In Rare Compromise, Turkey ‘Pauses’ Gas Exploration Near Greece After EU & US Pressure
The Turkish gas and oil exploration drama in the East Mediterranean which put Greece and Cyprus on a war footing with Turkish forces has taken a surprise turn.
Amid the ratcheting pressure on Ankara over alleged incursions into Greece and Cyprus’ economic zones coming from the European Union and United States, it appears Turkey has backed down for now.
Days ago France’s Emmanuel Macron even invoked the threat of EU sanctions, citing that it’s “not acceptable for the maritime space of a European Union member state to be violated or threatened.” Turkey has frequently been source of rifts among fellow NATO member states.
US Mail
Is SUPPOSED to be routed by Zip Codes. Some mail is bar-coded with it. Most manual mail has be be ‘keyed in’ by a worker. My local destination zip code has a ‘7’ as the middle of five numbers. The Guam destination is similar with a ‘9’ as the middle number. So I can see how it could be misread by a hurried worker. But it happened twice from two different areas of the midwest where they went astray.
Computers? Easy to blame, but…. “Garbage In, Garbage Out” is a familiar phrase in computer tech.

In California most the mail workers are either minorities with limited vocabulary or immigrants now. Who knows, they may see PA “ Philadelphia “ as Pasadena in Calif like a teen might for all we know lol Many of the Mail people of past have retired and heard it’s getting crazier from my youngest mother in law retired couple years ago as a supervisor from the post office.
They should maybe have classes on it including for Europe.
The postal address are unfamiliar.
I ordered a coin from France years ago before the Euro exchange rate and they had to mail it twice as it was returned to them. If I remember rightly they left out California and just put United States or America or something on it the first time.
