Can someone please translate this 2 minute spanish video to english?
URL is as follows-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/mundo/noticias/2011/04/110414_concreto_ecologico.shtml
I need a detailed translation of this video please. Thank You Very Much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is the exact translation word for word :
There is a very simple reason why in the cities we live in a jungle of concrete. Commercially there is no substitute for this material, easy to work with water, sand and cement. It is estimated that each year 30,000 million of tons of concrete are produced worldwide, but the environmental impact is very high.
Approximately every ton of cement produced in a year emits one ton of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. The cement production is responsible for up to five to ten percent of CO2 emissions worldwide.
Scientists and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, worked for years to get a cleaner concrete , but it was necessary to understand first its molecular structure, which could not be reached for decades, even with electron microscope.
For three years, experts refined mathematical models and finally in 2009 managed to decipher something like the DNA of the concrete.
The next step was to create a test center that tested the millions of combinations of atoms to produce a greener, harder and stronger concrete.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology invented a new formula but now it is industry that will test the material for five years before commercial-scale use.
We hope that these findings are used in industry around the world to produce concrete structures more robust and more durable.
Traditional concrete has a lifespan of 100 years, the new material can last up to 20,000 years according to experts . Aesthetically it may not please many such a durable material. With changing styles of architecture , the facades are likely to remain traditional concrete made , and the new material will be reserved for internal structures of buildings.

Mediterraneo $8.79 “The music on this recording reflects my character. It tells the listener who I am,” says 28-year-old guitarist Milos KaradagliÄ.

The BBC Sessions $20.39 2007 two CD collection of BBC Sessions from the Scottish rockers led by former Altered Images/Hipsway bassist Johnny McElhone and the charismatic and captivating Sharleen Spiteri. This wonderful collection features 25 of the bands’ In Session recordings made for the BBC at Maida Vale studios during the promotional tours for some their chart topping albums, where the `under-the-gun’ pressure of having to re-record songs in single takes creates fantastic alternate versions of some of their biggest and best tracks; a stunning, stripped down ‘Say What You Want’, a fabulous early take on ‘Black Eyed Boy’ and a cover of The Beatles’ ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ which was only ever recorded for the BBC alongside `In Session’ versions of tracks such as ‘Tired Of Being Alone’, ‘Halo’, ‘In Our Lifetime’ and ‘Carnival Girl’. It’s a wonderful companion to their Greatest Hits. Universal. |

Argentine Football (Soccer) Rivalries: Supercl sico $9.91 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Superclásico is the name used to describe the football match in Argentina between Buenos Aires rivals Boca Juniors and River Plate. It derives from the Spanish usage of “clásico” to mean derby, with the prefix “super” used as the two clubs are the most popular and successful clubs in Argentine football. According to some statistics, commandeering more than 70% of all Argentine football fans between them, with Boca claiming 40% and River 32%. The Superclásico is known worldwide as one of the fiercest and most important derbies. In April 2004, the English newspaper The Observer put the Superclásico at the top of their list of “50 sporting things you must do before you die”, saying that “Derby day in Buenos Aires makes the Old Firm game look like a primary school kick-about.” The two clubs both have origins in La Boca, the working class dockland area of Buenos Aires, with River being founded in 1901 and Boca in 1905. However, River moved to the affluent district of Núñez in the north of the city in 1925. Since then Boca Juniors has been known as the club of Argentina’s working class or the people’s club, with many Boca fans coming from the local Italian immigrant community. Boca fans are actually known as Xeneizes (Genoese). By contrast, River Plate became known by the nickname, Los Millonarios (The Millionaires), with a supposedly upper-class support base. Both clubs do though have supporters from all social classes. The first ever recorded Superclásico was a friendly played on 2 August 1908, when Boca prevailed 2-1. The first official match was played on 24 August 1913, with River winning 2-1. The Superclásico is particularly noted for the passion of the fans, with what the BBC describe as “a sea of colourful flowing |

Around the World with Willy Fog $64.99 Around the World with Willy Fog is a cartoon adaptation of Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, produced by Spanish studio BRB Internacional, with animation by Japanese studio Nippon Animation. In the same vein as BRB’s Dogtanian and the Three Muskehounds, the characters are anthropomorphisms of various animals; the species depicted are of much greater variety than in that series, but the core trio are all felines, being pursued by three canine foes. Willy Fog (Phileas Fogg in the original book) himself is depicted as a lion, while Rigodon (Passepartout) is a lynx and Romy (Aouda) a panther. An English dub of the series, directed by Tom Wyner and featuring artists such as Cam Clarke, Greg Snegoff, Steve Kramer and Mike Reynolds was recorded by Intersound Inc in Hollywood, but despite this, the series never achieved popularity in the United States. This English version instead found fame when it was broadcast on Children’s BBC in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, while other dubs gained the series fanbases in Israel, Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Austria and South Africa. |

Boundaries Of Exile, Conditions Of Hope $1.99 Courses in Exile Writing and Exile Literature have become commonplace, for the world is well aware of the ever-present advent of this condition. While the names of the experience change, the essence of the condition remains.Boundaries of Exile, Conditions of Hope presents the fiction, poems and essays of Albert Russo and Martin Tucker in its treatment of the substantial, though more elusive, feelings of inner exile. It deals with the forced exits and observable impacts of physical exile on the writers who have endured such experiences, but it concentrates on the conditions of inner exile. Such conditions stem, of course, from outer/physical/ political/social causes, but the psychic condition of loss and the awareness of, and triumph over, loss is what matters in the content and context of this book.Exile once experienced is not a transient affair but a constant vessel in the stream of the heart. Identity after exile is never the same as identity prior to its arrival.About the Authors:Albert Russo, who has published worldwide over 65 books of poetry, fiction and photography, in English and in French, his two mother-tongues, is the recipient of many awards, such as The American Society of Writers Fiction Award, The British Diversity Short Story Award, several New York Poetry Forum Awards, Amelia Prose and Poetry awards and the Prix Colette, among others. His work has been translated into a dozen languages, including German, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Turkish, Bengali and Polish, and broadcast by the World Service of the BBC, publishing on the five continents, in 22 countries. He has also garnered several prizes for his photography books, Indie Excellence awards, among others. He’s been a member of the jury of the Prix Européen for over 25 years (sitting on the panel with Ionesco until his death) and sat in 1996 on the panel of the prestigious Neustadt Prize for Literature, which often leads to the Nobel PrizeMartin Tucker is the editor of |

Chapters: Repo Man, Sid and Nancy, Walker, Straight to Hell, Revengers Tragedy, Death and the Compass, El Patrullero, Sleep Is for Sissies, Three Businessmen, the Winner, I’m a Juvenile Delinquent – Jail Me!. Excerpt: Death and the Compass Death and the Compass is British director Alex Cox ‘s second Mexican feature (the first was El Patrullero ), made in 1996. Based on the short story Death and the Compass ( La Muerte y La Brújula ) by Jorge Luis Borges , the film is in English, and stars Peter Boyle as Erik Lönnrot the detective, Miguel Sandoval as Treviranus, his boss, and Christopher Eccleston as Red Scharlach/Zunz. Mexican actress Zaide Silvia Gutiérrez appears as Ms Espinosa/Harlequin. The crew is the same as that of El Patrullero ; the designer is Cecilia Montiel , the cameraman Miguel Garzon, the editor Carlos Puente. Stylistically it is quite different. The colours are impossibly bright, the locations monumental and exaggerated (particularly the police station a maze of corridors built in Mexico City ‘s main post office and the Convento de San Ildefonso, where Lonnrot meets his end). Death and the Compass was originally a 55-minute drama made for Spanish TV/BBC in 1992, the quintocentenary year of the Spanish conquest of what is today Latin America. The producer, Karl Braun, found further money from Japan to expand the film into a feature, but the film was not completed until four years after it was shot. The synthetic 80′s “period” soundtrack was composed by Dan Wool and Pray for Rain ]. The making of the soundtrack is discussed thoroughly in a conversation between Cox and Wool on the DVD release.

For the lyrics, Lemmy said he “used gambling metaphors, mostly cards and dice – when it comes to that sort of thing, I’m more into the one-arm bandits actually, but you can’t really sing about spinning fruit, and the wheels coming down”. On 6 September 1980 Lemmy was interviewed by Graham Neil on BBC Radio 1′s Rock On Saturday show, “Bomber”, “Ace of Spades” and “Love Me Like a Reptile” were played. The following month, on 6 October and 20 October, the band played the song on BBC TV show Top of the Pops. The song is considered to be the definitive Motörhead anthem, and “put a choke on the English music charts and proved to all that a band could succeed without sacrificing its blunt power and speed”.

Spanish Non-Fiction Writers: Jason Webster, Jose Perez Adan, Paco Vidarte, Jes s Bl zquez, Guillem Balagu , Jordi Cam $8.78 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Jason Webster is an Anglo-American travel writer, critic and author, the main focus of whose work is devoted to Spain. He was born in California in 1970. Webster was educated in England, Egypt and Italy. In 1993 he graduated from Oxford University (St John’s College) with a degree in Arabic and Islamic History. His best-selling first book, Duende A Journey in Search of Flamenco, which told the story of his quest to learn flamenco guitar, was long-listed for the Guardian First Book Award and has been translated into twelve different languages. It was selected to be read on BBC Radio 4′s Book of the Week. The Guardian described Duende as “a great book” and Webster as “an exceptional writer”. The factual accuracy of the book was questioned by a 2004 article in The Independent citing allegations that it did not recount the experiences of its author, but those of a guitar tutor in Oxford with whom Webster was said to have begun his Flamenco studies in 1998. Webster strongly denied the allegations, describing the book as “essentially true”. Webster’s second book, Andalus Unlocking the Secrets of Moorish Spain, examined the deep impact left on Spain and by extension the rest of Europe by the Moorish presence and was adapted as a radio play by the BBC. His third book, ¡Guerra! Living in the Shadows of the Spanish Civil War, looks at the wounds left by the civil war on contemporary Spain. The Times described it as reading like “a political thriller”, concluding that Webster “writes staggeringly well”. In February 2009, Webster’s critically acclaimed fourth book, Sacred Sierra – A Year on a Spanish Mountain was published in the UK by Chatto and Windus, an imprint of Random House. The book describes a year that Webster and his Spanish wife spent living… More: |

Depending on who is using it, the catchment area for the term “Geordie” can be as large as the whole of north east England, or as small as the city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Sunderland, however, uses the regional nickname “Mackem” as opposed to Geordie. Similarly, people from the Teesside area (including Middlesbrough, Stockton-on-Tees, Redcar, Billingham, and surrounding settlements) are known as “Teessiders”, or through derision as “Smoggies”. In most aspects Geordie speech is a direct continuation and development of the lan… More: |

Unification Church Neologisms: Moonie, Indemnity, Love Bombing $9.05 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Moonie (plural Moonies) is a term which refers to members of the Unification Church; it is derived from the name of church founder Sun Myung Moon. Some dictionaries call it offensive or derogatory; others do not. It has been used by critics of the church since the 1970s. Church members have used the term, including Sun Myung Moon, President of the Unification Theological Seminary David Kim, and Moon’s aide Bo Hi Pak. Members of the Unification Church have stated that they currently prefer the term “Unificationists”. It has seen usage in languages including English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, and according to Religion and Politics In America Unification Church followers are “universally known, often derisively” by the term. The word Moonie was coined in 1974 by the American media, when the Unification Church held a campaign at Madison Square Garden in New York City. During the Sun Myung Moon tax fraud and conspiracy case in 1982, the prosecution argued that the term be banned during jury selection; the court denied the request and ruled that the term was appropriately “descriptive”. In the 1980s the church hired civil rights activist Ralph Abernathy to equate the term with the word “Nigger”. Members protested outside of the Chicago Tribune and The Washington Post after the newspapers ran articles using the term. In 2004, the UPI Stylebook and Guide To Newswriting (written by Unification Church-owned news agency United Press International) advised news outlets not to use the term to refer to members of the Unification Church. In 2005, the Unification Church lodged a formal complaint with Ofcom, a body that supervises communication industries in the United Kingdom, after a BBC documentary about Sun Myung Moon used the term.
