One of the interesting/infuriating things about dating someone from another culture are the differences. Once you have been dating someone for a while, inevitably bits of reality and issues start to crop up. And we analyze (or at least I do) each thing, trying to figure each other out.
Are these differences culturally based? Is it personality? Both? Neither? Does it even matter? Are the issues actually even about the person, or just me projecting onto them? (I am currently going with the last theory). When relationships are cross-cultural, it is all too simple to blame any dearths or 'defects' on differences in norms and upbringing.
Some differences are indeed cultural. Affection shown less in words and more in gestures and acts. A tendency towards modesty and reiteration in conversation. Others are personal. The decision to dress formally at all times. A quiet nature.
Cultural differences can be difficult, if both parties are unwilling to budge. Some are deeply ingrained, and only show up unconsciously, which can be the scariest to deal with. I think talking about things is the only way forward. People are not mind readers (as I often tell two of my 'unsatisfied' sharemates), and while some conversations are harder than others, it is better than simmering in silence.
But mostly it requires a journey inward. I am not one for 'new-agey' stuff, but I have become more concious that what we dislike in others tends to be what we dislike about ourselves. It is easier to focus on those traits in someone else, rather than accepting and dealing with them in ourselves. For those who tend to keep others at a bit of a distance, a relationship with someone from a different culture can start out feeling very 'safe', as cultural differences do have the effect of a mental wall. However that wall does not remain there forever, and you find yourself wondering again.
My apologies, this post ended up being more introspective than intended, but I would love to hear what others think about the subject.

New York’s controversial downtown Manhattan congestion charge clears the final federal hurdle and could cost drivers $17 to $23 to navigate a crowded stretch
- The Federal Highway Administration on Monday approved New York’s plan for congestion charging in Manhattan – a first in the United States
- The Metropolitan Transportation Authority can now decide final toll rates, discounts, times and exemptions: a report last year suggested up to $23 per car
- The plan is expected to generate $1 billion a year for public transport: Congestion charging is expected to come into force next year
A congestion charge, the first in the country, received its final federal approval on Monday, meaning that starting next year, anyone wanting to drive in lower Manhattan could pay up to $23.
The Federal Highway Administration officially gave the plan the go-ahead on Monday, meaning it’s now up to New York City’s transit officials — the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) — to make a final decision on toll rates. , discounts, hours and exemptions.
A plan released in August suggested vehicles would be charged $23 to enter the area south of 60th Street during peak daytime hours.
The off-peak fare would be $17.
All areas south of Central Park will have a flat entry fee of $23 for all drivers
Potential congestion charges are expected to bring $1 billion a year to MTA, which runs the city’s transit system
The program, first proposed in 2007 but launched in earnest in 2019, is expected to begin in the spring of 2024 and is expected to generate $1 billion for the MTA to spend on public transportation.
“Congestion pricing will reduce traffic in our crowded downtown, improve air quality and provide essential resources to the MTA,” said Kathy Hochul, Governor of New York.
“With the green light from the federal government, we look forward to moving forward with the implementation of this program.”
Last month tThe Biden administration has approved the release of the final EA.
The toll would be applied in addition to existing bridge and tunnel tolls to congestion tolls, which means the cost of a round-trip drive from areas like Princeton, New Jerseycould be up to $120.
Activists calling for the introduction of congestion charging are seen on April 21
A rally in favor of congestion charging is observed in March 2018
New York said drivers could face congestion charges of up to $23 a day by mid-2024
Mayor Eric Adams and City Comptroller Brad Lander applauded the announcement
A study published last year predicted that this would reduce the number of cars entering Manhattan by 15-20%.
Other major global cities such as Singapore and London already have congestion pricing policies to minimize traffic, speed up essential services and reduce pollution.
In New York, the city wants to charge a daily variable toll for vehicles entering or staying in the central business district, defined as between 60th Street in midtown Manhattan and Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan.
New York, which has the busiest US traffic, would become the first major US city to follow London, which began a similar charge in 2003.
MTA officials said they would need nearly a year to get the new tolling infrastructure in place once it gets federal approval, putting it on track to meet its current goal. launch of congestion pricing in the second quarter of 2024.

Kim Kardashian may have reinvented herself as a style icon last year, but thanks to some help from husband Kanye West she is looking to achieve a “new 2015 vision” for this year.
On Sunday night the reality star took to Twitter to tell fans that Kanye was helping her to redo her whole wardrobe.

Kim, 33, posted: “Up all night redoing my whole wardrobe with Kanye..... I'm so ready for new looks for the New Year! New 2015 vision.”

The Ravens’ bye-week couldn't have come at a better time as many key players will be returning to the field for Sunday’s primetime matchup against the Patriots. Despite a number of players being listed as questionable, Coach Harbaugh expects most of them to play. Here is the Ravens injury report:
Marquise Brown, Earl Thomas, Jimmy Smith, Patrick Mekari, Patrick Onwuasor, Bennett Jackson and Maurice Canady all listed as questionable.— Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) November 1, 2019
The return of Marquise Brown and Patrick Onwuasor will be essential for the Ravens’ chances at victory Sunday. Brown is expected to play after a two game absence because of an ankle sprain. In the previous two games without Brown, the Ravens offense became greatly hindered in their ability to stretch the field with the deep ball. Their offensive game plan for the past two games was very reminiscent to that of last season’s when Lamar Jackson became the starter. With Brown returning, the Patriots top-ranked defense will be forced to account for Brown’s playmaking abilities. Brown’s presence on the field will allow for greater flexibility in Greg Roman’s play-calling.
Onwuasor’s return will allow for greater linebacker depth as well as support in the weak-side spot where he and L.J. Fort will most likely share snaps.
Additionally, we will finally see the return of Jimmy Smith! After sustaining an MCL sprain Week 1 against the Dolphins, Smith will see a fair share of snaps Sunday. Smith’s return allows for the increase in cornerback depth, which has been hampered with injuries this season.
The Patriots also have their fair share of injuries. Many of the injured players are listed as questionable, but many of them should play given the stakes of Sunday’s matchup. Here is the Patriots’ injury report:
QUESTIONABLE RB Rex Burkhead, Foot (LP), S Patrick Chung, Heel/Chest (LP), WR Julian Edelman, Chest/Shoulder (LP), TE Ryan Izzo, Concussion (LP), TE Matt LaCosse, Knee (LP), G Shaq Mason, Ankle (LP), WR Gunner Olszewski, Ankle/Hamstring (LP), RB James White, Toe (LP)
With notable players such as Patrick Chung, Julian Edelman, Shaq Mason, and James White all being limited participants in Friday’s practice, still expect them to suit up Sunday night.
The Ravens will host the Patriots on primetime Sunday Night Football at 8:20 pm.

Tsunami Impact on Buildings
The 2011 Tohoku earthquake tsunami caused a catastrophic disaster. To deal with such massive tsunamis, disaster mitigation using multifaceted countermeasures is essential in addition to shore protection facilities. This study focused on one of such countermeasures, which involved beachside rigid structures. To quantitatively evaluate the influence of such structures on tsunami force, a three-dimensional analysis was performed using a numerical model FS3M. A comparison with experimental data showed that FS3M can predict water surface fluctuation, inundation depth, and tsunami force. Furthermore, it was found that determining the arrangement of beachside structures is essential to reduce tsunami force on rear buildings.

Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay said that the government and banks agreed to offer special loan without a mortgage for youth who intend to pursue studies abroad.
This was revealed during the ‘question answer session’ of the National Assembly on May 9.
Lyonchoen also said that there will be tax exemption for banks on the revenue earned from the loan they offer. “We even introduced Remit Bhutan saving account where about 600 account holders save their earnings today,” he said. “People have so far saved one million US dollars.”
Lyonchoen Tshering Tobgay said that while people leaving the country to work outside is a concern for the government, it should not be considered as people abandoning the country since they are going out to avail work opportunities.
Panbang’s Member of Parliament Dorji Wangdi, who asked the government’s stand on many people going overseas, said that in two years, about 900 civil servants have resigned and there are about 5,000 visa applications pending.
The MP said that the government had pledged 100 percent employment in the country but people leaving the country to find work overseas is contradictory and a concern.
The Prime Minister said that while the country needs people for agriculture, construction, civil service and private sectors, people leaving the country is also an advantage for the country.
“They would return with skills, experience and knowledge and contribute to the nation, which would benefit the country’s economy.”
Lyonchoen, however, said that even if 3,000 people leave the country, not even one percent of the population has left and it is not a serious concern.
Wangduephodrang’s Nyishog Sephu MP Kuenga said that the current overseas scenario indicates that there are no enough jobs in the country and questioned Lyonchoen on what are the measures taken by the government.
In response, Lyonchoen said that although there are enough jobs at all levels provided equally, a lot of people do not take up the job or are not interested.
Prime Minister said that the government had sent 3,700 unemployed to India, Middle East, Thailand and Japan so far. “We’re also discussing on the reintegration program for Bhutanese when they return to Bhutan.”

It’s expected that China will become the world’s largest economy in less than 15 years.1 Today, however, China is already the world’s largest app economy. The opportunities for mobile advertising China are enormous for both app publishers and advertisers. However, with these opportunities come challenges unique to the Chinese market.
Our new whitepaper, “Inside China: Key Insights for Unlocking This Mobile-First Market,” takes a deep-dive in what’s needed to find success in China. Download it today.
The Number of Smartphone Users in China Is Unparalleled — With Room to Grow
There have been plenty of headlines about the enormous growth China is experiencing across key sectors. The rising middle class, increasing productivity, and rapidly-expanding public infrastructure are all positive signs for the opportunities in China. That enormous growth can also be seen with mobile devices in China.
While most of those countries have matured when it comes to smartphone adoption, it is full-speed ahead in China. China’s smartphone adoption rate is a modest 73% amongst all phone users right now.2
But by 2022, that adoption rate will exceed Germany and come close to the US with an 87% adoption rate.
High eCPMs: Chinese Customers Are Invaluable to Mobile Advertisers
On a per capita basis, China’s GDP is lower than many other APAC nations — and less than half of South Korea and Japan. However, China is extremely desirable to advertisers. Part of the reason is that smartphone usage rates in China are particularly high, so audiences here are particularly engaged.
A key reason why eCPMs are so high in China is that brands are eagerly trying to earn a foothold in the market as personal spending power quickly grows. It is projected that by 2022, 61% of China’s urban households will be considered upper-middle class or higher.3
Rising wages means more spending power, so advertisers are trying to attract these potential customers. In 2012, the year the iPhone 5 first launched worldwide, just 17% of urban households in China were regarded as upper-middle class or higher.3
Navigating the Always-Changing Government Regulations Is a Challenge
As big as the opportunities are in China, there are challenges that publishers and advertisers need to be aware of. Out of all those challenges, none are as complicated as dealing with the rapidly-changing government regulations. There are a number of rules that companies need to abide by when operating in China, as some of the biggest digital companies in the world have learned.
Some rules can be burdensome, such as strict advertising requirements. Other regulations can be inscrutable, such as China’s rapid crackdown on mobile games as an effort to limit the amount of time children spend playing. As challenging as this environment can be, it is possible to navigate this framework.
The Many Android Stores Remain as Fragmented as Ever
Android phones dominate the Chinese market with a 75% market share compared to 22% for Apple’s iOS.4Despite this clear majority, publishers with Android apps have additional challenges. The Google Play Store is blocked in China, so hundreds of fragmented Android stores have taken its place.
This fragmented app store landscape is not ideal for app publishers. Gaining access to each store requires finding a local distribution service provider to navigate the complicated process. It also puts foreign publishers at a disadvantage. Meaningful consolidation of China’s Android app stores is unlikely to happen anytime soon.
These are just a few of the mobile insights into China. Download the full report to make the most of the opportunities within China.

BJR’s race engine program steps up
Brad Jones Racing’s exclusive V8 Supercar engine supply deal with Noonan Race Engines stepped up at Albert Park last weekend, with all three of the team’s Commodore VEs fitted with the Noonan-built units for the first time.
When BJR switched from Fords to Holdens in 2008, the Albury-based team used Walkinshaw Racing-built engines, but this year, the team elected to go down a different path with Jamie Noonan’s engine program. Noonan has worked for and supplied a variety of V8 Supercars teams in the past, but is only contracted to supply BJR this year.
BJR started the season with two Noonan-prepared engines in the Jason Richards and Jason Bright Commodores, while Karl Reindler’s Fair Dinkum Sheds entry used a Walkinshaw Racing-built unit.
With time and resources up their sleeves, BJR and Noonan installed the third Noonan engine in Reindler’s car after the Clipsal 500.

Team owner Kim Jones told Speedcafe.com.au that after the off-season expansion to three cars, all the pieces are now starting to come into place for his team.
“There’s been a little bit of work to it,” Jones said.
“We would have preferred to have the Noonan engine in there from the word go, but with the Fair Dinkum Shed deal coming together so late, we had to go with Option B, which was the Walkinshaw engine.
“After Clipsal, we had the ability to have the third engine in that car and the spares to be able to run it. There’s still a little bit of work to do and some modifications, but there’s not a great deal to do. It was in there for Albert Park and it seemed to work fine.
“Away we go now – all three of our cars on the same program – and that’s our preferred program. Noonan Engines has done a terrific job to get to where we are now, considering where we started. The engines are faultless, beautiful to look at and they run very, very strongly.”
While the engine supply deal was never intended to be an exclusive arrangement, Jones says that having Noonan’s sole focus on his team has a lot of benefits.
“The main reason why we’ve chosen to go with Noonan is because we’re the sole focus in V8 Supercars for Noonan,” he said.
“Before (with Walkinshaw) we were one of many parties. As a working group, we sat down and decided half way through last year where we wanted to go and some of the things that we wanted to change. One of those things was to run a different engine supply. Jamie (Noonan) and his boys have worked very hard to get us to where we are, and we’re not lacking in the engine department at all. It’s all working very well.”

Finally - Dog and Doggie Parent Happy!!!!
on October 18, 2012
I've spent a lot of $$$ trying different things in my Mazda CX-7 to keep my rambunctious 1 year old 55-pound lab mix safe and comfortable while allowing her to have some freedom. I've tried the zip line and harness (dog almost strangled herself when the line got wrapped around her neck when she turned around), seatbelt harness (dog did not like downward slope of seat for laying down and just wouldn't settle down), and a soft-crate (which was a royal pain getting it into and out of the car). I decided to try one last product, the Petego Pet Tube Car Kennel, Large, and if that didn't work, I'd go back to the better of the previously mentioned products. Bottom Line Up Front: We LOVE the Pet Tube but it is not quite perfect. What I like:
- The Pet Tube was easy to install in my back seat. Just put it in your car and pop it open. There are three straps that you can use to anchor the tube to your back seat. That plus the front seats means the tube isn't going anywhere. I always leave it in the full size configuration since if it isn't in my car, it's in a hotel or relative's house that I drove to. If I need to fold it down I just use a couple of bungee cords to wrap around it rather deal with folding it back down perfectly so you can pack it away.
- My dog can easily move back and forth across the back seat, turn around, and sort-of do a slouchy-sit up and the mesh top gives the dog some (but not a whole lot of) visibility without her trying to poke her head out the window. Sometimes I leave the back windows fully open and my dog can poke her nose out a bit against the mesh and I don't worry about her jumping up on the window ledge or debris hurting her.
- The dirt and pet hair stay contained in the tube and it is easy to vacuum out and wipe down.
- My dog can chew on a bone in it and if I stop suddenly, the bone doesn't go flying or get lost under the front seat.
- There's room for another medium or small dog to fit in the tube when making short trips to the dog park or when traveling to pack walks. Wouldn't have another dog in there for a long trip though.
- On sudden stops, I don't particularly care if my dog loses her balance as she won't get hurt because she won't slide off the seat or bang into anything hard. The Pet Tube gives me peace of mind when traveling with my dog--I find that I'm no longer looking back to see if my dog is tangled up with straps or if the zip line is stuck.
- In a pinch, I use this as a portable kennel. Because the tube is round it needs to be wedged up against a bed or wall with your suitcases or a chair. If you can't use a soft-crate because your dog chews, scratches or whatever, you won't be able to use this one either.
-If making a shopping trip without your dog, you can throw your packages into the tube and zip it up and your packages will stay put. Just don't put anything in there that may rip the tube fabric.
What I don't like:
- I couldn't find any crash safety information to determine if the stitching will hold if a heavy loose dog goes flying forward during an accident. It holds well during sudden stops though.
- Once you zip your dog up in the tube you will need to be a bit of a contortionist if you or your passenger want to pet your dog or give it a treat as you will have to reach the zippers on the end. You'd have the same problem if you used a soft crate so this isn't an issue unique to this product. I would have liked this product to have a small zipped opening in the top so you can access your dog from the middle.
- Although there is a lot of mesh over the top, it is hard to see your dog inside the tube as the mesh material is dark. If your backseat normally gets a lot of light this won't be a problem.
- Even though I used the straps that came with the product and anchored it to the back seat, the tube still slides a smidge on my leather seats. Because of this, the obscenely expensive comfort pillows that you can buy with this end up sliding as well. I'm going to try putting the pillows underneath the tube and velcro in a bath runner or doggie mats inside for her to lay on as laying on the nylon wouldn't be comfortable. I suggest you skip the related pillows and come up with a cheaper solution that works for your dog.
- If you don't already have one, you will need to get a no-spill water bowl if you want your dog to have water in the tube. There's no place for a crate-style watering tube and water will slosh over a regular bowl.
For these reasons, I didn't give the product 5-stars but, on the whole, I'm really glad I bought the tube. My dog relaxes better in the tube and sleeps more and I'm not worrying about what's going on in the back seat. As for quality, I haven't had any issues with the zippers like others have had. I hope you find this review useful to you.

Wild quinine is also commonly called American Feverfew due to its widespread use in past generations. These plants were once used by Native Americans medicinally to reduce fevers and as a diuretic.
Wild quinine was also used as a substitute for the bark of the Cinchona tree during World War I, in an attempt to maintain the supply of quinine to treat malaria.
The preference is full sun and mesic conditions. However, a small amount of shade is tolerated, and the soil can vary from moist to slightly dry.

By ADANAI staffTThe World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event is just heating up and the WSOP will come to a close for the summer before you know it. Other than the high roller bracelet hunters (Phil Ivey, Johnny Chan, Phil Hellmuth to name a few), the vast majority of poker pros and amateur enthusiasts will go back to the World Poker Tour (WPT) after the WSOP concludes.
So here is the Binary Battle: Which do you prefer – the World Series of Poker or the World Poker Tour?
Without a doubt, the Main Event is the king of all tournaments and the one that every poker player dreams of winning. The opportunity for a bracelet makes each WSOP event extra special but each major WPT event has their final table on television (and they are re-run all of the time so there is a pretty good chance that your grandma will get to check you out). On one hand, the WSOP bracelet is a super cool thing to have and you have it forever. On the other hand, being on TV a few times and showing some personality can help get you on televised cash games which can help your following and potentially lead to endorsements. While it is a total guess, most pros would probably want to win one WSOP bracelet and then use their run good to win a bunch of WPT events.
It’s hard to beat the summer camp atmosphere of the WSOP. What’s better than tons of poker with the downside of going busto being extra free time in Las Vegas? The WSOP is more than a no-limit hold’em fest so there are games for those that enjoy other poker disciplines. WSOP events for the most part are no re-buy events, which purists think make them purer poker events as opposed to poker/bankroll management events (we have a bias against rebuy events here at ADANAI). The Rio isn’t the Bellagio but it is definitely better than many stops on the WPT tour. We won’t comment on tournament structure but if you are okay with no rebuys then the bias towards longer levels and a flatter structure at the WSOP makes for longer deep stack play, which is always good.
At the end of the day, real poker players will get a game going anywhere they can as they all live by Paul Newman’s motto in “The Color of Money”: Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
