Europe’s 2008 Daylight Saving Schedule Ends

Many people across Europe will need to remember to turn their clocks back by one hour in their local times when daylight saving time comes to an end on October 26, 2008. On this date, most countries in Europe will revert back to their local standard times. Countries such as Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland , Spain (except the Canary Islands), and the Russian Federation will turn the clocks back from 3am to 2am at their local times. Countries such as Bulgaria, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Turkey, and Ukraine will turn the clocks back from 4am to 3am at their local times. --------------------------------------------------- Daylight Saving Time (or summertime as it is called in many countries) is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing clocks by one hour during the summer. During Daylight Saving Time, the sun appears to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually asleep anyway, and sets one hour later in the evening,

Filipinos working in Poznan

POZNAŃ - Filipińczycy rozpoczęli pracę w Cegielskim 08.10.2008 Od miesiąca w Fabryce Silników Okrętowych, spółce należącej do Zakładów H. Cegielski Poznań, pracuje grupa 15 Filipińczyków. Większość z nich zatrudnionych jest jako spawacze. Dwóch pracuje na stanowiskach projektantów. Jeden jest malarzem. Dyrekcja poznańskiego zakładu myśli o zatrudnieniu kolejnych kilkunastu specjalistów z tego kraju. To efekt nie tylko zadowolenia z pracowitości i profesjonalizmu pracowników z Filipin, ale także reakcja na trudną sytuację na rynku pracy. Od kilku lat w Cegielskim brakuje bowiem wykwalifikowanych spawaczy. Po trzymiesięcznym przeszkoleniu wielu z nich rezygnuje z pracy w HCP i wyjeżdża za granicę albo stawia zaporowe żądania płacowe. – Część z pracowników oczekuje nawet 4 tysięcy złotych na rękę – mówi jeden z mistrzów w fabryce W2. – Spawacze są poszukiwanymi specjalistami na naszym rynku. Otrzymujemy też coraz więcej zapytań o takich pracowników od firm zagranicznych – mówi Paweł Korzy

Tirador in 24th Warsaw Film Festival

Slingshot (Tirador) Country: Philippines Production year: 2007 Festival: 2008 Director: Brillante Ma. Mendoza Producer: Renato Esguerra, Antonio Del Rosario Cast: Jiro Manio (Odie), Kristofer King (Rex), Coco Martin (Caloy), Nathan Lopez (Leo), Jaclyn Jose (Zeny) Duration: 86 min Description: About a month after Holy Week, a national election will take place. What future does it hold for a motley group of “tiradors” - local slang for petty thieves - whose daily survival depends on fast fingers and yearly atonement on divine grace? The tiradors all live in an old dilapidated tenement building in the slums of Quiapo, a busy business district of Manila where they ply their trade. The director: “'Tirador' is my perfect example of ‘guerilla-type’ independent filmmaking. It reinforces our faith in what we’ve always believed in these past years: Doing movies independently (from the dictates of money-oriented financiers) may be a sensible way of speaking out the truth with
