German army racist video row

So here we go again... Another racist issue, another racist video... Will people ever change?
I am writing here about international news from Sat 14 April on BBC website "German army in 'racist video' row".
We read about some of the methods instructors teach the soldiers in the army. The African-Americans in the Bronx, are used as targets of hate and aggression by the soldiers and their instructor. And involving or creating the feelings of hate and anger the soldiers has here psychological aim...but will it ever go away?

I am not surprised that New York officials are a bit angry..and demand an apology...but will it be enough? Are the soldiers going to apologize and get back to the training using different nation as their target..? All these men on the training are supposed to swear, fire their gun to their "target practice".
Obviously we all know that feeling of anger and danger brings extra power to a human being, however why direct or teach to hate one particular nation..?

Have heard many controversial stories about my country's army (the Polish army), it seems clear now that military officials face difficult task of fighting with racism and it is probably all around the world...
Now a group of 18 German army instructors are on trial accused of abusing and humiliating recruits during training in 2004. However, the video comes from July 2006.

So we are the second generation?

This time I am going to write a few words about 'Web 2.0', a phase used by 'O'Reilly Media' in 2004. According to Tim O'Reilly, the establisher of O'Reilly Media, Web 2.0 is another step in transformation of World Wide Web. A quick evolution of Internet systems and developing social networking have made a great impact on the Internet itself and as Mr Reilly notices "new exciting sites and application pop up with surprising regularity." In that way a new business model of Web 2.0 was designed.

There are some characteristic points about Web 2.0 like: "the web as a platform" where the standart bearer is Google.
In terms of other "changes" from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 O'Reilly notify:
Double Click (from Web 1.0) to Google AdSense (Web 2.0), mp3.com to Napster, Britannica Online to Wikipedia, personal websites to blogging, page views to cost per click.
You can find out more about Web 2.0 from O'Reilly's website by clicking here.

I just have come across a blog that I had a chance of viewing some time ago... It's "The Policeman's Blog". The writer for this blog is David Copperfield, I suppose so, as there is no section "about me" or I couldn't find it. Mr Copperfield seems to be one of these people who are not afraid to speak aloud (or write "aloud")...what he thinks.
The coppers blog expect provides many comments from an ordinary life of a policeman, as well as huge section of different links to US Police blogs, Police Chefs blogs, Military blogs and so on the list is incredible...so you can find out a lot about different jobs and what they are about.
It would be probably a very useful site (or one of favourites) for someone who works or is interested in this kind of industry.
There is also a possibility to order a couple of books by Mr Copperfield or may be use "All UK Police Jobs" link - an add by Google. All of this possible on the blog as well as finding some alternative answers for current issues like "What's the answer to crime?" - "Chop their hands off", and yes we know that IS what you wanted to say Mr. Copperfield...

Give me some fuel!

As many of you may know... I am one of the lucky people to work at a petrol garage and believe me... there is a lot of funny situations to be able to see... most of them funny, some of them scary...There is one I qualify as...funny.
PS. Obviously did not mean to offence any of female drivers etc, in fact it's men who make the most of funny mistakes! have fun!

Hello everybody!
It's been quite a break from posting quite recently...I have been visiting (quite frequently) a nice website, some of you may have heard of: reed.co.uk
The site is very useful if you have to or need to find a job...like I have to do right now.
The design is very straight forward and it's really easy to find the categories you you are interested in and may be able to get a job. Actually, I've been surprised that site is so well organised and you can find all sort of permanent, temp, full and part-time jobs.
All you have to do is to sign up with Reed and upload your CV onto the site. If you wanna apply for a position - simply click on it. The descriptions are usually very good. Then you have a chance to write on-line covering letter, Reeds also does the spelling-check for you - so don't worry! You also get an email sent to you with a confirmation that your application has been sent to the organisation you applied for.
Reed.co.uk is definitely a useful website, however it takes ages for the organisations you sent your application to email you back...so you end up waiting a looong time before they sent you the common letter: "Thank you for applying for... unfortunately...." Yeah OK, does it really take so long to let you know?

Looking for anything great to do for the summer? What about some of this year's festivals? There is a lot to see...
Also a small map of what & where... have fun!
