Bahrain – No Homework

Children, but more so many parents, will be breathing a little easier when their children return home from school.  Why and where, you may ask?  In Bahrain, the Minister of Education, Majid Al Nuaimi, has cancelled homework assignments from school.  Wow!  I know that some teachers around the world may choose not to give their students homework but to have this directive from the top… wow!
One mother is quoted as saying, “It’s not easy at all, and the situation is compounded when she comes home to do assignments that I cannot comprehend.”

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/
