But AFAIK court jesters were the only court staff who were allowed to be (indeed, expected to be) disrespectful to the rulers. They could tell the truth to people who were above the law and never normally questioned or argued with. They provided light relief and honest advice.

Triboulet has a few stories like that about him. At one point, he smacked King Francis on the backside and the king threatened him with death unless he could come up with an apology more offensive than the butt-smacking. Triboulet responded "I'm so sorry, Your Majesty, but I didn't recognize you. I mistook you for the Queen."

Preparation for a trivia competition is a strange mix of memory training, curiosity, and strategy. There may seem to be those who naturally excel at remembering insignificant facts, but the truth is that better trivia players generally build up their knowledge over time through often deliberate efforts. To prepare, it works best to treat trivia like any other game: you practice, learn habits, and train your mind to retrieve information quickly under stress.
One of the best ways to put yourself in the shape of a trivia player is to soak yourself in lists of fun facts. They might seem trivial to start with, like the fact that octopuses have three hearts or that honey doesn't rot, but these little morsels of fact are exactly the kind of thing that comes up on quizzes. Trivia questions rather favor broad, shallow knowledge, so mastering facts from a wide range of subjects, history, science, popular culture, geography, literature, sets you in good stead.

As much as I hate to lose my 15 year old cat Tiger, I hope he goes before me. Because, 5 1/2 years after Mom's death he has fully "imprinted" on to me. It took myself and my other 2 cats at the time Tux and Romy (RIP to both) to keep him alive. Now, it's just the 2 of us and he didn't even handle it well and struggled the times that I've been hospitalized since then. The 4 Vets that he's seen in the time since Mom died, have a combined experience of 170 years have all said the same thing, it's NOT common for animals to "fully imprint" on more than one human in their lifetime. Research "Animal Imprinting" and you'll understand what I'm talking about when I say it's a "unique" experience. For ALL pet owners and it doesn't matter what type of animal it is and it implies to EVERYTHING under the sun, please remember that it's something special and love and bond with your pet as much as they love and want to bond with you.

George Westinghouse did something very similar with his planned community of Wilmerding, PA. "The worker houses were outfitted with running water, electricity, gas, and often space for small gardens. Homeownership was facilitated through periodic salary deductions. There was a pension and an insurance system. Factories were well-lit, ventilated, and were outfitted with medical facilities and personnel for treating injuries."

What is it about chocolate companies?? In the UK it was common for them to do this but I thought that was because they were frequently run by Quakers. Having googled Hershey was Mennonite so I suspect it comes from a similar religious attitude. We need more of this type of religion and less of the prosperity gospel/evangelical hate everyone not like you rubbish.

Not to be a downer, but factory towns aren't feel-good stories. Advanced amenities are great, but "housing for employees" inherently means if you lose your job you're also going to be homeless. It's a method of control, like union-busting or taking employees' travel documents.
Forrest Hobbs 5 months ago
DE Ray: you have a point, but some factory towns weren't just cynical exercises in control. Some employers were genuinely trying to provide a better environment for their workers than had previously existed without any obvious (pay attention to that word...) cynical motive at all. E.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Sunlight and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bournville.

In France the chocolate company Menier built à whole town for their workers in Noisiel. Houses, school, clinic. When I met my husband, he was working (office work) in that factory. The houses had long been sold, and the company had been bought by the UK Rowntree-Mackintosh, but they still made Menier chocolate, among other things like Quality Street chocolates (yum!). Later, the site was bought by Nestlé, and became their French HQ, after à thorough refurbishing of the old factory, which had some outstanding architecture, including à building conceived by Eiffel himself (or maybe one of his pupils).

That is the real secret to success in business and it doesn't require selling your soul. In fact, it probably guarantees that you have one to the end. Capitalists who forget this may be able to make a lot of money, but if they didn't share that with the people who helped them make that money, when they died, they died without a soul. Who knows what comes afterward in that case.

An number of comedians have similar experiences. There is a joke that doesn't translate well, or doesn't resonate with the audience. They don't get the joke, but they laugh because they know a joke has been told, and it's the right thing to laugh.

LOL! I've experienced that on a one-to-one basis with some Asian female friends.

You start to notice what kind of facts always seem to cycle back in: capitals, record holders, firsts, award winners, dates of notable events. The more lists you do, the more your brain starts to make connections. For instance, if you know Marie Curie won two Nobel Prizes, that tidbit might enable you to answer a follow-up question about scientists, physics, or pioneering women.

Yea, I’m not sure about this. Maybe it’s just boredom because I saw a wild mountain lion slow blink at me once. Other than definitely not seeing me as any kind of threat, I don’t think he thought much of me, one way or the other.
Nikki Spears Gross 5 months ago
I'm almost always sitting "Indian style" or I'll lay on my left side. (I know...Not PC) especially when I'm on my bed. If I'm sitting, then I'll c**k my head to the right and slow blink twice, pause and the slow blink again, all while I'm talking to him and using his name. It always its up with head butts and nuzzles, then laying in my lap for pets. If I'm on my side, head butts, nuzzles and he curls up under my neck for cuddles and pets. Tigey only weighs 7.5 to 8 lbs, so I all him my "cuddle bug" for a reason. Dust Bunny, who is technically my roommates cats, I swear to god that he's part dog. It doesn't matter if I'm asleep or awake, he wants to lick my face and neck, so he's the reason that I keep a package of wet wipes next to my bed on my nightstand. Dust Bunny is 3 years old and my cat in everyway that matters, I just force my roommates to take him to the Vet when needed and foot the bill for it, since I'm on a fixed income and would do it if I could pay for it.

I knew a person who was tidying up his life, and getting ready to bring it to a close. The only reason he didn't was he couldn't find anyone to take care of his cat. He stayed alive to look after his cat, and in time, his mental health improved hugely.
Joe Reaves 5 months ago
Even if you're not to that point a pet can be vital. When my father was in hospital I was having to make a very long trip every day or every other day to visit him and I already have Chronic Fatigue and if it was just me when I got home I would have collapsed on the couch until it was time to drag myself to bed. But the dog needed to eat, so while I was in the kitchen I would make myself something and the dog needed to be walked and then taken out before bed to pee.... On the days I wasn't visiting I might have just stayed in bed all day because of how I felt but again, the dog needed to be let out and walked and fed.... That little muppet really kept me going.

Cats love petting, but their nervous systems are very sensitive, so sometimes they get over-stimulated. I could always tell when mine was because her tail would start lashing. At that point I would sit still and hide my hands, because otherwise she would attack them.
Load More Replies...Flashcards and quiz apps are helpful, but one of the things that makes fun fact lists so powerful is that they're generally going to be fun. I.e., you're more likely to remember it because you laughed or were surprised. Weird facts, like the fact that wombat poo is cube-shaped, stay with you because they're just so weird. And when you're racing, the facts that stick are the facts that score you points.

I think all social animals understand the concept of unfairness. E.g. in the horse/pony herds a member behaving bad is excluded as punisment. Being alone is deadly, so they do their best to be allowed back in. Unfortunately they do not understand the concept of being sold. They only understand that zhey did nothing wrong, but got separated from their friends and safety, and find themselves all alone on unknown territory. Lots of buyrs don't give them time to mourn and learn to cope with the new situation. They get angry, because "this is not the horse we bought". Ponies are the worst off, because parents buy it as toy for their children and do not want a sad animal, so it gets sold quickly. This is why ponies have a "difficult" character, they know not to trust anybody and that they have to fight on their own.

It's also a good idea to focus your study on areas where you have less knowledge. If you're a sports fan, that's great, but don't skip areas such as art, opera, or American presidents because they are dull. Fun fact lists are a great way to dip your toes in areas that you don't know as well without diving into a big textbook. Over time, you'll accumulate enough of a base so you'll be okay when the host brings out a category that used to be your worst.

This is several countries... For instance in Canada we can take 12-18 months and parents can split that time. Jobs are protected during this time and we are entitled to any promotions that would likely occur during this period as well. Any country that thinks parents should leave their children after 6-12 weeks is a joke.

These leaves are not only for parents, they are for their newborn children, who deserve all the attention they can get. This should be mandatory everywhere, poor babies if not.
Mabelbabel 5 months ago
Its per child, not per parent. The parents can choose how to split it. There's a lot of data indicating that it has benefits not only for the baby and family, but also for the employer. There's greater employee loyalty, so staff are more likely to stay with an employer that gives them parental leave, which reduces staff turnover, improves efficiency, and reduces training costs. Companies with generous parental leave get better feedback and reputations, so attract better quality workers. They are also known to have fewer staff going off on sick leave. In general, the additional cost of parental leave is very easily outweighed by the benefits.

It's the same with the McDonalds lawsuit. While their PR machine did a good job convincing people it was frivolous, they wouldn't have needed to if they'd just paid her medical bills, which was all she was asking for. The huge damages were because the jury heard the evidence and decided not only were they negligent but a) they'd been warned multiple times and decided it was better business just to pay off complainants (and then decided not to even do that) and b) they were acting like complete d***s and needed to be punished.

Besides memorizing information, a portion of the effort in preparation for trivia is building recall speed and confidence. Game shows, online trivia games, or doing it with friends can be a means of mimicking competition pressure. Practice answering on your own or timed out loud to get used to thinking quickly. And if you answer incorrectly? That's okay. Even an incorrect response can teach you something for the next round.

He died and I inherited her. She bonded to me and my son right away (but the Vet said she was still nearly completely feral). I only remember her making a noise once or twice. Once was to say sorry to me. (She loved to follow you and take swipes at your legs with her paw. She did it once when my legs were bare and I yelped.

Read about the history, the tourist attractions, and use Google Maps to 'walk' around the place. It's almost as good as going.

This is incorrect. Treadmills were originally a way of harnessing human, or animal power. They could be used to grind grain, but also pump water etc. Centuries later, in 1818, and English, William Cubitt introduced them as a form of punishment. His treadmills were closer to 'an endless staircase'. Some of the treadmills were uses to mill grain, others did nothing. It was purely for punishment.

That’s interesting because they’re patriarchal cultures. Then there’s North Korea, ostensibly self-reliant with the government (eg the Kim dynasty) providing everything everyone needed. Enter Kim Jong Il and his excessive consumption of the resources, and the end of help from the USSR. During the atrocious famine that began in 1994 a grey market began to be tolerated because they needed to eat. The famine still comes roaring back and the factories are often idle. Still, men need to go to “work” so women produce food, There was a period of time when they were getting food aid from Sweden and the US, but IIRC, the government tried to conceal any indication that it was US aid and in some cases the donated food was sold. It was a challenge at times to let people eat it because men were fermenting it.

European houses tend to be built from stone, bricks and concrete, not sticks. This plays a significant factor in how much the homes heat up from solar gain. Also European homes tend to benefit far more from the shade of trees. In the summer the trees shade the homes and roads, making the towns and cities cooler. In winter, the leaves have gone, and the sun can shine as much as it wants.

Reason is that buildings in hot areas are build to keep the heat out. Size and location of windows, brick/stone/concrete walls, shutters and shades, ventilation options, trees and grass.
