I’m 66 and my adult son called me last Sunday just to ask how I was — no favor, no crisis, no reason — and I didn’t know how to have that conversation because I couldn’t remember the last time anyone asked just to check, and I was so unprepared I turned the conversation back to him within two minutes because being asked about myself had apparently become something I don’t know how to receive anymore

Формулировка крайне важна: «...на основе текущих банковских лицензий, учитывая, что у вас система как раз ПОД/ФТ (противодействие отмыванию денег и финансированию терроризма) выстроена» .

95% success rate: This new trick lures termites straight to their death

Add to bookmarks Don't show ScienceDaily

Scientists at UC Riverside have found a clever new way to outsmart termites—by turning their own instincts against them. Using a natural pine scent called pinene, which smells like food to termites, researchers can lure the pests straight toward a targeted dose of insecticide hidden in wood. The result is dramatically higher kill rates—jumping from about 70% to over 95%—without the need for widespread toxic fumigation. Read more ›

Psychology says people who grew up in the 1960s and 70s don’t handle hardship better than everyone else because they are stronger — they handle it better because they were never offered the alternative, and a person who was never offered the alternative develops a relationship with difficulty that people who were offered it spend their whole lives trying to build in a gym
