Reminder: This is the same man the West is calling a "dictator." Well, if this is what a "dictator" can do, then we don't mind having "dictators" like Traore.

PHP tip.

If you want to add so-called "leading zeros" to the beginning of a number (typical for invoices), use the PHP function `str_pad()`.

Oh yes

Maybe a little dirt isn’t something to fear.
Maybe it’s something children actually need.

For years, we’ve been taught to keep kids spotless, sanitized, and protected from every germ. But nature tells a different story.

In Finland, researchers added forest soil, plants, and natural greenery to urban daycare playgrounds. In just 28 days, children developed healthier skin and gut microbes along with stronger immune responses.

For years, we’ve been taught to keep kids spotless, sanitized, and protected from every germ. But nature tells a different story.

In Finland, researchers added forest soil, plants, and natural greenery to urban daycare playgrounds. In just 28 days, children developed healthier skin and gut microbes along with stronger immune responses.

Why does that matter?

Because the immune system learns through exposure.
When children interact with soil, plants, fresh air, and natural environments, their bodies practice how to respond, adapt, and grow stronger.

Outdoor play is more than fun.
It’s biology shaping resilience.

A muddy shoe, dusty hands, or grass-stained clothes may look messy to us — but to a child’s immune system, it’s learning, exploring, and growing.

So perhaps the goal isn’t to raise children who are always clean.
It’s to raise children who stay connected to nature.

Let them run.
Let them explore.
Let them get a little messy.

Sometimes, health begins with a handful of soil.

Ask for genotype during talking stage not during the relationship. That should be among the first questions you ask.

You have no business entering the relationship without knowing the genotype.
