Daniel Yergin: The Prize. The Epic Quest for Oil, Money and Power
I know that I'm late to the party, but this is an excellent book and required reading if you want to understand 20th and 21st century history.
Pomparkour, Parkour and Ladders
Someone alerted me to this amazing commercial, which combines parkour and ladders into a new mash up, which the inventors refer to as pomparkour. It's currently at around 5,000 views, but I'm predicting 100,000+ by the end of next week. The ultra short videos filmed by bystanders are also pretty hilarious. The full advertizing campaign.
The reference to ladder sport in this video by the same crew is not apocryphal. Here's a short video from the Third European Firefighters and Rescuers Championships in Ostrava, Czech Republic 2007.
This is a clip from the semi-finals of the fourth world championship for firefighters in Sofia and these are the finals.
Turns out that firesport is pretty big in Central Europe. Isn't it amazing what you can find on YouTube?
Anyway, the YouTube links will guide you further. Don't waste too much of your precious time...
And while I'm at it, parkour for cats.
