HF / News - Olympics Kill Big Chill Festival Organisers of Britain’s pioneering boutique festival the Big Chill announced this week that August’s outdoor event has been cancelled, over concerns about the impact London’s upcoming Olympics will have. “Efforts are being made to look to bring a smaller event indoors this year,” a staffer wrote on the site’s Forum, “with the anticipation of Big Chill being back outdoors in 2013,” she added. Big Chill overall boss Melvin Benn said he’d struggled to save this year’s festival which had been due to take place outside London at Eastnor Castle Deer Park between August 2nd and 5th, slap bang in the middle of the sports event. “I looked long and hard late last year at moving the date so it didn't clash with the Olympics but the mix of the festival fans desire to keep the date and an inability to find an alternative date that works I plumped for maintaining the existing weekend,” he said in a statement. ‘Come to this instead’: he posted on Facebook.

CLAIRE MARTIN : LIGHT JOURNEYS Slab City has been created by a small but committed community of squatters in the Colorado Desert of South Eastern California, USA. Taking its name from the concrete slabs that remain from an abandoned World War II base, it is a tragic yet romantic landscape that commands its residents to possess the same balance of beauty and beast. Unbearable temperature highs in summer weed out the many who inhabit the free space in winter leaving only the most resilient, or the most unfortunate, as permanent residents. Claire began her career by pursuing a degree in social work, however, switched her focus to photography when she realised that change can also be effected through this medium.

White In the issue of The New Yorker dated two weeks after E. B. White died, his stepson, Roger Angell, wrote the following in the magazine’s “Talk of the Town” section: Last August, a couple of sailors paid an unexpected visit to my summer house in Maine: young sailors—a twelve-year-old-girl and an eleven-year-old boy. White, who had been ill, was not able to greet our small party that day, but there were other sights and creatures there to make us welcome: two scattered families of bantam hens and chicks on the lawn; the plump, waggly incumbent dog, name of Red; and the geese who came scuttling and hissing up the pasture lane, their wings outspread in wild alarm. So many critics equate the success of a writer with an unhappy childhood. As a child, I was frightened but not unhappy. At what age did you know you were going to follow a literary profession? I never knew for sure that I would follow a literary profession. What were those first pieces accepted by The New Yorker? Yes. No.

Listen A Minute: Easier English Listening and Activities :zenhabits Welcome Fellow English Teachers! Welcome, fellow teachers! Over the years, we have been visited by teachers from around the world who use our lessons with their students. Some of our non-native English teacher colleagues around the world even use our lessons to improve their own speaking and listening confidence. We provide lessons at 3 different speeds to improve your students listening comprehension. Depending on the level of your students, you will either be starting with the slow speed or the normal speed. We recommend that your students listen at least one or two times without reading the text. You may want to pre-teach the vocabulary before the first listening. Shadowing is another technique that you might use to improve your students pronunciation. Some teachers also have their students practice dictation or create cloze exercises with our lessons.
