Tourists Share Fascinating Cultural Observations From Abroad
Home > Culture > Tourists Share Fascinating Cultural Observations From Abroad
by David Cunningham
As we go about our daily lives and routines we rarely think too much about what we're doing. We go to work, we come home, and we go out. What seems normal to us, though, may seem a bit strange to those on the outside. Of course, from our perspective the same thing can be said about people living in other countries. When we go on vacation, we're likely to see something that may seem incredibly strange to us, yet is perfectly normal to the local residents. It's easy for tourists to misinterpret and misunderstand local norms and traditions. Dynamic cultural differences may explain some of the strange things we experience, but some of these cultural norms are probably better left unexplained.

60. Bike borrower
How bout positive cultural observation?
Living in Japan, I never locked my bike once and only locked my apartment if on week-long trips or something like that.
My bike was only 'stolen' once and it was returned that day with a note from my salaryman neighbor who needed it cause his car broke down. He knew I could walk to work so it wasn't a big deal and he left a six-pack on my porch that evening.

59. Nice scam, kbye
In many Southeast Asian countries, getting caught trying to scam someone doesn't have too much a level of shame, it is just throw hands up and "oh, nice try, we're still good."
For example, you arrive in Hanoi and tell the taxi driver to take you to your hotel. He drives you while talking on the phone, you arrive somewhere that isn't your hotel, and some nice guy who speaks some English comes out to explain that your hotel burned down last week, stay here instead.
If you refuse to pay the driver until he takes you to see your burned down hotel, everyone shrugs and laughs, then you get dropped off at your perfectly intact hotel that didn't burn down after all, pay the cab, and all is good. No hard feelings.
58. That Australian humor
The copious amounts of sarcasm in Australia. American visitors here believe EVERYTHING Australians say because they say it with a straight face.
"Oh yeah, it was the 1938 winter Olympics I think… Yeah, they used white paint on plywood because there was no snow, and HD TV hadn't been invented yet."
57. Caught slipping
I lived in Japan for a while. One of the less obvious cultural differences was when going to other people's houses, they would leave out slippers to wear. I have size 9 (US 11) feet, and they'd leave these dainty women's slippers out for me. I would explain I was fine to just walk around in socks as they didn't have slippers, but since this was rude, they would end up raiding their slipper supply to try and find a pair that fit just for me. Every time.

56. Time is relative in Barcelona
Spain. Specifically Barcelona and their relaxed outlook on life and time. It seems like they know how to live, because they find happiness in things that I never could.
That's all good and well when you're traveling here for a couple days. But man, it is so frustrating to get anything done. I've been living here for over 4 months now and still don't have my residency card, which means that every time I want to leave the country I have to go through 892734897 bureaucratic processes to get a permit to leave and come back, only for them to not ask for it at the border because they couldn't care less.

55. I prefer the ice cream truck
Garbage trucks played "Für Elise" as they rode around, and it sounded like ice cream truck music when I was in Taiwan. I sort of miss hearing it in the distance.
In case anyone is wondering, it's because people are supposed to bring out their trash and throw it in the truck, not put it outside for collection. They usually come around twice a day and play their music to announce themselves.
Another fun Taiwan culture shock: In fancy malls and stores, at closing time the staff lines up at the exits to say goodbye and bow as you leave.

54. Look death in the eye
Witnessing different funeral customs in India and Nepal …..what struck me is that death is so much more hidden away in North America.
In the south of India, a funeral procession came down the street carrying the body of a young woman tied to a big pink comfy-looking armchair hung with marigolds. In the north of India, I saw open funeral pyres along the riverside ghats, and even saw bodies that had been placed in the Ganges floating by.
In Nepal I was invited to a funeral and watched as they built a wooden pyre beforehand. While my Nepali friends and I watched, they told me that it was considered good luck to see a body coming to a funeral.
It was just so out in the open. It was culture shock for me, but I liked that nobody was expected to hold back their tears or hide their grief discreetly away. In fact, my friend says that even if you are not fond of the person who died, you should try to show some tears anyway out of respect.

53. The same but different
Here's one that applies broadly to travel for me: In Australia, you can travel 4,000km to Perth from Sydney and people are going to be mostly the same as they were in Sydney, in my opinion. In England, you can travel an hour and find a whole different accent and way of life to the one you left. It's such a small place, but the more you start unpacking it, the bigger and bigger it gets. I guess the point is wherever you go, people are exactly the same while simultaneously being completely different. It sounds stupid but I think it's the truth.
52. Back to the rat race
Taught English in Mexico for a year.
I was shocked at how friendly and inviting everyone is and how simple life can be. Life is not easy for most folks but they make it work. Their life hacks are crazy and the pace of life is great. I had a hard time when I got back to the States and had to adjust to speeding cars, 5 lane freeways and the feeling of always being in a rush.

51. Italian telephone
When kids in Greece lose their teeth, they throw the teeth off a roof instead of leaving them for the tooth fairy.
In Brazil when entering a home they ask if you want to take a shower.
In Spain during the afternoon they close shops for 2 hours to have a break from work.
My favorite: In Italy they use a form of communication where they will call someone, let it ring once, and then hang up. Usually the person they are calling knows what's up and can tell what was the purpose of the phone call without even having to pick it up.

50. No Kanye in Korea???
I've been living in Korea for five years. When I got here, I'd already done a fair amount of traveling, so I didn't really expect much in the way of culture shock. I was fine with the food and language and manners, so nothing really phased me.
Like three months into my first year, I was driving around with a Korean friend when he put on some music. It was Pit Bull. We started talking about hip hop and what each of us liked. I mentioned Kanye. I'll never forget what my Korean friend said.
"Kanye? Who's that?"
That was the biggest, mind blowing thing that has happened to me in the entire five years I've been here. Someone that was a proclaimed hip hop fan had never heard of Kanye West.
I just remember thinking, "What country am I in right now?"

49. A Sombre Celebration
Balinese funerals and how they celebrate death. I was sitting on the beach on my first day there and heard a crowd coming, carrying food and playing festive music. I thought it was some kind of party or wedding until I realized they were carrying a corpse.

48. No Pickpockets
Moved to Toronto from Dublin 3 years ago. It still amazes me how open and trusting people are with their stuff in public: iPhone 7's hanging out of back pockets, parked car windows left open etc. At home in Dublin, especially around the city centre, you just couldn't do that! We have situations at home where people will actually ride past you on a bike and snatch your phone out of your hand while you're talking on it.
On a slightly negative side, it's nuts how people drive here, very rushed and angry, and the fact that cars can still turn when there's a pedestrian light is crazy to me.

47. Friendly America
I'm from Japan, and I was shocked by how friendly most people in the U.S. are. When we were buying groceries, the cashier would make small talk with us about what we were buying. I bought KFC and was having trouble with American coins (they're all the same color!) and the nice cashier helped me. My uncle was raised in the U.S. and knew all his neighbors. I'd walk his dog while I was there and people would just randomly stop and talk to me about the dog.
The friendliness makes my trips to the U.S. very wholesome and nice.

46. Not Candy Canes
Singapore still whips people with canes as punishment for crimes! And apparently people pass out from the pain.
DesertRebel
45. Making Friends
As an American Southerner, trying to make friends traveling Europe alone was an interesting experiment. Germans and Belgians thought I was a whackjob for speaking to strangers randomly, but I had some great conversations in France and the Netherlands.
That said, in Germany at least, I found that once you infiltrate a friend group, they can be very inclusive and protective. Obviously anecdotal, but they agreed when I mentioned it. Most people I interacted with don't do small-talk and would go straight to topics that Americans would consider rude when talking with a stranger.

44. Tax On Flavor
In Umbria, part of Italy, for hundreds of years they have refused to put salt in their bread because of a salt tax imposed when the Pope was fighting the Holy Roman Emperor. They got so used to it, they never changed it, but I assure you, Italian bread tastes better with salt.

43. Everywhere Is A Restaurant
My parents are Chinese but I grew up in Europe, therefore I'm considered a banana.
Some years ago, I was visiting my family in China. We were in a very rural area with lots of small cottages. We saw a family eating dinner and my grandma asked them if we could join. So we paid a few bucks and ate a meal with a random family. Not really a shock but it felt really weird, this idea that you can just buy in on someone else's family dinner and pull up a chair.

42. A Little Perspective
When I went to Bangladesh with my girlfriend last year, we went to the city her father grew up in before he came to the States. I remember at one point we walked past a station where we saw people climbing on the roof of a train due to the crowding. It was quite an eye opener. After seeing that, I have never complained about riding the subway again.

41. Midnight Meal
Despite my parents being Argentinean, we eat dinner at around 7 or 8 p.m. You should have seen my face when I went to visit family and found out it's the norm to eat dinner there around 10 or 11 p.m. Make sure you have a late lunch!

40. Siesta Fiesta
Nap-time is everything in Spain. I visited Barcelona a few months ago, and it was my first time in Spain. I couldn't believe when my friend told me that all the shops and businesses are closed because it's "siesta time." I love my naps and all, but that just drove me crazy.

39. Six Hours
I was chatting with a girl from London recently, and when she asked if I had visited the Grand Canyon before, I said I haven't despite it being just a six hour drive. I believe her response was something along the lines of: "Only six hours? If I drive for six hours I will be all the way in Spain!"
RIPGeorgeHarrison
38. Germ-Free Germany
You won't believe how clean the bathrooms are in Germany. I've frequently visited for business reasons, and I've hit up the rest of Europe too, but Germany takes the cake in terms of cleanliness in the bathrooms. Every stay, I found my bathroom to be absolutely spotless. I found their bathrooms to be cleaner than the rooms.

37. Ride Sharing In Ethiopia
We were traveling north in the Omo Valley region in Ethiopia, so we caught an already quite full bus with few spaces available. I managed to accommodate half myself in a seat and a Norwegian friend sat above the tire. We were bumping along fairly nicely when suddenly a local guy wearing only a loincloth and holding a long stick came aboard. All the seats were taken, so he stood next to my Norwegian friend.
We kind of expected something like this since this area is rural. After a few miles, the driver stopped, cramped more people and 3 goats, two in the roof and one behind the last row of seats. We definitely did not expect this. It was an incredibly funny, uncomfortable and surreal situation with my friend trying not to bump into the tribesman on every bump and the goats screaming like they were getting slaughtered… good old traveling times.

36. Take My Watch, Please
In Jordan, and I'm sure in most Arab countries, if you compliment something, it's considered impolite for the person not to offer it to you. I thought the warnings were an exaggeration until my friend complimented a waiter's watch and the waiter had it literally unlatched, trying to push it into my friend's hands. Four is the appropriate amount of times to say no, and if you actually do want it, it's rude to say yes after fewer than three.

35. Armed But Affable
In the Philippines, a dude with a shotgun held the door open for me and called me sir… at a convenience store in Quezon City. That was new.

34. It seeps in
I was deployed for two years to Afghanistan, and Kuwait. Due to my job, I was out in the local community, a lot. I ate, worked, and interacted with a lot of locals. About the only things I did on base were to sleep and workout. In AFG, we wore issued PT uniforms at the gym, and when I was in Kuwait, you could wear gym shorts and a T-shirt, provided they weren't skin tight and hit your knees.
When I moved BACK to the U.S., I was crashing at my friend's house, and got a day pass to the gym across the street. I was on the treadmill for ten mins or so and a woman walked in front of me, wearing a pair of spandex shorts and one of those scrappy halter tops popular for spin or exercise classes. My first thought was "I can't believe she's wearing that in public! What a loose woman."
That shocked me. I'm female, and consider myself a feminist. Even without living in the culture, I had totally picked up the judgement and social mores of the countries I had lived in.

33. Size Matters
I was shocked at being able to purchase a giant waffle the size of my head in the Netherlands. The internet tells you there are no large food portions outside the U.S., but it's not true.
neocommenter
32. No, No, No, YES
In parts of Ireland, in my grandparents' time, it was considered rude to accept food or beverages from a host the first time it was offered.
The exchange was supposed to go something like: "Will you have a cup of tea?" "No thank you, I won't, I won't trouble you." "Ahh sure you will, go on." "Ahh I will, if you're making one for yourself."
When my parents first went to America, they were shocked to find that people didn't do this, so instead it went: "Would you like a cup of coffee?" "No, thank you, I won't trouble you." "Okay!" "Wait! I did actually want coffee!" "Then why did you say no?"
One of my grandmothers was like this until she died, and would get really snippy with you if you accepted a drink or a biscuit the first time she offered it.

31. Lebanonymous
There are virtually no driving laws in Lebanon — and if there are, nobody follows them and they aren't enforced. Everybody drives like a total maniac. Traffic is awful, everybody speeds. When going up into the villages in the mountains, people zoom around the narrow roads like they're on the interstate. These supposed to be two-way streets, but they literally have zero regard for any potential drivers going the opposite direction. They drive as if they have a death wish.
We were vacationing there once, and I got hit by a car when I was crossing the street from Burger King to get back to my hotel in Beirut. I was about 11 years old. The guy who hit me got out of the car and started cussing me out in Arabic. I'm like "DUDE, YOU JUST STRUCK ME WITH YOUR VEHICLE."
Thinking about it now is hilarious.

30. A Family Country
I was surprised by the intolerance of public intoxication in America. I am British, so you get used to public merriment and drinking, but I was surprised that it was not tolerated in the U.S. After a while, I thought it was a great idea.
I once went to a restaurant, and during the order I asked what kind of drinks they had. "This," the waitress stated quite forcefully, "is a family restaurant."

29. You Gotta Fight For Your Right
Visiting China, it's kind of jarring to see how aggressive and pushy people are. Makes sense, since there are a billion people; if you are polite and wait your turn, you'll be left behind. So everybody is pushy, cuts in line, shoving you out of the way, etc. Of course, I just had come from Japan where it's the total opposite…
cassiebt
28. Straight To The Point
In Spain, there's no chitchat from the waiter. None of that "I'll be serving you today" stuff that we hear in the U.S. Just "Tell me what you want." My introvert self loved it. I tell you, food arrives, I eat. Glorious.
whatawonderfulword
27. Street People
In Croatia, it's a standard expectation that you'll clean the street outside your house as part of cleaning your house (at least in the small towns I was in — not sure about the cities). They have the cleanest streets I've ever seen and a real sense of communal civic pride.

26. Chile Out
In Chile, "tomorrow" means next week. "Next week" means never. "I'm already there" means "I'm thinking about starting to prepare to go out."
For a ten-minutes-early type of person like myself, that was jarring.

25. Cleanliness In Asia
When I traveled to Tokyo and Seoul everything was so clean. The trains were clean, the streets, etc. I'm used to seeing gum and smoke butts and other garbage all over the sidewalk and hobos in the aisle of the trains in American cities.
In South Korea one thing that shocked me was that it seemed every adult male there smoked. I couldn't recall a single adult male that didn't.

24. No Privacy In The Netherlands
In the Netherlands, it's pretty common for ground floor apartments to have huge unobscured windows looking into the living room, open for all to see, even in busy neighborhoods. Inside you'll see an immaculate IKEA-catalogue living room. Any people inside will just be doing things in their living room, unfazed by onlookers. I feel bad for looking in whilst passing, but I can't look away.

23. Pizza Eating Etiquette
In Argentina, every slice of pizza, either purchased by itself or as a whole pie, is topped with a single, whole green olive right near the crust. People consume said pizza, as well as French fries, with a knife and fork. It is incredibly uncouth to use your hands.

22. Family Friendly Sauna
I did the sauna thing when I was in Helsinki, with a local guide taking me to one. It was weird just taking my clothes off and sitting there in a very hot room with other men. Especially when they tried to strike up a conversation with you, they feel they are going to the pub. He told me that private family/friends saunas are not gender segregated so people hang out with their friends and family. For British people, this just wouldn't happen!

21. Drinking While Driving
There are no laws against drinking and driving in Trinidad.
My girlfriend and I hired a taxi driver for the day to take us up to this bird sanctuary in the rainforest so we could go hiking. After about 3 hours of hiking, we get back to the lodge to find out the taxi driver had finished a number of drinks and picked one up for the road. On the way back to the hotel he was drinking while driving down these stupid narrow, winding mountain roads that had 300-500 foot drop-offs on the side. We had had a few as well — just so that we weren't as nervous about our taxi driver.

20. Through Rain, Sleet, Or Snow
People riding bicycles in Finland when everything was completely frozen (it was February). I asked a dude about it and he just said, "Yeah, it's pretty dangerous. When I leave in the morning I'm almost certain I'll fall but it's faster than walking to school. Your whole face freezes though." It just seems like there are more cons than pros to it.

19. Sharing Food
I lived in Korea for a few years and one small cultural difference that takes getting used to is sharing food. Most restaurants serve food family style so you're all sharing plates/bowls/etc (Except for your rice)… Getting used to sharing plates is pretty easy as you're picking food off with your chopsticks and don't really touch the other food but to me sharing soup took a little longer.

18. In Orderly Fashion
When I was in Taiwan waiting for the bus, I saw everyone getting in line to board. It was the strangest thing, no one was pushing or shoving to get on first. Everyone just waited for their turn, like civilized people. You don't see groups of people taking up the whole sidewalk there, either. Now I'm back home and I feel surrounded by barbarians sometimes.

17. Order To Go
Once I was at a 7-11 in Korea, trying to decide between the things that I think were Oreos and the bag of what was probably Doritos. As I was deep in thought, I heard something come up next to me and start making a ton of noise. I look over, and it is a dude on a scooter inside the 7-11, and he is frantically waving at me to get out of the way. In shock, I take a step back to clear a path and he goes full throttle through the aisle and out the back door.
I looked over to the cashier and he had his nose buried in a newspaper and couldn't be bothered by the whole thing.
I've always wondered if that is a normal occurrence there or if I was the victim of a crazy prank.
16. Irish Hospitality
I am an American who traveled to Ireland last summer. Everywhere you go, be it a pub, restaurant, or shop, people would ask one thing:
This phrase really threw me off. At first, I was like, "Why, do I look ill?" For example, if someone in the U.S. were to ask, "are you okay?" it would be to inquire about one's well-being. If I were to answer, "yes," that would imply that I am fine and content and they would leave me be. Were I to answer "no," they would follow up with "what's wrong?", as the implication is that I am somehow not okay, ill, unwell, or otherwise disagreeable.
But I guess it's their way of greeting, along the lines of "how may I help you?" So I just started going along with answering "yes" and immediately just give them my order. I'm still not entirely sure what the etiquette is/was, and some of my servers looked at me like I was a space alien when struggling to come up with a response. They were super friendly though! I have yet to meet anyone who can match the hospitality and friendliness of the Irish.

15. Public Displays Of Affection
Men holding hands in the Middle East.
Despite the extreme social taboo against homosexuality in most parts of the Middle East (it's also usually a capital offense), men holding hands is a perfectly normal and acceptable sign of friendship, rather than the signifier of a romantic relationship that it would be in the West.

14. The Autobahn
From Great Lakes region of the US to Germany, Hesse specifically.
Roads are small. Everyone is excellent drivers and follows the rules.
People keep to themselves, but are friendly in conversation.
Eating out takes 3 to 4 times longer than I'm used to.
Apartments are much more common, nobody has yards or lots of property.
Drinking culture is very different, less casual drinking and more deliberate getting messed up until 6am. But that could be specific to my friends.
The Autobahn. Miss it every day.
The Doners. Miss them every day.

13. Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto
In South Africa, they call traffic lights "robots."
"How can I get to the grocery store?"
"Just drive straight until the next robot, turn right, and you'll be there now-now."
Many of them say robot with special emphasis on the 'r'… 'rrrrobot'. First time I heard it, was rather surreal.

12. Time To Be Quiet
In the country of Samoa, in the evening time around 7:00 in most villages, dozens of men go out to stand out in the road in front of their homes and blow on conches to mark the "sa," or a quiet prayer time. It is illegal to be anywhere walking in the village, to be loud, etc., for the length of the 5-10 minute sa.

11. Brazilian State Of Mind
I spent a year in Brazil, coming from Switzerland. The biggest things were:
The general state of paranoia. Despite my city being one of the safest ones in Brazil, everyone was always scared. Not even of anything specific, just of a vague notion of potential crime. Fenced off houses, forcing students (aged ~18) to stay in school until their parents get them, being afraid to take a taxi alone. Stuff like that.
Disrespect of rules and lack of organization. Not waiting for people to cross a road was the one that affected me the most, but some other things include terribly slow bureaucracy (I still don't have my health insurance… it's been years since I was back home) and schools that just don't work. The classes are too big – teachers have no control over the class. They'd had at least 5 years of English classes and couldn't say a simple sentence. I confronted the English teacher about what the heck she was even doing and she just defended herself that those who wanted to learn English could go to private classes.

When I visited Vietnam for the first time to see my family there, we took a taxi from Ha Long to Hanoi. In the middle of the ride, we stopped at a restaurant, and I expected the driver to drive off, but instead, we had a cozy family meal with the taxi driver at the same table! Apparently, some hotels in the south will even give the taxi driver a free room if your group stays the night. It was kind of nice but also bizarre, especially if you tried to imagine that happening in the west.

9. Driving And Eating In America
Drivers not using turn signals.
TVs at bars and restaurants everywhere, even upscale places.
People with full-time jobs getting like 10 days off a year.
A majority of people eating out for lunch every day.
Apparently, it was common knowledge you should not rely on the bus to get anywhere, plus only very poor and homeless seem to ride it.

8. Friendly Beep
I went to American Samoa on a research trip and I was absolutely blown away by the kindness and warmth of the locals. Basically, every car had a separate little horn, more of a chirp really, that they would use to get people's attention on the sidewalk just so they could smile and wave. Everyone just really wanted to interact and be kind to everyone else. Coming back to the US everyone looked at me like a freak when I would wave and smile to random strangers for the next week.

We're Canadian. We had this awkward conversation with a family in Venezuela who we had invited over for dinner. They just wouldn't leave! My dad was doing the polite Canadian thing and mentioning that "we're tired", that "usually we would be in bed by now", that "it's been a long night and they probably want to get home", walking them toward the front door. And then we were stuck just standing there staring at each other. My dad finally just blurts out: "Why won't you leave?! We're tired and want to go to bed!" And in frustration, they reply: "Why won't you just let us go?!"
Turns out that in Venezuelan culture it's rude to leave on your own as an invited guest. The polite thing to do is to wait for your host to open the door and guide you out, but in Canadian culture it's rude to ask your invited company to leave and you wait for them to open the door and go on their own.

6. No Harm, No Foul
In a tuk-tuk on a highway in Cambodia. The tuk-tuk driver was crazy! He flew into the back of a moped with four people on it. A girl of about 12 fell off the back, the moped stopped. Without giving it a second thought, the tuk-tuk driver kept driving (was actually waved on by traffic police). The 12-year-old girl dusted herself off, hopped back on to the moped and they continued on their way. Absolutely crazy!

5. Taxi Roulette
I was in India earlier this year and their taxi drivers take you wherever they feel like before taking you to your requested destination. And they would be deeply offended if you were like "Hey, where are we going?"
So that's how I ended up on a boat in the middle of the Arabian Sea when all I wanted to do was exchange money, and at a random zoo when I just wanted to go shopping. I eventually exchanged money and went shopping but had to go on field trips first to see the sights. Good times.

4. Finding A Trash Can In Japan
Japan: The lack of public trash cans. I come from Denmark, and there is a trash can at every bus stop, every street corner, everywhere. You rarely have to carry something around for more than a few minutes at most. But in Japan, I found less than 3 public trash cans during the months I was staying there. The Japanese people are just like, "Oh … yeah, just put it in your bag or in your trash when you come home."
And oh my God, the fake bird noises being played by speakers hiding in bushes and trees everywhere. I only really experienced this in Kyoto and nearby places, but all over Japan, there is some kind of tweeting/chirping sound coming from the pedestrian crossings. Maybe to aid blind people?
People vacuuming the outside areas of train stations. Yes, it really is that clean some places.

3. The Sounds Of Silence
I went to the cinema in Japan to see a Harry Potter film (in English with Japanese subtitles). The film was good, I guess the humor didn't translate well into Japanese which is fine, but at times I was the only person laughing in an every-seat-filled cinema.
Anyway, that wasn't the weird thing. When the film finished and the credits rolled, no one moved. I started packing up my things and realized I was the only person in a room of at least 100 people making a move to leave. So I sat down again.
I realized they were sitting and attentively watching the credits. All 5 minutes of them. Then, after they ended, everyone politely and quietly collected their things in a hushed silence. I was flabbergasted – in the UK everyone stands up as soon as the end credits start!

2. Mob Justice
Not sure if this normally happens or not, but my first day in Uganda, I witnessed a car accident between a truck and car. The car rear-ended the truck and then took off. The truck had minor damage and was still functional, but instead of chasing the car in his truck he got out of his car jumped on the back of some other dude's motorcycle and they chased him on that.
Meanwhile, two other bikes joined in the chase just because. It all happened in seconds and I don't know how it ended, but I was amazed that these motorcycle drivers were totally down to just high-speed chase this car for a stranger.

1. Send In The Clowns
A clown at a baby shower. Living in Peru, I got invited to a friend's baby shower (that's a weird enough thing for me). I arrived and there was a clown running around the room making everyone dress up like babies and doing weird things. I absolutely hate clowns, hardly spoke the language and I was the only foreigner. Needless to say that when I left I spent the rest of the night in the pub!

Q: How do you determine number of distinct integer solutions for an equation? Let's say we have equation
x + y + z = 30

How to determine number of solutions?
Each solution is different combination of x y and z values.
I understand how to get number of combinations generally, but not able to figure out how to take into account the need for the number values to sum to another value like I shown above.

Q: Extremely low HDD read/write speed I have built myself a small Ubuntu home server to store all my files, but one of my HDD has extremely low write speed (between 1 and 3 MB/s) and it's killing me because it's a 4TB drive and I have almost 2.5TB of data to put on it. Let me explain :
I bought my server with the following specs :

*

*CPU : Intel Pentium G3440

*MB  : Asus H87M-E C2

*RAM : Corsair 2 x 2GB DDR3

And with the following drives (one partition on each drive) :

*

*SSD (sda) : Kingston HyperX 120GB SATA3

*HDD (sdb) : WD Green 4TB SATA3

*HDD (sdc) : Seagate ST4000 4TB SATA3

*HDD (sdd) : WD Green 3TB SATA3

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 (with GNOME) on the SSD, and "salvaged" the Seagate 4TB drive from my Windows 7 x64 computer and it was full of data. It was partitionned in NTFS, and had Compression active (gained a couple of GB with this).
When I moved it to my server, I emptied it into the other drives (took me around 3 weeks, at an average speed of 2MB/s). I thought the low read speed was due to the fact that I was transferring from (compressed) NTFS to Ext4. Now that I have emptied the drive, and reformated it to Ext4 I assumed it would be much better, but when I tried to copy back some of the files, I saw that the average speed was still similar (around 2MB/s). So tried some other copies to test the speeds between the other drives, and all copies I try doing between the 3 large capacity drives (sdb, sdc, sdd) go slower than 2.7MB/s (sometimes as slow as 1MB/s).
Is there something I'm missing here ? Either Ubuntu configuration, partition settings, fstab parameters...
Please comment if you need me to post the result of some command. Here are the few I could think of (will edit if/when I have some new informations) :
/etc/fstab contents

Oden to PSC; In the eye of the beholder;
Baldwin GOP to elect officers;
Jones camp tracking Obama;
Russell to speak to breakfast club
State Rep. Jeremy Oden will soon be named to fill a vacancy on the Alabama Public Service Commission, the Mobile Bay Times has learned.
Gov. Robert Bentley will tap
the Cullman, Ala. Republican
to fill the opening created by
Commissioner Twinkle
Cavanaugh's elevation to PSC
president with her victory over
Lucy Baxley in the Nov. 6
elections, according to sources
who have been apprised of
Bentley's intentions.
Oden presently represents
District 11 in the state House of Representatives. District 11 includes Blount, Cullman and Morgan counties. He serves on Ways and Means, Education and County and Municipal Government committees.
A native of Vinemont, Oden, 44, was elected in 1998. He received his B.A. from Ashbury College, and completed two years of post-graduate work at the Ashbury Theological Seminary.
Oden is the Chief Financial Officer for Delta Discount Corporation. He is a member of the Eva United Methodist Church. He also serves as a member of the Eva Lion's Club, the Arrites Oden Masonic Lodge, the Huntsville Scottish Rite, the Decatur York Rite, and the Huntsville Shrine Association.
Good, Better, Best?
Although some Republicans were underwhelmed, state GOP chairman Bill Armistead proclaimed his 2012 "White House to the Court House" campaign to elect Republicans a resounding success.
"I have talked a lot in recent months about our plans to win from the Court House to the White House, and although we did not win the White House nationally we did do very well locally winning many Court House races," said Armistead.
The 2012 election pitted 213 contested races were a Republican ran against a Democrat at the local county level in Alabama.
"I am pleased to report that in targeted counties, Republicans flipped over 53 percent of Democrat held offices at the county level for a net gain of 45 offices," he continued. "Twenty-seven separate counties saw a net gain of elected Republicans. These counties are spread out across the state showing that Alabama Republicans are on the move and are not just a regionalized party like our Democrat adversaries."
Republicans were elected for the first time in over a century in five counties: Colbert, Franklin, Jackson, Marengo and Washington. Also, Republicans won county wide elections is Franklin, Jackson, Tallapoosa and Washington Counties for the first time ever.
In ten counties, a Republican Probate Judge or Circuit Clerk replaced a Democrat: Chambers, Cherokee, Clarke, Cullman, Henry, Limestone, Marion, Morgan, Tallapoosa and Washington Counties.
In six counties, Republican-appointed Probate Judges, Circuit Clerks or Circuit Judges that were vulnerable to Democrat candidates in traditional Democrat counties held on and won election for the first time in Clarke, Clay, Etowah, Franklin, Lawrence and Pike Counties, noted Armistead.
"Today 48 percent of Alabamians reside in counties with a Republican Probate Judge and 59 percent of Alabamians reside in counties with a Republican Circuit Clerk," Armistead said. "The dust has not settled yet completely, but from initial findings, 78 percent of Alabamians live in counties with Republican controlled county commissions. Those are some encouraging statistics for the growth of our Party."
"There were many victories last week at the local level and it would not be fair to single out candidates but just a few I want to stress," said Armistead. "In Marengo County, in the Black Belt, the first ever Republican was elected when Dan England won a spot on the Marengo County Commission. Cracking the Democrat hold on the Black Belt shows just how far our Party has come and where it can go in future elections. Also, in Escambia County, the first Republican that is also African American was elected to the Board of Education with Dr. Coleman Wallace. I hope we all see more from Dr. Wallace in the future."
Recently, the GOP held just 20 Probate Judgeships and just 17 Circuit Clerks' positions. Democrats controlled the vast majority of local county offices and in most counties, the thought of running for local office was synonymous with running as a Democrat, Armistead pointed out.
"Less than two years after we began to build this foundation, Republicans now hold 32 Probate Judge offices and 29 Circuit Clerk offices around the state," he said. "Over half of the Democrat held offices that where on the ballot in 2012 flipped to Republican control and we have proved once and for all that the phrase 'you have to run as a Democrat to get elected here' no longer applies."
For their part, Democratic leaders such as state Chairman Mark Kennedy and Mobile County chairman Napoleon Bracey point to Democratic chief justice candidate Robert Vance's strong showing, albeit losing, versus the GOP's controversial Roy Moore. They also note that Democrats not only held on to a number of offices targeted by GOP strategists but also Democrats continue to hold more county posts than the GOP.
Baldwin GOP to elect officers
State GOP Chairman Bill Armistead will be the guest speaker Saturday at 10 a.m. when the Baldwin County Republican Executive Committee meets at Robertsdale City Hall. Also on the agenda is the election of officers for the coming year, according to BCREC Chairman Matt Simpson.
Keeping up with Jones
Advisers to Mobile Mayor Sam Jones point with satisfaction to the 60 percent numbers polled by President Barack Obama within Mobile's city limits in the Nov. 6 presidential election.
A canvass of all Mobile County precincts for the Presidential race reflects a split of 45.33% for Obama and 54.67% for Romney (78,417 to 94,568).
The yellow highlighted precincts are those inside the City. There are only two split precincts including both city and non-city voters: Plateau and Mt. Ararat. It appears likely that these two largely cancel each other out as the Plateau count includes Prichard voters which inflates the Obama count while the Mt. Ararat vote includes white voters in Theodore who are outside the Mobile boundary which probably inflates the Romney total.
A straight count of just the City precincts, excluding absentee and provisionals which are hard to place geographically, shows 60.71% for Obama and 39.29% for Romney (49,117 to 31,792).
A second calculation that possibly better defines the vote in the split precincts and in the absentees finds 59.58% for Obama and 40.42% for Romney (50,284 to 34,110).
Regardless of methodology, it is safe to say that the breakdown is approximately 60/40 for Obama in the City precincts.
Jones, who will face business leader Sandy Stimpson among others in municipal elections next August, would hope to mirror if not exceed Obama's appeal on the incumbent mayor's home turf, according to his campaign consultants.
For his part, Stimpson suggested something along the lines of apples and oranges, he is not Romney and Jones is not Obama.
"We are running a very different campaign in Mobile than Mitt Romney or the President," said Stimpson.
Many if not most of the issues central to a municipal election in Mobile will be in stark contrast to the issues that dominate a national election, according to Stimpson.
"The mayor's race involves many different issues that hit closer to home to the people of Mobile," he said. "I expect this to be a tough race and one that we'll win if we do a good job and work hard.
"Mayor Jones has been a politician for over 20 years and will be a tough opponent – but so will our team. I expect us all to have a lot of fun - and to win."
Russell GOP club's guest speaker
Baldwin County Probate Judge Tim Russell will be the guest speaker at the monthly meeting of the South Alabama Republican Men's Club at 8 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 17 at John Word's Captain's Table Restaurant next to USS Alabama Battleship Park on the Causeway in Mobile.
For more information contact George E. Williams, Senior Vice Chairman, Alabama Republican Party at
willpowe@bellsouth.net or (251) 580-3585. Women are welcome.
Newly-elected Mobile County Commissioner Jerry Carl received a $1,500 campaign contribution on Nov. 1 from Adams & Reese, a New Orleans-headquartered Southeast U.S. law firm that now employs county commission attorney Jay Ross. Carl bested longtime incumbent Commissioner Mike Dean in the GOP primaries earlier this year. The rookie politician then defeated Democratic nominee Terrence Burrell in the general election Nov. 6.
Stiles new court police chief
Presiding Mobile County Circuit Judge Charlie Graddick has tapped current court police lieutenant Thomas L. Stiles to succeed Court Police Chief Bob Patterson. Patterson is retiring Dec. 1.
The 13th Judicial Police Department is responsible for security and law enforcement throughout Mobile Government Plaza complex, as well as probate court, Mobile Community Corrections and the Strickland Youth Center.

Obtain script from technical producer and become thoroughly familiar with the play.
Attend production meetings with producer and crew to discuss basic production schedule and deadlines.
Confer with director regarding theme and mood to be conveyed by sound at introduction and throughout the play. Ascertain specific requirements with respect to sound effects, apparent sources of sound as to be conveyed from the stage, and 'practical' sources of sound.
Familiarize yourself with the theatre sound console. Key to sound room and console can be obtained from technical producer. Familiarization and a thorough 'system check' should be carried out with the technical manager.
Determine as soon as possible any special equipment requirements. Ascertain convenience and economy of rental or loan arrangements. Rental or loan arrangements are an important consideration if this play is being considered for festival.
Obtain a copy of the rehearsal and 'effects deadline' schedule.
Attend as many early 'open' rehearsals as possible to determine and understand your exact cues.
Position audio speakers behind completed set to ensure appropriate 'sourcing' of sound. Install and connect any practical sources or effects and ensure the director and actors know how to work them. (Note: practicals may include radios, phones, doorbells, etc.) Where possible audio should source directly from internal speaker but their actual 'working' is controlled by you, on cue, never the actor. Similarly with phones and doorbells: they themselves must ring, controlled remotely by yourself or the stage manager.
Provide sound effects as early on in the rehearsal schedule as practical.
Meet with director as soon as practical and allow him to hear your selections for theme, introduction and special requirements.
Be present and in operation at as many 'complete run through' rehearsals as possible. Be prepared to receive notes at the end of every rehearsal.
Be on hand for all production meetings.
Prepare sequential cue sheet with corresponding cues and tape deck 'computer number'. Note: You may find it most convenient to alternate cues between the tape decks. This is especially convenient when you have tight cues. Alternating between tape decks also makes it more convenient for assistant sound operators.
By first technical rehearsal all cues, sequence and levels must be final and running. Any changes, except levels, should be of the artistic emergency nature. All levels should be set and recorded. Every cue and its level have to be recorded in the event you are unable to attend a performance. For instance if you were abducted by aliens!
Arrive at theatre one hour before run to check sound system before EACH performance. System check must be completed before the 'house' is open thirty minutes before curtain.
Set initial cues and levels.
Check communication headsets with lighting person and stage manager.
Begin pre show house music/sound thirty minutes before curtain.
Maintain quiet conversations as audience enters as voices carry through sound booth glass very easily. Do not roll around on booth chairs and don't talk during the performance.
Be on headset as instructed by stage manager, standing by for curtain. Talk quietly into headset. It has a volume control.
Do not leave sound booth during performance except for intermission or an emergency. The audience will hear you if you walk on catwalk.
Food, drink and smoke are not compatible with electronic equipment. Accidents happen which could result in bad consequences therefore ABSTINENCE is the rule.
Do not allow visitors in the booth while the show is in progress. If someone other than booth crew arrive, refer to stage manager or assistant stage manager.
During the performance, stay on the headset to take any required cues from stage manager and to be immediately aware of problems that arise backstage.
After the play attend to any problems and turn off console. Cover and lock sound console. Ensure sound booth is locked before leaving the theatre. Please close both doors.
Your operating script, cue sheets and numbering sequences are indispensable items – lock them inside the sound console each night.
After final performance, disconnect main speakers and remove to a safe location. Thoroughly disconnect any practical or special items that you were responsible for.
Remove, label and store recorded tapes used in this production. Tapes are generally stored above the sound console. Clean up sound console and sound booth. Please vacuum and empty garbage.
Be responsible for the return of any rented or borrowed equipment, in the appropriate good condition. In the event of damage consult with the producer.
Turn in any bills and/or receipts, any theatre keys and the job description manual to the producer.


Long before Lenox, Massachusetts became the resort town and destination of tourists from all over the world that it is today, Catharine Sedgwick, one of America's first important women writers, put pen to paper and declared it to be "a bare and ugly little village, dismally bleak and uncouth, reached only after six miles of steep and rough driving." Over time, though, her sentiments changed quite drastically and on November 1st, 1824 she wrote: "As I stand at the window and gaze on the hills that stretch before me in every variety of height and position, the sun sends his gleamy smiles along their summits pleasantly and the little lake that sparkles in the valley, now that its leafy veil has fallen, is plainly seen. I perceive many beauties that I have been before quite blind to."

A Disputed Inheritance
Following the death of their mother, Emily and Elizabeth stood to inherit her estate in equal shares, as set out in her will. Their mother had been a well respected member of the community, chair of a local charity and a GP. On the announcement of the mother's death, a solicitor representing a third daughter launched a contested probate action, on the grounds of inheritance. The third daughter (Anne – 17 years of age), who was unknown to the sisters, was born following their mother's affair with another man, whilst their father was still alive. The mother had kept in touch with Anne and paid substantial amounts towards her maintenance. Emily and Elizabeth were horrified to find that they had an unknown sibling, born out of wedlock, wanting to prevent them from having their rightful share of their mother's inheritance, and instructed a solicitor to fight the claim. A trial date was set and both parties prepared themselves for a long, acrimonious and potentially expensive legal action.
In discussion with their solicitor, Emily and Elizabeth raised their concerns regarding sensitive details of their mother's private life becoming public, given her highly respected position and national profile. In addition, they feared substantial costs, which were already beginning to mount, associated with losing a probate action. Although their court was less than three weeks away, their solicitor recommended mediation as a possible solution to the dispute. Anne agreed to the offer of mediation and a joint meeting was rapidly set up.
During the mediation meeting, which lasted several hours, the mediator encouraged discussion about the facts of the case and the emotions that had been brought to the surface by the dispute. Emily and Elizabeth began by accusing Anne of being an opportunist, seeking to steal a share of their mother's estate that was not rightfully hers. They had made considerable sacrifice in caring for their mother, who had suffered from Dementia in her later years. Anne explained that following her birth, she had been sent away and raised by her father and his wife, as her mother feared an illegitimate child would damage her career. In addition, their mother had secured Anne's silence (and the silence of the father's family) with maintenance payments and a promise that she would benefit from her will. In common with her mother, Anne was hoping to become a doctor and needed financial support to commence her studies.
Following many hours of discussion the parties came to a mutually acceptable agreement, in which Emily & Elizabeth set up a trust to support Anne through her education. Although the case had been difficult for everyone involved, the longer term benefit of the agreement was to establish a new and supportive relationship between the sisters, which would last for many years into the future.


Before the quality of a soldered joint can be evaluated, the components that are required for the formation of a good soldered joint should be reviewed. These components are solder, applied heat, and solderable surface. This article discusses each of these as well as the end-use requirements and joint configurations required for the formation of a good soldered joint. It focuses on the visual, automatic, and destructive inspection techniques for determining overall joint quality.


The Stingeries: Jason's Graduation Weekend!
I remember three and half years ago Jason asking me if I had ever considered going back to graduate school. I looked at him like he was crazy (especially since I had just graduated while he had been out for a year).
Me: "No. Absolutely not. A person would have to be crazy to want to go back to school."
Jason: "Well... I've been thinking about it..."
Me: "Hmm, I'm not sure what's wrong with you, but right now while we don't have kids and you have the time I say go for it."
That started Jason's three-year long journey towards his Master of Petroleum Engineering degree from the University of Houston. Jason has been working full-time and taking 1-2 classes every spring, summer, and fall towards his degree. He has worked incredibly hard and I couldn't be more proud of him and everything he has accomplished!!
So proud in fact that I started planning his graduation party almost six months ago... yep, I was almost (keyword almost) as excited for Jason to finish as he was! I've been planning for weeks and kind of went all out for his graduation party (as you'll see below in the pics!). I mean, how many times do you graduate with your Master's?!
This entire week was spent getting ready for Saturday's party. We spent the morning running the final errands, meeting the deliveries, and setting up everything.
I setup a display table inside that included his cap/gown, beautiful flowers that my dad and his wife Mary sent Jason, his cake, pictures from the graduation the previous night, his surprise gift, and best of all... Jason's fake diploma!
Jason bought a frame to put his diploma in and I had the brilliant idea to buy a picture easel and display it during the party. I had the easel purchased and the empty frame sitting there by Tuesday when Jason says to me, "Um, Darcy, you know I don't actually get my diploma on Friday, right?"
Me: "Say what?! I thought because it was a Master's you would be receiving it."
Me: "Figure something out. I want a diploma in that frame by Saturday."
Jason: "Can I just put a sticky note that says 'Diploma goes here'?"
Me: [giving Jason a stern and intimidating look] "Figure it out."
HE PHOTOSHOPPED A 1980's DIPLOMA TO MATCH HIS DEGREE AND NAME!!!!!
I just looked at him and said, "This is part of why I love you so much." And proceeded to take the picture to the store to be printed on 11x17 ivory paper to put in the frame for the party.
PK's (Preacher's Kids) - you have to watch out for them otherwise they'll float the keg!
Jason cutting the delicious cake!
We had a fabulous turnout and a ton of fun celebrating with our family and friends! Thank you to everyone who came out!
A special thanks to my mom and Jeff as well! I couldn't have gotten everything done this weekend without their support! I was so glad to have them here and so excited that I could spend Mother's Day with my mom!
Jason waited until today to open his surprise graduation gift: a GoPro camera he can use for car racing, cycling, and our upcoming trip to Peru when we hike Machu Picchu!!
Jason - I am SO proud of you and everything that you have accomplished!! Congratulations again sweetheart! You are so amazing and work so hard!

Dig under way at New York site of 2 18th century forts
By Chris Carola
Crown Point, New York (AP) 7-08
George Washington was here. So were Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Benedict Arnold.
The Founding Fathers and one famous traitor are among the long muster roll of prominent 18th-century French, British and American figures who passed through this remote Lake Champlain location when it was considered one of the most strategic military outposts in North America.
Today, Crown Point, on the Vermont line 90 miles north of Albany, is home to a scenic state historic site with the remains of the original French fort and the ghostly ruins of what was once Britain's largest fortification on the continent.
During July, a team of state archaeologists is excavating a grassy field looking for evidence of a French village known to have been located at Crown Point when it was part of New France.
France's consulate general in Boston, who toured the dig July 17 in preparation for next year's events marking the 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain's exploration, said visiting the former French stronghold was "very moving."
"It sheds light on the French part in American history and that's wonderful," Francois Gauthier said.
While it's off the beaten path and less popular than Fort Ticonderoga, another 18th century military site 8 miles south, Crown Point had plenty of name recognition among English and French leaders in the 1700s.
"The two forts there really played a major role in shaping North America," said Russell Bellico, a Massachusetts college professor and author of several books on Lake Champlain's history. "All the great figures in American history came to see Crown Point."
Lake Champlain is named for the French explorer who fought a battle in 1609 against the Iroquois at a shoreline site believed to be near Crown Point. During the 17th- and 18th-century colonial wars, the lake was part of a waterway system linking Albany and Montreal, with Crown Point located about midway. France and its Indian allies used "Pointe a la Chevelure" to stage bloody raids into Britain's New York and New England colonies.
In the 1730s, France built a European-style fort at Crown Point, a small peninsula jutting into the lake's southern waters where they narrow to a quarter mile wide. Named Fort St. Frederic, it featured a four-story tower with 12-foot-thick walls built of limestone quarried nearby.
"It was meant to impress the Indians as the symbol of French power," said state archaeologist Paul Huey, 66, who last dug at the site as a high school student 50 years ago.
Fort St. Frederic became a near-obsession of British military planners in London and the Colonies for two decades. During the French and Indian War (1754-1763), two expeditions sent to capture the stronghold failed before the French blew up the fort as an English army advanced up the lake in the summer of 1759.
Thousands of redcoats and their provincial allies then spent several years turning Crown Point into the largest British fortification on the continent. They built a sprawling complex with several two-story stone barracks and 25-foot-tall log and earthen walls that covered 6 acres.
In April 1773, a fire in a barracks chimney spread quickly, fueled by the ramparts' tarred logs. The blaze burned for three days and ignited an explosion in the gunpowder magazine, destroying the fort. The roofless walls of two of the barracks still stand.
American forces encamped here early in the Revolutionary War before abandoning the position to the British, who remained in control of Lake Champlain until the war's end in 1783.
While waiting for the treaty to be signed, Washington traveled north from his encampment in the Hudson Valley near Newburgh to tour the northern frontier. He arrived here on July 21, 1783. It was the farthest north Washington would ever travel in the United States.
Franklin stopped at Crown Point en route to Canada to seek an alliance against the British, Arnold commanded troops here before turning traitor, and Jefferson and Madison followed in Washington's footsteps in 1791.
Although no battles were fought at Crown Point, an untold number of military casualties from the two wars are believed buried here, along with various settlers. So far, no one has found any cemeteries, Huey said.
That fact, plus the barracks ruins and high grass-covered earthen walls of the British fort, tend to give Crown Point what Bellico called a "ghost town quality."

The Scientific Search for Consciousness (Grand Rapids)
The Sweet House
254 E. Fulton
Grand Rapids, MI 49503 United States
Jennifer Beahan
Email: jbeahan@centerforinquiry.org
Eric R. Kandel, winner of the Nobel Prize in medicine, wrote that "Understanding consciousness is the most challenging task confronting science." Nonetheless, the scientific attempt to meet this challenge is highly preferable to the unreasonable and hopeless belief in non-physical souls or minds. Trying to explain consciousness, however, is mined with daunting ambiguities and paradoxes.
In this talk, Gonzalo will discuss how Francis Crick and other famous scientists have tried to solve these problems. He will then sketch his own proposal for making significant progress in this field.
Meetings are open to the Public

Video games, in and of themselves, aren't great financial decisions. They're expensive, time consuming and have a very low return. The characters in video games, however, are more of a mixed bag. For nearly as long as there have been video games, money has played a part in them, from Mario's gold coins to the more complex barter and upgrade systems of many modern games. But this raises the question: which classic video game characters are actually the most financially responsible? You know we had to rank them.
Cons: Appears to have no money and no interest in collecting any, instead focusing on becoming a globe trotting street brawler. Truly a waste of what appears to be a talented and creative young woman's mind.
Cons: Goes around invading other people's homes, destroying everything they own and then just using their stuff for himself. Downright criminal.
Pros: He collects all the money ("rings," in his parlance) he finds in a hurry, which speaks to his ambition.
Cons: Almost too many to name. Instead of securing his money in a safe place, he carries it on his person where it can be easily stolen by seemingly harmless foes. At the first sign of trouble, Sonic panics and throws all his rings away, and then has to scramble to collect whatever he can. Treats valuable like television sets recklessly. Truly a poor role model.
Pros: Again, very ambitious in collecting coins, as well as other valuable objects like flowers and mushrooms. A wide variety of skills from jumping to medicine to an olympic career suggests a varied portfolio.
Cons: Doesn't seem interested in spending, saving or investing his money whatsoever. He simply gets it and hides it somewhere on his person.
Pros: At last, someone who seems interested in setting money aside to afford bigger and better things, like Pokeballs, Masterballs, food for his Pokemon …hey, come to think of it….
Cons: All of Ash's capital goes to his passion of being the best Pokemon trainer, like no one ever was. His hobby may be personally rewarding and even occasionally lucrative, but it's not sustainable in the longterm. Ash needs to get a real job to prioritize his needs and future goals, and devote his spare time to Pokemon training.
Cons: …she's also caught the real estate bug, building more castles than any one princess could ever need. This has complicated not only her life, but the lives of people who want to help her.
Pros: As a military man, Snake is definitely resourceful, though in sort of a doomsday prepper, sort of way. While his financial situation is rarely explored, he seems to be gainfully employed and relatively thrifty in terms of his budget, as he usually travels light and just uses the things he finds.
Cons: He seems somewhat limited by his lifestyle, and at the very least unprepared for his retirement.
Pros: Many. Link is a driven man, who saves his money to buy the things he needs, be they in the interest of self defense, his own personal enrichment or even the wellbeing of others. He travels light but still understands the value of looking sharp in his day to day life.
Cons: Seems peculiarly obsessed with Zelda. Companionship is good, but if people start confusing you for someone else, that might be a sign that you need to back off a little.
Pros: Now, this is going to be controversial because, let's face it, Bowser isn't the friendliest guy in the Mushroom Kingdom. But financially speaking, he knows what's up. He's not only resourceful enough to build large labyrinths to keep his valuables in, but also innovative enough to craft elaborate security measures to keep them safe. He's recruited a diverse community of friends to assist him with his projects and is undeterred by hardships.
Cons: Kidnapping is bad and Bowser doesn't seem particularly good at it. Sometimes, you have to know when to walk away.
Cons: We at RELEVANT can not legally recommend bounty hunting as a career.
Where would you fall on our ranking, if you were a video game characters? The best way to find out is by taking this short financial assessment.

"This week, my 23-year-old daughter, Gabriella, starts her undergraduate studies at Tel Aviv University. Already, she is off to a better start than her mother, who started college 38 years ago at age 18. She is far more mature and focused, thanks to a year of volunteer teaching, a three-year stint as an IDF officer and a few months of freewheeling international travel.
As someone who is fluent in English and studied several years intermittently in a US elementary and high school, Gabriella could have chosen to study in a US college. But I think, for several reasons, she made the correct decision to obtain her BA in Israel. In doing so, she will avoid many of the problems inherent in the US higher education system.

How to find the best of the latest tech from Edge
August 9, 2021August 9, 2021| adminadmin| 0 Comment | 12:47 pm
Edge is one of the biggest companies in the tech industry.
Its products range from home automation and remote-controlled cars to virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
But it also sells smart home products.
That's where its VP of product marketing, Tom Bresnahan, comes in.
Bresnahal is one who has been at Edge since its founding in the mid-2000s.
His first job was as an assistant manager in the San Francisco Bay Area, and he was able to spend more time at Edge because of its strong engineering skills.
That experience is one reason why he's so keen on what Edge has to offer today.
In the past, the company has tried to offer its product to both the general public and tech giants, such as Google and Apple.
But Edge's latest product, Edge Smart Home, is different.
The first thing you'll notice about the product is its name: it is Edge Smart.
That means that the company can differentiate itself from other companies with the word "Edge" in its name.
It's also the name of the company's marketing team.
Bresnanahal said Edge Smart was not born in an advertising campaign.
It was actually built to help customers find the right product.
Edge has been able to sell its product without a lot of hype, and it's easy to see why.
The product has a fairly basic premise: It connects you to your home's Wi-Fi network.
When you open the app, it displays a home screen that shows all your devices, including your Wi-Fos, and you can control them with voice commands.
The app then automatically detects when you're outside the house, opens up the door, or opens up your refrigerator, and tells you when it's time to get dressed.
Buses are also in the home.
Buses come with Wi-Stations that are connected to your house, and they can be connected to the Edge Smart app, too.
The bus can be controlled with voice, or you can activate the lights on it to turn on or off.
Bars and restaurants are also integrated in the app.
If you open up the app and tap the bar or restaurant, it'll display its menu, with your choices.
Bays can be entered by using your voice.
Bios can be accessed through the app by entering your address, or by typing your phone number and the phone's number.
If your home has a security system, Edge also has an app that allows you to control it.
When you're ready to get your first Edge Smart, Bresnahal said the app will show you all of its features.
For example, it will show the home's temperature, and the time, and when the door is open or closed.
If the door isn't open, the app says that you should wait a few minutes and see if it opens.
You can also control the lights and air conditioning.
Bases can be programmed, and all of these functions can be changed at any time.
It is also possible to use your voice to tell the app to turn the thermostat up, or the water heater off.
The service also includes a number of functions that can be turned on or turned off, like the volume of the TV, and its alarm clock.
Bespoke products are one of Edge's strengths.
Bespoke is Edge's brand name, which means it is a product that is designed for a specific person.
The company's product manager, David Eichenberger, told Bloomberg that Bespokens have a wide range of features.
It can help you set up a Wi-Firebox, an app for a computer or tablet that connects to your Edge home network.
Besh is an app which connects to the Wi-FI network and can automatically open and close doors, adjust the temperature, set a timer, and more.
You could also have the thermos and cup holder programmed for each individual user.
Besnahan said that Edge is designed to be a smart home product that works with other smart home devices.
Bew is an integrated solution that lets you connect the Edge home to the HomeKit network.
Bays can also be programmed to turn off lights and doors at certain times of the day.
Bins can also have certain functionality programmed.
Bees can also use the app or website to remotely control their devices.
For instance, if you have an Echo and you want to set it up to turn itself on at certain moments of the night, the product team can create an app and send it a message with instructions.
You would need to have a HomeKit-enabled device to do that.
Edge also has a feature called AutoHome that allows people to remotely remotely control devices.
Users can create a profile for themselves in the software, which can then be accessed by other users through the Edge app.
The Edge app also includes an interface that shows users the features of each of their home's settings, such a heating system, thermostats,

Q: why is cross section of pair production in field of electron smaller than that in the field of nucleus? Pair production cannot take place in a vaccum since momentum conservation would be violated. However it can take place in the field of a nucleus or an atomic electron. Why, though, is the cross section for pair production lower for the process happening in the field of electron?

A: I suspect (but haven't looked closely) that it's the charge density that matters.  If that were the case, pair production in hydrogen would proceed equally from the proton charges and the electron charges, while pair production in heavy metals comes mostly from the nuclear electric fields.

New York Supreme Court Dismisses Action Against UBS Relating to Proposed Acquisition of Plaza Hotel
A Cahill litigation team prevailed on behalf of UBS in defeating claims brought by JTS Trading Ltd. seeking over $700 million against UBS and others relating to a claimed joint venture between JTS and defendant Trinity White City Ventures to acquire certain trophy hotel properties, including the Plaza Hotel and the Dream Downtown Hotel in New York and the Grosvenor House in London. The complaint, which was filed on June 3, 2015, asserted claims against UBS for allegedly agreeing to provide financing for the proposed acquisitions in alleged interference with the joint venture agreement and in aid of Trinity's alleged breach of a fiduciary duty owed to JTS. In granting UBS's motion to dismiss in its entirety, the Supreme Court accepted UBS's argument that no binding agreement or fiduciary relationship existed between JTS and Trinity and, accordingly, the claims against UBS could not stand.
