Just starting another day with a smile.

Society:
-The green city that has a brain. And this one suprise me very positively :D The planned city of PlanIT Valley, on the outskirts of Paredes in northern Portugal (see map), is aiming to be an environmentally sustainable city. And, just like an organism, it will have a brain: a central computer that regulates everything from its water use to energy consumption.
-Hungary looks into nationalizing the responsible company for the spill. But that is not what I consider the good news. The good news is that they intend to force the responsibles to pay the 73 million Euros for environmental damages.
-Close healthwatch on miners before ascent. Almost over...
-Greek policeman jailed for murder of teenager. Though it was mostly due to social pressure. I think it's good to have heavier sentences in such crimes.

Technology:
-Exoskeleton helps the paralysed walk again.
-Gliding spaceship brings space tourism closer. Almost there... :)

Arts or maybe Society..:
Something to look into anyway.
-The yes man fix the world. It's a really cool movie, free of charge to be downloaded. I give my thanks and support to Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno.
