Iarna pe uliţă de George Coşbuc

Iarna pe uliţă 

de George Coşbuc

A-nceput de ieri să cadă
Câte-un fulg, acum a stat,
Norii s-au mai răzbunat
Spre apus, dar stau grămadă
Peste sat.

Nu e soare, dar e bine,
Şi pe râu e numai fum.
Vântu-i liniştit acum,
Dar năvalnic vuiet vine
De pe drum.

Sunt copii. Cu multe sănii,
De pe coastă vin ţipând
Şi se-mping şi sar râzând;
Prin zăpadă fac mătănii;
Vrând-nevrând.

Gură fac ca roata morii;
Şi de-a valma se pornesc,
Cum prin gard se gâlcevesc
Vrăbii gureşe, când norii
Ploi vestesc.

Cei mai mari acum, din sfadă,
Stau pe-ncăierate puşi;
Cei mai mici, de foame-aduşi,
Se scâncesc şi plâng grămadă
Pe la uşi.

Colo-n colţ acum răsare
Un copil, al nu ştiu cui,
Largi de-un cot sunt paşii lui,
Iar el mic, căci pe cărare
Parcă nu-i.

FRACTAL PATTERNS IN DRIED OUT DESERT RIVERS.. TIPARE DE FRACTALI IN ALBIILE SECATE ALE RAURILOR

EN: FRACTAL PATTERNS IN DRIED OUT DESERT RIVERS

This incredible aerial photograph by Adrian Franco was selected as National Geographic’s Picture of the Day for April 9, 2012. In it we see the incredible fractal patterns rivers (now dried out) have made as they spread into the salt flats of the Baja California Desert in Mexico.

These patterns are nearly identical to the Lichtenberg Figures that result from an electrical discharge (e.g., scars from people struck by lightning have the exact same patterns).

RO: TIPARE DE FRACTALI IN ALBIILE SECATE ALE RAURILOR 

Aceasta fotografie facuta din avion de Adrian Franco a fost selectata de National Geografic drept fotografia zilei de 9 aprilie 2012. Putem vedea modele incredibile de fractali in albiile raurilor acum secate, asa cum se intindeau in campiile sarate din Desertul Baja California din Mexico.

Aceste tipare sunt aproape identice cu figurile lui Lichtenberg care rezulta din descarcari electrice (de exemplu, cicatricile oamenilor care au fost loviti de fulger arata de parca s-a folosit acelasi sablon ca in aceasta fotografie).

Carrots, Eggs or Coffee.. Morcov, Ou sau Cafea..

EN: Carrots, Eggs or Coffee; "Which are you?" she asked her granddaughter

A young woman went to her grandmother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her grandmother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water. In the first, she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs and the last she placed ground coffee beans. She let them sit and boil without saying a word.

In about twenty minutes she turned off the burners. She fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. She pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then she ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. Turning to her granddaughter, she asked, "Tell me what do you see?"

"Carrots, eggs, and coffee," she replied.

Boguslaw Sliwinski funny ceramic plates.. Farfuriile amuzante de ceramica marca Boguslaw Sliwinski

EN: Boguslaw Sliwinski funny ceramic plates 

Polish designer Boguslaw Sliwinski has created a new series of plates to encourage people to play with their food, allowing diners to recreate sporting action or different hair styles with their vegetables.

Remember when mama used to tell you to stop playing with your food? The adventures of war games and space travels that you created from your meal meant nothing to her. All she cared about was forcing you to eat that green stuff and would proclaim how good it was for you. But designer Boguslaw Sliwinski recognizes that food and creativity don’t have to be a problem in a young child. His wonderful BS Toy ceramic plates lets a child’s imagination run wild while eating healthy too. Each plate has a simple drawing of a train, a ship, a truck or even a helicopter to allow a child’s meal time to be an enjoyable one.

Puteai sa auzi cum cade un ac...

Puteai sa auzi cum cade un ac...

Dean Rusk, Secretarul de Stat al lui JFK era in Franta in anii 60, cind De Gaulle a decis sa iasa din NATO.

De Gaulle a spus ca vrea ca toti militarii SUA sa paraseasca Franta cit mai curind posibil.

Rusk a raspuns:

- Aceasta se refera si la cei care au murit pentru eliberarea Frantei si sunt inmormintati aici ?

Puteai sa  auzi cum cade un ac!...

Conferinta internationala in Franta cu ingineri, inclusiv francezi si americani. Intr-o pauza,  un inginer francez revine in sala spunind:

Ati auzit ultima timpenie facuta de Bush? A trimis un portavion in Indonezia si ajute victimile tsunami-ului!

Ce or fi avind de gind, sa-i bombardeze?

Un inginer de la Boeing s-a ridicat si a replicat linistit:

- Portavioanele noastre au trei spitale la bord si pot trata mai multe sute de pacienti. Ele sunt cu energie nucleara si pot alimenta cu electricitate instalatiile de pe uscat, au trei cantine cu o capacitate de a servi cel putin 3000 de consumatori cu trei mese pe zi. Pot produce mai multe mii de galoane de apa proaspata din apa de mare pe zi  si au o jumatate de duzina de helicoptere care transporta victime de pe puntea de aterizare. Avem unsprezece asemenea nave. Cite are Franta?

Puteai sa  auzi cum cade un ac!...

Un amiral al Royal Navy lua parte la o conferinta navala care cuprindea si amirali din SUA, Marea Britanie,

Canada, Australia  si Franta. La un cocktail, se afla un mare grup de ofiteri din toate aceste natiuni.
