Hills Like White Elephants by Bruno Schiebel 

# data[].attributes.body
Hills Like White Elephants is an adaptation of the shor story written by Ernest Hemingway. Starred by the blond girl and the guy, the movie shows us a spiritual trip represented by the decision to take a train or not to take it. The movie is shot in two scenes where the characters develop different conversations. These are related to the intenal conflics of the main characters whi shows the inner trip to self-knowledge. The screenplay is not as faithful to Hemingway's original story as it could be. However, the actors playing roles is quite satisfactory, it works. Moreover, the sound effects are well done although they are not essential. The atmosphere in which the story is developed is quite grey and sad. A product to share with the family.

The performances of Marcus Smith and Rebecca Wickham were far from (what) the play required. For instance, (one) can't feel connected to the characters' emotions due to the lack of expressiveness. The only way that the director balances this complete dirth of talent was to use a simplistic and repetitive melody.
Furthermore, it is obvious that Schiebel did not do the proper research into Spanish culture because we can see references to Mexico in the barwoman's accent, the cactus in the background and the dryness fo the landscape. Fortunately, the sciript has remained faithful to the original story except for the age range, which we read as much greater between the lines of the original text. On the whole, if you are interested in watching this controversial couple, you will have the opportunity to enjoy it at the premiere in New York City theatres.

The Golden Compass
Reviewed by Stella Papamichael
Free will is the object of the game in The Golden Compass, a big budget exercise in orienteering where witches and polar bears point the way to enlightenment. You'll have to look between the CG seams to find the original intent of Philip Pullman's atheistic novel, but this isn't the overriding problem. It's that writer/director Chris Weitz doesn't convey a strong enough sense of purpose.

Thank goodness for the star presence of Dakota Blue Richards. She is thoroughly engaging as Lyra, a young girl singled out in prophecy as 'the one' to save all others from some awful yet indeterminate fate. It all sounds a bit messianic really, except that organised religion, represented by The Magisterium, is a force for evil. Nicole Kidman does the ominous eyebrow lifting as a guardian of the establishment who kidnaps children to wrest them from their 'daemons' (the animal sidekicks who embody their better judgment). Among the abductees is Lyra's best friend, and so begins the voyage north to find him.
Many questions raised
Daniel Craig has little to do as Lyra's scientifically minded uncle except hint at potential sequels. The draw is in a simple story of friendship and Lyra's journey of self-discovery. The line-up of curious characters she meets along the way helps to lighten to Pullman's otherwise dark material. Sam Elliot is wryly amusing as a cowboy aeronaut and the spectacle of Lyra being carried across the arctic wastelands on the back of a polar bear (voiced by Ian McKellen) will appeal to the child in everyone. Towards the end, some impressively realised battle scenes up the excitement. Disappointingly though, all this magic and mystery fails to lead to any grand unveiling. There are just too many questions raised and not enough answered. Approach this not as a lesson in the facts of life, just a bit of childish escapism.

The Golden Compass is out in the UK on 5 December 2007.

Analysis of the review of The Golden Compass

We can divide this review into three parts:

1. Introduction: this gives an overview of who is in the film and what it's about. It also sums up the reviewer's conclusion about the film (so readers can form an opinion without reading the whole of the review)

2. Paragraph 2: the reviewer then describes the plot and the action, while informing the reader which actor plays which role.

3. Paragraph 3: the reviewer then analyses the film, talking about the director and then the actors, looking at good things as well as bad things.

4. Finally: the review informs the reader when the film is out (and sometimes, in a local review, where it can be seen).

This is a short film I directed at the Los Angeles Film School in Hollywood in 2008. It was my first midterm project and I loved directing it. The story is about abortion and the end of a love relationship, and for those of you who noticed, I intentionally switched the dialogue between Jig and The American.

Nowadays, terrorism is a big challenge for our society.
We are about to see an increase of soldiers and the poluceman in the streets.
There are bound to be many deads until we find a reasonable solution.
This situation is caused by several reasons:
First, the conflicts that are set in the Middle East region. Secondly, the religious radicalism. The terrorist are very unlikely to change their minds.
Therefore, the Western Governments should do something about this problem because nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Our future is very uncertain and that's why they have to start doing something for real, because as we know, actions speak louder than words.

Student visas:

The official UK govt info about visas for studying in the UK is here

At the moment, EU residents do NOT need a visa:  There will be no change to the rights and status of EU nationals living in the UK, nor UK nationals living in the EU, while the UK remains in the EU.
But as Brexit is unfortunately moving ahead, the requirements for European students could change so your students will need to stay informed.

According to this list, for people outside the EU, the only approved tests to get the visa are the ones on this list (some taken in the UK, or IELTS from the British Council in Madrid!).  The best place to get up to date information about this would be the British Consulate and the British Council.

The bigger issue for studying in the UK after Brexit are the fees.  At the moment EU students pay the same as UK students - apparently this will still be the case in 2018-2019, but after that who knows?!

Language level required by UK universities

This may vary depending on each university, but according to the Cambridge English Exam page:  Cambridge English: Advanced is accepted by 100% of UK universities and colleges

Randomly choosing one university (Leeds) I see that they accept IELTS/CAE/TOEFL (minimum scores depend on level of study) - see here

Canada and the USA

Apparently:

TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) scores are the most common language requirements for American universities.

IELTS (International English Language Testing System) exam scores are the most common language requirements for Canadian universities.

I'm sure that you remember when, in an unfortunate accident, i broke your "Pascua eggs".  I know that I was only a little kid and these are things that happen, but you had truly attachment to those eggs and I want to apologize for my neglect.

You must be thinking about the reason why I have decided to apologize now, so many years after. Well, my apologize isn't  only verbal, in the red box you'll find two "Pascua eggs" that i bought in my last month trip to Pascua Island.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Dear Jose,

Hey darling, how do you get it on? I’m really sorry about what happened yesterday. I know I haven’t had to speak you like that and you were there with your best intentions. Nevertheless I was so stressed and I wasn’t thinking what I was saying.

Just wanted to let you know that before you talked to me, I was doing my English homeworks. I was trying to keep focused but I just couldn’t because of how noisy and loudy was my family, what’s more, the cat was arround me, only disturbing and entertraining himself with all my stuffs. It was really late, the time was goin on and I hadn’t finished my work yet. Then you started chatting with me and I couldn’t handle the stress.

I really apprecciate when we talked later and you understood everything. You’re such a good boyfriend. Anyway, I regret a lot the way I spoke to you at the begining and I want to thank you how sympathetic you are.

We will continue talking tomorrow.

Kisses.

Dear Mr Smith,

I would like to apologise for not coming to sign the settlement when you ordered me to do it. I thought that as I worked only three days on that I didn’t have to come to talk to you. I am really upset about it and I recognise that I didn’t acted correctly.

You should know that for me going to the Barcelona’s wharf to sign my fire was complicated due to de distance I have from my home. And the main reason that explains why I didn’t come is that I had selectivity exams to get the access to the university and my future was on trial.

I regret that situation and I hope you don't have a bad impression about me.

Yours sincerely,

Albert.

I’m sorry for having left your English classes suddently without saying a word. It wasn’t my intention, but i started to miss because i had to study for the university exams, then Christmas came... and when I realised, two months had passed since the last time i came class. That made me feel quite weird and I was not sure on how to proceed, so I decided to leave the classes definetly.

Just wanted to let you know it because that’s something i feel really bad about and I hope that you can understand it.

In fact, I called you Bose every time I was supposed to say your real name itself. Everyone in the class laughed when I did it, but I actually didn’t notice what I was doing wrong, so I kept on it, highly likely hurting you.

Dear grandma,

It was great to see you again last weekend and to spend time together as we hadn’t done for a long time.

During our conversation, you acted as lovely as ever but something it reminded me that day when I was only four or five years old and I made you angry.

I remember I’ve watched Snow white few days before that terrible day, and as you know, I was convinced that I wanted to be a princess. So, when I saw your Lovebirds cage, I desired to open it and let birds out while you were hanging clothes. As a girl with a princess ‘aspirations, I was sure that the birds would come to surround me, but it wasn't like that.
Instead of that, the birds got away and this made feeling you angry, sad and disappointed with me. I know that I was only an innocent girl living in a fantasy world but now that I’m old enough I think this is just an excuse.

I regret opening the bird cage and even now I’d wish that had never happened. I’m sorry about that day and I want to apologize of what I did. Although it happened a long time ago, I think it's better late than never.

Finally, I’m looking forward to seeing you next weekend and to listen what do you think about this matter. Probably, this story will be the source of many laughs.

Lots of love and kisses,
Your favourite granddaughter
Laia

Hi Brenda,

I know, I know… I don’t usually send you email messages, but I would like to apologize…

Having been back in Japan  I've thought quite a bit about what I miss and don't miss about sharing my life with you, mom and dad.  In fact, I'm missing all of you in a fierce way right now.

In spite of our discussions, I love you so much. I’m aware that because of our nature any discussion always seems worse than It really is. Both of us are hot-tempered and grumpy, but I’m sorry for pushing you sometimes. Despite sometimes you claw and bother me, I know that you don’t do this in a bad way and that is the reason why thinking about it I want to apologize.

You know how much I love you little one and I’m thinking about you and our parents constantly.To prove It I have something for you. Yesterday I went with a girl (I will explain that in other moment) to Akihabara and I bought a One piece figure for you.
Now you have work thinking about which character could be.

Take care little one.

Kisses!

Dear Thomas,

I’m writing this letter because the past few weeks I’ve been thinking about my behaviour. I know that the last time we spoke I promised you I will work with you in the laboratory, but if I have to be completely honest, even in that moment of speaking, I wasn’t really sure about that. So, instead of being sincere with you, I decided to accept your offer. But I didn’t say anything else during these weeks, and I imagine that you’ve been waiting for an answer. But now, I can accept my mistake and tell you everything I didn’t say in that moment.

First of all, it’s necessary to make clear that I’m really thankful for your offer. It’s not my intention to look disrespectful or ungrateful. The point is that I think that working in a laboratory is something I will be able to do in a few years and before to make a commitment with a job, I want to stay focused on my university subjects.

So, the next time you offer me something I wouldn’t be absolutely sure about, I will tell you immediately, because I think that honesty is one of the most important virtues.

I hope that we can put this matter behind us. It’s important for me because as the delegate of my class I have some responsibilites and you and I have to work together on some university issues in the next years.

Sincerely,

Arnau Serrano

List of Inductees
Bob Thurber (January 2015)
Guy Preston (January 2016)
Jennifer L. Freed (January 2017)

Bob Thurber
Read Bob Thurber's stories on 50WS
In 1974, at the age of nineteen, Bob Thurber bought an electric typewriter and set out to become a writer. Despite his lack of education, he worked at writing nearly every day for over twenty years before submitting for publication. He sold his first story at the age of forty-two, then went on to publish hundreds more, along with a stunning first novel and two collections of short fiction. His work has appeared in Esquire and other notable publications, and received a long list of awards and citations, including The Barry Hannah Fiction Prize. Selections have appeared in thirty-six anthologies and been utilized in schools and colleges as teaching tools and as examples of concise prose. He resides in Massachusetts where, though slowed by severe vision loss, he continues to write every day. Visit his website at www.BobThurber.net.

Bob Thurber became the first inductee into the 50WS Hall of Fame after earning the 2014 Story of the Year prize for his story The Mapmaker's Calligraphist Daughter, along with two other 2014 Story of the Week awards.

Guy Preston
Read Guy Preston's stories on 50WS
As Guy boarded the plane, his friend nudged him and whispered that the airline had one of the worst safety records in the world.

"But what's the worst that could happen?" he joked.

One emergency landing later, Guy sat inside a Peruvian airport and started to write his first poem.

In his eighteen month literary career, Guy's work has been featured on 50-Word Stories and his grandmother's fridge door. He is currently working on a collection of short stories, and writes almost exclusively with a pen he found in a train station car park. In his spare time, Guy plays songs about cowboys and fighting dragons in the desert.

Guy currently lives in Scarborough, a small English town famous for having the world's longest train station seat. Contrary to popular belief, he does not own a pet toucan. This is his first 144-Word bio.

Guy Preston became the second inductee into the 50WS Hall of Fame after earning the 2015 Story of the Year prize for his story One Job From Retirement to go with two 2015 Story of the Month awards.

Jennifer L. Freed
Read Jennifer L. Freed's stories on 50WS
When she was a girl, Jennifer L. Freed wanted to be a novelist. As a young adult, she wrote long non-fiction pieces based on her experiences as an
English teacher overseas. Years later, she still asks herself how she became so interested in much briefer forms of writing - poetry and micro-fiction. Maybe that's all that fit into the bits of time she had when her daughters were born. And maybe that explains why those daughters keep running in and out of so much of what she writes. (She still struggles to fit writing into nooks and crannies of her days.)

Her work has appeared in print literary journals including Poetry East, Off the Coast, The Worcester Review, and Common Ground Review, in online journals including Microfiction Monday, A Quiet Courage, and Citron Review, and in a chapbook, These Hands Still Holding (Finishing Line Press, 2014), a finalist for the 2013 New Women's Voices contest. She lives with her family in Massachusetts. To learn more or to read some of her work, please visit her website: jfreed.weebly.com

Jennifer L. Freed was the 2016 inductee into the 50WS Hall of Fame, earning Story of the Year honours for Aunt Peg.

Not until I have satisfied myself that there are some healthy options, do I decide which restaurant to go to.

On no account should you ever feel forced to have a starter and a main course.

Environmental consultants provide detailed technical assessments and advice on environmental matters for their clients

Your role will involve providing expert advisory and assessment services to your clients with the aim of minimising or eliminating environmental damage.

You'll usually be employed by a consultancy firm and work on a range of commercial or government contracts, addressing a variety of environmental issues. You may be responsible for ensuring that your client complies with environmental regulations.

Types of environmental consultant

You may work on a range of environmental issues or specialise in one area, such as:

air, land and water contamination

environmental impact assessment and flood risk

waste management and recycling

emissions and climate change

renewable energy opportunities

environmental management systems.

Responsibilities

As an environmental consultant, you'll need to:

conduct field surveys and collect data about levels of pollution or contamination on a site or area of consideration

carry out desk-based research, interpreting data which can include using software-modelling packages

write reports and share findings with multi-disciplinary colleagues, clients, sub-contractors (such as analytical laboratories) and regulators

advise on best courses of action based on research findings

develop conceptual models, which involves identification and consideration of potential contamination

research previous investigations of a site to provide information to clients considering purchase

undertake field work to identify previous activities on the site and any contamination

look at the suitability of new developments, like housing, power stations, wind farms or other large sites that may impact the environment

manage legislative issues for clients and maintain an awareness of how legislation impacts projects.

Salary

Graduate starting salaries typically range from £22,000 to £25,000.

Salaries for consultant grade positions, for those with an average of two to five years' experience, typically range from £22,000 to £35,000.

As a senior consultant with five to ten years' experience, you could expect to earn up to £45,000, potentially rising up to around £60,000 in a principal consultant position and more as a director.

Higher salaries are possible with postgraduate qualifications and when working in in-demand areas such as environmental impact assessment, contaminated land and waste management.

You may receive additional employee benefits like a mobile phone, laptop, car allowance or company car, pension schemes and share plans.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Working hours

Your hours may include regular extra hours, but not shifts. Some consultancies may operate a flexitime or overtime system.

Weekend working may be necessary at times for meeting client deadlines and when carrying out survey work that is dependent on good weather.

What to expect

Work is office based with time spent outdoors on site visits. This varies depending on the project, and there may be periods when you're in the office for several weeks, and others you spend on site. As you gain more experience, the amount of office-based work you carry out will increase.

Environmental consultants usually work as part of a small multidisciplinary team, although some contracts may involve conducting solo fieldwork away from home.

There are opportunities for contract work, but self-employment or freelance work is rare without considerable experience.

Increasing environmental regulation means that there is a growing demand for consultancy services.

Site-based work may require travel and absence from home overnight.

Qualifications

A good honours degree is the minimum entry qualification. The following degree subjects may increase your chances of employment in this sector:

ecology or wildlife management

environmental and earth sciences

environmental engineering

environmental management

geology

geophysics

hydrogeology

sustainability and environmental management.

If you're studying for a relevant degree, choosing a dissertation title which is relevant to your field of interest could be helpful.

A work-based placement through an employer will build the best contacts and experience. Entry is unlikely with an HND only.

In addition to a first degree, applicants often have a relevant postgraduate qualification or work experience in the field they are interested in.

Search for postgraduate courses in environmental consultancy.

Skills

You will need to show evidence of the following:

business skills and commercial awareness, as you'll be operating in a very commercial environment

communication and presentation skills

IT skills, such as word processing and the use of spreadsheets and presentation packages

project-management skills, as time and resources are allocated to projects and need to be monitored and adhered to

organisation and good time management, as you'll often need to manage several projects at a time

a driving licence - this is usually necessary, as you'll be visiting different sites.

Work experience

Although many posts ask for experience, employers don't always insist on this and some consultancies have established graduate training schemes through which to train junior staff.

Relevant work experience such as summer placements and work-based placements linked to a Masters programme is useful if you can get it. Local councils may provide project placements.

Volunteering can be a good way of gaining some experience and your local environment agency will likely advertise opportunities on its website.

Find out more about the different kinds of work experience and internships that are available.

Employers

Most environmental consultants are employed by consultancy firms, which are hired by the public sector and by commercial organisations.

In this role, you'll work with companies in the manufacturing and production sector, where environmental management is a fundamental concern.

Many companies offer environmental consultancy services in the UK. It's common for the smaller ones to concentrate their work in particular industries, while others may focus on specific areas, such as environmental impact assessment or audit.

Other employers of environmental consultants include:

local authorities

central government departments, such as the Environment Agency (EA)

non-governmental and wildlife organisations

pressure and conservation groups.

Developing areas for opportunities in environmental consultancy include South America and the Middle East.

Look for job vacancies at:

Specialist recruitment agencies, such as Evergreen Resources and Allen & York, handle a large proportion of vacancies in this sector. Jobs boards such as Green Jobs also list relevant opportunities.

To research companies and identify employers use directories such as the ENDS Environmental Consultancy Directory. Look for graduate opportunities on their websites and consider making speculative applications.

Professional development

The first two years of consultancy are typically spent gaining site-based experience, such as intrusive ground investigation, ecological surveys and ground and surface water sampling.

Much of your training will be carried out on the job, where you'll learn from experienced colleagues.

You can gain additional specialist knowledge or qualifications by completing short courses, offered by training organisations and institutions. Some of which are assessed by exams and/or a work-based project.

You can gain Chartered status in the form of the Chartered Environmentalist (CEnv) registration, once you have acquired enough skill and experience in the role.

Membership of chartered institutions and professional societies can offer you career guidance, opportunities to network, training, conferences and events and webinars and informative publications. Relevant bodies include:

It's important to keep up to date with the latest industry developments and to use the resources offered by professional bodies for your ongoing CPD and long-term career development.

Career prospects

With experience, you may be asked to manage small projects in order to take on more responsibility.

You'll generally progress to the position of senior consultant when you have around five years' experience. At this level, you'll usually be responsible for the management of staff, site investigations, contracts and the allocation of resources. You'll be involved in business development, with responsibility for marketing the business to new clients and developing relationships with existing clients, as well as identifying and submitting tenders for new work.

After working in a senior role for several years, you can move on to become a principal consultant, where you will focus on team management and commercial development.

Further progression to director level may be possible in some cases. Alternatively, you could move into other related areas such as research and consultation or policy and campaigns.
