She's a beautiful young lady.

Protect your baby from these nasty little boys and men.

There are people working long hours in stressful jobs who don't get consistently paid. Even when they get paid, it's scraps. There are people with engineering degrees doing multiple unskilled jobs abroad. The problem isn't them, it's government. More specifically, it's a combination of outsiders sabotaging the country and economy, and the narcissists who enable them.

Since when do oyinbos engage in fair trade?

They go out of their way to steal billions (and ensure they can continue to) all the time.

That said, there are indeed companies in Nigeria and all over Africa worth that much and more. There are also startups with that potential.

Interesting.

You can graft pretty much any nightshade vegetables onto a potato plant. And you can grow multiple things on a single plant, for example, eggplant, habanero, and bell peppers on a potato plant. You can also graft within a species, e.g. prunus (stone) fruits. However, you can easily kill the main plant or lose the graft if you're not very careful.

You really have to do your research. But it's definitely worth it if you're growing in a small space for personal use.

Lol! How do you know?

She has the face of a woman that likes to get folded, and doesn't care about vows.

lol That lady looks like she cheats. She looks like she'd marry a 102 year old man if the money was right.

Honestly, you shouldn't trust someone like that. I wouldn't put it past him to be physically abusive. Furthermore, if a man thinks that little of women, he may like men.

Yes. Why wouldn't that be possible? Unless he's a robot.

What is happening in African and Caribbean Nations?
Zanzibar hired former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to help expedite the implementation of MKUZA, its 2025 policy plan of economic growth and poverty reduction and the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has been hired by President Samia to handle two of her administration’s key projects: the fight against Covid-19 and rebuilding Tanzania’s international reputation. Why all these now?

I don't know about other places, but a lot of oil money is about to drop in Guyana. They're a small country with a very small population, so I think it's reasonable to have someone like that on their board (for now). It's not much different from using consultants. They need the help.

So the development that's driving all of this is CLT, cross laminated timber.

When you think about it, if this works, you can "print" a whole city. And it only takes 2 months to build one of these.

Here's more on the material.

apawood.org/cross-laminated-timber

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a large-scale, prefabricated, solid engineered wood panel. Lightweight yet very strong, with superior acoustic, fire, seismic and thermal performance, CLT is also fast and easy to install, generating almost no waste onsite. CLT offers design flexibility and low environmental impacts. For these reasons, cross-laminated timber is proving to be a highly advantageous alternative to conventional materials like concrete, masonry or steel, especially in multifamily and commercial construction.

A CLT panel consists of several layers of kiln-dried lumber boards stacked in alternating directions, bonded with structural adhesives, and pressed to form a solid, straight, rectangular panel. CLT panels consist of an odd number of layers (usually, three to seven,) and may be sanded or prefinished before shipping. While at the mill, CLT panels are cut to size, including door and window openings, with state-of-the art CNC (Computer Numerical Controlled) routers, capable of making complex cuts with high precision. Finished CLT panels are exceptionally stiff, strong and stable, handling load transfer on all sides.

Long-serving United Kingdom parliamentarian, David Lammy, has been selected by Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali to sit on the Natural Resource Fund (NRF) Board which will be chaired by former military chief, Retired Major General Joseph Singh, the Office of the President announced on Wednesday.

Lammy, who is currently Shadow Foreign Secretary, is the son of a Guyanese mother who migrated to the United Kingdom as part of the 1948-1971 Windrush Generation.

Also sitting on the NRF Board to help manage Guyana’s oil revenues is Guyana’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Carolyn Rodrigues who is also a former Guyana Foreign Minister.

Other members are private sector representative, well-known city business executive Ramesh Dookhoo and former People’s National Congress Reform (PNCR) executive member, former bauxite industry executive Dunstan Barrow.

Nominees by the opposition A Partnership for National Unity and its coalition partner, Alliance For Change, for the parliamentary representative had been all rejected by the governing People’s Progressive Party Civic in favour of Mr. Barrow.

The NRF Board Chairman served the Guyana Defence Force from 1965 until his retirement as Chief-of-Staff in 2000. He then went on to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company, Executive Director of Conservation International, Chairman of the Guyana Elections Commission , and Presidential Advisor.

Other wood skyscrapers around the world

I have to admit, I would want to wait a few decades before fully trusting these structures.

The project, named Rocket&Tigerli, will consist of four buildings including one that boasts a 100-meter-tall (328-foot) tower. The development will be built in the Swiss city of Winterthur, which is located near Zurich.

The design will offer modern, high-quality housing with a maximum inflow of daylight, according to its designers, the Danish firm Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects (SHL). It will also seek to create an active neighborhood that will be "rooted in the area's historical context," according to a press release from the firm. The facade, for example, will be covered in dark red and yellow terracotta bricks combined with dusty green-colored details -- in keeping with the red roofs and yellow bricks of the older buildings in the surrounding area.

"We approach this project with a great sense of humbleness," Kristian Ahlmark, partner and design director at SHL, is quoted as saying in the press release.

"It is a big project that will have a significant influence on the community, socially as well as aesthetically. Because of the strong expertise Switzerland has, when it comes to building in wood, we are particularly proud to be working on this ground-breaking project."

The four buildings will comprise of housing facilities as well as spaces for retail, a sky bar and a hotel. It is expected to be completed and ready for residents to move into by 2026.

The project marks a milestone in the construction of timber buildings, said SHL. The firm added that, at 100 meters, it sets the record for residential buildings with a load-bearing timber construction, and "introduces an innovative construction system that examines wood as a natural replacement for concrete."

"This makes it possible to build taller constructions while, at the same time, ensures that the entire building process achieves a lower amount of embedded carbon," the press release stated.

It's pretty messed up to suggest love and intimacy are only for people of means. And it's not good for society to normalize this view of relationships.

Some of you really don't like women. So you must like men. LiVe yOuR tRuTh.

There's only 2 genders. And no one should be forced to act out someone's gross fetish.

That said, g4ys and l3sbians are totally different from BTQ+ delusions. And the simple fact is that people need to mind their business and respect each other. If you don't agree, fine, but don't try to make people's lives miserable. If that's who you are, fine, but don't pressure people to accept unreasonable things.

Bangladesh is a major hub for human tr4fficking.

Yáhoo boys are the least of their concerns. They're probably only arresting them because they don't get any of their money.

It's a fair decision given the nature of Russia. They have too much control over their people, and it's just a mess. Furthermore, they need to face consequences because if they don't reel in Russia now, they're going to keep pushing. This is a part of avoiding warfare where no one really wins.

Sojaboy's people don't play.

I feel you, op.

That's funny, but what kind of father needs to do that to comfort their child?

The airline is at fault for not having security. Passengers shouldn't even be in the situation where they have to defend themselves. And lately there's been a lot of incidents. It's normal for someone to get drunk and maybe be a bit loud, but these people are getting physical.

Mind you, Tyson was nice to him and took a pic. Then this guy escalated from talking to getting in his personal space and then being physical.

He's lucky Tyson slapped him instead of punching. He should be banned from flying for several years.

Passion for life made me a surgeon, it's just crazy it will be at the expenses of my personal life.

It's temporary. When things calm down, you can date again.

At this point in your life, you don't have the time or energy to be someone's partner. It's not fair to them or yourself.

1. Intentionally being a single parent is gross unless you're adopting a child, or you're an exceptionally good parent.

2. There's no deadline for marriage. Don't be irrational and ignorant.

They're definitely risky. People with health issues should generally avoid them.

But if someone has a major health issue that's interfering with relationships and their quality of life, it's not unreasonable to seek this as a solution (under doctor guidance and support).

It depends on specifically what they do.

In some cases you should just cut them off. In others, set boundaries. In some situations where you can see they're not beyond help, help them stop unhealthy behavior.
