What is a Mace?

This week, a video has been trending online showing a young man who, during a protest in Kenya, walked away with the parliamentary mace, while another person left with the Speaker’s robe.
The mace is a device used in Parliament before the start of parliamentary sessions. It is brought in by designated individuals, followed by the senior leader of the Parliament.

The use of this device began in the 18th century during the Industrial Revolution in England.
According to Charles Kadonya, who is also the Clerk at the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), the use of the mace has become very common in Commonwealth member countries.

This staff symbolizes authority, and the truth is that no session or official activity can take place without the presence of this staff.
During that time, the people of England wanted to have a symbol of authority, especially when discussing matters concerning their future. That is why they decided to create a special staff to signify authority and power during their discussions.

The mace is carried by parliamentary attendants, known as ‘Sergeant at Arms,’ and is kept in a secure place.
It is carried by the parliamentary attendant who precedes the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, or Chairperson when entering and leaving the parliamentary chamber, with everyone in silence.

The mace is made from various materials, including wood and metals such as gold and bronze, and can weigh up to 10 kilograms, with costs reaching up to 1 million US dollars.

You are basically right about CGNAT, and it is pest No advantages for customers, except slower Internet with higher latency, and it might even get crowded and you will not get Internet access as you shouldAnd you do have an address on your WAN interface in your home router in the net 1006400/10 if you have CGNAT If your external WAN port do not have a public nor a CGNAT address on your WAN port but some from the private address ranges (like 19216800/16), change ISP fast, because then they are incompetent ReallyChange preferable to one that do service your proper IPv6 (a /56 net, if they deliver only a /64 to you, change to another ISP, as they then probably are incompetent Really But really check you get a /64 before you run)Your IPv6 address are a public address, as it is in the net 2000::/3 (that is the first digit is 2 or 3, then it is a public IPv6 address) We know that the netmask is /64, as all local LAN should have a /64 network in IPv6 That makes things so much simpler and actually faster routersYour IPv4 address are as it should, a private ipv4 address in the net 19216800/16, which usually is divided into /24 nets
