Non fiction: The Hundred-Year Marathon, by Michael Pillsbury. A very nice review of China's foreign and domestic policy, written by a retired, senior national security advisor to various (USA) Presidents from Nixon on. He was the China

Not much space you have there. But, you have a bed. I suggest trying wrestling! It sounds funny, but it can be a serious workout. I mean the Greco Roman style. You don't have to stand. Your bed can be the limits(boundaries.) It's

That is a very well written and interesting story. Reading it reminds me of various stories I heard, first hand from POWs - (Prisoners of War - in German prison camps during WW II.) How everyone was fairly healthy after a year or more, of

Sorry. I see it doesn't go to that detail. I usually use TripAdvisor when traveling, and appreciate the reviews - which don't have a vested interest as far as I can see. Possibly it isn't detailed enough for big cities with l

From a another post on this page, someone recommended to look at Metabox. I never heard of them. I just looked over their site. Some very very cool options. Been in business a long time. https://www.metabox.com.au/ I&#x27

That green ring sounds cool. Conference groups, where one tries to enter a group, but doesn't know anyone in it, are one the biggest challenges of a conference. If you could simulate open shoulders, closed shoulders, that would be a w

A fun way to learn more about the original mathematicians involved in cracking the codes and later creating the cyclometers, is to see the movie "Battle of Warsaw 1920". It is a wild movie about the Polish Russia war. There is a g
