Let's count Lies
I could read this blog, the biggest lies in the history of which rescue 10:
1. Bin Laden was not the first to attack the U.S. in its own territory. The "merit" it corresponds to Pancho Villa, who cross the Rio Grande in 1916 and attacked the city of Columbus, New Mexico, where it killed seven people. The invasion lasted less than ten hours.
2. The three caravels Columbus were only two. The pint and the girl. For the third ship that participated in the discovery of America was a nao, other larger boat. Her name was Maria Galante, but Columbus renamed the Santa Maria.
3. The Witches of Salem were burned at the stake. But nobody thinks that the pardoned. In reality were hanged, which was the penalty that communities Protestants and Calvinists used to dictate to the cases of witchcraft.
4. Napoleon was not so short. In fact, average 1.68 cm., A height acceptable to his time, and even exceeded by 4cm to the Duke of Wellington, his great enemy.
5. In Casablanca, Bogart never pronounced the sentence: "Play it again, Sam." In fact, the exact phrase is: "Play it Sam, Play As Time Goes By," and recited Ingrid Bergman. To finish to ruin the myth, to which the actor Sam (Dooley Wilson) just sang, as they did not know playing the piano. The accompaniment was incorporated in the study.
6. The Vikings were not wearing helmets with horns. It was an invention of the Swedish painter Gustav Malström in illustrations he did in 1820 for the epic poem Frithiof `s Saga. The purpose of these horns was unrealistic to portray the fierce warriors of the North as being almost demonic.
7. The war of 100 years, actually lasted 116 of 1337 to 1453, the year in which the kings of England and France (countries in conflict) brought an end to hostilities.
8. The Boston strangler, Albert de Salvo, not strangled their victims. At least, not at all. Only in this way murderer of the first, in contrast to the kill another twelve strokes or stabbed.
9. George Washington was not the first U.S. president When the American revolution in 1714, a commission of notables elected Peyton Randolph, so provision for that post. After his resignation, eight people served as presidents in office until 1789, when it was finally passed the American Constitution and held the first elections for the post, in which Washington was finally chosen.
10. Walt Disney did not draw and never knew any of his famous design characters. For many years it was said that Mickey Mouse had been set up by, but now we know that was the exclusive work of the cartoonist Ub Wickers who left Disney to share the blame for a return favor.
But if there is one thing on which to lie always, is on the salary of each. Few things are as elastic in this world. If we asked the neighbor, as we pay our monthly gross salary is between 12 and whether to ask for some help or to lament, we take the net and divide it among 14.
Normal that we see in so many ways mileuristas, because within that group we can put both those charged in 12 pay € 900 (€ 10,800 net annually), as they receive in 1100 € 16 (€ 17,600 net annually).
So posts to believe someone, we will do so when we INE said the average wage rose by 4% in 2007 to € 20,157 annually, with some interesting data.
The activities highlighted by financial and energy to be the biggest salaries and wages paid to its workers and those who took higher cost in social benefits
For autonomous communities, labor costs were higher Madrid (32,576 euros), while Extremadura had the lowest (22,297 euros).
What is clear is that with inflation of 5% of the current wage increases will seem insufficient to us and make us lose purchasing power.
As for the accounts of the day, we have the Telefónica which won 3593 million in the first half (beating market forecasts).
The group, chaired Cesar Alierta said that the outcome of the first half are in line with the objectives of the group of marked growth for the whole year, dissipating in this way that the alarms had missed the cut after a forecast of Vodafone.
Article of the Day scaremonger always comes from the sensational Cotizalia, with the following item: The corralito threat prodigious Spain or the decade ahead. But the article points out some very important differences between the Spanish and Argentine.
Neither the level of banking (size and supervision), nor the development of local financial markets, or the internationalization of our business, nor the flexibility of public accounts, nor the structure of monetary debt, not even the level of Corruption can be established, starting, equivalence.
Busting this dose of realism:
The severe adjustment that must be made in Spain and it is imperative that any attempt to put a brake through various methods, internal or external, for the application of moral hazard is a major mistake that does nothing more than delaying in time the solution the problems
And finally, proof that the crisis is getting very tough: The U.S. porn industry of pastes the Gatillazo before the crisis. Does the fault?. Among other ... Del oil!
The truth is that when we talk about the hike in oil prices can only think of the shells of cars but the fact is that the cost of black gold passes bill at all levels. In fact, for a study of pornographic material, the $ 4 per gallon it costs to feed a car, greatly increases distribution costs of DVDs, whose casings are also made of a material derived from petroleum.
Urgent Update: CPI rises to advance by 5.3% in July.
This rate of 5.3% is the highest recorded since January 1997 when the NSI began to develop this series.
In closing today at 11:15 we'll know at last the average Euribor July.

# 1, Mano H20
Hello everyone:
I want to add another big lie.
July is going and I suppose that many holidays starting tomorrow. With some luck. But finally, after eleven months of Curran, it appears that asks the body a rest. I at least am one of those who yearn for eleven months, the arrival of the month in which you graves to Bartolo, break times, doing of all or nothing, and, finally, you've just more tired than when you work, but "OTHERWISE."
I have searched this morning in a Wikipedia definition of "Productivity" and reads as follows:
"Productivity, also known generically as efficiency is defined as the ratio between output produced by a system of production or services and resources used to obtain it. It can also be defined as the ratio between results and the time taken to obtain them: the shorter the time leading to obtain the desired result, the system is more productive. "
The reason for this search is the next article: "Minors under 26 years are the least productive workers"
http://www.elmundo.es/mundodinero/2008/07/30/economia/1217425184.html?a=7ed544b33374e12156283fe18879edee&t=1217483318
It seems that in the opinion of a lot of company directors, those born after 1982, known as Generation Y, are less productive at international and national levels, such as those born between 1970 and 1982, known as Generation X.
I do not intend to start a war but in the forum, a fight between X and Y, because among other things this could be understood as a war between women and men, by that of the chromosomes. And this is a war we have lost.
I just want to point out, by my own experience, which I disagree with the conclusion of this study. Simply by the advance of technology many believe that a person, the younger, more results obtained in less time. And I think also that both generations are well prepared in many ways: training, languages, management tools, etc .... (at least better than previous generations).
Perhaps the problem with this study is that those who have opined are people who do not belong to any of these generations born before 1970 who are currently occupying most of the senior executives.
And I believe also to stop and not dwell too, that these managers are applying to the valuation of productivity the same mistake that what has been applied to the price of the flats: "Every time I ask more and more and more ... ..." and goes a time when it is impossible to raise the price because there are those who pay. That you know better than me.
Working more and more and more .... And there comes a time in which it is not possible to work more. But I am still seeking more. And in fact, produce more and more that a few years ago. If only because they count on better ways.
Admittedly, the Y generation is the least productive in one thing: to have children. But surely it is because of the impossibility of leaving the nest, because of that error in the price of the flats. Or not?
That is why I think this is another big lie.
Anyway. I do not know that opinaréis. In any case, good vacation to take them.
