Louis Buñuel, El Ángel exterminador (1962) [1], [2]



В прошлый раз смотрел еще в Спартаке. Этого фильма нет не то что в Нетфликсе, а и вообще в Америке! Мы купили с рук на Амазоне во второй зоне, и незаконно просмотрели среди иллинойских прерий на межрегиональном DVD-плееере.

Задача: у Ивана Петровича есть два никеля. На сколько пенни может обменять эти монеты Иван Петрович?

Моя дочь решает: как известно, один никель -- это пять центов. Несложно подсчитать, что два никеля составляют десять центов. С другой стороны, один пенни равен одному центу. Следовательно, в ответ запишем цифру 2.
- Почему два?
- Было две монетки, их и поменяли на две монетки.

Это свободный рынок. Как договоришься, так и будет.

Chicago Tribune -- Martha Padilla-Ramos and Jose Barrera fondly remember the long car rides south to Mexico each December when they were children. At the end of the trek awaited their cousins, delicious food, trips to church and days of parties to celebrate Christmas.

It was a beloved part of their childhood, so the Chicago-area school administrators understand why [Mexican] families make the annual trek to their homelands. But they can't understand why so many families -- an estimated 10 percent of the Hispanic students in Waukegan, for example -- plan these trips to last a month or more, far beyond the traditional two-week holiday break Illinois schools allow.

Although most local schools are holding classes through Friday, many of [Mexican] families already have been gone a week or more. In addition to falling behind in their schoolwork, educators said, the students are in danger of being labeled truant and could perform poorly on standardized tests that help determine if their schools meet federal No Child Left Behind guidelines.

Two schoolchildren were particularly inspiring. One, in the wake of difficulty, pulled up his chair, rubbed his hands together, smacked his lips and said, “I love a challenge!” The other, also confronting the hard problems, looked up at the experimenter and approvingly declared, “I was hoping this would be informative!” Predictably, the students with this attitude outperformed their cohorts in these studies.

Когда-то в детстве я мечтал разбогатеть и выписать домой Scientific American.

Slashdot -- "Toshiba has developed a new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that is designed to power individual apartment buildings or city blocks. The new reactor, which is only 20 feet by 6 feet, could change everything for small remote communities, small businesses or even a group of neighbors who are fed up with the power companies and want more control over their energy needs."
