    In China people are hiring ‘climbing buddies’ for big money. The more attractive they are the higher the price Эскорт каталог Израиль Wendy Chen decided to challenge herself by climbing Mount Tai a well-known mountain in eastern China. But there was one obstacle in her way: she couldn’t find a friend to join her for the five-hour trek. Rather than forgo her plans the 25-year-old hired a “climbing buddy” a young man with extensive outdoor experience to accompany and support her to the 5000-foot peak. Known in Chinese as “pei pa” meaning “accompany to climb” these are young Chinese men who join strangers on their journeys up popular mountains for a price. The trend has gained momentum this year as hashtags related to “climbing buddy” have had over 100 million views on Chinese social media. Young athletic individuals often university students or even military veterans advertise themselves on social media platforms like Xiaohongshu and Douyin with profiles featuring their height fitness level and hiking experience. They usually charge between 200 to 600 yuan 30 to 85 per trip. During the climb these “buddies” will do anything to distract their clients from feeling exhausted and push them to keep going: from singing telling jokes playing music verbal encouragement going so far as carrying their bags holding their hands and pulling them. A day on the mountain Chen and her climbing buddy’s adventure began at around 8:00 pm so she could arrive at the peak in time for the famous sunrise. After assessing her fitness level her climbing buddy planned a moderate route and carried her backpack the whole way. When they faced chilling winds at the peak Chen’s climbing buddy rented a thick coat for her while directing her to a walled shelter. At the moment the sun rose Chen’s climbing buddy was already prepared with a national flag and other props so that she could take a memorable photo. Though she felt his photography skills still had room to improve she rated her climbing buddy as “satisfactory.” The service cost her 350 yuan 49. Though Chen paid a typical price for a climbing buddy she acknowledges that more good-looking buddies can command higher rates. “Attractiveness is also part of their strength” she says. Climbing buddies’ main customers tend to be single young women but that’s slowly changing. A video of a strong male university student carrying a three-year-old effortlessly up a steep mountain — while the toddler’s mother trailed far behind — went viral this summer.

    Medical staff on the front line of the battle against mpox in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have told the BBC they are desperate for vaccines to arrive so they can stem the rate of new infections. bs2site2.at At a treatment centre in South Kivu province that the BBC visited in the epicentre of the outbreak they say more patients are arriving every day – especially babies – and there is a shortage of essential equipment. блэкспрут https://bs2-blacksprut.com Mpox – formerly known as monkeypox – is a highly contagious disease and has killed at least 635 people in DR Congo this year. Even though 200000 vaccines donated by the European Commission were flown into the capital Kinshasa last week they are yet to be transported across this vast country – and it could be several weeks before they reach South Kivu. “Weve learned from social media that the vaccine is already available” Emmanuel Fikiri a nurse working at the clinic that has been turned into a specialist centre to tackle the virus told the BBC. He said this was the first time he had treated patients with mpox and every day he feared catching it and passing it on to his own children – aged seven five and one. “You saw how I touched the patients because thats my job as a nurse. So were asking the government to help us by first giving us the vaccines.” The reason it will take time to transport the vaccines is that they need to be stored at a precise temperature – below freezing – to maintain their potency plus they need to be sent to rural areas of South Kivu like Kamituga Kavumu and Lwiro where the outbreak is rife. The lack of infrastructure and bad roads mean that helicopters could possibly be used to drop some of the vaccines which will further drive up costs in a country that is already struggling financially. At the community clinic Dr Pacifique Karanzo appeared fatigued and downbeat having been rushed off his feet all morning. Although he wore a face shield I could see the sweat running down his face. He said he was saddened to see patients sharing beds. “You will even see that the patients are sleeping on the floor” he told me clearly exasperated. “The only support we have already had is a little medicine for the patients and water.

    He thought the guy he met on vacation was just a fling. He turned out to be the love of his life Pancakeswap Guillermo Barrantes relationship with Larry Mock was supposed to begin and end in Palm Springs. It was a “casual brief encounter.” A vacation dalliance that only lasted half a day. “It was just so casual so easily nothing could have happened from it” Guillermo tells CNN Travel. “We could have walked away and just had our lives separate. But of course that didn’t happen because it wasn’t meant to be that way. It was meant to be the way that it was. That it is.” It all started in summer 2013. Guillermo – then in his early 40s – was on vacation in the California resort city of Palm Springs. He was in a phase of life where he says he was prioritizing himself and wasn’t interested in long term romance. “I thrived in being by myself in traveling by myself in having dinner by myself – I loved all of that so much” says Guillermo who lived in Boston Massachusetts at the time. “I wanted no commitment I wanted no emotional entanglement of any kind. I wanted to have fun get to know myself. And it was in that mode that I met Larry when I wasn’t really looking.” During the vacation in Palm Springs Guillermo was staying at a friend’s apartment and while the friend worked during the day Guillermo passed his time at a “run-down no-frills” resort a couple of blocks away. “You could just pay for a day pass they’d give you a towel and you could be in the pool and use their bar” he recalls. One day as he was walking the palm tree-lined streets to the resort Guillermo swiped right on a guy on a dating app – Larry Mock mid-40s friendly smile. The two men exchanged a few messages back and forth. Larry said he was also on vacation in Palm Springs staying in the resort Guillermo kept frequenting. They arranged to meet there for a drink by the pool. Guillermo was looking forward to meeting Larry expecting “some casual fun.” Then when Guillermo and Larry met there was “chemistry” right away. Guillermo calls their connection “magnetic.” “My impression of Larry: sexy handsome and warm” he recalls.

    ‘A short and significant relationship’: How a piano in a pickup builds connections
    [url=https://sites.google.com/view/metamask-wallet-apps/metamask]Metamask[/url]

    Dozens of internationally renowned recording artists give concerts in Vegas every year, but the musician who connects best with people might be a local troubadour who improvises on a piano in the back of his pickup.

    The maestro, Danny Kean, calls his setup The Traveling Piano, and he has traversed North America sharing music for nearly 20 years.

    Kean’s home base is Las Vegas now, and every time he plays, he invites passersby to climb aboard the truck and tickle the ivory for themselves. Even if people are shy or say they can’t do it, Kean usually convinces them to give it a try, inspiring total strangers to express themselves through the common language of music.

    He estimates more than 100,000 people have played his piano since 2006.

    For most of these impromptu virtuosos, the experience is cathartic — many of them step down from the truck in tears. For Kean, 69, the encounters nourish his soul.

    “I enjoy sharing my music with others, but I enjoy having others share theirs with me just as much,” he said. “My goal is to connect with others by creating a short and significant relationship. Music is a great facilitator for that in every way and on every level.”

    Kean does not accept fees or tips for these musical awakenings, giving away time and energy for nothing in return. He practices philanthropy in other ways, too, providing food and other necessities for the burgeoning population of unhoused individuals in downtown Las Vegas and around the Las Vegas Valley.

    “I love the idea of strangers becoming less afraid of each other,” he said. “This love for humanity drives me to keep doing good.”
