@marga_m22 @pdv Extreemrechts en extreemlinks kiezen in dit qua aard en geschiedenis heel complexe conflict vlug de ene of andere kant - extreemrechts voor de #Israëliërs, extreemlinks voor de #Palestijnen. Alles is dan zwart of wit, wat er niet bijpast wordt niet overwogen. Terwijl een oplossing en - op de heel lange termijn - verzoening - slechts mogelijk worden door onderhandelingen en compromissen die door beide partijen worden aanvaard.

Wat een beerput! Conny Helder heeft hier een onvergeeflijke fout gemaakt. Zo te lezen heeft ze er geen spijt van. Er zijn geen excuses gemaakt aan de zorgmedewerkers die tot op heden nog steeds ziek zijn. En dan hebben we het nog niet gehad over de nabestaanden van alle overledenen.
Weten jullie nog hoe Jos de Blok van Buurtzorg verguisd werd, omdat hij wél mnm inkocht voor zijn personeel?

Het virus verspreidt zich snel. Er is geen medicijn voor dit virus. En een aantal besmette Amerikanen wordt overgebracht van Congo naar Duitsland voor controle en monitoring.
Waarom kan dit niet in Congo? Waarom risico's lopen op verdere verspreiding? Waarom?

Burgemeester Beesel overweegt stappen na vuurwerkincident - https://nos.nl/r/474126
Burgemeester overweegt stappen. Welke? Geen algeheel verbod volgend jaar, want daarvoor was dit niet erg genoeg (lees: geen gewonden). Hoeveel gewonden moeten er zijn voor een vuurwerkverbod?
Hij weet dat politie dat verbod graag wil, maar omdat er in zijn gemeente geen ernstige incidenten zijn geweest met politie, komt er geen verbod. Bij hoeveel incidenten zou dat verbod er wel komen? #oogkleppenop

Working list: Tallest buildings of global low-profile cities

So often we see lists here and there, including on this website, that identify the tallest buildings in the world, country, nation, or state. As result most lists will include places like Dubai, New York City, Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Chicago, and other major metropolises. Rarely, if ever are lists published of the tallest building/structure in low-profile cities that are typically not known for skyscrapers.

Provided below is a working list of the tallest building/structure in low-rise cities around the globe. Many are World Heritage Cities designated by UNESCO. Others are centers of history, government, culture, art, or religion. Due to their “special” place in world/national history, limitations on the development of skyscrapers have been imposed to preserve and maintain the unique and special aesthetics that epitomize the city.

In preparing this list, only occupiable buildings and structures are included, so there are no smokestacks, broadcast antennas, wind turbines, or similar towers on the list. By far, the majority of the resulting buildings/structures are religious in nature – churches, mosques, temples, basilicas, abbeys, etc. Capitol buildings/city halls are fairly common and then there is an assortment of other structures.

Every precaution was taken to avoid including a city that has a busy skyline filled with skyscrapers. In an attempt to assure this, even cities where towering edifices are set aside to one segment of the city (such as Paris) were not included. If skyscrapers are confined to separate suburbs or jurisdictions (such as Arlington, Virginia across from Washington D.C.), then the core city and building are incorporated. Regardless, any additions, corrections, or suggestions are most welcome to assure this working list is as accurate as possible.

Peace!
