I’ve
got to go home
I’ve
been so alone you see
You
just can’t believe
The
joy I did receive
When
I finally got my leave
And
I was going home
Oh,
I flew through the sky
My
convictions could not lie
For
my country I would die
And
I will see it soon
When
I walked through the door
My
wife she laid upon the floor
And
with tears her eyes were sore
I
did not know why
Then
I looked into her hand
And
I saw the telegram
Said
that I was a brave, brave man
But
that I was dead

First,
let me tell you where I’m coming from. Before I saw “The Lord of the Rings: The
Fellowship of the Ring”, I didn´t know the difference between an orc and an
elf, or what Middle-earth was in the middle of. This review is coming to you
from a Tolkien-freezone. I went into Peter Jackson’s movie – the first
of a trilogy – with no preconceptions. I came out, three hours later,
sorry I’d have to wait a year to see what happens next in Frodo Baggins’s
battle against the Dark Lord, Sauron, and thinking a trip to the bookstore to
pick “The Two Towers” might be in order. (…)
This is a violent movie – too
violent for little ones – and there are moments more “Matrix than medieval. Yet
it transcends cheap thrills; we root for the survival of our heroes with depth of
feeling that may come to a surprise. The movie keeps drawing you in deeper.
Unlike so man overcooked action movies these days, “Fellowship” doesn’t
entertain you into a stupor. It leaves you with your wits intact, hungry for
more.

Louise
Kennedy is an Irish veterinarian with degrees in history and politics – both
obtained in English. She is married to an Australian and has been working in
Australia as an equine vet on a skilled worker visa for the past two years. As
a native English speaker, she has
excellent grammar and a broad vocabulary, but has been unable to convince a
machine she can speak English well enough to stay in Australia.
But
she is now scrambling for other visa options after a computer-based English
test – scored by a machine – essentially handed
her a fail in terms of convincing immigration officers she can fluently speak
her own language.
Earlier
this year, Kennedy decided
she would seek permanent residency in Australia. She knew she would have to sit a mandatory English proficiency
test but was shocked when she got
the results. While she passed all other components of the test including
writing and reading, (...). She got 74 when the government requires 79.
“There’s obviously a flaw in their computer software, when a person with
perfect oral fluency cannot get enough points,” she said.
The
test providers have categorically denied there is anything wrong with its
computer-based test or the scoring engine trained to analyse candidates’
responses. “We do not offer a pass or a fail, simply a score and the
immigration department set the bar very high for people seeking permanent
residency”, they say.
Kennedy,
who is due to have a baby in October, says she will now have to pursue a
bridging visa, while she seeks a more expensive spouse visa so she can remain
with her Australian husband.

The photography exercise book by Bert Krages
Training your eye to shoot like a pro
A while ago I was
asked if I’d like to have a look at Bert Krages’ book. My initial thought was
that it would pretty much be a list of ‘try this’ exercises. Well in a way it
is, in that you really need to go out and try the exercises, not just read
about them. In much the same way that my piano playing won’t improve by just
buying more books about playing the piano…
Try the technical
exercises – a desk lamp and an egg really can teach you an enormous amount
about the realities of lighting, shadows and reflected light. I’ve been a pro
photographer since 2004 and taking the time to do some of the exercises has
been of real benefit.
A well-written
book that is packed with useful images to illustrate the matters at hand. It’s
nice to see the author didn’t fall into the trap of only including ‘perfect’
photos – you will look at some and think ‘I could do better than that’ – good!
It’s a book for people who want to take more photos and increase their satisfaction from doing so. Definitely one to try if you feel you’re perhaps clinging to some of the technical aspects of photography as a bit of a safety blanket, to avoid the fluffy artsy stuff.

28. (Uerj 2014) Wiser and 4older
Sometimes the world of science and medicine produces something that can only be described as 1unalloyed good news. We are used to stories about pollution scares and increases in the rates of cancer, but bubbling beneath is the stark reality that we live at a time when humans are healthier and 5live longer than at any time in our history.
The Office for National Statistics figures, recently released, make heartening if surprising reading. They show that 2most men are surviving until the age of 85, while women are living four years longer. Furthermore, we can expect these figures to increase as the century progresses. What’s driving this extraordinary increase in human 6longevity?
The increase has been driven by a number of advances. Firstly, the huge reduction in neonatal and infant deaths. These days, nearly all babies born in a prosperous advanced nation can expect to survive into adulthood. Over half the couples in the world are having fewer than two children each. This is partly because almost everywhere infant mortality is falling, globally faster today than at any time in human history.
Sanitation, vaccination and better diets have increased lifespans once we survive infancy, but they cannot wholly explain why people are living into their eighties and beyond. A cut in physical stress and a huge reduction in exposure to toxic and carcinogenic substances in the environment may explain much of the increase. In the 1950s, thousands died or became very ill during the London smogs. That threat, along with numerous other environmental containments, has gone. We have also begun to stop smoking and we are drinking less, too.
Finally, life is much safer than it used to be. As psychologist Steven Pinker shows in his book, The better angels of our nature, the history of all societies has shown an amazing decline in violence over the past century. We are ten times less likely to be murdered today than we were two hundred years ago, and three times less likely to be killed on the roads than we were in the 1960s.
So, can the increase in longevity continue? According to gerontologists, there is no clear answer. Currently the maximum human lifespan is 122 years, attained by the French woman Jeanne Calment who died in 1997. Significantly, no one has come close to her astonishing record. Instead, more and more of us are dodging the bullets of middle age and living to our personal genetic potential. So how long is the natural human lifespan? The answer seems to be that, in a world where infectious diseases are kept at bay and where we are safe from predators and starvation, and provided we keep our lifestyles in check, 3most people should reach 80 or 90.
Something very big is going on, wrote Ban Ki-moon,
the United Nations secretary general. He warned that “the social and economic
implications of this phenomenon are profound, extending far beyond the
individual 7older person and the immediate family, touching
broader society and the global community in unprecedented ways”. What the
figures show more than anything is that we need a rapid and radical rethink of
how we treat 8the elderly among us, as they will soon be the
majority.

Archaeologists use drones to study Peru's ruins
To get a bird's-eye view of ancient sites, archaeologists often turn to planes, helicopters and even hot air balloons. But today researchers have access to more agile and less expensive technology to map, explore and protect archaeological treasures: tiny airborne drones.
In Peru – the home of Machu Picchu and other amazing ruins – the government is planning to purchase several drones to 5quickly and cheaply conduct archaeological surveys in areas targeted for building or development, according to Reuters.
Archaeologists working in the country have already been using small flying robots to study 4ancient sites, including the colonial Andean town Machu Llacta, and the San José de Moro burial grounds, which contain the tombs of Moche priestesses. Some researchers have even built their own drones for less than $ 2,000, Reuters reported.
"It's like having a scalpel instead of a club," Jeffrey Quilter, an archaeologist at Harvard University, told the news agency. "You can control it to a very fine degree. You can go up 3 meters and photograph a room, 300 meters and photograph a 3site, or you can go up 3,000 meters and photograph the entire valley."
6Cheap and effective drones could be a boon for Peru's culture ministry, which has a modest budget and is tasked with protecting more than 13,000 archaeological sites that are threatened by looters, squatters and illegal mining, according to Reuters.
Elsewhere robots have 1enabled
archaeological discovery. A remote-controlled robot the size of a 2lawn
mower recently found burial chambers inside the Temple of the Feathered
Serpent, an ancient pyramid in Mexico. And in Russia, researchers used a
miniature airborne drone to capture images that could be used to create a 3-D
model of an ancient burial mound.

30. (Uemg 2014) The Man Who Sold the Eiffel Tower
Paris, 1925. World War I had finished and the city was full of people with cash looking for business opportunities. Victor Lustig was reading the newspaper one day and found an article about the Eiffel Tower. It said the tower was being neglected because it was too expensive to maintain. Lustig a great ‘business opportunity’ – he would sell the Eiffel Tower!
Lustig wrote to six important businessmen in the city and invited them to a secret meeting in a well-known Paris hotel. He said he was a government official and he told them that he wanted to talk about a business deal. All six of the businessmen came to the meeting.
At the meeting, Lustig told them that the city wanted to sell the Eiffel Tower for scrap metal and that he had been asked to find a buyer. He said that the deal was secret because it would not be popular with the public. The businessmen believed him, perhaps the Eiffel Tower was never planned to be permanent. It had been built as part of the 1889 Paris Expo, and the original plan had been to remove it in 1909.
Lustig rented a limousine and took the men to visit
the tower. After the tour, he said that if they were interested, they should
contact him the next day. Lustig told them he would give the tower contract to
the person with the highest offer. One of the dealers, Andre Poisson, was very
interested, but he was also worried. Why was Lustig in such a hurry?
The two men had a meeting, and Lustig confessed that he wasn’t looking for the highest offer. He said he would give the contract to anybody – for a price. Poisson understood: Lustig wanted a little extra money “under the table” for himself. This was Lustig’s cleverest lie, because now Poisson believed him completely.
Lustig sold Poisson a false contract for the Eiffel
Tower – and on top of that, Poisson paid him a little extra money “under the
table”. Lustig put all the money in a suitcase and took the first train to
Vienna. Poisson never told the police what had happened – he was too
embarrassed. After a month, Lustig returned to Paris and tried to sell the
Eiffel Tower again, but this time somebody told the police and he had to escape
to America. There, he continued his criminal career and finished his days in
the famous Alcatraz prison.

31. (Pucrs 2014) Eight rules for walks
in the country
Posted by Tom Cox
“It’s quite an up and down kind of walk,” said my friend Emma. “Oh,” added Emma, “and it gets a bit blowy up there, so I’d leave your credit card back here if I were you.” I gave her a searching look, wondering how a credit card might relate to a strong wind. “I took mine up there the other week and it blew out of my hand into the sea,” she clarified. “I had to order a new one.”
I fell in love with walking because it lifted my
spirit and took me to parts of my local area that I would never have _________
otherwise, but also because there was something brilliantly ridiculous about
the idea of _________ yourself, 1on a whim, alone, in a bit of
countryside you’d never _________ before, with no real goal apart from putting
one foot in front of the other.
I’ve never really dressed in any walking-specific clothing or taken any special supplies out with me, but I do think there are a few things I’ve learned about “how to walk” in gentle terrain that might help others. I have compiled some of the main ones: always be assertive in saying “Hello!” to fellow walkers, unless in a built-up area; learn to fold your map properly; show strange dogs and cows who is boss; don’t be afraid of dictaphones*; try not to have a beard, but if you do have a beard, have a dog as well; try to avoid headwear, unless strictly necessary; choose an apt soundtrack for your walk; watch out for fookwits and loonies!
This last one doesn’t apply specifically to country walks. It’s just something that my dad tells me every time I see him, and it’s worked fairly well as a general rule for life over the years, so it probably works for walking as well.
