I’ll admit it: I’m more of a Simpsons guy than a South Park guy. Nothing really against those South Park guys – I’ve caught plenty of episodes over its astonishing near-30-year run, and loved the 1999 big-screen movie. But while I haven’t always maintained clockwork viewership of The Simpsons, either, those characters have proved durable enough to revive my interest in episodes old and new.

While their work sometimes overlaps, each type of consulting engineer brings a distinct set of skills and responsibilities to the table. Understanding the differences between these roles is essential for anyone engaging in construction and infrastructure planning, or industrial development. Civil Engineers are the Infrastructure Architects Civil consulting engineers are perhaps the most broadly…

Tunis — President Kaïs Saïed made an unannounced visit on Thursday to the Rabta Hospital, where he emphasized that “every emergency patient must be treated immediately, without financial conditions or prior administrative formalities.” During the unannounced visit, the Head of State inspected the emergency department, spoke with medical staff, and listened to their concerns.

The Top 3 GoPro Hero Cameras ComparedGoPros to AvoidGoPro doesn’t sell anything older than the Hero 12, but there are plenty of Hero 11s and even Hero 10s out there for sale on the internet.
