Get ready for an epic battle in Vegas: Surfer vs. Philosopher! ----------✁✁✁✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁-------- In the blue corner, we have Bob McTavish, the shortboard revolutionary. "You can take a surfer out of the surf, but you can not take surf out of the surfer." Once a surfer, always a surfer - it's in their blood. ----------✁✁✁✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁-------- In the red corner, José Ortega y Gasset, the existential heavyweight. "While the tiger cannot stop being a tiger, it cannot be distilled, man lives in permanent risk of dehumanizing himself." Humans can lose their essence, while a tiger is always a tiger. ----------✁✁✁✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁-------- Is surfing the key to staying human? Or is the search for meaning deeper than any wave? Who will be left standing when the punches stop flying? Will McTavish's surf-soaked wisdom prevail? Or will Ortega y Gasset's existential insights prove too powerful? ----------✁✁✁✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁-------- Don't miss this clash of minds in the city of lights! 2 men enter the ring, but only 1 will emerge victorious. ----------✁✁✁✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁✁ ✁✁ ✁✁-------- P.S. My money's on Ortega y Gasset for the KO, but never underestimate the power of the surf. #selfawareness #happiness #identity

IT TAKES RIGHT POSITIONING TO REACH ONE'S ZENITH! "Even with the best attitude a shark wouldn't do well in a swimming pool. Compare this to a human position outside its bent, potential and purpose." A shark, even with the most positive outlook, wouldn't be suited for a swimming pool. Here's why: Limited Space: Pools are tiny compared to a shark's natural habitat, the vast ocean. Sharks need room to roam, hunt, and migrate. Chlorine: Pool chlorine irritates a shark's sensitive gills, making breathing difficult. Shallow Water: Most sharks need deep water to maneuver their bodies and maintain buoyancy. Pools wouldn't provide enough depth. Similar to the shark, a human placed outside their natural environment wouldn't thrive either. Here's the comparison: Human Bent: Humans are social creatures who rely on language, tools, and cooperation. Put someone alone on a deserted island and their potential is greatly diminished. Potential: We have the potential for great creativity, problem-solving, and innovation. But those skills need an environment that allows us to learn, collaborate, and build upon the work of others. Purpose: Many humans find purpose through work, relationships, and contributing to society. Being isolated in a situation where those things aren't possible would leave someone feeling lost and unfulfilled. Just like the shark needs the ocean, humans need the right environment to flourish and reach their full potential.

SHARK ATTACKS are on the rise, with no effective deterrent system in place until now. Research suggests that using underwater sounds, specifically Orca calls, can effectively deter Sharks. Adding life size replicas of Orcas anchored to the ocean floor will enhance the deterrent. Orcas known for hunting Sharks, trigger fear in sharks when they hear these sounds and or see them, prompting them to take cover. This method is safe for all marine life, including Sharks, making it a promising solution to prevent Shark attacks. Sharks are equipped with an impressive ability to detect underwater sounds, can hear low frequencies in the range of 10-1,100 Hz. Their lateral line allows them to sense vibrations, making them expert acoustic perceivers. Additionally, Sharks have remarkable visual acuity. Interested in partnering to bring my innovative shark deterrent design to the market? Reach out to explore collaboration opportunities and contribute to making our waters safer for all. Let's work together to implement this solution along beaches, during surfing contests, or any scenario where deterring Sharks is essential. #SharkDeterrent #MarineSafety #InnovationPartner

Some fun facts about penguins:🐧 1. No Flight, Great Swimmers: Penguins can’t fly, but they are exceptional swimmers, reaching speeds of up to 15 mph underwater. 2. Feather Density: They have more feathers per square inch than most birds, providing excellent insulation against the cold. 3. Diverse Species: There are 18 different penguin species, ranging from the tiny Little Blue Penguin to the majestic Emperor Penguin. 4. Monogamous Mates: Many penguin species are monogamous, often returning to the same mate each breeding season. 5. Long Dives: Emperor Penguins can dive as deep as 1,850 feet and hold their breath for more than 20 minutes. 6. Unique Vocalizations: Penguins have distinct calls that help them identify their mates and chicks among thousands of others in a colony. 7. Climate Travelers: While most people think of penguins in icy environments, some, like the Galápagos Penguin, live near the equator. 8. Rocky Relationships: Adélie Penguins often use pebbles to build their nests and will sometimes steal stones from their neighbors. 9. Synchronized Swimming: Penguins often swim in groups to protect themselves from predators. 10. Molt Magic: Once a year, penguins undergo a complete molt, shedding old feathers and growing new ones, during which they cannot swim and must fast.

Advisor for Top Dutch Solar Racing - "There's always an opportunity to make a difference" MARKETING_STRATEGY_CREATIVITY
💦The smallest inflatable device in the world💦 The idea behind the Kingii is quite simple. Annually, around 372.000 people drown around the planet, and most of these drowning incidents happen within 100 yard of the shore due to rip currents, exhaustion or lack of safety. So, how could a small portable device save thousands of lives of swimmers, divers, beachgoers, fishermen, sailors and water sport enthusiasts? By making it non-invasive, reliable and easy to use. Kingii is basically a water security device. It fits on your wrist and dramatically reduces the risk of drowning. Are you suffering from a leg cramp while surfing? Activate Kingii. What do you think about?
