Radio Highlights: Life Change
Saturday 7p.m.
Are you bored with your life or your job? Do you do the same thing every day? Perhaps you're stuck in a rut, and it's time to look for something new. Every year thousands of people dream about changing their lives. Many want to give up their jobs and start a new career, or move house or learn a new skill. Lots of people say they'd like to do something different, like travel around the world, or move to a new country. But only a few people actually follow their dreams. Around holiday times a quarter of the people in the UK think about changing jobs, but when the holiday finishes, they just go back to work as normal. Others wait for an opportunity their whole lives but it never comes. We talked to two women who were not afraid of changing their lives. Listen to their stories on Life Change.
Jasmin 1 To be stuck in a rut means: a) to work/live in a boring situation which never changes. b) to work/live in the same place for many years. 2 Most people who think about changing their lives: a) change one thing. b) don't change anything. 3 When twenty-five percent of people in the UK go on holiday: a) they have ideas about changing their jobs. b) they want to move to another country.
Complete the sentences with the phrases in bold from the text in Exercise 1. 1 I sometimes think about doing a different job. 2 I really enjoy travelling, but I wouldn't _______ another country to live. 3 I want to _______ my job, and _______ to studying. 4 I need to speak English because I want to ________ a better job.

7.2 THE GREAT IMPOSTOR GRAMMAR | purpose, cause and result
VOCABULARY | collocations
HOW TO | use phrases to connect ideas
Read the definition of impostor. Do you know any stories about people who 'pretend to be someone else'?
From Longman Wordwise Dictionary.
Look at the film poster. Who do you think this man pretended to be?
B Read the story. As you read, stop at each question and, with a partner, guess the answer. Then read to find out.
Work in pairs and discuss the questions. 1 Why do you think Demara did these things? 2 Do you think he was a good man? 3 Do you think people like Demara should be punished?
1 Ferdinand Waldo Demara was probably the greatest
impostor in history. He was born in the USA in 1921. As a young man he pretended to be a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, a university professor, a soldier, and a sailor. Demara's greatest adventure was during the Korean War.
What did he do? a) He pretended to be a doctor on a ship. b) He worked for the Korean government. c) He pretended to be a politician. Read 6 to find out →
2 Demara pretended to be a teacher and the police
caught him. He spent six months in prison. After this, he played one more role. He appeared in a 1960 film (called The Hypnotic Eye) to make some money, acting as a doctor. But real fame arrived in 1961 when Hollywood made a film of Demara's life.
3 The bullet was very close to the soldier's heart.
Demara studied from a book so that he could save the man's life. He removed the bullet and the soldier lived. In fact, while Demara's worked as a doctor, none of his patients died. But in the end he became too successful.
What happened? a) He appeared on TV and his friends recognised him. b) His photo and false name appeared in a newspaper. c) He became a film star. Read 5 to find out →
4 Demara didn't go to prison because people thought he was
a hero. Instead the police released him and gave him extra money to say 'thank you' for his great work! But later the police arrested him for a different crime.
What did he do? a) He robbed a bank. b) He pretended to be a policeman. c) He pretended to be a teacher. Read 2 to find out →
5 Demara became famous because of his great work as the
ship's doctor and his photo appeared in some newspapers in Canada. The mother of the real Dr Cyr saw the photo. She knew this was not her son, so she told the police and they arrested him.
What happened next? a) He went to prison. b) He didn't go to prison. c) He escaped to Europe. Read 4 to find out →
6 In 1951 Demara pretended to be Dr Joseph Cyr (a real
doctor) so that he could work on a ship. The soldiers loved him! He cured their illnesses, he pulled out bad teeth and he performed difficult operations. He had his greatest moment after a soldier was shot.
What did he do? a) He jumped into the sea and helped the soldier. b) He pretended to be the dead soldier. c) He performed an operation that saved the soldier's life. Read 3 to find out →

One wet grey day in the 1930s the family decide to escape the English weather. They sell their house and move to the sunny island of Corfu in Greece. Here they experience a new life of freedom and adventure. But the beginning isn't easy, so they are delighted when they make a new friend, Spiro.

We'll find a place ourselves.' 6 'We don't actually speak Greek. 7 'You need someone who talks your language?' 8 'All the English tourists, they ask for me when they come to the island … There.

Beating migraines and medication
By: Sheila O.
For years, I had suffered from migraines. This led to seizures and to TiA's. No doctor could give me the reason why or help me. All I got was more medicine (I was up to 14 pills every day).
After one month I am now down to three in the morning and two at night. I haven't had any seizures and have only had a few migraines. Compared to before, I am able to get out of bed for a reason. I have my life back!!
Finally taking charge
By: Steve H.
I feel like I've finally gotten a road map to a better life. I've been losing weight and feeling better, more alive. I've also found myself feeling less stressed out with the daily grind. I've been able to take charge of situations which would normally send me into a panic.
Losing pounds, fixing my scoliosis and kicked my medications
By: Stephen H.
"I knew I had a problem and it was going to take a long time and money. My back has been in pain for four years. Mainly due to football injuries. My neck was nearly curving the wrong way. On the fourth week of care my pain was gone and I had more energy to do things.
My scoliosis is now from 11 degrees to 5 degrees. To date I take no medications for my back pain (I took four Ibuprofen a day or more in the past!) and take no allergy medicine. I have also lost a considerable amount of weight which is still coming off.

A Change of Heart, a Homestar Runner Fanfic(tion)
Chapter Five: Saraleecheesecake, Denoument
OK, OK. Sorry. I've been sick and had school double bleh. I promise, this chapter probably won't be worth the wait. Disclaimer.
The two moons set and a ghostly light left the strangely-shaped trees and similarly strangely-shaped buildings. A white-skinned, armless kid walked across the reasonably featureless landscape.
"Hey, Stinkoman!"
A familiar-looking face donning a cobalt mane emerged from the tractor in which it had slept.
"What is it? Can't you see I'm busy sleeping off a CHALLENGE?"
A roundish panda bear bounded after the kid.
"Well, Pan-Pan and I were tossing the Cheatball and accidentally-"
Pan-Pan tripped and flew into the air. Stinkoman sprung into action.
"LOOK OUT!" He leapt over the steering wheel and pushed 1-Up out of the way. Pan-Pan crash-landed not one inch from where 1-Up had been standing. The bear left a large indent in the ground, cracks stemming out from the impact's nadir. Unhurt, the bear got up and muttered an apology.
"It's okay, big guy. Who wants to play some VIDEOGAAAAAMES?"
"Strange," Strong Bad mused, observing the scene from above, "That's not the Stinkoman I dreamed up. He woulda just left him be and laughed at the crash." But this is what I would've done.
Strong Bad awoke with a jerk, trying to recall where he was.
"OW! Stop! It's punching me!"
Strong Bad heard the commotion and remembered that he was still checking his email. He'd had his head on the keyboard.
Just then, Homestar walked in.
"Hey, Stwong Bad? I think you fell asleep while checking youw emaihl. You might wanna wite back to that Jaview guy. You accidentawy deleted his message."
Strong Bad took it all in. It was all a...dream? Yes? Yes. YES! He threw his arms around Homestar and began screaming.
Homestar was confused. "I thought you hated me, and I haven't been anywhere. Plus, you'we still on camewa."
A single tear escaped from Strong Bad's eye. "Never-nevermind. Let's go get an ice cream, huh, buddy?"
The two smiled, and Strong Sad ran past, being continually punched by The Cheat's machine.
Everything is fine.
Whoah! Cop-out! I hope you enjoyed it, anyway. Please review, or else I'll think you don't love me.
As for my future projects, I'm looking at a one-shot with Coach Z, or maybe some Phoenix Wright stuff. Keep an eye out!

Insurers have agreed to continue offering cover to homes and businesses in high risk areas until the end of this year, but they have not yet decided whether they will extend the moratorium beyond this date.
Halifax, which is part of the HBOS Group, said its pledge would apply to all existing Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Intelligent Finance mortgage customers who have buildings or contents insurance with the group.
It will also extend to existing mortgage customers who have their insurance with another group if they transfer their cover to Halifax before the end of the year, and new customers who take out household insurance before 2003.
In addition the bank will offer cover to people after the end of the year if they buy a property where the previous owners had insurance with Halifax, Bank of Scotland or Intelligent Finance.
Halifax said premiums for the cover, which is underwritten by Royal & Sun Alliance, would not increase by more than 5% a year above annual premium rises for all customers.
It is the first major lender to make the pledge, although Churchill Insurance has also promised to continue offering cover beyond the end of the moratorium.
The Association of British Insurers said the move was an individual business decision, but added that insurers were looking at ways to continue offering cover after the end of the year.
There are around 1.7 million households in the UK at risk from flooding and around 130,000 small businesses, but these figures are expected to increase going forward as it is predicted that Britain will experience more extreme weather during the coming decades.
The Government recently announced it would increase spending on flood defences by £150 million a year by 2005, though the ABI said it was still waiting for details on exactly how the extra money would be spent.

Hats off you you, graduate! Believe it or not, graduation season is right around the corner! Pretty soon you'll be ordering your son or daughters cap and gown for graduation, taking those famous graduation photos that you'll cherish for years to come and start thinking about how you'll want to celebrate all of your son or daughter's accomplishments. A graduation is a special time for both the student and the parent, as everyone's hard work and persistence has finally paid off and a new chapter of life will be beginning.
When thinking about your child's upcoming graduation, you may want to send out graduation invitations, graduation announcements or maybe BOTH! Graduation announcements are great for out of town friends, family and relatives with whom you'd love to share the good news, but don't expect them to drive from afar to attend the graduation ceremony or a party. It's a great way to keep in touch and send an update to them, as well as include a photograph of the graduating senior. A graduation announcement can be simple, informing the recipient that the student has or will be graduating, as well as including the graduation date, location and possibly even noting the student's to-be attending college or university.
If you'd rather invite everyone to your graduation event, your graduation party invitation can easily double as an invitation and an announcement. Inform your guests in your wording that your child has graduated and then invite them to celebrate their commencement afterwards! If guests live too far away or cannot attend, they'll still know they were thought of with the invitation and also be informed about the big graduation day. We have changed our website a little bit this graduation season, to help our customers when browsing for the perfect graduation invitation. As there are so many choices for the perfect invitation, we've broken everything down into sections for you from girl/boy graduation to class of 2011, school colors, photos or career specific icons, symbols and logos.
Below are some of our most popular graduation party invitations and graduation announcements this 2011 graduation season…

First, the giant mural of Romolo was all like this:
But now it's all like this – I haven't been through this way since it got painted over, thusly:
"I'm done with them. That's why the mural is painted over," Sherry said. She said that during the 2004 restoration, which took almost a year, she worked on the mural six days a week for almost a year and was only compensated for transportation and lunch. "It was an absolute nightmare," she said. "All they could pay me was coming out of their poor little pockets, so I accepted it because at the time I could afford to take a lot of time to do this. … So I basically just did the work, and they let it go to hell again.
There was a theory that murals discourage graffiti. I don't know well that theory worked out…

Off-specular reflectivity, or diffuse scattering, probes the lateral compositional variations at surfaces and interfaces. Of particular interest is the characterization at buried interfaces for the form and amplitude of roughness. Recent advances in modeling of the diffuse scattering proposes that contributions from physical roughness (topology) and gradients may be distinguished. Model substrates and buried interfaces were examined by a combination of neutron and x-ray off-specular reflectivity and atomic force microscopy to address these challenges. These three complementary methods, with different contrast mechanisms, highlight diffuse scattering as a versatile method to characterize buried interfacial structure.

South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission, established to investigate the atrocities in this country's past, will subpoena Winnie Mandela, President Nelson Mandela's former wife, to a closed session of the panel, officials of the commission said today.
The commission has been investigating the activities of her notorious former bodyguards, known as the Mandela United Football Club. Several of the club's members have asked for amnesty and in their applications have apparently disclosed new details of the club's activities and the role they say the President's former wife, who now uses the surname Madikizela-Mandela, played in them.
Dumisa Ntsebeza, the head of the commission's investigative unit, said in a recent interview that the information before the commission went far beyond what has been publicly known about the club's activities. One commission official, who insisted that he not be identified, said the new information involved perhaps as many as 11 murders.
Among those to have asked for amnesty is Jerry Richardson, the ''coach'' of the club, who is currently in jail for his part in the 1989 murder of a 14-year-old boy in the black township of Soweto. The youngster, Stompie Seipei, was kidnapped from a church home and taken to Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela's home, where he was fatally beaten.Continue reading the main story
Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela, who maintained that she took the teen-ager into her home to protect him from sexual abuse at the church home, was charged with murder in the case. But in 1993, she was convicted only of kidnapping and beating the boy. She received a six-year jail term, but her sentence was later reduced to fines.
The Truth Commission, intended to spare the country from the expense and political divisiveness of trials, is investigating political crimes committed by all sides under apartheid. It has been granted the power to give amnesty to people who confess all. It also has the power to subpoena testimony for its own investigations. Such testimony has always been given privately, officials said.
The commission does not have the power to prosecute but it can turn its information over to the justice system.
Mr. Mandela divorced his former wife last year, after two days of court testimony in which the 78-year-old President, who spent more than 27 years in jail, said that his former wife was not interested in him when he was released. During his years in prison, she had been a tireless campaigner on his behalf. But once he was free, Mr. Mandela said, she had never once come into their bedroom while he was awake.
After the divorce, which she bitterly opposed, Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela decided to use her maiden name as well as her married name.
In recent years, Mrs. Madikizela-Mandela has often been in the headlines. Her husband first appointed her a deputy minister for arts and culture and then dismissed her for insubordination.Continue reading the main story

Thursday 26 January is Young Carer Awareness Day
A young carer is someone under 18 who helps look after someone in their family, or a friend, who is ill, disabled or misuses drugs or alcohol.
Being a young carer can have a big impact on the things that are important to growing up:
Carers Support Centre works with schools to help make sure young carers are recognised and support is put in place to help them cope. The charity works with 32 schools including Abbeywood Community Secondary Academy, Orchard School, Horfield CE Primary and Filton Avenue Jnr School.

In writing. Don't use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was "terrible," describe it so that we'll be terrified. Don't say it was "delightful"; make us say "delightful" when we've read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, "Please will you do my job for me."
