At 23, this woman survived stroke and MS - these were side effects from contraceptives she was using.
This is more common than people speak about.
Ive been preaching this since forever: 👇
In the world of today's drugs & food, black women, especially, need to be very careful.
Despite denials from the South African Police a video from Bellville, Cape Town, appears to show officers restraining Chika Ibe, a Nigerian from Abia State, in a manner that some witnesses allege involved strangulation and suffocation. Chika Ibe later died following the incident
🇪🇬 ▪️ El juez miró al hombre que había disparado contra el presidente egipcio Anwar el-Sadat y le preguntó con calma:
—¿Por qué lo mataste?
— Porque era seglar, respondió el asesino.
El juez frunció el ceño.
— ¿Qué significa “seglar”?
El hombre dudó un segundo.
— No lo sé.
…….
▪️ En otro juicio, el acusado había intentado asesinar al escritor Naguib Mahfouz.
— ¿Por qué lo apuñalaste?
—preguntó el juez.
— Porque escribió una novela contra la religión.
—¿La leíste?
— No.
…….
▪️ En una tercera sala, otro hombre enfrentaba cargos por asesinar al intelectual Farag Fouda.
—¿Por qué lo mataste?
— Porque no tenía fe.
—¿Cómo lo sabes?
— Está en sus libros.
— ¿En cuál?
Silencio.
— No lo sé. No los he leído.
— ¿Por qué no los leíste?
El hombre bajó la cabeza.
— No sé leer ni escribir.

▫️ En los tres casos, el patrón era el mismo.
-Se mataba por ideas que no se entendían.
-Se condenaba por palabras que no se habían leído.
-Se odiaba por conceptos que no se sabían definir.
No era convicción. Era repetición.
No era fe. Era eco.
No era certeza. Era obediencia ciega.
La violencia no nació del pensamiento. Nació de la ausencia de él.
El odio no se propaga a través del conocimiento. Se propaga donde el conocimiento no llega. Y cada vez que una sociedad renuncia a educar no crea ignorantes, crea armas humanas que no saben por qué disparan, pero están dispuestas a hacerlo. Ese es el precio invisible de la ignorancia. Y siempre lo paga alguien que no hizo nada para merecerlo.

Macron se rend dans un petit village très pauvre de Lozère et demande au maire quelles sont les trois priorités de la commune
Le maire répond :
La première c'est notre hôpital
Le bâtiment est là mais il n'y a plus de médecins
Le Président sort son téléphone passe un appel et dit
The mansions are important to us. To our psychological wellbeing. To our consciousness. It’s part of our Igbo identity.
Do not worry about them. We all have plans for their disposal even if our children will not inherit them (Our own estate will be willed to the Catholic Church for a school to train more kids for @winexviv ‘s Maths Olympiad)
Taiwan solved tax evasion in 1951 with a trick so cheap it should embarrass every tax authority on the planet.
The problem was an all-cash economy full of small shops. A merchant pockets the cash, skips the receipt, and the sale never existed. Auditors can't catch what was never recorded, and hiring enough of them to watch every noodle stand costs more than the missing tax.
So finance chief Ren Xianqun flipped the incentive. Print a lottery number on every receipt. Draw winners every two months on live TV. Top prize today: NT$10 million, about $310K.
Suddenly the customer and the shopkeeper want opposite things. The merchant wants the sale off the books. The customer wants the ticket. And there are millions more customers than merchants. Every transaction now carries a built-in witness demanding the paper trail.
Year one, reported tax revenue jumped 75%, from NT$29 million to NT$51 million. Seventy-five years later, roughly 70% of Taiwanese still play. Convenience stores redeem the smallest NT$200 prizes at the register, so even a coffee receipt feels like a scratch card.
The elegant part is what the audit force costs. The prize pool runs about NT$7 billion a year, roughly $20 million. In exchange, the government gets 23 million unpaid auditors working every checkout line in the country, forever. No inspector general on earth delivers that coverage at that price.
Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Slovakia all copied it. The most effective compliance tool ever built looks like a game, and that's exactly why it works.
🚨UOL:
Endrick remains at the back of the attacking hierarchy mainly due to tactical issues.
Ancelotti wants him to press aggressively and follow instructions closely, but he often drops deep for the ball and reverts to first time shots.
🚨 ATENÇÃO!
Segundo apuração do UOL, a principal razão para Endrick ainda ser o “último da fila” na Seleção Brasileira é a questão tática.
Carlo Ancelotti espera que o atacante faça pressão alta na saída de bola adversária. No entanto, Endrick costuma recuar para buscar o jogo, deixando de cumprir essa função.
Além disso, o treinador tenta fazer com que o atacante siga mais as orientações em campo. Um exemplo citado pela reportagem é que, mesmo após ser orientado a dominar a bola antes de finalizar, Endrick frequentemente volta a chutar de primeira na jogada seguinte.
A comissão técnica, porém, trata a situação com naturalidade e entende que esse comportamento faz parte do processo de evolução de um jogador tão jovem e talentoso. Vale destacar que Endrick já decidiu partidas para Ancelotti, inclusive nos amistosos contra Croácia, Panamá e Egito.

@BSAT_Properties As far as I know, routine inspections have to be planned and that gives the kidnapper enough time to remove the person from that apartment. They're just looking for someone to blame

Last year a guy contacted my friend for a job on twitter here
Pay was $2500/month
They paid him $1000 upfront the next day, added him to their discord and TG group
After a week he had issues with their app and contacted them
They sent him a file unknowingly to him it was a
