FACTOID #151: The five countries with the highest coffee consumption are also the five countries whose citizens trust one another the most. Coincidence? Probably.
Buhuşi is a town in Bacău county, eastern Romania with a population of 18,980 people (2002) Romania with Bacău county highlighted Bacău is a Romanian county (Judeţ) in the Moldovia region, with the capital city at Bacău (population: 210,042). ... 2002 is a common year starting on Tuesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
For three years, an organization of foreign volunteers - Lion's Roar - has been working to improve conditions for the animals, but its efforts often bump up against an apathy that many observers say is pervasive in Romanian society.
Buhusi's vice mayor, Vasile Zaharia, is not surprised.
Though his countrymen have the second-highest rate of enthusiasm (68 percent) for the EU across the continent, he himself isn't fond of all the new regulations brought on by joining.
Said Buhusi, "I would argue that time is more fundamental than space, because one can just close one's eyes and relive memories, going back in time; or prospectively go forward in time to predict something, without actually changing your position in space."
Thus, in essence, the entire brain is an intricate interval timing machine, in which individual structures busy with their own neural tasks, generate resonances that integrate to become ticks of the neural clock.
Meck, Buhusi and their clockwork colleagues are using an array of experimental techniques to try to identify this "baton" timing signal and to refine the theory.
