Animal-rights Fanatics Have This Clown Feeling Down

... circus performer, he said he hopes to reboot and revive the New York-based Big Apple Circus, which shut down last year amid financial difficulties. Big Apple showed horses and ponies rather than lions and bears, but Bello said he might go the route of Cirque du Soleil, and kiss the animals goodbye. Well, most of them. “I may keep the dogs. Everyone likes dogs.’. RIP Ringling Brothers. A tragic loss. O’s tainted mercy. The Hollywood heartthrob, 53, appeared thin during a surprise appearance at the Golden Globes , and even more gaunt at a charity concert this week. Angelina Jolie, 41, blindsided him with a September divorce filing, and petitioned for sole custody of the couple’s six children. But after federal and California child-welfare authorities cleared Pitt of an allegation that he abused one of his sons, the warring duo is handling their split like entitled, moneyed people — hiring a private judge to reach a quiet ...

Phone With Dual Front-facing Cameras Is Perfect For Selfie Fanatics

... 7 Plus's Portrait mode , but for selfies. The secondary depth camera also lets you adjust a picture's focus area after the shot's been taken, a feature we've seen on phones like the HTC One M 8. Another selfie-oriented feature is "Selfie Softlight" which uses the screen to illuminate your face (like the i Phone's Retina flash). The rest of the phone's not bad, either. Though the processor is a punier Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 octa-core processor, the phone at least comes with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage (expandable to 256 GB via micro SD), and a large 3,160 m Ah battery. The phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow (sorry, Nougat fans). The phone only comes in gold. The 5.5-inch full HD (1,920 x 1,080) resolution screen should be plenty sharp. There's a fingerprint sensor below the display and — woohoo! — a headphone jack. On the back is a standard 16-megapixel camera with LED flash. Now for the kicker: The phone only comes in gold. Yep, just the one color. The phone's also launching in select Asian countries: India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar and Thailand. If you live in ...

Why Space Fanatics Are Freaking Out About Spacex's Next Launch

... order of magnitude more sophisticated than that analogy, but nonetheless, it’s the same sort of thing.”. Are space buffs worried that LC-39 A, a priceless legacy of the Moonshot era, will lose some of its historic character as it gets upgraded to accommodate modern rockets? Not exactly. According to Chris Bergin, managing editor for NASASpaceflight , the revival of a LC-39 A is being greeted with unadulterated glee by most folks in the spaceflight community. “Seeing a famous old pad come back to life will be a huge positive for those who feel we’re now over the post-Shuttle retirement hill and looking to the future again,” he told Gizmodo. “Also, it’s Space X, they are—without question—the rock stars of space flight these days. Combining the history of 39 A with Space X is a perfect storm of joy for rocket fans.”. Correction: An earlier ...

Nba Jerseys Sold In Stores Are About To Get Much More Expensive

... will take over production of on-court authentic NBA jerseys. Those will continue to be sold in stores at the discretion of Nike, the league and its member franchises. Why the Cost of Replica Jerseys Sold in Stores is Going Up. The rights to produce and sell replica jerseys, which are traditionally far less expensive than on-court authentics, will be split between Fanatics and Nike. Nike will produce a “swingman” replica jersey, while Fanatics will handle more traditional on-court as well as other specialty replicas. There are two big changes with these new contracts: the first is that Nike intends to do away with the sleeved jerseys, and the second is that Fanatics will only sell its replica jerseys on its website. Fanatics will be able to offer fans more replica jersey choices for the same price than Adidas currently does or Nike will be able to, but again, that expanded variety will only be available online. Stores which carry NBA jerseys will only have Nike swingman replicas and on-court authentics available. That will mean higher prices for customers shopping those stores.

Car Condo Complex Lets Auto Fanatics Mingle, Entertain, Store Collections In Luxury

... location and occasionally get together to network. What the Geneva developer didn't expect several years down the line was how much owners would connect as a community and how philanthropic they would become. Going into its second year, Burgess said his Naperville condominium complex geared for automobiles started as a means to solve a basic problem faced by most car collectors: storage. At some point, they run out of space in their own garage, friends' garages and other facilities, he said. The motor condo allows car owners the ability to place their entire collection under one roof. Burgess, founder of Burgess Commercial Real Estate in Aurora, said in 2005 he created his own car condo when he built an office in Aurora. "It had everything I wanted except one. There were no car guys," he said. A decade later he would cut the ribbon on the 45-acre Iron Gate ...

... signaling power, signaling conquering, and translating that to an international audience. Meryem Belkaid: During Tunisian political transition, which we are still living today, everything is contested. After a long time and decades of imposed silence by the dictatorship…public art is part of the debate, and the question of freedom of expression through images remains important and vivid. James Higginbotham: As an archaeologist…part of me wants to think about iconoclasm in a historical context, and for our students to think and be able to come away with constructive ways to understand what is going on in the world they have today, and to think about how we might move forward and what we can learn from some of these events. Robert Morrison: There are multiple discourses of images in the history of Islam. There are a lot of Muslims — there’s not a consensus on it. And ...
