THE MINI BAND APPRECIATION POST

Hello guys :B
 Probably you have already seen this video before:


Or not. Whatever, the point is: they're amazing and I decided to write about them :)
 The Mini Band is formed in Thatcham (UK) by Harry Jackson ( 9 years old ), Zoe Thomson ( 8 years old ), Kieran Fell ( 9 years old ), Harrison ( 8 years old ), Charlie Emmons ( 11 years old ) and Archie Zolotuhin ( 10 years old ).
 They became famous because of the Metallica cover but they already released a music video and they even appeared on TV:



And even on Russian TV:



No subtitles, I'm sorry :/ think of it as a gift for Russian viewers :)
 Pictures:


They have a Facebook page, an Official website (actually a Tumblr, but who cares?) and you can see their videos here.
 I hope you like it, because right now I'm like this: 


That's it. :3

AWESOME VIDEO

Hey guys :)
 How are you?
Right now I was surfing the net and I found this video here (in Portuguese). And I was like "OMG this is so amazing" ヾ(* ∀ *)ノ


And I just finished reading The Lord of the Rings - The Fellowship of the Ring and started The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I'm on page 103, it's awesome (∩^ω^∩) I would like to read this in Swedish. I'm feeling that urge to study Swedish again. Someone knows some website or whatever where I can learn? I was studying here but I studied all these lessons. A lot of times. :/
BTW, the poll about changing this blog's title will be open for more six days (and I'll probably change the URL too) :3
 That's it. Now I think it's a good moment to have lunch. And study violin. And prepare myself to go back to school (next week, but whatever, I'm going back) :S

 Bye

IMPORTANT WARNING [ACTA]

Hey guys
 Now people stopped with the SOPA thing to talk about ACTA, which is a international treaty and it's worse then SOPA and PIPA.

The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a proposed plurilateral agreement for the purpose of establishing international standards on intellectual property rights enforcement. It would establish an international legal framework for countries to join voluntarily, and would create a governing body outside international institutions such as the World Trade Organization (WTO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) or the United Nations. Negotiating countries have described it as a response "to the increase in global trade of counterfeit goods and pirated copyright protected works." The scope of ACTA includes counterfeit goods, generic medicines and copyright infringement on the Internet. Groups such as the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) oppose ACTA, stating that civil society groups and developing countries were excluded from discussion during ACTA's development in an example of policy laundering.

Opponents have argued that the treaty will restrict fundamental civil and digital rights, including freedom of expression and communication privacy. "The bulk of the WTO's 153 members" have raised concerns that the treaty could distort trade and goes beyond the existing Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. Opponents also criticize ACTA's removal of "legal safeguards that protect Internet Service Providers from liability for the actions of their subscribers" in effect giving ISPs no option but to comply with privacy invasions. According to an analysis by the Free Software Foundation, ACTA would require that existing ISPs no longer host free software that can access copyrighted media, and DRM-protected media would not be legally playable with free or open source software.

ACTA was first developed by Japan and the United States in 2006. Canada, the European Union and Switzerland joined the preliminary talks throughout 2006 and 2007. Official negotiations began in June 2008, with Australia, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, South Korea and Singapore joining the talks. Apart from the participating governments, an advisory committee of large US-based multinational corporations was consulted on the content of the draft treaty, including the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and the International Intellectual Property Alliance (which includes the Business Software Alliance, Motion Picture Association of America, and Recording Industry Association of America). The treaty calls for the creation of an "ACTA committee" to make amendments, for which public or judicial review are not required. Industry representatives may have "consolatory input" to amendments.

ACTA first came to public attention in May 2008 after a discussion paper was uploaded to  Wikileaks . After more leaks in 2009 and 2010 and denied requests for disclosure by groups such as Doctors without Borders, IP Justice, the Canadian Library Association, and the Consumers Union of Japan, the negotiating parties published an official version of the then current draft on 20 April 2010. In June 2010, a conference with "over 90 academics, practitioners and public interest organizations from six continents" concluded "that the terms of the publicly released draft of ACTA threaten numerous public interests, including every concern specifically disclaimed by negotiators." A group of 75+ law professors signed a letter to President Obama demanding that ACTA be halted and changed.

Hello guys 
 I'm not feeling nice today so I won't do a big text about any band, OK? (No, it's not because Wikipedia blackout. Even because the one in Portuguese is still working.). Tomorrow I'll find two bands or something else to write about.
 Today there's these awesome stuff from Tumblr.



I don't remember the URLs, I just saved this pics on my computer a long time ago.
 See you tomorrow.

L'ÂME IMMORTELLE APPRECIATION POST

Hey guys :)
 I saw this band for the first time when I was searching stuff to put on the post about NDH but I kind of forgot about them ( I don't understand either ).  But them I found this video: 
And then I remembered and now I'm making a post.

 The band was formed in 1996 in Austria by friends Thomas Rainer and Hannes Medwenitsch and vocalist Sonja Kraushofer, a former classmate of Rainer, joined and the band sought a record contract. They released their first album, Lieder die wie Wunden bluten in 1997.

In 1999, L'Âme Immortelle switched to Trisol Records (part of Trisol Music Group GmbH).From 1998 through 2001, L'Âme Immortelle released another LP yearly, each bringing the band greater popularity. In 2002, Medwenitsch left the band. Kraushofer and Rainer recruited Ashley Dayour (from the Austrian band Whispers in the shadow) as a guitarist and they released a new single,Tiefster Winter in November 2002. In 2003, L'Âme Immortelle released Als die Liebe starb, as well as Seelensturm, a collection of re-issued and re-mixed early material. After that, they switched labels again, this time to major label Supersonic (Sony BMG Music Entertainment).The first issue following the switch was a collaboration with Oomph! on the non-album single Brennende Liebe (released as Oomph! feat. L'Âme Immortelle); they also appeared in the video. Following that, L'Âme Immortelle released a new album, Gezeiten. After that they released the album Auf deinen Schwingen and a 10 year retrospective best-of album called "10 Jahre" which also includes 2 new exclusive tracks ("Let Me Fall" and "Come Closer").

In December 2007, Trisol Records announced that L'Âme Immortelle had returned to the Trisol label to release a new album, Namenlos and, on November 18, 2011, the band announced January 27, 2012 as the release date for their tenth studio album Momente.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST APPRECIATION POST

Hi again :)
 It's been a while since the last time I wrote about anime, right? 
Yesterday I thought about Fullmetal Alchemist for some random reason, and now here's the post.

 Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師), is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. The world of Fullmetal Alchemist is styled after the European Industrial Revolution. Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques known to man, the story follows the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who want to find the  Philosopher's Stone and use it to restore their bodies after a disastrous failed attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy.
 Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, their mother, Trisha Elric died of a terminal illness, leaving them alone. After that, Edward became determined to bring her back. They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Some days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visited the Elric brothers, and proposed that Edward become a State Alchemist of the country in exchange for more research materials to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm were replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, created for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.

Hey there :)
 Here's the second part of the "Pokemon in real life" thing:


And some random useless pics:

It was frustrating to go to the beach with that cold and rainy weather :S but the worst part was that there weren't enough space on the car to take my violin and I have to train a lot now because the class starts this week.

See you
