Watch Nightline’s “Inside Apple’s Chinese Foxconn Factories”
ABC’s Nightline was given exclusive access to a Foxconn factory in China that assembles Apple products, providing a fascinating look at how Apple gear is made.
You’ll see iPhones, iPads, and MacBook Pro’s being put together manually by workers as there’s virtually no robots or automation, nearly all of the devices are assembled by hand. T
This means it takes a while to produce each Apple product, and a single iPad takes nearly a week to complete.
A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.
A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.
A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.
The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist.
Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.
In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.
No one knew this but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the top musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written,with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.
Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.
Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?
One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
Gestern zu Heilig Abend wurde übereinstimmend in mehreren Teilen Deutschlands und Luxemburg gegen 17:30 Uhr ein hell leuchtendes Objekt mit einem langem Schweif am Nachthimmel entdeckt.
Hier die besten Videos dazu:
Was is datt?
Kahne Ahnung – an UFO!
Datt is der Stern von Bethlehem
Комета или …?
Erklärung: Es war wohl die 3. Verbrennungsstufe einer Sojuskapsel, die am Mittwoch vom Weltraumbahnhof Baikonur in Kasachstan abgehoben war und die drei Männer zur Internationalen Raumstation ISS brachte.
