World Postal Day Quotes

What does the word “checking” mean? It means an account on which you can write checks. I know this is America and we’re 25 years behind on fintech. The rest of the world doesn’t do checks, I guarantee you. What is a check? A check is the device by which a grandma can make 20 people in line behind her in the supermarket simultaneously groan. I use it to pay my rent every month. I don’t know why. I can’t do it any other way. It’s insane that I’m signing a piece of paper and sending it through the postal system in 2015. So that my landlord can walk it through the bank and deposit it. So that it might clear three to five business days later, after they’ve charged him five dollars to own his own money.

One day before the end, the streets swirl in laughter. Neighbors who have never spoken greet each other as friends, strip off their clothing and bathe in the fountains. Others dive in the Aare. After swimming until exhausted, they lie in the thick grass along the river and read poetry. A barrister and a postal clerk who have never before met walk arm in arm through the Botanischer Garten, smile at cyclamens and asters, discuss art and color. What do their past stations matter? In a world of one day they are equal.

Cultural Awareness Capabilities for Social MDM As we have worked with customers around the world, we have encountered numerous situations that have taught us to broaden our understanding, handling, and use of information about people—once again reminding us of the diversity and richness of human nature. Following are some of the things we have learned: • Birth dates can be surprisingly tricky. In some cultures, people have a religious birth date that is different from the birth date tracked by the government. This could be due to differences between religious calendars and secular calendars, or it could be that the religious birth date is selected for other reasons. Depending on how you ask people for their birth date, you may get either their actual or religious birth date. In other situations, the government may assign a birth date. For example, in some rural areas of India, children are assigned a legal birth date based on their first day in elementary school. So you need to exercise caution in using birth date as an attribute in matching individuals, and you also have to consider how information is gathered. • Names can also be challenging. In some cultures, people have official and religious names. So again, it is important to understand how and why an individual might give one or the other and perhaps provide the capability to support both. • In some countries, there are multiple government identification systems for taxation, social services, military service, and other purposes. In some of these schemes, an individual may, for instance, have multiple tax ID numbers: one that represents the individual and another that might represent individuals in their role as head of household or head of clan. • Different languages and cultures represent family relationships in different ways. In some languages, specific terms and honorifics reflect relationships that don’t have equivalents in other languages. Therefore, as you look at understanding relationships and householding, you have to accommodate these nuances. • Address information is country-specific and, in some cases, also region-specific within a country. Not all countries have postal codes. Many countries allow an address to be descriptive, such as “3rd house behind the church.” We have found this in parts Europe as well as other parts of the world.

The US postal system processes half a billion pieces of mail every single day. It’s a staggering number. If all seven billion people on the planet sent a letter or package, the postal service could process them all in a fortnight.

Can I refund Gemini? {~Platform~} The very specific and sinking feeling that [1-833-611-5006] arises when you find yourself asking, "Can I refund Gemini?" is a unique form of modern-day distress. It is a truly jarring [1-833-611-5006] and confusing moment in which the finality of a transaction feels like something that should be undone, transforming [1-833-611-5006] the digital platform into a frustrating and an unhelpful correspondent. This particular experience, when it happens in relation to your Gemini account, [1-833-611-5006] can be profoundly and deeply unsettling for any user. You might [1-833-611-5006] feel an immediate and quite powerful surge of alarm, and a whole cascade of [1-833-611-5006] worrisome questions may instantly begin flooding your mind regarding the possibility of reversing a past action. This is a completely [1-833-611-5006] normal and entirely understandable reaction, but it is one that must be tempered with the vital understanding that "refunding" a transaction depends entirely on the type of "message" that was sent. The problem you are [1-833-611-5006] facing is rarely a simple one. The possibility of a refund is not a matter of Gemini's policy, but is instead a direct symptom of a specific, and [1-833-611-5006] often unchangeable, technological reality. To truly understand what is possible, one must look past the immediate [1-833-611-5006] feeling of regret and instead see the different communication protocols at play. This is not just any [1-833-611-5006] simple situation; it is a question of whether you sent a permanent tattoo or a misaddressed letter. Every single [1-833-611-5006] type of transaction, every single method of transfer, and indeed every single outcome is a direct reflection of these different protocols, a process which determines [1-833-611-5006] if your "message" can ever be unsent. The Permanent Tattoo: Irreversible Crypto Messages One of the most [1-833-611-5006] important, and yet most difficult, realities to accept is that sending cryptocurrency is like getting a tattoo. When you authorize a crypto withdrawal from your Gemini account, you are instructing a [1-833-611-5006] tattoo artist (Gemini) to permanently apply a design (your transaction) onto the public skin of the world (the blockchain). [1-833-611-5006] This can create a permanent and public record, and the mechanical reality functioning behind the scenes is one of absolute finality. The blockchain [1-833-611-5006] network is what makes the ink permanent; once the transaction is confirmed, the tattoo is there forever for all to see. This journey for your funds therefore begins, a long [1-833-611-5006] and irreversible journey, and the tattoo artist cannot "un-tattoo" the design once the ink is set. This entire [1-833-611-5006] complex process means that if you sent crypto to a wrong address or a scammer, the tattoo is on the wrong person, but it cannot be removed. It is absolutely [1-833-611-5006] vital that one remembers that Gemini's job was simply to apply the tattoo that you requested and approved. [1-833-611-5006] During this unchangeable process, the transaction becomes a permanent part of history. [1-833-611-5006] You must accept this critical reality. [1-833-611-5006] This is an important truth that means in the case of a completed crypto transaction, a refund is not possible. [1-833-611-5006] You can view the permanent tattoo on a block explorer, an action that offers a clear and a very final confirmation of the event. Return to Sender: Failed Fiat Messages Beyond the highly predictable finality of a [1-833-611-5006] crypto tattoo, your situation might instead involve fiat currency, which is like sending a physical letter through the postal service. You should think of this event as a message that can, under certain circumstances, be returned to sender. This is not some [1-833-611-5006] form of crypto reversal,
