What Not To Do In 13 Countries

Japan

Don’t tip anyone: “Tipping is just not part of the culture. Don’t even leave the small change. People will come running after you with it.”

Don’t wear your shoes in someone’s house: “If you see other people taking their shoes off, do the same. (Note: there’s a small area right inside the entrance called a ‘genkan’ which is usually one level below the rest of the house, where you take off your shoes. You don’t take them off outside the house!)”

1. There Are More Stars in the Universe Than There Are Grains of Sand on the Earth

The size of the universe is truly mind-boggling and difficult to comprehend. Astronomer Carl Sagan is famous for claiming that there are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on the world’s deserts and beaches, but this is, of course, difficult to prove. Many people do not take this as a fact, and instead just see it as a good way of describing how astonishingly big the cosmos is

Fascinating Photos Collected From History

The headquarters of Mussolini’s Italian Fascist Party, 1934

The building in the picture is Palazzo Braschi in Rome, the headquarters of the Fascist Party Federation (the local one, not the national Party headquarters). It was not always covered up like that; this set-up was displayed for the 1934 elections, in which Italians were called to vote either for or against the Fascist representatives list. The “SI SI…” lettering (meaning “Yes Yes…”) was propaganda for one of the two plebiscite elections held during the Fascist Regime, where electors didn’t vote for individual parties (there wasn’t any but the Fascist one), neither for single candidates, but just voted “Yes” or “No” to a single list of candidates presented by the Duce himself.

The voting procedure used two ballots and two envelopes; the yes ballot was in the colors of the Italian flag with fascist symbols, while the no ballot was a white sheet. The voter had to place the ballots in envelopes, put his chosen ballot in the ballot box and return the discarded one to the voting supervisors, de facto allowing them to check what each person had voted. The list put forward was ultimately approved by 99.84% of voters. The overwhelming majority provoked Benito Mussolini to dub the election the “second referendum of Fascism”.

Fascinating Photos Collected From History

Anna Mae ran away from her family farm in Wisconsin to join the circus where she met tattoo artist Charles “Red” Gibbons, who desperately wanted “somebody who could inspire him”. For over fifty years, she performed under the stage name, Artoria: The Tattooed Lady.

Artoria was born on a farm in upper Wisconsin. Her parents were poor and by the age of 14 she decided to leave home. When she was interviewed by Arthur Lewis, writer and author of the book, Carnival, she said, “I never been no place in my life.” While hanging around a local carnival sideshow she met Red Gibbons. “Him and me got to talking, tole me the show didn’t have no tattooed lady and would I like to be one.” Said he was the tattoo artist and if I let him tattoo me I could join the show and see the world. Well that’s what I done. We was married soon after that and we both had a good life. There ain’t hardly no place in the country I ain’t been to but when he died (late 1940’s) I went into retirement out on the west coast.”

Artoria’s tattoos were amazing: magnificent reproductions of paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo and a few patriotic designs but for those few exceptions the main inspiration is Italian. “My husband done everyone of them,” she said proudly.”They’re all masterpieces. He was crazy ’bout eyetalian (sic) painters.”

9 Lawyers Reveal What It’s Like To Defend Someone Who Is Clearly Guilty

April 11, 2023 Leave a Comment

1. I’m a public defender. I’d say most of my clients are guilty of what they were arrested for.

My job isn’t necessarily to get someone acquitted if they are actually guilty, it’s to provide their Constitutionally guaranteed right to counsel, protect their other rights, and act as a check against the prosecutors and police.

I’m supposed to work for the best possible outcome for my client, and 95% of the time this means getting them the best deal I can and making sure the prosecutor is doing their job.

How does it “feel” to represent a guilty client?

Well, I have moral objections to drug laws and serious issues with the way they and many other laws are disproportionately enforced against people of color.
