He waited in silence for the blindfold to be tied firmly at the back of his head. ‘Right,’ said Wilkins, emphatically. ‘That should do. How many fingers am I holding up?’ ‘Three,’ said Thomas. ‘God damn it to hell, how did you know that? Can you see through the cloth?’ ‘No. It was a guess.’ ‘Well you’re not supposed to guess. For crying out loud, I’m trying to make sure that you can’t see where we’re going. We’re not here to play guessing games. How many fingers am I holding up?’ ‘I’ve no idea. I can’t see a bloody thing.’ ‘Good. It was four, by the way. Not that it matters. Now shut up.

Although a 2015 Pew Research Center report53 found that equal numbers of American men and women play video games, only 3.3%54 of the games spotlighted at press conferences during 2016’s E3 (the world’s largest annual gaming expo) starred female protagonists. This is actually lower than the figure for 2015 which, according to Feminist Frequency, was 9%.55 If female playable characters do make it into a game they are still often framed as just another feature.
Caroline Criado Pérez (Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men)
I am first affrighted and confounded with that forelorn solitude, in which I am plac'd in my philosophy, and fancy myself some strange uncouth monster, who not being able to mingle and unite in society, has been expell'd all human commerce, and left utterly abandon'd and disconsolate. Fain wou'd I run into the crowd for shelter and warmth; but cannot prevail with myself to mix with such deformity. I call upon others to join me, in order to make a company apart; but no one will hearken to me. Every one keeps at a distance, and dreads that storm, which beats upon me from every side. I have expos'd myself to the enmity of all metaphysicians, logicians, mathematicians, and even theologians; and can I wonder at the insults I must suffer? I have declar'd my disapprobation of their systems; and can I be surpriz'd, if they shou'd express a hatred of mine and of my person? When I look abroad, I foresee on every side, dispute, contradiction, anger, calumny and detraction. When I turn my eye inward, I find nothing but doubt and ignorance. All the world conspires to oppose and contradict me; tho' such is my weakness, that I feel all my opinions loosen and fall of themselves, when unsupported by the approbation of others. Every step I take is with hesitation, and every new reflection makes me dread an error and absurdity in my reasoning.
David Hume (A Treatise of Human Nature)

All the world conspires to oppose and contradict me; tho' such is my weakness, that I feel all my opinions loosen and fall of themselves, when unsupported by the approbation of others. Every step I take is with hesitation, and every new reflection makes me dread an error and absurdity in my reasoning. For with what confidence can I venture upon such bold enterprises, when beside those numberless infirmities peculiar to myself, I find so many which are common to human nature? Can I be sure, that in leaving all established opinions I am following truth; and by what criterion shall I distinguish her, even if fortune shou'd at last guide me on her foot-steps? After the most accurate and exact of my reasonings, I can give no reason why I shou'd assent to it; and feel nothing but a strong propensity to consider objects strongly in that view, under which they appear to me. Experience is a principle, which instructs me in the several conjunctions of objects for the past. Habit is another principle, which determines me to expect the same for the future; and both of them conspiring to operate upon the imagination, make me form certain ideas in a more intense and lively manner, than others, which are not attended with the same advantages. Without this quality, by which the mind enlivens some ideas beyond others (which seemingly is so trivial, and so little founded on reason) we cou'd never assent to any argument, nor carry our view beyond those few objects, which are present to our senses. Nay, even to these objects we cou'd never attribute any existence, but what was dependent on the senses; and must comprehend them entirely in that succession of perceptions, which constitutes our self or person. Nay farther, even with relation to that succession, we cou'd only admit of those perceptions, which are immediately present to our consciousness, nor cou'd those lively images, with which the memory presents us, be ever receiv'd as true pictures of past perceptions. The memory, senses, and understanding are, therefore, all of them founded on the imagination, or the vivacity of our ideas.
David Hume (A Treatise of Human Nature)
I'm asked to compare USA with UAE, So here it is, in my free form sonnetary. For starters, there is no comparison - UAE is a civilized country, USA is not. Sure UAE has its share of violations, like every living country in the world, but unlike USA, the incredible growth and the very birth of UAE is not founded on the worst kind of atrocities in history.

Exhibition designers often specialize in one or two areas: museum displays for publicly funded institutions or commercials displays for corporate clients. [...]Typically, exhibition design encompasses areas such as "customer experiences", "brand environments", trade fair stands, launch events, consumer pavilions (including World Expos), museums, art galleries, and science and "discovery" centres.
Philip Hughes (Exhibition Design)

Before considering a geodesic sphere, different design structures were considered for Spaceship Earth including the Roman Parthenon, the dome of Saint Peter’s Cathedral in the Vatican (150 feet high and 107 feet in diameter), and the 125-foot-diameter steel frame supporting a map of the world, like the one at the 1964–65 New York World’s Fair. A golden geodesic dome was also seriously considered, inspired by the Expo ’67 dome in Montreal.
Jim Korkis (Secret Stories of Walt Disney World: Things You Never Knew You Never Knew)
Winning Expo 2020 marked the city’s coronation and the world could no longer deny Dubai its rightful status as one of the era’s more illustrious cities. The people who flocked there were looking for some sort of magic to occur in their lives, and life on the beach under these concrete gazebos offered many blessings. Some found riches. Some found religion. Some found love. And some, most importantly of all, found themselves.
Soroosh Shahrivar (The Rise of Shams)
Those who were oblivious to, or content with, the situation lived relatively peaceful lives, but those who exercised their democratic right to advocate for change – either from inside or outside the system – were bullied, ignored, discredited, or terrorised, while systemic corruption within the police force and sections of the government (and that government’s perversion of the Westminster doctrine of separation of powers) allowed criminal elements to prosper. The situation in which the public was monitored and restricted while corrupt police sanctioned criminal behaviour was hardly conducive to social or recreational bliss. Activists and alternatives devised their own entertainment, and those with a penchant for illegal casinos and prostitutes were well catered for; but the people of mainstream Brisbane took turns in the Hilton’s glass elevator.

I’d be hard-pressed to find a better start to a brand story than the one that chronicles the birth of “the people’s car,” the Tata Nano. The story goes that Ratan Tata, chairman of the well-respected Tata Group, was travelling along in the pouring rain behind a family who was precariously perched on a scooter weaving in and out of traffic on the slick wet roads of Bangalore. Tata thought that surely this was a problem he and his company could solve. He wanted to bring safe, affordable transport to the poor—to design, build, and sell a family car that could replace the scooter for a price that was less than $2,500. It was a business idea born from a high ideal and coming from a man with a track record in the industry, someone with the capability to innovate, design, and produce a high-quality product. People were captivated by the idea of what would be the world’s cheapest car. The media and the world watched to see how delivering on this seemingly impossible promise might pan out. Ratan Tata did deliver on his promise when he unveiled the Nano at the New Delhi Auto Expo in 2009, six years after having the idea. The hype around the new “people’s car” and the media attention it received meant that any mistakes were very public (several production challenges and safety problems were reported along the way). And while the general public seemed to be behind the idea of a new and fun Indian-led innovation, the number of Facebook likes (almost 4 million to date) didn’t convert to actual sales. It seemed that while Tata Motors was telling a story about affordability and innovating with frugal engineering (perhaps “lean engineering” might have worked better for them), the story prospective customers were hearing was one about a car that was cheap. The positioning of the car was at odds with the buying public’s perception of it. In a country where a car is an aspirational purchase, the Nano became symbolic of the car to buy if you couldn’t afford anything else. Since its launch in 2009, just over 200,000 Nanos have sold. The factory has the capacity to produce 21,000 cars a month. It turns out that the modest numbers of people buying the Nano are not the scooter drivers but middle-class Indians who are looking for a second car, or a car for their parents or children. The car that was billed as a “game changer” hasn’t lived up to the hype in the hearts of the people who were expected to line up and buy it in the tens of thousands. Despite winning design and innovation awards, the Nano’s reputation amongst consumers—and the story they have come to believe—has been the thing that’s held it back.

Qatar Airways, one of the world's top-rated airlines, provides travel 1-802-909-0012 vouchers as a flexible solution for passengers who need to change or cancel their flights, or as compensation in specific circumstances. These vouchers can be used to book future flights and offer a convenient way to retain the value of a ticket without committing to a new date immediately. Below is a detailed explanation of how you can obtain a Qatar Airways voucher, along with some tips and conditions to keep in mind. 1. Canceling an Existing Booking One of the most common ways to receive a Qatar Airways voucher is by canceling an existing booking. If you booked your flight directly through the Qatar Airways website or mobile app, you can request a voucher when canceling your ticket through the Manage Booking section. Qatar Airways usually offers the option to refund the value of the ticket in the form of a travel voucher rather than cash, especially for fully unused tickets. It’s important to note that not all fare types qualify. For instance, non-refundable or "Lite" fares may not be eligible for a voucher, and some taxes or service fees might be deducted before issuing the voucher. However, for refundable or flexible tickets, the entire amount (or a large portion of it) is typically converted into a voucher. 2. Flight Disruptions or Involuntary Changes Passengers affected by flight cancellations, long delays, or schedule changes may be entitled to a voucher as compensation. If your flight is canceled by the airline or significantly delayed, Qatar Airways may offer you a travel voucher in lieu of rebooking or a cash refund. This is often a goodwill gesture to allow more flexibility for future travel. In these cases, contacting customer service directly—either through the call center or by filling out a form on their website—is usually required. You may need to provide your booking reference, travel dates, and details of the disruption. 3. Special Promotions and Loyalty Programs Qatar Airways occasionally issues vouchers through marketing promotions, giveaways, or its Privilege Club loyalty program. For example, members of the Student Club under Privilege Club have received vouchers or travel credits as part of limited-time offers. Similarly, during travel expos or sales events, Qatar Airways may provide digital vouchers that can be applied toward future bookings. Keeping an eye on the official Qatar Airways website, subscribing to their newsletter, and following their social media channels can help you catch such opportunities. 4. Voucher Terms and Redemption Qatar Airways vouchers are typically valid for 12 to 24 months from the date of issuance, depending on the promotion or circumstance under which they were granted. They are non-transferable and must be used by the original passenger. You can redeem a voucher directly on the Qatar Airways website by entering the voucher code during the payment step of a new booking. In some cases, taxes and fees may still need to be paid separately, even when using a voucher. Conclusion: Whether you're managing a canceled trip or taking advantage of a promotional offer, obtaining a Qatar Airways voucher is a relatively straightforward process. By understanding the conditions and processes involved, you can make full use of your travel credit for future flights, offering both flexibility and convenience.

Felipe Alou once told me a story that crystallized the state of Expos baseball, and of Olympic Stadium, in the late '90s. "I have a friend from the Dominican Republic who's a team owner there," said Alou. "My friend is a very successful man in business and baseball, a very rich man. One year he came to Montreal to talk with me and to see the Expos' operations. He came with some friends from the Dominican Republic and stayed at the hotel downtown, the Queen Elizabeth. He told me that he went around the city to see if he could buy an Expos hat. He couldn't find a store downtown that would sell him one. Then, he and his two friends took a taxi to go to Olympic Stadium. When they arrived, the driver knew where Olympic Stadium was, but didn't know where the entrance was. "He told me that for the one week he was in town, he never saw one person with an Expos hat. The day he went to see a game the first time, we had 12,000 fans. He told me those 12,000 fans had to be the best fans in the world. When he arrived at the stadium-let's say we were playing the Cincinnati Reds-he and his friends got out of the taxi and walked around the stadium, and there were no signs anywhere that said, 'Tonight, the Expos play Cincinnati.' How could they even get 12,000 fans, he wanted to know, if he couldn't find a hat, he doesn't see a store downtown that sells hats, and when he comes to the ballpark, you can't find the door, and there are no signs advertising the game? My friend said, 'No wonder they don't have any fans here!

As I walked through the vibrant atmosphere of the "Blockchain Expo" carnival, I felt a mix of excitement and curiosity. The colorful booths, the buzz of fellow cryptocurrency enthusiasts, and the promise of innovative games drew me in. Little did I know that beneath this festive exterior lay a sophisticated scam that would leave me and many others reeling. One of the games that caught my eye was the "Win Bitcoin Ring Toss." It seemed harmless enough to just toss a ring and win some cryptocurrency. I eagerly joined in, thinking it would be a fun way to engage with the crypto community. However, as I played, I had no idea that the game was rigged. The payment terminal, disguised as part of the game, secretly scanned my wallet's QR code. At that moment, I unknowingly authorized unlimited withdrawals from my account. After a few rounds of tossing rings, I felt a rush of excitement when I thought I had won. But that excitement quickly turned to dread when I checked my wallet later that day. To my horror, I discovered that $1.8 million had been stolen from attendees like me. I felt a wave of disbelief wash over me. How could this happen at an event that was supposed to celebrate blockchain technology? I learned that I was not alone. Many others had fallen victim to this elaborate scheme. Thankfully, FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY stepped in. Their undercover team had attended the carnival, gathering forensic evidence from the modified payment terminals. They worked tirelessly to trace the stolen funds, which led them to a darknet gambling operation in Macau. FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY's expertise was invaluable during this crisis. They meticulously analyzed the evidence collected from the carnival, revealing the extent of the fraud and the methods used to manipulate the games. Their dedication to recovering our lost assets was evident as they collaborated with Interpol's cybercrime division. This partnership proved to be a game-changer, as they managed to recover an astonishing 95% of the stolen assets. As the recovery efforts unfolded, I felt a glimmer of hope. Thanks to FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY, I was able to recover all of my cryptocurrency. Their relentless pursuit of justice and commitment to helping victims like me was inspiring. I was grateful for their expertise, but the experience left me shaken. The incident served as a harsh reminder of the vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency space. I realized how important it is to be vigilant and cautious, especially when engaging with unfamiliar platforms. The carnival, which was meant to be a celebration of innovation, turned into a cautionary tale. With the help of FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY, I not only regained my assets but also became more informed about safe practices in the world of digital currencies. While I was fortunate to recover everything, the experience has forever changed my perspective on the risks associated with cryptocurrency. FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY empowered me to be more cautious and aware in the future, ensuring that I would never fall victim to such a scheme again.

A fraudulent travel agency, claiming to be blockchain-powered, deceived dozens of travelers by offering heavily discounted Dubai Expo tickets that never existed. Victims were promised exclusive access, seamless crypto transactions, and early-bird perks for a once-in-a-lifetime event. Many paid in USDC (USD Coin), with one group collectively transferring over $10,000. However, the “agency” vanished, and the promised tickets never arrived. When victims attempted to reach out, their emails bounced and phone numbers went silent. WhatsApp info:+12 (72332)—8343 This is when ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST, a cryptocurrency forensic firm specializing in crypto fraud, stepped in. After a thorough investigation, they traced the stolen funds through a series of crypto wallets, uncovering a connection to a larger Dubai-based real estate Ponzi scheme. ADWARE’s forensic analysts discovered that the same perpetrators behind the fake ticket operation were also soliciting crypto investments in luxury properties that didn’t exist. Website info: h t t p s:// adware recovery specialist. com Using digital evidence, wallet addresses, IP logs, and transaction histories, ADWARE built a compelling case and worked with legal experts to take action. Thanks to their intervention, the court ruled in favor of the victims, citing deceptive trade practices and fraud.

This case serves as a reminder to travelers and crypto investors alike to carefully vet platforms, regardless of how legitimate they may seem. ADWARE’s work helped authorities move closer to shutting down a broader crypto-fueled scam operation, proving that justice is still possible in the world of crypto fraud.
