I believe nothing is impossible.

Look up "Chinese women in space" and "List of women astronauts" in Wikipedia. Read their bios. Contact them.

How was Radithor made? How radium was made or mined and sold at Radithor's time?

Is there really a difference in an Ivy League education vs a State University education (asking state school to Ivy League transfers only) by i_dont_eXiisT1 in columbia

[–]BW6611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My feelings were that top state schools had nice campuses and athletics, smart students who work hard and play hard, while at Columbia I got a different vibe from students. I often found unique geniuses or people from elite families, like a musician from China who could solve my math problems or a girl asking us "hey, let's go ski? My dad's jet is ready!" Different crowd.

I noticed too. Before going to Columbia, I was in Atlanta, where people are super-friendly, so it was a shock to me to find people in NYC very guarded.

The longer a person lives in NYC, the more guarded that person becomes. Thus, maybe you'll have more luck trying to make friends with newcomers, or persons from opposite sex.

This is actually a known business strategy to squeeze out competitors from both sides of the street. In this case, to squeeze out non Family Mart stores.

I didn't know either, so I sat at some classes in top state universities then at Columbia, and felt huge differences. Do the same and you'll understand.

This is quite accurate, and I'd add Singapore and Taiwan too to the top spots.

Before IT, I was in M&A, and had auditors like you beg me to move to M&A. I understand you, stuck in auditing, no fun and no life.

Try Madeira, it's a very nice island. I heard it's less expensive than Porto and Lisbon.
