Un Elève Brillant... Mental Acrobacy


Voici comment l'on devient avec l'âge
Un Elève Brillant !!
Mental Acrobacy


Un jour, le petit ,Thomas élève d'une classe élémentaire, demanda à sa maîtresse s'il pouvait lui parler après les cours.
Elle accepte.

La Maîtresse:  Alors, que veux-tu me dire, Thomas ?

Thomas:  Je pense être trop intelligent que pour rester dans cette classe, je m'embête! Je voudrais passer directement au secondaire.

Sur ce, le directeur de l'école informé, demande à Thomas s'il veut bien passer des tests pour prouver sa capacité. Thomas accepta sans hésiter et le directeur commence le test.

Le Directeur:  Voyons voir Thomas, combien font 3 X 4 ?

Thomas:  12, Monsieur le Directeur !

Le Directeur:  Et 6 X 6 ?

Thomas:  36, Monsieur !

Le Directeur:  Quelle est la Capitale du Japon ?

Thomas:  Tokyo , Monsieur !

Le test continue pendant une demi-heure, Thomas ne commet aucune erreur! Le directeur satisfait, décida alors d'arrêter le test - mais la maîtresse demanda si à son tour, elle pouvait aussi poser quelques questions à Thomas. 
Tous deux acceptent, et elle commença.

La Maîtresse: 
Bien, Thomas ! dis-moi, la vache en a 4 et moi j'en ai 2 de quoi s'agit-il ?

Thomas:  Les jambes, Madame !

La Maîtresse: 
Correct ! dit la maîtresse. Et...  qu'est-ce qu'on trouve dans tes pantalons et pas dans les miens ?

Le directeur s'étonne de la question...

Thomas:   Les poches, Madame!

La Maîtresse: 
Bien, Thomas ! Qu'est-ce que les hommes et les femmes ont en plein milieu et qui es en double ?

Le directeur se prépare à intervenir lorsque Thomas répond :

Thomas: Les deux 'M', Madame !

La Maîtresse: 
Où est-ce que les femmes ont les poils les plus frisés ?

Thomas: En Afrique, Madame! répond le gamin sans hésiter.

La Maîtresse: 
Qu'est-ce qui est mou mais qui, entre les mains d'une femme, devient dur.

Le directeur ouvre grands les yeux - au même moment, Thomas répondit :

Thomas : Le vernis à ongles, Madame !

La Maîtresse: 
Qu'est-ce que vous les hommes et nous les femmes, avons au milieu des jambes ?

Thomas: Les genoux, Madame !

La Maîtresse: 
Bien. Et qu'est-ce qu'une femme mariée a de plus large qu'une femme célibataire ? 

Thomas:  Le lit, Madame.

Le directeur n'en croit pas ses oreilles !

La Maîtresse: 
Quelle est la partie de mon corps qui est souvent la plus humide ?

Thomas: Votre langue, Madame !

La Maîtresse: 
Quel mot commençant par la lettre 'c' , désigne quelque chose qui peut être humide ou sec et que les hommes aiment regarder ?

Thomas: Le ciel! Affirme Thomas.

Le directeur soufflant, transpirant comme un sauvage, décida de mettre fin au test et s'exclama :
'Ce n'est pas au secondaire que je vais t'envoyer, mais directement à l'université!
Même moi, j'aurais complètement raté ce test...' 

Morale de l'histoire: 

C'est avec l'âge que l'on devient pervers ! !

New York City's Greenhouse Gas Emissions

New York City's
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
One-Ton Spheres of Carbon Dioxide Gas
See Video Below...
Published on Oct 19, 2012 by

In 2010 New York City added 54 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (equivalent) to the atmosphere, but that number means little to most people because few of us have a sense of scale for atmospheric pollution.

Carbon Visuals (http://www.carbonvisuals.com) and 
Environmental Defense Fund (http://www.edf.org/climate/remaking-energy) wanted to make those emissions feel a bit more real - the total emissions and the rate of emission. 
Designed to engage the 'person on the street', this version is exploratory and still work in progress. Mayor Bloomberg's office has not been involved in the creation or dissemination of this video.

NYC Carbon Footprint:
54,349,650 tons a year = 148,903 tons a day = 6,204 tons an hour = 1.72 tons a second

At standard pressure and 59 °F a metric ton of carbon dioxide gas would fill a sphere 33 feet across (density of CO₂ = 1.87 kg/m³: http://bit.ly/CO2_datasheet). If this is how New York's emissions actually emerged we would see one of these spheres emerge every 0.58 seconds.

Emissions in 2010 were 12% less than 2005 emissions. The City of New York is on track to reduce emissions by 30% by 2017 - an ambitious target.

Why Don't You Do Right

You had plenty of money in 1922.
You let other women make a fool of you.
Why don't you do right,
like some other men do?

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

You're sittin down and wonderin what it's all about.
If you ain't got no money, they will put you out.
why don't you do right,
like some other men do?

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

Now if you had prepared 20 years ago.
You wouldn't be a wanderin now from door to door.
Why don't you do right,
like some other men do?

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

Get out of here,
get me some money too.

Why don't you do right, like some other men do? 


"Why Don't You Do Right?" is an American blues- and jazz-influenced pop song – now a standard – written in 1936 by Kansas Joe McCoy. It is a twelve-bar minor key blues form with a few chord substitutes, it is considered a classic "woman's blues" song.

The song has its roots in blues music and deals with themes that were common following the Great Depression and prohibition: the narrator is suggesting that the man is destitute because he has been used by other women, then demands money from him for her benefit.

One of the best known versions of the song is Peggy Lee's, which was recorded July 27, 1942 in New York with Benny Goodman. It sold over 1 million copies and brought her to nationwide attention.

Watch as hurricane Sandy unfolds, and explore what made it so much more devastating than other hurricanes. 
Aired November 21, 2012 on PBS

 
Program Description
  • Was Hurricane Sandy a freak combination of weather systems? 
  • Or are hurricanes increasing in intensity due to a warming climate? 
  • How did this perfect storm make search and rescue so dangerous?

"Inside the Megastorm" takes viewers moment by moment through Hurricane Sandy, its impacts, and the future of storm protection. Through first person accounts from those who survived, and from experts and scientists, "Inside the Megastorm" gives scientific context to a new breed of storms

Disastrous Effects of Plastic Bags

Suffocating The World 
The Disastrous Effects of Plastic Bags
By Scott Morefield

The 1980’s saw the gradual shift from paper to plastic shopping bags in grocery stores all across the developed world. Although plastic bags can be recycled and often are, most normally end up in a landfill somewhere (where they can take hundreds of years to decompose), or out to sea in the Texas-sized ‘Great Pacific Garbage Patch,’ the place where plastics and other non-biodegradable debris are brought by currents from all over the world. There the plastic eventually does degrade, leaching toxic chemicals and breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces, yet still remaining a polymer, toxic to marine wildlife. Eventually the plastic degrades into pieces small enough to be eaten by neuston (water striders, beetles, and other organisms that live at or near the ocean surface), thus entering the food chain.

It’s a vicious cycle, really. As the beetles and water striders consume the plastic and are eaten by larger animals, which are eaten by larger animals, which are eaten by larger animals up to and including humans, the toxicity really does come back to haunt us in more ways than we would like to realize. Until society comes up with a deliberate, organized way to deal with the billions of tons of plastics we produce, the levels of pollution and toxicity will not only permanently harm our planet, but we who live on it as well.

Fortunately the public is waking up. Many cities and even countries have succeeded in reducing the use of disposable plastic shopping bags. Even China, not necessarily known for its environmental stewardship,banned thin plastic bags in 2008.

While many libertarian minded folks will struggle with the introduction of legislation affecting this routine area of our lives, others feel that governments alone are equipped to enact the kind of change that could turn the situation around. Unfortunately, the Globalists and other powers-that-be use crises such as this to seize more and more power and riches for themselves.

The answer isn’t more carbon taxes for Al Gore, but rather a massive public awakening to the environmentally destructive practices we all engage in, practices that are detrimental to the health of our planet and ourselves! Consider the recent, public-generated, massive shift away from BPA in plastics. If it is no longer profitable for businesses to operate one way, businesses will change the way they operate to be profitable. It’s ultimately up to us.

What’s in your Soda?

Posted on July 31, 2012 by PositiveMed Team  
As almost everyone knows, soda is not a healthy drink and it may cause a lot of health issues, including diabetes and obesity. Even the widely advertised “diet soda” may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke in people who drink it regularly. (For more info check out this link).

These are a list of soda’s ingredients and you can find the real effects of these ingredients in the following poster:
  1.     Sugar (Sucrose) and corn syrup
  2.     Aspartame
  3.     Caramel color
  4.     Flavor additives
  5.     Phosphoric acid and caffeine
  6.     sodium

7 Effects of Soda


The bad effects of having soda is not only due to its high sugar content and high calories. Even diet soda causes many harms to our body. Soda contains some ingredients that have different known and unknown effects. 

As an example of these weird effects, a new Danish research shows that drinking non-diet soda builds up fat around the liver and skeletal muscles, which eventually leads to insulin resistance and diabetes. 

This research also shows that having only one soda a day for six month, causes 30 percent increase in blood triglyceride and 11 percent increase in blood cholesterol, which is really a big deal!

Soda & the risk of heart disease:
A Soda a Day Raises Chronic Heart Disease Risk by 20%!-
Sugary drinks and sodas are associated with 20% increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) as well as some adverse changes in lipids, inflammatory factors, and leptin, according to a new study in Children’s Hospital Boston, MA.
“Even a moderate amount of sugary beverage consumption — we are talking about one can of soda every day — is associated with a significant 20% increased risk of heart disease even after adjusting for a wide range of cardiovascular risk factors,” senior author Dr Frank B Hu (Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, MA) told heartwire . “The increased risk is quite substantial, and I think has important public-health implications given the widespread consumption of soda, not only in the US but also increasing very rapidly in developing countries.”
Hu says that one of the major constituents of soda, high-fructose corn syrup, is subsidized in the US, making such drinks “ridiculously cheap” and helping explain why consumption is so high, particularly in lower socioeconomic groups.

“It has been shown for minority groups — such as African Americans and Asians — that they are more susceptible to the detrimental effects” of sugary drinks on diabetes incidence, he notes.

 
Soda in Disguise
The FDA states that any drink can be called a ‘fruit drink’ 
as long as it has some fruit juice, even less than 1 percent!

Yeah... Right !
