I'm in the museum sector.
Never pick something up to move it until you've seen the place where you're moving the thing and it's clear of junk.
It's safer to make two trips instead of one. It's safer to make three trips instead of two.
The best thing you can do for something old that looks like it's slowly falling apart is usually to leave it alone.
Jew here, and travelled through SE Asia. Israelis have always had a terrible reputation in parts of India and Thailand because after completing military service of 2-3 years, these kids get a lump sum before heading off to careers or university. They spend that money on booze and drugs and get off their faces before heading home to start their lives properly, and this is true of the Israeli Arab kids who serve too, as they are also no longer under the watchful eye of their parents or the military.
It's not uncommon for youth hostels in Thailand not to allow Israelis in groups to stay there, with signage saying so. Always "Israelis", never "jews". I saw a lot of this backpacking maybe 8 years ago.
Do you remember during the 2008 campaign when there was criticism over Obama's pastor being too outspoken in his church? In back to back segments fox would reflect on Obama's dangerous version of Christianity while also saying he was a Muslim...
Don't worry, it gets worse! Certain farmed animals are particularly susceptible to infections like shrimp and oysters. These animals are kept in open water pens and antibiotics are routinely DUMPED INTO THE OCEAN to protect the stock, naturally contaminating the ocean at large and giving bacteria in the wild just enough exposure to antibiotics to develop resistance.
If you want to support responsible antibiotic use, avoid all farmed shellfish, don't buy any meats from India or China, and only buy free range chicken; these are the biggest global offenders. If you're European, avoid meats from Greece or italy.
This may be apocryphal, but gene had originally planned for the bridge and subsequent space battles to reflect those of submarines - playing out entirely within closed rooms and getting feedback from sensors. This didn't sit well with producers, who wanted windows and for kirk to look out directly at an enemy, hence the viewscreen and placement on top of the saucer section.
As a dual citizen, you are required to show your passport if citizenship for the receiving country - I have dual citizenship and it feels weird to show one passport to get on a plane and another to get off, but it's what a customs officer will ask of you when you arrive.
Since OP was never an American resident or paid taxes, he or she shouldn't need to file taxes or be flagged on a system for anything anyway.
"Weapons manufacturer suggests Europe buy a whole lot more weapons"
I work in a museum adapting internationally touring exhibitions to align with their host communities. It's a great career - there's travel, I get to see behind the scenes of museum collections, and I get to study other cultures as a job. I do get paid to match the fact that I work for a charity.
My background is in the museum sector, which you can get into either through a PhD in study of a relevant field to the specific museum, or through a graduate program in museum/ conservation studies (which is what I did).
So far as I can tell, there are only a handful of people that do this job globally, which I suppose makes it lesser known!
A hammer designed to smash glass - it's a 'safety hammer' because they are kept in cars to smash windows in emergencies where people are stuck.
Except that these attacks weren't against the settlers (who are taking land in the west bank), it's targeting the civilians in South Israel who have lived there for ages. I think the world was expecting to see this violence in the west bank, not gaza.
I worked at a pet shop for two glorious days not knowing that I was the backup in case the boss' nephew was accepted into his preferred college program. He was not accepted so I got the boot to make room for him on the team.
The manager doubled my first/ only paycheque because she felt bad. I'm still bitter 17 years later
I'm a museum curator based in Europe (very different from the Americas). It's a wonderful job of travel, being close to history and bringing some goodness into the world, if you don't mind the salary of working for a charity.
