Interview with Luke Dollar, National Geographic Emerging Explorer, conservationist and scientist
NG Kids: What’s a normal day like for you?
Dollar: I don’t have normal days. There is no predictability in my days, but what is predictable is that it’s gonna start before the sun is up and end well after the next day has arrived. We live in a global society and by the time I am up at 5 a.m., it’s 2 in the afternoon in Madagascar.
The day is going to be full of stuff that I love. I am a professor in North Carolina….at Pfeiffer University. When I got there they said, we need an environmental science program. So I got to develop the major and the curriculum.
NG Kids: What do you do for fun […]?
Dollar: I play with my dogs and train them. They are Chesapeake Bay retrievers. I wrestle with my son Zachary. The most wonderful sound in the world is a baby’s laughter.

Sem briga, questão nem guerra,
Meça desta grande terra
Umas tarefa pra eu!
Tenha pena do agregado

Relembrando os horrores da 2ª Guerra Mundial
No portão de entrada, avistamos o cartão de visitas dos nazistas – “O trabalho liberta” –, instalado em meio às cercas eletrificadas que contornam todo o local; [...]. Naquele momento, começamos a entender o que nos esperava naquele lugar: um sentimento de medo e horror nunca experimentado em livros, filmes e relatos sobre a Segunda Guerra. Através de nossos olhos, o filme de horror nazista repetia-se em silêncio. Impossível esconder a emoção que arrebatava todos os visitantes.

- Língua Espanhola | 1. Interpretação de Textos
La Casa de Papel
[1] A través de Tokio como narradora, la serie de
televisión La Casa de Papel nos cuenta la historia de un
atraco a la Fábrica Nacional de Moneda y Timbre. Liderados
[4] desde el exterior por El Profesor, un hombre planificador
hasta lo enfermizo que ve en este atraco la posibilidad de
hacer justicia por el trato que tuvo su padre años antes, la
[7] banda tendrá la difícil misión de fabricar y sacar todo el
dinero que puedan mientras intentan mantener a raya tanto a
la policía como a los rehenes.
[10] Hay un tema que me parece fascinante y es la
perversión del concepto de héroe a través del rol de
atracador. El Profesor, Berlín, Tokio y Nairobi y el hecho de
[13] que más que gente mala, estén ahí por “decisiones
cuestionables en la vida”, tal y como se les retrata a la
mayoría, hacen que nos creamos sus discursos de que lo que
[16] están haciendo no es un delito, sino justicia social, tras todo
el descalabro económico de la crisis y rescates bancarios.
Al igual que no faltan conversaciones sobre cómo
[19] van ganando apoyo del ciudadano de a pie e incluso de los
propios rehenes nosotros como espectadores también
deseamos que el atraco salga adelante, que la policía fracase
[22] y que nuestros héroes delincuentes triunfen.
Mención aparte merece el enfoque de los personajes
y sus relaciones. Si bien es cierto, y todos los que alguna vez
[25] hemos estado en un clima de convivencia y semiaislamiento
(un campamento o un viaje largo con amigos, por ejemplo)
podemos atestiguarlo, que las relaciones humanas se
[28] intensifican al máximo en pocos días, tengo la sensación de
que se han pasado un par de vueltas a la hora de desarrollar
las dinámicas románticas.
[31] Lo que han logrado con La Casa de Papel, con una
combinación entre un reparto estupendo, una realización a la
que se le puede poner muy pocos y pequeños peros y un
[34] guion que logra enganchar episodio a episodio, se ve pocas
veces en la televisión nacional.

En conformidad con las ideas del texto La Casa de Papel,
La expresión “se le puede poner muy pocos y pequeños peros” (l.33) significa que algo roza la perfección.

Read this text about Yuri Gagarin.
Yuri was born on March 9, 1934 in Klushino, a small village 100 miles west of Moscow. His father was a cabinetmaker, carpenter, bricklayer, and farmer, and his mother was a milkmaid. Together they worked on a kolkhoz or collective farm. By Soviet social standards, his heritage was impeccable. He was the third of four children. During the war, the Nazis threw his family out of their home and took away two of his sisters. Yuri helped his parents dig a dugout where they lived untill the war was over, then the family moved to Gziatsk.
[…]
Yuri was subjected to extremely rigorous training: physical, mental, and psychological. He underwent long periods in a sensory deprivation chamber, experiments with weightlessness, endurance in heat chambers, and test flights under stress with every reaction monitored. […]
"During the days of preparation for the launch, when everyone had more than his share of concerns, apprehensions, and anxieties, he alone seemed to keep calm. More than that: he was full of good spirits and beamed like the sun."
On April 12, 1961 the first earthling escaped the gravity well of planet earth. In the spaceship Vostok 1, Senior Lieutenant Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin orbited earth one time at an altitude of 187 3/4 miles (302 kilometers) for 108 minutes at 18,000 miles an hour. He was the first man to see that the earth was indeed round, indeed mostly water, and indeed magnificent.
Following his return to earth, Yuri's triumphant walk through Red Square in front of a crowd of hundreds of thousands made him more nervous and afraid than his historic flight. As he reached the podium, the awaiting Valya tearfully whispered in his ear, "Our dream has come true, Yuri." Embracing her he replied, "You're a smart girl! Thank you!" [...]
