How to find out about training / volunteering stages / other educational forms financed by the European Union (Erasmus+)?
In the article below, I list some of the solutions you have if you want to take part to a training / volunteering stages / other means of education financed by the European Union. I took part to 6 trainings like these (2 in Romania, then one in Serbia, Germany, Turkey, Ireland), and to other various smaller projects. I greatly enjoyed them. I also know some people who did volunteering via EVS. Below some information on things like these.

The Hustler (1961) – very good movie! (for three reasons – inner fights / fight to be better than the system / well made script)
I just saw The Hustler (1961) for the second time. I actually saw the main scenes of the movie quite a few times during the past years, I liked reseeing the movie quite a bit. (note!) Spoilers ahead, don’t read the review unless you already saw the movie (note!) Some thoughts? The movie is intensely psychological. On the surface, it’s a movie on fights & winning. But the inner fights, the inner struggles are much deeper and are quite interesting to see. Some conflicts to see: Eddie Felson (Paul Newman), the main character, and his wish to win. Eddie Felson and his wish to beat his condition. Eddie Felson and his wish to never settle for something small. Eddie Felson and his fight with the systems (he is insubordinate, he always fights). Eddie Felson and his fight with being better. Eddie Felson and his fight with its vices (drinking). Eddie Felson and his fight of being the successful capitalist, rather than the unsuccessful socialist (there’s a fight with other people, who prefer people to be equal one to the other; he develops his skills, others want to drag him down). Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason), the already-proved champion, and his fight to always succeed. Minnesota Fats and his fight to be a kind person, nevertheless. Sarah Packard (Piper Laurie), Eddie’s girl, and her fight to have a fulfilled life. Sarah Packard and her fears of the unknown. Sarah Packard and her fears of not being loved. Bert Gordon (George C. Scott), the bad guy, and his fight to succeed. Bert Gordon and his fight to make life more exciting, his appetite for the …

How to travel and visit a new country like a PRO?
I see people saying things like:
- I’ve visited 100 countries, most of them for less than 2 days! (my reaction – facepalm)
- Next month I’ll go and visit 8 countries in Asia! (my reaction – facepalm)
- There’s this low-cost airline company who just created a new route to Paris! (facepalm)
- Last year, I saw both the statue of Christ the Redeemer and the Eiffel Tower. (facepalm)
- I’ll go with some friends to the seaside! We’ll sunbathe in the day and spend the nights in a tent. (half-face-palm)
- I’ll go with some friends to the mountains! It’s useful for health and bonding. (half-face-palm)

Despre tastare
Când întrebi oamenii – cum să îmi îmbunătățesc performanța la PC, mulți se vor lega de monitor. Unii de viteza calculatorului și procesor. Alții de eficiența proprie (scurtături de tastare, utilitare).
Vin, însă, în articolul de față, cu ceva nou – cu viteza de tastare.
URL shorteners – which one to choose, pros and cons of cons of using them, in general, some real-life examples and some conclusions
URL shortening is the process in which you take a long URL, such as this:
http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/2013/10/07/the-pursuit-of-happiness-makes-life-shallow/ and you make it into something simpler, such as this:
http://goo.gl/rHwPN0 (this is the same link as the above link, when you click it and you will be redirected to the long URL).
URL shortening started (I think) in the first years of 2000, and the most notable example of the first years was tinyurl.com. The web site still has a similar interface of what it used to have back then. Time passed, and more services appeared, such as bit.ly or goo.gl (and many many others, of course).
The current blog post is about URL shorteners – which one to choose, why should you use them, why avoid using them, some real life examples and some conclusions.
De ce să cumperi de pe dx.com?
DX.com este un site de chinezării (ei le zic gadget-uri, dar n-aș merge atât de departe) care livrează în România. Marele avantaj? Prețul, cu tot cu livrarea prin Poșta Română, e de obicei uluitor, dar uluitor de mic. Imaginează-ți că te plimbi prin complexul Europa (un bazar al Bucureștiului cu lucruri ieftine, de obicei chinezești), dar online, la prețuri mai mici, de obicei decât în Europa, și cu mari facilități de găsi rapid ce cauți. Teoretic, numai avantaje.
Am comandat până acum de 7 ori de pe DX.com și am anulat alte 6 comenzi, iar o comandă e în procesare. Ce am învățat din asta?
