The industry i worked for 7 years. Not exactly in LVM (Latvijas Valsts Meži) though in one of biggest players in Latvia’s forest industry.LAtvia has pretty unique forest flora and fauna in Europe – almost 50% of it’s territory is covered by forests. I hope it will remain that way althogh reality suggests different scenario.

This photo just made me to think about what means to us to be hungry? Haven’t eat for some hours? But how about being strawing several days? Thanks God, I haven’t had such experience.

Anyway, folks, – spend less, share more and live happily!

Don’t use highlighters — they only encourage passive reading. Instead, use a pen to copy down important passages into a notebook or in the margins of the textbook itself.
Highlighting helps you find passages later; writing them down embeds them in your memory, and there won’t be any need to go back and hunt for them.
