What do you do if you arrive in a foreign country via sailboat?
Suppose I sail from USA to Greenland or Europe or maybe Aruba in a large private sailboat... When I get there and tie up at the dock, where would I go, what would I do to be within the law, as far as immigration is concerned...without to enter the country illegally? I would of course have a passport and any other necessary paperwork/identification they might would want to see...for example the title to my boat etc.. Would I even make it to the land before being stopped by some kind of navy or police first? Would I get into trouble? Would they want to search my boat if I did make it to land without being stopped and walked to an immigration office or something? Would they be mad if I did not call ahead? Do most mariners call ahead before just sailing to another country to let them know they are coming and ask for instructions for how to sail into their waters/country?? How is this situation normally handled by countries when it comes to mariners entering their country legally? Do you call ahead and let them know you are sailing to them before doing so? What is the normal course of action one should take to be prudent if he has plans to sail from his home country to another country? Thank you in advance, Perry in Florida
Muslims how many Islamic countries are prepared to permit nudity?
I don't think they will have much of a choice soon many countries are banning the Burqa since Sarcosy or whatever his name is put forward a proposal to ban it in france a while back. So far this is what i know: France: Banning it Spain: Banned Turkey: Banned (this is a muslim country) Brussels: Banned Italy: Banned under a different law but it is still illegal. UK: Requested to be banned by the people (recently) Syria: Just banned it. read here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnew... It seems that many countries are likely to follow suit. I personaly think the face should be seen in western society in public or public buildings, however then you have the issue of the western values "freedom of expression" and so the agrument goes on.
What do you do at cross country tryouts?
I don't think you'll have to worry to much about it; normally we don't have official tryouts unless there are a lot of people going out for the team. I'd ask your coach if I were you to make sure, but most coaches will probably have you do a warm up and maybe a 5k time trial, just to see where you're at. Just make sure you have a good work ethic and show that you're willing to improve and become a better runner!
Does the Mail Run on Sunday in Other Countries?
in most countries the mail service runs 24/7 but only deliver six or five and a half days a week , no one knows why but it's probably the unions even the private companies like fedex and UPS don't deliver on sundays when everyone is at home rather than work , no mail service has yet worked out that working people are in in the morning and evening while businesses are occupied during the day
When the Arabian Peninsula oil runs out, will those countries become poor again? It seems to me they will have nothing to sell.
Mostly, yes. And it might not take as long as the oil running out.They will become poor because they, mostly, aren't learning to work for a living. And they won't be able to underwrite their loans with oil wells.Some of them are attempting to diversify their economy, but they aren't modernising their culture. China, Japan and Singapore are the gold standard in doing this. It's not easy. Oil countries have barely started on this, with a couple of notable exceptions. When you see them doing their own housework, building their own buildings and driving their own Hyundai, you can see they have adjusted to a post oil reality. No matter how much money you have, if you spend more than you earn, you will run out of money one day.Even those that are doing well at preparing need to factor in the the higher interest rates they will pay when their national asset is not underwriting the risk.Now for the bad news. Banks are running away from new coal mines at the moment. They know that in the next few years, free (renewable) energy will be cheaper than coal in most countries. It won't be worth replacing an old coal-burning power plant in most countries. Mines and plants run for decades, but their business model doesn't, economically. If Elon Musk and the EU have anything to do with it, and they do, oil will be the next fossil fuel to be uninvestable. Long before it run out supply will greatly exceed demand due to a bunch of business trends and technologies. Oil will still have value, but nothing like it does today. The aviation industry is insufficient to bankroll the corrupt oil dictatorships with their inefficient governments.Revolution and angry neighbors will make the leaders’ stolen wealth flee if the leaders themselves aren't dead. Ask a Libyan.Hopefully all of the oil nations will find a way. But I feel it's too late for some of them to take the Asian path to modernism. At least a couple may have the skilled leaders, and luck, to make it. I hope so.
