Norwegian diplomats caught up 'in the epicentre of the strike' on historic hotel, says Zelensky At least seven people have been injured after Russia launched a missile attack on the historic centre of Ukraine’s Black Sea port city Odesa, seriously damaging the Unesco World Heritage Site. President Volodymyr Zelensky said Norwegian diplomats had been among those "who were in the epicentre of the strike" and that the attack underscored the need to strengthen Ukraine’s air defences. Vladimir Putin's forces had aimed the attack "directly on the city, on ordinary civilian buildings”, he said. Meanwhile, US president Donald Trump said that his administration was in a “very serious” discussion with Russia about the Ukraine war and suggested he and Mr Putin could take “significant” action towards ending it soon. "We will be speaking, and I think will perhaps do something that'll be significant,” he said. However, when asked if he spoke directly with his Russian counterpart, Mr Trump said: "I don't want to say that." Earlier, Ukraine’s military said it had destroyed a Russian command post in the border region of Kursk. Full story

Ireland 27-22 England: Chasing a third consecutive Six Nations crown, Ireland overcame a dogged England performance with a trademark second-half surge With a new hand at the helm, the good ship Ireland is sailing successfully again. Off in search of treasure, Simon Easterby’s side embarked with victory over England; there is plenty that must be navigated before the twice defending champions begin to truly contemplate an unprecedented third consecutive Six Nations crown, but this was an excellent start. England had rocked their winning vessel in the first half with defensive zeal but there felt little doubt that an Ireland side used to rough seas would eventually emerge on top. Away they accelerated at a rate of knots to start the Easterby era with a victory made narrow by two late English tries but decided long before. Watching on from the stands as he prepares for British and Irish Lions business, Andy Farrell’s loyalties might have been rather more split than usual, but the temporarily unavailable Ireland boss would have been quietly pleased. Entrusting his first mate with the care of a winning squad, this looked very much like the Ireland of the last couple of years – keeping cool and calm even in England’s brighter patches to set off in the right direction in their hunt for history.

A small medical transport plane crashed into several buildings in the US city of Philadelphia on Friday evening, killing all six people on board and at least one other person on the ground, the mayor has confirmed. The jet was on a medical transport trip, heading to Tijuana, Mexico, with a short stop-over in Missouri. It was carrying a child patient and her mother, along with two pilots, a doctor and paramedic. They were all Mexican nationals. But just one minute after take-off, the Learjet 55 plummeted to the ground. Videos show the plane coming down quickly and sparking a huge fireball. Nineteen others were injured, though Mayor Cherelle Parker said that number could still change.

You ever just sit back with a beer and watch people go by? It’s weirdly entertaining. You see all sorts—rushed commuters, couples mid-argument, that one guy pretending he knows where he’s going. It’s just human nature, isn’t it? We’re curious. You start making up little stories—"Where’s he off to?” “What’s got her smiling like that?” "How the heck did he get her" Plus, you actually pick up on things—trends, body language, the way people interact. And honestly, it’s just relaxing. Sitting there, drink in hand, watching life happen. Simple pleasures,.I particularly enjoyed doing that in Soi 4 Bangkok watching all the different "characters" .😀

The seat hurt my bum. Who's fault was it?
CharlieH replied to Elvis Presley's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub
Clearly, you failed to bring your own premium, orthopedic, gel-cushioned, air-conditioned moto taxi seat cover. Rookie mistake. Or maybe, just maybe, you offended the sacred bond between man and machine. That bike seat has probably been through thick and thin with him—potholes, monsoons, questionable passengers—and here you are, insulting its integrity. No wonder he rode off in a huff! -
Many people indulge in "people watching" just look at all the stools facing into the street in many of the bars here.

Cayenne Pepper: A Health Powerhouse - what you need to know
CharlieH replied to CharlieH's topic in The Wellness Zone
Fair comment. As I understand it, the use of "may" or "can" is generally appropriate because individuals react differently to cayenne pepper, and its effects vary depending on its use and application. Ultimately, much more extensive research is needed, which requires funding. However, the source of that funding can influence how the results are framed, potentially to the benefit of those financing the studies. This, of course, is also true for many major pharmaceutical products. -
You dont have to post a picture; its just recommended that you do as that will mean a higher chance of selling it if people can see what you are offering. it also kind of proves it actually exists, and people can see the condition, etc.
