According to recent statistics, a third of companies aren't planning on hosting the traditional office Christmas Party this year, amidst concerns about legal action due to drunken antics and so forth. While I can safely say there are many more office safety risks during a party than the rest of the year (most offices just aren't built for that level of snacks, alcohol and cheesy music), with a little thinking ahead the...more

Fundamentally, an American football team is composed of two entirely different elements, the defensive team and the offense, which strives to score touchdowns by entering the opposing team's "end zone". This is worth 6 points that can be increased by after-scoring kick, which adds one point. An alternative way to score by kicking is by choosing to relinquish trying for a touch down and opting to kick a field goad, worth 3 points. The defensive team attempts to block scoring.The game begins with an arbitrary coin toss, whereupon the winning team decides whether to go first or let his opponent have the first try at scoring. Why do this? Many teams like to get a look at the opposition's offense first. The team is then given a set of 4 "downs" or attempts to traverse 10 yards. Having successfully done this, they receive another set of downs and in this way they make it toward the opposing end zone. If the team falls to make the 10 yards it must turnover the ball to the opposing team, who will then start its journey from the exact position on the field. However, to put the opposing team at a disadvantage, the offensive team will usually choose to punt on the 3rd...more

On me demande souvent des explications sur la signification des objets africains !Et, bien souvent, j'ai beaucoup de mal à répondre tant les questions qu'on me pose sont rationnelles et cartésiennes !Alors, autant vous le dire tout de suite, le mot « comprendre » que j'ai utilisé dans le titre est complètement erroné : Avec l'art africain, on ne peut que tenter de sentir :Il y a entre les africains et nous deux différences fondamentales :- Ils n'ont pas connu Descartes, le cartésianisme et, par suite, le rationalisme ; ils n'ont pas comme nous le réflexe de vouloir trouver une explication à chaque chose, à chaque action… Ils sont capables d'accepter une idée, un concept, sans chercher systématiquement la cause. Ils sont capables d'accepter la magie comme un fait là où nous ne voulons plus croire qu'à la science ! (Il faut garder à l'esprit, quand on parle d'arts premiers, la théorie des trois stades de l'humanité développée par Turgot : L'humanité évolue du stade théologique vers le stade métaphysique, puis vers le stade scientifique ou positiviste. La culture apparaît...more
