Faced with the prospect of closure amid the coronavirus pandemic, a cozy tapas bar in the centre of Madrid appealed to its clients in an emotional video in late October to help it stay afloat by paying for their food and drink in advance. Over the past five weeks, El miniBAR has received 40,000 euros ($48,592) from some 400 loyal customers who prepaid for food and drink they hope to return to the bar to enjoy later. Owner Nacho Bustos keeps a list and the customers just need to give their phone number so the amount is deducted from what they paid in advance.

After the unboxing video for GoPro Hero 9 Black (see the link below), as promised, we are back with the first hands-on experience of Hero 9. Putting this camera to some tough task, I have taken it for rafting on Ganges. Task was to test on many things. The picture and colour quality of the video, stabilisation as promised by the Hyper Smooth 3.0 function and its sturdiness. Colours are amazing, images are sharp. Camera took a heavy splash of water a number of times and well, it was fun every time. Results are here for all to so, also look the smoothness of the video even when the raft is riding on unsettling waves or even dropping in a gorge! Robust camera comes out a winner every time. https://youtu.be/uerbDEg7sOc See the unboxing video of GoPro Hero 9 Black: : https://youtu.be/t...
