A request to release the British joined the European Union, and the Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Alexander Yakovenko called on the United Nations to prepare an independent report on the circumstances surrounding the incident with the detention of British sailors.

Data Intelligence : United States might launch an attack against Iran at the beginning of April

The Russian intelligence showed that the American armed forces have nearly completed preparations for a possible military operation against Iran, told RIA Novosti source in the Russian power structures.
According to the source, intelligence reporting indicates that the United States established a list of possible targets in Iran, and during the manoeuvres completed the operation.
According to the Russian military intelligence, the armed forces of the United States who are in the Persian Gulf have nearly completed preparations for raketno-bombowogo air strike against Iran, "said the source.
According to the source, the American command will be ready for the attacks in the first half of April, but the decision to launch a military operation to take the political leadership of the United States. USA threatened western military operation against the refusal Iranian leadership out nuclear programme. The latest resolution the United Nations Security Council against Iran, adopted this past weekend, the economic sanctions against that country, but excludes the use of military force. The American official, currently military presence in the region at the level of March 2003, when the invasion of the United States in Iraq. The source did not exclude that, in the case of a possible military operation, after the missile strike and damage assessment, the armed forces of Iran, as well as the situation after the attack publestvenno-politic high situation in the country, the Pentagon will decide, and the beginning of the ground operation. A senior source in the Russian power structures earlier, in an interview with RIA Novosti reported that recent military intelligence obtained evidence of the revitalization of the U.S. armed forces to the air, and ground operations against Iran. "It is caused by the fact that the Pentagon is looking for the most appropriate plan of attack on Iran, which would allow the Americans with minimal loss to the country to its knees," Who believes Agency. Vice-President of the Academy of Geopolitical Sciences, General Leonid Ivashov, in an interview with RIA Novosti on March 21 expressed confidence that the Pentagon is planning to make a massive air strike against the military infrastructure of Iran as soon as possible. "The operation will be, and more precisely aggressive action against Iran, I have no doubt," said the minister, commenting on the information of some media that the Pentagon was preparing against Iran military operation code-named "Ukus." The Ivachov on, as was the case last March in Washington Conference of the americano-israelski public relations (AIPAC), which had decided to support the administration of George Bush, as well as the fact that just a few days the United States Congress withdrew his amendment prohibiting the President without the approval of Congress to attack Iran. "We have clearly concluded that the operation would be. That is to say, the Israeli community of the United States and the Israeli leadership, which at the conference was represented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, gave a attack on Iran ", said the minister. In his view, the United States had no plans to ground operation. "Most likely, the ground invasion would be, but massive, exhaustive air strikes in order to obtain military protencial resistance, destroying centers administration, the economic hub facilities and perhaps guidance or part of the Iranian leadership," said the expert. Currently, in the Persian Gulf is one shock Avia the Navy, led by the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower (Dwight D. Eisenhower, CVN 69), told RIA Novosti on March 21 the command of the American Fifth Fleet Charlie Brown. "Yuri" Dwight Eisenhower "accompanies destroyer" refer "(Anzio, CG 68). Avia The second group, headed by the aircraft carrier Steines (Stennis) is in the north Arabian Sea. In the Persian Gulf region and are three operational teams, "said Brown. According to him, all in the region, accountable Fifth fleet of the United States, are 45 ships, 15 of which are owned by the U.S. partners in the coalition, and the rest were American.

10 inventions that shook the world

In summing up the achievements of human civilization, the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers (AIMMPE) was rated the most important discoveries made throughout its history. Given that the American Institute for investigating cases, the most attention he paid technology for their production.
One important achievement of scientific thought was unanimously acknowledged periodic table of elements Russian scientist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev (1869), without which all studies in the field of chemistry and nuclear physics would be very difficult.
Interestingly, a great idea Mendeleev came in a dream.
Master of all hands, bowling is his other invention, for many even more important than the periodic table : it is defined "ideal temperature for Russian vodka-40%. Furthermore, the great scientist typical manufacturing shop and has been an active member of the Union of Russian People, better known under the name "Black hundred."
The second AIMMPE set up technology smelting iron-indeed important for the development of all future civilization development occurred, the institution in Ancient Egypt in 1550 BC. Well, in the history of the Institute conducted much worse than in the technology and materials, or they knew that the first applied to iron hetta started, and it was 300 years earlier in Asia Minor.
Third replaced by transistor, invented in 1948 by American scientists William Gilbert, John Bardine and Walter Bratteinom obtaining for the Nobel Prize. Opening is certainly the beginning of miniature electronics, just why so unjustly forgotten radiolampa in which the electronics and began?
The fourth-an indispensable material such as glass, which appeared in 2200 BC. in the eastern Mediterranean. For scholars, it is first of all the material of manufacturing laboratory dishes, but for the general public-packaging for beer and spirits.
Microscope Dutch inventor Antoni van Levenguka (1632-1723) ranked fifth rating. Not content with a simple microscope, it has assembled device, which initially considered
blast and then Guy in the drop-and appalled! Since then, the genius drinking only tea and wine.
The sixth well as concrete monolith, a cement, which became effective on the 18th century and led a revolution in the construction industry. Incidentally, the old Berlin architect Friedrich Lantz had a revolution in the technology of the production of cement, offering to make it from the ... dog excreta!
Invention steel, which is seen as a 300 BC in India, was seventh. Needless to say-steel blades and games, and then steel cannons, tanks and bronenostsy played a crucial role in bringing together disparate empires in a modern civilization.
The eighth spot has produced more ancient weapons material-copper. She was fed the simplest way-finding copper nuggets. When they ended, about 5,000 years ago in Asia Minor gets inside the head of how it applied to the minerals. Incidentally, one of the oldest areas of metallurgy was Donbass, where archaeologists found copper mines and furnaces for smelting.
Diffraction X-rays crystals, which was opened in 1912, Max von Zoo was the ninth most important achievement of science. This has contributed immensely to the development of nuclear physics.
In the last, 10th place - converter for the smelting of steel from iron, which has set up English engineer Henry Bessemer (1813-1898). However, the method of obtaining the method martenovsky AIMMPE somehow ignored.

But so far, American science evolves identify the most important invention and the opening of mankind, simple British citizens approached the magazine "BBC Focus", commented on the fact that, in their view, not to invent it.
Powder, explosives and nuclear bombs were negative assessments 35% of respondents apparently are convinced pacifists.
Another odd-aversion mobile phone is 17% of the British, calling them the worst invention of mankind. Are they so disgusted supporters of the conservative English tranquillity?
On 9% negative ratings have nuclear power and television. Well, it is understandable that the first is a threat to the physical health and TV maim people mentally. But unexpectedly, as many Britons identified as the worst invention electric motoroller "Sinclair C5" released in the UK in 1985.
Six% of the respondents solemnly condemned cigarettes, cigars and other tobacco products, and the same vehicle. As can be seen, crews to the British several lesser evil than clean electric motoroller.
And at the end of the list of the worst inventions of humanity to the establishments fast food (3%), the camera speed for Surveys (3%) and related religion, which has been the most negative assessment of 2% of the British.
Meanwhile, the patent office received a growing number of requests, only in 2005, the World Intellectual Property Organization reported their 134,000! By the number of inventions traditionally led the United States, which together account for a third of all patents, they are Japan, Germany, France and Great Britain.

Perhaps, scientists were forecast for the next 50 years

Scientists were forecast for the next half-century. According to the experts, 50 years from now, people will stop older, meet friends and learn to talk to the fish. Such data publishes the British newspaper The Times.
Experts believe that humanity medicine machine, which will help recover damaged tissue. It will be a universal donor cells. Thus, there would be no need for organ transplants.
Scientists believe that robots will be nimble. A special device to understand the mood of animals, and even read some of their thoughts. The Labour claim that their forecast must be taken very seriously.

In Beijing subway collapsed tunnel, which was damaged people

Six people were buried beneath the rubble as a result of caving ground for the construction of subway line in Beijing.
As writes newspaper "Sinjin bao", the accident occurred on Wednesday. Typhoon tunnel was a construction out of the metro station. Workers were flooded with a mixture of earth and concrete. Based on eyewitness accounts, on the surface, more cattle.
Under search-rescue work, but builders say that the chances of finding survivors exist.
According to the publication construction company tried to hide from the authorities of the accident, and its representatives as soon as caving even stole all working cellular phones.
In Beijing, is construction of several branches subway. It is expected that all of them should be put into operation in Olympics-2008. Total by August next year in the capital will be built 84 kilometres of new subway lines.
