Review. Daily Free Ebooks

My birthday gift last year was a Kindle. There was nothing on it, so I decided to ennoble it by searching and buying books to build up a pocket library. After hundreds of euros spent on junk books, I discovered Daily Free Ebooks. The best thing about this website is that you can download free Kindle books every single day. There is a wide variety of categories you can pick from as this is a one-stop shop for cook books, mystery, thrillers, non-fiction, parenting or personal development. Each book comes with a presentation and five-star review system. You can read tens of reviews if you  ...

One billion people have an active account on Facebook. That’s almost every seventh person on Earth. *Video: bloomberg game changers: mark zuckerberg Apparently neither Facebook nor Zuckerberg need any publicity other than what’s been shown in the Oscar-winning movie The Social Network.  But after watching a documentary that starts with “My name is Barack Obama and I’m the guy who’s got Mark to wear a jacket and tie,” you just wonder: how far can things go? Bloomberg’s Game Changers episode dedicated to Mark Zuckerberg starts with an alert? two-minute prologue in which you get exposed to  ...

Visa for life

Exceptionally, 13 can turn into a lucky number. Michael King talks about his latest documentary and what he thinks diplomats should do to make  the world a better place.  In 2007, the Emmy-awarded movie director Michael King spent one month at Yad Vashem, the World Centre for Holocaust Research in Jerusalem. Doing his research in a place that represents the darkest time in history was one of his most sobering, emotional and thought-provoking life experiences, he says. Just like any other Yad Vashem visitor, Michael was surrounded by young Israeli soldiers with guns who did the same:  ...

Rezultatele incontestabile ale unei evaluări cu semne de întrebare

Înainte de a intra cu copilul de cinci ani în sală, Daniel D. era emoţionat şi speriat pentru că nu ştia ce înseamnă evaluarea psihosomatică a preşcolarilor. Fetiţa lui, pe care abia o luase de la grădiniţă, era obosită şi voia să meargă acasă, să se culce. Când a ieşit de la evaluare, Daniel D. avea în mână fişa cu acceptul pentru înscrierea în grupa 0, iar fetiţa – care abia aştepta lecţia de balet de după somn – a pierdut 15% din scorul total pentru că nu a identificat vizual anotimpurile şi nu a ştiut să enumere zilele săptămânii. Probabil că şi Daniel D., şi ceilalţi părinţi ar fi  ...

Cronica unor ghete (ne)purtate

Berlin, octombrie 2011 – Reducerile la încălţămintea şi îmbrăcămintea de iarnă sunt nesemnificative. Cu toate astea, nemţii se aliniază la raioanele de specialitate şi pipăie doar produse de calitate (Jack Wolfskin, McKinley, Mamut, Salomon etc). Şi foarte scumpe. Mie-mi trebuie nişte încălţări care să reziste atât la mocirlele din Bucureşti şi la gheaţa necurăţată de pe trotuare, cât şi la vântul de la munte. Eventual, să mă ţină vreo doi-trei ani. Nu caut o marcă anume, nu imaginea mă interesează, ci confortul şi sănătatea. Cu chiu, cu vai, mă las convinsă şi dau 80 de euro pe nişte  ...
