(en) Has the universe always existed? How did it become a place that could harbor life? NOVA presents some startling new answers in Origins, a new 4-part series. New clues from the frontiers of science are presented by astrophysicist Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. As the host of Origins, Tyson leads viewers on a journey to the beginning of time and to the depths of space, in search of the first stirrings of life and its traces on other worlds.
The documentary is very scientific considering as many options/possibilities as possible. Everything is well done. Just when you think they will skip an idea or just touch one it, they do a good job elaborating on it. The topics covered include: How the Earth formed?, How common is an earth-like planet?, search for extra-solar planets, the chemistry of life, formation of life molecules, big bang theory, cosmic microwave background and much more. If you like documentaries about origins of life and space, then this is likely one that you will enjoy.
I would strongly urge all members of “Planet Earth” to take a few entertaining and informative hours to understand what we know today about the origin of the Earth. Even if you are not in agreement, it gives you an idea on what popular consensis in the scientific community today.

(en) Based on facts, the Award Winning documentary, The Canary Effect is a culmination of Yellow Thunder Woman’s first hand experience growing up as a Native American and Robin’s passionate empathy of the need to bring such truths to a wider audience. This is the directors, Robin Davey & Yellow Thunder Woman’s debut film and has been a hit on the International film festival circuit.
Delving deep into the often misunderstood and frequently over looked historic realities of the American Indian, The Canary Effect follows the terrifying and horrific abuses instilled upon the Indigenous people of North America, and details the genocidal practices of the US government and its continuing affects on present day Indian country.
Featuring interviews with the leading scholars and experts on Indian issues including controversial author Ward Churchill, the film brings together the past and present in a way never before captured so eloquently and boldly on film.

(en) An hour-long special made by Banksy charting the history of behaving badly in public, from anarchists and activists to attention seeking eccentrics.
Contributors include Michael Fagan talking about breaking into the Queen's bedroom: 'I looked into her eyes, they were dark'; and Noel Godin, who pioneered attacking celebrities with custard pies: 'Instead of a bullet I give them a cake'.
Explaining his reasoning behind the show, Banksy said: 'Basically I just thought it was a good name for a TV programme and I've been working back from there'.
Narrated by Kathy Burke and produced by Jamie D'cruz, The Antics Roadshow examines the stories behind some of the most audacious stunts of recent times and what motivates the perpetrators, from mindless boredom to heartfelt political beliefs.
It includes a world exclusive first interview with the man responsible for putting the turf Mohican on Winston Churchill's head.

(en) 100 pounds overweight, loaded up on steroids and suffering from a debilitating autoimmune disease, Joe Cross is at the end of his rope and the end of his hope. In the mirror he saw a 310lb man whose gut was bigger than a beach ball and a path laid out before him that wouldn't end well- with one foot already in the grave, the other wasn't far behind. FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD is an inspiring film that chronicles Joe's personal mission to regain his health. With doctors and conventional medicines unable to help long-term, Joe turns to the only option left, the body's ability to heal itself. He trades in the junk food and hits the road with juicer and generator in tow, vowing only to drink fresh fruit and vegetable juice for the next 60 days. Across 3,000 miles Joe has one goal in mind: To get off his pills and achieve a balanced lifestyle. While talking to more than 500 Americans about food, health and longevity, it's at a truck stop in Arizona where Joe meets a truck driver who suffers from the same rare condition. Phil Staples is morbidly obese weighing in at 429 lbs; a cheeseburger away from a heart-attack. As Joe is recovering his health, Phil begins his own epic journey to get well. What emerges is nothing short of amazing - an inspiring tale of healing and human connection. Part road trip, part self-help manifesto, FAT, SICK & NEARLY DEAD defies the traditional documentary format to present an unconventional and uplifting story of two men from different worlds who each realize that the only person who can save them is themselves.

(en) In economically turbulent times, rent and home-ownership have become unaffordable at best and impossible at worst. Thus, people all over the world continue a long tradition of reclaiming this basic human right by squatting. Shelter: a Squatumentary is a documentary film that explores the squatting movement in the East Bay from 2004 to 2007. We follow three examples of the struggle for housing in an unaffordable marketplace such as the San Francisco Bay Area. Hellarity House, Banana House, and Power Machine are stories of squatters who have found one tentative solution to the ongoing housing crisis.
(sk) V ekonomicky nepriaznivých časoch sa prenájom a vlastníctvo domu stáva nedosiahnuteľným cieľom a prinajhoršom nemožným. Preto ľudia po celom svete pokračujú v tradícii a opätovne si získavajú svoje základné ľudské právo squatovaním (obsadzovaním neobývaných priestorov).

(en) 'American Nazis' goes inside the growing trend of hate in America.
Neo-Nazi groups in the U.S. are made up of many factions, but they share a common ideology that includes veneration of Hitler, hatred of Jews, and white supremacy. We go inside three extreme groups - Aryan Nations, White Revolution, and the Nationalist Socialist Movement - to discover how they exploit anti-immigration sentiment for their own agenda, and how their violent rhetoric has led to hate crimes against Jews and Latinos.

Blocade of logging in Sumava National Park

Nesouhlasíme se zásahy správy NP Šumava v první a druhé zóně parku, ve kterých kácí i více jak 100 let staré stromy ve jménu boje s kůrovcem. Stromy jsou káceny bez ohledu na jejich stav (nejen napadené, ale i zdravé), bez ohledu na legalitu tohoto zákroku a zejména bez ohledu na základní ideu národního parku - ponechat přírodu přírodě. V důsledku kácení v lese vznikají holiny, půda je sluncem vysoušena a dochází k změně celého ekosystému.

Stop the destruction of Sumava National Parkbest regards
Jaromir
Sumava is the largest national park in the Czech Republic, and arguably the closest thing our country has got to real wilderness. The national park encompasses more than 600 square kilometres of mountain spruce forests, peat bogs and other wetlands, glacial lakes and flower rich meadows. It is home to vital populations of lynx, caterpillare, black grouse, Ural owl and European elk. Sumava is a Natura 2000 site under both Bird and Habitat Directives, a UNESCO biosphere reserve, and its peat bogs and peat forests are listed as a Ramsar site.
However a recently installed new director of the national park Jan Strasky proposed large scale cutting of spruce forests in the national park. This will lead to enormous clearcuts across the national park. Beautiful habitats of ancient mountain forests will be lost. The official reason for that is bark beetle gradation, and vast majority of the trees to be cut is actually infected by the bark beetle. However, the situation is also a good excuse for timber extraction, and national politicians are under heavy pressure from logging interests.
Jan Strasky is former politician and a long-time critic of modern nature conservation. He famously said „The Nature is the enemy and therefore one must fight it. If it wouldn't be for my ancestors who fought various animals I would not be here today“.He announced also intention to implement and realize plans for certain projects such as ski lift to Hranicnik, enlargement of the road to Zadni Zvonkova border crossing point (CR / A), to support development of existing municipalities inside or around national park allowing further construction of new private buildings or even establishment of new municipalities inside NP. It is common knowledge that political groups associated with real estate speculators, developers and logging companies are behind appointment of Mr. Strasky.
Yet director Strasky and his first deputy Jiri Manek ordered logging inside some areas which until now were declaired as non-intervention forests. One of them is the area around Ptaci potok (Bird Creek) – waterlogged spruce forests and even peat bog spruce forests between peat-bogs and moors (cernohorsky moore, Ptaci peat bog, Ztracena peat bog and Modrava Creek). The whole area is a part of large complex of Modrava Peatbogs – the most precious jewel of sumava National Park and a crucial part of sumava Ramsar Site.
Hnuti DUHA – Friends of Earth Czech Republic initiated an investigation at Czech Environmental Inspection and Czech State Police [1]. Birdlife CR wrote a letter to DG Envi EU Commission. Since neither of those authorities stopped the logging in area mentioned, activists from Hnuti DUHA – FoE CR, Greenpeace CR, Birdlife CR and other NGOs, even ordinary citizens started peaceful blocade of cutting trees in the field. After 10 days National Park Administration obtained a preliminary decision set by a court ordering Hnuti DUHA – FoE CR to stop organizing the blocade. The court ruling isn't about legality / illegality of the logging. From the justification for the court's decision it is obvious that court was misled by NP director Strasky who did not mention valid administrative acts set by Czech Ministry of Environment. Hnuti DUHA – Friends of Earth CR obeyed the court's rule but filled an appeal against it at the same time. Other citizens continue the blockade and their number increased in last few days from 30 to 70.
National Park Administration summoned state police to disperse this peaceful blockade. Police force includes special police commando units for public order and anti-conflict team. For 4 days now cca 60 policemen assist this illegal logging, dragging protesters away from forest, handcuff them and even using physical force which is in some cases used even by working lumberjacks. One policeman strangled one of the girls and threatened “to kill her”. Police is not able to maintain the safety of protesters while some trees are being fell directly inbetween people. There's no charge against protesters other than that they failed to obey police order to stop enter and stay inside logging area, which (according to lawyers from Czech Environmental Law Lawyers Service) is not an offense at all in this particular case because the logging itself is illegal and protesters are only trying to stop this illegal action.
Czech Environment Minister doing nothing and Czech Environment Inspection just standing aside.
Some leading Czech scientists protest against logging and devastation of sumava National Park, some of those even taking part on the blockade in person.
Not only Bird Creek area is endangered by logging or even clearcutting. Thousands of trees are marked to be cut in other core areas of the national park (Bavorska cesta, Jezerni hrbet) where important nesting spots for capercaillie lie. Since start of August 2011 the NP Administration management plans to start logging inside unique mountinous ancient forest at Smrcina / Hranicnik area at Austrian border where plans exist to build a ski lift or even ski slopes (by Southern Bohemian Regional Government).
However completely inadequate deployment of police forces suggest that it is not just this particular logging of 3 to 6 thousand trees in the vicinity of Bird Creek but rather a demonstration of political power aiming to devastate national park, its mission and values in the public eye. Bird Creek Area which lies inside so called Wild Heart of Europe became a symbol for that.

Please spread this information around the World.
Please write to the key Czech officials who are responsible for the national park. Some of the key talking points are as follows:
· Ask them to stop immediately logging in previous non- intervention areas in Sumava NP
· Ask them to stop violence and Police actions against peacefull civic blocade of cutting trees
· You may want to emphasise that leaving substantial zones – usually more than 50% of the park – without human intervention is a common practice in national parks in Central and Western Europe, and that it includes non-interference with natural disturbance such as windbreaks and bark beetle.
· The government needs to understand that if it goes ahead with logging in the national park’s non-intervention zones, Sumava will not meet IUCN national park standards anymore.
· You could also stress that protection of wild nature and fascinating experience of forest wilderness attracts thousands of tourists to Sumava and other national parks in Europe.
· Evidence shows that mountain spruce forests regenerate after bark beetle gradations in European national parks, and this regeneration is faster than after artificial re-planting of clearcuts. Also, biodiversity and visitor value of naturally regenerating forests wilderness is much higher than that of clearcuts after intervention against bark beetle.

Remarks:
[1] The proposal to reduce non-intervention areas did not pass regular legislative / administrative procedure – especially Natura 2000 assesment that should evaluate its impact on natural habitats and species protected by EU Directives. In other words to actually showwhich is worse from nature's point of view – let the trees inside NP die by bark beetle as a natural course of action or cut them down as a protection measure against bark beetle spread out to other parts of NP. Further more the relevant nature protection authority (which in this case is NP Administration itself) did not grant any exceptions from basic conditions of NP set by Law on Nature and Landscape Protection which would allow damaging the nature inside a national park – namely changes to the structure and functions of ecosystems, biological diversity etc. (thus creating clearings inside a forest) and damages to habitats with endangered species of wild flora and fauna.
