Joliot Curiosity April 2013 www.lyc-curie-nanterre.ac-versailles.fr

The 2013 Joliot Curiosity Here is Joliot Curiosity, the

annual newspaper of our high-

school Joliot Curie, written in

English by the European class.

We really enjoyed preparing

this newspaper, thanks to our

studies with Mrs Moreau, and

Mrs Baraud, our teachers, on

the Anglo-Saxon press. We

had to practise by reading and

analyzing many newspapers

like The Sun or The New York

Times. For two weeks, we

spent all the English class

hours in the school library to

create this newspaper. Each

student worked on their own

sections, so they have all writ-

ten their articles with pleas-

ure.

The new Pope : The new Pope, Francis,

Cyprus and the banks :

Friday March 16th, the crisis actu-ally started. This country has been enduring a crisis for five years. The president of Cyprus said he had no intention of leaving the Euro zone. Nicos Anastasiades said: “In no way will we experi-ment with the future of our coun-try”. But a £4,223 monthly restriction has been established on money withdrawals. The president said the situation was “contained” by the €10 bn deal with the Euro zone and the IMF (International Monetary Fund). Cyprus’ central bank says credit and debit card transactions are now free of any restrictions. The banks reopened on Thursday March 28th. Despite the fact that many people went to withdraw money, the atmosphere was quite calm and the banks had returned to their normal opening hours.

The Sky Conquest by Antony and Arnaud

The highest skyscraper in the world will rise in Djedda, Saudi Arabia around 2017

Computer 3D rendering released on 2 August 2011

This marvel of architecture is the achievement of many years of research. Its name is the Kingdom Tower, a giant project which will cost over a billion dollars. The “sky conquest” has begun since the 1900s but it is in the 60s that what we know as sky-scrapers rose. We can find skyscrapers on each continent nowadays. They prove the power of a country. The newest skyscrapers are as origi-nal as they are high. The Kingdom Tower was previously known as Mile-High Tower. Indeed, its original height was supposed to be a mile (1,600 m) but re-search revealed that the ground wouldn’t be able to support it. However, the final height will still be over 1,000m. The architect is Adrian Smith, the same who designed the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, another famous skyscraper which appears in the film Mission: Impossible – Ghost Pro-tocol by Bride Bird

“...this tower symbolizes the Kingdom as an important global business and cultural leader, and demonstrates the strength and creative vision of its people. It represents new growth and high-performance tech-nology fused into one powerful iconic form.” — Adrian D. Smith

The outdoor sky terrace will over-look the Red Sea and have an area of over 697 square meters -Wikipedia

The limit date of the Sun Our life source, the Sun, will have a breakdown

of energy in around 5 billion years The Sun is the star which al-lows the presence of liquid water on the Earth’s surface. Without it life wouldn’t exist on earth. The Sun is composed of 73% hydro-gen. To release light and heat the Sun consumes 620 million tons of hydrogen every second. But this fuel isn’t unlimited. Compared with other similar stars in our gal-axy, the astrophysicists said that the Sun is at the middle of its hy-drogen combustion. Which leaves us 5 billion years before exhaus-tion of the hydrogen stock.

76% of French dissatisfaction with the

government’s policy

Only a few months after his election, Fran-çois Hollande is the most unpopular presi-dent of the fifth Republic’s history. French citizens are dissatisfied with Hollande’s government. 0n Thursday 28 March, when he spoke on television , 68% of the French population said that he was « not convinc-ing at all ». On the Web, on a lot of social networks , we can find a dozen of petitions to ask for his resignation. In spite of this, Hollande will cut family allowances for rich families.

What’s more, « Cahuzac’s case » doesn’t settle anything. Indeed, Budget minister, Jerôme Cahuzac owns an account in Switzerland, which he strongly denied four months ago. In a recent declaration, he apologized to his former colleagues, to the French population, and to President François Hollande for his lies. He said that he is ashamed of what he did, above all, in front of his family.

Nicolas Sarkozy , the ex-French president is be-ing charged with breach of trust against Mrs Bettencourt. He was interviewed by the judge Mr. Jean-Michel Gentil. The ex-president said that he was innocent and that he would not leave it at that. The judge decided to suspend his indictment for abuse of weakness.

Nevertheless, as we all may be entitled to vote soon, we must not consider that all politicians are corrupted and useless. We must not abstain from voting! On the con-trary, we must use this right to vote as the best way to preserve democracy. By Wided and Nassaba

Beauty & accessories

This summer, the trendy make up is a natural make up. In order to get it, don't hesitate to use moisturizing creams for a fresh complexion and use vivid col-ours like pink, yellow or orange to have a tonic touch. You can also use pastel colours, which are coming back.

This year, the nail manicure became a true art. Nail polish appeared with more and more im-pressive colours and substances like nail polish with effects (caviar nail polish or with strass) and crackle-glazed. The trend is also using un-expected colours like fluo colours or unex-pected mixtures like galaxy stickers and shad-ing off nail polish. It’s a game you should play if you want trendy hands!

This summer, the 60s are BACK ! High waist shorts, blouses, cotton sneakers and even a crown of flowers in your hair. Here we’ve got a good exam-ple with Emma Watson wearing pretty high waist shorts , a sleeveless blouse with a tiger printed belt and white sneakers. If you like it you can find every-thing for less than $82,12

Are the 60s BACK ?

TED: WHAT’S BETTER THAN A GOOD COMEDY?

Directed by Seth MacFarlane, released on October 10th, 2012. American comedy with Mark Walhberg, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane… Running time: 107 min. Plot: At 8 years old, the little John Bennett made the wish that his Christmas teddy bear comes alive and becomes his best friend for life, and he saw his wish fulfilled. Almost 30 years later, the story doesn’t look like a Christmas story anymore. Ted's omnipresence alongside John weighs heavily on his relationship with Lori. Al-though, Lori is patient, she sees in this exclusive relationship, principally to drink beers and smoke in front of cheesy TV programs more cheesy than others, a handi-cap that confines John into childhood, prevents him to succeed professionally and to get involved in their relationship. Torn between his love for Lori and his loyalty to-wards Ted, John struggles in order to become a man, a real one! Although we could believe that Ted is a movie for children because of the teddy bear as main character, actually Ted is a film for an audience of teenagers or adults. The positive thing is that you do not get bored, but we must say that the story is a bit un-real: the teddy bear which comes alive proves it. We really liked it, because the movie is pretty original.

Festivals you wouldn’t miss!

MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC MUSIC By Anne-Sophie and Sara

Woodstock Music and Art Fair was a free music festival and a gathering of hippie culture which took place in 1969 in Bethel, NY. It was a non-stop music festival. The first edition was sup-posed to last two days (from August 15th to Au-gust 17th, 1969) but more than half a million people came to this gathering and finally, it lasted until the morning of August 18th, 1969. This festival welcomed folk and rock artists such as Janis Joplin, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix and The Who. This event has been immortalized by the movie "Woodstock" directed by Michael Wadleigh.

Vans Warped Tour was created in 1996 by Kevin Lyman. He had the idea of the tour by working on skateboard exhibi-tions including rock music and skate shows. This festival is a music and ex-treme sports festival. The tour takes place in different places in the United States and Canada. Every year, many famous bands participate in the tour, such as Paramore, Simple Plan, Sum 41 and Gym Class Heroes.

TRIBUTE TO THE ANCESTOR

A ghost in the music business

Seven years after FutureSex/LoveSounds, Justin Timberlake told the press that apart from cinema, “Music is more than anything in the world” . While we thought we’d never see him on stage again, Justin Timberlake comes back with a new opus called “The 20/20 Experi-ence” which is a blend of soul and R’n’b. The actor/singer created ex-pectations and his video posted in January where he was announcing from a recording studio: “I’m ready” was a great surprise for all the fans who had been waiting for this moment for so long. Nothing was done randomly: “The 20/20 Experience” was recorded in 20 days and the great music video “Suit and Tie”, filmed by David Fincher (the director of The Social Network), shows him in black and white tuxedo and bow tie: elegance impersonated. Justin ensures the promotion of his last album: at the last Grammy Awards ceremony, his performance of “Suit and Tie” with Jay-Z, which marks his musical comeback, was hailed by all. Two songs from that album have already been released: “Suit and Tie” and “Mirrors” are already real successes. And just for his comeback: we say “Thank you ! We missed your mu-sic so much !”

We listened to his new album and we found it amazing: our favorite songs are: Pusher Love Girl, Let the groove get in, Spaceship Coupe and Mirrors. Those songs are really great, some are catchy and Justin conveys his feelings through his music.
