Writers Guild Ends Strick: Which TV Shows Will Air and Which Will Not
The Writers Guild of America strike ended and Hollywood will go now back to producing all those wonderful TV shows. It seems that the writers did win the battle after 3 months which cost the movie industry approximately 2 billion dollars. Σήμερα έληξε και επίσημα η απεργία των σεναριογράφων του Hollywood. The consequences of the strike though will be pretty soon made apparent as there is not much time for this season.
Lets see what will happen with the most popular of the TV shows according to the information that goes around (this is quite likely to change)
24
The 7th season is postponed till January 2009
Battlestar Galactica
On the 4th of April the shooting of the 10 episodes of the last season will air. The last 10 will be shot some time in March and its is not sure when they will air
Earthquake Prediction Techniques for Greece and the World
Greece has been shaking up recently by earthquake after earthquake. Yesterday the 4th earthquake within 1.5 months (see previous 1, 2, 3), of a 6.5 magnitude had an epicenter south of the city of Kalamata.
This seismic activity has been scientifically predicted by the V.A.N team of Professor P. A. Varotsos of the University of Athens, Greece. Unfortunately the Greek governments (past and present) tend to dismiss scientific evidence. Maybe this is because government officials are using other, more accurate and alternative techniques. So I made a search to find such alternative techniques that may not be explained by science.
Sun, oh glorious sun!
This first case managed to predict the latest Greek earthquake 6 days earlier! They used a method unheard before that predicted the 6.5 magnitude earthquake. This method does not require expensive equipment, only a roof, a digital watch and as much sunshine as possible. What is being observed? Any slight change in earths orbit during its rotation is caused by lava and tectonic plate movement. Based on this theory many amateur earthquake observers try to calculate these orbit changes by looking at the position of the sun and hence try to locate the earthquakes epicenter.
Snakes

Chinese researchers of the Nanning seismologic center discovered that the snake behavior up to five days before an earthquake tends to be a bit bizarre. Specifically there are cases where snakes started to hit on walls in an attempt to escape earthquakes that might have been up to 120 km away. It is well known that animals do have an acute sense of things and especially vibrations. It was found that snakes even during the winter (snakes sleep during winter) they wake up and leave the nest when they felt an incoming earthquake. Hence a 24 hour camera surveillance system was set up to monitor the snake reactions hoping to become an accurate earthquake prediction technique.
Charlotte King - Biological predictions (!)
On the 18th of May 1980 a woman notified experts that something was not right. Within 12 minutes the volcano of St. Helena in Washington state, US, erupted. What happened next?
As with all things American she ended up in numerous shows and also became the study of many expert doctors and the US military. All of them were amazed to find that Charlotte since 1976 had started to be able to listen to ULF, VLF and ELF frequencies. In total 4 US states studies this phenomenon called Charlotte. This was not the first time that Charlotte predicted an earthquake but since then her name got major publicity. So now she continues her work and according to her between the dozens of earthquakes that she predicted we can find even the one that devastated Athens in 1999. She even has a blog in which she presents her worries about global earthquake prediction.
