Monistat 7 On Clitoral Hood
In Vietnam, we paid a few times by plane, train and private cars, instead of taking the bus. Luxury? No, a need to increase our chances of survival and reduce our stress levels. I've already talked about: the traffic in Vietnam is crazy, and bus drivers are the craziest of them all. The few trips we did on the bus gave us heart palpitations. You see, the drivers of buses and trucks seem to continually play a little game: they drive on the median line, and when a vehicle arrives in the opposite direction, they give a swerve at the last moment. Ah, ah! Very fun! Whoever wins the last cup. And this is in addition to the excesses which are anyhow, anywhere I can still remember the times we saw happen right in front of us a bus overtaking a truck in our path . And our own bus could not pull to the right, because there was a line of bikes that rolled onto the shoulder. It is still a miracle that made an accident was narrowly avoided. Moreover, these are the miracles that take place of traffic in this country. The vehicles have a small support specially installed on the front bumper to receive incense sticks, lit for the protection of Buddha or the ancestors ...

Sudden Extreme Nausea
It's been awhile since it had not happened: sweaty, four-leg in the bathroom with a cloth and a cleaner, now rub ... We do not go to luxury hotels, but here, really, this place was worse than worse, and I could not remember when I saw dirt everywhere, the rag (actually, it was the carpet bath) and the container of detergent (left in the room, but had apparently not been used).
Normally, we would never put our backpacks in such a chamber. We may have a limited budget, we do not compromise on cleanliness, usually. But to stay in the village of My Khe Beach, we had two options: one room dirty, ugly and depressing to $ 30, or a room dirty, ugly and depressing to $ 8. The room was $ 30 maybe a little less dirty, but the staff was extremely unpleasant, and at this price, it was theft. It was therefore found in the room at $ 8, and me on all fours in the bathroom trying to scrub the tile, sink, toilet (YAAARK!). But the worst was the bed that reeked of dampness. OUAACH! Finally, there is that Marco and I who were inconvenienced; girls, they were playing in their camp surrounded by a bed net. And we must say that we have encountered no sound hacker on the scene - a good point.
We were in this village to visit the memorial of
My Lai, but also to enjoy the beautiful white sand beach. She was beautiful, indeed, and just in front of our room. But what a waste: it was littered with trash! He had to walk to reach the waste water. To find it beautiful, it was beyond the tide line - the line of garbage - and not look back. This beach is not cleaned until there will be no foreign tourists, but there will be no foreign tourists as the beach is not cleaned ... Damage. They even built a paved walkway along the beach, with Parisian-style street lamps in wrought iron (rusting already), but the place is disfigured by waste. The country would need an operation ONET - remember cleaning the banks of the St. Lawrence River from Quebec students in 1985? In fact, the whole of Asia would need an operation "Continent-net". It makes me laugh when I see environmental projects that work on the dangers of climate change. Should First, start with garbage, picking up garbage, composting, and some basic education.
The room that I was "allowed" to reconnect with the cleaning the bathroom (I missed it so !...)
The magnificent deserted beach of My Khe (I'll spare you the piles of waste)

Bringing Vinyl On Plane
[Emily V. is a young lawyer who works at MRAX since August 2009. At the last general meeting, she had the courage to take the three minutes that were granted to denounce major malfunctions (that's a euphemism), for example the significant financial commitment from the perspective assumed decided to "launder President" (quoting a letter here from France Blanmailland, director resigned.) Christmas Eve, a favorable period for dismissals that are not too noisy, Emily V. has received his C4, without a word of explanation.]
Brussels, 23 December 2009
Spree ... for daring to protest! Inconvenient Truth, and MRAX skids ...
In this holiday season, I get a recommendation dated December 17. Small incomplete sentence: "The Board of Directors of MRAX, your employer, you hereby notifies its decision not to pursue further your trial period. Therefore, the Board concludes our contractual relationships through a notice period of seven calendar days (...) ".
No evaluation has taken place.
no prior explanation.
No maintenance, no warning.
Only back on my work, it is flattery Radouane about me when CA October 8, which I attended. Then, nothing.
Having worked as volunteer and other non-profit organization, I realize that this approach is wrong. While on probation, it is normal for an employer to at least prevent the employee the reasons for his dismissal.
MRAX by the cons, nothing stands, nothing is done rationally. What matters (and I had been clarified during my job interview) is the LOYALTY TO THE CA. It's not that I wore when I arrived in August, the office of complaints arm's length, alone, my lawyer friend was sick.
I arrived at MRAX full of good will, without knowing the conflict without knowing the board members nor permanent. I tried not to position myself in the conflict.
But the facts are very convincing quickly:
September: My colleague Mahiedine returns from sick leave. Out of curiosity, I asked where is the record of ethnic profiling in Schumann (incidents of January). He said he Nordine has worked with for many hours, he sent couriers to Radouane in January-February. He was awaiting the approval of the Board to send all complaints, but he never received a response. (See over this damning testimony Nordine Saidi, a member of the Board, on http://parlemento.wordpress.com/ ). Mahiedine send me the different letters and emails written in January-February and reminders sent to Radwan and CA thereafter.
On 8 October, I attend Meeting of the Board. Nordine Radouane asks where are the complaints Schumann. Radwan says "Mahiedine did nothing, this is the first task of the new lawyer." I'm obviously scared of this lie is being done without blinking.
is this event that opened my eyes to the manipulation and lies easily from all members of the Board of Directors. Other incidents only confirm that feeling. Radouane insults against Didier ("dirty bastard"), the complete lack of interest in relation to my work, neglect of major complaints (Case Adecco [1] , police violence, ...), the controversial commitment of the new lawyer, the refusal to grant me a training ...
At the AGM of a st December, I can not keep quiet because this awakens in me a sense of rebellion. I know I'm risking a lot. But for me, freedom of expression, justice and truth are values more important than employment contract. Without much surprise, but with great sadness, I get this week recommended that my dismissal.
Not to mention what happens to my colleagues or the management and communication in general, which are devastating. This is at best the result of clear incompetence on the part of officers to manage an association, at worst reflects personal interests manipulators disconnected from the daily reality of MRAX.
Sad for MRAX, sad for the fight against racism, whose permanent MRAX are the last real defendants.
I wish much luck to my colleagues.
Emily Van Laer
