Radioactive fish in California on TV

REPORT: Fu.kushima's #4 spent fuel pool

For once, a TV report worth watching. A Japanese program that appeared on Youtube on the 25th of May 2012 and was then translated today.

Fukushima and The New York Times

"There is considerable disagreement among scientists over whether such catastrophes are possible. But some argue that whether the chances are small or large, changes should be made quickly because of the magnitude of the potential calamity." Fu.kushima is cause for concern and deserves some coverage. You don't say!

Thrive

This film was released on April 12, 2012. Thrive means to prosper. Let's do that! That's 'the other story' my beloved sister sent me yesterday. Quite a story isn't it. So many diverse subjects, with examples and illustrations tied into one logical conclusion. It really makes sense. And the fact that it is being released on the web makes me smile and feel wonderfully optimistic. I'm sure you'll love it too. Oh I know, it's long. Two hours and twelve minutes. Make yourself episodes if you don't feel like watching it in a row. I couldn't stop watching. I'm glad to share it with you.

MAMA HOPE and other subjects.

Mama Hope is a non-profit organization focused on building self-sufficient communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. Mama Hope partners with Community Based Organizations and invests in high impact, cost effective projects, that meet their fundamental needs. Here is their channel.http://www.youtube.com/user/MamaHope Watch the first video and tell me those guys don't rock. The whole world rocks actually. You know that don't you? Enjoy!! I've just discovered it thanks to Christiane Amanpour on CNN. She is a very famous journalist and interesting personality. She was harshly criticized at the time of the Bosnian war for ... telling the truth.Read the chapter 'Bosnian War reporting'here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christiane_Amanpour if you're interested. But...,as I was about to write: But... to go back to the subject, my word-curious mind found that: let's get back to the subject (at hand)/topic Or perhaps 'let's get back to the matter in hand' or 'point' (?) There is an old expression my aunt used to use - she was born in the North of England in 1906 or so. 'To return to our muttons' - she said it when she felt we had left the point - she used it just like that, with quasi-imperative force. Oh the web.Speaking of network thinking... It took me from my twitter account to this and to my sister but that's another story. Enjoy Mama Hope! (Yet don't forget Fu...kushima http://www.youtube.com/user/MamaHope

The human cost of Apple products for workers in China

From democracynow.org — Protesters visited a half-dozen Apple stores around the world to deliver petitions calling for reforms in the working conditions at factories run by Apple's suppliers in China. The protests come on the heels of recent revelations of harsh conditions and onerous work environments at Apple's controversial Chinese supplier Foxconn, where more than a dozen employees have committed suicide. We're joined by New York Times reporter Charles Duhigg, who helped break the story about the human costs of Apple products for workers in China. We're also joined by Mike Daisey, whose acclaimed one-man show, "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," is based partly on his visits to Apple's Chinese factories and his interviews with the workers there. "I want Apple to take real responsibility," Daisey says. "They have the resources to change this overnight."

Another notable text removed from Tucson’s classrooms is Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest.” In a meeting this week, administrators informed Mexican-American studies teachers to stay away from any units where “race, ethnicity and oppression are central themes,” including the teaching of Shakespeare’s classic in Mexican-American literature courses.

Cold shutdown?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9JQoR0o9jo
On the 16th of december 2011, Japanese Minister of the Environment Hosono expressed some concern that "No one knows where the fuel is until we open the reactors", but he reaffirmed the cold shutdown, following the lead of his prime minister. He said, "No matter where the fuel is, it is being cooled".
In a typical display of utter disregard for the general public, the Noda administration announced that there would be no more joint press conference where reporters could meet with TEPCO people and the government officials from the Cabinet Office and other relevant ministries and agencies, receive updates and ask questions.

This December 16th joint press conference is to be the last one, now that Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant is officially in a "state of a cold shutdown" and the accident has been decreed by the government to be "over".

The reactions to this news are very varied. As for me, I just have to say "WHAT A SHAME!"

The U.S. reaction? US Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides, who is in Japan, held a press conference on December 16 and disclosed that he had been informed by Foreign Minister Genba on December 15 that Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant had achieved a cold shutdown state. "We at the US government are very happy to hear the news. We believe the Japanese government has made the right choice toward recovery." Regarding the massive decontamination work that will be needed, he said "Many US companies are interested in taking part, and our government has offered assistance", indicating the continued support for the recovery from the nuclear accident.

The Japanese people's reaction: On the 19th, protesters swarmed a square in Shinbashi in Central Tokyo. Old and young protesters arrived in great numbers to the square in Shinbashi where Prime Minister Noda was set to give a speech. It looks both the political left and the right were up against the Noda administration and shouting at the administration officials together against the government and the Nuclear lobby.

If M. Noda didn’t show up, it's because Kim Jong Il has died... or maybe he didn't because the protesters were numerous, angry and noisy. Now, the net media is laughing at Noda, who turned back on his way to the square.
Protesters say they were unjustly withheld by the police from coming into the square while the DPJ(Democratic japanese Party) dignitaries were making speeches. They make their nervous speeches at the beginning of the following video http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19243716 and around 12:00, you can hear the protesters shouting « Genpatsu iranai » which means « Nuclear power stations are not necessary »
and their signs read:

"Cold shutdown is a lie"
"Noda is a liar"
"Protect children"
"Which nuke plant's accident is over? You liar"
"Cold shutdown? Accident Over? Who are you to decide?"

Noam Chomsky on Occupy Wall Street

Really worth the while. M. Chomsky is one of the most important intellectual of our times.
He talks about the significant shift of the economy from productive enterprise to the financialization of the economy.
First, in the 70s, there was a concentration of wealth in the hands of a few which gave them political and legislative power.
Then, these few people, the top one tenth of the one percent of the population, began to dissolve the political and economical system.
He denounces Citi Group one of the most corrupt investment banking corporation that was repeatedly bailed out by the taxpayer.
He tells us that Alan Greenspan testified in congress under the Clinton years was that "Growing worker insecurity is good for the economy."
Chomsky also says the Occupy Wall Street movement is the first popular reaction that could change the fact that power is in the hands of a few.

For the last 9 months people from all over the world have been watching. They have been writing, researching, discussing and making sure this massive disaster that is still ongoing is not forgotten. Even just reading what is going on and being a person who possesses the knowledge of what is really going on in Japan plays a role in making sure this is all known. Sometimes just sharing the news is a powerful thing. Knowledge is power. Information wants to be free.
This is the last § of an article in SimplyInfo.org that remembers the disaster and is dealing with its ongoing nuclear accident in Fukushima Daiichi.
Here:http://www.simplyinfo.org/?p=4306

And from Kyodo News:

Gov't nuclear cleanup work has to wait at least until late March

TOKYO, Dec. 11, Kyodo

The Environment Ministry said Sunday, December 11th, 2011 that full-fledged efforts to decontaminate areas highly polluted by radioactive matter from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant disaster cannot begin until late March or later.

The government needs time to obtain the consent of individual landowners and to secure temporary storage sites for contaminated soil removed from irradiated areas, ministry officials told a panel of experts commissioned to discuss the issue.

At the meeting, the ministry also presented the panel with its draft guidelines for how to go about the cleanup work in areas contaminated with radioactive material emitting one to 20 millisieverts of radiation per year, excluding naturally occurring radioactivity.

I've just read a very deep statement about it and I would like to share it with you.
Thank you [Mauibrad.
Just as they increasingly lose control of the situation, trained manpower becomes a problem. In the manner that they have been dealing with Fukushima, TEPCO and the Japanese Govt. will increasingly lose the manpower educated to deal with the situation. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive."]
{read the post from which this comment comes from http://ex-skf.blogspot.com/2011/11/fukushima-i-nuke-plant-head-of-plant.html#comment-form}

The quote in this comment by mauibrad:"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive." is, surprisingly, not from Shakespeare but from Sir Walter Scott , in Canto VI, Stanza 17 of "Marmion" (1808) an epic poem about the Battle of Flodden Field in 1513.

The meaning is, basically, that lies beget more lies, and that masking lies with more lies creates an ever-more-complex arrangement of falsehoods.

We've got to do something about Fukushima NPP accident in Arago.
Definitely.
Who cares to post a comment that says something like YES! I WANT TO TAKE PART IN THE FUKUSHIMA ARAGO thingy?-I ! if you're from "le lycée Arago" in the comments. FGS below.???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Have you heard of Ron Paul? from France?

November 12th, 2011
On CBS tv network, a Republican presidential primary TV debate took place from Wofford College in South Carolina between Michele Bachmann, Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul, Rick Perry and Rick Santorum.
Have you already heard of those politicians? One of them will be chosen in the Republican primaries to represent the GOP in the 2012 U.S. presidential elections. And might become the next U.S. Prez...
(reminder: GOP stands for Grand Old Party i.e. the Republican party.
Bush, father and son were Republican presidents whereas Clinton husband and wife and Obama are democrats.)

Only 89 seconds of the Ron Paul answers were broadcast on TV. Yet, he receives most of the applause and cheering in the introduction.



The other parts are available online. And here is cbsnews comment after the debate.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57323720-503544/cbs-news-nj-gop-debate-winners-and-losers/

Steve Jobs / Stanford / 2005 / Commencement speaker

A commencement speech or commencement address is a speech given to graduating students, generally at a university, although the term is also used for secondary education institutions. The "commencement" is a ceremony in which degrees or diplomas are conferred upon graduating students. A commencement speech is typically given by a notable figure in the community, during the commencement exercise. The person giving such a speech is known as a commencement speaker. Very commonly, colleges or universities will invite politicians, important citizens, or other noted speakers to come and address the graduating class.

Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks-- including death itself-- at Stanford University's 114th Commencement on Sunday in Stanford Stadium.

Occupy Wall Street: this movement has been going on for three weeks in NYC and spreading across the US. And elsewhere. People marching with placards saying “Tax the rich”, “Welcome to the US autumn” and chanting slogans like: “We are the 99%” or “We are in the United States”.

Extract from a moderator called Canoby on the livestream chat
“Canoby: people who advocate violence, engage in hate speech, constant off topic convseration, disregarding the rules etc. often get permabanned. I have to be strict to keep this place under control... you see how fast it flies in here. Complaining about the rules is not tolerated, they've worked well for us for almost 4 weeks now

And meanwhile in Fukushima:

PS: I quote Reuters:
The highly radioactive water -- officials say 110,000 tonnes, the equivalent of 40 Olympic swimming pools -- is stored in the buildings of the Fukushima Power Plant.

Patriot Act Extended

WASHINGTON — Minutes before a midnight deadline, President Barack Obama signed into law a four-year extension of post-Sept. 11 powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists...

'A Ticking Time Bomb'

This professor, Michio Kaku, also says: 'The nightmare is not over yet.'
And: 'You get this image of Homer Simpson operating the power plant.'

We care for you Japan

Unfortunately, the Fukushima power plant doesn't make the headlines. Not even a word in "Le Monde" ? Oh yes, today's article deals with the fact that Tepco is expecting to lose $ 9 billion dollars.
http://www.lemonde.fr/japon/article/2011/05/11/fukushima-tepco-annoncerait-une-perte-nette-de-9-milliards-d-euros_1519964_1492975.html
and not a word on the huge radioactivity on the site? That's just outrageous.
(See previous post.)

Two months after the HUGE earthquake and the following tsunami.
The plant, its six reactors in a whole load of mess and such a lousy coverage? Weird.
Let it be known that we care for Japan and all the tsunami victims.
And let it be known that we care about the situation in Fukushima nuclear power plant. We want more info, daily complete coverage about FNPP because we care for the Japanese, because we care for our planet and because we can handle the truth.

The Japanese Emperor and his wife show they care here:

A Figure: 700 in Fukushima NPP

700 millisieverts per hour...
http://www3.nhk.or.jp/daily/english/09_23.html
"In Japan, 100 millisieverts is seen as the annual maximum permissible dose for those engaged in emergency repair work. But the current emergency situation has prompted raising the limit to 250 millisieverts."

What it means? Well, for now, it is impossible to work in the plantwithout being in great danger.
Or not totally impossible?
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/nn20110509x2.html
70 millisieverts per hour is safe... with less than four hours a year per worker... Workers needed.

Safety concerns unheeded

Where were safety concerns ignored? In Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant.
When? In June 2010. You don't say...

And 4 years of hard work in the Japanese power plants if cleaning the mess is possible.

Worldwide military spending

Worldwide military spending edged up in 2010 to a record $1.6 trillion, a leading think-tank said on Monday.
And other impressive figures.
