All currencies have an ISO 4217 3-letter code. (The Transnistrian ruble has none, for example)

The "Mental" and the "Physical"

A pope’s real power lies in his mandate to appoint the cardinals who will vote in his successor, and there too Francis has been making strides. In June, he will hand out 14 new red hats, including three to key collaborators. At that point he will have selected 47 percent of the 125 voter-cardinals eligible to choose his successor, just shy of a majority.

In what seems to us like the weakest part of the decision, Buchwald concludes that the "interactive space" around Trump's tweets qualifies under this standard. "Anyone with a Twitter account who has not been blocked may participate in the interactive space by replying or retweeting the president's tweets," she writes. The Trump administration has advertised Trump's Twitter account as a way for Trump to communicate directly with the public, she notes.

I'm wondering whether it has always been like this, and only the MSM attention made it more visible or it really got worse because we have less and less ways to address this cult-like phenomenon (I'm thinking here at the role of organized religion and the gap in society it has left).

For the first time, he added, the government would have the power to block websites, en-masse, without court orders. “This is a first in a democracy,” he continued. “Although this appears to be just about protecting children from porn, it isn't. It will block any site that doesn't comply with strict UK content rules.”

Dacă nu le răspunde nimeni la întrebări, cam cu asta rămân copii în cap: ca trebuie sa mănânce ceva pentru a concepe un copil.

„Ce mănâncă o mama pentru a-i crește un copil în stomac?” etc.

“Some say the I.D.W. is dangerous,” Ms. Heying said. “But the only way you can construe a group of intellectuals talking to each other as dangerous is if you are scared of what they might discover.”

“I want to see, in my lifetime, history textbooks which refer to the enslavement of the Roma,” she said.

“We are aware that raising the possibility of a prior industrial civilization as a driver for events in the geological record might lead to rather unconstrained speculation,” Schmidt and Frank write. “One would be able to fit any observations to an imagined civilization in ways that would be basically unfalsifiable. Thus, care must be taken not to postulate such a cause until actually positive evidence is available.”

Pe cat de mica e comunitatea pe atât e de diferita în interior.

Pe de o parte îl avem pe domnul care ne spune:
"Umblați și spuneți peste tot să nu fie proști, că viața e frumoasă!"

Pe de alta parte avem cazul romilor care sunt din ce în ce mai izolați de restul societății:

"Romii musulmani nu merg la școală fiindcă nu au bani să le pună copiilor ghete în picioare. Și chiar dacă ar merge, renunță repede, pentru că mulți vorbesc acasă limba turcă. Ce să înveți în română, când tu o auzi prima dată la șase ani? Mai mult, nu au nici acte de identitate. Și nici exemple pozitive în comunitate nu văd. Nimic. Beznă.

„Dacă vecinii nu-și dau copiii la școală, de unde să ia ei obiceiul? Și ce poate să facă un om care nu a cunoscut niciodată educația? Dar o comunitate? La ce vă așteptați?”"
