Has she lost her mind?
As President Trump was delivering his third State of the Union Address, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi crossed the line and ripped up Trump’s speech which raised a lot of eyebrows.
Now, according to the Gateway Pundit, after the SOTU address reporters asked Pelosi as to why she decided to tear up President Trump’s speech. As she was leaving Pelosi foolishly replied, “Because it was the courteous thing to do.”

Hurd Remains Undefeated With Sixth-Round TKO Over Dan In Philadelphia!
(Photos by Kent Green)
Accokeek, MD super welterweight "Swift" Jarrett Hurd continued his streak of impressive victories with a sixth-round TKO of former world title contender Jo Jo Dan of Montreal, Quebec, Canada Saturday night at the Temple University Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, PA. The bout was televised nationally by Spike TV.
Hurd never knocked Dan down but he battered Dan throughout the bout, eventually forcing the Romanian-born boxer's corner to ask referee Benjy Esteves, Jr. to stop the bout at 1:06 of the sixth round.
Hurd is now 19-0, 13 KO's while Dan falls to 35-4, 18 KO's. Hurd has knocked out his last five opponents, who had a combined won-loss record of 93-14-5. Four of those opponents were undefeated when they faced Hurd.

The Committee for Golf Club Salaries are recommending chunky pay rises for staff and greenkeepers. We reveal the numbers…
Golf clubs who want to produce course standards at the “level golfers have come to expect” must make salaries an attractive proposition for staff.
That’s the view of the Committee for Golf Club Salaries, who are recommending some chunky increases in wages across the industry.
The CGCS believes golf clubs should be giving all staff a 7 per cent increase in 2024 and, with an increase in the National Living Wage arriving in April, they’ve also suggested assistant greenkeeper salaries increase by nine per cent.
The body, which comprises representatives of the British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association, the Golf Club Managers’ Association, and independent golf club experts, arrived at the figures following “extensive research” which took geographical regions, facility sizes, core responsibilities, club ratings, and qualifications and experience into account.
The golf industry has been embroiled in a staffing crisis in recent years, with NCG reporting at the end of 2022 that some clubs did not have enough personnel to keep their clubhouses open as long as they wanted.
Staffing issues have been particularly marked in greenkeeping since the coronavirus pandemic with a BIGGA survey showing a third of greenkeepers had considered leaving the profession.
Committee for Golf Club Salaries: ‘Highly trained staff are critical to the continuing success of golf’
Wages, pressures of the job, along with a re-evaluation of life goals since the start of Covid-19 had reportedly driven some lower paid staff out of the industry.
The CGCS said while it was aware of the need for clubs to ensure staff were suitably paid and valued by employers, it was also aware “that employee reward and retention must be balanced alongside the affordability and financial health of the business”.
But John Pearson, Membership Services Manager for BIGGA’s South East Region, and who represents BIGGA on the CGCS, added that – in terms of greenkeeping – the industry had to use salaries to encourage the “recruitment and retention of staff”.
He explained: “Our hope is that trained golf club staff take these recommendations to their senior management team and have open and professional conversations about salaries and other employee benefits, such as training and development opportunities.
“Highly trained staff are critical to the continuing success of golf, from the grassroots through to elite championship level, and we were heartened to hear that more than 16 million people enjoyed playing some form of golf in the past year.
“Golf is experiencing a boom and these recommendations go some way towards recognising those who have helped make it possible.
“Today’s greenkeepers are highly trained, knowledgeable members of the golf club structure and if course standards are to be maintained at the level golfers have come to expect, the industry must be an attractive proposition with regards to salaries and working conditions to encourage the recruitment and retention of staff.”
Now have your say
Should clubs stump up more to keep staff and make golf club jobs more attractive? Will your club implement these Committee for Golf Club Salaries recommendations? Let me know with a comment on X.

People’s deputy and OU representative Yuri Klyuchkovskyi has expressed his surprise at the behavior of the speaker.
He stressed that the Verkhovna Rada had taken the provocative decision. “Today you propose to take the provocative decision, you propose to call for the president to come to the Verkhovna Rada,” he said.
Klyuchkovskyi said that it proved that the speaker was not aware of the rules of communication of the president and the parliament. The deputy asked Moroz to curb his ambition and co-ordinate the question of the presidential visit directly with the president.

Venus the goddess of love has the ability to make you beautiful from the inside out and desirable. People would come to her when they needed her to conjure up a potent elixir passion potion toward her intended target. She knew that there was more to doing things than simply magic she had to direct her energy and intention along with the energy of the seeker. They knew the abilities of Goddess Venus alchemy and wanted to Demonstrate the results of its intended subject. They have long been striving to Conjure a concoction that will allow the attended target to see the beauty within and to make them more desirable than before that they will constantly be longing for their lost love.
They had been working on it for longer than they could remember and though they have had some remarkable success, they had never created what they wanted…a spell that could literally alter how one perceived themselves and allowed them to do things like overcome their perceived flaws and be brave in the face of challenges that they before thought insurmountable.

For the past several years musicians Jonas Munk and Nicklas Sørensen have had a productive collaboration going. Munk, who is co-runner of record label El Paraiso Records(as well as playing guitar in Causa Sui and releasing electronic music under the Manual moniker and under his own name), produced Sørensen’s first two solo LPs(titled Solo 1 and Solo 2 respectively.) Sørensen is also the guitarist in the three-piece powerhouse Papir(Munk produced a good portion of Papir’s records as well.) These collaborations over the years proved that Munk and Sørensen worked well together. They seemed to be on the same creative wavelength, and pulling influence and inspiration from similar places(Berlin School, American minimalist composers, and Krautrock to name a few.)
A full-on collaborative LP seemed like the next logical step.
Over the course of coffee-fueled morning jam sessions, afternoon dinners with lagers, and then back to the studio for more improvisations between guitar and synth till the evening the duo created the heady and dense Always Already Here. Guitar and synth building patterns that create a maze-like effect, drawing the listener in and letting them explore and discover different ways in and out with each listen. It’s truly a special listening experience.
I reached out to Jonas and Nicklas to see if they’d be interested in talking about the record and they were happy to talk about the process behind Always Already Here.
J. Hubner: ‘Always Already Here’ is an amazing album. Going into writing and recording for the record who or what were some sonic hallmarks you two used as a foundation for this record?
Jonas Munk: Thank you! I think it turned our very well. This album builds on my two solo records on El Paraiso (Pan and Absorb/Fabric/Cascade) as well as on Nicklas Sørensen’s two solo records (Solo 1 and 2). There’s quite a wide range of influences on those records, but for this collbaboration I think we both were pretty focused on exploring what you might call American classical minimalism and pattern music more deeply than on previous albums. I also knew I’d be bringing some modern sounds to the table and venture into sonic territory perhaps more closely associated with current experimental electronic music. We certainly didn’t intend to take the time machine back to the 1970s, although we’re building on styles that were developed back then.
Nicklas Sørensen: Yeah, when it comes to the sound,I think it sounds pretty much like a mix between Jonas’ and my solo records, which is of course not surprising at all since Jonas has been responsible for the mix on all of it and working in details with every bit of sound. The more academic concepts of American minimalism and pairing it with different kinds of loosely psychedelic references was obviously an important part of the foundation for this project.
J. Hubner: How do you two approach working together? What was the process like when recording ‘Always Already Here’? Is morning or evening your more creative time?
Jonas Munk: Usually Nicklas arrives with the morning train from Copenhagen around 9:00. We brew a pot of coffee or some good Japanese sencha while the preamp tubes and synthesizers are warming up, and we work for six or seven hours, go out for some nice food and a beer or two, and work for three or four hours again in the evening. We try not to overthink everything and just get stuff done rather quickly, since there’s usually several weeks between these sessions. We almost always complete one track in a full days work(mixing excluded), and that’s simply not possible if you wanna try out three different synthesizers for each part before deciding on which works better, and stuff like that. For a project like this I think it’s more important to get a good flow going and make some quick decisions along the way.
Nicklas Sørensen: That sums it up. What I like about this process of creating is to get into a continuous flow of experimenting with a lot of different sounds without losing touch with the focus of the overall compositions and forms. It’s a pretty rewarding process in itself.
J. Hubner: This record feels very mathematical. Not in a stuffy, analytical way. But more like these songs were formulas and theorems being solved. Repetition and looping lines that become almost hypnotic. What was the editing process like once you had these jams recorded? Was there a lot of pulling pieces out and sticking them elsewhere? Or was it a very organic process?
Jonas Munk: There wasn’t a lot of editing afterwards, although mixing always takes some time. We try to get the basic structure figured out rather quickly, and for three out of the five tracks on the album we recorded some basic tracks live – Nicklas on guitar, me fiddling around with synth sequences – which gave those tracks a very natural feel, even though lots of stuff was added later. In ”Shift” there was a little bit of rearranging, like ”let’s copy that pattern and put it at the end with a filter on it”, and so on. You can go nuts with that stuff and explore possibilities endlessly, but we wanted to maintain a very organic feel and stick to the dynamics of the initial recordings. Some of the compositions are pretty complex though, especiallly from a rhytmic perspective, and it was a challenge building these multi-layered structures without creating a sonic mess of everything. I don’t think I would have been able to pull it off five years ago.
J. Hubner: How does a project like ‘Always Already Here’ differ from ‘Solo 2′? Nicolas’ last solo LP felt like a very collaborative record between you two.
Nicklas Sørensen: The recordings processes are very much alike. But for this record I think we were probably more focused on finding common ground in the conversations we had before we even started recording anything. I also think the amounts of synths and guitars are more equally balanced on this one, whereas my solo records tends to favour a very clear theme-based lead guitar as a guideline through most of the songs.
Jonas Munk: Some of the tracks on Solo 1 and Solo 2 were very much collaborations indeed. When we’d done “2.5′
“(from Solo 2) I knew we’d have to do an album’s worth of material in that direction at some point.
J. Hubner: If you could name one album someone should immediately go out and locate once they dig into ‘Always Already Here’ and are blow away, what would that be?
Jonas Munk: Steve Reich’s Music For Mallet Instruments, Voices and Organ.
Nicklas Sørensen: Ashra’s New Age of Earth.
J. Hubner: What else would you two like to explore musically? Or is that something you can’t answer until you’re in the thick of recording and seeing where the vibes are heading?
Jonas Munk: Right now this album feels very much like a conclusion to the solo albums that came before it. Besides, I think it would be very hard to top this one – at least if we were to do something in a similar direction.
Nicklas Sørensen: I agree. It would probably make sense to make something completely different next time.

It was just past 3:30 a.m., about halfway through Deputy Joseph Lopez's overnight shift, when a black sedan smashed head-on into his patrol car.
The State Patrol is investigating the accident. Lt. Mark Peterson says it appears the driver of the sedan was traveling eastbound in a westbound lane. According to the accident report, when the two cars collided the passenger side of Lopez's patrol car took the brunt of the impact.
"Unfortunately, the rider with Deputy Lopez was his wife, and she did not survive the crash," Peterson says.
It wasn't typical for 56-year-old Maggie Lopez to ride with her husband during his patrol shift. Officials with the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office say Mrs. Lopez had gotten permission to participate in a law enforcement ride-along.
Spokeswoman Holli Drinkwine says ride-alongs are open to just about anyone who asks to go on one.
Every police agency typically does ride-alongs ... We obviously want the public to be educated about what our law enforcement officials do.Ramsey County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Holli Drinkwine
"Every police agency typically does ride-alongs, and she was on a ride-along with him that evening. We obviously want the public to be educated about what our law enforcement officials do," said Drinkwine.
Asked whether in this case the ride-along was just a chance for the couple to be together on a holiday, Drinkwine said, "You know, I can't answer that. I would assume that she was on a ride-along understanding what her husband does."
Drinkwine doesn't have any information on how often spouses participate in ride-alongs. But she says she does not think it's uncommon.
Lt. Mark Peterson of the Minnesota State Patrol says he does not think it was at all unusual that Deputy Lopez's wife took part in a ride-along. He says ride-alongs are also very common at his agency. "As a member of the State Patrol I arranged ride-alongs for two media [representatives] last night for us. I've had riders with me many times," Peterson says.
Deputy Joseph Lopez, 61, is recovering at home from minor injuries suffered in the crash. Lopez is a long-time member of the department. Spokeswoman Holli Drinkwine says Lopez trains many of the new deputies in his division, and he is held in high esteem by all of his colleagues.
"He's very highly respected. He's been with our department for 27 years. He's a veteran and very-well respected within the patrol division and within the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office."
Drinkwine says the sheriff's office grieves the loss of Lopez's wife as one of their own. Drinkwine says she doesn't know if the department will make any changes to its ride-along policy as a result of the accident.

It could soon be possible to speak without vocal cords, as engineers are focusing on a square-inch device that can help people regain their voice.
This could be extremely beneficial for people with pathological vocal cord conditions or those who are recovering from laryngeal cancer surgery as this tiny new patch is being developed by engineers at the University of California.
In a journal published in Nature Communications last week (Mar. 12), the researchers outlined their invention and the results of testing the device on eight adults.
They describe the wearable tool as being a “self-powered sensing-actuation system” based on soft magnetoelasticity to enable assisted speaking. It works by patients articulating sentences through muscle movements that are usually used in regular speech or lip-synching.
The sensing component of the device then recognizes the movements without the vibration of vocal folds. Electrical signals are then fed to a pre-trained machine-learning model that converts throat movement into voice signals.
Other solutions for helping people without vocal cords to speak are available but these largely include handheld electro-larynx devices or tracheoesophageal-puncture procedures. Both of these options could be considered to be inconvenient and uncomfortable.
How does it work?
The system was attached to the throat of the participants and data on laryngeal muscle movement was collected, with a machine-learning algorithm used to correlate the resulting signals to specific words.
The research team had the patients pronounce five sentences – both out loud and voicelessly – including ‘I don’t trust you’ and ‘I love you.’ Each person had to repeat the five sentences 100 times for data collection purposes.
The overall prediction accuracy of the model was 94.68%, working well across the different people involved.
Going forward, the research team plans to expand the vocabulary of the device through machine learning and test their findings in people with speech disorders.

Liverpool whip West Ham 4-1
Liverpool won at West Ham 4-1, and it was no coincidence that Sadio Mane was back in action in the English Premier League on Saturday.
The result marked the first time Liverpool recorded back-to-back league victories since August.
Mane, who missed Liverpool's last five games with a hamstring injury, set up both of Mohamed Salah's goals. Joel Matip and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also found the net.
The victory lifted Liverpool to level on points with Chelsea and Arsenal, who face tough challenges against Manchester United, and City, respectively, today.
West Ham started brightly and wasted a chance to take the lead early when Andre Ayew struck the post after Manuel Lanzini's pass deflected into his path.
Liverpool's opener came when West Ham was least expecting it. The home side were looking to score as they took a corner, but the ball was in the net at the other end just 13 seconds later.
Salah flicked a clearance into Mane's path, releasing the Senegal winger into space before he returned the ball to Salah on the edge of the penalty area to finish calmly past goalkeeper Joe Hart.
Less than three minutes later, the lead was doubled. Matip tapped into an empty net after Hart initially prevented an own goal with a fine save.
West Ham got back into the game 10 minutes after the break. Ayew, this time, crossed to Lanzini at the back post, and Lanzini controlled the ball expertly on his chest before poking a smart finish past Simon Mignolet.
However, hope for West Ham lasted just 55 seconds.
Liverpool's two-goal lead was restored as Oxlade-Chamberlain squeezed a shot past Hart after the keeper kept out his initial effort.
Salah completed the rout 15 minutes from the end, receiving the ball from Mane before driving a powerful effort across goal into the bottom corner.
After an embarrassing 3-0 loss to Brighton in their last home league game, West Ham's display did little to relieve the increasing pressure on manager Slaven Bilic.
The Hammers dropped to 17th, with just a point separating them from the relegation zone.
Other results: Stoke City 2 Leicester 2; Huddersfield 1 West Brom 0; Newcastle 0 Bournemouth 1; Southampton 0 Burnley 1; Swansea 0 Brighton 1; West Ham 1 Liverpool 4.

Nandi County PR efforts seem not to bore any fruits as most news appearing from the county shows ineptitude, corruption and embezzlement of funds. What makes the county to look good is the news of selfless heroic ancestors, gold, silver and bronze medalists reigning in Olympics and Marathon athletics.
Just a month to go to the effect of National and County staff pay increase where all civil servants will enjoy the SRC’s recommended pay rise, Nandi residents and citizens of various counties with poorly rated service delivery will lose value of their taxes. The Salaries and Remuneration Commission has graded jobs in the entire public service into 19 categories, with the lowest employee in grade B1 earning a minimum of 14,442 and top earners in E4 getting a starting salary at 292,765.Over 600,000 workers, for the first time in the devolved system of governments, will enjoy the new pay structure that is competitive in job progression, unlike the previous structure that saw many stuck as promotions were dished based on nepotism, bribery and cronyism rather than qualifications.
In the recent daily newspaper, Nandi County was ranked the worst in service delivery! Nandi County Public Service Board which is the body mandated to employ staff by qualifications and merit – but whose officials have instead dealt a blow to innocent residents by employing quacks, relatives and friends without following legal mechanisms pertaining to recruitment processes – has created too many mouths to feed, with little experience and skills rendered.
See also: Five People To Blame
At the center of poor service delivery in Nandi is one secretary general of NCPSB Esther Chelagat Letting who runs virtually everything going in and out of the recruitment department and finally into the county’s payroll. She is supposed to be held responsible for the poor services derailing progress and development of Nandi County, some of which have appeared on national newspapers! Until then, she doesn’t have the moral standing to seek any seat in Nandi County where she’s currently serving yet there’s nothing to celebrate in her tenure!
County Have Your Say!

The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) announced yesterday, November 24, that it had arrested three men who allegedly shot into a crowd of people protesting the police killing of Jamar Clark in front of the 4th police precinct building. Five protestors were wounded in the shooting by three masked men whom Black Lives Matter—Minneapolis activists have described as White supremacists.
Allen Lawrence “Lance” Scarsella III, 23 was arrested in nearby Bloomington. Nathan Gustavsson, 21, and Daniel Macey, 26, turned themselves in. All three suspects are White. Officers had previously arrested another man, but let him go after determining that he was not present at the time of the shooting.
The StarTribune reports that the department has not yet decided it if will treat the shooting as a hate crime. MPD spokesperson Kyle Loven told press that the FBI—which is investigating Clark’s death—is “aware of the incident and is coordinating with the Minneapolis Police Department to assess the facts and determine if [it warrants] further federal action.”

Derby County are on the lookout for a new manager after the departure of Phillip Cocu during the international break.
The former Rams boss left the club by mutual consent, with a management team of Wayne Rooney, Liam Rosenior, Shay Given and Justin Walker taking up the reins on an interim basis.
A new manager is not expected to be announced until the takeover by Sheikh Khaled bin Zayed Al Nehayan is completed, but that hasn’t stopped speculation over who may take the position.
One of the names said to be on the list is Swansea City manager Steve Cooper.
However, according to Alan Nixon in the Sun, clubs, including Derby, have been put off by the ‘seven figures’ fee that it would take to get the manager out of his contract at the Liberty Stadium.
Swansea are currently in fourth position in the table, two points adrift of Norwich City at the summit, having picked up 22 points from their opening 12 games.
The Swans beat Rotherham 1-0 win their last outing on Saturday afternoon.
Speaking of the links to Derby earlier in the week, Cooper didn’t give much away.
"I'm not one for, with respect, reading and looking at media," he told WalesOnline.

Meanwhile, the Rams are back in action on Wednesday night when they travel to Middlesbrough in the Championship as they look to move off the bottom of the league table.

Ever wondered how to know how stretchy your knit fabric should be for one of our patterns? Turn over the envelope and see our Pick-A-Knit guide. This tip helps whether you’re making T-shirts, stretchy dresses, sportswear or lounge wear!
The “Pick a Knit Rule” works like this: For knits, take the recommended length of the knit fabric and stretch it against the measurement line. It should stretch to the furthest point. And spring back into shape afterwards.
Video not loading? Read ahead to see this in action!
Using a fabric that matches our recommended guide, means that your finished garment will have the recommended amount of wearing ease and replicate the finished measurements we list on our tissue sheets.
Of course you can choose a fabric with a slightly different amount of stretch if you feel confident, but remember if the fabric is too stiff you may not be able to get inside your garment! Or if it’s too stretchy, the garment could end up baggy and loose. So choose your fabric wisely.
Sewing patterns that have been designed for knits will have our stretch gauge on the envelope to help you measure a 10cm aka 4in piece of fabric’s crosswise stretch to check for distortion. In this tutorial I’ve cut a strip of fabric to use in my test, but you can just measure 10cm in from the selvedge and use that point to test your fabric if you’re stood in the fabric shop!
Holding the fabric with your left hand on the end of the guide, stretch the fabric to see if it easily reaches the right hand point. As mentioned above it shouldn’t stretch too far beyond the end of the guide.
Then when you let go of the right hand side you’ll want to see your fabric spring back to the right length without any distortion of the print, colours or fabric. Many fabrics are printed on top of plain white fabric which can be revealed as the fabric stretches and you won’t want to see a sign of this underneath. Similarly if you have a symmetrical print like these polka dots, you don’t want the shapes to appear oval or uneven when the fabric springs back.
And there you have it! A simple way to know how to pick the perfect knit fabric for you sewing pattern. There are so many types of knits to pick from: jersey, interlock, Ponte Roma, sweatshirting and many more. Set yourself up for success by choosing the perfect stretch percentage before you start sewing!

According to US media reports,The mysterious metal object that appeared in the Utah desert has been removed.
After Utah's Department of public safety first discovered the object during a helicopter air patrol in a remote area of Southern Utah, enthusiasts on reddit tried to find out the origin of the boulder. First they found the boulder on Google Earth, and then they used historical imaging data to try to find out when the object first appeared in the desert.
According to the previous pictures, the mysterious metal looks like it grew from the ground up. As for its appearance, it is still an unsolved mystery.
Utah's public security agency shared the story on the Facebook, saying:

The United States’ civil service could fairly be described as the branch of the Democratic Party that does not have the inconvenience of standing for election.
Equating Western civilization and values with fascism and racism, once relegated to the leftist fringe, is increasingly prevalent among liberals.
Two days before an assassination attempt on Republicans, the NRA posted a video on Facebook warning of leftist violence. Progressive journalists are now pretending political violence is the NRA’s fault.
There isn’t much to be gained from re-prosecuting the crimes of Nazis or their accomplices. But that doesn’t mean it’s OK to whitewash history.

Albert Kim is VP of Sales & Marketing at SOTA Imaging. Dustin Johnson is Director of Engineering at SOTA Imaging.
This week, Dr. Glenn Vo and Jim sat down with Dustin Johnson, Director of Engineering at SOTA Imaging, and Albert Kim, SOTA’s VP of Sales & Marketing, to talk all about recent dental questions.
Albert and Dustin might be new to the group—but they’re quickly gaining a reputation. And rightfully so! These guys know all about sales, but their products and services almost make their jobs easy!
Fun fact: It’s a misconception that SOTA is a Japanese word; it actually stands for “State of the Art.” SOTA Imaging is an American-based company that’s run a few rodeos—they’ve been around for around 30 years!
SOTA has designed all sorts of optics for various industries—Medical, Aerospace, etc.—since 1993. About ten years ago, SOTA segued into dentistry.
With the production of SOTA’s proprietary cameras such as the Claris i310, one of the first USB intraoral cameras on the market, and the award-winning Claris i4D, SOTA has developed the technology—from optics to ergonomics—to provide dental practitioners with the most advanced intraoral camera to date: the Claris i5HD Intraoral Camera.
In this week’s episode, you’ll be hearing all about their all-new all-aluminum model: the Claris i5HD Intraoral Camera.
If you aren’t already familiar with the Claris i5HD Intraoral Camera, it’s a beaut with an adjustable focus that trumps its competition. There’s nothing cheap or plastic about it, with industrial-level technology that’ll last years and years.
In fact, the Claris camera can get you down to 2mm away from the surface of whatever you’re trying to take a picture of.
Another big highlight for this week’s episode was Dustin and Albert’s showcasing of SOTA Imaging’s fully-integrated Clio Digital X-Ray sensors: the Clio Prime and Clio Pedo sensors.
These puppies are produced in a foundry where they have to produce silicon wafers—they’re rare, with only so many in the world. And, to add a cherry on top, these sensors are upgraded versions of other high-end dental technology (such as the Dexis Platinum).
With such sophisticated technology, it should come as no surprise that both of these sensors are equipped with next-gen CMOS fiber optic technology with Csl Scintillators. This allows SOTA to provide dental practices far and wide with the largest active area plates in the industry.
The nuances of the all-new all-aluminum Claris i5HD Intraoral Camera and why—according to Dustin—it’s like comparing a Tesla to a Toyota Yaris.
Hint: both he and Dr. Glenn Vo agree that might be “too generous” of a reference…
So… What comparison did they settle on?
What’s the one simple trick you can use to improve your imaging quality, according to Dustin?
How might the Claris i5HD Intraoral Camera camera pay for itself?
How is SOTA different from other imaging software companies in the market?
What are some of the new features you’ve never seen before?
Glenn Vo wants to let you know that this camera is top-of-the-line for a middle-of-the-pack price. But you can count on a killer Nifty Thrifty deal to cut down this already-affordable price tag.
In fact, Albert said the SOTA team has arranged an “aggressively” good deal for the Nifty Thrifty community—but it’s a bit of a (popular) emergency: the deal only stands until the end of this year (December 31st, 2021)!
FREE 5-year warranty with NO HIDDEN FEES!
FREE software if you buy the sensors and sign up for a program called SOTA Care (different from SOTA Cloud) that only costs $49 a month.
With a price like that, it’ll make up for itself within a matter of months!

Since this site was conceived more than a decade ago, Itinerant Fan’s mission has been to provide guides to each of the stadiums in the four major U.S. sports leagues. In other words, if it wasn’t in Canada, international sports experiences weren’t really on my radar.
As the years have passed, though, my horizons have broadened. My interest in sports abroad — European soccer in particular — has grown by leaps and bounds. And, as the feedback I often get from readers can attest, so have the interests of this site’s audience.
This meshes well with the way sports have grown internationally, as well. The NFL has regularly played games in London and in Mexico City during the last decade-plus, and is beginning to expand outside those realms as part of its International Series. The NBA and NHL have done the same, in cities like Paris, Prague and Stockholm.
While not frequent, Major League Baseball has brought its game to Tokyo, Melbourne and London in recent years.
This works both ways, too, with the biggest clubs in European soccer coming Stateside to play exhibition matches. Just look at the groundswell of interest for the Barcelona-vs.-Real Madrid El Clásico that took place at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium last month.
American fans have certainly taken a shine to traveling to these far-flung locales in pursuit of watching their favorite team. The NFL games abroad are the perfect example of this.
In 2019, I traveled to Mexico City to watch the Chiefs-Chargers tilt at Estadio Azteca. Beforehand, I wondered what kind of audience would come to the game — whether it would be all locals, all Americans or an even mix. Anecdotally, I found it was the latter — and at that point it hit me that there was value in providing insight on attending international sporting events.
After all, if I’m making the effort to do it, lots of other fans are, too.
To that end, I’m proud to unveil an addition to the Stadium Guides page on Itinerant Fan: The international tab.
Previously, every guide written for this site has been for stadiums used in the four major leagues: The NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball, as well as a handful for venues in college football, college basketball and Major League Soccer.
That changed last month when we unveiled our first international guide. Appropriately enough, it’s for Estadio Azteca, the venue in Mexico City that helped changed my outlook on international sports travel.
While the NFL games abroad are of particular focus, we hope to continue covering sites that would be of interest to American sports fans — not just places the domestic leagues are traveling to, but also venues of some of the world’s most popular clubs.
In fact, I just returned from a trip to the United Kingdom, where I visited several major stadium. You can bet that they all will be the focus of stadium guides that hopefully will be unveiled soon.
So stay tuned! You’ll see more on international stadiums in the very near future, and we’re making plans to travel to even more down the road. Because as I’ve learned over the last few years, checking off stadiums abroad is just as rewarding as visiting those bucket-list venues at home.


DETROIT -- General Motors has acquired lidar company Strobe Inc., a move expected to help boost self-driving vehicle production and slash cost on lidar units 99 percent.
"As the cost of our self-driving vehicles declines, we'll be able to accelerate the rate of vehicle production and more quickly roll out our technology to suburban and rural areas where ride sharing is less common today," Kyle Vogt, CEO of GM's Cruise Automation self-driving subsidiary, wrote Monday in a post on online publishing website Medium.
The value of the transaction, which occurred last week, was not disclosed. GM shares, which have been trading at or near post-bankruptcy highs for the last several days, rose 0.9 percent to close the day at $45.33.
Lidar is seen as a key technology for the mass deployment of autonomous vehicles. It uses light to create high-resolution images that provide a more accurate view of the world than cameras or radar alone.
Strobe, of Pasadena, Calif., has "quietly been building the leading next-generation," chip-scale lidars that "will significantly enhance the capabilities" of GM's self-driving cars, said Vogt.
As part of the acquisition, eleven people from Strobe, including its engineering team, will join Cruise Automation, which GM acquired in early 2016.
GM, according to company spokesman Dan Pierce, has been interested in increasing its internal lidar expertise "for many months."
"We met with the Strobe team a few months ago to gain an understanding of their expertise and decided it was in GM and Cruise's best interest to pursue an acquisition," he wrote in an email to Automotive News.
GM is currently testing more than 100 self-driving Chevrolet Bolt EVs in Arizona, California and Michigan. The vehicles do not currently use Strobe's lidar technology.
Cruise Automation is now on its third-generation test vehicle, which Vogt has touted as "the first real self-driving car." It remains unclear how many of each generation of the self-driving vehicles are being tested.

Very cool to see all of the Botero sculptures. Lots of history here. Took a guided walking tour that gave a great background of the city and the country.

It's worth checking this place out, but be aware that it's very touristy with tons of vendors and people asking for money. It seemed safe enough while we were there, but it is a place I would not be comfortable being at after dark.

Two weeks after Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc across the Northeast, and more than a week after power returned to Lower Manhattan, many public housing residents in Brooklyn’s Coney Island were still without electricity, heat and hot water. Critically for some, many high-rise buildings still lacked elevator service, leaving the elderly and disabled stranded as many as 15 stories up. Though FEMA, the Red Cross and the city government all eventually set up shop on the ground in the low-income neighborhood, the work of reaching those trapped inside was left to passionate community activists, including church leaders, tenant organizations, a group known as Occupy Sandy, and a small related group called People’s Relief.

Stunning breakfast by the river at Waterberry lodge. Really don't want to leave this place, the people are so special and caring as well as humble, funny and incredibly kind. We left at 930am with our dedicated driver for the day, Bonface, and headed off to the Royal Livingstone hotel for a tour of Livi island and the falls. As we walked through the hotel reception and out onto the lawn, we were feeling a little uncomfortable - it's a five star hotel with lots of rich business types swanning around, all dressed in their finery, and mingling like a royal garden party. We, on the other hand, were not. The hotel was nowhere near as charming as our Waterberry, but the view out over the Zambezi river was spectacular. Bonface took us down to the boat jetty, where we once again signed our indemnities and listened to a brief safety talk from one of the boatmen. Lifejackets on, and seated at the back of a small motorboat, we zoomed over the river on a 5 minute ride to the island where two more guides were waiting for us with a strange banana-based local drink.
|ready for a dip in the Angel's pool|
We stripped down to our pants and vests and gingerly stepped down into the water on the edge of the drop; a spot called Angel's pool. It was a little chilly, but refreshing.
After our quick dip, more photos were taken and towels provided, before we were shown to a tent for our second luxury breakfast of the day. We sat next to a couple of guys from Portsmouth who work for a teaching charity in Lusaka. They were on a tourist weekend to the falls and equally as affected by the experience as we were.
Stuffed and still sat in soggy pants, we took the boat back to the hotel where Bonface was waiting with our dry clothes and we set off for Marumba local market in Livingstone town. Another eye-opener… all locals dry their fish in Zambia to ensure it keeps for longer, as most homes are without fridges. Soap is made in long slabs and people buy a slice, sized according to their budget. Coffee and sugar is sold the same way and measured from a large bag. Small bags of coffee, sufficient for just 2 cups are stacked on racks for people to buy. Coloured powder is used for polishing the floors of their homes and there are endless stalls of second hand westerners clothes and shoes. We bought Chitenga material to take home before we left and I was once again glad for having a blocked nose… the clouds of flies around the fish stalls were unbearable.
The plan was to go to Olga’s for lunch, but since we were both still too stuffed from our double breakfast to eat any more, we sat in the garden with beer and let Bonface have our pizza as a take out for his dinner. He was beaming.
The afternoon was spent at an elephant centre learning all about the gentle giants on an hour long safari further out in the park. All the Eles were either orphaned or found. I was riding Sekouti (meaning chief). He is 8 years old and was found on an island in the middle of the river as a tiny baby. They believe his family reached the safety of the far bank when crossing the river and assumed he had drowned. Tracey was riding Marula, he was orphaned as a result of a culling many years ago and the people responsible didn’t feel able to kill such a tiny baby, so they bottled-reared him instead and he ended up at the centre. The 10 elephants resident at the centre will unfortunately never be able to roam free given their sad start in life, but one of them was once kidnapped by a passing wild bachelor group when she was in oestrous, but she returned some 8 months later on her own - much to the relief of the handlers.
When we eventually got back to Waterberry, we chilled with beer before dinner on the decking and then red wine round the campfire chatting with our guide Webster. Our waiter, Wilson, did a cracking job of topping up our glasses til long into the evening. What an unforgettable day.

Kamala Harris, the ‘running mate’ of Joe Biden has no minimal ethics or even shame, when it’s a question of benefit – be it financial, political or otherwise. Since her early age, Kamala Harris has been a real opportunity-hunter who would do anything for the sake of attaining her target. For this particular reason, Harris had no problem in dating with San Francisco’s powerful politician Willie Brown. When Kamala began dating with Willie, she was just 29 while Willie was 60 and married.
Kamala Harris dated San Francisco’s first black mayor Willie Brown in the 1990s, while he was still married but separated from his wife. Willie was 31 years older than Kamala and during the campaign of Willie Brown, the ambitious Kamala Harris was in ‘constant company’ of the powerful politician, while during night, she spent several hours at Willie’s bedroom.
Willie Brown was notorious for his love of sports cars, flash designer suits and for being named one of the world’s 10 sexiest men by Playgirl magazine. He had also been seen with a ‘succession’ of beautiful women despite having been married for 25 years, being dubbed ‘the real Slick Willy’ by Bill Clinton.
As Willie Brown’s ‘new steady’ Kamala Harris soon found herself rubbing shoulders with many of California’s political movers and shakers.
Willie had presented a BMW car to Kamala, during their relationship. But the much attractive gifs were the two influential positions Willie had given to Kamala.
When DailyMail.com reached out to Blanche Brown to ask what she thought of Kamala Harris being named as Biden’s presidential running mate she broke into laughter – meaning, she has clearly signaled – this ‘running mate’ of Biden will ultimately push him towards unimaginable jeopardy.
When Harris announced her failed presidential bid in January 2019, Willie Brown penned a column for the San Francisco Chronicle entitled: ‘Sure, I dated Kamala Harris, So what?’
‘I’ve been peppered with calls from the national media about my ‘relationship’ with Kamala Harris, particularly since it became obvious that she was going to run for president. Most of them, I have not returned,’ wrote Brown, now aged 86.
‘Yes, we dated. It was more than 20 years ago. Yes, I may have influenced her career by appointing her to two state commissions when I was Assembly speaker.
‘And I certainly helped with her first race for district attorney in San Francisco. I have also helped the careers of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Gov. Gavin Newsom, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and a host of other politicians.
‘The difference is that Harris is the only one who, after I helped her, sent word that I would be indicted if I ‘so much as jaywalked’ while she was D.A. That’s politics for ya.’
And now – Willie Brown’s old date, Kamala Harris is going to step into the White House soon. There is no doubt, those who would look for a ‘channel’ or lobbyist to reach Joe Biden via Kamala Harris – will for sure – use Willie Brown as a useful ‘matchmaker’.
