Wow, go Mongolia

well yeah, when you have experience you know how to do things better, look at South Korea and Taiwan, they had SARS years ago, so they knew how to deal with this one. Death Tolls leads to learning how to prevent it again. The issue is when you havent faced it before, how you deal with it, especially given different political, infrastructure, geography, etc from different countries that makes it hard to take the plans of one and replicate it in another.

Unfortunately, these extremely busy women are still expected to take on the full load of a stay at home wife and mother. Socially, husbands are expected to not help, looked down on if they do, and often, it is looked down on to hire servants. At least it was like this a few years ago. These women are powerhouses with the loads they are carrying.

Poor mice

I NEED this soap. I will eat it if necessary. I am a mosquito magnet.

The holes were already dug and they didn't water, but still hugely impressive!

Israel still uses a system where each party has a letter of the hebrew alphabet as their symbol, you take one card with the party you wants letter, put it in a envelope, seal it, and then place then you leave the privacy room and go to the room with the box where you put the envelope inside while a poll watcher sees. Was done because many of so many Jewish refugees from so many countries arriving in 1949 and just before, that they needed a way to make voting simple. They still use it.

Maybe shortest, but not the tightest. That honour belongs to Split with Pusti me da prođem Street. ♡

Because they didn't think it important enough to state what it was for, it was the Nobel Peace Prize. It was awarded jointly with Denis Mukwege for "their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict"

I watched a documentary on this a long time ago. It was built in a really windy place, Dubai I believe. The building is shaped to help guide wind towards the turbines. And the bridges are designed to expand and contract since the two buildings will shake and shift a little differently than one another in high winds.

I bet this is better than The Apprentice.

Here, am I sitting in my tin coin, Far above the world, Planet Earth is blue.

It may be overreacting to say "That alone warrants their doom", but still...

It was called the Tree of Ténéré. In 1973 it was hit by a drunk truck driver. Goes to prove that you will ALWAYS find something to hit when driving drunk.

The culture, society, and population goes back 60,000 years, so definitely NOT young!

This is a complicated/ fascinating story - the jester's name was Jesse Bogdonoff and he was accused of mismanaging millions of dollars worth of Tonga's money.
