Quora: What is a job that exists only in your country?

Posted on by

“Tehran traffic authorities have introduced restrictions on the amount of cars on its roads in attempt to reduce congestion and pollution in Tehran downtown.  They did this by adopting odd-even traffic restriction on alternative days. Cars with number plates ending with odd numbers were restricted one day and the next day cars with number plates ending with even numbers were restricted.  Since they have started using traffic cameras to check the car plate numbers, a new strange job has formed. They get money from you before you approach the traffic camera and just walk behind your car while you drive slowly.”

31 Haunting Images of Abandoned Places That Give You Goose Bumps

Posted on by

“They say that the only permanent thing in the world is change. History books are one way to understand the passage of time, but there are also some real-life monuments that speak of the past in their own ways. Here’s a selection of some of the most ghostly abandoned places around the world, every single one of which has its own special charm. Beneath all the dust, rust and cracks, there are stories of people who used to live, pray, or take their daily train rides there, and when you try to imagine these people and their lives, each picture gets a special aura of nostalgia. It’s as if the people in these places just picked up and left.”

How To Get A Job Using A Google News Search

Posted on by

“Be sure that you are searching Google News and not Google Search itself. Reason being, Google News will give you recent results, whereas Google Search will give you a mix of old and new.  Now just in case the search I did confused you, let me break it down. I am asking Google News to search news stories that have the phrase ‘new role as’ somewhere in the article and one of the following words: executive, VP, director, CFO, CTO, chief or ‘head of.’ I don’t want results about Hollywood actors, coaches or sports stars which is why there is a minus sign in front of the words: sports, actor, actress and coach. So what next? Let me walk you through an example.”

Calvin & Hobbes Creator’s Life Lessons Become Beautiful New Comic

Posted on by

“As much as I’d have loved it if comic-creator Bill Watterson had kept working forever, there’s something bittersweet about the fact that Calvin & Hobbes is no more. While Calvin and his pet tiger may never go on a new adventure, we can continue to learn lessons from Watterson and his creations, as evidenced by this new comic by Zen Pencils artist Gavin Aung Than. The comic below is Than’s rendition of an excerpt from Bill Watterson’s 1990 speech at Kenyon College (site of David Foster Wallace’s famous ‘This Is Water’ speech, as it happens). It is just lovely. Read it, and prepare to feel emotions.”

Make A Foldable Mini-Spectrometer For Your Phone

Posted on by

“What we perceive as a single color consists of multiple blended colors- just as green paint can be made from mixing yellow and blue paint. A spectrometer is a device that splits light into the various colors it is composed of, which we otherwise cannot distinguish with the naked eye. By viewing a substance through a spectrometer, one can distinguish the exact mixture of colors, which correspond to specific wavelengths of light. These can be compared to other spectra to help identify the sample.”
