<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.parma-airport.it/immagini/advertising.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="202" />I read a great post this week over at <a href="http://enviralment.wordpress.com/2009/11/25/mcdonalds-thinks-you-are-a-big-dumb-green-idiot/" target="_blank">enviralment</a> about the greening of Mcdonald&#8217;s, and the length that companies will go to sell themselves off as eco-conscious.  There is no question that advertising, and branding work.  Daily we are bombarded by more than 2000 messages telling us how we can improve every little insignificant aspect of our lives.  From <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays" target="_blank">Edward Bernays</a> to viral ads, marketing hopes to play on euphoria and emotion creating a feeling that continuously resonates with the consumer and hopefully influences their future decisions.  So how do you market an idea? How do you market a movement? Well NGO&#8217;s and environmental groups have been continuously asking themselves this question since their inception and here are  some of the most creative advertisements that I have seen dealing with anthropogenic global warming, power consumption, and climate change.  Enjoy.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Desrespeito e manipulação</strong>. Tentando informar sobre as causas e efeitos do blackout, o programa Hoje em Dia ia entrevistar o secretário de Minas e Energia Márcio Zimmerman. Mas foi interrompido com a notícia: &#8220;<strong>primeiro a Globo</strong>&#8220;.<br />
Pós- tempo: devido ao número enorme de comentários. Que se fique claro. A Record invadiu o link da Globo? Sim. Por que fez isso? Talvez por que na produção da entrevista (na pauta), a assessoria possa ter dado preferência para a Globo.</p>

<description><![CDATA[I’m not old enough to remember the 2nd World War, having been born three years after the end of it, ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/black-out-book.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-406" title="Black-out book" src="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/black-out-book.jpg" alt="" width="165" height="165" /></a>I’m not old enough to remember the 2<sup>nd</sup> World War, having been born three years after the end of it, but books about what it was like during the war (rather than books about military campaigns) often fascinate me. <em>The Black-out Book</em> [Osprey £9.99 9781846039232] is a case in point. It’s a compilation of games puzzles, short poems, quotations and so on which were intended to help while away the hours spent stuck in air raid shelters during the long nights of the blitz. The compiler is “<a href="http://www.ospreypublishing.com/authors/profile.aspx?ID=4257" target="_blank">Evelyn August</a>” – actually a pseudonym for two people: Sydney and Muriel Box, who were both film producers and one of their films won an Oscar for best original screenplay in 1946. As to the book, well it’s probably something you’ll love or hate. I found it very twee and dated, but then that’s what it’s bound to be. Perhaps in spite of myself, I couldn’t help dipping into it time and time again. It really is something that still fulfils its purpose of helping to while away a spare moment. We may not have any air raids going on at the moment, thank goodness, but the world still has plenty of troubles and we need to be distracted from time to time to keep our heads.</p>
<p>There’s a series of books that has been available for some time now which seems to be aimed at those who fondly remember  their school days and the old fashioned ways in which we used to learn.  <em>I Before E (Except After C): Old-School Ways to Remember Stuff</em> [Michael O’Mara  978-1843172499 £9.99] was one of the first and one which I may have mentioned before.  Later ones include <em>Thirty Days Has September</em> [Buster Books  £7.99 978-1906082260]. It’s a later addition to the series, but seems to be aimed more at young people than adults. It claims to help you remember all those rules of science, spelling, history and geography by employing all those tricks which have stood the test of time. It includes a lot of mnemonics such as My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas being a way to remember the names of the planets – as long as you can remember what the letters stood for.  By the way, I was always taught that it was “Thirty days <span style="text-decoration:underline;">hath</span> September”.</p>
<p><a href="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/as-easy-as-pi1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-408" title="As easy as pi" src="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/as-easy-as-pi1.jpg" alt="" width="96" height="147" /></a>If it’s maths you have trouble with, then you might need <em>As Easy As Pi: Stuff about numbers that isn&#8217;t (just) maths</em> by Jamie Buchan [Michael O’Mara Books £9.99 978-1843173557] It’s aimed at all number enthusiasts and includes not just useful mathematical rules but also fascinating numerical facts (such as why is the number 7 so significant?), numbers used as slang and even pop culture trivia. There’s even a section on numbers used in TV programmes, including fake telephone numbers.</p>
<p><a href="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hero-inside.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-409" title="Hero inside" src="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/hero-inside.jpg" alt="" width="137" height="137" /></a>Finally two books, each with a worthy cause in mind; <em>The Hero Inside</em> [ Quiller Publishing, £9.99 978-1846890765 ] looks at the efforts of those who have been fund raising for the charity Help for Heroes and the heroes for whom they have been working.  It’s the officially authorised fund-raising book for <a href="http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/" target="_blank">Help for Heroes</a>, the charity founded in 2007 to support servicemen and women wounded in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is superbly illustrated and the front cover photo includes Joanna Lumley – what more could you want?</p>
<p><a href="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/see-john-run.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-410" title="See John Run" src="http://billpurdue.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/see-john-run.jpg" alt="" width="130" height="130" /></a>Another worthwhile cause is the BBC’s “<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/" target="_blank">Children in Need</a>” charity and, for Terry Wogan fans, one way of contributing to that is to buy <em>See John Run</em> by Kevin Joslin [Headline £9.99 978-0755319961]. It’s a complete collection of the Janet and John Marsh stories as read by Terry during the last four years on his Radio 2 morning show. Full of double entendre and innuendo,  it has been almost unanimously acclaimed as a really good giggle.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>NEWS<br />
My cousin Harindranathan never reads newspapers.<br />
He never sees TV, nor hear radio.</p>
<p>The purpose of terrorists is to spread panic. If no one will hear about their exploits, they will lose interest in terror.<br />
When we go to live in forest cottages, provided by Tourism department, we too forget this familiar world of politics and intrigues, scams and terror, flash news, breaking news and endless advertisements, all meant to keep our blood pressure at the required level, to induce all kinds of ailments; as otherwise, Capitalism cannot survive.<br />
If I am the DITATOR OF ALL THE WORLD, total news black out will be enforced, just to enjoy a glorious sun set!</p>

<p><strong>Un residente di San Paolo, Brasile, la notte del black-out dell&#8217;11 novembre 2009 ha avvistato un misterioso velivolo rettangolare.Ecco il suo racconto pervenuto alla redazione del sito Ufocasebook.com</strong></p>
</div>
<p style="text-align:center;"><em>&#8220;Sono andato a letto molto presto, mi annoiavo. Mi sono steso a letto a controllare la posta e gli orari sul mio cellulare, alle ore 00:45 circa. Attraverso la finestra ho visto delle luci volare sopra il mio palazzo. Sono corso alla finestra pensando che poteva essere un aereo, ma il traffico aereo occorre fino alle ore 23.00.Non era un aereo o un elicottero. Per alcuni secondi, mentre era ancora in cielo, ho potuto vedere chiaramente che si trattava di un oggetto scuro, nero, di forma rettangolare, con quattro luci bianche di luminosità costante a ogni estremità e due luci rosse lampeggianti in basso che lampeggiavano in modo diverso dalle altre.Ho cercato di filmare l&#8217;oggetto con il telefono cellulare, ma non potevo catturare nulla.Non ho idea di quale altezza si trattasse, ma sembrava piuttosto basso. Non c&#8217;era alcun suono, e sembrava essere più piccolo e più veloce di un aereo commerciale. Come si è allontanava, non riuscivo più a vedere la parte solida e scura dell&#8217;oggetto, ma solo le sue luci rosse lampeggianti e le luci bianche statiche.&#8221;</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:justify;font-family:arial;font-size:15px;">Secondo l&#8217;inondazione di spot trasmessi in coda a numerosi programmi televisivi, il passaggio dal sistema analogico al digitale terrestre comporta un aumento dell&#8217;offerta televisiva e della qualità delle immagini. Purtroppo a 24 ore dallo switch-off migliaia di utenti non hanno avuto modo di constatare tale evoluzione. Aumentano di ora in ora, infatti, i reclami per l&#8217;assenza del segnale anche per i canali tradizionali Rai e Mediaset. A tal proposito il vicepresidente dell&#8217;Italia dei Diritti Roberto Soldà commenta: &#8220;Ogni famiglia laziale è stata informata e ripetutamente coinvolta nel cambiamento tecnologico. Il tutto in senso negativo. Il problema colpisce maggiormente gli anziani, &#8211; continua l&#8217;esponente del movimento presieduto da Antonello De Pierro &#8211; che utilizzano il tubo catodico come principale mezzo di evasione, e che sono stati costretti a sborsare del denaro per un televisore di nuova generazione o per un decoder, in un momento delicato di crisi economica. Non è chiaro -  conclude Soldà -  se la causa di tutto ciò sia un&#8217;inopportuna fretta nel proporre ai cittadini nuove piattaforme anche a pagamento oppure un ennesimo esempio di inefficienza organizzativa&#8221;.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ontem, o Rio, assim como 10 outros estados brasileiros, sofreu um avassalador apagão. Nesse exato momento de breu repentino,<a href="http://blogmultiplicidade.wordpress.com/2009/10/27/blind-date/" target="_blank"> Naná Vasconcelos, DJ Dolores, Raul Mourão e Leo Domingues</a>, acompanhados por uma sensacional banda ocupavam de uma maneira ou de outra o palco do Oi Casagrande.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-119" title="Blind Date Multiplicidade 1" src="http://blogmultiplicidade.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_7936-copia.jpg" alt="DSC_7936 cópia" width="450" height="317" /></p>
<p>Mas desprovidos de tecnologia, sobrou o talento, que havia de sobra em todos os presentes no palco e também na platéia. Munido ora de prato, ora de berimbau, Naná foi trazendo o público de suas cadeiras para a frente do palco, iluminado apenas pelas luzes de segurança e lanternas da produção. Alguns abriram os guarda-chuvas, e todos cantavam e dançavam regidos pelo maestro Vasconcelos, que foi aos poucos sendo acompanhado por toda a banda.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-121" title="Blind Date Multiplicidade 2" src="http://blogmultiplicidade.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_7794-copia.jpg" alt="DSC_7794 cópia" width="450" height="292" /></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Num pacífico e animado cortejo, a percussão, os metais, os convidados, todos foram caminhando até a rua, onde uma roda musical se formou, despertando a atenção dos moradores dos prédios vizinhos.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-122" title="Blind Date Multiplicidade 3" src="http://blogmultiplicidade.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dsc_8005-copia.jpg" alt="Blind Date Multiplicidade 3" width="450" height="301" /></p>
<p>O clima era de total alegria e integração. Imagem e som inusitados como nunca antes visto, no mais real Blind Date possível. E nós queremos manter essa conectividade, portanto fizemos um vídeo de convocação. Se você tem fotos, vídeos e/ou opiniões sobre o histórico Blind Date de ontem, mande para info@multiplicidade.com ou através do nosso <a href="https://twitter.com/multiplicidade_" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style="color:#555044;">Ad un certo punto la radio e la luce del salotto hanno cominciato a funzionare a tratti. Buio, luce, buio, luce fioca&#8230;musica, interferenze, musica deformata, rumore a tratti, silenzio. Penso ad un black out come a un mega <em>&#8220;PUFF&#8221;</em> seguito dal nulla, non a un lento decrescere di energia. Di fronte alla bizzarra fenomenologia del black out brasiliano ho pensato, nell&#8217;ordine: ad una apparizione satanica, al terremoto, al 2012 Maya anticipato ed, infine, al black out.<br />
Ero sola a casa ma dopo aver appurato che le opzioni 1, 2 e 3 non erano probabili, mi sono rilassata ed ho assistito allo spettacolo di una cittá come San Paolo divorata dalle tenebre. Certo, ci sono i soliti privilegiati con il generatore privato, ma il profilo di questa megalapoli sempre viva, d&#8217;un tratto, s&#8217;é modificato. Debole e spenta, pareva piú umana, piú vicina e, complice la luce delle candele,  anche piú romantica&#8230;</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>Curitiba &#8211; 19:32</strong></p>
<p>O ministro de Minas e Energia, Edison Lobão, permanece culpando os fenômenos climáticos, os mesmos já afirmados centenas de vezes aqui no blog. Então mentira ou verdade é essa a declaração vinda do governo.</p>
<p>Um adendo é:</p>
<p>Todos chegaram à conclusão que foram descargas atmosféricas, ventos e chuvas muito fortes na região de Itaberá (SP). Houve uma concentração desses fenômenos atmosféricos ali. O que provocou um curto circuito nos 3 circuitos que levam a Itaberá, que vêm de Itaipu&#8221;, disse Lobão</p>
<p>Via Uol: <a href="http://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2009/11/11/ult5772u6082.jhtm">Concentração de fenônemos climáticos causou curto-circuito e gerou apagão, diz ministro</a></p>
<p>Consequências: Sudeste sofre apagão de água (what? hehehe), é 8,5 milhões de pessoas sem água devido a danos causados pelo apagão, durante esse tempo que SP ficou sem luz, as companhias de tratamento de água tiveram problemas técnicos e terão que fazer reparos nos equipamentos.</p>
<p>Leia Mais: <a href="http://noticias.uol.com.br/cotidiano/2009/11/11/ult5772u6049.jhtm">Apagão danifica estações de água do Sudeste; mais de 8,5 milhões sofrem cortes</a></p>
<p><strong>Curitiba &#8211; 15:30</strong></p>
<p>Presidente Lula deu uma entrevista agora a tarde, nela ele comenta que ainda não sabe as causas do problema de ontem a noite, e também que não apontará culpados, pois nesse momento seria apenas um chute. Mesmo sem saber as causas, afirma que não foi problema de falta de geração de Energia.</p>
<p>Via www.uol.com.br.</p>
<p><strong>Curitiba &#8211; 14:37</strong></p>
<p>Nenhuma notícia relevante sobre os acontecimentos, as causas ainda são desconhecidas.</p>
<p><strong>Curitiba &#8211; 13:17</strong></p>
<p>Causas que apurei lendo 3 referências: Globo, Terra, Uol.</p>
<p>A lista de estados  atingidos segundo o Terra: Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Acre, Rondônia, Bahia, Sergipe, Paraíba, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte</p>
<p>Estados que ficaram completamente sem Luz, ainda pelo Terra: Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Espírito Santo.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration:line-through;">Não existem certezas, o Terra faz referência a declarações de Itaipu, que diz não saber as causas ainda.</span> Terra agora está com a mesma versão da Globo e Uol.</p>
<p>Globo e Uol, colocaram em sua notícia a declaração do secretário-executivo do Ministério de Minas e Energia, Márcio Zimmermann, que afirma ter sido problemas atmosféricos o causador de tudo isso, ocasionando a queda de 3 linhas de transmissão.</p>
<p>Foi afirmado também que foram afetados 18 estados.</p>
<p>Visite as notícias:</p>
<p><a href="http://g1.globo.com/Noticias/Brasil/0,,MUL1374813-5598,00-MINISTERIO+DE+MINAS+E+ENERGIA+DIZ+QUE+APAGAO+ATINGIU+ESTADOS+BRASILEIROS.html">Globo &#8211; Ministério de Minas e Energia diz que apagão atingiu 18 estados brasileiros.</a></p>

<p>Leitores do blog, receio que uma informação de veras relevante, só amanhã mesmo, pois nem hoje a tarde acho que seja possível passar algo seguro para população.</p>
<p>Todos aguardam do governo ou da própria Itaipu alguma declaração sobre as causas, mas com certeza, independente de quais sejam, ninguém vai segurar a bomba sozinho, então vão discutir muito bem antes de qualquer declaração.</p>
<div id="_mcePaste" style="overflow:hidden;position:absolute;left:-10000px;top:0;width:1px;height:1px;">Completa exibindo a lista de estados atingidos: Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo, Mato Grosso, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Acre, Rondônia, Bahia, Sergipe, Paraíba, Alagoas, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte. Segundo o ministério, quatro desses Estados tiveram queda total de energia: Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Espírito Santo.</div>

<p>Segundo a Folha Online, o &#8220;Hoje em Dia&#8221;, da Record, exibiu na manhã de hoje [11.11.2009] um bate-boca ao vivo entre repórteres da Globo e da Record que disputavam uma entrevista com o secretário-executivo do Ministério de Minas e Energia, Márcio Zimmerman, sobre o apagão de ontem:</p>
<blockquote><p>A repórter da Record Venina Nunes foi anunciada pelos apresentadores do programa e apareceu ao vivo perto do secretário, que aguardava para ser entrevistado por Camila Bomfim, da Globo News.</p>
<p>Venina tentou então chamar o secretário para começar uma entrevista, mas foi interrompida pela jornalista da Globo, que informou que ela deveria esperar.</p>
<p>&#8220;Muitas pessoas estão querendo ter a informação. Tá tudo certo, não se preocupe, a gente está acompanhando tudo por aqui&#8221;, disse Celso Zucatelli, um dos apresentadores do &#8220;Hoje em Dia&#8221; que, em seguida, criticou o trabalho dos assessores de imprensa.</p>
<p>&#8220;Se não está ao vivo, se estão segurando o secretário propositalmente&#8230; eu venho aqui pedir que a assessoria do secretário colabore. Olha só, o secretário está esperando, nós estamos esperando porque a assessoria resolveu que ele vai esperar&#8221;, disse o apresentador.</p>
<p>A repórter da Record chegou a sair por alguns minutos do local onde a entrevista aconteceria e depois voltou, tentando novamente falar com o secretário.</p>
<p>&#8220;Você invadiu o espaço da Globo, invadiu o link&#8221;, disse um assessor de imprensa, impedindo novamente que a repórter da Record se aproximasse.</p>
<p>Enquanto a jornalista se explicava novamente aos telespectadores, a Globo News exibia a entrevista de Camila com Márcio Zimmerman.</p>
<p>Chamada ao vivo novamente pela equipe do &#8220;Hoje em Dia&#8221;, Venina Nunes teve que esperar novamente, pois o secretário estava gravando uma nova entrevista para a Globo.</p></blockquote>

<description><![CDATA[Para quem quis acompanhar as notícias do apagão de 10.11.2009 mesmo na escuridão, as rádios foram bo]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Para quem quis acompanhar as notícias do apagão de 10.11.2009 mesmo na escuridão, as rádios foram boas opções. CBN, Band News e Tupi FM, entre outras, transmitiram em tempo real não somente as informações que chegavam de suas reportagens, como conseguiram entrevistas com pessoas direta ou indiretamente influenciadas pela contingência (todos !), políticos e comentaristas (como Lúcia Hipólito, que deixou claro que estava à luz de velas antes da ligação &#8212; para a rádio com a qual conversava &#8212; cair). O mais interessante foi a interação com os ouvintes em geral, espalhados (na escuridão) por todo o Brasil, mas mandando mensagens via SMS e Twitter. </p>
<p>O Twitter, por sinal, &#8220;bombou&#8221;, para utilizar a expressão dos próprios locutores: twitteiros de muitas localidades enviavam informações sobre a apagão em suas cidades e bairros e mantinham o bom humor. Inevitável a piada sobre a estada de Madonna no Rio, que não teria sido afetada pelo apagão porque &#8220;estava com Jesus LUZ&#8221;&#8230; Até quem estava nos cinemas no momento do desligamento também mandava mensagens do tipo &#8220;acabou a luz no meio de This Is It, na hora da cena de Thriller&#8230; a culpa é de&#8230; Michael Jackson !&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Mas foram as notícias &#8217;sérias&#8217; que dominaram os boletins. Declarações &#8212; ao vivo ou por meio de porta-voz &#8212; de operadores do sistema elétrico, do governador do Rio (que estava em Brasília) e do prefeito de São Paulo, além do próprio Edson Lobão, ministro das Minas e Energia, foram veiculadas em tempo real pelas rádios enquanto a luz não era reestabelecida.</p>
<p>Na volta da energia, o Jornal da Globo trouxe William Waack e Christiane Pelajo quase que exclusivamente dedicado às notícias sobre o apagão. Sandra Passarinho estava ao vivo no Rio e outros reporteres atuavam mesmo com dificuldades em outros estados. Boris Casoy &#8212; que entrara também na Band News FM &#8212; estava ao vivo na Band, e o SBT teve Carlos Nascimento e Cintia Benini estavam na bancada. Em meio à enxurrada de informações (ou tentativa de), um desencontro aqui e ali no corte de imagens e no timing dos apresentadores, mas em geral o grande problema foi a ansiedade de obter informações sobre as causas do problema, onde hipóteses muitas vezes absurdas eram colocadas como perguntas aos entrevistados ao vivo. </p>
<p>Teve de tudo. Houve quem comparasse o apagão atual com o de 2001. Boris Casoy perguntou em entrevista se poderia ter sido ação de hackers. Na correria e nervosismo do &#8220;ao vivo&#8221;, a experiente Sandra Passarinho deu &#8220;boa noite&#8221; várias vezes a Christiane Pelajo quando entrava ao vivo nas ruas do Rio e chegou a citar que a cidade do Rio teria 16 milhões de habitantes. Muitos queriam previsões certeiras de quando a energia voltaria totalmente. O Programa do Jô, que era gravado, teve Ronaldo Fenômeno num proibitivo horário da madrugada, poucos devem ter assistido. </p>

<p>Essa semana o escolhido foi <strong>Black-out</strong>. Quem anda causando com um tom bem parecido é a Alinne Moraes com a sua personagem Luciana, em Viver a Vida. Outro tom que é parecido e que é legal apostar, é o  <a title="Tóquio" href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/2597302723_2d655cd94f.jpg" target="_blank">Tóquio</a>, da mesma marca.</p>

<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Sempre tive um preconceito com esmaltes de marcas menores ou  desconhecidas. Mas depois que eu usei o <a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2660/3935245329_5f5e842917.jpg" target="_blank">Angra dos Reis</a>, da Maxi Beauty, descobri que é só colocar um bom extra brilho por cima que resolve tudo. Com isso, a <a href="http://twitter.com/JessicaMattos" target="_blank">Jéssica Mattos</a> me indicou o <a href="http://vanessapatricio.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/img_8597.jpg" target="_blank">Pink</a>, da Big Universo que é exatamante a tonalidade que eu estava procurando e não encontrava. Inclusive, a Preta Gil estava com um parecido, bem fluo, só um pouco mais alaranjado (veja <a href="http://esmaltesdaana.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/foto-preta.jpg" target="_blank">aqui</a>!). E já que o preconceito acabou, quero experimentar o <a href="http://www.biguniverso.com.br/mattplus.html" target="_blank">Matt Plus</a>, também da Big Universo, que dá efeito opaco no esmalte. Interessante!</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;">Ainda desculpem a falta de posts, mas sabem como é faculdade, né?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:left;">Devrons-nous faire face à des coupures d’électricité cet hiver ?</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A l’heure où le froid fait son retour en France et où tout le monde a rallumé son chauffage, <a href="http://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2009/10/30/la-france-va-devoir-importer-de-l-electricite-cet-hiver_1260894_3234.html"><em>Le Monde</em> a soulevé cette question</a> avec l’analyse d’un <a href="http://www.rte-france.com/htm/fr/mediatheque/telecharge/analyse_H_2009.pdf">rapport de RTE</a> (Réseau de Transport d’Electricité). Alors qu’EDF va pouvoir prendre pied de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique avec le rachat de Constellation, notre production nationale d’électricité ne couvre pas tous nos besoins.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le 19 octobre, notre pays a dû importer 7 770 mégawatts (MW) pour faire face à une vague de froid. RTE estime que la France devra importer jusqu’à 4 000 MW d&#8217;électricité &#8220;durant plusieurs semaines de novembre 2009 à janvier 2010&#8243; si les températures tombent en dessous des normales saisonnières.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">A titre de comparaison, 7 770 MW c’est l’équivalent de 5 réacteurs nucléaires de dernière génération comme l’EPR en construction à Flamanville et plus de 3 000 éoliennes géantes.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Des centrales nucléaires : trop peu, trop vieilles !</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L’énergie nucléaire est notre fierté nationale, c’est l’énergie que l’on essaie de vendre aux Américains, aux Chinois, aux Indiens et nous ne sommes pas capables de produire assez d’électricité pour couvrir nos propres besoins !</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">Nos centrales sont vieillissantes, la plupart ont été construites dans les années 1980 pour une durée de vie de 30 ans. Selon ces calculs, 6 réacteurs nucléaires à Fessenheim en Alsace et Bugey dans l’Ain auraient dû être arrêtés, représentant plus de 4 000 MW de puissance. Comme ces centrales n’étaient pas trop usées, EDF avait prolongé leur durée de vie pour les remplacer à l’horizon 2020. Ce prolongement a pour contrepartie des nombreuses opérations de maintenance qui forcent EDF à arrêter certains réacteurs. Cet hiver, dix-huit réacteurs sur 58 (un tiers) seront à l’arrêt au lieu de 5. Nos centrales seront donc insuffisantes pour faire face aux pics de demande.</p>
<div id="attachment_340" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-340" title="Investissements EDF" src="http://voxthunae.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/investissements-edf.png?w=300" alt="Investissements EDF" width="300" height="188" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Evolution des investissements d&#39;EDF en millions d&#39;euros</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Les nouvelles centrales ne pourront prendre le relais qu’à partir de 2012 avec la mise en service de l’EPR de Flamanville (en sachant que 9 mois de retard sont déjà prévus). En effet, le débat sur l’avenir du nucléaire a repoussé la construction de nouvelles centrales alors que nos dernières centrales ont déjà près de 20 ans (Les travaux à Civaux ont commencé en 1988-1991 pour une mise en service en 1999).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cette année, RTE prend la menace très au sérieux et pourrait recourir à des « moyens exceptionnels », c’est-à-dire des coupures d’électricité dans certaines régions  afin d’éviter une coupure généralisée du réseau. Nous nous moquions des Etats-Unis lors du grand « black-out » de 2003. Pourtant nous risquerions de voir Paris, la ville lumière, plongée dans le noir.<strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>La faille du modèle de l’énergie nucléaire</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Ne pas pouvoir répondre aux pics de la demande, tel est le défaut de l’énergie nucléaire. Notre modèle fondé sur une électricité à 80% nucléaire, nous permet de produire beaucoup à faible coût, si l’on omet le sacrifice de la flexibilité : un réacteur nucléaire a besoin de quelques jours pour atteindre sa pleine puissance. En cas de chute brutale des températures, seules d’autres sources d’énergies peuvent répondre aux pics de demande. Auparavant ce surplus était fourni par des centrales thermiques alimentées par du gaz naturel et du charbon. Aujourd’hui, cette énergie d’appoint vient des énergies renouvelables, mais encore faut-il qu’il y ait du vent et du soleil suffisants. A défaut, nous sommes donc obligés d’importer de l’électricité à nos voisins européens.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Comparons avec l’Allemagne</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La France est en principe exportatrice d’électricité et permet à ses voisins, et en particulier l’Italie, de combler leur déficit. Si notre pays se met à importer de l’électricité qui va lui en fournir ? C’est tout d’abord l’Allemagne qui est exportatrice, grâce à un modèle qui laisse la part belle aux énergies fossiles (charbon à 45% et gaz naturel à 15%). Plus flexible, elle s’adapte mieux aux aléas climatiques de la demande. Mais cela ne devrait pas durer : l’agence allemande de l’énergie a publié un rapport en 2008 qui prévoit que l’Allemagne ne sera plus capable de couvrir les pics de demande en 2012. La faute au gouvernement rose-vert de Schröder qui en 2001 a suspendu la construction de nouvelles centrales nucléaires pour investir massivement dans les énergies renouvelables.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Une solution insuffisante contraignant à rouvrir et construire des centrales thermiques au gaz et au charbon. Alors quelle solution pollue le plus ? Renoncer au nucléaire implique de recourir aux énergies fossiles. Le nouveau gouvernement allemand devrait faire le choix de rallonger la durée de vie des centrales nucléaires limitée à 32 ans par le gouvernement précédent afin de donner un début de réponse.</p>
<div id="attachment_342" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-342" title="Fermetures réacteurs allemands" src="http://voxthunae.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/fermetures-reacteurs-allemands.png?w=300" alt="Fermetures réacteurs allemands" width="300" height="180" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Fermeture des centrales nucléaires allemandes en MW - selon le moratoire actuel (32 ans) ou 40 ans de vie</p></div>
<p style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Lobbying d’EDF pour construire plus de centrales ?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Le <a href="http://www.rte-france.com/htm/fr/mediatheque/telecharge/analyse_H_2009.pdf">rapport de RTE</a>, filiale d’EDF, n’est pas anodin à un moment où EDF est endettée et cherche des fonds pour construire de nouvelles centrales nucléaires en France. EDF prend à témoin le gouvernement du manque de capacités et de la nécessité de l’aider à investir dans de nouvelles centrales. Le nucléaire présente la seule alternative viable pour faire face à une telle demande (il faudrait de 1500 à 4000 éoliennes supplémentaires pour satisfaire ces pics de demande).</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Conclusion :</strong> nous n’avons pas anticipé le renouvellement de nos centrales nucléaires à cause du débat sur la fin du nucléaire. Conséquence : nous allons devoir faire marcher nos centrales thermiques au gaz et importer de l’énergie d’Allemagne qui la produit avec du charbon.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Have you ever had to do you HW by candle light?  Well I have and it is not that pleasant.</p>
<p><a href="http://solacetemple.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/candles.jpg"><img class="alignnone" src="http://solacetemple.files.wordpress.com/2007/08/candles.jpg?w=337&#038;h=459" alt="" width="337" height="459" /></a><!--more-->So as most students at stony brook know their was a <strong>black out</strong> in <strong>roosevelt qaud</strong> ealier this week.  Their was also <strong>no hott water</strong> in kelly at the same time.  These two issues go hand and hand.  <strong>John Sparano, the director of residential operations</strong>, had this to say, &#8220;the interruption of the electrical service resulted from the failure of several electrical feeders located in the proximity of a high temperature hot water leak near Roosevelt quad.  Residents lost heat, hot water, and power in Roosevelt Quad and heat and hot water in Kelly.&#8221;</p>
<p>When I found out about this I got in touch with John Sparano because many students feel we <strong>should be reimbursed</strong> for having <strong>unlivable housing</strong> for two days.  Sparano responded by saying <strong>unlivable was a harsh word</strong> to use.  Personally I am sick of this.  Their is always something happening in my building.  With this blackout people were trapped in elevators for two hours.  No one was able to take a<strong> shower</strong> in their own building.  How is that livable.  I think we should be <strong>reimbursed</strong> for 2 days of housing.</p>
<p>As some of you may be asking now.  What does this have to do with doing <strong>HW by candle light</strong>.  If you couldn&#8217;t tell I had <strong>no power</strong> in my room the night of and I had to finish a <strong>presentation</strong> for the next day.  So at 2 am I sat at my desk with <strong>2 candles</strong> and did all my reading to prepare for it.  Not the best way to do my work but I had to finish it.</p>
<p>If not being able to shower or do my HW in a reasonable enviorment is unlivable than I don&#8217;t know what is.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>There is <a href="http://www.onlyinisrael.net/" target="_blank">a very cute website</a> which publishes amazing stories that happen in Israel. It&#8217;s called, &#8220;Only in Israel&#8221; and that is a perfect name because people love to say that. When you tell a crazy story because of how unbelievably kind someone was or, sometimes, not so great, often someone will say, &#8220;Only in Israel.&#8221;</p>
<p>Of course this is often subjective because as you get to know other worlds you find out that things which you thought were Israeli, weren&#8217;t necessarily.</p>
<p>But, sometimes it really does seem like an amazing story. This is one of them. This family&#8217;s street block was not going to have electricity the day of their daughter&#8217;s wedding. It&#8217;s deeply touching to see what the electric company did in order to help them. If you&#8217;re anything like me, get ready to shed a few tears.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Ameren UE, the energy providing behemoth in my current area of residence (St. Louis, Missouri.) shut]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Ameren UE, the energy providing behemoth in my current area of residence (St. Louis, Missouri.) shut my power off at 10 in the morning today. They had good reason, the management company that had been charging my account to pay the power bill decided they were no longer going to pay my bills for free. This is a somewhat reasonable idea, but would generally warrant notification, yes?</p>
<p>Instead, they simply stopped paying, and since the bills had never been sent from my address, I never received a notice of a delinquent account.</p>
<p>This is not the end of the world, hell I managed to find my way to a working power source and a computer, yes? The difficulty was accomplishing the task of paying a bill. I had the money. I had the means. What I didn&#8217;t have was reasonable intelligence from anyone between me and my electricity. My apartment was dark, cold, and apparently hopeless.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-55" title="BLACK SCREEN" src="http://collinreischman.wordpress.com/files/2009/10/blackscreenofawesome.jpg" alt="Artist's Rendering " />Artist&#8217;s Rendering</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:left;">With a bent debit card of my roommate in one hand (with his consent, obviously) and a phone in the other, I attempted to correct the lack of modern technology in my domicile.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">It took 1 hour and 9 minutes, spanning 6 phone calls, two recordings, two customer service agents, (Editors Note To Cliff: You were helpful and patient, thank you. To Sherry: You were useless and rude, and I hope you step in a large puddle that you first thought was shallow, and have your entire leg, up to the knee, in muddy water.) and a wave a frantic hatred that washed over me.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">The problem was rarely with any single person. It was the fault of nobody I spoke to today that my power was stopped. It was based largely on big-business idiocy. After simply paying my bill for months by removing the funds from the account directly, they simply stopped, boredom apparently stole their attention away, and they chose not to tell me.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I spent some time thinking, how best to sum the events of the day? How best to describe in brevity how and why this all happened today. I came up with something highly appropriate, and totally unoriginal.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
<p style="text-align:left;">The lights were on, but nobody was home.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;">
