‘Becoming Sumo’ is a documentary about the first Sumo Wrestler from Africa.
Ōsunaarashi (大砂嵐金太郎) is the first professional sumo wrestler from the African continent. Born Abdelrahman Shalan near Cairo, Egypt he first became involved with sumo through an acquaintance at the age of 16. In 2011 he came in third place at an international junior championship. The same year he decided to follow his dream of becoming a professional wrestler and moved to Tokyo, Japan.

This guy obviously drew the short straw. After giving his leg a quick scrub, one audacious snake hunter wrapped his limb with some cloth and proceeded to stick it down a giant snake hole that was home to a giant python snake.
The massive serpent quickly detected the intruder and latched on, preparing to feast on “man leg.” As the python began choking down its meal, the man’s comrades were quick to provide aid, cushioning the man with some chopped leaves. Because that’s exactly the kind of support he needed at that moment.
Once the signal was given, the group grabbed hold of the man and dragged him out of the hole, an enormous python in tow. With some yanking and cutting, the snake was removed from the man’s leg and the python was beheaded.
Photographer Chris McLennan used a custom-made remote-controlled 4×4 camera buggy to take pictures of lions in Botswana.
Genius!
“Car L” meets the lions. The remote controlled 4×4 camera buggy gets up close and personal as it is stalked by this curious pride of lions in Botswana.
The “Car L” project was hatched by Chris McLennan and engineered by Carl Hansen to capture unique images of lions with a Nikon D800E, fired remotely by Chris McLennan using a trigger system built into the remote control unit.
Made possible by HP and Nikon New Zealand.
Who else has had enough of this bullshit? Obama’s priorities are not the same as ours. He hates this country and the military.
Barack Obama blew $100 million to take his wife, his two daughters, his mother-in-law and his niece to Africa with him this past week.
But, he canceled Independence Day celebrations at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg.
FOX Nation reported, via Free Republic:The Fourth of July won’t have a patriotic boom in the sky over some military bases because budget cuts and furloughed workers also mean furloughed fireworks.
Independence Day celebrations have been canceled at the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base and at the Army’s Fort Bragg, both in North Carolina. The annual July Fourth celebration also has been scrapped at the Marine Corps Logistics Base in Albany, Ga.
The reason is money — namely the lack of it.
The failure in Washington to follow up a 2011 budget pact with additional spending cuts meant $85 billion across-the-board cuts that began in March. Budgets tightened, the military took a major hit and many federal workers absorbed pay cuts through forced furloughs.
When the decision was made to forgo fireworks at Camp Lejeune, the commanding general, Brig. Gen. Thomas Gorry, said the cancellation would “ensure that we can mitigate the fiscal challenges we are currently facing.”
