Hot Air Ballooning

Hot air ballooning is an unusual but increasingly popular sport. There are about 2500 registered balloonists in Britain alone, and world-wide competitions attract thousands of enthusiasts. It has become easier to enjoy this addictive sport too, as changes in the law regarding passenger flights have allowed commercial ballooning companies to offer pleasure trips for parties and festivals. Most balloons carry 4 to 8 people, but some have been designed to carry more. One of these is the balloon which set the world record with a flight carrying 61 passengers at 12 meters above the ground.

The surprising thing about ballooning is that it is a hobby people follow for relaxation rather than for excitement. This fact is amazing considering that you are traveling in a large laundry basket 3,000 feet above the ground and that you never know where you will end up landing.

One thing that is so attractive is the simplicity of ballooning. The simple mechanism of a hot air balloon has not changed since the French Montgolfier brothers designed the original one in 1783. Balloons, since they go with the wind rather than against it, don’t have to be aerodynamic- that is, able to move through the air easily and efficiently. This fact makes ballooning less expensive than you might think.

A basic balloon, like the ones 99% of balloonists have, cost around 7,000 pounds, plus 20 pounds per flying hour running costs. However, if you prefer a more exotic design such as a fairy- tale castle in the sky, it will set you back at least 75,000 pounds. These specially-shaped balloons are almost always used for advertising. Most people interested in ballooning reduce the cost by joining together with like-minded people or by approaching businesses for sponsorship.

It is a surprisingly safe sport with the only problems occurring during low flying- crashing into trees, having to avoid power lines, and landing which is more like a controlled crash- after all, having no wheels you cannot technically land. The site has to be perfect- a down-wind field with no crops or power lines. Normally the worst thing that could happen to you is a few bumps and bruises or a sprained ankle.

Ballooning is not only about flying. It takes two ground crew and one pilot to prepare for taking off and to deflate the balloon once landed. One of the most important jobs is that of the retriever who has to follow the balloon in a retrieve vehicle wherever it goes. The traditional habit is for the retriever to give a bottle of wine as a token of appreciation to the landowner for use of the field for landing.

To become a private balloon pilot, you need to have a license from the Civil Aviation Authority, to have sixteen flying hours with an instructor, one solo flight, and to pass a written exam. All this can take between three and twelve months. If your pilot’s license is part of a business venture you will need another 100 hours of flight experience to gain a commercial license. A little more practice and you never know, you might be breaking Per Lindstrand’s altitude record. He flew 19,811 meters over Texas on the 6 th of June, 1988.

Life in a Day

What do you love? What do you fear? What’s in your pocket? These are the questions from the film Life in a Day. Director Kevin Macdonald asked people around the world to answer the questions and send in a video clip from a typical day. He was interested in creating a picture of the world, a digital time capsule for the future. On 24 July 2010, people from Africa, Europe, America, Antarctica and Asia recorded events on their mobile phones and digital cameras and uploaded the results onto YouTube.

Altogether there were 81000 video clips, or 4500 hours of footage. It took Macdonald and a team of researchers seven weeks to make them into a film. The film starts at midnight. The moon is high in the sky, elephants are bathing in a river in Africa and a baby is sleeping. At the same time, in other parts of the world, people are getting up, brushing their teeth and making breakfast. In the next minutes of the film, which is one and a half hours long, we watch everyday routines from more than 140 different countries and see the connections between them. In one scene an American girl is playing with her hula hoop, in another a child is working as a shoeshine in Peru. One looks privileged, the other is poor, but then the shoeshine boy shows up his favourite thing – his laptop. He is very proud of it because he earned the money to pay for it.

“We all care about the same things”, says the director and in some ways he’s right. Family and friends are the things most people love and many of them are keen on sports, like football.

But then one man says he loves his cat and onother loves his fridge because it doesn’t talk back! Monsters, dogs and death are the things most people fear. One young girl is anxious about growing up and a man in Antarctica says, “I’m afraid of losing this place”. But when asked, “What’s in your pocket?”, the answers are surprising. We don’t see an ID card, a shoping list, or a bus ticket. Instead, one person has a gun, then another shows us car keys for his Lamborghini.

A poorer man says he has nothing. He’s not ashamed of his poverty because he adds, “But we are alive”.

The teddy bear is a child's toy, a nice soft stuffed animal suitable for cuddling. It is, however, a toy with an interesting history behind it.

Theodore Roosevelt, or Teddy, as he was commonly called, was the president of the United States from 1901 to 1909. He was an unusually active man with varied pastimes, one of which was hunting.

One day the president was invited to take part in a bear hunt; and his hosts wanted to ensure that he caught a bear. A bear was captured, clanked over the head to knock it out, and tied to a tree; however, Teddy, who really wanted to hunt, refused to shoot the bear and in fact demanded that the bear be extricated from the ropes; that is, he demanded that the bear be set free.

The incident attracted a lot of attention among journalists. First, a cartoon — made by Clifford K. Berryman to make fun of this situation — appeared in the Washington Post, and the cartoon was widely distributed and reprinted throughout the country. Then, toy manufacturers began producing a toy bear, which they called a "teddy bear". The teddy bear became the most widely recognised symbol of Roosevelt's presidency.
