Brit dad is the first person to take
a holiday in the ruins of failed state ISIS
in Northern Iraq
Dad-of-four Andy Drury, 53, had no visas and was in danger of kidnapping from militia d uring his £4,000 three-day break in Mosul, Northern Iraq. But he has _______ back stunning photos of t he former IS stronghold.
Building firm owner Andy, of Guildford, Surrey, has spent the last 20 years touring areas of the planet most people do not dare to go and first visited this a rea in 2016.
He said of one visit to a dangerous area near Mosul : “I was nervous, my heart was in my mouth for 20 minutes.
“We had been turned away by Iraqi forces. If caught , we could have been jailed for spying.”
Andy added: “I must be the first person to be have been a tourist in the ruins of Islamic State.
“My fixer Ammar (not his real name) was right on th e front line for the taking back of Mosul, taking repor ters in there.
“But he said he is more scared with me, with the ne ws reporters he was in an armoured car, but with m e on the front line a couple of years ago, he said I di dn’t wear a vest or helmet or nothing, he said that w as scarier.”
Andy said he doesn’t wear protective clothing beca use he tries to stumble on as little front line fighting as possible.
The businessman is meticulous in the planning of hi s trips and so far has holidayed in no-goareas like Somalia, North Korea and Afghanistan, as well as spending time with the Klu Klux Klan.
Andy said:
“Driving in from Iraq and Kurdistan, all the buildings were beautiful, and then it changes, and I’ve never seen nothing like it, it was like an apocalyptic film.

‘It’s the only way to combat single-
use plastics’: Birmingham’s zero-
waste supermarket
Zero-
waste shopping promises to cut down on wasteful p ackaging and eradicate single-
use plastics from the weekly grocery shop. But can we really be weaned off our addiction to the ease a nd convenience offered by traditional supermarkets, with their pots of chilled products and plastic-
wrapped packs of fruit?
Jeanette Wong and partner Tom Pell think we can. In June 2018, they opened the Clean Kilo, a zerowaste vegetarian supermarket in Digbeth,
Birmingham where shoppers buy in bulk, bringing in their own containers and filling the m with everything from rice,
pulses and pasta to yoghurt, butter and milk.
The idea is to keep packaging to a minimum, so ev erything is scoopable, pourable and refillable. You c an squeeze your own orange juice, get ice-cream in cones and find a selection of fresh fruit and vegetab les. There are eco-
friendly cleaning products and personal care items. Moisturiser and body wash are sourced locally from nearby Bournville, and the contents of the five-
litre containers can be pumped into shoppers’ vess els. Washing up liquid, detergent and cleaners are dispensed from stainless steel containers into custo mers’ bottles, while laundry and dishwasher powder s are scooped into their containers. There’s not a pi ece of single-use plastic in sight.

TEXTO
Os Estados Unidos desenvolveram-se bastante
durante boa parte da década de 1920. Carros
lustrosos corriam pelas estradas, e bairros
residenciais com casas novas financiadas por
uma grande quantidade de bancos se
espalhavam por toda parte. A bolsa de valores
fervilhava, uma vez que era absurdamente fácil
tomar dinheiro emprestado para comprar
ações. Na quinta-feira de 24 de outubro de
1929, a bolsa de valores de Nova Iorque abriu
movimentada, com poucos sinais de
instabilidade. Então, por algum motivo real ou
não, uma histeria pessimista se instalou,
aumentando a cada hora que passava. Quase
todos queriam vender e, quando os preços
caíram bruscamente, apareceram os caçadores
de pechinchas, os quais descobriram, uma hora
mais tarde, que tais pechinchas não existiam
mais. Naquele dia, o número total de ações
vendidas superou em mais de 50% as vendas
em qualquer outro dia na história da bolsa. No
período de algumas semanas, as ações norte-
americanas se valorizaram um pouco e logo
caíram mais do que haviam subido. Com essa
queda, os valores dos imóveis também
diminuíram. Em outros países, os preços de
praticamente todas as principais
“commodities”, com exceção do ouro,
sofreram queda. Era bastante normal que um
“boom” econômico fosse seguido por uma
recessão, mas aquela era assustadoramente
grave. O medo deu lugar ao pânico. Nove mil
estabelecimentos bancários cerraram as portas
apenas nos Estados Unidos, além de terem sido
fechados os principais bancos da Áustria, da
Alemanha, da Tchecoslováquia e de outras
nações prósperas. Na França, a política
monetária, com o intuito de acumular reservas
de ouro, aumentou o massacre internacional. A
maioria das pessoas parou de comprar
produtos que não considerava essenciais.
Novos carros não eram facilmente vendidos e
a indústria automobilística em Detroit e em
Turim passou a comprar menos aço e borracha.
(BLAINEY, Geoffrey. Uma Breve História do
Século XX. 2 ed. São Paulo: Fundamento,
2011, p. 103).

A palavra “absurdamente”, utilizada pelo autor na linha 7 do texto, possui a seguinte classe gramatical:
Olha que coisa mais linda
Mais cheia de graça
É ela menina
Que vem e que passa
Num doce balanço
A caminho do mar
Moça do corpo dourado
Do sol de lpanema
O seu balançado é mais que um poema
É a coisa mais linda que eu já vi passar Tom Jobim

Cheguei. Chegaste. Vinhas fatigada
E triste, e triste e fatigado eu vinha.
Tinhas a alma de sonhos povoada,
E a alma de sonhos povoada eu tinha...
E paramos de súbito na estrada
Da vida: longos anos, presa à minha
A tua mão, a vista deslumbrada
Tive da luz que teu olhar continha.
Hoje, segues de novo... Na partida
Nem o pranto os teus olhos umedece,
Nem te comove a dor da despedida.
E eu, solitário, volto a face, e tremo,
Vendo o teu vulto que desaparece
Na extrema curva do caminho extremo.
