A very prominent lawyer was caught on live TV screaming about “women who expose their legs, wearing ripped jeans.” He was adamant that it is the duty of men, who see a woman exposing any part of her legs, to immediately approach her and do something so vile and disgusting, it’s blowing people’s minds. As the leftists make excuses for terrorism, this lawyer proves liberals are playing with fire. You don’t want to miss this.
Nabih al-Wahsh, a prominent Muslim lawyer in Egypt, was caught on live TV, talking about what a Muslim man’s patriotic duty is concerning women who show their legs in public. The panel was debating a draft law on prostitution and “inciting debauchery” when Wahsh made the jaw-dropping comments.
According to the New York Post, during the heated debate, Wahsh asked, “Are you happy when you see a girl walking down the street with half of her behind showing?” before adding, “I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her.”
His controversial remarks prompted fury across the country, and Egypt’s National Council for Women announced its plans to file a complaint with the attorney general against Wahsh and the TV channel. The council said it had also filed a complaint to the Supreme Council for Media Regulation and urged media outlets not to invite controversial figures who make remarks that incite violence against women.
That’s all well and good, but it is not addressing the real problem. Muslim men in the Middle East see women as mere chattel, possessions as lowly as an animal they own. Knowing he was in hot water, Wahsh later said his comments were a call to demand stricter punishment for sexual harassment. He added, “Girls must respect themselves so others respect them. Protecting morals is more important than protecting borders.”
Nice try. He called for the rape of women but wants to say he is demanding stricter punishment for sexual harassment? What a bunch of malarkey. He was so out of his mind when he was screaming about raping and sexually harassing women who show their legs, he might as well be waving the black flag of the Islamic State too.
Mr. Wahsh is no stranger to controversy. Last year, he attacked an Australian cleric with his shoe on live Egyptian TV for saying that women shouldn’t have to wear the hijab and that drinking alcohol was okay. Egypt is Muslim Brotherhood country, even though the organization has been banned by the current government, so Nabih al-Wahsh’s outburst was not at all surprising.
“While there has apparently been a condemnation of Wahsh by women’s groups and westernized media, you have to wonder, given Egypt’s recent history with freely electing the radical fundamentalist organization Muslim Brotherhood, if the lawyer’s sentiments aren’t shared by a majority of men,” reports P.J. Media.
President al-Sisi has made it clear that he wants to secularize Egypt, but he is fighting hundreds of years of control by radical Islamists, whose attitude toward women is perfectly summed up by Wahsh, and that’s the problem. These nutjobs aren’t going to change because they are told it’s not “right” to hold their beliefs. They believe Allah has given them every right to inflict their sick, violent way of life on the rest of us. They especially loathe Western Civilization, which they see as the ultimate evil.
Barack Obama thought he could appease these monsters. They were laughing behind his back. Now, we see what happens when we let his policies, including the “immigration lotto,” have a domain in America. The New York City attack was part of Chuck Schumer’s horrendous appeasement plan, all sanctioned by the Democratic Party. Thank God, President Donald Trump rescinded that nightmare. America cannot afford to allow unvetted Middle Eastern migrants carte blanche to our nation ever again, especially when we hear them openly saying things like this.

Project TitlePugh, Kelsey D., City U. of New York, Hunter College, New York, NY - To aid research on 'Early Hominin Evolution Within the Broader Context of Mid-Late Miocene Hominoid Phylogeny,' supervised by Dr. Christopher C. Gilbert
KELSEY D. PUGH, then a graduate student at City University of New York, Hunter College, New York, New York, received funding in April 2016 to aid research on ‘Early Hominin Evolution Within the Broader Context of Mid-Late Miocene Hominoid Phylogeny,’ supervised by Dr. Christopher C. Gilbert. The living great apes, humans, and their fossil relatives (Family Hominidae) are among the most intensively studied mammalian groups, yet many aspects of their shared evolutionary history are not well understood. Phylogenetic relationships’ how species are related to one another- among fossil hominids, as well as between fossil and living hominids, are poorly resolved despite the numerous recent fossil discoveries due in part to a lack of comprehensive analyses. Moreover, previous phylogenetic studies have examined hominin or ape phylogeny in isolation, rather than evaluating early hominin evolution within the larger Mid-Late Miocene ape radiation. The main objective of this project is to perform a phylogenetic analysis of all known Mid-Late Miocene hominoid taxa, including the earliest potential hominins Ardipithecus, Orrorin, and Sahelanthropus using updated character analysis and tree inference methods. Data collection for this project is nearing completion, and parsimony and Bayesian inference will follow finalization of the character matrix. Bayesian hypothesis testing of proposed scenarios of biogeography and locomotor evolution, as well as ancestral state reconstruction, will follow. An understanding of phylogeny is essential to many of the larger questions we seek answers to in paleoanthropology, providing the necessary foundation to frame both taxonomic and paleobiological questions.

Trade body suspends Essex-based Micor’s membership
Trade body the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) has suspended Essex-based member Micor, pending an inquiry into a 2006 site accident in which one of its employees was killed.
An HSE investigation into the tragedy resulted in Micor being fined £100,000 and ordered to pay £20,000 in costs in March.
Employee Gary Drinkald, 43, was killed in 2006 after a concrete beam fell and crushed him on a site in Basildon.
The NFDC said in a statement: “In keeping with the Federation’s strict accident reporting policies and code of conduct, Micor’s corporate membership has been suspended temporarily while further investigations are carried out by the Federation’s accident investigation committee.
“Although the company remains listed on the NFDC website while those investigations take place, the listing has been clearly marked ‘suspended’.”
NFDC president Gary Bishop said: “As a Federation, we believe that the welfare of demolition workers is of paramount importance and that it must be safeguarded at all costs.
“While we do not question the findings of the HSE investigation, we feel that a further investigation is required to ensure that there is no repeat of this tragic incident in the future.
“Of course, we do not take the suspension of a member lightly but, in this instance, we believe that it would be in the best interests of all concerned if Micor’s membership was temporarily suspended while that investigation takes place.”

Pitt Street’s Cailuan Art Gallery buzzed with excitement on Saturday evening, during the Power Shine Body Art exhibition — the gallery’s first exhibition of 2021.
The event was also a first in that it featured the work of a married couple —Yaffa Goawily did the painting whereas her husband Kaiser Moussa, a professional photographer, took the photos.
The two are new to Cornwall, having established themselves in the city last year just prior to the pandemic tightening its grip on the area. Despite having been here for a short time, the two are already quite involved in the local arts community.
Saturday’s exhibition featured much more than photographs however — starting at 5 p.m., Goawily also proceeded to undertake a live body painting of local model Cailan Davies.
“We have two live performances — tonight for the opening, we have Cailan who will model and be painted and then mid-month, we will have Jason Sauve be painted. It will give us both the perspective of male and female,” said Cailuan Gallery owner Tracy Lynn Davies. “It’s going to be really neat.”
The exhibition also happened to be a first for Goawily.
“It’s my first show in Cornwall,” she said. “I believe that art is a very powerful healing process. I’ve been doing art since I was a child — art isn’t fancy, but it’s important for everyone to do something artistic, whether it’s listening to music, watching a movie or even read a book.”
In all, Goawily worked with four different models in order to create the pieces for the exhibition. These were actually friends from Montreal.
“When they were ready, we did the body painting session for them,” she said. “My intention, basically, was to work with people that aren’t models — they are normal women discovering their own happiness by adding colours to their bodies and sharing that happiness. There is no shame or judgment in how our body looks like.”
Painting a whole body usually takes Goawily about one and a half hours and it’s something that she’s been doing for quite some time — 15 years to be exact. Her interest in it began when she was attending college.
“They put us in the gallery and I kept painting for seven hours a banana and other natural things,” she said. “I liked doing it, but I started getting a little bit bored — that’s when I started painting myself. From there the idea grew.”
Gallery In Motion contest aims to help Cornwall-area artists
This year's Shop the Block event promises to be different
The art of re-opening a small gallery in Cornwall during a pandemic
Every piece in the exhibit is for sale and anyone wanting to view it can do so between Thursdays and Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to Davies however, local residents can request a private showing with their social bubble. All they have to do is contact the gallery.
So, how have things been at the gallery during the pandemic? Well, apparently a little slow. But that hasn’t stopped Davies from thinking outside of the box.
“We applied for the Digital Main Street grant, which helped us get online — we now have a beautiful website,” she said. “We’ve been able to do some business through there, selling art online and having a way for artists to make some money and to have something to, have a goal to work towards.”
Despite lower sales during the last year, Davies did say requests from residents wanting to get into art have for their part significantly increased. So much so, she ended up hosting private, online one-on-one classes.
“We’ve had a lot more request for classes and I think that people are finally starting to realize that they need to try new things and branch out,” she said. “I guess that the pandemic has given them time to think about what they want to do.”

Nearly two years have passed since the Affordable Care Act was signed into law by President Obama. Since then, you may have noticed a lapse in my updates. This is simply because I had no reason to comment further. Now that the individual mandate is on the verge of being overturned, the time has come for me to comment again.
In a bold use of the persuasive reductio ad absurdum logical tactic, the US Supreme Court seems poised to declare that healthcare is the same as broccoli. Since the Supreme Court does not believe government should have the constitutional right to mandate that people eat broccoli, it follows that the government should not mandate that people buy healthcare insurance.
In Citizens United, the Supreme Court declared that corporations have the same constitutional rights as people. Ozarks Community Hospital is a corporation. Therefore, OCH has the same constitutional rights as a person.
Since OCH is a person, OCH is entitled to the same right as a person to be free from governmental mandates regarding broccoli and healthcare. Therefore, if the Supreme Court rules that the healthcare mandate is unconstitutional, OCH will post signs in its emergency rooms that the Supreme Court has declared that patients have no more right to healthcare than broccoli.
We believe that these signs will be in violation of the governmental law known has EMTALA that requires all hospitals to provide healthcare to all persons regardless of their ability to pay. This law has resulted in the enactment of a number of regulations--one of which would prohibit hospitals from displaying a sign such as the one just described. When OCH is fined by the government for displaying its "no right to broccoli; no right to healthcare" sign (below), OCH will appeal all the way to the Supreme Court where it will assert its constitutional right to be free from mandates regarding broccoli and healthcare. If the government does not have the power to create a system that requires people to be responsible for the cost of healthcare, then the government does not have the power to create a system that requires hospitals to provide healthcare to people who do not pay.
Hospitals are people too.

Control of Elastic Robotic Systems Nonlinear Inversion and Modal Damping

First page number:
Last page number:
Energy efficient, lightweight robot arms for space applications have considerable structural flexibility. For large and fast motions, both the nonlinear coupled dynamics and the elastic behavior of the robots must be considered in control system designs. This paper presents an approach to the control of a class of flexible robotic systems. A control law is derived which decouples the joint-angle motion from the flexible motion and asymptotically decomposes the elastic dynamics into two sub-systems, representing the transverse vibrations of the elastic link in two orthogonal planes. This decomposition allows the design of an elastic mode stabilizer independently based on lower order models representing structural flexibility. The closed-loop system is shown to be globally asymptotically stable and robust to uncertainty in system parameters. Simulation results are presented to show that large, fast control of joint angles can be performed in spite of space vehicle motion and uncertainty in the payload.

One of my favorite things about glove collecting are the neat tags that many manufacturers attached. We've all seen the Rawlings, Spaldings, etc. of the vintage world but what are your rarest/most interesting ones. Here are some of mine:
Andrus & Nadele Sporting Goods, Hartford, CT - have not come across another one of these. The glove isn't in the greatest shape but I love it because there are not too many vintage gloves with CT tags.
Bean Bros., Freeport, ME - This is the original LL Bean company and one of my favorite gloves. There is a glove at the store in Freeport that has a little different tag than this one
J.A. Dubow, Chicago, IL - common glove maker but I've not seen another tag like this one. I love the color and script writing. Again, not a great glove, but the tag makes it a keeper for me.
Strawbridge Clothiers Sporting Goods - haven't figured out where this store was located yet. Looks good on the glove.
Jack Shannon Co. Sporting Goods, Chicago, IL - This is one of my favorite tags. My wife did some summer work right near the address on this tag on summer during her college years. I also like the images on it.
Horace Partridge, Boston, MA - probably the earliest tag, although I like the later one with the bird better. I like this one because of the clear, block printing.
Dave Cook, Denver, CO - 1950's glove with a neat tag. I like the big, bold vibrant colors.
Bill Powell Sports Shop, Inc. - Great look on this Geo. A Reach glove.
Oregon Athletic Equipment Co. - One of my favorite tags, this is on a MacGregor glove. Love the mountain scenery.
Sports Centre Athletic Goods, Hartford, CT - another CT tag for me, not that exciting looking but it's a keeper for me.
James Brine Co, Boston, MA - I like this tag for the fact that it's neat and because there is another one underneath that I don't know what it is.

Symphony concert in Switchyard Park to feature Youth Concerto contest winner, mayor
BSO concert to feature youth concerto contest winner on violin, mayor on baton
The Bloomington Symphony Orchestra launches its 52nd season at Switchyard Park Aug. 29, playing favorite selections from past concerts. Guest star Mayor John Hamilton will take a turn with the conductor’s baton.
The concert will feature the BSO 2020 Youth Concerto Competition winner, Cooper Olsen, who has played violin for 11 years. He studies with professor Mimi Zweig in the String Academy at the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music. In addition to his weekly lessons, he has participated in chamber music coachings with Susan Moses, performed in a chamber orchestra led by Brenda Brenner, and was invited to perform in masterclasses taught by Mauricio Fuks, Luke Hsu and Paul Kantor.
Olsen's awards include the 2019 Carmel Symphony Orchestra Competition and the junior division of the Muncie Symphony Orchestra Competition in 2020.
"Cooper is so joyful in his playing," said Donna Lafferty, the orchestra's executive director. "Just watch his face, and you can see how he lights up as each phrase develops. "We are absolutely delighted that, despite the delays imposed on us by COVID, he will finally be able to perform with us."
Lafferty said coming back in person is a little frightening, but gleeful.
"Some of us have been with the group for decades, I joined in 1998, and my fellow musicians are some of my dearest friends," she said. "To be in a position to start back up again, to share this beautiful musical journey with these amazing people, it's worth every bit of nerves."
Lafferty said Hamilton had been scheduled pre-pandemic for another BSO event.
"Once we decided it would be safe to have a live concert again, I remembered how disappointed he was in not being part of that concert, so I just said, 'Hey, mayor! What are you doing on Aug. 29?' and he seemed delighted to be asked" to be the guest conductor for a piece.
Alejandro Gómez Guillén, who has been BSO' artistic director and conductor of Bloomington Symphony Orchestra since 2016, will conduct the majority of the Aug. 29 concert. A highly trained modern and baroque violinist, Guillén leads Mozart and Haydn concertos. Among his numerous credits are concertmaster of Grand Junction Symphony Orchestra, Amherst Early Music Festival, and Junges Stuttgarter Bach Ensemble, with which he toured Germany and Italy and performed at Rheingau Music Festival and Berlin Philharmonie. He recently returned to Oregon Bach Festival as a member of the Berwick Academy for Historical Performance.
Bloomington audiences seem to prefer classics, Lafferty said, especially when paired with complementary touches such as slideshows. However, people who attend a concert intent on hearing one of the old "chestnuts" often report that the highpoint turned out to be something they'd never heard before.
"That's why it's a good idea to mix a bit of old and new, open with something from a living composer, or have a soloist perform something unusual as the second piece, then end with a big, familiar, joyous closer."
Two exceptional BSO concerts linger in Lafferty's memory: Gustav Mahler's "Titan" Symphony (No. 1) directed by direction Charles Latshaw and Gustav Holst's "The Planets" directed by Adam Bodony.
"The latter was very experimental in nature. We invited two members of (Indiana University's) astronomy department to provide commentary and a slide show of each planet between movements. They were delightfully science-nerdy, super playful (think Abbott and Costello), and added so much."
That, in fact, was BSO's first sold-out performance in which Lafferty had been involved. They're going to do "Planets" again to close this season, with the added attraction of encouraging cosplay attendees. They hope to see a lot of Darth Vader impersonators honoring the "Star Wars" movies character, Dr. Beverly Crushers (character in the TV show "Star Trek: Next Generation") and the like in the audience, Lafferty said.
The Mahler performance was an example of BSO overcoming hardship to achieve something remarkable.
"We thought we had a performance space lined up, but it fell through so we ended up playing in a much smaller venue than we'd planned, meaning some of the violins were sitting practically knee-to-knee with the audience."
"I'm pretty sure the audience was in tears when we finished to a standing ovation, and I know, looking at my fellow musicians through my own tears, that they were all crying, too."
The orchestra thanks Baird Wealth Management (formerly Hilliard Lyons) for its partnership, as well as Jeff Main, son of former long-time BSO cellist Steve Main, and husband of violinist Joy Main. They receive much support, too, from the community, grants, corporation sponsors and the performing musicians.

Pitching coach Juan Nieves was fired by the Boston Red Sox on Thursday.
The Red Sox are 29th in team ERA (4.86) and starters ERA (5.54) and 25th in walks and hits per inning pitched, or WHIP, at 1.392.
The team also announced right-handed reliever Edward Mujica has been designated for assignment. Signed to a two-year, US$9.5 million contract in 2013, Mujica has a 4.61 ERA in 11 games this season after posting a 3.90 ERA in 60 innings in 2014, failing to hold onto the setup role the Red Sox had envisioned for the veteran.
Nieves was open in spring training about the Red Sox not having a true ace of the pitching staff without Jon Lester, who was traded in 2014. He said Feb. 20 his hope was certain pitchers would pitch like No. 1 starters on certain days. To date, that has not happened.
With a challenging road trip ahead after going 3-7 on the recent homestand, the Red Sox are likely trying to find a spark.
Nieves, a former big-league pitcher, joined the Red Sox prior to the 2013 season in which Boston won the World Series.

First time in our very small town that a Boodle Lunch is served. Usually, local restuarants only offer short orders or paluto, and never a Boodle Lunch.
I think BOODLE FIGHT Food are a native to Asian Countries especially here in the Philippines. We love to eat and serve food where we can eat with our bare hands while sharing under the same plate. It is always a lovely and messy chaos. But we don't mind at all. I mean to us! hahahah
Lamoon Bar & Grill had finally made its grand soft opening last August 18, 2019. They offer such a variety of food arrays that any food lover would die to take a bite. I would say I was very much impressed just by looking over their Menu.
I won't let the month go by without having the chance to dine there. I gathered the troops and we head over there and book for lunch.
The location is strategically located at the heart of Sogod, Southern Leyte, right on the downtown area. It is just in front of Corrompido Hospital. They are situated at the Second Floor of the Prime Ace Building.
They do have a small place but the ambience seems great.
The Menu was printed in a big hard board with very clear and crisp pictures of their food. Everything was quite tempting. I was sooooo excited to try their *BIBIMBOP and Korean Samgyupsal *, unfortunately those were not available at the moment.
Php 1,000.00 ($19.24)
If you quite remember, I posted before about a boodle lunch which we had at the Pagatpat Restaurant in Matalom, leyte. It is a feast lunch served under a bamboo leaves. Here in Lamoon they likewise used a bamboo leaves but underneath was we call a Nigo, a big bowl of bamboo platter.
One (1) Boodle is good for 4-5 persons, so we ordered two boodles because we were eight (8).
In the Boodle Lunch, they serve, Shrimp, Chicken Barbeque, Bam-E (Noodles), Tahong (shells), Pork Liempo, Vegetable Tempura and a bowl of Soup. This set only cost Php 599.00 ($11.52)! And that is quite cheap and very affordable boodle lunch I have had.
To my surprise , they actually tasted good! I mean it is no wonder that they are always in full house, almost every day like I could see a line every time I passes by. The food are great with equally satisfying taste at affordable prices.
I am pretty sure to be coming back for I am more excited for the other dishes to be made available. I am going to blog more about it pretty much when we come back.
That's all for today, see you till our next munch time. Ciao!

Remembering Candida Royalle, 1950 – 2015
Filmmaker Candida Royalle, who was interviewed in just the third issue of this magazine back in Summer of 1993, passed away this week. Below she is remembered by CineKink founder and occasional Filmmaker contributor Lisa Vandever. — SM
A pioneering feminist filmmaker and prominent figure in the world of adult cinema, Candida Royalle died earlier this week, at the age of 64, after a lengthy fight with ovarian cancer.
Candida and her work made many appearances at CineKink over the years, and we were grateful for the opportunity to present “A Tribute To ‘Club 90,” an evening honoring Candida and a tight circle of dear friends — Veronica Hart, Gloria Leonard, Annie Sprinkle and Veronica Vera, all longtime adult industry cohorts — at this year’s festival. That gratitude is made all the more poignant with the knowledge it was the last public celebration of Candida’s immense talents and her pivotal role in the development of female-friendly erotic cinema.
An actress during the “golden age” of adult movies, working in both San Francisco and New York, Candida starred in numerous titles from 1975 to 1984 before making the move into directing and producing. Frustrated with the misogynistic thrust of many of these films, Candida founded Femme Productions and put herself at the helm. Describing her works as “sensually explicit,” she framed them as less graphic than typical adult films — certainly lacking in the traditional “money shot” — while also incorporating storylines, original music and “real characters of all ages.” She was director/producer of 18 projects over the years, including several created for distributor Adam & Eve, all serving to demonstrate that a viable audience could be found for adult films appealing to women and couples.
At the same time, she was an ardent supporter of free speech, particularly in response to feminist critiques of pornography as being disempowering no matter their presentation or who is behind the production. A founding board member of Feminists for Free Expression, Candida was also a sought-after speaker, lecturing at such venues as the Smithsonian Institute, the American Psychiatric Association’s national conference, and the World Congress on Sexology, as well as universities including Princeton, Columbia, Wellesley College and New York University.
With her unabashed stance that feminism and sexual self-expression can be one, and a body of work that spans such an incredible range of creativity and activism, Candida has been a huge inspiration and a source of support, for the wave of female filmmakers coming up behind her, including several CineKink alumni directors.
“Candida Royalle was the gold standard for a different kind of porn. Everyone who makes couples’ porn, porn for women, or feminist porn is informed by her work,” said Tristan Taormino, a filmmaker and co-editor of The Feminist Porn Book. “She was the very first and made so many people’s careers possible, including mine. She paved the way for so many women in the industry and did it with a generosity toward other female filmmakers unlike anyone else I’ve met.”
“She was the pioneer who proved that women were interested in porn and would happily buy it,” said Australian filmmaker Ms. Naughty. “She was my ‘porny godmother’ — a trailblazer who paved the way for me and for others like me to make our own brand of porn. I am forever grateful for her work, her intelligence, her belief in free speech and her compassion.”
And according to filmmaker Jennifer Lyon Bell, “Candida was a true trailblazer, creating 100% unique porn for women and couples at a time when the concept of women as sexually independent beings (and as consumers of actual explicit movies) was not just bemusing, but shocking and appalling to many. Candida deflected naysayers, including a lot of angry feminists, with grace and poise.”
According to friend Annie Sprinkle, memorials for Candida are in the works for New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles, and will likely be held in November.

text: Cystic fibrosis (CF), the most common autosomal recessive disorder of Caucasians, is caused by the mutations in the gene encoding CFTR (Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator) protein. Until now, approximately 1000 mutations of the CFTR gene have been described. The genotype-phenotype relationships in CF are still not completely understood. This study was undertaken in an attempt to characterise the distribution of CFTR mutations and their effect on selected clinical parameters in a group of Polish CF adults. A total number of 38 adult CF patients (mean age 21.6 ? 6.8); 18 females and 20 males were enrolled in the study. The CFTR gene identification was conducted with the use of PCR and InnoLipa-CF set. The assessed clinical parameters included: age at diagnosis, age, lung function test, X-ray scored in Brasfield score, weight & height. We found that: (1) the genotypes of the studied population were unevenly distributed (65.8% ? genotype deltaF508/M), (2) a high percentage of 3849+10kbC.T was noted, (3) patients homozygous for the deltaF508 mutation were diagnosed significantly earlier and had a lower body mass index, (4) no differences were observed in the patients? length of life or the progression of lung disease. Conclusions: 1. In comparison to other populations, Polish adult CF patients display a relatively higher frequency of mild mutations. 2. Late diagnosis of CF in the studied group may be partially caused by a high percentage of CFTR mutations connected with the mild course of the disease that are difficult to identify. 3. Cystic fibrosis should be more commonly taken into consideration in the differential diagnosis in adult patiens with milder symptoms.

On 1st June, we returned home and then to the airport. We were really quite toured out. My travel companion had been on the road for two months and was pleased to take a respite from all the activity.
There were a couple of thoughts that I would like to share with you about this trip:
- Next time I will take a hi-rise vehicle with 4 x 4 capabilities.
- The service levels and the reception by all the folk we met on this trip were exceptional and it all bodes well for our industry going forward.
- One of the anomalies was that on all our game drives, guides would stop for impala but drive straight past Nyala and Kudu, it was strange for me – so we stopped at all antelope species.
- One dreams about putting together an itinerary together for a trip like this! When it happens, it is just such a pleasure! I got to go on it, thanks to my travel partner, Pam!

Embracing the New Age of Sports Entertainment
As technology continues to advance at an astonishing rate, the way we consume sports has undergone a significant transformation. Gone are the days of waiting for the sports highlight reel or relying on television broadcasts to catch a glimpse of our favorite games. With the advent of live streaming, sports enthusiasts can now immerse themselves in the action in real-time, no matter where they may be. Want to know more about the topic covered in this article? 모나코 티비 https://totodang.com, filled with additional and valuable information to supplement your reading.
Unlimited Access to Sporting Events
Live streaming has revolutionized the way we watch sports by breaking down geographical barriers and offering unlimited access to sporting events. In the past, avid fans would have to travel long distances or rely on cable subscriptions to experience high-profile games. Nowadays, all you need is a stable internet connection, and you can enjoy the dazzling feats and heart-pounding moments from the comfort of your own home.
Interactive Engagement with Fellow Fans
One of the remarkable aspects of live streaming sports events is the ability to engage with fellow fans from around the world. Online chat features and social media integration allow viewers to share their thoughts, emotions, and insights while the game is in progress. Whether you’re celebrating a goal, discussing strategy, or lamenting a missed opportunity, this sense of community creates an unparalleled sense of camaraderie among fans.
Enhanced Viewing Experience
Live streaming offers a host of features that enhance the overall viewing experience. With multiple camera angles, slow-motion replays, and expert commentary, you can analyze every play with unprecedented detail. Moreover, many streaming platforms provide customizable viewing options, allowing you to focus on specific players, statistics, or even listen to alternative audio feeds. This level of personalization ensures that you can tailor your sports-watching experience to suit your preferences.
For sports enthusiasts on a tight budget, live streaming is a cost-effective alternative to traditional cable or satellite subscriptions. Many streaming platforms offer affordable or even free access to a wide range of sporting events. With just a fraction of the cost, you can gain access to the same adrenaline-filled action as cable subscribers, without compromising the quality of the broadcast.
Overcoming Connection Challenges
While live streaming has undoubtedly transformed the way we consume sports, it is not without its challenges. One of the most common concerns users face is the issue of connectivity. To ensure a smooth and uninterrupted streaming experience, a stable internet connection is necessary. Investing in a reliable internet service provider and optimizing your home network can help in minimizing disruptions and buffering.
Another challenge faced by some viewers is regional restrictions. Due to licensing agreements, certain games may be subject to blackout restrictions in specific areas. However, this obstacle can be overcome by using a virtual private network (VPN) that allows you to bypass geo-blocks and stream the game from anywhere in the world.
Furthermore, it is essential to consider the quality of the streaming platform. Opt for reputable streaming services that offer high-definition broadcasts and an intuitive user interface. Reading reviews and seeking recommendations from fellow sports enthusiasts can help in finding the optimal streaming platform for your preferred sports.
Embrace the Evolution of Sports Entertainment
With live streaming, the way we consume sports has undergone a remarkable transformation. It has granted us the freedom to watch our favorite games on our own terms, without limitations. From the convenience of our homes or while on the go, we can engage in the thrill, excitement, and camaraderie that sports brings.
So why wait? Embrace the evolution of sports entertainment and dive into the world of live streaming. The next time your favorite team takes the field, don’t miss out on the action – tune in, join the conversation, and experience the game like never before. Plunge further into the subject by visiting this suggested external site. 모나코 티비, you’ll uncover extra details and an alternate perspective on the subject addressed.

SOUTHEND United goalkeeper Paul Smith is seeking another clean sheet against Torquay tomorrow.
The Blues shot-stopper has secured five shout outs in his last eight outings.
And he is hoping for more of the season against the Gulls this weekend.
“We’ve defended well in our last few matches and hopefully we can do the same this weekend,” said Smith, 32.
“I actually felt as though we had been defending well as a team all season but just recently we’ve been getting the clean sheets to show for it and that’s been great.
“The manager and his assistant, Graham Coughlan, have been going through things with us in training which has helped and having a more settled back four has also been a huge advantage.
“Getting clean sheets as a keeper is always nice and now we want to go and get a few more, hopefully starting with the game at Torquay tomorrow.”
But the game against the Gulls could well prove to be a tough test for Smith and his Southend side.
Martin Ling’s men have yet to be beaten at home in the league season and have also netted 17 goals in their eight outings at Plainmoor.
That ranks them third in the highest scorers at home in League Two.
However, Smith is the relishing the chance to try and keep them quiet.
“Port Vale had a scoring record and we managed to keep them out so hopefully we can do the same against Torquay, said Smith who joined Blues on a free transfer before the start of the season.
“It’s good to play against the top teams and players though and we have a bit of momentum behind us now too so we’re really looking to the game.”

New COVID-19 cases continue to decline in North America, but in Latin America infections are still rising, particularly in Brazil where a resurgence has caused record daily deaths, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) warned on Wednesday.
“We are concerned about the situation in Brazil. It provides a sober reminder of the threat of resurgence: areas hit hard by the virus in the past are still vulnerable to infection today,” PAHO Director Carissa Etienne said in a briefing.
She said cases are on the rise in nearly every Brazilian state, with Amazonas state especially hard hit.
A new variant first discovered late last year has led to a surge in new infections there that have overwhelmed the health care system, which continues to experience widespread shortages of medical supplies, including oxygen, she said.
Brazil needs “very strict” public health measures to curb the surge that is overwhelming hospital ICU wards, PAHO’s incident manager Sylvain Aldighieri said.
Brazil reported a record 1,972 deaths from COVID-19 in 24 hours on Thursday. Brazil has the second-highest total number of deaths behind the United States.
The United States and Canada continue to see a drop in new cases of COVID-19, PAHO said.
Ontario reports more than 1,300 new coronavirus cases, 16 more deaths
‘QAnon shaman’ to remain in jail after ‘insulting’ court defence
Cuba, the Bahamas, Saint Lucia and Guadeloupe are facing a rise in infections, and in South America Paraguay, Uruguay and Chile are reporting an increase in new cases, while Peru and Bolivia are finally seeing declines, PAHO said,
Vaccines have begun to arrive in Latin America, with 28.7 million doses allocated to the region for the next three months, through the COVAX facility led by the GAVI alliance and the World Health Organization to provide equitable access to shots.
Honduras will receive its first 48,000 doses via the COVAX mechanism in the next few days, Etienne said, followed by El Salvador that is due to get 32,600 doses and Guatemala 81,6000 doses, all of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
PAHO, the Americas regional office of the WHO, has placed orders with the Serum Institute of India for 135,000 doses for Nicaragua and 228,000 for Bolivia, she said.
But PAHO warned that vaccine supply is limited, due to manufacturing constraints and high demand, and some countries will have to wait several months until they receive theirs.
According to a Reuters tally, Latin America has recorded around 22.3 million coronavirus cases, and 704,000 deaths, almost double the death toll of Asia and Africa combined.

Design Open Mic: Resilient Cities
Architecture for Humanity Program Coordinator, Audrey Galo, and Design Fellow, Yuko Okamura, review of the org's Resiliency Program: how Architecture for Humanity is taking leadership in resilient cities and community resilience, and the future of the resilient program.
The two lay out the argument for resiliency infrastructure in cities, and what it takes for a city to prepare for future disasters.
We've left a "track list" below for you to navigate the presentation.
WHY ARE CITIES VULNERABLE TODAY? (1:15)
Economic Interdependence. "No city is self reliant. Communities are constantly being affected by decisions and issues on other places."
Climate Change. "Globally about 26M have been displaced by natural disasters - about the pop. of Texas. By 2050 it will hit 150M, half the pop. of the US. A huge displacement of people – where will they go?"
Rapid Urbanization. "Rapid influx and exodus of a city's population dramatically affects its ability to adapt to the different types of changes."
WHAT PREVENTS CIITES FROM WORKING TOWARDS RESILIENCY? (6:11)
"Resiliency is a balance of three factors: economy, social network and physical spaces"
"Resiliency for us is being able to adapt, and change to the factors affecting it…. We're not going to pretend that disasters won't affect cities, but do the system exist to support recovery and reconstruction?"
"City governments have the capacity to implement programs, but they don't understand disaster. And departments aren't really talking to one another, and are unaware of the resources available to them."
The good news:
Mexico City's 'Earthquake Risk Reduction' program a marked success. Since the program was introduced, Mexico City has reduced response time.
Sendai. Since the mid-60's have been working at different levels…to organize people around disasters. Neighborhood coordinators and city emergency management trainers.
San Francisco is involving civilian groups in disaster preparedness programs.
INVESTING IN RESILIENCY (15:15)
What can we do beforehand to prevent extreme post-disaster conditions?
BUILDING A RESILIENCY NETWORK (18:20)
We can build a worldwide coordinated disaster resiliency program with help from our chapters.
Chicago chapter respond to Harrisburg, IL, tornado damage. They work with community elders to plan a new senior center.
Disaster Grant Program works with five chapters on comprehensive plans in partnership with local AIA components - Seattle, Chicago, Washington DC, New York and Baltimore. Read the full update.
Growing and scaling the program. We're committed to developing the capacity of key chapters, and work toward training and orientation resources available to all chapters.

If you’re unfortunate enough to around me at all, you probably have noticed my obsession with the play Hamilton. In this moment, the lyrics, “Why do you write like you’re running out of time? Write day and night like you’re running out of time?” buzz my skull and fill my veins.
The passion for the written word, for expression, for art, captured in those lyrics has resonated with me. There is truth in consistency. That’s not to say truth is always consistent, but every time I go anywhere, I bring my Imaginauts, and in that practice there seems to be a truth. Of course, it’s been my task over the last year or two to discover that truth.
This Sunday, I took my daughter to Sunset Cliffs. Here in San Diego, it’s a rugged jut from an old hippy beach community. Ocean winds and nocturnal moisture wear the rocks smooth and eat slowly at the cliffsides. My daughter had never seen them. Knowing how much she loves the ocean, I took her. But, as always, the Imaginauts came with me.
The Imaginauts turn my weakness into a strength. In truth, I’ve never been patient enough to paint backgrounds. With my cut-out characters, Gene Kelly (the astronaut), Hank (the adventurous boy on his bicycle) and Handsome Jimmy (the butterfly-enamored werewolf), I can use art as a supplement to the backgrounds. The stony, often bare landscape paralleled the surface of Mars enough that Gene seemed enough at home and the stark cliffs appealed to Hank’s sense of adventure. Though I’ll admit getting close enough to them to take his picture was more than a bit distressing and the closer I got the more narrowed and singular my thoughts were.
The truthful consistency I spoke of earlier is the renewed interest I have in this medium as I continue to explore, as I indulge and further develop the Imaginauts. What should be remembered here is seek your own consistency in your art, or even your day to day, for therein lies truth.
I’ll continue to share my Imaginauts so if you haven’t already followed me, please do. If you want more in the meantime, feel free to check my Instagram account. There you’ll find a year and half’s worth of Imaginauts, one-line drawings and pins.

by Chris Ware. Pantheon, September 2019. 356 p. ill. ISBN 9780375424328 (hardcover), $35.00.
Reviewed June 2020
Missy Brown, Cataloging and Metadata Librarian, Pratt Institute, firstname.lastname@example.org
Life is hard for the folks in Chris Ware’s world. Rusty Brown chronicles one oppressively cold day in Omaha, Nebraska, over which readers are slowly introduced to the heart wrenching, interwoven lives of six characters attending or working at the same parochial school.
The title character, a bullied 3rd grader, creates a superhero alter ego named Ear Man to escape his sorrowful reality. At the center of Rusty’s struggles is his angry and depressed father, W.K. “Woody” Brown, who teaches at his school. In a former life, Woody wrote sci-fi comics as an antidote to a disappointing youth filled with career setbacks and romantic heartbreak. Rusty’s tormenter is a privileged yet fallible teenager named Jordan Lint. New students Chalky White and his big sister Alice carry the weight of a mysterious event that hurtled them powerless into their bitterly frigid new surroundings. Rusty’s teacher Joanna Cole leads an isolated life, deflecting challenging family dynamics rife with secrets while shouldering endless racist and sexist microaggressions, and finding her own escape in music.
The book’s bewitching design stands in complete opposition to its drawing style, where all are depicted with angry or sad clown faces. Those uninitiated to the Ware-verse may have trouble following the narrative thread through the twisting paths of its graphical elements.
The story ends with an ellipsis, because in 300+ pages Rusty Brown has only just begun to explore the inner lives of a group working through too-heavy a burden of unfortunate events. The door is wisely left open for future adventures. Rusty Brown wallops the reader with refreshing honesty. This paramount and timeless title will appeal to many audiences, though not to younger ones because the content is mature at times. Highly recommended for public, academic or high school libraries with graphic novel collections.


Volvo Cars has attracted considerable attention with its new safety function in which the car brakes automatically - Volvo City Safety.
"City Safety is of considerable interest to insurance institutes, and insurance companies on many markets are cutting premiums by up to 30 percent for anyone who insures a Volvo XC60," relates Anders Eugensson, safety expert at Volvo Cars Governmental Affairs.
City Safety, which is fitted as standard in the Volvo XC60, is a system whereby at low speeds (0-30 km/h) the car automatically brakes if the driver has been distracted and does not respond to a vehicle in front. The function thus helps cut the number and severity of low-speed rear-end collisions. Such impacts represent a large proportion of the total number of accidents that take place.
Last spring, Anders Eugensson launched a tour to demonstrate the function in a converted Volvo S80.
"We demonstrate City Safety on a track where a large inflatable bag shaped like a car is parked 40 metres away," explains Anders Eugensson. "We accelerate up to 15 km/h and when the collision is imminent, City Safety steps in and brakes the car so the collision can be entirely avoided. At speeds above 15 km/h but below 30 km/h, the car runs into the vehicle in front, but the consequences of the collision are much milder owing to the substantial retardation in speed.
"The car receives its command to brake from a laser sensor that is well-protected behind the windscreen. The command is sent to a processor that determines if the car has to be braked automatically. City Safety is an auxiliary system that never takes over the driver's responsibility," emphasises Anders Eugensson.
Safety institutes and authorities such as Thatcham (Great Britain) and IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the USA), organise seminars for insurance companies the world over. The reason is that City Safety is expected to reduce the number of personal injuries and material damage in conjunction with low-speed impacts. Costs thus also decrease for customers, insurance companies and society in general. What is more, City Safety helps avoid or reduce the risk of whiplash injuries among occupants in the car being hit.
The new XC60 is Volvo's safest car ever and it can be equipped with all the very latest advances in safety-enhancing technology. Owing to the positive effects of City Safety, several insurance companies the world over are cutting premiums by 10 to 30 percent for customers who insure the new cross-over model with them.
Thatcham demonstrated City Safety back in February. It received the "British Fleet World Honours Awards 2008" for its technology, as well as the American "Traffic Safety Achievement Award" at this year's international traffic safety symposium in New York. The longer-term vision of Volvo Cars is to create cars that do not collide, and in the shorter term the aim is that by 2020, nobody should be killed or injured in a Volvo. City Safety, which was developed by Volvo Cars, is an important step towards those visions.
