UESB Caderno 1 2012TEXTO:
The future of the book
The transformation of the book industry has reached
a tipping point. Electronic books now outsell paperbacks
on Amazon, the retailer recently announced. And
Borders, the second-largest bookstore chain in the
[5] United States, is reportedly considering a bankruptcy
filing. With books evolving at extremely rapid speed, we
polled some literary brains on the future of reading:
JUDITH REGAN, book editor :
I think books will be more affordable. Books are
[10] pretty expensive. Publishers are so silly because
they focus on “We’re not going to be selling so many
hard-cover books at $26.” Yeah, but you’re going to sell
infinitely more electronically, so what are you complaining
about? I view it as a greater opportunity.
[15] DAVE EGGERS, author and founder of the publishing
house McSweeney’s:
I don’t own an e-reader, and I’ve never read a page
on an e-reader. I do everything I can to avoid more screen
time.
[20] I don’t think e-books have topped 10 % of the market.
My guess is that it will be about 15 to 20 % of the market,
because e-readers are expensive, and they’ll continue
to be expensive.
Not to diminish the value of a paperback, when it
[25] comes to somebody investing in a hardcover, it’s
something you want to keep. You have to give readers a
choice, between a richer experience with paper books
and a more sterile experience through an electronic
reader. We just try to make every aspect of the physical
[30] book as good as it can possibly be, because that’s our
greatest hedge against the dominance of e-books.
JAMES H. BILLINGTON, librarian of Congress:
The new immigrants don’t shoot the old inhabitants
when they come in. One technology tends to supplement
[35] rather than supplant. How you read is not as important
as: will you read? And will you read something that’s a
book — the sustained train of thought of one person
speaking to another? Search techniques are embedded
in e-books that invite people to get slightly involved rather
[40] than follow a full train of thought. This is part of a general
cultural problem.
JOYCE CAROL OATES, author:
My husband, Charlie, is a neuroscientist, and of
course he immediately ordered both the Kindle and iPad.
[45] When we travel, we read books and The New York Times
on the iPad. I’d much rather have a book.

Is an autonomous ship a 'ship' in the eyes of the law?
Different defmitions of 'ship' appear in different statutes and conventions, and it has often fallen to judges to decide if a floating object is, or is not, a 'ship'. ______________, none of the defmitions of'ship' requires that the floating object be manned, generally simply requiring that it be used or be capable of being used in navigation. Whether this is by remote control or fully autonomous would not appear to be a problem in terms of the legal definition of a 'ship'. It appears probable, ________________, that autonomous ships are likely to fali within the legal definition of 'ship' and so will have to comply with the relevant laws and conventions ______________ the laws themselves might require some modification.

HIGHLAND LIFE
What is life like for people who live in the Highlands of Scotland?
Scotland, famous for its whisky, its wool, its kilts, and many other fine things, covers about a third of the
territory of Great Britain. Britain has a population of about 64 million inhabitants — yet less than ten per cent of them
now live in Scotland, about 5.3 million people. And most of those 5.3 million people live in or near three urban centres,
Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Dundee.
[5] In the Highlands, which cover most of Scotland, the population is very thin. In many places — if there is
actually a road — you can drive for over 30 kilometres without seeing any human habitation, except perhaps a solitary
"croft", a small farm. Yet here and there, there are small towns; most of them are beside the sea. They have their
inhabitants and their economic activities, their children and their teenagers.
This Highlander, in traditional military uniform, is carrying bagpipes, and wearing a kilt. He also has a black
[10] leather sporran.
What is "a Highlander"?
If you ask someone to describe a Highlander to you, he will probably come up with the type of image you see
in whisky advertisements. A man wearing a kilt and a sporran, and standing on a misty mountain near a haunted
castle. The man plays the bagpipes, eats porridge and haggis, and drinks whisky. Now while it is true that whisky is
[15] indeed a favourite drink in the Highlands, the rest of the image is a long way from everyday reality.
Few Highlanders wear the kilt, except on special occasions or for ceremony.
Clans, Kilts & Tartans
You can't talk of the Highlands without talking of clans and kilts and tartans. A "clan" is a sort of tribe — a
group of people who belong to the same extended family, or have the same historic origin. In the past, each part of
[20] the Highlands was the territory of a clan. Clans were closely linked communities, each with its own chief. Clans were
— and still are — distinguished by their tartan. A tartan is a specific design, a criss-cross of couloured threads, which
is used for ceremonial clothes, such as the kilt or the plaid.
