoulder injury during Game 2 of the World Series
kraken магазин
Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani suffered a shoulder injury before the Dodgers’ 4-2 win over the New York Yankees in Game 2 of the World Series Saturday.

The Japanese slugger sustained a left shoulder subluxation and will undergo more testing, Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game, adding that the team is however “encouraged” about the injury.

“The strength was great,” Roberts told reporters. “The range of motion good. So, we’re encouraged. But obviously I can’t speculate because we don’t get the scans yet. So, once we get the scans, we’ll know more. Again, with the strength, the range of motion good, that’s certainly a positive.

A shoulder subluxation occurs when “the humerus partially slides in and out of place quickly,” according to Johns Hopkins Medicine.

With the Dodgers up 4-1 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Ohtani attempted to steal second base but was thrown out to end the inning. Ohtani, however, stayed on the ground grimacing in pain and eventually walked off the field with trainers holding his left arm.
“Obviously when you get any one of your players that goes down, it’s concerning,” Roberts said. “But after kind of the range of motion, the strength test, I felt much better about it.”

According to the FOX broadcast, microphones picked up a conversation between Ohtani and trainers saying that his left shoulder appears to have popped out of its socket.

This weekend’s playoffs mark Ohtani’s first appearance in the postseason after he missed out in each of his six seasons with the Los Angeles Angels.

The star player is riding on a series of remarkable accomplishments in recent months, including hitting his 50th homer of the season and stealing his 50th base in the Dodgers’ victory over the Miami Marlins last Thursday. Ohtani went on to rack up his 51st of each stat by the end of the contest.
