Monday november 4th, Ruby Wax presented her book “Sane New World” (Dutch “Tem je Geest”) during an interview by Renate van der Zee.
Interview was held in thé most beautiful and exclusive bookshop of The Hague Paagman, in front of an approx 300 head audience.
Ruby Wax, an American comedian, writer and mental health campaigner, opened herself up to the audience and gave the interviewer Renate “A hard time” every now and then, by answering even before the question was asked.
Meaning Ruby was very aware and clear about her own personal story she wanted to tell. Ruby got a master in mindfulness which she got from the university of Oxford.
She expressed herself in her own special way by using arms and body language to reach the audience, which helped as at one point she had the 300 doing exercises in order to hear themselves breathing and grounding.
Although she felt a little ill, Ruby took all the time needed to give autographs and had a kind word for everybody in the, which I think was the longest line ever in Paagman bookshop.
As a surprise Victor (?) turned up, a student who recently dedicated a poem during the TV program ‘College Tours’.
Impressive, catching….one word: Buy the book if you can..!

Female Ruby-throated Hummingbird at Eagle Creek Park, Indiana. Still working through things on getting a perfect frozen-wing shot of a hummingbird using a single flash (I only own one). This is my best attempt yet with very little "ghosting".
The ruby-throated hummingbird (Archilochus colubris) is a species of hummingbird that generally spends the winter in Central America, Mexico, and Florida, and migrates to Eastern North America for the summer to breed. It is by far the most common hummingbird seen east of the Mississippi River in North America.
This hummingbird is from 7 to 9 cm (2.8 to 3.5 in) long and has an 8 to 11 cm (3.1 to 4.3 in) wingspan. Weight can range from 2 to 6 g (0.071 to 0.212 oz), with males averaging 3.4 g (0.12 oz) against the slightly larger female which averages 3.8 g (0.13 oz).[2][3] Adults are metallic green above and greyish white below, with near-black wings. Their bill, at up to 2 cm (0.79 in), is long, straight, and very slender. As in all hummingbirds, the toes and feet of this species are quite small, with a middle toe of around 0.6 cm (0.24 in) and a tarsus of approximately 0.4 cm (0.16 in). The ruby-throated hummingbird can only shuffle if it wants to move along a branch, though it can scratch its head and neck with its feet

Ruby-throated Hummingbirds have many skeletal and flight muscle adaptations which allow the bird great agility in flight. Muscles make up 25-30% of their body weight, and they have long, bladelike wings that, unlike the wings of other birds, connect to the body only from the shoulder joint. This adaptation allows the wing to rotate almost 180°, enabling the bird to fly not only forward but also straight up and down, sideways, and backwards, and to hover in front of flowers as it feeds on nectar and insects.
During hovering, ruby-throated hummingbird wings beat 55x/sec, 61x/sec when moving backwards, and at least 75x/sec when moving forward.
