The Oscar 2010 took place several months ago, but film directors keep on working hard on their new projects. Check out the list of the latest and the best movie releases of this month:

In Robin Hood story star Russel Crowe and Cate Blanchett.

5.    Just Wright. Leslie is a perfect physical therapist who has got a chance to work with NBA star Scott McKnight. Then she falls in love with the sportsman, and had difficulties with choosing between career and her heart.

I think that everybody who watches news from time to time has heard about frequent accidents with Somali pirates. A decade before they were not as active as today, which has driven public’s attention towards the issue. But do you know who they are and what modern day piracy is like.
First of all, the pirates of today are not adventure seekers who travel all over the world, they are rather bandits who long for easy money by all means. Pirates are well equipped with modern weapons, mobile phones, and all necessary gadgets. The most frequent places of their activity are the areas of Singapore and Indonesia, the Red Sea and the Indian Sea.

You may wonder how such a phenomenon can exist in a civilized and highly developed society. The reason is most pirates have ties to organized crime and to the government. At least, pirates from Somalia, the Far East and the South Chine Sea definitely do.
By the way, it was estimated that an annual financial loss due to piracy is as much as $ 13 – 16 billion. Meanwhile, what ship owners are able to return through insurance companies is only 30 per cent of a loss. Besides, there are a lot of cases of crew kidnapping. It is supposed that in 72 per cent of attacks, pirates take a crew. Then they demand a dizzily high ransom for hostages. An average ransom is $ 120,000. So some ship owners prefer to hire a security organization at about the same cost to protect their ship, crew and cargo.

What makes me really surprised is that now there are almost no laws against pirates. So if pirates are captured, they are released very soon after just being questioned. Due to such little deterrent, pirates’ “business” is flourishing. And that is not the only breach in the modern society, remember Shocking Facts about Modern Slavery. It is high time to stop it.

Hi, there. Sometimes I wonder what can surprise you. We have talked so much about funny, dangerous or shocking moments, we remembered outstanding people (let’s take Jeff Baxter video clips). And finally I realized – there are lots of those who have not seen video opening ceremony Olympics. Let’s do it.It is said in China that number 8 brings happiness and has magic power. So the 2008 Summer Olympics opening ceremony started at 8.00 pm on August 8, 2008, and was expected to “blow up” the stadium.

The ceremony was opened by modern drum sequence including 2008 drummers with glowing drumsticks. They were followed by another inimitable invention of Chinese designers and engineers, a chain of 29 fireworks in the shape of footprints. Each footprint represented each one of the 29 Olympiads. As a rule such an awesome action complete a performance but China proved to be an exception. So immediately after magnificent trail of fireworks in the midair appeared twenty “fairies” flying next to Olympics rings of giant dimensions.

Not less captivating was appearance of 56 children that represented 56 different ethnic groups of contemporary China. It causes huge interest that the girl heading the parade was seen singing Ode to the Motherland, while the song was in reality performed by another girl. From the very beginning, the ceremony was entangled in rumors and accidents. For example, the SBS channel filmed rehearsals secretly and leaked some of it, which is prohibited by law. Or, let’s remember scandal about computer simulated fireworks. In the Internet appeared titles going that it was a fake and we were fooled. Well, in my opinion, we got a breathtaking show, and the way it was made is not our business. If it was not made in a traditional way, it testifies Chinese engineers’ imagination and qualification, which did their best to impress spectators.
