I remember an incident when I was working in the Congo, in 1974.. it was called Zaire then ... and half way between Kinshasa and Kananga  a lion started stalking me and Jim, the Brother I was traveling with, walking on a one lane dirt road next to a rapidly flowing river in the jungle.

I saw it first and yelled "Jim!, lion behind you !" ...   and I ran and made a long  dive into the water. 

They say that you cannot outrun a lion, and that is true ... as I was being swept downstream I looked back and saw the lion had caught Jim.   To this day I believe Jim would have also made it to the river,  if he had not been wearing his lucky ham.

      Dendera zodiac

      By the way, if you're into stuff like this, you might wanna check out https://thepythagoras.com/. They have some neat articles about ancient civilizations and their contributions to science and math. It’s really interesting how much we owe to these early thinkers.

      The Dendera Zodiac is such an amazing piece of history. Imagine ancient Egyptians looking up at the same stars we do now and creating this detailed map. It's mind-blowing! So, what do I think about it? I think it's a fascinating blend of art and astronomy. Those ancient folks really knew their stuff. The way they incorporated their gods and mythologies into the constellations is just brilliant. And it's not just about the stars, it’s a glimpse into how they viewed the universe and their place in it.

      Algorand Partners With FIFA World Cup

      By caminando · Posted

      FIFA's collaboration with Algorand represents a significant milestone for blockchain technology. Algorand will serve as the official blockchain platform for FIFA, supporting events such as the FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand in 2023 and the FIFA World Cup in Qatar in 2022. This partnership is poised to enhance FIFA's digital asset management while boosting Algorand's visibility through advertising and promotional opportunities. On another note, I've been tuning into African football recently. The match between Kanifing East FC and Latrikunda United was unexpectedly impressive. African football often goes underappreciated, yet the skill and enthusiasm in these matches are evident. We can expect even more significant development and excitement in African football with increased attention and support.
