March 18, 2015 By Jennifer Degtjarewsky If you find yourself anywhere near  Bogota  Colombia, trek 20 miles southwest outside the city to the Tequendama Falls Museum of Biodiversity, also known as the historic Hotel Del Salto. One of Bogota’s most popular attractions, its legendary story tells how the once grand hotel clashed with nature in all its full and brutal majesty. How To Visit: To get there, you’ll drive (or ride a tour bus) on slow Andean Mountain roads from Bogota to Mesitas del Colegio that will take you past scenic views of the Bogota River. Though pungent from severe water pollution, as you rise in elevation the air quality begins to improve and you’ll have spectacular views of the forested subtropical habitat all the way to the 515 ft. drop of Tequendama Falls. The best time to see the falls is during the cool, rainy months of April – May, and then again in October when the full force of the Bogota River is pushed through a mere 60 ft. gorg...

by David Silverman  June 15, 2009   In my last post I talked about how to make your résumé more likely to catch the attention of a hiring manager. As a follow up, I’d like to discuss cover letters. Here’s my basic philosophy on them: don’t bother. That’s because the cover letters I see usually fall into one of three categories: The recap: The résumé in prose form. It’s redundant, harder to read than the résumé, and provides no additional insight. The form letter: This says, essentially, “Dear Sir or Madam: I saw your ad in the paper and thought you might like me.” And it’s clearly a form letter where maybe they got my name and company right. If they’re lucky, I will still take the time to read their résumé after being insulted with a form letter. The “I’m crazy”: This one’s rare, and it expands on the résumé of experience with some personal insights. Examples range from the merely batty (“I find batik as an art form has taught me to become both a better person an...

”AM I BORN SLAVE? OR I AM NOT HUMAN?” WOMEN= HALF OF THE MEN Greek ancients called women, which means half of the men. This was the first world which was added in the dictionary of society to make women the most unnecessary creature of God. Although women was very useful ”THING” for man because she was symbol of love , but in reality she was the thing which pleased the lust of man. The So- called society starts invented new words like WOMAN IS A SYMBOL OF LOVE; This phrase shows that the only thing a woman can do, is to give pleasure to the man. WOMAN IS A SYMBOL OF BEAUTY; That’s why we always find women on televisions, many actresses are working in showbiz, But we rarely found any Lady Philosopher, Scientist, or Thinker. Because it will not please Man’s eye and his honor to see woman on the high status of dignity. RELIGIONS AND WOMAN; When society ended with their rituals regarding the women, then religions started a battle against the women’s freedom, her rights, an...

IN Arabic, `revolution` is a feminine noun. This is fitting, as without women revolutions are sterile. They have no movement, no life, no sound. Urdu, a distorter of tongues, pilfering as it does from Persian and Hindi, but largely Arabic, uses the masculine word for coup d`etat ingilab for revolution, rather than the accurate feminine: thawra. Perhaps that`s why the Taliban were confused. Perhaps that`s why they imagined that shooting a 15-yearold girl would somehow enhance their revolution. `I Am Malala`, Malala Yousufzai`s fearless memoir, cowritten with journalist Christina Lamb, begins on Malala`s drive home from school on the day she was shot in the head. `Who is Malala?` the young gunman who stopped the Khushal School van asked. None of the girls answered. But everyone in the valley knew who Malala was. Ten years old when the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan came to the beautiful Swat Valley, once the home of ancient Buddhist kings,11years old by the time she had established herself...
