Usually they get a long term lease on a street front property which is owned by the corporation. The kitchen equipment is proprietary.

At the risk of being misunderstood, no matter how many slums the government renovates in Nigeria, most of them will eventually return to the same state. So it’s pointless.

People’s environment is a big reflection of their mindset, that’s why when you grow mentally, you begin to feel really uncomfortable about even your physical environment and appearance, you want to do anything within your ability to keep at least your own personal spaces neat, even though a neat slum.

And this is not a matter of rich or poor, you can be poor financially but rich in mindset, the riches in the mindset will automatically reflect in the slum environment.

Have you ever worn a cloth neatly for years and the moment you give it out to someone, it only a matter of few weeks before that beautiful cloth begin to turn brown and fade away. This one still happened to me last Christmas.

The first step to transformation is not changing from outside, it’s really changing from inside out!
Maintenance culture is more about the quality of the users mind and not so much about budgets.

Build the roads, but importantly build the people.

@doomangolee Sorry, you misunderstood. நான் சொல்ல வந்தது வேறு. எப்போதுமே பதிவுகள் கவனமாகவும் கண்ணியமாகவும் இருக்க வேண்டும் என்பதே என் கருத்து, regardless of who follows us.

Body transfer illusion

The illusion of owning a part/or entire body other than one's own

sight, touch and proprioception (a sense of body position) all combine to convince this person that a rubber hand is their body part 1/🧵

Women should always have the right to choose when it comes to their bodies and their health. Restricting access to #abortion does not reduce the number of procedures — it drives women and girls towards unsafe ones. Access to safe abortion saves lives.

How's Germany doing as it scrambles to cut its reliance on Russian energy?

Here’s a look at the progress so far – how much imports of Russian coal, oil and gas have fallen since the war in Ukraine broke out 🏭⛽️🛢️

[Gokul @mgokulprasad]

@beekay_hq @TheEconomist You could be right regarding Russian gas. Maybe they won't give it up. But they're actually looking to cut ties with Russia in every possible way in support of Ukraine. That's the difference I'm talking about.

[Gokul @mgokulprasad]

@beekay_hq @TheEconomist True. But there is a difference no? Europe is currently having a discussion on placing an embargo on Russian gas and openly condemning Russia.

I love the Russian people. That is why I have to tell you the truth. Please watch and share.

This is Anastasiia Yalanskaya 🇺🇦

She was killed yesterday, just outside Kyiv, delivering supplies to a dog shelter that was without food for 3 days

The car she was in was targeted at close range

Yalanskaya stayed behind in Kyiv to volunteer as everyone fled around her

[Justin Meyers @MapMakinMeyers]

Super dumb question - how long does the world sit here and let Ukraine be destroyed? Like is it an ethical thing? let 44 million die vs a potential nuclear global thing or am I missing something?

I thought I won't laugh but by the time the song passed on to the last guy, I was laughing aloud. The blue tshirt chap's snort laugh killed me 🤣
Thanks for the forward, @binds05 !

Just saw a tweet saying “Both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated can catch Covid.”

A doctor responded: “Both Serena Williams and I can play tennis."

@hoffsbeefs Too early to say. I want to see how this works in practice and at what scale. Also curious what happens with the additional nitrogen that is generated.

Taliban has now taken over the Norwegian Embassy in Kabul. Say they will return it to us later. But first wine bottles are to be smashed and childrens’ books destroyed. Guns apparently less dangerous. Foto: Aftenposten, Norway
