Thai restaurant rides wave of success as customers flock to dine in floodwaters

Instead of closing for the floods, Titiporn’s eatery is making waves in Thailand, staying open for customers who are revelling in shin-deep dining, and the thrill of avoiding the waves created by passing boats.

“Customers absolutely love the waves,” said Titiporn, who runs the Chao Phraya antique cafe in Nonthaburi, north of Bangkok. “What I thought would be a crisis turned into an opportunity.”

Videos have gone viral on social media of customers sitting on drenched chairs, taking mouthfuls of food as long-tail boats buzz by, then moving out of the way as waves hit.

Customers cheer and laugh as their wooden stools are knocked over by the water that breaches the restaurant.

It holds two sittings each day for diners to enjoy the experience when the water levels are highest.

The four-and-a-half-year-old, 270kg (600lb) bull elk was spotted near Pine Junction, south-west of Denver, on Saturday evening and tranquillised, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

It was the fourth attempt wildlife officers had made in the past week to try to capture and help it.

Officers with the agency had to cut off the elk’s five-point antlers to remove the object because they couldn’t slice through the steel in the bead of the tyre.

Diêm trang: lò muối Hallstatt

Humans enjoyed beer and blue cheese 2,700 years ago

The town of Hallstatt, a Unesco World Heritage Site, has been used for salt production for more than 3,000 years.

The miners spent their entire days there, working, eating and going to the bathroom in the mine.

It is thanks to the constant temperature of around 8C (46F) and the high concentration of salt at the mine that the miners’ faeces were preserved particularly well.

One of them, about 2,700 years old, was found to contain two fungi, Penicillium roqueforti and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both are known today for their use in food making.

A million euro literary prize has lured three Spanish men out of anonymity, to reveal that they are behind ultra-violent Spanish crime thrillers marketed as the work of “Spain’s Elena Ferrante”The men had published under the pseudonym Carmen Mola, which roughly translates as “Carmen’s cool”.

When one of their books won the lucrative Planeta prize, the trio went public to pick up the cheque at a glitzy ceremony attended by the Spanish king.

Their lead character in the Carmen Mola novels is detective Elena Blanco, a “peculiar and solitary woman, who loves grappa, karaoke, classic cars and sex in SUVs”, according to publisher Penguin Random House.

Their agent’s website features a photo of a woman, looking away from the camera, on the author profile page, above a flattering comparison with Italian literary sensation Elena Ferrante.

An Indian couple have arrived for their wedding in unusual style after sailing through the flooded streets of their town in a cooking pot after heavy rains wrecked havoc in the southern state of Kerala.

Footage shared across social media showed the newlyweds squeezed inside the aluminium vessel while two men and a photographer paddled the pair down a submerged street.

The couple reportedly borrowed the pot from a local temple, adding that it was “the only option” available at short notice, local news agency PTI reported.

Undeterred by the flooding and landslides caused by heavy rains which killed at least 27 people across the state, the pair were unwilling to postpone their big day.

China’s ‘piano prince’ Li Yundi detained for allegedly hiring sex worker

The official People’s Daily Newspaper confirmed that Li had been detained along with a 29-year-old woman. The official China Musicians Association also said that it was expelling him from the organisation, a sign that his domestic career may never recover.

In the meantime, several episodes of the popular reality show “Call Me By Fire”, which Li was a part of, had been removed from the Chinese internet. The decision came shortly after news of his detention began to spread across Chinese media.

Li was a child prodigy who studied in China and Germany and in 2000 won the International Chopin Piano competition aged just 18, the youngest ever winner.

He has toured internationally and has recently became a star on domestic reality TV shows. In this year’s annual lunar new year gala show on China’s central television he performed the patriotic song: I Love You, China.

Covid in New Jersey could get you 10 years in prison

While she was in custody, police said she coughed “in close proximity” to officers, and said she had Covid-19, though no dashboard, body or in-station videos exist to prove the assertion either way.

The allegation has landed Lewis, who otherwise has no criminal history, with a potentially ruinous terrorism charge – one that could land her in prison for 10 years and leave her with a $150,000 fine.

The rare and serious penalty was available to prosecutors only because New Jersey was in a state of emergency, in this case because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The charges brought by New Jersey prosecutors are formally called “terroristic threats in the second degree”. Each count can result in a possible 10-year prison sentence and a $150,000 fine and prosecutors may bring this heightened charge only during a state of emergency.
