Alien Sock Thieves and Outer Space Pancakes
Rosa and the Alien Sock Thieves Rosa Lotti was going to lay some flowers on a grave that November 1st of 1954. She lived in Cennani, Italy. she was hiking through a small wooded area, and knew the footpaths very well. Nothing seemed amiss, it was a lovely day, and she took off her stockings to avoid getting them snagged in thorns and brambles.
The new fuel to come from Saudi Arabia
On the edge of the Saudi Arabian desert beside the Red Sea, a futuristic city called Neom is due to be built. The $500bn (£380bn) city – complete with flying taxis and robotic domestic help – is planned to become home to a million people. And what energy product will be used both to power this city and sell to the world? Not oil. Instead, Saudi Arabia is banking on a different fuel – green hydrogen. This carbon-free fuel made is from water by using renewably produced electricity to split hydrogen molecules from oxygen molecules.

There has never been a film like Metropolis, which was lensed nearly one hundred years ago, and which has an enduring power that verges on the supernatural. You may think I exaggerate; I do not. I first saw the film in a dream, as a child, before I EVER SAW A SINGLE FRAME OF IT.
The new use for abandoned oil rigs
he grey steel girders of Platform Holly rise 235ft (72m) above the waters of the Pacific Ocean, just a couple of miles off the Santa Barbara coast. Above the water, this decommissioned oil rig is dull and lifeless, but the view below the surface is very different. Beneath the waves, colourful fish, crabs, starfish and mussels congregate on the huge steel pylons, which stretch for more than 400ft (120m) to the ocean floor.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
The Day the Earth Stood Still is an exemplary example of Cold War jitters. Made in 1951, based on the story "Farewell to the Master" (the particulars of which I can remember very little about at this point), it begins with a glowing "flying saucer" with a classic look, landing on the Washington Mall. A ramp cooly slides from the surface, as the military and curious onlookers surround the alien craft. A being in a weird silver suit and a helmet covering its face points a weird object with a springy antenna at the crowd, but is promptly shot by some Army grunt and falls to the ground. His robot, Gort, a hulking mass of Fifties sci-fi aluminum comes to life, and strides like Karloff's Creature down the ramp. A visor slides back, and a ray beam melts the grunts' rifles.
What would happen if we stopped using plastic?
Of the 8,300 million tonnes of virgin plastic produced up to the end of 2015, 6,300 million tonnes has been discarded. Most of that plastic waste is still with us, entombed in landfills or polluting the environment. Microplastics have been found in Antarctic sea ice, in the guts of animals that live in the deepest ocean trenches, and in drinking water around the world. In fact, plastic waste is now so widespread that researchers have suggested it could be used as a geological indicator of the Anthropocene.
Turnell FeliuPublished 2 years ago in FuturismManagement is actually a very simple thing, just these three words to lead a team!
In the era of big entrepreneurship, there is never a single fighter. The success of all businesses and individual leaders cannot be achieved without the strength of the organization and the team. The ability to build a team set a strategy, and lead a team is crucial!
Turnell FeliuPublished 2 years ago in FuturismSince the leader is a villain, so what if you let him have three points?
Jutsu is a smart, kind, strong, and a little stubborn girl. She is a good person, intelligent, hard-working, and generous, and she is liked and liked in every way.
Turnell FeliuPublished 2 years ago in FuturismBeing made redundant or taking a pay cut to find a job, you must have your own plan or it will be worse than redundancy!
In the market economy, whether it is a well-known Fortune 500 company, a once-stable state-owned enterprise, or a private enterprise with good momentum, basically all encounter bad business conditions. The news of layoffs is flying around, and those who can stay in the company without being laid off are also in deep crisis and worried about their professional future.
Turnell FeliuPublished 2 years ago in FuturismInvasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a Cold War-era Red Scare parable about giant seed pods" from outer space. They suck the mental and physical attributes of sleeping humans and disgorge identical replicas of them. We know this because of the smooth, featureless body that is laid out later on a pool table, just waiting to assimilate the features of the bartender. This happens in Santa Mira, California. Where else?
Close Encounters of the Third KInd (Director's Cut)
***I've seen a UFO. Up close. Matter of fact, I've seen a couple of them. I don't know, specifically, what that means about ME, but, as far as the influence of the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind on m life, it WAS one of the first films from infanthood (along with Time After Time (1979) and Salem's Lot (1979), and the TV adaptation of the stage play of The Elephant Man (1982)) to indelibly etch its scenes into my subconscious. Especially the mantis-like alien that first appears during the final scenes of the film.
