Presidential Results 2012: Beware of numbers!

As in every election, the results fall, and they are represented as percentages of the votes cast. So we see on our big screen HD a result of 20% for Marine Lepen. Some people then began to think that 1 in 5 is French National Front sympathizer. What seems very disturbing, but what is especially wrong!

You have to put this 20% in context: In fact, there are 20% of French voters (45 million to 65 million French), among those who vote (80% of those 45 million, or 36 million) which Marine Lepen voted.

Approximately 7.2 million French, that is about 11% of the total population.

We can therefore ashamed of the score of the candidate of the extreme right, but we must not take this 20% for what they are not.

Here is a graph showing the results of the election, taking into account the non-voters and abstentions:

All numbers quoted here are approximate and based on estimates Ipsos results to 20h on 22/04. Base: 65 million French, 45 million voters

In speaking with some colleagues, I realized that none of them regularly consulted blogging BD. Yet when I've shown them some, they immediately become fans!

Hence this post in which I will present those I consult regularly:

1. Boulet . The BD incontournable.L blog author settles on his blog "notes", planks of a page (sometimes longer) telling stories about his daily life. It's often very funny, sometimes with the added touch of philosophy. The author tested various graphic styles, the result is usually successful. A visit once a week.
2. Martin Vidberg . This school teacher described the news, at a rate of about one bubble per day comic. Simple and effective! The graphic style is very entertaining in itself: all the characters are shaped potato, of "potato". Each personality (Show-business or politics) has its caricature "patatisée." A visit once a day.
3. Marion Montaigne . This blogger, in his blog "you will die less stupid", explains science through a zany character, Professor mustache (which is a girl with a mustache). From fun boards, it is possible to learn some very interesting things. The author often travels to meet researchers about their work places, and sources are always quoted in his notes. We can only regret the low frequency of releases! A visit once a month.
4. Navo . This guy is behind the biggest scam of the business of comics in recent years. And he boasts. He invented the comic strip not (BPD for short) , ie a comic strip without drawing ...! Only bubbles, boxes of 3. The concept may sound stupid, yet the result is often very funny. However, very hard (not for the sensitive). Note that the author is also part of a group of stand-up (at Jamel Comedy Club), named fuck Club, worth the trip every Monday evening in Paris!

That is, if you know you also to discover comics blogs, I'm interested in the comments!

In recent days, you probably have friends who put this kind of alcoholic status on Facebook. What is the significance?

Vodka: I `ma woman That can` t find the right man
Whisky: I `ma single woman with friends That goal won` t stop partying
Liquor: I `ma woman wishes That She Was Single.
Gin: I `ma woman wants to get married That
Tequila: I `ma single woman
Rum: I `ma woman touch and go
Champagne: I `m an embrace engaged woman
Redbull: I `ma woman in a relationship
Beer I'm the "other one"

Or French:

Vodka: I am a woman who can not find her prince charming
Whisky: I am a single woman, but my friends are partying all the time
Liquor: I am a woman who would rather be single
Gin: I am a woman who wants to get married
Tequila: I am a single woman
Rum: I'm an easy girl
Champagne: I am a woman betrothed
Redbull: I couple
Beer: I'm "something else"

That is, if you are a woman you want, you can now put your status update

Doodle-doo! The French may lose in football, but they are the world champions of productivity!

With a GDP / capita of $ 36.500 for an average of 1,453 hours worked per year, they are the most productive workers in the world: $ 25.10 / hour. Besides, Americans have a GDP of $ 24.60 / person / hour.

George Clooney young

Charlize Theron young

Funny is not it? (Especially the hairstyle of George Clooney and Charlize Theron's glasses). Would have these two then we give their secrets for aging as well.

I found these photos on a slideshow of Allocine , which contains not less than 50 youth portrait of famous actors (Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt, Sharon Stone, Sarah Jessica Parker to name the best known). Some are really worth to take a look.

Recently using the Javascript framework comprehensive to ExtJS (3.2.1) to work in a fairly complex PHP application (based on Zend Framework), one of the first questions that came in the team was: "Is Can I make multiple calls to the function Ext.onReady? "

The answer was not so easy to find. On different forums, opinions were divided (Some advised against multiply Ext.onReady calls, but never explained why).

Finally, I found this document , in which it is written that the Ext.onReady function saves only the methods to execute when the DOM elements on the page are loaded. These functions are then stacked in the order in which you call them. Question: By calling several times Ext.onReady, all functions will they be added to the same stack?

Answer: yes.

I tested a page where 100 calls (let's be crazy) to the Ext.onReady function were performed, each of these calls a manager object. No problems reported, and the page seemed as fast as loading the 100 objects in a single function Ext.onReady.

This can be good to know if you plan to use ExtJS in MVC applications to multiple modules.
