Those White Lines

There was a time when pedestrians felt safe using crosswalks. When these lines were "installed" on the roads, pedestrians were delighted to see them.

However, today, this sense of safety has been tampered with, and these lines have become a cause for anxiety.   The culprits behind the change may be careless drivers. Although these potions of the roads are to keep walkers safe, negligent drivers are hitting pedestrians while they are in the act of using them.


Some people may be tempted to jaywalk.  However, before doing that, keep in mind that it would be even more dangerous in non-designated areas since there is danger in the safety zone.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
