The asphalt sank

This was a dramatic scene last week at Progress street in Banyoles. One car had an accident when the asphalt sank.
The incident began at twelve o'clock. There was a big sound while the driver was driving the car.
At first the driver was very scared. The man was screaming. Then firemen arrived, and, as the rescue started, the driver became calmer.
After three hours, the man who was driving the car was final on the ground again. Later, the man said, "It was the most experience of my life".

Surfing kings
For most people, however, Hawaii has and always will be the surfers' island. Like the aula, the ancident Polynesian sport of surfing was banned on Hawaii by Christian missionaries, only to return to prominence thanks to Duke kahanamoku, a hawaiian swimmer who won gold at the 1992 Olympics. Today, his flower-covered statue dominates Waikiki beach, where surfers come from all over the world to test their skills against the legendary waves. And when night falls, the fires are lit on the beach as the surfer dudes and their followers improvise their own version of another Hawaiian tradition that has become big business - the lulau, or party.

Barack Obama

Barack Obama has won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize. I think that he won the title because he was a charismatic person. But I don't like that he have won the title.

The Magazine: The Origins of American Music

DETROIT

Soul music is simply gospel without God. So it's not surprising that all the great soul stars of 1960s began as gospel singers.Many would argue, with justification, that the greatest soul music came out of Memphis and Philadelphia, but there is no doubt that the most succeful version of the sound came from Detroit, home of Berry Gordy's Motown Records.

The Motown Machine
Motown is short for "Motor Town", a reference to Detroit as the home of the US car industry. Indeed, the assembly line production method was a central inspiration for Gordy's approach to recording. Initially, Motown singers were treated as elements in a Machine rather than artists. To make black soul music acceptable to withe audiences, the emotion(the sould in effect) was removed, replaced by a dance beat that was impossible not to like. Gordy, meanwile, was dictatorial with his singers, controling every aspect of their careers.
But wile the singers were modelled into stars, the group of musicians that played with them did not get the recognition for their work that they marited. If they had, they would have had more number one hits than the Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley and the Beatles combined. Ultimatley, Gordy could not maintain his dictatorial control and the most talented artists, including Marvin Gaye and Michel Jackson, began the develop in their own styles.
