A New Zealand pizza chain aims to become the world's first company to offer a commercial drone delivery service, a milestone in the onceunthinkable quest to save time and money with an air-borne supply chain dispensing with people. Domino's Pizza Enterprises Ltd conducted a demonstration pizza delivery by drone in the New Zealand city of Auckland on Thursday, and afterwards said it aimed to be the first company to launch a regular drone service, late this year, despite the fact that Domino's Chief Executive Officer Don Meij had said in a statement "We've always said that it doesn't make sense to have a 2-tonne machine delivering a 2-kilogram order."

Even though Domino’s Pizza used in its test drones provided by U.S.-headquarted Australian drone company Flirtey, Philip Solaris, director of a New Zealand based drone company called X-craft Enterprises, said that while New Zealand has accommodating regulations on drones, Domino’s would be held back by a rule requiring drones to be kept in sight at all times, and added “I can't truly see how commercially viable that idea is because you would have to literally have somebody walking along to keep it in the line of sight, watching it at all times.” Other than that, he warned that “Domino’s service would still need to overcome random hazards (like) power lines, moving vehicles, children in the backyard playing”.

Russia covered up a nuclear disaster in Kazakhstan in the 1950s that was FOUR TIMES worse than Chernobyl reveals secret report

Fallout from a Soviet nuclear weapons test at Semipalatinsk in August 1956 resulted in more than 600 people in a town over 100 miles (175 km) away ending up in hospital with radiation sickness. The secret report (bottom left) was recently found at the test facility, where the first Soviet nuclear test was conducted on August 29, 1949 (top right). Between 1949 and 1989 some 456 nuclear tests were carried out, and children in the region are still being born with birth defects to this day (bottom right).

Two houses in Oakland go up for sale for just $1 for the pair 

Two Bay Area houses on the market for $1 might sound like a cruel joke for many living in the area, which faces some of the highest housing rates in the nation - but it's no hoax.

It is true that two turn-of-thecentury homes in Oakland, California, have been listed for just $1, but there's a catch: The houses are available for such a low price because the land they sit on isn't included. The houses have to be removed from the property by April 30 to make way for a new 127-unit apartment complex.

Anyone who buys the homes will have to pay the costly price of transporting the homes from their current location to another plot of land, that he or she would have to find and purchase separately.

Anna Karenina

By Leo Tolstoy - PART ONE - Chapter 1

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

Everything was in confusion in the Oblonskys’ house. The wife had discovered that the husband was carrying on an intrigue with a French girl, who had been a governess in their family, and she had announced to her husband that she could not go on living in the same house with him. This position of affairs had now lasted three days, and not only the husband and wife themselves, but all the members of their family and household, were painfully conscious of it. Every person in the house felt that there was no sense in their living together, and that the stray people brought together by chance in any inn had more in common with one another than they, the members of the family and household of the Oblonskys. The wife did not leave her own room, the husband had not been at home for three days. The children ran wild all over the house; the English governess quarreled with the housekeeper, and wrote to a friend asking her to look out for a new situation for her; the man-cook had walked off the day before just at dinner time; the kitchen-maid, and the coachman had given warning.

Mas, infelizmente para a quietação do Silvério, Jacinto lançara raízes, e rijas, e amorosas raízes na sua rude serra. Era realmente como se o tivessem plantado de estaca naquele antiquíssimo chão, donde brotara a sua raça, e o antiquíssimo húmus refluísse e o penetrasse todo, e o andasse transformando num Jacinto rural, quase vegetal, tão do chão, e preso ao chão, como as árvores que ele tanto amava.

• O trecho acima é do romance A Cidade e as Serras, de Eça de Queirós. Do personagem Jacinto, aí referido e do conhecimento que se possa ter dele ao longo da obra, não é correto afirmar que

O camucim, que recebeu o corpo de Iracema, embebido de resinas odoríferas, foi enterrado ao pé do coqueiro, à borda do rio. Martim quebrou um ramo de murta, a folha da tristeza, e deitou-o no jazigo de sua esposa.

A jandaia pousada no olho da palmeira repetia tristemente:

- Iracema!

• O trecho acima, do romance Iracema, refere a morte da personagem, cuja causa deu-se

O Almocreve

Vai então, empacou o jumento em que eu vinha montado; fustiguei-o, ele deu dois corcovos, depois mais três, enfim mais um, que me sacudiu fora da sela, com tal desastre, que o pé esquerdo me ficou preso no estribo; tento agarrar-me ao ventre do animal, mas já então, espantado, disparou pela estrada fora. Digo mal: tentou disparar, e efetivamente deu dois saltos, mas um almocreve, que ali estava, acudiu a tempo de lhe pegar na rêdea e detê-lo, não sem esforço nem perigo. Dominado o bruto, desvencilhei-me do estribo e pus-me de pé.

- Olhe do que vosmecê escapou, disse o almocreve.

( ...) Resolvi dar-lhe (...) uma recompensa digna da dedicação com que ele me salvou.

• Este trecho é retirado do capítulo que exemplifica bem a personalidade e o caráter do narrador. Assim, considerando o episódio como um todo, no ato final da recompensa, Brás Cubas

Entre o Ser e as Coisas

Onda e amor, onde amor, ando indagando

ao largo vento e à rocha imperativa,

e a tudo me arremesso, nesse quando

amanhece frescor de coisa viva.

Às almas, não, as almas vão pairando,

e, esquecendo a lição que já se esquiva,

tornam amor humor, e vago e brando

o que é de natureza corrosiva.

N’água e na pedra amor deixa gravados

seus hieróglifos e mensagens, suas

verdades mais secretas e mais nuas.

E nem os elementos encantados

sabem do amor que os punge e que é, pungindo,

uma fogueira a arder no dia findo. 

• O poema acima é de Carlos Drummond de Andrade e integra a obra Claro Enigma. Da leitura dele não se pode concluir que

O sol cresce, amadurece. Mas eles estão esperando é a febre, mais o tremor. Primo Ribeiro parece um defunto – sarro de amarelo na cara chupada, olhos sujos, desbrilhados, e as mãos pendulando, compondo o equilíbrio, sempre a escorar dos lados a bambeza do corpo. Mãos moles, sem firmeza, que deixam cair tudo quanto ele queira pegar. Baba, baba, cospe, cospe, vai fincando o queixo no peito; e trouxe cá para fora a caixinha de remédio, a cornicha de pó e mais o cobertor.

• O trecho acima integra o conto Sarapalha e faz parte da obra Sagarana de João Guimarães Rosa. Dessa narrativa como um todo, é errado afirmar que
