We should declare a day without "Superior gadgets" I'm Not saying Gadgets are a bad thing, as we can't go without them in our era but the need to count on them 24/7 - to do everything for us - contribute partially or completely to us wasting away our brain & body

When I'm hiking or cycle touring, I'm gadget free and definitely not missing them. If I'm out for the afternoon or evening, I don't even bring my cell phone. Even out doing astronomy I'm operating pretty tech free (other than the mount). But at work and home I'm often tethered to the tech.

It seems we are heading toward a Space Extravaganza at the world Assembly. We have a chance to repeal "World Space Administration", which our region objected to begin with, which half the delegations on the approved list have voted for - just 5 days ago. Then we have in the Queue: "Forward to a New Moon Landing" which sounds like another - legislation -disaster waiting to happen. I'm of course in "shock" there isn't any legislation in the baking section for "Space Cake"

It seems someone is doing some WA profiteering for their region building via resolutions. It's been done before and will likely be done again. If it brings a new region with some energy to the game then at least there's something, even if it's a crass way to go about it. Still, I'm opposed to the resolutions themselves. It's still really not condemn worthy though, as some in the Security Council seem to feel.

Totally random returning comment, but with all the talk about space, have you guys seen that the Smithsonian is kickstarting a campaign to preserve Neil Armstrong's Apollo suit? It's such an unbelievable shame that funds cannot be found from the many tax dollars we pay, but regardless it is still hugely important that it is funded. Although it appears it's going to reach its goal soon, I figure if you don't you might want to know about this...

I was honestly surprised when it was reported that it wasn't already in a museum. The Apollo 8 commander's suit was probably thrown into an incinerator when he came back, after getting a nasty flu at the White House, but if you're not going to put the suit worn by Armstrong in a museum than you might not have a grasp of this whole curator thing.

I think that that's the longest stretch of time we've ever had without a market report category being shown (20 days).

This is Truly a disgrace that Wysteria Embassy in Texas had to wait soo long to get the Economy report.

Its our Bread and butter during social events

We have learned during our almost 2 years of Term in Texas, that Texans are like Crows. They tend to be fascinated by shinny or big objects...

So....

When our Diplomats are being struck - during a party - by a boring conversion, they pull out The Grendels Market report as a weapon.

Gispaccio, in particular, should banned by edict, and masticators of such food stuff should be stoned to death.

Man, I would be so stoned...

My God! Our political advisers warned us about genocidal nations out there. Next thing you know someone will suggest cooking us with chicken!

I feel like I entered the Ice age with the 3 months of no Cross Regional Games activity.

That’s almost as bad as 20 days without a market report! ;>)

No worries. I was on a holiday in Sri Lanka.

Good to hear. I thought you might have given up on the new world census analytics and their savagery against the rankings. Especially after losing Cosmovania and Sdaeriji right after they saw years of issue answering messed up by the change.

We are pleased that The World Space Agency legislation was repealed.
It would otherwise be confusing both legally and by using its name, when our region already have a WSA.

The WSA stands for World Space Agency? I thought it stood for World Spice Agency.

Herzil, I must say the Embassy & Consulate photos look great.

I recognized the Embassy building you chose for us - its from Rothschild Blvd. - The Russian Embassy. We almost bought an apartment near it several years ago,
when my husband had a fantasy about living in TLV (luckily he returned to his senses).

but I have no idea as to our nation consulate image?!

Well, at least you mixed some buildings from 4 cities.
although it wasn't so hard to figure out the stone ones :)

I've decided to go one step forward and do a so called map of the nation but my free time is too little that any recommendation will be great (for an easy free to use map tool)

Fish or No Fish, it sure smells FISHY as if someone is trying to "rock the boat" with your Economical Reports!!!

I would have ordered an investigation.
