One time, I studied abroad. There was a huge statue in the middle of that school campus.

The statue said: "Among educated persons, there are no discrimination"

'Rakhine' from 2019 books The latest book pointed finger partially to native people for leaving their land, migrating too many too fast for better opportunities in other areas of the world, instead of defending their turf, Rakhine State. Already in the early 2000s, native Rakhine population was down to less than 10% in major areas like Buu Thee Taung and Mounn Taw areas. That vacuum was quickly taken over by aliens with different religion. 'Overwhelming' may be the closest term to describe that situation

The Past (The Beginning) and The Future The Mars Pathfinder mission was an important first step in rovers for NASA. The 1997 mission included the first successful rover on Mars, called Sojourner, which was delivered to the surface by the Pathfinder lander. One of the mission's innovations was Pathfinder's landing system. Rather than using conventional rockets to touch down on the surface, NASA decided to use a cocoon of airbags instead. After going through the higher parts of the atmosphere, Pathfinder deployed a parachute and also shed the heat shield that protected the spacecraft from the heat that built up on the spacecraft during re-entry.
