Dad's funny answers to baby daughter's daycare questionnaire.. Raspunsurile amuzante ale unui tata pentru chestionarul de gradinita al fiicei sale

EN: Dad's funny answers to baby daughter's daycare questionnaire

What do you do when you’re a parent and you are asked to complete a personality survey for a daycare for your 11-month-old (who obviously can’t fill it out herself)?

This dad did what any parent with a wicked sense of humor would do: he was totally honest (well, mostly anyway). And his answers were funny enough for the daycare employees to appreciate:

“When daycare, completely seriously, asks my friend to answer stupid questions on behalf of his 11 month old daughter, it is inevitable that stupid answers is what they’ll receive,” the friend who posted it to Reddit said. She also pointed out that even though sleep depravation is misspelled, it might be fairly close to the truth. Right, parents?

The stone.. Piatra

EN: The stone

A wise woman who was traveling in the mountains found a precious stone in a stream.

The next day she met another traveler who was hungry, and the wise woman opened her bag to share her food.

The hungry traveler saw the precious stone and asked the woman to give it to him.

She did so without hesitation.

The traveler left, rejoicing in his good fortune. He knew the stone was worth enough to give him security for a lifetime.

But, a few days later, he came back to return the stone to the wise woman.

“I’ve been thinking,” he said. “I know how valuable this stone is, but I give it back in the hope that you can give me something even more precious.

“Teach me what you have within you that enabled you to give me this stone.”

RO: Piatra

O femeie inteleapta care calatorea prin munti a gasit o piatra pretioasa in albia unui parau.

A doua zi a intalnit un calator care era infometat. Femeia a deschis geanta pentru a imparti din mancarea ce o avea.

Calatorul infometat a vazut piatra pretioasa si i-a cerut femeii sa i-o dea lui. Ea i-a intins piatra fara ezitare.

Calatorul a plecat, bucurandu-se de norocul sau. Stia ca piatra valora suficient cat sa ii ofere securitate financiara cat pentru o viata intreaga.

Insa, cateva zile mai tarziu, el s-a intors la femeia inteleapta pentru a-i inapoia piatra.

- M-am gandit, spuse el. Stiu cat este de valoroasa aceasta piatra, insa o returnez in speranta ca imi vei putea da ceva si mai pretios. - Invata-ma principiile care te-au facut sa imi dai aceasta piatra.

"Dogs Dressed As Their Owners" by Sebastian Magnani.. "Caini imbracati precum stapanii lor" de Sebastian Magnani

EN: Dogs Dressed As Their Owners by Sebastian Magnani

Have you ever noticed that dogs look a lot like their owners and sometimes even have similar personality? Swiss photographer Sebastian Magnani decided to bring this idea to life with his photo series “Underdogs”. He created 8 whimsical diptychs showing how similar humans are to their canine friends.

Shown with hair, clothes and accessories, the funny portraits of dogs and their owners reveal a striking resemblance. On his website, Magnani describes the idea behind his project:

“So where does this striking resemblance between dog and owner come from? It is undisputed that the canines not only stir emotions and interest, but also our inner most needs. Dogs are considered loyal, selfless, trustworthy, life saving, fun and proud companions in a world where these values are gradually disappearing.”

RO: Caini imbracati precum stapanii lor de Sebastian Magnani

Ati remarcat faptul ca unii catei au o infatiseare asemanatoare cu a stapanilor si, uneori, au chiar o personalitate asisderea? Fotograful elvetian Sebastian Magnani a decis zugraveasca aceasta idee prin seria fotografica "Underdogs". El a creat 8 colaje fanteziste aratand cat de asemanatori sunt oamenii cu prietenii lor patrupezi.

Prezentati cu par, haine si accesorii, portretele amuzante ale cateilor si a stapanilor lor, dezvaluie o asemanare izbitoare. Pe site-ul sau, Magnani descrie idea din spatele acestui proiect:

"De unde vine aceasta asemanare izbitoare dintre caine si stapanul sau? Este indiscutabil ca patrupezii nu doar starneste emotii si interes, ci si unele dintre cele mai profunde nevoi. Cainii sunt considerati loiali, altruisti, de incredere, salvatori, amuzanti si insotitori de nadejde, intr-o lume in care aceste valori dispar gradual."

1. Begin your relaxing ten minute hand reflexology treatment by pinching the tips of each finger and thumb of your right hand. Reverse and repeat this process on your left hand. The pressure applied to your fingers should be firm, but not painful. A few seconds for each finger tip will do.

2. After pinching the tops and bottoms of your finger and thumb tips go back to each tip and pinch them again, this time squeezing from side to side. Again, apply pressure, a little discomfort is okay. But, it is important not to inflict pain on yourself.

3. Combine steps 3 and 4 rubbing the tops and bottoms (above photo) and also rubbing the sides (step 4 photo) of each finger and thumb. Vigorously rub back and forth from the base to the tip.

4. Combine steps 3 and 4 rubbing the tops and bottoms (step 3 photo) and also rubbing the sides (above photo) of each finger and thumb. Vigorously rub back and forth from the base to the tip.

5. Grasp each finger (and thumb) at its base and tug firmly. Allow your grip to loosen slightly, graduating it from the base to the finger tip until your finger slips out of your grasp completely.

6. Using your thumb and forefinger firmly grasp the webbed area between your thumb and and forefinger of your other hand. Keeping a firm hold, tug at the skin gently until the fleshy web snaps away from your grasp. Repeat this process for the webbed-tween areas on all your fingers.

7. Rest the palm of your hand inside the palm of your free hand. Use your thumb to massage the back of your hand. Leisurely manipulate the knuckles and in between knuckle area first. Continue thumb massaging each area on the back of the hand.

Vik Muniz transforms trash into artistic treasure.. Vik Muniz transforma resturi fara valoare in comori artistice

EN: Vik Muniz transforms trash into artistic treasure

Brazilian artist Vik Muniz is well known for his ability to reincarnate various materials into highly detailed artworks. His latest iterations - currently being exhibited at the armory show in new york until the 10th of march, 2013 - repurposes scrap metal into a series of whimsical animals.

The winking of golden metal offcuts brings each piece to life, transforming an otherwise forgotten material into a series of meticulously crafted artworks - again reinforcing the skill of Muniz to transform trash into artistic treasure.

RO: Vik Muniz transforma resturi fara valoare in comori artistice

Artistul brazilian Vik Muniz este binecunoscut pentru abilitatile sale de a da o noua infatisare diferitelor materiale in opere de arta detaliate. Ultimele sale transpuneri - care au fost expuse la Armory Show in New York pana pe data de 10 Martie 2013 - dau un nou scop resturilor de metal care sub indemanarea sa iau forma unor animale excentrice.

Stralucirea metalului galben refolosit aduce la viata fiecare piesa, transformand un material care altfel ar fi uitat intr-o serie de opere de arta meticulos realizate - subliniind capacitatea lui Muniz de a recicla resturi fara valoare intr-o comoara artistica.   

Virgin launches glass-bottomed plane.. Compania Virgin lanseaza avioanele cu podeaua de sticla

EN: Virgin launches glass-bottomed plane

By Richard Branson - Apr 01, 2013

I’m thrilled to announce that Virgin has created another world-first with the introduction of the technology required to produce the world’s first glass-bottomed plane. This technological innovation coincides with the start of Virgin Atlantic Airways’ first ever domestic service to Scotland.

In 1984 we started the wonderful airline that is Virgin Atlantic. I am incredibly proud of yet another aviation breakthrough which has been years in the making. I can’t wait to experience the first flight for myself with my family and other natural born explorers.

2012 was a year of celebrating what is brilliant about Great Britain and I’m excited that in 2013 we are continuing this uplifting spirit by developing an experience that will enable Little Red passengers to appreciate the beauty of the British landscape. And with an unrivalled view of Scotland I hope this gives Scottish tourism an even bigger boost.

We hope to trial the glass bottom technology with other Virgin airlines in time and have asked other Virgin companies to support this innovative trial and launch our new domestic Scottish route. This really is a team effort from all corners of Virgin.

By Richard Branson. Founder of Virgin Group

And the question is.. it it an April food joke? 

RO: Compania Virgin lanseaza avioanele cu podeaua de sticla

Un articol de Richard Branson - 01.04.2013 

Sunt incantat sa va anunt ca firma Virgin a adus inca o noutate absoluta prin introducerea tehnologiilor necesare sa produca primul avion cu podeaua de sticla. Aceasta inovatie tehnologica coincide cu primul zbor domestic realizat de Virgin Atlantic Airways in Scotia.

In 1984 am infiintat compania aeriana Virgin Atlantic. Sunt foarte mandru de noutatea aviatica in a carei realizare s-a lucrat multi ani. Abia astept sa experimentez primul zbor imbreuna cu familia si cu alti exploratori nativi.

2012 a fost un al sarbatoririi a tot ceea ce este deosebit in Marea Britanie si sunt incantat ca in 2013 continuam in acelasi spirit, dezvoltand o experienta care va da posibilitatea pasagerilor avioanelor Little Red sa aprecieze frumusetea peisajelor britanice. Si sper ca privelistea de neegalat a Scotiei sa ofere ocazia turismului scotian sa inregistreze un ritm mai mare de crestere.

Speram ca in timp aceasta tehnologie sa fie aplicata si la alte rute Virgin si am cerut ca toate companiile care colaboreaza cu firma Virgin sa sprijine aceasta idee inovatoare si sa promoveze ruta interna in Scotia. Aceasta este o munca de echipa, la care au contribuit oameni din toate sucursalele Virgin.

The shadows of Diet Wiegman's imagination are works of art.. Umbrele imaginatiei lui Diet Wiegman sunt opere de arta

EN: The shadows of Diet Wiegman's imagination are works of art 

Artist Diet Wiegman manages to sculpt mounds of irregularly shaped structures that are transformed into an intricately detailed silhouette when a light shines on it from a precise angle. Similar to the light and shadow sculptures of artistic duo Tim Noble and Sue Webster, Wiegman leaves audiences in awe with his puzzling ability to cast remarkably figurative shadows from heaps of seemingly abstract sculptures.

An oddly configured work that branches out unpredictably is, in fact, meticulously sculpted to cast a shadow that realistically resembles Michael Jackson. The King of Pop is resurrected with a simple spotlight aimed at the sculpture from a very specific angle. Similarly, Wiegman recreates the Venus de Milo, Atlas, and even Michelangelo's David. The visual artist also utilizes the effects of reflecting light off shiny surfaces.

Perspective is everything in Wiegman's sculptures, as can be seen in the video below where his Michael Jackson shadow sculpture (known as Shadow Dancing) is slowly rotated in front of a fixed light and paused briefly when the image of Jackson is revealed.

RO: Umbrele imaginatiei lui Diet Wiegman sunt opere de arta

Artistul Diet Wiegman reuseste sa sculpteze mormane de structuri neuniforme si sa le transforme intr-un mod complicat in siluete detaliate atunci cand lumina bate dintr-un anumit unghi. Asemenatoare cu sculturile realizate prin jocul de lumini si umbre de catre artistii Tim Noble si Sue Webster, Wiegman lasa audienta inmarmurita prin abilitatea deosebita de a proiecta umbre remarcabile din gramezi ce aparent sunt sculpturi abstracte.

Lucrari compuse din ramuri aranjate intr-un mod ciudat care, cu adevarat, sunt meticulos sculptate de a proiecta o umbra care, intr-un mod foarte realist, seamana cu Michael Jackson. Regele muzicii pop a renascut prin proiectia unui singur fascicul de lumina indreptat spre scultura dintr-un unghi foarte precis. In mod asemanator, Wiegman o recreaza pe Venus din Milo, Atlas si chiar Michelangelo lui David. Artistul vizual utilizeaza efectele lumii reflectate pe suprafete stralucitoare.

Perspectiva este totul in sculpturile lui Wiegman, asa cum puteti vedea in fotografiile si in inregistrarea video de mai jos unde umbra sculturii lui Michael Jackson (cunoscuta si ca Umbra care Danseaza) se roteste incet in fata unei surse fixe de lumina si face o scurta pauza atunci cand este vizibila imaginea lui Michael Jackson.

Jan Vormann traveled the world repairing crumbling monuments with Lego.. Jan Vormann a calatorit in jurul lumii reparand monumente cu piese Lego

EN: Jan Vormann traveled the world repairing crumbling monuments with Lego

A German artist has spent three years travelling the world fixing crumbling walls and monuments using Lego. Jan Vormann, 26, has taken his project from its humble beginnings at an art fair in Rome and brightened up thousands of people's days with his brightly coloured plastic version of Polyfilla.

Mr Vormann said: "My favourite work was done in Berlin. I filled in the holes still left by guns and shrapnel from the Second World War. That drew people's attention to the Lego and hopefully they would ask themselves why the Lego was there".

LEGO artist Jan Vormann's art fills up cracks in the region of Sabina, Italy, as part of the contemporary art festival '20 Eventi' during 2007. Also in the Institute for Achitecture ARCAM in Amsterdam, Netherlands, during June 2009. Lego fills up the cracks in the walls of Yaffo in Tel Aviv, Israel, during 2008.

RO: Jan Vormann a calatorit in jurul lumii reparand monumente cu piese Lego

Un artist german si-a petrecut 3 ani calatorind in jurul lumii reparand crapaturile din peretii monumentelor sau simple cladiri, folosind piese Lego. Jan Vormann in varsta de 26 de ani a inceput acest proiect la o expozitie de arta din Roma si astfel a colorat privirile a mii de oameni prin piesele viu colorate de plastic.

Domnul Vorman a spus: "Lucrarea mea preferata a fost facuta in Berlin. Am reparat gaurile care au ramas de la impuscaturile si gloantele din al doilea razboi mondial. Acea lucrare a atras atentia oamenilor catre piesele de lego si sper sa se intrebe de ce piesele sunt acolo".

Artistul a reparat si crapaturile din regiunea Sabina din Italia, ca parte din festivalul de arta contemporana "20 de Evenimente", din 2007. De asemenea la Institutul de Arhitectura ARCAM din Amsterdam, Olanda, din iunie 2009. Bucatile de Lego au umplut si crapaturile zidurilor din Yaffo in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 2008.

Small BULBS are used to decorate CHRISTMAS tree,
CHRISTMAS means GIFTS,
GIFTS are given by SANTA,
SANTA lives in NORTH POLE,
NORTH POLE is the house of POLAR BEARS,
POLAR BEARS are WHITE..
That's why ambulance is WHITE...

A man had to purchase a hearing aid, but he felt unwilling to spend much money.
"How much do they run?" he asked the clerk.
"That depends," said the salesman. 
"Let's see the cheapest model," he said.
The clerk put the device around the man's neck.
"You just stick this button in your ear and run this little string down to your pocket," he instructed.
"How does it work?" the customer asked. 
"It doesn't work," the salesman replied. "But when people see it on you, they'll talk louder!"
