Kenya – Hyacinth Plant as Food

In 2018, Jack Oyugi revealed a way to use the Hyacinth plant.  This plant has been invading the fishing waters of Kenya.  Oyugi has come up with the Hyacinth Cake, and it is food for livestock. 
This feed contains 50% protein, it helps the animals to produce more milk, and it even cost 30% less than what is presently sold in Kenya.  The cake process involves steaming, drying, crushing and adding minerals. 
This feed comes at a time when Kenyan farmers are barely breaking even in their business.

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/
