As questes referem-se ao texto a seguir. In recent years there have been suggestions that, instead of raising sheep, Australia should be raising kangaroos, which (unlike sheep) are native Australian species that are adapted to Australian plants and climates. It is claimed that the soft paws of kangaroos are less damaging to soil than are the hard hooves of sheep. Kangaroo meat is lean, healthy, and (in my opinion) absolutely delicious. In addition to their meat, kangaroos yield valuable hides. All of those points are cited as arguments to support replacing sheep herding with kangaroo ranching. However, that proposal faces real obstacles, both biological and cultural ones. Unlike sheep, kangaroos are not herd animals that will docilely obey one shepherd and a dog, or that can be rounded up and marched obediently up ramps into trucks for shipment to the slaughterhouse. Instead, kangaroo ranchers have to hire hunters to chase down and shoot their kangaroos one by one. Further problems with kangaroos are their mobility and ability to jump fences: if you invest in promoting growth of a kangaroo population on your property, and if your kangaroos perceive some inducement to move (such as rain falling somewhere else), your valuable crop of kangaroos may end up 30 miles away on somebody elses property. Kangaroo meat is accepted in Germany and some is exported there, but the sale of kangaroo meat faces cultural obstacles elsewhere. For Australians, kangaroo meat has little appeal, and they continue to prefer their more traditional types of meat, especially lamb and beef. Many Australian animal welfare advocates oppose kangaroo harvesting, not taking into consideration the fact that living conditions and slaughter methods are much crueler for domestic sheep and cattle than for wild kangaroos. The U.S. explicitly forbids the importation of kangaroo meat because we find the beasts cute, and because a congressmans wife heard that kangaroos are endangered. Some kangaroo species are indeed endangered, but ironically the species actually harvested for meat are abundant pest animals in Australia.

Winter Winter influences nature, people and even history. The winter of 1941 caused the Nazis many casualties from lack of cold weather equipment and played a part in the failure of Operation Barbarossa, the Nazi march on Moscow. In animals and plants, winter plays an important role in their life cycles. Some fur-coated mammals grow a heavier fur coat during the winter. This improves the heat-retention qualities of the fur. The coat is then shed following the winter season to allow better cooling. The heavier winter coat makes this season a favorite for trappers who seek more profitable skins. Snow also affects the ways animals behave, as many take advantage of the insulating properties of snow by

burrowing in it. Mice and voles typically live under the snow layer. Annual plants never survive the winter. As for perennial plants, many small ones profit from the insulating effects of snow by being buried in it. Larger plants, particularly deciduous trees, usually let their upper part die, but their roots are still protected by the snow layer. Passing seasons change the habits and moods of people. Around winter months, a gloominess, called winter blues or February blahs or Holiday depression during November and December is informally noted amongst people. The severest cases of this type of depression are diagnosed as seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Symptoms include sleeping more, tiredness, depression, and physical aches. Although cases include genetic disposition and stress, the prevailing environmental influence is decreased exposure to light due to winter weather patterns.

Van Gogh era otro Van Gogh El autorretrato, perteneciente a la coleccin del museo Van Gogh, es del hermano del artista, Theo. El museo descubre el error gracias a un estudio de la oreja del hermano, ms redonda que la del pintor. El Museo Van Gogh de msterdam ha descubierto que un autorretrato del artista fechado en 1887 es, en realidad, un retrato de su hermano, Theo. La clave del hallazgo est en la oreja. Pero no la de Vincent, que casi la seccion de un tajo en 1888, cuando trabajaba en Arls (Francia) con su colega galo Paul Gauguin. La oreja estudiada por los expertos de la sala holandesa pertenece a Theo Van Gogh. Segn Louis van Tilborgh, conservador del museo, la de Theo es redonda y de forma perfecta. Vincent la tena ms carnosa y rojiza. Su barba era tambin ms pelirroja y le creca por las mejillas. El hallazgo coincide con la apertura de la muestra Van Gogh en Amberes y Pars, nueva perspectiva, que permanecer abierta hasta el 18 de septiembre. Adems del gancho de las orejas y los retratos casi gemelos, a travs de 93 cuadros podr seguirse la evolucin del pintor, que pasa del realismo al modernismo. El museo guarda varios dibujos de Theo firmados por Van Gogh, y echaba en falta un cuadro fraternal. Theo financi a Vincent y le mandaba material de pintura adems de sumas en efectivo. Cuando le peda ms suministros, escriba cartas muy largas con una caligrafa excelente y las llenaba de dibujos. La correspondencia entre ambos fue tan abundante, que es uno de los mayores legados artsticos conservados por el museo holands. Theo tena adems una gran frustracin, porque nunca pudo vender los lienzos de su hermano. Van Gogh se hizo famoso a ttulo pstumo y su obra ha sido luego una de las ms cotizadas en las subastas internacionales. Tan unidos estaban, que Theo falleci en 1891, apenas un ao despus que Vincent. El museo de msterdam ha hecho aun dos descubrimientos ms durante la preparacin de la muestra. En el cuadro titulado Trigal con alondra (1887), el ave resulta ser una perdiz. Pero tal vez el hallazgo ms curioso sea el ltimo. El artista vivi en diversos lugares de Francia, entre ellos Pars. Pues bien, la tela El jardn de los enamorados, no retrata un paseo del pueblo galo de Asnires, como se crea. Se encuentra en el barrio parisino de Montmartre. Un lugar tan concurrido en 1887, fecha de ejecucin del lienzo, como ahora.
