Barcelona
http://www.officialhawksproshop.com/kids-omari-spellman-hawks-jersey/ , Spain is as irresistible a city as any of the great cities in Europe. Many of the tourists who go to Barcelona find themselves falling in love with the city and end up staying a month, a year, or even a decade. Like any other passionate relationship, however, romancing Barcelona requires time and commitment, and you cannot have either if you stay in a hotel. Hotel rates will break you, and hotel living will blinds you to the city's charms. In the end, you will realize just as countless other travelers before you have realized that the most practical way to stay longer in Barcelona is to rent a holiday apartment.
There are many benefits to staying in an apartment. The first is that it allows you to save. The Barcelona hotel industry enjoys high occupancy rate the whole year round. This high demand for hotel rooms has bumped rates up, so much so that a double room at an average hotel will cost you somewhere between 130 to 200 Euros a night. Obviously, renting a flat is the most cost efficient option for the budget conscious traveler. Cost efficiency, however, is not the only merit to renting accommodation. Holiday flats in this place provide you with more privacy and self-catering facilities. You can have the modern amenities of home at your fingertips at a reasonable price. Moreover, holiday apartments in Barcelona give you more free rein in choosing your choice of temporary home. Do you want to be near the beach or the gallery area? No problem. There are many flats for you to choose from.
These apartments have been designed to keep the sun out throughout the day, so it is always very cool inside. The place has been recently renovated, and the beautiful antique ceiling has been retained. Charming living room with a large arc-style window and beautiful paintings on the walls leads into a separate dining space. Kitchen is quite big, and well equipped with all the utensils. There are 2 bedrooms, each one with a double bed, and 2 bathrooms. The marble bathroom in master bedroom is very spacious.
Before the advent of the computer and the internet, renting a place was not an easy task, and involved a lot of paperwork. But now, you can just email one of the agents specializing in short term or holiday rentals and have your pick of apartment to suit your needs. And renting flats are not just available in Barcelona.
You can go to other areas in Spain and have the same convenience. How about a visit to the Costa Brava in Sitges? Carnival is an especially wonderful time to rent an accommodation here. If you drive into the mountains, you can choose an accommodation in the countryside of Girona or Figueres. Another option is to visit the Dali museum and then drive on to the foothills of the Pyrenees. There you can rent a lovely rustic apartment and enjoy the mountains. There are also ski resorts that offer flats and you can indulge in your winter sports and then relax in your accommodation afterwards. If you don't look forward to breaking a leg skiing, you can just take a walk in the countryside.

THE HAGUE, May 15 (Xinhua) -- The Dutch government has put forward multiple plans and strategies on cyber security, but often without allocating the necessary resources, deplored Dutch media on Monday quoting the conclusion of a study conducted by the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies based in the United States.
The Netherlands spends less than 0.01 percent of its GDP (gross domestic product) on cyber security, considerably less (as a portion of national GDP) than other developed countries like the United States, Britain, Australia, Germany and France, said the report.
Many organizations in both the public and private sectors are still struggling with how to replace complex and outdated legacy systems and many other organizations sill lack a sufficiently qualified cyber security workforce to tackle cyber threats.
Moreover, there are at least 20 bodies with individual and collective responsibilities for enhancing cyber security posture of the Netherlands, but no one agency has overarching authorities to ensure the national cyber security architecture is achieved, added the report.
The study on the Netherlands' national-level preparedness for cyber risks was commissioned by the Dutch government's National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV in Dutch). The report was released earlier on Monday in Washington. Patricia Zorko, NCTV's deputy coordinator and director of the Dutch National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) will present it on Tuesday.
The study published online stated that the Dutch government has set up a comprehensive national cyber security strategy in 2011 and updated it in 2013. It has developed a strong national cyber security architecture with military and intelligence services contributing to a whole-of-nation cyber defense. The Netherlands has also made provocative efforts to shape cyber policy discussions in multiple international fora.
But the Netherlands still needs to accelerate existing civil-military cooperation, increase dedicated funding, clarify the division of responsibilities among actors, and measure the true costs of cyber insecurity to the country, concluded the report.
The report was released at a moment when cybersecurity became a hot topic with the ransomware attacks that hit worldwide over the past weekend. In the Netherlands, Q-Park was victim of the attack. Dutch media on Monday questioned "are we so well protected, or are we just have not been attacked." Many suspected the latter.
As talks continue among Dutch main parties to form a new government, the report noted that all the four parties in the talks recognize cyber security as an important issue for national security and economic prosperity. "The new government .
