Wait a minnit! You mean every town they passed through was BOMBED? The Fall of Paris may have been just a coincidence, but for them to leave JUST BEFORE each town was destroyed is too much to leave to chance. I can't believe they were allowed to come into the U.S.
They are making a type of mochi, which is steamed sweet (or glutinous) rice that has been pounded into a starchy, sticky mass. In this case, the rice has been mixed with something green, but at times the same product can be white. The hand-pounded mass will go into a machine that is kind of visible in the back, and will be divided into uniform balls of rice paste. These go down a conveyor and are rolled in a toasted sweetened soybean powder. They may also be flattened and folded over a bit of sweet bean paste, then rolled in soybean powder. It's a pretty nice snack. A little sweet and sticky. This particular shop seems to have many videos posted of different stages of pounding. The short clip here shows the final, and fastest, stage. I am amazed that they can do this kind of thing and not lose a hand.
While a PhD is nice, he should get a Nobel Prize. His work was ground-breaking, and provided insights into many other diseases now known to be caused by prions, including "Mad Cow Disease" and, I think, Alzheimers Disease.
I find it unbelievable that Dr. Seuss never used the word "fleam" for one of his characters. Here you find the flinty fleam. He likes to balance on a beam. He carries bricks on top of sticks and mixes them with cream. Well, something like that
This is a very nice design. At some point, in-hospital birth using a table became the norm, at least in the U.S.A. The position may have been adopted for the comfort of the obstetrical staff, but forces a mother to deliver a baby against gravity. I wonder if there are birthing chairs or tables that are designed more rationally, making the comfort of the mother and success of birth the priority.
In response to a comment on the linked page, the proofreader wrote "I was just having a laugh with it. I didn’t even think about returning this to the potential employee!"
I had been taught that a job application and cover letter should be carefully written, in order to reflect my own care and attention to detail. They are the first point of contact with a potential employer, and so provide the only initial indication of my work attitudes and skills. Today, with computer word processing (my use of this term shows that I am old), it is easy to find and correct the most obvious errors of spelling and grammar.
It appears that this advice is not universally received.
