Jan. 17, 1995 Hyogo-Ken Nanbu Earthquake

Kobe Earthquake in Japan

The worst earthquake catastrophe in years occurred on western Honshu Island early this year. More than 5000 people perished in southern Hyogo prefecture, most in the city of Kobe, Japan's most important port. The loss of so many lives, in a country where so much effort had been made to prepare for earthquakes, shocked observers worldwide. However, the magnitude of this catastrophe is probably due to a terrible coincidence of a few simple seismological and societal factors, which may become clear in the photos below.

GoldenEye, released in 1995, is the 17th spy film of the British James Bond series and the first to star Pierce Brosnan as the fictional MI6 agent James Bond. Unlike previous James Bond films, it was not related to the works of novelist Ian Fleming,[1] although the name "GoldenEye" was taken from his estate in Jamaica. The original story was conceived and written by Michael France, with later collaboration by several other writers, and was directed by Martin Campbell. In the film, Bond fights to prevent an arms syndicate from using the GoldenEye satellite weapon against London in order to cause a global financial meltdown.

GoldenEye was released in 1995 after legal disputes forced a six-year hiatus in the series, during which Timothy Dalton abdicated from the role of James Bond and was replaced by Pierce Brosnan. M was also recast, with actress Judi Dench becoming the first female to portray the character. GoldenEye was the first Bond film made after the downfall of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, which provided a background for the plot.

The film was lauded by most critics and performed well at the box office, considerably better than Dalton's films.[2] Some critics viewed the film as a modernisation of the series, and felt Brosnan was a definite improvement over his predecessor.[3][4][5] It also received two BAFTA nominations – "Best Achievement in Special Effects" and "Best Sound".[6]
