Australia’s unannounced ‘totalitarian’ web filter causes alarm
Australia’s government is under fire after it appears to have introduced web censorship without warning, expanding already-controversial powers to block access to child pornography into a wider web filtering system.
The reluctance of the government to release information about who has requested sites be blocked, and lists of those sites, has also alarmed many Australians. Two convenors from Melbourne Free University (MFU), whose site was blocked without warning or explanation on 4 April, have described it as a “glimpse [of] the everyday reality of living under a totalitarian government”.
For a country that perhaps has a reputation for taking it easy, Australia’s governments have been particularly keen on web censorship. In 2008, a web filter was proposed that would have potentially blocked as many as 10,000 sites by placing them on a blacklist, but years of criticism from industry, political and public groups — including Anonymous ” declaring war” on it, and Wikileaks publishing the confidential blacklist to show it included some sites that were only, contrary to government assurances, subjectively offensive — led to the idea being dropped in November 2012.
That might have been the end of it, but no — instead of going through legislative channels, it looks like web censorship is back, and this time it’s taking advantage of a legal loophole. On 4 April, more than 1,200 sites were suddenty unavailable to Australian web users.

Fukushima No. 1 can’t keep its head above tainted water
–94,500 tons of radioactive water remain inside Fukushima’s basement floors 21 May 2013 More than two years into the triple-meltdown crisis at the Fukushima No. 1 power plant, workers continue to wage a desperate battle to keep the stricken reactors cool while trying to contain the 400 tons of radioactive water produced by the process each day. Tokyo Electric Power Co. must decommission the three reactors, but the water is thwarting the effort. The decommissioning, if it ever starts, will take decades. As of May 7, Tepco had routed 290,000 tons of radioactive water into some 940 huge tanks at the complex, but 94,500 tons remain inside the basement floors of the reactor buildings and other facilities.

Charging EV’s Faster than Filling a Normal Tank with Gasoline
Tesla Motors really is grabbing the headlines at the moment, and CEO Elon Musk is using the publicity to make some bold claims. Having recently published impressive first quarter results that far exceeded analyst expectations, and announce a new round of stock offerings to raise money to pay of the Department of Energy loan earlier than forecast, Musk has now posted on his Twitter account the following Tweet:
“There is a way for the Tesla Model S to be recharged throughout the country faster than you could fill a gas tank.”
In the quarterly report there was mention made of a ‘battery swapping’ feature that would indeed enable EV owners to drive into a station, and merely swap their drained battery for a fully charged one in less time than it takes to fill a regular cars tank with gasoline.

Nuclear cover up at fukushima to save money – U.N.S.C.E.A.R. obliges- ICRP dose advice increased!.
Frightening Report from the UNSCEAR (The United nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation UNSCEAR-国連科学委員会による、恐るべき報告。

日本政府は、福島事故後、ICRPの緊急事態における暫定基準20mSv/yを、福島県の汚染地域に、適用してきた。 事故から、2年たち、、それでは、通用しなくなり、現在は、100mSv/yまでなら、安全としているUNSCEARの基準を、適用しています。In the Prime Minister’s web-page, it says that the Japanese Government supports the UN General Assembly, UNSCEAR’s activities.
日本政府は、国連総会、UNSCEARの活動を支持をしていると、官邸ページに記されています。

チェルノビルからの報告を無視し, 間違った調査報告を基にして、作成されている。
福島事故で「健康への影響無し」
…….報告書により、世界はようやく正気に戻り、人体に害を与えないことに無駄な時間を費やすのをやめ、実際に悪影響を及ぼす問題、そして本当に注意を必要とする人々に目を向けるようになるかもしれない。…..
国連総会で承認された報告書
UNSCEARは世界各国の専門家で構成される独立機関として1995年から定期的に会 合を開いている。原爆の生存者、チェルノブイリ原発 事故の影響、産業界で起きた放射線による事故、医療現場での放射線治療の研究を通じて放射能への人類の理解を促進するとともに、放射性物質による発がん性 が低いことも明らかにしてきた。
UNSCEAR のウォルフガング・ワイス委員長は、事故のあった原発の周辺地域の住民、労働者、子供たちには、放射能による健康への影響は一切観察されていない、と述べ ている。これは世界保健機関(WHO)や東京大学が既に発表した研究成果とも一致している。原発周辺地域の住人が被曝した放射線量は非常に低く、識別でき るような健康被害が生じることはまったく考えられない。
[…]
日本政府は様々な失敗を犯したが、福島県で速やかに避難を実施し、汚染された食品や飲料水が消費されるのを正しく防いだ。これは旧ソ連政府が意図的に市民から情報を隠したチェルノブイリ事故とは対照的だ。
結局のところ、放射能への恐怖ではなく真実にもとづいて行動するように変わらなければ、 われわれは日本、ベラルーシ、ウクライナの人々に責 務を果たしたことにならないうえ、今後も見当違いのことに時間とカネを費やすことになるだろう。反核運動家や陰謀説が好きな人々は今回の国連の報告書を受 け入れないだろうが、彼らはどのみち国連が嫌いなのだ。

……You know, like everyone’s been doing since Chernobyl. Like everyone’s continues with Fukushima.
Finally, the world may come to its senses and not waste time on the things that aren’t hurting us and spend time on the things that are.
And on the people that are in real need.
Like the infrastructure and economic destruction wrought by the tsunami,
Like cleaning up the actual hot spots around Fukushima,
Like caring for the tens of thousands of Japanese living in fear of radiation levels so low that the fear itself is the only thing that is hurting them,
Like seriously preparing to restart their nuclear fleet and listening to the IAEA and the U.S. when we suggest improvements…
