MOVIES ON THE JOB
Yesterday I watched a movie in which Joan Allen's
character had a job which seemed to consist entirely of standing around while
other people do the actual work of restoring historic artwork in old buildings
(the. movie was "Hachiko: A Dog's Story") . This seemed like a nice,
lucrative job -- she certainly dressed well, and lived in an enormous, stately home
with her music-professor husband -- and one that left her plenty of energy and
free time. And it got me thinking about the idea of work in the movies; how so
often jobs (which take up a huge amount of our waking time in real life) are
treated by movies as a dismissible fantasy thing, sometimes to unintentionally
comic effect.
Ever notice how young women in the movies,
who usually have some sort of underling office job, live in adorably decorated
apartments that an administrative assistant couldn't possibly afford -- and are
never shown doing anything at work other than taking personal calls and having
lunch? Or the way writers in the movies, like the hero of "Marley &
Me" or Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City, " seem to effortlessly
make a fortune while doing very little actual writing? Or the way attractive
female executives (see Renee Zellweger in "New in Town, " and quite
possibly Sandra Bullock in the upcoming "The Proposal") prance around
on their high heels and tight skirts and do ... well, nothing? Or how people in
the movies routinely have the kind of careers, like Allen' s in "Hachiko,
" that seem a tad difficult to pull off in real life? I remember a Hilary
Swank movie from a couple of years back in which she effortlessly transitioned
from real estate agent to ... wait for it. . . . shoe designer, and lived
happily ever after.

BIG INCREASE IN DRUNKEN 10-YEAR-OLDS WHO NEED AN AMBULANCE
London Ambulance Service
figures today reveal that the number of 10- and 11-year-olds requiring medical
treatment for alcohol abuse has more than doubled in the past two years. The
figures come as health groups called for restrictions on cheap alcohol after it
was revealed that youngsters could get drunk for half the price of a bar of
chocolate.
Campaigners called on the Government to
tackle the "plague" of illness caused by cheap alcoholic drinks after
an investigation found that strong cider was available in city supermarkets for
as little as 10p a unit.
Former chief medical officer Sir Liam
Donaldson has recommended that parents should not let children under 15 drink
alcohol. But many young people are consuming an average of 15 units a week, the
equivalent of a pint of beer every day.
A report by Alcohol Concern and the
Children's Society reveals that parents who drink to excess might also be influencing
their children. At least 2.6 million children in the UK now live with parents
drinking "hazardously".

USING SENSORS TO PREDICT BREAKING GLASS
Ever been walking down the
street in a major city and suddenly get the eerie feeling that something is not
quite right above you? Some of the buildings around you will be designed with
lots of glass. Huge plates of the stuff. What might happen if that glass
shattered and started falling all over you? This happens more often than you
might think. And with large glass façades becoming part of modern building
design, it's becoming even more of a concern to architects, builders and
engineers.
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute want
to help by using sensors to sound the alarm before the glass is already
breaking and falling. Four sensors are situated on the edge of the pane at a
distance of one meter from each other. One sensor produces an ultrasound wave
that is registered by the others. If the signal remains constant, the pane is
not defective. If it changes, this indicates a fissure, which most often
emanates from the edge of the pane and is initially invisible. It is only as
time goes by that it gets larger due to various factors, like fluctuations in
temperature. The information is relayed to the building control systems and an
alarm goes off.
The modules are also equipped to with light
and temperature sensors that can instruct the building control system to lower
shades to prevent the building from getting too hot.
