Shooting – Pologne

Lynch at Łódź
David Lynch arrived in Poland to complete filming on Inland Empire, his new film whose screenplay is still shrouded in secret.
The title does not give much away – referring to the four neighbourhoods of Los Angeles close to the Californian desert. "It’s the story of a woman in deep trouble. The story also has a hidden mystery, that’s all I will say on the subject," declared David Lynch with regard to his film.

The first visit by Lynch to Poland was in 2000 when the director was invited to the Camerimage festival at Łódź. His fascination since then for this town, headquarters of the famous film school, brought him back two years later. That’s when the project began – in a little bedroom painted green, the first images were taken.
Many Polish actors are in the cast, notably Karolina Gruszka, Krzysztof Majchrzak, Leon Niemczyk, Piotr Andrzejewski. But the main roles are taken by Laura Dern, Justin Theroux, Jeremy Irons, Harry Dean Santon.
This time the crew is filming in the Łódź hotels and in Manufaktura, former factories transformed into a modern commercial-cultural complex.

Production on Inland Empire was not officially announced until the last Cannes festival, by Studio Canal – one of the co-producers of the film. The Polish end of the production is being handled by Marek Żydowicz, director of the Camerimage festival, in coopération with Fundacja Tumult.
The film’s première is scheduled for the next Cannes festival. In Poland, the film will probably come out in the autumn, and Kino Świat will be the distributor.

Court Suspends London's Mayor for 4 Weeks...wtf?!

LONDON, Feb. 24 — A disciplinary panel today took the highly unusual step of suspending the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, for four weeks to punish him for comparing a Jewish reporter to a Nazi concentration camp guard.

-Mayor: "What did you do before? Were you a German war criminal?"
-Reporter: "No, I'm Jewish. I wasn't a German war criminal."
-Mayor: "Actually, you are just like a concentration camp guard. You're just doing it 'cause you're paid to, aren't you?"

Puente de Agua

Water Bridge in Germany... What a feat!
Six years, 500 million euros, 918 meters long.......now this is engineering!

This is a channel-bridge over the River Elbe and joins the former East and West Germany, as part of the unification project. It is located in the city of Magdeburg, near Berlin. The photo was taken on the day of inauguration.


To those who appreciate engineering projects

Yes this is true . You can visit link below

Water Bridge

As Deutsche Welle described the bridge upon its completion in 2003:

Taking six years to build and costing around half a billion euros, the massive undertaking will connect Berlin's inland harbor with the ports along the Rhine river. At the center of the project is Europe's longest water bridge measuring in just shy of a kilometer at 918 meters. The huge tub to transport ships over the Elbe took 24,000 metric tons of steel and 68,000 cubic meters of concrete to build.

The water bridge will enable river barges to avoid a lengthy and sometimes unreliable passage along the Elbe. Shipping can often come to a halt on the stretch if the river's water mark falls to unacceptably low levels.

Plans for joining the two canals had been conceived as far back as 1919, and construction on such a project began during the 1930s, but first World War II and then the post-war division of Germany put the project on hold until after German reunification was achieved in the 1990s.

"En los años setenta, de la mano de John Holland surgió una de las líneas más prometedoras de la inteligencia artificial, la de los algoritmos genéticos. Son llamados así porque se inspiran en la evolución biológica y su base genético-molecular.

Estos algoritmos hacen evolucionar una población de individuos sometiéndola a acciones aleatorias semejantes a las que actúan en la evolución biológica (mutaciones y recombinación genética), así como también a una selección de acuerdo con algún criterio, en función del cual se decide cuáles son los individuos más adaptados, que sobreviven, y cuáles los menos aptos, que son descartados.

Los algoritmos genéticos forman parte de una familia denominada algoritmos evolutivos, que incluye las Estrategias de evolución, la Programación evolutiva y la Programación genética. Dentro de esta última se han logrado avances curiosos:

En 1999, por primera vez en la historia, se concedió una patente a un invento no realizado directamente por un ser humano: se trata de una antena de forma extraña, pero que funciona perfectamente en las condiciones a las que estaba destinada. No hay, sin embargo, nada injusto en el hecho de que el autor del algoritmo genético del que salió la forma de la antena se haya atribuido la autoría de la patente, pues él escribió el programa e ideó el criterio de selección que condujo al diseño patentado."

In Praise of the Harrison Act of 1914

"Every person possesses his own dose of natural opium, ceaselessly secreted and renewed, and from birth to death how many hours can we reckon of positive pleasure, of successful and decided action?"











"...One result is hysteria. This indeed is the result gained by the endless flow of noise regarding addiction. The insidious monster of addiction is waiting to enslave anyone, from the President’s wife to the average working person. It could be a substance, or it could be a process. Drugs, sex, eating, shopping, or even working could all be means to addiction. Anyone could become an addict; anything could be addicting. Such discourse, once internalized, produces an involuntary panic that causes a crisis in the ability to distinguish appropriate desires and actions from inappropriate ones. In turn, a frenzied search begins for an exterior authority that can validate the state of nonaddiction.

How the US lied over cartoon riots

“Condoleezza Rice is a liar. The US secretary of state blamed Iran and Syria for inciting violence over Danish caricatures of the prophet Mohammed.

“The problem is that she is lying, and this irresponsible charge is another in a long series of propaganda ploys whereby the Bush administration manipulates public opinion in the US.”

Cole checked all statements on the controversy before the protests in Damascus and Beirut and found that “neither the CIA, nor BBC Monitoring, nor any of the wire services noticed any Syrian official saying anything at all about this.

“It is being alleged that the Baath regime was behind the burning of the Danish embassy in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on the grounds that it could not have happened unless the police state allowed it.

“But things have got out of hand before in Syria, sometimes on a large scale.

“It is likely that the regime allowed the initial demonstration, which radical Sunni Muslims took advantage of to torch the embassy.

“The Syrian regime hates radical Islam and doesn’t like disorder either. We cannot assume that the embassy burning was directed by the Syrian state. Rice and Bush have decided to get Syria, and are using the current crisis as a stick with which to beat it, and are lying shamelessly.”

Cole says that Iran had been trying to cool tempers:

“Its embassy was active in Copenhagen pushing for an apology in the autumn of 2005, but I can’t find evidence of inflammatory statements until the past week.

“Some Iranian officials have called for calm on the issue, rather than inciting it.

“Despite wild charges that the Iranian protege Hizbollah [a Shia group] was behind the Beirut embassy burning, in fact the demonstration was a Sunni demonstration. The Shia don’t seem to have been part of it.

“You can only imagine the memo from [Bush’s chief political strategist] Karl Rove – ‘Anything happens in the Middle East, blame it on Syria and Iran. Works every time’.”

Vía Wikipedia ""

A space elevator is a hypothetical structure designed to transport material from a planet's surface into space. Many different types of space elevator structures have been proposed. They all share the goal of replacing rocket propulsion with the traversal of a fixed structure via a mechanism not unlike an elevator, hence its name, in order to move material into or beyond orbit. Space elevators have also sometimes been referred to
as beanstalks, space bridges, space lifts or space ladders.

The political motivation for a collaborative effort comes from the potential destabilizing nature of the space elevator. The space elevator clearly has military applications, but more critically it would give a strong economic advantage for the controlling entity. Information flowing through satellites, future energy from space, planets full of real estate and associated minerals, and basic military advantage could all potentially be controlled by the entity that controls access to space through the space elevator. An international collaboration could result in multiple elevators at various locations around the globe, since subsequent elevators would be significantly cheaper, thus allowing general access to space and consequently eliminating the instabilities a single system might cause.
