Italy's Tour of Lombardy was held without interruption except for 1943 and 1944. The Germans wanted normalcy in their occupied territories. France without the Tour wasn't normal. They asked Jacques Goddet to restart the Tour de France, offering to open the border between German-occupied France and Vichy France.
Intelligence and culture are two very distinct terms. Intelligence can be defined as a personâs cognitive abilities to learn. It is also associated with school performance, IQ, logic, abstract thought, self-awareness, emotional knowledge, memory, planning, creativity, and problem solving.
The definition I like is that intelligence is the ability to learn or understand or to deal with new or trying situations ... also : the skilled use of reason (7)*. I have heard some people misuse the word smart to mean knowledgeable. That is like confusing velocity with distance.
