The richest men on earth

Firstof all, no women in the first places (the only one on this ranking is at place 17). Second, queens, kings and royals of all kinds are not in the first places neither (the only prince is from saudi arabis and is at rank 19). Business men are there. thirdly, not all of them are 80 years old and have married an 18 year old model :D

On this page you will find the list of the 20 richest women and men in the world, only hack, it is in french. I have made a small list of these people so that you have an idea, with links to their pages on JournalDuNet:
So, results of the international tournament of the 20 richest people on earth are:

US: 4, India: 4, Russia: 4, France: 2, Germany:2,Mexico: 1, Saudi Arabia: 1, Sweden: 1, Hong-Kong: 1.

Team India, US, Russia ex-aequo in first place. It's like the davis cup here, it's all about the points :-)

You wanna be paid more?

I found this page on Karriere Manager Magazin that'll tell you if what you are being paid is adapted to your qualifications, by comparing it to what the salaries on the market are. You'll have to take a test in the form of a questionnaire. The results are the analysis made of your answers by a specialized institute (which name you'll find on the page). I am pretty sure this test is only valid for Germany. I didn't take the test. First of all I don't care at all at this stage of my career, Secondly I am not ready to pay the 10 euros :D

Hope it'll be of use to some of you.

Biography
After my High School degree in 2000, I went through the CPGE (Classes Preparatoires aux Grandes Ecoles) preparatory classes for the elite French engineering schools system, from 2000 to 2002 (Morocco). I integrated the ENSIMAG (Grenoble INP, Grenoble, France) engineering school of applied mathematics and Informatics where I studied from 2002 to 2006. In parallel, I was selected for the double degree program between the ENSIMAG and the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Karlsruhe, Germany), which is part of the European CLUSTER Program. I graduated from the ENSIMAG (MSc.) in December 2006 and from the KIT in May 2007 (Diplom-Informatiker / MSc.). I majored in both distributed systems and telematics as well as cryptography and reliable architectures of systems. I minored in Entrepreneurship.

My Master thesis was undertaken at the FZI Karlsruhe during the academic year 2006-2007. I worked on a policy-based framework for collaboration and preference-based selection of web services in business processes. During the year 2006, I worked as a student trainee in the business process modeling team of the SAP in the headquarters at Rot-Malsch.

I joined the IDS Scheer AG (now Software AG) as a researcher and software engineer in June 2007. I was involved in the research activities of the IDS Scheer AG in the IP-SUPER project (European ICT FP6) building an integrated semantic business process management stack of semantic languages (ontologies) and framework. I also worked on the design and development of the new ARIS business rules management tool of the IDS Scheer AG. My research activities focused on topics related to semantic business process management, see my publications page for some research that came out of the project. Consequently to the IP-SUPER project, I was shortly involved in the ADIWA (BMBF) project, which seeks to bring together the Internet of Things (IoT) and business process management to create intelligent and dynamic digital workflows.

Since August 2009, I am a junior researcher at the model driven engineering (MDE) group, laboratory for advanced software systems (LASSY) Lab at he CSC research Unit at the Uni.Lu. My research is focused on software language engineering, policy management, compliance, model driven engineering. In the scope of my research I apply and validate scientific results from varied research domains such as formal (operational-SOS) semantics of languages, graphical modeling languages, meta-modeling, logics and business process management.

For a detailed overview of my experience and competencies please have a look at my online CV.

Project Reality Check

A friend of mine (Jean-Michel) sent me this link. I found it very funny so I am writing this post about it, I am sure you will find it interesting too. Although the page is in German, you don't need to understand what is written, just look at the images, it's always easier :D

So the pages is entitled "advertisement against reality". You can see 100 products of all sorts, and compare the advertisement photos or the images on the packages when you buy the product, with how the product really looks like. I'm telling you, the comparison is astonishing. I realized that what I buy is not what I use, eat or wear, but what is represented in the beautiful and bright images that we are bombarded with though advertisements. This is how marketing manipulates us.
