You may think so, millions of others don't and Parliament will have to make an official response. -

There have been no Marches through the streets of any major city in protest against Assad or the Houthi.. yet a million have died... 1. Israel-Hamas Conflict - Duration: Since October 7, 2023 - Death Toll: Over 44,000 Palestinians and approximately 1,200 Israelis have been killed. 2. Israel-Hezbollah Conflict - Duration: Since October 2023 - Death Toll: Over 3,500 people in Lebanon have been killed due to Israeli strikes. 3. Syrian Civil War - Duration: Ongoing since 2011 - Death Toll: Estimates vary but are placed at 617,910 course of the conflict - 90% of which were committed by pro-Assad forces. 4. Yemen Conflict - Duration: Ongoing since 2014 - Death Toll: Estimates suggest 377,000 fatalities, including combatants and civilians. 5.

Calls for a New Election Surge Amidst Labour's Challenges
Sorry I read it the other way, probably because I am so angry at the damage Labour has done so far to everyday life and the thousands who could and will die because they cannot afford to heat their homes- 1

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
^^ wonderful photos! Much more interesting than mine 🙂 Today (25th) is National Day in Myanmar, so it's a holiday. Not that it makes any difference to my daytime teaching job because I don't have to teach on Mondays! So I planned a few actions to fill my day. First I took a yellow tuk-tuk taxi to the printing shop where I previously ordered some sample prints of large-size alphabet flash cards. The cards were sort of OK, but the card that they are printed on is rather thin, but the shop doesn't have anything thicker. Hmmm... I also asked them about printing of some colour A3 vocabulary posters for schools. They can do this, but not on the thicker material that I want, and the price is really rather expensive (bear in mind that I hope to print maybe 6 different posters for perhaps 100 schools and you can imagine how the price adds up). It might actually be cheaper to buy a colour printer and a laminator and do the work myself. This is actually what I did some years ago when I lived in Naypyitaw. I need to get my calculator out! As I wandered around one of the temples, I spotted a printing machine that definitely would be rather slow to use. How old is this printing press? I remember my school in England had one of these in the basement for printing posters from metal alphabet printing 'dies'. Having exhausted what I can do as regards printing for today, my next task was to buy 2 small living plants. These are for my primary grade science students. They usually just sit and learn rote-style from the local teachers, but since I joined the school, I have got them involved in 'real' science projects. This week it's "what do plants need to stay alive?". So 2 identical plants, stop water for one plant for a few days and observe what happens, then repeat with no light and then repeat with no air (er... that last experiment might be a little difficult!). By driving around slowly in a tuk-tuk, my driver was able to find a garden shop and I purchased 2 very nice identical plants for 12,000 kyat, about $3.70. So a good price to educate my students 🙂 -

Should I buy a condo or rent?
Agree, that sounds a bit much - maybe facial recognition would be better, but without personal ID controls you have all kinds of strangers wandering around, often after having got in with a copied key card. -
