Cosmas Damian Asam (September 29, 1686-May 10, 1739) was born in Benediktbeuern. He became a painter and architect during the late Baroque period. In 1711, he moved to Rome to study at the Accademia di San Luca with Carlo Maratta and in 1713 won the Academy's first prize for his drawing of Miracle of Saint Pio. He worked with his brother Egid Quirin and their joint projects are often attributed to the "Asam Brothers". These include the Asam Church in Munich and the Cathedral of St. Jacob in Innsbruck. Cosmas Damian died in Munich.

The book on Rumsfeld
A new book out this week detailing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's preparation for the anti-terror war reveals a top-secret report that includes war predictions in several regions around the globe, notably between Turkey and Greece, and possible government collapses in Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Colombia and Indonesia.

παραθετω αυτο το αποσπασμα χωρις σχολια

The report, "A Primer on the Future Threat," also backs up concerns in the administration that a terrorist group will use a weapon of mass destruction against a U.S. target by 2020. Just as interesting is the DIA's view of a potential war between longtime rivals Greece and Turkey, seemingly forever locked in a tug-of-war over the Aegean island of Cyprus. The report suggests that while both prefer peace, sovereignty issues on Cyprus could erupt into a regional war. "In the event of hostilities," it says, "Turkey and Greece expect and plan for a short conflict, 3-4 days, and assume that the international community would intercede by then to stop the fighting." However, DIA warns, NATO might not jump in as fast as Athens and Ankara think, and that could lead to a longer war.

Αστεροειδής θα «ακουμπήσει» τον Αρη

Για μήνες αναστάτωσε τους αστρονόμους, με την πορεία του στο Ηλιακό μας Σύστημα.
Πέρασε «εφαπτομενικά» από την Γης τον Νοέμβριο, ενώ στη συνέχεια απειλούσε να χτυπήσει τον Αρη!
Στις 28 Δεκεμβρίου 2007, μάλιστα, οι πιθανότητες σύγκρουσής του με τον Αρη έφτασαν στο 4% - δηλαδή 1 στις 25, προκαλώντας... έξαψη στην επιστημονική κοινότητα.
Ολη η αστρονομική κοινότητα ήθελε να παρατηρήσει ένα φαινόμενο που συμβαίνει μία φορά στα 1.000 χρόνια!
Πριν από λίγες μέρες, ωστόσο, ο αστεροειδής «2007wd5» ξεκαθάρισε τις διαθέσεις του. Το μεσημέρι της 30ής Ιανουαρίου (χρονική στιγμή κατά την οποία συναντά την τροχιά του Κόκκινου Πλανήτη) αναμένεται κατά 99,7% να προσπεράσει τον Αρη σε απόσταση μεγαλύτερη των 4.000 χλμ.



«Η παρατήρηση τέτοιων συγκρούσεων είναι κάτι περισσότερο από ενδιαφέρουσα», διευκρινίζει ο διευθυντής του Ευγενίδειου Πλανητάριου, κ. Διονύσης Σιμόπουλος. «Κάτι αντίστοιχο μπορεί κάποια στιγμή να συμβεί και στη Γη, όπως έχει γίνει άλλωστε και στο παρελθόν. Η ανάγκη να καταγραφούν οι επικίνδυνοι αστεροειδείς που διασχίζουν την τροχιά της Γης είναι επιτακτική, καθώς μόνο έτσι θα μπορούμε ίσως να προφυλάξουμε τον πλανήτη μας», υπογραμμίζει ο ίδιος.



Καταγραφές

Τα τελευταία 100 χρόνια έχουν καταγραφεί πτώσεις μετεωριτών πάνω σε 53 σπίτια, 8 αυτοκίνητα, 3 ζώα και 4 ανθρώπους! Πριν από 65.000.000 χρόνια, άλλωστε, οι δεινόσαυροι εξαφανίστηκαν λόγω της σύγκρουσης ενός μεγάλου ιπτάμενου αντικειμένου με τη Γη. Το 1650 ένας μετεωρίτης χτύπησε το πόδι ενός Μιλανέζου μοναχού, που τελικά πέθανε από αιμορραγία. Το 1954 ένας μετεωρίτης 4 κιλών τραυμάτισε ελαφρά μια γυναίκα στην Αλαμπάμα των ΗΠΑ, ενώ το 1978 ένας αρκετά μεγάλος μετεωρίτης έπεσε στον Νότιο Ειρηνικό, αν και εκείνη την εποχή η έκρηξη είχε θεωρηθεί ως μυστική δοκιμή πυρηνικής βόμβας. Το 1991 ένας μετεωρίτης 500 γραμμαρίων πέρασε «ξυστά» από το αυτί ενός 13χρονου στην Ιντιάνα των ΗΠΑ, ενώ το βράδυ της 9ης Οκτωβρίου του 1992 μια φαντασμαγορική μπάλα ουράνιας φωτιάς διέσχισε τον ουρανό πάνω από τις ανατολικές ΗΠΑ, καταλήγοντας στο «πορτμπαγκάζ» ενός αυτοκινήτου, 65 χλμ. έξω από τη Νέα Υόρκη. Ηταν ένας μετεωρίτης 12 κιλών...



Η ατμόσφαιρα της Γης μπορεί να μας προστατεύσει από την εισβολή ιπτάμενων αντικειμένων με διάμετρο μέχρι 50 μέτρων. Μικροί, άλλωστε, αστεροειδείς και κομήτες με διάμετρο 10 μ. εκρήγνυνται στα ανώτερα στρώματα της ατμόσφαιρας μία φορά κάθε 4 με 6 εβδομάδες. Οι μεγαλύτεροι, ωστόσο, ιπτάμενοι εισβολείς που διασχίζουν την τροχιά της Γης, δεν είναι και λίγοι: 500.000 έχουν διάμετρο 50-100 μέτρων, ενώ άλλοι 200.000 πάνω από 100 μέτρα, εκ των οποίων οι 500-1.000 έχουν μέγεθος πάνω από ένα χιλιόμετρο!



Στατιστικά

Την ίδια στιγμή η στατιστική υποστηρίζει πως αστεροειδείς μεγέθους 100-1.000 μέτρων συγκρούονται με τη Γη μία φορά κάθε 250.000 χρόνια. Τα ιπτάμενα αντικείμενα που είναι μεγαλύτερα από ένα χιλιόμετρο «μπλέκουν» την τροχιά τους με αυτήν της Γης μία ή δύο φορές κάθε 1.000.000 χρόνια, ενώ συγκρούσεις αστεροειδών με μέγεθος 15 χλμ. αναμένονται μία φορά κάθε 100.000.000 χρόνια.



Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως η πτώση στον Ατλαντικό ενός αστεροειδούς με διάμετρο 350 μέτρων θα κατέστρεφε τελείως τις παραλίες και των δύο πλευρών του ωκεανού, σε βάθος δεκάδων χιλιομέτρων, δημιουργώντας τσουνάμι ύψους 100 μέτρων! Κι αν τέτοιου είδους συγκρούσεις συμβαίνουν πολύ σπάνια, η πιθανότητα μιας σύγκρουσης με τοπικές μόνο καταστροφές -όπως εκείνης στην περιοχή της Τουνγκούσκα στη Σιβηρία το 1908- έχει πιθανότητα μία στις τρεις να συμβεί μέσα στα επόμενα 100 χρόνια...



Καταγράφουν τις εξωγήινες επιδρομές

Ενα ειδικό πρόγραμμα της NASA για την καταγραφή των επικίνδυνων αστεροειδών υπολογίζεται ότι θα μπορέσει σε 10-20 χρόνια να καταγράψει το 90% των εξωγήινων πιθανών επιδρομέων. Ηδη σε μια 2ετία καταλογογραφήθηκαν 200 επικίνδυνοι αστεροειδείς με διάμετρο πάνω από 200 μ. Ο Ευρωπαϊκός Διαστημικός Οργανισμός (ESA) σχεδιάζει την τοποθέτηση σε γήινη τροχιά ενός δορυφόρου-φρουρού με την ονομασία «Γαία». Το πρόγραμμα αυτό, που αναμένεται να κοστίσει περίπου 600.000.000 ευρώ, σχεδιάζεται να εκτοξευτεί τον Δεκέμβριο του 2011 για να καταγράψει ένα δισεκατομμύριο άστρα, γαλαξίες και άλλα ουράνια αντικείμενα.



ΤΑΞΙΔΕΥΕΙ ΜΕ 45.000 ΧΛΜ./ΩΡΑ

Ο αστεροειδής «2007wd5» ανακαλύφθηκε από τα τηλεσκόπια της NASA στις 20 του περασμένου Νοέμβρη. Εχει διάμετρο 50 μέτρα και ταξιδεύει με ταχύτητα 45.000 χλμ. την ώρα. Στις 21/12 οι πιθανότητες σύγκρουσής του με τον Αρη ήταν 1 στις 75 -1,3%, ενώ στις 28/12 άγγιξαν το 3,9%- δηλαδή 1 στις 25. Οι πλέον πρόσφατες παρατηρήσεις (9/1) κάνουν λόγο για μηδενική πιθανότητα σύγκρουσης - 1 στις 10.000... Αν ο Κόκκινος Πλανήτης βρισκόταν στον δρόμο του αστεροειδούς, τότε η εντυπωσιακή έκρηξη θα δημιουργούσε έναν τεράστιο κρατήρα, με διάμετρο μεγαλύτερη των 800 μέτρων, ενώ τεράστιες ποσότητες σκόνης θα εκτοξεύονταν στο Διάστημα.

o Heath Ledger βρεθηκε νεκρός...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heathcliff Andrew Ledger (April 4, 1979 – January 22, 2008)[1] was an Academy Award-nominated Australian actor. After appearing in television roles during the 1990s, Ledger developed a Hollywood career. He starred in both critical and financial successes, including The Patriot, Monster's Ball, and Brokeback Mountain, and completed the role of The Joker in the forthcoming The Dark Knight. Ledger died in New York City on January 22, 2008.

Early life and family
Ledger was born in Perth, Western Australia, the son of Sally Ledger Bell (née Ramshaw), a French teacher, and Kim Ledger, a race car driver and mining engineer. Ledger's mother is descended from the Clan Campbell of Scotland and his father comes from a family known in Perth for their ownership of the Ledger Engineering Foundry.Heath (Heathcliff) and his sister Katherine were named after the two main characters in Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust was named after his great-grandfather. Ledger attended Guildford Grammar School, where he had his first acting experiences, starring in a school production as Peter Pan at age 10.

Early career
At sixteen, Ledger sat for early graduation exams, and left school to pursue an acting career[6] with girlfriend Jenna Sorrell. With his best friend, Trevor DiCarlo, Ledger made the cross-country drive to Sydney. He returned to Perth for the TV series Sweat (1996), in which he played a gay cyclist.
Heath Ledger as Ennis del Mar in Brokeback MountainIn 1996, prior to his film debut in the 1997 Australian movie Blackrock, Heath Ledger was involved in the short lived Fox Broadcasting Company fantasy-drama Roar. In 1999, Ledger starred in the teen comedy 10 Things I Hate About You and also had the lead role in the acclaimed Australian movie Two Hands, directed by Gregor Jordan.
2000–2008
From 2000 to 2005 he starred in The Patriot, Monster's Ball, A Knight's Tale, The Four Feathers, Ned Kelly, The Order, and The Brothers Grimm. In 2001, he won a ShoWest Award for the Male Star of Tomorrow based on his performance in The Patriot, and worldwide release of A Knight's Tale. In 2003, he was named one of Australian GQ's Men of the Year for acting.
Ledger received "Best Actor of 2005" awards from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the San Francisco Film Critics Circle for his acclaimed performance in Brokeback Mountain, in which he plays Wyoming ranch hand Ennis Del Mar, who has a love affair with aspiring rodeo rider Jack Twist, played by Jake Gyllenhaal. He also received a nomination for Golden Globe Best Actor in a Drama and a nomination for Academy Award for Best Actor for this performance. In the New York Times review of the film, critic Stephen Holden wrote:
"Both Mr. Ledger and Mr. Gyllenhaal make this anguished love story physically palpable. Mr. Ledger magically and mysteriously disappears beneath the skin of his lean, sinewy character. It is a screen performance, as good as the best of Marlon Brando and Sean Penn."
In another review in Rolling Stone, Peter Travers wrote:

"Ledger's magnificent performance is an acting miracle. He seems to tear it from
his insides. Ledger doesn't just know how Ennis moves, speaks and listens; he
knows how he breathes. To see him inhale the scent of a shirt hanging in Jack's
closet is to take measure of the pain of love lost."

Also in 2005, Ledger played a fictionalized version of Giacomo Casanova in Casanova. The film, a romantic comedy which co-starred Sienna Miller, drew mixed reviews from critics and failed to find a significant audience among general moviegoers.
In 2006, Ledger was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. In 2007, he was one of six actors to portray different sides of singer Bob Dylan in the film I'm Not There.
Ledger played iconic comic book villain The Joker in The Dark Knight, the sequel to the 2005 film Batman Begins, opposite fellow I'm Not There star Christian Bale. The film is set to debut on July 18, 2008.
The film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, in which he had been cast, was in production at the time of his death.

Music
Ledger started a record company with singer Ben Harper. His first step in the music business was directing Harper's music video for "Morning Yearning". In 2006, Ledger directed three music videos: "Cause an Effect" and "Seduction Is Evil (She's Hot)" for Australian hip-hop artist N'fa, as well as "Morning Yearning" for Ben Harper.
In 2007, Ledger spoke at a news conference at the Venice Film Festival about his desire to direct a music video set to the music of Nick Drake, even though he also said at the conference that such hopes had faded away. It was found out after Ledger's death that he had, in his final days, created a music video for Nick Drake's 1974 song "Black Eyed Dog", one of the last songs recorded by Drake. The black-and-white video, which has not been released to the public, shows the camera being turned on Ledger, who, at the end of the video, drowns in a bathtub.

Public image
Ledger had a turbulent relationship with paparazzi photographers. It is alleged that he spat at and assaulted a photographer in Sydney in 2004, while a relative also is alleged to have spat on a photographer in 2005. Ledger strongly denied the accusation. On January 13, 2006, several photographers retaliated, squirting Ledger with water pistols as he walked the red carpet for the Sydney premiere of Brokeback Mountain.
Ledger was also subject to criticism in the press following his performance on stage at the 2005 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Ledger was seen giggling when presenting Brokeback Mountain as a nominee for Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. The Los Angeles Times described his behavior as "some kind of gay spoof."Ledger later called the Times to explain that his actions were the result of stage fright, saying that he was only told he would be presenting the award minutes beforehand. "I am so sorry and I apologize for my nervousness," Ledger told the newspaper.
Ledger came under fire after he was quoted in January 2006 in Australia's Herald Sun as saying that West Virginia had banned Brokeback Mountain (which it had not). He also referred to the state as having had lynchings as recently as the 1980s. These statements have been roundly disputed by archivists and historians, who state that the last extra-legal public hanging in West Virginia occurred in 1931.

Personal life
From August 2002 to April 2004, Ledger had a relationship with actress Naomi Watts, whom he met during the filming of Ned Kelly.Previously, he had dated actresses Lisa Zane and Heather Graham.
Ledger was engaged to actress Michelle Williams, whom he met on the set of Brokeback Mountain.Their daughter, Matilda Rose, was born on October 28, 2005 in New York City. The child's godparents are Ledger's Brokeback costar Jake Gyllenhaal and Williams' Dawson's Creek castmate Busy Phillips. Ledger and his family divided their time between Brooklyn, Los Angeles, and Sydney.Ledger sold his Australian residence in Bronte, New South Wales, for A$7 million.
In August 2007, Us Weekly reported that Ledger and Williams ended their relationship because of their busy schedules. Neither Ledger nor Williams confirmed the rumor at that time. In September, 2007, Williams' father, Larry, confirmed to Sydney Daily Telegraph that Ledger and Williams had indeed split.
In early 2008, Ledger was reported to have been seeing model Gemma Ward after media articles linked the two together at end of 2007 holiday celebrations.

Death
Australian actor Heath Ledger found dead in New York CityLedger was found dead in his fourth-floor apartment at 421 Broome Street in the SoHo neighborhood of New York City on January 22, 2008. He was found at 3:26 p.m. EST by a housekeeper and a massage therapist, who entered the bedroom to find him face down and unconscious at the foot of his bed with sleeping pills on a nearby night table. Police said that they also found prescription medication in the bathroom and that there were "no obvious signs" of suicide, nor did they suspect foul play.
On January 23, 2008 Ledger's parents and sister—who learned of his death from a radio broadcast—appeared outside Ledger's mother's house in Applecross, a riverside Perth suburb, and read a short statement to the media:

"We, Heath's family, confirm the very tragic, untimely and accidental passing
of our dearly loved son, brother and doting father of Matilda, who was found in
a peaceful sleep in his New York apartment by his housekeeper at 3:30pm [New
York Time]. We would like to thank our friends and everyone around the world for
their kind wishes at this time. Heath has touched so many people on so many
different levels during his short life, but few had the pleasure to truly know
him. He was a down-to-earth, generous, kind-hearted, life-loving and unselfish
individual who was an extreme inspiration to many. Please now respect our
family's need to grieve and come to terms with our loss privately."

In reaction to his death, former partner Michelle Williams was reported as saying that she was "devastated" at the loss and had boarded a plane to New York City. Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd released a statement saying, "It was with great sadness that I have learned of the passing of Heath Ledger... It is tragic that we have lost one of our nation's finest actors in the prime of his life.

How men and women differ

NICKNAMES

* If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.

* If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT

* When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in £20, even though it's only for £32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.

* When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY

* A man will pay £2 for a £1 item he needs.

* A woman will pay £1 for a £2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale

BATHROOMS

* A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from M&S.

* The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS

* A woman has the last word in any argument.

* Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

FUTURE

* A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.

* A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS

* A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.

* A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE

* A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.

* A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does

DRESSING UP

* A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins, answer the phone, read a book, and get the post.

* A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL

* Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.

* Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING

* Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.

* A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

* Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

ευχαριστώ Ζίνα!!!

Ο Θέμος ο Μάκης και τα ....μύρια

Επειδή οι πιο πάνω αναφερόμενοι τιμιοι μεροκαματιαρήδες, δεν έχουν στον Ήλιο μοίρα!!!

Χτυπημένοι από το κεφάλαιο και τα μεγαλοεκδοτικά συμφέροντα θα χάσουν την εφημεριδούλα τους…

Αυτά τα πρότυπα αριστερής συνείδησης και καθημερινής πρακτικής.

Που δεν έχουν πειράξει ποτέ κανέναν, ακλουθώντας πάντα την δεοντολογία , τα χτυπά η καταραμένη δεξιά και ζητά την εξόντωσή τους.

Προτείνω εμείς οι μ@λ@κες, τίμια εργαζόμενοι να κάνουμε έναν έρανο για να τα υποστηρίξουμε τα παλληκάρια, στις δύσκολες στιγμές που περνάνε!!!

Τι λέτε δεν συμφωνείτε ;
