A provocative tittle for a provocative subject. We could imagine that the children of our friends will not being attending to school, but will only switch their digital tablets on and work from 8. am to 5. p with on-line exercise automatically checked. Why not ? We can find clues in our real world that […]

Have you read “Globalia” ? It’s a dystopic novel written by Jean-Christophe Ruffin. To me, our world could be like that in 2050. Let me tell you more about this dark vision. It is the totalitarian form which has asserted itself in the ‘protected’ zones of Globalia. Globalia makes excessive use of the rhetoric of […]
Why Capoeira ? I don’t know. But I want to share with you this great experiment. First, to initiate yourself to it, just watch this video (and don’t imagine myself doing this, even it’s funny, because I can’t do it yet).
The Capoeira is a brazilian martial art. It was created by slaves brought to Brazil from Africa, during the colonial period. People were brought from Angola, Congo and Mozambique, and with them, they brought their cultural traditions. They hid their martial art and traditions into a form of dance. The African people developed capoeira not only to resist oppression, but also for the survival of their culture and the lifting of their spirits. After slavery, they continued to play capoeira. With no employment, many of them turned to gangs. Quickly capoeira was associated with crime and in 1892 became outlawed in Brazil. If a person was caught for practicing the art, they were punished by cutting the tendons of the back of their feet. A rhythm, called cavalaria, was created as an alarm that warned them of police. People that played capoeira had nicknames to hide their identity from the police. In my group, they all have nicknames. This tradition is still kept
Why I like capoeira ? More that a sport, it’s an entire culture. Thanks to my master, I’m learning portuguese(which is really hard, by the way ! I can’t remember the name of the movements!). I discover also brazilian music. WHen we are fighting, other members of the group are always playing music and singing songs. I’m supposed to sing with them ( I made a great playback you know).
I hope one day, I will be one of them. Because now, I’m just trying to survive to the hard training, each Wednesday night.

This sentence comes from the Antic times. It’s something to think about because, even if it’s a very simple sentence, it’s more complicated than it looks like. Here is the english translation of this latin words : ” If you want peace, prepare for war”. First, the sentence imply that peace is closely related to […]

Here we are : the second tentative to describe myself. This video ist best because you don’t see me a lot in. I let you discover (and if you are passionate by what I said, you’ll find the transcription of my beautiful speech just before)… Here we are. Speaking about me. The hardest thing of […]
1. Post negative things about your employer on your Facebook page, like this poor guy fired by Apple. This rule is specially to follow when your company has codified links between yours own social networks and your enterprise in your hiring contract.
2. Let’s your colleagues film you when you’re working and post it on YouTube. Here is the video of an (ex) Domino’s employee. You’ll never eat pizza again.
3. Post photos of yourself drinking on your Facebook profile while you are friends with people working with you. Take the example of Ashley Payne, a teacher in Barrow County, Georgia, who was asked to resign from her job at Apalachee High School in August 2009 because of photographs and status updates she posted to Facebook. They showed her drinking alcohol and one update used an expletive. Payne was on vacation in Europe and some of her photographs included her visits to the Guinness Brewery and a local pub in Dublin.Payne’s Facebook page was private, however she had friended some other teachers in her school. When the principal found out about the photos, she was told to render her resignation or face suspension.
4. Tweet with your enterprise Twitter account something which has to be tweeted with you personal account. Take a look to this accidentally tweet of Chrysler Auto. Chrysler later admitted that the errant tweet was sent by an employee of the social media agency that handles the Chrysler account.
5. Blogging about your professional life and involve your work in your posts, like Heather B. Amstrong did. She was fired because she talked about coworkers, her boss and even her customers. Her boss felt this behavior was unacceptable and was fired.
6. Sending weird e-mails to your co-coworkers with your professional system. Take example on the three employees of the Iowa Civil Rights Commission who were fired after their boss discovered thousands of gossipy emails attacking coworkers and assigning them derogatory nicknames.
Go here take a look a this TV report to heard some delicious nicknames they game to their co-workers !
7. Be catched by your boss when you play to the on-line game “Lazy at work” which the aim is to do some shopping without being caught by your boss.
8. Be friend with your boss on Facebook and complaint about him. It’s a very quick way to be fired, in front of all your Facebook friends (at least, you will not have to annouce it).
9. Posting yourself a video on Youtube laughing about your enterprise. It’s funnier if you sing, and wear nothing but your apron.
10. Confuse private and public messages on Twitter, like Rainn Wilson did. Just before this star of TV series The Office tweeted his endorsement of Del Taco, he instructed his assistant to tell the company he would accept $12,000 for what appears to be a paid plug on Twitter.

Did you heard about this ? Every year, the Hellfest made a lot of NOISEEEE in the field of Clisson, a little village in Brittany. Here’s a little taste of we miss last year. Last year, 80 000 fans of metal went to this huge festival which has a reputation crossing the french frontier. The […]
The decision to sell one’s body cannot be taken lightly. But for many mothers the alternative is to condemn their children to hunger, which is why “increasing numbers of women in their thirties, who are victims of the crisis, are resorting to prostitution,” said Ines Fontinha, head of the Associacion O Ninho (Nest Association).
Xana, a typist before the crisis, now works as a prostitute.
Up until 2010, according to Portuguese NGOs, there were 28,000 sex workers in this country of 10.6 million people. Half of them were born in Portugal, and the other half were mainly Brazilians, Rumanians, Bulgarians and Nigerians, who were usually victims of human trafficking rings. What causes a woman to become a sex worker? IPS asked two women who took up the life because of the crisis.
The unemployment rate currently stands at 13 percent, according to official figures, and between 17 and 18 percent according to the trade unions. This women had no choice but prostitute for survive.
We always talk of financial crisis in abstract terms, as it’s only concerns bankers and traders. But it doesn’t. All that is trading in Wall street has huge repercussion on people life. I think that notation agencies have no idea of the consequences of their “bad notes” on real people’s life.
Here’s my note for Moody’s : ZZZZZ. I think that this women will note the same.
