The film V de Vendetta took Guy Fawkes´ face for Anonymous character; look at this vendetta link for more information.

El cinco de noviembre de 1605 Guy Fawkes conspiró para volar el Parlamento, en la conocida como conspiración de la pólvora. No lo consiguió y ésto dio lugar a la celebración del fracaso del atentado en la conocida Bonfire Night en la que se hacen hogueras quemando un muñeco que representa a Guy Fawkes.

Buenos y malos profes...

We have provided a listing below that we have developed from personal experiences that may help you decide if this is the teacher for you. Some teachers may not exhibit all of the signs listed, but most teachers will fall predominantly into one category or another. A GOOD TEACHER... generally:

Has a sense of humor... A good teacher will help you laugh at yourself (and them!), but will not hold you up to ridicule. Has respect for all living things... Environmental concerns are also important Has a healthy self image... A teacher who realizes that he or she can learn just as much from a novice as the novice may learn from the teacher is probably comfortable in what they know, yet open to new ideas and concepts. Is kind and compassionate... A good teacher will not "look down his or her nose" at your sincere attempts; they realize that experience is necessary to gaining knowledge. Tells the truth and is direct... They 'walk their talk" and do not have a separate code of conduct for themselves while expecting you to follow another Is able to teach by example... They are not "mysterious" so much as they demonstrate the "mysteries" in simple ways to help you understand them. Has a global point of view... A good teacher will encourage their students to reach beyond the local area and embrace the rest of the world community. Is inclusive rather than exclusive in attitude... a teacher who finds an enemy around every corner should be avoided. Allows for mistakes and admits that he/she is not perfect... Is flexible, yet honors commitments... Too rigid a set of rules and regulations stifles energy flow and the learning experience. Too random a training program may also interfere in the discipline required for growth. A balance between the two is best. Encourages you to do your own research and ask questions... A good teacher wants you to discover and explore new ideas. Gives credit where credit is due... A teacher who is using references or techniques from other sources should plainly state this fact Listens more than talks... Someone who talks all the time about his/her experiences is more interested in impressing you with their personal knowledge than helping you to acquire knowledge of your own. Wants you to mature and move on... A good teacher wants his or her students to surpass them. ON THE OTHER HAND:... You Should AVOID a teacher who:

"Can´t fight the moonlight"

Under a lover´s sky, gonna be with you and no one´s gonna be around, if you think that you won´t fall well just wait until, til the sun goes down. Underneath the starlight-starlight, there´s a magical feeling -so right, it´ll steal your heart tonight. You can try to resist, try to hide from my kiss, but you know, but you know that you can´t fight the moonlight. Deep in the dark, you´ll surrender your heart, but you know, but you know that you can´t fight the moonlight, no you can´t fight it, it´s gonna get to your heart. There´s no escape from love, once a gentle breeze weaves it´s spell up on your heart. No matter what you think, it won´t be too long,till you´re in my arms. Underneath the starlight-starlight, we´ll be lost in the rhythm -so right, feel it steal your heart tonight. You can try to resist... No you can´t fight it, no matter what you do, the night is gonna get to you...Don´t try then, you´re never gonna win, underneath the starlight, -starlight, there´s a magical feeling, so right, it will steal your heart tonight.
