There are 100 million plus people in the USA that are either unvaccinated or haven't been vaccinated in over 30 years ( tetanus shot half life ~10 years). Drum roll......... 2.5 of these die a year. Same as zero and those that die are extremely unhealthy and tetanus just provide their body the final excuse to throw in the towel.

The forum, held at the Bashir Rameev IT Park, brings together leaders from all 11 ASEAN countries, including new member East Timor, alongside international organisations, major companies and media representatives. Organised by Russia’s Ministry of Economic Development and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the event aims to deepen trade and investment ties while exploring new areas of cooperation. Hun Manet is joined by Tan Monivann, Vice President of the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce, senior officials and private sector delegates. The Cambodian team is attending meetings designed to expand business relations and strengthen economic cooperation both bilaterally with Russia and within the wider ASEAN framework. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said leaders will exchange views on pressing international and regional issues, while also promoting cooperation in political, economic and humanitarian spheres. She noted that joint documents are expected to be signed, setting priorities for the next phase of Russia‑ASEAN dialogue. Zakharova highlighted ASEAN’s economic weight, describing it as the world’s fifth‑largest economy with a combined GDP of $3.9 trillion and trade turnover of $3.8 trillion. She said systemic work is underway in areas including energy, agriculture, education, science, technology, digitalisation and tourism. For Cambodia, participation in the forum underscores its ambition to attract new investment and diversify partnerships beyond its traditional allies. The summit also marks a return to in‑person diplomacy after the last Russia‑ASEAN meeting in 2021 was held online due to the pandemic. -2026-06-17Wed, 17 Jun 2026 03:31:28 +0000I still wonder what will they do with the seized assets ?

Best of luck whichever method you do use and advise success or failure so others can see first hand what might be.Wed, 17 Jun 2026 03:28:27 +0000Cambodia’s Techo International Airport has been named one of the world’s most beautiful airports in 2026, a recognition that places Phnom Penh’s new gateway alongside some of the most striking terminals worldwide. The accolade was announced on 15 June by Prix Versailles, the international architecture award that celebrates projects blending culture, heritage and sustainability. The airport, located 20 kilometres south of the capital, was described as a “symbol of renewal” reflecting permanence and stability, with its name recalling a royal title granted to Khmer heroes centuries ago. Designed by Foster + Partners, the terminal combines modern engineering with traditional Cambodian motifs. A sweeping roof canopy shortens walking distances and simplifies navigation, while its undulating central rise echoes the grandeur of palaces and temples. Inside, ceilings inspired by bamboo basket weaving reduce reliance on artificial lighting and ventilation, while rumduol trees — Cambodia’s national flower — grow within the building’s central void. The airport spans more than 2,600 hectares across Kandal and Takeo provinces. Officially inaugurated in October 2025 and operational since September, it is classified as a 4F‑level facility, capable of handling the world’s largest aircraft including the Airbus A380 and Boeing 747. Techo International Airport joins Guangzhou Baiyun, Frankfurt, Navi Mumbai, and San Diego among the seven projects honoured this year. Three will later receive World Titles for interior or exterior design. The awards highlight a shift in airport architecture towards creating more harmonious passenger experiences. The recognition follows another milestone: Techo was ranked fifth globally among new airport terminals in the 2026 Skytrax World Airport Awards. For Cambodia, the twin honours mark not only a leap in infrastructure but also a statement of national pride, positioning the country’s newest hub as a showcase of heritage and modernity. -2026-06-17Wed, 17 Jun 2026 03:28:04 +0000MentalWed, 17 Jun 2026 03:24:36 +0000On the subject of Wales.
