![[Weekend Watch List] Simona Halep și câteva explicații științifice. Despre tenis, religie și protest](https://media.iqads.ro/2018/06/ww4-cover-850.jpg)
Stim ce faceti weekendul asta: intr-un fel sau altul sigur aparati democratia. Si daca asta devine complicat in teatrul absurdului Romania, exista un fel de evadare pe terenul de la Roland Garros, unde Simona Halep joaca sambata finala. Avem un documentar despre drumul ei de pana acum la acest Grand Slam si o explicatie stiintifica a loviturilor, de la Eurosport.
Si daca extazul si agonia sunt simple in sport si tin de reguli stricte, cu democratia e mai complicat. Aici regulile se schimba continuu, se pare, iar invinsii incearca sa tina pasul cu ea. Avem cateva explicatii despre arta protestului si de ce functioneaza miscarile sociale (ca o dedicatie pentru cei care au obosit) si o intoarcere istorica spre Protestul care a schimbat o generatie. De aici pana la De ce esueaza natiunile nu e decat un click.
Tot in lista pregatita pentru acest weekend, cateva sfaturi de la batrani, cum se raspandesc religiile si poluarea cu zgomot.

All Power to the Imagination: Paris, May 1968: The Student Revolt
This excerpt from Stephen Talbot's PBS documentary "1968: The Year that Shaped a Generation" recalls the May '68 student-led uprisings in Paris. The famous slogan of the protesters was "All Power to the Imagination." The revolt against the antiquated French educational system turned into a general youth rebellion, joined by workers in a number of factories, that rocked Paris and nearly toppled the French government. This excerpt includes commentary from author/activist Barbara Ehrenreich and novelist/diplomat Carlos Fuentes, who took part in the uprising as a young man then living in Paris.

How audiobooks are recorded
To investigate how audiobooks are made, we sat down with a professional audiobook narrator, Suzy Jackson, to break down her work. And to make the audiobook recording process even more apparent, Vox's Phil Edwards wrote one for her. According to Suzy Jackson, the hardest part of recording an audiobook isn't acting as different characters, it's the long hours. And random esophageal noises.
How noise pollution is ruining your hearing
Our ears are exposed to dangerous levels of noise every single day.
Health organizations warn that continual exposure to noise levels above 70 decibels can potentially damage your ears. And yet we are routinely exposed to noise much louder than that in everyday situations.
