• Martin Van Buren

     

    Marin Von Buren  was born in december 5th 1782 in Kindehook and died in july 24th 1882 in the state of New York.

    Van Buren was son of a tavernkeeper and a farmer. He was a very important man for the United State of America. He firstly was the tenth Secretary of State (1829-1831), then the eight Vice President (1833-1837) and finally the eight President of the United State of America (1837-1841).Van Buren has not British or Scot Irish descents : he was Dutch and his first language was also not English but Ducth.

    Van Buren started to be in politics since he was 17 years old. He always was a democrat .

    When he became president he had to deal with the "Panic of 1837", a financial crisis followed by five years of economic depression. Van Buren advocate lower tariffs and free trade to fix the situation.

    In the case of the famous boat Amistad, Van Buren asked to the Spanish government to return the kidnapped slaves. 

    He voted against the admission of Missouri as a slave state and was nominated to be president of the Free Soil Party , an anti-slavery political party. So, he was clearly an abolitionist.

    His entire political life was based on the struggle against economic crisis and slavery. One of his most well-known adversary was John Calhoun, who was candidate for the presidential election and in favor of slavery. About the economic aspect of his political lif, Martin Van Buren thought that the crisis was due to a "recklessness in business and overexpansion of credits". So he fought for the creation of an independent treasury system to deal with the government transactions and he was opposed to the creation of a new Bank of the United State.

    Martin Van Buren was finally defeated by the Whigs in 1840 for reelection, and was not elected to be president of the Free Oil Party in 1848.

Native of Vermont, Coolidge climbs up the ladder of the politics in the Massachusetts of which he became finally the republican governor. His actions during the strike of the police of Boston  in 1919 propelled him on the national stage. He was afterward elected a vice-president in 1920 then he reached the presidency after the Warren's sudden death G. Harding in 1923. He was reelected in 1924 and gained  a reputation of preservative and taciturn man.

    He rapidly became popular. In 1924, as the beneficiary of what was becoming known as "Coolidge prosperity," he polled more than 54 percent of the popular vote. As President, Coolidge demonstrated his determination to preserve the old moral and economic precepts amid the material prosperity which many Americans were enjoying. He refused to use Federal economic power to check the growing boom or to ameliorate the depressed condition of agriculture and certain industries 

    The nomination of Coolidge in 1925 was the first one(night) to be broadcast on the radio as well as its State of the Union Address of December 6th 1923142.

Coolidge was the only president to have been represented in his/her lifetime on a coin

  • QUIZ! The winner win nothing !

    I'm a country which wins more and more power in the world. My purpose is to compete the United States and to become the new superpower. I adhere more and more to the capitalism by wanting to make more and more profits. I shall have to fight the corruption, serve my people and fight tax havens. But, capitals were found on the island of Tortora, the capital of British Virgin Islands, considered as a tax haven. Who I am ? China or the pot calling the kettle black.
    China is THE FAIL OF THE WEEK ... (fake communist)

  • Alfred Sauvy has say "The Humanity is didacted to the progress for life". And he was raison, because China has built a new nuclear missile.

    A lot of pictures showing an intercontinental ballistic missile with nuclear capacity of rather long impact to affect the United States were published this week by the Chinese Army. According to the specialist, this missile can travel 8 000 km, It's very dangerous for China to have a nuclear missille like that. This missile was tested in The Chinese Sea, between China and Japon.

  • The House of the Rising Sun is an american folk song whose origin is unknown. Some people think that the song was written by a couple from Kentucky (Georgia Turner and Bert Martin).

    This song is one of the most covered since the XXth century. The meaning of the lyrics is submit to a controversy because the expression "Rising Sun" was commonly used like a euphemism to talk about brothel. But according to some people, "the Rising Sun" was a prison for women in New Orleans. That would probably explain the expression "ball and chain" at the end of the song.

    When you search "the house of the rising sun lyrics" in google, the first answer will be the version of the band The Animal, released in 1964. Those lyrics are quite correct copairing to the originals except for one detail :

    "There is a house in New Orleans
    They call the Rising Sun
    And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    And God, I know I'm one "


    In fact in the original version, the song is the testimony of a young woman. But many bands like Muse (2010) or The Walls of Jericho (2008) changed the lyrics in a lot of different ways.

    My three favorite covers are the version of Nina Simone(1962):

    the version of Lauren O'Connel (2013):

    and the version of the White Buffalo (2011):

  • An artist has choose to take picture from food and to put some little men next to it.
    It create a scene. It is very funny. When we look closer at this scene we can see that every character has so much details.
    You musn't waste food, but in case of art and imagination like that you can, I'll hope that your Mother will be proud of you. :-)
    If someone take a picture like that i will give him a small gift.


    Let's go !

  •      On December 29th at about 11 AM, Michael Schumacher who went skiing with his fourteen years old son, fell on a stone in a off-piste area of Meribel. His situation is now critical. He is still in an artificial coma. The police station opened a case to know the reason of Schumacher to do off-piste. He had an medical intervention and should have been bought back to life. The doctors of the Grenoble's University Hospital hold a press conference on the purpose to indicate that the vital pronostic of the german ex-pilot of forty-four years old is engaged. One of the doctor even say that " He's helmet saved his life, without it, he coudn't be transported at time at the hospital." Somes questions remained about the subject : what will be the consequence for the ex-pilot further to a cranial trauma ?

         On December 31st, Michael Schumacher had a second medical intervention and it seems that his situation is a little bit better but he remains fragile. After the investigation, we learnt that Michael Schumacher went on a off-piste only for helping someone who fell. He is at his third week of artificial coma. We dont have any information. 

     

    Schumacher, between life and death

    We can wonder to ourselves : How is it strange that a man who was a many time Formula one world champion and who risked his life to do what it became his passion, can be right now in a critical situation because of having skiing in a off-piste ?

  • The last week, U.S knew a cold spell, the coldest for 20 years. The cold winds and the snow made fallen the temparature in less of 50 degres Celsus. United States declared the red alert and ask everything for the inhabitants to stay at home and to go out only for urgent reasons. Airports, as in Toronto, and feroviaires stations are blocked until that the situation stabilizes.

    An historic cold in U.S
