Many folks in Ireland have positive relationships with their neighbours, whether it's a nice wave on the street or a quick word when you run into each other, or even asking for a drop of milk.
However, not everyone is so fortunate, as scores of Irish homeowners reported that despite being in their homes for years, they have never spoken to their neighbours.
Taking to Reddit, one user said: "We had neighbours for 7 years that never spoke to us once. I mean our houses were literally attached.
"Even when we first moved in and said hello in passing, they'd just completely blank us.
"Continued like that for the entire time until they moved away. They were Irish like so it wasn't a language barrier or anything. Strange people."
The person went on to explain that the couple's children never seemed to have friends around, and that it wasn't just the parents who didn't seem to socialise with their peers.
They said: "They had kids and I noticed that not one single time did I see their kids interact with other children in the estate.
"The two of them would just play in the front garden with the gate locked."
Another shared a similar story, claiming that they had only spoken to their neighbour of nine years for the first time this year.They said: "I spoke to one of my neighbours of 9 years for the first time yesterday.
"I live in the countryside so this is really bad.
"Her husband helped me cut back my ditch a few weeks ago after he saw the chain on my chainsaw snapped.
"So I dropped over a bottle of Jameson for them yesterday and a couple of selection boxes for their kids (only to find out that their oldest is actually 15)."
A third person said an unlucky accident had brought them and their neighbours together.
They said: "I spoke to my neighbours for the first time in five years after the wife scratched my car pulling into her parking spot.
"She sent in the husband to tell me. Came out to check the damage and told them not to worry about it as it was only a scratch and I couldn't give a sh***.
"They dropped in a bottle of wine to say thanks and now we actually know their names and say hello and all that if we see each other out and about."
Others, though, were inspired by the post to share experiences of kind neighbours who went above and beyond to lend them a helping hand.
One user said: "I must've gotten really lucky with the neighbours I've had.
"I grew up in the countryside and the whole area was close knit, we knew each other well, went to each others weddings and parties and generally got on the best.
"At my current house were less close but still on good terms. If we meet each other at the wall we might have a small chat. She bakes the odd time and will drop over some queen cakes, and shes a bit older so I help her out with some things that are too physical like carrying in coal or putting down the bins."

Former Vice President Joe Biden and U.S. Senator Kamala Harris gesture on the second night of the second 2020 Democratic U.S. presidential debate in Detroit, Michigan, July 31, 2019. REUTERS/Lucas Jackson – HP1EF8102XZN7
U.S. senator, Kamala Harris, seized the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday night to advance her proposal for the suspension of President Donald Trump’s Twitter account.
Appearing alongside 11 other aspirants in the live television debate, Harris accused Trump of abusing the platform where he has over 65 million followers.
“Here we have Donald Trump, who has 65 million Twitter followers and is using that platform as the President of the United States to openly intimidate witnesses, to threaten witnesses and obstruct justice.
“He and his account should be taken down,’’ she said, adding that the Aug. 3 mass shooter in El Paso, Texas, was inspired by Trump’s hate tweet against Latinos.
As a matter of corporate responsibility, she argued, “Twitter should be held accountable, and made to take down that site; it is a matter of safety and corporate accountability’’.
The California senator was responding to a question on whether it was necessary to break up big tech companies like Facebook and Twitter over their use for election interference by foreign interests.
She said she was surprised that her rival, Sen. Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, opposed her idea of what should be the rules around corporate responsibility.
Harris said it was “grave injustice’’ for the social media accounts of ordinary people to be suspended over abuse, but those of powerful individuals like Trump were spared.
Warren responded saying, “I don’t just want to push Donald Trump off Twitter. I want to push him out of the White House. That’s our job.”
Harris disagreed, urging her to back the campaign for the president’s Twitter account to be shut down.
Also speaking on the subject, entrepreneur and philanthropist, Andrew Yang, said breaking up the tech companies would not solve the problem, and suggested the use of “21st century solutions’’.
Sen. Cory Booker (New Jersey), said American democracy was in “massive crisis’’ with the way the big tech companies were being used not only in anti-competitive practices but also in undermining the country’s democracy.

Booker said such practices used in the 2016 presidential election had not been corrected, and as president, he would pursue reform in America’s anti-trust laws.
The Russian government is accused of creating thousands of social media accounts to harm the campaign of the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton, in favour of Trump during the 2016 election.
This has triggered calls for the unbundling of the big tech companies to guard against their use in election interference.
However, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, warned that splitting up the companies would boost election interference because they would not be able to work together to fight it.

The delays have been prompted by concerns that a field consisting only of films released in 2020 would not be as broad or competitive as in previous years.
The tale of the wealthy Parks and the poor Kims became the first non-English language movie to win this year's Oscar for best picture, and three more, sparking debate over a growing social divide in Asia's fourth-largest economy.
The Oscars, which included performances by Janelle Monae and Eminem this year, reportedly took a ratings hit by 20 percent from a year ago, to an average TV audience of 23.6 million total viewers.
The 2020 Oscars ceremony takes place on Sunday in Los Angeles, the climax of Hollywood's awards season.
Hollywood has embraced diversity on-screen, but progress has been much slower off-screen.
The head of the French film academy Alain Terzian said it "should not take moral positions" about giving awards as Roman Polanski's new film "An Officer and a Spy" is up for 12 Cesars, the French equivalent of the Oscars.
Only Sony Pictures' "Little Women," an adaptation of the classic Louisa May Alcott novel by an all-female production team, broke the mold with its best picture nod.
Both the looks and the temperature were red-hot Sunday on the Emmys red carpet, where Hollywood's top stars battled the heat and humidity to bring their fashion A-game.
The fantasy television series has 14 contenders across seven categories for Sunday's award ceremony.
The group that hands out the Oscars said it had invited 842 new members from 59 countries including Lady Gaga, Sterling K Brown and Letitia Wright as the organization strives to further diversify in its ranks.
"Bohemian Rhapsody," ''A Star Is Born" and, most of all, "Black Panther" have all amassed huge sums in ticket sales. But just how many people have seen the film favoured to win best picture — Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" — remains unknown.
Oscars night is quickly approaching - and will be without a host for the first time in three decades. The prestigious ceremony has shown improvement in terms of nominating racially diverse films but has seen a decline in viewership in recent years.

The U.S. Department of State is pleased to announce the extension of the Memorandum of Understanding Between the Government of the United States of America and the Government of the Republic of El Salvador Concerning the Imposition of Import Restrictions on Certain Categories of Archaeological Material from the Pre-Hispanic Cultures of the Republic of El Salvador.
The U.S. Embassy in San Salvador and the Ministry of Foreign of Affairs of El Salvador exchanged diplomatic notes to extend the agreement and the Department of Homeland Security has published notification of the extended restrictions in the Federal Register
. By extending this agreement, the United States demonstrates its continued respect for the cultural heritage of El Salvador and concern for the irretrievable loss of information about human history.
Effective March 8, 2010, this extension represents a continuation of cooperation that began in 1995 when El Salvador requested assistance from the United States pursuant to Article 9 of the 1970 UNESCO Convention on the Means of Prohibiting and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of Cultural Property. Recognizing that certain of El Salvador’s heritage remains in jeopardy from pillage, the agreement enables the continued imposition of import restrictions on certain categories of archaeological material ranging in date from approximately 8000 B.C. to approximately 1550 A.D., including objects made of ceramic, metal, and stone. In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security recovered such material upon importation into the United States, including ceramic vessels and musical instruments dating to A.D. 300 to 900. These will be repatriated to Salvadoran authorities.
The agreement also calls upon both governments to encourage academic institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and other private entities to cooperate in the exchange of knowledge and information about the cultural patrimony of El Salvador, and to collaborate in its preservation and protection.
The Department of Homeland Security first published a Designated List of restricted categories of objects in the Federal Register
in March 1995. The restricted objects may legally enter the United States only if accompanied by an export permit issued by the Government of the Republic of El Salvador or documentation verifying the objects’ provenance prior to 1995, and if no other applicable U.S. laws are violated. The Designated List and information about the agreement are at http://exchanges.state.gov/heritage/culprop/esfact.html
The extension is consistent with recommendations of the Cultural Property Advisory Committee to the Department of State. The Committee is a presidentially appointed body established to make findings and recommendations to the Department on these matters.

Today, there are so many reasons for children to feel the pressure to perform during exams. Your child may want to get good marks so as to be eligible at a university of her choice. She may want to score well to keep peer pressure at bay. She may feel the pressure from within to perform well. Different children also have different development pace and she may actually intellectually be not fully capable of handling her current syllabus. But can you totally take away the pressure?
Probably not. But then can you help #ReleaseThePressure ? Definitely YES, by spending some light moments with her, by avoiding over-attention, by being a good listener and most importantly with your unconditional love.
Zuni Chopra, daughter of Anupama Chopra, penned down this compelling poem to create awareness around the pressure during exams. To pledge, visit www.releasethepressure.in. #ReleaseThePressure
The Mountain Range – by Zuni Chopra
Exams. The word is a boulder
Crushing, fierce, snowballing down
The steepest of hills
The sharpest of slopes
It reaches the greatest of heights –
Learning. Growing. Living.
When the climb grows treacherous
And fog smears the mountain’s peak
And climbing leads nowhere but thick grey mist
And falling leads nowhere but failure
When the pressure from the clouds, from the sun, from the hail
Grows too much for a climber to bear
A tent is thrown over the slicing winds
A sanctuary in the snowy tempest –
A warm meal from mother for dinner
A pat on the back from father
A giggle from a sibling
An air that does not hang heavy
With percentage, ranking, marks
But swirls playfully through the merry chatter
Suffused with hope, with dreams, with unconditional love
A Wonderland in the world of Exams
Releasing the pressure.
EXAMS. Exams. exams.
And the climber bursts out once more
With heart and courage and sight beyond the fog
The air pumping through their young lungs
The mountain no less a challenge
But now no longer a test of worth
Rather a journey of self-learning.
We ask all parents
Do not let the wind tear holes in your tent
Do not let dunes of snow trample down upon it
Do not let the mountain daunt those inside it
And trust that the mountain will soon be conquered
Only for the climber to look eagerly for another.

A demonstrator shows your future product for the first time in hardware form – be it an entire vehicle, an engine or a high-voltage battery. You get an initial impression at an early stage in the development process of the later result and can compare different options. On top of this, changes – such as to cable routing – are easier and quicker on the real-life object than they are in the virtual world with CAD programs.
In our workshop, our experienced team of engineers and technicians can construct vehicles and components and provide you with support right across the development process – through to the start of production and beyond. Thanks to our well-rehearsed processes and close cooperation with other IAV departments (such as for electronics, engines and calibration), we can offer you the full package starting with development support and ending with a roadworthy and approved demonstration vehicle. Our service portfolio also includes providing support in purchasing or modifying components.
Broad experience with hybrid and electric vehicles
Over recent years, we have gathered a wealth of expertise in numerous projects in the field of hybrid and electric vehicles and benefit from well-founded knowledge of the challenges posed by high-voltage safety. And we can also find the answers to unusual assignments, as can be seen from our long list of references – these also include demonstrators for combined heat-and-power plants and thermoelectric components.

The History of Ben Ezra Synagogue
Ben Ezra Synagogue “The Prayer-Place of the Jews” is sometimes called El-Geniza synagogue and it is located in old Cairo on the site where baby Moses was found. The storeroom of this synagogue was found in the 19th century and it contained a treasure of abandoned Hebrew, Aramaic and Judeo-Arabic secular in addition to some sacred manuscripts.
It was originally named El-Shamisen Church, and is situated today behind the “Hanging Church“. So from this point, we can say that Ben Ezra synagogue was a church and Jews bought it from Christians in 882 AD to pay the annual taxes to the Muslim rulers at that time. Abraham Ben Ezra was the one who bought the church from the Christians and he paid 20,000 dinars.
Ben Ezra Synagogue Open Time
Ben Ezra synagogue is open daily from 8 am to 4 pm as its function as a museum only for tourist. Through our Cairo city tour, you can discover Cairo’s Coptic, Jewish, Pharaonic, and Islamic traditions on a full-day cultural tour.

The Main Decorations of Ben Ezra Synagogue
The Geometrical Decoration: This decoration which dates back to the Turkish period can be seen on the sidewalls of the synagogue. It has patterns such as star patterns, pentagonal patterns, and rectangles.
Floral Decorations: These decorations were used as a background for the Geometrical patterns and they are also used in the Star of David in the ceiling of Ben Ezra synagogue. It includes floral patterns in addition to palmettos and a lotus flower.
The southeastern side of the Torah closet is decorated with stalactites and the frame of the Torah Ark is a mimic decoration and on each of the two sides are two wooden columns with geometrical patterns, which have stalactite capitals of the Ottoman period
The style of the carving on the Torah ark door is representative of the Mamluk Sultanate specifically during the 15th century. There is a medallion decorating the door designed with a motif common to the bookbinding of that period. The 15th-century fire in Ben Ezra synagogue damaged the bimah or pulpit. One plausible theory is that wood from the damaged bimah was repurposed to make a new door for the Torah ark. The synagogue was repaired and renovated in 1488.
Hidden Wonders are Waiting to Be Explored
