Rage Against The Machine top UK singles chart

by Admin

Sunday, December 20, 2009

Rock band Rage Against The Machine have beaten Joe McElderry to become the UK’s official Christmas number one, following one of the biggest battles in the history of the UK Singles Chart. Their song Killing in the Name pushed the X Factor winner’s new single The Climb into second place.

A Facebook campaign backing the American band aimed to stop an X Factor winner reaching the Christmas number one spot once again. Artists from the TV talent show, owned by music mogul Simon Cowell, have taken the festive top spot for four years in a row. The group attracted over 900,000 members and widespread press attention, after it was started by Jon and Tracy Morter.

“Are you getting fed up about the possibility of ANOTHER X-Factor Christmas No.1? …us too…so we’re going to do something about it!,” they said on the group’s Facebook page. They decided to back “Killing In The Name”, first released in 1992.

Cowell had previously branded the campaign “cynical”, but on Saturday contacted the Morters to congratulate them on making a “very exciting race for the Christmas number one”. The campaign has also raised over £69,000 for homeless charity Shelter.

Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello had backed the campaign on Twitter. He announced that the band would play a free victory gig in the UK if they reached number one.

The result was announced on BBC Radio 1‘s chart show this evening by Scott Mills. McElderry had been due to appear on the show, but did not arrive.

Russian territory expands by 4.5 square kilometres after seismic activity

by Admin

Saturday, November 14, 2009

According to scientists, the land territory of Russia has expanded by about 4.5 square kilometres within the last few years in the Far East due to seismic and volcanic activity.

The gained land was recorded in the Sakhalin Peninsula. Boris Levin, head of the Institute for Sea Geology and Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, said that the increase happened primarily due to two seismic events.

The first, in August of 2007, was when a heavy 6.8 earthquake near the city of Nevelsk in the Far East raised about three square kilometres of seabed above the level of the water. The second was in June of this year, when the Sarychev Peak volcano on the Matua Island erupted. GPS trackers on the Matua island were used to monitor the eruption, and the volcano changed its shape, adding 1.5 square kilometres of land, scientists said.

Geologists also reported that the Kuril Islands nearby were slowly moving towards mainland Russia at an estimated rate of eighteen milimetres per year.

DiCaprio finally wins Oscar for Best Actor

by Admin

Monday, February 29, 2016

Yesterday Leonardo DiCaprio won his first Oscar, for Best Actor, at the 88th Academy Awards. The award ended DiCaprio’s long wait for an Academy Award — he was first nominated in 1993 and won on his sixth nomination, for his role in The Revenant, which also won Best Cinematography and Best Director.

I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much.

In his acceptance speech, DiCaprio described The Revenant as “about man’s relationship to the natural world”, and spoke of underprivileged people affected adversely by human activities on nature. He also said “Our production needed to move to the southern tip of this planet just to be able to find snow”. He concluded saying “I thank you all for this amazing award tonight. Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted. Thank you so very much.”

DiCaprio was previously nominated for his work in The Wolf of Wall Street, for Best Actor and Best Picture; Blood Diamond, for Best Actor; The Aviator, Best Actor; and What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, for Best Supporting Actor.

Kate Winslet, who co-starred with DiCaprio in Titanic, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for Steve Jobs, but lost to Swedish actress Alicia Vikander for her role in The Danish Girl. Brie Larson collected Best Actress for her performance in Room.

Mad Max: Fury Road had ten nominations and won six of them: Best Costume Design, Film Editing, Makeup and Hairstyling, Production Design, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing. Ex Machina won the award for Best Visual Effects. Spotlight won the Best Picture award, and Sam Smith’s song Writing’s on the Wall won Best Original Song for Spectre ahead of the Grammy-winning song Earned It by Canadian singer The Weeknd.

Important Loading Dock Equipment

Important Loading Dock Equipment

by

Daniel Williams

While there are many pieces of loading dock equipment that will be important to your business over the years, perhaps none is more important than the loading dock ramp. This ramp will ensure that your shipping and receiving is handled safely and properly. What you may not know is that it can be less expensive and just as safe to purchase a used dock ramp for your company\’s needs.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iai8N43-ZN8[/youtube]

The loading dock equipment your employees use every day isn\’t cheap. In fact, your whole company is a huge financial investment. Wouldn\’t you feel better knowing that even with that huge investment, you can make smart financial choices that also benefit your business? Purchasing a used dock ramp is one such decision. Dock ramps can get very expensive, and buying used can save you money. Not only that, but a used dock ramp is re-purposed, which means that valuable resources and energy didn\’t have to be spent in order to make your equipment. Think of it as a little gift you can give the environment. Of course, there are many considerations you have to make when buying loading dock equipment. What kind of materials do you move? Weight considerations are perhaps the single most important factor when you choose a used dock ramp. It will help you determine how long your ramp should be, what material it is made of, and even if you want a stationary or mobile ramp. Other factors go into your loading dock equipment decisions as well. If you don\’t have a regular loading dock, or if you don\’t have as many loading docks as you currently need, a mobile used dock ramp may be just the thing you need. Mobile ramps allow you to load and unload from a truck without a dock. That means that even when things are very busy and all your docks are full, you can keep working at top speed without letting trucks linger. Keep safety features in mind when you buy a used dock ramp. One standard safety feature is serrated steel grating. This grating is specifically designed to allow forklifts to get greater traction on the ramp. And since one of the worst things that can happen is the failure of your loading dock equipment, you want to make sure that everything is designed to be supported and stable while your employees do their work. With a little thought and some careful examination, you can find the used dock ramp that is perfect for your business.

Purchasing a good

loading dock equipment

is one such decision which when you make will surely give a new level of profit and comfort to your business. It\’s not only useful in increasing the convenience of your workers but also increases the safety and security of the task. Therefore, don\’t just wait around and purchase a

used dock ramp

right away.

Toothpaste fills cavities without drilling

by Admin

Thursday, February 24, 2005

A paste containing synthetic tooth enamel can seal small cavities without drilling. Kazue Yamagishi and colleagues at the FAP Dental Institute in Tokyo say that the paste can repair small cavities in 15 minutes.

Currently, fillers don’t stick to such small cavities so dentists must drill bigger holes. Hydroxyapatite crystals, of which natural enamel is made, bond with teeth to repair tiny areas of damage.

Yamagishi and colleagues have tested their paste on a lower premolar tooth that showed early signs of decay. They found that the synthetic enamel merged with the natural enamel. The synthetic enamel also appears to make teeth stronger which will improve resistance to future decay. As with drilling, however, there is still the potential for pain: The paste is strongly acidic to encourage crystal growth and causes inflammation if it touches the gums.

The paste is reported in the journal Nature.

Massive ice deposits found on Mars

by Admin

Friday, March 16, 2007

The European Space Agency‘s Mars Express spacecraft has discovered ice deposits in the south pole of Mars that are larger than the state of Texas.

Scientists say that there is enough water in the deposits to cover the entire planet with up to 36 feet of water if the ice was to melt. Some sections of the ice deposits are up to 2.3 – 2.5 miles deep. The ice is composed of carbon dioxide, a little bit of dust, and water (90 percent of the water is estimated to be frozen).

What has caught the attention of the scientists working on the Mars Express project is that this may help reveal whether or not there is any (microbial) life within the ice.

Another perplexing question that scientists are trying to solve is what happened to all the water that produced all the channels on the surface of Mars.

Jeffrey Plaut, who is from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California and who is also leading the study, noted that, “We have this continuing question facing us in studies of Mars, which is: where did all the water go? Even if you took the water in these two (polar) ice caps and added it all up, it’s still not nearly enough to do all of the work that we’ve seen that the water has done across the surface of Mars in its history.”

Currently, only 10 percent of the water is remaining and is located at the poles of Mars. It has been suggested that some of the remaining 90 percent of the water that disappeared could either be underground or could have simply left the atmosphere into space.

Train derailed by collision with semi in Saskatchewan, Canada

by Admin

Tuesday, March 22, 2005

Twenty-four cars of a west-bound Canada Pacific train were thrown from the tracks after the train collided with a semi tractor-trailer in poor weather and visibility near Regina, Saskatchewan around 11 a.m. Tuesday morning. The driver was rushed to hospital.

The accident took place on a level section of Highway 46 just north of Highway 1, about 25 kilometres east of Regina. The RCMP spokesperson reported the crossing is marked with lights, but weather may have played a role.

“Road conditions were wet and sloppy and it’s foggy,” RCMP Cpl. Brian Jones said to the CBC. The bad weather, including a heavy overnight snowfall, may have contributed to the accident.

Most of the 93 cars in the train were empty bulk transit cars, used for moving agricultural products such as grains. The RCMP report that neither train or truck were transporting any hazardous materials.

Making The Most Of Movers Ct Packing Services

Moving is always a stressful time with all that one must begin to prepare for the big day. From the moment, one makes the decision to begin the process of a move, the number of tasks requiring consideration mounts to an overwhelming level. Some people handle moves with enormous skill and ease. However, many individuals and families need assistance in a number of the aspects of moving. A wide range of companies reach out to their customer before, during, and after a move to help coordinate the changing of services even if outside their current service area. However, many people need help with the work required to prepare the house for the move. Because helping movers is their job, many companies can provide services without the emotional attachments along the way. Professional moving and packing companies understand that each item is valuable and treats it as such, offering quick and efficient services.

Each item is valuable and dear to you, and you need to protect the items in the move.

movers CT bring the professional skills and tools to pack all items even the most delicate ones for safe arrival. The individuals and families can spend time going through the items they want to move and those they are ready to part with because someone else is taking care of the packing.
