25 Years After The Fall Of The Berlin Wall, On The Brink Of A New Cold War

by Beenish Ahmed Posted on

The Soviet leader who helped bring a close to Cold War has warned that the west and Russia are on the cusp of another era of tension. At the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, Mikhail Gorbachev said that the crises in is not getting the sort of international oversight needed to prevent the sort of hostilities that divided much of the world in two for half of the last century.

“The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some say that it has already begun,” he said in a speech in Berlin on Saturday.

A European Leadership Network report released on Monday supports Gorbachev’s point.

Forty sensitive incidents have taken in the last eight months alone. By October of this year, NATO states had already intercepted Russian aircraft encroaching on sovereign airspace more than 100 times – that’s three times more than in all of 2013.

“These events form a highly disturbing picture of violations of national airspace, emergency scrambles, narrowly avoided mid-air collisions, close encounters at sea, and other dangerous actions happening on a regular basis over a very wide geographical area,” the report’s authors Thomas Frear, Łukasz Kulesa, and Ian Kearns note. “While the majority of the documented incidents have taken place in the Baltic Sea, there have also been ‘near misses’ in the High North, Black Sea and along the U.S. and Canadian borders.”

“At the military level, it may be initiating and using such incidents to observe patterns of response and test the preparedness of specific elements of national and allied defense systems, as well as levels of cooperation between NATO Allies and partners,” they continue. “They serve as a demonstration of Russia’s capability to effectively use force for intimidation and coercion, particularly against its immediate neighbors.”

Some of the incidents carried out by Russia seems to have been coordinated with major diplomatic events with the West such as President Barack Obama’s visit to Central Europe, the Ukrainian President’s visit to the U.S. and Canada, or the NATO Summit in Wales.

The report does not include Malaysian Airways flight MH17 which crashed over Donetsk in eastern Ukraine in July. Many, including Secretary of State John Kerry have accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting down the plan and killing the 298 passengers on board. The separatists have laid claim to the region and held elections there earlier this month, a political event condemned by NATO and the European Union.

In March, Russian troops took control of the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in a nearly entirely bloodless invasion.

More than 4,000 have been killed since the start of the pro-Russian uprising in Ukraine, according to the United Nations.

“And yet,” Gorbachev told a crowd gathered to commemorate the fall of the Berlin Wall, “While the situation is dramatic, we do not see the main international body, the U.N. Security Council, playing any role or taking any concrete action.”

Time .Emperor Xi a poor analogy

Emperor Xi a poor analogy

Mary Ma

Monday, November 10, 2014


 
ADVERTISEMENT

Time magazine likens President Xi Jinping to an emperor in its upcoming issue. Calling him Emperor Xi, the prestigious weekly publication says the supreme Chinese leader looms large at home and abroad.

It isn't the first time the Western media has drawn similar references. In May last year, the Economist landed in trouble after featuring a photo of Xi in an emperor's robes.

How will Beijing respond this time?

What does Time actually say about Xi? It calls him China's strongest leader in years - someone aiming to propel his country to the top of the world order.

It also quotes the Shanghai Observer as saying Xi is a workaholic who rises before dawn and toils late into the night. In foreign affairs, he's a natural, dealing with visiting peers with grace and charm.

Well, such observations may be true of China's current paramount leader, but they are hardly the characteristics of a Chinese emperor historically.

For throughout the Middle Kingdom's centuries-old history, foreign policy was seldom a priority for the imperial rulers. The nation's record of dealing with the West was disastrous, with China carved up by Western powers under the nose of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

While Time's comparison is a bit out of touch, many people would agree Xi has surpassed his predecessors, Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao, to become the most powerful Chinese leader in recent times.

This is reflected at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Beijing. US President Barack Obama will be attending the summit as a lame duck after his Democratic Party's humiliating defeat in the US mid-term election.

Ahead of his meeting with Xi, Obama has already tasted successive foreign affair offensives by his Chinese counterpart to fend off US attempts to curb China's rise.

On Saturday, Xi rolled out a massive US$40 billion (HK$312 billion) Silk Road project at a meeting with leaders from Bangladesh, Cambodia, Laos, Mongolia, Burma, Pakistan and Tajikistan.

The project comprises the Silk Road economic belt and 21st century maritime Silk Road - both aimed at constructing roads, railways, ports and airports in Central Asia and South Asia to break the connectivity bottleneck.

The amount was bigger than the US$16.3 billion sum previously rumored. It's known as the Chinese version of the Marshall Plan, led by the United States after World War II to help European allies rebuild their economies.

Yesterday, Xi said China would invest US$1.25 trillion abroad over the next 10 years.

The proposals came hot on the heels of the launch of the China-backed Asian infrastructure investment bank initiative that's regarded as a challenge to the US- supported World Bank and Asian Development Bank.

Another key piece is the Free Trade Area of Asia Pacific pact. Though opposed by Washington, Beijing managed to reach an agreement to study a potential deal, with a goal of establishing FTAAP as early as possible.

Meanwhile, Xi keeps people guessing over whether he'll meet with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. These are the odds facing Obama. It's clear that Xi is an emperor with a vast wardrobe - rather than no clothes.

BBC News .Apec summit: Leaders back Chinese plan for trade pact

Вторник, 11 Ноября 2014 г. 14:25 + в цитатник

11 November 2014 Last updated at 10:14 GMT

 
Chinese leader, Xi Jinping, at the Apec summit near Beijing, 11 November 2014The Chinese leader says the Apec decision on a new pact is "historic"

 

Asia-Pacific leaders meeting in Beijing have agreed to move towards a new free trade zone strongly backed by China.

The Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) is seen by some as a rival to a US trade pact, which excludes China.

Announcing the creation of a "road map" at the Apec summit near Beijing, Chinese leader Xi Jinping called it "a historic" step.

Mr Xi earlier urged Asia-Pacific nations to accelerate economic ties.

The US is currently negotiating a separate Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which is considered part of Washington's "pivot" towards Asia - ensuring continued US influence in the region in response to growing Chinese power.

The TPP involves 12 countries, but not China or Russia.

But Mr Obama has rejected suggestions by Chinese commentators that the TPP is a way of countering Chinese influence.

In an interview with China's Xinhua state news agency, he said the US was in no way trying to contain China.

Staff members at the Apec summit in Beijing, 11 November 2014Leaders from 21 nations are attending the summit near Beijing

Leaders of Apec - the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation forum - are to conduct a two-year study into the establishment of the FTAAP.

"Currently, the global economic recovery still faces many unstable and uncertain factors," the Chinese leader said earlier.

"Facing the new situation, we should further promote regional economic integration and create a pattern of opening up that is conducive to long-term development."

Technology deal

Separately, the US and China said they had made a "breakthrough" on eliminating tariffs on their technology products.

US Trade Representative Michael Froman told reporters in Beijing that the deal could lead to the "swift conclusion" of wider talks on global cuts in technology tariffs. This could lead to a drop in the price of products such as GPS devices, semi-conductors and medical equipment.

Mr Froman said the agreement in Beijing "shows how the US and China work together to both advance our bilateral economic agenda but also to support the multilateral trading system".

MH17

On the sidelines of the summit, Australian PM Tony Abbott met Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss the downing of the Malaysia Airlines plane in eastern Ukraine in July.

Australians were among the 298 people who died on Flight MH17. Western nations say it was caused by a missile fired by pro-Russian rebels. Moscow says Ukrainian government forces were responsible.

Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said the two leaders had agreed on the need for a genuine investigation into what happened.

Ties between the two Asian giants have been extremely tense because of a territorial row over disputed islands in the East China Sea.

Анекдот

A woman walked into the kitchen to find her husband stalking around with a fly swatter. "What are you doing?" she asked.
"Hunting flies," he responded.
"Oh... Killed any?" she asked.
"Yep, three males, two females," he replied.
Intrigued, she asked, "How can you tell?"
He responded, "Three were on a beer can, two were on the phone".

What can you do when the shops and museums are closed? 
Well, there are restaurants, discos, pubs and clubs.
London has over one hundred and thirty cinemas and more than sixty theatres.
The first performance of this play, ‘The Mousetrap' by Agatha Christie, was in I952. 
And yes, at this London theatre they are still performing the same play. 
It’s a world record.
But London isn’t all rush, rush, rush.

 

 

 

Что вы сможете делать, когда магазины и музеи закрыты? 
Ну, есть рестораны, дискотеки, пабы и клубы. 
В Лондоне имеется свыше ста тридцати кинотеатров и более шестидесяти театров. 
Первый спектакль по этой пьесе, "Мышеловка" Агаты Кристи, состоялся в I952. 
И вот, в этом лондонском театре они по-прежнему исполняют ту же пьесу. 
Это мировой рекорд. 
Но Лондон не все только спешка, спешка, спешка.

 

 

There are some wonderful parks - like Hyde Park, Regent’s Park and St
James’s Park - where you can walk, jog, have a picnic, or just relax and get away from the noise.
So you see, there’s lots to do in London. 
You can always have a good time. 
Dr Johnson, a famous English writer, once said, "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life.”
Well, I’m not tired of London.

Есть замечательные парки - такие как Гайд-Парк, Риджентс-парк и Сент- 
Парк-Джеймс - где вы можете прогуляться, пройтись, устроить пикник, или просто расслабиться и скрыться от шума. 
Итак, вы видите, есть много чего поделать в Лондоне. 
Вы всегда можете хорошо провести время. 
Доктор Джонсон, известный английский писатель, однажды сказал: "Когда человек устал от Лондона, он устал от жизни". 
Так вот, я не устала от Лондона.

Movies c subtitles and English learning
Looking through the exciting new film, not everyone thinks that viewing can also bring many benefits. For example, through the story, you can learn the sights of the city in which the action takes place, some words from the language that was originally filmed etc.
Besides conventional films - duplicated or translated into Russian with the background muted accompaniment in the original language, there are also so-called movies with subtitles, which are films in the original language or in Russian films, the show is accompanied by an English or Russian text at the bottom screen. Such films has long been successfully used in the study of English.
Hearing the conversation of actors in the film with subtitles, it is sometimes quite difficult to make out some words and phrases, as it is very rhythmic. Words coalesce into an incredibly fast phrases and the human ear is often not able to immediately adapt to the new language. It was at this moment, to help the viewer come subtitles. Thanks to them, we can understand not only individual words but whole meaning dialogues.
To learning English by watching movies with subtitles not become commonplace (exactly the same, which for many is watching television), you need a variety of genres of films viewed.
Learning English described method has several advantages. One of them is the fact that in most films the actors are talking to on the present spoken language. That is - viewing a film student will be familiar with it "living" language, not adapted phrase book.
Another advantage - it's interesting to view the films, which serves as a stimulus to language learning. That is - in contrast to other sources of information, fun to watch movies a lot of people. Movies with subtitles are just the fact that combines "with pleasure."
There are a few guidelines to follow that can make watching a movie more efficient in terms of English language teaching:
1. The first - when you first view it is necessary to try to make sense of dialogue and not to pay attention to some details. Deal with unintelligible phrases and words better during subsequent viewings - it will be possible to stop the movie at each unintelligible phrase and translate it with a dictionary.
2. Secondly, the - again, when you have several times watching movies, you can try to repeat aloud the words and phrases after actors. This exercise will not only contribute to the development of correct pronunciation, but turnovers and memorization of words.
3. Third - you need to watch movies on a regular basis (as, indeed, any other action related to training).
One of the benefits of learning English through films with subtitles - this is what you get used to automatically understand the English language (if necessary, looking at the title). Therefore, when you begin to view any reel in English without subtitles - you'll understand it faster than if it is done without such preparation.
As you know - on the Internet, you can find an incredible array of new films, which translated into Russian one is going, and so, the more they sell in our markets. Learn English, you can buy any movie without translation and translate it yourself when viewing. In addition, at independent translation of foreign films, you can find lots of important details, or to prevent missed translators in translating norms of censorship.
Watching movies with subtitles, you will not only learn a lot of new words, but also learn to give them emotional color, characteristic of the speech of foreigners. However, we should not forget that the quality of your spoken English will depend entirely on you. The more serious you are inquisitive and will approach the matter, the more you will achieve a positive effect.

www.english-easy .Why "now" to learn the language easier than "once"?

Воскресенье, 09 Ноября 2014 г. 16:58 + в цитатник

English - just


Alphabet | Audiouroki | Tutorials | Grammar | Lyrics | Talking Dictionary | Translator | Topics | Phrasebook


Why "now" to learn the language easier than "once"?
In the former Soviet Union, the teaching of foreign languages, especially English, as the most common, based on the fact that after fifteen years of studying people could read and write with a dictionary, but in no way could talk. This was done specifically to Soviet citizens could not hear on the radio "Voice accursed." But today things have changed, and spoken English as the language of international communication has become a must.
We have to admit that the English language is required for many today and for many reasons. First of all, English is published practically all technical literature and not just her. In medicine, biology, geography and English became the main language of the published scientific journals respective profiles. In addition, virtually all of the instructions are written in the same language. And because we want it or not, and have to learn English.
As already mentioned, the study of English in school and college was conducted improperly and not for the procedure. Rather than teach pupils and students to speak correctly in English, to communicate with foreigners, teachers were forced to cram grammar which gave nothing without practice, without live communication. And it turned out that after fifteen years of teaching English language remained the same impregnable fortress, as at the beginning of training. On the same principle based and all English textbooks, memorizing grammar rules instead of live conversation and socializing with people. Those few who could teach English in private, by immersion in the atmosphere of the language, possessed him fairly quickly and at a good level.
With the beginning of perestroika in the former USSR and the language began booming. People were not only go to other countries for permanent residence, but also significantly more likely and easier to travel abroad on various occasions. Everywhere were set up special centers for the study of English clubs, groups. It should be recognized that not all these formations were of good quality, but minimal knowledge they still gave. Thus, for a short period of time, English became one of the subjects of the business. Techniques have been developed for the early study, designed for different levels of language acquisition. Of course, not all of them were successful, but many techniques have yielded results.
The most interesting and promising, this technique was recognized when the English language was studied by the method of communication between the game itself. This technique is based on the same principle as that of language learning children. Children learn English, and any other easily, effortlessly, without expending much effort. Many centers, schools, groups began to operate in the same manner, and very successfully. Now adults can learn English quickly and effectively enough. At the same time, game language teaching methods, combined with the ability to dive into the language, gives very good results. Experts say that so learned English, firmly embedded in the consciousness of people, helping them to quickly learn the language in an unfamiliar environment and communicate almost freely.
Thus, we can say that the system of teaching English has evolved from ineffective in modern society "nerazgovornoy" shape to a more acceptable "conversational" view. And in the choice of particular courses, techniques or training materials should take account of their historical context: whether they are oriented on the modern "age of progress," or are recycled remnants of the past. And simply put, you need to choose something, and then you will be able to speak in English.

Teacher of English at home. How to choose?


Success consists of your desire and a good teacher.

Why for a full study of the English language alone is not enough strong desire? Professionals in the field of language teaching answer this question because that foreign language is not only reading and translation, it is also conducting a full conversation, as they say now, in real time, and not with the dictionary. That is, you must not only know all the rules and structures for constructing sentences and phrases, but also to be able to recite it to the phonetics and in combination with the meaning, which made from native speakers.

Private English teachers are needed not only to the disciples knew all the rules of grammar and had a large vocabulary. The real challenge that faces the educator is to teach you to intuitively understand this strange language to us. This is the level of free conversation, when to voice their thoughts do not need to frantically to remember the rules.

Teacher of English at home as opposed to those who lead group sessions, can afford to speed up or slow down the pace of the study of a topic. It is up to the student, understand - Secure - went further, if you have questions, then stay at this place more.

For success in English is certainly a success for the rest.

Today's life is that the English language - is the key to your career and personal growth. In order to be sure of your level of English, you must make sure that the selected teacher has all the necessary knowledge. English Teacher at home should have a relevant academic degree (philological or pedagogical). To many educators imposed more stringent requirements, for example, requires a certificate of various internships and seminars in English-speaking countries. Thus, you can deliberately sift the formation of teachers who hold only the "old" methods (eg, continuous memorizing dialogues) and have not "refreshed" its vocabulary.

Those private English language teachers who, after a rigorous selection process will work with you, do not waste your time in vain. Training will be conducted not only for the benefit, but would not torment for you. In the arsenal of such teachers all the modern techniques used the complete set of multimedia training materials, so you do not have to get bored.

jumping on the gray, and when the gray, then think of a crow.

- And what do you prefer women, James? Blondes or brunettes?

- You see, sir ...

- No, James, I understand.

 

- How you took Johnson?

- Can not say that very gostepriimno.Na table was served only ashtray.

 

Lord out of the house. Servant accompanies him and asks:

- Sir, if I send the lady behind you, tell me where you do not need to look for?

 

- Very tactful Englishman does not know how to tell the secretary,

that she was fired ... And puts it this way:

- Miss Jones, you are so great to perform its duties,

I do not even know what we would do without you. But Monday we

still try ...

 

- Madam, you obviously take me for a fool?

- What are you, I never judge people by first impressions

 

P.S and my personal favorite:

Utro..Anglichanin reads gazetu..Vhodit servant.

- Sir, the water rose in the Thames

- Do not you see, James, I'm busy ???

After some time

- Sir, the water in the Thames reached critical point

- James, I have not finished breakfast ...

Even after some time the servant opens the door

-Temza, Sir ..

 

Английский юмор - не столько стиль, сколько образ жизни. Национальная
поговорка гласит:
"Everyone

has  a fool    in his sleeve"// "У каждого в рукаве сидит свой дурак".
 
Рассказывая английский анекдот, ощущаешь чувство легкого
превосходства, слушая английский анекдот, ощущаешь чувство легкой неполноценности.
==============================================================
 
Во время празднования нового 2001-го года телерепортер спросил прохожего на улице Лондона:
Какие у вас планы на это тысячелетие?
Довольно скромные. Большую его часть я буду мертв.
 
Тонет корабль. Англичанин с трубкой во рту обращается к капитану:
Сэр, какая из шлюпок для курящих?
 
В узком переулке Лондона останавливаются два автомобиля, ехавшие
навстречу друг другу. Ни тот, ни другой шофер не хочет уступить дороги. Шофер
первой машины достает газету "Таймс" и начинает читать. Через час второй шофер
вежливо обращается к нему: Когда вы дочитаете, сэр, прошу одолжить газету мне.
 
Нищего англичанина посетил адвокат.
Вынув из портфеля какую-то официальную бумагу, он объявил:
Мне поручено сообщить вам, что недавно умерший дальний родственник
все свое имущество завещал вам. Вы получите в наследство его поместье
с прилегающими к нему обширными лесами, 100 тысяч фунтов стерлингов наличными и собаку.
Наследник затянул окурок, выпустил облако дыма и с важным видом спросил:
Какой породы собака?
 
 
Английский клуб. Запах дорогих сигар и коньяка. Двое англичан молча
сидят в глубоких креслах. Один, наконец, произносит: Скоро Рождество!
Другой отвечает: О да, скоро Рождество!
Молчат. Первый заговаривает снова:
Рождество - это хорошо, но секс лучше!
Второй: О да, секс лучше!
Первый, помолчав: Секс лучше, но Рождество - чаще!
Второй: О да-да, Рождество чаще!
 
Две старые девы сидят во дворе на скамейке и, поджав скорбно губы,
наблюдают за петухом, который гоняется за курицей и никак не может
догнать. Два раза обежав вокруг дома,           курица выбегает на улицу и попадает под колеса грузовика.
Одна из дев произносит с пафосом: Она предпочла смерть.
 
Разговаривают два шотландца. Один говорит:
Эти англичане такие бешеные! Вот вчера, например, забегает один ко
мне в номер в 2 часа ночи и начинает кричать и выражаться!
А ты что? Ничего. Продолжаю спокойно играть на своей волынке.
 
Бэрримор, а что это у меня в ботинке хлюпает? Овсянка, сэр!
А, что она там, собственно говоря, делает?! Хлюпает, сэр!
 
Вас почистить? - спросил проводник пассажира, когда поезд стал приближаться к станции.
Если можно. Но имейте в виду, что я принципиальный противник чаевых.
Конечно, сэр! Но ваша одежда не такая уж грязная, как мне вначале показалось...
 
Едут два джентльмена в одном купе... Час молчат, другой. Наконец один
другому и говорит: Разрешите представиться - меня зовут Джон Уайт, а Вас?
На что второй джентльмен отвечает: А меня нет...
 
Заметка в английской газете:
"Позавчера сэр Хартни с друзьями охотился на зайца. Он оставил после
себя жену, трех сыновей и зайца."
 
Приходит английский лорд домой. Ему открывает дворецкий и говорит:
Ну что, старый хрен, опять бухал и шлялся по девкам?
Нет, Джон, ходил покупать слуховой аппарат...
 
В своем доме, в гостиной, развалившись в кресле, сидит англичанин,
курит трубку и читает утреннюю "Times". Вдруг обваливается стена,
и в гостиную, скрипя тормозами, въезжает "Бентли",
за рулем которого сидит другой англичанин. Первый спокойно переводит
на него взгляд, вынимает трубку и спрашивает:
-Могу я спросить, куда сэр так торопится?
- В Манчестер, сэр!
- В таком случае, сэр, Вам ближе было бы через кухню...
 
- Вопрос спикеру:
- Сэр, позволяет ли мне протокол назвать лорда Честертона жирной и грязной свиньей?
- Сэр, протокол не позволяет Вам назвать лорда Честертона жирной и грязной свиньей.
- В таком случае, я воздержусь назвать лорда Честертона жирной и грязной свиньей.
 
- Что такое мужской стриптиз по-английски?
- Это когда джентльмен под музыку Стинга медленно... ослабляет узел галстука
 
Лорд - слуге:
- Том, мне нужна горячая ванна!
- Уже вылезаю, сэр!
 
Старая леди на старом, но не утратившем былого шика здоровенном
кадиллаке пытается втиснуться на последнее оставшееся место на
тесной стоянке под супермаркетом. Пока она примерялась, некий
молодой человек на спортивном ягуаре прошмыгнул и занял
последнее место. Старушка от изумления не может вымолвить ни слова
- Но.. но.. но почему?
- Потому что я молод и быстр!
Старушка что-то медленно прокручивает в своем мозгу, включает передачу
и заезжает в тот же бокс. Увидев, что его гордость превращается в кучу
смятого металла, молодой человек остолбеневает:
- Но.. но.. но почему?
- Потому что я стара и богата.
 
Американский журналист брал интервью у английского писателя. Во время
беседы он положил ноги на стол, но тут же спохватился и спросил:
- Простите, вас не смущает моя привычка?
- О, нет, не беспокойтесь, - любезно ответил его собеседник,
- можете положить на стол все четыре ноги.
 
Американец покупает в Шотландии замок.
- Я бы купил ваш замок, но только если в нем есть привидения.
- Вот уж не знаю. За восемьсот лет ни одного не видел
 
Лорд спрашивает слугу:
- Скажите, Джеймс, каких лошадей вы предпочитаете?
- Видите ли, сэр, когда я еду на вороной, мне почему-то хочется
скакать на серой, а когда на серой, то думаю о вороной.
- А каких женщин вы предпочитаете, Джеймс? Блондинок или брюнеток?
- Видите ли, сэр...
- Не надо, Джеймс, я понял.
 
- Как вас принял Джонсон?
- Нельзя сказать, чтобы очень гостеприимно.На стол была подана только пепельница.
 
Лорд уходит из дому. Слуга провожает его и спрашивает:
- Сэр, если леди пошлет меня за вами, скажите, где вас не надо искать?
 
- Очень тактичный англичанин не знает, как сообщить секретарше,
что она уволена... И формулирует это так:
- Мисс Джонс, Вы так великолепно справляетесь со своими обязанностями,
что я даже не знаю, что бы мы делали без Вас. Но с понедельника мы
все-таки попробуем...
 
- Мадам, вы, очевидно, принимаете меня за дурака?
- Что вы, я никогда не сужу о людях по первому впечатлению
 
P.Sи лично мой любимый:
Утро..Англичанин читает газету..Входит слуга.
- Сэр,вода в Темзе поднялась
- Вы не видите,Джеймс ,что я занят???
Через какое-то время
- Сэр,вода в Темзе подошла к критической точке
- Джеймс ,я не закончил завтрак...
Еще через какое-то время слуга распахивает дверь
-Темза,сэр..

In the hotel the lady came and asked the receptionist:

- Good afternoon. I'm Mrs. Ita Rosenberg came to your town an hour ago and

very tired.I would like to stay at night.Employer looked at her

hard look and said coldly:

- I'm sorry, madam, but the hotel is completely full.

 

At this moment a man came up to the counter with a bag, and put the keys

paid off for nomer.- How fortunate! - Mrs. Rosenberg was delighted - I

I get to his room?

- I'm sorry, ma'am, but we do not rent rooms to Jews - said the porter.

- Hebrews? - Cried the woman - who is a Jew here? I - a Catholic!

 

But the port is not trusted.

- If you are Catholic, tell me the name of the son of God?

- Well, it's simple. His name is Jesus.

 

Porter still doubting, asked:

- And as they called the parents of Jesus?

- Mary and Joseph - impatiently replied Madame Rosenberg.

- If so, tell me, where Jesus was born?

- In the barn, in a manger, because fed cattle.

- OK - said the porter, - you have convinced me. Get your room.

- And now you are allowed to ask a question on this topic for you? - asked

woman, twisting on a finger a room key.

 

- Yes, of course! - Porter replied, glad to demonstrate the capabilities and

their knowledge.

- Why did Jesus born in a stable, but still in the nursery, of which fed

cattle?

 

Porter thought long, and finally admitted that he did not know the answer:

- So why? - He asked.

- Yes, because even then were bastards who do not rent rooms to the Jews!

 

В гостиницу вошла дама и обратилась к портье:

- Добрый день. Я госпожа Ита Розенберг, приехала в ваш город час назад и

очень устала.Я хотела бы снять комнату на ночь.Служащий посмотрел на нее

тяжелым взглядом и холодно сказал:

- Сожалею, госпожа, но отель совершенно переполнен.

 

В этот момент к стойке подошел человек с чемоданом, отдал ключи и

рассчитался за номер.- Как удачно! - обрадовалась госпожа Розенберг, - Я

могу получить его комнату?

- Сожалею, госпожа, но мы не сдаем комнаты евреям, - сказал портье.

- Евреям? - закричала женщина, - Это кто здесь еврей? Я - католичка!

 

Но портье не поверил.

- Если вы католичка, скажите, как зовут сына Божьего?

- Ну, это просто. Его зовут Иисус.

 

Портье, все еще сомневаясь, спросил:

- А как звали родителей Иисуса?

- Мария и Иосиф, - нетерпеливо ответила мадам Розенберг.

- Если так, то скажите, где родился Иисус?

- В хлеву, в яслях, из которых кормили скотину.

- ОК, - сказал портье, - Вы меня убедили. Получите свою комнату.

- А сейчас вы позволите задать вопрос на эту тему вам? - спросила

женщина,крутя на пальце ключ от комнаты.

 

- Да, конечно! - ответил портье, радуясь, возможности продемонстрировать и

свои знания.

- А почему Иисус родился в хлеву, да еще в яслях, из которых кормили

скотину?

 

Портье долго думал, и, наконец, признался, что не знает ответа:

- Так почему же? - спросил он.

- Да потому, что уже тогда были ублюдки, которые не сдавали комнаты евреям!

Furman Lidia(Israel)-PARABLE OF MOSES

 Furman Lidia(Israel)

PARABLE OF MOSES

 One farm donkey fell into a well. While the farmer was thinking what he should do, the animal watches publish plaintive sounds. Finally, the farmer decided. He considered that the donkey is already old, no longer needed farm and invited all his neighbors to dig a well. They all began to help a neighbor. Donkey immediately knew what would follow, and began a loud screech. Then, to everyone's surprised, NIJ, he fell silent.

 After a few shots of the earth farmer decided to check and see how he's down there. The farmer was amazed by what I saw. Every clods falling on his back, the donkey was doing absolutely incredible:

he became shaken and dropped on top of the ground.

 

While neighbors farmers continue to throw the earth into the well, each time an animal is shaken and became filled up over the land. Very soon all surprised because they saw how the donkey went upstairs and jumped over the edge of the well and sped forward like mad!

 

In life you will meet a lot of dirt, and every time fate will send you all new and new portion. Whenever fall clod, shake and rise upward. Each of the arising problems - it is an opportunity to become higher. If you do not stop and do not give up, you can choose from any, even very deep well.

 

To be happy, there are five simple truths:

1. Free your heart from insults - just ...

2. Free your mind from worries - most of them do not come true.

3. Lead a simple life and Appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

 

 

You have two choices ... smile and close this page, or share this story with your friends.

ПРИТЧА ОТ МОИСЕЯ

 

 

 

Однажды фермерский осел провалился в колодец. Пока фермер думал, как ему поступить, животное часами издавало жалобные звуки. Наконец, фермер принял решение. Он посчитал, что осел уже старый, уже не нужен ферме и пригласил всех своих соседей закопать колодец. Все дружно принялись помогать соседу. Осел сразу же понял к чему идет дело и начал издавать громкий визг. Затем, ко всеобщему удивле-нию, он притих.

 

После нескольких бросков земли фермер решил проверить и посмотреть как он там внизу. Фермер был изумлен от того, что увидел. С каждым комком земли, падавшим на его спину, ослик проделывал совершенно невероятное:

он встряхивался и становился поверх сброшенной земли.

 

Пока соседи фермера продолжали забрасывать землю в колодец, каждый раз животное встряхивалось и становилось поверх насыпанной земли. Очень скоро все удивились, потому что увидели, как ослик поднялся наверх, перепрыгнул через край колодца и умчался вперед как угорелый!

 

В жизни вам будет встречаться много грязи, и каждый раз судьба будет посылать вам все новую и новую порцию. Всякий раз, когда упадет ком земли, встряхнитесь и поднимайтесь наверх. Каждая из возникающих проблем - это возможность стать выше. Если не останавливаться и не сдаваться, то можно выбраться из любого, даже самого глубокого колодца.

 

Чтобы быть счастливым, есть пять простых истин:

1. Освободи свое сердце от обид - ПРОСТИ...

2. Освободи свой разум от волнений - большинство из них не сбываются.

3. Веди простую жизнь и цени то, что имеешь.

4. Отдавай больше.

5. Ожидай меньше.

 

 

У тебя есть два выбора... Улыбнуться и закрыть эту страницу, или поделиться этой историей с друзьями.

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

Charles Darwin described the change of living organisms over time through a process of natural selection as “survival of the fittest”. In everyday language, “survival of the fittest” has taken on a new meaning for many people. That line is often taken to mean that nature favors the strongest and most ruthless of creatures. The weak and mild die out, and only the fierce survive. But if that were true, wouldn’t everything on earth have evolved into ferocious monsters trying to devour one another?

Our world is full of living things that tell a different story. Consider the Antarctic “midge.” It’s the only insect and the largest land animal on the frozen continent of Antarctica, where even a cockroach wouldn’t survive for a whole minute.

This midge isn’t big or fierce or even very complicated. It’s less than a quarter of an inch long. It spends two winters of its larval life frozen solid, and it lives for only ten days as an adult. Scientists studying the midge recently found that it has the simplest and smallest genomeof any insect on earth. But it’s as “fit” as an Antarctic bug could ever hope to be. Fitness in Antarctica isn’t the same as fitness in your kitchen, where the more complex cockroach can be hard to kill. So biological fitness is what works best in a particular time and place.

Actually, “Survival of the Fittest” can be a misleading phrase. Charles Darwin used those words to describe evolution, but he had picked them up from the philosopher Herbert Spencer.

Spencer thought that the laws of nature applied to society as well. The idea became known as “Social Darwinism.” Among other things, it held that brutal competition for wealth and property improved the human species. Scientists have rejected Social Darwinism aspseudoscience. But some people still cling to the belief that evolution favors strength, aggression, and complexity. Sometimes it does. But it also favors creatures as small, harmless, and simple as the midge.

So what’s the fittest creature in a modern city? Or on a ship at sea? What does “Survival of the Fittest” mean where you live? Do you need to be strong, fast, and mean, or smart, gentle, and cooperative tothrive in your environment?

 

VOCABULARY

ruthless
without mercy or pity; cruel
midge
a small fly
cockroach
a beetle-like insect; a worldwide pest in homes and restaurants
larval
the immature stage of an insect
genome
the complete set of genetic material in a cell or organism
evolution
the process by which living organisms developed from earlier forms
pseudoscience
beliefs that are mistakenly thought to be based on scientific knowledge

See the sea. Aries

 

At one poor village boy born into the world. He spent his days meaningless mechanically and monotonously, as well as the other inhabitants of the village of fading, with no idea what to do with their lives. And one fine night he dreamed the sea. None of the villagers had never seen the sea, so no one was able to confirm that somewhere in the world there is endless water.

And when the young man said he would go in search of the sea from his sleep, all twisted his finger to his temple and called him a madcap. But he, in spite of everything, set off for a long time and wandered until he found himself at a crossroads. Here he chose the road that led directly, and in a few days reached the village, whose inhabitants were peaceful, prosperous life. When the young man told him that wanders, dreaming to find the sea, they began to convince him that he was wasting his time, and it would be better to him to stay in the village and live as happily as all. Some years the young man lived in abundance. But one night he again dreamed the sea, and he thought of his unfulfilled dreams. The young man decided to leave the village and again hit the road. Saying goodbye to everyone, he returned to the fork and this time go in another direction. He walked for a long time, until he came to the big city. Admire its hubbub and diversity and decided to stay there. Studying, working, having fun and eventually forgot all about the purpose of his journey. However, a few years later he again dreamed sea and thought that if you do not fulfill the dream of his youth, it'll waste a life wasted. So he went back to the fork and chose a third way, which led him into the woods. Young man in a small clearing saw the hut, and near it is not too young, but the beautiful woman who was hanging wash clothes. She invited him to stay with her, as her husband went off to war and never returned. The young man agreed. For many years they lived happily raise children, but one of our hero, who was old, again visited the dream of the sea. And he left all, with what has been associated for many years, returned to the fork and set off the latter, hitherto unknown to him the path is very steep and rocky. He walked with difficulty and began to fear that soon completely knock out power. Once at the foot of the big mountain, the old man decided to climb it in the hope of at least from afar to see the sea from my dreams. After a few hours at the end of the forces he got to the top of the mountain. Before him stretched vast expanses of the old man saw a fork in the road and the village where the residents were prosperous life, and a big city, and the hut woman with whom spent many happy years. And in the distance, on the horizon, I saw the blue, boundless sea. And before stopping his tortured heart, touched the old man through the tears of regret had noticed that all the roads on which he walked, drove to the sea, but none of them did not pass through.

Увидеть море. Овен

В одной бедной деревушке родился на свет мальчик. Он проводил свои дни бессмысленно, механически и монотонно, так же как и остальные обитатели этой угасающей деревушки, не имея представления, что делать с собственной жизнью. И в одну прекрасную ночь ему приснилось море. Ни один из жителей деревни ни разу не видел моря, поэтому никто не смог подтвердить, что где-то в мире существует такая бескрайняя вода. 
А когда юноша заявил, что собирается отправиться на поиски моря из своего сна, все крутили пальцем у виска и называли его сумасбродом. Но он, несмотря ни на что, пустился в путь и долго странствовал, пока не оказался на развилке дорог. Здесь он выбрал ту дорогу, которая вела прямо, и через несколько дней добрался до поселка, жители которого вели спокойную, обеспеченную жизнь. Когда юноша сообщил им, что странствует, мечтая найти море, они начали убеждать его, что он зря тратит время и лучше будет ему остаться в этом селе и жить так же счастливо, как и все. Несколько лет молодой человек жил в достатке. Но однажды ночью ему опять приснилось море, и он вспомнил о своей несбывшейся мечте. Юноша решил покинуть поселок и вновь отправиться в путь. Попрощавшись со всеми, он вернулся на развилку и на этот раз пошел в другом направлении. Шел он долго, пока не дошел до большого города. Восхитился его гомоном и пестротой и решил остаться там. Учился, работал, веселился и со временем совсем забыл о цели своего путешествия. Однако через несколько лет он опять увидел во сне море и подумал, что, если не исполнит мечту своей юности, то впустую растратит жизнь. Поэтому он опять вернулся на развилку и выбрал третью дорогу, которая привела его в лес. На небольшой полянке юноша увидел избушку, а возле нее уже не слишком молодую, но прекрасную женщину, которая развешивала выстиранное белье. Она предложила ему остаться с нею, так как ее муж ушел на войну и не вернулся. Юноша согласился. Много лет они прожили счастливо, вырастили детей, но однажды нашего героя, который уже состарился, опять навестил сон о море. И он оставил все, с чем был связан много лет, вернулся на развилку и пустился в путь последней, доселе неизвестной ему тропой, очень крутой и каменистой. Он шел с трудом и стал опасаться, что вскоре совсем выбьется из сил. Оказавшись у подножия большой горы, старик решил подняться на нее в надежде хотя бы издали увидеть море из своих снов. Через несколько часов на исходе сил он добрался до вершины горы. Перед ним раскинулись необозримые просторы: старик увидел развилку дорог и село, в котором жители вели благополучную жизнь, и большой город, и избушку женщины, с которой провел много счастливых лет. А вдали, на горизонте увидел голубое, бескрайнее море. И, прежде чем остановилось его измученное сердце, растроганный старик сквозь слезы сожаления заметил еще, что все дороги, по которым он шел, вели к морю, но только ни одну из них он не прошел до конца.

A blacksmith(кузнец) forged (ковать)two sickle(серп) and sold them to the peasant. Peasant their ground, left alone in the barn, and the other took to the field. From the work of the sickle was beautiful and brilliant.
After the harvest sickle both were back in the same barn and started with surprise looking at each other. Sickle lain idle all the time, rust and dust. He looked with envy at his beautiful and brilliant colleague.

Два серпа
Притча неизвестного происхождения
Один кузнец сковал два серпа и продал их крестьянину. Крестьянин их наточил, оставил один в сарае, а другой взял в поле. От работы серп стал красивым и блестящим.
После жатвы оба серпа снова оказались в одном сарае и стали с удивлением друг друга разглядывать. Серп, пролежавший всё время без дела, покрылся ржавчиной и пылью. Он с завистью глядел на своего красивого и блестящего собрата.
— Как тебе такое удалось? — недоумённо спросил он. — Ведь я не трудился и всё это время спокойно лежал в этом сарае.
— Красивым и блестящим стал я от труда, — ответил ему другой серп. — Тебя же изувечило безделье

Milendia_Solomarina .Фильм для изучающих английский: "Частный детектив Джек Старк

Это цитата сообщения Milendia_Solomarina [Прочитать целиком + В свой цитатник или сообщество!]

Фильм для изучающих английский: "Частный детектив Джек Старк"

Фильм "Private detective Jack Stark" состоит из четырёх серий-эпизодов, разбитых на двадцать учебных уроков. В курсе обучения используются самые распространённые фразы в повседневных ситуациях общения. Увлекательный детективный сюжет с приключениями детектива Джека Старка делают изучение английского языка захватывающим и эффективным. Уровень языка - для начинающих, но для закрепления навыков разговорного английского полезен и уже давно изучающим английский. Мне понравилась возможность сравнения акцентов британского и американского английского в этом курсе. Эта специальная учебная программа создана OceanoMultimedia - одним из крупнейших издательств в Европе. 

Вы можете смотреть по маленьким 8-минутным урокам этот курс на плеере youtube.com или целыми эпизодами.

Урок 1. “The case of the missing husband” (Дело о пропавшем муже)  




Удобнее смотреть уроки длительностью по 40 минут с возможностью использования  русских и английские субтитров (см. кнопочку SUB)

Эпизод 1.The case of the missing husband - направлен на развитие навыков устного общения, рассматривает основы разговорного повседневного английского, которые помогут Вам рассказывать о событиях, которые произошли в прошлом, а также о событиях, которые происходят непосредственно в момент речи.


Эпизод №2 «The island adventure» (Приключение на острове).

Английский по методике Шестова. Ч.2.

Если Вы можете правильно произнести каждое слово из этого стихотворения, значит, Вы говорите по-английски лучше, чем 90% носителей английского языка - утверждает Михаил Шестов.

В этом видео-уроке более подробная артикуляция и медленный по-слоговый разбор Стишка-примера на все нюансы орфоэпии - давайте весело, но с очень серьёзным настроем поучим ПРАВИЛЬНЫЕ фонемы:

.

Я сама по этому уроку пытаюсь себе произношение выправить, а то дети смеются над моим "Вис -из" или "сит даун" - нужно то говорить "Зыс - ыс" и "сыт даэун" (начало орфоэпии в Ч.1. http://www.liveinternet.ru/users/milendia_solomarina/post247682027/)

Изучаем английский по методике Шестова. Ч.1.

Михаил Шестов - педагог-новатор, журналист-международник, автор книг-бестселлеров "Как Научить Себя Учиться и Обучать", "Да! Вы можете выучить любой язык и научить себя учиться эффективно", "Как Быстро Выучить Английский" и др.,  разработал собственную методику быстрого и эффективного обучения иностранному языку ( Английскому в частности).

 Михаил Шестов является к тому же  рекордсменом книги Гиннеса по скорости печатанья см. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9lpqG9ZvGY&feature=player_embedded

«Вы не будете зубрить слова и пытаться запомнить многочисленные времена! Вы не будете пытаться общаться друг с другом на ломаном английском, убеждая себя, что снимаете языковой барьер! Вы не будете напрягать свой мозг, и без того уставший за день! Вы будете много, но красиво говорить, петь, радостно кричать», - обещает Михаил Шестов. Английский станет вторым родным.

Предлагаю посмотреть 2 урока  - Мастер Класса по этой методике.

1 – семинар – МастерКласс (именно с этими проблемами непонимания мы столкнулись, переехав в Англию - не тикет, а ТЫКЕТ правильно, не  джоб, а ДЖЯб и т.д. нюансы разбирает в произношении гласных)

Этот базовый курс английского по уникальной методике Драгункина был запрещён на видео-mail.ru в открытых источниках (автор боролся с пиратством), каково же было моё удивление, когда я нашла весь курс, выложенный одним фильмом!!!! Вот предлягаю Вашему вниманию этот потрясающе доступный метод - все части в одном 3-х часовом ролике. Рекомендую смотреть порциями, и не за один день:-)

Толковые уроки Английского по методу Пимслера

Долго искала что-нибудь удобное для моих читателей в плане помощи изучения
Английского. Почему-то бесплатных уроков про истинный Английский английский в интернете не найти, кроме как на сайте ВВС, но зато я откопала неплохие уроки американского английского, которые предлагаю слушать, пока руки или глаза заняты другими делами (в интернете или по-хозяйству), я лично когда шью люблю аудио-книги слушать или уроки. Итак:

 Метод Пимслера для русскоговорящих (по 30 уроков, 3 уровня полный)



Никаких учебников! Никакой зубрёжки! Только слушаем и говорим! Это один из самых популярных аудиокурсов. Вы будете потрясены, обнаружив, что можете поддерживать настоящий разговор на английском после этих тридцати 30-минутных уроков. Языковые программы Пимслера являются единственной формой изучения языка, включающей оригинальную, запатентованную методику тренировки памяти, которая гарантирует вам запоминание того, что вы изучаете. Он создан для русскоговорящих, изучающих английский язык. В добрых традициях методики Pimsleur уроки состоят из тематичных диалогов с переводом и объяснениями. Пояснения и комментарии изучаемого на уроках вы слышите на русском языке, сам материал - разговорный английский язык, речь об американском английском..

описание на языке оригинала:

Comprehensive ESL Russian includes 30 lessons of essential grammar and vocabulary -- 16 hours of real-life spoken practice sessions -- plus an introduction to reading.

Upon completion of this Level I program, you will have functional spoken proficiency with the most-frequently-used vocabulary and grammatical structures. You will be able to:

* initiate and maintain face-to-face conversations,

* deal with every day situations -- ask for information, directions, and give basic information about yourself and family,

* avoid basic cultural errors and handle minimum courtesy and travel requirements,

* satisfy personal needs and limited social demands,

* establish rapport with strangers in foreign countries,

* begin reading and sounding out items with native-like pronunciation.

Уроки второго и третьего уровней официально не выпускались для русскоязычных пользователей. Второй и Третий уровень был переведён с итальянского на русский Игорем Серовым, преподававшим 10 лет английский язык в Академии ФСБ России, Психолингвист и мастер НЛП..На сайте fenglish.ru  Вы найдёте каждый урок с текстом вместе по 30 уроков в каждой части

Alina Semukha (USA) 'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater

Четверг, 30 Октября 2014 г. 11:10 + в цитатник

"Feed the Birds"

 http://www.peteyandpetunia.com/BirdLady/BirdLady.htm

Birds and Souls Are Cared for by the Bird Lady

This HTML creation is for a lady whose great appreciation of life and great sense of humor provide comfort for her friends and has become a new Muse for me.   I will always be thankful that God sends this angel each day to feed the birds and to feed our souls.

The humor you find that follows this short introduction is a small introduction of the humor of a retired teacher and retired nun whose birthday this July finds her turning 77.   Just enough time to keep spreading her piano playing and good deeds.

 


While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc.  Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew  take you safely to Afghanistan.   An old Master Sergeant sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear her right?   IsIs the captain a woman?'   When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right?   Is the captain a woman?'   Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'

'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know what to think   with only women up there in the cockpit.'  'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member,   'We No Longer Call It The Cockpit.'   'It's The Box Office.



"Quote of the Day"

'Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.   If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.   If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.   If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.   If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.

She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her.   So, if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of mess.'

Women are Angels.   And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly...usually on a broomstick.   We are flexible like that.




St. Paul's Cathedral







Feed the Birds

1964
Performed by: Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews)
Written by: Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman

Early each day to the steps of Saint Paul's
The little old bird woman comes.
In her own special way to the people she calls,
"Come, buy my bags full of crumbs.

Come feed the little birds, show them you care
And you'll be glad if you do.
Their young ones are hungry,
Their nests are so bare;
All it takes is tuppence from you."

Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag.
"Feed the birds," that's what she cries,
While overhead, her birds fill the skies.

All around the cathedral the saints and apostles
Look down as she sells her wares.
Although you can't see it, you know they are smiling
Each time someone shows that he cares.

Though her words are simple and few,
Listen, listen, she's calling to you:
"Feed the birds, tuppence a bag,
Tuppence, tuppence, tuppence a bag."

Alina Semukha (USA) This Guy walks Into A Bar

Четверг, 30 Октября 2014 г. 10:56 + в цитатник

This Guy walks Into A Bar.... (S805)
          From: tom on 6/16/2012

 A well known Anti-Semite, walks into a bar and is about to
 order a drink when he sees a guy close by wearing a kippa,
 tzitzis, and payos.  He doesn't have to be an Einstein to
 know that this guy is Jewish.

 So he shouts over to the bartender so loudly, that everyone
 can hear, "Drinks for everyone in here, bartender, but not
 for that Jew over there."  Soon after the drinks have been
 handed out, he notices that the Jewish guy is smiling and
 waving to him and says 'Thank You' in an equally loud voice,
 so that everyone can hear.

 This infuriates the Anti-Semite and in a loud voice, he
 once again orders drinks for everyone except the Jew.  But
 as before, this does not seem to worry the Jewish guy who
 continues to smile, and again says, "Thank you."

 So the guy asks the barman, "What's the hell is the matter
 with that Jew?  I've ordered two rounds of drinks for every-
 one in the bar except for him, and all that the silly bugger

Alina Semukha (USA) Good friends are like quilts

Четверг, 30 Октября 2014 г. 10:25 + в цитатник

"Good friends are like quilts(лоскутное одеяло)-they age with you, yet never lose their warmth."

I am forwarding this to those on my Seniors email list because it is so well written.

Please send back. (I did) It's neat. Don't delete this one, you'll laugh when you see the return message.
I have seen too many dear friends leave this world, too soon; before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging.

 Whose business is it, if I choose to read, or play on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those
wonderful tunes of the 50s, 60s & 70s, and if I, at the same time, wish to weep over a lost love, I will.

 I will walk the beach, in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body, and will dive into the waves, with abandon, if I choose to,
despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They, too, will get old.

 I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, eventually, I remember the important things.


Sure, over the years, my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break, when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength, and understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken, is pristine, and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect.

 I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray, and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep
grooves on my face. So many have never laughed, and so many have died before their hair could turn silver.

As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore.

I've even earned the right to be wrong.

So, to answer your question, I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever,

but while I am still here, I will not waste time lamenting what could have been, or worrying about what will be.

And I shall eat dessert every single day (if I feel like it).

 

MAY OUR FRIENDSHIP NEVER COME APART, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART!

Forward this to at least 7 people, and see what happens on your screen. You will laugh your head off!

Alina Semukha (USA) The Parking Ticket

Четверг, 30 Октября 2014 г. 09:42 + в цитатник

 

The Parking Ticket

Working people frequently ask us retired people what

we do to make our days interesting.

Well, for example, just the other day my wife and

I went into town and visited a shop, browsing for a while.

When we came out, there was a parking meter

cop writing out a parking ticket.

 

I  went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man,

how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.

I called him an asshole.  He glared at me and started

writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

 

So Liz called him a shit  head. He finished the

second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing more tickets.

This went on for about ten  minutes.

The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

 

Just then ......our bus arrived, and we got on it

and went home.  We weren't too concerned about the

vehicle's owner because of the sticker on the back window:

  "Down with Israel * * * I support Muslims".

 

We try to have a little fun each day now

that we're retired.  It's important at our age.

Airplane Female flight crew

http://message.snopes.com/showthread.php?t=55407

While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the
G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency
exits, etc.

Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain,
Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '

An old Master Sgt. sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear
her right? Is the captain a woman? '

When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the
captain a woman?'

'Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'

'My God,' he said, 'I wish I had two double scotch and sodas. I don't know
what to think with only women up there in the cockpit.'

'That's another thing, Sergeant,' said the crew member, 'We no longer call
it the cockpit'

'It's the Box Office.'

Man with a knife in Manchester - level 3

Man with a knife in Manchester - level 3

28-10-2014 07:00Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
 

Shocking CCTV footage released by Manchester police shows the moment the man wielding a large-bladed knife is tackled to the ground by armed officers.

 

 

 

At about 11 pm on Tuesday, CCTV operators spotted a man waving the butcher’s knife around the Piccadilly Garden's area of Manchester and informed the police.

 

The man can be seen struggling to stand and interacts with terrified members of the public, as he continues to wave the knife around.

Several bystanders can be seen approaching the man who was also carrying a number of other items.

Within a couple of minutes of being called, local response and armed police officers arrived at the scene and bravely took the man to the ground.

A 55-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of affray and remains in police custody for questioning.

Difficult words: CCTV footage (security camera video), wield (hold a weapon out to prepare to use it), tackle (pushed), butcher (a person who cuts apart large pieces of meat), interact (communicate or make people react), terrified (scared), bystander (person who watches something), affray (a fight in a public place).

BBC News .High milk diet 'may not cut risk of bone fractures'

Среда, 29 Октября 2014 г. 13:58 + в цитатник

High milk diet 'may not cut risk of bone fractures'

 

File picture of milk being poured Milk is rich in calcium, a key component of bones

 

Drinking lots of milk may not lower the risk of fracturing bones, a study in the British Medical Journal suggests.

The research, conducted in Sweden, showed women who drank more than three glasses a day were actually more likely to break bones than those who had less.

The researchers cautioned that their work only suggested a trend and should not be interpreted as proof that high milk consumption caused fractures.

Factors such as alcohol and weight were likely to play a role, they said.

Twice the chance

Milk has been recommended as a good source of calcium for many years but studies considering whether it leads to stronger bones and fewer fractures have had conflicting results.

Those who had a high milk intake also had a 50% higher risk of hip fracture”

Prof Karl MichaelssonUppsala University

A team of scientists in Sweden examined the dietary habits of 61,400 women in 1987-1990 and 45,300 men in 1997 and then monitored their health for years afterwards.

Participants were asked to complete questionnaires on how frequently they consumed common foods such as milk, yoghurt and cheese over a one-year period.

Researchers then tracked how many developed fractures and how many participants died in the years afterwards.

In the 20-year follow-up period in which the women were monitored, those who drank more than three glasses, or 680ml, of milk a day were more likely to develop fractures than those who had consumed less.

The high-intake group had a higher risk of death too.

Prof Karl Michaelsson, lead researcher at Uppsala University, said: "Women who drank three or more glasses a day had twice the chance of dying at the end of the study than those who drank less than one glass a day.

"And those who had a high milk intake also had a 50% higher risk of hip fracture."

Men were monitored for an average of 11 years after the initial survey and the results showed a similar but less pronounced trend.

Opposite pattern

When fermented milk products such as yoghurt were considered, the opposite pattern was observed - people who consumed more had a lower risk of fractures.

Prof Michaelsson says the findings could be due to sugars in milk, which have been shown to accelerate ageing in some early animal studies.

Individuals should still be encouraged to consume a balanced diet”

Prof Sue Lanham-NewUniversity of Surrey

"Our results may question the validity of recommendations to consume high amounts of milk to prevent fragility fractures.

"The results should, however, be interpreted cautiously given the observational design of our study."

Dietary advice should not be changed until more research had been conducted, he said.

Prof Sue Lanham-New, from the University of Surrey, said the study was of limited use. "We do not have a feel for the influence of physical activity or other lifestyle habits important to bone or overall mortality.

"And the effect of increasing body mass index has not been fully investigated in this study.

"Milk and dairy products in the UK provide 50-60% of the calcium in our diet.

"We know that low calcium intake (less than 400mg a day) is a risk factor for osteoporosis.

"Individuals should still be encouraged to consume a balanced diet from the five key food groups of which milk and dairy are key."

Alina Semukha (USA) Only the Irish have Jokes Like These

Среда, 29 Октября 2014 г. 12:52 + в цитатник

 

Only the Irish have Jokes Like These

Into a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy
Looking like he'd just been run over by a train
His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken
His face is cut and bruised and he's walking with a limp 
"What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender. 
" Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy. 
"That little twit, O'Conner," says Sean, 
"He couldn't do that to you, 
He must have had something in his hand." 
"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had
And a terrible lickin' he gave me with it." 
" Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself, 
Didn't you have something in your hand?" 
That I did," said Paddy. 
"Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of 
Beauty it was, but useless in a fight."

 

An Irishman who had a little too much to drink 
Is driving home from the city one night and, 
Of course, his car is weaving violently all over the road.

cop pulls him over
"So," says the cop to the driver, 
Where have ya been?" 
" Why, I've been to the pub of course," 
Slurs the drunk. 
" Well," says the cop, "it looks like you've had quite 
A few to drink this evening." 
"I did all right," the drunk says with a smile. 
"Did you know," says the cop, standing straight and 
Folding his arms across his chest, 
"that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?" 
"Oh, thank heavens," sighs the drunk. 
"For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf."

 

Brenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, 
When Tim Finnegan arrives at her door. 
"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. 
"I've somethin' to tell ya". 
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. 
But where's my husband?" 
"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda."
There was an accident down at the Guinnessbrewery..." 
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me." 
"I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus 
Is dead and gone. I'm sorry. 
Finally, she looked up at Tim. 
"How did it happen, Tim?"

"It was terrible, Brenda. He fell into a vat 
Of Guinness Stout and drowned."

"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me truth, Tim. 
Did he at least go quickly?"

"Well, Brenda... No. In fact, 
He got out three times to pee."

 

 

Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after 
His Sunday morning service, and she's in tears. 
He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?" 
She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. 
My husband passed away last night." 
The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible. 
Tell me, Mary, did he have any last requests?" 
She says, "That he did, Father." 
The priest says, "What did he ask, Mary? " 
She says, He said, 
'Please Mary, put down that damn gun...'

 

 

ANDTHE BEST FOR LAST

A drunk staggers into a Catholic Church, 
Enters a confessional booth, sits down, but says nothing. 
The Priest coughs a few times to get his 
Attention but the drunk continues to sit there. 
Finally, the Priest pounds three times on the wall. 
The drunk mumbles, "ain't no use knockin, 
there's no paper on this side either!"

Английский без проблемвыпуск 251, Fluffy died

Вторник, 28 Октября 2014 г. 13:10 + в цитатник

 

Fluffy died

This guy comes home from work one day to find his dog with the neighbor's pet rabbit in his mouth. The rabbit is dead and the guy panics. He thinks the neighbor is going to hate him forever, so he takes the dirty, chewed up rabbit into the house and gives it a bath, blow dries its fur and puts the rabbit back into the cage at the neighbor's house, hoping they will think it died of natural causes.

A few days later, the neighbor is outside and asks the guy, "Did you hear that Fluffy died?". The guy stumbles around and says, "Um.. er.. no.. what happened?". The neighbor replies, "We just found him dead in his cage one day. But the weird thing is that the day after we buried him, we went outside and someone had dug him up, gave him a bath and put him back into the cage. There must be some real sick people out there!"

LIFE WITHOUT SLEEP

For humans, sleep is not optional. After a long enough period of being awake, our brain starts to produce signals that we are tired. As these signals increase in strength, our brain becomes impaired. We all know what it’s like to feel tired to the point of exhaustion. We are less aware, unfocused, and more likely to have accidents. If we become too exhausted, we may even fall asleep on the spot. While most of the mechanisms of sleep remain a mystery to science, it’s common knowledge that everyone needs to sleep.

Well, almost everyone.

Very rarely, cases are found of people who stop needing to sleep. One peculiar case was that of a Hungarian soldier named Paul Kern. He fought during the First World War, and was hit in the head by a Russian bullet. The bullet penetrated the frontal lobe of his brain, but Paul miraculously survived. He woke up in a hospital in Budapest, and from that moment on, Paul never slept again.

Over the course of his life, many doctors examined Paul in an attempt to find the cause of his condition. However, in spite of having numerous x-ray examinations of his skull and brain, the exact cause of his condition was never fully explained. Even more incredibly, Paul did not exhibit any of the signs that are commonly present among people who suffer from insomnia. He was alert and aware, and his only complaint following the injury was the occasional headache. Paul went on to live without sleep for forty years following his injury, and when he finally died, it was of natural causes.

To this day, what happened in Paul’s brain remains a total mystery. It highlights how little we know about the human brain and its inner workings. How is it possible that a bullet ripping through one of the most complicated parts of the brain could suddenly turn off someone’s need to sleep? This accident has never been reproduced within the reported history of medical science. But perhaps one day we will discover what happened within Paul’s brain, and as strange as this may sound, maybe people will be given the choice of never needing to sleep again.
