Hong Kong Bid Farewell To Jumbo Kingdom, The World’s Largest Floating Restaurant.

At about 7 a.m. on June 14, a dozen tugboats arrived at the Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter's southwest bay to tow away Jumbo Kingdom seafood restaurant in Hong Kong. Locals gathered along the waterfront to give the restaurant its final farewell. Estimating around 260 feet in length, the goliath three-story Jumbo Floating Restaurant was well known for its colossal green and red neon sign perusing "foon ying gwong lam," Chinese for "welcome." In its prime, it was important for the biggest drifting eatery on the planet. For almost 50 years, it was the fundamental boat of Jumbo Kingdom, which likewise incorporated the more seasoned and more modest sister eatery boat Tai Pak (tracing all the way back to 1952), a flatboat for fish tanks, a 130-foot-long kitchen boat and eight little ships to shi...

Taking A Draining Putt At The US Open, A Golf Player Became Annoyed.

Two-time Major tournament winner Justin Thomas has had many happy Saturdays playing golf. The third round at the 2022 US Open is unlikely to rank among the others. The writing was perhaps on the wall before the first over of Justin's day at Edgewood. Thomas' opening drive was called out by mistake, which prompted a bemused reaction from the American. Following a solid start of three consecutive pars, confusion made way for fury at the fourth hole when his tee shot landed in a drain in the center of the fairway. Not afforded a drop, he proceeded to play his ball as it lay, with his errant shot sailing into a bunker well short of the green. Looking down at the drain in disgust before his ball had even landed, Thomas could be heard saying on Sky Sports' broadcast: "That's what pisses me of...

Germany To Fire Up Coal Stations As Russia Squeezes Gas Supply

A series of measures will be implemented to reduce natural gas use in Germany and use it to fill gas storage facilities, German Economy Minister Robert Habeck announced Sunday. "The circumstance is serious," Habeck said in an explanation. "We are hence proceeding to fortify safeguards and going to extra lengths to decrease gas utilization.

Germany is vigorously dependent on Moscow's gas to drive its homes and weighty industry, however has figured out how to shave Moscow's portion of its imports down to 35% from 55% before the beginning of the conflict in Ukraine.   Habeck expressed security of supply was at present ensured...

Lawmakers Urge Google To Remove Misleading Results In Searches For Abortion Clinics.

Democratic members of Congress have espoused Google in their efforts to prevent return results for abortion ambulotories from surfacing in search engines and ads related to abortion that appear to be legit that direct individuals to sites that oppose the process. They argue that after such searches, medical practitioners may accidentally mislead the population into thinking dubious abortion methods are safe, putting women's health in danger. Lawmakers Mark Warner and Elissa Slotkin said in a letter sent Friday to Google CEO Sundar Pichai that if the company does not limit anti-abortion clinics from appearing in the Google Search and Maps results for abortion services, it should label search results to clearly show whether a clinic in its results actually provides abortions. "Directing w...

Nadal Admits Being Unable To Perform On Tour Like He Did In The Past After A Long Layoff.

Kim Kardashian Is Developing Skin Care Kits.

Perhaps your midyear inspiration is reflecting that the time has come for a beauty overhaul. Kim Kardashian's new skincare line, SKKN BY KIM, will launch later this month. Kardashian's new undertaking comes only one year after the release of news that KKW Beauty was no more, a change many believed was merely a precursor to a complete rebrand. In KKK Beauty stores, the products available seem unique to Kim's personal brand. As opposed to offering conventional makeup, Kim has sold her high-up brand as (highbrow, cutting edge) skin care. SKKN's line of nine beautifully formulated skin-care products focusses on new formulas that revitalise skin. Housed in architecturally inspired packaging that demands countertop space, each brand's offerings go for under $100 ($80). The Kim Kardashia...
