show Where do the names of military operations? Jennifer Lopez will also perform
The system used to respond to random names.
Desert Storm (Kuwait, 1991), "Restore Hope" (Somalia, 1993), "Iraqi Freedom" (2003) and now "Odyssey of Dawn" in Libya.
How significant are these Hollywood names the Pentagon will put its military operations?
The answer is: none.
These titles are the result of a random system for the Department of Defense U.S. to give names to their operations and in the Libyan case is meaningless.
Therefore, any operation that relates the famous Homer's epic novel about the journey of Odysseus, which may well have taken place on the coast of Libya, will be wrong.
"Given the name, people often wonder what to do with Libya. They try to apply the model of Operation 'Iraqi Freedom' and try to find meaning in the title when in this case there is none" said this week a member of the African Command of U.S. Armed Forces.
Washington uses a computer system created in 1975, after some names randomly selected by the commanders-as "Operation Killer" (murderer) during the Korean War and Operation Masher "(pisapuré) of Vietnam- triggered a wave of criticism.
To title their missions, the Pentagon has assigned a group of letters with a series of predetermined words. The system gives each military command a couple of letters that will be used to label the offensive.
For example, African Command, U.S. Army, by of the current operation in Libya, has assigned three sets of double letters JS-JZ, NS to NZ and OP-OA with a series of words provided, said military spokesman Eric Elliott in a recent interview with the The Washington Post newspaper.
African Winds
To make the final decision, commanders previously approved a list of about 60 code names. On this occasion, once agreed to call the operation Libyan Odyssey, the official leaders held a brainstorming for a random word that goes well with him, "said Elliot.
"The goal is to create a name that has absolutely nothing to do with activity in the region, so that one can walk down a street in Washington during the planning stages and make sure no one will know that this is Libya, "the soldier told the newspaper.
" The goal is to create a name that has absolutely nothing to do with activity in the region, so that one can walk down a street in Washington during the planning stages and make sure no one will know that Libya is "
Eric Elliott, a spokesman for U.S. Army
U.S. has strict guidelines. The names should not "express a degree of hostility" to be "offensive to good taste or derogatory to a particular group, sect or belief. "
Trademarks, and the terms" exotic "or" trivial "are also prohibited.
But not all names of military operations Americans are neutral. Some contain a message, such as Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Canadian military have their own system to baptize the missions should be related to the region where the action takes place.
For example, operation "Odyssey of Dawn" they call it MOBILE. "In this case, since the region is the Mediterranean, the name was chosen because it begins with M," said Lt. Jennifer Jackson of the Canadian Defense Department.
"Furthermore, since Canada is a bilingual country, the word chosen should obey the two official languages. MOBILE spelled the same in English and French."
The use of capital letters is a habit and it means nothing, he adds.
The French, meanwhile, the operation in Libya titled "Harmattan", as it call a dry, dusty wind from West Africa.
Forces of Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Spain and Qatar are also involved in military action, but they do not have a name for the mission.

Since they began studies of the effects of television on the audience, way back in the 1950's, there is satisfactory evidence able to determine that the content of television is the direct cause of a particular behavior, rather, say experts, reinforcing the values \u200b\u200band habits acquired in school, home, community, church, etc..
In other words, television is not guilty of the increase in sedentary lifestyle and overweight children at home if there is a healthy food culture, or discourages physical activity. The same applies to violence, negative behavior caught early can be corrected, but if parents do not keep track of the daily life of children, nor do they know they are exposed is difficult to achieve satisfactory results.
As in any other activity, parents have the responsibility to know what makes their children, in the case of television, what programs they watch, set the tone about what is allowed or not and to determine strictly the time their young are front of the receiver.
There is much violence in the programming of TV channels, but there are a wide range of quality aimed solely at children.
clear rules for children's television
Play House Disney Channel, a TV channel exclusively for children, offers parents a guide for users to become aware of the television and get the most out of time small dedicated to this entertainment. Set
hours: to be 8, 10 or 12 hours exposed to an activity that does not require much mental effort and almost no physical exertion in addition to being very productive, encourages laziness, disinterest in physical activity and socialization difficulties. Choose
programs: With the proliferation of cable is much variety: thematic channels or blocks addressed only to children. Try to choose educational programs that suit the family values, which contain positive messages encourage respect, fellowship with other children and help solve problems of their age.
Teach them to decide: It's good to learn from small to everything that goes on TV is good or valid, teach them not to accept everything put in front, when you explain the reasons for recommending or not a program, themselves to discard those that do not agree with the rules. Avoid commercial
: The young do not have tools to judge the advertising, a good channel for children has the fewest possible ad.
TV quality adult: If Mommy and Daddy watching quality programs sent the little ones a very clear message, trash television adds nothing to the family.
Each age has its programming: The interests of children vary with age, the ideal program for a child under 4 years can be boring for one of seven or too complex for a toddler of 2 years. Check the websites of the TV channels, the producer of the program or movie series which is the audience they address.
Talk to your children about television, says the good, the bad, learning in a particular program, talking about the situations, characters and that lesson behind each story.

In the last stage of his life beginning in the 90 Taylor made some minor films and began to be better known for his humanitarian work. He became an ambassador for the fight against AIDS, as a result of the loss of his friend Rock Hudson, one of the first large icons to die of this disease.
was also known for its unconditional support for Michael Jackson, against whom he always remained publicly even in the worst moments of sexual scandal of child abuse experienced by the famous singer.
officially retired in 2003. A year later, his health worsened and began to develop the disease and complications of the heart that left him an invalid, unable to walk and prostrate in a wheelchair.
always knew, however, in terms of fame and wealth, probably without a rival in his time and his story.
Despite disease and its collection of marriages and scandals Taylor was known inside.
"I've lived long enough to fill four lives." And surely attest obituaries of many pages on his artistic life, its inexhaustible beauty and fascinating private life.
For Cristobal Cervantes 22/03/1911 and published in the spiritual and political blog
Last March 16 publish on the blog Spirituality and Politics the Urgent letter from Japan sent us ; our friend Megumi Miyata . The letter stated, inter alia, that had information that the Fukushima nuclear reactor had begun to melt, there was nothing that could be done to prevent the explosion, but delayed.
On March 17 , program presenters 1 A3 News TV, interviewed Professor of Physics at the University Alcala de Henares Antonio Ruiz de Elvira , the answer was clear, strong and serene, "cooling plan will not work" . Our friend Jesus Manzano has rescued video of that interview and has posted on its blog great No time to lose .
reproduce below a brief but powerful interview, listen carefully advise:
If you can not watch the video click the link to the blog
1. Do you learned something from the Chernobyl disaster which has been used to deal with this incident? Will there Fukushima exclusion zone in the coming centuries?
No, not learned anything, and the proof is this accident. I estimate that if there will be exclusion zone.
2. How many years are hazardous to health or the environment from nuclear waste? Are you ready to face nuclear cemeteries natural phenomena?
already decenasde From thousands of years. The cemetery is supposed to be ready, but tragedies like that of Japan indicates that there is always risk.
3. Some day there will be nuclear fusion power plants? Would it be safer or also entail risks such as fission?
From physics we know today there will never be central fusion. If any would be safe.
4. Last Thursday I saw on the news of Antena 3, and you were very pessimistic about that could prevent a nuclear catastrophe, the saying was assumed that no point of throwing water reactors are you still thinking the same or left information carried by the media apocalyptic and certain leaders?
From the information I receive, and according to other scientists, I see thousands of tons of Aguilar did not cool the reactor 3. If they do not cool it is that this cast, and if blown sooner or later it will cause the phenomenon of Chernobyl, leaving a holiday for life a region about 100 km around the plant. If we are hiding information and the reactor can be cooled, then my prediction would be erroneous. But from what I gather, honestly, there is no solution for this reactor.
5. Why now, after the accident in Fukushima, the European nuclear power plants are suddenly unsafe? I know, until disaster in Japan no one talked about the lack of safe operations.
economic interests are very strong: A nuclear power plant produces a lot of energy that is sold at 0.15 euros per kwh, and the plants are already paid, bringing that energy is pure profit. No company is going to throw stones at the roof. Risks always exist, and should not be telling the population that things are 100% secure
6. Being manifestly anti-nuclear, what steps you take to save energy in general and electricity in particular? Do not you think that the fact of an accident as unique as this one (very old center, earthquake tsunami etc) may not condition such momentous decisions as the end of nuclear energy?
I have spent my money on a car of bioethanol, and another hybrid. Save all the energy that I can isolate the house, and not waste energy dissipating. Nuclear energy is NOT necessary, and therefore the decision is momentous. In Spain duia demand the most in demand, 38 GW, and we have installed 80 GW. ? For that we want nuclear power only accounts for 14% of our power? It is said that as security to demand peaks but for this we have the hydraulic reservoirs which can be kept always filled with solar energy (wind, solar photovoltaic and thermal).
7. Could you explain in a didactic that is radiation?
When this fission reactor uranium atoms emit neutrons. A neutron that passes through the body may encounter a DNA molecule and change its functioning: What we call cancer. The neutron radiation exposure are emerging from the radioactive nuclei.
8. Why plutonium is more dangerous than uranium?
autorecicla Plutonium, and neutrons are much much more energy than leaving the uranium fission. Strokes are much stronger and therefore much more dangerous. The neutrons pass through our tissues and may collide and actually collide with our internal cells.
9. If you are releasing millions of gallons of water into the reactors. What about the water now, it is pouring into the environment?
The water becomes steam which carries radioactivity.
10. Whereas we need to reduce CO2 emissions to minimize rising global temperatures and that this happens for the introduction of electric cars, beyond the necessary conservation measures and energy efficiency, do not you think nuclear energy is a necessary evil until we have much more efficient renewable?
I believe we can accelerate a lot and the installation of solar energy. Unfortunately we need to keep nuclear reactors to be replacing them with solar power, but we need more of them, and can be sealed with each new solar power plant.
11. In your opinion, what is the best option to treat damaged reactors? What do you think of how Japan is treating the problem with damaged reactors?
If the reactor core 3 and is blown there is no solution but to run away. If you have not been cast there is minimal likelihood that fusion can stop throwing water for months, but the water evaporates radioactive steam. I do not see much solution, honestly.
12. Could be the beginning of the end of the world?
NO
13. Antonio, good morning. Get wet, please. Do let's move on "hard time" in Spain for continued reliance on oil and nuclear, etc., In the coming years? Do we have a real chance to switch to renewables in the medium term, creating jobs and being more healthy and efficient, or is it a utopia?
Me mojo: In Spain we have, and throughout the world, more and more expensive energy. But that is not bad: a demand for new technology, new solutions and that generate trabajod and quality and much of it. We ALL posibildades switching to solar energy in the medium term and create a very very elevadod number and quality jobs.
14. Until last week living in Tokyo. Now I'm in Spain I do not know whether temporarily or permanently. As I can understand the magnitude of the facts? As one can prove that it is a habitable place? To what extent are harmful food and contaminated water? Radioactivity can disappear in a few years? Which means what we read in the news Rieste not an "imminent" pa ra health even though they exceed the allowable limits?
watching The magnitude anger over the coming weeks. An area of \u200b\u200b20 km radius and is damaged and what it produces, if it produces something, there will be buried. No food or water should be taken of that area NIO breathe its air. What we read is simply lies piadossas of those who will not be responsible for the accident.
15. Is Japan doing the right thing? Is there anything else we could do for them?
The Japanese government is concealing information. We can not do anything for them.
16. Do not you think that is a bit exaggerated his view that was not learned anything from Chernobyl when necessary the biggest earthquake in the history of Japan and a tsunami that has crept into Japanese territory 10 kilometers to one of several central Nuclear has problems?
No, not learned anything. We should have learned that in this universe we live in nothing is certain, and that everything can fail. It should tell people: This plant may fail. The probability is low or very low, but may fail. ? They provide utilities to the citizens when they start a nuclear plant? Be rejected outright the sentence: 'Completely safe'
17. For underlying the reactor core 3, how would this affect other reactors? Would they fall for domino effect?
His melts the core of the reactor 3 may not CHILLED none of the others that would melt in turn.
18. Do you think that other nuclear Garona higher risk or greater benefit?
English plants have the same risks as the Japanese.
19. Japan is one of the countries with the highest number of measures SECURITY In earthquake and yet one of its nuclear power plants this producce an atomic disaster, the second most severe in history. We are prepared to face a similar situation in Spain? If a similar disaster occurred in a our plants (Burgos for example), which would have consequences for the population in the short, medium and long term? Thank you very much.
We equally unprepared to Japan for high hazard. The idea of \u200b\u200bthe Nuclear Safety Council is that extreme events have a rpobabilidad so low that it can happen. That his return tiemepo are millions of years. But they forget what is the probability: An improbable phenomenon can happen today. CAN HAPPEN. And it has happened in Japan. TOTAL SECURITY NO NEVER. Bvivir We know that we are subject to risks.
20. I am a doctor in Nuclear Physics. Is not it very risky to say the repect of the merger, that "physics that we know there these days there will never be fusion power plants? I think a sentence that runs contrary to what is science research. And it appears that defend vigorously the need for research into the use of energy from the Sun
With physics we know today there will be no fusion reactors ever. You may discover new laws such as Maxwell did, as did Einstein and Schroedinger, but with the physics of today we have tools to control nuclear fusion. The Sun itself does not in control: nuclear bombs are exploding out of control constantly. The research is finding new laws. That's the investigation. With what we now know we can not think of fusion power.
21. It would be advisable to accelerate research to use hydrogen as energy? Or is it as "dangerous" as nuclear energy?
Hydrogen is an energy productyor. In a buffer, which is called an energy carrier. It's dangerous, but little, as well as dangerous a kitchen knife, and the traffic. But radioactivity generated, and therefore less dangerous than nuclear fission.
22. "Spain could live only with renewable energy?
Spain Recine energy much more than enough from the Sun Install solar energy would be cheaper in the short term, would generate hundreds of thousands of jobs would open a new innovation race. Do not do it for the economic pressures. The technology is already 60 years in the nuclear part, and it works like a steam locomotive: Boil water for turbines Moive: A technology 160 years ago.
23. What is the level of physics students today? Would you like that one was a nuclear physicist?
The very few physics students are very good. But very few. Physical race is difficult, all students are placed, but nucho requires effort, and today the young guys do not want to strain.
24. Good morning and thank you for attending, As energy is more expensive in a home English if we eliminate nuclear weapons, and opted for clean energy. (which I love). thanks
I have all my house electrified. In the cooler winter months and with the isolated house, paying 350 euros a month for 3 people. That's 11 euros a day for three adults and 4 euros per day in electricity. On average between summer and winter does not arrive at 2 euros per day per person: What does a cane with a lid. Replace all our energy for the more expensive solar energy energoia day to 2.5 euros, 0.5 euros more, less than a cafe. But the advantages of employment generation and innovation outweigh common goods for all this little increase.
25. Japan is a quite small country, how much you may need nuclear energy?
Japan is about three times the population of Spain, is cold and power-intensive businesses. It has no coal, and natural gas noquiere spend for electricity. A country Racan.
26. Is it irresponsible for Japan to leave the solution to the nuclear catastrophe at the hands of a private company or are just companies that really have the means to salt the situation?
is irresponsible.
27. Why not create international emergency units with adequate equipment to respond to any disaster such as Fukushima, or perhaps a terrorist attack at a central? Something like nuclear fire.
If the nuclei are fused firefighters who serve there. And the cores are melted quickly in the cooling stops.
28. Ukraine, Russia, China, U.S. ... will maintain its commitment to nuclear hink what significance you will have the answer in Old Europe?
These countries are dominated by elites who never ask their citizens what they want. I hope that Europe recognizes the reality of what is the probability, that things can go wrong, and between squarely on the path of rationality and therefore of the solar mass.
Farewell
has been a pleasure to receive such interesting questions. Best wishes.!
