Watching some amazing fishing skills, but there are a lot of fish. One fisher just waits until they jump into his mouth!

Note: Always cook salmon to kill the parasites and the parasites eggs, raw salmon has parasites in the fish.

No. That's not really true.
Freezing the fish perhaps is enough.
For many years, the Swedish Food Administration has suggested that salmon to be eaten raw or almost raw must be frozen in order for any parasites to be harmless. But it is no longer necessary. The reason is, above all, that farmed salmon is not fed with fish residues, which can contain parasites, but are grown on pellets.
However, this applies only to farmed salmon - all wild salmon, like almost any other farmed fish, will still need to be frozen for three days, even longer if the fish is really big.

http://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/new-salmon-tapeworm-concern-article
A new study has found that some salmon off the coast of Alaska carry the Japanese broad tapeworm, a small and unpleasant fellow previously confined to northeastern Asia. If you'd like to know how he operates, may I suggest the lede of this Washington Post story about a "Japanese man with a fondness for chilled salmon"? It's very vivid. (The man, for his part, was swiftly cured of his condition by a round of anti-worm medication.)

Beeing very off topic but here are some more quotes from the article you linked to.
Researchers write, "Because Pacific salmon are frequently exported unfrozen, on ice, plerocercoids"—that is, larvae—"may survive transport and cause human infections in areas where they are not endemic, such as China, Europe, New Zealand, and middle and eastern United States." (Freezing salmon kills the parasites, as does cooking it.)

As the Post notes, reassuringly, "the vast majority of raw salmon on the market does not come with the risk of a new type of parasitic infection." And while raw, never-frozen fish carries higher risks, there's probably no need to give up sushi just yet.

My grandmother has though once got infested by a tape worm.
Watching that several meters long worm when dragging it out must have been horrific:(

Star Trek Continues E03 "Fairest of Them All"

Chris Doohan is very good, He looks almost like His dad James Doohan, sounds like James, and Chris can act too.


He really does look very much like his dad. I'll have to check out the series. I don't
think I've heard of it until now.

A few nights ago, I watched an episode of "Mad Men" on the Audience channel. I've heard about that show for years, but never seen it until now, and I'm quickly getting hooked on it. The story themes, and the atmospheric lighting style, along with the over saturated colors of the film, remind me of Far from Heaven.

Yeah, they are only making 11 episodes too, probably cause of CBS/Paramount, or maybe the cost... Still they are well made, even down to Spock's goatee, and agonizer...

It was CBS/Paramount that put their feet down on all of the fan videos. There was a bad apple or two that stepped on their toes and property rights. So they laid down the law.

Paramount CBS fan video guidelines.

Guidelines for Avoiding Objections:

The fan production must be less than 15 minutes for a single self-contained story, or no more than 2 segments, episodes or parts, not to exceed 30 minutes total, with no additional seasons, episodes, parts, sequels or remakes.

The title of the fan production or any parts cannot include the name “Star Trek.” However, the title must contain a subtitle with the phrase: “A STAR TREK FAN PRODUCTION” in plain typeface. The fan production cannot use the term “official” in either its title or subtitle or in any marketing, promotions or social media for the fan production.

The content in the fan production must be original, not reproductions, recreations or clips from any Star Trek production. If non-Star Trek third party content is used, all necessary permissions for any third party content should be obtained in writing.

If the fan production uses commercially-available Star Trek uniforms, accessories, toys and props, these items must be official merchandise and not bootleg items or imitations of such commercially available products.

The fan production must be a real “fan” production, i.e., creators, actors and all other participants must be amateurs, cannot be compensated for their services, and cannot be currently or previously employed on any Star Trek series, films, production of DVDs or with any of CBS or Paramount Pictures’ licensees.

The fan production must be non-commercial:

CBS and Paramount Pictures do not object to limited fundraising for the creation of a fan production, whether 1 or 2 segments and consistent with these guidelines, so long as the total amount does not exceed $50,000, including all platform fees, and when the $50,000 goal is reached, all fundraising must cease.

The fan production must only be exhibited or distributed on a no-charge basis and/or shared via streaming services without generating revenue.

The fan production cannot be distributed in a physical format such as DVD or Blu-ray.

The fan production cannot be used to derive advertising revenue including, but not limited to, through for example, the use of pre or post-roll advertising, click-through advertising banners, that is associated with the fan production.

No unlicensed Star Trek-related or fan production-related merchandise or services can be offered for sale or given away as premiums, perks or rewards or in connection with the fan production fundraising.

The fan production cannot derive revenue by selling or licensing fan-created production sets, props or costumes.

The fan production must be family friendly and suitable for public presentation. Videos must not include profanity, nudity, obscenity, pornography, depictions of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or any harmful or illegal activity, or any material that is offensive, fraudulent, defamatory, libelous, disparaging, sexually explicit, threatening, hateful, or any other inappropriate content. The content of the fan production cannot violate any individual’s right of privacy.

The fan production must display the following disclaimer in the on-screen credits of the fan productions and on any marketing material including the fan production website or page hosting the fan production:

“Star Trek and all related marks, logos and characters are solely owned by CBS Studios Inc. This fan production is not endorsed by, sponsored by, nor affiliated with CBS, Paramount Pictures, or any other Star Trek franchise, and is a non-commercial fan-made film intended for recreational use. No commercial exhibition or distribution is permitted. No alleged independent rights will be asserted against CBS or Paramount Pictures.”

Creators of fan productions must not seek to register their works, nor any elements of the works, under copyright or trademark law.

Fan productions cannot create or imply any association or endorsement by CBS or Paramount Pictures.

CBS and Paramount Pictures reserve the right to revise, revoke and/or withdraw these guidelines at any time in their own discretion. These guidelines are not a license and do not constitute approval or authorization of any fan productions or a waiver of any rights that CBS or Paramount Pictures may have with respect to fan fiction created outside of these guidelines.

Of course no actors were paid, the time limit per episode, and the $50,000 seems limiting, and low, it took $100,000 just for 4 episodes(1-4) according to the wiki, the limit seems to be there to keep any series down to 4 half hour or 8 fifteen minute episodes max.

Well We'll see what happens with CBS and Discovery, which could be a Flop.


From what I understand, which could be wrong, the series premier will be on TV while
subsequent episodes will be on CBS All Access - the CBS streaming app. (And, if I'm
not mistaken, whenever you try to access CBS All Access, they want you to tell them
which cable/satellite service you use. If you don't have cable/satellite, your S.O.L.)
