You have to surrender! (Voce tem que ceder!)

"There are no really historical records of the volume and type of material that was spilled in the oceans before the establishment of an anti-dumping law. However, it is estimated that in 1968, 38 million tons of excavated material, 4.5 million tons of industrial waste, 4.5 million sewage sludge, 100 million tons of petroleum-based product (plastic), 2 to 4 tonnes of chemical waste, more than 1 million tons of heavy metals were released into the ocean. The U.S. archive shows that between 1946 and 1970 over 55,000 containers of radioactive waste were disposed in 3 sites of dumping of the Pacific Ocean. In addition, 34,000 tons of radioactive wastes were disposed in 3 sites of dumping of the U.S. east coast between 1951 and 1962. No law on dumping radioactive waste has been put into force before 1972."

  I think it's a failure of intelligence and tecnology. A deviation of reasoning. 
This gives a prejudice in the house of billions to recover, and had to put this reasoning was a misuse of reasoning because in the end it does not work and needs a lot of money to recover. A failure. An indicator of mental health in engineering.
 This project was done at the same time I taught ... I was a child...
 
The teaching they gave me was the question: Is it worth playing the dust under the rug. Thereafter done three times question. Every time I would clean the room spoke up play was worth the dust under the carpet. I had to fast because my mom would get the job (she was a teacher) and my brother and I that we were cleaning the apartment. After the third time, seeing my brother laughing at me, saying that one day my mother would see the dirt under the carpet. And I feel bad because it was dirty. I decided to clean up earlier to have time to get it and be clean. This was a project of the 70s. 
I was about 10 years old and my brother was 6. Ai came the result of learning the uk. You can not study and design in the dirt. You do not like the dust and clutter. Therefore if you want to return because he is always complaining that no income (in class notes and homework) and (in their toys I made dam on the curb with the left over wood joinery near my house, I kept waiting housewives wash their backyards in the highest part of the street) you need to clean everything before you start playing. After that day everything became easier. Was learned that the dam spillway lasted more than one hour. I have to laugh at my childhood. Prior did not last 10 minutes because I had to keep holding the water not to take away all wood construction.

 The spillway is the landmark of expression that you guys hear on the air. That have nothing to do with other things. 
The expression was: You have to  surrender!  (Voce tem que ceder!). 
Because we saw the cartoon beavers building dams when we were doing and we did not surrender on dam construction for water. We built in a holding all the water. Had to have a spillway to surrender a little water and control the water pressure in the timber. So we learned the phrase "must surrender" is a basic expression in hydraulic engineering. I have to thank God that this teaching, I managed to make publishing symposium on surface water. But already advanced, it was the physical chemical studies of surface water, is because the problems were the questions Soap housewife generated foam and let our dam full of foam. That gave a lot of work control. We did not know what it was that was water or foam. 

We had 11 years of age.

 Good Week
