  • You can leave blank the fields that are optional, I have never filled the fax for any of my domains.

You don't say what TLD domain you are talking about but they are likely similar.



ICANN states the following:




When you register a domain name, you must give your registrar accurate
and reliable contact details, and correct and update them promptly if
there are any changes during the term of the registration period. This
obligation is part of your registration agreement with the registrar.



If you give wrong information on purpose, or don't update your
information promptly if there is a change, your domain name
registration may be suspended or even cancelled. This could also
happen if you don't respond to inquiries by your registrar if they
contact you about the accuracy of your contact information.




https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/whois-data-accuracy-2017-06-20-en




In the 2013 RAA, the Admin, Tech, and Registrant telephone numbers are each required to be present.




https://whois.icann.org/en/whoisars-validation-telephone



So the short answer to your question is no.

Long meetings (6-7 hours a day): Being “babysat” by supervisor

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 31 down vote favorite 4 I hold a PhD in mechanical engineering with a 7 year background in self-guided, self-paced research including 2 years as a graduate level course instructor and a subject matter expert for various engineering projects in a university setting in the United States. For the last 10-11 months, I am working in a research industry in France where my task is to debug C++ spaghetti code written over a period of several years by my current supervisor. It is a team of 2: just I and my supervisor. Diurnally, I am posed with a "bug of the day" to get out of this C++ code. My supervisor generally gives me about 15-30 minutes to solve it and then accosts me about whether or not the task is completed and then rinses and repeats this until the end of the day.

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of
