Чудеса физики в волгограде

Мост в Волгограде вошел в резонанс

Стебная причина №1

Стебная песенка №2

Львов тяготеет к ширине

Сначала на Левандовской классный 4х полосный мост, который находится на двухполосной дороге,

 

теперь кольцо на Кульпарковской с тремя полосами движения которые со всех сторон упираются в двополосные ряды.

Итого - ты едешь по траектории которая ранее была крайняя правая, а еще правее тебя, конечно же, оказывается таксист,

который не помещается в двухрядку, находится правее тебя и дико фафакает...

Как вырасти успешным гражданином страны

Lying children will grow up to be successful citizens

The earlier a child starts telling convincing lies the more likely they are to be a success in later life, new research suggests

 

 

 

Researchers have found that the ability to tell fibs at the age of two is a sign of a fast developing brain and means they are more likely to have successful lives.

 

They found that the more plausible the lie, the more quick witted they will be in later years and the better their abiliy to think on their feet.

It also means that they have developed "executive function" - the ability to invent a convincing lie by keeping the truth at the back of their mind.

“Parents should not be alarmed if their child tells a fib,” said Dr Kang Lee, director of the Institute of Child Study at Toronto Universit who carried out the research.

“Almost all children lie. Those who have better cognitive development lie better because they can cover up their tracks. They may make bankers in later life.”

 

Lying involves multiple brain processes, such as integrating sources of information and manipulating the data to their advantage.

It is linked to the development of brain regions that allow “executive functioning” and use higher order thinking and reasoning.

Dr Lee and his team tested 1,200 children aged two to 16 years old.

A majority of the volunteers told lies but it is the children with better cognitive abilities who can tell the best lies.

At the age of two, 20 per cent of children will lie. This rises to 50 per cent by three and almost 90 per cent at four. The most deceitful age, they discovered, was 12, when almost every child tells lies.

 

The tendency starts to fall away by the age of 16, when it is 70 per cent.

As adulthood approaches, young people learn instead to use the less harmful “white lies” that everyone tells to avoid hurting people’s feelings.

Researchers say there is no link between telling fibs in childhood and any tendency to cheat in exams or to become a fraudster later in life.

Nor does strict parenting or a religious upbringing have any impact.

 

Dr Lee said that catching your children lying was not a bad hing but should be exploited as a " "teachable moment".

“You shouldn’t smack or scream at your child but you should talk about the importance of honesty and the negativity of lying," he told the Sunday Times.

"After the age of eight the opportunities are going to be very rare.”

 

The research team invited younger children — one at a time — to sit in a room with hidden cameras. A soft toy was placed behind them.

When the researcher briefly left the room, the children were told not to look. In nine out of 10 cases cameras caught them peeking.

But when asked if they had looked, they almost always said no. They tripped themselves up when asked what they thought the toy might be.

One little girl asked to place her hand underneath a blanket that was over the toy before she answered the question. After feeling the toy but not seeing it, she said: “It feels purple so it must be Barney.”

 

Dr Lee, who caught his son Nathan, three, looking at the toy, said: “We even had cameras trained on their knees because we thought their legs would fidget if they were telling a lie, but it isn’t true.”

Older children were set a test paper but were told they must not look at the answers printed on the back.

 

Some of the questions were easy, such as who lives in the White House. But the children who looked at the back gave the printed answer “Presidius Akeman” to the bogus question “Who discovered Tunisia?”

When asked how they knew this, some said they learnt it in a history class

Национально-тендерно-автомобильное

Разработчики электронной базы автомобилей для ГАИ использовали её для бесплатной «растаможки» элитных автомобилей. Об этом в интервью  рассказал министр внутренних дел Анатолий Могилев.

«Выяснилось, что разработчики электронной базы данных автомобилей ГАИ имели в нее доступ. Так без прохождения «растаможки», без нашего ведома в базу попадали, становились на учет иномарки класса «Ламборджини». Без уплаты налогов, разумеется. Как это получилось? Сейчас выясняем», – заявил Могилев.

БЕЗ ГМО (тм)

в Німеччині виявили отруту діоксин в яйцях курей, яких годували кукурудзою з України.

Німецькі мережі супермаркетів Rewe та Lidl вилучили партії курячих яєць з маркуванням "біо", в яких виявили діоксин.

9 мая

Радует, что хоть на 65-летие ветераны получили праздник. С каждым годом их становится все меньше.

В этом году по крайней мере, парад получился достойным. Можно сказать лучшим за последние лет семь.

 

P.S.

Прибытие Януковича на представителе трофейного автопрома улыбнуло =)

 

Внимание:Научная

"Научную" вчера-позавчера "провесили" знаками. Появились новые кирпичи, одностороннее движение, остановка запрещена.

 

В частности - Научная-В.Великого - появились явно указанные "односторонние" улицы. Например на заезде с научной на шиномонтаж уже стоит кирпич.

Так же в районе Нептуна (Научная-Симоненка) боковые улочки идущие вдоль Научной, и использующиеся до этого в две стороны - так же стали односторонними.

Lada is back in UK

Those who drove them always pointed out how cheap they were to buy. Everyone else made jokes about tin cans on wheels.

Now, after a 13-year absence, the Lada is coming back to Britain.

The byword for budget motoring from the 1980s is being relaunched within the next two years as a credit-crunch cruiser.

This time, Soviet Russia's infamous car for the masses will be backed by Renault's money and expertise.

Lada (UK) closed in 1997, and until now the cars have only been available as imports.

The new version is one of a number of cheap cars likely to be on sale for less than £5,000, undercutting some budget brands from Japan and Korea which have done well in the economic downturn

До чего дошел прогресс (ц)

Уже можно смело вместо телевизора брать.

"

The company claims that their new VX2739wm is the world's first 27" Full HD monitor with a 1ms response time, which makes it perfect for use with game consoles and even PCs. Modern day titles usually require fast response rates in order to avoid "ghosting," and this 1080p display is meant to eliminate just that. There's also a 100,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio, SRS Premium Sound and a price tag that would make anyone look twice: $349

Автомобильное -2

Подібний інцидент зафіксували і на трасі Красноград - Новомосковськ. Там міліція піймала 3-х чоловіків, які були вдягнуті у формений одяг, схожий на форму правоохоронців. В автомобілі у них знайшли макет вимірювача швидкості.

Як розповіли в ДАІ, пристрій виглядав дуже кумедно: звичайний фен для волосся був обмотаний ізоляційною стрічкою, до нього приєднано велосипедний спідометр. Цим "суперрадаром" чоловіки зупиняли машини "порушників швидкості".

В обласному управлінні ДАІ зазначають: це не вперше співробітники ДАІ затримують псевдопатрульних.

Щоб не стати жертвою злочину, водіям радять уважно розглядати інспекторів ДАІ, які їх зупиняють, та вимагати документи.

Також в ДАІ застерігають автовласників: не варто зупинятись на вимогу сторонніх осіб, так званих екологічних патрулів чи представників козацьких організацій, - вони не уповноважені інспектувати дорожній рух
