www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJC-_j3S...

This video summing up 2020 has left netizens across the world praising it.......
There’s unlikely to be a year like 2020 any time soon and a video that compiles footage from some of the biggest global events is being praised on social media. The video features music composed and edited by Cee-Roo, an EDM artiste from Switzerland, and features a montage of visuals from events around the world. So there’s footage of the pandemic, the Black Lives Matter protests, the US elections, the Beirut blast, the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and the death of sporting stars like Kobe Bryant and Diego Maradona.

However, the video ends on an optimistic note with footage of frontline workers receiving applause, Joe Biden’s electoral victory, and police officials taking a knee during the Black Lives Matter protests.

We are not going to forget this year any time soon!

Brilliant...Every human on this planet should watch this video just to remember we all belong to humanity and we need to be respectful and unite to build a better world.

Personal Hovercraft......................🔹 The Typhon X-75
🔹 The Typhon is a side-by-side hovercraft designed to ride on most types of terrain, including lakes and oceans. A one-litre four-stroke engine powers its central and lateral intake fans and it uses two electric thrusters that rise up above the vehicle to help it steer and move rapidly over any surface.
🔹 Recent advances in lithium polymer battery technology will make it possible to power two 10-kilowatt electric motors linked to the rear thrusters. These batteries will act as buffers to provide additional boost when needed. The thrusters will turn at speeds of up to 25,000 rpm to direct the Typhon in the desired trajectory.
🔹 Revised set of controls, and a more modern drivetrain, the idea of a sporty, easy to use hovercraft. Unlike other hovercrafts currently on the market, the Typhon would make life for users much easier.
... 🔹 Have a great week ahead...............*Stay Healthy

🔸 This Day In History........August 15th 1969
*On August 15, 1969, the Woodstock music festival opens on a patch of farmland in White Lake, a hamlet in the upstate New York town of Bethel. Promoters John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfield and Michael Lang originally envisioned the festival as a way to raise funds to build a recording studio and rock-and-roll retreat near the town of Woodstock, New York. The longtime artists’ colony was already a home base for Bob Dylan and other musicians. Despite their relative inexperience, the young promoters managed to sign a roster of top acts, including the Jefferson Airplane, the Who, the Grateful Dead, Sly and the Family Stone, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival and many more.



... *Half a million people waited on a dairy farm in Bethel, New York, for the three-day music festival to start. Billed as An Aquarian Experience 3 Days of Peace and Music, the epic event would later be known simply as Woodstock and become synonymous with the counterculture movement of the 1960s. Woodstock was a success.

*But the massive concert didn’t come off without a hitch Last-minute venue changes, bad weather and the hordes of attendees caused major headaches. Still, despite—or because of—a lot of sex, drugs, rock ‘n’ roll and rain, Woodstock was a peaceful celebration and earned its hallowed place in pop culture history.
🔸 Hope you are well...Enjoy the weekend and always stay safe.

Biringan City is a place that is said to be invisibly. It is truly famous but it only appears
to the eyes of selected people.Is this city truly invisible, or could it be a portal to the realm of *Engkanto...*Enchanted beings* This one is probably a place you don’t want to travel, but if you are looking for an epic adventure Biringan is the perfect place. But there is no guarantee that you can get out of this place.It is said that Biringan City lie between Gandara, Tarangan and Pagsanha in Samar province of the Philippines.The name *Biringan*itself, translates,a place to look for missing people.

... ★ Because of fear of retribution from the inhabitants of the lost city, the local only talk about it in hushed whispers. The city is inhabited by supernatural beings, it said that the engkantos are shapechangers who can transform as human or animal, without philtrum, a vertical groove between the nose and the upper lip, they are more terrifying.
★ Those who have seen this mythical city have said that there are many buildings, but it more looks like cathedral buildings. It is described as dazzling city of light with high and magnificent structures equipped with advanced technology by some ships that passed by. According to the story anyone who have seen this city had been victims of demon possessions.In some case small number of bus drivers blamed the engkanto for being lost to Biringan City. They said that engkantos controls their mind to take the path of Biringan. And they found themselves lost.
★ No one knows where the Biringan exactly lies; no one can ever tell how to go there. It will only show to the ones who really believe. We can’t deny the similarity of the stories of the people who claims to witness the mystery of Biringan City. If it doesn’t tickle your thought when you’re awake, it will surely visit your imagination while you sleep.

Mariam Petrosyan, is most well known as the author of the award-winning novel The Gray House.Mariam Petrosyan was born in 1969 in Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. After finishing an art college she became a cartoonist at the Studio of Armenfilm. Later she moved to Moscow to work at Soyuzmultfilm, but came back to Yerevan in 1995 and returned to Armenfilm.
🔹 The House, which sits overlooked on the outskirts of town, is a boarding school for disabled young adults. Isolated from the Outsides, the residents of the House are enmeshed in a carefully constructed world of unspoken rules and thorny histories. The meandering narrative moves back and forth in time, alternating narrators and tenses, to paint an intricate portrait of a social order that appears ultimately dictated by an unknown force, understood by its inhabitants to be the House itself. When student deaths begin to pile up over the course of the narrative, readers can identify with newcomer Smoker as he tries to understand the mysteries of the House and the source of its power over its inhabitants.....Mariam Petrosyan rips up the rule book, presenting a highly original and energetic novel that will give the reader an insight into a world that is seldom presented.
...
🔹 I genuinely, enjoyed this book. This is absolutely my sort of novel. I loved the characters, I loved the structure, and I loved the surreal sense of mysticism and deep unease that permeated the whole of the House. I loved the whimsy, I loved the quirkiness, and I loved the constant uncertainty.

🔹 In terms of genre, this is an excellent example of weird, surreal, quirky, slice of life fantasy with a dose of magical realism...*The house, it emerges, has hidden dimensions

Musk Says Tesla Motorcycle Won't Happen...Ever.....Tesla Electric Motorcycle The Model M Four wheels good, two wheels bad.....Tesla intends to make quite a range of vehicles. It already has a couple different sedans in the Model S and Model 3, along with the Model X SUV. A crossover, the Model Y, is now on the way for 2020, as is the Semi and its second sportscar, the Roadster. CEO Elon Musk has already said they would build a pickup truck as well. What it won't be building, though, is a motorcycle like the Tesla Model M..*This is a bit of a shame. Electric motorcycles are awesome

So, why won't Musk extend some of that sales magic to motorcycles? We now have a definitive answer to that question. At the recent Tesla annual shareholder meeting, he was asked by an audience member, "Has Tesla ever thought about going into the motorcycle business?" The entrepreneur responded with an autobiographical anecdote. Apparently, Musk had enjoyed dirt biking for around eight years as a lad, and even had a road bike. But, when he was 17 he was almost killed by a truck and, he explained, this apparently forever ended any fascination he might have had with riding motorized bikes.....Prototype On The Back Burner For Now.
... It's too bad, though.Two-wheeled vehicles are an efficient way of getting around and the Tesla brand could easily extend over an entire range of products, from street bikes to scooters to electric bicycles.Almost everyone that has a bike has had falls and close calls.....Get back on the Iron Horse.
Have a great weekend.......Be well.

......... Icon A5 Personal Amphibious Sport Airplane
♠ The A5 Amphibious Sports Aircraft is the first light sports plane designed and manufactured by Icon Aircraft, a US-based consumer sports aircraft manufacturer.

♠ This personal airplane combines a sports car, a speed boat and a jet to create an affordable aircraft that can be purchased for thousands of dollars instead of millions. The consumer plane was designed by Icon Aircraft, owned by former Airforce F16 pilot Kirk Hawkins

♠ The A5 consumer airplane is designed so that the owner doesn't have to be a professional commercial pilot. The dashboard has a simplified design that can be easily understood and controlled. It is the only aircraft that is spin-resistant certified by the FAA, while its unique Angle of Attack Gauge informs the pilot if the plane is going to stall.
... ♠ With the purpose of making personal flight more accessible, this plane can be folded up and fit into the back of a trailer. It is also amphibious, meaning it can land and take off from water.
♠ Allowing people to live out the kind of flying that they imagined in their childhood dreams.

Hope you had a pleasant weekend.......*Have a great week ahead.......Stay safe.

Carroll Shelby’s Own Series 1 Is the Spiritual Successor to the Cobra
🔹 Every gearhead knows the name Carroll Shelby. He’s a legend in his own right and his name’s been slapped on everything from countless Mustangs to the iconic Cobra.However, during his lifetime, Shelby and his company only ever built one car from the ground up, the *Shelby Series 1.

🔹 This supercharger brought power up to an eye-watering 600 bhp at 6,500 rpm – making the car a genuine weapon on the street or track. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed ZF gearbox. *0-60 time is now just 3.2 seconds – well into supercar territory.



... 🔹 Recent news emerged that the Series 1 may be returning in the guise of the Shelby Series 2, with a slew of upgrades but much the same styling as its forebear. We can only hope that the launch of the new car runs smoothly – and perhaps leads to a renaissance in appreciation for its elder sibling.

What do you get when you cross a snake with a hog the....*Shelby Series 1 Motorcycle
Legendary driver and car designer Carroll Shelby was taking orders for his new Series 1 automobiles, and one of the options they developed was the ability to add this matching Shelby Titan Custom motorcycle to an automobile order. Each bike has an identical VIN to the matching automobile, which in this case is, an immaculate Series 1 X50. 🔹 Only 5 matching pairs were ever built, making this an incredible opportunity to collect 2 very rare vehicles that are certainly worth a bunch more if kept together.

Have a great weekend.......Stay safe my friend.
