Ny bog fra Harry Potters mor

J.K. Rowling er færdig med sin første bog, som ikke handler om Harry Potter, Men "Fortællingerne om barden Beedle", som Rowling selv har illustreret, er kun trykt i syv eksemplarer.

1. november 2007, 13:55 Af MAGGIE SVARSTAD maggie@bt.dk

Mens de syv bøger om troldmandslærlingen Harry er solgt i 400 mio eksemplarer over hele verden, så er J.K. Rowlings nye bog med magiske fortællinger bestemt ikke tilgængelig for alle og enhver.

"The Tales of Beedle the Bard" ("Fortællingerne om barden Beedle"), som er en håndskrevet bog med forfatterens egne tegninger, skal nemlig først og fremmest skaffe en masse penge til nødhjælpsorganisationen Childrens Voice. Og derfor er den også kun trykt i syv eksemplarer.

De seks skal bruges til gaver. Mens nummer syv bliver solgt på auktion hos Sotheby's i næste måned. Og vil man være med om buddet, så skal den store tegnebog findes frem. Buddene starter nemlig på 350.000 kroner.

Panda-kærlighed på japansk

To røde pandaer i den japanske Yumemigasaki Zoo i Kawasaki er blevet havens helt store attraktion. De to små dyr har nemlig forelsket sig vildt og inderligt i hinanden og krammer i op til ti minutter ad gangen.

1. november 2007, 15:13 Af MAGGIE SVARSTAD maggie@bt.dk

Pandaerne har kommet godt ud af det sammen i mange år, og deres kysseri sker ofte i parringstiden. Men aldrig så meget som år. Så jeg går ud fra, at de simpelt hen har forelsket sig i hinanden, siger den zoologiske haves direktør.

På trods af deres heftige omfavnelser og hede kys, så har det japanske pandapar endnu ikke produceret noget afkom. Men det gør ikke noget, for bare synet af det forelskede par, som i øvrigt begge hedder Yuyu, fortryller alle.

Bare at se dem kysse gør mit hjerte.

Verdict due on Madrid train bombs

Security forces are on alert before a Spanish court delivers its verdict on the March 2004 Madrid train bombings, the country's largest terror trial.

A three-judge panel will read out its verdict and sentences at 1100 (1000 GMT) on Wednesday.
Twenty-eight men faced trial over the devastating nail-bomb blasts that hit four commuter trains, killing 191 people and injuring more than 1,500.
All the accused pleaded innocent during the four-month trial.

'Doubts remain'
The defendants - 19 mostly Moroccan Arabs and nine Spaniards - face charges including murder, forgery and conspiracy to commit a terrorist attack over the 11 March 2004 blasts.
The top eight defendants each face nearly 39,000 years in jail if found guilty on all charges, but under Spanish law the maximum sentence for terrorism is 40 years.

Spanish investigators say the accused were part of a local Islamist militant group inspired by al-Qaeda, but had no direct links to the terror organisation.
Fourteen of the accused went on hunger strike during the trial, in protest against what they called unjust accusations against them.
Seven suspected ringleaders died in a suicide blast in a Madrid apartment three weeks after the attacks.
Spanish Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero says he hopes the ruling will "give a definitive answer to those who have put forth absurd and despicable doubts about 11 March".
Many Spaniards still have serious doubts about who was behind the attacks, says the BBC's Danny Wood in Madrid.
Some theories - supported by a number of victims - suggest they were part of a coup d'etat involving Spain's secret services.
But many others believe the verdict will clear up such doubts, and regard it as a key step towards recovery, our correspondent says.
Memorial services are planned for a week after the verdict.

Warning over net address limits

Internet Service Providers urgently need to roll out the next generation of net addresses for online devices, internet pioneer Vint Cerf has said.

Every device that goes online is allocated a unique IP address but the pool of numbers is finite and due to run out around 2010.
A new system, called IPv6, has been awaiting roll out for 10 years.
Unless IPv6 is switched on in the coming years, some devices might not be able to go online, Mr Cerf has warned.
Mr Cerf, who played a key role in the development of the protocols which underpin the global net, said: "There is a risk of not being able to get online."
He added: "The rate of consumption of available remaining IPv4 numbers appears to be on track to run out in 2010/11."
Mr Cerf is about to step down as chairman of Icann, the body which oversees the net, and is also Google's chief internet evangelist.
Potential shortage
The current system, called IPv4 provides four billion addresses but the explosion in the number of devices which go online has led to the potential shortage.
Although IPv6 was standardised 10 years ago it has not been rolled out at speed.
While modern computers, servers, routers and other online devices are able to use IPv6, internet service providers have yet to implement the system.
"The reason they haven't - which is quite understandable - is that customers haven't asked for it yet," said Mr Cerf, adding, "my job, whether with my Icann hat on or not, is to persuade them to ask for it.
"If you don't ask for it, then when you most want it you won't have it."
IPv6 will create 340 trillion trillion trillion separate addresses, enough to satisfy demand for decades to come.
"To be clear - if we finally exhaust the IPv4 pool it doesn't mean the internet stops working. But people wanting an IPv4 address won't get one. "
"If there is an internet that does not support IPv6, not getting an IPv4 address means not getting on the net."
He added: "The appreciation of the importance of getting IPv6 into operation is very much more visible than before.
"I'm anticipating in 2008 a substantial increase of use of IPv6, introduced in parallel with IPv4."
One complicating factor is that IPv6 and IPv4 are not compatible so ISPs will have to run the two systems in parallel - adding to costs.
In Asia, governments in China, Korea and Japan have begun to lead roll out of IPv6 and the European Union is reviewing methods to encourage adoption.

Court grants Spears child visits

Britney Spears can have three monitored visits a week with her two small sons, a US court commissioner has ruled.

But the pop star must undergo random weekly drug and alcohol tests and continue to receive parenting classes.
Ms Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline was granted full custody of Sean Preston, aged two, and one-year-old Jayden James on 1 October.
In September, the same court official cited Ms Spears' "habitual, frequent and continuous" drugs and alcohol use.
Scott Gordon has previously granted Ms Spears visitation rights only to suspend them on her failure to comply with court orders. He later restored the visits, but on condition they were attended by a court-approved monitor.
In Tuesday's ruling Ms Spears was granted two afternoons and one full night per week with her two sons.
But as conditions for the visits to take place, she was also ordered to childproof her house, work out a schedule for the visits with Mr Federline, and use car seats when driving her children around.
'Chaotic'
The judgement comes after a three-hour hearing last Friday, which both Ms Spears, 25, and Mr Federline, 29, attended.
Detailed testimony was presented, from Ms Spears' parenting coach Lisa Hacker among others. Ms Hacker's report concluded that the singer loved her sons and that they were bonded to her.
But it also criticised Ms Spears, calling the atmosphere at her home "chaotic" and saying she rarely played with or spoke to the boys.
"It seems that her choices are dependent more upon what she wants to do at any given time rather than what would be more enjoyable for the children," Ms Hacker said in her assessment.
A full evaluation of the custody arrangements is not expected to be completed until mid-January, according to news agency Reuters.

Burma army 'recruiting children'

The Burmese army is forcibly recruiting children to cover gaps left by a lack of adult recruits, says a report by a US-based human rights organisation.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) says children as young as 10 are beaten or threatened with arrest to make them enlist.
Burma has previously said it is working towards preventing the recruitment of children by the military.
HRW has urged the UN Security Council to do more to punish Burma over its alleged use of child soldiers.

False documents
The report, entitled "Sold to be Soldiers: The Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers in Burma" says there are thousands of children in the Burmese military.
It claims that children are approached in public places by military recruiters and civilian brokers who have been promised cash rewards by the military.
The children are often beaten or threatened with arrest to force them to enlist, the report says.
It is claimed that recruiting officers routinely falsify enlistment documents to register children as being 18, the legal minimum age for recruitment.
One child quoted in the report says he was forced to lie about his age when he was recruited for a second time.
"When I said I was 16, I was slapped and he said, 'You are 18, answer 18.'
"I just wanted to go back and home and I told them, but they refused."

'Blatant recruitment'
The child recruits are deployed to battalions after an average of 18 weeks training, the report says.
They are often reportedly sent into combat immediately, or forced to take part in activities, such as burning villages, which can be classified as human rights abuses.
Jo Becker, children's rights advocate for HRW, said Burma is "literally buying and selling children" to fill the ranks.
"The government's senior generals tolerate the blatant recruitment of children and fail to punish perpetrators," she said.
"In this environment, army recruiters traffic children at will."
Ms Becker said that the recent military crackdown had put off many of those potential recruits who were not already deterred by poor conditions and low pay.
"After deploying its soldiers against Buddhist monks and other peaceful demonstrators, the government may find it even harder to find willing volunteers," she said.
The Burmese ruling junta says it has formed a high-level committee to address the issue of child soldiers.
However, Ms Becker described the committee as "a sham", saying the government must address the issue head-on and demobilise all children.

International pressure
There remains widespread international concern about human rights in Burma.
Thousands of people are thought to have been detained following September's military crackdown.
The UN Security Council is due to meet soon to discuss the use of child soldiers in Burma.
HRW has accused the Security Council of not taking any action to address the issue, despite stating repeatedly that it would consider targeted sanctions.
The group has urged the UN to impose travel restrictions and arms embargos if the situation does not improve.

Científicos logran prometedores resultados en estudio sobre el cáncer

Plantean la posibilidad de prevenir la enfermedad mediante la destrucción de células infectadas antes de que se conviertan en cancerosas

Washington, (EFE).- Científicos estadounidenses han demostrado por primera vez que muchos tipos de cáncer pueden combatirse mediante un ataque frontal sobre los virus que los causan, reveló un estudio publicado por la revista PloS One.
Según los científicos del Colegio de Medicina Albert Einstein de la Universidad Yeshiva, en Nueva York, el resultado de su investigación plantea la posibilidad de prevenir la enfermedad mediante la destrucción de células infectadas antes de que se conviertan en cancerosas.
Casi el 20% de los cánceres que afectan al ser humano tienen como origen principal infecciones virales preexistentes.
Entre ellos se incluyen el cáncer hepático, causado por los virus de la hepatitis B y C, el cáncer cervical, causado por el virus papiloma humano, y ciertos tipos de linfomas.
Los investigadores utilizaron una técnica llamada radioinmunoterapia, mediante la cual insertaron radioisótopos en los anticuerpos.
Una vez inyectados, esos anticuerpos atacan una proteína específica y el radioisótopo destruye la célula donde se encuentra esa proteína, según explicaron.
Para probar su teoría en ratones, los científicos insertaron el radioisótopo rhenium en anticuerpos monoclonales dirigidos contra un antígeno que se manifiesta virtualmente en todas las células del cáncer cervival.
También prepararon la radioinmunoterapia contra el cáncer hepático insertando el mismo radioisótopo a anticuerpos monoclonales contra HBx, un antígeno viral de las células cancerosas que aparecen en el hígado.
Posteriormente, los roedores que padecían una forma de tumores cervicales o hepáticos fueron tratados con la terapia.
Según los científicos, en ambos casos la radioinmunoterapia redujo de manera considerable del crecimiento tumoral en comparación con otros no tratados.
"La radioinmunoterapia tuvo resultados no sólo contra esos cánceres, sino que además la radiactividad se limitó totalmente a las masas tumorales sin dañar los tejidos sanos", señaló Ekaterina Dadachova, profesora de medicina nuclear y Microbiología e Inmunología de Albert Einstein.

Angelina Jolie gravid

Der er et nyt medlem af den internationale familie Jolie/Pitt: Angelina Jolie er gravid igen med familiens femte barn

Den Jolie/Pitt'ske børneflok bliver snart udvidet med endnu et medlem - og det er Angelina Jolie selv, der står for fødearbejdet.
Nyheden bliver bekræftet at talskvinden for et center, hvor Jolie skulle have holdt tale.
Angelina Jolie var inviteret som gæstetaler konferencen med det meget lange navn 'The Flight Of The Hummingbird – The Future Of Children In The Mind And Society Of The World', der bliver holdt i Pio Manzu Centret nær Rimini, Italien.
Jolie måtte pludselig melde afbud - og det fik de italienske aviser til at løbe over med nyheden om, at Jolie venter endnu et barn.
Talskvinde bekræfterEn talskvinde for centret, Letizia Manjani, viste sig at være ualmindeligt dårlig til at holde på en hemmelighed, da The Sun udspurgte hende om graviditeten:
- Angelina aflyste i sidste uge. Af respekt for hendes privatliv kan jeg ikke bekræfte hendes graviditet, men jeg kan sige, at de italienske avisers rapporter er korrekte, sagde talskvinden til engelske The Sun.
I sidste måned udtalte Brad Pitt i et interview, at parret var klar til at få et barn mere. Det bliver deres femte barn.

Scarlett: Jeg elsker dansk mad

Den sexede Hollywood-stjerne fortæller i nyt interview om sin kærlighed til København og den udskældte danske husmandskost

Traditionel dansk mad har fået mange stryg over flæskesværene i løbet af det sidste årti. Men den udskældte brune sovs og de forhadte frikadeller har stadig en trofast fanskare. Blandt andet filmstjernerrnen Scarlett Johansson, datter af den danske arkitekt Karsten Johansson. Hun afslører sin hang til dansk husmandskost i et nyt interview med det australske magasin Health & Fitness: – Min far er dansk, hvilket gør mig til halvdansker. Men jeg er født og opvokset i New York. Derfor opfatter jeg ikke mig selv som europæer. Jeg er dog i Danmark i ny og næ. Det er faktisk ikke særlig længe siden, at jeg var i København, fordi jeg har fået en lille niece. – Jeg elsker byen og er lykkelig, når jeg er der. Jeg bliver også rigtig fed. Jeg kan simpelt hen ikke holde snitterne fra al den dejlige danske mad, erklærer Hollywood-stjernen, der har en 39-årig dansk halvbror, Ian Johansson. Tilhænger af plastikoperationer22-årige Scarlett er flere gange blevet kåret til verdens mest sexede kvinde og udelukker ikke, at hun vil ty til plastikkirurgi for at beholde det berømmede udseende: – Jeg er stor tilhænger af plastikoperationer. Jeg vil ikke ende som en gammel heks.– Det ville være for deprimerende, udtaler Scarlett, der har følgende skønhedstip til sine medsøstre: – Jeg har altid været dårlig til at give andre gode råd. Men min mor fortalte mig engang, at jeg altid skulle huske at vaske mit ansigt med sæbe, før jeg gik i seng. Det råd har jeg fulgt, og det har tjent mig godt, konstaterer sexsymbolet med de gode danske gener.

Brasil será la sede del Mundial de fútbol del 2014, anunció la FIFA

El país de la samba organizará por segunda vez este torneo. Antes lo hizo en 1950, cuando su selección perdió la final con Uruguay, en el recordado 'maracanazo'

Zurich (Reuters) - Brasil organizará el Mundial de fútbol del 2014, informó el martes la FIFA. El presidente de la entidad que rige el fútbol a nivel mundial, el suizo Joseph Blatter, confirmó que el país sudamericano se quedó con la sede de la competencia. Brasil, que era el único candidato y organizó el Mundial del 1950, se convierte en el primer país sudamericano en ser sede mundialista desde Argentina en 1978. De esta forma, Brasil es la quinta nación que es sede del Mundial en dos oportunidades, después de México (1970 y 1986), Francia (1938 y 1998), Alemania Occidental, Alemania (1974 y 2006) e Italia (1934 y 1990). La selección de Brasil es pentacampeona mundial y es la única que participó de las 18 Copas disputadas hasta el momento. Brasil fue el único candidato nominado por al Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol (CSF). Según la política de rotación de la FIFA, abandonada el lunes, Sudamérica debía recibir la Copa en 2014, después de Europa (Alemania) en 2006 y Africa (Sudáfrica) en 2010.

Hallaron huellas de pies y manos de hace 5 mil años en Caral

Huellas de pies y manos que datan de hace aproximadamente cinco mil años encontró el equipo de arqueólogos del Proyecto Caral, sobre el piso de la también descubierta plaza circular "TinkuyMituKancha", al norte de Lima.

El anuncio lo hizo la arqueóloga, y responsable del Proyecto Especial Arqueológico Caral- Supe, Ruth Shady, dentro del marco de celebraciones por el décimo tercer aniversario de presentación de la civilización más antigua de América.
Shady, informó que además localizaron los restos de un infante, de aproximadamente dos años, adornado con cuencas cilíndricas de material orgánico y ofrendas de textiles quemados.
“TinkuyMituKancha” -o plaza de la integración- se ubica entre la Pirámide Mayor y Pirámide la Cantera, construcciones de piedra que forman parte del complejo arqueológico más antiguo del continente.
Las huellas se encuentran dispersas, afirma la estudiosa, y aparecen como si se dirigieran hacia distintas direcciones “como si sus protagonistas danzaran en una ceremonia ritual”, explicó durante la presentación del hallazgo.
“Este descubrimiento nos transmite un mensaje simbólico a la sociedad peruana actual. En esta zona construida que hemos mostrado, se puede observar la división dual que separa un espacio de color amarillo, de otro gris. Ambos habrían sido ocupados en un ritual, por grupos diferenciados que llegaban a un entendimiento en la mitad superior de esta edificación”, dijo.
La arqueóloga chalaca sostiene que el mensaje simbólico es de la integración, que podemos tener diferencias culturales, sociales o políticas, pero cuando se trata de sacar adelante obras que beneficien al país la confluencia de esfuerzos debe darse.
Explicó que esa práctica, el ritual de integración, se habría producido por las autoridades de entonces, para transmitir a la población que las diferencias no deben afectar los intereses comunes.
“Nosotros queremos que la arqueología del Perú le de al pueblo peruano de hoy, el mensaje de vincular el pasado con el presente, que dejemos las diferencias cuando se trate de beneficiar a la sociedad en su conjunto”, manifestó.
El equipo de arqueólogos, también presentó la fachada sur de la Pirámide de la Galería, tercera edificación de grandes dimensiones que conforman la ciudad sagrada.
La civilización más antigua de América, se encuentra en el kilómetro 184 de la carretera Panamericana Norte, a tres horas del centro de la capital, Lima.
Hace 13 años, Ruth Shady, junto a un equipo de arqueólogos inició las investigaciones y conservación de este patrimonio cultural, y también comenzó a difundirlo y a convocar de manera directa a la población de Caral y del ámbito de influencia para mejorar sus condiciones de vida.
