#John_Snow, Movie Star

John Snow’s myth is one of a rebel scientist of humble origins fighting against ingrained prejudices. I won’t bore you with the details of his tale, as it has been beautifully narrated elsewhere3. Let me just offer a brief summary: In the nineteenth century, cholera was a disease that killed many thousands a year. Today, we know that cholera is caused by a bacteria—Vibrio cholerae—which has been shaped by evolution to spread itself in a devilish manner: It provokes severe vomiting and diarrhea. If its victims live very close to each other and they don’t have access to adequate sanitary conditions, it is likely that the fluids they release will contaminate sources of water or food.

Qatar Navigation (Milaha) , a top Doha-based shipping and logistics group, said on Wednesday it had launched a new container service to Kuwait amid a diplomatic crisis that has seen it lose access to regional trans-shipment hub, Dubai.

Milaha will operate the weekly, direct service between Kuwait and Qatar using a vessel capable of handling the equivalent of 515 20-foot containers, the company said in a statement.

Milaha said the service between Qatar’s Hamad Port and Shuwaikh Port in Kuwait would have a transit time of one day and be ideal for transporting perishable products and food.

Wobbledogs is even more ridiculous than it sounds

Dog’s appearances are defined by “genes”—a long string of 1s and 0s that are translated into fur colors, leg lengths, widths etc. Over the course of the hilarious breeding process those values can “mutate” (by flipping from a 1 to a 0 or vice versa) and produce a slightly different dog, meaning you can select for or against certain traits. Behaviors, meanwhile, can be trained with scolding and rewarding based on what you want to reinforce. Dogs have rudimentary memories, too, so they might pick a favorite spot to sleep, or figure out where you always place the food.

The food stays in the kitchen. Everything i needed to know about statutory interpretation i learned by the time i was nine
Hillel Y . Levin

On March 23, 1986, the following proclamation, henceforth known as Ordinance 7.3, was made by the Supreme Lawmaker, Mother:
I am tired of finding popcorn kernels, pretzel crumbs, and pieces of cereal all over the family room. From now on, no food may be eaten outside the kitchen.
Thereupon, litigation arose.

FATHER, C.J., issued the following ruling on March 30, 1986: Defendant Anne, age 14, was seen carrying a glass of water into the family room. She was charged with violating Ordinance 7.3 (“the Rule”). We hold that drinking water outside of the kitchen does not violate the Rule.
The Rule prohibits “food” from being eaten outside of the
kitchen. This prohibition does not extend to water, which is a beverage rather than food. Our interpretation is confirmed by Webster’s Dictionary, which defines food to mean, in relevant part, a “material consisting essentially of protein, carbohydrate, and fat used in the body of an organism to sustain growth, repair, and vital processes and to furnish energy” and “nutriment in solid form.” Plainly, water, which contains no protein, carbohydrate, or fat, and which is not in solid form, is not a food.

With the tightening of asylum polices in the European Union, the number of asylum seekers in Algeria is starting to grow once more, albeit slowly. There were 3,000 Syrian asylum-seekers in Algeria by the end of 2015, according to the UN.

Even though refugees and asylum-seekers receive free access to education and public health from the government of Algeria, they are not given access to work, according to UNHCR, hindering their ability to care for themselves and their families.

For their part, restaurant owners throughout various Algerian cities have taken it upon themselves to support asylum-seekers the best way they know how: with food.
