A Labeled Structure Of A Ship

scifi

In April 1986, occurred the terrible nuclear accident at Chernobyl, and now, decades later, the nuclear energy crisis again presented as an alternative clean and cheap to fossil fuels.
Unfortunately, the terrible crisis that now has all of Japan and the world hangs in the balance has once again demonstrated the high price to pay for this energy. If anything good I can draw from the current situation is that after that many people will reconsider its position on nuclear energy.
In Spain, the debate be open again until recently because to the energy crisis. The PSOE government intended to go slowly closing the plants, while the PP sought not only to prolong its life (beyond 40 years) but raised to build more. However, in February this year, the government changed its position and removed the barrier of 40 years to prolong the life of the plants, dramatically changing its policy.

Of the 6 stations operating in Spain, which has received more critical is the Garonne, in Burgos, the oldest in the country. Several environmental organizations including Greenpeace and Ecologists in Action have spent years asking closure. Incidentally, this plant is similar to this in Fukushima, which can now expedite the closing process.

respect to what is happening right now in Japan, I can not feel nothing but anguish, because the situation is already quite serious. All my support for the Japanese people.

on nuclear, these events only serve to reaffirm my position, and remember that the arguments usually put forward the defense are all false:

-nuclear is not cheap.
construction costs and maintenance, and security levels to be carried very high, and usually take over the states, they are unthinkable for any private enterprise.
On the other hand, the costs in case of accidents multiply.
-nuclear
are not clean:
Even if there are no accidents, radioactive waste produced by a plant have a very high period of disintegration, forcing cemeteries to look where the matter is to remain sealed and isolated for decades. The location of these cemeteries is also a matter of controversy.
-nuclear
not secure and never will be:
Although they function perfectly for years, it is always possible that there is an error, whether human or natural event too large for the plant was not ready (if Fukushima). If this occurs, the accident is usually very serious consequences and high costs to human health and the environment. And these costs are very long term, because it takes years for the radioactivity to disappear, affecting generations. The risk is too great.

Earache And Ringing In Ear

recycled nuclear alert




I learn via 20 minutes who have purchased the rights to Blade Runner be prequel, sequels and other products by exploiting the original film. Alcon Entertainment is in final negotiations with the original film's producer Bud Yorkin, who will serve as producer in the new projects, with the help of Andrew Kosove, Broderick Johnson and Cynthia Sikes, Alcon, which will be co-producers.
From idea can get anything but playing the original film, that is, make a remake . Clear that, in an official statement, the producers have declared their intention to "do justice to the original film" and "exploit concepts for multiple platforms."

As a fan of the original film, I feel concern at the statements. And I find it quite difficult to match the original, since not only the difference of time that elapsed between the first film and intend to do, but also the spirit in Ridley Scott created his Blade Runner and the apparent greed of money seems to motivate these products below. I think we have something similar to what happened with the Star Wars trilogy ...

And speaking of Star Wars, Lucas seems that once again returns to give a further twist to the matter, and if several years re-release the first trilogy (ie, now called episodes IV, V and VI ) now seems to return movies to the big screen, yes, in 3D.

it just me or does indeed seem that there is a vacuum of ideas in Hollywood?

State Of Florida Small Estate Affidavit

The Oscars


Taking advantage of the situation

the 2011 Academy Awards, I dedicate to comment on what I think of some of the movies (and prizes).

First, I fully agree with the general opinion it was an awards ceremony "conservative." Especially since the king's speech was the most deserved awards. Not that this is a bad movie, but clearly a film "politically correct" which empathizes with the world because it is a story of self-personal, something already well seen but always gets to people. I think the highlight of the film is the performance of the two protagonists (Colin Firth and speech pathologist) XD, and above all, the air of British humor that gives the special touch of product alternative to what we're used to seeing. But removing these features, what remains is a movie that adds nothing new, but uses a formula known as a product to get complacent.

Much more risky, "the network", also nominated for best picture and direction, ran out of both and instead won the award for best adapted screenplay, in recognition of good work from Aaron Sorkin. He also won the Oscar for best soundtrack. And in this aspect is difficult to decide whether I deserved it more or less Reznor Hans Zimmer for the soundtrack of Origin .


And of course, Source Christopher Nolan, my favorite, was again the victim of the antipathy felt by the Academy for fantasy cinema: not only was not a best director nomination or assembly, if not all were received Oscars in technical categories: best picture, sound, sound editing and special effects.
Being nominated for best original screenplay, a story so compelling, complex and well done as it should have had many opportunities to win, but was King's Speech which unfairly snatched the prize. To say that Nolan is not even nominated for best direction and is itself scandalous.

As Value Act had many integers to win the award for best direction with the opera but not pretentious work of the Coen brothers. It is unthinkable that once again the king's speech, where no sequence visually calls attention, carry such an award. The Coen Brothers film, cinema is a review of western betting on a classic style renovated , where perhaps the only leftover from the movie are the last minutes of epilogue.

Ultimately, we know that the Academy Awards are not given the best, and only time just putting things in place. And you ... what do you think about the Oscars?
