There is no money for the project yet, and Golden Dome overall is “still in the conceptual stage,”

Isaac Mpusia, a 16-year-old high schooler, was visited at home last March by a group of boys who asked for and were offered hospitality, and stayed overnight. The next day, they told him to leave with them.“They didn’t tell me (where we were going) and I was worried at first,” he says. But he understood the honor of having been chosen, and went.

Traditionally, transitioning from child to warrior as a Maasai involved taking part in a one-year warrior camp. Maasai youths would be secluded and learn survival skills, bushcraft — and, if the opportunity arose, how to kill a lion.

All that has changed. Although “Enkipaata” — the official rite of passage that includes warrior training — has been declared a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, it has been modernized.But all kidding aside, it’s been an odd season — and postseason — for the younger Haliburton.

He started slowly, even telling reporters at one point he needed to find a way to have fun again. By March, Haliburton and the Pacers were rolling.Then a publication dubbed the two-time All-Star as the NBA’s most overrated player based on an anonymous survey of the league’s players. All Haliburton has done since then is make two last-second game-winners, a buzzer-beater to force overtime and history on Tuesday night.

But perhaps the strangest twist came while he was celebrating his decisive layup with 1.3 seconds left in overtime to eliminate Milwaukee. While Haliburton jumped on the scorer’s table,Though Haliburton acknowledged his father did the wrong thing and the elder Haliburton apologized on social media for his overexuberance, he was still banned from attending all Pacers games — home and away — indefinitely.
