Continuing today’s mirror theme, here’s a cute video for French musician Yuksek‘s single ‘Off The Wall’ (geddit?), produced by SoLab.
The making of video shows how it was done by running the same sequence, minus the mirror effect.

Two seals were discovered on Tramore Beach, Co Waterford (above) during the past 24 hours with gunshot wounds.
From Irish Seal Sanctuary
The Irish Seal Sanctuary was horrified to learn that adult grey seals were coming ashore dying from bullet wounds to their heads. The first, a mature bull seal had been shot with what appears to be a .22 bullet to the head. Had this been an authorised shooting under license from the NPWS [National Parks and Wildlife Service] it would have been shot with a weapon capable of killing it outright.
