Marshall Islands – Permanent Non Immigrants

About a third of the Marshallese have left their homes in the Marshall Islands.  Many of them have moved to various parts of the United States of America.  Here in America, they do not need a work visa to gain lawful employment.  They are legally allowed to live and work here without a visa or becoming a citizen.  Some people refer to the Marshallese living here as permanent Non Immigrants.

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/
