This year`s "best places for jobs" list is easily the most depressing since we began compiling our annual rankings almost a decade ago. In the past--even in bad years--there were always stalwart areas creating lots of new jobs. In 2007`s survey 283 out of 393 metros areas showed job growth, and those at the top were often growing employment by at least 5% to 6%. Last year the number dropped to 63. This year`s survey, measuring growth from January 2009 to January 2010, found only 13 metros with any growth.

As far as tourist destinations go, few cities can rival the likes of New York, Washington, D.C., Las Vegas, Orlando and Los Angeles. But if you haven’t been before, each of these places can overwhelm and easily fill an entire week. The solution? Cities well designed to be visited in a weekend–or better yet, a long weekend. The best weekend cities offer at least one or two marquee attractions like world-class museums or monuments, a unique cultural atmosphere and enough great food to let visitors know they are somewhere special–all for less money and easier navigability.

8 March - International Women's Day
The 8th of March is a national holiday and a day off. Several nations celebrate this, but only a few acknowledge it as an official, non-working holiday. The 8th of March is one of the favorite holidays for most Russian women and along with New Year and Christmas and St.Valentine`s Day, it is also one of the most romantic holidays.
Not everybody knows the history of the holiday we celebrate so widely every year on March, 8. The beginning was the following.
Even ancient Rome knew women`s day celebrated my matrons. That was the day, when matrons (free-born married women) received presents from their husbands and enjoyed their love and attention. Female slaves were given presents as well and a senior woman at home allowed them to have a day off. Wearing their best attires, with fragrant flowers in their hair, Roman women came to the temple of goddess Vesta, who was believed a hearth guardian.
Much time has passed since then. Women decided to change their life, struggle for equal rights with men.
March 8, 1857 women working in the textile industry of New York City walked along the city streets to protest against low wages and bad working conditions.
In 1908, this same day, their granddaughters demanded the prohibition of children`s labor, improvement of working conditions at the factories and giving women a right to vote. A year later the Socialists` party of America announced the last Sunday of February as National Women`s day. In 1910 at the international women`s conference in Copenhagen Klara Zetkin suggested an annual celebration of International Women`s day on March 8 in the memory of the events in New York.
In Russia this holiday has been celebrate since 1913 and is widely spread. Some countries do not consider this date a holiday, though. By the way, not all the countries announced it as a day off. The Roman women are the luckiest in this regard, as this wonderful day of Love, Beauty, Spring devoted to women has been a holiday for many centuries for them.
