темата по принцип е за един конкретен филм по конкретна книга. Да я не размиваме с това какво бихме искали или не искали да гледаме в обозримо бъдеще. Просто си кажете си мнението за екранизацията Хобит-а.

честно казано въпреки изпипаните ефекти, зрелищния край на Смог и внушителната битка на 5-те армии /която обаче беше доста нелогична на моменти/, нещо ми се видя повърхностен филма. Не ме трогна много изкушението на Торин, а за нещастната развръзка на джуджеско-елфска любов... абе смех си беше направо. Иначе както винаги каскадите на Леголас си бяха от рода: 'е нема такива изпълнения'. На тоя фон предните две части май не са толкова лоши.

туй се прави, за да е по-куул

Weighing up the evidence for the ‘Historical Jesus’ http://theconversation.com/weighing-up-the-evidence-for-the-historical-jesus-35319

Става нещо като Цари Мали Град и Перистера. Но теренът ще е як за възстановка.

Довечера ще го гледам, стига спойлил.

това че ние сме свикнали да си имаме господари, на които безотказно да се дупим, си е наш проблем. Той Аспандиат добре го е описал процеса в една друга тема.

не знам, четейки ви глупостите с такова впечатление оствавам. Но процесс уже пошел - ако Турция продължи политиката си по реанимация на Османската империя, нищо чудно отново да се върнем към характерното състояние /демек рая покорна/.

Колега Йончев, с оглед на последните автохтонни свободни съчинения, дали да не преместим темата в алтернативния раздел? Не за друго, просто да не загрозява форума.

по принцип религиозните утайки, изповядващи манихейската религия /демек павликяни, богомили и прочии екскременти/ са първите прозелити на алтернативни религии /арианство, ислям, юдаизъм и каквото душа хареса/.

абе с фесове щеше да ни е най-добре, майни. В края на краищата нали преклонените главички сабите не ги сечаха?

КГ точно в ерата на глобалното затопляне /преди ледниковия период/ въпросът ти звучи някак си... 'може би':)))

игрите ще ги пропусна /и без това сагата като цяло е една скучна пуберска бозица/. Но след 300 /2/, Херкулеси и Помпеища разни за потребители празни... и когато тъкмо мислих да си резна вените с гладиуса... Светът на мегалания приска се смили над мен и ми пусна гювеч за размисъл /колкото да не ме остави извън борда/. Визирам Транцеден-са, Ръба на Утрешния ден и разбира се... МЕЖДУЗВЕЗДИЕТО... Колкото до хобит-а, като умерен толкинист мога да кажа, че първите две части бяха пълен провал, така че едва ли третата ще вдигне летвата по-високо от вчерашното ми изпълнение на стената на един многоетажен блок... But we will see this situation... maybe;)

ролята на 'Презвитер Йоан' е почти изпълнена от монголите, но благодарение на предателството на тамплиерите последните са победени от мамелюците. Затова и Филип Хубавия ги погва.

Администрация штата Нью-Йорк объявила о запрете добычи сланцевого газа методом гидроразрыва пласта. Ранее фрекинг был запрещён в нескольких других американских городах и штатах. Защитники окружающей среды по всему миру воодушевлены очередным успехом в борьбе с фрекингом. В Великобритании состоялась акция протеста против этого спорного метода, в которой приняли участие более ста знаменитостей. Подробнее — ведущая программы In the Now Анисса Науэй. Противники фрекинга в Нью-Йорке ждали очень долго. И, наконец, их голоса услышали. Штат Нью-Йорк запретил добывать энергоресурсы методом гидроразрыва пласта, известным как фрекинг. Защитники окружающей среды в США одержали ещё одну победу, после того как два года назад фрекинг попал под запрет в штате Вермонт. В Огайо добыча сланцевого газа была приостановлена после нескольких землетрясений. В Техасе семья отсудила у нефтедобывающей компании $3 млн, и в городе Дентон фрекинг был запрещён. К слову, с этого города и началась массовая добыча нефти и природного газа. А в Великобритании более 100 знаменитостей, дизайнеров и художников устроили акцию протеста против использования спорного метода. «Вы не имеете демократического права навязывать британскому народу технологию гидроразрыва пласта», — заявила дизайнер Вивьен Вествуд. Она доставила премьер-министру Дэвиду Кэмерону открытое письмо, которое подписали многие британские знаменитости, в том числе бывший участник группы The Beatles Пол Маккартни, звезда Голливуда Джуд Лоу, актёр и активист Рассел Брэнд, а также единственная и неповторимая Йоко Оно.

4 D принтиране: Explainer: What Is 4D Printing? Additive manufacturing – or 3D printing – is 30 years old this year. Today, it’s found not just in industry but in households, as the price of 3D printers has fallen below US$1,000. Knowing you can print almost anything, not just marks on paper, opens up unlimited opportunities for us to manufacture toys, household appliances and tools in our living rooms. But there’s more that can be done with 3D printed materials to make them more flexible and more useful: structures that can transform in a pre-programmed way in response to a stimulus. Recently given the popular science name of “4D printing”, perhaps a better way to think about it is that the object transforms over time. These sorts of structural deformations are not new – researchers have already demonstrated “memory” and “smart material” properties. One of the most popular technologies is known as shape memory alloy, where a change of temperature triggers a shape change. Other successful approaches use electroactive polymers, pressurised fluids or gasses, chemical stimulus and even in response to light. In a paper published in Nature Scientific Reports, we looked at the design of complex self-deformations in objects that have been printed from multiple materials as a means to customise the object into specific forms. Unlike many others who have demonstrated how to bend simple paper-like shapes, we constructed a two-dimensional grid structure that deforms itself by stretching or shrinking across a complex three-dimensional surface. Imagine dropping a flat stretchable cloth onto a randomly shaped object, where the cloth moulds over the shape beneath it. In geometrical terms, as the curvature of the cloth changes to fit the object, the distances and areas alter. We took this into account by providing a solution that copes with bending and also expansion in size, and came up with several designs that demonstrated that this is possible. Underwater transformation Head of the MIT’s Self-Assembly Laboratory, Skylar Tibbits, started this line of research a few years ago with expanding materials and simple deformations. The collaboration of researchers from MIT’s Camera Culture group and Self-Assembly Laboratory and the companies Stratasys and Autodesk Inc took this further. Our approach was to print 3D structures using materials with different properties: one that remained rigid and another that expanded up to 200% of its original volume. The expanding materials were placed strategically on the main structure to produce joints that stretched and folded like a bendy straw when activated by water, forming a broad range of shapes. For example, a 3D-printed shape that resembled the initials “MIT” was shown to evolve into another formation that looks like the initials “SAL”. What now? We imagine there’s a wide range of applications such as home appliances and products that can adapt to heat or moisture to improve comfort or add functionality. Childcare products that can react to humidity or temperature, for example, or clothes and footwear that optimise their form and function by reacting to changes in the environment. There are also uses for pre-programmed self-deforming materials in healthcare – researchers are printing biocompatible components that can be implanted in the human body. There are many more uses these could be put to if they can be manufactured to change shape and function without external intervention from a surgeon. Individually designed cardiac tubes are one good example. This was a proof of concept for self-transforming materials, with an easy production process and an available suite of tools to customise and analyse the process. But even so, this is just scratching the surface – in the future we aim to produce larger structures which can handle more complex transformations, as well as smaller, miniaturised models which can be used in the body. While we found the deformations could be applied and reversed repeatedly, the material degraded after a while, so we need to improve its long-term durability. With 4D printing there’s a lot to play with. Now, that 3D printing captured our imagination, just think what adding time to the equation could do.

NASA's Curiosity Rover Finds Clues to How Water Helped Shape Martian Landscape This evenly layered rock photographed by the Mast Camera (Mastcam) on NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover on Aug. 7, 2014, shows a pattern typical of a lake-floor sedimentary deposit not far from where flowing water entered a lake. Observations by NASA's Curiosity Rover indicate Mars' Mount Sharp was built by sediments deposited in a large lake bed over tens of millions of years. This interpretation of Curiosity's finds in Gale Crater suggests ancient Mars maintained a climate that could have produced long-lasting lakes at many locations on the Red Planet. "If our hypothesis for Mount Sharp holds up, it challenges the notion that warm and wet conditions were transient, local, or only underground on Mars," said Ashwin Vasavada, Curiosity deputy project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. "A more radical explanation is that Mars' ancient, thicker atmosphere raised temperatures above freezing globally, but so far we don't know how the atmosphere did that." Why this layered mountain sits in a crater has been a challenging question for researchers. Mount Sharp stands about 3 miles (5 kilometers) tall, its lower flanks exposing hundreds of rock layers. The rock layers - alternating between lake, river and wind deposits -- bear witness to the repeated filling and evaporation of a Martian lake much larger and longer-lasting than any previously examined close-up. "We are making headway in solving the mystery of Mount Sharp," said Curiosity Project Scientist John Grotzinger of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. "Where there's now a mountain, there may have once been a series of lakes." Curiosity currently is investigating the lowest sedimentary layers of Mount Sharp, a section of rock 500 feet (150 meters) high, dubbed the Murray formation. Rivers carried sand and silt to the lake, depositing the sediments at the mouth of the river to form deltas similar to those found at river mouths on Earth. This cycle occurred over and over again. "The great thing about a lake that occurs repeatedly, over and over, is that each time it comes back it is another experiment to tell you how the environment works," Grotzinger said. "As Curiosity climbs higher on Mount Sharp, we will have a series of experiments to show patterns in how the atmosphere and the water and the sediments interact. We may see how the chemistry changed in the lakes over time. This is a hypothesis supported by what we have observed so far, providing a framework for testing in the coming year." After the crater filled to a height of at least a few hundred yards, or meters, and the sediments hardened into rock, the accumulated layers of sediment were sculpted over time into a mountainous shape by wind erosion that carved away the material between the crater perimeter and what is now the edge of the mountain. On the 5-mile (8-kilometer) journey from Curiosity's 2012 landing site to its current work site at the base of Mount Sharp, the rover uncovered clues about the changing shape of the crater floor during the era of lakes. "We found sedimentary rocks suggestive of small, ancient deltas stacked on top of one another," said Curiosity science team member Sanjeev Gupta of Imperial College in London. "Curiosity crossed a boundary from an environment dominated by rivers to an environment dominated by lakes." Despite earlier evidence from several Mars missions that pointed to wet environments on ancient Mars, modeling of the ancient climate has yet to identify the conditions that could have produced long periods warm enough for stable water on the surface. NASA's Mars Science Laboratory Project uses Curiosity to assess ancient, potentially habitable environments and the significant changes the Martian environment has experienced over millions of years. This project is one element of NASA's ongoing Mars research and preparation for a human mission to the planet in the 2030s. "Knowledge we're gaining about Mars' environmental evolution by deciphering how Mount Sharp formed will also help guide plans for future missions to seek signs of Martian life," said Michael Meyer, lead scientist for NASA's Mars Exploration Program at the agency's headquarters in Washington. JPL, managed by Caltech, built the rover and manages the project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. For more information about Curiosity, visit: http://www.nasa.gov/msl
