Goro Adachi posted a piece on Sarah Palin and was given a term called "Palingenisis" which means the "rebirth of fascism".
"...the doctrines which are used to comprise the political ideology of fascism often move to describe it as a "palingenetic ideology", primarily as a result of the notion that fascism itself is the rebirth of a state and/or empire in the image of that which came before it - thus, the ancestral political underpinnings. Specifically academic political theorist Roger Griffin refers to fascism as "palingenetic ultranationalism". The best examples of this can be found with both Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany - Italy looking to establish a palingenetic line between the 20th century regime under Benito Mussolini as being the second incarnation of the Roman Empire, while Adolf Hitler's regime was seen as being the third palingenetic incarnation - beginning first with the Holy Roman Empire ("First Reich") then with Bismarck's German Empire ("Second Reich") and then resulting in Nazi Germany ("Third Reich"). All Reich's were also symbolized by the Eagle/Phoenix."(Mayan Palingensis)
The Whore is Back!
2008
From the very beginning of her nomination of Vice President on August 28, 2008, Palin has been gawked over for her sex appeal. She is the prototypical MILF every male would want in office. Shes a political barbie doll (all image, no substance), being prepped by the elite, and by the laws of nature the media released the documents of Palin's 150,000 dollar shopping spree for her image. Hustler even released a XXX Adult film parody "Who's Nailin Paylin" on Nov 4, 2008.
And although Palin was baptized Catholic and became non-denominational she is still a Pentecostal-Evangelical end-timer.
The Holy Roman Catholic Church has also recently been shifting too the rebuilding of the new Babylon with Pope Ratzinger endorsing that Jesus Christ is not needed to reach heaven or god, laying the groundwork for the theological idea of the Anti-Christ.
The Whore of Babylon is the exoteric Holy Roman Empire (Catholic Church) and Sarah is the esoteric embodiment of the archetype.

Revelation 17: The Doom of Babylon
1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters, 2 with whom the kings of the earth committed acts of immorality, and those who dwell on the earth were made drunk with the wine of her immorality.” 3 And he carried me away [a]in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and [b]adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality, 5 and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, “BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. When I saw her, I wondered greatly. 7 And the angel said to me, “Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.
8 “The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come. 9 Here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits, 10 and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while. 11 The beast which was and is not, is himself also an eighth and is one of the seven, and he goes to destruction. 12 The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they receive authority as kings with the beast for one hour. 13 These have one purpose, and they give their power and authority to the beast.

Noting: Manifest Destiny
[This painting (circa 1872) by John Gast called American Progress, is an allegorical representation of Manifest Destiny. Here Columbia, intended as a personification of the United States, leads civilization westward with American settlers, stringing telegraph wire as she travels; she holds a school book. The different economic activities of the pioneers are highlighted and, especially, the changing forms of transportation. The Native Americans and wild animals flee.]
Historian William E. Weeks has noted that three key themes were usually touched upon by advocates of Manifest Destiny:
- the virtue of the American people and their institutions;
- the mission to spread these institutions, thereby redeeming and remaking the world in the image of the U.S.; and
- the destiny under God to accomplish this work
The origin of the first theme, later known as American Exceptionalism, was often traced to America's Puritan heritage, particularly John Winthrop's famous "City upon a Hill" sermon of 1630, in which he called for the establishment of a virtuous community that would be a shining example to the Old World. In his influential 1776 pamphlet Common Sense, Thomas Paine echoed this notion, arguing that the American Revolution provided an opportunity to create a new, better society:
"We have it in our power to begin the world over again. A situation, similar to the present, hath not happened since the days of Noah until now. The birthday of a new world is at hand..."Many Americans agreed with Paine, and came to believe that the United States had embarked upon a special experiment in freedom and democracy—and a rejection of Old World monarchy in favor of republicanism—an innovation of world historical importance. President Abraham Lincoln's description, in his December 1, 1862 message to Congress, of the United States as "the last, best hope of Earth" is a well-known expression of this idea. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, in which he interpreted the Civil War as a struggle to determine if any nation with America's ideals could survive, has been called by historian Robert Johannsen "the most enduring statement of America's Manifest Destiny and mission".
Interlude: V
The major television series V released in 2009-10 mirrored Barak Obama's presidency, even mainstream audience media caught on too the fact.
However it was more about Palin then anyone else.
:Background
Inspired by the Sinclair Lewis novel about fascism in the United States, It Can't Happen Here (1935), director–producer Kenneth Johnson wrote an adaptation titled Storm Warnings, in 1982.
The script was presented to NBC, for production as a television mini-series, but the NBC executives rejected the initial version, claiming it was too "cerebral" for the average American viewer. To make the script more marketable, the American fascists were re-cast as man-eating extraterrestrial serpents, taking the story into the realm of science fiction. The new, re-cast story was the mini-series V, which premiered on May 3, 1983.
Reboot Synopsis:
Giant spaceships appear over 29 major cities throughout the world, and Anna (Great Mother), the beautiful and charismatic leader of the extra-terrestrial "Visitors", claims to come in peace. As a small number of humans begin to doubt the sincerity of the seemingly benevolent Visitors, FBI counter-terrorism agent Erica Evans discovers that the aliens have spent decades infiltrating human governments, businesses, and religious institutions and are now in the final stages of their plan to take over the Earth. Erica joins the resistance movement, which includes Ryan , a Visitor sleeper agent who wants to save humanity.
[Anna = Diana = The Mother; ScarletWhore of Babylon]
Anna, played by Morena Baccarin, is the Supreme Commander of the Visitors, an amalgam of the Diana from the original series. She is intent on maintaining the Visitors' positive public image by any means. Anna appears to be the leader of the Visitor race as a whole (she is referred to by her own people as "the queen").
She maintains control of the Visitors by means of some sort of psychic projection called "bliss", which seems to project the following when needed: a sense of euphoria, a calming effect whenever worry is prevalent and generally seems to keep the Vs in line. Fifth Columnists and other Visitors who exhibit human emotion seem resistant to her Bliss. (WP)

Sarah in 2010 then started working for "Fox" news as a contributor to broaden her range and experience on the national/international stage.
Her first contribution was with Glenn Beck, the cameras were also positioned so Lady Liberty is seen through the windows aligning with Sarah, confirming said themes.
"The words "fox" or "foxy" are also slang in Western societies for an individual (most often female) with sex appeal. The word "vixen", which is normally the common name for a female fox, is also used to describe an attractive woman--although, in the case of humans, "vixen" tends to imply that the woman in question has a few nasty qualities."

The Restoring Honor rally was held on August 28, 2010 at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. and was organized by Glenn Beck to "restore honor in America" and to raise funds for the non-profit Special Operations Warrior Foundation. Billed as a "celebration of America's heroes and heritage," several veterans were honored. Along with Beck, the main speakers included former Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and activist Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr.
Palin told the crowd that calls to transform the country were not enough; "We must restore America and restore her honor." Palin likened the rally participants to the civil rights activists from 1963, and said the same spirit that helped them overcome oppression, discrimination and violence would help this group as well. Palin's lines such as, "Look around you. You're not alone. You are Americans! You have the same steel spine and moral courage of Washington and Lincoln and Martin Luther King. It is in you. It will sustain you as it sustained them," were greeted by the crowd's standing ovations and chants of "U!–S!–A!"

January 8, 2011, Gabrielle Giffords was a victim of a shooting near Tucson, which was reported to be an assassination attempt on her, at a supermarket where she was meeting publicly with constituents. She was critically injured by a gunshot wound to the head; thirteen people were injured and six others were killed in the shooting, among them conservative federal judge John.
:Jarod Loughner
In a MySpace post the morning of the shooting at 4:12 am, he wrote, Goodbye friends. Please don't be mad at me. The literacy rate is below 5%. I haven't talked to one person who is literate. I want to make it out alive. The longest war in the history of the United States. Goodbye. I'm saddened with the current currency and job employment. I had a bully at school. Thank you. P.S. --plead the fifth!Photos on the MySpace page showed a close-up picture of a handgun sitting atop a document titled "United States History."
Following the shooting, there was an outpouring of grief and condemnations from American and international politicians. Attention focused on the harsh political rhetoric in the United States, which some felt contributed to the shooting, including Sarah Palin's use of crosshairs on a map, targeting the districts of Giffords and others. Gun control advocates pushed for increased restrictions on the sale of firearms and ammunition, specifically high-capacity ammunition magazines.

Noting: The Queen of the Night
Whitney Houston for all intent purposes was the "Queen of Singing", as she was dubbed the "Voice".
Her death in 2012 and Michael Jackson in 2009 ends the reign of the 2 biggest and most successful male and female entertaining talents of the 1980's and early 90's (and could be said of the 1900's).
Micheal's death in 2009 (June 25) was a year after the the start of Sunspot Cycle 24 (Jan 4, 2008) and Whitney's death in 2012 (Feb 11) comes within the same year as the Venus Transit (Jun 5, 2012)
Both of these "stars" were also buried in "Promethean" caskets.
[Prometheus is Lucifer, the light giver]
The Bodyguard
Whitney's first and most successful movie and highlight of her career came with The Bodyguard (released on Nov 25, 1992) which in retrospect is very revealing. Whitney for all intent purposes plays herself in the movie as Rachael Marron a Grammy winning movie star whos plotted assassination occurs during the film industries biggest night, the Oscars.
And an ambiguous quote, if there was one came as her manager said in the Bodyguard that "if she stops singing she is dead". Referring to the fact of the over protection and tightened security she received which was stifling her performances in the movie. However in real time Whitney most definitely knew she had lost her voice and would never be the same again.
As Whitney dies alone, the night before the music industries biggest night, the Grammy's. She also died in the afternoon of the pre-grammy party which took place at the same hotel she died in, just a few floors away.

Noting: From the Book of Revelation, 11:19—12:1-18:
11:19 Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant could be seen in the temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder, an earthquake, and a violent hailstorm. 12:1 A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. 2 She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth. 3 Then another sign appeared in the sky; it was a huge red dragon, with seven heads and ten horns, and on its heads were seven diadems. 4 Its tail swept away a third of the stars in the sky and hurled them down to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. 5 She gave birth to a son, a male child, destined to rule all the nations with an iron rod. Her child was caught up to God and his throne. 6 The woman herself fled into the desert where she had a place prepared by God, that there she might be taken care of for twelve hundred and sixty days. 7 Then war broke out in heaven; Michael* and his angels battled against the dragon. The dragon and its angels fought back, 8but they did not prevail and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9The huge dragon, the ancient serpent,* who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it.e 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed. For the accuser of our brothers is cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night. 11 They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; love for life did not deter them from death. 12 Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a short time.
13 When the dragon saw that it had been thrown down to the earth, it pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child. 14 But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she could fly to her place in the desert, where, far from the serpent, she was taken care of for a year, two years, and a half-year. 15 The serpent, however, spewed a torrent of water out of his mouth after the woman to sweep her away with the current. 16 But the earth helped the woman and opened its mouth and swallowed the flood that the dragon spewed out of its mouth. 17 Then the dragon became angry with the woman and went off to wage war against the rest of her offspring, those who keep God’s commandments and bear witness to Jesus. 18 It took its position on the sand of the sea.''[Women clothed in sun, Birthing, Dragons from Sea, etc.]
June 5-6, 2012, The last transit of Venus of the 21st century begins at 22:09 UTC on June 5, and ends at 04:49 UTC on June 6. (BBC)
A transit of Venus across the Sun takes place when the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and Earth, becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus can be seen from Earth as a small black disk moving across the face of the Sun.The last transit of Venus was June 8, 2004. Before 2004, the last pair of transits were in December 1874 and December 1882.After 2012, the next transits of Venus will be in December 2117 and December 2125.

:Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II
Diamond Meaning:
Diamond ("proper", "unalterable", "unbreakable", "untamed","I overpower", "I tame".)
The most familiar use of diamonds today is as gemstones used for adornment, a use which dates back into antiquity.Perhaps the most famous use of the diamond in jewelry is in engagement rings, which became popular in the early to mid 20th century due to an advertising campaign by the De Beers company, though diamond rings have been used to symbolize engagements since at least the 15th century. The diamond's high value has also been the driving force behind dictators and revolutionary entities, especially in Africa, using slave and child labor to mine blood diamonds to fund conflicts.
The dispersion of white light (giving the diamond its characteristic "fire" ) into spectral colors is the primary gemological characteristic of gem diamonds.
A large, flawless diamond is known as a paragon. A paragon is a perfect diamond — flawless and without inclusions. In the 16th century, a weight of 12 carats was sufficient for this title but now, more than 99 carats are needed.One of the largest flawless diamonds in the world is known as The Paragon — a D-class gem weighing 137.82 carats (27.56 g), which is the 10th largest white diamond in the world and was called "The Rainbow Star".
Diamonds
have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in
ancient India.Because of their extraordinary physical properties,
diamonds have been used symbolically since near the time of their first
discovery. Perhaps the earliest symbolic use of diamonds was as the eyes
of Hindu devotional statues. In Hinduism Indra uses Vajrayudham or the
thunderbolt as his primary weapon. Vajra is the word for diamond and
ayudham means weapon in Sanskrit. Another name for it was Agira which
means fire or the sun. In fact there are 14 names counted to be given to
a diamond in traditional Hinduism.
The oldest dated printed book in the world is called the Diamond Sutra, a Chinese text dates from AD 868 and was found in the Mogao Caves. Sutras are most used to describe the teachings of Buddha. In this case the title of the Sutra refers not to the diamond itself but to a 'diamond blade that will cut through worldly illusion to illuminate what is real and everlasting'.
The
diamond is the birthstone for people born in the month of April, and is
also used as the symbol of a sixty-year anniversary, such as a Diamond
Jubilee. In a system of heraldry by gemstone occasionally used in the
past for the arms of nobles, diamond was used to represent the color
sable, or black.
Jubilee Meaning:
The Septuagint rendered the Hebrew yovel as "a trumpet-blast of liberty".Traditionally, it was thought that the English term Jubilee derives from the Hebrew term yobel, which in turn derives from yobhel, meaning ram. the Jubilee year was announced by a blast on an instrument made from a ram's horn called a shofar, during that year's Yom Kippur.An alternative etymology notes that the Latin verb iūbilō, "shout for joy," predates the Vulgate, and proposes that instead the Latin jubilo (meaning shout), as well as Middle Irish ilach (victory cry), New English yowl, and Ancient Greek iuzo (shout), derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *yu- (shout for joy). In this case the Hebrew term for "jubilee" is a borrowing from neighboring Indo-European languages, rather than deriving from another Hebrew word.
Noting:
In Christianity the concept of the Jubilee is a special year of remission of sins and universal pardon. In the Biblical Book of Leviticus, a Jubilee year is mentioned to occur every fifty years, in which slaves and prisoners would be freed, debts would be forgiven and the mercies of God would be particularly manifest. In Christianity, the tradition dates to 1300, when Pope Boniface VIII convoked a holy year, following which ordinary jubilees have generally been celebrated every 25 or 50 years; with extraordinary jubilees in addition depending on need. Christian Jubilees, particularly in the Catholic tradition, generally involve pilgrimage to a sacred site, normally the city of Rome.
:The book of Jubilee
The Book of Jubilees, sometimes called Lesser Genesis, is an ancient Jewish religious work, considered one of the pseudepigrapha by Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox Churches. However, Jubilees is considered canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as well as Jews in Ethiopia, where it is known as the Book of Division.
Jubilees covers much of the same ground as Genesis, but often with additional detail, and addressing Moses in the second person as the entire history of creation, and of Israel up to that point, is recounted in divisions of 49 years each, or "Jubilees". The elapsed time from the creation, up to Moses receiving the scriptures upon Sinai during the Exodus, is calculated as fifty Jubilees, less the 40 years still to be spent wandering in the desert before entering Canaan — or 2,410 years.
Four classes of angels are mentioned: angels of the presence, angels of sanctification, guardian angels over individuals, and angels presiding over the phenomena of nature. Enoch was the first man initiated by the angels in the art of writing, and wrote down, accordingly, all the secrets of astronomy, of chronology, and of the world's epochs. As regards demonology, the writer's position is largely that of the deuterocanonical writings from both New and Old Testament times.
The
Book of Jubilees narrates the genesis of angels on the first day of
Creation and the story of how a group of fallen angels mated with mortal
females, giving rise to a race of giants known as the Nephilim. The
Ethiopian version states that the "angels" were in fact the disobedient
offspring of Seth, while the "mortal females" were daughters of Cain.
This is also the view held by most of the earliest commentators. Their
hybrid children, the Nephilim in existence during the time of Noah,
were wiped out by the great flood. However, Jubilees also states that
God granted ten percent of the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim to
try to lead mankind astray after the flood.
According
to this book, Hebrew is the language of Heaven, and was originally
spoken by all creatures in the Garden, animals and man, however the
animals lost their power of speech when Adam and Eve were expelled.
Some time following the Deluge, the earth is apportioned into three
divisions for the three sons of Noah, and his sixteen grandsons. After
the destruction of the tower of Babel, their families were scattered to
their respective allotments, and Hebrew was forgotten, until Abraham
was taught it by the angels.
Jubilees
also contains a few scattered allusions to the Messianic kingdom. RH
Charles in 1913 wrote: "This kingdom was to be ruled over by a Messiah
sprung, not from Levi — that is, from the Maccabean family — as some of
his contemporaries expected — but from Judah. This kingdom would be
gradually realized on earth, and the transformation of physical nature
would go hand in hand with the ethical transformation of man until there
was a new heaven and a new earth. Thus, finally, all sin and pain
would disappear and men would live to the age of 1,000 years in
happiness and peace, and after death enjoy a blessed immortality in the
spirit world."
February 6, 2012, Queen Elizabeth Celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, marking her Accession to the Throne.
The Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II is a multinational celebration throughout 2012 marking the 60th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom to the thrones of seven countries upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952. She is today queen regnant of 16 sovereign states, 12 of which were British colonies or Dominions at the start of her reign. Queen Victoria in 1897 is the only other monarch in the histories of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a few other Commonwealth realms to have celebrated a Diamond Jubilee.
On Accession Day, 6 February, a 62-gun salute was mounted on the banks of the River Thames, near the Tower of London and the Queen made a visit to Norfolk, one of the first places the monarch visited after acceding to the throne. Later in the month, Queen Elizabeth attended a multi-faith (Bahá'í, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and Zoroastrian) reception held at the residence of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lambeth Palace, in honour of the jubilee.
At noon the Peace Tower carillon played a tribute to the Queen, which included the tunes "O Canada", "Westminster" (for carillon), "Jerusalem", "This Canada of Ours", "Andante" (from Sonata for 47 Bells), and "God Save the Queen".
2012 Diamond Jubilee Events:
The first major event of the jubilee celebrations was the Diamond Jubilee Pageant, also branded The World Comes to Windsor, a cavalcade held at Windsor Castle to celebrate the Queen's visits to and tours of over 250 countries and her passion for horses. The show, which featured 550 horses and 1,100 performers from around the world, was performed on the evenings of May 10, 11, and 13, after the daytime events of the annual Royal Windsor Horse Show had taken place. The Queen attended the final night.

October 28, 2011, Series Premiere of Grimm
The
Brothers Grimm, Jakob Grimm (January 4, 1785 – September 20, 1863) and
Wilhelm Grimm (February 24, 1786 – December 16, 1859), were German
academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors who together
collected folklore. They are among the most well-known storytellers of
European folk tales, and their work popularized such stories as
"Cinderella", "The Frog Prince", "Hansel and Gretel", "Rapunzel",
"Rumpelstiltskin", and "Snow White". Their first collection of folk tales, Children's and Household Tales, was published in 1812.
The
rise of romanticism in the 19th century revived interest in traditional
folk stories, which to the Grimm brothers represented a pure form of
national literature and culture. With the goal of researching a
scholarly treatise on folk tales, the brothers established a methodology
for collecting and recording folk stories that became the basis for
folklore studies. Between 1812 and 1857 their first collection was
revised and published many times, and grew from 86 stories to more than
200. In addition to writing and modifying folk tales, the brothers
wrote collections of well-respected German and Scandinavian mythologies
and in 1808 wrote a definitive German dictionary that remained
incomplete in their lifetime.

Noting: Shard London Bridge
Locating in Southwark, London, standing (1,016 ft) above ground level, it is the tallest
building in Europe as of July 2012. The Shard was designed with an
irregular pyramidal shape from the base to the top, and is clad
entirely in glass. Its structure was completed in April 2012, and it
opened to the public on 5 July 2012.
The architect spoke of his contempt for tall buildings during the meal, before flipping over the restaurant’s menu and sketching an iceberg-like sculpture emerging from the River Thames. He was inspired by the railway lines next to the site, the London spires depicted by the Venetian painter Canaletto, and the masts of sailing ships.
Renzo Piano, the project's architect, compared his design to "a shard of glass". He considered the slender, spire-like form of the tower a positive addition to the London skyline, recalling the church steeples featured in historic engravings of the city, and believed that its presence would be far more delicate than opponents of the project alleged. He proposed a sophisticated use of glazing, with expressive façades of angled glass panes intended to reflect sunlight and the sky above, so that the appearance of the building will change according to the weather and seasons. The building features 11,000 panes of glass.

January 14, 2012, The cruise ship Costa Concordia runs aground at the Isola del Giglio in the Mediterranean Sea with 3 deaths and 14 other casualties confirmed. (Sky)
At about 9:45 pm, in calm seas and overcast weather, under command of Captain Francesco Schettino, Costa Concordia struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the eastern shore of Isola del Giglio, off the western coast of Italy about 100 km northwest of Rome. This tore a 50 m gash on the port (left) side of her hull, which almost immediately flooded parts of the engine room and caused loss of power to her propulsion and electrical systems. With water flooding in and listing, the ship drifted back to Giglio Island, where she grounded just 500 m north of the village of Giglio Porto, lying on her starboard (right) side in shallow water with most of her starboard side under water. Despite the gradual sinking of the ship, its complete loss of power, and its proximity to shore in calm seas, an order to abandon ship was not issued until over an hour after the initial impact. Although international maritime law requires all passengers to be evacuated within 30 minutes of an order to abandon ship, the evacuation of Costa Concordia took over six hours and not all passengers were evacuated. Of the 3,229 passengers and 1,023 crew known to have been aboard, two are missing and 32 are confirmed dead.
Media Coverage of the shipwreck dominated international media in the days after the disaster. The New York Times called the incident "a drama that seemed to blend tragedy with elements of farce".Phillip Knightley called it the "most significant event in modern maritime history" because "every single safety procedure designed to make sea travel safe failed miserably".Francesco Schettino was dubbed "Captain Coward" by the "Daily Mail" in the UK. UK's Channel 4 television commissioned and broadcast two programmes about the disaster. Terror at Sea: The Sinking of the Costa Concordia, broadcast on 31 January 2012, explored how and why the ship went down. The Sinking of the Concordia: Caught on Camera, broadcast on 11 April 2012, provided a minute-by-minute anatomy of the Costa Concordia disaster, made almost entirely from passengers' mobile phone and video camera footage.Another, first broadcast on the Discovery Channel was titled "Cruise Ship Disaster: Inside The Concordia". Following a competitive tender, in May 2012 it was announced that "Titan Salvage" (See Below) had won the salvage contract, partnered by Italian firm Micoperi. Their plan, expected to cost $300m and therefore expected to be the most expensive salvage ever.
Several
media outlets have compared the ship to the Titanic. Survivor
Valentina Capuano is a granddaughter of a woman who survived the
Titanic tragedy 100 years earlier. Capuano said she was "dumbstruck"
that history seemed to be repeating itself. Some passengers said that
the Titanic theme "My Heart Will Go On" performed by Céline Dion,
was playing in a restaurant when the ship hit the rock. Several media
commentators contrasted the "women and children first" attitude
generally prevailing on the RMS Titanic to the "first come, first
served" attitude said to be more prevalent on the Costa Concordia
though no law requires preferential treatment of women and children
when evacuating a ship in distress.

In 2008 and 2010, respectively, Costa Concordia and Costa Europa crashed during docking, the latter incident killing three crew and injuring four passengers. Costa blamed weather conditions. In 2009, the Costa Romantica suffered a fire in the generator room, which led to the ship being evacuated of 1,429 passengers. In 2010, Costa Classica struck a cargo vessel (due to power failure, according to Costa), injuring three people.

And with ships in the sea being a major theme in 2012, so was were the ships that go into space. As above, So below.
:Space Shuttle Enterprise
Enterprise highlighted in the headlines flys by all the New York monuments then takes to the sea on a barge for a trip on the Hudson past the Statue of Liberty to its new home at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space (The Ship/Vessel) Museum, the day of the River Thames Pagent.
The Space Shuttle Enterprise was the first Space Shuttle orbiter. Designated OV-101, it was originally planned to be named Constitution and unveiled on Constitution Day, September 17, 1976. A letter-writing campaign by Trekkies to President Gerald Ford asked that the orbiter be named after the Starship Enterprise, featured on the television show Star Trek. Although Ford did not mention the campaign, the president, saying he was "partial to the name" Enterprise, directed NASA officials to change the name.
On
September 17, 1976, Enterprise was rolled out of Rockwell's plant at
Palmdale, California. In recognition of its fictional namesake, Star
Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and most of the principal cast of the
original series of Star Trek was on hand at the dedication ceremony.
On
December 12, 2011, ownership of the Enterprise was officially
transferred to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City.
April 27, 2012, At approximately 9:40 AM Enterprise took off from Dulles International Airport en-route to a fly-by over the Hudson River, New York's JFK International Airport, the Statue of Liberty, the George Washington and Verrazano-Narrows Bridges, and several other landmarks in the city; in an approximately 45-minute "final tour". At 11:23 AM Eastern Daylight Time Enterprise touched down at JFK International Airport.
June 3, 2012, A weeks Marine barge took Enterprise to Jersey City. The Shuttle sustained cosmetic damage to a wingtip when a gust of wind blew the barge towards a piling.

:VSS Enterprise
The VSS Enterprise is the first of five commercial suborbital spacecraft being constructed for Virgin Galactic by Scaled Composites. It will also be the first ship of the Model 339 SpaceShipTwo class, based on upscaling the design of record-breaking SpaceShipOne. The VSS Enterprise's name is an acknowledgement of the USS Enterprise from the Star Trek television series. Entrepreneur Richard Branson, head of Virgin Galactic, offered William Shatner, the actor who portrayed Captain Kirk in the original Star Trek series, a free ride into space on the inaugural space launch of the VSS Enterprise, with a retail value of $200,000. However, Shatner turned it down, and said, "I do want to go up but I need guarantees I'll definitely come back."
On October 10, 2010 Enterprise completed its first successful free flight. The ship glided for 25 minutes from its mothership at 45,000 feet to the Mojave Spaceport

:USS Enterprise
March 10, 2012,
USS Enterprise (CVN-65), is the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the eighth United States naval vessel to bear the name. Like her predecessor of World War II fame, she is nicknamed the "Big E". The only ship of her class, Enterprise is the second oldest commissioned vessel in the United States Navy, after the wooden-hulled, three-masted frigate USS Constitution. She was originally scheduled for decommissioning in 2014 or 2015, depending on the life of her reactors and completion of her replacement, USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78). But the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 slated the ship's retirement for 2013, when she will have served for 51 consecutive years, longer than any other U.S. aircraft carrier.
As of September 2010, Enterprise's home port is at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Her final deployment was on 11 March 2012, which is to be the last before her decommissioning. The Enterprise is scheduled to be deactivated on 1 December 2012.

The show is about the renegade crew of a United States Navy Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine, the fictional USS Colorado, that defies an order to launch nuclear missiles towards Pakistan, a decision that cost the previous commanding officer his job when he refused to follow similar orders without an explanation or confirmation. When his replacement also questions the same orders, the vessel is fired upon without warning and the crew are left for dead. Realizing that they have been declared enemies of their own country, they set up camp on the fictional island of Sainte Marina, and declare themselves a sovereign nation with nuclear capability. At the same time, the crew must find a way to prove their innocence, find out who set them up, and hopefully return home.

:Vessel Prometheus
Plot: A spacecraft arrives on Earth in the distant past. A humanoid alien drinks a dark liquid. Its body disintegrates and falls into a waterfall, seeding Earth with its DNA. In 2089, archaeologist couple Elizabeth Shaw and Charlie Holloway discover a star map among several unconnected ancient cultures. They interpret this as an invitation from humanity's forerunners, the "Engineers". Peter Weyland, the elderly founder of the Weyland Corporation, funds the creation of the scientific vessel Prometheus to follow the map to the distant moon LV-223.
The ship's crew travels in stasis while the android David monitors their voyage. In 2093, the ship arrives, and its crew are informed of their mission to find the Engineers. Mission director Meredith Vickers orders them to avoid direct contact if the Engineers are found. The Prometheus lands near a structure and a team is sent to explore within. Inside they find several stone vessels, a monolithic statue of a humanoid head, and the corpse of a giant alien, thought to be one of the Engineers. Other bodies are later found, and the species is presumed to be extinct. David secretly takes a stone vessel, while the remaining begin leaking dark liquid. A rapidly approaching storm forces the crew to return to Prometheus, leaving crew members Milburn and Fifield stranded in the structure. In the ship, the Engineer's DNA is analyzed and found to match that of humans. Meanwhile, David investigates the vessel and discovers a dark liquid. He intentionally infects Holloway with the substance.
Later, Shaw and the infected Holloway have sex. Inside the structure, Fifield and Milburn are attacked by snake-like creatures. Milburn is killed, and corrosive fluid from one of the creatures melts Fifield's helmet, exposing him to the leaking dark liquid. The crew returns to the structure and finds Milburn's corpse. David discovers a room containing an Engineer in stasis and a star map highlighting Earth. Holloway's infection rapidly ravages his body, and he is rushed back to Prometheus. Vickers refuses to let him aboard, and immolates him at his own request. A medical scan reveals that Shaw, despite being sterile, is pregnant with an alien offspring. Shaw uses an automated surgery table to cut the alien offspring from her abdomen.
Weyland is found to have been in stasis aboard Prometheus, and he explains to Shaw that he intends to ask the Engineers to prevent his death from old age. A mutated Fifield attacks the hangar bay and kills several crew members before being killed himself. Janek theorizes that the structure was part of an Engineer military base that lost control of its biological weapon, the dark liquid. Weyland and a team returns to the structure and awaken the Engineer, who is discovered to be the pilot of an Engineer spaceship. David speaks to the Engineer, who responds by decapitating him and killing Weyland and others. Shaw escapes the Engineer spaceship as it is activated by the Engineer. The still-active David reveals it is going to release the liquid on Earth. Shaw convinces Janek to stop the Engineer spaceship - he crashes Prometheus into it while Vickers ejects from the ship.
The disabled Engineer spaceship crashes onto the planet, killing Vickers. Shaw goes to Vickers' lifeboat and finds the alien offspring which has grown to gigantic size. The Engineer survives the crash and attacks Shaw, who releases the alien offspring. It thrusts a tentacle down the Engineer's throat, subduing it. Shaw recovers David's head, and with his help she launches another Engineer spaceship to travel to the Engineers' homeworld in an attempt to understand why they created humanity and later attempted to destroy it. In the lifeboat, an alien creature with jet-black skin and an elongated skull bursts out of the dying Engineer's chest.
To mark the anniversary of the Queen's accession, the lighting on 4 June of thousands of beacons across the Commonwealth is planned. The number of beacons was originally set at 2,012; by the closing date for registrations, approximately 4,000 had been submitted in the United Kingdom alone.
June 4, 2012, Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II
The first will be lit in Tonga; other nations including Kenya, Australia, New Zealand,India, Sri Lanka, and several Caribbean states will also take part in the beacon lighting. In the United Kingdom, British servicemen and women wounded in battle and individuals representing charities will carry beacons to the summits of the UK's four highest peaks.
One will be lit at Treetops Hotel in Aberdare National Park in Kenya, where the Queen was at the moment of her accession to the throne. The Queen will light the beacon outside Buckingham Palace at 10:30 pm, by inserting a large, specially made, diamond-cut crystal into a receptacle. The lighting sequence will then proceed until the final beacon is lit in Canada eight hours later.
