Intake Form2 Veteran Uci

I recently made a reservation online for Noma (noma - reservations). Here's an account of how I did it.  I live in New York, and will be visiting the area in May. I learned that reservations for May become available on 3 March, at 10am CET. That's 4am in New York. I had read an account by someone that they were able to make a reservation online, but had to refresh the page for 4 hours before they got into the system. So we figured out exactly which days we could go, and which times, and wrote them down in order of preference so that we wouldn't have to worry about thinking things through in the middle of the night. I went to sleep early and set my alarm for 3:55am. My boyfriend, who's more of a night person, chose to stay up late working on things. At about 3am he refreshed the reservations page and it said something like "You will be put in a queue. You're number XX" (I forget what number he was, but it was randomly assigned). He opened a couple different browsers, and 2 on my computer, each with different positions in the queue. One of mine was #175 - by far the farthest ahead in the line. (The next closest was in the 300s, and one of them was somewhere in the realm of 2000).  At 4am it changed slightly, reporting "You are #175. There are X people in front of you." It refreshed every 30 seconds or so with a revised number, and also gave me an estimate of when it would be my turn to enter the system. I was in by 4:15.  When it was my turn, I was able to select a date from the calendar. Our first choice of date (a Saturday) appeared to have seatings available for lunch, but by the time I entered my info, they were no longer available. Our second choice of date (a Friday) had seatings available, and I was able to lock it in more quickly because it had saved my contact details from the first attempt.  We were done in 5-10 minutes, but I was so excited about it, I couldn't go back to sleep until about 5am. Being randomly assigned a spot in the queue is much better than refreshing the browser for 4 hours. An additional note: This year Noma has added a shared table. While reservations for the regular restaurant tables are booked a couple months in advance, the shared table is booked only a few weeks in advance. This may make it easier for some people to make a more spontaneous plan to go to Noma.

I live in Germany. I got an invite to the Quora partner program the day I landed in USA for a business trip. So from what I understand, irrespective of the number of views on your answers, there is some additional eligibility criteria for you to even get an email invite.If you read the terms of service, point 1 states:Eligibility. You must be located in the United States to participate in this Program. If you are a Quora employee, you are eligible to participate and earn up to a maximum of $200 USD a month. You also agree to be bound by the Platform Terms (https://www.quora.com/about/tos) as a condition of participation.Again, if you check the FAQ section:How can other people I know .participate?The program is invite-only at this time, but we intend to open it up to more people as time goes on.So my guess is that Quora is currently targeting people based out of USA, who are active on Quora, may or may not be answering questions frequently ( I have not answered questions frequently in the past year or so) and have a certain number of consistent answer views.Edit 1: Thanks to @Anita Scotch, I got to know that the Quora partner program is now available for other countries too. Copying Anuta’s comment here:If you reside in one of the Countries, The Quora Partner Program is active in, you are eligible to participate in the program.” ( I read more will be added, at some point, but here are the countries, currently eligible at this writing,) U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy and Australia.11/14/2018Edit 2 : Here is the latest list of countries with 3 new additions eligible for the Quora Partner program:U.S., Japan, Germany, Spain, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, India and Brazil.Thanks to Monoswita Rez for informing me about this update.

The only qualification to being a veteran is to have served in a branch of the military. No combat or deployments required and it doesn't matter what the status. If you served for a day, technically you're a veteran.Now if you mean “protected” veteran, a term the government uses, the soldier must have completed their time in service honorably. This is what gives job preference and benefits.

If possible, I would search out your local triathlon club.  Usually, the local clubs have meetings for beginners and experienced triathletes to provide help and guidance.

I can’t speak for others, but personally, I definitely put down that I was a Navy veteran who was stationed at Yokosuka for 7 years and currently a member of the Legion of Foreign Wars. My father also served in Japan. As a matter of fact, he was injured seriously in the Korean War and spent one year in Japan rehabilitating. And of course, I’ve heard war stories from my Japanese mother. I would consider myself an outlier.For me, it’s definitely not taboo. I make it a habit of talking to Japanese students about the military, especially those who are thinking of joining the Japanese military. There are students who are actually military buffs and love talking about World War II. Just go to any bookstore and you can find many magazines and books about the military. I always enjoy sharing my experiences with the Navy in Japan during the Cold War. My favorite is talking about how we would carry nuclear weapons into port while the Japanese government and U.S. Navy was denying that. That former secret has been declassified and can be found in the public domain. I served on the Midway which is now a ship museum in San Diego. In other words, I’ve created a legend for myself with the military here in Japan. As Japan faces more danger from countries like North Korea, I feel a responsibility to pass on my personal stories to help them hold discussions about whether or not Japan should militarize. I just want to help them to engage in critical thinking about a very serious topic. I’ve had a Japanese social studies teacher ask me to talk about my experiences to the class. It would be a shame to sweep it under the rug as a foreigner.I guess it comes down to this. How comfortable are you with talking about the military to the Japanese? I am very comfortable. But as I mentioned earlier, you don’t find many Japanese-Americans with my kind of military experiences in Japan.I could keep going but I think you get the message so I’ll stop for now.
