Diez motivos por los que los rusos sonríen tan poco He aquí algunas de las singularidades de la sonrisa rusa: 1. Sonrisa con la boca pequeña En Rusia, muchas veces la sonrisa no se hace sólo con los labios, sino que a veces se muestra ligeramente la parte superior de los dientes; enseñar los dientes superiores e inferiores al sonreír se considera vulgar; a esa sonrisa se la denomina “sonrisa de caballo”. 2. La sonrisa en la comunicación rusa no es una muestra de educación. 3. Los rusos no sonríen a los extraños. 4. No es costumbre en Rusia responder a una sonrisa con otra sonrisa. 5. Cuando los rusos sonríen indican una disposición particular hacia un individuo. 6. Los rusos no sonríen cuando están trabajando o haciendo algo serio. 7. Expresión de un excelente estado de ánimo o de una buena disposición hacia el interlocutor. En la comunicación rusa hay una regla: la sonrisa debe ser un reflejo sincero de buen humor y de buena relación. 8. Un ruso, para sonreír, debe tener una razón de peso que sea evidente para los otros. 9. 10.
Some Racist Bullies Picked A Fight With An 11-Year-Old Kid And Lost In Glorious Patriotic Splendor So this amazing kid, Sebastien De La Cruz, a mariachi singer from the last season of "America's Got Talent," was asked at the last moment to sing the national anthem in the town he was born and raised in, San Antonio, Texas, USA, for the NBA Finals. He wore his mariachi outfit, which led to every xenophobic and ignorant person on Twitter saying some truly insipid, vile, racist things. Fortunately for us, he handles such things with typical can-do American spirit. It only takes him 22 seconds to slap the ignorance right off their faces, in the classiest way possible (see the last video at the bottom). First came the truly stunning rendition of the national anthem that he busted out. Next came the special people with the blinding ignorance and xenophobia, courtesy of the Public Shaming Tumblr. No, it's ironic how truly American this kid really is. It's totally up to you, but I'd love it if you shared this if you think we need to elevate the immigration debate in this country.

Don’t support an industry that treats sheep as disposable and not as the smart, sensitive, dignified animals they are. I Never Thought I'd Want To High-Five A Teacher For Yelling At A Student, But I Was Wrong I know this is on the long-ish side, but I promise that there's a really valuable message here that makes it worth watching all the way through. Jane Elliot is a teacher and diversity trainer who developed the "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise to teach students what it feels like to be a person of color. This video begins pretty abruptly, where one of the students who's been singled out based on eye color is extremely frustrated. At 2:46, Elliot explains why she keeps going even after she's made the point. At 3:35, she delivers an important message. And at 10:05, you may laugh a little, but I think you'll really get it. Many years ago, I could have been the girl who walked out, not understanding how this feels to the people it affects. A partial transcript from a very powerful portion of the video, beginning at 3:19: Elliot: “No. Student: “I’m sorry there’s racism in this country..." Elliot: “Bullshit! Student: “I will not apologize because it’s not a matter of race always...” Elliot: “Out.”
Rothschild se hace con el 100% de una patente al desaparecer sus socios en el avión perdido. ¿Casualidad? | elsilenciodelaverdad Jacob Rothschild Cuatro días después de que el vuelo MH370 desapareciese, una patente de semiconductores fue aprobada por la oficina de patentes de EEUU, haciéndose Jacob Rothschild con el 100% de la misma. Cuatro de los cinco titulares de la patente son empleados chinos de Freescale Semiconductor, de Austin, Texas.La patente se divide en 20% incrementos entre cinco titulares.Estos son: Peidong Wang, Sozhou, China, Zhijun Chen, Suzhou, China, Zhijong Cheng. Si el titular de la patente muere, entonces el resto de los titulares igualmente comparten los dividendos del fallecido si no se disputa en un testamento previo la muerte. Si 4 de 5 mueren, entonces el titular de la patente restante consigue el 100% de los derechos propietarios de la patente. El titular restante de la patente es Freescale Semiconductor que pertenece a Blackstone Inc. que a su vez pertenece a Jacob Rothschild. Los cuatro titulares chinos de la patente estaban en el avión desaparecido. ¿Quienes son los Rothschild? Me gusta:
A 4-Year-Old Girl Asked A Lesbian If She's A Boy. She Responded The Awesomest Way Possible. Ash Beckham: I'm going to talk to you tonight about coming out of the closet. And not in the traditional sense, not just the gay closet. I think we all have closets. So within a matter of weeks, it happens again, "Are you a boy or are you a girl?" It was the easiest hard conversation that I have ever had. At some point in our lives, we all live in closets and they make us feel safe, or at least safer than what lies on the other side of that door. So why is coming out of any closet, why is having that conversation, why is it so hard? When you do not have hard conversations, when you keep the truth about yourself a secret, you're essentially holding a grenade. And I had a choice in that moment, as all grenade throwers do. If you want someone to be real with you, they need to know that you bleed too. Thank you Boulder. There may be small errors in this transcript.
President Obama Speaks on Immigration Reform East Room THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. Please have a seat, everybody. Good morning, and welcome to the White House. Today I’m here with leaders from business, from labor, from faith communities who are united around one goal -- finishing the job of fixing a broken immigration system. This is not just an idea whose time has come; this is an idea whose time has been around for years now. Now, it’s no secret that the American people haven’t seen much out of Washington that they like these days. Even with the shutdown over, and the threat of default eliminated, Democrats and Republicans still have some really big disagreements -- there are some just fundamentally different views about how we should move forward on certain issues. We should be able to work together on a responsible budget that invests in the things that we need to grow our economy and create jobs even while we maintain fiscal discipline. Everybody knows that our current immigration system is broken.
Even The Daily Show Was Shocked by This Racist GOP Leader's Responses You already have to do that in NC. It's already the law that you have to show ID when you vote in a new district or vote for the first time. But the rules for proving who you are used to be much more fair and egalitarian. Because 1. Also, take this example from Pennsylvania in 2012: The razor-thin majority Republican legislature pass a voter ID law that created a group of hundreds of thousands of eligible voters without the necessary ID. They offered a special ID for voting which was "free", but the process to collect the documentation to get proper ID cost, on average, more than $60 (not including travel and time away from work), but even worse,Neutral third-party observers determined that, given the hours and resources that the state government put into the offices that issued proper IDs, it would be physically impossible for those offices to process all the applications necessary to re-enfranchise every voter without ID before Election Day.

Leonardo Da Vinci's wacky piano is heard for the first time, after 500 years Take a bow: The viola organista's strings are played in the same way as a cello. Photo: Tomasz Wiech/AFP A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance genius who painted the Mona Lisa, invented the ‘‘viola organista’’ - which looks like a baby grand piano – but never built it, experts say. The viola organista has now come to life, thanks to a Polish concert pianist with a flair for instrument-making and the patience and passion to interpret da Vinci’s plans. Full of steel strings and spinning wheels, Slawomir Zubrzycki’s creation is a musical and mechanical work of art. Advertisement ‘‘This instrument has the characteristics of three we know: the harpsichord, the organ and the viola da gamba,’’ Zubrzycki said as he debuted the instrument at the Academy of Music in the southern Polish city of Krakow. The flat bed of its interior is lined with golden spruce.
