I lived like this the first year of my postdoc and couldn't have been happier. I had 4 place settings but only used one and washed it after every meal. Desk, computer, one camp chair, and an inflatable mattress. Stayed that way until my wife joined me my second year and made me get a real apartment.

I read all of that and none of it made sense except the child soldiers part. And even then I'm not certain that you aren't being funny.

I didn't forget. I have no idea who this person is. Wikipedia lists some music and other business ventures but no controversies or social activism. A soldier for money?

Richard Dawkins coined the term in The Selfish Gene to describe a unit of culture in the same way that a morpheme is a unit of meaning, a phoneme is a unit of aural language, and a grapheme is a unit of writing.

Another short-term decision by America could lead to more long-term loss of wealth and influence.

It's for F, M, and J visas, not tourists. F visas are for academic students, M is for vocational/non-academic study, and J is for work/study programs. None of them are for immigration.

As was Last Vegas.

The creek is 3 feet wide in places and can dry up during dry seasons. The "lake" is 3 feet deep. The city was founded there because the governor owned land on the bald prairie, not the river valley where the fort and city already existed. Water is piped in from a lake several miles away.
