Farole is one tough, mad nut. A friend of mine who knows the guy told me that when Faroole walks into an office, everyone, from secretary to director, pretends to be busy just avoid his wrath. He hates lazy people sitting around doing nothing. He is the bad mean CEO that everyone fears. Even Alshabab goes into hiding upon hearing his name.

I doubt Siilaanyo is behind such, but considering the mistrust he has been accused of creating in Somaliland, I can see why some would believe he is behind the school unrest.

It will be good for Somalia for the Culusow to leave in peace. He has completely failed the country.

Good news. Is this a freezing facility only or a full tuna factory with canning abilities?

I pray to Allah these roaches are exterminated like the Orkin man.

Kenyans are realizing Somalia is not worth it.

Galbeedi is having a civilized discussion and Osaman is picking foul names out of his back pocket. Such a shame. Why not stay civil?

I don't think the capital should be moved. I think the occupiers of people's homes should be moved to the outskirts of the city.

^^ That is the same story I used to hear about the Faradheers not the other way around.

French Rap with a Somali girl. So says my friend who forwarded me this video.

Saffs, why do you guys keep this guy in office? You Canadians.

Puts things in perspective, doesn't it? A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam. That is earth!!

What a steal. I can't wait for the bariis.

Architecture and Vision The tower in the image above might look like art, but the strange 30-foot gourd shape is an incredibly practical device that can pull water out of the air — up to 25 gallons a day. The tower, called the Warka Water, works even in the desert and costs less than $700 for materials. The beauty of the structure is its low-tech simplicity. The Warka Water, a product from Architecture and Vision, is biodegradable and can be set up without mechanical tools in less than a week. The primary ingredients are bamboo — which can be bought or harvested where local conditions allow — and mesh, Architecture and Vision Director Arturo Vittori told Business Insider. Architecture and Vision "Once locals have the necessary know-how, they will be able to teach other villages and communities to build the Warka," Vittori told Tuan C. Nguyen on Smithsonian.com. Vittori created the Warka with Andreas Vogler. How It Works Each piece of the structure has a purpose. The exoskeleton of each Warka is made of bamboo and is designed for stability and ease of airflow. Inside the exoskeleton is a mesh net, designed to attract water condensation. Once collected, the droplets of water make their way down the mesh to a container at the bottom. The water that is collected is drinkable as is, as long as the local air conditions are not too polluted, said Vittori. Exactly how much water is produced depends on seasonal and climatic conditions such as humidity, wind, and temperature difference. The Warka Water is not the first mesh device designed to harvest water from the air, but it may be the most economical. It creates more water at a lower cost than its predecessors, according to Nguyen. Architecture and Vision Providing Needed Water In certain parts of rural Ethiopia, obtaining drinking water means a six-hour journey. Constructing a well close by often requires drilling a 1,600-foot hole — an expensive undertaking. "We can say a Warka could provide drinking water for a small rural community of 40 inhabitants," Vittori said, pointing out that that number would vary based on climate. Vittori hopes each one will last four to eight years with regular maintenance, but they're still doing tests. The Warka has held its own in field tests, providing more than 25 gallons of water in a day. Because it relies on temperature differences between day and night, it can collect water in the desert, where that difference can be extreme. It should get even cheaper as components are mass produced, Vittori said. Maintenance requires only that the mesh and container are cleaned regularly and broken parts are fixed. The towers aren't available yet. They're still in the testing phase. "We are looking for funding to complete the design phase and built three or four test structures in different parts of central Africa," said Vittori. The testing phase should cost less than $280,000 to complete, he said.

^^ hehe. So when is it?

The international community doesn't want three Somali speaking countries at the UN assembly. We are too small of a group to be afforded such high privilege.

<cite> @Safferz said:</cite> So in the mixed weddings you've attended in VA, do the women still do their traditional dancing and all with the men present? Or do they skip that and go for a regular DJ/Somali singer? Saffz, the ones I have been to were a mixture of DJ and Somali singers. Half of the women I normally see at the weddings wear Diracs and the rest use Western clothes. Men wear suits.

Incredible! I know what Americans are already thinking. How could a 15 year old be this dumb to assume every plane is going to Somalia. Perhaps there is more to this story than we are led to believe by the mass media. Could be he is not feeling well.

It is true what they say about Hong Kong. You can expect to always dress nice. It has the best tailors in the world. I wish our brother all the best.

And I thought you would be the Eric. B and Rakim type. What a disappointment.

<cite> @galbeedi said:</cite> Holac, what does these hedge fund managers do?. Aren't they suppose to manage other people's money. How come they are making all these millions ?. Galbeedi, the FBI has a page dedicated to them. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/investigate/white_collar/hedge-fund-fraud

^^ You come off foul-mouthed for someone who plays up the "religious" card. I don't think the people above need your pity. Fix up!

Safferz, I could swear most Somali weddings in the West are of the mixed type. Hotels and Hall reception weddings are very popular among maryoley. Of course there are some weddings I would call "aroos-meher" type where the men eat the Bariis/Hilib during the day and the ladies have their dinner dance at night, but when we speak of a "Somali Wedding at a hotel", it is most likely the mixed type. Could be we are a unique bunch here in Virginia. And who is the son-of-a-gun-lucky-mandingo?

Looks great.
