The Other Me and Æon Flux

Some clips of the movie "The Other Me". I already saw this movie, but was long time ago. I like the movie is funny.
The Other me is a movie about a little boy that accidently clone himself. The story is about Will Browning that is a slacker student who needs a good grade at Science, or he has to go to a Summer camp. So he decide to buy a product named "Ocean Pets" to be is Science project. The "Ocean Pets" is a product that creates little marine creatures via cloning. Will accidently leaks the clone formula, and when he's mixing the formula he accidently creates a clone of himself. Because the clone is smarter than him, Will send the clone to school.


400 years in the future, set in the year 2415, Aeon Flux is a mysterious assassin. Four centuries after a virus nearly decimated the human race, leaving only five million survivors in a utopian city called Bregna. Aeon is struggling to destroy the Goodchild regime led by its namesake, Trevor Goodchild, the ruler of Bregna and a descendant of the man who found a cure for the deadly virus. As instructed by the Handler, Aeon is assigned to assassinate Goodchild, but there are deeper secrets to be discovered, and conspiracies to be foiled. The people of Bregna, all of they, are clones. They have one balloon where they keep the DNA of all the people and through when someone dies they create the person that dies again in other family with other identity.
I alreay saw this movie and I liked! The way they have the DNA informations about each person in the air ballon and the way they create the person who just died but in other family with other identity is weird. I reccomend the movie, have action, adrenaline, is a good movie.

Global Warming

Global warming refers to the increase in average temperature of the oceans and the air near the Earth's surface that has been experienced in recent decades, and the possibility of continuing it during the current century.

If this increase is due to natural causes or anthropogenic (man-made) is still the subject of some debate among scientists, although many meteorology and climatology have recently said publicly that they consider evidence that human action is actually influencing the occurrence of the phenomenon. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) established by the United Nations and World Meteorological Organization in 1988, in its most recent report [1] says that much of the warming observed over the past 50 years has most likely been due to an increase in greenhouse effect caused by rising concentrations of greenhouse gases of anthropogenic origin (including, in addition to the increase of greenhouse gases, other changes such as those due to greater use of groundwater and soil for agriculture and an industrial increased energy consumption and pollution). The scientific consensus is that global warming is anthropogenic. Most academies of sciences of the world made a joint so that there was no consensus about the doubts.

The effects of external agents on the climate are complicated by several processes cyclical and self-powered, called Feedbacks. One of the most pronounced of these processes is related to the evaporation of water. The injected CO2 in the atmosphere causes the heating of it and the Earth's surface. The warming leads to more evaporation of water, and as the water vapor is a greenhouse gas, this leads to more warming, which in turn causes more evaporation of water, and so on, until it reached a new balance dynamic, with increased humidity and the concentration of water vapor, leading to an increase in greenhouse effect much greater than that due only to increase the concentration of CO2. This effect can only be reversed very slowly, since the CO2 has an average time of life a lot longo.Um feedback in the atmosphere still subject to research and debate is caused by clouds. Viewed from below, the clouds emit infrared radiation back to the surface, warming the same . Viewed from above, they reflect the sunlight and emit infrared radiation into space, cool the planet. The overall increase in concentration of water vapor may or may not cause an increase in average global coverage of clouds. Therefore, the effective role of clouds is not yet well defined, but its effects are less relevant that the only water vapor, and in models of the IPCC, they contribute to the heating <. Another important feedback is the relationship ice-albedo . The increased rate of CO2 in the atmosphere increases the temperature of the Earth and leads to melting of ice near the poles. With the melting of ice, land or sea open occupy its place. Both are, on average, substrates with lower capacity to think the ice, and thus absorb more solar radiation. This causes even more warming, causing more melting of ice, and the cycle continues. The positive feedback (pro-warming) due to the release of CO2, CH4 with the melting of permafrost is another mechanism that contributes to warming. Furthermore, the release of methane due to unfreeze funds for ocean is more a mechanism to be considered. The ability of oceanic absorption of carbon decreases with the heating, because the low levels of nutrients in the mesopelágica limit the growth of algae, encouraging the development of species phytoplanktonic minors, who are not as good absorbent carbon.

Consequences:

Because of the potential effects on human health, economy and environment global warming has been a source of great concern. Major environmental changes have been observed and were linked to global warming. Examples of secondary evidence cited below (reduction in ice cover, sea level rise, changes in weather patterns) are examples of the consequences of global warming that may influence not only the human activities but also ecosystems. Increased global temperature change allows an ecosystem, some species may be forced out of their habitats (possibility of extinction) due to changes in condition while others can spread, invading other ecosystems.

The Island

This is a suspense movie that shows things about cloning. It's a good way to help you understanding how clones are, what process and more about that. It's a little bit complicaded to understand the movie but in my opinion is a good film.

The story happens in 2019. Administrators say the residents that they are there because they are the only survivors of the attack of a dangerous virus which attacked throughout the land. The only place on earth where this virus is not enough a heavenly place called The Island.
Lincoln Six Echo, discovers a secret part. There he saw a shocking scene: the doctors killing his friend and drawing it shares body. Lattely, discovered several pockets of water with more residents inside. Gradually, with the help of others, discovers that the residents of that thing are actually identical clones to people from the outside world. People who can afford to take a reserve corps, should it need a part of it. And this island there was an excuse for being taken by doctors and be killed when people wanted.
Lincoln and Jordan, a girl that Lincolin felt in love, leave the unknown world and contrary to what they thought, inhabited. Jordan had been sent to discover that the island because of a disease contracted by itself, and Lincoln discovers himself, a famous tyrant, rich and frivolous. He starts saving the trouble of clones created and administered mainly by Dr. Merrick.

Make your own bag

We spent money and buy a bag every time because usually we go to the supermarket daily. So, if we make our own bag we don't have to buy a plastic bag (that helps the envyronment) and save some money. There is a good idea, you can make your own bag and recycle your newspaper at the same time. I'll show how can you do that:



Good Work!

Transgenic Manipulation

The technique of introducing new genetic material into the germline of mammals has been a major development in biotechnology over the last decades."Transgenic animals" are animals whose chromosomes contain stable, integrated copies of exogenous genes, additional copies of endogenous genes or gene constructs. They are frequently created by two different techniques: microinjection of DNA into the pronucleus of zygotes and injection of embryonic stem cells into blastocysts. This video covers microinjection of DNA into the pronucleus of zygotes.

Recycle

Our household waste, which is done throughout the world community, is usually put in dumps and landfills. To reduce waste from landfills and dumps you can recycle some waste that can be reused again for us. So, the waste that must be separed and manipulated in specialized factorys. In Portugal the types of waste that can be separated are, glass; paper and another types os paper; plastic / metal, baterries and recently electrical.

Now, i'll show the ecopoints where we can put the waste:


Here, could be package of creams, shampoos, packs of yogurt, such as metal cans of tuna, and another type of things like these ones.


Here could be all the types of paper, newspaper, megazines and more


Here could be glass, all the types of glass less lamps

Everyone should recycle, it's for a better environment it's a benefit for our lives.
It's not difficult you just have to be aware of this.
Good Recycling!

Wind Energy

Wind energy is today considered one of the most promising natural sources of energy, mainly because it is renewable, ie not be exhausted. Moreover, the wind turbines can be used both in connection with electricity networks and in isolated places.

Portugal is one of the best places to set up wind mills capable of generating electricity due to the weather situation that we submitted. The windmills can be applied to the generation or production of electricity. In this case, the structure is only composed of a hollow rod or a metal frame, on top of which is a turbine. The blades are large, modern appliances in reaching between 40 to 90 meters in length and run slowly. The equivalent to the mast of the windmill hitherto described is directly connected to a generator element capable of converting the kinetic energy of rotation into electrical energy that is adjusted or corrected and then channeled to the common network for the supply of electricity.

This is a very efficient and clean way to generate electricity. Especially when the power plants are a major source of production of toxic waste and air pollution. Today it is clear that this form of energy production is increasingly common especially in our area where we see many windmills.

Mc. Genetic Modificacion

This video shows the very specific situation of the genetic mutation products of Mc Donald and its consequences in a very funny and simple way. Also gives a brief explanation of what is really a genetic mutation. Algo same farms have already provided significant improvements in the quantity and quality of the food supply while reducing economic cost, energy usage, pesticide usage, fuel usage, soil erosion and carbon emissions, with no scientifically-documented evidence of harm to human health.
