Trump new business

To finish this 42 last blogs, i choose an article which relates, of course, United Kingdom with North America.
Donald Trump had a plan to build a £1bn golf course, but Scottish councillors reject it.
As we continuing reading, councillors have thrown out the US tycoon Donald Trump's plan for a £1bn golf resort and complex in north-east Scotland. Aberdeenshire council's infrastructure services committee rejected a planning application for the Trump International Golf Links Scotland in a close vote today, but members of the more powerful infrastructure committee voted against the proposal.
Less water that will be spend in a project which is no needed to a country's development, apart from leisure time and sport!

Winner for independent

As the article shows, Control won five awards at the British Independent Film Awards last night, including best film, best director and best debut director.
I want to watch it!

Why?

This issue about Brown's boycott to African minister presence in Lisbon is not new, yet, the African president will travel to Lisbon in Brown's place.
President Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe announced yesterday that he will travel to Europe next week to attend a summit of EU and African leaders in Lisbon, confounding EU hopes he would stay away, and triggering frantic plans by his Portuguese hosts to try to keep him from stealing the summit limelight.
African leaders had threatened to cancel the Lisbon meeting if Mugabe was not invited, while the prime minister, Gordon Brown, confirmed yesterday that he would boycott the summit because of the presence of the Zimbabwe leader.
As a Portuguese citizen I have to share my disappointment on my country's decision on accepting this dictator and murder to go in just because it is "politically correct" to accept him. Well done for Gordon Brown!

No Woody for Spain

I read an article yesterday in El Pais saying that Woody Allen quits Spain in film funds row. Well today this news came to the newspapers in the UK.
When Woody Allen arrived in Barcelona in July to start making his latest film, he was greeted with open arms, but yesterday the president of Mediapro, the Catalan production company behind Allen's new film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has announced that two future projects will be made "neither in Catalonia nor in Spain", as had been previously planned.
Jaume Roures blamed what he said was the "small-minded attitude" of local politicians and press, who complained Allen received special treatment in Barcelona.

Youtuberians

Talking in YouTube.com is what everyone seems to be doing.
As this article states, Republicans debate God, guns, gays and especially immigration in a live blog. The form may have been different, but the content was familiar. In the second debate of the presidential nomination campaign sponsored by the website YouTube, Republican front-runners Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney frequently tangled on issues ranging from immigration to taxation.

Creationism

When we start studying subjects like biology, the name of Darwin and his theories about Evolution come along.
This article maintains that a growing numbers of pupils believe in creationism, and science teachers should be prepared to cover the topic in their classes.
Creationism - the belief that life came into existence thousands of years ago as described in the Bible or the Qur'an, rather than millions of years ago, which scientists believe - is on the rise in the UK. This makes the teaching of the scientific theory of evolution a problem in some schools.
I am very happy that creationism is being take into account to the reason of our existence... at least scientist are given it a chance!

Blasphemy

Accordingly with this article, Christians seek right to sue BBC for blasphemy.
A Christian group is trying to prosecute the producer and broadcaster of Jerry Springer - The Opera under blasphemy laws will take its case to the high court in London today.
Christian Voice wants to bring a case against Mark Thompson, the director general of the BBC, and Jonathan Thoday, producer of the award-winning musical, for blasphemous libel, but was refused permission by City of Westminster magistrates court.
