Rock that can absorb ...

Using Rocks as CO2 Sponges

Researchers studying peridotite rock in the Middle Eastern country of Oman say the material could be an amazing absorber of carbon dioxide.Peridotite is found in abundance in the Earth's mantle, about 12 miles down and under the Earth's crust. Large chunks of the rock make their way to the surface as the crust moves and shifts. While the scientists making the discovery studied a large field of peridotite in Oman, the material can be found in various places around the globe, including in the U.S..The study, which will be published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , shows that peridotite reacts with CO2 at surprisingly high rates. The reaction forms a solid carbonate like limestone or marble. Researchers involved in the study feel that the process can be sped up to even higher rates with drilling and injection of CO2 into the rock."This method would afford a low-cost, safe and permanent method to capture and store atmospheric CO2," said geologist Peter Kelemen, lead author of the study. Keleman estimates that the Omani peridotite field, which is about the size of Massachusetts, is naturally absorbing between 10,000 and 100,000 tons of CO2 every year. Although scientists have long known that peridotite will react with CO2, plans to transport it to power plants where it could be exposed to smokestack gasses proved unwieldy or too expensive. But the extremely high reaction rates occurring naturally means that CO2 could instead be shipped to peridotite sites to be absorbed, and at a much lower cost.By simply boring into the surface of exposed peridotite and pumping in heated water that is saturated with pressurized CO2, researchers are confident the reaction process can be increased 100,000 times or more. Through this process, scientists predict that the Omani peridotite field alone can absorb about 4 billion tons of CO2 annually, which equates to about 13 percent of the total amount humans send into the atmosphere.

Serge Gainsbourg - Francia
The would-be painter who became a singing provocateur
.
At Paris’s Cité de la musique “Gainsbourg 2008” offers a fascinating glimpse into the singular universe of cult singer Serge Gainsbourg. 2008-11-24 13:43 TU - by Alison Hird Paris,France (Europe) - The “Gainsbourg 2008” poster sets the tone – a photo of Serge Gainsbourg in the 80s, holding not a microphone but an F2 Nikon.

Paris, France (Europe) - Throughout his 40-year career he remained committed to the visual arts, creating links between words, images and music. Even if Serge Gainsbourg is a master of French song, he has more in common with British rock musicians David Bowie, Brian Ferry and Jimmy Page than his compatriots, says exhibition curator Frederic Sanchez. “They come from art school and Serge Gainsbourg is kind of unique in his genre in France because he also comes from painting."
.
Born into an artistic family of Russian-Jewish origin, Gainsbourg's father was a struggling pianist, but Serge dreamed of being a painter, convinced it was the highest form of artistic expression.
.
He graduated from the prestigious Ecole des Beaux Arts. “As a painter, I would have made a masterpiece,” he told Franck Maubert in an interview.
.
He never did, at least to our knowledge, abandoning painting when he realised it wouldn’t make him famous or rich. While the exhibition shows an accomplished self-portrait from 1957, withGainsbourg heavy-lidded, sneering, and a sketch he did of daughter Charlotte, he burnt the majority of his artworks.
.
It was the jazz trumpeter, journalist and poet Boris Vian, whom Gainsbourg so admired, that convinced young Serge he could make something of singing and raise it from a minor to major art form by combining the aural and visual. “He wanted to do images with words or images with music,” adds Sanchez. “This is the important thing, the multi-disciplinary thing. Gainsbourg doesn’t talk only about music.
.
He talks about film, literature, poetry. So it’s another way to approach culture. And it’s what I really want to show in this exhibition”.
.
The result is a multimedia installation with video footage and film interviews projected onto screens on two sides of metal pillars; the other two devoted to photos and text.
.
A haunting sound installation echoes around the room with stars who knew or worked with Gainsbourg - like Catherine Deneuve, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin - half-speaking, half-whispering his poetic texts.
.
In one of the 120 film extracts on show, we see Serge Gainsbourg sampling three notes from Dvorak’s New World Symphony. They formed the basis of his song Initials BB which he wrote following the break up of his brief affair with Brigitte Bardot. Chopin was another life-long inspiration. .
.
Gainsbourg kept a portrait of the composer on his piano while living at the Cité des Arts as a student between 1965 and1968. When he later moved to rue Verneuil in Paris’s St Germain, Chopin was joined by a portrait of Sid Vicious.
.
It was typical of Gainsbourg’s approach to life – inspired by the geniuses of the past, determined to live very much with the times. Sometimes painters directly influenced his work. His home in rue Verneuil, painted entirely in black, was inspired by the surrealist painter Salvador Dali.
.
La Chasse aux papillons, Salvador Dali Serge Gainsbourg was fascinated by the legendary character Dali had created for himself as much as his talent as a painter and bought his La Chasse aus papillons.


Musically, Serge Gainsbourg pushed back the boundaries.
He reworked yéyé (American-inspired French pop) and wrote the hit Poupée de cire, Poupée de son in 1965. It won a Eurovision prize for yéyé star France Gall who personified the Lolita-type woman Serge Gainsbourg was drawn to.

The score of Poupée de cire
He also wrote the hit Les Sucettes – ostensibly about a lollipop. Miss Gall was horrified on discovering it was actually about oral sex.
.
Gainsbourg recorded the first ever French reggae album Aux armes et caetera in 1976. The title track was a reggae version of the French national anthem La Marseillaise. It caused a scandal, not least when, in 1981, he sang it a capella in Strasbourg to a group of parachutists. Just one of many scandals.

Yet, typically Jeckyll and Hyde, Gainsbourg showed commitment to national tradition, despite, or perhaps because of, his Russian Jewish origins. In 1981 he acquired the original manuscript of L’Hymne des Marseillais by Rouget de Lisle, also on show at the exhibition.

L'homme à tête de chou
Pride of place surely goes to the original Homme à tête de chou sculpture (cabbage-headed man) by Lalanne. It inspired the concept album of the same name.

“I found it in the window of a contemporary art gallery,” Gainsbourg is quoted as saying. “Under hypnosis, I pushed the door open, paid in cash and had it delivered to my home."

"At first, he stayed silent, then he warmed up and told me his story," Gainsbourg said. "A tabloid journalist who fell in love with a little shampoo girl, chou (cute) enough to cheat on him with rock-and-roll artists, he killed her with a fire-extinguisher, lapsed little by little into insanity and lost his head which became chou (a cabbage).”

Sadly for non-French speakers, the exhibition's captions are not translated and much of Gainsbourg’s renowned wordplay will remain a mystery.

But he’s finally gaining recognition abroad. The concept album L’histoire de Melody Nelson has been sampled by artists in the US , UK and Japan, Placebo, Portishead, and Beck to name but three. The exhibition is set to travel to the US and Japan next year. Should you be heading that way….

Ice skating in Russia

El patinaje ruso esta de fiesta
RUVR TUE VOICE OF RUSSIA www.ruvr.ru / PROGRAMAS / REVISTA CULTURAL.

Aunque para el Año Nuevo faltan aun semanas, en Rusia se siente ya la atmósfera de la fiesta. En Moscú y Petersburgo, en las mayores plazas están ya abiertas las pistas de patinaje.
.
No es la primera vez que los moscovitas acuden a patinar a la Plaza Roja. Mientras que para los petersburgueses esta es una novedad. La pista en la Plaza de los Palacios de Petersburgo fue creada y es la mas espaciosa pista patinaje de Europa.

Imagínense amigos una pista de 5 mil metros cuadrados, algo así como tres canchas de hockey.
.
Millares de entusiastas acudieron a probar esa pista, entre ellas, la gobernadora de la ciudad, Valentina Matveienko.
.
La pista es excelente. Esta es una verdadera fiesta para los habitantes de la ciudad.

En la víspera del año nuevo y de la Navidad, este es un magnífico regalo para los niños, para los jóvenes, para toda la población.
.
Mas aun que la tradición de las pistas públicas nacieron exactamente en Petersburgo.
.
Pedro Primero trajo justamente las pistas desde Europa. Al emperador ruso le encantaban estos tipos de pasatiempos.
.
De manera que continuamos esta tradición en la plaza, a mi juicio, mas hermosa del mundo, subraya Valentina Matveienko.


Durante la apertura de las pistas entre las dos capitales tuvo lugar un puente televisado.
.
En la Plaza Roja, patinadores artísticos de renombre regalaron a los moscovitas bailes fogosos y, para todos los que deseaban ofrecieron clases magistrales, es mas, no solo de patinaje artístico, sino también de hockey.
.
Por ejemplo, entre los entrenadores estaba un hockeista famoso del pasado, el campeón olímpico y actual dirigente del Comité federal de Deportes, Viacheslav Fetisov.
.
Rusia tiene las mas gloriosas tradiciones de los deportes de invierno. Ellos son el patinaje artístico, el hockey, las carreras de esquí y biatlón, indica Fetisov.
.
Para esta vez están planificados en la pista unos cuantos encuentros de hockey y la final del torneo infantil “El tejo de oro”. De manera que el hockey tiene también su casa en la Plaza Roja.

Guiness

Matthias Jeschke - German / Not only has the new Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited set new sales records for Wranglers, but it’s also recently set a new Guiness World record for highest altitude in a four-wheeled vehicle!

.

Over the course of five days in early March 2007, a team of adventurers from Germany’s Extrem Events piloted two relatively stock Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimiteds to the rim of Ojos del Salado in Chile (South America).

.

Ojos del Salado is the highest volcano in the world and the second highest mountain in the Western Hemisphere. .

The intrepid explorers piloted their Jeep vehicles up the volcano range to an altitude of 21,804 feet (0,000 metres), braving hurricane-force winds, glacier fields, deep silt beds, razor-sharp ice and snow outcroppings, and temperatures of minus 22*F (minus 00º Celsius) to set the new world record.

.

And what did they do once they broke the world record? They posted a JEEP PARKING ONLY sign of course! (Photo)

.
Matthias Jeschke, the expedition’s leader, kept a journal of the event which you can read here (if the site changes to German, just click the British flag at the top right of the page to get it in English).
.
Jeschke’s site also has more details about the vehicles and route, as well as more photos from the trip. You can also check out more photos and a day-by-day account of the expedition in this thread on NAXJA (North American XJ Association). Watch for a full press release about the event on Jeepin.com soon.

Olga Kurylenko Is A Sexy Retro Chick

Olga Kurylenko or Brigitte Bardot?
.
Olga Kurylenko, the new James Bond girl is featured in the latest issue of GW Magazine.
.
The 29-year old Ukranian-born actress sizzles in the vintage photoshoot playing many different parts. I must say she looks great as a blond, reminding me of Brigitte Bardot (France) in her glory days.
.
Check out Olga in the latest James Bond movie ‘Quantum of Solace’ where she’s perfect as Camille, a sexy, mysterious Russian-Bolivian agent and James Bond’s love interest.
.
As Daniel Craig’s leading lady, Kurylenko talked about working with 007: “It is great to work with Daniel. He is professional and very concentrated. He is totally focused and serious about the role but he has a good sense of humour – his jokes are very, very funny.
.
I think Daniel has been so successful in taking over the role of James Bond because he is a great actor but I think his look is also very important. He looks so masculine and tough. The power in his eyes is incredible. I experienced that in one scene, he just looked at me and he cuts through you with his eyes – it’s very powerful.”

Barack Obama

NOUVEAU PRESIDENT - LES ETATS UNIS

Le triomphe de Barack Obama, bien qu'éclipsé par la mort dans un accident d’avion
Jeudi 6 Novembre 2008 - LE PETIT JOURNAL - COM (News in french language) -

Mario Gonzalez (www.lepetitjournal.com - Mexico)
.
Le triomphe de Barack Obama, bien qu'éclipsé par la mort dans un accident d’avion, du ministre de l’Intérieur mexicain, Juan Camilo Mouriño, a été félicité par le gouvernement mexicain.

.

Une victoire attendue pour une amélioration des relations entre les deux pays, notamment sur les questions épineuses de l'immigration et du narcotrafic.
.
La présidence mexicaine a publié un communiqué succinct faisant état des félicitations du Président mexicain Calderon au nouveau président-élu, lui réitérant l’engagement du gouvernement mexicain pour ‘‘consolider’’ les relations bilatérales.
.
Cependant, les réactions officielles mexicaines à la victoire d’Obama se sont faites discrètes dans les médias locaux, totalement absorbés par l’évènement majeur qu’a constitué la mort de Mouriño, bras droit du président Felipe Calderon et pièce angulaire dans la lutte contre le trafic de drogue et le crime organisé au Mexique.
.
Une victoire attendue Peu avant le jour de l’élection, la ministre des Affaires Etrangères, Patricia Espinosa, avait explicité les attentes mexicaines du prochain président US, notamment une réforme des lois migratoires qui favoriserait les millions de migrants clandestins mexicains aux Etats-Unis.
.
Dans une conférence de presse convoquée dans l’urgence mercredi après midi, Espinosa a évoqué une éventuelle rencontre entre Calderon et Obama, qui sera consacrée aux deux thèmes majeurs de la relation bilatérale : la migration et la lutte contre le trafic de drogue.
.
L’actuelle administration américaine propose au Mexique un plan appelé ‘‘Merida’’ pour doter les forces de sécurité mexicaines de matériels sophistiqués destinés au combat à mort contre les puissants cartels de la drogue au Mexique.
.
Quant à la migration, Mexico voudrait que la future équipe à la tête de la Maison Blanche soit plus sensible aux doléances de la forte communauté de migrants mexicains, dont plusieurs millions sont en situation irrégulière et voudraient que leur statut change.
.
Ce souci d’une solution urgente pour les mexicains s’explique par l’importance pour le pays des transferts financiers des migrants, toutes catégories confondues, chez l’Oncle Sam.
.
Peu d’illusions sur un réel changement Toutefois, les quelques commentateurs qui se sont risqués à émettre un avis sur le devenir de la relation avec Washington, ont estimé que les gouvernants mexicains ne devraient pas s’attendre à trop de changements, à court terme, sous la prochaine administration Obama et ce, pour la simple raison que ses priorités seront ailleurs, au moins dans un premier temps.
.
Cette perception est d’autant plus vraie que les Etats-Unis traversent actuellement l’une des crises financières les plus dévastatrices de son histoire.
.
De même, les Mexicains se rappelleront sans doute que le Sénateur Obama avait soutenu la construction du mur le long de la frontière commune pour freiner le flux des migrants clandestins.

Caerá chatarra del espacio

Chatarra espacial caerá del espacio a fines del 2008
http://mizar.blogalia.com/historias/58785
.
Se calcula que hay más de 9.000 objetos orbitando alrededor del planeta de los que tan sólo un 15% se mantienen en funcionamiento.
.
No obstante, se estima en más de 50.000 el número de objetos mayores de un centímetro.
.
Estos restos representan un problema para la navegación espacial, una simple costra de pintura puede romper los cristales de un transbordador espacial ya que su velocidad es 17 veces superior a la de las balas de una ametralladora.
.
Otros restos espaciales son mucho mayores y pueden ser visibles a simple vista, como en el caso del Early Ammonia Servicer.
.
El depósito Early Ammonia Servicer (EAS) ha sido hasta hace unos meses uno de los componentes de la Estación Espacial Internacional. Fue instalado en agosto de 2001 por el astronauta Clay Anderson durante un paseo extravehicular de la misión STS-105 como depósito de amoníaco para caso de fugas.
.
No llegó a utilizarse nunca y dejó de ser necesario desde la instalación en diciembre de 2006 del sistema de refrigeración permanente. En julio de 2007 fue desmontado del segmento P6 de la ISS (ver diagrama).
.
Este componente tiene el tamaño de un frigorífico, pesa 635 kg y su reentrada en la atmósfera se espera para finales de 2008 o principios de 2009.
.
Mientras tanto podemos ver cómo sobrevuela nuestras cabezas cada noche a algo menos de 300 km de altura y con un brillo algo mayor al de las estrellas del Carro de la Osa Mayor.
.
En su caída a la Tierra se hará día a día más brillante hasta convertirse en un bólido espectacular en alguna zona del planeta.

Anna Caterina Antonacci as Carmen

Standar Co Uk

London,Tuesday - 04 NOV 08

In the Italian soprano Anna Caterina Antonacci, we have a Carmen who moves with sinuous ease and oozes vampish allure.

.

Crucially, she has the rich mezzo timbre required for this vocally taxing bitch-fatale role.

Hers is not the only animal magnetism on stage. There's a donkey and a chicken plus a huge black horse on which the toreador, Escamillo, makes his entry.

.

Unfortunately, the four-legged steed rather outshone the two-legged stud, Ildebrando D'Arcangelo, who sounded pale and unsure, as if nervously attempting his first gymkhana.

.

Once out of the saddle, he recovered his poise.

Maradona

FOOTBALL - ARGENTINE
Dieu vivant du football mondial et argentin
.
Diego Maradona a été désigné sélectionneur de l’équipe de football argentine. Une nomination qui divise les Argentins, à la fois euphoriques et méfiants
.
Il a écrit les plus grandes lignes de l’histoire du football mondial et argentin. Aujourd’hui, il est appelé à la rescousse d’une équipe nationale médiocre.
.
Diego Armando Maradona est le nouveau sélectionneur de l’équipe argentine. Celui qui a été désigné en 2000 comme joueur du siècle, selon un sondage réalisé sur Internet, a de nouveau les rênes de l'Albiceleste entre ses mains.
.
A 48 ans aujourd’hui, el Pibe de Oro, le gamin en or, a un nouveau défi à relever : qualifier la sélection pour le mondial 2010. La tâche est loin d’être impossible puisque l’Argentine est actuellement troisième du groupe d’Amérique du Sud.
.
Seules les quatres premières formations décrocheront directement leur billet pour l'Afrique du Sud. Mais l’Albiceleste va mal. Son jeu est médiocre et cela fait plus de 20 ans qu’elle n’est plus devenue championne du monde. C’était en 1986 au Mexique, avec un certain Diego Maradona...
.
Méfiance Mais un grand joueur est - il forcément un grand entraîneur ? Après l’euphorie de voir l’idole du pays prendre la tête de la sélection, les questions sur la compétence de Diego ont fusé. Ses problèmes de santé sont également revenus sur le tapis. Maradona a en effet frôlé la mort après un malaise cardiaque en 2004 lié à son obésité.
.
Avec des joueurs comme Lionel Messi, "heureux de la nomination de Maradona ", elle est capable des plus grands exploits. Premier rendez-vous le 19 novembre face à l’Écosse, pour un match amical au goût particulier.
