This is the generation where road accidents are increasing into a greater extend. The inefficient traffic rules, improper infrastructure and ignorant driving are the major reasons who have contributed this boost in the accidents. There are various things which help me pass test of driving ability. You'll want to first inside a school of motoring with experienced staff who can provide you with proper knowledge about the traffic rules. These individuals could also show you driving in many effective manner.
They fight to provide you with better driving skills to be able to enjoy excellent driving. Probably the most professional form of driving instructors can assist you in learning driving basic principles with a high end you will get confidence in driving traveling. But most individuals are averse to visit a Help me pass but they forget that it is critical to first learn to drive especially should you ask 'help me pass driving test'. Then it is up to you to use the skills that you have learnt and put it to use on the roads when you have passed the driving test. It is essential to be alert and vigilant on the road because accidents can happen as a result of the error of the other driver, even when you are driving right.
On the road, security and alertness is most important. At prominent driving schools that helps pupils who ask for help me pass driving test, they instruct beginners about roads that are unfamiliar in their city. They enable you to get acquainted with new roads and even the road map of the city you're learning it in.
By visiting a school of motoring, things i felt more useful is that you simply get acquainted with in regards to the layouts in the roads as well as the guidelines on road well. This can be one component that helps me pass driving test. When you are aware the guidelines then you can easily pass quality as well as it is possible to drive while travelling with better safety. You will find chances for that ones who don't be aware of rules well to ignore many of the signs and symbols which could leave these to accident. With assessed data and recognized injury hotspots, you'll be warned in advance about them.
This is not to frighten you but to make you vigilant about the roads. By taking a look at the GPS maps, you will be able to eventually become aware of the regions that require higher concentration when driving on those roads. Some of the roads might only have a bulge or two while others might contain a serious of sharp turns that may not be very visible from all angles. You might only have dents on the bumpers or be involved in a serious injury if you do not pay attention. Bad weather adds to the low visibility especially if you're driving during the nighttime. When you visit a driving school they can offer you information regarding those areas which less complicated accident prone.
Such warnings can help you in staying beyond danger when you find yourself driving. Additionally they supply the tips to use right then and there of test of driving ability. That is another thing that helps me pass driving test. The professional drivers inside the school of motoring makes you recognize about the call to be vigilant on roads. You can create use of GPS to find other locations which are very likely to accidents. You are able to make yourself safe with this.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
14 Dec 2012 11:11 GMT | Business & Economy, US & Canada, Bermuda, United Kingdom, United States
US corporations avoid paying billions of dollars in tax by moving money offshore.
Earlier this week Google was found to have avoided paying $2bn in tax by channelling $9.8bn from international subsidiaries into Bermuda, which has no corporate income tax.
"This [tax avoidance] is probably the biggest issue facing governments over the next century, not counting climate change. Whether or not states across the globe can continue to fund themselves as we continue to have this yawning inequality, these corporate profits and executive profits if they can move them around, and governments can't capture them then it's a real problem."
- Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief for The Huffington Post
The practice is perfectly legal, and Eric Schmidt, the company's chairman told Bloomberg that he was proud of Google's tax structure.Numerous corporations use tax havens but a US senate committee investigation found that five of the top 10 companies with the biggest offshore cash balances are in the technology sector.These include Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft, who shifted $21bn offshore between 2009 and 2011.It is estimated that offshore tax avoidance costs the US government $150bn annually, and at a time when Washington is fixated on the debate over the so-called fiscal cliff, there seems to be little political will to address the problem.This contrasts to attitudes in Europe.
When it was revealed how little tax companies including Starbucks and Amazon have paid in the UK, there was a public outcry and parliamentary hearings were held.
Tax evasion costs the EU about $1.3 trillion a year. It has drawn up an action plan to try and claw back at least some of the revenue being lost.
"There's a risk also if you try and change the [tax] rules in a way that is significantly adverse to the interests of these large companies that they will not just be shifting dollars around but they'll be shifting jobs around."
- Eric Savitz, the San Francisco bureau chief for Forbes
The European Commission wants member states to create a tax haven blacklist and adopt anti-tax abuse rules.Bermuda and the Cayman Islands are well-known tax havens.In this episode of Inside Story Americas we ask: Can tax avoidance be stopped?Joining the discussion with presenter Kimberly Halkett are guests: Eric Savitz, the San Francisco bureau chief for Forbes magazine; Nicole Tichon, the executive director of Tax Justice Network USA; and Ryan Grim, the Washington bureau chief for The Huffington Post.Google declined Al Jazeera's invitation for a representative to join the panel discussion.
"The problem is, we need to change the system. We need the government to finally take this on. This is something that is going on all over the world, it's this race to the bottom on taxation. It's not companies competing with other companies, its governments competing with each other."
Nicole Tichon, the executive director of Tax Justice Network USA

Saturdays: Even if you believe you cannot remember yoga poses without being told what to do, you will be amazed by how much you will enjoy giving yourself an opportunity to arrive on your mat in our warm beautiful space. You will love the energy of practicing with others in this quiet, beautiful setting. Please join us 10:30 a.m. to noon for open studio practice.

I can help connect anybody who might like to carpool - just let me know. Write: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yoga for individuals and groups, with Cathy Guest: Please contact me to discuss ways to incorporate yoga and meditation practices in your daily life. I have experience and training in working with youth, families, individuals with a variety of health issues, yoga teacher training, general strength-building, and developing better fitness strategies.

Kickstart This!
12:27 PM gamer girl , KickStarter , women in comic , women in gaming No comments
Chainmail Bikini is another Kickstarter project that doesn't actually need your help but still deserves your attention.
Chainmail Bikini is an anthology of comics by and about female gamers! 40 cartoonists have contributed 200+ pages of all new stories about the games they're passionate about—from video games to table-top role-playing to collectible card games. Help us pay for the printing costs and reward the artists by pre-ordering the book!
|Potential $100 reward: character image by Kori Michele Handwerker
I absolutely love this project! In one fell swoop, you can support two causes near and dear to the hearts of all of us: women in gaming and women in comics!
The comics in Chainmail Bikini explore the real-life impact of entering a fantasy world, how games can connect us with each other and teach us about ourselves. Alliances are forged, dice get rolled, and dragons get slain! We believe that gaming should be open to all, regardless of gender. Chainmail Bikini shows that while women are not always the target market for gaming, they are a vital and thoroughly engaged part of it, and are eager to express their personal take as players, makers, and critics of games.
|Potential $100 reward: character image by Molly Ostertag
Gaming is such an integral part of my life. I cannot imagine going any serious length of time without playing some kind of game, whether it be just a quick puzzle game on my phone, leveling up my Redguard Nightblade in ESO, or checking in with my Descent crew.
I also love that their stretch goals aren't for more amazing stuff, but instead will go toward paying the artist over and above the original fees. How cool is that?
So do yourself a favor and consider supporting this project. You'll be helping promote a positive view of women in gaming, and you'll be supporting these great artists! Plus, you'll get an awesome new book! What could be better than that?

TV Night - Madam Secretary
3:17 PM SRPS TV Night , women in politics , women in the media No comments
So, here starts a new semi-regular blog series wherein I discuss my favorite shows, one at a time, not necessarily in any kind of order or even in a timely fashion.
So, I know I've already raved about Madam Secretary in another post, but it's such a great show and well worth a closer look (and a longer rave).
Just some of the things I love about this show, with no spoilers for those who aren't caught up:

Weekend Reading
12:53 PM feminism , longreads , women in literature , women in science , women in sports No comments
|Norman Garstin, In A Cottage By The Sea, 1887
Here we are at another weekend! I'm so excited because I've found loads of great stuff to share with you. We've got two very different stories about women in sports, showing how different prevailing attitudes can have dramatically different effects. There's a beautiful piece about the amazing Jane Goodall. And Linda Holmes of NPR goes in-depth in trying to understand the fascination with the Cinderella story and how each new re-telling tells us more about ourselves than it does about the actual princess. Then there's a piece about how a science academic writing a romance about a science academic taught her more about herself and her colleagues than she had expected. And finally, a wonderful conversation between two of my favorite modern feminists!
So let's dive right in!

Regardless of how you feel about the sport of boxing, you have to admit it takes a special kind of bravery to get into the ring for one round, much less to try and make a career out of it. And women boxers have to have the most bravery of all -- not just to face their opponents, but to face the uphill battle of winning over coaches, promoters and the public. Kate Jenkins' piece for The Atlantic, The Real Knockouts of Women's Boxing, digs deep into the life of one boxer trying to make it, and the battle that switches between foes of blatant sexism and cool indifference.
That's exactly what today's women fighters are doing: staying light on their feet, waiting for the perfect opening. They're struggling to maintain their balance and their sanity. Nelson has found hers in God, and she keeps training, keeps delivering pancakes, with the faith that her dedication will give way to an answer. If she could eat title belts, Nelson wouldn't have a care in the world. But undefeated or not, there's no clear strategy for turning her athletic success into financial success just yet.
Meanwhile, Douglas struggles to keep her anger from controlling her. She once thought boxing could help her overcome a past filled with abuse and foster homes, but after she debuted as a pro, a bad experience with a promoter left her jaded. "They told me, 'You need to change the way you dress, you need to put on makeup, do this, do that,'" she says. "They were trying to change everything about me, and I wasn't having it." The promoter also dragged her out to nightclubs, where they'd hang around with wealthy men who frequently propositioned Douglas, implying that they'd take sex in exchange for financial support. "It really used to bother me. I used to cry. Now I'm like, 'How 'bout I break your jaw?'"
|Courtney Force greeting her fans. Photo: NHRA
Tony Fabrizio's great piece in ESPNW, How the Success of Women Drivers in NHRA Engages, Inspires Fans, shows that if nowhere else in racing, at least in the NHRA there are excellent opportunities for women racers, which is fueling the overall success of the brand, as well as attracting whole new segments of the population to the races.
Anecdotally, though, anyone can clearly see a difference in the NHRA pits and grandstands.
"The women are out there," [Gary] Darcy said. "The young girls are out there. And when you see somebody like a Courtney Force, a Leah Pritchett, both boys and girls are paying attention, but certainly you see the young girls and the moms that are there trying to get a glimpse. Because it does become very inspirational, and they see somebody doing what they could maybe do one day.
"That's the great thing about our sport. Those barriers don't exist."
Paul Tullis' article Jane Goodall Is Still Wild at Heart is as amazing as you would want it to be. Last summer he traveled with her to visit her old research facilities in Gombe, making note of her interactions with tourists and officials alike, and perfectly capturing this remarkable woman's talent for patience and determination.
You think you know the Cinderella story, but do you really? I love Linda Holmes, and this piece she wrote for NPR, A Girl, A Shoe, A Prince: The Endlessly Evolving Cinderella, is just plain brilliant. In it, she discusses the background of the Cinderella story and its variations from around the globe, and why it still has such a powerful hold over our imaginations.
But if her interactions with government officials from the United States, France, Tanzania and Burundi, as well as executives from Silicon Valley, are any indication, the skill sets are not so different: patience, purpose, perception. It took her only a few months of observing chimps before Goodall noticed that some of their behaviors were remarkably similar to those of humans. Now, perhaps, it has come full circle: Her understanding of people has been informed by her time spent with chimps, giving her an intuitive power of persuasion that even she does not seem to consciously grasp.
|Photo: Disney
The actual Cinderella tale, while a nebulous thing that can be hard to pin down with precision, is more than that. There's very little that's common to every variant of the story, but in general, you have a mistreated young woman, forced to do menial work, either cast out or unloved by her family. She has an opportunity to marry well and escape her situation, but she gets that chance only after being mistaken for a higher-status person, so she has to get the man who may marry her to recognize her in her low-status form, which often happens either via a shoe that fits or some kind of food that she prepares.fantastic guest post over at Tenure, She Wrote, Physicist T.K. Flor writes about her experience writing her novel Initial Conditions, about a female scientist pursuing a career in academia, and the problems so many women in that world face.
For me is was very valuable. It gave me a broader view about professional compromises and personal choices. Moreover, a novel-length format provides something unique: it gives the readers (and the writer) an opportunity to experience the situations emotionally. One can then get a richer impression of what is going on and what kinds of pressures a woman-scientist feels, and what drives those around her. It is such understanding, rather than any practical advice, that may help women in science.Oh yes! You absolutely have to watch this conversation between Tavi Gevinson, founder and editor in chief of Rookie Magazine, and Anna Holmes, founder of Jezebel.

Kickstart This!
3:51 PM KickStarter , young women No comments
Girls Driving for a Difference! These amazing young women from Stanford will be crossing the U.S. to share the concepts behind the design thinking process with young girls with the hope of empowering them as leaders of social change.
It's super important that we teach young people the skills they'll need to function in society -- math, science, coding, writing, etc. But the thing that is so often forgotten is the idea of learning leadership skills, which is the key to affecting real and lasting change.
I love that each girl who takes part in this project will come up with an idea to improve her community, and then learn HOW to do it. I'm more than a little jealous that something like this didn't exist when I was a kid. Not only will this help these future leaders build the skills they'll need, but it also inspires them to look around and recognize what needs to be addressed, and empowers them to actually do something about it. How wonderful is that?
We believe that instead of asking kids what they want to be when they grow up, we should be asking them, "What kind of change do you want to create in the world, and how can you start achieving that dream today?"

interview with Sally Le Page that I posted on social media last week. While this isn't the first time I'd heard of her, I realized that while I had been watching some of her videos, I wasn't following her on any social media channels. Oops!
So I fixed that straight away. And went and binge watched pretty much every video she's made. She's so great at making science talk not just interesting, but down right funny!
You should also be following her! Check out her own stuff on Google+, Twitter, and YouTube. And then be sure to check out her new Creator-in-Residence videos on GE's YouTube channel!

Science communication is a big part of my life as in my opinion, there's absolutely no point doing science if no-one hears about it and can use it.So true!

The Whale Shark – 16 Interesting Facts
Many divers come to the Galapagos hoping to see the whale shark.
And no wonder, it's huge and docile.
Who would not want to swim with a gigantic harmless fish? It would be amazing! And while it is on the list of Galapagos animals that you can see while diving, it isn't a common sighting.
Here is a list of some of the things that make the whale shark so unique and interesting.
16 Interesting Facts About The Whale Shark
The whale shark …
- is the worlds largest fish, growing to over 12.65 meters (40 ft)
- weighs over 30 metric tons (66,000 lb)
- eats mostly plankton
- is a filter-feeder, sucking water in through it's mouth then pushing it out through the gills. Whatever food (anything exceeding 2-3 mm) is left, gets swallowed
- lives to over 70 years
- reaches sexual maturity at 30
- is found in tropical and warm oceans
- has pale yellow or white stripes and dots in a checker pattern all over it's grey back
- is docile and at times playful with divers
- likes to live alone, groups have very rarely been seen
- lives in open water
- usually swims and feeds near the top of the water
- has thick skin, up to 4 inches (10 cm) thick
- swims slowly at about 3 mph (5 kph)
- has a really big mouth, up to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) wide with 10 filter pads and around 350 rows of tiny teeth
- gives birth to live young
Don't Get Too Close
While the whale shark is docile, it can be slightly dangerous, so it's wise to keep a safe distance.
There have been reports of people almost being sucked into it's huge mouth, by mistake of course. And of people getting hit because of swimming to close to it's powerful tail. The whale shark is so large that encounters like these could lead to serious injury.
Have you ever swam with a whale shark? Please tell us about it by commenting on this post.

My name is Katie and I am only thirteen years old and have been snorkeling with whale sharks in La Paz, Mexico. It was probably the greatest experience of my entire life. The sharks did not seem dangerous at all and acted as if we weren't even there. I never felt scared or threatened by the shark and had a lot of fun. Best day of my life! Totally recommended to ALL!

I would love to swim with them!

Don"t let love make you fat & Digestion tips.
Posted Feb 15 2010 9:09am
Love has no Calories....
Perfect timing, you've just finished hunkering down on a valentines binge of chocolates, alcohol and cinnamon hearts and I'm going to lay the how to maintain a healthy body weight. or perhaps you're a valentines hater so you've just finished a 40 oz of vodka to drown your heart breaking blues -either way the middle of february is a perfect time to start thinking about bathing suit weather or just generally being naked.
The Naked Test
So you tell yourself you like your body, in fact you're happy with where you're at. Great. Except that I don't actually believe you. Ok. maybe i believe 3 of you. But generally we can manage to grin and bear our dressed body but the naked one can be harder. So if you want to focus on feeling good and looking good. Take a look at yourself naked - and i don't mean running from the shower to the linen closet. I mean walk around the house slowly without covering all your bits. How does that feel?
I want it to feel good. Look - none of us our perfect, we all have something we hate - some of us have a few, but the amazing thing is when you start eating right, moving more and really following through you start to look difference and it actually shows. Sexy people are not perfect in fact it often has more to do with confidence and how they carry themselves. French women are a perfect example; stunning most of them simply because they embrace themselves.
The Next Habit for the Ass Backwards Diet will be back next week
but this week we're looking at a series of habits that are will keep you ass small or at least the size you want it to be.
I could lie and tell you it's all about feeling good and loving yourself but the truth is I find it hard to love myself when I'm eating a donut and have a huge belly. That's me - and you need to figure out what works for you.
The Gun To The Head Theory
The other thing is I never have clients come to me and say " I want to feel healthy." Nope hasn't happened yet. What I get 9 times out of 10 is I'm fat and I don't like it. Vanity is much more motivating than avoiding ailments. It's amazing what kind of sickness people will let them have if they look okay. They may have chronic diarrhea for years but hey if they look good it can't be that big of a problem....
the gun to the head theory is that people won't do anything to change how they look or feel unless they feel they have to, ie. they boyfriend will leave them, they'll lose their job or they might die. Seriously we're that stubborn with our habits.
So here goes nothing.
These are the I don't want to be ugly rules I live by:
1. Calories are a pain in the ass to count. Portions matter. Grains or carbs is what people are getting fat on. Nobody gets fat eating too many vegetables. So 1/2 cup of pasta, rice, cereal is a serving. And no you won't starve to death. You just think you need more than you really do.
2. Eat something fresh at each meal. Banana on cereal, salad at lunch, broccoli with dinner. You get the picture. Think colorful fruit and vegetable.
3. Drink you minimum of 8 cups of water a day. Everyday. Not just when you feel like it or when you run out of coffee.
4. The Apple rule - if you think you're hungry and you won't eat an apple than you're having an emotional eating attack. Have an apple or use some fricking self control.
5. If you ever hear your silent voice saying, "Just one more bite, or just one more piece, or one more cookie...." You need to shut it down. Tell yourself to shut up.
6. Eat your fricking fracking breakfast. Don't skip it - if you do you will be not only fat eventually but exhausted and well just generally stupid. In fact breakfast or lunch should be your biggest meal of the day. have a good to great breakfast, a good to great lunch and then a smaller salad or smoothie for dinner. you'll lose weight and you'll feel better. If you are trying to lose weight
DO NOT have your biggest meal for dinner.
7. Move every day. Yeah i know you know this but i know most of you haven't taken it to heart yet. And walking at a snail pace doesn't count. I want heart pounding, blood pumping, sweat inducing movement. Do it 5-7 times a day and you will look like a rock star, do it 3-4 times a week and you'll totally notice the difference in a few weeks. Do it less than that you might as well do a tour of the fridge for your exercise - because you're wasting your time.
8. Avoid any baked good that you haven't baked. Why? store bought are full of crap and this also means you won't eat them very often unless you are a baking freak. If you are baking freak limit it to 3 items a week.
9. Have a vice that doesn't involve calories or losing money. Don't take up online gambling because you're trying to avoid eating a bag of cheetos. When I started hard core working out again in Australia (a few years back) my vice was watching the professional footy boys doing their workout while I was working out. In a word yummy. Gosh eye candy can be very motivating. Now of course my motivation is creating world peace and helping insects keep their natural habitats....I've evolved.
10. Get naked on a regular basis - See it all come back to this. If you're planning on having someone see you naked on a regular basis you're more likely to make and keep the effort up. If you aren't planning on it than pretend you are and make them really demanding. I'd like to think people will do this for themselves but the fear of being alone and gross seems to be a much better motivator.
11. Do weights or calisthenics. Get off the treadmill and push your body weight around doing pull ups, push ups, sit ups and the plank. Use weights. The more muscle mass you have the higher your metabolic rate and the harder your ass will be. You'll be bouncing quarters off it in no time.
Get Rid of the Bloat
I've had a few people who have digestion issues so here are some tips that also help with breaking down your food in a more efficient way and getting more nutrients out of your food.
Firstly if you're experiencing gas or bloating after a meal it could be a variety of issues - hard to get specific to cause when I'm speaking generally
but some rules of thumb
1. Notice what makes you bloated - top contenders for bloat are beans, meat, and carbs. If it's always a specific food than it may just be that you are low in that specific enzyme ie. for milk it would be lactase or beans are a common one, if you don't eat them frequently, products like Beano (which are enzymes do work). It can also be food intolerances - but that is less common.
2. Don't drink water during your meals. It doesn't help with digestion. Have your water 1/2 before or well after your meal.
3. My favorite recommendation for people who are experiencing bloating after meals are the following:
a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
about 10 minutes before you start your meal - it works wonders, or my total favorite have
Swedish bitters.
These items have been used for ages and they really work, they ca be found at your local health food store. They get your digestive juices flowing and get everything primed so that when you eat the process goes much more smoothly and digestion happens as it should. You won't need to use these forever, usually a month does the trick and your body gets back on track.
So enough of the love bullshit, I know you've used it as an excuse to eat crap for the last three days. So find true love and go eat a banana naked.
have a happy ass week.

In September 2011, Natural England's Board confirmed that it would be recommending extensions to the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Park boundaries: the public now has six weeks to comment on the plans before Environment Secretary Caroline Spelman makes her final decision.
The public are now invited to make representations (whether to object, support or suggest amendments) on the proposals to extend the Park boundaries, directly to the Secretary of State by 16 March 2012. Having considered all the responses, she will then decide whether to confirm the Variation Orders, maps and boundary descriptions or whether to make modifications to the proposals.
In the Yorkshire Dales National Park the recommended changes relate to an area of approximately 418 square kilometres in Cumbria and Lancashire, in and around
In the Lake District National Park the recommended changes relate to an area of approximately 70 square kilometres in the Cumbria, in and around
The documents describing these proposals can be viewed online and at 18 locations in and around the project area until 16 March 2012.
Until 16 March 2012 there will be an opportunity for anyone wishing to make an objection or representation to the Orders to sent these in writing to:
Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs,
Protected Landscapes Team,
Zone 1/09, Temple Quay House,
2 The Square,
Temple Quay,
You can also support the campaign to extend the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales National Parks by filling in this online response, which sends a direct letter to Defra and a parallel letter to your MP.

You've picked out an adorable crib. Now it's time to find the right crib mattress to go in it. Like the rest of your baby furniture, you want your crib mattress to be the very best, and that means buying a firm mattress for your baby. When you're shopping for baby mattresses, your guideline should be "the firmer, the better." A firm baby mattress that fits your crib properly can help prevent injury and SIDS. Read the following tips to help you test crib mattress firmness to ensure the mattress you purchase is safe for your baby.
Interior: The main body of the crib mattress should be very firm to prevent SIDS. There are several types of baby mattresses, including foam crib mattresses and coil crib mattresses. No one style is better than the other, so you'll want to test the firmness yourself. Place one hand on the front of the mattress body and the other directly behind it on the other side of the mattress. Squeeze your hands together as hard as you can, compressing the mattress material. A firm crib mattress will spring back to shape as soon as you release your hands and should not hold the shape of your hands at all.
Edges: The outer edges of a baby crib mattress can be very dangerous if your baby rolls or stands on the edge. Test the edges of the baby mattress by placing your hands on either side of the edge and squeezing. Like the interior of the mattress, the edges should spring back into shape immediately. Test the corners in the same way as well by attempting to fold the corners over. A firm baby mattress should spring back into shape without leaving any creases or hand impressions.
Soft spots: Once you have tested the firmness of the body and edges of your baby crib mattress, you'll want to test it for soft spots in the construction. Place the mattress on a flat, hard surface and run your hands over it while applying firm pressure. Turn the mattress over and repeat on the other side. Make sure there aren't any soft spots where the crib mattress gives way under the pressure of your hands. A good, firm baby mattress will not have any soft spots.
In the crib: After you have placed the baby mattress in the crib, check the edges to make sure they fit snugly in the crib without any space where a baby could get trapped. Test the edges and corners of a firm crib mattress by pressing on them to make sure they don't sink down next to the bars of the crib. Having firm edges and corners will further help prevent your baby from becoming trapped between the mattress and the bars.

All well!
Nice guests!
Alexander et ses frères ont été des hôtes parfaits, respectueux de l'appartement et de l'environnement. Je suis prête à le recevoir à nouveau!
Alexander was a very nice guest, excellent and easy communication before and also during the stay, he left the apartment spotless, i can highly recommend him
Alex was a a very easy-going and yet very respectful guest. He spent many nights at my place, and although we hardly met each other due to our different agendas, I had the best impression of him. I would host him anytime again - or suggest him to any other airbnb-host!
Alexander and his two brothers has been great guests. Not only they left the apartment in perfect conditions but they fixed a light that was broken. Fantastic! Once a year they are travelling together, and you, as a Airbnb host, will be lucky if they choose your place. I higly recommend them!
Perfect guest on arrival and during the stay. The apartment was in best conditions when he leaved and we realized for some details that he is used to travel and take care of the place where he has been living for some days.

A10 Networks and Reticorp Sign Partnership to Co-Develop "Identity-Aware" Network Security Technologies
RetiCorp Incorporates A10's IP-to-ID Resolution Feature Into Its Powerful Network Forensics System
SAN JOSE, CA, Oct. 18, 2006 - A10 Networks™ and RetiCorp, a leading maker of network forensics products, announced today that they have signed a technology partnership through which RetiCorp will offer A10 Networks' IP address-to-Identity (IP-to-ID™) resolution technology as one of the standout new features of its RetiVista network forensics system. The RetiVista system analyzes, audits and records vast amounts of network data and application content without packet loss, and allows replay of selected content during forensic analysis.
Instant IP to Identity Resolution with A10 Networks' IP-to-ID Service
A10 Networks' IP-to-ID Service provides fast and automated identity resolution for virtually any application that requires the correlation of user identity to IP or MAC addresses. The integration of A10's automated identity forensic capabilities into the RetiVista platform allows Reti to continue offering a unique value to its customers around the world, by arming them with instant access to identity information and accelerating forensic troubleshooting. Previously, resolving network activity, or IP or MAC addresses, to the actual user identity required manual correlation--literally hunting through thousands of DHCP, DNS, or domain controller log events - which could add many minutes and sometimes hours to the forensic process, and leave networks vulnerable to infection or attack.
By automating user identity tracking and instantly tying network activity back to the identity of the end user, the RetiVista platform now streamlines troubleshooting and quarantine efforts and delivers powerful auditing capabilities for regulatory compliance. This appliance-based solution enables scalable, cost-effective user tracking and reporting for network optimization and security, without requiring software agents or other services.
"IT managers have been waiting for identity solutions that make their jobs easier, reduce network complexity, and improve reporting and auditing of critical network events," said James Lin, CTO of RetiCorp. "Integrating A10's IP-to-ID features into the RetiVista network forensics system will allow us to deliver just such a solution. Instant access to identity information, combined with our forensics capabilities and strong policy enforcement will help our customers streamline their IT processes, harden defenses, and achieve compliance much easier."
"Reti and A10 Networks are providing new generation network tools with A10's industry-leading IP-to-ID technology," said Lee Chen, CEO of A10 Networks. "With the corporate network becoming less secure, automated identity resolution is long overdue. Automated identity forensic capabilities will improve the way IT engineers resolve security and network problems and we will continue to work with industry-leading companies like Reti to bring this capability to enterprises of all sizes."
About RetiCorp
RetiCorp, inventor of USM (Unified Security Management) products, provides the latest technology to secure businesses against emerging threats. USM, the third generation of network security appliances, goes a step beyond traditional UTM (Unified Threat Management) systems by not only protecting networks against viruses and attacks, but also preventing improper network usage by enforcing user accountability. RetiCorp was established by a team of network experts from the U.S. and Taiwan with a mission to promote better security practices and to provide advanced and cost-effective security solutions. The company has R&D facilities in Silicon Valley and Taipei; as well as sales offices worldwide.
About A10 Networks
A10 Networks was founded in 2004 with a mission to create a new class of affordable, identity-aware network solutions, including the industry's first "Smart" identity management system. A10 Network's solutions help businesses and government increase efficiency and agility, address regulatory compliance and security risks while reducing the complexity and costs of managing global networks. A10 Network's products unify critical identity and access management functions with networking and security to offer network administrators centralized management and unparalleled visibility into network activity. A10 Networks is a well-financed, privately held company headquartered in San Jose. For more information, visit www.a10networks.com.

School divides life into two segments, which are increasingly of comparable length. As much as anything else, schooling implies custodial care for persons who are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple fact that a school has been built to serve them.(Ivan Illich (b. 1926), Austrian-born U.S. theologian, author. Celebration of Awareness, ch. 8 (1969).)More quotations from: Ivan Illich, school, life
'Our Life teach us thousand of lessons that can never be learned in school & college.'(#LOVE #LIFE #PAIN)More quotations from: SWETA LEENA PANDA
'The livelihood of every man is a farm of harvest from each other school of taught'.(life)More quotations from: AMADU KAMARA
The aim of any business school's to teach the swindler of the fool.(Mark R. Elias)More quotations from: Mark R. Elias
You are a shameless, husband-hunting by-product of six of the most expensive finishing schools in the Western Hemisphere.(Tom Waldman (d. 1985), screenwriter, and Frank Waldman (d. 1990), U.S. screenwriter.

Many, many moons ago, back when I was young and dumb, I attended a hippie music festival with Andy. Everything – everything – was legal in that place (or at least was overlooked by the rent-a-cops in attendance) except one thing – nitrous.
There was no nitrous allowed.
The security guards searched cars – not for drugs, mind you, because if they searched for drugs and you didn't have any they'd probably try to give them to you – but for nitrous tanks.
No nitrous! That shit'll kill you.
However, one group of hippies managed to get their nitrous tank past the fuzz and into the camp grounds, and in the middle of the afternoon Andy, our friends and I were sitting near our tent minding our own business (not doing drugs, for the record. I read Sweet Valley High – Regina Morrow's fatal overdose scarred me for life, thankyouverymuch). Ahem. As I was saying. So all the sudden we hear this loud boom and a handful of hippies started rolling out of one tent, running for their lives. Their nitrous tank had exploded. BUT – for every hippie that fled the scene, there were four more hippies running in the direction of the explosion. Dozens of hippies crawling around on their hands and knees, furiously sniffing at the cloud of nitrous that was quickly disappearing into thin air.
At the time, I looked on them the same way I looked at all hippies with disgust. For shame, for shame. Breaking the rules, risking their lives doing DRUGS. Someone needed to call Nancy Reagan stat.
Fast forward to today, when I innocently walked into my dentist office for a crown and walked out two hours later as a drug enthusiast.
The dental assistant, kind soul that she was, asked me if I'd like some nitrous with my novocaine, and after determining that yes, I'd be safe to drive, I told her to hook me up. I'd never had the stuff before, but OMG people, I wanted to take it home with me! They could have sawed my jaw off and I couldn't have cared less. I just wanted to keep huffing the laughing gas. $500 for a two-hour procedure suddenly seemed like a bargain. Man, that was good stuff.
So, hippies I looked down upon all those years ago – I get it now. I totally get it. The next time a tank explodes, I'll be right there with ya.
But you still need a shower.

Panthers GM 'absolutely' sees a spot for Tim Thomas next season
More NHL: Scores | Standings | League Leaders | Odds | Injuries | Power Rankings
We take a break from your regularly scheduled Olympic programming to talk a little NHL for a moment and a goalie who has been mentioned in possible trade speculation.
Panthers goalie Tim Thomas came back to the NHL this season with Florida on a one-year contract. He has had a few injury issues with a wonky groin but all in all, he's been pretty good for the Panthers. Not great, but pretty good.
Given where the Panthers are as an organization (still rebuilding), his age, contract status and performance, questions arose whether Thomas would remain a Panther through this season. He expressed some interest as he said he has enjoyed himself but neither he nor the team would publicly say they were willing to commit.
Until Friday. Panthers GM Dale Tallon wouldn't mind having Thomas back beyond this season at all.
#FlaPanthers Dale Tallon said he and Tim Thomas had a good talk a few days back; Thomas 'absolutely' has a future here past this season.— George Richards (@GeorgeRichards) February 14, 2014
Tallon didn't stop there, though. He said he's interested in keeping a few of his veterans around.
#FlaPanthers Tallon won't commit to being a seller at deadline despite 13 pt hole; says UFAs Boyes, TT, Gilbert & Winchester could return— George Richards (@GeorgeRichards) February 14, 2014
While each player has shown plenty of merit (Tom Gilbert in particular has been good) it seems a somewhat curious decision to keep together a group that is near the bottom of the NHL again this season. But they're still growing as an organization so those veterans are important to have.
Plus, you have to wonder how much any of them would get in a trade return. The Panthers believe they have the foundation in the organization at this point, they're just waiting for them to mature. So picks probably aren't that appealing, especially in a down draft class.
What remains to be seen is if Thomas will reciprocate the interest from Tallon (and the other UFAs to be) and if that changes plans but right now it's shaping up to be a quiet deadline for a team that would normally be a seller.

Victoria's Secret Buys Advertising For 2008 Superbowl
After an eight-year hiatus from Super Bowl advertising, Victoria's Secret will run a 30-second ad featuring Adriana Lima during the game's second half. I'm someone who's in love with her DVR because it means less commercials, but the Super Bowl is one time that I actually don't mind ads because they're usually pretty creative and funny.
It's no wonder the lingerie company is reuniting their Angel's skin with pigskin. Victoria's Secret's sales have been down and the last time they ran a Super Bowl spot, 1.2 million people visited its website before the game had a winner. Oh, and let's not forget Valentine's Day is just around the corner!
Besides suffering sales, the company is facing increased competition. There's a new slew of hot bods following the as-much-skin-as-possible formula that is Abercrombie and Fitch. A and F's new concept is called Gilly Hicks, and its landing page reads: "Are you old enough? Our site shows a lot of skin. Therefore, you must be at least 18-years-old to enter this site."
Besides its younger shoppers, I'm not sure that Victoria's Secret has much to worry about in terms of lacy competition from Gilly Hicks. However, Victoria's Secret has its defense up with new and old competition alike. Jill Beraud, chief marketing officer of Victoria's Secret, talked about their gameplan when she said,"The more we see promotions out there, the more we believe we need to continue to build our brand and reinforce the notion of what is sexy."

Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin 370.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin is a man on a mission – to hold the record for
serving in that position for more years than anyone else.He only needs
three more years to beat Yosef Sprinzak (1949-1959) and Kadish Luz (1959-1969).
Unlike the two Mapai Knesset speakers, Rivlin had a break in the middle, while
the Likud was in the opposition.While Rivlin has never hidden his
aspiration to be elected president, he's focusing on the task at hand: keeping
his high spot on the Likud's list for the 19th Knesset so he can be re-appointed
as speaker.As such, Rivlin has stepped back into the political fray, and
has plenty to say this week about trends within his own party – like groups
pulling the Likud to the Right, or MKs baiting their Arab counterparts – and
others – such as convicted criminals returning to politics, recruiting "stars"
for party lists and using gimmicks to get press.You've already been
Knesset speaker twice. Isn't it time to give someone else a turn?I don't hide
the fact that I want to continue being Knesset speaker. I am committed to keep
improving the Knesset, and I have made that known and clear.[Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu] offered me a ministerial position at the beginning
of the 18th Knesset, and I chose to be speaker.What about your
presidential ambitions? President Shimon Peres's term ends in July 2014 – do you
plan to run?In 2007, Netanyahu asked me to run against Peres for president to
make the Likud look relevant, despite the fact that we have 12 seats. If the
Likud still thinks I'm a good candidate and people in the Knesset want me to be
president, then I think it's a very good job.When president Yitzhak
Ben-Tzvi was reelected [in 1957], my father [Yosef Yoel Rivlin] was supposed to
run. I think he deserved it, but Ben-Tzvi was elected. If you're chosen, that
means the Knesset wants you. Of course, I'm not talking about anyone
specific.At the moment, though, the most pressing thing is to be elected
to the 19th Knesset and serve a third term as speaker. It's not just about the
record; I believe there is a value to me continuing as speaker, and I believe it
will happen.In the Knesset, I can make reforms happen according to my
own world view and without pressure from one person or another. I didn't even
participate in most Likud faction meetings. I tried not to be part of the
political process, although, at the same time, I am one of 120 MKs. I am still a
politician who needs to be elected, so I have to have a message.Do you
think your efforts to stay out of politics could hurt you in the primary? For
example, some Likud MKs are trying to disqualify MK Haneen Zoabi (Balad) from
running in the current election, but you have said she has a right to be in the
Knesset.This is really a legal issue. [Arab MKs] were chosen by Israeli
citizens according to law, and these are their representatives.The
people who were elected have to serve their supporters who sent them to the
Knesset – as long as that service is within the law.The minute an MK
enters the Knesset, he has full immunity. Otherwise, everyone will throw each
other out, and we won't have any MKs left. The Knesset cannot judge its own
members; we have an attorney- general for that. He must decide if Arab MKs'
behavior on national security or interests broke the law. Are they inciting or
committing treason? The attorney-general decides.Nobody really thinks they'll successfully kick Arabs out of the Knesset. They
just know that's what voters want to hear – so they act in a way that opposes
democracy.I don't want to name names, but the MKs who do this must know
that their actions have an opposite effect. If there are petitions against
Zoabi, she then goes to her voters and says "look, they want to get rid of me,
not MK Ahmed Tibi [UAL-Ta'al] or MK Muhammad Barakei [Hadash], because I really
represent you." These attempts to remove MKs improve them in their voters' eyes.
In every Knesset, the extremist camps argue with each other. It's not a good
thing, but the extreme sides balance each other out.Do you think there's
a problem with an extremist side pushing Likud to the Right?There will always
be fanatics. They never choose me, and I'm glad they don't.Likud is a
party of intellectual pluralism.Not everyone is a follower of [Likud
ideological forbear] Ze'ev Jabotinsky. Some people like Jabotinsky but are more
pragmatic, like Intelligence Agencies Minister Dan Meridor. It is important that
he is there on one side, and I don't want to say who is on the
other.Likud is a political home with a supermarket of thought, but the
consensus that unites us is the Land of Israel. We are a whole that is bigger
than its parts.The right-wing elements in Likud care about the Land of
Israel – but I wonder if they can protect it as well as I do. [Rivlin points to
a painting in his office.] This picture of Jabotinsky says "Zion is totally
ours." I am sure that no lover of the Land of Israel would not choose me to be
in the next Knesset.My stances are so clear that [Manhigut Yehudit
leader] Moshe Feiglin's people tried to get me to sign a paper that says I will
protect the Land of Israel before the 17th Knesset. I said, "If you want me to
sign, that means you don't trust me." Other MKs signed Feiglin's paper, and then
went to Kadima, which is for splitting the Land.They need to elect
people based on ideology.Maybe they think I'm too democratic, but I am
democratic without losing a drop of my faith. I love Israel not because I hate
others, but because this is my Land. My family wasn't brought here 203 years ago
by threats, but by the faith that Israel must return to its land. I will never
lose my democratic views; they are totally connected to the Jewish state, which
cannot exist without democracy.Do you think changing the system of
government would protect democracy?Changing the system of government is just an
election slogan. We can't run a country with such a pluralist society without a
parliamentary democracy, because we don't have a constitution. The reason we
don't have a constitution is because we are Jewish and democratic. Arabs oppose
a constitution that would say it's Jewish, because they say a democracy is a
state of all its citizens.Haredim say if Israel is a Jewish state, the
laws must come from Halacha [Jewish law], from their rabbis.One rule
that needs to be changed is that the leader of the party with the most votes
should be prime minister. If one party gets 31 seats and the other 30, the one
with 31 should form the government. This will bring people back to voting for an
ideology and not a sector.In the past, people voted Left or Right – or
right or wrong. People wanted to help their sector, but they put the country
first, and chose [prime ministers] Menachem Begin or David Ben-Gurion. If the
law requires the leader of the biggest party to be prime minister, people will
think before voting.Now, anyone on the Right can get away with giving a
vote to a sectorial party because they said they would support Netanyahu after
the election. Then people wonder – who are these hooligans who got into the
Knesset?Well, who are the hooligans who got into the Knesset? This has been an
action-packed Knesset with water-throwing, deodorant-spraying and other
interesting activities.I had high hopes and expectations for the new MKs
in the 18th Knesset. I hoped they would raise the Knesset's status in the
public's eyes. Nevertheless, people with excellent credentials – army officers,
senior bureaucrats, police officers, Shin Bet [Israel Security Agency] agents,
members of the press – but instead of improving the Knesset, they stooped to the
level that puts it in a negative light.After 25 years in the Knesset, I
know that passing a law is hard work, takes a long time and doesn't always
succeed. People don't take the time because they know if they use a gimmick
they'll get headlines.I don't blame the press because they write the
truth – but they could emphasize positive things. MKs think, "Why work, I'll
just find a gimmick!" We need an ethical code to tell MKs they cannot get away
with what they're doing; they're not just embarrassing themselves, but the whole
Knesset.Every citizen should tell parties they will not vote for them if
they have bad candidates on their list.What about politicians who
already exhibited bad behavior, like Shas leader Arye Deri or former prime
minister Ehud Olmert, who were convicted of crimes?People ask if politicians
who committed crimes can come back to the Knesset. The law allows it. The law is
that someone who paid his debt to society can come back, but there are public
norms and legal norms.If the law allows a politician to return after
being convicted of a crime, it is up to the public to decide if they should vote
for him or not.The Knesset, which is responsible for the connection
between the public and its representatives, needs to hold a deep discussion next
term on the norms and the law.We must ask: Does the moral norm match the
law?A lot of new political "stars" are being introduced in this election. What
advice would you give them before starting work at the Knesset?First of all, I
hope all the new MKs will keep their integrity as they did in their work until
this point. Mayors, security officials, people who led a group shouldn't change
their character. There have been a lot of professors in the Knesset, and some
were bored and suffered, but others excelled.I hope they know that the
main job of the Knesset is to legislate and supervise government activities, not
just being a minister or prime minister. Many of them will be very disappointed
when they aren't immediately made ministers. If they're lucky and their party
helps form the government, they can be ministers, but they were elected first
and foremost to be MKs. If you disrespect the Knesset, you are disrespecting the
public.The Knesset chooses the prime minister, the judicial selection
committee, and authorizes laws. Without the Knesset, the government cannot pass
a budget and would have to go to elections. We have arguments that take place in
every home in Israel, but we make the decisions in the end. The Oslo Accords
were approved by one vote.Begin was in the opposition for 29 years
before he became prime minister. It is very important to become prime minister
from the opposition. Netanyahu was much better this time, because he was the
opposition leader before. Only a responsible opposition leader can be a very
good prime minister.
