Eiger : wall of death

Uploaded by MrRhar1 on 21 Aug 2011

A BBC documentary telling of the climbing history of The Eiger mountain. The Eiger (3,970 m (13,025 ft)) is a mountain in the Bernese Alps in Switzerland. It is the easternmost peak of a ridge crest that extends across the Mönch to the Jungfrau at 4,158 m. The northern side of the mountain rises about 3,000 m (9,800 ft) above Grindelwald and other inhabited valleys of the Bernese Oberland, and the southern side faces the deeply glaciated region of the Jungfrau-Aletsch, covered by some of the largest glaciers in the Alps.
Since 1935, at least sixty-four climbers have died attempting the north face, earning it the German nickname Mordwand, literally "murder(ous) wall".

Genghis Khan - BBC Documentary

Uploaded by Aljbriable on 24 Jun 2011

Always strike first and always take revenge. Genghis Khan learnt these lessons the hard way during a violent childhood. Son of a murdered father, Genghis grew up in the unforgiving environment of the Mongolian Steppe. But how did an outcast, raised in poverty, come to be the great Khan? Combining live-action footage shot in Mongolia with CGI software used in Lord of the Rings, the recreation of battle scenes is taken to a new level in presenting the story of how Genghis conquered an empire greater than the Roman Empire at its peak. From the ferocious battle for Beijing to the jealous betrayal by his blood brother, Jamuka, Genghis always demanded victory. Almost 700 years after his death, World War II generals were still using his battle plans. But a dark, almost evil, reputation also exists. He is often portrayed as a psychopath who killed his brother and ordered the death of his best friend. Is it accurate to remember Genghis as a merciless, brutal butcher? Let the historical facts presented in this definitive film help you decide.

"Base Jumping is a sport that really sees the best being brought out in all those involved. It is a sport that constantly asks us questions and makes us realise what we can do. When normal community asks why, our heart tells us what if we did not......
Given the right pathways, the right knowledge, the right guidance maybe you can do it too...
I have met some very amazing people, some of which I need to thank for helping put this video together. They include:

ca idei aruncate, nu ca un eseu.

de prin generala de cand am descoperit muzicile astea de la metal la rock, industrial, electro nebun si multe altele mi s-a parut foarte important mesajul multor trupe de la skinny puppy la slayer, sepultura, tool, dredg, FLA, offspring, merzbow si cate altele. la inceput nu intelegeam foarte mult din ziceau oamenii aia dar mereu am avut ceva la care sa ma ma gandesc mai bine fie la probleme legate de religie, economie, animal rights, compasiune, ura, violenta, nationalism, rasism si cate altele. mereu am avut asa o simpatie ptr oameni cu aceleasi gusturi muzicale, mi se parea ca si ei inteleg multe lucruri dintre porcariile ce ne inconjoara si ma gandeam ca daca suntem mai multi care STIU e totul ok si ca muzica asta chiar are putere. nu are. e o mare frectie. azi dupa atatia ani vad foarte multi oameni cu care imi e rusine sa impartasesc gusturile alea muzicale. oameni care striga sus moarte tiganilor, moarte ungurilor, moarte cainilor, muie bucurestenii, muie, moarte, muie, moarte si asculta hardcore sau sludgeuri, experimentale si chestii in general cu pretentii si din care inteleg, nici nu stiu daca se chinuie cineva sa mai inteleaga ceva sau daca e ceva important din toata treaba asta cu muzica. mai o bere mai un dat din cap, cam asta e limita. pentru toti astia cu limitele astea, nu va mai bagati in seama cu mine. nu ma mai salutati, daca aveti trupe de gen nu vreau sa am de a face nici cu muzica voastra, cu nimic. nu vreau sa stiu nici ca existati si ca ascultati vreo mare abureala, vedeti-va de viata voastra micuta si imbecila si FOAD cu berea in mana.

Two Colliding Galaxies

A beautiful new image of two colliding galaxies has been released by NASA’s Great Observatories. The Antennae galaxies, located about 62 million light-years from Earth, are shown in this composite image from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue), the Hubble Space Telescope (gold and brown), and the Spitzer Space Telescope (red). The Antennae galaxies take their name from the long antenna-like “arms,” seen in wide-angle views of the system. These features were produced by tidal forces generated in the collision.

The collision, which began more than 100 million years ago and is still occurring, has triggered the formation of millions of stars in clouds of dusts and gas in the galaxies. The most massive of these young stars have already sped through their evolution in a few million years and exploded as supernovas.

The X-ray image from Chandra shows huge clouds of hot, interstellar gas that have been injected with rich deposits of elements from supernova explosions. This enriched gas, which includes elements such as oxygen, iron, magnesium, and silicon, will be incorporated into new generations of stars and planets. The bright, point-like sources in the image are produced by material falling onto black holes and neutron stars that are remnants of the massive stars. Some of these black holes may have masses that are almost one hundred times that of the Sun.

The Spitzer data show infrared light from warm dust clouds that have been heated by newborn stars, with the brightest clouds lying in the overlapping region between the two galaxies. The Hubble data reveal old stars and star-forming regions in gold and white, while filaments of dust appear in brown. Many of the fainter objects in the optical image are clusters containing thousands of stars.

The Chandra image was taken in December 1999. The Spitzer image was taken in December 2003. The Hubble image was taken in July 2004, and February 2005.

Live And Let Die

Music video by Guns N' Roses performing Live And Let Die. (C) 1991 Guns N' Roses

Ieri cred ca am inteles cea mai importanta lectie din viata mea. In general ma agitam foarte mult cand simteam ca unii vorbesc aiurea, ca denatureaza sensuri. Dar chinuindu'ma de fiecare data sa ma bag eu, sa incerc eu sa schimb, sa discut, sa gasesc o cale, mi'am dat seama ca imi consumam energia inutil, scopul lor e captarea atentiei cu orice pret, nicidecum rezolvarea vreunei probleme. Astfel m'am trezit ca nu mai aveam timp sa fac de fapt ce conta mai mult, adica ceva concret, sa caut si sa ofer o alternativa cum ar veni; care e mai importanta pentru cei care o asteapta decat sa asiste la o cearta penibila cu finalitate nula. Si cand am vazut cat de inversunati pot fi unii impotriva vietii neintelegand problema in complexitatea ei si reducand totul la micile lor neghiobii si strambaciuni, m'am gandit..."oare ce'i recomnada pe ei ca sa merite a fi luati in seama? ce'au facut ei, concret, care poate fi aratat, care a schimbat frumos ceva in cineva?" Si cand mi am dat seama ca nimic, am luat hotararea sa'mi vad de ale mele si sa ma bucur ca viata mi i'a scos din peisaj. Nu pot nega partea urata a lucrurilor si nu ma pot preface ca oamenii astia nu exista, dar ma pot concentra pe partea frumoasa alaturi de cei care prefera sa creeze in loc sa distruga. E, pana la urma, o chestiune de alegere. Asa ca "live and let die".

The Crab Nebula

This is a mosaic image, one of the largest ever taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope of the Crab Nebula, a six-light-year-wide expanding remnant of a star’s supernova explosion. Japanese and Chinese astronomers recorded this violent event nearly 1,000 years ago in 1054, as did, almost certainly, Native Americans.

The orange filaments are the tattered remains of the star and consist mostly of hydrogen. The rapidly spinning neutron star embedded in the center of the nebula is the dynamo powering the nebula’s eerie interior bluish glow. The blue light comes from electrons whirling at nearly the speed of light around magnetic field lines from the neutron star. The neutron star, like a lighthouse, ejects twin beams of radiation that appear to pulse 30 times a second due to the neutron star’s rotation. A neutron star is the crushed ultra-dense core of the exploded star.

The Crab Nebula derived its name from its appearance in a drawing made by Irish astronomer Lord Rosse in 1844, using a 36-inch telescope. When viewed by Hubble, as well as by large ground-based telescopes such as the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope, the Crab Nebula takes on a more detailed appearance that yields clues into the spectacular demise of a star, 6,500 light-years away.

The newly composed image was assembled from 24 individual Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 exposures taken in October 1999, January 2000, and December 2000. The colors in the image indicate the different elements that were expelled during the explosion. Blue in the filaments in the outer part of the nebula represents neutral oxygen, green is singly-ionized sulfur, and red indicates doubly-ionized oxygen.
